Steve Sprovach, theclub’s vice president,said the new facility isvery accommodating,but the extra commuteturned some longtimemembers away.

“(At Blue Ash) youwere always a pilotwhether you were flyingor not – itwas kind of likea big family,” she said.“Youcan’t find that again– not like we had it – it’sreally sad.”

SYCAMORE JUNIOR HIGHPRINCIPAL’S HONOR ROLL

Cincinnati-based author AndreaCheng recently talked with theMount Notre Dame freshman classabout her book, “Marika.”

“Marika,” set in Hungary from1935 to 1945, portrays the life of thetitle character who witnesses theapproach ofWorldWar II and expe-riences the repressive influence ofthe Nazis on her family and in hercommunity. The book raises impor-tant issues about religious toler-ance and societal pressure as wellas family values and personalchoices.

Thepresentationwasparticular-ly significant becauseMaryKartal,Cheng’s mother and the inspirationfor the story, was in attendance andaddressed the audience as well.Bothwomenfieldedquestions fromthe audience and shared stories re-lated to the book.

“It was a dramatic and inspiringexperienceforourstudents, as theybasically got tomeet themain char-acter of the book they just read,”

MND’s Donna Groene said. “His-torically, it provides studentswithalink to someone who experiencedthe terror of theHolocaust at about

the same age, which gave them anew perspective and understand-ing.”

SYCAMORE TWP. —A Great-er Miami Conference leaguevolleyball championship haseluded Sycamore High Schoolfor 11 years.

For seven of the last eightseasons, theLakotas (WestandEast) have dominated theGMC scene. The man incharge of wrestling awaysome hardware for the Greenand Gold is Greg Ulland.

Once the head coach of twoschools (MoellerboysandSyc-amore girls), Ulland nowheads up the LadyAves exclu-sively during the prep season.His impressive resume in-cludes nine state titles.

He won one as a player;four as an assistant at power-houseMountNotreDame; andfour as Moeller’s head coach.He hopes to see his name en-graved on another in the nearfuture.

“That’s definitely in theplan,”Ullandsaid. “That’swhyI’m here.”

The Lady Aves started theseasonwith a fourgamewinatLoveland.TheLadyTigers fellin the postseason last year toeventual state champion Ur-suline.

“They’re great - the gamehas gone four or five (games)every year,” Ulland said. “It’sa great out-of-conferencegame. This year we play ev-eryone in the ECC except forMilford and Walnut Hills. Ithink they (Loveland) couldwin the league.”

Outside of the always-tough GMC, the Lady Avestake on the best of the GirlsGreater Catholic League, aswell asDivision II powerWyo-ming.

Leading the charge for Syc-

amore is senior libero KaraMarth. Ulland considers herone of the best around, eventhough she’s not a full-timevolleyball player.

“It’s great to have herback,” Ulland said. “She stillhas another level. She’s a la-crosse player in the offseason.Her touch improves as theyear goes. She’s just so fastand competitive and smart.”

The Cole sisters are alsopart of the Lady Aves arsenal.Senior Laura Cole is Ulland’s6-foot middle blocker.

“She was hurt for 85 per-cent of our season last year,”Ulland said. “We played SetonandKingswith her in the statetournament and she was awe-some. She was our best offen-sive player in the state tourna-ment.”

Julia Cole is just an inchshorter than Laura, but unfor-tunately has been sidelinedwith crutches in the early go-

got them in our favor.“He also did some

things thatwill get himanearful when we watchfilms thisweekend, too. Ifhe wasn’t a three-yearvarsity starter, we proba-blywouldn’t saya thing tohim, but we have veryhigh expectations for himand he’s going to have towork to get to those.”

Osborne knows.“As a quarterback I

had a pretty good game,”he said. “There’s still a lotto work on. We need towork on our run game alittle, our sprint outs -both the routes and thethrows - a lot of things.There’s always room forimprovement.”

Which isexactlyoneofthe things Osborne en-joys about playing quar-terback.

