Cainsaidtheentire tripwas “a life-changing ex-perience in a lot of ways.”

“It changed me, seeinganother culture,” she ex-plained. “We’re prettyprivilegedhere and I real-ized the things I think Ineed I don’t need at all.”

Working with herteammates, she learnedhow their differencescomplemented each oth-er.She learnedto trusthernewfriends, aswell asherGod.

In Bowling Green theyworked with Christ Fel-

The eight-week pro-gram took Emily Cain, arecent graduate from theUniversity of Kentucky,toMurray andZimbabwe.

“I’m so thankful that Iwas part of this experi-ence,” she said.

InMurray, hermissionteam worked with theFirst Baptist Church ofMurray. The studentshelped the churchwith itsBibleClub,VacationBibleSchool and renovations.

Team members alsoprepared for college re-treats they were planningto hold in three differentcities once they arrived inZimbabwe.

“There were lots ofchanges to the originalplan,”however, accordingto Cain.

No one signed up fortheretreat in thefirstcity.So the team ended upworking at an orphanage.Time spent at the orphan-age became Cain’s favor-ite part of the trip.

During the cold nights,her teambuilt a bonfire tostay warm and hosted aworship service. The or-phans would join them.

“Itwasjustsimplewor-ship,” she said. “The mu-sic was so beautiful and

In Greecethey workedwith Mazi Brosta, a com-munity developmentcompanythat focusesonaparticular area in Athenscalled Kypseli.

“We’d get all the chil-dren to work together fora common goal like play-ing a game,” said the Mo-rehead State Universityjunior. “It was neat to seethem come together andbe on the same team andlearning together. De-spite their differencesthey learned that they caninteract and have fun to-gether and be a communi-ty.”

Eckstein said she be-lieves “Godhas big plans”for that community and“it was great to be part ofthat.”

A recent KentuckyState University gradu-ate, Spaulding said he ap-preciated the opportunityto share his faithwith oth-ers.

“(This mission trip) re-minded me the despairand hopelessness world-wide andmore important-ly in my own backyard,”he said. “We were able toshare our faith and hopewith many who are hope-less and just coastingthroughlifewithnomean-ing, goals or purpose.”

In turn, Spaulding saidhe found inspiration to behis best. He discoveredhis purpose in life, too.

“Mainly that the mostimportant thing I can andwill do in my life, for therest ofmy life,will alwaysbe investing inpeople,”hesaid.

letyour imaginationrun, itcan take you anywhere.”

Her friend,DebGarijo-Gillon, also of Florence,helped with the project.She edited the book forSimpson.

“She was keeping all ofus, her friends, up-to-dateon the project and men-tioned needing an editor,”Garijo-Gillon said. “Ithought, “Well, I like toread, I can edit it.”

Garijo-Gillon doesn’t

have any formal training,she said, but has a knackforgrammarandpunctua-tion. She’s excited to havebeen a part of the project.

“I like the story, it’s fas-cinating,” she said. “WhenI read I like to be able topicture the characters. Iconnected with her char-acters and could picturethem, they just come tolife.”

Simpson has plans for asecond book, based on theurban legend, “Lady in theWoods.”

When she isn’t writing,Simpson is driving. Sheand Garijo-Gillon are both

school bus drivers forBoone County Schools.

Although Simpson en-joyswriting, she said driv-ing is her real passion.

“It’s the kids,” she said.“I love the kids, you get toknowthem, they’regreat.”

In fact one student shegot to know, inspired an-other purpose for herbook. In April, OckermanMiddle School seventh-grader Bailey Dieffen-baugher, 13, died shortlyafter wrecking his bikewhile attempting a stunt.His family has recentlystarted an organizationcalled, Believe in Bailey.Their goal is to spreadawareness of bicycle andhelmet safety.

Simpson is donating 10percent of her book’s roy-alties to support theeffort.

“When I started thepublishing process it wasall about me,” she said. “Iwas finally doing this. Iwas doing it for me. Me.Me. Me. Now my goal forthebook is tohelpwith thiscause. I want to help keepBailey’s memory alive.”

FLORENCE — Standingat 6 foot 5 andweighing inat 350 poundswith tattoosfrom the tip of his fingersinking up his forearms,Florence hip hop artist EZSixosix looks a bit intimi-dating.

