DRIVERS: DON'T ASK US TO PAY FOR NEW BRIDGE
The Cincinnati Enquirer has a report that indicates that a majority of drivers in the region oppose tolls to pay for the Brent Spence Bridge project:
“Find other ways,” said Steele, 49, who works at Thompson Machining Services, a manufacturing company in Brookville, Ind. Steele, who lives in Latonia, is not alone. A bare majority of the Cincinnati region’s adults oppose tolls on a replacement, a new Enquirer Poll shows, with opposition stronger in Northern Kentucky.Cincinnati Enquirer/Jason Williams

Holmes High School Band gives out honors:
Good times were had by all Friday at the annual Holmes Band Picnic/Awards Celebration. Even though mother nature was up to her mean tricks again everyone had a good time celebrating the accomplishments of the band. A few of the top honors went to:|
Patrick Gilmore Award - Nick Miller, Josh RamosDirectors Award - Erie Fisher, Trevor RhodesQuincy Jones Award - Zack Grueter, Chris BishopLouis Armstrong Award (jazz) - Thomas RossWoody Herman Award (jazz) - Jinnah Salaah, Zack Grueter
Many more awards were given out and everybody should be congratulated on a fantastic school year. Normally this is a time of honoring seniors for their time and service with the band program but this year we are not graduating any students. Plans are already underway for the 2012-2013 band season and it is shaping up to be a great one.
CINCINNATI FIGHTS WAY BACK INTO HEARTS OF HIP AND TRENDY
Another report on how cool Cincinnati is becoming:
Cincinnati has always done an impressive job of mixing past and present -- its most popular attractions are updated versions of places that have drawn visitors for years, including the Museum Center in historic Union Terminal and Fountain Square, which on warm summer nights is crammed with people.Cleveland Plain-Dealer/Susan Glaser
Cincinnati -- despite its conservative politics -- has always seemed to me to have more in common with Cleveland than the capital city that lies between them. Both Cleveland and Cincinnati sit on important bodies of water and are historic industrial powerhouses trying to reinvent themselves. And both have decades of racial turmoil that they never seem quite able to overcome.
