Building increases safety Indian Hill’s water works upgrade protects workers By Rob Dowdy

School studying a later start time By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
The Indian Hill School Board is discussing whether to start classes later in the day. Superintendent Jane Knudson organized a task force to study the sleep patterns of students and determine whether a later start time could be beneficial. Although Knudson said the topic warrants further discussion, she said a later start time would have an impact on the bus sched-
ule as well as afternoon athletic activities. “Our current school day (is) an hour longer than required,” she said. “We don’t want to Knudson reduce instructional time.” Board member Elizabeth Johnston said her research on the topic has shown potential benefits in starting the school day later. She said these benefits have

included academic improvements and a better disposition among the students. Parent Amy Magenheim said she could also see a benefit in starting classes later in the morning. “I think older students tend to stay up later,” she said. “(Starting later) is not an easy fix, but it does merit consideration.” Knudson said the task force conducted more than 50 interviews with different school districts as well as the National Sleep Foundation.
She said the research indicated students generally benefit by having 9 to 10 hours of sleep. The high school students start their day at 7:30 a.m. while the middle school students start theirs at 7:35 a.m. Knudson said a later start would impact the pick up times for the primary and elementary school students, who start their day around 8:30 a.m. The board did not take a vote. Knudson said no changes were recommended at this time. “More work needs to be done,” she said.

the church has received about $5.25 million in pledges from its congregation. Members from the church have also voted on each stage of the process. The latest congregation vote came in January, when members voted to move to the construction design phase. Mills said the next vote could come in August, and could finalize “the absolute, final plan.” “Assuming they’re favorable again ... we’ll target to begin construction in late August,” he said. Church officials are planning informational meetings in July to give the congregation the data necessary to make an informed decision during the vote. The building renovation project has been a threeyear endeavor for the church that’s based on their long-term plans. The project consists of new classroom areas, an atrium, auditorium and children’s ministry area.

School considers additional computers By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District is weighing the possibility of providing each student in the classroom with some type of computer. “Technology changes and pricing seem to indicate this could be doable,” said Arline Pique, district technology coordinator for the Indian Hill Exempt-
Ault
ed Village School District. During a recent board meeting, Assistant Superintendent Mark Ault and Pique talked about the importance of technology in the classroom and presented a plan for 2009 through 2012. “Next year we want to spend delving into how will (technology) make a difference in student achievement and learning,” said Ault.
Pique said equipping each student with a computer is possible, but factors such as cost and technical support will need to be determined. Several teachers and principals shared how important technology was to the students. Students live in a global environment where they need to connect beyond the classroom, said Kim Miller, middle school principal. “We need the
technology to do this.” According to Pique, 83 percent of the students said it would be beneficial to have their own laptops or tablets at the school. Ault said the district will continue to do research on its technology plan in 2009 and 2010. He said the district will likely implement some of the recommendations in 2011 and 2012.

Ballet Tech Cincinnati will host improvisational workshops targeted at actors and people with some experience in comedy improvisation at its Kennedy Heights World Headquarters from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 20, and Saturday, June 27. Both workshops will be led by Melissa Whitis, trainer/coach/writer/educator and specialist in improvisation and its use in areas outside of dramatic arts, presentation skills development, team building and strengths-based innovation. Both improv workshops use a list of rules and procedures established by the forefathers of improvisation. In the workshop participants will learn: How to read an audience, communicate through body language, deliver a punch line, use the environment around you to make your present situation better, tell a story, create relationships, to value what everyone brings to the table, have grace
under pressure, increase effective communication, be capable of revising plans and staying on top of your game in the midst of crisis, and take intelligent risks. Participants will hone leadership skills such as clearing the clutter to focus on what really matters, making rapid-fire intellectual, instinctual decisions in moments of high pressure recognizing that what doesn’t happen is just as important as what does, creating an environment where strengths and talents are used to their full potential. The workshop will build upon participants’ current skills and help them take it to the next level with creative and active exercises led by the coach of The Q City Players, Missy Whitis. Workshop fee is $50 for each session. Contact Ballet Tech Cincinnati at 841-2822, info@ballettechcincinnati.org or www.ballettechcincinnati.org for more information or to learn more about workshops.

