NEWYEAR,NEWYOUB1

In a world full of unknowns, there aredebates, legislativebattles,decisionsanddevelopment plans already expected tohappen in Campbell County in 2013.

Campbell County Public LibraryBoard of Trustees President RebeccaKelm said in November that a decisionand further discussion on plans to build afourth library in southern end of thecounty were not likely until early 2013.

JCMorgan, the library’s director, saidduring a Dec. 18 meeting of the libraryboard that therewasnothing to talkabouton the South Branch plans. Board mem-ber and capital campaign committee co-chair Paul Johnson said outreach to po-tential donors to raise money for the li-brary are ongoing.

Pensions/911 dispatchFixing the state pension system will

continue to be debated in the state legis-lature and is important because it in-volves the financial future of every localgovernment in Kentucky, said Campbell

County Judge-executive Steve Pendery.Pendery said he has a lengthy list of

items he wants to see accomplished orpush for in this year’s legislature includ-ingpursuinggiving local areas theoptionof having their own sales tax.

“People would vote on whether theywant a sales tax to support local pro-jects,” he said.

Pendery said the sales tax idea is nottied to the need for a new Brent SpenceBridge carrying the interstate over theOhio River.

“That’s actually a longer conversa-tion,” he said.

The 911 dispatching service in thecounty is also expected to be discussedsince the dispatch center is funded byfees on phone land lines, and not cellphones, he said.

“We’ve been left behind in two ways,”Pendery said. “You know we need to up-grade the system, but we also have to up-grade the way we pay for it.”

2012 that is carryingon into 2013 is the re-gion’s heroin epidemic,which is bringinglaw enforcement agencies and medicalprofessionals together in an effort to ad-

dress the problem.To combat the heroin

epidemic, the county hasbeen working behind thescenes on a partnershipwith law enforcement andother officials, Penderysaid. An announcement ofan idea formed from thatpartnership is planned pri-or to the state legislatureconvening Jan. 8, he said.

“We’re going to try toget a change made in thelaw tomake enforcement alittle easier,” Pendery said.

Bellevue Police ChiefWayne Turner said the her-oin epidemic is a problemthis isn’t going to just goaway.

In the new year, Turnersaid he hopes to see evenmore partnershipsthroughout the area be-tween police, communitymembers, the NorthernKentucky Drug StrikeForce and the NorthernKentucky Heroin ImpactCommittee to address theheroin issue.

“Weneedtocontinuethesuccesses we’ve had andlearn from our failures,”Turner said. “We reallyneed to focus our efforts tostop this epidemic.”

Turner said helping ad-dicts get treatment andstopping heroin supplierswill play a big part in ad-dressing this issue.

Development

In terms of local devel-opments, 2013 is lookinglike a big year for the Cityof Newport.

“2012 was a great yearforourcity,” saidCityMan-ager Thomas Fromme.“But, 2013 is definitely go-ing to be a big year for us.”

In the upcoming year,Fromme said residents canexpect to see more devel-opment in the Newport Pa-vilion, the ground-break-ing of a new high-end resi-dential building at the cor-ner of Fifth and Saratogastreets, and the opening ofthe Nth Degree Distilleryby the Party Source.

In Fort Thomas, CityAdministrator DonaldMartin said he expects tosee progress with the Vet-erans Administration (VA)homes in Tower Park.

For severalyears the fu-ture of the vacant formermilitary homes, which dueto a federal bill can only beboughtby thecity, hasbeenup in the air.

In mid-2012, the city putthe Alexander Circlehomes out to bid with aminimum price of$1,595,000 to cover the costto the city to purchase thehomes.

That minimum pricecoupledwith the additionalcosts developers would in-cur to restore the proper-ties in accordancewith his-toric preservation require-ments led to thecityreceiv-ing no bids.

Since then, the city hasbeen working with the VAto develop an agreementthat would make it morefeasible for developers totake on the project.

