WHAT ARE THE REGULATIONS?State and federal regulations that started rolling out in

2011 and 2012 are aimed at making sure schools are feedingstudents.

Senate Bill 210, the Healthy Choices for Children Act, re-stricts the sale of certain foods and beverages to studentsduring the regular school day and before- and after-schoolprograms in school districts, community schools, and nonpublicschools.

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 aims to providethe more than 31million children who receive meals throughthe school lunch program with healthy food.

The act authorizes funding for federal school meal andchild nutrition programs and increases access to healthy foodfor low-income children. It reauthorized child nutrition pro-grams for five years and included $4.5 billion in new fundingfor those programs over 10 years.

The act, intended to improve nutrition and reduce child-hood obesity, is being implemented in stages, with require-ments and higher standards added each year.

» In 2011, Ohio schools banished carbonated beveragesfrom vending machines and said at least half of the drinksoffered must be water or zero-calorie beverages. The HealthyChoices for Children Act focused on drinks and snacks andaddressed the sugar, fat and sodium content of a la carte foodssold during school hours, as well as food in vending machinesand at after-school programs.

» In the 2012-2013 school year, lunch programs were re-quired to offer fruit daily, and vegetable subgroups – darkgreen such as broccoli, collard greens, spinach; red/orange,such as carrots and sweet potatoes; beans/peas such as kidneybeans, or lentils; starchy,including corn, green peas, whitepotatoes and others such as onions, green beans, and cucum-bers to meet a five-cup weekly total.

» Half of all grains were required to be whole-grain rich,which means they contain at least 50 percent whole grains.This includes the breading used on chicken tenders or chickennuggets. Schools were required to offer fat-free flavored milkand were allowed to offer low-fat unflavored milk as well.

» Calorie ranges were set for students by age groupings forlunch: grade level K-five, 550-650 calories; grade level six-eight,600-700 calories; grade level nine-12, 750-800 calories. Notransfat per portion is allowed.

» In 2013-14, calorie ranges were set for students by agegroupings for breakfast: grade level K-five, 350-500 calories;grade level 6-8, 400-500 calories; and grade level 9-12, 450-600calories.

» In the 2014-2015 school year, food service will begin tolower the sodium content of food served for breakfast andlunch.

» In 2012, a high school lunch had about 1,600 milligrams ofsodium. Through incremental changes, that amount lowersover the next decade to 740 milligrams or less of sodium forgrades through nine through 12; 710 milligrams or less forgrades six through eight; 640 milligrams or less for kindergar-ten through fifth-grades.

» The rules will require the menu to increase fruit to aminimum of one cup per day. All grains at breakfast and lunchmust be whole-grain rich. Reimbursable breakfasts must nowinclude a fruit or vegetable.

The act gives the USDA the authority to set nutritionalstandards for all foods regularly sold in schools during theschool day, including vending machines, the “a la carte” lunchlines, and school stores and it provides additional funding toschools that meet updated nutritional standards for federally-subsidized lunches.

Ohio’s seeing progress under the bill; it now stands 10th ona USDA list of states with the worst “food insecurity,” a termused to describe the state of being without reliable access to asufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. The state hasbeen improving since the healthy food act was passed in 2010,when it was eighth.

A record by musician StanGetz was a life changing expe-rience for an Indian Hill HighSchool student.

“I just loved the sound,” saidChristopher Thompson-Taylor,who recently graduated. “Iknew I wanted to do that.”

The record, which featuredthe work of the renowned jazzsaxophonist, inspired Thomp-son-Taylor.

Thompson-Taylor, who is aresident of Symmes Township,said he loved the “concept ofimprovisation and spontane-ous composition.”

“It’s always fresh,” he saidabout the style of jazz.

Thompson-Taylor has beenplaying the saxophone sinceage 11. Now 18, he has playedwith the Indian Hill Concertband, the IndianHill JazzBandandseveral ensembleswith theCollege-Conservatory of Mu-sic, University of Cincinnati.He was also the lead tenor sax-ophonist in the 2014 Ohio AllState Jazz Ensemble.

Thompson-Taylor was a re-cent recipient of the Hank

Marr High School Jazz Award,which is given to exceptionalhigh school jazz musicians.

As part of the award,Thompson-Taylor has beengiven an opportunity to per-form with the Columbus JazzOrchestra. The concert will be8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, at the Co-lumbusZooandAquarium,Wa-ter’s Edge Events Park.

He said he’s not nervousabout the upcoming perfor-mance. If anything, he’s excit-ed. “For me jazz is like a cele-bration,” he said.

