ALEXANDRIA — Ray Hil-debrand’s legacy of teachingand leading St. Mary School issomething Principal MattGrosser still hears about in hisfifth year on the job.

Hildebrand, who startedteaching in Catholic schools in1968, was surprised with aSept. 18 retirement ceremonyat St. Mary’s where he workedfor 26 years until 2000. St. Ma-ry, at 9 South Jefferson St. inAlexandria, has about 300 stu-dents enrolled from preschoolto eighth grade.

Since leaving St. Mary asprincipal, Hildebrand hasserved as an elementary con-sultant for Northern Kentuck-y’s Catholic schools. Hilde-brand retires as assistant su-perintendent for education.

A former mayor of Alexan-dria from 1990-1994, Hilde-brand remains a member of St.Mary Parish.

Hildebrand, with his wife,children and grandchildren athis side, was honored in thegym with songs and stories.The Most Rev. Roger J. Foys,bishop of the Diocese of Co-vington, said a prayer and

spoke to Hildebrand and theentire school.

“Ray, we don’t know whatwe’re going to do when youleave – and I mean that frommy heart,” Foys said.

Education is a ministry inwhich Hildebrand is commit-ted to serving, Foys said. “Andit is a ministry.”

Grosser said he’s still re-minded daily from parents,teachers and students aboutHildebrand’s deep connec-tions with the school.

In a way, Hildebrand is still

synonymous with St. Mary,Grosser said.

Hildebrand went a step fur-ther when he spoke to thecrowd.

“This is still my school,” hesaid.

Hildebrand said spending aday saying goodbye at St. Ma-ry was something he thoughtabout when deciding to retire.Knowing the day would comedidn’t help, he said.

“Very few times in my life

When Jeff Richmond goes tothe public library in Fort Thom-as, he looks for discs he can playin his DVD player at home.Changes in technology makevideo stores hard to find.

People using smartphones asa primary way to find informa-tion is one reason the CampbellCounty Public Library has beensurveying people and askingwhat the library is doing right.

The library also wants toknow what it needs to do better,director JC Morgan said.

An online and paper surveyand three Sept. 23 public meet-ings have already given peoplea say in creating a new librarylong-range plan, Morgan said.The deadline for taking the sur-vey at http://bit.ly/CCLibSurveyis Sept. 30.

Richmond said he reads plen-ty of books, but he doesn’t oftenget them at the library.

“Usually I buy books becauseI like to write in them,” he said.

The library struggles with aperception that the Internet haseliminated the need for a li-brary, Morgan said.

But, the director said, “Idon’t think so.”

Morgan said he walksthrough the library daily andsees people reading periodicals,magazines and newspapers orusing a piece of computerequipment either the libraryprovided or they brought in.

“So all of us as individualsare struggling with technol-

ogy,” he said. “We’re trying tofigure out how this little 3 x 4(inch) piece of plastic is going tofit into our lives.”

People use their phones tolook at Facebook or who starredin a movie, Morgan said. Peoplealso use their phone to check outbooks and use a new library appto search the catalog, he said.

“They’re enormously help-ful, but they’re also enormouslyintrusive,” Morgan said. “Yousee parents who are not payingany attention to their childrenbecause they’re staring at thislittle 3 by 4 (inch) piece of plas-tic.”

The survey asks peoplewhere the library fits in theirlives now and where it can go, hesaid.

So far, almost 800 peoplehave taken the survey. Mostpeople took the survey online ormailed back their responses.

Of the online and paper re-sponses, 96 percent said theywere satisfied with the library’sservices, Morgan said.

The library’s South Branchproject was cited by a majorityof the 4 percent who were un-happy, Morgan said. In a vote of24,000 to 14,545, Campbell Coun-ty voters rejected a propertytax increase in 2012 to pay for aSouth Branch on land the li-brary still owns south of Alex-andria.

“Of the people who are un-happy, about half of them thinkwe should have built the SouthBranch,” he said.

