“Iwanted to be amomand to adopt, this is theroute Iwent and it’s beena wonderful experience.I learned how to be amom. You can extendyour family and help somany children and fam-ilies in need.”
Kathleen Hughes of
Villa Hills has been fos-tering children for twoyears. They are ages 9,11and 14. Her adoption ofthem was finalized inFebruary. For Hughesand her husband the re-wards of parenting arepriceless.
“I guess I can say thebest thing is what anyparent would say aboutparenting. You get to seethekidsblossomand thathas been fun to watch,”she said. “You get to helpthem find things they’repassionate about.”
Hughes said she en-courages individuals andfamilies to consider fos-ter, however, points outthat it’s not for the faintof heart.
“It’s been a lifestyleswitch,” she said. “It’sshown us what we’remade of andwhatwe cando.”

Clark, 34, has just publishedhis second book on UK withfriend Joe Cox, “Fightin’Words: Kentucky vs. Louis-ville.”
He and Cox had just fin-ished their last book, “100Things Wildcats Fans ShouldKnow and Do Before TheyDie,” when they began to won-der what was next.
Cox, 33, said the idea wasone he hadmore than a decadeago.
While Cox, who lives nearandworks inBowlingGreen, isa Kentucky fan – he and Clarkmetwatching aKentucky foot-ball game while attendingWestern Kentucky University– he attended theUniversity ofLouisville law school and sayshe’s the “softer edge of thetwo.”
Having lived in the city forthree years, “I kind of haveLouisville sympathies” andwill root for the team – but notat the expense of UK.
“Joe and I had both thoughtfor a long timesomeone should
write a book about the UK andU of L basketball rivalry,”Clark said. “Not a biased fanbook, but a true history bookabout the rivalry that justchronicledeachgame.Weboththought we would love to readthat.”
Clark says a book like thishadnever beenwritten before.
“I personally know friendsin the sportswriting business –peoplewhoare real journalismcelebrities – who wanted towrite this book but never did,”Clark said. “So Joe and Ipitched the idea, and especial-ly when Louisville won the na-tional title last year, publishersgot interested. This is the big-gest rivalry in college basket-ball The emotion and the char-acters involved are second to
none. And it had to be writtenabout.”
The competition betweenthe two teams,whichmeet Fri-day in the NCAA Sweet Six-teen, is fierce.
“The fans hate each other,the coaches hate each otherandwhen theymeet each year,the state almost boils over,”Clark said. “It’s the biggestthing in the state sports-wisethis side of the Kentucky Der-by.”
According toClark, theygetinto the stories behind thegames.
“We talk to players whohave overcome addiction of allkinds, horrible family livesand other adversity,” he said.“Fans will love these kids, nomatter who they root for.”

ALEXANDRIA — They have awhole new team this year, butthe Campbell County HighSchool boys tennis team hopesfor more success than the pre-vious version.
The Camels had a strongperformance in the 2013 post-season, with a pair of 2013graduates advancing to thestate tournament.
This year’s edition had achance to surpass all that as
the 10th Region tournamentbegan May 3 in Cynthiana.
“I turned over my roster,”said head coach Jeremiah So-wards. “Most matches, I had asixth-grader at singles, andfive sophomores and a junior.That’s the youngest my rosterhas been in a long time.”
The middle-schooler, An-dersonMcDowell, hasbeen theNo. 1 singles player for theteam all year, and he startedthe regional as the No. 3 seed.Sophomores Mason Geimanand Jake Walters were the
three seed indoubles, andDon-tay Hyatt and Hogan Oldigesthe fifth seed. The top four fin-ishers in each bracket advanceto the state tournament May14-17 in Lexington, with theteam champion participatingin the state team tournamentas well. Conner Combs isCampbell’s second singlesplayer in the tourney.
Geiman and Waltersreached the semifinals, whichwere set to be contestedMay5,and earned a berth to the statetourney.
Campbell hada7-8 record indual matches for the year.
“We played a lot of reallytough teams in the Ninth Re-gion,” Sowards said. “I’m real-ly impressed with how goodthe Ninth Region is. They havesome really solid teams top tobottom.”
However the regional turnsout, the Camels will have a lotto build on for next season.
“Every one of these kids isbrand new to varsity tennis.They may have played a fewmatches but no one had a full
season,” said Sowards, whohad toadjusthis coachingstylethis season. “I had to remem-ber everything was a learningexperience for them. And toreally focus on the fundamen-tals so they had something tofall back on in matches. It wasnice because I got to reteachsome basics and get them intothe program, understand whywe’re doing things.”

