FLORENCE — The last day ofschool for Boone County willtake place on May 29, accord-ing to a vote Thursday of theBoone County Board of Educa-tion.

Superintendent Randy Poesaid the schedule allows oneday more than required by theKentucky Department of Edu-cation.

According to the KentuckyDepartment of Education ateducation.ky.gov , studentsmust be in school a minimumof 1,062 hours, which equals177 six-hour days.

If school is open everyscheduled day until May 29,schools will have had 172 in-structional days. Boone Countystudents are in school an extra12 and a half minutes eachschool day, which allows thoseextra minutes to add up tofewer than 177 days.

“People forget in the spring-time, we have missed schooldue to severe storms,” Poesaid. “We also have the oppor-tunity for early dismissal orlate arrival in case of badweather.”

Boone County Schools wereclosed seven days this winterfor inclement weather condi-tions.

Poe said he’s been asked ifthe planned school holiday onMay 19 would be used as aninstructional day to offsetpossible additional days, andhe said that could not happen.

“May 19 is the date of theprimary election. We’re notallowed to have students inschool,” he said.

BURLINGTON — Henry Fen-ichel was 6 when he and hismother were sent to a Nazi de-tention camp during WorldWar II.

Now, 75 years later, Dr.Fenichel is a Holocaust survi-vor and a University of Cin-cinnati professor emeritus ofphysics. He will present hislife story at 7 p.m. Tuesday,April 28, at the Boone CountyPublic Library, 1786 Burling-

ton Pike. Fenichel did

not speak open-ly about his ex-periences untilhe was inspiredby the openingof the Holo-caust MemorialMuseum in

Washington, D.C. Since then,he has shared his life storywith hundreds of people in thecommunity each year. He wasfeatured in the Enquirer in

2006 as a representative ofHolocaust survivors in theCincinnati area.

Fenichel had a happy child-hood in the Netherlands untilthe Nazis invaded in 1940. Heand his mother were sent toWesterbork detention camp,where 107,000 Jews weretransported on their way toextermination camps in Ger-many. Only 5,200 of the peoplewho passed through Wester-bork survived.

After being sent to Bergen-

Belsen camp in Germany,Fenichel and his mother wereexchanged for German civil-ians held abroad. He then es-caped to Palestine, where hewitnessed the creation of thesate of Israel and the begin-ning of the Palestinian/Israeliconflict that continues today.Eventually he made his way tothe United States where hesettled in a Cincinnati suburb.

FLORENCE — As busi-nesses begin constructionon the eastern side of MallRoad, city leaders are pre-paring to extend a road tothe west in order to helpimprove safety for pedes-trians and drivers.

The $3.5 million pro-ject essentially extendsConnector Drive, whichruns parallel to MallRoad, south past the Phan-tom Fireworks building,

so traffic can exit there atan intersection with atraffic light. The con-struction would alsotransfer the roadwayfrom being private prop-erty to becoming ownedand maintained as a citystreet.

During an April 16 pub-lic meeting to discuss theconstruction, FlorenceCoordinator Richard Lun-nemann said safety is theproject’s biggest benefit.

“The construction willimprove vehicular safety

in the Mall Road corridorby providing access toturn at the light,” he said.“Making that left turn outonto Mall Road, due to thevolume of traffic, is notvery safe.”

Pedestrian safety willalso be improved by theaddition of sidewalksalong the route, Lunne-mann said.

Florence Antique Mallowner Mike Detzel ques-tions how much safer itwill be.

“Our primary concernis to ensure that thiswould in no way cause anysafety issues for our cus-tomers or staff, eitherduring construction or af-ter in place. Since the pro-posed expansion is soclose to our store en-trance, this is a real con-cern for us,” Detzel said.“I can’t address why orwhether this is truly need-

ed or not, as they did notprovide any detailedstudy information oranalysis, just a very basicoverview. We would defi-nitely like to see morehard information on that.I’m sure many otherswould as well.”

Detzel is also con-cerned the project couldintroduce noise or fumesthat could disrupt his op-erations or that custom-ers may have trouble get-ting into the store.

