CampbellCountyhascollect-ed$1.6million for its 911servicewith a new property tax fee.

Fiscal Court collected themoney on property tax bills forthe first time in 2013 after ap-proving the fee Aug. 7. The $45per commercial or residentialunit property tax fee replaced a$3 per month landline phonefee. The county stopped collect-ing the fee on phone bills Dec.31.

The GreaterCincinnati/Northern Ken-tuckyApartmentAssociation fileda lawsuit againstthe county Sept.12 alleging theFiscal Court doesnot have the au-

thority under Kentucky’s con-stitution to assess the 911 fee onproperty taxes. Arguments inthe case are scheduled to beginin circuit court Friday, Feb. 21.

Campbell County Adminis-trator Robert Horine said thecounty has submitted writtenarguments to the court defend-ing the creation of the tax fee.

The county has collectedabout 95 percent of the revenue

it expects to come in from theproperty taxfee’s firstyear,Ho-rinesaid.The$1.6millionhasal-ready been transferred to thedispatch center.

The fee was designed tobring in $1.8 million this year,but the county offered a 50 per-centdiscount toapartmentown-ers for the first year of the fee.Apartment owners took thecounty up on the offer, Horinesaid.

“The good news is we haveestablished a stable platformfor funding 911 services,” hesaid.

The fee collected from lan-dlines had dropped from $1.68million in 2010 to $1.49million in

2012 as people beganswitching to mobilephones. The county sup-plemented the dispatchcenter’s 2012-13 budgetdeficit with $260,000.

The estimated deficit

for this year was going tobe about $500,000 for thecenter if the property taxfee wasn’t instituted, saidDale Edmondson, execu-tive director of the dis-patch center.

He said fee collectionis just enough for the dis-patch center to operatewithout a deficit. The cen-ter’s budget of $2 million

includes funding fromfederal and state grants.

The property tax feehas generated enough tomaintain existing staffingand operations, which thelandline fee would nothave allowed,Edmondsonsaid.

“We’re at a pointwherewe can actually covercosts,” he said.

Continuing physicaltherapy after a back sur-gery on his own led him tothe center. “I come fourtimesaweekandI love it.”

Ira Manley, 88, of ColdSpring, said he comesthree times a week, liftsweights and uses thetreadmill and strengthtraining equipment. Helikes theability tositdownand exercise because it is

more comfortable andless strain on his back.

“When you’re my ageyou need to get thestrength up, and this hasbeen a a big help to me,”Manley said

As Manley worked outJan. 23, other men at thecenter yelled out his nick-name of Big Blue.

“I’m a very loyal (Uni-versity of)Kentucky fan,”he said.

Manley said he enjoysspeaking with fellow UKfans, and the generalatmosphere of the center.

Highland Heights resi-dent Stephen Richter wasoneofmenyelling toMan-ley. He said he comes into

the center with friendsthree times a week.

“After we do a littleworkout we sit here andsocialize,” he said. “Be-sides the exercise, social-izing is a big part of it.”

With senior citizensworking out on equip-ment, it’s alsogood tohavetwo staffmemberswatch-ing how people are doingwhile exercising, Richtersaid.

“They’re alwayswatching to see and makesure somebody doesn’tget hurt on themachines,”he said. “They take theirjob serious and do a goodjob.”

CRESTVIEW HILLS —ThomasMore College stu-dents are known as theSaints, and each Februarythe community is invitedto celebrate the Feb. 7birthday of the college’snamesake.

The idea of celebratingSt. Thomas More startedwhen the college orga-nized a national celebra-tion of the saint’s 500thbirthday in1978, said Ray-mond G. Hebert, profes-sor of history and formerdean of ThomasMore Col-lege. He has studied St.ThomasMore extensively– and students and staffknow him by his affinityfor researching the saint.

“His birthday is alsomybirthday,whichmeansI can never hide it on thiscampus,” Hebert said.

