With a push for another his-toric district and details aboutCleoHosbrook’s donation to thecity coming to light, MadeiraCity Council is facing criticismfrom residents about how it hashandled the historic houses.

Though council did not dis-cuss the city-owned historicHosbrook and Muchmorehouses, at 7014 and 7010 MiamiAve., theywere the focus on thepublic comment portion of themeeting Oct. 13

Resident Todd Woellner toldthe council he has filled out theapplication to add what is howtheMuchmore Historic Area to

the National Park Service’s Na-tional Register of HistoricPlaces as a historic district.

“I request the city of Madei-ra take no further action re-garding these properties, pend-ing final review by the govern-mental agencies involved,” hesaid.

Woellner is a member of thecitizens’ group behind Issue 13,the ballot initiative to make ahistoric district in Madeira. Hesaid in an interview the nationalhistoricdistrictwill be separatefrom the local one.

“A lot of communities haveboth. The national district isveryhonorable.Theperimetersof thedistrictwill bedecidedbythe National Park Service,” he

said.Woellner also read in front of

council parts of five letters be-tween the city of Madeira andHosbrook’s attorney about thecity receiving the propertiesfromHosbrook.

The first letter written in1987 is fromDanRandolph,Ma-deira’s solicitor at the time, toHosbrook’s attorney. It reads,“There is a possibility thatfunds will be made available tothe city of Madeira for acquisi-tion of property owned by MissHosbrook. The city would pre-fer that you communicate thistoMissHosbrook instead of herreading about it in the newspa-per.”

The second letter reads the

city would like to work some-thing out with Hosbrook for thecity to immediately “undertakethe restoration” of the Much-more house. The third lettersays the city wants to preserveandprotect the property as partof the city.

The fourth letter, from Hos-brook’s attorney to thecity, saysshe would like to donate herproperty to the city.

The fifth letter, which wassent from Randolph to the cityin 1992, reads, “Miss Hosbrookdid make the donation of thefirst parcel to the city with thespecific understanding thatbothparcelswith their standingbuildings were to be pre-served.”

Woellner told council the let-ter goes on to say if the city hadnot made the impression that itwas going to create a historicdistrict, the properties proba-bly would not have been donat-ed.

“Itwouldbeappear thatMissHosbrook, at an advanced age,was threatened by the city ofMadeira, threatened that shewould loss the home she hadlived in all her life, threatenedthat she would loss the home ofher ancestors, threatened togive up her property. I can onlyimagine how terrified shewas,”Woellner said.

Woellner said he found the

That’s just wishful thinkingfor most kids her age. Butthrough a drawing she createdand an idea from her parents,Kalleyhasbecome the illustra-tor of a new Madeira-basedapp company.

Kalley’s Machine, an inter-active app that introduces chil-

dren to a fictitious food-creat-ing machine, launched Sept. 11on the Apple App Store and re-mains in the “Best New Apps”sectionof thehomepage.Anditwas created entirely by Kal-ley’s family.

“Wedid every single thing,”said Carrie Alexander, Kal-ley’s mom. “We drew it ... wedid the sound effects, we didthe music.”

Carrie’s husband, Jon Alex-ander, has a background ingraphic design and experienceworking in app development

and brought the app into fru-ition.

JonAlexanderworkedfromhome as a freelancer when hisdaughters – Kalley and 8-year-old Corbett – were young. Sev-eral years ago he took a full-timejobDowntownwithastar-tup called Crowdwise, and thegirls missed him being home.

“When (Jon Alexander) ex-plained he needed to work sowe could buy things like food,Kalley drew this picture, and it

Rusty’s Ristorante, the old-fashioned restaurant on BlueAsh Road in Deer Park, hascalled it quits after 30 years.The last night to have theirhomemade lasagna, liver andonions or friedchickenwasOct.11.

Owner Marlene Smith saysshe’s headed for her couch. Shehas owned the Italian/Americanrestaurant for the last 17 years,after working there since itopened and then buying it fromits original owner, Rusty Har-ris.

“We just never camebackaf-ter the recession,” she said. “Wereally need regulars who comein every week, and we weren’tgetting that.”

Rusty’s did seem like a res-taurant caught in a time periodseveral decades ago, with its

prime rib and baked potatoes,dimly lit interior and old-fash-ioned bar. It wasn’t on a maindrag and its regular customerswere aging and not being re-

was really important toher,” Carrie Alexandersaid.

Kalley took the picturewith her everywhere. Butshe had not yet turned 5,and her parents initiallyhad a hard time figuringout the significance of thedrawing.

“She explained that itwas amachine, and if (JonAlexander) built the ma-chine it would make foodfor us so he didn’t have togo to work any more,”Carrie Alexander said.

