Taylor Mill plans to design gateway By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

TAYLOR MILL — As portions of the new Pride Parkway near completion, city leaders are making plans to spruce up the streetscape. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 spokesperson Nancy Wood said the north and south sections of the new Ky. 16, to be known as Pride Parkway,

should be finished by mid-summer. She said, “Some signal pole approvals could delay things on the north section,” which stretches from Interstate 275 to Blackstone Court. The middle section, from Blackstone Court in Taylor Mill to Sunbrite Drive in Covington, won’t be complete until the spring or summer of 2015. In preparation for the road’s

completion, Mayor Dan Bell and members of the Taylor Mill City Commission unanimously approved spending $27,000 for Chris Manning of the landscape design firm Human Nature, Inc., to plan gateways to the city and roadside landscaping. Manning said landscaping along the outer edges of the roadway had fewer restrictions than median plantings, and he hoped to connect the area “in a

meaningful way.” “The edges might be a really good place to start,” he said. City Administrator Jill Bailey said she hopes Manning will “identify opportunities” for a gateway entrance somewhere between Interstate 275 and Taylor Creek and to “create a sense of place.” She called the intersection of Sawmill Drive and Old Taylor Mill Road “a key component and

key anchor of the business district,” and said that part of the roadway would be complete by July 1. Bailey said the city leaders needed to determine the landscaping, because the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet “is interested in building streets, not in creating greenspace opportunities.” Tweet at @AmyScalfNky

Independence Egg Hunt fills baskets with fun

By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

INDEPENDENCE — Hundreds of children bundled up for a chilly Independence Easter Egg Hunt at Memorial Park on Saturday, March 23, but they left with baskets full of candy, eggs and prizes. Before and after the event, they enjoyed the sunshine at the park’s playground despite wearing their winter coats and

hats. Independence Parks and Recreation Director Nita Brake said the event is all about family fun. “We divide it up in different age groups, so if you have a child that’s 3 years old and another one that’s 6, you can participate in the hunt with both of them, because we do the younger ones first, and we make sure everybody at least gets some eggs,” she said. “We

try to make sure that every child gets something when they leave here.” Brake and her crew of volunteers also handed out bagged candy, distributed door prizes, and took photos of children with the Easter Bunny.

ERLANGER — Former serviceman David Bain left the Northern Kentucky Veterans Job Fair March19 feeling pretty good. “I love that we have something like this,” said Bain, who served in the Army National Guard. “You can go to different (employers) and talk to people about job opportunities. The people are friendly and will help you in any way they can.” The Kenton County resident gained several job leads at the free event that is part of a nationwide initiative, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Hiring Our Heroes. The event, held at Receptions Banquet Conference Center in Erlanger, was organized in partnership with Northern Kentucky Tri-County Economic Development (TriED) and the Northern Kentucky Career Center. “This is good for all (servicemen and women), especially when they come home, they need to find a job,” Bain said. That is the goal of the job fair, according to Ken Wocher of the Northern Kentucky Career Center. “Our goal for the event is to get as many people employed as we can, especially veterans, that is our bread and butter,” he said. The first hour of the job fair is strictly dedicated to servicemen and women and their spouses.

“If anyone deserves a chance, it’s those who’ve put their lives on the line for our country,” said Joseph Pennington, U.S. Navy retired, and military recruiting coordinator for Combined Insurance. Combined Insurance, ranked 8th on G.I. Jobs magazine’s 2013 Military Friendly Employer list, is a regular participant in Hiring Our Heroes job fairs. “We understand that unemployment among veterans remains a problem,” Pennington said. “Our goal is to help them transfer their skills to a nonmilitary job or a new career.” According to USAToday.com, joblessness among veterans remains high – well above the national unemployment rate of 7.7 percent. In fact, about 205,000 of those who served in or during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are without work. Companies such as Combined Insurance, however, are benefiting greatly by recognizing the contributions servicemen and women can make as civilian employees. “They are responsible, hardworking, disciplined and dedicated to helping others,” Pennington said. “As a company, we take pride in our military and those who’ve selflessly served. We consider it a privilege to help them achieve post military financial, personal and professional goals.” Want to continue the conversation. Tweet @MStewartReports

