When the chef fromBouquet Restaurant andWine Bar in Covingtoncame to Alexandria areaGreensleeves Farm, 30-year-old Christy Hanne-gan didn’t hesitate tomake a reservation to dinenext to a farm field.

Geensleeves, a Com-munity Supported Agri-culture (CSA) farm, start-ed bringing local chefs inMay from prestigious res-taurants to cook dinnersusing its produce and foodfrom other local farms,said owner GretchenVaughn.

Vaughn’s CSA, whichhas a waiting list to join,allows people to work on afarm growing food in ex-change for weekly sharesof the crop yields.

For the dinners,Vaughn sets out tablesnext to her fields with acommanding view of roll-ing southern CampbellCounty hills. A tour of thefarm and live music arepart of the experience,she said. Allison Hines,owner of Butcher BettiesMeats & Sweets in Flor-ence, will cook a hog fromNapoleon Ridge FarmSunday, July 12, for thenext dinner.

“The purpose of this isto educate more people inKentucky about what lo-cal farms are doing andhow the food they growcan be used,” Vaughn said.

Hannegan, of ColdSpring, said Bouquet is afavorite restaurant atwhich to dine, so she didn’twant to miss Green-sleeves’ first dinner. Han-negan is a Greensleeves

CSA member.“When I heard Bouquet

was going to be Green-sleeves’ first dinner, Iknew we had to be there soI got myself and five oth-ers to come with me,” shesaid.

Hannegan writes abouthow she cooks and eatsmeals made primarily outof vegetables, fruit andmeats at her Facebookblog Eat Clean LiveSimple.

Bouquet uses vegeta-bles grown at Gleen-sleeves and foods fromother local growers, soHannegan said she has acomfort level with the me-nu.

“For someone who eatsclean on a daily basissometimes it’s hard to goout and eat because you’reworried about what’s inyour food,” she said.

Hannegan said shecarefully shops at grocerystores, too, and raisessmall vegetables in ahome garden.

“If I can’t read the in-gredients in the label Iwon’t put it in my mouth,”she said.

Hines, a chef for 20years until startingButcher Betties Meats &Sweets in Florence, saidshe will cook a freshlybutchered grass-fed hogfrom Napoleon RidgeFarm. Gin cocktailsserved at dinner will bemade with spirits fromNew Riff Distilling ofNewport. Beers fromEi8ht Ball Brewery ofBellevue will be served atthe dinner.

FORT THOMAS — Despite alack of state attention or sup-port, an arts district has formedwith some city nudging.

Creation of an arts districtwas by design over the last fouryears, said Debbie Buckley, cityrenaissance manager and eco-nomic development director.

No reason was given whyFort Thomas’ application to be aKentucky Cultural Districtfrom the state’s Arts Councilwasn’t picked in 2012. Coving-ton, Berea, Danville and Padu-cah did make Kentucky’s initiallist of cultural districts. Bard-stown and Berea were later add-ed to Kentucky’s Cultural Dis-trict list.

Fort Thomas’ art districtboundaries are between 1-200N. Fort Thomas Ave. in an areaaround the Fort Thomas TowneCenter and part of Highland Av-enue, Buckley said.

“We have 23 businesses inthe district all having to do withthe arts,” she said.

Polished Pearl, the forth-coming Schone Kitchen Designshowroom and The Art Houseare among new arts-relatedbusinesses in the district, Buck-ley said.

“Even though we don’t havethe state designation, we haveour local arts district,” Buckleysaid.

Kentucky may not have

funds to further support cultur-al districts, but being pickedcan open doors to grants andother support, she said.

“We will most likely applyagain,” Buckley said.

A cultural district, as definedby the Arts Council website athttp://1.usa.gov/1dBSCWn, is “awell-recognized, labeled,mixed-use area of a communityfeaturing a high concentrationof cultural amenities that at-tract local residents and visi-tors alike.”

“We feel like this district, fora long time, had really been of-fices and we wanted to trans-form it,” Buckley said.

Longtime arts groups orbusinesses in district bound-aries include The Village Play-ers theater and Le Dance Stu-dio, which has been at 8 High-land Ave. since 2005.

The critical mass of arts-re-lated businesses has led to thecreation of Art Around Townehop , which will start from 6-9p.m. each third Friday of themonth June through Septem-ber, Buckley said. Food trucksand 40 artists set up outside and

art businesses will have theirdoors open during each hop, shesaid.

