UNION — Sarah Meece is asurvivor.
Having weathered many“storms” in her life – from thedeath of her mother, to breastcancer to domestic violence –the 55-year-old Union residentsaid shegives all credit toGod.
“I don’t know how peoplemake it through devastatingevents in their lives withoutknowing the love of God,” shesaid. “I certainly credit Godfor my survival, as well as myhappiness today.”
Since 2009,Meece, a retiredRyle High School teacher, hasdedicated her life to reachingout to others sharing God’slove and great strength. She’sdone this throughmotivationalspeaking and most recentlypublishing her first book, “ADose of Hope.”
“I always felt God nudgingme to serve others in this kindof way,” she said. “I’ve beenthrough a lot in my life.Through all the storms, Godhas really walked beside me.Now this is the time for me togivebacktoGodandotherpeo-ple, giving them peace andcomfort.”
She hopes that her book of“straight-from-the-heart” de-votions will do just that by ad-dressing many important is-sues individuals are confront-ed with in their daily lives.
According Meece’s mentorandendorserofherbook,Lato-
nia Baptist Senior Pastor DanFrancis, the book is sure tomeet her goals.
“To know Sarah is to knowhope,” he said. “Hope is notjust an idea, but a reality in herlife. In the book, she grabs ahold of what I would call theneck of the reality and faith.You will experience the re-demptive reflection of a wom-

“We know that this isimperative for our stu-dents to not only obtainthe skills they need forthe workplace, but toalso have the sense ofhope, well-being, andengagement they needto be ready to learn,”Cheser said.
Project Director forEducation and YouthDevelopment for theAASA Bryan Joffe saidthe organization is look-ing forward to workingwith Boone County.
“We were very im-pressed with BooneCounty Schools’ appli-cationandtheirfocuson21st century skills,” hesaid. “We’re excited tobe working with BooneCounty and the North-ernKentucky region. Inour work we’re con-cerned about collegeand career readiness.Schools can’t do it alone,they need a concertedeffort from those in thecommunity.”

Working with AASAand the Forum, Chesersaid the district wants tofocus on middle and highschool expanding learn-ing opportunities thatbest exemplify 21st cen-tury skills –collaboration,communication, criticalthinking and creativity.These might include ro-boticsprograms,creativethinking clubs, or tech-nology-driven cadres.
Cheser said the dis-trict intends to build thedistrict’s capacity and in-frastructure, as well asensuring sustainabilitythrough the followingmeans:
» Conducting an envi-ronmental scan on whatcurrently is working andwhat isn’t, identifiy thecurrent community part-ners and volunteers, andhow many students arebeing served.
» Analyzing districtand school expendituresonexpanding learningop-portunities to determinepossible reallocations,how the district might re-align funds from existingless-21st century-focusedofferings to those thatwould serve more stu-dents in more effectiveways.
» Determining how
district staff positionsmight be restructured toestablish a point personfor expanding learningopportunities, possiblymultiple persons whowould take on responsi-bility for leading specifictypes of opportunities;and
» Intentionallyrecruiting additionalcommunity partners andvolunteers, as well asidentifying potential ser-vice learning and prob-lem-based learning op-portunities within thecommunity.
Four other districts re-ceived the grant includ-ing the District of Colum-bia Public Schools inWashington, D.C.; Jeffer-son County PublicSchools in Louisville;Goochland County PublicSchools Virginia in part-nership with RichmondPublic Schools; and Met-ropolitan Nashville(Tenn.) Public Schools.These districts are muchlarger, urban districts,Cheser said.
Boone County Schools,she said, is the third larg-est district in the state,serving more than 20,000students within 24schools. The districtserves students in urban,suburban and rural set-tings, with more than 50languages representedand about 40 percent ofstudents participating infree or reduced lunchprograms.

Mary Steele, 70, ofFlorence, started In theLoopaboutayearago.Shesaid it had been organizedbefore and they met forseveral years, but eventu-ally went separate ways.
Since it’s started upagain, she said they’vehad asmany as 24 partici-pants show up from 10a.m. to noon on Mondays.Members range from age7 to 80.
“It’s a great thing,” shesaid. “We chat and have a
from those who havemore experience with theart.
