UNION — It’s been al-most one year since theBelcher family movedfrom their home in North-ern Virginia to Union.

Though they may benew to the community,their Union neighbors arerallying behind the familyas their 4-year-old daugh-ter Caroline battles a rarecancer.

Missy Owens, whoowns the Goddard Schoolin Florence, her husbandJerry and 17-year-old sonJason along with JenniferBorcher sit in one of theschool’s colorful class-rooms, filled with chil-dren’s drawings and tot-sized tables, as they con-tinue planning efforts on abenefit for Caroline.

The benefit is fromnoonto6p.m.Sunday,Aug.18, at Jane’s Saddlebag,13989 Ryle Road, Union.

Live music will be per-formed by DRD Band, Sa-miandtheUglyTruth,DanWalsh and Jason OwensBand.

The event also featuresT-shirts and bracelets,games, a fun zone for kidsand a silent auction.

It was after the familyarrived in Kentucky thatCaroline became ill, hermother Emily Belchersaid.

They thought she wasadjusting to the move – tonew germs, a new pre-school.But,Emilysaid, thefact Caroline was throw-ing up “was a red flag.”

Scans and MRIs re-vealed lesions throughoutCaroline’s brain and spine.

Days after being admittedto the hospital Nov. 1, Emi-ly said Caroline was diag-nosedwith PNET, or prim-itive neuroectodermal tu-mors.

The Belchers had en-rolled at the GoddardSchool, Missy Owens said.

“Thathappenedandmyheart just broke for thembecause they have no fam-ilyhere, theyhavetwooth-er children and I can’timagine being in that situ-ation without knowinganybody around me,” shesaid.

Borchermet the familythrough her job at UnionPet Hospital.

“I got involved becauseI couldn’t imagine being intheir shoes,” shesaid, “andif there was anyway Icould make life a little biteasier, Iwasgoingtodo it.”

Bringing out thebest

LisaResing, 37, of Flor-ence, will start her ninthyear at Florence Elemen-tary, this timeasprincipal.

“I’mreally,reallyexcit-ed,” she said. “I can’t waitfor our students to getback inschool, I’vemissedthem. This year, I’m look-ing forward to helpingthemgrowand be the bestthey can be.”

Being the best one canbe is something Resinghas striven toward all herlife.

“I learnedalotfrommyparents who instilled inme a hard work ethic andvalue of education,” shesaid. “They supported mein everything I did.”

She said she’s been try-ing to do the same for stu-dents since she startedteaching 14 years ago.Resing taught in physicaleducation. She spent fiveyears at Kenton CountySchools before coming toFlorence Elementarywhere she served as assis-tant principal. Resing de-cided to delve into the ad-ministrativesideofeduca-tion to keep challengingherself.

“I’ve always wanted tolearn more and be thebest,” she said. “I neednew challenges in my lifeto do those things.”

As principal, she saidher top priority is to “givethe best educational expe-rience.” She also wants tosee the school move for-ward with innovative

ideas and expound on theprograms already of-fered.

“My third big goal is in-volvement,” she said. “Iwant the parents and com-munity to be involved inthe decision making. Iwant them to have a voicein our students’ educa-tion.”

Resing likens being aprincipal to being a coach.

“I’m not the No. 1 play-er on the team,” she said.“Instead, I’m the onebringing out the best inothers.”

Cultivatingunlimited potential

Ockerman MiddleSchool’s newprincipalMi-chael Poiry, 38, of VillaHills, said he wants to tapinto theschool’s full poten-

tial.“Ihavetwowordstode-

scribe working in educa-tion: huge privilege,” hesaid. “Whatweget toworkwith iswithout limits – thepotential is without lim-its.”

Poirystartedhiscareerin education as a teacher.

“At the end of the day,you’re here because of adesire to help a childgrow,” he said. “I could goto work and build a greatcar. I could go towork andbuild a great ethical, mor-al and civic human being.That’s what I looked atwhen I chose this profes-sion.”

At Ockerman Middlehe plans to continue im-proving upon the school’sacademic performance,and community involve-ment and support.

If he wasn’t principal,Poiry saidhe’dbeworkingin agriculture, but pointedout similarities betweenthe two fields.

“I’dbedoingsomethingthat gives you the abilityto see the fruits of your la-bor – the works of yourhands,” he said. “Which ifyou think about it, (theprofessions) are not thatfar removed from eachother.”