Martin said the city iscurrently waiting for theVA to finalize their reviewof the agreement, whichwillbesubmitted to thecityto go over any changes.

Once an agreement isreached, the project willonce again go to bid and thecitycanmoveforwardwiththe sale, Martin said.

FLORENCE — With a series ofclaps TimHanner, former super-intendent of Kenton CountySchools, calls the meeting to or-der.

He’s at the front of a class-roomatGatewayCommunityandTechnical College in Florencethat’s filled with student leadersfrom across Northern Kentucky.They’re a part of the NorthernKentuckyYouthAdvisoryBoard.

“It’s about empowering kids,”Hanner said. “We are going to theschools and working with admin-istrators to find a group of stu-dent leaders to empower them tomake a difference in theirschools.”

Student leaders from over 25NorthernKentucky high schools,about 100 in total, are part of theorganization. It’s been around forabout a year.

“I want them to know whathigh school students are capableof,” Hanner said, explaining thatthe Dec. 12 meeting bridges thegap between ideas and action.

Teens at the December meet-ing will be making waves in theTristate by participating in thephilanthropic Magnified Giving,

which gives local nonprofits anopportunity for grant money.

Groups choosing possible re-cipients focusedonorganizations

that help with hunger, homeless-ness and children’s issues inGreater Cincinnati.

“It’s all about researching and

learning about the nonprofit,”said Larry Tibbs, a retired DixieHeights High School teacher,adding this could include site vis-

its. “It’s forcing the kids to makethose decisions.”

After researching nonprofitgroups students will whittledown a list of those they want toask to apply for the grant. Thegroups will be contacted and gothrough a process of convincingstudentswhy they should receivethe funds.

Five hundred dollars is up forgrabs throughMagnified Giving,but students can give more. Theorganization will match up to$150 of extra funds if they can beraised, Tibbs said.

Using laptops, a computer laband smartphones teens at themeeting started to research pos-sible recipients.

“I chose hunger because I feellike that is a very basic issue,”Amy Kerdolff said. “If you’rehungry that affects everything inyour life.”

Kerdolff, a student at DixieHeights High School, said she’shappy tobeapart of theNorthernKentuckyYouthAdvisoryBoard.

“I feel like itgivesusanoppor-tunity to seewhat other teens aredoing,” she said. “It gives teensan opportunity to do somethinginstead of relying on adults.”

FORTTHOMAS—HighlandsMiddleSchool is looking to the community tohelp some of the school’s strugglingstudents.

The school is currently needs vol-unteers to participate in the Peak pro-gram, meant to increase motivationand improve math and reading skillsfor students working below theirgrade level.

The program began last year afterparent Kelly Kelso participated in afellowship with the CommonwealthInstitute of Parent Leadershipthrough the Prichard Committee.

In an effort to get more involvedwith the school, Kelso worked withteachers and administrators to designthe program.

“The goal is to help students whoneed an extra boost,” Kelso said.

Martha Coffman, one of the teach-ers involved in the program, said it’sdesigned to address students’ needson an individual basis by bringing vol-unteers from the community in towork one-on-one with each student.

Coffman said the volunteers comein once a week for 20-45 minutes andwork with their student.

“Just having someone being therefor themhelps the students,” Coffmansaid. “Thestudentsreallyworkharderand faster when the volunteers arehere.”

Currently, about85studentspartic-ipate in the program, Coffman said,but more volunteers are needed.

Volunteersmust be18 or older, sub-mit to abackgroundcheckandpartici-pate in a short training.

Having the program provides a lotof support for teachers, Coffman said.

Kelsosaidtheprogramhasbeenevenmore successful than she anticipated.

“The adults enjoy being in the pro-gram, the students are learning andthe teachers appreciate the extrahelp,”Kelso said. “This program is go-ing great from all sides.”

Volunteers can come in toworkwithstudents Monday through Friday dur-ing first period, lunch or sixth period.

