member of the churchsince 1974, has seen overthedecadeshowmuch thecongregation of thechurch cares.
Sower said when hemoved into Fort Thomasthat year, the pastor saw
the moving truck in hisdriveway and came overto welcome him and hisfamily to the city and in-vite them to the church.
Once they got thereandmetmoreof themem-bers and staff, they knewit was the church forthem, Sower said.
“It’s really all about thepeople,” Sower said. “Thepeople are what make thechurch.”
Sower said the church,and the people in it, havemade a big impact on hislifeandthe livesof family,including his son, whonow brings his wife andchildren to First Presby-terian and serves as thechurch’s treasurer.
Seeing his son raise hisfamily in the church and
interact with the congre-gation has been a bless-ing, Sower said.
Using the church’s ar-chive and stories sharedby some of the church’solder members, Harrahhas been sharing the his-tory with the congrega-tion through the newslet-ter.
“I just think we cantake for granted what wehave todayunlesswereal-ly remember that some-body had to work hard toestablish it,” Harrah said.“I think learning thehisto-ry of the church gives usperspective on why weare where we are today.”
Pastor Terry Webstersaid the church haschanged a lot over theyears, even in the13years
he’s been there, throughincreased mission workand community involve-ment.
Over the years Web-ster said the church haslostof lotof itsoldermem-bers, who will be remem-bered during the anniver-sary celebration at 5:30p.m. Saturday, April 20.
“Partofourevent isgo-ing to be rememberingthe people that got uswhere we are today,”Webster said. “We’ve losta lot of our elderly mem-bers that just added somuch to our church, butwe are fortunate to haveyounger members whoare stepping up and tak-ing on leadership roles.”

Campbell CircuitCourt Judge Julie Rein-hardt Ward has ruled astate law requiring a pet-ition of 51 percent of vot-ers to raise library prop-erty taxes has not beenfollowed by the CampbellCounty Public Library.
If the ruling is upheld,the library tax ratewill bedecreased from the 2012level of 7.7 cents per $100of assessed property val-ue to the 1978 rate of 3cents per $100 of assessedproperty value.
Ward’s summary judg-ment relates to one por-tion of the class actionlawsuit filed by CharlieColeman, John P. Roth Jr.and Erik Hermes againstthe Library’s Board ofTrustees in January 2012.The suit, filed onbehalf oftaxpayers, also seeks a re-fund to Campbell Countyproperty owners. Thenext scheduled hearing inthe case before JudgeWard is April 25. Bothsides presented argu-ments inCampbellCircuitCourt in February 2013.
The library’s Board ofTrustees released a state-ment April 2 stating they“respectfully disagreewith Judge Ward’s opi-nion.”
The judge’s ruling iscounter to the library’s
position that a 1979 law,HouseBill 44, gave librar-ies the authority as spe-cial taxing districts to setnew tax rates.
Ward’s seven-page rul-ing, issuedMarch 29, stat-ed both sides had askedthrough their legal filingsor “motions” for a declar-atory judgment on whichstatute governs the li-brary tax rate.
Ward, in her ruling, ar-gued accepting the li-brary’s view of the law“would render KRS173.790 meaningless,” un-der which CampbellCounty’s library systemwas established by pet-ition in 1978.
“Pursuant to KRS173.790, a library taxcreat-ed by a petition of the peo-ple can only be changedbya petition of the people ofthatcounty,”wroteWardinher ruling. “There is a cer-tain logic to this procedureand there isnomanifest in-dication that the KentuckyState Legislature intendedthatHouseBill 44 take thispower away from the peo-ple.”
Attorney BrandonVoelker, representing theplaintiffs in the caseagainst the library, saidJudge Ward’s decisionmakes it clear the people,andnotaboardofunelect-ed officials, get to set thetax rate.
“She pointed out that
these libraries were cre-ated by a petition of thepeople, and they controlthesizeandscopeof the li-brary,” Voelker said.
Voelker has also alsofiled a similar suit in Ken-ton Circuit Court in Janu-ary2012onbehalf ofGarthKuhnhein against theKen-ton County Public LibraryBoard of Trustees.
Voelker said he has notreceived any ruling, ornews of a ruling, fromKenton Circuit and ChiefRegional Circuit JudgePatricia M. Summe, whoheard the arguments of inthe two library cases inFebruary 2013, at thesame time as Ward.
In an April 2 Enquirerarticle, library district at-torneyJeffMandoarguedthatHouseBill 44made li-braries taxingdistrictandthat the ruling could set adangerous precedencefor all libraries in thestate if it is upheld.
“The state departmentof libraries and archivestold libraries across thestate they were subject tothe provisions of that bill,and that’s what theywouldhave to follow,” said Man-do in the Enquirer article.“It is not a situation wheremylibraryboard, inpartic-ular, and other libraryboards just went out andwilly-nilly set a tax ratepulled from the air.”
Campbell County’s li-
braryreleasedastatementfrom board chairpersonRebeccaKelmonbehalf ofthe board April 2, express-ing that they are “gravelydisappointed and respect-fully disagree with JudgeWard’s opinion.”
“We firmly believe wehave legal standing thatsupports our position,”said Kelm on behalf of theboard in the statement.“This decision ignores thefact that we have been op-erating as instructed, ac-cordingto thesameformu-las and procedures as oth-er taxing entities and as li-braries all across the statehave done, for the past 35years. This ruling jeopar-dizesfundingformaintain-ing the current level of li-brary services. If fundingis reduced to 1978 levels,the impact on library ser-vices countywide will besevere and significant.”
The next step will bemeeting with Judge WardApril 25 for a status con-ferencetoestablisha timeline for executing her de-cision, according to theboard’s statement.
“Meanwhile, theBoardof Trustees will be work-ing with our attorney todiscuss an appeal to en-sure that statutes intend-ed by the Kentucky legis-lature to govern librariesand other special taxingdistricts are followed,”continued the statement.

