UNION—A new second road-way in and out of Triple Crowngoes to the “Winner’s Circle.”

The new road leads fromHicks Pike and will connect tothe new Winner’s Circle devel-opment created for this year’sAug. 9-24 HomeFest off Man O’War Boulevard.

Construction on new homesis going on in the same area asthenewconnector road, saidTo-ny Berling, manager of TripleCrown Developers.

Completion of the new roadis near, and it is expected to beopen to traffic by mid-August,Berling said.

Until now, all access into Tri-ple Crown has been fromTripleCrownBoulevard viaRichwoodRoad.

“Now we’ve got a back en-trance to Hicks Pike to get inand out,” he said.

Parents of school-age chil-dren and community members

have been asking for a secondentrance for the sake of conve-nience, Berling said.

“All Boone County Schoolscan get in and out of the newroad insteadofgoingall thewayaround,” he said. “It’s a bigdeal.”

Deborah Danner-Rios, anemployee for Boone CountySchools’ transportation routingdepartment, said through emailthat until the new road is com-pleted, the district cannotmakeany plans to incorporate it intobus routes.

Once the road is complete,mapshavetobeupdatedandtheroadhas tobeput into theschooldistrict’s routing system to beavailable for buses to use, Dan-ner-Rios said.

“We will of course make useof anything that will make ourroutingandschedulingmoreef-ficient,” she said. “All routesthat are in the Triple Crownarea will be re-evaluated oncewe have availability of thatroad.”

That’s why thetwo, with their combined30 years experience inthe funeral industry,haveopenedAllianceFu-neral Home and Crema-tion Center, 7816 DixieHighway, Florence. “Wehave similar views onhow the business shouldbe,” said Brinneman, 60,of Florence. “With theeconomy as bad as it is,people aren’t able to paythe prices offered at oth-er funeral homes andcremation centers. Wewantedaway tomake fu-nerals and cremationsmore affordable.”

Thebusinesspartnersopened Alliance at theend of April and are en-joying helping familieswho are suffering. “I en-joy most the one-on-onetime with the familiesand talking about theirloved one,” said Voss-meyer, 49, of Villa Hills.“In this business you’rehelping families with thestart of getting throughthis difficult time. Theycancomebyaftertheser-vice is over too for a hugor whatever they need.We’re here to help.”

Vossmeyer and Brin-neman both enjoy help-ing families find simpleand creative ways to cel-ebrate their loved one’slife. For example, Voss-meyer said, one family

mentioned that the de-ceasedenjoyedSnickers.So at the end of his ser-vice everyone got aSnickers as a way to re-member their loved one.Vossemeyer said it’s justa simple gesture, butmeans a lot.

“Every life is special...” Brinneman began.

“Every life deservesto be celebrated,” Voss-meyer finished.

Every client whocomes to Alliance is spe-cial too, Brinneman said,whether it’s a personoverthephoneaskingforprices for a family who’spurchased a basic cre-mation or a family who’spurchased a full service

option.“We’vehadoppor-tunities to work withfamilies who have verylittle,” he said. “Theycome to us and they’resurprisedbywhatwecanoffer them and they’resurprised that they gettreated well.” Accordingto Vossmeyer, familiesshould feel welcome andcared for when visiting afuneral home. “Peopleare coming to you on theworst days of our lives,”she said. “I’m embar-rassed by the fact that alot of those in the indus-tryhavethe idea thatser-vice comes later. If youtreat people right, itmakes them feel not asdistraught.”

Northern Kentucky can bea fast-pitch softball hotbed.Only Highlands High Schooladvanced to the final 16 of theKHSAA tournament in 2014,but there is plenty of talent todevelop in the area. Charlesand Teri Cain are determinedto maximize the area’s tal-ents.

Teri is the co-owner of theKentucky Academy of Sportsin Burlington, while Charlesis the vice president of theKAOS athletic club. They re-cently launched KAOS Elitesoftball, a program designedto give Northern Kentucky’sbestyoungsoftball playersanopportunity to prove them-selves against the best com-petition in the nation.

“We really believe the tal-ent level in this area is deep,”Charles Cain said. “We feelthat thesegirls shouldn’t haveto leavetheareatofindateamto get them national expo-sure.”

The KAOS Elite team willbegin tournament play in thefall. The program kicked offwithacamp inJulywhich fea-tured some of the most ac-

“We thought by bringingthose big-name girls in, itshows what kind of programwe want to be and what wewant to accomplish,” saidCain.

Teri Cain played collegiatesoftball and always thoughtabout giving back to the nextwave of potential softballstars. KAOS and KAOS Eliteis a dream come true for thelongtime instructor whocame to Northern Kentuckyfour years ago from Illinois.

A8 • FLORENCE RECORDER • AUGUST 7, 2014

Wow, how time flies. Itseems like just yesterday thatsummer break was beginning.

