Villa Hills ends civil serviceVILLA HILLS — The civil ser-

vice agreement in Villa Hills nolongerprotects newemployees,meaning a future city clerkhirewill be governed under a differ-ent set of rules than everyoneelse who works for the city.

The decision to amend civilservice came afterMayorMikeMartin’s tie-breakingvoteat theJan. 16 City Council meeting,with a newset of faces locked ina dead heat over abolishing the

measure for new employees.The vote was tied 3-3, with

Rod Baehner, Jim Cahill andAmy Balson voting againstamending civil service andHol-ly Isenhour, Brian Wischer andMary Koenig voting in favor.

“One of the challenges we’refaced with is the financial bur-den. It’s cost the city tens ofthousands of dollars to put thisin and conduct business,” Mar-tin said. “The onehearingwe’vehad was $7,000, a majority of itwas legal fees for the city.”

Villa Hills is looking to hire a

full-time city clerk andpossiblyexpand the police department,and the change allowsMartin tobethedecision-maker inthehir-ing process.

According to the KentuckyLeague of Cities, civil serviceagreements are required foremployees in first class cities.They mostly give employeesrights to a hearing, in front ofseveral people, before possibletermination.

It also limits the mayor’s au-thority to fire, hire and disci-pline employees. Under a civil

service agreement a committeeof other peoplemakes those de-cisions, City Attorney MikeDuncan previously explained.

Council members defendedtheir positions on the repeal ofcivil service before the finalvote.

“I want a city clerk in here. Ithink a lot of the problems thathappened in the past would’vestopped if we had had a cityclerk in there,” Koenig said.“He or she would’ve been goingto trainingand it’s nothingmorethanputting training on a police

officer.”Other City Council mem-

bers, like Baehner and Cahill,questioned changing civil ser-vice.

“We’re going to have civilservice for a long time, so ifyou’re talking about one em-ployee then we’re going to havea whole lot of people that aregoverned under one rule andone person that’s governed un-der a whole other system,” Ca-hill said.

PARK HILLS — Even beforeRichard Webster started work-ing for the ParkHills PoliceDe-partment, hewas helping inves-tigate criminal cases in the city.

Webster began his career inlaw enforcement with Coving-ton’s police department for 10years, during which time he

helped analyze cases in the cityof Park Hills, where he nowholds the rank of sergeant de-tective.

“We’re very lucky to havehim, and we want to let himknow how much we appreciatehaving him here,” said ParkHills Police Chief Cody Stanley,who presentedWebster with anOutstanding AchievementAward from the city during the

Jan. 14 City Council meeting.Stanley saidWebster investi-

gated more than 140 cases in2012, many of which werecleared by arrest and prosecut-ed or resolved without charges.Webster also reopened thecity’s 44 unsolved cases frombefore his tenure, and alreadyhas identified a suspect for

DETECTIVE GOES‘ABOVE AND BEYOND’By Amy [email protected]

FORT WRIGHT — KentonCounty’s students went backto school on Jan. 3, but a newguy settled into his desk forthe first time with the districton Jan. 7.

Bill Culbertson, the newestKenton County School Boardmember, started his firstterm, after being elected inNovember.

Culbertson, a CrestviewHills resident who has servedon city committees, ranagainst incumbent Mike Mar-tin,whohadserved16yearsasa board member in the coun-ty’sFifthEducationalDistrict.

BoardPresidentKarenCol-lins and Board Vice PresidentCarl Wicklund both were re-elected without opposition.

Culbertson has wanted toserve on the school board fornearly 20 years, but his wife,Diane, was a school teacher inthe district, and if he won aboard seat, she would havehad to give up her job. The2012 election was his first op-portunity to run since she leftthe district for another job,and he decided it was his turn.

Now, he callsDiane “my se-cret weapon,” counting on herexperience in schools to helphim understand them from aninside perspective. Their twochildren are both DixieHeights High School gradu-ates, so he believes he under-standsKentonCounty Schoolsfromaparent’s anda student’sperspective already.

“I alsobringabusinessper-spective. I’m a businessman,soover theyears I’vedone lotsof volunteer work that’s al-ways been aimed at public

education.That’s been myvolunteer fo-cus,” said Cul-bertson. “Iwantto see publiceducation bethe best it canbe. As a long-term resident

ofKentonCounty, I can’t thinkof any better way to spendmytime.”

Kenton SuperintendentTerri Cox-Cruey also seesCul-bertson’s business experienceas an asset for the district.

“I look forward to workingcollaborativelywithhimaswecontinue to prepare our stu-dents to successfully transi-tion to college and careers,”she said. “While only in hisnew role as boardmember fora few days, he and I have al-ready discussed the districtgoals and new measures thatwill ensure our students aresuccessful in their future lifeendeavors.”

Collins is looking forwardto Culbertson’s input as well.

“A new school board mem-ber always has new ideas anddifferent thoughts,” she said.“Bill brings to the table exper-tise in organization and man-agement.Hewill beanasset tous all.”

In his business life, Cul-bertson helped companies allover the country turn aroundfrom negative positions to fi-nancial successes.

