“I don’t go a day withoutsinging,” she said.

ALEXANDRIA — CampbellCounty Fiscal Court announcedA.J. Jolly Golf Course will re-open April 27 at the April 10meeting.

The county-run golf courseclosed early, Aug.15, after all18greens were damaged beyondrepair. Golf course support forthe year was originally budget-ed at $160,000 for the year, saidCampbell County Administra-tor Robert Horine.

“As a result of the closurethat number turned into$400,000,” Horine said.

The golf course has requiredadditional financial supportfrom the county for severalyears, and is not a new issue, hesaid.

Horine said after the fiscalyear ends June 30 an exact totalcost for golf course support beknown.The final cost number isexpected to be very close to the$400,000 estimate, he said.

Rounds of golf played on thecourse in April, May and June

will have a financial impact onthe final tally.

“Thekey isweget somegoodweather in May and June andget somepeople tocomeoutandplay golf,” he said.

Horine said a loss of reve-nues from golf rounds played,and thecost to continue tomain-tain the coursewas the primaryreason for the increase in golfcourse support – and not thegreens damage itself.

nuescoming in fromAug.15 until today,” he said.

Some money wasspent on grass seed andsand to repair the greens,Horine said. A limitedfour-person staff waskept on, and they nur-tured the new greens, hesaid. The four staffmem-bers retained were a golfpro, course superinten-dent and two full-timemaintenanceworkers, hesaid. Staff labor costswere already built intothe course budget, Ho-

rinesaid.Therewerealsocapital costs.

“Recently we had tobuy a new greens mowerand a roller for thegreens. Those are exam-ples of things we neededto pay for,” Horine said.

The new greens havenot been rushed, and willbe ready for play April27, he said. Work thatmight cause thegreens tobecome lumpy, includingaerating the soil, has al-ready been done beforethe season, Horine said.

Horine said they ex-pect golf course supportto return to around$160,000 for the next fis-calyear.Manypublicgolfcourses, including Ken-ton County’s and BooneCounty’s receive some fi-nancial support becauseof a general downwardtrend in the number ofrounds of golf beingplayed, he said.

The new golf ratesunanimously approvedby fiscal court April 10for the upcoming seasonare expected to bring inapproximately $30,000 innew revenue and are astep in the right direc-tion, Horine said.

“Wehavebeenencour-aged and challenged byfiscal court to find waysto reduce and eliminate

that program support al-together,” Horine said.

It will cost $1more for18-hole greens fee, $1more for 18-hole cart fee,and 50 cents more fornine holes of play. Ratesfor junior play and sea-son passes will remainthe same.

Matthew Elberfeld, fi-nance director, said hemet with Golf Pro TerryJolly and they reviewedthe cost to play at otherarea golf courses.

“We think that this isthemost increase thatwecan get to generate themost revenue withoutlosing rounds,” Elberfeld

said. “If you increaseyour rates too much thengolfers go elsewhere.”

Judge-executiveSteve Pendery said thecounty should still becompetitive with othergolf course operators.

Alexandria area resi-dent Ken Moellman Sr.repeated his ongoing re-quest to fiscal court, atthe April 10 meeting, foran exact total cost to thecounty from the greensdamage and early clo-sure of the course.

Penderysaid thecoun-tywill letMoellmanknowwhen they have an exactnumber.

Schwartz shared withthe crowd what BishopBrossart has meant tohim.

“I owe this school, thisfoundation of my youngadult life, all the memo-ries I’ve been blessedwith,” Schwartz said.

Principal RichardStewart said his hope isthat the expanded build-

ing will serve as a light-house, a beacon of light toguide the students, simi-lar to the light that guidedthe school’s namesake,FerdinandBrossart, tobe-come the only bishop ofthe Diocese of Covingtonto be born and raised inCampbell County.

BRIEFLY

ALEXANDRIA—Perma-nent concrete speedhumps will be built onthree Alexandria streetsto replace rubber speedhumps the city removesduring winter.

