Wewere also proud of ourproduct, our Jeeps arestrong. It gaveeverythingit could give.”

Stomper indeed gaveeverything; in fact, Hut-ton’s beloved Jeep was to-taled. However, once thewordspreadaboutHuttonand his heroic acts withStomper, a movement tosave the Jeep began.

Crocker Off Road Per-formance, a custom Jeep

builder inArizona, agreedto rebuild Stomper. Zim-mer in Florence hasagreed to become a spon-sor for the project and do-nate parts.

“We are happy to helpthe Huttons and help getStomper back on thetrail,” Fogel said.

Hutton was so movedby Zimmer’s gesture, hedecided topurchaseanew2013 Jeep Wrangler Un-limited Sahara for hiswife, Brenda, from theFlorence dealership.Brenda is currently in themilitary serving in Af-

ghanistan.“As longtime sup-

porters of our troops wealso are very grateful forBryan’s wife serving ourcountry and we have nodoubt that it was heart-wrenching for her to be sofar away from Bryan andtheir son during this cri-sis,” Zimmer presidentCathy Zimmer said. “Bry-an, we tip our cap to youfor stepping up and help-ing those in their time ofneed and forsaking yourown needs and concerns.And the fact that yourWrangler Rubicon,Stomper, hung tough asnails just shows what‘Only a Jeep’ reallymeans.”

Zimmer has been sell-ingcarssince1929, locallyfor three generations.Theyhave operated out ofthe same location, 1086Burlington Pike, Flor-ence, for more than 20years.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Four girls tried to blockher way but she pushedback, looking for anychance to get by. Then asmall opening appeared.It was just big enough.She leanedforwardonherroller skates, scrunchedher shoulders together,and squirted through.

People watchingclapped their hands andcheered. But this wasn’tsome case of bullying onthe sidewalk, it was rollerderby. And she’d justscored.

Her name is TiffanyWork. She’s been compet-ing in roller derby for sixyears. She loves it andcalls it “addicting.”

“It has given me a lotmore confidence over theyears,” Work said. “May-be not so much beingtough but being able toreally speak up for my-self.”

On Saturday night,June 22, her team fromNorthern Kentucky, theBlack-n-BluegrassRoller-girls, battled the Cincin-natiRollergirls. TheBankof Kentucky Center atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity was filled withscreaming fans.

All the roller girls onthe team have a “skatename.” Work’s is Petal tothe Metal. “Petal with a

“t,” like a flower petal, be-cause I’m a florist,” shesaid. “So I’m a fast flo-rist.” She has to be fast,she’s a jammer.

“You have two jam-mers, one for each team.And you have four block-ers from each team. Sothereare10girls out thereall at once,” she ex-plained. “The jammersare trying to get throughall the blockers.”

A team’s blockers willtry to help their jammeradvance while the otherswill try to keep her backand, if possible, knock herdown. “So you’re playing

offense anddefense at thesame time,” she con-tinued. “After you makethrough once, you startscoring. Every time youpass an opposing blockeryou get a point.”

To join the team, a be-ginner needs to attend a

“boot camp” to learn thebasic skills. What kind ofskills?

“Being able to skatebackward, being able tostop, whips and pushes,”she answered. “We teachthem how to fall properly.You don’t want to flail allover the place. You wantto be able to get back upreally fast.”

It’s a roughsport.Workonce broke her ankle. It’scommon for the rollers tocome home with bruiseson their body.

Becka Obermeyer,who’s known as Beka Re-kanize, had to make surethat people wouldn’t mis-understandherbruises. “Iwas really up frontwhen Istarted my new job,” shesaid. “I talked to my su-pervisor because I didn’twant them to think thatthere was some kind oftrouble at home.”

DavePowellwasoneofthe louder fans in thecrowd. “It’s an amazingsport to watch. It’s fast,

it’s athletic,” he said.Emily Matthews was

there to cheer on one ofher friends. “It’s great tosee women come togeth-er,” she pointed out.

Powell agreed. “It’s su-per empowering forwom-en.”

There are about 35women in The Black-n-Bluegrass Rollergirls. Toparticipate in an adultleague,a“girl”has tobeatleast 18 years old, butthere is no upper limit.“Last year we had a girlthat retired at 53,” Worksaid.