So about a year ago,when the startup Jon was

working for failed and hewas back at home free-lancing, the family decid-ed to devote some time tocreating the app.

As of Friday, the app,which costs $2.99 in theApp Store, had beendownloaded 777 times,Carrie Alexander said.

What’s more impres-sive, said Brad Mahler,who has worked with JonAlexander and launchedhis own startup in May, isthat Apple featured “Kal-ley’s Machine” on its ho-mepage.

“That’s a rarity, andthat’s huge,” he said.“That’s a huge mark ofquality.”

The app is an interac-tive story. It featuresdrawings of Kalley’s Ma-chine, and mirrors herstory of creating thedrawing when her fatherreturned to work. The us-ers learn how to use Kal-ley’s food-making ma-chine just as Jon Alexan-der did.

What it’s about: Anamendment to the Ma-deira Charter to makethe Hosbrook House,7014 Miami Ave.; Much-moreHouse,7010MiamiAve., and Train Depot,7701 Railroad Ave., partof a “historic district.”

What it would do:The propertieswould bemade part of a “historicdistrict.” But the city ofMadeira does not have ahistoric district, sothere is little thecitycando toenforce theamend-ment.

How things arenow:Thepropertiesarepart of the MuchmoreHistoric Area, whichdoes not have any re-quirements or restric-tions.

How much it willcost: No direct cost toresidents.

Argument for:ManyMadeira residents havecriticized the city fornot doing enough to up-keepthehistorichouses.A group of Madeira citi-zens’ intention was tocreate a historic dis-trict, with regulations

about what could bedone to thehouses. If theamendment were topass, the group plans tohaveanotherone toclar-ify it andoutline the reg-ulations.

Argument against:City Solicitor Bob Mal-loy said because theamendment does notcreate a historic dis-trict, there is nothingthe city canenforce. If itwere to pass, the citycould challenge it by le-gal action or nullify orclarify it with anotheramendment.

Who’s for it:Theciti-zens group. The groupwas able to get morethan 600 signatures insupport of the amend-ment, only 229 wereneeded to get it on theballot.

Who’s against it:Most of city council.Some members wereconcernedaboutputtingrestrictions on the city,others were worriedabout the possible fu-ture costs if legal actionhas to be taken.

Deer Park High School

»Deer Park Junior/SeniorHigh School conducted its sec-ond annual AP and Dual Enroll-ment parent night to informDeer Park parents of the manycollege credit opportunities theschool offers its students.

AlongwithseveralDeerParkHigh School AP and dual enroll-ment teachers, there were rep-resentatives from the Univer-sity of Cincinnati, Xavier Uni-versity and Cincinnati State.

This school year, Deer ParkHigh School is offering 10 APcourses compared to seven lastyear. The new editions to thisyear’s offerings include APChemistry, AP Human Geogra-phy, and AP Psychology.

The high school will also bol-ster their dual enrollmentcourses for the 2014/2015 schoolyear by addingAPbiology, anat-omy and physiology to the dualenrollment catalog.

“It is encouraging to see thenumber of AP/Dual Enrollmentclasses offered at the highschool. Each yearmore of theseclasses are offered and morestudents are taking advantageof this opportunity to advancetheir education. It was excitingto to have XU become involvedwith dual enrollment along withCinti State and UC,” said AngieWinter, Deer Park parent.

For information onAPand/ordual enrollment, contact eitherthe high school principal LarryKnapp, the 10th-12th grade col-lege and career readiness coun-selor Corrie Madden, or visitwww.deerparkcityschools.org/junior-senior-highschool/APDual-Enrollment.cfm.

Wenstrup told the studentshow important it is to speak upand let Washington, D.C. knowwhat is important and what

needs togetdone--hegavemanywonderful examples of thisworking.

After the speech, the stu-dents asked many insightfulquestions both about the worldat large andwhat's happening inthe 2nd District.

Holmes ElementaryLindseyKroeger,a2005Deer

Park graduate, is a teacher atHolmes Elementary this year,workingas intervention special-ist for the school.

She is an Otterbein Univer-sity graduate.

Why did you become aneducator?

“I became an educator be-cause I’ve alwayswanted to be apart of something bigger thanmyself. Teaching affords methis opportunity. When I was alittle girl, I would rush homefrom school so that I could playschool. I did this for years! I amateacherbecauseI trulybelievethat all children have the abilityto learn. I pride myself in help-ing every child recognize theirpotential and being a part ofhelping them reach that poten-

tial. I ama teacher because I en-joybeinga learner.ThestudentsI have worked with have taughtmemore about life than anyoth-er experience I’ve had to date. Ihave chosen to become a teach-er because I have sat in manyclassrooms and before manyteachers that I considered to besome of the best teachers in theworld. As a child in I was in-spired by so many of my ownteachers. Evenwhen I didn’t be-lieve in myself, my teacherstaught me that any dream waspossible. If I put mymind to ac-complishing any goal, I couldmake it happen. I became aneducator because I want to be apart of growing young mindsand turning them into confidentworld-changers.”

