VILLA HILLS — Like manyKentuckians Villa Hills residentDaleDue bleeds blue for theUni-versity of Kentucky Wildcats.

She’sputherprideonpaperbypenning a children’s book “Youare aKentuckyWildcat” in honorof her three grandchildren.

Due’s family has a historywithUK. She and her husband at-tended the school. So did her twodaughters and two son-in-laws.

“Now I have three grandchil-dren and I wanted to give themsomething from me about some-thingI love,”shesaid. “...Wehavesomuch timespent at theUniver-sity of Kentucky and I thoughtwhy not do a book on UK?”

The book reminds fans to beproud of the Big Blue and payshomage to her grandchildren. Il-lustrated by Corben Geis, sheasked the artist to include like-

nesses of them in his drawings.“He was able to put on paper

everything I told him I wantedfor each page,” she said. “Hewould send me a picture and Iwould say that’s exactly what Iwas looking for.”

Due said she’s always loved

children’s books and graduatedwith an elementary educationmajor from UK.

“I’vealways talkedaboutwrit-ing a book, from when I was incollege until now and just havenever done it,” Due said. “Itwasn’t until I actually had mygrandchildren, three years ago,that I tried and put something to-gether.”

UKfansaremoreexcited thanusual this year, due to a nationalchampionship win in basketball,which iswhy it’s beenagoodyearto put the book out, Due said.

“I know it’s a limited audi-ence,” she said. “But it’s a verydedicated audience.”

“YouAre aKentuckyWildcat”is available at www.amazon.com,from Due directly and Joseph-Beth Booksellers locations inLexington and Crestview Hills.

Copies are $15.Visit www.nky.com/VillaHills for

NEWPORT — Brian Delaneyhas little room to move insidehis green and brown minivan.

Plastic containers, with la-bels describing clothing for dif-ferent age groups, crowd the in-terior of his vehicle as he waitsfor it to be emptied in aNewportparking lot.

In eight days theminivanhastraveled1,200miles, sometimesfull to the brim, picking up ordelivering donations.

In only eight days the Er-langer resident has reached outto more than 150 needy familiesby inviting them to post in theFacebook group “Helpingneedy families for Christmas.”

“They go on to our Facebookand they’ll write ‘in search of’

what they’re looking for theirchildren,” Delaney said. He in-vestigates the posters’ profilesto make sure they’re not scam-mers.

After that help pours in fromhis resources, including his owncloset and very full shed.

With the help of volunteerslike Elizabeth Haines and Bran-dy Mort, Delaney then figuresout a way to get presents to peo-ple.

Hesetsupmeeting timesandplaces to distribute items, care-ful to suggest recipients parkaway from stores, since hedoesn’t want to cause any trou-ble, he said.

Cynthia Scales, of Alexan-dria, approaches Delaney’s carfor a container with clothing.

“My daughter asked mewho I was talking to,”Scales said of her initialcall to Delaney. “I said ‘I’mtalking to Santa.’”

The pregnant mom offour needs some help get-ting gifts for the holiday, soshecontactedhim.Theoth-er day, she got a riding toyfor her 20-month-old childthrough the Facebookgroup.

“I’m here for toys andsweats for my last monthof pregnancy,” Scales said.

Thematchingprocess is

She’s young, pregnantandstayingat theMadonnaHouse of Northern Ken-tucky until her child isborn. The Madonna Houserequires her to volunteerlocally, so she decided tohelp Delaney.

“I had stuff to give, so Idonated all of my daugh-ter’s old clothes,” Mautesaid.

Delaney’s Facebookgroup had 378 members asof Dec. 7, most looking forsome relief this holidayseason.

Several emails to theRecorder, such as one from

Megan Hill of Southgate,called him the “Santa Clausof Northern Kentucky.”He’s helping residents be-cause he was in their shoeslast year.

“The reason why I start-ed this is because last yearI needed help,” said Dela-ney, who is disabled. “Wefell flat on our face.”

The memories causehim to tear up while wait-ing for more people tocome and pick up their pre-sents.

“The thing is that allgood luck comes in ten-fold,” he says, voicequiver-ing. “Five people helped uslast year. Our goal was 50people. Now it’s up to 158.”

INDEPENDENCE — TheKenton County Police De-partment’s sixnewcarsareexpected to send countybudget savings into over-drive.

