FINDING THEPERFECT TREE B7

Though it’s still in the begin-ning stages, the Northern Ken-tucky Heroin Impact and Re-sponseWorkgroup ismakingpro-gress in its efforts to address the

area’s heroin epidemic.Thegroup, part of theNKYVi-

sion2015,beganwhenDr.JeremyEngel, a family doctor with St.ElizabethPhysicians inBellevue,started seeing a dramatic in-crease in heroin use among hispatients and relatives of his pa-

tients.Engel, who said he has always

been an activist for public healthin the area and been interested inhigh impact issues that affect thecommunity, said he quickly real-ized something had to be done.

“Heroin just seemed to be ev-

erywhere,” Engel said. “I real-ized that this is a problem thatNorthern Kentucky didn’t havethe resources to address.”

This led to the idea for theworkgroup, a committeemade ofup of health care professionals,law enforcement, and treatment

program representatives, work-ing together to research and ad-dress heroin-related issues.

Engelpresentedhis idea to theNorthern Kentucky Chamber ofCommerce at a health committee

For local residents whoaren’t quite up to date on thenewest technology, the Camp-bell County Public Library hasyou covered.

Just in time for the holidaygift giving season, the library isoffering classes to help becomefamiliar with iPads and NookeReaders.

AmandaNeace, the assistantprogramming director at the li-brary’s Cold Spring branch,said the classes are just anotherway the library works to helpthe community.

“As times are changing, thelibrary is working to be as rele-vant as possible,” Neace said.“We want to make the library aplace that people get help withthese things.”

To teach patrons about theNook eReader, the library isbringing in a Barnes & Noblerepresentative to talk about theproduct, its features, how to usethem and how it can be used toget free e-books from the li-brary, Neace said.

Neace said for iPad owners,freelance photojournalist Malin-da Hartong, a former photogra-pher with Enquirer Media, willgive an overview of the product,how to use it and how it can beused in conjunction with the li-brary.

Hartong, who was working atthe Enquirer when the iPad first

came out, said even though shehadn’t planned on it, she boughtan iPad the first day it came out,because she could tell it waswheremedia was headed.

Now Hartong, who doesfreelance work and teachesphotography classes, said sheuses the iPad in her businessand to teach.

“I just love to share this tech-nology and tips on how to use itwith everybody,” Hartong said.

Neace said along with offer-ing the classes, the library isworking to train staff on thenew technology so they can bet-ter serve patrons who come tothe library with the productslooking for help.

“The library isreallymakingan effort to address thesethings,” Neace said. “This is anew goal that we are making apriority.”

“My goal was to findthe people who were al-readymovingon this issueand get them all togetherto build a community ofpeoplemoving in the rightdirection,” Engel said.“Everyone needs to worktogether to identify whatwe need to do to addressthis problem.”

Now, Engel said thecommittee consist of doz-ens of advocates and ex-perts from various fields,broken down into threesubcommittees looking atassessing the currenttreatment options and in-surance issues, the impactof the heroin epidemicthrough harm and cost as-sessments, and a commu-nity response team, look-ing at way to provide re-sources and support forthose impacted by heroin.

“We have our leader-ship in place and everyday we get a little fartherin the process,” Engelsaid.

Fort Thomas Police

Chief Mike Daly saidwhen a representativefrom the chamber of com-merce initially called himabout joining the work-group, he was excited tohear that a group like thiswas in the works.

“The heroin epidemicin this area is so bad, this(group) is much needed,”saidDaly,who is oneof thecommittee members rep-resenting the NorthernKentucky Police ChiefsAssociation. “We all seethe issues the heroin epi-demic is causing in ourcommunities.”

Fort Thomas Lieuten-ant Rich Whitford, who isalso participating in thegroup, said he sees the af-fect of heroin every day inhis investigations.

“It’s really hard towrap your head around itwhen you think of all theways this epidemic is af-fecting this area,” Whit-ford said. “I’ve never seenanything like it.”

Whitford is part of thesubcommittee, led partlyby Daly, that is looking atthe impact heroin is hav-ing on the area and assess-ing the cost of this prob-lem center.

“We have a lot of workto do over the next fewmonths,” Daly said. “Thisis a huge project to takeon, but I think it’s going tomake such a big differ-ence.”

