This year, the hunt will berestricted to youth supervisedby one adult, said Larry Har-rod, parks and recreation man-
ager for the county. Huntingdates will be Dec. 29, Dec. 31and Jan. 2, 2015, from dawn un-til 12:30 p.m.
Hunting by an adult accom-panying a youth will also bepermitted, Harrod said.
The county decided to havea youth hunt while children areon winter break from school inresponse to requests fromhunters who participated inlast year’s inaugural hunt, hesaid.
The goal of the hunt is to de-crease the amount of goosewaste from the shore of the
lake by scaring the birds away,Harrod said.
There will not be any otherhunting days at the park unlessthe goose population is notscared off in large enoughnumbers, Harrod said.
A meeting for prospectivehunters seeking to sign up forthe hunt and ask questions willbe at the Campbell County En-vironmental Education Center,1261 Race Track Road, Alexan-dria, at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 22.

As quickly as some fast-ris-ing cookie dough, one BooneCounty woman’s idea to bakecookies for her local sheriff’sdepartment has swelled to aproject involving 115 policedepartments in nine states.
Becky Grizovic, of Walton,was driving on Dec. 4, think-ing about the news coverageof police-involved shootingsand protests across the nation.She decided something had tobe done to show police theyare appreciated.
“The media has just beenpounding the police lately ...It’s just been weighing on mebecause I know so many goodcops,” said Grizovic, whosebrother is a police officer with
Cincinnati’s District 5.So Grizovic was inspired to
bake cookies for the BooneCounty Sheriff’s Department.
That’s how Cookies for aCop, found online atcookiesforacop.com, began.Word spread among herfriends and on Facebook,many of them friends or rela-tives of police officers. Thenext department she ap-proached was Florence. With-in four days, 75 departmentssigned up to accept cookies.
Grizovic, who works fromher Walton home as a virtualassistant, has a network oftrusted volunteers who willbake cookies to deliver to po-lice on Dec. 22. She added aspecial “shout-out” to fellow

Most of the work has in-

According to Grizovic,wives of police officersare saying they’ve neverbeen worried like they arenow.
The Cookies for a Copwebsite notes, “As we allknow, the news has beenrough and our officershave been under a tremen-dous amount of stress.
They are in a time of somuch uncertainty and un-rest. They are tired and inknowing people care andcare enough to show an in-credible act of #sweet-kindness like this can be agame changer.”
“My whole point rightnow is that the police justreally need some supportand need to know that peo-ple appreciate them,” Gri-zovic said.

As the shopping sea-son speeds up, police andshopper center repre-sentatives have univer-sal advice to help make atrip to shop stress-free.
Driving slow in park-ing lots is a good idea,said Ed Burk, Cold
Spring police chief. There are more people
backing out of parkingspaces, he said. And theholiday season is alsowhen accidents are typi-cally highest at shoppingcenters, Burk said.
“I would be extra cau-tious when drivingthrough parking lots dur-ing the holiday season be-cause more people areout, and they get distract-
ed,” he said.For preventing thefts
at shopping centers, com-mon sense comes intoplay, he said.
“Lock your cars, andput your stuff in thetrunk,” Burk said.
Retailers, workingwith police, are workingto make a shopping tripeasier and safer too, hesaid.
The property managerat the 350,000-square-
foot Cold Spring Cross-ing shopping center offAlexandria Pike near theAA Highway, hires off-duty officers to ease traf-fic and perform extra pa-trols, Burk said.
Officers typicallywork Friday evening andnoon to 7 p.m. Saturdayand Sunday shifts. Thereare extra shifts the weekbefore Christmas, hesaid.
“It’s extra security for
the customers who are upthere,” Burk said.
Officers also have theability to manually con-trol traffic lights at theintersection of Cross-roads Boulevard at U.S.27, he said.
Crestview Hills TownCenter property man-ager Christine Wessel-kamper said the propertyis set up for a stress-freeenvironment becauseparking is convenient to
the stores, and that everyplace is handicap andstroller accessible.
According to Wessel-kamper, most stores fol-low Dillard’s hours andFriday evenings andweekends are “the crazi-est” times to shop.
“The best time to shopis during the day ... If peo-ple have a day off, or timeafter work or time duringlunch,” she said.

