ELSMERE — An increase inenrollment has the Erlanger-Elsmere School District consid-ering moving someHowell Ele-mentary students to Arnett Ele-mentary.

AccordingtoSuperintendentKathy Burkhardt, during the2013-14 school year, Howell hashad a 60-student enrollment in-crease.

“The increase with the en-rollment is just that – we havemore students enrolling atHowell and possibly more peo-ple moving to the area, whichare all good things,” said Burk-hardt. “Our enrollments canvary from year to year at our

schools. Howell’senrollment istypically around300. Right now,Howell can han-dle the numbers,but if they con-tinue to increasewe would need tomake changes.”

Burkhardt said the district isconsidering moving about 20students fromHowell toArnett,which has a current enrollmentof about 230. Students whocouldbe impacted include thosewho live:

Is It the Fountain of Youth for Aging Minds?Pharmacist of the Year Makes Memory Discovery of a Lifetime‘America’s Pharmacist,’ Dr. Gene Steiner, finds what he and his patients have been looking for – a real memory pill!

PAID ADVERTISEMENT

PHOENIX,ARIZONA —If Pharmacist of theYear, Dr. Gene Steiner, had a nickel for every time someone

leaned over the counter and whispered, “Do you have anything that canimprove my memory,” he would be a rich man today.

It’s a question he’s heard countless times in his 45-year career. He has seenfamilies torn apart by the anguish of memory loss and mentaldecline, a silent condition that threatens the independent lifestylethat seniors hold so dearly.

In his years-long search for a drug or nutrient that could slowmental decline, he finally found the answer, a natural, drug-freecompound that helps aging brains ‘think and react,’ younger.

Tired BrainsSnap Awake!

“It helps tired,forgetful brains to‘snap awake,” says Dr.Steiner.Before Dr. Steinerrecommended it tocustomers, he tried itfirst. “Within a fewdays, I can tell youwithout reservationthat my memorybecame crystal clear!”“Speaking for phar-macists everywhere,we finally have some-thing that we can rec-ommend that is safeand effective.And youdon’t need a prescrip-tion either!”

Feeding an Older BrainThe formula helps oxygenate listless brain cells to revitalize

and protect them from free radicals caused by stress and toxins.It also helps restore depleted neurotransmitter levels,

while feeding the aging mind with brain-specific nutrients andprotective antioxidants.

“I had such marvelous results with this memory pill that I notonly started recommending it to my customers, I even shared itwith other physicians!”

Pharmacy Best-Seller“It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and

customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.”Users like Selwyn Howell* agree. He credits the memory compound with

bolstering his confidence.“It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more

confident every day.”Carey S.* reports, “I feel so much more focused and with the new

energy I’m now ready to tackle the things I’ve been putting off for years!”Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New York experienced a night-and-day

difference in her mind and memory. At the age of 54, her memory wasdeclining at an “alarming rate.”“I was about to consult a neurologist when I read a newspaper article

about it.”“It took about a month for the memory benefit to kick in. Six months later,even my husband was impressed with my improved memory.And I am veryhappy with my renewed mental clarity and focus!”

“I highly recommend it,” says Dr. Steiner. “This drug-free compound isthe perfect supplement for increasing one’s brain power. If it worked forme, it can work for you!”

For years, pharmacists told disappointed patients that memory losswas inevitable.A new, drug-free cognitive formula may help improvemind, mood, and memory in as little as 30 days.

Pharmacist of the Year,Dr. Gene Steiner, PharmD,was so impressed with hisnewfound memory powersthat he recommended thepatented, prescription-freememory formula to hispharmacy patients withgreat success.

Wright is leading the de-partment.

Despite the controver-sy surrounding and scru-tinyon thecity’spolicede-partment, Martin doesn’texpect the search processto be hindered.

Had Goodenough beenterminated, Martin saidthe search then wouldhave been more greatlyaffected.

But since the chief re-tired, “I think people willbe much more interest-ed,” Martin said. He’s al-ready received a numberof calls and emails about

the position and has evenreceived a resume in themail.

