COLLECTION TIME

CHEVIOT — Voters here willdecide which Republican candi-date will challenge Mayor Sam-uel Keller for his seat.

City Council President Debo-rah Slaughter and Ward 4 Coun-cilman William Clark III are fac-ing off in the May 5 primaryelection.

The winner will run againstKeller, a Democrat, in the gener-al election this November.

A U.S. Navy veteran, Clark,45, owns an information technol-ogy company and is in his sixthyear representing Ward 4 oncity council.

He said he’s running for may-or because he wants to increasesafety in the city. He said hedoesn’t think some of the safetyissues being vocalized by resi-dents are being adequately ad-dressed, particularly speedingdrivers in the city.

“The safety of our residentsis my primary concern,” he said.“Some of our residents don’tfeel safe in our community. Weneed to change that.”

Clark said the city needs to bemore aggressive in ticketingspeeders and needs to imple-ment additional strategies forreducing crime. One idea he hasfor deterring crime is establish-ing walking patrols alongstreets throughout the city, hesaid.

His other main objective isrevitalizing Cheviot’s aginghousing stock in order to attractyoung families, he said. Most ofthe homes in the city are ap-proaching 100-years-old, and hesaid many young families todayaren’t interested in buying old

homes as starterhomes.

“Our housingstock makes ithard to attractnew families andso the homes ei-ther becomerental propertiesor subsidizedhousing,” hesaid.

Clark’s plan isto tear downforeclosed andold, dilapidatedhomes and targetdevelopers tobuild new homeson those proper-ties, he said.

“There maybe some streetsthat need to be

leveled,” he said. “But you haveto redevelop the city. Otherwisethe city will not survive.”

He said Cheviot needs moreyoung families who are investedin the community’s future, andbuilding homes those familieswant is the way to attract them.

“We need to figure out a wayto do this. We’re past the point oflooking five years down theroad, we have to fix these issuesnow,” Clark said. “I know thereare creative ways to do it.”

While he can work to resolveproblems facing the city as acouncilman, he said the mayorposition has more influence andprovides a greater opportunityfor accomplishing his goals.

Slaughter, 58, is an attorneyand also an adjunct instructor atMount St. Joseph University.She’s served as council presi-

Oak Hills Local SchoolDistrict believes itwill save $373,000 a

year by upgrading districtschools and buildings to bemore energy efficientthrough a partnership withEnergy Optimizers, USA, aTipp City-based energy andconservation company thatspecializes in working withK-12 school districts.

At the same time, thepartnership seeks to exposestudents to the fast-growingSTEM fields.

“As a leader in education,it’s incumbent on us to alsotake a leadership role inmaking smart investmentsin smart energy,” Oak HillsSuperintendent Todd Yoheysaid in a press release. Sav-ings will be recognized in thedistrict’s general fund forutility and maintenancecosts, assuming usage con-sumption and utility rates re-main at existing levels.

Energy Optimizersmakes education a compo-nent to the majority of itspublic school energy conser-vation projects. The compa-ny will fund the launch of a“Green Team” in Oak Hills toeducate students about ener-gy management conceptsand careers in STEM (Sci-ence, Technology, Engineer-ing and Math) fields.

“This project will not onlysave our taxpayers dollars, itwill put us firmly at the lead-ing edge of using energymanagement technologies.”

Oak Hills will issue debtpayments of $330,000 annu-ally over a 15-year periodfrom its Permanent Im-provement Fund to pay forthe project.

The project will improve

the comfort, control and re-liability of the district’sHVAC and lighting systems,while reducing operationalcosts. In total, 11 buildingswill be improved, includingthe district office and bus ga-rage.

Energy conservationsteps include the replace-ment of interior lightingwith more efficient lampsand the removal of unneededlamps to cut waste, replace-ment of exterior lightingwith LED technology and theinstallation of energy effi-cient kitchen measures.

Repairs, upgrades, inte-gration and advanced ener-gy management controlsprogramming will be imple-mented and installation of asolar thermal system to heatthe high school’s swimmingpool and block heater con-trols for the bus terminalsare also part of the project.

Money the district saveswill be used for educationalpurposes.

“Building systems are be-coming more efficient; itjust makes sense to take ad-vantage of these improve-ments to make our opera-

tions as cost-effective aspossible,” Oak Hills Opera-tions Director John Becke-meyer said.