Yugos rev up for new album release By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

The Yugos are Jackson Deal, Christian Gough, Jordin Goff and Jeremy Graham. THANKS TO THE YUGOS

Do You Have Ulcerative Colitis? Is it hard to control your symptoms using your current medication? What This study will evaluate whether the study medication, budesonide MMX®, is safe and eﬀective in people with ulcerative colitis that is not well controlled using anti-inﬂammatory medications known as 5-aminosalicylic acids (5-ASAs). Budesonide MMX®, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study is looking to see whether budesonide MMX® (given by mouth as tablet) and 5-ASA medication used together can better control the symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Who Adults 18-75 years old who have been diagnosed with mild or moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) and continue to have symptoms even when taking a 5-ASA medication (such as Asacol® and Lialda®) to treat UC. Pay Participants will be compensated for time and travel. All medication will be provided at no cost to participants. Details For more information, contact Lauren Plageman at 513-558-5529 or lauren.plageman@uchealth.com

TAYLOR MILL — Unlike the much-maligned 1980’s import car of the same name, The Yugos are musically cruising their way to success. Chief lyricist and band manager Christian Gough said the band name came from the discontinued car. His brother, drummer Jordin Goff, says that worked “because we really didn’t know how to play our instruments and we couldn’t keep it together.” Christian attends Scott High School, where Jordin participated in Open Mic Cafe before he graduated in 2009. They both cite Open Mic and drama club sponsor Amanda Volpenhein as “a big influence,” and “really positive and very supportive.” They’ve made music with lead guitarist and keyboardist Jackson Deal since 2009 as The Yugos, and bassist Jeremy Graham, who was a “really huge fan” joined the group in 2012. They’re not only keeping it together, they’re also spreading the love. Christian and another friend started Best Friend Records, which includes more than a dozen local bands who share resources. “It’s more like a collective,” he said. “We organize events, help fund each other’s records and pool our money to print stickers or whatever they need.” Best Friends Records will host a musical extrav-

was funded through a KickStarter campaign, which raised more than their goal of $2,500 and included interesting prizes, such as having the band members re-enact scenes from donors’ favorite movies. Other prizes were going to dinner and a sleepover with the band, and having them play a cover song of the donor’s choice, because they generally only play their own original work. The Yugos are excited to record their new music, which they described as “fun,” “more rocking” and “a dragon with laser beams attached to its head.” “If you can’t tell, we like nonsense,” said Jordin. He said the biggest difference between the new sound and the one on their first album–The Yugos, which was listed on CityBeat’s 2011 Top 100 albums of the year in Cincinnati–is that they “finally learned to play our instruments.”

aganza on June 7 and 8 at Rohs Street Cafe, 245 McMillan St. in Clifton, but The Yugos aren’t playing that event because of contractual obligations. Before then The Yugos will stay busy playing every Tuesday night in April at The Comet, 4579 Hamilton Ave. in Cincinnati. They like playing at The Comet, not only because of the delicious chicken quesadillas, but also because of the way the performance space is set up. “I like the atmosphere there, and there’s no stage, so we’re on the same level with the audience. That makes it feel really intimate with the crowd,” said Jeremy. More information about their upcoming performances and other news is available on their Facebook page and at bestfriendrecords.com. They will also be recording their second album, “Life is Awesome and Then You Live Forever,” which is set to be released May 31. The upcoming album

Little bridges, big ideas

Close-up of Thomas McGrath's model bridge after testing at the Balsawood Bridge Competition at Northern Kentucky University.KAMELLIA SMITH FOR THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

Student learn at balsawood competition

How can such a light material hold such a heavy load? Some models break within seconds, others hold up much longer.

