BURLINGTON — Ryan Clarkgrew up a fan of Kentucky bas-ketball.

“It all started with my grand-dad,” the Burlington residentsays. “I grew up in Louisville, buthe says he got to me first, beforeanyUofLfanscould.SoIgrewup

a UK fan and loved their basket-ball squad ever since then.”

Clark, 34, has just publishedhis second book on UK withfriend Joe Cox, “Fightin’ Words:Kentucky vs. Louisville.”

“I’ve written a few others butwriting about UK basketball isthe most fun I’ve ever had,” hesaid.

He and Cox had just finished

their last book, “100 Things Wild-cats Fans Should Know and DoBefore They Die,” when they be-gan to wonder what was next.

Cox, 33, said the idea was onehe had more than a decade ago.

While Cox, who lives near andworks inBowlingGreen, is aKen-tucky fan – he and Clark met

the jail’s role to look at waysto have the inmates “giveback to thecommunitysomeof what they took in what-ever crime they committedagainst the community.”

Sgt. Jim Wilson, directorof the jail’s work camp inBurlington, said the pro-gram not only saves tax dol-lars but it teaches inmateswork ethic as well.

Heestimates that at a lowrate, the same work wouldcost the taxpayers around$36,000 for salary alone.

According toWilson, theysave they county about $1.8million a year in labor costs.Prindle says that comesfrom inmate crews workingwith the county parks androads departments.

For the first time, Prindlesaid they’ll partner with thenew Boone County Recy-cling Center. The trashthat’s picked up will be sort-ed by inmates assigned towork at the recycling centerandwhat’srecyclablewillbesorted out.

Those who see litter thatneeds to be cleaned can callthe work camp at 859-334-4980 or email Wilson [email protected].

Prindle is currently seek-ing re-election and faceschallengers Scott Goo-dridge and Brian Landrumin the May 20 Republic pri-mary.

Some inmates at theBoone County Jail will workto clean the county road-ways this spring during theannual Boone County JailClean Sweep 2014, whichruns March 31 to April 4.

While there are inmatecrews that pick up trash anddead animals on the road-way year round, Jailer Ed-ward Prindle said for thisweek, they have 10 crewsworking on the endeavor in-stead of just one.

According to Prindle, in-mate crews picked up 1,860bags of trash during thecleanup week alone lastyear. That totals more than19 tons of trash.

“That’s good that it’scleaned up, but it’s also kindof depressing,” he said.

Former jailer JohnSchickel and then-deputyjailer Prindle started theprogram in 1988. This is the26th year for the programand they’ve been able tobring in more trash eachyear, Prindle said.

Before that, there wasnever a week devoted to do-ing a spring cleanup of thecounty’s roadways, he said.

“As the county’s grown, itbecomes a bigger and big-ger job,” Prindle said. “Thegrowth in the 26-year periodhas been tremendous as faras the number of roads thatwe cover.”

UNION — Lisa Willoughby’sclassroom is unlike any other.

In this Mann Elementarysecond-grade classroom stu-dents are surrounded by booksto encourage their imagination,develop their minds and pre-pare them for life. Willoughbyhas spent the last17yearsbuild-ing her 5,000-book classroom li-brary.

“Reading is a passion ofmine,”Willoughby said. “I abso-lutely love having developed aclassroom library that opensthe threshold to endless possi-bilities for my students. Theyhave at their hands the opportu-nity to learn about whateverthey’d like to learn about in non-

fiction or the opportunity totakewhateveradventure they’dlike to take on in fiction.”

According to Willoughby, in-stilling this love of reading atthis age is essential to students’success in school and in life.

This zeal to educate her stu-dents earned Willoughby, 51, ofUnion, recognition as a Flor-ence Rotary Teacher of theYear, award chair Gary Wilm-hoff said.

The award includes recogni-tion at a Rotary Club luncheon,aswell as $250 from theaward’ssponsor, Heritage Bank. Themoney is tobeusedforacharityof the teacher’s choice or eventhe teacher’s school. Theirschool is given a banner to rec-ognize the winner.

This year 18 nominations

were received for the Rotary’sannual award and only threewere chosen. Other winnerswere Karen Wiebe from CampErnst Middle School and KellyRead from Boone County HighSchool.

Wilmhoff said recognition oflocal teachers is an importantduty of the club.

“Our education system is thebackbone of our community,”Wilmhoff said. “Rotary recog-nizes thatwithout a good educa-tion system, the county won’tprogress as it should. Teachersare a vital part of the communi-ty and we want to recognizethem for their contributions.”

Willoughby started herteaching career after graduat-ing from Eastern KentuckyUniversity in1997.Shetaught in

the Clark County school systeminWinchester for a year beforemoving to Boone County. Shetaught at Erpenbeck Elemen-tary for eight years and trans-

ferred toMannwhen the schoolopened in 2006.

said. “I have the best jobin the world – it’s fun andchallenging. My goal as ateacher is to … it sounds

simple, but to help eachchild learn the most theycan and become the mostwell-rounded person theycan be. To do this, youhave toget to knowachildandwhy theyare thechildthey are. Then, if theyknow you care, theycare.”

According to MannPrincipal Connie Crigger,Willoughby is an “amaz-ing” teacher because shetakes the time to do justthat.

“Lisa has never, ever,ever complained about achild in her class,” shesaid. “Each child is veryvaluable to her. Shemakes kids believe inthemselves. In her class,they know there isn’t any-thing they can’t achieve.She’s extremely caringand compassionate. Thekids are always first withLisa Willoughby.”

watching a Kentuckyfootball game while at-tending Western Ken-tucky University – he at-

tended the University ofLouisville law school andsays he’s the “softer edgeof the two.” Having livedin the city for three years,“I kind of have Louisvillesympathies” and will rootfor the team – but not atthe expense of UK.

