COLLECTION TIME
The Kroger Co. is free toexpand its store at 7580Beechmont Ave. by about50,000 feet following approvalof its zone change request bythe Anderson Township Boardof Trustees during their Dec.18 meeting.
Approval of the zonechange - from “C” Residence,“E” and “E” PUD Retail Busi-ness District to “EE” PlannedRetails - came with 19 condi-tions. These included that thelandscape area shall be main-tained along Wolfangel Roadfrom Bowen Street to Arling-ton Avenue to provide transi-tional area from the commer-cial development to residen-tial uses; total number of cartcorrals shall be identified inthe parking analysis and shallbe resubmitted as part of thefinal development plan.
The Cincinnati-based gro-cery chain in 2011 and 2012bought 6.5 acres of land in theblock next to its current store.Most of the properties weresingle-family homes south ofBowen Avenue, but Krogeralso bought the former cardealership and body shopproperty at the corner of Wol-fangel Road and BeechmontAvenue.
The development plan callsfor additional landscaping andnearly a dozen traffic im-provements in accordancewith a traffic impact analysis
of Beechmont Avenue, Wol-fangel Road, Bowen Avenueand Towne Center Way, as wellas neighbors’ recommenda-tions on how to improve traf-fic flow. As part of the expan-sion, drive thru lanes for theKroger pharmacy and thebank will be extended furthereast and there will be an addi-tional pharmacy drive thruwindow. A customer pickuparea for online orders will beincluded as well.
A future Kroger develop-ment on the corner of Beech-mont and Wolfangel is alsoproposed with about 18,500square feet in two buildings onone acre.
Resident Paul Swansonsaid he thought the Kroger ex-pansion plans were “great.”However, resident Tim Rittercriticized the plan, saying itdidn’t go far enough in pro-tecting the residential neigh-borhood abutting the proper-ty.
Resident Jerry Hender-light noted that Kroger hasbeen “kind” to the neighborsand expressed his gratitudefor Kroger’s willingness totalk with neighbors.
Trustee President RussellJackson questioned if the traf-fic flow around the Kroger gasstation would be improved. Atthis time there are no plans forchanges to that area. He addi-tionally thanked Kroger for“listening to the neighbors.”
“We greatly appreciatethat,” he said.

When it comes tomaking neighborsfeel cared for, Billand Bev Rich of
Anderson Township are pros. In fact, this husband/wife
duo has been lending a help-ing-hand to their neighborsfor more than two decades.
“I have been saluting Billand Bev Rich for 21 years,”Betsy Pharo wrote in hernomination letter. “They aredefinitely ‘Neighbors WhoCare.’ Bill has been snowplowing my driveway for 21years and occasionally hiswife shows up with a shovel.
“Bill is always there to fixa light, start a lawnmower, fixa mailbox or dishwasher, ga-rage door, or backed upplumbing. If a tree falls oryour yard is full of debris Billcomes to the rescue, cuts upthe big limbs and Bev is rightthere beside him. They justappear and lend a helpinghand.
They are very thoughtful,fun-loving people and havebeen an inspiration to me.”
Mary Ann Myers also not-ed her letter of nomination forBill and Bev Rich that theygenerously clear snow fromdriveways and sidewalks,especially but not exclusivelyfor retirees.
“He will help with any-thing,” she wrote. “If hehasn’t seen you outside, hewill call and check to see ifyou are okay. This has beengoing on for a few years now.
For Thanksgiving Bill andBev delivered homemade nutbread to the neighbors, Pharosaid in an email message.“They are the nicest, kindest,thoughtful and giving people,”she added.
Myers’ daughter, EileenAlfieri, noted the generosityof the Rich family, even dur-ing challenging times of their
own. “Even when his wife was
battling cancer, Bill was stillout there lending a handwhenever needed,” she wrote.Most recently, Mr. Rich wason the Myers roof cleaninggutters.
Both Bev and Bill Rich
were honored to have theirneighbors think so highly ofthem. “That’s what we’re herefor,” said Bev Rich. “We real-ly consider them family, notneighbors.” While she wasgoing through cancer, she saidthat neighbors brought overcovered dishes. When she can,she bakes bread to share.
“It’s good people think ofme that much,” Bill Rich said.“We kind of all help each oth-er out around here.”
Winstone Court residentsrally to help neighbor
Residents on Winstone Court ral-lied when one of their own suffered amassive stroke last year.
Cathy Jackson is still thankful forthe generosity shown to she and herhusband, Bill.
“Our neighbors mowed our lawn,brought us dinners, installed rampsfor my husband’s wheelchair, gaveus goodies at Christmas and Easter(and) shoveled our driveway,” Jack-son said.
In general, they have been thebest neighbors anyone could ask for,she said.