The safety committee

of Alexandria City Coun-cil discussed the use ofspeed humps within thecity during a Thursday,April 11, special meeting.

The committee votedunanimously to recom-mend replacing the threetemporary speed humpson Constable Drive withpermanent concrete

humps in the upcomingfiscal year starting July 1.

“What I think we wantto do is replace them onthe streets where we cur-rently have them,” saidcouncil member StaceyGraus.

Temporary speedhumps are already in useon Breckenridge Drive

and Panorama Drive inthe summer, and willeventually be replacedwith permanent year-round concrete speedhumps too, said Graus .

Graus said in lookingatthe speed hump issue, it is“almost getting to be a no-brainer” to use themmoreif there is even amarginal

need.There are no real con-

cerns about concretespeed humps damagingcars or city snow plowsbecauseof theirdesign,hesaid.

“The only harm is thatit’s going to slow peopledown,” Graus said.

Until concrete humps

are in place, the tempor-ary rubber speed humpswill be installed again onthe streets where theyhave been, said SamTrapp,publicworksdirec-tor.

The temporary speedhumps cost the city a totalof $12,000, Trapp said.

SCHOOL NOTES

Though St. Thomas School issmall, their academic teamshad some big wins this seasonand at the Kentucky Associa-tion for Academic Competi-tion’s Governor’s Cup tourna-ment.

The junior high team, whohad an undefeated season in theNorthern Kentucky AcademicLeague, came in second overallat district and regional levels,and had students place in ninthand 12th out of 130 students inwritten categories at the statecompetition in March.

The Sixth Grade Showcaseteam saw success at their tour-nament in December, placingsecondplaceoverall andreceiv-ing medals in several catego-ries.

“I think it’s reallygreat toseesuch a little school do so well,”said Principal Barry Thomas.“It’s great that our studentshave this opportunity to reallyblossom and be recognized forit.”

Thomas said the success ofthe teams wouldn’t be possiblewithout thededicationofparentvolunteers like Andrea Bunch,who coached the students.

Bunch, who has two daugh-ters on the teams, said she seesthe importance of offering thestudents this opportunity.

“This is important because itgives the kids a chance to seethevalueofacademicsandhavethat passion for learning andknowledge,” Bunch said.

Sixth-grader Gabriel Powellsaid when the academic teamcame into his class in fourthgrade to tell them about thecompetitions, he knew rightaway it was something hewant-ed to be a part of.

“The quick recall is verychallenging since you only havea few seconds to answer, but inthe course of it you learn somuch,” Powell said.

Thomas said the students on

the teams are very dedicated,practicing once a week afterschool.

“I think it says a lot about thekids that theyarewilling togiveup their time after school,”Thomas said.

For eighth-grader EileenBunch, the academic team hasbeenabigpart ofher life for thepast four years.

Eileen said she has alwaysloved learning, and the academ-ic team really gave her away toincrease and use her knowl-edge.

“In fourth grade, I learnedthat there was a sport for me,”Eileensaid. “Notasportwhere Iran around failing miserably atwhatever I was supposed to beaccomplishingwith a ball or netor something, a sport that exer-cisedmybrainwaswhat I need-ed, and that’s what I discov-ered.”

Beyond learning and com-

peting, being part of the teamoffered even more to Eileen,she said, and that’s the memo-ries and friendships she madeover the years.

Brossart breaking in new fieldALEXANDRIA — The Bishop

Brossart softball team has anew home field advantage thisyear. While it hasn’t translatedto wins yet, the Mustangs haveenjoyed a different brand ofhome cooking since returningfrom a long trip to Florida forspring break.

Brossart is3-9afterdroppinga 12-4 game to Dixie HeightsApril 10. The game was at theMustangs’ newhomefield in theAlexandria Community Park.

