SycamoreTownshipcouldbeadding a place to practiceknocking one out of the park.

TheBoardofTrustees is con-sidering installing battingcages at Robert L. Schuler Ath-letic Complex, 11532 DeerfieldRoad.

Parks and Recreation Direc-tor Mike McKeown suggestedadding the cages, which couldbe installed inoneoffourdiffer-ent sites on the park’s grounds.

Out of the four possible sitesthe two deemed best were ei-

ther next to the driveway lead-ing to the maintenance garageor behind the scoreboard by thewalking trail.

The other two locations lesslikely options were in right andleft fields next to the bullpens.

McKeown said the one placewould be near the garage be-cause the ground was alreadyrelatively level and it’s close tothe entrance and exit driveway.

However, the location couldbeaproblem if sewerandwaterlines need to be run to themain-tenance garage, Superinten-dent Tracy Kellums said.

The other more likely loca-

tion is behind right field, next tothe soccer field. McKeown saidthey’ll have to look at howmuchroomwould be between the bat-ting cages and the soccer fieldbefore settling on that location.

The townshipcanalsodecidebetween two ways to constructthe cages.

One option is to use a chainlink fence,whichwill cost about$17,000, or netting, which willbe about $2,000. McKeown saidwith the nets, a concrete base ispoured and four poles hold upnets thatcanberemovedduringthe winter.

The money will come from a

tax increment financing fundthat can only be spent on pro-jects at Schuler. The fund hasabout $86,000 in it, McKeownsaid.

As the finish date looms clos-er, construction workers areworking on the last few tasks ofthe project.

Kenwood Road is down toone lane in each direction fromthe Interstate 71entrance ramp

to Montgomery Road.Work on themedian that will

run that length began Sept. 30,and will likely take about twoweeks to be completed, saidSycamore Township mainte-nance superintendent TracyKellums.

“This part is going to be themost intrusive for the next two

weeks,” he added.Kellums said that both the

underground utilities for DukeEnergy and Cincinnati Bell arenearly ready for businessesalong Kenwood Road betweenI-71 and Montgomery to con-nect with, and that the curbsfrom I-71 to Euclid Avenue arebeing poured as well.

The closures arebackupsbe-cause of the center lanes beingclosed, but most drivers are ad-justing to the changes.

Chris Key, of Florence, saidthat it seemedpretty typical forconstruction and he didn’t haveany problems.

Jason Waller, of Madeira,said that traffic jammed up

more near the highway rampswhere the lanes close, but driv-ers adjusted to the traffic.

The project is expected tofinish on time by Oct. 31.

PRICE HILL — TwoGreater Catholic Leaguerivals are teaming up tohelp feed the community.

The Elder Mom’s Clubwill host its annual collec-tion drive for the HolyFamily/St. Vincent de PaulFood Pantry during thefootball game between El-der and Moeller highschools Friday, Oct. 11, atthe Pit.

JenDugan,presidentoftheElderMom’sClub, said

this is the seventhyear theclub has partnered with arival GCL school to collectfood and raise money forthe pantry. This year theyare working with theMoellerMoms’ Club.

“We usually alternatebetween Moeller and St.Xavier, depending on El-der’s home football sched-

ule,” she said.“We typically have a

good response, however,the key is to get the otherschool actively involved.”

Dugan said LyndaMackey, president of theMoeller Moms’ Club, em-braced the idea and isworkingcloselywithotherMoeller moms to spreadthemessage.

“We both agree it’s OKto be GCL rivals on thefield, but when it comestime to supporting thecommunity we’re GCLstrong,” Dugan said. “To-gether we can truly makea difference.”

Moms will be at thegates prior to the 7:30 p.m.game collecting donationsof non-perishable items.Those who would like tohelp can bring such fooditems as canned fruit andvegetables, cereal, peanutbutter, pasta and cannedmeat or tuna. Personalcare items like toothpaste,shampoo, soap and toiletpaper, and baby diapersandwipes are also needed.

Monetary donationswill be accepted as well.

Moeller’s Mackey saidthat even though the twoschools are rivals, work-ing together to help thecommunity isnotonlypos-itive for the young menthat attend each school,but also reinforces the les-sons they learn at school.