According to KentonCounty Judge-executiveSteve Arlinghaus, the six2013 Dodge Charger policecruisers, purchased at acost of$21,000each,will re-place SUVs purchased be-tween 2002 and 2006, ex-changing vehicles that got

9 miles per gallon withmore cost-effective mod-els that get up to 19.9 milesper gallon, saving a total of$21,000 per year in fuelcosts.

“We’re doubling our gasmileage, essentially,” saidArlinghaus. “It equalsquite a bit of fuel savings.”

Fleet Maintenance Di-rector RogerWells said thecruisers will be used bycounty police sergeantswho don’t typically drivefromcall to call, but thegasmileage difference willcertainly add up.

“We expect to save$21,000 per year in fuelcosts over previous years,so at the end of six yearsthe cars will pay them-selves off,” Wells said.

Wells said the ser-geants, who serve as shiftsupervisors, drive 100,000miles per year, and he bud-gets fuel costs at $3.50 pergallon of fuel. He said thepolice department’s annualfuel budget is $108,000, sothe new cars are expectedtosavealmost20percentofthe total budget.

Kenton County Police

Chief Brian Capps expectseven more savings.

“We’ll also see a drop inmaintenance costs. Someof the SUVs have reallygiven us problems, espe-cially with transmissions.It’s really eating up ourmaintenance budget. If wereplace just onewith a newvehicle, it costs money upfront, but then costs godown,” he said. “We’re re-placing 6- to10-year-old ve-hicles.Any timeyoucanre-place an older vehicle witha brand-new model, it’sgood.”

UNION — Soldiers de-ployed overseas will havesome new reading materi-als this holiday seasonthanks inpart toanewnon-profit founded by a locallawyer and author.

Pride and Pages, thebrainchild of Rick Robin-son, had its kickoff Nov.29, when the group part-nered with the city ofUnion’s Adopt-a-Unit pro-gram to send130 books do-nated by local authorsoverseas to the city’sadopted military unit,101st Airborne Division, 1/32 CAV.

Volunteers gathered atthe Union CommunityBuilding to prepare a holi-day shipment to the de-ployed troops where thebooks – andothergoodies –were wrapped.

The donated bookscome from a number of lo-cal authors includingJudge Anthony Frohlich,Justice Donald Winter-sheimer, Don McNay, RobHudson, Callie Clare andmore.

According to Robinson,that’s about $2,600 worthof books. Pride and Pagesis also working to pay forshipping of the boxes.

Robinson, of FortMitchell, said when hepublishedhis firstbook,he

began carrying extracopies around with him.

While flying some-where,Robinsonwouldno-tice a military group near-by, so he shared a copy ofhis book. They were “soblown away” that someonewould give them a bookthey had penned, he said.

In addition to the booksfor the soldiers, books willbe sent to their childrenwith messages writtenfrom their fathers beforebeing deployed.

“Every kid will get abook from daddy thisChristmas,” Robinsonsaid.

“I think it’s agreat addi-tion,” Franxman said.

Robinson said his ulti-

mate dream is to havePride and Pages be a “sus-taining organization thatconnects books and theirauthors with soldiers.”

According to Robinson,Pride and Pages’ next pro-jectkicksoff immediately.The organization is col-lecting new and gentlyused books for the Cincin-nati/Northern KentuckyInternational Airport’sUSO Military Lounge forsoldiers to take.

Howyou can helpThose interested in do-

nating books can contactPride and Pages on itsFacebook page.

Anyone interested indonating to the organiza-

tion can stop by any Heri-tage Bank or visitwww.prideandpages.org.

Those interested in do-nating to the Adopt-a-Unitprogram should contactthe Union city building at859-384-1511 for a wish listand those wishing to vol-unteering should emailFranxman at [email protected].

VILLA HILLS — AnyonedrivingalongRogersRoadin Villa Hills might noticea recent addition to thegrounds of the Villa HillsCivic Club.

It’s a playground,brought to the city by aresident who has achievedhis Eagle Scout award

with the Boy Scouts.Alexander Mize, a sen-

ior at Covington CatholicHighSchool andVillaHillsresident,wanted to use theservice project requiredto achieve the highest hon-or inBoy Scouting to bene-fit his hometown.

