Linnemann Funeral Home continues to serve despite fire

FALL FOR ALL

BURLINGTON — The owners and operators of Linnemann Funeral Homes are no strangers to loss and mourning. The business has, after all, been in the family for six generations.

But when fire gutted Linnemann’s Burlington location, near the intersection of Ky. 18 and Ky. 237 on Aug.13, the feelings of loss hit close to home for those who operate the business. The experience, they say, was “surreal.”

The two-alarm fire brought four fire departments to the brick single-story building and closed Burlington Pike for about three hours.

“I think it’s probably similar to when you experience a loss,” said Marsha Linnemann, who owns the funeral home with her husband, Guy. “You’re in shock. I kind of had a numbness and a peace about it. It was a surreal experience.”

While it’s not the same as losing a loved one, John Gay, manager of the Burlington funeral home, said there is “a real sense of loss.”

They’ve had “two weeks of mourning,” the pair said from the parking lot of the Burlington funeral home.

PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY

By Stephanie Salmons ssalmons@nky.com

UNION — Preparations are underway for the city’s annual Fall for All festival.

Though festivities aren’t until Saturday, Oct. 19, the city is looking for volunteers, auction donations, crafters and more right now.

City events coordinator Karen Franxmansays this is the city’s fifth autumn festival, though it’s only the fourth annual Fall for All. The event expanded last year, but “this is a city event we see growing every year,” she said. » Festivities begin with the city’s second 5K Soldier Run/ Walk, which begins at Union Baptist Church at 8 a.m. Registration is 7-7:45 a.m.

The cost for those who register by Oct. 12 is $20 and $25 for registrations after that. Preregistered runners are guaranteed a T-shirt, and all others will receive a shirt while supplies last.

Proceeds from the race go to the city of Union’s Adopt-a-Unit program.

6Organizers are also looking for craft vendors for the Fall for All. “We want true, homemade crafters,” said Franxman. Organizers would eventually like

Highland Heights — The crash of falling pins and the roar of applause, punctuated by cheers, fills the dining room at the Campbell County Senior Center.

“We cheer for everyone. It doesn’t matter what team you’re on. If you get a strike, we’re going to cheer for you,” said Barb Usleaman of Alexandria. “We just encourage everyone. Your skills really don’t matter, just play and have fun.”

Usleaman said she and her late husband started visiting the center and sampling its activities when it opened in 2005.

They were among the first to

pick up Wii bowling when the center began the tournaments in 2009.

Wellness Coordinator Sarah Manhardt said the league started with three teams and has grown to seven, which cover Campbell, Boone and Kenton counties.

Manhardt loves to watch the bowling tournaments.

“I just enjoy it. It’s fun to see all the centers get together and interact. It’s fun to see them compete,” she said. “It’s just fun.”

Not every member of every team plays each tournament, said Usleaman. They take turns.

Sanders wants to be appeals court judge Justin A. Sanders, a partner at the Sanders Law Firm in Covington, has announced his candidacy for Kentucky Court of Appeals Judge in the 2014 election.

Sanders will seek the Sixth Appellate District seat held by Justice Michelle Keller before her recent appointment to the Kentucky Supreme Court. Sanders filed his letter of intent to run for the judgeship with the Kentucky Registry of Election Financ Aug. 7.

“As an experienced attorney who has tried cases both as a criminal prosecutor and a civil lit-

igator, represented common people in the courtroom in their fight for justice, Sanders and taken cases before the Court of Appeals and Kentucky Supreme Court, I think I am uniquely qualified for this position,” Sanders said. He was one of three attorneys nominated by the Kentucky Judicial Nominating Commission to fill the vacancy created by Keller’s appointment.

The senior centers take turns hosting four tournaments each spring and fall.

During a tournament, the high scorer in each division will take home a trophy – a miniature wooden bowling pin inscribed with their name and the tournament year – and each participating senior center will take home a trophy made from a real bowling pin, to mark its overall ranking.

time to cheer and to socialize.

“I’m here to socialize.

That’s my biggest advanpare for a visitation planned that evening, Gay received a call from a friend who urged him to “get here quick” because the building was on fire.