For those of you who arecollege-bound high schoolseniors, Aug. 1 is a big deal.Why, because this is the firstday students can start fillingout the Common Applicationused by over 500 colleges. Inaddition, many other collegesopen up their applications aswell.

So when should a studentsubmit his or her application?

As soon aspossible. Pro-crastinationwill hurt youin this proc-ess. This isespeciallytrue if you arehoping to getadmitted intoa competitivecollege (Ivy orselective pub-

lic) or get picked for a superduper selective scholarship.

You need to be at the top ofthe pile when they are makingtheir decisions and selections,not the bottom. As I often say,“If you smell turkey, it may betoo late.”

There are, however, a fewitems that a student must com-plete or gather before sub-mitting most applications:essays, letters of recommenda-tion, transcripts, etc. It is im-portant that you do not pro-crastinate when it comes togetting everything in process.

If you haven’t already done so,make it a point today to startworking on your common appessays (hint: the prompts arethe same as last year).

The more time you spend onmaking your essay unique, thebetter. Send an email to theterrific teachers who you hopewill write a great letter for youas soon as possible. Provideher or him with a resume ofyour high school accomplish-ments.

Finally, as soon as school

starts, go to your guidancecounselor and give them a listof your final college list. Bytaking action on all of theseitems as soon as possible, youwill help to take away thestress and pressure that oftenbuilds up in the senior year.

Here’s to a successful col-lege application process.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat are your favorite destina-tions at The Banks? How often,if at all, do you visit The Banks?What would you like to seethere?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] Ch@troom in the subject line.

Value freedom,think for yourself

As a person who grew up inthe1950sand ‘60s, Iwas taughtin school to valuemy rights asa U.S. citizen. I knew that I,and every person in this coun-try, was guaranteed by our be-loved constitutional Bill ofRights, to have freedom of re-ligion, freedom of speech, aright to keep and bear arms, aright not to be undulysearched, a right against self-incrimination (as in pleadingthe Fifth), a right to an impar-tial jury, and much more.

I’ve truly appreciated allwho have given their serviceto this country, who helpedprotect and preserve thoserights. And I was not afraid toclaim those rights when and ifthey were needed in my life.There are good, good thingsabout this country. We werenot perfect. But we were alight to the world. We werewho the world turned to forhelp when help was neededand we willingly gave. Andgave.

Sunday afternoon, my hus-band and I went to see DineshD’Souza’s movie, “AMERICA,imagine the world withouther”.

The movie has beenmockedandpeoplewhoattendit are mocked, therefore theyoung people who don’t wanttobemadefunofdonotattend.

However, joining us in theviewing were others age 50

and up. Many of the attendeeslooked to be in their 70s or 80s.With great effort, some ofthem crept up to their seatsand afterward, pulled them-selves up and slowly walkedout of the theater.Awonderfulyoungman,anemployeeof thetheater, quietly thanked eachperson as they left As we al-ways do when watching amovie, my husband and Istayed towatch the credits. Sodid most of the 50s and 60scrowd. Some stood somberlyand quietly watched the cred-its roll, seeming reluctant toleave and face the sad declineof our country.

As for me, I nodded andsmiled encouragingly to thenice young man who thankedme onmyway out. It seems tome that all I can do now is toencourage young people tovalue their freedom and askthem to think for themselves –to think outside the box, toquestion and prove all things.

When I was in the hallwaybefore exiting the theater, afew of my tears finallyslipped. I had a lump in mythroat – becausenoyoungpeo-ple had come to see themovie.I was sad, not because hope islost, for there is always hope. Iam sad for our young people.Perhaps, if you are readingthis, youwill go and see the ex-cellent movie, “AMERICA,”and see why those with anagenda hate it so much.

published or distributed in print, electronic or other forms.

In order to counter twowidely spread myths related tothe construction of the ArkEncounter in Northern Ken-tucky, we present Recorderreaders with the followingfacts.

Contrary to what has beenreported by other newspapers(e.g., New York Times) andcountless misinformed blog-gers, no tax money is comingfromKentucky’s budget andaway from needed services tobuild the full-size Noah’s Arkin Williamstown.

Instead, the project hasreceived preliminary approvalfrom the state to receive arefund of sales tax collected atthe completed park (e.g., fromticket sales, merchandise andfood) but only if the Ark drawslarge crowds and thus bringsin millions of tourism dollarsinto the state.

This possible refund ofsales tax is not a violation ofthe so-called separation ofchurch and state, as is com-monly asserted. Even an at-torney with the American CivilLiberties Union of Kentuckytold USA Today in 2010 thatKentucky should be non-dis-

criminatorytowards theArk Encoun-ter. In addi-tion, we sug-gest it wouldbe illegal forthe state toengage inviewpointdiscrimi-nation.

