Villa Hills to seek trail input
By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

The Villa Hills City Council is looking for public input on the proposed nature trails behind the Villa Hills Civic Club. The city has until Feb. 25 to apply for a federal grant that would cover half of the estimated $110,000 project, which includes two walking trails and a bike trail. Under the grant regulations, the city could contribute its half in labor, equipment and volunteer time, rather than providing a cash match. “I think it’s something most
people are in favor of, but they just have some financial concerns,” said Councilman Steve Ruebusch. “That’s why we want to give the public a chance to voice their opinions before we make our final decision.” In order to apply for the grant, the council would need to pass a resolution supporting the grant, which they would need to do at their Feb. 17 meeting in order to meet the grant deadline. “The resolution is just the first step to show that we’re interested in moving ahead,” said city attorney Michael Duncan at the Jan. 20 council meeting.
The plans call for the bike trail to be composed of natural terrain and would cover approximately three-fourths of a mile, while the two blacktop walking trails would be about a half-mile each, with one connecting through Valley Trails and the other encompassing the lake. “I think it’s something that would be a definite benefit to the community,” said Mayor Mike Sadouskas, who said that the city could even partner with the Civic Club for some fundraising efforts to help offset their portion. Ruebusch said that if the city applies for the grant, they should
know if they were approved by early fall, and could begin potentially begin work right away. “It’s still kind of early to look that far ahead because we’re just scratching the surface, but I hope we can get this going,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a great thing for out city.” The council will devote part of their regularly-scheduled Feb. 17 meeting to gathering public comments on the trails. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m., and will be held in the council chambers at 719 Rogers Road. For more information, contact the city at 341-1515.

Fort Wright club to award scholarships By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Fort Wright’s Lookout Heights Civic Club is offering two $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors. “I think it’s a program that’s just going to grow and grow and grow,” said Scott McDaniel, member of the civic club. “The civic club is working very hard to get back to its roots, which were being a support for the community.”
Crank up your car-buying knowledge.
The students must be Fort Wright residents and are required to submit their high school transcripts, a list of in-school and extracurricular activities, information about their interests and activities in the community and a 200-word essay telling the civic association about themselves. “We’re just interested in hearing what they would like to do and why,” McDaniel said. While a student can use the scholarship toward any career, the funds must go to a post-secondary
institution, McDaniel said. The scholarship application due date is April 1 with a decision likely to be made by May 1, McDaniel said. “Our goal is to help everyone in the community as much as possible,” he said. The civic club has been working to set up the scholarship for a few years now, McDaniel said, and “the club has embraced it tremendously.” The scholarship funds have been raised at yearly golf outings and other civic club
events, he said. “We hope next year to give three or four scholarships away,” he said. McDaniel presented information about the scholarships to Fort Wright City Council, Feb. 3. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Mayor Joe Nienaber. “I think it’s great there’s an active civic club over there.” Students can get more information about how to apply at lookoutheights.com or by calling 3314278.

Local author’s new book believes in romance By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
At the age of 14, Christina Schneider wrote the tale of a divorced couple finding love again. More than 10 years later, her book has hit the shelves. “I’ve been writing since high school,” said the Crescent Springs resident. “I wrote this my freshman year in high school. It took me a long time to get it perfected.” Schneider’s book, “Final Chance,” published by Oklahoma-based Tate Publishing, was released for sale at major booksellers in December. “They’ve been divorced about seven years. He’s a distant guy – he tries to be a part of their lives, but he fades in and fades out,” Schneider said. But then a near-fatal accident changes his outlook: “He realizes he was stupid and he has to figure out a way to get back into that family.” Now that her book has been released, Schneider said she’s already heard positive feedback from fans. “Oh my God, that sent my self-esteem through the roof,” she laughed. “It just makes me happier and happier every day.”