Gay, who’s been with Linnemann’s since 1989, hung up the phone “and I’m thinking maybe someone’s pitched a cigarette in the mulch. That happens every once in a while.” But calls from the sheriff’s department and fire department wanting to know if anyone was inside made him think otherwise.

“Then I rounded the corner and I saw it ... and it took my breath away.”

Burlington Fire Protection District chief Jeff Barlow said as of Aug. 28 the cause of the fire is still “undetermined and under investigation.”

There’s nothing, however, to indicate “anything suspicious,” he said At this point, Barlow said indications point to the fire being accidental.

Linnemann said she and her husband, who was shopping for a mission trip at the time of the fire, had the same reaction – “It’s a thing and it can be replaced. It’s not your loved one.”

The building did have memories in there, she said, like a grandfather clock from the original Linnemann Funeral Home

fun.”

Alexandrian Charles Sinning didn’t get a turn this time, either.

“Everyone gets a turn sooner or later,” he said.

“It’s fun to do something you used to be able to do for real and be good at it.

It’s also good exercise, and you get to talk to people and be friends and stuff.”

Alexandria resident Florence Clark likes to keep busy playing Wii bowling between tournaments. She likes to talk to people and support her team members, but that’s not her favorite part of the game.

Clark said, “I like getting the strike, of course.”

“These were some pieces in there that were irreplaceable, but again, it’s just things,” she said.

According to Gay, the funeral home is getting a temporary office set up at the site and they will be there during the demolition and reconstruction of a building, though plans haven’t been finalized.

That’s something he said they’re examining now, “what exactly has to happen,” he said There is a plan they want to use for the new funeral home and they’re “anxious to get going again,” said Gay. It’s their goal that a new funeral home will be ready to open by next Aug.

13, Linnemann said. “So we’re pressing ahead and trying to move as quickly as possible.”

In the meantime, however, Gay said several Boone County churches have volunteered their buildings for services and there’s still Linnemann’s Erlanger funeral home to use as well.

Linnemann says she wants the community to know they haven’t gone away.

“We’re still in business,” she said. “Our business ... it really is (one) of service. It’s not the building, it’s not the structures, it’s the service of serving you in the time of your loved one’s death.”

Library visitors increase

By Stephanie Salmons ssalmons@nky.com

BURLINGTON — The Boone County Public Library system had more than a million visitors during the 2012-13 fiscal year – an increase of more than 9 percent over the previous year.

According to information provided by the library on a fact sheet about fiscal year 2012-13, that ended June 30, 1.11 million people visited the library during that time period.

“I think that we are important in the community and the community wants

to make it a juried craft event, but they’re “not there yet.”

Cost is $45 for a 10-foot by 10-foot booth and $65 for a 10-foot by 20-foot booth.

Vendors reselling nonhandmade goods can get a 10-foot by 10-foot booth space for $100.

Race and crafter applications are available at cityofunionky.org.

us here,” said public relations coordinator Becky Kempf.

She was thrilled about the 9 percent increase, but wasn’t surprised.

The library, Kempf said, is “more than just books and information,” the branches are a community center and their walls are constantly full.

“We’re an integral part of the community.”

More than 1.75 million books, audiobooks, digital books, DVDs, magazines and video games were borrowed by the community and 104,274 people attended 6,441 library programs.

The reports says 767 community groups held 2,075 meetings in the library’s meeting rooms and nearly 212,000 people were provided internet access at the library.

Library staff answered more than 163,000 in-person, telephone and email reference questions and nearly 1.07 million visits were made to the library’s website.

According to a post, the library’s BCPL Undiscovered blog, the library system serves the fourth largest population in the state and ranks third in the state for the number of public services hours.

They can be dropped off at the Union City Building, 1843 Mt. Zion Road, Union. » Donations are needed for the Fall for All’s silent auction and raffle.

Organizers are looking for “anything,” Franxman said. » Raffle tickets are on sale for two Fall for All raffles at the Union City Building.

Tickets for a quilt raffle are $1 while tickets for a seven-day, unlimited-miles rental of a 2013 Toyota Sequoia or Sienna

are $10 each. Two tickets will be drawn for the rentals. » Organizers are also looking for volunteers to help with the race and during the festival.

