ALEXANDRIA — Thirty-year-old Kim Flannery and87-year-old Nick Cleves havea common purpose throughAlexandria Lions Club.
Giving the gift of sight.Cleves, of Fort Thomas,
spends time repairing donat-ed eyeglasses in his garageworkbench. Over 22 yearsthe retired jeweler has re-paired more than 56,000pairs of glasses.
Flannery, of Florence,joined the Lions in 2011 whileshe was working as an opti-cian at Wal-Mart in Alexan-dria. After being transferredto Wal-Mart in Fort Wright,Flannery decided to staywith Alexandria’s Lions.
A 2013 two-week trip to Ja-maica working with 41 op-tometrists and other doctorsallowed Flannery to put touse hundreds of glasses ex-amined and repaired byCleves. Used eyeglasses arenot legally allowed to be pre-scribed by doctors in theU.S., so they have to be sentoverseas, she said.
“We saw close to 4,000 pa-tients” in Jamaica, Flannerysaid.
Cleves and his wife usedto go pick up used glassesfrom donation boxes month-ly at 35 places in Boone,Campbell, Kenton countiesand Hamilton County inOhio. Now, club vice presi-dent Ray Meyer of Coving-ton gathers up used glassesfrom only six donation spotsin Campbell County andtakes them to Cleves to workon.
Cleves, who was just fea-tured in Lions Club’s nationalmagazine, said he will con-tinue working on eyeglassesas long as he is able.
Lion’s Club members cele-brated 50 years March 24 bysharing stories about howCleves and Flannery haveeach helped further an inter-national club effort to im-prove people’s vision.
Club member Glen Bolin-ger of Alexandria said clubmembers still either do eyetesting in schools or provideavision testing machine usedby school nurses.
There are about 15 clubmembers now, and membersof the club are aging, he said.
“It’s just like all the otherservice organizations, it’sjust hard to get new mem-bers in,” Bolinger said.
Gloria Angel, 77, wife ofclub president Gary Angel,of Alexandria, said clubfunds are also used to buynew glasses for people iden-
tified in need throughschools or senior citizen or-ganizations. Club membersbought 24 new pairs of glass-es for people in CampbellCounty last year, she said.
During the anniversary,club members welcomedback four returning mem-bers and met with two pros-pective members.
“We say it’s the best-keptsecret in Campbell County,”Angel said.

Nick Cleves, of Fort Thomas, a retired jeweler, and Kimberly Flannery,of Florence, an optician, each work through Alexandria Lions Club intheir spare time to improve people’s vision.

ALEXANDRIA — City Coun-cil’s new big-ticket budget itemis an estimated $1 million streetproject, but $20,000 is being setaside for a new sidewalk pro-gram too.
Alexandria starts a new bud-get and fiscal year July 1.
Immediately prior to coun-cil’s April 16 meeting, financecommittee members includingMayor Bill Rachford and coun-cilmen Bob Simon and StaceyGraus met April 16 to review thebudget with City Clerk KarenBarto.
Finance committee chair-man Scott Fleckinger said he ex-pects to have a 2015-2016 budgetready for all council members toreview by a May 21 meeting.
About $3.8 million is the cur-rent year’s budget, which is ontrack, he said. Next year’s bud-get will be about the same ex-cept for paving Shaw and Sheri-dan drives, Fleckinger said.
“If you take that one big pro-ject out of there, it’s pretty muchstatus quo,” he said.
Street construction bids aredue back April 23, and will beforwarded to council for ap-proval at the May 7 meeting,Rachford said.
“So we’ll know exactly thenhow much that is going to cost,”he said. “It will be somewhere inthe area of $1 million.”
Included in a $900,000 budgetline for public works capital im-provements are funds for streetrepairs including $100,000 fornew public works equipment.
Other capital spending in theupcoming budget will be pur-chase of three new police cruis-ers to replace three older cars,said Chief of Police Mike Ward.Last year, two new police cruis-ers were purchased, Ward said.In the last five years, the depart-ment has gone without any po-
lice car purchases twice, hesaid.
Everything is preliminary,Barto said.
“We do balance,” Barto said.“We are not over budget.”
SIDEWALKSIncluded in the upcoming
year’s budget will be a new bud-get expense of $20,000 for side-walk repair.
Cost estimates to fix side-walks on Stillwater Drive andMain Street are about $14,000,said Sam Trapp, public works di-rector.
“We’ll have enough left if weneed an emergency patch,”Trapp said.
Council unanimously ap-proved an ordinance April 16switching responsibility for re-pairing and pouring new side-walks from individual propertyowners to city public works.
Councilman Scott Fleckingersaid his only question waswhether taking on sidewalkmaintenance will increase li-abilities the city doesn’t havenow. City Attorney Mike Dun-can said there will be no in-crease in city liabilities.
“Obviously, we would need todo routine inspections and fixand repair things, just like wewould require the property own-ers to do now,” Duncan said.
Rachford said there is noprocess set up yet about how todecide what sidewalks are fixedeach year.
“At this point it is incumbenton us to put something in writ-ing,” he said.
The city will follow Ameri-cans with Disabilities Act guide-lines for sidewalks, Rachfordsaid.
“Clearly, we can’t do every-thing everyone would like all atonce,” he said.