TAYLOR MILL — Ma-jestic tree houses stretchfor the sky as noble woodspirits rest beside them insilence. A hummingbirdcollects nectar from aflower as a regal Santastands ready to deliverwishes.

Welcome to a meetingof the River Valley WoodCarvers where imagina-tion, chainsaws, detailingknives and a little elbowgrease transform formertrees into works of art.

The group meets 6-9p.m. the first and thirdMondays of each month atTaylor Mill United Meth-odist Church, 5160 TaylorMill Road, Taylor Mill.

Troy Baker, 38, of He-bron, has been a part ofthe club for a few years.

Baker has been fiddlingwith wood since he was ayoung boy.

“My grandpa used tosit on his porch and whit-tle,” he said. “He’d give uskids a pocketknife andpiece of wood. He’d makeanimals and we’d just bemaking marks on sticks.But it was fun. Now, I lovecreating stuff from noth-ing. I get a big kick out ofseeing people’s faces lightup when they see whatI’ve made, especially thekids.”

Instead of pocket-knives, Baker’s tool ofchoice is a chainsaw.

His life-sized carvingsof Batman and Chewbac-ca, the big, hairy creaturefrom Star Wars fame,have won him accolades.His Batman won firstplace at the KentuckyState Fair this year. Chew-bacca won second place inlast year’s fair.

These and works ofother carvers will be ondisplay at the club’s freecarving show to be held 10a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday,Oct. 3, at the Scheben Li-brary, 88999 U.S. 42,Union. The carvers willgive demonstrations andhave their work on displayand for sale. Special fea-

tures will include carverKathy Overcash, a whim-sical cottonwood barkcarver and two chainsawcarvers, including Baker.

The mission of the Riv-er Valley Wood Carvers isto promote, teach andpractice the art of wood-carving and wood burn-ing. Club membership,which currently includesages 16 to 94, is open toanyone interested inwoodcarving or woodburning. Founded in 1999,the club covers the areasof southern Ohio andNorthern Kentucky. Thegroup hosts seminars andoffers a mentoring pro-gram that pairs novicecarvers with those whohave advanced experi-ence.

“It’s a relaxing time,”River Valley presidentRex Sansfacon, Florence,said. “It’s nice to be withother folks who share thesame interest. It’s a verygood club. It’s a learningclub and we just enjoy our-selves.”

John Dotson, who trav-eled from Withamsville,Ohio, to sit with fellowcarvers this Mondaynight, patiently, but ag-gressively carves into apiece of wood whittling itinto an Indian bust.

“Carving becomes apassion,” Dotson said.“It’s like a drug. When youare creating, you losetrack of time and every-thing around you.”

David Chadwick, 79, ofKenton County, said he tooenjoys woodcarving be-cause he gets to make “myown creations.”

On a cool Septembernight Chadwick is gettingin the spirit of Christmas,working on an ornament.This night he delicatelycarves a snowman andwill end up making a doz-en more holiday orna-

ments for Cincinnati Chil-dren’s Hospital MedicalCenter. The club donatesornaments to the hospitalfor kids to take homewhen they are released.

“My grandpa whittled

and I remember him mak-ing things and givingthem to neighbor kids,” hesaid. “They’d be so excit-ed. That’s how I got intocarving. I rememberedhim doing that and decid-

ed to join the club a fewyears ago. I seem to have alittle talent for it. It allstarts from a blank pieceof wood and you cut awayand you can make some-thing of it. It’s so relaxingand satisfying.”

Debbie Ward, 57, ofFlorence, said she findscarving to be therapeutic.

“You just concentrateon what you’re doing andthe stress leaves you,” shesaid. “Making somethingwith your hands is also sosatisfying. I like coming tothe club and I’m lookingforward to bettering myskills. Everybody here isso friendly and helpful.”

Suzanne Millay, 55, ofCrestview Hills, stumbledupon the carving club afew years ago when sheread an article about it in alocal newspaper.

