It may be Taps for North-west’s Naval Junior ROTC pro-gram, but the unit’s not goingdown without a fight.
The program is offeredthrough the Northwest LocalSchoolDistrict’svocationalpro-gram,which is nowprovided byButler Tech. Students said theywere notified on Feb. 14 thatButler Tech did not intend to of-fer the program for the nextschool year.
The Northwest district hasoffered the ROTC program for18 years according to the pro-gram’s lead instructor, ChiefLarry Gipson. The NJROTC isconducted for high school stu-dents and is and taught by in-structors who are retired Navy,Marine Corps, and Coast Guardofficers and enlisted personnel.Its curriculum emphasizes citi-zenshipand leadershipdevelop-ment, as well as naval historyand topics such as the funda-mentals of naval operations,seamanship,navigationandme-teorology.
The program also offers ex-tracurricular activities such as,
community service, academic,athletic, drill and orienteeringcompetitions, field meets,flights, visits to naval or otheractivities, marksmanshipsports training and physical fit-ness training.
The program has about 60students, but that’s not enough.The Navy wants at least 10 per-centofNorthwestHighSchool’senrollment, or 100 students,whichever is lower. The pro-gram is on probation with theNavy because of the low enroll-ment, according to Gipson, buthe says that hashappened in thepast.
“Our numbers fluctuate,” hesaid.
He said Butler Tech officialswant the program numbershigher than Naval require-ments.
Students asked the schoolboard to intervene and continueto offer the program. They saythe program didn’t have a fairchance to recruit, leading todwindling numbers.
“It’s more than the militaryaspect,” Lt. Jessica McCluresaid. “It’s a leadershipprogram.We love this and we don’t wantto lose it.Wewant tofinish itout.
We want the chance to make itgo.”
It wasn’t just students whoasked the board to continue theprogram.ChristiTolbert,whosedaughter Desirae Pagan is nowin the Marine Corps at CampPendleton, Calif., told the boardthe program is worth keeping.
“This program turned thesekids’ lives around,” she said. “Itmade them go from possiblehigh school dropouts to honorstudents. The structure and dis-cipline was what they needed.”
Board members directedNorthwest Superintendent An-drew Jackson to talk with But-ler Tech. Under the district’sagreement with Butler Tech,the vocational program is sup-posed to conferwith the districtbefore dropping a program;that didn’t happen in this case.If a program drops below a cer-tain level, Butler Tech can dropit, but the district can force theprogram to continue if the dis-trict pays the cost.
Jacksonsaid itwouldcost thedistrict about $116,000 to offerthe program outside the agree-ment with Butler Tech.
He planned to talk with But-lerTechofficials and saidheex-
pected the issue will come backto the board of education inApril.
“Thebottomline is I thinkwewould like to allow our juniorsto complete the program, and
we want our freshmen to getthat second year, since it satis-fies their physical education re-quirement,” Jackson said. “Be-yond that, I think it will be up toButler Tech.”

The Knights want to rehabtheir castle.
Northwest High School willkick off the largest fundraisingcampaign in theschool’shistoryas officials, coaches, boostersand other supporters work toraise$900,000over fiveyears toinstall artificial turf on theschool’s football field and im-prove the stadium and otherathletic venues at the highschool.
The goal is to combine fund-ing from a partnership with UCHealth, grant money, sponsor-ships and pledges to raise themoney needed. The $200,000UC Health money is part of the$900,000 to be raised. North-west Athletic Director Joe Pol-litt said some of the UC HealthMoney could be seed money toget other grants.
The centerpiece of the planis the installation of a syntheticplaying field and visitor’sbleachers in the NorthwestHigh School Stadium. The planalso includes upgrades toNorthwest’s facilities for base-ball, softball, tennis, wrestingand track.
Taxdollarswillbenotused tobuy or install the artificial turf.The plan calls for tax money to
pay for some improvements tothetenniscourtsandtrackfromthe permanent improvementfund, as those areas are used byphysical education classes andthe public.