While Detzel was ableto ask questions duringthe public meeting Thurs-day, he was also con-cerned that he hadn’theard about the project

earlier. “This was our first in-

volvement with this pro-posed project,” he said.“At this stage what wasshown to us is still largelypreliminary. They did nothave details we will needto determine whether wewould support this pro-ject or have problemswith it. We clearly out-lined our concerns in de-tail, and we were assuredall would be addressedand reviewed with us forour agreement beforeanything is finalized. Thisis very important to us.”

Lunnemann said theproject’s funding comesfrom the Kentucky De-

partment of Transporta-tion and the governor’s of-fice as economic develop-ment.

Project manager JoshHunt said the project willbe split into two sections.Phase One runs fromSteinberg Drive throughthe parking lot of the Flor-ence Center, past the Flor-ence Antique Mall. PhaseTwo extends ConnectorDrive across a culvert andpast the Phantom Fire-works building.

Lunnemann said PhaseOne bidding will begin inJuly and Phase Two willstart in September. Con-struction will follow inAugust for Phase One andnext year for Phase Two.

“The first part shouldbe completed for trafficby the end of the year, andlandscaping will followduring the next growingseason,” said city engi-neer Bill Viox.

Lunnemann said creat-ing a more complete par-allel road system will helprelieve traffic on the al-ready-congested MallRoad, where Menard’s,Costco and Dave andBuster’s are being builtacross the street.

“This project was con-templated long before theapproval of the FlorenceHeights development,” hesaid.

OCKERMAN HONOR ROLL

For Rovito it has been a life-changing experience.

“I now have a solid plan,” hesaid. “And even a plan B. My coachbeen great in helping me deter-mine what schools I should con-sider and what scholarship and fi-nancial aid opportunities thereare. It’s been great having some-body to talk to about the future.”

Rhonda Whitaker of Duke En-ergy said NaviGo Scholars is agreat tool.

“Duke Energy has served thisregion for more than 176 years,and supporting educational initia-tives has been of keen importanceto us during that time,” she said.“Ensuring that we have a strongfuture workforce will only help tosustain and grow our local econo-my.”

According to Whitaker, “Wewould hope that some of the Navi-Go students might one day consid-er a career at Duke Energy, whichis why our support is primarily fo-cused on STEM opportunities

local middle and high school stu-dents on a successful path to col-lege and beyond, said NaviGofounder Tim Hanner, former Ken-ton County Schools superinten-dent. The NaviGo Scholars pro-grams give current companies arare chance to connect one-on-onewith their future business leaders.

It’s a win-win situation for bothstudents and businesses, Hannersaid.

“It gives the students an oppor-tunity to plan well for their fu-tures, as well as have an under-standing of what companies arelooking for,” he said. “They’re be-coming better prepared for lifebeyond high school. At the sametime the business sponsors arebuilding a relationship with stu-dents.”

Students are partnered with aNaviGo coach who helps themfind a successful path to collegeand future career. By next year,Hanner said there will be 150 stu-dents in the program.

ERLANGER — Nic Rovito, likemany students entering highschool, was unsure of what hewanted to do once he graduated.

The next few years flew by fastand Rovito was still unsure. Hethen discovered a passion forwelding.

“I thought I would be the guywho went into fast food,” he said.“But then I learned about voca-tional school programs. I discov-ered welding and just loved it. Ilike the creativity. It’s like an artclass. You can make anything youwant.”

Still, Rovito wasn’t sure how togo about preparing for the careerpath he was so passionate about.Then, he applied to and was ac-cepted in the NaviGo ScholarsProgram.

The program incorporatesbusiness sponsors – includingDuke, Toyota, Citi, Bank of Ken-

tucky – that hand-pick potentialfuture employees, and guide themat an early age.

Now entering its second year,the program is administeredthrough the Northern KentuckyEducation Council with servicesprovided by NaviGo, College andCareer Prep Services.

The main purpose of both Navi-Go Scholars programs is to guide

within NaviGo. The initiative alsoprovides an opportunity for ouremployees to ‘coach’ the scholarsthat we sponsor.”