We’ll know thecosts for our saltthen,” he said.
Trapp said Alexan-dria has 75 tons of saltleft out of an originalsupply of about 500tons. Alexandria bud-geted $45,000 to buysalt for the currentyear.
More salt wasneeded last year be-cause the hillside roadinto Arcadia “eats up”salt, Trapp said. Arca-dia is a new 1,016-unithousing developmentunder constructionbetween TollgateRoad and U.S. 27.
Trapp said he isworking with Arca-dia’s developers,Fischer Homes andDrees Co., to use apiece of land in Arca-dia to put a mini cov-ered salt barn for pub-lic works to use.
“As Arcadia grows,our salt budget is go-ing to grow,” Trappsaid.

for marketing and grow-ing Campbell County’seconomy in a series of fivequestions.
Cutter says a signifi-cant focus of his role willbe about finding ways toimprove quality of life soattracting and retainingskilled workers compa-nies want to employ is eas-ier. Among things Cuttersaid he is working on isfinding office space forbusiness start-ups. Part-nering with the nonprofitCampbell County Eco-nomic Progress Authority, Cutter said he is an advi-sory committee memberfor the regional businessaccelerator UpTech.
Question: What sort ofstrategies will you imple-ment to push your agenda,the county’s agenda, for-ward?
Answer: It falls intothese buckets of new busi-ness attraction, workingwith those regional part-ners and being proactiveon our own. The samething with retention andexpansion, being attentiveto the needs of small busi-nesses and entrepre-neurs. ... I want to makesure everything thatwe’re doing is out there.Ramping up an e-commu-nications newsletter, get-ting back on social mediaand making sure the coun-ty’s website has resourcesso when people call or lookthey know the county canconnect them with North-ern Kentucky Univer-sity’s Small Business De-velopment Center or Up-Tech. ... A big part of eco-nomic development isbeing visible and beingout there and especiallynot just to people in our re-gion and in our communi-ty. We need to be sure thatwhen people think North-ern Kentucky and Cincin-nati, they think CampbellCounty too.”
Q: What are the topthree quality of life issuesyou would like to see hap-pen here in CampbellCounty? How will youwork to get that done?
A: 1. RiverfrontCommons(an 11.5-mile cy-cling and walking pathalong the Ohio River) is abig one because South-bank (Partners) has beensuch a good partner to ourriver cities and to ourcounty that when youthink about it, it makesmarket sense if we’re at-tracting not only to workhere, but to live here ...That’s a big quality of lifeone that I’m going to workhard to support whetherit’s advocacy or workingwith Jack Moreland(Southbank’s president) tomake sure CampbellCounty can be a part of theproject.
2. Northern KentuckyUniversity and HighlandHeights: Can we get somesynergy going around theuniversity to get head-quarters and research anddevelopment branches ofcompanies to locate rightnear NKU. I think one ofthe big tools we’re going touse there is last fall NKUand the city of HighlandHeights entered into anagreement to do a TIF (taxincrement financing) dis-trict all around U.S. 27 upinto like Lowe’s and thensnaking along U.S. 27down closer to the univer-sity. For me, promotingsomething like that is heywe can encourage and dodevelopment here in theimmediate vicinity of thecampus. The point is howcan we retain the studentsafter they graduate tomake sure they have eco-nomic opportunity to stay.
3. I’m looking at wayswe can leverage move-ments like the Farm toFork movement and localurban gardening ... tohighlight what is happen-ing in the south part of thecounty.
Q:There are similar po-sitions in Cincinnati andother Northern Kentuckycounties like yours. Whatopportunities are there topartner with them?
A: We went with ourpartners at Tri-ED andREDI Cincinnati on a visitto our friends at KrogerDowntown to talk aboutKroger’s Kentucky opera-tions. Because, as youknow in Campbell County,they’re one of our largestemployers .... I think theNewport Pavilion is one ofthe biggest (stores) in theregion and we’ve got theone Bellevue and two inCold Spring. In addition atRiverfront Place here inNewport, you’ve got PLMarketing which does allthe labeling. And you’vegot other subsidiary com-panies ...The county iswilling to go on visits likethat with REDI and withTri-ED. I, and the county’sleadership, can move theneedle on not only job cre-ation, but attracting busi-ness and retaining busi-ness for a county as largeas Campbell County and aregion as large as North-ern Kentucky and themetro area of Cincinnati.
Q: Is it realistic to thinkA.J. Jolly Park will be a bigdraw for people, compa-nies and residents to movehere and stay here?
A: The vision that theJolly Park CommunityDevelopment Council hasput forward, and has beenrecently adopted by theFiscal Court, is such a ro-bust plan for the future ofthe park that I don’t thinkthere’s any doubt that ifand when elements oftheir plan come together,that it won’t be miles overwhere it is now.
Q: Pick Campbell.Why?
A: Unparalleled oppor-tunity ... There’s more toCampbell County thanjust being close to Cincin-nati. ... There’s beinghome to NKU, there’s anindustrial base and oppor-tunity for that in Wilderand in the south part of thecounty and in SilverGrove. There’s a thrivingurban core that is makingthe smart moves from anorganic community kindof level to attract new peo-ple.
PARK HILLS — For the firsttime in the Notre Dame Acad-emy’s history, the all-girlschool, has hired a male princi-pal.
Jack VonHandorf, an admin-istrator at a Cincinnati privateschool, will officially take onthe role July 1. VonHandorf, 49,of Taylor Mill, is also the acad-emy’s only the second lay prin-cipal, according to Jane Kleier,academy marketing coordina-tor.

