also recommended thatreplacement of some ofthe trees next to the highschool plaza entryway beincluded in the plan.

A project that was pre-viously been approved bythe board for this schoolyear may be delayed.

Erik Lutz, with the dis-trict’s Operations Com-mittee, said bidding on a

new central plant will bedelayed until March.

The central plant ispart of an energy-savinginitiative and will includea boiler and chiller to beinstalled at the highschool and middle schoolcampus.

Bidding will be de-layed until after a meet-ing with the Indian HillVillagePlanningCommis-sion.

Lutz said the districtplans to address potentialnoise concerns related tothe installation of the cen-tral plant during an up-coming Indian Hill Vil-lage Planning Commis-sion meeting.

He said neighbors willbe informed of the meet-ing via email.

basketball, track, fieldhockey and volleyball,coached the Amazons tonumerous state titles andended her coaching ca-reer with a record of1,385 wins and 57 losses.She retired from coach-ing in 1982 and passedaway on Sept. 21, 2010 atthe age of 91.

Athletic BoostersPresident Mark Mackesaid he is glad the schoolkept theAmazon name tokeep both sides happy,but he supported chang-ing the name.

“I believe in oneschool, onemascot. But, Iunderstand the reasonsfor the name and thestrong traditions behindit,” he said.

The district conduct-ed a community meetingFeb. 10 to discuss its“brand redefinement,”which included possiblyeliminating the Amazonmascot for the girls’teams because one mas-cot would be easier tomarket.

Former Amazons andMadeira graduates andresidents voiced theirconcern about the namechanging at the meetingand the school trying todo away with the legacyleft by Wilson.

Lydon said at themeeting thatdistrict hav-ing a different name forthe girls is empoweringand shows the girls thatthey are just as impor-tant as the boys.

Jeanne Gulick, a Ma-deira teacher and a for-mer Amazon coach, wasone of the few people tospeak up against the Am-azon name of the meet-ing.

“I’m not a big Amazonname fan. As coming inas a 5’ 11” girl, I didn’twant to be called anAma-zon. When I coachedgirls’ sports, to me Ama-zon was a derogatoryname,” Gulick said, add-ingshedidnotmind if thename was changed ornot.

She commended theformerAmazons on theirpassion, but said the en-ergy has not been thereuntil now.

“When I go to girlsgames – beside parents –there will be three par-ents in the stands. I chal-lengeall ofyou,because Ilove your passion,maybemake that the biggest fo-cus say, ‘I am going tosupport the Amazons.’Let them know how wecare and let them knowwewant them to feel em-powered. Right now Idon’t feel like there hasbeen that connection,”

Gulick said.Lydon said she hopes

the district keeping theAmazon name will in-crease involvement inthe schools.

“I think Madeira willsee a lot more from itsalumni. With an activealumni association, wewill up the participationthat the girls need,” Ly-don said.

Macke echoed herhope.

“I will still keep doingeverything I have beenand supporting theschools hopefully with arenewed interest fromalumni,” he said.

In the letter, Kramersaid the district is goingto include the publicmore in its “brand rede-finement” efforts mov-ing forward, includingpromoting the traditionof both the Amazon andMustang teams.

“Hopefully a positive

by-product of this con-versation with alumniwill be a renewed inter-est in our schools,” Kra-mer said in an interview.

Lydon said she plansto meet with Kramer lat-er this week to talk aboutways to keep formerAm-azons and former Mus-tangs as passionate aboutMadeira and its tradi-tions as theyhavebeen inthe last fewweeks.Lydonsaid the Amazons need tofollow through now thattheir name is staying.

“Now we need to putour money where ourmouths are,” she said.

Kramer ended his let-ter reiterating what hesaid at the Feb. 10 meet-ing, “At the end of theday, we are all still Ma-deira.”

Although a significantnumber of Ohio schoolsare offering all-day kin-dergarten, IndianHill Ex-empted Village SchoolDistrict has found a sys-tem that works.

Since 2006 the districthas offered a three-quar-terdayprogramfrom8:30a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

“It’s the best of bothworlds,” said Indian HillPrimary School PrincipalJim Nichols. “We get alonger day, but it’s not toolong for the students.”

Three years ago, Gov.John Kasich and the OhioLegislature repealed amandate that all Ohioschools offer full-day kin-dergarten – largely be-cause the edict carriedwith it no real money forschools to expand their in-struction.

But since then, Ohio

schools have moved to-ward a full-day schedulefor 5-year-olds, in part be-cause of the third-gradereading mandate pushedby those same officials.

