Terrace Park will get somehelp fixing its roads this year.

The village has been notifiedit will receive a $75,000 grantfrom Hamilton County’s Muni-cipal Road Fund to repair ElmAvenue, between Wooster Pikeand the tunnel, on the westernedge of the community, Coun-cilman Lee Cole announced re-cently.

“We have not received thefunds yet, but we were assuredthey will be coming,” he said.

Gerald Hayhow, TerracePark’s police chief and streetcommissioner, said they ap-

plied for $89,000, which wouldhave completed the entire sec-tion of Elm Avenue, betweenWooster Pike and the swimclubentranceonStumpsLane, abouta 0.2-mile section.

“With the fundingwehave…we maybe scale it back to thetunnel where the real problemis,” he said.

“This section of road hasbeen in disrepair for manyyears because of obvious waterproblems underneath.”

Hayhow said he’d work withthe village’s engineering con-sultants to determine the bestway to cover the road repaircosts with the grant money.

The section of Elm Avenue

would include a brand new roadbase after finding out what wa-ter source is causing the persis-tent deterioration problems.

“It could be a spring, it couldbe a broken pipe,” he said. “Wewill match the project to theavailable money.”

Also, Hayhow said there issome rippling by the swim clubbridge, and that section couldlikely be replaced for about$5,000.

There is no timeline set forconstruction on Elm Avenue.

Terrace Park also received a$99,000 grant from the samecounty fund to repave its 0.3-mile section of IndianHill Roadin 2012.

Mariemont conserving road salt

It’s been a brutal winter sofar, and Mariemont, like manyothercommunities, is changingits game plan for dealing withsnow.

With a little more than amonth left until spring, the vil-lage is trying to conserve its re-maining road salt supply.

“Salt (supply) is on the lowend,”Maintenance Superinten-dent JohnScherpenberg said ata recent council meeting.

Mariemonthasabout 55 tonsleft in its storage shed, whichScherpenberg said is enough tohandle two more storms, andanother 63 tons of salt on itscontract for the year.

Village maintenance work-ersarebeingconservativewiththeremainingsalt supplyand ifthere is another snowfallScherpenberg they’d plow ev-erythingfirstandthentreat theroads with salt, with prioritiesbeing hills, curves and aroundthe schools.

Hamilton County handlesseveral of the main roadsthrough the village includingWooster Pike and PlainvilleRoad.

The salt supply situation isso dire for some parts of thestate the Ohio Department ofTransportation (ODOT) maycome to the rescue. The agencyrecently announced it has is-sued a request for bids to buymore road salt it will makeavailable at no cost to local

communities facing seriousshortfalls.

“ODOT is offering salt to ev-eryone … but right now thestipulation is you have to pay itback next year,” Scherpenbergsaid. “We don’t know what(prices are) going to be nextyear,butweknowthey’regoingto go up.”

Mariemont paid close to $57per ton this year, but has paidnearly $100 per ton in the past.

Councilman Dennis Wolternoted this is the “first reallybad winter since the new stor-age building went up” severalyears ago. That does help con-serve any remaining road saltfor future winters, Scherpen-berg said.

So far this winter, Marie-mont has used about 200 tons ofsalt, roughly 50 more tons thanit typically uses in an averagewinter.

While the state no long-er mandates Ohio schoolsoffer full-day kindergar-ten — a requirement re-pealed three years ago —theMariemontCitySchoolDistrict kept the programin place.

Now in its fourth year,parents, teachers andschool administrators areseeing positive resultssince the switch to full-daykindergarten.

“I think the full day ac-tually gives them a slowerpace inwhich to learn, andnot everyone learns at thesame pace,” said AprilStimson, a parent withthree children at TerracePark Elementary.

Her daughter, now infourth grade, was part ofthelastclasstoattendhalf-day kindergarten in thedistrict. And Stimson said

she is definitely seeing thebenefits of the full-dayprogram with her otherchildren, onewho is in kin-dergarten and one in firstgrade.

“I think they’re readingsooner, I think their mathskills are sharper,” shesaid. “I think technologyhas also changed since afew years ago, but I do seea difference in terms ofhow quickly they pick upinformationandhangontoit.”