Pollitt told the NorthwestBoard of Education his teamfeels the time is ripe for thisproject. He said NorthwestBooster revenues have beengrowing for the past five years,as has community support forNorthwest sports programs.Therehasbeenanuptick ingaterevenue and a stronger alumnipresence as the NorthwestAlumni Association is alsogrowing.
Pollitt said the profits justfrom the football gate have ris-en about 40 percent over thepast five years.
The facilities are ripe for theupgrade. Pollitt said becausepractice and competition fields
are in high demand, they areoverused and do not have timeto recover from use and weath-er.
“One heavy rain in the fallcan prompt cancellations oreven ruin the field for the re-mainder of the season by mak-ing it unsafe,” he told boardmembers.
The athletic director said it’snot just football thatwill benefitfrom artificial turf in the stadi-um.
“Soccer, band, baseball, soft-ball, track and field and physi-cal education will all directlybenefit and thiswouldmake thestadium available year-round,”he said.
The synthetic field would al-low more practice and condi-tioning for all sports, Pollittsaid.He told the board artificialturf could allow Pleasant Run
Middle School to play theirhome games atNorthwestHighSchool. The Northwest March-ing Knights would also be ableto practice more frequently,and the high school might beable to host a band competition.
He added that there are sig-nificant economic benefits forthe district and the NorthwestBoosters that comewith the up-grade. He said reducedmainte-nance costs allow for a realloca-tion of resources, facility rent-als can generate additional in-come, and he expects to see anincrease in concession revenueas a result of additional eventsin the stadium.
Pollitt estimated that the turfinstallation will cost about$600,000 if there no surprisesduring the project.
Board President Dan Ungersaid the project is ambitious,
and wished Pollitt success.Board member ChristopherHeather asked if Northwest in-tended to follow the same proc-ess as Colerain High School,which was to raise money, andthen secure a note so the fieldproject could start quickly. Pol-litt confirmed that was the like-ly path.
The athletic director said hehas been in communicationwith the team that fund-raisedfor the Colerain turf project,and received what he calledvaluable information that hehopes will insure Northwest’sproject goes smoothly. He saidthe teamishopefulanotecanbesecured.
“Optimistically, we are hop-ing the turf will be ready in Au-gust of 2015,” he said.

As a result, schools wish-ing to perform “DeadMan Walking” must alsoinvolve at least two otheracademic departments toprovide courses relatedto the death penalty and“Dead Man Walking.”
“Not only is this a col-laboration amongstschools in Cincinnati, butwe’ve extended this be-yond the theater,” saidBodollo, who has beenworking on the details ofthe Cincinnati premierperformance since lastspring.ShemetwithMer-cy’s English, religion andsocial studies depart-ment chairs, along withElizabeth Barkley, chairof the English depart-ment at The College ofMount St. Joseph, andSister Nancy Bramlage,director of mission andministry at the Mount,last summer to deter-mineways to incorporatethe issue of capital pun-ishment into the academ-ic curriculum throughthe school year.

Students at Mother ofMercy andMcAuley highschoolshavehadauniqueopportunity to wrestlewith the issue of thedeath penalty during thisschool year. It culminatesthis month with a perfor-mance of the powerful“Dead Man Walking.”
Studentswill also havethe chance to hear SisterHelen Prejean, the au-thor of “Dead Man Walk-ing: An Eyewitness Ac-count of the Death Penal-ty in the United States,”the book on which the
play is based, talk abouther experiences.
Mother of MercyTheatre Director LisaBodollo initiated the col-laboration through theDead Man WalkingSchool Theatre Project.
The project repre-sents the efforts of Sr.Helen and Tim Robbins,director of the film adap-tation of her book and thestage play. Robbins de-cided to use the play as atool to create deeper re-flection on the death pen-alty in our nation’s highschools and colleges, ac-cording toMercy spokes-woman Jenny Jackson.

