FIRE PREVENTIONWEEK B1

Residents will have an oppor-tunity to get rid of unwanted orexpired medications through anationwide program that safelyand anonymously disposes ofpills and medicated patches.

Wyoming will participate inthe nationwide Drug Take BackDay, which allows communitymembers to drop off the medi-cine Oct. 29, from10 a.m. to 2 p.m.at the Police Department, 600Grove Ave.

Police officers will accept themedications, in their originalcontainers, through the programsponsored by the Drug Enforce-ment Administration, along withlocal police forces.

Police Chief Gary Baldauf re-minded residents that it's ananonymous program that allowsresidents to clear out expired, un-used and unwanted drugs.

Sharonville offers a drop-offoption that's available every day,around the clock.

The police department recent-ly received a drug drop boxthrough a grant program spon-sored by The National Associa-tion of Drug Diversion Investiga-tors (NADDI) and Endo Pharma-ceuticals, at no cost to Sharon-ville.

The drop box program is de-signed to make it easier for resi-dents to clear out old or unwantedmedications safely and anony-mously.

"Every day drugs remain in (aresident's) home makes them apotential target for abuse," NAD-DI reported on its website.

The Sharonville box, whichlooks like a white mail box, is lo-

cated in the police departmentlobby, 10900 Reading Road.

Medication can be droppedinto the box just as a letter wouldbe inserted into a public mail box.

Designated officers empty thecontents through a locked door inthe lower portion of the box.

To receive the box, the police

department had to fulfill severalrequirements:

» The box must be located in-side a law enforcement facilityand secured tightly to either thefloor or wall, preferably withinview of law enforcement person-nel.

The Sharonville box is bolted

to the floor, and is in the front lob-by, which is equipped with a cam-era, and is in sight of police per-sonnel.

» Officials must check the boxdaily, and empty if a deposit ismade. The drugs must be logged.

» The box must be clearlymarked for prescription drugs inpill or patch form only. No nee-dles or liquids should be deposit-ed.

» Law enforcement must dis-pose of the medications properly.

Sharonville will contact theDrug Enforcement Agency forpick ups, and that agency will de-stroy the drugs through a con-trolled burn.

Sharonville Det. Mark Dudle-son headed the project, which isin its third week.

He encouraged residents toparticipate.

"Prescription drug abuse is aserious problem across the Unit-ed States and unused medicationin the household may contributeto growing rates of prescriptiondrug abuse among Americans,particularly teenagers," Dudle-son said in a news release. "Themedicine cabinet of friends andfamily provide a steady supply ofmedications to inquisitive teens.

"Every day 2,500 youth age 12to 17 abuse a pain reliever for thevery first time. More teens abuseprescription drugs than any illic-it drug except marijuana. In 2008,more than 2.1 million teens ages12 to 17 reported abusing pre-scription drugs. Among 12- and13-year-olds, prescription drugsare the drug of choice.

"Because these medicationsare so available and because somany teens and parents errone-ously believe that they are saferto misuse than illegal streetdrugs, teens who wouldn’t nor-mally 'use drugs' might abuseprescription drugs."

two issues on the ballot.“If voters pass this issue,

the city has the ability to goout and receive bids fromelectrical (and natural gas)generation suppliers,”Springdale City Adminis-trator Derrick Parham saidafter city council passedtwo ordinances to place theissues on the ballot.

It would be an opt-outprogram, which means thatall residents would auto-matically be part of the pro-gram unless they took ac-tion to withdraw.

“Homes that choose toremain in the program willbe part of the process whenwe go out and find the lowerand best bidder,” Parhamsaid after the vote.

Glendale and Wyominghave passed similar ballot

issues in the past couple ofyears.

Wyoming voters ap-proved aggregation in No-

Springdale residentswill decide whether the citywill shop for a supplier ofnatural gas and electricitywhentheyvoteontwoballotissues on Nov. 8.

City Council paved theway on June1, when it votedunanimously to place the

vember 2008, and Glendalehas participated since itsballot issues were passed inNovember 2009.

Glendale officials an-nounced Oct. 14 that the vil-lage had negotiated a pricefor natural gas that’s10 per-cent lower than residentspaid in 2011.

The lower price of $5.58per1,000cubicfeetwill takeeffect in January.

“That means that resi-dentswillrealizeabouta$12per month savings duringthe upcoming winter heat-ing months from what theypaid this year,” Glendale’sadministration said in anews release.

Sharonville residentswon’t have the opportunityto choose whether theywant the city to participate

in gas and electric aggrega-tion.

The city didn’t get thetwo-third vote from CityCouncil that was needed toput gas and electric aggre-gation issues on the Novem-ber ballot this year.

The Aug. 9 vote broughtfour votes in favor, andthree opposed.

In all communitieswhere gas and electric ag-gregation is passed, DukeEnergy would remain theprovider of services, andcustomers would still callDuke in case of outages orother gas and electric prob-lems.

Billing also continues togo through Duke.

WYOMING — The cityand school district are walk-ing a path that officials hopewill help improve students'health and well-being.

