UNION — What do yougetwhenyoucrossaspoolof fishing line and a reus-able water bottle?

Many people wouldendupwithaknotted, tan-gled mess, but MattGrimes of Union took theidea to create a new prod-uct that lets folks fishany-time and anywhere.

Grimes has createdReel Cool Fishing Bottles,a hybrid water bottle andfishing gear.

Grimes, who also owns

Colonial Cottage in Er-langer, said when he wenton a family trip toMexicoa fewyears ago, he saw lo-cals fishing with lineswrapped around drinkbottles.

He later led a BoyScout sea-based expedi-tion in theBahamas. Theywould get off the boat andswim ashore, carryingwith them water bottlesand, for thosewho liked tofish, a Cuban hand line, ora spool of fishing line.

“I started thinking,‘Why do we need to carryboth of these things?’”

Grimes said.When he got home,

Grimes worked to createa prototype and took hisidea to a few people. Hethen had a model made inCincinnati and found amold maker in Louisville.

“It’s not intended to re-place a rod and reel,”Grimes explained.

The use, instead, is for“when it’s not convenientto carry a rod,” for exam-ple if someone is back-packing, rafting, kayak-ing or bicycling.

The fishing bottlelooks like a typical waterbottle, with fishing linewrapped around a grooveat the bottom.

“If you’re going on anadventure, you alwayshave a water bottle, butyou can’t always carry afishing rod,” he said.“This allows you to haveboth a means to fish andrefreshment.”

Grimessays it alsopro-vides fishermen a chanceto “battle fish,manoyma-no.”

“Until you’ve battled afish and drug it in withjust your hands, you don’tknow what it’s like to bat-tle,” he laughs.

Grimes saidUnionBoyScout troopswillbeoutfit-ted with the bottle – onegroup will be doing a sea-based trip and the other,

along with the affiliatedventures crew, will headto Minnesota.

The fishing bottle is a

product of Grimes’ BigBone Outdoors company.

According to Grimes,it’s taken two years to getto thispoint.Thefirstpub-lic demonstration will beat the Kids’ Fishing Der-by, from 9 a.m. until noonSaturday, June 1, at Mid-dleton-Mills Park, 3415Mills Road, Covington.

“It’s important to havepassions in life,” Grimessaid, “and I have three –family, food and adven-tures.”

Delaney to lead teacher discussionsUNION — Longbranch Ele-

mentary first-grade teacherKim Delaney believes it is “im-portant for teachers to have avoice in education issues.”

That’s why she’s “excitedand proud” to serve as a HopeStreet Group Teacher Fellow.Hope Street Group is a nationalnonprofit organization knownfor its teacher engagementwork. This year, 21 educators

were chosen from about140 ap-plicants to help voice teacheropinions from across the stateon reform efforts.

“Teachers are experts ineducation and it’s importantthat we take an active role inchanges that take place in edu-cation and do so in the best in-terest of our students,” Dela-ney said.

Delaney, who has beenteaching for10 years, also has anursing degree and hasworkedwith children for 20 years at

NorthKey Community Care.She works at NorthKey part-time.

“It can be a challenge, butboth jobs are important,” shesaid. “Our children are our fu-ture and should be given everyopportunity to be successful.Education is key to improving achild’s quality of life. It’s hardtomeet their educational needsuntil their psychological andemotional needs are met.”

She said her love for chil-dren and her respect for her

fellow teachers within theBoone County School Districtprompted her to apply for thefellowship.

As part of the fellowship,Delaney will facilitate the en-gagement of other teachersthroughout the area on the im-plementation efforts of Race tothe Top with Common Core.

“This collaborative programwill support and reinforce ourstrategic work around educa-tor effectiveness with the ulti-mate goal of ensuring all Ken-

tucky students graduate fromhigh school college and careerready,” Kentucky EducationCommissioner Terry Holliday.

In addition to facilitatingdiscussion among teachers, fel-lows will meet directly withleading policymakers to helpthemunderstand teacherviewsand to present teacher-generat-ed solutions around educatorevaluation systems.

SIDELINES

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Northern Kentucky Universitywent north for its new athleticdirector June 26, as the Norselook to continue rising in theranks of NCAADivision I. NKUhired veteran administratorKen Bothof to be its permanentAD, replacing Scott Eaton.

