INDEPENDENCE — When jumping out a window, fire- fighters don’t often get the chance to take their time and move slowly. On Friday, March 28, they were able to take as much time as needed, as Independence Fire District firefighters prac- ticed rescue techniques in one of the homes along the Banklick Creek floodplain, where Kenton County leaders have purchased residences to make way for a planned park. The former residence on the 1600 block of Independence Road is one of almost two dozen structures purchased with $2.2 million in federal, state and lo- cal funding to turn the flood-af- fected properties into a huge park connecting Doe Run Lake with Pioneer Park. Fire Lt. Pete Scheben said they don’t get a chance to prac- tice these skills very often, so they were happy for the oppor- tunity. “We did bailouts through the windows. We actually practiced on the roof a little bit. A little while later, we’re going to prac- tice pulling firefighters through the floor,” he said. Scheben said several fire- fighters are involved in the headfirst window bailout sce- nario. A rope and hook is se- cured on a ceiling joist, and an- other rope is tightly wrapped around the corner of the win- dow, so the firefighter headed out the window can safely rap- pel down, similar to a mountain- climbing technique. He said each firefighter car- ries a rope along with other safety equipment. Using another technique that only takes three firefighters to complete, Scheben said they tore out a window and enlarged the opening, making it easier for firefighters to escape im- pending flames. “For these practices, we’re allowed to cut holes in the roof, Independence Firefighter Rich Foster emerges from the window of a home on Independence Road, where members of the Independence Fire District practiced rescue techniques.

mentary onthe “mod-ern condi-tion of be-ing inun-dated withvariousdistrac-tions inlife.”

Written for an EasternEuropean perspective,the piece has a “kind ofRomanian feel” as well asan “American, jazzy feelfor it,” Sander said.

“I’m excited abouthearing the work inter-preted from the Ameri-can perspective,” he said.

The symphony regu-larly performed at NKUfor 17 years, Cassidy saidin the release. It was lastsummer Sander and Res-tesan asked theKSO to re-turn to the college for aregular season perfor-mance as well as to assistwith a first-ever show-

The pro-gram will

raise money for NKU’smusic department.

“It was the true part-nership aspect that at-tracted me in our discus-sions,” Cassidy said. “I al-ways felt that the KSOshould beworking togeth-er with the music depart-ment to create win-winopportunities for each in-stitution.”

He said the school’smusic department, muchlike the symphony, has

grown. “We’ve all grownup at the same time. It’sreally kind of nice to goback and do something Ithought we should havebeen doing all along.”

Restesan said, “The re-turn of the KSO to NKUafter an absence of fiveyears represents a natu-ral process in NKU’squestion for artistic andcommunity-based col-laborations,”

In January, Hansung Uni-versityPresidentShin-ilKangtraveled halfway around theworld formKorea to visitwithNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity President GeoffreyMearns and sign a Dual De-

gree Agree-ment that wasthe first of itskind for eitherinstitution.

The agree-ment will allowKorean stu-dents majoringin managementor marketing to

start theircourseworkat theirhome institution in Seoul andcomplete it at NKU, at whichtime they will earn degreesfrom both universities. It ex-pands an already strong part-nership between the twoschools and could serve as ablueprint for similar agree-ments.

“This partnership is an im-portant one,” said Mearns.“Dual-degree agreementssuchas this oneexpand theop-portunities for our students tostudy in foreign countries,and these agreements bringinternational students to ourcampus, thereby enrichingthe educational experiencefor all of our students.”

Kang was accompanied byJae-WhakRoh, dean of theOf-fice of Planning and ExternalAffairs at Hansung. Togetherthey toured the NKU campusand met with non-degree-seeking Hansung Universitystudents currently studyingat Northern on an existing ex-change program.