“I chose this project be-cause upon talking withmembers of the Civic Clubcommunity, it seemed likethis was something theyreally needed,” Mize said.“It’s not only given kidssomething to do whenthey’re at the Civic Clubwith the parents, but iteven gives them some-thing todoeven if they justwant to have fun.”

Five hundred servicehours went into the pro-

ject, and Mize said about50 volunteers helped withthe assembly of the play-set, which featuresswings, seesaws and aslide.

Money was raised forthe project through fund-raisers such as spaghettidinners, Mize said.

Planning for the play-ground,which startedcon-struction on April 14 camewith help from Villa Hillsresidents Ernie Brown,JackeGoetz, RonKing andTracey Ulrich. The CivicClub, Garden Club and La-dies Auxiliary of VillaHills also played roles inthe completion, Mize said.

“Since the beginningthe Villa Hills Civic ClubCommunityhasbeenan in-

tegral part to getting thisproject done,” Mize said.“It’s their project, the en-tire city of Villa Hills’ pro-ject, that I helped bring tofruition.”

Being an Eagle Scout isnot the only way Mizegives back to his commu-nity.

The Kentucky Gover-nor’s Scholar also tutorsand reads to the elderly atMadonna Manor. He sayshe hopes to attend collegenext fall to study electri-cal engineering.

“I hope to be able to getinvolved in Boy Scoutingin some way when I get tocollege,” Mize said.

The old saying claims youthis wasted on the young.

Not so at Beechwood HighSchool, where the girls basket-ball team is in the midst of asweeping youth movement.

Freshman Macy Stuempelleads the Tigers at 16 points pergame throughBeechwood’s firstfour, posting a 2-2 record withwins over Calvary and Coving-ton Latin. Hot on her heels forthe scoring lead is eighth-gradestudent Ally Johnson at 13 ppg.

Coming off a 19-win season in2011-12, the Tigers now havesquad with no seniors, so eventhe veterans are young. Still, ju-nior post players Raquel Barryand Elizabeth Giesky both havebeenpart of the varsity programsince seventh grade.

“They are pretty much likehaving second-year seniors onthe floor,” said head coach Ali-son McCarthy said. “They’vebeen around so long, beenthrough the ups and downs, thattheir leadership is invaluable.”

But it’s the young playersdriving the bus. Stuempel andJohnson share point- and shoot-ing-guard duties, leading athree-guard offense dependenton dribble drives and kick-outpasses.

“It can be scary,” McCarthysaid of turning over a team toplayers three or four years awayfrom senior prom. “There’s go-ing to be great times and timeswhen they really struggle. I’vetold them they don’t have to begreat all the time, but they doneed to be consistent. Consistenton defense, handling the ball, ef-fort.

“A lot of times younger play-ers want to be told exactlywhere to go and what to do.That’s not our offense. I’m a bigfan of teaching the kids to playthe game, and part of that isthem learning to create shots ontheir own,whether it’s on a driveor kicking it out if the drive getsstopped. We play inside out andwe have some good shooters.”

For her part, Johnson said noteven being in high school andcompeting with and against old-er players isn’t as scary as giv-ing what turned out to be herfirst newspaper interview.

“I’ve played somany games –I play year ‘round – that I don’treally get too nervous,” she said.“I get really excited when I getto play basketball.”

Johnson said her dad – for-mer Transylvania Universityplayer Keith Johnson – got herinterested in the game she be-gan playing in first grade. Bythe time she was in fifth gradeshe moved up to the middleschool squad with seventh- andeighth-graders. She played onthe Beechwood freshman andJV teams last season as a sev-enth-grader.

Johnson citesVanderbilt Uni-versity’s Gabby Smith, whosemother coached one of her AAUteams, as her favorite player.Johnson has worked out withSmith and even made a trip tothe University of Dayton to seethe Flyers host an early-seasongame against Vandy.

McCarthy likes the look ofher young team.

“We won 19 games last yearand this year we’re back in kindof a rebuilding mode, but we’regoing to be competitive,” Mc-Carthy said. “That’s kind of thefate of a small school from yearto year. You work with what youhave and you teach the game.”

Swimming season is underway in Kenton County. Here is alook at local teams:

Covington CatholicThe Colonels have one more

year of Max Williamson to cele-brate, and he and the team hopethat they get to rejoice on agrand scale at the state meet inFebruary.CovCathhas its sightsset on dethroning powerhouseSt. Xavier for the team champi-onship, which is always trickysince St. X’s depth allows it towin the title by large margins,though Cov Cath has threatenedat times.