“When I came I wasjust hooked,” she said.

Millay started carvingabout 18 years ago. Shehad a Christmas ornamentthat she dearly loved, aSanta, but his arm had bro-ken off.

“Not wanting to throwit away, I went to the back-yard and found a twig anddid my best to replicatethe other arm,” she said.“It turned out good and Ikept with carving. It was agreat way to express my-self.”

Now Millay carves herown creations she calls“wood spirits,” noblefaces carved into treebark.

Hildebrand was princi-pal for six years beforeleaving St. Mary’s to worka diocese job.

Hildebrand found joyin teaching junior highstudents.

“I taught science,” hesaid. “Is there anything

else?”Prior to joining St. Ma-

ry in 1974, Hildebrandsaid he had a unique op-portunity to teach fouryears at St. Joseph Schoolin Cold Spring where heattended school as a child.St. Mary and Alexandria

quickly became home inthe 1970s, he said.

“This is the most ap-propriate place I could beto receive these honorsyou bestowed upon me be-cause this is where I spentmost of my career,” Hil-debrand said.

Another half of thoseunhappy about the li-brary’s direction didn’t

want the library to try andbuild the South Branch inthe first place, Morgansaid.

“Positively, I haveheard from more peoplewho want to see morehours for the library,” he

said.People want longer

weekend hours into theevenings, he said.

The library is continu-ing to focus on book col-lection improvement andadding more electronic

books, he said.“We are a popular ma-

terials lending library, apopular services library,”Morgan said. “We want tomeet the informationaland recreational needs ofour community.”

JR Roth, who lives nearCold Spring in unincorpo-rated Campbell County,was one of three people toattend and comment at allthree Sept. 23 meetings.About 10 people attendedthe three meetings. Rothis also a plaintiff in a casequestioning the librarysystem’s right to increaseproperty taxes without apetition that is awaiting ahearing at Kentucky’s Su-preme Court.

Roth said the libraryhas played an importantrole throughout history ofbeing a repository of in-formation.

The library needs to re-main focused on havingbooks and not carryingitems including DVDs, hesaid.

Libraries are not theprimary center for all re-search though, he said.

“You can’t beat thephone,” Roth said. “It’sconnected to the Inter-net.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS

OCTOBER 1, 2015 • ALEXANDRIA RECORDER • 7ANEWS

Being a presenter at MotherEarth News Fair is always funfor me. This year my presenta-tion was titled “A Garden ofSimples.”

Simples are herbs that areused for one, simple medicinal

quality, such asginger for gingertea to alleviatetummy upset, orlavender bathsalts for calmingand soothing andbasil face splashto cleanse andremove environ-mental toxins.

Let me knowif you want those

recipes. Check out myAbouteating.com site for pho-tos.

I noticed several trendstaking place at the far. Two ofthe biggest are growing garlicand making fermented prod-ucts. Heck, I chuckle when Ithink of those two. Some of ushave been doing that for years,like growing hard neck garlic(that’s the garlic that producesthose beautiful scapes), andmaking fermented foods likethat German standby: sauer-kraut, and a more trendy fer-mented product like kimchi.

Another trend is sproutingyour own salad toppings. Again,not new by any means. I’vebeen sprouting lentils, radishand bean seeds for a long time.They’re really easy and a goodone for the kids to help with.

Why sprouts are goodfor you

Lentils contain a bunch ofvitamins and minerals, includ-ing iron and magnesium (forpreventing those dreadedcramps in legs and feet).

Substitute for cornstarch(for Irene Robinson)

Arrowroot is my first

choice. It can be substitutedequally, 1-1.

Tapioca flour/starch. Use 2tablespoons for every 1 table-spoon.

Potato starch. Another 1-1sub, but tends to lump a bitwhen stirred in.

All purpose flour/riceflour. Use 3 tablespoons forevery 1 tablespoon.

Readers want to know -Black garlic: What is it?