“I have lots of ideas I’ve de-veloped during my volunteerwork over the years,” he said.“My goal is to make sure anychange I can help bring aboutis a change for the good. It’s

Billing cycles havecaused some KentonCounty Cincinnati Bellcustomers to still see 911dispatch charges on lan-dline telephonebills, feesthat will be refundednext month, according toofficials.

The $4.25 charge hasshownuponbills depend-ing on when customersreceived them, but willbe credited to accounts inFebruary, LisaMcLaugh-lin, public relations coun-sel for Cincinnati Bell,wrote in an email.

Emergency dispatchfees have been taken offof landline telephonebills because they don’tmake enough money tofund Kenton County Dis-patch. Now residentshave to pay an $85 parcelfee, for each parcel ofland they own, to covercosts.

This does not apply toresidents inErlanger andCrescent Springs, whowill continue to use Er-langer Dispatch.

Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arling-haus said his office hasgotten a few dozen callsabout the charges.

“It’s a matter of whenbilling cycles are,” Ar-linghaus said. “We’vebeen assured by all of theproviders that if they arecharged in January theywill receive a credit ontheir February bills.”

Arlinghaus said theoverlap could happenwith Insight Broadbandcustomers as well. Rep-resentatives from In-sight Broadband did notreturn requests for con-firmation by press time.

As many as 10 percentof customers in citiesthat took 911 fees off lan-dline telephone bills,which include Fort

Mitchell, Lakeside Parkand Villa Hills, still gotcharged.

“I’dventure to say thatprobably each city hasexperienced this to somedegree,”Arlinghaussaid.

An additional 12 cent911 service fee is stayingon bills though, he said,but it has nothing to dowith the county.

“That is related to 911,but that’s strictly a billthat Cincinnati Bellcharges each and everycustomer,” he said.“We’ve got a number ofcalls about it. It’s 12cents, but it’s the princi-ple of the thing.”

INDEPENDENCE —Bill Dela-ney isn’t theman he used to be.

Since starting with a per-sonal trainer in January 2012,Delaney has dropped 105pounds.

As marketing director forFive Seasons Family SportsClub in Crestview Hills, Dela-ney has seen people workingon their fitness almost everyday for the last 10 years.

When his boss suggestedmeeting for 3.5-mile walks be-fore work in the morning, De-laney realized it was time to doit for himself, as the walkswere challenging.

“I had started and stoppedmany times, but I never felt Ineeded to get in shape, and Idid not have any health issueswhich required me to loseweight,” said Delaney, wholives in Independence.

He credits his trainer,JeanneMiddleton, andher “no-nonsense/no coddling” ap-proach for his success so far.

“Bill’s right,” said Middle-ton. “If you want to be coddledand not pushed toward gettingin your best possible physicalcondition, then you don’t wantto hire me. But if you’re readyto challenge yourself, modifyyour eating habits and committo personal training with metwo to three hours per week,then let’s go.”

Middleton takes fitness se-riously. She is a 25-year nation-ally certified personal trainerwith expertise in one-on-onepersonal training, group exer-cise and specialized programsfor older adults. Her daily ritu-al begins at 5 a.m. with a two-hour cardio and strengtheningworkout before meeting with

clients at 7 a.m.Delaney said he joined in on

a competition among the FiveSeasons’ personal trainerscalled “I Lost It at the Club”two years ago, but didn’t keepup with the regimen.

“I lost about 50 pounds, butgained it all back. I stoppedtraining, started eating and be-ganmy relationshipwith beinga couch potato again,” he said.This time, Delaney “joinedJeanne’s ‘I Lost It At The Club’team and committed myself togetting up off the couch, put-ting down the remote and get-ting fit.”

Reality struck when helooked at photographs of him-self.

“I saw those pictures anddidn’t realize I looked like that,and began thinking about mydaughter,Alexis, a freshman incollege at University of Louis-ville,” he said. “I lookedaroundand sawother people getting inshape and decided to startwalking.”

He knows now that self-mo-tivation and commitment arethe keys to getting healthy.

“(Fitness) is a life-long jour-ney, not just a few days here orthere. It should be as natural asbrushing your teeth eachmorning. Putting exercise onthe ‘to-do list’ soon becomesthe ‘I want to do it list’ becauseit makes me feel great,” hesaid.

“The biggest thing that keptme motivated and still doeswas the support I had frommyfriends and co-workers. Theycelebrated inmyweeks Imadeprogress and they encouragedme in the weeks I struggled,”said Delaney. “I think that isthe biggest advantage of exer-cising in a club versus doing itat home, is that you have thesupport from everyone. Also,as I started losing weight Istarted feeling less fatiguedwhich encouraged me to con-tinue to lose weight.”

Kenton schools go green, earn greenFORT WRIGHT — Since Ken-

tonCountySchoolsmade thede-cision to go green, they’re see-ing green by reaping benefits ofa tax credit given to energy effi-cient schools.

It’s not just the $66,000 dona-tion received from the architec-ture firm that designed Edge-wood’s Turkey Foot MiddleSchool that’s money in the dis-trict’s pockets. Energy efficientschools equate to lowerelectric-ity bills and one of Kentucky’sonly salary hikes for educatorsthis year.

“We put money back into it,”said Superintendent Terri Cox-Cruey. “That’swhywearegoingto use this donation to put it intoprograms that continue to edu-cate our students on the impor-

tanceofenergysavingsandalsohelp our kids get into careers.

