EDGEWOOD - Friendship.Trust. Positivity. Family.
These are all the thingsmembers of the Turkey FootMiddle School cheerleadingteam have learned about thisyear.
“These girls will always be inmy heart,” head coach MicheleBeier said. “They’ve had somechallenges, a rebuilding of theteam with 16 members going onto high school and having tochange routines several timeswhen there were at least nine in-juries at once. They went fromcompeting as a large team to amedium team then back to alarge team.
“This team is a phenomenalgroup of girls, who stayed posi-tive through it all.”
Recently the 22-memberteam competed in back-to-back
competitions. On Jan. 30, theybegan their day performing atthe UCA Bluegrass Challenge inLexington. The finished in sec-ond place. Then, the team trav-
eled to the BB&T Center atNorthern Kentucky Universityto compete in the NKCCA Com-petition. The girls walked awaywith first place in the Super
Large Division. “Overall, it was one success-
ful day for the Turkey Foot Mid-dle School cheerleaders,” Beiersaid. “A marvelous end to a fan-tastic season. This team had areal desire to win and provethemselves.”
Eighth-grade cheerleaderJenna Marie Eckler, 14, said thesuccess at the competitions wasa “big accomplishment.”
“We’ve had our ups anddowns this year, but we haveworked hard and really came to-gether as a team,” she said. “I’mreally proud of everyone. We’reall like family. We’re alwaysbonding and encouraging eachother.”

For Dave Huff there’snothing quite like thefeeling he getsperched on his bike,the wind zipping past
his ears as his legs spin fullthrottle.
“The one word that comesto mind is freedom,” said Huff,of Park Hills. “You get on thatbike and you’ve earned yourwings.”
Huff is the founder andhead of Riding Forward, agroup whose mission is to ad-vocate, educate and developtoday’s youth and communi-ties to reach their full potentialthrough partnerships involv-ing two-wheeled sports. Hehas been instrumental in thedevelopment of several biketrails at Camp Ernst YMCA, aswell as the new England-Idle-wild Bike Park in Boone Coun-ty.
Now he’s excited that an or-ganization in his community ispaving the path to make bikingan easier and more commonmode of transportation.
“So many cities across thecountry have figured it out, it’s
pretty awesome that KentonCounty is getting on board,”Huff said.
He’s referring to an effortof Planning and DevelopmentServices (PDS) of KentonCounty to educate citizensabout bicycle and pedestriansafety and to raise awarenessof an upcoming bicycle and pe-destrian planning project.
Bicycles lessen need forcars, give healthyoptions
The project came to light in2014 during development ofthe Kenton County compre-hensive plan, Direction 2030,PDS senior planner JamesFausz said.
“This is an important topicfor residents in Kenton Coun-ty,” Fausz said. “We’re at thebeginning stages, but hopeful-ly in late summer to early fall,we’ll begin work on a plan thatwill include community input.
“Bike and pedestrian plan-ning are important. Peopleneed to have safe and secureoptions for these types of trav-el. Biking and walking lessenthe needs for cars to be onroadways which helps elimi-
nate congestion and pollution.They also give people optionsto be healthier,” Fausz said.
Recently, PDS received a$10,000 Paula Nye MemorialGrant from the Kentucky Bi-cycle and Bikeway Commis-sion. Fausz said the monies willraise awareness of the plan-ning project, as well as educatecitizens on bicycle and pedes-trian safety.
Kentucky Bicycle and Bike-way Commissioner JasonRamler said PDS was selected
to receive the grant becausethe commission though thatproject would have a positiveand significant impact on bicy-cling and pedestrian safety inNorthern Kentucky.
“Not only does their pro-gram target a large portion ofthe general public with impor-tant messages about bicycleand pedestrian safety, but italso has a component to edu-cate public decision makers inKenton County,” said Ramler,who lives in Edgewood.
Volunteers needed fornew bicycle andpedestrian plan
“We felt that was a criticalneed because improving thesafety of bicyclists and pedes-trians often needs buy-in fromour elected officials to supportthe funding and infrastructureneeds of these essential travelmodes. We also liked that theirprogram will be a call-to-ac-

Kentucky,” Ramler said.Ramler said bicycling
and walking have been in-creasing as a means to im-prove health, save on theexpense of owning and op-erating a motor vehicle, toimprove the environ-ment, and to enjoy the out-doors.
According to the Alli-ance for Biking and Walk-ing, about 2.3 percent ofpeople commuted to workin Kentucky by eitherwalking or biking in 2014.In the U.S., 17 percent ofpedestrian trips and 39percent of bicycle tripsare made by children un-der 16. Similarly, foradults over 65, 10 percentof trips are made by walk-ing and 6 percent by bike.
“It’s important to do allwe can to make sure thatthese more vulnerablepopulations are protectedand that everyone has theinformation they need tobe safe on our roads,”Ramler said. “Bicyclingand walking are legiti-mate and legal modes oftravel. Some rely solelyon these modes for theirtravel needs. It’s not onlyimportant to educate thebicyclists and pedestrianson safe practices but also
tion to assist them inrecruiting volunteers to acitizen advocacy groupthat will assist in creatinga new bicycle and pedes-trian plan for Northern
motorists.” PDS has also leveraged
a donation from the Tele-communication Board ofNorthern Kentucky toproduce a bicycle and pe-destrian safety video.
The Paula Nye Memori-al Grant was establishedabout a decade ago. Thefunding comes from salesof Kentucky’s Share theRoad license plate. Theplate sales generate about
$70,000 per year for thegrant and to date have pro-vided about a half milliondollars to support bicycleand pedestrian safety inKentucky. The grant isnamed for Paula Nye whowas Kentucky’s Bicycleand Pedestrian Coordina-tor with the Transporta-tion Cabinet.