The shoes will be givento Shoes for Orphan Souls,ahumanitarianaidprojectof Buckner International,a global Christian minis-try. Its mission is to pro-vide new shoes and socksto orphans and vulnerablechildren in the U.S. andthroughout the world.Shoes collected by theFlorence Rotary will bedistributed both in North-ernKentucky and interna-tionally.

Florence RotarianBarbKeeling, store leaderat J.C. Penney in Florencesaid it’s a worthy cause.

“It’shardtobelievethat

so many kids don’t haveshoes,” she said. “It’s a ba-sic needwe take for grant-ed. Most of us have a pairof shoes for each outfit.For some, shoes are an ac-cessory, for others it’s anecessity.”

According toKeeling, apairofshoes insomecoun-tries can determinewhether a child gets to at-tend school. In other na-tions, children have towalk a mile a more everyday just for water. Nothaving shoes, she said,makes them more vulner-able to disease.

Florence Rotarianshave the task to collect 10pairs each. They’re ex-panding the effort to theentire community as well.Everyone can donate.

Drop-off locations in-clude the Hilton on Turf-way Road, any branch lo-

cationofTheBankofKen-tucky and J.C. Penney inFlorence .

Deadline for donationsis Oct. 31.

With each donation ofshoes, theRotary is askingthe giver to fill out a cardincluding thegiver’s nameand location, as well as amessage to the child.

“One card that came inwith a pair of donatedshoes read: ‘Step into yourdreams in your newshoes,’” Keeling said.

According to Keeling,that’swhat this effort is allabout.

“One pair of shoes is alot to these children,” shesaid. “(Theshoes)willhelpthem accomplish whatthey need to. These shoeswill make such a differ-ence in a child’s life. Theseshoes will travel a longway.”

WALTON — The Walton-Vero-na School District is awaitingapproval from the state for a $6million remodel of thegymnasi-um used by both middle andhigh school students.

The project is part of theoverall district facilityplan thathas been approved by the Ken-

tucky Department of Educa-tion. This particular portion oftheproject is the “higherpriori-ty,”districtSuperintendentBobStorer said.

Plans for the remodel are toconnect the current gym to theschool building.

Although plans are in theearly stages, the school boardhas discussed a new connectorspace housing an exercise room

and hall of fame walkway. Thehall of famewould display vari-ous sports awards collectedover the years.

The remodel will also in-clude the addition of a largerband room, new choral rooms,and upgraded locker and rest-room facilities.

The design process is still inthetentativestages,Storersaid.

Storer said this is an impor-

tant project for the district be-cause “in termsof our facilities,the music areas and gymnasi-umare the only classrooms thathave not been remodeled.”

The timeline for the projectis unconfirmed. Ehmet Hayes,principal architect of RobertHayes and Associates, who hasbeen working with the districton design ideas, said ideallybidswouldbeput out at the first

of 2014.Money for the project is

coming from the facilities fundportion of the school’s budget.Aportion is also coming from aSchool Facilities ConstructionCommission grant, Storer said.

Emerson Industrial Auto-mation in Florence and BooneCounty Schools are looking tooffer a district-wide roboticsteamthatwill link the fourhighschools and ignite a passion forlearning.

“We see (the robotics team)as a way to open up communi-cation about a common topic,andmakewayformore innova-tion and cooperation betweenthe four schools,” Merle Heck-man of Emerson said.

Emerson has sponsored aFor Inspiration and Recogni-tion of Science and Technology(FIRST) Robotics team at RyleHigh School for the last threeyears.

The team competes in thenational FIRST Robotics Com-petition each year.

Combining the excitementof sports with the rigors of sci-ence and technology, the com-petition is known as the varsitysport for the mind. It is a pro-gramoffered throughFIRST, anonprofit organization that de-signs programs that motivateyoung people to pursue educa-tionandcareeropportunities inscience, technology, engineer-ing and math.

FIRST was founded in 1989by inventor and entrepreneurDean Kamen to inspire stu-dents’ interest and participa-tion in science and technology,Heckman explained.

“I believe what Kamen sawwhen he started this programwas that the average youth isnot going to be a professionalNBA player, but they can be anengineer or a scientist,” Heck-man said. “We (at Emerson)look at this as an investment inengineers of the future.”

He hopes the Ryle Roboticsteam will evolve into the theBoone County Robotics team.

Currently, the district islooking for more professionalmentors, sponsors, anda largerfacility for meetings and stor-age in order to make that hap-pen.

According to Emerson engi-neer David Lindsay, who helpsthe Ryle team, being involvedhas been “very rewarding anda lot of fun.”