Campbell tennis heads toward bright futureBy James [email protected]
NEWPORT — Unless theymake another state tournamentrun, it appears that NewportCentral Catholic’s currentstreak of consecutive 20-winseasons will end at three.
This year started off rockyfor a program just twoyears re-movedfromastatequarterfinalappearance. The 8-19 Thor-oughbreds are looking for aspark that can propel them toanother deep tournament run.
“Weneed to get somewins sothat the players have some con-fidence heading into districtplay,” head coach Jeff Schul-kens said.
The ‘Breds came up with abig win over Dayton on May 1,snapping a 10-game losingstreak. It appeared that theteam was starting the newmonth fresh. Then, theydropped their next two gamesby identical 10-0 scores. New-Cath did show signs of life in a5-1loss toCovingtonCatholic onMay 5. Right now, building con-fidence is the biggest goal.
“The players have continuedto work hard, but lack confi-dence in their ability to be suc-cessful,” said Schulkens. “Theyneed to start believing in them-selves and their teammates.”
Every win over the next twoweekswill be a possible turningpoint. Each victory brings hopetheThoroughbreds are ready toturn this season around and getback to their winningways. Un-fortunately, they have not yetbeenable tostring togethercon-secutive wins since April 11-12.
“There was a sense of relief
(afterendingthe10-gamelosingstreak),” said Schulkens. “I washoping we could build off thatwin but so far we have not.”
This season has been a strainon the team’s veteran leaders.After winning 45 games overthe past two seasons, includingsix postseason wins, the team’ssix seniors expected to fare bet-ter in 2014.
“It has been a challenge forthem,” said Schulkens of his up-perclassmen. “They have beenasked to do more than last yearand so far have not responded.”
Freshman Spencer Pangallohas been a bright spot for theThoroughbreds. The pitcherand infielderhasplayedbeyondhis years and held his ownagainst older competition. Evenif the future looks promising,the Thoroughbreds are not yet

ALEXANDRIA — Visitors tohome football games hostedby Campbell County HighSchool knew his voice.
Greg Rose’s enthusiasticcalls from the press box of bigplays by his Camelswere onlysurpassed by his enthusiasticactions to support the commu-nity in general. His memora-ble “That’s another CampbellCounty FIRST DOWNNNN!”only scratched the surface.
“He made every play spe-cial,” Campbell County headfootball coach Steve Lickertsaid. “My personal favorite isevery Friday night getting atext of the scoreboard. He’dsay ‘Good job, coach.Congrat-ulations!’ He’d greet me withaGatoradewhenIwalkoff thefield.When I first got here, hewent out of his way to makeme feel welcome. When hesaid if there’s anything I cando for you, let me know, hewould actually do that.”
Rose, an Alexandria resi-dent, died April 25 and waslaid to rest April 30. Rose, 52,was a 1979 graduate of Camp-bell CountyHigh School and a1983 grad of Northern Ken-tucky University.
He came back to his almamater to not only be the PAvoice, but work with areasports behind the scenes. Hecoached several youth sportsincluding AAUbasketball. Hewas an active churchmemberwho went to mission trips inZimbabwe.
“Hewassuchavaluableas-
set to the highschool and toCampbellCounty athlet-ics,” said ath-letic directorSteve Hensley.“He was such agreat person,infectious
smile. Friday nights won’t bethe same without him.”
A former Camel runningback himself, Rose had twosonsplay thepositionatCCHSin recent years, Grant andZach. He also had two daugh-ters with his wife of 30 years,Sherri (True) Rose - Danielle(Rose) Crafton and HayleeRose.
“He was just a guy thatmade Friday night an event inAlexandria. He did all the be-hind-the-scenes stuff, fromgetting thekidwho’sdoing thecoin toss from the elementaryschool to making sure heknew how to say every kid’sname,” Lickert said. “Heworked behind the scenes foreverything. He was a greatman and a great spokesmanfor the Campbell County com-munity.”
Hensley said he will betough to replace and footballgames will be different.
“Hisheartwasall about thekids at Campbell County,”Hensley said. “What I’ll re-member is howmuchhe lovedthis community and howmuch this community lovedhim.”