Frances Hoetker,known as Edel Vice,joined the team just lastDecember. “I saw a gamein Chicago and I didn’trealize the sport still ex-isted. I thought ‘I have todo this’,” recalled the re-cent college graduate. “Iabsolutely love this sport.I can see myself playinguntil I’mbrokenand inmy40s.”

FLORENCE—The greenflag waved and shezoomed off. Dartingaround traffic cones, sheplayedwiththegasandthebrake as her body waspushed against the seat,then thedoor, then the seatbelts.

When it was over, herhands were shaking butshe loved it. “It’s such anadrenaline rush, so excit-ing,” Deana Kraft shared.

On Sunday, June 30, 60amateur drivers from theTristate raced the clock ona course laid out in theparking lot of TurfwayPark in Florence. Knownas a Solo Competition, theevent was organized by

the Cincinnati Region ofthe Sports Car Club ofAmerica.

“You can be in a bonestock car all the way to awell-preppedcar,”GordonMaciulewicz explained.And you don’t need tobring a pit crew.

“It’s a form of racingthat can suit almost any-body’s budget,” KevinCoyne added.

Both Maciulewicz andCoyne have been racingfor more than five years.

Tom O’Gorman startedwhen he was 15. “I drovewithmydad in the passen-ger seat to make sure thatit was legal,” he recalled.

Now 21, he’s learnedwhat it takes to go fast.“There are two kinds ofdrivers,” he explained.“Those that have naturalability and those that havethe knowledge to get themost out of the car. Thegreatest drivers are theones that mix that togeth-er.”

Scott Montgomery

started just two monthsago. “You’re not worriedabout going off the road orhitting anything,” he said.“It’s thesafest formofrac-ing you can find.”

He shared some tips. “Ijust try to keep the wheelsteady. Try not to slide toomuch. Stay on the gas foras long as possible. Brakeat the very last second.”

The next Solo event isJuly 14 at Turfway Park.“People out here are al-ways really nice and help-ful,” Kraft said. “Youmake good friends.”

One-on-One builds reading skillsNancy Costello believes 35

minutes a week can changesomeone’s life.

As the One-to-One ReadingInitiative coordinator for theNorthern Kentucky EducationCouncil, shematches strugglingelementary school readersacross five counties with teenand adult mentors who simplyspend time reading together ev-eryweek.

She said the One-to-One pro-gram started in 2008 with 30reading coaches but now it en-compasses 400 volunteers in 35

schools in Boone, Campbell,Grant, Kenton and Pendletoncounties.

“Ourvolunteersareaverydi-verse group,” Costello said.“Our reading coaches rangefrom community volunteersfromlocalbusinesses toparentsof young children to retirees.”

She said high school studentscoach readers in some schools,to help meet the need for volun-teers.

Costello is actively seekingmore volunteers for the pro-gram.

Coaches are required to com-plete six hours of training,which is held at locations

throughout NorthernKentucky.Training dates, times and loca-tions will be listed on the web-site, www.nkyec.org, by July15.

Background checks are re-quired for each volunteer.

Volunteers can also registeronline, or call Costello at 859-282-9214 formore information.

The whole program is builtaround the idea that onementorwill read one-on-one with onestudent once a week for the en-tire school year.

“It’s not only working on im-proving reading skills, but alsodeveloping that mentor rela-tionship, a positive relationship.The coach can encourage confi-

dence in reading as well as animprovement in reading skills,”said Costello.

She said theprogramhashadamazing results.

Based on reading scores col-lected throughout the year, 89

percent of the program’s stu-dents have shown continuousprogress in reading, saidCostel-lo.

She also hears from teachersand administrators about theprogram’s qualitative results.

“They say students improvetheir confidence and start read-ingmoreinclass.They’reenjoy-ing readingmore, and theyhavethe excitement of a positive rolemodel in their lives,” Costellosaid. “They have a desire tocome to school and participateand see the value of reading.”

The School House Sym-phony recently shared Amer-ica’s music heritage, begin-ning from the arrival of theMayflower through the1900s, with fifth-grade stu-dents at Florence Elemen-tary School.

The Mayflower was verylimited on space and did notallow room for luxury itemssuch as musical instrumentson board. But that didn’t stop

the Pilgrims’ love for music.Some of the first musical in-struments in America wereintroduced by the NativeAmericans. They played rat-tles, drums and flutes to ac-company songs they sang intheir ceremonies.

The ensemble of six musi-cians educated the studentson the instruments, includingpercussion, brass, string andwoodwind, and performed amedley of songs.