Whitaker said investing in thefuture workforce requires “im-mediate attention.” She said DukeEnergy and other businesses needto ensure there are “solid path-ways” for students interested inSTEM carers, advanced manufac-turing and other industry sectors.

“NaviGo provides a great pipe-line into many of these fields,” shesaid. “It is difficult for the schoolsto offer such opportunities ontheir own with such limited re-sources. NaviGo provides a con-nection point between the studentand the many viable careerchoices that fit the student’s inter-ests, talents and aptitude, and of-fers them a closer view into a po-tential field via the interactionwith industry representatives.”

LIFELIFE

FLORENCE — A lot of kidslike lip balm and bouncy balls,but not many get the chance tomake their own using commonagricultural products in amobile trailer packed withtechnology. .

That’s what Florence Ele-mentary students got to dowhen the Kentucky Depart-ment of Agriculture’s MobileScience Activity Center rolledinto town April 7-9.

It’s one of two, 44-feet-longtrailers that allow students toparticipate in hands-on ex-periments while they respondto questions on the center’s 11iPads. The mobile units con-tain internal generators thatpower the tablets along with a70-inch monitor and an all-in-one touch-screen desktopcomputer as well as the heat-ing, air conditioning and ven-tilation system and a handi-capped-accessible ramp.

For more informationabout the Mobile Science Ac-tivity Center or KentuckyAgriculture and Environmentin the Classroom, call 502-573-0282 or visit www.kyagr.com.

Matthew Hayes, an agricul-

ture educator, talked aboutscientific facts and processes,such as pollination, and dis-cussed the differences be-tween a solid and a mixture.

Fifth-graders made eco-friendly plastic bounce ballsfrom corn starch, water andcorn oil with food coloring.The students learned aboutvariable change, or how theoutcome could change theproduct by changing the quan-tity of an ingredient, like add-ing more corn oil when mak-ing the balls.

Soil erosion was the topicof study for the fourth-gradestudents, who tested differenttypes of soil to determine theamount of soil erosion thathad taken place.

Students in grades K-2 hadshorter presentations to learnabout poultry, horses and beefcattle.

However, the third-gradeclass of Kaitlin Bernert got tomake lip balm using beeswax,soybean oil and some flavor-ing.

“This will be a little differ-ent from what you can buy inthe store,” Hayes said. “Thoseare petroleum based and theyhave lots and lots of oils inthem. Here, we use two ingre-

dients that come from agricul-ture. That means it came froma farm.”

They watched while Hayesmelted the beeswax andstirred in the oil, and studentsgot to put in two differentflavors. Hayes poured themixture into small containersthat were sent with Bernert sothey could cool before thestudents tried using the prod-uct.

Bernert said the hands-onlearning provided by thestate’s mobile learning centerhelped her students translatewhat they learn in the class-room to real-world experi-ences.

“I like that it’s really inter-active,” she said. “They arereally listening and it’s a greatchance for them to interactwith technology. This lessonreinforces content we’ve al-ready covered this year, butnow they can see it put intopractice in a real-life scenar-io.”

We’ve hardly had time to be indoorsthis week.

Between hunting for morel mush-rooms and ramps (we’ve only found onemushroom so far, and that was a falsemorel, not edible, but the ramps/wildleeks are abundant), picking violets forjellies and jams, checking out wild flow-ers in the woods and getting the gardensplowed and mulched for spring planting,I’m grateful when dusk comes.

But I have to admit, I love this timeof year.

It brings out my simple creativeside, and that means making crystal-lized flowers and leaves.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educa-tor, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profession-al and author. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Garnish a dishwith crystallized

flowers and leaves

Crystallized/candied edible flowers and leaves

All parts must be coated both with egg white and granulated sugar sothat they preserve well. If you’re concerned about using raw egg white, buypasteurized eggs. These are beautiful as a garnish for baked goods, icecream, etc. Nothing like the commercial ones which are tumbled in drumsand look like colored nuggets.

