COLLEGE CORNERScholars from Fort Mitchell,Edgewood and CrestviewHills make the dean’s list.A4

BURLINGTON — Snowbound,with time and energy to spare,Chad Caddell put his creativityto work for the community.

Caddell, a drama teacherwho struck a chord with his“Snowhemian Rhapsody” videofor Stephens Elementary lastyear, decided to start a 2015“Freeze Your Butt, CoverTheirs” Challenge to raiseawareness and funds for Life-line Ministries of NorthernKentucky.

Lifeline Ministries is locatedat 4115 Dixie Hwy., Elsmere.More information can be foundonline at lifelineofnky.org.

“We’ve been out for a fewdays. Everything you hear is thewhite death, snowmageddon,and we all have cabin fever,” hesaid.

“So I thought, what if we canuse this day to do somethinggood and bless Lifeline Minis-tries with our support?”

Caddell made a new video,challenging others to play in thesnow while wearing shorts orswimsuits, to spread the word

about Lifeline Ministries anddonate money they would havespent on lunches this week atwork to the organization.

“We’re just trying to dosomething connected to thesnow, because that’s the themeof everyone’s life right now,”

Caddell said. “It is out of the box,” said

Chris Caddell, Chad’s brotherand founder of Lifeline Minis-tries of Northern Kentucky.

“I love the creativity of it,”Chris Caddell said. “You canonly play so many board games

and card games. People are athome, bored out of their minds,and spending a lot of time onFacebook and other socialmedia. He leveraged this timeand weather for our benefit.”

People have been postingtheir challenge videos to Chad

Caddell’s Facebook page, anddonations are also coming in.

“We are really getting someawesome feedback. We’ve gar-nered a donor base and aware-ness we didn’t have before,”said Chris Caddell.

Chris Caddell and his wife,Eleni, started Lifeline Minis-tries 10 years ago, with the in-tention of providing more thanmaterial support for those inneed.

“We want to share God’s lovein a tangible way, regardless oftheir walk of life and whatthey’re dealing with,” saidChris Caddell. “For all theseyears, we have provided food,household goods, financial sup-port and understanding for peo-ple in a non-denominationalway, and we’ve done it with vol-unteer staff.”

He said the organization’soverhead costs are low, due todonations, and their expensesare minimal, for printing forms,driving delivery trucks and pro-viding food for the growingnumbers of people they serve.

When winter becomes bitterly cold and peoplecan’t stand being outside, even for the brief time ittakes to sprint from their warm car to their warmhouse, Ella Kluemper thinks about those whodon’t have any place to live.

On a snowy morning in the first week of Febru-ary, the 11-year-old and her father left their homein Fort Wright. They were headed to the ParishKitchen, an organization in Covington that hasbeen providing food to the hungry for the past 40years.

Their goal was to donate 13 sleeping bags, 18pairs of gloves, and 81 pairs of socks that Ella hadcollected from friends and family.

“I’m so impressed that for such a young person,she would be so concerned about the homeless andthe poor,” shared Dan Nolan, Parish Kitchen di-rector.

Her good works began four years ago, whenshe was only 8.

“I saw homeless people on the street,” she re-called. “And I wanted to do something to help.”

Together with her family she made sandwichesin their kitchen, then stuffed them into bags alongwith a bottle of water and some treats.

“We put them in the car and handed them outwhenever we saw somebody on the streets,” herfather, Ted Kluemper, explained.

TAYLOR MILL — A third cam-pus for Lakeside ChristianChurch is expected to open thisfall on Taylor Mill Road.

The church, based at 195 But-termilk Pike in Lakeside Park,opened a second campus at 1980North Bend Road in Hebron inDecember 2013. A new locationat 5300 Taylor Mill Road, theformer site of Hilltop ChristianChurch, will become home tothe congregation’s newest cam-pus.

For more information aboutLakeside Christian Church, vis-it www.lakeside.org.

“The building is going to beremodeled before we start hold-ing services there,” said EricaRonnebaum, Lakeside Chris-

tian Church’s communicationsand public relations director.

Sunday services on the maincampus still draw an average of1,800 visitors each week, andthe Hebron campus averagesabout 800.

“We draw from all overNorthern Kentucky,” said Ron-nebaum. “Even from ColdSpring and Alexandria. Lots ofpeople come from Independ-ence, so we expect we’ll seeplenty of people from down[Hwy.] 16 and 17.”

Ronnebaum said the churchhad been hoping to expand fur-ther east after the Hebron cam-pus provided a more western lo-cation, and the Hilltop locationwas presented to them for con-sideration.

