ALEXANDRIA —CampbellCountySchoolBoard member RichMason leads by exam-

ple.The

nine-yearboardveteranwas rec-ognizedforreachingthe Ken-

tucky School BoardsAs-sociation’s highest levelof trainingduringtheor-ganization’s Januaryconvention inLouisville.

Fellow board mem-ber Kimber Fender her-alded Mason’s achieve-ment at the Februaryschool board meeting,and he was congratulat-ed by the board and Su-perintendent Glen Mil-ler.

Mason, a Californiaresidentwho representsDistrict 5, said he real-ized before the conven-tion that he only lackedone one-hour onlineclass to reach level fiveschool board membertraining.

“My approach has al-

ways been just to takegood classes,” he said.“It’s more important tome to take classes thatare going to be benefi-cial to me and my boardwork than to reachacer-tain level of training. Tobe honest, I reallywasn’t aware I had all ofthem done.”

Mason, who was aclassroom teacher for27 years before joiningthe board, said he al-ready had a good under-standing of schools andschool board expecta-tions.

According to theKentucky SchoolBoards Associationwebsite, www.ksba.org,school board membersare required to partici-pate in a certain numberof training hours eachyear.

The KSBA offersconference workshopsand self-study courseson topics such as super-intendent selection,community relations,school law, policy devel-opment, goal setting,and providing servicesfor gifted and other spe-cial population students.

ALEXANDRIA — Fromthe cheerful yellow wallsto the nostalgic framedprints and stacks of cleanwhite plates, everythingat TJ’s Country Supperwelcomes patrons.

The restaurant, at 8109Alexandria Pike in themiddle of the AlexandriaCenter shopping plaza, isthe product of chef TomJohns, and it reflects hiswarm, kind personality.It’s open from 6:30 a.m.-3p.m. Mondays throughFridays, closed Satur-days and open 9 a.m. to 3p.m. Sundays.

TJ’s breakfast menufeatures eggs, bacon,sausage, goetta, pan-cakes, omelets and bis-cuits and gravy, andlunch boasts fish, roastbeef or meatloaf sand-wiches, salads, home-made soups, chickenfried buttermilk chickenor the “Darn Good Bur-ger.”

“That’s exactly what itis. It’s a darngoodburger.We’re simple here. It’sjust good wholesomecountry food,” saidJohns. “If someonewantssomething that’s not onthe menu, we’ll do our

best to make it with theingredients we have. Wewant to be the placewhere you feel at home,whenyou’renotathome.”

Johns will also offerspecials that aren’t regu-larly on the menu, like aturkeyeggsBenedictonarecent Sunday morning.

“It comes out nice,with roast turkey and agood homemade hollan-daise,” he said.

He said everything hecooks is made fromscratch, no mixes. The

only frozen foods he usesare biscuits, “and they’retop of the line.”

Desserts aredeliveredfrom Miss Shirley’s Bak-ery.

“She does such a greatjob. Imight aswell let theexperts do that,” Johnssaid. “Alexandria is sucha great, tight-knit com-munity. It’s good for all ofus to work together. Likethe sign says, Alexandriahas all the attributes ofthe citywith a small-townfeel.”

Although Johns hasworked in the real estateindustry for 15 years, hedecided to get away fromthe sedentary corporatelifestyle andback into thekitchen.

“That’s where I’ve al-ways loved tobe,”hesaid.“I’ve cooked since I was15 years old.”

Johns has a culinarydegree and studied cook-ing in Italy for ninemonths.

He wants the commu-nity to feel as welcomedat his restaurant as he’sfelt in the community.

“I’m humbled at howthey’ve generously ac-cepted me,” he said. “It’sbeen a pretty great expe-rience so far. I can’t ove-remphasize how appre-ciative I am for everyonehelpingmeand acceptingme.”

Johns also hopes to getinvolved in local benefitsand sponsorships.

“I’mnot onlywilling todo it, I want to do it,” hesaid. “I want to give backthebest I can.That’swhatyou do when you’re partof a community, and Ihave somuch to be thank-ful for here.”

