It’s a little cool on aThursdayDecember morning in the park-ing lot of theFlorenceBranchofthe Boone County Public Li-brary. Payne, however, doesn’t

THE POINT B1Snow didn’t deter the fun

A new anonymous tip-lineaims to discourage underagedrinking.

“One of the things we taskedourselves with was underagedrinking,” said Florence PoliceCapt. Linny Cloyd, amember ofthe Boone County Alliance forHealthy Youth, a communitydrug prevention coalition.

The group put out a “prettycomprehensive plan” on how

they wanted to address the is-sue, Cloyd said, that included atown hall meeting and placingstickers in stores remindingpeople to not buy for those whoare underage.

The next step, he said, is therecently launched underage al-cohol tip-line. It’s a joint ven-tureventurebetween theBooneCounty Sheriff’s Department,Florence Police Departmentand the Boone County PublicSafety Communication.

The tip-line is a dedicated

line into police dispatch centerthat allows people to “anony-mously report episodes of un-derage drinking,” said Cloyd.

Call the tip-line at 859-261-1001.

Cloyd says that over the pastfew years the alliance’s atten-tion has switched to the heroinproblem plaguing the area.

Whileheroin is still “on topofourefforts, this is somethingse-riousenoughthatwefelt likeweneeded togoaheadandput out,”he said.

This is something they want-ed to pursue not only becauseunderage drinking is illegal,but, from the law enforcementperspective, “we’re getting sotired of having to do that knockon the door,” said Cloyd, lettingparents know that for whateveralcohol-related reason, theirchild won’t be home.

While Cloyd said he doesn’tknow if it’s necessarily an over-whelming problem, officialsare “trying to get ahead of theproblem before it becomes a

problem.”The Boone County Sheriff’s

Department has zero tolerancefor underage drinking, spokes-man Tom Scheben said.

“The first thing alcohol ef-fects is your judgment andthat’s a pretty volatile mixturewhen you mix that with youth,”he said.

More information about theBoone County Alliance can befound on Facebook.

Sperling, outreach man-ager of the Boone CountyLibrary.

Through monetarycontributionsmade by or-ganizations includingTheBoone County ExtensionHomemakers and TheFlorence Woman’s Cluband various individuals,the FreestoreFoodbankMobile Food Pantry hasallowed the library to dis-tribute food toneedy fam-ilies.

Since January 2013,the libraryhashelpeddis-tribute 60,000 pounds offood and one box truck ofpersonal care items to1,292 households.

The effort started in

last year, Sperling said,when a group of BooneCounty residents gath-ered to look at ways tohelp the homeless andworkingpoor.The library,she explained, was theonly organization in thecountywith the volunteermanpower tomove the ef-fort forward.

“So we took it on,”Sperling said. “When youlook at the hierarchy ofneeds ... how do you teacha child to read if he or sheis hungry? How can any-one be their best self ifthey are hungry? Thistells people, we care foryou and the library.”

According to Sperlingthis helps build a relation-ship with library and pa-trons who are in need.

She said with a rela-tionship established, the

library can further helpthese individuals. The li-brary offers free comput-er classes and Internetuse for job searching, forexample. Sperling saidthey can also help the in-dividuals learn and con-nect with other helpfulagencies within the coun-ty.

“At the Florencebranch, we know thehomeless populationwell,” she said. “Theycome in to read and usethe computers to searchfor jobs.”

Sperling said these re-sources are of value andare making a difference.

“There was one manwho came in to use thecomputers andheworkedso hard on his resume andjob search,” she said. “Hewas at it every day. Whenhe got a job, he brought inhis family to tell us thankyou.”

FreestoreFoodbank’scommunity partnershipmanager for KentuckySarah Celenza said the li-brary has been a great

partner.“Melanie of the Boone

County Library under-stands that many mem-bers of her library’s com-munity need much morethan books and she hasdone an amazing job atgarnering support fromvolunteers, staff and do-nors,” Celenza. “We arethrilled to partner in thenetwork she’s built, get-tingnutritiousfoodquick-ly to people who need itmost. In a county wherethere aren’t a lot of or-ganizations in place tomeet the basic needs ofstruggling families, the li-brary is an important andaccessible communityhub.”

According to the Fre-estoreFoodbank, thereare 13,330 food insecureindividuals in BooneCounty. Of that number,4,430 are children.

Bianca Scott’s 5-year-old son and 4-year-oldcousin are among thosechildren in need.

Scott, of Florence, is asingle mom, raising both

children. She’s workingand going to school, butmoney is tight.