MORE NEIGHBORS WHO CARE
You nominated these Neigh-bors Who Care:
JUDIE SWEENEY, AN-DERSON TOWNSHIPNominated by Susan Foster“When she moved in acrossthe street from me manymoons ago, she was so friend-ly, I was overwhelmed! Overthe years, she taught me whatneighborliness looks like; herfriends became my friends,and mine hers. We sharedrecipes, leftovers, walks, ridesand pet-sitting. We turneddown each others’ heat,turned off forgotten irons,brought in mail, and mowedyards during family vacations.“Judie’s friendliness didn’tstop at my door. She plannedactivities to connect thehouseholds of the two sides ofour street separated by Beech-mont. Ever the history buff,she researched the interestinghistory of the family who gaveWilaray its name, and madebinders for each family on thestreet with a profile of eachhousehold.“Judie and her family recentlymoved from their large hometo a condo in Anderson. I missher all the time, but no mo-ment more poignantly than afew weeks ago, when, bakinga cake, I came up about threetablespoons short of thebrown sugar I needed. I washit with an utter wave of
sadness that my go-to neigh-bor was gone! Now she isjust(!) among my best friends,the sister I never had.”
GLENDA CUSICK, AN-DERSON TOWNSHIPNominated by Jan Sherbin“Over the past severalmonths, she has shown ex-traordinary devotion to ourmutual neighbor, Gerri Gar-matter, as she lost her battlewith cancer. Glenda sat atGerri’s bedside for hours aday, day after day. At home,at the nursing home, at hos-pice. Just to ‘be there’ andmake sure Gerri didn’t feelalone. Gerri had no localfamily and greatly valued thecompanionship of her ‘adopt-ed sister.’”
MIKE MARKSBERRY,ANDERSON TOWNSHIPNominated by Richard andMary Koebbe“I along five other elderlyneighbors, live with at thetop of a hill on a privateroad spur that runs off ofWitt Road. Being a privateroad we get no city snowremoval.“Mike bought a blade for histruck and every time itsnows, he religiously gets upat the crack of dawn to clearthe road and salts the hilldown. He will push the snowfrom your drive way as welland asks for nothing inreturn. Everyone shouldhave a neighbor like Mike.”

This is such a bless-ing to us and we are trulygrateful.“Our home is on a busy
corner lot and it has a largecovered porch from whichmy husband and I like to sitand watch – and talk - to ourneighbors has they walk/jogby. Often, the neighbors willstop by and visit with us. I’mtold many people look for ussitting on the porch as theydrive by. Particularly whenthe weather is nice.“Together, while doing theirindependent morning‘walks,’ these kind neighborsmake sure our newspaper issafely placed at our door –no matter what the weather.We are so blessed to havethese kind people lookingout for us.”

