Anderson said she hasnever been cited for ahealth code violation andthat the city is fabricatingthe complaints.

Anderson said herdaughter’s condition hasdeteriorated because shehas been wheelchair-bound since the cityforced them to removethe horse from their prop-erty.

“Miniature horses arenot rare as service ani-mals. They are just like

seeing-eye dogs … I don’tknow why the city insistsit is livestock,” Brownsaid.

Anderson said themin-

iature horse helps herdaughter by providingequestrian therapy andhelping her move aroundin their home and yard.

“I’m not trying to pullfor something that is notnecessary,” Andersonsaid.

The Community Presson Feb. 19 published a col-umn by Glendale residentRichardSchwabunder theheadline “Tea party activ-ists want to control localschool boards.”

Editors have deter-mined that portions ofSchwab’s column weretaken from the Plunder-bund.com blog.

of the overcrowding, butthe school will be able togo back to just using thegym after the plan goesinto effect for the 2014-15school year.

Many parents at themeeting said the board isnot being sensitiveenough about how the re-districting will affect theindividual students.

“It just doesn’t seemlike you are taking a bigconsideration into thekids who you are movingand a lot of parents havethoughts about includingthird graders into grand-fathering,” said BrookeFriedrich, who lives inThe Reserve.

The grandfather op-tion was kept as a part ofthe final plan. Studentswho will be fourth-grad-

ers and their younger sib-lings will be able to applyto stay at Montgomeryfor the fourth-grader’slast year before movingtoEdwinH.GreeneInter-mediate School for fifth-grade. The younger sib-ling will have to move tohis or her new school thefollowing year.

James said familieswho choose the grandfa-ther option will have toprovide their own trans-portation. The committeefound 34 students thatwill be eligible for thegrandfather option.James said if more stu-dents were allowed totake the option the over-crowding problems atMontgomery Elementarywould not be resolvedquickly enough.

Multiple parents fromMorgans Trace were con-cerned about the neigh-borhood becoming moreisolated. With the new

plan it will be two milesaway from the nearestneighborhood thatgoes toSymmes.

James said the board

was aware of the isola-tion, but had toconsiderthe district as a whole.

Intra-district trans-fers, which allows a stu-

dent togo toaschoolwith-out livingin itsresidentialarea, can be utilized byfamilies in the redistrict-ed zones.

Students must applyfor intra-district trans-ferseachyearand it isnotaguaranteethat theappli-cation will be approved.James said parents mustprovide transportationfor that option as well.

James said the ele-mentary school princi-pals are preparing activ-ities to help the studentsadjust to their newschools.

Board Member JeanStaubach said she was aparent of an elementaryschool student during thelast redistricting in 2002and saw the difference itmade.

“I know it is hard forthe parents and the stu-dents, but it will be betterfor the education of thekids,” Staubach said.

SCHOOL NOTES

Mount Notre Dame stu-dents were given a unique op-portunity to perform surgicaltechniques on cadaver legsthrough the assistance of Bea-con Orthopaedics.

More than 100 students en-rolledinanatomyandphysiolo-gy and AP biology classes at-tended a presentation by Bea-con physicians. The lecture fo-cused on the structures of theknee joint, common knee inju-ries, and surgeries and tech-niques used to help those withknee issues. The followingweek, 12 of those students vis-ited the Beacon OrthopaedicResearch and Education Foun-dation Learning Center andLab to complete a cadaver dis-section of the knee.

Those selected to scrub inwere seniors: Kristi Duncan(Milford), Cara Schuppe (La-kota), Jordan Lamb (Cincin-nati), Emily Borgemenke (Ma-son), Amy Dean (Lakota), SaraVoss (Milford), Ashley Reinert

(Princeton), and juniors: KellyHiggins (Sycamore), Anna Lu-cas (Milford),MaggieLair (La-kota), Ali Staun (Madeira) andMeredith Shaffer (Little Mi-ami).