“On top of that, we expectour buildings will be morecomfortable and our sys-tems more reliable.”

The project will also inte-grate the Energy Star Port-folio Manager system tomodel and track the currentand ongoing energy usageand performance of theschool district.

“In our classrooms, westress innovation and real-world experience,” Yoheysaid. “What better way to ex-pose students to both thanthrough an energy manage-ment project that will allowstudents to view the energyperformance of their build-ings in real time while learn-ing more about STEM-basedcareers?”

Energy Optimizers willalso provide the district withOhio Energy Project aca-demic materials alignedwith Ohio’s academic con-tent standards and GreenTeam members will takepart in STEM-related activ-ities focused on energy con-servation and encouragingstudents to be more environ-mentally conscious.

“We are dedicated to help-ing our clients reduce theirenergy costs and that’s allabout education, every stepof the way,” Greg Smith,founder and president of En-ergy Optimizers, USA, said.“It’s about helping our cli-ents understand what op-tions make the most sensefor them, but it’s also abouteducating the next genera-tion of leaders in STEMfields.”

CHEVIOT — City offi-cials are asking voters toconsider approving a newtax levy on the May 5 pri-mary ballot.

The city is seeking anew 3-mill, five-year levyfor street constructionand repairs. If approved,the city would not renewtwo street levies alreadyon the books.

Cheviot has two streetlevies now, each one a 1.5-mill, five-year levy. Thefirst was passed in 1976and the second waspassed in 1980. Both lev-ies have been renewed byvoters every time they’vebeen up for renewal.

One levy expires at theend of this year and theother expires at the endof 2016. Cheviot MayorSamuel Keller said if res-idents approve the new 3-

mill levy,city coun-cil will notseek re-newal ofthe levyset to ex-pire thisyear andwill repeal

the levy that expires nextyear, which will leave thecity with one 3-mill streetlevy.

Due to inflation andthe fact the millage rateson the existing street lev-ies are based on propertyvalues the year they wereoriginally approved, thecity no longer collectsenough money from thelevies to adequately re-pair streets.

Keller said the 1976levy generates $66,000each year for street re-pairs and the 1980 levygenerates $79,000 peryear. That’s an annual to-

tal of$145,000.

“Thecity is try-ing to re-pairstreetsbased off1970s and1980s reve-

nue,” he said, noting it’smore than 35 years with-out an increase.

“The cost to repair atypical street rangesfrom $200,000 to$800,000. For example,the total cost to replaceour current project, RobbAvenue, is $700,000.”

With the existing 1.5-mill levies, he said ittakes the city roughlyfive years to save enoughmoney to repair a streetlike Robb Avenue.

If approved, the newstreet levy would be a taxincrease for city resi-dents. Right now the own-er of a home worth$100,000 pays about $26per year for the com-bined street levies. The 3-mill levy would cost theowner of a $100,000 homeabout $105 per year, or anannual increase of about$79.

Cheviot Safety Ser-vice Director Tom Braun

said the 3-mill levy wouldbring in about $320,000each year for the city, sig-nificantly improving itsability to repair streets.

“The two levies wehave now don’t even payfor one street per year,”he said.

The city applies forgrant funding every yearto assist with road pro-jects, including Commu-nity Development grantsthrough Hamilton Coun-ty and State Capital Im-provement Programfunding, and Braun saidthe city will continuelooking for grant oppor-tunities even if the levypasses.

Keller said federal,state and county govern-ments have cut funding toCheviot over the pastfour to five years, and thefunding that has been cutwas used to subsidize thecity’s road repair pro-grams.

“Cheviot has a five-year street repair sched-ule, however, withoutbringing the road leviesup to 2015 levels the citywill be unable to keep upwith this schedule andour roads will continue todeteriorate at a fasterpace,” he said.

When we plow the garden for oursummer vegetables and flowers, thegrandkids repeat what my own kidsasked when they were little: “Are yougoing to plant potatoes, onions and

carrots?” The answer, ofcourse, is always yes.

Digging for potatoesor pulling up onions orcarrots out of theground is like findingburied treasure. Thenice thing about grow-ing these three veggiesis that they can begrown in the ground orin a container, like abushel basket.

We especially like new potatoesfreshly dug from the garden. Here’s ayummy recipe using a different tech-nique for cooking them.

