District maintaining flu precautions By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Kenton County Superintendent Tim Hanner said the district is continuing to exercise caution with regards to the H1N1 flu virus after several alleged cases have been reported around the Northern Kentucky area in recent weeks. The H1N1 flu virus, which was originally called the swine flu, has had 17 cases confirmed by the Northern Kentucky Health Department since April. However, that number might not be an accurate representation, as individuals who test positive for the flu are presumed to have swine flu and not a seasonal strain. Only in certain cases are individuals being tested specifically for the swine flu, such as a person sick enough to be hospitalized or a pregnant woman. Hanner said the district has had no such reported cases, either with students or staff, and is still taking precautions to ensure it remains that way. “This is something we’re taking very seriously, but it’s also a case where we’re not looking to cause a panic,” he said. “It’s a situation we’re monitoring very closely, and we’ll continue to do just that.” Hanner said the district has formed a task force that meets weekly to discuss new information about the H1N1 strain, extra precautions the schools could be taking, and any other news that could be relevant.

Hand sanitizer is each classroom is one precaution the district is using to guard against the spread of germs, especially the H1N1 flu virus. The district has not had any reported cases. “This is something we’re evolving with, and it’s going to change as we learn more,” he said. “We’re just working to stay ahead of it and making sure we’re doing all we can.” Among precautions Hanner said the district is taking include placement bottles of hand sanitizer all over the school to guard against the spread of germs. The district is also notifying parents
about symptoms of the flu, and encouraging them to keep their children at home if symptoms start to appear. Children are also being encouraged to do all they can to avoid spreading germs, such as not sharing drinking containers in the lunchroom, washing their hands during the day, covering their mouths when coughing, and using tissues whenever possible.

“There’s always a fine line between being concerned and creating paranoia,” said Hanner. “We’re not trying to cause any undue concern, but we’re taking this very seriously, just as we have been all along.” For more information about the district’s H1N1 policy, visit www.kenton.k12.ky.us or contact your child’s school.
Ever wonder about The Lookout House, the advent of the fire department or why there’s a Lorup Avenue in the city of Fort Wright? Find your answers about the “City of Cities” (dubbed that after the incorporation of the cities of South Hills, Lookout Heights and Lakeview into Fort Wright) in the newest installment of the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing. Lifelong resident Julia Hurst wrote the book, which became available for sale at Walgreens, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com Sept. 7. Hurst is the granddaughter of Pete Nienaber, the city’s longestserving fire chief. “I believe every person who reads the book will see at least one picture they’ve never seen before or learn some bit of history they didn’t know,” said Hurst, who is the executive director of the National Lieutenant Governors Association. More than 40 residents allowed Hurst to use their personal collection of photos, Hurst said, and residents’ excitement about the book has been “wonderful,” she said. For that reason, Hurst made sure one of her three book signings in the area would take place

This photo of a gas station taken in 1925 in Fort Wright is just one of the many photographs of the city’s bygone days in the Fort Wright edition of the Images of America Series by Arcadia Publishing. The book, written by lifelong resident Julia Hurst, was released Sept. 7. Hurst will sign copies of her book at Sept. 19 at the Fort Wright Walgreens, Sept. 26 at the Florence Barnes & Noble and Oct. 3 at the Newport Barnes & Noble. in Fort Wright. The first signing will be Sept. 19 at the Walgreens in the city. “We had so many people who were enthusiastic about the book. I hope the local population comes out, shares stories, swaps ideas and lets me know what they think,” Hurst said. Hurst said the city has a “sto-
ried and fascinating” history ranging from the defense of Northern Kentucky at Battery Hooper to an overnight visit from President Richard Nixon. Hurst said she also uncovered information about Fort Wright’s connection to a small town in Germany called Lorup. In 1930, George Kreutzjans Sr.
left Lorup and settled in Fort Wright. Called the “father of Fort Wright,” Kreutzjans built more than 200 homes in early Fort Wright and served more than 20 years on city council. People who knew Kreutzjans in the old country followed him and settled there as well, including the parents of Bernie Wessels, who is also a lifelong resident and one of the owners of Wessels Construction. Wessels’ parents immigrated from Lorup, but didn’t meet until they had both settled in Fort Wright. “I feel like I have some awfully big shoes to fill as far as service to the city and the community,” said Wessels, whose family contributed many of the photos used in Hurst’s book. “There’s a lot of good people who did a lot of good things for this city and you just didn’t realize it until Julia put it all together.”

