Mount Lookoutresidents questioncity’s parking plan

Residents in one Cincinnatineighborhood are questioningwhether a newparking planwillbe good for the community.

Mayor John Cranley formal-ly unveiled his plan recently,which would replace the leasedeal the former administrationhad struck with the Port ofGreater Cincinnati Develop-ment Authority and a group ofprivate partners.

CouncilwomanAmyMurray,who spoke to the Mt. LookoutCommunity Council Feb. 17,said one of the key pieces of the

new proposal is control of ratesand that enforcement wouldstay with the city.

“So if there are issues wehave recourse,” she said. “Youcancome tousandsay, ‘Wehavea problem here,’ whereas withan outside entity we didn’t feelconfidentwe’d have that kind ofdialogue.”

When the previous parkingplan was introduced neighbor-hood leaders complained aboutthe increase in meter enforce-ment hours and the potentialrate hike.They feared, especial-ly in neighborhood business dis-tricts like Mt. Lookout, Oakleyand Hyde Park, that potential

customers would flee to placeslikeKenwoodmall orRookwoodPavilion because of the freeparking.

Eventually city officials andthe port authority relented andagreed to keep neighborhoodmeter hours enforceable until 6p.m., as they are now. Thoseneighborhood hours are expect-ed to stay inplaceunder thenewplan

Murray said neighborhoodmeter rates could increaseslightly, from 50 cents per hourto 75 cents per hour, but nothinghas been approved by CityCouncil. Another unknown inCranley’s parkingplan iswheth-

er or not the pay-by-phone tech-nology would be included in themeter upgrades.

City Council is still decidingif therewouldbemeters that ac-ceptcreditcards infrontofeachspace or if it would be a morecentralized meter to cover ahandful of parking spaces,Mur-ray said. “It is certainly easierwith themeter in frontof thecar

… but those can get damaged orvandalized,” she said, addingthat it’s easier and cheaper tomake changes to centralizedmeters.

MADISONVILLE — Garden-ing enthusiasts, break out yourtrowel.

A project called “500 Gar-dens” is underway inMadison-ville.

“If you have dirt, sun andwater, you can grow a garden,”saidKarenZanger, coordinatorof 500 Gardens.

The 500 Gardens project isbeing spearheaded by Sides-treams, a nonprofit organiza-tion focused on urban agricul-ture.

Zanger said the project isgeared toward providing foodin an area where residents donot have access to a grocerystore with a wide range ofitems.Theseareasareoftenre-ferred to as “food deserts” be-cause of the lack of availablefood options.

“Our goal is to increase ac-cess to healthy foods and im-prove the health of Madison-ville residents,” said SaraSheets, executive director ofthe Madisonville CommunityUrban Redevelopment Corp.

The Redevelopment Corp.has partnered with Sides-treams in coordinating the pro-ject.

The 500 Gardens project isnamedforhowmanygardensitis hoped will eventually be de-veloped in the community bythe spring.

The cost is $50 and includesseeds, soil, a garden bed and

training. Participants will alsoreceive assistance in the formof a mentor.

Zangersaidpeoplefromanyneighborhood can serve as amentor.

All that is asked is that the

mentor have a couple of yearsof gardening experience, shesaid. “Wewantpeople tobesuc-cessful at getting food theirfirst year.”

Cheryl Worrell, a communi-ty engagement coordinator for

the Urban RedevelopmentCorp., is excited by the project.

“It’s an opportunity for sen-iors and youth to become en-gaged,” she said, adding that itwill also get people sharing sto-ries about their produce.

Zanger said she hopes theprojectwillprovideamodelforother communities to emulate.

Mariemont policehave identified andtalkedtoasuspiciousper-son who was recentlyseen lurking around Ma-riemont Elementary.

Officers have con-firmed he is no longer intheareaandresides inan-other state, an alert fromthe department said.

