A needle exchange program that be-gan last month in Springdale hasprompted a letter of protest from localofficials who are concerned about theimpactoncrime,aswell aszoningof themobile unit.

The letter, sent by email toGov. JohnKasich and Hamilton County Commis-sioners Greg Hartmann, Chris MonzelandToddPortune, opposes the distribu-tion of clean needles to addicts and ex-presses concerns about the lack of zon-ing requirements for the mobile pro-gram.

Sharonville Mayor Kevin Hardmanwas among the elected officials whosigned the letter.

“The Sharonville Board of Healthwas approached about bringing thisprogram to Sharonville,” Hardmansaid. “Simplyput, it is thepositionofourBoard of Health and our city police de-partment that the safety risks to ourcommunity outweigh the pubic healthbenefits being advocated.

“It is not wise for a community toprovide the tools forpeople toengage inunhealthy, risky and criminal behav-ior,” he said. “We have no desire to rollout the welcomemat for abusers at thedetriment to the law-abiding residentsand businesses of our community.”

The Cincinnati Exchange Program,which rolled into Springdale Feb. 10,had distributed about 50 needles as ofMarch 5, according to SpringdaleHealth Commissioner Cammie Mi-

Wyoming CitySchools will hold a fo-rum to discuss thechanging dynamics ofthe classroom.

Titled “21st CenturyLearning in Wyomingand Beyond: A Discus-sion on the CommonCore,” the forum will in-clude presentations byUniversity of CincinnatiPresident Santa Ono,former Procter andGamble executive Rob-ert Wehling, WyomingSuperintendent SusanLang and teacher PattiClark, who serves aspresident of the Wyo-ming Education Associ-ation.

The free event at thePendery Center, 106Pendery Ave., begins at7 p.m .March 19, and isopen to the public.

Panelists will discusswhat itmeans to educatea student from kinder-garten through highschool, with a focus onlearning standards bothlocally and nationally,and the critical skillsand habits studentsneed as they enter thework force.

Discussion will focuson the Common Core, aset of standards for lan-guagearts andmathcur-riculum based on bestpractices of schools and

organizations across theUnited States.

“Common Core is theability to have commonexpectations in reading,language arts and mathacross our country,”Lang explained aboutthe standards beingcrafted across the coun-try.

“When we’re compar-ing how students did inlanguage arts and read-ing in fourth grade inOhio and Nebraska,there is a common ele-ment,” she said. “In thepast, there hasn’t been acommon element; all ofthe states had differentstandards and expecta-tions.

“There was no frame-

work, so the commoncore unites our countryfor benchmarks in read-ing and math.”

How does that relateto the demands of 21st

Century learning?In business, educa-

tion and any environ-ment, it’s not a sit-and-get, where you sit in lec-ture and take notes,”Lang said. “We probestudents on questions.How are we pushing stu-dents to bemore criticalthinkers?

“That’s a 21st Centuryskill.

“We have to move onto the work force, andassessments should notmirror a regurgitationof information,” shesaid. “It should be prob-lem solving, and ques-tions should be high-lev-el.

“Teachers will writeassessments to reflectthat.”

Creativity and engag-ing students in authen-tic experiences are im-portant to 21st Centurylearning, as well.

“When we’re teach-ing history and science,for example, we relate itto something studentscan transpose to under-stand why they’re learn-ing it,” Lang said. “Webelieve that problem-based learning is impor-tant for students.”

Park City CouncilmanCharles Tassell, the let-ter was signed by 17elected and appointed of-ficials from 10 munici-palities, including Shar-onville, Reading, Silver-ton, Mariemont, Ander-son Township, SycamoreTownship, Evendale,Cheviot and ColerainTownship.

“Please consider thatwe, the undersigned, op-pose the free needles foraddicts in our communi-ties and desire a legalmeans to address con-cerns of zoning, partici-pation and distribution,”the letter read.

“If you have one ofthese facilities, it’s draw-ing those kind of folks,

the addicts, in, and youare going to increase thelikelihood of criminals,thefts and blight,” Tas-sell said. “That’s what isgoing to happen aroundthose facilities.

“We don’t have a solu-tion yet, but there needsto be anongoingbattle onthis,” he said. “We’ve gotto step up and be strongaround it.”

Springdale Police

Chief Michael Mathissaid police have had nocalls related to the mo-bile unit.

“The program is stillrelatively new,” Mathissaid, “however, we havehad no calls for servicethat I am aware of.”

Hamilton CountyBoard of CommissionersPresident Chris Monzelsaid he’s concernedabout the program and ispersonally against it.