The group continued their

journey in history touchingon the music of the Civil Warperiod, such as “Dixieland”and “The Yellow Rose of Tex-as.” They pointed out the sim-ilar likes of the kids of yester-day and the kids of today.Mu-sic was spread across Amer-ica by touring bands like thefamous John Philip Sousa’sBand playing “Stars andStripes Forever” and the ra-dio. The program ended byplaying more familiar musicsuch as ragtime and jazz.

FLORENCE — The FlorenceFreedom are making theirmark on baseball, at the inde-pendent and professional lev-els.

TheFreedomheadintotheirfinal week before the All-Starbreak just one game back offirst place in the FrontierLeague’s East Division. FourFreedom players were namedto the All-Star team, twice asmanyAll-Stars as the Freedomhad last season.

Florence has five games toplay before the All-Star break,staring with a home game onWednesday,July10,andinclud-ing a home doubleheader onThursday, July 11. ShortstopJunior Arrojo is headed to hissecond straight All-Star gameand will be joined by team-mates Byron Wiley (designat-ed hitter), Michael Oros (start-ingpitcher), andJorgeMarban(relief pitcher). The All-Stargame takes place on July 17 inWashington, Pa.

Oros leads the leaguewith a1.33 earned run average. Firstbaseman Jeremy Hamilton, alocal product from PrincetonHigh School in Cincinnati, issecond in the leaguewitha .330batting average. Oros, Hamil-ton, andWileyare eachplayingtheir first year for the Free-dom.

After losing a doubleheaderon Sunday, July 7, the Freedomfell to 26-19 on the season. Lastyear, the franchise made itsfirst appearance in the Fron-tier League championship se-ries, falling just short of achampionship.

“We’re in a good position,butwe’vebeena littlebit incon-

sistent in the first half,” saidmanager Fran Riordan. “I likeour ballclub a lot.”

As with any independentbaseball league, high rosterturnoverisexpectedaftereachseason.Arrojo, inhis thirdyearwith Florence, and Marban, inhis second year, provide veter-an leadership. Riordan is man-aging the Freedom for the sec-ond-straight season, providingstabilityforateamthatshowedmuch potential a year ago.

“Juniorsetsthetoneforwhowe are as a team,” said Rior-dan. “He knows the way I liketo see the game played andleads by example.”

Unlike the veteran Arrojo,Wiley and Hamilton did notplay any organized baseballlast year. After not seeing livepitching last year, both areamong the league leaders inseveral batting categories thisseason.

“Whenyouhaveayearoff, itcangotwoways,”saidRiordan,who played five years in theFrontier League before he be-gan coaching. “If you workhard and you have that passionand desire, you can come backhungry.”

The Freedom are findingsuccess in the Frontier Leagueand in Major League Baseball.Steve Delabar, who pitchedfour games for the Freedom in2008, isoneoffiveplayerscom-peting for the final AmericanLeague All-Star fan vote. TheFreedomarefullybehindDela-bar’s campaign.

“It is something pretty spe-cial,” said Riordan. “Ourwholeorganization is taking the finalvote very seriously. Eventhough he only played here fora short time, it means a lot toeveryone in the Florence Free-dom organization.”

Freedom baseballmakes its mark

Team 1 game backfrom 1st place

Clint Brown, owner of the Florence Freedom baseball team, hassigned a 10-year stadium rights deal with UC Health. PATRICKREDDY/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

BOONE COUNTY—Players onthe Dedden Dozers Knotholebaseball team have grown uptogether, and for the most part,have grown up at the samepace.

That pace has been behindthat of most of their peers, andwaiting for that always antici-pated growth spurt has forcedthe youth baseball team to relyon fundamentals in recentyears.

Now that the Dozers arereaching new heights, they arereaping the benefits as they en-tered the Knothole city tourna-ment July 8.

“Our kids were always lit-tle,” said head coach Steve El-more. “It seemed like everyteam had hit puberty before us.The only way we could stopthem was to play defense. Wecouldn’t out-hit them or out-pitch them, but we could fieldtheball andgetgroundouts.Thedefense came out of necessity.

Nowthat they’veall hit puberty,they’re the total package.”

