Within four days, 75 de-partments signed up to ac-cept cookies.

Grizovic, who worksfrom her Walton home asa virtual assistant, has anetwork of trusted volun-teers who will bake cook-ies to deliver to police onDec. 22.

A total of 115 depart-ments are signed up to re-ceive cookies in Colorado,

Florida, Georgia, Indiana,Kentucky, North Caroli-na, Ohio, Virginia andWest Virginia.

A total of 6,000 policeofficers will get two cook-ies apiece, for a total of12,000 cookies.

Most of the work hasinvolved organizing thusfar, Grizovic said. Bakingwill begin in earnest thisweek.

According to Grizovic,wives of police officersare saying they’ve neverbeen worried like they arenow.

The Cookies for a Cop

website notes, “As we allknow, the news has beenrough and our officershave been under a tre-mendous amount ofstress. They are in a timeof so much uncertaintyand unrest. They are tiredand in knowing peoplecare and care enough toshow an incredible act of#sweetkindness like thiscan be a game changer.”

“My whole point rightnow is that the police justreally need some supportand need to know that peo-ple appreciate them,” Gri-zovic said.

As the shopping seasonspeeds up, local police andshopper center repre-sentatives have some uni-versal advice to helpmake a trip to shop stress-

free.Driving slow in park-

ing lots is a good idea, saidEd Burk, Cold Spring po-lice chief.

There are more peoplebacking out of parkingspaces, he said. And theholiday season is alsowhen accidents are typi-cally highest at shoppingcenters, Burk said.

“I would be extra cau-tious when drivingthrough parking lots dur-ing the holiday season be-cause more people areout, and they get distract-ed,” he said.

For preventing theftsat shopping centers, com-mon sense comes intoplay, he said.

“Lock your cars, and

put your stuff in thetrunk,” Burk said.

Retailers, workingwith police, are workingto make a shopping tripeasier and safer too, hesaid.

The property managerat the 350,000-square-footCold Spring Crossingshopping center off Alex-andria Pike near the AAHighway, hires off-dutyofficers to ease trafficand perform extra pa-trols, Burk said.

Officers typicallywork Friday evening andnoon to 7 p.m. Saturdayand Sunday shifts. Thereare extra shifts the weekbefore Christmas, he said.

“It’s extra security forthe customers who are up

there,” Burk said.Officers also have the

ability to manually con-trol traffic lights at the in-tersection of CrossroadsBoulevard at U.S. 27 whentraffic is heavy, he said.

Crestview Hills TownCenter property managerChristine Wesselkampersaid the property is set upfor a stress-free environ-ment because parking isconvenient and that everyplace is handicap andstroller accessible.

“Our customers canjust park near a store andget in and out, instead ofhaving to navigatethrough an enclosedmall,” Wesselkampersaid. “We’re trying to setup for a stress-free desti-

nation.”According to Wessel-

kamper, most stores fol-low Dillard’s hours andFriday evenings andweekends are “the crazi-est” times to shop.

“The best time to shopis during the day ... If peo-ple have a day off, or timeafter work or time duringlunch,” she said.

Wesselkamper saidlast-minute gift cards arealways a good option.

“We sell a gift card forthe entire town center,”she said. “So it’s a greatlast-minute gift if you’renot sure what to get some-body. It’s like giving thegift of shopping. It’s goodat any of our retailers andrestaurants.”

NEWPORT — CampbellCounty is working on adeal to buy a portion of theformer Trauth Dairyplant at 16. E. 11th St. for$395,000.

Campbell County Ad-ministrator Robert Ho-rine introduced a resolu-

tion at the Dec. 3 FiscalCourt meeting in Alexan-dria to execute a sale con-tract and come back tocommissioners for finalapproval. The resolutionfailed to garner any sup-port for passage and willbe brought up Dec. 17.

