HYBRIDIs the new car search givingyou a pain in the back?
Eight young actors arebusy celebrating Christ-mas as members of theChildren’s Ensemble inRodgers and Hammer-stein’s “Cinderella,” play-ing at the Covedale Centerfor the Performing Artsthrough Dec. 23.
The children auditionedin September, started re-hearsals in October andopened the Christmas-themed musical Nov. 29,said director Tim Perrino,who also is executive artis-tic director for CincinnatiLandmark Productions,which operates the Cov-edale Center on the westside of Cincinnati.
More than 20 adults alsotake the stage for the clas-sic fairy tale, includingKa-tie Hamilton-Meier as Cin-derella and Jonathan Zengas the Prince. Music direc-
tor is Steve Goers and cho-reographer is Karie-LeeSutherland.
The youngest perform-ers, who range from ages 9to 14, are enjoying the pro-duction.
Maddi O’Connell, 11,tried to identify the bestpart of being in “Cinderel-la.” The Mercy Montessorisixth-grader settled on onephrase: “It’s all too great.”
Nine-year-old JordanDarnell acknowledged“that it’s a lot of work and alot of paying attention, and
it’s a great experience.”Jordan attends St. Teresaof Avila School and is infourth grade.
Katelyn Moore, who is11and in sixth grade atTay-lor Mill ElementarySchool, said she was look-ingforopportunitiestoper-form.When shewas select-ed for two parts recently,she said she chose the Cov-edale role because “I likedthe idea of ‘Cinderella.’”
A fourth-grade studentat Calvary ChristianSchool, C.J. Zimmer, 9, saidhe realized when he audi-tioned “that I’d be one ofonly two boys” in the musi-cal if selected.
Christopher Conway,12,a seventh-grader at St.Wil-
liam School, is happy to bepart of the production. “Itis an amazing show,” hesaid.
Fourteen-year-old Emi-ly Egner is in eighth grade
at St. Antoninus School.She said she intends to fo-cus on musical theaterwhen she attends Schoolfor the Creative & Per-forming Arts next year.
“I’d like to do some oth-er shows here,” said Mad-die Land, 14. The SacredHeart Elementary School
student added she willwatch for future auditions.
Homeschooler GraceBalbo of Hyde Park willturn13 before “Cinderella”wraps up. She said her ex-perience in “The MusicMan” on the Showboat Ma-jestic and other perfor-mances prepared her forthe current Covedalemusi-cal.
It was fairly easy toadapt “Cinderella” for theholidays, according to Per-rino. “First and foremost,you set it at Christmastime, and you put in a chil-dren’s chorus and carol-ing,” he explained. Thechildrenalsodance, andes-cort Cinderella to the ballas horses and coachmen.