Egg whiteGranulated sugar, regular or fine

First, make sure you have “clean” petals and leaves, no toxic spray onthem. They must be dry. Whip egg white until foamy. Whipping allows youto coat petal without weighing it down. Take a small brush and coat petalon both sides very lightly but thoroughly. You can place it on a flat surfaceand coat each side with egg white. Have a small dish or pile of sugar ready.Place flatly on sugar to coat underside and sprinkle top lightly and thor-oughly. Check underside to make sure it’s coated well. Gently shake offexcess sugar. Carefully lay on wire rack to dry. Drying may take several daysor more. They’re ready when you can break off a piece cleanly, without itbending. Store covered in single layers at room temperature away from anyhumidity.

See process in stages along with list of other edible flowers, onAbouteating.com.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: I’m going to test these using water insteadof egg white. I’ll let you know how they turn out.

List of edible flowers/herb leaves I used:Violets, violas, pansies, impatiens, mint leaves, violet leaves.

Grab and go morning glory muffins

A much loved recipe enjoying a comeback. Supposedly it was a “hip-pie” recipe when the natural food movement began and gave renewedenergy after a night of hard partying. I usually grab one before headingoutside. This is a substantial muffin!

1-1/4 cups sugar2 -1/4 cups all purpose flour1 tablespoon cinnamon, apple pie or pumpkin spice blend2 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut3/4 cup raisins, dried cherries, or your favorite dried fruit1 large apple, peeled and grated1 cup crushed pineapple, drained2 cups grated carrotsGenerous 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts3 large eggs1 cup vegetable oil - I’ve used canola and safflower1 tablespoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon, bakingsoda and salt. Add coconut, raisins, apple, pineapple, carrots and nuts, andstir to combine. Separately, whisk eggs with oil and vanilla. Pour over dryingredients and blend. Spoon into muffin tins lined with muffin cups, fillingeach almost to brim. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted intocenter comes out clean. Cool muffins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto arack to finish cooling.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Once you mix wet and dry ingredients to-gether, don’t over mix, which may create tunnels in baked muffins, makingthem less tender.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Candied – and edible – flowers make a creatively simple garnish.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONNow that the U.S. is “normaliz-ing” relations with Cuba, andhas removed it from the list ofstate sponsors of terrorism, howwill this benefit or hurt the U.S.?Would you be more or less likelyto visit Cuba? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] Ch@troom in the subject line.

The year was 1992,and I was one of theup-and-coming Demo-crats in Boone County.Being elected jailer in1987, at the age of 31,had made me theyoungest elected offi-cial in the county.That’s when a repre-sentative from Sen.Wendell Ford’s officecalled and asked me to be theBoone County chairman forhis 1992 re-election campaign.It was an offer that couldn’tbe turned down.

They told me Wendell was

doing a bus tour inNorthern Kentuckyand he would makeone stop. I thoughtand thought and cameup with the idea ofWendell stopping atthe new Walmart onHouston Road insteadof the traditional stopat the courthouse.Mind you, this was not

the super Walmart we havetoday. In 1992, however, it wasthe spot and always crowded.

On the day of Wendell’sarrival, public officials fromBoone County gathered with

store managers in the parkinglot. The bus pulled up and offhe stepped. As a young manhaving a lifelong interest inpolitics, I was definitely star-struck. Wendell taught me agood political lesson that day.Even though he had only to-ken opposition, he shook ev-ery hand in the store – evengoing into the backroom tomeet employees and discussfishing lures with several oldmen in the sporting goodssection.

We then went out to thefront of the store where apodium was set up and the

Cincinnati media had gath-ered for a press conference.Wendell pulled out a Winstoncigarette, fired it up and said,‘OK boys, when it’s down tothe filter the press conferenceis over. First question please.’And that’s exactly the way itwent. When he smoked thecigarette to the filter, hethrew it to the ground,stepped on it, waved goodbyeand disappeared into the bus.He was re-elected by a land-side.

Today, I’m one of the long-est serving public officials inBoone County – a conserva-

tive Republican who has goneon to chair many Republicancampaigns.

The news of Wendell’sdeath earlier this year re-minded me of this old saying:The more things change, themore they stay the same. Wen-dell H. Ford was a great pub-lic servant who we all loved.He taught me a lot that day.

