SycamoreCommunitySchools acceptsthe first bid forits summerrenovations,which was$10,000 belowits estimate.

Sycamore Township FireDepartment is buying and in-stalling newer, faster and lessexpensive computers in itstrucks.

The new computers, ap-proved by the trustees duringthe March 3 workshop, are Mi-crosoft Surface Pros. These arereplacing nearly 12-year-oldPanasonic Toughbooks, ac-cording to Chief Rob Penny.

There are several benefitsto going with the Microsoft Sur-face Pro, but the cost savings isthe primary benefit, he said.The department is buying thenew computers for $699 eachand brackets for $200 each.These costs are still below the$5,000 per unit Toughbook cost.

“Because they are a Tough-book, they are designed to car-ry out in the field,” Penny said.“You have to pay for that fea-ture. We don’t need that. Thesethings sit in the truck. We don’ttake them out and move themaround. We don’t need anythingthat rugged.”

The new computers willwork with the MDC units thatare in the trucks enabling com-munications between emer-gency personnel and the Ham-ilton County CommunicationsCenter. As the dispatch goesout over the radio, informationis simultaneously sent to theMDC unit in the trucks. Addi-tional information pertinent toan emergency is also relayedvia MDC to the computer.

Another feature the chieflikes about the new computersis that it works with the CAGISFirebird mapping system usedby Hamilton County. CAGISFirebird is a widely used mo-

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot less than

my restaurant qual-ity sheets which Ibought years later.When I use that oldcookie sheet, I findmyself smiling,remembering whenmy boys were littleand they shapedcookie dough intoworms, tanks andbugs to bake on it.That’s a piece of

equipment with a history.Whenever I have a speaking

engagement about food or family, Ilike to ask participants what their

most treasured kitchen item is. Itseems like just about everybodyhas a favorite utensil, pot, or gadg-et. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”,one lady said. Another mentionedrolling pans from grandma. Oneyoung person I mentored trea-sured his dad’s apron: “He worethat apron every time he cookeddinner on the grill. Now I wear it”,he said. So don’t get rid of that wellloved kitchen item when you re-place it with new. Pass it down tokeep the traditions and memoriesgoing.

Mike, a Clermont County read-er, needs a recipe for dairy freerolls that are suitable for diabetics.Here’s a good one. I baked these on

my old cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.

Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M.

remembers this chowder fondly.“Great Scott restaurant made thebest potato, corn and jalapenochowder. I've tried to duplicate itbut it's just not the same. I knowthey have closed but is there anychance you can get the recipe? Itwas one of our families favorites.”

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls too

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls

Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers toachieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprisedmyself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good asmy higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. Thesefreeze well after baking.

Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch,1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.

1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour

Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugarin warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, cream-er, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour ifnecessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn outon floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coattop. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punchdown and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart onsprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus

I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. Ashappens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery andasked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’sthe recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, Ibelieve.

SaladMix together:

4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want

DressingWhisk together:

2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would benice served atop a lettuce leaf.

A publication of

The Indian Hill Board ofEducation owes school districtproperty owners $5,288,071(plus interest) in refunds of theinside millage tax that wasimposed in 2010 without voterconsent.

On Dec. 2, 2014, the OhioSupreme Court unanimouslydeclared the tax illegal afterfive years of litigation by theCommittee for ResponsibleSchool Spending.

The $5,288,071 (plus inter-est) refund due taxpayers, wasdetermined by analyzing thedistrict’s inside millage taxreceipts for 2011-2014.

The total amount illegallycollected by the board overthese four years, significantlyexceeds $6 million when pay-ments from all sources, in-cluding additional subsidiesfrom the Ohio Department ofEducation, are included.

The Hamilton County Audi-tor’s office participated in theanalysis, and has verified theamounts, which have also beenreviewed by a CPA represent-ing the committee.

Following the Ohio SupremeCourt’s December decisionoutlawing the tax, the commit-tee assumed that the next orderof business would be to initiatethe refund process. The com-mittee approached the board toassist in that task.

The board not only rejectedthe offer of working with thecommittee’s legal counsel toexpedite the refund, it hasspecifically opposed return ofthe entire sum illegally col-lected.

Indeed, the board has re-placed its legal counsel andengaged a team of Cleveland-based attorneys, apparentlywith the intent of preventing,or minimizing, taxpayer reim-bursement.

