Sycamore CommunitySchools held a dedication andopen house marking the firstschool year completed in thenew Maple Dale ElementarySchool.

The construction for newMaple Dale is nearly complete.

The school is on the sameproperty as the oldMaple Dale,but only the gymnasium, whichwas built in 2001, remains fromthe old school.

“It took us three years tobuild. It has been quite a jour-ney and we are glad that wehave completed it,” Maple DalePrincipal Ron Brooks .

Superintendent AdrienneJames commended the teach-ers and staff of the school forcontinuing to work diligentlyduring the construction.

“Through all of the displace-ment and changes, they con-tinued themost importantworkof teaching and helping our stu-dents,” James said.

James said the district start-ed the process of building newMaple Dale in 2010 after theOhio School Facilities Commis-sion recommended that 18 of 23mechanical and structural sys-tems be repaired or replaced.Construction of the new schoolwas funded by a bond issues,which passed in 2010.

New Maple Dale has a geo-

thermal heating and coolingsystem, energy efficient light-ing and improved learningspaces.

The school was built to hold575 preschool through fourth-grade students. With the dis-trict’s redistricting efforts, 54Montgomery ElementarySchool students will attend Ma-ple Dale next year. The districtheld a special open house forthose students and their fam-ilies prior to the public one. Thedistrict is also moving all pre-schoolclasses fromSymmesEl-ementary School to Maple Dalenext year.

Though it is still far frombe-ing finished, Summit Park ismoving into its second phase ofconstruction.

Phase two will include con-struction of the communitybuilding, glass canopy and sitework around those areas. Theestimated cost for phase two is$11 million to $12 million, saidDougRack ofTurnerConstruc-tion, who presented an updateon the construction to BlueAshCity Council April 24.

“With phase one you’ll haveapark that is operational. It hasa heart, but it doesn’t reallyhave abrain.Weneedaplace toput the brains in,” Rack said,adding that was the reason the

community building is part ofphase two.

City Manager David Waltzsaid the city ismarketing avail-able restaurant space in thecommunity building, in addi-tion to the city-managed foodvendors that will be in thebuilding.

Phase one included infra-structure, great lawn, seatingareas, playground, restroomsand part of the stage. Rack saidphase one is slated to finish bythe end of the summer.

Rack said the constructionof the great lawn was delayedbecause of weather, but wasscheduled to restart in the lastweek of April.

“We are hoping to have sodlaid in their by the end ofMay,”Rack said.

He added the constructionof the stage has been brokendown intophasesandphaseoneis already underway.

“This portion of the stagewill allow you all to do yourevents comes June or July,”Rack said, adding it is in the de-sign process and will go out tobid soon.

Michael Schuster of MSAArchitects explained how theglass canopy and communitybuilding will allow the city tostartholdingevents in thepark.

“There are some function el-ements that allows us to haveevents. For instance if we havean event under the glass cano-py there will be restrooms inthe community building,” he

Sycamore Township vot-ers overwhelmingly sup-ported an electricity aggre-gation proposal.

More than 80 percent ofvoted for the ballotmeasureand 19.6 percent votedagainst it, according to theunofficial results from theHamilton County Board ofElections.

Ronda Larrickwas one of1,730 residents who votedfor aggregation.

“I think it’s a great thing.It helped when they did thegas one,” she said. “I intendon using it. Nothing in life isgetting cheaper.”

But resident Carl Brink-er said he voted no becausehe doesn’t “necessarilytrust” Sycamore Townshipto find the best deal outthere.

“It leaves too much roomfor greed and graft,” hesaid, adding that he’s leeryof giving over control.

Because voters approvedthe aggregation proposal,residents could be automat-ically enrolled in a programwith an electricity supplierthe townshipchooses.Town-ship officials, however,have said thevoter approval

does not mean they have tomove forward with aggre-gation.

By having a larger buy-ing pool, communities canoften get lower rates thanindividuals seeking to saveon energy costs. Residentscould later opt-out of the ag-gregation program.

Township trustees earli-er this year started an opt-inelectricity aggregation pro-gram where residents canchoose to sign up for lowerelectricity rates from DukeEnergy Retail.

Even though voters ap-proved the ballot issue, theopt-in program would stillbe available until trusteesmove forward with an opt-out electricity aggregationprogram.