that completing highschool is essential to en-suring that every studentgraduates college- andcareer-ready,” accordingto the news release.
According to Senatebill 97, passed by theKentucky General As-sembly this year, withinfour years of 55 percentof Kentucky’s school dis-tricts raising the dropoutage to 18 – all school dis-tricts in the state will berequired to raise the ageto 18.
The $10,000 being
FRANKFORT — Ken-tucky is offering $10,000planning grants to thefirst 57 school districts toadopt policies forbiddingstudents from droppingout until they are 18years old.
The current legal dro-pout age is 16 in Ken-tucky. Local schoolboards are allowed to ap-prove a resolution start-ing July 1 raising the ageto18, according to a newsrelease from the Ken-
tucky Department ofEducation.
Education Commis-sioner Terry Hollidayurged local schoolboards “to be coura-geous” and adopt the pol-icy to raise the compul-sory school attendanceage to18 effective for the2015-16’ school year.
The Kentucky Boardof Education approvedits own resolution April10 encouraging districtsto be early adopters ofthe policy “in order tosend a strong message
made available to thefirst 57 school districts toraise the dropout age isfor planning grants. Themoney “can be used todevelop a required planfor implementation thatwould include integra-tion of career and techni-cal education, engage-ment of the communityand the use of communi-ty resources,” accordingto the news release.
Rep. Jeff Hoover, R-Jamestown, the HouseRepublican Floor leader,sent a letter toGov. Steve
Beshear expressing hisconcerns forKDE’s offerof $10,000 to school dis-tricts in planning grantsin exchange for raisingthe dropout age early.
“I find it disturbingthe Commissioner of theDepartment of Educa-tion is offering morethan $500,000 in publiceducation funds to ad-vance this agenda whiletens of thousands of chil-dren in Kentucky aredesperately in need oftextbooks,” Rep. Hooverwrote to the Governor,
according to a news re-lease from theHouse Re-publican Leadership.“My questions are this,where is the money com-ing from? If KDE has, allthe sudden, $500,000 dol-lars for this graduationinitiative, how much oth-er money is ‘layingaround’ over there? Ifthere is $500,000, all of asudden, why hasn’t themoney been used previ-ously for essential ex-penditures and unmetneeds such as text-books?”