“I don’t know that it’sproven to be effective, itallows for unlawful be-havior and brings poten-tial blight,” Monzel said.“This issue strikes at thecore of our community.”

Mitrione commendedthe letter’s authors for“timely concern aboutthe opiate epidemic inOhio.”

Whenyou haveenjoyedgrowingup inWyo-ming, a30-yearmarriageand agreat sonwho hasgivenyou two

wonderful grandchil-dren, you sigh and say“Thank you, Lord.”

That’s howMarciaButler feels about herlife.

She was born to Eu-gene and Gabriella Till-man, who moved herefrom South Carolina andblended right in with thecozyWyoming life style.Marcia graduated fromWyoming High School in1971. A favorite memoryis walking to VermontElementary with herfriends, giggling andtalking on the way.

Marica is a life-longmember of Bethel AMEChurch onMulberryStreet in Lockland. Thismade it convenient towalk to church. She singsin the church choir andwas the superintendentof Sunday School and theyouth director for manyyears. Those positionsentailed a great deal oftime planning and exe-cuting such projects asjoining with the mis-sionary and outreachorganizations to carol forthe sick and shut in, feed-ing the hungry and“Souper” Bowl Sunday,wherein a soup pot ispositioned at each churchentrance and peopledropped in money.

The children thendonate to the charity oftheir choice.

Marcia loves workingwith children. She is alsoa firm believer in the“old school” ways. Heradvice: “It takes patience

to deal with children. Iwas reared to respect myelders, mind myman-ners, had chores at home,no back talk, and all theother rules that we of acertain age rememberand know it was the rightway. We went to school tolearn, and we did. If it’snot broke, don’t try to fixit! And, parents need toknow how to love enoughto let go.”

Marcia has worked incustomer service sinceshe was 17, and has theperfect charm for inter-acting with the public.She first worked at aKresge store. Marcia wasthe receptionist at WXIXradio as well as at BlueCross Blue Shield for 20years. She has alsoworked for a non-profitconcern and the HousingAuthority.

Yard sales are like anadventure for Marcia,but working in her yardand getting her handsdirty is a real pleasure,too. She stays outside forhours. Her mother wasan avid gardener, andthis seems to haverubbed off on Marcia.She finds irises relaxingand they are her favoriteflower. However, shesaid that last summer heryard did not reflect thecare she usually gives it.Moles have left theground looking like amine field exploded andshe is sick of the littledevils.

Marcia loves to traveland has been to the Car-ibbean, Gatlinburg, NewYork, North Carolina andAtlanta. She rememberswhen The Atlanta Un-derground was a happen-ing place with museums,craftsmen, nightclubs,live bands that playedeverything from bluegrass to progressiveJazz, art, good restau-rants, one-of-a-kindjewelry and made-to-order clothing. A friend

told her that is no longerthe case andMarcia feelsit is a tragedy. However,seeing her son, Jarrette,and his family, who livein Nashville, four or fivetimes a year makes upfor the disappointment.

Sharonville residentswho are registered sex of-fenders may soon bebannedfrommembershipto the city’s recreation fa-cilities.

City Council is consid-ering adopting a codifiedordinance that would alsorescind membership ofthose already issued.

Law Director TomKeating said the ordi-nance is directed at Shar-onville residents who arerequiredtoregisterassexoffenders with the OhioAttorneyGeneral’soffice.Membership is grantedonly to residents of thecity.

According to the OhioAttorney General’s web-site, two Sharonville resi-dents are registered assex offenders.

The ordinance also ad-dresses the protection of

children.“TheCouncilhasdeter-

mined that there is astrong public purpose toprotect schools, parks,playgrounds, youth cen-ters and other places pri-marily utilized by peopleunder the age of 19 fromOhio registered sex of-fenders,”Ordinance 2014-13 reads. “TheCouncil hasdetermined that the Shar-onville recreation facili-ties, as accessed bymem-bership passes should in-clude a safe, clean envi-ronment protected fromconvicted sex offenderswho potentially lack theability to control their be-havior.”

The ordinance alsospecifies that violationwould be considered afourth-degree misde-meanor, punishable by upto 30 days in jail.

How would the recrea-tion department staffknow whether a member

or applicant is a sex of-fender?

Safety Service Direc-tor Jim Lukas said theCommunity Center wouldhave access to recordsthrough a link to the OhioAttorneyGeneral’soffice.

In addition, the mem-bership form will askwhether the applicant is aregistered sex offender.

“It will say, ‘if you are,you can’t be a member,’”Keating said.

“But we do not have aproblem in Sharonville,”Keating said, “so we’renot trying to solve a prob-lem.