Mary, who has beenknitting since she was achild, said even she’slearned new tricks. She’sthankful that In the Loopprovides an opportunityto connect with herdaughters and this long-time family tradition.
“I like that I’m passingon a piece of our family’sheritage (knitting),” she
good time. Everybodyhelps each other. It’s goodfor us to get out and bewith other women.”
Katy Kindred, 82, ofFlorencesaidsheappreci-ates the fellowship.
“We talk and help eachother,” she said. “Knittingand crocheting are nicethings to do together.”
Kindred has been cro-cheting since she was 7,when she learned the skillfrom her great-aunt.
“My great-aunt wasvery upset with mymoth-er for waiting at my ad-vanced age of 7 and stillnot teaching me how towork with my hands,”Kindred said. “So shetaught me. She’d alwayssay the devil finds workfor idle hands. Well, sinceshe taught me how to cro-chet, I haven’t had idlehands.”
Kindred said she likesknitting and crochetingbecause it givesher anop-portunity to “do some-thing for others.” She saidshe gives away every-thing she makes.
A majority of the pro-jects taken on by mem-bers of In the Loop are do-nated to places like theveterans hospital, St. Eliz-abeth Hospital, the Roadto Recovery program forcancer patients and theWomen’s Crisis Center.This year the group haseven made hats, mittens,and scarves to donate tostudents at the BooneCounty schools.

an whose vibrant faith inGod is a testimony to thepower and purpose ofhope.”
Ginny Kohl, whoworked with Meece whenshe taught at BooneCoun-ty High School, said themessage in the book “cantoucheveryperson’s life.”
“Sarah has so much tooffer, she’s a good inspira-tion to otherpeople,”Kohlsaid. “We all have ups anddowns in our lives, there’sno double about it. Weneed to learn what to doabout it and how to face itto live an inspirationallife.That’swhatSarahhasdone.”
Meece’s roller coasterof life experiences beganwhen shewas only13withthedeathofhermother. Inearly adulthood, she alsowent through a traumaticdivorce, leaving her as asingle parent. Later, whatshe thought was a beauti-ful romancewould turn tounspeakableviolence, she
said, ultimately involvingthe FBI, secret serviceand living in hiding forseveral months.
Just when Meecethought her troubleswereover, life as she knew it asadedicatededucator,wifeto loving husband, andmother, came to ascreeching halt. In 2008,she was diagnosed with avery aggressive form ofbreast cancer. She under-went chemotherapy and abilateral mastectomy.
“Whiledealingwith thechemo treatments and re-covering from surgery,there was plenty of timefor some deep soulsearching which allowedme to reprioritize mylife,” she said. “No doubt,Godwastellingmetoslowdown, step back, and takethe time to make mydreamofcreatingaminis-try come true.”
She retired from edu-cation and founded SarahMeece Inspires. She be-gan sharing her story andoffering hope to womenacross the nation. Meecehas traveledas farasCali-fornia and Florida for
speaking engagements.As Meece traveledaround thecountryspeak-ing, she said she was con-stantly being asked, “Doyou have a book?”
“It didn’t take long torealize that I was receiv-ing yet another nudge...‘Sarah,youneedtowritea book.’”
In October, “A Dose ofHope,” was released.
“I wanted to writesomething uplifting thatwould lead people to adeeper relationship withGod,” she said. “I can’timagine not having a rela-tionshipwithGod.Howdoweget throughthevalleysand back up to the moun-tain, if you don’t have thegrace of God? Life is notabout waiting for thestorm to pass but learningto dance in the rain. I’velearned to let God be mydancing partner. Now, Ithink I’m supposed tosharemyexperiencesandhelp others.”

The documentary film“Last Call at the Oasis”about the impending riskofwater shortage becamethe inspiration for a re-cent cooking class at theBoone County Coopera-tive Extension Service.
“Although there arewater issues in otherparts of the world, thisdocumentary brought adifferent perspective be-cause it’s talking aboutAmerica,” explainedDianeMason of the exten-sion service.
At least 36 states ex-pected local, regional orstatewide water short-ages this year, even undernon-drought conditions,according to the U.S. En-vironmental ProtectionAgency.
Mary Ann Wolfe ofBurlingtonrecommendedthe documentary for theclass. “I have conservedall my life,” she said. “Icollect water off the roof,and that’swhat Iuse inmyhouse.”