NEWPORT—Among therustic picture frames,vintage soda bottles andother time-worn trea-sures at the MonmouthStreet Antique Gallery ,owner Steve Strain plansto showcase a burst ofsomethingnew– theart ofhigh school students.
Newport IndependentHighSchool artists suchasSarah Willoughby, JamesAbramsandDekoIdle,willdisplay thework theyhavecompleted under the guid-ance of their art teacherTeresa McHugh startingthis weekend.
Acrylic sunsets,framed photographs andcolored-pencil drawings,scratch art and comicbook creations are amongthe pieces the public canview and buy.
“This is a wonderfulway to let the communitysee and recognize the tal-ent the high school stu-dentshave,”McHughsaid.“It also allows students toget experience workingandtalkingwith thepublic.Eachstudent’sworkwillbefeatured in the store for amonth. On the second Sat-urday of the month, thestudent featured will bethere to answer questionsand some for demonstra-tions.”
The antique gallery isthe perfect settin to illus-trate James Abrams’ spinonvintage33-rpmrecords.“I use acrylic to paint onrecords,” said Abrams, asenior. “Wildcats, Tom andJerry, TweedyBird andEl-vis Presley are someof thestuff I have painted on
them.”Abrams said he will
likely work on cars aftergraduation. But for now,he’s enjoying time in theart classroom. “I love art,”he said. “It is calm and re-laxing. It relieves a lot ofstress.”
Abrams and junior Bri-an McHugh are currentlypaintingaWildcat onacaf-eteria wall at the NewportIndependent IntermediateSchool. That effort is an-other way of showcasingthe students’ artistic tal-ents to the public.
SarahWilloughby is thefirst art student to greetthe public this Saturdayfromnoon to 2p.m. “I haveframed sketches, one of aWildcat with an Aztectheme,” she said. “I alsohave framed photo-graphs.”
“Art is a way for me toexpressmy feelings. I loveto photograph still life,”she said. “I think I want topursue photography afterhigh school. Maybe I willfocus on portraits.”
Deko Idle, a senior, isthe third student who wilbe featured at the gallery.She is a painter. “Art alsoallows me to express myfeelings, mostly happy,”she said. And the expo-sure at the gallery willalso help, she said. “I amkind of shy,” she added.
Strain has owned thegallery for severalmonths But as the ownerof Absolute Fire Protec-tion, he has enjoyed pre-paring students for real-world situations formanyyears. Strain has volun-teered and sponsoredthrough 4-H, FFA (FutureFarmers of America) andBoy Scout projects. “Itdoes help build self-confi-dence and I enjoy helpingout the students andschool,” he said.m

SCHOOL NOTES
Though St. Thomas School issmall, their academic teamshad some big wins this seasonand at the Kentucky Associa-tion for Academic Competi-tion’s Governor’s Cup tourna-ment.
The junior high team, whohad an undefeated season in theNorthern Kentucky AcademicLeague, came in second overallat district and regional levels,and had students place in ninthand 12th out of 130 students inwritten categories at the statecompetition in March.
The Sixth Grade Showcaseteam saw success at their tour-nament in December, placingsecondplaceoverall andreceiv-ing medals in several catego-ries.
“I think it’s reallygreat toseesuch a little school do so well,”said Principal Barry Thomas.“It’s great that our studentshave this opportunity to reallyblossom and be recognized forit.”
Thomas said the success ofthe teams wouldn’t be possiblewithout thededicationofparentvolunteers like Andrea Bunch,who coached the students.
Bunch, who has two daugh-ters on the teams, said she seesthe importance of offering thestudents this opportunity.
“This is important because itgives the kids a chance to seethevalueofacademicsandhavethat passion for learning andknowledge,” Bunch said.
Sixth-grader Gabriel Powellsaid when the academic teamcame into his class in fourthgrade to tell them about thecompetitions, he knew rightaway it was something hewant-ed to be a part of.
“The quick recall is verychallenging since you only havea few seconds to answer, but inthe course of it you learn somuch,” Powell said.
Thomas said the students on
the teams are very dedicated,practicing once a week afterschool.
“I think it says a lot about thekids that theyarewilling togiveup their time after school,”Thomas said.
For eighth-grader EileenBunch, the academic team hasbeenabigpart ofher life for thepast four years.
Eileen said she has alwaysloved learning, and the academ-ic team really gave her away toincrease and use her knowl-edge.
“In fourth grade, I learnedthat there was a sport for me,”Eileensaid. “Notasportwhere Iran around failing miserably atwhatever I was supposed to beaccomplishingwith a ball or netor something, a sport that exer-cisedmybrainwaswhat I need-ed, and that’s what I discov-ered.”
Beyond learning and com-
peting, being part of the teamoffered even more to Eileen,she said, and that’s the memo-ries and friendships she madeover the years.

