The third-grade guaranteemay have brought Ohio Super-intendent of Public SchoolsRichard Ross to Princeton CitySchools, but he sat down withadministrators to talk about thestrengths and challenges of thedistrictbeforevisitingakinder-garten classroom and touringSpringdale Elementary.

Financial constraints andmaking sure students werereading at grade level whenthey entered third-grade wereamong the topics discussed byRoss,PrincetonSuperintendentGary Pack, Springdale Princi-pal Kelly Wilham, Ohio SchoolBoard President Debe Terharand Princeton School Boardmembers Lillian Hawkins, Ma-ry Cleveland, Susan Wyder andSteve Moore.

Sixty-five percent of thePrinceton student body quali-fies for the free and reducedlunch program, an indicator ofincome within a school district,a number that has increasedfrom 32 percent in 2006. This

economic challenge, along witha growing diversity of nativelanguages among the students,has challenged educators to en-sure that students are readingat grade level.

Wilhamexplained to the pan-el that the curriculum includesmethodology that addresses thedistrict’s diverse learners, toidentify them and meet their

need.“We have challenges, andwe

come up with ways to meetthose challenges,” she said. “Bydesign of our program, they re-ceive intervention.”

A midday privilege forWyoming High School seniorsis coming to an end.

Called the senior longlunch, those who scheduled astudy hall during the classtime preceding lunch werepermitted to leave campus for90 minutes each day.

Principal Aaron Marshallsaid the traditionbeganbeforethe school’s cafeteria was en-larged in2000, tohelpalleviatecrowding in the lunch room.

Themiddaybreakwasusedto do homework, work on col-lege applications, socializeand eat lunch outside of schoolgrounds.

Over time,Marshall said hehas received feedback thatthis free time wasn’t beingused appropriately in manycases, and that the instruction-al time before lunch could beused for elective classes aswell.

“There have been growingconcerns on our part,” Mar-shall said. “I have receivedcalls about students having acouple of drinks, or usingdrugs, and then coming backto class, and we’re seeing thatgrow.

“Males and females are go-ing to unsupervised houses,”

Marshall said.“Igotcalls fromresidents about students tear-ing out of the parking lot to bethe first ones in line at Panera,and then speeding back to gethere at 1 p.m.”

He recalled a few fenderbenders, but no major acci-dents.

“I don’t want to paint Wyo-ming High School as the WildWild West, but these com-plaints have been growing,”Marshall said. “It’s time to sayno.

“Enough is enough.”The decision, which takes

effect in the 2014-2015 schoolyear,wasmadewith input, andsupport, from SuperintendentSusan Lang, members of theBoard of Education, schoolstaff and community mem-bers.

Marshall said that after thenotice was issued, the presi-dents of Wyoming HighSchool’s student council andstudentbodycontactedhim, tooffer their support.

Senior privilege won’t beeliminated, though. It will beshifted.

Students will have the op-tion of scheduling classes thatinclude a study at the begin-ningof thedayorat theend,al-lowing them to come to schoollater, or leave early each day.

community, which Wil-ham considers critical tostudent success.

“With this framework,we can be more cohesiveand collaborative as a dis-trict,” she said.

Another aspect of thePrinceton focus on earlychildhood education hasbrought recognition, asPrinceton recentlyearned distinction withinits preschool program.

Four of the six pre-school programs, Glen-dale, Evendale, Spring-dale and Stewart, havebeen awarded the state’s

five star rating, with twoprograms, Heritage Hilland Woodlawn, awaitingevaluation this spring.

A five star-rated pre-school has more staffmembers per child, high-er qualifications amongadministrators and teach-ers; specialized training,and lesson plans for indi-vidual assessments. Therating concludes thatfamilies are valued andthe program provides in-surance, paid leave andbenefits to the staff.

“When we have chil-dren in our preschool pro-gram and kindergarten,and they stay with usthrought the third-grade,they have a 96 percent to100 percent chance of

passing the third gradeOAA,” Wilham said of theOhio Achievemnent As-sessment, or third-gradeguarantee.

Terhar pointed to earlychildhood education aspivotal, and with Prince-ton’s preschool success,asked if the district wasconsideringanexpansion.

Any expansion, as wellas meeting the education-al criteria, requires re-sources, and Pack de-scribed some of the finan-cial constraints Princetonfaces.

