As icy temperatures andsnowy roads eat up calamitydays, Princeton City Schoolshasoutlinedpotential changesin the school calendar if thenumber exceeds its allow-ance.

So far this school year,Princeton has used four of itsfive calamity days.

Since the number haspushed its limit so early in theseason, Ed Theroux, directorof student services, explainedoptions during the Board ofEducation’s Jan. 9 meeting.

The district could extendeach school day by 30minutesuntil instructional time ismade up. It would take twoweeks to make up one calami-ty day.

Spring break could be cut

short.The end of the school year

could be extended.Theroux, a former princi-

pal atSharonvilleElementary,and Board Member SusanWyder, a retired SharonvilleElementary teacher, agreedthat they wouldn’t recom-mend that the district add 30minutes to each day becausethey felt it didn’t add instruc-tional value.

It’s most likely that the dis-trict would hold classes onApril 17, if calamity days ex-ceed five, Theroux said.

Thisdaywasscheduledasaprofessionaldevelopmentdayfor teachers, and a day off forstudents.

After that, if calamity dayshit seven or more, the districtwould likely extend the schoolyear in June, Theroux said.

Hong Kong Piano Open Competition.“Shemakes a great connectionwith the

audience and her performances are trulyinspiring,”World PianoCompetition exec-utive director Mark Ermster said.

In its 58th season, the mission of theWorld Piano Competition is to “promoteandcelebrate theartofclassicalpianomu-sic.”

“We find that many people don’t knowabout us, so, we’ve created an outreachprogram to seniors, to augment our exist-ing educational program for school chil-dren,” Ermster said of the Bach/Beetho-ven/Brahms program.

Judy Evans, of World Piano Competi-tion, said seniors have been invited to thechildren’s concerts for a long time.

“Itwaswonderful tohave these twoagegroups exposed to one another,” she said.“Along theway,we realizedwhat a hungerthere was for a dedicated senior concert

“That way, we are ableto reach an audience thatcan't always travel to out-side concerts.”

The Maple Knoll con-cert is one of six plannedthroughout the year.

MapleKnoll’s social di-rectors strive to offerunique activities for resi-dents of the Springdalecommunity.

“It is our pleasure toprovide such world-classentertainment for them,”social director SandyBucher said, “including aWorld Piano Competitionsemi-finalist.”

“Music is so importantin all of our lives,” Erm-ster said. “It serves to en-rich and inspire us, andmany studies clearly indi-cate the benefit of music.

“Our favorite is classi-cal piano music, and itseems an easy way toshare this artwith seniorsall over the Greater Cin-cinnati community bybringing the art and theartists right to them,” hesaid. “Everyone can listento the radio, and to CDs,but there is realmagic inalive performance.”

Galbraith, Westwood-Northern among bad roads cited

Sharonville City Coun-cil has paved the way forstreet repairs throughlegislation that has autho-rized the safety servicedirector to pursue bids onseveral projects through-out the year.

The budget included$400,000 for the work,though Safety Service Di-rector Jim Lukas said thecity’s top project likelywill require more fund-ing.

If that’s the case, hewill request theadditionalmoney from City Councillater in the year.

“Our target street isWyscarver,” Lukas said.“Last year, Evendale did80 percent of their shareof the south end of Wys-carver, off Glendale-Mil-ford Road.”

Thework includednewcurbs, sidewalks andstreet repair.

“Last year, we weren’tin a position because therequest came so far in the

year and it would havebeen difficult to ask forthe funds at that time,” hesaid.

“But it is a street thatneeds to be repaired, sowe decided to focus onthat this year.”

The improvements toWyscarver Road will in-clude sidewalks, andcurbs where needed, butthe majority of work willbe on the street’s drain-age.

Downtown, the PublicWorks Department willremove about 20 dead anddiseased trees, replacingpavers and sidewalks in aproject estimated to cost$100,000, according toPublic Works DirectorJoe Kempe.

He estimated Sharon-ville’s street painting pro-gram at $41,000 becausePublic Works employeeswill likely do the work,saving the city money.

The ordinance also au-thorized Lukas to bid forhighway rock salt, thoughthat process will takeplace in the spring.

AGlendale residentwas walking her dog Dec.20 and reported a dog thatlooked like a pit bull wasasleep in the village nativ-ity scene near the square.

