grams and initiatives.“This event provides
students with an under-standing of what highschool is like so they areprepared to make themost of their high schoolexperience,” said ErikaDaggett, SycamoreSchools chief informationofficer, in a press release.
Many of the juniorhighstudents askedabouthow tomanage timewhilejuggling school work, be-ing a member of teamsand clubs and possiblyhaving a part-time job.
“Take classes that youreally enjoy, so you wantto be doing stuff. Don’ttorture yourself just toseem like a better stu-dent,” senior KirttikaChatterjee said.
Senior Elizabeth Ro-senberg said procrasti-nating on school work iseasier to do in the junior
or GEAR, which providesmembers with regularupdateson local, stateandfederal education pro-
high than in high schoolbecause of the increasedwork load.
“I know it’s hard to be-lieve, but Netflix is notyour friend, especiallyduring the week,” shesaid.
Senior Taylor Combs,who is a student chair andteam captain for Relayfor Life, advised the stu-dents not to get involvedin too many clubs as afreshmen, but to find onethey really like and staywith it.
Combs said that forstudents who are feelingoverwhelmed by thecourse load, the school of-fers a Fast Track pro-gram, which is a studyhall where students helpyounger students withtheir assignments.
The high school stu-dents warned the young-er students not to spend
everyday stressing aboutgetting into college andbeing the best at every-thing.
Chatterjee said highschool has lots of opportu-nities for students to beranked against each oth-er, such as class rank, get-ting into National HonorSociety and ACT and SATscores.
“Which means moreand more opportunitiesfor you to sometimes notwin. That is OK, there area lot of kids in the highschool and a lot of kidsthat are doing really well.It doesn’t mean you’renot,” she said.
Rosenberg, who par-ticipates in the theaterde-partment and choir andplans to major in vocalperformance, said highschool is a time for stu-dents to find out whatthey enjoy.
“It might be reallypainful to see all of yourfriends get into NHS, butit’s not going to ruin yourlife. We are all real smartkids – and I know youguys are too – in our ownway and if you’re not inNHS, it is OK you are stillgoing to go to college anddo want you in life,” Ro-senberg said.
The high school stu-dents’ ending advice tothe junior high studentswas to enjoy their experi-enceat thehighschoolbe-cause it will go by fasterthan they think.
“It’s high school, ex-plore. This is not the timeforyoutodecidewhatyouwant to do with your life.Don’t stress, have a goodtime,” senior Nick Her-shey said.

“It feels good we add-ed something to theschool that everyoneuses and loves,” said
Township, suggested in-stalling a sound domethat isolates music to a
specific area of the room.Salvado said the
changes have been wel-comed by the students.“People like somethingthat is new,” she said.

Springdale HealthCommissioner CammieMitrione said the first daywas quiet.
“No one stopped by onMonday,” she said. “Itgave them the chance toacclimate.”
The Cincinnati Ex-change Program was cre-ated to help fight a dra-matic increase in hepatitisC cases linked to intrave-nous heroin use in the re-gion. The program is thethird in Ohio, with othersin Cleveland and Ports-mouth.
The short-term goal ofthe needle exchange, nowhoused in a large whitevan parked twice a weekon a shopping center’sparking lot, is to help drugusers who are not yetready for recovery to stayaliveandashealthyaspos-sible until they can enterdrug treatment. The ulti-mate goal is seeing themclean from drugs and dis-ease-free.
“This is a medicalhealth care facility onwheels,” Springdale Po-lice Chief Michael Mathissaid. “Peoplego tomedicalhealth care facilities forcounseling already.”
Dr. Judith Feinberg,who works at the Infec-tious Diseases Center atthe University of Cincin-nati Medical Center, saidinanewsreleaseannounc-ingtheprogram,“Wedon’twant people using heroin,and we certainly want toencourage them to enterdrug treatment. If they’renotyetreadyforrecovery,thenwewant tokeep themhealthy and alive untilthey are.”
Public health depart-ments are seeing a dra-matic increase in hepatitisC cases, and some have at-tributed the rise to in-creased IV drug use and,more specifically, the her-oin epidemic in the region.Hamilton County’s healthdepartment reported anincrease from 941 hepati-tisCcases in 2010 to1,141a
year later.Hamilton County re-
corded 204 drug overdosedeaths in 2012, accordingto data from the countycoroner’s office, up from189 in 2011. Most of thosewere from opioids such asheroin and prescriptionpainkillers such as Oxy-Contin and Percocet. The204 overdose deaths arethe most on record inHamilton County.
