A three-alarm fire caused about $350,000 damage to a Hartwell apartment complex Saturday afternoon.

        A paramedic crew attending to a diabetic woman nearby reported heavy smoke coming from the 5000 block of David Court around 4 p.m., said District Fire Chief Jerry Lautz.

        Although seven apartments were damaged in the Williamsburg complex — and nearly all those units were occupied at the time of the blaze — everyone escaped without injury, District Chief Lautz said. All the displaced occupants have found other places to stay.

        The cause of the fire had not been determined.

Panel discusses issues of terrorism
               Several professors and experts on the Middle East told about 200 University of Cincinnati—Clermont students Friday that the Taliban don't represent most Afghans, so we shouldn't view all of them as radicals.

        Understanding that and other realities could help America prevent attacks, they said.

        “Terrorism is not something Americans have to learn to live with, but it's something we have to learn to deal with,” said Dr. James Westheider, professor of African-American history at UC-Clermont.

        Guest speaker Dr. Edward Bridgeman, an adviser for CBS Television, predicted that it will be very difficult to find the terrorists responsible for the attacks on the United States.