The Hilltop congregationwas hovering around 40 peopleeach week, and the church onlyhad one staff person, who wasthe minister.

“They liked what we do in thecommunity, and reached out tosee if we could take over,” saidRonnebaum. “It was a nice, easy

little transaction and we tookownership on Jan. 1. We’re veryexcited.”

Ronnebaum said some of thechurch’s business is handledthrough the main location, buteach campus has its own pastor.

Shamus Staubach, who hasserved as Lakeside’s highschool pastor, was named theTaylor Mill location’s campuspastor.

While Staubach will handlethe day-to-day requests of Tay-lor Mill’s campus, Lakeside’smain pastor Jamie Snyder willpresent the sermon each week.

“Taylor Mill and Hebron arevideo venues,” said Ronne-baum. “He’s on these really nicelarger-than-life screens, and itlooks very much like he’s there,but it’s a video.”

Music and welcoming infor-

mation are conducted live ateach service, but only Snyder’ssermon is recorded for the oth-er campuses.

Staubach is a Cincinnati na-tive with a degree from Cincin-nati Bible College, and he hasbeen on Lakeside’s staff for 10years.

“I’m looking forward to con-tinuing to partner with familiesin Northern Kentucky, not onlyworking with our high schoolstudents, but their families, andto do that on a broader scale,” hesaid. “The rich history and tra-dition of Lakeside of being sucha strong presence in the com-munity, we’re excited to takethat reputation to a new commu-nity and do all the things Lake-side has become known for.”

The former Hilltop Christian Churchin Taylor Mill will open this fall asLakeside Christian Church’s newestcampus.

INDEPENDENCE —When you’re the parent ofa child who has autism, itcan be difficult to find awelcoming place the en-tire family can enjoy.

That’s changing in In-dependence as the Wil-liam E. Durr Branch ofthe Kenton County PublicLibrary is offering a newprogram, Sensory OpenPlay.

The new offering fea-tures a variety of toys andequipment specificallymade to engage childrenwho have autism. Theequipment includes a bal-ance beam, swing, crashmat, a walk-on musical pi-ano and much more. Theprogram is offered for

several hours at varyingtimes to attract new andreturning patrons.

“My son has autism soI’m sensitive to the needof parents who want totake their kids to places

where they are engagedand have learning oppor-tunities,” said Paul Du-ryea, the branch manager.“It’s also a time for par-ents who are dealing withsimilar circumstances op-portunities to connect andinteract.”

Duryea said he hopesthe program will make thelibrary a place where thechildren of these familiesfeel comfortable and willwant to visit.

“The library is a placefor everybody,” he said.“Our intent is to provideservices to everyone. Thespecial needs communitysometimes goes under-served. We’re trying tochange that, especially asmore and more childrenare diagnosed with au-tism.”

Christina Turner’s 3-year-old son, William, isone of those children. Tur-ner said she is grateful thelibrary is offering Senso-ry Open Play. William, shesaid, had a blast at the in-troduction program heldlast January.

“It is difficult to findprograms in the NorthernKentucky area for autis-tic children,” she said.

Turner is also hosting asupport group for moth-ers who have childrenwith autism that will meetat the library. For infor-mation on the supportgroup, contact Turner [email protected].

When I woke up this morning, 5more inches of snow had fallen,making a total of 11 inches in 48

hours.It had piled up at

the base of the kitch-en door again so Ihad to literally shovethe door open to letmyself out. The tem-perature gauge read9 below, so I knew itwas a perfect day forhomemade beefstew: Mary Helen’sclassic beef stew.

Mary Helen was my best friendCarol Spry Vanover’s mom. Whenwe were kids, Carol loved to eat at

my house since there were somany of us and mom would serveher Lebanese food straight fromthe cast iron pot.

Conversely, I enjoyed going toCarol’s house since the food waspresented elegantly at the tablewith cloth napkins and so muchsilverware I didn’t know what forkto pick up when. Carol’s mom wasthe most gourmet cook around.

Little did I know that one of herbest creations, like this stew, wasquicker and easier than some ofmy mom’s Lebanese offerings.

Indoor plant bonus: Naturalhumidifiers

I over winter some tender herbsnear my houseplants.

I’ve learned that indoor plantsnot only help put oxygen in the airduring the day, they help humidifyindoor air since plants releasemoisture through their leaves.

Houseplants also emit sub-stances that suppress mold sporesand bacteria.

Snowy days perfect for beef stew

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

A classic beef stew is perfect for a frigid day.

