Tornado-stricken south Kenton gets $1M grant Exactly one year after torna- does tore apart south Kenton County, state and local leaders gathered with residents and sur- vivors to celebrate the commu- nity’s rebuilding and future im- provements. “A year ago was a bad time for all of us, but today is a good day for us,” said Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arling- haus. “This day is about to get much better,” said Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown. Amid the hugs and hand- shakes of friends and neighbors, Thayer and Arlinghaus an- nounced a $1 million grant to help fund water service to 135 homes in the southern most part of the county. An additional 30 homes would have access, but they chose not to join the ser- vice. The project will install 6.74 miles of water main at a total project cost of $3.4 million to homes along Rich Road, Ky. 177 and Little Cruises Creek Road, as well as Camp, Fontana, Har- bil, Lakeview and Rouse roads. The Community Develop- ment Block Grant, approved Friday by Gov. Steve Beshear, covers about one-third of the project. The grant program is administered by the Depart- ment for Local Government and funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment. To cover the remainder of the project cost, the Northern Ken- tucky Water District expects to combine a loan and grant from the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture and the Department of Ru- ral Development, as well as a homeowner surcharge to sup- ply $2,322,836. Another $50,000 is to be paid by a grant from the Kenton County Fiscal Court. “Modern, quality infrastruc- ture is an imperative to helping our Kentucky communities grow and thrive,” said Beshear in a statement. “Thanks to this new waterline project in Kenton County, residents who have nev- er had access to public water service have the opportunity to get guaranteed safe drinking water in their homes for the first time.” Residents in that area have depended on cisterns, wells and hauled water for household uses and bottled water for consump- tion. Beshear and Thayer flew into Morning View on March 3, 2012, in a helicopter to assess the tornado damage. Thayer said Beshear was unable to attend the anniversary event because he is recuperating from retina surgery, but he felt it was imper- ative for him to come. “I wanted to make sure that the folks who live in southern Kenton County, in the Piner and Fiskburg area, know that their state officials are paying atten- tion to what’s happening here. That we paid attention a year ago, and here we are one year later, and we’re still doing what we can to make sure they’ve got the resources they need to re- build,” Thayer said. “These streets that will be served by this water project were right in the path of the tornado. It was my job to be their voice in Frankfort and to advocate for this funding through Gov. Be- shear, and I want to thank him for agreeing that this money was needed.” In county meetings following the tornado, Fiskburg resident Bill Schneider was vocal about the area’s need for water ser- vice. “I think it’s great news. What’s important to me is fire protection,” he said. “I don’t know if I can bring water from the road to the house, I’ll have to evaluate that, but I’m tickled to have that fire hydrant at the end of the road.” Arlinghaus said he started working on getting the grant funds 2 1 2 years ago, even before he was elected to the county’s highest post. “When I was on Fiscal Court in the ‘90s, it was a big problem getting water lines to the the southern end of Kenton County. In the last 10 years, there’s real- ly been no activity to speak of, just minimal efforts,” he said. “When we first applied, they told us we didn’t qualify. We didn’t fit the formula.

He said the disparitybetween the northernand southern ends of thecounty were unimpor-tant in the aftermath ofthe tornado.

“Something like thisthat occurred affectedevery part of our county,whether you lived in Co-vington or if you livedfar down south, close tothe Pendleton Countyline. This tornadobrought us together. It

TAYLOR MILL — Once aweek for the past fouryears, Tyler Day has de-livered thenews toTaylorMill residents.

The 17-year-old makessure theSouthKentonRe-corder hits readers’ frontporches every Thursday,but he also has the desireto help spread the gospelto people all over theworld.

He has already takentwo mission trips to Mex-ico to help build housesand to talk about hisChristian faith. Now, Dayis planning a voyage toPanama this summer. Hejust needs to earn $3,000to helpmake the trip a re-ality.

Day’s Panama trip isthrough Teen Mania Min-istries’ Global Expedi-tions, www.globalexpedi-tions.com, which aims tohelp teens find their ownpersonal visions by help-ing others. Since1987, theorganization has helpedmore than 65,000 stu-dents minister to morethan 1.2 million people inmore than 60 countriesaround the world.

On this trip, he willsleeping inahammock in-side a makeshift hut in aremote island villagewhile he’s teaching Eng-lishandsharing theBible.He’ll literally be giving itaway, as he already hasmore than 10 Spanishcopies of the Bible to dis-tribute while he’s there.

“The reason I want togo there is to spread thegospel, but also so theycanhaveachance to learnEnglish. Then, they cango to any English-speak-ing country to have a bet-ter life for them and theirfamilies,” Tyler said.

He said he was “very

touched” by the attitudesof the people he workedwith.

“They were so happy,not sad at all, even thoughthey practically had noth-ing,” he said. “If wehelped their neighbor in-stead of them, they werestill happy.”

Helping people comeseasily to Day, accordingto some of the customerson his newspaper route.