Engel said he hopes tohave aplan in place in Jan-uary.

Things are looking dif-ferentaroundCase’sGoldenLeaf Florist & Gifts lately.

Since new owner Cath-

erine Gausvik bought theSouthgate business in July,she has beenworking to re-juvenate and expand theshop.

Gausvik, a Fort Thomasresidentandformerstay-a-home mom, said owningthe business wasn’t some-thing she really planned,but with all three of hersons in college now, it justworked out, she said.

“Flowers have alwaysbeen a true love of mine,”Gausvik said. “This place isreally established, which is apositive thing, and it’s just socharming and appealing.”

Since she purchased thebusiness in July, Gausvik,with the help of hermotherand son, has worked to fixup with outside of the busi-ness with some new paint,landscaping and betterlighting,aswellasmoreap-pealing window displays.

Another big change hasbeentheadditionofavarie-ty of gift items, jewelery,and candy, including Re-becca Ruth Candies andKentucky cream candy.

Gausvik has also been

working to fix up the build-ing next the business, touse for thebusiness’s eventand wedding planning.

“Wewant people to knowthat we do more than justflowers,” Gausvik said. “Wewant them to stop in to seewhat new items we have.”

Gausvik updated thebusiness bygoing electron-ic instead of using hand-written receipts and rec-ords.

With no prior florist ex-perience, Gausvik said it’sbeen a learning process,but she’s had the help oftwo designers who havebeen with the company foryears, including formerowner Kim Dischar.

Dischar, who ran thebusinessforeightyears, in-herited itwhenherbrother,whoopened thebusiness 25years earlier, passed away.

“What she has done isexactly what needed to bedone,” Dischar said. “Ithink these are the kinds ofchanges that will bring inmore customers.”

ALEXANDRIA—Alexan-dria city officials have ap-proved site developmentplans for a new $7 millionadditionatBishopBrossartHigh School.

The city’s Planning andZoning Commission voted5-0 in favor of acceptingthe Catholic high school’splans during a Tuesday,Dec. 4, meeting.

Principal Richard Stew-art said the school antici-pates breaking ground onthe planned addition in thespring after awarding con-struction bids – probably inJanuary.

Donations in a capitalcampaign have already ex-ceeded the initial $7milliontarget, and solicitation formore funds is ongoing,Stewart said.

“Themore we can bringin, the more we can do,that’s sort of been ourman-tra with this,” he said.

Each of the two floors ofthe new addition will mea-sure about 17,800 squarefeet for a total ofmore than35,000 square feet, Stewartsaid.

Construction is expect-ed to be complete within ayear once work begins, hesaid.

A July 19 article in TheAlexandria Recorder con-tainedadetailed account ofschool representatives ex-planation of elementswith-in the edition.

The addition will createa new front entrance to theschool with an atrium andgrand staircase, trophyshowcase area and a spiritshop nearby. A new collegecounseling center will be

added, and a second coun-selor hired, said Stewart inthe story. Anewchapelwillbe built for class masses,and a library/media center,fine arts studio, classroomand more than 400-seattheater will all be part ofthe new space.

SinceJuly, amusicroomhasalsobeenadded into theplans, Stewart said.

The site plan for BishopBrossartwas approved 5-0,with planning and zoningmember Susi Thomas leav-ing themeeting temporari-ly citing a potential con-flict, in order to avoid vot-

ing on the school’s plan.Planning and zoning mem-ber Sonny Markus was notpresent for the meeting.

City Engineer FrankTwehues, of CDS Asso-ciates, said there are no

special conditions the cityis requesting to go into thesite plan.

Twehues said the firstset of site plans submittedby Bishop Brossart did notmeet zoning regulations.

There were mainlysome questions dealingwith the building height,parking spaces and storm

waterdetention toensure itmet the city’s zoning regu-lation requirements, hesaid.

“We feel that the appli-cant Bishop Brossart HighSchool meets the require-ments of the zoning andsubdivision regulations,”he said.

John Jewell, Planning

and Zoning Commissionchairman, congratulatedStewart and the project’sarchitect, Robert EhmetHayes, on theplannedaddi-tion at Bishop Brossart.