Up the street from The ArtHouse at 19 N. Fort ThomasAve., Ashli Slawter is renovat-ing 33 N. Fort Thomas Ave. intoa showroom and headquartersfor her architecture firm andSchone Kitchen Design. Slaw-

ter and Brian Shackelford arepartnering to create Schone.The showroom is expected toopen by mid-summer at the lat-est, Slawter said.

SimpTech Solutions, an inte-rior designer and audio/visualsystem creator will be anothertenant at 33 N. Fort Thomas, shesaid.

Central to the district is TheArt House, Buckley said.

“It brings the gallery, educa-tion of students as well as thebeginning entrepreneurial art-ist,” she said. “And it brings en-ergy to the Towne Center.”

marily grass-fed from lo-cal pastures, Hines said.

Meat, strength andglamour are all a part ofthe Butcher Betties con-cept, she said. A U.S. Na-vy veteran, Hines saidbeing a female butcher ina “male-dominated pro-fession” led her to comeup with a name evocativeof pinups and swing mu-sic of the 1940s and 1950s.

“I’ve always been at-tracted to that whole eraof strength and feminin-ity,” Hines said.

Pinup girls of the eradid both, she said.

“Rosie the Riveter is aperfect example,” Hinessaid.

Before coming upwith a menu for July 12,Hines said she will seewhat vegetables fromGreensleeves are attheir peak. The hog fromNapoleon Ridge Farmwill be butchered daysprior to the dinner. TriciaHouston, owner of Napo-leon Ridge, will assistHines with the cooking in

her other persona as“The Farm Chef Girl.”

“It’s going to be a Ken-tucky-raised menu,”Hines said.

Future Greensleeveschef dinners include avisit from NuVo at Gree-nup Aug. 16 and from Vir-gil's Cafe of BellevueSept. 20.

Another chance to ex-perience food fromGreensleeves is the 10a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday, June28, Garlic Festival at thefarm, Vaughn said.Greensleeves is at 10851Pleasant Ridge Road, Al-exandria. Admission will

Greensleeves Farm assistant Alexa Abner, of Fort Thomas,talks to another farmhand as she peels layers from garlic.

Sutkamp Friedman, asignature member of theCincinnati Art Club, saidcreation of The ArtHouse incubator in No-vember 2014 helped ac-quaint people with thequality of artists work-ing in Fort Thomas. Andmany artists living inFort Thomas were not

aware of each other,Friedman said.

“We’ve been able toconnect and buildbridges between artistsin the community,”Friedman said.

Of 50 independent art-ists who are part of TheArt House, 20 are fromFort Thomas, she said.

Friedman, who teach-es adults water colorpainting, is one of six art-ists with regular classesat The Art House.

“I teach them how tomake an apple lookround all the way to usingrice paper and liquidmask,” she said.

Monthly shows, in-cluding a Women of FortThomas art show inMarch, have helped in-troduce people to someof the great artists to befound locally, said Par-rish Monk, founder ofThe Art House.

“Joyce is one of themost well-known artistsin Fort Thomas,” Monksaid.

During the June 19 ArtAround Towne hop, peo-ple won’t be able to missanother local artist’swork, he said.

Bill Daniels, of FortThomas, will create an18-by-20-foot painting ona canvas hanging fromthe side of The ArtHouse, Monk said.

Monk, 45, of Union,said people can seesculptures from BruceOlson, creator of an an-nual art exhibit and sale,RiverSpan, on the PurplePeople Bridge in New-port.

Having classes forchildren and adults, andproviding artists spaceto work are some of theways The Art House ismore than a gallery,Monk said.

ALEXANDRIA — Mem-bers of St. Paul’s Churchof the United Church ofChrist never forgot theyhad a cemetery.

They did forget whoowned the cemetery onSouth Jefferson Street.

St. Paul moved in 1900across Main Street to 1North Jefferson St.. Overthe years, ownership ofthe cemetery becamemurky. When a neighbor-ing property went up forsale this year, churchmembers were surprisedto hear they still ownedthe cemetery, said churchmember Roger VonStrohe of Alexandria.

Research led churchmembers to an 1850 deedlisting the German Lu-theran Church at Alexan-dria as owner. Churchmembers have alwaysknown the church as Ger-man Evangelical too, hesaid.

“People had forgottenall about the deed,” VonStrohe said.

Congregation mem-bers set out to clear hon-eysuckle and other brushto restore the cemeterythis spring, he said. Thechurch rededicated thecemetery May 31.

Some church membershave ancestors in thecemetery and knew it wasovergrown.

