BRIGHTEN THE YEAR FOR MANY

We asked if you knew someone who regularly embodies the spirit

of Neighbors Who Care. Perhaps they shoveled snow for your whole

street, organized a Neighborhood Watch, or started a clothing drive

for a family who lost their home in a fire.

We have picked some of the best stories, and share them with you.

Thanks to you, and to them, for making this edition memorable.

ELSMERE – Cathy Cummins dreamed ofspending the rest of her life in a mission fieldof some foreign land. Health complicationsbecause of a battle with colon cancer preventthat.

So, Cummins, 58, of Erlanger, serves in amission field that is her own backyard.

“Christ wants us to be His hands and feet,”she said. “That’s what we’re supposed to do inlife – help those who need it. I may not havethe financial means to help someone but I cangive my time, give a helping hand, a smile or ahug.”

Cummins serves as office manager forLifeLine Ministries of Northern Kentucky, anoutreach mission that launched 11 years ago inElsmere. The organization has served nearly38,000 individuals this year alone, providingfree food, furniture and household items tothose in need.

Cummins started volunteering at LifeLinein 2008. She was a cancer survivor and waslooking for an opportunity to serve God ingratitude for sparing her life.

According to Chris Caddell, LifeLine foun-der, Cummins has done that and more.

“Cathy volunteers 35 to 40 hours everyweek and leads every aspect of LifeLine Min-istries,” Caddell said. “It’s difficult to ade-quately describe the amount of commitmentCathy displays in the midst of the ministry.Suffice it to say, it’s many late nights and earlymornings. It requires time away from family,leading when she doesn’t feel well physicallyand submitting herself to criticism from cli-ents that we love dearly but who haven’t fig-

ured out how to be thankful to date, a verysmall percentage.”

Caddell said on top of Cummins’ challeng-ing role with the ministry, she and her hus-band, Steve, are involved in raising their twograndchildren who live with them and theiradult son.

“Cathy runs the kids to school,” he said.“She picks them up, makes their meals andmentors them all at the same time in the midstof a stressful schedule she keeps at the minis-try center. Cathy is a human serving machinemade super human by a God who fuels herdaily. She is also the most humble, run-from-attention type person that I’ve ever met.”

Cummins said she’s comfortable being be-hind the scenes.

“I just do what I do and trust God that I’mdoing what He wants me to. There are a lot ofgood people who volunteer here,” she said.“Without our team, we wouldn’t be able to dowhat we do. God has always provided. Hekeeps this place going, sending volunteers anddonations.”

ERLANGER – There are146 houses in the WoodlynHills subdivision in Erlanger.Yet there’s a “strong sense ofcommunity,” thanks to Lind-sey White, according to herneighbors.

neighborhood, having a ‘bestdecorated house” during theholiday, and keeps the neigh-bors in the loop with our Face-book page,” said Wendy Mur-phy.

FORT MITCHELL – RobertEdwards is more than a neigh-bor, he’s the “guardian” ofThompson Avenue in FortMitchell.

“He looks out for all of us,”Elizabeth Alcorn said. “Robertis one of the kindest people Iknow and I think of him as ourneighborhood guardian. Hetakes the safety of our neigh-borhood very seriously.”

According to Alcorn, Ed-wards always has an eye outfor the community. When oneof the residents became illseveral years ago, she said,Edwards was the first personto take the initiative to help.He took care of his neighbor’sdog.

“In addition, he also helpedher when she had plumbingproblems and car trouble,”Alcorn said. “He tried to fixher car and when it becameapparent that the car could notbe fixed, he helped her throughthe process of replacing it witha new vehicle. These are thingsthat go above and beyond whata good neighbor might be ex-pected to do, and that is just

the kind of person Robert is.”Being a good neighbor is

part of Edwards’ philosophy onlife: “If you have neighborsyou like and respect, then givesomething back.”

Edwards, 66, said being agood neighbor is as simple assaying “hello,” or taking timefor a little chat.

“I don’t really think aboutthe things I do for my neigh-bors,” he said. “I see someonefall, so I help them up. It’shabit – it’s how I was broughtup.”

For White, it justcomes naturally.