A fermented product, be-lieve it or not, and it takesover a month in a special fer-menter. During that time, thegarlic turns black and healthqualities increase. Used inChinese and Thai food.

Lentil sprouts are reallyeasy to grow and a good one

for the kids to help with.

Good ideas from garden sprouting all over

Lentil sprouts

This is the method I use for sprouting any seeds, so feel free tobe creative here.

1/2 cup lentils2 cups water1 wide-mouth quart canning jar or other clear containerPiece of cheesecloth or coffee filterRubber band

Rinse lentils and drain. Pour into jar and cover with 2 cups coldwater. Cover with cheesecloth or coffee filter and secure with rubberband. Let sit overnight. Drain off water, rinse and drain again. Dothis once a day. Cover. I like to lay mine on its side to give sproutsroom. After 3-4 days, they will be ready. Store in refrigerator, cov-ered. Use in salads, stir-fries and spreads or just eat as is.

Lazarus New Englandstyle ham loaf

I am pretty excited aboutsharing this heirloom recipe forseveral readers. Cynthia Beischelshared this recipe from her up-coming book “Cincinnati’s BygoneDowntown Tea Rooms.”

On a side note, I’ve worked atdifferent Lazarus/Macy’s stores overthe years as their culinary profes-sional, and remember fondly mydays with Perrin Rountree at thedowntown store. We cooked upfood and fun. Now that I think of it,I wish I would have asked the candymakers in the downtown store justhow they made all those delectabletreats. If any of you worked there orknow of someone who did and haveany recipes/tips to share, please do.

2 pounds ground ham1 pound ground pork1 cup graham cracker crumbs3/4 cup milk2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350o.Mix pork and ham until well

blended.Add cracker crumbs, milk and

eggs.Mix all until blended.Place into two greased loaf

pans and bake 1 hour.Serve with pineapple sauce.

Yield: 10 to 12 servings.Pineapple sauce

20 ounce can crushed pineapple1/4 cup sugar1 cup water1 tablespoon cornstarchPinch ground cloves

Combine pineapple, sugar and3/4 cup of water in saucepan.

Over medium heat, heat toboiling.

Mix cornstarch with remaining1/4 cup of water.

Add to pineapple mixture andcook until sauce is slightly thickenedand becomes clear.

Overcast and 68 degreesmight not be the sort ofweather most folks dreamabout, but it doesn’t get muchbetter for my favorite outdoorfall activities.

All winter I hear myfriends complaining that theyare stuck inside because it istoo cold. When summer rollsaround those same friendscomplain that it is too hot tobe outside. In the spring theyare too busy. I’m sure there isan excuse for fall, but I’m notbuying it. Fall in NorthernKentucky is perfect for out-door activities, with its crispair, gorgeous canopy of fallfoliage and the crunch ofleaves underfoot.

An abundance of researchhas shown that exercisingoutdoors greatly improvesmental as well as physicalhealth. Yet, Kentucky ranks47th out of 50 states in overallhealth.

That’s why Skyward, theengine and engineer behindNorthern Kentucky’s five-year community developmentplan, has identified wellnessas a key strategy for drivingeconomic growth and commu-nity improvement.

This fall,Skyward willbe workingwith commu-nity leadersto develop aprogramcalled Live-Well NKY.LiveWell isdesigned toengageschools,churches,

local governments and worksites to help improve the cli-mate that allows for healthychoices to be easy choices.LiveWell will support effortsto create a culture of goodhealth where we live, workand play. It will facilitatechanges in exercise and phys-ical activity, healthy eating,and use/exposure to tobacco.LiveWell represents corepublic health work, and theNorthern Kentucky HealthDepartment is excited to beone of the partners launchingsuch a campaign in our re-gion.

Want to start to LiveWellthis fall? Consider some ofthese activities: explore thegardens at Central Park, take

a bike ride along the LickingRiver Greenway Trail, join anearly morning outdoor bootcamp exercise class, or plan afamily day at one of the fallfestivals in the area.