“They didn’t feel likethey had the legal right todo anything,” Von Strohesaid.

People can see sixmarked graves in thecemetery, Von Strohesaid. Research led to an

estimated 14 unmarkedgraves, he said.

Church records are be-lieved to have been de-stroyed in the 1920s, VonStrohe said.

Among its markedgraves are two head-stones for Union Civil Warsoldier FerdinandFrommholz’s burial site.Frommholz served in the16th Volunteer KentuckyInfantry and died in Au-gust 1865 after being hos-pitalized.

Cut stones from thefirst church’s foundationwere also found near thegraveyard, said PastorChad Abbott.

“Before we were everborn there was a founda-tion laid and all we are do-ing is carrying things onand sharing God’s love,”Abbott said.

The church is glad totake on the stewardship

role for graves of some ofits earliest members, hesaid.

“It is right for us tohonor these pioneers,”Abbott said.

Von Strohe said mostheadstones were found ina pile in the back of theproperty instead of mark-ing graves. Frommholz’sheadstones were the onlyones not disturbed be-cause they are betweentwo trees and were sur-rounded by heavy brush,he said.

Network ofvolunteers helpedrestore cemetery

About 20 volunteers,including all nine churchtrustees, helped clear thecemetery. Local ceme-tery researchers from theCampbell County Histori-cal and Genealogical Soci-

ety and people with recol-lections of where head-stones originally be-longed helped placeheadstones. Tile masonKenny Rahe, a longtimechurch member and Alex-andria native, helpedclean headstones, VonStrohe said.

Von Strohe alsobrought in his son, Doug-las Von Strohe, to assistwith identifying the cem-etery’s boundaries. Doug-

las is co-owner of K & VCultural Resources Man-agement in Erlanger withhis business partner Jean-nine Kreinbrink.

The younger VonStrohe said his firm, witharcheology expertise,helps developers identifyboundaries of graveyardsthey are working to avoid.

Kreinbrink helpedbring in Thomas Brack-man, a geophysics andhazards professor fromNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity, to help useground penetrating radarto identify probable gravesites, said Douglas VonStrohe.

California area resi-dent Marvin Record, acemetery historian help-ing on the project, said hewas impressed with howchurch members took thelead.

Church members invit-ed a member of the Sonsof Union Veterans of theCivil War to a May 31church ceremony rededi-cating the graves, Recordsaid. Frommholz’s lastknown action was at FortAnderson, North Caroli-na, in February 1865 aspart of an effort to cap-ture the port of Wilming-ton, he said. Frommholz

was sent back to Cincin-nati for hospitalization forunknown reasons, he said.

Typically, Record saidhe and Grants Lick resi-dent Buck Seibert have towork alone to get ceme-teries and graves identi-fied. Sometimes theirwork ensures peopleknow a cemetery existsbefore development orland reuse happens, Rec-ord said.

“It’s nice to save andpreserve a cemetery in-stead of seeing it bull-dozed over,” he said.

LIFE

FLORENCE —

Although FriendlyMarket has beenopen for almost twoyears, Allison Hinesof Butcher Betties

doesn’t think enough peopleknow about it yet.

Nestled behind a shoppingcenter off Sam Neace and Mt.Zion roads, adjacent to theKroger, the Friendly Marketcombines the freshest flavors,the highest quality locallygrown products and countrycharm.

Hines, a petite powerhousewith a vintage vibe, saidFriendly Market shouldn’t betoo hard to find later this yearwhen Northern Kentucky Uni-versity’s art department willpaint a mural of fruits andvegetables on the tan metalbuilding’s exterior.

“We’ll be a culinary destina-tion. That’s what we want,” shesaid. “People will see us fromthe highway. They’ll be able tosee it from airplanes. ... Oncethey know we’re here, they’llbe back.”

The Boone County marketon Norbotten Avenue has anoutdoor farmers market aswell as nine indoor tenants:Afishionados, Butcher Betties,Butcher Betties KentuckyProud General Store, The Colo-nel’s Creamery, Colonel De’sGourmet Herbs and Spices,The Flying Olive~Bluegrass,Smokin This and That BBQand Unbridled Spirit liquorstore.

Hines started her pinup-inspired butcher shop lastyear, and now also managesButcher Betties KentuckyProud General Store.

On one side of the market’scenter aisle stands Hines’whole animal butchery shop,

where she offers a variety ofmeats as well as locally pro-duced cheeses. On the otherside sits the Kentucky Proudshop, which features soaps,jellies, jewelry and other Ken-tucky artisan products and giftbaskets.