“What we’re trying to do isinspire,” Lindsay said. “Wewant toshowthestudents theseskills and inspire them to pur-sue more. We want to sparktheir interest.”

Lindsay said he was espe-cially excited about this year’scompetition,and impressedwith the students’ strategy andhard work.

This year, robotic teamsacross the nationwere asked todesign a robot, fromscratch, tothrow Frisbees to earn points.For bonus points, the robotscouldbeprogrammed to climb.Theclimbingstructureofferedthree levels; the higher the lev-el the more the points. Teamswere given six weeks to com-plete the task.

“Theglamorous thingwas toshoot the Frisbees, but the stu-dents realized the way to winwas to climb,” Lindsay said.“They came up with it.”

According to Kara Lindsay,15, David’s daughter and mem-ber of the Ryle Robotics team,there were too many variableswiththeFrisbees, includingtheaim and interference from oth-er robots on the field. The op-portunity to earn bonus points

offered fewer variables andmore points. So they built andprogrammed their robot toclimb, and focused strictly ongetting to the highest level.

“It was the most logicalthing todo,” saidKara, a sopho-more.

During many of the minicompetitions throughout theday, their logic was proven tobe on the mark.

During the Frisbee portionofoneof themini competitions,forexample, the teamthatRylewas a part of earned just twopoints while their competitorshad 27. After the bonus pointswere factored in, the teamRylewas on had earned 45 points;their competitors 37, with 30earned by Ryle’s climbing ro-bot.

“The competition was fun,”

Karasaid. “Itwasnervewrack-ing – is it going to make (theclimb)? And it did.”

The best part of the experi-ence, Kara said, was that “ev-eryone comes together as ateam.”

Heckman said Emerson andthe district hopes the four highschools can come together tobuild upon the robotics pro-gram.

“It’d be so great if the entiredistrict has this opportunity,”he said. “This program getsstudents excitedabout science,math, problem solving andtechnology. We hope that otherbusinesses will get involved.This is a great investment.”

AUGUST 15, 2013 • FLORENCE RECORDER • A7

On Aug. 17, 1943, Carl Kigerand his son Jerry were shotdead and his wife shot in thehip. This took place at theirsummer home, Rosegate, onRoute 25 south of Mt. ZionRoad.

Violent murder, gangsterconnections, big-name law-yers, the vice-mayor of Co-vington, Covington police,guns, gangsters, hearsay evi-dence, expert witnesses, re-porter frenzy, alleged payoffs,sensationalized funerals, theaccused a pretty teen-agedgirl, a man and young sonmurdered in their beds, wifeshot in the hip, big moneyfound in the house, jail-houseinformation, courtroom wiredfor teletype, bold newsprintheadlines – galvanized thelocals to the extent that thoseyet living who experienced it,remember it well.

Boone County was a quiet,peaceful community in 1943.The Kiger trail caused a furor,not only locally, but nationally.

A few years ago, a localgroup got together to re-createthe courtroom drama. I dare-say those of you fortunateenough to have seen it, re-

member itwell too. Whileoriginal courtrecords arelong lost news-paper ac-counts oftengave the un-folding testi-mony line forline.

Carl C.Kiger was thevice-mayor ofCovington,then in thegrip of orga-nized gam-bling interestsin a far-offcity. Carl wasreputed to bethe “bag man.”Carl and hisfamily lived on

Crescent Avenue in Covingtonwhere the Cork and Bottleparking lot is now. They main-tained a country home inBoone County.

The hot night of Aug. 17,with the house windows anddoors locked up tightly, thedeeds were done. Boone sher-iff, Jake Williams found the

crime scene compromised byCovington and other officialswho got there first.

Carl and Jennie Kiger’sdaughter Joan Marie Kiger, anexcellent, well-mannered stu-dent at La Salette Academy inCovington, was charged withthe crime. Testimony revealedthat she was in the lockedhouse and shot at intruders.

The house was found to be stilllocked! Legendary lawyerSawyer Smith made the casefor her suffering from nightterrors and that she did it un-der the influence of a baddream.

Joan was found innocentand was later in and out ofinstitutions for the insane.Ultimately she moved to Jef-

ferson County, graduated fromthe University of Louisvilleand spent her life as a respect-ed teacher in Jefferson Coun-ty, under the pseudonym Ma-rie Kiler. Her mother went onto work for a local departmentstore.