“I like the leadershiprole I’ve been given,” hesaid.“AsaseniorIwantto

rushing and a receivingtouchdown.

“It was a lot of fun tocome out and have a goodgame like that,” Osbornesaid. “We have a lot ofguysreturninganditkindof showed tonight. Weworkeda lot in theoffsea-son on our timing and ourdelivery andwe did somegood things.”

Head coach Eric Tay-lor praised his quarter-back, but not too much.

“Connerdidsomereal-lynice thingsout there to-night,” Taylor said. “Hemade some reads,checked us out of someplays, did some things totake advantage of thenumbers he saw. That’swhat we always talkabout is numbers, and he

lead anyway, but as aquarterback, I can auto-matically push my team-matesharder, toplayfast-er, to make a play. That’swhat I like.”

And Taylor - for themost part - liked what hesawfrombothOsborne inparticular and the Eaglesin general

“The word this weekwas ‘selfless’ and that’swhatIsawtoday,”hesaid.“We can do great thingswith this football team.Wejusthave tokeepplug-ging ahead.

“This is a great envi-ronment for our guys.Wegot our starters workingtogether. We got ouryoungguys-a lotoffresh-men and sophomores -some varsity playingtime. We won. It was fun.

“It’s one step. It’s oneopponent. But it’s a goodfirst step moving for-ward.”

CHCAContinued from Page A5

Only a select few Divi-sion III football programshave reached a pointwhere a 7-3 record androut of their biggest rivalis considered a disap-pointing season.

Thomas More Collegefinished 6-2 in the Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence, but those two earlyseason losses preventedthe Saints from earning afifth straight playoffberth.Asix-gamewinningstreak to close out the sea-son was encouraging, but2012wasstill adisappoint-ment for a program thathas established itself as aperennial top 25 team.

“When I think about it,it is good that we havesuch high expectations,”said head coach Jim Hil-vert. “Whenyousetastan-dard like that, when youexpect at least nine winsand a PAC championship,less than that is not goodenough.”

The silver lining to lastyear was that the seniorswere the first class inyears to end the seasonwith a win. Consistentlyqualifyingfortheplayoffsmeans that, unless theSaints win the 32-teamtournament and StaggBowl championship, theyend the seasonwith a loss.Last year, the Saints got tofinish the season by set-ting all kinds of records ina 75-6 Bridge Bowl vic-tory over rival College ofMount St. Joseph.

“Everybody was hun-grytofinishoff theseasonon a high note,” said soph-omore free safety KyleFuller (Holy Cross).

Fuller is one of severalyoung starters on bothsides of the ball this year.He has learned from theupperclassmen who wereonceinhispositionandex-pects to step into a leader-ship role in just his secondseason at ThomasMore.

“The coaches do agoodjob of preparing you for aleadershiprole,” saidFull-er,who ledHolyCross to astate championship twoyears ago. “Last year’sseniors left a legacy thatmade the programwhat itis and they really pushedus underclassmen tomake us better.”

The veteran leaders ofthe defense will help thenew starters adjust. De-fensive backs Jake Fish-

burn (Elder) and AlexTaylor (Elder) and line-man Tyler Combs (High-lands) provide seniorleadership on the other-wise young defense.

“We are young on de-fense, but very fast,” saidHilvert. “This is oneof themost athletic defensesI’ve had.”

The offense is led bythe return of junior run-ning back DominiqueHayden from injury andanother year of experi-ence for sophomore quar-terback JensenGebhardt,who went 6-1 after takingover as the starter lastyear.

Thomas More has al-ways benefited from apipeline of local talentfrom both sides of the riv-er, but the recent rise ofNorthern Kentucky pro-grams like Cooper andCampbell County has pro-vided the Saintswith evenmore talented playerswho are accustomed towinning.

“With the talent wehave around here, it’s ahuge addition,” said Hil-vert.

