CLERMONT CO. — ShannonGoddardisagreatmom–whenshe’s not using drugs.
That’s the message her 15-year-old daughter has left incountless birthday, Christmasandother cards over the last17months Goddard has beenclean.
Goddard is a 38-year-oldmother of twochildren inCler-montCounty’sBataviaVillage.She used heroin every day fora year and a half.
“My kids hated me,” God-dard said.
“I wasn’t a mom.”Her daughter has moved
back in, butGoddard’s13-year-old son still lives with her ex-husband, although he is moreopen to visiting her now.
“That life Iwas living everysingle day was hell,” Goddardsaid.
“You don’t know if you’regoing to shoot up one day andend up on the floor. It’s likeRussian roulette.”
Goddard overdosed at aGold Star Chili restaurant inNorwood close to two yearsago. She woke up on the bath-room floor with a firefighterstraddling her chest.
“Welcome back. You justgot your second chance,” thefirefighter told her.
Goshen Township PoliceChiefRaySnyderhasseenalotofdeadbodies inhis33years inlaw enforcement.
But what he sees with her-oin users still surprises him.
“In the early ’80s (heroin)was rare, we called them jun-
kies and they were typicallyfrom inner cities.You just nev-er saw it, never really heard ofit. Now it’s every single day,”
Snyder said.Goshen Township Fire

Chief Steve Pegram saidhis crews make multipleruns every week respon-ding to residents who areunconscious and notbreathing.
It’s often an ugly scenewhen first responders ar-rive.
“I’m talking lifeless(bodies), and they’ve beendown for God knows howlong. They’re blue – liter-allyblue–andI’mreadyto
call the cor-oner’s of-fice,” Sny-der said.
Thenparamed-ics admin-ister nalox-one, a drugdeveloped
in the 1960s to counteractopiate overdoses.
In thesnapofa finger, anear-corpse turns into afully responsive human.
Nalox-one only af-fects peo-ple withopiate-baseddrugs intheir sys-tem.
“Unfor-tunately,
we use a lot of it,” Pegramsaid.
Other than heart medi-cation, naloxone is themost-carried drug by Go-
shen Township paramed-ics, Snyder said.
Far-reachingproblem
“It’s an epidemic allover,” said Darrell Rob-erts, a Goshen Townshipfirefighter/paramedic.
“It doesn’t just affectoneagegrouporsectionofthe population. It’s 16-through 50-year-olds orbeyond.”
And it’s not just low-in-come, disenfranchisedpeople using the drug ei-ther, said LeeAnnWatson,associate director of theClermont County MentalHealth and RecoveryBoard.
“People that youwouldn’t expect to be ad-dicted to heroin are us-ing,” Watson said.
“It’s in the suburbs, it’sin our schools.”
Northern Kentuckygets a lot of attention forits heroin problems, butit’s just as bad inClermontCounty, Watson said.
“It may actually beworse. From some of the
figures we’re seeing weare considered one of thehot spots in the state,” shesaid.
The Cincinnati Enquir-er reported in its series“Heroin: Prescription forPain” that drug overdosedeaths in Clermont Coun-ty rose 2,350 percent be-tween 2000 and 2010, orabout 30 times the in-crease in the state’s larg-est county, Cuyahoga.
The problem has onlygotten worse.
» In2009, thecountyre-corded 14 heroin-relatedaccidental deaths. Sincethen, thenumberofdeathshas jumped 150 percent.
» In2013, thecountyre-corded 35 heroin-relatedaccidental deaths – withofficials still awaitingtoxicologyreports insomecases.
When looking at all ac-cidentaldrugdeaths in thecounty, about 44 percentof those involvedheroin in2009.
In 2013, about 66 per-cent of those deaths in-volved heroin.
Capt. Steve Leahy, incharge of investigationsfor the Clermont CountySheriff’s Office, said her-oin is difficult to controlbecause people are, forthe most part, buying itoutside the county.
