Bill Hauser graduated fromLoveland High School in 1974.He’d spent his entire life inLoveland, was a highly-rankedhigh school quarterback, andwas headed toWittenberg Uni-versity in Springfield, Ohio, toplay football for the top-ratedsmall-college.

Now, 40 years later, he’swritten the story of his “Sea-sons in the Sun.” While it is hislife, it is a familiar story ofgrowing up in the ‘70s, smallcollege football, and the musicthat shaped the decade.

“It’s just really my life,”Hauser said. “I thought itwas agood story. It goes through myfootball career which was upand down. I had good times. Ihad bad times. It was a fight. Itwas a struggle.”

Hauser said it also might be“a littleR-rated.” Itwasthe ‘70safter all. It starts with him as ahigh school senior with somegirlfriend troubles. The bookbecame available in June. Hehad a book-signing on an Au-gust Saturday afternoon inPaxton’sGrill. ItwasnothighlypublicizedusingonlyemailandFacebook to alert friends, fam-ily and locals.

“It turned out pretty well. Itwas a good day,” he said. “Wehad some appetizers. It wasmostly friends. It was a lot offun.”

Hauser sold about 25 copiesof “Seasons in the Sun” andprobably signedacoupledozenmore copies people alreadybought and brought in to havesigned. There was one specialvisitor who came in to buy hisbook and get it signed.

“One lady that came in wasmy high school English teach-er,” Hauser said. She’s retired,maybe in her ‘70s, and they’refriends on Facebook. “Shecamein,boughtabook,andhadme sign it. Miss West. She wasmywriting teacher as a senior.

I’m sure she was interested inseeing how one of her studentsturned out.”

MissWestwasnot the targetaudience for his book. Hethinks it will appeal most topeople who lived through the‘70s’,went tocollege in the ‘70s,

liked the music, and happen tolike football. Stories about themusic of the day provide abackdrop for the events of thattime. Hauser named eachchapter with a ‘70s song title.

MIAMI TOWNSHIP — Arequest by HPA Develop-mentGroup Inc. to rezoneone of the township’s lastremaining developmentparcels has been post-poned until Dec. 4.

The announcement ofthe rescheduled hearingwasmadeonMiamiTown-ship’s website.

The hearing will nowbe at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4 attheMiamiTownshipCivicCenter, 6101MeijerDrive.

The township’s web-site said the zoning casewas postponed from theNov. 6 meeting of the Mi-

ami Township Rural Zon-ing Commission at the re-quest of HPA Develop-ment Group Inc. for Ran-dall and Paul Diekmeyer.

Township Administra-tor Larry Fronk said heunderstood the developerwas looking at other op-tions for the design.

“They thought theyneeded anothermonth be-fore they could get every-thing finalized,” Fronksaid.

The developer also isworking on a traffic studythat has not yet been sub-mitted to the township.

Representatives ofHPA Development Groupcould not immediately be

reached for comment.HPA Development

Group Inc. wants to build200 single-family homeson the 88.62-acre Diek-meyer Farm. To do that,the group is requesting a

zone change from“A”Ag-ricultural to “R-2” single-family residential with anR-PUD overlay.

Developers say the in-fill neighborhood at thecorner of Branch Hill

Guinea Pike and the southside ofWeber Roadwouldtie in with adjacent subdi-visions and fill a need forhigh quality housing inthe township. Critics, whoinclude 320 petitioners,are concerned about anumber of issues, includ-ing the possibility of fu-turemulti-family housingon the site by another de-veloper if anR-PUDover-lay is approved, as well asthe proposed develop-ment’s impact on trafficand property values.

Zoning hearing for Diekmeyer Farm inMiami Township postponed until Dec. 4By Cindy [email protected]

CINDY SCHROEDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

A hearing on a zone change to allow construction of a200-home subdivision was moved to Nov. 6.

“I went to a lot of con-certs back then,” he said.“Music was great. Everydorm room had a stereo.Music was playing all thetime.”

