All the trays on one aluminum cart are loadedwith opera cream eggs, bunnies and turtles, allcoated with chocolate and ready for Eastermunching.
A lady with gently blue-bonneted hair gentlyand delicately scribes white icing on the surfaceof chocolate-coated opera creams. Using a jellybean here, a dab of color there, Connie Freuden-berg makes each one look like smiley faces.With two short weeks until Easter, candy mak-ing at his store’s factory, 1020 Saratoga St., New-port, goes on six and seven days per week.
“At this time of year, I work so many hours, Ilose track,” said Bob Schneider, who learned thebusiness at Bissinger’s in Cincinnati, and laterunder his father’s expert hand in Newport.
“Easter and Valentine’s are our biggesttimes, but Christmas with assorted chocolatesand opera creams is pretty big, too,” Bob said.“We make candy the way we did in 1939, focus-ing on quality.”
Bob, 73, operates the Sweet Tooth at 125 West11th St., Newport.
Over in Bellevue, Jack Schneider, 62, runsSchneider’s Sweet Shop, 420 Fairfield Ave.
While the brothers operate independently asseparate businesses, each place is an institutionwith legions of loyal followers.
At the Sweet Tooth, on a recent evening, Dot-tie Minderman, a 45-year veteran, worked withJaimie Reis, 20, a Northern Kentucky Univer-sity student and granddaughter of Bob. The
white store displays Easter opera cream eggsthat can be personalized, light brown caramels,made on a very, very old but reliable machine atthe factory, are cut by hand in small blocks forchewy eating.

HIGHLANDHEIGHTS – Before everyelection, voters call Ken-ton County Clerk Gabri-elle Summe’s office ask-ing when they can voteearly.
They can’t.Early voting allows
people to vote in the daysbefore polls are open onElection Day.
“I always get a lot ofphone calls from peoplebecause they hear all thenews about Ohio (earlyvoting),” Summe said.“And they’re calling tofind out what our hoursare.”
“We have to explain tothem we aren’t open,”Summe said.
Northern Kentuckyvoters seeking early vot-
ing in Ohio and 36 otherstates have an ally in Ken-tucky’s elections chief.
Kentucky Secretary ofState Allison LunderganGrimes visited NorthernKentucky UniversityWednesday to announceKentucky’s new onlineregistration portalwww.govoteky.com and topush for support of a lawto allow early voting.
On March 14, Kentuckybecame the 31st state to al-low online registration.
“We’re here in North-ern Kentucky for a rea-
son, and it is because whilewe have gone to suchgreat lengths to make iteasier to register to voteonline, I hope it’s not ourlast step,” Grimes said.
Grimes asked voters tocheck their registrationstatus using www.govoteky com and call and emailstate Senate leaders andvoice support for a Housebill creating 12 days ofearly voting before eachelection. By contrast,Ohio’s window for earlyvoting is 35 days.
Grimes said she hopesKentucky state senatorswill vote on an early vot-ing bill passed by Houseleaders March 14 beforethis legislative sessionends.
Summe counts herselfas a proponent of earlyvoting. “We want moreturnout,” she said.
Low voter turnout con-cerns Grimes.
Last year’s gubernato-rial election was decidedby a less than 1 million ofthe state’s 3.2 million reg-istered voters, she said.
“Folks, we barely hitupwards of 30 percent,”Grimes said.
Kentucky is above av-erage in voter registra-tion, but not turnout, she
said.“This upcoming presi-
dential election our hopeis that we will surpass the50 percent mark,” shesaid.
Early voting will givepeople latitude they needto avoid Election Day joband life circumstances toincrease the number ofpeople participating,Grimes said.
“We have made it easi-er for folks to register tovote online atgovoteky.com and now weneed to make it easier forthem to be a part of theprocess and exercise theirfranchise,” she said.
Kentucky already al-lows voting in advance fora select group of voters,including members of themilitary and people whocan prove they will be outof the county during Elec-tion Day for work.
Newly registered voterNKU freshman Chzar-lotte Corpus, of Independ-ence, said she attendedGrimes’ presentation tolearn as much as she canbefore stepping in a votingbooth for the first time.
Corpus said she wantsto pass on what shelearned about registrationto friends and classmateswho are not engaged in“an important electionyear.” Personally, Corpussaid she hasn’t seen muchto like about candidatesfor president this year.
“It’s always scandalousand the opponents try tosay the worst things abouteach other,” she said.

