Campbell County —

Tracking the source ofthe holiday train exhibitat Cincinnati’s KrohnConservatory leadsback to an imaginative

Campbell County company.Applied Imagination, on

Poplar Thicket Road south ofAlexandria, creates gardenrailway exhibits filled withmodels of landmarks madewith natural materials, includ-ing acorns and tree bark, forbotanical gardens around theU.S.

The New York BotanicalGarden Train Show and year-round display at the U.S. Bo-tanic Garden in Washington,D.C., are two of the more thandozengardenrailwayscreatedby the company, said CindyJohnson, a botanical architectfor the company.

The Krohn Conservatory’sA Cincinnati Scenic Railwayexhibit is open through Jan. 5.

Putting the Krohn displayup takes about a week, and un-like out-of-town displays, it’seasy forpeople to seewhatAp-plied Imagination doesthroughout the year, Johnsonsaid.

“There’s a couple of dis-plays where we get a little in-teraction with the public andone of those is the Krohn be-

cause it is our hometown dis-play,” she said.

Owner Paul Busse foundedthe company with four em-ployees in1991, capitalizing onhis love ofmodel trains. Bussehad been building garden rail-way exhibits since 1975, in-cluding one for the 1982 OhioState Fair.

There are at least 10 full-timeemployeesworkingoutofthe shop next to his home nearAlexandria, and as many as 25employees working when ex-hibits are being set up and tak-en down, Johnson said.

Busse is trying to retire, but

he still comes into the shopandto the openings of some exhib-its.

“It’s his life’s work,” John-son said. “It’s what he enjoyed.He didn’t take vacations be-cause what would you do on avacation?”

Johnson said the companycontinues Busse’s vision ofshaping models of landmarksusing only plant partswhetherit’s theStatueofLibertyorCin-cinnati’s TylerDavidson Foun-tain. On a house, roof shinglesare made of bark from an old

ALEXANDRIA — City leadersannexed1.5acres into thecity inpreparation for rezoning to al-low Baptist Life Communitiesto build a $40millionmultistorydevelopment.

Baptist Life Communities, anursing homeand senior careprovider basedin Erlanger, pur-chased morethan 10 acres onthe northeasternedge of Alexan-dria, on thesouthwest quad-rant of the inter-

section ofKy. 9, or theAAHigh-way, and Ky. 709, also known asthe AA Connector.

According to City AttorneyMike Duncan, approximately1.5 acres of that property waswithin Alexandria’s city limitsfor a while, but it needed to beannexed for development of theentire parcel.

“According to the property

valuation administration rec-ords, this property was as-sessed and considered to be inthe city of Alexandria for fouror five years,” said Duncan.“Apparently, at some point intime, the property valuation ad-ministrator determined it wasnot in the city, therefore, weneedtobring (it)back in thecityso we can rezone it, so we’re an-nexing this property.”

All City Council memberswere present, and annexationwas approved unanimously.

Mayor Bill Rachford said hesupports the project.

Baptist Life Communitiesplans to break ground in springor summer 2014 to build a state-of-the-art residential facilityfor more than 200 seniors re-quiring various levels of healthcare.

Thepublichearingforrezon-ing the property fromHighwayCommercial to a new zone forContinuing Care RetirementCommunity will be held onTuesday, Dec. 17.

oak tree, pieces of bam-boo are columns, and hy-drangea stems are deco-rative window trim.

“What we do that’sunique in this world is wemake all of our buildingsoutofallbotanicalmateri-al, out of leaves and sticksand acorns and twigs andthings out of spice jarsand plant material thatpeople sendus fromFlori-da,” she said.

The botanic nature ofthe models makes Ap-plied Imagination’s worka good fit for the KrohnConservatory and botanicgardens, Johnson said.

Beth Laskey, also a bo-tanical architect, wascleaning grime off themodel of the Frank LloydWright’s Romeo and Ju-liet Windmill from Talie-sin in SpringGreen,Wisc.The windmill model is ondisplay in the summer aspart of theChicagoBotan-ic Garden’s outdoor gar-den railway.

Laskey said part of thecompany’swork is repair-ing the model buildingsthey create for outdoordisplays. The buildingsare washed, and then thepolyurethane protectiveclear coating is scrapedaway, she said.