Briede Bill keepsmurders in prison
I am responding to a letterto the editor, April 11 issue ofthe Community Recorder,written by Barbara Briede re-garding the death penalty.
Once again Mrs. Briede isre-living the terror and losssurrounding themurder of herdaughter. She has suffered 20-plus years after her daughter’sdeath. She lost everything thatday and very soon – too soonher killer will be up for parole.
I stand with Mrs. Briede’sfamily and friends hoping herkiller will never be released.This showsnoremorse forwhathe has done. We can all be self-righteousabout thedeathpenal-ty but you can’t talk the talk ifyou haven’t walked the walk.
Thanks to Mrs. Briede’stireless efforts we have theBriede Bill which keeps mur-derers inprisonwhere theybe-long, for a very long time.Thank you, Barbara.

Inmates shouldn’t beroaming streets
I can’t believewhat I read ina recentCommunityRecorder.The city of Crestview Hills, acommunity with almost nocrime, will soon have countyjail inmates “cleaning up thecity, pickingup litter.” Startingin May, Kenton County con-victedcriminalswill be receiv-ing a guided tour of CrestviewHills and other communities.
The article stated that onlynon-violent offenders would beused. Shockingly, burglary andbreaking and entering are clas-sified as non-violent offenses.As a retired state trooper withmore than two decades of lawenforcement experience, Iknow that this decision will af-fect the safety and security ofCrestview Hills and any otherresidentialcommunity involvedwith the program. I wish ourelected officials would thinkthings through before makingdecisions likethis in thenameof“saving money.” Call or emailCrestview Hills City Hall or lo-cal city council members andsay “No, I don’t want inmatesroaming our streets!”

Sad time for libraryusers
Judge Ward’s recent rulingagainst Campbell County Pub-licLibraryandJudgeSumme’srecent ruling against the Ken-ton County Public Libraryleaves citizens, including li-brary patrons, with importantquestions:
Will the judges force the li-braries to operate according toa budget set decades ago? Willthey force the libraries to lockup their present operatingfunds and thereby cripple li-brary operations by closingbranches and laying off staff?This would be very sad foradults and children who regu-larly use our libraries.
Will those who are associat-edwith Taxed EnoughAlreadybe successful with cripplingthe Boone County Public Li-brary?Andafter thatwhatwillstop them fromdoing the samein other Kentucky counties orgoingafterother services suchas public schools, health ser-vices, public transit and sup-ports for seniors and disabled?
Final question:DoRecorder
readers have the intestinal for-titude to rescue our librariesby contacting their state legis-lators and the governor?

Library taxes moneywell spent
Kenton County CircuitCourt Judge Patricia Summehas recently ruled that theKenton County Public Libraryhas improperly raised its taxsince its creation in 1967.
My family and I have bene-fited greatly from this libraryfor some60years andconsiderevery one of the tax dollars wepaid for the library to havebeen money very well spent.
I urgeallKentonCountycit-izens to let their state repre-sentative and senatorknow thevaluethe libraryprovidestoallof us and insist they ensure theKenton County Public Libraryis properly funded to continuethe excellent work they havebeen doing.
We can only dream of theday when other public agen-cies provide such valuable ser-vices for so few dollars.