HIGHLANDHEIGHTS – A few yearsback while travelingacross the country, JasonMerrick tried to hide hisdrug addiction from his fa-ther.
“I was addicted toopioids, alcohol and crackcocaine. I tried to hide us-ing, lying, cheating andstealing,” Merrick told anaudience of 55 in NorthernKentucky University’sGriffin Hall Digitorium.
The topic: “Heroin andNorthern Kentucky: Howare we responding? Whatmore can we do?” was aNorthern Kentucky Fo-rum event engineered byNKU’s Scripps HowardCenter for Civic Engage-ment.
Merrick said he finally“stepped over the line andhad a moment of claritywhen someone said “Getthe help you deserve.”
Today, Merrick is agraduate student in socialwork and directs a treat-ment/recovery programat the Kenton County De-tention Center.
Heroin, he said, grabspeople more tightly thanalcohol, cocaine or mari-juana, making the initialescape staying free of thestuff a more challengingtask that freedom fromthe other drugs. Somemembers of AlcoholicsAnonymous might chal-lenge Merrick because ex-tricating oneself from al-cohol is not a walk in thepark.
Other speakers wereKenton County Judge-ex-ecutive Kris Knochel-mann, Ohio State Rep. De-nise Driehaus and NKUpsychology professor Per-ilou Goddard. The twoelected officials empha-sized the need for properfinancial resources to bat-tle addiction. The need fora professionally staffedHelp Line, for additionaldetoxification beds, andfor public education intothe science of addiction as
a disease and the nature ofheroin addiction also wereideas discussed.
The audience was com-prised almost entirely ofofficials in the addictionbattles from all NorthernKentucky counties. Sever-al were parents who havelost children to heroin.
Part of the event fea-tured a documentary look-ing at the heroin epidemic
in the Greater Cincinnatiarea, featuring a prettyall-everything-in-high-school blonde mother whoexplained her path to her-oin started with pain pillslegally prescribed. Shewas not a bad person, shesaid. But her first experi-ence with heroin producedsuch a “wonderful feel-ing” that she kept trying toreproduce the initial high.
The remainder of the doc-umentary is expected totell the rest of her story.
Takeaways from theevening presentationwere that there is no easyanswer to addiction, whichis a progressive degenera-tion of mind and body. Sci-ence says it is a disease.Money for treatment, ad-judication and public edu-cation must come fromgovernment, the two elect-ed officials said. The sadnews is that in times oftight budgets, people suf-fer.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS –Northern Kentucky Univer-sity’s alumni network is grow-ing: for the first time, there isnow a Black Alumni Council toserve African-American gradu-ates and help support African-American students.
“There was a lot of need andinterest among African-Amer-ican alumni to gather, to stayconnected, to give back, and tohelp create opportunities forAfrican-American students,”said council president CrystalL. Kendrick (’97), a formermember of the NKU AlumniCouncil.
The creation of the Black
Alumni Council comes at a timewhen NKU’s student body isthe most diverse in universityhistory, and the number ofAfrican-American graduates is
growing.“We are proud to welcome
the Black Alumni Council toour network of alumni councilsand associations, which worksto connect alumni, strengthenrelationships, and celebrate theuniversity and our alumni com-munity,” said Michelle McMul-len, director of Alumni Pro-grams & Councils.
NKU’s African-Americanalumni community is on therise: from 1997 to 2011, the num-ber of bachelor’s degrees con-ferred to underrepresentedminority students, includingAfrican-Americans, grew by202 percent.
Following the launch of theuniversity’s 2013-18 strategicplan, Fuel the Flame, the num-ber of bachelor’s degrees con-ferred to underrepresentedminority students has grown by37 percent. Increasing diversi-ty among the student body,faculty, and staff is a centralgoal of the strategic plan.
“The university has done aphenomenal job of recruitingAfrican-American studentsfrom across the region and thestate, and it has made diversityinclusion a priority,” Kendricksaid. “We are proud to join andsupport those efforts.”
Kendrick said the Black
Alumni Council plans to sup-port student success programssuch as NKU ROCKS, whichhelps first-year African-Amer-ican students make the transi-tion from high school to col-lege. The program features astrong peer and faculty/staffmentoring component, and 77percent of ROCKS studentsreturn for their sophomoreyears.
The Black Alumni Councilwas formed in January andalready includes nearly morethan a dozen members. Offi-cers include Kendrick, JeffreyJordan, Bradley Dickerson, andPatrice McCollough.