“We’re not going to sitoutside anybody’s doctoroffice where they’re try-ing togethealth treatmentfor a very real problem.But we won’t tolerate law-lessness,” Mathis said. “Ifwe catch people sellingdrugs or using drugs orcoming into the communi-ty and causing problems,they’regoing togetarrest-ed.”
Norwood-based Inter-act for Health provided a$50,000 one-year grant topay for the project man-ager and for sterile sy-ringes, sterile cotton andother items.
Feinberg asked Spring-dale City Council in Juneto support the project,though Mitrione had theauthoritytomakethedeci-sion.
Springdale was one offive local health depart-ments Feinberg ap-proached about the pro-gram. The others that ei-ther declined or made nodecision were Cincinnati,Hamilton County, Nor-wood and Sharonville.
Feinberg still hopes toexpand the program toother areas.
“The board (of health)at this time supportsSpringdale’s efforts,”Sharonville Health Com-missioner Dennis Propessaid. “With the van beingin such close proximity toour jurisdiction, they feltitwould be best to take theawait-and-seeapproach tobetter gauge the need andeffectiveness of the pro-gram.”
Springdale’s CityCoun-cil supported the initia-tive, and after Feinbergsecured money for thefirst year, the RV rolledinto Springdale Feb. 10,settling into the corner ofthe shopping plaza. Thevan will be parked there
on Mondays from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. and Thursdaysfrom 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
“That gives people anopportunity to come ontheir lunch hour or afterthey get kids off fromschool,” Feinberg toldmembers of council, “orbetween work and goinghome.”
Theprogramhas set upa website,www.cincyep.org, with
more information as wellas directions to the OldeGate Plaza on NorthlandBoulevard.
Clients, referred byhealth professionals andthose who hear about thevan through word ofmouth and media cover-age can exchange onedirty, or used, needle for anew one.
Clients will receivecounseling and will be of-
fered a prescription fornaloxone, an antidote to beused in case of overdose.The prescriptionwould befilled atHart Pharmacy in
West Price Hill.The program also will
provide rapid testing forHIV, hepatitis C and preg-nancy.

PHARMACIST: ‘IT’S A GOOD PROJECTMimi Hart, pharmacist and co-owner of Hart Pharmacy,
said she serves as the pharmacist consultant for the Centerfor Chemical Addictions Treatment on Ezzard Charles Driveand the needle exchange project reached out to her aboutparticipating in the prescription program.“It’s a good project,” she said. “When you have more
people dying from heroin and opioid overdoses than fromcar accidents, you have a major problem.”Naloxone is a safe drug, in that it’s only effective in
treating an overdose, she said.“The medicine can’t be used for anything else,” Hart
said. “If you take it when you’re not in an overdose, it’s theequivalent of shooting water up your nose.”Some people may be critical of making a prescription for
treating overdoses available, claiming it provides no in-centive to addicts to seek help since they know they cantake medicine to come out of an overdose, but Hart saidshe doesn’t see it that way.“You never know when that next overdose will cause
someone to turn it around,” she said. “You have to givepeople the benefit of the doubt.”

SYCAMORE HIGH SCHOOL HIGH HONOR ROLL
Mount Notre Dame studentswent to Liberty, KY, on a servicetrip and to get a taste of a moresimplewayof life– toslowdown,breathe and get closer to God.
Libertyisasmall towntuckedinto the hills of central Ken-tucky, and home to many won-derful people and a slower paceof life. For sevenyears, studentsand adults have visited Libertyto work with the residents wholive lives focused on simplicityand faith. The weekend of Oct.24-27, 56 students and 12 adultswent to experience the way oflife in Liberty.
While in Liberty, the groupworked on several organicfarms (picking, planting, sort-ing, watering, preparing theground, cleaning plants, trim-ming), helped elderly and dis-abled, spent time with residentsat the non-profit Galilean Chil-dren’sHome, helped install elec-trical wire in a communitychurch, shoveled manure,helped with construction pro-jects, spent time with the chil-drenof thecommunitywhohavebeen through somemajor trage-dies the past two years, andmuchmore.
