JUNIOR NEWSPAPERCARRIERS NEEDED

Traditionally low voter turn-out in state elections, expectedto be below 30 percent in North-ern Kentucky Nov. 3, is seen as anegative for having clout withstate lawmakers in Frankfort.

Election Day polls in Ken-tucky will be open from 6 a.m.-6p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3. Choosing anew governor and voting forcandidates for five other stategovernment jobs will be allmany voters see on their bal-lots.

A special road tax for VillaHills property owners andelecting a new mayor in ColdSpring are the only contested lo-cal races on the ballot in North-ern Kentucky.

“Candidates go where thevotes are, and while there are intheory a lot of votes in our re-gion given our size, the fact thatwe under punch our weight onElection Day means that we getless attention from statewideelected officials,” Trey Gray-son, president and CEO of theNorthern Kentucky Chamberof Commerce.

“That lack of attention hurtsour efforts to achieve our re-gional priorities,” Grayson said.

Grayson has been KentuckySecretary of State and cam-paigned for a U.S. Senate seat in2010. Grayson said he spentmore time campaigning insoutheastern Kentucky duringhis Senate primary because thatregion has higher voter turnout.The actual population was lessimportant than turnout levels.

Campbell County Clerk JimLuersen predicts 20 percent ofregistered voters will show up

to vote. That’s counting ColdSpring where turnout will behigher because of a heated may-oral election, Luersen said.

Luersen said when he cam-paigned for his office in 2014,many people told him they onlyvote in U.S. presidential elec-tions while the governor’s of-fice and other state offices havemore impact on people’s dailylives.

“We’d have a more powerfulvoice in Frankfort if we hadmore votes up here,” he said.

Kenton County Clerk GabeSumme said she does not knowwhat to expect for voter turnoutacross the county.

“My only prediction at thispoint is that there will be a largeturnout in Villa Hills becausethey have a tax question on theirballot,” Summe said. “This isusually what brings people tothe polls.”

Boone County Clerk KennyBrown said he expects turnout

HEBRON – Boone County residentsdon’t have to go far for a taste of Para-dise.

The family-owned doughnut shop,Paradise Donuts, opened Aug. 2 at 2091North Bend Road, Hebron.

Owners James and Tammy Wright-sell used to drive by the location betweentheir home in Burlington and Tammy’sparent’s house in Hebron.

“There were always a lot of pizzaplaces here, and we thought it would begood to offer something else, like dough-nuts,” James Wrightsell said. When theysaw a vacancy, they decided the time wasright to move forward with the invest-ment they’d already researched: Para-dise Donuts, a franchise based on anoriginal doughnut recipe from a Missou-ri business that started in the 1930s.

Now, the company has more than 160shops in 26 states. The Wrightsells’ shopis the first in Kentucky, and there arenone yet in Indiana or Ohio.

When the Wrightsells opened theirshop it was staffed only by them andtheir five children, Jasmine, 25; Stepha-nie, 24; Samuel, 20; Noah, 17; and Bailey,16. Since then, they’ve added a few for-

mer coworkers and some of their kids’friends to the staff, but James Wrightsellsaid they still have a few more glitches towork out of their process.

“So far, we haven’t been able to stayopen the full number of hours. We sellout too quickly,” he said. “We open at 4:30a.m. and have been selling out by 9:50 inthe morning. On Saturdays and Sundays,we’re open until 1 p.m., but we haven’tmade it that long yet.”

From Monday through Friday, theshop is open from 4:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.,which James Wrightsell said “is a littleslower.”

Along with creeks andrivers, the licks ofBoone County were

landmarks to the early settlerslong before anyone even re-ferred to ZIP codes or sub-divisions, writes Tom Schifferof the Boone County HistoricPreservation Board.

“Ancient trails wide enoughto pass two wagons abreastwere worn in the sod and for-est by animals in search ofsalt.”

For thousands of years, BigBone Lick salt springs attract-ed a diversity of animals in-cluding bison, mammoth, and

mastodon, as well as the peoplewho hunted and scavengedthese animals.

The 33rd annual Salt Festi-val took place Oct. 16-18 at BigBone Lick State Historic Site.The festival in Boone Countyfeatured demonstrations ofpioneer living and skills, fron-tier life and Native Americanskills and traditions.

It was a great event withterrific weather, said DeanHenson, park manager of BigBone Lick State Historic Site.

