FLORENCE — Flowers willbloom for onemore spring in aformer nursery.
The former FlorenceNatorp’s at 8727 U.S. 42 willopenasaPipkin’sGardenMar-ket this spring as the propertyowners figure out their nextstep.
Pipkin’s president StevePipkin said the market will
carry annuals and perennials,though “probably not a lot oflarge plant materials.”
With a produce market andgarden center already in theBlue Ash and Montgomery,Ohio, area, Pipkin’s has hadsatellite locations before. Thisis the first time the companyhad expanded into NorthernKentucky, he said.
The developers had noticedone of the satellite stores andcontacted the company, Pipkinsaid.
“Our deal is we sell gardencenter-quality plants for less,”Pipkin said. “That’s our busi-ness model.”
Themarketwill openApril1and plans call for the retailerto remain open through theend of June, though Pipkinsays if business is good “wecould go later than that.”
Property owners ZallaCompanies opted to let Pipkinlease the property this springas it works through the proc-ess of getting the zoningchanged, said Zalla generalmanager David Heidrich.
“The challenge with the
property is that while it iszoned C-2, it has some kind ofrestriction that limits it to anursery,” Heidrich said.
Without restrictions, C-2zoning allows for a wide varie-ty of uses. As part of the zonechange application, Zalla leftout some of the permitted usesit has no plans of utilizing.
“We don’t need to put up aroller rink,” Heidrich said.
Opening up the permitteduses will allow Zalla somefreedom as it finally figuresout its plans for the property,he said.
“We don’t know what we
want todoout there,”Heidrichsaid.
The company is looking torepeat the success it’s had inprofessional buildings, hesaid.
“We’d like to develop officespace and we’d hope for med-ical offices,” Heidrich said.
Zalla submitted two differ-ent building plans for the landbecause the approval processcan take a while, he said.
“We’ve tried to be as flexi-ble as possible,”Heidrich said.

FLORENCE — A spring tradi-tion is on hiatus, but organizershope for its return.
Charity Night at the Tableshas been canceled this year.
For 11 years, Turfway Parkhosted the event that featuredcasino style games and raisedmoney for multiple local chari-ties. The event took place oneweek before Turfway’s SpiralStakes in March.
The Chamber organized the
event for the first 10 years, butpulled out as last year’s was be-ing organized, said Jack Gor-don, director of sales and mar-keting for Turfway Park.
“They decided it was not intheir best interest to run theevent late last year, sowedecid-ed to handle it,” Gordon said.
The event is run on sponsor-ship dollars, and many compa-nies who felt comfortable giv-ing money to the Chamber foran event didn’t have the samelevel of comfort giving moneyto a gaming organization, Gor-
don said.With sponsorship dollars
hard tocomeby,Turfwaydecid-ed to not hold the event thisyear, he said.
“Our plans are to resurrectit, or do something like it in fu-ture years,” Gordon said.
By takingabreak, it givesor-ganizers some extra time tomake improvements, he said.
“In our mind, it is not fin-ished. We just may need totweak it,” Gordon said.
After 11 years at Turfway Park, Charity Night at the Tables will notreturn for 2013. FILE PHOTO

