Visit our online calendar at Cincinnati.com Three gas stations robbed in one day Three gas stations in Anderson Township and the East End were robbed within hours of each oth- er, and the crimes could be related. Around 1 a.m. July 12, a suspect came into the Shell gas station, 4525 Kellogg Ave., pointed a gun at the clerk and de- manded cash, according to the Cincinnati Police Department’s crime sta- tistics. The suspect also took several packs of cig- arettes from the shelves behind the counter. Less than three hours later, around 3:30 a.m., a man came into the BP at the corner of Beechmont Avenue and Five Mile Road with a large, black semi-automatic gun and demanded the clerk emp- ty the contents of the reg- ister, according to a re- lease from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. He then went behind the counter, took the bag of money and several packs of cigarettes and fled westbound toward Beechmont Avenue. Just after noon that same day, a suspect en- tered the Clark gas sta- tion at the intersection of Salem Road and Birney Lane in Anderson Town- ship, and pulled out a large, black handgun. He ordered the em- ployee to open the cash register and then fled with an undetermined amount of money, accord- ing to the Sheriff’s Office. No description was available for the Shell gas station robbery, but in both Anderson Township robberies, the suspect in each had a very similar description. All three gas stations are within rough- ly five miles of each oth- er. He is described as a white male, possibly in his 20s, and between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall. He was wearing a white T-shirt, black knee- length athletic shorts and a black shirt or scarf around his face. The suspect is also de- scribed as having numer- ous tattoos on his arm and medium-length brown hair. “The similarities are too blatant to ignore,” said Lt. Matt Guy, com- mander for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office District 5, which covers Anderson Township. The Anderson Township cases are being handled by the criminal investiga- tion section, he said.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…

After more than fourdecades of plans costingtens of millions of dollars,the controversial EasternCorridor project could becoming to an end.

Envisioned as a way tomake travel safer and lesscongested betweenDown-town and eastern Hamil-ton and western Clermontcounties, the multiphaseproject is plagued by alackofconsensus,a lackoflocal money and a federalfunding program that’sabout to go broke.

Now discussions areentering a critical stage: Amediator’s report expect-edby the endof July couldrecommend a halt to acritical highway reloca-tion, starting a ripple ef-fect shutting down relatedpieces of the project.

Also in July, the federalHighway Trust Fund – anaccount that funds the na-tion’s highway and bridgeprojects – is on the road toinsolvency.

“The continued spend-ing on options that havenosupport is insanity,” Ham-ilton County Commission-er Greg Hartmann said ofthe Eastern Corridor.“Some of these (federal)processes require us tostudy options that are nev-er going to happen. It’s awaste of taxpayer dol-lars.”

The Enquirer learnedthrough a public recordsrequest that the state hasspent or committed $22million since 2010 on plansfor a new roadway, an ex-pressway expansion andrail transit – all disputed

parts of the ambitiousEastern Corridor project.Thatdoesn’t count thecostof multiple other studiesdating to the 1970s.

It’s not a huge amountof money for a project ascomplicated and expen-sive as the Eastern Corri-dor, estimated to cost $1.4billion. But every pennycounts, especially in theface of enduring opposi-tion and uncertainty abouttransportation funding.

“We need to stop rightaway,” said Tom Brink-man, the front-runner torepresent the state’s 27thHouse District after win-ning the Republican pri-mary in May. “Actually,we’ve passed that point.The local citizens don’twant it. It’s time to moveon and put the moneywhere it should be spent,likeonanewBrentSpenceBridge.”

Supporters, however,say that big public worksprojects are never simple.The federal governmentrequires various optionsto be studied as part of anenvironmental process.

“I’m very frustrated,”said Mark Policinski, ex-ecutive director of theOhio-Kentucky-IndianaRegional Council of Gov-ernments, the region’stransportation planningagency. “The federal proc-ess takesso long togetma-jor projects done. Everysegment of the govern-mentwants tobeking.Thebenefits of the project be-come secondary to thepower struggle of theWashington bureaucrats.Who would not want thisproject to be built fasterfor the taxpayers? Well, I

can tell you: The federalgovernment doesn’t wantthat.”

Part of that processnow includes mediation.At the request of the Fed-eralHighwayAdministra-tion, the state is spendingnearly $1 million on a me-diator to find consensusbetween Mariemont andNewtown and a dozenstate and federal agencieson a controversial high-way relocation.

An initial assessment isscheduled to be done bytheendof thismonthandafull report delivered byDecember. It will help de-termine whether the relo-cation of state Route 32through the Little MiamiRivervalley inMariemontand Newtown will moveforward.

If the mediator recom-

mends planning for theOhio 32 relocation shouldbe stopped, other phasesrelated to it still in theplanning process alsocould end, state officialssaid.