Judge-executive StevePendery said if commis-sioners approve the pur-chase the plan is to use theparking lot on the proper-ty and a building for stor-ing voting machines. TheCampbell County Admini-stration Building in New-port is on the opposite sideof 11th Street of the for-mer Trauth Dairy plant.

Trauth ended productionof milk in Newport in 2011.

Tentative price for aparking lot and 65,000-square-foot building is$395,000, Horine said.

Campbell County isseeking only part of theTrauth Dairy plant com-plex, Horine said. The cityof Newport did approvethe purchase of a differ-ent piece of the Trauthproperty at a Dec. 1 citycommission meeting, hesaid. Newport agreed topurchase the southeastportion of the Trauth plantused as a trucking facility,Horine said. Calls to New-port’s city manger, Thom-

as J. Fromme, have notbeen returned.

“The two things, whileunrelated, they sort of didhappen in concert witheach other,” Horine said.

Parking space at 16. E.11th St. is enough for allcounty employees work-ing in Newport to use, hesaid.

“We understand fromfeedback that we re-ceived from the FiscalCourt that there is someconcern about takingsuch a significant actionright before the end of oneFiscal Court term and thebeginning of another,”Horine said.

A8 • CCF RECORDER • DECEMBER 18, 2014 NEWS

My most fa-vorite Christmassong is “We needa little Christ-mas.” But rightnow, I need alittle more time.I’m sure you canrelate! Regard-less, I still say agift from thehand is a giftfrom the heart.

And I’m sharing one of myall-time favorites today.

Better than bestchocolate clusters

“A friend” contributed this.The ultimate cluster, really!Grandson Jack looked at thephoto of these and said, “Theylook so yummy.”

But, Jack has braces so hecan only enjoy the photo.Here’s my adaptation:

20 oz. pkg. Nestlé’s darkchocolate chips

8-9 ozs. dried cranberriesor cherries - I used cherriesand cut them up a bit

8 ozs. slivered almonds,toasted

8 plump dried apricots,diced or snipped with scissors

Coarse sea salt to sprinkle -just a teeny bit

Roast almonds in 350 degreeoven just until fragrant andgolden, stirring a couple timesfor a total of 10-15 minutes. Becareful as they can burn easily.

Melt chocolate in a nonstickpan over low heat. Removefrom heat when some lumpsremain and stir until smooth.Stir in everything but salt.Scoop out on sprayed pans orwaxed paper.

Sprinkle very, very lightlywith salt (just a few granules)and refrigerate until hard. Istore mine in the frig betweenpieces of parchment.

Paula’s foolproofstanding rib roast

Here’s one from Paula Deen,who, when I interviewed herway back when, said this is hermost popular and perfect reci-pe for rib roast. This cooks at alower temperature so you won’tget the splatter in the oven thatcomes with higher heat recipes,like the one I’m sharing on mysite. For Larry, who wants tomake sure this expensive cut ofmeat that he’s buying will turnout well.

1 (5-pound) standing ribroast

1 tablespoon House Sea-soning, recipe follows

House seasoning:Keeps in cool place, cov-

ered, up to 6 months.

1 cup salt1/4 cup black pepper1/4 cup garlic powderTip from Rita’s kitchen:I usually divide this in half

and then add sweet paprika totaste and a couple finely crum-bled bay leaves to one half anduse that as a general purposestew, etc. seasoning.

Allow roast to stand at roomtemperature for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 de-gree F. Rub roast with HouseSeasoning; place roast on a rackin the pan with the rib sidedown and the fatty side up.Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven.Leave roast in oven but do notopen oven door for 3 hours.About 30 to 40 minutes beforeserving time, turn oven to 375degrees F and reheat the roast.

Important: Do not remove roastor re-open the oven door fromtime roast is put in until readyto serve.

Rita’s foolproof standingrib roast.

I don’t have room for this inmy column, so check out mysite, Abouteating.com for therecipe.

Can you help?Ranch dressing like Taco

Casa. I always enjoy talking toGene Kennedy, owner of thishometown restaurant chain.For a while now, I’ve been get-ting requests for his ranchdressing.

