If a kid doesn’t read by thetime they hit third gradechances are they won’t gradu-ate high school and that’s some-thing Brent Cooper wants tochange.

Cooper, a Fort Thomas resi-dent and owner of Covington-based C-Forward InformationTechnologies, is being recog-nized for his efforts to promoteliteracy at a young age with theKentonCounty Public Library’sMary Ann Mongan LiteracyAward.

Childhood reading is criticalto the economy, Cooper says,

which is why he’s so passionateabout co-chairing programslike the Read On! campaign inGreaterCincinnatiwithUniver-sity of Cincinnati PresidentSanta Ono.

In the past Cooper’s servedas chairman of the NorthernKentucky Chamber of Com-merce, with improving educa-tion his top priority when hetook over in August 2011. Healso works as a math tutor atHighlandsMiddleSchoolwhereone of his two daughters goes.

“From a business communi-ty look at it, not only dowe needmore high school diplomas, weneed more postsecondary de-grees,” Cooper said. “All the

new jobs are requiring beyondhigh school.”

Cooper appealed to the li-brary’s foundation because he’spromoting education within thebusiness community, said DaveSchroeder, the library’s execu-tive director.

“We were really very im-pressedwith thework he’s donewith literacy in general,”Schroeder said. “His work withGateway Community and Tech-nical College, the NorthernKentucky Education Council,Covington Partners in Preven-tion. We were also very im-pressed with his concept of

FORT THOMAS —More than half of thejuniorclassatHighlandsHighSchoolwillbe better prepared to take the ACT testthis year thanks to the work of one localbusiness, TorchPrep.

Those students are signedup to partic-ipate in theTorchPrep’sACTboot camp, afive-weekcourse aimedat improving stu-dent’s ACT scores.

The business began about four yearsago, when Fort Thomas resident MarkTreas and formerHighlandsHigh Schoolteacher Rhett Barbour saw a need formore ACT preparation.

“We saw a massive hole between thestudents’ performance in school and theirtest scores,” Treas said. “Wewanted to dosomething to address that problem.”

During the boot camp, students under-go strategy training and take severalpractice ACT tests.

Treas said it’s a lot of work, with stu-dents putting in about 40 hours totalthroughout the course, but it pays off.

Highlands High School Principal Bri-an Robinson said they did a comparisonwhere they administered a practice testto the students, then tested them againfour months later.

Whilemoststudentssawanincreaseofat least 2 points, students who participat-ed in TorchPrep’s course saw an increaseof about 4 points.

Local government con-tributions to pension fundsfor public employees havebeen on a steady increasefor 10 years until 2013.

“They have providedus with our contributionrates fornextyear, and in-explicably they’re goingdown,” said CampbellCounty Administrator

Robert Horine.Employees fromcities,

the county, and other enti-ties, including fire dis-tricts, pay into the CountyEmployees RetirementSystem (CERS), which isone part of the KentuckyRetirement Systems. Thestate-controlled Ken-tucky Retirement Sys-tems sets pension contri-bution rates for all thepension funds, Horinesaid.

The confusion aboutthe CERS rates goingdown is in reaction to theoverall state pension sys-tem being underfunded,he said. CERShas been ona “10-year ramp up” inpension contributionrates to become fullyfunded, and is in bettershape financially than thestate workers’ retirement

fund, Horine said.The county anticipates

paying $1.5million in pen-sion contributions in 2013,up 23 percent just fromthe 2009 contribution of$1.22 million, he said.

Apparently, the 2013rate decrease wasachieved over anticipatedsavings on the health in-surance side,Horine said.

Thepoint isnot that thecounty wants to paymorein pension contributions,he said.

“We’re like wait a min-ute, when you’re in a hole,you don’t dig the holedeeper,” Horine said.

Horine said he and oth-ers don’t understand whythe state pension boarddidn’t at least hold ratesthe same.

