Wind happens
I am borrowing my title from a co-worker who wants to make this a T-shirt.
Anyway, I just got an update for you from Lakota. All buildings now have electricity. Plains was the final building to get on board, and it is also the one with the most damage. A hole in the roof has been fixed. Officials said to expect school tomorrow, but an announcement will be made between 6 and 8 p.m. tonight, Sept. 17. They are waiting on a final road report to ensure they are safe for bus travel. Not sure if you saw the article on our site, but a wire hit a Mason bus today. The children were safe, but the potential danger was another reason Lakota made the final call last night to cancel. All the food is back in the building except for Plains. There are milk deliveries happening, and some buildings will have more supplies than others. For that reason, all children can expect a lunch, but it won’t coordinate with the meal calendar and it may be different depending on what each building has in stock. All the milk and ice cream got thrown out.

Creekside students go Green
Can anything be cuter than first-graders running gleefully to neighborhood storm drains placing anti-pollution signs?
No really. It was adorable.
Creekside Elementary students told me why preventing pollution in the water supply would ultimately save sharks and fish. It would keep their school creek cleaner and clean up other bodies of water in Butler County.
I especially loved the creativity they showed when they created garbage pick-up contraptions.
I have photos and a story about the event. I also want to plug the Butler County Soil and Water Conservation District at http://www.stormwaterdistrict.com
or http://www.butlercountyohio/conservation

A look at terrorism
Raymond Walters College in Cincinnati is hosting what I think might be an interesting art exhibit. For all of you who saw the bodies exhibit, I think this exhibit packs a much stronger social message.
According to a press release from the college, a documentary photographer Diane Covert used X-ray and CT-scans from two of Jerusalem’s largest hosptials to explore the affects of terrorism on the civilian population.
“Inside Terrorism: The X-ray Project” will be held May 16 through May 28. The free event is at the Science and Allied Health Building (SAHB), 9555 Plainfield Road, Blue Ash. The exhibit will be accessible Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Those in the photos are civilian victims of terrorism; ordinary people going about their lives who represent a broad cross-section of humanity. The people featured in the kiosks and wall pieces represent a range of people.
Covert explains, “The idea for Inside Terrorism began to coalesce in my mind in 2002 as a personal response to terrorism and to my discomfort with the way terrorism has been justified in some circles. This is a documentary of survivors of terrorism. Much like photographer Mathew Brady documented the Civil War, people in emergency rooms today are documenting the effects of terrorism.” Raymond Walters College opted to host the exhibit as part of the college-s 40th anniversary celebration because it fosters dialogue and thought.
