Remembering John.

“During Goldmine’s first National Record Show, in September 2000 at The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, dealers and the Goldmine staff were given a behind-the-scenes look at some recently acquired items that had not yet been shown publicly. Among the items was the jean jacket Lennon wore during the ‘70s. There were few embellishments on the jacket, but he had sewn a Dark Horse Records patch on it.” - “Letter from the editor” by Greg Loescher, Goldmine, January 25, 2002 “The idea of John not being here doesn’t bother me so much because — he is here, to me. That’s what the whole life of Christ was, to show people, ‘You dug him then — re-dig him now.’ To realize that it’s the spirit, not the body. And I’ve learned whatever the years. In a way, you don’t need a living guru in front of you, because he’s in front of your spiritual eye, every time you close your eyes and go inside. They’re all there, all our friends and loved ones, all our relatives. Everybody is there. So the way he died was tragic. But: ‘If your memory serves you well, we’re gonna meet again…’ [...] They can kill the man, but they can’t kill the spirit. They can’t kill what he meant to you.” - George Harrison, Musician, March 1990 (x)

Is There A Cincinnati Neighborhood That Has Never Claimed A Haunted House?

As the Eve of All Hallows looms, let us ponder an assortment of Cincinnati’s classic haunted houses of yore. This list could easily be doubled or tripled in length.

Steele Subdivision Poor Fred Limke met a dreadful end in 1916. A plasterer by trade, Mr. Limke lived on Witler Street in Cumminsville. He had been employed by a contractor working in the Steele Subdivision of Springfield Township on the border of College Hill. Mr. Limke’s body was found in the “vault” or privy pit, half-buried in “debris.” (Let’s stick to euphemisms, shall we?) He had not been seen for some time and the delay in locating his earthy and earthly remains was the result of this “vault” being located on the grounds of a haunted house. Vacant by then for many years, the house in question, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer [11 November 1916] had formerly been occupied by a restaurant and poolroom. Neighbors for some years had reported unnatural sights and sounds in the vicinity of the house.

“So firm are they in their belief the house is inhabited by a spirit that police could not persuade them to approach the vault in which the body was found.”

Perhaps. Perhaps it was the emanations from that debris which kept them away.

Dublin Street Down near the bottom of Eggleston Avenue, where the bloody Deer Creek once vomited into the Ohio River, there once was a quite destitute Irish neighborhood named Dublin Street. In 1903, the denizens of Dublin Street cowered in their houses after dark, afraid to venture forth because “Ginger” Ryan had returned. Ginger had been a giant of a man with a decidedly short temper. He drove an express wagon, drank whiskey by the quart and battered any poor soul who looked at him sideways. When Ginger died, there was great relief in Dublin Street and now, here he was, back again, his temper intact. The Enquirer [20 October 1903] reported that the ghost rose up one night from a manhole located near the spot where his old livery stable stood, bathed in a “ghastly glow” and fully recognizable by those who knew Ginger all too well.

“The spirit, they claim, wandered around the open mouth of the manhole. It went through the actions of ‘Ginger’ when he hitched up his horse and wagon when alive. It was in view five minutes and then disappeared into the manhole. The story spread with great rapidity that the ghost has appeared at a certain hour every night since. Many declare they have seen it, and all swear there is no fake about it. The ghost is the real thing, but nobody up there cares to shake the shade of ‘Ginger’ by the hand and bid it welcome.”

East End It’s all demolished now, but there once was a small riverfront community a stone’s throw upriver from Dublin Street, where a long-gone byway named Collord Street intersected Front Street. A Mrs. McDonald kept a small house there and rented an even smaller house behind it to a Mrs. Loescher. One night this tenant was awakened by a shower of stones and wooden paving blocks plopping onto her roof and porch. So loud were the impacts of these projectiles that a small crowd gathered to watch and determine the source of the onslaught. Rumors spread that it was the ghost of a Mrs. Ormston who was behind it all. Older residents claimed the McDonald family had cheated Mrs. Ormston out of $500 and that she had gone to her grave cursing that family. Others pointed to a spiritualist who had held seances in his house on the neighboring Kittall Alley, while another group hypothesized that it was all the doing of a Mrs. Walsh who lived on the nearby slopes of Mount Adams. After her death some years back, residents of Collord Street said they saw Mrs. Walsh floating through the air clad in white or appearing at their windows. Whatever the cause, Mrs. Loescher’s yard and porch were soon littered with bricks, branches and debris of all sorts. The police suggested that a gang of teenage girls were the real culprits, but they were never charged.