By Kamellia Soenjoto Smith TheCommunityRecorder@gmail.com

His bridge looks like the Purple People Bridge that stretches from Cincinnati to Newport, except it’s not purple and it’s much, much smaller, about the size of a loaf of bread. It weighs no more than a handful of leaves. That’s because it’s made from a very lightweight material, balsawood. The tiny bridge is straddling two classroom tables and is connected to a contraption with a bucket hanging from it. The boy pours sand from a bowl into the bucket. The bridge begins to bend, but he keeps pouring. Lots of sand now, and then “Crack!” His bridge is broken. The bucket is lifted onto a scale and weighed – 98.2 pounds, about the same as 12 gallons of milk. The bridge is the creation of Thomas McGrath, a sophomore at St. Henry District High School in Erlanger. He is interested in civil engineering and has come to Northern Kentucky University to test his handmade bridge at the Balsawood Bridge Competition. The challenge for students is to design and construct a lightweight bridge that can hold the most weight. Last year McGrath won second place in the competition. And he learned a lesson. “I used the same design but added more supports,” he explains. It took him nine days to build this year’s model. Some 200 students took part in the competition March 11, most of them from schools in Northern Kentucky. They prepared their own models with a wide variety of designs, all of them made from just balsawood and glue.

How can such a light material hold such a heavy load? “It requires a knowledge of physics,” says Dr. Ausbra E. McFarland, coordinator of the event. Some models break within seconds, others hold up much longer. Hunter Humphrey is trying

to make his bridge last as long as possible. Kneeling on the floor, he pours the sand into the bucket, little by little. The eighth-grader from R.A. Jones Middle School in Florence hopes this will help his bridge withstand the weight. “I saw the other bridges shake a lot when

the sand was poured in,” he says. “I believe that’s part of the problem of why they fall so quickly.” It’s been 30 minutes and he’s still sprinkling sand. His friends grab a chair for him to sit on. Jeff May, his teacher, stands next to him. “He’s al-

ways careful and meticulous,” May says. But finally his bridge fails, too. Humphrey has to accept that his model can’t hold more than 15.6 pounds. “I’m disappointed,” he admits. “But I know I can do better next time.” Humphrey is already thinking of going to engineering school. “I enjoy building things,” he says. The purpose of the competition is to introduce students to the world of design and construction. “We allow the students to test their bridges themselves,” Dr. McFarland explains. “That way, they get the chance to see the results themselves.” When all the figures are tallied Thomas McGrath wins first place. His model is even stronger than last year’s winning bridge which could hold “only” 89.4 pounds. McGrath shares this tip: “Support on the bottom is important.” The Balsawood Bridge Competition is hosted by the NKU Construction Management Department and is co-sponsored by Reece-Campbell, a construction company in Cincinnati. They provide all of the supplies. With this competition, Dr. McFarland explains, “The hope is that the students will better understand the construction world.”

FIRST RUN AT 2013 TRACK & FIELD

Kenton runners right on track By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Local athletes are on track this winter-like spring for strong performances. Here is a look at Kenton County teams based on known returners and information submitted by coaches. Some team information was not submitted before deadline. Dixie Heights boys: Steve Saunders returns for his 25th season as head coach. His top returners include cross country standout Max McGehee (distance), Bailey Harrison (pole vault), Brandon Johnson (shot put), Jackson Stanek (Hurdles) and Jacob Hartman (sprints). McGehee could break the school record in the 3,200 meters. “I have some good returning juniors and seniors from last year’s team, plus a very strong sophomore class that had to compete in varsity meets last year as freshmen and gained valuable experience,” Saunders said. “This should make for a stronger, more competitive team this season.” Dixie competes in the Kenton County championship April 2 at Scott. Simon Kenton girls: Sixthyear head coach Eric Kues returns most of his core athletes from last season. Top returners are Christina Cook and Mackenzie Hester. Cook was third in the state in the 400 and Hester is coming off a strong cross country campaign. Villa Madonna: Joe Cordonnier returns for his 13th year as head coach of both VMA programs. Eric Baugh returns as one of the top distance runners in Northern Kentucky. He was eighth in the state in the 1,600 last year. He should score well in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 this spring. Mitchell Day, Clay Jackson and Thomas Schutzman are other Blue Lightning to watch. In girls, Lauren Dumaine was third in the1A state meet in the shot put last year. Other leaders include Megan Barton in long and triple jump and Maria Blom in high jump. Others to watch include Allison Laber and Melissa Cunha.

