ARBOR DAYEVENTS B1

The Brighton Center isreaching out to the communityin hopes of getting enoughvotes to win $20,000 to helpwith their efforts to addresschild hunger in the area.

Through Walmart’s Fight-ing Hunger Together initia-tive, the center is in the run-ning for one of 100 availablegrants.

Winners from around thecountry will be selected basedon who has the most votes onFacebook throughout April.

“We are always looking atthe needs in the community,and we’re seeing hunger con-tinuing to increase,” said BearClifton, thecenter’sdirectorofdevelopment. “In Newportalone, about 1 in 3 children ex-perience hunger every day.”

Clifton said through thecenter’s emergency food pan-try, they do what they can tohelp those in need throughoutNorthern Kentucky, but thegrowing need makes it diffi-cult, especially in the summer.

In Newport, Clifton said 89percent of students receivefree or reduced meals atschool.

During the summer, par-ents often struggle to affordenough food to provide threemeals a day, Clifton said.

Using the grant money,Clifton said they plan to start anew Rise and Shine Mealtime

Challenge this summer.The funds will be used to

purchase nutritious, low-costingredients for the pantry andprovide education on how tomake the best meals possiblewhilemaking food last, Cliftonsaid.

The focus will be on nutri-tious breakfasts, since it is themost important meal of theday, said Family Center Direc-tor Talia Frye.

Frye,who oversees the cen-ter’s pantry, said she oftensees singleparents come in forhelp during the summer thatshe doesn’t see the rest of theyear.

“These people are reallystruggling to make ends meetwhen their kids are out ofschool and home for threemeals a day,” Frye said. “Thisgrant would help us meet acritical unmet need in ourcommunities.”

Frye said part of the grantmoney would also be used topurchase more refrigerationfor the pantry.

Currently, Frye said theyonly have one refrigerator touse in the pantry, whichserved more than 10,000 peo-ple last year.

While it’s a positive thingthat thecenter is starting to re-ceive more and more dona-tions of fresh produce, Fryesaid they don’t have the refrig-eration space to store it andmake it last throughout theweek, so they have to give isaway quickly.

Those interested in votingcando so once per day throughApril 30 through the linkon theBrighton Center's Facebookpage.

PLAY TIME IN TOWER PARK

Fort Thomas resident A.J. Blevins, 3, spends a sunny afternoon playing at Tower Park Sunday, April 7.AMANDA JOERING/COMMUNITY RECORDER

FORT THOMAS — Work is un-der way on a project meant toimprovethesafetyandappear-ance of the entrance to FortThomas’s Tower Park.

After residents of TowerPlace, the street locatedacrossfrom the park’s South FortThomas Avenue entrance,brought safety concerns to theattention of city officials, staff

began looking at ways to im-prove the intersection, saidGeneral Service Director RonDill.

“This is a highly visible andhighly utilized part of ourcity,” Dill said. “We are work-ing to provide a higher level ofsafety in this area and incorpo-rate the design aspects of therecent streetscape improve-ments in the Midway district.”

Dill said as the main en-trance to the park, the inter-

section has a lot of vehicle andpedestrian traffic, and cars of-ten drive on the curb lane topass those waiting to turn intothe park, possibly putting pe-destrians walking to and fromthe park at risk.

As part of the project, thecity is eliminating the curblanes near the entrance by in-stalling bump-outs, bringingthe sidewalk and curb furtherinto the street on both sides.

Dill said the bump-outs will

restrict that part of South FortThomas Avenue to two lanes,minimizing the safety issuescaused by cars trying to passeach other near the crosswalks.

In terms of the streetscapeimprovements, the city will beinstalling pavers, cobblestonetumblers and new light posts,like those found in theMidwaydistrict, throughout the area.

To accentuate the area infront of the tower, Dill saidcrews are extending the plaza

area out another 6 feet and do-ing streetscape and landscapeimprovements.

The project started at theend of March with work on theutilities in the area, and Dillsaid it is expected to be com-plete in about four weeks.

Throughout the project,Dill said there will be timesthat the entrance to the parkwill be closed and traffic willbe diverted to one side of thestreet or the other.

MELBOURNE—College biology profes-

sors will lead Earth Daytours Sunday, April 21, atSt. Anne Convent in Mel-bourne where a 50-acrewoodland is in theprocessofbeingpreservedusingaconservation agreement.

The property, immedi-ately behind the formerhistoric convent buildingsand cemetery for mem-bers of the Congregationof Divine Providence, isthe second natural areathe sisters have pre-served. The preserve iscalled St. Anne Wood-lands. The congregationforged an agreement in2008 to conserve the 100-acre St. Anne WetlandsacrossKy. 8 from the con-vent along the Ohio River.

The Campbell CountyConservationDistrict is inthe process of buying the50-acres ofwoods the con-gregationhasownedsince1908, to preserve it forev-er through a conservationagreement, said Sr. MaryJoHummeldorf, C.D.P.

Thepropertyhasaboutsix or seven trails throughthe woods, Hummeldorfsaid. Wooden pedestrianbridgesmadeby a formermaintenance worker forthe congregation crossover a creek, she said.Members of the congre-gationhaveused the trailsfor years, Hummeldorfsaid.

Hummeldorf saidEarth Day tours are achance for people to seethe trails, and what is be-ing preserved, for them-selves.

