University of Cincinnati students from a Spanish service-learning class ventured into the Cincinnati neighborhood of East Price Hill Sunday not only to
sharpen their Spanish skills, but to assist with the health of a growing Hispanic population.
The students, members of the Spanish for Health and Social Services class at UC, participated as volunteers for the Santa Maria
Community Services annual health fair at the Price Hill Recreation Center.
The fair, just one of the activities celebrating Minority Health Month, offered free services ranging from blood pressure, dental and vision screenings to mammograms for Spanish- and English-speaking individuals, many who have trouble communicating with regular hospital personnel due to the language barrier.
Student volunteers performed multiple activities during the fair, such as translating, registration and assisting at the vision and hearing tables.
“This course is designed to provide undergraduate students who have some ability to communicate in Spanish with the opportunity to improve the access of Spanish speaking families to various health services,” said Ligia Gomez, a field service professor in the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences romance language department and instructor of the course. “The idea is to develop vocabulary and communication skills while serving the community.”
Gomez has paired the class with four different health facilities: University Hospital, Bethesda North Hospital, The Healing Center and Santa Maria Community Services, where students work four hours per week.
Not only do the students work with these organizations, they maintain a reflexive journal documenting their volunteer experiences and must deliver finished work to one of the organizations, ranging from developing a website in Spanish, an educational curriculum or recruiting other individuals for a nonprofit organization, Gomez said. “This is a unique opportunity for the students to be involved with the community, to develop social responsibility, and to be engaged in a way that can change their own lives,” Gomez said. “It adds meaning and relevance to undergraduate courses that can otherwise seem disconnected from the real world.”
One volunteer seemed right at home while speaking Spanish to individuals waiting for hearing

The students of the University of Cincinnati have spoken. Alan Hagerty and Michael Linger have been elected president and vice president, respectively, of Undergraduate Student Government for the 2011-2012 academic year.
The elections results were announced in a standing-room only session of SGA Wednesday evening.
Hagerty and Linger accrued 56 percent of the student vote, defeating Slate 73: Bryant Shannon and Lane Hart.
“It’s amazing,” said president-elect Alan Hagerty regarding the victory and Slate 41’s campaign. “We worked really hard the past few months getting ready for this. I’m just at a loss for words.”
Hart was gracious in defeat, thanking those who assisted in Slate 73’s campaign and praising Hagerty and Linger.
“I think it was a great race,” Hart said. “I think it was one of the best races we’ve seen in the last couple of years. I’m just honored to have had such good competition.”
In addition to the election of the 2011-12 SGA president and vice president, eight at-large senators were elected.
Incumbents Loren Willson, Phil Dinovo and Derek Volmering were the leading vote recipients, followed by newly elected Sens. Yvonne Agomuo, Joe Blizzard, NaKiima Reid, Sean Farris and Kyle Richardson.

After four months of uncertainty, the fate of Keller’s IGA grocery store in Clifton might be decided within one month.
Steve Goessling, the owner of three IGA groceries in the tri-state area, has signed a contract with Keller’s owners to purchase the store, a Clifton
mainstay since 1939.Goessling is the owner of IGA
groceries in Reading and Georgetown, Ohio, and Warsaw, Ky.
Keller’s closed its doors in January, in part due to owners John Vierling and Charles Dugger owing more than $220,000 in back taxes to the state.
A citizen’s group, Friends of Keller’s, hosted a town hall meeting in February, where they collected more than 1,500 signatures for a petition to Gov. John Kasich, asking to allow the Ohio Department of Taxation to work with Vierling and Dugger in setting up a
plan for repayment of the taxes.Cincinnati City Council voted
unanimously to support the petition, which was taken to Kasich in Columbus. The state didn’t budge, requesting that Vierling and Dugger pay the entire sum to reopen.
“Not being able to overcome the lump sum payment, [Vierling] and [Dugger] entertained various offers and have signed a sale agreement to bring a full service IGA grocery to Ludlow,” said Marilyn Hyland, chair

The “EcoEasy Button,” designed by students in the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, won the international Staples EcoEasy Challenge.
The fourth-year students beat out 15 other students from four universities around the world in the final round of the contest earlier this month. The goal of the contest was to design environmentally friendly office supplies.
The team named “Silver Monkeys,” comprised of Alex Pellegrino, Kyle Koch, James Matchett and Brandon Leedy, designed a surge protector and a portfolio binder for the contest.