“I concluded my hy-pothesis about the den-sity was correct,” Ricesaid.

Judges of the pro-jects included Alexan-dria Mayor Bill Rach-ford and a retired highschool science teacher.Students from Camp-bell County HighSchool judged sciencefair projects from stu-dents in kindergartenthrough third grade.

Reiley has 385 stu-dents, so more than 25percentofstudentscre-ated projects this year,said Principal SusanRath.

Participating in thescience fair is manda-tory for fifth-grade stu-dents, but optional forall other grades. Therewereevenafewkinder-garten and first-gradestudents who createdprojects, Rath said.

“We really want topush science and mathand the scientific proc-ess, and I think havingit prepares them formiddle school,” shesaid.

William Oliver, a re-tired NKU chemistryteacher and one of thecommunity judges,said it is important forstudents to start learn-ing about science at anearly age. Studentsneedtounderstandhowwritings and ideas pre-sented in themedia andon the Internet aresometimes false orgoofy.

For NKU, the positiveimpacts of the project ofimproved access out-weigh the negative im-pacts of takingsomepark-ing spots and cuttingthrough the back edge ofthe campus, said LarryBlake, assistant vicepresident for facilities.

“What it does is gettraffic from the middle ofour campus to the perim-eter,” Blake said.

To make up for lostparking,NKUwill eventu-ally expand the parkinggarage off Kenton Drive,Blake said.

The new road will cutoff access to CampbellHall, and the university isworking to comeupwith aplan to reconnect part ofCampbell Road, via abridge or some other way,to the new connector roadand maintain road accessto Campbell Hall, he said.

FORT THOMAS — Thereare1,146-acres of woodedland in the city, and resi-dent Bert Thomas wantspeople to consider pre-serving most of thosetrees.

Thomas, chairman ofthe Fort Thomas ForestConservancy, said hefounded the nonprofit in2005 to preserve as many

trees in the city as possi-ble.

“Our mission is to pro-tect the forested hillsidesand remaining greenspace in Fort Thomas,and there is a lot of it,”Thomas said.

Fort Thomas’s 1,146acres of forest is the larg-est amount of woodedacreage of any city inCampbell County, ac-cording to the2008Camp-bell County Forest Quali-

ty Assessment preparedby Northern KentuckyUniversity.Woodedareascomprise 31 percent of thcity’s 3,661 acres.

The conservancy isclose the signing of itsfirst conservation ease-ment with the city to pre-serve 6.5 acres of Ross-fordPark in thenorth endof the city, Thomas said.

The agreement willmake the conservancyresponsible for maintain-ing the area of the park inthe easement area, butthe city will still own theland, he said. The idea isto get rid of honeysuckleand other invasive plantspecies and plant nativeplants and trees.

Fort Thomas City Ad-ministrator Don Martinsaid the city has beenworking with the Conser-vancyfor threeyearsonaconservation agreementforpart ofRossfordPark.

“We are working coop-eratively to finalize anagreement that will helpto create and maintain anatural buffer aroundmuch of the perimeter ofRossford Park,” Martinsaid.

Thomas, a graduate ofthe U.S. Naval War Col-lege, said he returnedhome to Fort Thomas in2005 to retire after a ca-reer as a civilian federalemployee in Washington,D.C., and overseas. Hewas surprised to seelarge portions of former-

ly forested area alongMemorial Parkway gonebecause of development.

Many people are sur-prised to learn there is somuch forested area inFort Thomas, and muchof it can be seen from theshores of the Ohio Riverlooking across into thecity, he said. The city’snorthern boundary in-cludes four miles of for-ested hillside along theOhio River.

The conservancy doesown and was willed 3.5acres of forested proper-ty on Burnet Ridge nearthe Highlands HighSchool campus, Thomassaid. The foundation alsomaintains amodel naturegarden with native treesand plants in Tower Parknext to the Fort ThomasMilitary and CommunityMuseum.

The conservancy is setup as a land trust, and canhold land easements inperpetuity or own land,he said. Working with,andnot against, landown-ers is the goal. Propertyowners with a conserva-tion easement can stillown, will and even makeimprovements and devel-op some of the property.