The Saints open theseason on Sept. 7 at Capi-tal University. The homeopener is Sept. 28 againstWaynesburg University.The team is eager to getback to the playoffs andhopes to avoid last year’sslow start.

“We have some reallygood leaders,” said Hil-vert. “We’re excited to getback on the field and com-pete.”

On four different eve-nings this autumn, girlsteams from GSSA willparticipate alongside thehighly rankedLadyAves,Cougars and Lions withpre-game introductions,act as ball girls for thegames atMNDandUrsu-line, and hold a half timescrimmage at Sycamore.

Admission is waivedfor any boy or girl GSSAplayer who wears his/herjersey to the Sycamoregames ($4 for childrennot in a GSSA jersey and$6 for adults), and thereare no admission chargesat MND or Ursuline (stillwear your GSSA jerseysto show your pride).

Dates, times and loca-tions are as follows:

»Mount Notre Dame(No. 2 ranking in the city)vs. St. Ursula Academy(No. 3), 7 p.m., Wednes-day,Sept.4.MNDplaysatSchuler Park which is lo-cated at 11532 Deerfield

Road in Sycamore Town-ship between Kemperand the I-275 overpass.Bringing chairs or blan-kets is recommendeddueto limitedbleacherspace.

» Sycamore HighSchool (No. 16) vs. Mason(No. 1), 7 p.m., Sept. 17, atSycamore High SchoolVarsity Field at the highschool

»Ursuline Academy(No. 8)vs.MotherofMer-cy, 7 p.m., Sept. 18, atGrooms Field A locatedat the Blue Ash SportsCenter,11540GroomsRd.Bringing chairs or blan-kets is recommendeddueto limitedbleacherspace.

» Sycamore HighSchool (No.16)vs.Prince-ton, 7 p.m., Sept. 24, atSycamore High SchoolVarsity Field at the highschool.

In recent years theseprograms have sent theirplayers off to such Divi-sion 1 programs as: Wis-consin, UNC, Indiana,Virginia, Ole Miss, Ala-bama, UC, Xavier, UD,Akron, Denison, Butlerand Kentucky.

Theprimarygoals are:to increase the exposureof the great local highschool girls’ programs,especially to new audi-

ences, and to inspire theyoung ladies playing soc-cer in theGSSAleaguebygetting them involved,walking on the varsityfields under the brightlights, and togeta tasteofwhat may be for them inthe future.

In the past, the GSSAcoordinated exclusivelywith Sycamore HighSchool for one varsitygame during the season.

This year, the desirewas to incorporate theother local high schoolswhere many of the play-ers in GSSA end up at-tending.

At Sycamore HighSchool the U8 Passers di-vision (girls 6 & 7 yearsold) “escort” the varsityteam to midfield duringpre-game introductions,then play a mini-scrim-mage at halftime underthebig lights– thatscrim-mage occurs after thegirls are individually in-troduced over the loud-speaker to the fans.CoachKendraHornsche-meier has been on thefield tomeet the girls pri-or to pre-game introduc-tions and brings the var-sity girls over to thescrimmage area and hasher varsity girls give a

big cheer to the littlegirls.

At MND the GSSA in-volve ourU10Wings divi-sion (girls 8 and 9 yearsold). The girls will escortthe varsity team to mid-field during pre-game in-troductions, act as ball-girls on the sideline forthe game, and be intro-duced at halftime.

At Ursuline Academythe plan is very similarwith the U10 Wings in-volvement: escorting thevarsity team and assist-ing the JV team as ball-girls.

A publication of

Mr. Kasich got off to a rocky startas governor of our state.

He antagonized the media at hisinauguration. He passed legislationallowing guns in bars – alcohol andguns don’t mix – and he was soundlybeaten by a mix of Democrats and

blue collar Repub-licans on the when hetried to limit collec-tive bargaining rightsin the public sector.His popularity in thefall of 2011was aboutas low as a snake’sbelly.