UC students demonstrated in downtown Cincinnati across from the Great American Ballpark Wednesday afternoon to voice their opposition against recent legislation proposed by Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown.
An environmental protection group called 350.org, a reference to the EPA’s standard for safe part per million levels of carbon dioxide in the air, protested a bill amendment sponsored by Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Sen. Sherrod Brown that would effectively suspend the EPA’s ability to enforce greenhouse gas regulation for two years.
The bill was voted down April 7 by a 7-to-93 vote. “We’re at the ballpark to tell Sen. Brown
that he needs to step up to the plate to support the Clean Air Act as a vehicle for the growth of clean energy in the U.S.,” said Keally DeWitt, a communications graduate student at UC who has joined the environmental group earlier this year. “He’s been a good supporter in the past, but he stuck out on this one. Progressive senators have the ability to lead the charge on this rather than backing off from it.
“The response has been pretty good, people walking by have been interacting with us, smiling applauding, honking, far better than what I expected actually,” DeWitt said.
The group yelled chants and pro-environmental slogan to the patrons of the Arizona, Cincinnati baseball game.

The University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music’s Concert Orchestra was joined by the CCM Chorale and the Xavier University Concert Choir in an annual choral concert in Corbett Auditorium Saturday.
The evening featured works by two of the most lauded Germanic composers in the repertory: Ludwig van Beethoven and Gustav Mahler. The pair can be viewed as bookends of the Romantic period, with Beethoven serving as a basis and, at times, ominous giant to Mahler, an ominous figure in his own right. Their music continues to ignite audiences, particularly in works that combine orchestral and choral mediums.
The first half of the program was
compiled of two of Beethoven’s pieces directed by Brett Scott, and began with “Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt,” Op. 112, written in 1815. The work began timidly, as did the performing forces — at times too timidly and seemingly unsure — particularly in the higher female voices, which gave way to unclear entrances. However, as the dynamics and more sturdy orchestral parts came into focus, so did confidence, clarity and pitch. The more gentle opening eventually gave way to the burst of what is a more traditionally Beethoven texture: full and robust.
The evening continued with Beethoven’s “Fantasy in C Minor,” Op. 80 from 1808, which featured Zachary Lopes at the piano along with the choral forces and orchestra. The piano, heavily featured in the first
movement, was especially enjoyable during moments of imitation. The pianist and orchestra were also wonderfully attuned to each other and played with a high degree of sensitivity. Clarinet players Andrew Stefaniak and Sarah Yaksic were particularly outstanding in their short duet. The chorus and soloists only made an entrance well into the work; all of the soloists performed admirably and with attention to detail.
Following intermission, Annunziata Tomaro, musical director of the Concert Orchestra, took the podium to lead Mahler’s first masterwork, “Das klagende Lied,” written in 1880. Mahler’s prowess is evident not only in the setting, but also in the writing of the text, a complex tale of sorrow and decay.
Hallmarks of Mahler’s sound abound, from a dark and morose gloom to a most cheerful and almost childlike lightness. These varying moods were well-executed, particularly by woodwind soloists. Flutist Shauna Thompson was especially commendable. Vocal soloists Holly Cameron, Jill Phillips and Daniel Ross also navigated the murky waters of Mahler’s music with great care for the changing textures.
The orchestral calendar continues with the CCM Philharmonia’s performance of Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra April 28 at 8 p.m. in Corbett Auditorium. Also, be sure to get tickets in advance as the opera program presents Poulenc’s opera “Dialogues of the Carmelites” May 12-15.

When TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts decided to start the American Film Company, he had one goal in mind: to produce fun, entertaining and, most importantly, historically accurate films based on seminal events from America’s past.
The company’s first project is “The Conspirator,” the story of Mary Surratt, a woman accused of conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. The company, which hired historians to check its screenplays for historical accuracy, hired Hollywood legend Robert Redford to direct. Redford is best known for his roles in front of the camera in such classics as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and “The Sting,” but he is also an Academy Award-nominated director for both “Quiz Show” and “Ordinary People.”
“The Conspirator” is not nearly as exciting or thrilling as the title may insinuate. In fact, the film is a courtroom drama, pitting the young and an initially unwilling attorney Fred Aiken (James McAvoy) against the clearly biased and revenge-seeking military commission trying the case of Surratt (Robin Wright Penn). She is accused of conspiring not only in the assassination of the Lincoln,
but also the attempts on Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward’s lives as well.
At its core, the film attempts to examine ideas of freedom and human rights while surrounding it with the interesting story of a Southern woman who ran a boarding house in Washington, D.C. This was where John Wilkes Booth and his gang of conspirators met to plan the assassination.
Redford and McAvoy do a great job of expressing the sentiment of the Constitution and everything for which it stands through their work in the film. The blood-thirsty Yankees, seeking revenge on Surratt’s son John — the only conspirator to escape — were blinded by the opportunity to get their woman in Surratt, but Aiken, more and more convinced of his client’s innocence, made sure she was afforded the same opportunity as any American citizen.
The performances from the ensemble cast, including Kevin Kline, Tom Wilkinson, Stephen Root, Evan Rachel Wood and Justin Long, are solid across the board, but McAvoy and Wright Penn carry the proceedings. It cannot be assured that everything in the film is historically spot

Hip-hop heavyweights will be hitting Over-the-Rhine in full force this Friday.
Spoken-word and hip-hop lyricists like Cincinnati staple and journalist Ill Poetic, the Illustrious Illogic, L.E. for the Uncool and legendary rap producer J. Rawls will be infiltrating The Drinkery OTR during “The Cincy Stop” of their Ohio Takeover Tour.
The musical alchemist J. Rawls — who earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Business in 1997 — has worked with the likes of Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Dose One, The 9th Wonder and The Beastie Boys. The caliber of his beats is probably illegal in multiple states and his music conveys a deep understanding of rap, soul, neo-soul, blues, jazz and of his own astounding capabilities. His beats are in a cool, crisp, established class of their own. No filler, no gimmick — only raw talent refined into pure, laid-back perfection.
Ill Poetic is the multifaceted CityBeat columnist and musical mastermind who
crafted records like “Illumination” and “The World is Ours,” methodical mash-up albums combining the gully rap of Joe Budden and smooth down-tempo creations of Portishead as well as a record combining the visionary southern hip-hop of Outkast with the unmistakable industrial rock of Nine Inch Nails.
Ill Poetic released the 2009 collaborative album “Diabolical Fun” with wordsmith Illogic who will also grace the stage. His records “Got Lyrics?” and “Write to Death” Volumes 1 and 2 and “One Bar Left,” only begin to give an idea of the mastery of (not-so) underground spoken-word hip-hop. He wields a skillful delivery that is accompanied by beats so solid they could stand on their own.
L.E. for the Uncool is one of the most unique and identifiable artists in recent history. With an unmistakable high-pitched voice, the Columbus native has made a quick ascent with records like “Anti-Parachute Theory,” “The Measure” and the