Edgewood still looking into leaf collection options By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Edgewood city officials say they’ll continue to explore the possibility of contracting for leaf collection, although several council members aren’t optimistic it will become a reality this year. Stan Goetz, the city’s general services director, said that numerous residents had requested the city look into the possibility of a city-wide leaf collection this fall. Goetz reported at the Sept. 14 council meeting that a quote for a one-time, city-wide collection was $16,000. An additional pick-up, which would likely happen near the end of fall, would be $20,000. “I just don’t know that
this is the year to spend $36,000 on this,” said councilman Dale Henson. “With the economy where it is, I think we’ll have to take a pass for right now.” Goetz also said that the company would work with individual households, but would need a minimum of 200 houses to sign up. If 200 houses signed up, the cost per household would be $50. If 300 houses signed up, the cost would be $35. The city would be responsible for the billing of the houses. To date, city administrator Roger Rolfes said only about 30 households had expressed interest in an arrangement. “The leaves haven’t really fallen yet, so I guess there is a chance we could get some more people inter-
ested in the next few weeks,” said Henson. “But I just don’t see a lot of people wanting to sign up for this. I think most people would rather take care of it themselves.” Rolfes said the city would continue to collect names of interested residents, but unless they are able to meet the minimum, the program likely won’t happen this year. “We had people ask us to look into it, and it just doesn’t look like it’s something that will work this year,” said councilman Ray Spears. “We gave it a shot, but sometimes things just don’t work out.” Anyone interested in leaf collection, or for more information, should contact the city at 331-5910.

Dixie to honor soldier at homecoming By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Dixie Heights High School plans to honor Viet-

Tanner, a 1968 graduate of Dixie, turned down numerous athletic scholarships after high school to join the Marines. He was killed in action on Feb. 19, 1969. Principal Kim Banta says the school will unveil a permanent marker near the football field to honor Tanner and other veterans. The ceremony will start at 6:30 p.m. “We figured this would be a great way to honor the memory of Mr. Tanner and all of our veterans who
have served this country proudly,” she said. The ceremony will include a 21-gun salute and the playing of Taps. All veterans will receive free admission to the game against Ryle, which is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Additionally, the football team will wear special stickers on their helmets displaying Tanner’s No. 88. “It should be a neat evening and a way to show all of our veterans how much we appreciate what they have done for us,” said Banta.

By the end of this year Huff hopes to send the folders to prospective developers with information on site availability. The folders will also be used by city staff
and realtors. “I think it’s going to get people to take another look at Fort Wright,� Huff said of the brand. City officials hope the marketing campaign will stimulate growth in all areas of the city, especially on Dixie Highway and KY-17. Huff agreed with Nienaber in that the city’s convenient location to I-75 and I-275 should be advertised to potential developers. “We’re perfectly situated,� Huff said. “We’re 10 to 15 minutes away from Greater Cincinnati and 10 to 15 minutes away from the airport.�

Fort Mitchell Baptist to celebrate 85th anniversary By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Fort Mitchell Baptist Church is planning on doing things a little differently as they celebrate their 85th anniversary this fall. Instead of receiving gifts, the church will be passing them out instead, as they launch the second phase of their “Share the Love� ministry, starting on Sept. 22.
The six-week outreach program involves visiting every home in the city to deliver fresh-baked cookies, as well as a packet of information about the church and a prayer request card. “Part of our mission has always been to reach out to the community, and this is something we really enjoy doing,� said Joyce Hamberg, chairman of the anniversary committee.
“Since the anniversary is such a big event for us, we figured this was the perfect time to get back out in the community and let people know what we’re all about.� The church launched the first phase of the minstry this spring with positive results, said Hamberg. “It’a a really neat program, and people have responded to it,� she said. Hamberg said Share the Love ministry falls right in line with the theme of the 85th anniversary, which is “Homecoming: A Celebration of the Family�. The church will welcome back in former pastor Rev. Jim Taulman for a special
worship service on Sept. 27, and has a variety of ongoing programs and activities to stay connected to fellow and former members. “We have a group that writes card to people who may have missed a couple services - just to let them know we’re thinking about them,� offered Hamberg as an example. “We just try to do the little things that make people feel like they’re part of a family, and that’s why we’ve been able to be here for so long.� The anniversary week will kick-off on Sept. 21, with the sanctuary remaining open from 8 a.m. until 8
p.m. all week for special prayer time. There is also be a breakfast planned for 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 27 on the church lawn, with worship services scheduled for 10:15 and 11:30 a.m. Following the final worship service, there will be a lunch served in the Fellowship Hall and a concert by Gary Greiser starting at 1 p.m. The anniversary celebration is open to all current and former members, as well as the community.