Recently, however,he has shown that henot only can change,but that he has a fun-

damental understanding of the rea-sons why the Republican Party isunpopular with many. He has evenfound a formula for reaching out toDemocrats and independents, whichwill undoubtedly not only help himwin re-election but boost support forthe GOP. If he can do both of thosethings, he stands a chance to be in therunning for the White House in 2016,whether the far right likes it or not.

How has Mr. Kasich pulled this off?There are three basic reasons. First,he has shown genuine compassion forthe poor, the sick and the downtrod-den. His efforts to increase Medicaidcoverage (which would be paid for, tothe tune of 90 percent by 2020, by thefederal government anyway) to thou-sands of Ohioans including 26,000veterans and thousands more withmental illnesses, is both sensible andcommendable. He has met with stiffresistance from conservatives, but

has stuck to his principles.Secondly, he has cut taxes and pro-

duced a surplus in the state. He hasbeen relentless about cutting ex-penses and giving businesses incen-tives to grow in Ohio. He understandsthat you have to grow your tax base,not grow your taxes. That is a lessonthat Washington needs to learn, and IhopeMr. Kasich can take it there oneday.

Finally, he has seen the hypocrisy. Iunderstand he has deep Christianvalues that stress compassion forthose less fortunate, a respect for life(he has commuted four death sen-tences, as well as Right to Life issues)and forgiveness. He has supportedefforts to reform convicts and educa-tion alike. In short, he has read the 10Commandments. I am not a formallyreligious man, but I like the fact hehas applied commonly understood,compassionate, Judeo-Christian prin-ciples to his work. He hasn’t twistedthe Bible to suit his agenda.

To his conservative critics I haveone thing to say: The train is leavingthe station. Start running, you mightstill get on board. The relentlessdrumbeat of “no”, the litany of narrowminded opinions on anything frommarriage to workers rights to im-migration, have cost you two Presi-dential elections and will cost you thenext one as well - unless you embracenewer and fairer values.

It’s time to recognize that Amer-icans want a fiscally competent, com-passionate, fair, and above all, func-tioning government. Mr. Kasich getsthat.

Bruce Healey is a resident of Indian Hill.

Hey GOP!Kasich gets it!

Bruce HealeyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Concerts, re-enactments, a roadrace - are these appropriate ways toobserve the 150th anniversary ofMorgan’s Raid? Should Ohio havespent $312,000 tax dollars for signs tocreate the Morgan Heritage Trail? Isit appropriate to celebrate/commem-orate an event that terrorized Ohio-ans, killed eight civilians and cost thestate nearly $1 million? These ques-tions are being asked by Ohioans.

The raid was cer-tainly a part of Ohio’sCivil War experience.But does it warrant allof this attention? Ohiowas critically impor-tant to the Union wareffort. There were360,000 men whoserved; 150-plus re-ceived the Medal ofHonor; there were 100Ohio generals, among

them Grant, Sherman and Sheridan -the Union’s best. Our farms and fac-tories poured out an endless flood ofessential products. Ohioans EdwinStanton (Secretary of War) andSalmon Chase (Secretary of Trea-sury) served at important posts inAbraham Lincoln’s cabinet.

The president even said he wouldrather lose a major battle than losethe governorship of Ohio in 1863.Shouldn’t we be celebrating Ohio’spivotal role in saving the Union rath-er than getting caught up in the hoop-la of what was ultimately a failure?

I wondered how Georgia was goingto portray Sherman’s March to theSea. Though similar superficially, the“raids” differed greatly in scope,purpose and effect. Sherman’s Marchwas a sanctioned, 60,000-man, 300-mile-long, 60-mile-wide operationdesigned to damage the Confedera-cy’s war-making ability and destroy

its will to fight. It accomplished itsobjective by causing $100,000,000 indamage ($1.4 billion in 2010 dollars).By making Georgia howl, Shermanshortened the war.

Georgia Historical Society CEOTodd Groce told me the state will beinstalling two markers - one at eachend - that will put the March intoperspective by telling readers theMarch’s purpose was to shorten thewar and civilian property damagewas unintentional.