MND offers five classes ofanatomy&physiology, an elec-tive course taught by JenniferGlass. Glass is the key contactfor MND in building an educa-tional partnership with Bea-

con. Inorder tobring thisexpe-rience to the students atMND,Glass attended a summertraining session. As part of theexperience, fellow MND sci-ence teacher, Sister Ruth Be-dinghaus was able to join thestudents in the learning activ-ity.

Though the partnership, thestudents were educated on theanatomy of the human kneewith a sports medicine empha-sis. This lab gave MND stu-dents the opportunity to ex-plore these injuries and theability to actually see and feelan anterior cruciate ligament,a ligament that female athletesare four to six timesmore like-ly to tear than their malecounterparts.

The lab portion included ananterior dissection, posteriordissectionandarthroscopicex-ploration of the knee joint. Fol-lowing the lab, the studentsparticipated in a question-and-answer session with several

Beacon professionals to dis-cuss the many career paths inhealthcare.

These careers included or-thopaedic surgeon, physicaltherapist, athletic trainer, sur-gery nurse and a healthcareadministrator.

“We are excited to partnerwith Beacon Orthopaedics inproviding extraordinary aca-demic opportunities for MNDstudents.MNDiskeenlyawareof the importance of STEM-based (science, technology, en-gineering and mathematics)educationalexperiences. I con-tinue to be impressed with theintegration of real-world activ-ities that support studentlearning and propel MND stu-dents intoamultitudeofcareerpaths,” saidKarenDay,MND’sdean of academic develop-ment.

MND students will partici-pate in the shoulder portion ofthe lecture and lab program inthe spring.

SWEETREPEAT

CANTON — The UrsulineAcademy Lions won their sec-ond consecutive Division I girlstitle, the seventh swimming anddiving championship in schoolhistory at the state swimmingand diving championships atC.T Branin Natatorium.

Head coach Brad Isham saidthe feeling never gets old.

“No, it doesn’t; it’s really,really good,” he said “We werein a great position after (prelim-inaryraces)Friday.Weknewwehadagoodchancebecauseobvi-ously we were going in seededfirst ina lotofevents. It’sagreatthing, but you worry a little be-cause you only have room to godown from there. You can’t goup anymore.

“But the girls did a great job.They swam their events wellandit justbuiltandbuilt. Itwasagreat weekend.”

Ursuline beat Upper Arling-ton 281-264, with Mason a dis-tant third at 164. The Lions pro-ducedsixchampions intheeightindividual meet events and wontwo of the three relays relays onthe way to its victory.

“You never expect to seethat,” Isham said. “It’s an in-credible accomplishment towinone event. To win all those indi-vidualeventsandthentowinthetwo relays we won is amazing.With those girls, their ability,their work, it really paid off.”

Senior Emily Slabe won the100 backstroke in state-recordtime at 53.95 seconds while alsotaking the 100 butterfly.

“She’s been one of the lead-ers,” Isham said. “We said at thebeginning of the year she had achance to accomplish some-thing special.”

Senior Alisabeth Marstellarwon the 100 free and set a staterecord in the 200 free with atime of 1:47.78.

“Ursuline is a really specialteam, and it’s really special forme to be a part of it,”Marstellersaid. “I wanted to do somethingfor my team in my last event. Iwas happy to score points forthem.”

Junior Sydney Lofquist wonthe 500 free and 200 individualmedley.

“They were fantasticswims,” Isham said. “They’reboth exceptionally hard races, alot more strategy involved withthose.”

Senior Temarie Tomley wasstate runner-up in the 50 freeandplacedfourth inthe100free.

Isham said the 100 free - inwhich freshman Julia Moranwon the consolation finals forninthplace in thestate -wascru-cial.

“I think when we got into the100 free, thatwas a pivotal pointin themeet,”hesaid. “We’dbeenswimming well, but it was stillvery close. Getting all thosepoints, first, fourth and ninth,made us a feel a little bit betterabout our chances.”