In three to fourwords, howdo you see your most impor-tant function as an educator?

“Asaneducator,mymost im-portant functions begin and endwith building belief in oneself.Once one discovers how it feelsto believe in oneself, they be-come unstoppable.”

Why did you choose DeerPark?

“I chose Deer Park becauseit’swheremyheart is grounded.I grewupand lived inDeerParkfor 25 years. The small-townfeel and a community that looksout for one another is somethingon which you can’t put a pricetag.DeerParkhumblesme.Iamreminded, daily, of how blessedI am to be a part of a communitythat puts others before them-selves. The positive energy iscontagious and it inspires me tobe a better version of myself. Iam thankful to be a part of theDeer Park family. I feel like I’mhome again.’

What is the funniest thingthat happened during yourfirst fewweeks at Deer Park?

“In my first few weeks atDeer Park, the funniest thingthat happened to me was beingcalled out by Mr. Langdon forthe ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.This really set the tone for meandmademe feel right at home.I quickly realized that we are inthistogether,andthat it’sokaytolaugh at ourselves and havesome fun!”

What do you enjoy doing inyour spare time?

“In my spare time, I enjoyspending my time with my hus-band,Andrew,andour two-year-old chocolate Lab, Boeing. Welove to have our family over forcook-outs and s’mores aroundthe firepit. I also love to cook!Outside of these things, I love tobe outdoors and on the move. Ihave recently found a passion inthe world of triathlon and run-ning half marathons.”

What is your favoritebook?“I have three all-time favor-

ite books.My first favorite bookis ‘The Slight Edge’ by Jeff Ol-son. My second favorite book is‘The Ultimate Gift’ by Jim Sto-vall. My third favorite book is‘The 21 Irrefutable Laws ofLeadership’ by John Maxwell.Each of these books have pro-videdme tools to put inmy tool-boxfor life. Ihave learnedaboutleadership, life, and connectingmy unique gifts into my heartfor teaching and growing youngminds.

Is there anything else you

would like to share with thecommunity?

»Susan Blosser is the newmu-

sic teacher at Holmes Primaryand Amity elementaries.

She is a graduate of the Uni-versity of Indianapolis.

Why did you become aneducator?

“I lovemusicandbelievethatit has an important place in thelives of all students regardlessof their background or ability.”

In two or three words, howdo you see your most impor-tant function as an educator?

“To care about each and ev-ery child as a student and as aperson “

Why did you choose DeerPark?

“Deer Park has such a richmusical tradition and strongcommunity support for the mu-sic program. I feel every daythat I am helping to carry on alegacy that was started in thiscommunity years ago and con-tinues to grow stronger eachyear.”

MADEIRA — Defense is to beplayed with great speed, inten-sity and physicality. That’sprobably why Madeira juniorlinebacker Jake Megois playsdefense.

Megois leads the CincinnatiHillsLeague in tackles (98), he’ssecond in sacks (6) and he’s haddouble digit tackles in all sevengames (5-2 overall).

“He’s the leader on our de-fense,” said Madeira coachMike Shafer, now in his eighthseason. “He can play sideline tosideline…we expect him tomake big plays every week.”

Shafer, who said Megois is

usually around theball all night,explainedwhy Jake is so talent-ed: “He understands the game,he understands where we’retrying to attack the offense andhe plays hard.”

Megois (6-foot-1, 195) hasstartedfor theMustangsatmid-dle linebacker since he was asophomore.

“We realized early last year(2013 season) during two a daysthat he could play and be a lead-er,” said Shafer.

So Shafer said they threwhim in there and he’s been per-manent fixture ever since. Me-gois was just happy to be in themiddle of the defense, a spotwhere he can fly around andmake plays.

“I’m constantly trying toplay downhill, 200 miles anhour, aggressive all the time,”Megois said.

Megois has played18 varsitygames and he has 189 tackles,nine sacks and four intercep-tions. Megois said the Mus-tangs’ defense is a family; “it’slike having 10 brothers outthere.”

That brotherhood startedwhen Megois was 6 years old.He said there are probablyabout15 teammateswhostartedplayingtogetherontheMadeiraColts.

