With three schools ranked inthe top 100 in the state and anabove average graduation rate,the Sycamore CommunitySchools is still working on in-creasing student performance.

The Sycamore School Boardreviewed the district’s OhioDe-partment of Education state re-port card at its meeting Oct. 1.

“We have some places thatwe want to highlight and knowto be true and we have someplaces where we know we haveto do some work,” Director ofAcademic Affairs Karen Nabertold the board.

The report cardwill not haveoverall grades until 2016, butthe district received As in mul-tiple component categories forthe 2013-14 school year.

Sycamore gifted rankingwas 31 out of the 610 school dis-tricts in the state. Out of the3,311 schools in the state, Syca-more High School was ranked52 on the performance indexranking, Maple Dale Elemen-tary School was 73 andMontgo-mery Elementary School was79. All the schools fell in the top500, Nader said.

Thedistrict receivedanA, or90.8 percent, in the perfor-mance index category, whichmeasures state test scores. The

district also met 100 percent ofthe indicators for mathematicsand reading, earning the dis-trict another A grade.

Nader said Sycamore ranks28th inthestatefor thecategoryand only 37 districts receivedAs.

The highest percentage ofstudents, 46.1 percent, per-formed at the advancedachievement level.Only 0.1per-centperformedat theadvancedplus level.

“We are planning onworkingtowardgettingmorestudentsatthat level,” Nader said.

Nader said for students to beranked as advanced plus, theyhave to take an out-of-gradetest. She said students in ad-vance classes, such as math, al-ways take the grade level test,butwill now take the test for theclass they are actually in. Thedistrict has to formalize its pro-gram to meet the state require-ments for gifted services.

Nader said onlymath classeswill be eligible for the advancedplus level at first, and then thedistrict will formalize the othersubjects.

“It is kind of disappointing. Ifeel like the test option shouldbe there so the kids who aren’tformally in the class can showthat they are in that level,”

Though the delegation fromIlmenau, Germany is visitingBlueAshfor thegovernmentof-ficials to learnmore about theirsister city, the partnership alsogives younger Blue Ash resi-dents a chance to learn aboutGerman culture and education.

Daniel Schultheiss, an Ime-nau city councilman and lectur-er at the Ilmenau University ofTechnology, gave a presenta-tion about Imeanu and theschool system to a group of Ed-win H. Greene IntermediateSchool students, SycamoreCommunitySchools faculty andadministration Oct. 3.

Ilmenau is in thecentralGer-man state of Thuringia and hasa population of 32,000 – 7,000 ofwhom are university students,Schultheiss said.

“It is a pretty small univer-sity, but the number of studentsis pretty much for our smalltown,” Schultheiss told theGreene students.

Schultheiss showed a classschedule from a middle schoolin Ilmenau and asked the stu-dents to point out the differ-ence.

The students pointed out theIlmenau students all take aGer-

man classes and a woodshoptype class. Daniel said Germanmiddle school students havedifferent schedules each day,while most American schoolshave the same.

Many of the soccer fans inthe audience asked Schultheissabout Germany’s soccer team,which won the 2014 World Cup.

“None of the soccer playersare from Ilmenau. It’s a pity,”Schultheiss said, when asked ifMario Götze, who scored thewinning goal for Germany isfrom Ilmenau.

Multiple students wanted toknowwhat itwas like inGerma-ny after the teamwon.

“People were celebrating

several days and there wereverybig parties. Itwas an inter-esting time,” he said.

The16Ilmenauresidentsvis-ited Blue Ash from Sept. 27 toOct. 4. This is the 12th year ofthe Blue Ash and Ilmenau’spartnership. The city of BlueAsh covers the cost of lodging,food and local transportation

for the Ilmenau visitors. Thecity spent about $33,000 on thevisit, public relations coordina-tor Emily Shaffer said in anemail.

KENWOOD—Theyplay in a leaguewhereany of the four teams could conceivablywin a state title.

Moeller High School, defending Divi-sion I state champions the past two years,has their work cut out for them this seasonand every season.

FromSept. 26-Oct.10 theywereatSt.Xa-vier, at La Salle, then home with Elder. Allare projected playoff teams.

And, if you think there’s great disparityin Division I and Division II, it was the DIILancers off of North Bend that handed theCrusaders their first loss of the seasonOct.3, 34-9.

“We’re just trying to get better everyday and do our thing,” Rodenberg said. “Ikeep looking at our schedule and there’ssome tough teams ahead of us.”

At Moeller, there’s a playoff game eachweekend.

Ahead are more Ohio playoff-projectedteams in Lakewood St. Edward and Cleve-landSt. Ignatius andKentuckypowerhouseLouisville Trinity. Moeller has already de-feated another perennial Bluegrass powerin Louisville St. Xavier.