It is this writer’s opinionthat the re-enactment of thecase presented by Bruce Fer-guson (sheriff), Asa Rouse(prosecutor) and Kelly Fulmer(lawyer Sawyer Smith), accu-rately represented what hap-pened. Further, that the juryfinding was correct. A book onthe subject shows a quite dif-ferent spin on things. Check itout at the Local History De-partment of your Boone Coun-ty Public Library, which hasthe book and more.

The Boone County Historic Preser-vation Review Board meets at 4 p.m.the second Thursday of mostmonths. Meetings are open to thepublic. For more information abouthistoric preservation in Boone Coun-ty please contact the Review Boardat 859-334-2111 [email protected]. TheReview Board is online atwww.boonecountyky.org/pc.

Everything from strawsto packing peanuts

On July 30 the OckermanMiddle SchoolDanceTeamcov-ered five miles of road in Bur-lington for a Trash for Cashevent. There were 12 membersof the team and their parentswho picked up trash alongBoone Aire Drive, ConstitutionDrive and Centennial Circle.

We collected a lot of trashfrom these roads to help cleanupourcommunity.Weweresur-prised how many cups, strawsandbagsfromrestaurantswerealong the roadways. We alsopicked up cans, bottles and abox of Styrofoam packing pea-nuts,whichwere just thrownonthe side of the road.

This experiencemade an im-pact on the girls on the team. Itshowed themwhat litter does toour community and what theycan do to help. It provided themwith an opportunity to see theproblem and made them awarethat everypersonmustmakeaneffort to stop littering.

If you think breastfeedingsuccess is all up to themotherand baby, you’re wrong. It’strue that the actual act of nurs-ing is betweenmother andbaby, but to set amother up forlong-term success at breast-feeding, she’ll need help fromthe baby’s father, grandpar-ents, friends, family, her em-ployer and policymakers.

The statistics demonstratethe struggle: In Kentucky,more than half ofmoms, or52.6 percent, start out breast-feeding their infants. Ournumbers aremuch lower thanthe national average of 77percent breastfeeding at birth.

Then reality sets in. Momsget home, and they have otherchildren, housework, workoutside the home, errands torun… and the breastfeedingrates fall off. Just 32.5 percentof babies in Kentucky arebreastfed at 6months; by12months, the number drops to18.9 percent.

In 2011, Regina Benjamin,

then the U.S.SurgeonGen-eral, releaseda call to actionto supportbreastfeeding.In it, shewrote, “Giventhe impor-tance ofbreastfeedingfor the healthandwell-beingofmothers

and children, it is critical thatwe take action across the coun-try to support breastfeeding.”

While we still have a longway to go, recent policychanges aremaking breast-feeding easier.

The Affordable Care Act,commonly referred to as Oba-macare, requires health insur-ance plans to cover lactationsupport and counseling. Thismeans womenwith insurancecan get lactation consultationsand breast pumps (rental orone for you to keep) at no cost.

There’s a catch, though: Theprovision only applies to insur-ance plans created afterMarch 23, 2010.Manywomenare covered by plans createdprior to this, which are exemptthrough a grandfather clause.However, as plans are revised,more womenwill be covered.

If you are pregnant andplan to breastfeed, or are cur-rently breastfeeding, call yourinsurance provider to see whatbreastfeeding benefits you areeligible for.

Provisions in the Afford-able Care Act also supportwomenwho choose to pumpbreastmilk once they return towork. Employers withmorethan 50 employeesmust pro-videmothers with a privateplace, other than a bathroom,in which to express breastmilk. Theymust also givewomen “reasonable breaktime” in which to pump for upto a year after the child isborn.

Lastly, Kentucky law also

protects breastfeedingmoth-ers. State law is that, “Amoth-ermay breastfeed her baby orexpress breastmilk in anylocation, public or private,where themother is otherwiseauthorized to be.” Thismeansmoms have the right to feedbabies in public.

We’ve heralded the healthbenefits of breastfeeding formany years, and that effect isshown by the increase in thenumber ofmothers who initi-ate breastfeeding.

But for long-term success,we need a shift in our culture –to a society that ismore sup-portive ofmothers who chooseto breastfeed their babies, sothat the good intentions of themother who initiates breast-feeding at birth are easy tomaintain with the support ofher family, friends, employerand community.

Dr. LynneM. Saddler is districtdirector of health at the NorthernKentuckyHealth Department.

On Saturday, Aug. 3, at theannual Fancy Farm picnic infar western Kentucky, Sen.Mitch McConnell and his twoleading challengers – TeaParty candidate Matt Bevinand 34-year-old DemocratSecretary of State AlisonLundergan Grimes – took thethree inside positions.

