Arlinghaus wins Republican primary Faces independent candidate in fall

By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

The hard fought race for the Republican judge-executive candidate has narrowed down to one.

Republican Steve Arlinghaus will face Independent candidate Alyssa Dara McDowell for the office of judge-executive this November in the general election.

Arlinghaus won with 48 percent of almost 6,000 votes. His nearest opponent, Scott Kimmich, garnered 40.9 percent of the vote.

Opponent Dan Moening ended the night with 11 percent of voters.

Arlinghaus, a Villa Hills resident, celebrated his win at home with friends and family the night of the primary on Tuesday, May 18.

“I think it’s a great opportunity and a new day for Kenton County and I Kimmich really really plan on doing a very good job representing the people of Kenton County,” he said.

If Arlinghaus prevails in the general election Moening this fall, replacing now JudgeExecutive Ralph Drees who did not seek re-election, he plans to focus on consolidating 911 dispatch services in addition to improving county relations with city officials.

“I will do all I can to restore working relationships between the city and county. Those things are vital to all of us,” he said.

The former county commis-

“He had the Republican machine behind him and all the money behind him.

Arlinghaus But we had the family roots tied to Kenton County that made a big difference.”

Steve Arlinghaus Kenton County Judge-Executive candidate

sioner who was elected to that office in 1993 credited his friends and family for his win over his opponents.

“He outspent us three or four to one,” Arlinghaus said of Kimmich.

“He had the Republican machine behind him and all the money behind him. But we had the family roots tied to Kenton County that made a big difference.”

Kimmich said he was “disappointed” at his loss.

“I had a plan I was convinced would move Kenton County forward in a very positive and fiscally responsible manner. I wish I would have had the opportunity to implement that plan,” he said.

The former deputy judge-executive was unsure about what his next step will be.

“I want to take a few days off and catch my breath. Politics are in my blood. You never know what the next race might be,” he said.

As for Moening, the Independence resident said if he couldn’t win, at least his choice did: “If it wasn’t me that won, I’m glad Mr. Arlinghaus won,” he said.

Draud takes commissioner primary

Will face Elfers in November election

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

After winning the Republican primary election, former education commissioner and state representative Jon Draud will face Democrat Tom Elfers in the fall for a seat on the Kenton County Fiscal Court.

Draud, an Edgewood resident, defeated first-term incumbent Sara Reeder Voelker and challenger Pat Von Lehman Dressman in the

Draud Dressman May 18 primary for the 2nd District seat, receiving 44 percent of the total vote.

“I’m very proud to be the Republican nomination, and I’m looking forward to a tough campaign in the fall,” he said. “I felt confident throughout this campaign, and I’m very pleased with how things turned out.”

Draud said he expects many of the same issues that surfaced dur-

ing the primary to still be around during the general election, including a potential smoking ban, economic development, and more Reeder Voelker collaboration between the cities and the county.

“One of the biggest things I hear when I talk to mayors is that there’s not enough cooperation, and that’s something that needs to be addressed,” he said. “ That will definitely be one of my highest priorities.”

Dressman, who previously worked as the director of Campbell County human services, said she felt good about her campaign,

despite not winning the seat. She also congratulated both Draud and Voelker for running clean races.

“There was no slander or any of that kind of thing in this race, and I’m very proud to be able to say that,” she said. “I think we ran a good campaign, and seeing my name on the ballot really gave me a sense of pride.”

As for the possibility of running again, Dressman, an Independence resident, left it open.

“You never know what could happen,” she offered. “Right now, I’m just proud of the effort we put in on this campaign, and we’ll see what happens in the future.”

Voelker, who resides in Taylor Mill, could not be reached for comment immediately after the primary.

Summe wins clerk race

By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

In an upset, Republican Gabrielle Summe will take the reins as county clerk in 2011.

Summe beat out fouryear incumbent Rodney Eldridge with close to 56 percent of votes. With no Democrat or Independent challenger, Summe will assume office in January.

The Fort Wright resident has been an assistant county attorney for nine years and been with the county attorney’s office since 1994.

“I’m very excited,” she said. “I have a fabulous family. I have excellent friends. I feel like I really did the work to get the win.”

Summe believes walking door to door connecting with voters made the difference in the primary election.

“I visited over 50,000 households and literally knocked on every door that I could. I asked for their vote, gave them the information about me so they knew what they were getting and they made their choice,” she said.

Summe’s first act as clerk will be educating herself “on every aspect of the office.”

“When I tell people I’m

going to cross-train employees, the first person who’s going to be cross-trained is myself,” she said.

While declining to elaborate on specific changes to the office before she gets to know the inner workings of the clerk’s office, Summe did say she plans to better access to county clerk services whether “that’s through technology, extended hours or creative scheduling,” she said.