Thisyear, 87percentofthe 813 traditional public

and char-ter schoolsoffered afull-day op-tionforkin-dergarten.Additional-ly, 75 per-cent of theschoolsonly of-

fered classes all day ev-ery day, with rural Appa-lachian schools leadingthe way in exclusively of-fering full-day classes.

By comparison, 62 per-cent of the 788 schools in2011 exclusively offeredfull-day kindergarten.

Cincinnati PublicSchools has offered full-day kindergarten since

the 1980s in some of itsschools; the district ex-panded it to all elemen-tary schools in 1998. To-day only a few HamiltonCounty school districts,includingForestHills andFinneytown, offer half-day-only programs.

That changes, howev-

er, upon entering the sub-urbs. In fact,many subur-ban districts, such as La-kota and Fairfield schoolsin Butler County and Ma-son City schools in War-ren County, do not offerfull-day options.

This includes IndianHill. Nichols, though, said

the three-quarter day op-tion has worked.

It gives us a block inthe morning to teach lan-guage arts focused onreading and writing, hesaid. Additionally, the stu-dents have a lunch periodthat is beneficial for so-cial interaction, he said.

Parents in the districthave also responded fa-vorably.

The students can expe-rience a broad range ofacademics and enrich-ment programs, said par-ent Allison Kahn, an Indi-an Hill resident who has achild in kindergarten.

“At the same time it isshorter than a full dayrecognizing that some ofthese children were in apreschool program,” shesaid. “It’s a nice transitioninto primary school.

“I think a three-quar-ter daymeets theneeds ofthe students.”

This sentiment was

shared by parent MandyLongbottom, a Kenwoodresident who has a daugh-ter in thedistrict’s kinder-garten program.

Having more than halfa day allows for programssuch as physical educa-tion, music and art, shesaid.

Yet not being a full day,it has some additionalperks, she said.

“My daughter comeshomeacouplehoursearli-er (and) I get that (addi-tional) timewithher,”saidLongbottom.

Nichols said that whilecost of a full day programis a consideration, it’s thestudent who is a priority.

“We are concernedwith what is best for thestudents,” saidNichols. “Iwould say the three-quar-ter day has been best forthe students.”

KENWOOD—Some of the bet-ter wrestling matches in thestate of Ohiomay take place offMontgomery Road at MoellerHigh School.

They’re called wrestle-offs.The competitions are a by-

product of being on a teamwhose reserves might actuallybe better than starters at otherschools.

For example, Dean Meyer isa four-time Greater CatholicLeague champion who won at182 pounds lastmonth.Unfortu-nately, his wrestling and foot-ball teammate, Dakota Size-more, also competes at thatweight and is the defendingOhio Division I champion.

Because of a wrestle-off,Dean Meyer is a substitute; al-beit avaluableone tohave in theholster.

“He got hurt during footballand really didn’t cleared ‘til aweek and a half ago,” Maiersaid. “He ended up losing hiswrestle-off for the postseason.He’s filled in whenDakota Size-more was injured.”

From 170 on, Moeller offersup state runner-up QuintonRosser, state champions Size-more and Chalmer Frueauf andseasoned veteran Jerry Thorn-berry. The talent from coachJohnRodenberg’s football teamoften spills over in Gaier’s lap.

“We have a lot of depth, par-ticularly in the upper weights,”Crusaders coach Jeff Gaiersaid. “It’s hard that some guysdon’t get the opportunity be-cause they’re pretty good..Wrestle-offs determine whogets to go.”

Another Meyer will soonhave an epic match on theMoeller mat just to have theright to pin someone in an op-

posing singlet.“Right now heavyweight is

Jack Meyer, Dean’s brother,”Gaier said. “There’s going to beanother wrestle-off to deter-mine who gets to go in the post-season. JoeHensley has had thespot for most of the year.”

Going into the state teamtournament in Columbus, Gaierwas looking forward to having ahealthy slate of Crusaders.Among those who have been in-jured are starters Jacoby Wardat 132 pounds and Austin Bohe-nek at 160.

They should bolster Moell-er’s low- to mid-weights thatfeature Ward and Conner Zie-gler (120) as state placers andConnor Borton (126) as a statequalifier. Freshman DrewHobbs (138) is a junior highstateplacerandsophomoreJae-len Summerous has had a good

INDIANHILL—For thefirst fall in some time,To-ny Arcuri won’t be mak-ing a weekday afternooncommute from IndianHill to Middletown.

A teacher at IndianHill High School since2000, Arcuri was recent-ly approved as theBraves’ new head foot-ball coach.