“You’re agreeing topreserve it for you andyour grandkids,” he said

ALEXANDRIA—Bishop Bros-sartHighSchool’sbowlingteamwrappedup its 2013-2014 seasonat the Region 5 tournament onJan. 28 and 29 at Super BowlBellewood in Newport. Thisyear, the Mustangs bowled to-gether as a team, rather than asa collection of individual bow-lers from the same school.

“Theybowledreallywell andwhat ismore importantwasthatthey supported and encouragedeach other,” said coach JimKlump. “Wemade strides in be-coming a team instead of indi-vidual bowlers.”

At the regional tournament,freshman SamFleissner led theMustangs. He rolled a total of582 in the first three games toadvance to the individual semi-finals. He finished seventh inthe Region, with a five game to-tal of 911.

The top four finishers ad-vanced to a stepladder tourna-ment to decide the regionalchampion. Joe Heim placed13th with a three game total of526, missing the semifinals byjust 21points. Aaron RuschmanandWesHoldenroundedout thescoring for the boys team. Theboys teamearned theNo. 4 seedin the region, but lost to fifth-seed Highlands in the openinground of team play. Still, it wasan improvement on last season,when the boys earned the sev-enth seed in the region beforelosing in the opening round.

“I felt like we did great at re-gionals,” Fleissner said. “Al-though we fell short, we foughthard.”

The spirit of John Scopes re-cently descended upon our be-loved Bluegrass in the form ofdebate between Creation Mu-seumfounderKenHamandBillNye, the Science Guy.

Nothing like a good debate torouse the troops comfortablyentrenched in their intellectualfoxholes (two-thirds of Ameri-cans identify more or less asevolutionists and one-third ascreationists according to a re-cent Pew survey). Verbal barbsbetween camps have been trad-ed since the famous “MonkeyTrial” sparked by Scopes – a na-tive Kentuckian by the way.

Nye’s participation interest-ingly drew the ire of evolution-ary scientists who likened it tointellectual condescension on

par with debat-ing Cro-Ma-gnon. Nye con-tends that ad-herence to evo-lution isintegral if notfoundational togood science.Never mindthat the Bibli-cal worldviewheld by Pas-teur, Pascal,

Copernicus and Newton didn’timpede their scientific pur-suits. Nor did it inhibit modernscientist Raymond Damadianfromdiscoveringmagnetic res-onance imagingasHampointedout.

There is no doubt in Nye’s

mind that the universe is reallyold and began with a Big Bang,yet he couldn’t answer wherethe consciousness that allowshim to think that thought comesfrom in the first place. To exaltscience as the arbiter of alltruth and reality is to coronatescientific man as more power-ful than he really is.

Scientists are people. Peopleare finite. By definition, a finitecreature is limited in his know-ing. Even his observations arelimited by the constraints of thehuman condition and subject tochange with the gathering ofnew information. This is not anexcuse to be ignorant. It is in-stead a challenge to temper hu-manity with a good dose of hu-mility – the kind on par needed

by the afflicted Jobwhen indig-nant with God over his suffer-ing. God responded, “Wherewere you when I laid the foun-dation of the earth? Tell me, ifyou have understanding. Whodetermined its measurements-—surely you know!” (Job38:4-5a)

Evolution has yet to explainwhere matter and energy comefrom and how living thingsspring from non-living matter.It has not answered where in-telligence or morality comefrom.

And it is completely silent inexplaining how “survival of thefittest” comports with compas-sion and care for the sick anddying–of total strangers.Theseconundrums are evolving the

debate and raise questions ofwho and what makes us humananyway.

Science has helped us great-ly understand our physicalworld.

Coupled with technology, ithas helped to make life betterand more livable. It has foughtdisease and hunger and elimi-nated many toilsome burdens.It can measure the chemicalmakeup of our bodies but it can-not tell us what comprises thesoul. Science is goodbut it is notGod.