“If you can’t figure outhow to do this in the nexttwo years or sooner, yeah,stop spending themoney –and spend it on other pro-jects in the region,” saidBob Slattery, an EasternCorridor supporter andNewtown business owner.“But if it’sgoingtohappen,we’d like to see it beaposi-tive for all the communi-ties.”

The only part of theEastern Corridor projectthat’s been fully funded isthe current $71.4 millionoverhaul of the inter-change at Interstate 275and Ohio 32 in Eastgate.

The Eastern Corridor hasfivemajor phases that callfor a new roadway, railtransit, highway inter-change, bike lanes androadway improvements.

Hamilton County Com-missioner Todd Portune,among the Eastern Corri-dor’s biggest proponents,says the project has had apublic-relations problemsince the state proposedrelocating Ohio 32 along aroute that would destroy apark and historic landpreservation area in Ma-riemont.

Thehistoric villagehadsupported the project un-til then, but Mariemontleadersandresidentshavebeen united in fighting theEastern Corridor eversince. Newtown, Marie-mont’s neighbor to thesouth, opposes the 32 relo-

cation because it wouldbypass the village, poten-tially crippling the smallbusiness district and elim-inating a large chunkof itstax base.

Portune said oppositionfrom Mariemont andNewtown has created aperception that the entireproject is flawed. He alsodoes not support the cur-rent proposal that wouldwipe out Mariemont’sSouth 80 Park.

“The whole EasternCorridor is painted with abroad brush that every-thing is wrong because ofthe state’s proposal on therelocation of Route 32,”said Portune, president ofthe OKI board. “Thephases are not contingenton each other being done.Theyallstandorfailonthestrength of their ownmer-it.”

Disagreements havecentered on differentparts of the project.

Madisonville had longbeen opposed to expand-ing Red Bank Road be-tween I-71 and MadisonRoad until a recent agree-ment called for improve-ments to side streets. The$26 million Red Bank ex-pansion isdesignedtohan-dlemorevehiclesbasedonthe 32 relocation, whichwould connect to RedBank in Fairfax.

Many of the region’smostoutspokenpassengerrail proponents areagainst the project’s pro-posed 17-mile Oasis com-muter line between TheBanks andMilford –most-ly because it goes throughunpopulated areas and theeconomic developmentpotential is questionable.

The Summit Country DaySchool raised $4,637 during theschool year for the Karen Wel-lington Foundation for LIVINGwith Breast Cancer.

TheSummit’s chapterofKeyClub International, sponsoredby Madeira’s Kiwanis Club,raised the more than $4,000through various service eventsand fundraisers throughout theschool year, such as pennywarsin the fall, selling candygramsnearHalloween, a giving tree atChristmas and selling flowersfor prom.

Each year, club membersvote on which charity they willraise funds for throughout theyear based onwhat the studentsare interested in and findmean-ingful. Upper School Englishteacher and Key Club modera-tor Phyllis Lipovsky said theprojects that the club organizesare chosen based on the lessonsstudents will learn from them.

“We wanted the students tothink about all the thingsthey’ve been able to celebratethroughout their lives, and howfortunate theyare tohave that,”

Lipovsky said. “We hoped itwould motivate students to do-nate to our cause out of thegoodness of donating.”

The club’s final project en-couraged Summit students todonate a quarter for each birth-day they have celebrated forthe Karen Wellington Founda-tion, because of its focus on cel-ebrating life for women livingwith breast cancer.

The Karen Wellington Foun-dation honors the memory of aformer Summit parent who,having been diagnosed withbreast cancer at age 30, livedthe last days of her life to thefullest. The foundation honorswomen who are living withbreast cancerand their familiesby sending them on vacations,spa days or special lunches andnights out – so they have enjoy-able activities inbetweencalen-dardates filledwithdoctor’s ap-pointments, chemo treatmentsand surgeries.

This year, the foundationfunded a vacation for SummitMiddle School teacher PennyHerr, who has been battling

breast cancer during the pastyear. She and her husbandplanned a trip to the beach thissummer with the gift. SummitUpper School teacher CathyFlesch was given a vacation toHawaii last year by the founda-tion.

Key Club is an internationalstudent-led organization whosemission and core values closelymirror those of The Summit.The club providesmembers op-portunities to provide service,build character and developleadership. The clubvalues car-ing and inclusiveness.

Lipovsky said that asidefrom the club’s internationalvalues, her students are em-powered by the difference theyare able tomake because of lev-el of responsibility they are af-forded.

“It’s all about getting the stu-dents invested in the charitiesthey choose to aid. They planandstaff theevents.Theycountthe money. They brainstormideas. I think they really feelthey have a part of the schoolthat is their own.”

Summit's Key Club raised more than $4,000 for the Karen Wellington Foundation, which celebrates the livesof women living with breast cancer.

Instructional TechnologyCoordinatorMargieMatthewsencourages St. Ursula Acad-emy students to take part inthis event.