With many kids enjoying theholiday at home, their parentsmay soon be wrestling with thequestion of the season, “naughty

or nice?” Inmaking thecalculationabout theirteenager’sbehavior, it’s agood questionand a fair point.The answer liesin the fact thatmuch of whatadolescentsthink and do, bydevelopmentaldesign, walks

the line between naughty andnice … or at least normal.

What does that mean?At a time of breathtaking

physical and psychosocial devel-opment, teens are charged withaccomplishing three criticaltasks: establishing an identity of

their own; becoming more in-dependent from their parents;and forging more adult-likerelationships with peers. In theaggregate, their progress onthese tasks forms a young per-son’s sense of self, a harbingerof decision-making, confidenceand overall mental health.

According toTeens Today re-search conducted by SADD (Stu-dents Against DestructiveDeci-sions), high Sense of Self (SOS)teens aremore likely to avoidalcohol and drug use, while lowSense of Self teens aremore likelyto use alcohol and "harder" drugssuch as ecstasy and cocaine. Inaddition, high SOS teens aremorelikely than their low SOS counter-parts to report feeling smart,successful, responsible and confi-dent. On themental health side ofthe ledger, low SOS teens aremorelikely than high SOS teens to re-port regular feelings of stress anddepression.

Significantly, there is a pa-rental overlay that offers guid-ance for moms and dads every-where. For example, 62 percentof teens with a high SOS reportthat their relationships withtheir parents make them feelgood about themselves, whileonly about one-third of low SOSteens report the same. In addi-tion, teens with a high SOS re-port overwhelmingly that theyfeel respected by their parents(93 percent) and close to theirparents (85 percent), while teenswith a low SOS report signifi-cantly different levels of re-spect (8 percent) and closeness(12 percent).

In other words, parents haveskin in the game!

Understanding the relationshipbetween each developmental taskand behavior likely to accompanyit is important, as is supporting theprogress of our teens on theirdevelopmental journey.

Identity: As young peopleseek to answer the question“Who am I?,” they regularly –and sometimes frequently – tryon different roles, which in turnchanges their behavior and maymake them appear to be “strang-ers” on any given day.

Independence: A drive to-ward independence dictates thatour teens push us away, or atleast hold us at arm’s length.Paradoxically, they need usmore now than at any other timeduring the lifespan besides earlyinfancy.

Peer Relationships: The peergroup is paramount, and teensoften filter through it what theyhear from us. Even so, we arethe No. 1 reason our teens makegood choices.

Parents can help their teensachieve a high Sense of Self by:

» Supporting a wide samplingof interests, activities and age-appropriate behaviors;

» Encouraging separation fromparents and age-appropriate inde-pendence in decision-making;

» Teaching peer-to-peer so-cial skills and facilitating (posi-tive) peer relationships;

» Focusing on productiveparent-teen communication.

Perhapsmost important, wecan remind each other that, inmanyways – andwithin limits –our adolescents are doingwhatthey are supposed to be doing.They’re not crazy (and neither arewe). In the end, they’re likely ahealthymix of naughty and nice.

As we celebrate the holidaysand ready for the new year, manyof us may find ourselves taking a

moment to recallthe positive thingsin our lives.

Statewide,there has beensome good news inrecent monthsworth noting. Thejob market overallis looking some-what better, withthe state’s un-employment ratedown, and we’re

working on improving the economyhere in our legislative district.

A national ranking this yearshowed us doing well among thestates in the number of new startupcompanies, and the news channelCNBC recently reported that Ken-tucky has the lowest cost of doingbusiness. Both of these point to apromising 2013.

Beyond our economy, good newscan be found at our schools aswell.Early this year, the respectedEduca-tionWeekmagazine put Kentucky14th among the states in its “QualityCounts” report, whichmeasuresacademic progress.