In 2008 Sycamore Town-shipvoters approvedanatu-ral gas aggregation pro-gram, and the trusteessigned a contract with Inte-grys Energy Services thefollowing year.

Officials have said thenatural gas aggregationprogram has saved resi-dents close to $1 millionsince its implementation.

A Sharonville companyis offering nonprofitgroups and individuals anopportunity to get rid ofunused electronics with-out adding to dumps orharming the environment.

ArecyclingeventatRe-Source, 3610 Park 42Drive, will take placeMay

21, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.ReSource Cincy redis-

tributes corporate dona-tions and provides train-ing workshops to membernonprofits.

The electronics recy-cling event is a partner-ship with Cohen, a recy-cling and scrap manage-ment company in Middle-town.

“This opportunity pre-

sented itself because weknowthatusuallynonprof-it organizations are not in-cluded in public electronicrecycling days hosted forcounty residents, but non-profit organizations stillneed a way to dispose ofelectronics,” said ColleenWeinkam, communica-tions consultant at Re-Source Cincy.

Recycling old electron-

ics keeps them out ofdumps, where lead frommany items can leach intothe soil. Safely disposingof the electronics, becauseof the lead, brings cost tothe recycler, Weinkamsaid, so Cohen will chargea small fee.

Other recycling sites,including the HamiltonCounty Recycling and Sol-idWasteDistrict, charge a

fee for similar items.“Depending on the size

and year, a TV or monitorcan contain up to sixpounds of lead, whichposes potential healthrisks,” Weinkam said.“There is a small fee in or-der to properly and safelydispose of CRT monitorsand TVs with tubes.”

The event is free forReSource member non-

profits, with a donation of$10 for individuals and $20for non-member nonprof-its.

Items that can be recy-cled includepersonal com-puters, routers, modems,phones, fax machines,printers and televisions,among others.

A complete list can befound on the Cohen web-site, www.cohenusa.com.

Montgomeryobserved Arbor Daywith severaltree-focusedactivities

The City of Montgo-mery was recognized bythe nonprofit Arbor DayFoundationasa2013TreeCity USA community forits commitment to urbanforestry.

Montgomery hasearned this national des-ignation for 18 years.Montgomery alsoachieved a 2013 GrowthAward for the 15th year.

The Tree City USAProgram is sponsored bythe Arbor Day Founda-tion in cooperation withthe National Associationof State Foresters andthe USDA Forest Ser-vice.

Montgomery has metthe four standards to be-come a Tree City USAcommunity. Tree CityUSA communities musthave a tree board or de-partment, a tree-care or-dinance, a comprehen-sive community forestryprogram, and an ArborDay observance andproclamation.

Volunteerswere invit-ed to participate inArborDay observance by con-tributing to the assemblyof the annual Tree Seed-ling Bag and Tag, spon-sored by the city’s Beau-tification and Tree Com-mission, on Thursday,April 24, at the PublicWorks Building, Theseseedlings were then dis-tributed to local elemen-tary students. Visit theCity Facebook page forpictures from that day.

As a part of observingArbor Day this year, cityarborist Terry Willen-brink hosted a free na-ture walk on Friday,April 25, at Pioneer andDulle Parks From there,the group discussed allthings related to treesand shrubs. Picturesfrom that event are alsofound on the City Face-book page.

“We commend Mont-gomery’s elected offi-cials, volunteers and itscitizens for providing vi-tal care for its urban for-est,” said John Rosenow,chief executiveand foun-der of the Arbor DayFoundation. “Trees pro-vide numerous environ-mental, economical andhealth benefits to mil-lions of people every day,and we applaud commu-nities that make plantingand caring for trees a toppriority.”

Communities thatearn Tree City USA rec-ognition not only havetaken the time to meetthe four standards, theyknow that trees:

» promote healthiercommunities by filteringthe air we breathe by re-moving dust and otherparticles;

»moderate climate,conserve water and pro-vide vital habitat forwildlife;

» reduce the heat is-land effect in urbanareas caused by pave-ment and buildings;

» increase propertyvalues and reduce ener-gy use and add beauty toour homes and neighbor-hoods.

said adding, the play-ground is very close tothe community building.

