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.

Don’t forget Mom
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. I found some fun Mother’s Day “facts” on wikipedia.org, including some of the holidays ancestors: • “Mothering Sunday” in the UK and Ireland is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was originally a time when Catholics were supposed to travel to attend Mass in their “Mother Church” (the regional cathedral) rather than in their local parish. By the Reformation, it had changed into an occasion for children to visit parents. • “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” organized by Anna Jarvis’s mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis to improve sanitation and health in the area. • The “Mother’s Day” anti-war observances founded by Julia Ward Howe in 1872. What we now know as Mother’s Day orginated from the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother, Ann, who was active in Mother’s Day campaigns for peace and worker’s safety and health since the end of American Civil War.
