COLLECTION TIME
Just a month after its cre-ation, the Madeira Historic Dis-trict now has a property man-ager and leasing agent.
Madeira city council ap-proved the ordinance April 13 tohave North Ridge RealtyGroup, of West Chester Town-ship, act as the leasing agentand property manager for theHosbrook House, MuchmoreHouse and Madeira Train De-pot.
“North Ridge has been verycooperative and very helpful.We are very pleased with NorthRidge’s approach,” Law Direc-tor Bob Malloy said.
North Ridge did a marketrate analysis for the three prop-erties, which are all beingleased under the market rate.Councilwoman Nancy Spencersaid North Ridge determined$18 per square foot for the twohouses and $22 for the Train De-pot. The cost includes the baserent, insurance and commonarea maintenance expenses,said Pam Shrout, of NorthRidge.
With those rates, it wouldcost $29,844 annually to rent theMuchmore House, $18,684 forthe Hosbrook House and$28,996 for the Train Depot.
Creativities owner ChristineParker pays $15,000 annuallyfor the Muchmore House. TheMadeira Woman’s Club, a non-profit, pays $3,600 for the Hos-brook house and radio personal-ity Bill Cunningham pays$18,000 to the Train Depot,which he is subleasing to LaSoupe owner Suzy DeYoung.
North Ridge will be paid 6percent of the total base rent upto the first 60 months or initiallease term plus 3 percent for theremainder of the term to negoti-ation the lease agreement.
North Ridge will be paid a 3 per-cent of any renewal period thatit renegotiates.
Shrout said North Ridgewould get the same rates even ifone of the current tenantsleases the properties.
“It is a new lease. We are go-ing to have everything new, weare going to put out requests forproposals. Those will all go outfor response back so it will be allnew,” Shrout said.
Shrout said she is planningfor five-year lease agreementsfor the properties. CouncilmanKenneth Born asked if the citywould be refunded if a businesswere to sign a five-year lease,but fail after three years.Shrout said no.
Parker asked at an earliermeeting of the need for a leas-ing agent to find tenants. Park-er said she wants to stay in theMuchmore House and wouldlease the Hosbrook House, ifthe woman’s club decides toleave.
The city has received 11 pro-posals from people willing torent the train depot.
As part of the agreement,North Ridge will be the emer-gency contact for the proper-ties and will charge $125 an hourif it handles the calls. NorthRidge will charge $200 an hourwhen the company acts as aproperty management serviceconsultant or general real es-tate consultant.
North Ridge also agreed tothe three objectives for the dis-trict: optimize economic benefitto community via direct and in-direct revenue, stimulate con-sumer spending in Madeira andpreserve unique character ofdowntown Madeira and recog-nizing historic significance.

For the past eight years,Honor Flight Tri-State hasflown hundreds of male mili-tary veterans to visit Washing-ton, D.C. memorials free ofcharge.
On September 22, the Cin-cinnati-based nonprofit is lift-ing off with the first ever allwomen veterans’ flight, mark-ing its own historic event.
“Some would say that theywish more women were on theflight,” Honor Flight DirectorCheryl Popp said. “No one everreally thought about having aflight for just women veterans– until now. The Tri-State flightwill be the first of its kind in thenation.” News about the flightwent out in early April and ap-plications are already beingsubmitted, Popp said.
Founded in 2007, the HonorFlight Tri-State was created tohonor America’s WW II, Kore-an and Vietnam Veterans andall veterans over age 65, whoserved either stateside or over-seas, by providing them a freetrip to visit their memorials inWashington D.C. It is part of anational network founded in
2005 that shares similar goals.Senior veterans over age 65
will have top priority on thisflight with younger veteransunder the age of 40 invited toserve as their guardians, Poppsaid.
Women have been includedin past Honor Flights that werepredominantly men, but usual-ly no more than five at a time,Popp said.
One woman eager to be aguardian on the flight is AshleyBrunkel. The Clifton woman isa proud veteran who servednine years with the Army Na-tional Guard. Her service in-cluded being part of OperationNew Dawn pulling the troopsout of Iraq. She left the servicein 2013 to finish her degreefrom the University of Cincin-nati in criminal justice. Brun-kel said she’s the first in herfamily to graduate from col-lege.