“I love giving back to

my community,” shesaid. “We love this neigh-borhood. I actually grewup here and it’s a wonder-ful place to raise a fam-ily.”

According to Lindsey,it’s important to giveback and “just be a goodperson.”

“I do this so we can allget to know each other,”she said. “The block par-ty, the Facebook page, it’sall a way of coming to-gether. When you haveunity within the commu-nity everyone looks outfor each other and keepeach other safe.”

PINER – Jordan Back isproud to be helping the Ken-ton County Police Depart-ment’s K-9 officers.

“It’s really cool,” the 8-year-old Piner ElementarySchool student said. “The dogsare important police officersbecause they help catch badpeople.”

Back and his fellow third-grade students at Piner held acoin drive fundraiser for theK-9 unit after a virtual fieldtrip to the Santa Ana, Califor-nia, Police Department whenthey learned about K-9 offi-cers.

They did research andlearned that the Kenton Coun-ty Police Department has aK-9 unit. They also learnedthat Brix, one of the K-9s, willbe retiring at the end of theyear. In his honor, they raiseda total of $365. Teacher EllenCrum said this was an excitingand important project for thestudents to take on.

“This is important becauseit gives them a sense of thank-ing others, especially the peo-ple that keep us safe,” shesaid. “It also gives them aglimpse into a possible careerpath to follow. We have reallyenjoyed collecting the moneyto be able to show our thanksto these hard-working offi-cers.”

On Dec. 8, officers DarrellCaldwell and Jason Deacon,the Kenton department’s K-9handlers, visited Piner withK-9 officers Brix and Loki.They performed an agilitydemonstration and the stu-dents presented them with acheck, cards and banners theymade for them.

Deacon said the gesture“means a lot.”

“When you look at how peo-ple view police today, it’s niceto know that people still do

care,” he said. “This also is agood way for us to build a rela-tionship with these kids now.We need to invest in our chil-dren and foster a positive rela-tionship with them now .”

Deacon said their supportof the K-9 unit is helpful be-cause the K-9s are such an im-portant tool used in searchingfor suspected criminals, evi-dence and illegal substances.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

JANUARY 7, 2016 • COMMUNITY RECORDER • 7ANEWS

I was talking to Ron Wilsonduring his “In the Garden withRon Wilson” radio show aboutfood trends for 2016. All I can sayis “hah!”

Once again without even try-ing, I’m on the cutting edge of

trendiness. Not badfor a country girlwho hangs clothesout on the line andgathers wildgreens, includingpurslane, a trendy“weed,” which ishigh on the omega3 list.

Here are someof my favoritetrends:

Home remedies: DIY, whichI’ve been doing for eons. FromEpsom salt baths to homemadecough syrups – look for themedia to latch onto these old-time remedies.

The doc and you: Consideryour health care pro to be part ofyour team, not just someone whodispenses medicine. They appre-ciate when you take an activepart by asking questions andbeing honest about your healthexpectations.

From root to seed: Look forall parts of some produce to beused, like veggie root ends forstock and green tops for salads,etc. Chefs are using the swollenseed heads of radishes as spicyadditions to stir fries and salads.

Seaweed: A natural bloodpurifier with calcium and alkaliz-ing properties. Helps removestoxins. Think of sushi: Nori iswhat we use for that. AlsoArame, that black seaweed foundin deli salads and Dulse, which isred seaweed and tastes a bit likebacon.

Pulses/dried beans: Likedried lentils, chickpeas, beans,peas. Good for your heart.

Cabbage family: Not just

cabbage, but members like ka-lettes, a cross between kale andBrussels sprouts.

Try kohlrabi, which tastes tome like a mix of cabbage andbroccoli, but sweeter. Huge anti-cancer properties.

Veggie “steaks”: A big slab ofgrilled or roasted butternutsquash fits here.

Whole and mother grains:Same as last year – quinoa,bulghur, etc.

We use bulghur exclusively inour tabouleh. Your body absorbswhole grains slowly so you don’tget a surge of carbs.

Protein bowls: Healthy meatsand seafood along with wholegrains as a base for entrees andsalads.

