Bertram hired by Northwest
Lebanon City Schools Treasurer Randy Bertram has been hired for the same position in the Northwest Local School district. Bertram sent a letter to the school board and to the media detailing his situation. It reads: I eagerly anticipate starting my new position as the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer for Northwest Local Schools on August 1, 2008. My family and I look forward to relocating to Cincinnati and becoming a part of the community. As long time resident’s of Waynesville, we feel connected to the area and we are pleased to be staying in southwest Ohio. As I leave Lebanon City School District I want to commend the Board, district staff and community for stepping up and helping this excellent school district overcome some of the most difficult financial times it has seen. I am proud to say that the district has been restored to financial stability and its’ integrity is once again strong and vibrant. With a slow economy and unsettled state funding, the community needs to understand that there are still challenges and needs that are upon the district. Continued work and commitment by the staff and community are of the utmost importance for Lebanon City School’s future. I wish all of you the very best and I will miss this wonderful community and staff. As the Treasurer for Northwest Local Schools I will work diligently with the Board of Education, district staff and the community to plan objectives and clearly reach goals while maintaining accurate and current financial data. I will strive for financial integrity for the district and community.

Poetry Month
It seems everything has a “month” in which is it celebrated. Among several other causes, April is the first ever National Poetry Month. Check out the site for ways to celebrate, like “poem in your pocket” day (April 17). My favorite poets are T.S. Eliot (specifically “Four Quartets”), Shel Silverstein and Edgar Allan Poe. Who do you like to read? Do you write poetry? Share your thoughts.

Huzzah for celebrating poetry. I feel it is often a misunderstood experience. You can’t “nestle in” with a good poem like you can with a book, but poems often provide deeper, more thoughtful experiences. For my money you can’t beat a good Shakespearean sonnet or the works of Walt Whitman.By Dany

I used to write poetry but don’t seem to find the time anymore. Do they have a poetry class at either high school? Kids need to be exposed to it so they get the chance to decide if they like it or not. I also like Shel Silverstein, do you know he lives in Key West? He seems like an eccentric guy.By kentucky bluebird

I write poetry and have for many years. Sometimes it is like the words come bursting from deep inside me,they almost leap onto the pages.Other times the Words refuse to come together for me, then out of the blue a simple phrase streaks through my mind and everything fits .By kentucky bluebird
