WALTON— It’s not a bird or aplane, but if you live here, itcould be a helicopter if a pro-posedzoningamendment isap-proved.

Walton has requested theBoone County Planning Com-mission consider a zoning textamendment that would allowemergency medical transporthelicopter bases/helipads as apermitteduse in aCommercial2 zone.

According to a staff reportby Director Of Zoning Ser-vicesKevinWall, the proposedtext would allow a helipadwhen located immediately ad-jacent to a public emergencycare ambulance or fire depart-mentstationandwouldbeusedexclusively to transport emer-gency care patients. The textalso allows for facilities like anoffice, hangar and parking.

The planning commissionhad a public hearing March 5on the proposed amendmentbut no comments were madeeither for or against the pro-posal.

The request stems from aproposal of the University ofCincinnati Medical Center’sAir Care andMobile Care.

According to informationprovided byMatt Gunderman,clinical manager for Air Care&MobileCare, thegoal is to es-tablish an air care emergency

helicopter base in Walton, ad-jacent to the Walton Fire Pro-tection District’s station,“pending zoning, land pur-chase, financing and opera-tional considerations.”

A hangar and office willhouse one operating aircraft,occasionally a second backupaircraft, room for an ambu-lance to transport the flightcrew by ambulance if weatheris unsafe for flight, two pilots,one aviation mechanic andfour to six clinical crew mem-bers.

Walton Mayor Mark Carna-han told the planning commis-sion it would be a “good fit” inWalton.

Gunderman told the plan-ning commission air care hasbeen providing service intothisareasince1984. In2012and2013, it received 126 requestsfor a helicopter response to ac-cident scenes in Boone Countyalone.

UC will not only continue tosupport Boone County, he said,

but the entire region.“So, what we’re really pro-

posing is to continue whatwe’re already doing by comingdown here and helping pick upsomeof themost sick andcriti-cally injured patients, butwe’re proposing to do that bet-ter than we’ve done it for thepast 30 years by having short-ened response times,”Gunder-man said.

“Really, it’s based on wherewe felt as though we would beclosest to the patients we’vebeen called to in the past andhaving a great relationshipwithWalton for so long, it real-lykindofpulled (plans) togeth-er very well,” Gundermansaid.

He told the planning com-mission response times couldbe reduced by six to eightmin-utes.

“And that is key,” he said af-ter the meeting. “What’s goingto effect the people of BooneCounty is shorter responsetimes. But by having an air-craft that is nowabout15milessouth of where it currently is,now we’ll also be able to ex-pand the reach of the patientswe can get to evenmore quick-ly.”

The planning commissioncould take action on the re-questat itsnextbusinessmeet-ing, 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 2,at the Boone County Admini-stration Building, 2950 Wash-ington St., Burlington.

A proposed zoning text amendment before the Boone County Fiscal Court would allow University ofCincinnati Medical Center’s Air Care and Mobile Care construct an emergency helicopter base adjacent tothe Walton Fire Protection District station if approved. STEPHANIE SALMONS/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

UNION — Funding for thenext phases of the long-awaitedMountZionRoadprojectwasn’tincluded in Gov. Steve Be-shear’s proposed two-year bud-get, but local legislators andcity officials are working tomake it a reality.

As previously reported, pro-posed plans are to reconstructthe existing two-lane road to athree-lane urban roadway fromthe beginning point on Hatha-wayRoad to theOldUnionRoadintersection.

From that point eastward tothe Tiburon Drive area, a five-lane urban roadway is pro-posed.

Mount Zion Road east of Ti-buron Drive will be recon-structed to a five-lane sectionby a separate project that willalso reconstruct the inter-change with Interstate 71/75.

According to the KentuckyTransportation Cabinet’s rec-ommended highway plan, $4.06million is necessary for utili-ties, currently slated for 2018,and $28.73million for construc-

tion, currently slated for 2019.State Sen. John Schickel

(R–Union) said it was “a hugedisappointment” the fundingwas not included in the gover-nor’s budget. He was hopefulconstruction funding would beallocated this year.