“Students do not alwayshave a clear understanding ofwhat ‘technology’ means.Many see it as a solitary pro-fession inhabited by geekypeople. TechOlympics alongwith the other INTERallianceprograms helps to bust thatmyth by showcasing the widevariety of exciting tech pro-fessions there are in almostevery field. The TechOlym-pics Expo and competition isnot only informative but greatfun as well. That was obviousfrom the active participation,thecheersandthesmiles fromthe students.”

BATAVIA — Opportunitycan arise at any time.

In the case of 2010 Finney-town High School graduateand current Queen City Leg-ends pitcher MichaelDeitsch, that time is now.

Deitsch – who recentlygraduated from the Univer-sity of Rio Grande – hastossed a team-high 40 and 2/3innings for the Legends thisseason and boasts a 2.43 ERAwith 60 strikeouts en route toa 3-2 record. His fastball,which runs anywhere be-tween 88-92 miles per hour,and strong curveball haveearned the formerWildcat anopportunity to attend an in-vite-only tryout with theCleveland Indians in August,aswell as aprivateworkout infront of major league scoutsscheduled for July 19. All ofthis comes just weeks afterDeitsch made the decision tocontinueplayingsummerballwhen he could’ve hung up thecleats and moved on.

“I played in pretty goodleagues the past two years insummer ball, but I just decid-ed to play some more,”Deitsch said before the Leg-ends beat the Cincinnati Co-balts14-2 July15 at BrianWil-son Field.

The Legends are part ofthe Southern Ohio Valley Col-legiate League and are

coachedbycurrentRogerBa-con High School assistantcoach Ryan Desjardins, whograduated from ColerainHigh School in 2000 and wenton to play for the College ofMount St. Joseph (nownamedMountSt. JosephUniversity).

For Desjardins it was a no-brainer when he discoveredDeitsch had interest in lacingit up for the Legends.

“He just wanted to con-tinue to play and I told himwe’d get some scouts out towatch him,” the coach said.

TheLegendshavewonfivestraight (as of July16) andare13-9 on the season with tworegular season games to playbefore the SOVCL tourna-ment begins July 24.

Offensively, CincinnatiHills Christian Academygraduate, Danny Moorehead,is leading the way. The thirdbaseman is hitting .408 in 71plate appearanceswith12 sto-len bases and is tied for sec-ond on the team with 14 RBI.Summit Country Day gradu-ateGabeScottwas a late-min-ute addition to the team andhas given the Legends a hugeboost with his .373 batting av-erage, 11 RBI and especiallyhis defensive skills.

Other local players: CoryCook of Northwest, EricStieneofMoeller, JamesMor-timore of Colerain, EricGrant of Beechwood andplayers fromLakota East andMason.

ANDERSON TWP. — Not a badgift for mom.

Moeller High School gradu-ate Andrew Dorn of West Ches-ter won his second consecutiveOhio Amateur golf champion-ship on his mother’s birthday.The rising senior atCoastalCar-olinawon the title July11thanksin large part to his five-under-par closing round of 66 at Cold-stream Country Club.

Dorn finished the four-dayevent at 276, eight under par,one stroke ahead of MariemontHigh School senior-to-be WillGrimmer. Coldstream memberandLoveland residentBillyWil-liamson was the next best localplacer with a 287 tourney thatleft him tied for sixth.

“It’s great to win back-to-back, especially here in Cincin-nati,” Dorn said. “It’s alwaysnice to play in your home townand do well in front of yourfriends and family.”

Dorn and Grimmer eachearned national attention as am-ateur qualifiers to theU.S.Openin June at Pinehurst. Grimmerled the state tourney field bythree strokes going into the lastdayof competition, butDornap-plied pressure early and caughtthe leader on the back nine.

“After I birdied (number)three and got within two shots -and that’s really only one hole - Ifelt like I could do it,”Dorn said.“Obviously, there’s a little bit ofconfidence being the defending

champ, but that gotme started.”Dorn birdied the short par-

four 15th hole to tie Grimmer.Both playersmade birdie on thedogleg left 16th to remain even,but Dorn said that hole tippedthe scales in his favor.

“Will stuck his shot close so Iput mine up on the green andwasable tomakeabouta15-foot-er,”hesaid. “Thatwasdefinitelythe turning point. I think Ishowed him I wasn’t goingaway.”

And on the the long, straightpar-four 17th, Dorn pulledahead. Grimmer split the fair-way with his drive, while Dornended up in the right rough. ButDorn made his approach to the

green and two putted for par,while Grimmer found himselfjust off the green.

“I hit a perfect drive,” Grim-mer said. “I was in the bunkerthe firstdayand in therough thesecond, so itwasa toughhole forme all week. I was in betweenclubs and I wound with a toughchip. I ran it past the hole andmissed the come-back putt forpar. That was it.

