BURLINGTON — Quilts andbarnsare twoof themost recog-nizable and celebrated symbolsof rural America, at least as faras Joyce Foley is concerned.

“In my mind, the (BooneCounty)BarnQuiltTrail ties thetwo things together,” the Flor-ence resident said.

Foley will speak about thequilt trail at theupcomingmeet-ingof theBooneCountyHistori-cal Society, 7 p.m. Thursday,March 20, at the Boone CountyLibrary’s Main branch, 1786Burlington Pike, Burlington.

Foley, who started the BooneCounty Barn Quilt Trail, a com-munity service project of theFlorence Woman’s Club, is an

avid quilter herself. She got theidea for the trail after visitingAdams County, Ohio, where thebarn quilt trail movement be-gan.

“It got me really excited,”Foley said, thinking somethinglike that could be done in BooneCounty. She was busy at thetime, but in 2006, after finishinga two-year term as president ofthe FlorenceWoman’s Club, Fo-ley realized it was her opportu-nity.

The club approved the pro-ject and gave her $500 to getstarted.

She tasked herself with anumber of goals: celebratingquilting history, delightingtravelers, providing public art,involving younger generationsand aiding the county’s agritou-

rism.“I just want to make the

countyprettier,” saidFoley.Thetrail is also something that’sfree and open daily.

According toFoley, there aremore than 20 million quilters inthe United States.

“If they know there’s a barnquilt trail in Boone County,they’regoing toget off thehigh-way to go see it,” she said.

chamber several timesduring the legislative ses-sion.

“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 “but

I believe the only way it’sgoing to happen if isMount Zion Road getswidened,” she said.

Nancy Wood, spokes-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 for

the Ky. 536 project, shesaid.

“In the recommendedhighway 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.

BudgetContinued from Page A1

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

The Boone CountySchool Board held awork-shop March 6 to discusssafety issues within theschools and the program,

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

School Board Chair-woman Karen Byrd saidshe does not support theprogram because the ma-jority of the district’s edu-cators oppose the pro-gram. She said it is unlike-ly the board will considerintroducing it to schools.

POST was introducedlast month by BooneCounty Constable andfirearminstructorJoeKa-

lil.The program is closely

patterned after the Na-tional Armed Pilots Pro-gram and incorporateslessons learned by law en-forcementduring10yearsofstudysincetheshootingat a high school in Colum-bine,Colo. It is intended tobe amodel program start-ing in Kentucky, Kalilsaid, but could be adoptedanywhere in the U.S.

Volunteers would gothrough extensive screen-ings and training. Thosecarrying concealed weap-ons would remain uniden-tified to students, butwould know who else isarmed. 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. How much morewill this go up havingarmed people who are notas trained as those in lawenforcement,” she said.

Board member Ed

Massey voiced similarconcerns.

“Liability is not cov-ered andwould be a night-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 POST program,he looks back on his yearsof training.

“Weapons were not apart of that formal train-ing, neither were 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 wastaught were how to get achild to ask questions, towonder and to be cre-ative.”

Haddock said an edu-cator’s jobis toensurethatstudents are career andcollege ready, not to carryfirearms. He said addingPOST would “ask toomuch” of teachers whoare already overworked.

“To me, it’s also illogi-cal to assume that putting

more guns,where nogunsshould beallowed atall, willsolve theproblem,”he said.

Had-dock said amajority of hiscolleagues are opposed toPOST as well.

Cooper High SchoolPrincipal Michael Wilsonsaid that is certainly thecase at his high school.

“The one thing all of ushave incommon is the (de-sire for the) safety and se-curity of our students,” hesaid. “CooperHigh Schoolteachers overwhelmingoppose the idea of armingteachers with guns. Weneed to continue to workdiligently with all stake-holders on preventativemeasuresof the social andemotional well-being andmental health availabil-ity.”

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 emails

from 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 toPOST.