The MND team also devel-oped a sense of communityamong participants and friendsin Liberty: together they playedvolleyball, enjoyed folk music,
have bonfires, lay under thestars and reflect about life.
“Ibelievethatnoonecanreal-ly understand what Liberty isuntil they experience it them-selves.TosaythatLiberty isedu-
cational is an understatementandIlookforwardtothenewsto-ries, the new lessons that I willencounter on future trips,” saidMND student from the class of2016, Maria Beckman of Love-
land, who participated in thetrip.
MNDmakes the trip toLiber-tythreetimesayear,andtheyof-ten do a Christmas visit to seethe local play. The organizer of
the trip,ToddForman,MNDfac-ulty member, has been takingstudentsandadultchaperonestoLiberty since 1988. This is For-man’s seventh year at MND andthis wasMND’s 23rd trip.

SYCAMORE TWP — Thoughthey’ve hovered near the mid-dle-of-the-pack of the GreaterMiami Conference, SycamoreHigh School bowling coachJames Lee thinks his Aviatorboys might be able to roll theirway to Columbus.
At least some of them.Competing in the GMC
comes with its hard knocks, butsometimes toughercompetitionis a benefit. For example, Syca-more just defeated Milford atCrossgate Lanes on Feb. 11.
Milford recently took downEastern Cincinnati Conferencepowerhouse Glen Este. The les-son learned is don’t judge theAves by their record.
“We have a lot of teams fromthe west side that kill it everyyear,”Leesaid. “Wealwaystendto start out slow thenwe reach apoint toward the end of our sea-sonwherewestartpicking itup.We’re looking good to go to dis-tricts, which we went to lastyear for the first time.”
Lee’s crew starts with a hud-dled cheer of the Tuskegee Air-men from the movie, “RedTails” before the three-holedspheres start flying.
Seniors Joey Morris andChad Estill lead with averagesranging from 194 to 206. AdamMerk and JohnMcLaughlin areLee’s other seniors and a pair offreshmen, Gerry Orellana andNathan Estill have factored inthe equation.
“One has a 180 average andthe other a 170 average,” Leesaid.
Estill, McLaughlin, Merkand Morris have been with Leefor the duration of his threeyears at Sycamore.
“Of the four seniors I have, Iexpect three will go on to colle-giate bowling,” Lee said. “Thisis going to be a bittersweet end-ing for me.”
Once that quartet departs,Lee will rely on Orellana , theyounger Estill, and a few othersbeing groomed.
The highlight of the currentseason for the Aves actuallycame last Dec. 22 at EasternLanes in Middletown when theboys team bowled a Baker 300.
“It’s pretty rare to do,” Leesaid. “It’s what we’re kind offeeding off of. One struck, theother one said, ‘I’m going to do
thesame.’Therest of themsaid,‘It’s your turn,’ and it kept goingand going. I loved everyminuteof it!”
The Sycamore girls havestruggled as a team but havebeen led by seniors AllisonRolfes andLindsay andMorganGrzegorzewski. Rolfes tops theaverages around the 150 mark.
Three years ago, Lee startedwith five boys and five girls to-tal and has since seen the squadgrow to include a boys juniorvarsity team.
He figures he’ll be roamingthe halls laying his sales pitchdown again after this year.
“Anybody that’s a bowlerwill tell you bowling’s 90 per-cent mental and 10 percentskill,” Lee said. “If you can getout of your own head, you canthrowtheball.Bowling’s a sportfor everyone. It doesn’t matterwhat your body shape is or yourathleticism is. If you can walkfour steps and hold a 10-15pound ball, you can bowl.”
Sycamore rolls into the sec-tionals Feb. 19-20.

BLUE ASH — One word to de-scribe one goal.
“Fast,” said Ursuline Acad-emy senior Temarie Tomley,who knows something about thesubject of speed.
Tomley earned 2014 GirlsGreater Catholic League swim-mer of the year honors for herprowessinthepool.She’sbeentothe state meet three times al-ready and is gearing up for afourth run at Canton, beginningwith a victory in the 50 freestyleat theDivision IMasonsectionalFeb.8.Shealso tookthirdbehindteammate Alisabeth Marstellerand Mason’s Ashley Volpenheinin the 100 free, less than half asecond off the pace.
TheAndersonTownship resi-dent - who has been swimmingwith theSeaWolvesat theMercyHealthPlex for the last nineyears - isn’t concerned with her
time when it comes to settingtournament goals.