The board has spent at least$208,639 of taxpayer money onlegal fees during its five-yearfight to justify its illegal tax.

The board’s recent hiring ofCleveland counsel will result inthe expenditure of additional

thousands (at$375 per hour)to obstructtaxpayer re-funds.

The issue isbefore theHamiltonCounty Courtof CommonPleas.

During thepast three months, the boardhas sought repeated exten-sions, including the most recentone resulting from the sub-stitution of counsel.

The board has refused thecommittee’s request to seques-ter or escrow the $5,288,071(plus interest). The committeeasserts that these funds belongto taxpayers, not the board.

The committee notes thatthe board knew from the begin-ning that the inside millage taxwas illegal under Ohio statutes.

The board has no need forthe additional funds. The boardhas maintained huge cash sur-pluses for decades. It evenreceives interest on the bal-ances.

Enrollment in the Indian HillSchool District has been in asteady decline, from 2,112 stu-dents in 2008, to 1,802 studentsin 2015. Enrollment is projectedto drop to 1,689 in 2018.

The committee calls on theboard to proceed immediatelywith a full refund of all moneyreceived from the illegal tax.

Five years of delay isenough.

The committee has beenrepresented on a no-fee probono basis, for five years, bythe 1851 Center for Constitu-tional Law. This litigation hasbeen, and continues to be, thelongest running case the centerhas contested.

For more information, emailthe committee at [email protected] the 1851 Center at [email protected].

March 11 questionA bill to allow cities to create

open-container districts muchlike those in New Orleans orMemphis, Tennessee, appearslikely to pass the Ohio Legisla-ture this year, and Cincinnati of-ficials hope the bill becomeslaw by Opening Day, April 6. Isthis a good idea or a bad idea?Why or why not?

“I think it is a good idea ifyou want the open containerdistrict to have the smell offresh urine, with the ownersof establishments needing tobasically hose down allaround their places eachmorning to eliminate the odor.

“I think right now, there isenough opportunity to drink,with enough bars, in closeenough proximity that a per-son can go from one bar to thenext without having to bringtheir alcohol with them.

“I’m not against drinking,but I don’t think anyone thathas been down to any sportingevent or into the OTR VineStreet areas feel that notenough opportunities to drinkare occurring.’

C.S.

“This one surprised me abit. Didn’t know we didn’t al-ready allow open containers inmany parts of Cincinnati.Would not want two of my ad-mired places to get in trouble.Lines of people waiting in thestreet for a table, while enjoy-ing their ‘adult beverages’ atone of them, never seem tohave any conflicts.

“The logic of letting peoplewalk outside at another, toavoid annoying guests andbreaking the law by smokinginside, makes sense to me. I’ma recovering nicotine addict,embarrassed by how 30 yearsago I must have really an-

noyed so many with my habit.As I stood on a street corner inKey West, talking to a uni-formed police officer, whileholding a large ‘adult bever-age’ I inquired about the‘street law’ there. His replywas exactly how I believe itshould be. ‘Are you causingany trouble? Didn’t think so.Guess there is no problem.’”

D.B.

“The Reds now start theOpening Day game at 4:15.They shut off Freedom Wayand Joe Nuxhall Way for thatday. They have three to fourvery large ‘beer trailers’ set-up and 16-ounce plastic bot-tles are sold, one per custom-er for $5. The open containeris controlled within that area.I am not sure the benefit of ex-panding this beyond certainspecial Reds games such asthe All Star game and play-offs. If the local bars are in fa-vor then try it on an experi-mental basis. You can counton folks sneaking their own al-cohol into the area. Go Fig-ure!”

America no longer trustsPresident Obama

The President of the UnitedStates defies the Constitution -even though he swore his alle-giance to the Constitution withhis hand on the Bible.

He refuses to follow the rulesof Constitution by accepting thedivision of governmental powerwith the Executive Branch, theSupreme Court and the twohouses of Congress. He acts likea King and chastises the Su-preme Court for disagreeingwith him . He “disses” the Con-gress with his unilateral execu-tive actions on health care andimmigration...and now he re-fuses to honor “advise and con-sent” with Congress on negotia-tions for international agree-ments/treaties with the terror-ist country of Iran.

