Miami Valley school districts collectively stand to receive millions in annual tax revenue from casino profits when they begin receiving their share in January.
Ohio voters in 2009 amended the state constitution to allow casinos in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati. The state levies a 33 percent tax on adjusted gross gambling revenue, which is the amount left after winners are paid.
School districts in Ohio will share 34 percent of that tax revenue.
The Department of Taxation, which is slated to make the first payment to schools, has not told school district officials how much revenue they will receive.
Despite the good news of receiving some additional revenue at a time when so many school budgets are tight, area school officials expressed frustration at not knowing what to expect. Also on the horizon, is a new funding formula that could change the way schools are funded.
Gov. John Kasich is expected to unveil the new funding formula that could be in place for fiscal year 2014.
Mike Sobul, a consultant for Public Finance Resources — whose Casino Revenue Estimate Update was sent to all of Ohio's 614 school districts in October — said there is uncertainty about the inter-relationship between casino tax revenue and a new school funding formula.
"That makes everyone kind of nervous," he said.
"The question is whether anything in the new formula is going to take into account the casino money that schools are getting in determining state aid," Sobul said. "That's the concern. It may be in there, it may not be in there; we don't really know. The constitutional amendment says it's not supposed to supplant other revenues."
Sobul, who also serves as treasurer for the Granville Exempted Village School District, worked for the Ohio Department of Taxation for 25 years before retiring 18 months ago as head of the forecasting and special projects unit. He was part of the research team that did the department's initial casino revenue estimates in 2009.
He now estimates the overall casino revenue to be about $1.4 billion annually. Of that, he said current estimates indicate school districts stand to receive about $157 million annually.
The casinos in Cleveland and Toledo began operating last spring, the one in Columbus just opened in October and Cincinnati's is expected to open by next June.
Sobul said for the January distribution, he expects districts will receive about $19 per pupil, down from the previous $21 per pupil he estimated last spring before there was a decline in casino revenue.
The Dayton Daily News calculated how much a sampling of Miami Valley districts could receive using the formula Sobul suggested. The newspaper used districts' year-end enrollment for fiscal year 2011 because those are the most recent numbers available from the Ohio Department of Education.
The results show the amount of money districts get will continue to grow by fiscal year 2015 when the Cincinnati casino will have been operating for a full year.
Dayton Public Schools — the largest area district with about 14,174 students — would receive an estimated $269,306 for this fiscal year. Jefferson Twp. Local Schools, the smallest area district with only 419 students, would get about $7,961.
Those amounts are expected to climb in fiscal year 2014 when Sobul said districts can expect $50-$55 per pupil and also in fiscal year 2015 when they can expect about $57-$63 per pupil based on current estimates.
That means Dayton Public's annual share would climb to an estimated $807,918 by 2015 and Jefferson Twp. to $23,883.
The review of 13 Miami Valley districts' potential revenue indicates they collectively would receive nearly $5 million by fiscal year 2015, so the region as a whole, which has more than 40 school districts, would receive much more than that.
Dayton Public Schools spokeswoman Jill Moberley said the district hasn't been told how much it will receive "but we would apply those funds to address the widening financial gap created by declining state and local revenues. Local tax revenues declined by $1.3 million from FY11 to FY12, and we received $5.6 million less last year as a result of the accelerated phase out of Tangible Personal Property tax (TPP)."
Bob Hancock, treasurer for Hamilton City Schools, expects his district would get about $180,000 for the current fiscal year.
The district's share is expected to climb to $472,200 annually next fiscal year and $538,308 in fiscal year 2015, according to estimates.
"Any revenue stream helps us," Hancock said. "Does it solve a problem in a district that has a $170 million budget? Well, no."
Hancock added, "I don't know the gambling revenue stream is one that's going to save any of us. Because of where it comes from, I don't know that's really one that I'm too keen on. The lottery, any of that, I've never been too fond of as far as being a main stream of revenue for education. I don't quite get that logic. There are better ways to fund things."
The casino tax revenue is expected to have a smaller impact on education than lottery revenue, which has never been sent directly to districts but is built into the state aid districts receive.
Sobul said the lottery provides about $700 million a year for education, which is roughly four and a half times as much money as casino tax revenue is expected to generate for schools.
Chris Mohr, treasurer for Springfield City Schools, declined to speculate on how much the district could receive because he said the Department of Taxation hasn't provided official estimates.
"The amount of money will be placed in the general fund as part of our budget considerations for future years once we actually have casino money and can determine what future payments will be," he said.
Mohr called any additional revenue "a relief" since the state eliminated the district's TPP tax this fiscal year and replaced it with the Commercial Activity Tax,, which he said increases state revenue but decreases local school revenue.
"So whatever the casino money is going to be, I am certain it will not make up this permanent cut in state money," he said, noting the loss of more than $2.4 million annually in TPP reimbursements.

