In just a few days, highschool andcollegestudentsattending Armstrong Cha-pel United MethodistChurch made an impactacross the world.

The church sent a groupof 16, which combined stu-dents and adults, to Mala-wi, located in southeast Af-rica, for a mission trip.

Armstrong first at-tempted an internationalyouth ministry in 2010,sending a group of 16 to

Haiti. Due to the cost andscope of themission, YouthPastor Lee Tyson said thechurch is attempting tomake international tripsevery other year.

Tyson said this year’smission had students andadults from the church,along with several otherchurches, laying the foun-dation for the nationalheadquarters for theChurch of God in Malawi.

While much of the workcould have been done withlarge machinery, Tysonsaid Malawi isn’t nearly asdeveloped as the UnitedStates, so theworkwaspre-dominately done by hand.

“It was the most gruel-ing, physically exhaustivelabor I have encountered,”he said.

Those on the missionworked five days duringthe mission trip, whichlasted from July 19 to Aug.2.

Armstrong’s PeggyCrane, who attended themission trip, said the tripnot only helped those inMalawi, but thestudentsonthe trip as well.

Tyson said there weremanydiscussionswith hes-itant parents and studentsabout traveling so far fromhome in themonths leadingup to the trip.

Cranesaidwhile thestu-dents had nice accommo-dations for their stay, therewere days in which theyran out of electricity andwater, and the languagebarriers were also chal-lenging.

“We realized howspoiled we were,” she said.

Katie Keiser, junior atUniversity of Cincinnati,said one of her favoriteparts of trip was attending

church while on the trip.The conditions were muchdifferent during the three-hour service, but attendeessang what they wantedwhen they wanted to, andthere was no set time for itto end.

“It was a really big hon-or to be there,”Keiser said.

Rachel Nelson, a seniorat Mariemont High School,said one of the most enter-taining aspects of the tripwas playing games withthe children there. She saidthe group attempted toteach them“the hokeypok-ey,” but the purpose of thesong may have been lost intranslation.

“They probably didn’thave any idea what wewere saying, but they didthe movements and sang,”Nelson said.

Shakespeare andCharles Dickens played arole in an educator’s re-cent success.

GregMartin, who is anacademic dean and ninth-gradeEnglish andhistoryteacher at CincinnatiCountry Day School, wasamong 100 educators se-lected to participate in arecent Microsoft Part-ners in Learning Forum.

“Not only do I get toshow what I’m doing, butI get to see the best of thebest throughout the coun-try,” he said.

Projects are submit-ted and then reviewed bya team of judges with avariety of backgrounds.

Each project relates totechnology in some wayand involves innovativeteaching, said Martin.

Martin’s submissionwas a documentary pre-pared by his studentscalled “Secrets of theDead: Writers at Home.”

The documentary ex-amined a specific writerand time period and fea-

tured four 10 to 12 minutevideos focusing on Hom-er, Shakespeare, Dickensand Confucius.

“Our (project) re-quired small group col-laboration,” said Martin.“It involved traditionaland electronic research.”

Martin, who is a resi-dent of Mariemont, saidthe project was totallystudent-driven. althoughhe did prepare a small in-troduction explaining the

project in relation to theforum.

Martin collaboratedon the project with anoth-er Cincinnati CountryDay School teacher, Jere-miah McCall.

The documentary willbe featured along withother submissions in theonline Microsoft Part-ners in Learning Net-work. For informationvisit the site www.pil-net-work.com.

Foreign language class-es at Indian Hill MiddleSchool are about to getphysical.

Applying what waslearned at a recent foreignlanguage forum, Spanishteachers Lisa Schauer, Hil-ary Smith and JenniferStidham will incorporatesome new techniques inforeign language instruc-tion at the school.

This approach will in-volve more than just mem-orizing facts from a text-book. It’s engaging the stu-dents in away that involvesall of the senses, saidSmith, who is a resident ofMilford.

To illustrate her point,Smith explained how sheand the others will usemaps inwhich the studentswill jump to Mexico ortouchGuatemalawith theirright hand.

Smith, Schauer andStidham spent a recentWednesday drawing 15maps that will be used intheir classes.

This style of learningencompasses more thanjust geography, though.

Other sessions at the In-ternational Forum on Lan-guage Teaching included

howyogaanddramacanbeincorporated into a foreignlanguage lesson.