BURLINGTON -Homeless to Hopeful isn’tjust the title of a fundrais-er.
It’s the ultimate goalfor the Emergency Shel-ter of Northern Kentucky.
“Through the Home-less to Hopeful event, wehope to educate the com-munity about the causesof homelessness, howthey can get involved andend homelessness,” saidKim Webb, EmergencyShelter executive direc-tor.
“We want people tolearn how they can helpand that those who arehomeless are just regulareveryday people. Theseare people who want to belooked at not looked past.Our community can makea difference.”
The Emergence Shel-ter will host this fourth an-nual fundraising event 7-10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26, atFirst Church of Christ,Student Ministry Build-ing, 6080 Camp ErnstRoad, Burlington. Theevent features a silentauction and raffles.
The cost is $16.71, thecost to shelter a person forone night. Students whobring a donated item willbe admitted free. To pur-chase tickets or make adonation, visit www.emergencyshelternky.org, orcall Laura Whiting at 859-291-4555 or email [email protected].
This year’s event isquite different than previ-ous years, said Emergen-cy Shelter office managerLaura Whiting. The themeis “A Passport to Caring.”Each attendee will be giv-en a “passport” as they ar-rive, she said. They will beinvited to visit differentstations to learn about dif-ferent struggles and ob-stacles facing homelessadults, families, studentsand veterans. They willalso learn about what’s be-ing done to help.
“Our goal is for people
to leave each stop know-ing something they didn’tknow about homelessnessbefore,” Whiting said.“Also this year we’vemoved our (event) loca-tion to out in the suburbs.We’re hoping to drawmore attendees fromthese areas. For many ofthose living in the sub-urbs, homelessness is anabstract thing. They knowthere are homeless peo-ple, but they don’t neces-sarily see what we see ev-ery day.”
Whiting said there aremany misconceptionsabout those who are home-less.
“They’re not homelessbecause they’re drunks oraddicts or bums,” she said.“The average age at ourshelter is 47. And they’repeople who are elderly,sick or have just lost a job.In fact, 40 percent are em-ployed and have jobs andgo to work every day.There’s children too. Ken-tucky leads the nation inthe number of homelesschildren, there are over60,000 homeless childrenin the state.”
The Emergency Shel-ter, located at 634 Scott St.,Covington, provides shel-ter which is life-saving inthe winter and life-chang-ing in the summer, Whit-ing said. The shelter
opened its doors for thefirst time in the winter of2008, as the region’s onlycold weather shelter foradults. In the summer of2010, Whiting said, theybegan providing shelterduring the warmermonths for men who areworking toward achievinghousing, income and im-provement of health.
According to Whiting,this winter the shelter hashosted, on average, 100guests a night. Last sum-mer, of the 100 men in thehomeless to housing pro-gram, 74 graduated intohousing.
“We’re doing greatthings here,” she said.“We’re 90 percent private-ly funded, so we depend ondonations to continue thethings we’re doing tomake a difference in thelives of others and ourcommunity.”
The shelter, she said, isalways looking for sup-porters, whether it’s thegiving of monies, items ortime. According to Whit-ing, the best thing some-one can do to help some-one who is homeless is tobring them to the shelter.Here they can get a meal,have a safe place to stayand get connected to re-sources that can helpthem end their homeless-ness, she said.

