Just a month after its cre-ation, the Madeira Historic Dis-trict now has a property man-ager and leasing agent.
Madeira city council ap-proved the ordinance April 13 tohave North Ridge RealtyGroup, of West Chester Town-ship, act as the leasing agentand property manager for theHosbrook House, MuchmoreHouse and Madeira Train De-pot.
“North Ridge has been verycooperative and very helpful.We are very pleased with NorthRidge’s approach,” Law Direc-tor Bob Malloy said.
North Ridge did a marketrate analysis for the three prop-erties, which are all beingleased under the market rate.Councilwoman Nancy Spencersaid North Ridge determined$18 per square foot for the twohouses and $22 for the Train De-pot. The cost includes the baserent, insurance and commonarea maintenance expenses,said Pam Shrout, of NorthRidge.
With those rates, it wouldcost $29,844 annually to rent theMuchmore House, $18,684 forthe Hosbrook House and$28,996 for the Train Depot.
Creativities owner ChristineParker pays $15,000 annuallyfor the Muchmore House. TheMadeira Woman’s Club, a non-profit, pays $3,600 for the Hos-brook house and radio personal-ity Bill Cunningham pays$18,000 to the Train Depot,
which he is subleasing to LaSoupe owner Suzy DeYoung.
North Ridge will be paid 6percent of the total base rent upto the first 60 months or initiallease term plus 3 percent for theremainder of the term to negoti-ation the lease agreement.North Ridge will be paid a 3 per-cent of any renewal period thatit renegotiates.
Shrout said North Ridgewould get the same rates even ifone of the current tenants,Parker, the woman’s club orCunningham, leases the proper-ties.
“It is a new lease. We are go-ing to have everything new, weare going to put out requests forproposals. Those will all go outfor response back so it will be allnew,” Shrout said.
Shrout said she is planningfor five-year lease agreementsfor the properties. CouncilmanKenneth Born asked if the citywould be refunded if a businesswere to sign a five-year lease,but fail after three years.Shrout said no.
Parker asked at an earliermeeting of the need for a leas-ing agent to find tenants for thethree properties. Parker saidshe wants to stay in the Much-more House and would lease theHosbrook House, if the wom-an’s club decides to leave. Thecity has received 11 unsolicitedproposals from people willingto rent the train depot.

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 MichelleAmrein 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 Direc-
tor Tracy Roblero said.Renaissance Montessori
School and Ohio Valley OralSchool used to operate out ofthe church’s classrooms, Ro-blero said.
Roblero said there would beno changes would be made tothe building and the pick-upand drop-off area would be thesame used by the otherschools.
Roblero said she receivedone concern from a residentthat parents would drive tooquickly during the pick-up anddrop-off times. The entranceto the church is at the intersec-tion of Zig Zag Road and Wind-zag Lane and the parking lotborders a neighborhood onone side.
Amrein said the parents areall very involved and each stu-dent is walked into the schoolfrom the car drop off line by a
teacher.Amrein said she and Bacon
are talking about fixing up theexisting playground at thechurch, but that would be theonly change at the church.
Amrein said the school ispart of Skyward’s expansionplan.
Skyward has a school inDeer Park and a therapeuticcenter for students in kinder-garten through eighth gradewith autism in MonfortHeights.
According to the applica-tion with Montgomery, if theschool were to grow to morethan 45 students it would haveto apply for an expansion fromthe city.