“Heroin is kind ofunique in that a lot of peo-ple don’t go buy massquantities and sell it. Theygo downtown, get enoughfor the day and maybestop somewhere along theway and use,” Leahy said.
“Suppliers – the peopleholding it – may be in Cin-cinnati, they may be inNorthern Kentucky, theymay be in Hamilton(County).
“That’s not to say therearen’t people selling (inClermont County), be-cause there are, but thatobviously makes it muchharder to stem the flow.”
Goddard used to makedaily trips to Cincinnatiwith $20 or $40 to buy her-oin. At first shewaited un-til she got back to Cler-mont County to use, but
then got so addicted shecouldn’t wait.
When she overdosed itwas her mom who droveher to Norwood.
“Heroin takes the soulout of you really.Youdon’tcare about anything, your-self included,” Goddardsaid.
“I told myself I wouldnever shoot up. I ended upshootingup. I toldmyself Iwould never use someoneelse’s needle. I used some-one else’s needle.”
Now Goddard mustmake regular trips to Uni-versityHospital inCincin-nati for hepatitis C treat-ments. If left untreated,hepatitis C can lead to liv-erfailure, livercancerandpossibly death.
Goddard contractedthe disease sharing nee-dles.
Prescription pills arethe gateway to heroin formany. When a prescrip-tionrunsout, theaddictionremains, and it’s muchcheapertobuyherointhanpills.
“That’s me,” said God-dard, who has pulmonaryhypertension, a conditionwhich causes shortness ofbreath and a “racing”heart beat.
Her condition provideda perfect excuse to getpills she eventuallystopped using for their in-tended purpose.
“For years doctorswould just ... see my heartand lung condition (and)anything I asked for theywould give me. I couldwalk away with 40 extrastrengthVicodinsnoprob-lem. That was my addic-tion first,” Goddard said.
JesseWeeks, a 33-year-
oldfromWithamsville,didtwo prison stints becauseof the heroin addictionhe’s struggled with since1999. In 2008, he lived in atent for about eightmonths.
“When you’re sick youdon’t care,” Weeks said.
“You get physicallysick, you get (diarrhea),your legs hurt – you (useheroin) just to feel nor-mal.”
Weeks overdosed be-hind the Home Depot onBeechmont Avenue inUnion Township last year.He spent six hours in thehospital and then shot upagain the next day.
“You never forget thefeeling– thatrush,”Weekssaid.
Weeks recently gradu-ated from the ClermontRecovery Center and hasbeen clean for about nineweeks.
“My son, who is 7 yearsold, he needs me,” Weekssaid.
What can be done?Clermont County com-
missioners approvedOhio’s first community al-ternative sentencing cen-ter last year.
People convicted ofnonviolent misdemeanorscan be sent to the centerand receive treatment,counseling, training andother services.
In addition, the Cler-mont Recovery Center isconsidering using a newdrug called Vivitrol whenusers are released fromjail. Vivitrol decreases thechance of relapse byblocking receptors in thebrain to keep an addictfrom getting high on anopiate-based drug.
Vivitrol was used in apilot program in WarrenCounty, where reaction toit has beenmixed. In 2011,Warren County inmateswho received Vivitrol in-jections had a 25 percentsuccess rate.
Todd Tudor, a nursemanager at the ClermontRecovery Center, said thecenter could eventuallylaunch its own Vivitrolprogram, but for now issending patients to Brownand Warren counties forthe treatment.
Even if Vivitrol provesto be more effective thanits 25 percent success ratein2011,heroin isaproblemwithout a simple solutionthat isstillconfoundingof-ficials.
“I really don’t knowwhat to do,” Snyder said.
“It’s almost like shoot-ing fish in a bucket.There’s never any end toit, but you’ve got to keeptrying.”

name, which providesemergency financial as-sistance and maintains afood pantry serving fam-ilies in need who reside intheMilfordExemptedVil-lage School District.
Itwas thosepeopleMil-ler, who died in 2009, hadin mind when she estab-lished the Mary MillerFund in 1952.