Simon Kenton junior Mackenzie Hester, left, finished 130th in 3A. The Kentucky state cross country meet was Nov. 10, 2012, at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. JAMES WEBER/COMMUNITY RECORDER

St. Henry: Top returning athletes for St. Henry include jumper Craig Aldridge, versatile Austin Eibel, middle distance runner Robert Brockman, distance man Daniel Wolfer and field athlete Matt Martin. They accounted for five top-five finishes at state. Aldridge, a senior, is the defending state champion in the high jump. He placed third in the long jump. He won the indoor state title in the triple jump. Eibel, a senior, can compete in eight events. He was fifth at state in the 300-meter hurdles and sixth in the high jump. He won indoor crowns in the 60 hurdles and 400 meters. Wolfer is returning after a fifth-place state finish in the 3,200. Brockman was seventh in the 800. Both are back for the defending state champion 4x800 relay team. St. Henry won the 1A championship in both the boys and

girls competitions at the Mason-Dixon Games indoor high school state meet March 2 in Louisville. The girls 4x800 relay won with Sydney Pitts, Holly Blades, Elizabeth Hoffman and Taylor Connett. The 4x200 won with Laura Felix, Tina Felix, Lauren Cahill and Madison Culbertson. St. Henry was second in the 4x400. Meghan Burke was third in the 60 hurdles. Madison Culbertson was fourth in the 60. Tina Felix was fourth in the 400. Kathy Munzer was third in the long jump. Connett was third in the 1,500 and second in the 800. Holly Blades was fourth in the 3,000.

triple jump and 4x100 relay last year. CovCath returns state medalists Ben Metzger and Brian Menke plus multiple other state qualifiers.

Video opens new storytelling doors

As journalists our job is to stay in the background and report the story. But reporter Melissa Stewart got questions from an Army recruiter at last week’s Northern Kentucky Veterans Job Fair in Erlanger. What was that cool handheld device she was using to take pictures? Our reporters have had company-issued iPhones for a while. But a brand new piece of equipment called an “Owle” transforms the iPhone into a video camera complete with a tripod socket and a boom microphone. We just got our Owle, along with some video training, so you’ll see our reporters – Melissa, Stephanie Salmons, Amy Scalf, Amanda Joering and

Chris Mayhew – taking videos on a variety of topics. Stephanie has an insightful video this week about Civil War Gen. Nancy Daly John Hunt EDITOR’S Morgan’s esNOTEBOOK cape through Boone County.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t blame Erlanger for shortage of savings

I just read the article about potential savings being lost because the city of Erlanger chooses not to join the countywide dispatch. I am a resident of Erlanger and I am getting tired of my city being made to look like the “bad guy” in this situation. I hope that everyone reading that article can see what I saw. Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arlinghaus stated in the article that the entire proposed savings benefit of consolidation of dispatch services would only occur if there was only one center. The savings would most likely vanish if a county center would operate consolidated and if the city of Erlanger did not join in the consolidation. The savings would amount to about $4.5 million. I think that Judge-executive Arlinghaus and others owe the county a huge explanation. If the savings benefit were only applicable if Erlanger joined the consolidation, then why did they consolidate and add on to the center without a written contract/agreement from Erlanger? Why build and consolidate and then complain about the savings being erased just because Erlanger does not want to join? I know that our mayor, Mayor Thomas Rouse, and the council have discussed this, looked

at it from every angle, received input, etc.. and have decided to continue our own dispatch service. I am proud of our mayor and council for thinking of Erlanger. I am proud of our police and safety departments. Hey county, don’t come out and declare in the paper and blame Erlanger for a shortage of savings if you have known all along that a savings benefit was contingent upon Erlanger joining the consolidation. You knew that Erlanger was set on keeping their own services. The disappearing of benefits seems to be on you. Gregor A. Isaacs Erlanger