Boone County leadersapproved Jan. 22 a resolu-tion that OK’d an agree-ment between the BooneCounty Fiscal Court andTurfway Park that would
allow public parking toserve those using theAeroParkwaymulti-use path.
Because of the popular-ity of the path constructedwith the recently openedAero Parkway, the countyhad offered a gravel park-ing lot located near Zig
Zag Connector, which con-nects Zig Zag Road andAero Parkway, for publicparking. The path is usedfor activities like walking,running and biking.
County AdministratorJeff Earlywine said resi-dents who live in closeproximity to the lot had at-tended apreviousmeetingof the Fiscal Court, “ex-pressing some concernsabout unintended conse-quences with the parkingfacility.”
“At the conclusion ofthatmeeting, thecourthaddirected the staff to ex-plore some other options –look into other areas andsee if we could find anoth-er location thatwould thenstill fit our need and the
purposes we had, but notresult in the parking lot atthe Zig Zag location.”
The county met withTurfway Park manage-ment, Earlywine said. Theresolution, which was lat-er unanimously approved,would “solidify the rela-tionship” where some 15parking spaces near theTurfway Park entrancewould be designated forpublic use.
“Theywould be right atthe entrance to TurfwayPark so that any multi-modal path user would beable to cross at the lightwithinacrosswalktogettothe south side of Turfwaywhere there is a sidewalk... then be able to travel ashort distance and get on
Aero Parkway and use thefacilities that are out thereand also on Ted Bushel-man Boulevard.”
According to Early-wine, it’s a two-year agree-ment “tomake sure thingswork out and both partiesare satisfied.”
He told commissionersthat “there was no moneythat was exchanginghands.” The county’s obli-gationwouldbe topreparesignagetodirectdriverstothe public parking area.
“We would probably goout periodically just to po-lice the area and makesure we’re being a goodneighbor and good userand then evaluate it,” saidEarlywine.
Oncetheresolutionwas
approved, Earlywine saidthe county’s Public WorksDepartment would “de-commission” the currentparking lot on Zig Zag byremoving the guardrail,gravel, restoring the ex-posed soil there and dis-continuing “any operationof that facility.”
After comments fromCommissioner CharlieWalton about access to thecurrent lot, Judge-execu-tive Gary Moore assured“therewon’t be any accessto it.”
“You’d just have an ex-isting edge of pavementwith a white line and nocurb cut or way to reallytraverse from the streetinto that area,” Earlywineexplained.

bringing the informationdown to the level of kin-dergarten students.”
The presentation in-cludedapreviewofdentaltools that the kids will seeat the dentist. A way,Laughner said, to elimi-nate intimidation. Stu-dents, however, weremost in a hurry to tryflossing and brushing theteeth on the large mouthmodel, which is about thesize of a kindergartner.They even signed apledge, promising to flossand brush their teeth.
“I’m teaching themthings that I didn’t reallyunderstand as a teenagerand they’re picking it up,”Laughner said. “I stressself responsibility. I tellthem that taking care oftheir teeth is their job andthese are the teeth they’realwaysgoing tohave.Thisis a longtime commit-ment.”
Her work with chil-dren began about17 yearsago when she started her
career as a dental hygien-ist. It’s something extrashe does on the side.
“I startedworkingwithkids in Guatemala. There,for many, by the fifthgrade their teeth are rot-ted,” she said. “Even here(in the U.S.) we have kidswith issues.What saddensme is what I’ve seen insome teens. I’ve had teen-agers come in with full-blown gingivitis.”
Laughner has made ithermission to reachout toyouth, in hopes of sparingthem the pain, physicallyand emotionally, poordental health can cause.
“Good dental healthhas a lot to do with yourself-esteem,” she said.“People are valuable andthe high self-esteemmakes you feel as valu-able as you are.”