The rates of pensioncontribution are basedupon a percentage ofmatchanemployees’ sala-ry. There are separaterates for hazardous em-ployees including policeand firefighters, and non-hazardous employees.The non-hazardous ratewill decrease in 2013 to18.89 percent, down fromthe 19.55 percent from2012. The 2013 hazardousrate will be 35.7 percent,downfromthe2012rateof37.6 percent.

Horine said he expectsrates to continue to in-crease in future years asthey have in the past, butthe unexpected break iswelcome.

“This is a fluke, thisdoesnotmeanwe’reoutofthe woods,” he said. “Thismeans that we’re just fol-lowing the formula.”

TheMaryannMonganLiteracy Award was cre-ated in 2009 to honorMongan, the original ex-ecutive director of the li-brary, a position she heldfor 41 years. Cooper willbe awarded at the Co-vington Business Coun-

cil’s Jan. 24 luncheon.It’s an honor he wants

to sharewith everyone atC-Forward.

“I know they gave it tome specifically, but it’sreally a reflection of ourentire company,” Coopersaid.

Money isbest spent onearly childhood educa-tion, something the en-tire company is champi-oning,withCooperfocus-ing on getting kids toschool, reducing the

summer slide and mak-ing sure they’re ready tostart kindergarten.

“The biggest bang forthebuck is to spend thosedollars in the earlyyears,” Cooper ex-plained. “So I’ve beentrying to spread thewordto get kids ready for kin-dergarten.”

Robinson said whileteachers try to educatethe students about thekinds of things that willbe on the test, they can’tspend every class fo-cused on testing.

“With this partner-ship,wecanfocusoncur-

riculum, and (Torch-Prep) can equip studentswith test-taking skills,”Robinson said.

Treas said while theprogram is offered atseveral high schoolsthroughout thearea, theyhave received the big-gest response from stu-dents at Highlands.

This year, more thanhalf of the junior class issigned up to participatein the upcoming bootcamp in March.

“I think this is a pow-erful reflection of theFort Thomas communityand its expectations of

excellence,” Treas said.“We work with a lot ofschools, and I am contin-ually struck by the levelof focus and leadershipat Highlands.”

Robinson said High-lands students have a lotof support from theirteachers, their parentsand the community,which is one that reallyvalues education.

ALEXANDRIA — TaylorFry, a fourth-graderatCamp-bell Ridge ElementarySchool, has won first place inthe Kentucky “Farm toSchool” art contest.

Fry said she looked at the“TruMoo” milk carton shedrinks at school and visual-ized how it got to her cafete-ria tray.

“I used to live on a farmand have cows, and my dadworked on a dairy farm,” shesaid.

Fry said she decided toshowinpictureshowthemilkcame from cows in a field,was sent to a store and then tothe school since the motto ofthe contest was “Farm toSchool.”

Receiving news of win-ning the state contestwas un-expected and surprising, shesaid.

“Because we have a lot ofgood artists inmy class,” Frysaid.

Patricia Sullivan, theschool’s nutrition manager,said many students createdexcellent posters, but Fryreally understood andshowed the purpose behindthe contest.

Farm to School is an initia-tive to bring local farm prod-ucts and schools together, ac-cording to Kentucky pro-gram page on the nationalwebsitewww.farmtoschool.org.

Sullivan said a first ever“Farm to School”DayOct.17,was connected with the artcontest to show childrenabout where food comesfrom. The day included a livecowcalf, a beehive, anddem-onstrations about canning,she said. Chickens broughtfor the day actually laid eggsthat day while at the school,Sullivan said.

“We try to teach the kidsit’s not a matter of just goingto the store and buying food,”

she said.Sullivanworks in the cafe-

teria at Campbell Ridge.Many students, even oneswho come from local farms,often don’t clearly under-stand where their food iscoming from, she said.

Sullivan said CampbellRidge art teacher Julie Burk-hardt deserves credit for di-recting students to create en-tries for the contest. A selec-tion of 30 other pictures cre-ated by students for thecontest will be displayed onthe walls of the cafeteria.