He said this was part of a largereffort to introduce a modern schol-arship to a topic long obscured by themyths of the Lost Cause. One of thosecherished myths was that Georgiaseceded from the Union because ofState’s Rights. By quoting the actualwords of the state’s Secession Decla-ration on a new marker, Georgiansnow know the reason was to preserveslavery. Other unknown stories suchas women’s food riots, Georgia Union-ists and captured colored troops be-ing re-enslaved are told on new mark-ers.

Georgia is wedding this new per-spective with new technology. All ofthe state’s nearly1,000 road markersare being loaded onto a searchabledigital database (wwww.georgiahisto-ry.com), complete with mapping thatwill allow travelers to personalizetheir trip itinerary. It also may beaccessed by a new smart phone app.

Dr. Groce said he hopes their ef-forts will show Georgians that thewar was fought to preserve the Unionand destroy slavery and open a publicdiscussion about “vexing questions”such as “state’s rights, power andrace” that still “face us in our questto form a more perfect union.”

Is it right to ‘commemorate’Gen. Morgan’s Raid?

Gary KneppCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Aug. 28 questionShould fans at sporting events have to

conform to a “code of conduct”? Whattypes of behavior should be regulated?

“A code of conduct is imperative atsporting events along with other largegatherings such as concerts. This is espe-cially true when alcohol is involved. TheReds have recently cracked down cer-tain over the line fans. The Bengals havetheir ‘Jerk Line’ for fans to call or textabout intrusive behavior. They also havecameras that can seek out these actions.The Bengals annual home game versusPittsburgh features at least 10,000 Steel-ers fans scattered throughout the stadi-um thanks to eBay and Stub Hub. Thiscreates confrontations for fans hoping tojust watch the game. Fans that are ob-noxious, profane, lewd etc should beshown the exit and suspended from at-tending future games for at least oneyear. Watching from home on a HDTVwith replay and the Red Zone sure solvesthese obtrusive fan problems and saves alot of money. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

“Yes, sports fans' behavior should beregulated at events. With families aroundand small kids present, profanity anddrunken or sober obnoxiousness shouldnot be tolerated. Those aren't really theproblem; the 'jerk line' takes care of thatbecause ushers and officers will comeand eject serious troublemakers.

“The problem is when opposing fanscome to an away game and scream,drink, and bullyrag home-team fans.Adding alcohol can make things get uglyquickly. Maybe we can pass a new cityordinance to make them stay in Pitts-burgh!"

TRog

“Whatever rules the venue establishesshould be published, posted, and evenprinted on the tickets. This way fansknow what's expected. Then it's up to the

fans to decide if they want to attend ornot. If attendance suffers, I'm sure therules would be adjusted.”

P.C.

“If the players on the fields abide tothe code of conduct, so should the fans,on all levels. Fans, especially sidelineparents, forget this is the sports playersgame, not theirs.”

O.R.

“Do we really need a code of conductto act with consideration, dignity andrespect around our fellow human beingsand their children? Stay reasonably so-ber, refrain from foul language, don'tspill food or drink on other people or intotheir space. In other words, be consider-ate of others around you who paid forseats and are also entitled to watch thegame just like you are.”

F.S.D.

“Yes, fans should conform to a code ofconduct be it a youth, high school, col-lege or pro game. Ideally it should beself-imposed where people conductthemselves in a respectful manner tothose around them, players on the fieldand coaches and officials. Don't make ascene, don't embarrass or belittle any-one. Treat others as you would prefer tobe treated.

“That being said, I don't realisticallything a code of conduct works for allpeople. There are always a few that arean embarrassment to the human race. If

at all possible they should be asked toleave if self-control is beyond their com-mand.

“Hate to say it but some people feelthe need (maybe its empowerment forthose who feel taken advantage in life) tomake a jerk out of themselves. Givethem their money back ... suggest thatthey stay away.”

T.B.

