Beingfairand impartialandskeptical when consideringfactsand theorieswas themes-sage Reiley ElementarySchool fifth-grade teacherBonita Pack sought to deliverthe108 students whomade sci-ence projects this year.

The school, about a milesouth of Campbell CountyHigh School, conducted a Feb.7 science fair in preparationfor a regional science fair atNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity Saturday, Feb. 22. Eachschool in thearea isable topicktwo representatives for the re-gional fair, Pack said.

The first and second placewinners for fifth grade,AlyssaBaker and EmmaRice, both ofAlexandria, will represent theschool at the regional sciencefair.

The goal of the fair is tospark the students’ curiosity,Pack said.

“It’s a real world thinkingprocess that I just think is im-portant, just the critical think-ing and writing skills,” shesaid.

Students are encouraged tofind questions they want an-swered as the basis for a sci-

ence experiment because thatfuels their interest, she said.

“We want them to be life-long learners,” Pack said.“That’s part of our goal.”

Rice,whose project came insecond place for fifth grade,saidshehasdryskinanddecid-ed to test hand lotions. Sheused dishes of gelatin to testthe length of time differenthand lotions last and moistur-

ize.“TheJello isacting likeyour

skin,” Rice said.She weighed each dish of

gelatin prior to adding a mea-sured coating of hand lotionand then weighed the dishagain multiple times over thecourse of days andweeks.Ricehypothesized denser lotions

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Workon a new connector road fromNorthern Kentucky Universityto AA Highway may begin inspring 2015.

The first phase will be a 1.7-mile road from Johns Hill Roadto Three Mile Road at SunsetDrive, said Nancy Wood,spokeswoman for theKentuckyTransportation Cabinet DistrictSix Department of Highwaysoffice.

The road will be a three-lanehighway, with one lane in eachdirection, a two-way turn lane,curb and gutters and a multi-use path on one side of the road.

The road will parallel Inter-state 275 from MeadowviewApartments on JohnsHill Road,cut across campus behind thesoftball field, through twopark-ing lots off Kenton Drive andbehind the dorms on the northside of campus. It will then turnat Campbell Drive and go be-tween Campbell Hall andNKU’s maintenance building

before connecting to ThreeMile Road at Sunset Drive.

The state is waiting for fed-eral approval of the environ-mental impact of the road be-fore proceeding with right-of-way acquisition and utilities re-location, she said.

There is $17.1 million avail-able from federal earmarkfunds to pay for the project,Wood said. The project remainsin theearly stages ofdesign, theonly part of the project paid forso far.

There is no timetable for asecond phase of a1.83-mile con-nector road downhill fromJohnsHill Road to theAAHigh-way in Wilder, she said.

For NKU, the positive im-pactsof theprojectof improvedaccess outweigh the negativeimpacts of taking some parkingspots and cutting through theback edge of the campus, saidLarry Blake, assistant vicepresident for facilities.

“What it does is get trafficfrom the middle of our campusto the perimeter,” Blake said.

People now have to walkacrossKentonDrive frompark-ing and dorm areas – a busy

FORT THOMAS — There are1,146-acres of wooded land inthe city, and resident BertThomaswants people to consid-er preserving most of thosetrees.

Thomas, chairman of theFort Thomas ForestConservancy, said he foundedthe nonprofit in 2005 to pre-serve as many trees in the cityas possible.

“Ourmission is toprotect theforested hillsides and remain-inggreenspace inFortThomas,and there is a lot of it,” Thomassaid.

Fort Thomas’s 1,146 acres offorest is the largest amount ofwooded acreage of any city inCampbell County, according tothe 2008 Campbell County For-

est Quality Assessment pre-pared by Northern KentuckyUniversity. Wooded areas com-prise31percentof thcity’s 3,661acres.

The conservancy is close thesigning of its first conservationeasement with the city to pre-serve 6.5 acres of RossfordPark in the north end of the city,Thomas said.

Theagreementwillmake theconservancy responsible formaintaining theareaof theparkin the easement area, but thecity will still own the land, hesaid. The idea is to get rid ofhoneysuckle and other invasiveplant species and plant nativeplants and trees.