That piece of informa-tion turned a routine dayinto an emotional missionof mercy for village Ad-ministrator Loretta Ro-key, clerk SallyWilson,finance and personnelassistant Phyllis DePeeland chief of utilities, Kev-in Bell.

The dog indeed ap-peared to be a pit bull andthis presented severalproblems. He was suf-fering from an injuredleg, a scar on his foreheadand a bloodshot eye. Howseverely was he hurt?Was he vicous, aggres-sive? Even if not, maybehe wouldn’t be acceptingof strangers.

The next day the vil-lage was gathering to singcarols, so he certainlycouldn’t stay there. Howwere they going to gethim to leave, and wherewould he go? Sally tossedin a piece of cheese fromthe office refrigerator.After some hesitance, heate it. She left a cheesetrail that he followed intoan empty space in thePost Office foyer. Theyfirst called groomer Nat-alie Lotspeich of DogDepot in Glendale, whomeveryone contacts in suchcases, but she was on acruise.

Loretta put out a vil-lage email to the residentsand offers poured in,some to pay any veteri-narian costs, others mak-ing suggestions. The wordspread as neighborscalled those that they

knew hadlost a pitbull. Oneyoungmanloanedhis dogcage, butneeded itback thatnight.

Now,how to

get the dog into the cage?Pieces of ham thrown intothe back of the cage didthe trick. Sally and Phylliswere busy fielding phonecalls, Loretta and Kevinloaded the dog into atruck and it was off to theraces. The first vet turnedthem away because theycould neither guaranteethe dog wasn’t vicious,nor that they could gethim out of the cage.

A12-mile drive to theSPCA found the facilityclosed until noon. Just aswell since they were un-easy about what wouldhappen if no one claimedthe pooch within fivedays. Besides, the SPCAtold Loretta that they usethe same vet who refusedthem service. The odys-sey continued.

Kevin called his veteri-narian, Noah’s Ark inWest Chester Township,who told them to comeahead. On the way, animalrescuers All AnimalsCome FromHeaven andCincinnati Pit Crew of-fered to meet them atNoah’s Ark. Katy andMax from Cincinnati PitCrewwere closest, sotheymet Loretta andKevin right away. Katyeasily slipped a leash onthe docile dog and carriedhim in for examination.

Noah’s Ark promisedto handle themedicalprocedures, neuteringand adoption. In the spiritof the season, all billswere generously paid byGlendale donations.

The rescue staffnamed the dog Gabrielbecause he was a Christ-masmiracle. The angelGabriel foretold themir-acle of the Savior’s birthand the Glendale staffwas the salvation of Ga-briel, the dog. Now he istheir “foster dog.”

Cincinnati Pit Crewhas called several timesto give updates about his

progress and he is gettingalong just fine. They planto bring him by the officefor a visit.

Says Sally, “We foundGabriel at the perfecttime, because torrentialrains came the next dayand Gabriel would havebeen drenched.”

Mount Notre Dame’s ModelUN teamreturned fromLeiden,Netherlands, Nov. 25, after aweek- long trip through Paris,Amsterdam, and finally Leiden,where 10 juniors and seniorsparticipated in LEMUN, an in-ternational conference.

Besides representing theUnited States, these studentspreparedpositions forVietnam,Syria and Denmark on a num-ber of current global topics. Ju-nior Brittney Dorton (Mason)was one of five ambassadors se-lectedby theLeidenconferencecommittee, tomake opening re-marks regarding this year’stheme, War and Peace.

Senior Claire Getter (Ma-son), as representative of Syria,was asked to speak to the entireGeneralAssembly forumon theplight of Syrian refugees. Thefailure of the Security Counciltoresolvethecrisis thuswasnotunlike the real circumstancesfacing refugees today, so the re-sponsibility was handed to theGeneral Assembly for simula-tion.

“The contributions and suc-cesses of these students in com-mittee are a testament to theamount of study and prepara-tion they have dedicated toModelUN in their timeatMND.I amvery proud of their accom-plishments,” said Susan Mag-nus, their adviser. Other mem-bers of the successful team in-cluded: leaders Jill O’Bryan(Princeton) andCatherineBuck(Loveland), along with EricaHow (Loveland), Carolyn Bur-ress (Sycamore), Katie Tkacz

(Loveland), Kelly Detmer(Loveland), Stephanie Faller(Lakota) and Olivia DeLuca(Mason).

