Sycamore CommunitySchoolswill seeupdatestotheirmedia centers, technology andbuildings as part of the dis-trict’s 10-year plan.

Director of Business Opera-tions ChadLewis presented thedistrict’s 10-year plan to theboard of education.

Lewis said one part of theplan is tomodernizemedia cen-ters across the district.

“Theway they are currentlyset up is very traditional. Thereis a push for amore 21st Centu-ry environment to do more,”Lewis said.

Lewis said he has receivedthe most requests for morefunctional media centers fromemployees at EdwinH. GreeneIntermediate School, Syca-more Junior High School andSycamoreHighSchool.He saidthere will be significantchanges in themedia centers inthe next few years.

Assistant SuperintendentFrank Forsthoefel said the dis-trict is looking to create moreflexible learning space for stu-dents thatcanbeadapted todif-ferent students’ learningstyles.

Forsthoefelsaidthefact that$800,000 of the district’s annualbudget goes to technologyshows that the school is tryingtokeepupwith the latest trendstocreate thebest learningenvi-ronment for the students.

Hesaidthere isflexibilityonwhere the money is spent: insome years it is on newdevicesandinothers it isspenton infra-

structure, such as updating thenetwork when bring-your-own-device programs were imple-mented at the junior high andhigh school.

“We are thinking aboutwhatwecandoforupgrades. It isnotjust a student issue, we arethinking about teachers’ de-vices also,” Forsthoefel said.

With \construction of theMaple Dale Elementary Schoolnearing an end, BoardMemberJean Staubach said many par-ents have asked her whichschool is going to be renovatedor replaced next.

“I think we need to have along-range plan onwhatwe aregoing to do with our sevenschool buildings and (the dis-trict office),” Staubach said.

BoardMember Jill Cole saidthat in the last 10 years the dis-trict has been good at actingpre-emptively, so it is morelikely that the school buildings

could be renovated instead ofreplaced.

Lewis said there is noplan toreplace a school in the next 10years, but Greene school wasallotted the most funds – $5.8million – of all the buildings forthe tentative 10-year budgetsummary.

The city of Blue Ashclaims it did nothingwrong in the dispute withresident Ingrid Andersonover a service animal thathas resulted in the citybe-ing sued in federal court.

Anderson and HousingOpportunities MadeEqual, or HOME, filed alawsuit in federal courtagainst the cityFeb.18 ac-cusing Blue Ash of violat-ing the Americans withDisabilities Act by not al-lowing Anderson’s 13-year-old daughter, Chloe,to keep her miniaturehorse, Ellie, as a serviceanimal.

The city filed a motionfor a summary judgmentMarch 26, asking thecourt to dismiss Ander-son’s claims with preju-dice, meaning Andersoncould not file a suitagainst the city on thesame grounds again. Thecourthasyet to respond tothe request.

Both sides had a statusconference March 27 anda preliminary pretrialconference is set withJudge Timothy Back forApril 14.

The city filed a re-sponse to Anderson’scomplaint March 14. ThecitydeniedAnderson’sac-cusation andasked for thecourt to dismiss the com-plaint. The city said it act-ed in a proper and lawfulmanner and did not vio-late any federal laws.

The city’s responsestated “Ellie is not a ser-

vice animal or assistanceanimal as defined by theADA or (Fair HousingAct).”

Anderson said some-thing similar in her depo-sition takenMarch 10.

“Ellie doesn’t performtherapy for Chloe. Shehelps Chloe with her sta-bility while walking, help-ingherpullupfromfalls,”shesaid.Andersonadmitslater in her deposition shetold Blue Ash Police offi-cers that Ellie was usedfor therapy.

In a memorandumfield by the city, the citypoints out that Andersonnever appealed decisionsby the Blue Ash Board ofZoning Appeals, Blue AshCity Council, Blue AshMayor’s Court andHamil-ton County MunicipalCourt that she could notkeepEllie at her home un-der the ADA and FHA.

“Boiled down, this caseis about one thing: (TheAndersons) want to housea miniature horse in thebackyard of a two-tenthsof an acre lot they rent onMyrtle Avenue in Blue

Ash. This lot is located inthemiddle of a residentialneighborhood,” the courtdocuments read.

Anderson said Elliewas donated to the familyas a baby in 2012. Ander-son said she has beentraining Ellie to help herdaughter navigate theirbackyard and do hippoth-erapy, which is physical,occupational and speechtherapy donewith horses.

Hippotherapywas pre-scribed by a doctor atChildren’s Hospital in2010, but the city states in

court documents that atherapist must be presentfor hippotherapy.