“Those wins early in the season are cru-cial forus,”Rodenbergsaid. “Weget every-one’s best shot. We just have to take it onegameat a timeandbemeticulous inprepar-ing for each team.”

It certainly is coach-speak, but when arare lossmakes the other team’s season, it’sa logical approach.

This year’s quarterback is Matt Crable,who bided his time behind Gus Ragland,who bided his time behind Spencer Iaco-vone. Biding his time behind Crable is ju-nior Tom MacVittie, who has completedeight of nine passes, but now is catchingthem to help the Crusaders’ offense.

“Matt (Crable) has done a great job,”Ro-denberg said. “He manages the game well.Hehasareallynicearmandishavinganicesenior year.”

Crable leads the Greater CatholicLeague-South in passingyards andhas hit avariety of receivers in juniors Kyle ButzandJakeHausmannandseniorsChasePan-key,DougBatesandJackToomb.MacVittieis filling in for Pankey, who has been in-jured and hopes to return by the postsea-son.

“We’ve got some weapons at wide re-ceiver, it just depends on who they want toshut down,” Rodenberg said.

Ditto at tight end with Bates and Haus-mann, both Division I recruits. Hausmannwas a rare sophomore starter at Moellerandhasbeenrankedas theNo.2 tightend inthe country by some services.

When they can’t scoretouchdowns, Moeller hasbeen able to get on theboard, thanks to accuratejunior kicker Matt Cogh-lin. Against St. Xavier, hehelped the Crusaders pullaway with a 47-yard ef-fort.

“He (Glines) wantsthe ball in his hands,”saidSpecht. “Hewants itas much as he can.”

The Boston Collegecommit tied the game,21-21,with threeminutesto play on a 34-yard runto force overtime. Afterboth teams traded fieldgoals in the first over-time,Glineshelpedham-mer down a decisiveeight-point lead with afive-yard touchdownrun, followed by a two-point conversion run.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Some players thrive onthe big stage, when thelights are brightest. En-ter Ben Glines.

The St. Xavier seniorrunning back’s seasonhas been anything buteasy. That’s expectedwhen you play in theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth.

In week one (a 35-20win over East St. Louis),Glines, who finishedwith 126 yards and threeTDs, suffered a high an-kle sprain. It’s a nagginginjury, especially for arunning back, and ithampered him.

According to St. Xcoach Steve Specht, theankle botheredBen untilthe Oct. 3 meeting withElder.

“It wasn’t until thispast week against Elderwhere Ben was 100 per-cent. We saw the oldBen,” Specht said.

Glines, in a return toform, carried it 24 timesfor a season-high 172yards and three TDsagainst the Panthers, inThe Pit. That’s the sec-ond season in a rowGlines has totaled morethan 170 yards on theground against rival El-der.

The Bombers havealso been dealing withinjuries at the quarter-back position. Startingquarterback, Sean Clif-ford, suffered a concus-sion against Moeller.Then backup quarter-

“He’s very physical, buthe’s also got an extragear.”

Over the years,Glines (6-foot-1, 195) hasprovenhis versatility, al-ways doing what’s beenasked of him.

As a sophomore,Glines played corner-back for the Bombers.Boston College recruit-ed him as a wide receiv-er, according to Specht,but they ended up listinghim as an athlete be-cause he can do so manydifferent things.

“His best days are infront of him; he’s got abright future,” saidSpecht.

“We knew from thetime he got here that hewouldbeaspecialplayerfor us.”

The choice is clearZacHaines is an excellent candidate

for Ohio Board of Education.His business experience would ben-

efit all Ohioans as education is the larg-est line item in the state budget.Hewillfocus on STEM, civil education, techni-cal preparation, andmore parental andcommunity involvement.

achievement, accountability and ad-vocacy are paramount in Zac’s bid forelection. Zac supports repeal of Com-mon Core and advocates for schoolchoice which benefits all recipients ofeducation - children, families and soci-ety at large, including taxpayers.

According to Dr. Milton FriedmanFoundation for Educational Choice (ed-choice.org) in the “ABC’s of SchoolChoice,” offering vouchers, educationsavings accounts, tax credit scholar-ships and individual tax credits/deduc-tions give parents the freedom tochoose their own child’s educationwhether public, private, home, faith-based, secular, technical, online, etc. -considering their family values, priori-ties and child’s needs.

As for the taxpayers, fair marketcompetition for students will achieve“win-win” objectives and results, andwill work best for all – exception theunions and administrators. Alternative“choice” has actually demonstrated theinefficiencies of government schoolsby providing superior education at lessthan half the per pupil cost of publiceducation.

Only a non-monopoly, free market,competitive educational industry canempower the ultimate consumers of aneducation industry. Pro-competitive“choice” has worked in virtually everyother area as anti-monopoly laws havekept themarket under natural cost con-straints.