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Mary Helen’s classic French beef oven stew

Even though I’ve made numerous versions of classic beefstew that were delicious, none were as quick as this and really,the taste of this stew is outstanding.

Here’s the recipe with my adaptations. I used my Le Creu-set enameled cast iron pot.

Just make sure your pot and lid are ovenproof.

2 pounds beef, cut in 1-1/2-inch cubes (I used a generous 2pounds and bought stew beef already cut up)

2 medium onions, chopped, about 3 cups1 large clove garlic, minced – my addition which is

optional (Mary Helen did not add garlic)3 ribs celery, cut up4 medium carrots cut crosswise and then lengthwise1-1/4 cups tomato juice (I didn’t have any so used one can

beef broth mixed with 1 generous tablespoon tomatopaste)

1/3 cup quick/instant cooking tapiocaSalt and pepper to taste1/2 teaspoon dried basil2 medium red potatoes, chunked up (I used 3 Yukon

gold)

Preheat oven to 300-325. Pour a thin film of oil in bottomof pot. Put beef in and then everything else except potatoes.Give it a stir. Cover and cook a total of 3-3/12 hours, until meatis tender but remember to add potatoes during last hour ofcooking. (I forgot to add potatoes so cooked them separatelyand added to stew after it was done.) Good with mashedpotatoes, too. If stew is too thick, add a bit of hot water.

Tip from Rita: Stir some frozen, thawed peas in at theend.

To cook in crockpot: 8-12 hours on low, 4-6 on high.Add potatoes at beginning of cooking time.

Soothing lemon tea

Good for sore throats and colds or anytime you need apick-me-up. Lemons are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and loadedwith vitamin C for immune system health. Honey is a tradi-tional remedy for sore throats.

Stir together:

Juice of 1 lemon1 cup of very warm waterHoney to taste

Tip: Freeze lemons/limes whole.Just thaw, and you’ll get lots of juice.

Ask your senator tosupport syringeexchange program

The Kentucky Senate seemsto be on the verge of looking asstupid as Speaker Greg Stumbodid last year when he took SB 5(the anti-heroin bill) whichpassed the Senate and junked itup at the last minute killing it.

This year, Senator Schickeland the right wingers in the Sen-ate are refusing to pass thisyear’s anti-heroin bill (alsocalled SB 5) because it containsa clause permitting local healthdistricts to set up syringe ex-change programs. Syringe pro-grams work.

I encourage the people inNorthern Kentucky to get onthe phone to Senator Schickeland the other opponents of sy-ringe exchange programs andstrongly encourage them tosupport and pass SB 5.

• Among the professionals,the program is called the Sy-ringe Exchange Program (SEP)because the entire syringe, in-cluding the needle, has to beturned in.

• The program works be-cause it gives value to the sy-ringe. Addicts will keep themand turn them in instead of just

throwing them away. That pro-tects children and first re-sponders.

• The SEP program has itsown rules which the addictshave to comply with. Beforethey get new syringes, they un-dergo an examination and anyinfected needle puncturewounds are cleaned and treat-ed, the addicts are tested forhepatitis C and HIV, and the ad-dicts are given counseling ondrug treatment programs to tryand get them off of the drugs.

• Naloxone inhalers are dis-tributed by the SEP centers foruse by the addict and/or familymembers. Note: as of early Feb-ruary 2015 there have been 25“saves” in Northern Kentuckywith Naloxone since it has beenavailable here (meaning Nalox-one was used by first respond-ers, ER’s or friends to bringback addicts from near deathoverdoses).

• Addicts going to the SEP lo-cations are demonstrating thatthey want help. Give it to them.

• One out of three (30 per-cent) police officers have beenstuck by needles carried by ad-dicts or found on the street.Think of their safety.

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your ideal place or wayto escape the winter weather?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

Over the last months, muchhas been said about some ofKentucky’s public infrastruc-ture. Sadly, much of this ismired in parochial views andshortsightedness. This is notonly counterproductive butnonsensical.

Let me give you an example.A few weeks ago a readerwrote in to state that since theairport was built in Kentuckywith taxpayer funds from Ken-tucky, and Cincinnati (actuallyBlue Ash) didn’t want an air-port about 80 years ago, theOhioans should put up and shutup. However, most patrons ofCVG airport are from areasoutside Northern Kentucky.

The FAA (a federal author-ity) not only oversees opera-tions, but also distributes fed-

eral fundswhere appro-priate. So,while the air-port is inNorthern Ken-tucky, withoutflyers fromOhio, IndianaAND Ken-tucky, as wellas federalfunds, it wouldnot operate.