“He certainly standsout,” his friend and fellowhip-hop artist Alexis En-gle of Louisville said. En-glemet EZ four years agoat a show.

“He was the tallest,most tattooed guy in theroom,” she laughed. “Seri-ously,he’sa talentedartistand probably one of thebestguys Iknow.He loveseverybody, unless yougive him a reason not toandwith his size you don’twanna do that.”

EZ was born Eric Stan-field. The 29-year-old wasnicknamed EZ when hewas about 9.

“My stepdad is Afri-can-American, so I grewupwithin that culture,” he

said. “The church I wentto, I was the only whitekid. There was an olderblack man there who al-ways calledme EZ. It juststuck.”

EZ grew up in Mays-ville, where the area codeis 606. To pay homage tohis home state, when he“seriously” started re-cording and performingaround 2005, he added theSixosix to his stage name.

After his son was still-

born in 2005, EZwent intoa deep depression. So, hedid what he’s always donein times of trouble, heturnedtomusic– this timewriting his ownmaterial.

“People liked the ma-terial that came from thatexperience,” he said. “Myfriends and other peoplesaid I should record it.”

He heeded their ad-vice. EZ moved to North-ern Kentucky where hismusic took off and he was

able to build a fan base.By 2010, he was open-

ing for many mainstreamand underground acts in-cluding Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,Juvinile, pastortroy, Eminem’s groupD12, Haystak, Three SixMafia, Insane Clown Pos-se, Jellyroll, and TechN9ne.

The last couple ofyears, EZ has taken abreak from shows andconcentrated on puttingoutmix tapes, buildinghisname and private recordlabel Rare Breed MusicGroup.

His recently releasedmix tape also bears thename of his label; it’s ti-tled “Rare Breed.” He re-leased it in April of thisyear.

According to EZ’sfriend, hip-hop artist Able

Cooper, of Michigan,that’s just what EZ is – “arare breed.”

“We are a rare breed,you knowwhat I’m saying– something you haven’theard before, the rarebreed in this genre. EZhas a lot to offer.”

EZandCooperhave re-cently teamed up as partof the group 10-31, whichis set to go on an EastCoast tour the last half ofOctober.

In addition, EZ justsigned a managementdeal with Llibza Enter-tainment based out ofKansas City, Mo.

EZsaidhe’sworkingonanother CD, “Broke LocalCelebrity,” which he

hopes will be out byChristmas. He’s alsoworkingon“Can ISay…,”an album he hopes will bereleased inchain storesaswell as played on radio.

Through it all, he’ssticking to what he be-lieves which is reflectedin his work.

“I believe inbeingme,”EZ said. “My music is alloriginal. The things I singabout are real, things I’vebeen through. I don’t havean image or gimmick.What you see is what youget.”

Isyourbusiness engaged ineducation? As a business youcan support the educationpipeline and be a key partnerfor student success.

Simply put, successful stu-dents equal a quality futureworkforce.Notsurehowtogetinvolved? Now there is a newbusiness engagement toolkitthat employers can use to helpthem focus their efforts.

“Our company has beencommitted to education for anumber of years, but now wehave a new toolkit that pro-vides us with concrete infor-mation about programs thathave measurable results anddemonstrated impact in ourschools,” said Jean Loftus ofLoftus Plastic Surgery. “Wewant our commitment of timeand resources to make a realdifference, and having thistoolkit makes it possible to doso.”

This year, the NorthernKentuckyEducation Council’svolunteerActionTeamthat fo-cusesonbusinessengagementdeveloped the toolkit whichoutlines ways in which a busi-ness can help impact studentachievement.

The toolkit provides con-cise program overviews, suc-cess stories, and ways to getinvolved. By using the toolkit,businesses can easily matchtheir available resources andareas of interest with specificprograms and initiatives.

Graphic design for the tool-kit was made possible by es-tablishing a unique collabora-tion with Thomas More Col-lege’s Art Department. Assis-tant Professor Rebecca RuehlAmann and her students do-nated both time and talent tothe project for the graphic de-sign.

The Action Team, com-prised of business, educationandcommunityleaders, iscur-rently developing a strategicdistribution plan to get thetoolkit into “the hands” ofbusiness leaders.

In partnership with theNorthern Kentucky Chamberof Commerce, the team isidentifying local companiesthat may be interested in con-necting with neighboring

schoolsandengagingintoolkitprograms.

