Turner is one of only eight students in eighth grade to score a perfect 36 since April 2010, said Katie Wacker, a spokeswoman for ACT. In the past four years there have been 8,600 scores of 36 from stu- dents in all grades. Kentucky requires all high school juniors to take the test, and students can take the test multiple times in an attempt to better their score. All major U.S. colleges accept ACT scores as evidence a student is academically prepared. Turner, a member of the aca- demic team at Campbell Coun- ty Middle School, said he took the ACT now because some of his friends and classmates took the test a year ago. “I wanted to see how I stood with the other people who took it,” he said. Turner said he will probably take the ACT once or twice more while in high school to see how he is doing. Regardless of how he does if he takes the ACT test again, he can still use the 36 when applying to colleges. He took the ACT at Campbell County High School April 14, and found out he scored a 36 on April 22. Turner found out about the score by looking at the ACT website as his father Rick drove him home from school. “I did not think I did any- where close to that well, so I was in shock for a few min- utes,” he said. Turner said he spends more time playing video games, about four hours a day, than he does studying. He dreams of becoming a video game designer, but hasn’t decided that is what he wants to do for certain. His father, Rick, said his son does study each night before going to bed because it helps keep the information fresh in his memory each day. “His gift is he has the ability of once he sees it, he’s got it,” said his father. Turner said he did study for the ACT, but not every night. When his father borrowed a book from the library about how to study for the ACT, he read it. Turner said he also an- swered practice questions on- line about once or twice a week as he prepared for the ACT. “I didn’t expect to do that well,” he said. “I was trying to do all right.” His mother, Cathleen, said middle school math teacher Faye Smith and science teach- er Doni Beaupre had a positive influence. Smith is also coach of the ac- ademic team and the Math Counts student team. “The only reason he took the ACT is he’s doing really well in academic team and Math Counts,” said his mother.

In 1976, Peluso waselected to the first of two

four-year terms on New-port CityCouncil.He thenlost a 1984 bid for countycommissioner, and after a20-year hiatus from pub-lic service, he unsuccess-fully ran for county jailerin 2004.

He attendedCovingtonLatin School and graduat-ed fromNewportCatholicHigh School. Peluso wenttoNorthernKentuckyVo-cational School before en-tering Northern Ken-tucky University, but didnot graduate.

Peluso and his wife,Debbie, have been mar-ried for 46 years. Theyhave four daughters andone grandchild.

He has a Facebookpage under his name.

Peluso doesn’t think at-tempts to remove the of-fice of constable will getany traction, but wouldsupport more training forconstables.

“I think we’d all be infavor of more trainingand that would probablyput a stop to this comingup all the time. I don’tthink itwouldever fly,”hesaid. “I think the only is-sue is to fulfill your job tothe letter of the law, and

He and his wife, Don-na, have been married 52years, and have two sons,four grandchildren andtwo great-grandchildren.

He’s unconcernedabout attempts to removethe office of constable.

“I really don’t see anyissues except they have aDemocrat in there and Iwant a Republican inthere,” he said. “Other-wise, I kind of support it. Ithinkall that shouldbego-ing through the sheriff’soffice. It’s an open posi-tion and I decided to runfor it. I decided years ago,if it’s available, I’ll run forit.”

FORTMITCHELL—JuliaHughes’ life changed for-ever in the summer of2011.

That’s when the nowseventh-grader atBlessed Sacrament wasdiagnosed with type 1dia-betes, a condition wherethe bodydoes not produceinsulin.

“I felt weird,” Hughessaid. “It makes you feelbad about yourself. Youhave all these emotions,you’re scared, you’re con-fused and you justwant todisappear.”

But she didn’t disap-pear. Instead, she rose tothe occasion andmade it apoint to educate othersabout the disease andstrive foracure.RecentlyHughes was named ayouth ambassador for theSouthwest Ohio Chapterof the Juvenile DiabetesResearch Foundation.

The foundation is theleading global organiza-tion focused on type1dia-betes research.TheYouthAmbassador Programwas created to empowerchildrenwith type1diabe-tes by giving them the op-portunity to provide dia-betes education to thepublic, said the founda-tion’s marketing special-ist Mindy Bailey.

“Our youth ambassa-dors accept the responsi-bility to represent JDRFinpublic settings andhelpsteward our mission,”Bailey said. “We can’tthink of better ambassa-dors than our active kidsthat battle this diseasedaily while keeping asmile on their face.”

According to Bailey,Hughes applied and wasaccepted into the pro-grambecause of her dedi-cation to creating aware-ness.