Our fourth-graders,meanwhile,are among the top10 states in readingfor that grade, and eighth-graders arejust behind them at12th for theirclass. In high school, we’ve seen thenumber of students taking and pass-ing the difficult Advanced Placementcourses almost double in the last fiveyears. These AP classes providecollege credit for students who scorehigh enough.

For farmers, it turned out thatthe past year was not as bad asonce feared when we were goingthrough the summer’s toughdrought. Overall commodity salesthis year are expected to be a rec-ord $5 billion, and University ofKentucky economists predict itcould rise as much as $600 millionnext year because of increaseddemand worldwide and high com-modity prices. With Kentuckyrelying more on farm exports thanmost other states, that trend isgood to hear.

Another positive trendwe’reseeing is the steep decline in the costof natural gas. TheKentucky PublicService Commission says that pricesare now at the lowest they’ve been in

a decade, and are 43 percent less thantheywere in 2008.

In addition to seeingmoremoneycome in, we’re also good at givingback, especially for those in need.According to the Chronicle of Philan-thropy, Kentucky is15th among thestateswhen it comes to charitablegiving.

In a related study done severalyears ago, researchers also found thatwe are neighborly aswell. It showedthat nine out of10 adults here saidthey had at least one other personthey could rely on outside of familyduring times of emergency, indicat-ing strong community ties.

As a nation, the past couple ofweeks have been especially trying,but in times like these, we alwaysseem to find away to reach out andhelp howeverwe can. Despite the evilthat we see all too often in theworld, Istill believe that there is farmore thatis good.

For now, I hope you have had agood holiday season with familyand friends, and that the upcomingyear turns out to be even better. Asyou may know, the 2013 legislativesession is set to begin on Jan. 8th,and while there will be no budgetto enact this time, there is still asizeable list of issues to cover.

EDGEWOOD—Alocaldi-etitian suggests ditchingthediet altogether if you’relooking to eat healthy in2013.

“I feel like the bottomline is just not starting adiet,” said Lindsey House,a weight management di-etitian at St. ElizabethHealthcare in Edgewood.“Look at it as lifelong be-haviors you want to startworking on.”

People often set unspe-cific weight loss andhealthy eating goals, fallshort and lose motivationto follow through.

“Different ways of get-

tingaround it is anexampleof setting a realistic goal,”House explained. “Insteadof saying ‘I’mgoing to go tothe gym’ and saying ‘I’mgoing to go for five times aweek,’ put on a pedometerand walk 10,000 steps (aday.)”

Don’t think of an eatingplan as deprivation, in-stead make it a positivechallenge.

“So (say) ‘I’m going tostrive to eat five servingsof fruits and veggies a day,’versus saying ‘I’m not go-ing to eat cookies anymoreor cut out pop,’” she said.

Food journals can keepyou on track and are acces-sible through phone appslike My Fitness Pal, be-

cause they encourageweight loss and keep usersin check.

Smaller, frequentmeals, can keep you fromovereating, House said.

“I think definitely thepurposeful snacks andmeals are helpful,” shesaid. “Remove triggertypes of food from yourhouse so you aren’t tempt-ed by foods that are diffi-cult to steer clear of.”

Focus on making overthe refrigerator withhealthy proteins like leanmeats, fruits and vegeta-bles.

Finally, be patient.“Small changes make a

huge difference,” Housesaid.

Ditch the diet in 2013

Eating a variety of healthy foods such as lean meats, fruits and vegetables will help youkeep off weight and keep on track with a healthy eating plan, explained Lindsey House, aweight management dietician at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Edgewood. FILE PHOTO

Make your eating plan a positive challengeBy Libby CunninghamLcunningham@nky.com

FLORENCE—LoisMul-likin of Florence didn’t in-tend to stop smoking af-ter 46 years, but taking a13-weekclassandsupportgroup with her daughterprovided her needed en-couragement to kick thehabit in October 2011.

The free Cooper-Clay-ton Smoking CessationClasses are offered in-person and via the Inter-net via online chats by theNorthern Kentucky Inde-pendent District HealthDepartment.

