TANK was named NorthernKentucky Tri-ED’s first BOOSTAlly in March for the organiza-tion’s dedication to finding cre-ative solutions to help solveworkforce problems, accordingto Wade Williams, Tri-ED’s vice

president for business retentionand expansion.

“TANK has always done atremendous job. They just al-ways dig in and look for solu-tions to help companies,” saidWilliams. “This award allows usto recognize how important ourallies are in keeping companieshere. These companies and or-ganizations are instrumentalwith helping us solve prob-lems.”

According to Tri-ED’s2012 annual report,“Club Chef guaranteesridership through a passpurchase program andTANKprovides new ser-vice directly to the em-ployer.”

Aiello said helpingmeet workforce needs isan integral part ofTANK’s mission.

“We know that 75 per-cent of TANK passen-gers aregoing to or fromwork. There are a few

major employers on thatroad, so we workedhand-in-hand with theemployers to fix gaps inthe system,” said Aiello.“We extended an exist-ing route a couple ofmiles. That’s a toughwalk.”

Aiello said he was“thrilled with the recog-nition” from Tri-ED.

“The main thing isthat the award recogniz-es something that’s apart of our existing mis-sion: to help workforcedevelopment,” he said.“In the future, we lookforward to creatingmore relationships withmore businesses.

Assistant Superinten-dent for Personnel and

Community EngagementKim Banta has a simpleexplanation for the rashof security threats.

“It’s spring,” she said.“Youcanalmost tell everyspring you’re going tohave this, I don’t knowwhat to call it, spring fe-ver. It’s unusual that itwould all happen in oneweek like that, but it’s notunusual to get those.”

She also said makingthreats against a school

isn’t a joke.“Obviously we take it

seriouslyandtherearese-vere consequences,” saidBanta. She said studentscould be suspended or ex-pelled for taking part insuch threats.

Legally, making falsestatements about placingabomborotherweaponofmass destruction in aschool is considered first-degree terroristic threat-ening, a felonypunishable

by five to 10 years in pris-on.

“Juveniles can becharged with terroristicthreatening just like anadult, but in juvenilecourt. There are legal re-percussions to doing thisat school,” said KentonCountyPoliceChiefBrianCapps. “Falsely pulling afire alarm can get some-one charged with a crimeas well. It’s not a joke.”

Blue ribbons – an inter-national symbol of childabuse prevention – willsoon abound.

Elected officials,judges, law enforcement,business leadersandcom-munity agencies will pro-claim April as ChildAbuse Prevention monthin Northern Kentucky atTom Gill Chevrolet at11:30 a.m. Friday, April 5,at the dealership, 7830Commerce Drive, Flor-ence.

Following the ceremo-ny, guests may tie blueribbons along the whitepicket fencewhere they’llremain for the entiremonth.

According to informa-tion provided by TracyFuchs, director of devel-opment for the Florence-based Family NurturingCenter, the month is atime set aside “to recog-nize our collective re-sponsibility to prevent

and confront all forms ofchild abuse and neglecthere in Northern Ken-tucky.”

This region rankshigh-er than state and nationalaverages in the area ofchild abuse and neglectand Kentucky leads the

nation inchildabusefatal-ities.

“Children’s well-beingis an adult responsibility,”said Jane Herms, execu-tivedirectorof theFamilyNurturing Center. “Per-manentcultural change intheway a community pre-vents and responds tochildabuseoccursbyedu-cating adults and empow-ering individuals. Com-mitting time and re-sources to do this is an in-vestment in a betterfuture.”

According to the Ken-tucky Cabinet for Healthand Family Services, in2011,more than 5,000 chil-dren were reportedabused or neglected inBoone, Kenton andCamp-bell counties combined.

MORNING VIEW — Do-nations of clothes, foodand money poured intosouth Kenton County fol-lowing the March 2, 2012,tornadoesthat torethoughPiner and surroundingareas, but findingwhere itallwent isvirtually impos-sible.

While the NorthernKentucky Long Term Re-covery Committee(LTRC) mobilized volun-teers and organized gov-ernment agencies, corpo-rate partners and charita-ble organizations, dozensof groups throughout theregioncollectedfundsandusable items for the peo-

ple affected by thestorms.

Those donations werescattered among the sur-vivors, and tracking it alldown is complicated bythe number of organiza-tions involved and confi-dentiality of the recipi-ents, according to LisaRaterman, LTRC chair-person.