He recounts hearing ayoung rising star namedBilly Joel perform in aconcert at Wittenberg.Seeing Billy Crystal as awarm-up act on campus isanother of the tales. Heliked the music, still likesthat music. Hauserthought it would be enter-taining in the book andhoped it would triggermemories for thereaders.Many people who haveread it told him it was agood trip back; broughtback a lot of memories.More than that though,His main goal was to putout quality work with hisname on it. He didn’t heara bad review from hishighschoolEnglish teach-er.

“I wanted no mistakes,Imeanzero,”Hausersaid.“I wanted it to look likeJohn Grisham wrote it.That was my goal.”

Hauser wrote the bookover the course of twoyears following the deathof his wife. It was a toughperiod which saw him re-tire after a 33-year careerin sales with Kellogg’s.Writing, editing and pub-lishing the book took himback and remindedhimofthe great experience hehad growing up, playingfootball, going to a greatcollege, andhearinggreatmusic. It reminded him ofwhat he learned and howthose lessons helped inlife.

“I wanted to bring thatout,” he said.

Clifford the Big Red Dog came to lifefor students as the school celebratedreading. It was one of two book fairsLECC hosts annually.

“This is a fantastic program for bothourstudentsandourschool,”LECCPrin-cipal Kyle Bush said. “With the Scholas-tic Book Fair, the media center receivesa certain amount of the proceeds – mon-ey that we use to invest in learning ma-terials for our students. Plus, it gives ourstudents a chance to make book selec-tions to expand their library at home.”

Last year, the LECC media centerearned a little more than $5,500 duringthe two book fairs. LECC families donat-edmore than $1,000 last year for LECC’sAll for Books program, in which for ev-ery dollar LECC collects, Scholastic do-natesonebook tooneof twononprofit or-ganizations dedicated to helping chil-dren, families, and teachers acquirebooksandeducational resources:Kids inNeed Foundation andKids in DistressedSituationsInc.TheScholasticBookFairsLECChosts eachyear are themedia cen-ter’s sole source of funding for librarybooks.

The next LECC Scholastic Book Fairis set for March 2-6.

»Kindergarten and first-grade stu-dents at Loveland Early Childhood Cen-ter had a uniformed teacher Oct. 21 andOct. 23 as Loveland Police Officer FredBarnes, who also works for the districtas a resource officer, presented a lessonon StrangerDanger.

“We thought Officer Barnes was theperfect person to teach the studentsabout how to stay safe,” Principal KyleBush said. “The fact is – our studentsneed to be aware of how to react if theyare ever approached by a stranger; thelesson is a very important one.”

The Stranger Danger presentationwasan idea that developedout ofLECC’sSchool Safety Committee.

FAIRBORN—From the I-675 turn off ofI-75 until the Colonel Glenn Highway,nearly each mile marker featured acardboard sign of encouragement forMountNotreDameHighSchool’svolley-ball team on the way to Wright State.

The Cougars’ fans are veterans of theDivision I state tournament whose vehi-cles might make it to the Nutter Centeronauto-pilot.Afterall, 2014markedtheir12th state appearance, including sevenof the last nine seasons.

Almost ayear to theday that theywonthe 2013 state title, Mount Notre Damebrought the hardware home again toReading with a three-game sweep.

JuniorSabrinaWolfstartedthematchoff in a fine fashion with a service ace.TheCougarswenton towingameone25-17. It was just the seventh time in 29games the Polar Bears had lost an open-ing game.

In the second game, MND had com-fortable leads,butamajorspikebyJack-son’s Stephanie Spencer tied it at 17 andCougars coach Joe Burke called timeout. Coming out of the pep talk, DaniSzczepanski had an immediate kill andthe Cougars reeled off four straightpoints, eventually winning 25-19.

Jackson hadn’t won this season whenlosing the first two and thatwould be thecase at theNutter Center as the Cougarstook the game 25-19, and the match.

With state crownNo. 8,MND joins St.Ursula and Newark Catholic as the win-ningest schools in state volleyball histo-ry.

“Wedidn’tplaythecleanestvolleyballwe’ve ever played, but we’re able to dosomething we set out to do at the begin-ning of the year,” Burke said. “I’m reallyproud of these girls.Wehadagauntlet ofa road to go through.”

It was Massillon Jackson’s secondstate appearance and second runner-uptrophy.