“As always, the elusive statechampionship is our goal,” saidhead coach Richard Dickmann.“Over the past five years wehave seen our team numbers in-crease and our depth is the bestthat it has been in years. We’restill a very young team, the fu-ture is bright and the combina-tion of a strong roster of bothswimmers and divers will giveus a very good chance to achieveour goal.”

The chase starts with Wil-liamson, who signed to swim for

Stanford last month. He brokethe state record in the 200 indi-vidual medley and 500 freestylein the process of winning bothchampionships. He also led the400 free relay to a state title andthe 200 medley relay to secondplace.Williamsonalsogainedse-rious experience at the 2012Olympic Trials.

Chase Vennefron returnsfrom both relays, and RobbieNewman from themedley relay.Other returning starters includeLouie Hunt, Todd Sheets, ZachSmith,Mikey Summe,NateGra-del and Zach Stegman. A strongfreshman class could help, ledby Jake Lentsch, Brendan Mey-er, Josh Smith, Evan Brungs andBryce Day.

Dickmann said several rec-ords could be threatened thisyear if the team swims up to itspotential.

Covington LatinStephanie Tewes returns for

her second year as head coach.Returning starters are Leona

Nease, Michelle Bitter, KristaBorchers andPaulWintring.Topnewcomers include GraceThomas and Jack Johnson.

superstar Caitlyn Forman, whowas the MVP of the state meetafter leaving with a champion-ship and record in the 100 back-stroke. She helped the Pandasfinish third in the team stand-ings and is now swimming atAu-burn University.

Eighth-year head coach andformer Pandas standout Emily(Maier) Knoll always has rein-forcements at NDA, led by sen-ior swimmers MacKenzie Mar-groum and Julia Johnson. Mar-

groumsignedwith theNavy thisfall. She finished third in the 50freestyle and second in the 100free. Johnson, Margroum andOliviaKuykendall return from astate runner-up medley relay.

It took just two weeksfor the Scott High Schoolgirls basketball team toequal itswin total of a yearago.

The Eagles are off to a4-1start throughDec. 8, af-ter going just 4-28 in 2011-2012.After adisappointingseason, changes in the of-fensive and defensive phi-losophy were made. Onething the Eagles couldcount on heading into thisyear was getting qualitywork ethic from everyplayer on the team.

“We are off to a goodstart this year. Kids areplaying hard and meetingour expectations,” said

head coach Rhonda Klettesaid.

Thebiggestadjustmententering this year was anemphasis on playing morerelentless defense. Scottheld its first two oppo-nents under 30 points. Intheir four wins, the Eagleshave allowed an averageof 39 points per game.

“Defense has been ourmain focus,” said Klette.“Weareplayingamoreag-gressive style of play thanwe have in the past.”

Sophomore JennaTrimpe and seventh-grad-er Allyson Niece havebeen the team’s top scor-ers. The offense is also ad-justing to a different styleof play based on the cur-rent roster’s makeup.

Spreading the floor andpushing the ball have beenthe emphasis, rather thanslowing down the game inhalf court sets.

“We’re working on amore open post offense aswe are now very guard-oriented,” said Klette.“We’re also working ongetting out in transition.”

MadisonMeyer had ad-justed to playing in thepost this year. Holly Kall-meyer has provided aspark off the bench. Lan-don Brefeld leads the de-fense with her aggressiveplay. One of the keys to theEagles’ early-season suc-cess has been Scott’s in-your-face defensive inten-sity.

“Wearestillworkingon

getting ball pressure androtations down,” saidKlette. “We’re playing amore aggressive de-fense.”

The Eagles have fivemore games against localcompetition before head-ing toAtlanta to play in theWhitefield AcademyChristmas Classic. Whileonlyonemorewinwill sur-pass last year’s total, theEagleswill not be satisfiedwith just five wins. With arenewed focus on guardplay and defensive pres-sure, Scott is on its way toreaching double digit winsfor the first time since the2009-2010 team won 21games.

Scott plays at CalvaryChristian on Dec. 13.

Why are local business lead-ers spending $2 million to hire apublic relations firm to “per-suade” Northern Kentuckians toraise taxes on themselves? Dothey think we’re that stupid?Unfortunately, they knowwe’rethat stupid.

