After being debated sinceJanuary, Loveland City Coun-cil’s discussion on changing thestart time of its meetings cameto a contested close March 11.

The ordinance amends thecity ordinance that says councilmeetings start at 8 p.m. Theamended ordinance states“council shallmeet…at timesasCouncil shall determine.”

The ordinance passed with a4-3 vote, with Councilman RobWeisgerber, CouncilwomanPaulette Leeper and Council-man Ted Phelps voting againstit.

Mayor Linda Cox said a spe-cific start time was left out oftheordinancesofuturecouncilscould change it when needed.

Loveland City Schools andSycamore Community Schoolssays they are offering whatparents want, regardless ofstate mandates, in terms ofkindergarten education fortheir children.

Loveland SuperintendentChad Hilliker said Lovelandoffers only half-day kindergar-ten, adding the district has nothad a lot of parents asking forfull-day.

Sycamore has offered full-

day and half-day kindergartenfor about 15 years. AssistantDirector of Academic AffairsAnnMarie Reinke said parentswere asking for a full-day pro-gram and with competitionfrom private schools that of-fered full-day, Sycamore de-cided to create a program.

Three years ago, Gov. JohnKasich and the Ohio Legisla-ture repealed a mandate thatall Ohio schools offer full-daykindergarten – largely becausethe edict carried with it no realmoney for schools to expandtheir program.

Since then, some Ohioschools have moved toward afull-day kindergarten optionbecause of the third-gradereading guarantee.

Dana Darbyshire put allthree of her children in full-day kindergarten at SymmesElementary School becauseshe works full-time as a teach-er at Sycamore Junior HighSchool and would have had tofind childcare.

A large fire roaredthrough a home inSymmes Township

March 4, destroying most of it,but Chet Fuller and his familywere grateful that firefighterssaved their dog that was insidethe house.

Andrew Knapp, spokesmanfor the Loveland-Symmes FireDepartment, said a WarrenCounty resident spotted thesmoke from across the LittleMiami River and called 911 atabout 8:45 a.m.

Fuller said he and his wife,Veronica, had left at about 8:10a.m. and their son was atschool. Fuller said they got acall from a neighbor abouttheir house being on fire, buttheir main concern was aboutEssie, the family’s Great Pyre-nees.

Knapp said first responderssearched Rich and Fallis roadsbefore locating the smoke andfollowing it to the 10000 blockof Brentmoor Drive.

“First units on the scene re-ported a fully-involved housefire,” Knapp said. “We wentinto what we call a defensivestrategy.

“Wemade contact through aneighbor with the residents(homeowners) who had left;they indicated that no one wasat home … they did, however,report that there was a dog in-side the house,” Knapp said.

Fuller said none of the fire-fighters had seen the 155-pound dog that “looks like a po-lar bear.” He and Knapp toldGoshen Fire Chief Steve Pe-gram where the dog might behiding.

Goshen firefighters Bran-don Boyles and Kevin Lynchfound Essie hiding behind a

chair in the sun room andwereable to carry her out of thehouse.TheyhandedoffEssie toLoveland-Symmes firefighterTim Lackey in the driveway.

Essie was reunited with herowners just after 10 a.m.

“The roof of the residence iscompletely gone at this pointandwe have been applyingwa-ter on it for a better part of anhour,” Knapp said. “The dogwas cold, the dog was wet, shehas been smelling smoke for along time. It is quite incredibleshe was found alive.”

Fuller said Essie was taken

to the vet and appears to befine.

“She’s white and fluffyagain,” he said.

Fuller said the housewas al-most completely destroyedand hardly any of the furnitureis salvageable. He was told thefire started in or near the attic,burned through the roofingmaterial and caused it to col-lapse into the house.

The home, which has 11rooms, four bedrooms andthree and a half bathrooms, isvalued at more than $500,000andwasbuilt in1996,according

to the Hamilton County Audi-tor’s website.