Grammy Award-winning emcee takes the stage at Miami University
see conspirator | 8
perry simpson | TnR COnTRIBUTOR
Lupe Fiasco’s take on the American rap show was as unconventional as the emcee’s rhymes during his hip-hop performance at Miami University’s Millett Hall Tuesday.
Where most rappers would hover over sectors of the stage for a few moments at a time, Fiasco dashed, jumped, kicked and stomped his way around his guest instrumentalists.
Instead of rhythmic palm pressing or head bobbing, the crowd was a mass of flailing limbs and hoarse chants of song lyrics mingled with cries of “Lupe, Lupe!” Between
the head banging and scattered pockets of mosh, it was easy to forget that this was a rap concert — and
the crowd wasn’t just a congregation of bored college students looking for a reason to drink.
The onset of familiar beats would have fans reciting lyrics before Fiasco himself.
The Grammy Award-winning emcee, both a commercial success and a cult icon among many hip-hop enthusiasts,
managed to perform his counterculture rap hits with vigor typical of a flush-faced Chester Bennington or a drum blasting Travis Barker. The rock star vibe articulated through the 3,000 Lupe fans in the stands.
The show began as if it were continuing from an intermission. Fiasco swaggered to the edge of the stage, sweat already pooling in the creases of his brow. Seating
arrangements were forgotten as the middle portion of the crowd surged toward the front row. By the end of the second song — “Solar Midnite” from the “New Moon” soundtrack — the arena was a sea of motion.
Fiasco performed the elusive track “Scream” telling fans, “This is probably the first and last time you’ll hear this song.” The emcee treated the audience to favorites like “Superstar” and “Go Go Gadget Flow.”
Fiasco faked an exit only to return to the stage with “The Show Goes On.” Security had to address a few fans when the initial melody of “Daydreamin’ ” sounded on, as the fans were bodily throttling each other in anticipation of the mellow tune that won Lupe his Grammy. The energy of the venue was tangible during the performance of “Words I Never Said,” despite the mixed reception of the “L.A.S.E.R.S.” album by music critics and Lupe himself.
While the performance was well worth the $30, it fell a little short. The placement of the stage ensured that most of the audience would be in the stands, far from the artist. While this is expected in a stadium concert, only half of the stadium was used for the show. Had management moved the stage toward the rear, all of the audience could have fit on the floor.
Fellow Atlantic Records artist MDMA accompanied Lupe onstage for much of the concert as well. With MDMA came the heavily used Auto-Tuning and synthesized sounds of the Top-40 radio hits, a major source of the negative criticism “L.A.S.E.R.S.” has received.
MDMA sung parts early in the show, but after an awkward (and seemingly unnoticed) attempt at live Auto-Tuning, the singer’s voice was partially replaced by

Standout Jamaican midfielder Ashani Walker signed the latest national letter of intent Tuesday to play for the University of Cincinnati men’s soccer team in 2011.
“We are delighted to have a player of [Walker’s] caliber join our program,” said head coach Hylton Dayes. “He is one of the top youth players coming out of Jamaica this year and has had success at every level, including high school and club.”
The 5-foot-4-inch midfielder earned MVP honors at the Digicel Manning Cup Football Competition, which pits Jamaican schools against each other. The UC recruit led Jamaica College to a trio of championships: the Manning Cup, the Walker Cup and the All-Island Olivier Shield.
The midfielder scored the winning goal in a 3-0 decision in the Manning Cup and netted twice in the 3-1 win in the Walker Cup Final. Dayes said he plans on inserting Walker into an attacking position.
“[Walker] is best suited to play as an attacking midfielder but can also play wide,” Dayes
said. “Ashani is an excellent leader and, coupled with his international playing experience, will be a valuable addition to our program.”
Walker participated with Jamaica in the regional CONCACAF qualifiers for U-20 FIFA World Cup in Colombia. He made appearances against Guatemala and Honduras. In 2010, he practiced with the senior national team on two separate occasions, but has yet to earn an international appearance.
The 2011 recruiting class includes midfielder Emmanuel Appiah, forward Chris Davis, forward Cole DeNormandie, midfielder Will Diebold, midfielder Matt Remaley and goalkeeper Taylor Hafling.
Appiah is a four-year letter winner from Westerville, Ohio and a CollegeSoccerNews.com top-150 recruit. Davis led Gahanna Lincoln High School to a 2009 Ohio state championship and a No. 2 national ranking.
DeNormandie is a two-time NSCAA all-American from Lincoln, Mass. He tallied 64 career goals and 24 assists as a three-time all-state selection.
Diebold was a first-team all-state player at Jesuit College Prep in Coppell, Texas. As a junior, he helped his team rise to an ESPN No.1 national ranking, undefeated season and state title.
Hafling was a four-year letter winner, named team MVP
twice and was recognized with all-state honors as a senior. Remaley was a two-year starter for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo.
The Bearcats made their inaugural appearance in the 2010 Big East Championship semifinals this past season.