We do not trust PresidentObama after hearing him con-stantly lying to all of us for thelast six years - citizens, Sena-tors and Congressmen. Finally,a group of Senators (47) arestanding up to the president’sduplicity in phony negotiations

with Iran concerning the devel-opment and production of nu-clear bombs to destroy Israeland terrorize the world by noti-fying Iran with an “open letter”that Barack Hussein Obamadoes not represent the people ofthe United States and that inter-national treaties and agree-ments must be approved byCongress.

Yes, Mr. President, we are onto you and your agenda. Be-cause of your ignorance ofworld affairs and world historyor your real intent to continuethe ongoing worldwide chaos -America does not trust you. Youare a fool if you do not believethe 40-year continuing chantsfrom Iran “ Death to Israel,Death to America.” The presentnegotiations are a farce.

The Iran dictators believethat Allah, and now with thehelp of Obama, will help thembring on their vision of Arma-geddon with nuclear bombs.The pressure is on Iran to com-plete its bomb before Obama’spresidential term expires.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

States around Ohio (e.g.,Indiana, Michigan and Iowa)have passed right-to-worklaws, but not our state.

In late 2014, Gallup asked1032 voters “...right-to-work…laws…say each work-er has a right to hold his jobin a company...whether hejoins a union or not...if askedto vote on such a law...(would)...you vote for or against it?

A large majority of therespondents, 71 percent, saidthey would vote “for it” (in-cluding 64 percent of Demo-crats, 74 percent of Repub-licans and 77 percent of in-dependents).

In the Ohio Statehouse,republicans control bothchambers of the legislatureand we have a Republicangovernor (term limited). Gov.John Kasich can’t run againso he has “nothing to lose.”

Enacting right-to-worklaws in Ohio should be likeshooting fish in a barrel and ademocrat/union-lead refer-endum to overturn wouldsurely fail.

Likewise, when will theOhio GOP act on abolishingthe Common Core curriculumin our schools? Hard to seethe value of electing Repub-licans to public office in Ohioif they won’t take on the bigissues. What are you waitingfor, Ohio Republicans?

Much worse is the GOP’s

failure to actat the federallevel.

AfterHouse Speak-er JohnBoehner andSenate LeaderMitch McCon-nell foldedlike cheapsuits and

surrendered on PresidentObama’s executive amnestylast week, former Seb. JimDeMint wrote, “…if the GOPwon’t fight on this issue whenwill they fight?” Good ques-tion!

Four of Ohio’s 16 Repub-lican US representatives,including Boehner, voted forthe “clean” Homeland Securi-ty budget that funds thepresident’s illegal executiveamnesty. Other Ohio Repub-lican representatives voting“aye” were: Mike Turner, PatTiberi and Steve Stivers.Happily, and for the record,our area congressmen, SteveChabot and Brad Westrupvoted “nay.”

The amnesty fight seemedlike de’ja vu all over again.Recall, last December, theRepublican House waved thewhite flag and passed the“Cromnibus” bill fundingObamacare for fiscal 2015.The Democrats in the Senate,and President Obama joyfully

agreed! Speaker Boehner andthe House Republicans hadrefused to fight again.

Are the US elected Repub-licans over-matched (beingoutwitted)? Are they timid(afraid to fight)? Or are theydeceivers (conservatives inname only) who will not“walk the talk?”

Do Speaker Boehner, Lead-er McConnell, and the GOP inCongress really support con-servative causes like theyclaim at election time? Arethey fighting for Constitutionrule, conservative principles,and for the separation ofpowers – or not?

Like many Ohio conserva-tives, I contributed to the2014 Senate campaigns inother states. e.g.,like CoryGardner (Colorado) and MikeRounds (South Dakota) tohelp the GOP win control ofthe US Senate. Well, guesswhat? Both of them voted forexecutive amnesty too.

In my opinion, it’s hard toshow much of a return oninvestment when voting GOP.

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy dropped out of theflock of teams still remaining inthe Division III boys’ basketballplayoffs as No. 1-seeded Chami-nade-Julienne edged past themwith a 61-56 victory March 10 atUniversity of Dayton Arena in adistrict title game.

CHCA trailed by as many as12 points in the second half, butfought its way back to make itclose down the stretch.

“That’s what we’ve talkedabout all season; just keep fight-ing,” CHCA coach Andy Keimersaid. “That’s an incredible teamover there that made just a cou-ple more plays than we did. I amextremely proud of our guys forbeing here and expecting tocome here and not just compete,but win a district champion-ship.”