“Some of the policiesand procedures lendthemselves to howwealthy you are,” he said,explaining that the loss oftangible personal proper-

ty tax, which made up athird of Princeton’s bud-get, heavily impacted thedistrict since the statefunding formula changedin 2004.

An operating levypassed in 2012 helped, butPrinceton has also had tocutmore than100 jobsandfinances remain tight,Pack said, with annualbudget cuts of $1 millionover three years neededto make ends meet.

The operating levelandanearlierbond levytobuild a newmiddle schooland high school campuspassed with 60 percentvoter approval, Pack said,“but they’re not interest-ed in having us comingback.”

keeps them out ofdumps, where lead frommany items can leachinto the soil. Safely dis-posing of the electron-ics, because of the lead,brings cost to the recy-cler, Weinkam said, soCohen will charge asmall fee.

Other recycling sites,including the HamiltonCounty Recycling and

Solid Waste District,charge a fee for similaritems.

“Depending on thesize and year, a TV ormonitor can contain upto six pounds of lead,which poses potentialhealth risks,” Weinkamsaid. “There is a smallfee in order to properlyand safely dispose ofCRT monitors and TVswith tubes.”

The event is free forReSource member non-profits, with a donationof $10 for individualsand $20 for non-membernonprofits.

Items that can be re-cycled include personalcomputers, routers, mo-dems, phones, fax ma-chines,printersandtele-visions, among others.

Wyoming Youth Ser-vices continues tostrengthen its connectionwithstudents throughdai-ly tutoring and interven-tion services, accordingto the agency’s adminis-trator.

Executive DirectorKimberly Hauserthanked the WyomingBoard of Education dur-ing its April 28 meetingfor its support of thoseand other programs of-fered by the nonprofit so-cial service agency thathas served Wyomingsince 1981.

“Our services are de-signed to support andstrengthenWyoming chil-dren and their familiesthrough programs and ac-tivities that emphasizeprevention, support andvolunteerism,” Hausersaid in her annual report.

Wyoming Youth Ser-vices is a partnership be-tween the city of Wyo-ming,BoardofEducation,Hamilton County MentalHealth andRecovery Ser-vices Board, JuniorWom-an’s Club of Wyoming,Wyoming PSA and mem-bers of the community.

Prevention services in-clude the After SchoolProgram, the Let’s Move,Wyoming, health andwellness campaign, theAlcohol Task Force, andcommunity education fo-rums.

Support programs in-clude family and individ-ual counseling, crisis in-tervention, group and in-classroom counseling,school break programs,involvement with theHigh School Success Pro-gram and Life Skills edu-cation.

Services that incorpo-rate volunteers includeservice learning, Make it

Happen at the middleschool, and GenerationsTogether, which pairsteens with seniors.

Hauser said the schoolboard had contributed$50,000 to WyomingYouth Services in 2013,which was used to offsetcosts of the programs of-fered to students andtheir families.

The After School Pro-gram supported morethan 30 children duringthe academic year, Haus-ersaid,whereskills reme-diation, tutoring andhomework help were of-fered under the directionof Indrani Chatterjee, afifth-grade interventionspecialist at Wyoming

Middle School.“During the 2011-2012

academic year, we imple-mented major changes tothe program, to best meetthe needs of students ingrades five througheight,” Hauser said in herreport. “Through recruit-ment of existing Wyo-ming Middle Schoolteachers, we were able tobridge a longstandingcommunication gap andoffer daily tutoring andintervention services toall participants.”

She described the dataused to measure the pro-gram:

» academic perfor-mance of program partic-ipants;

» school attendance ofprogram participants;and

» number of disciplin-ary contacts and points.

“By providing home-work assistance and skillssupport, it is our conten-tion that children who areactively engaged in ourprogram will performbetter in academic set-tings,” Hauser said. “Fur-ther, we propose that chil-drenwho are active in ourprogram will be more en-gaged in school and morewilling to attend classesand through interactionwith positive role modelsat the program site, willbe more respectful oftheir peers, teachers andschool rules.

“Data for the 2012-2013academic year showedthat our participantsachieved an averagereadinggradeof3.087andan average math grade of2.96,” she said. “They had

an average of 5.03 ab-sences from school, andhad an average of .41 dis-ciplinarycontactsperstu-dent.”

Students in the afterschool program are as-sessed before and aftertheir participation.

“Increases were notedacross all grade levels,with fifth-grade studentsgoing froman initial assetscore of 82 percent to 86percent,” she said. “Sixth-grade students had a tre-mendous leap from 79.9percent to 99.9 percent,and seventh- and eighth-grade students went from82 percent to 85 percent.

