When Jeff Richmondgoes to the public libraryin Fort Thomas, he looksfor discs he can play in hisDVD player at home.Changes in technologymake video stores hard tofind.

People using smart-phones as a primary wayto find information is onereason the CampbellCounty Public Library hasbeen surveying peopleand asking what the li-brary is doing right.

The library also wantsto know what it needs to dobetter, director JC Mor-gan said.

An online and paper

survey and three Sept. 23meetings have given peo-ple a say in creating a newlibrary long-range plan,Morgan said. The deadlinefor taking the survey athttp://bit.ly/CCLib Surveyis Sept. 30.

Richmond said hereads plenty of books, buthe doesn’t often get themat the library. “Usually Ibuy books because I like towrite in them,” he said.

The library struggleswith a perception that theInternet has eliminatedthe need for a library, Mor-gan said.

As a library, the strug-gle is there are people whothink the Internet haseliminated the need for alibrary, Morgan said.

Morgan said he walksthrough the library dailyand sees people readingperiodicals, magazinesand newspapers or using apiece of computer equip-ment either the libraryprovided or they broughtin.

“So all of us as individ-uals are struggling withtechnology,” he said.“We’re trying to figure outhow this little 3 x 4 (inch)piece of plastic is going tofit into our lives.”

People use their phonesto look at Facebook or who

starred in a movie, Mor-gan said. People also usetheir phone to check outbooks and use a new li-brary app to search thecatalog, he said.

“They’re enormouslyhelpful, but they’re alsoenormously intrusive,”Morgan said. “You see par-ents who are not payingany attention to their chil-dren because they’re star-ing at this little 3 by 4(inch) piece of plastic.”

The survey asks peoplewhere the library fits intheir lives now and where

it can go, he said.So far, almost 800 peo-

ple have taken the survey.Most people took the sur-vey online or mailed backtheir responses.

Of the online and paperresponses, 96 percent saidthey were satisfied withthe library’s services,Morgan said.

The library’s SouthBranch project was citedby a majority of the 4 per-cent who were unhappy,Morgan said. In a vote of24,000 to 14,545, CampbellCounty voters rejected aproperty tax increase in2012 to pay for a SouthBranch on land the librarystill owns south of Alexan-dria.

“Of the people who areunhappy, about half ofthem think we should havebuilt the South Branch,”he said.

Another half of thoseunhappy about the li-brary’s direction didn’twant 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,” hesaid.

People want longerweekend hours into theevenings, he said.

The library is continu-ing to focus on book collec-tion improvement andadding more electronicbooks, 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. Roth isalso 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 infor-mation.

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 the phone,”Roth said. “It’s connectedto the Internet.”

TAYLOR MILL — Majes-tic tree houses stretch forthe sky as noble wood spir-its rest beside them in si-lence. A hummingbird col-lects nectar from a floweras a regal Santa standsready to deliver wishes.

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 of theclub for a few years. Bak-er has been fiddling withwood since he was a boy.

“My grandpa used to siton his porch and whittle,”he said. “He’d give us kidsa pocketknife and piece ofwood. He’d make animalsand we’d just be makingmarks on sticks. But it wasfun. Now, I love creatingstuff from nothing. I get abig kick out of seeing peo-ple’s faces light up whenthey see what I’ve made,especially the kids.”

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

His life-sized carvingsof Batman and Chewbac-ca, the creature from“Star Wars,” have won himaccolades. Batman wonfirst place at the KentuckyState Fair this year. Chew-bacca won second place inlast year’s fair.

These and works of oth-er carvers will be on dis-play at the club’s freecarving show 10 a.m. to 4p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, atthe Scheben Library,88999 U.S. 42, Union. Thecarvers will give demon-

strations and have theirwork on display and forsale. Special features willinclude carver KathyOvercash, a whimsicalcottonwood bark carverand two chainsaw carvers,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 includes ages 16 to94, is open to anyone inter-ested in woodcarving orwood burning. Founded in1999, the club coverssouthern Ohio and North-ern Kentucky. The grouphosts seminars and offersa mentoring program thatpairs novice carvers withthose with experience.

“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 whittles an In-dian bust. “Carving be-comes a passion,” Dotsonsaid. “It’s like a drug.When you are creating,you lose track of time andeverything 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 getting

in the spirit of Christmas,working on an ornament.This night he delicatelycarvesa snowman and willend up making a dozenmore holiday ornamentsfor Cincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Center.The club donates orna-ments to the hospital forkids to take home.