When I asked, or rathertried to coerce him, for therecipe, he chuckled and more

or less said “no dice.” Legionsof his fans have asked for thisover the years so you’ll justhave to go and enjoy it at TacoCasa, one of our premier ethnicrestaurants.

BTW, Gene is going to be aguest on my cable show “Lovestarts in the kitchen” so I’ll askhim to feature it for tasting. Ifyou have a similar one, plsshare.

Coming soon:Laszlo’s restaurant stuffed

cabbage rolls.

‘Tis the season – holidaysand increased flu activity oftengo together. Flu season typical-ly peaks between Decemberand February, but significantactivity can occur as late asMay.

This year, monitoring by theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention shows a con-cerning trend: One of the main

viruses circu-lating so farthis season isnot matched tothe vaccine.This virus, astrain of theH3N2, hashistoricallybeen associat-ed with moresevere illnessand mortality,especially in

older people and young chil-dren.

But, there are three thingsyou can do to protect yourselfthis flu season.

First, get vaccinated. Thevaccine still has value, of-fering protection against otherstrains of flu that circulate.

Antibodies created throughvaccination with one influenzavirus can offer some protec-tion against different influenzaviruses (this is called cross-protection). If you get the flu,the vaccine may give yourbody the help it needs to makethe illness less severe.

If you haven’t been vacci-nated yet, please add it to yourholiday to-do list; or if youhave a loved one who hasn’tbeen vaccinated yet, make apoint to either remind him orher to do so or take them.There are lots of choices aboutwhich vaccine to get, it’s con-venient, and most people canget it for little or no cost.

Second, take everyday pre-ventive actions like coveringcoughs and sneezes, staying

away from sick people andwashing your hands often.These steps will protect youfrom flu, common colds and avariety of other illnesses.

Third, if you become ill withcommon flu symptoms, in-cluding fever and body aches,contact your health care pro-vider. Early treatment withanti-viral medications, if ap-propriate, can lessen the sever-ity of the flu.

For millions of people everyseason, the flu can mean afever, cough, sore throat, run-ny or stuffy nose, muscleaches, fatigue, and miserabledays spent in bed – and thoseare the (relatively) lucky ones.

More than 200,000 peopleare hospitalized in the UnitedStates from flu complications

each year. The flu also can be deadly.

Between 1976 and 2006 esti-mates of yearly flu-associateddeaths in the United Statesrange from a low of about3,000 to a high of about 49,000people during the most severeseason.

Last flu season, five peoplein Northern Kentucky diedfrom flu complications.

The flu is just starting tocirculate in Northern Ken-tucky. Take steps now, includ-ing getting vaccinated, to pro-tect yourself through the holi-days and the entire flu season.

Dec. 11 questionThe Northern Kentucky

Chamber of Commerce hasendorsed a Local Option SalesTax as a legislative priority.Through a citizen vote, citiesand/or counties could raisethe sales tax a maximum of 1percent to pay for prede-termined capital projects,with the tax being removedupon completion? Would yousupport or oppose this legisla-tion? Why?

“No. Never saw a tax puton the books that didn’t stayon the books ... and beraised.”

Karen Swanson Dietz

“If it was truly removed, Iwould support it.”

Terri Due

“Nope. Pay too muchnow.”

John Plunkett

“Nope. We are alreadytaxed too much. I am sick oftaxes upon taxes. Seems likethe Chambers of Commerceare always so willing toreach into citizens’ pockets.”

Howard C. Aubrey

“I agree that once a tax ison the books, it is rarely (ifever) removed. Our localoption in Dallas increasedsales tax to 8.25 percent. Ididn’t complain too muchthough because we did notpay state income tax. Differ-ent story here. I would hopethat NKY could come upwith a better plan for capitalprojects.”