“Then we look to seewhateverpieces aremiss-ing, like there’s somepieces of bark missing

here,” Laskey said.Johnson said the staff

enjoys seeing people atthe Krohn Conservatoryinteractingwith the trainsand models created in theshop in Alexandria, John-son said.

“So, we get to see thelittle kids jumping up anddown and hollering forThomas,” Johnson said.

The train displays en-gagetheadultsasmuchasthe children, she said.

“Some of the grownups get these really inter-esting expressions ontheir faces,”Johnsonsaid.“And if you ask they’ll tellyou a story about modeltrains in their basementor the train trip they tookwith their grandmotherback in the 1940s. Theyget a wistful expressionand you realize you’rebringing back good mem-ories for themand it’s a lotof fun to be part of that.”

dery said hewas glad Cin-dyMinter, the county’s di-rector of planning andzoning, has experiencewith flood zones and canhelp explain the changesto property owners.

“Because it’s going tobe a big problem for peo-ple who live in the floodplain if it all continues tounfold the way it is sup-posed to,” Pendery said.

Minter said there is aneffort at the federal levelto delay changes made bythe 2012 reform act that issupposed to go into effectin 2014. The scheduledchanges will start elimi-nating subsidies and dis-counts on some flood in-surance policies, she said.

“Basically, as part ofthe reform act, the poli-cies are being updated toreflect the full risk rates,”Minter said.

Asof2004, the last timethe county compiled a re-port on flooding, about600 properties were inflood hazard zones, she

said.The national average

forpolicies receiving sub-sidies is 20 percent, butabout 51 percent of floodinsurance policies inCampbell County receivesubsidies, Minter said.

The reform act de-clared subsidies and dis-counts were no longersustainable.

“They are going to in-crease the rates to moreaccurately reflect therisk, and so they are goingto be phasing out the sub-sidies and the discounts,”she said.

Property owners arescheduled to begin losing25 percent of their subsi-dies each year until theyare gone for any non-pri-mary residence, businessoranyresidencewithase-vere or repetitive flood

hazard designation.“On average I will

share with you that gov-ernmentsubsidizedinsur-ance premiums are abouthalf of what the full riskrate is,” Minter said.

Changes in the reformact alsomeananyonebuy-ing property in a floodzone will immediatelyhave to pay the full cost ofthe policy, and will not beeligible for discounts orsubsidies the previousowner was receiving,Minter said.

Anyone letting theirflood insurance policylapse by making a latepayment will also have toimmediately start payingthe full amount of the pol-icy as well, she said.

People need to makesure they know and findout their flood risk, Mint-

er said.The county’s planning

office at 1098 MonmouthSt., Newport, also hasprinted flood zone maps,including the 2014 mapsthat will not be online atwww.fema.gov untilMarch 4, Minter said.

A property’s elevation,flood elevation, and anymitigation actions peoplecan take to control flood-ing and potentially lowertheir rate are also thingsthey need to consider, shesaid. Minter said peopleshould make sure to talkto their insurance agentabout theirproperty if it isin flood hazard zone.

“Every property is in aflood zone, the real ques-tion is are you in a specialflood hazard zone,” shesaid.

ALEXANDRIA — DavidSayers lights up when hethinks of Christmas.

He lights up his houseat 8511 Tulipwood Court,along with his yard and a20-foot tall mega-tree,made entirely of lightswhich display Christmas

charac-ters,wordsandsym-bols.

Say-ers usedhis reg-ularper-sonal

home computer to run alight show synchronizedwith music at his home inSilver Grove in 2007. Butsince then he has movedto Alexandria andswitched 13,500 incandes-cent lights for 1,000“smart” pixel lights thatcan create 255 differentcolors.

He started back in thesummer, designing thelight show by program-ming each individual pix-el to coordinate with eachsecond of 12 differentChristmas songs, and in-stalling hooks around hishouse to hold the lights inplace. He also set up aFacebook page for TheSayers Family HolidayLight Show.

All 50 sections of lightsand the accompanyingmusic run off12-volt pow-er controllers, which hebuilt himself, and his

home computer with fourscreens he uses to moni-tor outside visitors, checkthedisplayandkeep trackof the different songs.

"It’s not unusual tospend 35 hours sequenc-ing the lights for a three-minute song,” said Say-ers. “It’s a lot more com-plex, because instead ofone set of lights I have toprogram each one forwhat to do and what colorto be.”

