Prostitution operation had services ‘at multiple price points’ Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The prostitution operation was run out of a business in Blue Ash that advertised itself as providing anti-aging skin treatments, teeth-whitening and massage. Candace Matsuda operated the business, named Defi ne Skin Care & Esthetics, between at least July through September 2018, court documents say. It off ered “diff erent levels of (sexual) services at multiple price points,” the documents state. Matsuda, according to court documents, “would service clients at the…location (and) receive monetary payment for said services.” Prosecutors said Monday, Nov. 18 that two other women were involved. The business was housed between a Thai restaurant and an optometrist in an upscale shopping strip across from an offi ce building. Matsuda, who court records say is 32, pleaded guilty Monday, Nov. 18 in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to promoting prostitution, money laundering and failing to pay sales tax. Prosecutors say she used various forms of social media to advertise the prostitution operation. Matsuda spoke very little during the Monday, Nov. 18 hearing. As Judge Charles Kubicki described how she faces a maximum of six years in prison, Matsuda began to wipe tears from her eyes. A sentencing hearing is set for Jan. 13. Her attorney, Hal Arenstein, emphasized to Kubicki that it wasn’t a human traffi cking operation, and no underage people were involved. “I think it’s an important distinction,” Arenstein said in court.

Duke Energy’s controversial gas pipeline is approved Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - Ohio oﬃ cials have approved Duke Energy’s plan to build a 13-mile natural gas pipeline through the middle of Hamilton County. The Ohio Power Siting Board approved Duke’s “alternate route” for the pipeline during a Thursday meeting. The decision comes more than three years after Duke Energy ﬁ rst proposed the project and could be appealed.

During that time, the board received 1,600 public comments and collected testimony from 115 people. Public Utilities Commission of Ohio Chairman Sam Randazzo, who chairs the board, said that input informed the board’s decision and the conditions by which Duke must abide. “All the people who participated in this process at local information hearings as well as public hearings provided valuable input in this process,” Randazzo said Thursday.

Vandell Slade, the ﬁ nal suspect at large after a shooting at a fake genderreveal party that killed one and injured eight in Colerain Township, has been captured. That’s according to the Colerain Township police, who say the 30year-old Columbus resident indicted on Slade charges of murder, attempted murder and felonious assault was arrested Sunday, Nov. 17 by agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Task Force. Several law enforcement agencies in Chillicothe received information on Sunday, Nov. 17 that Slade might be in their area, according to Chillicothe police. Early Monday morning, Investigators said his location was pinned

down to a home in the 600 block of Pine Street. Chillicothe police reported that they entered the home with the U.S. Marshals Service and Slade was found hiding in the attic. He was arrested without further incident, police said. He was booked into the Ross County Detention Center just after 1 a.m. Monday, Nov. 18 and was awaiting extradition back to Hamilton County. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting with the investigation. Autum Garrett, 22, was killed July 8, 2017, at a party on Capstand Drive for a woman who later admitted she was not pregnant.

by drug activity, but that there was no indication that Garrett or her family was involved in that. People who were shot but survived included Garrett’s husband, their 1year-old child and their 3-year-old child. Also wounded by gunﬁ re was an 8year-old child and three other adults. Three other men were indicted in the shooting: ❚ James Echols, 23, of Columbus, is charged with aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and multiple counts of attempted murder and felonious assault. ❚ Michael Sanon, 21, of Columbus, is charged with aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and multiple counts of attempted murder and felonious assault. ❚ Roshawn Bishop, 28, formerly of Hamilton County, is charged with murder, attempted murder and felonious assault. He was already in prison on drug traﬃ cking charges when he was charged in the shooting case.