“We’re trying to getahead of it and make sureit won’t become a prob-lem.”

City Council will voteon the ordinance at itsApril 8 meeting, after asecond reading at theMarch 25 meeting.

COLUMBUS — Behold, theides of March.

A day that ended badly forJulius Caesar some 2,050 yearsearlier will be long remem-bered by the Princeton HighSchool community as one of tri-umph.

The Vikings beat North Can-ton Hoover 61-55 March 15 toclaim the 2014 Ohio Division Igirls statebasketball champion-ship.

Senior Kelsey Mitchellthrew more daggers at Hooverthan theRomanSenate, cappingherhighschoolcareerwitha30-point, three-assist, three-steal,one-block night to earn mostoutstanding player honors forthe tournament.

“They knew we could do it,we knew we could do it, and wedid it,” Mitchell said. “We weresodetermined this year togrindand knowwhatwehad to do andget it done. I don’t think (therewas ever a doubt).

“Imeans a lot. Forme to do itas a senior, it’s big because it’smy last year, so why not dosomething big?”

IfMitchellwasBrutus -apro-pos for the future Ohio StateBuckeye playing on the Schot-tenstein Center floor that willwill be her home the next fouryears - senior Carlie Pogue wasMarcus Aurelius, coming not topraise Hoover, but to bury itwith17 points and a state-finals-record 14 rebounds to go alongwith four blocked shots andthree assists.

“It’s the best feeling in theworld,” Pogue said. “I don’tknow, it was just happiness(when the final buzzer sound-ed). I feel accomplished. I justwanted to win and to do it withthese girls is the greatest.”

Senior Chelsea Mitchell -who will join her sister at OSU

next season - said she wasn’t asnervous as usual heading intothe championship game.

“It was finally our turn,” shesaid. “It’s a great feeling. It’ssomething togetused to.Maybenow with this, I’ll be ready formy first college game here. Iwon’t be surprised. It’s cool.”

The day is now doubly spe-cial for Princeton head coachJill Phillips. Her high schoolteam won the Tennessee statechampionship March 15, 1986.

“I looked at it last SaturdaywhenweplayedLakotaWest (inthe regional final) and thoughtthe days might be close,” shesaid. “I got home and pulled outmy scrapbook. I saw it was the15th and thought it might be alittle bit of karma.

“The only difference wasthat team was 39-0,” Phillipssaidwith a conspiratorial smile.

HerVikings finished the sea-son 28-2, earning the program’ssecond-everstate title.Thefirstwas in 1987.

“It’s special because we lostin the the regional finals threeyears in a row,” Phillips said.“The way they came togetherthe last three weeks in the tour-nament, that’s been amazing.

“It’s your goal and it’s yourdream as a coach to win a statetitle and now we’ve done it. It’sgreat. It’s great for those eightseniors who have been togetherso long and through somuch to-gether.”

Princeton athletic directorGary Croley said the reverber-ations of the title will echo wellpast the basketball court.

“This is huge,” he said. “Thisis the shot of adrenaline Prince-ton High School and the Prince-ton district needed. They’remore than just a team; they’re afamily. We’ve got a lot of newthings coming - new facilitiesand opening next school year -and this can kick-start thewhole thing, knowing that kids

from our district can competeat the highest level.”

STATE SEMIFINALSCOLUMBUS— The Vikings reached

the championship game with a 60-52win over Toledo Notre Dame AcademyMarch 14.Senior Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers

with 23 points, while classmate CarliePogue added 18 to go along with agame-best 11 rebounds and threeblocked shots.Princeton watched some of the low-

er-division teams play their semifinalgames prior to taking the floor them-selves.“They’d be going down the floor and

making 10, 11, 12 passes and Kelsey wasup there yelling at them to shoot,” saidJill Phillips, Princeton head coach. “Shewants to get the ball to the basket.”Which she did effectively, shooting

7-for-13 from the floor, including a3-for-6 night from three-point range.Phillips credited Pogue and variety of

others - including 5-foot-6 Jada Ballew,who spent part of the game defendingagainst 6-foot-2 all-tournament per-former Tierra Floyd - for the work theydid inside against a larger, physicalEagles team.“I thought my post players did a

tremendous job tonight,” Phillips said.“For us to out-rebound a team (36-25)like that says we did a great job mixingthings up on them and showing themdifferent looks. Carlie stayed out of foultrouble, Jada used her quickness. Cor-neisha (Henderson) and Chelsea (Mitch-ell) did a great job boxing out andgetting to the basketball.”NDA owned its largest lead at 33-30

with 52 seconds left in the first halfbefore Kelsey Mitchell hit a three to tiethe game at the break.The Eagles scored first after intermis-

sion, but Henderson hit a three-pointgoal and Chelsea Mitchell scored on arunner in the lane to spark an 8-0 runthat gave Princeton a 41-35 lead itnever relinquished.“We kept saying we have the lead

and the ball, make them come to us,”Phillips said. “But I have some kids whowant to give me gray hairs, because wekept shooting. But that’s who we are.We like to score.”