He’s a very good coach.” Moss said he was proud of what the program accomplished during his time at Indian Hill and that the team could be poised for another tremendous season in 2009-2010. “There were a lot of good people that helped make things happen, not just me. I hope the next guy they hire continues to keep that going,” he said. “They have talented kids and there’s some talent in the younger levels. There’s a good opportunity for someone to keep it going and that would make me even prouder, for them to establish a bit of tradition.”

Defending champions. Has a ring to it. And the Cincinnati Steam step onto the field Friday night with that title hanging on their team. Opening night was June 12 at Western Hills High School. They played Anderson. The Stream won the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League championship last year, a wooden bat baseball league for college players. First-year manager Joe Regruth is looking forward to the season. “There are some good players,” Regruth said. “Throw in the wood bats and I think you’ll see the player shine through.” Regruth is a teacher and baseball coach at Mariemont High School. But he has about 20 years of experience coaching. He started the baseball program at the College of Mount St. Joseph and has coached at Turpin (where he was graduated from), St. Xavier, Xavier University and University of Cincinnati. “One of the positives of the team’s roster is that it is dominated by local kids,” he said. At last 16 different high schools and nine different colleges are represented on the roster this year. The team will be led on the mound by Joey O’Gara, a 6-foot 7inch righthander who went to Sycamore and pitches at Indiana University. He’s joined on the mound by Oak Hills graduate Brian Sand,

Outfielder Ryan Strausborger (Indiana State University) will be one of the team’s top offensive threats. Regruth called him an “exciting player who can really

SIDELINES Heather Mitts soccer camp
Cincinnati native and Olympic Gold Medal winner Heather Mitts will be teaching soccer fundamentals and fun at the 2009 Heather Mitts Soccer Camp. The camp is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., June 27-28, at Sycamore High School, for girls
ages 6 to 18. Cost is $149, not including a $6 online and credit card convenience fee. A full refund minus a $35 handling fee will be available until two weeks before the camp. Each camper receives a T-shirt, team photo, eight hours of expert instruction, an opportunity to win contests and prizes.
On June 27 and June 28, Cincinnati’s own Heather Mitts, a member of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, returns to town for a youth soccer clinic. “Heather is a gold-medal woman and one of the top women’s players in the country. Hopefully the girls who aspire to be like her can pick up some of her skills,” said Nate Korhs, marketing assistant for ProCamps, the organization running Mitts’ camp. The two-day soccer camp will be at Sycamore High School and will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s open to girls ages 6 to 18 and girls can find registration information at heathermittscamp.com. The camp registration fee is $149 and Kohrs said walk-ups on the day of the camp will be accepted. As for the camp itself, girls will be broken into smaller groups based on their age. Many of the instructors at the camp will be area high school and college coaches. “The experience campers get is

Kohrs said Mitts, a St. Ursula Academy grad, is more hands-on than some celebrity camps. “At some camps the athlete just says a few things and leaves but Heather is there the whole time and is helping the girls out with drills. She’s very hands on and
you know the girls would be getting a really elite experience from her,” Kohrs said. Kohrs said ProCamps goal has always been to deliver a strong camper experience. “It’s all about camper experience,” he said. “We want the girls to come away feeling like they know more about soccer and had a really great time. We want everyone to feel like Heather Mitts helped them out.”