Police in Fairfax, Ma-riemont and TerracePark had stepped up pa-trols after a white man inhis late 30s or early 40swith heavy tattoos wasseen driving an oldermodel green SUV or van

around the Wooster Pikeschool a few times overthe past month.

Hepulledupalongsidea girl walking home fromclass about 3 p.m. on Jan.24 and, last week, stu-dents playing on a junglegym on the schoolgrounds during a calami-tydaynoticed thedistinc-tive vehicle in the park-ing lot. That incident oc-curred at 3 p.m. eitherFeb.11or Feb.12, a policereport shows.

The department dis-cussed the incidents withthe Hamilton County

Prosecutor’s Office,which determined, withthe information providednone of the actions rise tothe level ofcriminalpros-ecution, according to thealert.

Police Chief RickHines said Feb. 14, short-ly after the initial alertsent to the community,that the January incidentwas not reported to Ma-riemont police until Feb.7. He was not sure whythere was a delay.

“If you see someonesuspiciousorasuspiciousvehicle, call 911 immedi-

ately, not the next day orseveral hours later. Timeis crucial,” he said. “Giveus as much informationas possible. A licenseplate is invaluable tous.Alicense plate number ishuge.”

In the January inci-dent, the man did not tryto lurethegirl intohiscar,police said.

“The only things hesaid was he asked if shewas walking to school byherself or something ofthat nature,” Hines said.“It’s just a very suspi-cious situation.”

Police find man reportedly lurking around schools

ment, understaffed en-forcement and outdatedtechnology. Because ofthat, the city misses outon almost $9 million inrevenue a year.

Cranley is calling forthe city to triple its num-ber of enforcement offi-cers, and the new plancalls for the city to make$6.2 million in net reve-nue in 2015. That wouldincrease to $7.4 millionby 2019.

While the extra reve-nue is good, Mt. LookoutCommunity Councilboard member BrianSpitler said thecityneedsto fix the meter problem,which have created is-sues in the Mt. Lookoutbusiness district.

Spitler said he’s heardfrom local shop ownersthat some “customershave quit coming be-

the intersection of Deltaand Linwood avenues,but it “has been sporadicin its operability.”

He also asked, if themeters are modernizedand the city can trackrevenue, could that reve-nue could come back tothe neighborhoods?

That way, Flammesaid, business districts orcommunity councilscould use the extra mon-

ey for capital improve-ments, landscaping orother projects.

That idea hasn’t beendiscussed, Murray said,but part of the push be-hindthenewparkingplanis boosting city revenue.“We need to balance thebudget and generalfund,”shesaid. “Ifwecando that, then neighbor-hoodfundsaren’tgoingtoget cut and maybe couldgrow in the future.”

The city’s meters arepaid on average only 29percent of the time be-cause of broken equip-

cause they’ve had suchdisasters with the metersituation.”

Murray, who lives inHyde Park, said shehopes the new parkingplan helps because “weneed to dowhat we can tokeep people coming toour neighborhoods.”

Not all city leaders areon board with the plan,and CouncilwomanYvette Simpson andCouncilman WendellYoung were the mainvoices of dissension theday Cranley unveiled hisplan. The city might bemissing out on an oppor-tunity with the $85 mil-lion up-front paymentthat the port authoritylease deal offered, Youngsaid.

Reporters Cindi Andrewsand Jason Williams

PARKING PLANThere are many pieces in Mayor John Cranley’s new

proposal for the city of Cincinnati’s parking meters andgarages. Here are some highlights:» Newmeter hours in Downtown would be 8 a.m. to 9

p.m. Monday through Saturday. Currently, meters areenforced from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the same days.»Meter hours also would extend until 9 p.m. from 5

p.m. in Over-the-Rhine.» Outside of Downtown and Over-the-Rhine, neigh-

borhood meter hours would remain being enforced until6 p.m.» The city would purchase 3,618 new parking meters

that accept credit cards. The city will continue to use the1,431meters that already accept credit cards.

