Roadwork

In the past week or so, we’ve had a couple of stories having to deal with Butler County roads.

The first was how a mysterious road salt shortage (that officials say is a result of a heavy winter last year) will be affecting the work of local maintenance departments.

One interesting quote from that story by Scott Bressler, operations deputy with the Butler County Engineer’s Office: “People will just have to learn how to drive on snow. They’ll just have to wait until the snow tapers off, and we plow it off. Then we’ll use the salt.”

Still, officials from West Chester and Liberty townships say they will operate normally … that is if and when the salt supplies run dry.

And here’s a story that ran in the Journal-News today about I-75 construction updates. (By the way, Kyles Station Road overpass opens today; Princeton Road overpass opens Oct. 13.)

'Quantum of Solace'[movies]

Men have curious ways of getting over a romantic betrayal. Some try avoidance. Some go on the rebound. James Bond's method, as seen in "Quantum of Solace," involves shooting, ducking, running, bleeding, locking dudes in car trunks and the massive destruction of parts of Italy and Bolivia. Obviously Daniel Craig is back as the shoot first, drink cocktails later version of 007 in the follow-up to 2006's "Casino Royale". More »

Amelia's Bistro, Bellbrook, restaurant review [review]

Call it comfort food, gourmet style. From crab raviolis with vanilla lobster sauce, to a hand-cut and brined pork chop served with a fig jam, to a simply "Big-Ass Cake" that's a chocolate lover's dream, Amelia's has the potential to become a destination restaurant — worth the drive to Bellbrook.