He is married to Terri Von-Handorf and they have twochildren, Drew VonHandorfand Kylie VonHandorf.
The Recorder recently satdown with VonHandorf to dis-cuss his thoughts on his newrole.
Q: How does it feel to benamed the first male principal?
A: It is an honor and a privi-lege to be chosen for a leader-ship role at a school with such arich tradition of excellence inand out of the classroom. NotreDame has an academic rep-utation that has been fosteredby its faculty and leadershipfor many generations. My goalis to continue this rich tradi-tion.
Q: Why is this an importantrole?
A: Every educational leader-ship role is important in the
academic setting from theclassroom teacher to the princi-pal. We partner with parents toguide and teach young womenabout academics, servant lead-ership, character and givingback to the community.
Q: Why do you want to un-dertake this task?
A: It is a new and excitingchallenge. I have spent 17 yearsat Summit in roles as an in-terim upper school director,math teacher, dean of students,
student government moderatorand coach. From this pointmoving forward I feel I havethe experience, ability, commit-ment, time and energy to ded-icate to the role of being a prin-cipal. Being familiar with highquality education in conjunc-tion with an institution that hasbeen a part of many importantpeople in my life, it is a greatopportunity.
Q: Tell me what you are mostproud of having accomplishedwhile at Summit?
A:It is not one particularaccomplishment but ratherfeeling that I made a differencein the lives of students. I triedto challenge and support themto be the best possible studentand person. I hope that I movedthem forward in being strong,servant leaders.
Q: What makes a good prin-cipal?
A: A good principal providesa consistent, positive examplefor students and is committed
to fostering student and facultygrowth. Principals build rela-tionships with faculty and stu-dents and empower them tobecome the best versions ofthemselves.
Q: What are you lookingforward to the most?
A: To have the opportunity tocontribute to an institution witha strong tradition of excellenceand that encourages women tomake a difference in the world.
Q: How does it feel to workwith a school your family hasconnections with?
A: I feel honored to be in thisrole knowing the positive im-pact it has had in shaping thelives of generations of womenin my family. My mom, mysisters, my wife and daughterare all graduates of NotreDame and they attribute muchof their success to their experi-ences at Notre Dame.
FLORENCE — To understandthe importance of early child-hood education in NorthernKentucky, talk to parent TonyaFreeman, whose daughter at-tended Hopeful Lutheran Pre-school in Florence.
“My older daughter graduat-ed from the preschool programand now attends Walton Verona.Because we’re out of district,she had to test to get in and sheexceeded the minimum testscores. The skills she was pro-vided here equipped her to bein the program of our choice,”Freeman said.
Hopeful Lutheran is amongseveral schools to celebrate TheWeek of the Young Child April12-18, a program of NationalAssociation for the Education ofYoung Children, which pro-motes high-quality early educa-tion for every child. Every yearsince 1971, growing numbers ofcommunities have used thistime to focus on the power ofearly childhood education, andaffirm the research behind it.
Creating opportunities forpreschool children to receivequality education is an impor-tant investment in our future,according to Greg Landsman,executive director of the StrivePartnership Cincinnati, a partof the national cradle-to-careernetwork, StriveTogether, and asubsidiary of KnowledgeWorks.The organization brings togeth-er care providers who shareissues, goals, measurementsand results, and then cooperateto support and strengthen theirwork.
“Access to quality childcareand preschool for all children isperhaps the most significantmoral, social, and economicimperatives that we face as anation and a region. Too manyof our families are not coveredby public subsidies, and most ofthe rest of our families arepriced out of these quality early
learning and development op-portunities,” Landsman said.
Landsman said 90 percent ofbrain development occurs byage 5.
“The only thing stopping usis the potential for self-doubt, ora collective belief that we canno longer do big things. I don’tbuy into that belief, and haveconfidence that we will get thisdone,” he said. “We can fix this,but we have to act locally andboldly.”
At Hopeful Lutheran, direc-tor Judi Kretzmann is a believ-er. Her students, ages 2 to 5, aredeveloping skills and behaviorsthat will give them a soundfoundation – even when it lookslike they are playing.
“You’d be amazed whatthey’re learning when they’replaying with blocks or singing asong,” she said. “So much ofwhat is learned as children isvery important, and we only
have until the age of 5 to getthis information programmedin. So it’s important for us tomake sure that it’s not a stress-ful situation. We want to makelearning fun and engaging.”
At Erlanger’s Bright FutureChild Enrichment Center, direc-tor Rani Judd said recognizingthe Week of the Young Childalso provides an opportunity forparents to be involved in theirchild’s learning. For example,students took self-portraits andturned them into button pins fortheir parents to wear. Parentsand children created art togeth-er as well.
“One of the most importantthings a parent can do for theirchild is be involved,” Judd said.“We want to encourage parentsearly on to take an active partin their child’s education.”
The center also met withparents and shared informationon ways they can better pre-
pare their child for kindergar-ten.
Bellevue IndependentSchools Superintendent RobbSmith said about 40 childrenwill be enrolled in a new, freefull-day early childhood devel-opment program this fall in hisschool system. Children willtake naps and have a chance tolearn to help families in Belle-vue give their children strongfoundations while furtheringtheir careers, Smith said.
By working with the HeadStart program, Bellevue isseeking to increase the numberof children who are preparedfor kindergarten, he said.
“We see early childhood as aregional issue, not just a Belle-vue issue,” Smith said.
How well a child is readingby third grade is a strong in-dicator of how well they willperform through their senioryear in high school, he said.
Landsman, of StriveTogeth-er, reinforces the importance ofSmith’s point, citing troublingstatistics that show only 54percent of children in Cincin-nati, Newport and Covingtonshow up to school or kindergar-ten social, emotionally, andacademically ready.
“Last year, that was 1,723 ofour children that showed upunprepared, and 1,499 of themwere from low-income families.Getting the Cincinnati Pre-school Promise, or two years ofquality preschool for everychild, is one of the most respon-sible and urgent investmentswe can make,” Landsman said.“As for the ‘Week of the YoungChild,’ I think we should prio-ritize our young children everyday, and every day until eachand every one of them has whatthey need to succeed.”