The only counter arguments toschool “choice” are based on every-thing else besides what actually bene-fits the children, rather than the adults.Visit Zac Haines at hainesforohio.com,and vote Nov. 4.

“staunch Republican” and former BlueAshMayor Walter Reuszer says he haslooked carefully at both candidates forstate representative in Ohio’s 28th Dis-trict. He has investigated their posi-tions, their past performance and is fa-miliar with their backgrounds. Hischoice is Democrat Micah Kamrass.

Is this a big deal? This used to becalled “being an educated voter.”

Perhaps Mayor Reuszer has finallylearnedwhatmanyalreadyhave -whentea party ideology bumps into reality,the results are bad for everyone.

LETERS TO THEEDITOR

As a taxpayer and voter, what do Iwant frommy elected officials?

The answer is “common sense.” Thatdoesn’t seem too much to ask. Too often

we are disappointed bythose we elect. In con-trast, Ihavetried to liveup to the trust Hamil-ton County voters haverepeatedly placed inme.

Immediately on tak-ing office I stopped thelong-standing practiceof deducting politicalcontributions from em-ployee pay checks.

Most other county offices followed mylead about a year later.

After that, my first task was to re-storeconfidence inpropertyvaluations.I did that by removing political consid-erations from setting values, by settingtraining and certification goals for ourappraisal staff andbyholdingneighbor-hoodconferencesacrossthecountydur-ing the six-year reappraisals so proper-ty owners could review their tentativenew values.

Then I established our Finance De-

partment as an honest, independentcheck and balance on every county de-partment forwhichwemake payments.By writing the county’s checks we canspotquestionablevouchers.Andwedid.In one instance our refusal to pay for areported 650-mile round trip to Cleve-land (which is about 250 miles fromhere) brought significant, lastingchanges in county travel policies.

Ours was one of the first metropoli-tan areas in the country to have a prop-erty search website. By making publicrecords available we have reduced theopportunity for corruption and savedcountless trips to our office by profes-sionals who need and use our informa-tion every day. The website allows us tocommunicate with citizens and evenprovides estimates of individual costsof proposed tax levies. Our IT Depart-ment isoneof thebest in theregion, con-stantly updating our service and oftencalled to assist other county offices.

But most important to me in keepingfaith with the voters wasmy promise tooperate the Auditor’s office in a profes-sional, business-like way. I did that byreducing our staff from 174 employeeswhen I took office to 79 today. This was

accomplished through attrition andcross-training over the years. By plan-ning ahead we were able to avoid cut-backs and layoffs when the economytanked in 2008.

My commitment to respecting tax-payer’smoneymademethe firstHamil-ton County Auditor to return unspentfunds to local communities, school dis-tricts and taxing entities. The Real Es-tateAppraisal Fund comes froma smallportion of every tax levy. I could havelegally spent every penny. I didn’t. Twoyears ago I returned over $16 million, arecord amount.

Finally, I have established a cultureof citizen service in theAuditor’s office.One observer recently said we were“the gold standard of transparencyamong local government offices.” Thebestway to explain it is that I believe noone “works for me” in our office. We allwork together for you. I have been hon-ored byyour support over the years andask for your vote again this year.

Meeting today’s challengeswith some common sense

Dusty RhodesCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

My name is Fred Kundrata and I amthe Democratic nominee for U.S. Con-gress in Ohio’s 1st District, challengingincumbent Republican U.S. Rep. SteveChabot.

I believe that bipar-tisan leadership is des-perately needed to cre-ate jobs and tostrengthen the econo-my in Cincinnati andSouthwest Ohio.

We must recognizethat job creation andtheeconomyis theNo.1priority. You probablyknowsomeonewho justgraduated college or

high school and cannot find a job. Theywant to seek theAmericanDream.Theywant to perhaps get married one day,buy a home, and start a family, but theyneed good paying jobs to do so.

America needs leaders who bringpeople together to solve difficult chal-lenges in our changing world. Ohioranks 47th out of 50 states in job cre-ation. We need to have a plan to revital-ize our local economy and keep South-west Ohio’s human capital at home.

The next congressman from Ohio’s1st District should create a BipartisanJobsLeadershipTeamthatwill bring to-gether Democrats, Republicans and in-dependents; business, labor, and com-munity leaders, and citizens, to focus onjob creation and improving opportuni-ties for district residents.

The goal would be to bring thesegroups together in a roundtable envi-ronment.Nosingleelementof thegroupwill have supremacy over the others.The Bipartisan Jobs Leadership teamwill feature a shared leadership struc-ture drawn from each of the groupsabove.

Today, there are toomanyU.S. repre-sentatives who have neglected theirconstituents in favor of partisan poli-tics. We can start bipartisanship here athome in theCincinnati area.Weneedev-eryone working together; Democrats,Republicans and independents, com-mitted to getting things done. Extremepolarization is killing progress in theU.S. Congress.