Two important days to cele-brate this week: the first day ofspring and Easter. I’ve alreadygot my seed potatoes ready toplant. Ditto with the red andwhite onion sets.
Before all that happens we’llbe busy coloringeggs with natu-ral dyes, as usualwith my grand-kids. (Check outmyabouteating.comsite for all thephotos and reci-pes for thesebeautiful eggs).When the littleones come over
to color eggs, we’ll make abatch of empty tomb buns tosnack on. Now some of you mayknow these as balloon buns. Nomatter what you call them, Ithink you’ll have fun makingthem and I know your tummywill be happy.
I hope each of you has a verymeaningful Easter. Think ofthose who may be alone – givethem a call, send a card or setan extra place at your holidaytable. As I always say “it’s notjust about the food, but whoshares it with you.”
Can you help?Kentucky Half Runner
green beans like Mom used tomake
Bill Kirby, a Goshen reader,really needs an old-fashionedAppalachian recipe for halfrunner green beans cookedover a low flame with what hethinks is salt pork.
“My wife, who passed awaylast year, always made thesedelicious beans. She didn’thave a written recipe and Ididn’t pay too much attentionto the way she cooked them.I’ve tried different recipes butnone comes close to hers,” hetold me. Bill also mentioned
that the pork was in the pot forflavoring only, not to eat.
Bill really wants to re-cre-ate these beans “from the hills
of Kentucky.” Some of youhave made beans like this, soany help you can give Bill willbe so appreciated.
Heck, he made me hungry(and a bit wistful) just talkingabout them. I told Bill I havethe best readers who I know
will help.So do that for Bill and prob-
ably more than a few others,won’t you?

Empty tomb buns/balloon bunsThe marshmallow melts in the center of the bun,
so when you bite into it, the bun is hollow but coatedinside with marshmallow, representing Jesus’ resurrec-tion from the tomb. If you go the balloon bun route,again, the inside bakes up hollow but coated withmarshmallow, like a blown up balloon.
12 large biscuits – I used Grands biscuits1 cup sugar1 tablespoon cinnamon12 large marshmallows1 stick melted butter or margarine
Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Dip eachmarshmallow into melted butter, then into sugar cinna-mon mixture. Wrap biscuit around each marshmallowpinching bottom TIGHTLY. (If you don’t do this, themarshmallow will pop out during baking). Dip biscuitinto butter then into sugar cinnamon mixture again.Place pinched side down in sprayed muffin cup pan.Bake according to can directions. (Again, this is impor-tant because if you over bake, the marshmallow popsout of the side).
Sue’s overnight strataSue Dennedy, a New Rich-
mond reader, is one of my herbalfriends and a talented weaverand crafter. Oh, and did I men-tion she’s a wonderful cook, aswell? Sue and I were talkingabout springtime brunch casse-roles.
“I will share my favorite,”she said. Sue has made this forfamily gatherings many years.Wouldn’t this be perfect forEaster or a spring time brunch?

A publication of
MARCH 24, 2016 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • A9
Eight years ago, I was shop-ping for fresh produce at alocal farmers market for mynew restaurant, Bouquet,when a farmer approached meto ask what I was looking for. Itold him about my vision forthe restaurant, and how Ihoped to provide my custom-ers with the freshest, highestquality ingredients I couldfind. If I could find them local-ly, that would be even better.His response? “Let me in-troduce you to some folks.”
That conversation led toconnections with farmers,butchers, producers and arti-sans all throughout Ohio andKentucky, and those part-nerships have continued tothis day. To source local ingre-
dients forBouquet’smenu, I workwith morethan 30 in-credible foodproducers. Myrelationshipswith thesehardworkingpeople havetaught me tounderstandand appreciate
what it means to support alocal food community, but youdon’t need to be in the restau-rant industry to do so. Hereare a few ways you can helpsupport your local food com-munity:
Visit a local farmers mar-
ket. This is an easy task foranyone living in Cincinnati orNorthern Kentucky. Apartfrom your community’s localfarm market, which manycommunities have seasonally,visit Findlay Market in Cincin-nati or Friendly Market inFlorence. Both locations boasta wealth of fresh produce,high-quality cuts of meat, andunique food and craft itemsfrom a number of local arti-sans.
Buy into a CSA. CSA, orCommunity Supported Agri-culture, is a direct-to-consum-er program where consumersbuy a “share” of a local farm’sprojected harvest. Severallocal farms offer this option,including Dark Wood Farm in
Boone County, Turner Farmsin Indian Hill and Yogi and theFarmer in Covington, just toname a few. In most cases, youpick up your seasonal produceeither at the farm or at a farm-ers’ market, and you go homewith a bounty of fresh ingredi-ents for a very affordableprice. You can also considersharing between two or morehouseholds, which makes buy-ing into a CSA even more af-fordable.
Eat local. Bouquet Restau-rant isn’t the only dining op-tion for those looking to sup-port the local food system(although it’s a great option!).From a food stand at yourlocal farmers market to casualand fine dining restaurants,
locally sourced ingredientsare easier to find than youmight think. Ask around, talkto the waitstaff at your favor-ite dining spot, and do a littleresearch before your nextnight out.