FLORENCE — A 5-year-oldboydied,aclosefamilyfriend said, after manypeople, including the boy’ssister, tried to rescue himfrom a car that rolled intoa pond behind his home.
“He was like a son tome,” said a grief-strickenJosh Tobertga of FortWright.
He said hewaswith theboy’s mother at CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital Medi-cal Center, where the boydied Friday night.
Tobertga was too upsetto talk further, but earlierhe had told a reporterabout the events that cul-minated in the tragedy.
The boy, whose namewasn’t released, was withhis 9-year-old sister andthe family dog in their car.
They were planning togovisitarelative,but theirmother had forgottensomething, so she wentback inside the house
while the children were inthe car, Tobertga said.
During that brief peri-od, the vehicle rolleddownhill into a pond be-hind the house on SurreyCourt near HopefulChurchRoad,FlorencePo-lice Capt. Linny Cloydsaid.
The boy’s sister tried torescue him, but couldn’t,he said.
She and the family dogwere able to escape.
Then someone called911 just before 6 p.m.,Cloyd said.
Tobertga said the boy’ssistercalledhimtotellhimabout the accident – andshe was distraught overbeing unable to rescue herbrother, telling Tobertga:“Bubba kept saying, ‘Saveme, sissy, saveme.’ ”
When first-respondingFlorence police officersarrived, the car was onlypartly under water, Cloydsaid.
Officers – and a neigh-bor –waded in and tried to
get the boy out, but “thecar was sinking prettyquick,” and thoseattemptsfailed, Cloyd said.
“It sank,” Cloyd said.“At that point, we startedcalling in reinforce-ments.”
Fire crewswere able toattach a cable to the carand used a winch to pullthe car partly out of thewater, enough for a fire-fighter to break a passen-ger-side window and freethe boy, Cloyd said.
He didn’t know wheth-er the boy was consciouswhen he was whisked intoan ambulance that tookhim to Children’s.
“It was a ‘grab-and-go’situation,” Cloyd said.
The vehicle had beensubmerged for about 30minutes by the time crews
were able to rescue theboy.
The length of time lefteveryone worried abouthis chances for survival,Cloyd said.
But there was somehope that perhaps the sub-merged car hadn’t com-pletely filled with water,leaving apocket of air thatwould have enabled theboy to breathe.
“We’re praying at thispoint,” Tobertga told a re-porter by phone around 8p.m., suggesting a returncall in ahalf-houror so.Hesaid the little boy’s fatheris deceased.
So Tobertga, who oncehad been a neighbor of theboy’s family, acted as a fa-therfigurefortheboy.Thetwoenjoyed“guy-time”to-gether, Tobertga said.

BURLINGTON — Thetrial of a Union man ac-cused of killing his par-entswillnot takeplaceun-til more than four yearsafter their deaths.
Michael Moore, 42,who is facing the deathpenalty if convicted oftwocounts ofmurder,wasscheduled to stand trial inMay, but Feb. 28 his attor-neys asked a judge to de-lay the trial until Aug. 13.
Moore’s public defend-er Joanne Lynch told aBoone Circuit judge thatthe defense needs moretime to analyze evidencetested by the state crimelab.
“The Kentucky StatePolice lab has been ex-ceedingly slow, vergingon obstructive in gettingresults to both the com-monwealth and the de-fense in this case,” Lynchsaid.
Boone Circuit JudgeTony Frohlich agreed tothe delay, but expressedfrustration in yet anotherdelay in the case, whichhas been scheduled fortrial at least three times.
“We kept saying wewere on time for the lastyear, and all of the suddenwe’re not on time, that’swhat I’m having a hard
time grasping,” Frohlichsaid.
Lynch said that the de-fense got a large amountof DNA evidence last De-cember and now wants tohave it analyzed by an ex-pert.
Moore, a former War-ren County Sheriff’s dep-uty, is accused of shootinghis parents, Warren andMadge Moore, in theirUnion home in June 2009.The night of the shoot-ings, Moore called 911 toreport an intruder cameinto the house and startedshooting.
Moore was shot in theleg, but sheriff’s deputiesand prosecutors sayMoore made up the storyand shot himself. He wasarrested in July 2009.
Commonwealth’s At-torney Linda Tally Smithsaid she can’t remember acase, other than a coldcase, that has taken solong to get to trial.
The delays have beenespecially difficult forMichael Moore’s brother,Warren, who lives out ofstate.
“The victims’ surviv-ing son, he’s obviouslyfrustrated,” Smith said.She noted the brother hastalked to Michael Moore,who has been telling himfor a year and a half thatthe trialwould not happenin May.
WarrenMoore,who isacollege professor, has hadto cancel his summer andfall classes several times,Smith said.
“He wants to be hereevery minute that he pos-sibly can so he can under-stand what happened inthat house,” Smith said.
Smith also agreed thatpart of the problem hadbeen delays by statecrime lab.
“It appeared that theentire year of 2010 wentby and there was little tonothing done by the lab inconnection with thiscase,” Smith told thejudge.
Frohlich had to inter-veneandprompt the labtofinish the work, she said.
All the of lab work hasnow been completed, shesaid.
The parties will recon-vene on April 3 to makesure the case remains ontrack.
In addition to delayingthe trial, Frohlich alsoruled last week onMoore’s complaints thatthe Boone County jail isviolating his rights by re-quiring him to be shack-led while he meets withhis attorneys.
Lynch argued the jail’srestrictions make it hardfor Moore to hold papers,look at photos and demon-strate actions during hervisits.
Frohlich, in his order,told the attorneys that hehas no power over theelected jailer and cannottellhimhowtorunthejail.
“He is trained and ex-perienced in those mat-ters while the court isnot,” Frohlich wrote.