TheMariemont schoolsweren’t the first local dis-trict to offer full-day-onlykindergarten—CincinnatiPublic Schools expandedtheir program to all ele-mentary schools in1998—but many southwest Ohiodistricts still do not offer afull-day program, includ-ing Forest Hills, Lakota,Milford, Indian Hill andFairfield schools.

This year, 87 percent of

the 813 traditional publicand charter schools of-fered a full-day option forkindergarten.Bycompari-son, only 62 percent of the788 schools in 2011 exclu-sively offered full-daykin-dergarten.

For the Mariemontschools,makingtheswitch

wasn’t easy.“It was a big deal here

because we had the tradi-tionofahalf-day,”saidTer-race Park ElementaryPrincipal Linda Lee.“Some people were a littlewary of it, and some of thefears were, can (the kin-dergarteners) handle it?But the benefits far out-weigh the drawbacks, andthe kids really adjustedwonderfully.”

Before the full-daymandate was in place,Ma-

riemont school officialswere conducting commu-nity outreach meetings todetermine what residentsand parents wanted fromthe district and one of thetop priorities was a full-day kindergarten pro-gram, Lee said.

Those meetings oc-curred around the sametimeofficialswere lookingat a major renovation ofseveral school buildings.Voters approved that plan,a bond issue combined

with an operating levy, in2010.

“There was a loudmes-sage from the communitythat theyvalued that and itwas something we shouldlookatwhenpossible,”Leesaid of the full-day pro-gram.

Lee said the school dis-trict started working on aplan for a full-day pro-gram almost a year beforeits implementation, whichwas the 2010-2011 schoolyear.

Putting together a full-day program was a chal-lenge at first, said JaneConcannon, a TerracePark Elementary teacherwho has spent most of her17 years with the Marie-mont schools teaching kin-dergarten.

“Going to full-day, wewere certainly given thegift of more time. I taughthalf-day for many years,and it was fine and I loveddoing it, but there is somuch that is requiredthese days of the children,and certainly of the teach-ers, too.”

It’s that extra timewiththe students Concannonsaid makes a real differ-ence in how prepared kin-dergarteners are for firstgrade.

There’s more time todelve into scienceor socialstudies and entire morn-ings can be devoted toreading, writing or pho-nics.

Knowing how well astudent isprogressingaca-demicallywillbeanimpor-tant part of future educa-tion goals. Starting thisyear, third-graders inOhiomust meet certain scoreson their reading proficien-cy tests or face the pros-pect of repeating thegrade. This high-stakesstate mandate has put apremium on early educa-tion in the state.

Poet Carl Sandburgcalled shape-notehymnsa“dark andmoving poetry”infused with “occasionaljubilation.”

Admission is free.SacredHarpisapartic-

ipatory form of singing asopposed to a performanceand is not accompaniedbymusical instruments- in-cluding harps.

It’s part of the shape-note tradition in whichnotes on a musical scaleare drawn with differentshapes designed to makethe music easier for sing-ers to learn.

Many shape-note sing-ers sing from a bookcalled “TheSacredHarp.”

“This annual (singingconvention) rotates

among three Ohio citiesand attracts singers fromthroughout the Midwestand South,” said JohnBealle of Clifton, one ofthe “core singers” of Cin-cinnati Sacred Harp. He’sbeen singing SacredHarpmusic for 40 years.

“Although listeners arewelcome, Sacred Harpsingers come primarily toparticipate,” Bealle said.

“Come to a singing andyou’ll be handed a bookand directed to the tradi-tional ‘hollow square,’where the four parts sitfacing in.

“Seized by the physicalvigorof thesingingandbythe emotionally confron-

tive poetry, Sacred Harpsingersenjoyadeepmusi-cal and spiritual experi-ence,” Bealle said.

Bealle said SacredHarp singing is religiousfolk music that traces itsroots to the singingschools of colonial Ameri-ca.

“With the aim of im-proving music in thechurches, singing mas-ters taught note readingusing books of religious,patriotic and popular po-etry set tomusicarrangedfor congregational sing-ing,” Bealle said.

“Around1800, a systemof shape notes was devel-oped to aid in teaching -with each note of the scaleassigned a correspondingshape for the note head.