With the incandescentlights, Sayers had wiredtogether individualstrands of red, green andblue lights in order tomake different colors.

Sayers also arrangedfor intermittent visitsfrom Santa in one of theupstairs bedroom win-dows.

“Santa in the windowwas a last-minute deci-sion. I’m so glad I did it,”he said. “He stops in tomake sure you’re behav-ing while you’re watchingthe lights.”

He uses commercialsoftware on DMX com-mands, a programmablelighting system used fortheater lighting and mu-sic concerts.

“This was a whole dif-ferent experience,” saidSayers. “I just love doingit, and I love to see thekids’ faces pressedagainst the car windows,and, also, to see their par-ents’ faces pressed upagainst the car windows.”

Cars line up outside,and drivers tune the radioto 95.5 where Sayers’ 42-minute Christmas pro-

gram plays.Neighbors, like 16-

year-old Adam Morgan,walk over and listen ontheir phones.

“I just think it’s kind ofcool,” he said. “I’ve neverseen anybody do anythinglike that.”

Neighbor Alisha Stahlhas to stop every night onher way home with her 3-year-old son, Timothy.

“He likes the Grinchthe best,” she said.

Stahl saidvisitors com-ing to see the lightshaven’t been a nuisance.But then, “not too manypeople know about it yet.”

The Sayers FamilyHolidayLight Showstartsat 5:30p.m. eachnight, go-ing to 10 p.m. Sundaysthrough Thursdays anduntil 11 p.m. on Fridaysand Saturdays.

ALEXANDRIA —With 144 stu-dents, Campbell County High

School Band ofPride has be-come the state’sbiggest march-ing band north ofLexington andamong the sixbiggest in Ken-tucky.

The numbersare almost dou-

blewhatwas in theband–75– in2008, a year after Nick Littletook over as director of bands.

Success has followed the in-crease in size with a 10th placefinish at the Kentucky MusicEducators Association statecompetition in October.

“This is the best we’ve donesince 2005,” he said. “We madesemifinals for the first timesince 2005.”

The Band of Pride competesat level 5A, the biggest andtoughest division, Little said.There was a reason the bandtook a two year absence fromKMEA state competition.

“There was a while that wedidn’t even go to KMEA be-cause we weren’t good enoughto, so we just took a break,” hesaid. “Andwewent back in 2007and it’s taken us this long to get

back into the semifinals.”The Band of Pride was

among four Kentucky schoolbands to make finals in a Bandsof America regional competi-tion, a national level contest, hesaid. The other schools fromKentucky to qualify for Bandsof America were BeechwoodHigh School in Fort Mitchell,Paul Laurence Dunbar HighSchool in Lexington, and NorthHardin High School in Eliza-bethtown.

Successhasalso trickled intothe school’s three ensemblegroups, winter percussiondrumming and winter guardcompetitive groups, he said.There are 190 students in allband programs – about 10 per-cent of students enrolled at theschool, Little said.

Thewinterpercussiondrum-ming group and other specialtygroups allow students to chooseto get involved at any level theychoose, he said. Some studentsplay sports and are only inmarching band; others are in-volved in marching band andspecial ensembles.

Students are passionateabout the music, and that’s whyall the band programs havegrown, he said.

“If the kids weren’t pushingtohavea jazzbandorpushing tohave a great winter percussionor winter guard we wouldn’t do

it, I mean it’s all studentdriven,” Little said.

Campbell County has sup-port from parent boosters andadministrators in the district,Little said.

“We really feel it’s just a spe-cial time to be a part of this pro-gram,” Little said. “As success-ful as it is we’re just gettingstarted. We’re not remotely fin-

ished with what we’re trying toaccomplish and the kids knowthat and they’re excited to be apart of it.”

Leah Trutschel of Alexan-dria, said placing 10th in statecompetition was a perfect wayto conclude her three years inmarching band. Trutschel saidjoining marching band was agood decision, and she recom-

mends the experience to otherstudents.

“I’ve made so many newfriends,” she said. “And it justmadehigh school somuchmoreawesome because until thatpoint I had done absolutelynothing, no extracurricular ac-tivities or anything and this is areally really good experience.”

Park plan is for the birdsI feel compelled to protest

the proposed – and passed – res-olution toallowhuntingofCana-dian geese at A.J. Jolly Park theentire month of January. I feelthe people (taxpayers) of thecounty should have had a voteon whether this was the mostappropriate action that couldbetaken for the supposed problemposed by excessive goose ex-crement in the park.