Melanie Frey, regionalbusiness manager for TurnerConstruction and cochair oftheActionTeam, said, “The in-volvement of local businessesin high impact education ini-tiatives is critical to the eco-nomic prosperity of our re-gion.Ourbusinesscommunityrequires a prepared work-force which requires a com-munity-wide investment andthe support and engagementof local businesses in educa-tion. This toolkit shows em-ployers how to do that effec-tively.”

For instance, a JuniorAchievement section helpscorporate and community vol-unteers promote workforcereadiness through easy-to-im-plement programs.

Business Education Suc-cess Teams can partner withlocal schools to support stu-dent needs and develop activ-ities that impact studentachievement.

Through One-to-One Read-ing, business and communityvolunteers can help strug-gling readers in first throughthird grade.

Under service learning, or-ganizations can help studentsdevelop critical problem solv-ing skills, energize employeesand learn the benefits ofmeaningfulcivicengagement.

“We are focused on helpingeach one of our students reachtheir full potential and ourbusiness

partners play an essentialrole in the education of ouryouth,” said Dr. Terri Cox--Cruey,

superintendent of KentonCounty Schools and memberof Action Team 5. “With theirsupport,

our students will reachtheir college and careergoals.”

The toolkitwasmadepossi-ble through a grant to ActionTeam 5 from Vision 2015.

A10 • FLORENCE RECORDER • AUGUST 8, 2013

Why are N. Ky. gas prices so high?As I travel the state, I am

frequently askedwhat I can doabout high gas prices and pricefluctuations across the com-monwealth.

I understand the frustrationwith high gas prices. I under-stand how tough it is on hard-working families. No onewantsto choose between filling up thegas tank or putting food on thetable or paying a bill. Andmanyof us rely on our vehicles to getto work, so that we can pay ourbills. Be assured, protectingKentucky consumers at the gaspumps is a top priority ofmine.

So, why are gas prices inparts of Kentucky between12and 20 cents higher on aver-age? In 2008, we launched aninvestigation into thewholesaleprice of gasoline.

Our experts uncoveredstrong data to suggest thatMarathon’s acquisition of Ash-land Oil in the late1990s nega-tively impacted competition inthewholesale gasolinemarket

in Kentucky. Inother words,our investiga-tion indicatedMarathon has aregionalmo-nopoly thatallows it tomanipulate gasprices at thewholesalelevel. Evenafter approv-

ing themerger in the1990s, theFederal Trade Commission(FTC)warned that of the ninestates involved in themerger,one state bears watching – thatwasKentucky.

Marathon, which bases itsprices off of the Chicago SpotMarket, is the dominant suppli-er of gas to retailers who sellthat gas in Kentucky. In Louis-ville andNorthernKentucky,where the Environmental Pro-tection Agency (EPA)man-dates that reformulated gas(RFG)must be used, it supplies

nearly100 percent of thewholesale RFG.Whether youbuy gas at a Chevron station,BP or Thornton’s, you are likelybuyingMarathon gas. EPArequirements account for abouta10-cent increase in the priceof reformulated gas. Our in-vestigation shows themonopo-ly accounts for the additional 5to10 cent difference.

After we completed ourinvestigation in 2008, we pro-vided then FTCChairman JonLeibowitz with our findingsbecause this is an antitrustissue that falls under the FTC’sjurisdiction. The FTC did noth-ing.We evenmade our case totheU.S. AttorneyGeneral andthe Justice Department’s OilandGas Price FraudWorkingGroup. Again, federal reg-ulators have done nothing toaddressMarathon’s dominantposition in Kentucky.

I refuse to let thismatterrest. Recently, I spokewith theFTC’s newChairwoman Edith

Ramirez about our findings andhave sent our report to theCommission for a second re-view. I have also spokenwithFTCCommissioner Julie Brillabout thismatter.

It is also important to note,price differences betweencommunities are not necessar-ily indicative of price-gougingor price fixing. Legitimate costand competitive differencesmay cause the price of gasolineto be higher in one communitythan another. Similarly, it is notnecessarily an antitrust vio-lation if one stationmatches acompetitor’s price as long asthere is no agreement to fixprices.

