In Boone County 500 childrenhave been victims of abuse or ne-glect in 2012, according to BooneCounty CASA executive directorColleen Bohman.
That is a 28 percent increaseover 2011, when 356 cases werereported.
Some of these children wereremoved from their homes andplacedwithrelativesor in thefos-ter care system, according toBohman. All of the children areunder the jurisdiction of theBoone County Family Court.
Boone County CASA, whichstands for court appointed spe-cial advocates, trains communityvolunteers to advocate for the
best interest of abused or ne-glected children in family court.
CASA has 38 volunteers whoundergo30hoursof training,plusfour hours of court observation.
“They’re people who are pas-sionate about kids and want to dosomething for the community,”Bohman said.
But 15-20 more CASA volun-teers are needed, she said.
“I have about 20 children thataresittingwaitingforavolunteerso we definitely need volun-
teers,” Bohman said.Boone County CASA is also
asking the community to supportits annual appeal, which has a
goal of $10,000.Family Court Judge Linda
Bramlage said CASA volunteershelp her make determinationsabout what’s best for children in-volved in abuse or neglect cases.
It helps to have “another set ofeyes for the children in the court-room,” she said.

FLORENCE — Traffic confu-sion is coming to a close on U.S.42.
The construction project atthe intersection of U.S. 42 andPleasant Valley Road, which re-cently has required regular laneshifts, is wrapping up.
“Our contractor is aiming tohave all work completed by (Fri-day, Dec. 7), but based on sched-ules, weather and contingencies,Iwould say that laneclosures andshifting is possible on U.S. 42
through Friday, Dec. 14,” saidNancy Wood, public informationoffice for the Kentucky Trans-portation Cabinet.
As the lanesopenup in their fi-nal positions and constructioncrews leave the area, driversshould notice a number ofchanges near the intersection,Wood said.
“Motorists will notice thatseveral new raised concrete me-dians have been installed as partof this project in an effort to bet-ter control the flow of traffic andimprove safety throughout thecorridor. Notable among these isthe island on Old Toll Road pre-venting left turns on and off ofthat route,” she said.
The project is rapidly ap-
proaching a level of completionwhere drivers likely won’t noticethe remaining work, Wood said.
“(There’s still) final striping,raisedpavementmarker installa-tion, a few sidewalk ramps andsome miscellaneous items thatshould haveminor to no effect ontraffic,” she said.
Theproject completion comesshortly after another section ofroad in the areawas approved forreconstruction.
A little over $22 million wasawarded for construction onCamp Ernst Road between Rog-ers Lane and Ky. 18, Wood said.
No timetable has been set forthe project yet, she said.

Holiday shopping season isupon us, and there are a fewstepsyoucan take tokeepyour-self safeand thievesawayfromgifts you’re buying.
“It’s so strange – at whatshould be a happy time of year,this is the time to ramp up yourself defense,” said Capt. LinnyCloyd of the Florence PoliceDepartment.
A large share of holidayshopping is done in retail loca-tions, and shoppers have a fewways of keeping from becom-ing a target.
“Don’t broadcast what youhave in your vehicle,” Cloydsaid.
Leaving a new laptop in thebackseat or a new TV in thehatch of anSUV is just showingpotential thieves that the vehi-clehas thekindof items they’relooking for, he said.
Being aware of what’saround you is a key to stayingprotected, Cloyd said.
“When you get out of the caryou should have your handsfree and your mind free so youcan lookaround to seeyour sur-roundings,” said Florence in-surance agent John Saalfeld.
Saalfeld’s noticed a tenden-cy for people to look down atthe cellphone while walking,but that’s not a good idea.
“You’re not really aware ofwhat’s goingonaroundyou,”hesaid.
Women should make sure tokeep purses close to your body,preferably strapped acrossyour chest so it’s harder for athief to grab it, he said.
“You want to know whereyou’re parked when you leavethe store,” Saalfeld said.“You’re a target if you’re wan-dering around the parking lot.”
Mothers with kids or olderpeople should probably shopduring the day, if possible, hesaid.
A lot of holiday shopping isdone online, and because giftsare often left at doorsteps,