Fort Thomas City Adminis-trator Don Martin said the cityhas been working with the Con-

The conservancy is setup as a land trust, and canhold land easements inperpetuity or own land, hesaid.

Working with, and notagainst, landowners is thegoal. Property ownerswith a conservation ease-ment can still own, willand even make improve-ments and develop someof the property.

FOREST ACREAGE BY CITYA Forest Quality Assess-

ment was prepared in 2008by Northern KentuckyUniversity’s Center forApplied Ecology, nowcalled the Center for Envi-ronmental Restoration. Thestudy found 39,781 acres offorest in the county. Mu-nicipalities sand the forest-ed acres inside city limits:» Fort Thomas – 3,661

total acres: 1,146 forestedacres, 31 percent.» Alexandria – 3,495

To make up for lostparking, NKU will even-tually expand the parkinggarage off Kenton Drive,Blake said.

The new road will cutoff access to CampbellHall, and the university isworking to comeupwith aplan to reconnect part ofCampbell Road, via abridge or some otherway,to the new connector roadand maintain road accessto Campbell Hall, he said.

For the state, the big-gest issue is approval ofthe federal environmen-tal impact, Blake said. Noright-of-way acquisitionor utility work can startuntil the environmentalimpact is approved.

The state has keptNKU informed about theproject’s progress, Blakesaid.

“We’re very very sup-portive,” he said. “We’vetalked through the right-of-way acquisition.”

It’s expected the envi-ronmental impact will beapproved in time to doutility relocation workthis fall, Blake said.

For thecommunityand

NKU,theeventualbenefitonce the road is completefrom Three Mile Road tothe AA Highway will beeasier access to either by-pass or get to campus, hesaid.

“I think it will have ahuge impact on U.S. 27and Highland Heights ingeneral as far as traffic isconcerned because someof the neighborhoods willbe able to route awayfrom campus,” Blakesaid.

“And it will be anotherroute into the Bank ofKentucky Center to drawpeopleoffU.S.27,”hesaid

A new connector road to Three Mile Road will be built near this softball field on theNorthern Kentucky University campus in Highland Heights.CHRIS MAYHEW/THE COMMUNITY

would last longer.“I concluded my hy-

pothesis about the densitywas correct,” Rice said.

Judges of the projectsincludedAlexandriaMay-or Bill Rachford and a re-tired high school scienceteacher.

Students from Camp-bell County High Schooljudged science fair pro-jects fromstudents inkin-dergarten through third

grade.Reiley has 385 stu-

dents, so more than 25percent of students creat-ed projects this year, saidPrincipal Susan Rath.

Participating in thesci-ence fair ismandatory forfifth-grade students, butoptional for all othergrades. There were evena few kindergarten andfirst-grade students whocreated projects, Rathsaid.

“We really want topush science and mathand the scientific process,and I think having it pre-

pares them for middleschool,” she said.

William Oliver, a re-tired NKU chemistryteacher and one of thecommunity judges, said itis important for studentsto start learningabout sci-ence at an early age. Stu-dents need to understandhow writings and ideaspresented in the mediaand on the Internet aresometimes false or goofy.

Oliver said he was im-pressed by student pro-jects about how colors af-fect the absorption ofheat, and multiple food

testing experiments.One fifth-grader com-

pared brands of root beerby setting up a panel anddoing blind tastings totrack results.

The root beer experi-ment showed an ability tothink creatively, he said.

“The more they do sci-ence and understand thescientific method the bet-ter off we are as a societywhether they become sci-entists or not,” Oliversaid. “One should alwaysbe skeptical of glib expla-nations.”

ALEXANDRIA—Bishop Bros-sartHighSchool’sbowlingteamwrappedup its 2013-2014 seasonat the Region 5 tournament onJan. 28 and 29 at Super BowlBellewood in Newport. Thisyear, the Mustangs bowled to-gether as a team, rather than asa collection of individual bow-lers from the same school.

“Theybowledreallywell andwhat ismore importantwasthatthey supported and encouragedeach other,” said coach JimKlump. “Wemade strides in be-coming a team instead of indi-vidual bowlers.”