“Julia and her familyare very involved withJDRF and carry out ourmission daily,” she said.“The Southwest OhioChapter knewJuliawouldfollow through with allher responsibilities with110percent effort andbea

fabulous representationof the chapter and otherchildren suffering fromtype 1 diabetes.”

Hughes makes presen-tations about type1diabe-tes to Blessed Sacramentsixth-grade students dur-ing the school’s Every-body Counts Day. She iscurrently organizing hersecond Walk to Find aCure team for the founda-tion’s Kings Island walk.

“I feel like it’s impor-tant to inform peopleabout diabetes, how diffi-cult it is to live with andthe need for a cure,” shesaid. “Diabetics never geta break fromdiabetes.Wehave to deal with diabeteswhen we go with ourfriends, go to school, andeven go to sleep. We needa cure so we can live wor-ry-free lives.”

As a youth ambassa-dor, Hughes will be pro-viding health educationthroughout the communi-ty to raise support andawareness. She mayspeak to businesses,schools and hospitals, andparticipate in outreachevents sanctioned by thefoundation. Youth ambas-sadors also play key rolesin theWalk toCureDiabe-tes, the Cincinnatians ofthe Year Gala and Day-ton’s Summer Soiree. Theambassadors also writepersonal thankyou lettersto the foundation’s spon-sors and donors.

Hughes’ mother, Kath-leenJohnson, said sheandHughes’ stepfather, RonJohnson, and father, Pat-rick Hughes, are very

proud of their daughter.“She’s taken on this

challenge and is making adifference with it,” Kath-leen Johnson said. “She’snot using this as an obsta-cle, but as away tomake adifference and giveback.”

COLLEGE CORNER

BURLINGTON — Ryan Clarkgrewupa fan ofKentuckybas-ketball.

“It all started with mygranddad,” theBurlington res-ident says. “I grew up in Louis-ville, but he says he got to mefirst, before any U of L fanscould. So I grew up a UK fanand loved their basketballsquad ever since then.”

Clark, 34, has just publishedhis second book on UK withfriend Joe Cox, “Fightin’Words: Kentucky vs. Louis-ville.”

He and Cox had just fin-ished their last book, “100Things Wildcats Fans ShouldKnow and Do Before TheyDie,” when they began to won-der what was next.

Cox, 33, said the idea wasone he hadmore than a decadeago.

While Cox, who lives nearandworks inBowlingGreen, isa Kentucky fan – he and Clarkmetwatching aKentucky foot-ball game while attendingWestern Kentucky University– he attended theUniversity ofLouisville law school and sayshe’s the “softer edge of thetwo.”

Having lived in the city forthree years, “I kind of haveLouisville sympathies” andwill root for the team – but notat the expense of UK.

“Joe and I had both thoughtfor a long timesomeone should

write a book about the UK andU of L basketball rivalry,”Clark said. “Not a biased fanbook, but a true history bookabout the rivalry that justchronicledeachgame.Weboththought we would love to readthat.”

Clark says a book like thishadnever beenwritten before.

“I personally know friendsin the sportswriting business –peoplewhoare real journalismcelebrities – who wanted towrite this book but never did,”Clark said. “So Joe and Ipitched the idea, and especial-ly when Louisville won the na-tional title last year, publishersgot interested. This is the big-gest rivalry in college basket-ball The emotion and the char-acters involved are second to

none. And it had to be writtenabout.”

The competition betweenthe two teams,whichmeet Fri-day in the NCAA Sweet Six-teen, is fierce.

“The fans hate each other,the coaches hate each otherandwhen theymeet each year,the state almost boils over,”Clark said. “It’s the biggestthing in the state sports-wisethis side of the Kentucky Der-by.”

According toClark, theygetinto the stories behind thegames.

“We talk to players whohave overcome addiction of allkinds, horrible family livesand other adversity,” he said.“Fans will love these kids, nomatter who they root for.”

ALEXANDRIA — They have a wholenew team this year, but the CampbellCounty High School boys tennis teamhopes formoresuccess than theprevi-ous version.

The Camels had a strong perfor-mance in the 2013 postseason, with apair of 2013 graduates advancing tothe state tournament. This year’s edi-tion had a chance to surpass all that asthe 10th Region tournament beganMay 3 in Cynthiana.

“I turnedovermyroster,” saidheadcoach Jeremiah Sowards. “Mostmatches, I had a sixth-grader at sin-gles,andfivesophomoresandajunior.That’s the youngest my roster hasbeen in a long time.”