Our business leaders aregoing about this Brent SpenceBridge “crisis” all wrong. Thesolution is easier than anyonethinks. I recommend theMid-west create a Brent Spence Lot-tery (B.S.L.). The recent Power-ball insanity is the inspirationbehind this brilliant concept.

The B.S.L. should be almostimpossible to win. Impossibleodds don’t seem to deter gulliblepeople. I recommend the B.S.L.use a combination of numbers,

letters andanimals tomake the oddsas unobtainableas NorthernKentuckiansgetting cancerfrom drinkingour water. Nowthat is as closeto impossible asyou can get.

Each weekthere will be no winners and thatwill make the following week’stax refund scam even larger,causing more people to throwmoney into the governmentcoffers. Soon the B.S.L. will be inthe $500 million range. Once thathappens, the bridge will be fund-ed in no time. The good news is

only gullible people who play theB.S. Lottery will waste theirmoney.

I’m a little bit surprised thatour talented local business lead-ers didn’t think of it first. There’sno need for tolls, therefore thefederal government can continueto waste almost $4 trillion peryear. For deep-thinkers, thatamount equals the cost of build-ing 1,600 Brent Spence Bridgesper year. For those who can’thandle big numbers, that amountequals $11 billion per day or fourBrent Spence Bridges per day.

Everyone wins. Incompetentand corrupt federal and statepoliticians can continue to wastemoney and do whatever it is theydo all day. We will not need pub-lic-private partnerships where

politicians and businesses climbinto bed together and procreatesomething on taxpayers thatresembles Rosemary’s baby. Ourbusiness leaders will save $2million dollars so they will nothave to pass that loss on to con-sumers like us. The gullibleidiots that play the lottery canfeel good about themselves anddream about being wealthy bydoing nothing more than stand-ing in line. I know it sounds crazyenough to work.

Now that I think about theBrent Spence Lottery, it’s a ridic-ulous idea. Do you rememberback in 1989 when the KentuckyLottery began and helped trans-form our children into rocketscientists? I don’t either! Insteadof our children becoming rock-

ets, they became rocks. TheKentucky Lottery is just a tax-taking scam that has convinceduseful idiots to voluntarily givetax-takers more money to waste.

Here’s a better idea. I recom-mend legislation called YouNeglected It, You Pay For ItLegislative Act of 2013. This billwill confiscate federal pensionsfrom all members of Congresssince 1970. All their pensionfunds will be transferred to theBrent Spence Project. Only afterthe bridge is rebuilt and paid off,will pensions be restored to thesetax-takers. I like this idea betterthan tolls.

The womanhas been victimized once.Do not let Mr. Summe oranyone else victimize heragainwith the certitude thatthey know what is best forher. It is for a woman preg-nant from rape to decidethat. Mr. Summe would fur-ther the trauma if he had hisway tomake abortion illegaleven in cases of rape and in-cest.

This summer a new pro-gram was introduced in Ken-ton County that provides fam-ilies tools to address problemsat home. Family Day Campwas launched initially for kidscharged with truancy, runningaway and beyond control be-havior, and involves the par-ents and guardians as well.

After years of discussion,Thomas Cox and I have part-nered to establish a weekendgathering that brings familiestogether to work on issues ofbonding, boundaries, commu-nication and problem solving.The camp meets about once amonth and at the present timemost referrals originate fromthe state of Kentucky Cabinetfor Health and Family Ser-vices. Non-court referred fam-ilies are also welcome to at-tend any Family Day Camp tofocus on home issues. In addi-tion, camps can be held atvarious locations and are notlimited to families in KentonCounty.

Thomas has conducted fam-ily mediation for nearly 20years and has developed aprogram that teaches familiesa problem-solving model theycan begin utilizing the day oftheir first camp. The programis not intended to take theplace of long-term counselingneeds, but rather as a quickintervention than can helpaddress some challenges

quickly andestablishworking rulesfor both par-ents and kids.

I am excitedto partner withThomas whileutilizing myexperience asa prior juve-nile justiceofficial. Begin-

ning in the 1990s I helped es-tablish the first statewidealternative to detention pro-grams in Kentucky, and haveserved as superintendent ofthe regional juvenile detentioncenter for the 15 NorthernKentucky counties. I have alsoworked directly with familieswhile supervising juvenileprobation, as well as perform-ing casework in a privatechild-care facility.