The city also pointedout that Anderson re-moved Ellie from herproperty on her own. An-derson said in court docu-ments that shedidso fromfear of further prosecu-tionafter she was convict-ed of violating the city’sfarm animals ordinance.

The city claims thatsince Ellie does not assistAnderson’s daughter in-side their home, in publicplaces or at school, thehorsedoesnot qualify as aservice animal. The cityand Anderson said thehorse is not housebroken.

According to court

documents, the city hasreceived numerous com-plaints about the amountof animal waste and thestench from the numberof animals Anderson haskept at the property.

The HorrorWriters Associa-tion nominated ArchbishopMoeller High School’s EnglishDepartment Chair Geoffrey Gi-rard’s new teen novel, “ProjectCain,” for aBramStoker award.

This award recognizes “Su-perior Achievement in a YoungAdult Novel,” and names thenovel as one of the top five teenbooks of 2013.

TheBramStokerAwardsarean international prize for litera-ry achievement in dark fantasyand horror writing.

The final award ceremonywill be held in Portland in Mayand will include nominees inother categories, including Ste-phen King and script writersfrom “TheWalking Dead.”

Last fall, Simon & Schusterpublished two novels byGirard.The first, “Cain’s Blood,” is atechno thriller fromTouchstoneBooks.

The second, “Project Cain,”is a stand-alone companion nov-el for teen readers from Simon& Schuster.

LastSeptember, Joseph-BethBooksellers in Rookwoodlaunched Girard’s novels, andhe spoke to a record crowdabout his books and writing. Toview a slideshow of this event,please go tonetmoeller.moeller.org.

“Cain’s Blood and ProjectCain are two different novelswritten about the same fictional

event,” Girard said. “In both,scientists have been doing un-pleasant things for the militaryand these unpleasant things es-cape. The two books explore thetrouble/adventurethatensues…and simply do so differently.”

Hediscussed howhe becameinterestedinsciencefiction/hor-ror novels and how he hopesreaders will see his currentbooks as a combination of twoauthors who inspire him themost: IsaacAsimovandStephen

King.Girard also spoke about how

a former teacher that he ad-miredfirst inspiredhimtowriteand now to teach.

Early reviews called thebooks a combination of MichaelCrichton and “Silence of theLambs.” Horror superstar R.L.Stine said, “Here’s a book thattruly deserves to be called hor-rifying. I swear, this book keptcreepingme out long after I fin-ished reading it!”

Girard is an award-winningauthor of several books and hasbeen featured at local events.Last October he was a guest au-thor in Cincinnati’s “Books bythe Banks” USA Book Festival,which involved more than 100authors around the nation. Youcan learn more about all hiswork at GeoffreyGirard.com.His books are available at localbookstores and atwww.Amazon.com.

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP — Thestarting guns have fired and thehigh school track and field sea-son is underway. The followingis a rundown of teams in theNortheast Suburban Life cover-age area.

Sycamore»Hank Ray heads up both

Sycamore teams this season offof Cornell Road. Ray earnedGreater Miami Conferencecoach of the year last season asthe Aviators finished secondamong GMC boys.

Top returners are senior shotput/discus thrower Todd Lewis,sprinter Ronnie Williams andhurdler John Vuotto. Lewis wassecond teamGMC,Vuottomadethird team and Williams wassecond team on the 4x100 relayand honorable mention in the100.

Lewiswas a state qualifier in2013andwillbepushedbyteam-mate and Duke football commitTinashe Bere.

“I see big things fromboth ofthose two,” Ray said.

Leading the boys distancerunners is Ray Berling, Syca-more’s top cross country per-former.

“He has more competitive-ness than anyone on our team,”Ray said. “He has a will to win.He’s the leader of our distanceprogram as a sophomore.”

There’s only seven seniorsbetween both Sycamore teams,but Ray has some young per-formers that should mesh wellwith his veterans in the shortdistances.

“Our strength is in oursprints with Ronnie Williams,Jamar Hunter, Clarence Daw-son, Kedarius Bell, JeremiahHunter and Brendon Archer,”Ray said. “All of them are goingto be very hard to beat. A coupleare freshman, but they showedthey had experience during in-door. They’ve been practicingwith our main guys. Our 100,200, 4x100 and 4x200 relaysshould be tough.”

Sycamore’s Lady Aves fea-tures juniordistancerunnerRo-sie Menyhert, who steps fromthe shadows of the graduatedSam Siler. Menyhert was GMChonorable mention as a sopho-more and made second team aspart of the 4x800 relay

“She’s the hardest workinggirl that I’ve ever been around,”Ray said. “She wants to be thebest. She doesn’t stop and shetrains with our guys. She canbeat half of them. It makes herworkharder.We think this is go-ing to be her best year yet.”