Readers want to know:What’s the best mint for Juleps and

how do you make them?Spearmint for sure. Make a simple

syrup of 2 cups each sugar and water,add about 1 cup mint leaves, smooshwith spoon to release flavor, and boiluntil sugar dissolves. Cool and strain.

Fill an 8oz. glass with crushed ice,add mint syrup to taste (start withabout 4 tablespoons and go from there.Some people like it real sweet andminty, up to 1/2 cup) and up to 4 table-spoons Kentucky bourbon. Stir realquick to make the glass frost on theoutside and garnish with a mint sprig.

Earth Day fun!So much fun sharing seeds and

planting annuals with grandkids Evaand her class at Kilgour School andJack and Will at Guardian AngelsSchool. Thanks to Natorp’s for supply-ing plants.

Root veggies, Cinco de Mayo on menu

Stovetop roasted fingerlings with butter andparsley

I saw Ina Garten make a variation of these and just had to makesome myself. I used my heavy enameled cast iron Le Creuset pot.Make sure potatoes are about the same size so they cook evenly.

1/4 cup butter1-1/2 pounds fingerling or very small potatoes, rinsed but not

peeledSalt and pepper to tasteChopped parsley

Melt the butter in a large heavy pot. Add potatoes, salt, andpepper, and toss well. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to30 minutes, until potatoes are just tender when tested with a smallknife. Shake pot occasionally without removing lid to prevent thebottom potatoes from burning. Turn off heat and steam 5 minutes.Don't overcook. Stir in parsley.

Tip: Ina used dill so try that, too.

Cinco de Mayo chili cheese dip

I like to sprinkle the finished dish with more cilantro. If youwant a spicy kick, substitute tomatoes with chilies, drained for thediced tomatoes.

15 oz. can chili with beans14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained3 green onions, sliced thin, white and green part bothCilantro to taste8 oz. cream cheese, softenedGenerous cup corn chips, finely crushed8 oz. Taco or Mexican blend shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Spray an 8-inch baking pan or small ovenproof casserole. Stir together chili, tomatoes, onions and cilantro.Spread cream cheese in bottom of baking dish. Top with a layer ofchili mixture. Sprinkle top with the corn chips and cheese. Bake untilcheese melts and bubbles a bit, about 15 minutes. Serve with cornchips or veggies.

In 1924, the Columbia PowerCompany decided to build anew power plant to supply thegrowing demand for electricityin Cincinnati. The companybought 1,400 acres of the mosthistoric land in southern Ohio.

In 900, The Mound Buildersbuilt a great fortress at thejunction of the Ohio and BigMiami rivers. The 12-acre sitewas at the western end of a hill

that raises 250feet above theOhio River,and was calledFort Hill. Onthe site besidesthe fort therewere burialmounds, avillage wereprehistoricIndians lived,worked and

conducted religious and socialceremonies. As the yearspassed other Indian tribesinhabited the site. It was agreat place to view Kentucky,Ohio and Indiana.

When the United States wonthe land from the Indians in1785, Congress passed the LandOrdinance of 1785. But theIndians weren’t leaving. FortFinney was built on the banksof the Ohio River, to protect theUnited States commissionersand troops while a treaty wasnegoated. George Rogers Clarksecured that treaty from theShawnee Indians in February1786. (Today the power plant inMiami Township is slightlysouth of the old fort and can beseen where the I-275 bridgecrosses the river from Indianainto Kentucky.)

This treaty opened up theNorthwest Territory for settle-ment. The first American landowner was John Cleves, whoobtained the Miami Purchasefrom Congress. When Symmesdied in 1814, his daughter Anna

Harrison, wife of William Hen-ry inherited the land. Theybuilt a 22-room house therethat eventually burned to theground. After the fire, Annalived with her son John Scottuntil she died. After John’sdeath Abram Bower purchasedthe land and built a diary farmthere, and commuted fromSayler Park by train to thefarm. The Harrison house wasstill standing at the bottom ofthe hill when the power plantpurchased the land from Bow-er’s estate.

Construction of the powerplant began on Valentines Dayin 1924. It was completed in1925 at a cost of $15 million.

The new plant would producedouble the kilowatt hours fromthe same amount of coal usedat the West End Station.

