A second attempt at abond issue that would havebuilt new schools in WintonWoods City School Districtfailed.
The issue was defeatedwith 72 percent of votersagainst it, though turnoutwas low. Of the school dis-trict’s 18,102 registered vot-ers, only 3,513 cast ballots inthe May 5 election.
Unofficial results tallied2,507 votes against the bondissue and 1,006 votes in fa-vor.
The Winton Woods Boardof Education expressed dis-appointment.
“We aresaddened toreport thatour commu-nities haveyet again vot-ed down theopportunityfor safe andefficientschools for
our children,” School BoardPresident Jessica Mirandasaid in an email statement.“This opportunity wouldhave provided immense re-vitalization for our commu-nity.
“Our district would havebeen next in line for $33 mil-lion from the OFCC (Ohio Fa-cilities Construction Com-mission). I want to thank thesupporters who came out tovote today.
Wondering about construc-tion on Compton Road near Da-ly?
The Metropolitan Sewer Dis-trict of Greater Cincinnati is re-placing a deteriorating sewerline.
The project involves replac-ing about 8,000 feet of sewerpipe in the neighborhood, nearDaly Road between ComptonRoad and the Ronald ReaganHighway.
The work is east of the inter-section of Compton and DalyRoads, and will run mostly par-allel to Brentwood Creek, end-ing at Daly Road north of Pine-hollow Lane.
The project is expected totake about 18 months to com-plete according to CassandraHillary, policy and governmentaffairs officer for the MSD.
The construction estimatefor the project is $9.7 million.
The existing 21-inch diame-ter sewer was built in the 1940s.An engineering study of thesewer being replaced revealedthat it was at capacity and an in-spection revealed several struc-tural defects including a num-ber of fractures, breaks, andholes.
The old sewer line is being re-placed with a larger, 30-inch di-ameter sewer to provide for fu-ture sanitary flow upstream.
MSD started clearing vegeta-tion for the project in January.
Contractor for the project,Brackney Construction, gener-ally will work Monday throughThursday between 7 a.m. and 7p.m. but there may be weekendwork or work on Fridays if re-quired by weather.
Hillary said water and sewerservice will be maintainedthroughout the project.
If temporary service inter-ruptions are needed when thenew line is put into service, resi-dents will receive advance noti-fication.
The project is part of ProjectGroundwork, MSD’s multi-yearplan to reduce sewer overflowsinto streams and rivers in Ham-ilton County.
MSD began negotiating withthe U.S. EPA, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice and the State ofOhio in 1997 to develop an over-flow reduction plan that wouldbe supported by the govern-ment but also be affordable forlocal ratepayers.
This process resulted in a
Global Consent Decree, which isan agreement among all partiesabout what will be accomplishedand when, and is enforced andmonitored by a federal judge.
Work on an MSD project on Compton Road near Daly Road in Springfield Township should finish next year.

cational representatives,who are all experiencedmusicians trained in mu-sic education, that visitmost of the schools eachweek.
Harvey said BuddyRoger’s encourages stu-dents to start, and stay in,music programs.
Harvey began playingan instrument when hewas 7 years old and even-tually attended UC’s Col-lege-Conservatory of Mu-sic.
He taught band for 3years and then moved on-to Buddy Roger’s wherehe has worked for the past41 years.
After almost 60 yearsin business, Buddy Rog-er’s Music has decided toclose two of its stores andstop selling items such asguitars, amplifiers, elec-tronic keyboards andsound systems.
The company decidedto abandon the combomarket and focus solelyon the school-music mar-ket because the latter hasbeen its specialty duringthe past 60 years.
“The schools have beenthe backbone of our busi-ness,” Buddy Roger’sVice President Bill Har-vey said.
Buddy Roger’s is clos-ing its Beechmont andMontgomery stores, butretain its two locations inNorth College Hill for re-pairs, office space andshowcasing of its prod-ucts.
Harvey said the com-pany plans to expand itsrepair shop and make itmore efficient.
Harvey said it will bedifficult leaving somecustomers behind and therelationships the compa-ny has developed withthem.
Buddy Roger’s workswith more than 200schools in Greater Cincin-nati and with both youngstudents who are just be-ginning in music as wellas those in college.
The company sellsband instruments, such asthe flute, clarinet andtrombone. It also has edu-
Harvey said music isan important part of edu-cation and said one advan-tage over sports is that, ina band, everyone playsand “is part of the soundthat is coming out.”
Harvey said fifth orsixth grade is a good timeto start students in musicbecause they don’t haveas many distractions atthat age.
“I believe strongly ithelps them with every-thing they do,” Harveysaid.
Buddy Roger’s partici-pates in the Lonely Instru-ments for Needy Kidsprogram, Harvey said,
which gives used instru-ments to children whoneed them.
He said the hardestpart of this program is toget people to donate be-cause many have a diffi-cult time giving up instru-ments that invoke goodmemories from theirchildhoods.
Driven Media Solu-tions President MattPlapp, who does market-ing work for Buddy Rog-er’s, said the two closinglocations have sales goingon now. The North CollegeHill store is also sellingout its inventory of gui-tars and amplifiers.