“Wewantpeople toseenature’s beauty,” shesaid.

The tours will be of-feredbythreeprofessorsfromNorthernKentuckyUniversity and one fromXavier University.

Walking along the for-est trails March 28, thefour professors kneltdown and pointed out dif-ferent types of plantsthey found including awater leaf, spice bush,and a plant from the cab-bage family called denta-

ria or toothwort.The forest is probably

about 100 years old, andalso provides a habitat forlarger animals, said Stan-leyHedeen, emeritus pro-fessor of biology at Xavi-er.

NKU biology studentshavealreadybeencomingto thewoodland for sever-al years, said Kristy Hop-fensperger, assistant pro-fessorofbiologyandenvi-ronmental sciences.

Nesting boxes forchickadees are part of anongoing bird researchproject, and an ecologyclass has conducted astudy of how earthwormspecies vary in differenttypes of soil conditionson the property, Hopfen-sperger said.

The forest has lots oflarge beech and tulippoplar trees, said RickBoyce, professor of biol-ogy and director of theenvironmental scienceprogram at NKU.

“It’s a mature, undis-turbed, forest,” Boycesaid. “Manyof the flowerswe’re going to see here,they really need that habi-tat.”

“You don’t have to goout to the Rockies or themountains to see beauti-ful things,” Boyce said.“There are beautifulplaces here in your back-yard.”

ALEXANDRIA—Asroadconstruction seasonnears, Campbell Countywill also be inspecting all71bridges and culverts oncounty roads to find anynecessary fixes.

Campbell County Fis-calCourtunanimouslyap-proved a contract withEmerson Richmond, ELRBridge Inspection to in-spect all bridges and cul-vertswithspansof20-feetor less.

The contract cost is$14,500. The last similarinspection performedwas in 2008.

The Kentucky Trans-portation Cabinet inspectseverything over 20-feet inlength annually, saidCampbellCountyAdminis-trator Robert Horine.

Statebridge inspectorsfound the old CaliforniaCrossroads bridge dam-aged in two places in Jan-uary 2012, Horine said. A

previous story in TheCommunity Recorder de-tailed how a new Califor-niaCrossroadsbridgewillbe opened this March.

The inspection of thesmaller bridges and cul-verts on county roads willresult inanewpriority listfor replacements and re-pair, he said.

“With our bridgeswe’ve never had anythingthat catastrophic,” Ho-rine said.

A matching grant pro-gram from the state haspaid for replacement andrepair of one countybridge in each of the pastfour years, he said.

Last year, a bridge onUhl Road between SilverGroveandColdSpringwasreplaced in August with amatching grant where thestate paid 80percent of thecost, Horine said.

Most of the small coun-tybridgescost $100,000orless to replace, he said.

State rural roadprojects

The TransportationCabinet has also releasedrecommendations to thefiscal court for $565,000in Rural Secondary(Road) Program con-struction projects for the2013-14’ fiscal year start-ing in July, Horine said.

The recommendedstate road projects are:

» Resurfacing FlaggSprings Pike (Ky. 10) for1.93-miles from FlaggSprings bridge (mile 11.6)

toward the PendletonCounty border line (mile13.6) at an estimated costof $116,220. The road waslast resurfaced in 2006.

» A separate project toresurface Flagg SpringsPike for 0.6 miles frommile 13.6 to mile 14.2 at anestimated cost of $36,300.The road was last resur-faced in 2005.

» Resurfacing TwelveMile Road (Ky. 1566) for1.8-miles between Ky.1997 and Ky. 8 at an esti-mated cost of $100,450.

» Resurfacing WesleyChapelRoad (Ky.1121) for2.9-miles from Ky. 10 tothe California Crossroadsat an estimated cost of$161,865.

» A 310-foot slide re-pair on Painter road fromKy.1566 toKy.8estimatedto cost $101,800.

»Guardrail installa-tion is planned for twosections of StonehouseRoad (Ky. 1997) includinga 408-foot span atmile1.5,anda432-foot spanatmile4.4. A 720-foot guardrailwill also be installed onPond Creek Road (Ky.1936) at mile 3.45.

In the past four yearsthe state has also offeredto let all counties keep 20percent of the county’sstate Rural Secondaryfunding allocated to thecounty, Horine said.

This year, the statechanged the policy andbased how much a countywas eligible to receive onwhat kind of shape thestate roads in the countywere in. Counties withstate roads in good condi-tion were eligible for 20percent. The percentagefellto15percentifthestateroads were in moderatecondition,andto10percentif the state roads were onthe“negativeend,”hesaid.

“Thisyear theysaidwecould keep 10 percent forcounty roads,” Horinesaid.

The county revived it’sown road program in 2012and spent $455,000 onroads, Horine said.

MENTOR — As a gaso-line fire spread insideMentor resident AndyScholefield’s garage Feb.8, a fire extinguisher pro-vided by the city commis-sion saved the day and hishouse.

Mentor City Commis-sion issued Scholefield anew fire extinguisher atthe conclusion of theTuesday, March 19, meet-ing inside the EasternCampbell Volunteer FireDepartment. The citygave every resident asafetykitwithafireextin-

guisher, smoke detector,carbon monoxide detec-tor and weather alert ra-dio last Christmas.