With her Victory rolled hairand red-lipped smile, Hinestalks about Ed-Mar Dairy’scheese and offers a taste.

“Every one of us has sam-ples,” she said. “We know ourfood can be a little more ex-pensive than in the supermar-ket, but it’s locally grown andsustainably raised. People areinterested in being more con-nected to their food.”

Vintage Fair has eclectichandmade items

Hines oversees the market’sVintage Fair every month,which features a variety ofeclectic handmade items andantiques.

Her fascination with historyis visible in her meat case.

“We have ‘city chicken,’something not a lot of peopleknow about anymore,” Hinessaid. “A long time ago, chickenwas a luxury. They might killone chicken a week for Sundaydinner. You couldn’t just go tothe store and buy chicken, sosome butchers would skewercubed pork and call it ‘citychicken.’”

A meat supplier found avintage “city chicken” moldfor her to use.

“I like bringing back thingsfrom the old days,” she said.“People can come in here and

see things they haven’t seen ina long time.”

Hines has made sure themarket is connected to thecommunity, too. Especially themilitary community. As a U.S.Navy veteran, and the fourthgeneration of women in herfamily to have served, Hines isprocuring four special parkingspaces for military members.Two for Purple Heart honor-ees, one for any veteran andone for a Blue or Gold StarMother.

Col. Don Lambert is one ofthe market’s original tenants atThe Colonel’s Creamery.

Although the outdoor mar-ket is open May through Octo-ber, the indoor market is openseven days a week, year-round.Approximately half are openon Mondays, but Lambert’spremium ice cream is acces-sible every day.

‘People care more aboutfood than they used to’

“A lot of people value thebenefit of having better qualityfoods,” he said. “I think thetime is right because there’s atrend for knowing what ingre-dients are in your food. Peoplecare more about it than theyused to.”

Lambert said many of themarket businesses collaboratetogether. He said he turned toColonel De for spices when hewas creating the Colonel’sDarn Hot Brown, a flavor simi-lar to the famous Cincinnati-style chili.

“We each really care aboutevery one of our products, andwe help each other,” he said.“These are specialty artisanproducts.”

Lambert has served more

than 90 original flavors sincehe opened, and his case of 16different ice creams is con-stantly changing. Many aremade from market produce.

“I use Kentucky berries,fruits, pumpkins,” he said.“Persimmon ice cream, honeyand lavender, raspberry mo-cha. There’s always a variety.”

The Colonel also servesunusual flavors such as maplebacon, spiced rum raisin, cher-ry pomegranate habanero andpopcorn.

“There’s always somethingdifferent to try,” Lambert said.

Afishionados hooked onidea of a little shop

John LaFontaine of Afishio-nados fish market obviouslykeeps things fresh as well.

After many years in therestaurant business, LaFon-taine got hooked on the idea ofa little shop with less overheadand fewer employees.

“This area needed a placelike this,” he said. “There wasnothing like this anywherenear here, only in Findlay Mar-ket.”

Afishionados has fish, mus-sels, sea scallops and salmonflown in every other day fromMaine, California, Scotlandand other places.

LaFontaine also preparessoups, spreads and specialtieslike lobster ravioli and lobstermac and cheese. The shopfeatures some frozen shrimp,crab legs and some types offish.

“We all work together inhere,” he said. “If I need sau-sage for gumbo, I get it fromAllison. We all use Colonel De’sspices. It’s a good little com-munity in here and we can allbenefit the rest of the commu-nity.”

Today really was a sim-ple country pleasureskind of day.

Son Shane brought histhree girls over and I tookthe two oldest ones, Eva,7, and Emerson, almost 3,

for a walkdown to theEast ForkRiver. Thegirlscaughtcrawdads,tiny fishandscooped uplots ofshells andother trea-

sures from the shallowwater.

I didn’t realize so muchtime had passed by untilShane came walkingdown with baby Ellery inhis arms. “Time for Emer-son’s nap,” he said.

So we went back to thehouse and even thoughShane didn’t stay forlunch I did have all themakings ready for thissimple pizza. I was alsogoing to photograph thegirls making the pizza forthis column. But sincethat didn’t happen, I’llshare a photo of the rea-son why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, “sim-ple country pleasures.”

Kids can make easy sunflower pizzaSunflower pizza

The little ones will love making this. Good evenwith just cheese.

1 can flaky biscuits, 10 ouncesPizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell

peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc.

Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in center of cookie sheet linedwith foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining biscuits incircle, edges slightly overlapping, around centerbiscuit. Gently press with your hand into a 10-inchcircle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thin layerof sauce on top.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmalade sauceLately I’ve been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to a young man

whose name I don’t remember. He stopped to chat with me at the store. Funny that I can’tremember his name but do remember very clearly what he wanted, so here it is: A reallygood-tasting, fairly easy, main dish for chicken.

4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade

Salt and pepper chicken, dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning well on both sides.Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bring brown bits up. Add lemon juice,garlic, red pepper and half of the orange juice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes.Stir in 1 cup marmalade and rest of orange juice.

Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice or couscous withsauce poured over chicken.

A publication of

JUNE 18, 2015 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • A9

Last week’s question:What should Cincinnati city

leaders and residents do to curtailthe recent trends of gun-relatedcrimes in the city?

“If you want a gun have topass a background and IQ test.It will sift through criminalsand stupid people. Combo!”

Brockman Heather

“Criminals get guns withoutfollowing the current back-ground checks that have to bedone now.”

James Bartley

“Stricter punishment . Nobail allowed with gun crimes.”

Karen Swanson Dietz

“Stiffer gun-related laws,

etc.! More jail time! If you takea life and found guilty of doingso you should get the death pen-alty with no wait time, should becarried out right after court.”

Dorothy Crank Pettit

“They need more safety pa-trols and people need to be will-ing to help.”

John Scales

“Programs, church and po-lice. You could call it PCP. Thenmaybe people would try it. Pro-grams to teach young peoplehow to succeed in American so-ciety. Use three hours of theschool day in those areas toteach things that their parentswon’t, like building retirementsand how to interview for jobs.Job placement programs thathelp young people find ca-reers.”

Bethany Pancerzewski Spence

“Build a 25-foot concretewall with razor wire at the top.Remove all children then floodthe area with heroin, alcoholand more guns .”

Mike Fryman

“People need to pray! OnlyGod can fix this!”

Anna Merlo

“What can they do? It is up toevery individual to make a deci-sion to do crimes ... nothing canbe done. Police are not aroundwhen the crime is committed.The suspect knows that.”

Carl Wilhelmy

“More gun control. My forkmade me fat and guns kill peo-ple.”

Rob Stone

“Make the city limits smallerand have surrounding citiestake care of some of this crap.More Neighborhood Watchgroups. We all have seen first-hand what the mother did to herson in Baltimore on national TV.Stiffer penalties, send them all

to hard labor work camps orjust cane them like they do inother countries.”

Arin Hargett

“I think if there were stifferpenalties it could help. Prison/jail should be so miserable thatno one would ever want to go inthe first place. We got peoplecommitting crimes just to getback in the damn place for freefood and cable TV.”

Terry Ransom

“I believe that the changesthat are being implementednow are a good place to begin.”

Cheryl Burke Curtis

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your favorite summervacation story (something thatyou personally experienced)?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

With 120, the com-monwealth of Ken-tucky holds thedistinction of hav-

ing the third most counties ofany state in the nation. Whilethis sometimes can be a bless-ing for our populace, as mostwould agree that governmentcloser to the people governsbest, at times it can be a bit ofa stumbling block as we cantend to be territorial and putblinders on refusing to see theoverall benefits of large-scaleprojects.

We in Northern Kentuckyhave long been able to workthrough some of these issuesby blurring county lines andtaking a more regional per-spective. These partnershipshave resulted in our area work-ing together in such vital areasas infrastructure, education,health care and tourism. Muchof the success in Northern

Kentucky has been the resultof our leaders, both civic andgovernmental, having the abil-ity to set aside artificial bound-aries and truly work togetheras a team.

To that end, in 1989 theNorthern Kentucky LegislativeCaucus requested the regionform the Northern KentuckyConsensus Committee, whichis comprised of leaders from avariety of backgrounds in-

cluding government, businessand community organizations.This committee was chargedwith the task of prioritizingmajor capital projects thatwould benefit our region as awhole. Since then, that commit-tee has done so every otheryear, coinciding with the bien-nial budget process underta-ken by the Kentucky GeneralAssembly.

The Northern KentuckyConsensus Committee hasdone excellent work in thisarea and the fruits of theirlabors are evident each day aswe see examples such as theNorthern Kentucky Conven-tion Center, Bank of KentuckyCenter, and the campuses ofGateway College. Just thesethree projects are some of theshining stars for our regionand we can easily recognizethe benefits we gain fromthem.