“Fans at any type of event are sharingthe stadium or arena with thousands ofother people. These people often rangefrom children to grandparents. It is ev-ery person's responsibility to behave in away that does not disrupt or offend. Ev-eryone should be able to enjoy the gameand express their enthusiasm withoutspoiling it for those around them. Dounto others ...”

R.V.

“Some behavior is not acceptable.Most is during a 'sporting' event. Afterall the players all have shown non-ac-ceptable behavior!

“Do not interfere with others space.No physical contact. But yelling for oragainst a team is OK. Control your lan-guage to what you would say to yourgrandmother! (I know there are somegrandmothers it would not bother).”

W.B.B.

“The fans at sporting events should begrown up enough to be able regulatetheir own behavior and not infringe uponothers.

“That means NO swearing, spitting(tobacco juice included), hitting, block-ing the view, spilling of beverages onothers, lewd T-shirts, drunken conduct,throwing up or belching. But isn't thatwhat your mother taught you anyway?

“Use the manners that your motherwould approve of and all would be fine.Unless your mother swore, hit, spit, gotdrunk ... oh well.”

J.B.

Comments from local lead-ers about issues in the news:

Second opinion“The Affordable Care Act is

neither affordable nor providesadequate care for Americans.As a physician, I know ourhealth care system is broken,but Washington meddling onlymakes it worse. No law shouldinsert a government bureau-crat between a patient and theirdoctor. The president’s healthcare law puts too much controlin the hands of the federal gov-ernment, creating a complexsystem that emphasizes gov-ernment intrusion over actualpatient care.”

–U.S.Rep.BradWenstrup onwhy he voted for the full repealof President Obama’s Afford-able Care Act

A bad statement“Budgets express our state’s

priorities, and these are miser-able. This budget prioritizesmillionaires and leaves themid-dle class behind.

“We had an opportunity tocreate a targeted middle classtax cut and invest in education,police and fire. But instead itcreates an unfair tax shift thatregressively penalizes the mid-dle class, elderly and poor. Itcodifies a school funding sys-tem that short-changes ourkids, fails to restore financialsupport for our schools, andputs our state’s future prosper-ity at risk – and it is still uncon-stitutional.”

Dishes

Whenmy kids wereyoung our lives werebusy, but nowhere nearhow busy their lives arenow that they’re grown

with fam-ilies oftheir own.The re-quests I’vegotten thisweek tellme a lot ofyou are inthe samesituation.Readerswant easy

main dishes (pasta beingthe most popular) andhealthy snacks. So hereare two of my favorites.

Sausage lasagnausing uncookednoodles

For Darren, a WesternHills reader who saw asausage lasagna recipe ina magazine at the doc-tor’s office. He said: “Itcalled for uncooked noo-dles. I didn’t want to tearthe recipe out, but itlooked so good.” Here’sone frommy files. Thereare special “no-cook”lasagna noodles you canbuy. Leftovers can befrozen and microwavedto reheat.

1pound favorite sausage26-32 oz. favorite pastasauce

3⁄4 cup water2 eggs, beaten lightly11⁄2 pounds (24 oz.) cottagecheese

1⁄2 cup Parmesan1⁄2 teaspoon each: garlicpowder, dried basil andoregano

9 uncooked lasagna noodles3 cups mozzarella

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Cook sausage.Drain. Stir in sauce andwater. Simmer 10 min-utes. Combine eggs, cot-tage cheese, Parmesanand seasonings. Spread 1⁄2cup meat sauce intosprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan. Layer with threenoodles, a third of cheesemixture, meat sauce andmozzarella. Repeat twice.Cover and bake 45 min-utes. Uncover, bake 10minutes longer or untilnoodles are tender. Letstand 15 minutes beforeserving.

Tip: Use a combo of

beef and sausage, all beefor turkey sausage.