Campbell County FireDistrict No. 1 Chief GregBuckler said firefighterswere dispatched to Schole-field’s home at about 10:30p.m. because of a car fireinside of a home garage.

“Beforeour first engineshowed up on the scene,the property owner had al-ready used an extinguish-er,” Buckler. Buckler saidthe city’s investment hasalready paid for itself. Notonly was a car fire put outby the city’s extinguisher,but a structure fire and

possibly loss of life wasprevented because the ga-rage is attached to thehouse, he said. Bucklersaid Scholefield’s wife,Amanda,stoodatthereadywith another fire extin-guisher the family had atthe house.

Scholefield, who at-tended the meeting withhis 6-year-old son, Gavin,said he was working on acar inside the garagewhen the fire started.

The safety kit with thefire extinguisher hap-penedtobeclose to thega-rage, he said.

“So, that was the firstone we grabbed,” Schole-

field said. “And it was asmall extinguisher, but itmanaged toputoutagaso-line fire.”

Scholefield said hewaswelding an exhaust on acar and did not realizethere was a leaking fuelrail.

“So, apparently vaportraveled underneath thecar,” he said. “As soon as Iwent to strike an arc onthe exhaust it just flashedback and under the hoodwent on fire.”

Joe Stambush, the pub-lic education officer forthefiredistrict, saidwhenhecalled theNationalFireProtection Associationabout what Mentor did,they had not heard of acity giving out an entireemergency kit.

The fire district al-ready gives out smoke de-tectors, but having a car-bon monoxide detectorprotects people from a si-lent and unseen killer,Stambush said. And aweather radio gives eachresident an early warningsystem when severeweather is approaching,he said.

Stambush said people

in the fire district can calland receive help fromfirefighters to make surecarbon monoxide detec-tors are properly placed.

The safety kit includestools people like to have,but hope to never use.Thankfully, the safety kitwas there for Scholefield,he said.

“I mean what bettersuccess story than that,”said Mayor Dave Geard-

ing.Gearding said the city

gave out a home safety kitto each resident as part ofthe city’s annual Christ-mas party.

The March 2012 torna-do that struck nearbyPeach Grove had the citycommission thinkingabout how to help resi-dents stay safe, Geardingsaid.

“It kind of promptedsome discussion at citycommission to make surethey are actually pre-pared in the event of anemergency,” he said.

The city commissionunanimously decided tospend $9,000 to purchasethe safety kits, Geardingsaid. It’s for thehealthandsafety of the residents, hesaid.

“What better tools togive than one residentscan save their lives with,”said commission memberKeith Daniels.

COLD SPRING — Theowners and staff of Knot-ty Pine on the Bayou havemarked the one-year an-niversaryofre-openingofthe restaurant with littlefanfare beyond servingpatrons the usual Cajundining celebration.

The staff marked one-year anniversary of mov-ing and re-opening therestaurantMarch 6 by sit-tingaroundandtalkingto-gether over drinks at theend of the night, said own-er John Caulfield.

“It kind of snuck up onus, and we literally justhad a good day at work,”Caulfield said.

Caulfield and his wife,Kathy, closed the restau-rant between Nov. 14, 2011,andMarch6,2012,duringarelocationprocess toanewbuilding overlooking theLicking River. The build-ing the restaurant was lo-cated in since1994 was go-

ing to require costly struc-tural repairs to renovate.

Caulfield said he feelslucky to be able to bringall of the restaurant’sstaffback in2012afterbe-ing closed for so long.

The re-opening anni-versary coincides withthe restaurant’s annualspring crawfish boil.

Crawfish are flown infresh from Alabama andboiled the same day eachTuesday from the end ofJanuary until late May orJune, he said. It’s a specialtime of year for the res-taurant, and patrons,Caulfield said.

“We do have fun withit,” he said. “We have cre-ated quite the following.”

Heapingmounds of thebright red crustaceans,which resemble minia-

ture lobsters, filled manyof the tables inside therestaurant March 19.

Sous chef Aaron Han-ker, said the restaurantboils anywhere from 250pounds to 300 pounds ofcrawfish each Tuesday.

“Sometimes we’re outby 7 o’clock; sometimesthey make it through thenight,” Hanker said.

It’s a festive and busytime of year, and opportu-nity to showcase the res-taurant’s New Orleans-style offerings to peoplevisiting for the first time.

Alexandria resident

Shelly LaGory said shehasn’t tried the crawfish,buthasbeencomingto therestaurant for years.

“I love the jambalayaand the sauteed shrimp,”LaGory said.

Fort Mitchell residentFred McCoy, a native oftheNewOrleans area citySlidell, La., said he andabout 10 or 12 of his co-workers from EGC Con-struction inNewporthaveattended the crawfishboils with regularity forthe past four years.

“They’ll consumeabout 60 pounds,” McCoy

said. “And they’ll comeout in these platters, andthey’ll sit andeat themun-til they can’t eat anymore– and then they’ll sit downand eat dinner.”

McCoy said they makesure to get to the restau-rant shortly after it opensto make sure they getsome crawfish.

“You’re a little earlynow, it’s only 6 p.m.,” hesaid. “In about anotherhour-and-a-half this placewill be crowded. And Idon’t think you’ll have acrawfish left tonight by 8o’clock.”