EVANSTON — MoellerHigh School’s aspirationsto play at the Schotten-stein Center were endedseveral miles down theroad at Xavier’s CintasCenter on March 14 byTrotwoodMadison.

Trailing 44-30 going tothe third quarter, theRams put on a furiousfull-court fourth and out-scoredMoeller 32-17.

Forward DazhontaeBennett hit a pair of treysunder the two-minutemark to tie the game. Inthe final minute, Moellerwent up, Trotwood tied,thenTre’Hawkinsmadeapair of free throws to putthe Crusaders up 61-59with :21 to go.

Trotwood Madisonthen worked the ballaround and got a last shoton a tap-out. Ironically, itwas a guard named ChrisMack at Xavier who wonit for theRamswith a top-of-the-key three-pointerwith 2.3 seconds left.

Moeller had two in-bound plays from there,but the game ended withGrant Benzinger’s half-court three-ball missinggiving the Rams had the62-61 win and a regional

championship.“Give them great

credit, they made theplays they had to make,”Moeller coach CarlKremer said. “I thoughtwe controlled the entiregame, but we didn’t get itclosed.”

Even at the two-min-ute mark, the Crusadershad a six-point lead and adecisive rebounding ad-vantage. The final totalsshowMoellerwinningthebattle of the boards 45-29,but turning theball overacostly 22 times.

Trotwood Madison’sBennett led with 22points, with his two keythree-balls to tie comingin the final 120 seconds.Mack attempted just twoshots from the arc andmade the one that count-ed.

“Late in thegame theirpress got a few turnoversand they hit a fewthrees,” Kremer said.“Even the last play, wedidn’t let Bennett get atouch. There was a de-flectedball that rolledoutto a guy and he makes ashot. The basketball godsare cruel.”

Fouls were nearlyeven with Moeller com-mitting 23 to Trotwood’s22, but the fast and fran-

tic action down thestretch took an emotionaltoll on the Crusaders andtheir fans.

“I think overall for thegreat part of the game,

the officiating was verygood,” Kremer said. “Iwant to say it’s human na-ture to officiate the run. Ithink they got some criti-cal calls in the runbackat

us.”Leading Moeller was

senior JackAntonwith 21points and 14 rebounds.Fellow senior Tre’ Haw-kins had 13 points and ju-nior Nate Fowler had 12points and led all re-bounders with 15.

Blanketedagainbytheopposition’s best defen-sive player, senior GrantBenzinger finished withnine points and four re-bounds. Senior Adam Gi-gax, Benzinger and Fow-ler all collected four foulson the difficult evening.

“I have no answers forthem,” Kremer said.“We’re going to missthose kids and whatthey’re about and howthey represent ourschool. That’s as crusheda locker roomas I’ve everbeen around.”

Moeller finishes theseason 24-2.

The lossmarked the fi-nal games for seniorsHawkins, Anton, Benzin-ger, Gigax, Gus Ragland,Logan Malone, AustinMorrow and Trey Stacey.Returning from this sea-son’s roster will be ju-niors Fowler, Noah Able,Chris Bucher, KurtisHoffman, Kevin Kerley,BradMunzandGrantPit-man.

WYOMING — To get toAlbuquerque, N.M., fromWilliam & Mary, you gofrom Williamsburg, Va.,to Washington, D.C. Ifyou’re lucky, you can thencatch a direct flight to thecity split by the RioGrande.

In the case of formerWyoming High Schooldistance runner EmilyStites, youmust also qual-ify for the NCAA IndoorTrack and Field Champi-onships.

No longer a Cowboy,the sophomoremarketingmajor now runs for theTribeandqualified for theNCAAmeet at the BostonUniversity Last ChanceMeet March 2 with seniorteammate Elaina Balou-ris.

Needing to run under16:01 in the 5,000 meters,Stites ran15:43.69 andBa-louris15:46.92. Both timeswere better than theirprevious outdoor bests.The pair became the firstever William & Marywomen under 16 minutesindoorsandare thefirst torepresent the school atthe NCAA Indoor Cham-pionships in five years.

“We focus more oncross country outdoors,but we decided to qualifyfor indoors and ran reallygreat times thatgotus in,”Stites said.