ley Village, Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Evendale, Golf Manor, Reading, and Sharonville. Those communities – as well as residents and businesses located along the routes – opposed the project. Any of those communities could appeal the decision, ﬁ rst to the board and then to the Ohio Supreme Court. “This is another loss for the little guy,” said Justin Feldman, a Reading resident who drove to Columbus Thursday to hear the decision. The alternate route goes through Feldman’s front yard, about 20 feet from his bedroom. “This is my homestead,” Feldman said. “This is where I plan to die, which I hope won’t be for at least 20 years.” Duke says the pipeline is necessary to replace aging infrastructure. The new pipeline will reduce reliance on gas from stations south of the region and allow Duke to retire peaking plants that supply gas in cold weather. Construction is expected to begin at the northern end of the route in late fall of 2020 and ﬁ nish by the end of 2021. Duke estimates construction will take three to six weeks on each parcel the pipeline crosses. “We look forward to working closely with the communities and neighbors along the pipeline route throughout the

construction process to keep them informed while advancing public safety,” Amy Spiller, president of Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky, said in a news release. Critics have said the risks outweigh the pipeline’s potential beneﬁ ts. For example, the pipeline will only reduce reliance on one southern station by 5%, according to a Duke consultant. “For $160-plus million, customers deserve much more bang for their buck,” attorneys for Hamilton County and the city of Cincinnati wrote in their ﬁ nal brief on the matter.

The board’s approval comes with 41 conditions that include restoring lawns and recreation areas to their pre-construction condition. Duke’s preferred route would have passed by the Kenwood Towne Center shopping mall and Jewish Hospital Mercy Health in addition to more industrial areas. The alternate route is within 100 feet of 67 more residences than the preferred route but is within 1,000 fee of 967 fewer residences than the preferred route, according to a board staff report. The board’s approval comes with 41 conditions that include restoring lawns and recreation areas to their pre-construction condition and notifying local offi cials and property owners of construction plans. Board staff recommended in March that the board approve the alternate route. In April, Duke offi cials and opponents of either or both routes testifi ed before a pair of hearing offi cers who later issued a private opinion to board members. The board reviewed that opinion as well as testimony collected over the past three years, including criticism from a group of citizens called Neighbors Opposing Pipeline Extension.

Duke Energy had proposed two routes for its pipeline. The preferred route for the company is in orange, with an alternate route shown in green. The Ohio Power Siting Board approved Duke’s “alternate route” for the pipeline during a Thursday meeting. PROVIDED/DUKE ENERGY

‘Jesus was calling the shots’:

Agent explains how jeweler allegedly operated a $3M scheme Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A local money laundering organization and a separate international drug traﬃ cking ring were both targeted in recent DEA sting that yielded 37 arrests. Timothy Reagan, Cincinnati‘s resident special agent in charge for the Drug Enforcement Administration, told The Enquirer Wednesday, Nov. 20 that this was the largest drug-related investigation to come out of the local DEA oﬃ ce in at least four years. Reagan explained the investigation had two parts locally.

$3 million in money laundering in less than a year The ﬁ rst involved Vyacheslav Minyalo, also known as Slavik, the is the owner of Tri-State Jewelers and vice president of Nationwide Automotive, according to court documents. The DEA has accused Minyalo and others who worked with him, including the managers of both of those businesses, of operating a money laundering operation. “The volume of money that went through those businesses is shocking,”

Reagan said. DEA investigators said more than $3 million was moved through Minyalo’s organization in the past year.

didn’t equate to how much he was spending,” Reagan said. The agent said Bryant is alleged to have used the money laundering services provided by Minyalo’s organization, but investigators are looking for more. “We believe the services they provided may have been provided to other groups,” Reagan said.

Investigating ties to Sinaloa Cartel The separate drug traﬃ cking organization was headed up by Jose Daniel Zazueta-Hernandez, also known as Jesus, of Wisconsin, according to court documents. “Jesus was calling the shots,” Reagan said. “He was overseeing the supply of drug coming in from Mexico.” While investigators have not established a clear link between the Sinaloa Cartel and this organization, a man from Sinaloa has been indicted as part of the case. Reagan said intercepted phone conversation showed members of the group “bragging” about their connection to the gang.

Cocaine distribution in Cincinnati In Cincinnati, Derrick Bryant is accused of being Zazueta-Hernandez’s “largest local supplier” of cocaine, Reagan explained. He said Bryant would sell in bulk to other local groups.