Thelistofpubliceventshas grown over the years.There is a performance ofIrish music at 7 p.m. Fri-day, Feb. 7, and an obser-vatory viewing night andopenhouseat 7p.m.Satur-day, Feb. 15.

The Northern Ken-tucky Brotherhood Sing-ers begin theweek at noonMonday, Feb. 10. TheCrestviewHills campus isat333ThomasMorePkwy.

St.ThomasMorehasal-waysbeen thepatronsaintof lawyers, and since 2000has also been the patronsaintofpoliticians,Hebertsaid.

“We’re proud of being

named after him, becauseI don’t think there is a bet-ter name for a liberal artscollege than ThomasMore, the man known forintegrity and who was alayman, husband and fa-ther,” he said.

First known as VillaMadonna College, the col-lege was founded in 1921by the Benedictine SistersofCovington to trainwom-en to become Catholicteachers. It became co-ed

in 1945. President LyndonB. Johnson dedicated anewcampus of the collegeCrestview Hills in 1968,the same year the namewas changed to ThomasMore College. It now hasan enrollment of 1,600 stu-dents.

Another fixture of thebirthday celebration hasbecome theCadenBlincoeOutland Festival, a publicreading of works from au-thors’ writings.

FRANKFORT — Bishop Bros-sart suffered a pair of heart-breaking losses in the All “A”Classic state tournament lastweek in Frankfort.

The girls team fell 60-58 toDanville in the quarterfinalsJan.31,despite leading thefirst29 minutes of the game. Bros-sart had a 13-point lead in thesecondhalf at onepoint (40-27).

“This is the hardest one,”said Brossart head coach JoshFeldmann. “We had the goal tocome down here and win thewhole thing. They’re very up-set and disappointed. It’s agame we had complete controlof – timeout wise, possessionwise and everything. We didn’tfinish plays. It was a total teameffort from the coaching staffdown.”

TheMustangs shot 56.8 per-cent from the field, including61.1 percent in the second half,but made just 14 of 25 freethrows.

Senior Sarah Futscher ledBrossart with 17 points, whilesenior guard Abby Stadmilleradded 10 and sophomore for-ward Emily Schultz had ninepointsand13rebounds.Futsch-er also had nine rebounds, twoassists and a blocked shot.

Danville shot 38 percent forthe game.

“In the first half we stayedman and then we had to go tothe zone, because we got insome foul trouble with ourbigs,” Feldmann said. “We hadto find ways to protect them.They did a good job when theyreversed the ball and attackedgaps in our zone and get closerand get some fouls called.”

The boys team lost in thefirst roundtoPaducahSt.MaryJan. 30, 38-36. St. Mary seniorWesAverill hit a basket as timeexpired. The shot came fromAverillgrabbingalooseballoffadeflection fromBrossart sen-ior Erik Rieger.

“We actually had it de-fended pretty well,” said Bros-sart head coach Mike Code.“Weknocked theball away, andnot only that, we knocked it to-ward the sideline and at that

point you kind of feel they’reout of sync and not going to beable to run what they want torun.”

Brossart made just 6 of 17free throws in the game, 1 of 6in the final two minutes whenthe Mustangs had a four-pointlead.

“We’ve been a pretty goodfree-throw shooting team allyear, but we sure weren’t to-night,” Code said. “It wasmorethan that.We can’t turn the ballover like we had in the final

couple of minutes. This teamhas been very good at closingout games all year, but boy wedidn’t close it out tonight.”

Brossart was in the statetournament for the11th time in12 seasons, and fifth in a row.Spencer Hackworth gave theMustangs the lead with 3:29 toplay in the game on a 3-pointer,his third of the contest. SeniorAlex Trentman led Brossartwith 12 points, eight reboundsand one blocked shot. DrewBurns had 10 points and Hack-worth nine.