“InCatholic schools, so-cial justice is an importantsubject taught to theboys,” she said. “Anythingwecandotoassist insome-one’s causeshows theboysa positive example.”

“Ourhopeis toshowtheyoung men of Elder andMoeller that the GCL ismore than just two rivalscompeting on a footballfieldandothersports,”shesaid.

Some residents in In-dianHillandinsevenoth-er communities soonmaypaymore andothersless for new water ser-vice connections.

Theyarecustomersofthe Indian Hill WaterWorks,which is expectedby year’s end to generate$100,000 less in receiptsthan expected due to wetweather this summer, In-dianHill Village Council-man Dan Feigelson saidat the Sept. 30 councilmeeting.

Mayor Mark Tullissaid thecharges take intoaccount Ohio’s recent ex-tension of the sales tax toservices.

The charges also takeinto account the village’sdiscovery that the cost ofwater meters has in-creased for meters serv-ing lots of less than oneand a half acres and hasdecreased for metersserving lots of three ormore acres.

Here are theproposedminimum charges formeters and servicebranches to propertylines compared to the

current charges, whichwere set in 2008:

» $5,819 (currently$5,906) for properties ofless than one acre.

» $8,103 (currently$8,202) for properties ofone acre to less thanthree acres.

» $14,014 (currently$13,499) for properties ofthree to less than fiveacres.

» $20,941 (currently$20,260) for properties offive or more acres.

If changes in thecharges are approvedcustomers who increasethe size of their existingmeters and servicebranches would pay feesequal to the difference incost between their pre-sent service size and theincreased service size.

Any changes in IndianHill Water Works costswould affect more thanvillage residents.

The water works alsosupplies residents ofCamp Dennison and Ter-race Park, about half theresidents ofMadeira andsomeresidents ofColum-bia and Symmes town-ships, Milford and Mont-gomery.

BRIEFLY

Candidates for the In-dian Hill school boardare bracing for change.

A number of the can-didates are consideringthe impact of state-man-dated curriculum re-quirements in conjunc-tion with a challengingeconomy.

Among the candidatesfor the Indian Hill Ex-empted Village Board ofEducation are three in-cumbents and a formermedical adviser for thedistrict.

Eddie Hooker helpedset up an emergency re-sponse plan for the Indi-an Hill schools about adecade ago. He is cur-rently a teacher of clini-cal medicine at XavierUniversity and a physi-cian in the school’sHealth Center.

“We have to always beevaluating how we canbe better,” said Hookerregarding how to im-prove student education.

The district is alreadydoingagreat job,Hookersaid. However, he said itis important to monitorpotential weaknessesand develop solutions.

KarlGrafe has served

on the schoolboard four yearsand is currentlypresident of theboard.

Grafe said abroad student edu-cation is essential.

“It is importantthatwecontinue toprovide the high-est level of aca-demic opportuni-ties, includingcourse offeringsthat enable stu-dents to reach fur-ther than theircomfort zone,” hesaid.

Elizabeth John-ston has served onthe board for eightyears.

Johnston saidher approach toeducation is thatone size doesn’tnecessarily fit all,especially in re-gard to state re-port card evalua-tions.

She said it is im-portant to maxi-mize the learningpotential of eachstudent to preparethem for the 21stcentury.

“The Indian Hillschool district educatesat a level significantlyhigher than state bench-marks,” she said.

Kim Lewis has servedon the board since Janu-ary 2010 and is currently

vice president ofthe school board.

Lewis said themost importantcomponent of astudent’s educa-tion is“thequalityof the educationand the depth ofthe mentoring re-lationships” be-tween studentsand teachers andstudents and ad-ministrators.

The candidatessaid funding andthe new “Com-mon Core Stan-dards” regardingcurriculum areamong the big-gest challengesfacing the dis-trict.

Hooker said hehas concernsabout what couldpotentially be “avery rigid curri-culum” mandatedby the state.

He said Com-mon Core Stan-dards are morelikely beneficialfor lower-per-forming schooldistricts than a

high-performing districtlike Indian Hill.

Grafe said it is impor-tant that while integrat-ing these standards, thedistrict continue tomain-tain its academic excel-lence.