In field events, Sycamore re-turns junior pole vaulters ToriSwart and Molly Gearin. Swartmade honorable mention all-league a year ago.

The girls will feature manynew faces as much of lastspring’s second-place GMCteam graduated.

“I’m going to be surprised tosee how the girls do because wehave a lot to replace from lastyear,” Ray said.

Sycamore participates in theCoaches Classic meet April 9and 11.

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy

» TheEagle boys are small innumberwithjust14athletes,butheadcoachJulieDietrich thinksthey should be competitive inthe Miami Valley Conferenceand beyond.

“We are a mixed bag,” shesaid. “We have some talent inseveral events. We might beyoung, but we have some prettygoodathleteswhocanfill a lot of

spots. Where we end up on thatfinal podium is hard to say, butthey’re like sponges soakingthings up and working hard.They’re a very versatile teambecausetheydon’thaveanypre-conceived notions of whatevents they should be doing.”

SeniorsMatt Overstreet is inhis second year of sprinting,while classmate Alex Stevenswas a regional qualifier in thepolevault last seasonandshouldclear 12 feet this year.

Sophomore Prince Sammonsreturns for his second season inthe shotput anddiscus.Apair offreshmen - Adam Baker andBen Collado - should help in thejumps and sprints.

Dietrich has 16 girls out fortrack and field, an admittedlysmall number, but one twice the

size of last year’s team.Only two team members ran

last season. Sophomore LaneDowney is approaching theschool record in the 400 metersand could go under a minute inthat eventbefore shegraduates.Junior Cynthia Aguilar rancross country in the fall andwillcompete in the mile and middledistances.

Senior Marissa Koob joinedthe team for the first time fol-lowing outstanding volleyballand basketball seasons; she’sslotted into the throws and willrun some relays.

“I’m looking forward to thefuture of my girls,” Dietrichsaid. “They’re going to be spe-cial. Most of my speed is in myfreshman class. They are goingto keep learning and growingand getting better.”

Indian Hill» The Indian Hill girls were

fourth and boys sixth in the Cin-cinnati Hills League a year agounder the direction of veterancoach Susan Savage.

For the Indian Hill girls, ju-niors Sabrina Bulas and Mac-Kenzie Owen were members ofthe regional qualifying 4x800relay and were CHL first team.However,Owenwasrecently in-jured on a ski trip, leaving holesto fill.

“The task will be to (also) re-place seniors Sara Lance andJennyBlazic,”Savagesaid. “I’mhoping freshmen Sydney Miles

and SarahBorden are up for thechallenge.”

Junior Sara SchwanekampwasCHLsecond team in the 400and was part of the 4x400 relayalong with senior Emma Loweand junior Kelli Gerlinger. Ju-nior Julia Sewell is expected tojoin that group. The 4x100 relayreturns senior Liza David andjunior Andrea Francisco.

Sophomore Anna Defendief-er will handle the 3200-meterrun, freshman Karen Folz willbe featured in the 100 and 200and junior Chloe Wentland willhelp in the throwing events.

Indian Hill’s boys featureseniorDrakeStimsonwhomadeit to the state meet in the highjump last season and has soaredas high as 6-feet-6-inches. Stim-son was CHL first team, whilejuniorWellsCoalfleetmadesec-ond team as a sophomore in the400 and 4x800 relay and thirdteam in the 4x400 relay.

“The boys 4x800 relay ofCoalfleet, sophomore TrentGeyer, senior Joe Majchszakand freshmanBenWarstlerwillbe exciting to watch develop,”Savage said.

The Braves will also featuresenior Noah Brackenburg as anall-purpose athlete, runninghurdles, throwing shot and dis-cus, jumping and running the4x400 relay if needed. Back inthe throwing events after miss-ing his junior season with ashoulder injury is senior SamSmith. Smith recently signed to

play football at Miami Univer-sity.

IndianHill will participate intheMadeira Invitational April 9and the Cincinnati Country DayInvitational April 11.

Moeller»Heading up the Crusaders’

track and field efforts this sea-son is Jason Crockett. Crocketthas been Moeller’s jump coachin recent years.

Senior Isaiah Gentry hopesto back to Greater CatholicLeague-South first teamform inthe 400meters, but was battlinginjury early in the spring. Gen-try is a Minnesota football com-mit.

“He’s waiting to be clearedby the doctor,” Crockett said.

Leading Moeller’s sprint ef-forts is Chase Pankey in the 100and 200meters,MichaelWilkin-son in the 200 and 400 and a re-turning Crusader.