In other races decided by the Republican primary, incumbents Garry Edmondson and Terry Carl prevailed respectively as county attorney and jailer.

“I’m very gratified,” Edmondson said. “When you look across Northern Kentucky and the Commonwealth, incumbents did not do well. I received a solid endorsement from the voters in spite of that.”

Edmondson, who has been attorney for the past 17 years, said the vote has encourage him and his office “to keep up the work and efforts, which we certainly will do.”

When contacted on the night of the primary, Eldridge said he had no comment. Carl was also unavailable for comment.

Rotary Club projects making a positive impact

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Jessica Rouse took a moment to set down her rake as she looked over the large mulch pile next to fellow Lloyd Memorial teacher Dirk Glaun.

“Looks like you’ve still got a pretty big pile over there - you need to get to work,” she joked.

Glaun glanced at his pile, then looked at the smaller one next to Rouse, where two students were aiding her as she spread the mulch around.

“Yeah, but you’ve got help,” he responded. “Why don’t you send one of them over here?”

The Lloyd teachers and students, all members of the school’s Gold Rush Club, were among those who joined the Kenton County Rotary on May 16 for some “Good Neighbor” projects all

Lloyd Memorial juniors Abby and Phoebe Hellmann help spread new mulch around the playground at the Erlanger Train Depot on May 16. Students from both Lloyd and Tichenor Middle volunteered with the Kenton County Rotary Club to help on a number of "Good Neighbor" projects that day. around the city. The projects ranged from landscaping work at the Erlanger Train Depot to helping to build a wheelchair ramp for a resi-

dent to repairing some crumbling front steps for another resident.

Gary Harmon, a rotary club member, said the idea

ects.

Harmon and Rotary President Matt Grimes organized all of the volunteers with specific instructions for each job site, and they all spent most of the afternoon on May 16 carrying out the various tasks.

“It’s a great program, and we just want to make a positive impact on the community,” said Grimes. “This is something we would love to see grow.”

Indeed, incoming rotary president Cathy Carlson said she thought the projects were a good idea.

for the program was born last year when a few volunteers helped an elderly resident with some landscaping in his yard.

“Our motto is ‘Service Above Self’, and that’s when I started to think that we could really make an impact doing projects just like that,” he said. “So we started to look for a way to help some more residents out.”

Using the various contacts of members of Rotary, Harmon said they were able to secure donated supplies from a number of local businesses, including BooneKenton Lumber. They also partnered with the city of Erlanger and members of the Erlanger Public Works Department to identify potential projects, and enlisted the help of volunteers from Lloyd and Tichenor Middle School to help carry out those proj-

The city of Elsmere announced that John Bradford and Mark McGuire, both seniors at Lloyd Memorial, have been awarded the 2010 city scholarship.

The scholarships, each worth $750, were announced at the May 11 council meeting, where the students were presented with an engraved clock.

“We really looked at the entire body of work for each of the applications, from academics to community

service to their goals for the future, and we feel we made the best selections,” said councilman Marty Lenhof.

“We’re just happy to be able to do this for the students.”

McGuire, who plans to attend Morehead State, and Bradford, who will attend the Rochester Institute of Technology, said they were very grateful for the scholarship money.

“Every amount helps, and I’m just thankful to have been selected,” said Bradford.

School district says goodbye to Brendel

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

During his time in the Erlanger/Elsmere School District, Officer Todd Brendel has been slimed, forced to ride a donkey, and ducttaped by students to the cafeteria wall multiple times.

And he’s enjoyed every minute of it.

Brendel, the school district’s resource officer for the past 11 years, will not return to the district next year, as he seeks to devote more time to his duties at the Erlanger Police Department. He will be replaced by two part-time resource officers next year.

“We’re very sad to see him go, because he’s such a terrific person and he’s done a great job,” said Superintendent Kathy Burkhardt at the May 13 school board meeting. “He’s certainly going to be missed.”

was always known for his willingness to participate in quirky fundraisers, most of which often ended with him in precarious or unenviable positions, such as being duct-taped to a cafeteria wall in a Christmas-time fundraiser.

“Oh man - it’s been fun,” said Brendel, shaking his head as he recalled some of the instances. “I’ve definitely enjoyed it.”

But Brendel was known for more than just his easygoing nature and positive attitude. In 2002, he was recognized as the Resource of the Year from the Kentucky Crime Watch Coalition, and received the 2005 Youth Crime Watch Award.

Beyond that he ran the D.A.R.E. program in each of the schools in the district, and chaperoned countless dances and school functions and coached the Tichenor girls’ basketball team, served as dignitary in the Special Olympics and partic-

“He’s someone we’ve always been able to count on, and the kids just love him,” said Burkhardt.

The district also recognized five other employees who will be retiring at the end of the school year;

Karen Boyle, Jahnett Dickman, Nancy Harris, Susan Knasel and Janet Spaulding.