Outsourcing would beirresponsible
It has been brought tomy at-tention thatVillaHills has plansto outsource the police force toother local cities. As a seven-year resident of Villa Hills, Ihave noticed an increase in bur-glaries and other crime in thepast few years. In that samespan of time, I have only seenlaw enforcement a handful oftimes.Due to theoverwhelmingamount of crime in our city, Ifeel that this is an irresponsibledecision to outsource our safetyto another city.
As you know, Villa Hills isknown for being affluent and aprime place to live.. My wifeand I moved here expectingthis to be a “safe” neighbor-hood to raise our children.Out-sourcing our police depart-ment will no longer satisfy thecomfort and protectivenessthat we feel.
We rarely see patrolsthroughourneighborhoods,andoutsourcing their duties willonly add to the problems thathave developed in Villa Hills.My own neighbors are alreadyusingtheirownmoneytofortifytheir homes with fences, sur-veillanceequipmentandsecuri-ty systems. If and when our po-lice duties have been sent to an-other city, how quickly will ittake someone to respond to anemergency when one arises?How often would a patrol bethroughmyneighborhoodtode-ter crime and thefts?
As a local resident and voter,my vote will be against the ex-pansion of our police depart-ment any further than our cur-rent city limits. What I wouldvote yes on is to see more per-sonnel added to the force to fur-ther protect our reputation, andmost importantly our families.
Lastly,with outsourcing ourpolice to other cities, wherewould that money go? Wouldthose tax dollars be used forimprovements in other areasof Villa Hills? I can think of nobetter use for that money thanto strengthen our own VillaHills police force.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
You may have heard thatCampbell County CircuitCourt Judge Julie ReinhardtWard ruled recently that thelibrary has been improperlyadjusting its tax rate since1979. This issue stirs strongpassions with good reason;there simply is a lot is atstake. People on both sideshave opinions and are ex-pressing them in forcefullanguage. It’s important tohave productive conversa-tions about what the commu-nity thinks is valuable.
The library has not doneanything illegal. We havefollowed the law and ad-justed our tax rate and taxrevenues using the same lawthat all other taxing districtsuse. The Tea Party and oth-ers affiliated with them be-lieve the library has beenfollowing the wrong law. OnApril 1, 2013, Judge Wardruled in their favor. We planto appeal that decision.
While the Tea Party hasraised questions about taxrates, other questions havesurfaced that, truthfully, aremore important. It’s good todiscuss what’s valuable inour communities. We, astaxpayers, should be talkingabout what’s important to usas individuals, and to us aspart of a community. Strip-ping our communities ofwhat should be valuable is acommunity decision.
Some have said the li-brary’s actions in trying toexpand services to southernCampbell were the source ofthis problem. It was no se-cret when the library pur-chased land in 2007 to build anew branch. At the time, theonly public input was posi-tive. Times changed, howev-
er. When thenationaleconomydeteriorated,the library’sboard decid-ed to haltconstruction.In 2011 whenwe returnedto the deci-sion, we heldpublic meet-
ings, and ultimately askedthe voters to approve theconstruction. Sentiments hadchanged drastically and thepeople voted no.
We, the taxpayers and vot-ers, make these decisions. Ican’t see that putting the mat-ter before the public unveilsany wrongdoing. You canagree or disagree with the TeaParty’s stance, but they stillget to be a part of the con-versation. And so do you.
Do you think libraries arevaluable to your community?Do you think that a libraryhaving programs to encour-age library usage and literacyis “too much” library? Arehaving videos and music CDs“too much” library? Are com-puters and wireless Internetconnections “too much” li-brary? The voters said no tothe South Branch, but did theysay no to having any librar-ies?
The decisions reached thismonth by the circuit courtjudges have impact far be-yond tax rates. For manycommunities in Kentucky,library service could simplydisappear. For our library,the loss of revenue in return-ing to a 1978 tax rate wouldmean a severe and signifi-cant loss of services. That’snot rhetoric. It’s a fact.
For me, libraries are im-portant. Sure, I work in one,but I also bring home books,videos, music CDs, anddownload all kinds of e-stuffbecause the library exists –whether I work in one or not.I go to programs and enjoythem greatly. I take a day offand will hole up in a libraryspace somewhere and justread, listen to music andwrite. Having easy access toa library is important to me.
What does a strong publiclibrary mean to you? The TeaParty has their answer. Youhave the right to yours.

Library a valuable part of the community
JC MorganCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST
In a recent article about theruling in the lawsuit againstthe Campbell County libraryboard, the attorney for thelibrary stated that the “libraryboard members have beengood stewards of taxpayers’dollars.” I tend to disagree.
According to the CampbellCounty PVAwebsite, begin-ning in 2007 the CampbellCounty library board beganpurchasing parcels of proper-ty for a south library branch.
In 2007, they purchased2.254 acres for $450,000 In2008, they purchased 1.280acres for $255,000 In 2011,they purchased 1.141 acres for$355,000.
That’s a total of $1,060,000for 4.675 acres of property insouthern Campbell County atan average cost of $226,737.96per acre.
In 2002, just five yearsprior to the libraries’ firstpurchase of the property,18.463 acres located directlyacross the street from theproposed south library branchlocation, sold for $400,000 or$21,664.95 per acre. The li-brary board paid $205,000.00more per acre than the prop-erty located right across thestreet.
On top of the $1,060,000
that they have paid for theproperty, the library boardhas spent thousands on engi-neering and surveying ex-penses. They have spent thou-sands for interior designs for
the new build-ing, tens ofthousands inattorney feesand thousandsmore for thereprinting of
the property tax bills whichhad to be reprinted after theproposed 27 percent librarytax increase ballot issuefailed.
They have paid nearly$100,000 to a firm that solicitsdonations from potential do-nors. And for the nearly$100,000 fee they paid, theyhave received only around$140,00 in mostly uncollectedpledges.
Has the library board real-ly been good stewards of ourtax dollars?
A number of colleges anduniversities recently an-nounced that they have recog-nized the need to change theirbusiness models. Their boardshave determined that pur-chasing property and con-structing buildings with all ofthe associated costs are no
longer affordable options.Therefore, they have begun toforgo purchasing propertyand building new structuresand have instead begun tooffer degree courses via theInternet.
The library board shouldinitiate the process of reduc-ing the number of buildingsand employees they currentlyhave and begin to focus on anew business model that im-proves electronic access tobooks, publications etc. Activ-ities such as Lego buildingcontests and cupcake bakingclasses are all fine activitiesbut when did they become theresponsibility of public librar-ies?
The library board will be-come good stewards of our taxdollars when they begin tofocus on a future that does notinclude the construction ofanother library building andall of the associated costs,both present and future. An-other library building is notonly unnecessary, it is some-thing that the majority ofcitizens of Campbell Countyvoted against, do not want andcan no longer afford.