Hauser also describedthe agency’s partnershipwith the school districtthrough the Wyoming Al-cohol Task Force, as wellas theLifeSkillsprogram,which teaches childrenprevention and resiliencyskills.

As a graduate of theWyoming Oak AvenueSchool, it has long beenthe desire of ThelmaBal-lew Johnson to clarifythe record regarding theeducation of WyomingAfrican-American stu-dents.

The history ofOakAv-enue School poignantlyillustrates different erasthroughout its existence.Warren Foster and Wal-ter F. Clarke are endeav-oring to write an accu-rate account of the ele-mentary school for blackstudents in grades K-8.Clarke attended the

school, andboth heand Fosterare 1957graduatesof Wyo-ming HighSchool.

AfterJohnsonretired aspresident,they be-came co-presidents

of theWyomingOakAve-nue School Alumni Asso-ciation, including vicepresident Marlene Ear-hart, secretary PattiHogue and other alumni.

Clarke is indebted toSherry Sheffield of the

Wyoming Historical So-ciety and to theWyomingBoard of Education forallowing him access toboard minutes. He hasdiscovered that shortlyafter the Civil War therewas a joint Wyoming/Lockland school districtin Lockland, formed toteach a rather smallnumber of elementaryschool black studentsfrom both communities.In the1870s, a committeestudied the need for anewbuilding inWyomingfor Wyoming students. Alot was purchased, andclasses were held in ahouse on Oak Avenue.

After several years, acommittee of black citi-zens presented a petitionto theBoardofEducationto combine the Locklandand Wyoming studentsagain. Black families inWyoming opposed anychange that would taketheir children from theirown school house, andthings remained as theywere.

In the early 1890s anumber of black stu-dents from Oak Avenueapplied for admission toWyoming ElementarySchool on Wyoming Ave-nuewithout notifying theOak Avenue principal.

They were told to re-turn toOak and their par-ents were invited to aboard meeting that ap-parently never tookplace as there is no rec-ord of it. A month laterthe principal was told hisservices were no longerneeded because all OakAvenue students werebeing transferred to theWyoming Avenue Schoolbuilding.

Theminutes state that

a teacher namedSarahE.Lewis had been appoint-ed to the “coloredschool.” When studentstransferred to the Wyo-ming Avenue school, shewas appointed to teach inthe separate “colored de-partment.” The boardmade alterations to theOakAvenue school build-ing and rented it to thePilgrim Baptist Churchbefore selling it the fol-lowing year.

Lewis continued toteach the “colored” stu-dents until she resignedin 1901. There is no entryfor a teacher in the “col-ored department” there-after. In 1910, sixty ninecitizens petitioned the

board for a better educa-tional facility for blackpupils. Their substantialdemandsweremet, and abond issue passed to pur-chase a site and erect abuilding at 800 Oak Ave-nue. Itwas first knownasthe Colony School.

The years 1911-1956are referred to as theclassical period signify-ing the absence of overtdiscrimination and theuse of black teachers,which in Clarke’s opinionwas a plus. He feels ev-eryone appreciated OakAvenue for the founda-tion it gave them beforemoving into the highschool building on Wyo-ming Avenue.

Plans for the book in-clude more in-depth his-tory, personal stories andcomments from studentsof different eras. If you,or anyone you know,wants to contribute,please contact Clarke at513-242-2618 or Foster at513-751-6637.

Hilltop Elementary Schoolfirst-graders have a deeper un-derstanding of their culture, aswell as thebackgroundsof theirpeers, through a social studiesproject with a personal touch.

Teachers Emily LaValle andJulie Roush tasked the studentsto interview grandparents andother relatives over the winterbreak, to gather informationabout their family histories fora unit titled “Cultures Aroundthe World.”

In class, the students readfolktales, listened to music andwatched videos with other chil-dren describing a typical day inhis or her country.

“We heard other languages,tasted food from other coun-tries, and compared clothing,flags, shelter, entertainment

and money in other countries,”the teachers said.

“Students were introducedtomany countries in class priorto the assignment,” LaVallesaid, “to get them familiar withother continents and wherethey are in the world.”

The students’ research andinterviews were incorporatedinto presentations Jan. 30, at acultural celebration that includ-ed family and friends.