What does a documen-tary film have to do withcooking?
The program is called“Cooking theBooks.” Par-ticipants read a book orwatch a film before com-ing to the class to preparefoods inspired by whatthey’ve read or watched.The monthly programusually focuses on cul-tures on different coun-tries, but it’s also open tobring in other issues.
“I call it ‘buildingbridges of shared under-standing,’” Mason ex-plained. “It’s sort of ‘Let’scome together and let’scook and talk about is-sues.’”
“The best part of thisprogramis listeningto theparticipants’ insights,”Wolfe said, “becausemanyofthemhaveactual-ly lived in the countries.”
“Is it a book club or acooking club? It’s both,”Brenda Hilger of Flor-ence said laughing. “It’san international cookingexperience. Some peoplehave never traveled out-side of Boone County, andthis provides them a glob-al experience.”
“I don’t think you’reever too old to learn,” add-ed Mary Jo Moore of Ft.Wright. “I’ve eaten thingsthat I would’ve nevertouched before.”
“Today’s focus is water
issues, so I tried to comeup with a menu that in-volved foods that don’ttake quite as much waterto grow as other foods,”Mason said. The recipesincluded lentil soup, sal-ad, baked apple crisp, andfried green tomatoes.
The tomatoes camefrom the garden of CarolAnn Morrow of Union.She didn’t like fried green
tomatoes before comingto the class. “But now weknow how to preparethem,” she said with asmile.
After cooking, the par-ticipants enjoyed the foodthey’d prepared whilehavingadiscussiononwa-ter issues.
“Myhusbandputadripirrigation system in thegarden, with a timer onit,” Morrow said. “Whenyou water tomatoes at thebottom it saves water. It’smore efficient.”
There were 23 in theNov. 15 class. The nextclass will be Friday, Dec.6. It will discuss the book“The Locavore’s Dilem-ma: In Praise of the10,000-mile Diet” byPierre Desrochers andHiroko Shimizu.
Anyone interested canregister atwww.ca.uky.edu/boone.There is no fee.
“It’s a wonderful mixof people and the experi-ences of people who liketo read,”Hilger said. “Noteverybody likes to try allthis new food, but theycome anyway.”

FLORENCE — TinaMelville of Union walksby Colonel’s Creameryas she enters FriendlyMarket. She eyes thetempting ice cream fla-vors, but pistachio icecream is her favorite.
“His pistachio icecream is amazing,” shesaid. “I like the creamyconsistency and the fla-vor.”
Melville visits themarket, nearMount ZionRoad, once every fewweeks and occasionallymakes a stop at the Colo-nel’s.
Melville said shelooks forward to seeingColonel’s owner, DonLambert, 62, of northernPendleton County, andhis “friendly” staff whenshe visits.
“I wouldn’t encouragegluttony, but peopleshould enjoy the plea-sure of eating icecream,” Lambert said.“It’s the most fun foodthere is.”
Colonel’s Creameryopened inSeptemberandhas already gained na-tional recognition in icecream making innova-tion.
Lambert was selectedto compete on one of twoteams for the new IronScoop contest at the Na-tional Ice Cream Retail-ers Association annualconvention in St. Louis inNovember.
The contest was de-signed to test the icecream-making exper-tise, innovative skills,creativity, knowledgeand collaborative abili-ties of participants in icecream making. Eachteam of veteran and newice cream makers wasgiven 10 minutes to for-mulate an ice cream fla-vor from ingredientspreselected by thejudges. Of the16 ingredi-ents, rules required thata minimum of three hadto be used, plus a secretingredient – waffle conepieces –whichwasnotberevealed until all otherselections were decided.
Lambert’s teamdecid-ed on a peanut butterbase enhanced with twodifferent vanillas andstrawberry topping to beswirled in after freezingto make a peanut butterjam sandwich invention.
His expertise was intheuseofvanillasandas-sisted with recommen-dation on final blending.The ice cream wasnamed Lunch Ladies’Special and it was thewinner.
The flavor name andteammembers will havetheir names inscribed onthe Iron Scoop Trophywhich will be displayedat the NICRA headquar-ters and at future annualconventions.
