COLD SPRING — The doctorwas in at the Campbell CountyPublic Library as about15 peo-ple gathered for a conventionto talk about favorite sciencefiction shows, books, comics,games and Japanese anime.

Highland Heights residentHoward Stine, 21, said the Jan.

3 weather outside kept manyof the convention participantsout of costume, but his “Dr.Who” trench coat with suit, tieand scarf was a perfect fit forthe day.

“I just love science fictionin general, you know ‘StarTrek,’ ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Dr.Who,’” Stine said.

He came dressed as DavidTennant, the 10th actor to play

the time-traveling characterDr. Who from the BBC televi-sion series of the same name.

The library convention wasa way to find out about othersimilar gatherings and to dis-cuss topics from board gamesto comics, he said. There are atleast 12 conventions or “cons”happening throughout the

ALEXANDRIA — Amber Jag-gers gave her dad a surprise forChristmas – the first publishedcopies of his book.

“It was unreal. Totally unex-pected,” said Steve Jaggers. “Iwas completely caught offguard. I was stunned at every-thing she had done.”

Steve had written a murdermystery, “In thePresenceofMyEnemies,” in the late 1990s, andAmber dug up the floppy diskcontaining the novel about twoyears ago.

“It was saved to MicrosoftWorks, and it was like one longsentence with no punctuation,”she said. “I basically had to re-type the whole thing.”

Steve, who has a history de-gree from Northern KentuckyUniversity and has worked as aU.S. Post Office letter carrier,said he wrote the story by hand,and his wife, Monica, typed itinto the computer.

Avoraciousreaderwhoownsab out 4,000 books, Steve hadgotten bored with a new read,and thought he’d take a shot atwriting something better.

He submitted his novel to lit-erary agents in New York, buthe was rejected.

“Igot letters tellingme itwaswell-written and a good story,but I was a nobody. They said toget something published andthencall themback,”Stevesaid.“I had two small kids and wasworking a lot of hours, I justdidn’t have time to work on it

any more.”Set in the Jaggers’ hometown

of Alexandria, the story fea-tures disgraced attorney BradSommers as he tries to help awoman from his past and clearhis own name. The mysterytakes Sommers to local places,such as Alexandria’s formerMain Street Baptist Church,which now serves as the citybuilding, to the revolving res-taurant in Covington, and otherlocations in the Greater Cincin-nati area.

“It’s such a good story. Theentire time you’re reading it,you don’t want to put it down,”saidAmber. “There are somanytwists and turns. I had no ideawhere it was going to end up,and the ending gets you everytime. It’s sad, but good.”

The 152 acres of theNorthern Kentucky Miti-gation Bank along theLicking River is closed –unless permission is giv-en.

But an open invitationto hike the land south ofAlexandria is extendedduring a hiking tour at 9a.m. Saturday, Jan. 11.

Management of thelandhasbeenoverseenbythe nonprofit CampbellConservancy sinCE 2011.It is maintained for a pub-lic purpose.

“It’s a good project forthe conservancy to be in-volved with because itdoes allow us to expandthe role and host thesepublic hikes and line upsome scientific studies,”said Mark McGinnis ofFort Thomas, a directorfor the conservancy’sboard.

The mitigation bankwas authorized in June2009 by the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers to sell35.4 one-acre credits tooffset damage to areastreams and wetlands bydevelopment under thefederal Clean Water Act

of 1972, according to thewebsite http://nkmbcredits.com/index.html. Thewebsite lists the cost forcredits at $34,000 peracre.

There are at least 32different species of birdsusing the wetlands, anddeer, box turtles andsnakes have been seen,McGinnis said.

“At one time there wasa hawk that patrols thearea. We do have a lot ofturkey, and we’ve evenseen some wildflowersthat I’veneverseen in thisarea before,” he said.

McGinnis said the

propertywasonceusedasfarmland, and the wet-lands were cleared. Since2009 there have beenmore than 2,000 treesplanted and some earthenberms installed to bringthe wetlands back.

“The first year I wasout there the vegetationwasn’t that high, and nowthe pools are really fulland some of thewildlife isstarting to come backthere,” he said.

Conservancy boardmembers inspect theproperty at least three orfour times a year.

“It’s a really unique

property, it’s really beau-tiful out there and everyseason is like a new expe-rience,” he said.

Inspecting the proper-ty, and making sure peo-ple do not ride all terrainvehicles on the propertyor damage the land, is theconservancy’s job,McGinnis said.

“In this case, with themitigation bank, it’s stillprivate property, the con-servation easement pro-tects particularly thewet-land area,” McGinnissaid.

Jim Wenstrup, a part-ner in Wolfe Road LLC,owners of the property,said developers or otherswithin the area served bythe mitigation bank canbuy credits for damagingstreams or wetlands. Theservice area includesmost of Kenton County,theWestern half ofCamp-bell County and portionsof 14 other KentuckycountiesalongtheLickingRiver.

Wenstrupsaid thecom-pany he works for, theScheben Group in Flor-ence, obtained theproper-ty when the company wasfacing issues and neededto buy some credits.

Amber made a fewchanges, like updatingthe floppy disk used inthe story to a flash drive,and she submitted theedited sheets to Steve sohe could approve thechanges.