“Joe and I had boththought for a long timesomeone should write abook about the UK and Uof L basketball rivalry,”

Clark said. “Not a biasedfan book, but a true histo-ry book about the rivalrythat just chronicled eachgame.Weboth thoughtwewould love to read that.”

Clark says a book likethis had never been writ-ten before.

“I personally knowfriends in the sportswrit-ing business – people whoare real journalism celeb-rities – who wanted to

write this book but neverdid,” Clark said. “So Joeand I pitched the idea, andespecially when Louis-ville won the national titlelast year, publishers gotinterested. This is the big-gest rivalry in collegebasketball. The emotionand the characters in-volvedaresecond tonone.And it had to be writtenabout.”

“We write well togeth-er, work well together,we’re good friends andI’m glad we’ve been ableto do it twice,”Cox said. “Ilook forward to whateverthe future holds andhope-fully we can do it again.”

The competition be-tween the two teams,which meet Friday in theNCAA Sweet Sixteen, isfierce.

“The fans hate eachother, the coaches hateeach other and when they

meet each year, the statealmost boils over,” Clarksaid. “It’s the biggestthing in the state sports-wise this side of the Ken-tucky Derby.”

According to Clark,they get into the storiesbehind the games.

“Wetalk toplayerswhohave overcome addictionof all kinds, horrible fam-ily lives and other adver-sity,” he said. “Fans willlove these kids, no matterwho they root for.”

ClarkandCoxwill readfrom, discuss and sign“Fightin’ Words” 3 p.m.Saturday, April 5, at Jo-seph-Beth Booksellers,2785 Dixie Highway,Crestview Hills.

BURLINGTON — Stephens Elemen-tary students are learning the value ofrecycling through the PTA’s Lids forKids program.

Students have collected more than400 poundsworth of plastic lids to pur-chase a bench that will be placed onschool property.

“We’re trying to teach the studentsabout where things gowhen you throwthem away and how recycling canhelp,” said PTA’s Bee Green coordina-torJulieLeeofFlorence. “Thekidswillbe able to look at this bench and knowthat we made this possible as schooland community. We turned those recy-cled lids into something that all theschool can use and will use forever.”

The lids, which can’t be recycled lo-cally, are collected, weighed and deliv-ered to Green Tree Plastics in Indiana.GreenTreePlastics invites schools andcommunity groups to collect plasticbottle caps and lids, and exchangethem for 100 percent recycled outdoorbenches and tables.

The 6-foot bench Stephens recentlyreceived cost $200, plus 400 pounds oflids. The goal now is to collect 800pounds of lids to purchase a picnic ta-ble for $400. Those interested in donat-ing plastic lids can contact Lee [email protected].

Lids forKids started inAugust aftertheBooneCountySolidWasteManage-ment awarded the school a $1,000grantto help in Stephens’ Be Green initia-tive.

Florence resident andStephenspar-ent volunteer Angie Mercier said it’simportant to teach children at a youngage the benefits of being good stew-ards of the environment.

BURLINGTON — An exten-sionofVeteransWay iscloserto fruition with the BooneCounty Fiscal Court’s 4-0 ap-proval of GRW Engineers asthe preferred engineers fordesign services.

Amemo fromcounty engi-neer Scott Pennington tocounty Administrator JeffEarlywine says the projectwill extend Veterans Wayfrom the existing county

road, near the R.C. DurrYMCA and ImmaculateHeart of Mary Parish, toNorth Bend Road (Ky. 237)and rehabilitate the existingVeteransWay betweenKy. 18and the proposed new align-ment.

According to Penningtonin his memo, the project willalso include a sidewalk ormultiuse path and an addi-tional turn lane at the Ky. 18intersection.

“Theproposedprojectwillprovide the citizens of Boone

County with greater accessi-bility to Boone Woods Park,R.C.DurrYMCAand Immac-ulate Heart of Mary Parishand school as well as openingup opportunities for futuredevelopment,” Penningtonwrites.

Funding for the project,administered by the Ohio,Kentucky, Indiana RegionalCouncil of Governments, to-tals nearly $2.9 million, in-cluding $1.85million in feder-al funds and $1.05 millionfrom Boone County, the me-

mo reads.Earlywine said in a March

17 phone conversation thefunds, known as SNK funds,are a portion of federal trans-portation money that flowsthrough the state and has tobe allocated through ametro-politan planning organiza-tion, such as OKI.

The county, he said, has itsallocation included in its cap-ital improvement projectbudget.

domly selected residentialaddresses in the county “pro-portionate to the urban/ruralcomposition of residents,” ac-cording toBednar’s presenta-tion.

Of these, 392 usable sur-veys were returned.

About 53 percent of re-spondents were male and 42percent were female while 31percent were over the age of65 and 32 percent were be-tween the ages of 51 and 64.

More than half of the re-spondents have lived inBoone County between twoand 20 years.

“The overall results of thesurvey indicated that BooneCounty residents (respon-dents) are increasingly satis-fiedwith the level and qualityof services provided,” the ex-ecutive summary reads. “Cit-izens rated the county image/appearancewithahigherpos-itive ranking in all categoriesas compared to 2007, as wellas significant reduction ofnegative ratings.”

BURLINGTON — BooneCounty residents are seem-ingly satisfied with the leveland quality of services pro-vided.

At least that’s the conclu-sion of a 2013 citizen satisfac-tion survey, commissionedbythe county Fiscal Court lastyear in partnership withNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity.

“Thepurposeof thesurveywas tomeasure citizens’ eval-uationofcountyperformanceof deliveringbasic public ser-vices, and to get citizen inputon current policy initiativesunder consideration,” an ex-ecutive summary reads.

Frank Bednar presentedthe results of the survey tocourt recently. According toCounty Administrator JeffEarlywine, this is the secondtimethecountyhaspartneredwithNKUandtheprojectwasone Bednar completed as a

graduate student.Survey results can be

found online atbit.ly/boonesurvey.