Thompson-Taylor, who fa-vors the tenor saxophone, is fa-miliar with playing in front ofan audience and not just atschool-affiliated events.

He often will play at localclubs, adding thatheenjoys theintimate setting and the closeproximity to the audience.

This fall he will begin at-tending theFrost School ofMu-sic, University of Miami,where he plans tomajor in jazzperformance.

“I can’t imagine myself do-ing anything else,” he saidabout playing the saxophone.“(I) would say music is mylife.”

More than 70 members ofMount Notre Dame HighSchool’s Class of 2018 partici-pated in the Freshman ServiceDay that focuses on serviceand friendship.

MND students spent theday by collaborating withKeep Cincinnati Beautiful tohelp with maintenance, paint-ing and landscaping at theWesleyan Cemetery on Col-erain Avenue.

“We had a great day as weworked together on a fun andinteresting service project,”

said Todd Forman, MND fac-ulty member and coordinatorof the service trip. “The Wes-leyan Cemetery is of greathistorical significance. Manyof our patriots’ ancestors areburied there as well as thefamous abolitionist John VanZandt. The cemetery was alsoa decoy for the escape of the28 slaves to use as they fledthe city of Cincinnati. It wasgreat to see so many studentsgive up a day of their summerbreak and come out to giveback to the community.”

They have shared the storyofRosa’s father,RobertL.Hunt-er, who served with the “E”Squadron of the118thAAFBaseUnit. This unit was a part of the477th Bombardment Group.

Hunter was a bombardierwith the Tuskegee Airmenstarting in 1944. He had alsoserved in the Army and theArmy Air Corps.

Rosa, who is a resident ofGolf Manor, said her interest inthe Tuskegee Airmen was in-spired by stories her fathershared with the family.

“I feel it’s a part ofAmericanhistory that has been left out ofthe history books,” she said.

Hunterwasalso involved inademonstration called the Free-man Field Mutiny. Hunter wasamongthefirstblackofficers toparticipate in the demonstra-tion against segregation at anofficer club at FreemanField inIndiana.

“Thiswas oneof the first civ-il rights demonstrations,” Rosasaid.

Hunter and other members

of the Tuskegee Airmen werecollectively awarded a Con-gressional Gold Medal in 2007.

Rose, who is a resident ofPleasant Ridge, said she isproud of her husband.

“I really feel proud of whathe did to serve the country andfor standing tall in what he be-lieved in,” she said.

Like her daughter, Rose saidshewants to bring awareness tothe accomplishments of theTuskegee Airmen.

“I wonder how many peopleare aware of the contributions

black people made to the war(and) the sacrifices theymade,”she said. “I thinkmore studentsshould be exposed (to this histo-ry).”

Rose recalled wearing a Tus-kegeeAirmenT-shirt at apicnicawhile back and was surprisedat how many people were unfa-miliar with the Tuskegee Air-men. She said shewelcomed theopportunity to share their ac-complishments.

Her granddaughter, Leslie,already has a passion forAmer-ican history and plans to major

in integrated social studies edu-cation at Miami University thisfall.

Sharing her grandfather’sstory makes history “more tan-gible,” she said.

“Just (the fact) that he was apart of the Tuskegee Airmenandhadan impact duringWorldWar II is incredible,” Lesliesaid.

Rosa said she often sharesstories about the Tuskegee Air-men in her classroom.

It’s a way to keep historyalive, she said.

SYCAMORE TWP. — KeithBrackenridge is ready for lift-off (and tee-off) with his LadyAviator golf program at Syca-more High School.

Fresh off a trip to the OhioState Grey Course last seasonwhere Sycamore was eighth,there’s great optimism withthree returning players fromthat group.

Junior Kellen Alsip and sen-ior Hannah Brown were 1-2 inthe lineup for most of last falland juniorMayaOutlawwas theNo. 5 player who is looking tomove up. Brackenridge also ex-pects contributions from juniorHannah Zeidenstein, sopho-more Orchid Wang and sopho-moreMount Notre Dame trans-fer Sophie Kramer.

“Our team’s strength is expe-rience with our No. 1 and No. 2players entering their thirdyear on varsity and our No. 3andNo. 4 players entering theirsecond year,” he said.

That groupwon the sectionalchampionship at the HamiltonElks Club, was runner-up at dis-tricts atWeatherwaxandeighthin Columbus.