A lesson in local campaigning from Wendell Ford

John SchickelCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Have you evertaken time to ask your-self “what do we wantfor our children?” Ibelieve everyone whoanswers would say wewant our common-wealth to provide anequal playing field forall our children; wewant all children tohave great childhoods,to succeed in schooland to grow into healthy andproductive citizens.

Yet somehow, this doesn’talways seem to be reflectedin either our attitudes, oractions, toward our children.There are numbers to sup-port that statement too. InKentucky, according to KIDSCOUNT Data, almost 12 per-cent of our school-aged chil-dren experienced chronicabsenteeism in 2011-2012;70,000 children were livingwith neither of their parentsin 2013; income issues (76.3percent), mental health (40.9percent) and substance abuse(60.4 percent) were factorsmost often cited in 2012 aspart of abuse/neglect investi-gations; and 45.1 out of every1,000 children were bookedinto a secure juvenile deten-tion facility in 2001-2013.

If we want to do better forchildren, we can’t just rely onthe government. We have torecognize we all play a role inthe lives of children and fam-ilies, and each of us has boththe ability to promote thekind of actions and factorsthat help families thrive.

What we can do is start byworking to ensure children

are born healthy andraised in stable andnurturing environ-ments. Services thathelp reduce incidenc-es of birth complica-tions like low birthweight, which canlead to lifelong healthproblems like diabe-tes and heart disease,are an example of theways we can help the

first part. For the second,there are individual actionswe can take every day, asparents or otherwise, that canhelp raise up families andconsequently, our communi-ties.

Take coaching a sportsteam, for example. After-school programs like sportsor academic clubs providelow-cost opportunities forchildren to learn and growwithout forcing parents toleave work early.

If you’re a business owner,instituting family-friendlypolicies can be good for bothyour bottom line and thefamilies of your employees.

These are a few examplesof the ways we can CommitTo Prevent. Working to createa better state for our childrenand families isn’t complicat-ed, but it is hard. That’s whyit takes all of us. Please log onto www.pcaky.org or call1-800-CHILDREN or 859-225-8879 to find out how you canhelp.

UNION — With the weatherbothering everyone so far thisseason in high school baseball,the Ryle High School baseballteam is happy to finally be play-ing regularly.

Head coach Pat Roesel wasalso happy to play a full threegames in the Doc Morris Invita-tional, in which his Raiderswere one of the hosts April 16-18. The showcase honors a de-ceased former Northern Ken-tucky umpire and proceeds areused for local scholarshipfunds.

“It’s a great tournament for agreat cause, scholarships forthe kids,” said Roesel, who hasbeen Ryle’s only head baseballcoach since the school opened in1992. “He was here when I wasplaying and when I startedcoaching.”

The Doc Morris changedfrom its former tournament for-mat to an invitational showcasethis year, with 24 teams playingin six sites, four teams at eachsite all playing each other. It’s abig change from the 16-teamsingle-elimination format,which held form for manyyears. In its current form, ev-ery team plays three games in-stead of potentially only one.

Among the visitors to thetournament were 2014 statechampion Louisville St. Xavier,

several other top Kentuckyteams, and Cincinnati powerMoeller. Ryle went 2-0 in itsbracket, beating Newport Cen-tral Catholic and Cooper and ty-ing Boyd County 4-4 in a gamesuspended by darkness. Ryle is7-8 with that tie as well.

“It’s nice to change the for-mat that we had and get someteams like Boyd County. Moell-er coming over, Glen Este,”Roesel said. “It’s been good forthe whole tournament to helpthese guys get here. Teams willcome up for three games and it

gives teams around the state achance to see the type of base-ball we play up here. There’ssome good baseball in theNinth.”

Leadoff hitter Brady Ast, asenior, had two hits and tworuns scored against Cooper. Heled off Ryle’s three-run first in-ning with a double. Ryle left 13runners on base, which was aconcern for Roesel. Alex Goo-dridge notched the win on themound.