Evolving the debate toward humanness

RichardNelsonCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

When you talk aboutmedicalbreakthroughs, a cure for can-cer rises to the top.

While a cure for cancer is yetto be discovered, we have a toolto prevent certain types of can-cer – theHPVvaccine. Yet, vac-cination rates for pre-teens,who are recommended to getthe three-dose series, are sur-prisingly low.

TheCentersforDiseaseCon-trol and Prevention found thatonly 33 percent of girls and 8percent of boys had been fullyvaccinated in 2012 (the rate forboys is lower because the vac-cine was more recently recom-mended for them).

HPV is short for human pap-illomavirus. About 79 millionpeople in the United States,most in their teens and early20s, are infected with HPV.

Not only does HPV cause al-most all cervical cancers inwomen, it is also responsible forother types of cancer. HPVcauses cancer in a variety ofplaces in both men and women,including the mouth/throat,anus and genitals.

In the United States eachyear, there are about 18,000women and 7,000 men affectedby HPV-related cancers. Ken-tucky has the eighth highestrate of cervical cancer in thecountry.

So how do we improve ourvaccination rates so we canchange this trend?

Timing is important: HPVvaccination is recommended atage 11 or 12. Because the HPVvirus can be spread throughsexual activity, the vaccine of-fers thegreatesthealthbenefitsto individuals who receive allthree doses before having anytype of sexual activity.

Eleven and 12 year olds arealready required to get otherimmunizations: a Tdap to pro-tect against tetanus, diphtheriaand pertussis; and a meningitisvaccine.

The first dose of HPV cansafely and easily be given dur-ing the same visit as the othertwo shots (and odds are theamount of protest or eye-rollingfrom your pre-teen won’t risetoo drastically from shot No. 2to No. 3).

We’re miss-ing opportuni-ties for HPVvaccination,though.Nation-ally, 74 percentof pre-teensgot a Tdap vac-cination and 84percent got onefor meningitis.Let’s not thinkof HPV vacci-nation as op-

tional – the benefits are far toogreat for families todelayorde-cline this vaccination.

Cost was once a concern, butit is no longer. The vaccine iscovered byMedicaid and manyhealth insurance plans. For theuninsured the vaccine can beexpensive, but through a spe-cial grant, the health depart-ment is offering the vaccine tothose ages19 to 26years for just$4 per dose at our county healthcenters and those 18 and undercanreceive thevaccine throughthe Vaccines for Children pro-gram.

Many parents hesitate togive their son or daughter theHPVvaccine because theywor-ry itmightencouragesexual ac-tivity.

A study in Pediatrics re-leased this month found thatgetting the HPV vaccinationdoes not lead to riskier sexualactivity among young women.Previous studies have alsoshown that the HPV vaccine isnot linked to increased promis-cuity at an earlier age.

As it is with so many otherconditions, vaccination is thebest prevention tool available.Consider this: If 80 percent ofpre-teens were vaccinatedagainstHPV,we’dprevent4,400future cases of cervical cancerand1,400 cancer deaths. Simplyput, the HPV

vaccine is cancer preven-tion. Help protect your son ordaughter by making sure thathe/she gets all three doses ofHPV vaccine, starting at age 11or 12.

The Horseshoe CasinoCincinnati Spiral Stakes,a Grade 3 race for 3-year-old thoroughbreds, is oneof just 34 races in theUnited States and Dubaidesignated as qualifiersfor the Kentucky Derby,which is limited to 20starters. The1 1⁄8-mile Spi-ral Stakes offers 85 qual-ifying points: 50 to thewinner, 20 to the runner-up, 10 to the third-placefinisher and five to thehorse that finishes fourth.

Horseshoe Casino Cin-cinnati again holds titlesponsorship of the SpiralStakes. Horseshoe, whichopened last March indowntown Cincinnati, be-gan title sponsorship lastyear and increased thepurse to $550,000, itshighestpoint inmore thana decade.