For more information, to volunteer or to donate items, contact Franxman at unioncityevents@in sightbb.com or call the Union City Building at 859-384-1511.

The Union Fall for All is from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, along old Union Road.

Way’s a versatile threat for Conner

Ryle girls golf emphasizes teamwork

HEBRON — The U.S. Army All-American Bowl this January in San Antonio may be the last on-field highlight of Drew Barker’s career.

The Conner High School standout senior quarterback and University of Kentucky recruit will display his skills again on national television during that game. He won’t be alone in the home of the Alamo, however, as senior Andrew Way will be honored for his off-field success in addition to his role in helping the Cougars chase the Class 5A state championship this year.

Way is one of 10 national finalists for the Award of Excellence, which is co-sponsored by the Army and Pro Football Hall of Fame. The honor combines athletic achievement with excellence in academics and community involvement.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun down there,” Way said. “It’s going to be a real good time, going down there with Drew and meeting all those athletes who will be playing college football some day.”

Way’s favorite subjects in school are chemistry and math, and he is planning on becoming a doctor. Head coach David Trosper nominated Way for the national award. Way’s QB Barker is proud of the senior receiver/running back/defensive back, who is one of his best friends.

“We’ve been friends since diapers,” Barker said. “It’s good that Conner has someone playing in the actual game and then someone representing the academic side so it’s a big thing for our school and it shows how well-rounded we are as a school.”

Way is one of Conner’s key playmaking threats around Barker, filling the role of 2013 graduate Cameron Fogle. Way can take handoffs or catch the ball from a variety of formations.

The Cougars were in top form in their season opener Aug. 31 against Boone County, routing the Rebels 40-7. All the points came in the first half, as the game was called at halftime because of heat index concerns Saturday afternoon. Barker threw for 235 yards on just eight completions, and rushed for 162 yards, accounting for all six touchdowns.

Way was one of Barker’s touchdown recipients as four

UNION — Golf is a solitary sport as everyone knows, as a player just takes on the little white ball and the only defense is provided by nature and man-made obstacles such as bunkers.

Most competitions at all levels of the sport simply involve one player against the course. If it’s a team competition, it’s usually each player’s solo efforts combined with his or her teammates, and not a true synchronized effort such as five basketball players running a play together.

However, special events such as the ultra-popular Ryder Cup and many charity events have formats in which players truly work together to get things done.

On Aug. 26, the Ryle High School girls golf team brought those unique formats to Boone Links. Head coach Jeremy Thornton invited three other schools – Cooper, Notre Dame and Villa Madonna - for what he called the Northern Kentucky Team Challenge.

Each school had six competitors paired off into twosomes, who competed in one of three special formats over a nine-hole round. The scores of the three pairs were totaled for the final team tally.

Notre Dame won the competition with 112. VMA shot 116, Ryle 126 and Cooper 130.

Cooper’s Madison Smith and Cassiday Pressman won the best-ball part with a 33.

“It was something I wanted to put together for a couple of years,” Thornton said. “Almost all of the time the girls are always playing for individuals. We have a team score, but they play an 18-hole tournament all on their own or maybe in a match they have a teammate in their pairing. We tell ourselves that golf is a team framework and a way for people to get together, but it’s so much about the individual. We wanted to come up with a way to make it into a team sport, give them a chance to bond and work together.”

Ryle used the two standard Ryder Cup formats: Best ball, where both players complete the hole and only the lower score counts; and alternate shot, where the players take turns with one ball. The third format was the scramble, used in many charity outings, where both players hit their

different receivers had long TD strikes.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Way said.

“We’re lucky to have a quarterback like Drew and be on a team like we’re on. Drew is one of those quarterbacks that is going to show you how you’re supposed to do stuff. He won’t always be the guy who screams at you. He’ll lead by example.”

The quick start was exactly how Conner wanted to begin its 2013 campaign, which the Cougars hope ends with the Class 5A state championship.

“Coach Trosper said come

out and come hot,” Barker said.

“Last year we struggled with coming out and getting pumped up. It usually took us one quarter to start playing. Our offensive line was really playing with a chip on their shoulder. Everybody is telling them we graduated four linemen and only have one returning starter, they’re not going to be any good; everybody can blitz us. That really made them play with a swagger.”