At the regional tournament,freshman SamFleissner led theMustangs. He rolled a total of582 in the first three games toadvance to the individual semi-finals. He finished seventh inthe Region, with a five game to-tal of 911.

The top four finishers ad-vanced to a stepladder tourna-ment to decide the regionalchampion. Joe Heim placed13th with a three game total of526, missing the semifinals byjust 21points. Aaron RuschmanandWesHoldenroundedout thescoring for the boys team. Theboys teamearned theNo. 4 seedin the region, but lost to fifth-seed Highlands in the openinground of team play. Still, it wasan improvement on last season,when the boys earned the sev-enth seed in the region beforelosing in the opening round.

“I felt like we did great at re-gionals,” Fleissner said. “Al-though we fell short, we foughthard.”

On the girls side, AllisonSteelman led the way for Bros-sart. She placed 16th with athree game total of 437. LaurenSendelbach and Madison Pro-doehl averaged a three-digitscore. Monica Murray finishedjust shy of that mark, scoring atotal of 294 in her three games.The girls team was also seededfourth, andwas also upset in theopening round of the team tour-nament.Thegirlswereknockedoff by Simon Kenton.

Overall, it was a good seasonfor the Mustangs that couldhave turned out even better.

“We lost so many games thisyearbyafewpins,” saidKlump.“Ifwewouldhavemadejustoneor two more spares in thosegames, they would be wins in-stead of losses.”

The Mustangs graduate sixseniors, but have plenty of tal-ent returning. For underclass-men like Fleissner, the solidshowing in 2014 raises the barfor 2015. Their sights are set onadvancing beyond the regionaltournament next season.

cient in games and prac-tices.”

Another key for theSaints has been theirdepth. Marshall missedthe first twomonthsof theseason with a foot injury.Underclassmen, likefreshman Nate McGov-ney (Campbell County),have emerged into biggerroles.Theirdepthandbal-ance helped the playersremain calm during theearly season swoon.

“We knew thatwith theplayers and leadershipthat we have, we wouldget it on track,” McGov-ney said. The Saints cango 10 or more playersdeep in a game, and havehad four or more playersscore in double figures inthe same game on multi-ple occasions. The Saintsset a school recordwith18made three-pointers -from nine different scor-ers - in a Feb. 8 win overWashington and Jeffer-son.

“Someone takes a dif-ferent role every half, notjust every game,” Coopersaid. “It’s remarkable.”

The Saints assist onmore than 50 percent of

An offseason coachingchange, a brutally diffi-cult schedule, and a slowstart could have easily ledto a rebuilding season forthe ThomasMore Collegemen’sbasketball team. In-stead the Saints’ five sen-iors and first-year headcoach Drew Cooper ral-lied together and turnedthe season around. Afterstarting the season 2-9,the Saints entered the fi-nal week of the regularseason with a 12-10 markand a chance to earn atleast a share of the Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence championship.

“Sure, therewasdoubt.Things are going to besecond-guessed any timea team starts the season2-9,”Coopersaid. “It’snat-ural towonder ifyou’reonthe right path. Being a

first-year coach askingveteran players to makechanges and to changephilosophies is tough.”

The leadership of sen-iors Brandon Housley(Holmes), JosefMarshall,Spencer Berlekamp, EliotPipes, and D’Carlo Hayeshas been instrumental tothe Saints’ turnaround.Thomas More won 10 ofits first11conferencecon-tests before falling atThiel on Feb. 15.

“We remained pa-tient,” Housley said. “Weknew that we would startto peak down the line.”

The seniors take ac-countability for morethan their own perfor-mance. They feel an obli-gation to help the under-classmenadapt to thenewsystem and style of playunder Cooper’s staff.They want to teach theirteammates how to workhard, both on and off thecourt.

“As seniors, we have tobe on the same page andfully understand the of-fensive and defensivesystems,” Housley said.“It’s our job to make theunderclassmenmore effi-

their made field goals,and average 16 assistscompared to just 12 turn-overs per game. Theteam’s field goal percent-age is better than last sea-son’s, and has steadily im-proved over the course ofthis season. The playerstake pride in their unself-ishness.

“We have great team-work and we love to passthe ball,” McGovney said.“We’re just as happy toget an assist as we are toscore.”

