FORT THOMAS — The city’sIndependence Day Celebrationgets fired up with a morning pa-rade and Firecracker 5K andends with the bang of RozziFireworks on Saturday, July 4.

After an 8:15 a.m. 5K, thecity’s signature parade at 10:30a.m. leads into the celebration atTower Park from 2:30-11 p.m.featuring five bands includingBlessid Union of Souls, a carshow, cornhole, tennis tourna-ments and carnival rides.

For the first time in years,Rozzi Fireworks will light upthe sky at 10 p.m. said DebbieBuckley, city renaissance man-ager and economic develop-ment director.

“They’re going to be doingsome pretty fancy stuff for us,”Buckley said.

The traditional parade fromHighlands High School to Tow-er Park is another feature at-traction of the day, Buckleysaid.. The Campbell CountyYMCA organizes the 8:15 a.m.Firecracker 5K and the parade.

People line every inch ofsidewalk for a procession last-ing about 2.5 hours.

“It’s absolutely a small townparade on steroids,” Buckleysaid.

Juanita “Judy” Schroder willbe parade grand marshal. Thisyear’s theme is “Fort Thomas:Instilling Family Values.”

Schroder, a resident since1953, is mother to seven chil-dren and an active member ofSt. Thomas Parish. Swimming isher favorite activity of any sea-son, said Schroder, a charter

member of the Fort ThomasSwim Club.

“I think it’s a great city tobring up a family in,” Schrodersaid. “I was shocked and sur-prised when they asked me.”

Schroder has worked at FortThomas Drug Center since1975.

“She’s very sweet, I meanshe’s the first one you see whenwalk in the drug store overthere,” said Linda Slone, a cityrenaissance board member.

Craig Seither was told bySchroder he is the fourth phar-macist and owner Schroder hasworked with.

“I kind of view her as the ma-triarch of Fort Thomas,” Seith-

FORT THOMAS — Chuck Tay-lor served in the Vietnam War,had a Highlands High Schoolclassmate and best friendkilled in action, and was spitupon while in uniform in theU.S.

Welcoming home veteransfrom the Vietnam War and tell-ing residents’ stories includingTaylor’s is why Deanna Bei-neke organized a new museumexhibit.

“These folks, it was a verypolitical war, and things werenot always wonderful forthem,” Beineke said. “I feelstrongly we need to expressour thanks.”

Creation of the new exhibit,opening July 4 and lasting allyear at the Fort Thomas Com-munity and Military Museum,was spurred by Beineke’smembership in the Daughtersof the American Revolution.The DAR is encouraging mem-bers to mark 40 years since theend of the war in their commu-nities, she said.

From tragic to funny sto-ries, different aspects of thewar are told including back-ground information and de-tails about each of the four FortThomas residents to die in thewar, Beineke said.

Anyone who wants to share

their story from Fort Thomascan write in a blank book dur-ing the exhibit or email up to1,000 words about their experi-ences to [email protected], shesaid.

Taylor, 73, a museum volun-teer, served in the U.S. Navyfor four years after graduatingHighlands High School in 1961along with his best friend JoeRoss. Taylor and Ross rantrack and played football to-gether. Ross went on to the U.S.Air Force Academy and wasshot down while piloting an F-4Phantom in Vietnam Aug. 1,

1968, and was later declareddead.

“That upset me, well it upseteverybody in our whole class,because we had a very tightclass,” Taylor said.

Taylor said he still talks toJoe’s younger brother Steve onoccasion about the “good olddays.”

Vietnam was only one ofTaylor’s missions as a mechan-ic and crew member on a Lock-heed Super ConstellationEC121M starting in 1961.

“Before we were inVietnam, we flew off thecoasts of North Korea,China and Russia gather-ing electronic countermeasure information,” he

said.Taylor was in flight

from Singapore to a homebase in Japan when theGulf of Tonkin incident in-volving North Vietnamand the United States hap-pened and the U.S.S. Mad-dox was attacked in 1964by North Vietnamese pa-trol boats.

Mostly, the crew fo-cused on the Cold War, hesaid.

