STEPHANIE SALMONS/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER Boone’s first librarian retires after 40 years By Stephanie Salmons [email protected] See LIBRARIAN, Page A2 BURLINGTON De- spite a New Year’s Eve fire that destroyed a dry- er and caused smoke dam- age at the Boone County Animal Shelter, director BeckeyReiter says they are feeling very fortu- nate. “This was the best pos- sible scenario if it had to happen,” she said. According to Reiter, a fire broke out in the shel- ter’s industrial clothes dryer around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31. Animal control offi- cers Dustin Brown, a vol- unteer firefighter with the Falmouth Fire De- partment, and Alex Reis- enbeck, a full-time fire- fighter with the Hebron Fire Protection District, were both on duty and act- ed quickly to contain the fire. “We were actually very fortunate that it occurred while staff was here,” Re- iter said. In a Dec. 31 post on the shelter’s Facebook page, Reiter says the staff’s quick response “not only minimized damage, their action saved lives.” “How fortunate,” Reit- er said. “The first fire- fighters I ever had on staff and both happened to be on duty at the time.” “You plan and you drill and you practice for emergency responses and it’s not until something happens that you know how effective your plan is,” said Reiter. “This could have been such a devastating situation.” She said the fire was contained to the dryer; the replacement cost is $5,000 to $6,000. While no animals seemed to be in distress Dec. 31, Reiter said on Jan. 2 two cats were show- ing signs of respiratory distress and were sent to the Greater Cincinnati Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services in Wilder. “We’re just hand clean- ing the entire shelter,” said Reiter. “Now it’s just a lot of smoke damage. Boone County Admin- istrator Jeff Earlywine said the county was pleased to learn there were no injuries, human or animal, and the fire caused no significant property damage. “I think the employees, from all reports, acted quickly and decisively which played a part in minimizing property damage,” he said.

“I did have a connec-tion to the county,” Smithexplained. “They neededsomebody that would notleave immediately andwould hopefully settle in

the county ... The posi-tion suitedme and all theessential things all fellinto place.”

According to the li-brary’s website, bcpl.org, Boone County voterspassed a library tax in1973, and by July 1974temporary quarters hadbeen found, negotiations

for the site of the new li-brary building were un-derway and the firststaff members were atwork. The Boone CountyPublic Library opened at2Girard St., Florence, onOct. 14, 1974. That daymore than180 people vis-ited the library.

The library movedinto its permanent loca-tion at 7425 U.S. 42 inFlorence in June 1976.

At the beginning,thoughts weren’t of thelibrary’s distant future.

“We were livingmonth by month just toget the library estab-lished,” Smith said. “Sothere was no thought be-yond thenext year or twowhatwouldhappenat thelibrary.”

The atmosphere in theearly years “was great,”Smith said. The library’sstanding in statewidestatistics was coming upand circulation wasgood. They opened with8,000 books.

“We did little storyhours and crafts andwhatever we could withnot much room,” shesaid.

By that time the li-brary staff had grown tofour.

“I’ve saidmany times,at that time I neverdreamed that we couldbe what we are today,with the five biggerbranches and the little

community branch li-brary in Petersburg,”said Smith.

Smith, who was the li-brary’s technical ser-vices coordinator beforeshe retired, servedas thefirst library director for11years,where, she says,“I did everything, liter-ally.”

When the library’ssecond director came onboard, “we needed tobroaden our scope,”Smith said. “I was betterat the small manage-ment, hands-on, do ev-erything. We were need-ing todiversify ... andmybackground betterserved the library takingover as technical ser-vices coordinator.”

What does she likebest aboutworkingat thelibrary?

“How do you describea lifetime?” Smith asked.“First off, since I was alittle girl, I liked to readand I liked libraries. Iwas really hooked in theseventh grade ... So forthis, well, it was sort of adream come true youmight say because I got alibrary job.”

With a teachingcertif-icate in history and herparent’s desire for her tobecome a teacher, Smithsaid she thought shewould follow the familytrend and become one.