In its fivewinsMadeira’s de-fense is allowing just 14 points

Not much escapes Madeira linebacker Megois

INDIANHILL— It isnev-er just a two-team race,but over the last 10 yearsthe Cincinnati HillsLeague champion in girlssoccer has either been In-dian Hill High School, Ma-deira or both.

This year, like last, it’sboth.

In their regular seasonfinale Oct. 8, coach AmyDunlap’s Lady Bravesscored early against Ma-deira, then watched as theAmazons added a goal inthe end to tie 1-1. WithMa-deira’swinoverDeerParkOct. 13, both teams fin-ished 5-0-2 in the CHL toshare the crown a secondconsecutive season.

Over the past decade,IndianHill haswon five ti-tles andMadeira, six.

Dunlap’s crew nowstarts another tournamentrun in Division II, whileMadeira is now Division

III. Unlike 2010, when theAmazons ended IndianHill’sundefeatedseason inNovember on penaltykicks in overtime, theycan’t meet again.

“They don’t rememberthat,” Dunlap said. “Thisgroup really wants to es-tablish their own identity.They don’t want to talkabout the past.”

This Indian Hill squadfeaturedeight seniorswho

were honored prior to theMadeira game. SophieBell, Sydney Gloster,Grace McCormick andMacyMiller are all fourth-year varsity players. Add-ing to the leadership of theteam are Lauren Sahlfeld,TaylorLance,BeatrizHer-nandez and Carissa Con-tra.

“Each class is special,”Dunlap said. “This is a spe-cial one. There’s eight ofthem. They’re very ener-getic and dedicated.”

Seemingly, every otheryear there’s a big seniorclass at Indian Hill. Lastyear, there were onlythree.

The team effort hasbeenledbyfairlybalancedscoring. At presstime, ofthe top 25 goal-scorers inthe CHL, seven of themwere from Indian Hill.Freshman Morgan Jack-son and seniorMiller haveled the squad.

standout, Taylor Jackson.Bloodlines have benefitedthe Lady Braves and Dun-lap is looking forward formore fresh, yet familiarfaces.

“Piper Fries and SophieBell have younger sistersonJV,”Dunlapsaid.“MacyMillerhasayoungersistercoming through in a fewyears.”

In addition to the eightseniors, Dunlap has fivejuniors on the roster, twosophomores and threefreshmen. Other ninth-graders have been orcould be invited up for thepostseason.

“We have three or fourdynamic freshmen thathave provided great min-utes,” Dunlap said.

Other players, like LexiCarrier have switched po-sitions to help the team.Now a junior, Carrier wasa goalkeeper her fresh-man year, then a defenderlast season with EllieSchaub coming in at goal.She’s slowly making herway forward as Carriernow roams the midfieldfor the Lady Braves.

INDIAN HILL — Cincin-nati Country Day Schoolhas namedGreg Ross thenew head coach of theboys varsity basketballteam.

Ross has been the as-sistant coach of the boysvarsity basketball teamfor the last 12 years andtook over as the interimhead coach in the middleof last season. The teamfinished 7-3 over the final10 games.

“Naming Greg Rossthe boys varsity basket-ball coach was an abso-lute pleasure,” said ChrisMilmoe, director of ath-letics. “He is knowledge-able about the game ofbasketball, his commit-ment to the school is un-questioned and his pas-sion forworkingwith stu-

dent-ath-letes isexception-al.”

Rosshasworked atCincinnati

Country Day School forthe last 14 years, servingas associate athletic di-rector and coaching foot-ball and basketball.

“This is one of thehighlights of my career,”Ross said. “It has alwaysbeenoneofmygoals tobethe head coach of theboys varsity basketballteam at Cincinnati Coun-try Day School. I believewith my experience andthe tradition of excel-lence at Cincinnati Coun-try Day School, we canachieve great things

here.”Ross has high expecta-

tions for the team thisyear and moving for-ward. He plans to run anopen style of basketball.“The players are the fo-cus, not the system,” hesaid. “We need to be ableto adapt our strategiesandgameplanaround theathletes on the team.”

Defensively, Rossplans to run an aggres-sive and swarming styleof defense thatwill be thecalling card of the team.“Wewill beknownforourdefensive intensity.”

Ross lives in UnionTownship with his wife,Michelle, and two daugh-ters, Catherine andMadelyn. Madelyn is athird-grader at Cincin-nati Country Day School.

“They lost the playoffin the district and theydidn’t feel good,” Bohnesaid. “That’s something Ilike about them.”

He also likes not hav-ing to rely on one player.All of Moeller’s startershave shot memorablerounds.

Those who don’t shootat all were on the coursesupporting the blue andgold. Some teams only

bring five;Moeller bringsa gallery. Several Crusad-er golfers joined thegroup who had adaptedthemantra, “Whynotus?”all season.

