Four proposals are movingcloser to developing the south-ern gateway of Montgomerywith more approval.

The Montgomery Communi-ty Improvement Corporationapproved the submissions forthe redevelopment of the oldFord and Chevrolet dealershipsites on Montgmery Road justnorth of Ronald Reagan CrossCounty Highway.

Community DevelopmentDirector Tracy Roblero said thecity will draft a request for pro-posals that will be approved bythe Planning and Zoning Com-mission.

The city received 13 propos-als for the 11.6-acre site at thesouth entrance of the city,which is being called the Gate-way Redevelopment Area. Thesite was once home to the Fordand Chevy dealerships. TheChevy dealership was demol-ished in December and the Forddealership is scheduled fordemolition in May.

“A lot of different factorscomprise our vision for the site.All of it is conceptual at thispoint,” Councilman and CICmember Ken Suer said

A look at the proposals:» Great Traditions and Bran-

dicorp: A mixed-use develop-ment with condos ranging infrom $500,000 to $1 million, of-fice space with a parking struc-ture and restaurants and retailspace. The proposal also includsroom for a park. Roblero saidthe city and Great Traditionshave experience working to-gether because Great Tradi-tions is developing the VintageClub at the north end of Montgo-mery.

A private school specializ-ing in educating students withautism is looking to open at aMontgomery church.

Montgomery PresbyterianChurch Pastor Melissa Baconand Skyward Academy Foun-der and Director Michelle Am-rein outlined plans beforeMontgomery Planning Com-mission on April 6. The churchis applying for a conditionaluse permit from the city to al-low the school to operate infive of its existing classrooms.

“We are very excited aboutthe work that Skyward Acad-emy does, and we are happy toprovide a place for them to dowhat they do,” Bacon said.

Skyward serves students infourth grade through highschool graduation. The schoolis for students on the autismspectrum or who have otherlearning disabilities, Amreinsaid. The school focuses on in-dividualized learning plansand instruction.

The planning commissionapproved the school’s applica-tion, but it will still have to gothrough a public hearing andvote by Montgomery citycouncil.

Skyward’s school in Mont-gomery would have 35 stu-dents and 10 teachers.

“The church would like tolease part of the building to theschool. They have had a seriesof educational tenants,” Com-munity Development DirectorTracy Roblero said.

Renaissance MontessoriSchool and Ohio Valley OralSchool used to operate out ofthe church’s classrooms, Ro-

blero said.Roblero said there would be

no changes would be made tothe building and the pick-upand drop-off area would be thesame used by the other

The mosaics, craftedinto the front wall of theschool, will be movedacross Chester Road, to

until final details of theproject are worked out.

Princeton school boardmember Steve Moore saidthe work would be com-pleted by the EvansGroup, which is conduct-ing the demolition of thehigh school site.

Reisen would not con-firm how much money hasbeen raised, although shesaid all of the costs wouldbe covered by donationsthrough thewww.fundrazr.com site, toa designated Fifth Third

Bank account, through di-rect donations, and froman anonymous donor.

As of April 15, the Fun-drazr site listed $15,300 indonations.

The panels, designedby Cincinnati painter andmuralist Carl Zimmer-man in 1958, reflectShakespeare's "SevenAges of Man."

Cincinnati Country Day

» Billy Chace, an actor andteaching artist from CincinnatiShakespeare Company, visitedCincinnati Country Day Schooltwice in April to work witheight students on channelingtheir best Shakespeare perfor-mances.

The Upper School DramaDepartment collaborated withCincinnati Shakespeare onPROJECT 38, a week-long ef-fort to produce all 38 of Shake-speare’s plays. CCDS was one of38 schools participating.

CCDS students presented ashort, modern version of “TwoGentlemen of Verona.” Thefree performance was April 17on the Washington Park CivicLawn downtown.

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool

» Mount Notre Dame wasproud to continue its leader-ship in the third annual Nightfor the Fight event Friday,March 20, at Xavier Univer-sity’s Cintas Center. The over-night cancer-awareness eventbenefiting CancerFree KIDSinvolved more than 20 schoolsand about 700 students acrossthe Greater Cincinnati andNorthern Kentucky area.

The event seeks to encour-age the next generation to jointhe battle against pediatriccancer.

Throughout the night, stu-dents participated in activitiesmeant to educate, motivate andinspire.

A record $93,180 was raisedat this year’s event, which willdirectly fund research onchildhood cancers.