“(Additionally), we

must always be diligentaboutcarefullywatchingover taxpayer funds anddistrict expenditures,”he said.

Johnston also said fi-nancial diligence is im-perative.

“(The) boards havedone a great job of plan-ning for the future andexercising prudent fi-nancial controls,” shesaid. “(This) has servedthe community well.”

Lewis said it is vitalthat while implementingthe new curriculum thedistrict continue to focuson Advanced Placementcourses, the arts andsports.

“We have to provideopportunities for the stu-dents while at the sametime balancing the dis-trict’s budget,” she said.

DeerParkCommunityCitySchools is upgrading its tech-nology to assist with futurestate testing standards.

The school district hiredForwardEdge,an informationtechnology company, to up-date the technologywithin theschools.

Changes thatweremade in-clude a wider Internet band-width that allows more userson the server at once to accessit more smoothly, cloud-basedstorage and upgraded soft-ware, said Jenny Moormeier,the district’s technology con-sultant.

All teachers within the dis-trict received a laptop, whichwill allow them to be trainedwith educational programsthat they can implement intheir classroom lessons.

Students can also take on-line courses and dual enroll-mentprograms,which thedis-trict added for this year insome subjects.

The school board’s focus onthese upgrades was on how itwill help students prepare forthe Partnership for Assess-ment of Readiness for Collegeand Careers, or PARCC, as-sessments and the state re-port card.

Some of the new rankings,including the A to F gradingsystem, were unveiled thisyear, with lower grades thanmany school districts expect-ed.

Next year’s changes alsomean that students will takestate tests online instead ofwith paper andapencil,whichMoormeier said could be off-putting to a student who isn’tused to being challenged andtested on a computer.

She added that if a studentis behind, teachers are able totrack their achievement astheyearprogressesmucheas-ier, making it clearer to pin-point problem areas.

However, Moormeier saidthat it takes about a year forthose transitions to really sinkin, but tracking students’ pro-gress will be able to preventthem from falling further be-hind.

Those technology updateswill also help teachers supple-ment their lessons, whichcould help with the reportcard scores.

“Technology isn’t going tofix all the holes in the reportcard,” said Jay Phillips, direc-tor of secondaryeducation forDeer Park. “It’s the teachingand formative instructionalpractice we have.”

District Treasurer CynthiaStubenvoll said that DeerPark schools budgets about$350,000eachyearon technol-ogy services. She added thatthe district spent about$108,000 on technology sup-port and consulting, and willuse the rest of the budget forphysical items, such as serv-ers and software.

INDIAN HILL — Playing in aleaguedominatedbyWyomingat18-0, IndianHillHigh Schoolmanaged to come together atthe sectional tournament toqualify for the district gather-ing at Weatherwax Oct. 3.

CoachTopher Sheldon’s hadfull teams qualify as recentlyas two years ago, but wasn’tsure what his 2013 swingerswould accomplish.

“We’ve had an up-and-downseason,”Sheldonsaid.“Ihadnoidea what to expect and theguys just stepped up andplayedgreat.Wewereworkingthrough some qualifying forwho was going to play and itended up working out.”

Along with top CincinnatiHills League playerWill Grim-merofMariemont and the effi-cient shooting Wyoming, Shel-don was glad tohave a bevy ofBraves in themix.

“Wyoming’sbeat up on uspretty much allyear,” Sheldonsaid.

With Grim-mer averagingsub-35 for Ma-riemont and six of Wyoming’sgolfers in the top 10, IndianHill’s numbers pale in compar-ison. Sophomore ConnorHjelm’s pre-tournament aver-age of 42.52 was nearly eightstrokes behind Grimmer.

Behind Hjelm statisticallywere seniorPatrickAmatoandfreshman Ben Friedberg hov-ering around 44.

“We have eight competitiveplayers and as the season’sgone on, five rose a little abovethe other three to be in ourpostseason line-up,” Sheldonsaid. “Wedon’t have a clear-cutNo.1or a clear-cutNo. 5, it wasbalanced top to bottom.”