The titlematchwas thegrand finale for senior tri-captains Quinn Sullivan,Ben Sattler and NickGruber.

“Quinn (Sullivan) is go-ing to finish in the topthree or four in career av-erage for Moeller golf-ers,” Bohne said. “Ben(Sattler) just committedto Ohio University to playcollege golf and Nick(Gruber) has been a start-er for us the last threeyears. They’ve been greatcaptains and I’m going tomiss them.”

A publication of

Madeira City Council hasworked for months planningfor future use of the Much-more Historical Area alongMiami Avenue in a transparentprocess with multiple opportu-nities for community input.

There are no backroomdealings, no ulterior motives,no pre-conceived plans forwhat will take place – just aslow, deliberate process ofevaluating options, interestsand financial impact.

The public has been advisedat every step where Councilhas kept options open for dis-cussion, and when possibilitieshave been closed out. For ex-ample, Council publicized inMay that multiple site planoptions could be considered,including keeping the struc-tures exactly as they are todayall the way to razing one orboth buildings. As the Econom-

ic Develop-ment Commit-tee workedwith communi-ty inputthroughout thesummer, ourfinal recom-mendationseeks to retainthe uniqueMiami Avenuestreet views

while allowing changes on therest of each property.

Council has now adoptedthree goals for the MuchmoreHistorical Area, allowing us topreserve Madeira history in avibrant downtown retail cen-ter.

Goal 1: Optimize economicbenefit to community, via di-rect and indirect revenue.

Goal 2: Stimulate consumerspending in Madeira.

Goal 3: Preserve uniquecharacter of DowntownMadei-ra, recognizing historical sig-nificance.

It is important to note, the7010/7014 Miami Avenue prop-erties were given to the citywithout specific requirementsfor use of structures or land,nor were any funds designatedfor preservation and ongoingmaintenance. Careful reviewof financial implications asso-ciated with city ownership isrequired for Council to evalu-ate how community funds arespent.

Recent analysis suggestsaverage $10,000/year deficits ifthe city owns the properties,versus significant upsidetransferring the properties toprivate ownership. Privateownership, with some restric-tions on types of business (nobanks) andMiami Avenue

street views, allows futureowners to invest in improve-ments and bear the cost direct-ly for ongoing maintenanceand property tax. City govern-ment is definitely not in thereal estate business, but can’tafford to overlook the cost tothe community if we retainownership.

Don’t be misled about whathappens if a proposed charteramendment is approved by anaffirmative vote on the No-vember ballot. This amend-ment creates a Historic Dis-trict that still lacks definitionto be eligible for preservationgrants or other funding sourc-es. The community would beforced to support assets drain-ing our budget every year withill-defined criteria.

Beware, the activists plac-ing this amendment on theballot are already contemplat-

ing future ballot measures toclarify this mess, with eachattempt costing the community$5,000 to $10,000 to fulfill legalobligations associated with theballot issue.

As a concerned taxpayer, Iconfess I personally am frus-trated by community dollarsgoing to ballot expenses in-stead of services like limb, leafand large item collection,street repairs, recreationalprograms and more that beau-tify and enrich our community.Stop the madness, please. ThisCouncil is working faithfullyon your behalf to optimizehistoric charm, costs, and fu-ture growth in our beautifulcommunity.

The truth is that every reg-istered voter is the employerof every elected official. Youdecide who to hire. Pleaseconsider hiring me as the nextHamilton County ProbateCourt Judge.

For the past 15 years I havebeen a sitting judge in Hamil-

ton County,presidingmore than33,000 cases.Prior to be-coming ajudge, I was anassistant pros-ecuting at-torney and aprobate lawyerfor 11 years.The experi-

ence and knowledge that Ihave gained in my 31-plusyears in the courtroom are

invaluable and will help me toserve the residents of our com-munity with respect and fairconsideration for all.

Along with my fellowjudges, I have also made toughbudget cuts to help the countythrough difficult financialtimes. Because judicial educa-tion is vital, I chose to furthermy education by receiving aDiploma of Judicial Skills fromthe American Academy ofJudicial Education.

If you choose to hire me asthe next Hamilton County

Probate Judge, I will workdiligently to help those whocannot help themselves. I willlook out for the interests of theelderly who need the care of aguardian, reviewing everyguardianship in the county toensure proper care.

Six years into our so-called economicrecovery, jobs continue to be the topissue facing Ohio. I’ve built two smallbusinesses from the ground up and mywife also owns one. Between us weemploy up to 15 people at any giventime.