“We didn’t even talk interms of last names at ourmeetings, because confi-dentiality was so impor-tant,” she said.

More than 40 differentagencies, churches,groups and organizationswere involved in theLTRC, which acted as a“collaborative agent”bringing them together,

but they each handledmoney separately.

Former Piner BaptistChurch Pastor B.J. Dona-hue, who co-chaired theLTRC with Raterman,said in June that the com-mittee oversaw roughly$200,000 from donors tomeet the unmet needs ofthe community. Donahuesaid $100,000 of that mon-ey went through the PinerRelief Fund at Piner Bap-tist Church, but the re-mainder was held by theLTRC partners, who haddifferent restrictions forusing the funds.

“One account fromHuntington Bank was re-stricted to residents fromPiner, and another Hun-tington account was re-

stricted toKentonCounty.A Pendleton Countychurch’s funds could onlybe used in PendletonCounty,” said Raterman.“We just looked at thoseunmet needs from thecommunityandprocessedthem through the sepa-rate organizations, paiddirectly from the partneragencies to the vendors.Inorderforacompleteac-counting, we’d have tolook through paperworkfrom all the agencies. So,it’s hard to saywhat the to-tal dollar amount is, be-cause so many organiza-tions raised money andthere were so many or-ganizationsdoing somanythings.”

Raterman said the

committee consideredcreating one common ac-count, but they decidedadding more processingwas not the best answer.

“It worked well andwas the quickest way toget families help. We justused separate accountsand let the organizationsbe accountable separate-ly,” she said.

TheLTRChas sincebe-come part of the Ohio Vol-unteer Organizations Ac-tive in a Disaster, or OhioVOAD, that is a nonprofit501(c)(3) organization.

“In the future, donors

would be able to commitfunds to one unrestrictedaccount under theVOAD,” said Raterman.

Ohio VOAD, which isonline atwww.ohiovoad.org, is af-filiated with a national or-ganization, that helps con-nectdisasterreliefgroupsacross the country. Theycoordinate, cooperate,communicate and collabo-rate before, after and dur-ing a tragic event.

PARK HILLS — CovingtonCatholic High School studentshave to give back in order tograduate.

Each student at the privateinstitution is required to do 15hours of community serviceeach year, but according toprogram director Bill Snyder,the boys average almost twicethat much.

In 2012, more than 50 stu-dents received varsity lettersfor participating in 40 or morehours of community service.They also get a T-shirt with aBlues Brothers theme, be-cause Snyder said, “They’re ona mission from God.”

Last year, Covington Catho-lic students collectively per-formedmore than16,000 hoursof service.

Snyder said the studentshelp at Special Olympicsevents, go onmission trips dur-ing school breaks and performseveral other volunteer dutiesthrough more than 100 localagencies.

More than a quarter of theschool’s upperclassmen, or 67of the school’s 500-plus popula-tion, serve as tutors and men-

“It’s amazing to get thatkind of response. They reallywant to do it,” said Snyder.

“Weenjoy it, too.We love it,”said Nik Knipper, a senior whotutors students at Prince ofPeace School in Covington andSt. PaulCatholicSchool inFlor-ence.

“I like working with kids. Ithink it’s great bonding time,and I see things I could im-prove as an older brother andmentor and as a teacher,” saidKnipper.

His mentee, sixth-graderRoss Halverstadt, said he likesspending timewithhis bigbud-dy, too.

“He makes things fun,”Ross said.

CovingtonCatholic studentsTrevor Wendt and Jon Beiers-dorfer tutor younger studentsas well, and they also dugditches in Nicaragua last sum-mer.

“There are a lot of projects,not just tutoring,” said Wendt.“It’s important to be able to in-teract with people you don’t

know and build relationships.”Beiersdorfer expects to

have completed more than 160hours of service this year be-fore graduation. Wendt andKnipper aren’t too far behind.

Knipper, Wendt and Beiers-dorfer are also student ambas-sadors, members of the Na-tional Honor Society and sev-eral clubsaswell as intramuralteam players in more than onesport.

"They step right up to theplate. They want to do it. A lotof them have jobs, too. It’samazing,” said Snyder. “Thisservice is so goodbecause theycan see they’re doing some-thing that makes a differencein somebody’s life. So many ofthem give so much of them-selves to do this. I love it.”