Crescent Springs resident and Dixie Heights High School graduate Christina M. Schneider, 26, is the author of the recently released “Final Chance,” a novel about a couple whose divorce is re-considered after a near-fatal accident. “Final Chance” can be found at all local booksellers. And though “Final Chance” is Schneider’s oldest book, it’s not her only one – she has three finished
manuscripts she hopes to publish in the future. “I would love to write full time one day,” said Schnei-

Schneider, a selfdescribed “hopeless romantic,” said most of her novels
so far do focus on true love, which she maintains is real: “It happens,” she said. “Just when you don’t think it’s going to happen, it does.” The 26-year-old had never really thought of herself as a writer, but when she finished “Final Chance,” she decided to take one herself and send it in to Tate. “I was just shaking,” Schneider said of when she heard the news. “Only two or three percent of their manuscripts a year are accepted - my first try I was able to get in. It blew my mind.” The acceptance also surprised Schneider’s family: not because her writing was so good, but because they had no clue she was writing seriously at all. “She never showed us anything,” said grandmother Mary Schneider, but she’s confident “Final Chance” isn’t a fluke: “I don’t think it’s just something she’s going to do one time.” Locals can get a gander at Schneider and her book at a signing March 14 at the Borders in Eastgate. Schneider said she’s looking forward to meeting her fans and is practicing her signature for the occasion: “I”ve got to make it clear at least for the first year,” Schenider joked.

Boone County wants own cable franchise By Paul McKibben and Regan Coomer pmckibben@nky.com and rcoomer@nky.com
Boone County has again begun the legislative process of withdrawing from the Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky, allowing the county to manage its own cable television franchise. The Boone County Fiscal Court had a first reading of an ordinance Feb. 2 that would end its TBNK membership effective June 30, 2011. That’s a year later than when the county had initially planned to leave. But the county lost a lawsuit in Boone Circuit Court against TBNK that effectively pushed back the withdrawal date. The Fiscal Court first voted unanimously to withdraw from TBNK in November 2008. County Administrator Jeff Earlywine said there were a series of meetings with TBNK and there was a differing opinion that related to the
county’s terms of separation. The county filed suit in Boone Circuit Court in July 2009 to withdraw its membership and receive a proportional share of TBNK’s assets. Judge J.R. Schrand ruled in favor of TBNK last December. “Nothing has changed in terms of the policy decision of the (Fiscal) Court,” Earlywine said. TBNK consists of unincorporated Kenton County, unincorporated Boone County and 15 Kenton County cities. TBNK runs a cable television franchise with Insight Communications Co. and Cincinnati Bell Inc. TBNK offers local programming, too. TBNK Director Tim Broering said the suit was centered on Boone County trying to use an option that was only available for a short time in between the ending of the old interlocal agreement that created TBNK and the current one, which was created in 1997. “When they all got together they decided if someone were to leave down the road, it’s not fair
to pull out the rug from under everyone else. They invested in good faith together and developed the good services and programming that we offer,” he said. When the previous board was dissolved, members were given the option of taking assets with them because “everyone would have been leaving at the same time,” Broering said. “You could have taken your assets and not participated in this board. Once you participated and were working together and moving forward, that was not going to be allowed.”
Local programming
If the county leaves TBNK, Boone will have to provide its own local programming and manage its own cable television franchise starting July 1, 2011. Earlywine said the county could form partnerships with individuals, companies, maybe a local university or some combination to help provide the community
access programming and some of the other community activities the county thinks will be of interest to cable subscribers in Boone County. Earlywine said there might be the potential to partner with Florence, Union and Walton, which are also independent cable television franchisers. He said as the county moves ahead, it will finalize those specific plans and bring them back to Fiscal Court at a later date. “At this point we don’t have a definitive cost because we’ve not really focused on a specific option. We’ve still got several options on the table,” he said in response to a question from Commissioner Cathy Flaig. “It would be fair to state, commissioner, that the staff is still very confident that we will be able to administer our own cable TV franchise for less than the fees that we pay annually to TBNK.” However, Broering said the likelihood of Boone County running its own cable television fran-
chise and providing local programming for less than it would have paid TBNK is very small. “If they’re going to do it cheaper they’re not going to do it as well,” he said. “Doing it on your own is not as cost-effective.” And even though it looks official Boone County will leave TBNK soon, Broering said he will work with them going forward and perhaps change the county’s mind. “We really think this is a regional effort among all of our communities. It’s a shame somebody is stepping away from regionalism, especially a board that has been doing this for some 30-odd years and is one of the first examples of regionalism in Northern Kentucky,” Broering said. The Fiscal Court is scheduled to vote on the ordinance when it meets at 5:30 p.m. March 2 in the Boone County Administration Building, Burlington.
Online program provides help with cancer challenges
City business
Dealing with cancer can be difficult for patients and their loved ones. However, an American Cancer Society program is helping people with cancer and those close to them learn more about their diagnosis. I Can Cope, available online, is a series of classes that provide patients and their loved ones with practical help in coping with some of the emotional and physical challenges of cancer. The American Cancer Society's I Can Cope program provides relevant knowledge and enhanced skills on various aspects of