Improved fundamen-tals could unlock the con-fidence and swagger thathas been lacking so farthis season. There is still

Can a local profession-al football team win aplayoff game? TheNorth-ern Kentucky River Mon-sters earned opportunityto do just that by winningtheir final five regularseason games, including a36-24 win over DaytonMay 3.

This was a roller coast-er of a season. It beganwith the River Monstersquarterback Jared Loren-zen, the popular High-lands High School andUniversity of Kentuckygrad and Super Bowlchampion, putting theteamandthe leagueonthemap. His performance inthe season opener quicklywentviral.Unfortunately,
hebrokehis leg in the sec-ond game of the season.The River Monsters hadto live up to inflated ex-pectations without theirstar player and leader.Several young and hun-gry players stepped up,led by quarterback Anto-nio Davis and runningbackMaurice Douse.
“Theseboyshaveover-come so much this yearand deserve to be in thechampionship game,”said River Monsters own-er Jill Chitwood. “I am sopleased and proud of howthey have pulled togetherand have made such astatement with their playand we plan to make atough run for the champi-onship.”

Commuting has a hugeimpact on our health. So itwasn’t surprising to see thatcommute times were includedfor the first time this year inthe County Health Rankings,an annual assessment ofhealth county-by-countyacross the country supportedby the Robert Wood JohnsonFoundation.
Boone County was one ofthe healthiest overall in thestate, ranking third in the 2014Health Rankings for healthfactors. But, the county strug-gles with commutes: 86 per-cent of Boone Countians driveto work alone, and 31 percenthave a commute of 30 minutesor more.
Campbell County was ninth
overall inKentucky inthe 2014Health Rank-ings for healthfactors. But,the countystruggles withcommutes: 82percent ofCampbellCountiansdrive to workalone, and 30
percent have a commute of 30minutes or more.
Kenton County was 19thoverall in Kentucky in the2014 Health Rankings forhealth factors. But, the countystruggles with commutes: 84percent of Kenton Countians
drive to work alone, and 26percent have a commute of 30minutes or more.
That adds up to poor health:Researchers have demon-strated that commutes canincrease a person’s anxiety,blood sugar and cholesterol.Workers who have long com-mutes also are less likely toget regular physical activity.A study in the American Jour-nal of Preventive Medicinefound that for each additionalhour per day spent in the car,the likelihood of obesity wentup 6 percent.
Commuting can make otherhealthy habits take a backseat. People with long com-mutes get less sleep thanthose with shorter commutes.
They are also more likely tomake unhealthy choices formeals. When time is tight, thefast food drive thru is all themore tempting. Finally, thosecars idling in traffic contrib-ute to air pollution levels.
In short, all that time sit-ting in our cars, by ourselveson the Cut in the Hill – or anyother local road – is impactingour health.
Our political and businessleaders are struggling to findsolutions that will reducetraffic and improve NorthernKentucky’s overall trans-portation system, with thereconstruction of the BrentSpence Bridge being at theforefront. It’s time for healthto become part of those con-
versations. Can we designcommunities so it’s easy tomake a healthy choice, andwalk or bike short distances?How do we convince residentsto take advantage of publictransportation or ride-shareprograms?
The answers may not besimple, and they certainly willcome with a significant cost.But we need to considerhealth in all policy decisions.Investing in improvements intransportation will also im-prove our health, reducing thecost and impact of chronicdisease in our community.