Line play will be crucial as Conner takes on Simon Kenton this Friday in Hebron. SK is 2-0 after a 48-0 win over Holy Cross and is favored to win the local Class 6A district. The Pioneers have eight returning starters on defense.

The game will be a key early test for the Cougars, who play at Ryle Sept. 13 and host Campbell County Sept. 20 before traveling to South Oldham Sept. 27 for the 5A district opener.

Way and the Cougars plan on taking it one game at a time.

“We’re all really close,” Way said. “We’re a family. We care about each other and we want to see each other do good.”

own ball and then choose one of the balls to use for their next shot.

“They were allowed to talk and strategize together, which they’re not allowed to do in a regular match,” Thornton said. “I’m getting good feedback from the coaches and players. It was a nice change of pace. I would like to see other schools do that in the middle of the year and try it out for themselves. It’s something I want to keep on going on a yearly basis, break up the monotony of 18-hole tournaments and nine-hole matches.”

Thornton’s Raider team is young this year, with developing talent around junior Nadine Innes, who is a frontrunner for the individual regional title. She is averaging about a 74 this season.

“She is on top of her game,” Thornton said. “I don’t think she feels like she’s as low as she can go. She shot a 73 and was miserable doing it. It might be scary to see where she can go this season.”

Her eighth-grade sister Savanna Innes and sophomore Morgan Adams are experienced players who have been improving all year. The rest of the lineup are freshmen and younger and will be fighting for starting spots all season, Thornton said.

“We don’t have any seniors,” he said. “We’ll return a full roster so I’m trying to get as much experience out of these young ladies as I can.”

Ryle plays Dixie Heights Monday and then travels to play defending regional champ Owen County Tuesday.

MSJ football ready to put 2012 season in rear view

By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com

The College of Mount St. Joseph is eager to start the 2013 football season. When the Lions begin play on Sept. 7, the disappointing 2012 season will be completely behind them.

Last season, the program finished with a losing record in conference play for the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 2001.

Five teams finished ahead of Mount St. Joe in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference standings. The Lions’ 4-6 overall record marked the program’s first losing season since the winless 2001 campaign. The season ended with a 75-6 drubbing at the hands of rival Thomas More College in the Bridge Bowl.

“Coach Huber and the seniors don’t like talking about last year,” said senior punter Greg Tabar (Colerain). “We are excited to move forward.

We’re playing with a chip on our shoulder this year.”

This year’s squad is poised to bring Mount St. Joe back to its winning ways. It will be a challenge, as the Lions need to replace All-American running back James Clay and a host of other starters.

“A lot of spots are wide open,” said head coach Rod Huber as his team prepared for training camp. “We’ve got a lot of holes to fill.”

Sophomore Cody Meade will try to replace Clay, who led the nation in rushing with 212.4 yards per game in 2012.

Junior Jason Stinebaugh

is the most experienced quarterback on the roster and will compete with freshmen and transfers for the starting nod. He completed 21 of 64 passes with four interceptions and zero touchdowns as a backup in 2012.

win most jump balls thrown their way.

“We should be able to

get those guys the ball in the red zone,” said Huber.

The offensive line is led by senior Brandon Chapman and junior Brandon Keller. Senior safety Tyler Elrod leads the secondary, where he will be joined by new starters at both cornerback spots. Defensive end/linebacker Adam Bigelow (Anderson) missed all of last season with a knee injury, but returns as a fifth-year senior. Nosetackle Russell Turner anchors the defensive line. The linebackers are the most experienced and deepest group on defense, with Konnor Blevins and Garrett Breiner returning.

Several freshmen will be expected to contribute right away. They will bring athleticism and a positive attitude to a team that is eager to start

fresh in 2013.

“This is the most skillful freshman class we’ve had in my years here,” said Tabar. “As seniors, we are mentoring them in the little things, like how to get better in the film room.”

Tabar’s leadership on and off the field earned him national recognition in 2012, when he was named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and the Capital One Academic All-District Team.

This will be the fourth straight season he has started at punter for the Lions.