As preparations begin forthe 2016 General Assembly, theNorthern Kentucky ConsensusCommittee is once again dili-gently soliciting project pro-posals and information andprioritizing projects for us topresent this upcoming Janu-ary. The thought, which hasbeen successful in the past, isthat these projects are morelikely to receive funding andcome to fruition if our entireregion speaks with one clearand united voice.

It is important that citizensand organizations throughoutour region seriously considerprojects they would like to seebe considered by the commit-tee. If you would like to make asuggestion, we encouragethose with ideas to submitthem to the Northern Ken-tucky Chamber of Commerce.Applications for the projectscan be received from and sub-

mitted to Alex Kraemer, man-ager of public affairs for theNorthern Kentucky Chamberof Commerce, by calling 859-578-6386 or emailing akraem-er@nky chamber.com.

Experience has proven thatwhen Northern Kentucky’sleaders, both in the private andpublic sectors, work togetherand help supply legislatorswith clear goals, these part-nerships can result in greatventures that benefit us all.

State Rep. Addia Wuchner, R-Bur-lington, has served the 66th HouseDistrict, which consists of a portionof Boone County, since 2005. Shechairs the Northern Kentucky Legis-lative Caucus. Sen. Wil Schroder,R-Wilder, is in his first term repre-senting the 24th Senate Districtconsisting of Bracken, Campbell andPendleton counties. He is vice chairof the Northern Kentucky LegislativeCaucus.

It’s time to catch our breathafter a busy month of heritage-based events in May – starting

with the Ken-tucky Derby,followed byNational Trav-el and TourismWeek, thenmore festivals,street fairs,spring flings,May Days andcelebrations ofbourbon, mu-sic, food, art,cars, hikes,

bikes and horses than any oneperson could possibly take in.

The Kentucky HeritageCouncil and communitiesaround the state also spon-sored activities to commem-orate May as National HistoricPreservation Month, an annualobservance first championedby the National Trust for His-toric Preservation in 1973.Preservation Month is seen asan opportunity to demonstratehow historic places fuel heri-tage tourism and local econom-ic revitalization, and to raiseawareness about why historicsites are important to ourshared heritage and worthy ofpreservation.

Events ranged from housetours, to educational programs,to awards highlighting placesthat have been saved from thewrecking ball or demolition by

neglect. Many of these trans-formations are dramatic anddemonstrate that buildingsoften deemed beyond preser-vation are, in fact, not.

While the idea for HistoricPreservation Month is to cele-brate successes and focus onthe positive, some years theact of “celebrating” is not al-ways in order. Kentucky com-munities continue to lose his-toric buildings and sites at analarming rate – the very tangi-ble assets that tell the uniquestory of our state’s history, andcreate a reason for people tocome here seeking an authen-tic experience.

It seems clear that by re-pairing, reusing and celebrat-ing our traditional places, weencourage sustained vibrancyand pride in our communities.Who can argue that redevel-opment projects like 21c Mu-seum Hotels, National HistoricLandmarks like ChurchillDowns and Keeneland, locallandmarks like the BeecherHotel in Somerset, or historicMain Streets in communitieslike Maysville and Paducah donot significantly contribute tothe local and state economy?

Time and again, projectsthat maintain or incorporatehistoric buildings are found toenrich and enhance a commu-nity’s sense of place. Thinkabout all the fun events thathappen here during May and

throughout the year. Howmany of these take place athistoric sites or in historicbuildings, along historic MainStreets, at state parks, protect-ed battlefields, or along lakesand rivers traversed by histor-ic bridges?

For communities of all sizeswith the vision and will to hon-or their past, the KentuckyHeritage Council’s Main StreetProgram has proven that his-toric buildings can be hugeassets, given the proper in-vestment of time and effort,and of course, money. Since1979 this program can docu-ment $3.86 billion of privateinvestment leveraged andsupported by public funds,impacting more than 100 com-munities over nearly four dec-ades – all of which would lookvery different today withoutthis intervention. I am clearlybiased, but I believe Kentuckyis home to some of the mostbeautiful and inviting down-towns in the country. Interest-ing architecture combinedwith a strong sense of place, anentrepreneurial spirit andcommunity pride are essentialingredients in each successstory.

Preserving history critical to economy

CraigPottsCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

The U.S. House of Repre-sentatives is expected to votenext week on a bill to estab-

lish what iscalled TradePromotionAuthority orTPA.