“I was excited to havebeen selected to com-pete, and honored thatwe won,” Lambert said.“It was a privilege to be-come part of ice creamhistory by bringinghome such a prestigiousvictory to our new icecream shop. Innovationanflavors iswhat I like todo; it’s part ofmypassionfor ice creammaking.”
The Colonel’s Cream-ery features eight origi-nal flavors. Popular isthe Colonels’ Darn HotBrown that includeschocolate, cinnamon andcayenne. This flavor is ajoint effort of Lambertandtheownerandchefatfellow Friendly Marketbusiness Colonel De’s.There’s also SignatureVanilla with four differ-ent vanillas. Additionalselections are Kentuckypersimmons, pistachio,cotton candy, maple wal-nut, Unbridled Rum Rai-sin and Irish Cream.
TheColonel’s also fea-tures eight flavors fromChaney’s Dairy Barn inBowling Green. Cha-ney’s was identified asthe No. 1 ice cream inKentucky byUSAToday.
The goal, Lambertsaid, is to eventually car-ry 16 original flavors.He’s currently workingon innovations and isplanning an apple pie icecream.
“I’ve never made itbefore,” he said. “I havemade apple pies. I loveeating pies and I think Ihavean idea ofwhat theyshould taste like. The icecream will taste like ap-plepie thathas icecreamwith it. That sums upcharacteristically what’sdifferent about my icecream. With my icecream, the flavor is theice cream, it’s all one.”
Lambert said makingice cream is a familtytradition; he’s been mak-ing ice cream since hewas a child. He has hadthat entrepreneur spiritsincehewas10years old,when, as a Cub Scout, hewascharged tohelpraisemoney for a new flag forhis troop. EachScout hadto earn the money them-selves.
Tomeet thechallenge,Lambert started his ownbusiness, polishing shoesfrom door to door. Hewas so successful infundraising, he said hecontinued the business
for a year.When he was 14, Lam-
bert started painting ad-dresses on curbs and hadfellow students workingfor him. At 25, he ran abusiness doing residen-tial and commercial re-modeling.
After 25 years as ageneralmanager inradiobroadcasting, he wentback to school andearnedhisdegreeinmar-keting with a minor inbusiness management atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity. He graduated in2012.
A project in one of hismarketing classessparked an interested inmarketing ice cream.Af-ter graduation, he spentseven months searchingfor a job and received nointerviews. So he decid-ed to go into business forhimself.
He named the shopThe Colonel’s Creameryin honor of his being aKentucky Colonel.
“When I was thinkingof a name, I wantedsomething that rangwithKentucky,” he said. “Oneof the themeshere (at themarket) is pride in theBluegrass. The Ken-tucky Colonel is some-thing that’s statewideandunique toKentucky.”
Kentucky Colonelsare appointed colonelsby the governor for theirunwavering in devotionto faith, family, fellow-man and country.
So far, things havebeen fun, he said.
“What Ipersonallyen-joy about making icecream is seeing the de-light and pleasure thatpeople get when they tryit,” Lambert said. “I likeit when somebody tastesone of my ice cream fla-vors and their eyes getbig and they look ath theperson they’re with andsay ‘Wow!’ That is justsuper delightful forme.”

A6 • UNION RECORDER • JANUARY 2, 2014
Whenyou thinkabout all thatwomen have accomplished inthe last several decades, it’spretty astounding. Just consid-er their buying and earningpower: According to Nielsen(August 2013), women now con-trol approximately $12 trillionof theU.S. shareof$18 trillion inglobal consumer spending. Andapproximately 28 percent of to-day’s working married womenout-earn their husbands, ac-cording to Census Bureau datafrom USA Today.
But for as many strides aswomen have made, they stillonlyearn77cents for everydol-lar earned by a man, accordingto Census Bureau data. Womentend to save far less than menwhen planning for retirement –but have higher retirement ex-penses and longer life expec-tancies.
That’s why it’s increasinglyimportant for women to take
control of theirfinancial fu-tures by em-ploying smartinvestmentstrategies. Andbefore you gothinking, “In-vestment strat-egies are forthe wealthy,”think again.Thereareafew
simple steps every woman cantake now to positively impacther long-term financial outlook.