“They’re pretty good and they causeyou not to have big runs,” Jackson coachJeff Walck said. “I thought my kidsplayed well. Their middle (Szczepanski)dominated. You’re playing at a deficitwhen a kid is that red hot.”

Szczepanski finishedwith17 kills andMukeswith11. Senior liberoMargoWolfhad 15 digs and senior setter JessicaTowle had 36 assists.

“These girls and everyone on myteamhadmyback,”Szczepanski said. “Itdoesn’t ever change. They’re alwaysthere for me.”

Wolf and Towle have played on thesame team the last eight years.

For the Polar Bears, senior StephanieSpencer had eight kills, junior liberoKellyKlimohad10digsandsenior setterOlive Zanolli had 21 assists. It was theirfirst loss since falling to Ursuline onSept. 20. Jackson finishes the season26-3.

LOVELAND — On thefirst day of November,Loveland High School’sfootball coach spent the af-ternoon in his yard with arake and some leaves.

Last year, Fred Cran-ford’s leaves didn’t getmuch attention until earlyDecember when his Tigersfinished off their story-book 15-0 season with theOhio Division II statechampionship.

Instead of an early holi-day gift this year, Lovelandwas dealt a Halloweentrick Oct. 31 when Milfordpulled the 20-17 upset toend the Tigers’ season at6-4. A win would’ve putLoveland back in the play-offs with a puncher’schance; instead they wereknocked out by a team thathadn’t beaten them in eightyears.

“It didn’t matter whoyou were playing, you putyour blinders on,” a disap-pointed Cranford said.

Even after the loss, theTigersweremathematical-ly hanging by a thread asother Division II resultscame in. Cranford himselfwas doing computationsinto the early morning

hours.“Bottom line, we

coughed it up and took astep backward,” Cranfordsaid. “I hope when we lookfive years from now that itwas a loss that brought at-

tention to what we have todo each and every night toget things done.”

Part of the issue thisseason was a streak of badluck by way of the injurybug. All-league playersNate Slagel, Jeff Prifti andIan Leever all had signifi-cant injuries and missedmultiple games.

“It just makes last yearthat much more miracu-lous,” Cranford said. “Wehad a lot of high expecta-tions for a group of seniorswho I’mnot sure knewhowto handle it.We had routinediscipline problems. Wehavea lot of thingsweneedtocleanupandwe’reonourway in doing that. You doright on and off the field,you’ll end up being moresuccessful in times likethis.”

It was a learning proc-ess also for thecoach.They

were everybody’s biggestgame. Then, came the slowstart and a host of ail-ments..

Though many of the“skill” positions returned,some linemen didn’t. An-drew Alten and CamdenBauckewere key cogs whoallowed Slagel and LukeWaddell to burst throughmassive holes.

Though down, Cranfordis keeping the faith and ex-pects long-term growthfrom Loveland from theyouth leagues to varsity.

When they next take theturf, the backfield of quar-terbackDrewPlittandrun-ning backs Luke Waddelland Ryan Bagnoli shouldbe in place. Zion Wynn isanother injurymany didn’tknow about and may turnsome heads at wingback.

“He would have proba-bly started andnever come

off the field,” Cranfordsaid. “Electric speed;you’re talking about LukeWaddell speed. I’m excitedabout moving forward.This could be a perfectstorm.”

This month and next,Loveland will watch to seeif La Salle, Kings or MountHealthy can catch light-ning in a bottle as they didlast year.

“If we won, I would’vebeen excited to play any ofthem,” Cranford said. “LaSalle, they’re a beast;there’s no doubt about it.But, they don’t play theWing-T. I think wewould’ve given them fits.”

For now, the Tigers canonly wonder of what couldhave been and look for-ward to a season that willinclude a home gameagainst their revived rivalMilford.

Nov. 5 questionThere is a proposal in the Ohio

legislature to keep schools openyear-round. Is this a good idea?Why or why not?

“Because this is so unlikemy experience, and I reallyloved going to school, I wouldnot trade the summer work ex-periences, and opportunity togo away from the structure ofthe class room for a while, forfull time school years. I recog-nize that some Asian countriesand others that have more fre-quent, though short, ‘vacation’days, use the system.