My family will be visitinglocal farmers’ markets forfresh local vegetables to usein home-cooked dinners. Wewon’t look at raking leaves asa dreaded chore, but rather anopportunity for active fun,allowing the adults to burncalories making the piles andthe kids to be active runningand jumping in those piles –and perhaps a few more calo-ries burned as the adults re-rake after the fun has ended.It doesn’t have to feel likeexercise to be a great work-out.

So, don’t let these beautiful68 degree fall days pass bywithout utilizing them to ener-gize your commitment to yourhealth.

Set the excuses aside. Thisis a great time of year to getout, get moving and get fit.

October is Breast CancerAwareness Month. Which isgreat – don’t get me wrong.

But the reality is, you haveto have awareness year round.Breast cancer does not just hitin October. You should beproactive on a daily basis.

I know this firsthand. I am abreast cancer survivor. I havehad two mastectomies, eightrounds of chemotherapy andlost my hair.

I had a clean mammogramin December 2000. Fivemonths later, while movinginto a new house, I brushed upagainst a box and noticed myleft breast was sore and tender.When it was time appropriate,I did a self-exam and felt alump that was unusual. Mybody was telling me somethingwas not right.

I saw my doctor. I wentthrough a diagnostic proce-dure. Three days later, on Aug.6, 2001, I had surgery and wasdiagnosed with breast cancer.

Now I talk publicly as oftenas I can to help educate ourcommunity. I speak to schools,church groups and businesses.I am grateful to work as awomen’s product consultant atSt. Elizabeth Edgewood. Icounsel patients and families,sharing my experiences andproviding a shoulder to leanon. I want to help provide com-fort just as people did for me.

I regularly hand out mycellphone number so peoplecan call me 24/7. I meet withpatients and family memberswhenever and wherever theywould like. I once went to ahome that had multiple cats. Iam allergic. And so, in themiddle of winter, we sat in acar with the heat on so I couldlisten to a husband and wifeshare their anxieties.

St. Elizabeth will have itsmobile mammography van out

and about at least 12 times thismonth. But listen, even if youdon’t have an appointment orseek out the mobile mammovan this month, make an ap-pointment in the next fewmonths. Make that promise toyourself and keep it.

In the meantime, here arethree tips from someone whohas been through it:

1. Get acclimated withyour body. Conduct regularself-exams to set a baseline.You have to know your body toknow when it changes. If I hadnot done that, I don’t know if Iwould be here today.

2. Know your risk factors.Find out your family history.It’s important information tohave. I knew that my maternalgrandmother died of breastcancer and that her oldestdaughter (my aunt) had elec-tive mastectomies.

3. Develop a dialogue withthe women in your life who aremost important to you. Askthem if they’ve had a mam-mogram lately and whetherthey do self-exams. I know it’sawkward at first but it willbecome less so over time. Turnit into a humorous exchange;whatever it takes to have theconversation.

That dialogue is a stepping-stone. You can’t cross the fin-ish line until you take the firstbaby steps.

Halloran, a HighlandHeights resident, is a women’sproduct consultant at St. Eliza-beth Edgewood and in 2006founded Chicks and Chucks, anonprofit resource for breastcancer patients in need of fi-nancial and emotional support.Halloran has helped raiseroughly $450,000 for her foun-dation and the American Can-cer Society combined. She washonored as an Enquirer Womanof the Year in 2009.

They pretty muchhave been all year. They hadthat mentality that theyweren’t going to lose.”

Tolle, NCC’s leading scorerwith 24 goals and eight assistsfor the year, was named MostValuable Player of the tourna-ment. She also had a successfulPK in the semifinal win shoot-out.

NCC wins All ‘A’ titleJames [email protected]

Coming off high school ca-reers where they helped pavethe way for history at some ofNorthern Kentucky’s top pro-grams, several rivals areworking together to make his-tory at the college level.