The premise that only Ken-tuckians should have a say inthe airport is like Macy’s say-ing only people from Cincin-nati should have a say in therunning of the company, sinceits headquarters is here. With-out customers from the entirenation, there would be no Ma-

cy’s. Without diverse manage-ment, Macy’s would hardly bethe powerhouse retailer it istoday.

Having a homogeneous,local board without outsidediversity will do little to makeCVG a major player in theinternational – or even national– transportation arena. When itcomes to infrastructure we alluse, we all get a say.

As for the Brent SpenceBridge, it is owned by Ken-tucky. Kentucky clearly doesnot want to pay for a new one.Ohio offered to help, but Gov.Kasich was told to apologize (!)among other things, by theNKY luminaries. But the onlyway to complete the bridge ispaying for it. This fact seemsto escape Tea Party folks on

both side of the bridge, as wellas conveniently myopic legis-lators of all stripes.

For what it is worth, thosethat use it, me included, shouldpay for the bridge. The fairestway to do that is a toll system.Any other general tax wouldmake the little old lady livingin Delhi who will never gofurther than downtown, payfor something she does use.That would be truly unfair. Thenation is full of toll bridges andtoll roads that are adequatelymaintained. And people – users– pay the tolls. People who usethe roads, but don’t want to payfor them, are part of an in-creasing minority that wantthe state to provide them withinfrastructure, education andsafety, but want someone else –

like the little old lady fromDelhi – to pay for them.

I for one am getting tired ofthis nonsense. We are part of asociety, and as such haveformed a “social contract” asLocke defined it in the 18thcentury. We live in compara-tive safety, with an infrastruc-ture of roads and utilities. Inorder to live in this way, wegive up certain “rights,” andchoose to abide by laws andpay taxes so that our societycan continue to thrive. Don’twant to live by these rules?Somalia or Sudan beckon you.Using CVG as a starting point,of course.

When it comes to applyingfor outside college scholar-ships, February through Juneare still great months for sen-iors to find opportunities. Anoutside scholarship is anyscholarship not awarded by thegovernment or the school, suchas a scholarship provided by aprivate sector company, philan-thropist or foundation.

But in order to have anychance of receiving any ofthese free dollars, a studentmust know: when to take ac-tion, what it takes to qualify,and where to look.

When should a student takeaction? For seniors the answeris now because time is of theessence. Spring break is justaround the corner and beforeyou know it, Graduation Daywill be here. If a student ishoping to put any outside schol-arship dollars on the table, thenshe or he must complete theirapplications and get everythingsubmitted ASAP. Every stu-dent, regardless of grade levelor age, should look for outsidecollege scholarships to help

reduce thecost of college.It’s never tooearly to startyour search.

What doesit take to qual-ify for theseoutside schol-arships? Theanswer de-pends on whatthe donor islooking for in

a winner: maybe it’s financialneed, academic success, aspecial talent, a hook, greatathlete, terrific essay writer,etc. If you have what they arelooking for then let the fun ofapplying for scholarships be-gin. You may be surprised bythe number of unique outsidescholarship opportunities thatexist so do not give up easily.

Where do you find outsidecollege scholarships? The an-swer might be as close as yourown parents. Ask them if theircompany gives out a schol-arship, check with your churchor club, maybe the company

with which you have a part-time job gives out a schol-arship (Chick-fil-A and Soniccome to mind).

Many high school guidancecounselors list scholarshipopportunities on their schoolwebsite. In addition, there are anumber of other great schol-arship search engines. Hereare a few of my favorites:fastweb.com,scholarshipexperts.com,tuitionfundingsources.com, andcappex.com.

Bottom-line: In order to getany scholarship dollars, stu-dents must meet the requiredcriteria and be willing to takeaction. Why not consider this apart-time job? Make searchingfor and submitting scholarshipapplications a part of yourweekly routine. And whoknows, your hard work couldpay off in a big way. Best ofluck!

Do you use and/or storehazardous chemicals at yourbusiness?

This is your gentle remind-er that it’s time to registerwhat you have there with yourregion’s local EmergencyPlanning Committee, an all-volunteer group that keepstrack of all hazmat in an areaas is required by federal lawsand regulations. The deadlineto register is March 1.

I happen to be chairman ofthe Northern Kentucky Emer-gency Planning Committeecovering Boone, Campbell andKenton counties. But there aresimilar agencies in HamiltonCounty as well as Butler, Cler-mont and Warren counties.