Indian Hill’s next groupingof players were sophomoreMattNeumann, juniorMichaelThorsen, juniorDanielHarder,juniorMichael Folz and sopho-morePeytonMarrs.Going intothe district tourney, Hjelm,Amato, Thorsen, Friedbergand Neumann were Sheldon’stop five.

“Some play better with lesspressure on them at No. 4 or

No. 5,” he said. “Someplay bet-ter with more pressure onthem at No. 1 or No. 2. It’s kindof an interesting dynamic.”

Anything beyond Weather-wax for the Braves was gravy.As it were, the Braves didn’tqualify for State as a team orindividually. Sophomore Con-norHjelmshot 78, but thatwasstill five strokes off what wasneeded to move on.

“Since the beginning of theseason, I’ve been surprised,”Sheldon said. “Themost recentsurprise was qualifying fordistricts. I remember beingquoted at the end of Augustthat this was going to be a re-building year. My goal was toget to districts.”

With that goal accom-plished, it’s easy to have highexpectations for next season.Including junior varsity, 12 of13 players will tote their bagsfor the Braves a year fromnow.

“Hopefully this motivatesthem for next year,” Sheldonsaid. “Ihopewecanmakearunat the state tournament (in2014). We’re real excited forthe next couple of years.”

As for 2013, Sheldon attri-butes the team’s success tocaptains Amato and Thorsen.

“They have been outstand-ing leaders this year in what’sbeen in more ways than one, achallenging season,” Sheldonsaid. “They have stepped uptheir games and leadership toget us where we are.”

Q: How competitive is theleague that you’re seeminglyalways in contention for?

A: “The CHL, in my opinion,is one of the best public schoolsoccer leagues in Ohio. Threeteams in the past decade haveplayed their final game at CrewStadium.Winning theCHL is anincredible accomplishment forany team and I am proud of thisteam to have positioned itself tocompete for another title.”

Q: Howare you able to con-sistently reload and rebuildyour squad?

A: “I thinkourcontinuedsuc-cess is attributed to great kidsthat come from a very compet-itive community that promotessuccess both in the classroomand on the athletic fields. Lookat all of our teams and the con-sistent success they all haveyear in and year out.”

Q: None of your top scorersare seniors. As good as you

are, how bright is the future?A: “We are all very excited

for the future of the programwith this group and the nextthree groups to come, but thesuccess of any program is theolder girls. We have some greatolder players. The four seniorswere freshmen when we wonstate in 2010 and Cass Nieman

(XU commit) started on thatteam. The other three seniors,Megan Stapleton, SarahMahlerand Bekah Carpenter, havebeen a part of two CHL titlesand three district titles.”

Q: Is defense the emphasisof this year’s group?

A publication of

I am writing this articlebecause I don’t just careabout Deer Park, I absolutelylove Deer Park with all of myheart and soul.

I have lived in Deer Parkmy entire life and nevercalled any place else home. Itis not only the greatest placeon earth to grow up in. Butit’s also the greatest place onearth to raise a family andgrow old in.

In these tough economictimes towns like Deer Parkhave struggled financially.Deer Park is no different andsome tough decisions had tobe made.

Our current City Councilhas worked hard to keepthings solvent. Deer Park has

one of the finest po-lice departments inHamilton County. Wealso have a top notchservice department.

Since 2010 $2.7million dollars hasbeen spent on streetrepairs. Only$538,000 of that hascome from the localcity budget. The restwas paid with outsidefunds and grants.

Deer Park has recentlyreached an agreement withSycamore Township to createa joint economic developmentzone or JEDZ. This agree-ment will not cost the city adime. It will however gener-ate more revenue for the city.

Recently the cityand the school boardworked together toreach an agreement tokeep Deer Park Roof-ing in Deer Park at theformer Remke site.Not only does this keepthe tax base in the city,it also takes care of theproblem of the proper-ty being occupied andmaintained.

All of these things areproof of our city leadersworking together with eachother and other organiza-tions.

The only way to continuemoving forward with thistype of cooperation is to votefor John Donnellon, Jeff Hall

and Christine Hedger. Allthree of them are committedto working together.

I feel their opponentShawn Gavin is not. I haveworked with Mr. Gavin onmany different projects. Mr.Gavin can be very personableand comes across very softspoken and likable.