Mercy senior DanielleDiersing, who portraysPrejean in the play, saidthe discussions and pre-paring for the play has,deepened her faith.
“It has showedme thatanything is possible withGod,” she said. “Whenyou meet obstacles, youcan’t just back down. Youcan’t give up.”
At the end of the se-mester, students present-ed to their classmates vi-sual representations ofthe aspects of capitalpunishment that had thebiggest impact on them.
There have also beenposter contests, and awriting contest sur-rounding the issue andthe vocal ensembles ofbothMercy andMcAuleywill perform in additionto dancers from bothschools. The music anddance help project theemotions surroundingthe issue of capital pun-ishment as the story ofone death row inmate un-folds. Krista Reiff, aMcAuley junior dancingin theplay said shewasn’tsure how it was going towork, but she feels itbrings out the anger,frustration and sorrow ina different way.
“This project has cre-ated an incredible oppor-tunity for students tolearn amongst theirpeers and from those out-side their regular niche,”Bodollo said. “This hasbeenanamazingopportu-nity to work with our sis-ter school, McAuley, anda college. We have devel-oped such a strong rela-tionship with the Mountover the last several
years. They’ve openedtheir theater to us for ourfall musicals and we’vebeen lucky to have thetalents of several stu-dents be part of past per-formances.”
More than 80 studentsare in the cast, includingsenior JacobHammfromthe Mount, as well as theMount’s Chief of Police,Tim Carney and historyprofessor Peter Robin-son. Additionally, almost100 students from bothMercy and McAuleymake up the technicalcrew.

GREEN TWP. — A pro-posal to develop HillviewGolf Course into a subdi-vision with more than 200
homescould rep-resent theresurgenceof GreenTownshipas a leaderin residen-tial growthin Hamil-ton County,
but to many area resi-dents raises concernsabout increased traffic.
The owners of the 18-hole golf course on Wes-selman Road have a dealtosell theproperty toade-veloper who would like tobuild roughly 240 single-family homes on the site.
Debbie Keller, wholives nearby on Wessel-man Woods Drive, saidshe is a little disappointedthe golf course is closing,but she’s not against de-velopment.
“My only concern isthe traffic on WesselmanRoad,” she said. “TheWesselman and Rybolt(Road) intersection isquite the bottleneck al-ready.Traffic in themorn-ings can be a headache.”
Keller said the existingroad system does not sup-port the existing trafficand there aremanymorn-ings she wonders if she’llever be able to make aleft-hand turn from herstreet onto Wesselman.
“With 240more homes,there are going to have tobe road improvements tosupport that,” she said.
Paula Vickery, whoalso lives on WesselmanWoods Drive, said she toois worried about moretraffic. Congestion in thearea is especially trouble-some during the morningrush hour and on Fridayevenings, she said.
“It’s a problem,” shesaid. “Somethinghas tobedone to widen the road oraddress the intersectionatRybolt if they are goingto put in more homes.”
Adam Goetzman,
Green Township’s assis-tant administrator and di-rector of planning and de-velopment, said Wessel-man is a county road andthe county engineer willstudy the impact the pro-jectwouldhaveon traffic.
He said planned im-provements to the Ryboltand Wesselman intersec-tion this summerwill alle-viate many of the trafficissues. The road work in-cludessomewidening, theaddition of four turn lanesand enhanced traffic sig-nals, he said.
Goetzman said theoverall impact of the sub-division on traffic will beminimal.
“Single-family tends tobe a relatively low trafficgenerator,” he said. “Theexisting road capacityshould be able to with-stand the additional de-velopment.”
“Thiswouldbe thefirstnew single-family subdi-vision in the township infive years,” Goetzmansaid. “It signifies a resur-gence of the market andalso, quite frankly, itshows Green Township isstill a viable single-familymarket that can com-pete.”
Good schools, a conve-nient location, new healthcare facilities andplanned new restaurantsmake the township an at-tractive community, hesaid. Plans call for single-family homes to be builton more than 101 acres.