“The last thing heknew, I was goingthrough it for typos,” shesaid.

Instead, Amber hadsubmitted the story to aself-publishing websiteand got three copiesmade, one for her dad,and one for each of hertwo uncles. She also

made the book availablefor e-readers. Then, shecreated a website to sellthe book, www.JaggersPublishing.com, and aFacebook page, JaggersPublishing, for promo-tion.

She’s not done.A video production

major, Amber hopes tomake the book into amovie.

Steve’s not done ei-ther.

“Since Amber did allthis work, I thought Ishould do somethingelse,” he said. “I’ve writ-ten two chapters of an-other book.”

shelter information.“There is no law

against puppy millsstacking up the animalsin cages and not lettingthem out much,” saidWitt’smother Pam,who

is also the troop leader.Many dogs from

puppy mills are aban-doned and end up in no-kill shelters, so promot-ing the shelters helpsthe animals, Pam said.

“The shelters, theywill love them and givethem a good home andcare for themuntil theycan find what we call aforever home,” shesaid.

Pam said her daugh-ter cares for the familyguineau pig, rabbit anddog. Their Yorkshireterrier is not a puppymill breeder, she said.

year in Northern Ken-tucky, he said.

“Fandom is takingover everywhere,” Stinesaid.

Myra Justus, 26, of Al-exandria, said many peo-ple skipped costumes be-cause of cold weather,and like others she cameto talk about comics andcostume play – known ascosplay.

Justus said she isspendsherfree timehelp-ing other people care forandget into costumes as ahandler. Talking aboutfantasy, and setting upround tablediscussions atconventions is Justus’ fa-vorite way to be involved.She attends conventionswith no special wardrobe.

“I’mnotacostumeper-

son,” Justus said.Cincy Comic Expo (the

next one is Sept.19-21),and the Jan. 24-26 animeOhoyacon in Columbusare some of Justus’ favor-ite gatherings. She alsoattends horror conven-tions and Steampunk fu-turistic Victorian cos-tume conventions.

Formany of these con-ventions, one of the high-lights is a formal balldance in costume, shesaid.

“Sometimes at Steam-punk conventions at theballs it canbeverybeauti-ful, but at horror cons, notso much,” Justus said.

Shane Winslow, a 2013graduate of NorthernKentucky Universitywith a bachelor’s degreein history, said he came tothe libraryconventionbe-cause he is trying to learnmore about Japaneseanime cartoons and

books.According to

merriam-webster.com,anime is a style of anima-tion that was created inJapan and uses colorfulimages, strong charac-ters and stories that havea lot of action.

“I love anime that com-bines history and culturetogether,” Winslow said.

Winslow, of Cincin-nati’s West End neighbor-hood, said when he was achild he didn’t realize thePokeman and DragonBall Z games he playedwereJapaneseanimecar-toons. People are morewilling to openly discussand display their interestin science fiction and fan-tasy subjects, so the num-ber of conventions keepsgrowing, he said.

“I’m a nerd at heart,”Winslow said. “I grew upplaying ‘Magic:TheGath-ering.’”

ALEXANDRIA — Basketballcoaches like to point out thesmallest mistakes to their play-ers, even after a convincingwin.

Mike Code said therewouldn’t be much to talk aboutafter his Bishop Brossart HighSchool boys basketball teambeat rival Campbell County 60-41 Jan. 3 in the annual Alexan-dria rivalry battle at CampbellCounty Middle School. TheMustangs are building momen-tum as they start play in the All“A” 10th Region TournamentSaturday, Jan. 11.

“That’s what I just told theguys: Enjoy this one this week-end and Monday it’s right backto work,” said Code, the headcoach. “We have another biggoal on the horizon. We’re hap-py with our team. The seniorleadership has been wonderfulall year.”

Brossart improved to 13-1overall and 3-0 in seeding playin the 37thDistrict, with a gameagainst Scott Feb. 14. Campbellis 7-3, 1-1 and has games at Sil-ver Grove Jan. 21 and at homeagainst Scott Jan. 31. The teamsplayed in front of the usual ca-pacity crowdatCampbellCoun-ty Middle School.

“This is the best environ-mentweplay in all year,” seniorpost playerAlexTrentmansaid.“Defense was key for us; weturned(them)overa lotandthathelped a lot.”

After a ragged first quarterin which both teams struggledshooting, junior guard SpencerHackworth gave Brossart thelead for good in the firstminuteof the second period with abucket. He had a team-high 18

points.“The keywas not getting rat-

tled,” Hackworth said. “Theygot a little rattled and we justplayed our game. My team-mates found me when I wasopen. It felt good. It’s a greatfeeling when the crowd goeswild.”

The Mustangs led 22-19 athalftime, then advanced thelead to seven in the third period(32-25) with five points fromRieger and a trey from Hack-worth.

To that point, Code had beenpleased enough with his team’splay not to use a single timeout,though he was tempted to useone during a nervous first quar-ter for both teams.Hecalledhisfirst one during live action asthe Mustangs tried to save theball inbounds, asCodewassens-ing thathisplayerswereseizingmomentum and that possessionwas crucial.

She didn’t start out as aDivision I player, but Alli-son Ponzer ended her ca-reer with Division I suc-cess.