The conference itself con-

sisted of committee sessions,time for delegates to pass reso-lutions, change the world, andmake new friends in the proc-ess. During the second day of

LEMUN, delegates attendedthe annual Delegate Dance Par-ty. The dance gave the studentsachance toget toknowtheir fel-low delegates outside of com-

mittee sessions. Many of thestudents traded contact infor-mation the last day, in order tostay in touch with internationalfriends after the conference.

SHARONVILLE—Records fallin the unlikeliest of places.

At first glance, PrincetonHigh School senior A.J. Kowalseems to be the exact type tobreak the Vikings career markfor wins.Which he did recently,eclipsing Corey Salmon’s 134career victories. Kowal nowstands at137wins and counting.

He already owns two trips tothe state wrestling tournament–qualifyingasa freshmanandajunior, missing his sophomoreyear because of injury – with athird on the horizon. He’s com-peted nationally in events likethe Super 32 and Fargo.

He’s 33-2 with 22 pins so farthis seasondespitewrestlingupone or two classes from the 160pounds he will weigh for thesectional tournament in mid-February.

“He’s impressive,” saidPrinceton head coach Ty Rob-bins. “Heworksextremelyhardin theoffseasonwithcampsandwith a competition travelingteam. He’s really looking topush himself, to find the bestcompetition.

“He wanted to wrestle up sohe could get the stronger com-petition.Hewasgiving away10,12 pounds and he was still beat-

ing people.”Yet Kowal never figured

himself a champion early in hiscareer.

“I wasn’t a really athletic kidgrowing up,” he said. “I went toa summer all-sports camp atMoeller High School in fourthgrade and found wrestling. Ijust loved it, because you didn’thave to be super athletic.”

That’s all changed.Kowal said he’s most com-

fortablewrestling in theneutral(upright) position, but minesplenty of points grappling fromthe bottom.

“Nobody has been able tohold me for more than five sec-onds,” he said. “I usually getmypoint when I’m on bottom. Theathleticism (to escape) hasbeen

a product of all the hard workover the years. They go hand inhand.”

Now Kowal said his goal forthe rest of the season is nothingshort of a state title.

“ThewayI feel rightnow,no-body can beat me,” he said. “Ican only beatmyself. I’ve got tostay loose and get outside myown head.

“(The state tournament) isreally overwhelming. Thelights shining down on you,looking up in the stands at allthose people screaming. Youhave to channel that out andreally focus on it being just an-other match.”

Kowal sets career recordfor wrestling winsByMark D. [email protected] ATHLETE AND ARTIST

Kowal is more than a wrestler. He sings baritone in the Princetonchoir, too.“Just this year. I always used to be a tenor one, but…,” he said, his

recently changed voice trailing off.The spiritual “Elijah Rock” - made famous by Mahalia Jackson - is one

of his favorite pieces to perform.Kowal said he and La Salle junior wrestler John Shirkey share a love of

music and have bonded over their common experience of being wres-tlers and choir members.Kowal’s younger brother, Alex, is a La Salle freshman and wrestles at

130 pounds. His sister, Megan, is a seventh-grader who keeps statisticsfor the Lancers.“I’m really glad they’re both involved in the sport,” he said.

WYOMING — At the end oftheir first run through the Cin-cinnati Hills League gauntlet,theWyomingHighSchool girlsbasketball team had but oneblemish - a 48-44 loss at IndianHill Dec. 14.

Heading into the third weekof January, coach Gerry Lack-ey’s Cowboys had some blow-outs and some close calls. Fivegameswerewonby fourpointsor less thanks to his ability tointersperse talent.

“We have fairly good bal-ance,” Lackey said. “AshliO’Neal is oneof thebetterplay-ers in the league, if not the city.If teams want to come out andshut her down, we have otherkids that’ll come out and makesome shots.”

O’Neal is a sophomore pointguard who tops the CHL inscoring at around16 points pergame and steals at more thanfive. Between her and sopho-more teammate Haley Stew-art, theduodishesout sevenas-sists per game.

Underneath, Stewart andher senior sister, Marta, are aforce along with junior EmilyWadds. The towering triorange from 5-foot-10 to 6-foot.

“We’re pretty strong on theboards,” Lackey said. “Themain thing is we’re playingprettygooddefensemostof thetime. We don’t give up a lot ofpoints.”