“Fast. I just want to be fast,”Tomley said. “I’m just going togo out with no fear and kill it.”
Tomley’s need for speedcameat ayoungage. She tried tokeep pace with her older sisterTatiana, a 2012 Ursuline gradu-ate, swimming with and againsther sister’s age groupmore thanher own.
“Oh yeah, I caught her,” Tom-ley said. “She was more of abreaststroker, though, so wewere really different kinds ofswimmers. But I always wantedto beat her.”
And she’s beaten a lot of peo-ple since.
“To do well at the districtmeet or the state meet you haveto have somebody you know isgoing to get points for you,” saidUrsuline head swimming coachBrad Isham. “To be able to knowandcountontop-levelpoints likeshe’s been able to give us is sovaluable.
“This year being a seniorshe’s come in more relaxed. It’simportant for her - for all swim-
mers - not to be tense or feelingpressure so they can just go outand swim, let their bodies dowhat they’vebeen training todo.I think Temarie has been verygood about doing that this year.
“She has an incredible abilityto just turn it on, which is amaz-
ing. She’s an incredibly talentedswimmer, but she cangoget youin a race if she’s down. She’s anexcellent racer.”
Which is part of what Tomleylikes about swimming.
“When Iwas younger I swameverything,but Ikindofwent to-
ward sprinting,” she said.“Sprinting is just a flat-out race.It’s just who can get to the wallfirst. You don’t have to thinkabout it too much, you just go.”
TheLions finishedsecondbe-hind Mason in the sectionalmeet, but Tomley isn’t worried.
“We know that sectionals andeven districts aren’t really ourfocus,” she said. “We like havingthe competition and having peo-ple push us, but our focus is onstate. When we get there, I likehow we all come together as ateam and get focused.
“Youstart riding thismomen-tum that keeps getting biggerand bigger. The people in thestands are cheering and it justbuilds andbuilds and it’s just thebest feeling.”
Isham agreed.“Any time you see a team-
mate win an event, it can’t helpbutgetyoufiredupforyourownevent,” he said. “It kindofbuildson itself.”

Demonstrating respectfor the office
The federal holidayweknowas Presidents’ Day is officially“George Washington’s Birth-day.”
The holiday was first en-acted in 1879 to honor our na-tion’s first president and com-mander-in-chief of the Conti-nental Army. Originally cele-brated on Washington’sbirthday, Feb. 22, it was movedto the third Monday in Febru-ary by the Uniform MondayHolidayAct (Jan.1,1971),whichironically prevents the federalholiday from ever falling onWashington’s actual birthday.
Although our 16th PresidentAbraham Lincoln never had afederal holiday of his own, thethird Monday in February fallsbetween Lincoln’s birthday(Feb. 12) and Washington’sbirthday, making it an appro-priate day to honor both ofthese great men. Many statesthat officially observed Lin-coln’s birthday created a jointholiday for both Lincoln andWashington, often calling itPresidents’ Day.
Mostwould viewPresidents’Day (Washington’s Birthday)not only as a holiday to honortwoof themost influential lead-ers in our nation’s history,Washington and Lincoln, but asa day to honor and reflect uponthe office of the presidency ofthe United States.
As a Republican, I do notshare the views of PresidentBarack Obama, but I think it isimportant that as Americanswe show respect for the officeand for what it represents…theidea that the power is held bythe people and that we alonechoose our elected representa-tives.
Presidents’ Day is a remind-er to all Americans that wemust engage in the politicalprocess, demonstrate freespeech, and exercise our righttovote inbothprimaryandgen-eral elections.Wemust not takefor granted the freedoms andliberties that our forefathersfought so hard to preserve, andthat so many brave men andwomen risk their lives to pro-tect today.
Let us respect the office ofthe presidency and let us dem-onstrate our respect by show-ing up on Election Day to vote.And whether a Republican,Democrat or Independent, itdoesn’t hurt to research the is-sues and candidates ahead oftime.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR
Feb. 5 questionThe Bengals have asked Ham-
ilton County for control of thenaming rights to Paul Brown Sta-dium. Should the county turnover the naming rights? Why orwhynot?Whatnameswouldyousuggest for the stadium?
“Mysimpleanswer isno,butIwouldurgeboth sides to nego-tiate. I can understand thatnamingrightsareavaluableas-set and since the county ownsthose rights they should notjust give them away.