“We had around 6,000 peo-ple in attendance for the week-end,” Henson said.

OCTOBER 29, 2015 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • 7ANEWS

This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last bornwas always ahobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats. Mom didn’t have to lookthrough them to see if they were safe.

Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are some good last

minute recipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.

Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe

how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!).

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch

Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.

1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime

gelatin3 cups cold water1-1/2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime

soda, chilledPour boiling water over gelatin and stir

until dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pourinto punch bowl. Stir in soda, makingmixture fizz.

Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float inpunch. Serve cups garnished withgummy worms.

Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies

1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade

Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.

Black cat cookie pops

Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.

1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off after theycool, glue them on with a little powderedsugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes 2-3dozen

My best caramel corn

This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding dried fruitelevates this to a new dimension.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)

To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcorn mix-ture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayed cookiesheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating.Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at room temper-ature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up

popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

Nov. 3, 2015, will be an im-portant day in Kentucky’s his-tory and most Kentuckianswon’t even bother to partici-pate.

It is Election Day for allstate offices and some localoffices.

For some reason 75 percentof the registered voters in thestate do not seem to care aboutwho gets elected to these of-fices.

I was the County Clerk forCampbell County for the past25 years, conducted over 48elections and still cannot fig-ure out why the voters won’ttake the time to vote in theseelections.

Our next governor willhave a great influence in ourlives for the next four or eightyears effecting Kentucky’s fi-nancial growth, education,jobs, tax growth, health care,retirement programs andmany other facets of our lives.

And still, in the past threegovernors elections, less than

27 percent of the voters actu-ally cared enough to come outand vote. Three out of fourvoters seem not to care andthat is a shame.

Kentucky has one of themost lenient requirements forvoting in all elections. InCampbell, Kenton and Boonecounties, there are over 200voting precincts open from 6a.m. to 6 p.m. on Election Day.

If you are incapacitated orout of town on Election Day,just call your clerk’s officeand request an absentee ballotbe sent to you. All threeclerks’ offices will be open forabsentee voting at least threeweeks before the election.Call your county clerk to see ifyou are eligible to vote absen-tee.

Your vote does county.Make your voice be heard.

Please go out on Tuesday, Nov.3, 2015 and cast your vote inthis very important election.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The accountability resultsreleased Oct. 1 show stronggrowth in the college and ca-reer readiness of Kentucky’shigh school graduates, movingfrom 62.5 percent to 66.8 per-cent of graduates reachingthose benchmarks.

This good news is coupledwith the fact that scores forhigh school students in groupswho have historically strug-gled to meet state standardshave improved at a quickerpace than the achievementresults for all students. Theseindicators are positive newsfor Kentucky’s students andour shared future.

However, the decline inoverall scores for elementaryand middle school is cause forimmediate concern and fo-cused attention. Student out-comes in the early gradesmust continue to improve asthey lay the essential founda-tion for later success. As acombined group, African-American, low-income, His-panic, English learners, and

students withdisabilitiesalso lostground at theelementaryand middleschool levels,showing thatwe need todeepen ourfocus on pro-viding richeropportunitiesfor each and

every child. In addition, this year’s re-

sults fell short of some of thegoals Kentucky set for educa-tional improvement. Ourstatewide elementary andmiddle school results are be-low the goals set by the Ken-tucky Board of Education.While the high school out-comes met these goals andcollege and career readinesscontinues to increase, it isimportant that we recognizethe weaknesses in other areasand actively build more con-sistent year-over-year im-

provement going forward. The Prichard Committee

plans further study of theseresults and urges all Kentuck-ians to renew our focus onmaking sure all students learndeeply, thrive, achieve andcontribute to our communi-ties. The committee’s Achieve-ment Gap Study Group, repre-senting participants fromacross the state, is workingthis fall to identify the mostimportant next steps to sup-port each and every Kentuckychild’s growth and achieve-ment.

We applaud the KentuckyDepartment of Education forrecognizing the moral imper-ative of ensuring all studentsachieve at high levels. It isclear that we have urgentwork ahead.

Frequently, our office isasked about a power of At-torney and its applicabilityas a commonly used legaldocument. A Power of At-torney is a legal documentthat assigns another personto take care of your affairsfor you. The person as-signed, your agent, is typi-cally responsible for takingcare of financial or healthcare matters on your behalf.Like all other legal docu-ments, a person must becompetent to enter into andgrant a Power of Attorney.