McConnell should haveconcerns out of the gate witha 51 percent disapproval, andbeing neck-and-neck withGrimes in two recent polls.He handled the challengerswith tactics from a veteran’scampaign playbook and herealizes their handicaps.

As McConnell approachedthe podium, roughly equallysized crowds representingMcConnell and Grimes re-flected the polls, yelling al-ternatively, “We Want Mitch”and “Ditch Mitch.” He re-

fused to for-mally ac-knowledgeeither chal-lenger (Bevinwhatsoever),and insteadreminded theaudience ofthe common-wealth’s dis-dain forDemocraticleadership.

His speech cast him as acandidate against Obama,Pelosi or Reid, not Grimes.“Every liberal in America isout to beat us,” he said, point-ing at the stable of Demo-crats who he said standagainst coal, against liberties,and against lower taxes.

In courting the state’s in-dependent voters, he subtlytouted his influence in the

Senate chamber that wouldbe lost if he were replaced,saying you can’t take care ofnational issues for Kentuckyfrom the back-bench.

Grimes is a more-than-formidable candidate hand-picked by the establishment.Playing up McConnell’s ob-structionist label while helooked on and smirked inchesaway in the first chair, shedeclared with the best jab ofthe afternoon, “If the doctorstold Senator McConnell hehad a kidney stone, he’d re-fuse to pass it.”

McConnell disappearedbefore insurgent Matt Bevinintroduced himself to thestate. Bevin is a Kentuckyimmigrant and first-timecandidate who might developa niche following with sup-port from unique places. Cansuch a challenger defeat an

establishment figure? AskRand Paul, the newcomerwho ran under the Tea Partybanner in 2010 to defeatMcConnell’s hand-pickedcandidate.

Grimes has created herown muddy track. Last week,Politico revealed five issuesshe refused to discuss,though her party has takenclear positions on the same.She must run from her lead-ers and from their views,while simultaneously con-vincing conservative andmoderate Kentucky voterswhy they should support her.You can bet the old war horsewill soon exploit his oppo-nent’s uncertain start to avoidthat one fateful career loss.

DAY 2 - FENCING LESSON

My psychic froze, her dan-gling earrings dancing ather cheeks as she peeredthrough the velvet-cov-

ered card table between us.“I’m getting the phrase, ‘Know

thyself,’” she said. “You need to seekout your true self.”

That’s exactly what I’m doing, Ithought.

I turned 30 on Aug. 6. Being thequintessential theatrical Leo that Iam, I knew this mild milestone mole-hill required a transformation into amountain of merriment and immod-eration.

I am, as my boyfriend once de-clared, “celebrasive.”

Thus, “30 in 30 by 30” was born: Idecided to undertake 30 new experi-ences in the 30 days leading up tomy 30th birthday, documentingeverything in my blog. Marking thethird decade of my life would notmerely be a reason to partake ofcake but also an opportunity to un-dertake unknown adventures.

Seeing a psychic was Day 15.Sadly, she had no advice to offer onmy upcoming plans. She didn’t men-tion that I should probably reapplysunscreen on my legs while tubingor else risk a serious solar smack-down, and she made no mention ofwhich ambrosial offerings at HelloHoney would makeme happiest.

But maybe it was for the best, asthe unexpected always seemed to bethe most fun part of each adventure.I’d already discovered that fencingwith an épée is not as easy as myagile brother-in-lawmade it look,though he illustrated infinite pa-tience while trying to teach me thebasics.

I’d gained a deeper appreciationfor law enforcement by spending anevening riding with a thoughtfulBoone County sheriff as he offeredaid to those in need. I’d enjoyed ahilarious car ride with my parentswho took me to the outer reaches ofrural Kentucky searching for theCircle Line V “ghost ship” before werealized she was unspottablethrough the thick July underbrush.

I’d donned a thrift store gown toan opera, wandered around the rav-aged interior of the historic RussellTheatre in Maysville and spent asweltering afternoon fashioning aknife from a deer bone at Big BoneLick.

I had hoped that all of these freshadventures would push me to dis-cover uncharted aspects of my per-sonality, revealing unplumbedtruths about who I am at this point inmy life.

But, just as my psychic was un-able to tell me anything I didn’t al-ready know, each adventure seemedto point to a reality that I’m alreadywell aware of: I am incredibly luckyto be surrounded by amazing people.

