KIDS AGAINSTHUNGERRyle students send 7,000meals to food banks ineastern Kentucky. A3

If you’ve traveled Mt. Zion Roadaround rush hour, you’re familiarwith the problems that plague theincreasingly crowded thoroughfare.

A new interchange design pro-posed where the road and Interstate71/75 meet is drastically differentthan anything seen around theGreater Cincinnati area and aims toimprove congestion and safety in agrowing area.

Though still in the preliminarydesign phase, plans call for a doublecrossover diamond interchange to beconstructed.

As vehicles approach the inter-state on a road that includes thistype of interchange, traffic brieflycrosses to the opposite side of theroad in both directions. This allowsvehicles merging onto the interstate

ramp to turn left from the insidelane without crossing traffic. Oncepast the intersection, vehicle trafficreturns to the traditional side of theroad.

The first double crossover dia-mond (DCD) in America was con-structed in Missouri in 2009. Morethan a dozen are now open to trafficand even more are under construc-tion and design.

Kentucky’s first DCD interchangewas constructed in Lexington atHarrodsburg Road (Ky. 68) and NewCircle Road (Ky. 4) and opened inAugust 2011.

Since opening, crashes have beenreduced by more than 40 percentand traffic queues have been cut inhalf, according to information pro-vided at a Jan. 17 public meetingabout the interchange plans.

Dozens of residents attended themeeting held by the Kentucky Trans-portation Cabinet.

While the meeting included aninformal open house, project man-ager Carol Callan-Ramler said dur-ing a formal presentation that thetransportation cabinet is looking atsafety and congestion.

KYTC spokesperson NancyWoodsaid in a phone conversation theDCD design will help with trafficflow and improve safety.

In addition to a historically highcrash rate in this area – informationprovided at the meeting says therewere 225 crashes reported between2009 and 2011within the projectlimits between Tiburon Drive andU.S. 25 – traffic volumes have in-creased since the interchange was

FLORENCE — Fire station construc-tion is just a fewmonths away.

The design phase for the FlorenceFire/EMS Department’s newest stationis nearly complete, and the project is setto move forward soon.

“We’re projecting to go out for bid inFebruary orMarch,” said city coordina-tor Rick Lunnemann.

The new station will be built behindHome Depot and Kohl’s on Ted Bushel-man Boulevard, the street named after

an opponent of the sta-tion’s location.

Before his death in2011, City Council mem-ber Ted Bushelman wasadamant that a new firestation should be built onthe Florence Govern-ment Center campus onEwingBoulevard, andnotoff of Houston Road, be-

cause it would better serve the side oftownwith older buildings and residents.

Based on the recommendation of firechief Marc Muench, Florence has goneforwardwith the locationonTedBushel-man Boulevard.

Preliminary estimates put the newfire station’s construction budget atabout $2.5 million and constructionwould take about a year, Lunnemannsaid.

Once the new station is operational,the department will reorganize staffingacross most of its stations. Currently,the department has three stations. Sta-tion No. 1, on Main Street, is staffed byonly volunteers, Station No. 2, on Indus-trial Road, is staffed only by career per-sonnel and Station No. 3, on WeaverRoad, is staffed by a combination of vol-unteer and career personnel.

Personnel from the Industrial Roadstation will move to the new station, andvolunteers from Main Street will moveto Industrial Road – leaving the MainStreet station unmanned.

first constructed, atrend future trafficforecasts suggest willcontinue.

Traffic volumes cur-rently range from17,500 vehicles per daywest of the interchangeto 23,500 vehicles perday east of the inter-change.

“By 2030, these vol-umes are expected to in-crease to 49,000 vehi-cles per day west of theinterchange to 57,000vehicles per day east,”the information says.“Reconstructing the in-terchangewill be neces-sary to accommodatethis future demand fortravel and to provide fu-ture mobility throughthe I-71/75 corridor.”

When discussing oth-er Ky. 536 projects inthe works, which in-clude projects immedi-

ately east and west,Callan-Ramler said thetransportation cabinetisn’t just looking atwhat’s happeningaround the interstate,“we’re looking at what’shappening across theregion.”

