Where are the worst roadsand potholes in the area? Youtold us:

“The stretch of McHenryAvenue in East Westwood, be-tween Henrianne Court andBaltimore Avenue is prettymuch just one big pothole.”

And it has beenso for several years. Why is it,that my no-outlet street wasgraced, at considerable ex-pense,with 'rehabilitated' curbsthis year, while WestwoodNorthern continues to be ne-glected?How are projects prio-ritized by both Cheviot andGreen Township?

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP — TheCincinnati Metropolitan Sew-er District began excavationlast week to remove up to 72pounds of mercury and theflowmeters that contain it thatwere buried in the RumpkeSanitary Landfill ColerainTownship last June.

The nine flow meters, eachcontaining four to eightpounds of mercury, were acci-dentally delivered to RumpkeSanitary Landfill for disposalbyMSD personnel June 22.

MSD, Rumpke and the OhioEnvironmental ProtectionAgency have been workingsince then to develop a plan tomitigate the problem.

Amanda Pratt, spokeswom-anforthelandfill, saidthemer-cury is believed to be buried inthe southern portion of thelandfill, beneath 20,000 cubicyards of waste. Upon learningof the accidental disposal,Pratt saidRumpke immediate-ly stopped landfilling in theareaandseparatedthatdispos-al region from the rest of itslandfill operation.

“This is MSD’s project,however,Rumpke is verycom-mitted toworkingwith them toimplement this plan with little

impact, and to doing so as effi-ciently and quickly as possi-ble,” she said. “As always thesafety of our employees andthecommunity is our chief pri-ority.Wewant todowhat’s bestfor the environment.”

In October, MSD, Ohio EPAand Rumpke, conducted astudy of the area of the landfillwhere the meters werethought to have been disposed.

Based on data from the in-

vestigation, an Ohio EPA-ap-proved excavation plan wasdeveloped to removeandprop-erly dispose of the flowmeterswith minimal disruption to thelandfill and public.

Now that plan is being exe-cuted.

“It is crucial that this proc-ess be completed as quicklyand efficiently to minimizeany potential impact from thismaterial. We are committed to

a quick and safe process,” saidJay Roberts, director of envi-ronmental affairs and engi-neering at Rumpke.

The excavation area is 50-by-25 feet at a depth of approx-imately 25 feet, Pratt said. Ateam of six employees willwork in the area to completethe task.

If you provide the en-gine, FitChixx will pro-vide the “Fuel.”

FitChixx is a virtualsupport community thatascribes to the philosophythat true fitness comesfrom more than the phys-ical.Theypreachbalance,saying a bond is built insharing successes andfailures in what they callthe Seven Fs: faith, fit-ness, food, friends, fam-ily, fantasy and fashion.

They provide a venueto share those successesand failures, and theyhave practical help forwomen reaching for thatphysical fitness goal.“Fuel” is what its design-ers call their 13-week life-styleprogramdesigned toinclude physical activityand food.

“Fuel” is thebrainchildof two FitChixx, ColerainTownship resident KatieRhodes and Jenna Dun-

ham of Northern Ken-tucky. Rhodes, 37, motherof two, physical therapist,personal trainer, groupfitness instructor is co-owner of FitChixx LLCwith Dunham, 37, who isalsoamotherof twoplusa

stepdaughter, stay-at-home mom, and a fitnessinstructor/wellness con-sultant.

The duo was part ofGORGO online maga-zine’s “Real StrengthCampaign,” representingall women that are striv-ing to live a fit lifestyle.Theyhaveups anddowns.They have goals and busylives.

Rhodes said the cam-paign was a good experi-ence for her.

“I have never been in agroup with so much incommon who were so dif-ferent,” she said. “Andev-eryone’s attitude was sosupportive of one another.It was so great.”

She and co-owner Dun-ham have years of techni-cal expertise with an eyetowards practical and on-going application of whatthey have learned.

Rhodes says she lovesgiving women the toolsthey need to be fit andlead a healthy life.

