![]() ![]() "It's just that with facilities, we have no other (funding) options," Yater said. Yater said he knows his community appreciates the district's fiscal responsibility when it comes to operating costs − he doesn't see a need for a tax hike in the next five years, at least. Northwest can't count on state funds for its necessary facilities work, either. "You're kind of tearing communities apart with this stuff." "It really is not good for communities," Broadwater said. He's hoping to get community discussions started soon to address the state school funding model and lack of state funding for Loveland schools. "There are some districts that love the state funding because they get a lot, and then there's some districts, the wealthier districts, do not," Broadwater said. ![]() Various districts get drastically different funds based on the state's formula, which many believe does not provide proper funding for school facilities and materials across the state. Ohio's school funding model has been deemed unconstitutional for more than two decades. "We're just looking to maintain what we have." School funding: Is there a better way? "We're not looking to bring anything back," Broadwater said on Wednesday. ![]() 1, 2024.įor the rest of this year, Loveland will be burning through its cash reserves. Now, the district will have to wait until Jan. If the levy had passed in November, it would have been different because the funds would have kicked in on the first of the year. Unlike Northwest, Loveland voters had a change of heart.īut even with this levy passage, Superintendent Mike Broadwater said, it's too late to bring back any of the cuts some community members were hoping for, like high school busing. Like Northwest, Loveland put up a repeat measure in May after its levy failed in November. ![]() Last week voters in southwest Ohio approved school measures in four districts, including at Forest Hills Local School District and Loveland City Schools, and rejected four others, including at Winton Woods City School District and Ross Local Schools. "Even if we wanted to just do repairs to our buildings, we would still be asking our community for a bond." "No," Yater told The Enquirer on Thursday, two days after the bond issue failed for a second time. Is there another way to address the district's aging buildings and maintenance needs? It failed again, this time with 75% of voters against it. The district put the bond up again last week. In November, 64% of voters went against the measure. The catch: It depended on voters passing a 38-year, 4.98 mill bond issue. That plan also included two new middle schools (to address capacity issues that force student small groups to meet in closets and staff offices to be housed in vacant locker rooms) and renovations to Monfort Heights Elementary School. The school is 100 years old and was set to be replaced in the district's master facilities plan, which rolled out in 2021. In the winter, it "really bakes the rooms," and instructional materials that teachers put up in their classrooms tend to "melt off the walls." The boiler heater at Colerain Elementary School is old and difficult to control, Northwest Local School District Superintendent Darrell Yater said. ![]()

![]() Why would anyone care that random chance is a part of this game, when it’s been done so many times before?Īfter having finished the game, I can see what they were going for, but it still seems like a weird way to sell the experience. It seemed odd, then, that Lost in Random appeared so excited over such an ancient concept in games. And games haven’t slowed down this usage, with RNG being so common that it’s barely worth mentioning. ![]() ![]() The earliest videogame RPGs were mostly based on Dungeons & Dragons mechanics, using random-number-generation (RNG) to simulate the roll of the dice.

Your goal is simply earn the best score that you can. ![]() You play only a single card at a time in this mode, and there is no pattern to match. The other mode offered in Slingo Quest is the Classic Mode. These different islands and powerups add more variety to the game, as well as a bit of strategy. Jokersville adds Jokers and Super Jokers, which can be used to match any number. Devil's Isle introduces the possibility of a Devil in the slots or on the board that can cut you point total from 10-50%. The levels in Quest Mode are split amongst several islands in the game that each have their own theme and bring a new element to the gameplay. The various goals and objectives add a new dimension of play to Slingo. Other possibilities include stamps, which are achievements for things such as completing levels quickly. One such hidden objective is a key placed on every level, which need to be found and collected to unlock bonus levels. In addition to what's required to complete the level, there are bonus and hidden objectives. Other levels have you tackle cards that are larger than normal (such as a 7x7 card instead of a 5x5 card), or multiple cards at once. For example, one level pits you against a pirate as you compete to get the highest score in a game of Slingo. Each level provides a different pattern for you to complete, or another goal to accomplish. Unlike some earlier versions of Slingo, Slingo Quest offers a large variety of levels in the Quest Mode. You'll have only twenty turns to complete the pattern, fill as much of your card as possible, and max out your score. Your goal in Slingo Quest is to match all of the numbers in a given pattern. ![]() For example, the number 5 in the first column could only be matched when the number 5 appears in the first column of the slots. Numbers in a card can only be matched with numbers in the same column from the slot. Each column on the card corresponds to the column of the slot below it. ![]() You start your game of Slingo with a five-by-five card and a row of five slots beneath that. Slingo Quest is a relaxing and fun game you won't want to put down. Two modes of play give you the option of experiencing new powerups and challenges or traditional Slingo. However, there are a few other things thrown in to add a bit of strategy, such as jokers that can match to any number. It's a fairly simple game that has you matching numbers on a five-by-five card with five random numbers from spinning a row of slots below the card. Slingo Quest is a unique mix of Bingo and Slots. ![]() |