» The Downtown meter rate would remain at $2 perhour for at least the first five years of the new plan.» The city’s meter rate in all other neighborhoods

would increase from 50 cents to 75 cents per hour by Oct.31 and remain there.» Parking tickets would remain $45 for at least five

years.»Meters on Sunday would remain free.» Garage parking rates would remain unchanged for

the first five years.» The city could borrow up to $30 million in revenue

bonds to pay for new meters and garage upgrades. Thebonds would be issued by the port authority.» The port authority would take control of the Foun-

tain Square South garage. Cranley said that could gener-ate up to $500,000 a year for the authority, which hasbeen looking for additional revenue streams to pay forjobs-creating projects.

Do you eat gluten-freemeals?

“It turns out it’s a reallyhealthy way of living,”says Delhi Township Gio-vanna Delli CarpiniTrimpe, author of the reci-pe book “Holy Chow Glu-

ten Free.”What’s the key? “Fresh

products,” she explains,not processed. “And thereare a lot of products thatsay gluten-free already.”

Trimpe’s new bookshowcases a collection ofher gluten-free recipes, aswell as a few from familyand friends. “This is regu-lar, everyday food,” she

points out.The chef for the St. Pe-

ter in Chains Cathedraldowntown Cincinnati be-gan working on the reci-pes nearly five years agowhen she was asked tocook for Cincinnati Arch-bishopDennisM. Schnurr.

“They gave me thisfolder, like four or fivepages, of what he could

have and couldn’t have,”she recalls. “And I wasstressed out.”

Shestartedreadingandlearned about the allergythe archbishop suffersfrom, called celiac dis-ease. She revamped herrecipes, then surprisedhim.

“One night I made spa-ghetti and meatballs,” she

says. “He lookedatmeandsaid, ‘I can’t have that.’ Isaid, ‘Yes you can.’”

How did she do it?“There’s really good glu-ten-free pasta out there,”sheexplains. “I got gluten-free bread and turned itinto breadcrumbs, andthen used it in the meat-balls.

“He couldn’t believethat he was eating the en-tire plate.”

Schnurr repaid herwith a testimonial in herbook.

“Giovanna has servedour guests with deliciousmeals while at the sametime being ‘safe’ for me,”he wrote.

Trimpe was born inVenezuela to Italian par-ents. When she was 8years old her mother tookher back to Italy so shewouldknowherancestors.They livedwithhergrand-motherfor threeyears inasmall town, Gallo Matese.

“It was so rustic,” shesays, describing hergrandmother’s home. Andtherewassomethingmiss-ing. “I asked, ‘Where’s thestove?’ She said, ‘We don’thave one.’

“They had a wood-burning oven,” she ex-plains, made of brick andbuilt into the wall.

Cooking was an all-daychore. “By the time youfinished breakfast, it wastime for lunch, and thendinner.”

But she had no com-plaints. “Oh, I loved it!”

“You can take justabout any recipe,” Trimpewrites, “and turn it into agluten-free recipewithoutyour family and friendsever knowing the differ-ence.”

SaintUrsulaAcademybiolo-gy teacher Jennifer Broo isabout to get national attentionfor her development of a newcurriculum on cancer.

Broo is not only encouragingher students, but she is leadingbyexampleas she“buildsabet-ter world” through her devel-opment of a high school biologycurriculum focusing on cancercells.

Broo is constantly on thelookout for new ways to bringbiology to life for her students.Several years ago she noticedthe lack of information in biolo-gy textbooks concerning can-cer, a disease that definitelyhas an emotional connection tomost of her students who haveknown, or will know, someonewith cancer. “Even though can-cer cells are very complex,they are a very basic exampleof the cell cycle and cell muta-tions.”

And so began the develop-ment of “The War of the 21stCentury: The Cell Cycle, Can-

cer, and Clinical Trials”, a cur-riculum that Broo co-authoredwith Jessica Mahoney, a biolo-gy teacher from Orlando.

