Through the recentcontroversies, Goode-nough has declined tocomment, citing an exec-utive order Martin issuedlast year that prohibitscity staff from talking tothe media without themayor’s permission.

A group of citizens isplanning a meeting enti-tled Keep Our Police

Chief for 7-9 p.m. Fridayat Madonna Manor com-munity center building,2344 Amsterdam Road,Villa Hills.

Organizer and VillaHills resident Tom Wen-ning said there’s “a smallgroup of us that don’tthink things have beenhappening correctly andfairly in the city, mainlydealingwith thepolice de-partment.”

The meeting, he said,stemmed from an idea tosee whether there areenough people interestedin banding together “to

act as a voice that themayor and council wouldperhaps listen to.”

The city’s regularlyscheduled Safety Com-mittee meeting, plannedfor March 11, was can-celed.

A city council caucusmeeting was schedueldfor Wednesday, March 12,after the paper’s dealine.

High school English and theater

teacherCaitlin Ingramsays it is themusical event of the season. Shewanted to make sure she had ashow everyone knows and enjoysand that would allow her to show-case the talents of her students.

“It just happens to be the 75thanniversary of ‘The Wizard of Oz’(movie), so it’s an iconic year forthe show, but it’s a story that every-body knows, it’s a classic,” Ingramsaid.

According to Ingram, this ver-sion of the musical is the RoyalShakespeare Company’s versionand is“nearlyspoton” to themovie,with the exception an additionalnumber, “The Jitterbug.”

Seeing the production on thestage “gives you a whole new ap-

preciation for thebeautyof themu-sic andbringing it to life andseeingthat interpretation,” she said. “Andthe kidswe have here are amazing.They won’t disappoint.”

Notorgiacomo and the Wizard,senior Fox Purcell, have both par-ticipated in past school produc-tions.

“I’ve taken vocal lessons foryears and I love singing, so that’swhy I went out for it,” Notorgiaco-mo said.

Purcell, however, says he’s notas vocal.

“I don’t sing as much for veryobvious reasons,” he said joking,but he has always enjoyed plays asan outlet “for being someone elsefor a while.”

Notorgiacomo said a play like“TheWizard ofOz” helps break thewinter monotony.

“It’ssobrightandsomusicalandso fun compared to like the drabwinter outside,” she said.

It’s Ingram’s first year at theschool and she said she heard “theschool musical is the big hoopla ofthe year and everybody loves it.”

Junior high and high schoolprincipal Pamela McQueen saidwith a good number of the highschool students in the play, “it real-ly creates a very spirited atmos-phere.”

Purcell and Notorgiacomo ech-oed those sentiments.

“It’s like, basically, the weekleadingup to themusical, everyoneis walking around with the songsstuck in their head,” said Notorgia-como.,

FORTWRIGHT—Twoof the city’seconomicdevelopment tools – a jobincentive program and a tax incre-ment financingdistrict—arenear-ly in place tomake sure companiesknow Fort Wright is open for busi-ness.

At the March 5 City Councilmeeting, council members unani-mously approved a job develop-ment incentive that will reduce oc-cupational license fees for up to 10years for professional, administra-tive, technical or manufacturingcompanies that create or retain atleast 25 jobs and have a minimumof $2.5 million annual payroll.

AccordingtoCityAttorneyTodd

McMurtry, participating compa-nies have two options: to return thewithholdingstoemployeesor toputthemoney in the city’s TIF district.

“There’s roomfora lot of discre-tion in each agreement, whichwould be approved by the mayorand City Council,” said McMurtry.

Although the city’s tax incre-ment financing, or TIF, district isnot completely set up, money thatgoes into the TIFwould be used forimprovements, such as street up-grades or building enhancementsthat would benefit the company.

Mayor Joe Nienaber said the in-centives and the TIF district wouldhelp make the city more attractivefor companies hoping to relocate.

“If we’re fortunate enough tobring in $2.5 million of payroll, it

would be pretty much instantlybeneficial,” he said. “Businessesare looking for this kind of incen-tive to move. The nature of busi-ness todayis that ifyouwant to landa large professional company orlarge payroll contributor, they’recoming with their hand out. Otherpeople are in the game, so eitheryou’re in the game or not.”