Stephanie Caldwell, thedistrict’s food service direc-tor, said students from threegrades atCampbellRidge en-teredthecontest,andshewas

glad to have the art teacherencouraging students to en-ter.

JimWhaley, a chef for Jef-fersonCounty Public Schoolsin Louisville, will visit Camp-bell Ridge and the district’sfood service director be-cause of Fry’s winning entry,according to a news releasefrom Campbell CountySchools.

Fry’s artwork winning thecontest is a big achievementbecause hundreds of stu-dents from around Kentuckycreated entries, Sullivansaid.Fryalsoreceives$50forher winning entry.

CAMPBELL COUNTY — Theboys bowling team at NewportCentral Catholic has been goodunder pressure. So when thestakes reached their peak, theThoroughbreds used their con-fidence to edge rival Highlandsin the last match of the regularseason Jan. 17 at Walt’s Centerin Newport.

NCCwon4-3overHighlands,pulling into a final tie with the

Bluebirds for the regular-sea-son Division 2 title. Both teamswere 6-2 in district play, andNewCath finished 37-26 inpointswhileHighlands finished58-12.

“I’m glad that we won to endit for the seniors on a good notebefore we go into the region-als,” said freshmanBobbyMey-er. “Our team is really close to-gether. We’re all closely knit.”

Highlands dominated playafter twoteamcombinedgamesand led by 274 pins, eventually

winning a third point for totalpins.ButNewCathwonthefinalfour games in the match toclaim the overall win. The finaltwo games were in the Bakersystem, in which five team-mates roll two frames apiecefor one score. NewCath won194-168 then 201-169 in the de-ciding contests.

“Everybody has done a greatjob,” said NCC boys coach Den-ny Barnes. “I have kids whonever bowled before andthey’re learning and doing a

great job. We’re usually notgood atBaker games. Today,weaveraged 195 and If we can dothat, we’ll make some hay.”

The upcoming regional tour-nament is decided on Bakergames.

“They’re decent bowlers.Bakers is just a differentgame,” Barnes said. “They’renot used to moving lanes. Ittakes them longer to adjust andyou don’t have time to adjust.”

It was a familiar re-sult, but it never getsold. For the 10th time in11 years, Bishop Bros-sart’s boys basketballteam won the 10th Re-gion All “A” Classic.This year’s edition ofthe Mustangs is off to a17-3 start while doingthings differently thanprevious teams.

“We’re a much moreversatile team than wehave been the last cou-ple of years,” said headcoachMike Code.

Despite the fact thatthere are only two sen-iors on the roster —guard Ben Uebel andforward Justin Saun-ders — the Mustangsare not short on varsityexperience. Most of thejuniors on this year’ssquad played signifi-cant varsity minutes assophomores a seasonago.

“Even though weonly have two seniors,we’re actually more ex-perienced thanwewerelast year,” said Code.

Uebel’s play hasbeen a difference-mak-er. The point guard isplaying with the confi-dence that comes afterhaving a full year ofstarting under his belt.The stability he pro-vides at thepoint has al-lowed the offense tothrive through his fa-cilitation.

“He has really im-proved,” Code said.“He’smuchmore confi-dent this year. There’s

not a lot you can showhim that he hasn’t seenin his year and a half ofexperience.”

Junior guard JakeJennings has provideda lift off of the bench.Junior forward ErikRieger’s improvementhas been a pleasant sur-prise. Finding contribu-tions from the roster’sdepth has helped theMustangs throughsome early season ad-justments.

“We changed a fewthings,” said Code. “Ittook us a little while toget used to it.”

The biggest differ-ence for the Mustangsthis year has been theirtransition offense.Withathletic big men, theMustangs do not wantto slow the game downand feed the post. In-stead, they want to out-run teams with slowerpost players.

“We want to get outand run more than wehave in years past,”Code said. “We havevery mobile posts andwe want to take advan-tage of that.”