“I am mostly interested inwhether the people I had, whowere excellent public schoolteachers, would have chosen toteach, without the opportunityto both have the extended time

forrefreshing theirowneduca-tion or experience ‘life’ awayfrom the responsibilities of be-inggreat educators. Thepublicbuildings could certainly beused for adult education or tu-toring during the summermonths. Rents, paid by the us-ers, part time employment formany people, and the possibil-

ity that we might better evalu-ate teachersby their interest inself improvement, all createdifferent though plausible sce-narios.”

MEG VOGEL FOR THE ENQUIRER

Ann Hobing, senior director at Union Terminal, cheers early poll results ofIssue 8, the icon tax on Nov. 4 at Union Terminal.

Take a look at events allover the world. The sad com-monality for many is morbid

hate forsomeone whois only mar-ginally dif-ferent fromany of us.This alsoincludes theunexpressedfeelings heldback in pass-ing a totalstranger.

We havethe advantage of living in asociety where it is possible tomeet and befriend a varietyof people of many heritages.Howmany of us use thisopportunity to enjoy thelearning and intellectualadvantage of this offer? Or, isit likely you will convenientlyjudge this unknown personbased solely on appearance?

The history of mankind isnot favorable on our treat-ment of each other based onwhat are really minor differ-ences. At this point I prefernot to be specific as weshould all make intelligentvaluations of our own and ofothers potential reactions.

A good starting point is toconsider that you are thestranger, possibly in unusualcircumstances. Someone islooking at you. What are theythinking? You could be in aforeign country or even in asection of your home townthat is “different.” Are youcomfortable being evaluated?Well, isn’t that the same thingyou do? What I am trying todemonstrate is that it is veryeasy to judge and dislikesomeone you don’t know.

But, let’s move on. Ouractions are used by others tovalidate their feelings wheth-er they are hateful or posi-tive. If you are “different” inany variation from theirnorms it makes dislike of youa convenience. In many casesthis dislike has to do withwhat amounts to very slightdifferences in religion.

I have been a student ofreligion for many years. My

readings have underscoredthe reality that even amongthe highly disputed differ-ences there is far more incommon than the allegeddifferences. My travels havebrought me in contact withpersons of many races andreligions. Having a very openmind has caused me to acceptthat their way of life as veryvalid for them and both in-teresting and acceptable tome.

When we survey thewrongs committed in behalfof race, nationality or religionwe can only wonder howdifferent the world would beif hate was an inconvenienceand acceptance was prized.One has to believe that theprejudice is fostered by somesort of false feeling of superi-ority. We are also quick tovalidate our prejudices whenwe become aware of badactions of one individual ofpeople whomwe convenient-ly dislike. This is a problemthat can only be remedied bygroup pressure from thatdistinct heritage.

The bad actors of thatgroup hurt the many goodpeople that we have not takenthe effort to meet.

Perhaps a way to arrive atbetter relations is join somegroup of diverse people. Wecan learn from and aboutthem. You will be enriched inmore ways than you couldimagine. This simple actionwill help to improve under-standing and humanity in asmall way. But, small stepslead to great progress.

“We have theadvantage ofliving in a societywhere it ispossible to meetand befriend avariety ofpeople.”

Youmay not realize this, butfalling is a serious health riskamong older adults.

Each year,roughly oneout of threeAmericansover the age of65 experiencesa fall. Foradults over theage of 65, fallsare the leadingcause of emer-gency depart-ment visitsand hospital-

izations. These emergencyroom visits and hospitaliza-tions result in $30 billion a yearbeing spent in the U.S. treatingolder adults for the effects offalls.

Not only are falls expensiveto treat, but the pain and injurythey cause can have negativeeffects on a person's quality oflife and drastically reduce anolder adult's independence.Once a first fall has occurredthe apprehension level risesbecause we are afraid it willhappen again. We also becomeconcerned with the actionsothers might take to help us.All of this can lead to furtherphysical decline, depression,isolation and feelings of help-lessness.