Nienaber said the incentives aredesigned to draw businesses here,redevelop blighted properties ordevelop undeveloped properties“which would increase payroll taxor improve property taxes.”

“The timing is important,” saidCouncil member Dave Abeln.

MeganRadenhausen, ofEdgewood, a senior at Cen-tre College, logged 1,300hours at Bluegrass RapeCrisis Center, earned herBRCC’s volunteerismcommitment award.

The crisis center is anonprofit organizationthat aims to provide ref-uge for victims of sexualassault, to advocate forvictims and to educate thecommunity about sexualassault and human traf-ficking. All services of-fered are free of charge,including a 24-hour hot-line.

The award is more thanjust a recognition of sheerhours spent on-call or atthe hospital; it also signalsthe extra commitment Ra-denhausen made in theface of scant volunteerhelp. Rather than allowBluegrass Rape CrisisCenter to suffer from toofew volunteers, Raden-hausen stepped up hercommitment to cover un-filled shifts, as her 1,300hours attest.

Radenhausen has de-voted herself to this or-ganization in large partdue to the people she ishelping.

“My favorite experi-ence is knowing that I’mactually able tomake a dif-ference for these individ-ual’s during an extremelytraumatic experience, es-pecially when they don’thave anyone else to bethere with them,” Raden-hausen said.

“Their strength reallyinspiresme, and I’mgrate-ful to help out in any way Ican.”

The volunteer work hasalso given the psychologyand anthropology/sociolo-gy major invaluable expe-rience in the field.

“I’ve gotten practicalexperience interactingwith different individualswho have recently suf-fered a trauma,” Raden-hausen said. “It’s some-thing you can never learnfrom a textbook. Seeinghow different people copeand being able to lend anykind of support helps melearn ways that I can bemost beneficial to the peo-ple I am helping. This isparticularly useful since Iwant to work with peoplewho have suffered trau-mas or abuse.”

And though she is pro-viding a much-needed ser-vice to the community, Ra-denhausen feels she is theone who has benefittedmost from her service.

“It really humbles andinspires me to witness dif-ferent people’s strength ineverything that they over-come,” she said.

“Working at BRCC hasopened my eyes to prob-lems I didn’t previouslyknow existed, and for thatI will always be thankful.”

Radenhausen is thedaughter of Russ andKathy Radenhausen of Ed-gewood, and is a graduateof Scott High School.

The Dixie Heights HighSchool senior’s final gamewasa54-51loss toHolmes intheNinthRegion boys basketball semifi-nalsMarch9at theBankofKen-tuckyCenter.His last shotwasa3-point miss. Time ran out asplayers fromboth teamsscram-bled for the rebound, and Dixiecouldn’t get off another shot.Twoplayers fromHolmescameout to embrace Hatton at mid-court immediately after thebuzzer, anda tearfulHattonwasconsoled by coaches and team-mates as he left the floor.

Hatton, who will play for Di-vision I University of Vermontnext year, had 25 points and un-officially ended with 3,045 forhis career, themost inNinthRe-gion history.

“Taking that jersey off forthe last time was so hard,” hesaid after the game on his Twit-ter account. “It’s been the best(six) years of my life.”

Hatton scored 26 in Dixie’squarterfinal win over Conner, a61-59 overtime thriller. Henotchedhis 3,000th careerpointon a bank shot in the lane with4:50 to go in the second period.He was fouled on the play, and

hismilestone was announced toapplause before he set up forthe free throw.

Dixie forced overtimeagainst Conner with a blockedshot fromjuniorDrewMooreatthe end of regulation. Moore,better known for running thefootball offense at quarterback,went sky-high to reject a layupfrom Conner senior SamuelHemmerich.

“He just rotated over anddidwhat he needed to do, and thatwas one of the prettiest blocksI’ve ever seen at the high schoollevel,” Chevalier said. “Whenthat happened, I felt the mo-mentum shift back toward us.”

