Just ask Kelly Elementary students Isabella, 10, and Ade- line Warner, 7. Last month, the fourth- and second-grade Stu- dent Council members were given $10 each and asked to spend the money anyway they liked, as long as it helped others in some way. “We wanted to teach the council members about com- munity involvement and inter- national involvement,” Kelly school counselor and co-Stu- dent Council adviser Mike Di- Mera said. “We told them not to spend the money on them- selves, but to help other people in the world in some way. That was their only instruction.” The Warner girls put their money together to purchase supplies to make ornaments which they sold to raise more money. Their goal was to raise $75, enough money to purchase a goat for a Third World coun- try through World Vision. “We wanted to not do what everyone else did, like just drop it in the church basket,” Isabella said. “We wanted to do something crafty. Our mom is obsessed with Pinterest and we found this cute ornament on Pinterest and got the idea.” They sold the ornaments – made of clothespins, wire, wooden stars and twine – to teachers, students and others they know. Soon people were making requests. “The girls were involved in every aspect of this project,” their mother Bridgette Warner said. “They used the saw to cut the ornaments, they sanded them down, they helped sort, hot glue and assemble.” The girls even made hand- written thank you notes and helped package they had some orders through Facebook that shipped to other states – and deliver. “My husband and I felt it was very important for the kids to earn the money for the goat,” she said. “We could have easily given them the $55 needed – af- ter the $20 from Student Coun- cil – to make $75, but we wanted them to be fully invested and to work for the goat.” Bridgette said she and her husband, Jared, are “incredi- bly proud” of the girls thinking of buying a goat to help others. They are also pleased with the generosity of others who sup- ported the project. “When I reached out to Facebook friends about the or- naments, I thought we might have 10 or 15 orders, but we ended up with 180 and I still have people asking for more,” Bridgette said. They ended up earning $275 to purchase three goats and two chickens. “It is so heartwarming to see the effects of their work,” Bridgette said. “They know what they are doing is helping someone in a big, significant way and even though they are young, they know they made a difference.” Isabella and Adeline said they liked making the orna- ments, even though it was “hard work.” “I liked making them,” Ade- line said, and feel good about the project. “I should snip the bows. It was hard.” However, the work was worth it, according to the sis- ters. “I feel really good,” Isabella said. “I know the goats will change the lives of lots of peo- ple in Africa.” Kelly Elementary students Adeline Warner, 7, left, and Isabella,10, stand next to some of the ornaments they made and sold to purchase goats and chickens for a Third World country through World Vision.

tends to build the dis-trict’s capacity and infra-structure, as well as en-suring sustainabilitythrough the followingmeans:

» Conducting an envi-ronmental scan on whatcurrently is working andwhat isn’t, identifiy thecurrent community part-ners and volunteers, andhow many students arebeing served.

» Analyzing districtand school expenditureson expanding learning op-portunities to determinepossible reallocations,how the district might re-align funds from existingless-21st century-focusedofferings to those thatwould serve more stu-dents in more effectiveways.

» Determining howdistrict staff positionsmight be restructured toestablish a point personfor expanding learningopportunities, possiblymultiple persons whowould takeonresponsibil-ity for leading specifictypes of opportunities;and

» Intentionallyrecruiting additionalcommunity partners andvolunteers, as well asidentifying potential ser-vice learning and prob-lem-basedlearningoppor-tunities within the com-munity.

Four other districts re-ceived the grant: Districtof Columbia PublicSchools; Jefferson Coun-tyPublic Schools inLouis-ville; Goochland County(Va.) Public Schools Vir-ginia in partnership withRichmondPublic Schools;

and Metropolitan Nash-ville (Tenn.) PublicSchools. These districtsare much larger, urbandistricts, Cheser said.

Boone schools, shesaid, is the third largestdistrict in the state, serv-ing more than 20,000 stu-dents within 24 schools.The district serves stu-dents in urban, suburbanand rural settings, withmore than 50 languagesrepresented and about 40percent of students par-ticipating in free or re-duced lunch programs.

Within the application,Cheser said several ex-panded learning opportu-nities initiated by the dis-trict were discussed, in-cluding pilot programs attwo schools strugglingwith achievement andhigh-poverty. The pro-grams,set foroutsidereg-ular school hours, result-ed in statistically signifi-cant gains for the schools,forecasting a narrowingof thegap inachievement,she said.