The fund drew sup-portersofall ages, but stu-dents in the school districtseemed to take a specialinterest in collectingmon-ey to help needy peoplepay for food, housing,clothing, heat andmedicalcare.
“Mary Miller was wellknown for helping fam-ilies in the Milford areawith food and other assis-tance for many years,”said Jan Gerdom, secre-tary of the Milford MiamiMinistry board of direc-tors and a member of the5K’s planning committee.
“Milford school stu-
dents over the years fond-ly recall donatingpennies,nickels and dimes to sup-port her work,” said Ger-dom, who was a long-timeMilford resident beforemoving to SycamoreTownship.
Miller, in turn, had aspecial concern for chil-dren, Gerdom said.
“They were typicallyinnocentbystanderswhenfamilies had financial dif-ficulties so it was alwaysabout the kids,” Gerdomsaid.
“Milford Miami Minis-try has been honored tocontinue her legacy bydistributing funds collect-ed through the Mary Mil-ler Fund.”
Fundraising by stu-dents has become moresophisticated and profit-able.
In December, MilfordHigh School DECA stu-dents donated $2,200 andmore than$5,500 in toys totheMaryMiller Fund.

TATE TWP. — A tree-grinding operation essen-tial to the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s ef-forts to eradicate theAsian longhorned beetlein Clermont County couldbe forced to move.
That’s the potentialramification of a April 1Tate Township Board ofZoning Appeals hearing,wheremembersvoted3 to2 toupholdaviolationtheypreviously rescinded.
Bzak Landscaping op-erates the tree-grindingyard on state Route 232and was sent a violationnotice in November.
The township’s zoningresolution states industri-al operations cannot emit“noise, smoke, dust, vibra-tion, heat, bright light,odor or other obnoxiouseffects beyond the limitsof its lot.”
Michael Bieszczak,
president of Bzak Land-scaping, appealed the vio-lation and won.
That decision rankledresidents who claimedtheyweren’t given properpublic notice to the ap-peals hearing. Townshiptrustees agreed, andwhenit was discovered somepublic notice letters werehand delivered late, trust-ees ordered the zoningboard to redo the hearing.
At the second hearing,only four members of thefive-member boardshowed up, and thosememberssplit avote tore-scind the violation 2 to 2.
At the next hearingBoard of Zoning Appealsmembers LockwoodDoench, Jennifer Shinkleand Beverly Jacquez vot-ed against a motion to re-scind the violation and al-low Bzak to continue itsoperation as is.
Board members DavidPetrick and Tony Tolinvotedfor themotion,but it
was defeated 3 to 2.Doench previously vot-
ed to allow the operationto continue.
He changed his mindbecause “it is our job to goby the what the zoningbook says,” he said.
The zoning resolution,which Doench admitted
was “poorly written,” es-sentially states any noiseoutside the industrialproperty is not permitted.
Brittnye Bowman, wholives inahouseonthetree-grinding property, arguedthe grinding only occursduring business hourswhen most people are at
work.She said the property
was used as an industrialsite before the USDAstarted grinding treesthere.
The board’s decisionwas made “all based onemotion, not facts,” Bow-man said.
Richard Carmasino,the property owner, andBieszczak plan to appealthe decision to a highercourt.
Township zoning in-spector George Eckertsaid the case would go tomediation next, then pos-sibly municipal court.

CLERMONT COUNTY — Thestarting gun has fired on thespring track and field season.The following is a rundown ofteams in the Community Jour-nal Clermont coverage area.
Amelia» In his 10th year at Amelia,
Charles Swift leads both teamsat the school off of Clough Pike.
Amelia’s boys finished fifthin the Southern Buckeye Con-ference-American Division lastseason with a small roster. Ex-pected to make big contribu-tions for the Barons are seniordistance runner Grant Wenker,junior hurdler Aaron Krebiehl,junior thrower Cameron Be-hymer, freshman distance run-ner Jacob West and freshmanlong jumper/sprinter BlakeBoykin.