“(It’s) making languagecomprehensible to all stu-dents, said Stidham, who is

a resident of Loveland.Participants at the fo-

rum had an opportunity toattend a variety of work-shops led by experts in thefield, according toSchauer.

INDIANHILL—Goals are be-ing scored off Given Road anddribbling is underway off ofDrakeas the IndianHill Journalgirls soccer squads prepare foranother season.

At Cincinnati Country Day,head coachTheresaHirschauerwill begin her 23rd season ofcoaching with a team she be-lieves could be dangerous.

The Lady Indians went 11-7-1a season ago andwon theMiamiValley Conference. Eight start-ers from that squad will returnfor the 2012 campaign, accord-ing to Hirschauer.

“I think we will have a teamthat plays very hard for 80min-utes and will make things hap-pen,” Hirschauer said by email.

The Lady Indians will belooking for a scorer to emergeand should get help from juniormidfielder Ashley Streit andstriker Kelsey Zimmers.

Hirschauer will also becharged with the task of replac-ing All-City defender, Ari Knue,who graduated last spring.

Seniors JuliaMurphy, CassieSachs, Olivia June and SallyPortman should shore up CCD’sdefensive efforts.

The squad opens the seasonagainst theMiamiValley Schoolat home Aug. 20.

IndianHill returns a19-2 (7-0CHL) team that won a league,sectional anddistrict champion-ship last season and suffered adouble overtime loss in the re-gional finals.

For her 2012 efforts, LadyBraves coach Amy Dunlap wasnamed CHL coach of the year.

She could reach 200 careerwins with another 19 victoriesand she returns several keyplayers from last fall, includingseniors Liz Slattery, TaylorJackson, Liz Dammeyer, Ra-chael Ballish, MattieMeyer, Sa-ra Lance and Katie Aicholz.

Slattery was first team all-State, the leading scorer in theCHL and has made a verbalcommitment to Florida; Jack-son has verballed toMiami Uni-versity;Dammeyer was firstteam all-league and has college

interest; and Ballish has ver-balled to Belmont University.

Supplementing the seniors isjunior Paige Gloster, the sec-ond-leading scorer and sopho-more Macy Miller who startedevery game as a freshman ondefense.

“In the past two seasons, wehave scored168goals andwere-turnmostofourmidfieldandof-fensive players,” Dunlap said.“Scoring has been spreadamong several players. Whilecontinuing a history of strongdefensive units, we want tomaintain our attacking mental-ity.”

Dunlap pinpoints commit-ment to offseason work andsomerisingyoungerplayers forher 2012 optimism.

The Lady Braves begin thecampaign Aug. 21 at homeagainst Summit Country Day.

The girls at the CincinnatiHills Christian Academyturned in solid 7-6-5 record lastseason and many individualsfrom the squad are set to returnthis fall, which has head coachAbby Schumacher excitedabout her team’s chances.

“Our team only graduatedthree seniors last season, whichmeans this year will be almostthe same roster. I’m looking for-ward to building on what this

A publication of

Last week’s questionWould you vote for an atheist

for president? Why or why not?

“Iwould vote for an 'agnostic,’but not an atheist. My reason isthat I am pretty convinced thathuman beings cannot scientifi-cally prove or disprove the exis-tence of God. I am betting that heis real, but I don't know for cer-tain.

As I understand 'atheism' it isa firm belief that there is no God.If a person can come to this con-clusion without proof, thatdoesn't inspire me to have confi-dence in him or her.”

Bill B.

“Why not? There is supposedto be separation of church andstate. The president it not sup-posed to be making decisionsbased on religious beliefs.

“From the standpoint of aMuslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Jew,a Christian is an atheist becausehe or she believes in a differentreligion. Religion should have nopart in the election or in the waythe president governs.”

F.S.D.

“Heck yes! One last thingthey'll be beholding to. Religionhas no place in politics, only eth-ics.

“I have known many moral,ethical people in my life, somewith religious beliefs and somewith none. As long as they don'tproselytize, all beliefs are theirsand need not be shared.”

J.Z.

“No, I wouldn't vote for anavowed atheist for president orany other elected office. I don'texpect my political leaders toshare my religious faith, but I doexpect them tohave amoral com-pass that transcends and sur-

passes human wisdom. Such amoral foundation can only berooted in a basic understandingand belief that there is a power inthe universe greater than our-selves, to whom we will one daybe held accountable.