IS THERE A CATCH?The qualifying vehicle must be purchased and placed into service between January 1, 2012 andDecember 31, 2012. It must be used at least 50% for business, based on mileage, in the first year itis placed in service. So if you choose to use it for both personal and business use, the cost eligible fordeduction would be the percentage used for business.
WHAT’S THE URGENCY?For 2013, all indications are that the Section 179 deduction limitation will be reduced to only $25,000and any bonus depreciation deduction will be eliminated. So the December 31, 2012, deadline isapproaching quickly.

shoppers need to planahead, Cloyd said.
“Make sure you have
somebody trusted goingby your home to pick uppackages,” he said.
Deal seekers are quickto turn to Craigslist to geta gift for a great price, butif something sounds toogood tobe true, it probablyis, Cloyd said.
“Craigslist has becomea great tool for drawingpeople in,” he said.
All Craigslist transac-tions should be done in asafe place and no oneshould ever go to a meet-ing location alone, Cloydsaid.
“It’s always better to
have more defense withyou,” he said.
Regardless of how youplan to get your gifts thisyear, Cloyd advises keep-ing your cellphonecharged.
“The time you needhelp the most should notbe the time your cellphoneis dying,” Cloyd said.
Finally, Cloyd advisesanyone who is feeling ap-prehensive about a situa-tion to get help.
“If it looks suspicious,give us a call,” he said.

cial advocates in GallatinCounty, which is also inher jurisdiction, and “it’sa huge difference.”
In Boone County CASAvolunteers go to the fam-ilies’ homes and reportback to the court. “Some-times the reports are notthe same as the (Cabinetfor Health and FamilyServices) reports. I haveto listen to (both) andmake a determinationbased on that,” Bramlagesaid.
CASA volunteers arevery dedicated and havemore time to spend withthe family than the state’sprotective services em-ployees. “They might beinclined to see things,”Bramlage said.
With the volunteer’stime and ties to the com-munity, they can come upwith solutions that helpchildren stay in the homeand keep families togeth-er.
In one case of an ex-tremely dirty house,Bramlage said childrenwere almost removedfrom the home. Themoth-er just couldn’t keep thehouse clean.
But CASA stepped in tofind churches to help outand got volunteers topaint the house and cleanthe carpet.
“The kids were able tostay in the house,” Bram-lage said.
According to Bohman,“We don’t remove kids be-cause of poverty but inone situation we had afamily that was homelessbasically and the kids hadto be removed.”
Increasing drug use inBoone County, especiallywith the rise of heroin,also affects children.Bohman estimated that innine of 10 cases CASA vol-unteers are involved in,there is some relationshipto drugs.
Some of CASA’s fund-ing is also provided byBoone County FiscalCourt and grants. It alsobenefits from a golf out-ing and Charity Night atthe Tables at TurfwayPark.