Also on the roster are juniorsRonnie Kirk, Matt Itapson andStephenHaas; sophomoreJona-than Carnes and freshmen TomCasavant and Anthony Fisher.
“Everyone on the team hasworked hard to prepare for theupcoming season and are push-ing each other to do more,”Swift said. “Juniors and seniorsare taking on leadership rolesas they work with the five new-comers to track.”
Amelia’sgirlsare ledbysen-ior thrower Rachel Smith, sen-ior distance runners Katie Ke-phart and Jennifer Wilson; ju-nior jumper Linda Ault, juniorhigh jumper/sprinter VictoriaGreeni, sophomore distancerunnerTrudiThomasandfresh-man distance runner CaitlinArhmann.
“Although the team is smallin numbers, they maintain apositive attitude in their train-ing and are working together tobe the best they can as a team,”Swift said. “Each has their ownindividual goals, but are alsosupportiveof their teammates.”
After the Madeira Invita-tional April 8-9. Amelia willcompete at the New RichmondInvitational April 15-16.
Batavia» Bulldogs boys head coach
BrianLyonshasasmall – only11athletes came out – but reason-ably experienced squad thisspring.
Junior KeyShawn Foley –best known as the Batavia foot-ball quarterback – runs thesprints at 100 and 200 meters.Senior twinsGriffinandHunterStith hit the track in the dis-tance events after reaching theregional cross country meet inthe fall. Junior Ryan Coopercovers the middle distances at800 and 1,600 meters.
KeepaneyeonfreshmenDy-lan Young (sprints) and JoeyRoyer (400, 800), who shouldhave an immediate impact.
“The key for us is going to behow we can maximize the partswe have,” Lyons said. “We obvi-
ously don’t have a lot of depth,so we’re going have to be smartabout where we run people inwhat events to make sure wecan score.”
The girls team is even small-er; head coach Mike Hatfieldonly has seven athletes, but ishopeful a fewmoremay join theteam.
“They’re all underclassmen,so maybe with those numbersyou can hope they can convincesome of their friends to comeout andwe can grow this team,”Hatfield said.
Sophomores Destiny Sunday(100, 200) and Lauriann Esz(400, 800) are returning run-ners, while freshman MiwaylaLombe is fastest in the 100. Hersister Tasha, a junior, is tryingtrack for the first timeand look-ing for an event where she canspecialize. Freshman MadisonSwitzerwill contribute insever-al events.
“Our distances and our fieldevents need some help,” Hat-field said. “We’re trying to findsome long jumpers among thesprinters, just to have somemore versatility. But they’reworking at it and getting bet-ter.”
TheBulldogsopened thesea-son April 8 at the Madeira Invi-tational.
Glen Este» Sixth-year coach Ray
Prueitt heads up the Glen Estegirls and boys for 2014. Bothsquads feature young perform-ers.
Among the Glen Este boysstandouts are anumber of soph-omores, led by Jacob Hamiltonwho qualified for the regionalmeet in the pole vault last sea-son. Josh Stottler is also a polevaulter/sprinter, Austin Snyderhandles the shot put and discusand Brandon Holloway issprinter/long jumper.
Glen Este’s girls are led bysenior distance runner JamieThomas and junior sprinterLindsey Singleton. Topping thefield events for the Lady Tro-jans is sophomore pole vaulterAshley Mues who holds theschool record.
“They work hard and getalong well,” Prueitt said of hissquad. “They are a small teambut dedicated to improving.”
Upcoming meets for GlenEste are with Norwood April 11,followed by the New RichmondInvitational April 15-16.
Miami Valley ChristianAcademy
» Steve Krebsfanger coach-es the boys and girls of MVCAthat consists of 27 total kids.
Both squads train at ShortPark in Newtown behind theschool grounds.
“We train there and at LittleMiami bike trail,” Krebsfangersaid. “We’re a homeless trackteam. Mariemont High Schoolhas also beenwonderful to us tolet us use their track for a cou-ple days.”
