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

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

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

Fort Thomas’s 1,146 acres offorest is the largest amount ofwooded acreage of any city inCampbell County, according tothe 2008 Campbell County For-est Quality Assessment pre-pared by Northern KentuckyUniversity. Wooded areas com-prise31percentof thcity’s 3,661acres.

The conservancy is close the

signing of its first conservationeasement with the city to pre-serve 6.5 acres of RossfordPark in the north end of the city,Thomas said.

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

Fort Thomas City Adminis-trator Don Martin said the cityhas been working with the Con-servancy for three years on aconservation agreement forpart of Rossford Park.

“We are working coopera-tively to finalize an agreementthat will help to create andmaintain a natural bufferaround much of the perimeterof Rossford Park,” Martin said.

FORT THOMAS — A board ofeducation debate over when tostart, and end, the 2014-15school year has ended with avote to stick with a plan tenta-tively approved in 2013.

The Fort Thomas Indepen-dent Schools Board of Educa-tion voted 4-1Feb.10 on the planthat will start school Monday,Aug. 11.

Board member Jeff Beachwas the lone no vote againstkeeping the existing calender.Beach’s motion to approve dif-ferent proposed schedule, witha first day of Aug. 15, failed forthe lack of a second vote of sup-port.

Beach said he likes the ideaof a starting school as late as af-ter Labor Day in order to give

people a longer summer, but heknew that wasn’t realistic.

“I’m a big believer in thatschools should start later,” hesaid.

The approved calendar forthe upcoming school year in-cludes winter break Dec. 22-Jan. 2, and a spring breakMarch 26-April 3, 2015. The fi-nal day of classes will be May27, 2015. Five scheduled make-up days, if needed, will be May28 and 29, and June 1 through 3,2015.

Superintendent Gene Kirch-ner said each of the calendarproposals the boardwas consid-ering supported instruction,and in creating an alternate cal-endar the board was trying togather input from communitymembers.

A January survey per-formed by the district had 740

respondents, and 60 percent ofthe people were in favor of theproposedcalendar theboard re-jected at the Feb. 10 meeting.

Kristi Bowman, a parent ofthree children in districtschools, spoke at the start of themeeting against the alternatecalendar to begin school laterthan the existing calendar.

The board’s reopening of theissue of the calendar was disap-pointing, Bowman said. The ex-isting calendar was tentativelyapproved nine months ago togive parents a chance to planaround when school opens,closesandformajorbreaks, shesaid.

“We’ve made plans on it, weshould have been able to counton it,” Bowman said.

Buy aing she was satisfied theboard voted to stick withthe calendar the boardhad tentatively approvedand announced.

Board member BradFennell saidhewas insup-port of a different calen-dar proposal in January,onewith a later start date.Fennell said he changed

his mind over the pastmonth.

“We had no real reasonfor changing it other thansome participation fromthe public,” Fennell said.

BoardchairwomanKa-ren Allen said she wassticking with the existingbecause the board didvote on it previously. Al-len said the board theboard can learn from thecalendar debate and re-evaluate how the districtsets up the calendar.

The calendar is aschool board responsibil-ity, she said. Although theboard likes to get parentand staff input, it’s a deci-sion the board should ownand then communicate tothe public.

“If this is the biggestproblem that we have inthis district then kudos toall of us,” Allen said.

Many people are sur-prised to learn there is somuch forested area inFortThomas, andmuchofit can be seen from theshores of the Ohio River

Surrounded by pinkand purple constructionpaper, and colorful mark-ers, SophiaCollins is onanimportant mission.

“It’s important for ev-eryone toget aValentine’sDay card,” the second-gradeGoodridge Elemen-tary School student said.“Everyone should get agift or card or some-thing.”

This Valentine’s Day,Collins, her Goodridgeclassmates, and studentsat Burlington Elemen-tary,madesurethatveter-ans at the Cincinnati VAMedical Center and thehospital’s Fort Thomas di-vision received a token ofaffection.