Goetzman said the pro-posalwill requirea zoningchange. The property iszoned for a mix of single-family and multiple-fam-ily right now, and will bechanged to strictly single-family zoning for the pro-ject. He said township of-ficials will review theplans in April when theproposal goes through thezoning process at thecounty level.
Paul Macke, presidentof the family-owned golfcourse, said Joseph Allenof Development Planningapproached the golfcourse owners about ayear ago to gauge their in-terest in selling.
Macke said the last dayof golf operation is antici-pated to be April 30, andheexpects thetransactionto close by mid-May. “Wewant to give our custom-ers an opportunity tocome back out, play thegolf course a couplemoretimes, and that’s the rea-son we’re staying open,”Macke said.
He saidhis parents andhis uncle and aunt openedthe golf course more than44 years ago. Ten of hisparents’ 11 children
worked on the course.Hissiblings Joseph, AndrewandNancyremainownersof nearly 5,500-yardcourse. While Macke saidthe sale will be bitter-sweet, he takes solace inthinking about more than200 families having achance tomakememoriessimilar to his.

The Roger Bacon High School Spar-tronics robotics team placed third out of24 teams in a regional tournament at St.Xavier High School.
The teamwon four of its fivematches.Athena, this year’s robot, was expectedto pickupblocks autonomously and raisea flag with a light show and special ef-fects.
“We improved so much this year, ev-erything went better than expected dur-ing qualification matches,” said teamcaptain Jose Arreaga.
Not only do the students prepareAthena to perform in the arena, but theSpartronics are planning on heading outinto the community. Arreaga said theyplan to visit theRonaldMcDonaldHouseto spread cheer to those kids and parentsstaying there.
After the Robotics Club rebirth in2012, the teamhasaccomplisheda lot as atwo-year program. Last year, the team
placed 23rd out of 24 teams.“As a rookie squad we had little to no
experience in FTC (First TechnologyChallenge) competition. We were awareof what was expected but couldn’t graspeverything as a first-year team,” Arrea-ga said. The teams’ coaches, Paul Carh-uatanta, who is amechanical engineer atIntelligrated, and Br. Chris have beenhelpful in launching the crew to success.

“We are building on a suc-cessful inaugural year,” Wellensaid. “This year’s team isstronger and faster, and trulyunderstands the family philoso-phy that we embraced as a pro-gram. We pulled in a great
freshmen class and we’re look-ing forward to seeing the pro-gram develop during the sec-ond year.”
The Lancers open the 2014season March 24 at homeagainst the Northern KentuckyClub Team.
McAuleyRebecca Ratterman takes
over as coach at McAuley forMegan Miller, who led the Mo-hawks to a 2-15 record last sea-son. Ratterman has beenaround the program for nineyears, spending the last threeascoach of the junior varsity
team.TheMohawksareyet tohave
winning season in program his-tory, but with eight returningstarters this may be when theirfortunes turn.
“Our team this year has themost dedication I’ve seen inmynine years with the program,”Ratterman said. “They allplayed inan indoor league in theoffseason and I can really seegreat improvements in theirgame. I truly believe our teamhas the potential to have a win-ning season this year and theyare very determined to achievethat accomplishment.”
Junior Kate Calder returnsafter scoring 14 goals last sea-son and is joined on the offenseby fellow junior Jessica Ventu-ra and seniors Leah Obert andBailey Ernst.

KETTERING—BrianNeal canfinally exhale.
The Roger Bacon HighSchool boys basketball coachbegan to doubt whether hecould lead his team to the statetournament after three consec-utive defeats in the regionaltournament.
The fourth timewas a charmas his Spartans defeated Sum-mitCountryDay49-46 in theDi-vision III regional finals March15 at Kettering Fairmont HighSchool’s James S. Trent Arenato advance to the state tourna-ment for the first time sincewinning the Division II state ti-tle in 2002 over Lebron James’Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary’ssquad.