Ky. 536 is the onlynon-interstate east-west corridor that goesthrough Boone, Kentonand Campbell counties.

Because the Mt. Zioninterchange ties in withthe interstate, it’s “abso-lutely critical” the cab-inet gets things “as rightas we can.”

According to an in-formational brochurehanded out at the meet-ing, the interchangewasopened to traffic in 1992and underwent im-provements in 2007which added a lane be-neath the Interstate 71/75 overpass.

“While these interimimprovements resultedinmuch-needed conges-tion relief, it was a

short-term improve-ment,” the brochurereads. “The current pro-ject will address thelong-term needs of thecorridor.”

Steve Rials of Unionlives on Mt. Zion Road,about two miles fromthe interchange. He at-tended the meeting formore information.

“I think anythingthey can do to alleviatethe congestion downhere is going to be agood thing,” he said.“You can’t really stopprogress, it’s kind of al-ready here.”

Brian Aldridge, dep-uty transportation plan-ning manager for Stan-tec Consulting, spokeduring the formal pres-entation and said fund-ing is currently in placefor right of way acquisi-tion and utilities, “butwe’re not quite ready.”

“Even though thosefunds are technicallyavailable, they’re notauthorized because wehave to finish the envi-ronmental documenta-tion and we actuallyhave to get the designcomplete.”

It will likely be 2014before discussions be-gin about right of wayacquisitions, he said.

Missing a few extramorningwinks to stir up asatisfying delight, howev-er, makes it all worth-while.

BURLINGTON —Changes in the works atthe Boone County Clerk’sOffice seek tomake visitsmore convenient, if pa-trons even have to stop byat all.

Clerk Kenny Brownhighlighted changes thathave been implementedsince taking over theposi-tion two years ago and up-coming overhaulsplanned within the nextyear during a recentmeeting of the BooneCounty Fiscal Court.

Brown said the biggestchange is the office’s con-tinued growth in onlinerenewals.

“We’re committed togiving customers asmany options as we canand opportunities as wecan not to come in hereunless they have to formotor vehicle renewaltransactions,” the clerkexplained in a later con-versation.

Renewals make up thebrunt of the office’s trans-actions. Right now, pa-trons can do the renewalin person, by mail or theonline renewal, which iscurrently only availablefor the standard passen-ger plate.

This year, clerk’s of-fices statewide will tran-sition to a new system –

KAVIS, orthe Ken-tuckyAutomatedVehicle In-formationSystem –which willreplace the30-year-old

AVIS (Automated VehicleInformation System).

“What that will do forcustomers, it will allowthem to renew nearly ev-ery plate online, even ifit’s a specialty plate,”Brown explained. Theonly exceptions will beplates requiring a mem-bership card.

The new system willalso be, for the officestaff, “a much simplersystem to use.”

“Thiswill be amore ef-ficient, more timely proc-ess for in-person transac-tions,” he said.

Boone County is alsoworking to become thesecond county in the stateto offer over-the-phoneregistration renewals.

Brownsaidhehasbeenworking closely with theJefferson County clerk’soffice, the only county inthe state offering this op-tion. Its staff “has beenvery helpful helping meunderstand how to putthis together the rightway,” he said.

According to Brown,JeffersonCounty nowhas

more people using thephone renewal systemthan online renewals.

“We look (at) that asan-other option that custom-ers can have that will re-duce foot traffic in here,”he said.

“We’re a fast-growingcounty. We have two loca-tions and I’m committedtogivingcustomerseveryoption ... to get their trans-actions completed with-out coming in here.”

If the clerk’s office canreduce foot traffic duringthe month, it expeditestransactions for otherswho do have to come in,said Brown.

“Boone County’s grow-ing,” he said. “We don’twant to expandbricksandmortar or do any expan-sion of the office until wefully exhaust all the op-tions to reduce the traffichere with our currentstaff levels and currentfacility.”