“A person whose morality isrooted no deeper than the shift-ing sands of human wisdom is aperson too easily swayed by pop-ular opinion or political conve-nience. My vote goes to someonewho can say, 'There is a God, andI'm not him.'”

R.W.J.

“I believe there is an atheist inthe White House right now and Ialso believe he is not the first.

“So if a candidate announcedhe isanatheist itwouldalldependon his resume and that of his op-ponent. After all, we've put liars,thieves and adulterers into theWhite House, what's the big dealover an atheist?”

R.V.

“Iwould vote for anyone that Ithought would do a good job. Sad-ly religion plays a smaller andsmaller part in a lot of people'slives. Right now I think that bothcandidates are lacking a lot.”

D.D.

“I wonder how an atheistwould handle the oath of office.

An agnostic might finish it, 'sohelp me, maybe, or maybe not'.”

F.N.

“I will vote for a presidentialcandidatewho has better policiesthan the other one.Or two or five.

“Religion is supposed to be afreedom in the United States. Iwill vigorously oppose any candi-date who belongs to a religionwhich presumes that its freedommust allow it to discriminateagainst the freedoms of others,unless he or she explicitly dis-avowshis religion as taking prec-edence over his patriotism.There is historical precedencefor that.

“As a corollary, I will opposeany candidate who is more hypo-critical than any other.”

N.F.

“Depends. I prefer a candi-date who espouses views similarto my own on many issues with abelief in the Almighty being justone. However, no candidate everagrees with me 100 percent!

“If a belief in an Almighty be-ing is not held by a candidate, Iwould judge this person based onmany other issues. A lack of be-lief does not preclude my votingfor a candidate. I am more con-cerned about a person who at-tends a church where the pastorcalls on God to damn the UnitedStates. Even worse, that personsends his children to the samechurch to hear such hate over aperiod of many years.

“I feel reassured when I seemy president attending a churchservice and he/she is on theirknees praying to the Almighty.Then, IgetagoodfeelingbecauseI feel he/she is recognizing thatthe Almighty wants to help eachof us and it doesn't hurt to ask.Weclaim to be one nation underGod.I'd likemypresident to share this

belief.”T.J.

“I certainly would, assumingall of his/her political credentialswere to my liking.

“I donot consider religiousbe-lief or activity (or the lack there-of) a requirement for the job ofpresident – or for any job, for thatmatter. (That would be discrimi-nation, by the way, and is againstthe law.)

“I also should add that I findthe assumption that people whodo not hold some particular reli-gious view must be in some waymorally/spiritually bankrupt orsomehow evil to be ignorant andinsulting.”

E.M.S.

“Imight vote for an atheist forpresident of the U.S. It would de-pend on his/her views on issuesthat matter to me, not on his/herlack of belief in God.

“How concerned someone iswith the needs of all Americans,especially the poor and minor-ities, is what I look for in a presi-dent as a leader. Faith or lack offaith inGod is nomore importantthan the candidates ethnicity orgender to me."

T.Rog.

“When I vote I do not considera candidates religious beliefs oraffiliations. Inmy opinion, that isa very personal issue and I do notthink it would have any bearingon governing or setting policy.With the Constitution establish-ing freedom of religion that rightextends to freedom from reli-gion.”

I.P.

“I would vote for an atheistand have no problem with that. Ido not look at religious back-groundasaprerequisite. Inawaythis is like asking would you votefor a Catholic, Mormon, Muslim,Buddhist?? I would not vote foran Evangelical Christian not be-cause of their religion but be-cause they most likely would notsupport my political views.”

K.F.S.

“I absolutely would not votefor an atheist to be president ofourwonderful country.Ourcoun-trywasbuilt on the strong frame-work of In God We Trust. Thiswas the thinking of our forefa-thers and has proven to be a suc-cessful foundation which hasmade us a great nation.”

Neither Obama nor Romney is worthyof the presidency! Neither man has theability to persuade his own party; plus,enough members of the opposing party,to implement the policies needed toelevate the United States from our fi-nancial depression.

If implemented, the financial plan ofthe ‘New Republicans’ will immediatelyplunge us into a recession. They provideno specifics for gently unwinding, overtime, the administrative nightmarescreated by both parties, over many dec-ades. For instance, in a time of droughtthey should outlaw the use of corn tomake ethanol.