TheMVCAgirls feature two-time league champion sopho-
moreRachelMcCoskeyandAn-nieLefler, a senior.Botharedis-tance runners. Michele Leefrom the basketball team is alsoa valuable contributor.
On the horizon, Krebsfangerwill be bolstered by a strongcross country group coming tothe school for next season. AliPetty is a current freshmanmakingadifferenceandeighth-graderLauraVilardohasbeenatop junior high performer.
The MVCA boys team is ledby Alex Ammerman, a sprinterwho has committed to the Uni-versity of the Cumberlands forfootball. Freshman Matt Hoylewill also help in the 200 and 400meters.

Upcoming meets for the Li-ons are at Cincinnati CountryDay April 11 and at ReadingApril 25.
McNicholas» The Rockets have a new
head coach in Kyle Jepson, whosteps into the leadroleafterfiveyears as an assistant coachwiththe program.
His boys team features 21athletes, six of them seniors.
“That’s maybe a little lowernumber than what we’d like,”Jepson said. “The good news isthe boys all will be able to con-tribute.”
The strength of the team liesin thedistancecorps, ledbysen-iors Connor Nelson, Anthony
Luster, T.J. McSwiggan andMarkFlatt. Senior pole vaultersDaniel Sandmann and TannerCardone should provide pointsand additional leadership.
Junior thrower Will Algeierreturns after qualifying for theregionalmeet last season. Soph-omores Blaise Harpring (highjump, hurdles, sprint relays)and Jonathan Wenzel (100 and200meters) bring good speed tothe club.
Freshmen Reese Jabin (longjump, sprints), Ben Johnston(hurdles) and Evan Por (hur-dles, high jumps) should con-tribute right away.
“Our seniors will be our bestathletes,” Jepson said. “We’rereally counting on them to setthe example.
“With a lot of theyoungguys,we’re trying to start them onsomeoftheevents that takea lotof technique and practice in thehope of developing them so thattwo, three years fromnow, theywill be the strength of theteam.”
Onthegirls side,McNickfin-ished second in the GCL CO-Edand the Division II districtmeet, falling to Alter in the for-mer and New Richmond in thelatter by a combined eightpoints.
“We graduated 42 of the 103points we scored at districts,butI thinkthis teamwillbeevena little better than last year,”Jepson said. “We have greatdepth and we’ve added somereally strong athletes.”
Oneof them is seniorCather-ine Adams, running her firstyear of track after winning acrosscountrydistrict title in thefall. Freshman Adrian Ellcomes in with a 5-foot-1 highjump, just an inch off the schoolrecord, before ever competingon the varsity level.
Two other freshmen inMegan Rack (distance) andMorgan Vogler (sprints, hur-dles and throws) should makean impact from the outset.
“Towinboth thosemeets (theGCL and district), which is ourgoal, we’re going to have toscore points in just about everyevent. We’ve got good sprints,good distances and with some-body like Adrian - where we
were shut out in the high jumplast year – a good chance toscore well in the jumps.”
The Rockets hosted 25schools in the the Division IICoaches Classic April 4 and 5.
New Richmond» Boys head coach Shelbey
Pride has 30 athletes on thesquad this spring, includingseveral who qualified for thedistrict meet in 2013.
Senior Pierce Burnam – whorecentlycommitted toWilming-ton College – returns after a re-gional run in the hurdles lastseason. Other regional qualifi-ers back are sophomore AustinTorrens (middle distance), whoadvanced in the 800, and seniorBranston Evans (throws), whoadvanced in the discus
Junor Bobby Bingham hadregional experience in crosscountry in the fall and will leadthe distance contingent. SeniorMalik Davis is on the track forthe first time and should beamong the top sprinters.
“I would say we’re a well-mixed team,” Pride said. “Welost some of our distance teamfrom last year, but our sprintteam is a lot deeper. We’ve gotsome good talent in the field,too.”
Girls head coach TerriFlammas39athletes, abouthalfof whom are returning.
Seniors lead the way in sev-eralevents, includingOliviaBe-hymer (100, 200), Eleanor Wil-dey (discus),AshleeLewis (shotput) and Hannah Hall (longjump).