According to governmentand community relations di-rector Adam Howard, thecost of the survey was about$3,300 and was limited topostage, printing and pre-paidpostageforreturnedsur-veys.

The expense would havebeen significantly greater ifthe county had worked with anational company that pro-vides similar services ratherthan NKU, he said.

The information will bediscussed by Boone Countydepartmentheads“regardingspecific action items thatmight need to be addressed,”Howard said. “Further, thisinformation may be used bythe fiscal court in policy deci-sions regarding 911 fees,property maintenance codeand other issues.”

In November 2013, 3,500surveys were sent out to ran-

According to Bednar’spresentation:

» 71.4 percent of residentswere satisfied with the coun-ty’s snow removal, 10.5 per-cent were dissatisfied, while11.5 percent were neither sat-isfied nor dissatisfied and 1.5percent of respondents neverused the service

» 69.4 percent of respon-dents are satisfied with thephysical conditions of countyroads,while 9percent aredis-satisfied,16.3 percent arenei-ther satisfied nor dissatisfiedand less than 1 percent re-sponded they never usedcounty roads.

Other services surveyedinclude the sheriff’s depart-ment, recreational facilities,drainage along roads andhighways, recreational activ-ities and program, animalcontrol, planning and zoningservices, building inspection,golf courses and code en-forcements.

In January, HansungUniversity PresidentShin-il Kang traveledhalfway around theworldform Korea to visit withNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity President Geof-frey Mearns and sign aDual Degree Agreementthat was the first of itskind for either institution.

The agreement will al-low Korean students ma-joring in management ormarketing to start theircoursework at their homeinstitution in Seoul andcomplete it at NKU, atwhich time they will earndegreesfrombothuniver-sities. It expands an al-ready strong partnershipbetween the two schoolsand could serve as a blue-print for similar agree-ments.

“This partnership is animportant one,” saidMearns. “Dual-degreeagreements such as thisoneexpandtheopportuni-ties for our students tostudy in foreign coun-tries, and these agree-ments bring internationalstudents to our campus,thereby enriching theeducational experiencefor all of our students.”

Kangwas ac-companiedby Jae-Whak Roh,dean of theOffice ofPlanningand Exter-nal Affairs

at Hansung. Togetherthey toured the NKUcampusandmetwithnon-degree-seeking HansungUniversity students cur-rently studying at North-ern on an existing ex-change program.

“The very fact that thepresident of HansungUniversity and the deanof external affairs trav-eled all this way to signthis agreement speaksvolumes about the impor-tance of it,” said FrançoisLeRoy,executivedirectorof the NKU InternationalEducationCenter. “This isnot common. That is, usu-allywhenagreements aresigned, it doesn’t involveone president travelinghalfway around theworldto sign it. We’ve grown toknoweach other to a level– someof us are on a first-name basis now. It is afriendship as well be-

tween the two schools.”Through the Dual De-

greeprogram,NKUis ex-pected toenroll about fiveHansung students peryear and cannot exceed10. This is in addition tonon-degree-seeking Han-sung students, of whichthere are currently 17.Students in the new pro-gram must complete atleast 50 hours atHansungbefore coming to NKU.

“This is a new way ofengaging our partner in-stitutions beyond thestandard student and fac-ulty exchange,” said Le-Roy. “This implies a veryhigh level of trust be-tween the two institu-tions. This is a high-func-tioning partnership and itmakes sense that weshould be doing this withHansung.”

Since the inaugurationof the exchange programin 2007, 59 Hansung stu-dents have studied atNKUand15Northernstu-dentshaveparticipated inthe Hansung UniversitySummer Program. NKUalso has a partnershipwith Sookmyung Wom-en’s University in Seoul.

LEXINGTON — Ben Hepplerstood at center court on theRuppArena floor andkept look-ing around at all the chaos andcelebration around him.

Chaos, celebration andcheer, same first letters as Co-vington Catholic Colonels, whowere celebrating their firststate basketball championshipMarch 23.

“I’m trying to soak it all in,”Heppler said. “I’ll rememberthis for the rest of my life.”

Cov Cath outlasted ScottCounty in overtime, 59-51 Sun-day afternoon, March 23, at theUniversity of Kentucky’s his-toric basketball arena. It wasthe third title in Northern Ken-tucky history, and the second inthe past six tournaments by aNinth Region team (Holmes,2009). Itwasalso the first inCovCath history in its ninth trip tothe Sweet 16.

“It’s incredible,” said seniorforward Mark Schult. “Youdream of it, as a little kid, goingout andwinning your last game,and it’s hard to believe we actu-ally did it.”

The Colonels finished with a33-2 record. After losing toHolmes in the 35th District fi-nal, the Colonels won sevenstraight games. They trailed inthe second half in three of thefour state tourney games.

With a veteran team andmost of the student body in at-tendanceas theColonelCrazies,it was a great day for CovingtonCatholic.

“It’s so special,” said headcoachScottRuthsatz. “Youhaveto look at the administration ondown, what they’re doing at Co-vington Catholic. You have togive so much credit to the Cra-zies. Our Colonel nation reallysupported us, and not just thisgame, all season long. Being the

firstwinner of it, it feels fantas-tic.”

Said Heppler: “It’s reallyspecial to be the first ones andhang that first banner up there.We’ve always had that emptyspot and since CoachRuthsatz’sfirst day we said we would bethe ones to put it up there. The 6a.m. workouts in the summer,playing in the gym all thosetimes, it paid off.”

CovCath’s fitness and tough-ness in adversity paid offagainst the experienced Cardi-nals, who were seeking theirthird state title (35-4). After anearly 9-3 lead, Cov Cath was onthe wrong end of a 22-4 run andtrailed 27-18 at halftime. Scotthad three 3-pointers in a 70-sec-ond span by juniorHines Jones,who averaged four points agame for the year. Forward To-nyMartini had Scott’s first fivepoints and posted 17 points and16 rebounds for the game. CovCath shot just 6-of-22 in the firsthalf, several of those missescoming from around the rim.