“Thanks for asking. Go Cincinnati Reds – for a new and young team they are doing Cincinnati proud. I am looking forward to going to the five games my family and I already have purchased tickets for.” L.M.R. “I would have to say a Reds game. The Reds are having a pretty good season so far and I like the attitude of some of the newer players. They are a harder working group of players.” “I do like to go to some Cincinnati Steam games at the field across from Western Hills High School. This is a summer season league for college players during their off season. It’s fun to watch younger players who are playing for the love of the game, instead of a paycheck.” J.W. “I will do to at least 5 games this year. I am a Reds fan all the way. Even though Pete Rose did not get what he deserved from Cincinnati.” T.R. “I will attend two or three Freedom games rather than the Reds. Frankly, it’s cheaper and more fun, especially for the kids. I don’t enjoy going to a Reds game. I end up missing half the game passing food, drinks and change up and down the rows and trying to see around vendors who sell everything but used cars.” W.H.

Send your answers to indianhill@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line. “I would more likely attend a Reds game - just because it is a tad closer and because I am used to going to Reds games.” D.K. “I’ve already been to a Reds game but I’ll probably go to a Freedom game also. Each offers something different. I’m excited that the Reds are winning and going to the games are great but the Freedom offers a closer view of the game, cheaper tickets and affordable food. We’re lucky to have so many options.” J.H. “Florence Freedom. It’s cheaper, less crowded and more enjoyable watching guys who love the game play.” K.P. “Florence Freedom, without a doubt. Close to home, free parking, cheap tickets, great baseball entertainment, family fun, great deals/sponsors. What a fantastic addition to Northern Kentucky.” T.F. “I prefer the Florence Freedom. Parking is easier and much cheaper, seats are closer to the action, cost of seat is reasonable, players play because they enjoy the game ... and it’s all fun.” C.J.W.

Safe Drinking Water report highlights water quality monitoring At Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW), we continue to achieve our mission of providing a plentiful supply of the highest quality drinking water and outstanding services to our customers. Our annual Safe Drinking Water Report highlights our extensive water quality monitoring and state-of-the-art treatment process. GCWW performs more than 600 water quality tests each day to ensure high quality water. We are proud that Cincinnati water met or exceeded all state and national health standards in 2008, as it always has. Greater Cincinnati Water Works uses full-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment with on-site reactivation. This method is cited in studies as being extremely effective in
removing harmful substances. Diagrams of our treatment processes are contained in the Safe Drinking Water Report. There are David Rager new plans to this Community improve already highly Press guest s u c c e s s f u l columnist water treatment. In 2009 and 2010, GCWW will be installing ultraviolet (UV) disinfection treatment technology at the Richard Miller Treatment Plant. Greater Cincinnati Water Works’ current treatment process of sand filtration coupled with granular activated carbon treatment serves as an excellent treatment barrier.
GCWW performs more than 600 water quality tests each day to ensure high quality water. This, combined with UV disinfection, will provide a true multibarrier treatment. Greater Cincinnati Water Works will be the first water utility in the country to use sand filtration followed by granular activated carbon treatment and then UV. The addition of UV disinfection parallels the cutting edge research and implementation of our current GAC treatment process. When granular activated carbon treatment was researched, it was found to be the best technology available to remove contaminants in the Ohio River.
Today’s research shows that UV disinfection is an optimum technology to address our concerns in an economical way. The U.S. EPA has identified UV disinfection as one of the Best Available Technologies against certain contaminants. The Ohio River and Great Miami Aquifer supply our source water. The Safe Drinking Water Report contains a map of our service area and, by looking at the report, customers can tell where their water comes from. Source waters are environmentally sensitive. The best way to ensure safe water at the tap is to keep our source waters clean. Greater Cincinnati Water Works is a municipally owned utility providing 136 million gallons of water a day. Greater Cincinnati Water Works currently serves the entire
city of Cincinnati, most of Hamilton County, the city of Mason, and parts of Butler and Warren counties, and Boone County in Kentucky. The Safe Drinking Water Report is included in customers’ utility bills from April through June to let customers know about their drinking water and how it compares to national standards. To look at the report, go to www.cincinnati-oh.gov/gcww or call 591-7700 to get printed copies. People served by other water utilities will also receive reports on water quality from their water provider. Customers may check water bills or ask their landlords if they are not sure which utility provides their water. David E. Rager is director of Greater Cincinnati Water Works.