The Dozers are one of sevenBoone County teams who ad-vanced to the finals of the Divi-sion 1 tournament, which pitsNorthern Kentucky’s bestagainst those from across theriver in Ohio. The tourneychanged formats this year. In-stead of only the regional cham-pion in each class playing in afour-team bracket, four teamsfrom each region make up a 16-team bracket, seeded by howthey finish in the region.

TheDozers, in the oldest agegroup (Class A), are undefeatedthis year in regular Knotholeplay and the only Boone Countyteam to win the regional cham-pionship. The Dozers scored184 runs and allowed 19.

All but one of the players at-tended Camp Ernst MiddleSchool together, and the major-ity of the Dozers now go toBoone County High School. Sixof the 13 kids live in the samesubdivision.

“All our kids and all our par-ents hang out together,” Elmoresaid. “The kids go to school to-gether. There has never been alot of drama. They have great

fun together. I’ve seen teamswith a ton of talent but the kidscan’t play well together andthese kids play well together.”

Players are Ethan Elmore,Jacob Domaschko, Tyler Iava-sile, Scottie Saylor,DominicCo-mo,NathanRogers, Cody Flick-inger, Conner Bruck, AndySchlichting, Hunter Eikhoff,Tjaden Nyman, Logan Feltnerand Dylan Bryant. Assistantcoaches are Dave Iavasile, Ja-mie Domaschko and Pat Flick-inger.

The Dedden in the teamname is for Matt Dedden, aBoone County commissionerwhose excavation business sup-plies the second word in thename. Dedden has sponsoredthe Dozers from day one in T-ball even though his son left thesport years ago.

“Matt and I are really goodfriends,” Elmore said. “Ourkids are the same age and ourdaughters are both going toNKU. We’ve been lucky and weowe him a lot. He’s spent a lot ofmoneyonusover theyears, uni-forms and everything.”

Newport Central Catholic’sColin DuPont, who was the win-ner for the Campbell County/Community Recorder, said “itwas a good time.”

Highlands High School’sLuke Turner and Jesse Daley -winners in the Ft. Thomas Re-corder newspaper - had the ex-act same reaction: “It was awe-some!”

For those winners who wereunabletoattendtheJuly2game,there is still hope that they willsee something special later thissummer. The pressure is on theRedsstartingpitcheronAug.25.

JULY 11, 2013 • FLORENCE RECORDER • A9

Guiding a common agenda for N. Ky.Vision 2015 was launched eight

years ago with a charge to implement abold, strategic plan for Northern Ken-tucky. The organization’s most innova-tive and important work is highlightedin the recently released Vision 2015Annual Report to the Community.

Vision 2015 was created as a sharedpublic plan that represents the region’spriorities. Six focus areas emerged:Economic competitiveness; education-al excellence; livable communities;urban renaissance; regional steward-ship; and effective governance. The2013 community report details achieve-ments in each focus area, including theopening of the Licking River Green-way and Trails, the first class of Up-Tech graduates, and The CatalyticDevelopment Funding Corp. of North-ern Kentucky reaching its goal of rais-ing $10 million for the development ofmarket race housing and commercialprojects in the region’s urban core.

Northern Kentucky is a region rec-ognized for its ability to work togetherto get things done, a concept known as

“collective impact.”Vision 2015’s annualreport focuses on thefive pillars of the col-lective impact model:Common agenda; mea-suring results consis-tently; mutually rein-forcing activities; con-tinuous communica-tion; and backbonesupport organization.

Using these fivepillars and working with community,business, government, education andother leaders from both sides of theOhio River, Vision 2015 helps establishand guide a common agenda for North-ern Kentucky.

In 2012, Vision 2015 partnered withAgenda 360 – Southwest Ohio’s region-al action plan for job growth, talentacquisition and economic opportunity –on a number of initiatives, includingThe Story Project. We introduced TheStory Project to create a common nar-rative for the region. It is a project that

uncovers our region’s DNA andthrough powerful storytelling identi-fies what sets us apart from competingregions.

In the spirit of the collective impactmodel, Vision 2015 consistently mea-sures results using clear, objectivedata. Vision 2015’s Regional IndicatorsReport expanded this year to includeThe 2020 Jobs Outlook and Diverse byDesign: Meeting the Talent Challengein a Global Economy. These reportscompare data across 11metropolitanregions we compete with for jobs andtalent.