“Finally, we’re able tomarry the two together,”Arcuri said.

Arcuri had been an as-sistant at Indian Hill un-der a previous regime,but since has coached atTurpin, Madeira andmost recently, BishopFenwick. Leaving Fen-wick, meant leaving theopportunity to watch hissophomore son.

“He’s been aroundfootball a long time andhe recognizes these op-portunities don’t comealong very often,” Arcurisaid.

The upside for Arcuriand the Indian Hill play-ers is that he’ll be thefirst coach in some timeto actually be in the highschool building.

“We are very excitedabout Tony returning tothe Indian Hill footballfamily,” Indian Hill Ath-leticDirectorJeffZidronsaid. “Tony possesses ev-erything we are lookingfor – he’s a great teacher,astrongleader,arespect-ed footballmind, and he’srecognized as a rolemod-

el andmentor throughoutour community.”

Now, Arcuri can leaveclass and check on hisBraves in the weightroom. The downside is,only 22 of 58 on the rosterwere lifting the otherday.

No reason to panic, it’sa common dilemma ofthe Cincinnati HillsLeague. Due to numbers,manyare involved inbas-ketball or wrestling thistime of year.

“Probably 70 percent

of our kids are multi-sport athletes,” Arcurisaid.

It’s part of what Arcu-rienjoysabout the leaguehe’s very familiar with.In 2008 at Madeira, hewas theCHLCoachof theYear. Most memberschools rely on sharedathletes who typicallyknow one another.

“The proximity ofmost of the teams is soclose,” Arcuri said. “Theeastsideschoolsareliter-allyrighton topofonean-

other.There’sa lot ofgeo-graphical, natural rival-ries.”

From a style stand-point, Bishop Fenwick isknown for their Wing-Toffense, some of whichformer Fenwick coachFred Cranford took toLoveland to win a Divi-sion II title. Arcuri won’trun a standard version,but it will be incorporat-ed in to what his squadwill do at Tomahawk Sta-dium.

“Not in the traditionalsense,” Arcuri said. “It’smoreofa two-back look. Ilove the Wing-T conceptandmisdirection. I’m ba-sicallyaguythatwants tomarry the Wing-T andspread together.”

While not promising astate title, he thinksthere’s a workable mixroaming the hallways offof Drake Road.

“It’s a young group ofkids,” Arcuri said. “Tosome people thatwouldn’t be a positive.There’s a lot of young tal-ent, particularly in oursophomores-to-be andour incoming freshmanclass.That’s not to saywedon’t have talent with theupperclassmen. We’vegot some good size.”

The hope is to blendthe beef andbrawnof theveterans with someyouthful speed and exu-berance.

“The passion and de-sire for football successhere is pretty high,” Ar-curi said.

A publication of

Last week’s questionColorado and Washington

have legalized retail sale of mari-juana. Is this a good idea? ShouldOhio follow suit? Why or whynot?

“It would probably be a goodidea to legalizemarijuana in thelong run. All Cheech and Chongjokes aside, it is already illegal-ly a major cash crop in Ken-tucky.

However, policies wouldhave to be in place to keep it outof hands of minors, away fromthe unhealthy addicts, and easi-er to obtain for chemotherapypatients.”

TRog

“I have not smoked anythingin over 44 years but I don’t seewhy we should continue tospend huge amounts of law en-forcement and incarcerationfunds on the relatively harm-less practice of smoking pot. Idon’t care who smokes what aslong as they don’t pollute the airaround me.

“Our police have a lot moreproductive things to do to en-hance our safety than catchingpot growers and smokers.”

F.S.D.

“Yes. But it won't happenhere anytime soon. Enforcingthe laws against use andposses-sion of marijuana costs the tax-payersmillions of dollars everyyear, and I believe that posses-sion of small amounts of mari-juana is harmless to the generalpublic.

“Having that on one's recordwill seriously impede one's fu-ture, whether it is applying forfinancial aid to go to college,trying to obtain certain kinds offinances, and prohibiting spe-cific types of employment.

“According to Harvard drugeconomist Jeffrey Miron: ‘$8.7billion in savings to our govern-ment would result from legal-ization of marijuana.’ This isjust savings from trying to en-force the prohibition. It doesn'tinclude the potential incomefrom taxes, employment oppor-tunities for retail establish-ments, and by-products thatcouldbeusedthroughoutour in-dustrialbusinesses.Frankly,weneed the money.

“Aside fromthat, a recent ar-ticle (October, 2013) by theHuf-fington Post states that 58 per-cent of theAmericanpeople arein favor of allowing the plant tobe legal. No one has ever died

from a marijuana overdose.About 40 percent of Americansadmit to having tried it, includ-ing more than one president ofthe United States.

