INDEPENDENCE — At SimonKenton, the12daysofChristmasgiving don’t include partridges,pear trees or pipers piping.

The gifts are a little morepractical because they’re beingcollected for the high school’sYouth Service Center, whichhelps needy students with sup-plies, counseling and job place-ment.

Itemsfor theschool’s12DaysofGiving,betweenDec.2and17,included school supplies,scarves and gloves, and hygieneproducts.

Student Council PresidentMaria Fuson tweeted a pictureof the list, which got retweetedand posted on Instagram to helpstudents remember what tobring on which days.

“There were a good amountof kids tweeting, and it made iteasy towork together,” she said.

“The thing that makes memost proud is that these are ourstudents helping our students,”said Principal Martha Setters.“It’s very heartwarming. It’sgood to know they have goodcharacter.”

In the past, students at theKenton County School District’slargesthighschoolhaveheldtoydrives or adopted families dur-ing the holidays.

The documentary film “LastCall at the Oasis” about the im-pending risk of water shortagebecame the inspiration for a re-cent cooking class at the BooneCounty Cooperative ExtensionService.

“Althoughtherearewater is-sues in other parts of theworld,this documentarybrought adif-ferent perspective because it’stalking about America,” ex-plained Diane Mason of the

Boone County Extension Ser-vice.

At least 36 states expectedlocal, regional or statewide wa-ter shortages thisyear, evenun-der non-drought conditions, ac-cording to the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency.

Mary Ann Wolfe of Burling-ton recommended the docu-mentary for the class. “I haveconserved allmy life,” she said.“I collectwater off the roof, andthat’s what I use in my house.”

Spreading their giv-ing over 12 days “madethingsmoremanageablefor students,” saidLeann Lewis, studentcouncil sponsor. “Kidswere able to help justonedayor a couple days,and we still collected alot of things for those inneed.”

Lewis said snow daysdidn’t even disrupt theirdonations,which isespe-cially good because thecollected items are des-perately needed.

“Every year has got-ten a little more diffi-cult,” said MelissaCross, Simon Kenton’sYouth Service Centercoordinator. “I think thatmore people are awareof the Youth ServiceCenter now, but we stillhave people saying they

don’t know we’re here,although now studentsneedusmore thanever.”

Cross said the num-ber of students gettingfree and reduced lunchhas grown during thepast seven years she’sbeen at the Youth Ser-vice Center.

“When I started, freeand reduced lunch num-bers were at 20 percent,which is theminimum toget the grant,” she said.“Now, it’s 32 percent, soit’s gone upmore than10percent since I’ve beenhere.”

That means morethan 500 of Simon Ken-ton’s 1,700 students relyon the center’s re-sources.

“We can accept dona-tions any time,” saidCross. “We can alwaysuse hygiene productsand school supplies.”

“The best part of thisprogram is listening tothe participants’ in-sights,” Wolfe said, “be-cause many of them haveactually lived in the coun-tries.”

“Is it a book club or a

What does a documen-tary film have to do withcooking?

The program is called“Cooking theBooks.” Par-ticipants read a book orwatch a film before com-ing to the class to preparefoods inspired by whatthey’ve read or watched.The monthly programusually focuses on cul-tures on different coun-tries, but it’s also open tobring in other issues.

“I call it ‘buildingcooking club? It’s both,”Brenda Hilger of Flor-ence said laughing. “It’san international cookingexperience. Some peoplehave never traveled out-side of Boone County, andthis provides them a glob-al experience.”

“I don’t think you’reever tooold to learn,” add-ed Mary Jo Moore of Ft.Wright. “I’ve eaten thingsthat I would’ve nevertouched before.”

“Today’s focus iswaterissues, so I tried to comeup with a menu that in-volved foods that don’t

take quite as much waterto grow as other foods,”Mason said. The recipesincluded lentil soup, sal-ad, baked apple crisp, andfried green tomatoes.

The tomatoes camefrom the garden of CarolAnn Morrow of Union.Shedidn’t like fried greentomatoes before comingto the class. “But now weknow how to preparethem,” she said with asmile.

After cooking, the par-ticipants enjoyed the foodthey’d prepared whilehaving a discussion onwater issues.

“Myhusbandputadripirrigation system in thegarden, with a timer onit,” Morrow said. “Whenyouwater tomatoes at thebottom it saves water. It’smore efficient.”

Anyone interested canregister atwww.ca.uky.edu/boone.There is no fee.