It appears that a secretive,private group, called the A.J.Jolly Development Commis-sion, has taken over the respon-sibilities of deciding how thepark should be utilized. Since asfar as I know these people havenot been appointed, like mem-bers of other boards in the area,or voted in, they should not besetting policy without publichearings. The first public hear-ing for the hunt is slated forDec. 18, but the decision has al-ready been made to have thehunt. Signs are already erected

around the park warning of theimpending gunfire.

I have always felt that theprimary purpose of parks is toallow people to have a rare op-portunity to experience nature;I love walking in the park andwatching the geese take flight,and glide along the water. It’struly magnificent. If we’re go-ing to eliminate all forms of na-ture that are any kind of nui-sance to any person, we willsoon have no species sharingthis earth with us.

There are many less drasticways to deter geese than killingthem; all the judge executiveshad to do was check a few web-sites offered by such organiza-tionsas theAudobonSociety. In-stead, they chose themost dras-tic, heartless, but probablymost popular (with local hunt-ers) method of dealing with theproblem. What will it be next,shoot dogs that leave their ex-crement in the park?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

St. Vincent de Paul volun-teers visit the homes of neigh-bors in need and experience theheart-wrenching effects of pov-erty first hand. When a familyslips into distress, the pain is al-most tangible.

Amother who lives in aWestSide Cincinnati neighborhood,worn down by worry becauseher utility bill is late and herchildren are sleeping on thecold floor. An adult man on thebrink of tears because his chil-drenhavenothing to eat for din-ner in their small city apart-ment. An elderly couple, livinginanEastSidesuburb, forced todecide between losing theirhome and foregoing their life-saving prescription medica-tions.

Our communities have expe-rienced a lot of changes thisyear: food stamp cuts, healthcare changes, and an economythat seems to be turning aroundforsome,buthas leftmanyfam-ilies behind. We see the directeffects of these changes firsthand each day, the most devas-tating being the impact on chil-dren.

Christmas is the time ofhope, love and miracles. Thereare few experiences in the lifeof a parent that can match see-ing the joy and excitement onthe face of your children open-ing presents on Christmas

morning. Butfor parents inone out of fivelocal familiesin the GreaterCincinnati areawho are livingin poverty,Christmas canalso be a timeof hopeless-ness and de-spair. The par-

ents we visit struggle year-roundtoprovidenotonly theba-sic necessities for their chil-dren, but also the sense ofstability and security that is soimportant to the well-being andhealthy development of a child.Every day, our volunteers visitthe homes of parents who workmultiple part-time jobs so theycan keep food on the table, orwho have sold the last of theirpossessions so that they cankeep the lights on.

Imagine, then, the pit in thestomach of the parent who, inspite of their best efforts, has toexplain to their children whySantaClauswasn’t able tomakeit to their house this year. AChristmas present representssomuchmore than a simple toy.It is a symbol of stability in atime of turmoil, of love and joyin a time of crisis. For the childand the parent alike, a Christ-mas present can mean the dif-

ference between hope and de-spair.

When our volunteers delivergifts to the homes of neighborsin need, they are blessed to wit-ness what one act of kindnesscanmean toa struggling family.Achildgigglingwith joyas theybounce on their new bed, amother with tears streamingdown her face as her children’sChristmas gifts are carried intoher home, a family gathered to-gether on Christmas morningwith hope for a brighter newyear.

You can inspire hope andmake love grow in the hearts ofa family in need this Christmasby:

» Supporting Food From theHeart the next time you visit alocal Kroger. Ask your child topick out their favorite non-per-ishable food and place it in thebarrel at the door.

»Making adonation in honorof a loved one this Christmas. Agift of $100 will provide a bedfor a child sleeping on the floor.A donation of $50 will providegifts for a child this Christmas.

Gridlock in Washington,D.C., has often caused thebusiness community to won-der if we could ever see pro-gress on issues that couldhelpour businesses or communi-ties move forward. Increas-ing our energy independence,immigration reform, and taxreform need to be in the de-bate. Unfortunately, we won-

der if our fed-eral officialscould agreethat the sky isblue. There isno willing-ness to col-laborate toreach mean-ingful solu-tion – just adigging in ofheels.

Frankfort,however, is not Washington.As we head into the 2014 Gen-eral Assembly and we havereasons for optimism.