Fire burned stubbornly the eve-ning of Feb. 13 at the RabbitHash General Store. The 1831structure, the souvenirs, candy,
antiques, all that merchandise, solovingly arranged by proprietor TerrieMarkesbery, took a long while to turninto ashes.
The General Store as we knew it isgone. But memories of The Hash willlive forever. The Recorder put out acall for emails and photos describingyour favorite memories. Thanks tothose who shared recollections.
Soon laughter and music will returnto Rabbit Hash. Someday a new build-ing may emerge. Meanwhile here arereasons why everybody cares so muchabout the General Store.
* * * *I will always cherish the memories
of riding in the bed of my grandpa’struck down there to get a pop or an icecream when I would visit. These mem-ories will always be held close to myheart.
Douglas Throm, St. Louis, Missouri
On my first date with the beautifulNora Ellen I knew I’d have to take hersomewhere that would exhibit clearlyto her just what she was in for ifthingsworkedout be-tween us.There’dnot be toomanyfancydinners orformaldances,but a BBQsandwichfrom theScaldedHog andsome toetappin’ at the barn dance wasn’t out ofthe question.
So I picked her up in my old GMC
and headed straight for the GeneralStore. We sat by the river and talkedfor hours before I mustered the cour-age to lean over and give her that firstkiss. Two babies and five years laterI’m the happiest man in the world andat least once a month we go back to theHash and re-create that first kiss andgive thanks for the amazing thing thatwas born right there on the banks ofthe river.
Jeremy Spotted Leaf Turner, Big Bone
My memory of my kids alwaysenjoying their candy cigarettes afterthe parade.
Always nice letting them enjoythings I did as a kid.
Kristy Loschiavo, Burlington
Countless steamy summer nights,cold Sundays behind the stove, andsleepy weekday afternoons make up
my memories of the General Store. It’swhere I spent time with my closestfriends and where I brought new bud-dies. It’s where I first bought beer andwhere I took refuge from my lastheartbreak. It’s where, on the porchthree years ago, I reconnected with anold acquaintance who recently becamemy husband. The Store was our meet-ing place, but as long as our communi-ty continues to come together on thebanks of the Ohio, the spirit of RabbitHash survives.
Becky Haltermon RobinsonOriginally from Union, Kentucky, now in
West Palm Beach, Florida
I grew up in the store, my mothergrew up there and my grandmothergrew up there. My grandparents wereCliff and Lib Stephens. My sister Shar-on and I spent most weekends and
much of our summers playing on theriverbank and looting the candy andice cream offerings of the store. I willalways remember sitting around thestove on Saturday night, listening tofamily and friends shoot the breeze. Itwas a perfect childhood and I miss itand the people from it everyday. Isuppose now I will miss the store, too.
Suzie Langen, Burlington
I first discovered Rabbit Hash on aroad trip about 25 years ago – comingback from some forgotten southernvacation spot of lesser importance.Leaving the highway on a whim tofollow the river we happened acrossthis unique and special place calledRabbit Hash. In the 15 years since myreintroduction to that special place, Ihave learned that Rabbit Hash is aboutmuch more than its anchor – the Gen-eral Store.
Like so many other historic trea-sures in our nation, Rabbit Hash’s“Sense of Place” is no accident. Itcomes primarily from the people whohave poured their hearts and souls intopreserving it; and who continue towork toward a shared vision of whatRabbit Hash’s heritage is and can be.The loss of the original Rabbit HashGeneral Store is heartbreaking, butdon’t let it be a death knell. The RabbitHash Historical Society and theirsupporters have and will continue tosteward this special place and havevowed to rebuild. It may be too soon tosay what form the new store will take,but Rabbit Hash will continue as aspecial place because of the peoplewho love and cherish it.

FLORENCE – WhenMatt Ryan was younger,he wanted to become arock star.
“I still want to be a rockstar,” said Ryan, now 21,of Hebron. So three yearsago, right out of ConnerHigh School, Ryan hiredon at Mubea in Florence.
“I needed a real jobwith commensurate payand I found Mubea’s ap-prentice program had allthe qualifications,” Ryansaid.
In fact, Ryan was oneof nine December 2015graduates of Mubea’sthree-year program,which linked up with Ga-teway Community andTechnical College’s gen-eral studies, led him to anassociate’s degree in elec-trical engineering and asolid job. Mubea paid forall his time at Gateway in-cluding books and tuition,everything while he con-tinued a strenuous workschedule at Mubea’s plantin Florence.
“This (electrical tech-nical work) is a big field,and I think, wow, I’mstarted,” Ryan said.
Currently, 31 appren-tices are enrolled at vari-ous stages of the pro-gram. This July, 10 morewill start. All spend partof their time at Gatewayand part at one of Mubea’scampus of locations inBoone County. MubeaNorth America pays theentire tab – schooling plusan hourly wage – and of-fers apprentices a chanceto spend up to threemonths at the company’sfacilities in Germany.
Mubea makes high-tech parts for the auto in-dustry, including springs,high-tech hose clampsand frame pieces that arelight in weight. Today’sauto industry, whether inNorth America, Europeor China and Japan, al-ways want cars lighterand more fuel efficient.In fact, Mubea suppliesparts to every Americanauto maker and eight outof 10 cars on the road runon Mubea parts, accord-ing to company literature.
Another apprentice,Joey Baxter, 21, of Peters-burg, became a mainte-nance technician as didColin Chazuka, of FortMitchell. He joined Mu-bea in 2012 at the sametime as Matt Ryan.
“I came over to Mubeaon a field trip from Con-ner,” Baxter said. “I wasreally fascinated by theidea of the apprenticeprogram and signed up.”
Baxter, the size of atackle in football, smilesconfidently at theprospects of his future in
developing better andbetter automobile parts.
According to MubeaCEO Doug Cain, the com-pany spends approxi-mately $50,000 per ap-prentice on equipment,tuition, books and how toget along on the job. Theentire program is budget-ed at around $2 millionthis year.
Another of the gradu-ating apprentices, ColinChazuka, 40, originallyfrom Detroit, worked forMubea for three years be-fore joining the appren-tice program.
“In the short run, I hadto take a pay cut, but withthis education, it takes theworries off the future,”Chazuka, a maintenancetechnician, said. “With
the economy alwayschanging, I had to get aneducation to get a goodjob.
“With what I have ob-tained through Mubea, ifa leave to get a job in, say,Texas, or anywhere, I stillhave a good career.”
Chazuka, who is mar-ried with three children,lives in Fort Mitchell.
Jesse Phillips, a SimonKenton graduate, joinedMubea right out of highschool in 2012 and jumpedat the apprentice pro-gram. Phillips, who ismarried with a youngdaughter, lives in Morn-ing View in Kenton Coun-ty
“I saw it as an opportu-nity to be trained and geta degree without any stu-dent loans,” said Phillips,now a tool maker techni-cian. “I want to make bet-ter ways for the place torun.”
The CEO Cain ex-plained that Mubea was“unable to find sufficient-ly qualified persons tosupport the growth we’vehad in our facilities.”
Mubea has grown toabout 1,400 employees
from 500 a few years ago. “Adapting a model
used in Mubea’s Germanfacilities, the apprenticeprogram developed from2012 to now with ninegraduates and more tocome,” Cain said.
“The program hasbeen working for manyyears in Germany,” Cain
said. “We believe the ap-prentice program isworking for us here.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS
FEBRUARY 18, 2016 • COMMUNITY RECORDER • 9ANEWS
I couldn’t wait to tellyou that I now have a newfan of my “potions.” Asmany of you know, I makesome of my own simplemedicines. A while back Ishared my homemadecough syrup recipe with
lemon,ginger,honey andcayenne. Ikeep thaton hand foranyonecomingdown witha cold orflu.
Well,yesterday, I
got to “doctor up” myhusband, Frank. Nowtruth be told, the mannever gets a cold or flu.But a few days ago, hestarted hacking, was fe-verish and very congest-ed. So I gave him doses ofthe cough medicine alongwith this really goodchilled fever bustingpunch. I think he wassurprised at how quicklyboth helped.
I mentioned that dur-ing a presentation I didfor women engineers atthe University of Cincin-nati and a couple of thestudents wanted me toinclude the punch recipehere along with tips onwhy it’s good for you. Soyou get a bonus today!