On the scoring end, severalCowboys have contributed.Senior Natalie Burchard hashad an 18-point game andWadds has had several double-doubles inpointsandrebounds.When spread out on defense,theWyomingwingspanscanbedangerous. If they don’t stealthe ball, they often deflect it.

“We try to stress being ac-tive out there; especially thetwo guards out front,” Lackeysaid.

In some scenarios, HaleyStewart is out front on defenseand running the offense. Mov-ing a forward to the point cre-ates match-up problems.

“Last year, Haley was ourback-up point guard,” Lackeysaid. “Same thing this year.

She’s 6 foot and runs the postfor us sometimes. She can doeverything. She’ll also bang onthe inside.”

Her versatility and O’Neal’squickness have been awinningcombination. O’Neal haspickedupher scoringsinceherfreshman campaign and hasreached 20-plus points numer-ous times. Even in rare gameswhere she’s been held belowdouble figures, the Cowboyshave won big.

“She’s had some really goodgames, but she’s still young,”Lackey said. “I think the sky’sthe limit.”

Waiting in the wings forWyoming is freshman KaylaHampton.Whilerelyingonvet-erans, Lackeyknows the shoot-er will help his squad in gamesto come.

“She can step up and makesome shots,” Lackey said. “Thefirst game of the year, she hitseveninthe lastquarterandwebeat Badin by five. We knowshe’s a player.”

Indian Hill, Mariemont andReading appear to be the big-gest obstacles in Wyoming’strekforaCHLtitle.Mariemontis ahead on the ledger beforethe final four games in Febru-ary.

“This next time through theleague should be pretty tell-ing,”Lackeysaid. “There’s fiveor six teams in the league thatare all pretty even.”

“In themanyconversa-tions I had with people af-ter Joe’s death there al-ways seemed to be a con-stant theme. That themewas that Joe spent a tre-mendous amount of timehere at sporting eventsandwould always stand inthe same spot in Fogartyduringbasketball andvol-leyball games. I heard itmentioned in passing, andsomewhat in jest, that weshould paint an image onthewall of Joe standing inthe spot as a remem-brance” said Merkle.

A special sign was de-

The sign incorporatesJoe’s name at the top, thepatch (JC) that was wornby the basketball team intribute to Joe after hisdeath, his years of life

Most people struggle withfinancial problems for theirentire lives.

It is not only low incomepeople with this problem.Many of us would be sur-prised how many supposedlywealthy people are included.“Keeping up with Joneses”has been a problem for manyfor ever since that saying wascoined. I remember way backwhen I was in my 20s makingthe decision that Jones wasnot my problem, it was anyonewho thought Jones was sovery important’s problem.

OK, are you ready for thequote? It comes from no lessthan Albert Einstein. He wasasked what was the most im-portant mathematic formula

he knew. Hisanswer: com-pound inter-est! Let meexplain thewisdom of thisas it affectsalmost all ofus.

Compoundinterest iswhen you

make an investment and allowthe earnings to be reinvestedover a period of time. Theresult is that over a span ofyears the principle grows andcreates more earnings whichin turn continue to grow moreprinciple and increased earn-ings. The growth expands by agreater amount every year. If

you have started early theyearly increase is very large.

If you want to check thisout, go to any of several sitesfor compound interest on yourcomputer. Keep in mind thatthis is not a get rich quickscheme. It is a get rich slowlyidea. If you are in your 20s or30s it only takes a steadyamount each week to add up toa sizeable amount when youretire.

The secret to making itwork is to avoid spendingmoney on wasteful or uselessthings. It is up to you to decidewhat useless things you spendmoney on. My worst was thenew convertible I boughtwhen I got out of the Army.The payments kept me from

doing a lot of things thatseemed important at the time.

As I learned to do without,they became less important.When the car was eventuallypaid off, I swore to never buya car until I could pay cash forit. This meant that the nextcar I bought was rather in-expensive and had very fewthings I would have liked tohave.

It was soon after that whenI learned about compoundinterest. My top priority wasestablishing a savings accountfor any reasonable emergen-cy. After that came quarterlyinvestments in good safe andproductive stocks that paiddividends. Dividends werealways reinvested to grow the

account. The added dividendsbecame compound interestand growth was clearly evi-dent after a few years.

If you are not a well in-formed investor it would be agood idea to seek help from atrusted adviser. In that case, itwould probably be wise toconsider a balanced mutualfund with a good record.These are not the most spec-tacular, but prove safe andreliable under most circum-stances. You should also con-sider starting very early asthe biggest returns come inthe latest years of the invest-ment.