Obama was unable to sell his healthcare program, even to his own Demo-cratic party. Lobbyists for the healthcare industry (not including our doctors)wrote the health care legislation.

To this day, we really do not know allthat is in the program, its cost, or how itwill influence our long-term health careneeds. A handful of this laws provisionsare greatly needed. Pre-existing condi-tions and no caps on payment would beat the top of the list.

The ‘New Republicans’ have no healthcare plan. Their plan is “every man forhimself” vs. insurance companies, drugcompanies, doctors and hospitals. This isnot socially acceptable!

Romney is not ready for the worldstage! His comments at the Olympics,and elsewhere, indicate that he has notbeen taught the first rule of diplomacy;which is, you do not speak ill of yourcountry, its officials, or its policies, nordo you speak ill of the host country, itsofficials, and its policies.

A few advisers surrounding Romney

are from the sewer ofsociety. Any adviserwho challenges report-ers with “Kiss my A**”must be immediatelyfired, publicly, with astatement that ‘suchpublic behavior is notcondoned, and is unac-ceptable’.

Romney did not dothis, meaning that hecondones such com-

mentary by his staff, on foreign soil.This speaks to the candidate’s character,that he surrounds himself with suchgarbage.

I personally resent President Oba-ma’s comment, “If you've got a business,you didn't build that.”

Yes, I heard the rest of his speech; butthis was just too stupid for words. Hadhe modified these words with “…youdidn’t build that alone,” he would havebeen correct; but, he did not, meaningthat he actually believes this.

The ‘New Republicans’ offered anumber of unattractive candidates forpresident. The dissatisfaction with thesecandidates has resulted in the final of-fering (compromise) of Romney.

Our country continues to be grosslymismanaged, by both parties. The ‘NewRepublicans’ must offer specifics oftheir economic plans, if they want ourvote.

Old Republicans ... it is time for achange! The ‘New Republicans’ arecrazy! Reconsider your vote!

Is Mitt Romney reallyready for Prime Time?

JamesBakerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Ask the Army how much it spendsto recruit and train a soldier from thetime that individual first walks into arecruiting station until he or she hasfinished basic training and a course ofadvanced training.

The answer is easy to find: $73,000.Ask the National Guard what it

gets for the $72.3 million it spends onprofessional sports sponsorships andthe answer is considerably less pre-cise.

I like auto racing, and my familyhas had a long and happy associationwith motorsports. My father, the lateGus Hoffman, started an auto racingteam in 1929. It used to field cars atthe Indianapolis 500, and it continuesto compete in U.S. Auto Club events.

I helped out with that small familybusiness. I know what it costs to raceeach week, and I recognize the greatneed for good sponsors. So I’m not outto pick on people who like fast cars. Ilike them, too.

But I have never believed that taxdollars should be spent on sponsoringa sporting event. I believe membersof Congress should be trying to savetaxpayers money, not squandering it.

We are facing a budgetary crisis.Right now, our nation is about $16trillion in the hole. The federal deficithas been more than $1 trillion annu-ally for the last four years, and Presi-dent Obama’s budget projects annualdeficits averaging $750 billion overthe next 10 years. Clearly, it is time todo something different.

Congress needs to take a hard lookat how we’re spending your money. Itmust be willing to pull the plug if that

money is being spentin a way that doesn’tgive us the most bangfor the buck – nomatter who it mightoffend.

That is why I wasso disappointed whenthe House recentlyrefused to end thepractice of U.S. mil-itary sponsorship ofprofessional sports.

The vote was 216 to 202 against endingthe program, which began back in theearly 2000s in an attempt to find waysto increase military recruitment. It istime to end the experiment.

According to recent reports, theNational Guard is spending some$26.5 million this fiscal year to spon-sor a NASCAR race team. This spon-sorship has resulted in an impressivenumber of inquiries – 24,800. But only20 of those inquiries were from qual-ified candidates, and none of thosepotential recruits actually joined theNational Guard.

Military recruitment is surgingbecause of our poor economy – and, atthe same time, our nation is actuallyin the process of reducing the size ofour military as a way to cut expendi-tures.

But, we didn’t get so far in debtover night.

And as we look to tighten our belts,every penny counts.