The middle-schooler, AndersonMcDowell, has been the No. 1 singlesplayer for the team all year, and hestarted the regional as the No. 3 seed.Sophomores Mason Geiman and JakeWalters were the three seed in dou-bles, and Dontay Hyatt andHogan Ol-diges the fifth seed. The top four fin-ishers in each bracket advance to thestate tournamentMay14-17 in Lexing-

ton, with the team champion partici-pating in the state teamtournament aswell. ConnerCombs isCampbell’s sec-ond singles player in the tourney.

Geiman and Walters reached thesemifinals, which were set to be con-testedMay5, andearnedaberth to thestate tourney. Campbell had a 7-8 rec-ord in dual matches for the year.

“We played a lot of really toughteams in the Ninth Region,” Sowardssaid. “I’m really impressed with howgood the Ninth Region is. They havesome really solid teams top to bot-tom.”

However theregional turnsout, theCamels will have a lot to build on fornext season.

“Every one of these kids is brandnew to varsity tennis. They may haveplayed a fewmatches but no one had afull season,” said Sowards, who had toadjust his coaching style this season.“I had to remember everything was alearning experience for them. And toreally focus on the fundamentals sothey had something to fall back on inmatches. It was nice because I got toreteach some basics and get them intothe program, understand why we’redoing things.”

NEWPORT — Unless they make anotherstate tournament run, it appears that New-port Central Catholic’s current streak of con-secutive 20-win seasons will end at three.

This year started off rocky for a programjust two years removed froma state quarter-final appearance. The 8-19 Thoroughbredsare looking for a spark that can propel themto another deep tournament run.

“Weneed toget somewinsso that theplay-ers have some confidence heading into dis-trict play,” head coach Jeff Schulkens said.

The ‘Breds came up with a big win overDayton on May 1, snapping a 10-game losingstreak. Itappearedthat the teamwasstartingthe new month fresh. Then, they droppedtheir next twogamesby identical10-0 scores.NewCath did show signs of life in a 5-1 loss toCovington Catholic on May 5. Right now,building confidence is the biggest goal.

“Theplayershavecontinued toworkhard,but lack confidence in their ability to be suc-cessful,” said Schulkens. “They need to startbelieving in themselves and their team-mates.”

Everywin over the next twoweekswill bea possible turning point. Each victory bringshope the Thoroughbreds are ready to turnthis season around and get back to their win-ning ways. Unfortunately, they have not yetbeenable to string togetherconsecutivewinssince April 11-12.

“There was a sense of relief (after endingthe 10-game losing streak),” said Schulkens.“I was hoping we could build off that win butso far we have not.”

This seasonhasbeena strain on the team’sveteran leaders. After winning 45 gamesover the past two seasons, including six post-season wins, the team’s six seniors expectedto fare better in 2014.

“It has been a challenge for them,” saidSchulkens of his upperclassmen. “They havebeen asked to do more than last year and sofar have not responded.”

Freshman Spencer Pangallo has been abright spot for the Thoroughbreds. Thepitcher and infielder has played beyond hisyearsandheldhisownagainstoldercompeti-tion. Even if the future looks promising, theThoroughbreds are not yet ready to give upon the 2014 season.

Improved fundamentals could unlock theconfidence and swagger that has been lack-ing so far this season. There is still time forthe ‘Breds to make incremental improve-ments in order to put all phases together intime for a playoff push.

“Weneedbetterpitching, defense, andhit-ting,” said Schulkens. “Pitchers need to do abetter jobof throwingstrikes.Wesimply justneed to start making plays defensively.”

Can a local profession-al football team win aplayoff game? TheNorth-ern Kentucky River Mon-sters earned opportunityto do just that by winningtheir final five regularseason games, including a36-24 win over DaytonMay 3.

The River Monstersclinched a berth in theCIFL South Divisionchampionship game,which will take placeagainst the Marion BlueRacers in Marion, Ohio,on May 10.

This playoff appear-ancewasfar fromagiven.The River Monstersweathered much earlyseason adversity in theirdebut season in the CIFL.

This was a roller coast-er of a season. It beganwith the River Monstersquarterback Jared Loren-zen, the popular High-lands High School andUniversity of Kentuckygrad and Super Bowlchampion, putting theteamandthe leagueonthemap. His performance inthe season opener quicklywentviral.Unfortunately,hebrokehis leg in the sec-ond game of the season.The River Monsters hadto live up to inflated ex-pectations without theirstar player and leader.Several young and hun-gry players stepped up,led by quarterback Anto-nio Davis and runningbackMaurice Douse.

“Theseboyshaveover-come so much this yearand deserve to be in the

championship game,”said River Monsters own-er Jill Chitwood. “I am sopleased and proud of howthey have pulled togetherand have made such astatement with their playand we plan to make atough run for the champi-onship.”