Why is this important?Well, imagine if you had anaccident at your site. Wouldn’tyou want your first respond-ers to know what you havethere? And how to get to it andwhat the best way to eitherput out a chemical fire ordispose of the materials?

That in essence is our mis-sion at NKEPC as well at otherLEPCs. We collect all thosematerial manifests from allthe hazardous material han-dlers in the area, and make

sure that allour first re-spondersknow what’sthere quicklyin case of anaccident.

And notonly is it theright thing todo, it’s thelaw.

The Emer-gency Plan-

ning and Community Right-to-Know Act requires all facil-ities that are subject to thatlaw to submit chemical inven-tory reports (also called Tier2Reports) using the Tier2 Sub-mit Program. This year’s re-port is due on or before March1, 2015.

In Kentucky, any businessthat previously filed shouldhave received a reminderletter from the KentuckyEmergency Response Com-mission this year. Facilitiesfile electronically as Ken-tucky requires the use of theEPA Tier 2 Submit Program.

The program is availablefree at http://bit.ly/EPATier2 .Additional information in-cluding reporting forms and

contacts for assistance can befound at:http://bit.ly/SARATitleIII.

Other departments andstates have similar processes,so check with your county’sLEPC.

And if you have any ques-tions or doubts as to whetheryou are covered by the lawand haven’t before filed areport, it’s better to be safethan sorry and check it out.You can contact us throughour recently redesigned web-site www.nkepc.org. Thereyou can get more informationon Tier2 filing and require-ments.

Again, it’s better to be safethan sorry. Your business andemployees as well as the com-munity at large and their firstresponders are counting onyou.

Rodney Bell is the chairman of theNorthern Kentucky EmergencyPlanning Committee, which over-sees hazardous material accidentplanning and inventory tracking forBoone, Campbell and Kenton Coun-ties. He is also the safety managerat Northern Kentucky’s SanitationDistrict No. 1.

FORT MITCHEL — Chris Ko-nerman missed high schoolswimming so much that hejumped at the chance to takeover the Beechwood HighSchool swimming program lastyear.

The new head coach, whowas Ryle’s first head coach inthe 1990’s, has been a club coachfor 35 years and is looking for-ward to helping his Tigers chaseKHSAA state championships.The state meet is Feb. 26-28 atthe University of Louisville.

“I was eager to get back intocoaching and fortunately land-ed at Beechwood,” Konermansaid. “I missed it. It’s been awhile since I’ve been involvedin high school coaching. I have agreat support staff, the athleticdirector and principal are greatto work with.”

Senior Austin Haney leadsthe way for the Tigers. He wonthe 200 freestyle in 1:41.23,which gave him the top seed inthe state based on everyone’s

regional times in the field. Thattime was 0.45 seconds off thetwo-year old regional recordfrom former Covington Catho-lic standout Max Williamson.Haney finished second in the re-gion in the 100 breaststroke in58.32 and is seeded third.

“He’s looking really good andhe’s rested for the upcomingstate meet,” Konerman said.“He had a really good regionalmeet and I was very impressedwith his performance. Him be-ing a senior and being downthere before and seeing the typeof athlete he is. I expect he’lldrop his time even further andI’m hopeful he’ll have a reallygood state meet.”

Several Beechwood girlsqualified for state.

Sophomore Mollie Bushel-man finished third in the regionin the 200 individual medley andis seeded 11th. She is also seeded11th in the breaststroke afterplacing second.

Jordan Carman also quali-fied in the 200 IM, and is seeded20th after finishing fifth at re-gionals. And the breaststroke,

where she finished third toBushelman and is seeded 13th.

Sophomore Bray Zimmer-man is seeded 15th in the 50 free-style and finished second at re-gionals. She is seeded in the 100freestyle after placing third.

Abby Shoyat finished sixthin regionals in the 50 freestyleand is seeded 23rd, and she fin-ished eighth in the 100 butterflyand is seeded 29th.

The girls 200 freestyle relayfinished second in regionals andis seeded eighth. The 200 med-ley relay is also seeded eighthafter placing second as well.Shoyat, Zimmerman, Bushel-man and Carman teamed up forboth relays in the regional meet.

Eighth-grader CarolineSchilling is seeded 12th in divingand finished fifth at regionals.Abby Miller is seeded 22nd andfinished eighth.

“They had a really good re-gional final meet,” Konermansaid. “They dropped a lot oftime. I don’t see why they can’tcontinue to drop. They’re all

ERLANGER — With all thewinter wackiness of the week.Connor Kunstek and the otherseniors on the St. Henry DistrictHigh School boys basketballteam were just happy to get onelast regular-season game in.