“It got the whole team firedup,” Moore said. “I said let’s go,we’re winning this game.”

The run ran out againstHolmes. Dixie trailed by 15 athalftime but rallied within apointwith under twominutes toplay when Hatton hit a three-pointer.Holmes standout juniorguard James Bolden followedwith an immediate 3-pointer ofhis own. Still, Dixie had the balldown three with 38 seconds togoandcouldn’tget thekeyshotsto fall.

PARK HILLS — While nearlyasyouthful-lookingashis play-ers, Wyatt Foust was oldenough to have fatherly prideof his team after his first sea-son as head coach of the NotreDame Academy basketballsquad.

The 24-year-old Foust en-joyed taking the Pandas to theNinth Region championshipgame, which ended with aheartbreaking 48-46 overtimeloss to Newport Central Catho-lic March 9. NCC guard Mi-chaela Ware scored a driving

layup in the final seconds towin the game and end NDA’sseason.

“They’re a family,” Foustsaid. “Things like this canhurt.These aren’t the type of kidswho turn their backs on eachother. They are kids who willhave each other’s back andfight for each other. They arefriends for life. This is one ofthe better team atmospheresI’ve been around in sports.”

NDA finished 22-9 for theseason, going 15-3 after a 7-6start. One of the losses was toSixth Region champion Butler,ranked third in the state. Ulti-mately, NDA will not return to

the Sweet 16 after finishing asstate runner-up last season.

The final loss was tough toswallow for Foust. Ware’s lay-up was the result of the exactsame set and play-call thatNewCath ran in the All “A”semifinals, a two-point winover Holy Cross Jan 17. Warecurled around a high ball-screen and drove in diagonallyfrom the right side with scor-ing options on either side ofher. As she did against HolyCross, Ware scored at the rim,and Foust saw both of them inperson as he was at the All “A”

“Our crowds wereamazing in the first tworounds and it definitelyhelped our performance,”said Hans. “We wouldmake a play and the ener-gy that came from thecrowdwould feed into an-other play on the defen-sive end. The runs we goon are a direct correlationof our fans.”

Kentucky’s top two postthreats.

“It helps,” Schultsaid. “Their goal is tomake practice harderthan the game. It willhelp you in the long run.Playing against all theseformer college playersreally does help.”

Cov Cath played zonefor the game, and limit-edHolmesto just3-of-27shooting from 3-pointrange. Holmes standoutjunior guard James Bol-den scored15 points andhad two at halftime. He

hit two 3-pointers in thefinal minute as the Bull-dogs pulled within twopoints.

“We knew they had alot of size and athleti-cism,” Schuh said. “Weneeded to make thembeat us from the three-point line. We playedgreat perimeter de-fense, got a hand upearly in everyone’sface.”

Senior point guardNick Ruthsatz had 24points and five assists.Schuh posted eightpoints with his 15boards. Schult had 11points and five re-bounds. Freshmanguard Cole VonHandorf

had five big buckets and11points.CovCathmade11 of 14 two-point fieldgoals in thefirsthalfand17 of 26 for the game.CCHledby12 in thefirsthalf before the Bulldogstied at 33-33. That wasthe score with 3:33 leftin the third period.

“The first thingCoach said in the huddle(after halftime) was‘You know they’re goingto make a run, they’regoing to come back,’”Schuh said. “We’ve beenready for this all year.I’ve been a UK fan allmy life. We’ve alldreamed of going toRupp. Rupp is the per-fect place to play and

we’re happy to be goingdown there.”

A veteran Cov Cathteam will look to makenoise in the Sweet 16.

“That’s the greatthing about having fiveseniors who have madeit with me for threeyears,” said head coachScott Ruthsatz. “Theseguys are dedicated. Wehave worked way toohard to let an opportuni-ty like this get away.Whenyouhaveguys likeNick and Mark, every-body takes from theirleadandtheyhadagreatgame tonight.”

game scouting.“As a coach, you see

it happening,” he said.“You can yell, you canscream, but seeing it asit’s happening,what canyou do? Having seenthat before in a similarsituation against a simi-lar defense, I absolute-ly should have known. Ishould have had us pre-pared for that and Ididn’t, and that’s my

fault. The kids playedtoo hard to let some-thing like that go.”

