Scott cooking up new class and more construction
By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
TAYLOR MILL — Scott High School will be adding a dash of construction to the school year, cooking up a wing of 27 classrooms, while new culinary arts classes are heating up in the existing building. Construction isn’t new for Scott students, who not only dealt with the ongoing construction of Pride Parkway, but also endured classes while a new entrance, administrative offices and athletic facility were built. Principal Brennon Sapp said bids will be opened in February for the next construction phase, which he expects to cost up to $11 million and be completed for the start of school in fall 2015. The new wing, to be set on the south end of the building, will have a top floor of classrooms and a lower level that includes regular classrooms and art studios. “The current school sits like an ‘L,’ and this new construction connects the corners and comes on out,” he said. “Because the construction is pretty much self-contained, our students won’t be sitting in the middle of construction at any point.” The new classrooms will feature geothermal heating, and include interior windows along hallways, part of the plan’s “daylight harvesting.” Sapp said all the rooms will get natural light, and the lighting system will automatically adjust to the amount of daylight already coming in. Several rooms will be built with collapsible walls, so the space can be used as two smaller rooms or one larger area for combined classes. Not all the work will take place in the classrooms, as a wide hallway will feature

short lockers topped with work surfaces so “if teachers need additional space for students to work, or if they choose to do projects together after class, they’ll have a space they can do that,” said Sapp. The hallway will also include a seating area. While the design shows traditional wooden chairs and tables, Sapp said the seating chosen by students is more “like stair steps. It looks like a park art installation. They want to be all over it, and use it for what they need, not separated chairs and tables.” Teachers will also work together in a combined office
and professional space. “You can’t function by yourself anymore,” said Sapp. “To do a good job with our kids, we have to let them engage each other. This design plan facilitates that concept.” He said more construction phases are yet to come. One phase will be a new gym area and one will include a new band and chorus space. Which one comes first depends on student needs as they begin that planning process, which will start after this new phase gets under way. Sapp hopes one of those phases will include a new

INDEPENDENCE — Independence Mayor Chris Moriconi wants to talk about Ky. 536. Moriconi is concerned about plans for highway construction that include nine roundabouts in less than five miles between the Boone County Line and Ky. 17, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6. “That immediately caught my attention,” he said. “It seemed like that was quite a few when I got to looking at the map.” Moriconi also said, “Construction on 536 is going to be an important topic of discussion in the coming years.” That’s why he wants residents to get information and ask questions from District 6 Executive Director Rob Hans and
Project Developer Bob Yeager at the next City Council meeting, set for 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4. “Now is the time for us to give them our input,” said Moriconi. According to District 6 spokesperson Nancy Wood, the Ky. 536 project is still in the early planning stages. She anticipates four years before construction begins, which includes time for design and then for acquiring rights-of-way. “In phase one, we host a public meeting and present the design, then take public comments and finalize the plan,” she said. At this time, the public meeting has not yet been planned. "Roundabouts are safer, cause less congestion, move traffic faster and improve traffic flow,” said Wood. “The roundabouts were presented at a public meeting, and we have been working with the property owners along this corridor to enSee COUNCIL, Page A2
Dispatch fees on Kenton phone bills to be refunded By Libby Cunningham Lcunningham@nky.com
Billing cycles have caused some Kenton County Cincinnati Bell customers to still see 911 dispatch charges on landline telephone bills, fees that will be refunded next month, according to officials. The $4.25 charge has shown up on bills depending on when customers received them, but will be credited to accounts in February, Lisa McLaughlin, public relations counsel for Cincinnati Bell, wrote in an email. Emergency dispatch fees have been taken off of landline telephone bills because they don’t make enough money to fund Kenton County Dispatch. Now residents have to pay an $85 parcel fee, for each parcel of land they own, to cover costs. This does not apply to residents in Erlanger and Crescent Springs, who will continue to use Erlanger Dispatch. Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arlinghaus said his office has gotten a few dozen calls about the charges. “It’s a matter of when billing cycles are,” Arlinghaus said.