cording to employees, created a truefamily atmosphere at the airport.

“She doesn’t justtalk the talk, she walksthe walk,” McGraw’snomination letterreads.
During her tenureleading CVG, McGrawhas overseen the rede-sign of Concourse A,the relationship withDHL and the arrival ofFrontier Airlines,while the airport beenrecognized for safetyand efficiency and wasnamed best regional airport two yearsin a row, the nomination reads.
“All of this is wonderful news for theCincinnati region, but Candace de-serves to be ‘best boss’ not because ofthese accomplishments, but because ofthe way she treats her fellow employ-ees,” the letter reads. “She preaches a‘family’ atmosphere and she backs it upwith actions."
Staff members sayMcGraw bringsflowers to her assistants or will treatemployees to an occasional breakfast
or lunch.McGraw discovered she was nomi-
nated after the fact.“It was really a tremendous honor,”
she said. “I think the staff here arefabulous. I love working with my col-leagues. They are so dedicated toCVG’s mission, dedicated to the com-munity. They treat this airport liketheir home and that’s the feeling wewant to have our passengers feel whenthey come here.”
When she learned she took the tophonors, McGraw said she was thrilled.
It was meaningful“because I really re-spect the people withwhom I work.”
McGraw said shetries to be collabora-tive in her manage-ment.
“The folks here arethe ones that do all theheavy lifting. I sort ofviewmy job as being ablocker, trying to takeany impediments out oftheir way so they cando their job.”
Born and raised inPittsburgh, McGraw,
who lives in Villa Hills, has been atCVG since 2009.
The airport, she said, has gonethrough a “tremendous” amount ofchange over the last few years.
“I think it’s important to let peopleknow their work is valuable and thatthey are valued in doing that work andthat as we’re going through the changeshere, we have a goal in sight andthey’re a part of that and they’re criti-cal to it, particularly in times of change.Folks need a steadying influence.”

By Stephanie [email protected]
FOUR QUESTIONSWITH CANDACEMCGRAWCandace McGraw, CEO of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, was voted
Northern Kentucky’s Best Boss in the Community Recorder’s inaugural Best Boss competi-tion. She answered a few questions for the Recorder.Q: Describe your management style in one word.A: Collaborative.Q:What do you think makes you a good boss?A: I try to have good listening skills. I also try to pick up on what’s not being said. I really
try to pay attention. I know that we spend the bulk of our quality hours of our day here atwork. We spend more time with our colleagues than we do with our families and you wantto make it a good working environment.Q:What do you enjoy most about working at CVG?A: I love the people here. We take our work very seriously, but we don’t take each other
very seriously. We laugh a lot. We try to make it relaxed, even though it’s very serious workwe do in terms of safety, in terms of security, in terms of customer service levels, but we tryto have fun doing it.Q: If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?A: I’m a lawyer by background and I had worked in Cleveland’s airport system before I
came here, but in my next life, if I had to do it all over again, I would open up a gelato standin Italy, by the Mediterranean.