“Students think creativelyand work with their families athome to create this project to-gether, gathering souvenirsfrom travels or pictures of rela-tives to display in their Heri-tage box,” the teachers said.“Having them share with theclass the students get to showwhat they learned.”

Claire Benken and ReganStacey’sartwillbe judged in theNational Scholastic ArtsAwards Competition later thisspring.

The students’ works werechosen from many entriesacross Northern Kentucky,Greater Cincinnati, and South-eastern Indiana based on theircreativity, originality, andcraftsmanship.

According to the ScholasticArt Website, “Founded in 1923,the Scholastic Art & WritingAwards is the nation’s longest-

running, most prestigious edu-cational initiative supportingstudent achievement in the vi-sual and literary arts. The pro-gram has an impressive legacyof being the first to acknowl-edge creative talent and is to-day’s largest source of scholar-ships for creative teens.”

Most of the SUA students’work was based on the theme“Where are You Wearing?” atheme for the school year spon-sored by the Community Ser-vice Learning Office and basedon the same titled book by Kel-seyTimmerman. The themeen-courages consumers to raiseawareness of the global gar-ment industry and poor work-ing conditions overseas.

SHARONVILLE — A little in-timidation never hurt anyone.

Sometimes it helps.PrincetonHighSchool junior

Ryan Shaver admitted feeling“a little bit” of the intimidationfactorplaying inhisfirstCoach-es Classic tennis tournament.“We were just trying to win forour team and help us get firstplace.”

“We” being Shaver and hispartner at second doubles,freshman Damon Foster.

While Viking juniorMatt Ar-royo’s first singles victory ledthe team to an E flight champi-onship April 26, maybe the sur-prise was Shaver and Foster’srunner-up finish to help clinchthe team title.

“That was big for us as ateam and big for them,” Prince-ton head coachRobCaress said.“They’re both kind of scrappy.Good athletes who kind of willtheir way to win sometimes.They don’t give up on a lot ofballs.”

Shaver played footballthrough seventh grade. But hebegan playing tennis with hisparents before joining the mid-dle school team in eighth grade.He didn’t playmuch last seasonon a team loaded with seniors,but is enjoying his chance tocontribute now.

“It’s fun,” he said. “It’s notboring. You’re never sittingaround. You’re always moving.There’s always some action.”

Foster began playing a littleyounger, first pickingupa rack-et at age 10. He also played onthe middle school squad andsaid he’s not intimidated by theleap to the varsity.

“It was just something I feltlike doing,” he said. “Once I gotinto it and started to get used toit, I started getting better at itand I liked it more and more. Itjust prettymuchbecamewhat Iwanted to do.”

Shaver and Foster worked tobecome a team, not just two in-dividuals paired together.

“They’reverypositiveon thecourt,” Caress said. “They’refist bumping each other andstaying pumped up. They don’tget downoneachother and theyreally talk themselves up.”

Foster said Shaver is betterat the net, but has the quickness

to retreat to the baseline andrally when necessary. Shaversaid Foster is better in back andhas a good groundstroke. Ca-ress said both players compli-ment one other and are part ofthe reason he feels good aboutthe direction of his squad.

“Forhavingkindofarebuild-ingyear I’mhappywith thepro-gress of individual guys, indi-vidual parts of their games,”Caress said. “That doesn’t al-ways show up in wins. In the(Greater Miami Conference)we’re all playing for third placebehind (Mason and Sycamore).

“It’s tough,but it also focusesus tobeonourAgame. Itpushesour guys to strive to be better.The first step is being able tocompete, let alone win. Butwhenyou’replayingtheMasonsand Sycamores, if you’re notplaying your best you’re goingto be embarrassed.

“Before you can win, youhavetoget in theconversation. Ithink we’re doing some of that.We’ll have some guys who - iftheydon’t playyear ‘round -willplay some in the summer andkeepup their skills. They’ve gota good attitude about things andthey want to get better.”

The Vikings compete in theGMC tournament starting at 8a.m. May 8 at the Mason HighSchool tennis complex.

“We just want to get betterand better and finish strong inthe GMC,” Foster said.

WYOMING — Keith Hughesspends his daytime hours as ajet pilot based out of CVG.

In spring evenings, he tran-sitions to a different hat in try-ing to pilot the Wyoming HighSchool boys lacrosse team tovictories. Standing on the side-lines at Bob Lewis Stadium,Hughes is always recognizablein his “Crocodile Dundee”style leather hat.