FLORENCE — Like afishout ofwater is a thor-oughbred off the racetrack,orso itwas learnedSaturday at TurfwayPark when Joseph theCat Fish bolted over therail andmade a run for it.
It was his very firststart, said Turfway Parkcommunications repre-sentative Sherry Pinson.Thewholewayaroundhewas fighting with thejockey perched on hisback. Suddenly, heducked out from underthe jockey and jumpedthe rail.
“He sailed right overthe rail,” Pinson said.“He cut across the park-
ing lot and ended up onThoroughbred Boule-vard where he wascaught by our starterSteve Peterman and oneof our vets.”
Catching a runawayhorse can be difficult.“They’re big, strong andfast,” Pinson said. “But,oncehegotby thecarshedid not knowwhat to do.”
Neither horse norjockeywere injured, oth-er than a few minorscrapes.
“It was an adventurefor all of us,” Pinson said.“If he doesn’t like racinghe sure has a career as ajumper. He just sailedright over the rail.”

UNION Sequels are rarelyas good as the original. TheCooper High School boys bas-ketball team went GodfatherII this season, improving onlast season while falling in theNinth Region semifinals forthe second straight year.
Cooper lost40-39 toHolmesin overtime March 2 at theBank of Kentucky Center,ending the season 24-6. Lastyear, the Jaguars were an up-start group with a 16-15 rec-ord, parlaying upsets to winthe 33rd District title and afirst-round regional game.
This season, the veteranJags were one of the regionalfavorites all year and won asecond district title after ral-lying to beat Conner in doubleovertime in the semifinals.Now, they hope to build a bas-ketball empire that can strikeback at other teams next yearand mark a strong return ofthe Jaguars.
“The younger guys under-stand how high the bar hasbeen set with these seniorsandwhat the guys have done,”said head coach Tim Sullivan.“We understood this year thatweweren’t the guyswhoweregoing to sneak up on people.Now we’re the team that peo-ple are going to be ready toplay against us.”
Cooper seniors areA.J.Col-lins, Louis Maniacci, TylerMorris and Drew Shelton.
The Jaguars’ journey to afirst-ever regional champion-ship took a heartbreaking stopagainst Holmes. Bulldogsstandout sophomore guardJames Bolden, who has drawninterest fromseveralDivisionI schools including all three inGreater Cincinnati, hit a 25-foot three-pointerwith2.8sec-onds to go in overtime to win
the game. Cooper then couldnot get a shot off on its end.
“You can live with thatshot,” Sullivan said. “I told thekids we didn’t lose this game.Webelieved andwedid every-thing we needed to do to winthisgame.Boldenmadeaplay.Aaron (Morgan) got a highhand on him. I don’t know howfar it was. It was deep.”
Collins and Maniacci ledCooper in scoring with 13apiece. ZachMcNeil had 10.
Cooper had a seven-pointlead in the third quarter, 28-21,but Holmes went on a13-3 runto take a four-point lead, 34-31.
Like he did 10 days earlierinaneliminationgameagainstConner, A.J. Collins hit athree-pointer tosendthegameto overtime, then this time headded another trey for thefirst basket of OT.
“Weknew itwouldbeawildone,” Sullivan said. “We knewA.J. could make that shot.”
Daquan Palmer tied thegame for Holmes with a trey.Cooper went on top 39-37 withtwo free throws fromMorganwith 29 seconds to play.
Cooper limited Holmes,who came in averaging morethan 67 points per game, to aseason-low 40, only the thirdtime the Bulldogs scored few-er than 50.
“We hang our hats on de-fense,” Sullivan said. “Theyunderstand that we have toguardpeople togiveourselvesa chance towin.Wedid that to-day. We know Bolden is prob-ably going to get 20 or more.Youhave tomakesure the restof the guys, you’re holdingthem down. A couple of shotshere and there and we couldhave come out on the otherside.”