Schuster said phasetwo is about creatingpub-lic amenities in that endof the park.

“After phase two thepark is really hitting on

all cylinders,” Rack said.Rack said place hold-

erswill beput inwhile theteam is waiting to put inpieces from futurephases, such as the waterfeatures. He said therewill be no danger in hav-ing the park open whileother parts are still underconstruction. A trailthrough the park is al-ready open and the play-groundisalmost finished.

“This is going to be along process, but we arevery excited. We wouldlove to build the park onshow on those ultimatecomputer renderings, butit is going to take time. Sowhat we are doing aresegments at a time with abudget that makessense,” Waltz said.

Waltz said phase oneand phase two were eachbudgeted for more than

$10 million.Waltz said he worked

with Rack to make surethe park could be func-tional and give the citythe opportunity to growinto theparkandseewhatmakes sense for futurephases

For the fifth consecutiveyear, the National Associationof Music Merchants hasnamed Sycamore CommunitySchools as one of the BestCommunities for Music Edu-cation in the nation for dis-playing an exceptionally highcommitment to providing stu-dents with a comprehensivemusic education.

A non-profit that promoteslifetime music participation,NAMM works with The Insti-tute for Educational Researchand Public Service to deter-mine which districts will re-ceive the prestigious honor byconducting an annual nation-wide search to identify com-munities that exemplify astrongcommitment to musiceducation. Portions of theidentification process includegathering information aboutprogram funding, staffing ofhighly qualified teachers,commitment to standards andaccess to music instruction.

“Sycamore’s music pro-grams have earnedmany hon-ors throughout the years, butthe great thing about thisaward is that it acknowledgesexcellencethroughout the en-tire district,” said Adrienne C.James, superintendent. “Weshare this award with our en-tire community because wecould not have achieved thislevel of excellence withouttheir support.”

MONTGOMERY — She runsfor a reason. Several, actually.

Amy Robillard won the 2014Flying PigMarathonMay 3, herfirst timeentering the 26.2-mileraceafterwinning thehalfmar-athon in 2011 and 2012.

“Istill can’tbelieve it,”Robil-lard said thedayafter themara-thon. “It was a amazing, justamazing.”

That Robillard - an assistantcross country coach atUrsulineAcademy - ran at all is some-thing of a miracle after shebroke her leg in December.

UAcrosscountryheadcoachRachelBea -whowontheFlyingPig in2012asRobillardwaswin-ning the half marathon - said itwas a great day for the Lions.

“I finished thehalfmarathonandwent back out on the courseto find her near the end,” shesaid. “I was jumping up anddown screaming (at the finish

line).Shejusthas thatkindof in-ner strength. If she gets hermind set to do something, shegets it done and delivers.

“Therewere a couple of girlsout on the course who werecheeringforher. I think it’sreal-ly good for ourgirls to seewe’renot just talking the talk. We’rewalking the walk. The girlsknowAmy is a toughcoachwithtough love. If anything it showsthem how they can overcomeanything.”

Robillard had more than abroken leg as an obstacle thelast few years.

Her then-infant son Jameson- nurses at Children’s HospitalnicknamedhimJamo - needed abone marrow transplant. Amyand her husband spent the bet-ter part of a year in isolationwith him as he got the trans-plant and recovered.

“When you live in a trans-plant unit, you’re really isolat-ed,” Robillard said. “(Running)was my therapy. I needed that

release. I was mentally drainedand I need to recharge. I waspower-walking through the hos-pital at 2 a.m.. The security peo-ple and others letmeknowgoodplaces to run. They understoodit was a big help.”

Jamo, now healthy at age 4,still has to go in for weekly labwork to make sure he’s OK.AmygiveshimaMatchbookcarafter every visit for his braveryin the face of countless need-less. He gives her the strengthto excel.

“I have no reason to com-plain,” she said. “I have pulledsomuch strength from him andfrom what I saw other familiesgoing through.Running amara-thon hurts, yes. If you’re run-ning a 2:30 marathon or a 4:30marathon, there’s going to besome pain, but this is nothing.Those kids at Children’s didn’tchoose what they’re goingthrough

SYCAMORE TWP — .Thoughthey’ve run the typical gaunt-let of Greater Miami Confer-ence teams, Sycamore HighSchool’s girls softball teamhas some impressive numbersunder new coach, Sarah Mel-vin.