“We had a lot of closecalls,” he said. “When weflew off the coast of Rus-sia the Russian fighterswould come up and get upalongside us being it wasthe Cold War and they heldup a sign that said ‘Hi’ andwe put one up in the win-dow that said “Hi” back.”

“Of course, the Chineseweren’t that friendly. Youhad to be very careful withthem, but you know, wewere off the coast 12

miles.” Coming home, Taylor

said he didn’t experienceanything negative until hewent in uniform with agroup of other troops towatch a University of Cali-fornia Berkeley basket-ball game.

“So, we marched in for-mation and sat in thestands and were applaud-ed and everything,” hesaid. “Then we marchedout and the protesterswere there and we werespit upon.”

Another friend fromFort Thomas dodged thedraft by pouring batteryacid on himself to fake arash, Taylor said.

“That was then, and thisis now, and we’re stillfriends,” Taylor said. “Andwe argue and discuss thewar still.”

Roy Hiser Jr., 74, ofHighland Heights, went

into the U.S. Air Force af-ter graduating Highlandsin 1959. He spent his timeas a cook, retiring as atechnical sergeant in 1982.

From December 1967to December 1968, he wasordered to grab a rifle, butnever had to fire a shot,when his base at Cam-rahnBay was being mortaredduring the Tet Offensivewhen the North Vietnam-ese attacked numerousbases at once.

“Most of the time wefed hospital patients inwards that looked likeQuonset huts,” Hiser said.

Hiser said he cameback to the U.S. in hisdress blue uniformthrough San Francisco. Hedidn’t experience any out-ward negativity.

“I wasn’t bothered oranything but it wasn’t likea big parade either,” Hisersaid. “It was quiet.”

“Ten of the 11 vehicleswere spray-painted fromfront to back,” Daly said.

Police caught and re-leased three juveniles totheir parents, he said.

Images painted ontocars were “pornographicin nature,” Lt. Rich Whit-ford said in an email.

There were no specifictargets and it appears tobe random acts by juve-niles, Whitford said.

All three juvenileswere charged with first-degree criminal mischief,a felony, Whitford said.

What is it about vintagerecipes that intrigues meso? I guess it’s about thehistory, a time when recipesharing was done by pass-ing written or typed recipesby hand, sometimes whenfolks gathered together for

a morningcoffee breakat someone’shome.

I was gift-ed with such awonderful lotof recipesfrom DonnaWright, aClermontCounty read-er who want-

ed me to have her Mom andGrandma’s recipes. Includ-ed with vintage cookbookswas a wooden box with thehandwritten and typed reci-pes, often with notes on therecipes by the cook. When Ilooked through the box, Iwas surprised at the num-ber of cakes, both for break-fast, brunch and dessert. Welike a simple cinnamoncoffee cake, one that can bemade with the little onesand mixed by hand.

The recipe I’m sharingtoday from that wooden boxis just such a recipe. It’scalled quick coffee cake butI gave it an additional name.This coffee cake is reallyeasy to make and not toosweet or gooey. Perfect witha morning cup of tea!

This heirloom coffee cake isn’t fancy

Quick coffee cake aka Not a fancy coffee cake

How much is a heaping tablespoon? The buttershould mound up on the spoon. I adapted the recipeonly slightly. I made this by hand with a whisk.

1 heaping tablespoon butter1/2 cup sugar1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325. Melt butter. Beat egg and sugar together. Beat

in butter. Add milk and vanilla and beat hard. Adddry ingredients, which you have mixed together. (Ijust whisked them together).

Blend but don’t overbeat. Pour into greased

and floured pan. (I used spray).

Then mix together:

3 tablespoons sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

The recipe said to sprinkle this on top which I did.Next time I’ll swirl it into the batter so that if I wouldchoose to glaze it, the glaze won’t pull the topping up.

Bake 30 minutes or so just until toothpick insertedin center comes out clean. Don’t overbake or cake willbe dry.

Glaze (optional)I just made a confectioners sugar glaze with a cup

of confectioners sugar and enough water to make aglaze.

Start with 3 tablespoons water.

Refrigerator or freezerpickles

No, I didn’t make a mistakein the title. These pickles do go inthe freezer and yes, they areamazingly crisp after thawing.

My sister, Sonia, loves hergarden and each year makesthese awesome pickles.