Blake Southerland led CHCAwith 16 points. Will Drosos added15.

Perimeter shooting helpedCHCA keep the game close inthe first half. As a team, CHCAshot 4-for-9 with three of thosecoming from Southerland.

CHCA didn’t have many op-

tions other than to go guard-heavy. Junior center PrinceSammons, who had been a dou-ble-double threat every gamedown the stretch, picked up twoquick fouls and played just fiveminutes in the first half. His pri-mary backup, Kesean Gamblealso struggled with fouls.

CJ took advantage of Sam-mons’ absence, getting deep intothe paint and to the free throwline. The Eagles converted 11 of16 free throws in the first halfalone.

“It really hurt our ability toguard No. 13 (Myo Baxter-Bell)for them,” Keimer said. “We hadto be perfect defensively or hewas going to get some goodlooks. That’s part of the game …I feel bad for Prince that hedidn’t get to experience thisgame. He’ll have to learn from itand come back next year.”

Sammons continued to strug-gle as he opened the third quar-ter with a turnover and his thirdfoul. He eventually fouled outand saw 10 minutes of action.

Things continued to goagainst CHCA in the second half.

LOVELAND — When TaylarHayden of Loveland HighSchool and David Schneider ofMoeller High School go on adate, it’s usually the standardfare of dinner and a movie, or aday in the park.

Sometimes, they go bowl-ing.

That’s when it gets interest-ing.

Two years ago, they met at abowling function betweentheir schools at CrossgateLanes. For the last 16 months orso, they’ve been rollingthrough strikes, spares andlife’s open frames.

At Moeller, the Crusadersstruggled through a 1-17 Great-er Catholic League-South sea-son and were 5-19 overall.Schneider was second on theteam in average at 192 and 17thin the league, but was thebright spot of the Division Idistrict tournament in Beaver-creek with a 665 three-gameseries. The junior became thetop individual qualifier for thestate tournament.

The following day, Haydenrolled a 625 three-games seriesat Beaver-Vu Lanes to qualifyfor the state tournament in herjunior year.

“She listened to my change

in lines,” Loveland coach BradWalker said. “I told her that sheneeded to string strikes if shewanted to advance. She took achance and her composure wasgreat.”

Loveland’s girls finishedthird in the Eastern CincinnatiConference with Hayden hav-ing the third-best average at186. Like her boyfriend, she de-livered in crunch time and wasable to take her game to WayneWebb’s Columbus Bowl.

Their periodic practice ses-sions paid off. “We’re kind ofabout the same,” Hayden said.“We push each other and com-pete against each other. I thinkit’s helped us throughout theseason.”

Added Schneider, “We real-ly give each other a hard timeif we mess up.”

Hayden started bowling inthe sixth grade and has gradu-ally become more serious. Inthis season’s ECC/SWOC Clas-sic she had a monstrous 746three-game series of 255, 267and 224.

DAYTON — Threemonths after losing to Wil-mington High School by15, the Moeller Crusadersbasketball team met upwith the Hurricane againin a Division I district fi-nal at the University ofDayton Arena.

At 17-8, coach CarlKremer found himself inthe very unusual situationof being a postseason un-derdog against the 24-1Hurricane.

Wilmington, featuringsenior Jaevin Cumber-land and junior JarronCumberland, took thefirst quarter lead 12-11.However, the Moeller de-fense shut them down inthe second quarter, hold-ing them to just one bas-ket as the Crusaders led19-14 at the break.

“We have incrediblygood assistant coaches,”Kremer said. “Peoplehave a tough time gettingeasy looks off of us.”

The third stanza sawWilmington break out oftheir scoring slump to tieMoeller at 27, but JaevinCumberland did pick uphis fourth foul, limitinghis involvement until thefinal frame.

The pace picked up inthe fourth quarter withMoeller junior TreyMcBride using his uniqueleaping ability for a keytip dunk and a put-backthat gave Moeller a leadthe Hurricane could nev-er overcome. JarronCumberland did scorewith :27 to go to get within

a basket, but NateGeorgeton added a freethrow late to make for the46-43 final in favor of theCrusaders.

“We really got hit in themouth in the third quar-ter,” Kremer said. “NateGeorgeton and Riley Vossreally made some incred-ible experienced playerplays for us.”

Georgeton was able todribble around and makeit to the charity stripewhere he made seven ofeight on the night. Vosswas part of the defensiveeffort that limited Wil-mington to just 27 percentshooting.