A6 • ALEXANDRIA RECORDER • APRIL 23, 2015 NEWS
We’ve hardly had time to be indoorsthis week.
Between hunting for morel mush-rooms and ramps (we’ve only found onemushroom so far, and that was a falsemorel, not edible, but the ramps/wildleeks are abundant), picking violets forjellies and jams, checking out wild flow-ers in the woods and getting the gardensplowed and mulched for spring planting,I’m grateful when dusk comes.
But I have to admit, I love this timeof year.
It brings out my simple creativeside, and that means making crystal-lized flowers and leaves.
Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educa-tor, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profession-al and author. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.
Garnish a dishwith crystallized
flowers and leaves
Crystallized/candied edible flowers and leaves
All parts must be coated both with egg white and granulated sugar sothat they preserve well. If you’re concerned about using raw egg white, buypasteurized eggs. These are beautiful as a garnish for baked goods, icecream, etc. Nothing like the commercial ones which are tumbled in drumsand look like colored nuggets.
Egg whiteGranulated sugar, regular or fine
First, make sure you have “clean” petals and leaves, no toxic spray onthem. They must be dry. Whip egg white until foamy. Whipping allows youto coat petal without weighing it down. Take a small brush and coat petalon both sides very lightly but thoroughly. You can place it on a flat surfaceand coat each side with egg white. Have a small dish or pile of sugar ready.Place flatly on sugar to coat underside and sprinkle top lightly and thor-oughly. Check underside to make sure it’s coated well. Gently shake offexcess sugar. Carefully lay on wire rack to dry. Drying may take several daysor more. They’re ready when you can break off a piece cleanly, without itbending. Store covered in single layers at room temperature away from anyhumidity.
See process in stages along with list of other edible flowers, onAbouteating.com.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen: I’m going to test these using water insteadof egg white. I’ll let you know how they turn out.
List of edible flowers/herb leaves I used:Violets, violas, pansies, impatiens, mint leaves, violet leaves.
Grab and go morning glory muffins
A much loved recipe enjoying a comeback. Supposedly it was a “hip-pie” recipe when the natural food movement began and gave renewedenergy after a night of hard partying. I usually grab one before headingoutside. This is a substantial muffin!
1-1/4 cups sugar2 -1/4 cups all purpose flour1 tablespoon cinnamon, apple pie or pumpkin spice blend2 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut3/4 cup raisins, dried cherries, or your favorite dried fruit1 large apple, peeled and grated1 cup crushed pineapple, drained2 cups grated carrotsGenerous 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts3 large eggs1 cup vegetable oil - I’ve used canola and safflower1 tablespoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon, bakingsoda and salt. Add coconut, raisins, apple, pineapple, carrots and nuts, andstir to combine. Separately, whisk eggs with oil and vanilla. Pour over dryingredients and blend. Spoon into muffin tins lined with muffin cups, fillingeach almost to brim. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted intocenter comes out clean. Cool muffins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto arack to finish cooling.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Once you mix wet and dry ingredients to-gether, don’t over mix, which may create tunnels in baked muffins, makingthem less tender.