“They hit the ball so theyearned it,” said Brossart headcoachTomBaynum.“We’ll get itback together. We’re just strug-gling.We’re strugglingwith hit-ting. They can do it but we don’tdo it inbunches.We’ll haveahit-teror twobut it’snevertogether.We’ll get it together.”

The school and the city ad-ministration teamed up to turnthe field at the community parkinto a high school softball park.The area had some fencing andold wooden dugouts, but theschool added new fences andlarger brick dugouts. There isalso a storage area where theteam can store its equipment.

“They don’t have to drag ev-erything to Pendery anymore.

Theycanjust leave ithere,” saidBrossart athletic director MelWebster.

That benefit has added to oneof the biggest enhancementsover the team’s old home, Pen-dery Park in Melbourne. Thepark isnearRoute10andSt.Ma-ry School, which allows the

teamtostartpracticerightafterschool. It is not only a shorterbut easier drive than the 6.1-mile trek to Pendery, much of iton Riley Road, a winding ruralthoroughfare which connectsAlexandria to Ky. 8.

“It’sgoodfor thesafetyof thekids driving here,” Baynum

said. “Pendery has been great,but this is much closer for thekids. We can also practice earli-er and get them home earlier.”

The proverbial road to suc-cess has been bumpy and hardto negotiate of late but theMus-tangs have chances to find theopen road, staring with Lloyd at

home April 18. Seniors MariaGreis and Tricia Kramer havebeen the team’s top hitters sofar, hitting over. 500. Kramerhad eight stolen bases throughApril 10 to lead the team. KarlieShackelford has been the mainstarting pitcher.

“It’s only been the secondweek we’ve been on a field,”Baynum said. “We started offfast last year and ended up bad,so I’m hoping we reverse it thisyear.”

Briede Bill keepsmurders in prison

I am responding to a letterto the editor, April 11 issue ofthe Community Recorder,written by Barbara Briede re-garding the death penalty.

Once again Mrs. Briede isre-living the terror and losssurrounding themurder of herdaughter. She has suffered 20-plus years after her daughter’sdeath. She lost everything thatday and very soon – too soonher killer will be up for parole.

I stand with Mrs. Briede’sfamily and friends hoping herkiller will never be released.This showsnoremorse forwhathe has done. We can all be self-righteousabout thedeathpenal-ty but you can’t talk the talk ifyou haven’t walked the walk.

Thanks to Mrs. Briede’stireless efforts we have theBriede Bill which keeps mur-derers inprisonwhere theybe-long, for a very long time.Thank you, Barbara.

Inmates shouldn’t beroaming streets

I can’t believewhat I read ina recentCommunityRecorder.The city of Crestview Hills, acommunity with almost nocrime, will soon have countyjail inmates “cleaning up thecity, pickingup litter.” Startingin May, Kenton County con-victedcriminalswill be receiv-ing a guided tour of CrestviewHills and other communities.

The article stated that onlynon-violent offenders would beused. Shockingly, burglary andbreaking and entering are clas-sified as non-violent offenses.As a retired state trooper withmore than two decades of lawenforcement experience, Iknow that this decision will af-fect the safety and security ofCrestview Hills and any otherresidentialcommunity involvedwith the program. I wish ourelected officials would thinkthings through before makingdecisions likethis in thenameof“saving money.” Call or emailCrestview Hills City Hall or lo-cal city council members andsay “No, I don’t want inmatesroaming our streets!”

Sad time for libraryusers

Judge Ward’s recent rulingagainst Campbell County Pub-licLibraryandJudgeSumme’srecent ruling against the Ken-ton County Public Libraryleaves citizens, including li-brary patrons, with importantquestions:

Will the judges force the li-braries to operate according toa budget set decades ago? Willthey force the libraries to lockup their present operatingfunds and thereby cripple li-brary operations by closingbranches and laying off staff?This would be very sad foradults and children who regu-larly use our libraries.

Will those who are associat-edwith Taxed EnoughAlreadybe successful with cripplingthe Boone County Public Li-brary?Andafter thatwhatwillstop them fromdoing the samein other Kentucky counties orgoingafterother services suchas public schools, health ser-vices, public transit and sup-ports for seniors and disabled?