1.Talktoafinancialadviser:Afinancial adviser canhelpyousee the big picture and identifypractical ways to achieve yourvision.Theycanhelpdeterminewhether or not you’re savingenough and if you’re investingin the right places, according tocertain factors including, butnot limited to, yourgoals, objec-tives, and tolerance for risk. Fi-
nancial advisers aren’t exclu-sive tobillionaires, either.Manybanks have financial adviserswho are available to work withcustomers at all levels of in-come, age and networth. But besure you are comfortable withyour financial adviser; if he orshe seems disinterested, you’rein the wrong office.
2. Pay yourself first: Theonly way to accumulate wealthis to save more than you spend.Barring someunforeseenwind-fall, like a lottery winning or aninheritance, every woman willprobably need a retirement ac-count to rely on. So set aside aportion of your pre-tax pay-check to a 401(k) or IRA, espe-cially if your employer offers acontribution match. Maybe youcan only contribute 2 percent ofyour income – that’s fine! Trysetting a manageable scheduleunderwhichyouraiseyourcon-tributionbyhalfapercent.Start
small and absorb the reductionin your cash-on-hand steadily.In a fewyears, you’ll be amazedat howmuch you’ve saved.
3. Consider a spendingfreeze: Not sure your bank ac-count can weather a “pay your-self first” savings strategy?Consider putting yourself on –and sticking to – a three-monthspendingfreeze.Foronemonth,track every dime you spend.Then, cut out all of your extraexpenses: Eliminate the premi-um cable channels (or cable en-tirely), eat at home and resistthe buy-one-get-one sales. Thiswill reset your spending cyclesoyoucangainbetter control ofyour finances.
4. Avoid the temptation totinker: The biggest mistake awoman can make is changingyour 401(k) too frequently. Agood rule of thumb might be toreview your 401(k) when youchangeyourclocks.Ensure that
your funds are keeping pacewith the market, reallocate ifnecessary and then walk away.Remember that your 401(k) is along-term plan, so it shouldwithstand the ebb and flow ofthe market. You just have to bepatient and avoid the tempta-tion toconstantly fine-tuneyourinvestments. Now, if you’re notcomfortable with the fluctua-tions ofyourportfolio, itmaybetime to adjust your asset alloca-tion and the amount of riskyou’re taking on.
Taking control of your finan-cial future is empowering and abit daunting. Ask for guidance,contribute as much as you can,stayon topofyourspendingandstay diligent about your invest-ments.

I don’t know about you, butI’m ready for 2014.
For me, 2013 started off withawreck in January, inwhichmyhusband’s carwas totaled (yes, Iwas driving.) It was coupledwith a need for me to be absentfrom facilitating the health andwellnessmeetings I dearly love,(praise God, I’m back).
Add to that the emotionalroller coaster ride of our lives interms of changes in my hus-band’s career. In less than sixmonths, my husband studiedfor, passed and secured licensesin health, life, securities, andproperty and casualty insur-ance. Now that may not soundlike a big deal, but let’s just say,we’re thankful we lived throughit to tell about it.
May I add that I have a com-plete new respect for salesmenof any kind who support theirfamilies solelyonacommission-
basedsalary. Ifthis is you orsomeone youlove, may Godgreatly blessand providefor you in 2014.
To top it off,God called ourfamily out ofthe comfort,security andlove of ourwonderful
home church, East Dayton Bap-tist, a church my parents andseveral other family membersattend, the church I was bap-tized in and the only church Ihave ever known inmy 41yearsof life “to a land that he wouldshow us.”
Just typing about all thechange brings all the butterfliesback. Yet, as I reflect and beginto lookforwardIcansee,at least
partially, the reasons for theval-leys and the “unknowns.” Onething is sure, through it all, Godhad a plan. And it was, and is, allfor good. (Jeremiah 29:11) Andthough there were valleys, andsomeverydeepones that Icouldnomeans climb out of alone, Hewas always there. His promiseto never leave or forsake me astrue as it has ever been.
Yet another vital lesson I’velearned this year is that in orderto see and experience Histruths, Imust surrender fully tohis plan. Know this, God doesnotalwaysshare“steptwo”withyou before you complete “stepone.”
Here’s to findingGod in2014!

PopeFrancis recently issuedan apostolic exhortation whichmany have interpreted as criti-cizing capitalism. I learned at ayoungagenevertostartafightIcan’t win; therefore, I don’twant to start a fight with thePope. I’ll choose instead tosearch for common ground.