Brossart will face afamiliar foe in the firstround of the Touch-stone Energy All “A”Classic. Last year,Louisville Collegiatedefeated Brossart inthe All “A” Classic. TheMustangs will onceagain face the SeventhRegion champions inthe first round of thestate tournament. Theteams tipoff at1p.m.onThursday, Jan. 24.

NEWPORT — Dan Wag-ner has been a longtimemember of the NewportCentral Catholic family,but his favoritemoment oflast week involved his im-mediate family.

Wagner was named asnew head football coach atNewCath last week, mov-ing up from defensive co-ordinatorafterEddieEvis-ton left to become offen-sive coordinator atGeorgetown College, hisalma mater. Eviston ledthe Thoroughbreds to twoClass 2A state champion-ships in his three seasonsand was 35-8 overall.

“It’s special,” Wagnersaid. “They don’t do thisvery often up there. It’ssomething I’ve alwayswantedtododatingbacktoway back then. When allwas said anddone, the bestthing was telling my momanddad Igot the job; itwasthe neatest thing. I’m for-tunate enough to still havethem around.”

Wagner was defensivecoordinator for NCC since1999, working under bothEviston and Bob Schneid-er, who retired after the2009 season and is tie forsecond in Kentucky with345 wins.

A 1978 NewCath gradu-ate, Wagner played forSchneider and startedcoaching the freshmanteam at NCC in 1980.

Before returning toNewCath in 1999, Wagnercoached at CampbellCounty,Norwood and Indi-an Hill high schools. Butpart of his mind was al-waysontopof thehillover-

looking the downtown Cin-cinnati skyline.

“I like the way it feelslike home,” he said. “Youcan talk to anyone whowent there and it’s thesame. Everyone knowseach other and it’s a com-fortable feeling.”

Like Eviston, a formerNCC standout who was onSchneider’s staff duringhis final years, the schooldidn’t have togo far for thenext head man.

“After meeting withDan, we knew we had theman we wanted for thejob,” said NCC athletic di-rector Rob Detzel. “Dan isaNewCathguyandhisrec-ord as an assistant speaksfor itself. Hiring CoachWagner will make for asmooth transition for ourfootball program, and webelieve he will continuethe great tradition that isNewport Central Catholicfootball.”

Wagner said almost theentire coaching staff willreturn and the team has tofind a regular-seasongame and scrimmage for

the 2013 season.NewCath was one of

three schools in the countyto replace its head footballcoach so far in January,and the other two alsotabbed new leaders withmuchwinning experience.

Bellevue appointedJohnnyPoynter as its newhead coach, replacingMikeCroley,whowas14-10in two seasons. Poynter,like Wagner, moves upfrom the defensive coordi-nator spot at the team. Hehelped coach BourbonCounty to a state champi-onship in 1997 as an assis-tant, andwasheadcoachatthreeschoolsfrom2002-11,PikeCountyCentral,Trim-ble County and BourbonCounty. According toBellevue, Poynter led Piketo a school record forwins,Trimble to its first-everplayoff win, and Bourbonto its first winning seasonin 12 years and first play-off win in 15.

Brossart tabbed LeeTeegarden to lead its pro-gram. Teegarden, a life-long Alexandria native,

has an extensive coachingbackground. Hewas assis-tant varsity football coach,head junior varsity andhead freshmen coach atCampbell County HighSchool from1998-2002.

He was assistant foot-ball coach and offensivecoordinator at Ryle HighSchool from 2003-05 whiledoing his student teachingand working at Gray Mid-dle School as a certifiedspecial education teacher.He coordinated both theoffense and offensive line.

He was head coach atPendleton County from2006-2009, improving Pen-dleton from 0-11 to 7-4 in2009 before returning toRyle as offensive coordi-nator. The 2010 Ryle teamscored the third mostpoints in 6A, finishing 12-1overall.

“It helps, especially inBakers because you’re onthe spot to throw onestrike and set up the nextperson,” Grosser said.“Getting used to the pres-sure infootball andsocceris defintitely preparingme for this.”