FLORENCE — There was noquestion theBooneCountygirlsbasketball team would have adifferent look this season afterlosing Miss Basketball SydneyMoss and three other key front-court players from the 2012Ninth Region champions.
This year’s Rebels still car-ried the team tradition of play-ing their best basketball in thehomestretch. Boone lost 66-38to Notre Dame in the regionalsemifinals March 3 at the Bankof Kentucky Center. Boone fin-ished 18-12, winning nine of itslast 11 games. The Rebels alsowon the 33rd District after be-ing the four seed.
“We had a great February,and that was a tribute to thegirls,” said head coach NellFookes. “They kept workinghard and stayed focused. Thiswas a satisfying year with allthe new players, but they’re nothappy today.Theywantedmoreand they knew they could playbetter.”
Against Notre Dame, Boonetrailed 27-24 at halftime butthen fell victim to avintageper-formance from NDA standoutforward Olivia Voskuhl, whowill play hoops for ClevelandState.
Voskuhl scored NDA’s firstsixpointsof thethirdperiodandsparked an 11-0 run to put thegame away. Voskuhl had 13 ofher 23 points in the third periodandNDAscored 23 in the frameto lead by 18, 50-32.
“Olivia is a great player, andthey did a good job of postingher up andmoving her around,”Fookessaid. “Their lengthwasabigfactorondefenseagainstus.Notre Dame is a great team.”
Sophomore Alexis Switzerhad13points forBoone and sen-ior guard Jessica Jones eight.
Seniors are Jones and Lau-ren McQueary, who was theteam’s lonepostplayer in thero-tation.Switzer,areturningscor-er from last year, averaged 13points a game to be the team’stop scorer.
“To have two veteran guards(Jones and Switzer) means alot,” Fookes said. “They’vebeenhere before, they’re not intimi-dated. They’ve been the heartand soul of our team all year,particularly during this time.”
Dallis Knotts averaged 11points agamewithmore than60made threes. Macey Ford had8.6 points and 42 treys.
It took the Rebels a while toadjust to their smaller lineup.
“Sometimes this team thinksthey’re the old Boone County,”Fookes said. “That’s what hap-pened to us early. We’d missshots last year, and Sydneywould bail us out, and Lydia
(Nash) bails us out. These girlsfinally realized it’s not going tobe pretty when we win, we’renot going to win by a lot, andwehave to get on the floor.Wehaveto get all the 50-50 shots andwe’ll have to spread teams outand make them guard.”
Jones will play for Division ITennessee Tech.
“We knew we could what wewanted to do, we just had to be-lieve in ourselves,” Jones said.“At the beginning of the season,we were too caught up in whatpeople were saying about us,that we weren’t good enoughanddidn’t haveenough talent. Ittakes hard work and dedicationto the teamandwepicked itup.”
Ryle lost 60-44 to Highlandsin the regional semifinalsMarch 3 to finish the season 12-18.