On the other hand, I can ap-preciate the Bengals not want-ing to play in a stadium thatmight bear a name not consis-tentwith their teamor theNFL.Personally I like the currentname, Paul Brown Stadium,and wish that sign on the stadi-um was more prominent thanthe current one.”
R.V.
Feb. 12 questionColorado and Washington
have legalized retail sale ofmari-juana. Is this agood idea?ShouldOhio follow suit? Why or whynot?
“Itwould probably be agoodideato legalizemarijuana inthelong run.All Cheech andChongjokes aside, it is already illegal-ly a major cash crop in Ken-tucky.
However, policies wouldhave to be inplace to keep it outof hands of minors, away fromtheunhealthy addicts, and easi-er to obtain for chemotherapypatients.”
TRog
“I havenot smokedanythingin over 44 years but I don’t seewhy we should continue tospend huge amounts of law en-forcement and incarcerationfunds on the relatively harm-less practice of smoking pot. Idon’t care who smokes what aslongas theydon’tpollute theairaroundme.
“Our police have a lot moreproductive things to do to en-hance our safety than catchingpot growers and smokers.”
F.S.D.
“Yes. But it won't happen
here anytime soon. Enforcingthe lawsagainstuseandposses-sion ofmarijuana costs the tax-payersmillionsofdollarseveryyear, and I believe that posses-sion of small amounts of mari-juana isharmless to thegeneralpublic.
“Having that on one's recordwill seriously impede one's fu-ture, whether it is applying forfinancial aid to go to college,trying toobtaincertainkindsoffinances, and prohibiting spe-cific types of employment.
“According toHarvarddrugeconomist Jeffrey Miron: ‘$8.7billion in savings to ourgovern-ment would result from legal-ization of marijuana.’ This isjust savings from trying to en-force the prohibition. It doesn'tinclude the potential incomefromtaxes,employmentoppor-tunities for retail establish-ments, and by-products thatcould be used throughout ourindustrial businesses. Frankly,we need the money.
“Aside from that, a recentarticle (October, 2013) by theHuffington Post states that 58percentof theAmericanpeopleare in favor of allowing theplant to be legal. No one hasever died from a marijuanaoverdose. About 40 percent ofAmericans admit to havingtried it, including more thanone president of the UnitedStates.
“We have been mislead bythe ‘addictive properties’ of thedrug.Marijuanaleadstodepen-dence in around 9-10 percent ofadult users. Cocaine hooks
about 20 percent of its users,andheroingets25percentof itsusers addicted.
“The worst culprit is tobac-co, with 30 percent of its usersbecoming addicted. The medi-cal uses of marijuana are al-ready well-known and perhapsthat is a solid first step thatcould be realized in Ohio.”
D.P.
“It always amazes me thatmany of those who supportmarijuana being legalized areagainst cigarettes beingsmoked! That aside, this issuereally comes down to analysis.
“Some would say that mari-juana is considered a gatewaydrug: one that is a first step intoaworldofharder,more impact-ful drugs, like cocaine, crack,and heroin, as if those partici-pating will continue non-stopdown a path seeking the nexthigh.
“Make nomistake, there arethose tendencies in some. Oth-ers would say that it is nothingmore than drug war propagan-da.
“One of the greatest thingsabout this country is the abilityto have different laws and be-haviors in different states aspart of this great American ex-periment. With two states al-ready testing this ground, andseveralmoredoing so by ignor-ing pot in general, statisticalanalysiswill determine if thoseinsocietywill: taketotheoptionto smoke in similar numbers tothosecurrentlyparticipating il-legally, or in wild abandon dra-matically increase the numberof ‘ne'r do well potheads.’
“Additionally, we will see ifthedrug trulyactsasagatewayand these two states see steadyincreases inusageofother illic-it drugs. The beauty of this forOhioans is the ability to sit backand watch the results.
“Those desiring a more par-ticipatory role can always booka flight! Just remember topacksnacks...”
C.T.
“Sure, tax it and use moneyto educate public on dangers ofthe strong drugs especiallyherein.
“Medical use has proven tobe a relief for debilitating pain.
This is especially needed for el-derlywhohave exhaustedpills.Alsomarijuana is cheaper thanRx pills in some cases.”