After getting to know Mr.Gavin I feel that he is not ateam player. I realize that noteveryone is going to agree allof the time and differentopinions and views are agreat thing.

But we are all members ofthis wonderful town and weneed to work together andcompromise to move thingsforward.

We need leadership thatwill take the time to listen toother opinions. Take all ofthose opinions into consider-ation and make an informeddecision. We can’t just dis-miss someone who doesn’tagree.

We all need to work togeth-er for one common goal. Abetter Deer Park! Our cityleaders must work togetherfor that to happen.

I ask that when you go tothe polls in the city Of DeerPark on Nov. 5 that you castyour vote for John Donnellon,Jeff Hall and Christine Hedg-er. They will work togetherfor a better Deer Park.

John Perin is a Deer Park resident.

Vote for cooperation in Deer Park

I realize I watch too much TV, listen to toomuch talk radio, and, read too many newspa-pers. Each of these carry far too many com-mercials and have turned mymind into a re-ceptacle of hate. I will tryto avoid buying the follow-ing.

1: Car insurance from“Flo,” the gal dressed inwhite and the little greenanimal from Australia.

2: A new car of any makesave, for a Bentley. Theydon’t advertise, do they?

3: Whatever “TheMostInteresting Man In TheWorld” drinks. I’ll staythirsty.

4: A cable TV company that doesn’t offer alive voice 24/7 to help restore my picture. I’dlike to remind those companies that everyonein India and Panama does not speak perfectEnglish.

5: Furniture stores with sales every otherday. Let me throw in stores that just sell mat-tresses.

6: Any drug that takes five seconds to tellme what its for and 55 seconds to tell me how Ican die if I take it.

7: The investment firms that advise me howcheap is their cost to me.

8: A movie whose preview that shows me asevered head, lots of screams, and, actors Inever heard of before.

9: Every local attorney who advertises theywill get me a big settlement and get it quickly.

10: The physician who can see me in threemonths, or, if he/she gets a cancellation, evensooner.

Last week’s questionThe House has passed an exemp-

tion from federal law to allow theDel-ta Queen to once again operate as anovernight passenger vessel. WouldyoufeelsafeasapassengerontheDel-ta Queen?Why or why not?

“Iwould love to be apassenger onthe Delta Queen if the cost wasn't soexorbitant. I think it's great that theDeltaQueenisstill inoperationtore-mind us of our past mode of trans-portation that didn't involve cars.”

E.E.C.

“I would feel more safe on theDelta Queen, for if were to sink, atleast you could swim to shore. If Iwere to ride with the government, Ithink we just keep sinking and noway to be saved.”

D.J.

“Why not? The Delta Queen stillappears as a sound vessel, and I amcertain all maintenance is up to paraccording to maritime and CoastGuard regulations. Yes, I would loveto take a trip on this historic boat.”

O.H.R.

“Whatpartofwoodensuperstruc-ture ships not being safe for over-night passengers don't we under-stand? This regulation was put inplace for a good reason. Sentimen-

tality is not a reasonable justifica-tion to risk people's lives.”

F.S.D.

“Iwould feel verysafeon theDel-ta Queen. This boat has been a longtradition on the Ohio River and atrue spirit for the city of Cincinnati.The company that owns the Queenhas taken very good care of it.

Ed Seurkamp

“I remember this same battle be-ingwagedover40yearsagoandsev-eral times in the interim. I have noidea why Congress cannot resolvethis matter once and for all.

“I would love the opportunity totake a lengthy cruise on the Queen,confident the crew is well-trainedand the boat is equipped with ade-quate safety gear.

“The whole issue in the past wasthe wooden hull of this vessel. Withthe lock systems on the waterwaysand the radar/sonar and other mod-ern navigational aids, I very muchdoubt a fatal accident could occur

due to the hull's material alone.”R.V.

“As much as the Delta Queen ispart of Cincinnati tradition, I per-sonallywouldnotwant to spend timetraveling on an old wooden boat.

“While I like adventure, theDQ isway past its prime and it was takenout of service for good reason, it isdangerous. It does not meet federalstandardsandMr.Chabot is tryingtomake pointswith the old folks on theWest Side by endangering them.

“But the Delta Queen is due forretirement. Let her go.”