Ky. should abolish the death penalty

Maryland beat us to it! It became the first state south of the Mason-Dixon line to abolish the death penalty. May Kentucky become the second. The Bluegrass State could find itself among the other 17 civilized American states and the District of Columbia and most foreign countries, except for the likes of Iraq, Iran and North Korea, that have abandoned the barbaric practice. In these contentious political times, indeed even within parties, there is one thing all can agree on, murder is horrendous. Those convicted by due process may deserve the fate of the murdered in our imaginations but we deserve better than to

ABOUT LETTERS AND COLUMNS We welcome your comments on editorials, columns, stories or other topics important to you in the Recorder. Include your name, address and phone number(s) so we may verify your letter. Letters of 200 or fewer words and columns of 500 or fewer words have the best chance of being published.

become part of a killing machine ourselves. The death penalty solves nothing – the yearned-for victim is gone forever. The murderer warrants punishment and society needs to be protected. That is accomplished in Kentucky with life in prison without the possibility of parole. For those shocked by the cost of that longtime incarceration all studies point toward a higher cost if the death penalty is imposed because of the lengthy appeals process. And for those who would cut short that legality see the law books. Just last week a man in New York who had served over 20 years for a murder he did not commit was released when he and others on his behalf uncovered witness tampering and perjury at his trial. One may ask how this can possibly happen. It does. He was innocent but not before losing much of his life. A bow of humility at the miscarriage of justice and at the same time gratitude that the death penalty in New York has long been abolished are in order. A singular incident? Hardly. The Innocence Project has come to the aid of many wrongly convicted people, not in small part because of poor legal counsel and other egregious injustices like an over-zealous prosecutor. One former Texas governor who presided over a record number of executions during his time in office declared that all were guilty as charged only to be proven wrong after he left office. We are dealing with human life, no matter how degraded the behavior, and too many wrongful convictions. For the record, I am a murder victim’s survivor. A good and decent man, my brother was senselessly murdered by an unstable man with a gun. But that is a whole other subject, the weapons arsenal that the nation has become. Nancy Rowles Covington

Villa Hills doesn’t need police force Having been a resident for almost a decade, and serving on City Council for a term, where much of the debate swirled on whether the city should employ six, seven or eight police officers, the time has come to declare what should be obvious: Villa Hills does not need its own police force. Our public safety and law enforcement function can be better and more efficiently administered by joining with adjoining police units to protect and serve our residents. Our law enforcement budget is roughly $950,000 a year, a full one-third of our city’s budget. While law enforcement is an important part of our city’s responsibility – perhaps even the most important – we are not getting an honest value for our tax dollars. Our city and others in Northern Kentucky can do better and get better service. I commend the new City Council and Mayor Martin to act swiftly and transition our police department to a combined forces agency. Competent as he may be, Chief Dan Goodenough’s monthly police reports are an effort in reporting to make the police seem busy and overworked. But we are doing more work and responding to more calls in other cities than our own. Try as he might, additional officers just cannot be justified. The former mayor believed it, as does our current mayor. Like many things in public policy and politics, the Villa Hills Police has become a wedge issue. Just read the chief’s monthly report. It’s filled with confusing, redundant and often meaningless codes. I invite any citizen to review a monthly or yearly report. Being a Villa Hills police officer must be one of the most boring and unsatisfactory jobs in law enforcement in this or any other jurisdiction. Unless your goal is to punch the clock – figuratively not literally because an accurate time keeping system is not actually used – collect a paycheck, build a pension,

and go Christmas shopping with needy kids in December. My morale gets low just thinking James Noll about the low morale of the COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST Villa Hills COLUMNIST police. In 2011 we paid our detective and parttime building inspector more than $130,000 in salary and benefits while he was suing the city. In January 2012 he submitted an overtime bill, approved by Chief Goodenough, for an additional $90,000. So a detective and part-time building inspector in our city of Villa Hills earned more money in 2011 for doing his job than police chiefs and commissioners in cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco, not to mention Louisville, Lexington and Cincinnati. All the while suing the city and the mayor! So the games and financial unaccountability need to end and the police leadership needs to move on, up or out. By combining our law enforcement function – which I know we all agree is critically important – we would get more professional service at a better value. We are not going to lose our identity just because the words “Villa Hills” on the police cars is written in smaller type face. When’s the last time you saw an officer on bike patrol or foot patrol in Villa Hills? Would you like to? Do we need that? I don’t know, but a combined police force could do those things, using a county or area sector system with substations. Perhaps the current Villa Hills police station would be a substation? Perhaps with current technology it would not be necessary? There’s a lot of ideas to go around. But one thing is certain - Villa Hills does not need its own individual police force. James Noll is a former Villa Hills council member.