“I don’t know if I could’vetaken another (loss),” Neal saidafter the victory. “I understandthat a lot of coaches would loveto justget to thisgame–forus tobe in it four years in a row, it’s atestament towhatwe’ve built atRoger Bacon. You begin todoubt yourself; I got to be hon-est. I’m 0-3 (in regional tourna-ment games) and this one is justincredibly fulfilling to finallyget there.”
Nealwasn’t theonlyone feel-ing relieved after the win overthe Silver Knights.
“We’re finally over thehump,” senior Carlas Jacksonsaid. “We finally got over thatregionalcursewehad,so it feelsgood to finally get over thathump.”
Jackson led all scorers with21 points and was the main rea-son the Spartans were able toclimb out of an 11-point first-quarter deficit. After scoringthree points in the first quarter,the senior exploded for11 in thesecond quarter, including threethree-point buckets, as part of a16-0 Roger Bacon run givingthem a 29-22 lead at halftime.
The Spartans held the SilverKnights to just two points in thesecond quarter.
“Everybody who’s ever shota basketball knows (if) youmakea couple in a rowyou startfeeling good; you feel like youcan make them all,” Jacksonsaid, who was recently namedGreater Catholic League CoedCentral Division Athlete of theYear. “That’s really how I felt. Igot hot and just kept putting itup there.”
On a roster with nine juniorsand seniors, Jackson and histeammates didn’t panic whenfaced with the early deficit.
“We’re a real mature groupandwe’ve been here before andgotten down early, so once wesawwe were down we know it’sa 32-minute game,” the seniorsaid. “It’s a long game, we got alot of time to come back. That’swhat we did and we just keptour heads in it.”
The matchup was the thirdtime in as many years betweenthe Spartans andSilverKnightsin the regional tournament. Ba-connowholdsa2-1advantage inthe series.
The Spartans advance toplay Lima Central CatholicHigh School at 2 p.m. Friday,March 21, at Ohio State Univer-sity’s Schottenstein Center inthe state semifinals. WhileNeal’s staffwasalreadyprepar-ing for the Thunderbirds justminutes after winning a region-al title, Neal’s going to enjoybeating down the regional de-monshe’s been fighting for fouryears for at least a couple hoursbefore focusing on state.
“Ididn’thaveany time to feelanything, I was beingmobbed,”Neal said of the instant reactionafter beating Summit. “Thisconstant running into that wallthree years in a row; just the ex-uberance, words can’t even ex-press what it means to us be-cause we worked so hard to gethere.”

As a lifelong resident ofGreen Township, I have apassion for this community.This is the place in which Igrew up and plan to raise afamily of my own.
I want our township to bethe preferred choice for peo-ple to live and raise families. Iwill achieve this objectivewith four areas of focus.
»Maintain quality police,fire and EMS services: Ourcommunity deserves secureneighborhoods where resi-dents can raise their childrenand enjoy daily living. Bettersafety services will always bemy priority in Green Town-
ship.»Maintain
and/or im-prove proper-ty values: 87percent of thehomes inGreen Town-ship are owneroccupied ac-cording to the2010 census.That means
that almost every home inGreen Township is the mostimportant asset in that fam-ily’s portfolio. I will protectyour property values and tryto improve property values by
continuing to resurface resi-dential streets, supportinggood schools, and encouragingpositive commercial devel-opments.
» Stimulate economic de-velopment: We have beenextremely fortunate to haveMercy Health, Christ Hospi-tal, Children’s Hospital, andTri-Health invest millions ofdollars in new medical officebuildings and in a new state-of-the-art hospital. Theseinvestments are greater thanany other local government insouthwestern Ohio has seenover the past six years. Nowwe must continue to improve
specific major roadway in-tersections and try to attractmore desirable restaurantsand commercial establish-ments. I will work hard withthe other trustees to incentiv-ize restaurants and other busi-nesses to consider GreenTownship in their next expan-sion plans.