a cancer diagnosis. “Offering an online cancer coping program helps us meet the needs of cancer patients who may be too sick to attend a support group or other education program,” said Lisa Meier, health initiatives representative with the Northern Kentucky American Cancer Society office. “Patients and their loved ones can review the information at their own pace in the comfort of their homes. It's very user-friendly,” she said. Offering online help is important given the increasing number of people using
the Internet to search for medical facts, added Meier. According to a Pew/ Internet and American Life Project survey, eight in 10 Internet users go online for health information. The study also estimates that on a typical day, eight million American adults are seeking the same type of information. I Can Cope topics range from managing side effects to dealing with self-esteem. The program is free of charge. For more information about I Can Cope, call 1800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org /onlinearticles.

Dixie project will be students’ legacy
By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Her class wasn’t too far into their most recent project when Dixie Heights teacher Jennifer Baldwin realized she had encountered a bit of a dilemma. “We had kids who were asking if they could just take their projects home when they were done, not even realizing that it was all going to be part of the entire picture,” recalled Baldwin, smiling. “I guess it was a good problem to have though, because it meant the kids were enjoying what they were doing and were pleased with their results.” The project, however, wasn’t just a typical assignment for the kids, mostly sophomores and juniors. Working with Artist-in-Residence Debbie Brode through the Cincinnati Arts Association, students created a sculpture full of inspirational messages that will adorn the wall of the school’s cafeteria. “It’s kind of like a legacy for us,” said junior Ashley Hennessey. “We can look at that and know that we’ve left our mark on the school, even when we’re gone.” Brode began working with the students in early January, having them experiment with painting on

at J.D. Patton Area Technical Center, the students wrote inspirational messages on the wood scraps, decorating them with an
array of colors and designs. Brode then compiled all of the projects together, creating a colorful, can’t-miss sculpture.
“I think they kids enjoyed this, because they were able to express themselves a little,” said Brode. “They had a lot of freedom with this, and they were able to create some really terrific projects.” Baldwin said some of the students drew on inspirational phrases from Assistant Principal Larry Tibbs’ daily announcements, while others just transcribed words that have special meaning to them. Among the phrases found on the sculpture are “You’ll never discover new oceans if you never leave the shore”, and “Some mistakes are too fun to only make once”. “It was fun doing this, because we could do it how we wanted to,” said sophomore Alec Gaukel. “It will be neat to walk in the cafeteria and know that we did that, and that everyone will be able to see our work.” Baldwin and Brode both said they were impressed by the students’ efforts on the project, and said they should be proud of themselves. “I told them that what they did could still be hanging here when they come in with their children or even grandchildren one day,” said Baldwin. “So I think they really embraced the project, and they did a terrific job with it.”