My most fa-vorite Christmassong is “We needa little Christ-mas.” But rightnow, I need alittle more time.I’m sure you canrelate! Regard-less, I still say agift from thehand is a giftfrom the heart.
And I’m sharing one of myall-time favorites today.
Better than bestchocolate clusters
“A friend” contributed this.The ultimate cluster, really!Grandson Jack looked at thephoto of these and said, “Theylook so yummy.”
But, Jack has braces so hecan only enjoy the photo.Here’s my adaptation:
20 oz. pkg. Nestlé’s darkchocolate chips
8-9 ozs. dried cranberriesor cherries - I used cherriesand cut them up a bit
8 ozs. slivered almonds,toasted
8 plump dried apricots,diced or snipped with scissors
Coarse sea salt to sprinkle -just a teeny bit
Roast almonds in 350 degreeoven just until fragrant andgolden, stirring a couple timesfor a total of 10-15 minutes. Becareful as they can burn easily.
Melt chocolate in a nonstickpan over low heat. Removefrom heat when some lumpsremain and stir until smooth.Stir in everything but salt.Scoop out on sprayed pans orwaxed paper.
Sprinkle very, very lightlywith salt (just a few granules)and refrigerate until hard. Istore mine in the frig betweenpieces of parchment.
Paula’s foolproofstanding rib roast
Here’s one from Paula Deen,who, when I interviewed herway back when, said this is hermost popular and perfect reci-pe for rib roast. This cooks at alower temperature so you won’tget the splatter in the oven thatcomes with higher heat recipes,like the one I’m sharing on mysite. For Larry, who wants tomake sure this expensive cut ofmeat that he’s buying will turnout well.
1 (5-pound) standing ribroast
1 tablespoon House Sea-soning, recipe follows
House seasoning:Keeps in cool place, cov-
ered, up to 6 months.
1 cup salt1/4 cup black pepper1/4 cup garlic powderTip from Rita’s kitchen:I usually divide this in half
and then add sweet paprika totaste and a couple finely crum-bled bay leaves to one half anduse that as a general purposestew, etc. seasoning.
Allow roast to stand at roomtemperature for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 de-gree F. Rub roast with HouseSeasoning; place roast on a rackin the pan with the rib sidedown and the fatty side up.Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven.Leave roast in oven but do notopen oven door for 3 hours.About 30 to 40 minutes beforeserving time, turn oven to 375degrees F and reheat the roast.
Important: Do not remove roastor re-open the oven door fromtime roast is put in until readyto serve.
Rita’s foolproof standingrib roast.
I don’t have room for this inmy column, so check out mysite, Abouteating.com for therecipe.
Can you help?Ranch dressing like Taco
Casa. I always enjoy talking toGene Kennedy, owner of thishometown restaurant chain.For a while now, I’ve been get-ting requests for his ranchdressing.
When I asked, or rathertried to coerce him, for therecipe, he chuckled and more
or less said “no dice.” Legionsof his fans have asked for thisover the years so you’ll justhave to go and enjoy it at TacoCasa, one of our premier ethnicrestaurants.
BTW, Gene is going to be aguest on my cable show “Lovestarts in the kitchen” so I’ll askhim to feature it for tasting. Ifyou have a similar one, plsshare.
Coming soon:Laszlo’s restaurant stuffed
cabbage rolls.