“We have been mislead bythe ‘addictive properties’ of thedrug.Marijuana leads to depen-dence in around 9-10 percent ofadult users. Cocaine hooksabout 20 percent of its users,and heroin gets 25 percent of itsusers addicted.

“The worst culprit is tobac-co, with 30 percent of its usersbecoming addicted. The medi-cal uses of marijuana are al-ready well-known and perhapsthat is a solid first step thatcould be realized in Ohio.”

D.P.

“It always amazes me thatmanyof thosewhosupportmar-ijuana being legalized areagainst cigarettes beingsmoked! That aside, this issuereally comes down to analysis.

“Some would say that mari-juana is considered a gatewaydrug: one that is a first step intoaworld of harder,more impact-ful drugs, like cocaine, crack,and heroin, as if those partici-pating will continue non-stopdown a path seeking the nexthigh.

“Make no mistake, there arethose tendencies in some. Oth-ers would say that it is nothingmore than drug war propagan-da.

“One of the greatest thingsabout this country is the abilityto have different laws and be-haviors in different states aspart of this great American ex-periment. With two states al-ready testing this ground, andseveral more doing so by ignor-ing pot in general, statistical

analysis will determine if thosein societywill: take to the optionto smoke in similar numbers tothose currently participating il-legally, or in wild abandon dra-matically increase the numberof ‘ne'r do well potheads.’

“Additionally, we will see ifthe drug truly acts as a gatewayand these two states see steadyincreases in usage of other illic-it drugs. The beauty of this forOhioans is the ability to sit backand watch the results.

“Those desiring a more par-ticipatory role can always booka flight! Just remember to packsnacks...”

C.T.

“What a can of worms!Mari-juana in any form, for any pur-pose,medical or recreational, isillegal according to federal law.However, the man currently inthe White House, our nation’schief executive officer, has tak-en itentirelyuponhimself tode-termine just what laws he willor will not execute.

“This is in spite of this oathwhich he has willingly and vol-untarily taken twice: ‘I do sol-emnly swear (or affirm) that Iwill faithfully execute the of-fice of president of the UnitedStates, andwill to thebest ofmyability, preserve, protect anddefend the Constitution of theUnited States.’

“Thatoath is therock-bottomfoundational Constitutional re-quirement EVERY presidenthas sworn to do, from GeorgeWashington to Barack Obama.Faithfully executing the officeof president includes enforcingall laws!

“We now have a presidentwho deliberately violates histwice-sworn oath of officewhich in turn emboldens abunchofknuckleheadsinsever-al states to ‘legalize’ an illegalsubstance with certain restric-tions of their own, which theyclaim theywill enforce! If thesepeople have taken it upon them-selves to knowingly violate fed-eral law, arewe really supposedto expect them to be honorableupstanding law-abiding citi-zens?

“We Americans of everystripe and in every state arenowsupposed tosupportandre-spect law-breakers in multiplestates who are counting on thepresidentof theUnitedStates tocontinue toviolatehis oath.Fur-ther, they expect us to believethat they will faithfully enforcethe restrictions they have

placed upon the growing, distri-bution and sale of marijuanawithin their states.

“Let me see if I’ve got thisstraight; you recklessly violatefederal law but we are to be-lieve that you will faithfully en-force your illegal law. Talkabout mind-boggling.

“What happens when a newpresident takes office? Howwill it look when governors andlegislators are thrown into fed-eral prison alongwith hundredsof marijuana growers and dis-tributors?

“Here’s a thought to tossaround inyourmind: ‘I amares-ident of Colorado and I ammak-ing a claim on my Obama-Carefor my marijuana addiction be-cause it was a pre-existing con-dition. I expect my doctor towrite prescriptions for mari-juana to assist me with control-ling my addiction and I expectMedic-Aid to pay all of thosecosts.’ Duh…

“I’ll close this diatribe with asomewhat rhetorical question:What additional laws will ourleaders choose to ignore orbreak (besides those already atthis stage such as immigra-tion)?”

R.V.“Sure, tax itandusemoneyto

educate public on dangers ofthe strong drugs especiallyherein.

“Medical use has proven tobe a relief for debilitating pain.This is especially needed for el-derly who have exhausted pills.Also marijuana is cheaper thanRx pills in some cases.”

Walter

“Yes, I think it would be agreat idea for Ohio to legalizethe recreational use ofmarijua-na. Once other states start torealize the benefits of legaliza-tion,whichwill faroutweigh thedetriments, they will followsuit.