“The very fact that thepresident ofHansungUniver-sity and the dean of externalaffairs traveled all this way tosign this agreement speaksvolumesabout the importanceof it,” saidFrançoisLeRoy, ex-ecutive director of the NKUInternational Education Cen-ter. “This is not common. Thatis, usually when agreementsare signed, it doesn’t involveone president traveling half-way around the world to signit. We’ve grown to know eachother to a level – some of usare on a first-name basis now.It is a friendship as well be-tween the two schools.”

Through the Dual Degreeprogram, NKU is expected toenroll about fiveHansung stu-dents per year and cannot ex-ceed 10. This is in addition tonon-degree-seeking Hansungstudents, of which there arecurrently 17. Students in thenew program must completeat least 50 hours at Hansungbefore coming to NKU.

He ended the yearwith a 23.7 points pergame average in KCAAplay, along with five re-bounds, 4.5 steals andseven assists. He earnedahost of regular andpostseasonawards, includingall-state, all-star, all-re-gion and all-KCAA firstteam.

PARK HILLS — The car-toon depictions at NotreDame Academy of pandabears engaging in varioussporting activities havehad a new sibling the pasttwo years.

A different group ofNDA athletes is attempt-ing to put the year 2014 ina banner on the gymnasi-umwall.

The Pandas bass-fish-ing team will compete inthe Region 2 champion-ships Saturday, April 5, atHerrington Lake nearDanville. Bass fishing isin its second year as an of-ficial sanctioned sport bytheKentuckyHighSchoolAthletic Association.

The team has 28 mem-bers this year, up from sixlast year when Pete Sal-kowski had the idea tostart a program. Salkwos-ki, an avid fisher himself,approached the NDA ad-ministrationwith the idea.The Pandas competed inone tournament in 2013,catchingonefish total,butdid not enter the postsea-son because the statemeet conflicted withprom.

“The interest just blewup this year,” Salkowskisaid. “I don’t think anyonewas prepared for thatkind of interest. I had todraftsomeofthedads intobecoming assistantcoaches. It’s a big under-taking for everyone.

“I love fishing. Mywhole family is into fish-ing. We’ve fished ourwhole life. I grew up withit. Iwantedtofindawaytoshare a love of the sportwith the girls at NotreDame.”

NDA is the only North-ern Kentucky school reg-istered with the KHSAA.The Pandas will aim toqualify for the state tour-nament April 25-26 atKentucky Lake in thesouthwestern part of the

state. Kentucky Lake of-ten hosts professionalbass-fishing tourna-ments.

High school meets areconducted likenormalprotournaments seen onESPN, with the goal toweigh in fivebass, and thestandings are based on to-tal weight. All bass arekept alive and carefullyreleased back to the lakeafter the weigh-in, whichoccurs on a stage in frontof the patrons attending.

“Our goals are mostlyto have fun and learn thesport of fishing,” Salkow-ski said. “The competitionis great, but I just wantthemtohaveagood time.”

Salkowski and his offi-cial assistants had to takeonline classes and be cer-tified by the KHSAA likecoaches in other sports. Ina typical tournament, twostudentsgoout inoneboatto fish. The boat has acoach on board and anadult volunteer driving.

“The girls do all thefishing and tie the lures,”Salkowski said. “The boatpilot and assistant coachcan suggest things andtalk to them,but theyhaveto do all the work. Every-one’s a volunteer. Thepar-ent involvement is justun-believable. They are real-ly behind this.Most of ourbudget goes to the boat pi-lots to pay for their gas.”

Northern Kentuckydoesn’t have a lake big

enough for a tournament,but practices can be heldin many bodies of water,as the Pandas work ontheir techniques. Keys togood fishing includeprop-er techniques of castingthe line into thewater, andknowing what types ofrods, reels and artificiallures to use at what times(live bait is not allowed incompetition).

“It’s a skill like any oth-er sport,” Salkowski said.“It’s all about skill andtechnique, it’s no differ-ent than serving a volley-ball orhitting free throws.It’s a newexperience for alot of them.They’re learn-ing the techniques and theterminology. We havesome girls who reallyknowhowtofish.Wehadagirl catch theonly fish shehas in her life. It was neatfor her to experience that.Something like that canhook you for life.”