Numerous emergencycrews responded to the blaze,including Loveland-Symmes,Miami Township, GoshenTownship,DeerfieldTownship,Mason, BlueAsh andHamiltonTownship fire departments.

“They did a super job. It is atough situation and it took a lotof firefighters,” Fuller said,addingEssie being savedmadethe terrible day have a happyending.

not support it being doneas an emergency.

“I am in favor of mov-ing the start time to anearlier hour and I wouldvote to change the ordi-nance to make it 7:30.Thisordinanceasdrafteddoesn’t provide a specificstart time. That is my ob-jection to it,” Phelps said.

Weisgerber said his is-suewas never against thetime change, but how theprocess was handled.

“The issue is how youdo business and followthe process. You cannothave a simple motion tooverrunanordinanceandyou can’t out of conve-nience make it an emer-gency. Therein lays the

issue,” Weisgerber said.The ordinance stayed

as an emergency for itssecond reading at themeeting. Because it didnot receive six votes, itwas adopted as a regularordinanceandwill go intoeffect in 30 days.

Three residents spokein favor of the timechange and one spokeagainst it.

Resident Rick Adamesaid he supported thetime change because itwould be easier for Love-land residents to attendthe meetings, which wasone of the reasons Grossmade the originalmotion.

Laura Carmack, whosupports thetimechange,said council has beenfoolish with how the timechange has been handled.

“Pointing fingers andtrying to make otherslook foolish is a ridicu-lous way to conduct citybusiness and does noth-ing to improve thequality

of life for the residents,which I believe is yourjob,” Carmack said.

Gross said councilmembers should haveconducted themselvesbetter after itwasdiscov-ered that the time couldnot be permanentlychanged by her motion.

“Wehad a great oppor-tunity to do somethingthat was very good, veryquick and instead wewent down some otherkind of crazy path. I hopethat we have learnedsome kind of lesson fromthis,” Gross said.

ViceMayorMarkFitz-gerald made a motion forthe March 25 meeting tostart at 7:30 p.m. Themo-tion passed 6-1withWeis-gerber voting against it.

day kindergarten wouldhave been a regres-sion,” she added.

Amy Allendorf, aparent of a kindergar-ten and a third-gradestudent in the LovelandSchools, said she likedthe half-day kindergar-ten because her chil-dren went to preschoolthree days a week.

“Half-day was exact-ly what they needed totransition into theschool curriculum,”Allendorf said.

Hilliker said theLoveland Schools al-ready had programs inplace to make sure thatstudents are on trackwhen they get to thethird-grade readingguarantee.

“We have beenwatching our numbersreally closely and wefell like we aren’t thatfar off the mark,” Hil-liker said.

Allendorf said herthird-grader is notstruggling or fallingbehind because she hadhalf-day kindergartenopposed to full-day.

Hilliker said he isfine with the district notoffering full-day be-cause it would not getthe schools anymorefunding, but under-stands that it is some-thing to consider.

“We felt pretty confi-dent that our studentsare successful in thefirst-grade, but with thethird grade readingguarantee it is some-thing we have con-tinued to consider,”Hilliker said.

LOVELAND — In winning theOhio Division II state footballchampionship, Loveland HighSchool did not have to makemuchuse of the strategy involv-ing the forward pass.

When your offense featuresthree 1,000-yard runners, youreally don’t air it out much.

However, though sophomoreDrew Plitt’s yards placed himsixth in the Eastern CincinnatiConference, he did have theleague’s best quarterback rat-ing. In his first season he threwfor nine touchdowns and justtwo interceptions despite aver-age just 92 passing yards pergame.

Loveland’s leader in recep-tions was 6-foot-5 Jake Elfers.The senior followed up an 11-catch junior year with 17 grabsin his final prep campaign forthree touchdowns.

In the postseason, he hauledin 10 more passes and a pair oftouchdowns. In the great white-out in Canton, Elfers snared afootball out of the air in the win-try endzone.