“Over the years the mythsand propaganda about marijua-na have largely been provenfalse. It's no more of a gatewaydrug than alcohol (alcohol wasthefirstdrugItried)andit is farless hazardous to your healththan alcohol.

“ Making it legal will notmake it more accessible to kidsand more kids will not start us-ing it. In The Netherlands,wherepot is decriminalizedandtolerated, the teenage pot userate is among the lowest in thewestern world.

“Saying that everyone is go-

ing to be stoned if marijuana islegalized is ridiculous. If heroinwere legalized would you rushout and try it? I knowIwouldn't.

“People that want to smokemarijuana will, those that don't,won't. It will be no differentthan it is now except the smok-erswon'tbehiding in theirbase-ments.”

J.S.K.

“The opium dens of the 19th

century did not turn out to be asharmless as everyone thought,nor did the ‘harmless’ LSD ex-perimentation of the 1960s.

“Ohio should not follow suitin marijuana legalization be-cause it is against the entirepremise of anti-drug, smartchoicescampaigns likeJustSayNo. It teaches ‘Just SayNo…Ex-cept…’

“If marijuana is to be usedfor medical purposes, it shouldbe by doctor’s prescriptiononly.”

L.B.

“Yes, I think we should allowit, after all if someone wants tosmoke they will and while it islegal we can regulate and taxthe product.”

P.R.

“Marijuana is a by govern-ment definition a drug. By mymoral standards, I don't thinkwe should legalize it.

“Therewill always be an ille-gal side to it, just like there iswithmoonshinewhich isnowle-gal to produce under govern-ment standards. I believe thateveryone has a choice to do‘right’ or ‘wrong.’ Its up to themtodecide.Samegoesforourpol-iticians and leaders. Think of allthe benefits and consequencesbefore you act.”

R.F.

“If we want more highwayaccidents like those caused bydriving with illegal alcohol lev-els by all means do it!”

T.J.

“Hasn't this been the ques-tion for going on seven decadesat least? Yes, Ohio should legal-ize marijuana. Let people use itformedicalpurposesandrecre-ation.

“Let's benefit from the taxeson it. Let's stop punishing peo-ple for growing it. Let's stoppayingforpeople tobe in jail forgrowing it, selling it and usingit.

The state Legislature haslimitedeligibility throughan in-come qualifier for the Real Es-tate TaxHomestead Exemptionfor most new applicants afterJan. 1, 2014.

This clamp-down is yet an-other in a series ofmovesmadeby the state to offload expendi-tures onto local governmentsand citizens.

Other changes made in thepast two years include morethan a 50 percent cut of statefunding to counties, municipal-ities, and townships and elimi-nation of12½ percent rollbacksonneworreplacement leviesonowner-occupied residentialproperty taxes.

Taken together, these cutswill literally save the state (andrevert these costs back to citi-zens and communities) wellover a billion dollars annually

with thatamount grow-ing every yeardue to new lev-ies coming on,the death ofcurrent Home-stead recipi-ents, and thepotentialgrowth in statetax revenues.

Under thecurrent version of the law, tax-payers already receiving theHomesteadexemption (normal-lywortharound$300to$400peryear for a homeowner) will be“grandfathered” andwill be eli-gible to receive the break goingforward… unless there is achange in their status such asnot owning and living in anOhioresidence or no longer beingclassed as totally disabled.

Special attention should betaken by those who turned 65before Jan.1, 2014, and have notyet filed the first time forHomestead exemption.

Youhaveaone-timeopportu-nity to apply and be approvedwithout income qualification aslong as you own and live in thesame home that you did on Jan.1, 2013.

Such “late application” mustbe received at the auditor’s of-fice on or before June 2, 2014.

New applicants becoming el-igible by age or disability afterJan. 1, 2014, will now need tomeet an income test to be ap-proved for the Homestead ex-emption.

A taxpayer and spouse withan individual or joint householdOhio adjusted gross income(OAGI) ofmore than $30,500 ontheir 2013 state income tax re-

turn will not be eligible for theexemption in the current year.

If, in the future, the taxpayer(s) report an income below theeligibility threshold, the ex-emption may be approved forthat year.

New Homestead applicantswho are not required to file anOhio income tax return mustsubmit appropriate documenta-tion to the county auditor toprove income eligibility.

It should be noted that Ohioadjusted gross income is notnecessarily the same as the to-tal income received in a house-hold.

Receipt of Social Securitybenefits would be a major ex-ample of an income source notconsidered for OAGI and thusnot affecting eligibility for theHomestead exemption.