» Keep real estate taxeslow: Green Township alreadyhas one of the lowest “effec-tive tax rates” in HamiltonCounty (8.67 mills in 2013). Mygoal is to keep the tax ratelow. I will always thoroughlyresearch alternatives to realestate taxes and try to stop the
incessant raiding of localgovernment funds by thestate. Green Township willlose a minimum of $3 millionper year due to changes instate law that created annualreductions in local tax reve-nues.
I will work extremely hardon your behalf to ensureGreen Township continues tobe one of the best communi-ties in southwestern Ohio. Ilook forward to serving theresidents of this township.

March 12 questionDo you agreewith the tactics
recently used by Greenpeace ac-tivists at Procter & Gamble Co.headquarters inDowntownCin-cinnati? Why or why not?
“NineGreenpeace activistsgot past security at Procter &Gamble’s Cincinnati head-quarters. They then hunglargeprotestbanners fromthetwo P&G towers. They wereprotesting distribution ofpalm oil garnered at the ex-pense of rain forests in south-east Asia. I wonder how theygot off work to do this protest.
“The reality is if this actiontook place in New York Citytheywouldbehung fromthosetowers due to Terrorist con-cerns. They did not use theircollective heads on this one. Agoodadjudicationwouldbeforthem to be sentenced to wash-ingwindows on both P&G tow-ers then the new Great Amer-ican building along with theirnew-found felony record.
“Their cause may be justbut their actions were not. GoFigure!”
T.D.T.
“To me the actions ofGreenpeace puts them in thesame league as the Ku KluxKlan.”
R.V.
“I do not agree with de-struction of property withoutprovocation. The Greenpeaceorganization sometimes goestoo far in its support of the en-vironmental and animalrights' causes.
“Breaking windows or de-stroying property for the sakeof a protest just brings atten-tion by the media to the law-breakers instead of the issue.
“This was a mistake by theprotesters and allows them tobe lumped in with hippies,draft-dodgers, and othercounter-cultural groups whomost Americans don't under-stand.”
T.J.P.
“Absolutely I agree withGreenpeace activists hangingbanners at Procter & Gambleheadquarters!
“Somebody has to step for-ward tomake the world awareof rainforest and endangeredanimal destruction, and theyhave the courage and funds todo so when others do not.
“I wholeheartedly applaudtheir successfuleffort tobringthisdestructionto light,ascer-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, and no placeto store the millions of gallonsof dangerous chemicals used.
“Mountain tops disappear-ing inWestVirginia, all to feedexcessive energy demands.Coal sludge and chemicals be-ing dumped in our waterways,shutting down entire commu-nities' fresh water supplies.
“And yes, rainforestsworldwide disappearing at analarming rate. Everyoneshould make a concerted ef-fort to use less energy, as ev-ery light turned off and fur-nace turned downmakes a dif-ference.
“We have all seemed to for-get that.”
J.B.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONOhio legislators are consider-ing giving schools more dis-rection to deal with incidentssuch as students pointing theirfingers as imaginary guns, ineffect changing the current“zero tolerance” policy. Is thisa good idea? Why or why not?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Sendyour answers to [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.
» Heroin kills, needles don’tcare about the color of yourskin.
» Drug users live every-where.
» Section 8 does not meanthe residents are drug users ordealers.
» Drug users and dealers dolive inmiddle and upper classneighborhoods.
» Fingers pull triggers onguns regardless of the color ofthat finger.
» Legal guns fire the samebullets as illegal guns and thosesame bullets do not discriminate
» Your political beliefs, skincolor, age, gender, sexual ori-entation don’t matter, you stillbleed the same.
Everyone wants to blamesomeone or something. I amwriting this because of the waymy home, Colerain Township,seems to be perceived.
This apparent perception isby both township residents andsome that do not reside in Col-erain. I have heardmany termsghetto, rundown, trash, etc.When andwhere did it start?Many like to blame the emer-gence and growth of publichousing. I don’t necessarilyagree with that philosophy.