Bass fishing on theopen water can also haveotherbenefits for a social-ly active teenager.

“A rule in tournamentsis you have to turn yourphoneoff,” the coach said.“You can’t be out there onthe phone and it’s good toget them unplugged.They’re on the phone somuch, it’s good to get outin the boat with no con-tact.”

When I tell people I’m achildren’s librarian at the Ken-ton County Public Library whospecializes in early childhoodwork they usually ask me if Iteach babies to read.

That is not what we do at thelibrary. We teach children andtheir parents how to developearly literacy skills. Earlyliteracy is what children knowabout reading and writingbefore they can read or write.When children have strongearly literacy skills they willbe ready to learn to read.

To read, the whole brainmust be used and it takes a lotof practice to learn. Luckily, itis easy and fun to developearly literacy skills in youngchildren. Everyday activitieslike talking, singing, playingand of course, reading, all

work togetherto help yourchild be readyto learn to readwhen the timecomes. Hereare a few waysto help thechildren inyour life be-come readers.

» Talk withthem. Not justnear them.

Make eye contact and givethem time to respond. Whenyour baby or toddler makesany noise in response reactpositively.

» Actively play with yourchildren. There is no gadgetbetter than an engaged adult.Peek-a-boo, pretend play,blocks, trucks, and (my favor-

ite) enjoying the outdoors allhelp your child develop a widevariety of early literacy skills.

» Share music with yourchildren. Music can build fam-ily bonds while developingseveral key early literacyskills. Sing, listen to musictogether, and don’t forget todance!

» Read every day. If yourchild can’t or won’t sit still fora book don’t worry. They canlisten while they are moving.My son learned to walk anddidn’t sit down for a book untila year later and he had growninto a strong reader. You alsodon’t have to read all at once.Little moments count too –waiting in the grocery line,during bath or meal times andwaiting rooms are perfectplaces to use books. Don’t for-

get, there is always story time!» Show your children our

world. Point out the colors,shapes, letters and patternsthat surround us. Pretty soonthey will be pointing it all outto you!

It’s also important that chil-dren have positive early expe-riences with books. The libraryis hosting the annual EarlyChildhood Literacy Fair onSaturday, April 5, from10:30a.m.-1:30 p.m. at our CovingtonBranch. This is a great oppor-tunity to engage your childrenin books through songs, playand stories. The fair is fundedby the Kenton County Commu-nity Early Childhood Council.

At the fair you will find afamily photo booth so you canremember the day, entertain-ment from Cincinnati Circus,

great information for a varietyof agencies and companies andat 1 p.m., a family concert withZakMorgan.

The Contemporary ArtsCenter and the Cincinnati Mu-seum Center will also be onhand providing activities. Thefirst 300 children will receive afree book and there are plentyof other trinkets for childrento collect while parents arepicking up information. Chil-dren under 36 months cancomplete a developmentalscreen with their parents forspecial prizes.

Amy Schardein is the early child-hood literacy librarian for the Ken-ton County Public Library. For in-formation, call 859-962-4060 or go towww.kentonlibrary.org/children.

Horseshoe Cincinnati isproud to participate in EarthHour once again by turning offour 80-foot marquee sign, ourmain entrance chandelier andnon-essential exterior lighting– according to Kevin Kline,Horseshoe Cincinnati generalmanager, in the CincinnatiEnquirer, Saturday, March 29.From 8:30 to 9:30 P.M. on Sat-urday, April 5, Horseshoe’sexterior goes dark, and FifthThird bank will shut off light-ing in 20 buildings in sevenoffices.

Back in the day, starting in1970, some of us observedEarth Day, according to EarthDay Network, www.earth-day.org/earth-day- history-movement:

At the time, Americanswere slurping leaded gasthrough massive V8 sedans.Industry belched out smokeand sludge with little fear oflegal consequences or badpress. Air pollution was com-monly accepted as the smell ofprosperity. “Environment” wasa word that appeared moreoften in spelling bees than onthe evening news.