A4 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • DECEMBER 6, 2012
VILLA HILLS — Three yearsago, Principal Shawna Harneywas looking for ideas on how toraise test scores at River RidgeElementary School.
She took 15 of her staff mem-bers toPaintedStoneElementarySchool in Shelbyville to observehow that school, one of the best inthe state, had achieved so muchsuccess.
Three weeks ago, River Ridgewas named a School of Distinc-tion by the Kentucky Depart-ment ofEducation. Its test scoresunder the new Unbridled Learn-ing accountability model ranked18th in the state among733publicelementary schools, putting it inthe 98th percentile.
And now guess who is comingto town next month to try andlearn from River Ridge’s suc-cess?
“We will be watching andlearning,” said Michelle Shipley,principal of Painted Stone, whowill visit River Ridge on Dec. 5with 14 of her staff members.“We’re going to steal every greatthing they do.”
What makes River Ridge’s ac-complishments so impressiveare the unique characteristics ofthe 20-year-old school: 1,100 stu-dents from six cities, making itthe largest elementary school inthe Kenton County School Dis-trictandoneof the largest inKen-tucky; a free- and reduced-lunchpopulation of 42 percent; roughly27 percent of students with spe-
cial education needs; and nearly100studentswhosefirst languageis not English.
“I think those are ourstrengths, because the teachersrealize that they have to teachdifferent ways for each studentto be successful,” said ShannonYelton, who has two children atthe school. “I do a lot as a parent,but I feel like the teachers are theones changing my kids’ lives.”
The school has no technologi-cal edge. Outside of some basicdesktop computers, there are nofancy devices to show off. Stu-dents don’t have iPads. In fact,nearly half of the 40 homeroomsstill don’t have interactive white-boards, a staple in many schoolstoday.
“There is no silver bullet ormagic program – it’s just strongbest practices that we supportthroughout the building, and a lotof intentional monitoring of da-ta,” said Harney, in her fourthyear as principal and 16th yearoverall at the school. “Last yearwas such a year of change withthe new standards, but seeingthesescoreswasvalidationofourhard work.”
Harney cites several factorsfiguring in the school’s success:
» Goal setting. “This is big forus,” Harney said. “We get stu-dents in the mindset of settinggoals for everything and takingownershipof theirwork.Wewantthem to say, ‘This ismywork, andwith the help of my teacher, thisiswhat Ineed todo tobringupmyscore.’”
» Celebrating successthroughout the year with class-room and school celebrations forachievements of all sorts, fromreaching personal reading goalsto school-wide testing goals.
» Pairing an English Lan-guage Learner student with an-other student who speaks his or
hernative languagewhileprovid-ing hands-on, visual instruction.Students also receive homevisitsfromtheschool’s familyresourcecenter to help break down barri-ers.
» Having a full staff to servestudents with special needs. Thestaff includes 12 teachers, sixspeech pathologists, a physicaltherapist, an occupational thera-pist and a psychologist.
» High level of parental in-volvement.
» Assessing students threetimes a year, and using that datato create or adjust interventionsfor each student.
» Weekly Professional Learn-ing Community meetings amongteachers and administrators.They share learning ideas, talkabout data and instruction, dis-cusswhat each studentneedsandplan for eachweek. Theymayde-
termine that a student needs tomove to another classroom at an-other level for a particular sub-ject.
“We have become very cre-ative with grouping students andsharing students based on theirneeds,” Harney said. “Teachersare generally territorial withtheir students, butweareall own-ing these kids. It creates the needfor teachers to communicatewitheachother.A lotof trustgoesinto that.”
Those Professional LearningCommunity meetings weresomething the group learnedmoreabout from its visit toPaint-ed Stone three years ago.
“We review and analyze dataon each student and comparewhat each of us has on each stu-dent,” said Dominique Cruey, afourth-grade teacher in hereighth year here. “It may showthat Ineed tomakeadjustments.”
“Sometimes I have to changethe way I do something, and thatcan be hard,” said Melinda Boes-ken, a third-grade teacher heresince the school opened in 1992.“But if you know the change willhave a positive outcome for a stu-dent, then it’s obviously a goodthing.”
RiverRidgeparentsnotice theteachers’ efforts.
“All the teachers differentiatethe instruction so that nobody isbored and nobody is lost,” saidJan Kane, mother of a fifth-grad-er and third-grader, and memberof the site-based council. “No-body has just one teacher any-more. It’sahugeundertaking,butthey put in somanyhours and getthe job done.”
“We do put in a lot of time,”said Kim Crable, who has alsotaught third grade here since theschool opened. “A lot of us arehere early and don’t leave until5:30 or 6, but theday is constantlymoving. We are always planningtogether as a third-grade team,always on the go and we do whatwe need to do.”

PARK HILLS — Notre DameAcademyandCovingtonCatholicHighSchool teamedup topresenta whimsical rhymey, really good-timey twist on theclassic “Christ-mas Carol”-type show.
The students presented aChristmas Children’s Theatreproduction of “A SeussifiedChristmas Carol” on Dec. 1 and 2in the Frances Kathryn CarlislePerforming Arts Center at NotreDame Academy.
The show – written by PeterBloedel, who also “Seussified”Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Ju-liet” – presents the much-lovedtaleofScroogeand theChristmasghosts written in rhyme à la Dr.Seuss.Thevillageandcharactersin the one-act play resemblemore of a “Who-ville” than thetraditional Dickensian Englishtown.
Near thebeginningof theplay,the narrators say, “The languageis more than a century old, andmightneedsomesprucingbeforeit is told. It’s not that Old Dickenscan’t be understood, but we thinksome rhyming might make himmore good.”
StudentdirectorKylieKanter,a Notre Dame sophomore, saidthe show is very “kid-friendlyand cute,” and that the perfor-
mance’s brevity will also helpmaintain young viewers’ atten-tion spans.
Workingon theproductionhasbeen Kanter’s favorite part.
“I just like watching it cometogether, and the people in it arereally amazing. Youmake a lot offriends working on a productionlike this,” she said.
She and Maggie Perrino, di-rector and Notre Dame dramateacher, managed a cast of morethan 60 students.
After the show, audiencemembers were invited to sharehot cocoa and cookies with thecast, crew and Santa Claus.