“We’ve been fortunate to have so many great people in our district, and we wish them all well as they move on to the next chapter of their lives,” said Burkhardt.

Julie Schuler is confident that the Armed Forces Day Military Cup 5K will be a little different than most races.

With their unit headed for deployment overseas in June, close to 60 soldiers from the 1/320th Field Artillery Regiment are expected to participate in the annual 5K run/walk, which raises money for the Kenton County Veterans Memorial. The 1/320th, based out of Fort Campbell, has four units that have been adopted by the cities of Villa Hills, Crescent Springs, Lakeside Park and Erlanger.

“To have these soldiers, who are getting ready to head overseas for who knows how long, take time to come up here is just amazing,” said Schuler, a local liaison for the AdoptA-Unit program. “We’re just so excited for this weekend - it’s going to be great.”

The 5K will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Crescent Springs Memorial Park, with a route that will take participants through Villa Hills toward River Ridge Elementary.

Following the 5K, there will

be a special breakfast at the Crescent Springs Firehouse with the troops, where residents can interact with the soldiers and their families.

“This will be a great time for all of us to show our appreciation for the troops and what they do for us,” said Schuler, adding that this will be the fourth deployment for many soldiers in the unit. “These are amazing men and women.”

The day’s festivities will conclude with a fireworks show in the park at dusk, where families are invited for one last chance to meet the troops and show their patriotism.

Then, the next day, some of the soldiers from Bravo Battery are scheduled to visit Erlanger United Methodist Church for their 10:30 a.m. service. Pastor John Street said they’ll take time during the service to recognize the troops, and guests will also be able to greet them afterwards.

“We’re excited to welcome them here,” he said.

Burns wins National Merit Scholarship

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

JASON BRUBAKER/STAFF

Miles Elementary second-graders Brinley Burris, Tommy Alexander and Paige Hoffman show off some of the artwork that was on display during the school's art show on May 10. The school displayed over 600 pieces of art for the show, with each student in the school contributing at least one project.

Miles’ first art show is success

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Thanks to Scott Fairchild, the hallways and classrooms of Miles Elementary were transformed into a distinguished art gallery for an evening.

Fairchild, the art teacher at both Miles and Lindeman, organized an art show on May 10, showcasing student artwork. Each student contributed at least one project to the show, with some students using more than one, to create a show with more than 600 total pieces.

“Mr. Fairchild definitely went all out to make this big, and he did a terrific job,” said Principal Bryant Gillis. “I think the kids really enjoyed it.”

Indeed, Fairchild said he felt the kids had a good time during the planning process. He said he saved all of the students’ work throughout the year, and allowed them to select their best project or projects to display during the show.

The projects on display included drawings, paintings, sculptures and collages, all done entirely by the Miles student body. The Parent Teacher Organization was also on hand, serving

Beechwood senior Ellen Burns has proven she knows how to play the waiting game.

Burns recently received word that she was selected as a National Merit Scholarship winner, a little over two months after being notified she was a finalist for her scores on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Of the approximately 1.5 million students across the country who take the test, only 2,500 eventually become scholarship winners.

“Once you become a finalist, there’s really nothing you can do but wait and hope for the best, so there’s definitely some anxiety” said Burns. “So when I got a letter and saw that I had been selected as a winner, I was just really excited.”

As a scholarship winner, Burns will receive $2,500 for each of her four years at the University of Kentucky, where she plans to study biology as she works toward attending medical school. Burns is one of only two scholarship winners in the Greater Cincinnati area, according to Principal Ginger Webb.

“This is a great reflection on our school, but more importantly, on Ellen and the work she has put in,” said Webb. “She’s a great

Beechwood senior Ellen Burns is one of only 2,500 students across the country to receive the National Merit Scholarship. She will attend the University of Kentucky in the fall. kid, and she’s going to be incredibly successful in whatever she decides to do.”

In addition to earning the scholarship, Burns is also a member of the National Honor Society, the Academic Club and the French Club, as well as being on the Speech and Drama teams.

She also received the Governor’s Scholar Award, and the “I Dare You” National Leadership Award this year.

“She’s just a terrific student and a great role model,” said Webb. “This is certainly a big honor for her, and it’s a very prestigious scholarship, but she’s very

deserving of it.”

Because she was actually notified before the official announcements were released from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, she said she had to keep it a secret for a few weeks, even from some of her classmates.

“That was kind of hard, just because I was pretty excited and wanted to tell everyone,” she admitted.

“But I’m just really thrilled to have been selected as a winner, and I’m looking forward to starting at UK in the fall.”

“The students are learning to be artists, and part of that is being able to judge their work,” he said. “I wanted them to really understand this whole process, and I think they did a terrific job.”

To add flair to the show, Fairchild organized the art by themes throughout the building, such as having tribal music playing in the library, where paper mache masks adorned the walls.