Sell has rightcombination ofexperience
As mayor of Cold Springand a director in the pri-vate sector, I’m worriedthat Campbell County isnot reaching its full poten-tial in the job market.
Last year, only one ofthe 21 job retention andcreation projects touted byNorthern Kentucky Eco-nomic Development Corp.(Tri-ED) took place inCampbell County. This isall the more troublingwhen you consider thatCampbell County’s currentjudge-executive is the headof Tri-ED.
I’ve witnessed firsthandthe lack of economic recov-ery occurring in CampbellCounty. Campbell lags inseveral key income andeducation indicators whileBoone and Kenton jumpahead. Frankly, we need ajudge-executive who willuse his influence to helpCampbell instead of funnel-ing potential jobs to Booneand Kenton.
Kevin Sell is the onlycandidate who will tacklethe two most important is-sues to Campbell County onDay One: job creation andthe heroin epidemic.
His background as an
emergency responder and abusiness executive providesthe right mix of experienceand knowledge to addressthese two key issues.
I’m proud to endorseKevin and I urge voters tojoin me in the May 20 pri-mary by putting CampbellCounty first and supportingKevin Sell.

The Obama economy hashad a devastating impact onthe people of Kentucky, espe-cially the many working wom-en and families who keep thiscommonwealth running.
The facts are plain: Underthis president’s watch, morethan 3.7 million Americanwomen have fallen into pover-ty, including 44,000 women inKentucky. The average Amer-ican woman now makes about$730 a year less than when thepresident took office. And ifshe’s a college graduate, she’sactually seen her incomeshrink by about double thatamount.
In other words, when itcomes to American womenoverall, what we’ve seen overthe past five and a half yearsis less income and more pov-erty. That’s the story Presi-dent Obama and his alliesdon’t want to talk about.
And no single policy ismore disastrous to our econo-my than Obamacare.
Just take Obamacare’s30-hour workweek rule, whichis forcing many employers toslash workers’ hours. By de-fining full-time workers whomust be offered health cov-erage as those working 30hours per week or more, thelaw gives incentives to em-ployers to cut work hoursbelow this threshold, thuslowering pay and produc-tivity.
Furthermore, as one studypointed out, nearly two-thirdsof those adversely affectedby this arbitrary provision ofObamacare are working wom-en.
The 30-hour workweekcreated under Obamacare
disproportion-ately reducestheir wages.
But Presi-dent Obama,Senator HarryReid, andtheir liberalallies in Wash-ington don’tseem to careabout theways peopleare being hurt
by their policies. They con-tinue to block innovativeideas Republicans have beenoffering to turn the tide.
For example, along withseveral Republican col-leagues, I offered a series ofmeasures in the U.S. Senatethat will help improve thejobs picture in this country,and provide greater opportu-nities for women, men, andfamilies desperate to getahead. Yet the majority in theSenate has objected to eachone.
They objected to our pro-posal to restore the 40-hourworkweek, single-handedlypreventing it from passing.
They also blocked my flextime proposal that would havegiven working Moms andDads the option to take timeoff to help them find a betterwork/life balance.
This is a policy that manyworking women say theywant, one that’s tailored to theneeds of the modern work-force, and one that many gov-ernment employees alreadyenjoy.
And work/life flexibility ismore critical than ever nowthat Obamacare’s 30-hourwork rule is forcing people to
pick up a second or a third jobjust to scrape by.
Senate liberals alsoblocked the pro-worker Rightto Work legislation that Sena-tor Rand Paul and I offered.Right to Work is smart policythat promises to boost com-petitiveness while advancingworkers’ rights by ensuringworkers are not forced tojoin, and thus aren’t limitedby the dictates of, a union.
It’s similar to another billI’m proud to co-sponsor: theRAISE Act, which would al-low workers to get a raiseeven if their union bossesdon’t want them to.
Currently, companies maybe forced by union contractsto pay their workers the sameno matter how they perform.
Today, a female worker canoutperform her colleaguesand then be told by someunion boss to sit down andaccept less pay than she de-serves – not a dime more thanthe coworkers she’s outper-forming. It’s unfair. Workerslike her shouldn’t be penal-ized by some archaic unionrule dreamt up before the ageof “Mad Men.”
The RAISE Act would fixthis by allowing individualexcellence to be recognizedand rewarded with merit pay.Who could be against higherpay for a job well done?
Americans want solutionsnow, and we owe it to them tostart passing the kinds ofinnovative, common-senseideas that I am committed tokeep pursuing on behalf ofthe Kentuckians I represent.