When a heartbreaking funeralforced me to cancel my plans oneday, I resigned myself to morosewallowing. But my spectacular manwokeme early with a surprise tripto a reptile show. It sounds silly, butbeing social with strangers and theiraccompanying snakes somehowmade the daymore bearable.

When one Tuesday I was at a lossfor adventure ideas, my parentswere happy to spend dinner Goo-gling a suitable surprise: a sprinkle-doused treat at Fillmore’s DairyHut.

My best friend offered to guideme through the orchard of an ac-quaintance, dutifully snapping pho-tographic evidence while we giggledand sipped wine.

Scrawling what can only be de-scribed as the most philosophical ofpencil mustaches on my upper lip,my sister helped me stage an eru-dite picture to accompanymy com-pletion of the Proust Questionnaire.

I’m afraid that neither my psy-chic nor I can see the future. But Idon’t need a clairvoyant to know thatwhatever adventures await in thenext 30 years, lasting relationshipswith my loved ones are at the heartof my happiness.

Sometimes I wish Iwas a high-tech person.Like a while back when Imade dilly beans and tookphotos of the beanspicked frommy gardenalong with photos of thefinished beans after can-ning. I still have the photoof the garden beans, butthe finished beans in jarsphoto has vanished and Idon’t know how to re-trieve it frommy camera.I can’t take another photo

because,well, thebeans areall gone.

Therecipemakes fourjars andwere sogood thatwe ate a jarand gavethe other

three away. But I promiseyou will love the beans,photo or not.

I was blown away bythe huge response to TomW.’s request for a 7-Upcake that was publishedyears ago in the Enquirer.The stories alonemademe chuckle, not to men-tion how good all therecipes looked. I willshare both in an upcom-ing blog. Today I’m shar-ing two versions: Onefrom scratch, which Tomwanted, and another us-ing a cakemix. Somefolks don’t ice the cake,but others do so I’m shar-ing icing recipes as well.

Rita’s classic dillybeans

Friend and colleagueLeah Ochs, director ofJungle Jim’s cookingschool, has a similar reci-pe and substitutes Sri-racha sauce to taste forthe pepper flakes.

2 generous pounds greenbeans, trimmed to fitcanning jars

4 teaspoons dill seed or 4large heads dill

4 small cloves garlic1 teaspoon red pepperflakes, divided (optional)

21⁄2 cups clear vinegar21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup canning salt

Pack beans lengthwiseinto four hot pint jars,leaving 1⁄4-inch head

space. To each pint, add 1⁄4teaspoon pepper, 1 clovegarlic and 1 teaspoon dillseed. Bring vinegar, wa-ter and salt to a boil. Pourimmediately over beans,leaving 1⁄4-inch headspace. Remove air bub-bles by sliding a butterknife around inside edgesof jars. Wipe rims cleanwith damp cloth. Placeseals and rings on. Proc-ess 10 minutes in boilingwater bath. These arebest eaten chilled.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you don’t want tocan these, cap and seal,cool to room temperatureand store in refrigeratorup to six months.

7-Up cake fromscratch

Here’s Donna A.’srecipe from 30 years ago.Tomwanted a from-scratch recipe, so hope-fully this will work.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened3 cups sugar5 eggs3 cups flour2 tablespoons lemon extract3⁄4 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Cream sugarand butter together andbeat until light and fluffy(about 20 minutes with anelectric beater). Addeggs, one at a time and

beat well. Add flour onecup at a time. Beat inlemon extract and 7-Up.Pour batter into a wellgreased and floured jum-bo, fluted Bundt pan.Bake for 1-11⁄4 hours.

lemon pound cake. Juststir 2⁄3 cup confectioner’ssugar with 1 tablespoon orso lemon juice.

the alcohol. I’m not surewhat you’d substitute.”Any suggestions?

1package Duncan HinesLemon Supreme CakeMix

1 4-cup package instantlemon pudding

1⁄2 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Combine above

ingredients and beat 2minutes. Prepare a Bundtpan (spray well) and pourmixture in. Bake 45-55minutes.

Diana’s glazeDiane didn’t say if she

cooked the glaze, but Iwould assume the sugarhas to melt, so I’d cook itover very low heat untilsugar melts. Add bourbon

last.1⁄2 stick butter, meltedScant 2⁄3 cup sugar1⁄3 cup bourbon (or whatever,rum is good too)

Stir in bourbon. Prickholes in cake and pour onglaze.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke EnergyKentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers would increase to ($0.038919) perhundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers would remain at $0.000000 per hundredcubic feet.
