The Clothes Closet in Madei-ra will shut its doors Aug. 1, end-ing 20 years in the HosbrookHouse in the Madeira HistoricDistrict and more than 50 yearsin operation.
The Madeira Woman’s Club,the non-profit organization thatoperates the shop, said thegroup cannot afford the higher,market-rate lease sought by thecity of Madeira.
“It was more than we couldafford,” club member Mary JoMorgan said at the Clothes Clos-et April 23, the day after theclub made the decision to closethe second-hand clothing shop,which was been in the Hosbrook
House since 1994. The market lease amount,
based on square footage, is$18,684 annually or $1,557 amonth, according to NorthRidge Realty Group’s contract
with Madeira. The Woman’sClub has been paying $300 amonth on a month-to-monthlease. The city is asking newtenants for a five-year commit-ment.
“I know I speak for all of citycouncil when I say we verymuch appreciate all of the timeand effort the Madeira Woman’sClub has given to our communi-ty. The thousands of dollarsthey have raised through theyears have benefited charitableorganizations as well as individ-uals who have received scholar-ship,” City Manager Tom Moell-er wrote in the statement fromthe city.
A sign hangs in the Clothes Closetannouncing its closing on Aug. 1.

For many graduation is atime of pomp and circumstance.For Indian Hill High School andCincinnati Country Day Schoolit is also a time for tradition.
Indian Hill High School hashad its ceremony outside onschool grounds for as long asPrincipal Antonio Shelton canrecall.
“In the last 10 years we havehad it inside only once and thatwas because of inclementweather,” he said.
The Indian Hill High Schoolgraduation will be 8 p.m. Friday,May 29, at Tomahawk Stadiumat the high school.
A highlight for Shelton is“just to see the kids comingthrough the arbor of the footballstadium.” He said it’s visuallyimpressive with the boys wear-ing a red robe and the girlswearing a white gown and car-rying a rose.
“We have an honor guard ofthe top juniors in the class whoescort the seniors to theirseats,” Shelton said.
He said as part of the cere-mony there is an exchange ofleadership involving the cur-rent officers of the senior classand the incoming seniors. “Thisallows for the seniors to handoff the mantle to the officers ofthe underclass,” he said.
For Cincinnati Country Day
School, graduation is a chanceto reflect on what the studentshave accomplished.
“We speak about each kid asthey graduate,” said StephanieLuebbers, head of the upperschool at Cincinnati CountryDay School.
Luebbers said that in earlyMay, faculty members send herinformation, usually five or sixlines of text, on the graduatingseniors which is then read asthey walk to the podium to re-ceive their diplomas.
Luebbers, who reads the sub-missions during the ceremony,said it’s not unusual for a stu-dent to sneak in a hug from her