A quote that is important to you

Edward LevyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Unions no longer forworkers

Pertaining to Bruce Hea-ley’s article on “Polling placesshould be sacred,” Bruce Hea-ley does not know the wholetruth about the “right to work”petition in Ohio, or the state ofthe unions in the USA.

Unions were formed to stopsweat shops and oppressivemanagement from givingworkers the ultimatum of “myway or the highway,” and toimprove worker pay and work-er benefits. To that I cannotcomplain. They were workeroriented.

I belong to UAW 647, GEEvendale. The concern I haveis, my dad fought in the Kore-an War against the communist.I joined the military andserved on behalf of my countryto protect it from the commu-nist. I teach my children theevil of communism. Then Ifind out that my union which ispart of the AFL-CIO has joinedthe communist party!

In my opinion unions haveceased being worker orientedand instead are party oriented.To this I say as a 35-year unionman, I support “right to work”in Ohio. I may not have a sayon the political stance of myunion, but I’ll have a better sayon where my union dues arespent. I’m sure not all the wellheeled folks living in IndianHill are communist, and nei-ther am I.

It wasn’t a particularlymemorable speech. Exceptfor one line: “This admini-stration today, here andnow, declares war on pover-ty in America.” That “waron poverty” would take theform of passage, by a heavi-ly Democratic Congress, ofseveral pieces of legislationwith which we live to thisday.

It seems that after half acentury, reviewing the ef-fectiveness, or lack thereof,of the War on Poverty, islong overdue. So here goes.

LBJ’s solution to povertywas more and bigger gov-ernment. New (and expen-sive) programs like JobCorps, Food Stamps, Medi-caid, the Legal ServicesCorporation and Head Start,to name but a few, collec-tively became known asLBJ’s “Great Society.” Inmany ways, it built uponand expanded PresidentFranklin Delano Roosevelt’sNew Deal programs whichwere aimed at bringingAmerica out of the GreatDepression. (Many arguethat those New Deal pro-grams, even though theycost a lot, didn’t ultimatelyend the Great Depression –World War II did.)

So how effective hasLBJ’s War on Poverty beenover the last 50 years? Un-fortunately, not very effec-tive. The poverty rate inAmerica is virtually thesame now as it was back in1964 when LBJ declared theWar on Poverty. And that’safter the expenditure of$20.7 trillion (with a “T”) ofyour hard-earned tax dol-lars on anti-poverty pro-grams.

In fact, arguably much ofthe money has beencounterproductive, causing

more harmthan good.For exam-ple, in orderfor a familyto receivewelfarepayments,an em-ployed adultmale couldnot be livingin a home

with the children. This dis-couraged marriage andtwo-parent families

Back in 1963, before thestart of the War on Poverty,only 6 percent of children inAmerica were born out ofwedlock. Today, that figurehas skyrocketed to 41 per-cent. The government, ineffect, became the father inthe household; rather than awage-earning, role model,adult male. This lack of afather in the home has ledto a wide array of socialproblems, from poor atten-dance and behavior atschool, to trouble with thelaw, to high rates of incar-ceration.

Unfortunately, ratherthan utilize these programsto become self-sufficient,and thus not need govern-ment assistance, far toomany people have becomedependent upon the govern-ment’s help, for life. Andthe family structure, partic-ularly in many lower in-come neighborhoods, hasbeen decimated, often as adirect result of the require-ments to receive aid in thefirst place.

I would submit that we’dbe a lot better off if that$20.7 trillion spent over theyears would have remainedin the pockets of the hard-working taxpayers of thisnation, to save or spend asthey saw fit, to spur eco-nomic growth, and createmore jobs for more people.After all, it’s been said thatthe best anti-poverty pro-gram, is a job.

The new state budget hasmade significant changes tothe Homestead Tax Reduction.

This real estate tax reduc-tion saves Hamilton Countytaxpayers between $300 and$450 per year on their realestate taxes. These changesinclude means testing for boththe age-qualified and the dis-ability-qualified applicants.This will now require proof ofincome before the applicationis approved for those whohave less than $30,500 for 2014Ohio Adjusted Gross Income.This limit will change annu-ally.