Although mainstreamAmerica remained oblivious to

environmentalconcerns, thestage had beenset for changeby the publica-tion of RachelCarson’sNewYork Timesbestseller“SilentSpring” in1962. The bookrepresented awatershed

moment for the modern envi-ronmental movement, sellingmore than 500,000 copies in 24countries.

The idea came to Earth Dayfounder Gaylord Nelson, thena U.S. Senator fromWisconsin,after witnessing the ravages ofthe 1969 massive oil spill inSanta Barbara, Calif. Inspiredby the student anti-war move-ment, he realized that if hecould infuse that energy withan emerging public conscious-ness about air and water pollu-tion, it would force environ-mental protection onto thenational political agenda.

Earth Hour is good as well.It signals the inclusion of big-watt-user participation like thecasino and the banks. Maybe

some day, the Colonial Sussexbuilding in Crestview Hills,whose lights glare above wood-ed ridges all night, every night,will join in. Could, possibly, ourregion’s many night-lit churchfacades observe Earth Hour?

Earth Day often occurswhile I am celebrating Lent.Most mornings, I light a candleand sit drinking a mug of cof-fee, owing Duke Energy forthe pleasure. Somemornings Idon’t flick on the CFC lightbulb to see the day’s psalmsand readings, but take the bookover and stand in the east win-dow’s light. The practice prac-tically has no more objectivevalue than my childhood fastsfrom candy. Both fasts bite alittle. I’d rather remain sittingon the love seat than stand andshare desk-space with thesnoozing cats. But psycholog-ically, it shifts awareness togratitude and wiser use of allpossibilities of light, and it, likeour household’s membership inSierra Club and Nature Conser-vancy, is offered as a littleparticipation.

Need a friend? Get a dog!That’s good advice for

seniors, as many studies haveshown that pets can help theelderly live longer, healthierlives. Walking a dog keeps asenior active, petting a cat ordog lowers blood pressure,having a pet companion re-

duces stressand loneli-ness.

But whathappenswhen a sen-ior has trou-ble takingcare of thatfour-footedbest friend?Lack of mon-ey and trans-portationmay keep the

pet from getting proper med-ical care. A senior may not beable to afford pet food – andmay be forced to share his orher limited “people food”with a pet.

Even worse, what happenswhen a senior passes away,leaving behind a beloved cator dog?

Dan Evans, director of theKenton County Animal Shel-ter, is very aware of the prob-lem of seniors who lack themeans to properly care fortheir pets. The shelter reg-ularly gives dry pet food toSenior Services of NorthernKentucky’s AniMeals Pro-gram. AniMeals providesfree pet food to low-incomeseniors as part of the SSNKSeniors-Only Food Pantry.SSNK case aides also bringpet food to some of theirhome-bound clients.

But finding a new homefor a pet when the elderlyowner can no longer care forit is more difficult. Too manytimes, the pet will end up inan animal shelter. In North-ern Kentucky, the countyanimal shelters must disposeof unwanted animals, al-though there are some no-killshelters and pet rescue or-ganizations in southern Ohio,such as PAWS Adoption Cen-ter in Middletown.

SSNK Social Service caseaide Dan Baker recentlyfaced this dilemma with aclient whose sole companionis a 95-pound sheepdog mixnamed Skyler. Bob is 74,

nearly deaf and confined to awheelchair. He can’t leave hishouse in Erlanger and re-quires meals and housekeep-ing services. Like many iso-lated seniors, Bob has nofamily support and limitedcontact with neighbors.

Bob recently had to spenda week in the hospital, andDan found a kennel to carefor Skyler. But Bob facesmore medical and financialissues, and may need to entera nursing home.

What will happen to Skyl-er?

Fortunately, Dan Evanssaid the Kenton County shel-ter doesn’t see many petsbeing abandoned by elderlyowners. “Families seem tofeel an obligation to care forgrandma’s cat or dog aftershe passes away,” he said.