“He’s a good kid, andhe’s alwayswilling tohelpothers either in othercountries or right here.They’re always offeringto help us with anythingwe need,” said Jean Zur-borg. She said Day oftenstops to talk to her, or herhusband, Tim, who has

undergone cancer treat-ments for the past year.

“I honestly think it’sadmirable to see theyounger generation getinvolved helping otherswho aren’t as blessed aswe are in this country,”she said. “Life is abouthelping others. It’s not allabout me. It’s not aboutmaterialistic things. It’snot that at all, and he getsthat.”

In addition to his deliv-eryroute,Daysells candybars andhosts carwashesto help raise the moneyfor the trip. Donationscan be made in his nameon theGlobal Expeditionswebsite or mailed to P.O.Box 2000, Garden Valley,Texas, 75771-2000, with

hismissionary identifica-tion number, 2663917.

COVINGTON — Larry Red-man hasn’t always called theEmergency Shelter of North-ern Kentucky home, but he’sthankful for the roof over hishead and those helping pay forit.

Tears welling in his tiredeyes, he spoke to students andrepresentatives from Coving-ton Catholic High School andNotre Dame Academy, there topresent $2,405 to the shelter,about what themoneymeans tohim.

“Without your help, withoutyour contribution I’d be out

there,” Redman said. “I don’twant to be homeless, helpless. Iwant to take care ofmyself, usemyownhands,myown feet andtake care of myself.”

Covington Catholic and No-tre Dame students raised mon-ey for the shelter during a vol-leyball game that took placeduring Catholic Schools Week.They presented themoneyFeb.28.

“We really, really appreciateit,” said shelter director Ra-chaelWinters. “It helps us keepour doors open, helps us withwhat we need to do.”

MeganBeischel, Will Henry,Zach Toebben and Nicole Zem-

brodt represented the schoolsat the presentation and saw theimpact of their donation first-hand.

“You read about this in thepaper,”Henry, of FortMitchell,said. “It’s completely differentseeing it for yourself.”

The immediacy of the dona-tion sparked Beischel, of He-bron’s, interest.

“It’s just really great to see ithappen in our owncommunity,”she said. “A lot of our serviceprojects are far reaching. …Makingan impact ondowntownCovington is something I reallylike.”

INDEPENDENCE — Teach-ers and historians can talkabout the Civil War, displayphotos or show films, but theTraveling Trunk really letsstudents get into history.

The trunk visited KentonElementary inFebruaryat therequestof fourth-grade teach-er Lisa Reynolds. She said shesubmitted her reservation forthe trunk from The Civil WarTrust in Washington D.C. inthe early fall, and althoughwinterweather delayed its ar-rival by a week, her studentswere excited about exploringits contents.

Kyley Phillips said thetrunk and its enclosed activ-ities were “awesomely cool.”

Jacob Faulconer looked atphotos of 10 and 12-year-oldswho were injured, and wasstunned that kids his agefought in the war.

While Tyler Musick triedon a Confederate uniform, hesaid it was “comfortable,” butnothis favoritepartof thepro-ject.

“My favorite part is thebullets. They have all differ-ent types of bullets they usedin the Civil War,” he said.

ForLilyBaker,her favoritepartwas somethingmore per-sonal.

“My favorite part is learn-ing about what the soldiershad when they went on thebattlefield. Being a Christian,learning that they had a pray-er book was really cool,” shesaid.

According toTheCivilWarTrust website,www.civilwar.org, the trunkcan contain uniforms, flags,

hardtack and coffee rations, acanteen, mourning ribbons,reproduction paperwork,maps andmoney, CDs of peri-od music, and a haversackcontainingplaying cards, a tincup, toothbrush, a prayerbook and a a small pouch con-taining needle, thread andbuttons, called a “housewife.”

The site also contains les-son plans for teachers and ac-tivities for students, alongwith historical informationand a list of the organization’sefforts to save Civil War bat-tlefield sites.

CRESCENT SPRINGS — At St.Joseph School, learning historyis not as cool as living it.

Sixth-grade students at theCatholic school stepped into theshoesofhistorical figures, afterresearching their lives andlearning of their accomplish-ments. During the school’s“Wax Museum,” those studentsembodiedtheirfamouscounter-parts to tell their tales.

Jonah Fessler wore a cloakand beret to portray artist andinventor Leonardo da Vinci. Hesaid he chose da Vinci, “Be-causehe’s agreat inventor and Iwant to be an inventor when Igrow up.”

Teacher Maria Kanter saidstudents were able to chooseanyone they felt had “contribut-ed to society” for the annualevent, and that the process cov-ers many different learningabilities.

“They have to research andwrite a speech,memorize it andbe able to perform it in front ofan audience,” she said. “It’s animportant skill to be able tospeak in front of others.”

Lucy Pastura, who re-searched and embodied AmeliaEarhart for the museum, saidshe liked learning about thefamous female pilot, but thatwasn’t her favorite part of theproject.