“We’ve been in this situationbefore and we knew we couldpull through,” Nick Ruthsatzsaid. “We knew eventually wewouldstarthittingsomeand thefourth quarter we just buckleddown. All the conditioningthrough the summer pulled usthrough.”

Cov Cath trailed by fourpoints, 47-43, with 1:33 to go.Ruthsatz tied the game with apair of foul shots with 51 sec-onds to play.

Ruthsatz gave Cov Cath itsfirst lead since 9-8 early in OT,then tied the game at 51 with2:16 toplay.A tip-inby juniorBoSchuh gave the Colonels thelead for good with 1:46 to play.

After three missed shots bythe Cardinals on their next pos-session, Ruthsatz grabbed therebound and made two foulshots with 57 seconds to play tomake it 55-51. Following anoth-

er missed shot, CCH seniorParker Keller made two freethrows, then Heppler scoredthe final points of the season ona fast-break layup.

“We just played better de-fense, tried to lock themdown,”Heppler said. “That’s the expe-rience of this team with threesenior starters and Parker hit-

ting those huge free throws atthe end. It’s a team game. Ev-erybody can score. Most teamsaround the state don’t have fiveguys who can guard everybodyso thatworks toouradvantage.”

Ruthsatz had 25 points andfive assists. Schult had12pointsand six rebounds. Hepplerscoredeightwithapairof treys.Freshman guard Cole VonHan-dorf had nine points, and Schuhposted 12 rebounds.

One of VonHandorf’s chieftasks was guarding Scott Coun-ty star guardTrentGilbert,whocame in averaging 26 points pergame. TheMr. Basketball final-ist, who is getting interest fromseveral Division I schools, onlyscored 10 points on 4-of-25shooting. Cov Cath rotated sev-eral defenders on himand oftendouble-teamed him in the back-court.

“We just tried to pressurehim as much as possible, be-cause we knew he’s a greatshooter,” Scott Ruthsatz said.“You can never leave him open.Wehadahint of thewayhe likesto go and shoot, and we tried tokeep fresh guys on him.”

The fatigue may have had ahand in two crucial foul-shotmisses by Gilbert. A 91 percentshooter for the year, Gilbertmade28 inarow in theSweet16.However, he missed the frontends of two one-and-one situa-tions late in regulation.

“I love stepping up andbeingable to shut him down,” Von-Handorf said. “They toldme if Ishut him down, we win. I triedmy best. He’s a great player, I’llgive him so many props. I can’twait to see where he goes nextyear. (Assistant coach) Joe Fre-drick told me all of his moves, Ihad them all down, I felt I couldplay him fairly well.”

Union rezoning notwanted

I want to express my strongopposition to the request forrezoning land within the citylimits of Union, namely in andaround Route 42.

With the newMarketplaceopening onMall Road thereshould be plenty of availableshopping at that location forthis area. My personal opinionis that allowing another Krogerstore is all about tax money andpolitics, and not necessarily inthat order. Someone here inBoone County is trying to makea name for themselves at theexpense of the Harmony neigh-borhood and the community ofUnion.

Carespring was smartenough to withdraw their re-quest due to the majority ofcommunity support nixing therezoning. In order for the Har-mony community, as well as thecity of Union, to continue togrow, it would be my recom-mendation that more time andeffort be spent on finalizing theMt. Zion Road relocation andTown Center Plan. The city ofUnion has the charisma of asmall Kentucky town and I feelmost of the citizens would sup-port business efforts that coin-cide with the Town Center Plan.Our local senate representativeliving in Arbor Springs may beable to assist in future endeav-ors.

Businesses against BrentSpence tolls

The following business lead-ers of Northern Kentucky areunited against tolls because weknow the true cost to this com-

munity will be devastating.The governor’s highway plan

calls for tolls to pay $1.78 billionfor the proposed Brent Spenceproject. Despite baseless as-sertions to the contrary, $1 atrip is not going to cover that.Tolls in Louisville are beingintroduced at $1 but the fineprint calls for increases asneeded, and they will be need-ed. And, with $12 a trip trucktolls being proposed in Louis-ville, the cost to the common-wealth is unimaginable.

Over 175,000 vehicles crossthe bridge daily, with 65 percentof those vehicles being North-ern Kentucky drivers. If those113,750 drivers pay a toll of$2.50 a trip, it will cost North-ern Kentucky almost $104 mil-lion a year. Those lost dollarsthen fail to circulate and affectour community. This will forev-er cripple Northern Kentucky.

There is a much better wayfor Northern Kentucky to ad-dress this issue. In 1987 theKentucky Transportation Cab-inet recommended that we re-route I-71 through I-75 andacross southern Boone, Kentonand Campbell Counties crossingthe Ohio River and linking theinterstate to I-275 on the Ohio

side. This alternate route wasenvisioned to reduce traffic onthe Brent Spence Bridge bywell over thousands of cars aday.

At the same time, it wouldadd a new Ohio/Kentucky cross-ing and open up vast areas fordevelopment and create tre-mendous growth in both Ohioand Kentucky. This would alsoimmediately take a largeamount of traffic away from theI-75 bridge in Covington. Thepromise of new commercial,industrial and residential devel-opments will mean jobs, jobsand jobs – a large capital in-fusion into our economy. This afar better way for the NorthernKentucky region and the stateof Kentucky to spend our hard-earned money.

We, the following NorthernKentucky based businesses, areagainst tolls and for alternativesolutions. Please vote againsttolls and HB 407.