The 2000 graduate andmember of the Sycamore Ath-letic Hall of Fame has guidedthe Lady Aves to their mostwins since 2007. Should theymake a postseason run, thesquad could have their firstwinning season in eight years.

“I’m hoping there’smore tocome,” Melvin said. “We’rewaiting for that one gamewhere we surprise somebodythat we’re not supposed tobeat.”

Sycamore has hoveredaround themiddle of theGMCpack behind frontrunnersMa-son, Fairfield, Lakota Westand Lakota East. Among theteam’s senior leaders are agroup of players around themiddle of the field in KellyBorman,HannahMelvin,Bec-ca Plaatje and Kathryn Eber-hart. Borman has led the teamin hitting with an average inthe high .400s.

“Kelly Borman is amongthe league leaders in theGMC,” Melvin said. “She’s avery consistent hitter. She’lltake pitchers deep into thecount anddraw thewalk. She’ssomeone that our team relieson a lot.”

Another bright spot for theLady Aves has been freshmanLiz Izworski At presstime, sheled Sycamore in runs batted in(second in the GMC) and wastied with Eberhart with a pairof home runs. She’s also beenone of the pitchers.

“She’s come up very big,”Melvin said. “She’s had a lot ofRBI and clutch hits. She’s justa great all-around athlete. Beit first base, outfield or pitch-ing, she’s that player that canplayanywhereandexcelat it.”

Izworski is a year-roundplayer and aspires to play atthe collegiate level.

Leading the team in innings

pitched and earned run aver-age has been junior LydiaSloan.She’sbeenhelpedbythesolid fielding of Hannah Mel-vin and center fielder Plaatje.

“She’s a very good pitcherthat’s come into her own in thelast couple of years,” Melvinsaid. “She’s got a lot of move-ment on her ball.”

Sarah Melvin will lead hersix seniors, five juniors, foursophomores and nine fresh-men into the tournament onMay 12 against Amelia. A winover the Lady Barons wouldput them on the road at Harri-son.

“They’re excited to playand I think they’re starting toget more motivated,” Melvinsaid. “We didn’t get a greatseed in the tournament, butthe draw went better than wehadhopedgivenwhatourseedwas.”

The key for the Lady Aveswill be how they flash theleather.

“We either have a greatgamedefensivelyorwehaveafewerrors and that onebad in-ning really gets us,” Melvinsaid. “We have to play seveninnings all the way through.We’re not hitting enough togive teams runs.”

CINCINNATI —You go,girls.

That’s the messagethree-time Olympic goldmedal soccer starHeath-erMitts - aHydeParkna-tive and St. Ursula Acad-emy graduate - hopes toget out as she partnerswithTQLUrbanRace forthe She Plays, She Winsprogram.

Greater Cincinnatifemaleathletesages13 to24 have a chance to win$1,000 in scholarshipmoneyoruniformvouch-ers for their teamsthrough the new pro-gram.

“Webelieve it’s impor-tant to have strong wom-en in the workplace,”Kristine Glenn said,spokeswoman for TotalQualityLogistics,with lo-cal offices inMilford andUnion Township, Cler-mont County, and West-ern Hills. “A lot of thosewomen come out of asports background. Thisisachanceforgirls to tellpeople what their sportsmean to them now andhow they will benefitthem in the future.”

Girls can submit atwo-minute video or 500-word essay to the TQLUrban Race page onFacebook (www.face-book.com/ShePlaysSheWins) an-swering the question,“How have sports posi-tively impacted your lifeand how do you thinkthey will affect your fu-ture?” Entry deadline is

June 20.A panel of Tristate

women business leaderswill nominate the top fiveentries in age categories13 to 15, 16 to 18 and 19 to24. The public will voteon thewinners from July8 to 18.

Mitts was in the eligi-ble age range when shefirst began making aname for herself on thepitch. She was a sopho-more on SUA’s 1993 statechampionship team thatbeat Westerville North4-1 and finished the sea-son 21-1-2. She went on tothe University of Floridawhere she won an NCAAtitle with theGators overheavily favored NorthCarolina in 1998.