RECORDER
By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Super Bowl Sunday was a grand slam for Ellen Williamson. The Notre Dame Academy junior won four regional championships Feb. 7 at the Region 4 swimming and diving meet at Scott High School. All four of those wins came in regional record time. Because of weekend snow, the meet was pushed back to Sunday, ending its final races while the football championship game was starting its first drives. “I’m ready for state,” she said. “It’s fun to win regionals, but we really want to be our best at state.” Williamson, the 2009 state champion in the 100 butterfly, won that event in 55.67 seconds, breaking her own regional record. In the 200 individual medley, she saw 2:04.10 to beat a 16-year old record. She swam the butterfly in NDA’s 200 medley relay team that notched a 1:49.21 to beat their record from last year. Caitlyn Forman, Natalie Lawson and Molly Hinken were in the relay as well. The Pandas won the 200 freestyle relay, too, in 1:39.82 with Hinken, Tully Bradford and Mackenzie Margroum, shattering a mark they set in preliminaries. Forman added a record of her own in impressive fashion, winning the 100 backstroke in 55.18 to beat defending state Krissie Brandenburg of Beechwood. “That speaks volumes for how good of a team we have this year,” said NDA head coach Emily Maier of

I’m so impressed and so excited for what we’re going to do next week. This is not the end for us by any means.” The state meet is Feb. 12-13 at the University of Louisville. Hinken also claimed the maximum four wins with a pair of individual championships. She won the 200
free and the 500 free. Notre Dame also won the 400 freestyle relay. Hinken is excited about making her state debut this weekend. “I feel happy. I worked hard for it,” Hinken said. “I love my teammates and our coaches. It’s always fun at practice. I wish I could have watched the Super Bowl, but today was fine.” Said Maier: “For a freshman to win twice at a meet like this is awesome. She is

NDA had two runnerup finishes with Forman in the 50 free and Carly Scheper. The top two in each event automatically qualify for state, plus the next best 14 times in the state.

Walsh was also on both freestyle relay champions. “Just being a senior and my last regional, I gave everything I had,” he said. “I left it in the pool. I was dying but I just held on long enough.” The team title was in doubt with three events to go. Beechwood had a 32point lead, but the Colonels had a lot more finalists down the stretch than the Tigers, including three of the top four finishers in the backstroke.

Amaryllis a gift for many seasons, many years Question: I got an amaryllis “bulb growing kit” for Christmas, but I never planted it. Is it too late? Answer: As long as the bulb did not freeze in your garage, it will be fine to go ahead and plant it now. Few plants can liven up a winter day like the amaryllis. The large pink, white, red, orange and variegated flowers are truly spectacular. A member of the lily family, the amaryllis rises from a large bulb. The growth habit makes it well suited for blooming during Valentine’s Day, Easter and even Christmas. Knowing about its natural habitat in Central and South America will help you successfully grow and flower an amaryllis at home. The plants are adapted to
ecosystems with a long, moist growing season, followed by a shorter dry season. At the beginning of the season, Mike Klahr rainy the bulb sends Community forth foliage Recorder and flowers. Although the guest flowers columnist only for twolast to three weeks, the foliage grows throughout the moist season during which time new flower buds form within the bulb. It goes dormant during the dry season, but resumes growth and flowers when the rainy season begins.
When you buy an amaryllis, it likely will be a dormant bulb. If so, pot the bulb about six to 12 weeks before you want the plant to bloom. Use a container with a diameter just slightly larger than the bulb and a potting mix that promotes good drainage. One-third to one-half the pointed end of the bulb should remain above the soil. Thoroughly water and put the pot in a bright, warm window. Water when the soil becomes dry to the touch, but do not give it too much water because this will cause the bulb to rot. Never allow water to accumulate in the saucer beneath the pot. In a few weeks, a flower stalk should emerge, usually before the foliage develops. Rotate the container every few
days to keep the flower and foliage from leaning too much toward the light. You may need to stake the flower stalk to keep it upright in a low-light situation. When the bloom is spent, remove the wilted flowers and cut the flower stalk back to the top of the bulb. Do not remove any foliage because the green leaves continue to provide energy for the next season’s flowers. Fertilize it every couple of weeks to promote healthy foliage. If you want to keep the amaryllis and get it to bloom again next year, give the plant as much light as possible after it flowers. It will help to move the plant outdoors when the danger of frost is over, generally around midMay. Gradually acclimate the
plant to brighter light by first putting it under a tree or awning; then moving it to brighter light every few days until the plant is in full sun. When summer is over, keep the plant in a sunny location, but withhold water. As the foliage begins to die, move the pot to a cool, dry location such as a basement or closet. In the winter, repot the bulb to a new container, again only a few inches larger than the bulb’s diameter. As an amaryllis bulb becomes larger, it may produce two or even three flower spikes during the blooming period. You will be able to enjoy your gift amaryllis for many years! Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.
CH@TROOM Last week’s question
What is the best thing the president and Congress can do to reduce unemployment? “Give substantial tax cuts to existing and start-up businesses to free up capital to expand and hire more workers. Any jobs given by the government will either be a temporary fix or, worse, will be a permanent growth of government requiring more and more taxes from businesses and individuals, which will, in turn, stunt economic growth even further...a vicious cycle. Jobs provided by existing private businesses and individuals starting new businesses have a greater chance of being long lasting and economy-boosting.” J.K.T. “Cut taxes and get the government out of private business.” M.C. “Remove barriers to employment imposed by federal regulation. Provide tax breaks for businesses to expand their employee base.” G.G. “The best thing the president can do to reduce unemployment is to resign. His radical policies are job-killers. The incompetence of this president and his administration is staggering. They don’t