The application citedOdyssey of the Mind andFIRST Lego League ro-botics, programs that in-volve parent and commu-nity volunteers.However,according to the applica-tion, “there is no unifyingdefinition of expandedlearning opportunities orapproach to ensure thatall students have the op-portunities they need be-yond the usual school dayto be college, career, andlife ready.”

“We know that this isimperative for our stu-dents to not only obtaintheskills theyneedfor theworkplace, but to alsohave the sense of hope,well-being, and engage-ment they need to beready to learn,” Chesersaid.

Ginny Kohl, whoworked with Meece whenshe taught at BooneCoun-ty High School, said themessage in the book “cantoucheveryperson’s life.”

“Sarah has so much tooffer, she’s a good inspira-tion to otherpeople,”Kohlsaid. “We all have ups anddowns in our lives, there’sno double about it. Weneed to learn what to doabout it and how to face itto live an inspirationallife.That’swhatSarahhasdone.”

Meece’s roller coasterof life experiences beganwhen shewas only13withthedeathofhermother. Inearly adulthood, she alsowent through a traumaticdivorce, leaving her as asingle parent. Later, whatshe thought was a beauti-ful romancewould turn to

unspeakableviolence, shesaid, ultimately involvingthe FBI, secret serviceand living in hiding forseveral months.

Just when Meecethought her troubleswereover, life as she knew it asadedicatededucator,wifeto loving husband, andmother, came to ascreeching halt. In 2008,she was diagnosed with avery aggressive form ofbreast cancer. She under-went chemotherapy and abilateral mastectomy.

“Whiledealingwith thechemo treatments and re-covering from surgery,there was plenty of timefor some deep soulsearching which allowedme to reprioritize mylife,” she said. “No doubt,Godwastellingmetoslowdown, step back, and takethe time to make mydreamofcreatingaminis-try come true.”

She retired from edu-cation and founded SarahMeece Inspires. She be-gan sharing her story andoffering hope to womenacross the nation. Meece

has traveledas farasCali-fornia and Florida forspeaking engagements.As Meece traveledaround thecountryspeak-ing, she said she was con-stantly being asked, “Doyou have a book?”

“It didn’t take long torealize that I was receiv-ing yet another nudge...‘Sarah,youneedtowritea book.’”

In October, “A Dose ofHope,” was released.

“I wanted to writesomething uplifting thatwould lead people to adeeper relationship withGod,” she said. “I can’timagine not having a rela-tionshipwithGod.Howdoweget throughthevalleysand back up to the moun-tain, if you don’t have thegrace of God? Life is notabout waiting for thestorm to pass but learningto dance in the rain. I’velearned to let God be mydancing partner. Now, Ithink I’m supposed tosharemyexperiencesandhelp others.”

FLORENCE — So manyunderestimate the powerof a simple act of kindness– a sweet smile or a friend-lywave – but not JuliaKel-ly and her Florence neigh-bors.

The power of such is alesson they learned fromJulia’s husband, Paul Kel-ly, 88, who died Nov. 8.

“He’dsit outsidealmostevery day, wearing hismilitary hat and waving atall the neighbors as theypassed by,” said AndreaCampbell who lives onStockton Way, near theKelly’s home on Deer-meade Drive.

Since his death, Juliahas received “an over-whelming” response fromthose in herneighborhood.She’s received more than40 sympathy cards.

People have come toher door or called nearlyevery day telling her just

what Paul and “his wave”meant to them.

Even children in theneighborhood have visit-ed. One, Julia said, drew apicture of Paul sitting out-side near the garage door

waving.Another neighbor gave

her a picture frame with“Your wave will bemissed” engraved upon it.Neighbors, includingCampbell and her family,miss him dearly.

“Paul’s presence pro-vided a sense of communi-ty,” Campbell said. “Peo-ple don’t do that kind ofstuff, waving to others orsmiling, enough. It’s amaz-ing what a simple act likethat can do for a neighbor-hood.“Todayinoursocietypeople are too self-ab-sorbed and don’t take thetime for the little things,the little pleasures of life.It’s rare to find a personwho takes enough time tomake a connection withothers.”