SIDELINES
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Theymay not get any postseasonmemories this year. However,the last home game was story-book quality for the NorthernKentucky University women’sbasketball team.
The Norse beat Jacksonville76-71in overtimeMarch 2 at theBank of Kentucky Center. NKUis 15-11 and fourth place in theAtlantic SunConferenceat12-6.The Norse ended their confer-ence campaign with 10 wins intheir final 12 games.
“What a great way for ourseniors to go out,” said NKUhead coach Dawn Plitzuweit.“You can’t ask for a more spe-cial way for them to cap off theseason. Our four seniors wereleaders the entire season for usand the nucleus of our efforts.”
The Norse are ineligible forthe Atlantic Sun and NCAATournaments but with theirwinning record can be selectedfor the two other postseasontourneys, theWomen’sNationalInvitational Tournament andCollege Basketball Invitational(CBI). NKU officials estimateat least a slight chance foraCBIbid.
Eitherway, it was amemora-ble home finish for NKU’s fourseniors: Ellen Holton, TiaraHopper, Kelsey Simpson andGlen Este graduate JaimieHamlet.
NKU was four points downwith 22 seconds left regulation.Two free throws by ChristineRoushbrought theNorsewithintwo. Then after Jacksonvillemissed the front-end of a one-and-one free-throw opportuni-ty, the Norse raced downcourt.
Junior guard Kayla ThackerpassedtoHoltonforawideopenlayup,which shemade to tie thegame.
“All I did was run. I just tookoff,”Holton said. “Kayla got theball in the lane and they all kindof ran toherand Iwasat the rimwaiting for it. She told me (lat-er) she was going to shoot it un-til she sawme open.”
NKU controlled the OT, withfreshman Rianna Gayheartscoring the eventual winningbasket. She had 13 points andfive assists. Hopper, fromLouisville, finished her careerwith a career-high 17 reboundsto go with 12 points.
“This is a really specialgroup of seniors,” Plitzuweitsaid. “This is a hard transition.Not only is it a new coachingstaff, but a new level of play. To
finish their careers the waythey have really speaks vol-umes to who they are and howtough they are.”
The men’s team had an evencrazier win, rallying to beatJacksonville 66-62. The Norseendedtheconferencecampaignat 9-9, good for a fourth-placetie, and11-15 overall. The Norsewill end their season in Califor-nia, playing at West Coast Con-ference foe San FranciscoMarch 14.
NKU was down 13, 58-45,with 2:36 to go in the game be-fore finishing on a 21-4 run.NKU forced six turnovers andtook the lead with 20 secondsleft on two free throws fromfreshman AnthonyMonaco.
Seniors are Eshaunte Jones,EthanFaulknerandErnestWat-son. Jones scored his1,000th ca-reer point Feb. 28.

“The great thing about thiswas looking up there and seeingsomanykids in this gym,”Headcoach David Bezold said. “Nowthey’ll be bugging their momand dad to come back here andenjoy this atmosphere.”
Both NKU teams werepicked to finish last in the con-ference but the basketball pro-grams took inspiration fromtheir fall counterparts, particu-larly volleyball, which finished25-7 and third place in theleague.
“It all startedwith thevolley-ball team,” Bezold said. “Whenthey went out and had that typeof success, I think every kid inthe university went ‘You knowwhat,we’ll beOK.’Wehavea lotof pride here and we believewhen we go out there we’ll beable to compete.”

Avoid sequestrationAswemoveahead in this tax-
filing season, I wonder howmany people in our communitywill have difficulty getting thehelp they need from the Inter-nal Revenue Service to answertheir tax questions. I’m afraidthe number will be substantialif Congress fails to avoid thefederal budget cuts occurringbecause of sequestration.
AsPresidentofChapter73ofthe National Treasury Employ-ees Union, I can tell you that In-ternal Revenue Service em-ployeeswant to serve thepublicefficiently and effectively – butare working this filing seasonwith 5,000 fewer employeesthan just two years ago. Now,along with other governmentemployees, my members facethe prospect of days of unpaidfurlough because of sequestra-tion. That’s not good for themorfor our country. What’s more,the Internal Revenue Servicecollects 93 percent of all ourgovernment’s revenue so fur-loughing Internal Revenue Ser-vice workers will increase thedeficit.
What’s so frustrating is thatfederal workers already havecontributed $103 billion to defi-cit reduction and economic re-covery – more than any othergroup—yet are among the firstto be hit by the severe budgetcuts under sequestration. Themuch better path for us allwould be to avoid sequestrationby enacting a balanced deficitreduction measure.