“The music followedsettlers southward, even-tually losing its appeal ev-erywhere except thesoutheasternU.S.,” Beallesaid.

“The feature film ‘ColdMountain’ included twosongs and brought a waveof new converts eager toexperience traditionalsinging.”

The Stingers wasted littletimeearninga shareof the spot-light at the annual meet Feb. 14.The 200-yard medley relayteam set a meet record with atime of 1:35.70 in the first eventof the day and senior PanosSkoufalos and sophomore Mat-thew Marquardt added individ-ual victories as Seven Hills fin-ished third in the team stand-ings – easily the highest inschool history according tofirst-year coach Allie Henges,who refused to take any creditfor the performance.

“I didn’t do anything,” theformer Purcell Marian swim-mer said. “It’s more managingfor me. It’s the kids showing upevery day and working theirbutts off.”

Skoufalos finished first inthe 50 freestyle and second toMarquardt in the 100 back-stroke, and both swam with ju-nior Pearce Kieser and fresh-man Jason Guo on the 200 med-ley relay teamatMiamiUniver-sity’sCorwinM.NixonAquaticsCenter.

“We’ve had one or two swim-mers go to state in the past, butwe’ve never had this many atone time,” said Skoufalos, whodidn’t swim in high school at allas a freshman and forMason asa sophomore before sitting outlast season after transferring toSevenHills. “Thisyear,wewerein position to have this amazingteam for the first time in a longtime.”

Seven Hills served noticethat thismight be a special yearbyfinishingfourthat theannualSouthwest Classic in mid-Janu-ary, just ahead of fifth-placeWyoming.

“They weren’t even on ourradar before the Classic,” Cow-boys coach David Elliott said.

The Stingers handed Wyo-ming another disappointmenton Friday. Marquardt, Kieserand Skoufalos joined sopho-more Tigar Cyr on the SevenHills 400 free relay team, andSkoufalos came from third tosecond on the anchor leg of themeet’s last event to help theStingers edge Wyoming, cost-ing the Cowboys the districtchampionship.

MARIEMONT — Gamers,take heart. A life off the couchawaits.

Just ask Mariemont HighSchool senior Terry Sparks

“I used to be kind ofchunky,” the now-chiseled 6-foot-3Sparkssaid. “Iwas lazy. Ijust played video games all thetime. In about sixth grade mydad made me get up and dosomething.”

Thatsomethinghappenedtomirror his video game passion.Basketball.WhereSparksoncecontrolled an electronic TracyMcGrady, he started control-ling himself, playing hours at atime on the hoop in his grand-parents’ driveway.

“Once I picked it up, Icouldn’t put the ball down,” hesaid. “I’d always be out there.There’ssomuchI likeabout it, Ican’t get away from it.”

Mariemont head coachSteve Ellis doesn’t want hissenior star getting away anytime soon.

“It’s bittersweet to see himat his point,” Ellis said. “He’sonly got a few games with usleft. It’s his leadership. He’smatured so much. He can playbasically any position and hedoes it all pretty well.

“He leads the league in re-bounds and in steals, whichisn’t something you see all thetime, but it shows you howver-satile he is.He’s a badmatchupfor another team. Any collegewho gets him gets the scoring,but they get everything elsethat comes with it, which Ithink is really valuable.”

Sparks pops up all over theCHLleaderboard.He’s third inthe league in scoring (17.5points per game), second in re-bounding (11..2), first in steals(2.6) and fourth in assists (3.2).

Ellis said a sequence duringa 51-36 home win against Nor-wood Feb. 11 summed upSparks’ gamealmost perfectly.

Norwood worked the ballinto the post and appeared tohave a layup before Sparkscame across the lane, blockedthe shot and avoided body con-tact for a foul. He then trackeddown the loose ball, drove it upcourt, lookedoff twodefendersand sank a pull-up jump shotfrom the free throw line.

“That’s just him,” Ellis said.

“Post, pointguard,doing it all. Ican’t tell you how proud andhappy I am for him. He’s shothundredsof thosebyhimself inthe off season. Hundreds, justso he’s ready for that kind ofmoment when it counts.”