Reduce payroll taxes, which will enable employers to invest in both their businesses and employ new workers. Not to mention dropping both universal health care, along with the ‘cap and tax’ referendums, which will just continue the downhill spiral of unemployment. By bringing back conservative Reaganism ideals, our economy will begin to flourish once again.” Steve Froehle, Burlington “How do we reduce unemployment?

Let’s try common sense when facing our challenges On Jan. 27, President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union Address. As he discussed critical issues like job creation, the economy, health care and energy, the president said, “Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it’s time to try something new … Let’s try common sense.” I could not agree more. Reviving our economy and fostering job creation is the most important challenge we must overcome this year. Kentuckians have struggled with double-digit unemployment rates since May 2009. Across the country, 3.5 million net jobs have been lost since the so-called stimulus legislation was signed into law last February. These facts alone illustrate that the Democratic majority’s strategy of bigger government, unsustainable spending
and higher debt has failed to address the central problems in our economy. It is time to try something new. We must enact fiscally responsible policies that will increase our competitiveness and reward entrepreneurship and ingenuity. That is why I support targeted tax relief and streamlined regulations to help grow Kentucky’s small businesses, improve their ability to create local jobs, and put money back into the hands of those who can use it directly to support their families and stimulate our economy. Enacting a comprehensive energy policy that takes advantage of our domestic energy resources is one of the best things we can do to foster economic
U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis Community Recorder guest columnist
growth and create jobs. For years, Republicans have advocated for safe, clean nuclear power plants, encouraged offshore drilling and fought for the expansion of clean coal technologies. I was pleased that President Obama discussed employing American innovation to develop a variety of our nation’s energy resources. However, I am vehemently opposed to the “cap and trade” climate change legislation passed by the House last summer. We must take steps to preserve our environment for future generations, but we must do so without creating new hurdles for families, small businesses and communities across America. Imposing a “cap and trade” program amounts to a national energy tax, and that is dangerous economic policy that we cannot afford. Instead, we must work together to create a common sense plan
that will allow us to responsibly develop our energy resources, reduce consumption, end our overreliance on foreign oil and bring new energy jobs to our economy. In this time of economic instability, Congress must re-examine all legislative priorities to ensure they will not restrict growth, raise the cost of doing business with the U.S. or pile more debt onto future generations. It is with this in mind that we must start over on health care reform and craft new legislation that will fix what is broken in our health care system, reduce cost and increase access to health insurance. House Republicans introduced the Common Sense Health Reform and Affordability Act (H.R. 4038), a responsible approach to health care reform that would reduce costs for all Americans, increase access to
health care coverage and save the taxpayers’ money. Unfortunately, our bill was rejected along party lines in November. I remain convinced that we can use the framework in H.R. 4038 to craft important and meaningful health care reform that satisfies the demands of the people. During his address, President Obama urged Democrats and Republicans to come together for the American people. He said, “We were sent here to serve our citizens, not our ambitions. So let’s show the American people that we can do it together.” Republicans remain ready to heed the president’s call and reach across the aisle to craft responsible, common sense legislation that will address our nation’s greatest challenges. U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Hebron, is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