“It was really kind offunny because Iwent intothis class basically be-cause Iwantedmydaugh-ter to quit smoking,” saidMullikin. “And it wasreally more of if I tell herI’ll do this maybe she’llquit smoking with me.”

Mullikin said shefound the support, andgood habits to replacesmoking including goingfor a walk or eating pret-zels when cravings arose.

“I always felt that Ihad somebody who waskind of counting on menot to smoke, and I thinkthatwas theonething thatgot me through this classthat there was somebodyelse there strugglingwiththe exact same situation Iwas,” she said.

Mullikin said herdaughter didn’t stop

smoking, but knowssmoking is a personal de-cision. Prior to taking theclass, Mullikin said shewasn’t sure she wanted togive up cigarettes be-cause it is something shedid all the time. Shesmoked about two packsand spent about $8 a day.

In-person smokingcessation classes meetonce a week for 13 weeks,and are on a rotationschedule at different lo-cations within the healthdistrict, said Megan Fol-kerth, a seniorhealthedu-cator with the health dis-trict’s tobacco program.

The next class willmeet at the Grant CountySchools Board of Educa-tion in Williamstown at 1p.m. eachThursday start-ing Jan. 3. The next roundof classes starting inApril will meet in Boone,Kenton and Campbellcounties, Folkerth said.

The next online coursestarts Jan. 17. There willbe live chat sessions oncea week from 5:30 to 6:30p.m. on Thursday eve-nings, she said.

“It essentially func-tions thesameexcept thatit’s on the website insteadof meeting in person,”Folkerth said.

Either version of theclass includes discus-sions about how to usenicotine replacementproducts, and findingnewways to dealwith andstop the triggers forwanting to smoke includ-ing incorporating physi-cal activity in life, shesaid.

“So, we talk aboutsome healthy snacks andhaving some preparedthings ready to grab in-stead of grabbing a bag ofpotato chips,” Folkerthsaid. The only cost of theclasses is for any nicotinereplacement product,which is typically aboutthe same as how much aperson spends on smok-ing, she said.

The health depart-ment often sees a “largeuptick” of people takingthe classes at the begin-ning of each year becauseof New Year’s resolu-tions, Folkerth said.

Smokers who quit canreduce their chance ofheart attack, stroke andvarious types of cancer –especially lung cancer,she said.

“Obviously, the sooneryou quit the more bene-fits you’re going to see,”Folkerth said.

CRESTVIEWHILLS—Anold Nike slogan makes fora great philosophy whenembarking upon a journeytoward physical fitness,according to Toni Schklar.

“AsNike states, ‘Just doit!’” said Schklar, managerand practitioner for St.Elizabeth’sHolisticHealthCenter in Crestview Hills.“Make the decision to be-gin today and initiate ac-tion now.”

She suggests beginningwith physician support toreduce risk of injury, andenhancesuccess.Next, putyourself on your calendarevery day. Make four ofthose days a fitness activ-ity. Begin small and incre-mentally increase effort.

“Select a fitness regimethat fits you,” she said.“Look at your personallikes and dislikes. Are youa club membership per-son, a solo exerciser,equipment user, or naturewalker?Do you have a pre-dictable schedule or doyou need a fitness activitythat can flex with yourvariable work hours?”

When consideringequipment she warns topurchase only that whichyou’re certain you’ll use.Unusedequipment, sheex-plained, becomes a dailyguilt reminder of what youaren’t doing.

PamWesterman, ownerof Curves in Florence, saidencouragement is a key fu-eling point.

“Find others who willkeep you accountable,”she said. “Find a goodworkout partner, diet part-ner, or even a coach. Also,it’s important to encourageyourself. Each time youmeet a goal, celebrate.”