The authority grantedunder any Power of Attor-ney will vary dependingupon the exact languageused. However, a GeneralPower of Attorney usuallygrants someone else author-ity to handle all matters as ifthe person granting the Pow-er of Attorney were con-ducting the business them-selves. A Power of Attorneyis required to deal with theproperty of the other personusing the utmost good faithto handle matters for thebest interests of the persongranting the Power of At-torney.

If someone with a Powerof Attorney does not act ingood faith or outside thescope of the Power of At-torney, that person may beaccountable for a violationof fiduciary duty. Any civilaction brought for a vio-lation must be made withinfive years of the breach.

The person given thePower of Attorney is notrequired to use any of hisown funds or assets for theother person, but merely todeal with the other person’sproperty in that person’sbest interests. If there is tobe any use of the funds forthe personal debts of theperson appointed or others,there should be authority todo such in writing signed bythe person granting the Pow-

er of Attor-ney. Fur-thermore, ifthe personperformingthe duties asPower ofAttorney is tobe compen-sated a feefor renderingthose ser-vices, thenthere shouldbe something

in writing to that effectsigned by the one who hasappointed the other personas Power of Attorney.

One very important rea-son to grant someone a Pow-er of Attorney over yourfinancial or health careneeds, is to avoid the com-paratively cumbersomeprocess of going through aguardianship proceedingshould it be necessary toplace a trusted individual incharge of your affairs. APower of Attorney easilycircumvents this process.

A common question ouroffice receives is when doesa Power of Attorney end. APower of Attorney ends or isterminated in a variety ofinstances. Some of thoseinstances include: upondeath; upon granting by theCourts of a guardianship andconservatorship; and upontermination of the Power ofAttorney by the person whogranted the authority.

I hope this information isinteresting and helpful. Ifyou have any topics youwould like to have coveredin this column, please con-tact my office by e-mail [email protected], by phone at491-7700 or by regular mailaddressed to 319 York St.,Newport, KY 41071.

At our recent sold-out Au-toVision conference, nation-ally known speakers andexecutives shared innovativeideas about Kentucky’s automanufacturing future. Lead-ers from Ford, GM and topauto analysts offered insiderinsights that are extremelyvaluable to our state’s manu-facturers and suppliers.

But the session that at-tracted a standing-room-onlycrowd wasn’t about the latestdesigns or innovations – itwas about people. Attendeescrowded in to talk aboutworkforce development.

Kentucky is setting a blis-tering pace in automotiveproduction and support,charging ahead as the third-highest producer of cars andlight trucks in the country.But to keep our pedal to thefloor, our industry needsmore skilled workers – andwe need them now.

The Kentucky AutomotiveIndustry Association (KAIA)is committed to improvingworkforce development tosupport the state’s vital automanufacturing sector. As wecelebrated ManufacturingDay on Oct. 2, it’s an idealtime to look at why this in-dustry is a smart careerchoice.

Automotive manufactur-ing is a massive economicplayer in Kentucky. This vitalindustry:

» Contributes $14 billionto the state’s economy, or $1of every $13.

» Supports 136,500 jobs.That’s roughly 1 out of every18 jobs (including direct,indirect and induced effects).

» Has plants in more thantwo-thirds of Kentucky’s 120counties.

Thanks to these successes,our auto industry urgentlyneeds more trained workers.Nobody is more keenly awareof the demand for skilled

labor thanmembers ofthe KAIA. Butthe generalpublic, andparticularlystudents, arefrequentlyunaware thatmanufactur-ing offers apath to a reli-able career athigher wages

than many other sectors.Plus, many of these careersdo not demand a costly four-year college degree.

Consider the median 2014Kentucky wages for thesejobs commonly found atplants that build vehicles andtheir components:

» Automotive, robotics ormanufacturing engineers(bachelor’s degree): $75,550to $76,900

» Tool and die makers(post-secondary certificate,associate’s degree): $50,200

» Machinists (post-sec-ondary certificate): $43,000

» Welders (high school,post-secondary certificate):$35,600

At KAIA, we realize thatmanufacturing is fighting aperception problem. Thefactories of generations pastmay have been dirty, dark oreven dangerous, but that’s farfrom the case today. Today’splants are bright, clean andmost important, they’re safe.