For Judy N., who wantedthe recipe and also wanted toknow if she could add some freshdill since her dill will be readywhen her pickling cucumbers are.The answer is yes. I think it wouldgive the pickles another elementof flavor and, after all, dill is oneof the ingredients in picklingspice.

4 cups thinly slicedcucumbers, unpeeled

1 medium onion, sliced thin2 tablespoons saltUp to 1-1/2 cups sugar – I use

less but just go to taste1/2 cup vinegar1-1/2 teaspoons pickling spice1 red bell pepper, diced

(optional)1 clove garlic, smashed

(optional)

Arrange cucumbers andonions in large bowl. Sprinklewith salt and mix. Pour enoughwater over to just cover them. Stiragain. Soak at room temperaturefor 2 hours. Drain, but don’t rinse.Meanwhile, mix sugar, vinegarand pickling spice in small sauce-pan.

Bring to a simmer and cookuntil sugar dissolves. Let coolwhile pickles are soaking. Afterpickles have been drained, addbell pepper, then pour picklingbrine over them. Mix. Put intocontainers.

Let marinate overnight inrefrigerator before eating. Keepsat least three weeks in refriger-ator, or up to six months in freez-er.

JUNE 25, 2015 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • A9

Bicyclists are required tocomply with all the regulartraffic regulations that motorvehicles are required to com-ply with, such as stop signs,red lights, etc. For example, ifa car has the green light toturn onto a road such as U.S.27, and a bicyclist is proceed-ing on a sidewalk along U.S. 27,the bicyclist is required to stopand permit the car with thegreen light to proceed onto thehighway.

Under Kentucky law, bicy-clists as well as drivers of carsare required to give varioussignals while on public streets.For a left turn signal, the handand arm of the bike ridershould be extended horizon-

tally from theleft side of thebike. For aright turnsignal, a bicy-clist can signalby extendinghis right armhorizontally tothe right or byextending hisleft arm hori-zontally to theleft with the

hand and arm extended up-ward from the elbow. Bicy-clists are even required to givestop signals by extending ei-ther arm horizontally with thehand and arm extended down-ward from the elbow to in-

dicate a stop or decrease inspeed. Any signals from abicyclist should be given in-termittently for the last 100feet traveled by the bike be-fore the turn or stop. However,bicyclists are not required tosignal when doing so couldendanger safe operation oftheir bike.

By administrative regula-tion in Kentucky, a bicycle,when riding at night (or indark conditions) is required tohave at least one light in frontof the bike which will revealclearly substantial objects atleast 50 feet ahead and also arerequired to have one red lightor one red reflector displayedon the rear of the bicycle.

Although it is not requiredunder Kentucky law, bicyclistsshould wear a helmet. TheKentucky Department ofTransportation reports thathelmets protect against injuryin eight8 out of 10 crashesinvolving head bumps.

To the surprise of many,Kentucky also has a law pro-hibiting what we call BUI’s –Bicycling Under the Influence.The law provides that no per-son under the influence ofintoxicating beverages whichmay impair one’s driving abil-ity shall operate a vehicle thatis not a motor vehicle any-where in this state. A bicycle isconsidered a vehicle underKentucky law if it is used for

the transportation of personsor property over or upon thepublic highways. The penaltyfor operating a bicycle on ahighway while under the influ-ence is a fine of not less than$20 nor more than $100 pluscourt costs.

I hope this information isinteresting and helpful. If youhave any topics you would liketo have covered in this column,please contact my office bye-mail at [email protected], by phone at491-7700 or by regular mailaddressed to 319 York St., New-port, KY 41071.

Last week, there was a ma-jor announcement regardingfunding for heroin-relatedprograms by Governor Be-shear. The announcement coin-cided with the Interim JointCommittee on Judiciary, dur-

ing whichJustice Cab-inet SecretaryMichaelBrown testi-fied how the$10 millionwould be dis-tributed.

During themeeting, Iraised thepoint thatNorthern Ken-tucky was

Football players tackleroad trash

I want to let you know aboutour experience with the “TrashFor Cash” Program. The New-port Central Catholic FootballTeam was responsible forcleaning up roughly 10 miles ofroadway, consisting of MoockRoad and Three Mile Road, aswell as a small section of Route9 between the two roads.