Two Boone County projects,Mount ZionRoad and continuedwork on Pleasant Valley Road,are both “critical,” he said. He’sworking with fellow membersof the Northern Kentucky Leg-islative Caucus to get fundingincluded in the budget.

“I’m cautiously optimisticwemaybe able to,” said Schick-el.

Union City CommissionerDeanna Kline said she ad-dressed the matter at a recentlegislative caucus.

“It’s a huge concern for us,”she said.

FLORENCE — Grocery cartsare rolling in and positions arebeing filled as the new KrogerMarketplaceonMallRoad is setto open this spring.

“I don’t want to throw a dateout this early in case itchanges,” said customer com-munications manager RachaelBetzler. “We hope to be open byearly spring.”

According to Betzler, theKroger, inFlorenceSquare,willbring 250 additional jobs. Thecurrent Florence store, about100yards south, has112 employ-ees who will move to the newteam.

“This storewill be very simi-lar to the newest marketplacewe opened last year in Inde-pendence,” she said. “It will in-clude apparel, which is in only

two othermarketplace stores inthis area. More plans will beshared oncewe get closer to theopening.”

Florence Mayor Diane Wha-len said the city is excited aboutthe opening.

“We’re looking very forwardto the grand opening,” she said.“This is something we’ve wait-ed a long time for.”

According to Whalen, thecity and Kroger recognized anumber of years ago that themarket was underserved withthe limited space at the currentstore. She said the investmentthatKrogerhasmade in thepro-ject “speaks volumes of Krog-er’s commitment to the city.”

Florence economic develop-ment director Josh Wice ex-pects thestoretohaveapositiveeconomic impact on the area.

“Clearly, by demolish-ing a decaying movietheater and constructinga modern 145,000-square-foot commercial building,there will be a positiveeconomic impact at Flor-ence Square, but also toother real estate in the vi-cinity,” Wice said. “Therewill be a cumulative ef-fect, since the currentKroger locationwill be re-purposed and upgradedfor a new tenant. Also,Kroger has already an-nounced plans that it willneed to add 250 employ-ees at the new store, andthe added payroll in theMall Road corridor will

have a cumulative effect,just like the property en-hancements will.”

alongOldUnionRoad andapotentiallynewbusinessdistrict at U.S. 42 andMount Zion Road.

The city is “reallybanking” on the projectmoving forward, saidKline.

“If we don’t get thatnext phase of funding, it’sgoing to hold up thedevel-opmentof theUnionTownCenter.”

Union Economic De-velopment Committeemember Steve Harper,chairman-elect for theNorthern KentuckyChamber of Commerce,has been to Frankfortwith the chamber severaltimes during the legisla-tive session.

“This is justgoing to tieour hands to some extentin attracting developersto the Union Town Cen-ter,” said Harper. “We’llcontinue to work on that,but that does hurt us inour efforts.”

Developers typicallywant the infrastructure tobe in place to supporttheirdevelopments,Klinesaid. The road needs to beupgraded “to support thetraffic for the develop-mentwehopetogethere.”

She said the town cen-ter will be developed “butI believe the only way it’sgoing to happen if isMount Zion Road getswidened,” she said.

Nancy Wood, spokes-

ter website, it’s consid-ered the downtown ofUnion and consists of anolder business district

woman for the KentuckyTransportation CabinetDistrict 6, said, “the Leg-islature can, and alwaysdoes, make amendmentsbefore enacting the planinto law.

“Unfortunately, thereare numerous transporta-tion infrastructure repairand improvement needsacross the state and notenough available fundingto support all projects.Many of the projects sub-mitted by each of thehighway districts don’tmake the recommendedhighway plan.”

The state is currentlyacquiring right ofway forthe Ky. 536 project, shesaid.

“In the recommended

highway plan, while fund-ing for the (construction)phase is programmed forfiscal year 2019, the fund-ing source designation in-dicates that funding is notavailable at this time,”said Wood. “When fund-ing is available, the pro-ject will continue.”

At the March 3 UnionCity Commission meet-ing, Kline encouragedpeople concerned aboutthe matter to call theirlegislators.