“Yes, I think it would be agreat idea for Ohio to legalizetherecreationaluseofmarijua-na. Once other states start torealize the benefits of legaliza-tion, which will far outweighthe detriments, theywill followsuit.
“Over the years the mythsandpropaganda aboutmarijua-na have largely been provenfalse. It's no more of a gatewaydrug than alcohol (alcohol wasthe first drug I tried) and it isfar less hazardous to yourhealth than alcohol.
“ Making it legal will notmake itmore accessible to kidsand more kids will not start us-ing it. In The Netherlands,where pot is decriminalizedand tolerated, the teenage potuse rate is among the lowest inthe western world.
“Saying that everyone is go-ing to be stoned if marijuana islegalized is ridiculous. Ifheroinwere legalized would you rushoutandtry it? IknowIwouldn't.
“People that want to smokemarijuanawill, those that don't,won't. It will be no differentthan it is now except the smok-ers won't be hiding in theirbasements.”
J.S.K.
“The opium dens of the 19th
centurydidnot turnout tobeasharmless as everyone thought,nor did the ‘harmless’ LSD ex-perimentation of the 1960s.
“Ohio should not follow suitin marijuana legalization be-cause it is against the entirepremise of anti-drug, smartchoices campaigns like JustSay No. It teaches ‘Just SayNo…Except…’
“If marijuana is to be usedfor medical purposes, it shouldbe by doctor’s prescriptiononly.”
L.B.
“Yes, I thinkwe should allowit, after all if someone wants tosmoke they will and while it islegal we can regulate and taxthe product.”

Why orwhy not?

California, New York, Illi-nois. It’s no secret that liberalphilosophies are runningthese states into bankruptcy.On the other hand, states likeWisconsin that have embracedconservatism are making anamazing turnaround.
Local school boards havetraditionally been dominatedby the liberal education estab-lishment. Those policies haveschool districts constantlypleading for more money atboth the state and local level.But now, after getting no-where with the same ole, sameole approach towards educa-tion, some communities aregiving conservatism a try.And, it’s working.
Liberals in education havetold us that without moremoney there’s no way to offerthe current level of service“to the children.” Their tem-plate for arm twisting taxpay-ers for more loot is to threatenimportant services for kidsand parents: no busing, no newbooks, high class sizes, highfees, no field trips, and noathletic programs.
Communi-ties across thestate of Ohioand beyondare recog-nizing that theone cost con-trol liberals ineducationnever consid-er is the hy-perbolic rate
of increase on their uniondriven salaries and benefitsthat comprise 70-80 percent ofyour typical school budget.Citizens are stunned to learnthat for years they’ve beencoerced into passing levies“for the children” when thereality was more money wasnecessary to sustain the un-sustainable increases inschool employee compensa-tion.
Now let’s pause for a mo-ment. Conservatives believein fair compensation. Butwhat’s fair about a communityaverage household incomeincreasing at 1 percent peryear, or declining in somecases, while school compensa-
tion increases at 6 percent peryear? What’s fair about com-munity members payingthrough the nose for their ownmedical insurance and paying80-90 percent of the freightfor a Cadillac plan for theirschool employee counter-parts?
The reality conservativeshave brought to school boardsis that by managing the cost ofcompensation the budgetbecomes manageable. Sudden-ly, there is money for bussing,books, technology, field tripsand more teachers. Thisdoesn’t mean harming teach-ers and it certainly does notharm children – unless yousee maintaining bussing andbooks as something bad. To aconservative, “managing”does not mean “cutting,” itmeans balancing prioritieswithin fiscal constraints.
The prime difference be-tween the philosophies is thatconservatives are willing tostand on principle and notyield to the increasingly pow-erful unions. To conserva-tives, educational services for
children are not something tobe bargained way for exces-sively large pay increases andginormous insurance benefitsfor adults.
Of course, this doesn’t setwell with the unions. They’reout organizing teachers andparents against conservativeschool board members label-ing them as “extremists” andusing their other 12 Rules forRadicals to wrestle back con-trol and return to the statusquo. They are quite good atmaking noise. When conserva-tives are managing yourschool board, the union isscreaming.
Citizens, be alert. If youwant fiscal responsibility,balanced priorities, and a“children-first” approach tomanaging school resources,then elect conservatives toyour local school board. Andby all means, stay clear of thephilosophy that sent Detroitinto bankruptcy.