Residents, school repre-sentatives and city staff areworking together to create atravel plan, which would al-low students to walk or ridetheir bicycles to school, in-stead of riding a bus or driv-ing with parents each day.

Safe Routes To Schoolsprograms are designed toimprove students health byenabling them and encour-aging them to walk and ridetheir bikes to school.

To implement the plan,the route to school wouldhave to be safe, and sincesome areas of the city don'thave sidewalks, that'swhere the school travelteam started.

Tim Castro, an engineerwith Kleingers and Asso-ciates, presented the plan tocity council Oct. 17.

With council support, theteam is hoping to obtain afederal grant that wouldprovide funding for the pro-ject.

Castro explained that thegrant could bring up to$500,000 for infrastructure

work, which would includesidewalks.

It also could pay up to$100,000 for non-infrastruc-ture, which would includeencouragement programs,Castro said.

The sidewalks would beadded to Compton Road,though details of that pro-ject would follow additionalsurveys if funding is ob-tained.

Castro said he hopes tosubmit a plan to the Ohio De-

partment of Transportationby late November

Wyoming Superinten-dent Susan Lang said theschool district is pleased tocollaborate with the city onthe project.

"Working together, wewill develop ideas to encour-age and promote more stu-dent engagement in activetransportation to and fromschool," Lang said.

"The recent Walk toSchool Day for our primary

and middle school studentswas an important first stepin promoting this concept toWyoming parents and chil-dren.

"The School Travel Planwill ultimately lead to thedevelopment of a communi-ty-wide sustained effort toencourage more of thesekinds of healthy activitiesfor children," she said, "andto provide safer routes forthem to use while biking orwalking.

Sept. 23 began a three-day celebration of “135Years of Families Worship-ping God.”

The banner on Mt. ZionMissionary Baptist Churchin Glendale said so and thusit was. A fish fry that Fri-day and Family Fun Day onSaturday were a prelude to

Sundaymorningservice anddinner Sept.25.

Thebeautifullydesignedprogrampresentedat the Sun-day servicebegan witha messagefrom Mount

Zion’s pastor, Kendall A.Logan.

“We have come this farby faith leaning on theLord. Trusting in His HolyWord. He has NEVERfailed us.”

The Rev. Wallace Shel-ton, pastor of Zion BaptistChurch of Cincinnatispearheaded the sixthchurch founded in Glen-dale as a mission of ZionBaptist. Rev. Elder Banks,Mr. and Mrs. Moses Loganand Mr. and Mrs. Fosterwere also present at thishistory-making meeting.

An overflowing throngcame to honor, not only thelong history of Mt. Zion, butalso the descendants ofthose who made it possible.Their ancestors migratedfrom many places to workhard and make new livesfor their families. With in-genuity, strong hands anddetermination to earn anhonest living, they usedwhatever talents and trea-sure they possessed to con-tribute to the support of Mt.Zion.

Special recognition wasgiven to the oldest familiesof Mt. Zion: Flint and EthelBickerstaff; Ivey and MaryCollins; Charles and AnnieHall; Manzie and CarleeHoyles; Rufus and AmandaJones; Green and MettaMorgan; William and Mag-gie Parrish; John and LillerRadney; Sam and Ada Tur-

ner; Edward and CatherineWashington; Benjamin andHattie Williams; John andMinnie Williams. Margue-rite Fields, great-greatcousin of founder Rev. Wal-lace Shelton also attended.

Mt. Zion Glendale wasoriginally at 35 Coral Ave-nue, where fire destroyedmost of the church recordsin the early 1900s. A newchurch was completely re-built in1916, under the lead-ership of Rev. D.C. Ross.By 196, Rev. R.L. Waldrobegan a building fund for anew structure at 40 CoralAve. An educational wingwas added in 1982. TheRichard L. Waldrop Li-brary contains more than5,000 Christian books.

Rev. Eugene Sebastianreceived a capital improve-ment grant from the Wil-liam Proctor Fund to builda garage and storage facil-ity, resurface the parkinglots and remodel the par-sonage.

Pastor Kendall A. Loganbecame Mt. Zion’s leader in2002 and continues tospearhead milestones - or-ganizing evangelism class-es and offering a radiobroadcast on Tuesdaymornings. His missionstatement is, “BecomingDisciples to Make Disci-ples”.

Members of the Prince-ton student military or-ganization are planning afundraiser to offset thecost of a trip to a Navalbase in the spring.

The NJROTC unit willsell crafts, as well asPrinceton water bottles,Viking car stickers andstadium pads.

The sale is 9 a.m. to 4p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, atPrinceton High School.

Lt. Cmdr. (Retired)Russell Brockway said thetrip for NJROTC cadetswill be a first-time experi-ence for most of the stu-dents.

“The benefit of courseis to expose the cadets tonaval ships,” he said, “asnearly all cadets have nev-er seen a Navy ship orsubmarine, nor have theyeven seen the ocean.”

Without the fundraiser,families would have to pay$800 for the weeklong tripto Norfolk, Va., overspring break.

The high cost has whit-tled the participants toabout 40 of Princeton’s 130cadets. Those studentswill participate in thefundraising efforts.