No-bakegrain/gluten-freepower bars

Daughter-in-law Jessfound this on the JoyfulAbode site. This is a pro-tein-packed bar for kidsand adults alike. Greatfor packing into kids’lunch boxes, too and Ilike the fact that they’regrain/gluten free. I cannever eat just one. I re-named the recipe to fitmy slight adaptation.Check out Joyful site forstep-by-step photos andmy blog for more powerbar recipes.

21⁄2 cups favorite nuts andseeds (I usedmixed nuts,flax and hemp seeds)

1 cup dried fruit (I useddried Michigan cherries,chopped)

2 cups shredded coconut1⁄4 cup coconut oil1⁄2 cup honey (I used rawhoney)

1 tablespoon vanilla1⁄4 teaspoon saltCinnamon to taste

Roughly chop 1 cup ofnuts and seeds. Place inbowl. Process remainingnuts and seeds in proces-sor, or by hand, to make afiner chop. Add to bowl.Add fruit and coconut.Pour oil, honey, vanilla,salt and cinnamon in panand, over low heat, cookuntil it boils gently, thenpour over fruit mixtureand blend. Pour intosprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan that has been linedwith sprayed foil orparchment. Press mix-ture evenly into pan.Press real hard so mix-ture sticks together. Putplastic wrap on top tomake pressing downeasier. Cool completelyand cut into bars. Can befrozen up to threemonths.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Don’t have coconut oil,which is a healthy oil? Ibelieve a vegetable orolive oil will work, it justwon’t have that extraelement of flavor.

Tips from readers’kitchens

From reader Mary-Ann G. regarding theroasted tomatoes recipes:“I roasted several peryour directions and raid-ed my herb garden forbasil, rosemary and oreg-ano. After roasting I letthem cool and removedthe skin. After choppingthem slightly, I tossedthem (along with thedelicious tomato broth)with some spinach tortel-lini and bacon. It made anamazing meal.”

Diluting concentrat-ed fruit juices for kids:Younger kids, especiallythose in sports, may ben-efit from diluted fruitjuice (make sure it’s got100 percent vitamin C).It’s easier to digest, willhydrate and provideenergy. Use at least twiceas much water as is rec-ommended on label.

We’ve all experienceit; someone comes toyour front door tryingto sell you something.But is it a good idea tobuy from a door-to-doorsalesman? One areawoman says after theexperience she’s hadshe’ll never do it again.

Jessica Jones, ofButler, Ky., says a sales-man came to her doorlast February. “We werehome and I got a knockon the door from a gen-tleman. He says he wasselling reflective signsfor your mailbox.”

The company wasselling the signs for $20

apieceand Jonesboughtone. Herreceiptsays itwas sup-posed tohave beendeliveredin March.But now,

more than four monthslater, she still didn’thave it. “Needless to sayits still not installed.I’ve called three differ-ent times and receivedpromises of them beingout to install it – but stillno sign,” Jones says.

Jones does have num-bers on her mailbox, butthey’re not reflectivenumbers so they maynot be visible at night ifsomeone calls for po-lice, fire or an ambu-lance.

That’s why she saysshe really wanted thosereflective numbers forher mailbox.

“I’m just aggravated.He took $20 from methat day with a promiseof a sign that I neverreceived. How manyother people are outthere with that samepromise that maybeeven forgot about it?”

Jones asks.A check with the

Better Business Bureaushows the company hasreceived more than adozen complaints, main-ly from people who saythey too never receivedtheir reflective signs.The BBB gives thatcompany an “F” rating.

When I told Jonesabout the Better Busi-ness Bureau report shesaid, “Wow, wow. It justgoes to show don’t everbuy anything from adoor-to-door salesman.”

Such complaints arenot at all uncommon.I’ve received many

letters from homeown-ers who paid for maga-zine subscriptions yetnever received any-thing. In one case ahomeowner did receivethe magazines but real-ized too late she hadgreatly overpaid for thesubscriptions.