“We’ve been assured by all of the providers that if they are charged in January they will receive a credit on their February bills.” Arlinghaus said the overlap could happen with Insight Broadband customers as well. Representatives from Insight Broadband did not return requests for confirmation by press time. As many as10 percent of customers in cities that took 911 fees off landline telephone bills, which include Fort Mitchell, Lakeside Park and Villa Hills, still got charged. “I’d venture to say that probably each city has experienced this to some degree,” Arlinghaus said. An additional 12 cent 911 service fee is staying on bills though, he said, but it has nothing to do with the county. “That is related to 911, but that’s strictly a bill that Cincinnati Bell charges each and every customer,” he said. “We’ve got a number of calls about it. It’s 12 cents, but it’s the principle of the thing.” Visit www.nky.com/KentonCounty for more community news

Diana Taliaferro, who has taught cooperative extension home economy classes at Cornell University and wrote, produced and starred in a food and nutrition television program through the University of Kentucky. Sapp said the school’s Site-Based Decision Making Council invested $20,000 in what he calls a “makeshift kitchen” with two cooking workstations, each with a flat-top stove, refrigerator and a triple sink. "You have to have the triple sink to be up to industry standards,” said Taliaferro. “Separate sinks to soap, rinse and sanitize, unless you have a dishwasher with hot enough water.” In the first year of the program, 330 students, or one-third of Scott’s student population, will have completed the introductory class. Talliaferro hopes to add an international foods class and a concentrated baking class to the program in coming years, as well as a progression of classes that could end with food service certification. “If interest stays this high, we’ll have to build a kitchen to accommodate them,” said Sapp. Taliaferro alternates among students engaged in different pursuits.

checks in with students researching cooking terms on tablets at worktables, steps over to admire the knife skills of a student chopping vegetables, then slides up to the stove to encourage a student preparing to flip her stir-fried vegetables. “I show one of them what to do, then they teach each other. They’ll reteach it to themselves; that’s important because each of them will be good
at something different,” she said. “They get a chance to try the different roles, as chef, prep cook or server, all at industry standards." Students also get to eat their creations. “I’ve had something like this before, but it wasn’t fresh. It was packaged,” said senior Madeline Schneider. Martin Wartmansaid his entrée was better than the other meals he’d had
because the others were “not made by me.” “When you like what you made, it makes you feel accomplished,” said freshman Nick Robb. Sapp looks forward to growing the culinary arts program. “Our ultimate goal is to have kids leave here and be ready for jobs. That’s exciting,” Sapp said. “Plus, we get to watch them learn something new.”
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 has publications that explain, generally, about roundabouts and, specifically, the access management plan for Ky. 536. “I'm not dead-set against roundabouts. I think in certain locations they would be beneficial,
but again, my personal opinion on what I know now about the project, I would think nine seems excessive, but maybe they'll give me some new information and I'll think nine is not enough,” said Moriconi. “Right now my initial, just from the hip, reaction is nine just seems
like a lot, when no where else is there that many planned anywhere in the state or on the Boone County side where they're widening it from Interstate 75 all the way to U.S. 42.”

Contest offers a winning smile By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
INDEPENDENCE
—
Around Christmas 2012, Dentist Tara Dallmann and her staff at Gentle Dental Care of Independence decided to give someone a gift. They just don’t know who that someone is yet. According to head assistant Kim Fisk, they’re looking for someone who needs a smile makeover. “What we’re trying to do is to help someone who’s been through a lot,” she said. “It’s not going to be all about going from an
ugly smile to a pretty smile. It’s more about someone who has put others first, and who just hasn’t taken care of their own dental problems. We really want to help someone who is down on their luck.” To enter the contest, submit an essay explaining why this person deserves a makeover, and attach a photo. The deadline is March 31. Mail letters and photos to Gentle Dental Care Gives Back Contest, 1984 Walton-Nicholson Pike, Independence, KY 41051; visit the Facebook page,
Gentle Dental Care Independence; or send email to staff@sedationspadentist.com. The winner will be photographed before and after the dental work for publicity purposes. Dallmann and her staff will select a winner they feel particularly understands the value of good oral health, but until now has been unable to afford significant dental care, said Fisk. She said Dallmann has provided more than $100,000 of free dental services as part of the Donated Dental Services