Aftera53rd-place finishat the2012 state tournament, and thegraduation of the team’s topwrestler, you may expect ScottHigh School’s wrestling team totake a step back in the 2012-2013season.
Instead, the Eagles enter thisyear with high hopes and a deeproster ready to make their markon the program.
Competition will be fierce inpractices, as several Eagles willbattle for starting spots. No role
is guaranteed, even for those re-turning wrestlers who earned aspot in the starting rotation lastseason.
“Our strength this yearwill beour depth,” said head coach DonGraven. “We have some very ex-perienced wrestlers who will notend up being on the varsity.”
Ryan Sowder, the Eagles’ topperformer a year ago and thewinner of two matches at state,graduated. This year, the leader-ship role falls to a junior, SamSchwachter.
“Wewill countonhimtobeourleader and show us the way we
need to grow as individuals, as ateam, and as people,” said Grav-en.
Sophomore Dale Hensley re-turnsafteradvancing tostate lastyear as a freshman. He is joinedby classmates Eli Sowder, ElijahMiller, and Anthony Ashford.While the roster remains young,the Eagles are battle-tested. Thatvarsityexperienceatayoungageis a main reason why there arehigh expectations at Scott thisseason. If the young Eagles gothrougha sophomore slump, theywill need to bounce back quickly.They cannot let the weight of ex-
pectations lead to a season of de-cline.
“Our weakness this year will
be living up to expectations wehave set for ourselves, and learn-ing how to develop a winning cul-ture,” said Graven.
As important as their physicalimprovement is, the Eagles willalso need to grow mentally. Animprovement in mental strengthwill be just asvital as a steady im-provement in physical strength.Expecting to win and bouncingback quickly from losses willhelp Graven and his team growthat winning culture.
“We will have a successfulseason if we learn to have confi-dence in ourselves,” saidGraven.

INDEPENDENCE — KevinCooper’s long-term future is setafter he signed to continuewrestling in college at the Uni-versity of Tennessee-Chatta-nooga.
The Simon Kenton HighSchool senior will now focus onthe short term, finishing his ca-reer with another state champi-onship. Cooper will go for histhird career state title this yearto lead the Pioneers.
“Chattanooga is awesome,”Cooper said. “I love everyonedown there. It’s agreat team, it’slikea familyand thecoachesaregreat.”
Cooper was a perfect 68-0last season to win the state titleat 145 pounds. In the offseason,hewas a freestyleAll-Americanand a FloWrestling All-Ameri-can.
“In Flo Nationals I got to thesemis and wrestled a statechamp from New Jersey and
lost by a point in overtime,” hesaid. “I just keep training hard-er and try to work hard all thetime.”
Cooper is the last in the lineof three brothers and threecousins who have ruled thesport for the past12 years. He isthird in career wins behind two
of them, brotherNeil and cousinJosh.Kevin has a chance to passone or both of them at the end ofthe season.
The latest Cooper chose astrong Division I college pro-gram to go to, said his headcoach Nathan Gilbert.
“It’s exciting to see his hardwork pay off, a lifetime of ef-fort,” Gilbert said. “He neverreally stops. He sacrifices a lotto get where he is.”
Cooper leads a deepPioneersteam that finished 20-3 in dualmatches and was fifth in thestate.
Five other seniors qualifiedfor state last year, with four ofthem placing. Hiero Chambleewas state runner-up at 170. JoeyParrott was fourth at 120, DrewHarris fifth at 132 and DavidBergman seventh at 195. Kevin“Hotrod” Roberts was onematch from placing last year.