The recent introduc-tion of a program thatwould screen, train andarm volunteer teachersand staff members hassparked discussionamongBooneCountyedu-cators about whether ornot it is appropriate.

The Boone CountySchoolBoardheld awork-shop March 6 to discusssafety issues within the

schools and the program,School POST (ProtectingOur Students and Teach-ers), was a prominentpoint of discussion.

SchoolBoardChairwom-an KarenByrd saidshe doesnot supportthe pro-gram be-cause the

majority of the district’seducators oppose the pro-gram.She said it is unlike-ly the board will considerintroducing it to schools.

POST was introducedlast month by BooneCounty Constable andfirearm instructor JoeKalil.

The program is closelypatterned after the Na-tional Armed Pilots Pro-

gram and incorporateslessons learned by lawen-forcement during 10years of study since theshooting at a high schoolin Columbine, Colo. It isintended to be a modelprogram starting in Ken-tucky,Kalil said,butcouldbe adopted anywhere inthe U.S.

Volunteers would gothrough extensivescreenings and training.Those carrying concealedweapons would remainunidentified to students,but would know who elseis armed. Police dispatchwould know how manyparticipants are at eachschool. This would be inaddition to a school re-source officer (SRO) whois an armed deputy in theschools.

Byrd said she opposesthe program because shefeels “the training re-ceived is not anywheresufficient for what we’reasking people to do.”

She has concerns of in-creased liability and in-surance costs, as well.

“When we added(school resource offi-cers), liability costs in-creased. Howmuch morewill this go up havingarmed people who are not

as trainedas those inlaw en-force-ment,” shesaid.

BoardmemberEd Massey

voiced similar concerns.“Liability is not cov-

ered andwouldbe anight-mare for the district,” hesaid. “Teachers did notsign up to be armedguards. Training is notsufficient. Schools are notairplanes. Flying is elec-tive, school is compulsoryand in the (armed pilotsprogram), pilots carryguns to protect the air-craft and are barricadedbehind a locked cockpit.”

Tom Haddock, presi-dent of the Boone CountyEducation Association onleave as a sixth-graderteacher at Conner Middleschool, said when he con-siders the POSTprogram,he looks back on his yearsof training.

“Weapons were not apart of that formal train-ing, neitherwere psychol-ogy classes to train me onhow to take aim at a childwho’s family I know andwho I’ve instructed,” hesaid. “The things I was

taught were how to get achild to ask questions, towonder and to be cre-ative.”

Haddock said a major-ity of his colleagues areopposed to POST as well.

School Board memberSteve Templeton, who hastwo granddaughters at-tending school in the dis-trict and a grandson whowill be starting schoolnext year, said he has a“real personal connectionwith safety of our schoolchildren.”

“I don’t think armingteachers is the correctpath,” he said. “Youwouldbe asking (teachers andstaff) to take the law intheir own hands. They areeducators not law en-forcement officers.WhenI first heard about thePOST program I had sev-eral ‘what-ifs’ come tomind. As this month haspast and as I have re-ceived numerous emailsfrom parents on both sideof the issue ... I have evenmore ‘what-ifs’ I am con-cernedwith. Is there a100percent solution? No, Iwish there were.”

Board member BonnieRickert said she and themajority of those she’sspoken to are opposed to

POST.“Wheth-

er it’sPOST orany otherprogram,arming ourteachers isnot good

for the students,” shesaid. “Our teachers havenot been trained for thatand 40 hours of training isnot going to preparethem.”

School Board memberMaria Brown agreed.Sheattended Kalil’s intro-duction presentation toPOST last month and hasdone “some extensive re-search on similar pro-grams.”

“I believe the greaterissue at hand is whetheranyone other than atrained police profession-al should be allowed tocarryagun inour schools,regardless of which par-ticular program is beingexamined,” she said. “Thepolice are trained exten-sively to respond in highstress, life-threateningsituations. I believe theamount of training neces-sary to adequately pre-pare a teacher for suchsituations is simply notfeasible.”

Dixie scored the firstfive points of the extrasession, but Conner ral-liedbackbeforemissinga3-pointer with eight sec-onds left that would havetied the game. Hemmer-ich led Conner with 21points. Lamblez had 11and NickWatts 10.