Jim Rigano is a two-term conserva-tive school board member fromSpringboro.

My friend, CharleneCastle, known as thedumplin’ queen aroundhere, is a Southern girl
whomakes herdumplingswith soft,self-risingflour andhot water.Shedoesn’tuse mea-suringcups; sheuses spe-
cial bowls like her mom.Real heirloom cooking.“Roll them out, put themin the chicken andbroth. They’ll thickenit,” she said.
I make dumplings,too, but mine are thekind you scoop up andplop on top of soup orstew. Fun to make.Granddaughter Eva,almost 6, is pretty goodat making these dump-lings. It won’t be longbefore I get her littlesis, Emerson, up on thestool to help, as well.
No-peek herbeddumplings
First, have your soup,stew or even cannedbroth boiling. I like toput these on top ofchicken soup. The se-cret to fluffy dump-lings? Don’t peek!
1 cup all-purpose flour,spooned lightly into cupand leveled off
11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder
1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste
Palmful fresh mincedparsley (optional)
1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded
3 tablespoons butter
Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt togeth-er. Add parsley. Make awell in center. Heat milkwith butter until buttermelts. Pour into well
and mix. Dough willlook sort of shaggy. Adda bit more milk, if nec-essary. Don’t over mix.Sometimes there’s a bitof dry mixture in thebottom of the bowl. Justleave it. Turn heat downon soup to simmer. Usean ice cream scoopsprayed with cookingspray to drop dumplingscarefully on top of liq-uid, leaving space inbetween for expansion.Put lid on. No peeking!Simmer anywhere from8 to 10 minutes, or untillargest dumpling isdone: cut in half to test.Dumpling will becooked through and notsoggy in middle. Dump-lings expand to doubleor even triple. Depend-ing upon size, you’ll geteight or more.
Quick beefstroganoff
I only know her byher first name, Sherry.We almost collided atthe store. Sherry wasbuying ingredients forthis recipe and when Itold her it sounded sogood, she gave me hercopy! “I have another athome,” she said. I fol-lowed her recipe prettyclose, with a few adapta-tions. Worth sharing!
1pound flank steakOlive oil1 cup chopped onion1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoonmincedgarlic (optional)
Salt and pepper to tasteHot paprika or a littlecayenne, to taste
6-8 oz. fresh exoticmushrooms or regularmushrooms, sliced
11⁄2 cups beef broth1 tablespoon plus 2teaspoons flour
1⁄3 cup sour cream plus morefor garnish
Several green onions, slicedNice pat of butter, about atablespoon or so
Cooked noodles
Slice beef acrossgrain 1⁄4-inch wide strips,then cut strips in half.Film bottom of pan withoil and heat to mediumhigh. Add beef and cookuntil browned, about 5minutes. Remove andadd onion, garlic, sea-sonings and mushroomsto pan and cook untilmushrooms are tender,adding a bit more oil ifnecessary. Reduce heatto medium. Mix 1⁄4 cupbeef broth with flour tomake a paste. Add topan along with beef,stirring well. Stir in 1-1⁄4cups broth, cover andcook until sauce thick-ens. Adjust seasonings.Stir in sour cream,green onions and butter.Serve over noodles andpass sour cream.
Can you help?Thriftway’s tortellini
salad. Western Hillsreader Mark Wigger-shaus would like to havethis recipe or somethingsimilar. “It had anearthy taste and wasvery good,” Mark said.
Like Frisch’s orJock’s batter for deep-fried fish. Reader TomOhmer would love tohave a similar recipe.
Blue Ash Chili’s co-leslaw.
Reader Mike R. said:“Everywhere I go, Inever find two coles-laws alike. Everyonehas his or her own taste
and ingredients. In mypersonal opinion, BlueAsh Chili in has the bestcoleslaw, creamy andsweet. Does anyonehave a recipe for thisversion of slaw?”

Motor vehicle repairscontinue to top the list ofconsumer complaintsreceived by the OhioAttorney General. Inmost cases, that office isvery limited in its abil-ity to help solve theconsumer problems.
That’s why Ohio StateSen. Joe Uecker (R-Miami Township) hasintroduced legislationthat would require me-chanic repair facilitiesto be licensed. Rightnow there are more than4,000 such repair shopsoperating without anyoversight. Only bodyrepair shops are cur-rently licensed in Ohio.