Myrtle’s crab cakes
Talking about another “mom with influence,” this recipe fromfriend, Perrin Rountree is an heirloom favorite. Perrin is an An-derson Township reader and wonderful cook.
“Family is everything to me,” she said. I remember fondly herstories of her Grandma, Myrtle, which were always connected withfood. Try this when you want a delicious and easy crab cake. Perrintold me her Grandma Myrtle’s strength and love of family sustainsher every day. “Hers was a gentle but firm love. We knew with justa look when we were behaving poorly, and with that same look wealso knew how much we were loved.”
Well said! As with all heirloom recipes, there can be variables.Like the saltines. You may need more than the recipe says, or youmay not. You want to be able to have the crab cake be nicely
formed and keep its shape but not be dry.
1 pound lump crabmeat4-5 shakes TabascoSalt and pepper to taste4-5 crushed saltines or few more if necessary1 egg, beaten2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoningFresh chopped parsley (opt)
Place crabmeat in bowl. Add other ingredients and mix lightly.Shape into 4 patties. Heat oil in heavy skillet. Over medium heat, fryuntil golden brown on both sides. Serve with extra Tabasco and tartarsauce or your favorite seafood sauce.
The Indian Hill Board ofEducation is on a path to keepat least 60 percent of the illegalinside millage tax it has col-lected since 2009. When theOhio Supreme Court unani-mously declared the tax illegallast December, the Committeefor Responsible School Spend-ing appealed to the board toimmediately refund the entire$6,007,536 collected...to allparties involved...plus interestand legal expenses. ($5,288,071of this total is due to privateand corporate taxpayers.)
The board, however, ap-pears to believe that, because ithas physical possession of thetaxes collected, it also has theright to decide who will getwhat and when, and how muchtaxpayer money the board will
keep for itself.The board’sfirst responsewas to hirenew legalcounsel fromCleveland at$375-plus perhour, afteralready spend-ing more than$208,000 since2010 on efforts
to justify the illegal insidemillage tax.
In January, the Board statedthat taxpayers were entitled torefunds totaling $4,860,992. InMarch, the board reduced itsproposed refund to $3,300.000.In April, the board reduced itfurther to the present$2,300,000. In May...? The
board has zero need for thismoney. (There’s already Astro-turf everywhere!)
Enrollment in the IndianHill school system has beendeclining for a decade. Cur-rently there are fewer than1,900 students. On March 31,the board had a surplus of$35,772,464. That’s nearly$19,000 per student. The boardowes the Ohio Department ofEducation a $664,450 refundfor formula-based subsidiesfrom the state. A $55,015 re-fund is due public utilitieslocated in the district. Intereston the refunds due taxpayers isaccumulating at $14,500-plusper month. In its most recentbrief, the board’s new counselsubstituted “rebate” for “re-fund,” apparently in the belief
that “rebate” implies the boardis “giving” back some of thetax money it took, instead ofrefunding all of it.
The board has petitioned theHamilton County Court ofCommon Pleas to:
» eliminate the first three(of the eight) semi-annual realestate tax-collections (on pro-cedural grounds unrelated tothe Supreme Court’s decision);
» approve the board’s claimthat, because some of the mon-ey might have been collected ifthe Board hadn’t chosen theinside millage ploy in 2009, theboard is entitled to deduct thatamount from its “rebate;”
» reduce the $5,288,071refund due private and corpo-rate taxpayers to a maximumof $2,300,000, which is to be
credited against something theboard’s new attorneys vaguelydescribe as “damages;”
» permit the board to delayrefunds until the 2016 realestate tax is due (no mention ofinterest payments);
» allow the board to proceedon its own terms without es-crow or third party supervi-sion;
» approve these claims byMay 22.
The time has come for theboard to end this charade, fireits sly attorneys, agree to fullrestitution of all tax moniesillegally seized, and begin re-building community trust in itscommitment to justice.

IH Board of Education’sincredible shrinking ‘rebate’
FredSanbornCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Does the recent letter byArkansas Republican Sen.Tom Cotton to Iranian leadersrise to the level of treason?Does it also reflect the lack ofintelligence of those who areour political leaders?
Is this another “CharlieWilson’s War,” where a con-
gressionalkook goes offon his own todefeat theRussians sin-gle-handed,and winds uplosing a bunchof shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weap-ons and mak-ing our posi-tion in Afghan-
istan less winnable than itwould have been; and, at whatcost?
Tom Cotton is narcissistic.He believes that he is abovethe constitution, the rules oflaw and the traditions of diplo-macy.
It does not explain why ourSen. Rob Portman signed thisletter; with his experience, heshould have known better. Hisdecision will make govern-ance more difficult. An agree-ment is not a treaty.
Forty-seven obstructionistRepublican senators, in a fit ofanarchy, foolishly signed aletter urging Iran to rejectany nuclear deal with Presi-dent Obama. Authored byCotton, the letter stated thatIran would need Congression-al approval, or any such agree-ment would be undone afterObama left office. This actmay actually hasten war.
If I remember correctly,the Constitution provides aseparation of powers betweenthe president, Congress andthe Supreme Court. The Housemay impeach a president and
the Senate may remove him,provided he is impeached;however, neither has the rightto usurp presidential powersor directly interfere with theworkings of the office, here orabroad. They do control fund-ing.
This matter comes at acritical time in the history ofthat area of the world. Whatelse might be included inthose negotiations? How doesISIS fit into their conversa-tions? How do Syria and Rus-sia fit into these talks? ISIS is100 percent Sunni, 65 percentof Iraq and 95 percent of Iranare Shia Moslem; Syria is 13percent Shia. Iran would notwant ISIS to win!
These fools in the Senateare not students of history orreligion. They are just suckingup to those in the Tea Partywho are even more ignorant. Ithought the Senate was a de-liberative body; perhaps theywere all drunk at the time,drunk on power.
A direct letter to the enemy,thwarting the president’s abil-ity to negotiate, is a violationof the separation of powers.My opinion is that it may notrise to the level of treason, butit is an effort to undermine theforeign policy of the U.S. andbring down the president!
These actions may not le-gally qualify as treason; theymay violate 18 U.S. Code §2383as a Rebellion or insurrection.“Whoever incites, assists, orengages in any rebellion orinsurrection against the au-thority of the United States orthe laws thereof, shall be finedunder this title or imprisonednot more than ten years, orboth; and shall be incapable ofholding any office under theUnited States.”

