Silver Grove police officers could be patrolling the streets of Melbourne before the year is out if an agreement between the two cities is approved. The two small Ohio River towns are close to a contract for the Silver Grove Police Department to service the neighboring city to the east on Ky. 8. Melbourne Commission is working on finalizing a fifth draft of a contract that could possibly be approved by Silver Grove City Council at their next meeting Nov. 3. “I’d like to get this thing started as soon as we can,” said Melbourne Mayor Ed C. Fischer. Campbell County Police Department officers currently service Melbourne. Most of the residents want the switch to Silver Grove and keep asking and asking about it, Fischer said. The city has been asked by the county to pay more than $20,000 annually for police service, and the city has declined, saying residents pay their taxes, he said. The estimated amount the city is expecting to pay Silver Grove

annually is about $20,000. “We are looking to increase patrols,” said Thomas M. Miller, city attorney for Melbourne. But the city has been happy with the county’s service, Miller said. Silver Grove Mayor Neal Bedel said Melbourne approached the city about patrolling their city’s streets on a part-time basis. Melbourne commissioners proposed a change in the contract at the Monday, Oct. 19 meeting requiring 12 months notice for either city to terminate the contract and not 18 months as had previously been considered. Under the agreement, the cities could only immediately terminate the contract if both city governments agreed to it. Bedel said he did not think his city’s council would have an issue with the proposed change to the contract, and that it could be signed as soon as the next council meeting Nov. 3. After that, the state has to certify the contract, he said. “Hopefully we’ll be down here soon,” Bedel said. Since this spring, Silver Grove has added two part-time police officers in addition to having a

new chief, Doug Holt. Holt, a former officer in Dayton, was hired this year in hopes of expanding the police department from a one-man operation. After Holt was hired, John Sayers, the city’s chief for 50 years who had been on medical leave for almost a year, resigned April 1. Mayor Neal Bedel said at that point, council decided to hire two part-time officers and spread the hours out that they work more. “When we hired Doug Holt, we were planning on him working alongside Chief Sayers,” Bedel said. “We knew we wanted at least two guys there. We had already made up our minds that we were going to have two workers.” The city has some juvenile issues, petty vandalism and minor thefts that its police typically need to deal with, Bedel said. “It’s just stuff that was getting out of control, or was out of control, and we just wanted to curb it a little bit,” he said. What the city didn’t want to do was move the issues to another community, Bedel said. “We’ve got issues that every other community has, and we’re just doing our best to put a stop to them,” he said.

Homeless who rely on the Henry Hosea House in Newport will be a little warmer this winter. Through a partnership with members of the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati University of Kentucky Alumni group who participated in Cats for a Cause, a week-long community service week, the organization has dozens of blankets to give to those in need. “We were looking for things to do and picked what we feel is one of the most needy causes,” said Jim Lokesak, president of the local alumni “The timing group. “We of this wanted to supdonation is port a place that isn’t already really supported by a perfect.” lot of other organizations.” Karen Yates D o n n a Executive Brautigan, chair director, of the group’s community Hosea House involvement, said when someone recommended the Hosea House, it seemed like a good fit. “We heard that they were in dire need of blankets for the homeless and elderly people they serve and we wanted to help,” Brautigan said. Karen Yates, the executive director of the Hosea House, said the groups donation helps out a lot with the weather starting to get cold. “We are a very small operation here, and there aren’t a lot of people who know about us and give donations,” Yates said. “The timing of this donation is really perfect.” Yates said the blankets are given out to those who need them at the organization’s soup kitchen, which serves about 150 people a night, seven nights a week at 901 York St. Lokesak said the blankets are just the beginning of the group’s donations to the Hosea House. The group plans to donate socks to the organization in November and various soaps, lotions and toiletries in December. Anyone interested in donating items or money to the Hosea House can call 261-5857.

Digital bookmobile rolling to library By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

A digital bookmobile on a national tour will show Campbell County library patrons how checking out their favorite authors’ works doesn’t require a book bag anymore. The Cold Spring Branch of the Campbell County Public Library, will be a stop on the national digital bookmo-