Refinancing saves city $240,000 By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
INDEPENDENCE — City leaders chose to refinance a sewer debt that keeps them from flushing Independence residents’ money away. At the Jan. 7 meeting, Independence City Council members voted to refinance the Fowler Creek sewer project debt of $2.4 million, going from an interest rate rising from 4.3 percent to 4.75 percent
through the current payoff date of Dec. 1, 2021, to a rate of 0.94 percent to be paid off on May 1, 2016. The new fixed rate is financed through U.S. Bank, saving residents $240,000 in interest, according to City Clerk Pat Taney. Taney also spearheaded the refinancing of the Independence Municipal Center building in 2012, saving $1.2 million. City Administrator Dan Groth said the loan closing is set for Tuesday, Jan. 22. The Fowler Creek
sewer assessment has been charged to several residents in the northern and eastern portions of the city since 1993. According to the city of Independence website, www.cityofindependence.org, the Fowler Creek sewer project was brought about in the early 1990s when the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Division of Water threatened Independence “with $25,000 a day penalties due to the percolation of raw sewage in residential areas and outdated treatment plants resulting in local stream pollution
and health risks. To build the system, the city had to borrow $7 million for the construction of the main lines and a professional bond attorney as well as financial firms that were engaged to determine the future number of users and assessment fee each property owner would be charged in order to pay off the debt for this loan.” The site says the assessment established a 20-year payoff per parcel of $5,600. The annual assessment fee has been $280 per parcel. Until 2000, Sanitation District 1 handled billing and col-
lection of the assessment, but city employees took over those tasks. Mayor Chris Moriconi is glad to see the assessments coming to a close. “The low-interest rate we were able to secure for the Fowler Creek debt will save the users hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest. Additionally, approximately four years of having the pay the fee has been eliminated,” he said. “We are finally starting to see an endgame for this massive infrastructure project that began in the 1990s.”

Kenton schools go green, earn green
By Libby Cunningham Lcunningham@nky.com
FORT WRIGHT — Since Kenton County Schools made the decision to go green, they’re seeing green by reaping benefits of a tax credit given to energy efficient schools. It’s not just the $66,000 donation received from the architecture firm that designed Edgewood’s Turkey Foot Middle School that’s money in the district’s pockets. Energy efficient schools equate to lower electricity bills and one of Kentucky’s only salary hikes for educators this year. “We put money back into it,” said Superintendent Terri CoxCruey. “That’s why we are going to use this donation to put it into programs that continue to educate our students on the impor-
tance of energy savings and also help our kids get into careers. PCA Architecture, of Covington, designed Turkey Foot Middle School which opened in 2009 with energy efficient solar panels. It’s able to operate using 61 percent less energy than a standard building, said PCA Architecture president Andrew Piaskowy, which is why the firm applied for an IRS tax credit for qualifying buildings, like Turkey Foot. The IRS awarded $66,000 for the efficiency, which Piaskowy donated to the school district. “We felt it wasn’t our money, it was the taxpayers of Kenton County that paid for the building,” Piaskowy said. “We felt strongly in the programs of Kenton County (Schools) and energy initiatives this county

has done.” With the money the schools can do even more, like fund the E-wise program, which teaches about energy saving, and the
Construction 101 program, which gives students at Scott High School hands-on experience with the school’s renovation.
“We’re saving money and we’re increasing the ability to provide, raise and sustain a good quality workforce,” Cox-Cruey said. “But secondly we’re building up our student population that will eventually be citizens and continue to help our region sustain.” Other projects, such as a human sundial, will be paid for with the funds. “The new Turkey Foot is twice the size of the old one and the energy costs are one-third the cost of the original,” Piaskowy said. “That’s pretty amazing.” Cox-Cruey agrees. “It’s kind of hard to wrap your mind around that,” she said.

CovCath choir wins Q-102 competition Community Recorder
Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky radio station Q-102 awarded the Covington Catholic Chamber Choir first place in their annual Christmas Choir Competition. Q-102 Morning Show hosts presented a check for $5,000 to choir director Jim Wolfe on Dec. 18 at an all-school Mass and assembly. To enter the competition, the chamber choir submitted a performance of the holiday song “Blue Christmas.” From all eligible entries, a panel of judges selected CovCath as one of nine semifinal-
ists. The semifinalists were posted on Q-102’s website for listener vote. The three choirs to receive the most votes became finalists, of which CovCath was one. Of the finalists, the Chamber Choir received first place by the judges for its professional quality of sound and quality of performance. Another rendition of the chamber choir singing “Blue Christmas” with full accompaniment is posted on CovCath.org. Choir director Jim Wolfe has been on the faculty at Covington Catholic for four years. He is also music director at St. Mary’s Parish in Alexandria.