It’s getting better each week.” 314 Cafe has eight televisions. “We’re not trying to be a sports bar per se but it looks like during basketball season you can’t help but promote wings and stuff for UK basketball,” he said. Deitz still plans to open the Tully’s Tavern restaurant at Old Union Road and U.S. 42 in Union. But he said he is looking for a partner. Deitz said Tully’s Tavern would be Scottish theme but it would still be American fare with a touch of Scottish fare.

We should be wondering as we wander Why are there so many vivacious children and so many dull adults? Why? Because we live in a world that does not encourage awe and wonder. As a child we were in a constant state of wonder. Each day we were like guests at a smorgasbord. We were constantly touching, tasting, looking and marveling at interesting objects and sounds. Sometimes there were even things that escalated wonder into awe. But gradually wonder and awe gets squeezed out of us. To wonder means to recognize that we were in the presence of mystery. But we have lowered the ceiling to avoid acknowledging anything beyond. And as we become more competent and gain mastery over ourselves and the things around us, wonder diminishes. But might we not ask, “Can’t our competence lead us to more wonder?” The earliest philosophers recognized that philosophy itself
begins with wonder. And if philosophy is authentic, it will end there too. Rabbi Abraham Heschel noted that the worst of sins is to take life for granted. Children have not learned to commit that sin. True poets and mystics fight against committing it. Yet we say, “Been there, done that.” How did we slay wonder? The former director of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, scientist William G. Pollard, says a chief characteristic of 18th- and 19th-century science was a sense of demolishing mystery. Nature’s secrets were being unlocked and hopes arose that eventually one great formula would be found to explain everything. “But,” he added, “the great scientists of our century underscore the openness of science. … We find the reintroduction of mystery at a very profound and deep level.” If we are, instead, seduced by the powers of science it leads us to pay attention to only a part of
Gradually wonder and awe gets squeezed out of us. To wonder means to recognize that we were in the presence of mystery. But we have lowered the ceiling to avoid acknowledging anything beyond. And as we become more competent and gain mastery over ourselves and the things around us, wonder diminishes. reality – the functional or classifiable part. But we are more than functional and classifiable. We are unique individuals and deeply mysterious. People who are alienated from mystery and wonder are alienated from themselves. If we are oblivious to mystery we diminish ourselves. To try and regain a sense of wonder and awe, Chesterton said that we have to look at familiar things until they become strange. In that same manner, author Joseph Gallagher notes, “Really looking, really listening, really paying attention: these are skills which are seemingly a natural part of childhood, probably because a child hasn’t grown ‘practical’ enough to limit his gaze
to what is functional about a thing. ... Such an attentiveness requires an exercise of reverence toward reality, an openness, a zone of interior silence where static won’t jam out the messages of meaning emitted by things.” We work against ourselves when we create our own static that overpowers wonder and mystery. Don’t we mistake an intensely busy life with a meaningfully connected one? Eugene H. Peterson writes, “The workplace is where this diminishing of wonder goes on most consistently and thoroughly... information and competence are key values here... We don’t want to waste time by staring at something. And in his book ‘Awe,’ Paul Pearsall Ph. D. says
that our brain “...is more interested in its usual fixation on the Fs of fighting, fleeing, feeding or fornicating.” We must seek, and allow, Father Lou wonder to touch Guntzelman our lives else we atrophy. Perspectives I appreciate the sense of wonder expressed by poet Elizabeth Michael Boyle:
“Who am I?”
I am a child of the universe a woman of earth a creature of God. I stand in awe of the ever expanding universe birthing a nursery of galaxies, compressing the weight of a billion stars the size of our sun into a minute black hole the size of my thumb.” There is not a shortage of opportunities for our wonderment and awe.