Senior guard PaigeKellam ledNDAwith20points and senior for-ward Elly Ogle, 12. Oglehad 10 of her points inthe first quarter, andKellam hit several bigshots for the Pandas inthe second half fromthe point-guard slot.

“She understood thegaps, where to attack,which defenders to at-tack.That’swhatmakesher a great pointguard,” Foust said.

“(Ogle) does a great jobreading defenders andunderstanding herlength and athleticism.We preach crashing theglass and running thefloor. Shedidagreat jobreading her opportuni-ties and making themost of them. They dida nice job adjusting andkeeping her off theglass and keeping usout of transition.”

NDA led by as manyas six points in the firsthalf and only trailedonce, briefly, in regula-tion.

“We’d get a little mo-mentumand they’dhit abucket. Every time wefelt we were close tocapturing the game,they got a big bucket,”Foust said. “Our hatsoff to them for answer-ing us.”

Thomas More took overthe top spot in the finalpoll of the regular season,is hosting this sectionalround of the tournament.The Saints open the sec-tional against Texas-TyleronMarch 14.

“We will definitely

miss the home atmos-phere, but all of our roadtravels through PAC playshould help us be pre-pared for the trip toWhit-man,” Hans said. “Thistime of year, we have toworry about executingand making plays.”

With Burgoyne andMoss finishing down lowor getting to the freethrow line, the Saints of-fense appears unstoppa-

ble.Moss iscapableofset-ting a Division III recordwith 63 points in a game,but is content with play-ing a supporting role withher rebounding and de-fense. There is no alphadog in the Thomas Moreoffense, which makesthemnearly impossible todefend.

“Our guards are veryunselfish and we don’tcare who scores, just as

long as Thomas More hasmore points at the end ofthe game,” Hans said.“Getting to the free throwline is the easiest way toscore. We have good postplayers that can score in-side or draw a foul, andour guards will attack tofinish, pass or get to thefree throw line.”

Outsiders see the lop-sided margins of victoryand think that Thomas

More has a special team.Those who know the teamand its players know thatit is their chemistry thatmakes the Saints a specialgroup. There is just some-thing special about thisteam that goes beyond thebox score. They enjoy oneanother’s company on andoff the court. Thatmay bethe edge that gets themthrough the sectional andinto the final four.

“This team is very dif-ferent. They love to playthis game and are excitedto be playing together,”said Hans. “I think thatshows in our ability toshare the basketball theway we do. We love tohave fun, and when westart getting out in transi-tion andmakingplays, thesmiles come out on theirfaces.That iswhenweareat our best.”

Adam Daria scoredseven for Dixie. LiamRabeandAndrewHedgerhad six apiece. Rabeplayed strong defense onBolden during the game,shutting him out for awhile in the second half.

Dixie finished the sea-son 24-8, losing the first

two games of the seaosnto Newport CentralCatholic and CampbellCounty, and forfeiting agame during a holidaytournament.

“We were staring ateach other after the firsttwo games and thinkingit’s going to be a long sea-son,” Chevalier said. “Wekept working and we con-tinued toget betterdefen-sively and putting kids inposition to score and icouldn’t bemore proud ofa group of individuals.”

An answer to Ted Smith:Get your facts first, then youcan distort ‘em as much as youplease.

This is the best response toa letter in the Recorder onFeb. 27. Tea party candidatesdon’t undermine Republicancandidates: They win. So faras the parties go, the tea partyis the life of the party. Thestatistics show that the In-dependent party is now thelargest registered party, atover 40 percent. The Repub-lican party is not one of twomajor parties. It is one of twominority parties, Democratand Republican.