MND students and facultyplayed an integral role in thecreation of Night for the Fight,which was founded in August2012. MND senior Kelly Hig-gins of Montgomery was com-mitted to raising awareness forpediatric cancer, having beenpersonally affected throughthe loss of her father in 2012.

As a result, Higgins helpedestablish Night for the Fightand hopes the impact of theevent will live on.

“With the turnout we hadthis year, it really excites meto see how this event will con-tinue to grow for the years tocome,” Higgins said.

» Mount Notre Dame stu-dents traveled to Liberty, Ky.,for a service trip that wouldallow them to reboot, reflectand reconnect with God.

Liberty is a small towntucked into the hills of centralKentucky and home to manypeople who live lives focusedon simplicity and faith. Thisyear, 38 students and eightchaperones went to experiencethe way of life in Liberty. For tthree years, students and fac-ulty from Seton High Schoolhave joined MND on trips toLiberty. This trip, 13 studentsand four chaperones fromSeton accompanied MND.

While in Liberty, the groupworked on several organicfarms (picking, planting, sort-ing, watering, preparing theground, trimming), helpedelderly and disabled friendswith chores, spent time withresidents at the non-profitGalilean Children’s Home,shoveled manure, helped withconstruction projects, assisteda local Catholic church withprojects, visited Amishfriends, and much more.

The MND team also devel-oped a sense of communityamong participants andfriends in Liberty. Togetherthey played volleyball, enjoyedfolk music and reflected aboutlife.

“During this trip, I noticedso many people who were liv-ing their lives so simply yet

fully,” sophomore Chloe Mar-klay of West Chester Town-ship, who participated in hersecond Liberty trip, said. “Ithink it is important to realizethat you don’t need a lot in lifeto be complete. Sometimes theless we have allows us to seehow much we truly have.”

MND makes the trip toLiberty three to four times ayear, and they often make aChristmas visit to see the localplay. The organizer of the trip,Todd Forman, MND facultymember, has been taking stu-dents and adult chaperones toLiberty since 1988. This wasMND’s 28th trip.

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.

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

Sycamore School Board VicePresident John Mercurio’sguest column in the April 15Northeast Suburban Life shouldbe a loud awake up call to everytax payer in the Sycamore,Princeton and Madeira schooldistricts.

Hopefully, as he suggests, itwill also be a call to action forresidents to contact our StateRep. Jonathan Dever and insistthat he stops the state fromreducing funding to ourschools.

As a memory refresher, 10years ago “tax reform” re-placed tangible personal prop-erty tax with a commercialactivity tax. There was a clear

and unambig-uous promiseto maintain thefunding tolocal schoolsthat was gener-ated by theTPP. There wasno provisionfor a phase outor sunset onthat promise.

If the state follows throughwith this plan, here is what willhappen:

1, School districts in the 28thHouse District will lose signifi-cant funding. Period.

2, Our schools will have tocut back the quality and quanti-

ty of the services provided toour kids, or

3, To maintain quality andservices, we will be asked toincrease our property taxesthrough a levy.

Our school boards and ad-ministrations have done anamazing job of providing qual-ity education and serving asexcellent stewards of our taxdollars. That cannot continue ifthe state robs us of this fund-ing.

This matter is in the handsof our state legislators. Lastyear candidate Dever promisedaccountability, transparencyand action. It is now time for usto hold him accountable. We

need him to stand up for us inColumbus. I’ve heard he maybe working to preserve “some”of our funding. Let him knowthat “some” is not enough. Itwill not work to take moneyfrom our school systems tobuild the State’s rainy day re-serve, cut income taxes to busi-nesses, or to redistribute oureducation dollars to other dis-tricts.

Frankly, I am also unwillingto trade a miniscule reductionin my personal income tax if itcosts me hundreds of dollars inadditional property tax downthe road. We need to let thegovernor and our representa-tives know that Robin Hood

style redistribution and taxburden shifting are not thesame thing as a real tax reduc-tion.

By the way, my children arelong out of school. They re-ceived a fabulous educationfrom Sycamore Schools and arenow productive tax payers. Iknow that my home is worthmore in Sycamore because ofour schools. I also know thatour tax burden is not small, butwe get great value. Let’s keepthis quality value relationshipgoing. Call or write Rep. Devernow.

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 the Com-munist Cuban government,that are not America’s proudestmoments. That being said, I seeabsolutely no benefit to the U.S.in recognizing Cuba, as long asit is under Castro. If the formerresidents, through Congress,request normalization, I mightchange my 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 do thesame to terrorist nations likeIran and Cuba.