“He’s the best player on our football team,” said Huber.

The Lions open the season on Sept. 7 at Augustana College. Following a bye week, the Lions host conference foe Hanover College on Sept. 21.

Freedom Trail

» The Florence Freedom announced third baseman Jacob Tanis has been named as the Frontier League’s Most Valuable Player. Tanis, 24, was elected the Morgan Burk Award winner as the MVP by managers, coaches, general managers and members of the league’s media. Through 91 games this season, the Peachtree, Ga., native is fourth in the league with 17 home runs, and leads the league with 72 RBIs. “We’re so excited to honor Jacob as the MVP,”

Freedom manager Fran Riordan said. “He has been such a productive player for us both offensively and defensively.

He’s a great teammate and one of the most professional young men I’ve ever had the privilege to manage.”

The Freedom are trying to make it back-toback seasons with a postseason run. In 2012, the Freedom were league runners-up to the Southern Illinois Miners as the team fell 3-1 in the championship series. Should Tanis and the Freedom clinch another playoff berth, the most likely scenario for the team to play its first home game would be at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, at University of Cincinnati Medical Center Stadium.

Fortunately, the success that charter schools have with many of our nation’s most vulnerable children – those in danger of dropping out, selling drugs or who-knows-what on the street corner or, worse, landing in prison or the morgue – is not being lost on a constituency whose kids are falling through the academic and social cracks in our traditional public schools right here in Kentucky.

A new report by the nationally respected Black Alliance for Educational Options reports: » Nine in 10 black Kentuckians believe government should provide parents with as many choices as possible to ensure their children receive a good education. » Black Kentuckians are like their fellow whites in that the more they know about charter schools – particularly that they help give lowerincome black students trapped in failing schools more opportunities – the more likely they are to support

giving charters a chance in Kentucky.

This groundbreaking survey should help shut the mouths of those legislative lions who claim to represent the black community in the Kentucky General Assembly but who allege that their constituents don’t support – or aren’t interested – in charter schools.

But black politicians, who represent primarily Kentucky’s urban areas, would be wise to pay attention to a couple of other results from this survey: » Support for charters was highest among younger black

voters with lower incomes and fewer years of formal education; opposition was strongest among blacks with higher incomes and more years of formal education.

The good news here is that support for charters is highest among those families most in need of options; the sad news is that too many successful blacks ignore the fact that too many of our black students bear the brunt of a failing education system.

Successful black businessmen and women are in a position to help, but too often selfishly don’t.

Politicians who oppose charter schools for flimsy reasons might want to reconsider their claims to represent the truly needy in their communities. » There’s strong support for charters in each of Kentucky’s six congressional districts.

Reasonable Kentuckians statewide know our publiceducation system fails too many of our black and lowincome students – a demographic that tests between 21 and 30 points lower than their white affluent and middleclass peers.

It’s unreasonable – and simply unacceptable – for their representatives in Frankfort to ignore the need for real options any longer.

LONG DISTANCE COMMISSIONER

Herculean efforts by labor bosses at Kentucky’s teachers unions to convince lawmakers that charter schools are neither needed nor wanted in the commonwealth have succeeded.

Our commonwealth remains one of only eight states without charter schools – publicly funded schools operated differently than the traditional public schools.

For example, the principal of a successful charter school doesn’t have to check with some overpaid bureaucrat at the central office to determine if the union contract allows him to hire the bright young math teacher sitting in front of him instead of being forced to employ a hanger-on coasting toward a big taxpayerfunded pension who long ago lost interest in teaching.

Also, teachers at the nation’s nearly 6,000 successful charter schools can stay past 2:45 in the afternoon – without risking the wrath of the union boss or jealous colleagues – to ensure that Little Johnny doesn’t get pushed into tomorrow’s new lesson without having fully mastered today’s material.

Such refusal to go above and beyond teachers union contracts goes a long way toward Little Johnny becoming Big John who can’t read or do basic math but nevertheless is wearing a cap and gown at commencement time.

In fact, many teachers at successful charter schools run

When was the last time you picked up your Bible? If it wasn’t today, (or yesterday, or the day before that) you’re not alone.