The inspiration for all thatshe’s done, from serving hercountry to pursuing her col-lege degree she attributes toher grandfather, the late Clif-ford Ireland.
“He was in the 3rd InfantryDivision in World War II inNormandy,” Brunkel said. “He
was somebody in the family weall looked up to.” Though hedied when she was young, be-tween the ages of 5-8, Brunkelrecalled her grandfather in-spiring her to play a musical in-strument and to get an educa-tion.
She’s always wanted to goon an honor flight, but has noveterans in her own familywith whom she can share theexperience. Being a guardianon a flight would give her anopportunity to hear the storiesof women who had a very dif-ferent experience from herown.
“They have stories not ev-erybody hears. To be on thisflight and help take care ofthem would be an honor. I’m anable body. I’m a veteran. I canhelp with that,” Brunkel said.
The memorials in Washing-ton D.C. are often not seen bythe very veterans that theyhonor, Popp said. The HonorFlight trips include visits to theWorld War II, Korean, Viet-nam, Lincoln, and Iwo JimaMarine Memorials and thetomb of the Unknown Soldierin Arlington National Ceme-

A private school spe-cializing in educating stu-dents with autism is look-ing to open at a Montgome-ry church.
Montgomery Presby-terian Church Pastor Me-lissa Bacon and SkywardAcademy Founder and Di-rector Michelle Amreinoutlined plans beforeMontgomery PlanningCommission on April 6.The church is applying fora conditional use permit
from the city to allow theschool to operate in five ofits existing classrooms.
“We are very excitedabout the work that Sky-ward Academy does, andwe are happy to provide aplace for them to do whatthey do,” Bacon said.
Skyward serves stu-dents in fourth gradethrough high school grad-uation. The school is forstudents on the autismspectrum or who have oth-er learning disabilities,Amrein said. The schoolfocuses on individualizedlearning plans and in-struction.
The planning commis-
sion approved the school’sapplication, but it will stillhave to go through a publichearing and vote by Mont-gomery city council.
Skyward’s school inMontgomery would have35 students and 10 teach-ers.
“The church would liketo lease part of the build-ing to the school. Theyhave had a series of educa-tional tenants,” Communi-ty Development DirectorTracy Roblero said.
Renaissance Montesso-ri School and Ohio ValleyOral School used to oper-ate out of the church’sclassrooms, Roblero said.
Roblero said therewould be no changeswould be made to thebuilding and the pick-upand drop-off area would bethe same used by the otherschools.
Roblero said she re-ceived one concern from aresident that parentswould drive too quickly
during the pick-up anddrop-off times. The en-trance to the church is atthe intersection of Zig ZagRoad and Windzag Laneand the parking lot bor-ders a neighborhood onone side.
Amrein said the par-ents are all very involvedand each student is walked
into the school from thecar drop off line by ateacher.
Amrein said she andBacon are talking aboutfixing up the existing play-ground at the church, butthat would be the onlychange at the church.
Amrein said the schoolis part of Skyward’s ex-pansion plan.
Skyward has a school inDeer Park and a therapeu-tic center for students inkindergarten througheighth grade with autismin Monfort Heights. Ac-cording to the applicationwith Montgomery, if theschool were to grow tomore than 45 students itwould have to apply for anexpansion from the city.

COLUMBUS — Dozens ofwitnesses.
One message: No morecuts to school funding.
Cincinnati-area educa-tors flocked to the State-house on Thursday to pro-test a school-funding pro-posal they say will crippletheir schools.
It’s part of the push-back to the budget intro-duced Tuesday by HouseRepublicans. The propos-al offers more overallmoney to schools – an ex-tra $179 million comparedwith the plan Gov. JohnKasich offered in the win-ter. But House Republi-cans agreed with Kasichthat the state should startphasing out money dis-tricts have received foryears as a reimbursementfor the discontinued “tan-gible personal propertytax,” or TPP.
The end result is 93 dis-tricts would end up withless state funding over thetwo-year budget.