So what can be done to pre-vent falls? Plan ahead. Begin

with a conversation betweenthe senior and caregivers.Listen to one another. Do notassume you know the answers.Be open with one another. Askwhat challenges the person isfacing each day with the dailyactivities. Ask them to showyou how they do certain rou-tine activities. Include anynurse or therapists involved inthe daily health care plan. Thismay take a few conversationsto build or rebuild trust. It isimportant to be open-mindedto options and possibilities.

Families can also take stepsto make their home safer.Some of the most commonlocations for falls are door-ways, cluttered hallways,areas with heavy traffic, bath-rooms and stairs. Simple stepsto prevent in-home falls in-clude removing throw rugs orensuring floor coverings aresecured with a non-skid back-ing and installing lighting atthe top and bottom of stair-cases. It’s also important tosecure electrical and phonecords out of walkways, and toremove tripping hazards like

paper, boxes, toys and clothesfrom stairs and walkways.

For additional support andto increase safety for seniorswho may have already experi-enced a fall or have been in-jured, homemodifications maybecome beneficial. For ex-ample, grab bars can be in-stalled in kitchens and bath-rooms, doorways can be wid-ened, and step-free entrancescan be constructed.

The important thing to re-member is that falling does nothave to be a part of gettingolder. There are easy steps thatcan be taken to prevent falls,and to make your home a safeplace.

If you’re not sure where tostart, consider calling a Certi-fied Aging in Place Specialist(CAPS). Whole HomeMod-ifications’ CAPS offer freein-home consultations.

OH: 17761 KY: HM04951

Emma Savarese was bornwith a short femur, no ante-rior cruciate ligament, and abadly deformed left hip onJuly 19, 1999. Without cor-rective surgery, her left legwas likely to be 10 inches

shorter than her right leg at maturity.At age 15, on Sunday, Aug. 3, she

jumped off Alcatraz Island into the icywaves of the San Francisco Bay andswammore than 1.5 miles to Chrissy FieldBeach at Presidio Park next to the GoldenGate Bridge. She stepped out of the waterfirst among all females, first in her swimonly category, and fifth overall out of 257total competitors in the Alcatraz Chal-lenge Swim that day. Being in the water ismore than a swim for the Miami Town-ship teen.

“I liked it because I was always oncrutches,” Savarese said. “Then I couldswim and not worry about it.”

Swimming was freedom for her; anopportunity to cast aside the crutches andbe just like her friends in the pool. Thehard part for Emma came whenever shecould not swim. Surgeries, 22 of them,came early and often. It began when shewas only a year old. Doctors at Shriner’sHospital in Louisville recommended toher parents amputating her foot and fus-ing her knee to create a good stump for aprosthetic leg.

“At the time, we thought it was ridicu-lous,” said Emma’s mom, Molly Savarese.

While they know now, that can be thebest recommendation in many similarcases, Molly and Chris Savarese went tothe doctor with a different request fortheir daughter.

“We went to the doctor and said makethat leg longer,” said Emma’s dad, ChrisSavarese.

Because Emma’s lower leg was intactand could bear weight, a limb lengtheningoption gave them hope. It was relativelynew and unproven at the time. Emma hadher first surgery at 18 months old. Shewas in a body cast for two months.

“They made me eat on the floor,” Em-ma recalled.

There really was no other way to getfood to her all sprawled out. It was a “su-per hip reconstruction” which basicallymeant hip replacement. They used herhip, cut off the top, repositioned it, boltedit back on and reconstructed her pelvis.

“It was major,” Chris said. “Anotherone was the ACL. They took a piece of herquadriceps muscle, stripped it back, ranit through her knee, tied it up and createdthe ACL that way.”

Over the next 10 years, Emma endured21more surgeries including hip recon-structions, knee reconstructions, limblengthening procedures, and a procedureto actually slow the growth in her rightleg. Most surgeries were performed byDr. Dror Paley at the Paley AdvancedLimb Lengthening Institute in West PalmBeach, Florida. Most recovery was awayfrom home, family and friends with pain-ful physical therapy.

“It was hard, especially when we hadto live in Florida,” Emma said. “I couldn’tswim and I couldn’t see friends.”

Chris had to travel for work. Molly hadto be home with Emma’s brothers. Thank-fully her parents – Emma’s grandparents– helped by staying with Emma in Florida.