There is a “grandfatherclause” in the law that is allow-ing anyone who qualifies forthe 2013 tax year to be accept-ed without income verifica-tion. This grandfather status isportable, meaning it followsthe taxpayer if he or sheshould move to another home,even if it is in another county.To fall within this category onemust either already be receiv-ing the homestead reductionon his or her property or qual-ify as a late application by:

» owning and living in yourhome as of Jan. 1, 2013, and atthe time the late application isbeing filed, and

» being at least 65 years ofage any time during 2013 orbeing certified as totally andpermanently disabled as ofJan. 1, 2013, and

» completing and submit-ting a late homestead applica-tion between Jan. 7 and June 2,2014.

Grandfathered applicantsmust show proof of age or

disability. If ataxpayer qual-ifies for a latefile applica-tion, he or shemust file dur-ing the 2014applicationperiod or ayear’s worthof tax reduc-tion will be

lost and income limits will beapplied.

If the age, disability, oroccupancy requirements arenot achieved until 2014, appli-cation may be completed andsubmitted during the sameperiod (Jan. 7-June 2, 2014) andwith proper proof of age andincome. When applying, if a2014 income tax return will befiled, a copy of the signedFederal and State returns willneed to be presented at thetime of the application. Proofof income will be needed forthe applicant and the appli-cant’s spouse. If an income taxreturn is not filed, a mockreturn form will be requiredfor income verification.

It is important that thosetaxpayers who qualify underthe grandfather clause bemade aware of this and applyproperly so as not to lose thisreduction. If you have familymembers or friends who mayfall in this category, pleaseshare this information withthem.

St. Rita School for theDeaf’s newly renovated cha-pel and altar was recentlydedicated by Bishop JosephBinzer.

The chapel, which wasbuilt in 1915, has not beenupdated in more than 40years.

Many St. Rita School stu-dents have been unable toattend mass because the cha-pel could not accommodatetheir special needs.

More than 75 percent ofthe students have other chal-lenges besides hearing loss,including physical disabil-ities.

Without the generosity ofTom and Audrey Ruthman,the chapel and altar reno-vations would not be possible.

St. Rita School, in Even-dale, has committed everydollar raised to the educationof students, leaving no fundsavailable for building im-

provements.“We cannot thank Tom and

Audrey enough for their gen-erous gift to our staff andstudents,” executive directorGreg Ernst said. “They havemade it possible for our stu-dents not just to have the verybest education, but to learn ina beautiful and safe environ-ment that will encourage theirfaith and stimulate growth.”

In addition to funding thechapel project, Audrey Ruth-man designed the chapel her-self and made many otherbuilding updates includingthe front office, infant rooms,the dorms’ common room, andlandscaping.

This is Audrey Ruthman’ssixth chapel project in theTristate area, her most promi-nent being Good SamaritanHospital.

The St. Rita School chapelis open Sundays at 11 a.m. forpublic Mass.

Classic shrimpcocktail with twosauces

For Melanie, whowanted to serve shrimpfor her Super Bowl party.“I want to make theshrimp cocktail myselfinstead of buying it. Doyou have any tips forcooking the shrimp andfor an easy sauce?” sheasked.

Shrimp

2 dozen raw shrimp,deveined with tails on(see tip from Rita’skitchen)

8 quarts water1 lemon, cut in half2 garlic cloves, smashed3 tablespoons Old Bayseasoning

2 teaspoons salt

Bring water and sea-sonings to a boil. Addshrimp and when thewater returns to a boil,the shrimp should bedone. They will be bright.Have a bowl of ice water

ready toput theshrimp inafterdraining tocool themoff. Assoon asthey’recool, re-move fromwater and

refrigerate while makingsauce.

Cocktail sauceMix together:

1⁄2 cup chili sauce3⁄4 to 1 cup catsup1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, mincedHorseradish to tasteWorcestershire, Tabasco andlemon to taste

Even easier: Just mixchili sauce and catsup totaste

Horseradish sauceNo real recipe here

but I stir grated horse-radish into whippedcream. Or just buy horse-radish sauce and usethat. Sometimes I put asqueeze of lime into thesauce.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you buy frozenshrimp, thaw in ice waterin frig. and drain.

Most shrimp comealready deveined. Ifyou’re squeamish aboutit, ask to have them de-veined before you pur-chase.