Final question:DoRecorder

readers have the intestinal for-titude to rescue our librariesby contacting their state legis-lators and the governor?

Library taxes moneywell spent

Kenton County CircuitCourt Judge Patricia Summehas recently ruled that theKenton County Public Libraryhas improperly raised its taxsince its creation in 1967.

My family and I have bene-fited greatly from this libraryfor some60years andconsiderevery one of the tax dollars wepaid for the library to havebeen money very well spent.

I urgeallKentonCountycit-izens to let their state repre-sentative and senatorknow thevaluethe libraryprovidestoallof us and insist they ensure theKenton County Public Libraryis properly funded to continuethe excellent work they havebeen doing.

We can only dream of theday when other public agen-cies provide such valuable ser-vices for so few dollars.

Ralph ArnspargerCrestview Hills

Outsourcing would beirresponsible

It has been brought tomy at-tention thatVillaHills has plansto outsource the police force toother local cities. As a seven-year resident of Villa Hills, Ihave noticed an increase in bur-glaries and other crime in thepast few years. In that samespan of time, I have only seenlaw enforcement a handful oftimes.Due to theoverwhelmingamount of crime in our city, Ifeel that this is an irresponsibledecision to outsource our safetyto another city.

As you know, Villa Hills isknown for being affluent and aprime place to live.. My wifeand I moved here expectingthis to be a “safe” neighbor-hood to raise our children.Out-sourcing our police depart-ment will no longer satisfy thecomfort and protectivenessthat we feel.

We rarely see patrolsthroughourneighborhoods,andoutsourcing their duties willonly add to the problems thathave developed in Villa Hills.My own neighbors are alreadyusingtheirownmoneytofortifytheir homes with fences, sur-veillanceequipmentandsecuri-ty systems. If and when our po-lice duties have been sent to an-other city, how quickly will ittake someone to respond to anemergency when one arises?How often would a patrol bethroughmyneighborhoodtode-ter crime and thefts?

As a local resident and voter,my vote will be against the ex-pansion of our police depart-ment any further than our cur-rent city limits. What I wouldvote yes on is to see more per-sonnel added to the force to fur-ther protect our reputation, andmost importantly our families.

Lastly,with outsourcing ourpolice to other cities, wherewould that money go? Wouldthose tax dollars be used forimprovements in other areasof Villa Hills? I can think of nobetter use for that money thanto strengthen our own VillaHills police force.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

You may have heard thatCampbell County CircuitCourt Judge Julie ReinhardtWard ruled recently that thelibrary has been improperlyadjusting its tax rate since1979. This issue stirs strongpassions with good reason;there simply is a lot is atstake. People on both sideshave opinions and are ex-pressing them in forcefullanguage. It’s important tohave productive conversa-tions about what the commu-nity thinks is valuable.

The library has not doneanything illegal. We havefollowed the law and ad-justed our tax rate and taxrevenues using the same lawthat all other taxing districtsuse. The Tea Party and oth-ers affiliated with them be-lieve the library has beenfollowing the wrong law. OnApril 1, 2013, Judge Wardruled in their favor. We planto appeal that decision.

While the Tea Party hasraised questions about taxrates, other questions havesurfaced that, truthfully, aremore important. It’s good todiscuss what’s valuable inour communities. We, astaxpayers, should be talkingabout what’s important to usas individuals, and to us aspart of a community. Strip-ping our communities ofwhat should be valuable is acommunity decision.

Some have said the li-brary’s actions in trying toexpand services to southernCampbell were the source ofthis problem. It was no se-cret when the library pur-chased land in 2007 to build anew branch. At the time, theonly public input was posi-tive. Times changed, howev-

er. When thenationaleconomydeteriorated,the library’sboard decid-ed to haltconstruction.In 2011 whenwe returnedto the deci-sion, we heldpublic meet-

ings, and ultimately askedthe voters to approve theconstruction. Sentiments hadchanged drastically and thepeople voted no.