We had 27 players and ninecoaches participate in thecleanup. With that many peo-ple the work went rathersmoothly. We divided the roadsup into one- to two-mile sec-tions with five or six players

and one or two for each sec-tion.

Our players were amazedwith how many cigarette buttspeople discard out their win-dows. It was the most frequenttype of litter we found by far.We also found 5-gallon buckets,fast food garbage, and a coupleof hypodermic needles. Theamount of trash we picked upsurprised our workers.

We hope to be able to con-tinue participating in thisworthwhile program in thefuture, and feel it is a realcommunity asset.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Last week’s questionWhat is your favorite sum-

mer vacation story (somethingthat you personally experi-enced)?

“One of my favorite sum-mer vacations was spentworking to help poor peopleback in the hollers of Appa-lachia working very hard andsweating my behind off with agroup of youth and adultsfrom our church. It was dusty,dirty, hot, sticky, buggy, spi-dery, yucky and hard workbut it was one of the morerewarding times of my lifeseeing a bunch of kids (in-

cluding a couple of girly girls)never complain doing it, andmore importantly seeing thesheer gratitude from the

home owners for what we haddone for them. It was lifelifting.”

M.J.F.

“Many years ago my em-ployer needed me to assist aclient in Florida. As I could flyor drive, I drove and took myfamily. Needless to say thisprovided a ‘free’ vacation forus. As luck would have it Iwas not that busy workingmost days and could also en-joy the stay. Vacations aregreat, but free vacations areeven better. Go figure!”

Third baseman Whitney Quil-len has been a bedrock for theprogram over the past sixyears.

“You don’t replace a kid likeWhitney. She is the kind of kidyou wish you had 15 of,” saidCoffey. “(She is) a leader andcompetitor that you want ev-ery athlete to mimic: tough,gritty and the passion to dowhatever it takes to come outon top.”

“The boys made some im-provements, and we set a schoolrecord at state,” said Dave Ued-ing, in his 45th year as Thor-oughbreds coach. “The girls didreally well at the regional and atstate, so I’d say it was a prettygood year.”

The NewCath girls, coachedby Dave Meyers, were runners-up for the fourth year in a row atthe regional meet at VeronaSports Complex. They finishedthird at the state meet at theUniversity of Kentucky Out-

door Track Facility, their ninthstraight finish in the top three.The girls were state runners-upthe previous three years. Priorto that, they were regional andstate champs three straightyears.

The boys improved theirplacing both in the region and atstate. They took fourth at the re-gional, up two spots from lastyear’s sixth, with an improve-ment of 23 points. They finishedtied for 12th at state, up a notchfrom 13th, with a five-point im-provement.

The girls buy in andthey bust their tails,” saidCoffey. “To be a winner,you must put your time inbehind closed doorswhere no one is watching.These girls have reapedthe benefits of their atten-tion to detail in these fallsessions and the sweatthey put in when a lot ofteams are not.”

The 2016 squad will beled by seniors Haley Cof-fey, Shelby Graybill,Brennah Dutcher, andBailey Spencer. Graybill

Shopping at your localfarmer’s market not onlyprovides you access tofresh, high-quality pro-duce, but it also supportsour local farmers andsmall businesses. Re-

memberto con-tact us atthe Ken-ton Coun-ty Exten-sionOffice(859-356-3155) ifyou needa list offarmersmarkets.

Consider the followingtips to maximize yourtrip to the farmer’s mar-ket:

» Shop early: You willhave the best selection ofitems early in the day.Farmers markets typical-ly open very early in themorning; consider mak-ing it your first errand ofthe day or a stop on yourway to work.

Set a shopping limitand shop with cash. Somevendors may acceptchecks or credit, butothers will not. Shoppingwith cash helps you staywithin your budget.Bring small bills, if pos-sible, so that makingchange is easier.

» Make a list: Shop-ping with a list will helpyou avoid impulse buy-ing. Your farmer’s mar-ket list may need to be alittle more flexible thanyour normal grocerystore list. You might con-sider withholding a smallamount of your shoppingbudget, such as $5, to trysomething new or differ-

ent that catches your eye.» Carry a pen and

paper: As you make yourrounds,write down itemsthat are not part of yourshopping list, but that youmight want to try in thefuture. Consider incorpo-rating these items intoyour meal plan for thenext week.