The two teachers received agrant from the National Insti-tutes of Health to work in theUniversity of Florida researchlabs to develop hands-on activ-ities to teach high school stu-dents about cancer, from onsetto clinical trials.

Throughout the two-weekunit, students are challenged tothinkaboutcancer inaway thatit relates to a cell cycle. Thestudents examine cell struc-ture and mutations of cells andbegin to learn about how can-cer cells grow and divide, andhow chemotherapy drugs af-fect a cell’s growth.

They learn about the historyof cancer and begin to evaluatewhy certain lifestyle choicesincrease the risk of cancercells developing.

In the end, students begin tounderstand the multiple play-ers in the cancer industry; pa-

tients and doctors, as well asclinical researchers, drugcom-panies, and scientists. They areexposed to clinical trials in ourarea andbegin to lookcritically

at whether or not they wouldparticipate in a trial based on ahypothetical diagnosis.

“This is heavy-duty biolo-gy,” said Broo. “But my stu-

dents are really interested be-cause theycan relate.Cancer issuchacommondiseaseand thisvery basic knowledge can givethe girls more informationabout cancer cells, doctors, andclinical trials. Most important-ly, I hope the girls realize thatbiology is so important to theirlives. It’s everywhere, includ-ing in a cancer diagnosis.”

Broo’s curriculum hasgained national attention andpresented her curriculum atthe National Association of Bi-ology Teacher’s Conference(NABT) in Atlanta at the end ofNovember. She is excited thather published work will be dis-tributed to other biology teach-ers for use in their classroomsall over the United States.

She hopes her curriculumwill inspire others to join thefight against cancer and knowsthat inspiration beginswith theteachers charged with educat-ing the future doctors, re-searchers, and scientists in ourhigh schools today.

Teacher develops cancer curriculum

St. Ursula Academy sophomores Gracie Ehmann of Anderson Townshipand Maeve McCloy of Hyde Park perform an IC50 experiment as theylearn about cancer cells and cell mutations.

Superintendent Steve Es-tepp recently showcased thepriorities and accomplish-ments for theMariemontCitySchool District at the dis-trict’s fourth annual State oftheSchoolsAddress atMarie-mont Junior High School.

Key priorities for the dis-trict are to continue conser-vative fiscal managementwhile ensuring excellence inevery area of the school sys-tem.

“Our schools are not aboutbusiness as usual, either fi-nancially and academically,”said Estepp. “We are entre-preneurs and leaders. Ourcommunity is one that placesahighvalue oneducation, andwe believe that we must al-ways look to the future to beprepared for the next phaseof our educational journey.”

Financially, Mariemonthas earned many awards andindustry recognition. Mostrecently, Estepp said that thedistrict earned one of thehighest ratings from Stan-dard&Poor’swithanAA+rat-ing and has countered signifi-cant losses in state fundingwith corresponding efficien-cies.

Estepp also noted that thedistrict’s much-needed newand renovated energy effi-cient buildings will provideexpected relief to the opera-tional costs.

“We now have 21st centurybuildings that allow us to of-fer a state-of-the-art educa-tion for our students. Thesebuildings are safe, and theyare equipped with moderntechnology, helping us keepour district students compet-itive with their peers aroundthe globe.

“Our new buildings arealso bringing increased effi-ciencies and fewer mainte-nance costs, and they matchthe excellence in teachingthat is happening in ourschools,” said Estepp.

Estepp also spoke to thesignificant academic accom-plishments of the schools. Toensure continued highachievement, the district willlaunch Destination 2026 thisyear, which is an initiative

that looks to the graduatingclass of 2026 and retools edu-cation and technology tomeettheneedsof these students to-day.

“We have a tremendousstory to tell and one that isworth celebrating,” said Es-tepp. “Our ‘It’s About MEvideo showcases real stu-dents and community mem-bers reflecting on the tradi-tion, community and innova-tion that makes involvementin our schools amarked expe-rience for everyone. Eachperson has a unique storyabout his or her own Marie-mont Experience that con-tributes to the strong collec-tive storywe sharewithin ourdistrict.”