Bothof comes to NKU fromthe University of Wisconsin-GreenBay,where he has servedas athletic director since 2002.Green Bay is in the HorizonLeague, one of the NCAA’s topmid-major conferences.

“WhatKen has accomplishedatGreenBay is remarkable, andNKU’s transition to Division Ihas gone much more smoothlythan we anticipated, and nowwith Ken on our team, we knowour best days lie ahead,” saidNKU President GeoffreyMearns.

MearnssaidBothoffitseverycrucial criteria that an athleticdirector needs, including hiringand mentoring coaches, manag-ing facilities and compliance ef-forts, and raising revenue.

“He’s a very capable leaderand he will bring the class thatwe want everyone associatedwith our program to have,”Mearns said. “We had a strongpoolofapplicants, includingsev-eral sitting ADs. The high qual-ity of that pool reflects our rep-utation.”

Bothofwas one of three final-ists who were brought to cam-pus last week for private inter-views and public forums withthe community.TheotherswereUniversity of North Carolinasenior associate athletic direc-tor Karlton Creech and Univer-sity of Northern Iowa senior as-sociate athletic director JeanBerger.

Bothof officially takes overAug. 19.

“Duringmyvisits here, I wastruly inspiredbythepassionandthe pride that was displayed atNKU and by NKU’s commit-ment to the complete student-athlete experience,” Bothofsaid. “I truly believe there’s agreat foundation that has beenlaid upon which we can build apositive culture that we can allbe proud of.”

At Green Bay, Bothof was in-strumental in raising $11millionin private funds to complete a$33 million renovation and ex-pansion of the Phoenix SportsCenter. He also developed anoutdoor facilities plan that in-cludes new soccer and softballfacilities, as well as expandedrecreational and intramural op-portunities. Basketball hasflourished at Green Bay, andduring his tenure, Phoenix stu-dent-athletes have earned acumulative grade point averageof3.0orhigher ineachof the last23 semesters.

Bothof has been heavily in-volvedinleadershipcommitteesin the Horizon League, and andalsoworkedatSaintLouis, IdahoState and San Jose State.

NKU will soon begin its sec-ond year at theNCAADivision Ilevel. Last year, theNKUvolley-ball teampostedarecordof25-7,including a 12-6 mark in the A-

Sun. NKU’s 25 wins were themost ever by a volleyball pro-gram in its first year of reclassi-fication fromDivision II toDivi-sion I. The women’s basketballteam finished15-13 and earned aberth in theWomen’sBasketballInvitational postseason tourna-ment. The men’s basketballteam led the Atlantic Sun inhome attendance with an aver-age of 3,551 per game. Theschool’s student athletes haveposted a cumulative GPA of 3.0or greater during six of the lastseven semesters.

Bothof said he was attractedto move from Green Bay by thesize of NKU’s student body(16,000) and Mearns’ vision forthe future.

“One thing I canassureyou iswewill continue to stress the im-portance of having NKU be aleader in the classroom and incompetition,” Bothof said.

Mearns, NKU’s first-yearpresident ended a process thatbegan with the dismissal inMarch of former athletic direc-tor, Scott Eaton. An ongoing in-vestigation into Eaton’s activ-ities has revealed inappropriaterelationships with women, in-cluding one student, andmisuseof funds. Eaton, a long-time ad-ministrator at NKU, helped leadthe transition into Division I.

A8 • FLORENCE RECORDER • JULY 4, 2013

America, sweet land of liberty“We hold these truths to be

self-evident, that all men arecreated equal, that they areendowed by their Creator withcertain unalienable Rights,that among these are Life,Liberty and the pursuit ofHappiness.” – Thomas Jef-ferson

When Thomas Jeffersonfirst penned that phrase aspart of our Declaration of In-dependence, it represented anew way of life for those whohad been opposed throughtyranny and “taxation withoutrepresentation.” On July 4,1776, members of the FirstContinental Congress set intomotion the establishment of afree nation, a government forthe people, by the people.

As we gather here in BooneCounty with family and friendswe are united with collectivecelebrations taking placeacross America. Flags waving,the brilliance of fireworksacross the night sky, it is worthremembering that all the cele-

brations of thisday are rootedin history. It’srecorded thatshortly afterthe Declara-tion of Inde-pendence wassigned in Phil-adelphia, cele-brations tookplace acrossthe land. Manyof the former

colonists, who were just start-ing to call themselves Amer-icans, set off cannons andmarched to fife and drum.