Parents were invited to read a fable written by their child before trying to select the mask that was inspired by the story.

“That was something the parents really had fun

with,” said Gillis. “It was just a good evening overall.”

Second-grader Tommy Alexander agreed.

“It was cool to see my work on the wall and see everyone walking through and looking at it,” he said.

“It was fun.”

Next year, Fairchild said he plans to make the art show night even bigger, and has entertained the idea of bringing in a string quartet to play for the guests.

“I think this year was definitely a success, and next year we’ll try to keep making it better,” he said.

“But the biggest thing is for the kids to learn something and to be proud of themselves for their hard work.”

Landrum joins Union track team

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Joey Landrum won the 1,600 meters at his last home meet, the Lloyd Invitational May 7-8.

The Lloyd Memorial High School senior is hoping to break a 35-year-old school record this year. He ran 4:32.28 in that meet.

Steve Adkisson still has the record of 4:29.6.

Adkisson trains with the team and wrote a book about the Lloyd track team several years ago.

“He’s a legend,” Landrum said.

However the season ends up, Landrum will continue his running career at NAIA Union College. Landrum signed with Union May 12.

Landrum, who plans to major in athletic training, said he has relatives near Union and also knows some of the athletes currently on

Landrum was second in the Class 2A regional meet last fall in cross country and

third in 2008. He was sixth in the state in 2008.

The Lloyd senior hopes to qualify for state this year in the 800 and 1,600. He

will miss the Lloyd program.

singles and four doubles teams to the state tournament. The team champion gets half those slots. If one of their representatives fail to make the semifinals, they replace one of the semifinal losers, who would have an extra playoff match to award the state berth.

The state tourney is May 27-29 in Lexington. On Thursday, May 27, the boys’ tourney will be the University of Kentucky, while the girls’ play at the Sayre High School athletic complex. The final two days, all action will be at UK. Next year, the state team title will be awarded in a separate tournament. The existing format will remain to crown singles and doubles champions.

other opportunities for the Dixie senior.

Smith will run for the University of Mississippi next year. He signed with the Division I school from the Southeastern Conference May 6.

“Freshman year, I got cut from the baseball team, and I was really devastated,” he

said. “I thought I wasn’t going to play any sport. A couple of years ago if you had asked me if I would go Division I, I would have laughed.”

Smith had played soccer as well. Dixie cross country coach Ed Cook recruited Smith to run, seeing he had the build for cross country.

Standing are Dixie coaches Ed Cook (left) and Steve Saunders.

Smith ran track and later joined cross country.

“I spent three years trying to recruit him from soccer, but I got two good years out of him, so it was special,” Cook said. “He’s always run on his own a little bit to stay in shape for soccer. He’s developed a lot of strength and stamina in that sport, and that transitioned over to cross country.”

Last fall, Smith was second in the Class 3A regional cross country meet and fifth at state.

Last year at state, he was 9th in the 1,600.

Smith, who plans to major in computer/electrical engineering, said his coaches got him to the Division I level, including Cook, Dixie track coach Steve Saunders, and summer coach John Graupmann.

Smith has big goals for this upcoming postseason.

“I would love to win the 3,200 meters,” he said. “To cap off my senior year with a state title would be nice.”

Freedom begins 2010 season May 21

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Like the 11 other teams in the professional baseball league, the Florence Freedom have to rebuild its roster from year to year to comply with league rules limiting the amount of experience a team can have.

Because of that, the Freedom team that debuts at Champion Window Field Tuesday, May 25, will have a few familiar faces on it, but mostly new ones, as it begins its journey into the 2010 season.

Florence travels to Gateway (Sauget, Ill.) for a three-game series to open the 96-game season Friday, May 21, before coming back home. Florence was 49-47 last year, only its second winning season in seven tries. The team is looking for its first-ever Frontier League playoff berth.

While this year’s team is

working in several new players, several key holdovers from last year’s team are back to help.

“We battled really hard last year and had a great group,” said second-year field manager Toby Rumfield in an interview posted on the team’s website.

“We’ve got that core group back. We’re better pitching and defensively.

We’re going to score runs and steal bases,” he said.

Several key hitters return from last year. Outfielder Billy Mottram hit .281 with 23 homers and 79 RBI. Catcher Justin Pickett hit .277 with 26 homers and 78 RBI. Utility player Johnny Welch hit .267 with 13 HR and 51 RBI. Third baseman Tim Grogan, the Florence native and Covington Catholic graduate, hit .270 with 12 HR and 60 RBI. Outfielder Dustin Koca, who joined the team late last season, returns.

CHATROOM

Last week’s question:

What are your memories of your high school prom?

Job well done

“Not very pleasant. I was a skinny kid from a poor family in a small town, in a small parochial high school, and I wasn’t a jock, nor was I particularly good with girls. So I didn’t really plan to go to the prom.