The Northern Ken-tucky University seniorrecently completed hersoccer career for theNorse. She was a regularstarter and key player forthe team the past two sea-sons, when the Norsetransitioned to NCAA Di-vision I.

This past fall, she hadfour goals and three as-sists to rank second on theteam in scoring. She start-ed all 18 games as NKUhad a 6-10-2 record.

Ponzer had the game’slone goal in a 1-0 win over

Tennessee Tech, NKU’sfirst win of the season.

“Just put it in the goal,that’s what I was think-ing,” Ponzer said. “I didn’tscore last year, so it feltgood to get one in, and wegot our first win.”

She scored against Ca-nisius in a 6-1 win Sept. 8and also posted the firstgoal in NKU’s 6-1 rout ofconference foe USC Up-state, which was seniorday for the team.

“Allison has workedreally hard over the yearsto finish those types of op-portunities,” NKU headcoach Bob Sheehan said.“She had a great firsttouch, a great secondtouch, found the keeper,found the spot that wasopen and put a beautifulshot into the corner, so it

was a really great way tostart the game.”

Ponzer’s third goal ofthe year came in a 2-1 lossto Oakland Sept. 13.

Ponzer ended her ca-reer with 15 NKU goals.As a junior, she started 16games and played a keyrole in NKU’s introduc-tion to Division I. She as-sisted on both goals inNKU’s 2-0 victory overCanisius, its first-ever DIwin.

In her sophomore year,she was second team all-region after starting 20games for the Norse intheir final year in Divi-sion II. Shewas first teamall-conference in theGreat Lakes Valley Con-ference after notching 10goals and eight assists.She had three goals in a

win at St. Joseph’s, a pairof two-goal games andthree game-winninggoals.

When Austin Junietdownshifted gears in hiscollege soccer career,moving from NCAA Divi-sion I Northern KentuckyUniversity to NCAADivi-sion IIIThomasMoreCol-lege, he wanted his newteammates to keep cruis-ing down the road at thesame speed as his formerones.

That they did, and Ju-niet’s leadership helpedthe Saints play in a highgear as they reached theNCAA Tournament forthe fifth straight season.TMCwent15-3-2, winningthe Presidents’ AthleticConference champion-ship and reaching theNCAA Tournament,where theSaints lost 2-1toWheaton in the firstround. After a 3-2 start tothe year record-wise,TMC went on a 14-matchunbeaten streak (12-0-2)before being eliminated.

“(The keywas) howev-eryone stepped up as awhole towards the end oftheyear,” Juniet said. “Wehad a rough start to theyear but as the year wenton everything star\rted toclick. There wasn’t oneleader, but all the under-classmen all worked to-gether.”

Juniet was the leadingscorer with seven goalsand four assists. He wonseveralhonors,mostnota-bly second team All-American by the NationalSoccer Coaches Associa-tion ofAmerica. Itwas hisfirst season in CrestviewHills after coming overfrom Highland HeightsfollowingNKU’s first sea-son in Division I.

“Iknewcoming inIhadto prove myself,” he said.“Nomatter where you go,nothing is handed to you. Ifought for every minute Iplayed. To be named anAll-American was a sur-prise. Just being namedfirst teamall-regionwas abig surprise and I didn’texpect any of those be-cause I didn’t feel like Ihad my best season. Itgivesmemoremotivationfor next year.”

Juniet had one of thebest careers of anyplayerat Newport CentralCatholic. He graduatedwith the school record forcareer points (175), goals(74), single-season assists(22) and single-seasongoals (29). He was firstteam all-state his juniorand senior seasons andthird team all-region as afreshman, and was NCC’soffensive player of theyear his final three sea-sons. Juniet led the Thor-

oughbreds to district andregional championshipsduring his senior seasonof 2011. After his fresh-man season at NKU, hecame to Thomas More,where he majors in ac-counting. He brought tothe Saints the experienceof seeing Division I com-petition in the 2012 sea-son. Juniet used thosegames as motivation forhis new teammates.

“Moving from NKU toTMC was a big jump,” hesaid. “I wanted to act likeThomas More was a bigDivision I school. I wasdemanding themost frommyteammates.Nomatterhow small we are, we’regoing to play like a Divi-sion I school andwehad toplay the same speed.”

Juniet, anathleticplay-maker at NewCath, hasenjoyed the speed of thecollege game,which is en-hanced by the artificialturf fields that heplays onmost of the time now.Thomas More and NKUboth have turf fields ontheir soccer pitches, andNewCath’s home field inSilver Grove didn’t.

Juniet also enjoys theopportunity to play with afew teammates he wentagainst in high school.ThomasMore has severalCincinnati and NorthernKentuckyalumni,andfor-

mer rivals of Juniet’s.“I played against Alex

DeanfromHighlands,”hesaid. “He’s agreatdefend-erandInevercouldgetbyhim. And I still can’t getby him when we scrim-mage in practice. He isdefinitely one of the bestdefenders in the region, ifnot the country.”

Until next fall, Junietwill try to get faster andstronger while studyingand coaching club soccerteams. He expects to stepup his leadership role as ajunior in 2014.

“Each year I will try tohave a bigger role,” hesaid. “I expect success ineverything I do.”