MELBOURNE — AMarch 13 fire in Mel-bourne sent a firefighterto the hospital after an ex-plosion sent a 3,000-pound, pressurized metalcylinder into his chest.

Chief Greg Bucklersaid Brian Franklin wastaken to the University ofCincinnati Hospital andwas released the sameday.Franklin didn’t lose anytime at work because hewasproperly usingprotec-tive gear, said Buckler,who became chief of thedistrict March 21.

“It probably saved hislife,” Buckler said.

Training was the keyfactor, said Myron Born,whowas serving as the in-terim chief of the depart-

ment the day of the fire.“Lt. Franklin, one of our

lieutenants, was on a handline, andhewas thrownap-proximately 30 feet,” Bornsaid. “He was hit right inthe chest. We believe hewas hit with the top of aCO2 extinguisher that ex-ploded,whichhasanexplo-sive limit of 3,000 pounds.So he took quite a jolt.”

Franklin was trainedand taught to know tohave all of his “turn outgear” on and in properuse.

“And thank God it wasbecause I got to go to thehospital and bring himhome,” Born said. “Wedidn’t have to have a fu-neral.”

Born saidFranklinwasextremely lucky becausethe homeowner was in-jured in theexplosion,and

“did not fare as well.”“I can tell you, that’s

one of the worst feelingsin your gut, is I was onmyway to work and I heard aChief Buckler call acrossthe radio and saywehad afirefighter down,” hesaid.

Born said Franklin stillhad some issues stem-ming from the explosion,that the district’s healthinsurance is helping himto work through.

AssistantChief ofEMSPatsy Parker said she im-mediately called the Ken-tucky Crisis Team, ofwhich she is a member.

“This is the critical cri-sis team for stress man-agement in incidents likethis,” Parker said.

Parker saidBuckler in-formedher theyhadsomefiremen who were in

“great need” of the crisisteam’s services.

“I could not be a part ofthis what we call a defus-ing because that was soclose to home,” she said.

A crisis managementteamwas called in, and “itseemed that they mayhavedone a lot of good forthe guys,” Parker said.

“Itwas close forme toobecause I did later findoutmy own sonwas abouteight feet from the home-owner, and it’s prettytough because I had topack up myself and leavethat day and leave the sit-uation behind.

“That day showed theyoung generation of bothdepartments exactlywhat togetherness reallyis andwhatworkinghand-in-hand is, and I couldn’tbe prouder.”

ALEXANDRIA — CampbellCounty Schools at the elemen-tary, middle school and highschool levels all achieved tophonors in their final academictournaments for the season inMarch.

» In addition to CampbellCounty High School’s teamplacing sixth overall in the stateGovernor’s Cup competition,senior JennaGarofolo of Butlerplaced first in arts and human-ities for the third straight year.

» Campbell County MiddleSchool placed fourth in Gover-nor’s Cup competition March16-17. Themiddle school’s quickrecall team was the runner-upstate champion. The school’sMath Counts team also alsoplaced sixth in Kentucky at theMath Counts competition inLexingtonMarch 23. More than150 schools competed, and itwas the highest finish for themiddle school in the event.

Themiddle school’s quick re-call team is preparing with twopractices eachweek for compe-tition at the National AcademicQuiz Tournaments in ChicagoApril 27-28, said teacher andteam coach Faye Smith.

» Campbell Ridge Elemen-tary School in Alexandria wonthe District 69 regional Gover-nor’s Cup competition, the high-est level of achievement in theelementary division, for aneighth straight year.

Quick recall team membersJayden Coleman (team cap-tain), Nick McDaniel, SamJones, Mallory Holbrook, Jack-sonMorris, Derek Ramsey, Ha-ley Dixon, Raychel Kool, andAbby Clark were quick recallchampions for the region.

The individual written as-sessment test medal winnersfrom Campbell Ridge included:Ben Dietz, third place in math;Nick McDaniel, third place inscience; Abby Clark, second

place in language arts, RaychelKool, fourth place in composi-tion; Mallory Holbrook, fifthplace in composition.

The success of each school’steam is all tied together, saidDonn Manker, coach of theCampbell County High Schoolacademic team.

Manker is in his 16th year ascoach and helped the highschool team when Governor’sCup competition was started in1986.

For many years the highschool team was usually in thetop 16 in the state, but wasn’tplacing at or near the top atstate competition, Manker said.

A decision was made to cre-ate a good feeder system, hesaid.

“Now, we've got teams ateach of the five elementaryschools, and good, competitiveteams, and that helps out themiddle school," Manker said.

The middle school has also

become a power in the stateyear-after-year, and that is lead-ing into thehigh school team, hesaid.

“We’re talking about 15 or 20kids at each school, and thatfeeds into the excellence of theentire district,” Manker said.

This year, the high schoolhad three seniors on the aca-demic team score a perfect 36on their ACT tests, he said.

Garofolo,andAndrewPerrinand Jared Wittrock, both of Al-exandria, were the three teammembers who aced the ACT.

The teamwas invited to com-pete inoneof threedifferentna-tional academic competitions,but has chosen instead to focuson other areas, Manker said.

“They are a verywell-round-ed group, they’re into springsports, tennis and baseball,” hesaid.