“It’s a wonderful mixof people and the experi-ences of people who liketo read,”Hilger said. “Noteverybody likes to try allthis new food, but theycome anyway.”

COLLEGE CORNER

This school year, Covington LatinSchool has kicked off, with great suc-cess, a house system.

With 14 houses total, each house ismade up of several students from eachgrade. Relationships among students indifferent grades are established as wellas relationships among students withintheir own class.

“The houses allow us to have a morefamily-like atmosphere here at LatinSchool,” saidMoWoltering, headmaster.“Studentsareable toformfriendsacrossthe grade levels and keep these friendsover their years here.”

Originally a concept implemented byboarding schools to bring a sense ofhome away from home, the house sys-tem is a way to strengthen the bonds ofthe school community. The houses alsoprovide an opportunity for older stu-dents to mentor younger students andensure that every student is included inseveral school activities. Eachhouse hasone to two facultymoderators that over-see the students’ creative endeavors,helping them turn their ideas into actionand fostering camaraderie.

“It’s a great opportunity for students

to get to knoweach other. It’s really awe-some even as a senior to get to know thePreps and Freshmen,” said freshmanMindy Reutter.

At the beginning of the year, mem-bers of the houses each chose a saint astheir namesake which will be the givensaint name of the house in the years tocome. An aspect of this new approach isthat all students this year are the “inau-gural leaders,”carvingout theaspectsofthe houses for the future students.

“I love that the house system spansthe grade levels. I like walking throughthe halls and recognizingmore than justmy German students. I feel more incor-porated into the CLS community,” saidteachers Mary Jo Sova.

The students in each house had a fooddrive in November to benefit two localCovington charities: Rose Garden Mis-sion and Be Concerned. Canned goodsalong with other non-perishables werecounted toward the total for the houses.Several sisters from Rose Garden Mis-sion joined Covington Latin’s all-schoolMass and spoke about themission of theorganization – helping to encourage thestudents in theirservice to thecommuni-

ty. Pauline Baumann of Be Concernedalso spoke about the courage to hear thecall of thepoor.BeConcernedhelps feed800 families in the Northern Kentuckyarea.

The houses also wrapped up a “pennywar” to benefit the flood victims in Colo-rado. Collecting nearly $500, proceedswent to the Catholic Charities of theArchdiocese of Denver.

INDEPENDENCE — TheCommunity ChristianAcademy Crusadersclosed out the first half ofthe 2013-14 basketballseason Dec. 20 with ansecond half blitz for animpressive victory overthe Oyler Madhattersfrom lower Price Hill inCincinnati, 58-46.

Senior forward DanielHelton won the openingtip for the home standingCrusaders and tipped theball to junior guard TylerTurner, who raced to thehoop for the layup. WithCCA ahead 8-7, Helton

scored six straight tostretch the lead to 14-7before Olyer’s JamiecoHoward hit a spinningdrive and followedwith afree throw to cut into theCrusaders lead.

The first stanza endedtied at 18. The second pe-riod began with Madhat-ter Robert McMurraystealing the ball and driv-ing in for Olyer’s firstlead of the night.

The teams traded bas-kets and the lead for theremainder of the perioduntil Austin Hensleydrove in for a layup be-fore the buzzer and putCCA up 32-30.

At the half Crusaders

coach Ryan Smith madesome defensive changesin an attempt to slowdown the hot shootingHoward.

“We battled throughadversity in the firsthalf,” the coach said,“and made some adjust-ments at the half to shutdown their shooter.”

The adjustments and afired up offense openedthe second half for theCrusaders. Howardopened the quarter byadding to his game lead-ing points total with adrivingbasket to knot thescore at 32, but then Tur-ner tookhis turnat takingover the game. The Cru-

sader guard drove to thebasket three straighttimes for layups. On hisfourth drive, the defensecollapsed on him and hedished a perfect pass toHelton for a layup to runthe lead to 40-32.

AfterHowardscoopedin a shot at the other endof the floor, Heltongrabbed the ball andbroke toward theCrusad-ers basket. The crowdyelled in anticipation andhe did not let them down,slamming home a two-handed dunk. He fol-lowed that with an assistand on the next posses-sion Hensley drained a 3from the corner with 2

seconds remaining on theclock. After 24 minutesof action the Crusadersled 47-34.

Howard opened thefourth with a whirlingdrive then Hensleycountered by faking athree from the cornerand driving the baselinefor 2. Adam Jump sank atrey to give the Crusad-ers their largest lead ofthe evening, 52-36.