First things first, Pope Fran-cis is right. The faith-basedprinciple of human imperfec-tionaffectscapitalism.Commu-nist, socialist and totalitariansystems have been led by ty-rants. At least in capitalism,businesses usually succeed bydeliveringusefulgoodsandser-vices which can, at times,change lives for the better.
The Pope warns against an“impersonal economy lacking atruly human purpose.” Butmany successful capitalist un-
dertakings have a human pur-pose.HisHoliness lamented the
absence of“vigilance forthe commongood.” Butmanycapitalistventures servethe commongood.
Pope Fran-cis didn’t spe-cifically com-ment on capi-talisminAmer-ica. If he had
done so, I’d like to think hewould have said healthy Amer-ican capitalism helps familiesby providing jobs. One greatidea here can generate thou-sands of jobs. It happens all thetime.
Capitalism helps provide for
education and hope. Americansstrive for education and train-ing to attain valuable skills. Wedevelopandgrow.Onboth sidesof my family, capitalism andeducation lifted our parents outof poverty, which probably ex-plains why I get a bit defensive.
Capitalism helps provide forour government. Business own-ers pay taxes. People who workfor businesses pay taxes. Peo-plewhobuythings incommercepay taxes. Without capitalism,government would have fewerresources to provide for thepublic good.
Capitalism helps provide forour churches and charities. Weknow that churches and charityserve the noblest of purposes,butmoneytooperate themmustcome from somewhere. We’veseen coffers diminish in hard
times.Capitalism helps us care for
one another. In America, youngpeopleworkingpaySocialSecu-rity and Medicare taxes so thatolderAmericanscanhavean in-come and health care. Withoutcapitalism, these safeguardswould fail.
Capitalism can unify people.InAmerica,mostofusrespectabusiness owner on Main Streetwho saves money and risks ev-erythingonabusiness idea,pro-viding needed jobs, incomesand taxes. We see this everyday. We should choose to seebusiness owners as our neigh-bors, not our enemies.
Capitalism can be compati-ble with faith. I represent busi-ness owners who frequentlypray for the well being of theiremployees and customers,
striving to treat them right ev-ery day. Their brand of capital-ism involves life success whichstretches beyond self and be-yond an immediate dollar.
Capitalism, which simplymeans owning part or all of abusiness, can’t be all that bad.Maybe his Holiness meant tosay that economic and politicalsystems can only be asmoral asthe people who live and work inthem. I’mnot sureweneedapa-pal clarification, but given thebuzz on the subject, it wouldn’thurt to get one.

Detecting breast cancerearly – before symptoms be-
gin – can savelives. That’swhy it’s so im-portant forwomen to un-dergo regularbreast cancerscreenings aspart of a pre-ventive healthcare regimen.
The risk ofbreast cancerincreases withage, with 60 as
the average age for firstbreast cancer diagnosis in theUnitedStates.However,manyyoungerwomenarediagnosedwith breast cancer, and detec-tion steps should begin inearly adulthood.
Starting in their 20s, wom-en should learn about thebenefits and limits of breastself-examinations. Performedcorrectly, a self-exam is a sys-tematic, step-by-step methodfor detecting changes inbreast tissue. By performingself-exams regularly, womencan become familiar with howtheir breasts normally lookand feel so that changes be-come noticeable. Womenshould report any changes totheir physician.
Most experts recommendthat woman in their 20s and
30s also receive a clinicalbreast exam at least once ev-ery threeyears. Performedbya medical professional, theseare an opportunity to learnhow to conduct a self-exam.
Physicians generally rec-ommend that women beginhaving annual mammogramsat age 40. Women at higherrisk – for example, those witha family history of breast can-cer – should consider otherscreening tests. The Ameri-can Cancer Society recom-mends high-risk women haveannual mammograms and anMRI beginning at age 30.
High-risk women includethose who:
» have the BRCA1 orBRCA2 genetic mutation;
» have a parent, brother,sister or childwith the BRCA1or BRCA2 genetic mutation;
» have a lifetime risk ofbreast cancer of 20 to 25 per-cent, based on recognizedrisk-assessment tools;
» had radiation therapy ofthe chest between the ages of10 and 30;
» have Li-Fraumeni syn-drome, Cowden syndrome orBannayan-Riley-Ruvalcabasyndrome, or who have a par-ent, brother, sister or childwith one of these conditions.