We, the taxpayers and vot-ers, make these decisions. Ican’t see that putting the mat-ter before the public unveilsany wrongdoing. You canagree or disagree with the TeaParty’s stance, but they stillget to be a part of the con-versation. And so do you.

Do you think libraries arevaluable to your community?Do you think that a libraryhaving programs to encour-age library usage and literacyis “too much” library? Arehaving videos and music CDs“too much” library? Are com-puters and wireless Internetconnections “too much” li-brary? The voters said no tothe South Branch, but did theysay no to having any librar-ies?

The decisions reached thismonth by the circuit courtjudges have impact far be-yond tax rates. For manycommunities in Kentucky,library service could simplydisappear. For our library,the loss of revenue in return-ing to a 1978 tax rate wouldmean a severe and signifi-cant loss of services. That’snot rhetoric. It’s a fact.

For me, libraries are im-portant. Sure, I work in one,but I also bring home books,videos, music CDs, anddownload all kinds of e-stuffbecause the library exists –whether I work in one or not.I go to programs and enjoythem greatly. I take a day offand will hole up in a libraryspace somewhere and justread, listen to music andwrite. Having easy access toa library is important to me.

What does a strong publiclibrary mean to you? The TeaParty has their answer. Youhave the right to yours.

Library a valuable part of the community

JC MorganCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

In a recent article about theruling in the lawsuit againstthe Campbell County libraryboard, the attorney for thelibrary stated that the “libraryboard members have beengood stewards of taxpayers’dollars.” I tend to disagree.

According to the CampbellCounty PVAwebsite, begin-ning in 2007 the CampbellCounty library board beganpurchasing parcels of proper-ty for a south library branch.

In 2007, they purchased2.254 acres for $450,000 In2008, they purchased 1.280acres for $255,000 In 2011,they purchased 1.141 acres for$355,000.

That’s a total of $1,060,000for 4.675 acres of property insouthern Campbell County atan average cost of $226,737.96per acre.

In 2002, just five yearsprior to the libraries’ firstpurchase of the property,18.463 acres located directlyacross the street from theproposed south library branchlocation, sold for $400,000 or$21,664.95 per acre. The li-brary board paid $205,000.00more per acre than the prop-erty located right across thestreet.

On top of the $1,060,000

that they have paid for theproperty, the library boardhas spent thousands on engi-neering and surveying ex-penses. They have spent thou-sands for interior designs for

the new build-ing, tens ofthousands inattorney feesand thousandsmore for thereprinting of

the property tax bills whichhad to be reprinted after theproposed 27 percent librarytax increase ballot issuefailed.

They have paid nearly$100,000 to a firm that solicitsdonations from potential do-nors. And for the nearly$100,000 fee they paid, theyhave received only around$140,00 in mostly uncollectedpledges.

Has the library board real-ly been good stewards of ourtax dollars?

A number of colleges anduniversities recently an-nounced that they have recog-nized the need to change theirbusiness models. Their boardshave determined that pur-chasing property and con-structing buildings with all ofthe associated costs are no

longer affordable options.Therefore, they have begun toforgo purchasing propertyand building new structuresand have instead begun tooffer degree courses via theInternet.

The library board shouldinitiate the process of reduc-ing the number of buildingsand employees they currentlyhave and begin to focus on anew business model that im-proves electronic access tobooks, publications etc. Activ-ities such as Lego buildingcontests and cupcake bakingclasses are all fine activitiesbut when did they become theresponsibility of public librar-ies?

The library board will be-come good stewards of our taxdollars when they begin tofocus on a future that does notinclude the construction ofanother library building andall of the associated costs,both present and future. An-other library building is notonly unnecessary, it is some-thing that the majority ofcitizens of Campbell Countyvoted against, do not want andcan no longer afford.