She says Fuel is de-signed to encourage lotsof movement, while com-bining a resource guidefor daily meals that letwomen fuel their metabo-lism with new habits likeclean eating, the art ofmoderation, the hard

work of discipline, andoverall weekly balance.

The tools used in theFuel program are afford-able on any budget andpractical in or out of agym. Rhodes says Fuel is

designed tochallengeand to safe-ly get yousweaty soyou pro-duceenough“heat” inyour bodyto fire up

your metabolism. Shesays you have to be com-mitted to both sides of theequation for success:moving four to five days aweek and implementing afood plan.

If you wanted to makehealth your New Year’sgoal, Rhodes says there isno time like the present.

“Classes start gettingbusy after the SuperBowl,” she said. “It’s likepeople decide they arejust going to wait until af-ter the big game to get se-rious.”

FitChixx instructor Katie Rhodes, and classmembers Katie Limle and Stefanie Feltnerwork their way across the floor. Rhodes says class members don’t have to worry aboutkeeping up. “We have modifications for every fitness level,” she said.JENNIE KEY/THE

GREEN TWP.—The con-gregation at BridgetownChurch of Christ is cele-brating the recent trans-formation of the church.

Members of the GreenTownship church, 3854Race Road, began a capi-tal campaign in 2012 torenovate thebuilding, andconstruction wrapped upjust in time for Christmasand the new year.

“We’ve had really posi-tive feedback so far fromboth our older and young-er congregation mem-bers,” said senior minis-ter Nathan Hardesty.“When we went into theprojectwewanted tohaveaspects that appealed toall ages.”

He said the congrega-tion committed to raising$750,000 for the roughly$1million renovation pro-ject, and the church re-ceivedaloanfromChurchDevelopment Fund Inc. topay for the remainder ofthe cost.

Construction began inMarch 2013 after thechurch’s Easter service.

Hardestysaid theymetfor services off-site aNewcomer Funeral homefor nine months while thework was being complet-ed, and they moved backinto their renovated homeright before the Christ-mas Eve service.

The renovation projectincluded the addition of anewwelcome lobbywitha

coffee area, new carpetthroughout the church,new windows, upgradesto the electric system andHVAC system, the instal-lation of an elevator andfour new restrooms thatmeetAmericanswithDis-abilities Act standards.

Hardesty said theyalso added parkingspaces, remodeled a chil-dren’s restroom, in-creased security of thechildren’s area, replacedthe pews in the sanctuarywith padded chairs andrenovated the church’s2,800-square-feet fellow-ship hall.

“Our mission state-ment states that we wantto ‘Love our communityand invite them into a life-changing relationshipwith Jesus Christ.’”

While congregationmembers who participatein the church’s many pro-grams will enjoy the newspace, Hardesty said thecommunity is also wel-come to benefit from therenovations.

GREEN TWP. — SpringmyerElementary School is comingtogether to support one of itsfamilies and invites thecommu-nity to join in helping.

Michelle Ellis, the schoolpsychologist at Springmyer,said this past summer the Lin-nig family found out theiryoungest daughter, 3-year-oldKylie, has a form of childhoodcancer.

Springmyer staff keeps inclose communication with theLinnigs, who also have a daugh-ter inkindergartenandadaugh-ter in the fifth-grade at Spring-myer, and Ellis said she closelyfollowsablog thefamilystartedto let everyone know howKylieis doing.

“I was looking at the carepage and saw that hermom hadposted some information aboutways people could help, and oneof the ways was donatingblood,” Ellis said.

After reading about howKy-lie has depended on blood dona-tions, Ellis decided to take ac-tion and organized a blood driveat the school.

Springmyer will host a blooddrive for the Hoxworth BloodCenter from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.Monday, Feb. 10, in the school’sgymnasium, 4179 EbenezerRoad.Theblooddrivewasorigi-nally set for a day inDecember,buthad tobe rescheduleddue toa school snow day.

“Everyone wants to be ableto do something to help, and thiswas something I could do,” Ellissaid.