“I was proud of myself formaking a tough par on the 18thand finishing strong, but the17thgotme. (Dorn)playedgreatall week, like you’d expect thedefending champ to do.”

Dorn returned the compli-ment.

“Will’s a great player,” hesaid. “I just told him to keep hishead up.He’s a great player andhas a lot of time to takehis gameabove and beyond where it isnow.”

Grimmer will begin his finalseason at Mariemont in Augustwith aneyeonhis college futureat Ohio State University.

“It’s the last year, so it’s goingto be great fun to play with theguys from my school one moreseason,” he said. “I have somegoals, but it will still be fun.

“I still have three really bigtournaments left (this summer)before I start thinking about thehigh school season. I have theU.S. Junior Amateur, JuniorPGA Championship, and theU.S.Amateur. I didn’twin today,but my game is definitely in theright form going into these nextfew weeks.”

Mariemont High School rising senior Will Grimmer hits his approach July 11on the 17th hole at ColdstreamCountry Club in the final round of the Ohio Amateur golf tournament. Grimmer led going into the finalround of play, but finished the tournament in second, one stroke behind champion Andrew Dorn. MARK D.

XENIA—With a report-ed 18 Major League Base-ball scouts in attendance,several local playershelped lead the Southteam to a 6-1 victory overthe North in the GreatLakes Summer CollegiateLeague All-Star GameJuly 16 at Grady’s Field inXenia.

Roger Bacon HighSchool 2011 graduate andcurrent member of theCincinnati Steam BrianBienwas0-1butdrove inarunvia a sacrifice fly dur-ing the South’s three-runsecond inning that putthem ahead for good.

Bien’s Steam team-mate Jason DeFeversscored on the aforemen-tioned sac fly aftergrounding into a fielder’schoice that produced theteam’s second run of thegame.

DeFevers has put to-gether quite a first seasonwith theSteamand isabigreason the team sits justone game out of firstplace. He ranks first onthe team with 17 RBI andis second in doubles (sev-en) and hits (30).

“I made a couple ad-justments with the swingand I’ve been swinging itreal well lately,” thecatcher said after theSouth’s victory. “I’m hav-ing fun and theseguys aregreat to play with.”

First-yearSteamcoachBrad Gschwind made hisall-star coaching debutleading the South to vic-tory. It was chance for the

25-year-old Lakota Westgraduate and formerSteam player to sit backand watch his guys per-form on the big stage.

“Our guys have playedwell all year and these sixguys are deserving of theopportunity to play in theall-star game,” the coachsaid. “They’ve had a goodyear for us and they didwell tonight.”

Bien and DeFeverswere joined by team-mates Scott Sebald, MattJefferson (Northern Ken-tucky University), JacobBodner (Xavier Univer-sity) and Derek Lance(University of Tennes-see).

Sebald’s all-star expe-rience was a quick andproductive outing. Afterstarting for the Steam

July 14, Sebald was limit-ed to facing just one bat-ter in the all-star game. Ittook the former ColerainHigh School star just onepitch to retire his man.

“We talked about it be-fore the game; (coach)said even if it’s one pitchyou’re done,” Sebald saidof his outing. “I saw thekid hit it and I just startedlaughing and said, ‘Well,come get me now.’ ”

Hamilton Joes pitcherand Cincinnati Hill Chris-tian Academy graduateJacob Banks tossed oneinning in the game, andmade it interesting for theSouth squad. The right-hander, who has onlywalked eight batters in 19and 2/3 innings of work

EAST END — Familiarnames and faces foundtheir way to the finals.

The 2014 Thomas E.Price Metropolitan ten-nis singles tournamentconcluded with a pair ofpast champions takinghome trophies.

On the women’s side,top seed Marie Matrkadefended her 2013 titleand tookher sixth singlescrown overall July 19with a three-set victoryover second-seededAmi-na Ismail, 6-7 (7-4), 6-3,6-3.

This after playingboth ends of a softballdoubleheader earlier inthe day.

“Softball is really notthat hard,” Matrka said.“It’s a lot of standingaround. This was a lotharder.”

Matrka dug a deephole for herself early,falling down love-5 in thefirst set before breakingIsmail’s serve in fourstraight games whileholding her own to forcethe tiebreaker.

She pulled amuscle inher abdomen in the sec-ond set and stoppedreaching on her serve,just tapping the ball inplay and relying on herbaseline game to stayclose. Ismail led3-2 in thesecondsetwhenshewentdown to the clay surface,writhing in pain.

“My legs just lost feel-ing then I cramped up,”said Ismail, a recentKings High School grad-

uate headed for XavierUniversity. “I couldn’tmove too well after that.But I’m still pretty happy(with the tournament)overall.”