COLUMBUS — Dozens ofwitnesses.
One message: No morecuts to school funding.
Cincinnati-area educa-tors flocked to the State-house on Thursday to pro-test a school-funding pro-posal they say will crippletheir schools.
It’s part of the push-back to the budget intro-duced Tuesday by HouseRepublicans. The propos-al offers more overallmoney to schools – an ex-tra $179 million comparedwith the plan Gov. JohnKasich offered in the win-ter. But House Republi-cans agreed with Kasichthat the state should startphasing out money dis-tricts have received foryears as a reimbursementfor the discontinued “tan-gible personal propertytax,” or TPP.
The end result is 93 dis-tricts would end up withless state funding over thetwo-year budget.
Princeton City Schoolsboard member SteveMoore told House repre-sentatives that in 2007,Princeton got $24 millionfrom TPP reimburse-ment. That’s dropped to$16.1million, about 24 per-cent of the district’s over-all budget.
To span the gap,Princeton had to pass alevy, cut 150 positions,trim programs and cutbenefits, Moore said.
The district can’t ab-sorb much more, he said.
“We know the impact
of this decision,” he said,“and we hope and prayyou do, too.”
At its core, the issuehas become one of he-said, she-said. Some legis-lators say the TPP reim-bursement was alwaysmeant to be temporary – away to help school dis-tricts ease into the newfunding model.
Educators, however,say that’s a lie.
Further complicatingthe matter is the fact theTPP tax was eliminatedabout a decade ago, somany of the legislators in-office at the time havesince moved on.
“About every twoyears, we’ve had to comeand fight for the TPP re-imbursement,” saidPrinceton interim super-intendent Edward The-roux. “What we’re askingfor is a permanent fix. ...There was a promise thatwe would be made whole.”
Statewide, Mason City
Schools would take thebiggest cut over the two-year course of the budget,$3.6 million, according topreliminary projections.
Lakota is second, slat-ed to lose $3.1 million, fol-lowed by Princeton, down$1.7 million.
The cuts are slimmerthan what Kasich initiallyproposed, but educatorssay that at a time the stateis thriving, any cut is toolarge. And, with TPP, theyforesee a slow slide tonothing.
The budget hearingsstarted at 9 a.m. Thursdayand continued well intothe afternoon.
Representatives fromMason, Lakota and Syca-more schools were also onthe docket to testify.
Rep. Alicia Reece, D-Cincinnati, said she hasbeen “inundated” by callsand emails about TPP, andshe’s open to working onan amendment that wouldfix the issue.

Sycamore High Schoolgraduate Nick Setser isgetting an early start onhis new business endeav-or – serving as a branchmanager for StudentPainters LLC exteriorpainting business.
His weekends are now
filled with hiring employ-ees, marketing himself topotential clients andscheduling jobs.
“Ideally, I want to run a$70,000 business over thesummer,” he said. Thiswould require him to havebetween 40-50 clients. Sofar the Ohio State Univer-sity sophomore’s businessis off to a good start hav-
ing secured two jobs in hisfirst two weeks of busi-ness. As of Feb. 28, he hadsix more estimates linedup.
Setser acknowledgedthat starting up is the mostdifficult part.
“A mentor goes aroundwith me and does the first10 estimates with me,” hesaid. When meeting with
clients and offering a freeestimate, Setser doessomething that’s difficultfor many – sells himself.Using a client manual, heshares information aboutStudent Painters LLC andthe fact that the companyhas an A-plus rating withthe Better Business Bu-reau. Then he shares a fewof his own success stories.
These include being aNational Merit Scholar fi-nalist, a scholar athleteand member of the 2013Sycamore High SchoolGreater Miami Confer-ence Conference co-champion basketball team(he quickly pointed outthat this is a special high-light to him). Setser islooking forward to com-pleting a few jobs whichhe can then include in hisportfolio.
Setser describes him-self as a motivated self-starter. While in middleschool he had a paperroute for the NortheastSuburban Life because hethought it would be fun.Upon entering high schoolhe had to give up the paperroute as he focused on hislearning and athletics.
“I played basketballand baseball all fouryears,” he said. “I rancross country one yearand played golf one year. Ilove sports and playedbasketball and baseballmy whole life. I love theReds. I love the Bengals. Ilove Ohio State too. That’show I ended up there.”
As a high school juniorand senior, Setser man-aged to balance scholarathlete status, member-ship on school sportsteams and a job with PennStation.
This summer, he hopeshis employment will pro-vide more than just tuitionmoney. For Setser, hisbranch manager positionwith Student Painters willbe a resume builder. Right
now he’s still evaluatinghis future career optionsbut his major is businessfinance with a minor inpsychology.
“My dream job wouldbe working in the financedepartment for the Cin-cinnati Reds,” he said.
Right now, his focus ison Student Painters anddelivering quality exteri-or painting for homeown-ers.
Setser has officiallyhired two people butneeds a crew of five to sixhardworking individuals.They have to be at least 18or older. Ideally, the crewmembers will be highschool seniors or collegestudents looking to earnmoney over the summer.Setser is also eagerly pro-viding free estimates tohomeowners interested inhaving the exterior oftheir home painted.
Michael Plunkett isSetser’s mentor and re-gional manager in Fair-field. He noted in an emailthat Student Painters is amajor affiliate of YoungEntrepreneurs AcrossAmerica, an organizationgiving students the toolsto become the next greatentrepreneurs throughthe medium of runninghis/her own painting com-pany while simultaneous-ly helping them earn tu-ition for the consecutiveacademic years.
For information aboutemployment with Setser’steam or getting an esti-mate, contact Setser at(513) 505-8934.