Earlier in IndependenceHall, 56 men came forward tosign that piece of parchment.They pledged their lives, theirfortunes, and their sacredhonors. And it was more thanrhetoric; for each of those menknew the penalty for hightreason to England and thecrown. “We must all hang to-gether,” Benjamin Franklinsaid, “or, assuredly, we will all

hang separately.”They were brave, even

through all the bloodshed ofthe coming years. Their cour-age created a nation built on auniversal claim to human dig-nity, on the proposition thatevery man, woman, and childare endowed by their Creatorwith the rights of liberty andfreedom.

I am humbled to be a directdecendent of several of thosefirst brave Americans. Theirstories have always inspiredme. After the Revolution,granted land for their serviceto our new nation, they settledin ‘Kain-tuck-ee’ based on aword in the Iroquois languagethat means ‘meadow land’, andwhich at the time was a countyof Virginia. They named theirfirst-born daughter “America,”a very popular name at thetime.

As we join in our 4th of Julycelebrations today we arepassing on to our children andtheir children’s children the

hope and vision of our forefa-thers and the founders of ourcountry, the hope that is Amer-ica and the gift of liberty.

Jefferson wrote in a corre-spondence with his co-signerof the Declaration of Inde-pendence, “to the times when,beset with difficulties anddangers, we were fellow labor-ers in the same cause, strug-gling for what is most valuableto man, his right to self-gov-ernment.

We are woven into the fab-ric of American history. It fallsto us to keep faith, united withour founders and all the greatAmericans of our past, bothwell known and not so known,and with every man and wom-an in uniform who have sacri-ficed to make sure the free-doms our forefathers spelledout in the Declaration of Inde-pendence remain strong andtrue for everyone.

“Have a Grand 4th! MayGod Bless America, SweetLand of Liberty!”

Rep. Addia Wuchner, R-Florence, isa member of the Kentucky House ofRepresentatives.

Every time I turn on theradio or television or pick up anewspaper I read anotherarticle about the thousands ofpages of proposed legislationto deal with illegal immigra-tion. It amazes me that a coun-try with the most sophisti-cated technology in the worldcannot track down illegals anddeal with the problem.

Perhaps if the members ofCongress; liberals, conserva-tives, libertarians, and what-ever term they adopt forthemselves were to sit downand apply some common sensethey could deal with immigra-tion pretty quickly. It mayeven be easier if the membersof Congress were less inter-ested in free television timeand more time in doing the jobthey were elected to do.

For instance, it is reportedthat since the immigrationreform of the 1980s millions ofillegals have entered the Unit-ed States. There is a suspicionor belief many of these indi-viduals, their children andother family members. arereceiving various forms ofpublic assistance. Those in thebuilding trades say withoutreform that legitimizes theirillegal entry the industry willbe in peril. Those in the res-taurant and agricultural indus-try are trying to make thesame argument.

The most liberal, pro-demo-cratic labor force in the coun-try, the SEIU, is running adssaying the proposed reform isgood for America. These arethe same people who support-ed the Affordable Care Act,commonly referred to as Oba-macare, which is not afford-able and is in fact a tax in-crease on every Americanfamily.

The last thing Congressneeds to do is pass legislationlike the current immigrationreform measure that spends$1.4 billion on youth employ-ment jobs. Congress needs tolearn that every bill it passescannot include a governmentjob creation bill. If an amend-

ment like thisone is offeredby the social-ist member ofthe Senatefrom Vermont,Bernie Sand-ers, everyresponsiblemember of theSenate shouldvote no.

Let’s call onCongress to

take some simple steps to stopillegal immigration by adopt-ing legislation that says docu-mentation and forms for allpublic subsidies will be print-ed in English. If one of thequalifiers for public assis-tance is being a U.S. citizen,and one pre-emptor to citi-zenship is the ability to readand speak the English lan-guage, it stands to reason ifwe stop printing federal docu-ments in multiple languageswe save on printing costs andeliminate the likelihood ofapplication for assistance.

Secondly, Congress needsto strictly enforce the lawsalready on the books. Moststates require auto insuranceto operate a motor vehicle;they have laws against drivingunder the influence; and thepossession of controlled sub-stances is a violation of statelaw. When illegals are convict-ed of these crimes or any oth-er crimes they need to betaken into federal custodywithout delay, upon convic-tion, and deported. Individualswho are already here illegallyand continue to break the lawsof the land, the governmentshould deport them immedi-ately.