Brossart drops to19-2 on theyear.Theboys teamwill playatNewport Central Catholic Fri-day, Feb. 7 then play at Scott ina district seeding game Friday,Feb. 14. Brossart’s next homematch is Feb. 17 against Lloyd.

ALEXANDRIA — JakeHarris went from a junioron a senior-led team to asenior leader on a muchyounger team when the2013-14 bowling seasoncommenced at CampbellCounty High School.

Harris led the Camelsin both pins andmorale asthey repeated as Region 5teamchampions Jan. 29 atSuper Bowl Bellewood inNewport. The Camels willparticipate in the statechampionships Feb. 13-14in Lexington.

“It’s abigwin, especial-ly after what we lost lastyear,” Harris said. “Itmeans a lot. It’s amazing.”

The Camels defeatedScott, Newport CentralCatholic and Highlands inthe match-play portion ofthe tourney, which werebest-of-five games in theBaker format. The Bakerformat involves fiveteammates alternatingframes within one game.

TheCamelswere takento the maximum fivegames in their last twomatches, including thesemis, but they kept theirseason alivewith a189-160win over NewCath ingame five.

“We have young kids,you never know how theywill perform under pres-sure, but they did,”Harrissaid. “They stepped up.”

Harris is on a personalroll heading into state. Hewas the regional singlesrunner-up as well and willcompete at state for a solotitle Feb. 13.

In the week leading upto the regional, he rolledtwo-game sets of 513 and499 in the team’s final tworegular matches, postinga253averageinthosefourgames. The 513 represent-ed the best series in all ofNorthern Kentucky forthe season.

In the regional singlestourney, he was the topseed in qualifying afteraveraging 220 for fivegames. He lost in the finalto Simon Kenton’s CaseyMangold, who shot a near-perfect 279 to Harris’ 183.

He attributed his suc-cess to knowing the teamwas counting on him incrunchtime,andhe’s look-ing forward to a big statetourney.

“We have to cut downour opens and keep ourheads in it and come onstrong,” Harris said. “Wehave to make our spares,including myself, and

keep the young kids fo-cused.”

The Campbell girlsteam rolled to a perfectrecord in three years ofKentucky High SchoolAthletic Association sanc-tioning, winning the re-gional title all three timesso far.

The Camels won theteam championship, de-feating NewCath, Scottand Newport in 3-0sweeps.

“Wehavefivegirlswhohave never really bowledat all,” said head coachWayne Heringer. “Theyhave improved so muchsince the beginning of theyear.Theykindof feedoffeach other. One starts do-ing better and the otherswant to do as well as shedoes.”

The Camels have pros-pered behind veterans Al-lison McGlasson, EricaBiddle and Erica Hick-man to lead the crop ofnewbies.

McGlasson won the re-gional singles title Jan. 28,scoring 181 and 180 in twomatches to take thecrown. The first win wasover senior teammate Ka-raHenry,who is oneof thenewcomers to the team.Henry averaged 135 dur-ing the season but uppedthat to 172 in seven gamesin the regional.

Think of all of the thingsthat divide us: politics, reli-gion, abortion, racism, gayrights, environmentalism,capitalism, militarism, healthcare, marriage, taxes, war,wealth, poverty, education,ignorance, patriotism andegoism.

We separate ourselves frompeople who disagree with us;and we disdain others withdifferent ambitions, achieve-ments or goals. Yet, our hu-manity unites us in ways thatour differences cannot defeat.A Christian is more like aMuslim than a giraffe. A gayperson is more like a straightperson than a spider. A Repub-lican is more like a Democratthan a goldfish.

We lose ourability to im-prove societyin any waywhen we losethat “... simpleattitude oflistening tobuild on whatis common(Cardinal Ma-radiaga, Hon-duras).” Thisis where our

government has come to; thisis where we all have come to.We cannot even bear to listento someone with a differentopinion from our own. Wehave our own clubs, churchesand news stations.