DECEMBER 18, 2014 • CAMBELL COUNTY RECORDER • A9
Every fall, Northern Ken-tucky Health Department staffbegin to collect reports of flucases from doctors’ offices andhospitals. Between Octoberand late November, the reportswere trickling in, meaningthere was little flu activity inNorthern Kentucky.
But just before Thanks-giving, the trickle of reportsturned into a stream.
‘Tis the season – holidaysand increased flu activity oftengo together. Flu season typical-ly peaks between Decemberand February, but significantactivity can occur as late asMay.
This year, monitoring by theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention shows a con-cerning trend: One of the main
viruses circu-lating so farthis season isnot matched tothe vaccine.This virus, astrain of theH3N2, hashistoricallybeen associat-ed with moresevere illnessand mortality,especially in
older people and young chil-dren.
But, there are three thingsyou can do to protect yourselfthis flu season.
First, get vaccinated. Thevaccine still has value, of-fering protection against otherstrains of flu that circulate.
Antibodies created throughvaccination with one influenzavirus can offer some protec-tion against different influenzaviruses (this is called cross-protection). If you get the flu,the vaccine may give yourbody the help it needs to makethe illness less severe.
If you haven’t been vacci-nated yet, please add it to yourholiday to-do list; or if youhave a loved one who hasn’tbeen vaccinated yet, make apoint to either remind him orher to do so or take them.There are lots of choices aboutwhich vaccine to get, it’s con-venient, and most people canget it for little or no cost.
Second, take everyday pre-ventive actions like coveringcoughs and sneezes, staying
away from sick people andwashing your hands often.These steps will protect youfrom flu, common colds and avariety of other illnesses.
Third, if you become ill withcommon flu symptoms, in-cluding fever and body aches,contact your health care pro-vider. Early treatment withanti-viral medications, if ap-propriate, can lessen the sever-ity of the flu.
For millions of people everyseason, the flu can mean afever, cough, sore throat, run-ny or stuffy nose, muscleaches, fatigue, and miserabledays spent in bed – and thoseare the (relatively) lucky ones.
More than 200,000 peopleare hospitalized in the UnitedStates from flu complications
each year. The flu also can be deadly.
Between 1976 and 2006 esti-mates of yearly flu-associateddeaths in the United Statesrange from a low of about3,000 to a high of about 49,000people during the most severeseason.
Last flu season, five peoplein Northern Kentucky diedfrom flu complications.
The flu is just starting tocirculate in Northern Ken-tucky. Take steps now, includ-ing getting vaccinated, to pro-tect yourself through the holi-days and the entire flu season.