Celtics set to capture 18th title
If your image of basketball is still tainted 16 days after witnessing the NCAA men’s championship fiasco, it’s time to give the sport another chance with a real postseason.
The NBA playoffs have begun with a lot of high-caliber play and upstart upsets. In the West, No. 8 seed Memphis shocked top-seeded San Antonio with a game-one win.
If that’s not enough, New Orleans defeated No. 2 Los Angles at the storied Staples Center on the same night.
Following one of the most relevant regular seasons in recent memory, the first few games of the 2011 playoffs have revealed that the postseason is an entirely different animal.
The Chicago Bulls claimed the best record in the league at 62-20 to earn a home-court advantage in the NBA Finals — should the Bulls advance.
To tip off the Eastern Conference action, Chi-Town faced a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter against Indiana — the lone team in the field with a losing record.
That was when this year’s likely MVP Derrick Rose took over, scoring seven points in the final minutes and feeding Kyle Korver for an open 3-pointer to complete the comeback win.
Game two had an eerie feeling of déjà vu. Rose soared again in the final minutes with eight points and found Korver for a clutch bucket from distance to erase another fourth-quarter deficit before rolling to a win.
Are the Bulls this year’s Cleveland Cavaliers? Another No. 1 seed headed for a notorious second-round exit?
Rose, much like LeBron James in his five postseason campaigns with the Cavs, will have to carry his squad in order to have any success. He does not have the supporting cast Miami, Orlando and Boston possess.
Orlando got past an early hiccup against Atlanta in the first game of the series with a win in the second to even up the series and will likely await the Bulls in the second round.
The Celtics and Heat drew each other on the same side of the bracket and will likely meet prior to conference finals.
The Celtics contain the best fourfold in the league: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen. They have all won a championship and came close to another in last season’s playoffs.
Miami, on the other hand, has three incompatible superstars and a group of no-names who lack the cohesiveness of the Celtics.
If all goes according to plan, the Celtics will represent the East in the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year.
The Western Conference is a wide-open race, especially after the top-two teams fell in their first games.
No. 3 Dallas makes their 11th straight appearance in the playoffs. The Mavericks have had a dubious existence in the postseason, making one finals appearance while becoming the first team to lose a series to an eight seed in 2007.
The Oklahoma City and Denver first-round series is must-see television.
The Thunder boast the two most exciting and talented young players in the league — Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook — who each netted more than 30 points apiece in a game-one win.
Despite losing in their first game, the Lakers have a relatively easy path to the conference finals as Kobe Bryant searches for his sixth ring.
Many analysts have speculated that this will be Phi Jackson’s swan song, and as the defending champs, the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy goes through them.
The Thunder took L.A. to six games in the first round in 2010 and have the legs to oust an aging Spurs squad in the conference semifinals. For the second straight year, the Lakers will quiet the Thunder, this time in the conference finals.
In the NBA Finals, I see the Celtics hanging on to the lead in game seven to ink this squad in the franchise’s record book as a two-time winner.