“Whether it’s POST orany other program, arm-ing our teachers is notgoodfor thestudents,”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-alshouldbeallowedtocar-ry a gun in our schools, re-gardless ofwhich particu-lar program is being ex-amined,” she said. “Thepolice are trained exten-sively to respond in highstress, life-threateningsituations. I believe theamount of training neces-sary to adequately pre-pareateacherforsuchsit-uations issimplynot feasi-ble. The POST program inparticular has never beenimplemented and thereare just too many un-knowns to feel that it is aresponsible and safechoice for our schools atthis time.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014

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 learn mylesson this week. Re-member last columnwhen I spoke about sledriding for the “last” timethis year? Well, we allknow what’s happenedsince then: More snow

and moreopportuni-ties to sledride. But Ido thinkwe’re turn-ing thecornertowardspringbecause St.Patrick’sDay is

coming and that meansgetting the garden readyfor planting potatoes(hopefully!). But regard-less of Mother Naturecooperating or not, we’llcelebrate with somecorned beef and cabbageand a cup of this warm-ing potato soup.

Creamy or chunkypotato soup

You can eliminate thebacon and use vegetablebroth if you like. In thatcase, add a bit of butterto the pan to take theplace of the bacon fat.Also, if you don’t likegarlic, just leave it out.

1⁄2 pound bacon, cut up,sautéed and set aside,leaving a couple table-spoons fat in pan.

2 cups onion, choppedAnywhere from1 to 3

teaspoons minced garlic3-4 pounds baking

potatoes, chunked up,peeled or not

6-8 cups chicken orvegetable broth or asneeded

Cream or half-and-

half (optional)Salt and pepper to

tasteGarnish: fresh pars-

ley, sour cream, bacon,shredded cheese (option-al)

Cook onion in baconfat until golden. Addgarlic and cook a minute.Add potatoes and 6 cupsbroth and bring to a boil.Reduce heat and simmeruntil potatoes are tender.Puree soup as desired,either leaving it chunkyor creamy. Add morebroth if needed. Stir in asmuch cream 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 am not a beer drink-

er, but my oh my, I likethis. Maybe it’s the cof-fee ice cream or maybeit’s the frosted mug ormaybe, just maybe, it’sthe beer itself!

First you have to frostthe mug. Run water in-side and out, pour outexcess and immediatelyput in freezer to frost up.Then put scoops of icecream into the mug – andreally your favorite isjust fine here. Vanillatotally works as well ascoffee. Put 2-3 scoops inand pour the Guinnessover. I think it’s the bit-terness of the beer alongwith the sweetness of theice cream that gets me.And if you don’t likeGuinness, I suppose you

could use a stout or what-ever full-flavored beeryou have on hand. Somefolks like to swirl in somechocolate syrup on theice cream before theypour in the beer.

Famous restauranthot artichoke andspinach dip clone

Go to taste on this,adding more, or less ofthe seasonings. A shakeof red pepper flakes inhere would give it a bit of

a kick. Thanks to thereader who wanted toremain anonymous butwho said “this is betterthan any that I’ve had atrestaurants.”

1 8 oz. package creamcheese, softened

1⁄4 cup each: mayon-naise and Parmesancheese

1 large clove garlic,minced or more to taste

3⁄4 teaspoon dry basil114 oz. can artichoke

hearts packed in brine,drained and coarsely

chopped10 oz. frozen chopped

spinach, thawed, verywell drained

11⁄2 to 2 cups mozzarel-la cheese, shredded

Parmesan for garnish(optional)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Blend creamcheese, mayo, Parmesan,garlic and basil. Addartichokes and spinach.Bake in sprayed casse-role for 15-20 minutes.Top with mozzarella andcook about 20 minutes or

until cheese is golden andbubbly. Serve with crack-ers or crudités. If de-sired, sprinkle with moreParmesan.

doing, but resources arecoming out of every-where for this to come to-gether. People want to beinvolved, and that’s awe-some to see.”

The race will start at8:30 a.m., Saturday, June7, at Simon Kenton HighSchool, 11132 MadisonPike. Race day registra-tion will begin at 7 a.m.