Family Day Camp currentlymeets 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. monthlyon Saturdays in Fort Mitchell.Lunch is provided for full daycamps.

New program helpsfamilies in crisis

It has been a little more thanthree months since legislation Isponsored to crack down onillegal prescription drug abusebecame law, but for many Ken-tuckians, it hopefully feels likea lifetime.

I say that because we arestarting to see some true pro-gress when it comes to kickingpill pushers out of the state forgood and putting the brakes onan epidemic that claims thelives of at least three citizens aday across the commonwealth.

As Governor Beshear notedrecently, 10 pain clinics haveclosed since the law took effectin July, prescriptions for someof the most abused drugs aredropping and numerous in-vestigations are closing in onrogue doctors who prescriberecklessly. And that’s just thestart.

If there is one thing I havelearned during my time in theCapitol, however, it is that thisissue is always evolving. WhenI was attorney general, forexample, Internet pharmacieswere prominent, so much sothat those driving the trucksfor overnight package compa-nies would actually be followedby addicts who could not waitan extra minute for a shipment.When we stopped that method,drug seekers traveled to stateslike Florida, where oversightwas lax.

As those states began put-

ting a stop tothat trend, wesaw drug di-version spikehere in ourown backyard.These pillmills wereoften easy tospot, too; youjust had tolook for a lineof “patients”

trailing outside a doctor’s door.House Bill 1, which the Gen-

eral Assembly approved inApril, puts a stop to that prac-tice. It takes full advantage ofwhat has become one of thenation’s top prescription drugmonitoring programs – knownby its acronym, KASPER – andit gives law enforcement andmedical licensing boards alikethe information and oversightthey need to find pill-pushingdoctors and those who try togame the system to feed theiraddiction.

To be successful, this effortis requiring the help of all doc-tors who prescribe medicine,because they are the gatekeep-ers. No program can be trulyeffective without having every-one on the same page.

This legislation does nothinder proper medical care.Doctors still have the sameauthority to do what they thinkis medically necessary, andthose who claim otherwise are

not being truthful. We just wantto make sure that they monitortheir patients’ prescriptiondrug history as all reputabledoctors should.

While the legislation’s con-cept is clear, there has beensome confusion in the wake ofproposed regulations that, it iscrucial to note, were written byphysicians and not legislators.These licensing boards wantedthe authority to fill in the fineprint to carry the law out, andwe in the legislature agreedbecause they are the experts. Itis ironic, then, that most of thecomplaints I have heard fromphysicians are not about thelaw so much as the rules theirown licensing board wrote.

Fortunately, regulations aremuch easier to change than law,and the licensing board is cur-rently rewriting the rules. Atthe same time, there is a legis-lative oversight committee thatis studying what improvementsthe General Assembly mayneed to make in 2013.

Still, after seeing what wehave been able to accomplish ina short period of time, I’m moreconvinced than ever that we areon the right path when it comesto putting a true dent in theprescription drug epidemic.Those who believe otherwiseare, to be blunt, just wrong.

While our region has a sig-nificant number of Fortune 500companies that do businessinternationally, we have one ofthe lowest percentages of for-eign-born residents and resi-dents who speak a foreign lan-guage.

When Chiquita Brands citedthe lack of a bilingual work-force able to work easily withChiquita’s substantial opera-tions in Latin America, werealized we needed to get busyand take advantage of the re-sources that are already here.

The Hispanic Chamber Cin-cinnati USA recently an-nounced The Cincy BilingualAdvantage, a new economicimpact project designed to helpcompanies and civic organiza-tions compete in the globalmarketplace by using a web-based system to access bi-lingual resources. The intent is

for local com-panies andorganizationsto be able toaccess bi-lingual localtalent to sup-port business,academic orhumanitarianefforts.

Our goal isto have 1,500bilingual resi-

dents in the database in thefirst year of the project. Allbilingual residents throughoutthe region with knowledge ofany foreign language are beingasked to enter their informationinto the website at www.cincy-bilin gualtalent.com.