The Union College volley-ball team is 13-3 through Sept.25, and undefeated (7-0) in theAppalachian Athletic Confer-ence after a big 3-2 win overBryan (Tenn.) in a battle forfirst place.

Among those leading theway is junior Julia Edmonds, agraduate of Cooper HighSchool.

“I feel this year we have areally strong team,” Edmondssaid. “We have a lot of return-ers but we’re still prettyyoung. I feel we’ve becomereally strong and we’ve im-proved a lot.”

Union, located in Barbour-ville, Ky., in the southeasternquadrant of the common-wealth, has benefited from theskill of Edmonds, who is fourthon the team in kills and leadingthe Bulldogs in blocks with 41.She was recently named AACAttacker of the Week after col-lecting 18 total kills in a pair ofwins.

“My favorite thing is thefact we’re like a family,” shesaid. “Any time anyone has aproblem we help out and lend ahand. Schoolwork, family, weall support each other.”

Edmonds had 352 total killsher firsts two seasons and wason the all-conference fresh-man team two years ago.

“She came in the same timeI did,” said head coach JeremyWise. “She’s developed a lot ev-ery year and we’ve challengedher. She’s done everything weasked her to do. She’s steppedinto a leadership role and be-come the captain of our juniorclass.”

The starting setter is Chan-dler Gray, a senior who had 594assists last season. She aver-ages nearly five assists per set

this season. A Campbell Coun-ty High School graduate, Graywas an all-freshman pick threeyears ago and is a two-time ac-ademic all-conference pick.Younger sister Carson Grayhas joined her on the Unionroster, and has played abouthalf the sets in her first year onthe team.

“It’s nice for them to play to-gether here and their family isenjoying it,” Wise said.“They’re both cut out of thesame mold, they’re great lead-ers and great setters. They’regreat competitors. They loveto win and they love pushingtheir teammates to the nextlevel. After Chandler leaves,Carson will probably step upinto the same role.”

Chandler Gray had a sea-son-high 25 assists in the five-set win over Bryan.

“I love playing with them,”Edmonds said. “I love havingher as a setter. It was weird atfirst and now we get to play to-gether I wouldn’t have it anyother way.”

Summer Manning, a senior,played at Scott High School,which won three district titleswhen she was there and hassince won the 10th Region titlethe past two seasons, reachingthe state semis last year. Man-ning has played every set forthe Bulldogs this season and issecond on the team in digs.

Sophomore Jenna Nelson,from Boone County HighSchool, started seven matcheslast year and has played inabout half the sets this season.

Carson Gray played on a10th Region title team in 2012.The Jaguars have had a lot ofsuccess in recent years afteropening in 2007.

“We won the Cake Classic asa sophomore,” Edmonds said.“It was the first tournamentCooper ever won. I had a lot ofhelp to help develop my skills.In high school we all had thedetermination to build the pro-gram up and the hard workpaid off.”

Anna Schneider of NewCath, left,and Madison Hill of Boone Countyjoust at the net as NewportCentral Catholic beat BooneCounty 3-0 Sept. 23.

“Quite frankly, they shouldlearn that courage starts at ayoung age, especially whenyou deal with obstacles,” Wig-gins said. “I love the way myplayers handled it, but I’vecome to expect that fromthem.”

The visiting team also madean impact. Nicholas Countyhead coach Robert Hopkinslearned through a messageboard that the Mustangs werehonoring Wes at the game. TheBluejackets also raised moneyand presented Wes with thegift on the field before thegame. Every Bluejackets play-er contributed and encouraged

their classmates to donate aswell.

“It was exciting for us to be apart of it,” said Hopkins, whowas inspired by his meetingwith Wes. “It’s something toteach our kids that it’s aboutmore than X’s and O’s.”

Even though the programsare rivals and played a highly-contested game, which Bros-sart pulled out 27-20, Fridaynight showed that both teamshave a firm perspective onwhat matters most.