For more than a year, Iwas a member of the Ken-tucky Veterans Hall ofFame Foundation, board ofdirectors. During my timethere, I observed howthings were being run and Iwas disgusted by it. Duringdiscussions, much moreemphasis was put on whocould help the foundationrather than who actuallydeserved to be inducted.Seeing the hand writing on

the walland unableto do any-thing aboutit, I re-signed myposition onJune 2,2013.

I find itshockingbut notsurprisingthat two

leading figures in theKVHOFF have been in-ducted in the first class. Ibelieve the induction of theExecutive Director andCEOH.B. Deatherageshows a complete disregardfor ethics and the integrityof the board. Another in-ductee is Brandon Baileywho serves as chairman ofthe Selection Committee.His selection was also giv-en help by the fact that hismother sat on the SelectionCommittee. I cannot be-lieve the arrogance of thesepeople to induct themselvesinto this hall and ignore somany more qualified anddeserving veterans.

While I was a member ofthe hall of fame board ofdirectors, I campaignedhard to induct all 59 Ken-tuckyMedal of Honor re-cipients in the first year.The Selection Committeedecided to induct only thefour living Medal of Honorrecipients. Thus rejecting55 of our state’s greatestheroes and voting for them-selves with minor qual-ifications. I guess that liv-

ing Medal of Honor recipi-ents put more people in theseats at the dinner. There-fore the heroes that are nolonger with us become lessimportant.

This in no way is meantto diminish the lives andaccomplishments of anyMedal of Honor recipient.They all deserve to be inthe Kentucky Veterans Hallof Fame before anyoneelse.

A look at the numbers isvery revealing. There is noquestion that the four Med-al of Honor recipients de-serve to be there. Of the 23others, 10 are from Boone,Campbell and Kenton coun-ties. That means that 43percent were selected fromthree of Kentucky’s 120counties. That is not fairbut also not surprising.That is because the Hall ofFame Foundation, all oftheir friends and associatesare located in NorthernKentucky.

The hall of fame is agreat idea and I was proudto be a part of the founda-tion until I saw the self-serving decisions and ac-tions of its leaders. By theiractions, the leadership hasdisgraced the KentuckyVeterans Hall of Fame andcheapened the honor ofbeing selected for induc-tion. The selection ofDeatherage and Bailey hasgiven the hall of fame a bigblack eye fromwhich it willnever recover. Instead ofhall of fame, it has becomethe hall of Shame. To givethe hall any chance of sur-vival, these two individualsmust be removed. Theymust be removed from theKentucky Veterans Hall ofFame and from the Ken-tucky Veterans Hall ofFame Foundation.

Howwould you invest$100,000 in our community, ifyou had the chance?

I answered that question onmyNKY.org, where I chose toinvest $100,000 in virtual dollarsinto education, and more specif-ically, early childhood educa-tion, while playing the myNKYcommunity priority game.

Have you heard about myN-KY? It’s a six-month commu-nity visioningcampaign thatlaunched inJanuary toengage resi-dents, educa-tors, politiciansand businessesin determiningthe prioritiesfor NorthernKentucky’snext five-year

strategic plan.I chose to invest in education

because I see it as a great equal-izer of opportunity, helpingensure the future success of allchildren, and in turn their com-munities, regardless of theirsocioeconomic status. In fact,programs supporting childrencan’t start early enough—re-search shows the importance ofearly child development and itspositive effect on later academ-ic and social progress.

Closer to home, the recent

release of kindergarten readi-ness data shows that in North-ern Kentucky only 53 percent ofchildren are ready for kinder-garten. This sobering factshould drive Northern Kentuck-ians to act by promoting, en-couraging and investing in qual-ity early education programsfor children, making educationinitiatives a key priority for ourregion. Programs like homevisitation for first-time moms,initiatives to grow the numberof high-quality child care spotsavailable, social and emotionaldevelopment for young stu-dents and programs that createmore stable families so childrencan be successful. This is wherewe need to invest our money.

There are few opportunitiesand initiatives designed to cata-pult Northern Kentucky fartherand faster than those in theearly childhood realm. It’s afact – investing in childrenmeans investing in our future.

One way you can do that isfollowing my lead and visitingmyNKY.org, the hub for col-lecting community input indeveloping the next five-yearstrategic plan. The site featuresan interactive prioritizationgame and a variety of polls andchallenge questions on the topicof education, as well as otherssuch as transportation, health &wellness, and jobs.

Visiting myNKY.org and

lending your opinion and yourvoice will affect the direction ofthe next strategic plan, whichguides lawmakers and commu-nity movers and shakers whenit comes time to invest publicfunds.

Ask yourself, “What onething can be done to improvethe quality of life in NorthernKentucky?” While you mayanswer differently than I did,your input during the myNKYcampaign could make the dif-ference in making NorthernKentucky a better community.

Whether you do it online orin-person, myNKY is yourchance to tell Vision 2015 whatareas you believe will move theregion forward. Let’s talk aboutour future. Let’s talk about ourpriorities. Let’s make our voicesheard.

No recipes today! I’mveering off course andgetting on my soapboxabout cookware. We’regoing into the busy bridalseason and I get morequestions about cook-ware and cutlery thanyou’d believe. Here’s aprimer of sorts on cook-ware – in a future columnwe’ll chat about cutlery.Cut this column out andarm yourself with it

when youshop forcookware.

Buyingcookwarecan beconfusingto say theleast.Should yougo byprice? Bylooks? By

popularity? Buy individ-ual pieces or sets? Dosome soul searching,think about the way youcook, your lifestyle, andpick cookware that willserve you best. Cook’sIllustrated has sometimely information ontheir site about cookwarechoices. For the mostpart, you get what youpay for, especially whenit comes to stainless steeland cast iron. The cook-ware that will last a life-time isn’t going to beinexpensive, but youknow what? In the longrun, you’ll save time,money, the environmentand, maybe most impor-tant, your sanity!