A publication of
April’s National VolunteerMonth is the perfect time toextend a special “thank you” toevery volunteer, and we espe-cially thank the more than4,000 volunteers throughoutthe region for being part of theWelcomers Community Volun-teer Network.
The Welcomers CommunityVolunteer Network, launchedin Cincinnati and NorthernKentucky in 2013, has quicklybecome one of the nation’slargest networks for volun-teers to play an active role insupporting a wide range oflocal arts, cultural and specialevents. Based on the enormoussuccess of the 2012 WorldChoir Games, the network wascreated as a turnkey volunteersystem to support the needs of
local events, while helping toattract and host large-scaleevents to enhance the region’seconomy.
Cincinnati and NorthernKentucky have a strong cul-ture of volunteerism. One in
four adults are volunteers.People take pride in using theirskills and experience to giveback to the communities wherethey live and work. Sincelaunching, the network nowhas 14 active local partnerorganizations, more than 4,000experienced volunteers col-lectively and 24 experiencedvolunteer managers.
The Welcomers Networkprovides a common technologyplatform for participating localarts and cultural partners,making the job of finding localvolunteers easier. For partici-pating volunteers, the networkoffers “one-stop” access andinsider information related tothe entire gamut of volunteeropportunities and upcomingevents available throughout
the network. The Welcomers database
includes people who enrolledthrough partner organizationsand others who have helpedhost large-scale events, such asthe annual International But-terfly Show at Krohn Conser-vatory.
Upcoming volunteer oppor-tunities include the Cincy USATourism Ambassadors Pro-gram, Spirit of Cincinnati com-munity events leading up toand surrounding MLB All-StarWeek, River Grill before theBig Chill in October and more.
The growing list of optionsfor volunteering is evidencedby each periodic update sentout by Rhonda Dickerscheid,the network manager. On be-half of the 14 partner organiza-
tions that comprise the Wel-comers Network and the large-scale events that choose theCincinnati/Northern Kentuckyregion as their destination, wethank the volunteers that havebecome the engine behindtheir success.
Having 4,000 volunteersthroughout the region in placeto make these events a successis a milestone worth celebrat-ing during National VolunteerMonth.

Kentucky’s open burninglaws can be very confusingbecause of the various agen-cies that have laws coveringopen burning. Those agenciesinclude the Division for AirQuality, the Division of WasteManagement, the Division ofForestry and local ordinances.
In general, open burning isprohibited because of contami-nation of the air, contaminationof drinking water, release oftoxic gases, the prevention ofwildfires and because of beinga health hazard and nuisance tolocal residents.
However, under regulationsof the Kentucky Division ofAir Quality, there are 11 com-mon situations in which openburning may be allowed. Thesesituations include:
1. Fires set for the cookingof food for human consump-tion;
2. Fires set for recreationalor ceremonial purposes;
4. Fires setfor the pur-pose of weedabatement,disease andpest preven-tion;
5. Fires setfor preventionof a fire haz-
ard, including the disposal ofdangerous materials if no safealternative is available;
6. Fires set for the purposeof instruction and training ofpublic and industrial employ-ees in the methods of fightingfires;
7. Fires set for recognizedagricultural, silvicultural,range, ecological and wildlifemanagement practices;
8. Fires set by individualhomeowners for burning of
leaves in select locations;9. Fires for disposal of
household rubbish, which shallnot include garbage in selectlocations;
10. Fires set for the purposeof disposing of accidentalspills or leaks of crude oil,petroleum products or otherorganic materials, and thedisposal of absorbent materialused in their removal, if noother economically feasiblemeans of disposal is availableand practical (Cabinet permis-sion prior to burning is re-quired);
11. Fires set for disposal ofnatural growth for land clear-ing and maintenance, and treesand tree limbs felled by stormsif no extraneous materials,such as tires or heavy oilwhich tend to produce densesmoke, are used to cause igni-tion or aid combustion and theburning is done on days whenconditions do not pose a threatof igniting a forest fire.
Should you decide to burnbased on one of the aforemen-tioned situations, you shouldcontact the Kentucky Energyand Environment Cabinet,Division for Air Quality(phone: 502-564-3999) to ensurethat you are following all therequirements of state law. Inmost of the listed situations, allfires must be attended untilextinguished and a watersource to put out the fire maybe required.
The Kentucky Division ofForestry also has burning lawsthat set burn seasons whichare March 1 through May 15and Oct. 1 through Dec. 15.During these seasons, no burn-ing can take place within 150feet of any woodland or brush-land.
The Kentucky Fire Mar-shal’s office also has regula-tions that state that no openburning shall be allowed within50 feet of any structure, re-quire all fires to be attended
and prohibits open burningwithout prior notification tolocal fire departments.
Penalties for violations ofthe above noted regulationsrange anywhere from up tofines of $25,000 per day and upto six months in jail.
In order to avoid problemswith open burning, you need tocomply with the above notedregulations and you need tocontact your local fire depart-ment concerning the regula-tions and in order to get a per-mit when necessary.
I hope this information isinteresting and helpful. If youhave any topics you would liketo have covered in this column,please contact my office bye-mail at [email protected], by phone at491-7700 or by regular mailaddressed to 319 York St., New-port, Ky. 41071.