Dec. 11 questionThe Northern Kentucky
Chamber of Commerce hasendorsed a Local Option SalesTax as a legislative priority.Through a citizen vote, citiesand/or counties could raisethe sales tax a maximum of 1percent to pay for prede-termined capital projects,with the tax being removedupon completion? Would yousupport or oppose this legisla-tion? Why?
“No. Never saw a tax puton the books that didn’t stayon the books ... and beraised.”
Karen Swanson Dietz
“If it was truly removed, Iwould support it.”
Terri Due
“Nope. Pay too muchnow.”
John Plunkett
“Nope. We are alreadytaxed too much. I am sick oftaxes upon taxes. Seems likethe Chambers of Commerceare always so willing toreach into citizens’ pockets.”
Howard C. Aubrey
“I agree that once a tax ison the books, it is rarely (ifever) removed. Our localoption in Dallas increasedsales tax to 8.25 percent. Ididn’t complain too muchthough because we did notpay state income tax. Differ-ent story here. I would hopethat NKY could come upwith a better plan for capitalprojects.”
Brenda Turner Janning
“Could some of thesecapital projects be financedby grants or federal funds?”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is the best Christmas orholiday present you evergave? What is the best presentyou ever received?
Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to via email.Send your answers tondaly@community press.com withCh@troom in the subject line.
There is nothing about thedeath or near death of a child,at the hands of their caretak-er, which can be viewed posi-tively. Despite this sad andstark reality, we at PreventChild Abuse Kentucky(PCAK) are encouraged bythe release of the second an-nual report from the ChildFatality and Near FatalityExternal Review Panel.
This report reflects thework of a dedicated and vol-untary multi-disciplinarygroup of professionals (in-cluding a PCAK representa-tive). The panel’s commit-ment to data-driven, solution-focused recommendations arereadily apparent in this re-port.
PCAK has long advocatedfor the establishment of the
panel. Westrongly sup-port the needto conductin-depth re-views of everychild mal-treatmentfatality andnear fatality.This reviewmust be con-ducted withtwo goals in
mind – system improvementand prevention.
We are equally committedto the belief this review mustbe conducted in an atmos-phere of transparency andaccountability. While certain-ly not a final step, the recent-ly released report does repre-sent a significant step in the
right direction. It should alsobe acknowledged this hopefulprogress is largely due to acommitment made by thecurrent administration, thelegislature and many advo-cates across the state.
While this report is encour-aging, it is truly just an initialstep. If we are going to ad-dress this tragic issue, wemust commit to ongoing work,dialogue, and perseverance inthe face of challenges. Asclearly indicated in the re-port, change must occur with-in multiple systems and at alllevels of governmental lead-ership. The panel must in-crease its capacity to gatherdata, engage in critical analy-sis and develop specific rec-ommendations.
The mental health system,
law enforcement, courts andsocial services must eachcommit to shepherdingchange throughout all of itsprograms.
The General Assemblymust continue its bipartisansupport of the panel; and holditself accountable to providethe statutory framework andfiscal resources necessary toimplement panel recommen-dations. The administrationmust continue to support thepanel, while assuring the lev-el of autonomy and transpar-ency necessary for the panelto earn public trust.
Lastly, and perhaps mostimportantly, every citizen ofthe commonwealth mustmake a commitment to childabuse prevention. This willinvolve each of us becoming
more aware of the risks fac-ing children today.
We all have a responsibilityfor a two-pronged approach toprevention.
We must each commit toadvocating for the system’schange. We must also displayan equal commitment to sup-porting the families and chil-dren around us. This commit-ment is perhaps the mostcritical; as we are ultimatelyresponsible for the health andsafety of the children in ourcommunity.

JillSeyfred COMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST
Heroin is pure death. It isdevastating families in allcorners of our state.
As certain abused prescrip-tion drugs have become harderto obtain, heroin use has sky-rocketed. Every room of Ken-tuckians that I meet includesparents, relatives or friendswho’ve lost loved ones to her-oin.
And the data shows we canexpect more – in 2013, 31.9percent of overdose deathscame from heroin, up 60 per-cent from 2012. Put this in thecontext that more Kentuckiansnow die from drug overdosesthan car wrecks, and it is clear– heroin must be stopped. De-lay equals death.
Heroin legislation died in2014 because what legislatorsdisagreed on stopped themfrom passing the many provi-sions they agreed on. With the2015 session approaching, theanswer is clear – sit down now,identify areas of agreement,and pass a bill immediately.Lives depend on it.
From my discussions withfamilies, law enforcement,legislators and doctors, I be-
lieve there isagreement onthese steps:
» Manyoverdosedeaths couldbe preventedif drug userscould reportoverdoseswithout fear ofarrest. A GoodSamaritanLaw, passed by
20 other states, will encouragereporting and save lives.
» Naloxone, which reversesan overdose if applied quickly,is an effective tool to preventoverdoses. Like 24 other states,we must expand Naloxone’savailability to first responders.
I also believe legislatorsshould agree on two othertactics:
» While sentencing reduc-tion may be appropriate forsome drugs, it is wrong forheroin.
Penalties for dealing heroinmust be so severe they dis-suade a dealer from selling,and we must ensure a signifi-cant portion of any sentence is
actually served. » Heroin addiction is in-
credibly difficult to beat.While new laws provide cov-erage for some treatment, it istoo short, and doesn't work formany addicts. Comprehensivetreatment must be accessible.
Heroin has touched or willtouch – and possibly take – thelives of your family, friends, orneighbors. It has in my neigh-borhood. The first person I metin that neighborhood was a12-year-old girl who volun-teered to babysit. Recently, herbrother died of an overdose thefirst time he tried heroin. Onebad choice on one bad nightrobbed her family of theirloved one.
We must ensure that youngman and many others have notdied in vain, and use their sto-ries to educate all Kentuckiansthat taking heroin – even once– will wreck your life and thosearound you.