Readers want to knowHigh heat cooking oils: Re-

fined almond, canola, grape seed,safflower, sesame and sunflowerare good choices. Avocado, bothrefined and unrefined has a highheat tolerance, as well.

Tofu: Soft is best for smooth-ies. Try silken soft. It blends uprich and creamy, augmentingsmoothies with calcium, proteinand other nutrients. Plus it helpslower cholesterol.

Rita’s hummus

1 can, approximately 15 ounces, chickpeas drainedand rinsed.

Chickpeas contain iron, calcium, potassium andvitamins. A “to taste” recipe.

1 good clove garlic (1 teaspoon or so, minced)1/4 cup lemon juice or to taste3 tablespoons Tahini or more to taste(Tahini, or sesame seed paste contains

bone-building calcium and vitamins.)1 teaspoon cumin1/4 cup plain yogurt2 tablespoons olive oil, or to tasteSalt to taste

Blend everything well. I make mine in the foodprocessor.

Rita’s hummus video: Check it out on myAbouteating.com site.

Open face veggie sandwich

I like to make this on a whole-wheat bagel thin.Spread some hummus (or guacamole) on bagel half.Top with cucumber, tomato and olives or your favor-

ite veggies

Chipotle turkey bagelTry the different varieties, from mild to spicy. Sub

guacamole for chipotle mayo. A high-protein sandwich.

1 bagel1 curly green lettuce leaf3 slices turkey2 slices tomato1 tablespoon chipotle mayonnaise

Chipotle mayonnaiseStart with a cup of mayo, then stir in chipotles in

adobo sauce to taste. I like to puree my chipotles in adobosauce. That way, I don’t get chunks of spicy hot peppers.Lasts a long time in fridge.

On a toasted bagel, assemble sandwich with lettuce,turkey and tomato and top with chipotle mayo.

Nutella apple bagel.Kids love this: smear some Nutella on a bagel half.

Top with sliced apples and cinnamon.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONWhat is the best way to handle the Syrian refugee situation?

Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in the subject line.

Allow me to reflect upon afew of the major issues im-pacting our community in 2015and glance ahead to what’s instore for 2016.

We survived the construc-tion of Pride Parkway andcelebrated the completion ofthe project with a ceremonialribbon cutting on Nov. 16 atthe Trifecta Development.The ceremony was presidedover by Lt. Gov. Crit Luallenand recognized many officialsin our state and local govern-ment who worked diligently tomake the project a reality.Special acknowledgmentswere made to Sen. DamonThayer, Rep. Tom Kerr, Rep.Arnold Simpson, and the engi-neers, planners and staffers atthe Kentucky TransportationCabinet.

The Ky. 16 ReconstructionProject was necessary tomove the 40,000-plus cars aday that traveled the existingKy. 16, a dangerous two-lanehighway that was designatedwith a roadway rating equal togridlock. A change of thismagnitude is always difficultbut the progress and safetyenhancements it has broughtto our community will be un-paralleled in the long term.

Taylor Mill City Commis-

sion was suc-cessful inmost efforts tolobby the statefor additionaltraffic signalenhancementson the park-way within theTaylor Millcity limits.This meanstwo much-needed traffic

signals will be installed at theintersection of WaymanBranch, Taylor Mill Road, andPride Parkway; and at theintersection of Honey Drive(Sawmill Drive), Old TaylorMill Road, and Pride Parkwayin the near future. These sig-nals will help ease the move-ment of traffic along the corri-dor creating breaks in trafficflow allowing residents trav-eling from adjacent side roadsthe opportunity to exit ontothe parkway in a more safelymanner than before.

Improvements to the resi-dential housing marketbrought developers eager tobegin and finalize new andexisting developments. Forexample: Custom Home Build-ers Gerdes and Flesch plattedplans to develop 60 new homes

in the High Ridge Park Sub-division. Berling Developmentplatted plans to build an addi-tional 16 homes on lots theyhad in the Taylor Creek Sub-division, and the remaininglots on Morning Glory soldwith new homes popping upwithin months bringing thatdevelopment to near comple-tion.