Brossart playing with a purpose
Prior to the start of the soft-ball season, Bishop Brossart as-sistant coach Ashley Lloyd or-dered customized rubber wrist-bands for each of the Mustangsto wear. On each wristband iswritten this year’s rallying slo-gan: Unfinished Business.
They aren’t the only thingsnew as the Mustangs attempt tofill in some holes on the historicledger. They are wearing newuniforms with black pants, andgreen jerseys with white letter-ing including a decorative “B”
on the front. Head coach Tom Baynum
has two new assistants, DawnLloyd and Dennis Kremer. Theythink the girls look nice in theirspiffy uniforms, but all agreethat it’s the constant reminderof team goals on those newwristbands that’s resonatingthe most.
“That’s because we do haveunfinished business,” Baynumsaid. “We came into this yearwanting to get in the All “A”Classic state tournament, winthe 37th District and win the10th Region. All are doable if weplay the way we can.”
Bishop Brossart is 1-for-3 sofar in its quest for season-longsuccess.
The Mustangs are in theTouchstone Energy All “A”Classic state tournament for the
first time in five years. Theyblasted their way to the 10th Re-gion crown, taking three gamesover a span of eight days due toweather delays by a combined
score of 26-5, 20-0 the final day.They beat Paris, 6-0 in thechampionship game to cap a fi-nal four sweep on Saturday atAlexandria City Park, the Mus-
tangs’ home.They hope it’s the first of
more crowns to come. The Mus-tangs have their sights set on anAll “A” Classic state champion-ship, but they will need to wintheir first-ever small-schoolstate tournament game to getthere. Although they have wonthe past four 37th District titles,the Mustangs haven’t won theKentucky High School AthleticAssociation 10th Region tourna-ment crown since 2002, losing inthe first round or the semifinals11 years in a row.
Bishop Brossart made its All“A” Classic state breakthroughbehind hot bats featuring juniorcatcher Amanda Lloyd, and thepitching of Karlie Shackelfordand Megan Seiter, one of four

NEWPORT — Afterstarting the tennis pro-gram at Newport CentralCatholic High Schoolmore than 50 years ago,Bill Detzel is hoping to re-vive it.
Detzel, a 1962 gradu-ate of NewCath, took overthe boys and girls tennisprograms at the schoolthis season, hoping tobring them back to theirformer prominence. Hesaid he is co-head coach-es with Nick Prigge andMichael Hennigan.
A longtime teacher atHighlands for 30 yearswho now sells real estate,Detzel decided the timingwas right.
“I watched them playlast year,” he said. “I’vealways wanted to getback to NewCath andhelp the guys out.”
The Thoroughbredshave not been able to playmany matches this year,with the girls playing twoand the boys four. The re-cent rain and flooding
made their home courtsat Newport Stadium un-playable for about twoweeks, and the team hashad to practice indoors atthe school but not on ten-nis courts.
“We’ve run into somedifficulties I’ve neverhad before,” Detzel said.“The weather got us be-fore like they did every-body. We had eight daysin the gym. Most of theteams are able to play atclubs.”
Part of the challengefor Detzel is the depar-
ture of virtually every-one who played in the10th Region Tournamentlast season.
The boys team has afairly deep roster withmany seniors. Matt Strie-gel, a senior and also oneof the school’s top golf-ers, leads the way. PaulGrosser, Jack Kramerand Will Lampe are othertop veterans who havebeen improving.
Sophomores BenWells and Zac Heman,plus junior Kendall John-son show promise for the
future.NCC has only two girls
in the program in sopho-more Rose Brun andfreshman Helena Kaelin.They have a match winover Holy Cross thisyear.
“We’re a little greenbut we’re heading in theright direction,” Detzelsaid. “If we can win a cou-ple of matches in region-als that will be great.We’re strong in doubles.”