Based on the nonpartisan NationalJournal’s annual vote ratings, only fourout of 535 members of the House andSenate are considered in the ideological

middle. The “ideological middle” in thiscase is defined as falling between themost conservative Democrat and themost liberal Republican. By contrast, in1982, 344 members of Congress, or 79percent, fell in the ideological middle.

The lack of overlap between the twoparties is seen as a primary cause ofgridlock in Washington today. It comesasnosurprise that theU.S.Congresshasan approval rating under 15 percent.

In those same National Journal rat-ings,basedonananalysisofkeyvotes in2013, my opponent was rated the No. 1most conservative member of Con-gress. As the Cincinnati Enquirer’s ownDeirdre Shesgreen points out, SteveChabot “wears the conservative labelproudly. ‘There’s not a lot of room tomyright!’ The Westwood Republican de-clared.”

The U.S. Congress and the 1st Dis-trict need bipartisan leadership, andcommitment toworking together tocre-ate a stronger economy.

Fred Kundrata is running for Congress fromOhio’s First District.

We need to take the lead onbipartisanship, job creation

OCTOBER 15, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

As I sit here typing thiscolumn, I can look out thewindow and see FarmerBruner bending over topick day-glow orangepumpkins from the field.

I’m stillfindingsmallerpumpkinsand squashin the un-tended re-mains ofour veggiegarden.

There’salso a soft-ly colored

mosaic of leaves coveringthe ground near the backof the herb garden. Nodoubt, autumn is in fullswing. I suppose that’swhy I’m getting requestsfor more bread recipes.Nothing smells betterthan a loaf of warm breadtaken from the oven andslathered with butter. Orwith the Jarlsberg spreadrecipe I am sharing, aswell.

Small batch 100percent wholewheat bread

For Pete, whowanted arecipe for a single loaf of100 percent whole wheatbread.

He hasmy original onefor whole wheat breadthatmakestwoloaves,buthe wanted a smallerbatch. Make sure you usehigh quality plain100 per-cent whole wheat flour,not partialwholewheat oranything in between.

1-1/8 cups lukewarmwater - start with 1 cup**

1/4 cup Canola oil1/4 cup honey

3 -1/2 cups 100 percentwhole wheat flour

2 -1/2 teaspoons rapidrise/instant yeast, not reg-ular active yeast

1/4 cup driedmilk pow-der

1 -1/4 teaspoons salt**In summer/humid

weather, usually 1 cup isenough. In cold/dryweatheryoumayneed theadditional two table-spoons.

Combine all ingredi-ents and stir until doughstarts to leave sides ofbowl. For easiest knead-ing, let dough rest for 20minutes in bowl; thisgives the flour a chance toabsorb some of the liquid,and the bran to soften.Transfer to lightlygreased surface, oil yourhands, andknead for6 to8minutes, or until it beginsto become smooth andsupple.

Note: This doughshould be soft, yet stillfirm enough to knead. Ad-just its consistency withadditional water or flour,if necessary.

Transfer to lightlysprayed bowl, cover, andallow to rise till puffythough not necessarilydoubled in bulk, about1 to2 hours, depending on thewarmth of your kitchen.

Transfer to lightlyoiled work surface, andshape into 8-inch log.Place in lightly sprayedorgreased loaf pan, coverloosely with lightlysprayed plastic wrap, andallow to rise 1 to 2 hours,or till the center hasraised about 1 inch abovethe rim of the pan. To-wards the end of the ris-ing time, preheat the oven

to 350°F.Bake the bread for 35

to 40 minutes, tenting itlightlywithaluminumfoilafter 20 minutes to pre-vent over-browning. Thefinished loaf will register190°F on an instant-readthermometer insertedinto center.

Remove from oven,and turn out onto rack tocool. I like to rub hot crustwith a stick of butter. Cooland eat.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

100 percent wholewheat is just that, with allof the bran, germ and en-dosperm intact. Yourbody absorbs it slower soyou feel fuller longer, plusithasabetterglycemic in-dex than white flour.

Jarlsberg spreadMy friend, Linda Grif-

fith, brought a containerof this spread for me totry.

“I love it and you canbuy it at some delis,” shetold me. Hmmm….check-ing the ingredients on thelabel led me to believe I

could clone this reallyyummy spread, and I did.So here it is and it’s versa-tile – spread on toast andrun under broiler or stir aspoonful into clear chick-en broth. Or serve chilledwith crackers.

Blend together and letflavors mellow in refrig-erator several hours be-fore serving:

1/2 cup mayonnaise orbit more if needed

2 cups shredded Gru-yere or Swiss - if youwantthe real deal, useGruyere

1-2 tablespoonsmincedred onion

Bit of chopped parsley- opt.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Gruyere is a high qual-ity, softer cheese, so chillit well before attemptingto shred.