APRIL 30, 2015 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • 7ANEWS
When we plow the garden for oursummer vegetables and flowers, thegrandkids repeat what my own kidsasked when they were little: “Are yougoing to plant potatoes, onions and
carrots?” The answer, ofcourse, is always yes.
Digging for potatoesor pulling up onions orcarrots out of theground is like findingburied treasure. Thenice thing about grow-ing these three veggiesis that they can begrown in the ground orin a container, like abushel basket.
We especially like new potatoesfreshly dug from the garden. Here’s ayummy recipe using a different tech-nique for cooking them.
Readers want to know:What’s the best mint for Juleps and
how do you make them?Spearmint for sure. Make a simple
syrup of 2 cups each sugar and water,add about 1 cup mint leaves, smooshwith spoon to release flavor, and boiluntil sugar dissolves. Cool and strain.
Fill an 8oz. glass with crushed ice,add mint syrup to taste (start withabout 4 tablespoons and go from there.Some people like it real sweet andminty, up to 1/2 cup) and up to 4 table-spoons Kentucky bourbon. Stir realquick to make the glass frost on theoutside and garnish with a mint sprig.
Earth Day fun!So much fun sharing seeds and
planting annuals with grandkids Evaand her class at Kilgour School andJack and Will at Guardian AngelsSchool. Thanks to Natorp’s for supply-ing plants.

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

A publication of
April 23 questionNow that the U.S. is “normal-
izing” relations with Cuba, andhas removed it from the list ofstate sponsors of terrorism,how will this benefit or hurt theU.S.? Would you be more or lesslikely to visit Cuba? Why or whynot?
“There are many thingsabout our history with theCommunist Cuban govern-ment, that are not America’sproudest moments. That beingsaid, I see absolutely no bene-fit to the U.S. in recognizingCuba, as long as it is underCastro. If the former resi-dents, through Congress, re-quest 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 dothe same to terrorist nationslike Iran and Cuba.
“BTW I found the beachesat Guantanamo Bay to be
some of the most beautiful inthe world on numerous occa-sions. Probably, Marriottcould build a five star resortthere in place of the TalibanTowers Resort. I’m still wait-ing to go to the Hilton that Iwas sure would be built onNha Trang’s beach.”
D.B.
“I’ve known many peoplethat have been able to go toCuba under the guise of artis-tic or university/academic-sponsored trips, so although itwas off limits to the casual
U.S. citizen there were waysto travel there.
“I think Cuba will benefit interms of tourism dollars andas for the U.S. it could becomea popular destination for vaca-tions and leisure.
“The importance of thisthawing is that the Cubanpeople reap some type of ben-efit both in terms of economicand societal. I believe theyhave been harmed the most bytheir system of governmentand our cutting of ties.”
“Although I was in highschool during the Reaganyears, I never felt that Cubawas in any way a threat to theUnited States. I am surprisedit took this long for the U.S. tonormalize relations withthem.”
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 yetto be seen, but it will absolute-ly be a significant benefit to
the Cuban people. The tourismdollars alone flooding intotheir economy will be wellreceived and create a starttoward reliving a noticeableportion of the suffering en-dured daily by the populace.
“Yes, it remains a Commu-nist society and the trickledown to the common folk fromthe new-found largesse maybe slow, but people’s livesshould start to improve. Othertrade deals and investmentfrom American companieswill help as well. As far asbenefiting the USA, one canhope that more Americansgaining a first-hand view intothe myriad failures inherentin a Communist society, andby close extension socialism,will result in a ground swellarising to turn sharply awayfrom the socialism path downwhich Obama has steered ourcountry.
“I support this change inrelationship between our twocountries and look forward tosomeday visiting our Car-ibbean neighbor.”
M.J.F.
“It was time to re-establishrelations with Cuba. I fearhowever that it could emulatethe flow of illegal aliens thathas been going on from Mex-ico. The U.S. is not equipped tofinancially handle any more ofthat.
“I have no desire to visitCuba. It could have been an-other Las Vegas or MiamiBeach, but for Castro’s lack ofvision. Communism has failedthere and in North Korea. GoFigure!”
T.D.T.
“Why not visit Cuba? “Perhaps we can visit one
of the prisons for politicalprisoners or better yet one ofthe ICBM bases they weregoing to use to send nuclearbombs to the US. But first let'sfind one of those ‘top notch’doctors Bruce Healey talksabout. Maybe we can get him abrain transplant, since hebelieves we should open tradeto the only country that wasreceiving Russian missiles todestroy the U.S.”