Mother Nature is let-ting me know that springis really here. Lookingout my kitchen windowinto the woods, I seetrees budding out and theforsythia is in bloom.That tells me the groundand air are warmer,about 50 degrees or so.My husband Frank gotthe garden plowed andalso plowed gardens for
our neigh-bors, soeveryoneis eager tostart plant-ing. We gotmost ofour rootveggiesplanted,includingpotatoes,radishes
and onions. The saladgreens are already pop-ping up, as are the peas.
I worked in my herbgarden for days hoeingout the chickweed, whichis in fact a winter annual.I gave as much to thechickens as they wouldeat, and I also put somein our salads. Chickweedcontains calcium, zinc,iron, vitamins A and Cand some B vitamins.Plus it’s an appetite sup-pressant! Our ancestorshappily picked chick-weed and dandelionleaves to replace vita-
mins and minerals lostduring a meager winterdiet devoid of freshgreens. As long as youhave a positive identifi-cation and the plants are“clean," enjoy themwhilethey are young and ten-der.
Simple yeast rollsI was trying to make
rolls similar to the Ha-waiian sweet yeast rollsthat you buy. I didn’tquite make it texturewise, but the taste issimilar. If you’re new tobaking or intimidated byit, try these. I think you’llbe pleased with results.I’m using fast/rapid riseyeast here, not regularyeast.
21⁄4cups flour1⁄4cup sugar1 package (1⁄4oz.) fast/rapidrise/quick-rise yeast
1⁄2teaspoon salt3⁄4cup warmwater (120-130degrees)
3 tablespoons butter,melted, plus extra forbrushing on rolls
Combine 11⁄2 cupsflour, sugar, yeast andsalt. Add water and 3tablespoons butter andbeat on medium speeduntil smooth, a fewmin-utes. Blend in rest offlour to form soft dough.Knead a fewminutes.This makes dough
smooth and developsgluten for texture. (Blessthe dough by making across with your hand. It’sa way to thank the Lordfor your abundant bless-ings). Cover, let rest for10 minutes. Roll to a1⁄2-inch thick or so, cutwith biscuit cutter orglass. You’ll get ninecircles of dough if you
use a 21⁄2-inch biscuitcutter. Place 2 inchesapart on sprayed cookiesheet. Brush with butter.Cover and let rise inwarm place until dou-bled, about 40-50 min-utes.
Preheat oven to 375and bake until light gold-en, about 11-15 minutes.Brush with butter.
Yeast 101Regular yeast: For the
most part, this needs tobe proofed in warmwa-ter (105-115 degrees) forseveral minutes until itstarts to foam.
Fast/rapid rise/quickyeast: A more aggressivestrain that can be mixedin with dry ingredients.It also tolerates higherheat.

Andre’s Jarlsbergcheese spread
You are the best read-ers and once again, cameto the rescue. If you re-call, KimMartin wantedto make Kroger’s Jarlsb-erg cheese spread athome. Gail C., a Burling-ton reader, told me shehad asked one of Krog-er’s deli employees acouple years ago aboutthe spread and was told itcontained just shreddedJarlsberg, mayo and redonion. Andre, anotherreader, forwarded hisversion and I’m sharing
that today. He said heand others in his familyagree “it is just as goodas store bought." Andregrates the cheese withthe Cuisinart gratingblade. He chops the onionfine (about a 1/4 inch) byhand since Andre feelslike hand dicing willresult in less liquid onion.Smart tip!
Blend together
10 oz. or so Jarlsberg cheese1⁄2large red onion, 1⁄4-inchdice
Mayonnaise to taste
Tip from Rita’s kitch-en
Jarlsberg is mild,buttery, nutty and slight-ly sweet.

Question: I over-seeded some bare patch-es in my lawn in March.How soon should I mowthe new grass? How highand how often should Imow my lawn?
Answer: Mow newgrass as soon as itreaches normal mowingheight. Generally speak-ing, mow all lawn grass-es often enough to re-move no more than one-third to one-half of thegrass height.
If your mower is setfor 2 inches, mow againwhen grass heightreaches approximately 3inches. Be sure not toscalp the lawn by mow-ing off most of the greenleaves.
For tall fescue lawns,a rule of thumb is tomow at five-day inter-
vals dur-ing thespring, andat seven-day in-tervals therest of theyear. Ifyou have aKentuckybluegrasslawn, aseven-day
interval usually is suffi-cient at a 2.5-inch mow-ing height. You probablycan extend that intervalduring hot, dry weather.
Don’t mow by thecalendar. Instead, watchthe grass grow, and mowfrequently enough toremove no more thanone-third to one-half ofgrass height in any onemowing.
The first mowing
makes the lawn lookspring-like and veryattractive. Subsequentregular mowing hardensthe grass for droughtand heat stresses lateron.
So when the firstclump of grass growsabove the mowingheight, mow, even if a lotof the yard doesn’t needto be mowed yet. Not allgrasses start growing atthe same time. Grass onnorthern slopes, or inheavy clay soil, will startgrowing several dayslater than normal. Grassthat wasn’t fertilized inthe fall or early springalso has a delayedgrowth.
Following recom-mendations for mowingheight and frequencywill make your lawn-
care duties easier andresult in a more attrac-tive yard. If your mowerhas a fixed, all-yearheight, set it at 2.5 inch-es.
However, if you caneasily vary the height,set it at 1.5 to 2 inchesfor the first severaltimes you mow thisspring. The shortermowing height will helpremove a lot of the win-ter-burned, brown grassblades. And by exposingmore dark green growth,it will transfigure yourlawn into the most uni-form, attractive in theneighborhood. Move theheight up to 2.5 inchesafter you mow the grassseveral times.
To protect your grassfrom summer heat anddrought injury, raise themower height to 3 or 3.5inches after the weatherturns hot. However, re-member that high grass,especially tall fescue,tends to fall over and
mat down during hotsummer weather, caus-ing increased summerdisease problems.
In the fall, lower themowing height to 2.5inches. For the winter,you might want to lowerit again to 1.5 to 2 inches.This shorter height im-proves the turf’s winterand early spring color.Never let grass gothrough the winter at aheight of 4 or more inch-es, because it will matdown and become dis-eased.