OKI launches Web redesign
The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) has unveiled its new Web site at www.oki.org. The redesign has transformed OKI’s previous Web site by updating the existing information and adding new links and features. “After months of hard work from our staff, we are proud to unveil the new Web site,� said OKI Board President and Campbell County Judge Executive Steve Pendery. “The new site increases OKI’s ability to communicate how it is improving the region’s transportation network and the economic vitality of communities throughout the region.� Visitors to OKI’s newly
designed Web site can easily access the latest OKI news, find upcoming events, download maps and link to other OKI pages with information involving its Clean Air and RideShare programs. Some other key features of the site include access to information such as developments involving the I71/I-75/Brent Spence Bridge project or area American Recovery and Reinvestment Act projects. It also enables visitors to easily browse important planning documents such as the latest Transportation Improvement Program amendments or the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan. The new Web design also vaults OKI into the
social media universe through links to the agency’s Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts. OKI is experimenting with the social media sites to improve the availability of information and to provide an interactive component for the public. “The enhancements to our Web page allows us to offer volumes of information involving upcoming plans, projects and meetings in a more concise and easily navigable format,� said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “It furthers our pursuit to tell the community we’re here, we’re listening and we’re working hard to improve the Greater Cincinnati area.�

Scott High School seniors Jordan Padgett and Erin Wentworth are the co-founders of a new Writing Club at the high school. Wentworth (right) was also recently chosen out of more than 40 applicants to attend a series of workshops with Cincinnati Enquirer drama critic Jackie Demaline at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.
Cappies student to review shows at Playhouse in the Park By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Scott High School student Erin Wentworth has been critiquing high school theatrical productions for two years and soon she’ll begin doing the same for shows at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. The high school senior, who critiques local high school theatre as part of the national Cappies review and journalism program, was one of 10 local students chosen out of more than 40 applicants to take part in monthly woirkshops with Cincinnati Enquirer drama critic Jackie Demaline. “I was really excited; it was similar to Cappies, but it’s just taking it to the next level with professional shows,” she said. Wentworth will receive complimentary tickets to five productions, which she will review and then discuss with other members of the workshop. “It was harder, it wasn’t what I was expecting it to be,” Wentworth said of writing critically. “You’re actually contributing. When you’re reviewing a play it’s not only being published, but also
actors and actresses get to read it and they get to see your feedback.” The 17-year-old was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of productions by fellow high school students. “In some high schools, it seems like a professional play,” she said. “If you want to see some theater productions and can’t afford to pay $50, the high school theater in some schools is definitely incredible.” Wentworth is also bringing her writing home to Scott by starting up a writing club with fellow senior Jordan Padgett. The students hope to publish a literary magazine with works by Scott students by the end of the school year. “Jordan and I were talking about it and we said ‘We can’t be the only people in Scott who enjoy writing,’” Wentworth said. The duo hope the club will meet every few weeks to do writing exercises and peer edit one another’s work, whether it’s essays, poetry or short stories. “If you’re interesting in writing, a writing club is going to give you better feedback so you can grow,” Padgett said.

Kenton Schools avoid tax increase By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Citing a track record of conservative spending and cost-cutting measures, the Kenton County School Board voted not to increase the tax rate in 2009 at their August 17 meeting. Board President Karen Collins said the board chose not to increase the tax rate based mainly on the economic struggles facing many residents. The 2009 rate for real estate will be $5.58 per $1,000 of assessed value, with the personal property rate being set at $5.59 per $1,000 of assessed value. The real estate rate remains the same as 2008, with the personal property rate rising one cent. The expected revenue for the 2009 rates is $40,532,797. “We felt this was the responsible thing to do in this economy,” said Collins. “We wanted to do our part to help out residents, because these are tough times for everyone.” Superintendent Tim Hanner said the board was able to avoid a
rate increase because of their financial efficiency in recent years, including cutting their operating costs by approximately $3.1 million last school year. “The best part of that though is that we didn’t impact the classroom,” said Hanner, saying most of the reduction can be attributed to reorganization of transportation and reducing energy costs. “Whenever we’re looking for ways to reduce our costs, the biggest thing is making sure it doesn’t effect out students’ learning, and we’ve been able to do that.” Despite the expected decrease in state funding over the next few years, Hanner said the school board didn’t hesitate to approve the compensating rate. “I’m real proud of the board for doing what they thought was right,” he said. “Because we’ve always been so efficient with our dollars, we’re able to react like this when times are tough.” For more information about the Kenton County School District, visit www.kenton.k12.ky.us.

Students at Howell Elementary will see their hard work pay off a little more than usual this year. The school is starting a program with Mazak, their business partner, to issue students who meet certain criteria a Work Ethic Certificate at the end of the school year. The certificates are available for all students in the school, no matter the age or grade level. To be eligible to receive a certificate, the students must have fewer than five absences, no suspensions and fewer than two detentions. They also must improve their MAP scores, as well as perform at least four hours of community service. Counselor Jennifer Weber said that students and teachers will set their goals for the MAP tests, an assessment given a few times each year that focuses on core content, meaning that students will only be judged against their prior performances, not against other students. And since some students might have trouble scheduling community service opportunities, Weber said the school is offering some chances of their own. “The community service can include doing things around the school, like staying after to help their teacher and working to clean up the area around the school - things like that,” explained counselor Jennifer Weber. “We just want the kids to build good character and take pride in their school.” Principal Eric Saylor said although this is the first year for the program, the school is excited to see the results. “We think it’s going to be a real benefit for the school, because it will keep kids focused on what they need to do,” he said. The students will be assessed throughout the year, and the ones who qualify will receive their certificate at the school’s annual end of the year award ceremony. “It’s really just a cool idea for the kids, and a good