“I like thecostume,”shesaid.She wore a leather hat, jacketand boots. “Writing the speech

was really hard, but I’m reallyhappy with it. I like telling it.”

Otherstudentspresented thestoriesofJohnF.Kennedy,Shir-ley Temple, Elvis, Bill Gates,Steve Jobs, Wilbur Wright, Sa-cajawea, Vince Lombardi, An-nie Oakley and others.

Blake Helson sported abright orange jumpsuit in hisportrayal of astronaut NeilArmstrong. He’d like to wear areal space suit one day.

“I wanted to learn about thefirst man on themoon,” he said.“I’d like to be an astronaut. Itwould be a fun job.”

The excitement of a regionaltournamentwinwas short-livedfor SimonKentonHighSchool’sboys basketball team. The Pio-neers advanced the Eighth Re-gion semifinal for the first timesince 2007, but will spend thenext few weeks thinking aboutwhat might have been.

After cruising past Emi-nence in the regional quarterfi-nal, 64-33, behind13 points eachfrom Riley Barnes and AndrewSampson, the Pioneers lookedlike the team to beat in theEighth Region.

Oldham County, a team Si-mon Kenton defeated by 14

points in the regular season,awaited the winner of the semi-final matchup between SimonKenton and South Oldham. ThePioneers let an early 13-pointlead slip away, and with it, theirseason. South Oldham held onfor a 72-70 win, then went on todefeatOldhamCounty and earna trip to the state tournament atRupp Arena.

“It’s tough to swallow, espe-cially knowing that OldhamCounty—ateamwebeatearlierthis year — was waiting,” saidhead coach Trent Steiner. “Ourmotto is, ‘no coulda, shoulda,woulda.’ You need to executeandplayashardasyoucanuntilthe clock hits three zeroes.”

Despite the disappointing

end to the season, the Pioneershave plenty of positives to re-flect on from their 19-11 season.The team overcame the loss ofseniors Cody Monson (whomoved in the offseason) andNick Ayers (torn ACL). Severalreturning players gained valu-able experience by playing inthe regional win over Emi-nence.

“Looking back, we had apretty good year,” said Steiner.“Getting experience is always agood thing.”

The Pioneers have won 42games in the past two seasons.The players who will be backnext year have grown accus-tomed to winning. Victory isnow an expectation.

“I think that winning breedswinning,” said Steiner. “Ourplayers expect to step on thecourt and know that they canwin each night.”

The team’s eight seniors —Barnes, Sampson, Ayers, JaredBowling, Trevor Montgomery,Drew Reckner, Jared Swanson,and Brandon Yanke — will bemissed. Four of them haveplayed four years on the varsitysquad. Barnes, whose olderbrotherplayed for thePioneers,grew up as part of the Pioneersbasketball program.

“We spent a lot of time to-gether,” said Steiner of his de-parting senior class. “They leftan example for our underclass-men.”

Theseniorskeptbattlingandheld the season together whenAyers was lost for the year andBarnes missed eight gameswith an injury. While the finaldefeat is still a fresh wound,someday the players will lookback and remember being thefirst team in six years to win aregional tournament game. Itwas the seniors’ everyday ef-fort that propelled the team for-ward.

“I always ask our seniors,‘what legacy do you want toleave?’” saidSteiner. “Their leg-acy is the hard work and deter-mination that theybroughteachday. Our seniors are winners inthe classroom, in the communi-ty, and on the basketball court.”

COVINGTON — After losingthe 35th District final on a half-court shot from CovingtonCatholic junior Nick Ruthsatz,the Holmes boys basketballteam had the toughest road inthe Ninth Region Tournament.

TheBulldogswonall three oftheir games in the regional by acombined eight points over re-gional powers Newport CentralCatholic, Cooper and CovCath.The final game was a 62-60 winover the rival Colonels March 3at theBank ofKentuckyCenter.

Holmes was set to play Plea-sure Ridge Park in the firstround of the Sweet 16 Wednes-day, March 6, after Recorderprint deadlines at Rupp Arena.Holmes would play at noon Fri-day with a win.

“We didn’t want to just wintheregion,wewant togowin thenext game also,” said seniorguard Daquan Palmer. “We’renota teamthat justwants tostaydown there one day. The 2009team won state and that’s whatwe want to do.”

HeadcoachJasonBooher ledShelbyValleyto the2010state ti-tle before coming to Holmes.

“Itwasatotal teameffortandwe’re ecstatic to go back toRupp Arena,” he said, “We’rethe last team to finish up the re-gional tournament and we playin the first session Wednesday.

It’s a quick turnaround and wehave to get ready.”

In front of 6,235 fans atNKU,theBulldogsandColonelsputonan epic final with many swingsof momentum.

Cov Cath led by 11 in the sec-ond quarter, 26-15, but Holmescontrolled the next 16 minutes,leading 53-44 early in the fourthquarter.

