1:47 pm 12/05/13--Cascade is open!
Warm temperatures are sticking around for Thursday's turns, and you know what that means - afternoons of spring-like conditions to kick off December! We're giving the snowguns a break, but just for now. You can bet that our snowmakers have set their sights toward Bear Mountain as soon as temperatures permit. What's that? You've heard that some non-snow showers are coming our way Thursday? We can't confirm or deny that here (read: confirmed) but skiers and riders should check the weather in the morning. Keep an eye out for trail openings (think Cascade!) and any closings; we'll update them right here in real time. Look for 29 trails' worth of fresh grooming, 21 features in Mouse Run Park, and key lifts spinning at 9:00 a.m. Upper Bunny Buster and Highline will be closed for race camps; thanks in advance for your understanding. Swing by the Lower Highline neighborhood in the afternoon and you may catch a glimpse of the Rails 2 Riches build, too. The Week Ahead K-1 and Snowshed Base Lodges are open daily this week with all services, including tickets, rentals, retail and food courts. Plus, snow sports lessons for all ages and abilities are available at Snowshed Lodge. Ramshead Base Lodge and lifts are closed Monday through Thursday except for child care, which is open daily. Ramshead will reopen on Friday offering all services. All operations are weather dependent and, at this time of year, things can change unexpectedly. As always, check back regularly and we'll keep you posted. We hope that you love the mountain as much as we do, and treat it and fellow skiers and riders accordingly. Please remain in control, courteous and aware. 2013/14 Operating Day: 44

It was a fabulous World Series story for a great World Series. David Freese, a hometown kid who grew up just 30 miles from Busch Stadium's home plate, dreaming of being a Cardinal, is named MVP of the Fall Classic. The 28-year-old third baseman who had thought he was done with baseball as a youngster in college, batted .348 with five extra-base hits, seven RBIs and a 1.160 OPS as the Cardinals won the 11th World Series title in history, beating the Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 on Friday.
"What a feeling, this is incredible," Freese said. "You come to this field and you're part of something like this as a fan, it makes you want to be part of it on the field. You bust your tail to get to this point. It takes a total team to not only get to this pount but to beat the Texas Rangers."
Freese had three consecutive at bats that bridged his heroics connecting Game 6 to Game 7. The three hits cemented his place as one of the all-time legends of post-season lore. In the ninth inning of Game 6, faced with elimination, Freese stroked a two-out, two-on triple to right field to send the game to extra innings. In the 11th he took the series to Game 7 with a bomb to the grassy knoll in straightaway centre field. In Game 7, moved up to the five-hole for the injured Matt Holliday, Freese smacked a two-run double to left centre to tie the game. Three momentous hits in the two biggest games of the season.
"You turn the page, keep your focus," Freese said, shaking his head in wonder at his own fast-track to fame. "That first AB I had a good plan going on. I put a pretty good swing on something. You gotta get things to work out for you in the post season. It's tough enough to get in. You've got to be somewhat lucky to win it. We did enough things to get it done."
A little bit of the luck Freese was talking about showed up on Wednesday when the threat of torrential downpours in the St. Louis area caused MLB to call off Game 6 and delayed the series by a day, meaning an extra 24 hours of rest for Cards' ace Chris Carpenter. He immediately petitioned manager Tony LaRussa for the rights to the Game 7 start. Without the rain it would have been Kyle Lohse. All bets are off.
"I was hoping so, Carpenter said of being handed the ball on Friday. "It's not my decision, it's Tony's, but I was hoping to have an opportunity to go ahead and pitch in that game. Fortunately it worked out. It started out a little rough in the first but I was able to collect myself, make some pitches and our guys did an awesome job to battle back."
Carpenter allowed the first four Cards to reach base, allowing two runs, but carried the Cards into the seventh inning with a lead they never surrendered. Carpenter completed the World Series with a 2-0 record in three starts and a 2.84 ERA. Fringe MVP.
And it wasn't just Freese and Carpenter for the Cards. There was Albert Pujols in what may have been his last hurrah in the Caridinals uniform. He owned Game 3 with one of the most complete offensive performances in World Series history, five hits, three homers, six RBIs and 14 total bases. He had one hit the rest of the series but was a daunting presence.
There was Allen Craig with hits in each of the first three games, two of them pinch-hits, to put the Cardinals ahead. There was Lance Berkman, earning his first World Series ring in his 13th season. He batted .423 with five RBIs, five walks and a strikeout.