A publication of
The Ohio State Board ofEducation will vote in March toremove an operating standardthat requires all school dis-tricts to staff five of eightservice positions for each in-crement of 1,000 students.
The positions involve thearts, physical education, healthservices, library servicescounseling, social workers. Ifthe rule is eliminated, statestandards will no longer re-quire public school districts toemploy music, art,and physicaleducation teachers at the ele-mentary levels.
If the state board of educa-tion erases the rule, only thesecondary schools would haveto provide certified staff mem-bers in the areas now coveredby the five of eight rule. Aprimary factor underlying thisproposed change is to give
local boards ofeducation theflexibility todetermine thestaff positionsthey deemnecessary fortheir schooldistricts.
Given thisnew power,boards could
reduce their budgets by simplyeliminating the positions orredirecting the expenditures toother areas of the the district'sbudget. For example, a schooldistrict has 5,000 studentsenrolled in its elementaryschools with a cost of $60,000per position for each of theminimum required positions,the board would have $1.5 mil-lion per year at its disposal touse for whatever local need it
determines.Boards of Education that
have a well established historyof supporting the arts andother educational services forelementary schools will con-tinue to do so. Sadly, boardsthat face declining tax reve-nues or low achievement scoreissues may choose to use thosemonies for other purposes.Ironically, once the standard isremoved, charter school opera-tors might elect to simply ap-ply these funds for profit to thethe school's management com-pany.
At least 60 percent of taxrevenue available for Ohio'spublic schools is provided byfunds generated by renewableoperating levies. When localcommunities choose to denythese levies, history has shownthat budget reductions always
initially occur in those pro-grams impacted by the five ofeight rule.
Surely, most residents real-ize the ultimate negative im-pact such a decision wouldhave on the education of ele-mentary students. Of coursethe students whose families donot have the financial means toavail themselves of such pro-grams and services will sufferthe greatest consequences byremaining in their district ofresidence. Families of theother students will selectivelypay for the programs thatinterest their children, move toa more affluent school district,or enroll them in privateschool that has a comprehen-sive arts and physical educa-tion program.
The Ohio Constitution re-quires the state to provide a
thorough and efficient educa-tion for all children. The state'sSupreme Court has confirmedthis on at least two separateoccasions.
Unfortunately, this pro-posed change to the state'sminimum operating standardsfor education will just be onemore example of the state andsome local boards of educationignoring the court's directives.
In the meantime, the famil-iar elementary school soundsof tennis shoes squeaking onthe gymnasium floor or themelodious sounds waftingfrom a music room will be-come the eerie sounds of si-lence in some of Ohio's ele-mentary schools.

The Environmental Protec-tion Agency estimates thatonly 25 percent of electronicsare recycled; the rest end upin landfills or incinerators.
Electronics, which alsoincludes peripherals, cablesand cell phones, containchemicals that can potentiallyharm groundwater while sit-ting for decades in landfills.
Incineration is not a goodoption either, as burning plas-tics and metals produces tox-ic air pollutants.
Here are a few suggestionsfor environmentally-friendlyways to dispose of your usedelectronics.
» Consider donating toyour local school, church,Crayons For Computers orGoodwill.
» Take your electronics to
an electronicsoutlet: Clean-lites in Cincin-nati and For-est Park; Co-hen Metals inNorwood andCincinnati(4538 KelloggAve.); Comp-ton Recycling(ColerainTownship) and

The times are such that weneed to look at both of thesehuman virtues.
There is a relationship toexamine. In spite of all theethnic tensions that seem to becausing trouble everywhere,each of us can have an impor-tant impact on improving thesituation before it gets furtherout of control. Consider that asyou appear in a group ofstrangers many of them arelikely to evaluate you. Thisincludes ethnicity, appearance,manners, behavior or anyother personal aspect. How doyou want to be judged? Sadly,some people will try to find away to dislike you. Certainlyyou have noticed this veryhuman fault. My purpose inthis essay is to help us try torestore humanity to a suitablelevel.
Let me give you an instanceI had in a very trying situation.It was five days after 9-11 2001and I was rushing to a hospitalin Columbus where my termi-nally ill daughter was to givebirth. As I rushed to the door, Inoticed a woman behind me.She was wearing Muslimdress. What was I to do? Afterquick, but intensive thought, I
held the doorfor her andsmiled. It maynot havechanged anyof her atti-tudes, but Ifelt like I haddone the rightthing. Thatwas just asimple courte-sy, hopefully it
may have made some changefor the better.
Simple courtesy is a posi-tive action toward a bettersociety. It costs you nothing,yet, it will improve humanrelationships. Think of howmany times you performed asimple kind gesture to astranger. Most often you arerewarded by a smile. That ismore important than youthink. It reflects on you andmost likely your ethnicity ifthe stranger is of another eth-nicity. In a small way you haveimproved on all of humanity.Think of how much better thisis than the recent senselessriots that have only increasedtensions and solved nothing.Tensions exist. The only way toreduce them is respect for all
people.This respect begins with
every person considering thatthey are representatives oftheir ethnicity. Quite simplyyour respect begins with you.You will gain or lose it by youractions. Progress begins withcourtesy. Once you have madethat choice, you will find thatyour self-respect will grow. Itwon’t be long before othersnotice and honor it. Respect ismore easily lost than gained.This is due to human natureand in some part, jealousy.
Police officers have a verydifficult task. They representall of us and may feel threat-ened is some cases. Part oftheir mental make up is toprotect themselves for obviousreasons. This makes them nodifferent than any of us. Thisis evident in the great increasein gun sales.
If we want to stop the vio-lence, it is up to all of us to actcourteously in every situation.The antagonism toward any-one and the looting and dam-age tot businesses only produc-es more bad reactions.