“I’m sure that’s going tobe a real nice facility foryour students, andbe a realnice facility for the com-munity,” Jewell said.

ALEXANDRIA — The Camp-bell CountyDayTreatmentCen-ter at Campbell County Schoolsis collectingbooks for thehome-less community in NorthernKentucky until Jan. 31.

The center provides in dis-trict education alternatives forstudents, and is located at 51Or-chard Lane, Alexandria.

Donations will go to the li-brary at the InterfaithHospital-ity Network of Northern Ken-tucky, said teacher TheresaSnyder, organizer of theschool’s Books from the Heartdonation drive. The school iscollecting new or gently usedbooks for children and adults

since the Interfaith HospitalityNetwork serves homeless fam-ilies, Snyder said. If they like abook, the people served by thenetwork are often able to take abook they like with them tokeep, she said.

Snyder said she works withstudents in grades 7-12, usuallyon a one-to-one basis.

Students from theDay Treat-ment Center routinely travel tothe network’s offices to help outtheyoungest childrenwith liter-acy by reading to them or mak-ing crafts, she said. It’s an ongo-ing service project for the stu-dents, Snyder said.

Snyder said she decided togive to the network because shehas a friend who interned, andshe knew they needed books.

For the students trips to thenetwork are also a lesson in dif-ficult situations other peopleare dealingwith, she said.Manystudents saw how families be-came homeless because of is-sues including losing a job orlosing a husband to deportationand having to try to continue toraise a family, Snyder said.

SCHOOL NOTES

DAYTON—When it comes to promot-ing literacy, Lincoln Elementary Schoolofficials say they’ll do anything they canto get children reading.

From a variety of reading programsin the classrooms to literacy informationfor parents, the school is working to pro-mote literacy and improve studentsreading scores, said Rosann Sharon,president of the school board.

“Anything we can do to get kids read-ing and get parents involved is a goodthing,” Sharon said.

To keep in line with their goal, theschool hosted a My Big Box of Booksevent Wednesday, Dec. 5.

The event, sponsored by ReadAlon-g.org and theNorthernKentuckyEduca-tion Council, included dinner, three ses-sions for parents about how to promoteliteracy and abox of books for each childvalued at $40-$50 each.

SuperintendentJayBrewersaidPollyPage,executivedirectorof theeducationcouncil, approached the school abouthavingtheeventaftershewascontactbya representative from ReadAloud.org.

Brewer said the school jumped at thechance to be part of this event.

“The kids get books and the parentsget training, that’s a great combination,”

Brewer said.Assistant principal Heather Dragan

said the event, geared to children ages0-6 and their caregivers, was promotednot only at the school, but in preschoolsand day care centers in the city, bringingin 73 families, 228 people total, for theevent.

Dragan said she was thrilled with theturnoutandhowtheywereable toget theyoungerkidsandtheir families involved.

“Early literacy is so important,wearereally trying to get parents reading to

their kids at an early age,” Dragan said.“Children who have at least 1,000 hoursormore of lap-time, where they are readto,aremuchmore likely tohavetheskillsthey need to succeed in kindergarten.”

CandaceKendle, president of ReadA-loud.org, a nonprofit organization thatpromotes reading aloud in families na-tionwide, said the group is working on anational campaign to get every childread to at least 15 minutes every day.

“We are trying to engage parents inreading strategies and teach them theimportance of reading every day,” Ken-dle said.

Whatmany don’t realize, Kendle said,is that the brain starts developing atbirth and is very active until the age of 4,making the early years vital to learningand literacy.

Kendle said statistics show that morethan half of the nation’s children are notread to on a regular basis, often becauseparents don’t know the importance ofearly literacy.

In those cases, students often strug-gle in school.

“This isn’t just about the teachers,”Kendle said. “If the kids aren’t readywith a strong foundationwhen they startschool, the teachers can’t build upon it.”

Swimming season is un-derway in Campbell County.Here is a look at local teams:

Campbell CountyThe Camels have a deep

team returning for sixth-year head coach Amy Dor-sey. She said several boysare threatening school rec-ords, and the girls team isyoungwith several promis-ing newcomers.