PCAArchitecture,ofCoving-ton, designed Turkey Foot Mid-dle Schoolwhich opened in 2009with energy efficient solar pan-els.

It’s able to operate using 61percent less energy than a stan-dard building, said PCA Archi-tecture president Andrew Pias-kowy, which is why the firm ap-plied for an IRS tax credit forqualifying buildings, like Tur-key Foot.

The IRS awarded $66,000 forthe efficiency, which Piaskowydonated to the school district.

“We felt it wasn’t our money,it was the taxpayers of KentonCounty that paid for the build-ing,” Piaskowy said. “We feltstrongly in the programs ofKenton County (Schools) andenergy initiatives this county

has done.”With the money the schools

can do even more, like fund theE-wise program, which teachesabout energy saving, and the

Construction 101 program,which gives students at ScottHigh School hands-on experi-ence with the school’s renova-tion.

“We’re saving money andwe’re increasing the ability toprovide,raiseandsustainagoodquality workforce,” Cox-Crueysaid. “But secondly we’re build-ing up our student populationthat will eventually be citizensand continue to help our regionsustain.”

Other projects, such as a hu-man sundial, will be paid forwith the funds.

“The new Turkey Foot istwice the size of the old one andthe energy costs are one-thirdthe cost of the original,” Piasko-wy said. “That’s pretty amaz-ing.”

Cox-Cruey agrees.“It’s kind of hard to wrap

your mind around that,” shesaid.

TAYLOR MILL — Painting onthe school’s walls and ceilingmight get most students in bigtrouble, but for some studentsat Woodland Middle School, it’sadvanced art class.

Art teacher Brittany For-sythe identified exceptional artstudents, whom she chargedwith the task of making theschool a little brighter, morecolorful and full of positivemessages.

The students, who are alsoworking on a variety of individ-ual projects, are painting ceil-ing tiles and creating colorfulmurals in the school’s stair-wells.

“My other classes are more

structured,” said Forsythe. “Inthis class, students are able tohave ideas and explore them.No one is working on the samething.”

Eighth-grader Nina Steversappreciates the opportunity tolet her talent grow.

“It was more like we all didthe same exact thing last year,and now, we’re more free. Wecan go up to our potential,” shesaid.

Tara Hatfield, also in gradeeight, liked working togetherwith her classmates on thelarge-scale murals.

Forsythe thought one bigwall mural would be more ef-fective “than tiny 8.5-by-11-inchposters.”

One stairwell’s wall says“Manyminds, onemission,”and

another one reads, “Whatever ittakes.”

PrincipalTaraSides likes theresults.

“The murals just help re-mindthemwhatourtimehere isabout. This is an older school,and we’re trying to make itmore student-friendly,” saidSides. “It also helps studentsfeel more invested in theschool.”

She also likes the way thepainting brightens up theschool’s public spaces.

Forsythe said the rainbow-hued ceiling tiles in her class-room could also be seen in theschool’s conference rooms andin other areas.

PARK HILLS — Getting awayforawhilehasservedtheNotreDame Academy basketballteam quite well.

Seven of the Pandas’ first 11gameswere played on the roadin a pair of holiday tourna-ments. Since returning to a lo-cals-only schedule to start thenew year, the Pandas havereeled off five wins in sixgames.

“(The tournaments) werereally good for us,” Pandashead coach Nicole Levanduskysaid. “The competition weplayedwas really good.”

Notre Dame played fourgamesinBereaat theBereaLa-dy Pirate Holiday Classic, win-ning three of four gamesagainst teams from around thestateofKentucky.Afterahomewin over Cincinnati Sycamore,the Pandas hit the road again,this time traveling out of state.Notre Dame lost two of threegames at the Columbus NorthHoliday Tournament in Indi-ana, but gained valuable expe-rience from playing againstsome of Indiana’s best teams.

“The better teams you play,the better it makes you,” saidLevandusky.

The next tournament on thehorizon is the one that mattersmost.Over the final fourweeksof the regular season, the Pan-das will square off with theirmain competition in the NinthRegion.While these gameswillgive the team a barometer ofthe level of competition it willface in the postseason, the Pan-das are not concerned withwhat their opponents showthem.

“We’re still focusing on our-

selves for the most part,” Le-vandusky said. “When it comesdownto it, itdoesn’tmatterwhoyou play if you don’t execute.”

Levandusky is looking formore consistency from hersquad. The team’s skills are notinquestion, but thegirls cannotrely on talent alone. It will takeextra effort to outwork oppo-nents to set themselves apartfrom the competition when thegamesmattermost.

“Weneed togiveamorecon-sistent effort from start to fin-ish,” said Levandusky. “Wehavethetalent, it’s justthelittlethings—hustling and rebound-ing.”

The Pandas have a niceblend of veterans and under-classmen and team chemistryis a strength. SeniorOliviaVos-kuhl has emerged as the team’sleader. Sophomore HayleeSmith has emerged as a strong

second scoring option behindVoskuhl. The senior has servedas a mentor to the youngerSmith.

“Oliviahasreallysteppedupin her leadership role,” saidLe-vandusky. “Our upperclass-men have been great leadersfor our less-experienced girls,showing them what it takes tosucceed.”