“However, the nun in charge of these things decided that she was going to assemble all the boys and girls who didn’t have prom dates in the gym, have them face each other, and pick a date.

“It’s been too many years, so I can’t remember if we were just to pick the girl across from us or not, but I think that’s what it was.

“My date is now a nun herself.”

B.B. “I didn’t go – the whole formal dance concept just didn’t appeal to me. On the night of my senior prom I went to the movies with my boyfriend – who for the past 38 years has been my husband.

“And we would still rather go to the movies than to a formal dinner or dance!”

J.S.B. “I have very distinct memories of my high school prom because I took two different girls! It was a two-day event: The first day was the dance, and the next was a boat ride. Traditionally, the same girl went to both.

“By the time prom came up, I had decided I wanted to date another girl I had met. I can chalk this up to high school immaturity, but I broke up with girlfriend No. 1 after taking her to the prom dance, and started dating girlfriend No. 2 by going on the boat ride the next day, never missing a beat.

“I can remember how surprised and amazed all my friends were because nobody did that!

“It was a terrible thing to do, but I was 17. Needless to say, I also broke up with girlfriend No. 2 and married someone totally different.

“Many years later I still feel badly that I did what I did. Carol, if you’re out there, I am so sorry!”

R.H. “Prom? Weird dress, painful shoes, no sleep, nice date.”

L.A.D.

JASON BRUBAKER/STAFF

Budget: Get the job done If we don’t have a state budget come July 1, Kentucky families and businesses across the commonwealth are going to suffer.

As governor and elected leader of this state, I refuse to sit quietly and watch our families be deprived of the services and programs they need to survive this tumultuous economy and prepare themselves and their children for the future.

That’s why I’m coming forward yet again to try to help the General Assembly resolve its differences and reach agreement on a budget that addresses a $1.5 billion shortfall while preserving as best we can our priorities.

Ever since the legislative session came to a close on April 15 without a budget, I’ve been meeting privately with leadership in both the House and the Senate, urging them to reconcile the last few issues that seem to be preventing agreement.

Recently they admitted they were stuck and suggested I come forward with a tangible plan that could break the impasse.

So that’s what I’ve done.

Let me be clear: My plan is not a new budget.

We are not starting from scratch.

This proposal is a reasonable compromise that represents my understanding of both the areas of general agreement between the House and the Senate and the major concerns that divide them.

Those concerns, primarily, are levels of debt and funding levels for priority areas, chiefly the K-12 education programs funded by the formula known as SEEK. The proposal meets the basic needs of our people over the next two years, but it is predicated on

the understanding that the General Assembly is not willing to raise significant new recurring revenues at this time.

The proposal: • Does not rely Gov. Steve on any new taxes, Beshear which neither our nor our Community families businesses could Recorder handle. guest • Cuts most agency columnist state budgets as the Senate proposed by 3.5 percent in Fiscal Year 2011 and 4.5 percent in Fiscal Year 2012, as compared to Fiscal Year 2010. But it makes much smaller cuts to priority areas such as education, health care for our most vulnerable and public safety.

• Funds the House-proposed SEEK per pupil guarantee of $3,845 in Fiscal Year 2011 and $3,881 in Fiscal Year 2012.

• Maintains the required classroom instructional days at 177 for both years of the biennium. Two of those days were in question.

Under this proposal, the state would fund one of those days and the local school districts the other.

• Limits debt by bonding for a limited number of projects to honor prior commitments, address critical needs and create jobs. The proposed $441 million in projects – including state equalization funding for 14 Category 5 school building projects – would be the lowest amount of General Fund-supported bonds in a biennial budget since 1996.

• Is a biennial budget that gives agencies, schools and local gov-

ernments that rely on state funding the certainty they need to plan for those two years.

• Continues efforts to shrink state government through efficiencies, contract spending cuts, reduction in non-merit personnel spending and other strategies.

• Addresses the state’s skyrocketing Medicaid costs while including the significant cost containment measures in my original budget proposal.

• Reduces our structural imbalance by about $400 million.

• And carries forward $279 million from Fiscal Year 2011 to Fiscal Year 2012 to mitigate deeper cuts.

Do I like this budget?

No, I don’t.

The budget I proposed last January was far better for the citizens of the Commonwealth because it used video lottery terminals at our racetracks to create significant new recurring revenues to better fund our priorities.

Any budget that emerges from this process will be disappointing and difficult because of the $1.5 billion shortfall we must address … but an austere budget is better than no budget at all.

And this proposal is a reasonable compromise on the remaining issues dividing the House and the Senate.

I will be calling the General Assembly into special session on May 24 to pass a budget. The call will include the Executive Branch Budget, the Transportation Cabinet Budget, the Biennial and Six-Year Road Plans, and a revenue-related bill that both the House and Senate relied upon to balance the budget.