Northern Kentucky hasits first victory as a Divi-sion I program andMelodyDoss is suddenly the an-swer to a trivia questionthat will long be remem-bered by Norse basketballfans.
Doss’ layup just beforethe buzzer sounded, off anassist from freshmanChristineRoush gaveNKUan improbable 66-64 winover Youngstown State onNov. 27.Theshot cappedan
incredible late-game se-quence of heroics as theNorse rallied from aneight-point deficit (63-55)with 3:31 remaining to stunthe previously unbeatenPenguins.
“The last play we ran towin the game, Melody wassaying ‘look for me,’ and Iwas hoping the pass wasthere,” Christine Roushsaid of the final play. “Itwas, and I got it there, andshe made the shot. It wasprobably the most impor-tant assist in my life.”
BrandiBrownmadeoneof two free throws to ex-tend the Youngstown Statelead to 64-62 with 16 sec-onds left. Kayla Thackerthen nailed an off-balance
18-footer from the leftwing to tie the game at 64-allwith1.7 secondsremain-ing.
Liz Hornberger thenturned the ball over tryingto inbound the ball, givingNKU possession under-neath its own basket. Thatset the stage for Doss, whotook a perfect inboundspass fromRoush in the laneand converted a shot astime expired.
“The out-of-bounds playwas open all game,” Dosssaid. “It was open (on thelast play), and we stuck it.It was definitely exciting.It’s a breath of fresh airgetting this win and know-ing we can compete withthe girls in this division.”
Roush scored a career-high 24 points to leadNKU.The freshman guard alsograbbed eight reboundsand was 4-for-6 from 3-point range. Doss scoredsix points and hauled ineight rebounds. She alsoblocked three shots.
“I thought our kids did agood job of trying to keepthemat bay, and keep themaway from the rim,” NKUhead coach Dawn Plitzu-weit said. “Someof it is thatthings fell into our lap athome,andat thesametime,I thought our kids compet-ed. They could’ve quit atthe two-minute mark.”
NKU lost at MissouriState 70-67 Dec. 1, losing aone-point lead in the final
minutes. Doss poured in acareer-high 14 points whileHopper recorded her firstdouble-double of the sea-sonwith13points and15 re-bounds. Kayla Thackeradded 11 points for NKU.
NKU returns to actionDec. 8 as the Norse traveltoMuncie, Ind., to faceBallState. Tipoff is set for 1p.m. NKU returns 2 p.m.Sunday, Dec. 16, to playButler.
The NKU men’s teamfell at fourth-ranked OhioState 70-43 Dec. 1. JalenBillups led the Norse (0-5)with 11 points and nine re-bounds.
“We’re headed in therightdirection,” saidguardEshaunte Jones, who had
nine points. “We have a lotof young kids who arelearning right now, so thisgame is definitely a build-ing block. Ohio State wentto the Final Four last year,and there aren’t too manyteams that come into thisarena and leave with awin.”
Northern Kentuckymade its NCAA Division Idebut with four games infive days at a tournamentin San Diego from Nov. 14-18.TheNorse led in thesec-ond half of all four games,two of which were four-point defeats.