When Cobb startedthe program a year ago,there were twomeetingsthat drew around 125dads and kids. This year,he said they’re pulling inmore 200 dads and kidsfor each event.

TigerDadMattLehm-kuhl, father to a kinder-gartner and first-grader,said he thinks the pro-gram is a great idea.

“The idea of TigerDads is such a simple butsignificant idea,” he said.“Speaking at least frommy perspective, I neverthought about going tohave breakfast at schoolwith my kids. The pro-gram gives the dads anopportunity and an ex-cuse to skipwork or go inlate, in order to go to theschools and spend a

short, but very signifi-cant, time with theirkids.”

Lehmkuhl, whocoaches soccer and vol-unteers with the CubScouts and Girl Scouts,wasn’t always involvedin school activities.

“That was alwaysmom’s thing,” he said.“Even if it is only a fewtimes throughout theschool the year, my kidsstill talk about the littlethings we did and seenwhile at the Tiger Dadevent. I continue to do itbecause my kids seemproud to be able to showoff their dad. I enjoy thesmiles from not only mykids, but also the otherkids that are there. Evenat the early hours, mykids seemtoperkupa lit-tle more with having dadthere.”

the operating budget ofthe shelter.

Despite the fire, shel-ter operations continue asnormal, Reiter said. Theshelter is open and has a“responsibility to the ani-mals, and that includesgetting them homes.”

The shelter is accept-ing monetary donationsas well as supplies to as-

sist in cleanup includingpaper towels, Dawn dishsoap,mop heads and blan-kets.

Donations can bedropped off at the shelter,5643 Idlewild Road, Bur-lington.

FLORENCE — EricaAlmquist wants to makeadifference in theworld.That’swhyshe joined theFlorence Rotary Club’syouth organization, In-teract Club, when itformed last year.

“Interact Club is agreat opportunity forteens to get together andgo out and help others,”the 16-year-old Unionresident said.

Since the club’s intro-duction, members, ages12 through 18, have beenvolunteering throughoutthe community. Now,their sights are set aremaking an impact onchildren in the Domin-ican Republic.

The group is sellingcopies of “The Lord IsNot Through With MeYet,” by Kaitlyn Raw-

lings toraise mon-ey for atrip to theHighlandsDomin-ican Re-publicyouthcamp.

There Interactmemberswill assist youth campleaders and build rela-tionships with youthsfrom the Dominican Re-public.

“I’m really lookingforward toworkingwith-out he kids there,” Alm-quist said. “It’s impor-tant to do things like thisbecause it gives us, teen-agers, a chance to notthink of ourselves somuch. It gives you achance to think of otherswho maybe aren’t asblessed as you. It’s an op-portunity to help peo-ple.”

Theyouth camp is oneof several throughouttheworld that is support-edby theRawlingsFoun-dation.

The foundation wasfounded by John Raw-lings, who was pastor ofLandmark Baptist Tem-ple in Cincinnati. Raw-lings, who died last Janu-ary, is knownworld-widefor his contributions tothe founding of the Bap-tist Bible Fellowship, In-ternational Baptist Net-work and multiple youthcamps and collegesaround the world. Thebook Interact is selling iswritten by Rawling’sgreat-granddaughterand chronicles hisminis-try.

“We want to buildgood will and friend-ship,” said BarbaraRahn, who is the Flor-ence Rotary Club’s ad-viser for Interact Club.

UNION — She startedthe first archery pro-gram in Northern Ken-tucky 10 years ago, andnow Brenda Klaas ishappy to see the rest ofthe area catching up.

Schools such as Coop-er High School and Con-ner Middle School haveadded to the roster inBoone County, and sev-eral schools in KentonCounty have added pro-grams as well.

More than 300 partic-ipants tookpart ina tour-nament at CalvaryChristian School in Tay-lor Mill in November,and a similar tourney atTwenhofel MiddleSchool in Taylor Millfilled all its registrationspots in the fall.

“It’s great news,”Klaas said. “There’s stillplenty of room to grow.”