Further,Kentucky

will not be endorsing the Ark’scontent by offering a sales taxrefund. Was Kentucky “en-dorsing” alcohol consumptionwhen it approved tax refundsfor a beer distillery tour pro-ject in 2012? We think not.

Not one dollar will come outof the state coffers to helpbuild the Ark. And the state isnot compelling anyone to visitthe Ark. No unwilling taxpayeris involved, for the refund willcome from the sales tax col-lected from those who volun-tarily visited the Ark.

Recent federal cases in-volving incentives and thepossible establishment of reli-gion have been generally per-missive to promote economic

development (e.g., a 2009 rul-ing by the U.S. Court of Ap-peals for the Sixth Circuit,which includes Kentucky). Thegranting of a sales tax refundis for a legitimate public pur-pose: promote economic devel-opment in the state, and that iswhy Gov. Steve Beshear sup-ports the project.

One would expect that anyproject that: will bring millionsof dollars in new capital in-vestment, is a net gain for thestate treasury, creates thou-sands of jobs directly and in-directly, and passes constitu-tional muster would be enthu-siastically welcomed by every-one in our region. The Ark’ssister facility, the CreationMuseum in Petersburg, hasalready added hundreds ofmillions of dollars to the re-gional economy and has drawnwell over two million guests.

We are happy to report thathuge earth-moving equipmentwill soon be heading its waydown I-75 to Williamstown asexcavation and constructionstarts on this massive ship.

Bryn Mooth, whowrites the food blogWrites4Food.com,stopped by my home lastweek to visitmyherb gar-

den andchat.

Wefound outwe had lotsin commonwhen itcomes tofood andgardening,though Iwill sayBryn looks

way too young to be so ac-complished. Her blog hasdoable, really good reci-pes with beautiful photos.

Onethatcaughtmyeyerecently was her Frenchpicnic salad in a jar. Ohmy gosh, I wanted to diginto the photo with a fork,it looked that good. I’msharing the recipe here.

By the way, this fallshe’ll be publishing herbook “The Findlay Mar-ket Cookbook” with sto-ries and recipes that cele-brate our unique and his-toric FindlayMarket. Thebook focuses on food thatvendors are proud to sellalong with their storiesand histories. My Momand Dad drove their Che-vy to Findlay just abouteveryweekwhenwewerekids. They had certain fa-vorite vendors who knewthem by name just like Ido today.MomandDadal-ways got good bargains,witnessed by a trunk loadof ethnic foods for ourLebanese table!

Bryn’s Frenchpicnic salad in a jar

Brynsays: “Abeautiful

layered salad in a jar (SheusedaWeck .5LMold jar),perfect for transportingto a picnic or, less roman-tically, to the office. Youcould spin this salad-in-a-jar thing a million differ-ent ways, but I went for ariff on the classic Frenchnicoise salad, withsteamed potatoes, greenbeansandamustardyvin-aigrette. If you layer thedressing on the bottomand the lettuce on the top,then your salad ingredi-ents stay nice and freshand crisp until you’reready to eat, at whichpoint you simply shakethe jar to distribute thedressing, and stick yourfork all theway to the bot-

tom to get a bit of every-thing in one bite.”

Salad8 to 10 small cherry or

grape tomatoes1/2 cup shredded

cooked chickenHandful fresh green

beans, trimmed to 1-inchlengths

3 little fingerling pota-toes

Fewpittedblackolives3-4 leaves of butter let-

tuce, cut into thin ribbonsMustardy vinaigretteWhisk together:1/3 cup white-wine or

champagne vinegar3 tablespoons Dijon

mustard1 tablespoon honey1/2 cup olive oil

Salt and pepperPrepare green beans

and potatoes: In a pot ofboiling salted water, cookpotatoes until just tender,about 8 to 10 minutes; re-move with slotted spoonto colander to cool. To thesame pot, add beans andblanchfor1minute; trans-fer to colander and rununder very cold water tostop cooking. Slice pota-toes into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Spoon a generous ta-blespoon of dressing intobottom of jar, then layerrest of ingredients in thisorder: cherry tomatoes,shredded cooked chicken,green beans, sliced pota-toes, black olives and, fi-

nally, lettuce. Keep re-frigerated until about 30minutes before serving.Shake jar to distributedressing.

Rita’s freshpeppermint iced tea

For Matt, who has anabundance of mint andasked: “How do I substi-tute fresh mint for theamount of mint that’s in ateabag?”

Takeagenerouscouplehandful of mint leavesand crush them a little be-tween your palms or witha spoon to release thehealthful oils. Place into alarge mug or jar. Pour 2cups simmering water

over, cover and steepabout 10 minutes. Strainand taste.Addmorewaterif you like. Cool and pourover ice. I like to sweetenit with raw honey or Ste-via and serve with awedge of citrus.

Tips fromRita’s garden

Along with vitamin C,mint is a good digestiveherb and the tea is a natu-ral coolant.