For example inmy neigh-
borhood alone,I am prettysure some ofthe subsidizedrental homesare drug-freewhile somemay not be.The same exactthing can besaid for everyother home inmy neigh-
borhood that is owner occupied.If anything, the county controlsthe appearance of subsidizedhousing better than the town-ship does for owner occupantresidents.
I am an owner occupant andthe township hasmany legalhoops to go through to enforcethe property code. An owner ofa rental property is required toundergo a thorough inspectionbefore the owner can rent theproperty through public hous-ing.
Themedia reports what theychoose to report and even thenonly the portions of the storiesthey choose or even have at thetime.More details may surfacelater but theymay not be news-worthy at the time.Meth housesand grow rooms have beenuncoveredmany times in all
parts of the tristate includingButler and Clermont County.
Some of the Butler CountySchool districts that youwouldn’t expect have amuchmore prevalent drug problemthan Northwest and Colerainhigh schools. I’m just sayingisn’t it time everyone looksforward and tries to be positiveand look for a solution and focuson the negative and run fromthe problems. I don’t have theanswers but it seems that Col-erain is on the upswing tome.Bad things are unfortunatelystill going to happen. There arepeople in this world that havebad intentions and ColerainTownship doesn’t have gates wecan lock to keep the bad guysout.
Whowants to live like thatanyway?Howwe react to theunfortunate happenings willdefine us as a community. I sawfirst-hand the extreme policepresence that responded to therecent shooting on JonroseAvenue. We are lucky to haveour own police department thatcares about our community andis able to respond and react.Hopefully the shooting will notgo unsolved.

There is an old joke amongpoliticians about a wishy-washypolitical candidate who tries tobe everything to everybody:“His idea of taking a stand onthe issues is he’s opposed tocancer.”
Over the past 18months, theViewpoints page of theNorth-west Press has become thatcandidate.
Signed letters to the editorhave become a novelty in theNorthwest Press. In the pasttwo weeks, only a single letterhas appeared.
Much of the revamped View-points page is now [email protected] week readers are invitedto respond anonymously to adesignated topic deemed to beof interest to people who workat The Community Press. If thisdoes not happen to be the topic
that trips yourtrigger thisweek, pleasestifle.
Here is a listof the fourcolumns theNorthwestPress has print-ed over the lasttwo weeks:
1. Usemusicto battle the
monotony of winter.2. Sifting throughmemories
of a long-gone sandmine.3. Experience flashback to
Cincinnati 1968 through auditorreappraisal photos.
4. New lawmay change birthparents life forever.
Every one of these columnscould have - and rightfullyshould have - been feature sto-
ries on a feature story pageinstead of parading as opinionon an opinion page.
It’s just as unethical to putfeature stories on an opinionpage as it is to out political opin-ions on a feature stories page.

MARCH 19, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE
As I write this column,I can see the field beyondour vegetable gardensowed with winter rye.After it sprouted, it
stayednestledunder ablanket ofsnow untilrecently.It lookslike a palegreencarpet.Seeingnewgrowth at
this time of year justgives me a bright outlookon my day. My cooking isstarting to reflect thechange of season, too. I’mthinking way ahead withlighter fare and fun sidesand desserts to share forspring.
AmbrosiaI can remember exact-
ly when I first tasted thisheavenly side dish thatgoes so well with Easterham. We were newlymarried and took a week-end trip to Gatlinburg.One of the restaurantsfeatured ambrosia. I hadno idea what it was but itsounded so intriguingthat I ordered it. Thewaiter explained that itwas a Southern side dishmade with fruit andcream. I was too shy toask any more about it,and when it arrived atour table I thought hebrought me somebodyelse’s dessert. Since thenI’ve made it many times.My current favorite isthis recipe that I adaptedfrom Alton Brown.