The trip is part of a mil-itary directive.

“We have to go to a mil-itary base once a year,” ac-cording to Brian Vasvary,hospital corpsman firstclass.

Though the studentshave to opportunity to vis-

it Wright Patterson AirForce Base near Dayton,“we’re a Navy unit,” hepointed out.

Cadets at Princetonstudy naval science, andparticipate in a colorguard, various communityand school events, an aca-demic team and othercompetitions, according toAmy Hesselbrock, whoseson, Darian, is a cadet.

Hesselbrock is organiz-ing the fundraiser throughthe NJROTC booster or-ganization.

Hesselbrock said theprogram benefits studentsin several ways.

“They learn leadershipand organization,” shesaid, “and they learn howto march properly in themilitary.

“They make up theirown routines for drills,”Hesselbrock said, “andlearn to work as a group.

“They’re learning uni-ty, and put forth the effortto be the best.”

1. What are your qual-ifications or strengths forthe seat you are seeking?

2. What goals do youhave for the school boardyou would represent ifelected?

Sandy Leach1. My qualifications/

strengths: Current Prince-

ton board member. Con-stant voice, advocating forexcellence in all of ourschools. I provide a broadperspective in decision

making. Iam a life-time resi-dent ofPrinceton,alumni(’80), par-ent (Matt &Todd) PHSgraduates,my hus-

band, Bill, is a teacher, Iam a sourcing leader atGE Aviation, and I’m aU.C. graduate (account-ing).

transparent informationto all stakeholders to im-prove school culture andclimate.

Bob Maine1. I have a deep seeded

passion for the Princetonschool district. My pastfour years as a member ofthe board have onlyserved to magnify this

passion.With threechildren inthe districtand a 2011graduate, Iam verymuch intouch withthe realityof what is

going on in the schools.Further, my experiencesas a principal engineer atProcter & Gamble and mytraining in finance lay asolid foundation for ensur-

ing prudent managementof district finances.

2. My goals for the dis-trict are quite simple, in-sure the best possible edu-cation for our students atthe best value to the tax-payer. Included in this iscontinued improvement inacademic performance,constant vigilance onspending, and quality con-struction of middle schooland high school on timeand on budget.

WYOMING — It was clearto the judges in the secondannual competition.

Wyoming has the best-tasting water in the state.

Four judges selectedWyoming from among17 mu-nicipalities in Ohio who sub-mitted samples to the statesection of the American Wa-ter Works Association (AW-WA).

Judges made their deci-sions based on water clarity,taste and smell, according toCliff Shrive, who chaired thecompetition.

Wyoming Works WaterDirector Mike Lippert isproud of the designation.

“Wyoming has a greatsource for our water, theMillcreek aquifer,” Lippertsaid. “The water plant isstate of the art.”

The plant treats nearly 1million gallons of water ev-ery day, for drinking.

The city also runs a limesoftening water treatmentplant.

“Being a small utility,Wyoming water is alwaysfresh,” Lippert said. “Ourwater is consistently coldand refreshing.”

Good enough to serve to

customers, according toDale Hipsley, who owns HalfDay Cafe at Springfield Pikeand Wyoming Avenue.

Besides serving it at thetable, he also uses it to pre-pare the food he serves at therestaurant.

Wyoming City Councilmade a toast to good taste atits Oct. 17 meeting, recogniz-ing members of the city's Wa-ter Works Department.

A resolution, passedunanimously, honored em-ployees Clay Evans, JimKoch, Charlie Holtz and Ga-ry Dick, lauded the four for"their talent, expertise anddedication."

The Princeton communityhas praised a keeper of peaceand order with its Dream Keep-er award for efforts above andbeyond his job at PrincetonCommunity Middle School.

Derrick Deyamport, knownas “Double D” to the students,monitors the hallways at themiddle school, making sure thewalkway glut between classesdoesn’t turn in to chaos.

To many at the school, how-ever, he has become a resourcein times of confusion or stress.

“Double D” has made an im-pact on the kids at the middleschool, according to one ofthem.

Adam Schwarber, an eighth-grader, helped to present theaward during the Board of Edu-cation meeting Sept. 12.

“No matter how hard, mad

or confused a student is, he’salways there for them,” Adamsaid.

“He always takes the time tounderstand them,” he said ofDouble D. “And he’s so optimis-tic, it makes you feel betterwhen you talk to him.”

Deyamport looked to the fu-ture.

“They aren’t always going tobe kids,” he said. “Someday,they’re going to be adults, andthey’re going to remember howyou treated them.”

Princeton High School’s mu-sic program is singing a newtune as outside performancesare scheduled this season atMatthews Auditorium.

Along with student musicals,the school is showcasing outsidetalent to draw the community tothe facility.

“Even though we are dealingwith two fewer on staff thisyear, we have not cut program-ming at all,” said Bob Monroe,who runs the music departmentat Princeton High School.

“Our teachers are still doingtheir usual great job,” he said,“but this year is a little bit dif-ferent.

Still on the calendar are thetypical programs presentedeach year, such as the holidayconcert, beginning student per-formances and the VeteransDay program, as well as the an-nual musical.