The elite venue at theHorseshoeCasinoCincin-nati Spiral Stakes is theVIP tent. The 408-foot byx82-footclear-spanstruc-ture, which has no interi-

“We’ve run the SpiralStakes in 70 degrees andwe’ve run it in snow,” saidTurfway Park generalmanager Chip Bach. “Af-ter dealing with the polarvortex during our racingseason this year, we thinkMother Nature owes usone of those 70 degree

days. If she cooperates,we’ll open the sides of thetent and let the party spillout right up to the rail.Watching horses thunderaround the final turn isone of the most excitingmoments of any race, andthat’s especially true for arace that sends a starterto the Derby.”

TheVIP tent is the see-and-be-seen party at theHorseshoeCasinoCincin-nati Spiral Stakes, and

Derby-worthy fashion isde rigueur. The $175ticket includes the grandbuffet, premium openbar, racing program,commemorative glass,luxury shopping venuessuch as Fabulous Fursand Triple Crown Hats,prize drawings and liveentertainment by danceand party band TheChuck Taylors.

About 40 flat screenTVs throughout the tent

bring the races inside, orguests can watch fromthe tent’s private viewingarea along the rail. Forthosewhocan’t decidebe-tween hoops and horses,several screens will bededicated to the NCAAbasketball tournament.

The VIP tent also is apopular venue for corpo-rate entertaining, with ta-bles for 10 available for$1,750.

Turfway’s five-storygrandstandoffersarangeof other reserved options,including buffet, pan-oramic views of the trackand handicapping sta-tionswith individual TVs,from $25 to $80.

My friend, CharleneCastle, known as thedumplin’ queen aroundhere, is a Southern girlwho makes her dump-

lings withsoft, self-risingflour andhot water.She doesn’tuse mea-suringcups; sheuses spe-cial bowlslike hermom. Real

heirloom cooking. “Rollthem out, put them in thechicken and broth.They’ll thicken it,” shesaid.

I make dumplings,too, but mine are thekind you scoop up andplop on top of soup orstew. Fun to make.Granddaughter Eva,almost 6, is pretty goodat making these dump-lings. It won’t be longbefore I get her little sis,Emerson, up on the stoolto help, as well.

No-peek herbeddumplings

First, have your soup,stew or even cannedbroth boiling. I like to putthese on top of chickensoup. The secret to fluffydumplings? Don’t peek!

1 cup all-purpose flour,spooned lightly into cupand leveled off

11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste

Palmful fresh mincedparsley (optional)

1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded

3 tablespoons butter

Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt together.Add parsley. Make a wellin center. Heat milk withbutter until butter melts.Pour into well and mix.Dough will look sort of

shaggy. Add a bit moremilk, if necessary. Don’tover mix. Sometimesthere’s a bit of dry mix-ture in the bottom of thebowl. Just leave it. Turnheat down on soup tosimmer. Use an icecream scoop sprayedwith cooking spray todrop dumplings careful-ly on top of liquid, leav-ing space in between forexpansion. Put lid on. Nopeeking! Simmer any-where from 8 to 10 min-utes, or until largestdumpling is done: cut inhalf to test. Dumplingwill be cooked throughand not soggy in middle.Dumplings expand todouble or even triple.Depending upon size,you’ll get eight or more.

Quick beefstroganoff

I only know her by herfirst name, Sherry. Wealmost collided at thestore. Sherry was buyingingredients for this reci-pe and when I told her itsounded so good, shegave me her copy! “Ihave another at home,”she said. I followed herrecipe pretty close, witha few adaptations. Worthsharing!

1pound flank steakOlive oil1 cup chopped onion1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoonmincedgarlic (optional)

Salt and pepper to tasteHot paprika or a littlecayenne, to taste

6-8 oz. fresh exoticmushrooms or regularmushrooms, sliced

11⁄2 cups beef broth1 tablespoon plus 2teaspoons flour

1⁄3 cup sour cream plus morefor garnish

Several green onions, slicedNice pat of butter, about atablespoon or so

Cooked noodles

Slice beef acrossgrain 1⁄4-inch wide strips,

then cut strips in half.Film bottom of pan withoil and heat to mediumhigh. Add beef and cookuntil browned, about 5minutes. Remove andadd onion, garlic, sea-sonings and mushroomsto pan and cook untilmushrooms are tender,adding a bit more oil ifnecessary. Reduce heatto medium. Mix 1⁄4 cupbeef broth with flour tomake a paste. Add to panalong with beef, stirringwell. Stir in 1-1⁄4 cupsbroth, cover and cookuntil sauce thickens.Adjust seasonings. Stir insour cream, green onionsand butter. Serve overnoodles and pass sourcream.