TMC enters the finalweek in third place in thePAC, behind Bethany andSt. Vincent. The Saintstravel to Bethany on Feb.19 and host St. Vincent inthe regular season finaleon Feb. 22. They realizethat their patience haspaid off and theynowcon-trol their own destiny asthey seek the program’sfirst regular season con-ference title since 2009.

“We are playing veryunselfish basketball andare getting uncontestedshots,” Cooper said. “Theplayers have seen whatwe’re starting to do isworking.”

RADICAL ROBOTICS

Campbell County High School’s engineering class students, Noah Vaniglia and Andrew Kiddy, recentlyreceived third place in the programming division at the Vex Robotics Tournament. This ranked theirteam tied for 99th out of 10,000 teams in the world. It also qualifies them for state competition.THANKSTO RON ROSEL

The spirit of John Scopes re-cently descended upon our be-loved Bluegrass in the form ofdebate between Creation Mu-seumfounderKenHamandBillNye, the Science Guy.

Nothing like a good debate torouse the troops comfortablyentrenched in their intellectualfoxholes (two-thirds of Ameri-cans identify more or less asevolutionists and one-third ascreationists according to a re-cent Pew survey). Verbal barbsbetween camps have been trad-ed since the famous “MonkeyTrial” sparked by Scopes – a na-tive Kentuckian by the way.

Nye’s participation interest-ingly drew the ire of evolution-ary scientists who likened it tointellectual condescension on

par with debat-ing Cro-Ma-gnon. Nye con-tends that ad-herence to evo-lution isintegral if notfoundational togood science.Never mindthat the Bibli-cal worldviewheld by Pas-teur, Pascal,

Copernicus and Newton didn’timpede their scientific pur-suits. Nor did it inhibit modernscientist Raymond Damadianfromdiscoveringmagnetic res-onance imagingasHampointedout.

There is no doubt in Nye’s

mind that the universe is reallyold and began with a Big Bang,yet he couldn’t answer wherethe consciousness that allowshim to think that thought comesfrom in the first place. To exaltscience as the arbiter of alltruth and reality is to coronatescientific man as more power-ful than he really is.

Scientists are people. Peopleare finite. By definition, a finitecreature is limited in his know-ing. Even his observations arelimited by the constraints of thehuman condition and subject tochange with the gathering ofnew information. This is not anexcuse to be ignorant. It is in-stead a challenge to temper hu-manity with a good dose of hu-mility – the kind on par needed

by the afflicted Jobwhen indig-nant with God over his suffer-ing. God responded, “Wherewere you when I laid the foun-dation of the earth? Tell me, ifyou have understanding. Whodetermined its measurements-—surely you know!” (Job38:4-5a)

Evolution has yet to explainwhere matter and energy comefrom and how living thingsspring from non-living matter.It has not answered where in-telligence or morality comefrom.

And it is completely silent inexplaining how “survival of thefittest” comports with compas-sion and care for the sick anddying–of total strangers.Theseconundrums are evolving the

debate and raise questions ofwho and what makes us humananyway.

Science has helped us great-ly understand our physicalworld.

Coupled with technology, ithas helped to make life betterand more livable. It has foughtdisease and hunger and elimi-nated many toilsome burdens.It can measure the chemicalmakeup of our bodies but it can-not tell us what comprises thesoul. Science is goodbut it is notGod.

When you talk aboutmedicalbreakthroughs, a cure for can-cer rises to the top.

While a cure for cancer is yetto be discovered, we have a toolto prevent certain types of can-cer – theHPVvaccine. Yet, vac-cination rates for pre-teens,who are recommended to getthe three-dose series, are sur-prisingly low.

TheCentersforDiseaseCon-trol and Prevention found thatonly 33 percent of girls and 8percent of boys had been fullyvaccinated in 2012 (the rate forboys is lower because the vac-cine was more recently recom-mended for them).

HPV is short for human pap-illomavirus. About 79 millionpeople in the United States,most in their teens and early20s, are infected with HPV.

Not only does HPV cause al-most all cervical cancers inwomen, it is also responsible forother types of cancer. HPVcauses cancer in a variety ofplaces in both men and women,including the mouth/throat,anus and genitals.