Vision 2015 found success in linkingorganizations with mutually reinforc-ing missions, including Green Umbrel-la and the Northern Kentucky Educa-tion Council (NKYEC). Green Umbrel-la aligns the missions of its 280 mem-bers to help our region become one ofthe top-10 most sustainable communi-ties in the country by 2020. Vision2015’s annual report highlights thelaunch of an NKYEC toolkit that as-sists businesses in engaging students.

At its core, Vision 2015 is a backbonesupport organization. No complex re-gion can accomplish its goals without acentral organization staying on missionand measuring progress. Vision 2015does more than support the region’sdevelopment; it catalyzes its progresswith a call to action to enact changeand improve Northern Kentucky byand beyond 2015.

Be responsible,compassionate for innocentpets

I have to applaud the boldness ofDave Gilbert in his address to theperson that cruelly dumped a dog inthe Burlington area. We all musthave compassion.

Perhaps some people still opt foran animal’s chance of survival inthe wild, rather than a 50/50 chanceof being put to sleep in a shelter. Iwould love to see all animal shel-ters become “no kill” shelters, espe-cially in Boone County.

But it is an ignorant and cruelperson that causes the suffering ofan animal “in the wild,” opposed tothe chance of finding a home or atleast being mercifully put to sleep.

If you let a pet loose, don’t foolyourself. Most such pets starve, orget hit by a car, or get sick and die.I travel regularly, and on almostevery long trip, I see a dog or dogs,obviously abandoned out by thehighways, filthy, lost, and afraid. Iwish I could save them all. I can’t.

But we all can help by makingsure we take full responsibility indoing the right thing for each cutelittle puppy or kitten we wish tobring home. Think about the lifeexpectancy of that pet.

Can you really afford that timeand money? If you find yourself ina real bind later on, make sure youresponsibly find another home forthat innocent little creature. Edu-cate your friends and family tolikewise be responsible and com-passionate.

River-Sweep Cleanup was asuccess

Boone County Public Works andthe Solid Waste Management De-partment would like to say “ThankYou” to all the workers who volun-teered their time and services dur-ing the annual River-Sweep on Sat-urday, June 15.

This is a one-day shoreline clean-up that extends the entire length ofthe Ohio River (Illinois, Indiana,Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,Kentucky).

Volunteers came from publicorganizations, civic groups, and thegeneral public. There were sixcleanup sites throughout BooneCounty this year: Rabbit Hash Gen-eral Store, Boone’s Landing(Union), Petersburg, Giles-ConradPark (Hebron), Second Street Belle-view (next to Kelly Elementary

School) and the Duke Energy em-ployees at the East Bend PowerPlant.

A big thank you to OSANCO –Ohio River Valley Water SanitationCommission – for organizing andsponsoring the Ohio River-Sweepcleanup since 1989. Though theriver waters were high and trashwas hard to reach, we collected alot of garbage. Without everyone’sparticipation this would not havebeen another successful event. It isa blessing to know there are manydedicated hard workers out theretrying to keep our rivers clean.

A special thank you sent to Em-erson’s Bakery for once again do-nating yummy donuts and bagels,and the Rabbit Hash General Storefor provided hot coffee to energizeus. Also, Remke’s (Hebron) and theBoone Docks (Union), for makingdelicious hot lunches for all ourhard workers.

We had awesome companies sendvolunteers to help clean up the riv-er. Thank you to Toyota, Duke (EastBend Power Station) and Cummins.

Last, but certainly not least, weare sending out an appreciativethank you to those who have donat-ed prizes for our volunteers: LocalRadio Q105, B105, Rewind94.9,Shankman and Associates, BooneAuto Salvage, the Rabbit HashStore and ORSANCO for providingthe T-shirts.

Alcohol-related trash aconcern

A couple days ago a couple offriends and I helped my dad withTrash For Cash. It amazed me howmuch trash there was on the roadswe cleaned. The trash we found themost was alcohol cans and bottles.Some of the other things we foundwere candy wrappers, food contain-ers and assorted soda cans.

As a teenager I never realizedhow inconsiderate people were andhow much it affected the environ-ment to throw trash out of the car.Finding these alcoholic drinks onthe roads means people are drink-ing and driving and that is a scarythought. The drivers in this countyshould realize the danger of drink-ing and driving and be more re-sponsible.

Other than finding all the alco-hol, we were glad to help the countyclean up the streets

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

You probably think this doesn’t ap-ply to you. Wrong. Even if you neverenter an airport your hard earned dol-lars are paying big salaries and big

benefits to thousandsof federal TSA workers- right now.