Material: It can bestainless steel, alumi-num, anodized alumi-num, copper with atinned or stainless insidesurface, cast iron, castiron with enameled in-side, ceramic, temperedglass and nonstick, toname just a few.

Clad stainless steel.On its own, stainless is apoor conductor of heat.Buy a stainless pan withcopper or aluminum in it.The best cookware is“clad” which means ithas aluminum or coppercore that is sandwiched,or clad, between stain-less steel. It’s also calledtriple or five-ply. Thereare two kinds of clad:Fully clad like what I justdescribed where thesandwiched core extendsfrom the bottom of thepan all the way up thesides (creating layers) orbottom clad which have adisk of aluminum orcopper on the bottomonly. Both perform well,but the fully clad is my

choice and the highestquality. All Clad pans,made in Pennsylvania,are tops in my book. Youcan use metal utensils.

Aluminum. Look foranodized aluminum,which means the pan hasbeen put through a proc-ess that changes thealuminum structure to benon-reactive to foods,just like stainless, andyou can use metal uten-sils. You get great brown-ing with this cookware.

Copper. Best conduc-tor of heat but often themost expensive andneeds maintaining to lookgood. Awesome brown-

ing. You can use metalutensils.

Cast iron. I call thisthe original nonstick.Heats up slowly andretains heat. When weleft home, Mom gave usone of her heirloom castiron skillets. I won’t frymy kibbi patties in any-thing else. Made in theUSA, these are treasures.If you find one at a ga-rage sale that’s made inthe USA, snatch it up!Lodge, Wagner and Gris-wold are familiar names.The downside is cast ironis heavy and needs to beseasoned, and dried rightaway after cleaning. The

perk is you get a boost ofiron when you cook withit. There are now cast

iron pieces that are pre-seasoned. Metal utensilsare OK.

Enameled cast iron.My time-honored LeCreuset, which doublesas a Dutch oven, has anenameled cooking sur-face, which gives thebenefit of cast iron with-out the angst. Greatbrowning qualities. Bestto use silicone or woodenutensils.

Nonstick. There is alot of debate about thisbeing a safe cookingsurface. My researchindicates that Teflon-coated pans are consid-ered safe as long asthey’re not overheated orpeeling/flaking. “Greenpans,” nonstick pans witha ceramic-type safe coat-ing, are popular now.Nonsticks do not brownas well, for the most part,as regular pans, butthey’re wonderful foreggs, waffles, cheesesandwiches, low-fat cook-ing, etc. You need no oil

except for flavor/brown-ing and clean up is abreeze. Unless otherwisestated, use silicone orwooden utensils.

WALTON — Jordan Ste-phenson is putting a lot on hisplate.

The 28-year-old lifelongKenton County resident isstarting a new restaurantfeaturing fresh, locally-sourced, organic ingredientsin a location known as muchfor its illicit history as itsgood food.

Stephenson Mill Tavernand Grill, at 14042 DixieHighway, was called theWoodland Inn in the 1940s,and then-owner Glenn “Bull-dog” Wright” boasted thearea’s best prime rib whilerumors lingered about illegalgambling and a brothel oper-ating out of the rural eatery.

“I remember coming herewith my dad, Jimmy Ray,”said Stephenson. “We’d ridehere in his ‘72 GMC truck,and we’d get two shrimpcocktails each. They cost$7.50 for five jumbo shrimp.”

He’s considering namingthe shrimp cocktail for hisdad, or maybe bar managerRachel Isaacswill craft a sig-nature cocktail in his honor.

Isaacswon2012’sNotYourPink Drink contest from theBourbon Women Associationwith her bourbon-based or-

ange-flavored martini, NotYour Subourbon Housewife.

She will be crafting moreexclusivebeveragescleverlynamed to highlight the res-taurant’s history, which in-cludes more of Stephenson’sfamily history.

“Beth Turner and JimmyRay Stephenson, those love-birds, met out here in thespring of 1982. This is theplace where people meet,”said Stephenson. “I want tobring it back to its legendarystatus. It doesn’t need to beanother roadside hole-in-the-wall. It can be a classy placewhere people can hold wed-ding receptions or specialdinners.”

Stephenson plans a casualfamily-friendly menu thatfeatures all-natural hot dogsfor thekidsaswell as sustain-ably-farmed pasture-raisedchicken and local producetheir parents can feel goodabout.

“I’ve read about chickenwings being shipped to Chinato get broken down, thenshipped back here. How doesthat even work? I want peo-ple to feel really confidentabout the meats we servehere,” said Stephenson.

Many of the farms provid-ing ingredients are nearby.

Stephenson’s poultry pro-ducer isRisingPhoenixFarminMorningView,andhe’ll get

cheese from Ed-Mar Dairy,both of which are about sixmiles away.

He’s even arranged to getbottled pure spring waterfrom Climax, Ky., and foreach bottle Stephenson sells,he plans to contribute 50cents to a water-affiliatedcharity.

His ground beef for bur-gers will come from Elm-wood Stock Farm in George-town, and he plans to get spe-cialties like lamb bacon fromSmoking Goose Meatery inIndianapolis.

“That’s not from Ken-tucky, unfortunately,” hesaid. “Everythingwecanpro-vide from Kentucky, we will.I learned about theKentuckyProud program, and withoutthat, I wouldn’t have beenable to find these farms. I’mlucky there are so manygreatfarmssoclose. Iwant tohelp make people aware ofthe benefits of eating locally.Let’s get it in their brains. It’sbetter for your heart and bet-ter for the environment.”

Stephenson said he has al-ways loved to cook.

“I am just the type of per-son who likes to get a newspice and then learn about itand how I can use it in differ-ent ways. I like using new in-gredients. I just like reallywell-executed simple food.Goodfood isn’t complicated,”

he said. “I’m just going tomake good food simply forregular people.”