Index Calendar..................................B2 Classifieds.................................C Life...........................................B1 Police reports........................B10 Schools....................................A6 Sports ......................................A9 Viewpoints ............................A11

bile tour from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26. While it’s parked in the library’s parking lot at 3920 Alexandria Pike, patrons can test the latest in electronic gadgetry for downloading and displaying ebooks, audio books and video both from the library’s collection and from commercial Web sites. Instructors will give hands-on training and teach visitors how to download ebooks, audio books, videos and more onto their home computer or other compatible devices including MP3 players, said Janet Arno, adult services librarian for the Cold Spring Branch. The bookmobile will also offer a tour of the library’s digital collection available through Kentucky Libraries Unbound 24 hours a day and seven days a week, Arno said. There are book titles to

download, but also other distinctive media too including new titles and old ones, she said. “For example, people can check out old Gunsmoke radio shows or the entire TV series of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” Arno said. The bookmobile, housed in a large Recreational Vehicle, has six rooms including: Audio book Alley, the “eBook Experience,” a digital catalog room, “Gadget Gallery,” a video lounge and a welcome and orientation room. Gadget gallery will include everything from MP3 players and phones, Blackberry mobile devices and eBook reading software for people to try out. One of example of the newest digital device in the bookmobile is the “Kindle,” an eBook reader the size of a magazine that can down-

load, store and display as many as 1,500 books. “This is a great experience for people who may be curious about eBooks, but don’t really understand how it works, or what it would look like,” Arno said. People will have the chance to learn more about the term downloading, and how it works on the different devices in the bookmobile. There are definite advantages that come along with electronic downloads, she said. “For example, when people check out a digital book or video, there’s an automatic return so there are never any late fees involved with download-able items,” Arno said. For information visit the library’s Web site at www. cc-pl.org or the Digital Bookmobile’s Web site at www. digitalbookmobile.com.

Diamond in rough revamped for soccer By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Crestview’s continued effort to revamp the city’s public places turned a worn-down baseball field into a park that’s kicking with the completion of a new soccer field. Crestview, with fewer than 500 residents, is next to Cold Spring, and has only a few short streets in the city limits. The rejuvenated ballfield, located off Pine Hill Drive, was one of several public spaces projects commissioners have pushed to get done recently, said Mayor Karen Bond. “For years it’s kind of like a diamond in the rough,” Bond said of the field. The ballfield had been neglected during the years, and nobody was using the city’s only recreation park, said Commissioner Shane Owens. “Every city needs a park,” Owens said. “There’s just nowhere for kids to hang out and do anything unless they go up to Cold Spring and their park.” The hope is to eventually build a shelter at the park residents can use for birth-

day or graduation parties, and also to build playground equipment, Owens said. The new field is already being used for youth soccer league practices about three times a week by Campbell North Soccer and Kings Soccer Academy. The sod for the new field came used from Lakota Local Schools in Ohio. “The grass from their football field was being replaced with game turf, and we bought the sod on the cheap,” said Commissioner Kyle Sparks. The commissioners will continue work on improving the park, and it’s hoped that the city can host games and possibly a youth soccer tournament, Sparks said Duke Energy has helped the city build a walking trail through the forest surrounding the park, and benches and trail markers along the path will be installed in the spring, he said. “We hope the new soccer facility and walking trail instill pride in Crestview residents,” Sparks said. “Being able to give a little back to the county is also very important to us.”

Teacher found not guilty

It took jurors only 70 minutes to find fired Dayton High School teacher Nicole Howell not guilty of having sex with a 16-year-old student who played football. Howell was facing up to five years in prison if found guilty of first-degree sexual abuse for allegedly having sex with the student four or five times last fall at her MainStrasse apartment. The student, now 17, testified at the four-day trial that he showed up at Howell’s place drunk one time and that she provided vodka other times. Howell’s case was one of the first to be prosecuted under a more-stringent state law that makes it a felony for a person in authority to have even consensual sexual relations with someone under 18. In all other instances in Kentucky, the age of consent is considered to be 16. Kentucky News Service

NKU director of Latino affairs to be honored

PROVIDED

Grand opening

Justin Augsback of Alexandria, new branch manager, stands ready to cut the official ribbon for the grand opening of the newest branch of Farmers National Bank in Alexandria.

Leo Calderón, director of Latino student affairs at Northern Kentucky University, will be among 41 area professionals honored Friday, Nov. 20, at the Salute to YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Gala. Nominated by local companies for their accomplishments, honorees have committed to volunteering with the YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Program to prepare students for college and beyond. Calderón is an advocate, a leader, a collaborator and a volunteer using his skills to bridge culture gaps and strengthen communities. In his more than 24 years of experience at NKU he has consulted with major corporations, schools and other nonprofit organizations on building relation-

ships with the growing Latino population. That dedication has parlayed into important Calderón roles within the YMCA of G r e a t e r Cincinnati, as a metrop o l i t a n board member and cochair for the Harper Salute Gala. Calderón has been a valuable asset to the YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers Program as it expands this year to serve more Hispanic youth. Hill Harper, a star of “CSI New York” and top-selling author, will be the gala’s