CovCath got within one pointseveral times down the stretchand missed two mid-rangejumpers in the final minute.

“Defense,”Palmersaid. “Thefirst things we had on the boardin the scouting report were de-fense and rebounding. That’swhat we did tonight. The lastfew seconds, that’s all we had todo was rebound...It feels great.

The last two years, the firstround, we were done. We knewif we got out of the first round,we would do something big.”

Sophomore point guardJames Bolden had 26 points andwas offered a scholarship thenext morning by Xavier headcoach Chris Mack, who had afront-row seat at NKU in the re-gional final.

Bolden fouled out with lessthan three minutes to go.

“It was hard,” Bolden said. “Ishedafewtearsoverthere,butIknew my team had the tough-ness to pull it off. KeyontaeHerndon hit big free throws atthe end. Quinton Chames justrebounded like amanandhegota big block for us at the end.”

Herndon, a junior, had notplayed at all until Bolden’s exit,but made three of four freethrows down the stretch.

“I told theguysbefore:Some-times a guy doesn’t play in theregional tournament or only afew seconds and has to go outthere and knock down shots atthe end, and that’s exactly whathappened,” Booher said.

Palmer had11points andB.J.Coston had10. Each had three 3-point baskets. Chames had 10points and eight rebounds.Palmer, Holmes’ starting pointguard the previous two years,also had four assists. The Bull-dogs were also without centerChris Englemon in the fourthquarter after he fouled out.

MAYSVILLE — The Scottboys basketball team finishedone game short of the Sweet16, but the Eagles were happywith the progress they made.

Scott lost 68-37 to Montgo-mery County March 2 in the10thRegion final, finishing theseason16-15. Itwas theEagles’first time in the10thRegion fi-nal in their eight years in theregion.

Senior forward Nick Jack-son finished the year averag-ingmore than16points agameand became part of the 1,000-point club during Scott’s 37thDistrict trip.

“It feels great,” Jacksonsaid after Scott’s win overHarrisonCounty in the semifi-nals. “We’re the first team inScott history to make it to the10th Region final. I just lovemy brothers. I love my team-mates. They’re likemy family- I wouldn’t be anything with-out them. The chemistry wehave in the locker room,we al-ways jokearoundbutwhen it’stime to get serious, we get se-rious.”

Jackson scored sevenagainst Montgomery and 21against Harrison in the semis.The Eagles beat Harrison 58-44. Eric Pouncy had ninepoints against Harrison andKevin Jehn, seven.

“The intensity we had,”Jackson said after the semi.“Our crowd was big and ourbench was just huge for us.Theywere very energetic andpeople just stepped up andmade plays.”

Jacksonwasasourceofkeyplays all year.

“(Jackson) is our heart andsoul, he really is,” said headcoach Brad Carr. “When hedoes something well, the kidsget really confident. If heblocks a shot or makes a shot,he’s the leader. Our other kidsstepped up, especially defen-sively.”

Other seniors are EricPouncy, Tyler Buckner, TravisClary, Josh Felts, Kevin Jehn,Luka Jovicic, Collin Myersand Pete Ohmer.

“I’m very proud of our kidsand I’m very happy for thesekids,” Carr said after the Har-rison win. “They had a lot ofexpectations put on them. Wewere picked second in the re-gion and I think that was toolofty for them. We played avery challenging schedule,which doesn’t allow themmuch opportunity to becomeconfident. At the same time, it

prepares you for games likethis.”

Junior center KameronCrim, a football lineman get-ting Division I looks, had 14points against Augusta in thequarterfinals and had a keyscoring spurt against Harri-sonwitheightpoints, six in thethird period.

“He’s a load in there,” Carrsaid. “He’s 6-4, 265, 270pounds.He’s athletic and pret-ty nimble, he gets off his feetpretty quickly. He’s going topose a lot of problems forthem. If they’re going to playbehind him in the post, he’ll beable to sit and bury people.Whenhehasa lotofenergyoutthere,he’saverygoodplayer.”

Jehn had 13 points againstAugusta in a 62-59 win.

Montgomery County en-tered the Sweet 16 with a 31-4record. The Indians have oneof fiveMr.Basketball finalistsin 6-6 forward Omar Prewitt,who scored 28 against Scott.Montgomery also has a host oftalented guards.

“They’re the best team inthe region,” Carr said beforehis Eagles’ meeting with theIndians. “They have a greatcoach, theyhave thebest play-er in the region in Omar Pre-witt, they probably have thesecond best player in TylerJones, and they probably havethe third best player in DariusJones.”

Nancy DalyEDITOR’SNOTEBOOK

The commonwealth ofKentucky faces great chal-lenges in how to allocate lim-ited government resourceseffectively. But cuts in pro-grams that directly impactthousands of low-income fam-ilies deserve public discussion

and reconsid-eration. Theseare familieswho are try-ing their bestto rise into themiddle class,but just needa little, well-placed help todo that.