TPA is alongstandingand provenpartnershipbetweenCongress andthe Presidentthat enablesCongress to

set negotiating objectives andrequires the executivebranch to consult extensivelywith legislators during nego-tiations. These agreementsallow businesses to generateeconomic growth and jobcreation here at home.

Specifically, TPA enablesmanufacturers, service pro-viders and farmers acrossthe commonwealth to sellgoods and services to the 95percent of the world’s cus-tomers living outside theUnited States. According tothe U.S. Chamber, one inthree manufacturing jobs inthe U.S. depends on exports,and one in three acres onAmerican farms is plantedfor export.

A recent study by the

Business Roundtable showedthat international trade, in-cluding exports and imports,supports 529,278 Kentuckyjobs, which is more than 1 in5. Kentucky exported $26.3billion in goods and $4.6 bil-lion in services in 2013 alone.Of Kentucky’s 4,569 export-ers, 80 percent are small andmedium-sized companieswith less than 500 workers.Whether it’s cars, agricul-ture, bourbon or jet engines,Kentucky jobs depend onexpanding U.S. trade.

The U.S. is negotiating theTrans-Pacific Partnershipwith 11 of the world’s mostdynamic economies in theAsia-Pacific Region. The U.S.is also negotiating the Trans-atlantic Trade and Invest-ment Partnership with theEuropean Union, the largestmarket for U.S. business. Tomake these job-creatingagreements a reality, Con-gress must approve TPA.

Passing this legislationenhances Congress’ role inthe trade process and ensuresfuture presidents, regardlessof party, will have the toolsthey need to secure tradeagreements for our workers.

Dixie Heights runningback Luke Zajac had abrilliant senior season inwhich he helped lead theColonels to their first-ever state championshipgame appearance. Thurs-day night he added anoth-er career highlight as hestarred in the NorthernKentucky Football Coach-es Association East-WestSenior All-Star footballgame at Scott High.

Zajac was named theUC Health Player of theGame as he racked up 199all-purpose yards, includ-ing 117 receiving and 82rushing, and caught a 16-yard touchdown passwhile leading the East All-Stars to a 28-7 win overthe West.

“(Zajac’s) such astrong kid,” said NewportCentral Catholic coachDan Wagner, who coachedthe East All-Stars. “Andhe doesn’t say a word – hejust plows you over andthen gets back in the hud-dle. I love that kid. Now Iunderstand why theywere so good last year andwhy they beat us so bad.”

Simon Kenton line-backer Barry Deaton wasnamed the player of thegame for the West.

The East team, madeup of players from Belle-vue, Bishop Brossart,Campbell County, Coving-ton Catholic, Dayton, Dix-ie Heights, Highlands,Holmes, Newport andNewCath, got out to anearly lead over the Westteam that consisted ofplayers from Beechwood,Boone County, Conner,Cooper, Holy Cross,

Lloyd, Ludlow, Ryle, Scottand Simon Kenton.Beechwood’s Noel Rashcoached the West.

Zajac made his pres-ence felt on offense

throughout the entiregame. He totaled 133 all-purpose yards in the firsthalf, with a 47-yard catch-and-run in the first quar-ter and a 39-yard run in

the second on fourth-and-1that set up the East’sfirst touchdown. Threeplays later Bellevue’sZach Barrett jumped upand hauled in a perfectly

lofted pass by CovCath’sAdam Wagner for a 21-yard score. An incom-plete pass on the two-point conversion attemptleft the score at 6-0 with

7:31 to play in the half.The West responded

later in the quarter whenthey recovered a punt attheir own 47 with 3:05 leftbefore halftime. Lloydquarterback Hayden Mol-itor attempted fivestraight passes on thedrive – two of which hecompleted to Beech-wood’s Joe Studer forgains of 16 and 33 yards –and then Scott’s Eli Sowd-er plunged in from fouryards out. Lloyd’s SergioGutierrez booted the ex-tra-point to give the Westthe 7-6 lead.

NewCath’s Nate En-slen returned the ensuingkickoff 37 yards to mid-field for the East All-Stars. With just 1:43 left,the East orchestrated aseven-play, 50-yard drivethat culminated in a 16-yard double-reversetouchdown pass fromNewport quarterbackPaul Price to Zajac.Price’s two-point conver-sion run made the score14-7 at halftime.

“That’s why we madethe all-star team, becausewe’re good, I guess,”Price said about histeam’s offensive success.“(Zajac) and I had a con-nection for the three daysof practice that we had,but I thought we playedwell as a whole team.”