Lastyear’sGeneralAssem-bly saw lawmakers come to-gether to solve some of themost pressing issues facingKentucky’s future. Ourschools don’t receive enoughfundstobuytextbooksforstu-dents; our roads and bridgesare deteriorating and criticalpublic investments needs areunable to be met. More than$30 billion in unfunded liabil-ity to the public pension sys-tem limits the state frommeetingmanyof these obliga-tions. If thiswereWashington,there would no doubt havebeen a breakdown along polit-ical party lines and no resolu-tions. But Frankfort is notWashington and the GeneralAssembly worked with Gov.Beshear to make progress onthe pension issue. Althoughthe issue still needs somework, we are much closerthan ever before to a sustain-able fix.

What the 2013 General As-semblyshowedwas thatelect-ed officials could come to-gether to be problem solvers.It’s what we should all expect.

Seeing this collaboration

gives us confidence thatFrankfort will come togetheragain in 2014. For our busi-nesses and communities inNorthern Kentucky, the fol-lowing issues need to be ad-dressed:

» The Bridge. We’ve seenunprecedented collaborationbetween governors Beshearand Kasich, and look to ourN.Ky. caucus towork todevel-op a fair financing plan.Enough talk. The time is nowto move forward for the safe-ty of our residents, health ofour businesses and the re-gion’s competitiveness.

» Taxmodernization.Toat-tract new jobs and retain ex-isting ones, the Common-wealth must put into place atax code that reflects a 21stcentury economy. Many goodrecommendations are on thetable so it’s time to act.

» New revenue throughexpanding gaming. Gaming isalready here. For NorthernKentucky gaming is as closeas one mile across the OhioRiver. Give people the chanceto vote on whether we keepour dollars here or send themto neighboring states to pavetheir roads and build theirschools.

Being a legislator is hardwork. Unlike Washington, it’sa part-time job. Legislatorshave full-time jobs backhomewith other responsibilities,but give those up each Janu-ary to represent us in Frank-fort. Leading into this session,let’s take a minute to recog-nize that Frankfort is not D.C.

In Frankfort, our legisla-ture has learned the benefitsof working together ratherthan have partisan debatesthatonlyharmconstituents. Ifyou see a legislator, thankthemfor theirservice,andtellthem you look forward to see-ing the same level of coopera-tionwithmore results in 2014.

General Assemblyshows reasons forbeing optimistic

Steve StevensCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

At this time of year, many ofus find ourselves more deeplyin prayer. Interceding for lostlovedones, praying for theheal-ing of a sick friend, and plead-ing with God to take us to thenext level in our walk with him.

Yet, when our prayers seemtogounanswered,wecaneasilybecome discouraged. Could itbe that there is somethingmiss-ing in my prayer life? Possibly.Often our prayers are nothingmore than a long list of requestssent up to God with a short“thank you, you’re the best” (ifyou answer my prayers) at theend.

As the parent of a pre-teenand two other children who arekeenly aware that Christmas isa less than a week away, it’sbeen a long time since a conver-sation around this house hasn’tstarted with, “You know what Ireally want for Christmas?”What joy it would bring me ifone of them approached eithertheir father or me with genuinegratitude on their lips, “Mom,Dad, I truly appreciate the wayyou have taken care of us thisyear. The many ways you pro-vided for our family, encour-aged us, loved on us, and for-

gave us whenwemessedup.”Even if it fol-lowed with,“Now, youknow what Ireally want forChristmas?”my husbandand I would beover the moon.

At least thenwewould know

that theyhavesomesenseof thefact that it is hard work to carefor and raise a family. I thinkGodmust feel the sameway.Hewants more than a list of what Iwant and need. (He alreadyknows, by the way.) He wants aheartfelt conversation; proofthat I amreflecting onwho I amin him, realizing the awesomepower that he holds, and com-pletelyreleasingmyselfandmyburdens to his care.

Recently I cameacross someprinciples for effective inter-cession, written by CharlesStanley. Stanley shares how wecan be more effective in ourprayers for self and loved ones:

» If we want our prayers tobe effective, they must flowfrom a heart that is in step with

God. I must confess any sin andbitterness I am harboring andask God to giveme the compas-sion, love and forgiveness forothers that he so easily shareswith me.