Forest Park Fire ChiefAlfie Jones says he isthrilled to have the confi-dence of the city’s votersafter they approved an ad-ditional 5.75-mill fire levyon the May 5 primary bal-lot.
The vote was 897 or62.86 percent in favor and530 or 37 percent against,according to unofficial re-sults reported by the
HamiltonCountyBoard ofelections.The levywill gener-ate an esti-mated$1.764 mil-lion annu-
ally and cost the owner ofa $100,000 home an addi-tional $201.25 per year, ac-cording to David Nurre,assistant director of fi-nance for the Hamilton
County Auditor’s Office.The department is cur-
rently supported by a 9.7-mill fire levy that waspassed in 2008 and gener-ates about $2.9 million an-nually. Jones says the lev-y’s passage means his de-partment won’t have tocut services.
“I am elated at the sup-port and backing of thecommunity for our firedepartment,” he said.
He says the fire ser-vice is a family, and hethinks of the people in ourcommunity as a part ofthat family. “It’s good tohave the family’s sup-port,” he said. Now we aregoing to continue provid-ing great service to ourcommunity. We are grate-ful. Thank you.”
turn represents a dispro-portionate voice of ourcommunity,” she said.“Although we are disap-pointed by the outcomewe will keep moving for-ward for our students, ourcommunity and our staff.
“The Winton Woods
City School District iscommitted to educationalreform and expanding ac-ademic opportunities forall of our students bothpresent and for futuregenerations to come. TheBoard of Education iscommitted to fiscal re-sponsibility and soundbusiness decisions for theDistrict.”
The district had hopedto build two new campus-
es – a pre-K through sixth-grade elementary schoolon the current WintonWoods Middle Schoolcampus in Greenhills anda new seventh- through12th-grade secondaryschool on the current Win-ton Woods High Schoolcampus in Forest Park.
The 8.79-mill bond is-sue would have cost theowner of a $100,000 house$25.63 per month.

I’m pretty sure you won’t see a photo like the mo-rels pictured here just anywhere.
What a bounty! Of course, I can’t tellyou where we forage for them, but takemy word for it: they were huge and agourmet treat.
Morels are going for about $60 apound right now. Jean Robert de Cavelhas them on his menu, and other chefslucky enough to have a source are do-ing the same thing. But it’s fun to knowthat a country girl and her friends canenjoy the whole process, from foragingto eating.
Here’s my simple recipe with op-tions for using other mushrooms. Mushrooms containantioxidants and vitamin D, which lots of folks havein short supply.
Readers want to knowWhat is an easy way to chop mint and basil without
making it turn dark?The reason herbs turn dark after chopping is that
they oxidize - the cut parts exposed to air turn dark asthey sit. To quickly chop a lot of mint or basil, stackseveral leaves and roll them up tight long ways, like acigar. Then slice width-wise into narrow pieces tomake long thin strips, also called julienne slices. Chopthe strips again for smaller slices, or leave them as isand you’ll get pretty ribbons of herbs.

Rita has a secret morel patch, whip up lasagna for 2Sautéed gourmet mushrooms
Delicious as a side, or an appetizer on good qualitytoast. Try them as a topping for grilled steak. If you arelucky enough to have morels, let them soak about 10minutes in water with a bit of salt added. This makes allthe little creatures that might be in the mushrooms leavetheir happy abode.
Then drain, rinse and drain again. Dry thoroughlyand cut into halves or quarters. If you are using the mixedwild mushroom blends, slice as necessary.
Now this is a go to taste recipe. Use a large skillet sothat mushrooms cook quickly without steaming. I tossed insome watercress from our spring-fed pool right at the end.
Jean Robert adds a splash of liqueur. I sometimes adda splash of brandy while the mushrooms are cooking.
8 oz. mushrooms1/4 cup butter or bit more if needed - I usually add
more1 small shallot, minced1 teaspoon garlic, mincedSalt and pepper to tasteHeavy whipping cream, unwhipped (optional)Parsley chopped (optional)
Heat butter and add shallots and garlic together.Cook over low heat until shallots are tender but notbrown. Add everything but cream and cook over mediumheat until mushrooms are tender. Add cream to taste andlet it cook a bit until desired consistency is reached.