Martin said hewouldn’t be surprised toreceivebetween50and75resumes.

Goodenough’s disci-plinary hearing came af-ter Martin filed a 64-pagecomplaint March 12.

According to the may-or’s complaint, Martinconcluded “that probablecause exists of inefficien-cy, misconduct (rude be-havior), insubordination,violation of the lawandvi-olation of city policies, in-cluding police depart-ment policies,” sufficientto seek Goodenough’s dis-missal.

The charges levied

against Goodenough bythe mayor were alsodropped.

Martin made the an-nouncement around 1:30a.m. March 25 after coun-cil members returnedfromanexecutive sessionlasting more than fourhours.

“As of tonight, I’veagreed to drop all chargesagainst Chief Goode-nough,” Martin said afterthe council returned toopen session. “Along withthat, Chief Goodenoughhas agreed to retire, ef-fective immediately.”

In January, Hansung Uni-versityPresidentShin-ilKangtraveled halfway around theworld formKorea to visitwithNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity President GeoffreyMearns and sign a Dual De-

gree Agree-ment that wasthe first of itskind for eitherinstitution.

The agree-ment will allowKorean stu-dents majoringin managementor marketing to

start theircourseworkat theirhome institution in Seoul andcomplete it at NKU, at whichtime they will earn degreesfrom both universities. It ex-pands an already strong part-nership between the twoschools and could serve as ablueprint for similar agree-ments.

“This partnership is an im-portant one,” said Mearns.“Dual-degree agreementssuchas this oneexpand theop-portunities for our students tostudy in foreign countries,and these agreements bringinternational students to ourcampus, thereby enrichingthe educational experiencefor all of our students.”

Kang was accompanied byJae-WhakRoh, dean of theOf-fice of Planning and ExternalAffairs at Hansung. Togetherthey toured the NKU campusand met with non-degree-seeking Hansung Universitystudents currently studyingat Northern on an existing ex-change program.

“The very fact that thepresident ofHansungUniver-sity and the dean of externalaffairs traveled all this way tosign this agreement speaksvolumesabout the importanceof it,” saidFrançoisLeRoy, ex-ecutive director of the NKUInternational Education Cen-ter. “This is not common. Thatis, usually when agreementsare signed, it doesn’t involveone president traveling half-way around the world to signit. We’ve grown to know eachother to a level – some of usare on a first-name basis now.It is a friendship as well be-tween the two schools.”

Through the Dual Degreeprogram, NKU is expected toenroll about fiveHansung stu-dents per year and cannot ex-ceed 10. This is in addition tonon-degree-seeking Hansungstudents, of which there arecurrently 17. Students in thenew program must completeat least 50 hours at Hansungbefore coming to NKU.

“This is a new way of en-gaging our partner institu-tions beyond the standard stu-dent and faculty exchange,”said LeRoy. “This implies avery high level of trust be-tween the two institutions.This is a high-functioningpartnership and it makessense that we should be doingthis with Hansung.”

Since the inauguration ofthe exchange program in2007, 59 Hansung studentshave studied at NKU and 15Northern students have par-ticipated in the Hansung Uni-versity Summer Program.NKU also has a partnershipwith Sookmyung Women’sUniversity in Seoul.

A different group of NDAathletes is attempting to put theyear 2014 in a banner on thegymnasiumwall.

The Pandas bass-fishingteamwill compete in theRegion2 championships Saturday,April5, atHerringtonLakenearDanville. Bass fishing is in itssecond year as an official sanc-tioned sport by the KentuckyHigh School Athletic Associa-tion.

The team has 28 membersthis year, up from six last yearwhen Pete Salkowski had theidea to start a program. Salk-woski, an avid fisher himself,approached the NDA admini-stration with the idea. The Pan-das competed in one tourna-ment in 2013, catching one fishtotal, but did not enter the post-season because the state meetconflicted with prom.