» Pray that God will revealyour loved ones deepest needs,so that you can intercede effec-tively. We sometimes assumewe know what another personneeds. But God knows best.

» Persevere. Endure in yourprayer life, my friend. And if/when you do become discour-aged believe the words ofJames 5:15, 16; “And the prayerof faith will save the sick, andthe Lord will raise him up. Andif he has committed sins, hewillbe forgiven. Confess your tres-passes one to another, and prayfor oneanother, that youmaybehealed. The effective, ferventprayer of a righteous manavails much.”

I wrestled with myselfabout sharing, once again, mylatest clone of Williams-Sono-ma peppermint bark. After all,my recipe last year was excel-lent, and the difference thisyear is that I used premiumbar chocolates only andtweaked the recipe a tiny bit.

Well, I’ve beengetting lots ofrequests for thisspecial barkalready, so I’mtaking creativelicense and shar-ing what I nowcall my latestand greatest.And, I mightadd, my verylast recipe for

this treat!However you celebrate, I

hope each of you has the bestholiday season. Remember, thebest things in life aren’t“things.”

Rita’s ultimate clone ofWilliams-Sonomapeppermint bark 2013

Use the best quality choco-lates and candy (no imitationpeppermint in extract orcandy) to make it as close toWilliams-Sonoma as possible.As mentioned, I used the high-est quality bar chocolates,which I chopped. Whether youuse bars or morsels, read la-bels. The semi-sweet chocolateshould be real chocolate, notchocolate-flavored.

The first two ingredients inwhite chocolate should be sug-ar and cocoa butter. No palm,palm kernel or coconut oil ifyou want it to be like Williams-Sonoma. These oils may be aculprit for layers sometimesnot bonding.

That doesn’t mean you can’tmake wonderful bark withwhatever chocolate fits your

budget. I also have more barkrecipes on my blog, a single-layer one for kids and a three-layer one.

Prep pan:Line a cookie sheet with one

piece of foil, about 10 inches by12 inches. Or do the same in a9-inch by 13-inch pan.

First layer:

2 cups (12 oz.) semi-sweetchocolate, divided into 11⁄4 and 3⁄4cupmeasures

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Use a double boiler if youhave one, or put 11⁄4 cups choco-late in heatproof bowl. Set oversaucepan that has 1 inch of

steaming water, making surebowl does not touch water.(This is a makeshift doubleboiler). Heat should be turnedto low so no steam/water es-capes into chocolate, which canturn it grainy. Stir until choco-late is almost melted but stillhas a few lumps, then removebowl and stir in remainingchocolate until smooth. Stir inextract and pour onto foil,spreading evenly. Let set atroom temperature or in refrig-erator until hard.

Second layer:

23⁄4 cups white chocolate, dividedinto 21⁄4 and 1⁄2 cupmeasures

1⁄2 teaspoon peppermint extract1⁄4 to 1⁄3 cup crushed peppermintcandy, sieved to remove tinyparticles

Put 21⁄4 cups white chocolatein clean bowl and repeat proc-ess for melting, stirring inremaining chocolate afterremoving bowl. Stir in extract.Let cool a bit. Pour over choco-late layer and spread.

Finishing with candy:Sprinkle candy and gently

press into chocolate. Let set atroom temperature or in refrig-erator until hard. Peel bark offfoil and break or cut intopieces. If it’s been in the re-

frigerator, let it sit out a bit soit’s easy to break or cut. Storein refrigerator.

Note: If you melt chocolatesin microwave, check frequent-ly as they can turn grainy andburn easily.

Classic macaroni saladFor Celia, a Delhi Township

reader, who wants to make thisalongside her holiday ham. “Ihad the recipe for years andmisplaced it. Sometimes weadded shrimp to it,” too, shesaid. Go to taste on ingredi-ents.

Salad:Mix together:

8 oz Mueller’s Small ElbowMacaroni, cooked and cooled

1⁄4 to 1⁄3 cup onion, diced2 ribs celery, diced1 small bell pepper, diced

Dressing:Combine and pour over

cooled pasta. You may not needall of it, so add half, taste, andadd more if you like.

2 tablespoons preparedmustard2 teaspoons sugar1⁄4 cup cider vinegar or more totaste

11⁄2 cups mayonnaise

Chill before serving.To add shrimp: Add 1⁄2 pound

cooked small shrimp to salad.