“My grandpa whittledand I remember him mak-ing things and giving themto neighbor kids,” he said.“They’d be so excited.That’s how I got into carv-ing. I remembered him do-ing that and decided to jointhe club a few years ago. I

seem to have a little talentfor it. It all starts from ablank piece of wood andyou cut away and you canmake something of it. It’sso relaxing and satisfy-ing.”

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.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS

OCTOBER 1, 2015 • CCF 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.

Stephanie Vogel, M.Ed, MCHES, isdirector of population health,Northern Kentucky Health Depart-ment

StephanieVogelCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

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.

A young Highlands girlssoccer team has relied on thatyouth for a big portion of its of-fense this season.

The youth has contributedto an up-and-down season, saidhead coach Brian Wiefering,but the trend is up after a 3-1win at Notre Dame Sept. 26.NDA has won regional titlesthe past four seasons, andHighlands is looking for itsfirst regional championshipsince beating NDA in the 10thRegion final in 2010.

Highlands won 12 gameslast year for its first double-digit win season since 2010, theBluebirds hope to get thereand more this year.

“I know it means a lot tothem,” said Wiefering. “Itshows them that there’s not ateam in the state that they can’tbeat, but they have to bringthis type of game every time.”

Freshman Lindsey Meyerhad two of the goals, giving hera team-high six.

Freshman Haley Dougher-ty had the other. Junior Kier-

sten Clukey leads the Blue-birds with five assists.

“The girls brought the gamewe needed to bring all yearlong,” Wiefering said. “I’vetold them you are a specialteam. When you look at some of

the losses we’ve had, we out-shoot teams by 10 shots, 15shots. I told them you are bet-ter than what your recordshows, and we showed that to-day.”

The Bluebirds have six sen-

iors in Hayley Crothers, EllieFarley, Lauren Ossege, KylieSchuermann, Madalyn Wiefer-ing and Megan Reynolds. Ju-nior Shannon Eaton has beenthe goalkeeper this year aftergetting some quality time innet last year.”

“It’s always nice to beat thePandas,” Eaton said. “Beatingthem was one of our goals, andgoing into this game we had anOK game on Thursday and nowI feel our confidence has builtup more and we’ll be ready togo on to state.”

Highlands has a tough roadto finish, playing at conferencefoes St. Henry (Oct. 1) andBishop Brossart (Oct. 3) be-fore hosting Simon KentonOct. 5. Beating NDA is a bigboost for the Bluebirds.

“It’s up there among thebest games we’ve played, butwe’ve had losses where weplayed as well but we justdidn’t finish,” Wiefering said.“Finishing is important and wewere able to do that today.”

Fall is known for itsabundance of great, freshfoods, and apples areamong the most popular.

You canprepareapples inmany dif-ferentways andincludethem asingredientsin maincourses,side dishesand des-serts.

Not only are applesgreat additions to anymeal, but they are alsopacked full of nutrients.They are low in calories,fat and sodium, choles-terol free and a greatsource of fiber. Applesalso contain phytochem-icals that may help pre-vent many chronic dis-eases including cancer,heart disease, asthmaand diabetes.

The United States ishome to more than 2,500varieties of apples. Sev-eral of those are grown inKentucky, including RedDelicious, Rome, Wine-sap, Gala, Jonathan, Cort-land and Golden Deli-cious. You can get Ken-tucky-grown apples atorchards, farmers mar-kets and some grocerystores across the state.Look for the KentuckyDepartment of Agricul-ture’s “Kentucky Proud”label when shopping.

When selecting apples,look for firm, crisp and

colorful fruit. Avoid ap-ples with shriveled skins,bruises, worm holes ordecayed spots. Appleslast longer in your refrig-erator, either in the crisp-er drawer or in an un-sealed plastic bag.

You can leave applesout on the counter for afew days, but an exten-sive period of time atroom temperature willcause apples to shriveland lose flavor and crisp-ness. Store apples sep-arately from vegetables,

because apples naturallyrelease small amounts ofethylene gas that candamage lettuce and otherproduce.

I will be teaching aprogram on “Apples” atthe Erlanger branch ofthe Kenton County Li-brary at 7 p.m. Wednes-day, Oct. 7. Call the li-brary to register at 859-962-4000

NEWPORT Travelingeight miles to the nearestgrocery store doesn’tsound too bad, unless peo-ple have to make that tripwithout a car. Many wholive in inner city areas onlimited resources don’thave cars and that makesproviding a fresh, healthymeal a real challenge.

The University of Ken-tucky College of Agricul-ture, Food and Environ-ment and the UK Coopera-tive Extension Servicehave been partnering withagencies in CampbellCounty to help peopleovercome these obstacles.