You have to have micro-scopic vision to tell any differ-ence between these two mi-nority parties; something

pointed out byWill Rogers atthe time ofHerbert Hoo-ver. Most In-dependentvoterschanged overfrom beingRepublican.That was be-cause the par-ty was so anx-ious to “win”

that it courted the fringe atthe expense of its core, whichhas a very different vision forAmerica. That vision has notyet been fully articulated, butI can tell you that it is verydifferent from the cronyismso dear to the establishment.Ronald Reagan warned us

about big government ridingour backs.

The Republicans controlthe house, but you wouldn’tknow it. In the Senate they donot even offer effective oppo-sition. The only exceptionseems to be Sen. Rand Paul,who is almost a one-man show.The tea party is here, and it’snot going to go away. The teaparty has managed to connectwith Americans at all levels.Everyone has a right to beheard, and to make their con-cerns known.

I suggest we send somenew people to Washington. Mr.Smith is mistaken to think it is“wacko” to send a bad maninstead of a good one becausehe won’t be minority leaderthe first day. Nothing can be

done to magically solve theproblems Washington hascreated; we need less govern-ment, not more. Washingtonhas been doing too much.What it can do is continue tocreate problems for more andmore people, wreck the econo-my, and sell it to the Chinesefor inflating dollars.

The business of MIT isparticularly laughable. Fraudalert: McConnell claims thatMr. Bevin said he graduatedfrom MIT on his resume.(That was Massie.) Don’t peo-ple have more importantthings to receive notices aboutthan that? Well, it didn’t hap-pen, folks. The alleged resumehas never surfaced. Mr. Bevindoes not send resumes; heaccepts them. He owns 10

companies. Call McConnell’soffice and ask to see a copy ofthe resume; chances arethey’ll get the guys who foundObama’s birth certificate tofake one for you.

Matt Bevin is not a careerpolitician. He talks from theheart. He answers questionsfrom the floor, and doesn’tskirt the difficult ones. Hedoesn’t have any magic, justpractical suggestions aboutknotty problems. You havesome facts; you’re on yourown now if you want to distortthem.

The Senate continued worklast week, and recognized anhistoric event.

OnWednesday, March 5,many lawmakers joined thou-sands of Kentuckians gatheredalong Capitol Avenue to com-memorate the 50th anniversa-ry of the March on Frankfortled by Dr. Martin Luther KingJr. It was a cold and blusteryMarch 5, 1964, when Dr. King,along with 10,000 others,marched up to the front doorof our capital in support of theKentucky Civil Rights Act.

Regarding the work on thefloor, Senate Bill 81 passed ourchamber this week, and gener-ated a lot of discussion. Thebill would define terms regard-ing employment, specifically“contractor,” “person,” “primecontractor” and “subcontrac-tor.” Under the bill, any persondetermined to be independentcontractor is not eligible foremployee benefits or wages. Itwould also allow for an appealprocess to circuit court in thecounty where the person re-sides or where the person has aprincipal office.

Other legislation cleaned uplaw from previous sessions.Senate Bill 83 tightens up alco-holic beverage control law,which received an overhaul in2013. It also reclassifies ciderthat is less that 7 percent alco-hol as a malt beverage. Previ-ously, cider had been classifiedas wine. SB 83 also creates aclass B distillery for micro-distilleries producing up to50,000 gallons per year.

We also took action on youthaccess to e-cigarettes. SenateBill 109 would prohibit the saleof electronic cigarettes to mi-nors. E-cigarettes are some-times marketed as a saferalternative to traditional ciga-

rettes becausethey aresmokeless. Butthey still emita vaporizedform of nico-tine to usersthat is report-edly addictiveand unsafe foryouth.

Two billsregarding theconcealed

carry deadly weapon (CCDW)license process also receivedpassage this week. Senate Bill100 speeds up CCDW licensingby a simple measure; allowingelectronic applications forlicenses and renewals. Thiswill take advantage of moderntechnology and make the li-censing process more effi-cient. The convenience of theelectronic application will costthe applicant $10 more, but ifthe applicant does not want topay that, the paper applicationis available at the current cost.