Matrka said Amina isa great player. “After shegot hurt, she started real-ly going for my serves;she was a lot more ag-gressive because shecouldn’t get back andforth as well. She hitsome amazing shots, butI held on,” she said.

“It’s pretty special forme at 30 years old to beatsomebody who’s just 18with talent like hers.”

Men’s winner DougMatthewsofMadeirahasa special connection tothe tournament, too. It’snamed after his grandfa-ther.

After falling to finalsopponent Wyatt Lippert -the topseedand two-time

defending champion - inthe 2012 semifinals andthe 2013 championshipmatch, Matthews washappy to have 19-month-old daughter Kinsleyhelp him hoist the silvercup he earned with a 7-6(8-6), 7-5 victory overLippert.

ItwasMatthews’ thirdcareer singles title andthe second time he’d wonit on his mother’s birth-day.

“This is my best winfor a long time,” he said.“When you haven’tplayed in a tournamentfrom this time last yearto nowand still improvedthe way I did, I’m prettyhappy. I was thinkingabout (Lippert) all year,probably more than hewas thinking about me.”

GREENTWP.—ForAlexDeters the 2014BrineNa-tional Lacrosse Classicwasn’t just an opportuni-ty to showcase his skillsin net, but ultimately achance for him to getcomfortable with thegame again.

The St. Xavier HighSchool junior-to-be wascompeting for the start-ing job during preseasonworkouts with the Bomb-ers before he fracturedhis hip, essentially bring-ing his high school seasonto a close.

“Brine was my firsttime I played up tomypo-tential since I got hurt,”Deters said. “It was aprocess. … Eventually Itook enough reps so ev-erything was back to nor-mal.”

Deterswasoneof1,900to be named a 2014 BrineNational High School All-Americanandbeselectedfor the national showcasethat included high school,middle school and girlsdivisions June 30-July 4at the Maryland Soccer-plex.

While the Team Ohiohigh school team finishedjust 2-2, failing to make itout of pool play, Detersearned himself somelooks along the way.

“A lot of playing goalieis how you’re feeling thatday,” theBomber said. “Ifyou’re feeling well thenyou’re playing well andyouhadagoodday. Ihada

couple of those days andtheexposurehelped. I gotsome calls and emailsfrom some college coach-es pertaining to my per-formance.”

Team Ohio featuredplayers from WalnutHills High School, Arch-bishop Moeller HighSchool, Summit CountryDay School and ElderHigh School, while thegirls team featured EvieGoodyearandHaleyRay-burn of Sycamore HighSchool.

Moeller head coachSean McGinnis is in hisfourth year as an assis-tant with Team Ohio andloves the idea of his Mid-western lacrosse playersfinally getting the expo-sure they’ve warranted.

“It’s just a great eventfor Midwestern players

to showcase their tal-ents,”hesaid. “It’s agreattime to play a lot of greathigh school lacrosseplay-ers and you’re goingthere as Team Ohio andthe guys take pride inrepresenting their state.”

That pride came pour-ing out when Team Ohiotook onTeamMichigan inthe final game of poolplay. With poor weatherin the area, the game wasdelayed until 9 p.m. be-foreTeamOhio blitzed itsway to an 8-2 victory.Team Ohio not onlyknocked Team Michiganout of tournament play,but they earned a third-place finish in pool play,one spot ahead of thestate to the north.

“It was kind of a funnysituation,” McGinnissaid. “I think the Michi-

gan and Ohio familieswere the only ones into it.Itwasafunwaytoendtheevent.”

As for Deters, Brinewas a launching pad forwhat he did at the Best ofthe Best National Invita-tional over Fourth of Julyweekend with his club la-crosse team, TitaniumLacrosse.Withmore than60 college scouts andcoaches in attendance,Deters put together hisbest at the right time.

“That’s when I playedreallywell,” the junior-to-be said. “The team didn’tcome together like Ithought we would, butthere were a lot of scoutson the sidelines, so it wasa great time to play reallywell.”

“I worked harderonce I got full bases try-ing to get out of there

without too many runs,”Banks said. “It was agreat experience. Ididn’t throw well, but itwas a great experiencebeing able to play withand talk with all the bestplayers in our league.”

July 16 questionDo you feel safe when you go

to Downtown Cincinnati? Why orwhy not?

“There have been recentcriminal events downtown, suchas a robbery at a FountainSquare Bar andHamilton Coun-tyProsecutor JoeDeters’ sonat-tacked during the taste of Cin-cinnati. Itseemstheseeventsoc-cur too often for my feeling to-tally safe.When IgodowntownIpark in a garage within a half-block ofmy destination or valet.I do not venture beyond that‘safe haven.’ Back in the1960s-1980s I felt very comfort-able walking the streets ofdowntown. I no longer feel thatway. However the Banks offersa nice alternative along withNorthernKentucky.GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

“Yep. I guess because I’m allman. (Only been jumped once,and it wasn’t in Cincinnati).”