NDA one of top 9thRegion contenders

COVINGTON—The records are his, nowMitchell Blewett wants more wins.

The Covington Latin senior broke theschool’s single-game and career scoringrecords within a three-week span this sea-son. Both records were formerly held bythe school’s most famous athlete, formerMajor League Baseball player David Jus-tice.

He is happiest about the team’s two-gamewinning streak. CovingtonLatin is 5-11.

“We’vewonour last twogamesandwe’llplay teams that we should be competitivewith,” he said. “We have a chance to im-prove our record.”

Blewett scored 49 points in an 86-81winat Silver Grove Dec. 15. He couldn’t miss,going 15-for-20 from the field, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range and 16-of-18 fromthe free-throw line. Blewett also had16 re-bounds.

“Even if you have a good game, it’s hardtobepositive ina loss,”Blewett said. “Ifwehad lost thegame, itwouldhavespoiled it.”

The Silver Grove win marked a three-game winning streak in December includ-ing Bellevue and Dayton. It was the Tro-jans’ first-ever win over Dayton and firstoverBellevue in about 20years.TheSilverGrovewinwasalso less than24hoursafterthe Dayton game.

“We started off a little rough, but thenlate December we had a three-game win-ning streak,” Blewett said. “We were sotired in a high-scoring game like that andfrom the night before. It was definitely agreat game.”

Blewett passed Justice in career scor-

ing Jan. 3 at Riverview East Academy inCincinnati’s East End in a 22-point loss.Blewett suffered a minor concussion andmissed the next game.

“The first few minutes I went up for arebound, they had a real big kid that out-weighed me by 100 pounds,” he said. “Iknew this was the game I was going tobreak the record and I didn’t want to come

outbecauseallmyfamilyandfriendswerethere. Later that night,my headwas reallyhurting.”

Justice has talked to head coach GeneMorrison recently. Like Blewett, Justice’sson also hasType1diabetes.Blewett has toconstantly manage his blood sugar.

“The thing me and him live by, is thateven though we have diabetes, we don’thave limits,” Blewett said.

The girls team is 11-10, and has beatenfive teams in the Ninth Region, includingthe same three teams as the boys Trojansduring a memorable week in December.

AnnaMatchinga scored her1,000th ca-reer point in December and fellow seniorBridgette Hildreth has stepped up and ledthe team in scoring in several games. Oth-er seniors Emily Herzog, Diane Jacksonand Alex Trunnell are hoping to surpasslastyear’s14-win total,which is rareair forthe elite academic institution. All the sen-iors are 15 and 16 years old in CovingtonLatin’s accelerated program.

The Trojans don’t have a gym at theirschool and they commute to Newport twodays a week for practice.

“We play a schedule that fits who weare,” said head coach TimHeil. “We’re notplaying the Highlands and NewCaths. Wehave an experienced group of girls andthey’ve taken it upon themselves to playwell. We don’t rely on any one person. Ifyou need to score 20 points, that’s your job.If you need to get rebounds, that’s your joband do it well. Even if you play two min-utes, we need you for those two minutes.”

The Trojans have five games left, threeagainst teams they have already beaten.

JONES/COMMUNITY RECORDER

TAYLOR MILL — Like theirrecord suggests, the Scott boysbasketball team has been upand down this year.

Head coach Brad Carr ishappy to trade close losses nowfor big wins in the postseason,however, as he focuses on get-ting a veteran Eagles team toimprove.

Scott is 10-8 for the year af-ter beating 10th Region nem-esis Clark County 53-34 Jan.19.That was a bounce-back effortfor the Eagles after they lost60-59 toHolmesJan.17atScott.It was the third one-point lossthisyear for theEagles, and thesecond close loss to their near-by rival Bulldogs after losing74-69 at Holmes Dec. 22.

Holmes, ranked seventh inthe state Associated Press pollof Jan. 14, is the lone unbeatenboys team in Kentucky. Scott,which led formost of the game,had a chance to ruin that.

“You have to be able to han-dle pressure and be able togrind in games like this,” Carrsaid. “We had too many in-stances where we played a lit-tle too fast.Theyspedusupandwe made poor decisions. Theydid a good job of forcing thetempo. It will be a good experi-ence for us and hopefully we’lllearn from it and we’ll get bet-ter from it.”

Scott had several shots inthe final seconds of the game,and after a foul on the otherend,Holmes forwardChris En-glemon made a foul shot withthree seconds to go. Scott sen-ior Josh Felts missed a three-pointer at the buzzer.

“Our kids competed for 32minutes and that’s somethingwehaven’t doneconsistently sofar, and that’s something I’mhappy about,” Carr said. “We

had a chance to take the leadandwe came fighting back.Wehad timeswe could have foldedand earlier in the season wemay have done that.”

Scott senior Nick Jacksonled the Eagles with 19 points.He is averaging 16 a game thisyear as Scott’s top-returningplayer. The 6-foot-3 forward isalso pulling down seven re-bounds a contest.

“Nick is one of our key com-ponents,” Carr said. “The de-fense has to focus on him andthat allows others to be open.He’s a tough matchup because

big kids have to guard him andhehasguard skills andbig-manskills.”

Felts is posting 11.8 points acontest. Junior 6-foot-4 centerKameronCrim is averaging sixpoints a game.