Austin Juniet transferred from Northern KentuckyUniversity to Thomas More College in fall 2013, where hecontinued his pursuit of college soccer. During his firstseason with the Saints, Austin was a key player in helpingthe team win the PAC Conference and the PACTournament.THANKS TO THOMAS MORE COLLEGE

Temperatures are expectedto plummet the next few days,so don’t forget about the fam-ily pets, and take measures toguard their well-being.

Colder weather can stresspets and livestock, so pet own-ers and farmers need to en-sure sources of water, foodand warmth for their animals.

A source of fresh water ismost important. Snow or iceisn’t a water source. Animalscan’t drink frozen water, andrunoff lowers body temper-atures. Fresh water needs tobe put out at regular intervals.

Animals need more food incold weather. More food helpsmaintain body heat and en-hances their resistance tocold.

Some dogs and cats arekept outside. Such animals

need shelter, such as cat anddog houses. If indoor animalsmust go outside, owners needto be mindful of the time theyspend outdoors. Outdoor dogsneed to be provided some sortof shelter. Dogs that stay out-doors need extra attention inthe winter:

» Provide a dog house withenough room for the animal toturn around. Ensure the househas no drafts. Straw or cedarchips will keep the house dry.If using towels or blankets,keep them dry and clean themfrequently.

» The dog must have ac-cess to fresh clean unfrozenwater at all times.

»Dogs can require twice asmuch food in cold weather.

» Puppies, old dogs, toybreeds, sick dogs and short-

hairs shouldnot be leftoutside in coldweather.

If the fam-ily cat livesoutdoors, goesout at night:

» A houseor box withstraw or cedarbedding canbenefit a cat.As with dogs,

change the bedding frequent-ly.

» Removing debris fromfur helps cats maintain theirinternal temperatures. Keepthe paws clear of salt, whichcan cause stomach upset incats.

» Outdoor cats need fresh,clean unfrozen water. Outdoor

feeding may attract other cats– wildlife – in the neighbor-hood, so be certain the in-tended feline is gettingenough food.

Keeping the livestock com-fortable

Horses cannot be kept in abarn or stable all winter:

» Ensure that the horse’stime in the barn or stable ispleasant. Keep the entirestructure clean, warm andwell-ventilated, but check forand repair drafts.

»Many horses are win-tered outside, but protectionis still needed from rain andsnow. A horse can be blanket-ed to fend off precipitation, orshelter under a shed. Duringbitter cold, all horses shouldbe stabled.

» It is often difficult to

graze in winter. Put plenty ofhay out. Like other animals,horses need more food in coldweather.

Few farmers have enoughstructures to shelter all theircattle, so winter is of specialconcern:

» Clean water is absolutelynecessary. A single cowdrinks 14 gallons a day.

» Once the temperaturedrops below freezing, cattleusually need more food – sun-light, precipitation, blanket-ing and wind can change thetemperature threshold. Feed-ing adjustments should bemade gradually.

Tips for keeping pets safe in cold weather

GuestColumnistCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

When you think about all thatwomen have accomplished in thelast several decades, it’s prettyastounding. Just consider theirbuying and earning power: Ac-cording to Nielsen (August 2013),women now control approximately$12 trillion of the U.S. share of $18trillion in global consumer spend-ing. And approximately 28 percentof today’s working married womenout-earn their husbands, accordingto Census Bureau data from USAToday.

But for as many strides aswomen have made, theystill only earn 77 centsfor every dollar earnedby a man, according toCensus Bureau data.Women tend to save farless than men when plan-ning for retirement – buthave higher retirementexpenses and longer lifeexpectancies.

That’s why it’s in-creasingly important forwomen to take control oftheir financial futures by employ-ing smart investment strategies.And before you go thinking, “In-vestment strategies are for thewealthy,” think again. There are afew simple steps every woman cantake now to positively impact herlong-term financial outlook.

1. Talk to a financial adviser: Afinancial adviser can help you seethe big picture and identify practi-cal ways to achieve your vision.They can help determine whetheror not you’re saving enough and ifyou’re investing in the rightplaces, according to certain fac-tors including, but not limited to,your goals, objectives, and toler-ance for risk. Financial advisersaren’t exclusive to billionaires,either. Many banks have financialadvisers who are available to workwith customers at all levels ofincome, age and net worth. But besure you are comfortable withyour financial adviser; if he or sheseems disinterested, you’re in thewrong office.

2. Pay yourself first: The onlyway to accumulate wealth is tosave more than you spend. Bar-ring some unforeseen windfall,like a lottery winning or an inheri-tance, every woman will probablyneed a retirement account to rely

on. So set aside a portion of yourpre-tax paycheck to a 401(k) orIRA, especially if your employeroffers a contribution match. May-be you can only contribute 2 per-cent of your income – that’s fine!Try setting a manageable scheduleunder which you raise your contri-bution by half a percent. Startsmall and absorb the reduction inyour cash-on-hand steadily. In afew years, you’ll be amazed at howmuch you’ve saved. The sooneryou start saving (and investing),the better off you’ll be.

3. Consider a spendingfreeze:Not sure your bankaccount can weather a “payyourself first” savings strat-egy? Consider putting your-self on – and sticking to – athree-month spendingfreeze. For one month, trackevery dime you spend. Then,cut out all of your extraexpenses: Eliminate thepremium cable channels (orcable entirely), eat at homeand resist the buy-one-get-

one sales. This will reset yourspending cycle so you can gainbetter control of your finances.