Having never been toAlbuquerque, Stites washoping tohaveaday to ex-plore. Running-wise, shewas planning on having toadapt to an altitudechange.

Outdoors, Stites is alsoa long distance specialistat5,000and10,000meters.In cross country, she wasthe Colonial Athletic As-sociation runner-up and46th in theNCAAOutdoorChampionships helpingher to Southeast RegionAthlete of the Year hon-ors.

“The team did welloverall,” Stites said. “Wewere 12th in the countryso that’s a huge jump forus.All of thegirlsdid real-ly well. It was exciting.”

After the indoor gath-ering in New Mexico,Stites andBalouriswill beback in Virginia bundlingup for theWilliam&MaryTribe Invitational March21-22.

She’ll also be keepingtabs on her youngerbrother,Ben, atWyoming.Now a junior, Ben Stitesalso is a standout distancerunner.

Last fall, he was theCincinnati Hills Leagueand district champion incross country. Hewent on

to finish fifth at the re-gional meet and was sixthin the state to be namedDivision II-III Runner ofthe Year. Coach TravisGlendenning’s Cowboysfinished four overall atthe state meet.

“We talk all of thetime,” Stites said. “Hehada really amazing crosscountry season. I’m reallyhappy for him.”

Emily Stites believesher brother can competein college, just as she hassucceeded in becoming a

two-time All-American.Her next goal is to returnto the outdoor champion-ships in the spring in ei-ther the 5,000 or 10,000meters.

Away from running,Stites is racking up hon-

ors for her gradepoint av-erage. She recently wasnamed the CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year forcross country and hasbeen All-Academic incross country and track.Along with her running

hardware, she received aProvost’s Award for hav-ing a GPA over 3.5 lastseason.

“I think academically,it’s pretty challenging,but I’m really happy to behere,” Stites said.

A publication of

Hamilton County AuditorDusty Rhodes’ thought-pro-voking Feb 16 CincinnatiEnquirer column “HamiltonCounty is on the Road toRuin” highlights valid fiscalconcerns that warrant fur-ther comment.

Dusty chronicles the un-abated growth of propertytaxes as the vehicle for sub-sidizing an array of publicservices and investmentalong with the burden placedon residents and ratepayersfrom mandated projects suchas capital improvements tothe Municipal Sewer Districtas well as restoration of icon-ic buildings like Union Termi-nal and replacement of theBrent Spence Bridge

I don’t agree with Dusty’sdire assessment that ourfuture mirrors Detroit, how-ever, I do agree that rising

MetropolitanSewer Dis-trict (MSD)rates presentgrowing fi-nancial chal-lenges toHamiltonCounty prop-erty ownerswhile alsothreateningbusinesses

and the jobs they provide forour communities. This is amonumental issue that de-serves more discussion in ourcommunity.

My fellow Commissionersand I have made strongerHamilton County oversight ofMSD operations and spend-ing a top priority since begin-ning my term as a countycommissioner in 2010. Ascommission president, I

pushed for the hiring of acounty utility supervisor tomonitor the impact of MSD’sday-to-day operations andspending on costs and rates.

The county oversight teamis heavily involved in over-seeing all phases of workassociated with HamiltonCounty and the city of Cincin-nati’s Consent Decree withthe U.S. and Ohio Environ-mental Protection Agencies.This decree mandates a mas-sive upgrade of the county’ssewer system.

The oversight team’s in-volvement was instrumentalin cutting MSD’s proposed$230 million operating bud-get to $210 million, along withreducing a $290 million pro-posed capital budget to $211million for 2014. This thor-ough vetting saved $98 mil-lion for MSD ratepayers.

Auditor Rhodes pointedout that MSD rates have risenat a rate of nearly 11 percentper year since 2000. MSDratepayers should know, how-ever, that the average yearlyMSD rate increase for thepast three years has droppedto about 6.5 percent – notgreat, but much lower sincethe county began aggressive-ly monitoring MSD spending.

We are starting to makeprogress toward the goal ofreducing MSD spendingwhile still meeting the man-dates of the Consent Decree.I have worked diligently tohave Cincinnati City Councilrepeal its responsible bidder,local hire and local prefer-ence ordinances.

Construction industryexperts believe that over thelong term, these ordinancescould add 15 percent to the

cost of completing the con-struction associated with theConsent Decree. On a pro-jected $3 billion cost to finishHamilton County’s sewersystem, 15 percent repre-sents an unnecessary $450million bill for ratepayers.

That is why I am willing totake this dispute to court todetermine whether HamiltonCounty or the City of Cincin-nati sets the procurementpolicies for MSD.