Archery became asanctioned sports activ-ity by the KentuckyHigh School AthleticAs-sociation last schoolyear and, in conjunctionwith the National Ar-chery in theSchoolsPro-gram, held its first statechampionships lastMarch in Louisville. TheKHSAA lists more than90 schools competing inarchery across the statewith competition in 14regions.

The NASP nationalsinMay 2013 in Louisvilledrew a record 9,426 par-ticipants, and USA Ar-chery reported 8.589clubs nationwide, morethan double from twoyears ago. Part of thena-

tional uptick has beenbecause of the populari-ty of the Hunger Gamesbook and movie series,at a peak now with therelease of the CatchingFire movie sequel star-ring Union native JoshHutcherson.

Ryle is in its firstyearof full sanctioningby theKHSAA. The Raiderswere allowed to partici-pate in the NASP statetourney last year, finish-ing 27th as a team withseveral high individualfinishes. Klaas said lastseason that the Raiderswould have two regionalmedalists if they hadbeen sanctioned.

Rylehasabout50kidsin the high school pro-gramthisyear, andGrayMiddle School on thesame campus has morethan 100.

“We have state inMarch, and then hope-fully nationals, and thenwe hope to take them tothe world tournament,”Klaas said. “We quali-fied last year but wedidn’t have enough kidswho were able to makethe trip.”

The Raiders practicetwice a week and aregearing up for the Twen-hofel tournament Jan.17-18.

Klaas, the schooltechnology coordinatorat Ryle, started the pro-gram in 2004 after herhusband took her to thestate tournament to sup-port friends in the High-lands High School pro-gram. She quickly sawthe sport was something

retary of the Army forMarketing anddirector ofthe Army Marketing andResearch Group. “Way isan outstanding scholar,athlete and citizen andweareproud thathe isourre-cipient of this prestigioushonor.”

Barker expressed howexcited he was about hisfriend receiving theaward and why he de-served such an honor.

“Andrew always put asmuch effort as he can intofootball and double in theclassroom.He’sdefinitelyvery deserving,” Barkersaid.

“He’s a great exampleof how you should handleyourself on and off thefield. It’s just awesomethat he won.”

Barker, who earnedenough credits to gradu-

ate from Conner HighSchool at the holidaybreak and will enroll atUKthismonth, completed4 of 6 passes for 54 yardsand led theWest to its firsttwo scoring drives in a28-6 win over the East inthe Alamodome.

RyleHighSchool grad-uate Conner Hempel hada standout season thispast fall for the HarvardUniversity football team.

The Crimson were 9-1overall and won the IvyLeague championship bybeating Yale 34-7 in theseason finale Nov. 23. Itwas Harvard’s 250th all-time league win.

In a game nationallytelevised on ESPN, Hem-pel was 19-of-26 for 209yards and two touchdownpasses. He rushed for 57yards on 10 carries aswell.

For the season (eightgames), he completed 66percent of his passes for1,866 yards and 15 touch-downs, while rushing for259 yards and five TDs.Hemissedtwogamesdur-

ing the year.He had four TD passes

in a game twice, alsothrowing for more than300 yards in each one, in-cluding a career high of345yards inhis first start,awin at SanDiego. The 66percent passing is thirdhighest in Harvard histo-ry.

He was third in the IvyLeague in passing yardsper game and honorablemention all-league selec-tion.

“If you’re going to playquarteback for Harvard,you got to be a multi-di-menstional guy,” saidHarvard head coach TimMurphy. “He can do that.He’s an excellent runner.He’s a 1,000-yard rusherin high school.He’s done agreat job throwing theball and he creates a lot ofproblems for defenses.Conner was playing his

best football of the year.”The6-foot-3, 215-pound

sophomore is a sociologymajor at the prestigiousIvy League school. Har-vard, like other IvyLeague schools, does notparticipate in the NCAApostseason.

As a freshman, Hem-pelwas15-of-24 combinedin three appearances,throwing for 165 yardsoverall. He took over thejob this fall. In preseasoninterviews, he said helearned a lot from 2012starter Colton Chapple,who graduated.