We are down to the last rowof corn, so I’ve been blanchingand freezing it.

I like to blanch the whole earsand then take the kernels off. Iput the whole ear into the center

hole of an angelfood pan and itkeeps it stable sothe corn kernelsdon’t fly every-where. I am al-ways amazed athowmany ears ofcorn it takes tofill a pint jar, atleast three.

And if you’regrowing flowers

like petunias and they are look-ing leggy, go ahead and pinchthem back. It will take a coupleof weeks but you’ll get a newflush of blooms. I like to givethem a light dose of fertilizer,too. My zinnias and marigoldsare starting to go to seed and I’mgoing to save seeds for nextyear. Think about doing thatyourself. It’s a lot less expensivethan store-bought seeds and agood lesson for the kids to bestewards of their environment.

Update on Silverglade’schicken salad clone

As mentioned previously,Annie Hoffman’s recipe forchicken salad (her version ofthis popular salad) is not therecipe that Silverglade’s makesand sells. Their recipe is propri-etary and Mike Silverglade said

Annie’s recipe is not even closeto his recipe. To get the “realdeal,” stop by Silverglades attheir Findlay Market location ortheir deli at Eighth and Syca-more streets in downtown Cin-cinnati.

Rocky Road fudge forkids to make

The last couple of years, mygrandsons Luke, Will and Jackhave submitted items to thejunior division at our ClermontCounty Fair. This year theymade fudge, cinnamon spiralsand decorated cupcakes. Theywere so excited, as usual. Ibrought their offerings in, but Iwas a bit late in getting themthere, so their items couldn’t bejudged. They did get ribbons forparticipation and I learned avaluable lesson. This fudgerecipe is easy and really good,an excellent starter recipe forkids wanting to learn to cook.

or up to a couple hours in therefrigerator. Thread pork, pep-pers and onions alternately ontoskewers. Grill 10 minutes oruntil pork is done, turning occa-sionally. Be careful here as porkcooks quickly.

You may not know it,but tires can wear out –even if there’s plenty oftread left on them. Insome instances, even thecar tires you buy newmaybe too old. That’s what aCollege Hill womanlearned.

Kathleen Metzgerbought four new tiresearlier this year and, aftera few months, she startednoticing problems. “It feltlike it was out of align-ment really bad. You hadto have your hands on thewheel pretty firm in orderto keep it corrected,”Metzger said.

Metzger’s husband Kenput on a spare tire and, ashe did, he saw the prob-lem with the recentlypurchased tire. “I saw youcould see the belt right atthe end of the tire. Thesetires are falling apart.There are all these micro-cracks and fissures in thetires. I knew that wasprobably what the prob-lem was,” he said.

They went back to thestore that had sold thetires, but were told theywere only able to get awarranty based on the

tread wearof the prob-lem tires.Metztgerthen wentto anothertire storewhere theDepart-ment ofTrans-portation

identification waschecked on the tire’s side-wall.

The first two numbersof the identification tellthe week in which the tirewas made – in the case ofone of her tires it wasweek 13. The next num-bers tell you the year inwhich it was made – inthat case it simply said 4,which meant 1994.

“He really didn’t lookat all four tires, he justlooked at one and told methat they shouldn’t be onthe car because they’reway outdated,” Metzgersaid.

The tires Metzgerbought new are actually 17years old. Clearly, thetires sat on a store shelffor years before theywere sold. And technically

there is no expiration dateon tires, but now the gov-ernment says after sixyears tires tend to rot andcan be dangerous.

Metzger said as a re-sult of what she’s learned,“I’m very concerned. Ihaven’t been driving mycar for the last few days. Ijust would like a refund orall new tires.” So, I con-tacted the store that soldthe tires and the ownertold me he was unaware ofthe age of the tires whenhe sold them. Given thatthe tires are deterioratingafter less than a year, he’snow given her a completerefund.

Remember, tires candeteriorate inside even ifthey look alright on theoutside. The NationalHighway Traffic SafetyAdministration says tiresare only good for six to 10years. Anything olderthan that, it says, are justnot safe on the roads.

Kathy O’Keefe and herhusband, Jim, haveworkedsince they were youngteens and never asked any-one for anything.

Things have changedsinceamanbroke into theirdaughter’s home May 6,2011, and stabbed and beattheir daughter and theirson, who was knifed 19times in his brain, smashedin the head with a weaponcalled a skull crusher andkicked hard enough to lac-erate his spleen.