Student graduates, marks milestone at center Chloe Casey arrived for her first day of class strapped in an ambulance to keep her from attacking the driver and banging her head into the walls. On May 21, Casey wore a cap and gown and walked calmly to center stage at Stepping Stones Center, where she received a certificate of completion in Greater Cincinnati’s only alternative education program for students with severe autism and intense behavior challenges who have exhausted options in the public school system. Her walk was accompanied by the applause and cheers of fellow students, parents and staff members at Stepping Stones Center where the program for children with autism started in 2004. The program is called Step-Up and serves 17 students from 11 school districts. It was started with one student – Chloe Casey – who had no alternatives. Her wrists were raw from biting herself. She had a history of hitting and biting teachers and destroying schoolrooms in a frenzy of frustration and fear that can attend the sensory challenges of autism. Light, noise, the proximity of other people, all can be overwhelming for a child with autism. “She was having such a hard time in public school,” said Casey’s mother, Jennifer Casey of Western Hills. “She couldn’t cope with all the kids, too much stimulation. She couldn’t deal with loud noises and all the activity.” Step-Up was a life-saver and a life-changer for Casey, said her mother. She went from being strapped in an ambulance to riding a bus to school. She goes to lunch in restaurants with fellow students. She has replaced hitting with hugging. “She’s doing 100 percent better. She’s learning. She communicates better. She can deal with daily life situations that she could never deal with before,” her mother said. “There’s no quick fix. She still has times when she gets upset, but it’s nothing like it used to be. She’s happy now. She’s more in control.” Casey’s wrists still show dark scars from where she used to bite herself. But she often wears a bracelet of bright beads over the scars – beads she bought herself on a shopping excursion. “She does a lot of things now independently that she would not do before going to Stepping Stones,” said her mother. “I feel like I’m partners with her teachers at Stepping Stones. We relay ideas. We do the same things at home and at school. It’s made such a difference. She used to get upset every time she had to go to school. Now she wants to go to school. She loves Stepping Stones. I hope she can continue to

Chloe Casey received cards and congratulations from friends at Stepping Stones Center. go there forever.” The ceremony on May 21 was a completion rather than a graduation. It marked the completion of 12 years of schooling, but it won’t be the end of Casey’s Step-Up experience because children with disabilities can attend school until age 22. “These students are completing the 12th grade. They deserve to have a ceremony marking that milestone,” said Step-Up teacher Pam Schimweg. They will remain in the Step Up program but can start a transition into adult programs, if desired, based on their abilities and needs. Schimweg said she has seen her students trade frustration for control and fear for smiles. “Chloe was a little afraid of the ceremony,” said her mother. “She knows when her sister wore her cap and gown, she didn’t go back to school. Chloe doesn’t want to leave Stepping Stones.” But she is an 18-year-old girl who wants to do what other 18year-olds do. “She knows the other kids graduate. She went to her sister’s graduation last year. I’m sure she’s wondering why she’s different.” A picture of Casey’s sister, Raven, in her cap and gown is on their mom’s wall at home. Now Casey’s picture will be beside it. Her completion ceremony marks a milestone in the Step-Up program, too. Casey was the first student in the pilot program that started in 2004. The program grew to four students by 2007, doubled to eight in 2008 and to 16 in 2009. As of last week, the program had 17 students from 11 school districts, with more anticipating enrollment as soon as space becomes available. Stepping Stones is working on an expansion plan that will add

The goal is to serve 24 students by the end of next year. The Step-Up program is the only one of its kind in the region. Students must be referred to the program by their school. Schools, which are mandated by law to educate every child, pay a portion of the education costs based on the number of students they refer. The cost is markedly lower than what schools would have to pay to place students with severe behaviors in residential programs. Step-Up is designed for the child who has exhausted his or her options in the traditional school system. The goal is to give that student an educational alternative that includes peers, social involvement and a school atmosphere where the student can succeed.