“His dedication, film-watching,” Hempel said.“He’s always down hereand I lived with him lastsemester. He helped me alot, being a leader on thefield and how he carrieshimself. This is my thirdyear in the offense so Iknow these guys pretty

As shocked as he wasfor earning such a presti-gious award, Way wasjust as struck that hisbest friend was there toshare the moment asmore than just a specta-tor.

SNAP is our SupplementalNutrition Assistance Pro-gram, formerly food stamps.It’s our nations’s flagship nu-trition program and mainsafety net preventing familiesfrom going hungry.

Recently, many of us par-ticipated in Pope Francis’sDay of Prayer for ending hun-ger. Advent being the time ofexpectation, and Christmasthe time of Gift and gifts, itseems important to me tofollow Bread For the World’sencouragement to help ourmembers of Congress putfirst things first.

I phoned (Sen. Mitch)McConnell and (Congressman

Thomas) Mas-sie with therequest toprotect SNAPand interna-tional food aidfrom cuts inthe farm bill.

Mr. McCon-nell’s staffperson tookdown my re-quest. Mr.Massie’s staff

person said they’d been get-ting a lot of calls about SNAP,and she wanted to ask mesome questions. Of course.

But I found the two ques-tions very surprising.

First, should a person’semployment status be tied toreceiving food aid? I thoughtof all the children, elderly anddisabled at risk of hunger. Ofparents and other care giverswho can’t participate in thejob market, having to work intheir homes. (The cuts tochild-care aid have drivenmany peop le out of the workforce.) Of people unable tofind work. Of how being ableto work depends on health andhealth depends on adequatenutrition.

I said to the staff personthat food must come first.

The second question was:Should drug testing be re-

quired for persons to receivefood aid? My first thought wasthat whoever thought this uphasn’t been reading our dailynewspaper The Enquirer. Forweeks its news and featurearticles have provided expertmedical testimony that addic-tions are medical, not moralor character, issues. Thisquestion seems to class manyof us, our families andfriends, in with athletes andrace horses who get drugtested in order to compete.

Once again I responded toMr. Massie’s staff person thatbasic health and rehabilitationmeans basic nutrition.

For over 30 years, I’ve

found Bread For the World’saction plans and spiritualguidance very helpful. It’s acollective Christian voiceurging our nation’s decisionmakers to end hunger at homeand abroad. It sponsors RickSteves’s travel programs.

PRAYER AT THE POLE

Students and faculty at Immaculate Heart of Mary School participated in a Prayer at the Pole prayerservice in honor of Veterans Day, remembering all those who have bravely served to protect ourcountry.THANKS TO EMILY FREIHOFER

“O’ Lord, I pray, please letyour ear be attentive to theprayer of your servant, and tothe prayer of your servantswho desire to fear your name;and let your servant prosperthis day, I pray, and grant himmercy in the sight of thisman.” (Nehemiah 1:11)

There will be many chal-lenges for us in 2014. Maybeyou’ve already had your fairshare in January. Challengesregarding our finances, futureplans, issues in the workplace,church, or neighborhood. Thelist is endless. Challenges cancause us to do many things –act in haste, run away, becomediscouraged, remain on edge,or “clam up” and freeze.

We could learn a lot from acertain man in the bible abouthow to face challenges. A manby the name of Nehemiah,we’re told, was “the king’scupbearer.” This meant heacted as bodyguard, adviserand food taster for the king. (Idon’t know about you, but thatsounds a lot like the role of aparent to me.)

Yet when Nehemiah was ingreat distress over the ruin ofJerusalem, his homeland, thebible tells us he “sat down andwept, and mourned for manydays; I was fasting and prayingbefore the God of heaven.”(Nehemiah 1:4)

Nehemiah did not act hasti-ly, run away, become discour-aged, remain on edge or “clamup” and freeze. He did notbecome outraged or “checkout” with pills or alcohol.

Make no mistake, he washurting and he took his painand overwhelming circum-stances to the only one whocould fix them: God.