Hensley rounded outthe CCA scoring withfour free throws as theCrusaders took the airoutof theball for the finaltwo minutes of the con-test. CCA emptied thebench with less than a

minute to play. Howardand Willie Williams add-ed threes for theMadhat-ters to cut the margin to58-46.

Coach Smith creditedthe second half defensefor slowing down How-ard who finished with 22after burning the nets for16 in the first half. For thevictorious CrusadersTurner led with 17, Hel-ton added14 andHensleytallied 11.

CCA, 9-2 on the season,takes a break for theChristmasholidaybeforereturning next year withfive straight homegames.

A8 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • DECEMBER 26, 2013

Gridlock in Washington,D.C., has often caused the busi-ness community to wonder ifwe could ever see progress onissues that could help our busi-nesses or communities moveforward. Increasing our energyindependence, immigrationreform, and tax reform need tobe in the debate. Unfortunately,we wonder if our federal offi-cials could agree that the sky isblue. There is no willingness tocollaborate to reach meaning-ful solution – just a digging inof heels.

Frankfort, however, is notWashington. As we head intothe 2014 General Assembly andwe have reasons for optimism.

Last year’s General Assem-bly saw lawmakers come to-gether to solve some of themost pressing issues facing

Kentucky’s future. Our schoolsdon’t receive enough funds to

buy textbooksfor students;our roads andbridges aredeterioratingand criticalpublic invest-ments needsare unable tobe met. Morethan $30 billionin unfundedliability to thepublic pension

system limits the state frommeeting many of these obliga-tions. If this were Washington,there would no doubt havebeen a breakdown along politi-cal party lines and no resolu-tions. But Frankfort is notWashington and the General

Assembly worked with Gov.Beshear to make progress onthe pension issue. Although theissue still needs some work, weare much closer than everbefore to a sustainable fix.

What the 2013 General As-sembly showed was that elect-ed officials could come togeth-er to be problem solvers. It’swhat we should all expect.

Seeing this collaborationgives us confidence that Frank-fort will come together again in2014. For our businesses andcommunities in Northern Ken-tucky, the following issuesneed to be addressed:

» The Bridge. We’ve seenunprecedented collaborationbetween governors Beshearand Kasich, and look to ourN.Ky. caucus to work to devel-op a fair financing plan.

Enough talk. The time is now tomove forward for the safety ofour residents, health of ourbusinesses and the region’scompetitiveness.

» Taxmodernization. Toattract new jobs and retainexisting ones, the Common-wealth must put into place atax code that reflects a 21stcentury economy. Many goodrecommendations are on thetable so it’s time to act.

» New revenue throughexpanding gaming. Gaming isalready here. For NorthernKentucky gaming is as close asone mile across the Ohio River.Give people the chance to voteon whether we keep our dollarshere or send them to neigh-boring states to pave theirroads and build their schools.

Being a legislator is hard

work. Unlike Washington, it’s apart-time job. Legislators havefull-time jobs back home withother responsibilities, but givethose up each January to repre-sent us in Frankfort. Leadinginto this session, let’s take aminute to recognize that Frank-fort is not D.C.

In Frankfort, our legislaturehas learned the benefits ofworking together rather thanhave partisan debates that onlyharm constituents. If you see alegislator, thank them for theirservice, and tell them you lookforward to seeing the samelevel of cooperation with moreresults in 2014.

General Assembly shows reasons for optimism

SteveStevensCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

My13-year-old daughterLauren and I rushed to the La

Guardia air-port afterbeing inter-viewed on“Fox andFriends” – our15 minutes(actually 5minutes) offame. Thebook we wrotetogetherabout capital-ism for stu-dents started

as a summer project andended up in commerce on FoxNews – strong proof thatcapitalism lives in America.To boot, it happened at Christ-mas. New York City knowshow to deck the halls.

I admit, I sat next to thegate feeling proud, maybeeven a little smug. However,in my experience God has away of humbling us, some-times when we need it themost. Humility came in theform a burly man with a Rus-sian accent. Dmitriy ap-proached me and announced,“Thank you for doing a bookto teach capitalism. What arepeople doing to America?”

I asked him what he meant.Dmitriy lit up at the invitationto discuss capitalism, explain-ing that his family “fled” theSoviet Union to escape ofgovernment control. He de-scribed government mandat-ed wages and benefits asrobbing the human spirit. Hethen began asking me a seriesof questions.

Dmitriy – What do you sayto people who think capital-ism is all about greed?

Rob – I’m concerned aboutgreed. I’m not sure capitalismworks well when greed is theprimary motivation.