4. Avoid the temptation totinker: The biggest mistake awoman can make is changing your401(k) too frequently. A good ruleof thumbmight be to review your401(k) when you change yourclocks. Ensure that your funds arekeeping pace with the market,reallocate if necessary and thenwalk away. Remember that your401(k) is a long-term plan, so itshould withstand the ebb and flowof the market. You just have to bepatient and avoid the temptation toconstantly fine-tune your invest-ments. Now, if you’re not comfort-able with the fluctuations of yourportfolio, it may be time to adjustyour asset allocation and theamount of risk you’re taking on.

Taking control of your financialfuture is empowering and a bitdaunting. Ask for guidance, con-tribute as much as you can, stay ontop of your spending and staydiligent about your investments.You’ll be impressed with how yourwealth grows.

Women: TakeControl of YourFinances

ShannonJohnsonCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

“O’ Lord, I pray, please let your ear beattentive to the prayer of your servant,and to the prayer of your servants whodesire to fear your name; and let yourservant prosper this day, I pray, and granthimmercy in the sight of thisman.” (Nehemiah 1:11)

There will be many challengesfor us in 2014. Maybe you’vealready had your fair share inJanuary. Challenges regardingour finances, future plans, issuesin the workplace, church, orneighborhood. The list is endless.Challenges can cause us to domany things – act in haste, runaway, become discouraged, re-main on edge, or “clam up” andfreeze.

We could learn a lot from a certainman in the bible about how to face chal-lenges. A man by the name of Nehemiah,we’re told, was “the king’s cupbearer.”This meant he acted as bodyguard, ad-viser and food taster for the king. (I don’tknow about you, but that sounds a lot likethe role of a parent to me.)

Yet when Nehemiah was in great dis-tress over the ruin of Jerusalem, hishomeland, the bible tells us he “sat downand wept, and mourned for many days; Iwas fasting and praying before the Godof heaven.” (Nehemiah 1:4)

Nehemiah did not act hastily, runaway, become discouraged, remain onedge or “clam up” and freeze. He did notbecome outraged or “check out” with pillsor alcohol.

Make no mistake, he was hurting andhe took his pain and overwhelming cir-cumstances to the only one who could fix

them: God.What’s also interesting about Nehemi-

ah’s response to his situation is what hedid first: “sat down and wept.” Many of ustry not to weep when problems arise. We

feel the need to “remain strong”for our spouses, children, andothers who may perceive our tearsas discouragement, weakness or“breaking down.”

In my recent journey to morefully experience the presence ofGod I often find myself weepinguncontrollably in a church service.And even my precious 6 year old isaware of the negative connotationsassociated with crying, as she isoften the first to ask, “Are you sad

mommy? Don’t cry.”Tears can be profoundly cleansing, a

detox of the mind, and incredibly healing.A good cry has the ability to providegreat clarity and direction.

You may not feel the need to let out agood wail in public the next time you’refaced with a challenge, but in the comingyear, I challenge you not to hold backwhen the tears are persisting.

If one of your resolutions for the newyear is to grow closer to Christ, and be-come a stronger man or woman of God,remember what John 11:35 says, that even“Jesus wept.”

THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2014

Inspiredbyherownhe-ro, JackieWaters ofHigh-land Heights recentlylaunched a website devot-ed to transforming chil-drenbattlingillnessesintosuperheroes.

HelpYourHero.orglaunched recently andwas created inmemory ofWaters’ hero: her sisterTracy Siemer,who battleda rare form of brain can-cer for 21 years.

Siemer had a strongsupport group while shefoughtcancer.Waterscre-ated the website in hopesthat others could experi-ence that same level ofsupport, but in a uniqueway.

After being diagnosedwith mesenchymal chon-drosarcoma, Siemer andher family were told bydoctors at St. ElizabethHospital inEdgewoodthatno one survived the can-cer.

Siemer didn’t want tobelieve it. She was deter-minedtobethefirsttosur-vive. She decided that shewanted to be a superhero.

InNovember 2000, justbefore Siemer underwenther third brain surgery,she knew she had to betoughforhertwosons,herfriends and her family.What she did next willnever be forgotten tothose close to her.

Just before the sur-gery, Siemer bought Su-permanpajamasandnick-named herself Superwo-man T-Si.

People in Siemer’s cor-ner became known as hersuperfriends.

“It was a way for us tokeep Superwoman T-Si inthe forefront of ourmindsinstead of her disease,”Waters said.

Superwoman T-Si suc-cumbed to cancer in May2012 at 45, leaving behindher two sons, Austin andChaz.

“Going through 21years of this rare braincancer where she wasn’t

even expected to live andnever asked God, ‘Whyme?’ – that really pushedmetolookat lifedifferent-ly,” Waters said. “It mademe realize that if she cando it, than I cando this andwe need to pay it forwardfor everything that peopledid for us.”

The idea behindHelpYourHero.org is tocreate a community thatneeds help engaging oth-ers with their story in afun and entertaining way.

Onthewebsite,parentscan help their child createa superhero persona andbuild superhero head-quarters.