8 oz. cream cheese, softened1 cup shredded Romano orParmesan cheese

1 pound large fresh jalapeñopeppers, halvedlengthwise and seeded

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook sausageand drain. Transfer tobowl and mix withcheeses. Spoon mixture

into each pepper half andarrange in single layer insprayed baking pan.Bake 20 minutes or untilbubbly and lightly gold-en.

Shehas been making tradi-tional slow cooker goettafor years and then decid-ed she needed an optionfor her many vegetariangrandchildren. It is deli-

cious, spicy and flavor-ful! I hope you decide toshare it.” Well, Julie, thisdoes look so good and,yes, I’m happy to shareyour Mom’s vegetariangoetta.

News that both Tar-get and NiemanMarcusstores are the latest tohave had their comput-ers hacked has made alot consumers nervous –and rightly so. The bigthing to be concernedabout is the use of debitcards at these retailers.

Credit card chargesare sent to you in state-ments each month al-lowing you to reviewthem before you pay.Debit card chargescome right out of yourbank account, so ifsomeone steals yourdebit card informationthey can empty all themoney from your ac-

countbefore youbecomeaware.Then,you’ve gotto notifyyour bankand try toget yourmoneyback,

which can take severaldays. In the meantime,you could be left unableto pay your bills. So, ifyou believe you’re af-fected by this, I recom-mend you cancel yourdebit card and get anew number.

Target is now of-

fering affected custom-ers one year free creditmonitoring, but emailsfrom the retailer arecreating problems oftheir own. One areawoman received whatappears to be a legiti-mate email from Target.It contains links so shecan sign up for the cred-it monitoring. However,she tells me she’s nevergiven Target her emailaddress so she has seri-ous questions about theemail’s authenticity.

I agree, there arereal questions aboutthat email so I suggest-ed she not click on anyof the enclosed links.

Rather, she can go di-rectly to Target’s web-site and get the infor-mation about how andwhere to sign up.

Target also saysshopper’s personal in-formation appears tohave been stolen andthat means there couldbe attempts at identitytheft. That’s why creditmonitoring is so impor-tant. You can also signup for free credit mon-itoring with Credit Kar-ma. It also providesyour credit report, in-cluding credit score, forfree. You can sign up atwww.creditkarma.com.

If your personal in-

formation has beenstolen, and thieves opencharge accounts in yourname, they can be verydifficult to resolve. Thebest thing to do is con-tact your state attorneygeneral. In Ohio, theattorney general set upa special Identity Theftunit that handled 578such cases in 2013.

Incidentally, thenumber of phony emailsout there appears to getlarger by the week. Oneof the newest to watchout for appears to comefrom your utility com-pany. It claims youhaven’t paid your billand demands immedi-

ate payment. At the topof the bill are the lettersPG&E, not Duke Energy

These emails arebeing sent all over thecountry prompting Pa-cific Gas and Electric tosay it is investigating. Ifyou get one of theseemails just delete itwithout clicking on anylinks or attachments.

Marking a first for thecollege, the nursing andradiologic technologyprograms at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati BlueAsh College are begin-ning to admit studentsthrough a selective ad-missions process.

Both programs areaccepting applicationsfrom prospective stu-dents who want to beconsidered for the fall2014 semester. The Den-tal Hygiene programwillimplement the sameprocess in fall 2015.

This is the first timethe college has intro-duced selective admis-sions for any of its aca-demic departments.“This change is beingmade to better serve ourstudents,” said CadyShort-Thompson, dean ofUC Blue Ash College.

“These programs areextremely popular andprepare our studentsvery well, but the num-ber of students we canaccept each semester islimited. As a result, wewere seeing waiting listsof up to three or fouryears.”

The waiting lists causea variety of issues. Alongwith forcing a student todelay their future plans,college leaders notedthat students would oftenuse up their financial aid

with elective coursesbefore they could evenbegin their chosen pro-gram.

Under the new selec-tive admission process,students will be requiredto meet certain minimumrequirements beforethey can be considered.Those requirementsinclude specific levels ofachievement in chem-istry, biology, math, Eng-lish and grade point aver-age.

“This process will helpstudents who are qual-ified, prepared, and com-mitted gain access totheir chosen field ofstudy in a much moretimely fashion,” Short-Thompson said.

The deadline to applyfor admission to the nurs-ing or radiologic technol-ogy programs is Feb. 1.To learn more about theselective admission proc-ess and program require-ments, go towww.ucblueash.edu..