Slabe, Lofquist Moran and

Rollie Grinder teamed for the200medleyrelay.Lofquist,Tom-ley, Slabe and Marstellar brokeUrsuline’s own school and statemeetrecordinthe400freerelaywith a 3:21.89 swim.

The Lions entered the statemeet after finishing runner-upto Mason in the sectionals anddistricts.

“Weknow that sectionals andeven districts aren’t really ourfocus,” Tomley said prior to thedistrict meet. “We like havingthe competition and having peo-ple push us, but our focus is onstate. When we get there, I likehow we all come together as ateam and get focused.

“You start riding this mo-mentum that keeps getting big-gerandbigger.Thepeople in thestands are cheering and it justbuildsandbuildsand it’s just thebest feeling.”

CHCASenior Kendall Hart took

third place in the Division IIstate 100 butterfly competition,recording a personal best andschool-record time of 56.14 inthe process.

“Kendall had that fifth gearspeed when she needed it andshe used it tonight to medal inher main event,” said Eagleshead coach Gary Toner. “Ken-dall finishes her high school ca-reer in style with her top-threeplacing.

“It’s now the start off her ca-reer in college. (Hart will swimat Liberty University in Vir-ginia.) High school swimmingwas the means to get there.“(I’m) very proud. (She’s) theposter child for up-and-comingswimmers at CHCA.”

Hart also placed 23rd in theDivision II state100 backstroke.

SycamoreDr.DanCarl tookanothersol-

idcontingentof swimmers fromSycamoreHighSchool to theDi-vision I swimming and divingchampionships Feb. 21-22.

Leading theAveswere a pairof marquees juniors, MarkHancher and Cara Norris. Thepair will anchor next year’s ef-forts.

“Their talent level is separat-ed from the other kids,” Carlsaid. “Those two are legitimateDivision I prospects. Cara hasan opportunity to swim any-where and Mark will be a solidDI recruit.”

Norris didn’t disappoint bytaking second in the 100 butter-fly in :55.14 just behind Ursu-line’s Emily Slabe. In the 200freestyle she was sixth in

1:49.17. Shewas also part of Syc-amore’s eighth-place 200 free-style relay team along with Ma-ry Fry, Priscilla Wu and Eliza-bethWalden.

It was a positivemeet for thejuniorwho historically has beenhampered by nagging injuries.

“She had her third surgerytoward the end of the summerand she’s been healthier,” Carlsaid. “I wouldn’t say she’s 100percent of her potential, butshe’s better than she’s everbeen.”

Mark Hancher highlightedthe boys appearance with asixth-place finish in the 100 but-terfly at :50.63. He alsowas12thin the 100 freestyle at :46.73.

“Mark has done really well,”Carl said.

In Division I diving, seniorAndi DiMasso finished 12th.

Cincinnati Country DayThe Indians finished 15th

among 46 schools who scored inthe Division II girls champion-ships.

JuniorAllieWoodenearnedahealthy chunk of the team’s 54points on her own, finishing asstate runner-up to Mariemont’sClaire Gilmore in the 200 free-style and taking fourth place inthe 100 free.

“She’s disappointed, fired upto go for two (titles) next year,”said CCD athletic director The-resa Hirschauer. “She’s a com-petitor.”

Swimmingon the 200 and400free relay teams that placed12th and 11th, respectively,helped ease some of the individ-ual disappointment.

“So proud of my girls to-night,” Wooden tweeted. “Twonew school records in the 200

free relay and 400 free relay.”Wooden’s girls included Hol-

ly Jacobs, CeliaMacRae andKi-ra Hughes. Sophomore MalcomDoepke also competed for theIndians, taking 15th in the boys500 free.