Most of us bring our Bibles to church (maybe) and follow along with the sermon once or twice a week. But what about those of us that aren’t attending church on a regular basis?

When are we picking up ours?

Why are people choosing not to read what is still the No. 1 bestseller in America? For many of us the answers vary, but the top three are common to most of us: » The Bible isn’t relevant to my situation; it’s outdated. » It’s too hard to understand. » I don’t have time.

But what about the issues we face every day?

How are we Julie House coping with COMMUNITY the drug-adRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST dicted family member, the bills that are piling up, the spouse who won’t speak, the job we can’t find, and the kids who are growing up too fast?

You don’t have to tell me, I know. I fall into the “been there, done that” category. We relax and unwind on the weekends (and sometimes during the week) to numb the pain.

We shop until the stores are closed to forget the bills, and we eat the whole gallon of ice cream to cover up the loneliness.

Yet, when the weekend is over, what are we left with?

We’re left with a splitting headache, a new credit card bill, and an extra five pounds on the scale. As I said, “I’ve been there, done that.”

If you’re looking for a new coping mechanism, might I share with you what that dusty book says about your situation: » “The Lord hears his people when they call out to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”

(Psalm 34:17-18) » “In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. (Psalm 34:6) And if you’re wondering if these words can possibly benefit you, let me remind you what the Bible has to say about that. “All scripture is inspired

by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” In other words, God does not lie, and he does not waste his breath. What he says is important, true and life-changing.

So instead of happy hour tonight, how about you just hit the couch with a good book.

(And save the headache for when you’re helping the kids with their homework.)

LIFE

SEPTEMBER 5, 2013 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • B3

Easy lasagna, healthy homemade power bars When my kids were young our lives were busy, but nowhere near how busy their lives are now that they’re grown with families of their own. The requests I’ve gotten this week tell me a lot of you are in the same situation. Readers want Rita easy main Heikenfeld dishes RITA’S KITCHEN (pasta being the most popular) and healthy snacks. So here are two of my favorites.

Sausage lasagna using uncooked noodles For Darren, a Western Hills reader who saw a sausage lasagna recipe in a magazine at the doctor’s office. He said: “It called for uncooked noodles. I didn’t want to tear the recipe out, but it looked so good.” Here’s one from my files. There are special “no-cook” lasagna noodles you can buy. Leftovers can be frozen and microwaved

to reheat.

1 pound favorite sausage 26-32 oz. favorite pasta sauce 3 ⁄4 cup water 2 eggs, beaten lightly 11⁄2 pounds (24 oz.) cottage cheese 1 ⁄2 cup Parmesan 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each: garlic powder, dried basil and oregano 9 uncooked lasagna noodles 3 cups mozzarella

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook sausage.

Drain. Stir in sauce and water. Simmer 10 minutes. Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan and seasonings. Spread 1⁄2 cup meat sauce into sprayed 13-inch by 9-inch pan. Layer with three noodles, a third of cheese mixture, meat sauce and mozzarella. Repeat twice.

Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover, bake 10 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: Use a combo of beef and sausage, all beef or turkey sausage.

No-bake grain/gluten-free power bars

Daughter-in-law Jess found this on the Joyful Abode site. This is a protein-packed bar for kids and adults alike. Great for packing into kids’ lunch boxes, too and I like the fact that they’re grain/gluten free. I can never eat just one. I renamed the recipe to fit my slight adaptation.

and blend. Pour into sprayed 13-inch by 9-inch pan that has been lined with sprayed foil or parchment. Press mixture evenly into pan.

Press real hard so mixture sticks together. Put plastic wrap on top to make pressing down easier. Cool completely and cut into bars. Can be frozen up to three months.

21⁄2 cups favorite nuts and seeds (I used mixed nuts, flax and hemp seeds) 1 cup dried fruit (I used dried Michigan cherries, chopped) 2 cups shredded coconut 1 ⁄4 cup coconut oil 1 ⁄2 cup honey (I used raw honey) 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt Cinnamon to taste

Don’t have coconut oil, which is a healthy oil? I believe a vegetable or olive oil will work, it just won’t have that extra element of flavor.