This system will beginto slowly roll out duringthe first quarter. Once thekinks have been workedout, Brown said the officewill “turn it up and makesure all of Boone Countyknows this is an option.”

Brownhas alsoworkedwith the office’s creditcard vendor and the of-fice is now able to acceptVisa for all transactions.

FLORENCE — A little bit ofwork is going a long way.

Ryle’s Future BusinessLeaders of America club sentabout7,000meals to foodbanksin the Appalachian region ofKentucky.

The effort began in Novem-berwhentheclubhosteda5ktoraise money for Kids AgainstHunger.

Kids Against Hunger is acharity that aims to signifi-cantly reduce the number of

hungry children in the UnitedStatesandtofeedstarvingchil-dren throughout the world.This is done by distributing ahighly nutritious, vitamin-for-tified soy-rice casserole tostarving children and theirfamilies in more than 60 coun-tries through partnershipswith humanitarian organiza-tions worldwide.

The 5k raised $2,050, whichwas used to buy the meals.

About 40 volunteers fromtheFBLA joinedupwith sever-al other groups who’d raisedmoney for meals at 7 Hills

Church in Florence Jan. 12 topack up meals and ship themoff. With the 7,000 meals fromtheRyleFBLA, a total of 38,000meals are going to the Appala-chia area.

Due to tough economic cir-cumstances, that area was fac-ing malnutrition risks, saidFBLA member Sadhvika Red-dy, a senior.

“Their food banks had com-pletely empty shelves,” Reddysaid.

Having the FBLA put a dentin the problem is a proud ac-complishment for the group,

she said.“Just thinking about feed-

ing 7,000 people is hard to fath-om,” Reddy said.

This was the FBLA’s firstexperience with Kids AgainstHunger, but after seeing howmuch the club can help, the re-lationship will likely continue,said FBLA member Faith Ev-ans, a junior.

“I think next year we mightcontinue with the packagingbecause it was such an awe-some experience,” Evans said.

HEBRON—

The players on the Con-ner High School boysbasketball team canlook up during a gamein their gym and see asign near the bench

that says “Be a cedar, not a palm.”The lesson in herbology reminds

them that cedar trees are strong andsturdy and can survive in a storm,while palm trees only survive whenthe weather is nice and warm butthey break in the face of adversity.

The phrase was often used by BillWarfield, the deceased former Con-ner coach whose name is perma-nently painted on the floor in frontof the Conner bench.

“We would huddle around a stickfrom a cedar all the time,” said cur-rent head coach JimHicks, whoplayed for Warfield as a Cougar.

The 2012-13 Conner Cougars haveweathered plenty of storms thisseason and Jan. 18 they struck backby sweeping away rival Ryle withhurricane strength. Conner routedthe Raiders 74-48.

It was Conner’s first win in the33rd District, avenging an earliersix-point loss (79-73) to Ryle. Conneris 1-3 in seeding play and 8-8 overall.Ryle dropped to 8-9 and 2-2.

“The guys really played well ondefense,” Hicks said. “I knew if wecould keep it to a halfcourt game,that was to our favor. We didn’t wantto run up and down the floor withthem like we did last time. We’vebeen concentrating on halfcourtdefense and rebounding.”

Conner had a steady lead be-tween six and 12 points for most ofthe game before blowing away theRaiders with a 21-7 fourth quarter.

Junior Samuel Hemmerich, Con-ner’s leading scorer at nearly 20points per game, scored 25 in thegame, including 14 in the first half.One of the tallest Cougars at 6-foot-2, Hemmerich is a versatilescorer.

“We really picked up our de-fense,” Hemmerich said. “Wehelped each other out. Our offense,we went after the rebounds andmade most of our free throws.”

Hemmerich has becomemoreversatile every season.

“He’s a very tough matchup,”Hicks said. “He can shoot fromoutside and he’s worked really hardto be able to score off the bounce.He’s a fun kid to coach. With him, he

FLORENCE—There is no easy solutionto replacing nearly your entire roster.Afterwinning67gamesof the last threeyears, Boone County entered this sea-son with nearly an entire roster turn-over. There were some growing painsand stumbling blocks out of the gate,but the Rebels appear to have weath-ered the roughest patch of the season.