D.H.

“Going to downtown Cincin-nati for events are a thing of thepast my family. Twenty eightsyears with the Cincinnati FireDepartment, I knowwhat reallygoes on in the bright lights. Notjust the murders we hear on thenews, it’s thethingsyoudon’tseeon the news. The robberies,muggings, assaults and vehiclesbeingbroken into everyday thatdoesn’t make it on the newskeeps me from downtown andsurrounding communities.

“Theyears ofCincydraggingits feet on development allowedthe suburbs to grow and expandin entertainment, eateries andcommerce you can frequentwithout looking over your shoul-der or feeling the need to carryprotection, will keep familiesout of the ‘Big City.’

“Cincinnati decided yearsago to cater to the squeakywheel ... how’d that work out foryou Cincy?”

M. Blust

“I feelsafewhenIgotodown-town Cincinnati during the day.At night, less so, primarily be-cause of negative experiencesacquaintances have encoun-tered, coupledwith simply read-ing the Enquirer about thecountless acts of lawlessnessperpetrated by evildoers. Near-er to the river is relatively safe,thefurthernorthonetravels, thegreater the risk. Primary cause:rampant abuse of meth and her-oin. Solutions: I wish I knew.”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

The Eastern Corridor Pro-gram of projects will benefitmany East Side communities,and Anderson Township is noexception.

Both An-derson Town-ship and theHamiltonCounty Engi-neer’s Officeclearly un-derstand thecritical rela-tionship be-tween sustain-able communi-ties and trans-

portation infrastructure that issafe and efficient. This un-derstanding has been a moti-vating force over the years forAnderson Township and Ham-ilton County to collaboratewith the City of Cincinnati,Clermont County, the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana RegionalCouncil of Governments andthe Southwest Ohio RegionalTransit Authority to advancethe Eastern Corridor ProjectPreliminary Engineering andEnvironmental Impact Studywork effort.

There are four primaryEastern Corridor projects (RedBank Corridor improvements,the potential relocation of stateRoute 32, improvements to

state Route 32 in the Eastgatearea and the Oasis Rail Transitproject), as well as more than100 local network improve-ments designed to ease con-gestion, provide additionalconnectivity, improve safetyand stimulate economic devel-opment.

Travel through the easternportion of the Greater Cincin-nati metropolitan area – theEastern Corridor – has longbeen a challenge. The regionhas few direct transportationroutes, forcing vehicles ontolengthy circuitous stretches ofI-275 and I-471 or onto crowdedroads like US 50, SR 32, SR 125(Beechmont Avenue), CloughRoad and SR 561 (LinwoodAvenue), many of which windthrough residential neigh-borhoods, to reach their desti-nations.

Over the years, numerouscomments have been receivedfrom citizens and officialsabout the congestion of road-ways serving the local commu-nities in the Eastern Corridorstudy area including AndersonTownship. The Eastern Corri-dor engineering studies con-ducted indicate various sec-tions of these roadways willexperience additional con-gestion resulting in unstabletraffic flow at a level of ser-

vice of E (capacity) or F (traf-fic demand exceeding capac-ity) during rush hour if the nobuild alternative is adopted.

Each of the Eastern Corri-dor projects is viable in that itresolves a problem on its ownand merits completion. Howev-er, the Eastern Corridor wasnever designed on the strengthof any one project. Their com-

plementary nature generatesthe greatest regional value,and the benefits to local trav-elers grow exponentially whenprojects are completed in acoordinated, regionally-sup-ported sequence.

Many of you have likelytraveled through the Eastgatearea recently and have noticedthe Eastern Corridor project

work taking place at the I-275/SR 32 interchange. These im-provements are absolutelycritical to improving safety inand around the Eastgate area.

Making sure that the trav-eling public can safely move inand out of residential neigh-borhoods once they exit masstransit and/or roadway infra-structure that supports thecounty is an important compo-nent of our work.

The improvements beingcompleted in the Eastern Cor-ridor will return local streetsto the local communities, andprovide more and better con-nectivity to help local resi-dents get to their destinationsmore efficiently. AndersonTownship is directly connectedto the rest of Hamilton Countyat only three locations. TheEastern Corridor Project isproposed to make available anadditional multi-modal connec-tion that will accommodatebike, pedestrian, transit androadway travel. This additionalconnection will provide al-ternate access to AndersonTownship in the event roadclosures occur due to floods,landslides or other circum-stances.

Now that we have seenthe Ohio third-grade statereading test results wasanyone surprised that 14,000third-grade students failedto achieve a passing score?

Fortunately, state offi-cials are providing studentsadditional opportunities toshow reading proficiency byaccepting minimum satis-factory scores from alterna-tive tests. Nevertheless,next year a small percentageof third-graders will inevita-bly remain in third-gradereading classes until theyachieve a passing grade.