TheFriendlyMarket ofNorthernKentucky took amajor step forward with agroundbreaking in south-ern Boone County on Nov.27.
A group that includeddeveloper Jack Berber-ich, State Rep. Sal Santo-ro, R-Florence, and BooneCounty Judge-executiveGary Moore was on handfor the ceremonial shovel-ing of dirt at the site of thenew public market nearSam Neace Drive.
“The thing that I’mmost excited about is thata lot of you folks are goingto be here as a continuingpart of this activity,” Ber-berich said. “When I lookat the list of people partic-ipating in the market, Idon’t think there is anyplace that could have beenas lucky as we are. What Isee here is a combinationof the people who will beselling the Kentuckyproducts as well as thepeople who will be usingthose.”
A Taste of Belgium res-taurant owned by Jean-François Flechet, for ex-ample, plans to incorpo-rate many locally grownproducts on its menu.
The 10,000-square-footindoor market house willinclude a dozen mer-chants and a KentuckyProud General Store fea-turing products from theBluegrass State.
A 3,000-square-foot ex-terior farmers marketwill feature produce andother items from localmerchants.
The market will beopen year round.
Berberich said he hascommitments for morethan 90 percent of the in-terior space and expectsto have it fully occupiedwhen the market opens inthe spring.
SteveBrooks ofBrooksMeats in Walton was oneof the first merchants tocommit to an interiorspace.
“We saw this as a greatopportunity, and North-ern Kentucky reallyneeds this,” Brooks said.“The Kentucky Proudproducts and local meatsare something we alreadydo at our place in Walton,so it’s a great fit for us.”
There will also be inte-rior space dedicated toKentucky wines, bour-bons and microbrewedbeers.
Themarket has been inthe planning stages forabout three years and wasborn through conversa-tions Berberich had withDennis Walter of Stone-Brook Winery about theincreased popularity ofwine-making inKentucky.
“We talked about ourdistribution and market-ing, and he askedmehow Iwould feel about having alocation off Interstate75,” Walter said.
“I told him I would loveit, but I couldn’t afford it,and we started talkingabout this. The idea waskind of born right there inour winery, so I’m glad tosee it come to fruition, and
I’m glad to be a part of it.”There are 65 wineries
in Kentucky, including 10located in Northern Ken-tucky, and Berberichwould like to see all ormost of them representedat the market.
The Boone County Fis-cal Court recently ap-proved a zone change andestablished a tax incre-ment financing district tohelp Berberich securefunding for the $1.5 mil-lion project.
“A project of this sizenormally wouldn’t getthat kind of attention,”Moore said. “Because ofthe uniqueness of whatthe Friendly Marketbrings with supportingourKentucky Proud prod-ucts and our Kentucky ag-riculture, we feel that jus-tifies the need for doingwhat we can as a commu-nity to try to make thiswork. I think it’s going tobe a hit.”
Tax increment financ-ing, or TIF, uses anticipat-ed future gains in taxes tosupport current improve-ments that are expected togenerate the increasedrevenue.
The county has agreedto pledge 100 percent ofthe incremental revenuefrom real ad valorem tax-
es and 50 percent of occu-pational license taxesgenerated for 30 years tothe developer.
The full amount of thebase revenue, the amountof taxes before the im-provements, will continueto go to the county. Therewill also be a 2 percentwage assessment on any
new jobs created, ofwhich the county will re-turn 1.2 percent to the de-veloper.
Themarket is expectedto be finished in earlyspring, and a soft openingis planned for March. Theofficial grand opening isscheduled for the secondweekend in May.

FLORENCE — Students arebuilding towers and criticalthinking skills.
Erpenbeck Elementary com-pleted its first run of the STEAMLab extension period.
Combining science, technol-ogy, engineering, art and math,the STEAM Lab is designed togive students a practical under-standing of the five disciplineswhile helping them develop criti-cal thinking skills.
The first run of the STEAM
Lab was done with fifth-graders.“They were asked to build the
Leaning Tower of Pasta,” saidfifth-grade teacher Colleen War-
man.Students used engineering
skills to determine tension, loadand compression as they con-structed towers with dry pastaand marshmallows.
Getting the towers togetherrequired plenty of research, saidinstructional coach Kim Thom-som.
“They had to do a lot of read-ing,” Thomsom said.
As the project progressed,students were really into theirtowers, she said.
“The students were so en-gaged,” Thomsom said.
By the end of construction,some towers could stand on theirown, while others couldn’t. Thekey, however, was getting stu-dents to reflect on what they didso they could understand whytheir tower stood or fell so theycould learn from the experience,Thomsom said.
This kind of thinking is impor-tant as Kentucky moves towardits next generation science stan-dards that focuses more on criti-cal thinking, connecting ina teamand reflecting on results, shesaid.
“It’s not about the sit and getanymore,” Thomson said.
Erpenbeck is putting such a
large emphasis on the STEAMskills that the lab is being sched-uled inwith the extension period,which has been traditionally re-served for boosting reading andmath comprehension.
“Ourplan is thateverystudentat Erpenbeck get a rotation,”Thomsom said.
Of course, word spreadingaround the school about buildingpasta towers is getting studentsexcited about their turn in theSTEAM Lab, and Warman has aperfect followup project inmind,she said.
“We’ve already got the nextrotation planned; we’re buildingroller coasters,” she said.