Fever bustin’ chilled punch
Sometimes when we have the flu or a cold, a fever is part of it. But staying hydrated is soimportant. We want something chilled and refreshing. This drink does it all: it’s delicious, hydratingand energy boosting.
I like to have this punch on hand even if no one is sick. It’s good for the immune system, alwaysrefreshing and a good afternoon pick-me-up.
Now if you’d like more healthful, vitamin filled drinks, check out my site abouteating.com.Stir together and chill:
2 cups each: all natural fruit punch, pineapple juice and either cherry/pomegranate orcranberry/pomegranate juice.
Lately I’ve been making it with cherry/pomegranate and it’s a bit sweeter than cranberry/pomegranate.
A wedge of lemon or a few slices of strawberry for garnish makes the drink look even moreinviting.
Why this recipe is good for you:The punch contains vitamin C which helps fight infection and builds immune system. Pineap-
ple is great for sore throats, and cranberry/cherry/pomegranate has lots of antioxidants.Lemons and strawberries contain vitamin C.
Miso glazed salmon
Cooks quickly and evenly under the broiler.February is American Heart Month, so any time youcan incorporate seafood in your meals, do it.
4-6 salmon filets, about 6 ounces each1/2 cup packed brown sugar – or substitute1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce1/4 cup hot water3 tablespoons light miso (soybean paste)
Preheat broiler. Combine first 4 ingredients,stirring with a whisk. Arrange fish in a shallowbaking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon misomixture evenly over fish. Broil 10 minutes or untilfish flakes easily when tested with a fork, bastingtwice with miso mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seedsand serve.
Why this recipe is good for you:Salmon contains all-important Omega 3’s,
good for your brain, hair, skin, nails and heart.
Tuna and peas
Gosh, I can’t tell you the times I made this formy kids, nieces and nephews. My culinary reper-toire wasn’t vast in those days, but this was alwaysa hit.
But even to this day, this recipe is simplyknown in our house as tuna and peas.
This makes a pretty thick mixture, so if youwant, increase the butter, flour and milk by halfagain.
1 box frozen peas, thawed – use as little or asmuch as you want
2 tablespoons each butter and flour1 cup milk1 small can tuna, drainedPepper to taste
Melt butter and flour together and cook justuntil butter melts and mixture looks golden, notbrown. Whisk in milk and cook until thickened.Stir in peas and tuna and cook until peas are done.Season to taste.
To serve: either alone or over whole grainthin bagels or toast points
Why this recipe is good for you:Canned tuna contains Omega 3s too. Peas
are good for your bones and immune system. Theyare good for sniffles, too. Milk contains bone-building calcium and pepper has antioxidants in it,too.

place to go for a romantic evening? What makes itspecial?
“The better romantic places to go in Cincinnatihave one thing in common, a great view. Placessuch as The Prima Vista in the Price Hill area andThe Celestial in Mount Adams are two of manysuch places. The Radisson in Covington has a re-volving restaurant on top, covered parking anddecent room rates. Now if we could only get theformer 5-star Gourmet Room to return to the Hil-ton near Fountain Square. Go Figure!”