Today’s manufacturingworker isn’t a drone, end-lessly inserting Tab A intoSlot B. Today’s plant employ-ee is a problem-solving multi-tasker, with adaptable skillsets in sectors as varied asmath, electrical engineering,personnel management andsoftware development. Asour machinery becomes moresophisticated, so must ouremployees.

On behalf of KAIA, I en-

courage parents, educatorsand students to explore ad-vanced manufacturing in theautomotive industry as aworthwhile career. In addi-tion to university and com-munity college websites,here are a few other re-sources to help you map aroute to a rewarding automo-tive career:

» www.kyfame.com: KYFAME, the Kentucky Feder-ation for Advanced Manu-facturing Education, is apartnership of regional em-ployers seeking to createhighly skilled workers. Em-ployers train students whilethey are still in school.

» www.mfgday.com: Whilenot automotive-specific, thissite includes resources suchas scholarship informationand success stories. You caneven search for Manufactur-ing Day events in Kentuckynear you. Some of our mem-bers have planned tours andother events.

» www.onetonline.org andwww.bls.gov/ooh/: These sites(O*NET OnLine and the fed-eral government’s Occupa-tional Outlook Handbook) arenot automotive-specific, butare great for researching notonly the outlook for automo-tive careers, but the type ofwork done, the skills andeducation required and thepay scale by geographic area.

The KAIA is poised togrow the automotive indus-try, but we can’t do it alone.Whether you’re considering asecond career, choosing acollege major, or planningyour path after high school,don’t overlook what our in-dustry has to offer. Together,we can build a stronger Ken-tucky economy.

ERLANGER — Janelle To-bler has become a more well-rounded player in her final sea-son in a St. Henry volleyball uni-form.

The versatility will pay off atthe college level when she playsfor Bellarmine, an NCAA Divi-sion II school in Louisville.

“It’s my last year of highschool volleyball so I want toplay strong and really remem-ber my senior year,” she said.“(Bellarmine), I fell in love withthe school. I really like the teamand the school in general.”

Tobler led the Crusaders to a22-7 record and the 34th Districtchampionship. They were set tostart play in the Ninth Regiontourney Oct. 26. St. Henry wasplaying its best ball entering thepostseason, buoyed by a SeniorNight win over a 23-win PaulLaurence Dunbar club Oct. 15.

“We got off a really good winsenior night against Dunbar,”Tobler said. “We played reallywell as a team and it all came to-gether. It was our high point ofthe season. Whoever we play weneed to focus on our side of thecourt. It doesn’t matter if

they’re the top in the state, it’sour ball control and passing andworking together.”

Tobler, who had 299 kills lastseason and is one of NorthernKentucky’s leaders this year,was a key part of three All “A”state champions for the Crusad-ers. This season, she has rarelycome off the floor.

“Janelle’s got a lot of ability,”said St. Henry head coach Mau-reen Kaiser. “This year she’splaying all the way around,where before she was just afront-row player. We’ve used

her skills in the back row. She’sa very powerful hitter and she’sone of our key defensive play-ers too.”

Tobler plans to become aphysical therapist and she’llmiss her time with the Crusad-ers. Other seniors are Dani Noll,Kayla Riegler, Kassidy Schreib-er and Brooke Shea.

“We really connect,” shesaid. “We’re all great friends.We work together and rely oneach other.”

Cooper finished the regular season8-2 and is off this week. The Jaguars willhost Louisville Seneca in the first roundof the 6A playoffs in two weeks and willhave home-field advantage as long asthey last in the postseason. Ryle will bethe No. 2 seed and will host rival BooneCounty in the first round.

Conner dropped to 6-3 and finishedthird in the district, and will play atCampbell County in the first round ofthe playoffs. Conner will host MasonCounty to end the regular season 7:30p.m. this Friday.

Cooper led 12-0 late in the third quar-ter before the Cougars rallied to take a13-12 lead on a windy and rainy nightwith sloppy field conditions on Conner’sgrass field. Cooper only had 249 totalyards but limited the Cougars to evenfewer, 144.

Jaden Jackson rushed for 164 yardsand a touchdown for Cooper. JustinSchlarman had 51 yards rushing. Na-than Brown had a TD rush.

Conner scored in the fourth quarteron a TD pass from Kyler Padgett to Jo-seph Warwick and a run by Tyler Ar-nold. Padgett threw for 110 yards andrushed for 24 as the Jaguars limited theCougars to 34 total yards on the ground.