Ecstasy warning - June 2013
There are some ecstasy tablets going around which do not contain MDMA. Many users are finding these tablets unpleasant as they produce quite different effects to MDMA. Negative effects are more likely where multiple tablets have been used or where they have been used with other substances and/or alcohol.
The Mitsubishi tablets contain a hallucinogenic substance (either AMT or 5BIT). These drugs are active in low doses and can cause serious unpleasant side effects. This can include mental confusion and hallucinations: visuals, hearing things or feeling strange sensations (like things crawling over you).
The yellow tablets contain a very potent stimulant (either PMA/PMMA) which can cause toxic effects and have been linked to several deaths.
For your own safety, you are advised not to use tablets with these markings.
Signs of an overdose could include:
- hyperthermia (very high body temperature or overheating)
- dehydration
- rapid heart rate
- seizures
- severe nausea and vomiting
If you or your friends develop any unpleasant side effects, please contact your GP, call NHS 24 on 08454 242424 or visit A and E.
If you are concerned about your drug use and would like some support please contact the Hampshire Drug & Alcohol Recovery Service on 023 9268 3371 (24 hours)

Mainstream Yourself |
"Mainstreaming" is a hot concept lately. The basic idea is to introduce the disabled and disadvantaged into society with the same access and opportunities as the advantaged and able. But as usual, a good idea has bogged down under "programs" and "funding" or maybe "advocacy". Equal access depends, to a big degree, on the actions and advocacy of outsiders--people who mean well but have never spent twenty-four minutes, much less twenty-four hours, overcoming a single obstacle. One aspect of mainstreaming leaps out. True equality is one of choices and decisions, not always passive participation in a program helpfully designed by an expert. So, how does a physically challenged person recapture his freedom of choice and decision? The answer may surprise you - VOLUNTEER! A Wide Open Market Volunteering overcomes one of the most common prejudices that physically challenged people face in the work world... a lack of imagination. Most people have never considered that there are alternative ways of doing the same job. Most times, they are willing to be shown as long as they don't have to pay for it. It is out opportunity and responsibility to demonstrate a flexible approach to life. Yes, it is up to US. Laws help, but the best example is the sight of a physically challenged person functioning in normal day-to-day activities...the old "picture is worth a thousand words" approach. "Is everyone who works here like that?" questioned our latest visitor. "Like what?" the receptionist replied, somewhat confused. The visitor made a wide motion with his hand vaguely drawing a circle around the room. "The person answering the phone is in a wheelchair; the lady at the copier has braces and a cane; that lady is moving groceries with a scooter, and you just ran over my foot with your chair. Is everyone here sick?" he wailed. This scene did not occur at an Independent Living Center, but at our local volunteer office. No one was sick, of course. It was just a coincidence that several physically challenged volunteers were working on the same day. This was mainstreaming at its best--self-determined, worthwhile, and routine. Each of these volunteers had assessed what they had to offer and then found some place that needed their time and skills. Never mind that they may have been turned down previously for a paying job doing the same thing. What they were getting was payment of its own. The sense of doing something important to help others, of using old skills and learning new ones. They demonstrated publicly that disabled people have the same desire and commitment which they are willing to share in unique ways. Getting Started What interests you? What organizations in your area share this interest? Does the plight of the homeless move you? Do you enjoy working with children? Are you lonely and wondering where other lonely people like you are? What are you willing to do about it? What commitment are you willing to make? Once you have defined your interests and found an organization or group that shares them, think of ways you can contribute. Are you homebound? Volunteer for the telephone committee reminding others about schedules and meetings. Offer to put mass mailings together for your church bulletin. You can do that from bed. Can you type or use a computer? Hook up by phone to your local agency. Would you like to be a receptionist? How about reading stories to children in hospitals? Do you mouth paint? Do paintings and drawings of clowns or cartoon characters for the children's ward of a local day care center. Maybe you could teach Sunday school, or volunteer to visit Sunday school classes and explain about your disability to the children. Children are fascinated by demonstrations of adaptive equipment. Satisfy their curiosity and help form their attitudes. What about setting up a daily telephone tree to call other shut-ins? You call one, that person calls another, and so on. Your love and concern can branch out all over town like this in just an hour. Like to write? Volunteer to write a newsletter article for your local charitable group (like EDNF). How about Project Literacy? You could teach someone to read in your own home. Do you like music? Maybe you could lead a sing-a-long at a nursing home. Or like our friend at the Center, load your scooter with groceries for the needy. There is no end to your ability to give, and no end to the organizations that would be delighted to get help (like EDNF). These are just a few suggestions. Let your imagination run free. Do you want to work more directly for the interests of the physically challenged? Contact National Easter Seals about their guidelines for the press and media. Contact your local media people and go over the brochure with them. Put together a Special Friends group of others with disabilities for purposes of watching legislation and addressing community issues. Encourage your local Chamber of Commerce to form an advisory group to advise their member businesses on access and employment issues. Single out businesses which have shown outstanding responsibility, like installing Braille automated teller machines, and praise them. Get them positive publicity. Stuff envelopes for your favorite political candidate. Give a book review at the library. Desire is all you need to do any of these things. There will be obstacles, of course, but that is one thing you are used to overcoming. Mostly, you will be surprised to find how quickly and warmly you are welcomed into a volunteer organization. The rules are difference here. People work because they want to, and because they believe and are dedicated to a cause. If you believe too, and commit your time and efforts, you will be welcomed like anyone else. Fringe Benefits In addition to satisfaction, there are many other benefits to volunteering. In some states, volunteer work can be listed on a job application as valid experience without the obligation to state the job was unpaid. Some state rehabilitation agencies require that you demonstrate your rehab potential before they commit funds to your education or rehabilitation. Six months of regular volunteer work can be used to demonstrate your potential. Several of our volunteers have made valuable contacts that have led to paid employment. Others have picked up new job skills which have increased their marketability. One lady now does mailing labels for all the churches in town for pay. I run a counseling and advisory program by computer or telephone hook-up. Three disabled volunteers at a local independent living center applied and were accepted as VISTA volunteers and are now receiving a federal subsidy for their work. Conclusion This may be the answer you have looked for to take charge of your life. Your only limits are your imagination and sense of adventure. A word of warning though -- volunteering is contagious! Expect to catch the excitement and the good feelings. |