J.Z.

“I think that it is great that theDelta Queen will be taking passen-gers in the near future. Mywife andI would love to ride on it.

“As far as being safe on the boat Iamsure itwill beup to the task,but ifsomething happened we would onlybe a phone call away fromhelp. Bra-vo.”

side equipment.Right now he’s“salting thingsaway for thewinter,” mean-ing he’s servic-ing the tiller,tractor, boat andlawn mowers fora winter rest inthe garage.

Our bell pep-pers have finally

ripened, so I was able to addthem to an antipasto tray Imade for a friend’s rehearsaldinner.

Easy antipastoNeed a stunning and deli-

cious appetizer? An antipastotray fills the bill. It is not onlyappealing to the eye, butthere’s something on the trayfor everybody.

Go to your olive bar and asklots of questions. I went to theEastgate Jungle Jim’s olive barand was able to sample what-ever I wanted. This will help inchoosing the right ingredientsfor your budget and guests. Idid choose olives without pits.Since prosciutto is expensive, Ibought a few slices to garnishand folded them over on top ofthe antipasto. I also sprinkleda can of chickpeas on top. Thenice thing about this recipe isthat it can be assembled a dayahead. For the sauce, I useCaesar salad dressing withfresh herbs stirred in. I drizzlethe dressing on right before Iserve it.

My favorite two-waybrisket

Brisket is a cut of meatfrom the lower chest or breastof beef. It is amazingly flavor-

ful, but tough, so slow cookingis a must. Either way you cookthis – in the oven or in a slowcooker – the brisket turns outtender and so delicious. Servewith mashed potatoes or noo-dles.

3 pounds beef brisket2 cups chili sauce1 cup brown sugar, packed1 cup beef broth1 very large onion, sliced1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves3 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste

Oven: Preheat oven to 325degrees. Combine chili sauce,sugar and broth. Pour abouthalf of this in the bottom ofroasting pan. Place brisket onsauce, fat side up. Distributeonion, cloves and bay leavesover brisket. Pour rest ofsauce over. Cover and bake

50-55 minutes per pound oruntil meat is fork tender. Re-move brisket from pan andremove bay leaves and wholecloves. Cut brisket across thegrain. Skim off any fat fromtop of sauce. Pour sauce overbrisket (or put sauce in refrig-erator overnight and the fatwill congeal on top for easyremoval. Then reheat withbrisket in 375 degree oven,covered, or in microwave).

Slow cooker: I like to cookmine 9-12 hours or so on low,until meltingly tender.

Perfectly grilledsalmon/seafoodfollowing the 70/30 rule

Have the grill hot, lightlybrush both sides of fish withoil, and start grilling skin sideup with the grill closed. (Or

put a disposable pan over thefish). Leave it alone until about70 percent of the fish is doneon first side. You’ll know it bythe looks and also if it willrelease easily. This allows fishto form a nice crust. Turn itand finish cooking. The rule ofabout 7-10 minutes per inch ofthickness works, also. Startwith 7 minutes and go fromthere.

Readers want to know:Honing steels: “My honing/

knife steel doesn’t work any-more. Should I replace it?”Run your thumbnail aroundthe circumference of the tool.If you can still feel grooves,your steel is still useful. It ismagnetized to pick up micro-scopic fillings that come offthe knife’s blade. It’s a goodidea to rub the steel with a

cloth after use so groovesdon’t get clogged. Now unlessthe honer has diamond chips init, most steels won’t sharpen adull knife (they restore theknife’s bite by straighteningthe microscopic “teeth” at theedge that fold with use). Noweven if your honing steel is ingood condition, sometimes aknife doesn’t respond to hon-ing. If that happens, it’s time toget the knife sharpened pro-fessionally.

These days scammershave taken to the In-ternet to steal your mon-ey with fake emails,fraudulent websites andmisleading sales offers.While Internet scams arenumerous, several con-sumers still report re-ceiving scams throughthe mail.

A Fort Thomas manwrote me about a creditcard offer he receivedfrom AmTrade Interna-tional Bank. It offeredhim a credit card with “A$3,600 Visa credit limit!Guaranteed!”