The East turned thegame into a rout early inthe fourth quarter. Pricehad a 39-yard run thattook his team inside theWest’s 10 yard line, andthen when Newport run-ning back Dominick Jo-seph pounded his way inand NewCath’s BradyGray tacked on the two-point conversion.

Since the weather isnice, are you thinking ofstarting to walk thisyear? My husband and I

enjoywalkingthroughour neigh-borhood,but whenit’s ex-tremelyhot, rainy,or icy (youknowthose dayswill be

here again before youknow it!) we often turnto our treadmill.

You may be con-cerned that if you walkon a treadmill it will notbe as good a workout aswalking outside. Thetruth is they both pro-vide great benefits toyour body, but there aresome small differences.Here are some consider-

ations when comparingwalking outside versusthe treadmill.

» If you are using atreadmill and leave it ata flat incline, you maynot burn as many calo-ries as you would if youwere walking outside.The ground naturallyhas hills and valleys andyour body always has toadjust to the landscape.In order to add a littlemore calorie burning toyour treadmill walk, usethe incline function. Infact, just inclining to 1percent can help youburn more calories andget your heart rate up alittle faster.

» If you are on atreadmill, try not to holdthe handrails. If youhold onto the handrail,you will burn fewercalories. It is also notgood for your posture.Remember when you

are walking, you wantyour arms to move free-ly and your head to beup straight.

» Both indoor andoutdoor walking re-quires you to use yourbalance. However, whenwalking outdoors youmay have to dodgecracks and take smallsteps. This also adds alittle more challenge tothe walk. Walking out-side, you also may walkdownhill. This uses dif-ferent muscles thanwalking on a flat surfaceor uphill. Very fewtreadmills have the abil-ity to provide downhillwalking.

» Because the tread-mill is flat, if you havenot been active for awhile, the treadmillprovides a safe and easyway to start walking.

» Many treadmillshave programs that

allow for a warm-up,walking challenge andcool down. This provides

you with a challenge thatyou may not get outside.

» If you do not have asidewalk or a place towalk safely, treadmillsare a terrific alternative.

» You never knowwhen the weather mayprevent you from walk-ing outside. The tread-mill allows you to walk,no matter what it lookslike outside.

» If you get boredeasily while walking, atreadmill may allow youto walk while you arewatching TV or listeningto music.

Question: The leavesare turning black on myflowering pear tree.Should I cut off the deadbranch tips?

Answer: We havebeen getting a lot of callsabout pears, apples andcrabapples showingthose symptoms. Theproblem is due to a bacte-rial disease known as

“fire blight” since in-fection causes the branchtips to turn black as ifseared by a fire.

It can also attack oth-er members of the rosefamily such as haw-thorns, serviceberry,pyracantha and cotoneas-ter, but infection is minoron these plants.

Callery Pears, such as

Bradford, Aristocrat orCleveland Select, shouldbe avoided or replaced,not only due to their fi-reblight susceptibilityand their weak branchingstructure, but also be-cause they are exoticinvasives, taking overthe woods of NorthernKentucky as the birdsspread the small fruits

full of seeds.The fire blight

organism, Erwiniaamylovora, sur-vives from oneyear to the next atthe margins ofpreviouslyformed branchand trunk can-kers. In mostyears, fire blightbegins during thebloom period, when polli-nating bees, other insectsand blowing rain movethe bacteria from branchto branch and tree totree. Fire blight is gener-ally favored by highrelative humidity orrainy conditions, andtemperatures of 65 to 70degrees. Under favorabledisease conditions, bacte-

rial populationscan build-up rap-idly.

As long as theenvironment isfavorable, it willcontinue to spreadthrough petal fall.The disease hasbasically stoppedkilling backbranches for thisyear, but unless

corrective measures aretaken next February/March, the killing backof branches will resumenext spring.

The key to manage-ment is preventing theinfection of flowers.Once flowers becomeinfected, they serve as asource of inoculum forthe rest of the tree. Since

the disease has gonedormant for the summer,you should wait until lateFebruary or early Marchto prune out the deadbranch tips.

The killed branch tipswill be black at the end ofwinter, when you will cutjust a few inches belowthe killed tissue. Youshould burn all diseasedwood after removing it.Then you can spray thetree with copper sulfateduring late winter dor-mancy (February/March)to kill any bacteria thathave overwintered. Nopruning should be doneduring the growing sea-son, since that encour-ages new growth whichis most susceptible tofire blight.