But if the World Series had a three-star system like in hockey, the Cards' second star to Freese would have been catcher Yadier Molina. The youngest of the Molina brothers drove in nine runs in seven games, batting .333 with an .830 OPS. But the biggest contributions for Molina were while wearing the tools of ignorance and handling the staff. He threw out three of four base stealers and allowed just one wild pitch letting his staff pitch down and even below the strike zone with no fears, a la Pat Borders.
"The last month of the season, that's where it started," Pujols said. "Different guys were coming through getting big hits and we carried that into the post-season and here we are. World Champions."
It was as if the three blown-save Game 6 was it for the Rangers and manager Ron Washington, their lone window of opportunity. Once they had slept on their group failure to launch that Thursday night, the pitching dried up and so did their World Series chances as they lost two games in a row for the first time since August. It only gets tougher for the Rangers to repeat as AL champs for a third time. With a five-game World Series loss to the Giants in 2010, they may be becoming the Buffalo Bills of major-league baseball.
And Cito Gaston, with the Jays in '92 and 93 remains the only African-American manager to win a World Series.

Charming Chime December 27, 2012
I originally purchased this charm for myself but loved it so much I also ordered one for my mother & two daughters. Now my mother is ordering one for her 91 year old sister. I think that says it all. One curiosity is that my mother's is gold rather than silver & since the description says they are "hand made German silver" pieces, I need to find out more about this. Also, our angels are standing with what appears to be an instrument rather than perched on their elbows, so the design is different than what is displayed online.

Canada and Bolivia established diplomatic relations in 1961 when Alfred John Pick, Ambassador of Canada to Peru, was accredited in Bolivia. Since then, the Canadian Embassy in Peru and the Canadian Office of the Embassy, Program Office in Bolivia have been working to expand and strengthen political and commercial Canada-Bolivia relations, and to support Canada's development program in Bolivia.
Bolivia is landlocked and the poorest country in South America, with more than 40% of the population living in absolute poverty. The country also suffers from extreme inequity. More than 60% of Bolivians are indigenous, primarily Aymara and Quechua speaking.
On December 6, 2009 Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous President, was re-elected President of Bolivia with more than 60% of the popular vote. His Movimiento al Socialismo gained at least two-thirds of the seats in both houses of the new Plurinational Assembly. Morales was first elected in December 2005 on a platform that consisted of constitutional reform, greater control over natural resources and efforts to tackle deep-rooted social, regional, and ethnic inequalities.
Bolivia is a CIDA Country of Focus. The bilateral aid programme in Bolivia, with a current budget of $15 million/year, is focused on securing a future for children and youth and the promotion of sustainable economic growth.

The Ohio Democratic Party is asking both state and federal prosecutors to look into allegations that a major coal company is coercing its employees to donate to political causes against their will.
The ODP on Monday sent letters to U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio Steven Dettelbach and Acting Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty asking them to launch a criminal investigation into Ohio-based Murray Energy Corporation.
The letters allege that Murray Energy "may have engaged in a pattern of illegal activity, extorting millions in financial contributions from employees and vendors for Republican candidates running for public office."
Murray Energy fired back in a Monday statement, saying the allegations "are simply an attempt to silence Murray Energy and its owners from supporting their coal mining employees and families by speaking out against President Barack Obama's well known and documented War on Coal."
The allegations stem from an Oct. 4 investigation by left-leaning magazine The New Republic.
The article is based on the accounts of two anonymous former Murray managers and a review of letters and memos to Murray employees. It suggests that employees are pressured into making donations to Republican candidates and contributing to the company's Political Action Committee.
"There's a lot of coercion," one of the sources told the magazine. "I just want to work, but you feel this constant pressure that, if you don't contribute, your job's at stake."
ODP Chairman Chris Redfern told reporters during a conference call that party research found that Ohio political candidates — including all current statewide officeholders — had received almost $750,000 from Murray Energy, its subsidiaries and employees.
Neither Dettelbach or McGinty returned CityBeat calls for comment on any pending investigations.
Murray Energy in its statement called The New Republic biased and radically liberal. The company's characterization in the article is incorrect and untruthful, according to the statement.
Murray had previously come under fire when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney held a campaign event at one of its mines. Some workers claim they were pulled out of the mine early when it closed for the event and forced to attend without pay.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald is calling on Republican Gov. John Kasich to veto a bill that would prevent State Auditor Dave Yost, a Republican, from fully auditing JobsOhio, following months of controversy surrounding the private nonprofit entity.
"I further encourage the Governor to return to negotiations with Auditor Yost, with the explicit goal of establishing an open and transparent process by which the people of Ohio can be sure JobsOhio is spending our tax dollars efficiently, and that the program is doing what it is supposed to be doing: creating Ohio jobs," FitzGerald said in a statement. "The people's money is the people's business, and this bill, which slams shut the door on accountability, is simply unacceptable."