Many, including sophomoresensation Cooper Hodge, werenot shaved and tapered for thedistrict meet. Despite that, themen ofMoeller still were highlysuccessful, leaving Whatleygreat optimism for theweekendat C.T. Branin Natatorium.

As a team, Moeller faredwell, finishingthirdbehindTole-do St. Francis De Sales andchampion St. Xavier.

The Crusaders were pacedby sophomore Cooper Hodgewho took second in the 200 indi-vidual medley at 1:50.42 andfourth in the100 breaststroke at:57.29.

As a freshman a year ago,Hodge had gone to Tennesseedue to father’s job and earnedhigh school All-American statusthere. His family eventuallymoved back thanks to their af-fection for Cincinnati. It alsoprobably didn’t hurt that he hasan uncle that is a Moeller grad.

Other top finishers were ju-nior Kevin George at third-place in the 500 freestyle at4:32.26 and seventh in the 200free at 1:41.76. Senior GregNymberg took third in the 100

Moeller’s 200 freestyle relaywas 12th, but their 400 free and200 medley relays finishedfourth.

Peloquin, Hodge and ToryWorobetz joined Nymberg inthe medley relay, while Georgewas part of the 400 free relay inplace of Peloquin.

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-ning just eight games. TheCrusaders entered thepostseason with a recordof 8-15-4. Then, they tookoff.

“We knewwe had someyoung guys and that weplay in a pretty toughleague,” saidMoellerheadcoach Mike Reeder. “Ourguys had plenty of oppor-tunities to quit, but that’snot in their vocabulary.

They have a will to playand a will to keep fight-ing.”

Moeller outscored itsfirst two tournament op-ponents, Thomas Wor-thington andColumbus St.FrancisDeSales,byacom-bined score of15-4, settingup a showdown with top-seeded Columbus St.Charles in round three. OnFeb. 22 at theDispatch IceHausatNationwideArenain Columbus, the longtimerivals squared off for thefifth time in the past twoseasons. Last season, thetwo rivals played threeclosely contested games,including Moeller’s 2-1double overtime tourna-ment win that ended theCardinals’ 2013 season.

“We’ve always had afierce, competitive rival-ry with one another,”Reeder said. “Bottom line,you know it’s going to be agood gamewhenwe play.”

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 theyhaddototryandpull off the upset.

“It’s going to be superchallenge.Wehave to playwith tremendous braveryand courage,” saidReederbefore the Feb. 22 match-up. “We’re not nearly astight as we’ve been in thepast. We’re loose, we’rementally prepared.There’s not nearly asmuch pressure on us asthere will be on them.”

Roles reversed in 2014,as the Crusaders bowed 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 experiencedCrusad-er on the ice. Other play-

ers who have waited theirturn and risen to the occa-sion this season includesenior Andrew Carmi-chael, juniors Jake Fesseland Ben Sattler, and soph-omores Tony Lebarge andBraeden Bowra. Seniorgoaltender Brian Tempelprotects the net. Sometweaks to the lineup havepaid off, especially on theattack.

“We hadn’t been scor-ing like this. Nowwe havethree solid lines,” saidReeder. “We have chemis-try now. It just took sometime to cultivate.”

The Crusaders gradu-ate three seniors, but willreturn with a very experi-enced squad next season.The struggles this teamfaced during the seasonwill pay dividends in thefuture as the Crusaderslook togetback to their20-win season ways.

“We’veworkedthroughadversity,” said Reeder.“We think we’re rightwhere we need to be.”

Humanity is in dangerBefore we get into this es-

say take some time to thinkabout your opinion of humanityas it exists in the world today.

You also want to considerwhat changes, if any, haveoccurred from the distant past.The differences should notsurprise you. Other than tech-nology, there are few if any.

In the past there was muchprejudice and warfare be-tween populations that weremore similar than different. Itoften had to do simply withbeing from a different city.Religion was another point tojustify hatred. There, again,small differences led to greathatred and mistrust. Comparethose prejudices with those of

today. Obvi-ously, notmuch haschanged. Itwas and still iseasy to hatesomeone youdon’t know.