One of the high school team’smemorable accomplishmentsinGovernor’s Cup this yearwasdefeating Lexington magnetschoolPaulDunbarHighSchoolfor the first time in a quick re-call match, Manker said.

Dunbar is “the perennialnumber one team in the state,”he said.

Manker said the juniorvarsi-ty squad is alreadyhasa tourna-ment in April, and preparationsare already under way to buildthe academic team for nextyear, he said.

“It’s going to be hard to re-place three 36s,” he said.

There is no easy way to re-place three state-qualifiers.This season, Highlands HighSchool’s boys tennis team willtry to find a way.

The Bluebirds started theseason as best they could, win-ning their first two playablematches while dealing with ad-verseweather conditionswhichlimited the team’s time on thecourt.

“At the beginning of the sea-

son, we’re still trying to test thewaters and see what combina-tionswewant to playwith,” saidhead coach Collin Shadwell.“It’s been kind of a dreary sea-son so far. We’re still trying toshake the rust off.”

The pressure of playingnumber one singles falls tofreshman Ben Emery. He’s norookie, having played varsitysingles last season. He has bigshoes to fill, replacing DrewFreyberger who advanced tothe second round of the statetournament in 2012. Emery is

committed to tennis and playsyear round.

“He’s looking really good, ontop of his game,” said Shadwell.“I’m excited to see howhe stepsup against the top competitionin our region.”

Max Freyberger, Drew’syounger brother, takes on thesecond singles role. The thirdsingles slot is still to be deter-mined,but seniorConnerShive-ly is off to agoodstart.Afternotplaying his junior year, Shivelywon his first two matches thisseason.

The Bluebirds must also re-place last year’s top doublesteam, which also qualified forstate.Fortunately,Highlandshasdepthinthisdepartment.SeniorsZackCarterandFranklinGravesreturn, alongwith ParkerHarrisand Eric Peterson.

“Wehavefourreally tall, ath-letic guys,” said Shadwell. “It’spretty intimidating when theystep up to the net.”

Shadwell will play differentcombinations of the four dou-bles players early in the season.Whichever duo proves to be the

best pairing will take the topdoubles spot in the postseason.

Replacing the top spots inboth singles and doubles will bea challenge, but the Bluebirdsareready to rise to theoccasion.The returning players knowhow to win, and are used to do-ing so. This year, they will haveto get the job done while han-dling different responsibilities.

“Our goal is to come back andrepeat as regional champions,”said Shadwell. “Our players areexcited to take these roles onandplay against top tier players.

NEWPORT—With theweath-er finally warming, NewportCentral Catholic baseball isstarting to heat up as well.

Behind the arm of seniorsConnor Bartels and Josh Cain,the Thoroughbreds shut out ri-val Bishop Brossart 3-0 April 5at NCC’s home field in SilverGrove, Morscher Park. NCCimproved to 4-5 and Brossartdropped to 3-5. NCC won itsfourth game in five days afterstarting 0-4.

“We wanted to get this winafter losing to McNicholas,”Bartels said. “Wewanted toendthe week with a win.”

Bartels, in his third start ofthe year, gave up three hits insix innings and struck out 10Mustangs. Cain, NCC’s otherace, came on in the seventh toearn the save, striking out twomore in the process.

“I felt really good today,”Bartels said. “Coach (Eric) Hillgot me ready to go. I was locat-ingmy fastball.”

“Connor is starting to pick

up where he left off last year,”said NCC head coach JeffSchulkens. “He threw about 60percent of his first pitches forstrikes.”

Thematchupoftworegionalchampions from 2012 who hadheartbreaking extra-inning de-

feats in the state tournamentwas a good early measuringstick for both squads. It wasalso an early-season confer-ence game.

Good Housekeeping maga-zine has its seal of approval,which designates high-qual-ity consumer products.

At the Northern KentuckyHealth Department, we re-cently earned our own seal ofapproval – a circular logofrom the Public Health Ac-creditation Board notes thatwe are an accredited healthdepartment. We were one ofthe first 11 health depart-ments in the country to beaccredited.

The accreditation seal isalso a mark of quality. Itshows that the NorthernKentucky Health Depart-ment stands out among thebest in the nation. It showsthat we’ve met national stan-dards for high quality publichealth services, leadership

and account-ability.

GoodHousekeep-ing runs me-ticulous testson productsbefore givingthem theirseal. Thesame is truefor accredita-tion.

To become accredited, theHealth Department had toundergo a rigorous, multi-year process. We submittedmore than 600 documents todemonstrate standards in 12areas, or domains. Then, wewere evaluated by a team ofpublic health experts fromaround the country in a gru-eling two-day site visit.

When a product has theGood Housekeeping seal, themagazine has a money backguarantee.

While the Health Depart-ment can’t offer such a gen-erous claim, I strongly be-lieve that accreditation hasvalue for Northern Kentuck-y’s taxpayers, who help fundour work.

First off, you can be confi-dent that the Health Depart-ment is meeting the needs ofthose we serve as effectivelyas possible, based on aframework called the 10 Es-sential Public Health Ser-vices.

As local taxpayers, youknow that your accreditedpublic health department hasbeen vetted, or audited in away, against national stan-

dards.In these difficult econom-

ic times, accreditation givesus a framework for settingpriorities. With all of thevital public health serviceshealth departments provideto their communities, wehave to be as smart as pos-sible with existing re-sources. Accreditation givesus a national standard forquality in public healthagainst which to compareourselves.