West End The rather tony neighborhood that once graced the far western reaches of Eighth Street, out between Cutter and Linn, disappeared under the interstate highway ages ago. The Cincinnati Tribune [31 August 1895] described the agitation of the occupants of a high-class boarding house on that block. Not only the residents, but the landlady herself, were awakened night after night by mysterious rapping sounds apparently emanating from the headboards of their beds. First in one room, then another, on this floor then that floor, the rhythmic knocking awakened all the sleepers in the house.

In addition to the violent rat-tat-tat, residents noticed that a door at the end of a long first-floor hallway would not stay shut. No matter how often they closed the door and ensured that it snapped shut, it would inevitably be found ajar just minutes later. That door led into the cellar, utterly unused for years. The floor of the cellar was clay and was covered by a layer of sand about a foot and a half deep. As it happened, some workmen were engaged in repairing a brick wall along the rear of the property and were using this sand in their mortar. As one of the masons jabbed his shovel into the cellar floor, he struck something that was neither clay nor sand. It was a human skeleton.

Investigation revealed that the building, now divided into multiple rooms, had once been the residence and office of Doctor Thaddeus A. Reamy, a distinguished professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Although the Tribune suggested that Doctor Reamy may have had something to do with the skeleton in the cellar, he was never questioned about the situation and the peculiar manifestations continued unabated.

Newport The Cincinnati Tribune [9 March 1894] carried the news of an unruly mob gathered in front of a house on Lindsey Street in Newport. The house had gained a terrible reputation a few years earlier when a little girl residing there died from choking on a toy balloon. The evening gathering had witnessed an apparition that seemed to have nothing to do with the tragic toddler. More than one hundred people crowded onto Lindsey Street to witness a ghastly sight in the front windows. It was a spectral hand, holding a flaming torch, passing from window to window, occasionally stopping to wave the torch in a threatening manner. Some observers claimed that the fingers of the ghostly extremity were covered in diamonds. A couple local men (it was not clear whether or not they had been visiting the nearby saloon) volunteered to investigate and barged into the house. They emerged to report they had seen nothing unusual. The crowd, incredulous, hung around for the next appearance.

Evanston The Cincinnati Post [28 July 1897] announced that a vacant house on Gilpin Avenue in Evanston was undoubtedly haunted by the ghosts of a poor peddler who, along with his infant child, were murdered some years before at that address. Each evening, the ghost of the peddler, carrying his baby’s ghost, wandered through the decrepit old building, accompanied by the requisite moaning and shrieking. The very next day, the Post published, well, not a retraction, actually – more of an explanation. The ghost story had been dreamed up by neighborhood parents, concerned about their children playing in the run-down dump. The stratagem worked. The children stayed away from the house and ran past it in fright.

Education

California voters could give schools $10 billion. How much would it help San Diego County — and how fair is it?

This November, California voters will decide whether to pass a $10 billion school facilities bond to help districts and community colleges renovate and replace aging school buildings across the state.

But several say it will not come close to meeting many schools’ enormous facilities needs, particularly in rural districts — including several in San Diego County.

Proposition 2 would provide $8.5 billion for TK-12 school facilities and $1.5 billion for community college facilities. The measure needs a simple majority to pass.

State bonds generally do not directly raise taxes. Rather, the state typically sells bonds and pays them back with interest out of its general budget over the course of decades.

Voters have not passed a state school facilities bond since 2016, which provided $9 billion for K-12 schools and community colleges. The last proposed bond was for $15 billion and failed four years ago, when 53 percent of voters chose to reject it.

The state’s current pool of school facilities bond money is running out. Proposition 2 would help reduce an outstanding state bond waiting list of more than 870 school projects totaling $3.4 billion in bond money requests — including more than $225 million from San Diego County districts.

California education leaders say many schools are in dire need of replacement. More than a third of public K-12 schools did not meet minimum facility standards as of 2020, according to a report by Public Policy Institute of California.

Many school buildings were erected decades ago and are now outdated, deteriorating, out of compliance with accessibility and other requirements, and even unsafe or unhealthy, educators say.