The Ken-tucky Cabinetfor Healthand Family

Services recently announceddevastating cuts to the ChildCare Assistance program. Thecuts to child care assistanceare drastic and short-sighted.Eligibility is being cut from150 percent of poverty to 100percent. (The current povertyrate is equal to $23,550 for afamily of four.)

The cuts will also freezeintake of new families to theprogram, unless they are inthe foster care system or havean open child abuse case. Forfamilies that only receiveassistance during the summermonths while their childrenare out of school and needsupervision, the cuts will like-ly take them by surprise.

The Child Care Assistanceprogram helps low-incomeparents pay for the high costsof child care so that they canwork or attend post-secondaryeducation. It is one of only afew assistance programs thatgive the disadvantaged anopportunity to move beyondtheir current circumstances.

In addition to helping par-ents stay in the workforce,their children gain access toquality educational experi-ences at licensed child careproviders. The research isvery clear: children who at-tend quality community-basedcare are more likely to enterkindergarten ready to suc-ceed. Children who start kin-dergarten academically be-hind are likely to remain be-hind throughout their school

years.Helping low-wage families

afford quality child care sothey can work or go to schoolis worthwhile on its own mer-its. But the benefits of thechild care assistance programextend beyond just the family,affecting business, employ-ment and our community.Child care workers are likelyto lose their jobs as centersimpacted by the cuts areforced to scale back or close,which will impact our eco-nomic recovery. Workingparents who cannot find al-ternative arrangements fortheir older children may beforced to leave them unsu-pervised between school andwork, creating “latch-key”situations, that has beenshown to lead to poor schoolperformance, juvenile crimeand high-risk activity.

Long-term, taking awaythis assistance is a step back-ward for the working poor intheir quest to become self-reliant and provide a betterfuture for their children. Thestate is creating a scenariowhere these families are morefinancially secure if they stopworking and stay home.

Low-wage parents, likeparents everywhere, want thebest for their children. Yet,without this type of assis-tance, they may be forced toreturn to a reliance on safetynet providers for help withfood, rent, utilities, and otherbasic needs.

Our children and our com-munity cannot afford to re-duce this valuable resourcefor families who are trying toimprove their futures. With somany unintended conse-quences, we must find anoth-er way. Our state could ear-mark general funds to staveoff these cuts, or even pass aspecial appropriation to keepour families and communitieswhole and our children safe.

If you are concerned aboutchild care assistance cuts,please contact your state leg-islators and Governor Be-shear to let your voice beheard.

Florence Tandy is executive direc-tor of Northern Kentucky Communi-ty Action Commission.

Unintendedconsequences tochild care cuts

FlorenceTandyCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Recent news stories havepresented the possibility ofoutsourcing police servicefor Villa Hills. I am adamant-ly opposed to this.

The most basic service acity provides for its resi-dents is public safety. Sincethe city’s founding nearly 51years ago we have had apolice department staffed bya dedicated and professionalforce. We have seen an in-crease in crime over the pastyear and the police depart-ment hasn’t been fullystaffed since the end of 2010.

It should concern the com-munity that Mayor Martinhasn’t brought up the issue ofoutsourcing until he wasrecently challenged to an-swer questions about therumors. He said he’s been“telling everyone all along”that he was approached byfour agencies over the pasttwo years regarding out-sourcing. Who is “everyone”?It seems more people fromoutside of Villa Hills wereaware of this before the resi-dents. At the January councilmeeting Judge-executiveArlinghaus said, “Who knowswhere your police depart-ment will be next year.” Does

he knowsomething wedon’t? Howcan we beconfidentMayor Mar-tin is trulyacting in thecity’s bestinterest? Hehas been lessthan forth-coming on

many issues, so can we ex-pect him to be any differenton this one?

Mayor Martin unsuccess-fully sued two of our policeofficers for his forgery ar-rest and is currently beingsued by an officer for retalia-tion. It is my belief that themayor’s actions against thepolice department (i.e., notfully staffing it after he tookoffice, refusing to give areason for not doing so, des-ignating the newest officeras non-hazardous, and nowexploring outsourcing), isjust a means to an end forMayor Martin to exact re-venge on our police depart-ment. These acts jeopardizethe safety of the citizens.

Recent history illustratesthat cities outsourcing police

protection have not been allthat successful: Ludlowserved Bromley, but nowBromley is served by ParkHills due to Ludlow’s in-creased cost at contract re-newal. Southgate ended itsmerger with HighlandHeights. I hear that residentsof Crescent Springs are un-happy with Erlanger’s re-sponse time. Once the de-partment is dissolved, it willbe costly to start it back up.