“When someone is di-agnosed with a disease,people don’t knowwhat todo,” Waters said. “It isvery overwhelming. Youdon’t knowwhat to do andyoudon’tknowwhat to tellthem. When people don’tknow what to do, they re-treat.

“Help Your Hero wasbuilt because we neededto find a way to help peo-ple help their hero. Nowpeople have somethingelse besides the illness it-self to talk about.”

There are 24 differentsuperhero designs fromwhich to choose. Patientscan name themselves andcreate a forum or a blogfrom hero headquarters.Parentsareencouraged toget sidekick (a close fam-ily friend) to help sharetheir superhero’s story.

The website, whichboasts a handful of super-heroes, is sustainedthrough merchandisesales, Waters said. Shehopes to have sponsor-ships as well, so she canimprove Help Your Heroby adding interactivegames and printed ver-sionsofpersonalizedcom-ic books.

Aftersigning in, theex-ample that guides parentsthrough creation of theirsuperhero is TheGreatG-Hawk.

The Great G-Hawk,known offline as GrantJanszen, battled osteosar-

comaforalmost twoyearsbefore passing away inAugust 2004.

Named after his lovefor the Kansas Jayhawks,The Great G-Hawk wasalso known for his greatsense of humor.

“He was always so fullof life. ... I didn’t help him.He helped me,” his mom,Glenna Janszen, of Cali-fornia, Ky., said. “He hadso much hope. He alwaysbelieved.”

TheGreatG-Hawkhadmany people or super-friends believing in him.

During his battle withbonecancer,UniversityofKansas head basketballcoachBill Self and formerathletic director Lew Per-kins invited The Great G-Hawk to multiple basket-ball games, including ahome matchup against ri-valMissouri.Self thenhad

the teenager speak to histeam after the game. Selfand Perkins also gaveTheGreat G-Hawk a scholar-ship to Kansas if theschool was lucky enoughto have him.

“How humbling is it tothink that the coach of theKansas Jayhawks and theathletic director were onyourside fighting thisbat-tle,” Glenna Janszen said.“It helped him to knowthat he had all these peo-ple behind him.”

Inadditiontothatexpe-rience, Grant Janszen re-ceived a visit from actorWill Smith through theMake-a-Wish Foundation.Grantcouldn’tusehispre-vious wish, which was acruise, becausehewas tooweak at the time. Instead,Grant’s favorite actor sur-prisedhimwithavisit justdays before he died in2004 at the age of 15.

“HelpYourHero is try-ing to pay it forward,”Glenna said. “When ourheroes see people comingbehind them and showingsupport, that could be theline between healing orgiving them a better qual-ity of life.”

Women’s Initiativehosts anniversarybreakfast

I was flipping throughmy gourmet foodmaga-zines and two items keptpopping up as “newbies”for 2014. One is the herbfennel, in particularbronze fennel. I had tochuckle since I’ve grownboth green fennel, whichproduces a delicious bulb,and also bronze, which isgrown for its leaves andseeds, for years.

Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast onmycable show “Love Startsin the Kitchen.” Watch iton TimeWarner localaccess.

The other trend is kale,but not the old-fashionedcurly kale like Grandmagrew. Kale varieties arealmost endless. You’llfind lots of recipes, in-cluding the two I mentionin my pizza recipe. Kaleis an easy cool crop, sogrow some come spring.

I’d also like to issue aformal invitation for youto share your favoriterecipes and tips alongwith the story that goeswith them. I’m not partic-ular, so whatever you liketo cook, whether it’sfancy, plain or in betweenis fine byme. If you sendalong a photo, so muchthe better!

Whole wheat pizzawith garlic, greensand two cheeses

We grow kale, includ-ing Locinato/Tuscan/Dinoand Russian kale. Bothare milder tasting thancurly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spin-

ach tonesdown thetaste ofkale.Greens likethese con-tain nutri-ents essen-tial fortissuegrowth andrepair, and

even your picky eaterswill like this. You can usejust chard or spinach ifyou like.

1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell

2-3 teaspoons finely mincedgarlic

3-4 tablespoons extra virginolive oil

Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves tocover (or large leaves,chopped)

6-8 oz. Fontina cheese,shredded

3-4 oz. crumbled goatcheese

Optional: Sliced tomatoes,chives

Preheat oven to 450degrees. Stir garlic intoolive oil. Brush overcrust. Top with pizzasauce and greens, over-lapping leaves so entiresurface is covered. Sprin-kle with cheeses. Slicecherry or regular toma-toes and lay on top if youlike. Bake 10minutes oruntil cheese melts.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Substitute Gorgonzolafor goat cheese.

Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom cornpudding

Wow – talk about lots

of requests for this! Theoriginal recipe camefrom Priscilla’s mother’scousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almosthas a cult following,” saidPriscilla. Check out myblog for more corn pud-ding recipes, includingthe famous BeaumontInn’s corn pudding, alongwith an old-fashionedversion of this treasuredside dish.

1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Melt butter, beateggs slightly, thenmixeverything together andput in greased 21/2 quartcasserole and bake forabout 45 minutes.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Add extra flavor tobox cakes. NancyMauch,a Clermont County read-er andmom ofmy formereditor, LisaMauch,shares this tip: For boxcakes, substitute milk orjuice for liquid called for.“Adds another element offlavor,” Nancy said.