Looking toward the imme-diate future, the percentageof next year’s third-gradestudents who fail to achievethe minimum passing scoreof 392 will more than likelyincrease. Revised tests thatfocus on common standards,plus the transition frompencil and paper exams toonline responses will be-come the leading contrib-utors to this dishearteningchange.

Surely everyone realizesthat the third-grade readingtest scores not only reflectstudents’ achievement ofjust one year, but all of theother years preceding third-grade as well.

So, any adaptations inreading programs, teachingtechniques, and instruction-al strategies must occur atall levels rather than justthird-grade.

Are there proactive in-structional interventions

that schooladminis-trators andteachersshould con-sider to in-sure that thehighest pos-sible numberof third-graders suc-ceed? Al-though there

is no one panacea or scriptedprogram, there are multipleeducational options that areworthy of pursuit. Whateverchoices schools make theyshould think in terms ofthree educational principles.

First, school districts thatintegrate elementary devel-opmental reading programswith the other major lan-guage components of listen-ing, writing, and speakingwill have a far greaterchance of assuring studentsuccess than those whochoose to teach reading asan isolated discipline. Thisapproach follows the basiclanguage tenet of “what Ihear, I can say. What I say, Ican write. And what I canwrite, I can read.”

Recognizing the realitythat all students do not growat the same pace is a funda-mental concept of the teach-ing-learning process is thesecond principle. Schooldistricts that enable ele-mentary teachers to identifyand implement reading-language programs designedto meet the developmental

reading needs of individualstudents will empower chil-dren with academic successin the classroom as well assee significant progress withannual test results.

Third, school adminis-trators should make a deter-mined effort to lift the bur-den of the excessive numberof summative tests adminis-tered within a single gradelevel. Through the use ofinformal observations, ques-tions and reflective skills,teachers know where theirstudents are performing ona daily basis. As a resultthey can devise plans, activ-ities and strategies in realtime to address weaknessesor capitalize on strengths.

Children come to schoolwith an infinite number ofinterests, skills and expecta-tions.

Taking advantage of theirrich experiences, progres-sive educators can use theirprofessional expertise tocreate multiple languagelearning opportunities foreach child to achieve suc-cess.

Once this happens we willsee elementary studentsadvance academically aswell as increase their scoreson Ohio’s state standardizedreading test.

A cast of 22 students andcrew at The SummitCountry Day School re-

cently took audiences back to16thCenturySpain and theSpan-ish Inquisition during their per-formances of “Man of La Man-cha.”

Summit actors and actressesperformed this play-within-a-play, based on the classic novel“Don Quixote” by Miguel deCervantes. Senior Nick Inglinof Loveland portrayed the titu-lar character of Cervantes,alongwith his alter egos AlonsoQuijana and Don Quixote de LaMancha.

Other castmembers are sen-iors Marie Cossins of AndersonTownship, Carolyn Eyre ofLovelandandRadekLordofVil-la Hills, Ky.; juniors Brenna

Biggs, Nick Romanelli and Sa-rah Scoville, all of Hyde Park,ThomasCoughlinandMaverickThurston, both of AndersonTownship, Gavin Majeski ofMadeira, Natalie Pearl of New-port, Ky., Nathan Whitsett ofCincinnati and Alex Winzen-read of West Chester; sopho-mores Haley Bosse of HydePark, Lucy Schroder of Mt.Lookout, Elisa Stanis of GreenTownship and Jackson Xiongand Jenny Zhang, both of Ma-son; andfreshmenCarterFeeofAnderson Township, DaneFranke of Cincinnati and SkylaLee of Korea.

First-year director Tom Pe-ters worked with choral direc-torTheresaMerrill toputon theshow with an ensemble of ac-tors who play various parts, de-

pending on the scene.Those scenes were better

heard and seen by the audience,because it was performed on araked, or sloped, stage.

Peters said he and the setcrew built a raked stage be-cause of the visual and audibleimprovements, but also be-cause the show has been tradi-tionally performed on one.

Peters also said that he andMerrill chose “Man of La Man-cha” for the Upper School’sspring musical to complementwhat the students are studyingin the classroom.

“I also picked ‘Man of LaMancha’ because it’s not yourstandard fare,” he said. “It’s atougher showtodoand I like thetheme of it. It fits in the themeof The Summit to ‘aim high.’”

Another week here ofsimple country plea-sures: the Caudill kidsfrom down the roadpicking bouquets offlowers frommy garden

for theirmoms, andgrandsonsLuke, Willand Jackcomingover tospend thenight,catchingcrayfishand swim-ming in

the East Fork with theirfriends.