What’s also interestingabout Nehemiah’s response to

his situation iswhat he didfirst: “satdown andwept.” Manyof us try not toweep whenproblemsarise. We feelthe need to“remainstrong” for ourspouses, chil-dren, and oth-

ers who may perceive ourtears as discouragement,weakness or “breaking down.”

In my recent journey tomore fully experience thepresence of God I often findmyself weeping uncontrollablyin a church service. And evenmy precious 6 year old isaware of the negative connota-tions associated with crying, asshe is often the first to ask,“Are you sad mommy? Don’tcry.”

Tears can be profoundlycleansing, a detox of the mind,and incredibly healing. A goodcry has the ability to providegreat clarity and direction.

You may not feel the need tolet out a good wail in public thenext time you’re faced with achallenge, but in the comingyear, I challenge you not tohold back when the tears arepersisting.

If one of your resolutionsfor the new year is to growcloser to Christ, and become astronger man or woman ofGod, remember what John11:35 says, that even “Jesuswept.”

Inspiredbyherownhe-ro, JackieWaters ofHigh-land Heights recentlylaunched a website devot-ed to transforming chil-drenbattlingillnessesintosuperheroes.

HelpYourHero.orglaunched recently andwas created inmemory ofWaters’ hero: her sisterTracy Siemer,who battleda rare form of brain can-cer for 21 years.

Siemer had a strongsupport group while shefoughtcancer.Waterscre-ated the website in hopesthat others could experi-ence that same level ofsupport, but in a uniqueway.

After being diagnosedwith mesenchymal chon-drosarcoma, Siemer andher family were told bydoctors at St. ElizabethHospital inEdgewoodthatno one survived the can-cer.

Siemer didn’t want tobelieve it. She was deter-minedtobethefirsttosur-vive. She decided that shewanted to be a superhero.

InNovember 2000, justbefore Siemer underwenther third brain surgery,she knew she had to betoughforhertwosons,herfriends and her family.What she did next willnever be forgotten tothose close to her.

Just before the sur-gery, Siemer bought Su-permanpajamasandnick-named herself Superwo-man T-Si.

People in Siemer’s cor-ner became known as hersuperfriends.

“It was a way for us tokeep Superwoman T-Si inthe forefront of ourmindsinstead of her disease,”Waters said.

Superwoman T-Si suc-cumbed to cancer in May2012 at 45, leaving behindher two sons, Austin andChaz.

“Going through 21years of this rare braincancer where she wasn’t

even expected to live andnever asked God, ‘Whyme?’ – that really pushedmetolookat lifedifferent-ly,” Waters said. “It mademe realize that if she cando it, than I cando this andwe need to pay it forwardfor everything that peopledid for us.”

The idea behindHelpYourHero.org is tocreate a community thatneeds help engaging oth-ers with their story in afun and entertaining way.

Onthewebsite,parentscan help their child createa superhero persona andbuild superhero head-quarters.

“When someone is di-agnosed with a disease,people don’t knowwhat todo,” Waters said. “It isvery overwhelming. Youdon’t knowwhat to do andyoudon’tknowwhat to tellthem. When people don’tknow what to do, they re-treat.

“Help Your Hero wasbuilt because we neededto find a way to help peo-ple help their hero. Nowpeople have somethingelse besides the illness it-self to talk about.”

There are 24 differentsuperhero designs fromwhich to choose. Patientscan name themselves andcreate a forum or a blogfrom hero headquarters.Parentsareencouraged toget sidekick (a close fam-ily friend) to help sharetheir superhero’s story.

The website, whichboasts a handful of super-heroes, is sustainedthrough merchandisesales, Waters said. Shehopes to have sponsor-ships as well, so she canimprove Help Your Heroby adding interactivegames and printed ver-sionsofpersonalizedcom-ic books.

Aftersigning in, theex-ample that guides parentsthrough creation of theirsuperhero is TheGreatG-Hawk.

The Great G-Hawk,known offline as GrantJanszen, battled osteosar-

comaforalmost twoyearsbefore passing away inAugust 2004.