This year, students will havean opportunity to perform withprofessionals, as a Beatles trib-ute band, “The Newbies,” takesthe stage.

Members of the Princetonsymphonic orchestra will per-form as the backup band.

“This will give the kids achance to dip into music that’spretty neat,” Monroe said. “And

they will get to see what profes-sional musicians do.”

Among the outside perfor-mances on the calendar is folkmusic performer Kyle Carey,who will stop in Sharonville dur-ing her first national tour.

“This doesn’t involve ourkids, but it attracts people inthat genre of music,” Monroesaid of the Oct. 22 show.

On Nov. 18 and 19, illusionistPhil Dalton will make an appear-ance.

“Every year,” Monroe said,“it’s a little bit bigger show.”

Then, on Jan. 14, Elvis will beback in the building, with a trib-ute show that includes auditori-um manager Don Freeman as El-vis, with students as backupsingers and musical perform-ers.

All of the shows will benefitthe school district and the musicdepartment, helping offset thecosts of production and perfor-mances.

“Ultimately, the students re-ceive the financial benefit, andthe community gets the oppor-tunity to see some good stuff,”Monroe said.

“It’s great that we are able todo all of this,” Freeman said ofthe loaded schedule. “I look at usas trendsetters, not followers.”

Junior forward Nathan Meisn-er missed a bundle of games latein the year and still was amongthe league’s offensive players.Thomas was looking forward tohis postseason return and sawMeisner find the net against Fin-neytown.

“He was having a phenomenalseason, and then he suffered ahigh ankle sprain against SevenHills,” Thomas said. “We missed

WYOMING — The WyomingCowboys boys soccer teamcoached by Steve Thomas wentinto the Division II sectionals at10-3-3 and as the No. 2 seed.Ahead of them was Indian Hill atNo. 1, just behind was Finney-town at No. 3.

Welcome to the extended ver-sion of the Cincinnati HillsLeague.

“People are wondering why inthe world we all went to the samebracket,” Thomas said. “In allhonesty, Dayton Carroll was 16-0.I think we all wanted to avoidthem and at least give us a chanceto get to districts. We didn’t wantto face Carroll ... if we could avoidit.”

The result of that decision putthe Cowboys in an opening roundgame with Finneytown, a teamWyoming defeated Oct. 4, 3-0.

“They’re a team that reallygets after it on the attack,” Thom-as said prior to the Oct. 22 con-test.

Once again, Wyoming shut outthe Wildcats, winning big 6-0. Sixdifferent Cowboys scored andkeeper Harrison Glover had sixsaves.

“Sometimes you go into agame and things kind of fall yourway,” Thomas said.

The win puts Wyoming in anOct. 25 match with a familiar foe(Indian Hill) at a familiar place(Madeira High School).

Helping the Cowboys have asuccessful season offensivelyhas been senior Clifford Ngong.He got the season off on the rightfoot by finding the net threetimes against Roger Bacon in theWyoming opener.

“He’s kind of come into hisown, and I’m real happy for him,”Thomas said. “Starting the sea-son, I wasn’t quite sure howthings would work out for him.He really developed and turnedinto a good scorer for us.”

Wyoming’s scoring is usuallyspread around and a lot of that isthanks to senior center midfield-er Jason DeWitt.

“He’s one of our team cap-

him. He’s a big kid and has bigpresence up top.”

On defense, senior Nick Kam-phaushasbeenthebiggestdiffer-ence-maker on team. He’s been a“shutdown” player in the back.On Oct. 13, he kept the city’s lead-ing scorer, Max Pescovitz of Wal-nut Hills, without a goal.

“Nick really is a midfielder,”Thomas said. “Over the summer,I talked to him about moving todefense as a center back. He said,‘Coach, I’ll play wherever youwant me to play.’ He just has donea phenomenal job. Any timethere’s a tough attacker, we usu-

ally put Nick on him.”In goal, the Cowboys went

with their “double-headed” at-tack of Harrison Glover for ahalf, and then Evan Handler forpart of the season. However. inju-ry changed that philosophy latein the year.

“We were doing that and thenEvan Handler got injured,”Thomas said. “We’ve prettymuch gone with Harrison Glov-er.”

Handler is back if needed, andthe Cowboys are back, hoping toexceed last year’s showing ofthree tournament games.

TOURNAMENTHIGHLIGHTS

SHARONVILLE — The Prince-ton High School water polo teamleft it all in the pool.

The squad didn’t advance tothe sport’s state tournament, butthe Vikings shook up the regionaltournament by knocking off thestate’s No.1team.

The win over Upper Arlingtonalong with an earlier win over St.Xavier,puttheVikingswithinonematch of advancing out of thesouth regional, which was playedat Mason High School, Oct.14-15.

The 16-11 win over Upper Ar-lington was the crowning victoryfor the school’s program, accord-ing to coach Chad Packer.

“I couldn’t be more proud ofour boys,” he said. “To come into atournament where nobody ex-pected you to do anything andbeat the No. 1 team in the state, itwas a signature win for our pro-gram.”