I’m running for staterepresentative to bringmy job-creating experi-ence to Columbus. Iknow what it takes torun two businesses,meet payroll and en-sure their success toprovide for my family,as well as those weemploy. The jobs cli-mate in Ohio has im-proved over the pastfour years, but there is

still much left to do.These adult life experiences are

indispensable for an elected official.While I congratulate my opponent forgraduating law school in May afterseven years in Columbus and wish himthe best when he takes the bar exam, Ihave 12 years of real-life experiencepracticing law. I’ve stood with clients asthey face foreclosure, hired and em-ployed attorneys and legal staff, andhandled a complex mine issue thatsaved over a thousand jobs that stillexist today.

I’ve never run for office, but do haverelevant experience. Twenty yearsworking on campaigns and issues andserving as a legislative aide have taught

me a lot about how government works –and how it often doesn’t.

I got back into public policy a fewyears ago when I saw Cincinnati squan-dering their money on a streetcar whentheir pension fund was in deep trouble,their roads were falling further intodisrepair, and important capital needswere being ignored.

I am the only candidate in this racewho opposes subsidizing the Cincinnatistreetcar with Ohio tax dollars. Ohiocannot waste money on a streetcarwhen important transportation projectslack funding.

This is my first run for public office.I’m not a career politician or a “slick”campaigner. Our government wouldmake more pragmatic decisions and bemore responsive to its citizens if wehad more regular people in office.

While my wife and I love our work,we know our most important job is thatof parent. As the proud father of twosons, 5 and 6, ensuring that Ohio has agreat education system isn’t just anoth-er political issue to me. The 28th Dis-trict is blessed to have excellent public,private and religious schools. It’s whatwe need across Ohio.

I strongly support local control ofour schools, not endless testing andone-size-fits-all mandates from thestate or federal government. I opposeCommon Core, a stance backed by Ohiovoters by a significant margin.

As a taxpayer and voter, what do Iwant frommy elected officials?

The answer is “common sense.”That doesn’t seem too much to ask.Too often we are disappointed bythose we elect. In contrast, I havetried to live up to the trust Hamilton

County voters haverepeatedly placed inme.

Immediately ontaking office Istopped the long-standing practice ofdeducting politicalcontributions fromemployee pay checks.Most other countyoffices followed mylead about a yearlater.

After that, my firsttask was to restore confidence inproperty valuations. I did that byremoving political considerationsfrom setting values, by setting train-ing and certification goals for ourappraisal staff and by holding neigh-borhood conferences across the coun-ty during the six-year reappraisals soproperty owners could review theirtentative new values.

Then I established our FinanceDepartment as an honest, indepen-dent check and balance on everycounty department for which wemake payments. By writing the coun-ty’s checks we can spot questionablevouchers. And we did. In one instanceour refusal to pay for a reported 650-

mile round trip to Cleveland (which isabout 250 miles from here) broughtsignificant, lasting changes in countytravel policies.

Ours was one of the first metropol-itan areas in the country to have aproperty search website. By makingpublic records available we havereduced the opportunity for corrup-tion and saved countless trips to ouroffice by professionals who need anduse our information every day. Thewebsite allows us to communicatewith citizens and even provides esti-mates of individual costs of proposedtax levies. Our IT Department is oneof the best in the region, constantlyupdating our service and often calledto assist other county offices.

But most important to me in keep-ing faith with the voters was mypromise to operate the Auditor’s of-fice in a professional, business-likeway. I did that by reducing our stafffrom174 employees when I took of-fice to 79 today. This was accom-plished through attrition and cross-training over the years. By planningahead we were able to avoid cutbacksand layoffs when the economy tankedin 2008.

My commitment to respectingtaxpayer’s money made me the firstHamilton County Auditor to returnunspent funds to local communities,school districts and taxing entities.

Oct. 15 questionWhat is your favorite

local Haunted House orHalloween display? Whatdo you like about it?

“In 1970 the nation’svery first HalloweenHaunted House ap-peared in Cincinnati. TheSycamore-Deer ParkJaycees in conjunctionwith old radio stationWSAI were responsiblefor it. Denny McKeown,the garden expert, wasthe mastermind of theproject.

“Denny and I becameinvolved with the BobHope House, but thevery best WSAI HauntedHouse was the one at theDolly Cohen Mansion onVictory Parkway. It wasspectacular and my fa-vorite.”

Oct. 8 questionAre you worried about

the Ebola virus? Whatprecautions are you takingand what should public

health officials be doingto prevent an epidemic?

“My worry about theEbola virus comes fromthe positions that thegovernment and the CDChave taken, which ap-pear to be completelypolitical rather thanprudent. How unfair andirresponsible of the gov-ernment to send 3,000 ofour precious militarymembers to performwhat they describe asconstruction work, butwhich will still put themin close proximity to thetransmission of the Ebo-la virus. Medical person-nel who knowingly makethe decision to go workin these countries are tobe commended, but thebottom line is that theseare their own choices.”