Sparks - who would like tostudy some form of medicine -is still decidingwhere to attend

college next year, hoping for ascholarship offer.

The Warriors have enduredan up-and-down season - Ma-riemont owned a 10-11 recordheading into the final regularseason game Feb. 14 at homeagainst Taylor - but looked for-ward to meeting CHL rivalReading in the first round of

the sectional tournament Feb.25.

“We lost to them by one attheir place (41-40, Dec.10),” El-lis said. “But we beat them by12atours (61-49Jan. 24). I thinkit’s a good matchup for us, agood chance to win the gameand get to the sectional finalsfor the second year in a row.”

Sparks ignites life off sofa,onto basketball court

HYDE PARK — Normally inFebruary, the Withrow HighSchool boys basketball team isnear the top of the CincinnatiMetro Athletic Conferencestandings and gearing up forthe city tournament.

This year, the Tigers are tal-ented enough to make anotherrun, but have struggled to be onthe samepage.After threeverysuccessful seasons, Withrowhas hovered around .500. Someof the issues have been on thecourt; some off.

“They’ve just been selfish,”coach Tyrone Gibert said. “No-bodywants toplay teambasket-ball. I’m not used to this.”

Gibert’s Tigers had 56 total

wins the threepreviousseasonsand featured players like Flori-da State’s Aaron Thomas andWestVirginia’sDevinWilliams.

This year’s squad features 6-foot-4 DeJuan Jones, who aver-ages 20 points per game andleads the league in field goalpercentage at over 64 percent.Healsohasa6-foot-7promisingjunior with Lamont West. Bothhave had their moments, butboth have had their clasheswith the coach.

At one point, Jones was sus-pended for eight games.

“I’ve been doing this for awhile,” Gibert said. “You’ve gotto let them know you can do itwithout them.”

Jones has junior college of-fers and West averages around11 points and six rebounds per

contest.Gibertwould like toseethe skinny junior grabmore re-bounds as the team leader hasbeen Landon-Brown Jacksonfrom the football team .

“If they play and hustle theycan beat anybody,” Gibert said.“Wecanmakeaseriousrun.Ev-erybody knows that.”

If not, Gibert is ready to re-stockandrebuild for thefuture.His youngest contributor thisseason has been sophomoreMark Cruz, who has led theteam in three-point shooting.He also has several ninth-grad-ers on the junior varsity that’she had an eye on.

“My freshman class isgood,” Gibert said. “I’ll proba-bly have a lot of sophomores onvarsity and a few juniors.”

Christian Hawkins, Davon

Jorden andBrandon Powell areall Tigers of the futurewhowillsport the orange next seasonentering theEasternCincinnatiConference.

“They’re coachable,” Gibertsaid. “They go to class and dothings the right way.”

The top Tiger is looking for-ward to moving out of theCMACandinto theECCwithhisyouth movement.

“Those are the type of teamswe’ll have to beat in the tourna-ment so that helps us,” Givbertsaid. “In our league there’s a lotof running and jumping and nota lot of structure.”

TheTigers can run and jumpwith anyone, but it usuallytakes structure to advance.Withrow’s opener is againstNorthwest Feb. 22. A win will

put them against the WalnutHills/Colerain victor.

As the 2014 election ap-proaches, President Obama istrying to shift the discussionfrom the Affordable Care Actto inequality of income.

The problem is that much ofthe debate is focused on thewrong things.

Inequality is inevitable in afree enterprise system becausepeople have different talents,ambitions and work ethics.What should we do about that?

If I choose to work 40 hoursa week and you choose to work20, and I make $50,000 a yearand youmake $25,000, is itunfair I make more money? Isit unfair you have more leisuretime?

Should the governmentequalize our income by givingyou some of mymoney? Shouldit equalize our leisure bymak-

ing you dosome of myhouseholdchores?

When welook at inequal-ity in a broadersense, what’smore impor-tant, inequalityof income orthe standard ofliving of the

poor?Doubling everyone’s income

would increase the standard ofliving of the poor but also in-crease inequality of income.Would you oppose that?