Primavista in Price Hill is a popular destination for a romantic evening.
On Jan. 4, I was honored totake the oath of office as Ken-tucky’s 50th attorney general.During my swearing in, Iplaced my hand on the Bible,Isaiah 1:17. It reads: “Learn todo good; seek justice; rescuethe oppressed ….”
These are the reasons I wascalled to this job, and they areexactly what I intend to do.
The Attorney General’sOffice seeks justice and de-fends the oppressed. We pro-vide a voice for the voicelessand a lifeline for the lost andthe lonely, the abandoned andthe forgotten.
We protect those who can-not protect themselves andare the last line of defense tothose who need it most.
To us, every Kentuckianmatters.
Drafters of Kentucky’sConstitution understood theimportance of the attorneygeneral, removing it from thetraditional executive branchand making it its own constitu-tional office. In doing so, theyensured that the attorneygeneral was not either thegovernor’s or legislature’slawyer, but the people’s law-yer.
That brings with it a tre-mendous responsibility.
I see the attorney generalas the chief advocate and pro-tector for our Kentucky fam-ilies. That is why my admini-stration is focused on address-ing the persistent challengesour families face – preventing
and prose-cuting childabuse, protect-ing seniorsfrom scamsand abuse,better ad-dressing Ken-tucky’s drugepidemic andseeking jus-tice for vic-tims of rape.
To help me fight thesetough, persistent challenges, Ihave assembled a team ofexperienced and diverse lead-ers committed to serving thepeople of Kentucky with thehighest ethical standards.Together, we will engage incritical work like handling thecommonwealth’s criminalappeals to keep predatorsbehind bars.
Our Consumer ProtectionDivision protects you, thepublic, from fraud and scams,and enforces Kentucky’s com-petition laws to ensure ourcitizens aren’t gouged at thegas pump or at the supermar-ket. Likewise, our Rate In-tervention Division representsyou before the Public ServiceCommission to make sureyour utility bills are fair. Wealso fight to make sure thatyour tax dollars are notabused by investigating andprosecuting Medicaid, SocialSecurity and other fraud.
Our Civil Unit representsthe commonwealth in law-suits, and renders opinions
that ensure your governmentis transparent and that agen-cies follow the law. Throughall of these divisions, the of-fice returns tens of millions ofdollars each year to the stateand to victims, and puts andkeeps dangerous criminals injail.
The attorney general is alsochief advocate for victims,and my Office of Victims Ad-vocacy focuses on standing upfor victims’ rights, as well asproviding training to preventand identify abuse, humantrafficking and domestic vio-lence.
As a proud Kentuckian, Iknow our state is special, aplace with a rich history and acore set of values and beliefsthat tie us all together. Ourpioneer families establishedthis great Commonwealth asour young nation’s “First Fron-tier.” If we are to meet theongoing challenges of ourstate and chart new paths, wemust stand united in the spiritof bipartisanship and determi-nation of those who came be-fore us. And that means wecan have only one agenda –representing you, the peopleof Kentucky.
My office will work withany official, whether in Frank-fort or your own courthouse,to build an even greater Ken-tucky for our children, fam-ilies and most vulnerable citi-zens.

At our recent sold-outAutoVision conference, na-tionally known speakers andexecutives shared innovativeideas about Kentucky’s automanufacturing future. Lead-ers from Ford, GM and topauto analysts offered insiderinsights that are extremelyvaluable to our state’s manu-facturers and suppliers.
But the session that at-tracted a standing-room-onlycrowd wasn’t about the latestdesigns or innovations – itwas about people. Attendeescrowded in to talk aboutworkforce development.
Kentucky is setting a blis-tering pace in automotiveproduction and support,charging ahead as the third-highest producer of cars andlight trucks in the country.But to keep our pedal to thefloor, our industry needsmore skilled workers – andwe need them now.
The Kentucky AutomotiveIndustry Association (KAIA)is committed to improvingworkforce development tosupport the state’s vital automanufacturing sector. As wecelebrated ManufacturingDay on Oct. 2, it’s an idealtime to look at why this indus-try is a smart career choice.
Automotive manufactur-ing is a massive economicplayer in Kentucky. This vitalindustry:
» Contributes $14 billion tothe state’s economy, or $1 ofevery $13.
» Supports 136,500 jobs.That’s roughly 1 out of every18 jobs (including direct,indirect and induced effects).
» Has plants in more thantwo-thirds of Kentucky’s 120counties.
Thanks to these successes,our auto industry urgentlyneeds more trained workers.Nobody is more keenly awareof the demand for skilledlabor than members of theKAIA. But the general public,and particularly students, arefrequently unaware that man-ufacturing offers a path to areliable career at higherwages than many other sec-tors. Plus, many of thesecareers do not demand acostly four-year college de-gree.
Consider the median 2014Kentucky wages for thesejobs commonly found atplants that build vehicles andtheir components:
» Automotive, robotics ormanufacturing engineers(bachelor’s degree): $75,550to $76,900
» Tool and die makers(post-secondary certificate,associate’s degree): $50,200
» Machinists (post-second-ary certificate): $43,000
» Welders (high school,post-secondary certificate):$35,600
At KAIA, we realize that
manufactur-ing is fight-ing a percep-tion problem.The factoriesof genera-tions pastmay havebeen dirty,dark or evendangerous,but that’s farfrom the case
today. Today’s plants arebright, clean and most impor-tant, they’re safe.
Today’s manufacturingworker isn’t a drone, end-lessly inserting Tab A intoSlot B. Today’s plant employ-ee is a problem-solving multi-tasker, with adaptable skillsets in sectors as varied asmath, electrical engineering,personnel management andsoftware development. As ourmachinery becomes moresophisticated, so must ouremployees.
On behalf of KAIA, I en-courage parents, educatorsand students to explore ad-vanced manufacturing in theautomotive industry as aworthwhile career. In addi-tion to university and commu-nity college websites, hereare a few other resources tohelp you map a route to arewarding automotive career:
» www.kyfame.com: KYFAME, the Kentucky Feder-ation for Advanced Manu-facturing Education, is apartnership of regional em-ployers seeking to createhighly skilled workers. Em-ployers train students whilethey are still in school.
» www.mfgday.com: Whilenot automotive-specific, thissite includes resources suchas scholarship informationand success stories. You caneven search for Manufactur-ing Day events in Kentuckynear you. Some of our mem-bers have planned tours andother events.
» www.onetonline.org andwww.bls.gov/ooh/: These sites(O*NET OnLine and the fed-eral government’s Occupa-tional Outlook Handbook) arenot automotive-specific, butare great for researching notonly the outlook for automo-tive careers, but the type ofwork done, the skills andeducation required and thepay scale by geographic area.
The KAIA is poised togrow the automotive industry,but we can’t do it alone.Whether you’re considering asecond career, choosing acollege major, or planningyour path after high school,don’t overlook what our in-dustry has to offer. Together,we can build a stronger Ken-tucky economy.