“I’m doing it by my-self,” she said. “My auntdoesn’t help,my son’s daddoesn’t help. I don’t getfood stamps. I have a jobbut there are still a lot ofbills and things like foodarehardtobuy.Thishelpsa lot.”

She said knowing thatothers in the communitycare and are willing tolend a hand makes her“happy.”

“There’snocost for thefood, that’s money I cansaveforother things. I ap-preciate the help.”

Sperling said in addi-tion to donors, the out-reach would not be possi-ble without volunteers.The library is alwayslooking for more peoplewhowant to help. And, it’sa worthwhile project thatmakes you feel good, shesaid.

“I see so much joy onpeople’s faces whenthey’re here,” Sperlingsaid. “I’ve had people tellme ‘This month I was go-ing to have to decide tobuy food or mymedicine.Now that I have food, Ican afford my medica-tion. We want people toknow you are very wel-come in our library.”

fice.”“This would provide

justa little (flexibility) toensure therewouldn’t beanydisruption in serviceif there were changes inthe office,” Earlywineexplained.

“Speaking of thecourt’s contribution, Ithink it’s important tonote that the contribu-tion we propose in 2014is, in fact, less than itwasin 2007,” Reuthe said.The budget anticipatesreceiving 10.7 millionfrom the fiscal court.

According to Reuthe,the department is antici-pating a 5 percent in-crease in health carepremiums while contri-butions to the state re-tirement system will de-crease by 1.22 percentfor non-hazardous em-ployees and 1.39 percentfor hazardous employ-ees.

The department an-ticipates not buying newpatrol vehicles in 2014since the fiscal court ahsbeen updating the fleetwith more modern vehi-cles over the last twoyears.

The department, saidReuthe, went exclusive-ly with the Ford policeInterceptor vehicles,“and that model hasshown to be a true work-horse over the last twoyears, saving us moneyin fuel and maintenancecosts.”

The budget can beviewed by visiting thethe Boone County Sher-iff’s Office, 3000 ConradLane, Burlington, or theFiscal Court offices,2950 Washington St.,Burlington.

Gridlock inWashington,D.C., has often caused the busi-ness community to wonder ifwe could ever see progress onissues that could help our busi-nesses or communities moveforward. Increasing our energyindependence, immigrationreform, and tax reform need tobe in the debate. Unfortunately,we wonder if our federal offi-cials could agree that the sky isblue. There is no willingness tocollaborate to reachmeaning-ful solution – just a digging inof heels.

Frankfort, however, is notWashington. As we head intothe 2014 General Assembly andwe have reasons for optimism.

Last year’s General Assem-bly saw lawmakers come to-gether to solve some of themost pressing issues facing

Kentucky’sfuture. Ourschools don’treceive enoughfunds to buytextbooks forstudents; ourroads andbridges aredeterioratingand criticalpublic invest-ments needsare unable to

bemet. More than $30 billion inunfunded liability to the publicpension system limits the statefrommeetingmany of theseobligations. If this wereWash-ington, there would no doubthave been a breakdown alongpolitical party lines and noresolutions. But Frankfort isnot Washington and the Gener-

al Assembly worked with Gov.Beshear to make progress onthe pension issue. Although theissue still needs some work, weare much closer than ever be-fore to a sustainable fix.

What the 2013 General As-sembly showed was that elect-ed officials could come togeth-er to be problem solvers. It’swhat we should all expect.

Seeing this collaborationgives us confidence that Frank-fort will come together again in2014. For our businesses andcommunities in Northern Ken-tucky, the following issues needto be addressed:

» The Bridge. We’ve seenunprecedented collaborationbetween governors Beshearand Kasich, and look to ourN.Ky. caucus to work to devel-op a fair financing plan.

Enough talk. The time is now tomove forward for the safety ofour residents, health of ourbusinesses and the region’scompetitiveness.

» Taxmodernization. Toattract new jobs and retainexisting ones, the Common-wealth must put into place a taxcode that reflects a 21st centu-ry economy. Many good recom-mendations are on the table soit’s time to act.

» New revenue throughexpanding gaming. Gaming isalready here. For NorthernKentucky gaming is as close asonemile across the Ohio River.Give people the chance to voteon whether we keep our dollarshere or send them to neigh-boring states to pave theirroads and build their schools.

Being a legislator is hard

work. UnlikeWashington, it’s apart-time job. Legislators havefull-time jobs back home withother responsibilities, but givethose up each January to repre-sent us in Frankfort. Leadinginto this session, let’s take aminute to recognize that Frank-fort is not D.C.