Newcomers towatch includesophomores Claire Burns(1,600, 3,200) and Maren Hance(400, 800), as well as freshmenLexi Forsee (sprints and highjump) and Shelbi Simpson (dis-tance).
“On paper we’re maybe a lit-tle better than we were lastyear,” Flamm said. “Assumingeveryonestayshealthyandcon-tinues to develop and workhard, we could have a prettygood season.”
Williamsburg»Numbers are a little down
for the boys team as ChristRolph rolls out a roster of 18.
“We lost experience in mostof the technique events,” Rolphsaid. “I lost my two best hur-dlers and a district champion inthe pole vault. We’re replacingsome of those with people whohave done the events, but onlyin practice, not competition, sowe’ll see.
“Over the last10 yearswe’vebeen noworse than third (in theSBC) at any point in that time. Ithink we’ll find a way to com-pete again this season.”
Key for the Wildcats will beseniorCodyMinnie, thedefend-ing league champ in the longjumpand third-place finisher inthe 100 meters. ClassmatePearce Williford also runssprints and long jumps.

“Our seniors are notonly very good players,but they’ve been greatabout welcoming theyounger players and lead-ing the team. We reallycount on them for that.”
The Bulldogs play allawaymatcheswith no ten-nis courts on campus.

April 20-26 is observed asEarth Week around the world.Today I will reflect on this time
and writeabout what itmeans to me.
In October2005, about 20Clermont highschool stu-dents piledinto a room inthe modularsat MilfordHigh for thefirst meetingof the Leaders’
Environmental Actions Foun-dation, or LEAF.
Over the next five years,the program flourished as anon-hierarchal compact thatstringently promoted environ-mental integrity among all ofClermont’s students. The or-ganization functioned throughcommissioned acts which wereplanned by each of its mem-bers.
LEAFWarriors, as we werecalled, organized the recyclingaudit and disposal program forpaper and plastic; implement-ed pan-campus cleanups eachfall and spring; successfullylobbied schools to place veganmeal options in cafeterias;advocated for Meatless Mon-days at all schools; convened aWinter Solstice Workshop;visited elder care residents atClermont County NursingHome in winter; initiated theStudent Body Archive as anact; facilitated a yearlongclothing drive; picketed cars toturn off their engines at schooldismissals; unwelcomed andprotested a demeaning, crude,and overall exploitative circus;hosted two community conven-tions in 2007 and 2008; and
partnered with the CincinnatiNature Center.
Then, Young LEAF blos-somed at the Milford JuniorHigh School.
Even today, Clermont’syouth are asking ClermontCounty Fair officials to installthe positions of Vegan Queenand Vegan King on the fair’sroyalty court in 2014 - what anawesome, exciting and appro-priate endeavor which every-one should support whole-heartedly.
Today the environment isbeing jeopardized by skepticalconjectures and apathy. Cler-mont County, the cities of Mil-ford and Loveland, and sur-rounding townships have takena proactive stance to combatthis apathy and commence alarge-scale recycling initiative.
Volunteers are petitioningthe EPA for action to removethe thousands of tons of toxicwaste stagnating at Cecos,when the county’s “more directcommunication” has not ar-rived.
Residents have access to amyriad of community gardenprojects that facilitate col-lective produce.
Many of Clermont’s finestcitizens are also joining effortsfor full global nuclear dis-armament, eradication of allradioactive materialization,and securing a tough globalclimate treaty to cease anthro-pogenic climate change for usand future generations.
I hope that higher energystandards, conservation tech-niques, replanting, animalfreedom and more educationand programming also come tothis area.

“As the Reds are the oldestprofessionalbaseball organiza-tion in American history, goingback to1869, if thiswere tooffi-cially happen Cincinnati wouldbe a good place to try it out as alocal holiday. Whether or notyou’re a baseball fan you haveto admit that.”
TRog
“I think this is a very goodidea. Baseball is king in thiscity andwe take this day everyyear to honor that.”