Coaches often profess a lovefor experienced players. Trans-lation: They want seniors on theroster.
Thanks to Kentucky’s ruleallowing middle school playersto compete on the varsity level,Ryle High School head coachPatti Oliverio has more than theusual level of experience on hersquad in the form of seniorsDawn Johnson and McKellOliverio, her daughter.
“It’s nice, really nice, to haveplayers like that,” Coach Oli-verio said. “McKell is the acety-lene torch and Dawn is like thelittle spark. They make ourteam go.”
The lone returning startersfrom last season torched oppo-nents in the early going. John-son averaged six steals and six
assists in blowout wins againstBourbon County and CincinnatiColerain to open the season. Atthe same time Oliverio shot 62percent from the floor and 90percent from the free- throwline.
“This is a group of girls whoreally loves to play,” CoachOliverio said. “So far they havegreat balance - nobody hastaken more than 10 shots in agame – which gives other de-fenses a lot to handle. Everyonecan step up and make a shot.”

Point guard Johnsoncould end her career asthe second-leading scor-er in Ryle history behindher friend and currentXavier University fresh-man Jenna Crittendon.On the other side of theball, she is only 30 steals
from becoming the ca-reer leader in that cate-gory.
“She has the completegame,” Coach Oliveriosaid. “She’s a great de-fender and she’s so fastand so strong with theball. She’s worked reallyhard on her outside gamecoming into this year andthat’s made her very dif-ficult to defend.”
Said Johnson: “My de-fense allows me to get theball in the open floor.Most people can’t reallyhandle the ball underpressure; they kind of
freak out and try to getrid of it. I’m alwaysaround the ball and I get alot of run outs.”
McKell Oliverio playsthe wing and likes to driftinto the corners for openshots on kick-out passesfrom the post. She hoverson the verge of becomingthe fifth Ryle player inthe last four seasons tojoin the 1,000-point club.
“I wouldn’t say it was agoal of mine, but it wouldbe nice,” she said. “I’mmore worried about uswinning, about us gettingbetter from now until the
end of the season.“For softball we’ve
made it to state everyyear since I was a fresh-man. I really want to getthere in basketball. Welost a lot of starters fromlast year and this is atough region, so I don’tthink people are expect-ing us to be that good, butwe’ve got that underdogmotivation.”
Johnson agreed.“We’re playing well to-gether. We have reallygood chemistry and a lotof people are going to besurprised by us.”