Putting a bag of nonperish-able foods by the mailbox onSaturday, May 10, can helpfeed a struggling family or asenior on a limited incomeduring the summer months.
The U.S. Postal ServiceFood Drive takes place on thesecond Saturday in May, butfood pantries across NorthernKentucky rely on regular do-nations in order to feed hungrypeople throughout the year.
According to a release fromthe USPS, around 50 millionpeople face hunger every dayin America, including nearly17 million children.
The postal service fooddrive brought in 25,000 poundsof nonperishable products inBoone, Campbell and Kentoncounties in 2013, 7,500 poundsof which went to stock thePantry of Hope in HighlandHeights.
Brandy Medaugh started aChristmas program in Decem-ber 2007, which grew into thePantry of Hope at First BaptistChurch of Highland Heights,2315 Alexandria Pike, whichoffers food, clothing, infantneeds, household goods andtoiletries from 9 a.m. to noonevery Saturday.
In 2008, the pantry helped125 families, and by 2013, Me-daugh and fellow volunteerStella Worley provided goodsto more than 2,300 familiesthroughout the year.
Although they‘re only opento serve the public four hoursa week, nearly 400 individ-uals and families will comethrough the Pantry of Hopeduring each month, and thenumber of visitors risesthrough the summertime.
“We do get more familieswith children during the sum-mer, but we get a lot of sen-iors through here all yearlong,” said Worley.
Canned dinners and in-stant noodles are much-need-ed nonperishable staples, butMedaugh encourages donorsto send more nutritious foods,such as canned meats,canned tuna and breakfastcereals. Canned fruits andvegetables are always need-ed.
“Teens who are homealone during the day can fixthemselves a can of Spaghet-tios, or hot dogs and macaro-ni and cheese,” she said. “Ta-co dinner kits are popular,because they’re different,and we can sometimes get apound of meat to go with it.”
Morley said frozen dinnersare also easy to prepare.Pantry of Hope has a freezerfor hot dogs or microwavabledinners, but not all pantries do.
“The most important thingis, that when you donate, checkthe expiration dates,” saidMedaugh. “I can’t serve it ifit’s past the expiration date.”
Some of the other big non-perishable needs include tooth-paste, feminine products andtoilet paper.
At Pantry of Hope, theydon’t ask for income or resi-dency information, just whatcan they do to help. Families inneed can visit one time each
month.The Abundant Life ministry
at Hebron Baptist Church hasbeen in operation a little morethan two years, organizer GaleLawson said.
They distribute on the thirdThursday of every month inthe lobby of the church, locat-ed at 3435 Limaburg Road,Hebron.
They typically help between30 and 35 families “and some-times more than that,” shesaid.
Those who receive assis-
tance must live in Boone Coun-ty. Applications are availableat the church.
Lawson said during thesummer, they’ll ask in thechurch bulletin for donationsneeded for children “not get-ting the food as if they were inschool.”
While the ministry doesn’tyet have a plan in place for thesummer months, Lawson saidthere are items the food pan-try almost always needs, likepeanut butter and jelly, cereal,tuna and spaghetti. In the sum-
mer, they try to have sand-wiches, she said.
At Independence ChristianChurch, 5221Madison Pike,where the food pantry hasoperated for nearly sevenyears, coordinator SusanLynch said they’ve had to cutback to serving families onlyonce every two months, be-cause their supplies were solow.
Independence Christianopens their pantry each Fridaynight from 6 to 7 p.m. for resi-dents of Independence and
southern Kenton County.To donate to the food pan-
try, visit during serving hoursor call the church office at859-356-3525.
“We really don’t see a dif-ference because we serve onceevery two months. I don’tthink I’ve seen a differencebetween the summer and win-ter months,” said Lynch. “Wesee them pretty much year-round. A lot of our families areolder adults, two-person fam-ilies, so it won’t make a differ-ence between the seasons.”
She said cereals, cannedmeats and canned fruits arealways in need, along withpeanut butter.
When other church mem-bers decided to start a foodpantry, Lynch said she didn’tthink they would find supportor local families in need.
“Seven years later, andwe’re still doing it and stillserving,” she said. “That needis there everywhere. You justdon’t realize it.”