Several Springmyer teach-ers and parents have signed uptodonate,aswellasmanyteach-ers and parents from through-out the Oak Hills district, shesaid.

Community members inter-ested indonatingcanscheduleatime online at www.hox-worth.org/groups

/springmyer or contact Ellisat 574-1205 [email protected].

Requirements and eligibilityfor donating are listed on theabove web page.

Springmyer staff membershave been promoting the blooddriveandstudentsmadeavideoabout theevent inwhich they in-terviewed Ellis and Kylie’s old-est sister, fifth-grader KaitlynLinnig.

Since finding out about thecancer in July, Kaitlyn Linnigsaidher sister has receiveddoz-ens of chemotherapy treat-ments and transfusions of red

blood cells and platelets.“The transfusions are very

important for her to be able torecover from chemotherapy,”Kaitlyn said.

The McAuley High Schooljuniors in Jen Torline’s chemis-try class celebrated the end ofthe first semester with a“sweet” lab.

They made hard candy in allthe colors of the rainbow. Themain purpose of this labwas forthe students to learn the differ-ence between crystalline andamorphous solids. They madean amorphous solid similar tolollipops and LifeSavers.

The candy began as theymade a supersaturated sugar

solution, which was cooledquickly. In thisprocess, themol-ecules are frozen where theyare, forming a glass-like amor-phous solid.

Some other topics discussedin anarticle readbeforehandbythestudents includedthediffer-ence between the “soft ball,”“hard ball” and “hard crack”stages of candymaking, the dif-ferent formulas of sugars andhow water affects candy mak-ing.

COLERAIN TWP. — A“Culture of Winning” iswhat Northwest HighSchool wrestling coachNicholas Maffey preach-es to his mat men.

Two-plus years agowhen Maffey came backto his alma mater to takeover a floundering pro-gram, his roster was com-prisedof16wrestlerswhoturned ina14-21dualmeetrecord. Today his rosterconsists of 31 wrestlersandhis teamis8-3 indualsthis season.

It’s a turnaround thatmakes the 2002 North-west graduate proud butit’s a turnaround that isn’tnearly complete.

“We’re Division I here,we’re supposed tobecom-peting with the Moeller’s(of the world),” Maffeysaid. “We may not havethe most technique, wemay not have the mostkids on the team, but Ipromise you we’re goingto be in the best shape andcontinue to work to be thebest because we have towrestle the best. It’s agood challenge.”

Despite the solid rec-ord, this season has alsobeen a challenge from aninjury standpoint.Maffeyis missing five wrestlerswhostartedon themat forhim at the beginning ofthe season. The effect ofthose injuries was nevermore present during theDivision I, Region 8 teamtournament Jan. 22 at LaSalle High School wherethe Knights lost in theopening round to MountHealthy, a team theydom-inated the first week ofthe regular season.

“This is my year tohave injuries,” Maffeysaid, whowent 26-6 on themat his senior season fortheKnights. “…I’msurealot of teams have themand I’ve been healthy thelast two years, but this ismy year to be unhealthy.No excuses, it’s that timeof the year. It’smy turn sowe justhave togo through

the ebb and flow.”Two guys who haven’t

been injured are juniorJulian Daniels and sopho-more Keyon Huntley.

Daniels, the youngerbrother of former Knightmat man and state placerAmeer Daniels, is cur-rently rankedNo.15 in thestate and third in the dis-trict at 170 pounds, ac-cording to Maffey. Heowns the school recordformost reversalsand theschool’s single season rec-ord for most near falls.His 75 career wins (as ofJan. 23) leave him just 34shyofhisbrother’s recordof 109 career wins.

“It’s been a lot of funworking with him,” Maf-fey said of Julian, whohe’sknownsincehewas inthe eighth grade. “... He’shuge on putting guys ontheirbackandjustdemor-alizing them before he

pins them. … Working isnot an issue for him. Hehas goals and heworks to-wards those goals andthere’s nothing that’s go-ing to get in his way.”