Last week’s questionIn how many NCAA tourna-
ment pools are you participat-ing? Do you have a method forpicking winners?
“All together, I am in ex-actly zero tournament poolsthis year. A recent job changeresulted in no one asking meto join in. However, I do havea fool proof method of choos-ing: pick Michigan State towin it all and then choose anyBig 10 team, except for TheOhio State, to win their re-spective games. That, plusalways pick U Conn and Gon-zaga to go quite far. Go
Green!”M.J.F.
“I get in the ESPN onlineentry and do a few brackets. I
do a second pool with somelifelong buddies. Each ‘team’picks eight teams based on ablind draw round robin (1-8then 9-16 etc). In the first oneI can win $1 million if I amperfect and in the second Ican win about $50 that is keptin the ‘pot’ at settlement timefor beverages. No one hasever done a perfect ESPNbracket, but we all have fun inthe round robin. The method Iuse is to ignore the expertsand pick with my gut. Did younotice the experts never winthe ESPN perfect bracketeither? Go figure!”

Here’s a chilling fact. If all4.3 million Kentuckians wereasked to pitch in to fix thestate’s $36 billion public pen-sion problem, every man,woman and child in the com-monwealth would have to pay$8,268.
That $36 billion obligationrepresents the unfunded li-abilities that make Kentucky’spublic pension systemsamong the worst-funded inthe United States. (An un-funded liability is the differ-ence between the value ofpension benefits promisedand the value of assets a pen-sion plan has on hand.)
The financial crisis is put-ting Kentucky under waterand threatens the retirementsecurity of state and localgovernment employees andteachers. But it has a criticaleffect on Kentucky taxpayers.
The underfunding hasprompted national agencies todowngrade Kentucky’s creditrating. That means it coststaxpayers more to buildroads, schools and otherpro-jects that serve the public.
So, how bad is it? A nation-al report last year comparedstate pension funding levelsfor all 50 states. Kentuckyranked 49th – only Illinois waslower. The report found thenational average state pensionfunding level to be 71.8 per-cent. Kentucky’s combinedfunding level for all its sys-tems was only 44.2 percent.That means the systems haveroughly 44 cents to pay for
every dollarthey oweretirees.
Kentucky’stotal unfund-ed pensionliability of$36.4 billionin the lastfiscal yearwas morethan threeand a halftimes the
total General Fund tax reve-nue the state collected thatyear.
The Kentucky Chamberhas focused on this crisis forseveral years. Our first LeakyBucket report in 2009 pointedout tha public benefit costscould not be sustained.
Things have gotten consid-erably worse since then as thedeficit – or unfunded liabil-ities – of Kentucky’s publicretirement systems hasgrown to the $36 billion level.
So, how did this happen?There have been reports thatthe underfunding crisis wasprimarily the result of pastgovernors and General As-sembly to adequately fund theemployer’s contribution to thepension systems.
But other factors alsoplayed a key role. Those in-clude investment losses sincethe 2008 recession, a failure tomeet the assumptions thatpension experts made regard-ing economic and demograph-ic trends, and giving retireescost of living adjustments and
other benefits without provid-ing funds for them.
Gov. Matt Bevin’s proposedbudget includes significantinvestments in the pensionsystems that represent animportant and bold step to-ward restoring their financialhealth. No doubt, makingthese payments will be pain-ful across state government.
The Kentucky Chamber isalso advocating for:
» Comprehensive perfor-mance audits of the retire-ment systems
» A review of the ram-ifications of moving employ-ees to a 401K plan
» Increased transparencyin which each system clearlyreports investment returnsand fees paid to make theinvestments
» An annual report of thePublic Pension OversightBoard that analyzes the oper-ation of each pension systemcompared to other states
» A prohibition againstanyone seeking to provideinvestment services frommaking political contributionsto key policymakers
It took two decades forKentucky to get so deep un-der water and it will takeyears of fiscal discipline byour governor and legislaturefor the commonwealth tocome back up to the surface.For more details about thisissue, visit kychamber.com.