It’s the second time theUnion rivals played in a seven-day period. The teams were setto reunite again April 22 in whatwill be the official seedinggame for the 33rd District Tour-nament. Ryle has already lost toBoone County and beat Connerin district play.

“It’s been really nice to havea couple of days when we don’thave rain,” Roesel said. “Weneed to get kids hitting and getthem in rhythm. And that’s whatit’s all about with hitting andpitching - getting into a rou-tine.”

Ryle will next play at ScottSaturday, April 25.

“When we field the ball, wehave a chance. We haven’t hitthe ball consistently but ourpitching has been good enoughto keep us in games, and wefield.”

good team. Our sprints havebeen doing well, and our fieldhas been better than it’s everbeen.”

Junior Erik Pavek upped hisCooper school record with a dis-cus throw of 130 feet, 3 inches atthe Ryle Relays. Coach GregTieke said that should qualifyPavek for the April 24-25 Louis-ville Eastern Relays, whichdraws athletes from multiplestates. The Jaguars’ three-mandiscus team placed first in theevent.

The Jaguars’ four-mile relayteam of Stewart, Baker, ConnorGreenhalgh and Jake Vander-mosten shattered the Ryle Re-lays meet record by more than16 seconds with a time of18:39.03. Stewart was in on threeRyle Relays winners. He ran themile anchor for the winning dis-tance medley relay team.

Caleb Watson won the 200-and 400-meter races at the Fri-day Night Frenzy. Stewart wonthe 1,600 and 3,200. CameronLong is giving the Jaguars

If the Ryle boys’ track andfield team is hosting county ri-val Cooper at Borland Stadiumto ensure high quality competi-tion, the Raiders are getting ex-actly what they want.

The past two trips the Jag-uars have made to Ryle have re-sulted in a meet victory for thevisitors. Cooper won last week’s14th annual Friday Night Fren-zy with 133 points, outpacingrunner-up Dixie Heights (102)at the 13-team meet. The Jag-uars doubled Ryle’s total (66).

Thursday at the seven-teamRyle Relays, Cooper edged therunner-up Raiders, 104-102 bytaking the final race. The teamof Tyler Brennan, ZacharyStewart, Brady Baker andGreyson Winiger took the 1,600-meter relay in 3 minutes, 33.78seconds to clinch it for the Jag-uars.

The news was better for theRyle girls. They set a meet rec-ord in the 400-meter relay andwon the Ryle Relays team title,and the Friday Night Frenzyteam title, both by wide mar-gins.

The Cooper boys will at-tempt to make it three meetwins in a row in the county onMonday when they head to theBoone County Championshipsin Florence. If the Jaguars pulloff that feat, they may start get-ting some sidelong glancesfrom the Raiders.

“Everybody’s doing wellright now,” said Stewart, part ofa strong Cooper senior class.“We’ve been rounding into a

points in all three jumpingevents.

“We’ve been scoring well,and we’ve been balanced,”Tieke said. “It’s been in theworks for years to get a morebalanced team. The distancehas always been there, but nowwe’re scoring in sprints and inthe field.”

The Jaguars compete in Sat-urday’s annual Donnie CarnesMemorial Meet at CampbellCounty. Though they have posi-tioned themselves for the op-portunity to win four meets in 11days, the one thing Tieke isn’tlooking for in April is local dom-ination. For the Jags, it’s allabout peaking in late May. Theyfinished third at last year’s re-gional meet and 24th at state,and that won’t do.

“The season is like putting to-gether a puzzle,” said the coach.“First, you put all the pieces onthe table. Then you start turn-ing them over. But it’s not untilthe end of the season, at regionand state, until you know whichpieces fit together. We may notknow what the best relay teamslook like until then. Right now,we’re looking at all the pieces.”

INDEPENDENCE —There’s something, well,magical about magic,according to JasonSmith.

It’s more than asleight of hand or animpressive illusion –magic has a practicalside, according to theIndependence magician.

“It can build self-esteem and confidence,”he said. “That’s what itdid for me.”

Smith, 39, of Inde-pendence, was a shychild. He kept to himself.Watching a magic showwhile on a trip to Gatlin-burg, Tenn., at age 10,however, dramaticallychanged the course of hislife.