The issues that divide us

call us to consider the simplic-ity of christian faith: “Onecannot be a Christian withoutbeing a person first (with) ...traits and possibilities that arethe patrimony of no one inparticular but instead of hu-manity as a whole.”

We all have needs in com-mon, like food, housing, cloth-ing, health and education. Wealso have fears in common,those problems that CardinalMaradiaga describes as rob-bing us of sleep. We cannotshare this deepest part of ourhumanity until we stop empha-sizing our differences.

Cardinal Maradiaga be-lieves in a community that, “...helps to make life intelligibleand dignified, and makes it a

community of equals withoutcastes or classes, without richor poor.” I believe in a UnitedStates of America that followsthe same ideals. “... (I)f we arebrothers, we must fight forestablishing relations of equal-ity and to eliminate theirgreatest obstacles: money andpower ... consequently it isnecessary to create a move-ment that can bring aboutsuch a thing…”

Our common humanityshould lead us away from thepolitics of division. We don’tneed to be on the winning side;we need to be on the side ofour neighbors, with politics,unions and philosophies allsubordinate to people. Weneed what the Cardinal calls,

“a simple attitude of listeningto build on what is common.”When a politician tells youthat some other group doesn’tcare about children, or oldpeople, or the environment, itis a lie.

All people desire to nurtureand to protect children, tomake sure that the elderly orinfirmed are cared for, andwant the earth to endure be-yond our own lifetime. Byinsisting upon this basic truthfrom our politicians, we maybegin to make some headwaywith policies that actually putpeople ahead of power andambition.

In the United Health Foun-dation’s 2013 edition of Ameri-ca’s Health Rankings, the greatstate of Kentucky came in atNo. 45 when considering smok-ing, obesity, physical inactivityand diabetes. (Ohio, by theway,is No. 40.)

All of that should, of course,be disturbing to anyone. It’s es-pecially frustrating for those ofus in the medical professionwho are spending more andmore time strategizing on thebest ways to educate the com-munity on how to remove riskfactors for heart and vasculardiseases, as well as how to bestmanage the consequences.

February is AmericanHeartMonth, yet another opportunityto remind people that by eatingbetter, exercising and notsmoking, thequalityofyour life

will improve.I don’t know

if it’s become acliche or back-ground noise,but the mes-sages are notgetting out inways that areeffectiveenough tochange behav-iors.

People con-tinue to smoke. They continueto overeat. They continue tolive sedentary lifestyles.

All of that affects their over-all healthwhich, in turn, affectsfamily members, work produc-tivity, personal finances, aswell as the economics of healthcare.

St. Elizabeth Healthcare of-

fers some of the finest heart-health care in the region. It hasstate-of-the-art technology anda highly skilled medical teamthat is passionate about servingthis community. We have along-standinghistoryofprovid-ing high-quality health care –and we strive to keep gettingbetter. We are presently build-ing a heart and vascular insti-tute that will be on par with thebest in the country.

And yet, we hope you neverhave to use our facilities – oranyone else’s. We hope you canmodify your lifestyle and con-trol your own health destiny.

What can you do? I’ll keep itsimple and give you two goalsfor this month:

1. Walk five days a week. It’sfree. It’s easy. Develop a rou-tine and/or agreat iPodplaylist.

Go as long as you feel is com-fortable.Getyourheart rateup.Find someone to walk with youand encourage each other. Youwill feel better. That will be ad-dictive and spill into your eat-ing and smoking habits.

2. Avoid environments thatdiscourage good health and putyourself in situations whereyou can succeed. It’s hard tostop smoking when othersaround you are lighting up. It’sharder toeathealthywhenyoursignificant others are eatingfast foods.

These changes will benefityour entire family.

We will do our part as well.Our mobile cardio van,

which offers screenings, is outandaboutmore than150 timesayear.

We plan to have our heart

and vascular education pro-gram reach into communities aminimum of 12 times this yearand to collaborate more closelywith your primary care physi-cians,whoarevitally importantto your care.

