Tweed Ride brings British-wear, bikes to Newport By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com Reser Bicycle Outfitters in Newport looked like a time warp into the past Saturday, Nov. 7 during Bike Newport’s Tweed Ride. Dozens of bicycle riders met at the store sporting their best oldtime, British style clothing to go on a casual six-mile ride around the area. “We’ve been talking about what we could do for some fun bike rides, and we found out about

Dozens of bicycle riders met at the store sporting their best old-time, British style clothing to go on a casual six-mile ride around the area. other cities having Tweed Rides,” said Bob Yoder, the city’s main street coordinator and member of Bike Newport, a group dedicated to promoting bicycling in the city.

“It just sounded like a silly, fun way to get people on a bike.” During the Tweed Ride, patrons dress up in old-time British clothing, which included a lot of tweed. Yoder said another goal of the event was to raise money for Bike Newport’s efforts to put more bicycle racks throughout the city. “We’re hoping to promote biking by having more racks for people to store their bikes when they ride somewhere,” Yoder said. A group of seven bicycle riders from the Coffee Emporium in

Hyde Park joined the fun and came dressed up in their Britishwear. “We just really like to do bizarre rides like this,” said group member Mary Messman. “This just sounded like fun.” Highland Heights resident Rick Daniel said he received an e-mail about the ride and couldn’t resist participating. “It’s for a good cause,” Daniel said. “And, anytime you get to dress up and ride a bike it’s always great.”

Pauper burial numbers rising in region By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Scouts and friends

The friendship shared by six girls for more than 12 years is a badge of camaraderie they found together as Girl Scouts. While the troop does their fair share of nature activities, much of what they do is really about being active in the community through charity collections that put them in face-to-face contact with people.

County governments are paying for more pauper burials and cremations in 2009 than anytime else in recent memory. Campbell, Kenton and Boone are all experiencing and increase in pauper burials. “Our numbers have increased, and we feel like the reason is that it has a lot to do with the economy,” said Naguanda Deaton, who oversees Campbell County’s pauper burial program. Contributing to more pauper burials are factors including more homeless people and more people coming from hospice at St. Elizabeth in Fort Thomas, Deaton said. Campbell County’s number of pauper burials has steadily increased from 11 in 2007 to 17 in 2008, and 22 so far in 2009. In Kenton County, pauper burials have increased from 26 in 2007, dipping to 21 in 2008, and back up to 32 so far in 2009. Pauper burials have increased in Boone County from five in 2007 to 11, said Kirk Kavanaugh, director of human services for Boone County. So far this year, Boone County has handled 11 pauper burials. “I think the economy has something to do with it,”

Program strained

By the numbers:

Although a majority of pauper burials are actually cremations, the pauper cemetery land maintained by Campbell County still has room, but is nearly full, said Naguanda Deaton, who oversees Campbell County’s pauper burial program. The numbers the county is handling continues to rise, and while it could be because of the economy, if it keeps up, there need to be other arrangements to cope not only with the space, but the related expense, said Campbell County Judgeexecutive Steve Pendery “We have a rotation among funeral homes and they prepare bodies for burial, but we are asking a lot of them,” Pendery said. “Though we pay them, they are not getting much - they do this as a public service.” The county is being proactive in discussing the pauper burial situation now, he said. “This system is creaking along, barely working,” Pendery said. “We might work with the legislature or other counties in an attempt to improve things.”

Pauper burials in Northern Kentucky are increasing. Here are the number of burials or cremations paid for by the counties for so far for 2009, and the numbers by individual county for the two previous years. Campbell County: • 2009 to Nov. 5: 22 • 2008: 17 • 2007: 11 Kenton County: • 2009 to Nov. 5: 32 • 2008: 21 • 2007: 26 Boone County: • 2009 to Nov. 5: 11 • 2008: 12 • 2007: 5

Kavanaugh said. Holly Hill, a purchasing manager who tracks Kenton County’s pauper burials, said while some of the deceased are homeless, others come from low-income housing and nursing homes. Hill said she’s not certain that the economy is to blame for this year’s increase, but that it’s hard to imagine that it’s not partly responsible. The reasons for a pauper burial vary and include a person being homeless and family relationships and financial issues, Deaton said. There are people without relatives to claim their body, she said. And there are other instances of people who have long been estranged from their relatives and

nobody is willing to pay, she said. The county does everything it can to find a person’s relative who will either take the body or pay for all or a portion of the costs of a pauper cremation or burial, Deaton said. It’s a cost the county bears that many people don’t think of, she said. Campbell County budgeted $12,000 for pauper burials in 2008. But it’s not expected that the $14,000 budget for 2009 will be exceeded, Deaton said. The county contracts with funeral homes on a rotating basis to do the work, she said. Kentucky law does not allow a pauper burial be cremated if there is a family member to object to the practice, which is cheaper.

“We try to do cremations whenever we possibly can,” Deaton said. “If there is not a family member that violently objects to it, that’s what we do.” But the county’s staff doesn’t like to think of the program, which is a unique service, in terms of money, she said. While there are no flowers or service, there is usually a brief ceremony, Deaton said. “It’s a very basic humane thing that we do,” she said. “We always make sure there is someone who says an our father or something else.”

Salute to Veterans this weekend By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Fort Thomas is again celebrating its history and saluting veterans for their service to the United States. The second annual Salute to Veterans event runs from Friday, Nov. 13 until Sunday, Nov. 15. “We wanted to do something special for veterans and because we are a fort, we felt like we had a mission to honor them,” said Debbie Buckley, the city’s renaissance manager. “We felt like the event

was successful last year and a lot of people asked us to do it again this year,” she said. Earlier in the week, Buckley said students from local schools are coming to the fort in Tower Park to look at historical displays and hear from speakers. Friday is the USO Dance, which includes a catered meal and music by the Swingtime Big Time Band for $25 a person or $40 a couple, with veterans getting in for free. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday the

fort is open to the public, who will get to see various weapons and uniforms displays and reenactments. At 2 p.m. Sunday, the Fort Thomas Military and Community Museum, which is already open to the public, is going to be officially dedicated, Buckley said. “We’re glad that the museum is open for everyone to see this year,” Buckley said. “It really has a lot of information about the city’s past.” For more information about the event, call Debbie Buckley at 572-1225.

The decision of Republican Mark Hayden to not seek re-election has left at least one open commission seat on the Campbell County Fiscal Court. Hayden’s decision has the Campbell County Republican party members pondering who will run for the District 1 seat that encompasses Wilder and most of southern Campbell County. Democrat Mike Schulkens of Cold Spring has announced his intention to seek the District 1 seat currently held by Hayden. Schulkens spent 19 years as Newport City Solicitor until he retired in 2008. Hayden will serve out the remainder of his term. After being appointed in June 2005 to fill-out an unexpired term, Hayden was elected to the seat in the 2006 election. Hayden has recently been named a managing partner of Greenebaum, Doll & McDonald for the firm’s Greater Cincinnati law offices. Hayden said he’s not finished with politics and that he might decide to run for elected office again. “I'm going to look for some new and exciting

opportunities,” he said. Hayden said he has accomplished all the goals he set for himself after he became a commissioner. He also said that he’s proud of what working together with other county leaders has done. “We have expanded the jail, expanded the county park system, constructed a new administration building, balanced the budget, provided essential services, and kept taxes competitively low,” Hayden said. “It has been a great honor to serve the people of Campbell County.” Hayden’s decision not to run again was not unexpected, said Campbell County District 3 Commissioner Ken Rechtin, a Democrat from Newport. “I was not that shocked, Mark has a very important position as managing partner at Greenbaum,” Rechtin said. Hayden’s responsibilities at the law firm include overseeing more than 100 other attorneys and monitoring billable hours in addition to his own case load, Rechtin said. But while Hayden has been on Fiscal Court, he’s always prepared for and taken his time to review his commissioner’s packet to make the decisions, Rechtin said.