Brenda Turner Janning

“Could some of thesecapital projects be financedby grants or federal funds?”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is the best Christmas orholiday present you evergave? What is the best presentyou ever received?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to via email.Send your answers tondaly@community press.com withCh@troom in the subject line.

There is nothing about thedeath or near death of a child,at the hands of their caretak-er, which can be viewed posi-tively. Despite this sad andstark reality, we at PreventChild Abuse Kentucky(PCAK) are encouraged bythe release of the second an-nual report from the ChildFatality and Near FatalityExternal Review Panel.

This report reflects thework of a dedicated and vol-untary multi-disciplinarygroup of professionals (in-cluding a PCAK representa-tive). The panel’s commit-ment to data-driven, solution-focused recommendations arereadily apparent in this re-port.

PCAK has long advocatedfor the establishment of the

panel. Westrongly sup-port the needto conductin-depth re-views of everychild mal-treatmentfatality andnear fatality.This reviewmust be con-ducted withtwo goals in

mind – system improvementand prevention.

We are equally committedto the belief this review mustbe conducted in an atmos-phere of transparency andaccountability. While certain-ly not a final step, the recent-ly released report does repre-sent a significant step in the

right direction. It should alsobe acknowledged this hopefulprogress is largely due to acommitment made by thecurrent administration, thelegislature and many advo-cates across the state.

While this report is encour-aging, it is truly just an initialstep. If we are going to ad-dress this tragic issue, wemust commit to ongoing work,dialogue, and perseverance inthe face of challenges. Asclearly indicated in the re-port, change must occur with-in multiple systems and at alllevels of governmental lead-ership. The panel must in-crease its capacity to gatherdata, engage in critical analy-sis and develop specific rec-ommendations.

The mental health system,

law enforcement, courts andsocial services must eachcommit to shepherdingchange throughout all of itsprograms.

The General Assemblymust continue its bipartisansupport of the panel; and holditself accountable to providethe statutory framework andfiscal resources necessary toimplement panel recommen-dations. The administrationmust continue to support thepanel, while assuring the lev-el of autonomy and transpar-ency necessary for the panelto earn public trust.

Lastly, and perhaps mostimportantly, every citizen ofthe commonwealth mustmake a commitment to childabuse prevention. This willinvolve each of us becoming

more aware of the risks fac-ing children today.

We all have a responsibilityfor a two-pronged approach toprevention.

We must each commit toadvocating for the system’schange. We must also displayan equal commitment to sup-porting the families and chil-dren around us. This commit-ment is perhaps the mostcritical; as we are ultimatelyresponsible for the health andsafety of the children in ourcommunity.

Heroin is pure death. It isdevastating families in allcorners of our state.

As certain abused prescrip-tion drugs have become harderto obtain, heroin use has sky-rocketed. Every room of Ken-tuckians that I meet includesparents, relatives or friendswho’ve lost loved ones to her-oin.

And the data shows we canexpect more – in 2013, 31.9percent of overdose deathscame from heroin, up 60 per-cent from 2012. Put this in thecontext that more Kentuckiansnow die from drug overdosesthan car wrecks, and it is clear– heroin must be stopped. De-lay equals death.

Heroin legislation died in2014 because what legislatorsdisagreed on stopped themfrom passing the many provi-sions they agreed on. With the2015 session approaching, theanswer is clear – sit down now,identify areas of agreement,and pass a bill immediately.Lives depend on it.

From my discussions withfamilies, law enforcement,legislators and doctors, I be-

lieve there isagreement onthese steps:

» Manyoverdosedeaths couldbe preventedif drug userscould reportoverdoseswithout fear ofarrest. A GoodSamaritanLaw, passed by

20 other states, will encouragereporting and save lives.

» Naloxone, which reversesan overdose if applied quickly,is an effective tool to preventoverdoses. Like 24 other states,we must expand Naloxone’savailability to first responders.

I also believe legislatorsshould agree on two othertactics:

» While sentencing reduc-tion may be appropriate forsome drugs, it is wrong forheroin.