“The guys left it on theline They never quit,”Hicks said. “Theyworkedtheir tail off and they exe-

cuted what we wantedthem to execute. They be-lieved in themselves, theybelieved in eachother andwhat we were doing.”

Conner led 16-9 afterone period. The secondquarter featured the Cou-gars being on the samefloor as historywhenDix-ie senior Brandon Hattonscored his 3,000th careerpoint with 4:50 to go. Hat-ton, already the top boysscorer in Ninth Regionhistory, became the 31stplayer in Kentucky toreach that milestone.

“We were passing theball very well, knockingdown shots, and we kept

them off the offensiveglass, which is the mainthing we wanted to do,”Hicks said. “The secondhalf, they got more offen-sive opportunities andthat was the big key.”

Although itwasa toughend, Hicks remainedproud of his guys.

“Iwish itweren’tover,”Hicks said. “We couldhave played another 15 or20 minutes and everyonewould have enjoyed it. Itwas fun to be a part of andit was heartbreaking toend that way.”

Thefreight train that isthe 2013-2014 ThomasMore Saints women’s bas-ketball teamkeepsonroll-ing.

After winning theireighth straight Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence title to close out theregular season 28-0, theSaints ascended to the topspot in the d3hoops.compoll. Entering the tourna-ment as the No. 1 team inthe country is no guaran-tee of championship suc-cess, but the Saints areheaded in the right direc-tion.

“The ability to play an-other weekend togetherand be in the Sweet 16 forthe fifth time in programhistory is a great accom-plishment,” said headcoach Jeff Hans. “Wehave been talking aboutthe month of March for along time and being readyto play our best basket-ball.”

The Saints thrivedfrom their raucous homecrowds inhosting the firsttwo rounds of the NCAADivision III tournament.Thomas More defeatedSalem 95-58 in the open-ing round, then set a tour-nament record by scoring120 points in a 34-pointvictory over John Carrollin round two.

“Our crowds were

amazing in the first tworounds and it definitelyhelped our performance,”said Hans. “We wouldmake a play and the ener-gy that came from thecrowdwould feed into an-other play on the defen-sive end. The runs we goon are a direct correlationof our fans.”

It was a weekend ofmilestones for the Saints.In addition to setting theteam scoring record, ju-nior forward Jenny Bur-goyne set a career highwith 35 points in the open-ing roundwin over Salem.FiveSaints, ledbySydneyMoss’s37points, scored indouble figures in the sec-ond game. The Saints’ re-ward for dominating thefirst tworounds is a trip toWalla Walla, Wash., for

the program’s first SweetSixteen appearance since2011. Whitman College,the nation’s previous top-ranked team beforeThomas More took overthe top spot in the finalpoll of the regular season,is hosting this sectionalround of the tournament.The Saints open the sec-tional against Texas-TyleronMarch 14.

“We will definitelymiss the home atmos-phere, but all of our roadtravels through PAC playshould help us be pre-pared for the trip toWhit-man,” Hans said. “Thistime of year, we have toworry about executingand making plays.”

With Burgoyne andMoss finishing down lowor getting to the free

throw line, the Saints of-fense appears unstoppa-ble.Moss iscapableofset-ting a Division III recordwith 63 points in a game,but is content with play-ing a supporting role withher rebounding and de-fense. There is no alphadog in the Thomas Moreoffense, which makesthemnearly impossible todefend.

“Our guards are veryunselfish and we don’tcare who scores, just aslong as Thomas More hasmore points at the end ofthe game,” Hans said.“Getting to the free throwline is the easiest way toscore. We have good postplayers that can score in-side or draw a foul, andour guards will attack tofinish, pass or get to thefree throw line.”

Outsiders see the lop-sided margins of victoryand think that ThomasMore has a special team.Those who know the teamand its players know thatit is their chemistry thatmakes the Saints a specialgroup. There is just some-thing special about thisteam that goes beyond thebox score. They enjoy oneanother’s company on andoff the court. Thatmay bethe edge that gets themthrough the sectional andinto the final four.