“I will tell you that Mark did the work,” he said. As for other commission seats on the Fiscal Court, there has yet to be anyone announce or file for the District 3 seat Rechtin has twice been elected to after spending nine years as a Newport City Commissioner. Rechtin, 58, said he’s prepared to fight and win a campaign if necessary, but until then, he doesn’t feel right asking people for contributions. Dave Otto, a Democrat from Fort Thomas, will again have competition for the District 2 seat he was first elected to in 1986. The Republican contenders include Jerry Schmits of Dayton and Newport gunsmith Peter Garrett, whom Otto defeated in the 2006 election by fewer than 1,000 votes. Garret and Schmits will battle each other in the May 18 primary for the opportunity to run against Otto in the November elections. The May Republican primary will also feature a race between incumbent Judgeexecutive Steve Pendery, elected to the position since 1998, against challenger Kevin Sell of Alexandria, who resigned as chairman of the Fourth Congressional District Republican Party to challenge for the top county position.

Turfway awards scholarships The winners of $10,000 in scholarships given away Sept. 26 by Turfway Park and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association have been confirmed. Ten area college students were awarded $1,000 each at the Northern Kentucky racetrack’s fifth annual College Scholarship Day. The winning students are: • Louis Senn, Thomas More College, Louisville, computer information systems • Camille Hornsby, Thomas More College, Harrison, Ohio, nursing • Christen Camilla Collins, Art Academy of Cincinnati, Dent, Ohio, fine arts/print making • Noah Kirst, Gateway Community College, Alexandria, manufacturing engineering • Megan Lueke, Northern

Nine of the scholarships were available to students not affiliated with the thoroughbred industry. The 10th scholarship was reserved for students who are themselves affiliated with the industry or whose

parents are so affiliated. The industry scholarship went to Kelsey Ryan, daughter of Turfway Park mutuel clerk Tom Ryan. Students enrolled full time for the 2009 fall semester at an accredited college or university that accepts federal aid were eligible to participate. Funds are sent to the institution and applied to the student’s account upon verification of eligibility. The scholarship program was established by the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association in 2000. The association and participating Kentucky racetracks have given away $334,000 since the scholarship program began. College Scholarship Day is held annually at Turfway on the same day as the Kentucky Cup Day of Champions, the track’s most important day of racing each fall.

Record number using e-filing Tax return e-filing for this year ended Oct. 15 and Kentucky taxpayers e-filed more than 1.3 million federal income tax returns during 2009, up 2 percent from last year. With a projected 1.9 million paper and electronic returns to be filed by Kentucky taxpayers by the end of the year, 72 percent of tax filers in the state chose electronic filing over paper. “Each year more Kentucky taxpayers e-file their return,” said IRS spokeswoman Jodie Reynolds. “It’s fast, easy, secure and for most filers it’s available at no cost.” Nationwide, a record 95 million returns, more than 67 percent of the total returns filed, were e-filed in 2009. Taxpayers who e-file from a home computer continue to be an increasingly significant segment of those who e-file. More than 383,000 Kentucky taxpayers filed from home computers in 2009. More than three million taxpayers nationwide filed their tax returns for free through the IRS Free File program. This year for the first time, taxpayers could also file directly to the IRS by completing a fill-in Form 1040 online at IRS.gov; 273,000 taxpayers used this new way to file.

NKU launches new College of Health Professions Northern Kentucky University celebrated the launch of its new College of Health Professions in September. The NKU College of Health Professions is comprised of NKU’s nursing, advanced nursing studies and allied health departments. It enrolls more than 1,500 students and employs more than 50 faculty and staff. Dr. Denise Robinson, interim dean of the college, said the change from what was formerly the School of Nursing and Health Professions will allow NKU to develop new programs, expand existing programs and provide more focus to the programs within the college’s three departments. “Rather than having one chair for 1,500 students and 53 faculty and staff, the new college will enable the faculty and chairs to enhance our current programs, increasing the quality of instruction and allowing us to better meet the needs of our students and our region.” Chris Goddard, CEO of HealthPoint Family Care, emphasized the

value of the new college. “As a community health provider to low income families, it is a huge benefit to have a high quality College of Health Professions in our backyard,” Goddard said. One of the top priorities for the new college will be to attain funding for a new Health Innovations Center, which will house programs that will drive hospital, physician, ehealth, pharmaceutical, bio-technical, allied health, senior citizen and other medical-related business development in the region. The facility will be programmed to match healthcare community needs in areas such as nursing, psychology, radiologic technology, health informatics, respiratory therapy and health science. Continuing NKU’s mission to work at the intersection of academic disciplines, the Department of Psychology will also make its new home in the Health Innovations Center. NKU is seeking $92.5 million in state funding for a joint project to build a new facility for the college and renovate NKU’s Founders Hall. By combining the two projects,

NKU is projecting a savings of about $20 million. Of the Council on Postsecondary Education’s top 10 education and general fund capital priorities for the 2006 Kentucky general assembly session, only two remain unfunded – renovation of NKU’s Founders Hall and construction of the Health Innovations Center. In the meantime, 24 projects below the top 10 have been approved for funding or are on the current state budget contingency list. Those who attend Monday’s event will get a glimpse of both NKU’s current facility limitations and the future when faculty and students give tours of the college’s existing facilities and demonstrations of the wireless simulator technology current and future health professions students will use. The simulators are so sophisticated that they can talk and breathe. They have a heartbeat, can have dilated/constricted pupils and recognize when the correct or incorrect medication is given. NKU currently has one wireless simulator, but Dr. Robinson said simulators

will play a major role when the Health Innovations Center is built. “The Center will include 8,000 to 12,000 square feet dedicated to a ‘virtual hospital’ simulation center which will look and function like a hospital unit,” she said. “It will have beds, medication dispensing systems and electronic medical records that area facilities are using.” Dr. Robinson said one of the highlights of this virtual hospital will be expanded use of these hightech simulators. “Students will be able to have specific types of patients,” she said. “It will not depend on whether real patients happen to be in the hospitals at the moment. In our ‘virtual hospital,’ such patients will be guaranteed for each student. Highrisk situations such as high-risk delivery, critically ill patients and code situations can be experienced by all students. There will be simulators for adults, babies and even for pregnancy and delivery.” Dr. Robinson said the virtual hospital may even have a separate unit for maternity, pediatrics, critical care and medical surgery.

As an added bonus, she said the new facility will make it possible for community health providers to utilize the simulators in their training. NKU’s current simulation lab is scheduled for undergraduate nursing instruction from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Additionally, the facility will afford NKU students the opportunity to use state-of-the-art imaging and respiratory equipment in keeping with technological advancements in the diagnosis and care of patients in the delivery setting. Locally, healthcare professions represent the largest segment of Vision 2015’s 50,000 new jobs goal. Dr. Robinson said educating enough students to meet the Vision 2015 goal of 7,200 new health care and social assistance jobs by 2015 will be a challenge without funding for the Health Innovations Center. Each year, she noted, NKU turns away about 300 qualified nursing and allied health students due to space limitations.