After years of sustained suc-cess in Division II, including 14straight winning seasons,Northern Kentucky Univer-sity’s women’s soccer teammade history in 2014. The Norseposted a winning record for thefirst time as a Division I pro-gram. The Norse finished theseason 9-8-3, advancing to thesemifinals of the Atlantic Suntournament.
The program that grew ac-customed to posting double-dig-it wins every season struggledin its first two season transition-ing from Division II to DivisionI. The Norse posted back-to-back six win seasons, losing 21matches during that span. Thisyear was a turning point.
“The first two years werechallenging. We’re definitelymoving forward,” said headcoach Bob Sheehan. “We dem-onstrated that we have madegrowth. We’re definitely mak-ing strides.”
The team could sense a shiftin the offseason. The young
squad -- there were just two sen-iors on the roster -- entered thisseason with more confidencethan any of their previous Divi-sion I seasons.
“It was a totally differentatmosphere this year,” said red-shirt sophomore AubreyMuench. “We honed in on our in-dividual footwork and I thinkthat really showed this season.”
Muench, a Newport CentralCatholic graduate, transferredto NKU after spending her red-shirt season at Louisville. Sherelished the chance to play nearhome and at a high level. If NKUhad the Division I presence itnow has when Muench was be-ing recruited from NewCath,she likely would have commit-ted right out of high school. Sheis now spreading the message ofNKU soccer to current north-ern Kentucky high school stu-dent-athletes.
“We can set an example andlet high school girls know thatthey can play close to home. It’sbeen awesome having my fam-ily and friends here to watch allof our home games,” saidMuench. “We want to keep the
local girls local.”Norse recruits have em-
braced the opportunity to turnthe program back into a peren-nial winner. On this year’s ros-ter, 21of the 27 women are fromthe Greater Cincinnati/North-ern Kentucky area. They imme-diately bought in to the pro-gram’s new mission as a mem-ber of the A-Sun.
“The Cincinnati/NorthernKentucky area is a very strongarea. Our goal is to attract thatlocal talent,” said Sheehan. “Wetalk to recruits about building astrong Division I program fromits infancy. Our prospects seemto like that challenge.”
Muench scored a goal andhad an assist as the Norseearned their first A-Sun tourna-ment victory, defeating NorthFlorida, 2-0. The NewCath gradwill be a leader for the Norse in2015.
“She’s an outstanding ath-lete,” said Sheehan. “She hastremendous upside.”

“It was a little differ-ent. Every winter, I ex-pect to go to basketball,”said Muench. “It is aweird transition havingnothing to do in the winter.Physically and mentally Ican keep the same mental-ity.”
The extra repetitionsand focus on individualtraining helped Muenchfinish tied for second onthe team with 13 points.All of NKU’s top scorerswill return in 2015. They
are eager to get started onanother fruitful offsea-son.
“We had a tremendousspring and feel that thatcarried over into the fallseason,” said Sheehan.“Moving forward into thisoffseason, our focus is onindividual improvement.”
With so many experi-enced players back in2015, the Norse are excit-ed to build on their 2014success. They also under-stand that expectationswill be higher within theprogram and that oppo-nents will give the Norsemore respect next season.
“It will be 10 timesharder than it was lastseason,” said Muench.“We are held to a muchhigher standard now.”