In the United States eachyear, there are about 18,000women and 7,000 men affectedby HPV-related cancers. Ken-tucky has the eighth highestrate of cervical cancer in thecountry.

So how do we improve ourvaccination rates so we canchange this trend?

Timing is important: HPVvaccination is recommended atage 11 or 12. Because the HPVvirus can be spread throughsexual activity, the vaccine of-fers thegreatesthealthbenefitsto individuals who receive allthree doses before having anytype of sexual activity.

Eleven and 12 year olds arealready required to get otherimmunizations: a Tdap to pro-tect against tetanus, diphtheriaand pertussis; and a meningitisvaccine.

The first dose of HPV cansafely and easily be given dur-ing the same visit as the othertwo shots (and odds are theamount of protest or eye-rollingfrom your pre-teen won’t risetoo drastically from shot No. 2to No. 3).

We’re miss-ing opportuni-ties for HPVvaccination,though.Nation-ally, 74 percentof pre-teensgot a Tdap vac-cination and 84percent got onefor meningitis.Let’s not thinkof HPV vacci-nation as op-

tional – the benefits are far toogreat for families todelayorde-cline this vaccination.

Cost was once a concern, butit is no longer. The vaccine iscovered byMedicaid and manyhealth insurance plans. For theuninsured the vaccine can beexpensive, but through a spe-cial grant, the health depart-ment is offering the vaccine tothose ages19 to 26years for just$4 per dose at our county healthcenters and those 18 and undercanreceive thevaccine throughthe Vaccines for Children pro-gram.

Many parents hesitate togive their son or daughter theHPVvaccine because theywor-ry itmightencouragesexual ac-tivity.

A study in Pediatrics re-leased this month found thatgetting the HPV vaccinationdoes not lead to riskier sexualactivity among young women.Previous studies have alsoshown that the HPV vaccine isnot linked to increased promis-cuity at an earlier age.

As it is with so many otherconditions, vaccination is thebest prevention tool available.Consider this: If 80 percent ofpre-teens were vaccinatedagainstHPV,we’dprevent4,400future cases of cervical cancerand1,400 cancer deaths. Simplyput, the HPV

vaccine is cancer preven-tion. Help protect your son ordaughter by making sure thathe/she gets all three doses ofHPV vaccine, starting at age 11or 12.

“We’ve run the SpiralStakes in 70 degrees andwe’ve run it in snow,” saidTurfway Park generalmanager Chip Bach. “Af-ter dealing with the polarvortex during our racingseason this year, we thinkMother Nature owes usone of those 70 degree

days. If she cooperates,we’ll open the sides of thetent and let the party spillout right up to the rail.Watching horses thunderaround the final turn isone of the most excitingmoments of any race, andthat’s especially true for arace that sends a starterto the Derby.”

TheVIP tent is the see-and-be-seen party at theHorseshoeCasinoCincin-nati Spiral Stakes, and

Derby-worthy fashion isde rigueur. The $175ticket includes the grandbuffet, premium openbar, racing program,commemorative glass,luxury shopping venuessuch as Fabulous Fursand Triple Crown Hats,prize drawings and liveentertainment by danceand party band TheChuck Taylors.

The VIP tent also is apopular venue for corpo-rate entertaining, with ta-bles for 10 available for$1,750.

Turfway’s five-storygrandstandoffersarangeof other reserved options,including buffet, pan-oramic views of the trackand handicapping sta-tionswith individual TVs,from $25 to $80.

My friend, CharleneCastle, known as the dum-plin’queenaroundhere, isa Southern girl whomakes her dumplingswith soft, self-rising flourand hot water. She doesn’tuse measuring cups; sheuses special bowls likeher mom. Real heirloom

cooking.“Roll themout, putthem in thechickenand broth.They’llthicken it,”she said.

I makedumplings,too, butmine are

the kind you scoop up andplop on top of soup orstew. Fun to make.

Granddaughter Eva,almost 6, is pretty good atmaking these dumplings.It won’t be long before Igether little sis,Emerson,up on the stool to help, aswell.