Make a little whoopee (pie) Valentine’s Day
What’s the first word that comes to mind when someone mentions Valent i n e ’ s Day? For me, it’s chocolate. And, really, it’s not a bad Rita t h i n g Heikenfeld s i n c e Rita’s kitchen chocolate contains lots of good things, like antioxidants. Now I will admit the recipe I’m sharing today probably cancels out most of the good nutrition, but after all, it is Valentine’s Day and these are worth every calorie.
Chocolate gobs/mini chocolate whoopee pies
Don’t be fooled by the name – these are like mini chocolate whoopee pies (that’s why I added the name to the title) and would be so much fun for the kids to help make. From colleague and country girl Janice Mehallick, a West Chester reader who said, “We make these and call them chocolate

Maribelle’s sweet and sour chicken soup
Reader Sandy Keiser couldn’t believe her luck when Maribelle’s Tavern (2062 Riverside Drive in the historic East End of Cincinnati, 513-861-2484) agreed to share this recipe. Sandy said it was a “Spicy Thai chicken soup with vegetables; mmmm good!” I couldn’t believe my luck, either, when Chef
Mike Florea responded so quickly. He said, “This recipe is from Chris Florea, my brother and a cook in our kitchen. Chris is also responsible for our delicious brunch menu on Sundays.” Soups, surf or turf specials vary daily and all the food is fresh and made to order. I can tell you myself that it’s a fun place to go and next time we stop in, I’m getting this soup! Check them out at maribellestavern.com for more information. (I found Mae Ploy chili sauce at Kroger in a smaller bottle. I use it for all sorts of things – it’s sweet but very hot/spicy, as well.) This is a big batch soup, so would be perfect for entertaining.
3 large yellow onions, julienned 2 tablespoons garlic, minced 1 cup chipotle peppers in adobo, pureed 1 bunch asparagus, sliced 3 carrots, shredded 3 cups smoked bacon, chopped 1 gallon chicken stock or good quality broth 2 cups Chablis wine 25 oz bottle sweet chili sauce (like Mae Ploy) 1 ⁄2 cup sesame seeds

Add garlic, chipotle, bacon, asparagus and carrots. Cook for approximately 20 minutes on low heat. Deglaze with wine. Make sure to scrape bottom to get all the bacon and onion drippings. Add c h i c k e n stock. Bring to a boil and add the bottle of sweet chili sauce. Reduce heat so soup is at a simmer. Add the chicken and sesame seeds. Let simmer for 30 minutes.

History unearthed: archaeology speaks B e h r i n g e r- C r a w f o r d Museum’s newest exhibit, “History Unearthed: Archaeology Speaks,” explores the world of archaeology through photography, actual dig-site information and hands-on activities including an actual staged indoor “dig.” Catering to all age levels, there will be an archaeology scavenger hunt and puzzle game to keep even the
youngest visitors engaged. This exhibit will explore the archaeological work conducted by the museum, including digs by the museum’s first curator Ellis Crawford. It will also illustrate the importance of historic preservation while articulating the field’s best practices and techniques. Artifacts from the museum’s collection that have not been on exhibit in recent years will
be on display for visitors to “discover” again. The exhibit will also feature various forms of archaeology and ideas of how you can be an archaeologist in your own backyard – without digging up the flower garden. The exhibit runs until June 6. For more information on this exhibit or any other activity, please contact the museum at (859) 4914003 or info@bcmuseum.org