Quilts are the thread that binds

By Karen Meiman

TheCommunityRecorder@gmail.com

Inside the Boone County Cooperative Extension Office March 16, 15-year-old Olivia Sena sat in a chair, her feet crossed. Olivia, the youngest quilter in the packed room, appeared to mentally block out the bustle so she could concentrate on the stitches she meticulously placed into a daintily flowered pattern. It was a small section of her next quilt. “I love doing this,” Olivia said, never pausing to look up. “It’s really not as hard as you would think.” Nearby, Olivia’s mom Anita Sena chatted with passersby. Mrs. Sena loves quilts too and that has added an extra bond with her daughter. “It has really been a blessing,” Mrs. Sena said. “Quilting is something we can do together. We probably quilt together four or five times weekly, sometimes twice a day.” Mrs. Sena and Olivia were among thousands of quilting enthusiasts who came out across the country for the National Quilter’s Day Out March 16. The event is celebrated annually the third Saturday in March. Locally, in Boone County, the event, organized by the Stringtown Quilt Guild, drew hundreds. “This is an opportunity to raise the awareness of quilting,” the event’s chairwoman Jo Ann Abel, said. “There are so many artistic venues of quilting. There is lap quilting and clothing. You can use fi-

ber. The event is also a way to encourage young people about the artistic value of quilting. Quilts are a wonderful form of expression.” The national event actually has its roots in the Bluegrass state, added Abel. In 1990, the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society (KHQS) organized a “Quilters’ Day Out” on the third Saturday of March to celebrate the tradition of Kentucky quilting. Two years later, the National Quilting Association adopted Kentucky’s idea, making it a national event. The displays last week in Boone County were as varied as the attendees. Jennifer Myka was impressed with the “out of the box” creations that hung in the “This and That” section of the show, while Ken Gorz ventured inside to learn more about a hobby that has become his wife Lynn’s passion. “I am very impressed,” Ken said. “As an industrial engineer, I can appreciate the time and artistic ability it took to make these.” Mrs. Gorz’s quilt, “Orient Fantasy,” was one that hung on display. Across the room, 88-yearold Grace Robinson viewed the hanging quilts and said she was happy she made the trip across the river, while Mary Lynn Crail used her sewing machine to work on a bright wall hanging whose mermaid patterns were made of colorful threads. “It is called thread painting,” explained Crail, as onlookers gathered around. More of her “thread painting” creations hung be-

hind her. Grace Kronicz, of Burlington, was happy she had an event she could bring her granddaughter to see the artistic creations you can make when you learn to sew. Her granddaughter, 5-year-old Alaina Curran, of Florence, watched Pat Maley spin yarn from the cotton Maley grew at her home in Delhi, Ohio. “Seeing someone take an interest is what it is all about,” Maley said.

Desserts that help make Easter table special

As I write this column on the first day of spring, it’s snowing outside! Usually by this time we have our potatoes, early greens and radishes planted. We have to go along with the whims of Mother Nature. I hope each of you has a memoraRita ble and fun Heikenfeld Easter. As RITA’S KITCHEN I tell you every holiday, remember those who may be alone or who can’t get out. Send a card, make a call or invite them to your table to share your abundant blessings.

Rita’s fruited gelatin terrine

I like to make mine in a terrine, which looks like a skinny, longer loaf pan. A loaf pan works well, too. This is an elegant, easy addition to an Easter dinner. If you want, you can do all individual small bowls, molds, etc. For a smaller batch, just divide the

recipe in half.