“Since we graduated our top sevenplayers from last season, I really didn’tknowwhat toexpect fromourplayers ina varsity game,” said head coach GregMcQueary. “Even thoughwe have someseniors on this team, they had very lit-tle, if any,varsityexperiencebefore theseason started.”

The Rebels dropped six of their firstnine contests. Boone County played intwo holiday tournaments and seemed toturn a corner during those tourna-ments. A Dec. 22 victory over AshlandBlazer in the Raceland Derby Classicwas especially sweet after losing athome in overtime to the same team aweek earlier. The Rebels also had toovercome unexpected adversity, asseveral players were ill that week andsome could not even make the trip.BrendanStanleyputupacareer-high33points despite battling illness earlier inthe week.

“The first tourney gave the team achance to bond and deal with the adver-sity of a few players being ill or unabletomake the tripbecauseof illness,” saidMcQueary.

The momentum from that win car-ried theRebels into theBrackenCountyHoliday Classic. Boone County won allthree of its games in the tournament.

“The second tourney is when westarted to takebetter careof thebasket-ball and started winning games wemight have lost beforeChristmas,” saidMcQueary. “These games arewherewestarted to value possessions more andstarted making free throws more con-sistently than earlier in the season.”

As if replacing the top seven in therotation entering the year was notenough, the Rebels also had to contentwith Brannen McDonald’s offseasonknee injury, BrettMayberry’s late startafter the soccer season, and JesseSchulze’s year off after not making theteam due to its bevy of talented seniorguards a year ago. All three haveemergedaskeyperformers this season.

WALTON—The Walton-Verona girls basketballteam has some unexpect-ed time off this week.

The Bearcats had aweek between games af-ter losing 62-53 Jan. 19 to32nd District foe SimonKenton, dropping theBearcats to 12-7. Waltonwas hoping to play fourgames this week, whichwas mostly cleared in thepreseason for the All “A”Classic state tournament.

The Bearcats won’thave a chance to defendtheir2012statechampion-ship after falling to OwenCounty 46-45 in the re-gional. That does givethem extra practice timeto work on things beforetaking on Henry CountySaturday, Jan. 26.

“I’d rather be playinginFrankfortbutwehaveawholeweekand that givesus some time to rest,” saidcoach Mark Clinken-beard. The Bearcats havebeen practicing in Janu-ary adjusting to the ab-sence of senior post play-er Courtney Sandlin, whoinjuredher leftarmshort-ly after Christmas. TheBellarmine recruit is like-ly to return for the HenryCounty game but will beplaying limited minutesfor at least a couple ofweeks, he said.

Molly Clinkenbeard, aveteran senior pointguard and the coach’sdaughter, has been in-jured as well and had hermost extensive recent ac-

tion against Simon, scor-ing 10 points and playingmost of the minutes.

“We’re thinking theglass is half-full,” coachClinkenbeard said. “Someother kids have had toplay a lot of minutes thatwouldn’t have gotten toplay a lot. You can seetheir improvement sohopefullywhenweget ev-erybody back we’ll be alittle bit deeper.”

Against Simon, seniorcenter Michele Judy had19 points. Clinkenbeardand senior forward LizMcAdams had 10 pointsapiece and freshman for-ward Hailey Ison eight.

The loss to Simonlocked up the two seed forWalton, who will play ei-

ther Grant County or Wil-liamstown in the districttourney. TheBearcats are3-0 against those two,win-ning by an average of 31points, and W-V hostsGrant County Jan. 30.

The ultimate goal nowis to gun for the team’sthird-straight postseasonEighth Region champion-ship. The Bearcats havehadabrutal schedulewithand without Sandlin. Twoof the seven losses havecome to defending 11thRegion champ Dunbarand another to defendingSixth Region champ But-ler.Walton has beatenNo-tre Dame and will take onsome of the state’s topteams in the Louisville In-vitational starting Feb. 1.