Roughly chop 1 cup of nuts and seeds. Place in bowl. Process remaining nuts and seeds in processor, or by hand, to make a finer chop. Add to bowl.

Add fruit and coconut.

Pour oil, honey, vanilla, salt and cinnamon in pan and, over low heat, cook until it boils gently, then pour over fruit mixture

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Readers want to know “What channel is your cable show ‘Love Starts in the Kitchen’ on?” Watch it on Time Warner Channel 8 or 15.

Diluting concentrated fruit juices for kids: Younger kids, especially those in sports, may benefit from diluted fruit juice (make sure it’s got 100 percent vitamin C).

It’s easier to digest, will hydrate and provide energy. Use at least twice

as much water as is recommended on label.

From reader MaryAnn G. regarding the roasted tomatoes recipes: “I roasted several per your directions and raided my herb garden for basil, rosemary and oregano. After roasting I let them cool and removed the skin. After chopping them slightly, I tossed them (along with the delicious tomato broth) with some spinach tortellini and bacon. It made an amazing meal.”

Save in September with your library card

By Stephanie Salmons ssalmons@nky.com

BURLINGTON — A Boone County Public Library card can get you more than books, movies and other rentals.

During the month of September, a library card can also get you a discount or other perks at participating businesses around Boone and Grant counties.

The library systems in Boone and Grant counties partner each year with lo-

cal retailers during National Library Card SignUp Month “to promote the importance of having and using a library card and to reward customers who are already active users,” the library’s newsletter reads.

Public relations coordinator Becky Kempf said when she started the program nine years ago, there were 11 participating businesses. This year, there are 38 participating businesses.

To see a list of participating businesses go to www.bcpl.org.

The American Library Association had a similar program, but Boone

Tom & Jeanne Berger will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary September 7 with their family.

They live in Ft. Thomas, where they raised their children. Tom retired from CG&E, where he and Jeanne met and Jeanne later became a full time mom. Tom & Jeanne love the Smoky Mountains, their pets and enjoy spending time with their 7 grandchildren.

County, she said “took it a step further,” deciding to work with local businesses.

The idea, she said, “was we would get some publicity for the library and the businesses would get publicity as well.”

“In Boone County we like it because we love working with our businesses,” she said. “(This program is) one of the few ways we can do that.

We just want to let them know we appreciate them.”

The program serves as an opportunity to bring new customers into the library for the first time and increase new card

It’s also a chance “to promote goodwill within

our community by collaborating with local businesses and to thank our existing customers.”

could be accomplished by applying three pounds of ammonium nitrate (34-0-0), or 2.2 pounds of urea (46-0-0), or 10 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of lawn.

Once your soil reaches a high level of

phosphate and potash in the soil, you may not need to add more phosphate or potash for several years. When they are not needed, a single nutrient nitrogen fertilizer may be the most effective and economical choice. Too much phosphorus, potassium or lime can cause problems by interfering with the uptake of other nutrients.

One to three applications of fall and/or early winter nitrogen fertilization is best for fescues, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass because they grow best during cool weather. The turf develops a better root system, becomes very dense, and has much better late fall and early spring color if nitrogen is applied in the fall.

fertilizing soon. The soil analysis will provide an accurate recommendation for how much lime, phosphate, and potash your lawn needs.

Many lawns in this area only need nitrogen, and most don’t require lime. Phosphorus or potassium levels in the soil are often adequate, but the only way to know what your soil needs is to do a soil test. Take several random samples to a depth of 2-4 inches, mix these in a bucket, air dry, and then bring in two cups of the soil mix for testing. Test the backyard separate from the front-yard samples.

Although the soil test measures several important elements, it does not measure nitrogen.

Turf growth is highly dependent on nitrogen fertilization, but applying nitrogen at the wrong time or in heavy amounts may severely damage your lawn. A general recommendation is to apply one pound actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet for each application. This

Fall is the best time to fertilize established lawns. To maintain a Mike quality Klahr lawn, you HORTICULTURE should CONCERNS apply fertilizer every year in order to maintain turf uniformity, good green color, and reduce weed problems.