Yost claims he can audit JobsOhio's liquor profits, which add up to $100 million a year, and private funds, such as donations.
But the bill effectively defines JobsOhio's liquor profits as private funds that can't be audited by the state
auditor. Under the proposal, Yost could only audit liquor profits and excise taxes that JobsOhio owes to the state, with all other funds effectively deemed private.
JobsOhio was established by Kasich and Republican legislators in 2011 to replace the Ohio Department of Development. The agency's liquor profits come from a lease deal with the
state to run Ohio's liquor operations.
Yost argues the liquor profits are intrinsically public money because the money would be in public hands if JobsOhio wasn't handling operations.
But other Republicans, led by Kasich, say
opening JobsOhio to full audits would slow down the agency, hindering its
ability to quickly react to economic changes and tides. Kasich has often said the private nature of JobsOhio allows it to move at the "speed of business," which he claims fosters stronger economic development in Ohio.
Democrats have pushed back against the notion, saying JobsOhio's private nature only makes it more difficult to hold the state government accountable. With the latest bill, Democrats, who have now taken to dubbing the agency "RobsOhio," say their concerns are being vindicated.
But the bill could have far-reaching effects beyond JobsOhio that would effectively disallow the state auditor to audit privately funded accounts in any institution that receives public funding.
Despite Yost's pleas to involve him in the process, the auditing bill was passed through the Ohio House and Senate in just two days without his input.
Democrats were quick to criticize the bill, asking what JobsOhio has to hide.
Kasich is expected to sign the bill to make it law.
JobsOhio isn't the only privatization scheme pushed by Kasich. He also sold the Lake Erie Correctional Institution, a northeastern Ohio prison, to the Corrections Corporation of America. So far, inmate reports and inspections have largely found deplorable conditions at the Lake Erie facility ("From the Inside," issue of May 29).
Opponents of Ohio's new restrictive election law have gotten it postponed until next year at the earliest, with a potential repeal of House Bill 194 in November ending it before it begins.
It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this day, it's worth re-watching his I Have a Dream speech.
Local governments are hopeful they won't see big budget cuts in Gov. John Kasich's 2014-2015 budget.
Townships, municipalities and counties were economically hit by big
cuts in the last budget. The local government cuts added up to $1
billion on a state level, and Hamilton County shared $105 million — more
than 10 percent — of the cuts, according to Cuts Hurt Ohio. Education saw $1.8 billion in cuts statewide, with Hamilton County taking $117 million of those cuts.
Gov. Kasich announced that his state of the state address will take place in Lima, Ohio. Kasich's speech last year was labeled "bizarre" by outlets like The Hill. During the speech, Kasich imitated a person with severe Parkinson's disorder and called Californians "wackadoodles."
Union Terminal is falling apart. Cincinnati Museum Center executives say they need nearly $180 million for repairs. The damages are largely due to how the building was constructed. Its design lets moisture get behind bricks, which then causes supporting steel beams to rust.
The judge in the Miami University rape flier case gave a deposition Jan. 15. The document outlines Judge Robert Lyons' reasoning for letting the rape flier case go: "What I remember about him is that there was certainly concern about his, say, his mental health and there were grounds stated on the record for the necessity of sealing the record. It had to do with his — probably as I recall, more so mental well-being than anything else."
Former governor Ted Strickland is tired of raising campaign money, but that didn't stop him from joining City Council candidate Greg Landsman Friday. Landsman was Strickland's field director for his congressional campaign, and when Strickland was governor, Landsman was director of the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.
Rumor has it the Carew Tower will be going residential, but the owners are denying it all. The denial letter, which assured current tenants they won't be kicked out, makes reference to a "softness in the general downtown office market."
The Greater Cincinnati Foundation made $1.3 million in grants. The grants will help a variety of businesses and groups. A $225,000 grant will go to Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber's Minority Business Accelerator, which helps local businesses owned by minorities.
Garbage collection will be delayed by a day this week due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Will the first neanderthal in 30,000 years be given birth by a human mother? A Harvard geneticist says he's close to making it possible.
Some Democratic lawmakers want answers from Republican Gov. John Kasich.
A group of Democratic state representatives has put forth a bill that would require Kasich — and every governor after him — to come before the Ohio House of Representatives 10 times per year for 45-minute question and answer sessions where the governor would have to take at least five questions from each side of the aisle.