A common roadblock,according to Rob Beil, di-rector of operations andpartner at BetterBodies inFort Mitchell, is not set-ting a timetable to accom-

plish one’s goals.“You should set a start

and an ending, and be real-istic,” he said. “A lot oftimes it takes 12 months torealistically change yourlifestyle.”

Dedication to yourselfis the strongest asset onecan have, he said.

“Everybody canachieve their goals ifthey’re dedicated,” Beilsaid. “The biggest thing isliving healthy – it’s not aresolution, but a lifestyle.”

All three fitness ex-perts agree that keeping ajournal is an importantpart of any fitness regi-men. Writing down yourgoals, experiences, andeating habits allows forevaluation.

“Evaluate your effortsthrough a loving lens,”Schklar said. “Constantself-criticism is a setup forfailure. Modify your regi-me to keep you stimulatedand invested. If whatyou’re doing isn’t working,change it, don’t stop.”

Setbacks sometimeshappen, she said, but it’s noexcuse to quit.

“Every mistake, set-back is an opportunity tolearn something that canbe applied to moving for-ward again,” she said. “Be-coming fit takes self-ini-tiative, determination, for-mulation of new habits,and commitment to livelife as if it is a marathonand not a sprint. Fitness isan investment in self.”

Among the food trendsfor 2013 are, believe it ornot, duck eggs.

Whenwe had ducks, theeggsmade it to our table inmany recipes. According toBon Appetit, chefs aremoving out of the hen

house andditchingchickeneggs fortheir largerand tastiersiblings:duck eggs.RestaurantsfromVen-ice, Calif., toCambridge,Mass., are

incorporating them intotheirmenu. SomeWholeFoodsMarkets sell themand I have found them atfarmers’ markets.

This is good news forBill andMaria Krusling,my sister-in-law Claire’sniece and her family. Ma-ria and Bill have a farm inAlbany, Ohio, near Athens,and they have a flock of450 golden 300 hybridducks. Bill andMaria willbe selling duck eggs. Theyalso have sheep, cattle,chickens, and herding andsheep dogs. Bill is devel-oping a recipe for highquality raw dog food tosell, as well. With their

girls, Rachel and Isabella,they are what I call true“back-to-the-landers” andalways have the mostinteresting, and unique,stories to tell about theirway of living.

As far as other trendsfor the new year, chefs arediscovering what some ofus have used and loved foryears, like cauliflower andeven grapefruit. Brazilianfood made the list (it isinfluenced by the Portu-guese, African, Lebaneseand German cuisines, soyou know it’s good) and sodid the spice sumac andDIY yogurt (yep, staplesin my Lebanese kitchen).My step-by-step recipewith photos for homemadeyogurt is on my blog.

As far as technique goes,pan roasting is going to bebig. That’s when you startsomething on top of thestove in an ovenproof panand finish it off in the oven.

MoreDIY condimentsinclude sriracha,mayo,horseradish andmustard.GeneGoldschmidt, our ownmustard and horseradishking here in the Tristate, hasbeen elevating these twohumble condiments intogourmet treats for a longtime.We enjoy eating themoremild horseradishleaves and flowers along

with the pungent root. Checkoutmyblog for his tips andrecipes alongwith areavendors.

Roasted chicken,cauliflower andcarrots with Biblespices

Yummy! For the North-ern Kentucky and DelhiTownship readers whowanted more high-heatrecipes for chicken andveggies. Adapted fromMartha Stewart using twoof my favorite Biblespices. I keep tweakingthis, sometimes usingmore coriander than cu-min, and vice versa. Thecoriander has a lemony/sagey taste and is anti-inflammatory. Cumin hasan earthy, distinctiveflavor and enhances theimmune system. Do thesniff and taste test oncoriander as it loses itsflavor fairly quickly in thepantry. Both carrots andcauliflower are full ofantioxidants, and thechicken is a good proteinsource. After the dish isdone, taste and, if youwant, sprinkle on a bitmore seasonings.