Ohio Monday, September 17, 2012
President Obama traveled to Ohio for two grassroots campaign events on Monday. The first was held at Eden Park's Seasongood Pavilion in Cincinnati. The second, was held at Schiller Park in Columbus.
The President detailed how his policies are aimed at middle-class families and compared his programs to that of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Early voting became an issue in Ohio after Ohio Secretary of State John Husted (R) announced new rules stating that local election boards could not set their own voting hours. Obama for America filed a lawsuit against Husted and he reversed his decision after a court overturned it.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
PINEHURST - Virginia "Ginsey" Fallon has served as an elected official in Pinehurst longer than anyone else, but that's not the only reason the Pinehurst Civic Group honored her last month.
The organization presented Fallon with its Distinguished Service Award on Feb. 19. The group gives the award to a person or group that has provided exceptional public service and made significant contributions to the vibrancy and continued health and welfare of the village.
Fallon served Pinehurst as mayor or councilwoman from 1993 to 2011. She also is a member of the village's water and beautification committees.
Brian Deaton, the group's secretary, presented the award to Fallon. He said her enduring legacy is her work with the Neighborhood Advisory Committee.
Pat Henry, president of the civic group, said Fallon and George Lane, also a former mayor, helped get the committee going. Fallon helped make it strong, he said.
"She got behind George's idea and made it come to life," Henry said.
Fallon said she wanted to make sure the committee, with representatives from various communities in Pinehurst, kept going after Lane died in February 2010.
"I said, 'We're going to continue this. It's a wonderful thing,' " she said.
Fallon said the committee was formed about four years ago to make sure all areas of the village had a voice.
"We felt every part of Pinehurst was just as important as every other part," she said.
Henry said Fallon is an appropriate recipient of the award.
"She's devoted over 20 years of service to the village in various forms," he said.
Fallon said she was honored to receive the award.
"I never felt I was doing anything wonderful," she said. "I enjoyed doing the work."

If your buzzwords are "Zen," "serene," and "relaxing," look no further than this 5 bedroom, 3.1 bath hillside ranch in east Highland Park!
This incredible, Milton Schwartz-designed home offers over 5,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space and is nestled perfectly into its ravine-like setting to make the most of the spectacular surroundings while updated to provide the latest in modern conveniences.
It's a sophisticated home with a contemporary feel – not the kind of "contemporary" that euphemizes late 80′s Miami Vice decor screaming for an update, but the kind that feels just right right now; it's clean and simple with a decidedly calm vibe.
Step inside the gracious foyer to a sweeping view of the main level with its hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with skylights, gas fireplace with limestone surround, recessed lighting, and floor to ceiling windows that bring in sunlight and views of the lush landscape.
The open and well thought out floor plan has an easy flow between kitchen, living room, and dining room, making it the perfect space for hosting parties and holidays. The large foyer can handle overflow seating from the adjacent dining room, so you won't run out of room for guests and can include all of your extended family in every event – if you want to!
The heart of this home is its completely updated NuHaus kitchen. Featuring maple cabinetry, granite counter tops, top of the line stainless steel appliances, bar seating and a planning desk, this kitchen is for the most serious of cooks and the busiest of moms or grand-moms who need a "home base" from which to juggle hectic schedules.
Greet the day with your morning coffee in the sun-filled breakfast room, situated perfectly between the kitchen and living room and surrounded on two 2 sides by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the backyard deck and patio.
The expansive main level also features a master bedroom with a luxuriously updated, Zen-inspired bathroom and a huge closet, plus two additional bedrooms and full hall bath, fabulous mudroom, updated powder room, and loads of closet space.
Follow the staircase with its dramatic custom railing from the living room to a lower level complete with huge family room/play room, rec room, bonus room, two bedrooms and a full bath.
This 2800 sq. foot space offers flexibility in its usage: the family room is perfect for low-key teens to hang out or rambunctious children to play with abandon; the huge rec room can be a home theater or exercise room and the bonus room a wine cellar, dark room, or tween clubhouse; the fifth bedroom works perfectly as home office space. The convenient exterior access means you can have a separate entrance/exit for guests and clients. There are plenty of windows to let in incredible views and keep the lower level open and bright, elevating this space way above the status of "basement."
If you're ready to be wowed by breathtaking space and are looking for the perfect place to relax, entertain and simply live, this fabulous, light-filled home – in a dream location close to town, train and schools – is waiting for you.
Offered at $1,075,000.