A former property man-ager and part-time pokerplayer, Stephenson has spentthepast fivemonths cleaningand renovating the restau-rant, tearing out old carpetand removing the white ce-ramic tile to updatewith con-crete and uncover hardwoodflooring, perfect for a dancefloor.

Rows of light green uphol-stered stools line the bar, andother seating is available athigh-top and regular tables.A side room that seats 24 isavailable for private gather-ings.

“There’snoplace inNorth-ern Kentucky, south of Co-vington that has any kind ofpersonality at all,” Stephen-son said. “Everything aboutus here is special and neat.We’re going to provide anawesome service for thecommunity.”

Crossroads Churchinvited Redwood to par-ticipate in a mission tripto South Africa in Octo-ber.

Redwood’s chief de-velopment officer TellyMcGaha was selected toparticipate. “It was afantastic opportunity forRedwood,” McGahasays, “to share whatwe’ve learned about de-livery of disability ser-vices to a grass rootsagency.”

Crossroads has beenpartnering with andworking in South Africafor nine years.

“We recently learnedabout and began explor-ing a potential partner-ship with the BophelongStimulation Centre,”says Rob Seddon, Cross-roads’ director of SouthAfrica initiatives, “andRedwood’s name imme-diately cameupas some-

one we should invite tothe table.”

The Bophelong Stim-ulation Centre was start-ed in 2010 by a widowwho recognized the un-met needs of childrenwith disabilities in hercommunity. The centerserves 40 individualsranging from toddlers toyoung adults.

“It was interesting totalk with the founder,”said McGaha, “and hearthe similarities betweenher and the people whorecognized a need forRedwood in NorthernKentucky 60 years ago.”

He said that in SouthAfrica people with dis-abilities are shunned,many confined to theirhomes and forced to stayout-of-sight. The centerisaddressing thisbypro-viding a safe place forchildrenandadolescentsto come and interact.

McGaha said Red-wood can be of best ser-vice to the center by en-couraging capacitybuilding through pro-gram development. Tothat end, Redwood has afew projects in theworks. This month,Crossroads will fly theleadersofTopsyFounda-tion, the South Africanorganization that worksclosely with Bophelongand made the introduc-tion, to Cincinnati to con-tinue partnership dis-cussions.

“Redwood is theplacewhere abilities grow.The most importantthing we can do for Bo-phelong is to arm theleaders and employeeswith knowledge and bestpractices,” said McGa-ha.

The young adults inRedwood’s Young AdultTransition program also

will host a charity drivebenefiting the Bophe-long Stimulation Centrein upcoming months.The goal is to provide aportion of the education-al supplies and equip-ment that are desperate-ly needed.

“They have so manyneeds that it almostseems insurmountablewhen you consider thefew resources availableto them on the surface,aswell as the stigmatiza-tion people with disabili-ties face in South Afri-ca,” McGaha said. “Butyou look at Redwood’samazing 60 years andyou realize two things:Anything is possible ... itjust takes time and otherpeople caring.”

“Habitude” is a combi-nation of habits and atti-tudes that influence ouractions and behaviors. At-titudes are our subcon-scious thoughts and feel-ings. Habits are what wedo without thinking.

Our money habitudesare a result of the mes-sages you received andthe experiences you hadwhile growing up. Some

messages may have beenvery clear – like your par-ents requiring that yousave at least 10 percent ofany money you receivedas a gift. Other messageswere more subtle – younoticed your parentsspending more money onspecial foods to impresscertain guests eventhough they had to sacri-fice topurchase the items.

Sourcesof influenceonour habitudes are our per-sonality, our family, our

own experiences, our cul-ture and the society inwhichwe live, our spiritu-al beliefs or religion, andthe media.

Understanding our up-bringing and back-grounds may give us in-sight into how we handleandmanageourmoneyto-day. We may also realizethat ourmoney habits andattitudes have changedover time.

Our habits and atti-tudesmaybegroupedinto

at least six general cate-gories: planner, free spir-it, security seeker, giver,status seeker, or sponta-neous. Most people havequalities that fall into sev-eral of the categories.However,weusuallyhavea dominant money habi-tude. All money habitudegroupings have both posi-tive features and chal-lenges.

For example, a plannermay have specific target-ed goals that help them

succeed in life.On theoth-er hand, they may findthey are workaholics whoare so focused on amoneygoal that theymisshavingfun or miss opportunitiesthat would have led toeven greater success andhappiness.

Take some time tothink back on your life ex-periences to see what hasshapedyourmoneyhabitsand attitudes. Are youcontent with how youmanage your money? Is

there something youshould consider chang-ing?Are you and your sig-nificant other in syncwithmoney management?Knowing what has influ-enced your money habitsmay help you improve inthe future.

Question: Since it takes a few years to startharvesting asparagus, do you think it is even worthplanting?

Answer: Asparagus is definitely worth growingin your own garden. It can get quiteexpensive in the store, and the qual-ity is just not as good as fresh-picked.

I have talked to many gardenerswho love to eat asparagus, but theynever planted it just because youcan’t harvest it right away. But justthink: if you had planted it lastspring, you could enjoy eating itabout three weeks from now, pluseach spring hereafter for manyyears, with little to no care.

Asparagus is a perennial vegeta-ble that, once established, may live 15-30 years.

Locate asparagus to one side of the gardenwhere it will not be disturbed. It is one of the mostvaluable early vegetables and is well adapted tofreezer storage. The spears develop daily in earlyspring (usually ready by mid-to-late April), with therate of emergence increasing as temperaturesincrease.

When planting asparagus crowns, set plants 15to 18 inches apart in rows 30 inches apart. Thefleshy roots, which may spread laterally under thesoil several feet from the rhizomes, store foodreserves that help develop the tender shoots thenext spring. Soil type determines the depth to plantcrowns. Usually they are planted in a trench 12 to15 inches wide and 6 to 8 inches deep.