The university senior anx-iously awaited the second in-terview with the human re-sources director of the districtwhere she desired to begin hercareer as a teacher.
She wondered why the in-terview had been scheduled.The office door opened and shewas invited inside where shesat in front of the director’sdesk. Following the customaryconversational pleasantries thedirector stated that it was apleasure to extend a one-yearteaching contract to younglady seated across the desk.
In the moments required toprocess what was just said, theaspiring teacher’s gratefulsmile and acceptance betrayedthe unrestrained relief dancingits way throughout her insides.Etched in her memory were allof the previous job fairs, in-terviews and phone calls thatled to empty days of disap-pointment and anticipation.
Now someone was not justthanking her for giving aninterview but offering her acoveted opportunity. Eventhough the grade and buildingassignments were not spec-ified, she could hardly containher excitement as she exitedthe board of education build-ing.
After texting the good newsto her parents and closefriends, a myriad of thoughtsabout her first year of teaching
raced throughher mind.
She vividlyrememberedall the class-room observa-tions and stu-dent intern-ship she hadexperiencedduring heryears as a
student. The seemingly end-less string of visits into a va-riety of classrooms opened hereyes to teaching skills shewould like to incorporate with-in her own strategies as well astechniques and methods shepreferred not to use. Her coop-erating teacher in the recentteaching internship gave herinvaluable insight into class-room management, lessonplanning, and professionaldecorum. The personal inter-action with the students re-minded her that respect isearned, not freely given.
She even recalled concepts,theories, and ideas she hadlearned in those pre-profes-sional methods courses thatoften received unfounded criti-cisms from the media andpublic.
Knowing why students havevarying academic abilities,personalities and learningstyles, helped form her ownunique teaching philosophyshe hoped to apply with the
students she would she in afew months. A course focusedon multiculturalism showedher the influence a child’s fam-ily, background, and communi-ty, affected learning, whileknowledge of child develop-ment cautioned her that eachchild grows in fits and spurts.
On this day her lifelongdreams of becoming a teacherhad come true. From the dayshe entered first-grade, shewas mesmerized by the ongoing drama related to theteaching-learning process. Shethought of her eventual class-room as a stage where theteacher assumes every taskfrom writing a script to design-ing a set for a theatrical pro-duction, often characterized byimprovised interactions amongthe players.
For a fleeting moment thespecter of high stakes tests,countless hours of extendedschool work, additional jobrelated duties and an infinitenumber of meetings racedthrough her mind only to fadevery quickly. Today, idealismprevailed over reality. As shedrove forward along the firstroad of her professional life,her thoughts quickly turned tothe all the possibilities of influ-encing students’ lives, forever.

A swimmer with shoulderpain is a common sight in thesport. With few exceptions,shoulder pain in a swimmerwill be an overuse injury,meaning it builds over timewith continuous irritationfrom the same repeated mo-tions.
This happens for a fewreasons:
» The shoulder is the mostmobile joint in the body.
» The mechanics of swim-ming require lots of motionat the shoulder joint.
» With increased motionin the joint comes less stabil-ity of that joint.
» A swimmer can exceed2,000 strokes for one shoul-der in a single workout.
A few simple tricks can goa long way to keeping shoul-der pain from getting to bean injury that keeps theswimmer from the pool.
The first thing to checkwhen your swimmer comesto you with shoulder pain istheir posture. The nature ofswimming workouts gives aswimmer very developedpectoral muscles, whichthey need for stroke effi-ciency and speed. This cancause those muscles to pullwhere they attach on thearm and can give a swimmera rounded shoulder appear-ance, meaning that theshoulders are coming for-ward when at rest. Posturelike this can pinch important
structures inthe shoulder,particularlyin the anteri-or portion,which arealready morevulnerable. Itwill also af-fect struc-tures in theback, whichare being
stretched and weakened bythis posture.
To fix this, have themfocus on straightening up asif a string were being pulledfrom the torso through thetop of the head. Roll yourshoulders back to an evenposition on either side ofyour body. No need to throwthem back overly far or puffyour chest out, just keepthem back in line with therest of your body.
In conjunction with thechance in posture, you needto focus on the scapular sta-bilizers, the muscles thatwork in between and aroundthe shoulder blades. Thesemuscles are often weak andcannot function properlywithout some attention.
When practicing goodposture, you can feel thosemuscles fire up. An exercisecalled scap squeezes canwork them even more. Whilein your good posture posi-tion, pretend you are tryingto squeeze a penny between
your shoulder blades bysqueezing those muscles,leaving your arms by yourside. Hold the squeeze forfive seconds, then release.
Both of these techniquescan be used throughout theday while your swimmer isat school. Practicing goodposture and scap squeezescan reduce a number ofshoulder problems by in-troducing proper positionand body mechanics. Pain inthe shoulder may be com-mon in swimming, but thatdoes not mean they have topush through it . There aremodifications and optionsavailable to keep them fromdoing making things worse.
At Cincinnati Children’sSports Medicine depart-ment, we want to do every-thing we can to keep yourchild in the water as much aspossible. There are re-sources available for youand your swimmer, and weinvite you to contact us withany questions or concerns at513-803-4878.