The river towns of BelleviewandMcVille, located side by sidein the Belleview Bottoms, wereborn three-quarters of a centuryapart.
Belleview was platted in 1815by Colonel EdwardMeeks, whochristened it Mount Vernon. An
1816 issue of theWestern Spy,published inCincinnati,described thetown as “locat-ed in the midst
of a high fertile bottom andinhabitants wealthy and industri-ous with their surplus productssuch as wheat, flour, tobacco,cheese and butter sold.” Al-though the town was officiallynamed Grant in 1869 and mailwas sent to the Grant Post Of-fice, the name “Belleview”stuck.
Like Petersburg and BigBone, Belleview was a steam-boat town built on shipbuildingand river trade. By the 1860s thetown had two tobacco ware-
houses, a hotel and severalstores. One of the major enter-prises was a basket factory,which used riverfront willows.
Two churches served thefaithful: Baptist and Church ofChrist. In 1878 JamesMcIntyrebuilt a combination residenceand post office for Jonas Clore,inscribing his name and the dateon a closet door. During the1900s a graded school and a bankopened their doors.
The town was served by theBurlington-Belleview Turnpike(present Ky. 18), which led to thecounty seat and nearbyMiddleCreek. By 1883 Belleview had100 residents.
Following the decline of rivertraffic in the late 19th century,the commercial life of Belleviewfaded. During the 1937 OhioRiver flood, the town and muchof the surrounding farmlandwere inundated. Despite chang-ing currents, Belleview remainsone of the best-preserved townsin the county: its houses,churches and commercial build-
ings still retain the flavor of a19th century river community.
Just south of Belleview isMcVille, founded by Green IsaacMcMullen in 1881. A man ofvaried interests, he was a wharf-master, tobacco dealer and con-tractor as well as a dealer inpaint and varnish.
Overshadowed by its larger
neighbor, McVille remained asmall community whose life wascentered on the river. Severalsteamboats were built there, andit boasted a river landing and aferry. As of 1883 it included foursquares bisected by alleys.
In the 1910s the Louisvilleoffice of the Army Corps ofEngineers began construction ofa series of small, low-level, navi-gation dams along the Ohio. Aspart of this effort, Lock & Dam38 was built in McVille begin-ning in 1926. Boone County resi-dents welcomed the constructionjobs although the dam also flood-ed some farmland and a smallisland used for picnics andcamping.
In addition to the dam itself,the complex included four bun-galow dwellings for workers, alock house, storage buildingsand a water tank. The dam sitesoon became a popular gather-ing place for local residents, wholiked to sit on benches, enjoy thecool river breezes and watchpleasure boats “locking through”
the dam.During the 1960s the small
dams of the 1910s and ’20s werereplaced by larger and moresophisticated structures. Whenthe high-level Markland Damwas finished in 1962, Lock andDam 38 was blown up; only aconcrete walkway and smalljetty nowmark its place. Thedam buildings were turned into aboys’ home and later into a wom-en’s prison and halfway houses.Dam construction also raised theriver level from a pool of 16 to 26feet, leaving the Front Streets ofBelleview andMcVille underwa-ter. TodayMcVille is a smallrural community much like itsolder neighbor, Belleview.

Looking to lower yourmonthly payments? Are youlooking to consolidate debt?
In today’s recovering econo-my, these questions are top ofmind for many borrowers.Millions of Americans are “un-derwater” or faced with thechallenge of owing more on
their mort-gages thantheir homesmay be worthand are strug-gling to makemonthly pay-ments. Withextended gov-ernment pro-grams andcurrently lowmortgagerates, refi-
nancing may be a simple andbeneficial option to help youand your family save moneyand stay in your home.
In the simplest terms, refi-nancing your home mortgageallows you to apply for a newterm and interest rate to helpyou pay off an existing loan.
By taking advantage of alower interest rate, you may beable to reduce your monthlypayments and lower your over-all mortgage costs.
This can be especially help-ful for underwater borrowersstruggling to make currentloan payments due to a changein a financial situation or whenfaced with other significantexpenses. Money savedthrough refinancing also mayincrease your individual cashflow and help you pay off orconsolidate other debt, includ-ing credit cards.
Refinancing also may allowyou to shorten the length ofyour mortgage term. If youhave additional funds avail-able, you may be able to adjustyour loan to a shorter termwith a lower interest rate,which can ultimately help youpay off your mortgage loanfaster.
Many homeowners may beeligible for the government’senhanced Home AffordableRefinance Program (HARP),
which was designed in 2009 tohelp underwater borrowersrefinance. During the fourthquarter of 2011, the FederalHousing Finance Agency an-nounced significant modifica-tions to this program, calledHARP 2.0, which has been ex-tended until December 2013.This program continues tochange, and some borrowerswho were not qualified underthe former program may qual-ify under HARP 2.0.
The HARP 2.0 program canbenefit borrowers, who arecurrent on their mortgagepayments and have not had alate payment in the past sixmonths and no more than onelate payment in the past 12months. This program is de-signed for borrowers whoseexisting loan has been sold toFannie Mae and Freddie Macon or before May 31, 2009.
To help you understand ifrefinancing is right for you,you should contact your cur-rent mortgage lender or anoth-er financial institution to re-view your available options.