A lot of us have lifeinsurance policies, butmay not be aware of allthe provisions in thepolicy. One area womansaid not knowing about aprovision in her hus-band’s policy has cost hera lot of money.

Kathy Thompson ofBridgetown said she’supset with the life insur-ance company and her-self for not realizing akey money-saving provi-sion was in the policy.Thompson said of herhusband, “He became

disabledabout twoand a halfyears agoand whothinks oflooking atyour insur-ance pol-icy. Re-cently, theinsurance

company called and theywanted to sell us moreinsurance.”

The life insurancepolicy is a small one, just$9,000, and is one of sev-

eral her husband bought.What she didn’t remem-ber, until the agent re-minded her, was the pol-icy contains a disabilitywaiver. she said theagent told her, “You havea disclaimer on yourpolicy where if he’s dis-abled we’ll pay his premi-ums. I said, ‘Really?’”

Thompson said theproblem was, even afterexamining that policy,the waiver wasn’t veryclear. “There’s differentcolumns and they’ve gotsuicide exclusions.They’ve got all thesetitles over here butthere’s nothing about

disability. You have toreally, really look for it,”she said.

The Thompsons paymore than $14 each yearfor the disability waiver.But, I noticed even on thepolicy itself it just saiddisability waiver. As aresult, Thompson haspaid the yearly premiumfor more than two yearssince her husband be-came disabled. The insur-ance agent told her, un-fortunately, she can onlyget back the premium forone of those years.

Thompson then calledthe insurance companyitself and spoke with a

manager who told hercompany policy is toreimburse for only oneyear. “She said, ‘Thereare people that have hada policy with us for 30years and have beendisabled and they havethat waiver and theydon’t know about it. Westill only give them backone year.’” Thompsonsaid she thinks that’s aterrible policy and wantsto alert others.

The disability waiveris not automatic in mostlife insurance policies,it’s a separate provisionyou can buy. So, you maywant to check to see if

you have that waiver inyour policy.

Thompson said shelearned a valuable lessonto get a copy of that pro-vision in writing. Notonly will it help you re-member you have thatprotection, but it will alsoexplain exactly what’srequired before the in-surance company consid-ers someone to be dis-abled so the disabilitywaiver will apply.

Thomas More Collegehas hired a band director,Randy J. Webb, for itsmarching band programwhich will begin next fall.

Webb is currently theband director at LloydMemorial High Schooland has 30 years of expe-rience directing bands.He has been the band di-rector at George RogersClark, Estill County, Scottand Somerset highschools. He has served inleadership roles withinthe Kentucky Music Edu-cators Association and aspresident of the Northern

KentuckyBandDirectorsAssociation, which has al-lowed him to cultivate re-lationships with all musiceducators in the Tristatearea.

“The selection teamwas unanimous in theirrecommendation that Mr.Webb would be a perfectfit for Thomas More Col-lege and he has expressedthehighest levelofexcite-ment to build one of thestrongest college bands inthe region,” said VicePresident of OperationsMatthewWebster.

Webb will be a full-time employee at ThomasMore College beginningin February and has al-ready begun working onthe development of a stra-tegic plan and recruit-ment.

“I have served as ahigh school band directorfor almost 30 years, most-ly in the Northern Ken-tuckyarea,andIameagerto take on this newand ex-citing challenge,” saidWebb.

Webb has had success-

es in marching band, con-cert band, jazz band, win-ter guard, and percussionensemble. He earned abachelor of music educa-tion from Eastern Ken-tucky University andearned a rank I in educa-tional leadership fromNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity.

Sophomore NicoleBrewer is excited aboutWebb’s hiring.

“I knew Randy Webbwhen I was in the colorguard at George RogersClark High School,” shesaid. “When I heard hemight come to TMC, I

said, ‘If he comes, I’mdef-initely joining.’ I was onthe fence, but now I’m in.”

Junior Maggie Wallersaid, “I was in the band inhigh school, and chose toattend Thomas More be-causeofmydesire tobe inthe field of science, de-spite the fact that it didn’thave a marching band. Iam so glad I am now get-ting this opportunity.”

Both said they will bejoining the band.

At the end of a busyday, many of us wouldlove to quickly produce atasty, nutritious, home-cooked meal with mini-mal effort. One way youcan achieve this goal isby using a pressure cook-er.