The Vikings’ run ended duringa rematch against the central-

Ohio school during the tourna-ment’s second day, as the squadlost13-5.

Despite the setback, Packersaid it was special to be a part ofthe squad’s day-one success.

As the Vikings were in themidst of their tournament quest,teams the Vikings have battled all

season long, such as Sycamoreand Milford, were cheering forthe Vikings to continue their win-ning ways.

Packer believes the display ofcamaraderie made for a memora-ble first day of the tournament.

“It was a cool thing to be a partof Friday night,” he said. “I thinkeverybody just appreciated oureffort.”

Big contributions throughoutthe tournament came from juniorDavid Spraul, as well as seniors,suchasCharlieChen,ErikSpraul,Vincent Mazzone, Nick Walz andDan Morgan.

Morgan, who plays goal, wasinstrumental in the Vikings’ suc-cess.

According to Packer, Morganmade big blocks throughout thetournament.

“When your team (has five de-fenders against six guys on of-fense), as a coach, you expect theotherteamtoscoreandwhentheydon’t, it deflates their team a littleand Dan was able to do that to theother teams,” Packer said.

Walz’s output on offense also

played a big factor for the Vik-ings.

“Hereallygeneratedalotofef-fort on our offense...and his over-all dedication and love for thegame,wereabigpartofour(tour-nament) success,” Packer said.

AndwhilePacker’steamdidn’tend up in the state tournament,the head coach believes theteam’s success at regionals vali-dates his squad’s efforts through-out the season.

Packer believes the Vikingsmight play younger players andtry various strategies throughoutthe season.

Packer said this team philoso-phy is geared toward making theteam a contender at regionals.

“People feel like Princeton isnot going to be a threat, but at theend of the season, we are alwaysthere,” he said. “Those wins vali-date us.

Bob, a parent of four, one withspecial challenges as well, is a car-ing and dependable father, hus-band and community leader whoseparticipation with Princeton CitySchools is immeasurable. If he isnot attending a school event (whichis rare), his home is always open to

the kids of Princeton and their fam-ilies. He has connected with kids ofvarious ages, abilities, socioeco-nomic backgrounds, genders andraces.

Bob also works hard to extendhimself to the Princeton Communi-ty of teachers, parents and admin-istrators, bridging interests whenhe can.

As a board member with youngkids, I can be assured that Bob willbe involved in the school as both aboard member and parent for

years to come. It is important tohave someone who is personallyconnected with our kids representtheir best interests!

Princeton works hard to be thebest it can be ... with Bob Maine as aboard member I can be assured ev-ery child will have a representedvoice

Going forward, we needcontinued academic innova-tion … our children need abroader base of 21st centuryskills. We need best teachingmethods and technology. Ifdone well, this will providebetter education and lowercost.

Strong fiscal managementand operational discipline hasreduced our cost by almost$2,300 per student. We haveinstalled best in class insur-ance, energy management andtransportation systems. Wehave made difficult decisionsto reduce administrative posi-tions by 45 percent and re-duce overall employment by15 percent. We have re-negoti-ated our employee contractswith no pay increases andhealth care benefit reduc-

I am delighted to ask votersto re-elect me to the PrincetonBoard of Education. My firstfour years have been inspir-ing, challenging and produc-tive. My 30 years at P&G has

given me use-ful leadership,business andproblem solv-ing skills toserve.

Academicsand excel-lence is “JobOne”: Manythought thatPrincetoncould never berated excel-

lent. The last three years fourof our elementary schools, ourmiddle school, our high schooland the Princeton districthave been rated excellent.This has not been by accident.The deliberate systemicschool improvement process

tions.Going forward, we need to

continue reducing costs by in-novating and applying bestapproaches. We have recentlyestablished finance andbenchmarking teams withcommunity members includ-ed, to systematize our efforts.

Finally, I am proud ofPrinceton voters for approv-ing our $120 million middle-high school learning complex.I am delighted we are on timeand budget. The cost to tax-payers is 18 percent lowerthan expected, thanks to ef-forts to keep our AA+ bondrating and agility to capitalizeon low interest rates in thebond markets.

There is more hard workthe next four years at Prince-ton … I am up to it, and ask foryour vote Nov. 8.

revenues are down greatly. In2007 we were slightly over $21million, but in 2011 the project-ed revenues were to be around$15.3 million. Obviously, thecity had to develop some cost-containment measures. Fortu-nately, 19 full-time positionswill be vacant by the end of thisyear and there will be as manyas 34 more employees eligiblefor retirement in the next 5years.

The current situation is notas bad as it appears. Between2008 and 2009 the city lost ap-proximately 400,000 squarefeet of retail space with Wal-Mart being the major loss.However, 2010 and 2011 showeda gain of 570,000 square feet.In that same timeframe thecity experienced a loss of300,000 square feet of office

Prior to becoming an elect-ed official Iwas employedby GeneralElectric - nu-clear divisionuntil the pro-ject was can-celled.

With de-grees fromboth the Uni-versity of Flor-ida and theUniversity ofCincinnati I

became involved in secondaryeducation. I taught with Cin-cinnati Public Schools andPrinceton City Schools as amath instructor. I retired fromthat position in 1995.