Our culture professes thatthe modern world of technol-ogy is completely independentfrom the archaic sphere inwhich our grandparents reside.I too shared this feeling untilrecently, when my allusions assuch were quickly dismantledafter conducting several in-terviews with the “elderly” ofour society.
The majority of people inolder generations who have anaversion to technology do sobecause of their resistance tochange. Barbara Connor, aretired housewife living inFlorida with her husband Wil-liam, has had a difficult timeadjusting to the new techno-logical age. She says, “I reallydislike new things, doesn’tmatter what they are. I resistchange, but then when I haveit, I think it’s the most wonder-ful thing in the world.”
It wasn’t only that the op-posed interviewees resistedchange in general, but they alsofound the pace of change to beoverwhelming. Helen Kreitz-burg, a retired retail managerliving in Pittsburgh, said, “Forpeople like me, who are justbeginning to use the device, itis really frustrating because Iam still trying to get used tothe old version when they comeout with something new.”
Shirley Dershowitz, fromNew York, has coined her erathe “sandwich generation”because most of them let thetechnological wave pass bywithout becoming very in-volved with it. She says, “Littleby little we will be forced touse the computer, whether welike it or not ... we’re really thesandwich generation. We arebeing forced to change becausewe have too many years left.”
Although Mrs.Dershowitz isnot ecstaticabout thischange, sheunderstands itis bound tohappen andwill approachthe challengehead on.
Instead ofbeing “forced
to change” as Mrs. Dershowitzstated, many grandparentshave embraced this change,even welcomed it. For them,email, social networking andvideo chatting are used to com-municate with family andfriends.
Email is by far the mostpopular Internet activityamong older generations be-cause it is the easiest and mostconvenient form of correspon-dence. Robert Paul, my 72-year-old grandfather who isalso vice president of sales andmarketing at Magna Group inDetroit, prefers email “becauseyou don’t have to sit and waitaround for an answer, whichquite frankly, I don’t have timefor.”
Although the majority of theinterviewees said they did notoperate a social media account,those who did stated the fore-most reason was to increasecommunication with theirgrandchildren.
May Johnson says, “I onlyget on a few times a year, andwhen I do, it is to talk withSummer and Sydney (hergrandchildren). They don’tanswer their phones anymore,so Facebook is the best way.”
Skype and other forms ofvideo chatting, although notexceedingly popular, are em-
ployed in the same way. Marga-ret Schrand will not go outsidethe house without a full appli-cation of makeup, so she adher-es to these same rules whenvideo-chatting her children andgrandchildren. “Oh yes, I doenjoy Skyping Kimberly andher children,” she says, “but ofcourse only if my makeup ison.” Her husband, John, washeard chuckling in the back-ground.
Although each participantpossessed a distinctive ap-proach regarding his or herrelationship with technology,prevalent throughout eachphone call was the theme ofcourage. Our grandparents arediving into this strange andoverwhelming realm of tech-nology without an ounce ofexperience. Baptism by fire,you could say. I am humbledthat I had the chance to hearthese unconventional storiesfirsthand, but I also feel com-pelled to share it with willingears.
It is for that reason that Iam writing in my room on aSaturday afternoon. This is nota story of the meek and feeble,this is a story of determination,of not giving up. Although thisstrange new world has beenthrust upon them, the “old”people are adapting. ShirleyDershowitz couldn’t have put itbetter when she said, “As youknow, I don’t like things tochange, but of course the onlything in life you can guaranteeis that there will be change.You might not always be readyfor it, but you sure as hell bet-ter learn to embrace it.”