Kentucky drowning inpension financial crisis

For decades, we have knownthat tobacco is a threat to ourhealth. Over time, we havelearned just how harmful to-bacco is and the cost it exactson our health, our quality oflife, and our economy. Fortu-nately, we have also learned
effective waysto preventharm fromtobacco and toprotect wholecommunitiesfrom second-hand smoke.
Tobacco isthe single mostpreventablecause of deathand disease inKentucky and
the U.S. No level of secondhandsmoke is safe. This is painfullyclear in Kentucky where welive with the consequences ofthe second highest smokingrate in the country; the highestrate of births to mothers whosmoked during pregnancy; andthe highest lung cancer andlung cancer death rates in theU.S.
The Foundation for aHealthy Kentucky is a nonprof-it, nonpartisan organizationworking to address the unmethealth care needs of Kentuck-ians. As part of this mission, wehave worked for years to re-duce the harm that tobaccocauses Kentucky communities.Each year, we gauge Kentuck-ians’ views and attitudesthrough the Kentucky HealthIssues Poll – and we’ve beenasking Kentuckians aboutsmoke-free policies.
Since 2011, a majority ofKentuckians has expressedsupport for a statewide, com-prehensive smoke-free policy.In our most recent poll, two-thirds of Kentuckians of allpolitical persuasions expressedsupport for a state law thatwould prohibit smoking in mostpublic places, including work-places, public buildings, of-fices, restaurants and bars. TheCenters for Disease Controland Prevention (CDC) tells usthat smoke-free laws that pro-hibit smoking in public places,including bars and restaurants,lead to health improvementsfor workers and the communityas a whole. We’re already see-ing that impact in places likeLexington, which adopted sucha law over a decade ago. Fur-ther, CDC notes that the more
comprehensive a law is, thegreater the decreases in healthrisk.
This year’s KHIP also foundthat 61 percent of Republicansand Democrats support raisingthe legal age to purchase tobac-co to 21, and nearly half supportfurther increases in the excisetax on tobacco. If you’re one ofthe 26 percent of Kentuckianswho are former smokers, orone of the 26 percent who stilldo, you know the best bet is notto start – and not to share yourexhaled smoke with others.
The Foundation for aHealthy Kentucky supportscomprehensive smoke-freepolicies. Because we are com-mitted to reducing health dis-parities, eliminating healthrisks, and promoting healthequity, the foundation is partic-ularly concerned about policiesthat leave any Kentuckiansunprotected. It’s no secret thatlow-income Kentuckians bear aheavier burden of disease andare likely to die younger thantheir better-off neighbors.
Because smoking and sec-ondhand smoke contribute topoor health in so many ways –cancer, heart disease, diabetes,asthma and other respiratoryproblems, preterm births andbirth defects, among others –lowering exposure to smokingand secondhand smoke cansignificantly impact the healthof Kentuckians. Comprehen-sive smoke-free laws provideprotection for all Kentuckians,without exception.
You know the problem, youknow of proven solutions, andyou know your neighbors standwith you in wanting to breatheclean air where we all live,work and play. If you are anemployer, you can make yourwork site smoke-free. If youdine out, you can choose topatronize only smoke- freeestablishments. If you planevents, hold them in smoke-free jurisdictions. And if you’rean elected official, listen towhat your voters are sayingagain in the most recent Ken-tucky Health Issues Poll.
It is time for us to act toprotect all Kentuckians fromthis wholly preventable causeof death, disease and disability.And we must do so withoutleaving anyone behind.

LEXINGTON - Paul Lau-rence Dunbar (32-6), the top-ranked team in the KentuckyAssociated Press poll, con-tinued its chase for its first-everstate championship by endingthe similar dreams of NewportCentral Catholic March 19.
Dunbar defeated NewCath55-47 in the semifinals of theWhitaker Bank/KHSAA BoysSweet 16 at Rupp Arena. Dun-bar, state runner-up in 1993 and1994, advanced to the finals forthe first time since then. Dun-bar won that first title the nextday by defeating Doss.
NCC, in its first trip to thesemis since 1953 and secondoverall, finished 30-5.
“This team has a lot of tough-ness,” NCC head coach RonDawn said. “They don’t backdown from anybody. They wentright at us and some teams justwithdraw into a shell. That justgot us going and we fought rightback and started taking it tothem. We’re pretty resilient.”
Dunbar, led by all-state ju-nior Taveion Hollingsworth,used its quickness and athleti-cism to get the Thoroughbreds
out of their comfort zone in thesecond half. NCC had 16 turn-overs, three in a crucial latestretch in the fourth quarter.Dunbar had 38 points in thepaint to just 10 for NewCath.NCC shot 40 percent from the
floor to 48 for PLD.“They do a great job of that,”
Dawn said. “They get out andpressure the ball, they get out inpassing lanes. They really takeadvantage of their athleticism.They were quick, strong andvery aggressive.”
Hollingsworth had 18 points.Darius Williams posted a game-high 20 for Dunbar, includingseveral down the stretch in thefourth. Forward Dontell Brownguarded Weyer and limited theBellarmine signee to 16 pointsand nine rebounds on 4-of-13shooting.
“Weyer had 16 points andthat might be the lowest he’shad in a while,” said Dunbar
coach Scott Chalk. “I was reallypleased with (Brown). He did agreat job coming out of the pe-rimeter and guarding a guy outthere which he isn’t used to do-ing.”
Weyer, who had 62 points inthree tourney games, wasNCC’s all-tourney pick alongwith sophomore guard BrennanHall. “We might not have hadthe same talent (as previousyears),” he said. “(Early on), wewere all on different pages. Idon’t know when it clicked butwe all became brothers. We allbecame really close and itshowed on the court when weplayed and I’ll miss these guys alot.”
Seniors are Brian Anderson,Erik Anderson, John Ludwigand Weyer.
“It was so much fun to playhere,” junior Luke Moeves said.“My brothers never got to expe-rience this and my dad didn’t ei-ther. I learned how to be tough-er. Every day in practice it was abattle. We learned mentaltoughness. I love these seniors.I wouldn’t trade them for theworld. I love them.
“If you had told me at the be-ginning of the year we wouldwin region, I would have saidyou were crazy. This region is sotough to get out of.”