Returning starters in-clude Matthew Dreyer, Mat-thew Neiser, Kyle VanDru-ten,AdamLeopold,JohnLeo-pold, Kyle Houston, LoganSteele and Brandon Cart-wright on the boys team.Girls returners include AllyBaker, Kristen Spahr, NicoleRobertson, Amberlee Stem-mer andAllisonWest.

The preseason rosterhas 67 athletes, including19 divers.

Bishop BrossartSenior Jacob Mader re-

turns as the chartermember

of the Brossart swimmingprogram.Astheschool’s firstvarsityswimmerlastyear,hefinished third in the region inthe 200 individual medleyand fifth in the 100 breast-stroke. He qualified for statein the IM and finished15th.

His father and headcoach Richard Mader saidhis goal is to finish in thetop eight at state and earn amedal.

HighlandsThe Highlands swim-

ming program has alwaysbeen a top Northern Ken-tucky program in recentyears.

Head coach AmandaJohnson led the Bluebirds tothe regional combinedcham-pionship last season, theirfirstsuchtitlesince2006.Thecombined championship to-tals the boys and girls scoresduring the meet. While sin-gle-gender schools NotreDame and Covington Catho-licusuallydominatetheteamstandings, the Bluebirds andother co-ed schools takepride in winning the com-

bined title.The Highlands girls

team beat Cincinnati pro-grams Anderson, MountNotre Dame and Oak Hillslast year, and were fresh-man regional champions.

The Bluebirds are poisedformore, as Johnson said theprogram has around 55swimmers thisyear, the larg-est in school history.

“We still have a youngteam when it comes to theage and grade levels of ourathletes, however many ofour younger athletes havetwo or more years of statelevel experience,” Johnsonsaid. “Our team this yearalso has more depth thanwe have had in the past.Wehave a boys team now thatis almost as large as ourgirls team, which will helpwith our team finishes atregionals and state thisyear. This year’s team alsohasmoreyear-round swim-mers than in the past.”

The girls team is led byCarly Hill, a sophomoreand two-time defending re-gional champion in diving.

She finished sixth in thestate last year.

Freshman Shelby Whittsame in four events in thestate meet last year, help-ing the Bluebirds breakschool records in the 200free and 400 free relays. Inregionals, she was third inthe 500 freestyle andfourth in the 200 free.

Freshmen KatherineRedden andMadelineHub-er alsoqualified for state inthe 200 and 500 free, finish-ing top-seven in bothevents in the region, andalso swimming on bothfreestyle relays.

Eighth-graderBethAnnGriffithwasfourth inback-stroke in the regional meetand 28th at state. She wasalso on two state relays.

Another eighth-grader,Anna Foose, had two top-10finishes in the regionalmeet. Freshman BaileyFessler and junior LinneaEverland look to be the topnewcomers to the team.Everland, the oldest swim-mer on the team, is a for-eign exchange student

from Denmark.The boys team has one

senior inMaysonHurtt, theteam captain. He qualifiedfor state in the 200 and 500freestyle and also swamtwo relays at state, helpingHighlands finish fourth inthe 200 medley relay and400 freerelay in theregion-als. Hurtt was fifth in the200 free in regionals.

Junior Nathan Merklehas swam in two statemeets, competing in tworelays last year. He wasninth individually in the re-gional in two events.

Junior John MichaelGriffith, also a distance-running standout for High-lands, swam in the 200medley relay at state andhad two top-eight solo fin-ishes in the regional meet.Freshman Owen Downardswam in the 400 free relayat state and had two ninth-place solo finishes at re-gionals. Eighth-graderGreyson Pendery wasninth in the individualmed-ley at regionals and fresh-man Ben Wolber had two

top-15 solo finishes in re-gionals as well.

“For this year’s team, Ihope that both our girls’and boys’ team will im-prove their places at the re-gionalandstate levels.Thiswould entail more of ourswimmers and divers scor-ing in the Top 12 at the re-gionalMeet,” Johnson said.

Highlands starts theseason with a meet Dec. 12at Scott, then will take onAnderson Dec. 22 and OakHills Jan. 2 before return-ing to Scott for the ScottClassic Jan. 5

Swimmers make splash in Campbell CountyBy James [email protected]

Finally healthy and play-ing together, the HighlandsBluebirds have already ex-perienced ups and downs inthe season’s first twoweeks.The girls basketball team isoff to a 3-2 start in the firstfive games of a challenging2012-2013 schedule.