Howmany times ayear do you fly on anairplane? Millions ofAmericans have never

flown on a commercial plane and mil-lions more have only flown a couple oftimes. Statistics of who have and havenot flown vary.

Fifty million people in the UnitedStates are living in poverty and on foodstamps. Are these people jet settingaround the country? Another one hun-dred million people in the United Statesare still earning about $40,000 or lesseach year. Do you think these individ-uals have lots of plane cash stashedaside? They do not. Consider the mil-lions who seldom take a vacation andprefer to drive when they do and youstart seeing a smaller number of fre-quent air travelers. Howmany peoplefly each year in the United States?

Air travel: About 42 percent of U.S.adults reported traveling by air forleisure trips taken between August2008 and July 2009. The percentage ofair travelers increases to 48 percentamong U.S. adults who traveled forbusiness purposes in the past year.(Source: travelhorizonsTM, July 2009)

Air travel hassles: A June 2008study by the U.S. Travel Associationrevealed a deep frustration among airtravelers that caused them to avoid anestimated 41million trips over the past12 months at a cost of more than $26billion to the U.S. economy.

Air travelers expressed little opti-mism for positive change, with nearly50 percent saying that the air travelsystem is not likely to improve in thenear future. The effect of avoided tripscost airlines more than $9 billion inrevenue; hotels nearly $6 billion andrestaurants more than $3 billion. Feder-al, state and local governments lostmore than $4 billion in tax revenuebecause of reduced spending by trav-elers. (Source: Air Travel Survey, 2008)Check USTravel.org for more statistics.

So let’s say 165 million Americansare flying occasionally while the other165 million are driving or taking othertransportation. Why should half of thecountry who never fly be paying forsomething they never use? Plus, thepayment is big.

The TSA federal budget is over $7.6billion. This is in comparison to a $3.2billion green energy budget. The aver-age paycheck for the 3,900 employeesat the Washington, D.C., office is$103,852 while one executive made over$5 million for nine months of work.Employees have grown from16,500 toover 65,000 employees. Like most gov-ernment entities it continues to growand devour more of your paycheck.

Airlines utilizing private contractorsshould provide and pay the bill forthose who watch the scanners andcheck the bags. The people flyingshould pay the costs. Airplane ticketsare high enough. I fly occasionally. Ireally don’t want to pay more. Howev-er, it’s not fair for those who never flyto bear the cost. Government involve-ment means more burdens for moretaxes on average America that is al-ready stressed to the max on payingtaxes.

Further, the TSA is going too far inharassing people at the airports ofAmerica. Elderly people, little childrenand women are being violated and ha-rassed every day in our country. Whatseemed like a good idea after 911 hasbecome extreme. I understand why theTSA came into existence but like thePatriot Act it needs some edits andcompromises. Persons now have topractically undress and are subjectedto some stranger patting them down.This is a violation of our civil liberties.

I am not opposed to scanners thatdetect metal objects, people emptyingtheir pockets and bag checks. However,subjecting people to pat downs andinvasive x-rays have to be eliminated.

Every pilot or copilot should be al-lowed to carry a gun. We now havecabin doors that protect the cockpitcrew from an intruder. These cabindoors are vital to our flight securityand cost thousands of dollars. Everyplane should have a U.S. Marshal ordesignated plain-clothed security guardon board.

I agree that every airport shouldhave the presence of the proper au-thorities necessary to take someone tojail if necessary. Anyone posing athreat should be detained and escortedto jail.

I am a believer in transportationsecurity but we must overhaul the roleof the Transportation Security Admini-stration and who pays for it.

At the rate readers aresharing recipes, I shouldbe able to share one injust about every column.

I met JackieMessers-mith, an Anderson Town-ship reader, and her fam-ily when we were leavingFour SeasonsMarina. Welunched there and wereready to jump in our boatto go back homewhenJackie introduced herself.While the husbandstalked about boats, Jackieand I talked about food.She is sharing her fam-ily’s favorite brunch reci-pe.

“My AuntWilmamadethis for breakfast when-ever we came to visit. Mykids love it and wish I’dmake it more often thanspecial occasions,” shetold me.