Scott held the high-poweredHolmes offense to 60 pointsand highly-touted point guardJamesBolden to14. TheEaglesforced the super sophomoreinto 10 turnovers, with juniorJosh Castleman taking most ofthe one-on-one guarding withfrequent help from double-teams on the wings.

“Any time you play a teamthat is very point guard-orient-ed, youwant to cut the head offthe snake and that’s what wetried to do,” Carr said. “Otherkids stepped up for them andthat’s good for their program.Josh is a very hard-nosed guyand hard worker. He’s not go-ing to back down. He’s going tobeup inyouandhe’sveryquickand strong.”

Scott had won three gamesin a row after another toughone-point loss to rival SimonKenton. The win streak includ-ed a nine-point win over DixieHeights just 14 days after los-ing to the same Colonels by 19.

A veteran team with nineseniors and several top juniorsis looking to be in top form inFebruary. Carr has achievedthat often, winning four dis-trict titles in a row from 2008-11.

The Eagles have plentymore tough preparatory teststo come. After playing a key37th District game againstCampbell County Jan. 22, Scottplays a tough Perry CountyCentral team 3:30 p.m. Satur-day, Jan. 26 at MontgomeryCounty, then hosts CovingtonCatholic Jan. 29. Scott plays atBishop Brossart Feb. 8 to enddistrict play.

“We’re really up and downbutwedon’twant to be peakingnow, we want to be peaking atthe end of the year and I thinkwe’re taking great strides to-wards that,” Carr said. “We’reconsistently getting betterwith our effort and our deci-sions. It doesn’t matter howmany games you win or lose,come tournament time youwant to be tested and you wantto be ready to go.”

A publication of

The Enquirer recently re-ported that the Northern Ken-tucky Tea Party and tradition-al Republican Party haveunited. I’m skeptical. If true,it would seem to reflect theirrecognition of their mutuallong-term vulnerability fol-lowing the last election. ButI’m still skeptical.

Let’s look to the recentpast. In 2010 local Republicanfavorite son Trey Grayson,after having won two state-wide elections, was defeatedin his bid for the U.S. Senateby Rand Paul, a downstatedoctor who had never run forelection. The local party es-tablishment was not happy.And from what I hear, manyhave neither forgotten norforgiven since.

Meanwhile, over the pastthree year the Northern Ken-tucky Tea Party has opposed

county librarytaxes, schooltaxes, theArea PlanningCommissionTax, and some-what unbeliev-ably, a modestincrease inwater treat-ment rates topay for re-moval of

known carcinogens from ourdrinking water. As I’ve ob-served to some, these folksseem to have a problem notonly with government butwith certain fundamentalcomponents of our evolvingcivilization.

Except, of course, that theydrive on publicly financedroads, in cars that meet gov-ernment standards, breatheclean air, drink the water, eat

FDA approved meat, rely onanti-discrimination and work-place safety laws, participatein Medicare, enroll their chil-dren and grandchildren inpublic schools, obtain govern-ment-protected mortgages,invest in government-protect-ed financial institutions andsecurities exchanges, expectmassive government assis-tance to combat natural disas-ters, and rely on police andfire professionals, militarydefense forces, and our jus-tice system to protect themfrom a myriad of natural andman-made adversities.

In other words: they rely onmultitudes of governmentservices while maintaining amental fantasy life in whichthey are ruggedly indepen-dent, reliant on no one, andhave little obligation to payfor services they share along

with their fellow citizens.Former U.S. Supreme

Court Chief Justice OliverWendell Holmes – hardly aliberal – said over a centuryand a half ago that “taxes arethe price we pay for civiliza-tion.”

As local Republican leadersknow, especially business andChamber of Commerce lead-ers, we all prosper in an econ-omy built on people pursuingtheir dreams within a frame-work of reasonable govern-ment regulation that protectsvital public interests. Theyknow that governmental in-vestments in education, trans-portation, infrastructure, andjobs and employment sup-ports have been instrumentalin supporting our economicdevelopment. They know,from experience, that the TeaParty obsession with mini-

malist government is not thepathway to a higher standardof living and quality of life.

From all this I concludethat reports of unification,like reports of Mark Twain’sdeath, are highly exaggerated.Political parties are primarilyabout winning elections – butthey are also, like religioustraditions, carriers of culture,in this case our political, so-cial and economic culture. Ifthe Tea Party has captured theRepublican Party, many tradi-tional Republicans will notfind a compatible home there.

So: if you find yourself inthat situation, come and talkwith us in the DemocraticParty. You might be surprisedat the comfort level you find.

Learning about Interna-tional Humanitarian Law(IHL) is relevant, meaning-ful and useful for youngpeople in all societies, re-gardless of the absence ofwar or conflict and under-standing our roles and whatwe can do as a citizen is ahelpful tool.

We currently have thehighest per-centage ofyoungergeneration(those bornafter 1980)that willshape thefuture;thereforehelpingthem to un-derstandtheir roles

as a global citizen is para-mount.

The American Red Crosshelps the public, especiallyyounger generations, tounderstand their worldthrough international hu-manitarian law education,both in and out of class-rooms. This year, the Cin-cinnati Chapter will joinseven other chapters nation-ally to implement the IHLPeer Education Program foryoung people.