Dmitriy – There aregreedy people in any econom-ic system. I lived in it in theSoviet Union. Greed does notgo away with communism orsocialism, trust me.

Dmitriy – It’s far worsethan that. If you move to so-cialism or communism, thingshappen through a series ofgovernment favors and pay-offs. Graft becomes the cur-rency of commerce, not free-dom and merit.

Dmitriy – There are havesand have nots, far worse thanin America. When it’s allabout who you know, hardwork and education don’tmatter much. Eventually, itends up bringing the countrydown.

Dmitriy – I’m a softwareengineer and executive inNew York. What do you thinkmy co-workers think of me?

Rob - If you’re this vocal, Ibet it’s tough.

Dmitriy – The young work-ers think I’m stupid. I lived inthe world they want and Ithank God every day that weescaped it. I earned threedegrees here and lived theAmerican dream. Yet I’m thestupid one.

What often sets the North-ern Kentucky region apart isour willingness to collaborateto solve common problems.When the region was facedwith an astounding rise in thenumber of people addicted toheroin, we came together onceagain.

The result was the NorthernKentucky Heroin Impact re-sponse group’s plan, “NorthernKentucky’s Collective Re-sponse to the Heroin Epidem-ic,” released in mid-November.

The plan was the product ofmore than a year of work by

the heroinimpact group.We broughttogether ex-perts from lawenforcement,local govern-ment, mentalhealth/sub-stance abuseproviders,health care andthe business

community.The group pulled together

data on the impact of heroinabuse. We saw how drug over-

dose deaths in Kentucky qua-drupled between 1999 and 2013.The estimated economic im-pact of heroin abuse in ourstate is $6 billion each year.Northern Kentucky’s rate ofhepatitis C, a common diseaseamong IV drug users, is twicethat of the state and 24 timesthat of the United States.

Then, we researched solu-tions to the problem. We gath-ered information from acrossthe country, analyzed it andbrought forth recommenda-tions for what we think canwork in Northern Kentucky.

Those strategies are spelledout in the plan, which can bedownloaded athttp://www.drugfreenky.org.

The plan outlines five areasof response. Think of these aspieces of one big pie – all arenecessary to successfully ad-dress heroin abuse in NorthernKentucky.

First, we must reduce sup-ply. Under the leadership of theN.Ky. Drug Strike Force andlocal law enforcement, we needto decrease the availability ofheroin and other drugs on ourstreets.

To reduce the demand forheroin, we need to focus onprevention, treatment andsupport in recovery. We needprograms that promote socialand emotional health. We needto learn how to use prescriptiondrugs wisely, so their usedoesn’t lead to heroin abuse.Wemust expand and improvetreatment options for peoplewho are addicted.

CIVIC INVOLVEMENT

Well it’s official. Christmas2013 has come and gone.

Depending on how yourChristmas went, you are proba-bly feeling one of two ways:“Let’s get this Christmas treedown and out of here.” (Maybeyou already took it down.) Or“Let’s keep this feeling and sea-son going as long aswe can.” (Ifyou’re the one who loves“Christmas in July,” this mightbe you.)

Whatever the case, might Isuggest a word that can inspireand give you hope and directionin the weeks and months tocomenomatterwhat side of thetree you find yourself on?

A few years ago, I heardabout this wonderfully creativeidea to start the New Year. In-stead of (or in addition to) cre-ating a list of resolutions, theidea is to choose a word that de-scribes who you want to be-come; a word that will spur youonto meeting your goals. Somemay naturally think; “winner”“overcomer” or “success.” Allare equally wonderful words,but there is a better one.

A dear friend of mine oncegavemeaChristmas gift.WhenI opened it, there it was, theword that has since trans-

formedme, and I know itwill dothe same for you: BELIEVE.

Believe, Ithought. Whatdo I want to be-lieve for? Iwant to believefor betterhealth, healingand transfor-mations in myfamily. Betteropportunitiesfor my hus-band and posi-tive influences

and relationships for my chil-dren. Iwant tobelieve forpeaceand joy for those that I love.

It really is that simple.What-ever you want to become in theNew Year, you must believe forit. Think about it. Life isn’t real-lygoingto turnaroundforyouifyou don’t really believe that itcan or will.

Believe is such a wonderfulword because it takes “us” outof the equation. It encouragesus to look to the only one whocan really make things happenin our lives.

The word “believe” is morethan doing something, it is astate of being.We are either be-lieversorwearen’t, therereally

is no middle ground.Want to become a believer

this year? Own the word. Takehold of it as if it were your own.And in addition, might I share afew verses to spur you on?