SSNK’s Dan Baker isworking to find a new homefor Skyler but sadly the op-tions are very limited for a5-year-old, nearly 100-poundmutt. Dan’s also worriedabout how Bob will deal withthe loss of Skyler.

I’ve already gonethrough one batch of myhomemade yogurt andhave another batch “cul-tivating” on my counter.

We eat yogurt year‘round, but especiallyduring Lent, when it tops

my vege-tarianlentils andrice. Theyogurtrecipe istoo long toincludehere, butyou’ll findit, withstep-by-step pho-

tos, at Abouteating.com.The recipe I’m sharingtoday may be an unusualrecipe to some of you.Called mujadarah, it’s adish we grew up withthat evokes fond memo-ries of mymomwrap-ping her jar of home-made yogurt in towels tokeep it warm enough toinoculate.

Mujadarah/Lentilswith rice and cumin

Go to taste on sea-sonings. Some people liketo stir in some of thecooked onions into thelentils and rice.

3 very large yellow onions1⁄3 cup olive oil1 cup whole brown lentils11⁄2 cups long grain rice5 cups water1 to 2 teaspoons cuminSalt and pepper to tastePlain yogurt or tzatziki(cucumber and yogurtsalad)

Chopped greens (optional)Sprinkle of cayenne pepper(optional)

Slice onions and cook,covered, over mediumheat, in oil until cara-melized/dark brown.You’ll start out with a lotbut they will cook downconsiderably. What hap-pens is the onions’ natu-ral sugars come to thesurface and create acaramelization, makingthem taste sweet.

Combine lentils, 1teaspoon cumin, salt andwater in pan. Cover,bring to boil and cookover medium heat, cov-ered, until lentils are halfcooked, about 10 minutes.Add rice and simmer,covered, until rice iscooked, about 20 min-utes. Water should beabsorbed but, if not,drain off. Adjust sea-sonings. To serve, putonions over mujadarahand garnish with yogurtand greens.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If using brown rice,check package directionsfor liquid and time need-ed.

Lentils help lowercholesterol, stabilizeblood sugar and containprotein and B vitamins.

Crockpot breakfastegg and sausagecasserole

No dry mustard?Leave it out. Go lightlywhen you sprinkle saltand pepper on. Turn thison before bed and it willbe ready to eat Eastermorning. I like to thawthe hash browns a bit, butthe Eastern Hills readerwho shared the original

recipe said he “just poursthem straight from thebag.” Here’s my adapta-tion.

2 pounds frozen shreddedhash browns

1pound sausage, cookedand crumbled

1bunch green onions, finelysliced, both white andgreen parts

1 pound shredded cheese12 eggs1⁄3 cupmilk1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustardSalt and pepper

Spray 6-quart slowcooker/crockpot. Layer 1⁄3potatoes on bottom,sprinkle with salt and

pepper and top with 1⁄3sausage, sprinkle withsalt and pepper, add 1⁄3onions and cheese, sprin-kle with salt and pepper.Repeat layers two moretimes, ending withcheese. Whisk eggs, milk,garlic powder and mus-tard. Cook on low 6-8hours or high 4-5.

From readers’kitchens

Bridgetown FinerMeats turkey salad. Ienjoy chatting with Rich-ard Hoehn and BrianBrogran about their fam-ous turkey salad. Foryears, readers haveasked me for a clone.

And for years, I get thesame answer: a chuckled“no.” I respect that thisrecipe is proprietary buta while back, a readerwanted it to send to herdaughter in the Navy,hoping the chef therecould recreate what washer favorite turkey saladfrom home. Bridgetownsoftened up and gave meingredients, but noamounts. They sell awhopping 300 pounds ofit a week and make itseveral times so it’s al-ways at the peak offreshness. I sent theinformation to EmbethB., who then sent it to herdaughter. The reply I got

was this: “With your help,a recipe for a ‘close sec-ond’ was created and ourdaughter in the Navysays to her ‘it tastes likesomething from home’!”Of course it’s not the realdeal, but close enough forher daughter to enjoy ataste of the West Side along way from home.