But, that’s just the kindof man Paul was, accord-ing to Julia, 89.

“He was the sweetestman,” Julia said. “He wasvery generous and kind.He loved people. He was a

good husband and provid-er and a wonderful fa-ther.”

The two met when theywere in their early 20s inRoanoke, Va. Itwas love atfirst sight, she said.

“I was on a train and Isuddenly found myselfface to face with a nicelooking sailor,” she said.“He told me later that onthat day when he wentback to his station he toldthe other sailors ‘Boys, to-dayImet thegirl I’mgoingto marry.’”

Seven months laterthey said “I do.” In 67years, they had two sons, adaughter, who died previ-ously, seven grandchil-dren and six great-grand-children. The secret tosuch a long, fulfillingmar-riage, Julia said, is love.

“We loved each other,”she said. “We depended oneach other for support. IthinkGod selected him forme and we were so rightfor each other. Where I

was weak, he was strong;where he was weak, I wasstrong.Weweremeant foreach other. I loved himmore thedayhedied thanIdid thedayImarriedhim.”

Paul was a member ofthe Florence BaptistChurchatMt.Zion,amem-ber of the Thomas C. CecilMasonic Lodge and a vet-eran of World War II. Heretired as a locomotive en-gineer and road foremanof engines for CSX Rail-road in 1987.

Originally from Pike-ville, Ky., they moved toFlorence in 2003.

“The next day after themove, he started sittingoutside waving at all whopassed by,” Julia said. “Itjustmadepeople’sday. I’mamazed at what a simplewave canmean to somanypeople.”

Whenyou thinkabout all thatwomen have accomplished inthe last several decades, it’spretty astounding. Just consid-er their buying and earningpower: According to Nielsen(August 2013), women now con-trol approximately $12 trillionof theU.S. shareof$18 trillion inglobal consumer spending. Andapproximately 28 percent of to-day’s working married womenout-earn their husbands, ac-cording to Census Bureau datafrom USA Today.

But for as many strides aswomen have made, they stillonlyearn77cents for everydol-lar earned by a man, accordingto Census Bureau data. Womentend to save far less than menwhen planning for retirement –but have higher retirement ex-penses and longer life expec-tancies.

That’s why it’s increasinglyimportant for women to take

control of theirfinancial fu-tures by em-ploying smartinvestmentstrategies. Andbefore you gothinking, “In-vestment strat-egies are forthe wealthy,”think again.Thereareafew

simple steps every woman cantake now to positively impacther long-term financial outlook.

1.Talktoafinancialadviser:Afinancial adviser canhelpyousee the big picture and identifypractical ways to achieve yourvision.Theycanhelpdeterminewhether or not you’re savingenough and if you’re investingin the right places, according tocertain factors including, butnot limited to, yourgoals, objec-tives, and tolerance for risk. Fi-

nancial advisers aren’t exclu-sive tobillionaires, either.Manybanks have financial adviserswho are available to work withcustomers at all levels of in-come, age and networth. But besure you are comfortable withyour financial adviser; if he orshe seems disinterested, you’rein the wrong office.

2. Pay yourself first: Theonly way to accumulate wealthis to save more than you spend.Barring someunforeseenwind-fall, like a lottery winning or aninheritance, every woman willprobably need a retirement ac-count to rely on. So set aside aportion of your pre-tax pay-check to a 401(k) or IRA, espe-cially if your employer offers acontribution match. Maybe youcan only contribute 2 percent ofyour income – that’s fine! Trysetting a manageable scheduleunderwhichyouraiseyourcon-tributionbyhalfapercent.Start

small and absorb the reductionin your cash-on-hand steadily.In a fewyears, you’ll be amazedat howmuch you’ve saved.

3. Consider a spendingfreeze: Not sure your bank ac-count can weather a “pay your-self first” savings strategy?Consider putting yourself on –and sticking to – a three-monthspendingfreeze.Foronemonth,track every dime you spend.Then, cut out all of your extraexpenses: Eliminate the premi-um cable channels (or cable en-tirely), eat at home and resistthe buy-one-get-one sales. Thiswill reset your spending cyclesoyoucangainbetter control ofyour finances.