Armed with a 41-23 statechampionship, Loveland coachFredCranfordbeganmarketingplayers, like Elfers, via Twitterand other means.

“He does a great job promot-ing us,” Elfers said. “He obvi-ouslyhasrelationshipsout therewith everybody.”

At the same time, Vince Sur-iano, the University of Cincin-nati’sdirectorofhighschoolandplayer relations, had his eye onLoveland’s No. 18. The formerAnderson High School coach,after stints with Mount St. Jo-seph and Thomas More, nowspecializes in bringing in quali-ty walk-ons to the Bearcats.

Once coach Tommy Tuber-ville started spring practice, El-fers was invited to visit a work-outat theSheakleyAthleticCen-ter.Whenhe left, hehadanofferas a preferred walk-on.

“I belief coach (Fred) Cran-ford set us up initially,” Elferssaid. “I’d never made any con-tact with them.”

Elfers, whose father playedfootball at Summit CountryDayand Akron, also had interestfrom Georgetown (Kentucky),Malone and Findlay. All would

have offered a financial pack-age.

On the other hand, with for-merLovelandTiger JonVincenton the roster as a long snapper,getting a chance with the home-town Bearcats was appealing.

“I’ve watched them mywhole life,” Elfers said. “Youwatch them as a little kid andyou dream about playing forthem someday.”

The goal is to become Love-land’snextmostfamouswalk-on.

“The history of our highschool with walk-ons is signifi-cant,”Elders said. “SeanFlaher-ty at Boston College walked onand ended up being captain ofthe team his senior year.”

Tipping the scales at 225, itremains to be seen what Elferswill do at UC.

“I think they’re sticking withtight end as of now,” Elfers said.“There’sno tellingafter theygetme in the weight room. Whatthey like most about me is myframe.”

He also hopes to add to theBearcats’ team GPA as an elec-trical engineering major. As ag-gressive as many football play-ersare,mostdon’t takeonsuchademanding schedule.

“That’s something that inter-ests me, just like football,” El-fers said. “I initially applied atUCjustbecauseof theelectricalengineering program. Footballwas a bonus.”

EVANSTON — Moeller HighSchool’s aspirations to play atthe Schottenstein Center wereended several miles down theroad at Xavier’s Cintas CenteronMarch14 by TrotwoodMadi-son.

Trailing 44-30 going to thethird quarter, theRams put on afurious full-court fourth andoutscoredMoeller 32-17.

Forward Dazhontae Bennetthit a pair of treysunder the two-minute mark to tie the game. Inthe final minute, Moeller wentup, Trotwood tied, then Tre’Hawkins made a pair of freethrows to put the Crusaders up

61-59 with :21 to go.Trotwood Madison then

worked the ball around and gota last shot on a tap-out. Ironical-ly, it was a guard named ChrisMack at Xavier who won it forthe Rams with a top-of-the-keythree-pointer with 2.3 secondsleft.

Moeller had two inboundplays from there, but the gameended with Grant Benzinger’shalf-court three-ball missinggiving the Rams had the 62-61win and a regional champion-ship.

“Give them great credit,theymade the plays they had tomake,” Moeller coach CarlKremer said. “I thoughtwecon-trolled the entire game, but we

didn’t get it closed.”Even at the two-minute

mark, the Crusaders had a six-point lead and a decisive re-bounding advantage. The finaltotals showMoellerwinning thebattle of the boards 45-29, butturning the ball over a costly 22times.

Trotwood Madison’s Bennettled with 22 points, with his twokey three-balls to tie coming inthe final 120 seconds. Mack at-tempted just two shots from thearcandmadetheonethatcount-ed.

“Late in the game their pressgot a few turnovers and they hita few threes,” Kremer said.

“I told them‘don’t think thissmileonmyface isbecausewewon; I was here, we lost, butyou all were amazing and youhave been for four years,’”Bradley said. And he has rea-son to smile.