“The interest just blew upthis year,” Salkowski said. “Idon’t think anyone was pre-pared for that kind of interest. Ihad to draft some of the dadsinto becoming assistant coach-es. It’s a big undertaking for ev-eryone.

“I love fishing. My wholefamily is into fishing. We’ve

fished our whole life. I grew upwith it. I wanted to find away tosharea loveof thesportwith thegirls at Notre Dame.”

NDA is the only NorthernKentucky school registeredwith the KHSAA. The Pandaswill aim to qualify for the statetournament April 25-26 at Ken-tucky Lake in the southwesternpartof thestate.KentuckyLakeoften hosts professional bass-fishing tournaments.

“Our goals are mostlyto have fun and learn thesportof fishing,”Salkow-ski said. “The competi-tion is great, but I justwant them to have a goodtime.”

“The girls do all thefishing and tie the lures,”Salkowski said. “Theboat pilot and assistant

coach can suggest thingsand talk to them,but theyhave to do all the work.Everyone’s a volunteer.The parent involvementis just unbelievable.They are really behindthis. Most of our budgetgoes to the boat pilots topay for their gas.”

Northern Kentuckydoesn’t have a lake bigenough for a tourna-ment, but practices canbeheld inmanybodies ofwater, as the Pandaswork on their tech-niques. Keys to goodfishing include propertechniques of casting theline into the water, andknowing what types ofrods, reels and artificiallures touseatwhat times(livebait isnot allowed incompetition).

“It’s a skill like anyother sport,” Salkowskisaid. “It’s all about skilland technique, it’s no dif-ferent than servingavol-

leyball or hitting freethrows. It’s a newexperi-ence for a lot of them.They’re learning thetechniques and the ter-minology. We have somegirls who really knowhow to fish.We had a girlcatch the only fish shehas inher life. Itwasneatfor her to experiencethat. Something like thatcan hook you for life.”

Bass fishing on theopenwater can also haveother benefits for a so-cially active teenager.

“A rule in tourna-ments is you have to turnyour phone off,” thecoach said. “You can’t beout there on the phoneand it’s good to get themunplugged. They’re onthe phone so much, it’sgood toget out in theboatwith no contact.”

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS


In its second year as aDivision I program,Northern Kentucky Uni-versity’s baseball pro-gram measures itself inincrements of progress.

It could be a freshmanseizing his opportunity inlimited playing time. Itcould be words of encour-agement from an oppos-ing coach seeing theNorse play for the secondor third time. It could bean offense erupting for 13runs in a game, as theNorse have done twicesince March 19.

“We’re still hunting forconsistency,” said coachTodd Asalon, who led theNorse to eight Division IIregional tournament ap-pearances in his first 12seasons at the helm.“We’re still tinkeringwithour lineup and trying tofind the combination thatmakes us happy.”

Asalon’s 13th and 14thseasons have been morechallenging. NKU moveduptoDivisionIandtheAt-lantic Sun conference lastseason, and struggled.The program that aver-aged more than 36 winsper season in Division IIunder Asalon managed towin just eight games totaland three conferencegames in 2013. Already in2014, the Norse have wontwo of their six confer-ence contests. The pro-

gress is evident both in-side and outside the pro-gram.

The timing of the jumpto Division I coincidedwithan influxofnewplay-ers.TheNorsehavereliedon primarily freshmenand junior college trans-fers over the past seasonand a half.

Recruiting has alsobeen a challenge. As theNorse strive to buildpitching depth to keep upwith their new confer-ence foes, they have losttwo projected starters tothe Major League Base-ball draft and twomore toeligibility issues.

Junior Jordan Pro-cyshen (Holy TrinityAcademy, Alberta) andsophomores Logan Spur-lin (Loyola Academy, Ill.)and Cody Kuzniczci (Ma-

deira) have been leadingtheway so far in 2014. TheNorse entered April at 7-18, just one win shy fromequaling their 2013win to-tal. They closed outMarch with a 13-11 win atEast Tennessee State,hopefully creating mo-mentum heading into themeat of the conferenceschedule.