Snyder said if studentsdon’tcomplete their community ser-vice requirement, they won’tgraduate.

As former Bengals headcoach Sam Wyche said longago, there is golf to be teed upand tennis to be served. As faras Kentucky high schools go,any golf action will be strictlypersonal or club play on thegreens. On the other hand, theofficial KHSAA tennis seasonis well under way as teamshave been to able to find dry, ifnot necessarily warm, courtsto hit on in March.

Here is a look at some localprep teams fromKentonCoun-ty. Many coaches did not sub-mit requested information.

Beechwood girlsBarbWentz, longtimedirec-

tor of the regional tournament,returns for her 19th year ashead coach of the Tigers girlsteam. Beechwood was runner-up last season in its first try inDivision II of the NorthernKentucky Athletic Confer-ence, and later was runner-upto Notre Dame in the regionalmeet.

Sisters Emily and Liz Paw-sat lead theway this year afterqualifying for state together indoubles in 2012.

Other returning startersare Savanah Jones and EllenCardosi. Other players towatch include Claire JohnsonandMonica Wessels.

Wentz said there’s little ex-periencebesidesherreturningstarters, so building that expe-rience is a priority.

Covington Catholic boysThe Colonels look to make

their usual noise in the region-al and state tournaments. Cov-Cath was conference and re-gional champions for the 11thstraight year.

Sophomore Austin Husseywas regional champion lastyear and made a name on thestate scene by reaching thequarterfinals of the state tour-nament. Other returning start-ers include senior Ben Reis insingles, and seniors ScottDrees, Ryan Cunningham and

Joe Kendall in doubles. Dreeswas half of the regional cham-pions last year and reached thethird round at state. Cunning-ham and Kendall were region-al runner-up and reached thesecond round at state.

Other players to watch in-clude sophomore Laine Har-rett, junior NathanWichmann,junior C.J. Moellering andsophomore Parker Kennedy.

The Colonels have a lot ofmatches this year againststatewide and Cincinnati com-petition.

“This is the toughest sched-ule we have had in over a dec-ade,” said head coach Al Hert-senberg. “We have a lot of op-tions in front of us. The focuswill be to solidify a steady line-up before the regional tourna-ment.”

Dixie Heights girlsVeteran basketball coach

Ken Chevalier takes over onthe outdoor courts with the bignets in the middle this spring.His Colonels had a 3-1 start to2013 with wins over Villa Ma-donna, St. Henry and Calvaryand a 3-2 loss to 10th Regionpower Highlands.

Freshman Brooke Wardenqualified for state in singleslast year after reaching the re-gional semifinals.

Junior Skyler Petty playsthird singles. Sophomores An-na Starosciak and Jesseca Le-

suer have valuable varsity ex-perience. Sisters Lindsey andKristen Snider should makenoise at first doubles. Middle-schoolers Alaina Moore andAnnie Atkinson add qualitydepth.

Lloyd boys/girlsRhonda Smith is the boys

head coach in addition to thegirls team this year at Lloyd.

She returns three startersin senior Joe Luken at secondsingles and doubles playersJarice Ewell (senior) and TimMain (junior).

The coach has been verypleased with the team’s prac-tice and conditioning leadinginto the season, with the play-ers constantly trying to workon things.

“We have been able to get alot of athletes to come out thisseason,” shesaid. “Theywill bevery competitive not only withother teams, butwith each oth-er, pushing each other to be thebest they canbe on the court aswell as off the court.”

Smith returns for her ninthseason as girls head coach. Shehas five returning starters in-cluding senior Felicia Pelfrey,senior Shelby Phillips, seniorsSophia Perry and JoeyKleisin-ger and junior Maggie Lewis.

Pelfrey returns at first sin-gles, while Phillips and Lewismove from doubles to singlesthis year. Perry andKleisingerare returning doubles players.Pelfrey has a chance tomake adeep run in the regional.

“Most of the varsity will beseasonedveterans, theywill behungry to win and they areplaying in spots that they wantto play in,” Smith said. “Nowwe just need to findagooddou-bles team that works well to-gether to round out the varsitysquad.”