Can you help?Thriftway’s tortellini

salad. Western Hillsreader MarkWigger-shaus would like to havethis recipe or somethingsimilar. “It had an earthytaste and was verygood,” Mark said.

Like Frisch’s or Jock’sbatter for deep-friedfish. Reader Tom Ohmerwould love to have asimilar recipe.

Motor vehicle repairscontinue to top the list ofconsumer complaintsreceived by the OhioAttorney General. Inmost cases, that office isvery limited in its abil-ity to help solve theconsumer problems.

That’s why Ohio StateSen. Joe Uecker (R-Miami Township) hasintroduced legislationthat would require me-chanic repair facilitiesto be licensed. Rightnow there are more than4,000 such repair shopsoperating without anyoversight. Only bodyrepair shops are cur-rently licensed in Ohio.

“This bill will notonly level the playingfield, it will also protect

consumersby ensur-ing busi-nesseshave prop-er liabilityinsuranceshouldsomethinghappen totheir vehi-cle while

at the repair shop,”Uecker said.

The state licensingagency would also helpresolve complaints filedby vehicle owners, suchas Kimberly Thorpe ofLiberty Township. Shewas told she needed anew engine for her 2004Chrysler Sebring. So,she took it to a repairshop where, she said, it

sat for more than a year.Thorpe eventually

took the vehicle to adealership and was toldsome parts were miss-ing. In addition, she wastold a new engine wouldcost $5,500 to $6,000 –yet she had alreadyspent more than two-thirds that amount withthat first repair shop.

Thorpe says she gavethat first shop ownerone more chance to fixthe vehicle, but she nev-er got her engine. In-stead she has parts inthe back seat and thetrunk of her vehicle, butno engine under thehood.

Angel Hale-Frater, ofBlue Ash, is also upsetwith the dealership to

which she took her over-heating SUV. She paid$1,500 for the repair but,after getting it back, shediscovered the SUV wasstill overheating. Shereturned the vehicle tothe dealership and saidthe manager told her,“We make mistakes allthe time.” Then she wastold new repairs neededwould cost nearly dou-ble what she had alreadypaid.

“If they had present-ed me with, ‘Your carneeds upwards of $2,000plus of work,’ I wouldhave said, ‘No.’ I boughtit seven years ago, it had35,000 miles on it, itsnow got 130,000 miles,”Hale-Frater said.

Fortunately, after

filing a complaint withme, the dealershipagreed to deduct thecost of that first repairfrom Hale-Frater’s sec-ond bill. However, shestill ended up payingmore than $2,000 for therepairs.

Uecker said he hopesthe repair shop licensinglegislation will bepassed by the end of thisyear. I suggested, andthe legislature will con-sider, requiring shopowners to post a smallbond. That would assurevehicle owners get com-pensated should therebe a problem collectingfrom a repair shop

“The board couldverify and monitor com-pliance with state laws,

giving consumers theability to identify thoseservice centers that areregistered. Every Ohio-an deserves to feel con-fident that repairs ontheir vehicles are per-formed safely and pro-fessionally,” Ueckersaid.

No such licensing iscurrently required inKentucky. If you’d liketo express your feelingsabout the bill write toSen.Joe Uecker at [email protected].

rate for older workerscompared to youngerworkers. Nearly 50 per-cent of unemployedolder workers have beenactively seeking em-ployment for more thansix months.

The 2012 report bythe Government Ac-countability Officefound that older work-ers face several chal-lenges to obtaining orregaining employmentincluding high salaryexpectations, expensivehealth benefits, out-of-date skills and visiblefrustration during jobinterviews.