Brackenridge will have his2014LadyAveson the fast trackas they will have played six in-vitational tournaments beforeteampicturesare takenAug.14.Following the green and goldsmiles Sycamorewill next headnorth to face Chaminade-Juli-

enne and Tippecanoe at MiamiValley Country Club Aug. 17.

Sycamore’s boys coachedby Paul Phillips also had a re-spectable year by finishingfifth in the difficultGreaterMi-ami Conference and eighth atsectionals.

The Aves will be led by re-turning senior varsity playersRyan Wessinger, Sam Fredetteand Nick Bierschwal. Fredettewas second teamGMC last fall.

Also back are junior AlanCarr and sophomores AlexJones, Stephen Coleman andMarshall Hall. Freshmen JoshNickol and Victor Lim couldalso see varsity time.

“For us to compete with Ma-son, Lakota East and West andOak Hills in our league, we’llneed leadership from our sen-iorsandforourscoringaverageto improve,” Phillips said.“We’ve definitely struggled thepast few years with consisten-cy.”

Ursuline Academy went 7-2in dual matches last season, in-cluding a 4-1 mark in the GirlsGreater Catholic League goodfor second place. The onlyleague loss for the Lions was atwo-stroke decision against ri-val St. Ursula Academy to closethe regular season.

Marianne Sahms was GGCLcoach of the year in 2013, butshe graduated three all-leagueperformers. Senior KylandFrooman was an all-GGCL hon-orable mention player for theLions last season, while Olivia

Sheriff owes region better than uninformed attacksAn open letter to Butler

County Sheriff Richard Jones:Dear Sheriff Jones,As a foreign born U.S. citi-

zen, I find your tiresomeMex-ican-bashing distasteful, andyour recent “open letter” to thePresident of Mexico anothersign that Butler County de-serves better.

For what it is worth, let megive you some advice: don’t gothere.

If you send a bill to Mexico,the bill they could theoreticallysend you is much higher. Let’sstart with the illegal gun trade,which is fueled by the billionsof dollars our insatiable thirstfor drugs send to the cartels.The thousands upon thousandsof deaths in Mexico, caused notonly by smuggled US weapons,but by drug lords who makebillions from Americans whoconsume drugs.

The damageto the Mexicaneconomy, tothe govern-ment and thecost of tryingto fight thistidal wave ofmoney fueledby crime onour side of theborder makes

your letter seem even pettierthan it appears at first blush.

I won’t even discuss themerits of properly reimburs-ing Mexico for California,Colorado, Nevada, Arizona-…but you get the picture.

Sir, I came to this countrylegally and became a U.S. citi-zen because I love this country.The America I love is an openone that welcomes immigrantsand those who are differentand those who can contribute.

Many of the undocumentedworkers that have passedthrough what you erroneouslydescribe as “your” prison (youare the official elected to runit, to be clear) are no differentfrom your ancestors who camehere looking for a chance tobuild a better future and helpbuild a better America. Theydon’t come here looking forsocial programs, and they don’tqualify for any governmentsocial programs such as SocialSecurity or welfare, anyway.They come here looking forjobs, which they get, by anlarge, from Americans.

So let’s stop pretendingeverything bad is caused bysomeone from another countrywho is different form us.America has a drug problemwhich has contributed severeeconomic and social harm toCentral America and Colombia

for decades. People runningfrom that should receive oursympathy and our apologies –especially from those whofailed to enact and enforceanti-drug policies that work.

Other immigrants, whocome here simply looking forwork – and generally finding it,in American companies, ownedby American citizens – shouldbe viewed first as human be-ings who are here because theyfulfill an economic need thatwe created.

The “Mexicans” you talk of(who are frommany places,not only Mexico) are here ille-gally only because our im-migration policy is broken andfails to recognize the realitythat capitalism, our society andthe free market have created.

Sir, I would have thoughtthat you, as an officer of thelaw, would realize that there

are two sides to any story. Yourone-sided – and xenophobic –portrayal of the immigrationissue troubles me, as I am sureit troubles other people whorealize that we desperatelyneed to start fixing our ownproblems, including immigra-tion reform and drug abuse, inorder to be in a position tobegin pointing fingers – letalone sending bills.

Finally, I would add thatyour grandstanding is at oddswith those that would like ourregion to move forward andembrace the future, whichincludes continuing the legacyof immigration that made ourgreat nation of which we are soproud, and the benefits thatimmigrants bring us.

A bill recently signed intolaw by President Obama – theWorkforce Innovation andOpportunity Act (WIOA) –will help stabilize our publicworkforce system and assist

job seekersin gaining theskills andtraining re-quired forthe jobs oftoday andtomorrow.