What seemsto be so sad isthat we appearto learn to hate

without any reason other thanpast prejudices. Those preju-dices may be based on longpast history that has been mis-represented or even atoned forby later events. In many cases,nothing seems to repair thewrongs.

The symbol of this would be

the Armenians dislike anddistrust of the Turks for eventsthat took place many yearsago. With the advances in le-thal technology it seems that ifhumanity is to survive it wouldbe a good idea for all of us tochange our nature now. Selfexamination is a good place tostart.

How do you react when yousee a stranger? Have you con-sidered that the stranger mayalso be examining you?

It seems that the imagepresented is likely to be afaultfinding experience. If wepresume that you a good per-son, the one judging you maybe looking for reasons to dis-like you. Those reasons may be

entirely based on any or all ofthe following judgements.Race, religion, sex, size, dress,income, occupation, education,habits, spoken language, well,you get the idea. Are you doingthe same?

The reality is that bad ac-tors of any group make othersdistrustful of someone of thatgroup who may be a fine andadmirable person. As a personwho does not judge someoneuntil I have met them, this hasbeen proven to be true. On theother hand, I am not willing togo into areas where crime isprevalent. I strongly feel thatthis is the responsibility of theparticular neighborhood. Thebad persons are a severe liabil-

ity to the good and responsiblepeople that live there.

So, the only possible answeris that it all depends on us. Arewe capable of accepting anyother person as simply as hu-man as we consider ourselvesto be? Can wemake respectmore important than hatredand disrespect? It isn’t all thathard. Sometimes a simplesmile will do wonders for aperson who really needed it. Acourtesy like holding a doorand a “thank you” can changeyour image for the better. Geton the good side. Humanityneeds it badly!

“A sap run is the sweetgoodbye of winter,” wrote JohnBurroughs in “Signs and Sea-sons,” 1896.

Each winter during the1980s Robert E. Lucas Interme-diate School’s students partici-pated in an annual maple syrupproduction project. The “SweetGoodbye” activity producedone 3.4-ounce container foreach of the 100 sixth-gradestudents who would soon de-part RELIS for the junior highschool the following schoolyear.

Under the direction of RE-LIS teacher Michael Duffy,students began the annualproject by tapping into morethan 400 maple trees spreadthroughout the Princeton Na-ture Center. Each tap wasdrilled for a spile that caughtthe tree sap as it rose from thetrees’ roots through the trunkto nourish its numerousbranches. The school’s projectlater became one of the largestmaple syrup operations in thecounty.

During the early years ofproject students would hang

milk cartonsover the spilesto trap the sap.Once the sapbegan to flowin late Januaryand the monthof February,students wouldcollect thecartons, thenempty the

syrupy liquid into a wood burn-ing maple sap evaporatorwhere the sap was cooked intosyrup. Students in PrincetonHigh School’s metal workingclass built the evaporator forthe RELIS project.

Each year the process ofmaking syrup was refined.After the third year, the milkcartons were replaced by sapbags. Since most of the mapletrees were located on a hillabove the maple sap evap-orator, late winter snows andrain created a slippery slopestudents had to negotiate totransport the raw sap to theevaporator. The problem wassolved by installing an intri-cate tubing system connected

to each spile then stretcheddownhill to the evaporator.

Hundreds of feet of tubeswere required to create thisefficient system to transportthe sap to the cooker.

Raw sap is 97 percent waterand only 3 percent sugar, sothe syrup was cooked continu-ously for half a day Since 36gallons of sap are required tomake one gallon of syrup, stu-

dents executed the four hourprocess of stirring sap until itreached the correct thickness.

The six teams of RELISstudents and staff rotated on asix-day schedule to share theproject’s multiple responsibil-ities. The final stage of theproduction involved the stu-dents pouring the gallons ofgenuine Ohio maple syrup intothe three ounce containerslabeled, “Pure Ohio MapleSyrup - Robert E. LucasSchool.”