At Ryle High School,where I teach, instilling agiving spirit in our studentsis part of our tradition. Mostof us would agree that teach-ing young people to give backto the community is a laud-able goal, but how do you dothat? Sometimes all it takesis a simple idea, encourage-ment from adults, and allow-ing the students to run withit.

Several years ago, a teach-er started encouraging thestudents to turn in used butstill usable school supplies atthe end of each year. Thesupplies are sorted and givenout at the beginning of thenext school year to anyonewho wants to shop. It hasbecome a habit for students

to drop offanything thatthey cannotuse anymoreso that some-one else canuse it.

Some stu-dents even gothrough thetrash cans atlocker clean-out to makesure usable

items are saved. I have heardstudents say that they havenot bought a binder in theirfour years at Ryle. This is asimple idea that has been areal service to many studentsand that has taught service tomany as well.

Another teacher heard

that the Parish Kitchen, anorganization that serves 1,600meals per week to those inneed, was in search of home-made desserts to serve. Thusthe “Bake for the ParishKitchen” project was born.Each week during Octoberone of the grades, startingwith the freshmen and end-ing with the seniors, bakeddesserts and brought them inon Fridays to be sent to theParish Kitchen.

According to Dan Nolan,Parish Kitchen director, onthe last Friday, “The van wasso full that I was able toshare some of the bakedgoods with Welcome Houseand Fairhaven Rescue Mis-sion.” Again, this was a sim-ple idea that helped many

people.These are just two of the

many projects that go on atRyle. These projects help ourstudents realize that thoughno one person can do every-thing, each of us has the ca-pability to do something thatwill make a difference in thelife of another.

So now I ask you – do youhave a simple idea that canbe developed into a project tohelp others at your school,your workplace, or even yourhome? If so, what are youwaiting for? Go do it.

Mary Jo Rechtin, a teacher at RyleHigh School, was Boone CountySchool District’s Break the Moldaward winner in December.

Residency shouldn’tmatter

On Jan. 10 there was an arti-cle in the Recorder stating thatthe Boone Count Sheriff wouldnolongerdolockouts intheFlor-ence city limits. Mayor Whalenwas upset about this. She said“residency should not be an is-sue.” She also stated that “... weneed to support our citizens.”

She is correct.But if residen-cy does not matter why do non-Florence residents have to paymore to use the Florence aquat-ic center. After all, residencyshould not matter.

There is an alternative to thesheriff’s department doinglockouts in Florence. It is calledthe Florence Police Depart-ment.

LETTER TO THEEDITOR

One of the greatemphases of thisproject will be roleplaying, which giveyoung people a per-sonal experience tounderstand an “ab-stract” conceptsuch as Interna-tional HumanitarianLaw. Role playinghelps to put an ideainto a humanitarian

perspective. It may be harder tounderstand an idea, but it’s easierwhen we put a face into the story.

One day I am a shopkeeper inBangkok, Thailand, who risks los-ing business for protecting a vic-tim of a street violence. Anotherday I am a Catholic factory workerwho went to incredible lengths tosave a Jewish stranger from theNazis in Germany. The next, I amGrace Lorch, a white woman, whorisked her life to escort ElizabethEckford through the mob in 1954 infront of Little Rock Central HighSchool. Taking on these roles helpsus understand the concept of a“bystander” in conflict and warsituation.

International Humanitarian Lawis not only relevant for those work-ing in war situation, actually whathappens in the world right nowaffects us locally. Jelaluddin Rumi,a 14th century Sufi poet said, “Be alamp, a lifeboat, or a ladder.” Thedecision is yours.

Dyah Miller serves as international ser-vices coordinator at the American RedCross Cincinnati Chapter. Originally fromIndonesia, she spent two years as a RotaryWorld Peace Fellow. To obtain more in-formation about the IHL Peer Educationprogram and applications for both TeamMembers and Team Mentors, [email protected] or call 513-579-3023.

Learning about InternationalHumanitarian Law (IHL) is rele-vant, meaningful and useful foryoung people in all societies, re-gardless of the absence of war orconflict and understanding ourroles and what we can do as a citi-zen is a helpful tool.