featured speaker. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and be held at the Duke Convention Center. Reservations are $100 per person or $125 with the VIP reception. For more information, call the YMCA Black & Hispanic Achievers at 513362-YMCA; e-mail tmiles@ cincinnatiymca.org or visit www.myy.org. Since its beginning, the YMCA Teen Achievers Program has awarded more than $175,000 in scholarships, assisted youth with more than $3 million in awarded scholarships, and engaged more than 4,000 adult volunteers through a network of corporate and community partners. The Program includes college prep and leadership development activities

focusing on study skills/ time management, interviewing techniques, financial management, teambuilding field trips, community service-learning projects, college tours and more. It strongly incorporates the Abundant Assets – 40 critical factors for the successful growth and development of young people – and centers around the relationships of adult professional mentors and teens. The 2009 to 2010 goal is to serve more than 500 students in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky communities.

ant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Brandt said it’s never easy to make the decision to close a school. “Anytime you’re talking about possible school closings you’re going to arouse emotions and some people may not agree with it,” Brandt said. That was the case in June when the committee held a public hearing. More than 50 parents and teachers from Mildred Dean came to the hearing to voice their displeasure with the possibility of closing the school, which is the district’s highest performing school on standardized tests. Tracey Herman, a mother of one current student and one for-

mer student at Mildred Dean, said she attributes their academic success to the teachers at the school. “I don’t have a solution, but I know closing Mildred Dean is not in the best interest of the district,” Herman said at the hearing. Herman was one of many parents who said if Mildred Dean closes, they will pull their kids out of Newport Schools. Brandt said while Mildred Dean is the highest performing school, it’s the teachers and students, not the building, that make the difference. Many of the teachers will be moved to a different school in the reconfiguration, Brandt said. If only Mildred Dean closes, the district will have to lay-off 14 employees, a number that will

double to 28 if Fourth Street is closed as well, Brandt said. Brandt said the committee has to take into consideration that Mildred Dean is the district’s smallest school, which limits the options. Once the committee makes its decision, they will forward the recommendation to the Board of Education, who will hold a public hearing before voting on the issue. Once the board make a decision, the Kentucky Department of Education must sign off on it before it is official.

Campbell County’s ‘Beauty’ princess

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Behind the beauty of the princess Belle in the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Jr. is Campbell County native Jen Meyers Scott. Meyers Scott, 29, of Taylor Mill, is a 1998 graduate of Campbell County High School and a 2003 graduate of Northern Kentucky University playing her 13th role with the theatre company. Public performances of Beauty at Cincinnati’s Taft Theatre will be 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16; and 2 p.m. both Saturday, Oct. 17 and Sunday Oct. 18; and again Saturday, Oct. 24 at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. School children from around the area will see the show at the Taft the week of Oct. 19-23. Being Belle comes with a spotlight. Meyers Scott sang the national anthem at the final Reds home game this season and spent time having her photo taken with groups of children. “It’s been a whirlwind of publicity,” Meyers Scott said. “I’ve got my face all over a billboard which is kind of weird to see.” Meyers Scott is the daughter of California residents Becky and Bob Meyers. Bob Meyers retired this year as CCHS choir director. Bob Meyers said he’s thrilled and proud to see his daughter’s image on television advertisements promoting the musical, but also because of her accomplishments in her career. “Here in Cincinnati she not only gets to perform, but she’s teaching in a sense,” he said. Meyers Scott made her start in 2008 with the Children’s Theatre

as a full-time actor in the ArtReach program, a division that brings performances and workshops to children in schools and libraries. In addition to playing Belle, Meyers Scott is now the business manager for the Children’s Theatre’s ArtReach program. Meyers Scott said came into contact with the ArtReach program when she was a student at the former A.J. Jolly Elementary School in California. Now she talks to children about self-esteem. Using acting techniques of standing tall, projecting the voice, and staying focused helps the children practice a positive self-image. “It’s not so much that I perform, I draw performance out of the kids,” she said. Meyers Scott said rebellion against acting and singing kept her from pursuing roles in school plays until she played Cinderella her senior year. After one high school musical, she said she was bit by the theater bug forever. “I always tell people I’m genetically engineered because both of my parents are singers and actors,” she said. Before Meyers Scott was born her mother and father played the lead roles in the musical “Showboat” at a Maysville community theater. “I was 3 months old and on stage in my mom’s belly,” Meyers Scott said. Growing up, Meyers Scott said she would put on her mother’s vintage high school high heel glitter-coated majorette boots. “I have just always loved to play make believe, and I have always loved to play dress-up,” she said.