4. Avoid the temptation totinker: The biggest mistake awoman can make is changingyour 401(k) too frequently. Agood rule of thumb might be toreview your 401(k) when youchangeyourclocks.Ensure that

your funds are keeping pacewith the market, reallocate ifnecessary and then walk away.Remember that your 401(k) is along-term plan, so it shouldwithstand the ebb and flow ofthe market. You just have to bepatient and avoid the tempta-tion toconstantly fine-tuneyourinvestments. Now, if you’re notcomfortable with the fluctua-tions ofyourportfolio, itmaybetime to adjust your asset alloca-tion and the amount of riskyou’re taking on.

Taking control of your finan-cial future is empowering and abit daunting. Ask for guidance,contribute as much as you can,stayon topofyourspendingandstay diligent about your invest-ments.

I don’t know about you, butI’m ready for 2014.

For me, 2013 started off withawreck in January, inwhichmyhusband’s carwas totaled (yes, Iwas driving.) It was coupledwith a need for me to be absentfrom facilitating the health andwellnessmeetings I dearly love,(praise God, I’m back).

Add to that the emotionalroller coaster ride of our lives interms of changes in my hus-band’s career. In less than sixmonths, my husband studiedfor, passed and secured licensesin health, life, securities, andproperty and casualty insur-ance. Now that may not soundlike a big deal, but let’s just say,we’re thankful we lived throughit to tell about it.

May I add that I have a com-plete new respect for salesmenof any kind who support theirfamilies solelyonacommission-

basedsalary. Ifthis is you orsomeone youlove, may Godgreatly blessand providefor you in 2014.

To top it off,God called ourfamily out ofthe comfort,security andlove of ourwonderful

home church, East Dayton Bap-tist, a church my parents andseveral other family membersattend, the church I was bap-tized in and the only church Ihave ever known inmy 41yearsof life “to a land that he wouldshow us.”

Just typing about all thechange brings all the butterfliesback. Yet, as I reflect and beginto lookforwardIcansee,at least

partially, the reasons for theval-leys and the “unknowns.” Onething is sure, through it all, Godhad a plan. And it was, and is, allfor good. (Jeremiah 29:11) Andthough there were valleys, andsomeverydeepones that Icouldnomeans climb out of alone, Hewas always there. His promiseto never leave or forsake me astrue as it has ever been.

Yet another vital lesson I’velearned this year is that in orderto see and experience Histruths, Imust surrender fully tohis plan. Know this, God doesnotalwaysshare“steptwo”withyou before you complete “stepone.”

Here’s to findingGod in2014!

PopeFrancis recently issuedan apostolic exhortation whichmany have interpreted as criti-cizing capitalism. I learned at ayoungagenevertostartafightIcan’t win; therefore, I don’twant to start a fight with thePope. I’ll choose instead tosearch for common ground.

First things first, Pope Fran-cis is right. The faith-basedprinciple of human imperfec-tionaffectscapitalism.Commu-nist, socialist and totalitariansystems have been led by ty-rants. At least in capitalism,businesses usually succeed bydeliveringusefulgoodsandser-vices which can, at times,change lives for the better.

The Pope warns against an“impersonal economy lacking atruly human purpose.” Butmany successful capitalist un-

dertakings have a human pur-pose.HisHoliness lamented the

absence of“vigilance forthe commongood.” Butmanycapitalistventures servethe commongood.

Pope Fran-cis didn’t spe-cifically com-ment on capi-talisminAmer-ica. If he had

done so, I’d like to think hewould have said healthy Amer-ican capitalism helps familiesby providing jobs. One greatidea here can generate thou-sands of jobs. It happens all thetime.

Capitalism helps provide for

education and hope. Americansstrive for education and train-ing to attain valuable skills. Wedevelopandgrow.Onboth sidesof my family, capitalism andeducation lifted our parents outof poverty, which probably ex-plains why I get a bit defensive.

Capitalism helps provide forour government. Business own-ers pay taxes. People who workfor businesses pay taxes. Peo-plewhobuythings incommercepay taxes. Without capitalism,government would have fewerresources to provide for thepublic good.

Capitalism helps provide forour churches and charities. Weknow that churches and charityserve the noblest of purposes,butmoneytooperate themmustcome from somewhere. We’veseen coffers diminish in hard

times.Capitalism helps us care for

one another. In America, youngpeopleworkingpaySocialSecu-rity and Medicare taxes so thatolderAmericanscanhavean in-come and health care. Withoutcapitalism, these safeguardswould fail.