In Vista Unified in North County, for example, district leaders are hoping to get more than $13 million in state funds to help replace buildings, many of them portables.

The classroom portables weren’t meant to be used for more than 20 years, but in many districts including Vista, they have been used a decade or more past their intended lifespan, said Assistant Superintendent Shawn Loescher. In several cases that means classrooms with musty smells, leaking roofs and gray carpet held together with tape.

Vista is working on replacing old school buildings to fix other problems, ranging from ADA-noncompliant bathrooms to lunch quads so small that students have to eat lunch in shifts.

“Environments do matter for children,” Loescher said. “This is not close to ideal.”

While educators generally agree on the need for more facilities funding, many critics say inequities are baked into the way California doles out school facilities funds.

The amount districts get is based on how much bond money school districts can raise on their own through their own local bond measures — so the system sends more money to wealthier school districts that have more property value within their boundaries and less to poorer districts. Critics have called it wealth-based discrimination by the state.

As a result, studies have found that the state has given disproportionately more to school districts with more property wealth, and less to low-wealth districts.

A study by the UC Berkeley Center for Cities and Schools found that the top quintile of school districts with the highest assessed property values and bonding capacity per student have received $11,008 in state school bond funding per student, compared to just $1,393 per student for the lowest quintile of districts.

Currently, the state pays for 60 percent of a facility project cost and expects districts to pay the other 40 percent.

Public Advocates, a law firm and advocacy group that has been a major voice calling for the state to reform how it funds school facilities, instead wants a sliding scale system: The poorest districts would get as much as a 95 percent state funding match while paying 5 percent, and the wealthiest districts would receive 5 percent from the state while paying 95 percent.

Proposition 2 would institute sliding scales, but much narrower ones — it would only pay districts between 50 and 65 percent, depending on the type of project, district’s property tax base and the percentage of students enrolled who are disadvantaged.

Factoring in the latter would give a boost to large school districts that enroll many low-income students but already have high property wealth, like Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified, Public Advocates noted.

Proposition 2’s new formula wouldn’t go far enough to fix the inequities of the current funding system, said Public Advocates deputy managing attorney Nicole Gon Ochi. The firm said it is considering suing the state over the measure’s distribution formula.

“We believe that the very minor changes to the distribution formula are not enough to overcome some of the constitutional problems,” Gon Ochi said.

District leaders and education advocates argue that system is unfair particularly to rural districts, which tend to have much less assessed property value within their boundaries and more trouble passing their own bonds.

Some rural district leaders say voters in their districts tend to be less likely to approve bond measures, as their electorates often include many political conservatives, low-income families and retirees on fixed incomes.

Rural and small districts also often lack the administrative staffing and expertise to work on facilities. For example, Borrego Springs Unified in eastern San Diego County, which serves about 345 students in three schools, has only four people working in its district office — none a facilities expert, said Superintendent Mark Stevens.

And even when a rural district does manage to get a bond passed, it often won’t come close to covering the costs to replace their aging buildings. That’s because rural districts often have far less assessed property value within their boundaries that they can tax to raise bond money — in other words, they have smaller maximum bond capacities.

Mountain Empire Unified, a vast school district spanning 660 square miles in far East County that serves more than 1,800 students, has suffered unsafe, non-compliant and failing buildings for years.

Many problems are concentrated at the high school, where students and staff deal regularly with alternately steamy and frigid classrooms, deteriorating walls that let in pests, a bumpy athletic field that causes players to trip, failing utilities and more. Similar facilities problems plague schools across the district, from a lack of clean drinking water to leaking roofs and ADA-noncompliant pathways.

Mountain Empire narrowly passed a $15 million bond in 2018. But that amount was only enough to fund new facilities for its middle school. District administrators estimate it would cost as much as $65 million to redo the high school alone.

The district tried to pass another $20 million bond last spring, but it failed with 51 percent of the vote when it needed 55 percent.

“Some school districts are passing bonds, and those bonds are putting in turf fields … and pools and theaters. I’m just trying to get clean and reliable drinking water and a building that is structurally sound for students to be in,” said Superintendent Patrick Keeley.

Borrego Springs Unified has passed just one bond in half a century, Stevens said.