Penalties for dealing heroinmust be so severe they dis-suade a dealer from selling,and we must ensure a signifi-cant portion of any sentence is

actually served. » Heroin addiction is in-

credibly difficult to beat.While new laws provide cov-erage for some treatment, it istoo short, and doesn't work formany addicts. Comprehensivetreatment must be accessible.

Heroin has touched or willtouch – and possibly take – thelives of your family, friends, orneighbors. It has in my neigh-borhood. The first person I metin that neighborhood was a12-year-old girl who volun-teered to babysit. Recently, herbrother died of an overdose thefirst time he tried heroin. Onebad choice on one bad nightrobbed her family of theirloved one.

We must ensure that youngman and many others have notdied in vain, and use their sto-ries to educate all Kentuckiansthat taking heroin – even once– will wreck your life and thosearound you.

FT. THOMAS — Because statefootball championships are anexpectation at Highlands, slowstarts to the basketball seasoncan also be expected.

This year, the Bluebirds aretrying to buck that trend, de-spite gaining nine of the 13members of the varsity hoopsroster one week before the sea-son opener. Those nine footballplayers are committed tobringing their winning mental-ity to the hardwood as they ad-just to the seasonal transition.

“Getting kids late from foot-ball is a challenge, but it is ourphilosophy at Highlands thatwe expect to be successful atwhatever we do, athleticallyand academically,” said headcoach Kevin Listerman. “Ourkids put in a lot of time for bothfootball and basketball. CoachWeinrich and his staff encour-age the kids to play othersports. It is a mindset that suc-cess will follow hard work.”

The basketball team has hadshootarounds on Sundaysthroughout the fall, which al-lowed the football players tojoin their basketball team-mates and coaches. Still, theconstant movement of basket-ball is a shock to the system af-ter the short bursts of footballcompetition.

“Football conditioning andbasketball conditioning arevery different,” said seniorJustin Weyer, a wide receiverin the fall and guard in the win-ter. “It’s a process. You have toadjust from a football mental-ity to a basketball mentality.”

The coaching staff under-stands that the football playershave to make both physical andmental adjustments in a shortamount of time. Those playersenjoyed one day off after win-ning a state title on December 6before joining their basketballteammates in practice on Dec.8. It will take a few more weeksbefore they are back in basket-ball shape, but that will not bean excuse for the Bluebirds.

“As far as conditioning goes,competitors love to compete.We try to make practice ascompetitive as we can to playour way into basketball shape,”said Listerman. “We also try torotate the players particularly

early in games to help them gettheir wind.”

The extended football sea-son benefits the basketball

team in the long run. Freshmencompete with varsity playersin practice throughout the pre-season. The young and still rel-

atively fit coaching staff willalso join in to add bodies in pre-season scrimmages.

“I tell the freshmen, ‘Good

news is you get the head coachfor the first five weeks of prac-tice; bad news is I’m going tocoach you like you’re the varsi-ty,’” said Listerman. “Theyquickly learn what it means tobring it to practice every day.We spend a lot of time doingskill development during thattime as well.”

field. Still, they were excit-ed to get back on the court.

“It felt real nice to

knock the rust off,” saidWeyer.

There were plenty ofpositives to take awayfrom the season opener.The team held a fourth-quarter lead, before St.Henry pulled away. Parker

Harris led the way with 16points, followed by Mitch-ell Cain who added 14. Thestudent section, still buzz-ing from the footballteam’s state title one weekprior, brought its A game.

“I loved the way we

competed. We didn’t panic.We have to learn how tofinish it off,” said Lister-man. “I was also ecstaticabout the atmosphere inthe gym. The ‘O Zone’ wasawesome. It reminded meof what it was like when I

After years of sus-tained success in DivisionII, including 14 straightwinning seasons, North-ern Kentucky Univer-sity’s women’s soccerteam made history in2014. The Norse posted awinning record for thefirst time as a Division Iprogram. The Norse fin-ished the season 9-8-3, ad-vancing to the semifinalsof the Atlantic Sun tour-nament.