“This team is very dif-ferent. They love to playthis game and are excitedto be playing together,”said Hans. “I think thatshows in our ability toshare the basketball theway we do.”

MARCH 13, 2014 • UNION RECORDER • A9

An answer to Ted Smith:Get your facts first, then youcan distort ‘em as much as youplease.

This is the best response toa letter in the Recorder onFeb. 27. Tea party candidatesdon’t undermine Republicancandidates: They win. So faras the parties go, the tea partyis the life of the party. Thestatistics show that the In-dependent party is now thelargest registered party, atover 40 percent. The Repub-lican party is not one of twomajor parties. It is one of twominority parties, Democratand Republican.

You have to have micro-scopic vision to tell any differ-ence between these two mi-nority parties; something

pointed out byWill Rogers atthe time ofHerbert Hoo-ver. Most In-dependentvoterschanged overfrom beingRepublican.That was be-cause the par-ty was so anx-ious to “win”

that it courted the fringe atthe expense of its core, whichhas a very different vision forAmerica. That vision has notyet been fully articulated, butI can tell you that it is verydifferent from the cronyismso dear to the establishment.Ronald Reagan warned us

about big government ridingour backs.

The Republicans controlthe house, but you wouldn’tknow it. In the Senate they donot even offer effective oppo-sition. The only exceptionseems to be Sen. Rand Paul,who is almost a one-man show.The tea party is here, and it’snot going to go away. The teaparty has managed to connectwith Americans at all levels.Everyone has a right to beheard, and to make their con-cerns known.

I suggest we send somenew people to Washington. Mr.Smith is mistaken to think it is“wacko” to send a bad maninstead of a good one becausehe won’t be minority leaderthe first day. Nothing can be

done to magically solve theproblems Washington hascreated; we need less govern-ment, not more. Washingtonhas been doing too much.What it can do is continue tocreate problems for more andmore people, wreck the econo-my, and sell it to the Chinesefor inflating dollars.

The business of MIT isparticularly laughable. Fraudalert: McConnell claims thatMr. Bevin said he graduatedfrom MIT on his resume.(That was Massie.) Don’t peo-ple have more importantthings to receive notices aboutthan that? Well, it didn’t hap-pen, folks. The alleged resumehas never surfaced. Mr. Bevindoes not send resumes; heaccepts them. He owns 10

companies. Call McConnell’soffice and ask to see a copy ofthe resume; chances arethey’ll get the guys who foundObama’s birth certificate tofake one for you.

Matt Bevin is not a careerpolitician. He talks from theheart. He answers questionsfrom the floor, and doesn’tskirt the difficult ones. Hedoesn’t have any magic, justpractical suggestions aboutknotty problems. You havesome facts; you’re on yourown now if you want to distortthem.

James Duvall is a member of theNorthern Kentucky Boone CountyTeaparty, and is an elected conserva-tion supervisor for Boone County. Helives in Big Bone.

During World War II, the businesscommunity dropped their business mod-els and immediately began wartimeproduction. Frigidaire no longer maderefrigerators, but instead made machineguns and propellers for fighter jets.

William Knudsen left General Motorsto lead the United States war machine.He left a salary of $300,000 to work forfree. Why? Knudsen replied, “This coun-try has been good to me, and I want topay it back.”

American businesses willingly sacri-ficed a great deal to help America winthe war. This is not surprising sincebusinesses are givers, not takers.

Today, politicians and business lead-ers claim there is no money to build vitalinfrastructure projects like the BrentSpence Bridge. We’re told taxpayersmust dig deeper into their pockets andspend thousands of dollars per year topay tolls.

I have another solution. What if thebiggest financial takers in America wereasked to give back to help finance amajor infrastructure project like theBrent Spence Bridge? Would they re-spond like businesses did during WWIIor are they too greedy and self-centeredto give back?

Do you know howmuch money issitting in universities’ endowmentfunds?

Merriam-Webster defines endow-ments as, “A large amount of money thathas been given to a school, hospital, etc.,and that is used to pay for its creationand continuing support.”

The GAO reports that on average 8.8percent of endowment assets are used tofund ongoing operations. Does that meanthese funds are dwindling? Hardly!