She played in the 2004Olympics in Athens, the2008 games in Beijingand the 2012 LondonOlympics, winning threegold medals along theway.

“I feel like it’s an op-portunity to give back,”Mitts said. “I think it’s avery positive thing, obvi-ously, for girls to havesports in their lives.”

Glenn said TQL is in-volved in several chari-ties related to youth ath-letics. Its annual UrbanRace benefits the RedsCommunity Fund andMarvin Lewis Communi-ty Fund, both of whichprovideopportunities forat-risk youth in the com-munity through sportsand education. ShePlays,SheWins is just an exten-sion of that involvement.

Mitts is now retiredand living inPhiladelphiawith her husband, for-mer NFL quarterbackA.J. Feeley, and 3-month-old son, Connor.

Mitts said she stays intouch with a lot of theplayers from the 1993state championship soc-cer team from SUA. Shewill host her annual soc-cer camp July 19 atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity.

“All these teams Iplayed on and had suc-cess with - from the statechamps, to the NCAA, tothe Olympics - the onething we had in commonwasthatwewerecloseonand off the field,” Mittssaid. “You learn a lotfrom the girls you playwith every day.”

A publication of

There are many whomourn the recent passing offormer Unites States Ambas-sador John E. Dolibois and Iam one of them.

I had the pleasure of spend-ing time with AmbassadorDolibois during his lateryears at his home in Cincin-nati. We had a few things incommon such as our almamater, Miami University, andour mutual brotherhood in theAlpha Chapter of Beta ThetaPi.

For those that are not fa-miliar with John’s legacy, hewas a former U.S. Ambassa-dor to his native county ofLuxembourg (appointed byPresident Reagan in 1981) andwas the last American survi-vor of a team that interrogat-ed top-ranking Nazis for the

NurembergTrials. He wasinstrumentalin the devel-opment of theMiami Univer-sity DoliboisEuropeanCenter in Lux-embourg, andin 1987, hereceived theCross of the

Grand Ducal Order of theCrown of Oak, Luxembourg’shighest decoration.

John had a very warm spir-it. I recall during our last visithe shared his Luxembourgwine, told me about the vari-ous paintings that adjournedhis living room, all painted byLuxembourg artists, and un-veiled handwritten mementos

that were sent to him and hisbeloved wife, Winnie, by vari-ous state officials.

Time stood still as he toldstory after story… The onethat sticks out most was anincident involving a hidden orsecret telephone that in thosedays was an Ambassador’sdirect line to the oval office –John’s telephone was hiddenbehind a curtain in his officebuilding. He recalled that hiswife, Winnie, was cleaningand accidentally bumped thephone off the cradle. Whenshe picked up to her surprisewas President Reagan on theother end, “Winnie... is thatyou?” As John recounted,President Reagan was veryunderstanding and lightheart-ed in what was certainly anembarrassing moment for

Winnie.Ambassador Dolibois re-

marked that his life had beena “Pattern of Circles,” return-ing to the same familiarplaces and people after a peri-od of absence, and that iswhere he drew inspiration forthe name of his autobiogra-phy. John never forgot wherehe came from or the peopleand family that helped inalong the way. He is loved byhis fellowMiami Alumni,Beta Theta Pi brothers, andall else who were impacted byhis warm spirit, thoughtfuladvice and selfless devotion.

John E. Dolibois will bemissed, but never forgotten.

JEDZ just anotherstraw on back ofstruggling businesses

Another reason for busi-nesses in Symmes Townshipand Milford to pack it in andclose up shop.

It seems that many peoplebelieve that anyonewho ownstheir own business is wealthy.How far from reality thatreally is. Canweafford anoth-er tax? Absolutely not! Mysmall business is known (sys-tem statistics) to have an av-erage yearly profit of 5.33percent. Commodity pricescontinue to increase. We areon the verge of a minimumwage increase.

Is this the place for com-munities to find ways “tomaintain quality of life stan-dards that their citizens havecome tooexpect” on thebacksof their struggling businessowners and employees whowork for them?

Figure it out folks, even ifourbusinesshas sales of $450,000 per year and does every-thing perfectly we mightsqueeze out $24, 000 (beforetaxes) for the entire year.Many years it’s much less.Youmight ask why even be inbusiness? We ask ourselvesthat every day. It seems like alot of work for nothing.