Rep. Mike Foley, D-Cleveland, is the bill's sponsor. He did not return CityBeat's call for comment as of Wednesday afternoon.
Cincinnati Democratic Rep. Denise Driehaus is one of the bill's co-sponsors. She said Foley had the idea while visiting Canada, where their parliament has a similar procedure.
"I think it's a great idea where the governor interacts with the legislature and we have the opportunity to question him and really engage on some of the issues and get his opinion on things," Driehaus says.
She said the Legislature doesn't currently have a whole lot of opportunity to interact with the governor, except for the State of the State address, but even then they can't really engage Ohio's chief executive.
The Ohio Democratic Party has recently filed suit against Kasich for what it says is a failure to comply with open records laws for redacting parts of his public schedules when responding to a public records request.
The ODP has called Kasich opaque and secretive for failing to respond or only partially responding to records requests.
However, Driehaus said the bill isn't meant to apply only to Kasich, but would apply to every governor after him. She said she didn't think it was in reaction to her party's spat with the governor.
"This is much broader and much more forward thinking than that," Driehaus says.
The tone was negative once again in the final public hearing for the city manager's plan to lease the city's parking system. Of the two dozen speakers, only four were positive. Tabitha Woodruff, who is with the Ohio Public Interest Research Group, voiced mixed feelings about the plan: "As we feared it provides a short-term solution to a long-term budget problem, raises hours and rates on citizens, and has the potential to incur high transaction costs. … We're encouraged, however, by the selection of a public entity, the Port Authority and by numerous proposed provisions of the lease intended to insure the city maintains control of details like rates and hours." CityBeat wrote about the plan in detail here.
If City Council does not agree to lease Cincinnati's parking system, the city manager's office says the city will be forced to lay off 344 employees,
including 80 firefighter and 189 police positions, and eliminate Human
Services Funding, but critics argue there are better alternatives.
Mayoral candidate John Cranley says casino and parking revenue and cuts
to non-essential programs could help clear the deficit without the plan.
Gov. John Kasich's job approval rating has risen above 50 percent for the first time, and he's beating all the potential Democratic gubernatorial candidates in theoretical match-ups, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. CityBeat covered the governor's budget plan, which will set the state's policy blueprint for the next two years, here.
The Ohio House will vote on Kasich's Ohio Turnpike plan today, which leverages the Turnpike for a statewide infrastructure program.
With the approval of Metro's operating budget, City Council and Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) have ended their dispute
over streetcar funding. Council members had been approving monthly
budgets as they worked things out with SORTA, which manages the region's
bus system. SORTA filed a lawsuit disputing the limits of the transit fund, but it dropped the suit
after the city said it will not use the money for maintenance of streets, sidewalks
and streetlights. (Correction: This previously said the city will "only use the money for streets, sidewalks and streetlights" when the opposite is true.)
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) says the state's schools are making improvement, but they still "have room to grow."
In the latest state report cards, Ohio schools improved in 14 of 26
categories and met the state's performance goal on 21 out of 26, with
particularly strong gains in math and science, but ODE says, "The
performance of Ohio's economically disadvantaged students and minorities
remains unacceptably low."
The state auditor has a problem with how Ohio's schools report data through what he calls a "just-trust-me" system.
The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a 40-year agreement with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) that will lease the county-owned Memorial Hall and provide renovations to the 105-year-old building. County officials have long said the building, which is used to host concerts, shows and speaking events, is in dire need of upgrades, particularly overhauls to its roof, windows, facade work, floors, air conditioning and bathrooms — all of which will now be financed by 3CDC with the help of tax credits.
The commissioners also approved a two-year policy agenda, which generally outlines their plans for county finances and taxes, infrastructure and economic development.
The Over-the-Rhine Eco Garden could be forced to relocate if the city approves CitiRama's development proposal. The move would be fully funded by the city's Department of Community Development, with startup and relocation costs paid for.
Ohio's concealed weapon carry permits reached record highs in 2012 with more than 76,000 permits issued.
Fewer Ohioans are starting their own businesses, and the state's level of self-employment is one of the lowest in the nation, according to a report from Dayton Daily News.
With Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino set to open March 4, gambling addiction could be one of the downsides to the casino's glitz and job creation, but extra funds for the state's treatment programs and special training for casino employees could help combat the problem.
A medical marijuana amendment could be on Ohio's 2013 ballot, but anti-drug groups are already speaking out against it.
Think the 114-year-old Japanese woman has reached an impressive age? Guffaw. Popular Science lists six much older animals.