Freshman outfielderCaleb Kellogg startedplaying regularly andmade himself indisposa-ble, leading the Norsewith a .368 batting aver-age, .605 slugging per-centage, and .489 on-basepercentage despite start-ing just 11 games. TheNorse return home onApril 2 against Ball State,followed by a homeweek-end series with A-Sun op-ponent Stetson.

When I tell people I’m achildren’s librarian at the Ken-ton County Public Library whospecializes in early childhoodwork they usually ask me if Iteach babies to read.

That is not what we do at thelibrary. We teach children andtheir parents how to developearly literacy skills. Earlyliteracy is what children knowabout reading and writingbefore they can read or write.When children have strongearly literacy skills they willbe ready to learn to read.

To read, the whole brainmust be used and it takes a lotof practice to learn. Luckily, itis easy and fun to developearly literacy skills in youngchildren. Everyday activitieslike talking, singing, playingand of course, reading, all

work togetherto help yourchild be readyto learn to readwhen the timecomes. Hereare a few waysto help thechildren inyour life be-come readers.

» Talk withthem. Not justnear them.

Make eye contact and givethem time to respond. Whenyour baby or toddler makesany noise in response reactpositively.

» Actively play with yourchildren. There is no gadgetbetter than an engaged adult.Peek-a-boo, pretend play,blocks, trucks, and (my favor-

ite) enjoying the outdoors allhelp your child develop a widevariety of early literacy skills.

» Share music with yourchildren. Music can build fam-ily bonds while developingseveral key early literacyskills. Sing, listen to musictogether, and don’t forget todance!

» Read every day. If yourchild can’t or won’t sit still fora book don’t worry. They canlisten while they are moving.My son learned to walk anddidn’t sit down for a book untila year later and he had growninto a strong reader. You alsodon’t have to read all at once.Little moments count too –waiting in the grocery line,during bath or meal times andwaiting rooms are perfectplaces to use books. Don’t for-

get, there is always story time!» Show your children our

world. Point out the colors,shapes, letters and patternsthat surround us. Pretty soonthey will be pointing it all outto you!

It’s also important that chil-dren have positive early expe-riences with books. The libraryis hosting the annual EarlyChildhood Literacy Fair onSaturday, April 5, from10:30a.m.-1:30 p.m. at our CovingtonBranch. This is a great oppor-tunity to engage your childrenin books through songs, playand stories. The fair is fundedby the Kenton County Commu-nity Early Childhood Council.

At the fair you will find afamily photo booth so you canremember the day, entertain-ment from Cincinnati Circus,

great information for a varietyof agencies and companies andat 1 p.m., a family concert withZakMorgan.

The Contemporary ArtsCenter and the Cincinnati Mu-seum Center will also be onhand providing activities. Thefirst 300 children will receive afree book and there are plentyof other trinkets for childrento collect while parents arepicking up information. Chil-dren under 36 months cancomplete a developmentalscreen with their parents forspecial prizes.

Amy Schardein is the early child-hood literacy librarian for the Ken-ton County Public Library. For in-formation, call 859-962-4060 or go towww.kentonlibrary.org/children.

Horseshoe Cincinnati isproud to participate in EarthHour once again by turning offour 80-foot marquee sign, ourmain entrance chandelier andnon-essential exterior lighting– according to Kevin Kline,Horseshoe Cincinnati generalmanager, in the CincinnatiEnquirer, Saturday, March 29.From 8:30 to 9:30 P.M. on Sat-urday, April 5, Horseshoe’sexterior goes dark, and FifthThird bank will shut off light-ing in 20 buildings in sevenoffices.

Back in the day, starting in1970, some of us observedEarth Day, according to EarthDay Network, www.earth-day.org/earth-day- history-movement:

At the time, Americanswere slurping leaded gasthrough massive V8 sedans.Industry belched out smokeand sludge with little fear oflegal consequences or badpress. Air pollution was com-monly accepted as the smell ofprosperity. “Environment” wasa word that appeared moreoften in spelling bees than onthe evening news.