1pound carrots, peeled, ifnecessary, and cut into

large chunks1nice head cauliflower,about 4 cups florets

2 teaspoons groundcoriander and1tablespoon cuminmixedtogether

Olive oilAbout 3 pounds your choicechicken pieces, leavebones in and skin on (welike thighs and legs)

Salt and freshly groundpepper

Lemonwedges

Preheat oven to 475degrees. Combine veggiesand chicken pieces. Coatlightly with olive oil. Spraya large, shallow roastingpan, big enough for every-thing to fit in single layer.Chicken should be skinside up. Sprinkle all withcoriander/cumin mixture,salt and pepper. Roast,

stirring veggies once, untilchicken is done and veg-gies are cooked, about40-45 minutes. Chickenwill be beautifully crisp ontop. Serve with pan juicesand a couple of lemonwedges to squirt on.

Homemade srirachasauce

I found a couple of nicerecipes for this and linkedthem onmy blog (cincin-nati.com/blogs). RachelJepsonWolf’s recipe useshoney. Erin Wyso’s veganblog contains one withpalm sugar.

With post-holiday billsarriving, many of us wishwe could find money welost, forgot about or didn’tknow we had. Finding lostvaluables, such as insur-ance policies and un-claimed money or proper-ty is easier than you mightthink.

The Kentucky StateTreasury has more than$150 million in unclaimedproperty and money.Banks, insurance compa-nies and other financialentities turn this moneyover to the treasury whenthey cannot locate theowners. You can searchfor any unclaimed valu-ables on the KentuckyState Treasury’s website,www.kytreasury.com. Thewebsite has informationabout how to claim anylost property that you mayfind. If you have no In-ternet access, you canrequest a search by con-tacting the treasury at1-800-465-4722. If you havelived in other states, youwill want to check in eachof those states, too.

If you think you mayhave unclaimed valuablesin another state or have anunclaimed tax refundfrom the federal govern-ment, you can search forthat money on eithermissingmoney.com orwww.unclaimed.org.These free sites can con-nect you with the state andnational organizationsholding unclaimed proper-ty. When using these sites,be sure to look for allvariations of your name.

Insurance companiesoften have many un-claimed life insurancepolicies because the bene-ficiaries do not know thepolicies exist. Insurancecompanies are not obligat-ed to turn this money overto a government agencyunless they know the poli-cyholder is deceased.Unfortunately, no nationaldatabase exists to keeptrack of unclaimed lifeinsurance policies.

You canfind outaboutwhetheryou’relisted as abeneficiaryon a lifeinsurancepolicy bygoingthrough thedeceased

person’s paperwork tolook for any insurancepolicies or transactions,such as a statement, bill orinterest paid on a recenttax return. Speak with thedeceased person’s finan-cial advisers and employ-

ers to determine if theyhad any knowledge of anylife insurance policies thatthe person may have had.Check the deceased indi-vidual’s mail for up to ayear for any policy state-ment or bill.

Whether you decide tolook for lost property ornot, you may be contactedby someone who wants tohelp you find lost moneyfor a fee or a percentageof the lost property. These“money finders” are notillegal, but the servicesthey provide are thingsyou can find on your ownfor free with just a littleeffort and time.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

Question: I recentlymoved to the NorthernKentucky area from outeast. What tips can yougive me for successfultree, lawn and garden carein this area?

Answer: Thisis a chance foryou to “wipe theslate clean” ofpast gardeningmistakes, learnin the presentand create afuture of suc-cessful garden-ing and land-scaping in North-ern Kentucky!Here are “5 Gardener’sResolutions to Live By.”

1. I will NOT prunetrees or shrubs in the fall,since this is a harmfulpractice which leads tomore winter damage. IWILL prune spring-bloom-ing ornamental trees andshrubs within two weeksafter their flowers dropoff in the spring. I willprune true pines in June,but other evergreens likespruce, juniper, fir, arbor-vitae and yews in earlyMarch, along with sum-mer-blooming trees andshrubs (like Rose-of-Shar-on, Annabelle Hydrangeaand Goldenraintree).