So this sequestration, a partof the fiscal cliff, only affectsthe “entitlement programs,” itdoesn’t affect the programs thatsupport seniors, like transporta-tion, home-delivered meals,senior centers and protectionfrom abuse? Right?
Wrong! It will have a devas-tating effect on these programs.
If Congress allows sequestra-tion to go into effect on Jan. 2,2013, the resulting $54.5 billionin non-defense discretionarycuts in fiscal year 2013 will havealarming effects on programsthat maintain older adults’ inde-pendence, health and well-being.
Moving ahead with seques-tration allows our representa-tives the opportunity not tomake decisions about whichprograms provide the greatestreturn on investment and re-flect the current and futureneeds of our great country.
We know that supportingolder adults in their own homeswith home health care, home-delivered meals and transporta-tion to and from health carecosts about one-third the annualcost of a long-term care facility.And, home is where, whenasked, the seniors want to liveout their remaining days. Cutslike those being presented alsoresult in added burden and fi-nancial strains to the caregiver.
Speakingabout mealsalone, in Ken-tucky this se-questration willresult in anestimated lossof 320,341meals annually.This is estimat-ed to leave3,411 elderlypeople without
meals for one year. To com-pound this reduction in funding,there is currently a “waitinglist” of seniors who need andwish to have a home-deliveredmeal, but because of limitedfunding, will wait from one to 12months to receive them. Thereis currently not enough fundingto cover the need. Cutting cur-rent levels of funding will leavethousands of seniors hungry andmay force them into long-termcare facilities.
So, is there a compromise?Well, yes there is. Congress
could take a more surgical ap-proach to the proposed across-the-board cutting that will takeplace this coming January. Asurgical approach would resultin extending programs likeSenior Services of NorthernKentucky’s Meals on Wheelshome-delivered meal program.Congress could make choices
based on return on investmentand responding to the needs ofour country. Congress could alsoestablish “means testing” and“sliding scale fee for service”for programs paid for by theOlder Americans Act.
Currently, these programs,which were established underthe 1965 Older American Act,require that the recipient not becharged for the meal, the ride,the enjoyment at a senior cen-ter, the housekeeping or thecare given in their own home.These programs are currentlynot “means tested” and neverhave been. Maybe they shouldbe. “Means testing” combinedwith a “sliding scale fees forservice” could result in moretruly needy seniors beingserved and a reduction in thenumber of people on the waitinglist.
Call your congressional rep-resentative or U.S. senator to-day and tell them: “There aresolutions that will not result inthe elimination of over 320,000meals to Kentucky’s seniors.Solutions that may, in fact, re-sult in a greater number of ourseniors being able to be served.”
Ken Rechtin is the interim executivedirector of Senior Services of North-ern Kentucky.
The fiscal cliff andMeals on Wheels
Ken RechtinCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST
Our culture professes thatthe modern world of technol-ogy is completely indepen-dent from the archaic spherein which our grandparentsreside. I too shared this feel-ing until recently, when myallusions as such were quick-ly dismantled after conduct-ing several interviews withthe “elderly” of our society.
The majority of people inolder generations who havean aversion to technology doso because of their resistanceto change. Barbara Connor, a
retiredhousewifeliving inFlorida withher husbandWilliam, hashad a diffi-cult timeadjusting tothe new tech-nological age.She says, “Ireally dislikenew things,
doesn’t matter what they are.I resist change, but then whenI have it, I think it’s the mostwonderful thing in theworld.”
It wasn’t only that theopposed interviewees resist-ed change in general, but theyalso found the pace of changeto be overwhelming. HelenKreitzburg, a retired retailmanager living in Pittsburgh,said, “For people like me, whoare just beginning to use thedevice, it is really frustratingbecause I am still trying toget used to the old versionwhen they come out withsomething new.”
Shirley Dershowitz, fromNew York, has coined her erathe “sandwich generation”because most of them let thetechnological wave pass bywithout becoming very in-volved with it. She says, “Lit-tle by little we will be forcedto use the computer, whetherwe like it or not ... we’re real-ly the sandwich generation.We are being forced tochange because we have toomany years left.”
Although Mrs. Dershowitzis not ecstatic about thischange, she understands it isbound to happen and willapproach the challenge headon.
Instead of being “forced tochange” as Mrs. Dershowitzstated, many grandparentshave embraced this change,even welcomed it. For them,email, social networking andvideo chatting are used tocommunicate with family andfriends.
Email is by far the mostpopular Internet activityamong older generationsbecause it is the easiest andmost convenient form ofcorrespondence. Robert Paul,my 72-year-old grandfatherwho is also vice president ofsales and marketing at MagnaGroup in Detroit, prefersemail “because you don’thave to sit and wait aroundfor an answer, which quitefrankly, I don’t have timefor.”
Although the majority ofthe interviewees said they didnot operate a social mediaaccount, those who did stated
the foremost reason was toincrease communication withtheir grandchildren. MayJohnson says, “I only get on afew times a year, and when Ido, it is to talk with Summerand Sydney (her grandchil-dren). They don’t answertheir phones anymore, soFacebook is the best way.”
Skype and other forms ofvideo chatting, although notexceedingly popular, areemployed in the same way.Margaret Schrand will not gooutside the house without afull application of makeup, soshe adheres to these samerules when video-chatting herchildren and grandchildren.“Oh yes, I do enjoy SkypingKimberly and her children,”she says, “but of course onlyif my makeup is on.” Herhusband, John, was heardchuckling in the background.
Although each participantpossessed a distinctive ap-proach regarding his or herrelationship with technology,prevalent throughout eachphone call was the theme ofcourage. Our grandparentsare diving into this strangeand overwhelming realm oftechnology without an ounceof experience. Baptism byfire, you could say. I am hum-bled that I had the chance tohear these unconventionalstories firsthand, but I alsofeel compelled to share itwith willing ears.
It is for that reason that Iam writing in my room on aSaturday afternoon. This isnot a story of the meek andfeeble, this is a story of deter-mination, of not giving up.Although this strange newworld has been thrust uponthem, the “old” people areadapting.
Shirley Dershowitzcouldn’t have put it betterwhen she said, “As you know,I don’t like things to change,but of course the only thing inlife you can guarantee is thatthere will be change. Youmight not always be ready forit, but you sure as hell betterlearn to embrace it.”

Column an insult to rapevictims
To say I was shocked by thearticle submitted by Fred H.Summe, titled, “Does rape justi-fy abortion?” is an understate-ment. To address such a contro-versial topic with such bravadois daring, and to further insultthe rape victim by challengingher right to an abortion is hate-ful.
Obviously there are masses(many of whom are Christians)who strongly disagree with thisstance, and thankfully have theright to say so. The offense initi-ates with a statement insinuat-ing that life begins at concep-tion. Conception is the joining oftwo cells. It is only the begin-ning of a long series of eventsand processes that must takeplace in order for life to be sus-tained. These cells do not feelpain, and cannot think. Onlywhen the group of cells maturesinto an organized set of organsand create a viable fetus (able to
survive outside the womb) maywe consider it human life.
Summe further insults withhis attempt to lead the reader tobelieve that the majority ofrapes result in pregnancy,whereby abortion could be apossible outlet. A number ofstudies have shown that preg-nancy resulting from rape isvery uncommon. One, looking at2,190 victims, reported preg-nancy in only 0.6 percent.”(Abortion: Politics, Morality,and the Constitution [Lanham,MD: University Press of Amer-ica, 1984], 283.)
Additionally, Summe choseto allude that themental anguisha rape victim suffers will onlybe exacerbated by a subsequentabortion. According to bioethi-cist AndrewVarga, “It is arguedthat in these tragic cases thegreat value of the mental healthof a woman who becomes preg-nant as a result of rape or incestcan best be safe-guarded byabortion. It is also said that apregnancy caused by rape or in-
cest is the result of a grave in-justice and that the victimshould not be obliged to carrythe fetus to viability. This wouldkeep reminding her for ninemonths of the violence commit-ted against her and would justincrease her mental anguish. Itis reasoned that the value of thewoman’s mental health is great-er than the value of the fetus. Itis concluded, then, that abortionis justified in these cases.”
To quote author Alice Sebold(regarding rape), “You saveyourself or you remain un-saved.”
While freedom of speech isrespected, it is my opinion thatSumme made only one lucidpoint: Women are the strongerof the two sexes. If a strongwoman chooses to terminate apregnancy that resulted fromthe violence of a rape, that is herchoice.
(Matthew 7:1 Judge not, thatye be not judged.)