May 6 questionHow do you think the Su-
preme Court will rule on theissue of same-sex marriage?How should they rule?
“Against.”Mary Ann Maloney
“I hope they rule in favorof it. It really is the finalmovement towards civilrights for all. With the courtsplit in terms of right andleft it will come down basi-cally to Justice Kennedy’svote and hopefully he willchose to be on the right sideof history.
“People can use the Bibli-cal passages as their de-fense for heterosexualunion, however in one of theoft-cited passages, oneshould not not work on Sun-days, wear clothes of mixedthread or eat shell fish.From that stand point RedLobsters should be picketeddaily, yet I don’t see it.
“Gay marriage will in noway diminish heterosexualmarriage. I don’t under-stand that argument. I feelthat religious institutionscan still come out against it,but to do so will only pointout how bigoted the institu-tions are.
“In terms of religion, Ilook towards the new cove-nant teachings of Christ andhe had nothing to say on gaymarriage. He did havesomething to say about thedifficulty of the rich gettinginto heaven comparing it tobeing more difficult than acamel passing through theeye of a needle. I don’t seepeople picketing mansionsor standing next to luxuryautos over in Kenwood tell-ing people to repent or theywon’t get into heaven.
“It is time to gay mar-riage is accepted and reli-gious institutions either ac-cept it also or admit thatthey are selective in termsof what they choose to criti-cize or focus on Biblicly.”
C.S.
“I believe they will ruleagainst it, as they should inrespect for the thousands ofyears of societal norms,rather than trying to provethey have a ‘better idea.’The legal ramifications ofallowing this new legal sta-tus opens too many possibil-ities for long established ta-boos on animal affection,pedophilia, close relativeunions and the obvious con-cerns over widespreadabuse of the tax system anddestruction of health caresystems.”
D.B.
“I believe the SupremeCourt will recognize mar-riage as the union of two
people who love, honor, sup-port and respect each other.Such faithful partnershipsbenefit all cultures and soci-eties contributing to harmo-ny and world peace.”
Marie Hill
“I feel that the SupremeCourt will approve same sexmarriage. Why?, because itis going to be pushed andpushed down our throats un-til we have every state ac-cepting it. That does notmake it right. And I am total-ly against it b/c one of thereasons man and woman getmarried is to have a familyeventually. Children need amom who is female and adad who is male, period. Nottwo men who say they aremom and dad or two womenwho say they are mom anddad.
“And I do not think thatpeople are born gay. It is achoice they make. The sameholds true with transgen-ders. Why can’t we be happywith the gender that ourLord made us to be. Kids arebeing subjected to this kindof thinking that there issomething wrong with themso they want to be gay ortransgender. Heaven helpus and I feel so sorry for mygrandchildren in their fu-ture to live in a culturewhere anything goes with norestrictions or laws. Sotherefore, I am totallyagainst the Supreme Courtruling in favor of same sexmarriage.”
D.M.H.
“In 2013 the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that marriedsame-sex couples were enti-tled to federal benefits and,by declining to decide a casefrom California, effectivelyallowed same-sex mar-riages there. I suspect theywill again rule ‘in favor’ ofsame sex marriage acrossall 50 states.
“The United States wasfounded on the separation ofchurch and state. Whilethere may be religiousteachings against this prac-tice the court will look at theU.S. Constitution not the Bi-ble. Go Figure!”