HEBRON—Candace McGraw,the CEO of Cincinnati/North-ern Kentucky InternationalAirport since 2011, has, ac-

cording to employees, created a truefamily atmosphere at the airport.

McGraw was voted Northern Ken-tucky’s overall top employer by partici-pants in the Community Recorder’sfirst online Northern Kentucky BestBoss competition. Winners were alsonamed in each ofBoone, Campbell andKenton counties.

“She doesn’t justtalk the talk, she walksthe walk,” McGraw’snomination letterreads.

During her tenureleading CVG, McGrawhas overseen the rede-sign of Concourse A,the relationship withDHL and the arrival ofFrontier Airlines,while the airport beenrecognized for safetyand efficiency and wasnamed best regional airport two yearsin a row, the nomination reads.

“All of this is wonderful news for theCincinnati region, but Candace de-serves to be ‘best boss’ not because ofthese accomplishments, but because ofthe way she treats her fellow employ-ees,” the letter reads. “She preaches a‘family’ atmosphere and she backs it upwith actions."

Staff members sayMcGraw bringsflowers to her assistants or will treatemployees to an occasional breakfast

or lunch.McGraw discovered she was nomi-

nated after the fact.“It was really a tremendous honor,”

she said. “I think the staff here arefabulous. I love working with my col-leagues. They are so dedicated toCVG’s mission, dedicated to the com-munity. They treat this airport liketheir home and that’s the feeling wewant to have our passengers feel whenthey come here.”

When she learned she took the tophonors, McGraw said she was thrilled.

It was meaningful“because I really re-spect the people withwhom I work.”

McGraw said shetries to be collabora-tive in her manage-ment.

“The folks here arethe ones that do all theheavy lifting. I sort ofviewmy job as being ablocker, trying to takeany impediments out oftheir way so they cando their job.”

Born and raised inPittsburgh, McGraw,

who lives in Villa Hills, has been atCVG since 2009.

The airport, she said, has gonethrough a “tremendous” amount ofchange over the last few years.

“I think it’s important to let peopleknow their work is valuable and thatthey are valued in doing that work andthat as we’re going through the changeshere, we have a goal in sight andthey’re a part of that and they’re criti-cal to it, particularly in times of change.Folks need a steadying influence.”

CVG’SMCGRAWIS ‘BEST BOSS’

By Stephanie Salmonsssalmons@nky.com

FOUR QUESTIONSWITH CANDACEMCGRAWCandace McGraw, CEO of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, was voted

Northern Kentucky’s Best Boss in the Community Recorder’s inaugural Best Boss competi-tion. She answered a few questions for the Recorder.Q: Describe your management style in one word.A: Collaborative.Q:What do you think makes you a good boss?A: I try to have good listening skills. I also try to pick up on what’s not being said. I really

try to pay attention. I know that we spend the bulk of our quality hours of our day here atwork. We spend more time with our colleagues than we do with our families and you wantto make it a good working environment.Q:What do you enjoy most about working at CVG?A: I love the people here. We take our work very seriously, but we don’t take each other

very seriously. We laugh a lot. We try to make it relaxed, even though it’s very serious workwe do in terms of safety, in terms of security, in terms of customer service levels, but we tryto have fun doing it.Q: If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?A: I’m a lawyer by background and I had worked in Cleveland’s airport system before I

came here, but in my next life, if I had to do it all over again, I would open up a gelato standin Italy, by the Mediterranean.

He is also very supportive ofthe school’s teachers, Fields-Hunt said.

“I personally love workingfor Rick because he is neverjudgmental and is willing tohelp you improve instead ofpointing the finger,” Fields-Hunt said. “Rick is truly in itfor the kids andmakes thatevident everymorning when hearrives at school.”

ground and airare warmer,about 50 degreesor so. My hus-band Frank gotthe gardenplowed and alsoplowed gardensfor our neigh-bors, so every-one is eager tostart planting.We got most of

our root veggies planted, in-cluding potatoes, radishes andonions. The salad greens arealready popping up, as are thepeas.