As taxpayers we under-stand the need to keep taxrates low for all residents andbusiness owners. That task isdifficult at best when havingto balance the ever-increasingneeds and cost affiliated withprovision of essential emer-gency service operations (po-lice, fire and public works).We were able to hold the RealProperty Tax Rate to the low-est compensating rate pos-sible. Unfortunately we had topass along to our residents anincrease in the cost of trashand recycling collection ser-vices. This increase was adirect result of an unavoidabledirect increase in the cost ofthe service from our vendor,Rumpke of Northern Ken-tucky. We hope to reduce thatcost next year when we bidservices again in spring 2016.

The City Commission elim-inated the Vehicle Registra-

tion Tax this fiscal year savingresidents $10 annually foreach vehicle registered totheir Taylor Mill address.

In late 2014, the TrifectaDevelopment was completeand become the official hometo Tristate favorites SkylineChili, LaRosa’s, and Graeter’sIce Cream & Bakery Store.

In 2015, we welcomed theGolf Exchange and saw sig-nificant renovations occurunder new management to thelocal Taylor Mill McDonald’s.

2016 is slated to bring thearrival of Lucky Duck Puband Club Vape to the Shoppesof Taylor Mill and renovationsto the local BP Gas Station.The Holland Rosen Group isanticipated to move into theirnearly completed corporateoffices on the third floor ofthe Trifecta Development inthe spring.

2016 will also bring aboutconstruction on the next phaseof the Taylor Mill Road Side-walk Project. We also lookforward to our continued col-laboration with SanitationDistrict No. 1 to separate thecombined Sanitary and StormSewer System in the ChurchStreet area.

Finally, we would be remissif we didn’t acknowledge the

many accolades and honorswe proudly received during2015 when Taylor Mill wasselected as an All Star Com-munity to host events in con-junction with MLB’s All StarBaseball Game, which led usto host the Taste of TaylorMill, the All Star Game View-ing Party, and a children’sBaseball Movie/Touch A TruckEvent at Pride Park.

We expand our list of hon-ors in 2016 by being grantedthe ability to be a host commu-nity for the Vietnam VeteransMoving Wall. More details willbe announced in 2016 aboutour participation in this amaz-ing endeavor to honor thosewho have made the ultimatesacrifice defending our na-tion.

On behalf of myself, Com-missioners Debby Kreimborg,Ed Kuehne, Dan Murray andRoger Reis, our CAO Jill Bai-ley, Police Chief/AssistantCAO Steve Knauf, Fire/ALSChief John Stager, Mainte-nance Director Marc Roden,and City Attorney Frank Wich-mann we look forward to con-tinuing to serve you in 2016.

May the new year be happyand healthy for us all!

Taylor Mill poised for continued success

Daniel L.BellCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

As 2015 comes to a close, Iwanted to take a moment toreflect on the challenges andsuccesses of the first year ofmy term as the mayor of thisgreat city. It was a team effort,with strong support by counciland hard work by city staff,which made the extraordinaryaccomplishments of this yearpossible.

When I took office, VillaHills was mired in controversywhich had diminished ourcity’s reputation and causeddeep frustration in our com-munity. I am proud to reportthat civility has been restoredand the state of Villa Hills isthe strongest it’s ever been. Ihave heard over and overagain from residents in allparts of the city, many of themlongtime residents, and fromlong-serving members ofcouncil that 2015 is the bestthey have ever seen VillaHills’ government operate.

While many would believethat a simple change in leader-ship made this possible, theproblems I found when I firstsat down in the mayor’s officewere deeper than many real-ized. The media circus of theprevious years had hiddendeep and systemic problemswith understaffing, road fund-ing shortfalls, out-of-controllegal bills, and the staff strug-gling with obsolete or brokenequipment. That is why coun-cil moved quickly to authorize$140,000 to buy new equip-ment, immediately make oneof the three part-time officersfull-time, and bring our payscale up to what other localjurisdictions pay in order toretain the talented employeesVilla Hills is blessed to have.With the advice of city council,

I selected adifferent lawfirm which hasworked dili-gently to un-wind all of thevarious law-suits and legalconundrumsthat entangledthe city when Iarrived. Legalbills havefallen from a

high of $147,000 in fiscal year2011-2012 to $58,000 at the endof fiscal year 2014-2015 andcontinue to trend downwards.