The normal filing period for

theHomesteadexemption isbe-tween the firstMonday in Janu-ary and the first Monday ofJune each year.

Annually, in March, we mailan inquiry concerning continu-ing eligibility to taxpayers whoreceived the Homestead ex-emption in the previous year.

If there isnochange in theel-igibility status no action is nec-essary by the taxpayer.

More detail about the Home-stead tax exemption may befound on the Hamilton Countyauditor’s website (hcaudi-tor.org) or taxpayers may visitthe auditor’s office on the thirdfloor of the County Administra-tion Building at 138 E. Court St.in downtown Cincinnati. Thephone number is 946-4099.

Dusty Rhodes is the Hamilton Coun-ty auditor.

My friend, CharleneCastle, known as the dum-plin’queenaroundhere, isa Southern girl whomakes her dumplingswith soft, self-rising flourand hot water.

She doesn’t use mea-suring cups; she uses spe-cial bowls like her mom.Real heirloom cooking.

“Roll themout, putthem in thechickenand broth.They’llthicken it,”she said.

I makedumplings,too, butmine arethe kind

you scoop up and plop ontop of soup or stew. Fun tomake.

Granddaughter Eva,almost 6, is pretty good atmaking these dumplings.It won’t be long before Igether little sis,Emerson,up on the stool to help, aswell.

No-peek herbeddumplings

First, have your soup,steworevencannedbrothboiling. I like to put theseon top of chicken soup.Thesecret tofluffydump-lings? Don’t peek!

1 cup all-purpose flour,spooned lightly into cupand leveled off

11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste

Palmful fresh mincedparsley (optional)

1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded

3 tablespoons butter

Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt together.Add parsley. Make a wellin center. Heat milk withbutter until butter melts.Pour into well and mix.Dough will look sort ofshaggy. Add a bit moremilk, if necessary. Don’tover mix.

Sometimes there’s abitof dry mixture in the bot-tomof thebowl.Just leaveit.

Turnheatdownonsoupto simmer. Use an icecreamscoopsprayedwithcooking spray to dropdumplings carefully ontop of liquid, leavingspace in between for ex-pansion. Put lid on. Nopeeking!

Simmer anywherefrom 8 to 10 minutes, oruntil largest dumpling isdone: cut in half to test.

Dumpling will be

cooked through and notsoggy in middle. Dump-lings expand to double oreven triple. Dependingupon size, you’ll get eightor more.

Quick beefstroganoff

I only know her by herfirst name, Sherry.

We almost collided atthe store. Sherrywasbuy-ing ingredients for thisrecipe andwhen I told herit sounded so good, shegavemeher copy! “I haveanother at home,” shesaid. I followed her recipepretty close, with a fewadaptations. Worth shar-ing!

1pound flank steakOlive oil1 cup chopped onion1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoonmincedgarlic (optional)

Salt and pepper to tasteHot paprika or a littlecayenne, to taste

6-8 oz. fresh exoticmushrooms or regularmushrooms, sliced

11⁄2 cups beef broth1 tablespoon plus 2teaspoons flour

1⁄3 cup sour cream plus morefor garnish

Several green onions, slicedNice pat of butter, about atablespoon or so

Cooked noodles

Slice beef across grain1⁄4-inch wide strips, thencutstrips inhalf.Filmbot-tom of pan with oil andheat to medium high.

Addbeefandcookuntilbrowned, about 5 min-utes. Remove and add on-ion,garlic, seasoningsandmushrooms to pan andcook untilmushrooms aretender, adding a bit moreoil if necessary.

Reduce heat to medi-um. Mix 1⁄4 cup beef brothwith flour tomakeapaste.Add to pan along withbeef, stirring well. Stir in1-1⁄4 cups broth, cover andcook until sauce thickens.Adjust seasonings.

Stir in sour cream,green onions and butter.Serve over noodles andpass sour cream.

Can you help?Thriftway’s tortellini

salad. WesternHills read-er Mark Wiggershauswould like to have this

recipe or something simi-lar.

“It had an earthy tasteandwasverygood,”Marksaid.

Like Frisch’s or Jock’sbatter for deep-fried fish.ReaderTomOhmerwouldlove tohaveasimilar reci-pe.

Motor vehicle repairscontinue to top the list ofconsumer complaints re-ceived by the Ohio Attor-ney General. In mostcases, that office is verylimited in its ability tohelp solve the consumerproblems.

That’s why Ohio StateSen. Joe Uecker (R-Mi-ami Township) has intro-duced legislation thatwould require mechanicrepair facilities to be li-censed. Right now thereare more than 4,000 suchrepair shops operatingwithout any oversight.Only body repair shopsare currently licensed inOhio.