To address personal protec-tion of those under threat ofviolence, Senate Bill 106 wouldpermit a person protected byan EPO or DVO to be issued atemporary CCDW for the peri-od of the protective order. Abackground check by the statepolice will have to be conduct-ed, and the recipient will haveto receive training within 45days in order for the provision-al to convert to a full CCDWlicense.

THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014

With sponsorship from Dr.Kendall Hansen and Interven-tion Pain Specialists of Crest-view Hills, Turfway Park hasadded the Hansen StarterHandicap to its lineup onHorseshoe Casino CincinnatiSpiral Stakes day, Saturday,March 22.

The 6 1⁄2-furlong HansenStarter Handicap carries a$50,000 purse and iswritten forhorses four years old and upthat started for a claiming riceof $50,000 or less in theyear be-fore this year’s Spiral Stakes.

Nominationsclose March13.

The race isnamed forHansen’seponymoushomebred2011 Breed-ers’ Cup Juve-

nile winner and Eclipse Awardchampion2-year-old –Hansen–now standing in South Korea.The nearly white colt won hisdebut by more than 13 lengthsat Turfway and then romped

again in theBluegrassCatKen-tucky Cup Juvenile by nearly14 lengths, also at Turfway. Inhis next start Hansen set thepace and then gamely held offeventual Belmont Stakes win-ner Union Rags to win theBreeders’ Cup Juvenile by ahead, clinching the champion-ship.

“One of the best traditions inhorse racing is to name a raceafter a special horse. Hansen’suniquely pure white color, hisattractive face, and his domi-nant running style attracted

fans around the world,” saidHansen. “Naming a race atTurfway after Hansen is a per-fect fit, since he won his firsttwo races there in such jaw-dropping fashion. Turfway hasalso been my home track formyracingoperationof30yearsand it’s where I had my bestsuccess when I handicappedfor a living in 1980 and ’81. It’sanhonor tobeable toaddsucharace to the great Spiral day tra-dition. It’s also fun for me thisyear because Hansen’s half-brother Gunderson has won

both his races at Turfway andlikely will run in the race.”

“Dr. Hansen’s sponsorshipaffords us the opportunity notonly to add another stake to oursignaturedayof racingbut alsoto attract high level claiminghorses, which recently havebeen underrepresented in ourprogram,” said Director ofRacing Tyler Picklesimer. “Ad-ditionally, it’s refreshing to seea local businessman and Thor-oughbred owner take an activerole to help strengthen our rac-ing product.”

Turfway Park adds race to Spiral card

“Lexington hadfallen, Frank-fort had fallen,

and the rumor was thatthey were marching onto Newport, Covington,and Cincinnati,” the mansaid.

On the last Thursdaynight in February, everyseat in the meeting roomat the Erlanger branchof the Kenton CountyPublic Library was tak-en, every eye fixed onthe man describingNorthern Kentucky’srole in the Civil War.

It was James A. Ram-age, a history professorat Northern KentuckyUniversity.

The Civil War mu-seum in Fort Wright isnamed after Ramage. In2004, he led the commit-tee to save BatteryHooper, one of the keygun emplacements pro-tecting Cincinnati dur-ing the conflict.

“There are five bat-teries extant today,” hesaid, pointing to a mapon the screen. “They areBattery Combs and Bat-tery Bates in DevouPark, and Battery Hoop-er, which is where wehave our museum, Bat-tery Holt in Wilder, andBattery Shaler in Ever-green Cemetery.”

Battery Hooper rep-resents a time, in Sep-tember of 1862, when thecommunity came togeth-er in a crisis and workedto erect an eight-miledefensive line fromLudlow to Fort Thomas.

“Gen. Lew Wallacewas assigned to com-mand the defense ofNorthern Kentucky andCincinnati,” Ramagesaid. Many years after

the war, Wallace wouldwrite the best-sellingnovel “Ben-Hur.”

“Under the watch-word ‘Citizens for labor,soldiers for battle,’ Wal-lace required everyadult male to fight orwork,” Ramage said.

To help with this ef-fort, Wallace formed theBlack Brigade, markingone of the first timesthat the Union Army useAfrican Americans.