In my house, you’renever too young, or old, tohave a stocking hung onthe mantle for St. Nicholasto fill.
When we were kids, wehung ours (and theyweren’t the fancy ones Ihave today but our regularsocks) on our bedposts. Apomegranate was includedif it fit mom’s budget, and I

Easy peanut brittleThis is not as sweet as
the kind of brittle that youbuy. I’ve used both lightand dark corn syrup andthe dark is what my familyprefers, but use whateveryou have on hand. Thisrecipe does not containbaking soda, which givessome peanut brittle thecustomary honeycombtexture. Now dependingupon the kind of pan youuse (I used a stainlesssteel), it may take a littlelonger or shorter time tomake the candy than the
recipe calls for. Check outmy blog – abouteating.com– for step-by-step photos.1⁄2 stick unsalted butter1⁄2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn syrup1 teaspoon vanilla1 to 11⁄2 cups nuts: yourfavorite (We like saltedmixed nuts)
Spray cookie sheet.Over medium heat, stirbutter, sugar, corn syrupand vanilla until melted,smooth and bubbly. Coverand cook one minute. Stirin nuts, raise heat to medi-um high and cook, stirringconstantly, until nuts arefragrant, lightly brownedand the mixture is verygolden, about five minutes.What happens is the mix-ture will reach the hardcrack stage (300 degrees).
If you put a bit in a glass ofcold water, it will make ahard ball. Immediatelypour onto cookie sheet,spreading thinly as pos-sible. A sprayed offsetspatula or butter knifehelps here. Cool until hard,about 15 minutes, thenbreak into pieces. Keepcovered at room temper-ature.
Perfect roast beefGood for that holiday
sirloin tip or similar roast,not chuck, which needs tobe roasted differently. Anunconventional way ofroasting. Cranking up theoven to 475 develops moist,flavorful meat. Yes, youmay have some splatter inthe oven, but that shouldclean up OK.
3-4 pounds beef roast (seeabove)
Preheat oven to 250degrees. Season with saltand pepper and brown onall sides in oil in ovenproofpan (or scrape up brownbits and place all in roast-ing pan). Roast until tem-perature reaches 110 de-grees, 45-60 minutes or so.Leave in oven and increaseheat to 475 degrees. Cookuntil temperature reaches120 degrees for rare, 125for medium rare or 130 formedium. This will take upto 30 minutes or so. Checkafter 20 minutes. Removefrom oven, tent with foiland let rest 15 minutes.Serve with pan juices.

A good time of year tomake this since sweetpotatoes are good buys inseason. I’ll add a pinch ofcayenne if making foradults. Let kids help tosstogether and talk abouteating “from the Garden ofEden,” the brighter thecolor of the veggie, thebetter it is for you!

Placesingle layer on sheet,sprinkle with seasoning,and bake 20 minutes. Turnpotatoes over and bakeuntil golden and tender,about 20 minutes.