The team also enduredan early season coachingchange. Mike Goodpastertook over the reins ashead coach and directorof player personnel. Hesteadied the organizationafter its2-3 start.Now, theRiver Monsters are justtwo wins away frombringing home the CIFLchampionship.

“When I had CoachGoodpaster step up tohead coach, it helped themorale with each player,the coaches and the or-ganization,” said Chit-wood. “It has been won-derful tosee theseplayerscome together as well asthey have after the situa-tions at the first of theyear.”

The River Monstersenter the postseasonplay-ing as confident and looseas they have at any pointthis season. They are win-ning both high and lowscoring games. Most im-portantly, they are havingfun on the field.

“The players are hav-ing fun doing what theylove most,” said Chit-wood. “When they arehappy, they focus moreand play harder.”

A publication of

Commuting has a hugeimpact on our health. So itwasn’t surprising to see thatcommute times were includedfor the first time this year inthe County Health Rankings,an annual assessment ofhealth county-by-countyacross the country supportedby the Robert Wood JohnsonFoundation.

Boone County was one ofthe healthiest overall in thestate, ranking third in the 2014Health Rankings for healthfactors. But, the county strug-gles with commutes: 86 per-cent of Boone Countians driveto work alone, and 31 percenthave a commute of 30 minutesor more.

Campbell County was ninth

overall inKentucky inthe 2014Health Rank-ings for healthfactors. But,the countystruggles withcommutes: 82percent ofCampbellCountiansdrive to workalone, and 30

percent have a commute of 30minutes or more.

Kenton County was 19thoverall in Kentucky in the2014 Health Rankings forhealth factors. But, the countystruggles with commutes: 84percent of Kenton Countians

drive to work alone, and 26percent have a commute of 30minutes or more.

That adds up to poor health:Researchers have demon-strated that commutes canincrease a person’s anxiety,blood sugar and cholesterol.Workers who have long com-mutes also are less likely toget regular physical activity.A study in the American Jour-nal of Preventive Medicinefound that for each additionalhour per day spent in the car,the likelihood of obesity wentup 6 percent.

Commuting can make otherhealthy habits take a backseat. People with long com-mutes get less sleep thanthose with shorter commutes.

They are also more likely tomake unhealthy choices formeals. When time is tight, thefast food drive thru is all themore tempting. Finally, thosecars idling in traffic contrib-ute to air pollution levels.

In short, all that time sit-ting in our cars, by ourselveson the Cut in the Hill – or anyother local road – is impactingour health.

Our political and businessleaders are struggling to findsolutions that will reducetraffic and improve NorthernKentucky’s overall trans-portation system, with thereconstruction of the BrentSpence Bridge being at theforefront. It’s time for healthto become part of those con-

versations. Can we designcommunities so it’s easy tomake a healthy choice, andwalk or bike short distances?How do we convince residentsto take advantage of publictransportation or ride-shareprograms?

The answers may not besimple, and they certainly willcome with a significant cost.But we need to considerhealth in all policy decisions.Investing in improvements intransportation will also im-prove our health, reducing thecost and impact of chronicdisease in our community.

Sell has rightcombination ofexperience

As mayor of Cold Springand a director in the pri-vate sector, I’m worriedthat Campbell County isnot reaching its full poten-tial in the job market.

Last year, only one ofthe 21 job retention andcreation projects touted byNorthern Kentucky Eco-nomic Development Corp.(Tri-ED) took place inCampbell County. This isall the more troublingwhen you consider thatCampbell County’s currentjudge-executive is the headof Tri-ED.

I’ve witnessed firsthandthe lack of economic recov-ery occurring in CampbellCounty. Campbell lags inseveral key income andeducation indicators whileBoone and Kenton jumpahead. Frankly, we need ajudge-executive who willuse his influence to helpCampbell instead of funnel-ing potential jobs to Booneand Kenton.

Kevin Sell is the onlycandidate who will tacklethe two most important is-sues to Campbell County onDay One: job creation andthe heroin epidemic.

His background as an

emergency responder and abusiness executive providesthe right mix of experienceand knowledge to addressthese two key issues.

I’m proud to endorseKevin and I urge voters tojoin me in the May 20 pri-mary by putting CampbellCounty first and supportingKevin Sell.

The Obama economy hashad a devastating impact onthe people of Kentucky, espe-cially the many working wom-en and families who keep thiscommonwealth running.

The facts are plain: Underthis president’s watch, morethan 3.7 million Americanwomen have fallen into pover-ty, including 44,000 women inKentucky. The average Amer-ican woman now makes about$730 a year less than when thepresident took office. And ifshe’s a college graduate, she’sactually seen her incomeshrink by about double thatamount.