Kunstek and the Crusadersmade the most of it, winning atHoly Cross 77-60 Feb. 20 andspoiling the Indians’ seniornight. Holy Cross paid tribute tothe Crusader seniors before thegame as well.

“It was a big win for us, espe-cially being their senior night,”Kunstek said. “I’m really gladhow we performed.”

St. Henry won its 18th gameand entered the 34th DistrictTournament with an 18-11 rec-ord. The Crusaders prepared toface Lloyd in the semifinalsFeb. 24, with the winner advanc-ing to the district finals 8:15 p.m.Friday at Villa Madonna. Thewinner of St. Henry/Lloyd alsoadvances to the Ninth Regiontournament.

“They all get along. Theyplay well together. They’re veryunselfish on the floor,” St. Hen-ry head coach David Faust said.“It took us a while but we’re fi-nally getting going.”

St. Henry has seven seniorsoverall but many of them havebeen battling injuries. GuardEvan Lyons is out for the rest ofthe season and guard LoganKenney may return for the dis-

trict tournament. They are thetop two point guards on the ros-ter and senior guard NathanMyers is also banged up headinginto postseason.

“We played well (against Ho-ly Cross),” said Faust. “It’s notan easy place to play. We strug-gled with them the first time. Wewere patient on offense.”

Kunstek scored 12 of hisgame-high 22 points in the firstquarter, which ended with St.Henry up 26-17. A tall, stocky in-side presence, Kunstek con-trolled the paint for the team.

“There was a lot of stuff go-ing on (with senior night),” hesaid. “It’s all about staying fo-cused and keeping your head inthe game.”

Kunstek has done that allyear.

“He gives us an inside pres-ence,” Faust said. “He’s a load inthere. He’s awfully strong. He’shard to handle. The good thingabout Connor is that he can alsostep out and shoot from the out-side.”

Kunstek and junior guardAdam Goetz, who had 20 pointsagainst Holy Cross, are return-ing starters for the Crusaders,and senior forward Paul Greencame off the bench last year.The rest of the rotation is newvarsity contributors this season.

“We’re all good friends onand off the court. We have eachother’s backs,” Kunstek said.

While Beechwood, likeeveryone else, has hadpractices canceled by thisweek’s winter weather,Konerman is looking for-ward to the atmosphere ofthe Kentucky state meet.

Thomas More Collegeended three weeks of un-certainty this week whenit named Regis Scafe thefifth head coach in pro-gram history.

“Being without a headcoach was a weird feel-ing,” said junior defen-sive lineman Erick Butler.“We’re ready to get backto work.”

When Jim Hilvert re-signed on Jan. 28 to takethe head coaching job atLa Salle High School, theSaints players werecaught off guard. Theyunderstood Hilvert’s mo-tivations and were happyfor his family-based deci-sion, but had to reevaluatethe direction of their pro-gram.

“It was definitely hard.Coach Hilvert is the big-gest reason most of us areat Thomas More,” said ju-nior quarterback JensenGebhardt. “Once he left,our players stepped up tokeep our team focusedand motivated.”

Scafe is an accom-plished head coach, bestknown for his 14 seasons

as headcoach atJohn Car-roll Uni-versity,where heposted an88-56 rec-ord. Priorto leading

the Blue Streaks, Scafespent five seasons as headcoach at Case Western Re-serve, his alma mater. Heunderstands that he hasbig shoes to fill, as Hilvertled Thomas More to a 67-19 mark and six confer-ence championships ineight seasons in Crest-view Hills.

“It is kind of a uniquesituation that happened.It’s a very rare opportuni-ty to take over a programlike this. It is not a rebuild-ing project,” Scafe said. “Iwasn’t really looking tojump back in. It wouldhave to be a really goodfit, which Thomas Moreis.”

The Cleveland nativedid not leave JCU on hisown terms. He spent aseason coaching lineback-ers at Division II NotreDame College, then spentlast year working with the

International Federationof American Football de-velopment camp in Ar-lington, Texas. The pasttwo years, after his ousterat John Carroll, gaveScafe new perspective.

“Sometimes you stepback and you see thingsdifferently. I feel re-ener-gized and excited,” Scafesaid. “I feel like I’ve gotsome unfinished busi-ness.”

That includes a returnto the Division III play-offs, where the Saintshave not been since 2011and Scafe has not ap-peared since 2002. Scafemet with Thomas Moreplayers during the inter-view process and recipro-cated their enthusiasm.While the players werenot directly involved inthe hiring decision, theyare happy with the ad-ministration’s choice.