Reiley students broadcasting live By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

It’s the students, not the adults requesting quiet in the library at Reiley Elementary School each morning, hushing their peers, for the student-produced live television news show. The final cue before the show goes live comes from 10-year-old floor manager Kamryn Huff of Alexandria as she raises her arm signaling all quiet on the set. Fifth-grade students had to apply for their jobs at the start of the school year for the new club. Students operate the cameras, write the script, and work the audio controls in addition to the storytelling of the student news anchors and special reporters. It’s a flurry of connecting cords and setting up cameras and tripods, before the show starts. Rachel Dreyer, 11, of Alexandria, a videographer for the show, said they have to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be or the show won’t work. Dryer said setting up the camera is her favorite thing about her role, but that it took practice to learn. “When I first started it was pretty challenging,” she said of setting up the camera. Hadley Schumacher, 10, of Alexandria, is one of the anchors for the morning show. She does an exercise and says the “Pledge of Allegiance.” Students who didn’t know her before being on the show, do now,

Foster Loesch, 11, uses a control panel to switch camera views of Reiley Elementary School’s live student-run morning television news show Friday, Nov. 6. News anchor Mollie Leach can be seen on the television behind Loesch. Schumacher said. The hardest part of the show is practicing the lines, which they write outside of school time, and the timing the anchors have to have when they are talking on camera, she said. “You have to talk about when to start, and who goes first,” Schumacher said. Nolan Padin, 11, of Alexandria, a videographer, has to keep the camera focused on one of the anchors during the show. “I just kind of like messing around with the camera and just showing stuff,” Padin said.

Noah Sell, 10, audio technician for Reiley Elementary School’s fifth grade news show, preps before the cameras broadcast live the morning of Nov. 6. include being part of a team where everyone plays an important role, said Kelly Jones, the teacher sponsor of the student news team. But teaching the students how to prepare a television show has come from a parent volunteer, Jennifer Teipel, executive director of Campbell County Media Central, Jones said. “It’s 99.9 percent due to Jen Teipel volunteering her time every morning,” Jones said.

Teipel said the students have after school team meetings in addition to the live broadcasts, and student have to research their reports on their own time. The top stories for Friday, Nov. 6 included a profile of the school’s Beta club and a new in-school store the club has started. Teipel said earlier in the year a field reporter did a story about H1N1, interviewing the school nurse.

There are also regular segments including a word of the week and the exercise and math problem-solving Math on the Run skit. When the students applied for positions on the news team, many wanted to work with the equipment and operate the cameras. “There were quite a few who wanted to be on camera, but some of them wanted to be writers,” Teipel said.

Bellevue schools prepare for new session of Community University By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Bellevue Independent School District takes pride in offering quality education at Grandview Elementary School and Bellevue High School, but the learning doesn’t have to end there. For the third year, the district’s Community Educational Partnership is promoting learning outside of the traditional school setting with its Community University. “The Community Educational Partnership exists to promote the value and increase community awareness of education in our city,” said Superintendent Wayne Starnes. “The Community University was organized to promote lifelong learning within our community.” The Community University offers interested adults living in the Northern Kentucky area a chance to learn about various topics in classes taught by volunteers.

In each of the two yearly sessions, different topics are offered. Starnes said for the Fall 2009 session, which is from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16 at Bellevue High School, the partnership has chosen a holiday theme. The classes being offered this session include Holiday Headbands and Hair Bows, Holiday Organization, Changing the Face of the Holidays, Holiday Cookie Basket and Holiday Bark Candy, Shopping on the Internet and Introducing a Boot-Scooting Way to Start Your Holiday Shopping. Some of the classes are free and some charge a minimal fee. Starnes said the partnership is already in the process of planning the spring session, which is scheduled for March 2010.

Three Campbell teams advance By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Three out of five Campbell County teams won their football playoff openers last week. Two of the three survivors will play at home this weekend.

Bellevue 55, Gallatin County 0

The Tigers (8-3) avenged an upset loss to Gallatin in last year’s playoffs. Bellevue plays Nov. 13 at Frankfort (8-3), who edged Bishop Brossart 16-7 last week. D.J. Slater returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, starting a Tigers’ romp as Bellevue led 48-0 at halftime. Ricky Buckler rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns. He now has 2,468 yards and 36 rushing TDs for the year. He is just 69 yards away from tying Mike Sutkamp for the career rushing record at Bellevue. James Sullivan rushed for a score. Richard Wills threw TD passes to Alex Hegge and Mike Rankin.

Newport Central Catholic 63, Carroll County 19

Without head coach Bob Schneider, battling health issues, the Thoroughbreds rolled over Carroll in a 2A playoff opener. NewCath (6-5) hosts Christian AcademyLouisville (9-2) Nov. 13 in Round 2. CAL, the No. 2 seed in its district, beat Lloyd 55-29 last week. Schneider, the state’s alltime wins leader, has missed the past two games because of circulatory problems. His status for this Friday was uncertain at press time. Against Carroll, NewCath won its fifth game in a row after a 1-5 start. Chris Kelly had 189 yards and four touchdowns, three in the first half to lift NewCath to a 49-13 locker room lead. Brian Doyle found the endzone twice in the first half, once on an interception return and the other on a 47yard pass from Brady Hightchew. The latter made it 280 in the first quarter. Freshman Dylan Hayes scored, and Austin Siemer had a punt return TD in the first half as well. Hayes

The Bluebirds rolled to 11-0 against the 3-8 Indians in a Class 5A opener. Highlands hosts Dixie Heights this Friday, Nov. 13. The Bluebirds beat the Colonels 52-9 Oct. 2. Against Montgomery, Highlands led 28-0 after one period and 41-0 at halftime. Highlands spread the ball around during the night as it dominated with 443 yards offense to 172 for the Indians.

Chris Bowman scored the team’s lone touchdown to make it 8-7 at halftime. Frankfort scored its second touchdown in the third quarter to go up by nine points. Statewide, this was the only playoff game decided by single digits among the 47 matchups featuring a No. 1 seed versus a No. 4. Only 10 of the 95 total games were decided by single digits.

DeSales 55, Newport 8

0000367059

After a superb track season last spring, Robbie Scharold was hoping for just as strong a fall season on the cross country course. Scharold had won the 800 meters in track season with the best time in Northern Kentucky history. A strained lower back set back the Campbell County High School senior in some meets, but he saved his best for the Class 3A, Region 5 championship. Scharold won the individual title Nov. 7 at Scott High School to qualify for this week’s state meet Nov. 14 at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. “This is the one accomplishment I haven’t gotten,” he said. “I’ve been wanting this since freshman year. Winning this has helped. All the pain has lessened now. Hopefully I can carry this momentum over to state.” Scharold was locked in a close battle with Dixie Heights’ Ryan Smith before surging ahead with less than a mile to go in the 3.1-mile race. The Camel boys finished third as a team to snare a full spot at the state meet.

Bellevue adds seven to hall of fame Bellevue High School’s seventh hall of fame class was inducted Sept. 11, to be added to the 87 men and women already in the Hall of Fame.

Dolph Perry

Dolph Perry, a class of 1922 member, excelled in football, basketball, and track and field. According to the 1922 yearbook, “He is our Athletic Star.” Dolph “Rud” Perry led the return of football at Bellevue in 1921 as its star fullback. Whenever Bellevue needed a gain it would be “Rud’s” signal and he always “came across.” Dolph was an outstanding center in basketball. In track and field he broke a record in the javelin throw at the prestigious Tristate track meet in Oxford, Ohio, in 1922 with a throw of 150 feet. Dolph also went on to play semi-pro football in Cincinnati during the early 1920s. He served the citizens of Bellevue as its police chief for nearly 25 years. Upon retirement, he served the youth of Grandview Elementary School as its crossing guard. Perry Park was named in his honor. Dolph Perry loved fair play and his courage of conviction was astounding.