When a mutual friendintroduced Barb Deal andSue Ochsner, one of thefirst things they learnedabout each other is thatthey’re both volunteerswithBigBrothersBig Sis-tersofGreaterCincinnati.
Deal is from Bellevueand is a Big Sister to 10-year old Ke’Zarah, wholives in Covington. Ochsn-er, of Cold Spring, is BigSister to 11-year old Bri-ana of Newport.
Deal and Ochsnerthought it would be a goodidea toget thegirls togeth-
er and find somethingmeaningful they could allwork on. They decided tobe part of an internationalproject called “Dress AGirl Around The World.”The idea is tomakeadressfor a little girl in a foreigncountry.
The quartet madedresses from pillowcasesand Ochsner says it maybe the only dress the girlswho receive them willever have.
“Briana and Ke’Zarahpicked the pillowcases,thetrimandthepocketde-sign by themselves,”Ochsner said.
“Westartedoffby look-ing at a CD with picturesof girls inAfrica in pillow-cases dresses and talkedabout choices. A personcan stand back and donothing or standup anddosomething positive.
“We got to work sew-ing, knowing we werechoosing to do somethingpositive.”
For Ke’Zarah and Bri-ana, it was a lesson, notjust in sewing, but in life.

There is nomorenoticeable difference inthe world around usthanwhenwe have gonewithout rain formorethan a few days. Theflowers in our yards canno longer produce thebeautiful blooms theywere created to pro-duce, the shrubs losetheir ability to createsolid root systems, andas for the grass, it be-comes like straw; col-orless and hard. It’spainful to evenwalk on.
For some of us, ourlives are like the worldaround us without rain;we no longer producethe beauty wewerecreated for, we are col-orless, hardened, and
maneu-veringour dayto daylives ispainful.
Wearedriedout. Toomuchhas beentaken
from us. Toomuch hasbeen asked of us.We areused up, worn out, andrun down.
We can even describeit as feeling dead on theinside. Somuch hashappened in our livesthat we feel as thoughwe no longer have thecapacity to grow andthrive.
Regardless of ourability to grow andthrive, this state of be-ing dead on the inside isstill painful, and there isonly one thing that cansaturate that dry landand bring it back to life.
TheBible uses theanalogy of spring rain todescribe the power andpresence of theHolySpirit in our lives: “Ohthatwemight know the
Lord. Let us press on toknowhim.Hewill re-spond to us as surely asthe arrival of dawn or thecoming of rains in earlyspring.” (Hosea 6:3)
There are times inour lives whenGodknows that only he cansatisfy. Times when onlyhe can “rain down” andbreathe life back into us.
It’s this kind of satis-faction that breathes lifeback into us and offershope for the comingdays.
Are youmissingsomething in your life?Do you need the “rain?”
The darkest anddriest times in our livesare not the times to callon family, self, friends,drugs, sex, and alcohol(or all the above.) Theysimply drain and dry usup evenmore.
During the darkesttimes of life, we are tocall out to God, call outto Him and pray for hisspirit to “rain down” andsaturate our lives.
“I pray that God, thesource of hope, will fillyou completely with joyand peace because youtrust in him. Then youwill overflowwith confi-dent hope through thepower of theHoly Spir-it.” (Romans15:13)
May you experience afresh spring “rain” fromtheHoly Spirit thisweek.