In Frankfort, our legislaturehas learned the benefits ofworking together rather thanhave partisan debates that onlyharm constituents. If you see alegislator, thank them for theirservice, and tell them you lookforward to seeing the samelevel of cooperation with moreresults in 2014.

General Assembly shows reasons for optimism

SteveStevensCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

What often sets the North-ern Kentucky region apart isour willingness to collaborateto solve common problems.When the region was facedwith an astounding rise in thenumber of people addicted toheroin, we came together onceagain.

The result was the NorthernKentucky Heroin Impact re-sponse group’s plan, “NorthernKentucky’s Collective Re-sponse to the Heroin Epidem-ic,” released in mid-November.

The plan was the product ofmore than a year of work bythe heroin impact group. Webrought together experts fromlaw enforcement, local govern-ment, mental health/substanceabuse providers, health careand the business community.

The group pulled togetherdata on the impact of heroinabuse. We saw how drug over-dose deaths in Kentucky qua-drupled between 1999 and 2013.The estimated economic im-pact of heroin abuse in ourstate is $6 billion each year.Northern Kentucky’s rate ofhepatitis C, a common diseaseamong IV drug users, is twicethat of the state and 24 timesthat of the United States.

Then, we researched solu-tions to the problem. We gath-

ered informa-tion fromacross thecountry, ana-lyzed it andbrought forthrecommenda-tions for whatwe think canwork in North-ern Kentucky.Those strate-gies arespelled out in

the plan, which can be down-loaded athttp://www.drugfreenky.org.

The plan outlines five areasof response. Think of these aspieces of one big pie – all arenecessary to successfully ad-dress heroin abuse in NorthernKentucky.

First, we must reduce sup-ply. Under the leadership ofthe N.Ky. Drug Strike Forceand local law enforcement, weneed to decrease the availabil-ity of heroin and other drugson our streets.

To reduce the demand forheroin, we need to focus onprevention, treatment andsupport in recovery. We needprograms that promote socialand emotional health. We needto learn how to use prescrip-tion drugs wisely, so their use

doesn’t lead to heroin abuse.Wemust expand and improvetreatment options for peoplewho are addicted. This in-cludes long-term residentialtreatment for adults and teens,as well as outpatient programs.When a person is undergoingtreatment, we need wrap-around services, like housingand job programs, to help indi-viduals focus on lifelong recov-ery.

Until people with heroinaddiction obtain treatment fortheir condition, we must de-crease the risk of transmittingdiseases and prevent themfrom dying from an overdose.We need to keep used needlesand syringes from our streets,parking lots, and other placesin the community and be ableto help people with heroinaddiction stop sharing theirdevices and get in to treat-ment. Wemust make the medi-cation naloxone more widelyavailable so that overdoses canbe quickly reversed and livessaved.

Fourth, we must advocatefor changes in legislation, edu-cation and programs that willenable Northern Kentucky toeffectively banish heroin fromour neighborhoods and com-munities and care for our

friends and family membersliving with addiction.

Lastly, we must have thecapacity to manage the changewe seek. We need to build onthe work of the heroin impactresponse group with the infra-structure needed to move theplan forward, implement strat-egies, ensure accountabilityand measure progress.

There is no turning back –this problem will not go awayon its own and we cannot af-ford to stay as we are. We havea plan now and wemust con-tinue to move forward to carryit out. For the sake of our chil-dren, our families, our neigh-borhoods, our businesses andour communities, we mustsucceed. And wemust do thiswork together.

Accomplishing these taskswill not be easy, and will re-quire numerous resources.But, our communities will bebetter, stronger and healthierif we can get those in needback on track and on a healthi-er, productive path. All of usbenefit.

My13-year-old daughterLauren and I rushed to the LaGuardia airport after beinginterviewed on “Fox andFriends” – our 15 minutes (ac-tually 5 minutes) of fame. Thebook we wrote together aboutcapitalism for students startedas a summer project and endedup in commerce on Fox News –strong proof that capitalismlives in America. To boot, ithappened at Christmas. NewYork City knows how to deckthe halls.

I admit, I sat next to thegate feeling proud, maybeeven a little smug. However, inmy experience God has a wayof humbling us, sometimeswhen we need it the most. Hu-mility came in the form a burlyman with a Russian accent.Dmitriy approached me andannounced, “Thank you for

doing a book toteach capital-ism. What arepeople doing toAmerica?”

I asked himwhat he meant.Dmitriy lit upat the invita-tion to discusscapitalism,explaining thathis family“fled” the

Soviet Union to escape of gov-ernment control. He describedgovernment mandated wagesand benefits as robbing thehuman spirit. He then beganasking me a series of ques-tions.