Villa Hills needs its ownpolice department and itshould be fully staffed. Ifyou agree with me, be awarecouncil is beginning to draftthe budget for the upcomingfiscal year. I urge you toattend the City Council meet-ing at 7 p.m. Wednesday,March 20, and make a publiccomment to let council knowyour feelings on this issue.Make the time to attend andlet your opinion be heard.There is no need to pursueoutsourcing talks if the citi-zens want their police de-partment to remain in thecity of Villa Hills.

Keep Villa Hills police force

Avoid sequestrationAswemove ahead in this

tax-filing season, I wonderhowmany people in our com-munity will have difficultygetting the help they needfrom the IRS to answer taxquestions. I’m afraid the num-ber will be substantial sinceCongress failed to avoid thefederal budget cuts occurringbecause of sequestration.

As president of Chapter 73of the National Treasury Em-ployees Union, I can tell youthat IRS employees want toserve the public efficientlyand effectively – but are work-ing this filing season with5,000 fewer employees thanjust two years ago. Now, alongwith other government em-ployees, mymembers face theprospect of days of unpaidfurlough because of seques-tration.

What’s so frustrating is thatfederal workers already havecontributed $103 billion todeficit reduction and econom-ic recovery –more than anyother group— yet are amongthe first to be hit by the severebudget cuts under sequestra-

tion. Themuch better path forus all would be to enact a bal-anced deficit reductionmea-sure.

Support the policeThere be little doubt now of

the Villa Hills mayor’s con-tinued vendetta against theVilla Hills Police Departmentthat dates back to when themayor was arrested on forg-ery charges in addition to thetestimony from the policedepartment during themay-or’s removal hearing.

Themayor’s plan all alonghas been to eliminate the po-lice department as he haspurposely kept the depart-ment understaffed for thetwo-plus years he has beenmayor. If you doubt themayorall along had plans to eliminatethe police department and thathe probably even discussedthis with the Kenton CountyJudge-executive Steve Arling-haus, then why did the judge-executive, when he addressedVilla Hills council in January,say, “Who knows where your

police department is going tobe by the end of the year.”

With three councilpersonson council apparently favoringeliminating our police depart-ment and three apparentlyagainst, this wouldmean a tievote with themayor breakingthe tie. Just what do you thinkthemayor’s vote would be?

If concerned residents VillaHills value the Villa Hills Po-lice Department and want tomaintain excellent responsetime rather than longer re-sponse times by another city’spolice department when youmay need it and want con-tinued visibility on the streetsof Villa Hills versus sporadicvisibility by another city orthe county, then you better“Stand Up and BeHeard orFace the Consequences.”

Let themayor and councilknow you support our policedepartment by attending coun-cil meetings on the thirdWednesday of eachmonth andby emailing council and themayor and by calling the CityBuilding.

SEARCH IS ON FOR

MUSIC LEGENDSCOLD SPRING—The equip-

ment’s all set up, and it’s a halfhour before Jerry Gifford of theband Strange Brew takes to themicrophone to open the evening’sentertainment with the AllmanBrothers’ “Melissa.”

Gifford, who’s been playingrock and roll since the 1960s,takes a fewmoments to talk abouthis latest passion.

A Northern KentuckyMusicHall of Fame is long overdue, hesays.

So this year a group called theNorthern KentuckyMusic Leg-ends Committee will partner withthe Behringer-CrawfordMuseumin Covington to create an exhibitabout local and national musiclegends fromNorthern Kentucky.

“Musicians are never remem-bered. Athletes always seem to beremembered. But we always for-get about the musicians,” Giffordsaid. “In Northern Kentuckywhich is Kenton, Campbell andBoone we have so many of themwho have passed and no oneknows who they are and this is atribute to all the guys who havededicated their life to entertainingthe people of Northern Kentucky.”

As the bar filled up at Raniero’sPizza before Strange Brew’s set,Gifford was joined by CharlieColeman of Alexandria. Colemanis known for broadcasting theNorthern Kentucky Sports Leg-ends show on ICN6 cable televi-sion for nine years. He’s givingthe Music Legends Committeetechnical and moral support.

Coleman remembers seeingGifford perform at a bar calledRiverside in 1967, back when theDayton musician – and now a citycouncilman – had hair down to hisshoulders.

Looking back over the decades

the friends had no shortage ofideas for consideration in theMusic Hall of Fame.

One of the first mentioned isBobbyMackey, a traditional coun-try singer whose career hasspanned 40 years, operating Bob-byMackey’s Music World in Wild-er since 1978.

Twins Bill and Al Stith of FortThomas played in a band calledThe Corvairs that was popular inGreater Cincinnati in the early1960s.

The country-rock band PurePrairie League had ties to North-ern Kentucky. Campbell CountyCircuit Court JudgeMickey Foell-ger got his start playing drums atage 13, and played in New Lime, aColumbia Records act, and TheApple Butter Band, which touredwith the Beach Boys.

More recently GaryWintersfrom Fort Thomas played trumpetfor the American Idol orchestraand is touring worldwide withFredWesley and the New JB’s.