No-peek herbeddumplings

First, have your soup,steworevencannedbrothboiling. I like to put theseon top of chicken soup.Thesecret tofluffydump-lings? Don’t peek!

1 cup all-purpose flour,spooned lightly into cupand leveled off

11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste

1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded

3 tablespoons butter

Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt together.Add parsley. Make a wellin center. Heat milk withbutter until butter melts.Pour into well and mix.Dough will look sort ofshaggy. Add a bit moremilk, if necessary. Don’tover mix. Sometimesthere’s a bit of dry mix-ture in the bottom of thebowl. Just leave it. Turnheat down on soup to sim-mer. Use an ice creamscoop sprayed with cook-ing spray to drop dump-lings carefully on top ofliquid, leaving space inbetween for expansion.Put lid on. No peeking!Simmer anywhere from 8to 10 minutes, or untillargest dumpling is done:cut in half to test. Dump-ling will be cookedthrough and not soggy inmiddle. Dumplings ex-pand to double or even tri-

ple. Depending upon size,you’ll get eight or more.

Motor vehicle repairscontinue to top the list ofconsumer complaints re-ceived by the Ohio Attor-ney General. In mostcases, that office is verylimited in its ability tohelp solve the consumerproblems.

That’s why Ohio StateSen.JoeUecker (R-MiamiTownship) has introducedlegislation that would re-quire mechanic repair fa-cilities to be licensed.Right now there are morethan 4,000 such repairshops operating withoutany oversight. Only body

repairshops arecurrentlylicensed inOhio.

“Thisbill will notonly levelthe playingfield, it willalso pro-tect con-

sumers by ensuring busi-nesses have proper liabil-ity insurance shouldsomethinghappen to theirvehiclewhile at the repairshop,” Uecker said.

The state licensing

agencywouldalsohelpre-solve complaints filed byvehicle owners, such asKimberly Thorpe of Lib-erty Township. She wastold she needed a new en-gine forher2004ChryslerSebring.So, she took it toarepair shop where, shesaid, it sat formore than ayear.

Thorpeeventually tookthevehicle to adealershipand was told some partsweremissing. In addition,she was told a new enginewould cost $5,500 to$6,000 – yet she had al-ready spent more than

two-thirds that amountwith that first repair shop.

Thorpe says she gavethat first shop owner onemore chance to fix the ve-hicle, but she never gother engine. Instead shehas parts in the back seatand the trunk of her vehi-cle, but no engine underthe hood.

Angel Hale-Frater, ofBlue Ash, is also upsetwith the dealership towhich she took her over-heating SUV. She paid$1,500 for the repair but,after getting it back, shediscovered the SUV wasstill overheating. She re-turned the vehicle to thedealership and said themanager told her, “Wemake mistakes all thetime.” Then she was toldnewrepairsneededwouldcost nearly double whatshe had already paid.

“If they had presented

me with, ‘Your car needsupwards of $2,000 plus ofwork,’ I would have said,‘No.’ I bought it sevenyears ago, it had 35,000miles on it, its now got130,000 miles,” Hale-Fra-ter said.

Fortunately, after fil-ing a complaint with me,the dealership agreed todeduct the cost of thatfirst repair from Hale-Frater’s second bill. How-ever, she still ended uppaying more than $2,000for the repairs.

Uecker said he hopesthe repair shop licensinglegislation will be passedby the end of this year. Isuggested, and the legis-lature will consider, re-quiring shop owners topost a small bond. Thatwouldassurevehicleown-ers get compensatedshould there be a problemcollecting from a repair

shop“The board could veri-

fy and monitor compli-ance with state laws, giv-ing consumers the abilityto identify those servicecenters that are regis-tered. Every Ohioan de-serves to feel confidentthat repairs on their vehi-cles are performed safelyand professionally,”Uecker said.

No such licensing iscurrently required inKentucky. If you’d like toexpress your feelingsabout the billwrite to Sen-.Joe Uecker at [email protected].

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!

Question: Someonetold me it’s a good idea tothrow down grass seed ontop of the snow, and it willgrow in the spring. Is thattrue?