I strongly urge the House and Senate to sit down immediately

Let me stress that we must enact a budget by June 1 so we do not miss the opportunity to capture $113 million in debt service savings from restructuring bonds and other savings.

I see no reason why the Special Session should last longer than five days, the minimum amount of time to pass a piece of legislation.

The consequences of inaction – for Kentucky and for Kentuckians – are unacceptable, and I am doing everything in my power to avoid that scenario.

However, in the end, only the House and Senate can pass a budget under the law. It is their responsibility to get the job done, and the citizens of Kentucky will neither forgive nor forget a failure to do so.

Steve Beshear is governor of Kentucky.

Mid-May’s safe to plant everything in the garden Question: I’ve decided to try growing my own tomatoes this year, and maybe some peppers, beans and pumpkins. Is it safe to go ahead and get things planted? What type of fertilizer do I need? How far apart should I space plants?

Answer: Yes, it’s time now to go ahead and plant everything in your garden. Now that we are past mid-May, we shouldn’t have to worry about any more killing frosts. However, sometimes peppers and tomatoes are damaged at 36 degrees, so listen to the forecast for a few days after planting.

Now that soil temperatures are in the low 60s, it’s even safe to plant sweet potatoes.

It is easier to fertilize the entire garden before tilling or starting to plant. That way, the fertilizer can be mixed into the root zone. The type and amount of fertilizer applied should be based on soil test results. Soil testing is free at your local County Extension Service office. Bring at least 2 cups of air-dried soil, and allow 10-14 days to get results. Fresh livestock manure should not be applied to the vegetable garden in the spring.

When planting tomatoes, select stocky transplants about 6 to 10 inches tall. If they are not yet “hardened off,” or if the plants are spindly, plant them deep, since they will quickly form roots all

along the buried stem. Starter fertilizer should be used around transplants. Since plants should be pruned and staked, space them 24 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart. In order to prevent tomato diseases, it is important to have the plants far enough apart so they do not touch each other when they reach full size. It is also important to keep them up off the ground by caging or staking.

To protect the transplants from sunburn, which could bleach the leaves to a gray color, put an upside-down milk crate over the top of each plant, with a rock on top to help provide some shading for the plant during the first week

or two of establishment in your garden. Tomato plants benefit from additional fertilizer after fruit has set. When first fruits reach golf ball size, scatter 1 tablespoons ammonium nitrate (34-0-0) in a 6- to 10-inch circle around each plant. Water thoroughly and repeat about every two weeks.

Staking makes the job of caring for tomatoes easier and aids in reducing fruit rots. Drive stakes in soil about 4 to 6 inches from plant, 1 foot deep, soon after transplants are set in the garden. Use sturdy wooden stakes at least 6 feet long and 11⁄2 to 2 inches wide. Attach heavy twine at 10-inch intervals to stakes. As tomatoes grow, pull

them up alongside stakes and tie loosely. Tomatoes may also be set along a fence Mike Klahr or trellis and tied there, or they Community may be grown Recorder inside a wire guest cage. Tomatoes columnist grow under a wide range of conditions with minimum effort.

They require relatively little space for large yields. Each tomato plant, if properly cared for, can be expected to yield 10 to 15 pounds of fruit.

Tim’s Trains and Hobbies sells a wide variety of model trains, rocket and cars as well as paints, how-to books and accessories for train model dioramas.

The shop carries HO, N

“They don’t pay shipping and handling. They can just pick it up at the store,” he said.

Cook, who has a 36-foot long model train layout in his home, said trains are popular in Greater Cincinnati.

“There’s really a lot of people in the area that do it,” he said.

Residents looking to show their patriotic pride this Memorial Day will have plenty of opportunities.

Here’s a closer look at each of the events.

Edgewood Senior Center

A light rain concluded the ceremony last year, but Edgewood Mayor John Link is optimistic this he weather will cooperate this year.

“It’s always a nice ceremony, and hopefully we won’t have to worry about the clouds moving in this year,” he said. “But we do hope everyone can come out and show their support for all of our veterans.”

The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m., and will include several speakers, as well as the raising of the American flag by the Kenton County Honor Guard, and the playing of Taps by Kenton County Sheriff Chuck Korzenborn.

Envy is as common as love or anger to possess the same advantage,” to w h i c h some psychologists w o u l d “and Father Lou add, often the Guntzelman desire to Perspectives d e s t r o y the one perceived as possessing that advantage.”

What are some examples of envy?

It is possible to churn with envy when we perceive another as more successful, better-looking, more popular, wealthier, having a better body or youthful age, having a very desirable spouse, an influential job, higher social status, or be favored by a parent or boss, and the beat goes on.

A woman so envied her sister that the predominant motive in her life was not doing what she really enjoyed, but doing things to overtake her sister.