ST. BERNARD — Roger Ba-con High School’s softballteam enjoys setting goals. Thegirls also enjoy achievingthose goals. At the beginningof each season, the Spartansset a goal for wins and in eachof the previous three seasons,they’ve reached their win to-tal.
This year, the goal was 12wins, coach Chuck Lindnersaid. The Spartans won 15, themost wins in a season since2008.
Roger Bacon has locked upsecond place in the GreaterCatholic League Coed CentralDivision. They finished 10-3 inconference games. If itweren’t for a midseason four-game losing skid, the Spartansmight have overtaken Badinfor the GCL Coed Central title.Following the four losses in arow, the Spartans got healthyand won six in a row, a stretchthat was integral in meetingtheir goal primary goal.
“As far as I’m concerned,they’ve exceeded all expecta-tions,” said Lindner, who said
this year they played somebig-school Division I and IIteams “to see what they had.”
Junior Ashton Lindner,Chuck’s daughter, leads theSpartans and the conferencein nearly every category -wins (15), strikeouts (158), RBI(37), hits (35), doubles (12),home runs (four) and inningspitched (125). She’s third in theconference in both ERA (2.18)and batting (.522).

MONFORT HEIGHTS —There’s no doubting whatLa Salle High School cando on the baseball dia-mond. The Lancers haveplayed their way into theconversation of the area’stop teams. They’ve donethat by beating the topteams.
La Salle’s won 17games (as of May 7) andthey've beaten Moeller(No. 1), Mason (No. 3), El-der (No. 4) and Colerain(No. 7) this season, all ofwhom finished ranked inthe top-10 of The Enquir-er Division I area coach-es’ final poll.
The Lancers’ successmay seem surprising tosome, but not to sixth-year head coach Joe Voe-gele. “They play hard —that’s something thatdoesn’t surprise me,” saidVoegele, who went on tosay he has been slightlysurprised by his pitchingstaff. Coming into theyear, Voegele said, theyonly had a couple seniorscoming back and few ju-niors with some inningsunder their belts.
“I’m pretty pleasedwith the way the pitch-ing’s developed,” Voegelesaid.
Senior Logan Braun-ing, along with juniorsJake Kaiser and JakeBarford, have been im-pressive. Brauning’s 3-0with a 1.24 ERA. Kaiser’s4-0 with a 1.57 ERA, andBarford’s 2-0 with a 1.65ERA. Senior BrianSchwankhaus has provedto be a top-of-the-linestarter.
Schwankhaus is 5-1with a 1.13 ERA, his onlyloss was 1-0 to Moeller.Senior Nick Ernst, who’ssigned with Miami Uni-versity, struggled insome spots early in theseason, but Voegele saidhe’s looked better lately.
The Lancers are led atthe plate by senior Antho-ny Bell’s .426 average,(ranks second in theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth) and 26 RBI (leadsGCL-South). Eric Greene
(.358), Nigel Williams (21RBI), Andrew Sexton(.353), Alec Lane (.357)and Tim Casey (.333) allhelp bolster La Salle’slineup.
Beating the best notonly makes La Salle adangerous playoff team,it also makes them a tar-get. Depth in the rotationwill certainly help, butVoegele wants his team topush the pedal and finish
games. “We’ve lost three
games (of six total) goinginto the last inning. Wehave to learn to finishgames if we’re gonna dowell in the tournament,”said Voegele.
La Salle jumped in El-der’s sectional bracket,meaning if the Panthersand Lancers win theirfirst-round games, theywould meet in a sectional
final.“We know what to ex-
pect, we feel we match upwith them real well. Basi-cally, it’s a challenge toour guys. (Shane) Smith(Elder’s ace) is as good asanybody in the city, butwe felt (that bracket) wasthe best route to go,” Voe-gele explained. “You haveto win to get there …there’s no sure thing of usplaying Elder.”

Senior Lexy Hoffmanhas been instrumental.Coach Lindner said Hoff-man, who hits .431, hasreally stepped up thisyear and “fills in any-where” she’s needed. An-other tough out for theSpartans is senior CassieWeidner who hits .468 andhas 14 RBI.
“Our left fielder, KatiePerry, has just been onfire. She got most im-proved last year and she’llprobably get it again thisyear,” Lindner said. Per-ry, a junior, is hitting .426with 22 RBI and 19 stolen
bases. Junior BrittanyJerger (.403) and sopho-more Ally Woeste (.357)have also swung the batwell this year.
The other goal RogerBacon made this seasonconcerned the postsea-son.