Plant at the shallower depth if the soil is heavyclay. Incorporate rotted manure or compost, plusfertilizer, into the soil before setting the crownsbecause little organic matter can be added later.Place the crown on a small amount of soil in thetrench, allowing it to be slightly higher than theroots. Spread the roots out and cover the crownwith 2 to 3 inches of soil. Firm down well. As plantsbegin to grow, continue to put more soil around andover the crowns until the trench is filled.

Asparagus shoots or spears should not be har-vested the first year after crowns are set. Limitharvests the second year after planting to three tofour weeks, then let the ferns grow. This procedureis necessary so that the root system will developfrom its limited size and will store food reserves toproduce growth the next year. Plants harvested tooheavily too early after setting may become weak-ened and spindly. After the third year, harvests canbe continued for eight to ten weeks. Harvest spearsdaily when they are 5 to 7 inches tall. Break themoff at the soil level instead of cutting below the soilsurface. Cutting can easily injure the crown budswhich produce the next spears. Harvest in earlymorning and use or refrigerate immediately.

Each year in the early spring, side-dress (fertil-ize) asparagus with 1 pound of 5-10-10 fertilizer per100 square feet. Following freezing weather in thefall, or else in the early spring, remove the deadasparagus tops to decrease disease problems.

HEBRON — Hebron-basednonprofit PawsandClawsAni-mal Rescue will host its inau-gural Fuzz Ball to raisemoneyfor the four-legged fuzzballsthey’re helping.

The Fuzz Ball is 6-10 p.m.Saturday,April12, atHighlandCountry Club, 931 AlexandriaPike, Fort Thomas.

Tickets are $40 per personif purchasedbyApril 4, and in-cludes dinner, beer and wine.The fundraiser also features aphoto booth, slide show, silentauction andmusic. After April4, the cost is $50.

Paws and Claws founderAngie More said the goal is tosell out the event, which is 200people.

All money will go into theorganization’s vetting fund forveterinary costs, More said,“because we have such highvet bills.”

Organizers are still search-ingforsponsorsandsilentauc-tion donations. There are dif-ferent levels of sponsorships,More said, and donations canbeanything, fromgift baskets,gift cards, jewelry and more.

Though it’s just the firstyear, More anticipates it willbe an annual fundraiser.

“This is our inaugural yearand we’re going to do it everyyear tohelp so thatwecancon-tinue to save more animals,”she said.

The idea behind the FuzzBall is one that’s been kickedaround for two years, butMore said she never reallyknew how to go about doing itbecause there’s so much in-volved with it.

So the organization formeda fundraising committee with“some experienced fundrais-ingpeople that’s reallyhelpingus out so we can do it right thefirst time,” she said. “It’s justso hard to get grants, especial-ly for foster-based rescueswhen you don’t have a facility.We rely on donations and usu-ally our adoption fees don’teven cover the amount we’veput into the vetting of the ani-mals.”

Paws and Claws began op-erations in 2012. More says alot of the group’s focus are ani-mals in the shelters who areover looked or will not beplaced for adoption because oftheir health or medical condi-

tions.They focus ondogsandcats

that typically come from eu-thanasia lists at different shel-ters.

More said theywere able tohelp nearly 70 animals in 2012and98 in2013.They’vealreadyhelped 21 animals this year.

“So we’re looking at blow-ing our 2013 numbers out ofthe water, which is why we’rereally in desperate need forthis fundraiser,” she said.

FLORENCE — Coffee is aboutmore than beans, according toTim Stiffler-Dean. It is aboutconnecting people.

“It’s a drink that allows us tohave community with each oth-er,” he said. “It’s a commonground to talk about anything togrow their communities andachieve their goals. It bridgesgaps and removes division be-tween people. It gives us some-thingtocreatecommunitywith.”

Stiffler-Deanrecently openedGuddina Coffee inside VelocityBike & Bean, 7560 BurlingtonPike, Florence. Velocity is yournot-so-typical full-service bikeshop that also brews and servescoffee.

Velocity co-owner Mark Ballsaid he andhiswife and businesspartner Lisa Ball are excited tohave Stiffler-Dean in house.

“Tim’s philosophy compli-ments ours, in that we both de-sire to see our community be-come a better place. A sense ofcommunity is the heart of thecoffee culture,” he said. “Wedon’t want to be just another lo-cal coffee shop, but rather aplace where friends, familiesand neighbors canmeet and con-nect in a warm, welcomingatmosphere.”

Stiffler-Dean,who has a back-ground in technology, discov-ered the world of coffee in 2011when he started working at Bos-ton Stoker, a coffee company inhis hometown of Dayton, Ohio.His passion grew as he traveledthe country tasting coffees. The25 year old, who now lives inFlorence, has worked for someof the best coffee roasters in theMidwest.

“Coffee is an extremely excit-ing world,” he said.

With a team of three friends –Jon Zilber based in San Francis-co, Alice Carback, based in Bos-ton and Jarred Cundith in Den-ver – they started Guddina Cof-fee Club, a coffee subscriptionservice. Every two weeks sub-scribers are sent four coffeesfrom craft roasters from fourdifferent countries. Stiffler-Dean said that all of Guddina’scoffees are ethically sourced.

The name Guddina was cho-sen for the business because itsis an Ethiopian Oromo wordwhich translates as “to grow” or“to achieve.”

“Wewant to see people grow,”he said. “Coffee can help peopledo that. People drink coffee inthe morning to help themthrough their day.We have somereally amazing people in theworld who do some amazingthings.”

Stiffler-Dean opened Guddi-na in coffee shop format earlierthis month to help raise moneyfor an app he is working on thatwill allow users to find locally-owned coffee shops. The goal, hesaid, is to provide an opportunityfor people to gather at a destina-tion that inspires conversation.