Adrian Belew, a rock guitarist

best known for his work with KingCrimson, went to Ludlow HighSchool. Just last week the rockband Nine Inch Nails announcedBelew will join its summer tour.

Rick Fuchs, manager of WillisMusic Co. in Florence, had anoth-er suggestion for the Music Hallof Fame.

“I think that Gene Thompsonwould be a very good candidatefor that,” Fuchs said. “He is Mr.Bluegrass for this area and he’sbeen very instrumental in bring-ing bluegrass artists to this areafor over 40 years.”

Tiffany Hoppenjans, Behrin-ger-CrawfordMuseum’s curatorof exhibits and collections, ispleased the partnership is gener-ating so many ideas for the North-ern KentuckyMusic LegendsExhibit.

“We want to highlight the peo-ple from Northern Kentucky who

have been involved in musicthroughout their lives and whohave made it on the national scenebut primarily those that are locallegends – the teachers, the localbands, the music venue owners,”she said. The exhibit from June 2to Sept. 1will also have an in-duction ceremony, concerts andopen mic nights associated withthe Music Hall of Fame.

The Northern KentuckyMusicLegends exhibit will highlightperformers, bands, DJs, compos-ers, lyricists and other musicalartists from Northern Kentuckywho have spent 20 or more yearssharing music with the public.

Word is spreading, all the wayto Nashville.

Hoppenjans will meet in Marchwith performing artist DonnaFrost of Nashville who does atribute show honoring the musicof Skeeter Davis. Davis, bornMary Frances Penick in DryRidge, later moved to Erlangerand went to Dixie Heights HighSchool in the late 1940s. There sheformed a group known as theDavis Sisters signed by RCA Vic-tor. As a solo act, Skeeter Davisachieved crossover success in1963 with her song “The End ofthe World.” She died in 2004.

“I am so very excited about theBehringer-CrawfordMuseum’sexhibit featuring my friend Skee-ter Davis along with other notablemusic stars from Northern Ken-tucky,” said Frost, who touredwith Davis and has many of heroriginal costumes. “She would beso pleased and I think it is so ap-propriate as this is the 60th anni-versary of ‘I Forgot More ThanYou’ll Ever Know’ by the DavisSisters.”

According to Frost, “It is sovery important to keep the musicand memories alive of the greatartists who are no longer with us.”

Expo to focus on Type 1 diabetesCommunity Recorder

My friend Laura Noeand I were chatting acouple of weeks ago. Sheand husband Oakleywere having their mapletrees tapped for theannual pancake break-fast at Pattison Parkhere in Clermont Coun-ty.

Laura had me so en-thused about tapping

mapletrees thatI’m deter-minednext yearto tapours. Actu-ally, wedid tap ourtrees whenmy boyswere little,but had no

idea just how to go aboutit and I recall we got solittle sap that we juststuck our fingers in itand tasted it raw.

Tapping maple treesis an ancient art. Lauratold me tapping shouldbe done in mid to latewinter – nights in the 20sand days sunny and inthe 40s – so it’s a timelyventure. Our Tristatepark districts hold lotsof fun maple syrupevents for the family, soI hope you take advan-tage.

The recipes request-ed for this week fell intotune, as well. I had re-quests for “a differentsalad dressing for East-er that’s not too heavy”and a request for “onemore recipe for chunkygranola.” I’ve shared myoriginal recipe forchunky granola beforebut have an even chunki-er one today.

Maple and balsamicsalad dressing

Serve over mixedgreens or baby spinachwith thinly sliced applesor strawberries, thinlysliced red onion and feta

cheese. Good servedwith a sprinkling of can-died or honeyed nuts ontop. Check out my blogfor that recipe.

Whisk together:1⁄3cup white balsamicvinegar or rice winevinegar

3 tablespoons pure maplesyrup or to taste (Fortesting, I used KrogerPrivate Selection )

1 tablespoon DijonmustardSalt and pepper to taste1⁄2cup extra virgin olive oil

Chunkymaplegranola

I was at first going tocall this “Bible granola”since so many ingredi-ents are mentioned inthe Bible. This is mychunkiest yet – reallygood chunks but remem-ber, you will always havesome flaking. Be carefulwhen breaking apart.Step by step photos areon my blog at Cincin-nati.Com/blogs.

Mix together:

4 cups old fashioned oats11⁄2cups sliced almonds orfavorite nuts

1 cupmixed seeds: yourchoice of sesame, flax,millet, chia, hemp orsunflower seeds (seeRita’s tip)

CoatingWhisk together and

add the smaller amountlisted at first, then tasteand add more if you like.1⁄2to 2⁄3cup light brown sugar1⁄2cup extra virgin olive oil1⁄2cupmaple syrup or honey2-3 teaspoons vanilla1⁄2teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Put a piece ofparchment on largecookie sheet (about 15inches by 12 inches).Spray parchment.