Ever wonder how normal you are? inches long and 2 inches wide. Yet, a search may never find a stone exactly that size in the stream (what a relief to the rest of the stones!) Stones don’t try to conform themselves to some desirable proportion. But humans do. We forget we are unprecedented. Isaac Singer writes, “Every human character occurs only once in the whole history of human beings.” Such uniqueness makes it impossible to say who’s normal. Government, science and religion have their own “normal” molds. The government mold says we’re fairly normal if we pay our taxes and obey federal regulations; science considers us normal when we match their statistics and research; religion tends to see normality as being asexual, unquestioning and docile.
Seldom do we hear the encouraging words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be yourself! But be your best self!” “The scientist is always looking for an average,” wrote Carl Jung, “yet the truth is that the carriers of life are individuals, not average numbers. When everything is statistical, all individual qualities are wiped out … If you wipe out the mythology of a man and his entire historical sequence, he becomes a statistical average, a number; that is, he becomes nothing.” Individuation (not individualism) means becoming what we have in us to become. God does not create us and then wonder, “Why did I do that?” We are created as a divine idea with a purpose and a destination. There would be no individuation if there were not roadblocks, detours, and personal efforts – just as there would be no path if there was no
Father Lou Guntzelman Perspectives wilderness around it that was hewn out by our steps. The singularity of each of our paths is part of what makes finding and staying on it so difficult. Nothing is as important as carrying our own cross, said Jesus Christ. Jaffe wrote, “That means the same as finding and following the path of individuation which has been prepared for you from eternity. This is the most difficult path but paradoxically also the easiest because it is the only one that will allow you to die with the knowledge that you lived your life through and through.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

New more compact video cameras save money, space on vacation If you’re like me, you love to take videos during family vacations – I’ve been doing it for years. But if you haven’t checked lately you will be shocked at how small the cameras have become – and much less expensive, too. At first home pictures consisted of black and white stills and movies. That soon gave way to color photos and movies – then videotape. The first video camera I owned was quite large and required a separate video recorder that I carried over my shoulder. When technology changed, I bought a small, excellent, video camera with the tape inside the unit. The size was so small I could hold it in one hand. It cost more than $1,800, but the video was so good I took it on a trip to China and came back with great pictures. I thought video couldn’t get much better – but I was wrong. I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked at the brilliant, colorful pictures it took – in high definition. My experience with that camera prompted me to buy the Flip Ultra HD camera, which can hold up to two hours of video, instead of one hour, before the pictures have to be downloaded. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can be replaced with two AA batteries should you run out of power and need to keep shooting. I took that camera on a recent trip to Hawaii and was simply amazed at the pictures I got. At one point, I ran out of power while on a road trip and couldn’t stop to recharge the battery. That’s when the ability to use two AA batteries came in very handy – it allowed me
to continue taking pictures when I wouldn’t have been able to do so otherwise. I have Howard Ain s i n c e Hey Howard! d o w n loaded the video to my computer and looked at the pictures sideby-side with video I had previously taken with my other camera. Even though the older pictures were good, these new pictures were far superior and were taken with a camera so small I can put it in my pocket – and often did while on my trip. One other thing, the new Flip camera cost just a frac-
tion of what I paid for that state-of-the art camera years ago. The Flip Ultra HD cost me less than $200. Replaceable cards are an advantage because it means there’s no need to stop and download your videos should your camera’s storage fill up. They don’t have all the bells and whistles you’ll find on larger more expensive cameras, but the trade-off in size and price makes them well worth considering.