I am impressed with thedetermination of the councilmembers elected with me lastfall to tackle the long-standingroad funding issue. I’m thank-ful to Villa Hills residents forapproving a restricted roadtax that will ensure there isenough money to fix our roads.I cannot stress enough howmuch this new stable fundingsource helps the city.

To be sure we use thesefunds effectively, the publicworks department has institut-ed a new work order system toreport and track road work.All members of City Councilworked together to build aconsensus on moving forwardwith the road tax. I want to letresidents know what a greatjob Council members GaryWaugaman and Scott Ringo didin preparing and deliveringtwo public presentations onthe road funding issue.

Council also updated thecity’s 20-year-old ethics ordi-nance, limited door-to-doorsales to reasonable hours ofthe day, created a registry forvacant and foreclosed proper-ties, established higher tax

rates for abandoned proper-ties, reauthorized the garbagecontract, created an inspectionprogram to ensure safe side-walks, and pushed for the pur-chase of body cameras for ourofficers. Council returned theinsurance premium tax to theprevious 5 percent rate it hadbeen from the mid 1980s until2014. Council has worked to-gether in a civil and respectfulmanner, which has not beenseen in Villa Hills for nearly adecade.

Even with the clear successof this year, more must bedone. One of the ongoing chal-lenges facing city officials isthat our current tax base can-not grow much beyond whereit is today.

This is one of the reasonswhy the road funding issuewas so difficult to address.Costs will continue to rise, butour tax base, made up almostexclusively with propertytaxes, will not. In order toavoid continuously askingresidents for higher and high-er taxes or drastically cuttingcity services, I have directedcity staff to identify and ex-plore opportunities for eco-nomic development within ourcity. Only by adding jobs and afew businesses to our city canwe avoid these horrible sce-narios and ensure that resi-dents get the high quality cityservices they deserve andexpect.

It has been an honor toserve as your mayor and I lookforward to continuing theimprovements and success wehave shared well into the fu-ture. God bless the city of VillaHills.

Villa Madonna was the lastNinth Region girls’ basketballteam to experience defeat, go-ing three weeks into the sea-son without a loss. The hopenow for coach Brian Coburn’ssmall-school squad is a mightymiddle of the schedule fol-lowed by a fast finish, withgame-to-game focus.

“Our team is really workinghard for it,” said senior guardLexie Aytes, the scoring, as-sists and steals leader. She av-erages 13.4 points per game,and needs just over 100 toreach 1,000 in her career.“We’re putting a lot of effortinto practice, and we want tokeep this going.”

The Blue Lightning boltedto a 6-0 start and didn’t lose un-til Dec. 21 when Ballard Me-morial bottled them up at theLady Bombers ChristmasTournament in LaCenter. It’s acomplete reversal in Coburn’ssecond year. The Blue Light-ning lost their first threegames last season, leading to a1-6 start. Momentum pickedup when the tough times gaveway to better play in a new sys-tem that became more famil-iar.

The Blue Lightning were13-12 over the last two monthsbefore falling to Ludlow in thefirst round of the 34th Districttournament. A key was mas-tering Coburn’s man-to-mandefense.

“We’re a little more aggres-sive on offense, and wechanged the defense when Icame in,” said Coburn, who ledSt. Henry to four straight dis-

trict titles in his previouscoaching stint. “For us, it’s ba-sically defense, reboundingand taking care of the basket-ball. We don’t run set plays; werun our offense, and we canrun it three or four differentways.”

The Blue Lightning enteredJanuary with a 9-3 record af-ter winning a pair of games forthe second season in a row atBellevue’s home tournament.

“A lot of us have been to-gether since freshman year.Our starting lineup has beentogether two years,” said sen-ior Sarah Ernst, the leaderwith 9.5 rebounds and secondin scoring with 10 points pergame. “Last year was ourbuilding year. This year, wehave goals.”

They achieved one goal byavenging the season-endingloss to Ludlow with a pair ofvictories against the Panthers.Villa put four scorers in dou-ble figures, led by sophomoreMadison Perry’s 13, in a De-cember win at Ludow. Aytesand senior defensive stopperAbby Hengge scored 12 eachagainst Ludlow at the Bellevuetournament.