In Jones’ case I con-tacted the reflectivesign company ownerwho said he was busytaking care of custom-ers to whom he hadfailed to deliver thesigns. He says he gotbehind and blamed theweather for the delay.After I called he finally

did get the sign put onJones’ mailbox.

So, what should youdo if a salesman comesknocking on your door?You could refuse to buy,as Jones has vowed. Or,if you’re interested inthe product, I suggestyou go ahead and placeyour order. But, just aswith Girl Scout cookies,don’t pay until theyreturn with the product.

Drs. Megan McLaneand Maggie Schuckman,board-certified veteri-nary cardiologists at theCareCenter, 6995E.Kem-per Road, performed aminimally-invasive, ad-vanced life-saving cardi-acprocedureonMaggie, a4-month-old Labrador re-triever dog, May 22.

Maggie was born witha congenital defect of herheart called a patent duc-tus arteriosis (PDA).McLane and Schuckmanperformed an intravascu-lar amplatz canine ductaloccluder (ACDO) deploy-ment procedure on thedog, effectively curingthe otherwise terminalcondition.

“PDA has traditionallybeen fixed with surgery,but this minimally inva-sive technique allows usto repair the conditionwithout thepatienthavingto have her chest openedsurgically,” Schuckmansaid. “Asyoucan imagine,the recovery from thisnon-surgical procedure ismuch faster and far morecomfortable.”

“PDA is a conditionwhere the patient has anopen fetal vessel thatshould have been shutdown shortly after birth,but which instead con-tinues to allow bloodflow,” McLane said. “Thismakes the heart muchless efficient and can leadto severe problems as thepuppy grows older.”

“We’re excited to be

able to offer this proce-dure at Care Center. Wefeel this offers puppieswithPDAtheeasiest, fast-est way to recover fromthis condition, Schuck-man said. “PDA is one ofthemost commoncongen-ital defects in dogs, sohaving an alternative tosurgery can benefit agreat number of pa-tients.”

Intravascular ACDOdeployment involvesplacing a catheter in themajor artery in the dog’sleg. Through this cathe-ter, the cardiologist hasaccess to the abnormallyopen vessel. Once in theabnormal vessel, the AC-DO device is placed, andacts as a plug.

“We’re effectivelyclosing the vessel fromthe inside,” Schuckmansaid.

The day after the pro-cedure, Maggie wasbouncing around CareCenter’s ICU.

“This procedure is oneof a number of firsts forthe Care Center in the 13years we’ve been servingthe Tristate,” said SarahTiltman, public relations

director for Care Center.“Ourgoalhasalwaysbeento offer state-of-the-artspecialty medicine forpets, but most important-ly to provide it in a waythat increases the qualityof life for both the pet andtheir human family.”

The Fresh Market willhold its19th annual “HopeFloats” Sidewalk SaleSept. 6 through Sept. 8,from11a.m. to6p.m.dailyto benefit JDRF, the lead-ing global organizationfunding type 1 diabetes(T1D) research.

EachofTheFreshMar-ket’s stores will offer hotdogs, root beer floats andice cream sundaes (regu-lar and sugar-free), eachfor a $2 donation. TheFresh Market will donate100 percent of the moneyraised over the three-daysale directly to JDRF tosupport its research ef-forts to create a worldwithout T1D.

T1D is an auto immunedisease in which the pan-creas stops producing in-sulin needed to regulatebloodglucose.T1Dstrikesboth children and adults

suddenly and is unrelatedto diet and lifestyle. It re-quires constant carbohy-drate counting, blood glu-cose testing and life-longdependence on injectedinsulin. People livingwithT1D must administer in-sulin injections topreventtoo much glucose, con-tained in carbohydrates,from entering the blood-stream.

In addition to the Side-walkSale,TheFreshMar-ket is hosting a JDRFSneaker Sale campaignthrough Sept. 8. Custom-ers can make a donationby purchasing green pa-per sneakers atTheFreshMarket’s checkoutcounters to show supportfor this worthy cause.JDRF Collection Contain-ers are also placed at eachcheckout counter.