“I bought it 14 years ago,”Hughes said of his headgear.“I’ve been wearing it since Istarted coaching.”

In his ninth year at Wyo-ming, the authentic lid hasseen numerous victories andthe Cowboys are in search ofmore as they enter the secondportion of the season. They re-cently had a tough CincinnatiHillsLeaguebattlewith IndianHill where they cameup short,12-6.

The two could meet again,but only in the postseason. TheBraves led early 5-1 and it was10-2 at the half. From there,Wyoming outscored them 4-2.

“Our biggest rivalry has al-

waysbeen IndianHill through-out the years,” Hughes said.“Wedidn’t comeout on fireandallowed them to get a big leadon us. Finally, in the secondhalf, we started playing ourgame. We won the secondhalf.”

Among Wyoming’s leadersare junior attack JohnHughes,junior midfielder Oliver Rei-

necke, junior defender Hud-son Rogers, junior goalieFrank Barzziza and seniorGriffin O’Gara.

“He’s got a brace on,”Hughes said of O’Gara. “Hehadaknee injury fromfootballtwo years ago. He actuallydidn’t play lacrosse last year.He tweaked it recently and hecan’t do everything.”

O’Gara leads the team inscoring, along with Hughes(who is not related to the headcoach).

“This is the first year Ihaven’t had one of my sons onthe team,”Hughes said. “I nev-er wanted to show favoritism,so Iwasalways trying tohold itback. This year, not having anykids on the team, it’s easier.”

Rogers has also had a slightinjury bug and has been ham-pered along with O’Gara.

“He had an ankle injurycoming over from basketball,”Hughes said.

The Cowboys (7-2 as ofApril 30) could surpass lastyear’s win total, 8, from an 8-9record. They came into the In-dian Hill game ranked No. 18.

“That was nice; it wasone of our goals thisyear,” coach Bill Ferrissaid of winning the GCL.“The record is icing onthe cake. I didn’t know ifwe’d be undefeated (or)at .500. I didn’t knowwhere we’d fall, but Ilove being closer to theundefeated side than the.500 side.”

A publication of

Each year thousands ofOhio’s children enter kinder-garten unprepared to learn thefundamental skills of languageand numbers.

Many of these children havespeaking vocabularies lessthan 500 words, minimal, ifany, reading experiences andlittle or no concept of number.Even verbal associations ofbasic colors and commonhousehold objects are non-existent.

Compared to youngsterswho enter kindergarten fromlanguage enriched environ-ments and at least two years ofprechool education, at riskchildren are furlongs behindeducation’s traditional startingline. Needless to say, life inschool for children who are sofar behind the development of

their peers,measurableprogress inlearning is adaily struggle.

More oftenthan not,schools placechildren whohave deficientbasic literacyand numberskills into

early intervention or remedia-tion programs, which deprivethem of any possible devel-opmental learning experi-ences. Thus, a daily life ofschool failure combined withfrustration and even silentridicule eventually sentencethe students to the lifelongconsequences inherent inOhio’s third-grade guarantee

initiative.Students who fail to achieve

a minimum score on the thirdgrade English language artsassessment become subject tomore intensive interventionsand/or retention.

Countless research studiesclearly indicate that the vastmajority of children who areretained continue to strugglewith academics, incur selfesteem issues, and either dropout in the classroom or schoolaltogether. Unfortunately,when some children reachadulthood they find their wayinto other institutions wheretoo many years of their pro-ductive lives are completelywasted.

If Ohio is serious aboutproviding children subject toeducational failure with an

equal opportunity to achieve,then it should replace thethird-grade guarantee with a“Begin School Ready toLearn!” guarantee. The two-year program should be free toany child who qualifies for agovernment lunch subsidy oridentified as lacking age ap-propriate literacy and numberskills through a validatedpre-K readiness assessment.

The “Begin School Ready toLearn” program should focuson developing each child’sliteracy and number skills inan age appropriate manner.The program’s ultimate goal isfor each child to attain thenecessary readiness skills tomeet the academic expecta-tions of kindergarten.

Early childhood educationprograms are so highly prized

within affluent families, par-ents are willing to pay yearlypre school fees equal to thecost of one-year college tuition.They know that these pre-kindergarten experiences arethe essential building blocks tosuccess in school.

Preparing academically atrisk children with the literacyand number skills necessary toenter the starting gate forschool is a far wiser invest-ment of tax payers’ dollarsthan using those same fundsfor a questionable one yearthird-grade remediation guar-antee.