Dick “Red” Musick

Dick Musick, class of 1938, was a versatile athlete in football, basketball, track, and tennis, who was selected to the “Little Six” and all-state football team during his senior season.

In basketball, Dick was also All-Conference on arguably the greatest basketball team in school history. That team went 24-2, winning the conference, 36th District and Ninth Region titles They lost in the second round of the Sweet 16 to the eventual champions, the Sharpe Greendevils. Red served Bellevue High School for many years as a volunteer coach in football, basketball, and baseball. He joins teammates Bob Himmler, Jack Dumford and Charley Ruth as members of the Hall.

Roger Otten

A member of the class of 1949, Roger Otten was a tennis and basketball star during his tenure. In 1948 Roger and teammate Paul Trieschman captured the state doubles title. A year later captain Otten and new teammate Tom Qualey won the Tigers second straight title with a 64,6-3 victory over Male. Roger also excelled in singles, reaching the state semis in 1948 and state runner-up in 1949 to Billy Evans of Berea. On the hardwood, Roger was a starter on the 1948-49 district and ninth Region championship squad, which finished 24-5, and won the schools’ second title. He was named to the Ninth Region Tournament All-Star team as well as the conference and post all-star squads. Roger was voted Mr. BHS by his senior classmates. Moving on to Western Kentucky University, he

helped lead his tennis team to four OVC titles and has been inducted into Western’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Dick Jones

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” This quote describes class of 1950 member Richard Jones in the 1950 Reflector. Dick Jones had a big heart when it came to playing and coaching for his beloved Tigers. He played football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Dick was a member of the 1948-49 Ninth Region basketball championship team. His 1949 football team finished with an outstanding 8-2 record. As a great student of the game it was only natural that Dick would coach the athletes and teams at Bellevue for more than 35 years in all sports. A perfectionist and great teacher of fundamentals, Coach Jones insisted on doing things the correct way. He taught his young men to compete with courage and to strive to be the best they could be. He certainly was “old school” in his approach to the game. Demanding and intense, Dick was highly respected by his peers and revered and loved by those who played for him. Dick Jones loved the Tigers.

Tom Qualey

This 1951 graduate was a basketball and tennis star from 1948-1951. After spending his freshman year at Newport Catholic, Tom moved on to Bellevue and a great career was born. As a sophomore he teamed with Roger Otten to win the Kentucky State doubles championship. In 1951, Tom won the Ninth Region singles title and was state runner-up to fellow hall of fame teammate Tom Cundy. In basketball he was a member of the Ninth Region champions and as a senior was named to the AllRegion and All-State teams.

Locally Owned And Operated Since 1961

Jim Fulmer

“The brave man seeks not popular applause.” These words describe one of the greatest offensive linemen in Tiger gridiron history. Running backs receive the glory, but No. 93, Jim Fulmer, a 1953 graduate, made it happen up front in the trenches. He was All-Conference, All-Post and All-State during his career. That’s First team AllState prior to classification of football throughout the Commonwealth. Jim also played four years of basketball and track while at BHS. He was selected class president by his peers. During his senior season Jim was recruited by Paul “Bear” Bryant of Kentucky and signed a football scholarship with the Wildcats. An injury ended his career in Lexington.

Danny Laplam

Dan Laplam was a foursport star for the Tigers from 1958-1962. In football this tight end was one of the best punters in Northern Kentucky. The ball often got lost in the lights of Gilligan field. His football team reached the state semi-finals, losing to eventual champion Lynch. On the hardwood, Dan broke the school record when he scored 41 points against Dayton during the 1961-62 season. In track Danny Laplam was the premier long distance runner in Northern

Kentucky. He was undefeated in the 880 locally and lost one mile during his senior season.

Fred Bernier

In the annuals of head football coaches at Bellevue High School Fred Bernier ranks as one of the greatest of all time. Upon his arrival at Bellevue, he coached three consecutive teams to the State Championship game, winning it all in his inaugural season, 1979. During his time as coach from 1979 to 1985, his teams won three conference titles, and three regional crowns. They won 31 games during those first three seasons. Coach Bernier ranks third in wins in school history and his winning percentage of 62 percent ranks second to legendary hall of fame coach, Ben Flora. He showcased his athletes and produced record holders and All-State players. Coach Bernier has been recognized and honored with numerous coaching awards, but has always given credit to the players and assistant coaches who symbolized “Tiger” football.

Sherri Rauh Yates

Sherri Rauh, a 1990 graduate, epitomizes the term “student athlete.” In volleyball she was AllNKAC, All-Region and AllState. In track, again she was All-Region and All-State. Sheri joined the basketball team her senior season and her leadership was outstanding. As a student-leader at Bellevue, Sheri had no equals. She was Academic AllState three years, Student of the Year, class president, Miss BHS, and had perfect attendance for four years. The 1990 Reflector says it all about Sherri Rauh: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…”

Jenny Atwood Iles

Versatility could well be Jenny Atwood’s middle name. She excelled in three sports for the Lady Tigers before graduating in 1990. In volleyball Jenny was All-Conference, All-Region and All-State. In basketball she was All-Conference, All-District, and All-Region while leading the team in scoring, rebounding, and free-throw percentage. In the spring, during track season, Jenny was All-Region and finished in the top five at state in the high jump and discus. She was voted Most Athletic by her senior classmates. Jenny returned to Bellevue and in 1997 became the head volleyball coach, winning 86 matches in six seasons, including a Conference runner-up title and a 20 win season in 1999.

Brad Hissong

Brad Hissong, a 1992 graduate, was a force on the gridiron and track. His 1990 football team finished as State-Runner-up and Brad was honored by being selected to the AllConference team, Coaches Top “22” team MVP and All-State. In 1991 he was selected as Northern Kentucky Enquirer Player of the Year. Brad excelled equally on both sides of the ball, as a running back and defensive back. On the track his feats were equally outstanding. In 1990 and 1991, he was NKAC Most Outstanding Runner. In the 1991 prestigious Mason-Dixon Games, Brad won the indoor state championship in the 55 meter dash. His teams won state track titles in 1991 and 1992. Brad won gold in the 400 and 1,600 relays and was selected All-State. He also played baseball his sophomore and junior years and earned All-Conference recognition.

The next three seasons at the University of Cincinnati, he compiled a 75-percent winning record and captained the 1955 Bearcats to the NCAA Championship.

Liability to trespassers Several weeks ago, our office wrote an article on hunting laws, so I thought it would also be helpful at this time to do an article on trespassing since the hunting season is nearly upon us. Some readers of this column may be concerned with liability of a property owner to a trespasser onto the property that gets hurt on the property. This could include such persons as hunters, bicycle riders, quad runners or just kids walking onto the land. There is a Kentucky law and many court decisions that deal with this issue. KRS 381.232 states that “The owner of real estate shall not be liable to any trespasser for injuries sustained by the trespasser on the real estate of the owner, except for injuries which are intentionally inflicted by the owner or someone acting for the owner.” The statute defines a trespasser to be “Any person who enters or goes upon the real estate of another without any right, lawful authority or invitation, either expressed or implied, but does not include persons who come within the scope of the attractive nuisance doctrine.” Therefore if someone comes upon your property without your consent and gets injured, you as the property owner are not liable unless you somehow intended that the person be injured. For instance, if you put a cable across a road going onto your property and the cable was very visible as a result of its size or had some flags or other markings on it and someone drove their bike through the cable and was injured, you would not be liable. However, if you hung a very thin cable that could not easily be seen with the thought of raking someone off of their bike if they tried to go down the road, then you could possibly be held liable in that you may have intended the trespasser to be injured. Also, as mentioned above, a trespasser is not someone who comes within the scope of the “attractive nuisance” doctrine. The attractive nuisance doctrine