From the project’s inceptionin 1981 until it concluded in1990, more than 1,500 RELISstudents participated in theenvironmental life scienceactivity that produced count-less gallons of syrup. Not onlydid the students learn aboutabout one of nature’s infinitebounties, they eventually re-ceived a tin of her sweetnesswhen they said “good bye” tothe Robert E. Lucas School.

Noel Taylor was principal of RELISfrom1978 until 1990. He is also theauthor of the book, “A History ofCorbin.”

Feb. 19 questionDo you agree with premise of

Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., lawsuitthat the Obama administration isviolating the Fourth Amendmentby the National Security Agency(NSA) collecting Americans’phonemetadataandrequestingaruling that would halt the pro-gramandpurgeall previously col-lected data from governmentdatabases?Why or why not?

“Rand Paul is a pure dema-gogue. He knows less about theConstitution than a high schoolstudent.

“The issue isoneofprovidingsecurity for the country. Peoplebelieve that their telephonecon-versations are beingmonitored.How uninformed they are.

“Rational statements are notthe stock of Doctor Paul. For aneyedoctorhehasmyopicvision.Amaleversionofa formerAlas-kan governor.

“He should stay with medi-cine where he might have someknowledge. His knowledge ofthe law is based upon a desire todisparage the president who isalso a Constitutional lawyer.

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

J.S.D.

“Of course, Rand Paul’s law-suit is ridiculous. He’s just test-ing thewaters togetmomentumfrom the tea party and right-wing bigots for his potential runfor president in 2016.

“Did he complain about thissnoopingwhentheBushadmini-stration was doing it after 9-11?Doing itnowandnot thenmakesthis look kind of fishy.

“If a moderate, more sensi-ble conservative were makingthis suit, it might be serious —but Rand Paul is neither.

“And he’ll never get electedin 2016.”

TRog

“Leaning yes. Our nation isrun under much false premiseon all levels, provenby the lyingpresident and his staff that willnever be held responsible fortheir actions...if your Dad was aliar and you knew it, lying mustbe OK. If your Dad stole all hisemployees information, it mustbe OK.

“Taking these records is ob-scene to many Americans ofproper conscience, and liarscan’t be trustedwith such infor-mation. What kind of leader al-lows his subjects to be floggedin this way?”

K.P.

“Yes, I agree with SenatorPaul.What theNSA is doing vio-lates the 4th Amendment rightsof everyperson inAmericawitha phone. Onewarrant can not beused to cover every personwitha phone in America.

“President Obama promisedus ‘themosttransparentadmini-stration in history,’ but all we’veseen is scandal, lie and cover upafter scandal, lie and cover up.

“Howmanymore of our con-stitutional rights is Obama go-ing to destroy before he’s heldaccountable?”

J.S.K.

“Do we really think just be-causetheysaywewon’tdo itanymore they are going to do it anyless. I don’t know I don’t haveanything to hide.”

P.R.

Feb. 12 questionColorado and Washington

have legalized retail sale of mari-juana. Is this a good idea? ShouldOhio follow suit? Why or whynot?

“One of the arguments for le-galizingmarijuana is that manypeoplearegoingtosmokeitany-how, and it could be taxed. Well,manypeoplearesmoking tobac-co anyhow, and tobacco is taxed.

“At a time when health au-thorities are trying to persuadepeople to stop smoking tobacco,it isdifficult tobelieve thatadif-ferent kind of smoke will im-prove public health.

“Cigarettes were inventedjust before the Titanic sank in1912. When World War II endedin 1945, a large majority of thepopulation was smoking. Itwasn’t until the mid 1950s thatsuspicions about the relation-ship between smoking and can-cer began to arise and it took an-other quarter of a century for

the evidence to become conclu-sive.