“I am so happy that I found your office in the telephone book. Ihave a very big fear of the dentist office. I gag easily and I don’t
have any tolerance to pain. I would not get my teeth cleanedor have any other dental work without sedation. I didn’t evenknow that it existed until April of last year. I needed a filling
replaced and I needed my teeth cleaned and I had put it off formany years because of my fear and my gag reflex. I would not
be able to go back to the dentist without sedation.”

My Mom, Mary Nader,really did follow the beatof a different drummer.
Mom was traditional inmanyways except when itcame to clothes. She wasthe first on our block towear petal pushers (we
call themCaprisnow). Notsomuchbe-cause theywere fash-ionable, butbecausethey werecomfort-able. I’m alittle bitlike my
Mom in that respect.I likebeingfashionable,
but comfort trumps fash-ion every time. Luckily,with the assortment ofclothing today, I can beboth.
When it came to food,Mom was “out there”, aswell. We ate squid when itwas just called squid, notCalamari andwe atewhat-ever was in season. Hermeager budget demandedit. She had the Mediterra-nean diet down pat, and asa mother myself, I appre-ciatemoreandmoreall thewisdom she imparted.
I’ve learned that onecanbeaMomwithouteverbearing children. My sis-ter,Judy, isagoodexampleof this. She has been like aMom to our nieces andnephews. So for all theMomsout there, biologicalor otherwise, the happiestofMother’s Day to you!
Pastry shopPavlova/Meringues
Nowthiswouldbeanel-egant, yet fairly easy, des-sert forMom.
8 extra large eggwhites, room temper-ature
1 teaspoon cream oftartar
1/4 teaspoon salt2 cupsgranulatedsug-
ar1 tablespoon vanillaPreheatovento175-200.
Line baking sheets withparchment.
Beat egg whites, usinglow speed until whites areloose and foamy. Addcream of tartar and saltand increase speed to me-
dium. Beat until whitesstand in soft but frothypeaks. Turn to high andadd sugar, about 2 table-spoons at a time, beatingfor 5 seconds after eachaddition. This assures sug-ars dissolves and me-ringues come out crispy,not too chewy.
The meringue will beshinyandwill fall intofirmpeaks when beater is lift-ed.
Place meringue into apastry bag with star orplain tip and draw a circle,starting from middle out.This will be your base.
Youcanmake thecircleas big as you like. Thenbuild up sides, about 3 lay-ers. Or just plop a largedollop of meringue ontoparchment and then take aspoon to hollow out center,making sure you still havea nice coating ofmeringueon the bottom in center.
Bake 2 hours, or untilmeringues are dry andcrisp throughout. Pullfrom parchment paperand store up to two weeksin airtight containers. Fillwith whipped cream andfreshfruit.Youcanalsofillwith lemon curd, pudding,whatever.
Makes two large Pavlo-
vas or 2-3 dozen smallones.