Capitalism can unify people.InAmerica,mostofusrespectabusiness owner on Main Streetwho saves money and risks ev-erythingonabusiness idea,pro-viding needed jobs, incomesand taxes. We see this everyday. We should choose to seebusiness owners as our neigh-bors, not our enemies.

Capitalism can be compati-ble with faith. I represent busi-ness owners who frequentlypray for the well being of theiremployees and customers,

striving to treat them right ev-ery day. Their brand of capital-ism involves life success whichstretches beyond self and be-yond an immediate dollar.

Capitalism, which simplymeans owning part or all of abusiness, can’t be all that bad.Maybe his Holiness meant tosay that economic and politicalsystems can only be asmoral asthe people who live and work inthem. I’mnot sureweneedapa-pal clarification, but given thebuzz on the subject, it wouldn’thurt to get one.

Detecting breast cancerearly – before symptoms be-

gin – can savelives. That’swhy it’s so im-portant forwomen to un-dergo regularbreast cancerscreenings aspart of a pre-ventive healthcare regimen.

The risk ofbreast cancerincreases withage, with 60 as

the average age for firstbreast cancer diagnosis in theUnitedStates.However,manyyoungerwomenarediagnosedwith breast cancer, and detec-tion steps should begin inearly adulthood.

Starting in their 20s, wom-en should learn about thebenefits and limits of breastself-examinations. Performedcorrectly, a self-exam is a sys-tematic, step-by-step methodfor detecting changes inbreast tissue. By performingself-exams regularly, womencan become familiar with howtheir breasts normally lookand feel so that changes be-come noticeable. Womenshould report any changes totheir physician.

Most experts recommendthat woman in their 20s and

30s also receive a clinicalbreast exam at least once ev-ery threeyears. Performedbya medical professional, theseare an opportunity to learnhow to conduct a self-exam.

Physicians generally rec-ommend that women beginhaving annual mammogramsat age 40. Women at higherrisk – for example, those witha family history of breast can-cer – should consider otherscreening tests. The Ameri-can Cancer Society recom-mends high-risk women haveannual mammograms and anMRI beginning at age 30.

High-risk women includethose who:

» have the BRCA1 orBRCA2 genetic mutation;

» have a parent, brother,sister or childwith the BRCA1or BRCA2 genetic mutation;

» have a lifetime risk ofbreast cancer of 20 to 25 per-cent, based on recognizedrisk-assessment tools;

» had radiation therapy ofthe chest between the ages of10 and 30;

» have Li-Fraumeni syn-drome, Cowden syndrome orBannayan-Riley-Ruvalcabasyndrome, or who have a par-ent, brother, sister or childwith one of these conditions.

Rather than exchanging gifts witheachother thisChristmas, theem-ployees ofMercedes-Benz of Fort

Mitchell decided to collect presents anddonate them to the Children’s Home ofNorthern Kentucky.

The ideaoriginatedwithDonPaparel-la, managing partner at the dealership.“Doyouknowhoweverybodybuys those$20 gifts for each other and they neveruse them?”hesaidheaskedhimself. “In-stead of that, why not have our staff sup-port this local charity?”

About a month before Christmas, Pa-parella and his wife visited the Chil-

dren’s Home, a treatment facility forabused and neglected boys who sufferfrom severe emotional, behavioral, andsocial issues.

“Wesawtheamount ofdedicationandthe work that these people were doingwith the children,” he explained.

He shared the storywith his co-work-ers. “So we set up a Christmas tree andall of our staff just started bringing ingifts,” he said. All 50 employees partici-pated.

“We’ve been blessed in our lives, andwe wanted to bless somebody else’s,”said parts Manager Angela Reynolds.“They’ve had a hard up-bringing. Hope-fully this can say to them, ‘I’m normal,just like anybody else.’”

“Who doesn’t love kids? And they

need everything that they need,” addedmarketing manager Dan Bell. “So we’rehappy to be a part of it.”

Five days before Christmas they fin-ished collecting gifts and took them totheChildren’sHomemaincampus inDe-vou Park.

“It will be a surprise for the childrenon Christmas morning,” said the home’schief executive Officer Rick Wurth.