A sports-minded man was resentful of certain athletes and their well-developed bodies. He even rejoiced when they were injured or publicly embarrassed (schadenfreude in German, “taking pleasure in others’ misfortunes”).

Usually the envied person does nothing to deserve the envy of another. He or she is not responsible for the envious person’s perceived lack of the envied quality. In fact, the envied person may possess the

Jealousy is often mistaken for envy. They’re not the same. Jealousy is mainly concerned about love.

The jealous person fears losing someone they love to a rival. quality because they worked hard to achieve it.

To try and understand our perplexing emotion of envy, we need to see how it stems from our human desire for fulfillment.

In “Urgings Of The Heart,” authors Au and Cannon offer helpful insights: “Whenever we perceive something to be a good, we are attracted to it.

We feel a desire to be close to it or possess it … Envy is intrinsically related to goodness. What we each come to value and desire as good is determined by our unique personality.

“What is desirable to one person may not be so to another. Envy enters our hearts when we despair of ever receiving the good things we desire… and our despair becomes fertile soil

for envy, which flourishes whenever hope is lacking.”

Looked at spiritually, envy represents a refusal to accept one’s humaness and limitations. By focusing enviously on what others have and we lack, we

betray ourselves by preferring the being of another to our own.

The spiritual failure of envy lies in the fact that rejecting who we are carries with it a certain rejection of the God who created and fashions us.

“In Christian tradition, Satan has been identified as the archetypal envier because he could not accept his rightful place in the order of creation,” writes Au

and Cannon. “That he was not God, creating a kingdom of his own where he could reign.”

Envy must be replaced with gratitude.

Envy is a little bacteria living within us. It can remain small and cause minimal trouble or spread and poison the whole person.

Envy and resentment can even be a cause of international or national conflict. Poorer nations may feel it toward wealthier ones, or one race or religion toward another.

Psychoanalysts consider envy in making their analysis because it can be an underlying factor in relationship problems between spouses, parents, siblings, and friends.

Envy is a difficult emotion to identify and integrate.

“Envy is so shameful a passion that we never dare acknowledge it,” says La Rochefoucauld.

After decades of hearing individuals’ confessions, I could count on one hand the people who ever mentioned envy as a personal sin of theirs.

Jealousy is often mistaken for envy. They’re not the same. Jealousy is mainly concerned about love. The jealous person fears losing someone they love to a rival.

Whereas envy is the pain felt when another is perceived as possessing some person, object, quality, or status that one does not have.

Webster’s dictionary defines envy as “the painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire

This summer salad is a cornbread winner way, whether remembering a fallen veteran, family or friends.

The cornbread salad recipe is one of my most requested for this holiday, so here it is, in plenty of time for you to put it on the menu.

Cornbread salad for Memorial Day

One that’s worth the calories. Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients.

It’s easy to make.

I enjoy starting out Memorial Day with my family, going to Mass at St. Philomena church in Clermont County. It’s an outdoor mass, weather permitting.

Afterwards, there’s a gun salute to the fallen veterans.

We visit my parents’ graves and put vases of fresh flowers on them. The grandkids help me plant sprigs of Mom’s heirloom mint.

It’s a meaningful tradition. I know many of you celebrate Memorial Day this

1 package, 81⁄2 ounces, cornbread/muffin mix 1 can, 4 ounces, chopped green chilies, undrained or 1 to 2 jalapeños, chopped 1 teaspoon cumin 1 ⁄2 teaspoon oregano 1 cup each mayonnaise and sour cream 1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix 2 cans, 15 ounces each, Great Northern beans, drained 2 cans, 15 ounces each, whole kernel corn; drained or equivalent frozen corn, thawed 4 good-sized tomatoes, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 large bunch green onions, chopped 12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled 3 cups shredded cheddar Prepare cornbread according to package directions but stir in chilies, cumin, oregano. Pour into sprayed 8-inch pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream and dressing mix; set aside.

Crumble half the cornbread into a 13-by-9 pan.

Layer with half of the rest of the ingredients and repeat layers, ending with cheese. Cover and refrigerate for two hours or more.

Serves 10 to 12.

Alandra’s wasabi-mayo dip with asparagus

Alandra is my friend, Ruth Ann Parchman’s daughter-in-law. Alandra

shared this recipe in a family cookbook Ruth Ann published. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish.

2-3 pounds thin to medium asparagus, trimmed and blanched

Whisk together until sugar dissolves:

1 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce 11⁄2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons wasabi paste Serve asparagus with dip. Also good with snap peas.

Roasted sweet rhubarb topping

I got enough rhubarb stalks from the garden to make my all-time favorite topping. Rhubarb is called “pie plant” because most folks make a rhubarb and strawberry pie with it.