My grandson, Jack, in-vitedme to read to his sec-ond grade class at Guard-ian Angels’ school. “If youlike, bring in a treat”, hismom, Jessie, said. Theonly thing I had on handwas strawberries andchocolate, so I made choc-olate dipped strawberries.Talk about a hit. The kidswanted to know how tomake them. I told them I’dpublish the recipe forthem to make, and here itis. Easy enough for Jackand other little hands tomake forMom.
1 pound strawberrieswith stems
12 oz. favorite choco-latemorsels
Rinse, but do not hullberries. Drain and patcompletely dry.Melt choc-olate and remove fromheat while you still seesome lumps. Stir untilsmooth. Holding berriesbystem,dip3/4wayup.Seton sprayed pan or parch-ment paper. Put in frig, un-

Whether it is an officeparty, a social function, apicnic, or a meal out withfriends, we can some-times be challenged byfood choices when we aretrying to adopt or main-tain healthier food habits.Consider these tips formanaging potential foodminefields and still prac-tice healthy habits.
» Survey the Buffet.Before picking up a plate,look at all of the food op-tions and decide whichones youwill choose. Thisallows you to make a planyou can stick to while en-joying the foods youmight not make on yourown or get to enjoy often.
» Eatbeforeyougo. Ifyou are unsure of whatfaces you at the event, eatsomething healthy beforeyou go to help curb your
appetite.If you
are able tocontributeto themeal,take some-thing youknow youwill helpyou stick toyour newhabits thatothersmight en-
joy too. It doesn’t have tobe a salad, but it should besomething that fits intoyour new eating plan.
»Make the bestchoicesfromthoseavail-able. If there is only friedchicken on the table, takethe chicken and choose tonot eat the breading orskin. Choose whole wheatbreads or pastas, plainfruits and vegetables, and
foods without a lot ofsauce if they are avail-able. Ifnot, takesmallpor-tions of a few and enjoywhat you do take.
» Control your por-tions. Small servings on asingle plate that is notpiled high will be enoughto fill you up. If there issomethingyouparticular-ly enjoy, go back for a sec-ondsmallportion.Work tofill your plate half fullwith vegetables.
» Take your time. Re-member to enjoy the com-pany and friendship anddon’t focus somuchon thefood.Slowdownandenjoythe event and the peopleyou are with.
» Don’t like it? Don’teat it.One of the joys of apotluck is you can sampleitems youmight notmakeat home. Remember that
you tooka small portion totry, but if you don’t like it,don’t eat it. Why wasteyour “calorie salary” onsomething you don’t en-joy?
»Watch your bever-age choices. Opt for wa-ter or calorie-free bever-ages when possible.
Don’t deprive yourselfand don’t avoid the event.Makeaplanbeforeyougoand stickwith itwhile youare there. Remember, it isone meal of your life.Make the best choicespossible during the event.Most of all enjoy yourselfand what you do eat!