4 cups mixed fruit (I use strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.) 4 packages unflavored gelatin (four 1⁄4-oz envelopes) 4 cups white grape juice, rose wine, etc. 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice

Arrange fruit in loaf pan. Set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over grape juice and let sit a few minutes to soften and “bloom.” Whisk gently and the gelatin should be incorporated, but not dissolved, into the juice. Pour into pan, and add sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and whisk until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Remove from heat and cool mixture, stirring occasionally, just to room temperature. Mixture should still be pourable. Slowly and gently pour enough mixture over fruit, just enough to cover nicely. This will set the fruit in a bit of gelatin so it doesn’t float.

Rita’s fruited gelatin terrine is an easy, fruity Easter dessert. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Chill until firm, about an hour. Pour remaining mixture over fruit (if it gels while it’s sitting, warm up a bit to melt, but let cool before you pour on). To unmold, dip pan in a larger pan of hot water for a few seconds to loosen. Invert a serving plate over terrine and invert terrine onto plate.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

Lower carb: Use a sugar substitute and sugar-free juice. Even easier: Use a light-colored prepared gelatin dessert, cook as package directs and follow instructions for layering fruit. You won’t need to add juice, sugar or lemon juice.

Ruth Roberson’s special pound cake

Remember the request for a buttery pound

cake like Whole Foods? I’m still working on a clone, but wanted to share Ruth’s pound cake recipe. Ruth, a Kentucky reader, told me: “I have a recipe that everyone loves. I use it for strawberry shortcake, a quick breakfast, or just as a great cake to have anytime. It is really easy to make and I have shared the recipe with many people. It’s a very old recipe, but it is delicious and very moist. Most of the remarks I get from people are that they love the little crunch on top and then the moistness that is inside.”

3 cups sugar ⁄2cup Crisco 2 sticks margarine, softened 1 ⁄4teaspoon salt 5 large eggs, room temperature, if possible 5 oz. can evaporated milk mixed with water to make 1 cup 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon lemon extract 1 teaspoon vanilla 1

Beat together sugar, Crisco, margarine and salt. Then add eggs, one at a time, beating until well mixed. Start adding

flour alternately with milk mixture. You should start and end with flour. Blend in lemon and vanilla. Pour into a large Bundt or angel food pan, which has been greased with Crisco and floured. Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Keep oven closed while baking. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Ruth said you could substitute 1 tablespoon vanilla butter and nut flavor for the lemon and vanilla. This may make it taste more like Whole Foods cake.

RAMP Fund helps riders with special needs Community Recorder

Employees of the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky and its Board of Trustees are making life easier for their riders with special needs. TANK’s Northern Kentucky Regional Area Mobility Program is the doorto-door shared ride service available to disabled citizens in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties who are unable to use regular routes or a traditional bus. “The fee for this important service is nominal, but it adds up quickly for

those who are on a fixed income and must use it frequently,” said Bryan Carlisle, TANK board chairman. To help address this challenge, TANK board members responded and provided personal gifts to launch the Project RAMP Fund. Shortly after its creation, TANK employees also contributed to the fund and are continuing to do so by payroll deductions. “Project RAMP now provides financial assistance to registered RAMP users who find it difficult to pay for their transpor-

tation on RAMP,” said Carlisle. In a presentation at TANK offices on March 12, seven RAMP riders received their official notification of extra financial assistance for RAMP services. Riders must qualify for RAMP under the Americans with Disabilities Act and demonstrate economic disadvantage. “These awards were made possible by a combination of funds from the generous TANK employees who see these riders every day and the leadership of the TANK Board,” said Cynthia Lawhorn Williams, CEO of the Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky, who officially presented the awards. Williams praised the TANK employees for their generosity and thanked them for being role models for the community. “When they could have looked the other way, they decided to help their fellow citizens. They are an inspiration for all of us.” The foundation will administer the Project RAMP fund, support the

application process and accept additional support and donations. Heritage Bank also generously donated a special fee-free account to collect funds for Project RAMP, ensuring 100 percent of donations are applied to the fund.