NCC routed Murray 75-54 inthe quarterfinals. NCC rolledpast the Tigers 38-17 in the firsthalf. NCC made 7-of-10 3-pointattempts in the first half, threeof them from Weyer and twofrom Hall. The Thoroughbredsshot 11-of-18 from behind thearc for the game.
In contrast to the opening-round win over Trinity, whenWeyer and Hall combined for 28of the team’s 32 points throughthree quarters, all five New-Cath starters scored in the firstquarter as NCC led 17-8.
“I was really happy with thestart we got off to,” Dawn said.“I thought it really key for us toget a lead. We didn’t want to getbehind like we did the other day(11-2) even though it worked out.The guys were more focusedfrom the start today. We wantedto get off to a good start defen-sively and get good shots oneach possession.”
Following a pair of Murrayfree throws to start the secondquarter, NCC went on an 11-0run, nine of them on triples byHall, Weyer and junior AustinNeff. Hall finished the run witha nifty spin move in the lane.
Weyer had 27 points, 12 re-bounds, three assists and threeblocks. Hall finished with 21points on 6-of-13 shooting, 2-of-2from behind the arc. He hadthree assists and was 7-of-8from the line.
“He’s been playing great,”Dawn said of Hall. “He had to sitout two weeks with a concussionand I was worried how he wouldcome back. He had a fantasticgame against CovCath in the re-gional tournament. I don’t thinkit bothers him being in this envi-ronment at all.”
Murray’s leading scorer, sen-ior guard James Boone, who isheaded to Samford, had eightpoints on 2-of-9 shooting. Hehad one field goal in the first
half, with three minutes to go inthe second quarter.
“That was the Andersons,”Dawn said. “Erik got in somefoul trouble and we put Brian onhim. They’re both really soliddefensively. They’re aggres-sive and they do a super job forus. A lot of times they get over-looked. They put so much ener-gy into our team. Brian willknock down the open shot whenhe gets it. They just play so hardand they mean so much to ourteam.”
NCC beat Trinity in the firstround, 48-33, holding the Sham-rocks scoreless for nearly twofull quarters.
NCC made its ninth appear-ance in the Sweet 16, winningseven games. NCC made thesemis in 1953, also losing a third-place game that year, and wonsingle games in 1963, 1974 and1975.