basically indicates that if you have something on your property that in effect attracts children or others onto your property and they are thereby injured, then that person would not be considered a trespasser and you could be held liable for their injuries. For instance, if you owned a cattle farm next to a subdivision with young children and you placed a watering trough close to the subdivision, then you could possibly be held liable if a young child drowned in the watering trough because it was an attractive nuisance to the child who may have thought the watering trough was a wading pool. If you own land and people are trespassing upon it, I would suggest first of all putting up signs at the locations where you think people are entering the land, stating “Private Property-No Trespassing” and that you also tell the trespassers, or better yet, give them a written notice and keep a copy, to stay off your land. If the trespasser is then hurt, you would not be liable for their injuries except as noted above. Also if people still trespass on your land after signs are posted and they have been told to stay off, you could file a charge of criminal trespass against them which carries a fine of up to $250 and up to 90 days in jail for entering onto land when notice against trespassing is given by fencing or other enclosure and a fine of up to $250 for trespassing upon property where no notice against trespassing is given. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

Arrest made in ‘pill pipeline’ Kentucky law enforcement struck a major blow against the prescription pill pipeline that exists between Kentucky and other states, particularly Florida. On Oct. 28-29, more than 300 arrests were made in 34 Kentucky counties on charges related to the illegal diversion of prescription pills. This marked the largest drug sweep in Kentucky’s history, and I am proud that my Drug Investigations Branch and statewide Prescription Drug Diversion Task Force were part of this unprecedented operation. I am grateful to our partnersKentucky State Police; the FBI; Operation Unlawful Narcotics Investigations, Treatment and Education (UNITE); Appalachian High Intensity Drug Traffic Area (HIDTA); U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. I look forward to our continued involvement in this ongoing investigation into the illegal diversion of prescription pills in the Commonwealth. My Drug Investigations Branch began working with Operation UNITE in July 2008 as part of this historic operation. I’m pleased to say that our investigation resulted in the arrest of 27 individuals in Powell and Menifee counties on nearly 50 counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, 1st and 2nd degree. I’d like to thank all of my

investigators, as well as Operation UNITE’s Dan Smoot and Karen Engle, for the wonderful work they do. I am particularly grateful to Jack Conway 5th District Congressman Hal Community Rogers, who Recorder formed Operation guest UNITE in 2005 to columnist combat prescription drug abuse in Eastern Kentucky. One of the first meetings I had as Attorney General was with Congressman Rogers to discuss forging a new drug diversion partnership between my office and Operation UNITE. This unprecedented drug sweep is particularly gratifying, given the fact that Kentucky led the nation last year in prescription pill use for non-medical purposes. Even more startling is that one in five teenagers has used prescription pills for recreational purposes during the past 30 days. Kentucky is losing too many of our children to prescription pill overdoses and abuse. I believe the commitment from my office and law enforcement at the local, state and federal level, sends a clear message to those who divert illegal prescription pills into Kentucky. We will investigate and shut down these deadly pill pipelines that have taken a toll on

The state Supreme Court ruling found it was unconstitutional to retroactively apply residency restrictions on sex offenders who committed their crimes before July 12, 2006, when the law took effect. families in every corner of the Commonwealth. As the state’s chief law officer, public safety is my top priority. That’s why I will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Oct. 1 ruling by the Kentucky Supreme Court on the residency restrictions for registered sex offenders. The state Supreme Court ruling found it was unconstitutional to retroactively apply residency restrictions on sex offenders who committed their crimes before July 12, 2006, when the law took effect. I believe the court’s decision raises serious public safety concerns, as it could result in hundreds of sex offenders living next to schools and daycares. In the interest of protecting Kentucky families, my office will file a motion requesting that U.S. Supreme Court suspend implementation of the ruling until the court determines whether it will hear the case. Jack Conway is the Kentucky Attorney General.

Tammy Weidinger (left), chief operating officer of the Brighton Center, presents Kate Arthur, the coordinator for the center's Homeward Bound Shelter, with the center's 2009 Super Nova Award, which recognizes employees who have risen through the ranks of the agency by seeking additional responsibility and through self-improvement.

Coordinator of teen shelter like mother to kids When runaway, homeless and troubled teens feel like they have no place to go, Homeward Bound Shelter Coordinator Kate Arthur is there for them. At the shelter, located in Covington, Arthur works to recognize each individual teen’s needs and does whatever she has to do to get their life on track, said Connie Frecing, the youth service department director for Brighton Center, the agency that runs the shelter. “Kate does whatever it takes to get the job done and goes over and beyond what is asked of her,” Frecing said. “She is a huge advocate for youth and her connection to these kids is just unbelievable.” Bear Clifton, development director for the center, said Kate is like a mom to the teens, who in many cases have nobody they can depend on. Kate, who has been with the Brighton Center in various positions for five years, said she has a natural feel-

ing to want to help others. “I absolutely love my job and working with the teens,” Kate said. “I have a great staff and we work very hard at making the shelter a home environment.” Kate, a Villa Hills resident, has won various awards for her work, most recently the Brighton Center’s 2009 Super Nova Award. Kate said the administration at the Brighton Center pushes employees to do everything they can to help others and that helps to continually make the agency’s programs better. Currently, Arthur is working to expand the shelter’s program that assists 17 and 18 year olds prepare for living on their own. “We are trying to teach them how to be adults and take care of themselves,” Kate said. “These kids really have a lot to offer if you just take the time to listen to them.”

The friendship shared by six girls for more than 12 years is a badge of camaraderie they found together as Girl Scouts. The girls, all seniors in high school now, are members of Troop 324 based in Cold Spring. From camping trips as young scouts to charity collection drives of food and clothing and most recently being the sole organizers of the Cold Spring Day in the Park children’s event Oct. 4. Amanda Kinnett of Cold Spring, a senior at Campbell County High School, said meeting new people all the time and making life-long friends has been the best part about scouting. While there were at times as many as 14 girls in the troop, the core group of six girls who met in kindergarten has stuck with scouting, Kinnett said. “All six of us, we’re all really close friends,” she said. Kinnett said her favorite scouting memories including spending a night camping out in the mummy and space exhibits at the Center Of Science and Industry (COSI) in Columbus. The troop also works with youngest groups of Girl Scouts as mentors. “Hopefully, some of these little girls that we help, hopefully they stick with it because it’s fun,” Kinnett said. Another troop member, Emily Hurtt of Cold Spring, said being in the Girl Scouts opens doors in the community, and the civic work they’ve done will be good on a college application.

The members of Girl Scouts of America Troop 324 from Cold Spring who have known each other since kindergarten from left are Kristen Griffieth, Sarah West, Gabrielle Riffe, Jenna Cavanaugh, Amanda Kinnett and Emily Hurtt. While the troop still does their fair share of nature activities, much of what they do is really about being active in the community through charity collections that put them in face-toface contact with people, Hurtt said. “We have done coat drives and food drives,” she said. It’s not just about learning about nature and technology, but also to grow as a person, she said.

There are countless other Girl Scouts of America troops, many organized by schools, just within Campbell County.

There are about 20 Girl Scout troops arranged by age, grade and school just within the Cold Spring and Highland Heights area, Cavanaugh said. While Cavanaugh’s membership drive is focusing on girls from Highland Heights, Cold Spring and Alexandria, she will link anyone interested with a troop leader from their area of Campbell County. The cost to register as a scout is $12 a year.