As a resident who hasspent the majority ofmy life in HamiltonCounty, I believe we areblessed with a wealth ofgreat neighborhoodsthat appeal to almostevery interest.

We have seen excit-ing development on TheBanks, along the I-71corridor and GreenTownship just to name afew. Many of these com-munities are experi-encing new develop-ment, attracting newresidents and addingjobs. We have manyunique neighborhoodsthroughout HamiltonCounty that offer greatamenities, with reason-able housing, shortercommutes and a modestcost of living comparedto other parts of the

country.We

don’thearenoughgoodnewsaboutHamil-tonCounty,but weactually

had an increase in pop-ulation over the pastcouple years, the largestof any of our surround-ing counties. Along witha net increase in jobs, Iam very optimistic thatthis trend will continue.

As our nation’s econo-my improves, HamiltonCounty is well posi-tioned to prosper, ifgovernment listens toits residents and busi-

ness owners. One keypriority of mine is re-ducing government redtape and regulation, sopeople with new ideascan succeed. Peoplestarting their careersand businesses willdrive our economy, soyour vision and voice iscritical as we moveHamilton County for-ward in the years tocome.

the process.Achievement - It is

unacceptable that nearly40 percent of high schoolgraduates who attendcollege need to take reme-dial classes during theirfreshman year. We haveto do a better job of pre-paring our students forhigher education. Howev-er, a four-year universityis not desirable or afford-able for every student.That is why I want toexpand career technicaleducation opportunities.These courses enablestudents to learn futurework skills that are inhigh-demand by Ohioemployers. A youngmanor woman could become a

all, Ohio’s schools andteachers must be heldaccountable to the com-munities, parents, and thestudents they serve. Iwant to encourage ourbest teachers so theydon’t end up leaving theprofession, and at thesame time, we know thatthere are some educatorswho are failing our stu-dents. We have a respon-sibility to our children tohold poor-performingteachers accountable justlike we would in any otherline of work.

As a loving husbandand father of a 2-year-oldson, Preston, I want noth-ingmore than for my sonto have the same opportu-nities for success that Idid growing up. Inmanyrespects, his futureachievement in life ispredicated on receiving aquality education. I amrunning to make sure thatour children and grand-children, and all of ap-proximately 1.6 millionboys and girls in Ohio,receive the quality educa-tion that they truly de-serve. After speaking

withparentsandteachers,I devel-opedmyThreeA’s forBettersSchoolsPlan:

Ad-vocacy – I

support the full repeal ofCommon Core. When itcomes to education, afederalized top-down, onesize fits all approachsimply will not work. I amnot opposed to standards,but I believe that Ohioansknowwhat’s best forOhio’s classrooms, not

some bureaucrat inWash-ington. If elected, I planto usemy private sectorexperience to build acoalition of parents,teachers, and communityleaders to ensure stan-dards are in place thatbest meets the needs ofstudents in their districts.

I also am a strongadvocate for parochialschools, charter schoolsand a parent’s right tohomeschool. Education istoo important to only begiven one choice. I will doeverything I can to helpimprove and strengthenour traditional publicschools, but I also believethat healthy competitionimproves the quality of

skilledmechanic, welder,HVAC technician, or webprogrammer, while still inhigh school andmeetingtheir traditional academicrequirements. If a studentenjoys working with theirhands, let’s encouragethat passion and provideopportunities for them tosucceed and one daybecome their own boss.

This race is importantfor Ohio. If elected, Ipromise that every actionI make will put the chil-dren first.

OCTOBER 22, 2014 • SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

Well, it’s done. Theentire veggie garden isnow nothing but a flatfield, ready to be plowedunder for the winter.Pumpkins and gourds

have re-placed thepots ofherbs andflowersnear thedoorways.Just forfun, I put alittlepumpkindisplay bythe chick-en coop. It

will be interesting to seehow long it’s undis-turbed by the nightlyfour-footed marauders.

I’m hoping to get toour local farmers’ mar-ket this week to makethis really good andwell-tested recipe forapple butter.

What I love about thisapple butter is its purity,just apples, juice, sugarif you like, and warmingspices.

But there is a secretingredient…

Crockpot applebutter

Wow, this recipe hasbeen making the roundslately. My oldest andbest friend, Carol SpryVanover (you probablyfeel like you know her,I’ve mentioned her thatmuch!) first told meabout this. Carol re-ceived a bunch of applesfrom a friend and madeapple butter. Except forher “secret” ingredient,I couldn’t believe Carol’sis the same recipe I usedyears ago when we hadan apple orchard. Won-derful for sharing withfamily and friends. Oneother thought: I don’tadd as much sugar as itcalls for.