The Boys & Girls Clubis an after-school and sum-mer program for childrenages 5 through 18. The clubemphasizes graduatingfrom high school, gettingfit for life and being readyto serve others. Coopera-tive Extension believesthat a big part of all ofthese objectives is for kidsto learn to grow and eathealthy fruits and vegeta-bles.

Recently Melissa Pilch-er, nutrition education as-sistant in Campbell Coun-ty, offered a program forchildren in the Boys &Girls Club branch in New-port. She used UK’s Super-star Chef Goes to theFarmers Market curricu-lum for the six-week pro-

gram.“Kids in Newport don’t

have a lot of opportunity toget fresh fruits and vege-tables where they live,”she said. “There have beena lot of community gardenprojects going on in thecity, so I wanted to incor-porate the Ann Street Gar-den as a way of showingthe kids that their foodcomes from the earth.”

Pilcher led the studentson a walk to the Ann StreetCommunity Garden wherethey were able to see 96fruit and vegetable plots,meet one of the gardenersand harvest a few items.

Campbell County Ex-tension’s horticulture pro-gram assistant Sarah Stolztalked with the studentsabout what kinds of cropsthey saw, composting andharvesting food.

Stolz explained howmuch heirloom tomatoessold for in the store andthen compared the cost toa package of heirloom to-mato seeds to show the stu-dents how much moneythey could save by plant-ing tomatoes.

After the garden out-ing, Pilcher took the stu-dents back to the Boys &Girls Club and set up a sal-sa bar with fresh tomatoes,corn, onions, cilantro,black beans, green chilisand even a little hot sauceand cumin. Many of thestudents were brave andmixed all the ingredients

together, while otherstried a few things.

“It does my heart goodto see kids try things forthe first time and reallylike them. Our ultimategoal is that they develop ataste for these kinds offoods,” she said. “We’d likefor them to give up pre-packaged, processedfoods in favor of freshfruits and vegetables.”

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 recommendationsfor lime and pH, a mea-sure of soil acidity thataffects plants’ uptake ofall nutrients. If the soilpH is too low, it de-

creasesthe up-take ofessentialnutri-ents, andelementslike alu-minumand man-ganesecan be-cometoxic to

growing plant roots.Applying limestone

neutralizes soil acidity.Because agricultural

lime takes about sixmonths to break downand react with the soil,you should apply it inthe fall so it will be fullyeffective in the spring.Unlike fertilizer, youreally only need limeevery three to fiveyears, depending onyour crop rotation andnitrogen fertilizer histo-ry. The only way to de-termine if your fieldswill need lime next yearis by soil testing thisfall.

All the recommended

fertilizers, 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 oflower demand. In addi-tion to lower fertilizerprices, it’s easier to getthe spreader truck inthe field during the fallbecause the soil is usu-ally drier.

If you don’t soil test,you can only guess atthe fertility needs of

your fields, and far toooften assumptions arewrong.

Guessing at theamount of fertilizer toapply often results inapplying more than therecommended rate.Some producers want tobe sure there’s plenty offertilizer available incase they have a bumpercrop next season.

However, studieshave shown that cropsneed the same amountof fertilizer in a goodyear as in a poor year.

If you’re interested incollecting fall soil sam-ples, contact the Camp-bell County CooperativeExtension office at 859-572-2600.

We can give you de-tails on how to take ac-curate soil samples andwhat to do with the col-lected cores.

Many of us do not havetime to grow a large flow-er garden. We can man-age planting a large flow-er pot for the back patioor front porch.

Here are a few tips tocreate the best display.

Select plants of dif-fering heights. Whenselecting plants at thegarden store, keep inmind you want to chooseplants that are a Thriller,a Filler and a Spiller.

Selectone tallplant forthe cen-ter of thecontainer(theThriller).If youare plac-ing thiscontaineragainst awall, you

may choose to place the

Thriller towards one sideof the container.

Select three or fourmedium height floweringplants for around thecenter plant (the Filler).Lastly, add three or foursmaller plants for theoutside edge that willgrow over the sides of thecontainer (the Spiller).

Select a large flowerpot with a drainage holein the bottom. Add gravelto cover the bottom of the

pot to allow for drainage.Fill the container withpotting soil. Allow a 3-inch space from the soilto the top of the rim. Al-low the potted plantsyou’ve selected to sit in abucket of water so theyare properly hydratedbefore planting.

Un-pot the plants andloosen the root balls.Arrange the plants in thecontainer placing thetallest plant in the center,

the medium height plantsaround the center plantand add the smallerplants along the outsideedge. Add slow-releaseplant food pellets to thesoil and water the con-tainer well. Check the soilfor dryness, before water-ing again.

Enjoy creating yourown container garden.