The National Association of College &University Business Officers surveyed835 colleges and universities and found2013 endowment assets total $448.6 bil-

lion. That’s an in-crease of 10 percentover 2012 assets of$406.1 billion.Eighty-two uni-versities have en-dowment fundsexceeding a billiondollars.

Harvard’s en-dowment fund in-creased from $30.7billion in 2012 to$32.7 billion in 2013.

That’s an increase of a B. S. Bridge.The top five endowment funds are:

Harvard $32.7 billion, Yale $20.7 billion,Texas $18.3 billion, Stanford $17 billionand Princeton $17 billion.

If these takers would make a one-timedonation of $3 billion to the B.S. BridgeProject their endowment funds woulddrop by less than 1 percent. Each schoolwould pay their proportionate fair share.

I know they’ll scream that they needthat money to survive as if bridge-cross-ers don’t need their money to survive aswell. Shut up and do it for America.

I don’t remember hearing universityboards or presidents screaming againstraising the top federal income tax rateby 11 percent or complaining about the47 percent tax increase on workingAmericans in the fiscal cliff deal.

All we need is for the university lead-ers to collectively agree to support thegreater good. Isn’t it funny howMarx-ism sounds so much sweeter whenyou’re a taker instead of a giver?

You see there are countless ways tofund the B.S. Project. It just takes lead-ers. Yes, I know. That’s been our prob-lem all along.

With sponsorship from Dr.Kendall Hansen and Interven-tion Pain Specialists of Crest-view Hills, Turfway Park hasadded the Hansen StarterHandicap to its lineup onHorseshoe Casino CincinnatiSpiral Stakes day, Saturday,March 22.

The 6 1⁄2-furlong HansenStarter Handicap carries a$50,000 purse and iswritten forhorses four years old and upthat started for a claiming riceof $50,000 or less in theyear be-fore this year’s Spiral Stakes.

Nominationsclose March13.

The race isnamed forHansen’seponymoushomebred2011 Breed-ers’ Cup Juve-

nile winner and Eclipse Awardchampion2-year-old –Hansen–now standing in South Korea.The nearly white colt won hisdebut by more than 13 lengthsat Turfway and then romped

again in theBluegrassCatKen-tucky Cup Juvenile by nearly14 lengths, also at Turfway. Inhis next start Hansen set thepace and then gamely held offeventual Belmont Stakes win-ner Union Rags to win theBreeders’ Cup Juvenile by ahead, clinching the champion-ship.

“One of the best traditions inhorse racing is to name a raceafter a special horse. Hansen’suniquely pure white color, hisattractive face, and his domi-nant running style attracted

fans around the world,” saidHansen. “Naming a race atTurfway after Hansen is a per-fect fit, since he won his firsttwo races there in such jaw-dropping fashion. Turfway hasalso been my home track formyracingoperationof30yearsand it’s where I had my bestsuccess when I handicappedfor a living in 1980 and ’81. It’sanhonor tobeable toaddsucharace to the great Spiral day tra-dition. It’s also fun for me thisyear because Hansen’s half-brother Gunderson has won

both his races at Turfway andlikely will run in the race.”

“Dr. Hansen’s sponsorshipaffords us the opportunity notonly to add another stake to oursignaturedayof racingbut alsoto attract high level claiminghorses, which recently havebeen underrepresented in ourprogram,” said Director ofRacing Tyler Picklesimer. “Ad-ditionally, it’s refreshing to seea local businessman and Thor-oughbred owner take an activerole to help strengthen our rac-ing product.”

“Lexington hadfallen, Frank-fort had fallen,

and the rumor was thatthey were marching onto Newport, Covington,and Cincinnati,” the mansaid.

On the last Thursdaynight in February, everyseat in the meeting roomat the Erlanger branchof the Kenton CountyPublic Library was tak-en, every eye fixed onthe man describingNorthern Kentucky’srole in the Civil War.

It was James A. Ram-age, a history professorat Northern KentuckyUniversity.