“That’s Nicholas County.We’re a small rural communi-ty. We always pull together andhelp each other,” said Hopkins.“It doesn’t matter if you’refrom here or where you’refrom. We’re here to help peo-ple.”

The Mustangs were touched

by the generous gesture fromtheir opponent.

“I think that shows that thiscause of raising childhood can-cer awareness rises abovefootball,” said Cetrulo. “It’s acompetition, but we can putthat aside to focus on some-thing bigger.”

Wes and Will were at thecenter of the Mustangs’ pre-game huddle. The referee al-lowed Wes to handle coin toss-ing duties. The brothers thenwatched the Brossart victoryfrom the sidelines. The Mus-tangs know that their youngestcaptain will continue to inspirethem throughout this seasonand beyond.

Said Wiggins: “As long asI’m the head coach here, theyalways have a spot as part ofthe Brossart family.”

Fall is known for itsabundance of great,fresh foods, and applesare among the mostpopular. You can pre-pare apples in manydifferent ways and

includethem asingredi-ents inmaincourses,sidedishesanddes-serts.

Notonly areapples

great additions to anymeal, but they are alsopacked full of nutri-ents. They are low incalories, fat and sodi-um, cholesterol freeand a great source offiber. Apples also con-tain phytochemicalsthat may help preventmany chronic diseasesincluding cancer, heartdisease, asthma anddiabetes.

The United States ishome to more than2,500 varieties of ap-ples. Several of thoseare grown in Kentucky,including Red Deli-cious, Rome, Winesap,Gala, Jonathan, Cort-land and Golden Deli-cious. You can get Ken-tucky-grown apples atorchards, farmersmarkets and somegrocery stores acrossthe state. Look for theKentucky Departmentof Agriculture’s “Ken-tucky Proud” labelwhen shopping.

When selecting ap-ples, look for firm,crisp and colorfulfruit. Avoid appleswith shriveled skins,bruises, worm holes ordecayed spots. Appleslast longer in yourrefrigerator, either inthe crisper drawer orin an unsealed plasticbag.

You can leave ap-ples out on the counterfor a few days, but anextensive period oftime at room temper-ature will cause applesto shrivel and loseflavor and crispness.

Store apples separate-ly from vegetables,because apples natu-rally release smallamounts of ethylenegas that can damagelettuce and other pro-duce.

I will be teaching aprogram on “Apples”at the Erlanger branchof the Kenton CountyLibrary at 7 p.m.Wednesday, Oct. 7. Callthe library to registerat 859-962-4000

Fall is a great time totake soil samples forfertility analyses. Doingit now can allow youplenty of time to followfertility recommenda-tions before plantingseason, and that couldend up saving you timeand money.

When you receive thesoil test results, look atthe recommendations forlime and pH, a measureof soil acidity that af-fects plants’ uptake of allnutrients. If the soil pHis too low, it decreasesthe uptake of essentialnutrients, and elements

likealumi-num andmanga-nese canbecometoxic togrowingplantroots.

Ap-plyinglime-

stone neutralizes soilacidity. Because agricul-tural lime takes about sixmonths to break downand react with the soil,you should apply it in thefall so it will be fully

effective in the spring.Unlike fertilizer, youreally only need limeevery three to five years,depending on your croprotation and nitrogenfertilizer history. Theonly way to determine ifyour fields will needlime next year is by soiltesting this fall.

All the recommendedfertilizers, except nitro-gen, also can be appliedin the fall. Often a fallapplication will save youconsiderable money,because fertilizer pricesgenerally are cheaper inthe fall as a result of

lower demand. In addi-tion to lower fertilizerprices, it’s easier to getthe spreader truck in thefield during the fall be-cause the soil is usuallydrier.

If you don’t soil test,you can only guess at thefertility needs of yourfields, and far too oftenassumptions are wrong.Guessing at the amountof fertilizer to applyoften results in applyingmore than the recom-mended rate. Some pro-ducers want to be sure

Fall is a good time to sample soil