“He was extremelypersonable. He reallywanted to get to know usas people,” Butler said.“He showed us that hecares about his players,which is something CoachHilvert did and somethingthat really means a lot tous.”

Scafe

The 56 Northern Ken-tucky wrestlers whoqualified for the KHSAAstate championships arenow experiencing theirown version of “bowl sea-son” in college football.

On the gridiron, foot-ball teams don’t play for amonth before their post-season contest kicks offover the holidays. Localgrapplers are now facing24 days between compet-itive matches after theKHSAA state meet waspostponed to March 10-11.

“I’ve thought about itthat way,” said Newporthead coach Tim Mosleyof the bowl analogy. “Myguys are mentally tough.They face a lot of adver-sity and this is anotherthing to adapt to andovercome. It’s just moretime to make us better.They have a good atti-tude about it.”

The meet was origi-nally scheduled for Fri-day and Saturday, Feb. 20and 21, at Alltech Arena

in Lexington’s KentuckyHorse Park. The nastywinter weather that hasenveloped the wholestate – with many dis-tricts canceling classesfor the entire week as aresult – caused theKHSAA to announce themeet’s postponement onWednesday.

The KHSAA saidMarch 10-11, a Tuesdayand Wednesday, were theearliest dates available atAlltech Arena, which hasother events scheduledthe following two week-ends. The arena alsohosts the Kentucky stateyouth wrestling champi-onships on Sunday, anevent run by the Ken-tucky State WrestlingAssociation and not theKHSAA.

The event is in AlltechArena partly because itsfloor surface can com-fortably hold eightmatches at once, whereits former home of theFrankfort ConventionCenter could only fit six.When the meet was inFrankfort, it was a three-

day event.The delay has its plus-

es and minuses for areacoaches. Like collegefootball teams who get afew extra weeks of prac-tice, Mosley’s Wildcats,who have a school-recordsix state qualifiers, arerelishing the new oppor-tunity to work on theircraft.

Unlike college foot-ball players, though,many wrestlers have oth-er sports to look forwardto as spring practice iswell underway. Manytrack, tennis and baseballteams are having tryoutsnext week and the sea-sons are right around thecorner, with the first datefor regular-season base-ball games March 11, thesame day as the statewrestling finals.

Wrestlers who haven’tqualified for state are al-lowed to practice withthose who did, but manyof them will be preparingfor the new season aswell.

A couple of weeks agoI featured a column aboutbaking ingredients thatfocused on eggs. Our

KentonCountyCoopera-tive Ex-tensionServicerecentlyoffered aclass on,“YourBakingIngredi-ents:

They Make a Difference”with tips from our officeand the Home BakingAssociation.

This week we willcover fats and baking.

Fats coat the strands ofgluten that are formedwhen combining flour andliquid so they won’t com-bine as easily – thus“shortening” the glutenstrands and adding ten-derness and a flakycrumb.

When considering thechoice of fat for a recipe,you have many options.

» Solid Shortening:100 percent fat – less fla-vorful than butter, butgood for flakiness in bis-cuits or other recipeswhere you want a flakyproduct. Also adds goodstructure.

» Butter or marga-rine: 80 percent fat – Addscolor and flavor to a reci-

pe, but will affect thespread, chewiness andcrispness as it has less fatthan solid shortening.Some bakers use a combi-nation of shortening andbutter to lessen spreading.

Should you use saltedor unsalted butter? That’sup to you. One stick ofsalted butter containsapproximately one quar-ter teaspoon of salt. It actsas a preservative. Somebakers prefer unsaltedbutter for baking as youhave control of the salt,and it is considered to be afresher product. Somedon’t like to purchase twotypes of butter, so anotheroption is to use saltedbutter and omit the added

salt in the recipe. Thisshould not be done withyeast bread products assalt works in conjunctionwith the yeast action.

Other shortening op-tions:

» Baking butter withcanola oil: This is formu-lated to not require soft-ening, but bakes like but-ter

» Spreads: Containless than 80 percent fat –these are often not recom-mended for baking. Lookat the label of the productyou are purchasing. Manyproducts that were “mar-garines” years ago arenow “spreads.” They maysay “70 percent vegetablespread” on the label in-stead of margarine, asthey have less fat in them.Many of these productschanged to lessen the fatcontent for consumers.They will produce a dif-ferent product however,as the missing fat is re-placed with mostly waterand often some milk sol-ids. A drop cookie, forexample, that is madewith a “spread” willspread out more than if itwas made with margarineor butter. We do not rec-ommend baking with anyspread with less than 70percent fat or you willfind your product unsatis-factory. Sixty percent orless fat products are great

for topping vegetables,breads or other dishes,but not for baking.