A continuing investigation

Tri-State Jewelers at 630 Race Street, Downtown, was raided by federal agents on Nov. 14. CAMERON KNIGHT

Four homes connected to Bryant have been seized as part of this investigation. He is the owner of Prime Cuts Barber and Beauty in the Pleasant Run Plaza in Springﬁ eld Township. “The number of haircuts probably

Some of the 37 people arrested in the investigation have already posted bond and are awaiting trial at home. While the courts work through the cases, the DEA is continuing its investigation. One major task is looking into the 47 fi rearms agents have seized. Each of these guns will be test fi red, if possible, and the shell casings will be entered into the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network, a sort of fi ngerprint database for shell casings. Investigators could fi nd matches in the system tying those weapons to other shootings. Reagan said so far, neither of the local organizations have been tied to any violence.

Police: Princeton girl set classmate’s hair aﬁ re Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An eighth-grader accused of setting a fellow student’s ponytail aﬁ re at Princeton Community Middle School has been charged with felonious assault. The incident happened about 3 p.m.

Tuesday, Nov. 19 at the school at 200 Viking Way, a Sharonville police report says. “While the victim was walking down the hall at Princeton Community Middle School at dismissal, the arrestee lit the victim’s hair on ﬁ re with a lighter,” the report says.

Police confi rmed that the 13-year-old girl whose ponytail was set on fi re was checked at the school by a squad that determined she was not otherwise hurt. Offi cers are not identifying the eighth-grader arrested, who is 14, or pro-

viding many details because she is a juvenile and her case is in the juvenile system. A spokeswoman for the Princeton City Schools could not be reached for comment on the incident, including on a report that a teacher put out the ﬁ re.

Defendant Candace Matsuda enters a guilty plea with her attorney Hal Arenstein in the courtroom of Judge Charles Kubicki at the Hamilton County Courthouse in downtown Cincinnati on Monday, Nov. 18. Matsuda was charged with running a prostitution ring, as well as tax evasion, in 2018. SAM GREENE

Prostitution Ring Continued from Page 1A

As part of her plea to failing to remit sales tax, Matsuda agreed to pay $4,914 in restitution to the state. Matsuda, a Colerain Township resident, entered into an uncommon agreement with prosecutors that allowed her to plead guilty without the case ﬁ rst being heard by a grand jury. On Nov. 7, she waived her right to be indicted, records show, and the plea hearing was set. Matsuda already was on probation for breaking into an ex-boyfriend’s home in October 2018 and causing extensive damage.

Matsuda’s prostitution case is at least the third this year in Blue Ash. In July, a Batavia woman was charged with owning and operating a brothel in a Blue Ash business park. That case against 28-year-old Vic-

toria Jarufe-Maher is still pending. Also in July, 54-yearold Ping Wei was charged with running a prostitution operation out of a massage parlor, Relax Massage on Kenwood Road. Prosecutors also say Wei “compelled her employees to engage in sexual activities for hire.”

How Ohio college students are graduating debt-free Tom Lang

Miami University Regionals

When student Brittany Ashcraft was researching her college options last year, the math just wasn’t adding up — until she discovered the Miami University Regionals work+ program. Ashcraft looked into attending a large SEC school out of state, where Ashcraft said it would cost her $50,000 a year to attend. But she didn’t want to become just another graduate struggling with suﬀ ocating student loans post-graduation. Thanks to the new program in the Cincinnati area, students like Ashcraft can not only earn a bachelor’s degree from Miami University and graduate with no student debt, they can earn

spending money in the process. “When I fi rst heard about the work+ program, I was thinking there’s no way this can be real,” Ashcraft said. “Then when I pursued it and learned more, I told myself I would be so dumb not to do this.” Miami University Regionals has partnered with area businesses to have students complete jobs that the companies sometimes struggle to fi ll year to year. In exchange students like Ashcraft not only earn spending money but also have their tuition paid in full by the company. “When I tell people about it, and that I’ll leave college with no debt, they are really shocked and they don’t believe it — and sometimes I don’t believe it either. I have so many friends who are going the (traditional) four-year university route — and that’s fi ne because some people are OK with taking out student loans for that, but I’m not the kind of person who is,” Ashcraft said. Ashcraft is majoring in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology and next year plans to declare a bonus major in Electrical Computer Engineering Technology. The 18-year-old didn’t want to become another fi nancially strapped statistic. As of June 2018, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that 44.7 million Americans together have about $1.5 trillion in student loan debt. “Work+ is a diff erent version of what we traditionally think of when we hear the phrase ‘working your way through college,’” said Kelly Brown, interim director for the work+ program at Miami University Regionals. “With today's tuition costs, students are unable to work a part-time job in order to pay tuition and living expenses. Work+ allows students to earn money toward living expenses and their employer pays their tuition. “This program is a scholarship for