The program thatgrew accustomed to post-ing double-digit wins ev-ery season struggled inits first two season transi-tioning from Division IIto Division I. The Norseposted back-to-back sixwin seasons, losing 21matches during that span.This year was a turningpoint.

“The first two yearswere challenging. We’redefinitely moving for-

ward,” said head coachBob Sheehan. “We dem-onstrated that we havemade growth. We’re defi-nitely making strides.”

The team could sense ashift in the offseason. Theyoung squad -- there werejust two seniors on theroster -- entered this sea-son with more confidencethan any of their previousDivision I seasons.

“It was a totally differ-ent atmosphere thisyear,” said redshirt soph-omore Aubrey Muench.“We honed in on our indi-vidual footwork and Ithink that really showedthis season.”

Muench, a NewportCentral Catholic gradu-ate, transferred to NKUafter spending her red-shirt season at Louisville.She relished the chance toplay near home and at ahigh level.

If NKU had the Divi-sion I presence it now haswhen Muench was beingrecruited from NewCath,

she likely would havecommitted right out ofhigh school. She is nowspreading the message ofNKU soccer to currentnorthern Kentucky highschool student-athletes.

“We can set an exam-ple and let high schoolgirls know that they canplay close to home. It’sbeen awesome having myfamily and friends here towatch all of our homegames,” said Muench.“We want to keep the localgirls local.”

Norse recruits haveembraced the opportuni-ty to turn the programback into a perennial win-ner. On this year’s roster,21 of the 27 women arefrom the Greater Cincin-nati/Northern Kentuckyarea. They immediatelybought in to the pro-gram’s new mission as amember of the A-Sun.

“The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky areais a very strong area. Ourgoal is to attract that local

talent,” said Sheehan.“We talk to recruits aboutbuilding a strong DivisionI program from its in-

fancy. Our prospectsseem to like that chal-lenge.”

Muench scored a goaland had an assist as theNorse earned their firstA-Sun tournament vic-tory, defeating NorthFlorida, 2-0. The NewCathgrad will be a leader forthe Norse in 2015.

“She’s an outstandingathlete,” said Sheehan.“She has tremendous up-side.”

She spent the past off-season gaining 1,500-2,000 touches in individ-ual training sessions. Thethree-sport star at New-Cath is still getting usedto being a full-time soccerplayer.

“It was a little differ-ent. Every winter, I ex-pect to go to basketball,”said Muench. “It is aweird transition havingnothing to do in the win-ter. Physically and men-tally I can keep the samementality.”

The extra repetitions

and focus on individualtraining helped Muenchfinish tied for second onthe team with 13 points.All of NKU’s top scorerswill return in 2015. Theyare eager to get started onanother fruitful offsea-son.

“We had a tremendousspring and feel that thatcarried over into the fallseason,” said Sheehan.“Moving forward into thisoffseason, our focus is onindividual improve-ment.”

With so many experi-enced players back in2015, the Norse are excit-ed to build on their 2014success.

They also understandthat expectations will behigher within the pro-gram and that opponentswill give the Norse morerespect next season.

“It will be 10 timesharder than it was lastseason,” said Muench.“We are held to a muchhigher standard now.”

Aubrey Muench, a NewportCentral Catholic graduate,goes to the ball in NKU’s 2-1overtime victory over RobertMorris Sept. 14.

Dennis Pelfrey has bigshoes to fill. He replacesFrontier League Hall ofFamer Fran Riordan asmanager of the FlorenceFreedom.

Riordan was hired bythe Beloit Snappers, theSingle-A Midwest

League affiliate of theOakland A’s, after lead-ing the Freedom to a 190-194 record over the pastfour seasons. Pelfreytakes the reins from hisformer Frontier Leagueteammate and is excitedto continue what Riordanstarted in Florence.