Question: I think Ifound some termites in apile of old firewood. Theylook like big ants withwings. Do ants ever havewings?
Answer: Yes they do.Warmer weather andspringtime showers sig-nal termites to emergeand fly into the air to findmates and start new colo-nies. That iswhy it is com-mon to see large numbersof winged termitesthroughout the month ofMay.
At first glance, it maybe difficult to distinguishbetween swarming ter-mites and winged ants. Atermite has straight an-tennae, a uniform, non-
constricted“waist” andfour wingsof equalshape andlength.Converse-ly, awingedant has el-bowed an-tennae(with asharp
bend), and three distinctbody sections, with a nar-row, constricted “waist”and “neck”, and two frontwings that are longer andwider than the two backwings.
Swarming termitesemerging from woodpiles, tree stumpsandoth-
er outdoor locations don’tnecessarily indicate ahome or building infesta-tion.
However, winged ter-mites found indoors usu-ally are a sign of an infes-tation that needs treat-ment. Although termitesswarming indoors diewithout causing damage,seeing thousands of thememerge inside can be anemotionally trying expe-rience. Winged termitesemerging from the baseof a foundationwall or ad-joining porches also usu-ally indicate that thehouse is infested and re-quires treatment.
Other indications oftermite infestations are
pencil-thin mud tubes ex-tending over inside andoutside surfaces of foun-dation walls, piers, sills,floor joists and the like.Also watch for damagedwood hollowed out alongthe grain with dried bitsof mud or soil lining thefeeding galleries.
Often there is no signof the worker termitesthat cause damage—s-mall, creamy-white in-sects with an ant-like ap-pearance. Infestationscan remain undetectedfor years, hidden behinddrywall paneling, floorcoverings, insulation andother obstructions. Dam-age to exposed wood isn’tnoticeable because the
outer surface usually isleft intact. It takes thekeen eye of an experi-enced professional to de-tect termite damage andtreat this problem.
Since eliminating ter-mites requires specialskills and equipment, it isbest to contact a pest con-trol company rather thantry to treat for themyour-self. Consider calling twoor three companies to re-quest inspectionstodeter-mine the extent and ap-proximate cost to treatthe termite problem. Thecompany should be li-censed by the KentuckyDepartment of Agricul-ture. Membership in astate or national pest con-
trol or management asso-ciation indicates an estab-lished firm with access totechnical and training in-formation necessary tocorrectly do the job. Al-ways ask for references.

ALEXANDRIA — At age14,Mitchell Turner has al-ready scored a perfect 36on the ACT in his firsttime taking the test mea-suring college readiness.
Turner is one of onlyeight students in eighthgradetoscoreaperfect36since April 2010, said Ka-tie Wacker, a spokeswom-an for ACT. In the pastfour years there havebeen 8,600 scores of 36from students in allgrades.
Kentucky requires allhighschool juniors to takethe test, and students cantake the test multipletimes in an attempt to bet-ter their score. All majorU.S. colleges accept ACTscores as evidence a stu-dent is academically pre-pared.
Turner, a member ofthe academic team atCampbell County MiddleSchool, said he took theACTnowbecause someofhis friends and class-mates took the test a yearago.
“I wanted to see how Istood with the other peo-ple who took it,” he said.
Turner said he willprobably take the ACTonce or twice more whilein high school to see howhe is doing. Regardless ofhowhedoes ifhe takes theACT test again, he canstill use the 36 when ap-plyingtocolleges.Hetookthe ACT at CampbellCounty High School April14, and found out hescored a 36 on April 22.
Turner found out aboutthe score by looking at theACTwebsite as his fatherRick drove him homefrom school.
“I did not think I didanywhere close to thatwell, so I was in shock fora fewminutes,” he said.
Turner said he spendsmore time playing videogames, about four hours aday, than he does study-
ing.He dreams of becom-
ing a video game design-er, but hasn’t decided thatis what he wants to do forcertain.
His father, Rick, saidhis son does study eachnight before going to bedbecause it helps keep theinformation fresh in hismemory each day.
“His gift is he has theability of once he sees it,he’s got it,” said his father.
Turner said he didstudy for the ACT, but notevery night. When his fa-ther borrowed a bookfrom the library abouthow to study for the ACT,he read it. Turner said he
also answered practicequestions online aboutonce or twice aweek as heprepared for the ACT.
“I didn’t expect to dothat well,” he said. “I wastrying to do all right.”
His mother, Cathleen,said middle school mathteacher Faye Smith andscience teacher DoniBeaupre had a positive in-fluence.
Smith is also coach ofthe academic team andthe Math Counts studentteam.
“The only reason hetook the ACT is he’s doingreally well in academicteam and Math Counts,”said his mother.