“This bill will not onlylevel the playing field, itwill also protect consum-ers by ensuringbusiness-es have proper liabilityinsurance should some-

thing hap-pento theirvehiclewhile atthe repairshop,”Ueckersaid.

Thestate li-censingagency

would also help resolvecomplaints filed by vehi-cle owners, such as Kim-berly Thorpe of LibertyTownship. She was toldshe needed a new enginefor her 2004 Chrysler Se-bring. So, she took it to arepair shop where, shesaid, it sat formore thanayear.

Thorpe eventuallytook the vehicle to a deal-ership and was told someparts were missing. Inaddition, she was told a

new engine would cost$5,500 to $6,000 – yet shehad already spent morethan two-thirds thatamount with that first re-pair shop.

Thorpe says she gavethat first shop owner onemorechance to fix theve-hicle, but she never gother engine. Instead shehas parts in the back seatand the trunk of her vehi-cle, but no engine underthe hood.

Angel Hale-Frater, ofBlue Ash, is also upsetwith the dealership towhich she took her over-heating SUV. She paid$1,500 for the repair but,after getting it back, shediscovered the SUV wasstill overheating. She re-turned the vehicle to thedealership and said themanager told her, “Wemake mistakes all the

time.” Then she was toldnew repairs neededwould cost nearly doublewhat she had alreadypaid.

“If they had presentedme with, ‘Your car needsupwards of $2,000 plus ofwork,’ I would have said,‘No.’ I bought it sevenyears ago, it had 35,000miles on it, its now got130,000 miles,” Hale-Fra-ter said.

Fortunately, after fil-ing a complaint with me,the dealership agreed todeduct the cost of thatfirst repair from Hale-Frater’s secondbill.How-ever, she still ended uppaying more than $2,000for the repairs.

Uecker said he hopesthe repair shop licensinglegislation will be passedby the end of this year. Isuggested, and the legis-lature will consider, re-quiring shop owners topost a small bond. Thatwould assure vehicleowners get compensated

should there be a prob-lem collecting from a re-pair shop

“The board could ver-ify and monitor compli-ance with state laws, giv-ing consumers the abilityto identify those servicecenters that are regis-tered. Every Ohioan de-serves to feel confidentthat repairs on their vehi-cles are performed safe-ly and professionally,”Uecker said.

No such licensing iscurrently required inKentucky.

If you’d like to expressyour feelings about thebill write to Sen.JoeUecker at [email protected].

When an entrepreneuris on fire to ramp up busi-ness success, GreaterCincinnati SCORE’s teammentors are armed withcoffee and donuts andready to help.

SCORE counselorsteam up once a week inKenwood to address abusiness owners’ mostpressing business con-cerns all in one, 1.5 hoursession. Issues usually in-clude business strategy,operations, marketingand finance.

These sessions canprovide rapid problemsolving and decisionmak-ing, resulting in acceler-ated growth. The teammentoring service is justone of SCORE’s free pro-grams available to newand existing small busi-ness owners in greaterCincinnati.

Team mentors haveheld about 2,300 clientsessions totaling morethan 10,000 counselinghours over the past fiveyears.

“We research theneeds of a client and se-lect three experiencedcounselors who can helpmeet those needs,” saidBill Haman of IndianHill,a retired Avon executiveand team mentor chair-man.

Haman is also a mem-ber of Queen City Angelsinvestment group.

“We can addressmulti-ple issues in one meetingand give the client pro-

ductive assignments forthe follow up sessions.The wealth of knowledgeavailable and shared in ameeting when you putthreeexperiencedprofes-sionals together is invalu-able to clients, whetherthey are in a start-upphase or taking their busi-ness to the next level.”

Team mentoring isvaluable for the counsel-ors as well.

“A key advantage ofworking as a team is thatit enhances the socialatmosphere among coun-selors,” said Haman.

Counselors who en-gage in team mentoringoften don’t want to goback to one-on-one coun-seling, which is also avail-able to clients.

“It’s a more fraternalexperience-- with donuts.We have 100 counselors,so they are very much ontheirownwhentheycoun-sel a client one on one.Whenyoumeet inagroup,more friendships developamong counselors. Thereis no question counselorsderive more satisfactionfrom helping small busi-ness owners because ofthe camaraderie.”

SCORE is the volun-teer arm of the SmallBusiness Administrationand celebrates its 50th an-niversary in 2014. Nation-wide, SCORE has helpedmore than10millionsmallbusiness owners succeed.

