Tom Brinkman, spokesman for an anti-levy group, Citizens United against Taxes and Spending, was not impressed by the rally. "It's a great antithesis of what we're doing," he said. "We're out trying to make ends meet and they're running kids around from pep rallies.

They're using the kids like bait when the kids don't get a penny from the levy it goes straight to the teachers and administrators." But to parents many of whom emptied spare change from their pockets into buckets for campaign contributions the presence of children was important because the rally and the levies are for them. "We've got our kids in what we believe are good schools, and we want them to be even better," said Amy Harris, of Walnut Hills, who attended the event with her two children, her sister and five of her nieces and nephews. "This is where it all starts." Her nephew, Cedric Harris, a 9-year-old 4th-grader at Douglas Elementary, also wants the levies to pass. He even made his own sign, but had to resort to carrying a pre-printed one when his blew into the river. "I want to support my school," he said.

"If I don't, they're not going to have any money for us kids." CONTINUED FROM PAGE CI fore," said Eileen Barkey, who teaches a multiage class of first and second graders at Oyler Elementary. "I think it's great. I hope it works." On Tuesday, Cincinnati voters will be asked to approve two measures for the schools: a renewal of a levy that currently brings in $19.4 million, and a new, 5-mill levy that would bring in about $26 million annually. The renewal levy will not raise taxes for residents; the new levy, if approved, would result in a tax increase. The owner of a $100,000 home, for example, would see an increase of $150 a year in property taxes.

Brewster Rhoads, the director of the levy campaign, said the rally which he organized may become an annual event. "It's a way for people to express their pride in the schools and, in an emotional way, rededi-cate themselves to the schools," he said. Teachers who have been in the district for years praised the outpouring of support and called it the most impressive showing they have seen. "When I came around that corner and saw all these people-and baby carriages, it really made me feel good because people really do care," said Jacqueline Goodwin, who teaches sixth grade at Whitti- Deer: Bow hunters to stalk suburb CONTINUED FROM PAGE CI mals, Haines said. And when deer from Indian Hill stray, they have interstates 71 and 275, the densely developed Kenwood area and other populous suburbs for playgrounds.

Regardless of the growing herd, Pavey maintains people can learn to live with deer. Fences and barriers can protect private property. Motorists can slow down, put deer warning devices on cars and be more alert, she said. Pavey, who is now bottle-feeding four of five abandoned young deer at her home, thinks many residents share her views. But Mike Burns, Indian Hill city manager, said most comments directed to him support reducing the herd.

While some people view deer hunting with thoughts of Bambi, the animals have become a plague, said former Mayor Jim Bridgeland. "They're overrunning communities," he said. City Manager Burns wants to make one point clear: It is not open hunting season in Indian Hill. Only 30 bow hunters have been given permits. No more permits will be issued this year.

"The program is closed for this year. Please don't call to ask," Burns said. Hunters are regulated to protect residents, Burns said. Hunting locations are restricted, they cannot be near a home or horse trail, and hunters cannot take a shot unless they are 25 yards from the deer. "The program is as safe as it can be," he said.

"People have a far less chance to be injured as a result of this bow-hunting program than they do to drive down the road and run into a deer." Frank, the cabinetmaker whose "deer-colored Olds" had $3,000 damage last year in two collisions with deer, said his family has been lucky the accidents weren't more serious. "What if one runs out in front of a school bus," he said. "My children ride the bus, and the thought of that really worries me." rn Four-legged intruders cause mm headaches at airports, too curb the problem of deer too close For the last 11 years, our Great Sell-Off has been the largest Sale of Fine Home Furnishings in the Tri-State area.

The culprit is the whitetail deer. The population in Hamilton County is increasing nearly 10 percent each year, according to Todd Haines, district supervisor for the Ohio Division of Wildlife. A twin-engine plane landed safely at Lunken Airport on Wednesday after striking a deer during takeoff.

The nose gear of the aircraft was damaged, but the pilot and passenger were uninjured. "The last few years this has become a bigger problem and safety concern," said Martha Lunken, a flight standards officer of the FAA stationed at Lunken airport. Although Wednesday's incident was the first such collision that officials knew of, airports have been working for some time to to the runway. Solutions range from deer-proof fences to a more drastic method killing them. Haines said that airports can obtain permits to shoot deer.

"We value the deer's life, but the bottom line is that if it's a safety hazard, airports have to do whatever needs to be done to protect airline travelers," Haines said. None of the three local airports has a deer-proof fence, an expensive investment that requires constant upkeep. Dale Keith, director of operations at CincinnatiNorthern Kentucky International Airport, said the airport allows employees to hunt deer in season. The problem increases during October and November, the breeding season. "The bucks aren't monogamous," Haines said, "so they're constantly on the move.

Unfortunately, they don't always look where they're going." DECOR, DINING ROOMS, DINETTES, GIFTS AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.