Dmitriy – What do you sayto people who think capitalismis all about greed?

Rob – I’m concerned about

greed. I’m not sure capitalismworks well when greed is theprimary motivation.

Dmitriy – There are greedypeople in any economic sys-tem. I lived in it in the SovietUnion. Greed does not go awaywith communism or socialism,trust me.

Dmitriy – It’s far worse thanthat. If you move to socialismor communism, things happenthrough a series of govern-ment favors and pay-offs.Graft becomes the currency ofcommerce, not freedom andmerit.

Dmitriy – There are havesand have nots, far worse thanin America. When it’s all aboutwho you know, hard work andeducation don’t matter much.Eventually, it ends up bringingthe country down.

Dmitriy – I’m a software

engineer and executive in NewYork. What do you think myco-workers think of me?

Rob - If you’re this vocal, Ibet it’s tough.

Dmitriy – The young work-ers think I’m stupid. I lived inthe world they want and Ithank God every day that weescaped it. I earned three de-grees here and lived the Amer-ican dream. Yet I’m the stupidone.

Most of us in America haveso much about which to bethankful and to celebrate, par-ticularly at the holidays. May-be it takes a person from theformer Soviet Union to fullyunderstand all of our country’smany blessings.

Snow didn’t delay Point’s fun eveningThe 43rd annual Joy to the

World benefit of The Point/Arcof Northern Kentucky was un-precedented. Expecting the sec-ond largest crowd ever – in ex-cess of 800 people – the Dec. 6fundraiser at Horseshoe CasinoCincinnati was directly impact-edbyanuninvitedguest.MotherNature pounded the area withsnow and paralyzed local trafficfor hours. Even so, more than400 supporters braved the ele-ments and helped raise morethan $100,000 for people with in-tellectual/ developmental dis-abilities.

Those able to attend enjoyeda holiday evening, which includ-ed welcoming Sinatra songsfromDon Fangman, dinner, andthe auctioning and raffling ofmore than 200 items. ShereePaolello of WLWT-TV newsagain served as master of cere-monies, and was able to keepthings on schedule despite thedelayed arrival of many guestsdue to the snow.

A highlight of the eveningwas the presence of TeddyKremer, theReds’ honorarybat-boy whose story appeared onESPN’s “E:60” show after being

featured in an Enquirer story.After working at Redsfest, Ted-dy was one of the few celebrityauctioneers able to make thateveing. Teddy and Sheree auc-tioned off his limited editionTopps baseball card, given toThe Point by Teddy’s parents,and generated $900.

“While the snow storm pre-vented us from having a fullhouse,” said Judi Gerding, ThePoint’s president. “Thanks to thesupport of our sponsors, guests,and volunteers, The Point wasstill dealt a winning hand.”

DECEMBER 26, 2013 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • B3LIFE

I’m going to have tomake sure I put makeupon before going out to thegrocery or retail store.The past couple of timesI was at these places,

readersstoppedme to chat.Both timesI was plan-ning onrunning inand outquickly soI didn’tbotherwith make-up, only a

bit of lipstick. Well, I hadto laugh afterward at myvanity. (Why did I thinkno one would recognizeme “au naturel”?)

It’s times like thosethat keep me humble! Iwanted to let each of youknow howmuch I’veappreciated the caringand sharing that happenseach week through thiscolumn. Happy NewYear! I hope 2014 bringsmany blessings to yourhome.

Bob and John’seggplant casserole

Reader John Pancoastsent this, which is now afavorite for entertainingat his and wife Priscilla’shome. “From friend BobMartin of Loveland,”John said. John addedfresh, coarse driedbreadcrumbs on top forextra crunchiness. I’mlooking forward to mak-ing this myself. John saidif you use a 9-inch by13-inch pan, you’ll getmore crunchy top sur-face area.

1 large eggplant, peeled andcut into 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 sleeve of Townhousecrackers (about 40crackers), crumbledcoarsely

1 cup whipping cream8 oz. shredded extra-sharpcheddar

1 tablespoon lemon juice(optional)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Heat six cupswater to full boil in large

pot. Add lemon juice ifdesired (some think itkeeps eggplant fromdarkening). Add eggplantto boiling water. Stireggplant frequently, itwill be floating on top ofwater. Cook just untilwater starts to return toa boil, about three min-utes. Do NOT overdo thisstep or eggplant willbecome rubbery! Drainand transfer to sprayedtwo-quart casserole.