I glumly watched the polit-ical RV roll down the street.The country song “Sheriff ofBoone County” was blaringfrom the speakers. Untilthen, I had always liked thatsong. It was 1985 and a pop-ular incumbent, the late Sher-iff Elmer Wright, was in anelection to keep his title. Hehad chosen the hit song withthe same title for his cam-paign.
I would have applaudedhis choice except for I wasknee-deep in my own cam-paign at the time. In my veryfirst bid for public office, Iwas hoping to become theSheriff of Boone County my-self. Though at the time itwas an unpleasant experi-ence with a formidable oppo-nent, the years have made itan amusing memory of aneventual friend and unde-niably capable lawman. Notto mention valuable cam-paigning experience.
The memory came to mindrecently as I was working inFrankfort on a Senate JointResolution (SJR 25) to honorKenny Price, popular BooneCountian and artist behindseveral hit songs, including“Sheriff of Boone County.”
the road often. That’s actuallywhere I met him in 1977. Ihad recently joined the Flor-ence Police Department andstopped for a break on mypatrol at the White Castle on42 and LaCresta. Kenny wasthere having coffee, part ofhis daily routine. It was likehaving a miniature “Hee-Haw” set here in BooneCounty.
I didn’t know then thatKenny would be playing thebackground music for manyof my memories in the yearsto come. For many Amer-icans, Kenny’s voice echoedacross the radio waves andbecame part of the sound-track of our lives. He was abeloved fixture on “Hee-Haw,” sure to provide re-freshing laughs with the fam-
ily gathered around the tele-vision on a Saturday evening.
Kenny was a talented mu-sician and singer, a giftedentertainer and an all-aroundnice guy. We here in BooneCounty were privileged tocall him a neighbor andfriend. More than 25 yearslater, we all still feel his loss.
I hope this memorial in hisname will help honor theindelible mark he left onBoone County and Americanculture.

With only one full week togo the 2013 session of theKentucky General Assemblyremains deadlocked on thepassage of pension reform ora method to pay for what isreferred to as the ActuariallyRecommended Contributionto maintain sustainability inthe Kentucky RetirementSystems.
The Senate approved aplan recommended by thePension Reform Task Forcewhich created a hybrid cashbalance system for and elim-inated a guaranteed cost ofliving adjustment. HouseDemocrats approved a com-mittee substitute on Feb. 27which restored the definedbenefit component found inthe currently cash strappedplan and restored languageto guarantee a cost of livingadjustment. House Repub-licans opposed the measurethat would simply maintain astructure analysts indicatedwould result in future pen-sion costs as high as 60 per-cent of employee wages in
the next 20years.
More trou-bling to somewas a planoffered byHouse Speak-er GregStumbo toexpand gam-ing throughthe KentuckyLottery Com-
mission to make up the pen-sion shortfall. Speaker Stum-bo explained the plan wouldnot begin providing anyfunds to offset the shortfalluntil 2014, and that even thenthe plan would generate lessthan one third of what isneeded to fund the plan.
House Republican LeaderJeff Hoover offered anamendment to the speaker’sfunding plan which wouldhave cut $70 million annuallyfrom the amount the gover-nor can spend on personalservice contracts, coupledwith a 10 percent reductionin executive branch person-
nel costs. The Hoover planwould have provided $70million for each of the nexttwo years to make up thepension shortfall. Thatamount would have beenincreased to $142 in yearthree while restoring $25million to the state educationbudget restricted to the pur-chase of school books.
Because House rules re-quire all amendments to befiled 24 hours in advance ofthe vote, even when the billwas not voted on by theHouse Appropriations andRevenue Committee at 7 thenight before, House Demo-cratic leaders ruled Hoover’samendment ineligible for avote. There was an effort tosuspend the rules, but again,House Democrats refused toconsider the Hoover plan.The House approved SpeakerStumbo’s plan along astraight party line vote lateFeb. 27, falling short of the60 votes needed to a approvea revenue measure in anodd-year session. Speaker
Stumbo said he did not reallythink he needed the 60 votesand sent the bill to the Senatefor consideration.
The Senate voted on Feb.28 to reject the Housechanges to the pension over-haul. The bill will now mostlikely go to a conferencecommittee where the twosides will try to work outtheir differences. Senateleaders have indicated theywill send the revenue mea-sure back to the House, re-fusing to consider a plan thatfails to meet the 60 votethreshold provided for inSection 36 of the KentuckyConstitution.

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.”