A8 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • APRIL 4, 2013

This ranking is cause for shameIt’s not always a good thing

to be at the top of a list. In aregion ranked among the bestin the country for collegesports, places to raise a familyand start a business, there is

one rankingmany of usmay not beaware of andone wemustchange imme-diately. Ken-tucky is one ofthe top – mean-ing worst –states in thenation forfrequency ofchild abuseand deaths due

to non-accidental trauma.Child abuse is an unspeak-

able injustice that doesn’t dis-criminate against race, reli-gion or socioeconomic status.Each year in Kentucky thereare more than 14,000 substanti-ated reports of abuse and ne-glect. The result is that Ken-tucky averages 30 to 40 childdeaths each year involvingabuse and neglect, with anoth-er 30 to 60 near fatalities annu-

ally. Also, children who survivephysical abuse often are leftwith lifetime debilitating in-juries. Equally as heartbreak-ing to know is that child abuseis completely preventable.

We see firsthand the devas-tating effects of abuse to ourchildren on a far too regularbasis. Incidents of child abusemust become a top priority forKentucky residents. It is criti-cal that we band together, ashealth care professionals, edu-cators, lawmakers, businessleaders, community membersand human beings, to eliminatethis horrible blight on our re-gion.

Sadly, a number of factorsand pressures impact childabuse, including a lack of un-derstanding of how childrendevelop and expectations ofhow a child should behave.Patterns of alcohol and sub-stance abuse, financial pres-sures, job loss and the inabilityto provide for the family cancause a parent to feel over-whelmed, unable to cope andmore likely to lose control ofemotions and tempers whenpressures become too great.

The best way we can elim-inate child abuse within ourcommunity is through preven-tive education and resourcesfocused on teaching parentsand other caregivers how toreact when tensions run highto prevent situations fromgetting out of control; helpingparents understand the impor-tance of knowing and trusting

the people they leave theirchildren with; and recognizingthe signs and knowing how toreport incidents of abuse orsuspected abuse.

Understanding the long-reaching effects of child abusealso is important in the cam-paign to eliminate it forever.For the children who are luckyenough to survive physicalabuse, their trauma doesn’tend when the hitting, punchingand shaking stops.

For many child abuse survi-vors, the emotional and fi-nancial burdens impact thefamily and caregivers, andextend throughout the commu-nity as well. The aftermath ofphysical abuse usually re-quires ongoing treatment andtherapy and often results inirreversible brain damage andlimits cognitive development,causing lifelong learning andsocialization challenges.

What can you do? First, beaware of tips and steps to stay-ing in control to prevent abuse.Remember that it is normal tofeel frustrated when a baby oryoung child cries, but alsoremember that crying is the

way a baby or young childcommunicates. If you are feel-ing frustrated or angry – take abreak. It’s OK to leave thebaby in a crib or other safeplace while you take a momentto regroup. Use extreme carewhen deciding who can watchyour child. If you don’t havetotal and complete trust in theperson, then don’t trust him orher with your child. Be awarethat bruising is not normal on ayoung baby who is not yetwalking. If you see bruising onyour baby, seek medical atten-tion immediately.

Second, know how to reportchild abuse. Federal and statelaws require that you reportany suspected child abuse, andyou have several options to doso. In situations involving chil-dren in immediate danger, call911. In Kentucky, if you needan immediate response to yourreport, call the Kentucky ChildProtection Hotline toll free24/7 at 877- 597-2331. Anony-mous calls are accepted.

PARTNERSHIP TOELIMINATE CHILDABUSEApril is Child Abuse Preven-

tion Month. Newspaper inKentucky are working in cooper-ation with the Partnership toEliminate Child Abuse to pro-vide information includingguest columns throughout Aprilin the Recorder.

Following the 2012 electioncycle, there was widespreadoptimism across Kentucky forwhat the General Assemblyhad the ability to accomplishduring the 2013 legislativesession.

All the stars were aligningwith fresh, new leadership inthe Kentucky Senate under the

guide of Presi-dent RobertStivers. Recentsessions of theGeneral As-sembly havemissed oppor-tunities toproduce need-ed and sub-stantive publicpolicy changesto not onlyadvance this

region, but the entire common-wealth. The 2013 General As-sembly will go down in historyas one that saw lawmakerscome together to solve themost pressing issues impactingour future.

There was no greater issuefacing the state than the re-form of our public pensionsystem. Schools don’t have thefunds to purchase textbooksfor students. Roads andbridges are deteriorating.Critical public investmentneeds are unable to be met.These problems may be attrib-uted to the fact that the $30+billion unfunded liability of ourpublic pension system waslimiting the state frommeetingits obligations.