“They certainly didn’tshoot it as well as they didat their place,” Kremerobserved.

Trey McBride ledMoeller with 14 points and12 rebounds, while JarronCumberland had 23 pointsand 10 boards for Wil-mington. McBride’s sky-walking tip-dunk midwaythrough the fourth quar-ter was the key momen-tum shifter for the Cru-saders. The 6-footMcBride soared overplayers 5 inches taller.

“He jumps like anOlympic high jumper,”Kremer said. “He’s just aphenomenal athlete. What

makes him great is he isunpredictable. Treywants to win and he leavesit all out on the floor.”

The Crusaders move tothe regional semifinal atCintas Center on Wednes-day against Springfield,who defeated La Salle 54-41. Moeller also previous-ly lost to Springfield, 74-72 in overtime Jan. 3.

“The one thing atMoeller is you don’t getthe opportunity to play asthe underdog very often,”Kremer said.

The Crusaders havegone from having fivenew starters and lastyear’s center, Nate Fow-ler, out for the season todistrict champions. Whenthey take the floor at Xa-vier March 18, they’ll betwo wins away from astate tournament appear-ance.

Milder summer tem-peratures combined withtimely wind patterns andcloud cover have helpedkeep ozone levels downthroughout southwestOhio for the past twoozone seasons.

While favorableweather is one aspect ofachieving healthy airquality, industrial pollu-tion controls and conser-vation habits also play avital role in our region’simproving air quality.

This is the first time inthe Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency’s 20-yearsmog alert program thatthe agency did not issue asmog alert for two con-secutive ozone seasons.A smog alert is issued theday before the agencyexpects to see levels ofair pollution that are un-healthy for sensitivegroups such as children,the elderly and peoplewith asthma, bronchitisand other respiratory

problems. Pollutants arereported using the airquality index (AQI)which is a standardized,color-coded guide withhealth-based criteria toadvise citizens on theirregion’s daily air qualityconditions.

Ozone season beginsApril 1 and concludesOct. 31 annually in Ohio.Ozone is a secondary airpollutant that formswhen nitrogen oxides(NOx) combine with vol-atile organic compounds(VOCs) in the presence ofheat and sunlight. The na-ture of southwest Ohio’sweather patterns and theOhio River Valley topog-raphy make the regionsusceptible to elevatedozone levels, especiallyduring the summer.

Although southwestOhio has experiencedtwo excellent air qualitysummers, it is importantto continue conservationhabits for the long-term

benefit of the environ-ment. The easiest way tohelp maintain healthy airquality is to be idle free.Turning off one’s vehiclewhen not driving reducesunnecessary air pollu-tions while saving gaso-line and money.

The Southwest OhioAir Quality Agencyworks with governmentagencies, businesses,communities, schoolsand citizens to maintainhealthy air quality forHamilton, Butler, Cler-mont and Warren coun-ties in southwest Ohio.The Agency is a divisionof the Hamilton CountyDepartment of Environ-mental Services, whichalso encompasses theHamilton County Recy-cling and Solid WasteDistrict.

The 28 paramedics whograduated from UC BlueAsh and UC Clermont col-leges last summermarked the 40th yearsince the first paramediceducation class graduatedfrom the University ofCincinnati.

The paramedic certifi-cate program is a joint col-laboration between UCBlue Ash and UC Cler-mont. The program wascreated in 1973 at the UCcampus in Clifton and wasoriginally sponsored byUniversity Hospital Med-ical Center. The first classgraduated from the one-year certificate programin 1974.

Each of the students inthis year’s class complet-ed more than 1,000 hoursof didactic and clinical ex-perience to meet the grad-uation requirements andearn their certification.

“This additional train-ing takes their expertiseto another level and allowsthem to pursue a promo-tion or even a new positionin their field,” said JaniceEvans, director of theEMS Technology programat UC Blue Ash College.She adds that most of thecurrent job opportunitiesare with private ambu-lance services, hospitals,and fire departments.

The class included

three students who aresecond–generation gradu-ates from the program, in-cluding Katie Theilmeyerwhose mother graduatedin 1986.

“I’m incredibly grate-ful to my mom for settingsuch an amazing exampleof what a woman can do,”Theilmeyer said. “If shehad not been a paramedic/firefighter, I may havenever realized my passionor potential.”