Pelfrey comes to Flor-ence from Gary, Ind.,where he spent the pastfour seasons coachingwith the SouthShore Rail-Cats. After playing forNorthwood University,he spent six seasons play-ing independent leaguebaseball, including four-plus seasons in the Fron-tier League. Pelfrey andRiordan were teammateson the 2000 Dubois Coun-

ty Drag-ons, whenRiordanwas play-er-man-ager of theDragons.

“I heardgreatthings

about the place from peo-ple I know,” Pelfrey said.“Fran had nothing butgreat things to say aboutthe organization.”

His playing and coach-ing experience and famil-iarity with the FrontierLeague were attractiveto the Freedom.

“Dennis has a lot of ex-perience in player acqui-sition with Gary as wellas player development,”

said Freedom ownerClint Brown in a press re-lease. “He has been a can-didate for multiple man-aging positions in thisleague and we feel this isthe perfect fit.”

The feeling was mutu-al. Pelfrey had been wait-ing for the right opportu-nity to manage in theFrontier League. He feltthat Florence was thedestination that giveshim the best chance tosucceed.

“Clint Brown reachedout to me and I felt like itwould be a great fit,” saidPelfrey.

On the field, the Free-dom are going to aggres-sive on the basepaths.Pelfrey wants his club to

lead the league in ad-vancing from first tothird. They will be a base-stealing, doubles-hittingteam. He wants to show-case an entertainingproduct at UC Health Sta-dium.

“I expect us to be acompetitive club,” saidPelfrey. “I want to createa buzz with a baseballteam that is exciting towatch on the field.”

Pelfrey has begunreaching out to each play-er on the roster to get toknow them better. He un-derstands the impor-tance of the relationshipbetween the Freedomand northern Kentuckycommunity. He is lookingforward to filling out the

roster with quality youngmen who understand thatthe Freedom organiza-tion is about more thanbaseball.

“The character ofteam and character of theguys we have is very im-portant to me,” said Pelf-rey.

The next step is tocomplete his staff, in-cluding the addition of atrusted pitching coach.Pelfrey has his targets inmind and is working toget his staff in place asquickly as possible.

“For us to be success-ful and do the things thatwe want to do, we have tohave the right staff,” saidPelfrey.

Winter weather in Ken-tucky tends to presentchallenges in the form ofsnow, ice and freezingtemperatures. What isn’ttalked about often is thediscomfort caused byweather inside the home.

The itch that plaguesmany people during win-ter can be the result of in-side air that does not con-

tain enough moisture.Low humidity levels cancause high levels of dis-comfort including dryskin, static electricity, andstuffy sinuses.

The air in a house isdrier in winter becausethere is less moisture inthe air outside. For lessthan $30, a simple hy-grometer gives an accu-

rate read-ing of therelative hu-midity lev-el in yourhome.

Home-ownersshould firstmake surethe heatingsystemduct workis not leak-

ing. A tight duct systemsaves energy and reducesthe amount of outside aircoming in the house. Lookat both the supplies andthe returns in the crawlspace, attic or uncondi-tioned basement.

Secondly, seal any air

leaks around windows,doors, plugs in outsidewalls, and other openingsto the outside. If the househas a gas furnace, checkfor the presence of an out-side air supply directly tothe furnace room. Thissystem reduces theamount of outside airbrought into the rest of thehouse.

When outside air andinside air contain thesame amount of water,typically condensationwill not accumulate onwindows, non-insulatedwalls, or other cold sur-faces. Raising the amountof water in inside air cancreate condensation onthese surfaces.

Humidity should beraised just enough to cre-ate a comfortable envi-ronment. Levels of 35 per-cent or less are adequatein winter.

If you have taken stepsto make your home airtight and have properlyvented your furnace, butthe air is still too dry, tryadding some houseplantsto your decor. If the prob-lem is most noticeable atnight, a small humidifierin the bedroom might dothe job.