“It’s just a testament to thekids,” Bradley said. “… Thekids, we demanded so muchout of them and they just keptgiving and giving and got bet-ter and better. They just gaveall they could and to be in theregional final with this groupof kids was just amazing.”

KENWOOD — After 29years as head wrestlingcoach for ArchbishopMoeller High School, JeffGaier has announced hisretirement.

“Jeff has had a longand distinguished ca-reer,” said Athletic Direc-tor Mike Asbeck in astatement to the facultyand staff, “and it is withgreat respect that I hopeyou can join me in thank-ing him for his service toour wrestling program.Thatbeingsaid, Jeff isnotgoing anywhere,” he add-ed. “Jeffwillbestayingonin his technology role andwill be a sounding boardfor me and future coach-es.”

to-one laptop program,which was initiated in1995andbegan in1998,be-coming one of the firstschools in the nation touse technology as a per-sonal learning tool. In2002, educational technol-ogy leader IBM selectedMoeller as a model pro-gram in technology edu-cation.

At the 2014GCLCham-pionships, Moeller placedfirst out of 12 teams with286.5 points. This was the12th consecutive leaguetitle and the21st in the last22 years.

and Jack Meyer (285).Dean added his name tothe very short list (4) offour-time GCL Champi-ons. In Chalmer’s case, itwas his third time on thewinner’s stand.

In the sectional cham-pionships, the Crusadersclaimed the 18th title inthe last 22 seasons with ateam total of 278.5 points.Thirteen athletes movedonto theDistrict.Threeofthem as No.1 seeds: Con-ner Ziegler (120), ConnorBorton (126), and DakotaSizemore (182).

ley said of his star senior.“He was handed the ballas a freshman to startfrom day one. … We can-not take him out of thegame. He has to guardtheirbestplayer; hehas tobring (the ball) up everytime; he’s on his knees inthe second quarter be-cause we ask so much ofhim and he’s only going toget better when he hasother scholarship playersaround him. The best forhim is yet to come in bas-ketball and his personalgrowth.”

That growth will comenext year as Woods re-ceived a full ride to the

University of Pennsylva-nia where he will try toplayboth football andbas-ketball. To know how im-portantWoods has been tothe Silver Knights, justask Bradley what they’dbe like without him.

“Without him we’re 3-19 and we’re home threeweeks ago,” he said.

Flying under the radaris something that fuels alot of teams, especially ateam like Summit that’smade it to the regionaltournament four consecu-tive years now. “So manypeople counted us out,”Woods said. “This groupof guys worked so hard toget this far, so like coachBradleysaid,weprobablyoverachieved this year,but it was a pleasure to behere.”

“Even the last play, wedidn’t let Bennett get atouch. There was a de-flected ball that rolled outto a guy and he makes ashot. The basketball godsare cruel.”

Foulswerenearlyevenwith Moeller committing23 to Trotwood’s 22, butthe fast and frantic actiondown the stretch took anemotional toll on the Cru-saders and their fans.

“I think overall for thegreatpartof thegame, theofficiating 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 run back atus.”

Leading Moeller wassenior Jack Anton with 21points and 14 rebounds.Fellow senior Tre’ Haw-kins had 13 points and ju-nior Nate Fowler had 12pointsand ledall rebound-ers with 15.

Blanketed again by theopposition’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’regoingtomiss thosekids and what they’reabout andhow they repre-sent our school. That’s ascrushed a locker room asI’ve ever been around.”

The ObamaAdministra-tion plans toshrink ourmilitary tolevels wehaven’t seensince beforeWorld War II.So, is theworld a saferplace? Hardly.

Turmoilengulfs muchof the world. Syria continuesto unravel, threatening vitalU.S. interests throughout theregion. Iran, the world’s big-gest supporter of terrorism,is determined to acquire nu-clear weapons, despite theObama Administration’snaïve plan to slow Iran’s nu-clear program by easing sanc-tions. Iraq is coming apart atthe seams. North Korea con-tinues to be a menace, with amadman at the helm.