Accreditation also posi-tions the Health Departmentfor success in the future. Wealready stand out in the pub-lic health community as be-ing a leader, since we wereamong the first to becomeaccredited. However, downthe road accreditation may

become a requirement forthings like grant funding.

For all these reasons, weat the Health Departmentare proud to show off ouraccreditation seal. On April19, we’ll have an Accredita-tion Celebration at each ofour sites. We’ll share photosand facts throughout the dayon our Facebook and Twitterprofiles. Look for us under@nkyhealth.

We are proud of our seal ofapproval from the accredita-tion board, and will display itwith honor as we continue toprovide services to protectand promote the health ofNorthern Kentucky.

astating ef-fects of abuseto our chil-dren on a fartoo regularbasis. In-cidents ofchild abusemust becomea top priorityfor Kentuckyresidents. Itis critical thatwe band to-

gether, as health care profes-sionals, educators, lawmak-ers, business leaders, com-munity members and humanbeings, to eliminate this hor-rible blight on our region.

Sadly, a number of factorsand pressures impact childabuse, including a lack ofunderstanding of how chil-dren develop and expecta-tions of how a child shouldbehave. Patterns of alcoholand substance abuse, finan-cial pressures, job loss andthe inability to provide forthe family can cause a par-ent to feel overwhelmed,unable to cope and morelikely to lose control of emo-tions and tempers whenpressures become too great.

It’s not always a goodthing to be at the top of a list.In a region ranked among thebest in the country for col-lege sports, places to raise afamily and start a business,there is one ranking many ofus may not be aware of andone we must change immedi-ately. Kentucky is one of thetop – meaning worst – statesin the nation for frequencyof child abuse and deathsdue to non-accidental trau-ma.

Child abuse is an unspeak-able injustice that doesn’tdiscriminate against race,religion or socioeconomicstatus. Each year in Ken-tucky there are more than14,000 substantiated reportsof abuse and neglect. Theresult is that Kentucky aver-ages 30 to 40 child deathseach year involving abuseand neglect, with another 30to 60 near fatalities annually.Also, children who survivephysical abuse often are leftwith lifetime debilitatinginjuries. Equally as heart-breaking to know is thatchild abuse is completelypreventable.

We see firsthand the dev-

The best way we can elim-inate child abuse within ourcommunity is through pre-ventive education and re-sources focused on teachingparents and other caregivershow to react when tensionsrun high to prevent situa-tions from getting out ofcontrol; helping parents un-derstand the importance ofknowing and trusting thepeople they leave their chil-dren with; and recognizingthe signs and knowing how toreport incidents of abuse orsuspected abuse.

Understanding the long-reaching effects of childabuse also is important in thecampaign to eliminate itforever. For the childrenwho are lucky enough tosurvive physical abuse, theirtrauma doesn’t end when thehitting, punching and shak-ing stops.

For many child abuse sur-

vivors, the emotional andfinancial burdens impact thefamily and caregivers, andextend throughout the com-munity as well. The after-math of physical abuse usu-ally requires ongoing treat-ment and therapy and oftenresults in irreversible braindamage and limits cognitivedevelopment, causing life-long learning and socializa-tion challenges.

What can you do? First, beaware of tips and steps tostaying in control to preventabuse. Remember that it isnormal to feel frustratedwhen a baby or young childcries, but also rememberthat crying is the way a baby

or young child communi-cates. If you are feeling frus-trated or angry – take abreak. It’s OK to leave thebaby in a crib or other safeplace while you take a mo-ment to regroup. Use ex-treme care when decidingwho can watch your child. Ifyou don’t have total and com-plete trust in the person,then don’t trust him or herwith your child. Be awarethat bruising is not normalon a young baby who is notyet walking. If you see bruis-ing on your baby, seek med-ical attention immediately.

Second, know how to re-port child abuse. Federal andstate laws require that youreport any suspected childabuse, and you have severaloptions to do so. In situationsinvolving children in imme-diate danger, call 911. In Ken-tucky, if you need an imme-diate response to your re-port, call the Kentucky ChildProtection Hotline toll free24/7 at 877- 597-2331. Anony-mous calls are accepted.

If allergy testing reveals that aperson has tree/spring pollen al-lergies, there are lots of steps theycan take to decrease their symp-toms:

The first step is to monitor pollencounts. Our practice regularly up-dates our Facebook page and ourwebsite’s blog (http://bit.ly/allergyn-ky) with the latest pollen and moldcounts.

Keep windows and doors shut athome, and in your car during allergyseason. Some cars have an option torecycle air in the car rather thancontinuously bringing in outside air,

and this is a goodoption to use if youhave pollen allergies.

Take a shower,wash hair and changeclothing after beingoutdoors working orplaying.

Wear a high-qual-ity mask when doingoutdoor chores likemowing the lawn.

Although prescrip-tion and over-the-counter medicationcan be helpful, one of the most effec-tive ways to treat pollen allergies is

with allergy injections. These in-jections slowly introduce an individ-ual’s body to what causes their al-lergy, so their body learns to tolerateit rather than react with allergysymptoms.