“Something similar is ex-pected to happen ifmarijuana islegalized.

“A large number of peoplewill have to smoke marijuanafor a long timebefore the healthconsequences begin to appear.”

FEBRUARY 26, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

Amy and Bryan Boyn-ton of Liberty Townshipnever expected to spendtheir daughter’s birthdayin a hospital, but Ella wasdiagnosed with acutelymphoblastic leukemiaonMay 28, 2013, just daysbefore her second birth-day.

Since lastMay,Ellahasreceived countless spinaltaps, blood transfusionsand chemotherapy treat-ments. Though she is con-tinuing to receive treat-ment, Ella is consideredtobe in remission fromalland is doingwell.With thetoughest part of Ella’streatment almost behindthem, but with nearly ayear and a half left to go,theBoyntonshaveshiftedsome of their focus andenergy on giving back toThe Leukemia&Lympho-ma Society, an organiza-tion they consider to behelping to save theirdaughter’s life.

ALL is the most com-mon type of cancer inchildren ages 1 through 7.Through research fundedby LLS, the five-year sur-vival rate for childrenwithALLhas increased to

90 percent from just 3percent in 1964. Team InTraining is the largestfundraising campaign ofLLSand is responsible forraising$1.4billion in its25years.

TNT is introducing anew program in Marchcalled Moms In Training,and Ella and Amy Boyn-ton, a sixth-grade teacherat Mason IntermediateSchool,willbe thefacesofthe program. Comparedto the regular Team InTraining fundraising andtraining program, MomsInTraining is slightly lessrigorous. Moms in theTristatewillparticipate ineight weekly workouts onSaturday mornings, at 9a.m., at Weller Park inMontgomery. The 60-to-75-minute workouts,which start March 1, willfeature a mix of running,walking, cross-trainingand stretching. They’redesigned to allow you toexercisewithastroller, somomscanbring theirkidsto the workout, if theychoose. The program willculminate in an optional5K or 10K at the FlyingPig Marathon May 3.

Moms in trainingcoming to Montgomery

It was a week of “lastofs.” We split andstacked the last of ourwood (check out oursmiling photos on myblog) and we had ourlast sled ride of the year.Son Jason videoed it not

just forfun, but,as he said,“to haveevidencethat you,mom, ac-tuallymade itdown thehill.” Well,I not onlymade it

down the hill but I wentfarther than any of thekids. So there. I alsoused the last of our gar-den butternut squash tomake 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 tasterecipe. The originalcalled for fresh sage andI only had dried frommy herb garden. Unlessyou add red pepper flak-es, don’t look for a lot ofspice in this dish, just anice, mellow flavor.

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

1 large red onion, coarsely

choppedOlive 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 singlelayer on pan and roastabout 30-40 minutes,until squash is tenderand lightly browned,turning halfwaythrough. Cook pasta.Cook butter, sage andgarlic until garlic isgolden. Add squash mix-ture, and pasta (I didn’tadd all the pasta at once)to taste. Add more sageif you like. Add red pep-per flakes if you want.Sprinkle with cheese.Serves 3-4.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Easy-to-peel wintersquash/pumpkins: Worthsharing again. Pokeholes all over with fork.Put in microwave onhigh for a few minutes.This softens the skin.Remove with mitts. Letcool and peel.

You know what? Thesquash/onion mixture is

so good on its own that itwould make a great sidedish.

Homemadehoney-lemon coughsyrup

Ever since I talkedabout this on Ron Wil-son’s gardening show,I’ve had requests toshare. Good for sorethroat coughs and justabout anything upperrespiratory that ailsyou. Raw honey is what Irecommend for its anti-biotic properties,healthy enzymes andother good nutrients.Check out my blog formore health qualities oflemon and honey, photosand a honey poulticerecipe. Here’s how Imake the cough syrup:

Roll a washed lemonaround (organic pre-ferred) on counter, put-ting pressure on it withyour hand to help re-lease the juices andbreak down cell struc-ture. Cut in chunks andpour honey over to cov-er. Smoosh all down witha spoon. Let sit in refrig-erator a couple of daysbefore using. Store inrefrigerator. Take ateaspoonful as needed,several times a day ifnecessary.