In the short history of its football pro-gram, Walton-Verona has built a highlycompetitive rivalry with teams coachedby Josh Stratton.

When Stratton was the head coach ofLloyd, the Juggernauts had severalclose clashes with the Bearcats. In the2011 and 2012 seasons, the teams metfour times, splitting the series 2-2. Inboth years, each team won one of theregular-season meetings but the otherteam got revenge in the playoff match-up.

After the 2012 season, Strattonmoved to Clermont County, Ohio to takeover the storied New Richmond pro-gram, and Friday night he brought theLions to Verona to renew the rivalry be-tween himself and W-V coach JeffBarth. Both their teams came into thegame with hopes of a deep playoff run.

Even with the teams from different

states, it turned out to be another pivotalbattle, with the Lions prevailing 28-21 ina game which had postseason implica-tions of varying kinds for each squad.

“We needed to pick up our gamespeed a bit and that’s why we scheduledthem,” Barth said. “We knew they wouldbe a tough opponent. We fought hard andI expect us to do big things in Novem-ber.”

The Lions (7-2) picked up a crucialwin as they try to solidify their playoffhopes in Ohio Division III. The Bearcatshad already clinched the championshipin their Class 2A district and will havenext week off from games before host-ing a playoff game against Newport inthe first round of the Kentucky postsea-son.

“They scheduled us to try to toughentheir schedule so they can get in theplayoffs and we scheduled them be-cause we wanted a tough opponent to getready for the playoffs,” Barth said. “It’sa good matchup. We wish them the bestof luck and we’ll come out in two weeksand get ready for Newport.”

The Bearcats scored late in the firstperiod on two quick runs in a row. Thefirst, by senior Halsey Page, coveredabout 30 yards and took it to the Lions 43yard line. On the next play, senior NoahRichardson burst through the middleand took it in for a 43-yard run.

Trailing 22-7, the Bearcats camedown and scored with five minutes to goin the third on a 3-yard run by Page. The

Bearcats forced a punt and got the ballback. With three minutes to go in thethird period, Page ran for a first downbut lost the ball at midfield in a call thatthe Bearcats press box crew didn’tagree with. Junior Kennith Moore re-covered the loose ball for the Lions andreturned it to the Bearcats 42 and the Li-ons scored near the end of the third peri-od to extend the lead to 14 at 28-14.

The Bearcats came right back andscored on a TD rush by Hunter Ruberwith 8:17 to go in the fourth quarter.Page rushed for 130 of Walton’s 277yards on the ground. Richardson posted77 on the ground.

“We’ve won big games where wefought back and fought back,” Barthsaid. “We’ve lost a couple of close onesand we’ll find a way to win those in theweeks ahead.”

Boone County lost 35-21to CampbellCounty to drop to 0-9. Amadou Diaw hadtwo TD runs and Ryan Vickers threw aTD pass to Dylon Bishop. Boonedropped to 0-9 and finished third in Dis-trict 6. The Rebels will host Highlands 7p.m. this Friday.

If Ryle was the biggest test left on Si-mon Kenton’s regular season slate, thePioneers passed with flying colors.

Simon Kenton beat Ryle 28-7, Fridaynight at Chlorine Menefee Stadium inIndependence. Ryle jumped on top 7-0early in the first quarter, but the Pio-neers scored 28 unanswered to remainunbeaten.

Ryle came into the game averaging41.8 points and 452.5 yards of offenseper game, but Simon Kenton’s defenseheld them scoreless for the final 45 min-utes of action after an early score. ThePioneers outgained the Raiders 396-337in total yardage.

The game was played at a breakneckpace as the two teams combined for 165plays. Ryle ran 95 of them, but SimonKenton’s defense was conditioned forthe challenge. Ryle’s offense made itlook easy on its opening possession. Ju-nior quarterback Tanner Morgan or-chestrated the no-huddle offense to per-fection as he led the Raiders on a speedy11-play, 76-yard drive that culminatedwith him throwing a 6-yard touchdownto Collin England to make it 7-0 less thanthree minutes into the game.

Morgan finished 28-of-58 for 259yards with an interception.

Ryle plays at Dixie Heights 7 p.m.Friday.

Q. My friend gave mesome pumpkins shecalled “pie pumpkins.” Ineed to know how to getthe flesh from them andwhat I can make.

A. Pie or sugar pump-kins are a variety ofwinter squash.

They are a small,orange variety and fa-vored for their smoothflesh and flavor.