And China, that bastion offreedom and democracy, isengaged in an unprecedentedmilitary build-up, which willmake their military a directthreat to ours in the very nearfuture. China has had double-digit growth in militaryspending every year for thelast 25 years!

Recently, in addition tothreatening to occupy andconfiscate islands frommany

of their neighbors, Chinadeclared, without a legal rightto do so, an air-defense zonein the region, demandingaircraft from other countries(including the U.S.) report toChina when flying throughthis zone, or risk being shotdown. Based on these actions,it certainly appears that Chi-na, like much of the world,sees the Obama Administra-tion as weak, indecisive, andin retreat.

Meanwhile, as China ag-gressively expands its mil-itary capabilities, and growseconomically and militarilystronger, President Obamaproposes to weaken our de-fense forces.

Here are some of the num-bers. The Obama Administra-tion has proposed a 13 percentcut in the Army, a 5 percentcut in the Reserve, and thecomplete elimination of theAir Force’s A-10 “Warthog”tank-killer aircraft as well asour U-2 spy planes.

The direction PresidentObama has set for the Navy isarguably even worse. Where-as Ronald Reagan famouslyadvocated a 600-ship Navyand, as president, increasedour number of ships to wellover 500, the Obama Admini-stration has us down to 283ships, and shrinking! He eventried to eliminate one of our

11 aircraft carriers. Fortu-nately, he has backed off thatproposal for now, becauseevery one of our carriers iscritical to project Americanpower around the globe.

As a member of Congress,and as an American, the thingI find so frustrating about thispresident is that he’s finethrowing money at bloatedstimulus packages, welfareprograms, and the bottomlesspit of Obamacare; but when itcomes to our one critical gov-ernment expenditure, ournation’s defense, he grabs achainsaw and cuts away. It’swrong-headed, it’s short-sid-ed, and it’s dangerous.

The purpose of a strongdefense is having it ready ifwe need it. But even moreimportantly, a strong defense,ideally, avoids military actionaltogether, because potentialenemies fear the conse-quences of initiating aggres-sion. Peace through strength.

Congress will have to ap-prove President Obama’sproposed defense cuts. Hewon’t get my vote, but withthis president, we have to beprepared for the possibilitythat he tries to circumventthe law, and the Constitution,and act by executive order.

Helping theenvironmentdoesn’t have tobe expensiveor difficult.One of theeasiest ways tohelp improveour air qualityis to avoididling yourvehicle whenparked or notin use.

Idling wastes money andnatural resources, affects theenvironment and harms ourhealth.

Thirty seconds of idling

can use more fuel than turn-ing off the engine and re-starting it. Not idling a vehicleis a quick and easy way tosave money.

Vehicle exhaust containscarbon monoxide, nitrogendioxide, particulate matterand volatile organic com-pounds, all of which at certainlevels can harm the environ-ment and our health.

Remember to turn yourengine off at the ATM, activerailroad crossings and whilewaiting to pick-up friends andfamily. Children are partic-ularly susceptible to emis-sions from idling vehicles

because their respiratorysystems are still developingand they breathe at a fasterrate than adults.

We can all help to improvethe environment, save a littlemoney, and breathe easier byturning off our engines whilewe wait.

To find out more ways to doyour share for cleaner air,visit the Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency online atwww.SouthwestOhioAir.org.

A plan hasbeen present-ed in BooneCounty toarm staffmembers atschools withguns – toprotect them.