Annual Christmas tour showcases historic homes, renovated mansion A magnificently renovated home, once owned by a Wiedemann Brewing magnate, and a distinctive condominium in a Gothic Revival church are only two of the memorable homes on the 16th Annual Victorian Christmas Tour. The tour, which runs from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 5 and 6, is presented by Newport's East Row Historic Neighborhood. The East Row Historic District is the second largest district in Kentucky and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The tour will showcase seven private historic homes - six of which have never opened to the public - and the beautifully restored Gen. James Taylor Mansion, originally built in 1815. The mansion, a Greek Revival style that now houses the law firm of Gerner & Kearns Co., was totally restored in 2005 by Dave and Maureen Gerner. The mansion features massive mahogany doors and silverplated hardware from Cincinnati-based Eagle Ironworks throughout, elegant double parlors with original Rococo plasterwork and a spectacular mahogany and cherry semicircular staircase. After touring the mansion, which is also the site for ticket sales, visitors can walk through the homes, which reflect Queen Anne, French chateau, Gothic Revival and Italianate architecture styles. Interior features include original staircases, fireplace mantles and woodwork. While garlands and greenery are hardly needed for the homes, which were selected for their distinctive interiors and exteriors and

historic design, the residences and mansion will be decorated in their holiday finery. Besides holiday décor, visitors will see newly renovated kitchens, master suites, bathrooms, a sun porch and other areas. Among the highlights: • An 1883 four-story Italianate home, originally built for Charles Wiedemann, the son of George Wiedemann Brewing Co founder George Wiedemann Sr. The property has undergone extensive interior renovations since 2003 when the current homeowners purchased it. Formerly divided into nine apartments, the 6,000-square-foot home was returned to a single-family dwelling, with the owners ripping out apartment walls, all the bathrooms and kitchens, and removing the seven-foot dropped ceilings, which hid12-foot ceilings that were decorated with remnants of ornate plasterwork, which craftsmen restored. • With its exterior freshly painted in five historic shades, a circa 1891 Queen Anne features original plaster ceiling medallions, an ornately carved staircase (a reproduction of the original), a new screened-in porch and a kitchen designed by the owner with custom cabinets, honed Carerra marble countertops and a hexagon tile floor. • The tour's first “Historic Homein-Progress,” meant to give visitors a first-hand look at the restoration process, is a circa 1895 Queen Anne undergoing a total restoration from a two-family to a single family home. Currently, the homeowners are work-

ing on the second and third floors, which feature unique, identical front and rear staircases, four original mantels and period light fixtures, including an original gaslight fixture. The home will also be on the 2010 tour so visitors can see the completed restoration. • Two condominiums - one in an 1893 Gothic Revival church, originally The First Presbyterian Church - that is designed around the original stained glass windows and a Koehnkent Grimm pipe organ. The second condo is in The Hannaford, a Beaux Artsstyle structure built in 1902 that was designed by noted architect Samuel Hannaford. (Hannaford also designed Cincinnati's City Hall and Music Hall.) The Hannaford served as a Catholic all-girls school from 1934 to 1983. For the convenience of visitors, a shuttle will make periodic stops along the route during tour hours. Restrooms will also be available. While the East Row Historic District may be easily maneuvered by wheelchairs, the homes on the tour are not handicapped accessible. Tour tickets are $18 per person will be available at the James Taylor Mansion, 335 E. Third St., during tour hours. Advanced tickets are $15 each and may be purchased online at www.eastrow.org or at Kentucky Haus, 411 E. 10th St. Children age 12 and under will be admitted free. A portion of tour proceeds will go to St. Paul's Food Pantry, operated by St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Newport. St. Paul's Food Pantry serves an average of 200 families per month in Newport and Bellevue.

Hear what some of your friends think of you innate common sense. Prudence is the intellectual ability to choose the right means toward a worthy end. Father Lou howYouoftenknow we Guntzelman struggle with Perspectives puzzling questions of how to spend our money, where to direct our time, how to handle the competing demands of our lives, how to settle differences, etc. A student may wrestle with dilemmas such as, “I think it would be more responsible to stay home and study for the test and not to go to the movies; yet, I’ve been working hard, maybe I deserve a break or find time to do both.” A judgment is called for. A pru-

dent judgment. Situations crying for a prudent decision seem endless in life: how to break bad news gently; whether to punish a fault or let it go this time; how much to become further involved in a risky or flirtatious relationship; what legislation to vote for in an election that will best promote the common good, etc.? All such matters, great and small, are governed by prudence. We become a prudent and wise person not in making one prudent decision. Prudence is the acquired habit of always, or nearly always, choosing the right means to achieve morally good ends. At times it can be agonizing and demand much of us. Former Yale chaplain William Sloane Coffin said, “The first of the four cardinal virtues of the Roman Catholic Church is ‘prudentia,’

$1,000. After the serviceman left, friends and other companies she contacted all raised questions about the air duct cleaning – including whether she really had mold as the serviceman claimed. So, she called and requested a refund, but it was denied. “They said because they had already done the treatment they put it through,” said Smith. I showed Smith the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommendation about duct cleaning. It said duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. “I really wish I would have read this beforehand,”

prudence. While love is the underlying motive for moral action, the essence of moral judgment itself is the astute and wise judgment we exercise by sifting through all the alternatives presented by the concrete world. And since the alternatives are often so complex, wise judgment is itself a skill and constitutes the virtue called prudence. So, if you hear some friends have called you the most prudent person they know, smile, don’t frown. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

SECRETS OF EGYPT

Don’t let air duct cleaners clean you out A local woman says she now regrets ever responding to an ad for air duct cleaning. Although the price in the ad sounded good, she says she had no idea what she was getting herself into. What happened to her should be a cautionary tale for everyone. Nicole Smith of Fort Thomas says she now realizes she should have doublechecked before agreeing to more and more duct cleaning after responding to an ad. “It said they would clean 14 vents and one return for $49.95. I was like, ‘They’re not that dirty, just kind of sweep it through and get it out of there,’ ” she said. Smith said when the serviceman arrived things were different. “He even refused to clean the ducts because he said they had to have something done. He wouldn’t do it, he said he had to treat it first,” she said. Smith ended up agreeing to a host of things. “It was treatment for a sanitizer to control germs, bacteria and feces, and a

which basically means damn good thinking. Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.” Yes, prudence takes damn good thinking – not merely egotistically deciding what fits my agenda. If we develop prudence, it usually comes from the widest possible observation and experience of human behavior, understanding what constitutes psychological health, and a conscientious awareness of the general moral principles with which God has imbued mankind. Prudence has little correlation with book learning. Some people seem to develop it more readily, some otherwise intelligent persons appear slow to catch on, and geniuses may be totally deficient. Making prudent choices is often laborious, yet the complexities of life make it ever more necessary. Thomas Aquinas claimed that the central moral virtue was

Smith told me. The EPA said much of the dirt and dust in air ducts simply adheres to the duct surfaces and does not necessarily enter the living space. So, it said, cleaning should be considered for only severe cases of mold, dust and debris. The EPA also said, “Pollutants that enter the home both from outdoors and indoor activities such as cooking, cleaning, smoking or just moving around can cause greater exposure to contaminants than dirty air ducts.” I contacted the company Smith had hired, explained how it failed to give her three days in which to cancel, as required by law, and the company has now given Smith all her money back.