The point is that our pri-mary goal should be to in-crease the standard of living ofthe poor. And there is a strongcorrelation between a higher

standard of living for the poorandmore economic freedom,meaning lower taxes, protec-tion of property rights, lessregulation and wealth redistri-bution, and fewer trade barri-ers. For the results of a 30-yearstudy by the Fraser Institute,see: http://tiny.cc/eetk9w.

That doesn’t mean weshouldn’t oppose the causes ofinequality we can do somethingabout, such as governmentfavors to politically-connectedbusinesses and groups. But inthat case, we are opposingfavoritism, not inequality.

It also doesn’t mean weshould ignore the conse-quences of inequality we cando something about. For ex-ample, if the rich have unequalpolitical influence, instead ofrestricting their political

speech through campaign fi-nance laws, why not reducegovernment meddling in ourlives so there are less govern-ment policy decisions to influ-ence?

In any event, in most cases,we’re really concerned aboutinequality of opportunity, notinequality of income. And pro-viding kids with a good educa-tion is critical to giving themequality of opportunity and afair chance in life.

Ironically, those who claimthat inequality of income is ourbiggest problem often are thesame people who oppose edu-cation reform and instead justwant to increase educationspending.

We’ve tried that, and ithasn’t worked. Over the 50-year period ending in 2007,

per-pupil spending adjusted forinflation more than quadrupledto $12,463 per year with little toshow for it.

Maybe it’s time to try some-thing new, such as vouchersparents can use to pay for pri-vate schooling for childrenstuck in failing public schools.

This won’t reduce per-pupilspending in public schoolsbecause you can educate astudent with a voucher for lessthan it costs to educate thesame student in a publicschool.

Here’s the point. Instead ofcomplaining about inequalityof income, why don’t we reduceinequality of opportunitywhere we can?

Jack Painter is a corporate attorneyin Cincinnati.

Let’s reduce the inequality of opportunity

JackPainterCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionColorado and Washington

have legalized retail sale of mari-juana. Is this a good idea? ShouldOhio follow suit? Why or whynot?

“It would probably be a goodidea to legalizemarijuana in thelong run. All Cheech and Chongjokesaside, it isalreadyillegallya major cash crop in Kentucky.

However, policies wouldhave to be in place to keep it outof hands of minors, away fromthe unhealthy addicts, and easi-er to obtain for chemotherapypatients.”

TRog

“Yes. But it won't happenhere anytime soon. Enforcingthe laws against use and posses-sion of marijuana costs the tax-payersmillions of dollars everyyear, and I believe that posses-sion of small amounts of mari-juana is harmless to the generalpublic.

“Having that on one's recordwill seriously impede one's fu-ture, whether it is applying forfinancialaid togotocollege, try-ing to obtain certain kinds of fi-nances, and prohibiting specifictypes of employment.

“According to Harvard drugeconomist Jeffrey Miron: ‘$8.7billion in savings to our govern-ment would result from legal-ization of marijuana.’ This isjust savings from trying to en-force the prohibition.

“It doesn't include the poten-tial income from taxes, employ-ment opportunities for retail es-

tablishments, and by-productsthat could be used throughoutour industrial businesses.Frankly, we need the money.

“Aside from that, a recent ar-ticle (October, 2013) by theHuf-fington Post states that 58 per-cent of theAmerican people arein favor of allowing the plant tobe legal. No one has ever diedfrom a marijuana overdose.About 40 percent of Americansadmit to having tried it, includ-ing more than one president ofthe United States.

“We have been mislead bythe ‘addictive properties’ of thedrug.Marijuana leads to depen-dence in around 9-10 percent ofadult users. Cocaine hooksabout 20 percent of its users,and heroin gets 25 percent of itsusers addicted.

“Theworstculprit is tobacco,with 30 percent of its users be-coming addicted. The medicaluses of marijuana are alreadywell-known and perhaps that isa solid first step that could berealized in Ohio.”

D.P.

“It always amazes me thatmanyof thosewho supportmar-ijuana being legalized areagainst cigarettes beingsmoked! That aside, this issuereally comes down to analysis.

“Some would say that mari-juana is considered a gatewaydrug: one that is a first step intoa world of harder, more impact-ful drugs, like cocaine, crack,and heroin, as if those partici-pating will continue non-stopdown a path seeking the nexthigh.