Terry Garvin
“Thingsare just finehere inCincinnati on Opening Day. Ifothers wish to do the samething they should be able to doit without bringing in the localor national governments.”
R.V.
“Whynot?Sinceagreatdealof people take off work for
Opening Day on any profes-sional baseball team, andwatch their parades, might notbeabad idea. I thinkCincinnatishould be the first selected forthissincetheyhadthefirstpro-fessional baseball team!”
OHR
“I’m not really sure if othercitiescelebrateOpeningDayinthe same fashion as Cincinnati.There is a lot of activity that isexhibited on Opening Dayfromearlymorningandtill latein theevening. Iknowthestadi-um only seats approximately40,000, but many many moretake off work that day, due tosickness or whatever, andboost our economy by fre-quenting a local establishmentsomewhere to watch on TV.
“I also understand thatOpening Day causes some ofthe highest absenteeismwithinour school systems, and possi-bly the lowest productionwith-in most companies. Did youever try to get anything donewith a local or county office onthis day? I know when I wasworking, we always had a TVand refreshments for our cus-tomers in the lobbyandhad theemployees dress in their Redsgarb. This is a day of enjoy-
ment and socializing amongstthousands of people, and if wecan’t do this just for one day,maybe we should just keep onas is and continue to playhooky.”
D.J.
“Yes. Let’s have some funoutdoors after thewinter dulls.This shouldnot be abargainingchip in business but a nationalday tomissworkor schoolwithno penalty at either. Less weforget it has been labeled thenational pastime.
“Boysandgirlsstartplayingat very young ages, moms anddads cheer in the bleachersrings in small towns to largecities, sand lots. So, let’s playball.”

I may be jinxingmy-self, but I think we’vefinally transitioned intospring. The last few dayshave convincedme, andin our little patch of
woods, I’mseeing trueharbingers:watercressin ourspring-fedpool andtrilliums,bloodroot,anemonesand springbeauties allpoking up
through the leaves. Thedandelions and wild on-ions are all over the place.Both nutritious wild ed-ibles.
Meanwhile, we’regearing up for Easter.One of my favorite yeastbuns to make is hot crossbuns. Now these aren’textremely sweet, like asweet roll (they’re a bun,remember), but justsweet enough to reallyenjoy with a cup of tea orglass of milk.
Legend has it that ifyoumake yeasted hotcross buns for Good Fri-day and hang one up inthe kitchen, you’ll havesuccess with anything youmake with yeast all year‘round. That won’t behappening at my house!
Let the kids help.
Granddaughter Eva lovedmaking the cross deco-ration. You can also sim-ply use the icing as aglaze over the whole bun.
Buns1pkg. (1/4 oz.) active
dry yeast, regular orrapid rise
1 tablespoon plus 1/2cup sugar, divided
1 cup warmmilk (110°-115°)
1/4 cup softened butterCouple dashes salt1/2 to 1 cup raisins1 large egg, room tem-
perature3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups all-
purpose flourPreheat oven to 375. In
mixer bowl, dissolveyeast and1 tablespoonsugar in warmmilk. Letstand for 5minutes. Itwill foam up. Add butter,raisins, egg, salt and re-maining sugar; beat untilsmooth.
On low speed, pour inenough flour to form softdough - I used 3-1/2 cups.Turn onto very lightlyfloured surface (not toomuch flour or buns willbe tough); knead untilsmooth like a baby’s bot-tom, about 5 minutes. Iused the dough hook soavoided hand kneadingand extra flour.
Place in sprayed orbuttered bowl, turningonce to coat top. Bless
dough! Cover and let risein warm place until dou-bled, 1 hour ormore. Sticka finger in gently, if in-dentation remains, you’regood to go; if it springsback, it needs to raisemore.
Punch dough down.Divide into 12 portions.Shape into balls.
Place in sprayed orbuttered 13x9 pan. Coverand let rise until doubled,about 45minutes.
Bake 25-30minutes oruntil golden. Mine weredone at 25minutes.