Moving up the sports ladder is never an easy task. Whether it’s from high school to college or from college to the pros, the
transition requires an enormous amount of work and training.
And for Bearcats freshman outfielder Justin Glass, the work has paid off.
Unlike the majority of freshman athletes at the University of Cincinnati, Glass has made an
immediate impact in his sport: baseball. In his first outing in a Bearcats uniform,
the 6-foot-2-inch Fort Wayne, Ind., native went four-of-five from the plate, recording one RBI and scoring two runs.
And in the next two games, Glass added two more hits, one run and two RBIs to finish the Big East/Big Ten Challenge hitting a team-high .545 average — numbers that earned him a spot on the Big East/Big Ten tournament team.
“I expected to have success [at UC],” Glass says. “I just didn’t know how much it would be, and I didn’t exactly know how much time I would be playing. I’m a little surprised how things are going, but it doesn’t surprise me that all this hard work I’ve put in is paying off.”
His collegiate success might not be surprising taking his senior season in high school into account. In his final year at Carroll High School, Glass set

You’re not a freshman anymore. You’ve ditched the lanyards, the meal plans and are finally ready to shed the last layer of your Bearkitten cocoon and emerge as a sophisticated sophomore butterfly. What is the last thing to go? Residence halls.
But to do this, you must find a new off-campus pad. But it can be hard to find your footing in a strange neighborhood, especially if you aren’t from Cincinnati. Personally, I hadn’t the faintest idea how to begin, but, never fear, because with a few simple tips, finding off-campus housing near the University of Cincinnati will be easier than getting lost in the Design Architecture Art and Planning building.
There are quite a few options for students eligible to live outside the residence halls. During my sophomore year, I lived with three roommates in University Park Apartments,
located directly next to campus on Calhoun Street. This was a really nice option for us, because we wanted to be close to class, but still not live in a residence hall. The utilities, cable and wireless Internet were included in the
rent, and the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment was spacey. Plus, having a full kitchen made mealtime much simpler.
There are a couple of options similar to UPA — UC itself offers suite-style housing in Campus
Recreation Center Housing, Schneider and Turner halls, and Stratford Heights.
Or, for the apartment with the perkiest perks, try Sterling McMillan, formerly McMillan Manor, located a few minutes off campus on E. McMillan Street. Their website advertises everything from free coffee to free tanning to a Wii gaming room. Oh, and a pool.
If Sterling McMillan is too far for you to tread and UPA doesn’t appeal to you either, there’s still plenty of off-campus housing options. Make a list of features your dream dwelling will include, then figure out which type of housing works best for you.
After my second year of college, I knew I wanted my own room, but the cheapest UPA apartment with a single bedroom starts at a monthly $839 per person, which is definitely out of my price range. So my roommate Carolyn and I went in search of off-campus housing.

Leasing agents are people too
My job as a leasing agent began two summers ago when I first moved to Clifton. I was looking to work close to home and school, and the apartment complex I moved into needed help. I knew nothing of the leasing industry, but decided to jump in anyway.
Let me assure you, the leasing industry is not for everyone. Being service oriented is the most important quality to have if you want to succeed. The industry is just as unpredictable as my hair when I wake up each morning.
The majority of my job entails meeting and greeting many types of customers each day and showing them the property and apartments we have available on our grounds.
I have to be familiar with our complex — the many floor plans and prices of our studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. I have to be familiar with our pet policy and the deposit required for animals. I have to understand the terms of the lease and consequences of breaking a lease. Most of all, I need to know how to be personable and think on my feet.
If someone fills out an application and puts down a deposit for an apartment, there is a 48-hour window to process and qualify each applicant. Within that time, I make sure the applicant goes through an income, credit and criminal background check. Once that window is closed — if the applicant qualifies — I prepare the lease and other necessary paperwork needed for each soon-to-be-resident’s file.
From there, each apartment needs to go through a qualifying and processing window of its own. Each apartment needs its walls painted, its carpets steam cleaned, and its pipes, faucets and electrical outlets checked before the resident can get the keys. I work with our staff and contractors to make sure all of this happens for the resident to be happy.
My job doesn’t stop at showing, renting and readying apartments. I perform an array of different jobs on a day-to-day basis.
Sometimes there is a language barrier, as some of our residents (and prospective residents) speak little English if any at all. I work with the electricity and cable/Internet companies to set them up with service upon moving in.
I handle resident concerns for nearly 400 apartments on our property and take maintenance requests for issues ranging from leaks to squeaky doors. I prepare lease renewals for current residents, file paperwork and take care of lease buyouts and sublets.
Acting as liaison between the rental office and management office, I make sure our system is up to date and accurate, in addition to collecting and depositing money into accounts on a daily or as-needed basis. I also make and answer phone calls as well as perform marketing outreach to increase incoming traffic and prospective residents.
I follow the number of rentals, available units and units on notice, as I need to know exactly what state the property will be in at the end and beginning of each month. I track the property’s slippage: the difference between the expected amount of rent that’s been paid and what we received.
I keep tabs on packages received from FedEx, UPS and the postal service and inform residents of received parcels when needed.
Sometimes, I deal with difficult issues like elevators shutting down, irate residents, insect problems or not even knowing the right answer to an important question.
In the past two years as a leasing agent, I’ve learned more than I have in all other fields combined. I have worked my ass off to understand the industry, our property and try to become familiar with each resident.
Two years ago, I would have told you that leasing offices are unorganized and have no idea what they’re doing. Since then, I’ve learned to be tolerant and patient with my own landlords because I understand what the job is like and what a day in the life of a leasing agent entails.
When you get frustrated with your landlord, I hope you do the same.