A recent article in the Journal ofAllergy and Clinical Immunologyaffirmed that allergy injections werenot only helpful, but were more help-ful than sublingual allergy drops(drops placed under the tongue torelieve allergy symptoms).

Herb of the week:Dill

Michelle, a ClermontCounty reader, wants togrow dill, but in contain-ers. Dill has a long tap-root so use a containerthat’s about 12 incheshigh. There are two va-rieties that grow well incontainers: fernleafgrows up to 18 incheshigh and dukat grows upto 24 inches high. Bothhave lots of foliage andare slower to bolt thanthe taller varieties.

Can you help?Zino Burger recipe.

For Mark, a Glendale

Theservice-man thencheckedthe otherfurnace inHarrison’shouse,found the

same problem and shut itdown too. “I think therewas a scare tactic used. Ithink it was convenientthat there was a personavailable within an hourto sell me new ones andthey could install themimmediately the nextday,” Harrison said.

A neighbor, KathyKilroy, was told all threeof the furnaces in herhouse were hazardous.All three were redtagged and turned off.Kilroy said she ended upreplacing all her fur-naces as well.

“When they tell youthat your life is at stake,you definitely can’t stayin the house without the

Many, like Sally Harri-son, spent thousands ofdollars on new furnaces.Last DecemberHarrisonwas getting a routinecleaning for the furnacein herMaineville home.Suddenly, the servicemantold her he found a dan-gerous crack in the heatexchanger and was shut-ting down the furnace inthe dead of winter.

“I was suspicious andI said to him, ‘How do Iknow that you’re not oneof those companies thatthey reported on thenews.’ He said, ‘Becausewe use a scope to showyou where the crack is,’”Harrison said.

Harrison said she wastold the crack could leadto the carbon monoxidedeath of everyone in thehouse. “He said it was asafety issue so he taggedit. He put a little red tagon it and he turned it offbecause he said it’s got tobe shut down because it’s

Some area homeown-ers are questioning if thenew furnace they boughtwas really necessary.They bought it afterbeing told their old fur-

furnace running so youdo something immedi-ately,” Kilroy said.

Kilroy said she laterlearned others in theneighborhood had en-countered the samething. “I know of threeother people that havedone that. Basically thesame company, the samefurnace,” she said.

Although many home-owners replaced theirfurnaces right away,some sought out secondopinions. Kilroy saidabout one neighbor, “Shehad two other companiescome in and they bothsaid the furnace was notdefective. There were nocracks and their furnacewas completely reliable.”

I contacted the heatingcontractor and receivedthis statement: “In thepast year our experiencedtechnicians have foundapproximately 1,000cracked heat exchangersin customers’ furnacesand have recommendedthat they replace theseparts to prevent unsafeconditions in their homes.Based on industry stan-dards, the presence ofabnormal splits, cracks orholes in a heat exchangerrequired that it be re-placed. With time, ab-normal cracks could allowharmful gases into thehome and it’s our obliga-tion to communicate thisrisk to the customer”

The heating contrac-tor acknowledged to meother HVAC companiesdon’t always agree withtheir findings. It saysfederal regulators arenow investigating.

Bottom line, if some-one tells you your fur-nace is bad and wants toshut it down, immedi-ately contact Duke Ener-gy or another furnaceexpert and get a secondopinion.

Question: Is it tooearly to plant salad cropslike lettuce, spinach, car-rots and radishes outsideinmy new vegetable gar-den?What varieties doyou recommend for thisarea? How soon can Iplant corn, beans, toma-toes and peppers?

Answer:Go ahead andplant these “cool-seasoncrops” outside in yourgarden, since they willnot be injured by latefrosts or snow… aspara-gus, beets, cabbage, car-rots, Swiss Chard, col-lards, kale, kohlrabi,lettuce, onions, parsley,parsnips, peas, potatoes,radishes, rhubarb, ruta-baga, spinach and tur-nips.

Then, after you get allthose planted, you canstart early plantings ofcelery, and transplants ofbroccoli, Brusselssprouts, and cauliflower.You’ll need to wait untillate April to plant sweetcorn and beans, then wait

until Mayto planttomatoes,peppers,squash,melons,and otherwarm-seasonvegeta-bles.

Listedbelow are

University of Kentuckysuggested varieties listedin a free publication,“Vegetable Cultivars forKentucky Gardens”(available from yourlocal Northern KentuckyExtension Office).

Best asparagus culti-vars, or varieties for thisarea include JerseyKing, Jersey Knight,Jersey Giant and JerseyPrince. Best beets: RubyQueen, Red Ace, Pace-maker II, Warrior andCrosby Green Top. Thebest broccoli for springplantings would be Em-peror, Green Comet and

Marathon. In order togrow good carrots, gowith Pioneer, Fanci Pak,Danvers Half Long, GoldPak and Imperator.

The best leaf-typelettuces for NorthernKentucky include GrandRapids, Black-seededSimpson, Red Sails, SaladBowl and Royal OakLeaf, while the best but-terhead types are San-gria (red) and Butter-crunch. If you like Ro-maine lettuce, choosevarieties such as GreenForest and Parris IslandCos. Of the crisp-headlettuces, the best one isSummertime.