The system’s ratepayersneed to know that the Hamil-ton County Commission isready to protect their hard-earned paychecks and pro-vide a competitive environ-ment to retain and attractbusiness in the coming years.

Chris Monzel is president of theHamilton County Commission.

Rising sewer rates present financial challenges

March 12 questionDo you agree with the

tactics recently used byGreenpeace activists atProcter & Gamble Co. head-quarters in Downtown Cin-cinnati? Why or why not?

“I do not agree with de-struction of propertywith-out provocation. TheGreenpeace organizationsometimes goes too far inits support of the environ-mental and animal rights'causes.

“Breaking windows ordestroying property forthe sake of a protest justbrings attention by themedia to the lawbreakersinstead of the issue. Thiswas a mistake by the pro-testers and allows them tobe lumped in with hippies,draft-dodgers, and othercounter-cultural groupswhomost Americans don'tunderstand.”

T.J.P.

“Absolutely I agreewith Greenpeace activistshanging banners at Proc-ter & Gamble headquar-ters! Somebodyhas to stepforward tomake theworldawareofrainforestanden-dangered animal destruc-tion, and they have thecourage and funds to do sowhen others do not.

“What are we doing toour earth?Frackingamas-sive amount of acres, andno place to store the mil-lions of gallons of danger-ous chemicals used.Moun-tain tops disappearing inWest Virginia, all to feedexcessive energy de-mands. Coal sludge andchemicals being dumpedin ourwaterways, shutting

down entire communities'fresh water supplies.

“And yes, rainforestsworldwidedisappearingatan alarming rate. Every-oneshouldmakeaconcert-ed effort to use less ener-gy, as every light turnedoff and furnace turneddown makes a difference.We have all seemed to for-get that.”

J.B.

“Not at all. Our countryprovides for protectedfree speech inmany ways.The activists chose to ig-nore those protected op-tions and commit a pre-meditated crime to conveytheir message.

“The rights of ProcterandGamble should be pro-tected the sameas any oth-er citizen. If yourneighbordoesn’t like your barkingdog, should he be able tobreak into your house andfly a banner from yourroof?”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONOhio legislators are con-sidering giving schoolsmore disrection to dealwith incidents such asstudents pointing theirfingers as imaginary guns,in effect changing thecurrent “zero tolerance”policy. Is this a good idea?Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viae-mail. Send your answers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

If you are an Ohio birth parentwho relinquished a child to adop-tion from1964 to 1996, then youneed to be aware that you may bein for the most wonderful, fright-ening, joyous, and surreal time ofyour life—meeting your child forthe second (or even first) time!

Last December Gov. Kasichsigned into law substitute SB 23that gives adopted adults bornbetween 1964 and 1996 access totheir original birth certificates.The intent of the law is to enddiscrimination and confer thesame civil rights to Ohio adopt-ees as to any other citizen, name-ly access to personal informationabout themselves. The law takeseffect on March 20, 2015.

For adoptees, having access totheir original birth certificateswill make the search for answersto deeply personal questionsmuch easier. Many adoptedadults yearn to meet the peoplewho gave them life and under-stand “Chapter 1” of their lives.“How did I come to be in thisworld? Who do I look like? Wheredo my innate talents come from?”These are questions only original

families cananswer.

In deferenceto birth parents,a provision ofthe new law isto give them oneyear to submitContact Prefer-ence forms tolet their adultchildren know ifand how they

prefer to be contacted. Fromresearch done in other states thatopened sealed adoption records,very few birth parents ever saythey want no contact. The formswill be available on the Ohio De-partment of Health website onMarch 20, 2014.

For some birth parents theprospect of reunion with theirlost children may seem daunting,even frightening. I know this istrue because I was one of thosewomen who kept it secret fromall but a few for 29 years.

Opening the door to the pastand confronting my long buriedfeelings of shame and grief weredifficult at first, but so very lib-

erating once the truth was told.With my family’s blessing andsupport, I made it easy for myadopted daughter to find us if shewas looking.

Using Internet resources, shefound me 17 years ago and todayour families fully embrace oneanother. We get together oftenfor birthdays and holidays and“just because.” As a young girlgrieving for her lost baby, I nev-er dreamed this would be pos-sible.

In our community support forbirth parents like me is availablethrough Ohio Birthparent Group-—Cincinnati. The group’s pur-pose is to provide a safe spacefor birth parents of all genera-tions to share their stories andget support and guidance fromother birth parents that under-stand this life-long journey.

The group meets the thirdSaturday of every month from10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at theBlue Ash Public Library. Formore information, contactwww.ohiobirthparents.org.