But in order to movemen and supplies intoNorthern Kentucky, abridge was needed asthe suspension bridgewas not yet finished.

So Wallace met withthree local contractorsand asked them to builda pontoon bridge, a tem-porary structure sup-ported by boats. Thecontractors had nevereven seen one but prom-ised that they could do itin 48 hours. “We’ll getcoal barges off the Lick-ing River” they said.

They finished thebridge over the OhioRiver in 30 hours, thenbuilt another one overthe Licking. All the prep-arations were completedin just five days.

Soon Confederatesoldiers marched intoNorthern Kentucky.When they reached Flor-ence, crowds shouted“Hooray for Jeff Davis!”referring to the Confed-erate president. At thetime Boone County waspro-Confederate, whileCampbell and Kentoncounties were pro-Union.

Wallace had pulledtogether a force of22,000 Union troops and50,000 militia. The 8,000

Confederate soldierswho marched into FortMitchell decided thatWallace’s men, and thedefenses they had con-structed, were too muchfor them. There was noattack, and after twotense days they with-drew.

“Gen. Wallace’s can-non at Fort Mitchell, andthe batteries, 15 of them,never fired a shot. Butnow they fired a cele-bration,” Ramage ex-plained.

To end his talk, he

shared this from Wal-lace’s victory proclama-tion:

“In coming timestrangers viewing theworks on the hills ofNewport and Covingtonwill ask, ‘Who built theseentrenchments?’ Youcan answer ‘We builtthem.’ If they ask, ‘Whoguarded them?’ You canreply ‘We helped in thou-sands.’ If they inquirethe result, your answerwill be ‘The enemy cameand looked at them, andstole away in the night.’”

MARCH 13, 2014 • COMMUNITY RECORDER • B3LIFE

Boy, did I learn mylesson this week. Re-member last columnwhen I spoke about sledriding for the “last” timethis year? Well, we allknow what’s happenedsince then: More snow

and moreopportuni-ties to sledride. But Ido thinkwe’re turn-ing thecornertowardspringbecause St.Patrick’sDay is

coming and that meansgetting the garden readyfor planting potatoes(hopefully!). But regard-less of Mother Naturecooperating or not, we’llcelebrate with somecorned beef and cabbageand a cup of this warm-ing potato soup.

Creamy or chunkypotato soup

You can eliminate thebacon and use vegetablebroth if you like. In thatcase, add a bit of butterto the pan to take theplace of the bacon fat.Also, if you don’t likegarlic, just leave it out.

1⁄2 pound bacon, cut up,sautéed and set aside,leaving a couple table-spoons fat in pan.

2 cups onion, choppedAnywhere from1 to 3

teaspoons minced garlic3-4 pounds baking

potatoes, chunked up,peeled or not

6-8 cups chicken orvegetable broth or asneeded

Cream or half-and-

half (optional)Salt and pepper to

tasteGarnish: fresh pars-

ley, sour cream, bacon,shredded cheese (option-al)

Cook onion in baconfat until golden. Addgarlic and cook a minute.Add potatoes and 6 cupsbroth and bring to a boil.Reduce heat and simmeruntil potatoes are tender.Puree soup as desired,either leaving it chunkyor creamy. Add morebroth if needed. Stir in asmuch cream as you like.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Instant cream soupthickener: Add potatoflakes if necessary afteryou puree soup, but becareful, you won’t needmuch if at all, and theythicken it pretty quickly.

Guinness floatI am not a beer drink-

er, but my oh my, I likethis. Maybe it’s the cof-fee ice cream or maybeit’s the frosted mug ormaybe, just maybe, it’sthe beer itself!

First you have to frostthe mug. Run water in-side and out, pour outexcess and immediatelyput in freezer to frost up.Then put scoops of icecream into the mug – andreally your favorite isjust fine here. Vanillatotally works as well ascoffee. Put 2-3 scoops inand pour the Guinnessover. I think it’s the bit-terness of the beer alongwith the sweetness of theice cream that gets me.And if you don’t likeGuinness, I suppose you

could use a stout or what-ever full-flavored beeryou have on hand. Somefolks like to swirl in somechocolate syrup on theice cream before theypour in the beer.