InNewCath’s two teamwins, Luke Holtz (193), TyMeyer (166) and JoeyNie-haus (152) edged High-lands 511-508 in one. Bob-by Meyer (213), ElliotRust (201) and MaxMcHugh (181) bouncedback to beat their aver-ages for a 595-515 win.

Highlands is led byfreshman Jake Farley,who averages 214 for theyear. Brack Tucker andBrandon Caruso each av-

erage 189. Farley placedninth in last year’s Region5 singles tournament, justshy of a medal.

“I’ve been very im-pressed with Jake Far-ley,” said Highlands headcoach Glenn Schmidt.“He’s done very well. Hefinishedhighasaneighth-grader and this year he’seven stronger and I hopehe can do even better.”

Tucker had a 241 and192 against NewCath andFarley shot 217-199. NickMester shot a 224 and Ja-mieKillen 215 in theBlue-birds’ early wins.

The Bluebirds alsohave high hopes for theRegion 5 tournamentsthis year. The individualchampionshipwas Jan. 22after Recorder printdeadlines, and the teamtournament is Wednes-day, Jan. 30. All regionalsare at Super Bowl Belle-wood in Newport.

A publication of

JANUARY 24, 2013 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • A7

Failure and lagging behind.That used to be Kentucky’s

national story when it came toschools, and so the release ofany education rankings wascause for embarrassed cring-ing.

No longer. Thanks to dec-ades of hard work and aggres-sive policy changes, Kentuckyhas a new reputation: Nationalleader. And it’s a cause ofcelebration.

That new narrative wasbolstered and solidified by therecent update of one of theeducation world’s most re-spected and comprehensiveassessments of school perfor-mance and improvement.

The publication EducationWeek – a national, independentsource that relies on compre-hensive research and currentrealities – ranked Kentucky10th in the nation in its annual“Quality Counts” report. Thereport is based on an assess-ment of more than 150 keyeducation indicators, andgrades states on their educa-tion policy efforts and out-comes.

The seeds of Kentucky’simprovement were sown withthe passage of the KentuckyEducation Reform Act in 1990and later with the approval of2009’s Senate Bill 1 – both ofwhich demanded significantchanges in teaching and as-sessments.

As a result, Kentucky hasmoved up in the EducationWeek rankings for the pastseveral years. In 2010, weplaced 34th in the nation. Lastyear we jumped to 14th. Andwith the 2013 report, Kentuckyhas broken into the top 10 witha grade of B-, bettering thenational average of C+. Thehighest ranked state wasMaryland with a B.

“Quality Counts” examinesa wide range of policies andresults. On one level, it’s ameasure of current perfor-mance, but it’s also a measureof forward progress. Clearly,Kentucky is on the move.

Most notably, Kentuckyranked in the top 20 in fourout of the six categories exam-ined. The state was recognizedfor:

» connecting the K-12 edu-cation system with earlylearning, higher education andthe world of work.

» efforts to improve teach-ing.

»K-12 achievement. (Ken-tucky was among the statesshowing the most rapid im-provement.)

» standards, assessmentsand accountability.

We can, and should, beproud of these statistics. Theyreflect the amazing work be-ing undertaken by teachers,administrators, staff, boardmembers, parents, students,business and community lead-ers and lawmakers. It is diffi-cult work. Yet, despite budget

cuts, no money for textbooks,higher expectations, new stan-dards and a new testing andaccountability system, Ken-tucky teachers and studentsare succeeding.

However, there is one areaof the “Quality Counts” reportthat we should heed as a warn-ing and as a clarion call foraction. That is the area ofschool finance.

In education funding, Ken-tucky failed miserably – a lowF. Kentucky spends $1,685 lessper pupil than other states onaverage, and only about 12percent of our students go toschool in districts with fund-ing that matches or exceedsthe national average (adjustedfor regional cost differences).

We have much to celebratein this “Quality Counts” re-port. But imagine where ourstudents could be if we wereadequately funding ourschools.

The recession and its after-math required 13 separatebudget reductions. While basicclassroom funding was pre-served, an increase in the

number of students meant lessmoney spent per student andreduced services to children.