“Why can’t you just be normal?” “Why aren’t you like the other (husbands/wives/kids/ whomever)?” Hearing that can make our self-respect hit the skids. For if we are not deemed normal, doesn’t that mean we are considered as abnormal, weird, odd, or peculiar in front of the rest of the world? Analyst Dr. Lawrence Jaffe notes that “Patient after patient speaks to me of the frustration in not being able to be ‘normal.’ What a relief to realize that normality is a statistical concept with no empirical validity … This is no such thing as being normal. But what a long road it is that leads finally to that realization.” Normality is an abstraction derived from the study of statistics. It doesn’t exist in reality. Science may say the average or “normal” stone in a certain riverbed is 4

Let sunlight cook your next batch of preserves

What a fun day. Jalean and Jessie, my daughtersin-law, and their kids went with me to A&M Farms in Brown County to pick strawberries. The aroma that hit us when we got out of our cars was berry heaven! Those folks are so family-oriented. The little ones got to help pick and some ate more than they put in their trays. I’m glad the kids weren’t weighed before and after. The berries were ripe and so delicious. The best part was going back to my house where we made 50 jars of jams and sauces. And we got it all done by mid-afternoon. We’ll serve the jam for Father’s Day breakfast. One of my fond memories is seeing my dad, Charlie Nader’s, smile when I’d bring him a jar of sun-cooked strawberry preserves for Father’s Day.
Sun-cooked strawberry preserves
1 quart or pound strawberries, sliced thickly 3 cups sugar or more to taste 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cook sugar, water and lemon juice until boiling and cook until sugar dissolves. Put berries in, lower to simmer and cook just until they start to lose their color and shrink a bit. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan (I use cookie sheets with sides) in single layers. Set in sun for three to four days. When berries are plump and turn darker red and syrup has jelled, pack into jars without reheating. Store in refrigerator up to a month or in freezer up to six months. If it rains, bring inside. If insects are a problem, cover with cheesecloth.
Rita’s creamed peas
8 oz. or so fresh peas, cooked 1 tablespoon each: cornstarch and butter 1 cup milk 3-4 tablespoons cream cheese with chives
M i x cornstarch and milk t o g e t h e r. Melt butter and add milk mixture. Cook until Rita thick. Stir Heikenfeld in cream heese Rita’s kitchen cand season to taste. Pour over peas and mix.
Guru in our backyard
Chef Scott Riehle’s Apple Blue Cheese Canapés: Scott is a young, immensely creative chef at St. Francis Friary on Vine Street in Cincinnati. I visited the friary recently. It has beautiful, serene walled gardens where the friars sometimes take their meals. Scott cooks for 11 resident friars plus unexpected guests from around the world. Scott told me, “Some like meat and potatoes, some are more sophisticated since they were missionaries in far-flung places. “This is one of my favorite appetizers to make for guests. Omit the bacon and it becomes a wonderful vegetarian option.” The friary is lucky to have this west-side chef, who’s cooking philosophy is: “If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong!” 1 Granny Smith apple (Peeled, cored, cut into thin slices) 4 oz. crumbled blue cheese 1 small red onion, sliced thin 5 strips cooked, crumbled bacon 5 Provolone cheese slices, quartered 20 slices, 1⁄4-inch, French baguette Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place provolone on bread. Finish topping with remaining ingredients. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until cheese melts and bread is slightly toasted. Serve warm.

Comey & Shepherd Realtors has published a luxury markets report defining the residential luxury market at $500,000 and above, focused primarily on Cincinnati’s Eastside and northern corridor areas. The report shows that single-family luxury market homes have held value better than might have been expected since the market peak in 2005-2006. In a neighborhood-toneighborhood price assessment based on the average single-family home sale price comparing 2007 home sales to 2008 home sales, the report finds that the average home sale price in Indian Hill increased in 2008 to $1,285,433 from $1,260,130 in 2007. “These findings help support the fact that Cincinnati’s overall housing market has been relatively stable in light of challenging economic conditions nationally,” said Scott Nelson, CEO of Comey & Shepherd. “It might surprise homeowners to learn that many