April 30 questionDo you agree with the U.S.

Food and Drug Administrationproposed rules that would banthe sale of e-cigarettes to any-one under 18, but would notrestrict flavored products, on-line sales or advertising? Whyor why not?

“I would suggest that U.S.Food & Drug Administrationban electronic cigarettes foreveryone regardless of flavor.That would also mean nomore ordering online andadvertising.

“Who are we kidding? Elec-tronic or non-electronic, ciga-rettes promote bad habits andbad health. Let’s ban all ciga-rettes and have a healthiercountry and better air for allof us.

“Then, let’s ban fast foodand soft drinks and maybewe’d all be thinner and ourchildren wouldn’t be learninganother bad habit from theadults in their lives.

“While we’re at it, let’s putall the drug pushers behindbars and stop drugs fromentering the United States,then we wouldn’t have to readabout any more people dying

of drug overdoses.“That would be my plan.”

E.E.C.

“I have mixed feelingsabout bans on any products ofthis type. The ban (Prohibi-tion) of alcohol didn’t work, itonly increased crime andfilled prisons. The ‘war ondrugs’ has had the same re-sults, only on a much largerscale.

“While I doubt that a par-tial ban (age and producttype) on e-cigarettes wouldever reach that level, we don’twant our children using theseproducts.

“At the same time adultsshould be allowed to make thechoice for themselves no mat-ter how harmful to them it

might be (you have the rightto be stupid).

“The best we can do is tryto educate our children asearly in their life as possibleand set a good example our-selves. If the parents havethese products in the homethere is a strong chance thechildren will try them.”

One of the most enjoyableaspects of representingsouthern Ohio is workingwith high school studentswho are interested in servingtheir nation.

Through the military acad-emy nomination process,exceptional high school stu-dents have the opportunity toattend a military academy,earn a four-year college de-gree, and serve their nation.

At a time of soaring tu-itions, our academies offer anexceptional education at zerocost. Graduates are not onlyexposed to top-ranked class-room curriculum, but areinstilled with character de-velopment and leadershipskills.

Are you interested? Or doyou know an exceptionalstudent thinking about serv-ing their country? I encour-age students and parents toattend this year’s AcademyDay, where we bring togetherrepresentatives from eachservice academy, includingthe Army, Air Force, Navy,Coast Guard, andMerchantMarines. Students and par-ents will be able to discussthe application process, acad-emy life, and career opportu-nities within the variousbranches of the military.

Personally, service hasbeen an important part of mylife. I started mymilitarycareer later than most. Ijoined the Army Reserve in1998 at the age of 39. Sevenyears later, I truly learnedthe value of service whencalled to active duty in Iraqfor one year.

Wemust look to the nextgeneration to grow into the

ranks ofleadershipand con-tinue ournation’sproud tradi-tion of ser-vice.

The Sec-ond Districtof Ohio hasa rich histo-ry of mil-

itary service, and I amhumbled every time I en-counter a service memberat home. I am honored to bepart of the process withambitious students as theyexamine the steps towardsmilitary service at an acad-emy.

Unlike most universi-ties, to apply to an acad-emy, a student must benominated by a member ofCongress or the President.Nominees are chosen basedon a number of factors,including evidence of char-acter, leadership, academicexcellence, physical apti-tude, and extracurricularactivities.

More information can befound at www.wenstru-p.house.gov or by callingmy office at 513-474-7777.

It’s always a privilege tomeet and get to know theexceptional candidatesfrom across the SecondDistrict looking to study ata service academy.

MyMom,MaryNader,really did follow the beatof a different drummer.

Mom was traditionalin many ways exceptwhen it came to clothes.She was the first on our

block towear petalpushers(we callthem Ca-pris now).Not somuch be-cause theywere fash-ionable,but be-cause they

were comfortable. I’m alittle bit like my Mom inthat respect.

I like being fashion-able, but comfort trumpsfashion every time.Luckily, with the assort-ment of clothing today, Ican be both.

When it came to food,Mom was “out there”, aswell.Weate squidwhen itwas just called squid, notCalamari and we atewhatever was in season.Her meager budget de-manded it.

She had the Mediter-raneandiet downpat, andas a mother myself, I ap-preciate more and moreall the wisdom she im-parted.

I’ve learned that onecan be a Mom withoutever bearing children.My sister, Judy, is a goodexample of this. She hasbeen like a Mom to ournieces and nephews. Sofor all the Moms outthere, biological or other-wise, the happiest ofMother’s Day to you!