To present this tax to thepublic as an “alternative toraising property taxes”sounds like extortion to me.

This entire plan needs re-thinking.

It was not your ordinarySunday.

Amy Robillard of Montgo-mery won the women’s divi-sion of the Flying Pig mara-thon. Congratulations, Amy.Impressive. But not as impres-sive as a world record.

Yes, out of 36,131 runnerscompeting in 10 races on Fly-ing Pig weekend, one individ-ual set a world record for hisage. And, outside of a fewfriends and relatives, it wentunnoticed.

Cincinnatian Mike Fremontran the half-marathon in 3hours, 24 minutes, 35 seconds,shattering by nearly four min-utes his own world record thathe set earlier in the year inFlorida. Mike is 92.

Later in the evening “60Minutes” ran a segment onaging, about how people intheir 90s can live healthily andhappily. 72-year-old LesleyStahl, herself a testament tothe anti-aging blessings ofmedical and dental proce-dures, interviewed four 90-somethings who live in a re-tirement community calledLagunaWoods in Orange Coun-ty, California.

She also interviewed Dr.Claudia Kawas, a physicianwho has received NIH grantsto examine data from inter-views of 14,000 residents re-garding their diet, exercise,vitamins and activities. Kawasfound that vitamins didn’twork but a couple cups of cof-fee a day did. Up to two alco-holic drinks a day helped.Didn’t matter what kind. Smok-ing was bad. Duh. Forty-fiveminutes of daily exercise was

good. Duh. Sowas socializ-ing.

The re-searchersinterview 1,600men and wom-en over 90every sixmonths. Theycollect dataand analyze it.

The mostinteresting finding was thatweight gain (not loss) helpedprolong life.

She continued, “It’s not goodto be skinny when you’re old.”If this is true, then nearly 80percent of Americans, thepercentage of those over-weight and obese, are well ontheir way to a ripe old age.Except it isn’t true.

All scientific studies, andthey are many, point out thedangers of carrying too muchweight: arthritis, heart disease,cancer, diabetes, to name afew.

I doubt if Stahl or Kawashave read “Power Foods forthe Brain” by Dr. Neal Bar-nard.

Barnard cites numerouspeer-reviewed studies to showthe many ways to combat oreven reverse dementia andAlzheimer’s Disease: a plant-based diet, aerobic exercise,sleep, mental exercises.

He also alludes to the addic-tive properties of certain foods– yes, the ones that make usunhealthy – that trigger dopa-mine release in the brain, asubject he devoted an earlierbook to “Breaking the FoodSeduction.”

Yes, opiates found in meatand cheese are addictive. Andyes, food manufacturers knowthis, but most Americans don’t.

A few years ago I developedLifeNuts, a community-basedlongevity and vitality programdesigned to fight obesity bychanging lifestyles. I based theprogram on the life of Fre-mont, who, at that time still ranmarathons, you know, the 26.2-mile variety.

In November 2012, in Hun-tington, West Virginia, ironical-ly one of the 10 unhealthiestcities in America, he set theworld marathon record for a90-year-old.

Impressive. Good genes,you say. Wrong. Mike was asickly child and his parentsdidn’t live to 100. After decadesof consuming meat and dairy,he came down with cancer at70. He was given three monthsto live. Instead of chemo andradiation, he changed his diet,destressed his life and beat thecancer. That was 22 years ago.

Yes, it was an unusual Sun-day.

Dr. Bob Kroeger, a retired dentist,has been a Montgomery residentsince 1980. He is the founder of theLifeNuts program and the author ofLifeNuts. www.lifenuts.org.

At age 92, Mike Fremont’s lifestye of vegan eating and daily exercisehas helped to inspire the LifeNuts program. PROVIDED

May 7 questionWhat drives you crazy about

other drivers?

“There are a few habits of oth-erdrivers thatbugme:One is tail-gating i.e. following too closelybehind me when I am going theproper speed.

“The other is the lack of usinga turn signal.

“The final one would be thosedriving with out insurance.

“It seems that half the acci-dents are with drivers who do nothave the proper insurance.

“TheOhioDMVneedstobeau-thorized to check for and actuallysee an insurance card from any-

one getting license tags or a driv-er’s license renewal.