“BTW I found the beaches atGuantanamo Bay to be some ofthe most beautiful in the worldon numerous occasions. Proba-bly, Marriott could build a fivestar resort there in place of theTaliban Towers Resort. I’m stillwaiting to go to the Hilton that Iwas sure would be built on NhaTrang’s beach.”

D.B.

“I’ve known many peoplethat have been able to go to Cu-ba under the guise of artistic oruniversity/academic-spon-sored trips, so although it wasoff limits to the casual U.S. citi-zen there were ways to travelthere.

“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 Reaganyears, I never felt that Cubawas in any way a threat to the

United States. I am surprised ittook this long for the U.S. to nor-malize 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 suf-fering endured daily by thepopulace.

“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 more

Americans gaining a first-handview into the myriad failuresinherent in a Communist soci-ety, and by close extension so-cialism, will result in a groundswell arising to turn sharplyaway from the socialism pathdown which Obama has steeredour country.

“I support this change in re-lationship between our twocountries and look forward tosomeday visiting our Carib-bean neighbor.”

M.J.F.

“It was time to re-establishrelations with Cuba. I fear how-ever that it could emulate theflow of illegal aliens that hasbeen going on from Mexico.The U.S. is not equipped to fi-nancially handle any more ofthat.

“I have no desire to visit Cu-ba. It could have been anotherLas Vegas or Miami Beach, butfor Castro’s lack of vision. Com-munism has failed there and inNorth Korea. Go Figure!”

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 one ofthose ‘top notch’ doctors BruceHealey talks about. Maybe wecan get him a brain transplant,since he believes we shouldopen trade to the only countrythat was receiving Russianmissiles to destroy the 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.

KAREEM ELGAZZAR/THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER

Reds manager Bryan Price is interviewed by Cincinnati media duringspring training.

Throughout the history ofhuman civilization, institution-al religion has a way of perpet-uating its values, liturgies andultimately, control of the faith-ful.

Normally, the utterances ofGod are thought to be cast instone, not intended to bechanged in any phrase, word,vowel or punctuation mark (ifone was present).

However, history also rec-ords that institutional religioncan change. There are manyexamples of this, but for brev-ity, I will illustrate changethrough the history of theChristian church. Christianityis a religion that arose out ofJudaism during a time whenthe Second Temple was stillstanding in Jerusalem , just ageneration before the templethat Herod built was destroyedduring the Jewish-RomanWars.

Over time, the Christiangospel found its way intoEurope through Rome. Therein 313 CE, the Emperor Con-stantine I legalized Christianityand rather quickly, Christianitybecome the dominant religionof the empire. Indeed, the pur-ple mantle adorned bothchurch and state.

After the demise of the lastRoman emperor, the Churchstyled itself the protector ofthe Scripture and of Westerncivilization. Great churchmen,first with miter, cross, and holybook, and then with shield,sword and lance, defended therealm against the unscriptedtribes on the fringes of thecontinent.

Yet another Scripture, theQuran, was revealed throughMohammad as the last prophetof Allah who is also God ofAbraham. With this reforma-tion and expansion of Islamwestward across a part of theMediterranean world, conflictdragged out into 200-year Cru-sade for the Holy Land andJerusalem in particular.

The Christian church expe-rienced reformation within,first with the split between theEastern and Western institu-tions. As new thinking inEurope developed into theEnlightenment, the rise ofProtestant Christianity, precip-itated a bloody struggle which

climaxed inthe ThirtyYears War.After nearly aquarter of thepopulation ofnorth centralEurope per-ished bysword, famineand pestilence,the war was

ended with the Peace of West-phalia by which the newlyemerged nation-states ofEurope resolved not to go towar in the name of religion, butreserving unto themselvesraison d’être.

Major wars continued toplague humanity with evermore destructive weapons -rifles, machine guns, artillery,tanks and finally nuclear arms.With new knowledge of anddominion over the physicalworld, human beings havebecome godlike with power todestroy the earth.

At this juncture, the world’sinstitutional religions mustplay the role of protectinghuman existence by beatingswords into plowshares andnever be used as a pretext orexcuse to wage war.

On a rainy Saturday af-ternoon, Sycamore HighSchool’s top-ranked ten-nis team left their umbrel-las at home and broughtout the brooms instead.

The Aviators swept thetop flight of the GreaterCincinnati Tennis Coach-es Association CoachesClassic, played at Camar-go Racquet Club. Theweather brought about alast-minute venuechange, but the Aviatorswere unfazed. They wonall three singles and bothdoubles events.