As difficult as it is to be-lieve, Springdale’s general

space with General Electricbeing the main loss. Again in2010 and 2011 the city experi-enced a gain of over 352,000square feet of office space.

Our economy is now morediverse. Our local businessesin Springdale now include suchvaried names as CincinnatiBell Systems, First Financial,Avon (450 jobs will remain),G.E. Aviation Systems, andSheakley Ins. Group.

As more companies locatehere the revenues will in-crease and many of the cost-containment cuts can be re-stored. It is going to take sometime but we are moving in theright direction. Springdale isindeed a city of opportunity.

Oct. 19 questionsFour judges selected Wyo-

ming from among 17 municipal-ities in Ohio who submitted sam-ples to the state section of theAmerican Water Works Associa-tion (AWWA). Do you agree thatWyoming’s water is among thebest? Why or why not?

No responses.What was the best Halloween

costume you ever wore? Whatmade it so good?

“The best Halloween costumeI've ever worn is, hands down, myJawa costume. It was Halloween1978. Star Wars was the BIG hit inthe theaters the previous year(May 1977). My mom made ourcostumes! I was a Jawa; mybrothers were C3PO and DarthVader; and, our friend up thestreet was Chewbacca. I can hon-estly say ‘I remember it like itwas yesterday.’ I can. And I'll re-member that one as long as I'm aStar Wars fan, which will be for-ever and a day.”

J.K.

“Best Halloween costumeever? That would be the one Iwore at a neighbor's party about15-20 years ago. It was a simpleblack bathrobe that looked likethe ones professional boxerswear into the ring. Across theback, I had affixed golden letterswhich said simply ‘Iron Mike.’ Ibrought a pair of boxing gloves tofinish it off. It was a big hit!”

Bill B.

“Back in the ’80s, when mykids were small, I built a woodenframe on top of the frame of analuminum backpack that had ahead like ball on top. I thendraped the whole thing in blackcloth to become a 10' tall blackspecter, very scary.”

F.S.D.

“Not really a costume, but wewould put painting equipment

props next to the port-o-lets atone local haunted house, and aspeaker behind one of them wait-ing for the perfect victim to enterone. Then we would wait a minuteor so, and calmly tell the occu-pant to ‘hurry up, we are trying topaint the basement and they areblocking the light!’”

O.H.R.

“In college I went to a party asa graffiti ghost - cut eyeholes in aplain white sheet, took somemarkers with me, and asked oth-er guests to ‘write on my wall. Itwas a great costume because ev-eryone had such fun writingthings and then reading what oth-ers wrote.

“I remember it because 40-something years later I still havethat sheet. We take it to outdoorconcerts and events, and sit on it.It still draws attention and com-ments.”

J.R.B.

“The best costume I ever worewas actually two costumes. Wehad a lady in our neighborhoodwho gave out a dime for Hallow-een. Back in the early ’60s. thiswas a real haul. We would wearone costume and get our dime andlater we would come back with adifferent costume later and getanother dime. That is one of mybest Halloween memories.”

NEXT QUESTIONSIf Princeton High School’s foot-ball team makes the playoffs,how far can the Vikings ad-vance?How will you remember CarlLindner. Did you have any per-sonal dealings with him?

Every week The Tri-County Press asksreaders a question they can reply to viae-mail. Send your answers [email protected] Chatroom in the subject line.

Just a few short years ago, wewere busy writing personal let-ters, typing office correspon-dence and making copies throughcarbon paper. When we neededinformation, we reached for theencyclopedia or the phone book.

Then, along came the Internet,email and elec-tronic commu-nication.When’s the lasttime you hand-wrote a letter?Do you even re-member type-writers and car-bon paper?

One of thefew remainingholdouts to elec-

tronic communication lies in themedical profession. Many medi-cal care providers still jot downinformation on paper “charts” –

you know, the ones waiting foryour doctor in the bin outside theexam room. While more andmore medical professionals areembracing the electronic age,health care is still woefully be-hind the curve.

Adoption of health informa-tion technology – the sooner thebetter – will inevitably improvepatient care. Not only will it im-prove your care, but it will putyou in a much better position tomanage your care and communi-cate with medical professionalsto take action to improve yourquality of life.

The advantages to electronichealth records (EHRs) are end-less for patients and care provid-ers. For instance, imagine the re-duced paperwork to fill out for of-fice visits if all of your recordswere maintained electronically.Any crucial information or no-

tices your doctor needed to seewould pop up on your record. Ac-curate and fast electronic pre-scriptions could be sent directlyto the pharmacy. These are just afew of the immediate benefits toEHRs.

As we dig a little deeper, imag-ine health and prescription dos-ing alerts sent directly to yourmobile phone. Think about all ofthe information that would beavailable at your fingertips whenyou travel, visit a specialist or areadmitted to a hospital. All of yourmedical history, lab reports, diag-noses, test results, immuniza-tions, allergies, medications andradiological images could beavailable to a practitioner withthe flick of a switch.