We currently have the highestpercentage of younger generation(those born after 1980) that willshape the future; therefore helpingthem to understand their roles as aglobal citizen is paramount.

The American Red Cross helpsthe public, especially younger gen-erations, to understand their worldthrough international humanitarianlaw education, both in and out ofclassrooms. This year, the Cincin-nati Chapter will join seven otherchapters nationally to implementthe IHL Peer Education Programfor young people.

The program will run from Feb.23 through the end of April andconsists of three stages: Explore,Address, and Implement. The maintraining on Feb. 23-24 will be led byRachele Tardi, senior adviser forpeer education from Washington,D.C., who has a wide range of peereducation experience with the Brit-ish Red Cross.

The participants, Team Mem-bers (ages 13-17) and Team Mentors(ages 18-25), will be working toexplore the importance of protect-ing the rights of people affected bywar, address an IHL-related issue,and implement an action project onwhat they learned from the train-ing. One team will be selected andsponsored to attend the first Na-tional Youth Conference in Wash-ington, D.C., on June 1-2. The par-ticipants will also be able to usethis experience to fulfill their ser-vice learning hours for school. Theapplication deadline for this pro-gram is Feb. 1.

Be a lamp, alifeboat or a ladder

DyahMillerCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

The Enquirer recently reported thatthe Northern Kentucky Tea Party andtraditional Republican Party have unit-ed. I’m skeptical. If true, it would seemto reflect their recognition of theirmutual long-term vulnerability follow-ing the last election. But I’m still skepti-cal.

Let’s look to the recent past. In 2010local Republican favorite son TreyGrayson, after having won two state-wide elections, was defeated in his bidfor the U.S. Senate by Rand Paul, adownstate doctor who had never runfor election. The local party estab-lishment was not happy. And fromwhatI hear, many have neither forgotten norforgiven since.

Meanwhile, over the past three yearthe Northern Kentucky Tea Party hasopposed county library taxes, schooltaxes, the Area Planning CommissionTax, and somewhat unbelievably, amodest increase in water treatmentrates to pay for removal of known car-cinogens from our drinking water. AsI’ve observed to some, these folks seemto have a problem not only with govern-ment but with certain fundamentalcomponents of our evolving civiliza-tion.

Except, of course, that they drive onpublicly financed roads, in cars thatmeet government standards, breatheclean air, drink the water, eat FDA ap-proved meat, rely on anti-discrimi-nation and workplace safety laws, par-ticipate in Medicare, enroll their chil-dren and grandchildren in publicschools, obtain government-protectedmortgages, invest in government-pro-tected financial institutions and securi-ties exchanges, expect massive govern-ment assistance to combat natural di-sasters, and rely on police and fireprofessionals, military defense forces,and our justice system to protect themfrom amyriad of natural and man-made adversities.

In other words: they rely on multi-tudes of government services while

maintaining a mentalfantasy life in whichthey are ruggedly in-dependent, reliant onno one, and have littleobligation to pay forservices they sharealong with their fellowcitizens.

Former U.S. Su-preme Court ChiefJustice Oliver WendellHolmes – hardly a lib-

eral – said over a century and a half agothat “taxes are the price we pay forcivilization.”

As local Republican leaders know,especially business and Chamber ofCommerce leaders, we all prosper in aneconomy built on people pursuing theirdreams within a framework of reason-able government regulation that pro-tects vital public interests. They knowthat governmental investments in edu-cation, transportation, infrastructure,and jobs and employment supportshave been instrumental in supportingour economic development. They know,from experience, that the Tea Partyobsession with minimalist governmentis not the pathway to a higher standardof living and quality of life.

From all this I conclude that reportsof unification, like reports of MarkTwain’s death, are highly exaggerated.Political parties are primarily aboutwinning elections – but they are also,like religious traditions, carriers ofculture, in this case our political, socialand economic culture. If the Tea Partyhas captured the Republican Party,many traditional Republicans will notfind a compatible home there.