3⁄4 cup whipping cream1generous tablespoonsugar
1⁄2 cup sour cream or bitmore to taste
3 cups mini marshmallows1 cup tangerine segments,cut into halves
1 cup pineapple tidbits,drained
1 cup coconut1 cup pecans, toasted andchopped coarsely
3⁄4 to 1 cup drainedmaraschino cherry halves
Whip cream and sugaruntil soft peaks form.Blend in sour cream andthen stir in everythingelse. Chill in refrigerator
a couple hours beforeserving.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
You can subMandarinorange segments,drained, for the freshtangerines.
Donna Goulet’s 7-Upcake
I’ve had this recipe inmy file since last sum-mer fromDonna and waswaiting for the right timeto share it. Donna hashad this recipe for a longtime – she cut it out ofthe newspaper. Donnasaid: “It is delicious. A
West-sider all my lifeuntil recently we movedto Erlanger, Ky. Reallyenjoy your column andlook forward to it everyweek.” Well, Donna, Ienjoy sharing reader’srecipes and this one wasa big hit. So nice forspringtime entertaining.It stayed moist, covered,at room temperature forseveral days. The onlything I did different isthat I made a simpleglaze instead of makingthe frosting that Donnasuggests. If you makeher frosting, I wouldstore the cake in the frig.
1box (two-layer size) yellowcakemix

It’s a problem that’splagued the Tristate foryears – sewers backingup into area homes. Sev-eral years ago a federalcourt ordered the Cincin-nati Metropolitan SewerDistrict to pay to cleanup sewer back-up dam-age, but that hasn’tsolved the problem ev-erywhere.
Sewer back-ups canoccur just about every-where and they can notonly damage your base-ment, but your belong-ings as well. Unless youprotect yourself, youcould be stuck with hugeclean-up bills. That’swhat happened to KarlaKramer after a sewerback-up at her Alexan-dria home late last year.
“We came home to aweird smell and went
downstairsand no-ticed somepuddles,”Kramersaid. That’swhen Kra-mer andher hus-band, Dan-iel, found-ed their
basement was floodedwith several inches ofsewer water.
“The water was actu-ally gushing up throughthe sewer,” she said. Aplumber was soon able todetermine their sewerline to the street wasclear; it was the san-itation district’s main linethat was clogged up.“There were deep treeroots that had grownthrough the lines,” Kra-mer said.
In addition to replac-ing the tile on the base-ment floor, as well as thecarpet, the Kramers hadto replace drywall be-cause everything wasdamaged by that sewerwater. Northern Ken-tucky Sanitation DistrictNo. 1, known as SD-1,came out and fixed thesewer line but won’t pay
for the Kramers’ dam-age.
“They came out andsaid, ‘Yes, it was definite-ly their fault,’ but sincethey didn’t actually know(the blockage) was therethey were not at fault,”Kramer said. Fortunate-ly, the Kramers havesewer back-up insuranceas part of their home-owner’s coverage. Butthey only had $5,000coverage and the damageto their home and belong-ings exceeded $12,000.
SD-1Director DaveRager said that whilesuch back-up s are un-fortunate, they do hap-pen. “It is not uncommonthat it happens in oursystem. We try to keepup with the system butthey do happen. That’spart of the reason why somany utilities are ownedby the government, thechallenge of maintainingsystems like this,” Ragersaid.
Rager said the sewerdistrict will be checkingthe lines in Kramers’neighborhood every sixmonths to make surethey remain clear. Unlikethe Cincinnati Metropol-itan Sewer District,
SD-1’s federal court de-cree doesn’t require it topay for undetected sewerline problems. “We have700 miles of lines. That’salmost enough to go fromcoast to coast,” Ragersaid.
The Kramers havenow increased their sew-er back-up insurance andthis is something allhomeowners should con-sider – especially thosewith a finished basement.In addition, those whorent homes should checktheir renter’s insurancepolicy.
A Forest Park mansaid although he hasrenter’s insurance, hispolicy didn’t cover therecent sewer back-updamage to his belong-ings. So, because manyrenters’ policies don’tautomatically includesewer back-up coverage,you need to ask for thisprotection.