“These gifts are for the boys who arein our residential treatment program,”he explained. “These are boys aged 7 to17whoare livingwithus24/7for,onaver-age, seven to eight months.”

There are approximately 42 boys liv-ing at the home.Most of them have beenremoved from their own homes by thestate due to abuse, neglect, or at-risk be-

havior.“Our goal is to provide a safe and

home-like environment for these boyswhile they’reundergoingtreatmentwithour clinical team,” Wurth continued.

In 2012 theChildren’sHomeofNorth-ernKentucky impacted400childrenandfamilies in 33 counties across the state.Anyone who would like to volunteer ordonate can visit www.chnk.org.

“Northern Kentucky needs to knowthat there are people who are willing tospend their time and energy lifting upothers,” Wurth said. “The human spiritsin our communities are different be-cause of it.”

“It’s not what you receive,” Paparellastressed. “It’s about giving.”

At the start of eachnew year with you, I liketo talk about food trends.Locally sourced con-tinues to be a big factor,along with homemadebiscuits instead of bunsand bread for sand-wiches. Another trend ishealthier kids meals:yogurt, applesauce andbaked fries for fried.

Gluten-free (no sur-prise) items will beabundant in restaurantsand at the grocery.

Chefs will use nuts ascoating for poultry andfish instead of flour.

Veggies galore, espe-cially cauliflower, will becooked simply or withflavorful herbs andspices as mains andsides.

Heirloom beans andpeanuts are “in” and areeasily grown. Peanutshide under the groundand kids love to harvestthese.

Rice is big this year.You’ll see a dizzyingvariety, from instant tobrown to the new darlingof the food world: Caroli-na Gold. This is thegrandfather of long-grain rice here and, de-pending upon the wayit’s cooked, can be madeinto fluffy rice orcreamy risotto.

Tea is here to stay.Get out mom’s tea setand enjoy a relaxing andhealthy cup of tea. Teacontains polyphenols,antioxidants that aregood for our heart, teeth,eyes and general goodhealth.

As far as wild edibles,I’m right on top of it. I’vemade pine needle tea(high in vitamins A andC) for years and now it’shit the big time. It has aminty, piney flavor. Lookfor ground pine needletea at health food stores.

Ditto for sumac lem-onade. We have sumac

trees (not the poisonsumac!) growing along

our oldcountryroad and inlate Au-gust theybear abeautiful,cone-shaped redfruit per-fect fortart,healthylemonade.

A caution here: Alwaysmake a positive identifi-cation when picking wildedibles. There are manynon-edible look-a-likesout there.

Thieves have figuredout a new way to stealyour money and itdoesn’t involve sendingyou bad checks.

Once again they preyon people who can leastafford to lose money:those seeking a loan.

Krystal, I’ll just useher first name, wroteabout her mother’s needfor a loan while out ofwork following surgery.She turned to the In-ternet and found lots ofwebsites offering loans.After applying at one ofthem, she received a callsaying she was approvedfor the $2,000 she wasrequesting.

Butfirst, shewas told,she had toprove shecould cov-er her firstloan pay-ment. Shetold thelender shewouldn’t

send himmoney beforegetting the funds.

“He answered, ‘No, ofcourse not. We just needto verify you’ll be able tomake the payment,’”Krystal wrote.

Krystal says she wasinstructed to go a localdrug store, get a Vanilla

Card and load it with $150so they could verify thefunds.

“He then had mymother give him theinformation off the cardso he could verify thefunds. He told her every-thing was great and thathe needed to place her onhold so he could go aheadand finalize the trans-action. He came back onthe line and said that, dueto her credit, would shebe able to verify a secondmonth’s payment foranother $150 on the Vanil-la Card? She told him,‘No,’” Krystal wrote.

At this point Krystalsays she and her mother

were suspicious, beganresearching the card anddiscovered the so-calledlender was buying timeso he could pull the fundsoff the Vanilla ReloadCard. By the time theybegan trying to downloadthe funds from the cardthemselves, the “lender”had already taken all themoney.

They called the localpolice who had themcontact the Vanilla Net-work to see if they couldlearn where the moneyfrom the card was re-leased. She was told ithad been placed into theaccount of a pre-paiddebit card so the money

could now be taken andused anywhere without atrace.