Aytes scored a season-high30 against Augusta. Henggeaverages 6.9 points and leadsthe team in 3-pointers. Fresh-man swing player BrookeMeier, second with 4.5 re-bounds, rounds out the start-ing five.

“We’re really focusing in onevery game,” Hengge said.“It’s been five years since wewent to the regional, and wewant to get back there. Thelast time we went, I was in theeighth grade.”

The Villa MadonnaBlue Lightning have sucha small swimming teamthey lost 14 percent of theroster when a swimmer’sfamily moved out of theschool district in the fall.

“I started the seasonwith seven, but I’m downone,” said coach KatieKurzendoerfer, a VillaMadonna graduate andUSA Swimming coach.“My first year, we had fiveswimmers. Last year, weadded one. This year, westarted with seven, sowe’re slowly building.”

With a group of six, theBlue Lightning have oneof the smallest teams inKentucky. When they getin the pool Saturday at theScott Eagle Classic, theywill have the odds stackedagainst them. But thatwon’t stop them fromscoring.

“We’re a small team,with big ambitions,” Kur-zendoerfer said.

No matter how smallthey are, the Blue Light-ning seem to come up bigin a couple events eachyear. With six on the rosterlast season, the girlspicked up 41 points and

finished a middle-of-the-pack 13th at the Region 4Championships at Silver-lake. Highlights weretop-10 finishes, includingninth in the 100-yard but-terfly and 10th in the 200medley relay.

Junior Molly Holt re-turns from the relay team.There’s also freshmanAinsley Marlette. Bothare versatile swimmershoping to score points atScott. “They have to beversatile,” the coach said.“They’re the only girls onthe team.”

Marlette was 16th atthe regional and qualifiedfor the consolation finalsin the 200 freestyle. Holtjust missed qualifying forthe 200 freestyle consola-tion finals. Marlette swama leg on the 12th-place 200freestyle relay team. Shealso swims the 500 free-style. Holt adds the 100backstroke. Boys swim-mers are sophomores Lo-gan Sprague and ZachStringer, and freshmenGabriel Powell and HanleiWang.

“We have talent. Be-cause we’re such a smallschool, we don’t have alot,” Kurzendoerfer. “Oneof the best things aboutbeing so small is you have

a lot of individual instruc-tion, which can help youget better, faster.”

The coach provides animportant example forher swimmers. She swamon small teams through-out her career at Villa Ma-donna, which prides itselfon academics. She was in agraduating class of 56 in2009. All 56, includingKurzendoerfer, went tocollege, 95 percent withscholarships.

Kurzendoerfer hadbooks with her all thetime, which led to a swim-ming career at Centre Col-lege. But that didn’t stopher from back-to-back re-gional fifth-place finishesin the 200 freestyle andback-to-back sixths in the500 free. She qualified forstate as a senior.

“Villa’s vision is to in-corporate sports into aca-demics. But I know youcan still have good swim-mers,” said Kurzendoer-fer, a fourth-grade lan-guage arts teacher at Im-maculate Heart of Mary.“The reason why I’m hereis I want my swimmers tohave the same feeling Ihad in high school -- a feel-ing that you can get tostate, no matter how smallyou are.”

If you are like most coffeedrinkers, the first thing thatcomes to mind in the morningsis “Awhhhh … coffee.”

Whether needed to getthrough the day or night, cof-fee is seen by many as a neces-sity that they cannot live with-out. Despite this great need forcoffee, we have all heard con-flicting stories about whetherthe drink is good or bad foryou.

Some people believe thatcoffee is bad for you and theeffects can be as detrimentalas smoking or drinking. Re-search does not support thisand in fact several studiesshow that coffee providesbenefits such as increasedcognitive function and may beprotective against Parkinson’sdisease, and liver cancer. Someresearch also shows that cof-fee may protect against type 2diabetes.

The Academy of Nutritionand Dietetics explains thatcoffee has small amounts ofcertain nutrients like magne-sium, niacin, potassium andvitamin E and that these nutri-ents help the body use thehormone insulin more effec-tively.