As cooler weatherarrives most people closetheir windows and turn upthe heat. These actionsmay increase the risk ofpoisoning by carbon mon-oxide (CO), a silent butdeadly gas responsiblefor hundreds of deathseach year.
Because people cannotsmell, taste or see it, theydo not realize when theyare breathing in carbonmonoxide. Although car-bon monoxide poisoningposes threats for every-one, infants, children,senior citizens and thosewith respiratory prob-lems have increasedrisks.
Carbon monoxidepoisoning can adverselyaffect health in manyways. Breathing highlevels of carbon monoxidecan cause breathing andvision impairments, re-duced brain function, lossof consciousness and
death.Since
symptomsof low-level car-bon monox-ide poison-ing can bemistakenfor the flu,peopleoften over-look them.
Some symptoms ofbreathing low levels ofcarbon monoxide includeheadaches, dizziness,confusion and drowsiness.If you believe you aresuffering from carbonmonoxide poisoning, seekmedical attention immedi-ately. Because carbonmonoxide is so deadly, itis important to not takechances.
Here are some helpfultips that can lower yourrisks and could save yourlife.
Have a qualified tech-nician clean and inspectall combustion equipmenteach year. This includesgas furnaces, gas or kero-sene space heaters, wood-burning or gas fireplacesand gas water heaters.
Install carbon monox-ide detectors in yourhome and anywhere elseyou use gas heating appli-
ances. Test periodically tomake sure they are work-ing properly.
Install and use exhaustfans vented to outdoorsover gas stoves.
Open flues when usingfireplaces.
Never warm a car orrun anymotor applianceinside your garage. Evenwith the garage dooropen, carbon monoxidecan build up rapidly andcause poisoning withinminutes.
Never use a charcoalor propane grill insideyour home or garage.
Avoid the use of gas orkerosene space heatersinside your home. If youcan’t avoid using them,follow operating instruc-tions very carefully andalways make sure there isan open window for venti-lation.
If you use a gasoline orother fuel-fired generatorduring a power outage,keep the generator out-doors during use. If thegenerator is indoors, yourhouse could quickly fill upwith deadly carbon mon-oxide gas as the fuelburns.
If your carbon monox-ide alarm goes off, exityour house or apartmentquickly and call 911 oryour local emergencynumber. Don’t re-enteryour home until the prob-lem is fixed. See a doctorimmediately.

You have a house fireand your home needs ma-jor repairs. Althoughyou’re fully insured, youcan still run into problemsthat can bring you close tobankruptcy. That’s what anarea man fears may hap-pen to him.
Daniel VanDean hasowned a house in HiddenValley Lake for the pasttwo years. In February,there was a fire in thelower level of his house.
“The smoke got up intothe walls, into the insula-tion, and basically thewhole house had to begutted completely,” hesaid.
VanDean hired a con-tractor to do most of therepairs. “He was given twochecks. One of them, for$15,000 to get started, andthen another for $25,000 tocontinue the work,” hesaid.
But, although the jobwas to have been complet-ed in August, it was farfrom complete monthslater.
VanDean says helearned a lot of the work-
ers weren’tgetting paidand lienswere beingfiledagainst hishome. “So,out of that$40,000 thecontractorkept the$40,000.
“I’m paying for the restof the work out of my ownpocket. This is going toleave me quite a bit ofmoney short finishing myhouse,” VanDean said.
VanDean’s insuranceagent looked at the workthat had been performedand wrote a letter sayinghe felt the work was sub-standard. In one case, hefound a used vanity hadbeen installed in one of thebathrooms. That vanityhas since been replacedwith a new one, but Van-Dean says it took morethan a week for him tocorrect construction prob-lems.
It turns out most of theconflict with the contrac-tor is over work VanDean
says he never authorized.He says the problem is, “Itwasn’t in writing. It was‘word of mouth’ and that’swhere the legal systemsays I should have had it inwriting.”
So I called the contrac-tor who took issue with thequality of his work, sayingit did pass a county in-spection. He says therewas a signed agreementbut admits a lot of workwas done with just a ver-bal OK. He says that extrawork added more time tothe job.
So protect yourselfwhen hiring a contractor.Get written estimatesfrom three contractors.Then make sure the con-tract you sign includes anychanges, in writing, andmake certain it states whopays for the materials andsubcontractors so there’sno question about it later.

Many older Americansare struggling to affordfood tomeet their basic di-etary needs. This month,nearly 1,000 vulnerableolder adults will receive ajar of peanut butter in ad-dition to their Meals onWheels delivery, thanks todonations from friendsand neighbors during afood drive.
In October, WesleyCommunity Services,AARPOhio andWalgreensasked area residents to“Spread Some Good” withdonations of peanut butterat 57 local Walgreensstores in Greater Cincin-nati and Northern Ken-
tucky. The food drive, heldOct. 11-29, collected 1,180pounds of peanut butter(940 jars).
The fooddrive is part ofthe national AARP Driveto EndHunger; which pro-motes awareness aboutthe serious problem ofsenior hunger. The U.S.Department of Agricul-ture Economic ResearchService shows that inOhio, 15.5 percent ofhouseholds were food in-secure at some time dur-ing the year between 2009and 2011, compared to 14.7percent nationally.
While there are manysimilar food drives acrossthe country, the effort inCincinnati and Northern
Kentucky was different inits focus on a singularitem. The partnership alsohelped to assure that dona-tions remained in the com-munity.
Peanut butter is low incalories and is a source offiber, protein, and good di-etary fat. For older adults,the benefits of healthy eat-ing include increasedmental acuteness, resis-tance to illness and dis-ease, higherenergy levels,and faster recuperationtimes .