Betty’s specialbreakfast eggs viaJackie Messersmith

3 tablespoons sour cream,regular or low fat

2 tablespoons yellowmustard

Sauté until softin 2 tablespoonsbutter:1⁄2 cup diced bellpepper

1⁄3 cup diced onion

Add and cookuntil bubbly:

1 can cream of mushroomsoup (Jackie uses low-fat)

1 cup sour cream

Topping:1⁄2 cup shreddedmildcheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Cover eggs withsoupmixture and sprin-kle with cheese. Bake 20minutes. Betty likes toserve this on top of toast-ed EnglishMuffins, withfresh fruit and crisp ba-con as sides.

Healthy berry fruitgelatin snacks

My best friend andIndiana reader, CarolSpry Vanover, is alwayson the lookout for healthyrecipes. “Check this out,”she said. This is a col-orful, protein- and antioxi-dant-packed berry treat.Granddaughter Emerson,who just celebrated herfirst birthday, “helped”me pick raspberries fromour patch. She broke intoa big smile with all threeteeth showing when Igave her a bite of the fruitsnack. That’s equal to twothumbs up! Adults likethese, too. Use any combi-nation of berries you like.Here’s my adaptation.

1heaping cup fresh

raspberries or otherberries or 1 cup frozen

21⁄4 cups natural apple juice,chilled (I used frozen, nosugar-added concentratein equal parts concentrateand water)

2 packets unflavored gelatin(1 tablespoon plus 2teaspoons)

Honey/sweetener totaste, optional (Ididn’t use any)

Cook berries and11⁄2 cups juice at agentle boil untilberries soften.Puree in blender.Sprinkle gelatinover rest of cold

juice, give it a stir and letstand aminute or so untilgelatin absorbs the water.Add this to blender mix-ture and blend until gela-tin dissolves. Add sweet-ener if desired. Line an8-inch by 8-inch pan withclear wrap, overlappingsides. Pourmixture in.Put in refrigerator untilfirm. Turn pan over, re-move plastic and cut intosquares. Store in refriger-ator.

Tip: Brush pan withwater before lining withwrap. Wrap will stickeasily.

Asian grilled flanksteak

Sometimes I cravefoods with Asian flavors

and this steak is my new-est favorite. It takes justminutes on the grill and isgood with a side of broc-coli and steamed, but-tered potatoes.1⁄2 cup Tamari soy sauce (seetip)

3 tablespoons packedbrown sugar

2 tablespoons grated freshginger root

2 nice cloves garlic, minced1 tablespoon roastedsesame oil

Several dashes pepper11⁄2 pounds flank steak

Mix sauce, sugar, gin-ger, garlic, oil and peppertogether in a large zipperstorage bag. Add steak,

seal bag and turn to coat.Lay bag on its side andpress out all the air. Thishelps themarinade clingto the steak. Marinate in

refrigerator up to a day.Remove steak and re-servemarinade. Grill,turning once, about 15minutes or so for medium

rare. Let rest 5 minutes.Meanwhile, bring re-servedmarinade to a boiland boil 1minute. Slicesteak thinly against grainand serve with marinade.

Tip: Tamari is a strong-er tasting soy sauce andcan be gluten free. Youcan use your favorite soysauce. Regarding “light”soy sauce, read labels assome “light” sauces con-tain more sodium thanyoumay want.

Although the Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention recommends

routine HIV screeningsfor most patients, justthree in 10 (32 percent)Kentucky adults ages 18-64 report that their medi-cal provider has discuss-edHIV testingwith them.

The Kentucky HealthIssues Poll also revealsthat providers are morelikely to discuss HIV test-ing with younger, lower-income, and African-American adults.

Other KHIP highlightsinclude:

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

Four in 10 (41 percent)African-American re-spondents said a medicalprovider has discussedHIV testing with themcompared to three in 10(30 percent) white Ken-tucky adults.

Less than one in four(23 percent) adults be-tween the ages of 46 and64 reported their medicalprovider ever discussingHIV testing. The rate isconsiderably higher (42percent) for youngeradults, ages 18 to 29.

It’s estimated that4,500Kentuckians are liv-ing with HIV infection.National statistics indi-cate about one in five peo-ple are HIV positive donot know they are infect-ed.

The KHIP was fundedby the Foundation for aHealthy Kentucky andthe Health Foundation ofGreater Cincinnati. Thepoll was conducted fromSept. 20 through Oct. 14,2012, by the Institute forPolicy Research at theUniversity of Cincinnati.