Let me seeif I got thisright. Afterthe horrorsof Sandy Hook Elementary,Columbine and dozens of oth-ers, Boone County plans tosolve this problem with…moreguns, this time permanentlywithin reach of children – oradults who are not law en-forcement? Well, there arethousands of reasons why thisidea borders on insanity, butfor the fiscally conservative,here are a few;

1, Who is going to pay forthis? The United States al-ready lags behind most of thedeveloped world in education.Are we to spend a part of therapidly diminishing budget pieto arms and train people in theschools? I personally wouldhave a problem voting for anyincrease in, or new levy of,taxes, to pay for anything buteducation in our schools.

2, Local law enforcementseemed to back the idea. Thisis truly sad, because it is aslippery slope. We already paytaxes so that the police canprotect us, and our families inour daily lives. Accepting thisplan means that the police aresubtly saying, “we can’t do it,we give up. You do it. We’ll stilltake your money, but we’re

can’t do what we are here todo, so we’ll hand over some ofour responsibilities to you.” Itis also a way of keeping the taxmoney for public safety anddoing less with the same. Thesolution isn’t fobbing off theproblem to the schools. Thesolution is to demand that thepolice perform the job it ispaid to do, and to fund themgenerously to do so.

3, CNBC’s ranking of “TopStates 2013” measured all 50sates on 51measures of com-petitiveness with input frombusiness groups including theNational Association of Manu-facturers and The Council onCompetitiveness. Kentucky, Iam sad to say, ranked 36th outof 50. In the Education metric,the state ranked 43rd. Ken-tucky, as a state and as taxpay-ers, you must question thewisdom of not demanding thatthe police protect your schoolsas they are paid to do and add-ing the expense of arming andtraining staff members tocarry guns, instead of demand-ing funds to improve youreducational system.

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 aproblem protecting your chil-dren unless you relieve thepolice from that responsibility.Who is paying for this? Whywould you not spend that mon-ey to improve your schools?

March 12 questionDo you agree with the tactics

recently used by Greenpeace ac-tivists at Procter & Gamble Co.headquarters in Downtown Cin-cinnati? Why or why not?

“To me the actions of Green-peace puts them in the sameleague as the Ku Klux Klan.”

R.V.

“I do not agree with destruc-tion of property without provo-cation. The Greenpeace organi-zation sometimesgoes too far inits support of the environmen-tal and animal rights' causes.

“Breaking windows or de-stroying property for the sakeofaprotest justbringsattentionby themedia to the lawbreakersinstead of the issue. This was amistake by the protesters andallows them to be lumped inwithhippies,draft-dodgers,andother counter-cultural groupswho most Americans don't un-derstand.”

T.J.P.

“Absolutely I agree withGreenpeace activists hangingbanners at Procter & Gambleheadquarters! Somebody has tostep forward to make the worldaware of rainforest and endan-gered animal destruction, andthey have the courage andfunds to do so when others donot.

“I wholeheartedly applaudtheir successful effort to bringthis destruction to light, as cer-tainly Proctor & Gamble wasnot going to unless they werepushed to the edge, and theywere.

“What are we doing to ourearth? Fracking a massiveamount of acres, andnoplace tostore the millions of gallons of

dangerous chemicals used.Mountain tops disappearing inWest Virginia, all to feed exces-sive energy demands. Coalsludge and chemicals beingdumped inourwaterways, shut-ting down entire communities'fresh water supplies.

“And yes, rainforests world-wide disappearing at an alarm-ing rate. Everyone shouldmakeaconcertedeffort touse lessen-ergy, as every light turned offand furnace turned downmakes a difference.We have allseemed to forget that.”

J.B.

“Not at all. Our country pro-vides for protected free speechin many ways. The activistschose to ignore those protectedoptions and commit a premedi-tated crime to convey theirmessage.

“The rights of Procter andGamble shouldbeprotected thesame as any other citizen. Ifyour neighbor doesn’t like yourbarking dog, should he be ableto break into your house and flya banner from your roof?”

NEIGHBORS INTHE NEWS

Miami Townshipauthor MelissaLanders offi-

cially released her firstbook, “Alienated,” witha launch party at Jo-seph-Beth BooksellersFeb. 4.