Kentucky’s price-gougingstatute can only be triggered bythe governor during a declaredemergency and for a specificamount of time following thatemergency. This statute pro-hibits price increases for cer-tain commodities/emergencysupplies grossly in excess of

pre-declaration prices. So, asuppliermay increase itsprices during a time of emer-gency, only if its costs increase.Gouging is only a small part ofthe problem here in the com-monwealth.

We have been vigilant inprotecting consumers againstprice-gouging at the pumps. Asyoumay recall, we fined retail-ers into the six figures in thewake ofHurricanes Katrina,Ike and the Ice Storm for goug-ing.

As your attorney general, Ihave taken action against re-tailers who have gouged con-sumers at the pumps. I havestudied and identified thebroader issue ofMarathon’sstranglehold on thewholesalegasmarket in Kentucky. Now,it’s time for federal regulatorsto take action and I again callon them to do so.

Jack Conway is attorney general ofKentucky.

Picking up cigarettebutts a tedious chore

Girl Scout Troop 1967, sev-enth-grade troop from Burling-ton, Florence, and Hebron,spent three hours picking uptrash along Northside Driveand Kilgore Place in Hebron onJuly 25. We participated incleaning up the communitythrough the Boone CountyTrash for Cash program.

We found pop cans, bottles, agolf ball, a windshield wiperand other odds and ends. Butmore than anything, we pickedup cigarette butts. Please real-ize this is trashand isvery time-consuming to pick up. Fortu-nately for our scouts,we did notencounter any hazardous itemsto be removed.

The girls were really sur-prised by how much trash andhow many people must smoke

to dispose of so many cigarettebutts and wrappers in one area.All girls are now more cogni-zantof trashalongtheroadsandhowlong it takes topick it all up.GirlScoutTroop1967hopes thatmore people will decide to notlitter and keep our communityclean.

Why make your own jamwhen you can just buy it at thestore?

“It’s the love that goes intoit,” answered Lynda Crouthersof Elsmere. She grew up learn-ing how to make jam from hergreat aunt and has been hopingto bring back the family tradi-tion. “I want my grandchildrento be able to enjoy it.”

On Monday morning, July29, she came to theBooneCoun-ty Cooperative Extension Ser-vice in Burlington to learn howto make jams and jellies.

“I love watching people eatthe things that I’ve prepared,”she continued. “So I prefer it behomemade for them.”

Delashea Daniels of Elsm-ere came for another reason. “Ihave three daughters, and twoof them love grape jelly. That’s

all they eat, all the time,” shelaughed. “So if I can make it athome and control which ingre-dients are in it, it would be awe-some, because we’re living ahealthy lifestyle.”

Michelle Winters of Cres-cent Springs has a 6-year-oldson. “He loves to cook and bakeanything in the kitchen,” sheshared. “He has tons of ener-gy.” She thought making jamwould be a good activity forhim. “Hopefully it’ll wear himout.”

“Wehave a lot of fruit trees,”explained Ann Crary of Bur-lington. “We have peaches,plums, blackberries, raspber-ries. So Ineed to findsomethingto do with them.”

The Jam and Jelly Makingclass has been offered since2009. Diane Mason and KathyByrnes are the instructors. Oneof their objectives that day wasdemonstrating how to makestrawberry jam.

Together with the studentsthey crushed theberries, addedpectin, brought themixture to aboil, then added sugar. The re-sult was a bubbling red liquidemitting a sweet aromaguaran-teed to make you hungry. Oneby one, students poured the hotjam into sterilized jars.

“This class is usually heldevery other year,” Mason said.“The waiting list is filled be-cause more and more peopleare getting interested in it.”

After spending over threehours learning the basic skills,the students were confident totry it at home. “This is so sim-ple. It’s something that I canteach my kids and grandkids,”Crouthers said.

“We just have to be particu-lar about the directions and fol-lowing the correct order,” Cra-ry added.

Carol Ann Morrow of Unionwas glad to discover the exten-sion service after moving fromCincinnati five years ago. “Ithink it is the most welcomingplace in Boone County. I havelearneda lot that hasmademeamore confident homemaker,”she said. “I hope I never run outof classes that I can come to.”

I can tell what’s goingon, food wise, frommyreaders simply by therequests sent in.

This week zucchiniand cucumbers dom-inated. Apparently ev-erybody’s zucchini isproducing nonstop, justlike mine.