Color adds character at Woodland Middle By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
TAYLOR MILL — Painting on the school’s walls and ceiling might get most students in big trouble, but for some students at Woodland Middle School, it’s advanced art class. Art teacher Brittany Forsythe identified exceptional art students, whom she charged with the task of making the school a little brighter, more colorful and full of positive messages. The students, who are also working on a variety of individual projects, are painting ceiling tiles and creating colorful murals in the school’s stairwells. “My other classes are more
structured,” said Forsythe. “In this class, students are able to have ideas and explore them. No one is working on the same thing.” Eighth-grader Nina Stevers appreciates the opportunity to let her talent grow. “It was more like we all did the same exact thing last year, and now, we’re more free. We can go up to our potential,” she said. Tara Hatfield, also in grade eight, liked working together with her classmates on the large-scale murals. Forsythe thought one big wall mural would be more effective “than tiny 8.5-by-11-inch posters.” One stairwell’s wall says “Many minds, one mission,” and
another one reads, “Whatever it takes.” Principal Tara Sides likes the results. “The murals just help remind them what our time here is about. This is an older school, and we’re trying to make it more student-friendly,” said Sides. “It also helps students feel more invested in the school.” She also likes the way the painting brightens up the school’s public spaces. Forsythe said the rainbowhued ceiling tiles in her classroom could also be seen in the school’s conference rooms and in other areas. Visit nky.com/taylormill for more community news

and earlier in the season we may have done that.” Scott senior Nick Jackson led the Eagles with 19 points. He is averaging 16 a game this year as Scott’s top-returning player. The 6-foot-3 forward is also pulling down seven rebounds a contest. “Nick is one of our key components,” Carr said. “The defense has to focus on him and that allows others to be open. He’s a tough matchup because big kids have to guard him and he has guard skills and big-man skills.” Felts is posting 11.8 points a contest. Junior 6-foot-4 center Kameron Crim is averaging six points a game. Scott held the high-powered Holmes offense to 60 points and highly-touted point guard James Bolden to 14. The Eagles forced the super sophomore into 10 turnovers, with junior Josh Castleman taking most of the one-on-one guarding with frequent help from doubleteams on the wings. “Any time you play a team that is very point guard-oriented, you want to cut the head off the snake and that’s what we

tried to do,” Carr said. “Other kids stepped up for them and that’s good for their program. Josh is a very hard-nosed guy and hard worker. He’s not going to back down. He’s going to be up in you and he’s very quick and strong.” Scott had won three games in a row after another tough one-point loss to rival Simon Kenton. The win streak included a nine-point win over Dixie Heights just 14 days after losing to the same Colonels by 19. A veteran team with nine seniors and several top juniors is looking to be in top form in February. Carr has achieved that often, winning four district titles in a row from 2008-11. The Eagles have plenty more tough preparatory tests to come. After playing a key 37th District game against
Campbell County Jan. 22, Scott plays a tough Perry County Central team 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at Montgomery County, then hosts Covington Catholic Jan. 29. Scott plays at Bishop Brossart Feb. 8 to end district play. “We’re really up and down but we don’t want to be peaking now, we want to be peaking at the end of the year and I think we’re taking great strides towards that,” Carr said. “We’re consistently getting better with our effort and our decisions. It doesn’t matter how many games you win or lose, come tournament time you want to be tested and you want to be ready to go.” Follow James on Twitter @RecorderWeber and check out more coverage at nky.com/preps.
Deep Pioneers focus on next step By James Weber jweber@nky.com
INDEPENDENCE — The Simon Kenton girls basketball team has a lot of speed and depth this season, and have been able to score a lot of points this year. But the foundation of the Pioneers under head coach Jeff Stowers remains defense, and the two areas have merged to create a team with an 18-2 record. “We like to play uptempo,” said junior guard Abby Owings. “Defense is our big focus. If we get the ball up the court fast and try to get transition baskets, that’s how we try to win.” Simon beat Walton-Verona 62-53 Jan. 19, clinching the top seed in the 32nd District Tournament with the victory. The game came less than 24 hours after a 66-59 win over Ninth Region power Notre Dame. Stowers appreciated the win but is always focused on things his team can improve on. Owings, whom Stowers said “has the heart of a lion,” had 25 points, 22 in the second half, to keep the Bearcats at bay.

“We just had to keep playing hard and play our best,” she said. “It’s a pretty big lift but we still have the rest of our season and that’s what we have to worry about. These games are over.” The speedy and diminutive guard, who is listed at 5-foot-2, had two floaters over W-V’s 6foot-1 post player Michele Judy at crucial spots in the second half.