It’s interesting howyour requests coincidewith current events. TheRuth Lyons Children’sFund is in full swing andI’ve had several requestsfor her famous coffee-
cake. It’s aspecial wayto honorthis womanwho hashad such apositiveimpact onus.
RuthLyons’
coffeecakeI have a few versions of
this recipe, but this is theone that’s supposed to beRuth’s original. I’ve madethis twice now, once fol-lowing the recipe belowand once making it with21⁄4 cups flour, 11⁄2 tea-spoons cinnamon, 1⁄4 tea-spoon salt, 1⁄2 cup oil, 2teaspoons vanilla and novinegar. (The vinegar isused to “sour” the milk,making it more like but-termilk). I made a thinicing to glaze it, as well.The difference betweenthe two was slight. This isa straightforward, simplecoffeecake. If you want aricher tasting one with athicker cinnamon topping,I have my holiday over-night coffeecake on myblog.
1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, darkpreferred
21⁄2 cups flour1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon salt
3⁄4 cup oil1 teaspoon vinegar1 cupmilk1 egg, lightly beaten1 teaspoon baking soda

My best clone ofWilliams-Sonomapeppermint bark
You didn’t think I couldlet the holidays go bywithout sharing yet anoth-
er version, did you? Someof you have had trouble inthe past with the barkshattering/separating.That happens somewhateven with the purchasedbark, but this recipe keepsthat to a minimum, if atall. Out of all the recipesI’ve made for barkthroughout the years,using different meltingmethods and chocolates,I’ve come back to myclassic way of teachingstudents. By the way,check out the photo. Canyou tell which is mine andwhich is Williams-Sono-ma’s? I used Kroger realsemi-sweet and whitechocolate morsels.
2 cups semi sweet chocolatechips, divided into 11⁄4 cupand 3⁄4 cupmeasures
11⁄2 teaspoons peppermintextract, divided into 1teaspoon and 1⁄2 teaspoonmeasures
23⁄4 cups white chocolatechips, divided into 21⁄4 cup
and 1⁄2 cupmeasures1⁄4 cup crushed peppermintcandy
Line a cookie sheetwith one piece of foil,about 10 inches by 12 inch-es. Or do the same in a13-inch by 9-inch pan.
Put 11⁄4 cups semi-sweetchocolate in heat proofbowl. Set over a saucepanthat has 1 inch of steamingwater, making sure bowldoes not touch water. (Thisis a makeshift doubleboiler). Heat should beturned to low. Stir untilchocolate is just aboutmelted, then remove bowlfrom pan and stir 3⁄4cupmore in rest of semisweetchocolate, a bit at a time,until all is melted. If nec-essary, put the bowl backon the pan to help melt. Ifthere’s any moisture onthe bottom of the bowl,wipe it dry. Stir in 1 tea-spoon of the extract andpour onto foil, spreadingin even layer. Tap pan on
counter to remove any airbubbles. Let sit at roomtemperature until justabout set, anywhere from15-20 minutes. When youpress your finger into thechocolate a very slightindentation will remain.
Put 21⁄4 cups white choc-olate in clean bowl andrepeat process for melt-ing, stirring in remaining1⁄2 cup chips after remov-ing bowl from pan. Stir in1⁄2 teaspoon extract. Pourover chocolate layer andspread.
Sprinkle with candy. Ifnecessary, gently pressinto chocolate. Let set atroom temperature untilcompletely firm.
Peel bark off foil andbreak into pieces. Store,covered, at room temper-ature up to a month or so.If it’s extremely warm inthe house, store, covered,in refrigerator and bringto room temperature be-fore eating.