In other words, when itcomes to American womenoverall, what we’ve seen overthe past five and a half yearsis less income and more pov-erty. That’s the story Presi-dent Obama and his alliesdon’t want to talk about.

And no single policy ismore disastrous to our econo-my than Obamacare.

Just take Obamacare’s30-hour workweek rule, whichis forcing many employers toslash workers’ hours. By de-fining full-time workers whomust be offered health cov-erage as those working 30hours per week or more, thelaw gives incentives to em-ployers to cut work hoursbelow this threshold, thuslowering pay and produc-tivity.

Furthermore, as one studypointed out, nearly two-thirdsof those adversely affectedby this arbitrary provision ofObamacare are working wom-en.

The 30-hour workweekcreated under Obamacare

disproportion-ately reducestheir wages.

But Presi-dent Obama,Senator HarryReid, andtheir liberalallies in Wash-ington don’tseem to careabout theways peopleare being hurt

by their policies. They con-tinue to block innovativeideas Republicans have beenoffering to turn the tide.

For example, along withseveral Republican col-leagues, I offered a series ofmeasures in the U.S. Senatethat will help improve thejobs picture in this country,and provide greater opportu-nities for women, men, andfamilies desperate to getahead. Yet the majority in theSenate has objected to eachone.

They objected to our pro-posal to restore the 40-hourworkweek, single-handedlypreventing it from passing.

They also blocked my flextime proposal that would havegiven working Moms andDads the option to take timeoff to help them find a betterwork/life balance.

This is a policy that manyworking women say theywant, one that’s tailored to theneeds of the modern work-force, and one that many gov-ernment employees alreadyenjoy.

And work/life flexibility ismore critical than ever nowthat Obamacare’s 30-hourwork rule is forcing people to

pick up a second or a third jobjust to scrape by.

Senate liberals alsoblocked the pro-worker Rightto Work legislation that Sena-tor Rand Paul and I offered.Right to Work is smart policythat promises to boost com-petitiveness while advancingworkers’ rights by ensuringworkers are not forced tojoin, and thus aren’t limitedby the dictates of, a union.

It’s similar to another billI’m proud to co-sponsor: theRAISE Act, which would al-low workers to get a raiseeven if their union bossesdon’t want them to.

Currently, companies maybe forced by union contractsto pay their workers the sameno matter how they perform.

Today, a female worker canoutperform her colleaguesand then be told by someunion boss to sit down andaccept less pay than she de-serves – not a dime more thanthe coworkers she’s outper-forming. It’s unfair. Workerslike her shouldn’t be penal-ized by some archaic unionrule dreamt up before the ageof “Mad Men.”

The RAISE Act would fixthis by allowing individualexcellence to be recognizedand rewarded with merit pay.Who could be against higherpay for a job well done?

Americans want solutionsnow, and we owe it to them tostart passing the kinds ofinnovative, common-senseideas that I am committed tokeep pursuing on behalf ofthe Kentuckians I represent.

THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2014

Putting a bag of nonperish-able foods by the mailbox onSaturday, May 10, can help feeda struggling family or a senioron a limited income during thesummer months.

The U.S. Postal Service FoodDrive takes place on the sec-ond Saturday in May, but foodpantries across Northern Ken-tucky rely on regular donationsin order to feed hungry peoplethroughout the year.

According to a release fromthe USPS, around 50 millionpeople face hunger every dayin America, including nearly 17million children.

The postal service fooddrive brought in 25,000 poundsof nonperishable products inBoone, Campbell and Kentoncounties in 2013, 7,500 poundsof which went to stock thePantry of Hope in HighlandHeights.

Brandy Medaugh started aChristmas program in Decem-ber 2007, which grew into thePantry of Hope at First BaptistChurch of Highland Heights,2315 Alexandria Pike, whichoffers food, clothing, infantneeds, household goods andtoiletries from 9 a.m. to noonevery Saturday.

In 2008, the pantry helped125 families, and by 2013, Me-daugh and fellow volunteerStella Worley provided goodsto more than 2,300 familiesthroughout the year.

Although they‘re only opento serve the public four hours aweek, nearly 400 individualsand families will come throughthe Pantry of Hope during eachmonth, and the number of visi-tors rises through the summer-time.

“We do get more familieswith children during the sum-mer, but we get a lot of seniorsthrough here all year long,”said Worley.

Canned dinners and instantnoodles are much-needed non-perishable staples, but Me-daugh encourages donors tosend more nutritious foods,such as canned meats, cannedtuna and breakfast cereals.Canned fruits and vegetablesare always needed.