Princeton City Schoolsboard member SteveMoore told House repre-sentatives that in 2007,Princeton got $24 millionfrom TPP reimbursement.That’s dropped to $16.1million, about 24 percentof the district’s overallbudget.
To span the gap, Prince-ton had to pass a levy, cut150 positions, trim pro-grams and cut benefits,Moore said.
The district can’t ab-sorb much more, he said.
“We know the impact ofthis decision,” he said,“and we hope and pray youdo, too.”
At its core, the issue hasbecome one of he-said,she-said. Some legislatorssay the TPP reimburse-ment was always meant tobe temporary – a way tohelp school districts easeinto the new funding mod-el.
Educators, however,say that’s a lie.
Further complicatingthe matter is the fact theTPP tax was eliminated
about a decade ago, somany of the legislators inoffice at the time havemoved on.
“About every twoyears, we’ve had to comeand fight for the TPP reim-bursement,” said Prince-ton interim superinten-dent Edward Theroux.“What we’re asking for is apermanent fix. ... Therewas a promise that wewould be made whole.”
Statewide, Mason City
Schools would take thebiggest cut over the two-year course of the budget,$3.6 million, according topreliminary projections.
Lakota is second, slatedto lose $3.1 million, fol-lowed by Princeton, down$1.7 million.
The cuts are slimmerthan what Kasich pro-posed, but educators saythat at a time the state isthriving, any cut is toolarge.

Until now, Green Um-brella’s incoming Execu-tive Director KristinWeiss has spent her pro-fessional career outsideof Cincinnati, but the seedof passion for the environ-ment and sustainable liv-ing was planted in her
here, years ago.It began to sprout when
she became a member ofSycamore High School’sEnvironmental Club inthe mid ’90s and hasgrown ever since.
The Symmes Townshipnative has been chosenfrom roughly 40 candi-dates to lead Green Um-brella, a regional alliance
of partnersthat in-cludeparks dis-tricts, na-ture cen-ters, busi-nesses, vol-unteers
and other environmental-ly conscious groups.
She has a degree in
marketing and communi-cations from WashingtonUniversity in St. Louisand says her specialtiesare in fundraising andstrategic planning —skills she honed most re-cently as development di-rector of Midwest Pesti-cide Action Center.
Weiss was drawn toGreen Umbrella becauseof its “clearly articulated2020 goals” in seven coreareas: energy efficiency/renewable energy, land,water, outdoor recreation,local food, waste reduc-tion and transportation.
“(The goals) are specif-ic and measurable — realimprovements for the re-gion’s environment,”
Weiss said. Green Umbrella is “a
well-oiled machine withsmart people coming to-gether,” she said. Shelooks forward to growingthe collaboration andbringing more people tothe table “to increasinglymake the region a hub ofsustainability and a modelfor other metro areas.”
Green Umbrella hasbeen around as a nonprof-it for years, but experi-enced tremendousgrowth since outgoing di-rector Brewster Rhoadstook the helm in 2011.
The nonprofit organiz-es events throughout theregion including PaddleF-est and the recent Region-
al Trail Summit, attendedby 250 people, includingtrail leaders from Indian-apolis and Louisville.
Green Umbrella is alsobehind the Midwest Re-gional SustainabilitySummit at Xavier Univer-sity on May 1, which willfeature the acting deputydirector of the U.S. Envi-ronmental ProtectionAgency, Stan Meiburg, asits keynote speaker.
Weiss looks forward tomeeting many new peopleat the all-day Sustainabil-ity Summit, which is opento all and costs $50 to at-tend.

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool
» Mount Notre Dame heldits Senior Capstone ShowcaseEvening.
As part of MND’s signatureCapstone initiative, seniorsare challenged to create aservice project that demon-strates leadership and initia-tive while benefiting a non-profit organization. The senioryear Capstone Project in-volves a significant invest-ment of both time and talentas the seniors combine bothservice and leadership to im-pact agencies and individuals’lives.
It is the culmination of afour-your journey for MNDstudents under the MAP (MyAction Plan) program. TheMAP program is designed toengage students with experi-ences during their high schoolyears that will foster leader-ship skills and empower themin all areas of their lives.