Huntley spent the en-tire summer in theweightroom and after posting an18-14 record at106 poundsin 2013; the sophomore is25-4 at 113 this season.

While hismission is farfrom complete, Maffeyboasts a strong freshmenclass this season and willbe joined by anotherstrong group of freshmenin 2015, so things aremov-ing in right direction onPippin Road.

“We’re22-8 the last twoyears so we’re gettingprogressively better. …We’re beating the school’sweshouldbeatandthat’sabig difference from twoyears ago.”

NORTH COLLEGE HILL— McAuley High Schoolbasketball coach DanWallace called it.

Minutes after a 14-point loss to Mason HighSchool Jan. 22, he said,“We need to play a goodteamandweneed to haveeverything clicking inthat game and we need toget one. As soon aswegetone of those big wins I’mreally excited to seewhatthis team is going to do.”

Well, his Mohawks gotthat big win Jan. 23 asthey knocked off Girls’Greater Catholic Leagueleading Mt. Notre Dame63-58 in overtime.

The victory came dur-ing a stretch where theMohawks played fiveconsecutive road gamesbefore coming home toplay two teams ranked inthe top five of The En-quirer Division I areacoaches’ poll on back-to-back nights due to a snowday Jan. 21.

Wallace returned toMcAuley where he wasan assistant before tak-ing the head-coaching po-sition at Colerain. Any-time a new coach takesover and implements hissystem,a teamisneveratfull strength until the lat-ter part of the season.

This looks to be the casefor the Mohawks asthey’ve won six of theirlast seven games.

“The girls are startingto play with a lot of confi-dence and defensively

we’re starting to suresome things up,” Wallacesaid. “I think we’re get-ting better every day.”

The development offreshman Lexi Chrismanhas been vital to what theMohawks have accom-plished thus far. The 6-foot-1 forward has start-ed all 16 games for Wal-lace and has scored indouble figures in three ofthe last five games afterjust one double-digitgame over the first 11.

“She just continues togrowasabasketballplay-erandshehasagreatpas-sion for the game,” Wal-lace said. “She’s one ofthe most coachable kidsI’ve ever had and whenyou’recoachable like thatyou can learn and growpretty quickly.”

Wallace’s new systemhas proved vital in theperformances of junior’sEmilyVogelpohlandSyd-ney Lambert. The back-court duo is averaging acombined 27.6 points, 9.4rebounds, 6.3 assists and5.8 steals this season.While Lambert dropped24 in thewin overMt. No-tre Dame, it’s Vogelpohlwho leads the Mohawkswith14.7 points per gameand 15 double-digit scor-ing outputs this season.

ticed hard every day,”Wallace said ofVogelpohl.“I think the harder shepractices, themoregame-like her practices are, thebetter she’s going to be inthe game. … Her workethic and her personaldrive and her bringingthat to practice has reallyhelped her.”

The Mohawks haveplayed six teams rankedin the top 10 of The En-quirer Division I poll.That schedule will likelyallow the Mohawks tohaveasenseofcalmcomethe postseason, but willWallace’s premonition ofhis team taking off after a

big win come true in thelong run?

“This group listens,they play hard, they playtogether,” the coach said.“As we continue to moldas a teamwith ourperson-alities I think it’s going tobe really interesting towatch this team growover the rest of the sea-son. … I’m excited to seehow this season ends upand I think the future isbright.”

MT. HEALTHY — To talkabout what is or whatcould be: That is the ques-tion.

While the MountHealthyHigh School boysbasketball team is 8-5 (asof Jan. 23) and in secondplace in the SouthwestOhio Conference, whatcould be is a questioncoach J.J. Clark thinksabout often.

“Every game exceptthe Moeller game, we’vebeen in it right to themid-dle of the fourth quarterand things have just notgone our way,” he said.

Outside of a 30-pointloss to the Crusaders, theOwls had leads going tothe fourth quarter againstAmeliaandWesternHills,trailedbyoneat thehalf toconference-leading Wil-mington and were downjust one point to Colerainwith three and a half min-utes to gobefore losingbydouble digits.