Famous restauranthot artichoke andspinach dip clone

Go to taste on this,adding more, or less ofthe seasonings. A shakeof red pepper flakes inhere would give it a bit of

a kick. Thanks to thereader who wanted toremain anonymous butwho said “this is betterthan any that I’ve had atrestaurants.”

1 8 oz. package creamcheese, softened

1⁄4 cup each: mayon-naise and Parmesancheese

1 large clove garlic,minced or more to taste

3⁄4 teaspoon dry basil114 oz. can artichoke

hearts packed in brine,drained and coarsely

chopped10 oz. frozen chopped

spinach, thawed, verywell drained

11⁄2 to 2 cups mozzarel-la cheese, shredded

Parmesan for garnish(optional)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Blend creamcheese, mayo, Parmesan,garlic and basil. Addartichokes and spinach.Bake in sprayed casse-role for 15-20 minutes.Top with mozzarella andcook about 20 minutes or

until cheese is golden andbubbly. Serve with crack-ers or crudités. If de-sired, sprinkle with moreParmesan.

Thanks to a dearfriend, I had the privi-lege of meeting the Bur-po family last weekend.Now, at first glance youmay think “Who in theworld are the Burpos?”but chances are, many ofyou know them if you’veread “Heaven Is ForReal.”

The little guy (Colton)whom the book was writ-ten about is now14 yearsold and a celebrity in theeyes of my 12-year-olddaughter. (Yes, she gother picture taken withhim, and had her booksigned.)

I joked with mymomthat we had just met myfuture son-in-law, and mymom’s response was,“I’m just glad she likessomeone like him and notJustin Bieber!” Howtrue, I thought. What ablessing for my daughterto meet and be inspiredby someone who has metJesus, and in Colton’s

words“sat onhis lap.”

Theirstory isnothingshort ofmirac-ulous.Whatstruckme themost isthat as

they were telling thestory of their lives 10years ago, I was remi-niscing about mine. Onthe very day the Burpofamily wheeled theirsweet 4 year old into asurgery they were un-sure he would recoverfrom, we whisked oursweet little 2 year oldinto a brand new home.New beginnings for us,as a family across thecountry wondered if thiswas the end for them.

I had a similar experi-ence the afternoon of

Jan. 26, 2009. I was in theKroger store here inIndependence with mymom and sisters. Wewere picking up food totake back to mymom’s,all of us solemn, notspeaking much, just mak-ing decisions robotically.It was difficult to speak,you see, we’d just left thehospital where my broth-er had just passed at 1:16p.m. As I walked aroundthat store, I wondered ifanyone had any idea ofthe pain that we were allin (especially mymom).

In the days and weeksthat lay ahead for myfamily I anguished overmaking trips anywheresomeone might ask mehow I was doing.

If you struggle to walkthrough life today, mightI share a verse with you adear friend shared withme in the months follow-ing the loss of my broth-er, “But may the God ofall grace, who called us

to his eternal glory byChrist Jesus, after youhave suffered a while,will perfect, establish,strengthen and settleyou.” (1 Peter 5:10)

May you be blessed toknow that God is workingto place you on a firmfoundation once again.

“2013 was a year of re-covery formany in our in-dustry,” said BrianMiller,executive vice presidentof the Home Builders As-sociation of NorthernKentucky. “Many of ourbuilders have been expe-riencing a significant im-provement in starts.

Boone County continuesto shine as the fastestgrowing county as con-struction of single familyhomes increased 30 per-cent over 2012. Kentongrewamere3percentandCampbell County con-tinued to lose ground over2012.

“The availability of de-veloped home sites inBoone County is helpinggrowth at the moment.Thereare fewernewcom-munities in Kenton Coun-

ty and Campbell is re-strained by geographicalchallenges and availabil-ity of sanitary sewer ser-vices.

“The value of newhomes has increased onaverage just over 11 per-cent in Northern Ken-tuckywhich is close to thenational average,” Millersaid.

Boone still fastest-growing