The Covington Catholicand Notre Dame Academyswimming and diving teamsare under new guidance thisseason with former swim-mers as first-year headcoaches who returned totheir alma maters.
The coaches may be new,but Region 7 championshipmeet results looked familiarfor the defending champions.The Colonels and Pandasboth won their 18th consecu-tive titles at Silverlake in Er-langer, handing CovCathcoach Chris Goodpaster andNotre Dame coach CourtneySorrell regional crowns ontheir first tries at their oldschools.
CovCath won nine of 12events on a record-shatter-ing day and finished with 635points, good for a wide mar-gin over boys’ runner-upHighlands (341) and third-place Dixie Heights (246).Boone County (162) finisheda program-best fourth.
“It’s great, but we stillhave our eyes on the big pic-ture,” Goodpaster said of tak-ing on defending state cham-pion Louisville St. Xavier atthe Feb. 25-27 state meet atUniversity of Louisville’sRalph Wright Natatorium.CovCath is returning staterunner-up. “I think we canget close. They have 90 swim-mers. We have 30, so that’sbig odds.”
Notre Dame took nineevents en route to a winninggirls’ score of 563. DixieHeights (311) finished sec-ond, followed by third-placeHighlands (299) and Beech-wood (229).
“A win is exciting no mat-ter what. But this is the firsttime I can be proud for NotreDame as the coach, and itfeels great,” said Sorrell.“The mood has been happyfor the girls the entire meet.”
Highlands repeated ascombined team champ with640 total points. The Blue-birds were followed by run-ner-up Dixie Heights (557),third-place Beechwood (313)and Ryle (279).
One year after settingeight regional records, thearea’s best outdid them-selves with a combined 10 re-gional marks, which isthought to be a record. Cov-Cath was in on four new stan-dards, two by the meet’s out-standing male athlete for thesecond year in a row, seniorBrendan Meyer, who set rec-ords in the 200- and 500-yardfreestyle races.
Meyer broke his own year-old record in the 500 with awining time of 4 minutes,28.39 seconds. He broke for-mer CovCath standout andcurrent Stanford swimmerMax Williamson’s three-year-old record in the 200with a winning time of 1:40.11.“What a great atmosphere,”Meyer said. “It’s going to betough at state, but we have achance.”

FT. MITCHELL - Bray Zim-merman loves a big moment.The Beechwood High Schoolswimmer paced her team at theSeventh Region meet and is oneof nine Tigers who will competeat state.
Zimmerman won the 50-me-ter freestyle and also qualifiedfor state in the 100-meter free-style. She once again deliveredher best performance of the sea-son on the biggest stage to date.
“Bray is a ‘big race’ swim-mer. In my 35-plus years ofswim coaching, I’ve never seena swimmer quite like her,” saidBeechwood coach Chris Koner-man. “Her enthusiasm and opti-mism is contagious to the otherswimmers on our team and herrelay team members.”
Both the 200 and 400 free-style relay teams featuring Zim-merman, Abby Shoyat, MollieBushelman, and Jordan Carmanplaced second in the region andqualified for state. Individually,Shoyat placed third in the 50freestyle, Bushelman placedsecond in the 100-meter breast-stroke, and Carman placed
fourth in the 100 breaststroke.Several Tigers swimmers post-ed lifetime bests at the regionalmeet and will head to the statemeet in Louisville with momen-tum.
Other notable Beechwood
performers at the regional in-cluded Max Shoyat, Abby Mil-ler, Grant Lange, Eli Shoyat, Pat-rick Lester, Xandi Dunn, Ca-mille Laird, Summer Wei, andMorgan Bushelman. Most Ti-gers swimmers do not compete
at the club level in offseasonmonths, something Konermanhopes changes in 2016.
“This weekend’s perfor-mance should provide our re-turning swimmers with momen-tum heading into the offseason,”said Konerman. “We’ve maderemarkable progress onlyswimming during the highschool season which is roughlyfour months. Swimming year-round can only help our swim-mers and make them even morecompetitive. That, coupled withthe performance of the Beech-wood swimmers at Regionalsthis weekend, should make foran even better season nextyear.”
The Tigers placed third in thecombined team standings. Zim-merman and Bushelman earnedAll-Region honors. Konermanhas coached Zimmerman foryears and has always admiredher competitive spirit, whichshould serve her well at thestate meet Feb. 25-27.