TAYLOR MILL — Like their record suggests, the Scott boys basketball team has been up and down this year. Head coach Brad Carr is happy to trade close losses now for big wins in the postseason, however, as he focuses on getting a veteran Eagles team to improve. Scott is 10-8 for the year after beating 10th Region nemesis Clark County 53-34 Jan. 19. That was a bounce-back effort for the Eagles after they lost 6059 to Holmes Jan. 17 at Scott. It was the third one-point loss this year for the Eagles, and the second close loss to their nearby rival Bulldogs after losing 74-69 at Holmes Dec. 22. Holmes, ranked seventh in the state Associated Press poll of Jan. 14, is the lone unbeaten boys team in Kentucky. Scott, which led for most of the game, had a chance to ruin that. “You have to be able to handle pressure and be able to grind in games like this,” Carr said. “We had too many instances where we played a little too fast. They sped us up and we made poor decisions. They did a good job of forcing the tempo. It will be a good experience for us and hopefully we’ll learn from it and we’ll get better from it.” Scott had several shots in the final seconds of the game, and after a foul on the other end, Holmes forward Chris Englemon made a foul shot with three seconds to go. Scott senior Josh Felts missed a three-pointer at the buzzer. “Our kids competed for 32 minutes and that’s something we haven’t done consistently so far, and that’s something I’m happy about,” Carr said. “We had a chance to take the lead and we came fighting back. We had times we could have folded

“It’s rough,” Owings said. “It’s very hard to see over the top of her and that’s one of my big struggles. I have to jump twice as high to be able to score.” SK has averaged 62 points per game on offense this season, and has scored more than 60 in 11 of its last 12 games, including 88 against Scott, 85 against Valley and 79 against Seneca.
Owings and junior guard Christina Cook are averaging 12 points a game this year. Cook, who had 13 points against W-V, is one of the top sprinters in the area during track season, having finished third in the 3A state meet in the 400 meters after winning the region. “(Cook) has been solid for us all year,” Stowers said. “She never gets mentioned. She had a great tournament at LexCath and Bardstown and a great, great game against Notre Dame. She made four clutch free throws at the end of that game. She’s one of those that we can’t do without.” Senior Paige Bosse and junior Rachel Cox have been strong in the paint. Bosse averages 10 points and eight rebounds. Cox averages eight points and seven rebounds. Junior forward Sarah Tomlin had 11 points against Walton. “Normally we’ll go 12 (deep) and sometimes 15,” Stowers said. “Everybody has to be ready when their number is called. We want a lot of possessions. We want to go down See PIONEERS, Page A6

In the meantime, Stowers will change some tactics to get his team in peak form for the postseason. “We’re starting to get good things to look at and good tapes to look at,” he said. “We’re going to begin to watch tape a lot more than we normally do. We have some bad habits we need to address. We need to start looking at things and really honing our skills.”

Pandas focus on improvement NDA one of top 9th Region contenders By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com
PARK HILLS — Getting away for a while has served the Notre Dame Academy basketball team quite well. Seven of the Pandas’ first11games were played on the road in a pair of holiday tournaments. Since returning to a locals-only schedule to start the new year, the Pandas have reeled off five wins in six games. “(The tournaments) were really good for us,” Pandas head coach Nicole Levandusky said. “The competition we played was really good.” Notre Dame played four games in Berea at the Berea Lady Pirate Holiday Classic, winning three of four games against teams from around the state of Kentucky. After a home win over Cincinnati Sycamore, the Pandas hit the road again, this time traveling out of state. Notre Dame lost two of three games at the Columbus North Holiday Tournament in Indiana, but gained valuable experience from playing against some of Indiana’s best teams. “The better teams you play, the better it makes you,” said Levandusky.
Notre Dame Academy forward Olivia Voskuhl (15) blocks a shot during their girls basketball game against St. Ursula Wednesday, Jan. 16. TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE RECORDER
The next tournament on the horizon is the one that matters most. Over the final four weeks of the regular season, the Pandas will square off with their main competition in the Ninth Region. While these games will give the team a barometer of the level of competition it will face in the postseason, the Pandas are not concerned with what their opponents show them. Levandusky is looking for more consistency . The team’s skills are not in question, but the girls cannot rely on talent alone. It will take extra effort to outwork opponents to set
themselves apart from the competition when the games matter most. The Pandas have a blend of veterans and underclassmen and team chemistry is a strength. Senior Olivia Voskuhl has emerged as the team’s leader. Sophomore Haylee Smith has emerged as a strong second scoring option behind Voskuhl. The senior has served as a mentor to the younger Smith. “Olivia has really stepped up in her leadership role,” said Levandusky. The Pandas host Beechwood on Jan. 24.