I worked in my herb gardenfor days hoeing out the chick-weed, which is in fact a winterannual. I gave as much to thechickens as they would eat,and I also put some in our sal-ads. Chickweed contains calci-um, zinc, iron, vitamins A andC and some B vitamins. Plusit’s an appetite suppressant!Our ancestors happily pickedchickweed and dandelionleaves to replace vitamins andminerals lost during a meagerwinter diet devoid of freshgreens. As long as you have apositive identification and the

plants are “clean," enjoy themwhile they are young and ten-der.

Simple yeast rollsI was trying to make rolls

similar to the Hawaiian sweetyeast rolls that you buy. Ididn’t quite make it texturewise, but the taste is similar. Ifyou’re new to baking or intimi-dated by it, try these. I thinkyou’ll be pleased with results.I’m using fast/rapid rise yeasthere, not regular yeast.

21⁄4cups flour1⁄4cup sugar1 package (1⁄4oz.) fast/rapidrise/quick-rise yeast

1⁄2teaspoon salt3⁄4cup warmwater (120-130degrees)

3 tablespoons butter, melted, plusextra for brushing on rolls

Combine 11⁄2 cups flour, sug-ar, yeast and salt. Add waterand 3 tablespoons butter andbeat on medium speed untilsmooth, a fewminutes. Blendin rest of flour to form softdough. Knead a fewminutes.This makes dough smooth anddevelops gluten for texture.(Bless the dough by making across with your hand. It’s away to thank the Lord for yourabundant blessings). Cover, letrest for 10 minutes. Roll to a1⁄2-inch thick or so, cut withbiscuit cutter or glass. You’ll

get nine circles of dough if youuse a 21⁄2-inch biscuit cutter.Place 2 inches apart onsprayed cookie sheet. Brushwith butter. Cover and let risein warm place until doubled,about 40-50 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 andbake until light golden, about11-15 minutes. Brush with but-ter.

Yeast 101Regular yeast: For the most

part, this needs to be proofedin warmwater (105-115 de-grees) for several minutesuntil it starts to foam.

Fast/rapid rise/quick yeast:A more aggressive strain thatcan be mixed in with dry ingre-dients. It also tolerates higherheat.

Andre’s Jarlsberg cheesespread

You are the best readersand once again, came to therescue. If you recall, KimMar-tin wanted to make Kroger’sJarlsberg cheese spread athome. Gail C., a Burlingtonreader, told me she had askedone of Kroger’s deli employees

a couple years ago about thespread and was told it con-tained just shredded Jarlsberg,mayo and red onion. Andre,another reader, forwarded hisversion and I’m sharing thattoday. He said he and others inhis family agree “it is just asgood as store bought." Andregrates the cheese with theCuisinart grating blade. Hechops the onion fine (about a1/4 inch) by hand since Andrefeels like hand dicing will re-sult in less liquid onion. Smarttip!

Blend together

10 oz. or so Jarlsberg cheese1⁄2large red onion, 1⁄4-inch diceMayonnaise to taste

Tip from Rita’s kitchenJarlsberg is mild, buttery,

nutty and slightly sweet.

potatoes.” Linda would like aclone for this recipe from thisMontgomery, Ohio, restaurant.“Creamy and delicious,” shesaid.

Question: I over-seeded some bare patch-

es in mylawn inMarch.How soonshould Imow thenew grass?How highand howoftenshould Imowmylawn?

An-swer:Mow new grass assoon as it reaches normalmowing height. Gener-ally speaking, mow alllawn grasses oftenenough to remove no

more than one-third toone-half of the grassheight.

If your mower is setfor 2 inches, mow againwhen grass heightreaches approximately 3inches. Be sure not toscalp the lawn by mow-ing off most of the greenleaves.