» Only buy what youneed: One of the greatthings about the farmer’smarket is access to freshfruits and vegetables. Itcan be tempting to stockup; however, the shelf lifeon some items may be

less than what you areused to at the grocerystore.

Try to buy in smallquantities that you willuse within the next fewdays. Otherwise, you willneed to freeze or can theitems to prevent themfrom going to waste.Most markets are openmultiple days per week,so you might considerbuying less at a time andshopping more often.

» Shop for producethat is in season: Itemswill be least expensivewhen they are most plen-

tiful. For example, toma-toes may be expensive inJune, but by mid-July theprices will be adjusteddue to large supply.

» Use shopping strat-egies to get the bestprice: Your selection willbe best early in the day;however, you are mostlikely to get the bestprice late in the day (typi-cally 30 minutes beforeclose). Normally, vendorswill be willing to sellremaining items at areduced price, instead ofhauling it home.

Buy in bulk if you areinterested in canning orfreezing items. Do not beafraid to ask for a bulkdiscount.

If you know that youwould like a large quanti-ty of a specific item,arrange the purchasewith the vendor ahead of

time. This ensures thatyou get the quantityneeded and the vendorhas enough for othercustomers.

Most vendors willhave “seconds,” whichare not displayed. Theseare items that may beoverripe, blemished, ormisshaped. If seconds arenot on display, ask the ven-dor if any are available.Seconds may be discount-ed as much as 50 percent.

The 2015 campaign isthe seventh such appeal.Over the years, thousandsof dollars have beenraised to help fund tuition

for families who cannotafford private education.Tuition receipts coveronly 40 percent of thecost, meaning tuition as-sistance is needed in theamount of more than $2million per year.

“With each year theneed for tuition assis-tance renews,” said BethRuehlmann, director ofdevelopment for the dio-

cesan Department ofCatholic Schools. “This iswhy our annual appeal isso important. With strongleadership, our appealshave grown significantlyin recent years. The grow-ing momentum for our ap-peal has made a signifi-cant difference in ourability to provide a Catho-lic education to disadvan-taged students.”

This year, more than750 donors have given.“While we are on track tohave another record-breaking year totalingaround $700,000, we willonly be able to fund a por-tion of the more than $2million needed for tuitionassistance, so every dol-lar raised makes a differ-ence,” Ruehlmann said.

Ralph Drees is thisyear’s honorary chair. Mr.and Mrs. Drees made a

significant pledge toACUE in last year’s ap-peal.

The appeal kicked offin October with a $25,000challenge grant from Cor-porex and The ButlerFoundation.

MARRIAGE LICENSES

FLORENCE — With acrochet hook and a ball ofyarn, Donna Logan andher friends are fightingcancer.

The elementary schoolteacher started NorthernKentucky’s first chapterof Crochet for Cancer, aninternational Christianvolunteer-based nonprofitthat donates handmadecaps to cancer centers forpatients coping with hairloss. Logan’s group is oneof nearly 70 chaptersthroughout 32 states, Can-ada and Australia.

Since January, Loganhas worked with DebbieSchroeder and DonnaLohr to donate 80 hats, 35prayer cloths and fourprayer shawls to the St.Elizabeth Breast Center inEdgewood.

Logan’s group, named

My Sister’s Gifts, fills bas-kets with crocheted cre-ations to be picked up forfree at the hospital. Shesaid she named the groupin memory of the two sis-ters she lost at early ages,one of whom died as a re-sult of breast cancer. Shealso started a Facebookpage for more informa-tion, and she can bereached by email at [email protected] orcalling 859-653-6035.

“I know my sisterswould be helping me withthis cause. That’s why Inamed the chapter My Sis-ters’ Gifts,” she said. “Thedonations are both for mysisters and from my sis-ters.”

When Logan was 8, hergrandmother taught her tocrochet. She spent manysnow days at home makingthings from yarn.

“I made scarves for allmy nieces last year. I real-

ized there were so manythings we could crochet todonate,” she said.