Is It the Fountain of Youth for Aging Minds?Pharmacist of the Year Makes Memory Discovery of a Lifetime‘America’s Pharmacist,’ Dr. Gene Steiner, finds what he and his patients have been looking for – a real memory pill!

PAID ADVERTISEMENT

PHOENIX,ARIZONA —If Pharmacist of theYear, Dr. Gene Steiner, had a nickel for every time someone

leaned over the counter and whispered, “Do you have anything that canimprove my memory,” he would be a rich man today.

It’s a question he’s heard countless times in his 45-year career. He has seenfamilies torn apart by the anguish of memory loss and mentaldecline, a silent condition that threatens the independent lifestylethat seniors hold so dearly.

In his years-long search for a drug or nutrient that could slowmental decline, he finally found the answer, a natural, drug-freecompound that helps aging brains ‘think and react,’ younger.

Tired BrainsSnap Awake!

“It helps tired,forgetful brains to‘snap awake,” says Dr.Steiner.Before Dr. Steinerrecommended it tocustomers, he tried itfirst. “Within a fewdays, I can tell youwithout reservationthat my memorybecame crystal clear!”“Speaking for phar-macists everywhere,we finally have some-thing that we can rec-ommend that is safeand effective.And youdon’t need a prescrip-tion either!”

Feeding an Older BrainThe formula helps oxygenate listless brain cells to revitalize

and protect them from free radicals caused by stress and toxins.It also helps restore depleted neurotransmitter levels,

while feeding the aging mind with brain-specific nutrients andprotective antioxidants.

“I had such marvelous results with this memory pill that I notonly started recommending it to my customers, I even shared itwith other physicians!”

Pharmacy Best-Seller“It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and

customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.”Users like Selwyn Howell* agree. He credits the memory compound with

bolstering his confidence.“It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more

confident every day.”Carey S.* reports, “I feel so much more focused and with the new

energy I’m now ready to tackle the things I’ve been putting off for years!”Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New York experienced a night-and-day

difference in her mind and memory. At the age of 54, her memory wasdeclining at an “alarming rate.”“I was about to consult a neurologist when I read a newspaper article

about it.”“It took about a month for the memory benefit to kick in. Six months later,even my husband was impressed with my improved memory.And I am veryhappy with my renewed mental clarity and focus!”

“I highly recommend it,” says Dr. Steiner. “This drug-free compound isthe perfect supplement for increasing one’s brain power. If it worked forme, it can work for you!”

For years, pharmacists told disappointed patients that memory losswas inevitable.A new, drug-free cognitive formula may help improvemind, mood, and memory in as little as 30 days.

Pharmacist of the Year,Dr. Gene Steiner, PharmD,was so impressed with hisnewfound memory powersthat he recommended thepatented, prescription-freememory formula to hispharmacy patients withgreat success.

Jesus obliges, andfor a moment, the su-pernatural takes overand Peter, eyes fullyfocused on his Savior,steps out onto the water.We all know what hap-pened when Peter tookhis eyes off Jesus; hebegan to sink.

Bible lesson for to-day: keep your eyes onJesus and you will stayafloat.

Butwait,whatabout theotherslessonssprin-kledthrough-out thisgreatbiblestory?What

about the storm. Thesemen were great fisher-man; experienced in thewater; knowledgeableabout the weather. Theywould know better thanto venture out if a stormwas brewing. (Not tomention, small stormsdon’t bother trained

fishermen, so this musthave been a whopper.)

The point is – thedisciples didn’t realize astorm was coming. Yet,when that storm arrivedout in the middle of no-where, who else ap-peared out of nowhere?Jesus. And He is in themiddle of your stormtoo, but take care to lookfor Him, because eventhe disciples who hadseen Him face to face, atfirst thought He was aghost (Matthew 14:26.)