The first key to this sea-son was simply getting theplayerson thecourt togeth-er at the same time.

“Believe it or not we hadmore injuries in the presea-son then we do now,” saidhead coach Jaime Walz Ri-chey. “The girls understandthatwhen one of their team-mates is out, everyone elsemust do a little extra for ourteam to be successful.”

Ava Abner returns afternot playing basketball fornine months while recover-ing from a knee injury.FreshmanHaleyCoffeyhastakenover thestartingpointguard role and has per-formed well. One of thebenefits of dealingwith pre-season injuries was gettingquality reps for the non-starters. Sophomores AlexCombs and Lydia GravesandseniorEmiliePartonarenow contributing quality

minutes off the bench.The Bluebirds’ two

losses came to CincinnatiUrsulineandSacredHeart.In each game, Highlandscut the margin to twopoints, but could not over-come early deficits.

“In both of those gameswe got off to slow startsthat really hurt us, but inboth games we kept fight-ing, but could never get thelead,” said Richey.

These won’t be the onlytwo losses this season, butthe difficult scheduleshould prepare the Blue-birds for postseason play.Earlyseasonwinsaremoreof a confidence booster

than anything else. At thispoint, Richey just hopesher team learns somethingfrom each experience andstays levelheaded and con-tinues to steadily improveno matter the outcome.

Over the holiday break,the Bluebirds will play inthe Cougar Classic hostedby Conner High School.Playing against top compe-tition in and out of North-ern Kentucky will help theBluebirds reach their ulti-mate goals of district andregion championships.

“I think it helps with theplayers’ confidence morethan anything,” said Richeyof getting off to agood start.“Ultimately, theregularsea-son games are just scrim-mages as the real season,when the wins matter themost, is the postseason. Welearn fromwins or losses inthe regular season.”

The results so far haveshown the Bluebirds canplay with any team on theschedule. The girls justneed to showmoreurgencyfromtheopening tipoffandmoreofakiller instinct latein games. Falling behindearly and letting opponentshang around late havebeenearly-season bugaboos.

“The girls are realizing

we have to play hard on ev-ery possession and musttake care of the basketballbetter,” Richey said.“Whenwehavea lead in thefourth quarter we must doa better job of maximizingon our offensive posses-sions,but limiting theoppo-nents’ offensive posses-sions.”

The Bluebirds hostCooper at 2:30 p.m. Satur-day, Dec. 15, then have twoweeks off before playingthe Cougar Classic begin-ning on Dec. 27.

Looking to lower your month-ly payments? Are you looking toconsolidate debt?

In today’s recovering econo-my, these questions are top ofmind for many borrowers. Mil-lions of Americans are “un-derwater” or faced with thechallenge of owing more ontheir mortgages than theirhomes may be worth and arestruggling to make monthlypayments. With extended gov-ernment programs and current-ly lowmortgage rates, refinanc-ing may be a simple and bene-ficial option to help you andyour family save money andstay in your home.

In the sim-plest terms,refinancingyour homemortgage al-lows you toapply for a newterm and in-terest rate tohelp you payoff an existingloan.

By takingadvantage of a lower interestrate, you may be able to reduceyour monthly payments andlower your overall mortgagecosts.

This can be especially helpful

for underwater borrowersstruggling to make current loanpayments due to a change in afinancial situation or when facedwith other significant expenses.Money saved through refinanc-ing also may increase your indi-vidual cash flow and help youpay off or consolidate otherdebt, including credit cards.

Refinancing also may allowyou to shorten the length of yourmortgage term. If you haveadditional funds available, youmay be able to adjust your loanto a shorter term with a lowerinterest rate, which can ulti-mately help you pay off yourmortgage loan faster.

Many homeowners may beeligible for the government’senhanced Home AffordableRefinance Program (HARP),which was designed in 2009 tohelp underwater borrowersrefinance. During the fourthquarter of 2011, the FederalHousing Finance Agency an-nounced significant modifica-tions to this program, calledHARP 2.0, which has been ex-tended until December 2013.This program continues tochange, and some borrowerswho were not qualified underthe former programmay qualifyunder HARP 2.0.