hard work,” Brown continued. “Some students earn full tuition scholarships as a reward for their academic achievements in high school or for their athletic or artistic talents. Work+ is a scholarship that rewards hard work.” Ashcraft works on the assembly line at Thyssenkrupp Bilstein, a German company that manufactures vehicle shock absorbers in Hamilton, Ohio. “They are really good about working around my school schedule, and they only require that I work 24 hours per week (three shifts),” said Ashcraft, who participated in FIRST Robotics competitions before graduating from Colerain High School in May. “It’s really cool to see how all the robots work in the layout and (the) overall design of a really large manufacturer.” Ashcraft also took a technology track at Colerain, which allowed her to simultaneously earn college credits at the local community college — credits that

Miami University accepted through its College Credit Plus program. If Ashcraft works over the summer months and takes a couple classes, she could graduate with her bachelor’s degree in just two years. She will not only fi nish college debt free, she will also be well prepared for the workplace that has many technology and skilled-trade openings to fi ll in the state of Ohio. “A workforce that is well educated is an essential element of prosperity, yet many students are unable to attend college due to a lack of fi nancial means,” Brown added. “Others are attending but are graduating with crippling student loan debt. “Work+ helps alleviate these problems.” Taking on student loan debt isn’t the only option to earn a college degree.

I’ll never forget my ﬁ rst taste of a bourbon ball. I was with my sister, Christine, and we were in her hometown of Ripley, Ohio, visiting antique shops. The proprietor of one particular shop, which was housed in an antebellum home, was a very genteel woman who greeted us with a plate of bourbon balls. Now this was in the heat of summer, mind you, but those bourbon

balls made their appearance. It was many years later that I attempted to make them for gifts from the kitchen cooking class. I wound up with two versions, which I’m sharing today. They make unusual gifts from the kitchen. Put them out on a dessert buﬀ et (label so people know what they are) and watch them disappear. Both are very sweet. The ﬁ rst one takes a bit more work and is the classic bourbon ball. The second recipe is easier, technique wise. And for our Kentucky and other readers who make bourbon balls, I’d be interested to know if these are similar to yours.

1 box vanilla wafers, ﬁ nely crushed 1 cup ﬁ nely chopped pecans, toasted (toast before chopping) ⁄ 4 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder ⁄ 2 cup bourbon

2 tablespoons plus 1 1⁄ 2 teaspoons light corn syrup Powdered sugar Instructions Stir together ﬁ rst 4 ingredients in a

large bowl until well blended. Stir together bourbon and corn syrup until well blended. Stir together bourbon mixture and wafer mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls. Mixture is usually sticky. You can dust your hands with powdered sugar if you like. Roll into powdered sugar. Store, covered, in refrigerator for up to a month or so. Tip: Fiddling around You might have to ﬁ ddle a bit with the consistency when you’re rolling either recipe into balls. You may or may not need a bit more powdered sugar or bourbon so don’t worry if that occurs.

OPINION

Social media in Colerain connecting everyone Submitted by Chris Williams

As far as the pundits were concerned, Facebook was toast. In short, they believed social media was a waste of time. They had learned their lessons from the dot com implosion. It was 2005. The subdivisions of Colerain Township proved to the experts; they were dead wrong. It had become evident social media had a purpose. In Colerain, social sites are connecting everyone to everybody. From the second largest township in Ohio has emerged a grass-roots social media scene that rivals any in the region. Five groups, from diff erent neighborhoods that hug the Northgate Mall, are posting everything from lost and found dogs and videos of everything to trolls complaining about the odor-ofthe-day from the Rumpke landfi ll. Everyone participates. Schools stay in touch with parents. The kids ditch mom, dad, and younger brother to meet their BFF’s in the privacy of their own chat room. Politicians and self-defi ned activists use it. In business, companies use it to sell their wares, and churches have found a way into the homes of their parishioners 24/7. Social media permeates every aspect of our lives. Local communities have digitally recreated themselves on social platforms, and connected to every constituent, customer, student, and parent. It’s now the permanent infrastructure of who we are and what we do. We are all there. There are moments that test the capability of social media. Such an incident occurred when Colerain police offi cer Dale Woods was struck by a passing motorist on Colerain Avenue. Social media was there before the responding offi cers arrived. A resident witnessed