“We are only currentlyserving one cancer center,but the need is muchgreater. With more volun-teers and donations, we

can impact so many morepatients battling cancer.People of all ages are inneed of love, kindness andsupport as they wage thefight of their lives.”

Lohr said she just real-ly likes to crochet.

“Crocheting is a stressreliever for me. I know Ican give it to someone,”she said. “I’d much rathersit and crochet than do al-most anything. If I can puta smile on someone’s facebecause I did this, that’sgreat.”

Logan found that manypeople donate to cancerresearch, but often over-look the patients who arebattling cancer and recov-ering from chemotherapy.She said making hats andbrightening the lives ofpeople who are sufferingfrom cancer is such asmall thing to do, but theresults have made a bigimpact on the patients.

It's often very cold in-side a treatment room, anda bald head often is seennegatively as a sign ofsickness. The caps pro-vide warmth, dignity and asense of style.

They’re also making

another personal item,knitted and stuffed adjust-able bra inserts.

“The hospital invitedme to see if we could makethese ‘knitted knockers,’”Logan said. “I’ve heard ofpeople who have prosthet-ics but don’t wear them be-cause they’re uncomfort-able.”

The knitted versionsare lighter, washable, cool-er and can be more com-fortable against sensitiveskin.

“We’re mastering themammary,” said Schroe-der. “This is something Ican do for a little while ev-ery day, and I think thatwhen you do somethingwith love, people can tell.”

Logan hopes they’ll getmore volunteers and dona-tions. They accept yarn,gift cards to local craftstores, quart- or two-gal-lon zip-top storage bags.

Question: Why are theleaves of my squash, cu-cumbers, lilacs and rosesturning grayish-white incolor? It’s like they havewhite dust on them.

Answer: Weather con-ditions this year havebeen perfect for the pow-dery mildew fungus,which attacks all theplants you mentioned, aswell as phlox, iduous mag-nolias, melons, pumpkins,gourds, apples, crabap-ples, flowering dogwoods,and various annual andperennial flowers. It caneven get on the lawn.

Powdery mildew onvegetables such as the cu-curbits (melons, pump-kins, squash, cucumbers,

etc) willcausewhite pow-derygrowth onleaves, yel-lowing andblightingof foliage.Use resis-tant varie-ties whenavailable.

Avoid night watering.Spray with garden fungi-cides containing Chlo-rothalonil, copper fungi-cides, sulfur spray or dustat first signs of diseaseand at weekly intervals.Guard against copper orsulfur phytotoxicity un-der certain weather con-

ditions (see label).Try to avoid powdery

mildew on phlox and otherflowers by followingthese steps: Avoid crowd-ing plants. Grow plants ina sunny location; pruneout nearby shading vege-tation. Avoid wetting fo-liage, especially in theevening. Sprays of fungi-cides will be helpful ifthey contain one or moreof the following active in-gredients dodemorph, fe-narimol, thiophanate-methyl, triadimefon, wet-table sulfur, ziram, ormancozeb + thiophanate-methyl. Read the label forlists of specific plants al-lowed for each fungicide.

In order to help prevent

powdery mildew on land-scape trees and shrubs,provide the growing sitewith good air movementand sunlight penetrationby pruning and properlyspacing plants. Avoidnight watering. Try to fin-ish your pruning by thefirst week of July.

At the first sign of thedisease, apply fungicidescontaining one or more ofthe following “active in-gredients” (listed in smallprint on the label) at regu-lar intervals… azoxystro-bin (Heritage), fenarimol(Vintage or Rubigan),mancozeb (Dithane M-45,

or Mancozeb Protect T/O)+ thiophanate-methyl (Zy-ban or AllBan or Cleary’s3336 or Topsin M), my-clobutanil (Eagle), propi-conazole (Alamo, Banner,or Immune), sulfur (Sul-fur Dust, Thiolux, or Liq-uid Lime-sulfur), triadi-mefon (Bayleton orStrike), trifloxystrobin(Compass), triflumizole(Terraguard), or Ziram.Check fungicide labels forspecific instructions andprecautions (i.e., don’t usesulfur on Viburnums or attemperatures above 90 de-grees F).