He was enthralledwith the performance.Before he knew it, whenthe magician asked for avolunteer Smith foundhis young hand flyingthrough the air.

“I was hooked,” hesaid.

Things suddenlychanged in Smith’s life.He found himself moresocial, making newfriends with fun tricksthat entertained andintrigued. He set out on amagical path that wouldlead him to become “Ja-son the Great.”

“I’d go to the libraryand check out books onmagic and visit localmagic shops,” he said.“For birthday and Christ-mas I’d ask for newtricks to perform. At 13, Igot my first paying gig.My neighbors paid me$15 to perform at a birth-day party. I thought:‘This is nice, I’m havingfun and making money.’”

He’s kept it up. Smith,who is self-employed,also works part time as amagician. He recentlypublished a children’sbook, “How Wesley Mag-ically Made Friends,”with the goal to inspireyoung people to try mag-ic.

“It can really make a

difference,” he said. “Forme magic was really aself-esteem booster. It’ssomething I love and I’mstill at it. I wrote thisbook to encourage youngpeople to try it. It canbuild their self-esteemand open doors for them,as it has done for me.”

According to Smith,performing magic is awonderful way to con-nect to people.

“I really enjoy peo-ple’s reaction,” he said.“Every time I do a show Ican be doing the sametrick, but every reactionis different.”

Smith makes quite animpact on those he visitstoo. Pastor Bill Clark atHickory Grove BaptistChurch in Independencesaid Smith lives up to hisname, Jason the Great.

“The illusions he didwere awesome, well-performed, and theyutilized participationfrom among the players,which is always so effec-tive,” he said. “We haveutilized a lot of illusion-ists in our 17 years ofdoing Upward SportsOutreach. To date, Jasonhas been the absolutebest.”

We all want to eat foodthat tastes good. One ofthe most common wayswe tend to make foodtaste good is by adding

salt. Dietshigh insodium,however,can raiseblood pres-sure,which canlead tomany ma-jor healthissuesincluding heart disease.

Herbs provide a greatway for us to limit oursodium intake while stillconsuming flavorfulfoods. Soon, farmersmarkets and gardencenters will have plantson hand.

Herbs are also someof the easiest things togrow. The simplest wayto start an herb garden isto buy plants and trans-fer them to a windowbox.

You can also growherbs from seed. Herbsneed a lot of sun to grow,so make sure you plantthem in an area thatreceives at least sixhours of sunlight a day.Basil, sage, parsley,chives and rosemary willdo well both indoors oroutdoors as long as theyhave plenty of sun andprotection from coldweather.

You can begin har-vesting herbs once theplant has enough leavesto maintain growth. Inearly morning right be-fore the dew dries, clipundamaged leaves thathave a nice aroma. Youcan harvest annual herbslike sweet basil, dill andoregano until frost.Chives, mint, parsley androsemary will grow formore than one season ifthey are protected fromharsh cold. However, youshould stop harvestingperennial and biennialherbs in late August, asthe plants will need timeto prepare for the winter.

Some herbs producebeautiful flowers, but if

you plan to cook withherbs in your kitchen,harvest the leaves beforethe plant flowers. Inaddition, you can cut orpinch the flower budsback to prevent bloom-ing. Once the plant flow-ers the leaves begin tolose their aromatic fla-vors.

Once harvested, storefresh herbs in your re-frigerator or preservethem by drying or freez-ing. To keep washedherbs fresh for up to onemonth in the refriger-ator, store them in anairtight container andinclude a folded damppaper towel. For bestresults, chop or minceherbs before cooking.Volatile oils are releasedwhen the leaves arebruised, which providestheir unique flavors.

Heat increases therate at which herbs re-lease their flavors. Fordishes that require long-er cooking times, adddelicate-flavored andground herbs at the end,so their flavor will notescape. Some herbs, suchas bay leaves, benefitfrom longer cookingtimes. Herbs placed in acheesecloth bag allowthe flavors to extractduring cooking, and theireasy removal.