Named after his lovefor the Kansas Jayhawks,The Great G-Hawk wasalso known for his greatsense of humor.

“He was always so fullof life. ... I didn’t help him.He helped me,” his mom,Glenna Janszen, of Cali-fornia, Ky., said. “He hadso much hope. He alwaysbelieved.”

TheGreatG-Hawkhadmany people or super-friends believing in him.

During his battle withbonecancer,UniversityofKansas head basketballcoachBill Self and formerathletic director Lew Per-kins invited The Great G-Hawk to multiple basket-ball games, including ahome matchup against ri-valMissouri.Self thenhad

the teenager speak to histeam after the game. Selfand Perkins also gaveTheGreat G-Hawk a scholar-ship to Kansas if theschool was lucky enoughto have him.

“How humbling is it tothink that the coach of theKansas Jayhawks and theathletic director were onyourside fighting thisbat-tle,” Glenna Janszen said.“It helped him to knowthat he had all these peo-ple behind him.”

Inadditiontothatexpe-rience, Grant Janszen re-ceived a visit from actorWill Smith through theMake-a-Wish Foundation.Grantcouldn’tusehispre-vious wish, which was acruise, becausehewas tooweak at the time. Instead,Grant’s favorite actor sur-prisedhimwithavisit justdays before he died in2004 at the age of 15.

“HelpYourHero is try-ing to pay it forward,”Glenna said. “When ourheroes see people comingbehind them and showingsupport, that could be theline between healing orgiving them a better qual-ity of life.”

Grant Janszen was visited by Will Smith before he passed away in 2004 from bone cancer. Grant is nickmaned The GreatG Hawk on HelpYourHero.org. His story is used to inspire others to share their heroes story with others in a onlinecommunity for children battling illness.PROVIDED.

JANUARY 9, 2014 • BCR RECORDER • B3LIFE

I was flipping throughmygourmet foodmagazines andtwo items kept popping up as“newbies” for 2014. One is theherb fennel, in particularbronze fennel. I had to chucklesince I’ve grown both greenfennel, which produces a deli-cious bulb, and also bronze,which is grown for its leavesand seeds, for years.

Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast onmy cable show “LoveStarts in the Kitchen.”Watch it on TimeWarnerlocal access.

The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashionedcurly kale like Grandma grew.Kale varieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots of recipes,including the two I mention inmy pizza recipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow some comespring.

I’d also like to issue a formalinvitation for you to share yourfavorite recipes and tips alongwith the story that goes withthem. I’m not particular, sowhatever you like to cook,whether it’s fancy, plain or inbetween is fine byme. If yousend along a photo, so much thebetter!

Whole wheat pizza withgarlic, greens and twocheeses

We grow kale, includingLocinato/Tuscan/Dino and Rus-sian kale. Both aremilder tast-ing than curly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spinachtones down the taste of kale.

Greens like these con-tain nutrients essentialfor tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use justchard or spinach if youlike.

1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell

2-3 teaspoons finelyminced garlic

3-4 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil

Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves to cover(or large leaves, chopped)

6-8 oz. Fontina cheese, shredded3-4 oz. crumbled goat cheeseOptional: Sliced tomatoes, chives

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Stir garlic into olive oil. Brushover crust. Top with pizza sauceand greens, overlapping leavesso entire surface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses. Slicecherry or regular tomatoes andlay on top if you like. Bake 10minutes or until cheesemelts.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

Substitute Gorgonzola forgoat cheese.

Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom corn pudding

Wow – talk about lots ofrequests for this! The originalrecipe came from Priscilla’smother’s cousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almost has acult following,” said Priscilla.Check out my blog for morecorn pudding recipes, includingthe famous Beaumont Inn’scorn pudding, along with anold-fashioned version of thistreasured side dish.

2 eggs1 stick of butter1 package Jiffycorn muffin mix

8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.

1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Melt butter, beat eggs slightly,thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2 quartcasserole and bake for about 45minutes.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Add extra flavor to boxcakes. NancyMauch, a Cler-mont County reader andmomofmy former editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip: For boxcakes, substitute milk or juicefor liquid called for. “Addsanother element of flavor,”Nancy said.