The act isa great ex-ample ofbipartisan-ship in actionand will play

a vital role in getting moreOhioans back to work.

The Workforce Innovationand Opportunity Act con-tinues the important work ofthe Workforce InvestmentAct, the largest single sourceof federal funding for work-force development activitieswhich sends nearly $3 billioneach year to states includingOhio to help adults, displacedworkers and youth receiveskills training and get jobs.Workforce Innovation andOpportunity Act will alsosupport a network of thou-sands of one-stop employ-ment centers in the U.S. thatassist in job search supportand education. WorkforceInvestment Act has beenoverdue for reauthorizationand needed adjustment manytimes in the last 16 years dueto our changing economy.

The Workforce Innovationand Opportunity Act is ap-proved through 2020. It mod-ernizes and improves theWorkforce Investment Actby expanding access to tech-nology and digital literacyskills for adult learners, re-quiring more coordinationand integration of adult edu-cation services between stateworkforce development sys-tems and post-secondaryeducation and focusing onindustry partnerships fortraining and career pathwaydevelopment.

Through the new law,Ohio’s one-stop employmentcenters – OhioMeansJobs –

will be able to continue toprovide free employment-related services to job seek-ers and employers such aseducational workshops, ca-reer coaching and job leads.Locally, OhioMeansJobsCincinnati-Hamilton Countywill also be able to continueproviding residents withdirect services such as freehiring events, on-the-jobtraining, transportation andliterally thousands of jobpostings.

Other Workforce Innova-tion and Opportunity Actimprovements include:

» increases support forpeople with disabilities, al-lowing them to enter andremain in the competitiveworkforce.

» streamlines and consoli-dates programs to more stra-tegically align training, edu-cation and vocational reha-bilitation.

» improves outreach forout-of-school youth. Work-force Innovation and Oppor-tunity Act requires increasedfunding for dropout recoveryprograms and other strate-gies that help disconnectedyouth not only get back intoschool but also prepared forjobs and post-secondaryeducation.

Workforce Innovation andOpportunity Act is a steptoward enhanced job skillstraining across the U.S. Thislaw could be the impetus forgetting more job seekersequipped with the most in-demand skills necessary fortoday’s modern world and forthe workforce of tomorrow.

Let’s salute the collab-orative efforts taken by ourelected leadership to growour workforce in this recov-ering economy, and let’s con-tinue to work together todevelop better job opportuni-ties and skills training forour community.

What a short summer break.My oh my, it seemed like it wasjust yesterday that all of thoseboxes of books, records, ma-terials etc. were packed,

dragged to acar, thenstowed in alarge corner ofa basement.

Contrary towhat manythink, mostelementaryschool teach-ers see theJuly 4th holi-day as the end

of a very brief respite frombidding goodbye to studentswho just moved to the nextgrade.

The first step is to embarkon an in-depth reflection of theprevious school year.

What programs and activ-ities worked? What changesare necessary? What should becompletely forgotten?

Next, one has to think aboutan entirely new group of stu-dents, maybe a new classroom,different grade level, or per-haps a new school.

As the new school yeardraws closer, all those boxesare loaded back into the car,hauled to school, and luggedinto an empty classroom. Onlythe clanging sounds of thebuilding’s cleaners are heardas the teacher contemplates

what the roomwill look like infour short weeks.

Each day progress towardthe opening of school is made.Shelves are lined with books,bulletin boards are covered,furniture is rearranged andboxes are unloaded. Supple-mental materials are sorted forvarious units of study. Whileshifting things into place,thankfully, there are formerstudents eager to assist.

Just two weeks before thefirst day students arrive, thedaily diet of meetings begins.

Were those endless listsmentioned? Lists for groups,textbooks, attendance records.A stack rises on teacher’s desk.Of course the most importantone is the ever changing classlist, each name bearing a stu-dent’s unique past and hope forthe future. Parents want to seewho their child’s teacher is.Children want to see if theirfriends are in the same class.Teachers need to use it to cre-ate more lists.

Oh. Almost forgot that intoday’s world of student ac-countability, there are all thosetest results waiting to be exam-ined. Reams of test data toreview. Instructional strate-gies to address studentsstrengths and weakness areformed and in some casessubmitted in writing to thebuilding administrator. Theseare the moments of the profes-

sion’s reality that burst thebubble of the joy of teaching.