While fact checking an interview, CityBeat discovered it will be possible to circumvent the parking plan's cap on meter rate increases through a multilayer process that involves approval from a special committee, the city manager and the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority. The process adds a potential loophole to one of the city manager's main defenses against fears of skyrocketing rates, but Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, says raising the cap requires overcoming an extensive series of hurdles: unanimous approval from a board with four members appointed by the Port Authority and one selected by the city manager, affirmation from the city manager and a final nod from the Port Authority. Olberding says the process is necessary in case anything changes during the 30-year time span of the parking deal, which CityBeat covered in detail here.
Democratic mayoral candidate John Cranley launched DontSellCincinnati.org to prevent the city manager's parking plan, which semi-privatizes the city's parking assets. The website claims the plan gives for-profit investment companies power over enforcement, guarantees 3-percent rate increases every year and blows through all the money raised in two years. The plan does task a private company with enforcement, but it will be handled by Xerox, not a financial firm, and must follow standards set in the company's agreement with the Port Authority. While the plan does allow 3-percent rate increases each year, Olberding says the Port Authority will have the power to refuse an increase — meaning it's not a guarantee.
Arnol Elam, the Franklin City Schools superintendent who sent an angry letter to Gov. John Kasich over his budget plan, is no longer being investigated for misusing county resources after he paid $539 in restitution. CityBeat covered Elam's letter, which told parents and staff about regressive funding in Kasich's school funding proposal, and other parts of the governor's budget in an in-depth cover story.
To the surprise of no one, Ohio's oil lobby is still against Kasich's tax plan, which raises a 4 percent severance tax on oil and wet gas from high-producing fracking wells and a 1 percent tax on dry gas.
Local faith leaders from a diversity of religious backgrounds held a press conference yesterday to endorse the Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment, an amendment from FreedomOhio that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state. Pastor Mike Underhill of the Nexus United Church of Christ (UCC) in Butler County, Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp of Temple Sholom, Pamela Taylor of Muslims for Progressive Values and Mike Moroski, who recently lost his job as assistant principal at Purcell Marian High School for standing up for LGBT rights all attended the event. CityBeat covered the amendment and its potential hurdles for getting on the 2013 ballot here.
Vanessa White, a member of the Cincinnati Public Schools board, is running for City Council. White is finishing her first four-year term at the board after winning the seat handily in 2009. She has said she wants to stop the streetcar project, but she wants to increase collaboration between the city and schools and create jobs for younger people.
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles' (BMV) policy on providing driver's licenses to the children of illegal immigrants remains unclear. Since CityBeat broke the story on the BMV policy, the agency has shifted from internally pushing against driver's licenses for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to officially "reviewing guidance from the federal government as it applies to Ohio law." DACA is an executive order from President Barack Obama that allows the children of illegal immigrants to qualify for permits that enable them to remain in the United States without fear of prosecution.

A new report found "renters by choice" — those who can afford to own a house but choose not to — and people returning to the market in the Great Recession's aftermath may be driving a rush to rent in Cincinnati, reports The Cincinnati Enquirer. The report from CB Richard Ellis found the average apartment occupancy rate was 93.6 percent in 2012, underscoring the need for new apartments in Downtown and Over-the-Rhine. News of the report came just one day after City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. announced his parking plan, which will add 300 luxury apartments to Downtown.
Gov. John Kasich and Ohio legislators are getting some bad feedback on the governor's plan to broaden the sales tax, reports Gongwer. Numbers from Policy Matters Ohio found the sales tax plan would outweigh sales and income tax cuts for the lower classes, but won't be enough to dent tax savings for the wealthiest Ohioans. CityBeat covered Kasich's budget in detail here.
Not much new information came from a special City Council meeting last night that covered Cincinnati's public retirement system, reports WVXU.

Mayor Mark Mallory is using his plan to lower Cincinnati's infant mortality rate to try to win the Bloomberg Philanthropies' Mayors Challenge. Mallory's proposal would create an Infant Vitality Surveillance Network, which allows pregnant women to enroll in First Steps, a care program that maintains a secure database of new mothers and monitors pregnancies, according to a press release from the mayor's office. The program could be especially helpful in Cincinnati, which has a higher infant mortality rate than the national average. The Bloomberg challenge pits mayors around the country against each other to win $5 million or one of four $1 million prizes for their programs aimed at solving urban problems and improving city life. With Mallory's program, Cincinnati is one of 20 finalists in the competition. Fans can vote on their favorite program at The Huffington Post.
A local nun may have committed voter fraud, reports WCPO. Rose Marie Hewitt, the nun in question, died Oct. 4, but the Hamilton County Board of Elections still received a ballot from her after she died.