During 2012, the NKYChamber monitored and sup-ported the efforts of the bipar-tisan, bicameral Task Force onPension Reform. The result ofthat Task Force was Senate Bill2 (sponsored by NKY Legisla-tive Caucus Member and Sen-ate Majority Floor LeaderDamon Thayer) which offeredsubstantial policy changes tothe public pension system toput it on a sustainable path.

Senate Bill 2 worked its waythrough the legislative processcreating spirited debate and

meeting many challenges.Because of what had beenwitnessed in previous legisla-tive sessions, many were quickto write off the possibility itspassage. In a time when everypublic dollar must be investedwisely, the actions of the Gen-eral Assembly have put Ken-tucky back on a path wheredollars can be appropriated tokey areas like education andeconomic development.

Our elected officials did notstop there. In addition to solv-ing our state’s own version ofthe “fiscal cliff” in its publicpension system, the GeneralAssembly also passed otherimportant pieces of legislation,each having their own legacy-like implications. These billsinclude:

» Special Taxing DistrictReform/House Bill 1was aresult of the work of AuditorAdam Edelen and will bringgreater transparency for tax-payers through a centralizedregistry for Kentucky’s specialtaxing districts. It requiresdistricts to create that demon-strate funds are being used fortheir intended purposes.

»Heroin Epidemic Solution/House Bill 366 was promotedby the NKYHeroin ImpactTask Force to allow third par-ties to administer nasal nalox-one as an opioid overdosetreatment. Northern Kentuckynow has a treatment tool tocombat the heroin epidemicand improve the chance forrehabilitation of users to be-come productive members ofsociety.

»High-School Dropout Age/Senate Bill 97 gives local dis-tricts the ability to raise thedropout age from16 to 18. Once55 percent of local school dis-tricts adopt the policy, allschool districts will then berequired to adopt the compul-sory attendance requirement.This bill will ensure our stu-dents are prepared for the 21stcentury workforce.

» Industrial Hemp/SenateBill 50 creates a structure forthe regulation and production

of what could be Kentucky’snext great cash crop: industrialhemp.

Of course there were itemsthat did not get addressed bythe General Assembly, but theNKY Chamber will be workingon major priorities for the nextlegislative session. Our No. 1priority will be to build a newBrent Spence Bridge (BSB)Corridor safer, quicker andwith the most positive benefitto the region.

Although challenges re-main, we should spend thistime acknowledging and thank-ing members of the KentuckyGeneral Assembly for beingthe leaders we need. In thepast, we have come to expectpartisan gridlock to be a barri-er to solving complex issues.Fortunately, 2013 was differ-ent. This General Assemblycame into the legislative ses-sion with new ideas to benefitbusinesses, employees, andcitizens and… they deliveredthe results we needed.

Recent letters have statedRepublicans have changed.However, neither Republicannor Democrat parties havechanged much. Their princi-ples are the same.

But first,it appearsfrom otherwriters thatDemocratshave conced-ed points thatit was Demo-crats who ledthe Confeder-acy’s fight tocontinueslavery, cre-ated segre-

gation after the Civil War andthat Democrats created theKKK to intimidate blacksinto submission. They can’tdeny it.

Now Democrats revisehistory. Democrats refer toLincoln as a “progressive” tomake people think he was aDemocrat, call Southernsegregationists “conserva-tives” to make people thinkthey were Republicans. EvenBarack Obama even wrapshimself in Republican Lin-coln’s mantel.

The Republican Party wasformed by a group of peopleopposed to slavery. Theyeither wanted to contain it inthe South or abolish it alto-gether. Abolitionists likeFredrick Douglass becameRepublicans.

Abraham Lincoln was thefirst Republican U.S. Presi-dent. He freed slaves andurged the Republican dom-inated 39th Congress to passthe 13th Amendment whichoutlawed slavery. Lincolnsigned it. It went to the stateson Feb. 1, 1865. and ratifiedon Dec. 6, 1865.

Shamefully, KentuckyDemocrats voted against the13th, 14th and 15th Amend-ments in the late 1860s and

didn’t ratify them until 1976because they were afraid theformer slaves would takeover the state.

Thomas Jefferson is cele-brated now as the first Demo-crat President. He tried tolegitimize slavery, but failed.He owned 200 slaves, themost notable of whom, SallyHemmings, bore him chil-dren.

See the difference? Re-publican Lincoln freed slavesand helped outlaw slavery.Democrat Jefferson ownedslaves and had sex with atleast one of them.