More than 580 cardsweremadeby the schools,in partnership with theToyota Veterans Associa-tion, based out of Toyota’sHebron facility.

“The cardswill go oververy well for the veter-ans,” said Toyota Veter-ansAssociationChairmanEric Carroll. “The valen-tines mean someone isthinking about them andcares about the sacrificethey made for our coun-try. Many of the veteransthere are long-term (pa-tients) and rarely getmailor visits, so this small to-ken of the schools appre-ciation will do wondersand lift their spirits.”

First-grade BurlingtonElementary School teach-er Laura Bross said mak-ing the cards has beengood for the students.

“We want students torecognize the need to dosomething kind for some-one else,” she said. “Wealsowant to thank the vet-erans for their service.”

Goodridge Family Re-source Coordinator LauraMosqueda said the stu-dents were excited aboutmaking the cards. Initia-

lly the school had beenasked tomake just 75, butstudents made more than200. “Students at Goo-dridge are very in tunewith our veterans. Theylove the opportunity toshow their appreciationfor all they do.”

Goodridge second-grade student Ben Rich-

ards said he enjoyedmak-ingcardsfor theveterans.“In my card I got to tellthemthat I’m thankful forthem and that they’re im-portant to the country.”

SIDELINES

An offseason coachingchange, a brutally diffi-cult schedule, and a slowstart could have easily ledto a rebuilding season forthe ThomasMore Collegemen’s basketball team.

Instead the Saints’ fiveseniors and first-yearhead coach Drew Cooperrallied together andturned the season around.After starting the season2-9, the Saints entered thefinal week of the regularseason with a 12-10 markand a chance to earn atleast a share of the Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence championship.

“Sure, therewasdoubt.Things are going to besecond-guessed any timea team starts the season2-9,”Coopersaid. “It’snat-ural towonder ifyou’reonthe right path. Being afirst-year coach askingveteran players to makechanges and to changephilosophies is tough.”

The leadership of sen-iors Brandon Housley(Holmes), JosefMarshall,Spencer Berlekamp, Eliot

Pipes, and D’Carlo Hayeshas been instrumental tothe Saints’ turnaround.Thomas More won 10 ofits first11conferencecon-tests before falling atThiel on Feb. 15.

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

The seniors take ac-countability for morethan their own perfor-mance.

They feel an obligationto help the underclass-men adapt to the new sys-tem and style of play un-der Cooper’s staff. Theywant to teach their team-mates how to work hard,both on and off the court.

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

Another key for theSaints has been theirdepth.

Marshall missed thefirst two months of theseason with a foot injury.

Underclassmen, likefreshman Nate McGov-ney (Campbell County),have emerged into biggerroles.Theirdepthandbal-ance helped the playersremain calm during theearly season swoon.

“We knew thatwith theplayers and leadershipthat we have, we wouldget it on track,” McGov-ney said.

The Saints can go 10 ormore players deep in agame, and have had fouror more players score indoublefigures in thesamegame on multiple occa-sions. The Saints set aschool record with 18made three-pointers -from nine different scor-ers - in a Feb. 8 win overWashington and Jeffer-son.

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

The Saints assist onmore than 50 percent oftheir made field goals,and average 16 assistscompared to just 12 turn-overs per game. Theteam’s field goal percent-age is better than last sea-

son’s, and has steadily im-proved over the course ofthis season. The playerstake pride in their unself-ishness.

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

Thomas More entersthe final week of the sea-son in third place in thePAC, behind Bethany andSt. Vincent. The Saintstravel to Bethany on Feb.19 and host St. Vincent inthe regular season finaleon Feb. 22.

They realize that theirpatience has paid off andthey now control theirown destiny as they seekthe program’s first regu-lar season conference ti-tle since 2009.

“We are playing veryunselfish basketball andare getting uncontestedshots,” Cooper said. “Theplayers have seen whatwe’re starting to do isworking. At this point inthe season, it’s a lot offun.”

Starting a professionalsoccer team in Cincinnatiis challenging.Manyhavetried and, ultimately, fellshort of their goals. DavidSatterwhite and the Cin-cinnati Saints hope amerger with Louisville’sRiver City Legends willboost the Saints’ fortunesand lead to longevity.