“The book will beavailable at that point,”Landers said. “Maybethis will encouragepeople to go out to thelocal store and look forit.”

It has been a longtime coming for Land-ers. Writing, publishing,and releasing “Alienat-ed” has been a long andinteresting journey forthe local author.

“This has been a longroad,” Landers said.“Twenty-seven monthsfrom acquisition topublication.”

Even longer whenyou figure Landerswrote it as part of aNational Novel WritingMonth challenge inNovember 2009. Knownas NaNoWriMo, the

challenge is to write anovel in 30 days. It washer first attempt atwriting a book. Morethan four years, fiverewrites, an agent se-cured, and sale to Dis-ney’s Hyperion Bookslater, “Alienated” isfinally available to thepublic.

“Four years ago, hereI was just starting out,having no clue how towrite a book,” she said,“fumbling around Na-NoWriMo forums feel-ing like a total impostor.Now, I’m writing anarticle for them.”

Landers called it “areally big turning pointfor her” when theireditorial director askedher to write an articlefor the NaNoWriMoblog in January. Itmeant a lot to her thatthey asked her to writeabout how to edit yourNaNoWriMo story.

“It was an unexpect-ed perk,” Landers said.“It was very validating.”

If she needs vali-dation for her writing.You see, while those

four years passed, ed-iting, selling and finallypublishing “Alienated,”Landers also releasedthree romance novelsunder the name of MacyBeckett. The “SultrySprings” series waspublished by Source-books and has had posi-tive reviews. She hasalso written the first twobooks in “The DumontBachelors” romanceseries for PenguinBooks.

“Make You Blush” isscheduled for an April 1release, “Make YouMine” and “Make YouRemember” will follow.

Still “Alienated,”which Landers wrote forDisney’s Hyperionyoung adult/teen read-ers, is the first book shewrote.

“Alienated is thestory of valedictorianCara Sweeney, who getsmore than she bar-gained for when sheagrees to host the firstinterplanetary exchangestudent,” Landers said.“That’s the one-liner Igive everybody because

that sums it up best.”The tone is light,

humorous and veryromantic, but the storyaddresses some “deeperissues” as well. Cara andexchange student Aelyxget off to a rocky startbefore becoming friendsand developing a deeperrelationship.

Landers had the mostfun writing Aelyx’s expe-riences on earth andcompared him to televi-sion’s “Big Bang Theory”character Sheldon Coop-

er, except Aelyx is “hot.”She offers an idea of whatwill be most fun for thereaders, but you’ll have toread it to decide for your-self.

“It’s a slow burn forthese two,” Landers said.“Cara tracks her experi-ence through her blog.There are actual blogentries and Disney did acute job creating a blogheader. Alienated is actu-ally the title of her blog. Alot of readers have en-joyed that aspect.”

As I write this col-umn, I can see thefield beyond our

vegetable garden sowedwith winter rye. After itsprouted, it stayed nes-tled under a blanket ofsnow until recently. Itlooks like a pale greencarpet. Seeing newgrowth at this time ofyear just gives me abright outlook on my day.My cooking is starting toreflect the change ofseason, too. I’m thinkingway ahead with lighterfare and fun sides anddesserts 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 at

our table Ithought hebroughtme some-body else’sdessert.Since thenI’ve madeit manytimes. Mycurrentfavorite is

this 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 refrigeratora couple hours beforeserving.

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. AWest-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.

It’s a problem that’splagued the Tristate foryears – sewers backing upinto area homes.Several years ago afederal court or-dered the Cincin-nati MetropolitanSewer District topay to clean upsewer back-updamage, but thathasn’t solved theproblem every-where.

Sewer back-upscan occur just about ev-erywhere and they can notonly damage your base-ment, but your belongingsas well. Unless you protectyourself, you could bestuck with huge clean-upbills. That’s what hap-pened to Karla Kramerafter a sewer back-up ather Alexandria home latelast year.