“I thought Amanda andour two pitchers playedgreat,” Baynum said. “Wepitched Megan Seiter inthe semifinals againstCalvary Christian so Pariswouldn’t see our normalpitcher (Shackelford).”
Seiter backed up hercoach’s confidence andmade the strategic movepay off by pitching a shut-out. The Mustangs beatCalvary Christian, 14-0 inthree innings in Satur-day’s semifinals. Laterthat day, Shackelford, asenior, shut out Paris inthe final. “Karlie has im-proved 10-fold,” AmandaLloyd said of her batterymate. “And our teamchemistry is at a peak.”
The Mustangs beatNicholas County, 6-5 in afirst-round game playedApril 1. “We’re so excitedto finally win,” Shackel-ford said. “And we’reready to make a run for itat state.”

the year.In doubles action, Pow-
er picked up seven wins,including four with NicoleSoutar and three with Yas-mine Xantos. Power andXantos paired up to take apair of wins in A-Sun ac-tion as well as a victoryover the Xavier pairing ofLizzie Oosterbaan andMegan Morris.
» Kennedy Windlanopened the final round ofthe Atlantic Sun Wom-en’s Golf Championshipon a torrid pace – birdie-ing four of the first fiveholes – to claim NorthernKentucky’s best finishever, tied-fifth, in the con-ference tournament.
Opening on the backnine, Windlan sandwichedbirdies on the 10th, 11th,13th and 14th around a bo-gey on the 12th. She closedthe back nine going out in34. Windlan followed a bo-gey on hole No. 7 with abirdie on No. 8 to close herfront nine at even par andpost a final-round 70 (-2).
The two-under round
was enough to catapultWindlan seven spots upthe leaderboard into atwo-way tie for fifth. The70 eclipsed NKU’s previ-ous low in the A-SunChampionship by fivestrokes, which was re-corded by both Windlanand Sarah Kellam last sea-son, and marked North-ern Kentucky’s lowest-re-corded round this year.

FLORENCE — A lot of kidslike lip balm and bouncy balls,but not many get the chance tomake their own using commonagricultural products in amobile trailer packed withtechnology. .
That’s what Florence Ele-mentary students got to dowhen the Kentucky Depart-ment of Agriculture’s MobileScience Activity Center rolledinto town April 7-9.
It’s one of two, 44-feet-longtrailers that allow students toparticipate in hands-on ex-periments while they respondto questions on the center’s 11iPads. The mobile units con-tain internal generators thatpower the tablets along with a70-inch monitor and an all-in-one touch-screen desktopcomputer as well as the heat-ing, air conditioning and ven-tilation system and a handi-capped-accessible ramp.
For more informationabout the Mobile Science Ac-tivity Center or KentuckyAgriculture and Environmentin the Classroom, call 502-573-0282 or visit www.kyagr.com.
Matthew Hayes, an agricul-
ture educator, talked aboutscientific facts and processes,such as pollination, and dis-cussed the differences be-tween a solid and a mixture.
Fifth-graders made eco-friendly plastic bounce ballsfrom corn starch, water andcorn oil with food coloring.The students learned aboutvariable change, or how theoutcome could change theproduct by changing the quan-tity of an ingredient, like add-ing more corn oil when mak-ing the balls.
Soil erosion was the topicof study for the fourth-gradestudents, who tested differenttypes of soil to determine theamount of soil erosion thathad taken place.
Students in grades K-2 hadshorter presentations to learnabout poultry, horses and beefcattle.
However, the third-gradeclass of Kaitlin Bernert got tomake lip balm using beeswax,soybean oil and some flavor-ing.
“This will be a little differ-ent from what you can buy inthe store,” Hayes said. “Thoseare petroleum based and theyhave lots and lots of oils inthem. Here, we use two ingre-
dients that come from agricul-ture. That means it came froma farm.”
They watched while Hayesmelted the beeswax andstirred in the oil, and studentsgot to put in two differentflavors. Hayes poured themixture into small containersthat were sent with Bernert sothey could cool before thestudents tried using the prod-uct.
Bernert said the hands-onlearning provided by thestate’s mobile learning centerhelped her students translatewhat they learn in the class-room to real-world experi-ences.
“I like that it’s really inter-active,” she said. “They arereally listening and it’s a greatchance for them to interactwith technology. This lessonreinforces content we’ve al-ready covered this year, butnow they can see it put intopractice in a real-life scenar-io.”