These are just two simpleissues Congress could dealwith that won’t take thousandsof pages of bureaucratic bab-ble or 15 federal attorneys tointerpret. Let’s start small andfix the problem through com-mon sense solutions.

The progressive side oftrash

I would like to express mygratitude to Mayor Don Kirbyfor staying on the progressiveside of trash. I am constantlydismayed to see how little myneighborhood recycles. WhileI loveseeingthe littleredbinsIwould prefer to see the largeronesbe thenorm insteadof theexception.

Evidently, the tipping feesare not great enough in orderto make people realize that wecannot just keep consumingand throwing our lives into atrash bin. It all has to end upsomewhere. I rarely use mytrash can butmy recycling binis always overflowing. I wouldactually love to have two.

Between my compostingand recycling there is littleneed for my giant trash can. Ialsoput all greenyardwaste inpaper bags. That way they cango to the landfill but will even-tually break down becausethey are not contained in a bagmade of petrochemicals thatwill not break down.

Having lived in other com-munities where they wereproactive in recycling and onstreet composting I find thatBoone County has a long, longway to go. I have also seenpeo-ple put things in the trash here

that would never be allowed inmore progressive states.

In some states, your greenwaste must be put in paperbags, then they shred it andleave it at various communitywork lots and not only can theresidents get free mulch, thecity does not have to pay tomulch all the common areassince it is justre-usingwhatwehave put on the curb.

So even though it might notbe popular right now I want tothank the mayor for stickingup for those who actually be-lieve thatwehavean impactonour environment and try anddo what little we can to reduceit.

Mistreatment of God’screatures

To the uncaring slime ballthatdroppedafrightened littleblack and white beagle mixdog on Idlebrook Lane in Bur-lingtonaround10a.m.Wednes-day, June 20.

Several workmen saw yourwhite vehicle as you came to astop and put a beautiful littlefrightened dog out of your car.I wonder why you didn’t takehim to the animal shelter. Atleast therehewouldhavehadachance of being adopted and

cared for. But you didn’t givehim a chance. Why?

Four neighbors tried forover 45minutes to get this pre-cious little dog to come to oneof us so we could care for him.He was so afraid of humansthat he would not come evenforadoggie treatorasipofwa-ter. How could you have mis-treated such a wonderful littlething that only wanted to beloved but you made him soafraid of humans he would noteven come close to us.

This frightened little thingwandered off into the woods. Ihope you think of him often,alone in the woods, hungry,thirsty and frightened for thelast few days of his life.

Whatever made you everthinkyoucouldbeapetowner?

You are a coward and a low-life. I would love to meet youface to face but I’m sure youwould never stand up like aman. If you even know how toread, I doubt that you wouldever read a letter to the editorbecause you are so self-cen-teredyouonlycareaboutyour-self and have no feelings foranyone or anything else. Oneday you will be held account-able for the way you havemis-treated one ofGod’s creatures.

CRESTVIEWHILLS— In herbackyard in Crestview Hills,CarleenWehage turned a fau-cet handle and water pouredinto her watering can. But thefaucet wasn’t connected to apipe, it was sticking out of abrown plastic barrel.

“I had seriously consideredgetting a rain barrel,” she re-called as she sprinkled thewater on her flowers. She final-ly got one last year as a birth-day present from her grand-son. “And I have thoroughlyenjoyed it.”

Her grandson, Brian Gurley,and his wife have benefitedfrom two rain barrels at theirhouse. Each holds 60 gallonsand collects rainwater fromtheir roof, which they use forlandscaping.

“We had them refill at least10 times last year,” he shared.“That’s 600 gallons of water foreach barrel. That’s a lot ofwater.”

Gurley is enthusiastic about

water conservation. He and anold friend, Brad Knochel-mann, give talks at local li-braries and garden clubs,hoping to raise people’s aware-ness.

“Everybody can make aconscious effort to think abouttheir consumption,” Knochel-mann explained, for example“brushing your teeth and hav-ing the water running whenyou can simply turn it off.”

A recent study by ColumbiaUniversity Water Center, wa-ter services provider VeoliaWater, and the collaborativeGrowing Blue highlights therisks of water scarcity acrossthe U.S. as climate changeincreases the potential fordrought.