“All said and done thisscam has me out of pock-et over $170,” Krystalwrote.

She’s not alone, I re-ceived a letter from aHarrison area man whoalso applied for an onlineloan and was sent to thestore to buy a Green DotMoney Pack. He loaded$375 on the card anddidn’t realize it was ascam until they got an-other $282 from him.

The Federal TradeCommission says legiti-mate lenders never“guarantee” or say

you’re likely to get a loanor a credit card evenbefore you apply – espe-cially if you have badcredit, no credit or abankruptcy.

Bottom line, beware ofthese newmethods usedto steal your money. Re-member, online lendingoffers are often justscams and a quick way tolose your money.

FLORENCE—RogerBabik believes the bestway to respond to a giftis to give something tosomeone else. His re-sponse to a gift of healinghas evolved into a chari-table ministry calledMaster Provisions thatdistributes 160,000pounds of food to non-profits each week.

“Master Provisions isall about what we can doto help other people,”Babik said. “The Biblesays it is better to givethan to receive.”

Babik spoke on theministries supported byMaster Provisions at theFlorence Rotary ClubChristmas programDec.16. His non-profit organi-zation provides food,clothing, orphan care andmedical assistance inNorthern Kentucky andaround the world, in-cluding Honduras, Rus-sia and Ghana.

A former employee ofCincinnati Bell, Babiksaid he started MasterProvisions at the urgingof a friend who keptpestering him for a cou-ple of years. A personalincident in his life nowprovides the inspirationfor his work with theorganization.

Four years after hiswife was diagnosed withStage 4 lung cancer, “thecancer was totally gone,”he said. “I praise God forthat gift. The way torespond to a gift is togive something to oth-ers.”

Master Provisions’warehouse in Florencehas grown into the larg-

est food distributioncenter in Northern Ken-tucky, Babik said. Thecenter supplies food at nocost to 150 schools, soupkitchens, church pan-tries, homeless sheltersand senior citizens facil-ities.

The food comes fromdonations from largecorporations such asWal-Mart, Kroger, Pepsi-Co, Castellini and Cros-set. A local bakery, Flow-er Foods, supplies bread.Babik estimates purchas-ing the 80 tons of fooddistributed each weekwould cost more than$650,000.

Babik said 17 percentof local residents – one inevery six - suffer fromfood insecurity. Thatmeans they have “tomake a choice betweenfeeding their children,paying for insurance orpaying the mortgage onthe house,” he said.

The food distributedbyMaster Provisionsreaches 15,000 people amonth, according to Ba-bik.

Master Provisions alsodistributes clothing inNorthern Kentucky andglobally in Central Amer-ica and Africa. Whatbegan as a local clothingdrive has mushroomedinto another global minis-try at Master Provisions,and it impacts more than500,000 people, Babiknoted.

“God just keeps fillingup our storehouse,” hesaid.

For many, pork will bepart of the recipe. Whypork? Hundreds of yearsago in Europe, wild boarswere killed on the first

day of theyear. Oth-ers believethat be-cause pigsroot for-ward, theysymbolizegood luckand thefuture.Converse-ly, chick-

The Germans andthose of German descenthave been credited withbringing the tradition ofeating pork and sauer-kraut on New Year’s Dayto America. Cabbage is acold-weather food and isconsidered a nice accom-paniment to pork.

It is thought the tradi-tion of eating Hoppin’John and greens startedin the Carolinas andmoved through theSouth. Many believe theblack-eyed peas bring

luck and the rice andgreens bring prosperity.The rice expands whencooked symbolizing“more,” and the greensare the color of money.

There also are cakesand cookies featured insome cultures madeespecially for NewYear’s Day.

This may be the per-fect time of year whenthe weather is cold, thechildren are home fromschool and you need anactivity to do to research

fromwhere the foodtraditions have evolved.Try to discover the histo-ry behind what foodtraditions your familyhas adopted for NewYear’s Day and otherspecial days throughoutthe year. Look back atfamily recipes to see ifthere is something spe-cial you might prepare.Talk with older relativesand record their memo-ries of foods they re-member from childhood.

Consider starting a

new food tradition foryour own family. Most ofall, celebrate all the goodthe new year holds instore.