At the same time theOwls have won eight ormore games for just thethird time in seven sea-sons and are still alive fora share of the conferencetitle as the Owls face a re-match with HurricanesJan. 31.

Much of that successhas to dowith experience.

After starting three soph-omores and a freshmanlast season, Clark boastseight seniors on his rosterproviding the senior lead-ership not present duringlast season’s 4-19 esca-pade.

“It’s huge,” Clark saidof the leadership. “Theseniors we do have, mostof them are playing sig-nificant minutes, and theones who aren’t are stillproviding good leader-

ship in practice andthey’re starting to getmore minutes and playbetter.”

Andrew Wilfong is asenior with a lot of poten-tial. In his first varsitygame during his sopho-more season, he had 26pointsand11rebounds inawin over Glen Este. Thisseason he’s second on theteam with 9.3 points pergame while pulling down3.8 rebounds.

“He’s learning how toplay thegameandwhatheneeds to do,” Clark said,who is in his third seasonat Mt. Healthy. “He’sstartingtocomealongandhis points are really start-ing to come on lately.”

Kenneth Glenn is aplayer Clark sees startingtocomeintohisrole.At6.1points and 3.9 rebounds agame, expect those num-bers to go up over the re-mainder of his senior sea-

son.“He’s the one guy we

have that can consistentlyplayabove therim,”Clarksaid. “He dunks it veryeasily, he gets his body init and he’s quick, so he’sthe one guy that reallyshould pick it up.”

The emergence of ju-nior point guard KennethEnglish has provided theOwls with a burst of ener-gy welcome on any team.English is averaging 9.0points, 3.5 assists and aleague-leading 4.6 stealsper game.

“He’s made differ-ence,” Clark said. “He’sreally driving a lot of thestuff we’re doing. I thinkhe’s really starting to un-derstand what I need himto do. … I never have toask him to play hard andhewants towin. I think hewants to win more than I

do.”Clark is going to need

the best from all of hisguys over the final monthof the season as the Owlsstill have to play SWOC-and neighborhood-rivalNorthwest twice, alongwith the top-ranked Divi-sion II team in Ohio inRoger Bacon and theaforementioned Hurri-canes.

“The main thing in allof those games, and I tellour guys this, we have tofocus on what we do wellmore thanwhat (ouroppo-nents) do well,” Clarksaid. “We have to dothings that we need to dotowin games.…Our guysare starting to get confi-dence, and if you’ve beenaround this game longenough, you know confi-dence is the No. 1 thingthat you can have.”

NORTHWESTPRESSEditor: Dick Maloney, [email protected], 248-7134

On Jan. 28, PresidentObama will deliver hisState of the Union Addressto Congress and the nation.50 years ago, another Presi-dent, Lyndon Baines John-son gave his first State ofthe Union Address, just twomonths after the assassina-tion of President Kennedy.

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 theeffectiveness, or lackthereof, of the War on Pov-erty, is long overdue. Sohere 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 HeadStart, to name but a few,collectively became knownas LBJ’s “Great Society.” Inmany ways, it built uponand expanded PresidentFranklin Delano Roose-velt’s New Deal programswhich were aimed at bring-ing America out of theGreat Depression. (Many

argue thatthose NewDeal pro-grams, eventhough theycost a lot,didn’t ulti-mately endthe GreatDepression –World War IIdid.)

So howeffective has

LBJ’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 muchof the money has beencounterproductive, causingmore harm than good. Forexample, in order for afamily to receive welfarepayments, an employedadult male could not beliving in a home with thechildren. This discouragedmarriage and two-parentfamilies

Back in 1963, before thestart of the War on Poverty,only 6 percent of childrenin America were born outof wedlock. Today, thatfigure has skyrocketed to

41 percent. The govern-ment, in effect, became thefather in the household;rather than a wage-earning,role model, adult male. Thislack of a father in the homehas led to a wide array ofsocial problems, from poorattendance and behavior atschool, to trouble with thelaw, to high rates of in-carceration.