The “It’s About ME” videois available on the district’swebsite, www.mariemont-schools.org, today. The ad-dress also contained perfor-mances by the kindergartenclass as well as the Marie-mont High School chamberensemble.

WALNUT HILLS — Their tour-nament runended indisappoint-ing fashion, but Walnut HillsHigh School’s girls basketballprogram has plenty to look for-ward to following a champion-ship season.

The Eagles won the EasternCincinnatiConference titlewitha 17-6 (11-1), clinching in thrill-ing fashion with an overtimewin at Milford in the regularseason finale behind TaylorDarks’s 31 points. Most excitingfor theprogramis thefact that itwill not lose any seniors to grad-uation.

“We won’t just have the en-tire roster back, we will be im-proved with a very impressiveincoming freshmanclass,” headcoach Keith Gwynn said. “Oneof our weaknesses was a lack ofdepth, most of the season weplayed six players. With the im-provement of those players thatplayed JV minutes and ourfreshmanclasswewill begreat-ly improved.”

Gwynn already is excitedlyplanning ahead for next year.He expects Darks, a junior, andArielle Varner, a sophomore, tocontinue their improvement.Darks led the ECC in scoringand was fifth in rebounding;Varnerwas third in the league inscoring and second in rebound-ing behind teammate and class-mate Amber Wilks. Gwynn hasbig expectations for next year’sjunior class.

“This offseason we arecounting on Amber Wilks and

Dawn Alexander to make bigleaps,” said Gwynn. “Both hav-ing themakings tohaveabreak-out year next year.”

The season ended earlierthan many expected, when theEagles were bounced by Ursu-line in the opening game of thesectional tournament. Itwas theteam’s second loss to Ursulinethis season. The final loss onlyputs amild damper on an other-wise overwhelmingly positiveseason.

“It’s always difficult to ac-cept finishing your season on aloss, especially in the firstround. With a young team thatisn’t used to winning and learn-inghow towin,weplayedbetterthan I expected,” said Gwynn.“However, there are so manypositives todrawfromthisyear.We definitely went into the sea-son expecting to win the ECCchampionship and that’s going

to be our mentality every yearthat we’re in the league.”

The Eagles entered this sea-soncomingoffofa losingseasonand with a young squad. WalnutHills was able to surprise ECCopponents with its perfor-mance. Next year, that will beimpossible. Everyone in theleague will be trying to unseatthe Eagles from the top.

“I believe anytime you winthe conference championship,there’s a bull’s-eye on your backso it will be tough,” saidGwynn.“However, I still believe thatwe’rethebest teamintheleagueand have the personnel to go

back-to-back conference cham-pions.”

This year’s group found suc-cess because the players com-mitted to playing selfless bas-ketball.Fiveof thesixplayers inthe rotation averaged over 1.4assists per game, led by Darkswith 2.1.

“The fact that they practicedand played like a team was ahuge improvement from lastyear’s ‘every girl for herself’mentality,” said Gwynn. “Wewill continue to build our chem-istry.”

Next year, the Eagleswant tocome out evenmore aggressive

and assert their will against op-ponents. Too often this season,they started slow before rally-ing late. Next year, with a moreexperienced and deeper roster,theEaglesknowthat theyhaveagreat chance to be even betterand make a much deeper tour-nament run.

“Wecan’twaituntilourbacksare against the wall to playWal-nut Hills basketball. We have tocome out swinging and land thefirst blow,” said Gwynn. “If wecan carry those lessons overinto this summer and makethem second nature next year,we will be a very special team.”

A program that rarelygets to play the role of un-derdog is enjoying its runas spoiler this year.

Moeller High School’shockey team battled inju-ry, illness, and its typicalgrueling schedule duringthe regular season, win-ningjusteightgames.TheCrusaders entered thepostseason with a recordof 8-15-4. Then, they tookoff.