Pour coating over oatmixture. Pour onto panand pat down evenly andfirmly. This is importantto make the granolachunk up later. Bake30-35 minutes. Let cooland break into chunks. Iuse an offset spatula.

This granola alsomakes a delicious cere-al, no sugar needed!

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can use any com-bo of seeds, even allsunflower. Millet gives adelicious crunch andcontains protein andiron. Chia, like flax, is agreat source of Omega3s, but doesn’t have to beground to get the bene-fit. It also absorbs a lotof water and curbs theappetite. Hemp is not

what you think, it comesfrom a completely dif-ferent plant. Huge

amounts of Omega 3sand protein there, too.

Question:Do I needto prune my landscapetrees and shrubs andmy fruit trees now be-fore they start to bloomout?

Answer: Pruningduring the late winterand early spring allows

for theremovalof damagecaused bywinterwinds,droughtand dis-ease. Thewoundscaused bypruningheal mostquickly

this time of year, just asnew growth is emergingon the plant.

Pruning also allowsremoval of crowded orhazardous branches.When pruning trees, thesize of the tree does notneed to be reduced toomuch in one season.Limit the pruningamount to one-fourth ofthe tree’s volume. Startby thinning outbranches by cuttingthem off close to thetree’s trunk or back to alarge limb.

Leave the short,swollen base of thebranch, known as thecollar, intact. Cuttingthe collar off (whichresults from “flushcuts”) would preventthe plant from growingover the wound causedfrom pruning. If thebranch is cut back onlypart way, there willlikely be a crowdedregrowth of newbranches where the cut

was made. Never leavebranch stubs.

Do not seal or paintthe wounds resultingfrom pruning becausethat will only delay thetree’s “healing” process.Black tar, tree paint andwound dressing havebeen known for decadesto be harmful to trees,leading to sunscald,internal decay, and poorwound closure.

The showy, early-blooming shrubs andtrees like forsythia,lilac, viburnum, andredbud should not bepruned until after theyhave bloomed. Thatway, the flowers willhave been enjoyed andthe plant can recover,grow, and produce morebuds for flowers thefollowing year.

Most fruit trees (oth-er than peach, apricotand nectarine), shadetrees (like maples andoaks) and evergreenscan be pruned now,while they are still dor-mant. Wait until June toprune the true pines.Summer-bloomingplants can all be prunednow, before bud breakand new growth occurs.These include gold-enraintree, Rose ofSharon, pink spireas,Potentilla (bush cinque-foil), butterflybush,beautybush, summer-sweet Clethra, PeegeeHydrangea, Hills ofSnowHydrangea, Anna-belle Hydrangea, crape-myrtle, glossy Abelia,late-blooming AutumnClematis, and hybrid tearose.

Pruning is not lim-ited to a certain time ofyear. Homeowners canprune at any time ifthey notice branchesand limbs that are dam-aged either fromweath-er, disease or insects.Pruning is invigoratingfor the plants in a homelandscape, so one shouldnot think of pruning as ameans of size control.

Eat Right, YourWay,Every Day is the themeof 2013 National NutritionMonth campaign of theAcademy of Nutritionand Dietetics. Grocerystores shelves arestocked with items tohelp us heed that advice.

Consider setting a goalto do something thismonth to improve youreating habits.

For good health, fill upon foods that provideneeded nutrients beforefoods that supply calorieswith few or no needed

nutrients.Goodsources ofneedednutrientsincludefruits,vegetables,wholegrains, drybeans, leanmeats, andlow-fat

dairy or dairy alternates.Learn to read and

understand informationavailable on food labels.Not only do labels tell us

what the product is, theingredient listing suppliesdetails of items in thefood. Product ingredientsare listed by weight frommost to least. That meansthere is more of the firstitem listed in the productthan the last. Look forproducts that have a rea-sonable number of ingre-dients for the item. Youmay also want to look foringredients you can easi-ly identify.

Discover the NutritionFacts panel. This foodlabel section features

information on servingsize as well as nutrition.Youmay be surprised tofind a package of yourfavorite food actuallycontains two or moreservings.

Explore the inneraisles of the grocery storeto find great, reasonablypriced sources of wholegrains, beans, fruits,vegetables, andmore.Discover brown rice,oats, and whole wheat inaddition to other grainsand flours.

Look for frozen fruits

and vegetables withoutadded sauces and syrups.Canned and dry fruitsand vegetables also pro-vide variety in the dietalong with items found inthe produce section.

Explore the meat casesto find lean cuts that canbe used in a number ofrecipes. Casseroles, soupsand stews allow a littlemeat to serve a lot ofpeople.

The dairy section isfull of products that canbe included in a healthfuldiet. Look for skimmilk

or a dairy alternative thatprovides calcium andvitamin D, and flavorfulcheeses that can be usedin moderation.

While no one wants tolook at every food labelevery time they go to thegrocery, set a goal toexplore one or two newitems each time you visitthe store.