Democrats claim the 1964Civil Rights Act as proof thattheir party changed. But, itwas the Rev. Dr. Martin Lu-ther King Jr. who coercedPresident Lyndon Johnsoninto supporting the act. Kingand his father, Martin Sr.,were registered Republicans.

In 2010, the South electedthe first black Republicancongressmen since 1935, Rep.Tim Scott, (S.C.), now a U.S.Senator, and Lt. Col. AllenWest (Fla.). West was defeat-ed for re-election in 2012 by aDemocrat.

Republicans haven’tchanged. We are still theparty of liberty and life.Democrats haven’t changed,either.

While Democrats claim tobe “the party of the people,”they always leave out twomost critical words, “controlof.”

From the people control ofslavery, segregation and theKKK to thuggish unions, ourmediocre public schools, toinitiative robbing welfareprograms, to ObamaCareforcing us into a governmenthealth care, the Democratsare enslaving people all overagain.

Ted Smith is former chairman ofthe Kenton Co. Republican Party.

A publication of

INDEPENDENCE — Somethinghealthy is sprouting in south Ken-ton County.

“The local food movement isgetting bigger and bigger and big-ger,” said AmyPowell, a third-gen-eration farmer known for growingbeautiful flowers and several va-rieties of heirloom tomatoes at At-wood Village Family Farm.

Powell has partnered with Bar-ry Schlimme of Red SunflowerFarm to start the SustainableFarmShareCooperative, a commu-nity supported agriculture (CSA)venture.

Farmshare produce will alsocome from a third grower, Gretch-en Vaughn of Greensleeves Farmin Alexandria.

Their plan is to offer the mosthealthy, vibrant, all-natural pro-ducetotheregion,startingApril17.

More information about Farm-Share is available at the website,www.farmsharecsa.com, butSchlimme says it’s simple.

“We’d rather take a bullet thanput poison on your food,” he said.“We can walk out there and take abite of anything. It’s only beentouchedbythesunandtherain,andit’s the most nutrient-rich, healthyfood you can get. We are what weeat.”

At all three farms, everything iscertified naturally grown, and nochemicals or fertilizers are used,Vaughn said.

Their nine-week spring shares,limited to 35 participants, are ex-pected to include beets, carrots,chard, kale, lettuce, radishes, peas,spinach and turnips.

“We have some good surprisesup our sleeves,” said Schlimme.“Peoplewhojoin inknowtheyhaveto go with the flow of Mother Na-ture and the farmers. They feelstrongly enough about joining aCSA to take that risk. Even if theseason starts light, they knowthey’ll make up for it in the heat ofthe season.”

Schlimme felt the heat while heboiled 400 gallons of sugar maplesapwater tomake15gallonsofma-ple syrup.

He set up 83 taps to collect allthat sap, and said he wanted to seehowmuch syrup he couldmake.

Maple syrup is one of the add-ons shareholders can purchase,along with herbs, eggs, bread andflowers.

Greensleeves CSA membersare in the process of planting 400nut and fruit treespeoplecanspon-

sor individually in memory ofsomeone and then share in the har-vest, said Vaughn.

Shareholderswillbeable topickup their produce at distribution lo-cationsinFortWrightandNewporton Wednesdays or on Saturdays inVilla Hills. Powell and Schlimmeare looking for another location innorthern Campbell County for Sat-urday pick-ups, and they’ll offer ahalf-price share for the help.

Schlimme also invites people tocheck out his farm.

“Come see what we’re doing.We’re doing what we say we’re do-ing,”he said. “Community support-ed agriculture is really a greatname for it. It’s a way for a bond tobecreatedbetween the farmerandthe consumer.”

Powell helped Schlimme create“yellow sticky traps” to catch theflea beetles that ate so much of hiseggplants’ leaves “they looked likelace.”

“It takes a lot more time thanspraying,but Iwasable tostaytrueto myself and my customers,” hesaid.

Eggplants are expected for thesummer shares, along with basil,cucumbers, green beans, okra, to-matoes, summer squash and sweetcorn.

Fifty summer shares will beavailable.

“A lot of people like corn and to-matoes who don’t eat kale or bokchoy or kohlrabi,” saidPowell. “Wewillbeofferinglotsandlotsof triedand true recipes for things peoplearen’t used to eating. People whoare getting kale every week anddon’tknowwhat todowith it.Thereare somanyways to cook these de-licious foods. It’s so exciting.”