Now named the ColumbiaPower Station, it was dedica-tion on Dec. 11, 1925, at NorthBend. About 1,000 guests at-tended a dedication dinner atthe Sinton Hotel that wasbroadcast over WLW andWKRC radio stations. A con-gratulatory letter was receivedfrom President Herbert Hoo-ver and Thomas Edison. Dur-ing a four-day celebration citi-zens viewed the plant.

College students from UC,Xavier, Hebrew Union Collegeand Ohio Mechanics Institute

also attended. Principals fromHughes, Withrow, Walnut Hills,Elder, St. Mary, St. Xavier,Norwood, St. Bernard Hart-well, and Wyoming highschools gave students a halfday off to visit the plant. InKentucky students from Co-vington, Fort Thomas, Bellevueand Dayton came.

April 22 questionNow that the U.S. is “normaliz-

ing” relations with Cuba, and hasremoved it from the list of statesponsors of terrorism, how willthis benefit or hurt the U.S.?Would you be more or less likelyto visit Cuba? Why or why not?

“There are many thingsabout our history with the Com-munist Cuban government, thatare not America’s proudest mo-ments. That being said, I see ab-solutely no benefit to the U.S. inrecognizing Cuba, as long as it isunder Castro. If the former resi-dents, through Congress, re-quest normalization, I mightchange my mind.

“Our currently failed foreignpolicies certainly do not gainany strength in our demands forhuman rights. Strange, to me, ishow we kept the sanctions onSouth Africa until they failed in-ternally, but we seem desperateto not do the same to terroristnations like Iran and Cuba.

“BTW I found the beaches atGuantanamo Bay to be some ofthe most beautiful in the worldon numerous occasions. Proba-bly, Marriott could build a fivestar resort there in place of theTaliban Towers Resort. I’m still

waiting to go to the Hilton that Iwas sure would be built on NhaTrang’s beach.”

D.B.

“I’ve known many peoplethat have been able to go to Cubaunder the guise of artistic oruniversity/academic-sponsoredtrips, so although it was off lim-its to the casual U.S. citizenthere were ways to travel there.

“I think Cuba will benefit interms of tourism dollars and asfor the U.S. it could become apopular destination for vaca-tions and leisure.

“The importance of thisthawing is that the Cuban peoplereap some type of benefit bothin terms of economic and soci-etal. I believe they have beenharmed the most by their sys-tem of government and our cut-ting of ties.”

“Although I was in highschool during the Reagan years,I never felt that Cuba was in anyway a threat to the UnitedStates. I am surprised it tookthis long for the U.S. to normal-ize relations with them.”

C.S.

“Normalizing relations withCuba is the first and only thing

Obama has done during hisreign that finally makes com-plete sense. It’s about time.Whether this change will be areal benefit to the USA is yet tobe seen, but it will absolutely bea significant benefit to the Cu-ban people. The tourism dollarsalone flooding into their econo-my will be well received andcreate a start toward reliving anoticeable portion of the suffer-ing endured daily by the popu-lace.

“Yes, it remains a Commu-nist society and the trickle downto the common folk from thenew-found largesse may beslow, but people’s lives shouldstart to improve. Other tradedeals and investment fromAmerican companies will helpas well. As far as benefiting theUSA, one can hope that moreAmericans gaining a first-handview into the myriad failures in-herent in a Communist society,and by close extension social-ism, will result in a ground swellarising to turn sharply awayfrom the socialism path downwhich Obama has steered ourcountry.

“I support this change in rela-tionship between our two coun-tries and look forward to some-

day visiting our Caribbeanneighbor.”

M.J.F.

“It was time to re-establishrelations with Cuba. I fear how-ever that it could emulate theflow of illegal aliens that hasbeen going on from Mexico. TheU.S. is not equipped to financial-ly handle any more of that.

“I have no desire to visit Cu-ba. It could have been anotherLas Vegas or Miami Beach, butfor Castro’s lack of vision. Com-munism has failed there and inNorth Korea. Go Figure!”

Cheviot streetlevy needed

Cheviot voters will beasked to approve a newstreet levy May 5.

The city is seeking a five-year, 3-mill levy for streetconstruction and repairs.This is an additional taxlevy. The city has two 1.5-mill street levies: one willexpire this year and one willexpire next year. If this levypasses, council will not seekrenewal of either currentlevy and will repeal the sec-ond one.