Rather than exchanging gifts witheachother thisChristmas, theem-ployees ofMercedes-Benz of Fort
Mitchell decided to collect presents anddonate them to the Children’s Home ofNorthern Kentucky.
The ideaoriginatedwithDonPaparel-la, managing partner at the dealership.“Doyouknowhoweverybodybuys those$20 gifts for each other and they neveruse them?”hesaidheaskedhimself. “In-stead of that, why not have our staff sup-port this local charity?”
About a month before Christmas, Pa-parella and his wife visited the Chil-
dren’s Home, a treatment facility forabused and neglected boys who sufferfrom severe emotional, behavioral, andsocial issues.
“Wesawtheamount ofdedicationandthe work that these people were doingwith the children,” he explained.
He shared the storywith his co-work-ers. “So we set up a Christmas tree andall of our staff just started bringing ingifts,” he said. All 50 employees partici-pated.
“We’ve been blessed in our lives, andwe wanted to bless somebody else’s,”said parts Manager Angela Reynolds.“They’ve had a hard up-bringing. Hope-fully this can say to them, ‘I’m normal,just like anybody else.’”
“Who doesn’t love kids? And they
need everything that they need,” addedmarketing manager Dan Bell. “So we’rehappy to be a part of it.”
Five days before Christmas they fin-ished collecting gifts and took them totheChildren’sHomemaincampus inDe-vou Park.
“It will be a surprise for the childrenon Christmas morning,” said the home’schief executive Officer Rick Wurth.
“These gifts are for the boys who arein our residential treatment program,”he explained. “These are boys aged 7 to17whoare livingwithus24/7for,onaver-age, seven to eight months.”
There are approximately 42 boys liv-ing at the home.Most of them have beenremoved from their own homes by thestate due to abuse, neglect, or at-risk be-
havior.“Our goal is to provide a safe and
home-like environment for these boyswhile they’reundergoingtreatmentwithour clinical team,” Wurth continued.
In 2012 theChildren’sHomeofNorth-ernKentucky impacted400childrenandfamilies in 33 counties across the state.Anyone who would like to volunteer ordonate can visit www.chnk.org.
“Northern Kentucky needs to knowthat there are people who are willing tospend their time and energy lifting upothers,” Wurth said. “The human spiritsin our communities are different be-cause of it.”
“It’s not what you receive,” Paparellastressed. “It’s about giving.”

At the start of eachnew year with you, I liketo talk about food trends.Locally sourced con-tinues to be a big factor,along with homemadebiscuits instead of bunsand bread for sand-
wiches.Anothertrend ishealthierkids meals:yogurt,applesauceand bakedfries forfried.
Gluten-free (nosurprise)
items will be abundant inrestaurants and at thegrocery.
Chefs will use nuts ascoating for poultry andfish instead of flour.
Veggies galore, espe-cially cauliflower, will becooked simply or withflavorful herbs andspices as mains andsides.
Heirloom beans andpeanuts are “in” and areeasily grown. Peanutshide under the groundand kids love to harvestthese.
Rice is big this year.You’ll see a dizzyingvariety, from instant tobrown to the new darlingof the food world: Caroli-na Gold. This is thegrandfather of long-grainrice here and, dependingupon the way it’s cooked,can be made into fluffyrice or creamy risotto.
Tea is here to stay. Getout mom’s tea set andenjoy a relaxing andhealthy cup of tea. Teacontains polyphenols,
antioxidants that aregood for our heart, teeth,eyes and general goodhealth.
As far as wild edibles,I’m right on top of it. I’vemade pine needle tea(high in vitamins A andC) for years and now it’shit the big time. It has aminty, piney flavor. Lookfor ground pine needletea at health food stores.
Ditto for sumac lem-onade. We have sumactrees (not the poisonsumac!) growing alongour old country road andin late August they bear abeautiful, cone-shapedred fruit perfect for tart,healthy lemonade. Acaution here: Alwaysmake a positive identifi-
cation when picking wildedibles. There are manynon-edible look-a-likesout there.