Wearealsoworkingwithourvalued friends at the acclaimedMayo Clinic on ideas for thebest ways to reach and teachpeople.

We want to be responsive tothe community’s needs. Wewant tobea support systemanda resource.

Nobody lives forever; weknow that. We just want peopleto live longer and we want peo-ple to live better.

I always get senti-mental around Valen-tine’s Day. I rememberbeing a kid in secondgrade, hoping I’d getsome Valentine cardsfrommy classmates,particularly Bobby Simp-

son. It wasalways funwatchingmy boyswhen theywere thatage choosespecialcards fortheir Val-entines.Timeschange,

but the message is thesame. Anybody can beyour Valentine, so re-member those folks whohave lent a helping hand,or who may just needcheering up. Send them afunny kid’s card with anote and, if you can,share one of these reci-pes with them. Chocolaterules!

Cappuccinomochapudding cake akaUpside down hotfudge pudding cake

If you’re making thisfor kids or someone whodoesn’t like coffee flavor,leave out espresso. Thefun thing about this isyou learn a bit of foodchemistry: the hot fudgesauce is poured over thetop of the cake batter,and as the cake bakes,the sauce turns to pud-ding and sinks to thebottom while the cakebatter rises to the top!

Cake:

2 cups flour1⁄3 cup plus 1 tablespooncocoa powder

2 teaspoons instantespresso coffee powder

1 tablespoon baking powder11⁄2 cups sugar1 cup chopped toastedwalnuts or other nuts(optional)

1 cupmilk4 tablespoons melted butter2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray 9-inch by13-inch pan. Whisk flour,cocoa, espresso powder,baking powder and sugartogether. In separatebowl, whisk milk, butterand vanilla. Add this todry ingredients andblend. Pour into pan.

Pudding:

1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, firmlypacked

1⁄2 cup plus 2 tablespoonscocoa powder

13⁄4 cup very hot water

Mix sugars and cocoa.Pour water over andwhisk. Pour ever so gent-ly and evenly over bat-ter. Pudding will lookquite thin but gets realthick as it bakes. Bake30-35 minutes or untilcenter is set and justfirm to touch. Don’t overbake or you won’t getmuch pudding!

Tips from readers’kitchens

Tortellini soup update.Sandy, a loyal reader,made the tortellini soupwith spinach and used a19 oz. bag of tortelliniand found it was way toomuch for the quart ofbroth. She decided to addmore broth, whichworked. Sandy asked meto specify howmuchtortellini to put in. Iwould say start with 2cups tortellini and go

from there.John Pancoast’s egg-

plant casserole. MaryLou K. made this healthi-er by substituting wholewheat crackers for thetopping and low-fat yo-gurt for the whippingcream. “It was very deli-cious and would make agreat main dish, thoughwe had it with trout andconsidered it our vegeta-ble and starch,” she said.

This is the time of yearwhen a warm bowl ofsoupmay just brightenyour day. It can also be agreat time of year tomake a large pot of soupat home; enjoy some nowand save some for later.Some soups can bemadein 15 minutes or lesswhile others benefit fromseveral hours of simmer-ing.

Homemade soups canbe lower in sodium andfat than canned or boxed,ready-to-eat or condensedsoups. Homemade soupsmay also trump thoseserved in restaurants.Most homemade soupscan easily be frozen insmaller portions for useat a later date.

What makes a greatsoup? Your favorite vege-tables, combined with aprotein, a starch, a liquidand some seasonings.While chicken soup hasnot been shown to curethe common cold, re-search does show it helpsrelieve the symptoms ofan upper respiratorytract infection. Also, peo-ple just felt better afterconsuming chicken soup.

Chickenbroth didnot havethe sameeffect.