“I was very happy withthe way the entire teamcame out and competed,”said head coach MikeTeets. “I am alwayswatching to see how hardthey play on every singlepoint, and I couldn't behappier with the effortthey gave today.”

Sycamore cruised intofirst place in Flight A with400 points, followed by St.Xavier, Mason, and IndianHill. Senior Deepak In-drakanti won first singles,junior Alex Taylor wonsecond singles, and sopho-more Noah Stern wonthird singles. Nakul Na-rendran and Alex Witten-baum teamed up to winfirst doubles, while team-mates Aditya Venkitara-ma and Regis Liou wonsecond doubles.

“It's such a tough tour-nament that you never ex-pect to sweep it, but wedid feel like we had achance at each position ifthings went well,” said

Teets. “It was simply amatter of coming out fo-cused and strong and notletting up, since we knewthat the guys on the otherside of the net were goingto put up a great fight.”

Mason’s Sean Reid andShashank Reddy wererunners up in first dou-bles and teammatesShashank Singuri andDuncan Mackenzieplaced second in seconddoubles. St. Xavier’s An-drew Niehaus was therunner up in first singles,while teammate WaqasTanveer placed second inthird singles. Indian Hillfreshman Andrew Pregelplaced second in secondsingles.

In 2015, 41 area teamscompeted in the GCTCACoaches Classic, getting aglimpse of the local com-petition they will face inthe postseason. Sycamoredominated Flight A, butFlights B through E weremuch more competitive.The Aviators establishedthemselves as the team tobeat and proved why thedefending state champi-ons remain the top-ranked team in the cityand state.

“It's a nice measuringstick at this point in theseason because we get tocompete against the topteams in the city,” saidTeets. “It's not necessar-ily comparable to thepostseason since manyteams will put their sin-gles players together asdoubles teams for the sec-tionals, but it's a great wayto see how we’re playingand competing.”

Staging its grand fi-nale at Memorial Hall,the Queen City ConcertBand will perform a con-cluding concert at 2 p.m.Sunday, May 3, beforethe historic Over-the-Rhine auditorium under-goes a comprehensivemodernization.

Titled “Finale,” thefree 90-minute concertwill offer a programranging from symphonicand operetta to Dixie-land and Irish folk. Ap-propriately, it will con-clude with Antonin Dvo-rak’s “Finale” from thecomposer’s “New WorldSymphony.” The bandwill also play “Largo”(familiarly known as“Going Home”) fromthat symphony.

A reception will fol-low in the hall’s Park-View Room overlooking

Washington Park.Memorial Hall is at

1225 Elm St., next to theCincinnati Music Hall.Convenient paid parkingis available in a lot adja-cent to Memorial Halland in the WashingtonPark garage.

“This will be your lastchance to hear our fineband in that magnificenthall for a long time,” saidTerry Medert, who hasserved as co-director ofthe QCCB with SteveJoos since 2009. Thosewith concert questionscan call Medert at 513-325-3537.

Many of these studentsare award winners inmany categories.

This year, the founda-tion is partnering with themusical group, “concert:nova,” which prides itselfin the intersection ofworld-class chamber mu-sic and ground-breakinglive experimentation.They are a chamber music

group who reinvents clas-sical for today’s audience.

The zeal and passionwith which he served hiscommunity was fueled byan event, which happenedwhen, as an eight-year oldchild, John was at thebrink of death following asledding accident.

Overhearing a doctortell his mother that heprobably would not pullthrough, the young boy be-came determined to sur-vive and do everything inhis power to “repay the

gift of borrowed time”.As the “borrowed time”

went on and John ma-tured, he grew to realizehis destiny to “express(his) gratitude for the di-vine gift of life” and even-tually discovered that “aperson is often happiestwhen giving the most.”

For Magro, “giving”was a full-time occupationwith much of his effort di-rected toward the lyricarts.

Known as Cincinnati’s“MusicMan,” he served aspresident and generalmanager of the CincinnatiOpera, making many re-cordings and managing-more than 60 grand operasfor the Cincinnati Sum-mer Opera Association.

Always interested inpromoting young singers,in 1959, he replaced “thebig names” with youngperformers not yet inter-nationally known. As a co-founder of the AmericanOpera Auditions, he start-ed Operas at Peterloon toshowcase the auditionwinners on the lush lawnsof this beautiful estate.

The John L. MagroFoundation is a non-profitorganization with its pri-mary purpose to servepublic interests in the artsand sciences. The organi-zational board is made upprimarily of unrelated in-dividuals selected fromthe community andserv-ing on a volunteer basis.Contributions are tax de-ductible.