School board sets next year’s calendar By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Celebrating test scores and setting the calendar for the 2010-11’ topped the agenda for the Campbell County School District’s Board of Education at the Oct. 12 meeting. After a more than 20-minute discussion of the possibilities for the starting and final days of classes, breaks and snow makeup day possibilities, the board unanimously approved a calendar for the next school year. Board member Janis Winbigler said she wanted the more than 500 people who participated in the survey asking people what they prefer in a school calendar to know that each board member read every single response. “There’s been a lot of thought put into this calendar,” Winbigler said. Board member Rich Mason successfully pushed for a midweek start of school, which many respondents to the survey had requested. “It allows students to ease into it a little bit,” Mason said. The board approved a calendar with a first day for students of Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2010, and barring the need for any snow days, a last day of classes will be Monday, May 23. Fall and spring break would be

Test scores

Superintendent Anthony Strong said Cline Elementary School was in the top 2 percent of all elementary schools in the state, and that as a district, Campbell County was 14th when compared to all other county districts in Kentucky. When using the transition index set up by the Kentucky Association of School Councils to compare test scores this year, the district’s score increased form an 87 to a 92 on a 120-point scale. Each one of the district’s schools are in the top 40 percent of schools in the state, and the majority are in the top 20 percent, Winbigler said. “That’s outstanding,” Winbigler said.

Reading and math, a big part of the focus of No Child Left Behind has been a strong focus of the district, and especially when it comes to the district’s disability populations, Strong said. “Meeting all the goals of NCLB is an accomplishment in itself,” said board member Mike Combs. Students with disabilities in the district collectively met or exceeded the math and reading goals set for the district under NCLB this year, but it’s going to be tougher to do that next year, Strong said. The 2010 NCLB goals for students with disabilities increase to 76.52 percent proficient, and increase from the 55.97 percent required for 2009; and the math goals for the same group will increase to 69.84 percent proficient from a goal of 50.26 percent proficient in 2009. Areas where work needs to be done to improve test scores are in science and social studies at both the middle school and high school levels, Strong said. Mason said everyone should remember that there is still much work that needs to be done to meet test score goals this year, but also to take time to celebrate the good of the 2009 test scores. “The five of us could do nothing without all the work of every person in this district,” Mason said. “We appreciate all that you do.”

NKU Informatics receives NSF grant

Northern Kentucky University has received notice that the National Science Foundation (NSF) will provide grant funding for a novel program to stimulate computational thinking across many disciplines. The project, titled “Informatics at Multiple Scales,” will be funded at $296,000 over three years. Proposed by computer scientists in the NKU College of Informatics, one of its key goals is to give all undergraduate students a chance to explore how computation connects with science, humanities and the arts. The NSF program that funds the project is titled “Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education.” The purpose of this national program is to contribute to the development of a globally competitive workforce with competency in computational thinking, which the NSF views as essential to U.S. leadership in global innovation. Over the next three years, the program will bring to campus so-called “informaticists in residence.” These are scientists, scholars and artists from other institutions whose work connects with computing. They will assist NKU faculty inside and outside the College of Informatics in developing an innovative Principles of Informatics course and an associated textbook. They will also help develop advanced computer science student projects in new application areas.

County teams make playoff push By James Weber

Newport had 165 yards offense to 327 for Fleming. The Wildcats forced five turnovers to keep themselves in the game against Fleming (5-3), a 3A team. Newport hosts Holy Cross 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23 in the final district game for both teams. With a loss, Newport will be the No. 4 seed in the district for the Class 2A playoffs. With a win, the Wildcats have a chance at the No. 3 seed but are unlikely to have a chance at the No. 2 seed and a first-round home game under tiebreaker procedures.

The Camels are in fifth place in the district, but cannot qualify for the playoffs because the best they can do is tie with Conner or Boone County or both, and both teams defeated the Camels this season. Under KHSAA tiebreaking procedures, Conner and Boone have clinched playoff berths. Michael Kremer threw for 383 yards and three touchdowns a g a i n s t Cooper. The TDs were to Matt Smith, Nate Geiman and Joe Franzen. After a scoreless first quarter, Campbell broke through early in the second quarter on a 5-yard run by James Popp. Later in the quarter, Campbell stopped Cooper on a fourth-and-2 at the Camel 41. Kremer immediately found Geiman for a 36-yard gain. Later in the drive, Smith scored on a 33-yard reception. Smith had 12 catches for 194 yards on the night.