Re-search alsohas shownthat thosewho eat a100-calorieportion ofbroth-

based soup before a mealconsume fewer caloriesfor that meal. We shouldalways follow safe foodhandling practices. Mis-handled soups and stewscan be breeding groundsof unwanted bacteria.Soups and stews shouldbe cooled as quickly aspossible to decrease theopportunity for bacteriato multiply. Consider thefollowing tips:

»Divide soup intosmaller portions andstore in shallow contain-ers.

»Use ice cubes forcooling if they don’t af-fect the quality of thesoup.

» Place the pot in anice water bath to coolsoup or stew, stir fre-

quently.» Stir the soup or stew

frequently to help cool itprior to storing.

If the container inwhich you store the soupis large, the middle of thesoup will stay hot forhours, while the outeredges begin to cool. Thesoup in the center be-comes a haven for bacte-rial growth. Instead, sep-arate the soup into smallor shallow containers forstoring.

Refrigerating boilinghot soups (and foods forthat matter) cause thetemperature inside therefrigerator to rise,therebymaking the appli-ance work harder. Theincrease in temperaturealso may cause the tem-perature of other foods inthe refrigerator to rise,thereby putting them inthe food temperaturedanger zone. It is best todo something to coolfoods somewhat beforeplacing them in the re-frigerator.

Question: I would liketo grow decorativeplants in my landscapethat would also providefood for my family. Doyou have any sugges-tions?

Answer: An attractivelandscape of varioustrees and shrubs, someflowers and well-tendedturf has value. Our land-scapes help define ouroutdoor living space,provide shade and helpscreen unwanted views.A well-maintained land-scapemay add as muchas 5 percent to 10 per-cent to the value of ourproperty.

But landscapes canprovide another re-source that we don’toften consider – food.What if it were possibleto introduce edibleplants into your land-scape? Growing yourown food has some obvi-ous benefits such asfresh and flavorfulfruits, vegetables,herbs and edible flow-ers. Many food-pro-ducing plants can fillthe roles that we usu-ally assign to otherplants in our land-scape.

Trellised black-berries, for example,make a great hedge orscreen. Using thornytypes can also providesomemeasure of secu-rity. Some varietieseven keep some oftheir leaves through-out the winter to pro-vide some screening.Trellising the black-

berrieswill helpdefine theplantingand pro-mote moreuprightgrowth.The timeneeded toprune andthin black-berries is

comparable to manyother hedge-type plant-ings. Also, blackberrieshave relatively few prob-lem insects or diseases.Highbush blueberrybushes make beautifullandscape shrubs, pro-ducing showy, white,urn-shaped flowers be-fore setting on the lovely,tasty blue fruits we alllove. Just be sure to addorganic matter and do asoil test soon in case youneed to add some sulfurto lower the soil pH.

Serviceberry is a bushor small tree that hasmulti-season beauty withits showy white springflowers, its edible Junefruits (like small blue-berries), great orangefall foliage color andstriped bark on treeforms of the plant.

In flower beds, youcan plant fancy-leafedlettuce in early spring. Itcomes in many leaf col-ors, including yellow,bronze, red, purple,green, speckled andspotted. Lettuce is a goodcool-season vegetableplanted in earlyMarchand finished bymid-May,just around the time youare adding annual flow-ers. In summer, try a fewrainbow chard plants,brightly-colored hot andsweet peppers, and pur-ple or variegated basil.All are relatively pestfree and are a good con-

trast to common flower-ing annuals and perenni-als.

Also, consider con-tainers. Cherry tomatoescome in red, yellow,orange or purple, grow-ing well in hanging bas-kets where vines areallowed to droop over theedge of the pot. Severalherbs (like tri-color sage)are quite attractive, arewell suited to containersand also provide savoryflavoring for your saladsandmeals. For moreinformation on ediblelandscaping or othergardening topics, and towin free flower and veg-etable seeds, go tobit.ly/mikeklahr or con-tact your local CountyCooperative ExtensionService.