“Go Figure!”T.D.T.

“1. Drivers who don’t stop at

crosswalks. Pedestrians whodon’t use crosswalks.

“2. Drivers who turn rightright, then immediately wait toturn left into a corner property.They could have continuedstraight and just made one rightturn without obstructing traffic.

“3. Drivers that block an inter-section when the light is green. Iftherewasn’t roomforyou to clearthe intersection, just wait untilthe next light cycle. This alsoleads to the other annoying driv-ers that take this opening tomakea ‘right turnonred,’ takingadvan-tage of the driver waiting untilthere was room for them to ad-vance. Ifeveryonewould justbea

bit more patient, traffic shouldflowbetter as designed and if youdon’tmake that traffic light cycleyourcarwillbefirst in linefor thenext green light.”

“4. Two way left turn lanes(chicken lanes or suicide lanes)are not passing lanes.”

Here we were, wish-ing for warmer weatherand it finally arrived.That means asparagus,and lots of it.

Every day I go out tothe asparagus patch andharvest a couple ofpounds at least. And it’s

not a bigpatch.

With allthe otherspringchores,like tillingand plant-ing andsowing,there isn’ta lot oftime to

plan for or prepare sup-per. Luckily, the “girls”/hens are keeping up withour demand of eggs, sobetween that and theabundance of asparagus,supper is a no brainer.

Asparagus baconquiche

Leftovers microwavewell. The ends of aspara-gus are tough. Aftercleaning, snap toughends off. Use for soup.There’s a natural “break”between the tough andtender parts.

9 or 10 inch pie panlined with pie dough

8 slices bacon, cut intosmall pieces

8 ounce or so aspara-gus, cut on angle in 1 inchor so pieces

4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 cups half and half ormilk

About 1 teaspoon saltand half teaspoon pepper

1 heaping cup shred-ded cheese or more

Preheat oven to 375.Saute bacon and re-

move. In remaining drip-pings, sauté asparagus acouple of minutes only,just until it turns bright

green. Remove from panwith slotted spoon.

Whisk eggs with milk.Add seasonings, cheese,bacon and asparagus.Pour into pie pan. Bake40-45 minutes untilpuffed all around. Thatmeans it’s done. If you’renot sure, insert a knife aninch from the edge. If itcomes out clean, you’regood to go.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

If crust browns toomuch before quiche isdone, make a “collar” offoil around the crust.

Asparagus: spearsof protection

Asparagus is a power-house when it comes tofolic acid, necessary forblood cell formation anda healthy liver. Pregnantwomen especially need toget enough folic acid forhealthy babies. Aspara-gus is also low in sodium,

a good source of potassi-um for healthy heartsand muscles, and a goodsource of fiber. Oh, andone more thing: it’s low incalories and has zero fator cholesterol.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

As new guidelines gointo effect requiring col-leges to post the passingrates for students on theVeterinaryTechnicianNa-tional Examination, re-sults show that the Veteri-nary Technology programat UC Blue Ash Collegecontinues to be one of thebest in the region.

The American Veteri-nary Medical Association

recently began requiringVet Tech programs acrossthe U.S. to publicly postthe VTNE passing rates.Data shows that UC BlueAsh is well above the na-tional passing rate, asnearly every studentpasses the test on his orher first attempt.

“The results are a trib-ute to the quality of ourprogram and the hard

workanddedicationofourstudents,” said JenniferWells, chair of the VetTech Department at UCBlueAsh.“Ourfacultyandstaff do a tremendous jobof teaching and providingone on one instruction, butit’s really up to the stu-dents to absorb the infor-mationandhavethedesireto be successful.”

Vet Tech students learn

how to provide generalwellness care for animals,including vaccinations, di-agnostic testing, and sur-gerysupport.Theypursueopportunities in a varietyofveterinarypractices, in-cluding veterinary of-fices, industrial and medi-cal research institutions,zoos and the military.

The Vet Tech programatUCBlueAsh ismarkingits 45-year anniversary.More information abouttheprogramisavailableatwww.ucblueash.edu.

Deborah Somers is a sophomore in the UC Blue AshVeterinary Technology program. New publicly posted datashows it's among the best in the region at preparingstudents for the credentialing exam. THANKS TO PETE GEMMER