Our basic funding formulafor classroom funding – Sup-port Educational Excellence inKentucky (SEEK) – has notchanged since 2008. If wecontinue to flat-fund our class-rooms, the progress we’vemade, as noted in “QualityCounts,” will stagnate or pos-sibly erode. Our children willbe the ones who lose. We couldand we should be doing moreto adequately fund educationin Kentucky.

It’s time we find new reve-nue that both fosters economicactivity and also allows us toinvest in our people, our work-force and our schools. It is aninvestment in Kentucky’sfuture and one that will payoff exponentially with a morecompetitive workforce,stronger economy and im-proved quality of life for thepeople of the commonwealth.

Kentucky cracks Top 10 in education

Learning about Interna-tional Humanitarian Law (IHL)is relevant, meaningful anduseful for young people in allsocieties, regardless of the

absence of waror conflict andunderstandingour roles andwhat we can doas a citizen is ahelpful tool.

We current-ly have thehighest per-centage ofyounger gener-ation (thoseborn after

1980) that will shape the future;therefore helping them to un-derstand their roles as a globalcitizen is paramount.

The American Red Crosshelps the public, especiallyyounger generations, to un-derstand their world throughinternational humanitarian laweducation, both in and out ofclassrooms. This year, theCincinnati Chapter will joinseven other chapters national-ly to implement the IHL PeerEducation Program for youngpeople.

The programwill run fromFeb. 23 through the end ofApril and consists of threestages: Explore, Address, andImplement. Themain trainingon Feb. 23-24 will be led byRachele Tardi, senior adviserfor peer education fromWash-ington, D.C., who has a widerange of peer education experi-ence with the British RedCross.

The participants, TeamMembers (ages 13-17) andTeamMentors (ages 18-25),will be working to explore theimportance of protecting therights of people affected bywar, address an IHL-relatedissue, and implement an actionproject on what they learnedfrom the training. One teamwill be selected and sponsoredto attend the first National

Youth Conference inWashing-ton, D.C., on June 1-2. The par-ticipants will also be able touse this experience to fulfilltheir service learning hoursfor school. The applicationdeadline for this program isFeb. 1.

One of the great emphasesof this project will be role play-ing, which give young people apersonal experience to un-derstand an “abstract” conceptsuch as International Humani-tarian Law. Role playing helpsto put an idea into a humanitar-ian perspective. It may beharder to understand an idea,but it’s easier when we put aface into the story.

One day I am a shopkeeperin Bangkok, Thailand, whorisks losing business for pro-tecting a victim of a streetviolence. Another day I am aCatholic factory worker whowent to incredible lengths tosave a Jewish stranger fromthe Nazis in Germany. Thenext, I amGrace Lorch, awhite woman, who risked herlife to escort Elizabeth Eckfordthrough themob in 1954 infront of Little Rock CentralHigh School. Taking on theseroles helps us understand theconcept of a “bystander” inconflict and war situation.

International HumanitarianLaw is not only relevant forthose working in war situation,actually what happens in theworld right now affects uslocally. Jelaluddin Rumi, a 14th

century Sufi poet said, “Be alamp, a lifeboat, or a ladder.”The decision is yours.

The Enquirer recentlyreported that the NorthernKentucky Tea Party and tradi-tional Republican Party haveunited. I’m skeptical. If true,it would seem to reflect theirrecognition of their mutuallong-term vulnerability fol-lowing the last election. But

I’m still skep-tical.

Let’s lookto the recentpast. In 2010local Repub-lican favoriteson TreyGrayson,after havingwon two state-wide elec-tions, wasdefeated in

his bid for the U.S. Senate byRand Paul, a downstate doctorwho had never run for elec-tion. The local party estab-lishment was not happy. Andfromwhat I hear, many haveneither forgotten nor forgivensince.