Fall shares, for nine weeks inOctober and November, are to in-clude cabbage, carrots, lettuce, po-tatoes,spinach,sweetpotatoes, tur-nips, winter squash andmore.

Schlimme and Powell each planto grow 40 percent of the Farm-Share offerings, and Vaughn willcontribute the other 20 percent.

“The real advantage of havingall three of us working together isthat I can’t grow potatoes to savemy shirt. Gretchen has a hard timegrowing squash, but she’s great atpotatoes. So I’m going to take hersquash and she’s going to growmypotatoes. We’ll take our own per-sonalstrengthsandoursoilsanddoour best,” said Schlimme.

store to make one of myfavorite, healthy greenbean salads. Here it is,and if you don’t have redonion, use a bit less of awhite or yellow, or even asweet onion. And if youronions are sprouting, youcan eat the green sproutsalong with the onion. Usethe onion quickly, though,because once it sprouts,the bulb loses textureand weight.

Readers want toknow about cilantroand coriander

Cilantro is an annualherb that likes coolerweather. If it gets too hotor too much sun, you’llsee it quickly bolting toseed. The seed is calledcoriander.

Cilantro and coriandercan’t be used inter-changeably, as cilantro isthe leafy part of the herband has a citrusy, greentaste, quite distinctive.

The seed, coriander,has more of a lemonyprofile. Cilantro cools ahot tummy and is used inAsian, Indian, and South-western foods. Add it thelast fewminutes of cook-ing time, as it doesn’thold up in extended heat.

Plant cilantro in earlyspring and, if you want acontinual harvest, plantseeds every couple ofweeks.

Cilantro helps removetoxic metals like mercu-ry from the body and

contains powerful antiox-idants for good overallhealth.

Question: Is it tooearly to plant potatoes?

Answer: In Kentucky,potatoes can be grownas an early crop forfresh use in early sum-mer and as a late cropfor table use in winter.

Both white-skinnedand red-skinned varie-ties are commonly plant-ed, but other colors alsodo well here. Choose anearly-maturing varietyand a medium- to late-maturing variety.

The planting time forearly potatoes is normal-ly from March 1 to April10, but due to our coldspring, now would be agreat time to plant theearly crop. Wait untilJune 15 to plant the latecrop, which will gener-ally give a lower yieldthan the spring planting.

Raised beds or in-ground beds both canyield good harvests ofpotatoes. Of course, theraised beds warm morequickly and can be

plantedearliermostyears.Recentlyturned-under sodmay havepopula-tions ofgrubwormsand/or

wireworms which cancause damage to devel-oping potato tubers un-less soil insecticides areused.

The yield of potatotubers is influenced byseason, variety, mois-ture availability and theamount of nutrient ele-ments available to theplant. Highest yields areobtained in years withcool springs and ade-quate moisture through-out the season.

» Fertilizers: Potatoesrequire large amountsof fertilizer. A soil pH of6.0 to 6.5 is considered

most desirable; howev-er, potato scab diseasewill usually be less whenpH is between 5.0 and5.2.

In addition to thebase application of fer-tilizer worked into thegarden soil, add about1/4 pound of 10-20-10 foreach 75 feet of row.Work this into the bot-tom of the furrow andmix with soil before

putting down the seedpieces.

» Seed Selection andPlanting: Local nurser-ies and garden centersoften carry “seed pota-toes” for planting. If youare looking for unusualcolors of potatoes, likepurple, blue, red or yel-low, you may also wantto search out onlinesources such as IrishEyes Garden Seeds,

Gurney’s Seeds, Burpee,or Park Seed Company.

Try to purchase certi-fied seed stock. The“certified” means thatstock has been inspectedfor diseases which causelow yields. Seed pota-toes should be firm andunsprouted.

Cut the “seed pota-toes” into “seed pieces”weighing about 2 ounceseach for planting. Eachseed piece should havetwo to three buds or“eyes.” Potatoes weigh-ing about 6 ounces willcut into three piecesnicely. The early crop ofpotatoes should be plant-ed in furrows 3 to 5 inch-es deep, and the latecrop should be planted 5to 6 inches deep. Seedpieces should be spaced10 to 12 inches apart, andfurrows should be about36 inches apart.