The program will runfrom Feb. 23 through theend of April and consists ofthree stages: Explore, Ad-dress, and Implement. Themain training on Feb. 23-24will be led by Rachele Tardi,senior adviser for peer edu-cation from Washington,D.C., who has a wide rangeof peer education experi-ence with the British RedCross.

The participants, TeamMembers (ages 13-17) andTeam Mentors (ages 18-25),will be working to explorethe importance of protect-ing the rights of peopleaffected by war, address anIHL-related issue, and im-plement an action projecton what they learned fromthe training. One team willbe selected and sponsored

to attend the first NationalYouth Conference in Wash-ington, D.C., on June 1-2.The participants will also beable to use this experienceto fulfill their service learn-ing hours for school. Theapplication deadline for thisprogram is Feb. 1.

One of the great empha-ses of this project will berole playing, which giveyoung people a personalexperience to understand an“abstract” concept such asInternational HumanitarianLaw. Role playing helps toput an idea into a humani-tarian perspective. It maybe harder to understand anidea, but it’s easier when weput a face into the story.

One day I am a shop-keeper in Bangkok, Thai-land, who risks losing busi-ness for protecting a victimof a street violence. Anotherday I am a Catholic factoryworker who went to incred-ible lengths to save a Jewishstranger from the Nazis inGermany. The next, I amGrace Lorch, a white wom-an, who risked her life toescort Elizabeth Eckfordthrough the mob in 1954 infront of Little Rock CentralHigh School. Taking onthese roles helps us un-derstand the concept of a“bystander” in conflict andwar situation.

International Humanitar-ian Law is not only relevantfor those working in warsituation, actually whathappens in the world rightnow affects us locally. Jela-luddin Rumi, a 14th centurySufi poet said, “Be a lamp, alifeboat, or a ladder.” Thedecision is yours.

Dyah Miller serves as interna-tional services coordinator at theAmerican Red Cross CincinnatiChapter. Originally from Indone-sia, she spent two years as aRotary World Peace Fellow.

George Huser Drivearticle confusing

I was delighted to finallyread something about the planfor the Kyles Lane alignmentwith George Huser Drive(Long-awaited improvementsmay come to Kyles Lane,Jan.10). But, what a confusingarticle!

At first it sounds as if the im-provement projectwill be fund-ed by a federal CMAQ grant of$2 million. Then it indicates themoney will not be forthcomingfor the revised plan because ofthenewWalgreens andwill costupwards of $20 million. Finally,the article states that the solu-tion is a raised median atGeorge Huser Drive to elimi-nate left turns fromnorthboundDixie Highway. What does thathave to do with anything? Isthere or is there not going to beanalignmentofKylesLanewithGeorge Huser Drive? Maybethe city of Fort Wright couldpublish a statement as to the ac-tual plan and what we can ex-pect.

Heartfelt considerationIn heartfelt consideration

for some unfortunate souls whomay engage in a home invasionor some other illegal entry into

our home, I plan to purchase ahandgunwith a15-shot capacitytoallowmetofireoffacoupleofwarning shots before decidingthat these individuals trulymean my family harm. If somemisinformed advocates havetheir way though andmymaga-zine options are limited to a 7- to10-shot capacity, then my firstshots by necessity must havethe aim of being fatal.

This is factual and not politi-cal, for I have empathy forthosewhomayfeel desperate intheir situation and make deci-sions that they’ll come to regret– and taking a life is somethingthat we can all agree should bethe last resort. Unfortunately,opportunists with a long heldpolitical agenda will use tragic

events to lessen the security oflaw-abiding citizens and limitouroptionstodefuseasituation.

Gun registrationThe anti-gunners seem to

have forgotten that they hadgun registration in Germany inthe 1930s. Hitler and his goonstook the registration lists androunded up the guns of all whoopposed him effectively dis-arming his enemies. I believethingswouldhavebeena lot dif-ferent in Nazi Germany if theJews there had been able toshoot back.

TAYLOR MILL — Stage lights splash across aplatform set with microphones upstage againsta simple black curtain, as teenagers roam thestage talking excitedly or sit and strum a gui-tar.

They’re preparing for Scott High School’sOpen Mic Café, an event that starts at 7:30 onselect Friday nights and allows students toshowcase their performing talents as long asthey keep coming up to the microphone.They’ll stay until everyone is done.

On the first Open Mic Café of 2013, which isalso the second such event for the school year,around 25 students were present when theshow opens, but only two were signed up toperform. Before the evening ended, aftermore than two dozen performances, thecrowd’s size had more than doubled.

The seats are set up on the stage, as thougheveryone in attendance is part of the perfor-mance.

Tables are set downstage with snacks andbottles of water. Student volunteers go throughthe crowd asking for $2 donations to help sup-port the program before the performancesbegin.

Tommy Steffens’ rendition of The Wiggles’“Big Red Car” grew enthusiasm among theaudience members, who started clapping andsinging along, before dramatic readings byBrianna Parsons and Lisa Griffin and an origi-nal acoustic guitar song by Russell Tollbrought a more somber tone to the evening.

Senior Molly Hennessy took turns readingpoetry and singing along to her acoustic guitarthroughout the evening, while overseeing theevent as Drama Club president.