For tall fescue lawns,a rule of thumb is to mowat five-day intervalsduring the spring, and atseven-day intervals therest of the year. If youhave a Kentucky blue-grass lawn, a seven-dayinterval usually is suffi-cient at a 2.5-inch mow-ing height. You probablycan extend that intervalduring hot, dry weather.

Don’t mow by thecalendar. Instead, watchthe grass grow, and mowfrequently enough to

remove no more thanone-third to one-half ofgrass height in any onemowing.

The first mowingmakes the lawn lookspring-like and veryattractive. Subsequentregular mowing hardensthe grass for droughtand heat stresses lateron.

So when the firstclump of grass growsabove the mowingheight, mow, even if a lotof the yard doesn’t needto be mowed yet. Not allgrasses start growing atthe same time. Grass onnorthern slopes, or inheavy clay soil, will startgrowing several dayslater than normal. Grassthat wasn’t fertilized inthe fall or early springalso has a delayedgrowth.

Following recom-mendations for mowingheight and frequencywill make your lawn-care duties easier andresult in a more attrac-tive yard. If your mowerhas a fixed, all-yearheight, set it at 2.5 inch-es.

However, if you caneasily vary the height,set it at 1.5 to 2 inches forthe first several timesyou mow this spring. Theshorter mowing heightwill help remove a lot ofthe winter-burned,brown grass blades. Andby exposing more darkgreen growth, it willtransfigure your lawninto the most uniform,attractive in the neigh-borhood. Move theheight up to 2.5 inchesafter you mow the grassseveral times.

To protect your grassfrom summer heat anddrought injury, raise themower height to 3 or 3.5inches after the weatherturns hot. However, re-member that high grass,

especially tall fescue,tends to fall over andmat down during hotsummer weather, caus-ing increased summerdisease problems.

In the fall, lower themowing height to 2.5inches. For the winter,you might want to lowerit again to 1.5 to 2 inches.This shorter height im-proves the turf’s winterand early spring color.Never let grass gothrough the winter at aheight of 4 or more inch-es, because it will matdown and become dis-eased.

For tips on how tosharpen your mowerblade, search “Boone-HortNews” on Facebook.

for an embroidery ma-chine for one of its busi-nesses, The Point Log &Design.

At the time, the busi-ness was offering silkscreening only, but dis-covered a need for em-broidery for uniforms,spirit wear, gifts andmore.

The goal was to raisethe funds by November,however, that goal wassurpassed and a total of$50,000 was raised.

The addition of the em-broidery machine allowsThe Point to be a one-stopshop for custom screenprinting and embroideryneeds.

DEATHS

Although the Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention recommendsroutine HIV screeningsfor most patients, justthree in 10 (32 percent)Kentucky adults ages 18-64 report that their medi-cal provider has discuss-edHIV testingwith them.

The Kentucky HealthIssues Poll also revealsthat providers are more

likely to discuss HIV test-ing with younger, lower-income, and African-American adults.

Other KHIP highlightsinclude:

Four in 10 (40 percent)adults report they havenever been tested forHIV.

Four in 10 (41 percent)African-American re-spondents said a medical

provider has discussedHIV testing with themcompared to three in 10(30 percent) white Ken-tucky adults.

Less than one in four(23 percent) adults be-tween the ages of 46 and64 reported their medicalprovider ever discussingHIV testing. The rate isconsiderably higher (42percent) for younger

adults, ages 18 to 29.It’s estimated that

4,500Kentuckians are liv-ing with HIV. Nationalstatistics indicate aboutone in fivepeople areHIVpositive do not know theyare infected.

The KHIP was fundedby the Foundation for aHealthy Kentucky andthe Health Foundation ofGreater Cincinnati. The

poll was conducted fromSept. 20 through Oct. 14,by the Institute for PolicyResearch at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati. A ran-dom sample of 1,680adults from throughoutKentucky was inter-viewed by telephone, in-cluding landlines and cellphones. The poll has amargin of error of plus orminus 2.5-percent.

Poll reveals surprising data on HIV