United GOP? I don’t think so The Enquirer recently reported that the Northern Kentucky Tea Party and traditional Republican Party have united. I’m skeptical. If true, it would seem to reflect their recognition of their mutual long-term vulnerability following the last election. But I’m still skeptical. Let’s look to the recent past. In 2010 local Republican favorite son Trey Grayson, after having won two statewide elections, was defeated in his bid for the U.S. Senate by Rand Paul, a downstate doctor who had never run for election. The local party establishment was not happy. And from what I hear, many have neither forgotten nor forgiven since. Meanwhile, over the past three year the Northern Kentucky Tea Party has opposed

Learn role as global citizen Learning about International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is relevant, meaningful and useful for young people in all societies, regardless of the absence of war or conflict and understanding our roles and what we can do as a citizen is a helpful tool. We currently have the highest percentage of younger generation (those born after 1980) that will shape the future; therefore Dyah Miller helping COMMUNITY them to unRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST derstand their roles as a global citizen is paramount. The American Red Cross helps the public, especially younger generations, to understand their world through international humanitarian law education, both in and out of classrooms. This year, the Cincinnati Chapter will join seven other chapters nationally to implement the IHL Peer Education Program for young people. The program will run from Feb. 23 through the end of April and consists of three stages: Explore, Address, and Implement. The main training on Feb. 23-24 will be led by Rachele Tardi, senior adviser for peer education from Washington, D.C., who has a wide range of peer education experience with the British Red Cross. The participants, Team Members (ages 13-17) and Team Mentors (ages 18-25), will be working to explore the importance of protecting the rights of people affected by war, address an IHL-related issue, and implement an action project on what they learned from the training. One team will be selected and sponsored

with their fellow citizens. Former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes – hardly a liberal – said over a century and a half ago that “taxes are the price we pay for civilization.” As local Republican leaders know, especially business and Chamber of Commerce leaders, we all prosper in an economy built on people pursuing their dreams within a framework of reasonable government regulation that protects vital public interests. They know that governmental investments in education, transportation, infrastructure, and jobs and employment supports have been instrumental in supporting our economic development. They know, from experience, that the Tea Party obsession with mini-
malist government is not the pathway to a higher standard of living and quality of life. From all this I conclude that reports of unification, like reports of Mark Twain’s death, are highly exaggerated. Political parties are primarily about winning elections – but they are also, like religious traditions, carriers of culture, in this case our political, social and economic culture. If the Tea Party has captured the Republican Party, many traditional Republicans will not find a compatible home there. So: if you find yourself in that situation, come and talk with us in the Democratic Party. You might be surprised at the comfort level you find.

to attend the first National Youth Conference in Washington, D.C., on June 1-2. The participants will also be able to use this experience to fulfill their service learning hours for school. The application deadline for this program is Feb. 1. One of the great emphases of this project will be role playing, which give young people a personal experience to understand an “abstract” concept such as International Humanitarian Law. Role playing helps to put an idea into a humanitarian perspective. It may be harder to understand an idea, but it’s easier when we put a face into the story. One day I am a shopkeeper in Bangkok, Thailand, who risks losing business for protecting a victim of a street violence. Another day I am a Catholic factory worker who went to incredible lengths to save a Jewish stranger from the Nazis in Germany. The next, I am Grace Lorch, a white woman, who risked her life to escort Elizabeth Eckford through the mob in 1954 in front of Little Rock Central High School. Taking on these roles helps us understand the concept of a “bystander” in conflict and war situation. International Humanitarian Law is not only relevant for those working in war situation, actually what happens in the world right now affects us locally.

I was delighted to finally read something about the plan for the Kyles Lane alignment with George Huser Drive (Long-awaited improvements may come to Kyles Lane, Jan.10). But, what a confusing article! At first it sounds as if the improvement project will be funded by a federal CMAQ grant of $2 million. Then it indicates the money will not be forthcoming for the revised plan because of the new Walgreens and will cost upwards of $20 million. Finally, the article states that the solution is a raised median at George Huser Drive to eliminate left turns from northbound Dixie Highway. What does that have to do with anything? Is there or is there not going to be an alignment of Kyles Lane with George Huser Drive? Maybe the city of Fort Wright could publish a statement as to the actual plan and what we can expect.