“Financially it wouldhave been equal for me towalk-on at Eastern Ken-tucky, Kentucky or Louis-ville, so it really came downto those four,” Slusher said.“What really got me to Mo-rehead was just the fact thatI really felt like the coacheswanted me more there thanat any other school. Thatwas the major factor inchoosing Morehead.
“When I talked to theguys on the team, they saidthe coaches do a great job ofbalancing out a personalrelationship with the play-ers off the field while stillbeing hard on them in prac-tice and games. That’s an-other thing that I was reallyexcited about.”
Slusher is still planningon playing baseball andrunning track this springfor Beechwood. He’s re-ceived interest to play base-ball at the next level, but forright now he’s focused onhis commitment to the Ea-gles on the gridiron.
“I’m definitely thinkingabout football as of rightnow,” Slusher said. “If therewas an opportunity to may-be do both at Morehead,that’s something I’d figureout along the road. I’m look-ing forward to seeing howthis first year of footballgoes.”

In a rare display of balanceand parity in the region, no teamhad a double-digit number ofstate qualifiers out of the 14classes, and seven differentteams had an individual cham-pion. All 10 schools that pro-duced a state qualifier had atleast three of them.
Dixie Heights tied Walton-Verona and Campbell Countywith three individual champi-ons, the most in one tournamentin Colonels history. Winningchampionships were seniorMatthew Munoz at 160, juniorRoy Bowers at 182 and sopho-more Kairus Washington at 220.
Munoz had one of the mostdramatic wins of the 14 regionalfinals, defeating Cody Roland ofScott. Munoz trailed 11-6 enter-ing the third period, but duringthe opening sequence of thethird, Roland left Munoz anopening and the Colonel pinnedthe Eagle.
“He came in with his armstoo wide and I got my hooks un-der him and drove him,” Munozsaid. “It feels really good. It’smy first one. I came in thirdtwice so it feels amazing. Iwouldn’t trade this for any-thing. Dixie’s never had morethan one regional champion inthe same year, now we gotthree.”
Munoz is 41-4 for the season.Bowers defeated Daylan
Bailey of Cooper 7-4 in the finalsat 182. Bowers is 33-11 for theseason.

The new dietaryguidelines were releasedin January and encour-age all of us to makehealthy eating choicesthroughout our lives tominimize our risks ofbecoming overweight orobese or developing achronic disease likeheart disease or diabe-tes. These conditions are
often linked to poor dietsand physical inactivity.
These guidelinesserve as a tool for publichealth professionals andfood service programmanagers to help indi-viduals 2 years old andolder to get on a path tohealthier living. Theyalso serve to guide pol-icy makers. The U.S.
Departments of Agricul-ture and Health andHuman Services worktogether to update andrevise them every fiveyears.
The latest editioncontinues to emphasizethat Americans need toeat more whole fruitsand vegetables. Mostfruits and vegetables are
naturally low in fat,sodium and calories andare full of essential nu-trients. A diet rich infruits and vegetablescan help lower your riskof developing a chronicdisease. A healthy eatingpattern includes a varie-ty of vegetables: darkgreen, red, orange andlegumes, among others.An easy way to movetoward a healthier eat-ing pattern is to eatmore whole fruit. One ofthe best ways to eat ahealthier diet is to focuson making half yourplate fruits and vegeta-bles.
If you made weightloss or improved nutri-tion one of your New
Year’sresolu-tions buthavefallen offthe wag-on, theseguide-linesoffer youa newopportu-nity to
think about ways tojump back on and im-prove your health. Fourout of five Kentuckiansand nine out of 10 Amer-icans do not get theirdaily recommendedserving of fruits andvegetables, so most of ushave room for improve-ment.
Look at how you cur-rently eat and see ifthere are small changesyou can make to betterthe health of everyone inyour family. It may be assimple as limiting yourintake of sugar-sweet-ened beverages orsnacks. You can alsoswitch from bread, cere-als and pastas made ofrefined grains to onesthat are whole grain.Another switch could begoing from 2 percentmilk to 1 percent. Startsmall by making onechange, and it could leadto bigger results.