Pastry shopPavlova/Meringues

Now this would be anelegant, yet fairly easy,dessert for Mom.

8 extra large eggwhites, room temper-ature

1 teaspoon cream oftartar

1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups granulated sug-

ar1 tablespoon vanillaPreheat oven to 175-

200. Line baking sheetswith parchment.

Beat eggwhites, usinglow speed until whitesare loose and foamy. Addcream of tartar and saltand increase speed tomedium. Beat untilwhites stand in soft butfrothy peaks. Turn tohigh and add sugar, about2 tablespoons at a time,beating for 5 seconds af-ter each addition. Thisassures sugars dissolvesand meringues come outcrispy, not too chewy.The meringue will beshiny and will fall intofirm peaks when beateris lifted. Place meringueinto a pastry bag withstar or plain tip and drawa circle, starting frommiddle out. This will beyour base. You can makethe circle as big as youlike. Then build up sides,about 3 layers. Or justplop a large dollop of me-ringue onto parchmentand then take a spoon tohollow out center, mak-ing sure you still have anice coating of meringueon the bottom in center.

Bake 2 hours, or untilmeringues are dry andcrisp throughout. Pull

from parchment paperand store up to twoweeksin airtight containers.Fill with whipped creamand fresh fruit. You canalso fill with lemon curd,pudding, whatever.

Makes two large Pa-vlovas or 2-3 dozen smallones.

Jack’s chocolatecoveredstrawberries forMom

Mygrandson, Jack, in-vited me to read to hissecond grade class atGuardian Angels’ school.“If you like, bring in a

treat”, his mom, Jessie,said. The only thing I hadon hand was strawber-ries and chocolate, so Imade chocolate dippedstrawberries. Talk abouta hit. The kids wanted toknow how to make them.I told themI’dpublish therecipe for them to make,and here it is. Easyenough for Jack and oth-er littlehands tomakeforMom.

1 pound strawberrieswith stems

12 oz. favorite choco-late morsels

Rinse, but do not hullberries. Drain and patcompletely dry. Melt

chocolate and removefrom heat while you stillsee some lumps. Stir un-til smooth. Holding ber-ries by stem, dip 3/4 wayup. Set on sprayed pan orparchment paper. Put infrig, uncovered, to set.Store, covered, in frig fora day.

Good for you:Make these with dark

chocolate for anti-oxi-dant qualities. Strawber-ries are good bone build-ers and good for immunesystems, plus they con-tain lots of fiber.

Although they don’tsound very professional,callers from overseas areupsettinga lot of areapeo-ple by claiming they arewith the InternalRevenueService and threateningthemwith jail time for un-paid taxes. The IRS saysthis crime is continuingnationwide even thoughthe tax deadline haspassed.

A woman in Bethelwrote me saying she’sbeen, “Receiving severalphone calls a day fromsomeonewanting tospeakto my husband. The onetimethat Iansweredafor-eign sounding man askedif I was Tom. When I saidno he said he had the

wrongnumberand hungup. Sincethen I haveignored thecalls andtoday heleft threemessageson our voi-cemail say-

ing he was with the IRSand threatening us if wedid not respond.”

In leaving the voice-mail message the calleralso left a phone numberto call back. I checkedthat number on the inter-net and found lots of otherpeople have receivedthese same calls from a

man threatening themwith arrest for tax fraud.

I too received one ofthese calls from a foreignsounding man whoclaimedanarrestwarranthad been issued for mywife for unpaid taxes. Isaid, “Fine, I’m turning onmy recorder so I am sureto get everything correct-ly.” He very quickly hungup.

The IRS says its re-ceived reports of thesecallers being particularlyaggressive in the past fewmonths. It says, “Immi-grants are frequently tar-geted. Potential victimsare threatened with de-portation, arrest, havingtheir utilities shut off, orhaving their driver’s li-censes revoked. Callersare frequently insultingor hostile – apparently toscare their potential vic-tims.”

After threatening vic-tims sometimes the scam-mers hang up and thenhave others call back pre-tending to be from the lo-cal police or Departmentof Motor Vehicles.

They can even spoofthe caller ID on yourphone to make it appearthey’re calling from theIRS, the police or theBMV.

The IRS says if you geta phone call from some-one claiming to be fromthe IRS, andyouknowyoudon’t owe taxes or havenoreason to think you owetaxes, then report the callto the Treasury InspectorGeneral for Tax Admini-stration at 800-366-4484.