More than 10,000 coun-selors volunteer at 340

SCORE chapters in citiesthroughout the U.S. Theyvolunteer their help toany small business ownerwilling to learn and imple-ment new ideas.

Seventy percent ofSCORE Cincinnati’s cli-ents are starting a busi-ness, with 30 percent al-ready in business. In 2013,SCORE-Cincinnati helpedcreate about 350 jobs lo-cally.

Teammentoring iscon-ducted at a SCORE officeprovided by Duke RealtyintheTowersofKenwood,8044 Montgomery Road.

“We’ve created syner-gy between our expertsand the entrepreneur thatallowsustofocus immedi-ately on aspects of situa-tionswhere one counselormay not be an expert,”saidMikeMartin, greaterCincinnati SCORE chair-man.

“Our clients keep com-ing back for more, andthey come back with stra-tegic plans, progress re-ports and success sto-ries.”

Greater CincinnatiSCORE offers no-costcounseling and low-costseminars serving19 coun-ties inOhio,KentuckyandIndiana. Its main office islocated at 535 Vine St.,Room1030.

Dov Lipman, an Ortho-dox rabbi with roots inCincinnati, is the firstAmerican-born memberof the Knesset (Israeliparliament) in almost 30years. He is at the fore-front of combating reli-gious segregation in Isra-el.

On Thursday, Feb. 20,at 7:30 p.m., at theMayer-son JCC, Lipman willshare his vision for theJewish State and discusshis efforts to create Jew-ish unity in Israel andthroughout the world.

“Religious Tolerancein Israel” – part of the IS-RAELITY speaker series– is free and open to thepublic.

Lipman grew up inMaryland, the son of aU.S. federal judge. Short-lyafterhemoved to Israelin 2004, he was hit by a

rock while observing aHaredi protest near hishome in Beit Shemesh.

“That’s where thisswitch went off in myhead,” Lipman said. “Ihave to domy part to healthese wounds and get thissociety back on track.”

Lipman’s goal is tobring all Jews – ultra-Or-thodox, secular and ev-eryone in between – to-gether as a people.

He asked, “How can itbe that the Jewish people,who were scattered forgenerations and – withthanks to God, the IDFand the merit of Torahstudy – have returned tolive in Israel, remain scat-tered here as well?”

Believing that isolationbreeds extremism, Lip-man works to bringmem-bersof theultra-Orthodoxcommunity “into the fold”

by providing them withgeneral education, en-couraging them to workwhile they continue tostudy Torah, and requir-ing their military or civilservice.

“How a person servesGod or doesn’t serve Godis apersonal thing, andwehave to find a way to cre-ate a Jewish countrywhere people can bethemselves and every-body respects each otherregardless,” he said.

Lipman’s presentationis part of “ISRAELITY:Redefining Reality in Is-rael,” a series of open dia-logues presented by theJewish Federation of Cin-cinnati’s Israel Centerand its Jewish Communi-ty Relations Council,along with the MayersonJCC.

As new guidelines gointo effect requiring col-leges to post the passingrates for students on theVeterinary TechnicianNational Examination, re-sults show that theVeteri-naryTechnologyprogramat UC Blue Ash Collegecontinues to be one of thebest in the region.

The American Veteri-nary Medical Associationrecently began requiringVetTechprogramsacrossthe U.S. to publicly postthe VTNE passing rates.Data shows that UC BlueAsh is well above the na-tional passing rate, as

nearly every studentpasses the test on his orher first attempt.

“The results are a trib-ute to the quality of ourprogram and the hardwork and dedication ofour students,” said Jenni-fer Wells, chair of the VetTech Department at UCBlue Ash. “Our facultyand staff do a tremendousjob of teaching and pro-viding one on one instruc-tion, but it’s really up tothe students to absorb theinformation and have thedesire to be successful.”

Vet Tech studentslearn how to provide gen-

eral wellness care for ani-mals, including vaccina-tions, diagnostic testing,and surgery support.They pursue opportuni-ties in a variety of veteri-nary practices, includingveterinary offices, indus-trial and medical re-search institutions, zoosand the military.

The Vet Tech programatUCBlueAsh ismarkingits 45-year anniversarythis year making it one ofthe most established pro-grams in theU.S.More in-formation about the pro-gram is available atwww.ucblueash.edu.

UC Blue Ash vet techprogram passes the test

Deborah Somers is a sophomore in the UC Blue Ash Veterinary Technology program.New publicly posted data shows it's among the best in the region at preparing studentsfor the credentialing exam. THANKS TO PETE GEMMER