It was in 2010 when Gurleyand Knochelmann were in-spired to do more. Knochel-mann was taking classes at theChicago Center for GreenTechnology where he learnedabout green resources such assolar panels and vegetativeroofs.

Gurley would visit him and

they would talk about whatKnochelmann had learned. “Isaid ‘As soon as you move backhere, Brad, we have to dosomething green’,” Gurleyrecalled.

Two years ago they started abusiness selling rain barrels

and providing related ser-vices. They have around 500customers so far.

“It’s a hobby that’s turnedinto business,” Knochelmannsaid. The products they sell,made from recycled materi-als, are locally produced.

The U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency points out thatlawn and garden watering canaccount for nearly 40 percent oftotal household water use duringthe summer. A rain barrel canhelp reduce the water bill, espe-cially during periods of drought.It also helps decrease the impactof runoff to streams and san-itary sewers.

“We’re not in this for money,”Gurley pointed out. “Money isthe byproduct of what we’redoing, but the big thing is aware-ness and education.”

Wehage added, “People aregetting more and more awareabout using our resources wise-ly.”

I’m so excited I canhardly contain myself.For a while now I havebeen yearning to getbeehives. We had themwhen the boys were littleand the taste of raw hon-ey, with its super nutri-

tional pro-file, hadme hooked.

TonyPoe, ourlocal bee-keeper,came outto our littlepatch ofheaven tosee if hisbees could

make a happy home here.Our neighbors haveagreed to have the hivesalong the property line sothey will be protected.I’ll let you know what thefinal assessment is.Here’s hoping…

Cyndi’s porcupinemeatballs

Last month I did acooking demo withfriends GiovannaTrimpe, author of “HolyChow,” and Annie Mitch-ell, news director at Sa-cred Heart Radio, at theCincItalia festival atHarvest Home Park.Annie made these deli-cious meatballs as anappetizer. No kidding,these are simple andreally good. Annie toldme she grew up withthese meatballs that hermom, Cyndi, made forthem.

“It’s one of my favor-ite meals from childhooduntil now. We eat themwith mashed potatoesand succotash,” she toldme.

I love the fact thatthese are versatile: Makethem small for appetiz-ers or larger for dinner.For photos of the festival,including the biggestcannoli I’ve ever eaten,check out my blog.

MeatballsMix together gently:

1pound ground chuck1 cup uncooked rice1 teaspoon salt1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

SauceStir together in pan

large enough to holdmeatballs.

1 can tomato soup16 oz. can tomato sauce4-5 shakes of soy sauce(optional, butrecommended)

Roll the meat mixtureinto balls and place themin the sauce; roll themaround in sauce to makesure they’re covered.Cook over medium heat.If you make small meat-balls, cook them for 25-30minutes after the saucestarts bubbling. If youmake larger meatballs(the kind that a toothpickcouldn’t handle) cookthem for about an hourafter bubbling.

Rita’s amazinglyeasy and amazinglygood key lime pie

Don’t look for a brightgreen color here unlessyou add food coloring.True key lime juice looksa bit like lemon juice. Ionce made this with realkey limes. It took close toa week’s earnings topurchase enough keylimes. (OK, I’m exagger-ating here, but you getthe point.) The key limeswere so tiny and exudedhardly any juice. Keylime juice is the answerhere! This is one of col-league Brian Patrick’sfavorite pies.

ShellEither purchase one

or make your own bycombining 11⁄2 cups gra-ham cracker crumbs, 4tablespoons sugar and 6tablespoons butter, melt-ed. Pat into pan and bakein 350 degree oven forabout 7-10 minutes, de-

pending upon how crispyou want your crust.

Filling

4 large egg yolks, roomtemperature, lightlybeaten

12 oz. sweetened condensedmilk

1⁄2cup key lime juice

Whisk everythingtogether. Pour into shelland bake in 350 degreeoven about 20-25 min-utes, until center looksset but is still wobbly.Refrigerate at least 1hour. Garnish withwhipped cream and ber-ries.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Mary Jane Kenyon’spineapple coleslaw: I’m

liking this one! MaryJane, a Blue Ash reader,sent this to share: “Aquick refreshing saladusing a fresh package ofcoleslaw. I use MarzettiLight Original Slawdressing along with a can

of crushed pineappleincluding juice. I makeahead in the day to blendflavors. This is greatwhen you need a saladand not a lot of time toprepare.”