“It’s a great way to foster community in theschool where there are so many cliques. Noteveryone gets a chance to express themselvesor feels comfortable doing that,” she said. “Icame as a freshman and seeing people per-

form here just blew mymind. It’s a safe envi-ronment with no judgment. There’s reallynothing else like it.”

Adviser and drama teacher Mandy Vol-penhein said everyone is invited.

She said high school students and alumnifrom throughout Northern Kentucky havecome to perform, and occasionally, teachersshow up to read poetry.

“This provides an avenue for kids who wantto perform, but don’t want to compete at per-forming. They’re pretty much free to do whatthey want, and the other students have all beenthere before, nervous and wondering whateveryone will think,” she said.

Volpenhein, affectionately known as “V,”also read a vibrant, vivacious verse in honor ofher nickname.

Performances also included two membersof The Yugos, Christian Goughand JacksonDeal, playing “Riverside,” an original songavailable for download attheyugos.bandcamp.com. Several poetry read-ings ensued, including an emotional recitationof the alphabet. Standup comedy acts weredelivered by Taylor “Tayter” Smith and JustinHamm.

Tayter said she attended Scott beforeswitching to Boone County’s Cooper HighSchool two years ago, but she keeps comingback.

“I came before I moved and read poems. Iwrite a lot,” she said. “The first time I wasvery nervous, but I just got going. I think it’s alot of fun. Everyone is so nice. No one judgesanybody. I think it’s a great atmosphere. It’sawesome. I started doing comedy because Ilove it and because other people encouragedme.”

Much of Tayter’s comedy is situational andreflects on her relationship with her girlfriendand her family.

“I’ve been bullied most of my life, and I’mstill bullied,” she said. “It’s nice to have a com-fortable place to be yourself.”

InMemoriam

West-Marro

Mr. & Mrs. Frank Marroof Indep,KY announce theengagement of theirdaughter, Malina Marro,to William West son ofBertha Tolle of Florenceand Eric West of MorningView. The future bride iscurrently studying EnglishEdu. at NKU. The futuregroom will graduate inAugust with his associatesdegree in business man-agement. Both are man-agers at local businesses.The wedding will be inSeptember this year.

For the past severaldays, I’ve been testingrecipes for classic stews,including chicken fricas-see and beef bourgui-gnon. I’m in the tweaking

stage for abeef stewthat has anolive but-ter swirl init. When itgets to the“oh mygosh this isperfect”stage, I’llbe onehappy

cook. Meanwhile, yourrequests have been foranything but long-cook-ing, gourmet food. Iagree it’s good to havemeals that are quick,appealing and not bud-get-busting. Here’s someto try.

Quick sloppy JoesFor the momwho

wanted to make a barbe-cue-type sandwich forher preschooler butdidn’t want somethingreal spicy. This freezeswell. This is good onslider buns topped withslaw for Super Bowlparties as well. Or put ina fondue pot and servewith Frito scoops or tor-tilla chips.

1pound lean ground beef1⁄4 cup diced onion or moreto taste

1 diced bell pepper

(optional)12 oz. bottle chili sauceBrown sugar to taste: Startwith 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Sauté beef, onion andbell pepper until beef iscooked. Add remainingingredients. Bring to agentle boil, lower to asimmer for a fewmin-utes.

Ellen’s orzo-roniEllen Mueller is my

Greek cooking buddy atJungle Jim’s. We teachLebanese/Greek menustogether and joke thatour moms and aunts areup in heaven arguingabout whose food is bet-ter. Here’s a comfortingpasta dish that Ellen saysher girls, Maggie andAlex, ask for on a regularbasis. “Better than theboxed stuff,” she told me.Orzo is rice-shaped pastasometimes called rose-marina.1⁄4 cup butter1 small onion, finely diced1garlic clove, minced4 oz. sliced creminimushrooms

1 cup orzo4 oz. spaghetti broken intothirds

4 cups low sodium chickenbroth

3 tablespoons choppedparsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in skillet.Add onion and sauté until

translucent. Add garlicand cook another minute.Add mushrooms andcook until soft and juiceshave released. Add orzoand spaghetti and coatwell with butter. Addbroth, stir, bring to boil.Cover and reduce tosimmer. Simmer 15 min-utes or until most of liq-uid is absorbed. Addparsley and season. Ellensays it will be a littlesaucy, which is what youwant.

Blender bananabread

This is the most moistand delicious bananabread I’ve made in a longtime. I have a “tastes likeBob Evans” bananabread recipe on my blog(Cincinnati.Com/blogs)that uses half as muchbutter as oil, along withbuttermilk, and that’s agood one, too. The onething I will tell you,though, is for any bananabread to taste good, the

bananas have to be reallyripe, like black-speckledripe, for the bread tohave a good, sweet ba-nana flavor. If you don’thave a blender, you cando this by hand.