The HARP 2.0 program can

benefit borrowers, who arecurrent on their mortgage pay-ments and have not had a latepayment in the past six monthsand no more than one late pay-ment in the past 12 months. Thisprogram is designed for borrow-ers whose existing loan has beensold to Fannie Mae and FreddieMac on or before May 31, 2009.

To help you understand ifrefinancing is right for you, youshould contact your currentmortgage lender or anotherfinancial institution to reviewyour available options.

Bob Lewis is senior vice presidentand head of Fifth Third Mortgage Co.

Bridge “crisis” all wrong.The solution is easier thananyone thinks. I recommendthe Midwest create a BrentSpence Lottery (B.S.L.). Therecent Powerball insanity isthe inspiration behind thisbrilliant concept.

The B.S.L. should be al-most impossible to win. Im-possible odds don’t seem todeter gullible people. I rec-ommend the B.S.L. use acombination of numbers,letters and animals to makethe odds as unobtainable asNorthern Kentuckians get-ting cancer from drinkingour water. Now that is asclose to impossible as youcan get.

Each week there will beno winners and that willmake the following week’stax refund scam even larger,causing more people tothrow money into the gov-ernment coffers. Soon theB.S.L. will be in the $500million range. Once thathappens, the bridge will befunded in no time. The goodnews is only gullible peoplewho play the B.S. Lotterywill waste their money.

I’m a little bit surprisedthat our talented local busi-ness leaders didn’t think of itfirst. There’s no need fortolls, therefore the federalgovernment can continue towaste almost $4 trillion peryear. For deep-thinkers, thatamount equals the cost of

building 1,600 Brent SpenceBridges per year. For thosewho can’t handle big num-bers, that amount equals $11billion per day or four BrentSpence Bridges per day.

Everyone wins. Incompe-tent and corrupt federal andstate politicians can continueto waste money and do what-ever it is they do all day. Wewill not need public-privatepartnerships where poli-ticians and businesses climbinto bed together and procre-ate something on taxpayersthat resembles Rosemary’sbaby. Our business leaderswill save $2 million dollars sothey will not have to passthat loss on to consumerslike us. The gullible idiotsthat play the lottery can feelgood about themselves anddream about being wealthyby doing nothing more thanstanding in line. I know itsounds crazy enough towork.

Now that I think about theBrent Spence Lottery, it’s aridiculous idea. Do you re-member back in 1989 whenthe Kentucky Lottery beganand helped transform ourchildren into rocket scien-tists? I don’t either! Insteadof our children becomingrockets, they became rocks.The Kentucky Lottery is justa tax-taking scam that hasconvinced useful idiots tovoluntarily give tax-takersmore money to waste.

Here’s a better idea. Irecommend legislation calledYou Neglected It, You PayFor It Legislative Act of2013. This bill will confiscatefederal pensions from allmembers of Congress since1970. All their pension fundswill be transferred to theBrent Spence Project. Onlyafter the bridge is rebuiltand paid off, will pensions berestored to these tax-takers.I like this idea better thantolls.

A solution to thebridge ‘crisis’

TomWurtzCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Our culture professes thatthe modern world of technology

is completelyindependentfrom the archa-ic sphere inwhich ourgrandparentsreside. I tooshared thisfeeling untilrecently, whenmy allusions assuch werequickly dis-mantled after

conducting several interviewswith the “elderly” of our society.

The majority of people inolder generations who have anaversion to technology do sobecause of their resistance tochange. Barbara Connor, a re-tired housewife living in Floridawith her husband William, hashad a difficult time adjusting tothe new technological age. Shesays, “I really dislike newthings, doesn’t matter what theyare. I resist change, but thenwhen I have it, I think it’s themost wonderful thing in theworld.”

It wasn’t only that the op-posed interviewees resistedchange in general, but they alsofound the pace of change to beoverwhelming. Helen Kreitz-burg, a retired retail managerliving in Pittsburgh, said, “Forpeople like me, who are justbeginning to use the device, it isreally frustrating because I amstill trying to get used to the oldversion when they come outwith something new.”