“Mitch Gentile was hurt alllastyear,butI thinkhe’sgoingtobringa lot to the teamthisyear,”Crockett said. “He’s going to bea 200 and 400 type of guy.”

All events have taken a hit atMoeller as many fresh facessurround Crockett at practice.

“Two-thirds of my team arefreshmen and sophomores,” hesaid. “Trying to get times onthese young guys have beenrough.”

Assisting the youth in throw-ing events will be a familiarname. Former Bengal BrianMilne is a friend of the programwho has volunteered his ser-vices.

Distance events should beled by junior Mitch Poch andsophomoreMatthew Dewine.

Moeller will next compete atthe Coaches Classic at WintonWoods April 9 and 11.

Ursuline Academy» The Lions have 32

athletes out this spring, 17of them returning. Whilehead coachMeganMcAu-ley said the numbers are alittle down, she likes thelook of her team.

“In my first three sea-sons,wewere third (in theGirls Greater CatholicLeague) last year and sec-ond the two before that,”she said. “We might nothave as many girls, butwe’re a little deeper allaround. We have a lot ofoptions and I thinkwe canreally go for the league ti-tle this year.”

Senior Christine Fred-erick leads a strong dis-tance group that also in-cludes juniors Grace Kel-ly, Chatherine Finke, Mi-randa Grigas and ColleenJohnston. Frederick, Kel-ly Grigas and Johnstonqualified for the statemeet in the 4x800 relaylast season.

Senior Cayla Carey, atransfer from Princeton,will be one of the topsprinters forUrsuline andis already long jumping at18 feet.

Junior Christina Hall-mann anchors the throw-ers in shot put and discus,while sophomore Court-ney Ruehlmann should beone of the Lions best hur-dlers.

Background onLoveland fire levy

May 6 voters will be askedto support a 1.75 mil levy tomaintain your community firedepartment. Allowme to pro-vide a little background on thelevy:

» The last levy request wasin 2006 and was approved bynearly 70 percent of the voters– thanks for your confidenceand support.

» The 2006 levy was project-ed to adequately meet firedepartment expenses for fiveyears; thus through goodman-agement we were able tosqueeze three more years fromthat levy.

How didwemake a five-year levy last eight years?

» “Belt tightening.” Forexample firefighters receivedno raises for three years.

»Reducing costs by formingpurchasing and operating coop-eratives with neighboring firedepartments.

»Deferring the replace-ment of ambulances and fireequipment.

Who are we?We have always been a com-

munity fire department; oper-ated by your neighbors toserve and keep our communitysafe. From the time of our first

chief, JuliusDefossit, andhis neighborswho startedthis depart-ment 75 yearsago we havealways beenabout the com-munity –neighborshelping neigh-

bors.We’re more than just your

fire and EMS department – weare about shaping andmain-taining the quality of life in ourcommunity.

Where dowe stand?We stand for and with our

community. When times gottough for all of us during thegreat recession your firefight-ers stood up and did what wasnecessary to insure qualityservice andmaintain fiscalsolvency.

What did we do?During the last eight years

we elevated the department tothe best ISO (insurance serviceorganization) rating a depart-ment can earn. We were ac-credited nationally for bothfire and EMS all the whilekeeping a balanced budget.

What is the next step?We’ve gone as far as we can

go with the 2006 levy. Withoutyour approval of this levy,funds will run dry by the end of2015. This levy will cost theowner of a one hundred thou-sand dollar home $61.25 peryear. We have always stretchedlevies farther than ever ex-pected and remained goodstewards of your tax dollars –never seeking more than whatis absolutely necessary.

As Chief Defossit alwaystold me: “Never ask for morethan you need, spend evenless,” and “the best place fortaxpayers dollars is with them,only ask them to reach intotheir pockets when absolutelynecessary.”

We believe we’ve earnedyour trust and hope you willsupport us May 6.

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS,COLUMNS POLICY

April 2 questionThere is a campaign both lo-

cally and nationally to makebaseball’s Opening Day an offi-cial holiday. Do you think this isa good idea? Why or why not?

“As the Reds are the oldestprofessional baseball organi-zation in American history, go-ing back to 1869, if this were toofficially happen Cincinnatiwould be a good place to try itout as a local holiday. Whetheror not you’re a baseball fan youhave to admit that.”

TRog

“I think this is a very goodidea. Baseball is king in thiscity andwe take this day everyyear to honor that.”

Terry Garvin

“Things are just fine here inCincinnati on Opening Day. Ifothers wish to do the samething they should be able to doit without bringing in the localor national governments.”

R.V.