Snap peas and snowpeas are expensive tobuy, but they make won-derful early spring cropsin your garden. Goodsnap peas include SugarAnn, Cascadia, SuperSugar Snap, Sugar Snapand Sugar Daddy. Supersnow peas include Ore-gon Sugar Pod II, Mam-moth Melting Sugar and

Snowflake. If you preferthe regular (English)peas that you shell, gowith Mr. Big, Maestro,Little Marvel, Spring,Green Arrow and Bolero.

Growing your ownpotatoes can be fun forboth adults and kids. Thebest russet potatoes areNorgold Russet and Nor-kota. The best white Irishpotatoes are Superiorand Kennebec. If you likered potatoes, select DarkRed Norland or Red Pon-tiac for your garden, orgo with Yukon Gold foran exciting yellow potato.After all, growing unusu-al varieties is half the funof gardening.

Radishes are fastgrowers that yield aquick spring harvest.They should be planted afew at a time, everyweek or two, so theywon’t all be ready atonce. Go with CherryBelle or Icicle. Spinach isanother great early salador cooked vegetablecrop. Plant Tyee or Melo-dy for best performance.

Worry less?An oxymoron for sure,

right? Those twowordssimply do not belong to-gether. Is there such aconcept? Is it possible inthis world of uncertain-ties, death, disease anddestruction to worry less?

Take it from someonewhose bloodline is filledwith worriers – yes.

The key is to under-stand your worries andthe power they have inyour life. The topic ofworry has been a strugglefor humans for thousandsof years. Somuch so thatJesus sawworry as impor-tant enough to teach aboutit in his Sermon on theMount. We can learn vitallessons about our worries(and save thousands ofdollars on prescriptionsand doctor visits) by re-visiting what Jesus saysabout worry:

“Worry cannot addone single minute to yourday, so it truly is use-less.” (Mt. 6:27)

Ironically, one of ourbiggest worries is thelack of time in the day toaccomplish everythingon our to-do list. If you

can’t“worrymoretime intothe day,”theremust bea bettersolution.

“Wor-ry in-dicates alack of

faith.” (Mt. 6:28-30)Claiming to be a person

with a strong faith, fallinginto the “Oh ye of littlefaith,” category is a hardpill to swallow. I mustremember, however, thatfaith is the ability tomain-tainmy inner strength(worry less) by trustingcompletely in the promis-es of God amid the prob-lems of life.

“Worry may indicatethat I am on the wrongpath.” (Mt. 6:31-33)

God sometimes usesthe uses the worries inmylife to get my attention. Inother words, if I am tak-ing care of the things thatare important to God, hepromises to take care ofthe things that are impor-tant tome. Your worries

may be an indication thatGod is too far down onyour list of priorities.

“Worry indicates adistorted view of tomor-row.” (Mt. 6:34)

Jesus gives us a directcommand to deal withtoday’s issues, and notworry about tomorrow’s.

We can summarize thislesson on worry by em-bracing, meditating andcarrying one powerfulverse with us whereverwe go. It’s a favorite ofmine and a very specialSunday-school teacherfrommy past (he nowteachesmy two olderchildren). Matthew 6:33reminds us, “But, seek yefirst the kingdom of God,and his righteousness; andall these things shall beadded unto you.” (Thanks,Roland for your love ofJesus and this verse; andreadingmy column.)

“I’m not eating that!”might be a commonstatement, especiallyabout vegetables, madeby many children. Par-ents can do severalthings to get children toeat and enjoy a varietyof fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetablesare important sources offiber and many vitaminschildren need for theirhealth, growth and de-velopment. The U.S.Department of Agricul-ture’s MyPlate is aguideline for healthfuleating. MyPlate sug-gests vegetables andfruits make up half of atypical meal.

Children develop foodpreferences at an earlyage so, the earlier andmore often children eatvegetables, the better.

Manychildrenclaim theydo not likecertainvegetableswhenthey’venevertastedthem.Make sureyour chil-

dren taste a particularvegetable before theydecide not to like it.Sometimes childrendon’t like the way a veg-etable is prepared,which causes them tobelieve they don’t like it.If your children don’tlike a cooked vegetable,try offering it raw ormixed with other foods.Set a good example foryour children by con-

suming more vegetablesand fruits yourself, es-pecially during familymealtimes when chil-dren are watching you.

Parents should makesure children haveready access to fruitsand vegetables. Be surevegetables of some formare offered at everymeal. Offering a varietyof vegetables at meal-time allows children topick the one they like.Pre-washing and keep-ing small bags of vege-tables in the refriger-ator allow children easyaccess for vegetables assnacks.

Children are morelikely to try things thatthey’ve helped with.Letting your child helpyou cook, and shop andallowing them to selectthe vegetables are goodways to get children toeat vegetables.

Remember that serv-ing sizes for childrenare smaller than thosefor adults. A generalguideline is one servingequals one tablespoon ofa vegetable for eachyear of the child’s age.Also keep in mind thatchildren are individualsand vary in how muchthey eat and what theylike.

If your child stillrefuses a particular

vegetable, keep trying.Children tend to fearnew foods, and manytimes it will take themeight to 10 tries beforethey are ready to tastethe vegetable. It maytake them even longer todecide they like it.

Offer the vegetablesin a relaxed environ-ment. Forcing, threat-ening, punishing or of-fering rewards for eat-ing vegetables haveproven to be unsuccess-ful strategies to getchildren to eat and likevegetables.