More information isavailable online atNKYHatesHeroin.com,and online registration isat www.sprunning.com.

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

Answer: That dependson what type of hydran-gea you have.

The Annabelle hydran-

gea,Hills ofSnowhydran-gea, and Peegee hydran-gea bloom only on newwood, and thus should bepruned back while stilldormant, before springgrowth begins, and evenbefore buds swell. Theycan be pruned back se-verely if needed, and the

new 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 pruning

needed) orany of thepink orblue flow-ering “Bi-gleaf hy-drangea”cultivars(hydran-gea macro-phylla).The lattershould 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 prune them now,or you’ll be cutting off theflower buds, thereby re-ducing or preventingbloom this year.

With regard to fertiliz-ing, go ahead and do yourtrees and shrubs inMarch,while theyarestilldormant.

Don’t fertilize lawnsnow,except fornewlawnsplanted last fall or thisspring, to help them getestablished. Most or alllawn fertilizer should beapplied to establishedlawns in the fall, fromSeptember through De-cember.

Do not fertilize estab-lished lawns in March orApril, unless you have towhen you apply yourcrabgrass preventerproducts.

For older lawns that

are still yellow-green bymid-May, about one-halfpound of actual nitrogen(or 5 pounds of a 10-10-10fertilizer) should be ap-pliedper1,000 square feetof lawn to restore a darkgreen color.

But in general, springand summer nitrogentends to feed the weedsand crabgrass more thanthe lawn, and it may alsocause more lawn dis-eases, insects, and thatchbuildup.

Mid-March to mid-April is normally a goodtime to apply crabgrasspre-emergence herbicideto lawns to prevent thegermination of crabgrassseeds.

Most of the crabgrassin 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.

Carefully read labelprecautions before buy-ing the herbicide, sincemany of them will dam-age or kill newly-seededlawns, aswillmany herbi-cides containing 2,4-D forbroadleaf weed control.In newly seeded lawns,use siduron (Tupersan).This product can even beapplied at seeding time,anditalsocontrolsfoxtail,another common weedylawn grass.

FISH FRY

They may have justgotten their driver’s li-censes last week, butthey’re the leaders of to-morrow. Whether or notwe’re ready, millennials(workers between theages of 18 and 32) alreadycomprise more than athird of the current work-force, and that number isexpected to reach 75 per-cent by 2025. In fact, mil-lennials are already start-ing to move into positionsof management.

However, many ques-tions about millennials’workforce preparednesshave been raised, due totheir perceived lack of“soft skills,” particularlyaround interpersonalcommunications and rela-tionship-building. Be-cause millennials havegrown up surrounded bytechnology and socialmedia such as texting,Facebook, and Twitter,they’re very comfortablecommunicating short

bursts of information tolarge groups of people enmasse. However, when itcomes to face-to-facecommunications and abil-ity to work as a team,many companies find thatmillennials’ skills arelacking in theseareas.Un-fortunately, these skillsare not generally taughtin school; they’re learnedon-the-job through obser-vation and mentoring.

The goal of January’sRegional Youth Leader-ship’s Life Skills Session,sponsored by Trans-freight, was to provide aforum where studentscould learn and practicecommunication skills thatare essential to the work-force, and to leadershippositions. These skills allrelate to interpersonalcommunication and self-presentation: profession-al introductions, confi-dence and body language.The students learned allabout the importance ofnetworking, and got achance to try out theirnew skillset at the Speed

Networking Event. Thisevent was supported byabout 25 leaders fromarea companies, includ-ing Toyota, St. Elizabeth,PNC, Northern KentuckyUniversity, Multicraft,Chick-fil-A,CollegeofMt.

St. Joseph, and manymore.

The students who par-ticipated found this eventtobeveryvaluable.Onav-erage, they saw a 72 per-cent increase in knowl-edge, and a 59 percent in-

crease in related commu-nication skills, based onpre- and post-surveys.Manyof thecomments re-ceived from students fo-cused on how much theylearned:

»Great way to learn

how to talk to people»Made me step out of