The next open application period will be May 130 for awards to be used the second half of 2013. Applications will be available April 15 on the TANK website. To learn more about Project RAMP or to make a tax-deductible donation,

All the crabgrass plants that grew in your lawn last year are now dead. However, their seeds and other crabgrass seeds in the soil will start sprouting in your lawn any time now … unless you have applied, or soon do apply, a crabgrass preventer pre-emergent herbicide. In a newly seeded lawn, you have to be more careful with herbicide selection and use, in order to prevent killing or damaging the new lawn grass you are trying to grow. Mid-March to midApril is the best time to apply pre-emergence herbicides for crabgrass control. These chemicals are applied before the weed seeds germinate. They prevent the crab-

Check product label for specifics, but many broadleaf weed killers cannot be applied to a new lawn until it has been mowed about four times; and if the herbicide is applied to weeds before over-seeding a lawn, you must wait several weeks before you can finally sow the grass seed. Check product label for restrictions. In established lawns where no overseeding is being done, you can kill broadleaf weeds such as Plantain, Wild garlic, and Dandelion with combination products containing 2,4-D.

Healthgrades America’s 50 Best Community Recorder

St. Elizabeth Edgewood has announced that it has placed among an elite group of U.S. hospitals: Healthgrades America’s 50 Best Hospitals. This is St. Elizabeth Edgewood’s seventh straight year to receive this award. To be recognized with this distinction, hospitals must have had riskadjusted mortality and complication rates that were in the best top 5 percent in the nation for the most consecutive years. On average, patients treated at America’s 50 Best Hospitals had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of death. To determine America’s 50 Best Hospitals, Healthgrades analyzed more than 150 million medicare hospitalization records from every

non-federal hospital in the nation. Hospitals must meet minimum thresholds in terms of patient volumes, quality ratings and the range of services provided. Specifically, hospitals were evaluated based on the risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates across 26 procedures and treatments, from hip replacement to bypass surgery. From 2008 through 2010, if all U.S. hospitals had performed at the level of A50B hospitals, 179,593 medicare deaths may have been prevented. In addition, Healthgrades ranks St. Elizabeth among the top1percent of the nation for overall clinical excellence, and St. Elizabeth Edgewood is the only hospital in Kentucky to receive this distinction.

appeared to those he loved after his resurrection. “Do not be afraid” (Matthew 28:10). We, as parents, who have teens and children living in such a crazy world need to hear this very message. How much better do you feel when you take a problem to a trusting friend or family member and they tell you it’s going to be OK? Jesus wants you to know that it’s going to be OK. “Peace to you” (Luke 28:36). It means so much more than the typical greeting this phrase holds today. When Jesus spoke it, it was an assurance, a promise that things would work out and he would remain with those he loved. Couldn’t we all use the assurance that we’re not going to be left alone? That when someone promises forever, they mean forever? Jesus wants you to know that you will never be alone. “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?” (Luke 24:38). Jesus re-

He was now standing before them, not as a spirit or as a ghost, but in the flesh (Luke 24:39). If He could do that, there should no longer be room for doubt.

This would cut your saturated fat intake by at least a half. If you do not like cow’s milk or are lactose intolerant, there are other options. Soymilk is lactose free and comes in various flavors such as vanilla and chocolate. Soymilk has protein and calcium, but has little to no saturated fat. Almond milk is another good alternative to milk. Some prefer this taste over milk and it has many health benefits as well. Soymilk and almond milk also keep longer unopened than milk. Once the container is opened it must be consumed in seven to 10 days though. Milk can be part of a healthy diet. Look at the milk you use and compare the health benefits.

Community Recorder

Influenced by the principles of Thoreau, local Kentucky resident Harlan Hubbard and his wife, Anna, chose to focus on the beauty and simplicity of nature and spend their days living off the land, playing music, and creating art. In his paintings, woodcuts and journals, Hubbard’s quiet wonder and reverence for nature are always present and often depict landscapes, riverboats and other natural scenes. Pieces from BehringerCrawford Museum’s collection of Hubbard’s paintings and woodblock printings, mostly donated by Hubbard in 1986, will be featured in the exhibit Harlan Hubbard: The Complexity of Simplicity on display March 15 through May 5.