“Make no mistake, there arethose tendencies in some. Oth-ers would say that it is nothingmore than drug war propagan-da.

“One of the greatest thingsabout this country is the abilityto have different laws and be-haviors in different states aspart of this great American ex-periment.

“With twostatesalready test-ing this ground, and severalmoredoing so by ignoringpot ingeneral, statistical analysis willdetermine if those in societywill: take to the option to smokein similar numbers to those cur-rently participating illegally, orinwildabandondramatically in-crease the number of ‘ne'r dowell potheads.’

“Additionally, we will see ifthe drug truly acts as a gatewayand these two states see steadyincreases inusageofother illicitdrugs.

“The beauty of this for Ohio-

ans is the ability to sit back andwatch the results.

“Those desiring a more par-ticipatory role can always booka flight! Just remember to packsnacks...”

C.T.

“What a can of worms!Mari-juana in any form, for any pur-pose, medical or recreational, isillegal according to federal law.However, the man currently inthe White House, our nation’schief executive officer, has tak-en it entirelyuponhimself tode-terminejustwhat lawshewill orwill not execute.

“This is in spite of this oathwhich he has willingly and vol-untarily taken twice: ‘I do sol-emnly swear (or affirm) that Iwill faithfullyexecute theofficeof president of the UnitedStates, andwill to the best ofmyability,preserve,protectandde-fend the Constitution of theUnited States.’

“That oath is the rock-bottomfoundational Constitutional re-quirement EVERY presidenthas sworn to do, from GeorgeWashington to Barack Obama.Faithfully executing the officeof president includes enforcingall laws!

“We now have a presidentwho deliberately violates histwice-sworn oath of officewhich in turn emboldens abunchofknuckleheads insever-al states to ‘legalize’ an illegalsubstance with certain restric-tions of their own, which theyclaim they will enforce!

“If these people have taken itupon themselves to knowinglyviolate federal law, are we real-ly supposed toexpect themtobehonorable upstanding law-abid-ing citizens?

“We Americans of everystripeand ineverystatearenow

supposed tosupportandrespectlaw-breakers in multiple stateswho are counting on the presi-dent of theUnited States to con-tinue toviolatehisoath.Further,they expect us to believe thatthey will faithfully enforce therestrictions they have placedupon the growing, distributionand sale of marijuana withintheir states.

“Let me see if I’ve got thisstraight; you recklessly violatefederal lawbutweare tobelievethat you will faithfully enforceyour illegal law. Talk aboutmind-boggling.

“Here’s a thought to tossaround inyourmind: ‘I amares-ident of Colorado and I ammak-ing a claim on my Obama-Carefor my marijuana addiction be-cause it was a pre-existing con-dition. I expect my doctor towrite prescriptions formarijua-na to assist me with controllingmy addiction and I expect Med-ic-Aid to pay all of those costs.’Duh…

“I’ll close this diatribe with asomewhat rhetorical question:What additional laws will ourleaders choose to ignore orbreak (besides those already atthis stage such as immigra-tion)?”

R.V.“Sure, tax it andusemoney to

educatepublicondangersof thestrong drugs especially herein.

“Medical use has proven tobe a relief for debilitating pain.This is especially needed for el-derly who have exhausted pills.Also marijuana is cheaper thanRx pills in some cases.”

Walter

“Yes, I think it would be agreat idea for Ohio to legalizethe recreational use of marijua-na. Once other states start torealize the benefits of legaliza-tion,whichwill far outweigh thedetriments, theywill followsuit.

“Over the years the mythsand propaganda about marijua-na have largely been provenfalse. It's no more of a gatewaydrug than alcohol (alcohol wasthefirstdrugI tried)and it is farless hazardous to your healththan alcohol.

“Making it legal will notmake it more accessible to kidsand more kids will not start us-ing it.

“In The Netherlands, wherepot is decriminalized and toler-ated, the teenage pot use rate isamong the lowest in thewesternworld.

“Saying that everyone is go-ing to be stoned if marijuana islegalized is ridiculous. If heroin

were legalized would you rushout and try it? I know Iwouldn't.