So: if you find yourself in that situa-tion, come and talk with us in the Dem-ocratic Party. You might be surprisedat the comfort level you find.

If you build it – or stitch it, paint it,upcycle it or photograph it – theywill come.Etsy has provided an online market-

place not only for shoppers looking tobuy, but crafters, artisans and col-lectors hoping to sell almost anythingand everything.

According to etsy.com, the site wasconceived in early 2005 by Rob Kalin,a painter, carpenter and photographerwho found there was “no viable mar-ketplace to exhibit and sell his cre-ations online.”

Christin Berry of Hebron, owner ofBlue Martini Photography, uses Etsyto sell canvas wraps based off subwaysigns, personalized with descriptionsof a couple, family or even a child – a“nice side hobby” to her main photog-raphy business.

For example, Berry said she in-corporates it into family sessions forpeople looking for “something moreunique to give as gifts. I show themmy Etsy card so they can go online andsee the different examples.”

She gets customers from all overthe country.

“That’s the great thing about Etsy,”she said. “Once you put in the key-words, you can get anyone from any-where. It’s not so much just local.”

While some people may be hesitantto use small businesses, “I think placeslike Etsy and Pinterest can really helpget your name out there,” said Berry.“People who have small businesses aretalented. They’re extraordinary peoplewho are putting themselves out thereand I think the Internet helps bringpeople together.”

LaurenMira, a mixed media artistfrom Florence and owner of MixieStudio, has been an Etsy user since2009. When she first started using thesite, she sold her handmade jewelry.

Following the birth of her daughtershe took a break, but a little more than

a year ago she opened up shop again,this time selling hand-embroideredmagnets.

“It’s kind of like a miniature artpiece, but it’s also functional to put onyour fridge.”

For those starting out, Mira saidEtsy is “an easy, go-to place,” to havepeople go. Those looking to buy caneasily access the site.

“It’s the Internet,” she said of thesite. “Anybody who can access theInternet can access your shop. And ifyou’re out of town and you want tonetwork, you can give them your busi-ness card that has Etsy on it.”

She also promotes her workthrough social media.

Though it may look easy, Mira saida lot of work is involved in making anEtsy store viable – from photograph-ing the goods, thinking about the de-scription details, even listing the ma-terials and the look of the shop itself.

The effort, though, is still worth it.“It’s a way to expose your work to

the world. It’s a step to figuring outwhat kind of business or what kind ofstyle you want.”

Etsy, Mira said, is “a perfect place”for those beginners starting to selltheir creations.

“I think it’s a good foot in the doorand to get you thinking about how youwant to sell it, how you want to priceit, how you want it to be perceived bypeople.”

Mira said goods sold on Etsy are“pretty much handmade or vintage,”things that can’t be found elsewhere.

“There’s a lot of unique things youcan find on Etsy without having toleave your house.”

Etsy, the site reads, boasts morethan 20 million members and the siteaverages more than 1.4 billion pageviews and 42 million unique visitorsmonthly. Featuring more than 800,000active shops, Etsy has more than 17million listed items as well as 1.7 mil-lion Twitter followers and a millionFacebook “likes.”

JANUARY 24, 2013 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • B3LIFE

For the past severaldays, I’ve been testingrecipes for classic stews,including chicken fricas-see and beef bourgui-gnon. I’m in the tweak-ing stage for a beef stewthat has an olive butterswirl in it. When it getsto the “oh my gosh this isperfect” stage, I’ll be onehappy cook. Meanwhile,

your re-questshave beenfor any-thing butlong-cook-ing, gour-met food. Iagree it’sgood tohave mealsthat arequick,appealing

and not budget-busting.Here’s some to try.

Quick sloppy JoesFor the mom who

wanted to make a barbe-cue-type sandwich forher preschooler butdidn’t want somethingreal spicy. This freezeswell. This is good onslider buns topped withslaw for Super Bowlparties as well. Or put ina fondue pot and servewith Frito scoops ortortilla chips.