14 nice sized apples2 cups apple juice or

pure apple cider1 cup sugar or how-

ever much you want,for each pint of sievedcooked fruit (see be-low)

1 teaspoon cinna-mon, 1/2 teaspoon eachground allspice andcloves for each pint of

sieved cooked fruit(see below)

1/2 cup “secret” in-gredient: sweet whitewine - Carol used Mos-cato (optional)

DirectionsCore and quarter

apple (do not peel). Com-bine with juice insprayed crockpot. Coverand cook on low for 10-12hours or high for 2 - 4hours. When fruit istender, you’ve cooked itlong enough. Putthrough food mill toremove peel.

Measure cooked fruitand return to crock pot.For each pint of fruit,add up to 1 cup of sugaror other sweetener, 1teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2teaspoon allspice and 1/2teaspoon cloves. Stirwell. Cover and cookagain on high for 6 - 8hours, stirring aboutevery 2 hours.

Remove cover after 3hours or more to allow tocook down to a verythick puree. Add wineduring last hour of cook-ing. Spoon into hot steril-ized jars and processaccording to boilingwater bath canningmethod or cool com-pletely and store infreezer up to 1 year orfrig up to a month.Makes close to 6 cups.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Use a combination ofapples if you can, somesweet, some tart. Theonly one I’d steer clearof is red delicious sincethe flavor doesn’t carrythrough.

Readers want toknow: Floating “severedhands” for Halloweenpunch.

Fill clear plasticgloves (not powdered)with your favorite bev-erage. I like red fruitpunch or somethingclear.

If desired, beforepouring into glove, stirin a few drops of redfood coloring.

Tie gloved hand witha rubber band, securelytightened. Place on cook-ie sheet. If you like,place over a small plas-tic bowl to create a

“clutching” hand. Freezeuntil hard. To removefrom glove, cut belowknot and peel backglove. To assure youdon’t break off fingers,use scissors to cutaround fingers. Place inpunch right before serv-ing.

The Ultimate MeatResource: Cook’s Il-lustrated Meat book. Nokidding, put this hardcover beauty on yourwish list, or grab a copynow.

This comprehensive“bible” of meat cookeryis just what I’d expectfrom Cook’s. You’ll feellike you’re in a cookingclass with each recipe,they are that detailedand tested umpteentimes until the word thatdescribes the recipe is“perfect”.

From slow roastedbone-in pork roast to theperfect roast turkey andeverything in between,nothing is left to chance.There’s also a wealth oftips throughout.

The cool weather thissummer led to a hot trend– reading books. The Pub-lic Library of CincinnatiandHamilton County sawan increase in the numberof people who completedthe Summer LearningProgram.

This year 34,948 read-ers registered for Sum-mer Learning, and 22,092completed the programby logging reading timeand collecting prizes, a 7percent increase over2013. TheBrainCampandFree Summer Lunch por-tions of the SummerLearning Program alsosawan increase inpartici-pation.

“We’re so pleased thatour first year of the ex-pandedSummerLearningProgram was such a suc-cess,” said Diane Smiley,youth services and pro-gramming coordinator.

“We brought parallelprograms under one ini-tiative to provide a broad-er base of services to chil-dren inourcommunities,”Smiley added. “WithBrain Camps and Sum-mer Lunch service atmore Library locations,we engaged thousands ofchildren in a positivelearning environment.New this year was Sum-mer Camp Reading pro-grams that put a specialfocus on children at riskof not reading on gradelevel by third-grade.”

The 22,092 SummerLearning participantswere comprised of 5,079adults, 2,564 teens, 10,769kids and 3,680 preschool-ers. The largest gain in

completions was in thekids category. 70 percentof the children who regis-tered completed the pro-gram, up by 36 percentfrom 2013.

Therewere seven sitesfor the Summer CampReading program and 90participants. Of those 90students, 99 percent hadimproved reading scoresby the end of the six-weekprogram; 40 percent ofthe children in the “atrisk” category at the be-ginning of the programimproved to the “somerisk” or “low risk” catego-ry by the end of the pro-gram; and 57 of the 90children ended the pro-gram in the “lowrisk” cat-egory, which meansthey’re on track to read atthe third grade level bythe end of third grade.

All Library locationsofferedaBrainCamppro-gram this year, withthemes that ranged fromscience and geography tosports and reading. Thetotal Brain Camp atten-dance was 2,558 campers,a 68 percent increasefrom last year’s atten-dance of 1,525.