“Teens who are home aloneduring the day can fix them-selves a can of Spaghettios, orhot dogs and macaroni andcheese,” she said. “Taco dinnerkits are popular, becausethey’re different, and we cansometimes get a pound of meatto go with it.”

Morley said frozen dinnersare also easy to prepare. Pan-try of Hope has a freezer forhot dogs or microwavable din-ners, but not all pantries do.

“The most important thingis, that when you donate, checkthe expiration dates,” saidMedaugh. “I can’t serve it if it’spast the expiration date.”

Some of the other big non-perishable needs include tooth-paste, feminine products andtoilet paper.

At Pantry of Hope, theydon’t ask for income or resi-

dency information, just whatcan they do to help. Families inneed can visit one time eachmonth.

The Abundant Life ministryat Hebron Baptist Church hasbeen in operation a little more

than two years, organizer GaleLawson said.

They distribute on the thirdThursday of every month inthe lobby of the church, locatedat 3435 Limaburg Road, He-bron.

They typically help between30 and 35 families “and some-times more than that,” she said.

Those who receive assis-tance must live in Boone Coun-ty. Applications are available atthe church.

Lawson said during thesummer, they’ll ask in thechurch bulletin for donationsneeded for children “not get-ting the food as if they were inschool.”

While the ministry doesn’tyet have a plan in place for thesummer months, Lawson saidthere are items the food pantryalmost always needs, like pea-nut butter and jelly, cereal,tuna and spaghetti. In the sum-mer, they try to have sand-wiches, she said.

At Independence ChristianChurch, 5221Madison Pike,where the food pantry hasoperated for nearly sevenyears, coordinator Susan Lynchsaid they’ve had to cut back toserving families only onceevery two months, becausetheir supplies were so low.

Independence Christianopens their pantry each Fridaynight from 6 to 7 p.m. for resi-dents of Independence andsouthern Kenton County.

To donate to the food pantry,visit during serving hours orcall the church office at 859-356-3525.

“We really don’t see a differ-ence because we serve onceevery two months. I don’t thinkI’ve seen a difference betweenthe summer and wintermonths,” said Lynch. “We seethem pretty much year-round.A lot of our families are olderadults, two-person families, soit won’t make a differencebetween the seasons.”

She said cereals, cannedmeats and canned fruits arealways in need, along withpeanut butter.

When other church mem-bers decided to start a foodpantry, Lynch said she didn’tthink they would find supportor local families in need.

“Seven years later, andwe’re still doing it and stillserving,” she said. “That needis there everywhere. You justdon’t realize it.”

Mymom, Mary Nader,really did follow the beatof a different drummer.

Momwas traditionalin many ways except

when it cameto clothes.She was thefirst on ourblock towear pedalpushers (wecall themcapris now).Not so muchbecause theywere fash-ionable, but

because they were com-fortable. I’m a little bitlike myMom in thatrespect.

I like being fashion-able, but comfort trumpsfashion every time. Luck-ily, with the assortmentof clothing today, I can beboth.

When it came to food,Momwas “out there,” aswell. We ate squid whenit was just called squid,not calamari, and we atewhatever was in season.Her meager budget de-manded it. She had theMediterranean diet downpat, and as a mothermyself, I appreciatemore and more all thewisdom she imparted.

I’ve learned that onecan be a momwithoutever bearing children.My sister, Judy, is a goodexample of this. She hasbeen like a mom to ournieces and nephews. Sofor all the Moms outthere, biological or other-wise, the happiest ofMother’s Day to you!

Pastry shopPavlova/Meringues

Now this would be anelegant, yet fairly easy,dessert for Mom.

8 extra large eggwhites, room temper-ature

1 teaspoon cream oftartar

1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups granulated

sugar1 tablespoon vanillaPreheat oven to 175-

200. Line baking sheetswith parchment.

Beat egg whites, usinglow speed until whitesare loose and foamy. Addcream of tartar and salt

and increase speed tomedium. Beat untilwhites stand in soft butfrothy peaks. Turn tohigh and add sugar, about2 tablespoons at a time,beating for 5 secondsafter each addition. Thisassures sugars dissolvesand meringues come outcrispy, not too chewy.The meringue will beshiny and will fall intofirm peaks when beateris lifted.

Place meringue into apastry bag with star orplain tip and draw a cir-cle, starting frommiddleout. This will be yourbase. You can make thecircle as big as you like.

Then build up sides,about 3 layers. Or justplop a large dollop ofmeringue onto parch-ment and then take aspoon to hollow out cen-ter, making sure you stillhave a nice coating ofmeringue on the bottomin center.