The man sent whatwas supposed to havebeen a refundable $900fee, but says he neverreceived the credit cardnor a pre-paid gas cardthat was also promised.The 74-year-old man sayshe’s on a fixed income sothe loss of all that moneyhit him pretty hard.

Al-though hepaid bycheck andcontactedthe Feder-al Bureauof Investi-gation andthe Feder-al TradeCommis-

sion, he was told nothingcould be done to recoverhis money. Such scamsare very popular so re-member never send mon-ey to someone who prom-ises to loan you money orextend credit.

A Hyde Park womanwrote me to say sheknew immediately theletter she received was ascam. It allegedly camefrom Publishers ClearingHouse and used the com-pany’s real address. The$1.5 million she was toldshe won was anything

but real. She knew not tobother calling the longdistance phone numbergiven to claim her win-nings.

AWyoming womanreceived a letter tellingher she qualified for anaward of two round-tripairline tickets. She sus-pected it was a scambecause there was noreturn address and theletter had bad punctua-tion. So she too was toldto call a phone number toclaim her prize, allegedlyvalued at nearly $1,400.

Better Business Bu-reau says this is just aphishing scam intendingto steal people’s personalinformation. This womannever entered a contestto receive this award oftwo free airline ticketsplus two nights a majorhotel.

Fortunately, just likethe Hyde Park woman,

the Wyoming womandidn’t call the numberand says she wants towarn others about thisscam. Many peopleacross the nation havereceived this letter.

One person who calledwas told they first had toattend a timeshare salespresentation before theycould receive the ticketsthey won. Another per-son who called was toldthey had to give theircredit card number overthe phone.

One of the most fre-quent scams I’ve run intoinvolves criminals send-ing you what appears tobe a real check for thou-sands of dollars. You’resupposed to deposit thecheck, keep some of themoney, then wire the restto the sender.

Unfortunately, manyconsumers learn too latethat the check they re-ceived in the mail is pho-ny – and now they’re onthe hook to repay thebank for the good moneythey wired to the crimi-nals.

Bottom line, the mailis still full of scams thesedays so you have to be-ware.

IndianHill schools willlaunch an Indian Hill Per-forming Arts Academythis fall.

“Fine arts helps to cre-ate a more well-roundedindividual,” saidLisaHar-ris, a speech communica-tions teacher and theaterdirector at Indian HillHigh School.

Harris developed theprogram based on her re-cent experience with theBroadway TeachersWorkshop which she at-tended this summer.

“Broadway has be-come very family-friend-ly with their produc-tions,” said Harris, who isa resident of Kenwood.“There are now moreyoung performers in theproductions.”

She said a focus of this

A new geology class atIndian Hill High Schoolpromises to rock.

“It’s not your father’sgeology class,” joked sci-ence teacher Steve Mey-ers.

“It’s not (just) the

shake-a-box-of-rocksclass.”

Meyers, who alsoteaches physics, biologyandchemistry, saidhehasbeen petitioning theschool to offer such aclass for quite awhile.

A$7,500grant fromtheDorothy Koch FamilyFoundation helped make

it a reality. The grant pro-vided funding for severalmicroscopes that will al-low for more detailedstudy.

“I’ve always enjoyedteaching, but there issomething about teachingyour first love,” saidMey-ers, who had been a fieldgeologist for BP Oil in the

1970s.Meyers said most

schools provide studentswith a cursory examina-tion of geology duringtheir freshman year. Thiscourse, which is for ju-niors and seniors, will of-fer a more comprehen-sive look at the field.

“I knew it would be areally fun and beneficialclass,” said senior SamKing, of Symmes Town-ship.

“I’vebeen interested inenvironmental sciencesince I was a little kid.This (course) ties intothat.”

This sentiment wasechoed by senior JakeBecker, who is also a resi-dent of Symmes Town-ship.

“It’s so much morethan rocks,” said Becker.

“You’re learning aboutthe earth and what you’reliving on.”

The students have re-cently been studying ra-dioactive decay rates andwill eventually be usingthe petrographic micro-scopes obtained by thegrant.

“I hope the students(develop) a love of geolo-gy,” said Meyers.

“If they have an inter-est, it can be a great ca-reer.”