Buying blue cheese inbulk. Dave, a loyal read-er, said he found a five-pound bag of blue cheesecrumbles at GFS (GordonFood Service) for $19. Hemade batches of NellWilson’s blue cheesedressing and was lookingfor an affordable way todo it.

Tomato preserverecipe a big hit. Lana

Kay, a Northern Ken-tucky reader, mademyauntMargaret’s recipelast summer. “I was sur-prised howmany peoplehad never tasted them,”she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor ata farmer’s market and Ihave no doubt it will be-come a big seller. Tomatopreserves are anothertrendy, but really old-fashioned, condiment thatchefs will be featuringthis year.

As you no doubt havenoticed, doing what youinwardly feel is best cansometimes be difficult.That’s because there isan almost continuousbattle going on betweenyour negative and posi-tive tendencies.

Each of us makes avast numbers of deci-sions each day, and whilewe may cruise throughmany of them on auto-matic pilot, hardly notic-ing what we’re doing, itis the hundreds of most-ly small decisions wemake daily that shapeour character and lives.

You may, for exam-ple, notice a conflictgoing on inside betweentaking an invigoratingwalk in the fresh airversus mindlesslywatching the tube as youeat the last two pieces of

cheese-cake. Oryou mayhave asplit-sec-ond deci-sion onwhether tomake anunneces-sary criti-cal remarkor to re-

main silent. At times likethese, the temptation toside with our lower na-ture can be almost over-whelming, and it be-comes crystal clear thatlife is a battlefield andthat a war rages withineach of us.

We can’t escape thechallenges between ourlower and higher na-tures. To be alive is to beon the battlefield, and ifwe are to grow, we must

make wise decisions inkeeping with our betternatures. We must learnto fight off the inevita-ble attacks by the nega-tive forces of fear,greed, and unkindness.

Properly understood,the battle of life is anopportunity to learn todiscriminate betweenwhat is best for us, andwhat we should avoid; itis an opportunity for usto build our strength,faith, and loving-kind-ness.

It is a training groundin which we learn to bevery alert, in which wechoose to make the wis-est decisions possible.

In all the great reli-gious and philosophicaltraditions of the world-we are encouraged tomake the best choicespossible, for the good of

all.By learning to engage

skillfully in the battlebetween positive andnegative forces, youmore frequently makewise choices, thus grow-ing in strength, wisdom,and happiness. You alsohelp to make the world abetter, more caringplace for everyone.

In our hearts there isa “still, small voice” thatis always there to guideus in making wisechoices. Sometimes wejust have to stop andreally listen to hear it.Resolve in 2014 to workto do the right thingoften.

“Takingafewpreventa-tive steps to weatherproofyourhomeagainst thecoldwill help protect your in-door plumbing against thethreat of breaks, plus itwill paydividendsonener-gy bills in thewinter,” saidJack Bragg, water districtvice president of financeand support services. “Itmakes sense that home-owners should take everyprecaution to winterizetheir property and per-formpreventativemainte-nance to indoor plumb-ing.”

The Northern Ken-tucky Water District en-courages its customers totake the following precau-tions to reduce the risk offreezing pipes that canburst.

Before freezingweather

»Know the location ofyour main water shut-offvalve. If a pipe freezes orbursts, shut the water offimmediately. The mainwater valve is usually lo-cated along a basementwall next to the water me-terorwherethewatersup-ply enters the building.

»Know the areas inyour home where waterpipes are most vulnerableto freezing - crawl spaces,outside walls, outside fau-cets, unheated rooms,basements, garages or at-tics.

• Eliminate sources ofcold air near water lines.Make your basement air-tight by repairing brokenwindows, insulating wallsand closing off crawlspace vents and doors.

» Seal cracks and holesin outside walls and foun-dations.AreaswherecableTVorphonelinesenterthehouse are especially vul-nerable and should besealed with caulking toprotect pipes.

» If your home has ahot-water radiator - bleedthe valves by openingthem slightly and closethem when water appearstoforceanyairpocketsoutthat could cause problemsin the radiator.

» Protect your pipes.Wrap exposedwater pipeswith insulation or UL-list-ed heat tape. Newspaperor fabricmay alsowork astemporarymeasures.

»Drain water lines tooutside faucets. Discon-nect garden and drain gar-den hoses and, if practical,use an indoor valve to shutoff and drain water frompipes leading to outsidefaucets.

»Keepyourthermostatat 55 degrees or higher.

»Wrap your waterheater in an insulationblanket. While not really adanger for freezing, thiscan lower your heatingbills.

In sub-freezingweather

»Drip outside faucets24hours aday (5dropsperminute).

»Open cabinet doorsunder sinks adjacent tooutside walls.

» In unheated garages,shut water off to washingmachines. Turn off boththe hot and cold waterlines and disconnect themfrom the back of thewash-er. Place both lines in thedrainpipe behind thewasher and drip the fau-cets.

» In sustained sub-freezingweather, letwaterdrip slowly from insidefaucets. (Steady drip).

» Take extra precau-tions to protect pipes thathave frozen in the past.You may already knowthat some of the pipes inyour home are vulnerabledue to past experience.

“No!” Nosey barked,“I don’t want to be anangel!”