2. When I do prune

trees, I will NOT leavebranch stubs, I willnot top trees or paysomeone else to topthem, and I will notapply “pruning paint”or “wound dressing”to cut surfaces, sincethese practices lead toweaker branch attach-ment, internal woodand trunk decay,sunscald, frost cracks,

poor wound closure, andincreased tree disease andinsect attack in futureyears, greatly shorteningthe life of the tree. I WILLmake proper pruning cuts,just outside the “branchcollar” (swelling where abranch attaches), or willhire an I.S.A. Certifiedarborist to do the pruningfor me.

3. I will NOTmulch to adepth greater than 3 inchesaround trees (smothers theroots), and will not do “vol-canomulching” or even letthemulch touch the trunkof trees, since that leads tobark decay and vole dam-age to the bark.

4. I will NOT try to stop

moles using grub controlchemicals, poison peanuts,broken glass, chewing gum,exhaust gas or spinningwindmills, since none ofthesemethods work. IWILL usemole traps, setfrom 4-6 p.m., or usemolerepellents likeMole-Med orMole-Exit, or use provenproducts such as TomCatMole Killer with Talpirid.

5. I will NOT apply limeor wood ashes to my gar-den, lawn or landscapeunless I know the soil pHis too low, since theseproducts both raise thesoil pH and can makesome nutrients unavail-able to the plant at highpH levels. I WILL utilizethe free soil testing ser-vices of my local NorthernKentucky Extension Ser-vice office to find outwhether or not I need toadd lime, sulfur, phospho-rus or potassium.

If you will follow theseguidelines in 2013, you andyour landscape will be offto a good start.

With interest rates atrecord low levels, youneed to be wary of com-panies’ emails and let-ters claiming you’repre-approved for a muchlower interest rate onyour car loan.

Many scam artistsare turning from thehomemortgage marketto auto refinancing andclaiming they can dropyour payments by hun-dreds of dollars. But youneed to do a lot of re-search before rushinginto any such deal.

A friend of minereceived a letter sayingher current interest rateof 13.55 percent on hercar loan could be cutdramatically. The lettersaid the company has“Pre-qualified you from$7,500 to $33,000 to refi-nance your vehicle witha rate as low as 3.99percent.”

My friend liked theidea, especially theclaim that dropping herinterest rate could savehundreds of dollars onher auto loan. However,after filling out a lot ofpapers and having hercredit score checked, theinterest rate quoted herwas higher than 3.99percent.

While the deal wouldstill save her money, Isuggested she firstcheck with her localcredit union. She found anearby credit union andwas told if she joins, forjust a few dollars, shecould get a loan with aneven lower interest rate.

The company thatsent her the refinancingoffer didn’t mention anadvance fee for the loan,but many other lendershave large up-front fees.The Better BusinessBureau suggests youhave the company pro-posing the refinancing

disclose,in writing,all theservicesit’s per-forming,howmuchit will cost,terms ofrefundsand anymoney-

back guarantees.The BBB says you

need to be as carefulabout these refinancingbrokers as you wouldany others touting them-selves as instant credit-fixers.

My friend was alsoattracted by the lowermonthly payments thatcame with longer lend-ing periods. While it’strue the longer the loanrepayment period thesmaller the payments,you need to be careful.

My friend’s car isalready more than a yearold and she was consid-ering taking out a newauto loan for a five-yearperiod. I cautioned heragainst such a long loanbecause a lot of thingscan go wrong with thevehicle during that timeand she could end uppaying on the loan eventhough she no longerowns the car.

Bottom line, if you’vegot an auto loan with ahigh interest rate, itcould pay you to contacta credit union and see ifyou qualify for a lowerrate. These are veryunusual times with rec-ord low interest ratesand, if you qualify, youcould save yourself a lotof money.