In the whirlwind of activity of his life, Paul’s passion and interests were also his many involvements in “community service and achievement for the common good.” He was named the “Outstanding Man of the Year for the Norwood Jaycees and was instrumental in establishing the “Junior Citizenship Award Project.” He chaired and was president of many civic organizations: United Appeal campaign and advisory and school chair, Norwood Service League 1956-2003 chairman of the Executive board and general chair of the building campaign for the new day care center: Norwood Recreation Commission 1958 – 1990 receiving a ‘Certificate of Appreciation” from the Ohio School Athletic Association; his devoted council and support at the Norwood Presbyterian Church where he served on the church building committee, Superintendent of the Sunday School, treasurer, and Ruling Elder and Elder from 1951-1990. He later joined the Knox Presbyterian Church in Hyde Park and remained active there until he moved to Scottsdale in 2004 where he and Marjorie became members at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley. For several generations of school business officials, the name ‘ Paul Leary’ evoked an image of a respected, caring and committed public official. This amazing man championed many projects throughout his 50+ years of dedicated service to the Ohio Association of School Business Officials (OASBO). Paul attended his first workshop in 1953 and also joined the Association of School Business
Officials of the United States and Canada (ASBO). His enthusiasm and desire to grow professionally led him to leadership positions at OASBO and culminated with his presidency in 1961-1962. He was the president of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees with a membership of 27,000 at the time. He was president of the southwest district Association for two terms and has served the district as a member of the OAPSE state executive board, and was general chairman when its convention was held in Cincinnati. His expertise in managing and development helped him to be the legislative liaison and become a director of the Educator and Executive Insurance Company. Paul’s passion, professional growth and enthusiasm continued to lead him to serve his professional organizations. After serving in several national leadership positions, Paul was elected President of ASBO International in 1983. The conference was held in Phoenix, Arizona and the theme for his term was “Excellence: ASBO’s Key to Professionalism.” That year membership reached 6,000 for the first time. He felt it important for people to join and become active and dedicated to be a more effective business official, a more efficient manager and a better school administrator. He dedicated himself to the organization for more than 55 years and received the RSBA designation. He and wife, Marjorie, traveled to every state and province of Canada during his term as president. He was loved and respected by his peers. Paul was revered as “ Mr. Congeniality” and “Mr. ASBO International.” His leadership was at the forefront of the profession from Clerk-Treasurer to Treasurer. Paul’s commitment to public education, his passion for school business management and his kindness to everyone are his legacy to OASBO and ASBO International. Paul Leary was a humble, devoted, and cherished husband, daddy and Papa who always gave unconditional love to everyone, especially his family. He loved life! He loved growing prize winning roses, playing bridge and poker with friends, parties, and summers at the Jersey Shore, helping those less fortunate, and enjoying his grandchildren. Traveling with Marjorie after retirement was a joy as they enjoyed many European trips together, but he was always ready to be back into the many ‘projects’ that waited. Paul had an endless ‘smile from his soul’ that made people feel, as they were special. Paul Robert Leary is survived by daughter, Lyn and Tom Ambrose and son Spencer; of Scottsdale; Jeffrey P. Leary and son Travis; of Port Charlotte, Florida; Dr. Christopher P. and Sandra Leary, and their sons Alex and Casey, of Loveland, Ohio. Also surviving are his brother, James Leary of Butler, PA and cherished sisterin-law and husband, Dr. Walter C. and Nancy McKelvey Lusk of Los Angeles as well as many nieces and nephews. A “Celebration of a Life Well Lived’ to honor Paul will be held Saturday, June 20, 2009 at Dr. Christopher and Sandra Leary’s home with a tent erected in the back yard rain or shine. Call 513-683-9033 to RSVP and request directions. Please dress comfortably for the service and Irish celebration afterwards.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