Buying blue cheese in bulk.Dave, a loyal reader, said hefound a five-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS (Gor-don Food Service) for $19. Hemade batches of Nell Wilson’s

blue cheese dressing and waslooking for an affordable wayto do it.

Tomato preserve recipe abig hit. Lana Kay, a NorthernKentucky reader, mademyauntMargaret’s recipe lastsummer. “I was surprised howmany people had never tastedthem,” she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor at afarmer’s market and I have nodoubt it will become a big sell-er. Tomato preserves are anoth-er trendy, but really old-fash-ioned, condiment that chefs willbe featuring this year.

Question: I’m gettinggarden catalogs in themail, but I just found abunch of seeds left overfrom last year. Do youthink they will still grow?

Answer: Be sure yourleftover seeds can germi-nate before you send inthat new seed catalogorder, or visit the localgarden supply center,since you may need tobuy some replacementseeds. However, whenproperly stored, manyvegetable seeds willremain viable, or able togerminate, for three ormore years, includingtomato, carrot, pumpkin,cucumber and cabbage.

A fewvegetables(spinach,onion, andsweetcorn) pro-duce seedsthat re-main via-ble for lessthan two tothreeyears.

Thus, it’s best to buyfresh seeds of these veg-etables every year ortwo.

It’s easy to check theviability of vegetableseeds that are more thanone year old by using the“rag doll test.” Simply

wrap 10-20 seeds fromeach packet in a papertowel that’s moist, but notdripping wet. Roll or foldthe paper towels to en-close the seeds and puttowels in a sealed, air-tight plastic bag. Put alabel in with the seed-containing paper towels,or mark the outside ofthe plastic bag. Put theplastic bags in a warmarea where the temper-ature will range from70-80 degrees Fahren-heit. Viable seed shouldgerminate in one to twoweeks.

If 75 percent or moreof the seeds germinatefrom any given packet,you know those seedswill be fine for plantingin the garden in 2014. It’sstill OK to use seeds if

about 50 percent germi-nate from a packet. How-ever, you might want to“plant thicker” and usetwice as many seeds asnormal at planting time,to make up for the lowergermination rate. If 30percent or fewer of theseeds in a packet germi-nate, it’s best to order orbuy fresh seeds. Other-wise, you will have large

bare patches with noplants in the gardenrows.

If you depend on agood harvest from somemajor crops such as snapbeans, sweet corn, but-ternut squash or picklingcucumbers, it’s probablywise to plant a mixture ofnew and old seeds, ratherthan using only the oldseed. Buying some extra

fresh seed is cheap insur-ance that you’ll havefresh produce availablewhen you’re ready topreserve it. It’s a realsetback to wait twoweeks for old seeds togerminate in the garden,only to find out that youhave to replant. Thenyour harvest has beendelayed by two weeks.

If you would like towin free flower and veg-etable seeds by correctlyanswering horticulturetrivia and plant identifi-cation questions, go towww.facebook.com/BooneHortNews.

to grow, wemust makewise decisions in keepingwith our better natures.Wemust learn to fight offthe inevitable attacks bythe negative forces offear, greed, and unkind-ness.

Properly understood,the battle of life is anopportunity to learn todiscriminate betweenwhat is best for us, andwhat we should avoid; itis an opportunity for us tobuild our strength, faith,and loving-kindness.

It is a training ground

in which we learn to bevery alert, in which wechoose to make the wisestdecisions possible.

In all the great reli-gious and philosophicaltraditions of the world-weare encouraged to makethe best choices possible,for the good of all.

By learning to engageskillfully in the battlebetween positive andnegative forces, youmorefrequently make wisechoices, thus growing instrength, wisdom, andhappiness. You also help

to make the world a bet-ter, more caring place foreveryone.

In our hearts there is a“still, small voice” that isalways there to guide usin making wise choices.Sometimes we just haveto stop and really listen tohear it. Resolve in 2014 towork to do the right thingoften.