If you know you owetaxes or think you mightowe taxes, call the IRS di-rectly at 800-829-1040.TheIRSemployeesat thatline can help with a pay-ment issue – if there real-ly is such an issue.

DunnhumbyUSA received the Medical Mutual PillarAward for Community Service. Stuart Aitken, CEO,accepted the award at the event hosted by SmartBusiness Magazine at the Duke Energy ConventionCenter. The Pillar Award honors businesses of all typesand sizes in the for-profit and non-profit sectors thatmake significant contributions to the community.DunnhumbyUSA was recognized for its charitableenvironment and outstanding support to the localcommunity through Helping Hands, an employee-ledphilanthropic program.

The University of Cin-cinnati Blue Ash Collegeis announcing a new poli-cy that will go into effectfor freshman studentswho enroll for the 2014-2015 academic year.

It requires that allfreshmen earn at least 24credits before they are al-lowedtoenroll inaclassatthe University of Cincin-nati’s campuses in Cliftonor Batavia.

The new policy wascreated to help supportthe success of incomingfreshman. A small butgrowing trend has devel-oped asmore students arebeing referred toUCBlueAsh after initially seekingadmission to the Cliftoncampus, but not qualify-ing academically. Some ofthese students were stillfindingawayto takesomeor all of their classes inClifton. Their grades of-ten suffered as a result.

“We have a formulathat helps students reallymake the adjustment tocollege-level courses –they benefit from our

smaller class sizes, in-creased opportunities forone-on-one instruction,and free academic sup-port services,” said CadyShort-Thompson, Dean ofUC Blue Ash. “We wantour students to take ourclasses. We see so manystudents who have doubtsabout whether they cansucceed in college, butthen thrive in this envi-ronment and go on to suc-cessful academic careersin Clifton.”

Exceptions to the poli-cy will be considered forspecial circumstances,but they will be rare andwill require approval.

Incoming freshman atUC Blue Ash will still beallowed to live in the resi-dence halls in Clifton.They can also continue totakeadvantageof the freeshuttles that travel be-tween the Blue Ash andCliftoncampusesMondaythrough Friday.

Deaconess Associa-tions Foundation has do-nated $65,000 to the Inde-pendent TransportationNetwork of Greater Cin-cinnati, which is based inSpringdale.

The funds will be used

for ITNGC operations inproviding transportationfor senior citizens overthe age of 60 and visually-impaired adults.

“Reliable transporta-tion is considered one ofthe most problematic is-sues for seniors and thesight-impaired who arestriving to remain inde-pendent,” said TonyWoods, chairman of Dea-coness Associations Inc.“Deaconess is pleased tocontinue providing finan-cial support to ITNGreat-erCincinnati to help thisorganization maintainsuch a valuable service inour community.”

ITNGC has 429 mem-bers and has provided21,563 rides within theI-275 beltway in Cincin-nati and northern Ken-tucky. Sixty-six volun-teers drive their own carsand transport memberswherever they wish to go– shopping, theater, salonand medical appoint-ments, aswell as to volun-teer activities.

The non-profit serviceoperates 24 hours a day,seven days per week.

“Many seniors and vi-sually-impaired adults donot have the mobility touse public transporta-tion,” said Nancy Schus-ter, ITNGC director. “Weare extremely grateful toDeaconess for recogniz-ing the need for a servicelike this in thecommunity.Deaconess has supportedus for the first threeyearswe’ve been in businessand without their con-tinued support, we couldnothaveachieved thesuc-

cess that we have.”Membership is $75 per

year, plus a pickup andsmallmileage fee.Theav-erage ride costs $8 to $12,which is less than a taxifare.

Many of ITNGC mem-bers are former driverswho have hung up theircar keys because of age,vision or medical issues.“The transition from thedriver's seat to the pas-sengerseat isnevereasy–for thedrivers or for theirfamilies,” said Schuster.“But it is infinitely easierwhen there is a viabletransportation alterna-tive that keeps the olderadult in control. Our vol-unteerdriversenjoyhelp-ing others and membersappreciate the friendli-ness of their drivers andthe opportunity to buildfriendships with themover time.”

ITNGC offices are lo-cated at 200 NorthlandBlvd. in Springdale. Con-tact ITNGC at 513-559-2200 for more informa-tion about membershipand volunteer driving op-portunities.