The Civil War mu-seum in Fort Wright isnamed after Ramage. In2004, he led the commit-tee to save BatteryHooper, one of the keygun emplacements pro-tecting Cincinnati dur-ing the conflict.

“There are five bat-teries extant today,” hesaid, pointing to a mapon the screen. “They areBattery Combs and Bat-tery Bates in DevouPark, and Battery Hoop-er, which is where wehave our museum, Bat-tery Holt in Wilder, andBattery Shaler in Ever-green Cemetery.”

Battery Hooper rep-resents a time, in Sep-tember of 1862, when thecommunity came togeth-er in a crisis and workedto erect an eight-miledefensive line fromLudlow to Fort Thomas.

“Gen. Lew Wallacewas assigned to com-mand the defense ofNorthern Kentucky andCincinnati,” Ramagesaid. Many years after

the war, Wallace wouldwrite the best-sellingnovel “Ben-Hur.”

“Under the watch-word ‘Citizens for labor,soldiers for battle,’ Wal-lace required everyadult male to fight orwork,” Ramage said.

To help with this ef-fort, Wallace formed theBlack Brigade, markingone of the first timesthat the Union Army useAfrican Americans.

But in order to movemen and supplies intoNorthern Kentucky, abridge was needed asthe suspension bridgewas not yet finished.

So Wallace met withthree local contractorsand asked them to builda pontoon bridge, a tem-porary structure sup-ported by boats. Thecontractors had nevereven seen one but prom-ised that they could do itin 48 hours. “We’ll getcoal barges off the Lick-ing River” they said.

They finished thebridge over the OhioRiver in 30 hours, thenbuilt another one overthe Licking. All the prep-arations were completedin just five days.

Soon Confederatesoldiers marched intoNorthern Kentucky.When they reached Flor-ence, crowds shouted“Hooray for Jeff Davis!”referring to the Confed-erate president. At thetime Boone County waspro-Confederate, whileCampbell and Kentoncounties were pro-Union.

Wallace had pulledtogether a force of22,000 Union troops and50,000 militia. The 8,000

Confederate soldierswho marched into FortMitchell decided thatWallace’s men, and thedefenses they had con-structed, were too muchfor them. There was noattack, and after twotense days they with-drew.

“Gen. Wallace’s can-non at Fort Mitchell, andthe batteries, 15 of them,never fired a shot. Butnow they fired a cele-bration,” Ramage ex-plained.

To end his talk, he

shared this from Wal-lace’s victory proclama-tion:

“In coming timestrangers viewing theworks on the hills ofNewport and Covingtonwill ask, ‘Who built theseentrenchments?’ Youcan answer ‘We builtthem.’ If they ask, ‘Whoguarded them?’ You canreply ‘We helped in thou-sands.’ If they inquirethe result, your answerwill be ‘The enemy cameand looked at them, andstole away in the night.’”

Boy, did I learnmy les-son this week. Rememberlast column when I spokeabout sled riding for the“last” time this year?Well, we all know what’shappened since then:More snow and more op-portunities to sled ride.But I do think we’re turn-

ing the cor-ner towardspring be-cause St.Patrick’sDay iscom-ing andthat meansgetting thegardenready forplantingpotatoes

(hopefully!). But regard-less of Mother Nature co-operating or not, we’ll cel-ebrate with some cornedbeef and cabbage and acup of this warming pota-to soup.

Creamy or chunkypotato soup

You can eliminate thebacon and use vegetablebroth if you like. In thatcase, add a bit of butter tothepanto take theplaceofthe bacon fat. Also, if youdon’t likegarlic, just leaveit out.

1⁄2 pound bacon, cutup, sautéed and setaside, leaving a coupletablespoons fat in pan.

2 cups onion,chopped

Anywhere from1 to 3teaspoonsminced garlic

3-4poundsbakingpo-tatoes, chunked up,peeled or not

6-8 cups chicken orvegetable broth or asneeded

Cream or half-and-half (optional)

Salt and pepper totaste

Garnish: fresh pars-ley, sour cream, bacon,shredded cheese (op-tional)

Cook onion in bacon fatuntil golden. Add garlicand cook a minute. Addpotatoes and 6 cups brothandbringtoaboil.Reduceheat and simmer until po-tatoes are tender. Pureesoup as desired, eitherleaving it chunky orcreamy. Add more brothif needed. Stir in as muchcream as you like.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Instant cream soupthickener: Add potatoflakes if necessary afteryou puree soup, but becareful, you won’t needmuch if at all, and theythicken it pretty quickly.