Its only bond passed in 2018 and raised $8.6 million — enough to replace the high school’s failing sewer and electrical systems, replace two portable classrooms and create a safe drop-off zone for the elementary school, and place perimeter fencing around all its campuses, among other projects, he said.

But those funds are now spent, and the district still needs major renovations to the elementary school’s electrical, water and sewer systems, as well as its kitchens, athletic fields, gymnasium and locker rooms, Stevens said. And between COVID-19 and rising construction costs, the district had to dip into general operations funds just to finish the projects begun under the bond measure.

The most Borrego Springs could ever raise through its own bond measure is $13 million. But Stevens estimates the district needs twice that to pay for everything it needs.

“The bonds that are passed are not large enough to fulfill the increasing needs of the district,” Stevens wrote in an email.

The amounts rural districts can raise pale in comparison to, say, San Diego Unified, the state’s second-largest district in terms of enrollment and arguably the county’s most successful at getting bonds passed.

From 2008 to 2022, San Diego Unified raised $11.5 billion through four bond measures. The most recent one, Measure U, was approved two years ago by 65 percent of voters — well above the 55 percent needed to pass.

San Diego Unified has also collected at least $592 million in state school bond money over the past two decades, according to state records. It has pending applications on the state’s waitlist to receive an additional $60.8 million in matching funds for facilities projects.

“San Diego Unified has sought out state funding opportunities to maximize the district’s investments in quality educational facilities,” said San Diego Unified facilities director Lee Dulgeroff in a statement. “The district will continue to pursue funding opportunities that benefit San Diego Unified students.”

If a district cannot raise bond funds on its own, they can still get state aid by applying for what’s called financial hardship. But rural district leaders say it’s a long and complicated process that often requires them to front money and staff time to put together construction plans before even submitting the application.

Financial hardship also provides relatively limited help in California — the program only makes up about 7 percent of state school bond funds that are awarded, Public Advocates found.

Proposition 2 would raise the maximum bonding capacity for which a district can qualify for financial aid from $5 million to $15 million.

Despite everything, school districts including several rural ones say they support Proposition 2 — they’ll take any chance to get any money for school facilities, which they say are a constant under-funded need.

“Funding school facilities is important, so if this is the bill that is put forth, then that’s what we have to get behind,” Keeley said. *Reposted article from the UT by Kristen Taketa on July 22, 2024

Jeremiah Dønier emailed from Langly, WA: "Hello Marc,

I tried signing up for your mailing list but got an error message saying the mailing list is not active.

My family and I live on the windswept isle of Whidbey upon the Salish Sea. I stumbled across your app in May after canceling my iTunes subscription and we are loving the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. A few weeks ago, we enjoyed a couple of hours of the music as we pickled some pints of cucumbers (see attached photo).

My love of Celtic music goes back to my family's roots. My dad's kin are mostly from the Swiss Alps and Scandinavia, but my mom's family came from Scotland and Ireland to settle in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800s. So, I grew up listening to Celtic folk tunes played by my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

Then I began listening to a range of Celtic music as a teenager in the mid - 1990s. Of course, I enjoyed the explosion of modern Celtic music during this time with crossovers into New Age and Rock. Many purists deride this as faux Celtic but it didn't matter to me. I like the flitting of flutes, braggadocio of bagpipes, and harmony of harps. One of my favorite memories from back then, was going to an oversold a Colcannon show in Ellensburg, Washington and I was seated on the stage!

Since then, I accumulated an eclectic collection of Celtic tunes. During the pandemic I began looking through my older CDs and found "Celtic Legacy A Global Celtic Journey" by the Narada. It features are a number of groups from Ireland, Breton, Wales, and Scotland and the American Celtic diaspora. Then I noticed there a group stands out as bit different and it has become one of my favorites: Milladoiro.

They come from northwest Spain which I learned is a region rich but often overlooked in Celtic history. Indeed, research shows many cultural and genetic links between Ireland, Galicia, and the Basques.

Anyway, I wanted to say hello, share a bit about me and my love of Celtic music. Throughout the week the podcast is my way to relax. With over 500 episodes it is going to take me awhile to get through them all. I love how you feature so many different types of Celtic music with differrent themes.

So, all this leads me to I wonder if you've ever done a show on global Celtic music? Perhaps you could feature some of those groups like Milladoiro that add a bit a different flavor to the Celtic tunes we love.