She wiggled out ofmy arms, grabbed the

whitefeatherhalo I wastrying toplace onher headanddashedthroughthe house.I followedin hotpursuit,through

the living room, downthe hallway and into thebedroom. When I en-tered the darkened bou-doir, she was no whereto be seen. The steadythump-thump-thump ofher wagging tail gaveaway her location as thecorner behind my vanitywhere she was happilychewing the heavenlyheadgear to bits.

“Give me that,” Iintoned in my very best“Alpha Doggie Mother”voice, grabbing at hercollar. Success!“Aaaarrrroooooo!” shehowled, spitting out amouthful of slobberyfeathers. “OK, now can Ihave my treat?”

“Nope, it doesn’t workthat way, missy,” Isighed, opening hermouth and checking forstray fluff. “You only gettreats for sitting stilland letting me take cutepictures of you.”

That’s a tall order fora mischievous 711⁄2-pound basset hound,but, after three years ofliving with us, you’d

think she’d be used to it.Tom and I never hadhuman children and weare, admittedly, thosewhacko “dog people”that non-pet lovers rolltheir eyes at. So, need-less to say, Nosey hasled a constantly pho-tographed life.

The archbishop ofCovington has a framedphoto of Nosey sitting inthe middle of the Nativ-ity scene in front of St.Thomas Church in FortThomas. We have photosof her leading the MountAdams Reindog Paradewith former CincinnatiReds pitcher TomBrowning, chasing sev-eral ceremonial “firstpitches” at FlorenceFreedom baseballgames, begging in frontof Dixie Chili and beingfed a T-bone by the exec-utive chef in the lobby ofJeff Ruby’s.

Taking photos of No-sey is one of the greatjoys of my life. It’s fun,creative and a greatopportunity to spendtime playing with her.

So, imagine howthrilled I was when Imet pet photographer/animal rescue workerCarol Locey at the YW-CA’s Bark Out AgainstBattering a fewmonthsago. I had been search-ing for someone just likeher to guest on my “Mar-sie’s Menagerie” radioprogram on 1480 WDJO.Talk about ask and yeshall receive?

Carol gave me andmy listeners simple tofollow advice on gettingprofessional qualityphotographs of your

pets using your owncamera. I’ve taken hertips to heart and theyhave taken my photos ofNosey and SqueakerSnow our hamster to awhole new level.

Don’t use a flash.That will prevent glow-ing eyeballs. It can alsostartle your pets whichwill make them runfrom the camera nowand in the future.

Do something to gettheir attention. Caroluses duck calls. Don’tsay their names becausethey will start walkingtoward you.

De-clutter the scene.Move dirty socks, toysand anything thatdoesn’t need to be in thebackground of yourphoto. The “cleaner” theshot, the better. If youcan’t de-clutter, zoom in

close. Fill the frame withtheir beautiful faces,focusing on the eyes.

Think ahead andstage your photo. Putyour pet in a beautifulscene, sit them on achair in front of a win-dow, etc.

Unfortunately, Carolcouldn’t give me anyadvice on how to getNosey to hold still. Iknow I complain a lot,but that is sort of part ofthe fun.

Question: I’m gettinggarden catalogs in themail, but I just found abunch of seeds left overfrom last year. Do youthink they will stillgrow?

Answer: Be sure yourleftover seeds can germi-nate before you send inthat new seed catalogorder, or visit the localgarden supply center,since you may need tobuy some replacementseeds. However, whenproperly stored, manyvegetable seeds willremain viable, or able togerminate, for three ormore years, includingtomato, carrot, pumpkin,cucumber and cabbage.

A few vegetables(spinach, onion, andsweet corn) produceseeds that remain viablefor less than two to threeyears. Thus, it’s best tobuy fresh seeds of thesevegetables every year ortwo.

It’s easy to check theviability of vegetableseeds that are more thanone year old by using the“rag doll test.” Simplywrap 10-20 seeds fromeach packet in a papertowel that’s moist, butnot dripping wet. Roll orfold the paper towels toenclose the seeds and puttowels in a sealed, air-tight plastic bag. Put alabel in with the seed-containing paper towels,or mark the outside ofthe plastic bag. Put theplastic bags in a warmarea where the temper-ature will range from70-80 degrees Fahren-heit. Viable seed shouldgerminate in one to twoweeks.

If 75 percent or more

of theseeds ger-minatefrom anygivenpacket,you knowthoseseeds willbe fine forplanting inthe gardenin 2014. It’s

still OK to use seeds ifabout 50 percent germi-nate from a packet. How-ever, you might want to“plant thicker” and usetwice as many seeds asnormal at planting time,to make up for the lowergermination rate. If 30percent or fewer of theseeds in a packet germi-nate, it’s best to order orbuy fresh seeds. Other-wise, you will have largebare patches with noplants in the gardenrows.

If you depend on agood harvest from somemajor crops such as snapbeans, sweet corn, but-ternut squash or picklingcucumbers, it’s probablywise to plant a mixtureof new and old seeds,rather than using onlythe old seed. Buyingsome extra fresh seed ischeap insurance thatyou’ll have fresh produceavailable when you’reready to preserve it.

If you would like towin free flower and veg-etable seeds by correctlyanswering horticulturetrivia and plant identifi-cation questions, go towww.facebook.com/BooneHortNews.

Old seeds likely still good