Rita’s vegetarian redbeans and rice
My twist on Hoppin’John, the traditional NewYear’s dish. Rice andbeans together make aprotein-filled dish. Addsautéed shrimp or chick-en for a non-vegetarianmeal. Use your favoritebeans.
1 very generous cupchopped onion
2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced2 teaspoons cumin or totaste
2 bay leaves1 teaspoon chili powder
blend or to taste2 cups rice2 cans red beans, drained4 cups vegetable or chickenbroth, or bit more ifneeded
Salt and pepper to taste
To stir in after cook-ing: Favorite greens (Ifusing kale, add when youput rice in as it takeslonger to cook).
Garnish: Thinly slicedgreen onions, choppedtomatoes
Film pan with olive oil.Add onion, garlic, cumin,bay and chili powder.Sauté until onion looksalmost clear. Add rice,beans and broth. Bring toboil. Cover and lower to asimmer and cook until
rice is tender. Removebay leaves.
Health aspectsBeans: Lower choles-
terol, stabilize bloodsugar and reduce risk ofcancer and heart disease.
Onions and garlic:Great for your heart.
Tomatoes: Containsantioxidants and is goodfor the prostate.
Brown rice vs. white:Nutritionally superior,your body absorbs nutri-ents from brown ricemore slowly.
Bay: Helps blood sug-ar levels.
Easy Southern“light” biscuits
Try a Southern flourlike White Lily, which has
a lower gluten/proteincontent than Northernflours and produces alighter textured biscuit.
2 cups self-rising flour1⁄4 cup shortening2⁄3 to 3⁄4 cup buttermilkMelted butter
Preheat oven to 475degrees. Spray bakingsheet. Spoon flour intomeasuring cup and leveloff. Cut in shorteninguntil mixture resemblescoarse crumbs. With afork, blend in enoughmilk until dough leavessides of bowl. Knead acouple times on lightlyfloured surface and roll1⁄2 inch thick, cutting withbiscuit cutter or glass.Place on baking sheet,one inch apart. Bake 8-10minutes or until golden.Brush with melted but-ter.

Thieves have figuredout a new way to stealyour money and itdoesn’t involve sendingyou bad checks.
Once again they preyon people who can leastafford to lose money:those seeking a loan.
Krystal, I’ll just useher first name, wroteabout her mother’s needfor a loan while out ofwork following surgery.She turned to the In-ternet and found lots ofwebsites offering loans.After applying at one ofthem, she received a callsaying she was approvedfor the $2,000 she wasrequesting.
But first, she was told,she had to prove she
could cov-er her firstloan pay-ment. Shetold thelender shewouldn’tsend himmoneybeforegetting thefunds.
“He answered, ‘No, ofcourse not. We just needto verify you’ll be able tomake the payment,’”Krystal wrote.
Krystal says she wasinstructed to go a localdrug store, get a VanillaCard and load it with $150so they could verify thefunds.
“He then had mymother give him theinformation off the cardso he could verify thefunds. He told her every-thing was great and thathe needed to place her onhold so he could go aheadand finalize the trans-action. He came back onthe line and said that, dueto her credit, would shebe able to verify a secondmonth’s payment foranother $150 on the Vanil-la Card? She told him,‘No,’” Krystal wrote.
At this point Krystalsays she and her motherwere suspicious, beganresearching the card anddiscovered the so-calledlender was buying timeso he could pull the fundsoff the Vanilla ReloadCard. By the time theybegan trying to downloadthe funds from the cardthemselves, the “lender”
had already taken all themoney.
They called the localpolice who had themcontact the Vanilla Net-work to see if they couldlearn where the moneyfrom the card was re-leased. She was told ithad been placed into theaccount of a pre-paiddebit card so the moneycould now be taken andused anywhere without atrace.
“All said and done thisscam has me out of pock-et over $170,” Krystalwrote.
She’s not alone, I re-ceived a letter from aHarrison area man whoalso applied for an onlineloan and was sent to thestore to buy a Green DotMoney Pack. He loaded$375 on the card anddidn’t realize it was ascam until they got an-other $282 from him.
The Federal TradeCommission says legiti-mate lenders never“guarantee” or sayyou’re likely to get a loanor a credit card evenbefore you apply – espe-cially if you have badcredit, no credit or abankruptcy.
Bottom line, beware ofthese newmethods usedto steal your money.