In heartfelt consideration for some unfortunate souls who may engage in a home invasion or some other illegal entry into
our home, I plan to purchase a handgun with a 15-shot capacity to allow me to fire off a couple of warning shots before deciding that these individuals truly mean my family harm. If some misinformed advocates have their way though and my magazine options are limited to a 7- to 10-shot capacity, then my first shots by necessity must have the aim of being fatal. This is factual and not political, for I have empathy for those who may feel desperate in their situation and make decisions that they’ll come to regret – and taking a life is something that we can all agree should be the last resort.

Gun registration
The anti-gunners seem to have forgotten that they had gun registration in Germany in the 1930s. Hitler and his goons took the registration lists and rounded up the guns of all who opposed him effectively disarming his enemies. I believe things would have been a lot different in Nazi Germany if the Jews there had been able to shoot back. Ted Smith Park Hills

OPEN MIC EVENT SETS THE STAGE FOR YOUNG PERFORMERS
Scott teens find a place to express themselves By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
TAYLOR MILL — Stage lights splash across a platform set with microphones upstage against a simple black curtain, as teenagers roam the stage talking excitedly or sit and strum a guitar. They’re preparing for Scott High School’s Open Mic Café, an event that starts at 7:30 on select Friday nights and allows students to showcase their performing talents as long as they keep coming up to the microphone. They’ll stay until everyone is done. On the first Open Mic Café of 2013, which is also the second such event for the school year, around 25 students were present when the show opens, but only two were signed up to perform. Before the evening ended, after more than two dozen performances, the crowd’s size had more than doubled. The seats are set up on the stage, as though everyone in attendance is part of the performance. Tables are set downstage with snacks and bottles of water. Student volunteers go through the crowd asking for $2 donations to help support the program before the performances begin. Tommy Steffens’ rendition of The Wiggles’ “Big Red Car” grew enthusiasm among the audience members, who started clapping and singing along, before dramatic readings by Brianna Parsons and Lisa Griffin and an original acoustic guitar song by Russell Toll brought a more somber tone to the evening. Senior Molly Hennessy took turns reading poetry and singing along to her acoustic guitar throughout the evening, while overseeing the event as Drama Club president. “It’s a great way to foster community in the school where there are so many cliques. Not everyone gets a chance to express themselves or feels comfortable doing that,” she said. “I came as a freshman and seeing people per-

form here just blew my mind. It’s a safe environment with no judgment. There’s really nothing else like it.” Adviser and drama teacher Mandy Volpenhein said everyone is invited. She said high school students and alumni from throughout Northern Kentucky have come to perform, and occasionally, teachers show up to read poetry. “This provides an avenue for kids who want to perform, but don’t want to compete at performing. They’re pretty much free to do what they want, and the other students have all been there before, nervous and wondering what everyone will think,” she said. Volpenhein, affectionately known as “V,” also read a vibrant, vivacious verse in honor of her nickname. Performances also included two members of The Yugos, Christian Goughand Jackson Deal, playing “Riverside,” an original song available for download at theyugos.bandcamp.com. Several poetry readings ensued, including an emotional recitation of the alphabet. Standup comedy acts were delivered by Taylor “Tayter” Smith and Justin Hamm. Tayter said she attended Scott before switching to Boone County’s Cooper High School two years ago, but she keeps coming back. “I came before I moved and read poems. I write a lot,” she said. “The first time I was very nervous, but I just got going. I think it’s a lot of fun. Everyone is so nice. No one judges anybody. I think it’s a great atmosphere. It’s awesome. I started doing comedy because I love it and because other people encouraged me.” Much of Tayter’s comedy is situational and reflects on her relationship with her girlfriend and her family. “I’ve been bullied most of my life, and I’m still bullied,” she said. “It’s nice to have a comfortable place to be yourself.”