the accident and immediately posted a photo. The news went viral up and down the streets of the township. Throughout the evening, citizens monitored the event. They never left the police oﬃ cers’ side. From moments after the accident until his burial, the locals crowded onto their digital public square. The police oﬃ cers, mourning the loss of their colleague, knew the community had their back.

It was 15 years ago that the prognosticators predicted social media’s demise. For some reason, they discounted the impact of the community. They didn’t understand the power a two years old’s death would have on a neighborhood. Nor did they comprehend how a police officer’s death would reverberate through a township of 80,000 souls. “It has allowed my offi cers to see just how much support the residents have for us. Our neighbors helped us feel a sense of community in this very dark time. We can’t thank them enough,” said Mark Denney, Colerain Township Police Chief.” He and his offi cers could focus on funeral preparations. The social media sites would raise the money, help organize the memorials, and then waited silently for the processional as it traveled down the snowy neighborhood streets. While Offi cer Dale Woods death shook the area’s residents, social media would reveal a story that would pull at thier heartstrings. Brodie Allen was a two-year-old who would die of brain cancer. The tragedy awoke social media sites. Thousands of

Wreaths were placed on doors. Inﬂ atable Santa’s were staked out in the front yards. “It was the most emotional moment I have experienced,” said Greg Insco, Colerain Township Trustee. He joined the family hours after Brodie died. “Inside their home, the parents were celebrating the two-years-old life! I was amazed!” he said. A few months later, after three cars hit Brodies 18-year-old brother, and his life was pronounced irretrievable; the social groups returned. Money was raised, and prayers sent. Miraculously, Andrew went home. The social media sites moved on to other business. Social media has its characters. There are both heroes and villains. The Who’s Who of the township social groups include a township trustee, who enthusiastically embraces local charities and champions the less fortunate. He engages voters live from his living- room couch, ﬁ elding questions from his constituents, hunting down

answers to zoning laws, and empathizing with the circumstances of a cull de sac abandoned by the salt trucks to a winter storm. Greg Insco has been informing his constituency about the goings-on in the township for the past two years. “With social media so prevalent people want to feel like they are in the know,” he said. Then there are the local activists whose ubiquitous social posts and angry dissertations will eventually show up as issues at the Trustee’s monthly meeting. It’s the sausage-making of democracy. It is social media good, bad, but never indiff erent. Managing a social media site is no cakewalk. Ask Mat Tietsort. The former mailman is founder and site administrator of Colerain Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. It is a responsibility requiring political deft, a high emotional IQ, and the ability to intervene if a troll gets out of hand. “I haven’t had to break up too many skirmishes,” said Tietsort, who founded the site in 2003. If it gets too bad, there is always the “mute” function at his fi ngertips, the digital equivalent of a garden hose. If they still don’t go back to their corners and make nice, he boots them off the site, where they can take their bru-ha-ha somewhere else. Tietsort gets it. When he was growing up, the neighbor news came from the neighbors. He understands not very long ago, when an email was a pipedream, you learned about the township reading the weekly paper. “You learn a lot just by talking to people at the barbershop, restaurants, and other businesses,” he said. It was 15 years ago that the prognosticators predicted social media’s demise. For some reason, they discounted the impact of the community. They didn’t understand the power a two years old’s death would have on a neighborhood. Nor did they comprehend how a police offi cer’s death would reverberate through a township of 80,000 souls. They didn’t get it.

condolences from around the world were posted. Memorial funds were created. A parade was quickly organized with Brodie as the Grand Marshall. Team Brodie was a rallying cry. He became the neighborhood’s kid. And then something amazing happened. His neighbors wanted Brodie to get his ﬁ nal Christmas. He had only a few months to live. In July, the residents dug out the holiday decorations. The street lit up.