A plan has been presented inBoone County to arm staff mem-bers at schools with guns – toprotect them.

Let me see if I got this right.After the horrors of Sandy HookElementary, Columbine and doz-ens of others, Boone Countyplans to solve this problem with-…more guns, this time perma-nently within reach of children –or adults who are not law en-forcement? Well, there are thou-sands of reasons why this ideaborders on insanity, but for thefiscally conservative, here are afew;

1, Who is going to pay for this?The United States already lagsbehind most of the developedworld in education. Are we tospend a part of the rapidly dimin-ishing budget pie to arms andtrain people in the schools? Ipersonally would have a problemvoting for any increase in, or newlevy of, taxes, to pay for anythingbut education in our schools.

2, Local law enforcementseemed to back the idea. This istruly sad, because it is a slippery

slope. We al-ready pay taxesso that the po-lice can protectus, and our fam-ilies in our dailylives. Acceptingthis plan meansthat the policeare subtly say-ing, “we can’t doit, we give up.

You do it. We’ll still take yourmoney, but we’re can’t do whatwe are here to do, so we’ll handover some of our responsibilitiesto you.” It is also a way of keep-ing the tax money for publicsafety and doing less with thesame. The solution isn’t fobbingoff the problem to the schools.The solution is to demand thatthe police perform the job it ispaid to do, and to fund them gen-erously to do so.

3, CNBC’s ranking of “TopStates 2013” measured all 50sates on 51measures of compet-itiveness with input from busi-ness groups including the Nation-al Association of Manufacturers

and The Council on Competitive-ness. Kentucky, I am sad to say,ranked 36th out of 50. In the Edu-cation metric, the state ranked43rd. Kentucky, as a state and astaxpayers, you must question thewisdom of not demanding thatthe police protect your schools asthey are paid to do and addingthe expense of arming and train-ing staff members to carry guns,instead of demanding funds toimprove your educational sys-tem.

Above all else, the idea thatyou need to arm and train staffmembers to carry guns is a bigand pointless distraction fromthe real problems Kentuckyfaces. You don’t yet have a prob-lem protecting your childrenunless you relieve the policefrom that responsibility. Thenyou have problems. Who is pay-ing for this? And why would younot spend that money to improveyour schools?

MARCH 19, 2014 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3LIFE

As I write this column,I can see the field beyondour vegetable gardensowed with winter rye.After it sprouted, it

stayednestledunder ablanket ofsnow untilrecently.It lookslike a palegreencarpet.Seeingnewgrowth at

this time of year justgives me a bright outlookon my day. My cooking isstarting to reflect thechange of season, too. I’mthinking way ahead withlighter fare and fun sidesand desserts to share forspring.

AmbrosiaI can remember exact-

ly when I first tasted thisheavenly side dish thatgoes so well with Easterham. We were newlymarried and took a week-end trip to Gatlinburg.One of the restaurantsfeatured ambrosia. I hadno idea what it was but itsounded so intriguingthat I ordered it. Thewaiter explained that itwas a Southern side dishmade with fruit andcream. I was too shy toask any more about it,and when it arrived atour table I thought hebrought me somebodyelse’s dessert. Since thenI’ve made it many times.My current favorite isthis recipe that I adaptedfrom Alton Brown.

3⁄4 cup whipping cream1generous tablespoonsugar

1⁄2 cup sour cream or bitmore to taste

3 cups mini marshmallows1 cup tangerine segments,cut into halves

1 cup pineapple tidbits,drained

1 cup coconut1 cup pecans, toasted andchopped coarsely

3⁄4 to 1 cup drainedmaraschino cherry halves

Whip cream and sugaruntil soft peaks form.Blend in sour cream andthen stir in everythingelse. Chill in refrigerator

a couple hours beforeserving.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can subMandarinorange segments,drained, for the freshtangerines.

Donna Goulet’s 7-Upcake

I’ve had this recipe inmy file since last sum-mer fromDonna and waswaiting for the right timeto share it. Donna hashad this recipe for a longtime – she cut it out ofthe newspaper. Donnasaid: “It is delicious. A

West-sider all my lifeuntil recently we movedto Erlanger, Ky. Reallyenjoy your column andlook forward to it everyweek.” Well, Donna, Ienjoy sharing reader’srecipes and this one wasa big hit. So nice forspringtime entertaining.It stayed moist, covered,at room temperature forseveral days. The onlything I did different isthat I made a simpleglaze instead of makingthe frosting that Donnasuggests. If you makeher frosting, I wouldstore the cake in the frig.