“People that want to smokemarijuana will, those that don't,won't. Itwillbenodifferent thanit is now except the smokerswon't be hiding in their base-ments.”

J.S.K.

“The opium dens of the 19th

century did not turn out to be asharmless as everyone thought,nor did the ‘harmless’ LSD ex-perimentation of the 1960s.

“Ohio should not follow suitin marijuana legalization be-cause it is against the entirepremise of anti-drug, smartchoices campaigns like Just SayNo. It teaches ‘Just SayNo…Ex-cept…’

“If marijuana is to be usedfor medical purposes, it shouldbe by doctor’s prescriptiononly.”

L.B.

“Yes, I think we should allowit, after all if someone wants tosmoke they will and while it islegalwecanregulateandtaxtheproduct.”

P.R.

“Marijuana is a by govern-ment definition a drug. By mymoral standards, I don't thinkwe should legalize it.

“There will always be an ille-gal side to it, just like there iswithmoonshinewhich is now le-gal to produce under govern-ment standards. I believe thateveryone has a choice to do‘right’ or ‘wrong.’ Its up to themtodecide. Samegoes forourpol-iticians and leaders. Think of allthe benefits and consequencesbefore you act.”

R.F.

“If we want more highwayaccidents like those caused bydriving with illegal alcohol lev-els by all means do it!”

T.J.

“Hasn't this been the ques-tion for going on seven decadesat least? Yes, Ohio should legal-ize marijuana. Let people use itformedical purposes and recre-ation.

“Let's benefit from the taxeson it.Let's stoppunishingpeoplefor growing it. Let's stop payingfor people to be in jail for grow-ing it, selling it and using it.

“Let's grow up and move onto more important issues in thiscountry like poverty and vio-lence. Peoplewill use itwhetherit's legal or not.”

My friend, CharleneCastle, known as thedumplin’ queen aroundhere, is a Southern girlwho makes her dump-lings with soft, self-rising flour and hot

water. Shedoesn’tuse mea-suringcups; sheuses spe-cial bowlslike hermom. Realheirloomcooking.“Rollthem out,

put them in the chickenand broth. They’llthicken it,” she said.

I make dumplings,too, but mine are thekind you scoop up andplop on top of soup orstew. Fun to make.Granddaughter Eva,almost 6, is pretty goodat making these dump-lings. It won’t be longbefore I get her littlesis, Emerson, up on thestool to help, as well.

No-peek herbeddumplings

First, have yoursoup, stew or evencanned broth boiling. Ilike to put these on topof chicken soup. Thesecret to fluffy dump-lings? Don’t peek!

1 cup all-purpose flour,spooned lightly into cupand leveled off

11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste

Palmful fresh mincedparsley (optional)

1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded

3 tablespoons butter

Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt togeth-er. Add parsley. Make awell in center. Heatmilk with butter untilbutter melts. Pour intowell and mix. Doughwill look sort of shaggy.Add a bit more milk, ifnecessary. Don’t overmix. Sometimes there’sa bit of dry mixture inthe bottom of the bowl.Just leave it. Turn heatdown on soup to sim-mer. Use an ice creamscoop sprayed withcooking spray to dropdumplings carefully ontop of liquid, leavingspace in between forexpansion. Put lid on.No peeking! Simmeranywhere from 8 to 10minutes, or until larg-est dumpling is done:cut in half to test.Dumpling will becooked through and notsoggy in middle. Dump-lings expand to doubleor even triple. Depend-ing upon size, you’ll geteight or more.

Quick beefstroganoff

I only know her byher first name, Sherry.We almost collided atthe store. Sherry wasbuying ingredients forthis recipe and when Itold her it sounded sogood, she gave me hercopy! “I have anotherat home,” she said. Ifollowed her recipepretty close, with a fewadaptations. Worthsharing!