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.

Jan. 22 questionAre youworried about terrorist

attacks at the 2014Winter Olympicsin Sochi, Russia? Why or why not?

“I have concerns about prob-lems at the upcoming Sochi Win-ter Olympics. After the 9/11 at-tacks and the 1972 OlympicGames at Munich I would not ruleout terrorist activity. The USmust feel the same way as theyare currently moving in carriergroup into the Black Sea . Russia,like China and Brazil is divertingbillions of dollars on these games.These billions would have bene-

For the year ending Dec. 31,Green Township had gross reve-nue of $41,303,064 and gross dis-bursements of $37,446,262 for allfunds. This reflects TIF fundswhere 62 percent goes to the vari-ous school districts and the town-ship receives 38 percent of theTIF funds. The general fund had$5,763,673 in revenue and$5,150,149 in disbursements in2013.

The general fund revenue wasreduced $669,927 from 2012. Thisreduction was because there wasa reduction in Ohio estate taxes of$264,945, local government fundof $181,246 and real estate taxesdown $372,001 from its 2012 total.Income in the township’s fire levyincreased mainly due to an in-crease of $150,155 from EMS fees.

Total operating expenses weredown $695,876 from 2012. Thiswas due impart to a very mildwinter so less was spent on saltand wages. The cost of medicalinsurance was less and pensioncontributions were less than in2012. Reduced expenses were alsoa result of effective purchasingprocedures.

The Ohio estate tax was re-pealed effective Jan. 1, 2013. AnOhio estate tax return must befiled within nine months of death.In 2013, Green Township received$2,913,532 from the Ohio estatetax. Since the estate tax has beeneliminated, Green Township willreceive little estate tax money inthe future, unless a party has anextension to file their final Ohioestate tax return.

Green Township has receivedan average of approximately$2,800,000 over the last eightyears from the Ohio estate tax.Obviously, with the elimination ofrevenue from the Ohio estate tax,the general fund for the townshipwill in all likelihood run a deficitin 2014.

In addition to the loss of reve-nue from the Ohio estate tax reve-nue, a plethora of losses of otherincome streams for the townshipwill create many challenges in theyear 2014.

» Reduction of the local gov-

ernment fundincome whichhas been re-duced by thestate from ap-proximately$1,100,000 inprevious yearsto $488,000 in2013.

» Reductionin real propertyvaluations

which reduced revenue of variouslevies approximately $400,000.

» Elimination of approximately$450,000 from the public utilityproperty tax and tangible personproperty revenue.

» Reduction of interest incomeon the township’s investments dueto historically low interest rates.

On a positive note, the TIF hadrevenue of more than $23,500,000in 2013 and will continue to grow.TIF funds may not be used forsalary and benefits for townshipemployees pursuant to state law.

Another positive is the cre-ation of Joint Economic Devel-opment Districts (JEDDs) withinthe township.

In 2013, the township received$125,000 in JEDD revenue. Wepredict the revenue stream fromthe JEDDs will increase to morethan $1,000,000 in the future. Cur-rent JEDDs include: Mercy Hos-pital West, Tri-Health WesternRidge (Good Sam), Christ Hospi-tal and Children’s Hospital facil-ity on Harrison Avenue.

The township has sufficientreserves of cash on hand to meetall current operating expenses.However, with the reduction orelimination of funds from theOhio estate tax, the local govern-ment fund, the public utility prop-erty tax, the tangible personalproperty tax, historically lowinterest income on the township’sinvestments and reduction in levyincome due to property valua-tions, many challenges will faceGreen Township in future years.

Classic shrimpcocktail with twosauces

ForMelanie, 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 Bay

seasoning2 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 waterready to put the shrimp inafter draining to coolthem off. As soon asthey’re cool, remove fromwater and refrigeratewhile making sauce.