“Whynot?Sinceagreatdealof people take off work forOpening Day on any profes-sional baseball team, andwatch their parades, might notbe a bad idea. I think Cincin-nati should be the first select-ed for this since they had thefirst professional baseballteam!”

OHR

“I’m not really sure if othercities celebrate Opening Dayin the same fashion as Cincin-nati. There is a lot of activity

that is exhibited on OpeningDay from early morning andtill late in the evening. I knowthe stadium only seats approx-imately 40,000, butmanymanymore take off work that day,due to sickness or whatever,and boost our economy by fre-quenting a local establishmentsomewhere to watch on TV. Ialso understand that OpeningDaycauses someof thehighestabsenteeism within our schoolsystems, and possibly the low-est production within mostcompanies. Did you ever try toget anything done with a localor county office on this day? Iknow when I was working, wealways had a TV and refresh-ments for our customers in thelobby and had the employeesdress in their Reds garb. Thisis a day of enjoyment and so-cializingamongst thousands ofpeople, and if we can’t do thisjust for one day, maybe weshould just keep on as is andcontinue to play hooky.”

Historic Hunt House opening with fashion show

I may be jinxing my-self, but I think we’vefinally transitioned intospring. The last fewdays have convinced me,and in our little patch ofwoods, I’m seeing true

harbin-gers: wa-tercress inour springfed pooland trilli-ums,bloodroot,anemonesand springbeautiesall pokingup through

the leaves. The dande-lions and wild onions areall over the place. Bothnutritious wild edibles.

Meanwhile, we’regearing up for Easter.One of my favorite yeastbuns to make is hotcross buns. Now thesearen’t extremely sweet,like a sweet roll (they’rea bun, remember), butjust sweet enough toreally enjoy with a cupof tea or glass of milk.

Legend has it that ifyou make yeasted hotcross buns for GoodFriday and hang one upin the kitchen, you’ll

have success with any-thing you make withyeast all year ‘round.That won’t be happeningat my house! Let thekids help Granddaugh-ter Eva loved makingthe cross decoration.You can also simply usethe icing as a glaze overthe whole bun.

Buns1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) active

dry yeast, regular orrapid rise

1 tablespoon plus 1/2cup sugar, divided

1 cup warm milk (110°-115°)

1/4 cup softened but-ter

Couple dashes salt1/2 to 1 cup raisins1 large egg, room

temperature3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups

all-purpose flourPreheat oven to 375.

In mixer bowl, dissolveyeast and 1 tablespoonsugar in warm milk. Letstand for 5 minutes. Itwill foam up. Add butter,raisins, egg, salt andremaining sugar; beatuntil smooth.

On low speed, pour inenough flour to formsoft dough - I used 3-1/2

cups. Turn onto verylightly floured surface(not too much flour orbuns will be tough);knead until smooth like ababy’s bottom, about 5minutes. I used thedough hook so avoidedhand kneading and extraflour.

Place in sprayed orbuttered bowl, turningonce to coat top. Blessdough! Cover and letrise in warm place untildoubled, 1 hour or more.Stick a finger in gently,if indentation remains,you’re good to go; if itsprings back, it needs toraise more.

Punch dough down.Divide into 12 portions.Shape into balls.

Place in sprayed orbuttered 13x9 pan. Coverand let rise until dou-bled, about 45 minutes.

Bake 25-30 minutes oruntil golden. Mine weredone at 25 minutes.

IcingWhisk together:2 cups confectioner’s

sugar1 tablespoon vanilla4 tablespoons water

or more if needed. Makea cross shape on each

bun.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

Raising in frig: As anexperiment, I divideddough in half and let halfraise at room temper-ature and half in frig,covered, overnight. Thedough from the frig tooklonger to raise, but bothbatches came out great.

Hawaiian roll cloneLeave out raisins and

icing and you have a rollthat, to me, tastes likestore-bought Hawaiianrolls. The crust is not assoft, but the sweet flavoris there!

Yeast basicsBack in the old days

yeast came in the formof moist little cakes andhad to be refrigerated.Now we can buy dryyeast in the store. Itcomes in many forms,from regular yeast torapid rise to bread ma-chine yeast. All easy touse!

Is it fresh?To make sure your

yeast can still leaven,add a little to some

warm water with a pinchof sugar. It should foamup within minutes. Ifnot, toss it. Yeast kept infreezer stays fresh long-er.

Can you help?Yeasty flavor in

breads: Lois B. has afriend who wants toknow how to make theflavor of yeast moreprominent in her bakedgoods. Using regular, notrapid rise may help. Anysuggestions from bakersin our Community circle

of friends?Applebee’s hot bacon

dressing. Wanda R. hastried “to no avail” tomake this. Do you have asimilar recipe?