“Weknewwehad some

young guys and that weplay in a pretty toughleague,” said Moellerhead coach Mike Reeder.“Our guys had plenty ofopportunities to quit, butthat’s not in their vocabu-lary. They have a will toplay and a will to keepfighting.”

Moeller outscored itsfirst two tournament op-ponents, Thomas Wor-thingtonandColumbusSt.Francis DeSales, by acombined score of 15-4,setting up a showdownwith top-seeded Colum-bus St. Charles in roundthree. On Feb. 22 at theDispatch Ice Haus at Na-tionwide Arena in Colum-bus, the longtime rivalssquared off for the fifthtime in the past two sea-sons. Last season, the two

rivals played three close-ly contested games, in-cluding Moeller’s 2-1 dou-ble overtime tournamentwin that ended the Cardi-nals’ 2013 season.

“We’ve always had afierce, competitive rival-ry with one another,”Reedersaid. “Bottomline,you know it’s going to be agoodgamewhenweplay.”

Earlier this year, theCardinals soundly defeat-ed the Crusaders, 5-1.Moeller entered the re-match playing its besthockey of the season, andwith an added edge ofswagger that was lackingin the first meeting. Theodds were against them,but the Crusaders knewwhat they had do to tryand pull off the upset.

“It’s going to be super

challenge.Wehavetoplaywith tremendous braveryand courage,” said Reed-er before the Feb. 22

matchup. “We’renotnear-lyas tightaswe’vebeen inthe past. We’re loose,we’re mentally prepared.There’s not nearly asmuch pressure on us asthere will be on them.”

Roles reversed in 2014,as theCrusadersbowed toColumbus St. Charles 8-1Feb. 22 to end the season.

Senior Alex Armour isthe heart of this team.Reeder calls him the “hubof our hustle.” He sets thetone and the tempo as themost experienced Cru-sader on the ice.

Let IRS know that new rules unacceptableUnfortunately, Cincinnati

has blotted its copybook again.The discriminatory targetingof conservative 501(c)(4)groups that began here in Cin-cinnati is taking a turn for theworse.

The IRS recently proposednew regulations that will fur-ther stifle political speech andmake it more difficult for citi-zen-led groups and associationsto form. These new rules singleout 501(c)(4) tax-exempt or-

ganizations forspecial treat-ment.

Unlike othertax-exemptgroups underSection 501(c)of the InternalRevenue Code,such as unions,business tradegroups andcharities,

501(c)(4) organizations will now

have to count normal grass-roots political involvement as“candidate-related politicalactivity.”

This will restrict their abil-ity to undertake non-partisanvoter registration drives, hostforums or debates for candi-dates for public office, publishvoter guides and incumbentvoting records, and evenmakenegative comments about can-didates to the media right be-fore elections.

Consequently, nonprofitgrassroots organizations likefreedom and liberty groupswill have their activities andspeech restricted while unionsand business trade groups willnot.

These rules are wholly inap-propriate for a free people witha Constitutionally limited gov-ernment. I will be contactingmy congressman and urginghim to oppose these toxic rules.I encourage my fellow citizens

to do the same.There is also a comment

period at the IRS for theserules that ends on Feb. 27. AllAmericans – regardless of theirpolitical associations –shouldtake this opportunity to let theIRS know that these proposedregulations are completelyunacceptable. It’s easy….th-ey’re just around the corner.

BillDamseyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionDo you agree with premise

of Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., law-suit that the Obama admini-stration is violating the FourthAmendment by the NationalSecurity Agency (NSA) collect-ing Americans’ phone metada-ta and requesting a ruling thatwould halt the program andpurge all previously collecteddata from government data-bases? Why or why not?

“Rand Paul is a pure dema-gogue. He knows less aboutthe Constitution than a highschool student.

“The issue is one of provid-ing security for the country.People believe that their tele-phone conversations are be-ing monitored. How unin-formed they are.