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 horseradishinto whipped cream. Orjust buy horseradishsauce and use that. Some-times I put a squeeze oflime into the sauce.

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.

Sausage-stuffedjalapenos

I have to admit, theseare addictive. I’vechanged the originalrecipe a bit. Be carefulwhen seeding hot pep-pers. Use gloves. Youcould use a sweeter pep-per if you like.

1pound favorite pork orturkey sausage

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 andmix withcheeses. Spoonmixture

into each pepper half andarrange in single layer insprayed baking pan. Bake20minutes or until bub-bly and lightly golden.

Carol’s vegetariangoetta

When I asked for read-ers to share goetta reci-pes, one of the first Ireceived was from readerJulie B. Julie shares hermom’s vegetarian goettarecipe. Here’s what Juliesays: “I have to share mymom’s vegetarian goettarecipe. She has beenmak-ing traditional slow cook-er goetta for years andthen decided she neededan option for her manyvegetarian grandchil-dren. It is delicious, spicyand flavorful! I hope you

decide to share it.” Well,Julie, this does look sogood and, yes, I’m happyto share yourMom’s veg-etarian goetta.

11⁄2 cups pinhead oats3 cups warm vegetablebroth

1⁄4 cup olive oil1medium chopped onion5 clovesminced garlic15 ounce can black beans,drained

2 teaspoons dried thyme1-2 teaspoons cumin (Julielikes 2)

1⁄2 teaspoon red pepperflakes

1 teaspoon salt1⁄2 teaspoon ground blackpepper

Combine everything inslow cooker. Cook on highfor about two hours, cov-

ered. Transfer to sprayedloaf pan, cover and coolovernight. When ready tocook, heat canola oil inskillet and add slicedgoetta. Cook on each sideabout five minutes untilgolden brown. (Carol saysyou really need the cano-la oil, as the goetta will bevery dry since it containsno fat frommeat).

News that both Target and Nie-manMarcus stores are the latestto have had their computershacked has made a lot consumersnervous – and rightly so. The bigthing to be concerned about is theuse of debit cards at these retail-ers.

Credit card charges are sent toyou in statements each monthallowing you to review them be-fore you pay. Debit card chargescome right out of your bank ac-count, so if someone steals yourdebit card information they canempty all the money from youraccount before you become aware.Then, you’ve got to notify yourbank and try to get your moneyback, which can take several days.In the meantime, you could be leftunable to pay your bills. So, if youbelieve you’re affected by this, Irecommend you cancel your debitcard and get a new number.

Target is now offering affectedcustomers one year free creditmonitoring, but emails from theretailer are creating problems oftheir own. One area woman re-ceived what appears to be a legiti-mate email from Target. It con-tains links so she can sign up forthe credit monitoring. However,she tells me she’s never givenTarget her email address so shehas serious questions about theemail’s authenticity.

I agree, there are real questionsabout that email so I suggested shenot click on any of the enclosedlinks. Rather, she can go directlyto Target’s website and get theinformation about how and whereto sign up.

Target also says shopper’s per-sonal information appears to havebeen stolen and that means there

could be attemptsat identity theft.That’s why creditmonitoring is soimportant. You canalso sign up forfree credit mon-itoring with CreditKarma. It alsoprovides yourcredit report,including credit

score, for free. You can sign upat www.creditkarma.com.

If your personal informationhas been stolen, and thieves opencharge accounts in your name,they can be very difficult toresolve. The best thing to do iscontact your state attorney gen-eral. In Ohio, the attorney gener-al set up a special Identity Theftunit that handled 578 such casesin 2013.

Incidentally, the number ofphony emails out there appearsto get larger by the week. One ofthe newest to watch out for ap-pears to come from your utilitycompany. It claims you haven’tpaid your bill and demands im-mediate payment. At the top ofthe bill are the letters PG&E, notDuke Energy

These emails are being sentall over the country promptingPacific Gas and Electric to say itis investigating. If you get one ofthese emails just delete it with-out clicking on any links or at-tachments.