I like the fact that ourCommunity Press familywants to find ways to usethis summer veggie.Most of the requestswere for zucchini bread

recipes.Zucchinibreadfreezeswell and isprettyeasy tomake. Andthe varia-tions areendless,like thetwo reci-

pes I’m sharing today.Both are in my RecipeHall of Fame.

Requests for cucum-ber recipes were slightlybehind the zucchini in-quiries. I always think ofmy German mother-in-law, Clara, when I makemy version of her mari-nated cucumbers withfresh dill frommy gar-den.

Classic marinatedcucumbers/akaGerman cucumberswith vinegar andsugar

Feel free to add slicedonions when addingdressing, like Clara did.

2 large or several smallcucumbers (1-1⁄2 pounds)sliced thin

1 tablespoon salt

Dressing: mix togeth-er1⁄2 cup vinegar - cider or clear(I like cider)

3 tablespoons sugar or totaste

Pepper to tasteGenerous palmful fresh dill,chopped (to taste)

Put cucumbers incolander and sprinklewith salt. Let sit 20 min-utes, stirring now andthen. Drain and pat dry.Pour dressing over. Stirand put in frig to chill acouple of hours or over-night.

Chocolate zucchinibread/cake

It’s a cross between abread and a cake, so youdecide what you want tocall it. Try milk choco-late chips for a milderflavor.

1 -1⁄2 cups shredded packedzucchini

1 cup flour1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoapowder, sifted

1 teaspoon baking soda1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder1⁄4 teaspoon salt1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon1⁄4 teaspoon allspice1⁄2 cup canola oil1⁄2 cup sugar1⁄2 cup light brown sugar2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla3⁄4 cup semi-sweet chocolatechips

Preheat oven to 350.Spray 9 x 5 loaf pan. Setaside shredded zucchini.Whisk together flour,cocoa, baking soda, bak-ing powder, salt, cinna-mon, and allspice. Setaside. Beat oil, sugars,eggs, and vanilla untilwell blended and fold inzucchini. Add flour mix-ture, mixing just untilcombined. Fold in chips.Bake until toothpickinserted in center comesout clean, about 55 to 65minutes. Place on wirerack to cool 10 minutes,then remove and finishcooling.

Butterscotchzucchini bread

Don’t take it out of theoven too soon. I bakedone pan 50 minutes – itlooked great coming outof the oven, but it sunk inthe middle when itcooled – a sure indicationof underbaking.

3 eggs

1 cup oil2 teaspoons vanilla2 cups sugar2 cups grated zucchini(squeeze moisture outbefore measuring)

2 cups flour1 teaspoon baking soda1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon1⁄2 teaspoon ginger1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg1⁄2 cup rolled oats1 package (3.4-ounce size)instant butterscotchpuddingmix

1 cup nuts, raisins or otherdried fruit

Beat eggs, oil, vanillaand sugar together well.

Add zucchini. Then mixthe flour and the rest ofthe dry ingredients to-gether and then add tothe egg mixture, blend-ing well. Pour into 2greased, floured, waxpaper lined pans. Bake 1hour at 350oF degrees oruntil toothpick insertedin center comes outclean.

Lemon frostingMix and spread on

bread after it cools:

2 cups confectioner’s sugar,sifted

2 tablespoons lemon juice4 tablespoons butter,softened

Check out my blog for

more zucchini breadrecipes and how tofreeze zucchini recipes.

Readers want toknow: How do youfreeze zucchini?

Shredded: I don’t peelmine, though colleagueand professional bakerand canner Cheryl Bullisdoes. I don’t blanch butdo pack mine in a littlemore than 2 cup mea-sures, since when youthaw it, you’ll lose vol-ume as liquid drains out.

Slices: Cut into slices,1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inches thick.Blanch in boiling waterfor 3 minutes. You’llwant the water boilingand enough to cover thezucchini. You can blanchseveral batches in thesame water; just addmore water if necessary.Cool immediately afterblanching in ice water,drain very well, andpack in freezer contain-ers or freezer baggies.(One reader likes to laythe slices in a singlelayer and freeze hard,

uncovered, and thenpack into baggies).Smoosh out all air toprevent freezer burn. Dowith a straw and justsuck out air or lay bagflat, smoosh out air withyour hands, and freeze.Frozen zucchini shouldbe thawed slightly, notall the way, before usingin cooked dishes.