If you enjoy spicy BBQ wings and deep-dish pizza on a regular basis and you live in Green Township, you’re in luck. Two popular chain restaurants — Buﬀ alo Wild Wings and Jet’s Pizza — are in the process of being built in Green Township.

The Hamilton County Zoning Com-

mission approved a proposal in August to build Buﬀ alo Wild Wings on the Harrison Avenue corridor behind Kroger Marketplace. An oﬃ ce or retail space will be attached to the wing franchise, according to the proposal. The proposal also included several external features, including but not limited to: a permanent green space with a retention pond, an outdoor seating area and a 263-space parking lot. The Jet’s Pizza Restaurant is being built at Harrison Avenue and Filview Circle. The closest location to Green Township is in Delhi. Opening dates were not immediately available.

SCHOOL NEWS The Finneytown Marching Wildcats end season on series of high notes And just like that the drums go quiet, the trumpets and trombones silent, the fl utes and clarinets still, and the Finneytown Marching Band season comes to an end. The concluding contest, Mid-States Final, is over. During the course of the season, The Marching Wildcats earned Reserve Grand Champion or fi rst place in three AAAA competitions, 3rd and 4th place in two contests, and 10th place at Mid-States Finals which included over 20 larger marching bands from the area. Additionally, they won Best Visual, Best General Eff ect, Best Music twice and Best Percussion, Best Guard once. Finneytown is one of the smaller bands participating but have proven their might by powering through even with less resources available to them.

They grew tremendously both musically and visually through the year as they gained conﬁ dence and faced more challenging competitors. Throughout the season, they com-

Sean Cliff ord, Penn State's sophomore starting quarterback who starred at St. Xavier High School, said he received death threats after the Nittany Lions' fi rst loss of the season – a 31-26 defeat at Minnesota on Nov. 9 – according to a report via Twitter from Reading Eagle's Richard Scarcella. Cliff ord had a season-high three interceptions in the game, including one by the Golden Gophers' Jordan Howden in the end zone with 1:01 left. Clifford has been picked off just six times all season while completing 59.6 percent of his passes for 2,450 yards with 22 touchdown passes. He and Penn State bounced back with a 34-27 win against Indiana on a recent Saturday. More from mcall.com's Mark Wogenrich: "It's kind of sad to say, but you know how some fans get," Cliff ord said on a conference call. "It gets a little crazy. I was kind of, I guess, sick and tired of getting death threats and some pretty explicit and pretty tough-to-read messages, but you learn how to deal with certain things and how certain people are going to react. "It's a very passionate game with a lot of passionate people. Our fans are defi nitely one of, if not the most, passionate [groups] in the country, so I just try to stay away from it. I appreciate all the positive people who are around, but there are also people who try to tear you down. So I think that it's always just been better to keep your head away from that kind of stuff ." Cliff ord's younger brother, Liam, currently a star receiver for the Bombers, announced last month that he'll play with Sean at Penn State.

SCHOOL NEWS Continued from Page 2B

Furthermore, a unique feature in Finneytown is that over 65% of band members also participate in a fall sport, something both music and athletics support. Most schools do not encourage students to be as diverse. In Finneytown, staff understand that participating in multiple extra and cocurricular activities actually benefi ts students, helping them to be more well rounded. It also promotes pride in their school. While winning three Reserve Grand Champion is a record set this year and has not been an easy feat, the amount of growth band members have shown this year is even more impressive. At the same time the bonds they’ve developed with each other deeply unite them. “I feel a sense of pride and joy as I watch these students excel through their hard work on the fi eld and at home. They practice and prepare outside of the band class,” exclaimed Mike Kennedy, Marching Wildcats Band Director. “I am also impressed by what they accomplish through their hard work on an individual and team basis.” The amazing parent volunteers who support our band students throughout the year are unsurpassed. On average

about 30-50 volunteers participate throughout the season. The Finneytown Music Parent Association is strong support organization for the band and helps provide necessary items and money to supplement the costs to participate in band, including private lessons and travel to competitions. The students, staﬀ , and adult support all combine to make this band program a shining star in Finneytown. Missy Knight, Finneytown Local School District