The week before schoolbegins, teachers refine bulletinboard displays, develop in-terest centers, outline dailyschedules and post students’routines in prominent spacesaround the room. Afternoonsare spent contacting parents,shopping for students’ suppliesand reviewing students’ aca-demic and health records.Initial plans are devised tomake connections with eachchild and to identify all thoseactivities that will make thefirst day of school special foreveryone.

Then the eve of the newschool year arrives. The teach-ers’ thoughts about the comingday are racing through theirminds. Like the routine ringingof the school’s morning bell,the detailed visualization of thememorable day ahead bringsan expected sleepless night.The morning dawns. The class-room door opens. One by oneeach student is welcomed. Nowerased by the excitement ofthe first day of school the briefsummer break is a distantmemory.

Newly planted trees are tak-ing root around the city and if aTristate collaboration has itsway, more than 2 million newtrees will be planted by 2020.

The Ohio Kentucky IndianaRegional Council of Govern-ments, the Green Partnershipfor a Greater Cincinnati, theGreen Umbrella and the Cincin-nati Zoo & Botanical Gardenhave joined forces to launch aninitiative to plant 2 million treesin the eight-county Tristate areaby the year 2020. The Emeraldash borer has had a devastatingeffect on ash trees in the region,and the Tristate could eventual-ly lose all ash trees.

In an effort to counteract theEmerald ash borer, the TakingRoot campaign launched its treeplanting efforts. Two of TwinLakes’ residents are activelyworking, along with a commit-tee, to involve the campus inplanting and registering treeswith the Taking Root initiative.Twin Lakes has already planted100 trees that can be registeredto the Taking Root Campaign.

Martha Seaman and FredMoorearebothpassionateaboutincreasing that number to helptheenvironmentand in theproc-ess, beautify Twin Lakes, Sea-man, amemberof theTreeCom-mission for Montgomery andthe Twin Lakes LandscapingCommittee, has had an interestin trees foryears.Acertifiedur-ban forester, she sees obviousopportunity intheareato impactthe campaign.

“Twin Lakes has built a newwalking path between theNorthand South campus and the treesthat are planted in that area willbe registered to the Taking Rootcampaign, so I know we will beable to have an effect on the re-gional goal of 2 million trees,”Seaman said. “I hope the city ofMontgomery joins our efforts,as they have many trees to re-place fromash borer infestationin their parks.”

Moore, avolunteer at theCin-cinnati Museum Center, was in-terested immediately in the ini-tiative and is working with acommittee, including Seamanand other residents, to developan action plan for Twin Lakes.

“We haven’t officially agreedonwhatourgoal is, but I’mpush-ing for us to plant at least onetree for each resident and asso-ciateatTwinLakes,”Mooresaid.“I would love to eventually havean Arbor Day type event whereassociates and their families,along with residents and theirchildren and grandchildren, canparticipate in a tree plantingevent.”

Thecommitteethat iscomingtogether to work on the TakingRoot project hopes to have con-firmed plans in late spring orearly summer, so watch formore information on this excit-ing campaign.

AUGUST 13, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

During the early summermonths, we till and hoe thegarden and even pull up theweeds by hand.

Seems like forever beforeany of the gar-den produce isready to eat, andthen all of asudden, every-thing is ripe.Hoeing, tillingand weedingtake a back seatto harvesting.Tomatoes, cu-cumbers,squash, berries,

corn, beans are all at theirpeak. I need a crew just to helpharvest!

But really, I’m not complain-ing, because there is trulynothing like picking a ripetomato off the vine and bitinginto it, juice running downmychin and all. Or snapping theends of freshly picked greenbeans and eating a few as I go.

If your garden is bearingabundantly, too, you’ll appreci-ate the recipes I’m sharingtoday.

Fresh tomato tartFriend Terry Halpin is a

busy nurse practitioner andshe told me this was a hit ather house. Some folks like tosqueeze out part of the juiceand seed the tomatoes beforeslicing so they’re not too juicyin the tart. The flour in thebottom of the crust helps itstay crisp.

1 pie crust1 tablespoon flour8 oz. Mozzarella, Monterrey

Jack or combo of bothSalt and pepper to taste1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise,

regular or light (start out with1/2 cup; if too thick to spread,add a bit more as needed)

3-4 tomatoes, sliced, enough

to make a layer1 nice bunch green onions,

sliced thinHandful of fresh basil,

chopped, about 1/4 cup or so, or2 scant teaspoons dry

Preheat oven to 400. Prickcrust and prebake 10 minutes.Dust bottom with flour. Mixcheese, salt and pepper andmayo. Spread thin layer overcrust. Lay tomato slices on top.Spread rest of cheese mixture

over tomatoes. Sprinkle withgreen onions and basil. Smoothtop, pushing onions and basilinto cheese mixture. Bakeabout 20 minutes or untilpuffed and golden.