Did your landlord inform you of the dangers of lead paint before moving into your new rental property?
“Congress passed the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also known as Title X, to protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil,” according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
A majority of housing around the University of Cincinnati was built before the turn of the 20th century, meaning lead paint was almost certainly used at some point.
“...this law directed HUD and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to require the disclosure of known information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before the sale or lease of most housing built before 1978,” according to HUD.
Lead can be ingested through inhalation or swallowing of lead dust particles. These can be brought about by sanding or chipping away at walls that have been painted with lead paint.
While the risks of lead are still being studied, there have been numerous reports of reproductive problems (in both men and women), high blood pressure and hypertension, nerve disorders, memory and concentration problems, along with muscle and joint pain, according to the EPA.
If you did not receive any information on the health effects of lead paint when you bought or leased pre-1978 housing, contact the HUD at 1-800-424-5323.
After informing the proper authorities to ensure your landlord is operating within EPA and HUD regulations, please contact The News Record by e-mailing Sean Peters at [email protected] to share any information pertaining to lead paint.

NEWSRECORD.ORG8three of the school’s single-season records, batting .510 from the plate while slamming 53 hits and 16 home runs.
“Carrying over from my high school season last year and working hard over the summer and lifting and running and doing extra hitting and stuff — I was preparing myself the best I could to play college baseball,” Glass says.
Following his Bearcats debut, Glass went into a hitting slump midway through the season that was capped by a three-game series against Louisville during which he went 0-for-11 from the plate.
But Glass soon returned to his slugging ways as the Bearcats hosted the third annual Joe Nuxhall Classic at Marge Schott Stadium.
In the team’s first game against cross-town rival Xavier, Glass went from 1-for-3 from the plate with one RBI.
In the tournament’s championship against Wright State, Glass returned to full form, batting 2-for-3 while scoring one run and batting in three more en route to the tournament’s MVP award.
“It was pretty cool, it was a good feeling,” Glass says. “Before the tournament, I was slumping a little bit. Then we faced Louisville, who had some good pitchers that knew how
to pitch me correctly and hit their spot. It was good to come back and get my swing down to get some good hits. Getting the MVP was just the icing on the cake.”
While Glass is having a phenomenal freshman season — currently batting .304 with a team-high 41 hits and three home runs — he says his goals for his freshman year aren’t related to his stats, but his team as a whole.
“The goal for my freshman year is to win,” Glass says. “We need to keep getting more wins to make the Big East tournament and hopefully make a run. I want to make it to the NCAA tournament this year and, as of now, we need to win some more Big East games to get into the tournament and make a run there.”
Whether the Bearcats reach the NCAA tournament — or even the Big East tournament — this season is uncertain.
But if Glass’ freshman season has taught him anything, it’s what hard work can accomplish — a lesson that will create limitless possibilities for his remaining three years.
“I am a freshman and I’m young,” Glass says. “It’s good to learn now that all the hard work in the offseason and during winter break pays off.”