A concussion Sept. 12 ended her season as far as contact and running were concerned. But a penalty kick was well within doctor’s orders. Given an opportunity to extend her team’s season, Steller buried a penalty kick to beat Bishop Brossart in the 19th District semifinals Oct. 13 at Campbell County. The fifth and final shooter, Steller stepped up with her team having a 3-2 lead in the shootout and one Brossart shooter left to go. Her goal clinched the game after the teams had played 110 minutes to a 1-1 tie. “It was nervewracking,” she said. “There are definitely a lot of highs in a game and lows in a game.

Ending like that was the high of all highs. “It feels good to know that since I’m not allowed to help in the regulation I’m allowed to help when it counts in the end.” Highlands head coach Tommy Kearns was proud of his senior, who he called

a big leader for the team. “I told her before she took the kick, ‘It’s made for you,’” he said. “I put her fifth for a reason. It would be made for her to win it.” Highlands junior Sydney Groneck made two diving saves against Brossart in the shootout. “I was just so nervous and I tried to block everything out,” she said. “Once you get that first save it’s an amazing feeling. I kind of forced them one way because I knew which way they were going to go, and when they went, I went.” Alex Feiertag, Abby Hills and Jenna Weyer also converted PKs in the shootout. The Bluebirds went on to beat Newport Central Catholic in the district final two nights later in a 2-1 overtime thriller. Both teams moved on to the 10th Region Tournament. MacKenzie Grause, Highlands’ top scorer, was clutch in the district tournament. She scored the tying goal against Brossart with under seven minutes to go in regulation off a pass from MacKenzie Cole.

My mom organized a Trash for Cash cleanup through the Campbell County Solid Waste. With the help of 32 volunteers, we completed 10 miles Oct. 3. We found some unusual things like a shot gun shell, garage door opener, matching shoes, and an exercise ball. I know that it's against the law to litter, but doing this cleanup made me see that it hurts the

environment and the people and animals that live there. If visitors came into town they would think that we don't care about our environment. The animals could cut them selves on sharp pieces of trash or eat something that might make them sick. Littering hurts the environment, please put your trash where it belongs!

Before sending children out on Halloween night, parents should consider the below listed precautions along with any other precautions you may feel are appropriate for your particular situation. • Parents should always accompany younger children for traffic and other safety reasons. • Make sure older children trick or treat with friends and make sure you know where all they will be going at approximately what times. If one of your children turns up missing, it would be very helpful to know just where they had been. • Tell children only to stop at the front entrances to lighted houses. Tell the kids not to go around to any unlighted side or rear entrances to homes. • Feed your children a meal before they go out and encourage them to not eat treats until they get home. If they are going to eat treats while out trick or treating, tell them to make sure they only eat unopened candies and other treats that are in original wrappers.

• When the treats are brought back home, check them in a well lighted place for any indications of tampering or contamination. • Strongly emphasize traffic safety with the children. The children should wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes so they can be easily seen by motorists. It would also be helpful to keep costumes short to prevent trips and falls. • Consider using makeup instead of masks. Masks can obstruct a child’s vision and could prevent them from seeing an oncoming car or suspicious person. • Trick or treaters should always be in groups so they aren’t a tempting target for criminals. There’s a lot of truth to the old saying that there is security in numbers. • Make sure children know not to enter strangers’ houses or cars regardless of what may sound like good reason to enter the house or car. Almost every year we hear stories of children hit by cars at Halloween and/or candy and treats contaminated with needles or other items. Observing the above safety precautions could prevent injury or disaster. If you find any contaminated treats or observe any other type of potentially criminal conduct, please contact your local police department so that criminal charges can be pursued if appropriate. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Should the federal government’s incentive program for new home buyers be extended? Why or why not? “I think so. It could revitalize our economy by moving the inventory of unsold homes. It is a boost to the construction industry and will put more unemployed builders back to work. I have a friend who is a plasterer by trade and has only had four new homes to work on compared to the 25 or 30 he normally does in a year.” Duke “Before we start random programs to help ‘select’ persons buy a new home or stay in their home, we need to take a step back and look at what incentives would really start the economy moving. There are not enough

Maybe we should look at keeping jobs in the U.S. and stop sending jobs to Mexico, Guatamala, Honduras, China, etc. ... keeping jobs here would spike the economy and we would not need to spend money to make money!” Florence “Yes!