Bishop Brossart forward Emily King pivots to shoot in thegirls basketball game against Beechwood High School. Former Northern Ken-
tucky University women’sbasketball coach NancyWinstel will be the interimathletic director at NotreDame Academy for thenext six to eight weeks.
Winstel won a pair ofDivision II national titlesduring a 29-year coachingcareer at NKU, her almamater. The Norse were na-tional champions in 2000and 2008. They were na-tional runners-up in 2003,with five appearances inthe final four. She retiredfrom coaching followingthe 2011-12 season with636 wins at NKU.
Notre Dame first-yearathletic director, MyannaWebster, who took overfor longtime AD Kim Gun-ning, made the announce-ment to her peers in anemail last Tuesday. Web-ster is going on maternityleave with a late Januaryor early February return.Her due date was Dec. 11.She’s expecting a boy.
Winstel, a Newport na-tive with strong ties to No-tre Dame, met with Web-ster for a long lunch onFriday as the two mappedout the transition.
“It’s a perfect fit whileI’m away,” said Webster, aformer University of Cin-cinnati volleyball player.“Nancy obviously has a lotof experience with athlet-ics. There’s a lot that I canlearn from her. She’s donevarious things with Catho-lic charities. She knowsour values here at NotreDame. We asked her if shewanted to do it.”
Winstel agreed to help.“We’re lucky to have
her,” Webster said. “Thenice thing about it is, Ishould be able to see thewinter sports wrap up. Isaw the winter sports kickoff, and I’m going to be
gone during the middle ofthe season. I hope to seeeverybody in the postsea-son.”
Winstel, who celebrat-ed her 61st birthday Dec.10, had reduced her work-load to individual basket-ball training with bothboys and girls, somespeaking engagementsand helping with basket-ball clinics. She regularlyattends local middleschool, high school andcollege basketball games.
She built her legendarystatus by winning. At thetime of her retirement,Winstel’s 675 career victo-ries ranked fifth all-timein Division II.
Her .726 winning per-centage (675-255) ranked21st. The maiden nationaltitle was the first in anysport at NKU and the firstnational crown by a Ken-tucky college women’steam in any sport at anylevel.
The second title madeNKU one of only fiveschools to win more thanone in Division II women’sbasketball.
Named Division II na-tional coach of the year in2000 and national coach ofthe decade by the Wom-en’s Division II Bulletin,Winstel still ranks third onNKU’s all-time rebound-ing list with an average of8.3 per game. She playedfor then-Northern Ken-tucky State College’s firstwomen’s basketball teamin 1974.
“I only have one heart,and Northern Kentuckystill has that,” said Win-stel, a graduate of defunctSt. Thomas High School inFort Thomas. She oncehad former NKU men’sbasketball coach KenShields as a teacher. “Now,I get to root for kids. I getto keep my hands in athlet-ics, and help Notre Dameas much as I can.”

Winter weather in Ken-tucky tends to presentchallenges in the form ofsnow, ice and freezingtemperatures. What isn’ttalked about often is thediscomfort caused byweather inside the home.
The itch that plaguesmany people during win-ter can be the result of in-side air that does not con-
tain enough moisture.Low humidity levels cancause high levels of dis-comfort including dryskin, static electricity, andstuffy sinuses.
The air in a house isdrier in winter becausethere is less moisture inthe air outside. For lessthan $30, a simple hy-grometer gives an accu-
rate read-ing of therelative hu-midity lev-el in yourhome.
Home-ownersshould firstmake surethe heatingsystemduct workis not leak-
ing. A tight duct systemsaves energy and reducesthe amount of outside aircoming in the house. Lookat both the supplies andthe returns in the crawlspace, attic or uncondi-tioned basement.
Secondly, seal any air
leaks around windows,doors, plugs in outsidewalls, and other openingsto the outside. If the househas a gas furnace, checkfor the presence of an out-side air supply directly tothe furnace room. Thissystem reduces theamount of outside airbrought into the rest of thehouse.
When outside air andinside air contain thesame amount of water,typically condensationwill not accumulate onwindows, non-insulatedwalls, or other cold sur-faces. Raising the amountof water in inside air cancreate condensation onthese surfaces.
Humidity should beraised just enough to cre-ate a comfortable envi-ronment. Levels of 35 per-cent or less are adequatein winter.
If you have taken stepsto make your home airtight and have properlyvented your furnace, butthe air is still too dry, tryadding some houseplantsto your decor. If the prob-lem is most noticeable atnight, a small humidifierin the bedroom might dothe job.