1pound flank steakOlive oil1 cup chopped onion

1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoonmincedgarlic (optional)

Salt and pepper to tasteHot paprika or a littlecayenne, to taste

6-8 oz. fresh exoticmushrooms or regularmushrooms, sliced

11⁄2 cups beef broth1 tablespoon plus 2teaspoons flour

1⁄3 cup sour cream plus morefor garnish

Several green onions, slicedNice pat of butter, about atablespoon or so

Cooked noodles

Slice beef acrossgrain 1⁄4-inch widestrips, then cut strips inhalf. Film bottom ofpan with oil and heat tomedium high. Add beefand cook until browned,about 5 minutes. Re-move and add onion,garlic, seasonings andmushrooms to pan andcook until mushroomsare tender, adding a bitmore oil if necessary.Reduce heat to medi-um. Mix 1⁄4 cup beefbroth with flour tomake a paste. Add topan along with beef,stirring well. Stir in 1-1⁄4cups broth, cover andcook until sauce thick-ens. Adjust seasonings.Stir in sour cream,green onions and but-ter. Serve over noodlesand pass sour cream.

Can you help?Thriftway’s tortellini

salad. Western Hillsreader Mark Wigger-shaus would like tohave this recipe orsomething similar. “Ithad an earthy taste andwas very good,” Marksaid.

Like Frisch’s or

Jock’s batter for deep-fried fish. Reader TomOhmer would love tohave a similar recipe.

Blue Ash Chili’s co-leslaw.

Reader Mike R. said:“Everywhere I go, Inever find two coles-laws alike. Everyone

has his or her own tasteand ingredients. In mypersonal opinion, BlueAsh Chili in has the bestcoleslaw, creamy andsweet. Does anyonehave a recipe for thisversion of slaw?”

Motor vehicle repairscontinue to top the list ofconsumer complaintsreceived by the OhioAttorney General. Inmost cases, that office isvery limited in its abilityto help solve the consum-er problems.

That’s why Ohio StateSen. Joe Uecker (R-Mi-ami Township) has in-troduced legislation thatwould require mechanicrepair facilities to belicensed. Right now thereare more than 4,000 suchrepair shops operatingwithout any oversight.Only body repair shopsare currently licensed inOhio.

“This bill will not onlylevel the playing field, itwill also protect consum-ers by ensuring busi-nesses have proper liabil-ity insurance should

somethinghappen totheir vehi-cle while atthe repairshop,”Ueckersaid.

Thestate li-censingagency

would also help resolvecomplaints filed by vehi-cle owners, such as Kim-berly Thorpe of LibertyTownship. She was toldshe needed a new enginefor her 2004 ChryslerSebring. So, she took it toa repair shop where, shesaid, it sat for more thana year.

Thorpe eventually tookthe vehicle to a dealer-ship and was told someparts were missing. Inaddition, she was told a

new engine would cost$5,500 to $6,000 – yet shehad already spent morethan two-thirds thatamount with that firstrepair shop.

Thorpe says she gavethat first shop owner onemore chance to fix thevehicle, but she never gother engine. Instead shehas parts in the back seatand the trunk of her vehi-cle, but no engine underthe hood.

Angel Hale-Frater, ofBlue Ash, is also upsetwith the dealership towhich she took her over-heating SUV. She paid$1,500 for the repair but,after getting it back, shediscovered the SUVwasstill overheating. Shereturned the vehicle tothe dealership and saidthe manager told her, “Wemakemistakes all the

time.” Then she was toldnew repairs neededwould cost nearly doublewhat she had alreadypaid.

“If they had presentedme with, ‘Your car needsupwards of $2,000 plus ofwork,’ I would have said,‘No.’ I bought it sevenyears ago, it had 35,000miles on it, its now got130,000 miles,” Hale-Frater said.

Fortunately, afterfiling a complaint withme, the dealership agreedto deduct the cost of thatfirst repair fromHale-Frater’s second bill. How-ever, she still ended uppayingmore than $2,000for the repairs.

Uecker said he hopesthe repair shop licensinglegislation will be passedby the end of this year. Isuggested, and the legis-lature will consider, re-quiring shop owners topost a small bond. Thatwould assure vehicleowners get compensatedshould there be a problemcollecting from a repairshop

“The board could ver-ify andmonitor compli-ance with state laws,giving consumers theability to identify thoseservice centers that areregistered. Every Ohioandeserves to feel confidentthat repairs on their vehi-cles are performed safelyand professionally,”Uecker said.