April 30 questionWas Reds manager Bryan
Price right about what he saidabout media coverage hurtinghis team? What is the media’srole in covering local sportsfranchises?
“Bryan Price was totallyoff base in what he said aboutthe media coverage. Themedia isn’t there to be afriend of the team and onlycover good news, or put newsout when the team wants it,that would be a press release,that the team controls.
“The media is there tocover the team. He may (beupset) the information wasn’treleased the way it was, butthe reality is that it was. In-stead of responding to whathe wished hadn’t happened heshould have been matureenough to address what hap-pened in an adult manner.
“He can take his concernsabout the local media to theReds upper management andthey can devise a strategy inhow they relate or releaseinformation to the media.
“The media’s job is to re-port, not make sure the team,manager or a specific player
is happy. It was embarrassingin terms of the content of hisrant and it also made it looklike he wasn’t ready to be amajor league manager, whichmay be the case. “
C.S.
“This is kind of like an-swering that age old mostdangerous question: Do thesepants make my butt look fat?Therefore no, Price waswrong blaming the mediacoverage for hurting histeam, his team’s performanceis hurting his team. What partof this is so hard to under-stand?”
M.J.F.
“If a manager etc... wantsto keep some informationfrom being disseminated heneeds to tell the reporters itis ‘off the record.’ I wouldhope the local Reds reporterswould respect that wish. Butin this day of paparazzi andsocial media scoops, Priceshould assume the informa-tion will get out. His choice offoul language to complainabout it was ridiculous.
“Keep in mind Reds Hallof Fame reporter Hal McCoywas the one who leaked theBrandon Philips ‘hating theSt. Louis Cardinals.’ That ledto quite an altercation a fewyears ago. Of course that waswhen the Reds made the play-offs under Dusty Baker threetimes, yet he was fired. Man-ager Price and GM Walt Jock-etty will be gone by year end.Go Figure!!!

INDIAN HILL — With the re-turn of so many good playersfrom last year’s Division IIIstate final appearance, it shouldnot come as much of a surpriseCincinnati Hills Christian Acad-emy is leading the Miami ValleyConference.
However, there are teamssuch as Summit Country Dayand Cincinnati Country Day arechallenging CHCA for the MVCScarlet title. The Knights andIndians played a game April 30that epitomized the confer-ence’s scrappy nature.
In the bottom of the fourth in-ning, the Indians were trailing11-0 when they started to mountthe comeback. A couple runshere and there helped preventCCD from being run-ruled inthe later innings.
Trailing 15-5 in the sixth in-ning, CCD made its first bigmove. After senior CameronAlldred was hit by a pitch to theload bases, fellow senior AustinRichey smacked a grand slam tocut the deficit almost in half.
Alldred went 3-for-4 with adouble and Richey was 2-for-5with six RBI in the game.
“Richey’s grand slam washuge especially in bouncingback from a pretty poor outingon the mound,” coach Tim Dunnsaid. “In his defense, he didn’tknow he was pitching until 20minutes before game time.”
Once Summit’s half of theseventh was complete, the Indi-
ans kept the rally alive. With one out and a 15-13 def-
icit in the bottom of the seventh,the Indians loaded the bases.Then the next three batters allwalked to hand CCD the walk-off 16-15 win.
“I coached knothole for awhile, too, and I haven’t seenanything like that before; thatwas strange,” the coach said ofthe comeback. “We’ll take itthough. It was a good win.”
Cincinnati Country Day,ranked No. 5 in the Enquirer Di-vision II-IV area coaches' poll,improved to 14-4 this season.Summit Country Day, rankedNo. 7, fell to 11-7. Summit andCCD played again May 1.
Dunn is hopeful his team willstart to play the way its statetop-10 ranking says it should.