Kohl’s wants kids to give back Marking the 10th anniversary of its Kohl’s Kids Who Care® Scholarship Program, Kohl’s Department Stores will award more than $410,000 in scholarships and prizes, ranging from $50 Kohl’s gift cards to ten $10,000 scholarships, recognizing youths who make a difference by volunteering in their communities. Nominations for kids ages six to 18 will be accepted Feb. 1 – March 15 at kohlskids.com. Kohl’s continues its scholarship program and will double national scholarship amounts to $10,000 each during a time when rising tuition costs, tightening credit and less financial aid availability makes footing the average $60,000 bill for a four-year degree increasingly difficult. “Over the past ten years of the Kohl’s Kids Who Care Scholarship Program, we’ve been truly encouraged and touched by the selfless and inspirational acts of thou-

Nominators must be 21 years or older. Two nominees from each of Kohl’s 1,059 stores nationwide will win a $50 Kohl’s gift card, and more than 190 of them will win regional scholarships worth $1,000 toward post-secondary education.

N. Kentucky Water District elects new board positions The Northern Kentucky Water District has completed its annual election of officers on its Board. During its regular Board meeting on Jan. 20 a total of four positions on the Northern Kentucky Water District Board of commissioners were up for re-election. Drew Collins, previously the Board Vice-Chair, was elected as the new Chairman of the Board for a oneyear term. Mr. Collins was first appointed to the NKWD Board by the Kenton County Fiscal Court in October of 2003. Mr. Collins also serves as Senior Vice President for The Bank of Kentucky. “I'm pleased to accept the role of Chairman,” states Collins. “Under Commissioner Macke's leadership, this Board has accomplished a great deal. I look forward to continuing to help the District excel.” Effective Jan. 21, Fred Macke, Jr. turned his Chairman of the Board position over to Drew Collins, since Macke's term limit of two consecutive terms as Chairman has expired. Mr. Macke
replaces Drew Collins as Vice-Chair. Mr. Wagner was appointed to the Board in July of 2002 and is the owner and operator of Weber Dental Laboratory, Inc. in Fort Thomas. Joe Koester was elected Treasurer of the Board. Appointed to the Board in September of 1999, he has served on the NKWD Board of Commissioners for the past eleven years. Mr. Koester is president of Herzog Jewelers in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. The Board of commissioners remains a six-member Board, comprised of Collins, Koester, Pat Sommerkamp and Frank Jackson from Kenton County and Macke and Wagner from Campbell County. Northern Kentucky Water District was formed in 1996 when the Campbell County Kentucky Water District and the Kenton County Water District No. 1 merged. The largest water District in Kentucky, NKWD provides high quality water to over 80,000 customers in Kenton and Campbell counties.
was originally appointed to the Board by the Campbell County Fiscal Court in September of 2004 and has served on the Board for over five years. During the past two years of his tenure, he has served as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. "It has been a pleasure to serve as Chairman of the NKWD Board of Commissioners,” said Macke. "It will be important for the new Chairman to maintain the excellent working relationship with Ron Lovan, NKWD President and CEO, and the other District employees. I'm sure Mr. Collins will do an excellent job.” Fred Macke, Jr. was elected to sit as the new Secretary of the Board, as the replacement for Joe Koester. Mr. Macke is a partner and Senior Sales Vice President in the firm of Grubb & Ellis/West Shell Commercial. Doug Wagner was elected by the current Board members to serve as Board Vice-Chair for a standard one-year term. Mr. Wagner

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

the death of three local homeless children in an abandoned garage fire, and a subsequent article that reported there were 7,000 homeless children in the Greater Cincinnati area. NKRA wanted to increase awareness and raise funds to address this issue. In 2004, the Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Association became a cooperative partner as its board unani-
mously voted to support this event. Members of the two associations continue to revel in the opportunity to make a difference by participating in the original and only Mardi Gras for Homeless Children. Originally, the goal was to raise enough money to feed homeless children at two area shelters for one year. That goal was surpassed. To date, the event has raised more than $850,000.