1 pound lean ground beef1⁄4 cup diced onion or moreto taste

1 diced bell pepper(optional)

12 oz. bottle chili sauceBrown sugar to taste: Startwith 3 tablespoons andgo from there

Sauté beef, onion andbell pepper until beef is

cooked. Add remainingingredients. Bring to agentle boil, lower to asimmer for a few min-utes.

Ellen’s orzo-roniEllen Mueller is my

Greek cooking buddy atJungle Jim’s. We teachLebanese/Greek menustogether and joke thatour moms and aunts areup in heaven arguingabout whose food is bet-ter. Here’s a comfortingpasta dish that Ellensays her girls, Maggieand Alex, ask for on aregular basis. “Betterthan the boxed stuff,”she told me. Orzo is rice-shaped pasta sometimescalled rosemarina.1⁄4 cup butter1 small onion, finely diced1 garlic clove, minced4 oz. sliced creminimushrooms

1 cup orzo4 oz. spaghetti broken intothirds

4 cups low sodium chickenbroth

3 tablespoons chopped

parsleySalt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in skillet.Add onion and sautéuntil translucent. Addgarlic and cook anotherminute. Add mushroomsand cook until soft andjuices have released.Add orzo and spaghettiand coat well with butter.Add broth, stir, bring toboil. Cover and reduce tosimmer. Simmer 15 min-utes or until most ofliquid is absorbed. Addparsley and season. Ellensays it will be a littlesaucy, which is what youwant.

Blender bananabread

This is the most moistand delicious bananabread I’ve made in a longtime. I have a “tasteslike Bob Evans” bananabread recipe on my blog(Cincinnati.Com/blogs)that uses half as muchbutter as oil, along withbuttermilk, and that’s agood one, too. The onething I will tell you,

though, is for any bananabread to taste good, thebananas have to be real-ly ripe, like black-speck-led ripe, for the bread tohave a good, sweet ba-nana flavor. If you don’thave a blender, you cando this by hand.

3 very ripe bananas whirledin blender to make 1 cuppuree

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

Little bit of sugar forsprinkling on top(optional)

Brush a loaf pan withsoft butter or spray withcooking spray. Preheatoven to 350 degrees. Topuree in blender add oil,eggs and vanilla. Whirluntil blended. Whiskflour, sugar, soda, saltand nuts together inbowl. Pour banana mix-ture over dry ingredi-ents and mix just untilblended. Don’t over mix.Pour into pan, sprinklewith extra sugar, andbake 45 minutes or sountil center springs backwhen lightly pressed.

Cool on rack a few min-utes before removingfrom pan.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Refrigerate or freezeripe bananas! The skinwill turn black, but in-side will be creamy yel-low. Mix nuts with flourmixture so they staysuspended in your bakedgoods and don’t sink tothe bottom.

Levi said she had longconsidered an additionalprogramcloser toCoving-ton for her clients’ conve-nience, and there wasavailable space at Peter-son’s husband’s church,The Pointe.

“Our church philoso-phy is to do thingsthroughout the communi-ty, different types of pro-

jects,” Peterson said “ThePointe is not a church thatis open only on Sundays.”

While the center isgeared toward elemen-tary, middle and highschoolers, programs areoffered for college stu-dents and adults, in addi-tion to professional andstandardized testingpreparation, all providedon an individual basis .

A full list of programsis available online athttp://bit.ly/Ue13pB.

“I run the center fromthe teacher’s viewpointfor what the kids needright then. It’s going toevolve based on what’sneeded,” said Levi. “It’svery important to know

that we’re not there tocompete with teachersand schools. We’re thereto support what they’redoing in order to help stu-dents.”

Peterson said the cen-ter offers flexible hours,usually after school, butalso provides enrichmentprograms for home-schoolers including lan-guagesanddrama, aswellas extra help in core sub-jects.

“The best part aboutthis tutoring center is thatthe student is very muchaffirmed,” said Peterson.“It’s not about learningfacts and figures, it’s real-lyabout serving thewholestudent.”

Levi agreed.“It’s so important to

build confidence; that hasto be there first. If confi-dence goes up, skills goup,” she said.