Son Danny O’Keefe, 28,has had five surgeries inthe past year and needs ex-tensive rehabilitation, buthis insurance has come upshort.

Kathy and Jim O’Keefe,who live in Symmes Town-ship, are turning to thecommunity for monetaryhelp.

“We’re fighting to gethis life back,” KathyO’Keefe said.

“Danny has aphasia,which means he has trou-ble talking, reading andwriting – devastating to ayoung man who had justfinished law school.

“He wanted to be a de-fense attorney, to make adifference,” O’Keefe.

Danny O’Keefe was at-tacked after he went to thedefense of his sister, KellyO’Keefe, now 34 and an as-sistant Butler County pros-ecutor who handles juve-nile cases, their mothersaid.

The siblings were livingin Kelly O’Keefe’s home inFairfield and getting readyfor work when KellyO’Keefe’s former boy-friend, James Terry V ofHamilton, burst in and be-gan beating and stabbingher.

“(Terry) hid in the dark,early morning hours andforced his way in,” KathyO’Keefe said.

“Danny heard (his sis-ter’s) screams and ran toher aid, changing his lifeforever.

“(Terry) foreverchangedall of our lives thatday,” O’Keefe said.

Kathy O’Keefe, who is58 and provides daycare inher home, said she beganworrying about her ownchildren that morningwhen she could not reachKelly or Danny by phone,text or email.

“Concerned, I calledmyhusband (57, and a carpen-ter), who was working at ajob site, and told him,”

O’Keefe said.“I thought I was being

paranoid, but he needed togo check on them. He pro-ceeded topackuphisgear.”

ThenKathyO’Keefe gota call from Kelly O’Keefe,who told her mother shewas hurt but didn’t knowwhat was wrong.

Kelly O’Keefe, who hadpassed out after beingstabbed, had regained con-sciousness after six hourswhen she heard her 1-year-old German shepherdbarking.

“Her barking saved ourson’s life,” Kathy O’Keefesaid.

O’Keefe said that whenher youngest son, Kyle,now 22 and studying to be aparamedic, came to herhome she sent him to herdaughter’s home, too.

There, Jim and KyleO’Keefe found Kelly andDanny in a pool of blood.

Kelly and DannyO’Keefe were taken by he-licopter to University Hos-pital in Corryville, whereboth had brain surgery.

MADEIRA — Madeirahas a message for motor-ists bouncing along a badstretch of Dawson Road:

We feel your pain andwe’ll do something aboutit as soon it’s financiallyfeasible.

It will cost an estimat-ed $1million to fix a prob-lematic 0.8-mile-longsegment of Dawson Roadbetween Kenwood Roadand Miami Avenue, Ma-deira City Manager TomMoeller said.

Madeira hopes to get$500,000 from Ohio’sState Capital Improve-ment Programand anoth-er $100,000 from theHamiltonCountyMunici-pal Road Fund for theproject.

Madeira would con-tribute $400,000 from acity street fund with rev-enue generated by localmotor vehicle licensefees, gasoline taxes andsome general-fund mon-ey, Moeller said.

“I receive a number ofcomments from resi-dents about the conditionof the road as this is theworst street pavementwe have in the city,”Moeller said.

“Becauseof thecost ofthe project and the factthat it is eligible for out-side funding from thestate – while other localstreets are not – it is best

to leverage our local taxdollars whenever possi-ble.”

Each district in Ohiohas a rating committeethat ranks the need forState Capital Improve-ment Program fundsbased on things such asthe condition of streetsand volume of trafficthey carry.

Madeira did not re-ceive any State CapitalImprovement Programfunds for 2012.

“We are submitting anapplication for 2013 withthe hope that the projectmoves up the fundinglist,” Moeller said.

“Applications forfunding are due in Sep-tember and we hope tohearback from the ratingcommittee by the end ofthis year.”

Any state fundsawarded the DawsonRoad project would notbe available until afterJuly 1, 2013.

“I am not sure if wecould expect to have itcompletely finished be-fore the end of 2013, but Ithink we can have it sub-stantially completed bythe endof theyear exceptfor some restoration is-sues.”

The Dawson Roadwork would include newpavement and curbs,drainage improvementsand installation of a side-walk along the south sideof the street.