“Rational statements arenot the stock of Doctor Paul.For an eye doctor he hasmyo-pic vision. Amale version of aformer Alaskan governor.

“He should stay withmedi-cine where he might havesome knowledge. His knowl-edgeof the law isbaseduponadesire to disparage the presi-dent who is also a Constitu-tional lawyer.

“Doctor Paul is out of hisleague. Sensationalism is histrademark.”

J.S.D.

“Of course, Rand Paul'slawsuit is ridiculous.He's justtesting the waters to get mo-mentum from the tea partyand right-wing bigots for hispotential run for president in2016.

“Did he complain aboutthis snooping when the Bushadministration was doing itafter 9-11? Doing it now andnot then makes this look kindof fishy.

“If amoderate,more sensi-ble conservative were mak-ing this suit, it might be seri-ous — but Rand Paul is nei-ther.

“And he'll never get elect-ed in 2016.”

TRog

“Leaning yes. Our nation isrunundermuchfalsepremiseon all levels, proven by the ly-ing president and his staffthatwill neverbeheld respon-sible for their actions...if yourDad was a liar and you knewit, lying must be OK. If yourDad stole all his employees in-formation, it must be OK.

“Taking these records isobscene to many Americansof proper conscience, and li-ars can't be trusted with suchinformation. What kind ofleader allows his subjects tobe flogged in this way?”

K.P.

“Yes, I agree with SenatorPaul. What the NSA is doingviolates the 4th Amendment

rights of every person inAmerica with a phone. Onewarrant can not be used tocover every person with aphone in America.

“President Obama promis-ed us ‘the most transparentadministration in history,’ butall we've seen is scandal, lieand cover up after scandal, lieand cover up.

“How many more of ourconstitutional rights is Oba-ma going to destroy beforehe's held accountable?”

J.S.K.

“Dowe really think just be-cause they say we won't do itany more they are going to doit any less. I don't know I don'thave anything to hide.”

P.R.

“I can't believe this old left-winger finally can agree onsomething that extremeright-winger has to say.Whilethegovernmentmight need toaccess some of the info it iscollecting, it shouldbe only ona basis of need for national se-curity and then onlywithwar-rants.

“None of this carte blanchec--p that they do now. I doubtthat there is presently muchabuse of the gathered info asyet but it certainly has the po-tential for it.

“Create the right programand all that data can and prob-ably will be used against us.Can you imagine if Nixon andJ. Edgar had this stuff and theability to use it?

“Heck, a lot of us wouldhave been rounded for nation-al defense issues just becausewe didn't like bombing Cam-bodia or thought that peopleof color should have the unim-peded right to vote.

Sorry, I digress. I knowthat many of you will say ‘sowhat, I got nothing to hide,’but every time a legitimatefreedom, such as right to pri-vacy, is broached for one it isbroached for all.

“What may seem benignnow can turn very malignantwithout the oversight of thepeople.”

J.Z.

“I think Rand Paul is despi-cable. I would not agree withanything that comes out of hismouth.”

E.E.C.

“It is fascinating to watchthe Republicans pervert theirown themes in order to makewhat sounds to them like agood whack at Obama orwhichever other ‘enemy’ theyare after that particular day.

“Any other time in the last70years it would be just finewith them to limit public lib-erties for the sake of ‘securi-ty.’ I'm not impressed thatRandPaul'sbrandof ‘libertar-ian,’ right-wing goofiness isany different from the rest ofthat crowd. It's just plain oldright-wing goofiness with earmuffs and tap shoes.”

I'm inclined to support pri-vacy, and I don't think there isany evidence that theNSAda-ta collection has led to anycrimesbeingprevented, but itis pretty innocuous comparedto the face recognition soft-ware being used in liquorstores or what we all have togo through in order to take anairplane these days.

“If I thought there was anelement of reasonable discus-sion, and not just politicalmudslinging behind this flap,I would pay more attention toit.”