If, in your absence, some friends of yours said you were one of the most prudent people they knew – would you feel complimented or criticized? Prudence sounds a lot like “prude,” doesn’t it? So, are you offended? What is prudence, and what does it mean to be prudent? Prudence is the first of four virtues traditionally named as the most important in the ethical order. As far back as Plato and Aristotle the virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance have been praised. In “A Concise Dictionary of Theology,” Gerald Collins S. J. says that prudence “entails the capacity to translate general norms and ideals into practice.” A Christian prudence is more than a mere shrewdness to win your case or avoid harsh consequences.

An easy beef stir fry, a colorful Jell-O dessert Whenever I’m out and about, someone will come up and mention the column. It keeps me aware of what you want. A few weeks ago I got an Rita unusual Heikenfeld request for Rita’s kitchen e a s y , healthy meals. Now that part of the request is not unusual, but the fellow who asked is a bit unusual in that he has some ties to a pretty important “person.” Father Rob Waller, pastor at St. Andrew’s in Milford, needed healthier recipes “a bachelor like me could make.” I sent him some and I’m thinking that my little favor might result in Father Rob putting in a good word for me with the “right people.” If you have easy recipes for folks like Father Rob, please share.

Velma Papenhaus’ three-layer holiday paradise Jell-O loaf

Funny how far a friendship can take you. Dick Herrick, a Mason reader, and I have been friends since we met at Alvey Ferguson, a conveyor company in Oakley, eons ago. I was a bilingual secretary and Dick was an interning college student. Dick’s former neighbors, the Papenhauses, have been close friends of his family for many years. That friendship and this column led Velma to me with her favorite Jell-O recipe . “Red on bottom, white in middle and green on top. Very colorful for holidays,” she said. I think Velma should invite Dick and me over to enjoy a big plateful! Velma uses a Pyrex dish, about 11by-8.

My editor, Lisa Mauch, is my best researcher. Here's what she found on the Web regarding Mullane’s: • In 1848, William and Mary Mullane opened a small store in the West End and began selling taffy and molasses candy. (Cincinnati Magazine) • In the 1940s, Mullane’s operated a tea shop/restaurant in the arcade of the Carew Tower. Eventually the restaurant closed and was sold, but the name Mullane's was retained and a small restaurant by that name operated on Race Street between Seventh and Eighth streets until 2004.

Take charge of holiday spending

PROVIDED.

Trick-or-treat

Jacob Campbell and Henry McIntosh of Southgate were excited to see that they were both dressed as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for trick-or-treat Oct. 31.

The hustle and bustle of the holidays may spur more anxiety than usual this year, as many American consumers look for ways to curb their spending. However, it is possible to spread holiday cheer without breaking the bank. A recent survey from the National Retail Federation indicates that the economy will affect two-thirds of families’ holiday plans, with the majority of these consumers opting to simply spend less. “It’s emotionally draining to worry about spending money that you just don’t have, especially during the holidays,” said Mike Sullivan, director of education for Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling agency. “Yet a few basic adjustments can make for a happy holiday without the hangover of post-holiday debt.” ‘Tis the season to save and Sullivan offers five tips to get started: • Make a Family Rule – Many of us talk ourselves

into spending extra cash when we locate the perfect gift. So to avoid overindulging, agree to spending limits with your family and friends. For example, no gifts over $10, $20 or $50. When families stick to the rule, everyone saves and no one feels bad or embarrassed that they didn’t spend more. • Communicate with Younger Kids – The holidays are about much more than gifts. Remind younger children about the true meaning of the season and make it clear why expensive gifts aren’t needed, especially in the current economic climate. It’s also the perfect time to start new family traditions that don’t center on exchanging gifts. • Homemade Décor Feels Like Home – There’s no need to go overboard on decorations. Making your own can be both economical and environmentally friendly. A little paint, glitter and a few pine cones are a fast and festive way to spruce up your holiday

décor. And don’t forget about last year’s decorations. If they’re in good shape, don’t purchase new versions just because it’s a new season. • Holiday Parties on a Budget – Being the host doesn’t mean the entire party should be on your dime. Throw a potluck and ask guests to bring their own beverages. These types of invitations are perfectly acceptable and can save a lot of cash. Or, just keep things small and intimate with your family and closest friends – your guests will appreciate just being together. Good conversation and laughter is free. • Create a Spending Plan and Stick to it – Before starting your seasonal shopping, determine how much money you have available for holiday spending. Create a list of gift recipients, set a budget for each gift and write down gift ideas before you set foot in a store. To find more money-saving tips, visit www.takechargeamerica. org.

‘Stop the Bop’

Former Northern Kentucky University student Adam Gregory returned to campus earlier this week and donated money to the Freshman Service Leadership Committee’s “Stop the Bop” fundraiser. The “Stop the Bop” fundraiser had the FSLC playing the Surfin’ Bird song repeatedly on the NKU plaza, trying to reach a goal of $500 for a holiday party for The Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky. Members urged fellow students and staff to donate money to turn off the music. The money will be used for gifts and a holiday party on Friday, Dec. 4. Members raised more than $300 during the three-day fundraiser. Currently, the home has 45 boys that range from 6-17 years old. Since there are so many boys, the FSLC is currently looking for individuals to sponsor a child. The gifts are approximately $25 per child. To sponsor a child, contact Rebekah James at rebekah.james@kycompact.o rg or at 859-572-6046

NKU’s Paint the Plaza Purple event to support American Cancer Society luminarias for $5 each that individuals can purchase in memory of a friend or family member they know who has or had cancer. “Relay for Life is as much an awareness raiser as it is a fund raiser,” said Ashley Clos, American Cancer Society representative “We all have been touched by cancer in some way, either personally or with a family member or friend, and the involvement here is proof of the progress being made in fighting cancer.” Last year, NKU’s Relay for Life brought out many in support of cancer survivors and research. Twenty-two teams participated a year ago. “We hope to get more teams than ever before,”

is $100 per team, but teams that sign up at Paint the Plaza Purple or online before December 31 will be able to register at a rate of only $75 per team. Paint the Plaza Purple is designed to get people to notice the effects of cancer and to recruit students to participate in and become more aware of Relay for Life. “This will be our fifth year in hosting Relay for Life on campus,” said Nikki Sherbourne, NKU Relay for Life event chair. “It is one of the biggest events at NKU, and we hope to keep it that way.” There will be men’s and women’s T-shirts for sale during Paint the Plaza Purple for $15 each, as well as

Northern Kentucky University’s Relay for Life Committee will kick off its fifth year with Paint the Plaza Purple Nov. 17-18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a booth in the Student Union where students can pay $1 to put their hand in purple paint and leave their print on a “Why I Relay” banner showing their support for cancer research. All proceeds will go toward the Relay for Life at NKU. Teams that want to participate in Relay for Life, which will take place Jan. 29, 2010, are also encouraged to sign up their Relay team during Paint the Plaza Purple. By doing so, teams will receive a significant discount. The usual sign-up fee

24,060 people in Kentucky will be diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and an estimated 9,410 Kentuckians will die from some form of the disease. NKU’s Relay for Life Committee is also seeking out any cancer survivors to be honored at the Relay for Life event. “We want to try to find cancer survivors to attend our event, and even to create a team,” Clos said. “By having survivors present, everyone participating is able to see that their efforts are going to a good cause and survivors can see that people truly care.” If you are interested in participating in the Relay for Life, or are a survivor who is interested in being involved in the event, contact Nikki

said Sherbourne. “Last year we raised $10,292. We want to do better than last year, so NKU can be a larger part of supporting the cause.” The money raised through Relay for Life and other American Cancer Society events goes toward areas of cancer research, of which more than $1.2 million is funding cancer research in Kentucky alone. Funds also go toward services such as transportation assistance for cancer patients, cancer support groups and the 1-800-2272345 telephone number that has trained cancer counselors available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is estimated that