Key developments show promise for improving Kentucky schools As we begin a new school year, it is time for fresh excitement about Kentucky education. In just the past few months, key developments have positioned Kentucky for more rapid improvement than we’ve seen at any time since the early 1990s. Here’s a quick summary of what’s happened and why it matters. First, Kentucky is developing new academic standards that will be shorter, clearer and better aligned with college readiness and global competition. Senate Bill 1, passed this spring, commits us to that major revision and to matching tests that will start in 2012. Second, national developments will strengthen our SB 1 work. Forty-six states have committed voluntarily to develop Common Core standards in mathematics and language arts, with Kentucky poised to be one of the very first to apply those expectations in our teaching, our testing and our accountability process. Kentucky will also benefit from the federal Department of Education’s commitment of $350 million to develop robust testing based on the Common Core approach. Third, state leadership is now unified on education in a way we have rarely seen. Leaders in both parties and both houses of the legislature backed SB 1, and they and Gov. Steve Beshear intend to see it succeed. Terry Holliday, our new commissioner of education, is off to a great start, as is Bob King, the new president of the Council on Postsecondary Education. Together, Commissioner Holliday and President King have already launched major collaborations, including a longitudinal student data system to track students’ progress from pre-k to college and beyond. Fourth, we have growing clarity about a central fact: standards, tests, data systems and state political commitments will only yield higher achievement if they are implemented well in classrooms. At this spring’s Prichard Commit-

tee meeting, Sir Michael Barbour identified teaching quality as the essential factor in the success of top-performing school systems around the world. In his words, “The only way to improve outcomes is to improve instruction.” Barbour, a partner of McKinsey & Co. and a former official in the administration of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, made a compelling case for four main strategies that work to build consistently effective teaching for all students: • Recruiting and training strong candidates to enter the education profession. • Strengthening current teaching through collaborative professional development that changes classroom practice. • Using data from tests and school inspection systems to measure progress and to intervene when progress is too slow. • Developing school leadership able to forge those three elementsnew teachers, support for current teachers, and data on results-into schools that deliver rapid achievement growth for all students. In hindsight, it is easy to see that our 1990 reform often fell short on the teaching quality front. We offered rewards for success and consequences for failure, and we assumed our educators were already equipped to respond to those incentives. In reality, they needed more direct and robust support-just as athletes reaching for a major prize need sustained coaching to deliver their best performance. Teaching quality work could be the Achilles’ heel of our new efforts as well. Senate Bill 1 did call for new attention to effective instruction, directing the state department to ensure training for current educators on implementing the new standards and directing the Education Professional Standards Board to ensure that

Unfortunately, those two agencies have endured a decade of funding cuts. Stripped to the bare bones, they will be very hard pressed to implement robust new learning activities with their current funding. That makes the fifth and final reason for new excitement especially important. The federal government is offering $4 billion in competitive “Race to the Top” grants for states that can show the best records of past reform and the best new plans to push those reforms further. Commissioner Holliday has already mobilized his staff and an impressively representative advisory board to draft a strong Kentucky application. Together, these developments offer Kentucky a great opportunity. If we seize the day, working together with great energy in the coming months, we can ensure that our new standards translate into new teaching strength in every classroom and new levels of achievement for all our children.

Entrepreneurs are some of our unsung heroes Last week I had an experience which reaffirmed my faith that we can restore jobs quickly in this economy if we help entrepreneurs do what they do best. I worked with an entrepreneur who decided to place retained earnings at risk to expand his manufacturing operation into a new product line. This was not a large or flashy venture, but it has great potential to help many people and it is a good example of how our country will make progress economically. Employees of the equipment suppliers will benefit from the venture, along with consultants and other service providers. Most importantly, we hope the project will create five new manufacturing jobs with health benefits. Five jobs may not sound like much, but each job can help a family to become self-sufficient. If five families can be moved from government assistance towards making a positive contribution to federal, state and local taxes, this modest expansion for a single entrepreneur will translate into annual net positive financial impact of over $200,000 for our government. Meanwhile, the entrepreneur happily projects a modest after tax annual profit of $30,000 on the venture. The entrepreneur is not complaining, but it is interesting that his success could be far bigger for the community than it will be for him

personally. Economic recovery can be driven by thousands of these entrepreneurs who have ideas to create new wealth to employ more people. The jobs they create typically involve little or no special outlay of government money and they don’t end when a government fund has been depleted. Expansions are happening every day across the country and are a tangible sign of how we attained such high standards of living. They need to happen far more often to get us back to where we need to be. Entrepreneurs will be central to replenishing our bankrupt unemployment funds and to reducing the federal government’s deficit, which ballooned to $1.4 trillion over the last fiscal year. Since the recession started in December 2007, we have lost 7.2 million jobs and the unemployment rate has doubled. We are a confident bunch in America, and we should be, but it would be naïve to think that America’s greatness is like a magic wand which can be waved to fix these problems. Many entrepreneurs operate on thin profit margins. With decreased costs of doing business and other incentives, entrepreneurs can help us regain jobs or develop new ones. I hope this message of optimism will soon be embraced by all Americans. The United States Chamber of Commerce recently launched educa-