Shirley Dershowitz, fromNew York, has coined her erathe “sandwich generation” be-cause most of them let the tech-nological wave pass by withoutbecoming very involved with it.She says, “Little by little we willbe forced to use the computer,whether we like it or not ... we’rereally the sandwich generation.We are being forced to changebecause we have too many yearsleft.” AlthoughMrs. Dershowitz

is not ecstatic about this change,she understands it is bound tohappen and will approach thechallenge head on.

Instead of being “forced tochange” as Mrs. Dershowitzstated, many grandparents haveembraced this change, evenwelcomed it. For them, email,social networking and videochatting are used to communi-cate with family and friends.

Email is by far the most pop-ular Internet activity amongolder generations because it isthe easiest and most convenientform of correspondence. RobertPaul, my 72-year-old grandfa-ther who is also vice presidentof sales and marketing at MagnaGroup in Detroit, prefers email“because you don’t have to sitand wait around for an answer,which quite frankly, I don’t havetime for.”

Although the majority of theinterviewees said they did notoperate a social media account,those who did stated the fore-most reason was to increasecommunication with their

grandchildren. May Johnsonsays, “I only get on a few times ayear, and when I do, it is to talkwith Summer and Sydney (hergrandchildren). They don’t an-swer their phones anymore, soFacebook is the best way.”

Skype and other forms ofvideo chatting, although notexceedingly popular, are em-ployed in the same way. Marga-ret Schrand will not go outsidethe house without a full applica-tion of makeup, so she adheresto these same rules when video-chatting her children and grand-children. “Oh yes, I do enjoySkyping Kimberly and her chil-dren,” she says, “but of courseonly if my makeup is on.”

Although each participantpossessed a distinctive approachregarding his or her relationshipwith technology, prevalentthroughout each phone call wasthe theme of courage. Our grand-parents are diving into thisstrange and overwhelming realmof technology without an ounce ofexperience. Baptism by fire, youcould say. I am humbled that Ihad the chance to hear theseunconventional stories firsthand,but I also feel compelled to shareit with willing ears.

It is for that reason that I amwriting in my room on a Sat-urday afternoon. This is not astory of the meek and feeble,this is a story of determination,of not giving up. Although thisstrange new world has beenthrust upon them, the “old”people are adapting. ShirleyDershowitz couldn’t have put itbetter when she said, “As youknow, I don’t like things tochange, but of course the onlything in life you can guarantee isthat there will be change. Youmight not always be ready for it,but you sure as hell better learnto embrace it.”

It’s interesting how yourrequests coincide withcurrent events. The RuthLyons Children’s Fund is infull swing and I’ve hadseveral requests for herfamous coffeecake. It’s aspecial way to honor thiswomanwho has had such apositive impact on us.

Ruth Lyons’coffeecake

I have a few versions ofthis recipe,but this isthe onethat’s sup-posed to beRuth’soriginal.I’ve madethis twicenow, oncefollowingthe recipebelow and

once making it with 21⁄4cups flour, 11⁄2 teaspoonscinnamon, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt,1⁄2 cup oil, 2 teaspoonsvanilla and no vinegar.(The vinegar is used to“sour” the milk, making itmore like buttermilk). Imade a thin icing to glazeit, as well. The differencebetween the two wasslight. This is a straight-forward, simple coffee-cake. If you want a richertasting one with a thickercinnamon topping, I havemy holiday overnightcoffeecake on my blog.

1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, darkpreferred

21⁄2 cups flour1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon salt3⁄4 cup oil1 teaspoon vinegar1 cupmilk1 egg, lightly beaten1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Mix the first sixingredients. Add oil andstir until crumbly. Re-serve and set aside 3⁄4 cupfor topping. Add vinegarto milk, then add to sugarmixture. Add egg andsoda; mix well. Pour into asprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan. Sprinkle with top-ping. Bake 30 minutes.

My best clone ofWilliams-Sonomapeppermint bark

You didn’t think I couldlet the holidays go bywithout sharing yet anoth-er version, did you? Someof you have had trouble inthe past with the barkshattering/separating.That happens somewhateven with the purchasedbark, but this recipe keepsthat to a minimum, if atall. Out of all the recipesI’ve made for barkthroughout the years,using different meltingmethods and chocolates,I’ve come back to myclassic way of teachingstudents. By the way,check out the photo. Canyou tell which is mine andwhich is Williams-Sono-ma’s? I used Kroger realsemi-sweet and whitechocolate morsels.