Being on a constantjourney to stay healthy(and at a certain weight)I’m always on the lookoutfor that next little ofnugget of informationthat gets memotivated

andkeeps megoing.

Sometime ago,in aneffort toencour-age eat-ing morefruit inourhome, weadopted

a “fruit first” rule. Theidea is that if it’s betweenmeals and someone in thehouse is hungry you eatfruit first (i.e. beforecookies, candy etc.) If itis mealtime, there isalways fruit on your plateand you eat the fruit firstthen too, before otheritems on your plate.

The reason we eat thefruit first at mealtime isthat typically fruits aremore acidic than otherfoods, and as they gothrough your digestivesystem they clear outother “garbage” thatmight be lurking fromprevious meals and

snacks and pave the wayfor healthy digestion ofyour current meal.(Great cure for minorindigestion and heart-burn.)

I’ve recently begun toreally investigate fruitsin an overall healthy diet.With so many diet plansand nutritionists steeringtheir clients clear offruits I became frustrat-ed, often wanting to yellto the next diet guru,“Fruit didn’t get me 50pounds overweight.”

After much investiga-tion however, there mightbe one minor need toraise awareness regard-ing the timing of ourconsumption of fruits(not the avoidance ofthem) throughout the day.

The naturally occur-ring sugars in most fruitsare higher than in mostvegetables. And althoughit is “natural sugar,” ifnot converted to energyit gets stored as fat.

And there is no ques-tion about fat; it takes upgreater space in my bodyand is harder to burn .

Eating more fruitsearlier in the day, allowsmy body time to convertthose sugars to energyand burn the energyrather than storing it as

fat.There are also fantas-

tic ways to get more acid-ic veggies into my dietlater in the day that willalso encourage healthydigestion if eaten first.Sliced tomatoes on myplate and adding sauer-kraut as a side dish moreoften are excellentchoices. And, if you can’tfind a veggie that is toyour liking, simply add-ing lemon juice in yourwater, or a splash of vine-gar to your salad canboost the acidic value inyour foods and promotehealthy digestion andweight loss too.

As you begin or con-tinue your weight lossjourney, remember, thenatural foods of thisworld were created justfor you; your pleasure;your enjoyment; and yourhealth. So don’t eliminatethem from your diet,simply remember thattiming really is every-thing.

Americans seem to beadding cheese to moreand more dishes. And,adding more and morecheese to those dishes.

Cheeseconsump-tion inAmericahas in-creasedover theyears.Accordingto the In-ternationalDairyFoodsAssocia-

tion (IDFA) in 2011Amer-icans consumed an aver-age of 33.5 pounds ofcheese per person. Thisis the second highestamount on record.

The most popularcheese recipe in theUnited State is macaroniand cheese according tothe IDFA.

Take a fewminutes tothink of all the foods youeat that include cheese.You may be surprised todiscover all of the foodsthat have cheese in them.

Cheese provides someimportant nutrients in-cluding protein and cal-cium in our diets. How-ever, cheese can alsoprovide significantamounts of fat, saturatedfat, and sodium. If youare working to improveyour heart health oroverall health, you maywant to take a closer lookat your cheese consump-tion.

A single slice ofAmerican cheese usuallyprovides between 70 and110 calories with morethan 70 percent of thosecalories coming fromfat. One ounce of part-skimmozzarella pro-vides about 72 calories

while one ounce of ched-dar cheese has about 114calories.

While cheese can be agreat addition to foodsand your eating plan, youmay want to consider thekinds and amounts ofcheese you use.

Consider the follow-ing tips for getting themost from the cheesesyou choose.

» Choose stronglyflavored cheeses. Youmay then use less ofthem. Parmesan and bleucheeses might be ones toconsider.

» Opt for hard or natu-ral cheeses instead ofprocessed cheeses. Hardcheeses tend to havefewer calories from fat.

» Consider the portionsize. A one-ounce portionof cheese is about thesize of two dice or about1/4 cup shredded cheese.

»Decide to limit theitems you add cheese to.Do you need a cheese-burger or would a ham-burger suit you as well?Does cheese need to goon every sandwich youeat?

»Use less. Opt for oneslice of cheese instead oftwo, and use less on yourpizza or chili.

After looking at yourcheese eating habits youmight choose to make asmall change or two.Cheese can be an impor-tant part of a healthyeating plan, but you maybe able to improve youroverall health if youmake some smallchanges in your cheesechoices.