gentledentistryWe all want to eat food
that tastes good. One ofthe most common wayswe tend to make food taste
good isby add-ing salt.Dietshigh insodium,however,can raisebloodpressure,whichcan leadto manymajor
health issues includingheart disease.
Herbs provide a greatway for us to limit our so-dium intake while stillconsuming flavorfulfoods. Soon, farmers mar-
kets and garden centerswill have plants on hand.
Herbs are also some ofthe easiest things to grow.The simplest way to startan herb garden is to buyplants and transfer themto a window box.
You can also growherbs from seed. Herbsneed a lot of sun to grow,so make sure you plantthem in an area that re-ceives at least six hours ofsunlight a day. Basil, sage,parsley, chives and rose-mary will do well both in-doors or outdoors as longas they have plenty of sunand protection from coldweather.
You can begin harvest-ing herbs once the planthas enough leaves tomaintain growth. In earlymorning right before thedew dries, clip undam-aged leaves that have anice aroma. You can har-vest annual herbs likesweet basil, dill and oreg-ano until frost. Chives,mint, parsley and rose-mary will grow for morethan one season if they areprotected from harshcold. However, you shouldstop harvesting perennialand biennial herbs in lateAugust, as the plants willneed time to prepare forthe winter.
Some herbs producebeautiful flowers, but ifyou plan to cook withherbs in your kitchen, har-vest the leaves before theplant flowers. In addition,you can cut or pinch theflower buds back to pre-vent blooming. Once theplant flowers the leavesbegin to lose their aromat-ic flavors.
Once harvested, storefresh herbs in your refrig-erator or preserve themby drying or freezing. Tokeep washed herbs freshfor up to one month in therefrigerator, store themin an airtight containerand include a folded damppaper towel. For best re-sults, chop or mince herbs
before cooking. Volatileoils are released when theleaves are bruised, whichprovides their unique fla-vors.
Heat increases the rateat which herbs releasetheir flavors. For dishesthat require longer cook-ing times, add delicate-flavored and groundherbs at the end, so theirflavor will not escape.Some herbs, such as bayleaves, benefit from long-er cooking times. Herbsplaced in a cheeseclothbag allow the flavors toextract during cooking,and their easy removal.
Add herbs severalhours in advance or over-night to uncooked foods,such as salad dressings ormarinades. This will allowthe herbs to blend with theother ingredients. Season-ing your dishes with herbswill allow you to serve de-licious, nutritious mealsto your family. Contactour office at 356-3155 formore information ongrowing and cooking withherbs.

Question: I have nothad good luck gettingtrees to survive afterplanting them. Any ad-vice?
Answer: Here aresome tree planting tips tohelp your success rate.
» Get trees and shrubsplanted early in thespring. March and Aprilare the ideal months.
» The planting holeshould be 3-5 times widerthan the root ball, but nodeeper. Plant it on solidground, not loosened soil.
» The planting holeshould have wide, taper-ing sides, not vertical.Don’t smooth or “glaze”the sides, which couldprevent outward rootgrowth.
» Don’t amend thebackfill soil. Put the samesoil back in the hole aswhat came out of it.
» Don’t apply nitrogenfertilizer the first year.
» Don’t choose speciesthat are not hardy inKentucky. We are at thecold end of Zone 6, sodon’t plant Zone 7 or high-er plants.
» Make sure there isno trunk damage, branchcankers or other diseaseproblems on nurserystock you select.
» Avoid plants with asmall root ball or a loosetrunk in the root ball.
» Keep root-ball moist,but not sitting in water,during the time betweenpurchase and planting.Also water the tree imme-diately upon planting,with a good soaking. Aslight berm of soil aroundthe planting area will helpkeep the water fromrunning off.
» Protect leaves ofplants from wind whentransporting in vehiclefrom nursery to home
landscape.» Avoid
low, poorly-drained, orheavilycompactedplantingsites withheavy claycontent,unlessplant isknown to
be adapted to such condi-tions.
» Don’t plant near adownspout or other wetarea (especially Taxus(yew) bushes!)
» Don’t plant shade-loving trees in full sun, orvice versa.
» After getting thetree positioned in place inthe planting hole, removeall wires, twine, stringand labels which couldgirdle the trunk, stems orroots later on. After pack-ing soil around the baseof the root ball, carefullyremove and discard atleast the top third to one-half of the wire basketand burlap from aroundthe root-ball.
» For containerized(potted) plants, sheer offthe outer roots or makeseveral vertical cuts intothe root ball, then “teaseout” the outer roots whichmay have already beguncircling around the rootball.
» Try to avoid stakingthe tree, but if necessary,use two opposing stakesand a wide strap-likematerial that will not cutinto the trunk. Removestakes and straps withinone year.
» Keep turfgrass atleast several feet awayfrom the trunk, and apply3 inches of organic mulchin as large a mulch ringas possible.
» Never let the mulchtouch the trunk of thetree, to avoid bark decayand vole gnawing dam-age.
» Lawnmowers andstring trimmers kill a lotof trees. Make sure neverto knick the bark of trees.Proper mulching andwide mulch rings willhelp avoid this.
» Avoid improperwatering - little or nowatering, excessive wa-tering (especially prob-lematic in heavy claysoils), or frequent lightsprinkling. A one-inchtrunk caliper tree needs
10 gallons of water perweek, applied slowly allat one time. A 2-inchcaliper needs 15 gallons;3-inch: 20 gallons, etc.