2 cups semi sweet chocolatechips, divided into 11⁄4 cupand 3⁄4 cupmeasures

11⁄2 teaspoons peppermintextract, divided into 1teaspoon and 1⁄2 teaspoonmeasures

23⁄4 cups white chocolatechips, divided into 21⁄4 cupand 1⁄2 cupmeasures

1⁄4 cup crushed peppermintcandy

Line a cookie sheet

with one piece of foil,about 10 inches by 12 inch-es. Or do the same in a13-inch by 9-inch pan.

Put 11⁄4 cups semi-sweetchocolate in heat proofbowl. Set over a saucepanthat has 1 inch of steamingwater, making sure bowldoes not touch water. (Thisis a makeshift doubleboiler). Heat should beturned to low. Stir untilchocolate is just aboutmelted, then remove bowlfrom pan and stir 3⁄4cupmore in rest of semisweet

chocolate, a bit at a time,until all is melted. If nec-essary, put the bowl backon the pan to help melt. Ifthere’s any moisture onthe bottom of the bowl,wipe it dry. Stir in 1 tea-spoon of the extract andpour onto foil, spreadingin even layer. Tap pan oncounter to remove any airbubbles. Let sit at roomtemperature until justabout set, anywhere from15-20 minutes. When youpress your finger into thechocolate a very slightindentation will remain.

Put 21⁄4 cups white choc-olate in clean bowl andrepeat process for melt-ing, stirring in remaining1⁄2 cup chips after remov-ing bowl from pan. Stir in

1⁄2 teaspoon extract. Pourover chocolate layer andspread.

Sprinkle with candy. Ifnecessary, gently pressinto chocolate. Let set atroom temperature untilcompletely firm.

Peel bark off foil andbreak into pieces. Store,covered, at room temper-ature up to a month or so.If it’s extremely warm inthe house, store, covered,in refrigerator and bringto room temperature be-fore eating.

Question: If I go with a“live tree” versus a cutChristmas tree this year,what type of pine do yourecommend?

Answer: For planting inthe landscape after the

holidays, wegenerallyrecommendsprucesovermostpines orfirs, al-though theCanaan Firand Doug-lasfir (not a“true” fir)often per-formwell

here. Norway Spruce is afast grower, but SerbianSpruce and Oriental Spruceare a bit more showy. Somepeople like the ColoradoBlue Spruce.

The money usuallyspent on a disposable treecan be invested in a speci-men that can add value tothe landscape. However,care must be taken whenbringing a temperate treeindoors for any length oftime and then transplant-

ing it outdoors, especiallyin the winter. Here aresome pointers to increasethe chances of success.

» Living trees are gener-ally marketed as either

balled-and-burlapped orpotted plants. Expect to paymore for a living tree thana cut tree and realize thatnurseries may be reluctantto guarantee your purchasesince the tree will not beplanted during the normalplanting season.

» Consider where thetree will be placed in thelandscape. Most Christmastree species will eventuallyreach a height of at least40-60 feet, so appropriate

planning is essential.» Pick out the tree early

so that a nicely shaped,vigorous plant can bechosen. But plan to keepthe tree inside for no long-er than seven to 10 days. Inthe interim, go ahead anddig a wide hole where thetree will be transplanted.Store the tree outside,keeping the roots moist.Having the hole dug aheadof time will avoid anyproblems of inclementweather after the holidays.

»When it’s time to bringthe tree indoors, themainconcern is to protect the

plant from drying out.Avoid placing the tree neara fireplace, heater or warmair vent. Keeping the treeon the cool side is prefer-able. Place the tree in alarge tub or cover the rootball in plastic to avoidspilling water on the floor.Allowwater to evenly soakinto the root ball by apply-ing it as a slow stream, orsimply allow ice cubes tomelt into the soil ball. Don’tlet the root ball sit in water.

After Christmas, thetree should be plantedimmediately in the pre-dug hole outside, keeping

the top of the soil ball atthe soil surface, then cov-ering with 2-3 inches oforganic mulch, whichshould not touch the trunk.Water periodicallythroughout the winter,especially during warmerweather. In spring andsummer, water the plantonce every week, as youwould any other newlytransplanted tree.