Guinness floatI amnot a beer drinker,

but my oh my, I like this.Maybe it’s the coffee icecream or maybe it’s thefrosted mug or maybe,justmaybe, it’s thebeer it-self!

First you have to frostthemug.Runwater insideand out, pour out excessand immediately put infreezer to frost up. Thenput scoops of ice creaminto the mug – and reallyyour favorite is just finehere. Vanilla totallyworks as well as coffee.Put 2-3 scoops in and pourthe Guinness over. I thinkit’s the bitterness of thebeer alongwith the sweet-ness of the ice cream thatgets me. And if you don’t

like Guinness, I supposeyou could use a stout orwhatever full-flavoredbeer you have on hand.Some folks like to swirl insome chocolate syrup onthe ice cream before theypour in the beer.

Famous restauranthot artichoke andspinach dip clone

Go to taste on this, add-ing more, or less of theseasonings.Ashakeofredpepper flakes in here

Mobile screeningsQuestion: When

should I cut back hydran-geasandfertilizemy lawnand landscape? Now, orwait until it warms upmore?

Answer: That dependson what type of hydran-

gea youhave.

The An-nabelle hy-drangea,Hills ofSnow hy-drangea,and Peegeehydrangeabloom onlyon newwood, andthus should

be pruned back while stilldormant, before springgrowth begins, and evenbefore buds swell. Theycan be pruned back se-verely if needed, and thenew stems will still pro-duce flowers. Therefore,you can prune them now,or within the next coupleof weeks.

Be careful when prun-ing other types of hydran-gea that bloom on oldwood, such as Oakleaf hy-drangea (little pruningneeded) or any of the pinkorblueflowering“Bigleafhydrangea” cultivars (hy-drangea macrophylla).The latter should be

pruned, as needed, imme-diately after the flowersfade in early summer.Other landscape shrubsthat bloom in the spring,such as forsythias, lilacs,fothergilla, and vibur-nums, should be prunedwithin two weeks afterflowers fade. Don’t prunethemnow, or you’ll be cut-ting off the flower buds,thereby reducing or pre-venting bloom this year.

With regard to fertiliz-ing, go ahead and do yourtrees and shrubs inMarch,while theyarestilldormant. Don’t fertilizelawnsnow,except fornewlawns planted last fall orthis spring, to help themget established. Most orall lawn fertilizer shouldbe applied to establishedlawns in the fall, fromSeptember through De-cember. Do not fertilizeestablished lawns inMarch or April, unlessyou have to when you ap-ply your crabgrass pre-venter products. For old-er lawns that are still yel-low-green by mid-May,about one-half pound ofactual nitrogen (or 5pounds of a10-10-10 fertil-izer) should be appliedper 1,000 square feet oflawn to restore a darkgreen color. But in gener-al, spring and summer ni-

trogen tends to feed theweeds and crabgrassmore than the lawn, and itmayalso causemore lawndiseases, insects, andthatch buildup.

Mid-March to mid-April is normally a goodtime to apply crabgrass

pre-emergence herbicideto lawns to prevent thegermination of crabgrassseeds. Most of the crab-grass in this area usuallysprouts in mid-to-lateApril, so the “NorthernKentucky deadline” forcrabgrass control is April15. In order to be effec-tive, the chemicalmust beput down before the crab-grass seeds sprout. A sec-ond treatment, six weeksafter the first one, will ex-tend control for the entiresummer season. Careful-ly read label precautionsbefore buying the herbi-cide, since many of themwill damage or kill newly-seeded lawns, as willmany herbicides contain-ing 2,4-D for broadleafweed control. In newlyseeded lawns, use siduron(Tupersan). This productcan even be applied atseeding time, and it alsocontrols foxtail, anothercommon weedy lawngrass.