IcingWhisk together:2 cups confectioner’s
sugar1 tablespoon vanilla4 tablespoons water or
more if needed. Make a
cross shape on each bun.
Tip from Rita’skitchen:
Raising in fridge: Asan experiment, I divideddough in half and let halfraise at room temper-ature and half in fridgecovered overnight. Thedough from the fridgetook longer to raise, butboth batches came outgreat.
Hawaiian roll cloneLeave out raisins and
icing and you have a rollthat to me tastes likestore-bought Hawaiianrolls. The crust is not assoft, but the sweet flavoris there.
Yeast basics
Back in the old daysyeast came in the form ofmoist little cakes and hadto be refrigerated. Nowwe can buy dry yeast inthe store. It comes inmany forms, from reg-ular yeast to rapid rise tobreadmachine yeast. Alleasy to use.
Is it fresh?Tomake sure your
yeast can still leaven, adda little to somewarmwater with a pinch ofsugar. It should foam upwithin minutes. If not,toss it. Yeast kept in thefreezer stays fresh long-er.
Can you help?Yeasty flavor in
breads: Lois B. has afriend who wants to knowhow tomake the flavor ofyeast more prominent inher baked goods. Usingregular, not rapid risemay help. Any sugges-tions from bakers in our
Community circle offriends?
Applebee’s hot bacondressing:Wanda R. hastried “to no avail” to makethis. Do you have a simi-lar recipe?

Amulti-state investi-gation is now underwayinto the practices of thestudent loan servicingfirm SLMCorp., also
known asSallie Mae.Thiscomesafter nu-merouscomplaintshave beenfiled withstate at-torneysgeneralaround the
country.Complaints are com-
ing from people like EricWooddell of Martinsville,Ohio.
“Sallie Mae is takingmoney specified for cer-tain accounts (in this casethe ones with higherinterest rates) and post-ing the money how theywish (to lower interestloans),” Woodell wrote.
Wooddell said he hasrecorded phone con-versations with the com-pany and has bank state-ments showing the prob-lem.
“Over $1,300 hasn’teven been posted to myaccount where I havebank records showing Ipaid the amount. Theyare blaming a systemchange while millions ofstudents are being im-pacted and paying thou-sands more in interestpayments,” he said.
I’ve told Wooddell, asI’m telling everyone elsewith such problems, tofile a complaint withtheir state attorney gen-eral. Ohio officials theresay they are not permit-ted to say whether theyare part of the multi-stateinvestigation being led bythe Illinois AttorneyGeneral. Ohio has re-ceived 57 complaintsabout Sallie Mae since2012.
Nationwide, the feder-al Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau re-ports almost half the
3,800 student loan servic-er complaints it’s re-ceived are against SallieMae. It says the mostcommon complaints con-cern inaccurate paymentprocessing and an inabil-ity to modify loans.
One complaint on filewith the Ohio AttorneyGeneral reads, “On the18th of January, I ‘paidoff’ one of the loans, butthey have no record of it!Key Bank has repeatedlysent them verification,and they refuse to ac-knowledge that they‘received the electron-ically sent payment’! Iam beyond what to do!”
Another complaintfiled with the Ohio At-torney General reads,“Sallie Mae continues tochange the way theyhave done businesswhich changes the origi-nal agreement when theloan was made. Furtherinvestigation is neededinto the Sallie Mae prac-tices.”
A spokesperson forthe Illinois AttorneyGeneral said, “We’relooking into the increas-ing reports of abusiveservicing practices in-volving consumers whohave taken on consider-able student debt loans.”
Congress created theConsumer Financial Pro-tection Bureau in 2010 aspart of the Dodd-Franklaw in an effort to watchover banks and studentloans. The law encour-ages state attorneys gen-eral to take more of aninterest in complaintsagainst student lenders.
Sallie Mae is the na-tion’s largest student loanprovider and had setaside $70 million to helpresolve enforcementactions by the Depart-ment of Justice and theFederal Deposit Insur-ance Corp.