Comfort foods offers quick, easy meals For the past several days, I’ve been testing recipes for classic stews, including chicken fricassee and beef bourguignon. I’m in the tweaking stage for a beef stew that has an olive butter swirl in it. When it gets to the “oh my gosh this is perfect” Rita stage, I’ll Heikenfeld be one RITA’S KITCHEN happy cook. Meanwhile, your requests have been for anything but long-cooking, gourmet food. I agree it’s good to have meals that are quick, appealing and not budget-busting. Here’s some to try.
Quick sloppy Joes
For the mom who wanted to make a barbecue-type sandwich for her preschooler but didn’t want something
real spicy. This freezes well. This is good on slider buns topped with slaw for Super Bowl parties as well. Or put in a fondue pot and serve with Frito scoops or tortilla chips.
1 pound lean ground beef 1 ⁄4 cup diced onion or more to taste 1 diced bell pepper (optional) 12 oz. bottle chili sauce Brown sugar to taste: Start with 3 tablespoons and go from there
Sauté beef, onion and bell pepper until beef is cooked. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, lower to a simmer for a few minutes.

ter. Here’s a comforting pasta dish that Ellen says her girls, Maggie and Alex, ask for on a regular basis. “Better than the boxed stuff,” she told me. Orzo is rice-shaped pasta sometimes called rosemarina. 1 ⁄4 cup butter 1 small onion, finely diced 1 garlic clove, minced 4 oz. sliced cremini mushrooms 1 cup orzo 4 oz. spaghetti broken into thirds 4 cups low sodium chicken
Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute. Add mushrooms and cook until soft and juices have released. Add orzo and spaghetti and coat well with butter. Add broth, stir, bring to boil. Cover and reduce to simmer. Simmer 15 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed. Add parsley and season. Ellen says it will be a little saucy, which is what you want.
Blender banana bread
This is the most moist and delicious banana bread I’ve made in a long time. I have a “tastes like Bob Evans” banana bread recipe on my blog (Cincinnati.Com/blogs) that uses half as much butter as oil, along with
buttermilk, and that’s a good one, too. The one thing I will tell you, though, is for any banana bread to taste good, the bananas have to be really ripe, like black-speckled ripe, for the bread to have a good, sweet banana flavor. If you don’t have a blender, you can do this by hand.
3 very ripe bananas whirled in blender to make 1 cup puree 1 cup vegetable oil 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 11⁄2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 cup walnuts, chopped in blender (optional) Little bit of sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
Brush a loaf pan with soft butter or spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To puree in blender add oil, eggs and vanilla. Whirl until blended. Whisk
flour, sugar, soda, salt and nuts together in bowl. Pour banana mixture over dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Don’t over mix. Pour into pan, sprinkle with extra sugar, and bake 45 minutes or so until center springs back when lightly pressed. Cool on rack a few minutes before removing from pan.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Refrigerate or freeze ripe bananas! The skin will turn black, but inside will be creamy yellow. Mix nuts with flour mixture so they stay suspended in your baked goods and don’t sink to the bottom.

You want and need, however, to work? Maybe work is a real financial need, maybe it is an emotional need; but it is a real need for many of us. A small task force made up of seven dedicated representatives of business, not-for-profits and government has been meeting on a regular basis since January 2012 to learn more about this employment issue and begin addressing it. The group has asked unemployed 55+ers their viewpoint. Here are some of the things that they told us: “I am too old. Nobody wants or needs my skills. I haven’t been in the marketplace for employment since I finished college, high school or community college. My resume’ is 20 years old. I really don’t know how to go about reentering the workforce.” From business focus groups, we learned that their perception (and perception is reality) is: “You are too old, too set in your ways, not knowledgeable about technology, prone to illness and disease. You cost too much! Or, if you do come to work for me, then you will jump ship for a better paid position if one presents itself.” The need is real. There are numerous examples of 55+ individ-
uals who find themselves in this position. The perception the employer has of us is real. So what can be done about this? The Task Force hopes to match employers’ needs with potential employees’ skills, resulting in a winwin for each group. The niche employee group represents mature (55+), committed, motivated and experienced men and women who want to contribute to society as active members of the workforce. Their interest may be in job sharing, part-time, seasonal, project based or full-time employment. The Task Force continues to move forward in development of strategies to address this need. As programs are developed, more information on the actions of the Task Force will follow. Interested in becoming involved as a potential 55+ employer or are you 55+ and want to reenter the workforce?

I can be reached at 859-292-7971, or email me at krechtin@seniorservicesnky.org. Or write to me at Senior Services of Northern Kentucky, 1032 Madison Ave., Covington, Kentucky 41011.

dry oats is equivalent to a one-ounce grain portion for MyPlate guidelines. They are easy and quick to prepare in the microwave or on the stove top. Steel cut oats take longer to prepare but there are many recipes for use with a slow cooker. Soaking steel cut oats for several hours or overnight will also shorten the cooking time.