“Emotionally, it was just a tough road,”Molly said.

Emma started competitive swimmingwith a summer swim team at six years-old. She advanced to year-round competi-tion, through different levels. She went tothe blocks on crutches, was disqualifiedfrom butterfly competitions because herfeet didn’t match – a requirement for herfavorite butterfly stroke. Never quit,she’s in her third year with the CincinnatiMarlins swimming at the senior level.Keeping up has been her toughest chal-lenge. She continues to swim.

“With all the surgeries, it was hard toget back into it,” she said.” All my friendsgot faster and I had to start over. Thatwas hard.”

Many others would, but Emma nevergave up, she swims, not just swims, butcompetes.

“By then I was really competitive,”Emma said. “I always wanted to get backinto it. I wanted to keep swimming so Icould play a sport.”

Savarese did more than play. She in-spired others. She actively competedwhile enduring multiple surgeries, racingwhile wearing a “fixator” five poundbulky limb lengthening device screwedinto her bones in 13 different locations.Photos of her are on the brochures for themedical device. Dr. Paley lined his officewalls with her photos to encourage hisother patients.

Emma’s leg was lengthened by fourinches. The difference between her twolegs is just under two inches. In a coupleyears, when she is at full skeletal maturi-ty, Emma could have a final year-long

lengthening procedure. For now, gettingon a ferry boat to Alcatraz for the Aug. 3swim with 250 swimmers and runnersmade her most nervous.

“I didn’t really know what to do,” shesaid about her first open water race. Shefinished first in her category beaten onlyby top level tri-athletes. She’ll be racingin the pool for the Marlins and UrsulineAcademy this season. “I really like to beinspiring to others.”

Milder summer tem-peratures combined withtimely wind patterns andcloud cover have helpedkeep ozone levels downthroughout southwestOhio for the past twoozone seasons.

While favorableweather is one aspect ofachieving healthy airquality, industrial pollu-tion controls and conser-vation habits also play avital role in our region’simproving air quality.

This is the first time inthe Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency’s 20-yearsmog alert program thatthe agency did not issue asmog alert for two con-secutive ozone seasons. Asmog alert is issued theday before the agencyexpects to see levels ofair pollution that areunhealthy for sensitivegroups such as children,the elderly and peoplewith asthma, bronchitis

and other respiratoryproblems. Pollutants arereported using the airquality index (AQI)which is a standardized,color-coded guide withhealth-based criteria toadvise citizens on theirregion’s daily air qualityconditions.

Ozone season beginsApril 1 and concludesOct. 31 annually in Ohio.Ozone is a secondary air

pollutant that formswhen nitrogen oxides(NOx) combine withvolatile organic com-pounds (VOCs) in thepresence of heat andsunlight. The nature ofsouthwest Ohio’s weatherpatterns and the OhioRiver Valley topographymake the region suscep-tible to elevated ozonelevels, especially duringthe summer.

2 consecutive years without smog alert

Thanksgiving isalready on mymind, and judging

from the requests I’mreceiving, apparently onsome of your minds, too.Hasn’t the year flown

by? Iknow thiscan be astressfultime, aswell, es-pecially ifyou’rehosting aholidaydinner. Soas I tellyou every

year, remember, it’s notjust about the food, butwho shares it with you.Don’t worry if every-thing doesn’t come outjust right (as long asI’ve been cooking, ithappens to me, too).Parsley and whippedcream are foolproofculinary band-aids!

It’s a good time tocheck your dry spicesand herbs. Do the snifftest and if you can’tsmell a good aroma,your food won’t be sea-soned properly. Toss itout and buy new. Writethe month and year onthe container, as a yearfrom opening is gener-ally the shelf life forherbs and spices inground or leaf form.

Another tip is togather your servingpieces, utensils, etc. acouple days ahead oftime. Put a sticky noteon the serving pieces soyou know what goes intothem. That way, if some-one is helping in thekitchen, there’s nochance of somethinggoing into the wrongserving piece.

Lighter Kentuckyhot browns

For the Afton readerwho lost her recipe andtold me: “I like to makehot brown sandwicheswith leftover turkey.The recipe that I useisn’t the original recipefrom the Brown hotel,and my sauce has Par-mesan cheese instead ofRomano and whole milkinstead of whippingcream.”