Autumn is upon us andcrispness is in the air.
As the leaves pile up, itmay be tempting to dispose ofthem quickly by burning.Although leaves, smallbranches and other yard trim-mings are natural, they pro-duce a variety of harmfulpollutants upon burning. Openburning is especially harmfulto those with asthma or otherrespiratory illnesses.
There are several optionsto dispose of yard trimmingsthat won’t pollute the air.
Take advantage of curbsideyard trimmings collection or
free yardtrimmingsdrop-off sites,especially forlarger materi-als such asfallen treelimbs andbranches.HamiltonCounty Recy-cling andSolid Waste
District provides three yardtrimming drop-off sites openeach weekend through Nov.23.
Additionally, you could
start your own backyard com-post pile. Fall is the perfecttime to start composting be-cause of the abundant leavesand grass clippings.
If you plan to enjoy a back-yard fire pit, remember tokeep the size no larger thanthree feet wide by two feethigh and use dry, seasonedwood.

SHORT HOPS
By Nick [email protected]
GOLF, Illinois — A yearago, Grady Quinn’s fatherpassed away after a sud-den heart attack. The losswas devastating for thefamily, both emotionallyand financially.
“My family was dis-traught and in disbelief atour new reality,” said Gra-dy. “The months followinghis passing were tough formy whole family. It has puta large burden on mymom, who works harderthan anyone I know to pro-vide for my family.”
On top of dealing withlosing his biggest rolemodel, Grady’s dreams ofattending college alsowere in doubt – until heearned the Evans Scholar-ship.
Grady, from Cincinnati,was among a group of stu-dents from Ohio and Mich-igan who interviewed forthe Chick Evans CaddieScholarship – a full, four-year housing and tuitioncollege scholarshipawarded to golf caddies –on Dec. 4 at SylvaniaCountry Club near Toledo.Eighteen, including Gra-dy, were awarded thescholarship and will begincollege next fall.
“Receiving the EvansScholarship has been oneof the greatest blessings ofmy life,” said Grady, a sen-ior at Moeller High Schoolwho was awarded thescholarship to Miami Uni-versity. “I have dreamt ofreceiving this honor sinceI began caddying at HydePark Country Club. I knowthis will help me achieve asuccessful future.”
Evans Scholars are cho-sen based on a strong cad-die record, academics, fi-nancial need and outstand-ing character. The scholar-ship is valued at more than$80,000 over four years.Selected students will at-tend a school where theFoundation owns and oper-ates an Evans ScholarshipHouse, including OhioState University and Mi-ami University.
The Ohio selectionmeeting was the third of
more than a dozen meet-ings the Western Golf As-sociation will hold acrossthe country throughMarch, with more scholar-ships to be awarded.
The WGA has adminis-tered the Chick EvansScholarship Programthrough the Evans Schol-ars Foundation since 1930.One of golf’s favorite char-ities, it is among the na-tion’s largest privatelyfunded scholarship pro-grams.
“Based on their excel-lence in the classroom andtheir service to theirschools and communities,there is little doubt thatthese young men andwomen have earned thislife-changing opportuni-ty,” said John Kaczkowski,President and CEO of theWGA.
Currently, 870 caddiesare enrolled in colleges asEvans Scholars, and morethan 10,000 caddies havegraduated as Evans Schol-ars since the program wasfounded by famed Chi-cago amateur golferCharles “Chick” Evans Jr.
“The selection processfor Evans Scholars is ex-tensive and very demand-ing,” said Joe Desch, leadWGA Director in Ohio andan Evans Alum. “Only thecandidates with the high-est qualifications who ex-perience significant finan-cial need are awarded Ev-ans Scholarships. All 18 ofour new Ohio Evans Schol-ars have demonstrated ex-cellence as caddies, stu-dents and active partici-pants in their schools andcommunities.”
Tri-State scholarshipwinners are: Adam Cooper(Walnut Hills/Hyde ParkCountry Club/Miami), Jo-seph Ernst (Harrison/Clo-vernook CC/Ohio State),Samuel Good (Oak Hills/Western Hills CC/OhioState), Jacob Grugen(Kings/Kenwood CC/OhioState), Robert Heywood(Roger Bacon/LosantivilleCC/ Ohio State), GradyQuinn (Moeller/HydePark CC/Miami), and Ste-phen Tonnis (St. Xavier,Clovernook CC, OhioState).