spot on, but it is obvious that the fimmakers strive for accuracy and that is certainly commendable. In addition, the art design, costumes and sets transported the viewer back to 1865 in a convincing fashion.
As the founding belief of the American Film Company suggests, real life is often more compelling than fiction. In the case of “The Conspirator,” the filmmakers are able to take
the true story of Surratt and Aiken and make an entertaining courtroom drama that is reminiscent of novels like John Grisham’s “A Time to Kill,” which also features a young lawyer defending a man who is most assuredly guilty. The film is neither flashy nor bombastic, but it is real and compelling enough for its two-hour runtime.
Joe Ricketts’ noble quest is off to a strong start with
“The Conspirator,” which features a solid offering from everyone involved. If anything hinders the film, it’s that too much time is spent in the courtroom observing talking heads.
The American Film Company’s next projects include a film about John Brown’s famous raid on Harpers Ferry and Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride. Both are currently in development.
“Paper Rocket,” L.E. is riding the high and giving Ohio a new and interesting face.

of Keller’s. “We applaud [Vierling] and [Dugger] for returning a full-service grocery store to Clifton Business District and we applaud the new owner, Steve Goessling, for seeing the potential of Clifton and the surrounding neighborhoods in supporting our neighborhood grocery store.”
Goessling has plans to renovate Keller’s and make it his flagship store, Hyland said, by not taking customers for granted and concentrating on keeping the store well stocked and providing friendly service.
“Keller’s IGA has been the heart and soul — as well as anchor — of the Clifton Business District,” Hyland said. “We fully anticipate that the new IGA understands that significance and will carry on the tradition.”

and vision screenings.“I’m pretty comfortable doing it,” said
Nathan Tighe, a pre-med student at UC who assisted at the hearing and vision screening. “The truth is, people don’t have access to services if they don’t speak English.”
It is an important service that students are providing through their volunteering, Tighe said, because it allows those who normally wouldn’t receive health care to be treated.
Gomez agrees.“Given the growth of the Hispanic
population in the Greater Cincinnati Area, the agencies, hospitals and clinics are not fully prepared to assume the expenses that are involved in hiring bilingual personnel,” Gomez said. “The number of bilingual professionals here is very limited, and the students help to close this gap.”

successful stories of environmental legislation where it not only has saved hundreds of millions in health-care costs, but it also actually created a lot of jobs for regulating pollution,” said Brian Kunkemoeller, a fourth-year double majoring in biology and environmental studies student and co-president of Leaders for Environmental Awareness and Protection (LEAD). “There has been this notion that letting the EPA regulate greenhouse gases is
going to hurt our economy and that we can’t afford it. What we are here to say today is that we can’t afford to not regulate greenhouse gases.”
In 2006, the World Health Organization estimated more than 2 million premature deaths caused by air pollution every year. In 2010, The California Air Resources Board estimated approximately 9,0000 people die prematurely each year in California from air pollution.

The “Folio” is also made of environmentally friendly materials.

There’s a couple of ways to find leasing companies. The easiest, actually, would be to flip through this issue of The News Record, which is packed with information on leasing companies. Carolyn and I used Google (try “Clifton Cincinnati apartments” or “University of Cincinnati housing”).
It’s also easy to walk around the area to see signs posted on many rentable apartments and houses; riding the Bearcat Transportation System shuttles around neighborhoods is also an option.
Once you find a couple places you’re interested in, schedule a tour and take a look around. But make sure you know what you’re looking for — tours can zoom by and leave you with more questions than answers unless you’re prepared. Take a list of questions and a checklist of things you want — off-street parking, laundry machines and included utilities were at the top of my list.
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find the perfect spot right away. With a little patience and a lot of work, you’ll discover