Vent Haven presents Double Talk Event serves as fundraiser and outreach project

By Melissa Stewart mstewart@nky.com

FORT MITCHELL — You see two personalities on the stage. You hear two voices. In ventriloquism, however, there’s really only one living being on the stage and they’re the only one talking.

Yet, your eyes and ears are fooled, said ventriloquist Tom Ladshaw of Taylor Mill.

“It’s also a bit of magic.

What you see is an illusion, but it’s not just visual, it’s an audio illusion,” he said. “The secret is that the ears are easily deceived.”

Ladshaw, a member of the board of advisers of the Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, has been dabbling in the art of ventriloquism for 48 years.

He started when only 5 years old.

“Ventriloquism evokes in everyone a little bit of their childhood. It’s one of those things that’s just in our DNA,” Ladshaw said.

“We respond to a puppet, an inanimate object that has life breathed into it.

It’s like the classic tale ‘Pinocchio,’ we want that puppet to come to life.”

According to Ladshaw, Vent Haven is focused on preserving and educating the public on these qualities of ventriloquism.

An area of the Vent Haven Museum pays homage to Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.

The museum’s caretakers are reaching out to the community next month by hosting Double Talk 2013, a family-friendly show featuring ventriloquist Ronn Lucas.

The show will be 3 p.m.

Sunday, Sept.15, at the Notre Dame Academy Performing Arts Center, 1699 Hilton Drive, Park Hills.

Lucas mixes stand-up comedy, improvisation and audience interaction with “astonishing” voice gymnastics, Ladshaw explained. He has appeared on and starred in national TV programs including The “Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “L.A. Law” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

“He is one of those guys that is capable of

connecting with every member of the audience,” said Ladshaw, producer of Double Talk. “Whether you’re 5 years old seeing your first show or a senior citizen, you’ll enjoy his performance. He gets right to the heart of the art form – he goes for the funny bone and touches the heart.”

The show will serve two purposes, according to Lisa Sweasy, another member of the museum’s board of directors.

The event serves as a fundraiser for Vent Haven, as a way to promote the art of ventriloquism to locals and as a way to raise awareness of the museum.

“Vent Haven is really a treasure, the only one of its kind in the world,” Sweasy said.

The museum houses more than 700 figures, thousands of photographs and playbills, and a library of books, some of

which date back to the 1700s.

It all started with founder William Shakespeare better known as W.S. Berger. Berger was a collector of ventriloquist memorabilia. In 1973, his collection went public with the opening of the museum.

The museum, living up to its name, is a haven for ventriloquists around the world, especially during the annual international ConVENTion that gathers more than 400 ventriloquists.

Between 900 and 1,200 people visit Vent Haven each year. However, “locally, not a lot of people come,” Sweasy said.

She and Ladshaw are hoping this event, the second annual Double Talk, will change that.

“There’s this feeling

that just comes over you when you walk in the museum,” Ladshaw said.

“I’ve been going for years and it still happens to me.

The museum offers an intimate connection. You don’t just learn about the ventriloquist, their puppet, and their act, but who they were and what they were about.”

Burlington Pet Hospital Joins Nationwide Effort to Improve Health of Dogs Morris Animal Foundation’s Golden Retriever Lifetime Study Will Identify Risk Factors for Development of Cancer and Other Diseases • July 24, 2013

Burlington Pet Hospital has become a participating veterinary practice in Morris Animal Foundation’s Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. This study is a groundbreaking effort to learn how to better prevent cancer and other diseases in dogs.

It is the largest and longest observational study ever undertaken for dogs, enrolling up to 3,000 Golden Retrievers and lasting 10 to 14 years. Although restricted to Golden Retrievers, results from this study will benefit all dogs.

“ ”

According to Dr. Michael Guy, director of the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, “Morris Animal Foundation would not be able to complete this study without the participation of dedicated veterinarians such as Drs. Ben and Yvonne Kordenbrock who will perform the examinations and sample collections required for the study.”

“Burlington Pet Hospital is committed to advancing veterinary medical research for the benefit of our patients, and our participation in this study is just one example of that commitment,” said Dr. Ben Kordenbrock, owner.

The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is part of Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Lifetime Health Project, a nationwide online community of dog owners willing to participate in clinical studies to learn how to better prevent and treat major diseases affecting dogs.