— On a court normally re-served for spin moves andswing passes, gymnastsand teams from 17 south-west Ohio high schoolspirouetted and swungfrom the uneven bars aspart of the Forest HillsFlip Fest.
For teams such as Tur-pin and Anderson, thisparticular event showedthem what improvementscan be made with the ma-jority of the season stillremaining. The “Gym-skins” finished in fifthplace overall and Spar-tans’ head coach GailMaundrell said “it was notone of our best meets.”
Mason took the topspot in the event.
Anderson’s senior cap-tain Emily Caggianoplaced in the vault, beam,bars and was fourth in theall-around competition.Anderson head coach Sta-cey Bailey also added thatshe was happy with theperformances of juniorLauren Coons and seniorTara Crosley.
“I‘m very pleased withhow we did,” Bailey said.“It’s not always easy toperform in front of this
many of your peers thisearly in the season.”
She added that every-body on the team had highpoints, but said therewere things that neededto improve.
Coach Maundrell canagree that there is plentyto improve upon as theseason progresses.
“This was our secondmeet of the season and we
scored four points lowerthan our first meet,” shesaid. “Some our girls hadbeen sick all week andperformed without muchpractice. We’re glad it’sgoing to be January whenwe come back.”
Still, the Spartansturned in some perfor-mances they could be hap-py with.
Junior Haley Witherell
placed second on the floorexercise, seventh in theall-around, ninth on vaultand 10th on the bars. Brit-tany Gardner placedeighth on the beam.

Every day, mail is de-livered to all nine schoolsin the Forest Hills SchoolDistrict by Bert Phillips,the “district messenger.”While it is his job to deliv-er the mail, the messen-ger also has his own mes-
sage.Phillips,
a Vietnamveteran,was cho-senthrough anapplica-tion proc-ess to
serve as a guardian onthe Tri-State’s HonorFlight, a program thatworks to fly veterans toWashington, D.C. to visitthe memorials dedicatedto their service and sacri-fices. The trips occur atno cost to the veterans.
To accompany the vet-erans, the program en-lists guardians who areresponsible for assistingveterans with flightpreparation, ensuringboarding passes and IDsare available, helpingthem through securityand getting on the plane,distributing Honor FlightNetwork T-shirts andmuch more. From themoment the Honor Flightveterans begin their jour-ney to the time they re-turn home, guardians en-sure that every veteranhas a safe, memorableand rewarding experi-ence – all at the guard-ian’s personal expense.
Goal-oriented by na-
ture and compelled toserve as a guardian dueto a respect for elders in-stilled by his mother,Phillips accompanied an83-year-old World War IIveteran on the HonorFlight. Standing amongthe 72 veterans andguardians on his flight,he was full of emotion asthe group received awarm send-off from alarge crowd of Tri-statecitizens showing grati-tude for the veterans andtheir sacrifices.
“It was overwhelm-ing,” Phillips said.“There was a touchingceremony with the fold-ing of the flag. We evenreceived priority ticket-ing; they really rolled outthe red carpet.
“Sometimes I wonderwhy I was lucky enoughto live through Vietnam. Iam grateful for everyday. My life is busy and Ilove it,” continued the 68-year-old who enjoysworking out, riding mo-torcycles and flying re-mote-controlled air-planes. “But, I have feltthat there was a discon-nect between the genera-tions of veterans and theyounger generation.Thankfully, many of to-day’s students haven’thad to attend a funeral ofa loved one lost to war.But this is why the veter-ans’ programs and sup-port projects the ForestHills School District con-ducts are extremely im-portant.”
Due to programs likeHonor Flight and districtinitiatives, Phillips isstarting to see a change;when the Honor Flightreturned, the crowd to
welcome them home waslarger than the crowdthat bid them farewell. Italso consisted of peoplefrom all demographicsand ages.
“You used to never seethat,” commented Phil-lips, who also said strang-ers now stop and shakehis hand for his service.“People seem to be show-
ing more gratitude to-ward veterans, thereseems to be more patrio-tism developing. There ishope in that.”