More goetta storiesThey keep coming in!Mueller family goet-

ta. Joyce Mueller’s fam-ily makes goetta atChristmas as a gift to

themselves. She said:“Our family uses porkand veal. We put themeat in a pot; add water,onion, celery (the leafypart), carrots, picklingspice, bay leaf, allspiceand bouillon and cooklike a stock. After sim-mering for about anhour, we grind the meat,reserve the water intowhich we place theground meat, a littlebarley then stir in quickoats until one can’t addany more oats. Place inthe bread loaf pans. We

fry in a cast iron skil-let.”

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

ed by the feeling that shewas being held back fromadvancing into a manage-mentpositionbecauseshedidn’t have a bachelor’sdegree.

“There I was in myearly 50s with a big deci-sion to make,” Larsonsaid. “I could settle for be-ing overworked and un-derpaid,or Icouldgobackto school andget thebach-elor’s degree I alwayswanted.”

With the support of herfamily, Larson made thedecision to return toschool and immediatelyfocused on UC because ofher positive experiencethe first time around. Shewas interested in a bache-lor’s degree that wouldbuild on her leadershipexperience and add thebusiness managementskills she needed for thenext step in her career.

That was when shelearned about the newAp-plied Administrationbachelor’s program at UC

When Sharonville resi-dent Adrienne Larsonearned her associate de-gree from the Universityof Cincinnati Blue AshCollege in 1978 she wasproud of the accomplish-ment, but wasn’t confi-dent enough in her abili-ties to believe she couldcontinue her education.Thirty-five years later

she has finally earned herbachelor’s degree.

“Adrienne is the per-fect example of lifelonglearning, which is a corecomponent of ourmissionat UC Blue Ash,” said Ca-dy Short-Thompson, deanof UC Blue Ash College.“She shows that it’s nevertoo late to go back toschool and earn your col-

lege degree.”Before she returned to

college, Larson enjoyedpersonal and professionalsuccess over the past 30-plus years. She became asocial worker, got mar-ried, and raised four sons.

As her career evolvedand she thrived in the di-etary and culinary indus-tries,Larsonwasfrustrat-

BlueAsh. It allowedher totransfer all of the creditsshe earned from her asso-ciate degree toward abachelor’s degree. Theprogram prepares stu-dents formanagementop-portunities with a focuson communication, col-laboration, leadership,and business ethics.

“The fact that this pro-gram was offered at UCBlue Ash was a dream,”Larson said. “The classesare perfect for what Ineeded to build on my ex-perience and enhance myleadership skills, theschedule was flexible so Icould continue to work,and earning a bachelor’sdegree fromUC gives methe added credibility I al-ways wanted.”

Going back to schoolafter such a long timeaway can cause someanxiety. Larson used tohate writing papers whenthey were done on a type-writer, but she found itwasn’t so bad when using

a computer. She haslearned how to take testsonline, do research on theInternet, and use UC’sBlackboard system toregister for classes.These were all new expe-riencesandwitheachtaskcompleted, she felt asense of achievement.

After overcoming herfears of returning to col-lege and even takingclasses on the same cam-pus with her youngestson, Larson received herbachelor’s degree. It was35 years in the making.

Along with advancingher degree, Larson alsoearned something elsethat she believes is just asvaluable, self-confidence.“I am truly excited aboutmy future,” Larson said.“My return to the class-room has been the mostchallenging and empow-ering activity I have everundertaken. I have newgoals nowbecause I didn’tsettle for less than I wascapable of achieving.”

UC Blue Ash graduate realizes her dream 35 years later