To prepare the pump-kins wash the exteriorwell using a vegetablebrush to remove all soil.Cut the pumpkin in halfor quarters and removethe seeds and anystrings.

There are severalways to prepare thepumpkin from thispoint.

You can place the cutpieces on a baking sheetand bake them at 350degrees F for 45 min-utes to an hour or until

the flesh istender. Iusuallycover thebakingsheet withfoil orparchmentpaper tomakecleanupeasier.

You can also place thecut pieces in a large potwith about 2 inches ofwater in the bottom.Cover the pot, bring thewater to a boil andsteam the pumpkinpieces until they aretender.

You can also peel thepumpkin pieces andplace them in a micro-

wave safe containerwith a little water. Mi-crowave on high forabout 15 minutes, stir-ring the pumpkin two orthree times during thecooking process.

After cooking thepumpkin, if you did notpeel it prior to cooking,wait for the pieces tocool. Then scrape thepulp from the rind. Ifyou cooked the pumpkinwithout the peel you caneasily mash the pulp toyour desired consis-tency.

Mashed or pureedpumpkin can be used tomake pie, cake, bread,cookies or many otherfall treats.

It can even be used in

soup or added to yourfavorite chili or meatsauce recipe to enhancethe nutritional content.

Pumpkin puree mayalso be frozen for lateruse. P

lace a measuredamount into freezer safecontainers leaving ahalf-inch head space.Seal, label, date andfreeze.

Use the pumpkinwithin six months forthe best quality.

tree species. Sugar maple, red ma-

ple, dogwood, black gum,sweetgum, oak, white ashand sassafras trees pro-duce various shades ofred to purple fall color,since they all containreddish anthocyanincolor pigments in theirleaves. The more sun-shine a tree receives inthe fall, the more antho-cyanins are produced,and the more brilliant the

fall color. The best colorsusually develop whenautumn days are sunnyand cool, along withnights that are chilly butnot freezing.

Trees that containcarotenoid pigments, likecarotene, in their leavesprovide a range of or-ange and yellow colors.These include Tuliptree(tulip-poplar), birch,hickory, beech, greenash, honeylocust, walnut,

Question: I have beenwatching my ash andmaple trees turning colorover the past few weeks,but I have not noticedmuch additional color inthe leaves since the firstfrost. What else besides“Jack Frost” causes goodfall color?

Answer: All summerthe tree leaves remainedhidden beneath a greencloak, colored by theirgreen chlorophyll. But asfall continues, the paradeof brilliant tree leaf col-ors slowly puts on a spec-tacular show across Ken-tucky.

The fall colors havebeen in the leaves allalong, but they were

masked bychloro-phyll, agreen pig-ment thatcombineswith sun-light toproducefood in theform ofsugars fortreegrowth. It

might surprise you toknow that this rebirth ofcolor is caused by fewerhours of daylight, not“Jack Frost.” A “chem-ical clock” activated byshorter days tells trees toshut down chlorophyllproduction in prepara-

tion for winter. So in thefall, trees use chlorophyllfaster than it’s produced.This removes the greenmask and the brilliantfall color show begins.

Fall color peaks inmid-to-late October. Be-cause Kentucky has sucha diverse climate and soilcomposition, many treespecies common to bothnorthern and southernstates grow here. Thisprovides a variety of fallcolors for us to enjoy aswe walk or drive throughparks and national for-ests. Our nature sanctu-aries and arboretums,such as the Boone CountyArboretum in Union, ,also have many beautiful

hackberry, elm and lin-den.

Black gum, sumac,honeylocust, walnut andash trees shut down chlo-rophyll production arethe first to reveal theircolor.

As days get shorter inthe fall, this causes alayer of cork cells toform at the base of eachleaf, gradually closingoff the flow of water andminerals into the leaf.This causes the leaf toseparate from the twigand fall to the ground. Asleaves drop to theground, minerals previ-ously taken into trees arerecycled into the soil,improving its structure,drainage, aeration andnutrient holding capacity.The leaves decomposeand return nutrients togrowing plants and treesand add critical organicmaterials back to the soil.

THANKS TO KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM.

All summer the tree leaves remained hidden beneath a green cloak, colored by their greenchlorophyll. But as fall continues, the parade of brilliant tree leaf colors slowly puts on aspectacular show across Kentucky. This is Pisgah Presbyterian Church in Versailles.