You may wonder why notjust renew the two currentlevies. In short, because ofinflation. One levy was firstpassed in 1976 and has beenrenewed every five years.The second levy was firstpassed in 1980 and has beenrenewed every five years.The 1976 levy generates$66,000 per year in revenueand the 1980 levy generates$79,000 per year in revenue.

The city is trying to re-pair streets based off 1970sand 1980s revenue withoutan increase. The cost to re-pair a typical street rangesfrom $ 200,000 to $800,000.The total cost to replaceRobb Avenue is $700,000

The combined currentlevies cost the owner of a$100,000 home about $26 peryear. The new levy wouldcost about $105 per year oran increase of $79 per yearor $6.58 per month.

Using e 1976 and 1980millage, it takes Cheviotroughly five years to save toenough money to repair astreet like Robb Avenue.

Over the past four to fiveyears the city has been dras-tically cut on revenue shar-ing by the federal, state andcounty governments. Thedollars cut subsidized roadprograms. Cheviot has afive-year street repairschedule, however, withoutbringing the road levies upto 2015 levels the city will beunable to keep up with thisschedule and our roads willcontinue to deteriorate at afaster pace.

We ask for your con-tinued support by voting yeson this new levy.

2B • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • APRIL 29, 2015 LIFE

While senior Oak HillHigh School swimmerHannah Sherlock standson the block, she waits insilence for the flash of alight signaling her it’stime to dive into the wa-ter. Focused on the raceat hand she looks upon si-lent applause and cheersfrom teammates, coach-es and the Oak Hills fans.

You see, Sherlock isdeaf and has to rely onlight indicators to tell herwhen the race starts. Shebegan swimming com-petitively in eighthgrade, and has spent hersummers in local pools,feeling very at home inthe water.

“I like the way swim-ming feels. It’s a therapyto me in a way,” she said.“I really like being in thewater.”

Under the direction ofhead coach Katie Hunter,a 2001Oak Hills graduateand current counselor atthe high school, Sherlockhas repeatedly brokendown barriers and obsta-cles to be successful inthe water. She’s been ac-cepted with open arms byher teammates andcoaches. They havelearned some sign lan-guage and alternativecoaching techniques sothat they can all be on thesame page when it’s racetime.

“Having her on theteam made me personal-ly strive to learn the

signs quickly in order tosupport her the best wayI could,” Hunter said. “Ihad been able to run prac-tices without thinkingabout my delivery, butnow I work hard to bestprepare my thoughtsahead of time so that mycommunication is clearand effective for her.”

Hunter said by pro-viding visual aids and al-ternate explanations herhearing swimmers alsopicked up on her mes-sages faster.

This year Sherlockhas returned to the poolwith a more serious out-look. “I can’t be lazy any-more if I’m going to suc-ceed,” she said. It is withthat can-do attitude thatshe has had a long-lastingimpact on her coachesand teammates.

“As a team we sawthat Hannah never madeexcuses or complainedabout her situation,”Hunter said. “She was anadvocate for herself andshowed us all what youcan achieve with confi-dence in yourself.”

Unlike most swim-mers Sherlock cannothear her friends, team-mates and coaches asthey cheer her on, so shehas come up with a veryunique motivationaltechnique.

“I tend to make up apicture of what the wholecheering scene looks likewhile I am cheering aswell, then I merge thatpicture with what it

would look like if I werein the water,” Sherlocksaid. “If I am luckyenough to be put in a laneon the edge or the nextone over, I am guaran-teed a snapshot of themwhile I take a breath.”

Next year Sherlockplans to attend the Roch-ester Institute of Tech-nology, where more than1,200 deaf and hard-of-hearing students are sup-ported by RIT’s NationalTechnical Institute forthe Deaf or Gallaudet,the world’s only univer-sity with programs andservices designed to ac-commodate deaf andhard of hearing students,

When asked how shewants to be rememberedby her teammates, Sher-lock stated, “I just wantthem to remember mefor who I was. I was aswimmer on the team.Just like the rest of them,I have strengths andweaknesses. I do not wishto be glorified because Iam deaf and I swim, or dosome sport that is sup-posedly impossible for aperson with a disabilityto take part in.”

With that typical Sher-lock perspective she con-tinued, “It’s not impossi-ble to push things aroundin order to make them fit.In fact, I don’t thinkmany of us, me included,realize just how muchwiggle room we reallyhave. It is the smallthings that can make thebig picture so great.”