Meanwhile, over the pastthree year the Northern Ken-tucky Tea Party has opposedcounty library taxes, schooltaxes, the Area Planning Com-mission Tax, and somewhatunbelievably, a modest in-crease in water treatment ratesto pay for removal of knowncarcinogens from our drinkingwater. As I’ve observed tosome, these folks seem to have

a problem not only with gov-ernment but with certain fun-damental components of ourevolving civilization.

Except, of course, that theydrive on publicly financedroads, in cars that meet gov-ernment standards, breatheclean air, drink the water, eatFDA 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 amyriad of natural andman-made adversities.

In other words: they relyon multitudes 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 alongwith their fellow citizens.

Former U.S. Supreme CourtChief Justice OliverWendellHolmes – hardly a liberal – saidover a century and a half agothat “taxes are the price wepay for civilization.”

As local Republican leaders

know, 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.

United Republican Party? I don’t think so

For the past severaldays, I’ve been testingrecipes for classic stews,including chicken fricas-

see andbeef bour-guignon.I’m in thetweakingstage for abeef stewthat has anolive but-ter swirl init. When itgets to the“ohmy

gosh this is perfect”stage, I’ll be one happycook. 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 themomwho

wanted to make a barbe-cue-type sandwich forher preschooler butdidn’t want somethingreal spicy. This freezeswell. This is good on slid-er buns topped with slawfor Super Bowl parties aswell. Or put in a fonduepot and serve with Fritoscoops or tortilla chips.

1pound lean ground beef1⁄4 cup diced onion ormoreto taste

1diced 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 remaining

ingredients. Bring to agentle boil, lower to asimmer for a fewmin-utes.

Greek cooking buddy atJungle Jim’s. We teachLebanese/Greekmenustogether 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

Blender bananabread

This is themost moistand delicious bananabread I’ve made in a longtime. I have a “tastes likeBob Evans” bananabread recipe onmy 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 banana

bread to taste good, thebananas 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 tomake1 cuppuree

1 cup vegetable oil2 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla11⁄2 cups flour1 cup sugar1 teaspoon baking soda1⁄2 teaspoon salt1 cupwalnuts, chopped inblender (optional)

Little bit of sugar for

sprinkling 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 bananamix-ture over dry ingredientsandmix 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.

“Please, please giveme one!” Nosey barkedas I opened the oven doorand carefully removedtwo cookie sheets full ofcrispy peanut butter dogbiscuits.

“They’re too hot, youhave to wait for them tocool,” I said firmly, plac-ing them on top of therefrigerator, safely out ofpaws reach.

“Come on, Lady!” shehowled, twirling aroundthe kitchen in a displayof begging that could gether cast on ABC’s “Danc-ing With the Stars.”

“You could blow onone for me or better yet,dunk one in somemilk.That would cool it off!”

“Good try,” I laughed,

getting apaper tow-el andwiping thedrool fromher mouth.“Now, golie downand wait.”

BassetHoundsare notvery pa-

tient. That’s one of manythings I’ve learned overthe past two years. Andthat’s why I was bakingthe dog biscuits, to helpcelebrate Nosey’s second“Gotcha Day.”

It is hard to believethat it has been two yearssince my husband Tomand I drove two hours in

a blizzard to pick up thatseven pound puppy. Wewere numb, our heartsbroken, as our fifteen-and-a-half year old Cock-er Spaniel, Nipper haddied that very morning.My Father, insisted thatwe get another dog thatvery day.

“Marsolete,” he said,kindly yet firmly, “Listento your dear old Dad. Youand Tom need anotherpuppy now. You shouldn’thave empty arms for somuch as a day. I’m notsaying that you shouldn’tgrieve Nipper, but, Iknow you. You are thekind of person who has tohave a dog. You will getanother someday, so do ittoday. I’ll buy you any

dog you want. Just get apuppy who needs you inthe here and now. Thatwill be the very best wayfor you to move on.”