Warm Dijon potato saladwith green beans

I’ve mentioned before thatI’ve worked with Dave Lieber-man, food network celebrityand cookbook author. I like

Dave’s recipes because theyare easy and fun to serve.Here’s one of his that I adaptedonly slightly. I put the salad ona large oval platter instead of abowl. It was pretty and no onehad to dig to get a spoonful ofboth potatoes and beans.

2-1/2 to 3 pounds Fingerlingor small red potatoes

1 pound green beans,trimmed

1/2 generous cup real may-

onnaise2 generous tablespoons

Dijon mustard1 large shallot minced1/4 cup red wine vinegar or

more to tasteSalt and pepper to tasteHandful parsley, choppedPlace potatoes in pot and

cover with cold water. Salt thewater generously, bring to aboil and cook until the potatoesare fork tender, about 15 min-utes or so. Drain. Bring anoth-er pot of salted water to a boiland throw the beans in just fora minute or two until they turnbright green. Strain and runthem under cold water to stopthe beans from cooking. In amixing bowl combine the re-maining ingredients and whiskuntil smooth. Cut the potatoesin half lengthwise and theninto roughly 1 inch chunks. Cutbeans in half. I like to cut themon the diagonal. Toss the potatochunks in the dressing andthen toss in the green beansand the parsley. Add salt andpepper to taste.

Readers want to know:How to tell when grilled

corn is tender.Charlie, a Kentucky reader,

wondered how to tell when hisgrilled corn in the husk wasready to eat. “I pull the huskback but that’s a nuisance”, hesaid. Follow Cook’s Illustratedtip: As soon as the husk picksup the dark silhouette of ker-nels and begins to pull awayfrom the tip of the ear, it’sdone.

RELIGION

The Greater Cincin-nati Performing Arts So-cietywas founded in 2007by Rob Ellig and Pete El-lerhorst with a two-foldmission – to develop amid-level performingarts series thatdidnot ex-ist in the Cincinnati mar-ket and to support Catho-lic elementary educationbymeans of tuition assis-tance. The GCPAS is pre-paring to kick of its

eighth concert seasonand the organization isgaining a lot of momen-tum.

Sept. 13-Sept. 14 - Gui-tar master Tommy Em-manuel, McAuley Per-forming Arts Center. El-lig and Ellerhorst actual-ly founded theorganization as a way toget Tommy Emmanuel toCincinnati.

“Rob and I heard Tom-my play down in Eliza-bethtown, Kentucky, andall we talked about on theway home was why noone was bringing Tommy

to Cinicnnati”, Ellerhorstsaid.Afteraboutoneyearof deliberation, the pairdecided to take mattersinto their own hands andbring inEmmanuel. “Nei-ther one of us had any ex-perience in concert pro-motion and we knew wewouldmakemistakes butwe were willing to takethe risk to do somethingnewanddifferent,”Eller-horst said.

Oct.25 -TheAnnieMo-ses Band, McAuley Per-forming Arts Center. Thebandconsistsofclassical-ly trained and Julliard

graduated family mem-berswhoaredescendantsof Annie Moses, theirgreat-grandmother.Many of the familymem-bers are multi-instru-mentalists and present ahigh-energy show of ev-erything from classicaland bluegrass to countryand rock.

Nov. 22 - 1964 the Trib-ute, University of MountSt. Joseph.

Jan. 31-TheCaliforniaGuitar Trio with guestbassist Tony Levin, St.Xavier PerformanceCenter.

Feb. 28 - The Toron-to-based a cappellagroup Cadence, St. Xa-vier Performance Cen-ter.

April 11 - The SteepCanyon Rangers, Mar-tin Marietta Theater atHarrison High School.

May9-TheHitMen,McAuley PerformingArts Center.

Tickets for all of theevents are $35 in ad-vance ($30 for Ca-dence) and $40 day ofshow. Assigned seatingis also available for anextra $5.The generaladmission tickets are afestival seating for-mat, but this seasonGCPAS is offering as-signed seating for ev-ery show.

When a patron buysa ticket to one of theGCPAS performances,they can designate $5of the ticket price toany one of 94 Catholicelementary schools inthe Greater Cincinnatiand Northern Ken-tucky areas. The ESAPFoundation is match-ing all of the donations,which translates into a$10 per ticket donationto the schools.