4 thick slices whitebread

About 1 pound roast-ed turkey, cut in thickor thin slices, whateveryou like

3 plum tomatoes,sliced

8 slices bacon,cooked

Preheat broiler about6” from heat. Toastbread slices until gold-en. Arrange in 4sprayed baking dishes.Divide turkey amongthem on top of bread,pour Mornay sauceover, and sprinkle withParmesan.

Broil until bubblyand golden. Top withtomatoes and bacon andsprinkle with morecheese.

Mornay sauce1 stick butter1/3 cup flour3 to 3-1/2 cups milkSalt and pepper to

taste1/2 cup shredded

Parmesan plus extra forgarnish

Melt butter in panover medium heat.Whisk in flour and cook,whisking constantly,about a minute. Thistakes the raw flourflavor out. Graduallywhisk in 3 cups milk.Bring to a boil and cook,whisking constantly,until thickened, a couplemore minutes. If toothick, add more milk.Remove from heat andwhisk in salt and pepperand cheese.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

Parmegiano Reggia-no is the best cheese touse, since it melts well.Save the rind and freezeto add to soups & stews.

Curried pumpkinsoup three ways

I like this plain butwill let guests helpthemselves to either aswirl of maple syrup orapple relish on top. Suit-able for diabetics ifeating plain and usinglower fat dairy andsugar sub. I always addmore curry, too.

3/4 cup minced onion1 teaspoon Canola oil2 cups chicken or

vegetable broth1-1/2 cups canned

pumpkin1 tablespoon lemon

juice1 teaspoon curry

powder or more to taste1 teaspoon sugar or

equivalent sub1/2 teaspoon saltDash pepper1/2 cup whipping

creamAdd oil to pot and

sauté onion until tenderbut not brown. Addbroth, pumpkin, juice,curry, sugar, salt & pep-per and bring to boil.

Reduce heat; cover andsimmer 15 minutes.Puree batches in blend-er or processor or use ahand blender. Stir incream; heat through.Adjust seasonings.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

You can use low fator fat free half & half orevaporated milk

RelishMix together and

adjust seasonings aftermixing.

Internet dating hasbecome big business butit can also lead to bigfinancial as well as emo-tional heartache.

A Cincinnati womannamed Cathy joined anonline dating service andwas contacted by amannamed Paul. He claimedto own his own businessand have homes in Indi-ana, California, and Lon-

don.She says after corre-

spondingwith him for awhile he sent her pic-tures. Then, she says, “Itwasn’t very long afterthat he asked formoney. Ididn’t send any, not goingto.”

Cathy says shechecked on the internetand found awebsite thatcontains copies of all the

emails she had receivedfromPaul – so she knewhewas a fraud.

She’s not the only oneto receive such emails.Barbara, fromElsmere,wroteme to say amanwith whom she had beencorresponding also start-ed asking formoney.

Barbarawrites, “Hepromises to come and seeme, and that he lovesme.

My prob-lem is Idon’t thinkhe’s work-ing alone…He saysheworkson oil rigs,then hesays hehasn’tgotten paidfor his contract and needsmoney to get home andthen come here. Now hesays he’s in Scotland andneeds $3,000 to get alawyer to sign his papersto get his contractmoneyso he can come here.”

Bothwomen tell methey just want the letterwriters to be caught.Barbara says she haspictures of him and hismother and daughter –but then realizes hemayactually be using some-one else’s pictures.

Fortunately thesewomen didn’t send outanymoney, but the OhioAttorneyGeneral sayshe’s receivedmore than40 complaints involvingthese so-called “sweet-heart scams.” The aver-age reported loss, hesays, ismore than$26,000.

All the scammerswork the sameway inthat they spend timedeveloping a relationshipwith their victims beforethey starting asking formoney. The victims thinkthey are helping someonethey care about and getcaught up emotionallyand financially.

Usually the victimwillbe asked to wire themon-ey and, if they do, it’snearly impossible to re-cover the funds. TheAttorneyGeneral’s officesaysmost of themoney