SCHOOL NEWS District achieved an all-in interest rate of 3.52% over the life of the new bonds. These are great results for the Northwest Local Schools community. We saw an opportunity to save our taxpayers money and we took advantage of that opportunity.” “As an advocate for our community, realizing opportunities to reduce tax dollars is an important part of our stewardship,” said Wells. “When voters approve school bonds and levies, they are expressing their faith that the administration will be vigilant stewards who safeguard the investment the community entrusts to us. We’re making every eﬀ ort to do just that.” The refunded Series 2015 Bonds were issued for new construction (including three new elementary schools), improvements, renovations and additions to school facilities, providing equipment, furnishings and site improvements; therefore, including without limitation, the comprehensive renovation of the District’s middle and high schools in accordance with the District’s master facilities plan. NWLSD was able to maintain their Aa2 rating, an indicator of strong ﬁ nancial stability through with Moody’s Investor Services, which is how the District was able to achieve the lower interest rate.

Northwest Local School District saves taxpayers $3,765,000

Northwest Local Schools recently locked in new interest rates to refi nance the District’s Series 2015 Bonds that will save homeowners and businesses in the District approximately $3,765,000 over the next 26 years. The refunding bonds have the same fi nal maturity as the refunded bonds, which is December 1, 2045. The savings will lower the millage and future payments that taxpayers will make on the bonds. This savings represents 8.79% of the Series 2015 refunded bond par amount, which will be realized over the life of the bonds. The fi nal maturity date will be 2045. “This savings is generated by lowering the interest costs that taxpayers will be paying over the next 26 years,” said Amy M.

Princeton's Darrion Henry is a LaRosa's MVP The Princeton Viking’s 6’5”, 265 lb. senior defensive end Darrion Henry was one of the top sought-after football recruits nationally with a slew of collegiate off ers and has committed to play next year for The Ohio State Buckeyes. During the regular season, Darrion had 45 tackles (32 solo, 13 assisted), six sacks and two forced fumbles. He has helped the Vikings to a 6-4 record and its fi rst playoff berth since 2007. His junior year, Darrion recorded a teamHenry leading 61 total tackles with 33 solo tackles and 28 assisted tackles, plus he notched 8.5 sacks, which led the GMC and was a school record for sacks in a season. He also forced three fumbles, recovering two of them. For his accomplishments on the fi eld, Darrion has earned numerous honors. Last season, he was named 1st team GMC for the second time, 1st team allcity (Enquirer), 1st team all-SWO District and honorable mention all-state.

and places. Students are currently reading Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza by Philemon Sturges, so it is only ﬁ tting that LaRosa’s Mobile Kitchen will be on site cooking pizzas within the preschool learning environment. The idea was created by Jayne Sayers, a HELC Intervention Specialist. “The staﬀ at the preschool is working hard to not only teach students to read but to help students make real life connection with the words that they are learning,” said Sayers. Sayers teaches in a cross categorical classroom, which is a specially designed class to help students with communication needs. “These types of projects is another way of assisting students with literacy.” Administrators and teachers within the preschool are using common places in the community in order to teach students word recognition and application. “Within our classrooms we label things like ‘Door, closet or Flag’ in order to help our students to identify and attach objects to actual words,” says Jill Henderlight HELC’s General Education Preschool Teacher. “We are also using environmental print, which is helping students to identify commonly known places within the community. We know that this is essential and is a precursor to learning to read,” says Henderlight. The push to promote literacy is not only taking place within HELC, but is being implemented districtwide within the Northwest Local School District. “As part of the District’s Strategic Plan, we are placing a relentless focus on literacy. LaRosa’s has provided the perfect vehicle to incorporate literature. This is an activity where students get to make and create their own pizza, taste and enjoy it, which truly brings literacy to life,” Aimee Murray, HELC Principal. “We want to ensure that our students will enjoy every bite of literacy.” Lyndsey Creecy, Northwest Local School District

Randolph Ross, of New York City, is a retired principal for high schools in Queens, Great Neck and Plainview, N.Y. Crosswords helped him get one of his jobs. He says his final interview with the Great Neck Board of Education was devoted mainly to crossword constructing rather than how to run a school. Having had one of his puzzles published in The Times shortly before ‘‘was good timing and made for a happy interview.’’ This is Randy’s 50th Sunday crossword for the paper and his 113th Times puzzle overall. — W.S.