INDIAN HILL — In one of thewettest springs in recent mem-ory, Indian Hill High School isthe envy of many area teams astheir baseball and softballteams rarely miss games.
Minus rakes and expensivebags of Diamond Dry, PatSpurlock’s girls and ScottLloyd’s baseball Braves are en-joying the upside of artificialturf infields installed by The
Motz Group. Surrounding theinfields are dugouts, battingcages and plush outfield grassirrigated by drainage tiles.
In other words, outside oflightning, neither team has hashad to deal with the nightmareof rescheduling.
Other athletic directorshave been complimentary andjealous. Current Braves ADJeff Zidron has overseen theprocess that was in the plan-ning stages when he arrived.
“There were some long
term plans to upgrade our fa-cilities,” Zidron said. “The firstphase was the turfing of thefootball stadium and the turf-ing of the soccer complex nearour primary building. The sec-ond stage was to rearrange thebaseball and softball upperfields. They had not reallybeen touched since the ‘70s.”
Now, Tomahawk Stadiumhas bright turf with shades ofgreen and Indian Hill red and

the soccer complex al-lows exclusive use forthose squads.
A year ago, the base-ball and softball fieldshad temporary fencesand looked dated and for-gotten. Since last spring,both fields have been re-positioned and are thegems of the CincinnatiHills League.
Long-term plans in-clude adding a pathwayto Tomahawk Stadium,new concession standsand a central plaza.
“We’re pretty proud ofwhat it looks like rightnow,” Zidron said. “We’venoticed we’re drawingmuch bigger crowds. Thestands are packed andthe kids are excited tocome out and watch. Par-
ents and the communityare getting behind it be-cause it’s such a nice fa-cility.”
The old baseball fieldgrass is being re-seededand will become an auxil-iary space for middleschool football and fieldhockey.
In addition to Motz, acontractor out of Daytondid the dugouts, stonework and sod.
“The process wasquick once we pulled thetrigger,” Zidron said. “Itdates back two to two-and-a-half years since itwas planned. It came in atabout $1.2 million. Wedon’t think there’s any-thing like it in the citywith the amenities we’vebuilt with the battingcages and dugouts.”
The field has been ahuge selling point forbaseball coach ScottLloyd.

Lallathin went to Ken-nesaw State after fouryears as a member of thecoaching staff at MiamiUniversity.
He joined the Red-Hawks program as an ad-ministrative assistant oneseason before assumingthe role of director of bas-ketball operations andthen assistant coach. Pri-or to his time at Miami,Lallathin served a four-year stint as the men’s as-sociate varsity headcoach at Lakota WestHigh School in his nativeWest Chester.
Lallathin said the oneconstant is basketballthroughout all his coach-ing levels over the years.
He said he will enter St.
X with a clean slate and noagenda as he meets theteam. He will assemblehis coaching staff verysoon too.
Lallathin was one ofmore than 40 applicantsfor the position after long-time St. Xavier coachScott Martin resigned onMarch 18.
As a Miami Universityassistant, Lallathinrecruited former St. Xstandout Roderick Mills.Lallathin is familiar withthe various conferencesand programs around thearea.