If you are currentlyreceiving Social Securi-ty benefits and arethinking about re-enter-

The recent economicrecession hit manyAmericans hard. Ifyou’re over the age of 55and are looking for em-ployment, you are notalone. The Bureau ofLabor Statistics report-

ed that the unemploy-ment rate for olderworkers was 5.3 percentin August 2013. Whilelong-term unemploy-ment rose substantiallyacross demographics, itoccurred at a greater

ing thework forceto supple-ment yourincome,you shouldrealizethat paidemploy-mentcould af-fect yourbenefits.

If you work and areolder than full retire-ment age, you may keepall of your benefits de-spite your earningsamount. Full retirementage for those born be-tween Jan. 2, 1943, andJan. 1, 1955, is 66. In2014, workers youngerthan full retirement agereceiving Social Securi-

ty will have their bene-fits reduced $1 fromevery $2 they earnedover $15,480. Those re-ceiving Social Securitybenefits who will reachfull retirement age in2014 will have theirbenefits reduced by $1for every $3 they earnedover $41,400 until theyreach their birth month.Contact the local SocialSecurity office to findout the amount you canearn while receivingSocial Security pay-ments.

Many employersvalue older workers fortheir experience, workethic and mentoringabilities and are willingto hire older adults.Make a list of what you

want and expect in a job.Do you want to bearound people, work inan office, or only workcertain days of theweek? Take some timeto brush up on your in-terviewing skills andpractice answers tocommonly asked ques-tions. Look over yourjob history and resumeand update as neededand learn to apply forjobs on-line. The betterprepared you are tore-enter the workforce,the more successful youwill likely be.

Have you ever stoppedto think about all thethings that feed us?

I’m not just talkingabout nutrition. We usefood to fill our stomachs,but we use other things tofeed us as well. We userelationships, jobs, books,shows and apps. They allserve a purpose to feedour emotions andmeetour needs in some way.And when asked, wemight say we can’t livewithout them, but thetruth is, we can. It wouldbe gut-wrenching to losea spouse, child, or parentfor sure, and our liveswould be foreverchanged, but physicallyour bodies would survive.The same is not true forfood. Our bodies neednutrition to function. Itwould be physically im-possible for us to survivefor a long period withoutfood.

Interestingly, we’retold in two distinct placesin the Bible that food isnot the only thing weneed to survive. In Deu-

terono-my 8:3andMat-thew 4:4(also inLuke4:4), weare told,“It iswrittenthat manshall notlive by

bread alone, but by everyword that proceeds fromthemouth of the Lord.”

Now if this is true,many of us are dyingtoday. We try to sustainour lives through self-help books, TV shows,relationships, gymmem-berships. None of whichare hurtful in and ofthemselves, but none cansustain us unless they arecoupled with God’s word.Not to mention, if youhave ever lost a lovedone, then you know all toowell that even the mostwonderful relationshiphas an ending on thisEarth.

So many of us need a

fresh start today; we aredesperate for a new life, anew approach, a newwayof thinking. If you’relooking for a fresh starttoday, look in the book ofJames; “Every good giftand every perfect gift isfrom above, and comesdown from the father oflights, with whom there isno variation or shadow ofturning.” (James 1:17).

In other words, Godhas great and perfectgifts waiting for all whowant a relationship withhim. There is no one likehim and he neverchanges and he neverleaves.

May you be blessedwith the gift of experi-encing a fresh start and anew relationship thisweek.

Question: Someonetold me it’s a good ideato throw down grassseed on top of the snow,and it will grow in thespring. Is that true?

Answer: We recom-mend cool-seasongrasses here, includingbluegrass, the fescues,and perennial ryegrass. We don’t recom-mend throwing downgrass seed on the snow,since that leads to veryuneven seed distribu-tion when the snowsmelt and water runsdown slopes and off thelawn. However, as soonas the snow melts andthe ground is not toowet, it’s fine to go aheadand scatter grass seedover your lawn to dosome over-seeding.Mid-February throughlate March is a goodtime to sow cool-seasongrass seed. Once theground is no longerfrozen or muddy, youcan even rent a slitseeder to get good seedto soil contact as well asa more uniform dis-tribution of seed. EarlyMarch seedings usuallyhave fewer problemswith weed competition

thanApril/Mayseedings.