Sprinkle crackers on top.Pour in cream and addcheese. Stir until blend-ed. Bake uncovered for 1hour or until it starts tobrown on top and gets alittle crusty aroundedges.

Priscilla Pancoast’seasy corn pudding

Another Pancoastfavorite. Let me know ifyou want this recipe.“Everyone who tastes itwants the recipe,” Pris-cilla told me.

No-fuss standing ribroast

One of the meat cut-ters at the grocery toldme he has success withthis holiday roast everytime he makes it. Gosh, apretty good testimonialcoming from him. Sear-ing the roast on the out-side at a high temper-ature insures a moistinside. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Season rawroast as desired. Placerib side down in a panand roast 10-15 minutes.Careful here, you mayget some splattering.Reduce oven temper-ature to 250 degrees androast until thermometerreads about 125 for rareor up to 145 for medium.The roast continues tocook at least 5 degreesmore when it’s out of theoven. Let it rest, tentedloosely with foil, forabout 20-30 minutes be-fore carving.

Caribbean citrussalad dressing

I really like this for aholiday buffet. Let guests

drizzle on top of saladmade with mixed greens.This can be made severaldays ahead. If you havesome fresh parsley, tossa bit in. Taste beforeadding salt and pepper.Whisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄2 teaspoon garlic or to taste1 tablespoon honey1 tablespoon Dijonmustard2 tablespoons olive oil1⁄3 cup orange juiceconcentrate, thawed, or totaste

Brunch eggcasserole withsausage, potatoesand cheese

Nice for that NewYear’s day brunch. Sautésausage ahead of timeand bring to room tem-perature before continu-ing.

1pound hot pork sausage or

your favorite, cooked3 cups frozen hash browns,thawed completely

12 oz. shredded cheddar12 large eggs, lightly beaten2 cups 2 percent milk orwhatever you have

Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Place hashbrowns in sprayed 9-inchby 13-inch pan. Top withsausage and cheese.Whisk eggs milk andseasonings and pour ontop. Bake 50-60 minutesuntil somewhat puffedand golden. Toothpickinserted in center shouldcome out clean.

B4 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • DECEMBER 26, 2013 LIFE

Question: My lawn,garden and landscape allseem to be going down-hill. Even with all therain, several plants diedthis fall, and I did notharvest much producefrom the garden either.

Answer: Plant roots,then branches, die backduring dry years, andthen further declineoccurs in wet years like2013, from root rot due tositting in water-loggedclay soils with low oxy-gen. Add to this the rav-ages of various air-borneand soil-borne plant dis-eases, and attack fromvarious insects, includingthousands of emerald ashborers now in Northern

Kentucky, and it be-comes clear why so manyplants are dying. Be-cause of all these “natu-ral factors” that bringdown plants, it becomesessential that we do “ourpart” as “plant man-agers” to keep the plantsfrom going into stress.Therefore, as we ap-proach the new year, let’smake some resolutions.

New year’sresolutions for thegardener

» I will never toptrees, or pay someoneelse to do it, because itshortens the life of thetree, makes it weaker

and more apt to breakapart, and causes sun-scald, frost cracks, andattack from insects anddiseases.

» When pruning atree, I will never leave abranch stub, but will cutback to another sidebranch that’s at leastone-third the diameter ofwhat it’s attached to, orcut back to the maintrunk, leaving only the“branch collar” or swell-ing near the trunk (usu-ally sticks out only aquarter- to a half-inch forsmall branches, or oneinch for largerbranches). If a longerstub is left, it will die,and will eventually rot

out the larger branch ortrunk below it.

» Whenmulchingaround trees, I willmulch only three inchesdeep, and I will never letthe mulch touch thetrunk of the tree, andcertainly I will never do“volcano mulching,”piling the mulch high upon the tree trunk, sincethis causes the tree barkand trunk to rot slowly,since the mulch trapsand holds too much mois-ture during the wet sea-sons, and it also encour-ages moles and fieldmice to chew off the barkof the tree trunk, killingthe tree.

» I will always obtain

lists of disease and in-sect-resistant plants fromthe local CooperativeExtension Service Officebefore planting, especial-ly for disease-susceptibleplants like apples andcrab apples, where manyresistant varieties exist.

» I will always submita soil sample before ap-plying lime to my soil,and before planting alawn, flowers, fruits,vegetables, trees orshrubs, (free throughyour local Northern Ken-tucky County ExtensionOffice).

Mike Klahr is the BooneCounty extension agent forhorticulture.

Garden prep may start with resolutions