The Saints have beenaroundsince2009,provid-ing professional men’sand women’s teams aswell as a youth program.The Saints have part-nered with the Legendsand will play the 2013-14season in the ProfessionalArena Soccer League pre-mier division as the River

City Saints. The partner-ship will broaden thereach of both programsand should increase theorganization’s chances ofmoving up in the profes-sional ranks.

“As we start to look forplayersoutsideof thecity,we are going to continueto set the bar higher andhigher every year. Bycontinuing to set the barhigher and higher, thismeans that Cincinnati’syouth players will be ableto see a higher level ofplay, right here in theirown backyard,” said Sat-terwhite, the Saints’president and CEO.

For the 2013-14 season,the Saints are calling theTri-County Soccerplexhome. Cincinnati soccer

fans will recognize manyfamiliar faces on the ros-ters, including severalwhoplayedfor theCincin-nati Kings. Now, Ken-tucky soccer fans will mi-grate north to follow theirfavorite players.

The Saints have a goodunderstanding of whatthey need to do to buildsoccer interest in this re-gion. It goes beyond justperforming on the pitch.

Satterwhite hopes thatthemergerwith theRiverCity Legends will have atrickle-down effect onyouth soccer in the re-gion. The first four yearsof the program werespent focusing on build-ing infrastructureofplay-ers, coaches, staff andsponsors. The consolida-

tion with River City willplay a big role in the or-ganization’s next step, ofgetting out in the commu-nity and building a largefan base.

“One thing I will not doas the President and CEOof the club is to jump intothese higher pro leaguesbefore we have the fanbase to support those lev-els. This has been the big-gestmistakeof everypro-fessional soccer team inCincinnati before us andwhy every team beforethe Saints have folded,”said Satterwhite. “I havemade promises to myplayers, staff and fansthat we will always bearound even if it takes us30 years to get to the high-er pro levels.”

fifth and 10th frames ineach game. Other start-ers, in order, wereNathanSchutte, Jimmy Penrod,Brandon Caruso andJames Killen.

At least four timesdur-ing the tournament, Far-ley needed two strikes inthe 10th frame to win thegame and delivered eachtime. In a tense 3.5-2.5winover Fern Creek in thequarterfinals, he hadthree strikes to pull High-lands into a 206-206 tie ingame 3 (the tie was notbroken, by rule).

“I just wanted to come

through for the team,” hesaid. “I justdidwhat Inor-mally do, just go up andthrow strikes.”

Scott County shot a 231and 233 in its first twogame wins to stay out ofFarley’s range. Farleywon the National GuardBest & Brightest Awardfor his performance,awarded by the KHSAA.

“He was phenomenal,”Schmidt said. “Whatmorecan you ask for? Hebowled all day yesterday.Today, he told me he wastired. He had a good timehere. I think he reallymade a name for himselfhere.”

Farley finished fourthin thestatesingles tourna-ment the day before. He

averaged 233 in fivegames of qualifying, thenfell 229-223 to MichaelMcCubbins of Male in thefirst match of the finals.

“It was a good experi-

ence for the future,” Far-ley said. “Hopefully I canget in this tournamentagain next year and doeven better.”

RADICAL ROBOTICS

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is no doubt in Nye’s

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

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

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

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

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

debate and raise questions ofwho and what makes us humananyway.

Science has helped us great-ly understand our physicalworld.

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

Evolving the debate toward humanness

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I makedumplings,too, butmine are

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

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

No-peek herbeddumplings

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

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

11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄4 teaspoon each salt andpepper or to taste

1⁄2 cupmilk or bit more, ifneeded

3 tablespoons butter

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

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

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

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

repairshops arecurrentlylicensed inOhio.

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

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

The state licensing

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

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

two-thirds that amountwith that first repair shop.

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

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

“If they had presented

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

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

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

shop“The board could veri-

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

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

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

has an ending on thisEarth.

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

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

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