My first reaction wasto argue that it was toosoon. After all, Nipperhad only been gone for afew hours. Getting a newdog that quickly seemedcold. What kind of peoplewould run out and got anew dog that quickly?But, Tom and I werebeside ourselves withgrief. Nipper was nearly16 years old and had beenill for some time. But,though his death was nottotally unexpected, it hitus doubly hard. We hadmarried later in life andnot had any human chil-dren, so he had become asurrogate, a “fur baby”that we doted on andmade pretty much thecenter of our universe.

We were besotted withNipper. He was not thefirst dog that Tom and Ihad owned, but he wasthe first one that we hadshared as a couple. Nip-per was ours and he add-ed a great deal of loveand laughter for ourmarriage. He went onvacation with us, weadded his name and pawprint to our Christmascards and he even had hisown fan club, a group ofneighborhood childrenwho would come to visithim. We created dozensof little traditions andsayings that only wewere privy to. Nipperwas (as I was fond ofsaying): “The perfectfurry embodiment of ourlove.” I’ll admit that webecame one of those “dogcrazy” couples that peo-ple laugh at behind their

backs, but, you knowwhat? We didn’t care. Itworked for us and wewere happy.

Tom and I agreed thatmy dadwas right, that wewould be getting anotherdog and the only questionwas when. Overwhelmedby grief, we decided totake a leap of faith andtake his advice, so, I madea few calls and found abreeder who had a litterof Basset Hound puppiesthat were ready for adop-tion on that very day.Welocated that little whitefarmhouse and trudgedthrough a foot of snow toget to the front door. Thefamily who owned it wel-comed us warmly and ledus into their living roomcomplete with a lit Christ-mas tree, candles and ablazing fire in a rusticstone fireplace.

I had told them on thetelephone that we werelooking for a little girl,so, moments later, theirdaughter entered theroomwith a BassetHound puppy under eacharm. There had been twofemales in the litter, oneblondish and white andthe other, tri-color. Ireached for the tri-colorone and started to laughand cry at the same time.

“Is that the one youwant, Sweetie?” Tomasked. I nodded and heembraced us both. Itwasn’t the way we wouldhave wished it to be, butthat was the way it was.We had given Nipper thebest life we could andnow that it was over, wewere blessed with theopportunity to have an-other dog. We grievedNipper, but, Nosey in hercharming little puppyway, kept pulling us backto the here and now as weattended to her needs.

Two years later, Noseyhas become an integralpart of our lives. Wewillnever forget Nipper, butwe have trulymoved on.We opened our hearts andNosey stepped right in,not taking Nipper’s place,but creating her own.

Truly, love is ourgreatest renewable re-source.

“Write ifyou get work.”

In the 1950s,a radio come-dian would signoff with thisphrase. Whowould havethought that in2013 findingwork for sea-soned, profes-sional, experi-enced workers would besuch a chore?

In my last column, Iwrote about the efforts ofa 55+ Task Force that wasformed about a year agoto address the issue ofunemployment amongseasoned, mature work-ers. I wrote about thepreconceptions that em-ployers have about themature worker and alittle about the obstaclesthat we face when we tryto reenter the workforce.

The calls came flood-ing in. Every one of thesecallers 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 24years...”

“Ken, I haven’t lookedfor a job since I just fin-ished college. I reallydon’t know how or whereto begin...”

“Ken, you haveopened a can of wormshere! Now, what are yougoing to do to help us? Doyou have a job for me?”

There are manymore unemployedor underemployedmature workers outthere than the TaskForce ever imag-ined!

The 55+ TaskForce will be host-ing an educationalopportunity forseasoned, experi-enced, mature pro-

fessionals.

Putting yourExperiences Back toWork

A free educationalopportunity for seasonedmature professionals willbe held 8:30 a.m.to noonTuesday, Feb. 19, at Ma-zak Corp., 8025 Produc-tion Drive, Florence, KY41042.

Topics include:»Understanding the

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

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

»Networking: What isit? How do you do it? Is iteffective? (Learn 10 Tipsto overcome the fear ofnetworking.)

» 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, to

end with another oldradio saying: “Pleasestay tuned for furtherannouncements!”