tional programs about free enterprise. When local chambers and business organizations have joined in with public comments about the importance of efficient government and strong businesses, they have at times been met with cries of partisanship. Their economic message is anything but partisan. After what we have been through over the last year, we really must find common ground, across party lines and demographics, on what it takes to grow an economy. Most entrepreneurs lead quiet lives and work long hours, with no assurance of a paycheck or a return of their investment, much less financial success. They don’t seek recognition or credit for driving our country’s economic engine. The entrepreneur I worked with last week grew up with an absentee father, in a home without indoor plumbing, and was the first person in his family to graduate from high school. The American dream is alive and well with tens of thousands of unsung heroes like him. Maybe all of us, including our government, would be better off if we gave them their due.

Steve and Terry Heather.

Best friends’ romance started at drive-through window Cold Spring resident Terry Heather almost didn’t have enough change to buy the soda she ordered the first time she met her best friend Steve at a fast food drive-through window in Alexandria in 1993. The high school sweethearts have now been married for 15 years. Terry said she had watched Steve from afar until she decided to go to the drive-through where he was working in hopes of catching a glimpse of him. It was an awkward first meeting, but she got to introduce herself to Steve. “I ordered a small drink, and I had no money,” Terry said. “I totally emptied out my ash tray.” Now they do almost everything together, she said. The couple has two children together, 10-yearold Austin and 6-year-old Allison.

“We have been married almost 15 years, and he truly is my best friend,” Terry said. “I couldn't have asked for a better companion.” Steve said he knew Heather was different from all the other girls he ever met. They graduated from Campbell County High School, and met when Terry was a senior and Steve was a junior. They’ve been inseparable ever since, Steve said. “There is never an hour that goes by when I am at work where I do not think about her and can’t wait to see her,” he said. Terry is the best thing that ever happened to him, he said. “She is my wife, my soulmate, my children’s mother, and my best friend,” Steve said. Chris Mayhew/Staff

When Highland Heights author Andrew Martin looks at most teenagers and college students, he sees a common need. That need is for them to become more familiar with God, which he addresses in his new book, “His Vision, His Beauty and His Glory: Our Purpose and Life on Planet Earth.” “My whole book is designed to really challenge young people to go beyond just religion and see God’s beauty, vision and glory,” said Martin. “Teenagers and college students are in need of a great revival in our times.” Martin, who is the pastor of a small house church near Northern Kentucky University through the University Bible Fellowship Church, has spent the past 25 years helping young people learn about God. Many young people these days are to caught up in day-to-day things and don’t take the time to learn about God and his vision for their life, Martin said. “The book is set up as a 26-week journal which allows young people to take this journey with me to learn about God and the Bible,” Martin said. “The book is meant for everyone, not a certain denomination.” The book focuses on scripture, particularly on the Gospel of John. While completing his book, Martin said he was inspired by another local author he read about in the Campbell Community Recorder. “After reading a story about Harless Warf, I was moved by seeing an 80year-old man writing a book, so I went to visit with

decided to work with MicroPress in Bellevue. For the art on the cover of the book, Martin turned to his 14-year-old daughter Grace Martin, who drew the design. “I’m very happy with how the book turned out,”

Martin said. “My hope and prayer is that through this book, young people may see God’s vision, beauty and glory.” For more information about the book or to order a copy, e-mail Martin at redsea@fuse.net.

Too often we are our own worst enemy. We badly want or need something, yet behave in such a way that we diminish our chances of getting it. For example: weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lonely and look for a friend or someone to love us. And voila, we meet a likeable person who shows some interest in us. And what is our reaction? We desperately cling to them, phone or text message them 10 times a day, or express jealousy if they have other friends. Unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re equally obtuse, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon leave.

Popcorn is the all-ages snack for the season

Aunt Lil’s baked caramel corn

From friend Carolyn Grieme, a Northern Kentucky reader who believes, like I do, that cooking with family from heirloom recipes is not only satisfying, but preserves personal history, as well. Here’s what she told me

about this recipe: “This is handed d o w n from my Aunt Lil. We don’t know for Rita sure, but Heikenfeld we believe she may Rita s kitchen have gotten the recipe from one of her fellow church members. “She was very involved for many years in various ways at her church, St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, Barnsburg (Cincinnati). Whenever we invited family over for holiday dinners or just a common get together, Aunt Lil would always come with gifts. “Often she would bring large bags of this baked caramel corn, which we all loved. Other times, she would bring plants that she had dug out of her yard for us to transplant to our own yards – she loved gardening as well.”