Prob-lem lawnsin North-ern Ken-tuckywithshade,poor soil,or heavytraffic

should almost alwaysbe established with tallfescue. Fine (red) fes-cue and perennial ryegrass also have somelimited uses in lawns.Bluegrass seeds takemuch longer to germi-nate, and eventuallythatch buildup can be-come a problem, requir-ing de-thatching.

Do a soil test (freethrough your localNorthern Kentuckycounty extension ser-vice) now to determinethe exact lime and fer-tilizer needs of yourlawn. Excess lime canresult in poor nutrientuptake. Only by havingyour soil tested will youknow whether or notyou should add lime,phosphorus and potassi-um to your lawn soil.

Ideally, seeding ofnew lawns should bedone into loose, pre-pared soil. Seeding isusually done with arotary seeder or theusual drop-type seedand fertilizer spreader.To determine the prop-er seeding rates, askfor a copy of Coopera-tive Extension publica-tion, “Selecting theRight Grass for YourKentucky Lawn(AGR-52).” For uniformdistribution, divide theseed into two equal lots.The second lot shouldbe seeded at right an-gles to the first. Coverthe seed by rakinglightly or rolling with awater-ballast roller.Mulch the area withclean straw. The mulchcovering should be thinenough to expose about50 percent of the soilsurface, which meansusing about one bale ofstraw per 1,000 squarefeet of area. If snowsand rains cease, waterthe new grass seedlingsoften, but lightly.

A new gala to benefitthe Northern KentuckyChildren’s Advocacy Cen-ter will be “unmasked”Saturday, March 1, at theAirport Marriott in He-bron.

“Masquerade Madnessisgoing tobe fresh,differ-ent, and elegant, and wepromise an evening ofglamorous mystique forour loyal supporters, newfriends and guests,” saidKimberly Carlisle ofUnion. Carlisle leads theAdvocates, a 40-membervolunteer organizationwhich presents the advo-cacy center’s annual gala.

Guests will be sur-rounded by Venetian opu-lence with fine dining,

dancing, and both silentand live auction items en-veloped inanightofallureandmystery.

But a component of thegala’s live auction is trulyunique, bringing studentsand local businesses to-gether. Part of the eve-ning’s proceeds will comefrom auction items creat-ed by local art students inNorthern Kentucky. Highschool art club studentsfrom Beechwood, DixieHeights, Simon Kenton,St. Henry District HighSchool, andVillaMadonnaAcademy have created 30one-of-a-kind pinwheel-themed wind chimes ex-clusively for the gala’slive auction. In addition to

the wind chimes, studentsat Boone County AreaTechnology Center havedeveloped a pinwheel-themed indoor/outdoorwater feature for the liveauction’s finale.

“Pinwheels are a na-tional symbol for childabusepreventionandare-minder of the bright andcarefree future that allchildren deserve. Thesetalented students are tru-ly giving of themselves tohelp children of abuse inNorthern Kentucky,” saidNancy Francis, an advo-cate for the children’s ad-vocacy center. “The windchimes and water featureare part of our ‘ChildrenHelping Children’ initia-

tives with the center. Thelive auction is alwayshighly anticipated be-cause of the student par-ticipation, andraisesasig-nificantportionof theeve-ning’s proceeds.”

Francis said that in thelast five years, 16 areaschools have createditems for the annual fund-raiser. This year, St. Hen-

ry District High Schoolwas a new participant,joined by Villa MadonnaAcademy in its secondyear,DixieHeightsandSi-mon Kenton in theirfourth, and Beechwoodfor all five years. This isBoone County Area Tech-nology Center’s secondyear contributing to thegala.

“I’ve always said thatour students can do any-thing, and the water fea-ture that they preparingtruly amazes me,” saidGarry A. Harper, princi-pal of Boone County AreaTechnology Center.