There aremany skills weneed to succeed in life. Man-agingmeal preparation is animportant skill that will serveus well into our golden years.Summermay be a prime timeto have some fun in the kitch-en while helping the childrenin your life learn.

At a very young age chil-dren can contribute to themeal. They can count the dish-ware needed for themeal. Or,give them a chance tomea-sure ingredients for a recipe.Help them identify the colorsand shapes of the foods beingprepared. Yes, it may take abit longer for the task to becompleted, but in the lateryears you’ll appreciate thetime spent.

As children age let them dobasicmeal preparation andplanning. Help them knowwhat a well-balancedmeal isthen let them plan themenuone night a week ormonth.Youmay have to eat some ofthe same foods over and over,

but when yourchildren areliving on theirown you’ll resta little easierknowing theyknow how to fixtheir ownmeals. Encour-age your chil-dren to includefruits and veg-etables in their

meal plans. Also, encouragethem to try new recipes andfoods.

Help your children knowhow to use and clean the appli-ances in your kitchen. Takethe time to teach them safetytips to avoid burns, fires, andinjuries.

Of course there will bespills andmesses as childrenlearn to cook.Messes canalways be cleaned up. Re-member tomatch the job tothe attention span and skilllevel of the child. Break tasksinto simple steps. Bewilling to

repeat directions so the childwill be successful.

Keep inmind that supervi-sion is neededwhen kids arelearning a new skill. Do notallow young children to usesharp knives or utensils orhandle hot liquids or pans.Also, be sure all hands arewashedwith warm soap andwater often.

As adults we also need toremember that praise andcongratulations are always inorder as the kids in our livestackle new skills. We also haveto remember that teachingour children to clean up afterthemselves is just as impor-tant as teaching them to cook.

Gather the kids, grab arecipe and enjoy spendingsome time together whilepreparing something every-one will enjoy sampling.

Question: What is thebest recipe formakingmy own solution of hum-mingbird nectar, and howcan I stop the bees from

gettingintomyhumming-bird feed-er?

An-swer:Commer-cial hum-mingbirdfoodmixesoften costmore thanhomemade

sugar-water solutions,andmany of them alsocontain preservativesthatmight harm thebirds.

Here is how tomakeyour own:Mix up a solu-tion of about four partswater to one part sugar.This is the best ratio,because it is about theaverage amount of su-crose produced in typicalflowers that attract hum-mingbirds. Do notmakethe solution any stronger,or it begins to attractbutterflies and bees in-stead, sincemost flowerspollinated by butterfliesand bees have an averagenectar content of 42 per-cent.

Boil the water andsugar for twominutes.Boiling it for this length

of time slows fermenta-tion, which is bad for thebirds. Do notmicrowavethe solution, becausemicrowaving causes abreakdown in the sugarmolecule that can changethe nutritional value. Coolthemixture and refriger-ate. If you continue tohave a problemwith beesat the feeder, reduce theamount of sugar (or addmorewater) to create a5-to-1 ratio. The birds willstill use it, but bees prob-ably will not.

Do not add red dye.Some information sug-gests that red dye canactually harm the birds.

Most commercial feedershave sufficient red toattract the birds. Neveradd honey to themixture.It will createmold andfungal disease problems.

Active feeders will beemptied in a hurry. If youdo not get any activity ata feeder for several days,take the feeder down,empty the solution, andreplace it with fresh sug-ar water. Everyweek orso feeders, even activefeeders, should be takendown and cleanedwith amild soap detergent,rinsedwith bleach, andthen rinsed thoroughlywith water.

There is great debateabout when to take ahummingbird feederdown. Some people saythe birds will notmigrateif feed is still available,which is not true. Youshould leave your feederup as long as the birds arecoming to it. Migranthummers normally showup by late July andwillcontinue passing throughuntil October or evenlater.

While feeding is thebestmethod of bringingthe birds into your yard,you can also providenatural sources of nectarby planting certain flow-ers and shrubs, such asbuckeyes, summersweetClethra, rosemallow

Hibiscus, Carolina silver-bell, rhododendrons,weigela, trumpet creeper,passionflower, floweringtobacco, red Salvia, dian-thus, zinnia,Mexicansunflower (Tithonia),snapdragon, Heuchera,copper or red iris, firepinks, columbine, phlox,beardtongue,Monardabee balm, obedient plant,cardinal flower, monkey

flower, foxglove andgayfeather (blazingstar).