The next question that somepeople might ask is how much

coffee is toomuch. As a ruleof thumb, if theamount of coffeeyou drink causesyou to be irrita-ble, anxious orrestless so thatyou do not getgood sleep atnight, then youare drinking toomuch coffee.

The Dietary Guidelines forAmericans mentions that mod-erate coffee consumption doesnot pose a health risk. Moder-ate consumption was definedas three to five eight-ouncecups of coffee per day, or up to400 milligram/day caffeine.People who have high bloodpressure should ask theirhealth care provider if it issafe for them to consume caf-feine.

It is important to note thatmost of the health benefits ofcoffee refer to black coffeethat is drunk with milk and asmall amount of sugar or othersweetener. For any peoplehaving their morning Joemeans drinking a large Frap-puccino with whipped creamthat could have 500 or morecalories, one-quarter or moreof their daily caloric require-

ment.If we are to get to the ver-

dict on whether coffee is goodor bad for you, we will have togo down in favor of good foryou, with the clause added, inmoderation. Here are somerules you should remember ifyou want to achieve the fullhealth benefit from coffee.

» Ask that your coffee bemade with fat-free or low-fatmilk instead of whole milk

» Forgo the extra flavoring.The flavored syrups used incoffee shops, such as vanilla orhazelnut, are sweetened withsugar and will add calories toyour drink.

» If you are ordering aFrappuccino and a Latte, orderthe smallest size available.

» Skip the whip. Thewhipped cream on top of cof-fee drinks adds calories andfat.

» » Many coffee shops of-fer a good variety of teas,green tea included, which canoffer a nice taste and still be ahealthy choice.

» Get back to basics. Ordera plain cup of coffee with fat-free milk and artificial sweet-ener, or drink it black.

The Society of St. Vincentde Paul Northern Kentuckycollected new and gently usedcoats, hats, gloves, mittensand scarves to distribute tolocal families in need.

Distribution of coats to theneedy took place at St. HenryChurch in Erlanger and Co-vington Latin School, New-port Primary School and JohnG. Carlisle School in Coving-ton; and at the thrift store inFalmouth.

The drive ran through thefirst week of December.

“Every year we see chil-dren, adults and the elderlywho lack enough warm cloth-ing to stay protected through-out the winter, and also lackthe funds to buy new wintercoats for the family,” saidExecutive Director RalphBradburn.

“Providing a warm, winter

coat to someone in need reallylifts their spirits. And it reallywarms your heart to see ourneighbors and sponsors likeWLWT News 5, Gold StarChili, Burlington Coat Factoryand Warm 98 that providethese gifts to our neighbors inneed. What makes this pro-gram even more special thisyear is the funding receivedfrom the Elsa Heisel SuleFoundation to purchase newcoats for children.”

Due to the generosity ofthe local community, St. Vin-cent distributed nearly 2,500donated coats to children andadults during three distribu-tion days in November andDecember 2014.

FORT THOMAS - LauraMeier, 30, didn’t stop movingonce in a new Barre3 studiowhere uptempo music and awall of mirrors reflected thefast pace of an hour mixingballet, yoga and Pilates.

Barre3 franchise ownerKelley Groneck has opened theregion’s second Barre3 studioinside the Fort Thomas Plazaalong U.S. 27 near the I-471interchange.

Barre3, a growing nationalfitness trend, opened the firstCincinnati area studio in Mont-

gomery, Ohio, in June. A reg-ular schedule of class times at90 U.S. 27, Fort Thomas, willbegin Sept. 28.

For Meier, a Sept. 22 Barre3workout by special invitationfor Fort Thomas Moms Club

members, was her secondclass.

“My body is shaking, so Iknow I’m getting a workout,”Meier said.

Classes pack lots of target-ed muscle exercises into ashort amount of time, she said.

“I have three kids,” Meiersaid. “I don’t have any moretime to work out.”

Using a headset micro-phone, Groneck orchestratesher classes’ movements oncork floors by speaking in syncto the beat of music mixes ofartists including Rihanna,Jeremih and Madonna. Peoplesee themselves working out in

the mirrored wall with a balletbarre.