Bake two hours, oruntil meringues are dryand crisp throughout.Pull from parchmentpaper and store up to twoweeks in airtight contain-ers. Fill with whippedcream and fresh fruit.You can also fill withlemon curd, pudding,whatever.

Makes two large Pa-vlovas or 2-3 dozen smallones.

Jack’s chocolatecoveredstrawberriesfor mom

My grandson, Jack,invited me to read to hissecond grade class atGuardian Angels’ school.“If you like, bring in atreat,” his mom, Jessie,said. The only thing I hadon hand was strawber-ries and chocolate, so Imade chocolate dippedstrawberries. Talk abouta hit. The kids wanted to

know how to make them.I told them I’d publishthe recipe for them tomake, and here it is. Easyenough for Jack andother little hands to makefor mom.

1 pound strawberrieswith stems

12 oz. favorite choco-late morsels

Rinse, but do not hullberries. Drain and patcompletely dry. Meltchocolate and removefrom heat while you stillsee some lumps. Stiruntil smooth. Holdingberries by stem, dip 3/4way up. Set on sprayedpan or parchment paper.Put in frig, uncovered, toset. Store, covered, infrig for a day.

Good for you:Make these with dark

chocolate for anti-oxi-dant qualities. Straw-berries are good bonebuilders and good forimmune systems, plusthey contain lots of fiber.

Readers want to know:Cutlery – stamped vs.forged.

The Home BuildersAssociation of NorthernKentucky recently re-leased its data on newhomeconstructionandre-modeling for 2013.

“2013 was a year of re-covery formany in our in-dustry,” saidBrianMiller,executive vice presidentof the Home Builders As-sociation of NorthernKentucky.

“Many of our buildershave been experiencing asignificant improvementin starts. Boone Countycontinues to shine as thefastest growing county asconstruction of singlefamily homes increased30percentover2012.Ken-ton grewamere 3 percent

andCampbellCountycon-tinued to lose ground over2012.

“The availability of de-veloped home sites inBoone County is helpinggrowth at the moment.Therearefewernewcom-munities in Kenton Coun-ty and Campbell is re-strained by geographicalchallenges and availabil-ity of sanitary sewer ser-vices.

“The value of newhomes has increased onaverage just over 11 per-cent in Northern Ken-tuckywhich is close to thenational average,” Millersaid.

“While we are veryhappy to see the market

continue its recovery weare concerned by seriousheadwinds facing our in-dustry including SanitarySewercapacity, the inabil-ity for small builders anddevelopers to secure fi-nancing and the ever in-creasing strangleholdthat environmental regu-lation places upon North-ern Kentucky.”

“I am so happy that I found your office in the telephone book. Ihave a very big fear of the dentist office. I gag easily and I don’t

have any tolerance to pain. I would not get my teeth cleanedor have any other dental work without sedation. I didn’t evenknow that it existed until April of last year. I needed a filling

replaced and I needed my teeth cleaned and I had put it off formany years because of my fear and my gag reflex. I would not

be able to go back to the dentist without sedation.”

They may have justgotten their driver’s li-censes last week, butthey’re the leaders of to-morrow. Whether or notwe’re ready, millennials(workers between theages of 18 and 32) alreadycomprise more than athird of the current work-force, and that number isexpected to reach 75 per-cent by 2025. In fact, mil-lennials are already start-ing to move into positionsof management.

However, many ques-tions about millennials’workforce preparednesshave been raised, due totheir perceived lack of“soft skills,” particularlyaround interpersonalcommunications and rela-tionship-building. Be-

cause millennials havegrown up surrounded bytechnology and socialmedia such as texting,Facebook, and Twitter,they’re very comfortablecommunicating shortbursts of information tolarge groups of people enmasse. However, when itcomes to face-to-facecommunications and abil-ity to work as a team,many companies find thatmillennials’ skills arelacking in theseareas.Un-fortunately, these skillsare not generally taughtin school; they’re learnedon-the-job through obser-vation and mentoring.

The goal of January’sRegional Youth Leader-ship’s Life Skills Session,sponsored by Trans-freight, was to provide aforum where studentscould learn and practice

communication skills thatare essential to the work-force, and to leadershippositions. These skills allrelate to interpersonalcommunication and self-presentation: profession-al introductions, confi-dence and body language.The students learned allabout the importance ofnetworking, and got achance to try out theirnew skill set at the SpeedNetworking Event. Thisevent was supported byabout 25 leaders fromarea companies, includ-ing Toyota, St. Elizabeth,PNC, Northern KentuckyUniversity, Multicraft,Chick-fil-A,CollegeofMt.St. Joseph, and manymore.