“We came home to aweird smell and wentdownstairs and noticedsome puddles,” Kramersaid. That’s when Kramerand her husband, Daniel,founded their basementwas flooded with severalinches of sewer water.

“The water was actu-ally gushing up throughthe sewer,” she said. Aplumber was soon able todetermine their sewer lineto the street was clear; itwas the sanitation dis-trict’s main line that wasclogged up. “There weredeep tree roots that hadgrown through the lines,”Kramer said.

In addition to replacingthe tile on the basementfloor, as well as the carpet,the Kramers had to re-place drywall becauseeverything was damagedby that sewer water.Northern Kentucky San-itation District No. 1,known as SD-1, came outand fixed the sewer linebut won’t pay for the Kra-mers’ damage.

“They came out andsaid, ‘Yes, it was definitelytheir fault,’ but since theydidn’t actually know (theblockage) was there theywere not at fault,” Kramersaid. Fortunately, theKramers have sewer

back-up insurance as partof their homeowner’scoverage. But they only

had $5,000 cov-erage and the dam-age to their homeand belongingsexceeded $12,000.

SD-1DirectorDave Rager saidthat while suchback-up s are un-fortunate, they dohappen. “It is notuncommon that ithappens in our

system. We try to keep upwith the system but theydo happen. That’s part ofthe reason why so manyutilities are owned by thegovernment, the challengeof maintaining systemslike this,” Rager said.

Rager said the sewerdistrict will be checkingthe lines in Kramers’neighborhood every sixmonths to make sure theyremain clear. Unlike theCincinnati MetropolitanSewer District, SD-1’sfederal court decreedoesn’t require it to payfor undetected sewer lineproblems. “We have 700miles of lines. That’s al-most enough to go fromcoast to coast,” Ragersaid.

The Kramers have nowincreased their sewerback-up insurance andthis is something all home-owners should consider –especially those with afinished basement. Inaddition, those who renthomes should check theirrenter’s insurance policy.

A Forest Park man saidalthough he has renter’sinsurance, his policydidn’t cover the recentsewer back-up damage tohis belongings. So, be-cause many renters’ pol-icies don’t automaticallyinclude sewer back-upcoverage, you need to askfor this protection.

Proper sleep is a keyelement to living ahealthy lifestyle. Poorsleep can lead to varietyof health problems, espe-cially if you choose toignore it.

Not getting the recom-

mended seven to eighthours of sleep per daycan result in insomnia,fragmented sleep atnight and daytime fa-tigue and sleepiness.Poor sleep can also causea disturbance of appetitehormones, which canthen lead to weight gainand obstructive sleepapnea.

To stay alert through-out the day, try thesesleep tips:

1. Maintain a regularsleep/wake schedule,even on the weekends. Afixed timetable helpsyour body regulate itssleep pattern and get themost out of the hours yousleep. Long naps candramatically affect the

quality of your nighttimesleep. If you have to takea nap, try limiting it to15-20 minutes in the latemorning or early after-noon.

2. Establish a regular,relaxing bedtime ritualprior to bedtime. Being“exhausted” is not thesame as being “sleepy.”Physical exhaustion re-quires time to relax andunwind, which youshould do prior to head-ing to bed for sleep.

3. Exercise regularly.Even moderate exercisecan help you sleep better.Set a goal for at least 30minutes of moderateexercise, three times aweek or more. However,

you want to make sureyou finish at least threehours before bedtime.Exercise raises bodytemperature, which in-terferes with fallingasleep.

4. Watch what youdrink and eat beforebedtime. Avoid caffeineafter 5 p.m. and if youare hungry, eat smallsnacks, not large meals.While alcohol might helpyou feel sleepy in theshort term, it ultimatelyruins your sleep duringthe second half of thenight by lessening howdeeply you sleep, leavingyou feeling less re-freshed when the alarmgoes off.