Groneck, 34, of Fort Thom-as, found Barre3 online classesand a blog with healthy recipesas a way to connect mind andbody without having to takeyoga and another type of class.

“It’s about moving – justgetting out there and moving,”she said.

A native of Villa Hills, Gro-neck previously worked asbiomedical company salesrepresentative selling genetic

testing technology to healthcare providers.

Barre3 was started sevenyears ago in Portland, Oregon,said Barre3 spokeswomanNikki Gersten McAvity.

There are 75 Barre3 studiosin the U.S. and signed agree-ments to open 15 more.

Cory Ruschman, 34, of FortThomas, said she liked Barre3so much after taking her firstclass in February she becamean instructor. Ruschman willteach at Barre3 Fort Thomas.

“Mary lovingly cra-dling baby Jesus con-tinues to be an importantsymbol today, especiallywith so many assaults onthe family and the up-heaval in the world. Weare hopeful that the sculp-ture will be a beacon ofhope for people in ourcommunity,” said AnneBurleigh of Rabbit Hash.

Mrs. Burleigh, alongwith her husband, Bill, arefounding members of thecommittee that had the vi-sion for St. Mary’s Park atthe northwest corner ofMadison Avenue and Mar-tin Luther King Jr. Boule-vard in Covington, acrossthe street from the Cathe-dral Basilica of the As-sumption.

Other committeemembers include MaryBrown, former mayor ofFort Thomas; Dan Gro-neck, president US BankNorthern Kentucky;Mark Guilfoyle, partnerat DBL Law; and JoanWurtenberger, architectand senior principal forChamplin Architecture.

“We all share a passionfor doing something tocommemorate the spiritand importance of St. Ma-ry,” Guilfoyle said. “Webelieve St. Mary’s Parkwill provide a place forcommunity members tosocialize, pray and sharereflections, while com-memorating Mary in allher glory,” Guilfoyle said.

St. Mary’s Park will bemanaged under the aus-pices of the Cathedral par-ish but has, to date, beenplanned and funded byvolunteers and communi-ty organizations. Whilethe project has continuedto develop, the group isseeking additional fundsin order for the park to becompleted. With expecta-tions high, the project isslated for construction in2016.

St. Mary’s Park will bean urban oasis featuringas its focal point a nine-foot bronze statue of Ma-ry, the Blessed Mother,holding the infant Jesus.Mary will stand on a four-foot stone pedestal in thecenter of a fountain mea-suring 24 feet in diameter.The park will be profes-sionally landscaped andwill also feature a raisedrose garden.

“The statue has beencast in bronze at a foundryin Philadelphia and should

be finished well beforethe start of the construc-tion season,” Gronecksaid. “It will be a worldclass piece of art.”

Bill and Anne Burleighconferred with nationallyrenowned architect Dun-can Stroik who recom-mended artist DavidFrech, a young accom-plished sculptor in Bea-con, New York, for theproject. Over the last sev-eral years, Frech has beensculpting and resculptingthe statue of Mary and Je-sus.

“We’ve learned a lot ofphysics with this project,it’s been terrific,” saidAnne Burleigh. “We talkwith the sculptor everyweek. He is a wonderfulsculptor and we are excit-ed about what this parkand what this sculpturewill mean to the neighbor-hood and the continued re-vitalization of our urbancore,” she said.

Groneck, whose officeis five blocks north of theCathedral on Madison Av-enue, also sees the park asan aesthetic complementto the “Cathedral Square”and the city of Covington.

“I was excited by thefact that it is going to be inCovington. Covington isexperiencing a great eco-nomic boom and this pro-ject caps that success,”Groneck said. “To me it’sthe third leg of the stoolfor this part of Covington– with the Cathedral at thecenter, you have the Latinschool and you have theCuria Building and thisproject will completethat. I think it will getmore attention than whatanyone can anticipate.The fact is it will be agreat park,” Gronecksaid.

For people who liveand work in Covingtonand for the many visitorswho are already drawn tothe art and architecture ofthe Cathedral, St. Mary’sPark will offer a place ofrespite and reflection.