1box (two-layer size) yellowcakemix

1box (four-serving size)instant vanilla orpineapple puddingmix

3⁄4 cup cooking oil4 eggs1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract(optional)

10 ounces 7-Up

two nine-inch layer cakepans. Bake in a pre-heat-ed 350-degree oven 40 to45 minutes, or until test-er inserted in centercomes out clean. Prepare7-Up cake frosting andpour cooked mixtureover the warm cake.

It’s a problem that’splagued the Tristate foryears – sewers backingup into area homes. Sev-eral years ago a federalcourt ordered the Cincin-nati Metropolitan SewerDistrict to pay to cleanup sewer back-up dam-age, but that hasn’tsolved the problem ev-erywhere.

Sewer back-ups canoccur just about every-where and they can notonly damage your base-ment, but your belong-ings as well. Unless youprotect yourself, youcould be stuck with hugeclean-up bills. That’swhat happened to KarlaKramer after a sewerback-up at her Alexan-dria home late last year.

“We came home to aweird smell and went

downstairsand no-ticed somepuddles,”Kramersaid. That’swhen Kra-mer andher hus-band, Dan-iel, found-ed their

basement was floodedwith several inches ofsewer water.

“The water was actu-ally gushing up throughthe sewer,” she said. Aplumber was soon able todetermine their sewerline to the street wasclear; it was the san-itation district’s main linethat was clogged up.“There were deep treeroots that had grownthrough the lines,” Kra-

mer said.In addition to replac-

ing the tile on the base-ment floor, as well as thecarpet, the Kramers hadto replace drywall be-cause everything wasdamaged by that sewerwater. Northern Ken-tucky Sanitation DistrictNo. 1, known as SD-1,came out and fixed thesewer line but won’t payfor the Kramers’ dam-age.

“They came out andsaid, ‘Yes, it was definite-ly their fault,’ but sincethey didn’t actually know(the blockage) was therethey were not at fault,”Kramer said. Fortunate-ly, the Kramers havesewer back-up insuranceas part of their home-owner’s coverage. Butthey only had $5,000

coverage and the damageto their home and belong-ings exceeded $12,000.

SD-1Director DaveRager said that whilesuch back-up s are un-fortunate, they do hap-pen. “It is not uncommonthat it happens in oursystem. We try to keepup with the system butthey do happen. That’spart of the reason why somany utilities are ownedby the government, thechallenge of maintainingsystems like this,” Ragersaid.

Rager said the sewerdistrict will be checkingthe lines in Kramers’neighborhood every six

months to make surethey remain clear. Unlikethe Cincinnati Metropol-itan Sewer District,SD-1’s federal court de-cree doesn’t require it topay for undetected sewerline problems. “We have700 miles of lines. That’salmost enough to go fromcoast to coast,” Ragersaid.

The Kramers havenow increased their sew-er back-up insurance andthis is something allhomeowners should con-sider – especially thosewith a finished basement.In addition, those whorent homes should checktheir renter’s insurance

policy.A Forest Park man

said although he hasrenter’s insurance, hispolicy didn’t cover therecent sewer back-updamage to his belong-ings. So, because manyrenters’ policies don’tautomatically includesewer back-up coverage,you need to ask for thisprotection.

The Southwest OhioAir Quality Agency hasresumed monitoring andreporting pollen andmoldcounts in preparation forallergy season.

The severity of allergysymptoms depends on theamount of pollen in the airandthedegreeofsensitiv-ity of the person. To re-duce exposure to pollenand mold, the SouthwestOhio Air Quality Agencyrecommends:

»Minimize outdoor ac-tivity between 5 a.m. and10 a.m. – when pollen lev-els are highest.

» Contact an allergistor doctor for medical ad-vice.

» Track pollen andmold counts. The higherthe pollen and mold countis, the greater the likeli-hood that particles willmake their way into thenasal passages and lungsand induce allergic symp-toms.

When the weatherwarms up in the spring,additional precautions al-lergy sufferers can take

include:» Avoid areas with

freshly cut grass andavoid lawncareactivities.

» Afterbeingoutdoors,it is best to shower andchange clothing, as pollencan adhere to clothing,skin and hair. Be awarethat pets can also bringpollen into your home.

»Keepwindowsclosedand use an air conditionerin the home and car asmuch as possible to re-duce the amount of aller-gens entering.

»Don't hang sheets orclothing outside to dry.Pollens can collect onthem.

Pollen andmold countsare available at 513-946-7753 orSouthwestOhioAir.org.The hotline and websiteare updated each week-day by 10 a.m. Additionalinformation can be foundin the Living with Aller-gies brochure, availablefor download at South-westOhioAir.org ormailed by request.