“Believe in the Lord yourGod and you shall be estab-lished; believe his prophets andyou shall prosper.” (2 Chroni-cles 20:20)

“Do not be afraid, only be-lieve.” (Mark 5:36)

“Jesussaid tohim, ‘Ifyoucanbelieve, all things are possibleto him who believes.’” (Mark9:23)

Know this: there is a veryreal connection betweenbeliev-ing for somethingandreceivingit. May God bless you this com-ing yearwith the gift of “believ-ing” for healing, redemption,miracles and transformationsfor you and your loved ones.

If you’re still struggling tobelieve, it’s OK, I’m believingfor you.

Snow didn’t delay Point’s fun eveningThe 43rd annual Joy to the

World benefit of The Point/Arcof Northern Kentucky was un-precedented. Expecting the sec-ond largest crowd ever – in ex-cess of 800 people – the Dec. 6fundraiser at Horseshoe CasinoCincinnati was directly impact-edbyanuninvitedguest.MotherNature pounded the area withsnow and paralyzed local trafficfor hours. Even so, more than400 supporters braved the ele-ments and helped raise morethan $100,000 for people with in-tellectual/ developmental dis-abilities.

Those able to attend enjoyeda holiday evening, which includ-ed welcoming Sinatra songsfromDon Fangman, dinner, andthe auctioning and raffling ofmore than 200 items. ShereePaolello of WLWT-TV newsagain served as master of cere-monies, and was able to keepthings on schedule despite thedelayed arrival of many guestsdue to the snow.

A highlight of the eveningwas the presence of TeddyKremer, theReds’ honorarybat-boy whose story appeared onESPN’s “E:60” show after being

featured in an Enquirer story.After working at Redsfest, Ted-dy was one of the few celebrityauctioneers able to make thateveing. Teddy and Sheree auc-tioned off his limited editionTopps baseball card, given toThe Point by Teddy’s parents,and generated $900.

“While the snow storm pre-vented us from having a fullhouse,” said Judi Gerding, ThePoint’s president. “Thanks to thesupport of our sponsors, guests,and volunteers, The Point wasstill dealt a winning hand.”

I’m going to have to makesure I put makeup on beforegoing out to the grocery orretail store. The past couple oftimes I was at these places,readers stoppedme to chat.Both times I was planning on

It’s times like those thatkeepme humble! I wanted tolet each of you know howmuchI’ve appreciated the caring andsharing that happens eachweek through this column.Happy NewYear! I hope 2014brings many blessings to yourhome.

Bob and John’s eggplantcasserole

Reader John Pancoast sentthis, which is now a favorite forentertaining at his and wifePriscilla’s home. “From friendBobMartin of Loveland,” Johnsaid. John added fresh, coarsedried breadcrumbs on top forextra crunchiness. I’m lookingforward to making this myself.John said if you use a 9-inch by13-inch pan, you’ll get morecrunchy top surface area.

1 large eggplant, peeled and cutinto 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 sleeve of Townhouse crackers(about 40 crackers), crumbledcoarsely

1 cup whipping cream8 oz. shredded extra-sharpcheddar

1 tablespoon lemon juice(optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Heat six cups water to full boilin large pot. Add lemon juice ifdesired (some think it keepseggplant from darkening). Addeggplant to boiling water. Stireggplant frequently, it will befloating on top of water. Cookjust until water starts to returnto a boil, about three minutes.Do NOT overdo this step oreggplant will become rubbery!Drain and transfer to sprayedtwo-quart casserole. Sprinklecrackers on top. Pour in creamand add cheese. Stir untilblended. Bake uncovered for 1hour or until it starts to brownon top and gets a little crustyaround edges.

Priscilla Pancoast’s easycorn pudding

Another Pancoast favorite.Let me know if you want thisrecipe. “Everyone who tastes itwants the recipe,” Priscilla toldme.

No-fuss standing ribroast

One of the meat cutters atthe grocery told me he hassuccess with this holiday roastevery time hemakes it. Gosh, apretty good testimonial comingfrom him. Searing the roast onthe outside at a high temper-ature insures a moist inside.Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Season raw roast as desired.Place rib side down in a panand roast 10-15 minutes. Care-ful here, youmay get somesplattering. Reduce oven tem-perature to 250 degrees androast until thermometer readsabout 125 for rare or up to 145for medium. The roast con-tinues to cook at least 5 degreesmore when it’s out of the oven.Let it rest, tented loosely withfoil, for about 20-30 minutesbefore carving.