Question:How dopoinsettias and otherplants get their name? Ihave heard that plants arenamed after the personwho discovers them. Isthat true?
Answer: An old Chi-nese proverb says, “thebeginning of wisdom is tocall things by their right
names,” butwho gets todecide whatthe “rightname” isfor a giventree, shrubor flower,for ex-ample?
Every-one in west-ern Ken-tucky
knows what “Easter Flow-ers” are (daffodils), butpeople around NorthernKentucky may think youare talking about “EasterLilies.” And is that big,weak-wooded tree in yourbackyard a “water maple,”a “soft maple” or a “silvermaple”? And what aboutyour neighbor’s “snowballbush”? Is it a Viburnum ora hydrangea, or somethingelse?
Plants often get theirscientific name, and some-times their common namefrom the person who dis-covers them, developsthem through plant breed-ing, or is responsible forbringing them into com-merce. That is the casewith the poinsettia, namedafter botanist and U.S.Ambassador to Mexico (inthe 1820s), Dr. Joel Poin-sett, who first brought thepoinsettia to the U.S. from
Mexico, where it wasknown as “Nativity Flow-er.”
Other times, plantnames are derived fromthe place of origin or na-tive range of the plant, ormay relate to some uniquefeature of the plant, suchas its growth habit, color,texture, size or shape ofleaves, presence of thorns,abundance of flowers, orany other feature that setsit apart from other mem-bers of its family or genus.
Scientific names ofplants are usually Latin orGreek in nature, and theyare used to describe bo-tanical or anatomicalfeatures of a plant. Redmaple (also known as“swampmaple” in some
parts of the U.S.), is knownall around the world (byits scientific name) asAcer rubrum. The firstword (the genus) is Latinfor “sharp,” since theRomans used to fashionthe maple twigs intospears. The second wordin the scientific name isthe “specific epithet,” andit is often like an adjectivethat describes the genus.The two words togethermake up the “species.” Inour example, “rubrum” isLatin for “red,” whichexplains why it is also apart of the name for redoak (Quercus rubra). Boththese trees have red fallfoliage color.
Some helpful booksrelating to plant nomen-clature (names) include
“Dictionary ofWord Roots andCombiningForms” byDonald J. Bor-ror, “100 Flow-ers and HowThey Got TheirNames” byDiana Wellsand “A Garden-er’s Dictionaryof PlantNames” byWilliam T.Stearn.

After the results ofthis year’s historicalelection, most Americanscould sum up their feel-ings in one word, depend-ing on how they voted;empowered or powerless.
Regardless of how youfelt, let me remind you ofone thing. No matter whois president, God is stillthe king.
This statement isimportant to heed in allareas of life especiallywhen I feel hopeless. Nomatter your financialsituation, your maritalproblems, health prob-lems, work problems,etc., God is still king andHe has great plans foryou Jeremiah 29:11.
Four years ago, oneday after the election Iwoke with a feeling ofdevastation and hopeless-ness. A feeling I carriedwith me for several days.Why? Because I feared I
could nottrust theupcom-ing gov-ernmentto fulfillthepromisestheyweremakingandmove our
country forward, provid-ing better opportunitiesfor my friends and fam-ily.
The day after theelection this year, I wokewith a stronger desire toknow God and His plansfor my life. I am gentlyreminded by Timothythat “our hope is in theliving God, who is thesavior of all people.” 1Timothy 4:10.
If you are facing asituation of uncertainty,you may feel hopeless to
trust the people involvedto come through on theirpromises. Doctors cannotalways heal. Spouses maynot always be faithful.Jobs and financial securi-ty might end, govern-ment may fail, but onething will never change.God’s promises through-out the Bible remind usthat His plans for Hispeople are “for good andnot disaster, for hope anda future.” Jeremiah 29:11.
However, there is acondition that you and Ioften fail to abide by. TheBible also says, “Let ushold tightly without wa-vering to the hope weaffirm, for God can betrusted to keep His prom-ises.” Hebrews 10:23. Ifthe promises God has forus are to be fulfilled, wemust cling to them unwa-veringly.
We must trust in God,not man, to come throughfor us.
As you walk throughthe coming days, weeks,months and years, trustGod to lead your steps.“Trust in the Lord with allyour heart, do not dependon your own understand-ing. Seek His will in allyou do, and He will showyou which path to take.”Proverbs 3:5-6.