COLUMBUS – For the second straight game,Thomas More’s women’s basketball team facedan opponent which was not intimidated by theSaints’ imposing win streak.
In a Final Four contest Saturday at CapitalUniversity in Columbus, the No. 1-ranked Saintsrode the hot hand of Sydney Moss to a 74-65 winover No. 4 Amherst. With the win, Thomas Moreadvances to the national championship game forthe second straight season. The winning streakis at 65, and the Saints have won 86 of their last87 games.
“I’m glad we made it to the national champi-onship. I think that was our goal all season, to getto the championship game,” Moss said. “Hope-fully, we win back-to-back.”
This was the type of game that earned Mossher third straight national player of the yearaward. With her team locked in a close battle,Moss took over. She finished with a team-high 39points on 14-for-24 shooting. She scored 29 ofthose in the second half.
“I was just trying to get the ball to Syd be-cause her shots were going in,” said Abby Ow-ings, who shot just 3 of 15 from the field. “Lucki-ly Syd’s shots were going in tonight.”
Amherst’s quickness and defense preventedthe Saints from playing the tempo they desire.The team that loves to get out in transition didnot score a single fast-break point. But, theymade up for that with 19 offensive rebounds and25 second-chance points, while holding Amherstto just four second-chance points.
“We were able to grind it out,” said Saintscoach Jeff Hans. “We’ll adapt how we need to.We can grind it.”
The Saints had just 27 points at halftime, af-ter scoring that many in the second quarteralone in the sectional final win over WashingtonU. They did not make a 3-pointer until there was8:32 left in the game. Of course, it was Moss thatfinally buried one from deep. She added onemore, then freshman Madison Temple nailedthe dagger from three to bump the lead to 10points with 36 seconds to play.
“I have never been on a big stage like this be-fore,” Temple said. “It was really cool that wewere able to get the win today and go on to Indi-anapolis for the championship.”
In the first half, the Saints worked the of-fense through forward Nikki Kiernan, who fin-ished with 13 points and seven rebounds. When-ever they needed a basket in the second half,
Moss rose to the occasion. She had 10 points on 5of 9 shooting in the first half, despite sitting thefinal few minutes with two fouls.
In the second half, she dominated. She made 9out of 12 free throws and led the Saints with 11rebounds.
The Saints needed every bucket from Moss.This was only the third time in three seasonsthat a Division III opponent stayed within such aclose margin against the Saints.
“It was fun,” said Hans of playing in a closegame that went down to the wire. His playersdidn’t exactly agree with that assessment.
With the win, the Saints advanced to the titlegame on April 4 in Indianapolis where they willface No. 7 Tufts. It is the second straight FinalFour meeting between the Saints and Jumbos.Last year, Thomas More held off Tufts, 62-52, ina national semifinal. The Jumbos like to slow thegame down and are known for their dominantdefense. In their last meeting, Tufts held Thom-as More to 34.5 percent shooting, but the Saintsheld the Jumbos to 28.6 percent from the field.
The sophomore class, led by Owings andKiernan, knows nothing but national champion-ship games in their time with the Saints.
“It’s a great feeling, especially to go back-to-back,” Kiernan said. “It’s a dream come true.”
The championship will be at Bankers LifeFieldhouse. Tipoff is 6 p.m. Monday, April 4.

Thick, lush lawns are beau-tiful, but weed pressures aresure to emerge this spring.
Spring and summer annualsas well as perennial weeds cannot only distort a picturesquelawn, but also thin your lawnand rob nutrients from ourpreferred fescue. Proper weedidentification and good plan-ning will keep the majority ofyour weeds at bay this year.
In Kentucky, we have sever-al spring germinating weedsthat are fairly easy to identify.Dandelion, henbit, chickweedand purple deadnettle are someof the most common earlyweeds. Later, as the soil tem-peratures warm up, crabgrassand goose grass show up, oftenwith a vengeance.
Identification is key to con-trol. There are three basictypes of weeds in our lawns;broadleaf weeds, grass-likeweeds, and sedges. Just like thename implies, broadleaf weedshave broad leaves while grass-like weeds have “blades” simi-lar to fescue. Sedges are identi-fied by a strong, protruding
midrib cre-ating a trian-gular blade.Knowing whatweed you haveand a littleabout its lifecycle will helptremendouslywith determin-ing the bestcontrol.
Typically with any lawnweed, control products areeither pre-emergent or post-emergent. Most broadleafweeds are best controlled post-emergently with a commonherbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenox-yacetic acid, or 2,4-D for short.2,4-D can be purchased in aconcentrated liquid formula-tion, or an easier to use gran-ular product in combinationwith a fertilizer.
When applying a granularpost-emergent herbicide, it isimportant to ensure the gran-ular particles adhere to the leafof the target weed. Applyingthe herbicide in the early morn-ing when the lawn is damp is
often the best time.Pre-emergent herbicides are
used to prevent the germina-tion of many weeds but weapply it in lawns to target crab-
grass and goose grass. Pre-emergents work by forming alayer just below the soil sur-face. As the weed germinates,it will come into contact with
the herbicide and growth willstop before the weed reachesthe surface. Pre-emergents areavailable in liquid formulationsbut most often homeownersutilize the granular formulationfor easier application.
Properly timed applicationsof pre-emergent herbicides aremost critical for best control. Ifthe target weed has alreadygerminated, it is too late tocontrol with a pre-emergent.Crab grass and goose grassgerminate as the soil temper-ature warms up and forsythiablooms are a good sign that thesoil is getting warm enough forcrabgrass to germinate. Thisspring watch for the forsythiablooms and apply your pre-emerge within the followingtwo weeks. Always follow thelabel with any control product.