Although mainstreamAmerica remained oblivious to

environmentalconcerns, thestage had beenset for changeby the publica-tion of RachelCarson’sNewYork Timesbestseller“SilentSpring” in1962. The bookrepresented awatershed

moment for the modern envi-ronmental movement, sellingmore than 500,000 copies in 24countries.

The idea came to Earth Dayfounder Gaylord Nelson, thena U.S. Senator fromWisconsin,after witnessing the ravages ofthe 1969 massive oil spill inSanta Barbara, Calif. Inspiredby the student anti-war move-ment, he realized that if hecould infuse that energy withan emerging public conscious-ness about air and water pollu-tion, it would force environ-mental protection onto thenational political agenda.

Earth Hour is good as well.It signals the inclusion of big-watt-user participation like thecasino and the banks. Maybe

some day, the Colonial Sussexbuilding in Crestview Hills,whose lights glare above wood-ed ridges all night, every night,will join in. Could, possibly, ourregion’s many night-lit churchfacades observe Earth Hour?

Earth Day often occurswhile I am celebrating Lent.Most mornings, I light a candleand sit drinking a mug of cof-fee, owing Duke Energy forthe pleasure. Somemornings Idon’t flick on the CFC lightbulb to see the day’s psalmsand readings, but take the bookover and stand in the east win-dow’s light. The practice prac-tically has no more objectivevalue than my childhood fastsfrom candy. Both fasts bite alittle. I’d rather remain sittingon the love seat than stand andshare desk-space with thesnoozing cats. But psycholog-ically, it shifts awareness togratitude and wiser use of allpossibilities of light, and it, likeour household’s membership inSierra Club and Nature Conser-vancy, is offered as a littleparticipation.

Need a friend? Get a dog!That’s good advice for

seniors, as many studies haveshown that pets can help theelderly live longer, healthierlives. Walking a dog keeps asenior active, petting a cat ordog lowers blood pressure,having a pet companion re-

duces stressand loneli-ness.

But whathappenswhen a sen-ior has trou-ble takingcare of thatfour-footedbest friend?Lack of mon-ey and trans-portationmay keep the

pet from getting proper med-ical care. A senior may not beable to afford pet food – andmay be forced to share his orher limited “people food”with a pet.

Even worse, what happenswhen a senior passes away,leaving behind a beloved cator dog?

Dan Evans, director of theKenton County Animal Shel-ter, is very aware of the prob-lem of seniors who lack themeans to properly care fortheir pets. The shelter reg-ularly gives dry pet food toSenior Services of NorthernKentucky’s AniMeals Pro-gram. AniMeals providesfree pet food to low-incomeseniors as part of the SSNKSeniors-Only Food Pantry.SSNK case aides also bringpet food to some of theirhome-bound clients.

But finding a new homefor a pet when the elderlyowner can no longer care forit is more difficult. Too manytimes, the pet will end up inan animal shelter. In North-ern Kentucky, the countyanimal shelters must disposeof unwanted animals, al-though there are some no-killshelters and pet rescue or-ganizations in southern Ohio,such as PAWS Adoption Cen-ter in Middletown.

SSNK Social Service caseaide Dan Baker recentlyfaced this dilemma with aclient whose sole companionis a 95-pound sheepdog mixnamed Skyler. Bob is 74,

nearly deaf and confined to awheelchair. He can’t leave hishouse in Erlanger and re-quires meals and housekeep-ing services. Like many iso-lated seniors, Bob has nofamily support and limitedcontact with neighbors.

Bob recently had to spenda week in the hospital, andDan found a kennel to carefor Skyler. But Bob facesmore medical and financialissues, and may need to entera nursing home.

What will happen to Skyl-er?

Fortunately, Dan Evanssaid the Kenton County shel-ter doesn’t see many petsbeing abandoned by elderlyowners. “Families seem tofeel an obligation to care forgrandma’s cat or dog aftershe passes away,” he said.

SSNK’s Dan Baker isworking to find a new homefor Skyler but sadly the op-tions are very limited for a5-year-old, nearly 100-poundmutt. Dan’s also worriedabout how Bob will deal withthe loss of Skyler.