For Dr. George Chris-tensen III, his work is per-sonal. And mesmerizing.
His passion for theteamwork and the tech-nology that promote bet-ter results for patients isevident. But it was his fa-ther’s battle with heartdisease that set his courseas a cardiothoracic sur-geon.
The opportunity tomake a difference for pa-tients – relying on seam-less coordination at alllevels of care and the lat-est technology – drivesChristensen, one of thenewer members of the St.
ElizabethHeart andVascularInstituteteam.
“My fa-ther wasafflictedwith heartdisease
when I was a much young-er age,” said Christensen,his voice tempered withemotion. “I had to see himgo through the strugglesfor many years, includingopen heart surgery.”
His father, a TV broad-caster, died at age 52.Now, Christensen is see-
ing nearly miraculous re-sults for patients in their80s because of advancesin the field.
February is HeartMonth, designed to drawattention to the diseasewhich is the leading causeof death in the country. St.Elizabeth Healthcare ison a mission to reduceheart-related deaths by 25percent in Northern Ken-tucky in the next decade.
Once Christensen at-tended medical school, itwas clear to him that hewas going to be a surgeon.As he continued his train-ing, he found “it was a
challenging decision atfirst – until I stepped footin my first open-heart sur-gery. It was mesmerizing… and I was really awe-struck with the amount offolks who are in the oper-ating room and how thingsare very orchestrated andteam-oriented to fulfilleach goal in each case,”said Christensen, wholives in Union.
His specialty is dis-eases of the heart, lungsand esophagus encom-passing a wide array ofpathology including in-fections or lesions, bothbenign and malignant. “In
short, I’m a chest sur-geon,” Christensen said.
The challenge is to con-stantly update options forminimally invasive sur-gery to decrease recov-ery time, the possibility ofcomplications and time inthe hospital.
“I think with technol-ogy, much of our ap-proaches have changed.For instance, we’re doingminimally invasive valvesurgery,” said Christen-sen. If you look at heartsurgery historically, heexplained, it’s based onthe same premise of con-necting one vessel to theother to restore function.But increased knowledge,newer skills and the latesttechnology are allowingsurgeons to repair theheart with smaller inci-sions and quicker recov-eries.
“This is all a work inprogress,” he said. “Wehave great surgeons herewho have perfected tradi-tional surgery that hasbeen augmented in vari-ous ways from start to fin-
ish that have allowed pa-tients to get out of the hos-pital as early as four days(after surgery). You lookat 20 years ago when myfather had uncomplicatedopen-heart surgery, his in-patient recovery processwas at least seven, eightdays.”
There is still work to bedone, but, he said “the ulti-mate idea is that we canoffer surgeries for cer-tain conditions that areless invasive, causing lesspain – not having to be inthe hospital as long andhaving better outcomes.”
St. Elizabeth Health-care is challenging thecommunity to make atleast one heart-healthydecision each day andpost it to Facebook, Twit-ter or Instagram with thehashtag #29DaysofHeart.St. Elizabeth will uploadtips to those social mediachannels all month anddonate $1 to the AmericanHeart Association Heart-Chase NKY for every#29DaysOfHeart share upto $5,000.

Question: What kindof winter care do myfruit trees need?
Answer: You can startpruning apple and peartrees in late February,and continue into earlyMarch, if necessary. Waituntil after floweringoccurs before pruningpeach trees, since a highpercentage of flowerbuds may be lost due to alate spring frost.
When pruning, selectwide-angled branches,well-spaced around thetree in whorls. Prune outenough branches in thecenter of the tree so thatadequate sunlight willreach the innermostfruits. Peaches are grownas vase-shaped trees,with no major branchesin the center of the tree.Apples can be grown witha modified central leader(a main center stem go-ing straight up, withwhorls of side branchescoming off it at wideangles).
Remove diseased orcrossing branches, suck-ers arising from the baseand all water sprouts thatare growing straight upfrom the side branches.
When shortening sidebranches, be sure toprune back to a bud thatis pointed in the direction
that youwant thenewbranch togrow thisyear. Nev-er leavebranchstubs. Cuttwigs backto a bud,and cutbranches
back to a side branchwhich is at least one-thirdthe diameter of the oneyou are cutting off, sothat it can support thelarger branch to which itis attached. Do not make“flush cuts,” since theycause a larger, oval cut.The ideal cut is round inshape, not oval, and nolarger than the branchdiameter one inch fromthe trunk.
When making the cut,leave only the “branchcollar” (usually no morethan ¼ to ½ inch) at thebase of the branch whereit flares out to meet thetrunk. Never leavebranch stubs (branchcuts which leave over oneinch of the base of thebranch attached … thesewill die back and causedecay into the center ofthe trunk). Do not apply“tree paint” or “wound
dressing” to cut surfaces,since it harms the treeand prevents wound clo-sure.
Fertilizing of treefruits may be done anytime in February. Fruittree nitrogen applicationsare based on the age ofthe tree and the amountof new growth on thetwig tips (previous year’sgrowth). Apple trees thatare at least four years oldshould have 12-15 inchesof new growth from lastyear at the tip of eachbranch. New apple trees(1-3 years old) may show24-30 inches of new annu-al twig growth. If growthis less than the desiredamount listed above,apply ¼ pound of a high-nitrogen fertilizer (withnumbers similar to 34-0-0) per tree per year ofage. Don’t apply morethan 2-3 pounds of thefertilizer per tree.
A fertilizer test (freethrough your NorthernKentucky ExtensionOffice) will tell youwhether or not you needphosphorus, potassium,lime or sulfur in additionto the nitrogen that isprovided by the 34-0-0type of fertilizer.
Mike Klahr is BooneCounty extension agentfor horticulture.