The students who par-ticipated found this eventtobeveryvaluable.Onav-erage, they saw a 72 per-

cent increase in knowl-edge, and a 59 percent in-crease in related commu-nication skills, based onpre- and post-surveys.Manyof thecomments re-ceived from students fo-cused on how much theylearned:

»Great way to learnhow to talk to people

»Made me step out ofmy comfort zone

» This was an impor-tant exercise and Ilearned a lot from it

» This day was abouttopics that we don’t coverinschoolorsomethingourparents don’t even thinkto teach us

Feedback from the stu-dents points to the con-tinued need for programssuch as Regional YouthLeadership’s Life SkillsSession to help studentsdevelop the tools and

skills they need for futureprofessional success. Ifmillennials have a venueto improve and practicetheir interpersonal com-munication skills today,they will be betterequipped tomakepositive

contributions as the lead-ers of tomorrow.

The St. Paul’s Episco-pal Church Food Pantry,at 7 Court Place in New-port, is working to helpthe hungry in Newport,Bellevue, Dayton, Wilder,Fort Thomas and South-gate.

The pantry distributesnearly 70,000 pounds offood annually to neigh-bors in need, the equiva-lent of nearly 58,300meals.

“The need in NorthernKentucky, for the mostpart, is out of sight of ev-eryday life,” said DeaconTom Runge of St. Paul’sEpiscopal Church. “Butit’s here. The need hasdefinitely grown. We’reseeing more seniors andmore families with chil-dren.”

To this end, the St.Paul’s Episcopal ChurchFoodPantry’s isagainput-ting together a team for

Early registration byMay13costs $20 (with aT-shirt) or $15. Late regis-tration afterMay13 is $25(with a T-shirt) or $20.

All of themoney raisedgoes toward the agencies’food distribution costs.

Through the 2013 Hun-ger Walk, the St. Paul’sEpiscopal Church FoodPantry raised more than$18,700, the equivalent of

more than 56,100 meals.The pantry’s goal thisyear is to raise $25,000.

Armstrong.

“This is an importantstep towards campuswellness. The policy willmake campus a moreclean and safe environ-ment. We want to give ev-eryone time to prepareand give our task forcetime to instigate supportservices, which is whywechose an effective date ofJune 1. It will also give ustime to work throughchallenges and con-cerns,” said MatthewWebster, Vice presidentof operations & communi-ty affairs atThomasMoreCollege.

Thomas More going tobacco freeQuestion: I think I

found some termites in apile of old firewood.They look like big antswith wings. Do ants everhave wings?

Answer: Yes they do.Warmer weather andspringtime showerssignal termites toemerge and fly into theair to find mates andstart new colonies. Thatis why it is common tosee large numbers ofwinged termitesthroughout the month ofMay.

At first glance, it maybe difficult to distin-guish between swarmingtermites and wingedants. A termite hasstraight antennae, auniform, non-constricted“waist” and four wingsof equal shape andlength. Conversely, awinged ant has elbowedantennae (with a sharpbend), and three distinctbody sections, with anarrow, constricted“waist” and “neck”, andtwo front wings that arelonger and wider thanthe two back wings.

Swarming termitesemerging fromwoodpiles, tree stumps andother outdoor locationsdon’t necessarily in-dicate a home or build-ing infestation.

However, wingedtermites found indoorsusually are a sign of aninfestation that needstreatment. Althoughtermites swarming in-doors die without caus-ing damage, seeing thou-sands of them emergeinside can be an emotion-ally trying experience.Winged termites emerg-

ing fromthe base ofa founda-tion wallor ad-joiningporchesalso usu-ally in-dicate thatthe houseis infestedand re-

quires treatment.Other indications of

termite infestations arepencil-thin mud tubesextending over insideand outside surfaces offoundation walls, piers,sills, floor joists and thelike. Also watch for dam-aged wood hollowed outalong the grain withdried bits of mud or soillining the feeding galler-ies. Often there is nosign of the worker ter-mites that cause damage– small, creamy-whiteinsects with an ant-likeappearance. Infestationscan remain undetectedfor years.

Since eliminatingtermites requires specialskills and equipment, itis best to contact a pestcontrol company ratherthan try to treat for themyourself. Consider call-ing two or three compa-nies to request inspec-tions to determine theextent and approximatecost to treat the termiteproblem. The companyshould be licensed by theKentucky Department ofAgriculture. Member-ship in a state or nationalpest control or manage-ment association in-dicates an establishedfirm. Always ask forreferences.