Excellent Body Cream
I love this cream. While Suki's facial products did not work wonders for me, this cream in conjunction with the body exfoliating wash really makes my back, chest, and arms feel silky smooth. Also, it has really reduced the number of blemishes and bumps I get on my back and chest from a handful to only one pimple once in a while. I would recommend this with the body exfoliating wash to all!

Wilderness Frequently Asked Questions
Wilderness areas are special places where the earth and its community of life are essentially undisturbed. They retain a primeval character, without permanent improvements and generally appear to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature. The Bureau of Land Management is responsible for 222 Wilderness Areas with 8.6 million acres in 10 Western States (3 percent of BLM's total acreage in the contiguous United States).
Help to preserve your wilderness areas by following these guidelines offered by the nonprofit organization Leave No Trace.
Why were Wilderness Areas designated?In 1964, Congress established the National Wilderness Preservation System and designated the first Wilderness Areas in passing the Wilderness Act. These areas of undeveloped federal land retain their primeval character without permanent improvement or human habitation and are managed to preserve their natural conditions. They offer outstanding opportunities for solitude and may contain ecological, geological or other scientific, scenic or historical values. What Wilderness Areas are in New MexicoThere are five Wilderness managed by the BLM in New Mexico:
The NLCS: A Geography of Hope (video)

Short Biography
For the first time ever, US superstar DIERKS BENTLEY and Aussie country icon LEE KERNAGHAN are hitting the road together for a series of explosive concerts in March, hot on the heels of their #1 hit duet 'Scars'.Aussie audiences went crazy for DIERKS BENTLEY (USA) when he joined Brooks & Dunn on their sold-out 2009 Australian arena tour. Since he rocketed onto the country landscape in 2003, the chiselled hitmaker has earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in music today, with a string of chart topping hits and album sales climbing over 5 million in the US. 20 years of incredible hits have cemented LEE KERNAGHAN as the modern-day King of Australian Country Music. He has criss-crossed the country countless times and his fans keep coming back for more of his patented brand of hard rocking, uniquely Australian country. Lee has just released his 2-CD "Ultimate Hits" package in September which catalogues one of the great Australian music careers.
In-depth BiographyGrowing up in a non-musical family in Phoenix, Arizona, country singer Dierks Bentley got his country music education on his own, listening to recordings. A love of the music inspired him to move to Nashville at the age of 19, but he quickly grew discouraged by the lack of public and professional interest coming his way. It all changed when he walked into the Station Inn, a bar where the bluegrass faithful hang out. An all-night jam session recharged his batteries and he restarted pursuing gigs. He landed a job at the TNN television network doing research on classic country music and by night he worked on his demos. Capitol Records heard the artist, signed him, and released his self-titled debut, Dierks Bentley, in 2003, which yielded the impossibly catchy single "What Was I Thinkin'." Bringing his love of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings more to the forefront, Modern Day Drifter followed two years later and became a Top Ten hit. In 2006, he returned with Long Trip Alone, a more polished effort that was commercial but not crass. Greatest Hits: Every Mile a Memory arrived in 2008, a bit early in his career for that, perhaps, but it did contain his key charting singles and added in fan-selected live tracks as a bonus, making it a nice summation of Bentley's work up to that point. A new album, Feel That Fire, was released in early 2009, followed by the bluegrass-themed Up on the Ridge in 2010. His sixth album, Home, released in 2012, featured a dozen new songs that the singer road tested on tour, and it was an eclectic and varied affair, with guest spots from Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild, as well as Tim O'Brien and Sam Bush, among others. ~ David Jeffries & Steve Leggett, Rovi