What about, heaven forbid, ifyou are involved in an accidentand are unable to communicatewith first responders or emer-

gency teams. Your EHR couldprovide instantaneous, accurateand lifesaving information to res-cuers fighting to save your life.

Let’s talk about some of thebenefits of EHRs to the healthcare profession. Researcherscould quickly look at volumes ofdata to pinpoint and control dis-ease outbreaks or to work towardvaccines and ultimately, cures.EHRs can track your medica-tions, giving health care provid-ers a clear and accurate view ofyour entire health profile. Withthis more complete understand-ing of your health history, doctorscan diagnose health problemsand recommend the best coursesof prevention and treatment. Andeven more important, a completeview of your health recordswould significantly reduce thepossibility of medical error.

EHRs allow you to better com-

municate with your health careprovider. Access to these recordsmakes you an involved memberof your health care team and pro-vides you with a much greater de-gree of control over your care.

What about privacy and safetyof information? These are validconcerns, of course. Data con-tained in electronic systems isheavily secured, protected andbacked up – certainly as com-pared to paper documents. For in-stance, if you are in an area af-fected by a natural disaster, yourhealth information remainsreadily available through recov-ery techniques. Electronic pro-tections and sharing protocolsare highly sophisticated andgreatly reduce the opportunityfor human error or malfeasance.

Soup not thick enough?Start adding instantmashed potato flakes a lit-tle at a time, stirring and al-lowing time for them tothicken.

Boxed made betterBlueberry muffins with

lemon glaze. My sister,Madelyn Zimmerman,brought blueberry muffinsto a luncheon I had. Theyhad a tart/sweet lemonglaze that made everyonewant seconds.

Madelyn told me: “It’s abox mix but I added lemonzest to the muffin batterand made a glaze with con-fectioners’ sugar and lem-on juice. I let the muffinscool 5 minutes and thenbrushed the glaze on.”

A new school year meansactivity is humming and thewinds of change are blowingin the St. Xavier High SchoolX-Travaganza office

Cathy Cionni becomesthe latest director of X-Tra-vaganza, officially assumingthe role Oct. 3. She followsSara Schindler who servedtwo years in the position fol-lowing the 15-year tenure ofthe late Margo Locaputo.

Cionni was introduced asthe new director Sept. 14 atthe annual X-TravaganzaKick-off Mass and receptionat the school.

“I’m thrilled,” Cionnisaid. “I’ve always felt like X-Travaganza was a homewithin a home for me at St. X.To have the chance to cometo work for the school thathas meant so much for myentire family is a great op-portunity.”

Indeed, the Cionni familyhas a long tradition with St.X. Husband Tony is a 1974graduate. The couple sentfour sons – Joe (2000), Doug(2002), Chris (2006) and Ste-ven (2010) – to the school.

Cathy and Tony served asgeneral chairs for X-Trava-ganza 2008: Broadway X-Citement. She spent the pasttwo years as auction directorat Seton High School

“I think that’s going to beone of Cathy’s realstrengths,” said Ralph Nar-dini (1977), vice presidentfor development. “Sheknows X-Travaganza inside

and out, from the perspec-tive of a mom, a wife, an at-tendee, a committee mem-ber, a chair and somebodywho has run an auction.

“Cathy brings a broadview to what is one of our sig-nature events at the school.Not only does X-Travaganzaraise a lot of money, it’s oneof the best ways we buildcommunity. I look forward

to seeing how Cathy willbuild on 38 years of traditionand help us make it evenmore successful.”

Two of Cionni’s chief al-lies will be the new generalchairs for X-Travaganza2012, Dr. David and SarahKlein.

The Kleins were co-chairs for the record-setting2011 X-Travaganza GrandRaffle and made the com-mitment to serve as generalchairs over the summer.

“Sarah brings an amazinglevel of energy to the chair-man’s role,” Nardini said.“She and David have somegreat ideas and plans. Morethan anything with theKleins, you can expect aquality event that’s going tobe a lot of fun. A lot.”

X-Travaganza 2012 is setfor March 10 with FirstNight scheduled for March9. Go to the X-Travaganzapages under the SupportingSt. X tab at www.stxavie-r.org for a complete calen-dar of X-Trav events, includ-ing gift-gather parties, on-line auction and more.

Lights flickered on, thenoff.

Shadowy figuresroamed the restaurant.

Among the 17 ghostsnoted in a single afternoonat Glendale’s Iron Horse,two still take their seats atthe bar, more than 100years after their deaths.

Legend has it thatJames Donovan and Ed-ward Mitchel frequentedthe Iron Horse in the late1800s.

Friends tried to get thetwo “drunken criminals” toleave the restaurant onesummer night, “but theywere too tough for them.”

The pair were arrestedfor “wrangling, quarrelingand fighting.”

That was June 29, 1895.A century later, the

seats they occupied “be-come incredibly hot” andthings are mysteriouslymoved around the restau-rant.

That Halloween lore, aswell as other haunting sto-ries are part of a display atthe Glendale HeritagePreservation Museum in-side the Glendale Depot.

The historical exhibitshows the festive side ofthe holiday, as well.