Readers want toknow

Puff pastry tops forstews, etc.: “They don’tstick to the bowls.” Wetrims of bowls beforeputting on pastry, andthen stretch firmly overrim. This helps it stick.

Summer storms areupon us. While it can becalming to listen to therain hitting the roof orthe sound of thunder offin the distance, stormscan also bring danger.Lighting in particularcan be dangerous and isoften misunderstood.

Our friends at theNational Weather Servicehave information on themyths and facts of light-ning that just might sur-prise you.

Some say that light-ning never strikes in thesame place twice. Thetruth is that is does. Itoften strikes tall, pointedisolated objects repeat-edly. The Empire StateBuilding is hit more than100 times a year.

It is often thought thatif there is no rain orclouds that lightning isnot a concern. In realitylightning often strikesmore than three milesfrom the center of athunderstorm. Somelightning bolts can strikeas far from the thunder-storm as 10 or 15 miles.

Many people believethe rubber tires on a carserve as insulation fromthe ground and protect

occupantsfrom light-ning. Thetruth: mostcars aresafe fromlightning,but it is themetal roofand sidesthat pro-vide theprotection,

not the rubber tires.When lightning strikes avehicle it travels throughthe metal frame to theground. Remember to notlean on the frame of thecar during a storm. Keepin mind that convert-ibles, motorcycles, bicy-cles, and open recre-ational vehicles and carswith fiberglass shellsoffer no protection fromlightning.

It has been said thatyou should not touchsomeone who has beenelectrified because youwill be electrocuted. Inreality the human bodydoes not store electricity.Therefore it is OK totouch a lightning victimto give them aid.

It is best to not takeshelter under a tree dur-ing a storm to stay dry.

This practice is the sec-ond leading cause oflightning casualties.

If you are in a houseduring a storm, avoidusing anything that con-ducts electricity. Theseitems include cordedtelephones, electricalappliances, wires, televi-sion cables, computers,and metal doors andwindows.

It is important if out-side to seek shelter be-fore thunderstormsthreaten. Seek shelterwhen thunder is heard.

Finally, if trappedoutside during a thunder-storm it is not recom-mended that you lie flaton the ground. Continuemoving toward a safeshelter. By lying on theground you increase yourchances of being affect-ed by potentially deadlyground current.

The next time a stormoccurs remember thefacts about lightning anddo what you can to staysafe.

“Be your best in allthings, be thankful forthis opportunity, and en-joy the precious pre-sent!” is one of the manylife lessons shared byDawn Plitzuweit, headwomen’s basketballcoach at Northern Ken-tuckyUniversity.

Coach P, as she is af-fectionately known, be-came coach last year asNKU’s teams migratedfrom Division 2 to Divi-sion 1 sports programs.She shared her coachingphilosophies at a recentFlorenceRotarymeeting.

Dawn Plitzuweitjoined the NKU staff af-ter spending the last fiveyears as the associatehead coach at theUniver-sity of Michigan. She hascoached for the last 18years at the collegiatelevel, following a stand-out career as a pointguard forMichigan Tech.

“My favorite thingabout moving to Ken-tucky,” she said, “is thatthis is basketball coun-try!” As the new headcoach, Plitzuweit focusedon putting together theright coaching staff. Shehired three assistantcoaches to help withrecruiting, and defensiveand offensive skill devel-opment.

Her first priority withthe players was to figureout exactly who the teamwas,especiallysincetheywere 0-4 in her firstgames as head coach.Said Plitzuweit, “I intro-duced a leadershipmodelcalled TNT, which standsfor Toughness and To-getherness.” Itmusthaveworked, she laughed, astheywonnineof their last11 games, to end her firstyear with a winning rec-ord of 15-12.

After graduating fourseniors last season, coachPlitzuweit has focused onrebuilding the team by

recruiting five outstand-ing freshman playersfrom Ohio, Michigan, In-diana and Illinois. Shealso started a fan/playerprogram to educate fansabout the best ways tosupport the team.