You may be hesitantabout using a pressurecooker. You may not befamiliar with them orhave heard horror storiesfrom your mother orgrandmother about themexploding with the con-tents ending up on theceiling. As long as youcorrectly follow the man-ufacturer’s operatinginstructions for the cook-er, you can cook mostfoods very safely. To-day’s pressure cookersinclude more safety re-lease valves and inter-locking lids, whichmakes them safer thanolder models.

Pressure cooked foodscook three to 10 timesfaster compared to con-ventional cooking meth-ods. The cooker does notallow air and liquids toescape the containerbelow a pre-set pressure.As the pressure builds,the temperature inside

the cookerrises abovethe normalboilingpoint.

This notonly helpsthe foodcookquickly,but it helpsfood retainnutrients

and requires less waterto prepare items. It alsoresults in less energyused to prepare foods.You can cook multiplefoods at the same time,which saves time andresults in fewer dirtydishes.

The following pointerswill help you enjoy suc-cess with a pressurecooker:

» Never fill a pres-sure cooker more thantwo-thirds full or morethan halfway full forsoups or stews.

» Realize that thehotter a food or liquid isgoing into the cooker, thequicker it will cook.

» Meats and poultrycan be browned in thepan of the pressure cook-er prior to locking the lid.

» Pressure cookers

are not pressure cannersand should not be used toprocess home-cannedfoods for shelf storage.

» Generally, foodsthat expand as a result offoaming and frothing,such as applesauce, cran-berries, rhubarb, cereals,pastas, split peas anddried soup mixes, shouldnot be cooked in a pres-sure cooker.

» Pressure cookersand their parts should bewashed by hand with hotsoapy water. The highheat and harsh chemicalsof a dishwasher maydamage the parts of apressure cooker.

» Store pressurecookers in a cool, dryplace with the lid in-verted on the body. Fail-ing to do so can result inunpleasant odors andcause wear and tear onthe lid’s seal.

Give us a call for in-formation on an upcom-ing hands-on class withpressure cookers. Youmay just discover the joyof cooking tasty foodsfast.

Question: My Christ-mas cactus is not doingwell, and it never flowersmuch. Is there anything Ican do to help it bloommore?

Answer: Althoughholiday “cacti” naturallyflower around Thanks-giving and Christmas,commercial growerstake no chances – theymanipulate light levelsand temperatures toguarantee timely flower-ing. Holiday cacti bloomin response to short daysand/or cool temper-atures. In the greenhouseor in the home, exposethem to nine hours oflight and 15 hours ofdarkness each day, start-ing in September, tocause plants to set flowerbuds. Holding temper-atures between 50 and 59degrees F will stimulateflowering despite daylength.

Kentucky gardenersthat reflower their holi-day cactus each yearsimply leave the plantsoutdoors through Sep-tember and protect theplants from frost if nec-essary. When the plantsare brought indoors inearly October, flowerbuds are set and theplants flower around

Thanks-giving (fortheThanks-givingcactus,which haspointedteetharound theleaf mar-gins). Tem-peratures

above 75 degrees F, sud-den changes in temper-ature or light levels, andover-watering plants inheavy soil will causeunopened flower buds tofall off. In fact, duringthe fall and wintermonths, the plants shouldbe watered less frequent-ly in order to get them tobloom.

If your plant has notcome into bloom, therecould be a problem withroom temperature, fertil-ization, and/or intensityand duration of lightreceived (day length).Thanksgiving cactus andChristmas cactus growbest when kept constant-ly moist, except in theautumn, when theyshould be watered thor-oughly but allowed tobecomemoderately drybetween waterings. Theyprefer medium to bright

light, and will form flow-er buds at a 55 degreenight temperature, re-gardless of day length, orat a night temperature of63-65 degrees F. duringshort days (such as now).Flower buds may drop ifthe temperature is toohigh or if the light in-tensity is too low. Noflower buds will developwhen the night temper-ature is kept too high(70-75 degrees F).

You don’t have to fer-tilize your holiday cactuswith nitrogen in Novem-ber or December, al-though a little phospho-rus and potassium willsometimes encouragemore blooms. In lateOctober or early Novem-ber, it helps to make anapplication of a 0-10-10type liquid fertilizer.Keep the plant in a sunnywindow away fromdrafts. Starting in Janu-ary, you’ll need to apply acomplete houseplantfertilizer monthlythroughMay.

Water the plants fourdays after the soil ap-pears dry.