This year, all of MND’s 179seniors completed their pro-jects, impacting nearly 100non-profit organizations andcountless families in Cincin-nati and beyond. The SeniorCapstone Showcase Eveningprovided an opportunity foreach senior to share her expe-rience and celebrate the im-pact her project made in thecommunity. More than 130professionals served as panel-ists for the event, represent-ing the business, educationand social service communi-ties.
Panelists provided verbaland written feedback to the
seniors on their work andasked questions related totheir projects.
“St. Julie Billiart, thefoundress of the Sisters ofNotre Dame de Namur, be-lieved in the importance ofeducating girls and the beliefthat we need to ‘teach themwhat they need to know forlife,’” said Christine Mencer,MND faculty member andMAP coordinator. “The entireproject utilizes real-life skills,from communication to or-ganization to problem solving.These are skills that followthem through life.”

APRIL 29, 2015 • SUBURBAN LIFE • 7ANEWS
When we plow the garden for oursummer vegetables and flowers, thegrandkids repeat what my own kidsasked when they were little: “Are yougoing to plant potatoes, onions and
carrots?” The answer, ofcourse, is always yes.
Digging for potatoesor pulling up onions orcarrots out of theground is like findingburied treasure. Thenice thing about grow-ing these three veggiesis that they can begrown in the ground orin a container, like abushel basket.
We especially like new potatoesfreshly dug from the garden. Here’s ayummy recipe using a different tech-nique for cooking them.
Readers want to know:What’s the best mint for Juleps and
how do you make them?Spearmint for sure. Make a simple
syrup of 2 cups each sugar and water,add about 1 cup mint leaves, smooshwith spoon to release flavor, and boiluntil sugar dissolves. Cool and strain.
Fill an 8oz. glass with crushed ice,add mint syrup to taste (start withabout 4 tablespoons and go from there.Some people like it real sweet andminty, up to 1/2 cup) and up to 4 table-spoons Kentucky bourbon. Stir realquick to make the glass frost on theoutside and garnish with a mint sprig.
Earth Day fun!So much fun sharing seeds and
planting annuals with grandkids Evaand her class at Kilgour School andJack and Will at Guardian AngelsSchool. Thanks to Natorp’s for supply-ing plants.

Root veggies, Cinco de Mayo on menu
Stovetop roasted fingerlings with butter andparsley
I saw Ina Garten make a variation of these and just had to makesome myself. I used my heavy enameled cast iron Le Creuset pot.Make sure potatoes are about the same size so they cook evenly.
1/4 cup butter1-1/2 pounds fingerling or very small potatoes, rinsed but not
peeledSalt and pepper to tasteChopped parsley
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot. Add potatoes, salt, andpepper, and toss well. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to30 minutes, until potatoes are just tender when tested with a smallknife. Shake pot occasionally without removing lid to prevent thebottom potatoes from burning. Turn off heat and steam 5 minutes.Don't overcook. Stir in parsley.
Tip: Ina used dill so try that, too.
Cinco de Mayo chili cheese dip
I like to sprinkle the finished dish with more cilantro. If youwant a spicy kick, substitute tomatoes with chilies, drained for thediced tomatoes.
15 oz. can chili with beans14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained3 green onions, sliced thin, white and green part bothCilantro to taste8 oz. cream cheese, softenedGenerous cup corn chips, finely crushed8 oz. Taco or Mexican blend shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 375. Spray an 8-inch baking pan or small ovenproof casserole. Stir together chili, tomatoes, onions and cilantro.Spread cream cheese in bottom of baking dish. Top with a layer ofchili mixture. Sprinkle top with the corn chips and cheese. Bake untilcheese melts and bubbles a bit, about 15 minutes. Serve with cornchips or veggies.

A publication of
April 22 questionNow that the U.S. is “normal-
izing” relations with Cuba, andhas removed it from the list ofstate sponsors of terrorism, howwill this benefit or hurt the U.S.?Would you be more or less likelyto visit Cuba? Why or why not?
“There are many thingsabout our history with theCommunist Cuban govern-ment, that are not America’sproudest moments. That beingsaid, I see absolutely no bene-fit to the U.S. in recognizingCuba, as long as it is underCastro. If the former residents,through Congress, requestnormalization, I might changemy mind.