“This bill will notonly level the playingfield, it will also protect
consumersby ensur-ing busi-nesseshave prop-er liabilityinsuranceshouldsomethinghappen totheir vehi-cle while
at the repair shop,”Uecker said.
The state licensingagency would also helpresolve complaints filedby vehicle owners, suchas Kimberly Thorpe ofLiberty Township. Shewas told she needed anew engine for her 2004Chrysler Sebring. So,she took it to a repairshop where, she said, it
sat for more than a year.Thorpe eventually
took the vehicle to adealership and was toldsome parts were miss-ing. In addition, she wastold a new engine wouldcost $5,500 to $6,000 –yet she had alreadyspent more than two-thirds that amount withthat first repair shop.
Thorpe says she gavethat first shop ownerone more chance to fixthe vehicle, but she nev-er got her engine. In-stead she has parts inthe back seat and thetrunk of her vehicle, butno engine under thehood.
Angel Hale-Frater, ofBlue Ash, is also upsetwith the dealership to
which she took her over-heating SUV. She paid$1,500 for the repair but,after getting it back, shediscovered the SUV wasstill overheating. Shereturned the vehicle tothe dealership and saidthe manager told her,“We make mistakes allthe time.” Then she wastold new repairs neededwould cost nearly dou-ble what she had alreadypaid.
“If they had present-ed me with, ‘Your carneeds upwards of $2,000plus of work,’ I wouldhave said, ‘No.’ I boughtit seven years ago, it had35,000 miles on it, itsnow got 130,000 miles,”Hale-Frater said.
Fortunately, after
filing a complaint withme, the dealershipagreed to deduct thecost of that first repairfrom Hale-Frater’s sec-ond bill. However, shestill ended up payingmore than $2,000 for therepairs.
Uecker said he hopesthe repair shop licensinglegislation will bepassed by the end of thisyear. I suggested, andthe legislature will con-sider, requiring shopowners to post a smallbond. That would assurevehicle owners get com-pensated should therebe a problem collectingfrom a repair shop
“The board couldverify and monitor com-pliance with state laws,
giving consumers theability to identify thoseservice centers that areregistered. Every Ohio-an deserves to feel con-fident that repairs ontheir vehicles are per-formed safely and pro-fessionally,” Ueckersaid.
No such licensing iscurrently required inKentucky. If you’d liketo express your feelingsabout the bill write toSen.Joe Uecker at [email protected].

Dov Lipman, an Ortho-dox rabbi with roots inCincinnati, is the firstAmerican-born memberof theKnesset (Israelipar-liament) in almost 30years. He is at the fore-front of combating reli-gious segregation in Isra-el.
On Thursday, Feb. 20,at 7:30 p.m., at the Mayer-son JCC, Lipman willshare his vision for theJewish State and discusshis efforts to create Jew-ish unity in Israel andthroughout the world.
“Religious Tolerance inIsrael” – part of the IS-RAELITYspeakerseries–is freeandopen to thepub-lic.
Lipman grew up inMaryland, thesonofaU.S.federal judge. Shortly af-ter he moved to Israel in
2004, he was hit by a rockwhile observing a Harediprotest near his home inBeit Shemesh.
“That’s where thisswitch went off in myhead,” Lipman said. “Ihave to do my part to healthese wounds and get thissociety back on track.”
Lipman’s goal is tobring all Jews – ultra-Or-thodox, secular andevery-one in between – togetheras a people.
He asked, “How can itbe that the Jewish people,who were scattered forgenerations and – withthanks toGod, the IDFandthe merit of Torah study –have returned to live in Is-rael, remain scatteredhere as well?”
Believing that isolationbreeds extremism, Lip-man works to bring mem-
bers of the ultra-Orthodoxcommunity “into the fold”by providing them withgeneraleducation,encour-aging them to work whilethey continue to study To-rah, and requiring theirmilitary or civil service.
“How a person servesGod or doesn’t serve Godis a personal thing, andwehave to find a way to cre-ate a Jewish countrywherepeoplecanbe them-selves and everybody re-spects each other regard-less,” he said.
Lipman’s presentationis part of “ISRAELITY:RedefiningReality inIsra-el,” a series of open dia-logues presented by theJewish Federation of Cin-cinnati’s Israel Center andits Jewish Community Re-lations Council, alongwiththeMayerson JCC.