N.F.“BeforeEdwardSnowden I

would have been on the fence.After Snowden’s infamousleaks to theworld, it is evidentthat, forwhatever supposedlygood reasons our governmentprovides, that governmentcannot safeguard themassiveamounts of information it col-lects on friend and foe alike.

“Simply put, I do not trustthe government. I especiallydo not trust it to protect myprivacy.”

BUSINESS NOTES

Flynn

It was a week of “lastofs.” We split and stackedthe last of our wood

(check outour smil-ing photoson myblog) andwe had ourlast sledride of theyear. SonJasonvideoed itnot just forfun, but, as

he said, “to have evi-dence that you, mom,actually made it down thehill.” Well, I not onlymade it down the hill butI went farther than anyof the kids. So there. Ialso used the last of ourgarden butternut squashto make a nice pasta dish,which I’m sharing today.All these “last ofs” re-mind me that spring isnot far away.

Pasta withbutternut squashand sage

This is a real im-promptu, go to taste reci-pe. The original calledfor fresh sage and I onlyhad dried frommy herbgarden. Unless you addred pepper flakes, don’tlook for a lot of spice inthis dish, just a nice,mellow flavor.

1butternut squash, about 3pounds, peeled andchopped into 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 large red onion, coarselychopped

Olive oil8 oz. whole wheat shortpasta

4 tablespoons butter orolive oil

Dry or fresh sage leaves(start with 1 teaspoon dryor 6 fresh, chopped and gofrom there)

2-3 teaspoons minced garlicSalt and pepper (I added abit of crushed red pepperflakes at the end)

Parmesan for garnish

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Mix squash,onion, salt and pepper,and enough olive oil tocoat. Place in single layeron pan and roast about30-40 minutes, untilsquash is tender andlightly browned, turninghalfway through. Cookpasta. Cook butter, sageand garlic until garlic isgolden. Add squash mix-ture, and pasta (I didn’tadd all the pasta at once)to taste. Add more sage ifyou like. Add red pepperflakes if you want. Sprin-kle with cheese. Serves3-4.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Easy-to-peel wintersquash/pumpkins: Worthsharing again. Poke holes

all over with fork. Put inmicrowave on high for afewminutes. This softensthe skin. Remove withmitts. Let cool and peel.

You know what? Thesquash/onion mixture isso good on its own that itwould make a great sidedish.

Homemadehoney-lemon coughsyrup

Ever since I talkedabout this on RonWil-son’s gardening show,I’ve had requests toshare. Good for sorethroat coughs and justabout anything upper

respiratory that ails you.Raw honey is what Irecommend for its antibi-otic properties, healthyenzymes and other goodnutrients. Check out myblog for more healthqualities of lemon andhoney, photos and a hon-ey poultice recipe. Here’show I make the coughsyrup:

Roll a washed lemonaround (organic pre-ferred) on counter, put-ting pressure on it withyour hand to help releasethe juices and breakdown cell structure. Cutin chunks and pour honeyover to cover. Smoosh alldown with a spoon. Let

sit in refrigerator a cou-ple of days before using.Store in refrigerator.Take a teaspoonful asneeded, several times aday if necessary.

More goetta storiesThey keep coming in!Mueller family goetta.

Joyce Mueller’s familymakes goetta at Christ-mas as a gift to them-selves. She said: “Ourfamily uses pork andveal. We put the meat in apot; add water, onion,

celery (the leafy part),carrots, pickling spice,bay leaf, allspice andbouillon and cook like astock. After simmeringfor about an hour, wegrind the meat, reservethe water into which weplace the ground meat, alittle barley then stir inquick oats until one can’tadd any more oats. Placein the bread loaf pans.We fry in a cast ironskillet.”

Carol’s vegetariangoetta. Reader Sandi W.loved Carol’s goetta andwanted to know if it canbe frozen. Hopefully,reader Julie Bruns, whoshared the recipe, will letus know.