Answer: We recom-mend cool-season grasseshere, includingbluegrass,

the fes-cues, andperennialrye grass.We don’trecom-mendthrowingdown grassseed on thesnow, sincethat leadsto very un-

even seed distributionwhen the snows melt andwater runs down slopesand off the lawn. Howev-er, as soon as the snowmelts and the ground isnot too wet, it’s fine to goahead and scatter grassseed over your lawn to dosome over-seeding. Mid-February through lateMarch is a good time tosow cool-season grassseed.

Once the ground is nolonger frozen or muddy,you can even rent a slitseeder to get good seed tosoil contact as well as amore uniform distribu-tion of seed. Early Marchseedings usually havefewer problems withweed competition thanApril/May seedings.

Problem lawns inNorthern Kentucky withshade, poor soil, or heavytraffic should almost al-ways be established withtall fescue. Fine (red) fes-cue and perennial ryegrass also have some lim-ited uses in lawns. Blue-grass seeds take muchlonger to germinate, andeventually thatch buildupcanbecomeaproblem,re-quiring de-thatching.

Do a soil test (freethrough your local North-ern Kentucky county ex-tension service) now todetermine the exact limeand fertilizer needs ofyour lawn. Excess limecan result in poornutrientuptake. Only by havingyour soil tested will youknow whether or not youshould add lime, phospho-rus and potassium to yourlawn soil.

Ideally, seeding of newlawns should be done intoloose, prepared soil. Seed-ing is usually done with arotary seeder or the usualdrop-type seed and fertil-izer spreader.

To determine the prop-er seeding rates, ask for acopy of Cooperative Ex-tension publication, “Se-lecting the Right Grass

for Your Kentucky Lawn(AGR-52).” For uniformdistribution, divide theseed into two equal lots.

The second lot shouldbe seeded at right anglesto the first.Cover theseedby raking lightly or roll-ing with a water-ballastroller. Mulch the areawith clean straw. Themulch covering should bethin enough to exposeabout 50 percent of thesoil surface, whichmeansusing about one bale ofstraw per 1,000 squarefeet of area.

If snows and rainscease, water the newgrass seedlings often, butlightly.

Forweedcontrol, referto Cooperative Extensionpublication, “Weed Con-trol Recommendationsfor Kentucky Bluegrassand Tall Fescue Lawnsand Recreational Turf(AGR-78).”

Have you ever stoppedto think about all thethings that feed us?

I’m not just talkingabout nutrition. We usefood to fill our stomachs,but we use other things tofeed us aswell.We use re-lationships, jobs, books,shows and apps. They allserve a purpose to feedour emotions and meetour needs in some way.And when asked, wemight say we can’t livewithout them, but thetruth is, we can. It wouldbegut-wrenching to lose aspouse, child, or parentfor sure, and our liveswould be foreverchanged, but physicallyour bodies would survive.The same is not true forfood. Our bodies need nu-trition to function. Itwould be physically im-possible for us to survivefor a long period withoutfood.

Interestingly, we’retold in two distinct placesintheBible thatfood isnotthe only thing we need tosurvive. In Deuteronomy8:3 and Matthew 4:4 (alsoin Luke 4:4), we are told,“It is written that manshall not live by breadalone, but by every wordthat proceeds from themouth of the Lord.”

Now if this is true,many of us are dying to-day. We try to sustain ourlives through self-helpbooks,TVshows,relation-ships, gym memberships.None of which are hurtfulin and of themselves, butnonecan sustainusunlessthey are coupled withGod’s word. Not to men-

tion, ifyou haveever losta lovedone, thenyou knowall toowell thateven themostwonder-ful rela-tionship

has an ending on thisEarth.

So many of us need afresh start today; we aredesperate for a new life, anew approach, a new wayof thinking. If you’re look-ing for a fresh start today,look in the book of James;“Every good gift and ev-ery perfect gift is fromabove, and comes downfrom the father of lights,withwhomthere isnovar-iation or shadow of turn-ing.” (James 1:17).

In other words, Godhas great and perfectgifts waiting for all whowant a relationship withhim. There is no one likehimand he never changesand he never leaves.

May you be blessedwith the gift of experienc-ing a fresh start andanewrelationship this week.