The Cincinnati HealthDepartment, HamiltonCounty Public Healthand Northern KentuckyHealth Department urgecitizens and health careprofessionals to main-tain vigilance and followvaccination guidelinesfor pertussis, commonlyknown as whoopingcough.

Case reports in boththe City of Cincinnatiand Southwest Ohio forthe month of Octoberwere higher than aver-age – a trend that healthofficials throughout theregion are monitoringclosely.

In the City of Cincin-nati and Hamilton Coun-ty, 46 cases of pertussiswere reported in Octo-ber. An additional eightwere reported in North-ern Kentucky.

Pertussis, also knownas whooping cough, is ahighly-contagious respi-ratory disease. The dis-ease usually starts withcold-like symptoms andperhaps a mild cough orfever. After one to twoweeks, severe coughingcan begin. Unlike thecommon cold, pertussiscan become a series ofcoughing fits that con-

tinues for weeks.Pertussis is most

dangerous for babies.More than half of in-fants younger than oneyear of age who get thedisease must be hospi-talized.

Early symptoms ofpertussis can last forone to two weeks andusually include: runnynose; low-grade fever(generally minimalthroughout the course ofthe disease); mild, occa-sional cough; apnea – apause in breathing (ininfants).

Because pertussis inits early stages appearsto be nothing more thanthe common cold, it isoften not suspected ordiagnosed until the moresevere symptoms ap-pear. If a cough persistsfor two weeks or longerwithout any other symp-toms, individuals areadvised to see a doctoras those infected withpertussis are most con-tagious up to two weeksafter the cough begins.Antibiotics may shortenthe amount of timesomeone is contagious.

Vaccination is thebest way to protectagainst pertussis.

The protection pro-vided by the pertussisvaccination fades overtime, so Tdap boostersare recommended forseveral groups, includ-ing:

» Preteens age 11 or12 years old. Gettingvaccinated with Tdap isespecially important forpreteens and teens whowill be around infants.

» Pregnant womenshould be vaccinated inthe third trimester ofeach pregnancy.

» Parents, grandpar-

ents, baby-sitters andany other adult who isgoing to be aroundyoung children.

Question: I haveheard that you can bringin branches from yourforsythia bush or peachtree in the winter andthey will bloom inside ifyou put them in water. Isthat true? If so, are thereany other bushes you cando that with?

Answer: Yes, that iscorrect. Several of theshrubs and trees thatmade their flower budslast summer and normal-ly bloom outside veryearly in the spring can becut and brought inside toenjoy the flowers duringthe dreary months ofwinter. This technique ofcutting branches in win-ter and bringing theminside to bloom is called“forcing.”

Now that we have hada period of at least eightweeks of temperaturesbelow 40 degrees F,branches can be cut andforced into bloom. It iseasy to bring somebranches into bloomfrom spring-floweringtrees and shrubs. Tryforcing plants such asforsythia, flowering-quince, beautybush,clove currant, Corne-

liancherrydogwood,Deutzia,floweringalmond,lilac,mocko-range andpussy wil-low.

Selecthealthybranches

with numerous plumpflower buds present. Ifyou are forcing fruit treebranches, choose thosethat have abundant spurs(short lateral branchesthat bear most of theflowers and fruit). Re-member to follow goodpruning practices whenyou remove branchesfrom a tree or shrub. Cutback to a side branch or abud that’s pointing in thedirection you want newgrowth to occur. Neverleave branch stubs.

After bringing thebranches indoors, make asecond, slanted cut at thebase of the branch. If thetemperature was belowfreezing when thebranches were cut, im-merse the entire branchin cool water for several

hours or overnight.For forcing, place the

branches into slightlywarmwater containing afloral preservative, up toabout 3 inches above thebase of the branch. Allowthe branches to soak forabout 30 minutes andthen fill the containerwith additional watercontaining the preserva-tive. (Hint: make yourown preservative with 2cups lemon-lime soda, 2cups water, and½ tea-spoon chlorine bleach.)Keep the branches in acool (60-65 F) area, awayfrom direct light, andkeep the water level atits original height. Onceflower color is evident,move the branches to awell-lit room but awayfrom direct sunlight.

Remember to keepplenty of water in thecontainer and keep thebranches in a cool loca-tion to prolong the life ofthe arrangement.