3 very ripe bananas whirledin blender to make 1 cuppuree

1 cup vegetable oil2 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla11⁄2 cups flour1 cup sugar1 teaspoon baking soda

1⁄2 teaspoon salt1 cup walnuts, chopped inblender (optional)

Little bit of sugar forsprinkling on top(optional)

Brush a loaf pan withsoft butter or spray withcooking spray. Preheatoven to 350 degrees. Topuree in blender add oil,eggs and vanilla. Whirluntil blended. Whiskflour, sugar, soda, saltand nuts together inbowl. Pour banana mix-ture over dry ingredientsand mix just until blend-ed. Don’t over mix. Pourinto pan, sprinkle withextra sugar, and bake 45minutes or so until centersprings back when light-ly pressed. Cool on rack afewminutes before re-moving from pan.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Refrigerate or freezeripe bananas! The skinwill turn black, but insidewill be creamy yellow.Mix nuts with flour mix-ture so they stay sus-pended in your bakedgoods and don’t sink tothe bottom.

January is NationalOatmeal Month. Somesources say Americanseat more oatmeal in Jan-uary than any othermonth of the year.

Oats area great,inexpen-sive andnutritiousaddition toany eatingplan. Theycan becooked fora breakfastcereal,added toentrees,

and included in desserts,breads, and appetizers.

When shopping foroats, there are manychoices. You may findrolled oats, quick-cook-ing oats, instant oatmeal,steel cut, or pin oats onthe shelves. The advan-tage is that all are whole-grain choices. They justtake different amounts oftime to cook.

Steel cut oats, pin oats,Scotch and Irish oats areall similar. They are thewhole oat groat cut intosmaller pieces for easiercooking.

Rolled oats, quickcooking oats, and instantoats are all similar be-cause they have beensteamed and rolled flat.Quick cooking oats havebeen cut into smallpieces. Instant oats arecut into even smallerpieces than quick oats.Instant oats often haveadded sugar, salt, andflavoring adding to theircost and affecting theirnutritional profile.

Oats contain a type offiber called beta-glucanthat can help removecholesterol from yourbody. Eating foods highin some kinds of fibercan actually help reduceyour risk of cardiovascu-lar disease and stroke.

Oats have also beenshown to decrease therisk of type II diabetesbecause the fiber canhelp stabilize blood sug-ar.

Oats are a good sourceof B vitamins and otherimportant minerals. Theyalso are a good source ofcarbohydrates that pro-vide energy to our bod-ies.

One-fourth cup of dryoats is equivalent to aone-ounce grain portionfor MyPlate guidelines.They are easy and quickto prepare in the micro-wave or on the stove top.Steel cut oats take longerto prepare but there aremany recipes for usewith a slow cooker. Soak-ing steel cut oats forseveral hours or over-night will also shortenthe cooking time.

Plan to enjoy a bowl of

hot oatmeal as we finishout the month and con-sider ways you can addoats to your family mealplans more often in thecoming year. Your heart,body, and wallet may just

thank you.

“Write if you getwork.”

In the 1950s, a radiocomedian would sign offwith this phrase. Whowould have thought thatin 2013 finding work forseasoned, professional,experienced workerswould be such a chore?

In my last column, Iwrote about the effortsof a 55+ Task Force thatwas formed about a yearago to address the issueof unemployment amongseasoned, mature work-ers. I wrote about thepreconceptions thatemployers have aboutthe mature worker and alittle about the obstaclesthat we face when we tryto reenter the workforce.

The calls came flood-ing in. Every one ofthese callers has a story:

“Ken, I am 66 yearsold, I don’t need healthcare, I retired about ayear ago and I am bored,I want to go back towork...”

“Ken, I love the col-umn, I’m glad a group isbeginning to be the ad-vocate for us...”

“Ken, I was unwilling-ly retired by the compa-ny that I worked for 24

years...”“Ken,

I haven’tlookedfor a jobsince Ijust fin-ishedcollege. Ireallydon’tknow

how or where to begin...”“Ken, you have

opened a can of wormshere! Now, what are yougoing to do to help us?Do you have a job forme?”

There are many moreunemployed or underem-ployed mature workersout there than the TaskForce ever imagined! So,what are we going to doabout it?

The 55+ Task Forcewill be hosting an educa-tional opportunity forseasoned, experienced,mature professionals.

Putting yourexperiences back towork

A free educationalopportunity for seasonedmature professionalswill be held 8:30 a.m. to

noon Feb. 19 at MazakCorp., 8025 ProductionDrive, Florence, KY41042.

Topics include:»Understanding the

job search process intoday’s world. (Much haschanged since many ofus have looked forwork!)

»Working with anexecutive recruiter(un-derstanding the role of arecruiter and how theycan help.

»Networking: What isit? How do you do it? Isit effective? (Learn 10Tips to overcome thefear of networking.)

» Overcoming jobsearch obstacles. (Some-times the real obstacle isus.)

» Resource informa-tion for older adults (So,where can we go foradditional help?)

This is just the begin-ning of the Task Force’swork. The group hasplans for more efforts inthe coming year. So, toend with another oldradio saying: “Pleasestay tuned for furtherannouncements!”

There are a limitednumber of seats avail-

able for this seminar;you can call Senior Ser-vices at 859-491-0522 toreserve your place. Orsign up online athttp://bit.ly/VrRwzy.

There is so much tothis “getting old” thingthat we need to talkabout. If I don’t know theanswer, I will learn alongwith you. If you find thisarticle helpful and havesuggestions about othertopics, I would appreci-ate it if you will let meknow. I can be reachedat 859-292-7971, or emailme at [email protected].