American Cancer Society annual Baron’s Ball goes Western Saddle up, partner, and get ready to ride out west for the American Cancer Society’s annual gala to help raise awareness and funds in the fight against cancer. What was formerly the society’s longstanding gala event known as the Striders’ Ball has taken on a Western twist for 2010. The Baron’s Ball will be held April 24 at the METS Center in Erlanger. “We want to let everyone know

ST A F THE

about the Baron’s Ball so they can dust off their cowboy boots and shine up their belt buckles,” said Louise Kent, event chairperson. “The ball will have an upscale country theme to it. Cowboys can come wearing their boots and blue jeans, just add a black tie and a cowboy hat!” Plans are still under way for the Baron’s Ball with an upscale, Western-style chuck wagon dinner and dancing. Also planned are old-time

photographs for guests, games and a mechanical bull for those “urban cowboys.” The event will help in the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer and its mission to save lives and celebrate more birthdays by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back. “The Striders’ Ball has been a huge success for us,” said Jamie Webb, executive director with the

Northern Kentucky office of the American Cancer Society. “The switch to the Baron’s Ball offers a new take on our gala event that will let folks come out and kick up their heels for the cause of saving lives and celebrating more birthdays.” For more information on the Baron’s Ball, contact Kristen Cline at 859-372-7873 or e-mail her at Kristen.Cline@cancer.org.

NEWS FROM NKU Take Back the Night

Northern Kentucky University will host a Take Back the Night rally to raise awareness of gender-based violence on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., beginning at the Bank of Kentucky Center and proceeding to the NKU Student Union. The free public event will feature a candlelit march through campus, speakers and a moment of silence for those who have lost their lives to violence. At the conclusion of the march, there will be a final speaker and a “speak-out” point where victims of violence can share their stories. There will also be tables set up by various organizations and crisis centers to provide information and support. Donations to the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati will also be collected. The event is sponsored by an NKU Gender and Communication class and NKU Housing through the generosity of a donation from Catholic Health Initiatives Northern Kentucky Mission team.

Award Celebration

The entrepreneurship students at Northern Kentucky University honored Daniel L. Baker, president and CEO of Baker Concrete Construction, Inc. as the 2009 Master Entrepreneur Award recipient at the fourth annual Master Entrepreneur Awards Celebration at the NKU METS Center for Corporate Learning. A master entrepreneur is an individual who has achieved success in his or her chosen industry by utilizing innovation, dedication and forward thinking to succeed in business. While a student at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Baker learned and mastered the cement finisher’s trade through his grandfather, Elmer Baker. From that small office, Baker has built Baker Concrete Construction into a nationally recognized company of

TENN

more than 4,300 employees. The organization has been touted as having a homegrown atmosphere while building a culture of fast growth. Baker, a top 20 leader of the Cincinnati Enquirer’s “Greater Cincinnati 100,” has led Baker Concrete Construction to become a non-hierarchical or “gray collar” organization that does not recognize a gap between white and blue collar employees. In addition, Baker Concrete Construction, known for its hard work, customer satisfaction, quality and the ability to meet schedules, has been ranked among Engineering New Record’s top three specialty concrete contractors for the past 20 years. For the past four years, a committee of students, through the leadership of the NKU Fifth Third Bank Entrepreneurship Institute, has bestowed this award on an entrepreneur who has demonstrated mastery in entrepreneurship. This event is a student-managed, student-driven and student-led celebration of the spirit of entrepreneurship in this region.

NKU Media Arts Festival

Area high school students recently explored filmmaking with professionals during the first Northern Kentucky University Media Arts Festival. More than 100 students attended the event, which was hosted by the NKU Department of Communication. The festival engaged upper-class high school students from Dixie Heights, Owen County, Scott, Simon Kenton and Summit Country Day high schools. The festival, which took place in the NKU Student Union, featured workshops with area film professionals and provided high school students the opportunity to participate in a film competition. More than 20 local industry pro-

ESSE

fessionals were on hand to lead workshops, participate in panel discussions and answer questions. Designed for the next generation of media creators, the festival featured keynote speaker NKU alumna Sheree Paolello, the lead anchor for the Channel 5 evening news team. Anyone interested in attending next year’s festival, participating as a sponsor or donor or for more information, visit http://nkumediafest.org.

Professors honored

Dr. Aron Levin and Dr. Greg Martin, associate professors of marketing in the Northern Kentucky University Haile/US Bank College of Business, were honored with the prestigious Cengage Pride/Ferrell Innovations in Teaching Award at the recent 2009 annual conference of the Society for Marketing Advances. Their innovation, High Involvement Learning: The Student Insight Panel, was selected by reviewers as one of six finalists for presentation to the SMA membership. A panel of five distinguished marketing educators made the final selection after judging all presentations. Levin and Martin’s work will be featured as the invited lead article in Marketing Education Review’s annual “Innovations in Marketing Education” special issue.

Mobile and Web academy

The Northern Kentucky University College of Informatics has launched a Mobile and Web Academy as a progressive research and development program for emerging technologies in the mobile and web 2.0 arenas. The Academy focuses on producing new tools and resources for the growing mobile market while educating students, professionals and the community on these new and exciting

technologies. Providing this service to a growing set of entrepreneurs across the nation is a significant opportunity for faculty, staff and students in the NKU College of Informatics. At the center of this new initiative lies an aggressive mobile development program, which has produced more than 10 iPhone applications in less than a year, with many more applications currently in various stages of development. The Academy has developed mobile technologies for a variety of organizations such as banking institutions, athletic groups, higher education and the private sector. The Academy works closely with the Office of Information Technology to support mobile applications used by NKU students, including the iNKU app released earlier this year. More information the Mobile and Web Academy can be accessed via the Web at http://imi.nku.edu.

IT Security

The Northern Kentucky University College of Informatics has completed its “State of IT Security in 2009” – an extensive nationwide study of IT security policies, practices and performance. The study collected information from more than 500 organizations across the United States representing a wide variety of industry sectors and organization sizes. Security was identified as the top concern for managing IT, but nearly half of the respondents indicated they had not fully developed security-related policies and procedures. Results indicate that protecting the organization’s reputation, customer confidence and customer information are the leading concerns currently driving security initiatives. The results of the study indicate additional security measures are

clearly necessary for all organizations, but particularly for smaller organizations. The study found that less than 60 percent of organizations conduct a formal IT audit, frequently reporting a lack of awareness and funding as reasons. Information presented during the third annual IMI Security Symposium will focus on results from this study and approaches organizations can take to improve security. The event will take place Oct. 30 at the NKU METS Center in Erlanger and is free to attend but requires an R.S.V.P. at http://imi.nku.edu/security.

Deardurff named director

Northern Kentucky University announced today that Dayle Deardurff is the new director of its Institute for Nonprofit Capacity. Deardurff joins NKU after serving as the CEO of Cincinnati Works and previously serving as executive director for both Public Allies and ProKids. She brings to her new position significant experience in working with nonprofits across the Greater Cincinnati region as both a leader and capacity building consultant. Her deep understanding of the issues currently facing nonprofits provides focused and innovative leadership for the INC. Begun in 2005 with the generous support of the United Way and Greater Cincinnati Foundation, INC has undergone a thorough transformation over the past year under the careful guidance of past INC director John Vissman and Mark Neikirk, executive director of NKU’s Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement. INC also provides the sector with applied research. Deardurff holds a B.A. from Bowling Green State University and a J.D. from Creighton University. She is married with two children.