A dinner table, set withHalloween-inspired dishesand party favors, reflectsthe holiday spirit of theearly 1900s.

“They weren’t into thescary stuff,” said FionaBlainy, who organized theexhibit.

Parties included activ-ities such as bobbing forapples and storytelling,“but it wasn’t gruesome,”she said.

The Halloween exhibitruns through October. Themuseum, in Glendale’s Vil-lage Square, is open everyThursday and Saturday,from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

MCBRIDE/THE COMMUNITY PRESSAs a part of their SilverAward, Girl Scout CadetteTroop 41476 decided thisyear at the Wyoming FallFestival to have a “drive”instead of just a booth sell-ing something.

After researching localneeds, they found the siteHannah’s Socks. This is acharity started by a youngToledo, Ohio, girl whowanted to give her ownsocks to a homeless person.

The Troop did not workalone, Girl Scout Troop

41966 needed to complete astep towards bridging toCadettes by shadowing anolder troop and asked ifthey could work with ourCadette Troop. So the twotroops together held thesock drive.

The girls set a goal of100 pair of socks as this isthe 100 anniversary of GirlScouts. They overachievedour expectations by morethan two-and-a-half times.They had the 100 pairs ofsocks donated by 2 p.m. and

the girls kept selling. As aresult of their scouring thecrowds and not beingafraid to ask for donations,the troops will be donatinga total of 250 pairs of socksto Hannah’s Socks.

As leaders, we are allvery proud of the girls fortheir hard work and deter-mination in reaching, thenexceeding, the goals theyset. The girls are thrilled toknow they will help keep250 pairs of feet warm thiswinter.

Ohio has 8 million driv-ers, 121,000 miles of road-way and 600,000 deer.

Trying to predict whenand where a deer and mo-torist will meet is an im-possible task, but driverswho understand how deerbehave are more likely toavoid a crash.

The Ohio Departmentof Transportation warnsall Ohio drivers that au-tumn brings thousands ofcollisions between vehi-cles and deer, so drivewith caution.

“Fewer daylight hours,combined with the in-creased movement of deerdue to mating and huntingseasons, increase the riskof collisions,” ODOT Di-rector Jerry Wray said. In2010, there were 23,201deer-vehicle crashes state-wide with 1,063 people in-jured and four peoplekilled.

November saw themost crashes with 5,012,or 167 per day. Becausemany deer-vehicle colli-sions go unreported to po-lice and local authorities,the actual number ofcrashes throughout Ohiomay be as high as 60,000each year.

Last year, the areas

with the highest numberof deer-vehicle crasheswere urban areas: theMansfield area (RichlandCounty) with 648 crashes,the Canton area (StarkCounty) with 630 and theCincinnati area (HamiltonCounty) with 620. ODOTadvises motorists to usethese driving tips to helpavoid collisions with deer:

• Watch for deer-cross-ing signs and drive withextreme caution, especial-ly in the posted areas

• If you see one deernear the road, expect thatothers will follow

• Watch for deer espe-cially at dawn and aftersunset. About 20 percentof these crashes occur inearly morning, while morethan half occur between 5p.m. and midnight

• Always wear seatbelts and drive at safe,sensible speeds for roadconditions

If a vehicle strikes adeer, motorists should re-port the crash by callinglocal law enforcement, thesheriff’s department, theOhio State Highway Patrolor the Ohio Department ofNatural Resources – evenif there is no damage tothe motorist’s vehicle.

BLUE ASH — – A manaccused of deliberatelykilling a Canada goose byrunning over it with a caroutside a Blue Ash bowl-ing alley has received a 30-day suspended jail sen-tence and a $10 fine.

Hamilton County Muni-cipal Court Judge HeatherRussell also placed 22-year-old Christopher Bak-er of Sharonville on com-munity control for sixmonths and ordered him topay $104 to be on electron-ic monitoring for 60 of thedays of community con-trol, court records show.

It was all part of a pleabargain accepted by thejudge Aug. 30, in which theHamilton County Prose-cuting Attorney’s officeagreed to amend thecharge against Bakerfrom cruelty to animals todisorderly conduct in ex-change for Baker’s guiltyplea.

Although both chargesare misdemeanors, crueltyto animals – which BlueAsh police originallycharged Baker with – car-ries a maximum penalty of90 days in jail and a $750fine and disorderly con-duct carries a maximum

penalty of 30 days in jailand a $250 fine.

“The Blue Ash PoliceDepartment respects thedecisions of the HamiltonCounty Municipal Courtand does not render opi-nions on its findings orsentences,” Blue Ash Po-lice Capt. James Schaffersaid today.

Witnesses to the deathof the goose the evening ofApril 17 outside CrossgateLanes on Hunt Road con-tacted Blue Ash policewith the name of Bakerand the license number ofhis car.

The witnesses said theyrecognized Baker from abowling league.

“The suspect did inten-tionally run over a goosetwice in the parking lot ofCrossgate Lanes and causeits death,” a subsequentpolice report said.

The report noted thatpolice seized “(Canada)geese hair and feathers” atthe scene to use as evi-dence.