» Tubs: These productscontain even more waterand air and we do notrecommend using forbaking.

» Liquid oil: 100 per-cent fat. Most of us thinkwe won’t use that in bak-ing – it does not hold air sowill not cream with sugar,may produce a greasy ortoo thin cookie. However,it does add tendernesssince it coats flour pro-tein, like solid shorteningand decreases glutenformation. Oil also has aclean taste; sometimes wedon’t want the butterytaste to overpower ourbaked good, but want thetenderness of fat. Ex-amples include brownies,zucchini bread and carrotcake.

Other recommenda-tions for using fat in yourrecipe:

» Room temperaturebutter or margarine isbest for baking, about 67degrees. When your prod-uct is at this temperature,the stick will “give” slight-ly when pressed. At thisstate it takes about threeminutes in a mixer tocream with sugar, whichis the first step of manybaked products. For bestresults, remove the butteror margarine from the

refrigerator about an hourbefore baking.

» To quickly softenbutter, place in a plasticbag and pound flat with arolling pin. It should besufficiently softened inabout five to 10 minutes. Itis not recommended tomicrowave butter or mar-garine to soften, as thisresults in unevenly soft-ened/melted product.Remember, your butter ormargarine can be toowarm and soft for baking.If your fingers will gothrough it easily, it isalmost too soft to pick upor it puddles.

BOONE CAMPBELL KENTON

859.572.2660

A big change is comingto Senior Services ofNorthern Kentucky, andits name is customer ser-vice.

The agency providesvital services for seniorsin the eight counties ofNorthern Kentucky, andaccessing those servicesis getting easier, accord-ing to a SSNK press re-lease. SSNK has a newmanagement team focus-ing on “logistics” – mak-ing sure SSNK’s servicesreach the clients as effi-ciently as possible – andthe agency is adding staffand resources to themeals and transportationprograms.

“We’re putting in newsoftware to track appoint-ments and clients,” saidAndrew Stelter, SSNK di-rector of logistics. An ad-

ditional dispatcher hasbeen hired and new trans-portation vans are beingadded. SSNK will eventu-ally have more than 50 ve-hicles to deliver mealsand transport seniors.

An immediate benefitto clients is a shorter waittime to get an appoint-ment for transportation.Previously, clients wereencouraged to make anappointment three weeksin advance; now appoint-ments can be made threedays before needed. Newsoftware also better coor-dinates the van routeswith client needs, so sen-iors will have less time towait for a ride.

“We’re getting awayfrom paper and embrac-ing the technology of to-day,” said logistics super-visor Paul DiMuzio.

“We’re improving proce-dures to make our ser-vices more efficient.”

Along with the spar-kling new vans, there isstandardized training forSSNK’s meals and trans-portation drivers, as wellas new photo namebadges.

Mandy York, SSNK’stransportation and foodservices manager, saidthe emphasis is continu-ing to treat all SSNK cli-ents with dignity and pro-fessionalism while en-hancing services. That in-cludes ensuring that thesenior meals recipientsare checked on regularly.

“Our Home DeliveredMeal program is really awellness check for our cli-ents,” she said. “That’sone of the most criticalthings. We are ensuring

the well-being of seniors.”York is responsible for

ensuring the quality of themeals SSNK provides,and is working on ways tomake meal selection easi-er and provide more me-nu choices. She is enhanc-ing the payment processand plans to expand thenumber of SSNK’s mealsclients.

As with transportation,the main emphasis withMeals on Wheels is im-proving customer serviceand streamlining opera-tions.

The focus on customerservice is the center of ex-ecutive director Jay VanWinkle’s new vision forSSNK. An excellent “cli-ent experience” is themost important servicethat SSNK offers, and hewants to make that a daily

mission for the agency.Another new emphasis

for the agency is the ex-pansion of SSNK’s volun-teer program, to allow forgreater community in-volvement in fulfilling theagency’s mission. Volun-teers are needed to help ina variety of jobs: Meals on

Wheels and Transporta-tion drivers, office help,and working in the Sen-iors-Only food pantry.

“This is an excitingtime for Senior Services,”said Van Winkle. “There’sa refreshed feeling for thewhole organization.”

SSNK gets major upgrade as itexpands role helping seniors