“I remember not know-ing what to expect sincejust about everyone onour team had neverplayed before,” oldest sonTom Kennedy Jr. said. “Iremember my Dad did nothave this worry.”

SYCAMORE TWP. — TomKennedy’s four sons willbe on hand May 9 to watchas the Moeller HighSchool lacrosse team paystribute to their father –the father of Crusader la-crosse – in “Play for TKDay” May 9.
Kennedy, who died inJanuary, will be the focalpoint as the boys take onColumbus DeSales at theGerry Faust AthleticComplex.
He served as theschool’s head coach twiceafter starting the pro-gram. His older sonscame home one day andannounced to their moth-er Father Tedesco hadfound a lacrosse coach.With a leap of faith, Ken-nedy began the Crusad-ers’ program in 1987-88.
With an overall recordof 139-57 at Moeller, hecoached nationally-ranked squads in 1992 and1993 and was elected tothe Ohio Lacrosse Hall ofFame in 2001. His foursons (Tom Jr. ’88, Matt ’90,Jim ’93 and Pat ’97) allplayed for Moeller andmoved on to Division I la-crosse.
“We had a target on ourbacks all year long afterwinning the 1992 Ohiochampionship,” Jim Ken-nedy recalled. “My dad
sought me out in the mid-dle of the field and we em-braced and gave each oth-er a big hug. My dad keptsaying. ‘We did it!’ ”
Since arriving atMoeller last year, currenthead coach Sean McGin-nis has researched theschool’s history and com-pares Kennedy to thegridiron legend, Faust.
“That’s what Tom Ken-nedy means to the la-crosse program,” he said.“He started the program
at Moeller and started alot of lacrosse locally.He’s coached a lot of All-Americans and was a two-time, back-to-back statechampion. We owe a lot tohis legacy. We put on theback of our shirts thisyear, ‘Protect the Lega-cy.’ ”
Kennedy started withone team and severalplayers who had neverpicked up a stick. In hisfifth season, Moeller wasa state champion. Now,
traits were stressed byour dad from the firstpractice all the waythrough his last daycoaching in 2008.”
As with all Moellersports, they shy awayfrom no one. They have al-ready faced the state’s No.1 team in St. Xavier andthe No. 5 team in Wor-thington Kilbourne. Earlyon, they took on LouisvilleTrinity and Louisville St.Xavier. They also went toIndiana to tangle with topprograms in Carmel andCulver Academy.
After starting withwins against Trinity andSeven Hills, Moeller lost
five straight before de-feating Kiski Prep ofPennsylvania and Divi-sion II power Mariemont.
“This is like a transi-tion year,” McGinnis said.
The defense has heldMoeller in many gamesled by seniors Jack Toomband Grant Clark and goal-ie Mitch Nietupski. Sen-iors Nick Cinquina and Er-ic Reynolds and sopho-more Cory Lockwoodhave led the scoring.
Shirts reading “Playfor TK” will be availableMay 9. The game with De-Sales begins at 3 p.m..
Tom Kennedy, surrounded by lacrosse players, family and friends, died in January. The Moellerlacrosse team will honor him May 9.

The Bigelow family hosted one ofChildspring International’s children,Makenge Chacha, who was in the U.S.for treatment following a horrific hye-na attack three years ago in his Tan-zanian village. As a result of the at-tack, he lost both hands and wasscalped.
Shriner’s Hospital in Lexingtonfitted Makenge with prosthetic hands,which dramatically changed his life.Shriner’s Hospital in Cincinnati mirac-ulously repaired Makenge’s scalp,leaving him with a full head of hair,and the confidence of a young manwho has a beautiful life ahead of him,something he never thought he wouldever have again.
In addition to other families whohosted Makenge for his first year inthe United States, as well as the EastEnd Adult Learning Center who pro-vided him with tutors to help him learnEnglish, Makenge will return to Tan-zania with a love and appreciation forso many Cincinnatians who were thereto help him grow, heal, and becomewhole again.