According to the SouthernPoverty Law Center, the fol-lowing Ku Klux Klan groupsare active in my old homestate: Indiana:
Madison - Fraternal Orderof the Cross
Kokomo - Ku Klos Knightsof the Ku Klux Klan
Monroe - City Ku KlosKnights of the Ku Klux Klan
Kokomo - Loyal WhiteKnights of the Ku Klux Klan
The Indiana UniversityDepartment of History says:“During the 1920s, 5 millionAmericans joined the Ku KluxKlan, making Indiana’s Klanthe largest, most enthusiastic,and most politically powerfulKlan in the country.
“Between one-fourth andone-third of native-born whiteHoosier males joined the
group, andthere wereauxiliary or-ganizations forwomen andchildren. At itspeak in 1925,Indiana‘s Klancould boastmore mem-bers than theMethodistChurch, the
state’s leading denomination.The Klan’s legislative programfor 1925 was directed againstparochial schools and Catholicinfluence in public schools.
“As a political influence, theKlan faded quickly in Indiana,but its social and cultural influ-ence dovetailed more subtlyinto Hoosier life. Klan litera-ture capitalized on American
racism, nativism, patriotism,and traditional moral and fam-ily values. Klan members tar-geted blacks, Catholics, andJews, but also immigrants,political radicals, feminists,intellectuals, gamblers, boot-leggers, thrill-seeking teen-agers, and motion picture pro-ducers. In one sense, Indiana’sKlan was a populist organiza-tion: it engaged communityinterests, presented a programof action, and promised politi-cal changes. The Klan’s mes-sage of patriotism, Americansuperiority, and ProtestantChristianity united native-bornHoosiers across many lines –gender, geography (north andsouth), class (white and bluecollar), religious (many de-nominations of Protestants),and residential (urban and
rural). But this populist clubalso propagated a negative andwicked influence.”
So, you now know why atti-tudes in Indiana are the waythey are today. It has a longhistory of discrimination byrace, ethnicity and religion.
In high school, I was captainof the rifle team and presidentof the Rifle Club. We had anational championship teamunder the direction of a cham-pion coach, Harley “Doc”Francis. Occasionally, wewould take road trips to shootagainst other schools.
On one such trip, we weretaking the school bus, an oldGreyhound, from New Albany,Indiana, to Culver MilitaryAcademy near Chicago.
It was an overnight trip, aswe did not have the budget for
hotel accommodations. Veryearly in the morning, westopped at an all-night dinerfor something to eat.
The bus unloaded and wefilled the modest restaurantand began to be seated. Sud-denly there was a problem!“We can’t seat him; we don’tserve blacks.”
For the first time, we real-ized that we had a black on ourteam.
What the Hell, Charlie (nothis real name) was family! Ifwe didn’t know he was black,why the Hell should you?
He walked back to the bus; Iwas close behind. He wascrushed! Indiana, I have neverforgiven you!