My friend Laura Noeand I were chatting acouple of weeks ago. Sheand husband Oakleywere having their mapletrees tapped for the an-
trees that I’m deter-mined next year to tapours. Actually, we did tapour trees when my boyswere little, but had noidea just how to go aboutit and I recall we got solittle sap that we juststuck our fingers in itand tasted it raw.
Tapping maple trees isan ancient art. Laura toldme tapping should bedone in mid to late winter– nights in the 20s anddays sunny and in the 40s– so it’s a timely venture.Our Tristate park dis-tricts hold lots of funmaple syrup events forthe family, so I hope youtake advantage.
The recipes requestedfor this week fell intotune, as well. I had re-quests for “a differentsalad dressing for Easterthat’s not too heavy” anda request for “one morerecipe for chunky grano-la.” I’ve shared my origi-nal recipe for chunkygranola before but havean even chunkier onetoday.
Maple and balsamicsalad dressing
Serve over mixedgreens or baby spinachwith thinly sliced applesor strawberries, thinlysliced red onion and fetacheese. Good served witha sprinkling of candied orhoneyed nuts on top.Check out my blog forthat recipe.
Whisk together:1⁄3cup white balsamic
vinegar 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 in theBible. This is my chunki-est yet – really goodchunks but remember,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
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 honey
2-3 teaspoons vanilla1⁄2teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325degrees. Put a piece ofparchment on large cook-ie sheet (about 15 inchesby 12 inches). Sprayparchment.
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 cereal,no sugar needed!
Tip from Rita’skitchen
You can use any com-bo of seeds, even all sun-flower. Millet gives adelicious crunch andcontains protein and iron.Chia, like flax, is a greatsource of Omega 3s, butdoesn’t have to be groundto get the benefit. It alsoabsorbs a lot of waterand curbs the appetite.Hemp is not what youthink, it comes from acompletely differentplant. Huge amounts ofOmega 3s and proteinthere, too.

Question:Do I need toprunemy landscape treesand shrubs andmy fruittrees now before theystart to bloom out?
Answer: Pruning dur-ing the late winter andearly spring allows forthe removal of damagecaused bywinter winds,drought and disease. Thewounds caused by prun-ing healmost quickly thistime of year, just as newgrowth is emerging onthe plant.
Pruning also allowsremoval of crowded orhazardous branches.When pruning trees, thesize of the tree does notneed to be reduced toomuch in one season. Limitthe pruning amount toone-fourth of the tree’s
volume.Start bythinningoutbranchesby cuttingthem offclose to thetree’strunk orback to alarge limb.
Leavethe short, swollen base ofthe branch, known as thecollar, intact. Cutting thecollar off (which resultsfrom “flush cuts”) wouldprevent the plant fromgrowing over the woundcaused from pruning. Ifthe branch is cut backonly part way, there willlikely be a crowded re-growth of new brancheswhere the cut wasmade.Never leave branchstubs.
Do not seal or paint thewounds resulting frompruning because that willonly delay the tree’s“healing” process. Blacktar, tree paint andwounddressing have beenknown for decades to beharmful to trees, leadingto sunscald, internal de-cay, and poor wound clo-sure.
The showy, early-blooming shrubs and
trees like forsythia, lilac,viburnum, and redbudshould not be pruneduntil after they havebloomed. That way, theflowers will have beenenjoyed and the plant canrecover, grow, and pro-ducemore buds for flow-ers the following year.
Most fruit trees (otherthan peach, apricot andnectarine), shade trees(likemaples and oaks)and evergreens can bepruned now, while theyare still dormant.Waituntil June to prune thetrue pines. Summer-blooming plants can all bepruned now, before budbreak and new growthoccurs. These includegoldenraintree, Rose ofSharon, pink spireas,Potentilla (bush cinque-foil), butterflybush, beau-tybush, summersweetClethra, PeegeeHydran-gea, Hills of SnowHy-
Pruning is not limitedto a certain time of year.Homeowners can pruneat any time if they noticebranches and limbs thatare damaged either fromweather, disease or in-sects. Pruning is invig-orating for the plants in ahome landscape, so oneshould not necessarilythink of pruning as ameans of size control. Ifyou have a plant that hasgrown out-of-bounds,pruningmay not be theanswer – youmay need toconsider replacing theplant with one that willreach a smaller size atmaturity.