“Our currently failed for-eign policies certainly do notgain any strength in our de-mands for human rights.Strange, to me, is how we keptthe sanctions on South Africauntil they failed internally, butwe seem desperate to not dothe same to terrorist nationslike Iran and Cuba.
“BTW I found the beachesat Guantanamo Bay to be some
of the most beautiful in theworld on numerous occasions.Probably, Marriott could builda five star resort there in placeof the Taliban Towers Resort.I’m still waiting to go to theHilton that I was sure would bebuilt on Nha Trang’s beach.”
D.B.
“I’ve known many peoplethat have been able to go toCuba under the guise of artis-tic or university/academic-sponsored trips, so although itwas off limits to the casual U.S.
citizen there were ways totravel there.
“I think Cuba will benefit interms of tourism dollars and asfor the U.S. it could become apopular destination for vaca-tions and leisure.
“The importance of thisthawing is that the Cuban peo-ple reap some type of benefitboth in terms of economic andsocietal. I believe they havebeen harmed the most by theirsystem of government and ourcutting of ties.”
“Although I was in highschool during the Reagan years,I never felt that Cuba was in anyway a threat to the UnitedStates. I am surprised it tookthis long for the U.S. to normal-ize relations with them.”
C.S.
“Normalizing relations withCuba is the first and only thingObama has done during hisreign that finally makes com-plete sense. It’s about time.Whether this change will be areal benefit to the USA is yet tobe seen, but it will absolutely bea significant benefit to the Cu-
ban people. The tourism dollarsalone flooding into their econo-my will be well received andcreate a start toward reliving anoticeable portion of the suffer-ing endured daily by the popu-lace.
“Yes, it remains a Commu-nist society and the trickledown to the common folk fromthe new-found largesse may beslow, but people’s lives shouldstart to improve. Other tradedeals and investment fromAmerican companies will helpas well. As far as benefiting theUSA, one can hope that moreAmericans gaining a first-handview into the myriad failuresinherent in a Communist soci-ety, and by close extensionsocialism, will result in aground swell arising to turnsharply away from the social-ism path down which Obamahas steered our country.
“I support this change inrelationship between our twocountries and look forward tosomeday visiting our Carib-bean neighbor.”
M.J.F.
“It was time to re-establishrelations with Cuba. I fearhowever that it could emulatethe flow of illegal aliens thathas been going on from Mex-ico. The U.S. is not equipped tofinancially handle any more ofthat.
“I have no desire to visitCuba. It could have been anoth-er Las Vegas or Miami Beach,but for Castro’s lack of vision.Communism has failed thereand in North Korea. Go Fig-ure!”
T.D.T.
“Why not visit Cuba? “Perhaps we can visit one of
the prisons for political prison-ers or better yet one of theICBM bases they were going touse to send nuclear bombs tothe US. But first let's find oneof those ‘top notch’ doctorsBruce Healey talks about.Maybe we can get him a braintransplant, since he believeswe should open trade to theonly country that was receiv-ing Russian missiles to destroythe U.S.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWas Reds manager Bryan Priceright about what he said aboutmedia coverage hurting histeam? What is the media’s rolein covering local sports fran-chises?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.
The signs of growth arehard to miss in our city. Newresidential construction isoccurring in every neigh-borhood, with 131 new homesvalued at more than $52 mil-lion built in the last five years.
New businesses are locat-ing in Madeira as well, andbusiness tax revenues are up.
Now, two new restaurantsare being planned in the heartof the city, where investorswill pump in money to replaceold structures with entertain-ment venues that extend lifeinto the evening and on week-ends. They would join A Tavo-la, a trendy Over-the-Rhinerestaurant that picked Madei-ra last year for its secondlocation.
Since December, the cityreceived 11 proposals to locatenew businesses in the historic
Madeira TrainDepot, a city-owned struc-ture that hasbeen unde-rused since afire in 2013closed a pop-ular restau-rant there.
My wifeand I and agroup of in-
vestors offered one of thoseproposals, a barbecue restau-rant that would also serve as acommunity gathering place,which will be considered bythe Madeira City Council aspart of its process to secure apermanent tenant there. Adecision is expected by June.