Add herbs severalhours in advance or over-night to uncooked foods,such as salad dressingsor marinades. This willallow the herbs to blendwith the other ingredi-ents. Seasoning yourdishes with herbs willallow you to serve deli-cious, nutritious meals toyour family. Contact ouroffice at 356-3155 formore information ongrowing and cookingwith herbs.

“Guardians of Hopewas formed by a smallgroup of friends in 2014who wanted to help lessfortunate children havea cheerful holiday sea-son,” Wallace said. “Wealso feel if they can as-

sist other charities inreaching their goalsalong the way, so every-one wins. Our missionstatement says it all, ‘Wegive to those that feellike giving up; and givenot because we have toomuch but because weknow what it’s like not tohave.’”

Thefoundation encouragesvoluntary financial sup-port for the library toboth enhance programsand assist with financingspecial projects, he said.

“It’s important thatthe library work withorganizations likeGuardians of Hope be-

cause we have many ofthe same goals in termsof providing the commu-nity with assistance aswell as opportunities forfun,” Oaks said. “We cancertainly accomplishmore by working togeth-er than by doing similarevents separately.”

Question: I have nothad good luck gettingtrees to survive afterplanting them. Any ad-vice?

Answer: Here aresome tree planting tipsto help your successrate.

» Get trees andshrubs planted early inthe spring. March andApril are the idealmonths.

» The planting holeshould be 3-5 times wid-er than the root ball, butno deeper. Plant it onsolid ground, not loos-ened soil.

» The planting holeshould have wide, taper-

ing sides,not verti-cal. Don’tsmooth or“glaze” thesides,whichcould pre-vent out-ward rootgrowth.

» Don’tamend the

backfill soil. Put thesame soil back in thehole as what came out ofit.

» Don’t apply nitro-gen fertilizer the firstyear.

» Don’t choose spe-cies that are not hardy in

Kentucky. We are at thecold end of Zone 6, sodon’t plant Zone 7 orhigher plants.

» Make sure there isno trunk damage, branchcankers or other diseaseproblems on nurserystock you select.

» Avoid plants with asmall root ball or a loosetrunk in the root ball.

» Keep root-ballmoist, but not sitting inwater, during the timebetween purchase andplanting. Also water thetree immediately uponplanting, with a goodsoaking. A slight bermof soil around the plant-ing area will help keep

the water from runningoff.

» Protect leaves ofplants from wind whentransporting in vehiclefrom nursery to homelandscape.

» Avoid low, poorly-drained, or heavily com-pacted planting siteswith heavy clay content,unless plant is known tobe adapted to such con-ditions.

» Don’t plant near adownspout or other wetarea (especially Taxus(yew) bushes!)

» Don’t plant shade-loving trees in full sun,or vice versa.

» After getting thetree positioned in placein the planting hole,remove all wires, twine,string and labels whichcould girdle the trunk,stems or roots later on.After packing soilaround the base of theroot ball, carefully re-move and discard atleast the top third to

one-half of the wire bas-ket and burlap fromaround the root-ball.

» For containerized(potted) plants, sheer offthe outer roots or makeseveral vertical cuts intothe root ball, then “teaseout” the outer rootswhich may have alreadybegun circling aroundthe root ball.

» Try to avoid stakingthe tree, but if neces-sary, use two opposingstakes and a wide strap-like material that willnot cut into the trunk.Remove stakes andstraps within one year.

» Keep turfgrass atleast several feet awayfrom the trunk, and ap-ply 3 inches of organicmulch in as large amulch ring as possible.

» Never let the mulchtouch the trunk of thetree, to avoid bark decayand vole gnawing dam-age.

» Lawnmowers andstring trimmers kill a lot

of trees. Make sure nev-er to knick the bark oftrees. Proper mulchingand wide mulch ringswill help avoid this.

» Avoid improperwatering - little or nowatering, excessivewatering (especiallyproblematic in heavyclay soils), or frequentlight sprinkling. A one-inch trunk caliper treeneeds 10 gallons of waterper week, applied slowlyall at one time. A 2-inchcaliper needs 15 gallons;3-inch: 20 gallons, etc.