I’ve already gonethrough one batch of myhomemade yogurt andhave another batch “culti-vating” on my counter.

We eat yogurt year‘round,butespeciallydur-ing Lent, when it tops myvegetarian lentils and

rice. Theyogurt rec-ipe is toolong to in-clude here,but you’llfind it, withstep-by-step pho-tos, atAboutea-ting.com.The recipe

I’m sharing today may bean unusual recipe to someof you. Called mujadarah,it’s a dishwegrewupwiththat evokes fond memo-ries ofmymomwrappingher jar of homemade yo-gurt in towels to keep itwarm enough to inocu-late.

Mujadarah/Lentilswith rice and cumin

Go to taste on season-ings. Some people like tostir in some of the cookedonions into the lentils andrice.

3 very large yellow onions1⁄3 cup olive oil1 cup whole brown lentils11⁄2 cups long grain rice5 cups water1 to 2 teaspoons cuminSalt and pepper to tastePlain yogurt or tzatziki(cucumber and yogurtsalad)

Chopped greens (optional)Sprinkle of cayenne pepper(optional)

Slice onions and cook,

covered, over mediumheat, in oil until caramel-ized/dark brown. You’llstart out with a lot butthey will cook down con-siderably. What happensis the onions’ natural sug-ars come to the surfaceand create a carameliza-tion, making them tastesweet.

Combine lentils, 1 tea-spoon cumin, salt and wa-ter in pan. Cover, bring toboil and cook over medi-um heat, covered, untillentils are half cooked,about10minutes.Addriceand simmer, covered, un-til rice is cooked, about 20minutes. Water should beabsorbed but, if not, drainoff. Adjust seasonings. Toserve,putonionsovermu-jadarah and garnish withyogurt and greens.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If using brown rice,check package directionsfor liquid and time need-ed.

Lentils help lower cho-lesterol, stabilize bloodsugar and contain proteinand B vitamins.

Crockpot breakfastegg and sausagecasserole

No dry mustard?Leave it out. Go lightlywhen you sprinkle saltand pepper on. Turn thison before bed and it willbe ready to eat Eastermorning.

I like to thaw the hashbrowns a bit, but the East-ern Hills reader whoshared the original recipesaid he “just pours themstraight from the bag.”

Here’s my adaptation.

2 pounds frozen shreddedhash browns

1pound sausage, cookedand crumbled

1bunch green onions, finelysliced, both white andgreen parts

1 pound shredded cheese12 eggs1⁄3 cupmilk1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustardSalt and pepper

Spray 6-quart slowcooker/crockpot. Layer 1⁄3potatoes on bottom, sprin-kle with salt and pepperand top with 1⁄3 sausage,sprinklewithsaltandpep-

per, add 1⁄3 onions andcheese, sprinkle with saltand pepper. Repeat layerstwo more times, endingwith cheese. Whisk eggs,milk, garlic powder andmustard. Cook on low 6-8hours or high 4-5.

From readers’kitchens

Bridgetown FinerMeats turkey salad. I en-joy chatting with RichardHoehn andBrianBrogranabout their famous turkeysalad.

For years, readershaveaskedmeforaclone.And for years, I get thesame answer: a chuckled

“no.” I respect that thisrecipe isproprietarybutawhileback, a readerwant-ed it to send to her daugh-ter in theNavy, hoping thechef there could recreatewhatwas her favorite tur-key salad from home.Bridgetown softened upand gave me ingredients,but no amounts. They sella whopping 300 pounds ofit a week andmake it sev-eral times so it’s always atthe peak of freshness.

I sent the informationto Embeth B., who thensent it to her daughter.The reply I got was this:“With your help, a recipefor a ‘close second’ was

created and our daughterin the Navy says to her ‘ittastes like somethingfrom home’!”

Of course it’s not thereal deal, but closeenough for her daughtertoenjoya tasteof theWestSide a long way fromhome.