The Hispanic Chamber part-nered with the IT departmentof Cincinnati State Technicaland Community College to

create a website with a search-able database to provide re-sources and contact informa-tion to Cincinnati companies,educational institutions andnot-for-profit organizations,allowing their needs to be metby local talent. In order to makethe search process simple, theinformation is being stored infour groups or categories 1)high school students 2) collegestudents, 3) professionals and4) residents.

During the coming months,we are encouraging all bilin-gual members of the communi-ty to enter their data into thisfree platform. The new websitewww.cincybilingualtalent. comwill be fully operational forthose seeking bilingual re-sources by Feb. 1, 2013.

It’s interesting howyour requests coincidewith current events. The

Ruth LyonsChildren’sFund is infull swingand I’vehad sever-al requestsfor herfamouscoffee-cake. It’s aspecialway to

honor this woman whohas had such a positiveimpact on us.

Ruth Lyons’coffeecake

I have a few versionsof this recipe, but this isthe one that’s supposed tobe Ruth’s original. I’vemade this twice now, oncefollowing the recipe be-low and once making itwith 21⁄4 cups flour, 11⁄2teaspoons cinnamon, 1⁄4teaspoon salt, 1⁄2 cup oil, 2teaspoons vanilla and novinegar. (The vinegar isused to “sour” the milk,making it more like but-termilk). I made a thinicing to glaze it, as well.The difference betweenthe two was slight. This isa straightforward, simplecoffeecake. If you want aricher tasting one with athicker cinnamon topping,I have my holiday over-night coffeecake on myblog.

1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, darkpreferred

21⁄2 cups flour1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon salt3⁄4 cup oil1 teaspoon vinegar1 cupmilk1 egg, lightly beaten1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Mix the first sixingredients. Add oil andstir until crumbly. Re-serve and set aside 3⁄4 cupfor topping. Add vinegarto milk, then add to sugarmixture. Add egg and

soda; mix well. Pour into asprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan. Sprinkle with top-ping. Bake 30 minutes.

My best clone ofWilliams-Sonomapeppermint bark

You didn’t think I couldlet the holidays go bywithout sharing yet anoth-er version, did you? Someof you have had trouble inthe past with the barkshattering/separating.That happens somewhateven with the purchasedbark, but this recipekeeps that to a minimum,if at all. Out of all therecipes I’ve made forbark throughout theyears, using differentmelting methods andchocolates, I’ve comeback to my classic way ofteaching students. By theway, check out the photo.Can you tell which is mineand which is Williams-Sonoma’s? I used Krogerreal semi-sweet and whitechocolate morsels.

2 cups semi sweetchocolate chips, dividedinto 11⁄4 cup and 3⁄4 cup

measures11⁄2 teaspoons peppermintextract, divided into 1teaspoon and 1⁄2 teaspoonmeasures

23⁄4 cups white chocolatechips, divided into 21⁄4 cupand 1⁄2 cupmeasures

1⁄4 cup crushed peppermintcandy

Line a cookie sheetwith one piece of foil,about 10 inches by 12inches. Or do the same ina 13-inch by 9-inch pan.

Put 11⁄4 cups semi-sweetchocolate in heat proofbowl. Set over a saucepanthat has 1 inch of steam-ing water, making surebowl does not touch wa-

ter. (This is a makeshiftdouble boiler). Heatshould be turned to low.Stir until chocolate is justabout melted, then re-move bowl from pan andstir 3⁄4cup more in rest ofsemisweet chocolate, a bitat a time, until all is melt-ed. If necessary, put thebowl back on the pan tohelp melt. If there’s anymoisture on the bottom ofthe bowl, wipe it dry. Stirin 1 teaspoon of the ex-tract and pour onto foil,spreading in even layer.Tap pan on counter toremove any air bubbles.Let sit at room temper-ature until just about set,anywhere from15-20

minutes. When you pressyour finger into the choc-olate a very slight in-dentation will remain.

Put 21⁄4 cups whitechocolate in clean bowland repeat process formelting, stirring in re-maining 1⁄2 cup chips afterremoving bowl from pan.Stir in 1⁄2 teaspoon extract.Pour over chocolate layerand spread.

Sprinkle with candy. Ifnecessary, gently pressinto chocolate. Let set atroom temperature untilcompletely firm.

Peel bark off foil andbreak into pieces. Store,covered, at room temper-ature up to a month or so.If it’s extremely warm inthe house, store, covered,in refrigerator and bringto room temperaturebefore eating.