Rhubarb is good for our skeletal system. It contains anti-bacterial and anti-cancer properties, so it’s good to eat when in season. It’s really sour, though, so some sweetener is necessary.

1 pound rhubarb Zest and juice of an orange 1 ⁄3 to 1⁄2 generous cup sugar or equivalent Shake of cinnamon (optional but good) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut rhubarb into chunks. Toss with zest, orange and sugar. Put in small baking dish, cover

with foil and roast 20 minutes. Remove foil and roast until the juices get a bit syrupy. Add cinnamon.

Serve hot, warm, room temperature or chilled on scones, or as a topping for cake and ice cream.

Tip from Rita: Only the stalks of rhubarb are edible, not the leaves.

Can you help?

Like Macaroni Grill’s chicken scaloppini. For Donna, a Kentucky reader.

Like Manyet Bakery’s radio rolls. For Patti Dirr.

“Rolled like phyllo dough wound in a coil. Sticky caramel glaze and chopped pecans with caramel icing and more pecans. It was flat, not risen.” Her husband used to drive from Crestview Hills to Newport on Saturday mornings just to buy these.

Like Ruby Tuesday’s avocado ranch dressing.

For Wendy McDonald, a Norwood reader. “They discontinued it and won’t share the recipe.”

Tips from readers

• Batavia reader Debbie Moffatt offers this tip for Rita’s oven-fried french fries.

“We prepare them in a similar manner by parboiling the potatoes first. I want to pass on that I use my apple slicer to make the wedges and cut the ‘core’ circle in half lengthwise,” she said.

• In response to Mrs. Ratterman’s request for darker sauerbraten gravy.

Reader John Augustin

has a Dayton Art InstiRita tute cookHeikenfeld b o o k recipe that Rita’s kitchen uses gingersnaps for thickening and he says the gravy is dark.

John has made it and declares it “delicious.” He’ll share if Mrs. Ratterman wants it.

Reader Mary DeFoe suggests browning the flour in the skillet. “Takes about 20 minutes of careful watching and stirring.”

Mount Lookout reader Tom Heitkamp says he tracked down a recipe from ifood.tv:

Sauerbraten gravy 1

⁄4 cup butter 1 tablespoon sugar 1 ⁄4 cup flour Approximately 1 sauerbraten marinade (left after cooking meat) 1 cup red wine In a large saucepan, heat the butter, add the sugar and enough flour to produce a thick roux. Stir constantly and let the flour darken as much as possible without burning.

Slowly add the marinade, stirring. Add the wine and simmer, stirring, until the sauce has the thickness of heavy cream. Strain the mixture through a very fine sieve and keep warm.

Summerfair names local exhibitors

Organizers of Summerfair 2010 announced the lineup of local artists participating in the nationally recognized fine arts and crafts fair, which returns to historic Coney Island June 4-6.

Forty-six artists from the Tristate were among the more than 300 selected to exhibit.

more than 800 artists from across the country and Canada that applied to exhibit their art at the fair in categories like photography, painting, woodworking, ceramics, fibers, leather and jewelry. Many new artists also had the opportunity to submit their work with the launch of the new 2D/3D mixed media art category.

A local jury of professional artists and art educators selected the fair’s lineup, which offers an exciting balance of new and returning artists.

Sharon Strubbe, executive director for Summerfair Cincinnati – the year-round nonprofit organization that produces Summerfair – was excited to see the number of local artists who made the show.

tion Stewardship Program (CSP) at their local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office but the deadline for getting signed up for the second CSP ranking period is quickly approaching.

According to NRCS District Conservationist Ed Thompson, now is the time for landowners and producers who have considered applying for CSP to get signed up and submit documentation.

USDA has announced the national cutoff date for CSP is June 11, which requires landowners submit applications quickly.

“If you’ve heard about the new CSP and talked with other local producers or read about others involved with it, now is the time to roll up your sleeves and get your conservation operation on the list of those recognized for a quality conservation commitment,” said Thompson.

According to Thompson, the clock is ticking for program sign-up this fiscal year. USDA just announced the final cutoff date, which gives producers a brief window of opportunity to get signed up for in 2010.

Tom Perrin, Kentucky State Conservationist (STC) confirms NRCS teams across the state are ready to work with producers and start the process. Ag producers or landowners who are new to NRCS or USDA will need to schedule an appointment and complete the application process.

CSP is a voluntary program that encourages producers to maintain existing conservation activities and adopt additional practices on their operations. The program is popular for producers who go the extra mile with conservation and sustainable operations – whether on their own, with other conservation partners, or through USDA and NRCS programs.

Only applications received by June 11 will be considered for funding in fiscal year 2010. For more information, including eligibility requirements, visit your county USDA Service Center at 6028 Camp Ernst Road in Burlington, 5867903, or 486 Helton Street in Williamstown, 8232291, Ed Thompson.