Question: Should I goahead and fertilize my lawnnow, and put down weed kill-er?
Answer: At the first sign ofgreen grass in the spring, it istempting to dust off the fertil-izer spreader to apply nitro-gen to the lawn. If you appliednitrogen late last fall or win-ter, however, there’s no needto apply nitrogen this springbecause the lawn alreadyshould be starting to green up.
Applying a lot of nitrogennow will also make grass lessheat and drought tolerant andcause more problems withweeds and diseases. Weedscompete with grass for mois-ture and nutrients. However,if you did not fertilize thelawn last fall, applying somenitrogen this spring will bebeneficial because it willgreen the lawn and make it
look better for afew weeks.
One disad-vantage ofspring fertiliza-tion is that itcauses such fasttop growth youhave to mowtwice a week inApril and Mayin order to re-move no more
than one-third to one-half ofthe grass blade length eachtime. Cutting several inchesof top growth at one time cre-ates excess clippings thatsmother the grass below, ormust be composted or elsebagged and added to landfilldebris. Frequent mowing mayserve as a reminder that a fallnitrogen application is muchbetter for your lawn and foryou.
Although early spring usu-ally is not the best time toapply nitrogen, other than fornewly established springlawns, it is the right time andthe best time to apply a pre-emergence herbicide for per-sistent crabgrass problems.Since a pre-emergence herbi-cide is only effective beforethe crabgrass seeds germi-nate, be sure to apply it by
late March or early April,when crabgrass will germi-nate and begin competingwith your lawn grass. Afterthe first treatment, a secondapplication will be needed sixweeks later to extend crab-grass control for the entiresummer season.
For new lawns, even thoseseeded this spring, you canapply crabgrass control prod-
ucts containing Siduron orTupersan. Most other prod-ucts will damage the new lawnby killing the new grass seed-lings. Read the label carefullybefore buying any herbicide ifyou wish to use it on a newlawn, since many herbicideswill kill newly establishedturfgrass.
On established lawns, applya post-emergence herbicidenow, directing it to activelygrowing broadleaf weeds suchas dandelion, clover, plantain,chickweed, henbit, wild straw-berry and ground ivy. Broa-dleaf weeds must be activelygrowing for the herbicide towork. Don’t spray newly seed-ed lawns, and avoid sprayapplications when the wind isblowing.

One problem withcooking using a micro-wave oven is they do notheat evenly. They have“hot spots” that showwhere microwaves areconcentrated. Many mi-crowave ovens have turn-tables. to help cook thefood more evenly. If yourmicrowave does not haveone, a turntable can bepurchased to help pre-vent hot spots.
You can determinewhere the hot spots areby conducting a marsh-mallow test. To conductthis test:
» Use a microwavable,flat plate, or turn theturntable upside down soit won’t rotate, and placemarshmallows on it. Tip:Line the plate with parch-ment or wax paper tomake cleanup a breeze.
» Line the plate withminiature marshmallows,and place the plate in themicrowave oven.
» Set the timer for 1minute, but watch care-fully and stop microwav-ing if the marshmallowsbegin to burn.
» Watchthrough thewindow forthe marsh-mallows toheat andexpand.
Themarsh-mallowsthat expandfirst revealthe hot
spots. If your microwaveoven has hot spots, youknow that food will cookunevenly. Uneven cook-ing can result in under-cooked food that may beunsafe to eat.
There are things youcan do to ensure yourfood cooks evenly.
» Rotate or stir foodas it is cooking. Even ifyour microwave oven hasa turntable, it is helpful tostir and turn food.
» Arrange food evenlyin a covered dish and addliquid if needed.
» Large cuts of meatshould not be cooked onhigh power (100 percent).Cook large cuts of meaton medium power (50
percent) for longer peri-ods of time. This helpsthe heat reach the centerof the food without over-cooking the outer areas.
» Remove the bonefrom large pieces of meatbecause it can shieldmeat from thoroughcooking.
» Avoid cooking awhole, stuffed chicken orturkey in a microwaveoven because the stuffingmight not reach the tem-perature required to killharmful bacteria.
» Cover the dish witha lid or plastic wrap tohelp evenly distribute theheat. Allow enough spacebetween the food and thetop of the dish so thatplastic wrap does nottouch the food. Loosen orvent the lid or plasticwrap to allow steam toescape. The moist heatwill help destroy harmfulbacteria and achieve evenheating. Cooking bagsprovide even heating.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTo the Honorable Mayor andMembers of the Commission of theCity of Melbourne, KentuckyReport on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, and each major fund of the City of Melbourne, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.-Management's Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.-Auditor's ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.-OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the governmental activities of the City of Melbourne, Kentucky as of June 30, 2015 and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Other Matters-Required Supplementary InformationAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 4-6, the budgetary comparison schedule on pages 22-24, and the pension disclosure on page 25 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing StandardsIn accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 25, 2015 on our consideration of the City of Melbourne, Kentucky's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City of Melbourne, Kentucky's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