Caribbean citrus saladdressing

I really like this for a holidaybuffet. Let guests drizzle on topof salad made with mixedgreens. This can bemade sev-eral days ahead. If you havesome fresh parsley, toss a bitin. Taste before adding salt andpepper. Whisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄2 teaspoon garlic or to taste1 tablespoon honey1 tablespoon Dijonmustard2 tablespoons olive oil1⁄3 cup orange juice concentrate,thawed, or to taste

Brunch egg casserolewith sausage, potatoesand cheese

Nice for that New Year’s daybrunch. Sauté sausage ahead oftime and bring to room temper-ature before continuing.

1pound hot pork sausage or yourfavorite, cooked

3 cups frozen hash browns,thawed completely

12 oz. shredded cheddar12 large eggs, lightly beaten2 cups 2 percent milk or whateveryou have

Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Place hash browns in sprayed9-inch by 13-inch pan. Top withsausage and cheese. Whiskeggs milk and seasonings andpour on top. Bake 50-60 min-utes until somewhat puffed andgolden. Toothpick inserted incenter should come out clean.

Question: My lawn,garden and landscape allseem to be going down-hill. Even with all therain, several plants diedthis fall, and I did notharvest much producefrom the garden either.

Answer: Plant roots,then branches, die backduring dry years, andthen further decline oc-curs in wet years like2013, from root rot due tositting in water-loggedclay soils with low oxy-gen. Add to this the rav-ages of various air-borneand soil-borne plant dis-eases, and attack fromvarious insects, includingthousands of emerald ashborers now in NorthernKentucky, and it becomesclear why somany plantsare dying. Because of allthese “natural factors”that bring down plants, itbecomes essential that wedo “our part” as “plantmanagers” to keep theplants from going intostress. Therefore, as weapproach the new year,let’s make some resolu-tions.

» I will never toptrees, or pay someoneelse to do it, because itshortens the life of thetree, makes it weaker andmore apt to break apart,and causes sunscald,frost cracks, and attackfrom insects and dis-eases.

» When pruning atree, I will never leave abranch stub, but will cutback to another sidebranch that’s at leastone-third the diameter of

what it’sattachedto, or cutback to themaintrunk,leavingonly the“branchcollar” orswellingnear thetrunk (usu-

ally sticks out only a quar-ter- to a half-inch forsmall branches, or oneinch for larger branches).If a longer stub is left, itwill die, and will eventu-ally rot out the largerbranch or trunk below it.

» Whenmulchingaround trees, I will mulchonly three inches deep,and I will never let themulch touch the trunk ofthe tree, and certainly Iwill never do “volcanomulching,” piling themulch high up on the treetrunk, since this causesthe tree bark and trunk torot slowly, since themulch traps and holds toomuchmoisture duringthe wet seasons, and italso encourages molesand field mice to chew offthe bark of the tree trunk,killing the tree.

» I will always obtainlists of disease and insect-resistant plants from thelocal Cooperative Exten-sion Service Office be-fore planting, especiallyfor disease-susceptibleplants like apples andcrab apples, where manyresistant varieties exist.

» I will always submita soil sample before ap-

plying lime to my soil,and before planting alawn, flowers, fruits,vegetables, trees orshrubs, since a soil test(free through your localNorthern Kentucky Coun-ty Extension Office) isthe only way to know ifyou need lime, sulfur,phosphorus or potassium.Applying too much or toolittle of any of these willbe harmful to plants.

It is a time of yearwhen familymembersmay gather from hitherand yon. Stories andmemories will mostlikely be shared. Somemay be embarrassingwhile others upliftingand joyful. This may be agreat time to record orwrite a chapter of yourlife story.

Memories can be verypowerful and remind usof life’s ups and downsand times of growth,maturity and happiness.Do you remember whatyour first job was like?What was themake andmodel of your first car?How did you feel whenyou held your first child?What events have hap-

pened thathaveshapedwho youare?

Yourspecialmemoriesmay notonly beimportantto you, butthey could

be important to familyand friends as well.Many people wish theyknewmore about theirfamily history. Writingyour life story can help.The account of the seriesof events and experi-ences that make you theperson you are today canbe written, recorded or

both.Life stories include

information about familyand friends, the differentlocations and dwellingsthat you’ve called home,your education, work,hobbies, spirituality andhow you were affectedby important worldevents, such as the endof the VietnamWar or9/11. Life stories shouldalso include family med-ical history as this canprovide useful informa-tion for both you andfuture generations.