When the grandkidsspend the night, they getto eat their favoritemeals in the family roomwhile watching cartoons.I usually makemy ver-sion of Rice Krispietreats, as well. I addvanilla and more butterthan the recipe calls for,and they are addictive,even for grownups. Allgood fun comes to anend, and by the time Idropped them off attheir house the next day,I had three tired boystumbling out of the car.

It dawned onme thatI hadn’t thought of sup-per for my husband,Frank, and me so Istopped at the groceryon the way home. Chick-en was on sale. I boughtthe ubiquitous boneless,skinless, breasts. I wasfeeling more than a bitlazy and was wonderinghow I might fix themwhen Frank said “kabobssound good.” Well, Ididn’t have time nor theambition to marinatethem in my favoriteGreek marinade. I took a

hint from JimHennes-sey, our deacon at HolyTrinity in Batavia, andsimply brushed themwith olive oil, seasonedsalt and pepper. Jimmade kabobs like thesefor a class we taughttogether and they weredarn good. I’m sharingthat simple recipe today.

Simple chickenkabobs

Now these won’t havethe “layers of flavor”like marinated chicken,but I’ll sacrifice that foreasy and tasty anytime.All I had on hand in addi-tion to the chicken wasgarden zucchini and redonion so that’s what wenton the kabobs.

Boneless, skinlesschicken breasts cut into1” pieces or so

Thickly wedged redonion

Thick slices zucchiniOptional but good:

mushrooms, bell pepper,partially cooked potatoes

Olive oilSeasoning saltPepperAlternate pieces of

chicken (I put 2 piecesnext to each other on askewer) with veggies.Brush with olive oil andseasoning and grill overhigh heat until chicken isdone and veggies are abit charred, about 8-10minutes.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

When skeweringmeat, leave a little spacebetween each piece ofmeat and it will grillmore evenly since theheat can penetratequicker.

Soak wooden skewers

in water about 30 min-utes ahead of time sothey don’t burn on thegrill.

Tamari almondsFor the reader who

likes tamari nuts fromthe specialty store andwants to learn to makethem at home. “They’reexpensive and I lovethem but they’re a bud-get breaker”, he said.These are not for thetimid. Tamari is a moreaged, thicker type saucesimilar to soy.

1 pound raw wholealmonds

1/4 cup plus a gener-ous 2 tablespoons Tamarisauce

Preheat the oven to350. Sprinkle almondswith 1/4 cup of the tamarisauce andmix until thor-oughly covered. Spreadin a single layer onsprayed baking sheet.Save any extra sauce inbowl - it will be used.Bake 10 minutes, stirringonce. Remove from ovenand put nuts back intosamemixing bowl andsprinkle with the 2 table-spoons of tamari sauceuntil they’re coated.Spread again onto bakingsheet and continue bak-ing until toasted and dry,about 7 to 10 minutes.Remove and let cool toroom temperature.

Few people like to payutility bills – let alonebills that they did notincur.

But several propertyowners are learning theyare responsible for suchbills and the charges canamount to thousands ofdollars.

The first case con-cerns a home in whichthe tenant was evictedtwo years ago for non-payment of rent and van-dalism. The propertyowner has now learnedduring the course of thetenant’s three-year occu-pancy he never paid a

water orsewer bill.

Thepropertyowner saysCincinnatiWaterWorks tellsher it hadto turn offthe waterat that

home on six differentoccasions because therenter kept turning itback on.

Cincinnati WaterWorks has now sent theproperty owner a bill for$2,400 for the unpaid

charges. The bill has justnow been received be-cause Cincinnati WaterWorks says it never hadthe home address of theproperty owner – so italways sent the bills tothe rental property.

To protect yourself,property owners need tonotify the utility compa-nies when renters aremoving in and give theirhome address and in-structions to notify theowners immediately ifthere’s a billing problem.

A second case involvesan Independence couplewho had notified Duke

Energy they were theowners of a rental proper-ty. In fact, they signed aLandlord ConvenienceContract that allowed theutilities to be switchedback into their name,without notification, inorder to protect the prop-erty.

The problem occurredafter they sold the rentalproperty and, years later,received a bill for utilitiesat that property. Theywrite, “After several callsI’m being told there’snothing they can do, thatthe debt is my responsi-bility even though they

know I haven’t owned thebuilding in two years.”

The bill is now up to$1,480, but the owners sayit’s not right. Duke Ener-gy says, while it can’taddress specific cases,the Landlord Conve-nience Contract requiresthe property owner tonotify Duke if the proper-ty is sold or if the conve-nience contract needs tobe cancelled.

Duke says withoutwritten notification it hasno way of knowing theproperty was sold andsomeone else is respon-sible.

Bottom line, if you’re aproperty owner makesure you notify all utilitycompanies that renterswill be moving in and youare to be notified at youraddress if there’s a prob-lemwith billing. Then,when you sell the proper-ty don’t forget to notifythe utilities you’re nolonger responsible.