2 sticks butter or margarine 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 ⁄2 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 24 cups popped corn (about 2-3 bags microwave popped or 1 cup unpopped)

Boil butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly, about five minutes. Remove from heat, stir in baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour mixture over popped corn and mix well. Pour into shallow pans - Carolyn uses two or three 9-by-13-inch pans. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Cool completely, and break apart. Store in tight containers.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen:

• Add a couple cups nuts to the corn to make a Cracker Jack like treat. • Spray the bowl, spoon, etc. for easy mixing.

Marshmallow popcorn balls or squares

I’ll be making these with the grandkids this week. You can make all sorts of shapes – like ghosts, tombstones, etc. and decorate with tiny candies. You can also put these on sticks, make tiny balls for a party, etc. 1 ⁄2 cup popcorn, popped or 1 bag microwave popcorn, popped (11-12 cups popped corn) 5-6 cups mini marshmallows (about a 10 oz bag) 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla l cup mini M&M type candies (optional) Melt marshmallows and butter over low heat. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla and blend. Combine candies with popcorn in a bowl sprayed with vegetable spray, and pour marshmallow mixture over. Mix well with sprayed spatula and spoon and form into balls with sprayed

inches or so balls. Put on sprayed baking sheet. Press 1 pimiento-stuffed olive into the center of each ball, pressing so it will stick. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Did you know popcorn is good for you?

Monster eyes

You can form the balls ahead minus the olives and refrigerate. Just increase the baking time. 3 cups all purpose baking mix (I use Kroger brand) 1 pound uncooked regular or hot pork sausage 8 oz Muenster or cheddar cheese, shredded Pimento-stuffed olives Preheat oven to 400. Mix everything together and shape into small 11⁄4

It’s a whole grain with 4 grams of fiber per serving. Eating popcorn may curb your appetite. Folks who ate 1 cup of fat-free popcorn half an hour before a meal ate less than folks who snacked on an equal amount of potato chips. Popcorn has more dietary fiber and antioxidants than any other snack food. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

When we were kids, Mom had a certain aluminum saucepan that she popped corn in. I remember the lid was a bit battered so that when the popcorn started popping, some would pop all the way to the ceiling. Fun! Now making popcorn is a lot easier with non-stick pans or microwave bags. Popcorn and Halloween are synonymous. It’s the one celebration that transcends ages when it comes to the kinds of food served – a time to go back being a kid again, enjoying monster eyes and popcorn balls and telling ghoulish ghost stories.

Holiday show to benefit youth

PROVIDED

Yoga on Monmouth

Kula Center conducts a yoga class on Monmouth Street during the Second Sunday Newport event Sunday, Oct. 11.

The power of believing can transform a drab December day into a truly magical moment. That power will be in effect as the curtain opens on a special presentation of “Miracle on 34th Street” that will benefit Regional Youth Leadership Dec. 22. “This is a great chance to enjoy a holiday tradition with family and support the community at the same time,” said Joni Huffmyer, program director of Regional Youth Leadership. “It’s a chance to look back at the wonder of our youth while helping a new generation discover its own wonder … the thrill of finding its voice and using it to make a positive difference in our region.” Covedale Center for the

Performing Arts will host the presentation, with all proceeds benefiting Regional Youth Leadership. The program works to enrich and engage outstanding Greater Cincinnati high school juniors who demonstrate leadership potential and a commitment to community service. During the past 15 years, more than 500 students from 61 different schools have graduated from the program. “The message of ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ ties in beau-

tifully with the vision of Regional Youth Leadership,” said Tim Perrino, Director of Covedale Center for the Performing Arts. “The play is about believing, about imagination, about helping someone else see the world a little differently, and about stepping in to get involved. We’re happy to get involved ourselves and support Regional Youth Leadership. It’s a great cause for some great kids who truly are the future of the region.” Tickets prices are $18 if

purchased before Nov. 1 and $20 if purchased after Nov. 1. A $40 VIP ticket includes a premium seat, a reception before the 7:30 p.m. performance, and an opportunity to meet the cast. The theater is located at 4990 Glenway Ave., Cincinnati. To order tickets, visit www.nkychamber.com, call 859-578-6398, or e-mail Joni Huffmyer at jhuffmyer@nkychamber.com.

Bed & Breakfast

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

NEW YORK The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