DISCRIMINATION IN INDIANA
JamesBakerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Now that Pete Rose hasformally requested reinstate-ment into Major League Base-ball, we should reconsider howthe Hall of Fame blackballedhim.
Regardless of his violatingRule 22, Baseball’s cardinal sinsince the Black Sox Scandal,and his failure to pay federaltaxes, Rose’s on-field perfor-mance gives him the right to beconsidered for recognition inCooperstown. The time hasarrived for the Hall to reopenits doors and at least allowRose’s name on the ballot.
Pete Rose hustled on thediamond from his first at-batthrough hit 4,192. After 24 sea-sons, he attained a long list ofrecords. After benching him-self when player-manager, hiscompulsions took over. Hisgambling and running withthugs is well documented in the
Dowd Report,in film, and inthe CincinnatiEnquirer. Hewas kicked outof MajorLeague Base-ball, went tofederal prison,and then wasdenied a spotin Cooper-stown.
Pete has been punished fornearly as many seasons as heplayed. Though he publiclydenied betting on baseball untilhis memoir “My Prison WithoutBars” in 2004, he has beenforthright in his admissionssince. His chief crime is that hebet on his team to win. Therehave been exhaustive effortsand ample time to find if hethrew any games. Rose’s roughpals during his nadir have sung
like canaries to federal authori-ties and to journalists and don’tallege wrongdoing beyond thatwhich Rose has already ad-mitted and served time.
The most undemocraticmove was how the Hall of Famebarred Rose as biographerKostya Kennedy documents inhis complete, unbiased andcandid examination of the “HitKing, Pete Rose: An AmericanDilemma.” MLB and Cooper-stown are separate, indepen-dent entities. Because MLBfound that Rose bet on baseball,the Hall could still induct him.Then-commissioner Bart Gia-matti even answered a sports-writer’s question at Rose’s pub-lic indictment. Taking a ques-tion at the 1989 press confer-ence, he answered, “You willdecide whether he belongs inthe Hall of Fame.”
As Rose was paroled during
the fifth year after his lastat-bat, the Hall suddenly barredanyone on the MLB’s perma-nently ineligible list from theHall’s ballot. From 1919 untilthat moment, even Shoeless JoeJackson was eligible, but thejournalist-voters never votedhim in. With the infamous RoseResolution, our wise guardiansof the Cooperstown shrine can-not make that determination. Tomake a statement in whatwould have been No. 14’s firstyear of eligibility, 41 sportswrit-ers voted for Rose anyway.
Polls have shown baseballfans favor inducting Rose. Apoll taken just before his 2004admissions showed two-thirdsof those who thought he hadgambled on baseball still fa-vored allowing him into theHall. A 2012 Rasmussen pollshowed 59 percent believe heshould be honored in Cooper-
stown, while 29 percent said heshould not.
Whether it is still worthenforcing Rule 22 to protect theintegrity of the game, as in-vestigator John Dowd insists, isa fair question. But while newMLB Commissioner RobManfred considers Rose’s-request for reinstatement, theHall of Fame should repeal the25-year-old public relationsmove designed to keep CharlieHustle out of Cooperstown andafford him the same demo-cratic process all those beforehim received.

The John L. MagroFoundation willcelebrate thelegacy of John
Magro, whose contribu-tions to the business, civ-ic, and philanthropic or-ganizations in Cincinnatiand abroad are legendary,at Arts Sensation, an eve-ning of music and artfrom 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.Sunday, May 3, at the Pe-terloon Estate, 8605Hopewell Road, IndianHill.
The highlight of theevent is the display of tal-ent exhibited by the per-formers and artists. Theguests enjoy the intimacyof the venue and the con-versations with the artistsand performers.
At the event, the art-work of students from theUniversity of CincinnatiCollege of Design, Art, Ar-chitecture and Planning(DAAP), the NorthernKentucky University)and Miami Universitywill be highlighted in thelibrary. The art studentsdiscuss their interests,goals, and their artworkbefore the musical pro-gram.
Many of these studentsare award winners.
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 mu-sic group who reinventsclassical for today's audi-ence.
Created in 2000 by Dr.Victoria Pfeil to continueher father’s legacy, thefoundation is a tax-ex-empt charity organizedexclusively for educa-
tional scholarships spe-cific to the fine arts andsciences. The foundationhas awarded more than$116,000 in scholarshipsassisting more than 180students.
The John L MagroFoundation board wascreated by individuals
from the community whoserve on a volunteer ba-sis. All contributions aretax deductible. Scholar-ship awards are based ondemonstration of need aswell as talent and academ-ic milestones. Studentsare welcome to apply forthe grants with recom-
mendation from theirteachers and coaches.
Tickets are $100 perperson, or $150 for two.Cocktails and light farewill be served.
The zeal and passionwith which he served hiscommunity was fueled byan event, which happened
when, 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 boybecame determined tosurvive and do every-thing in his power to “re-pay the gift of borrowedtime”.
As the “borrowedtime” went on and Johnmatured, he grew to real-ize his 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 occupa-tion with much of his ef-fort directed toward thelyric arts. Known as Cin-cinnati’s “MusicMan,” heserved as president andgeneral manager of theCincinnati Opera, makingmany recordings andmanagingmore than 60grand operas for the Cin-cinnati Summer OperaAssociation.
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.