“Many people ask methebiggestdifferencebe-tween Division 1 and 2,thinking it’s thesizeof theplayers. But it’s not justthat,” she said, “it’s thelevel of speed and athlet-icism of the players. Themajor challenge is thatyou can’t just press, be-cause the players are sofast, they’ll just goaround you. You have toplay mentally tough, andlearn how to come backwhen you’re down.”

Concluded Plitzuweit,“We can’t wait around tobecome a contender – wehave to focus on beingTeam now.”

These days it’s notonly important to care-fully check your creditreports regularly, it’s agood idea to know yourcredit score.

You need to know itbefore buying anythingon credit. But whilemany websites claim tooffer free or low-costcredit scores, unlessyou’re careful it couldend up costing you morethan you expected.

Elaine Huntley, ofCovington, found a web-site offering a low-costcredit score. “It statedfor a dollar you could getthree credit scores. So,they asked me for mycredit card number and Igave it to them. Not onlydid they take a dollar, thenext month they took$29.95 out of my account.In April, they took $29.95out of my account againwithout me knowing,”Huntley said.

Huntley called thecompany and asked whythey took nearly $30 eachmonth. “They said bychecking the spot thatsaid a dollar, I automat-

icallyagreed tothe terms,but therewere notermsthere,” shesaid.

It turnsout in addi-tion topaying a

dollar for her creditscore, Huntley hadagreed to pay nearly $30a month for identity theftprotection, somethingshe says she never real-ized.

Huntley searched theInternet and found she’snot the only one whofeels misled by that com-pany. “I went on the In-ternet and I pulled themup online and there aremore than 150 complaintsagainst them, wherethey’ve done this samething to people – chargedthemwithout theirknowledge,” Huntleysaid.

I checked the websiteand found the chargesare disclosed but they’revery easy to miss. In

fact, the Better BusinessBureau has more than2,000 complaints aboutthat company. The BBBsays customers complainthey don’t understand therequirement to cancelwithin seven days. Inaddition, the BBB saysconsumers don’t un-derstand they are agree-ing to a monthly mem-bership.

Huntley filed a policereport and has disputedthe charges with herbank. My advice, if youwant your credit scoreand credit monitoring,you can get both withoutpaying anything. There’sa company called CreditKarma that, for free,provides your score andmonitors your credit soyou’re alerted every timesomeone accesses yourcredit report. You cansign up atwww.creditkarma.com.

Question: Some ofthe tomato plants in mygarden are wilting.Some leaves are turningyellow. Should I fertilizemore? How can I savethe plants?

Answer: If only thelower leaves are turningyellow and the plantseems otherwisehealthy, that could be asign of low nitrogen. Doa soil test and fertilizeaccordingly. But if thegarden has recentlybeen roto-tilled to re-move weeds, you mayhave accidentally cutthe roots off some of theplants, which could leadto wilting.

Also, some varietiesof tomatoes will curltheir leaves very easilyin hot, dry weather. Ifyour plants wilt downand don’t recover evenafter watering, however,it is probably due towalnut wilt or a fungalwilt disease. Walnut andbutternut trees contain atoxic substance calledjuglone that will stunt,yellow and kill tomatoesand certain other plants.

If there’snot a wal-nut treewithin50-75 feetof yourtomatoplants,however,then thecause ismost like-ly a fun-

gus.Fusarium and Verti-

cillium are two fungithat cause similar wiltdiseases in tomatoplants. Symptoms in-clude wilting, downwardbending of petioles (leafstems), yellowing, wilt-ing and dying of thelower leaves, often onone side of the plant,followed by browning ofthe vascular system(seen by cutting thestem open with a knife).

Early symptoms ofVerticillium wilt on theleaves may also includeyellowing of V-shapedareas between the veinson leaf margins. Plantsmay wilt during the dayand recover at night.

Stunting occurs andplants may eventuallydie under relatively coolgrowing conditions.

Both fungi are com-mon inhabitants of Ken-tucky soils. These fungiattack the plant throughthe roots and grow upthrough the water-con-ducting vessels (thevascular tissue). Thecells in the vasculartissue are destroyed andwater movementthrough this tissue isseriously impaired,causing wilting. Fusari-um and Verticillium maybe introduced to soils inseveral ways: old cropresidues, transplants,wind, water, implement-borne soils, or mulches.

These fungi becomeestablished readily inmost soils and can re-main in the soil foryears. When susceptibletomatoes are planted ininfested soil, their rootsare also subject to at-tack by these fungi.