Our idea is to establish arestaurant that is open dailyand into the evening and
weekends and that will be-come a destination. We willconnect the Depot to existingmerchants through crosspromotion and to the MadeiraFarmers’ Market, which willbe entering its sixth outdoorseason in May. We alreadyhave a tentative agreementwith the Market to work to-gether on several promotion-al, educational and program-ming activities that will ex-tend the vibrancy into theevening. (Our initial proposalis on the City of Madeira website.)
Of course, we think ourproposal is the best one forthe Madeira Train Depot,marrying railroads and barbe-cue just as they were tiedwhen the Depot was built in1871. City leaders will need touse their best judgment, and
we commend the Council fortrying to create a process tomake the best decision on theuse of this unique propertyand the adjacent historichomes.
That decision, and a myriadof others needed to encourageand guide growth, are moreimportant now than ever forMadeira to be sure thatgrowth serves residents andtaxpayers best.
For instance, the decisionto tear down homes needs tobalance between respectinghistorical integrity and seek-ing the highest-and-best useof land that has become in-creasingly more desirable.That ongoing debate is notover.
Our location, our top-levelschool system, our quaintdowntown, and other ameni-
ties are drawing interest. Justlast November, Ohio Maga-zine featured Madeira as oneof its Best Hometowns of2014-2015.
To continue that success,city leaders cannot be compla-cent and make decisions forexpediency, convenience orsimply because this is the wayit has always been done.
The future for our townlooks bright, and we are eagerto see the changes now thatwill help Madeira move suc-cessfully into its next chapter.
Andrew Benson is a resident ofMadeira and the lead on a proposalto locate a barbecue restaurant inthe Madeira Train Depot. He holds amaster’s degree in public admini-stration from Harvard University,where he studied economic andcommunity development of cities.
Madeira on verge of new chapter in growth

Be warned: This missivemay contain disturbing content,which could wreck your day.Your day will be difficultenough without the rant of an
elderly writerwho, for all youknow, may belosing it and ison his way out;or, he is justplaying you.
Did youknow: Mostcities are ban-ning your chil-dren fromsledding on the
village green, or on any otherproperty that you collectivelyown. They have good reason;when your Johnny dies, afterrunning his sled into a tree at40 miles per hour, you sue thecity (that’s us) and if the lawyeryou hired is good, you collect atidy sum for the negligence ofyour child. You should havetaught him to roll off his sledbefore hitting something; so, itis really you who are negligent.
Many decades ago, in a
small county seat, far, far away,there was what looked to be acastle, high on a steep hillside.It was built of large blocks ofbrown stone, with turrets andeverything a respectable castlewould need, including a tallsmokestack that belched blacksmoke to heat the castle. I at-
tended first grade there.When snow fell, students
would bring their sleds toschool and at recess they wouldsled down a very high hill witha 100-yard slope of about 45degrees, which joined a longflat surface which wasn’t al-ways long enough for the sleds
to stop. There was a road at theend of the slide; sometimes, asled would be seen shootinginto the road.
The sleds were the Amer-ican Flyer style. There wereoften two or three brave chil-dren per sled (once, I saw four);there was at least one injury
each recess; these were usuallybruises and scrapes. There wasno supervision; teachers werepreparing for the next period.
No one ever went to thehospital or even a doctor’s of-fice. Back in the day, you didn’tgo to the hospital unless youwere dying or visiting a dyingrelative. The scrapes werenever bandaged, just washed,and it was back to class. To myknowledge, there were neverany serious injuries or eveninfections. No one missed a dayof school unless they had themeasles, mumps or chickenpox, and everyone experiencedthose. No one died!
Recently we have read aboutparents who are now on someform of “probation” by familyservices for allowing theirchildren to walk to school, andto local parks and businesses.Good grief…that was my child-hood. We didn’t have schoolbuses; we walked or rode ourbikes to school.
I do not understand the de-gree of cowardice in societytoday.
A downhill slope toward nation of cowards

According to James Baker, attempts to ban sled riding on public property is an example of America’s cowardice.