Beechwood second-grader Mason Bushelman stared intently at the music sheet in front of him, trying to follow teacher Alyssa Vanderpool’s lead on the keyboard. “There you go Mason – good job!” exclaimed Vanderpool, watching carefully as he worked his way through the notes. Bushelman grinned back at his teacher. “I knew I could do it,” he said with a proud smile. Smiles are plentiful around Vanderpool’s music room this year, as she was just named the Northern Kentucky Music Teacher of the Year by the Music Educators Association. As a district winner, Vanderpool will also have a chance to be selected as the Kentucky Music Teach of the Year in February. Vanderpool was nominated by Beechwood Band Director Joe Craig for the award, and was selected by

Now in her 10th year at Beechwood, she teaches all aspects of music to a variety of age levels. She works with the high school and eighth-grade choirs, and also teaches general music to students in kindergarten through fourth grade. “I get the best of both worlds, because I get to do all different levels of teaching every day,” she said. “It’s what I love doing.” And despite the looming state awards in February, she said she’s just trying to

Next games: Better defense expected By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com
Bellevue and Scott high schools expect to get more out of their defenses in their next games after each team surrendered more than 40 points in their last contest. The Eagles defense will need to bounce back quickly after surrendering 48 points, including the game winning touchdown and two-point conversion with 15 seconds remaining. Bellevue has a bye the weekend of Sept. 18. The Tigers have more time to recover after giving up 41 points but escaping with a victory. These two teams played each other to a thrilling finish Friday, Sept. 11. Senior running back Ricky Buckler scored a threeyard touchdown run with 15 seconds remaining to give the Tigers the 48-41 win. Buckler rushed 31 times for 285 yards and four touchdowns to carry the Tigers to victory. He got plenty of help from his quarterback, senior Richard Wills. Wills completed 13 of 16 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown. He led his team 80 yards down the field for the winning score in just over two minutes. “He played a whale of a game,” Bellevue head coach Dave Eckstein of his quarterback said. “That last drive was phenomenal.” Tigers kicker Kaylynn Dill was 2-4 on extra point tries in the game. Eckstein did not want to put his kicker in a position to attempt a game-winning field goal. He wanted Wills to drive his team down the field for a touchdown. The senior quarterback delivered. His counterpart also turned in a gutsy performance. Eagles senior quarterback/kicker/punter/punt returner/kick returner/ strong safety Zach Sowder nearly led his team to a come-from-behind victory. Sowder rushed for 279 yards, passed for 45 yards, rushed for two touchdowns, threw for another, and kicked five extra points. “He does a little bit of everything for us and does it all extremely well,” Scott offensive coordinator Dan Wolley said. Bellevue built a 28-14 lead late in the first half. Buckler scored on the Tigers first offensive play of the game, an 86-yard run. The Eagles scored with less than a minute remaining in the half on a 51-yard halfback pass from Ryan Sowder to Aaron Smith to cut the halftime deficit to seven.

Beechwood’s No. 32 Joe Colosimo pushes Holy Cross No. 8 Jordan Norris out of the way Sept. 11 during the game at Beechwood. Simon Kenton hosts undefeated Lexington Henry Clay High School at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18.
“That play changed the momentum going into the second half,” said Eckstein, who was not happy with his team’s mental lapse on the play. The teams exchanged touchdowns throughout the second half. Zach Sowder connected with Nick Farris for a 23yard score to give the Eagles their first lead of the game with less than three minutes to play. That was enough time for Wills to lead the Tigers back down the field. Bellevue, a Class 1A team, split its first four game of the season, all against bigger schools. “We challenged our team and it made us better,” Eckstein said. “We think it will really help us for district play. We’ve seen what we need to beat good teams.” Scott, a Class 5A team, drops to 0-3 on the year after suffering a heartbreakingly close loss for the second straight week. They bounced back against Bellevue after a one-point loss to Cooper. They will look to rebound again Sept. 18 against Harrison County. “Our kids are still fighting, still believing,” Wolley said. “We’ve gotten better every week. We’re proud of our team for putting ourselves in games and fighting to the end.”

Beechwood running back Joe Colosimo scored his fourth touchdown of the game on the Tigers OT possession. Joey Nussbaum’s extra point was good and the Tigers came away with a win. Beechwood travels to Covington Catholic at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 and Holy Cross hosts Conner Sept. 18.
Simon Kenton 56, Shroder Paideia 21
Simon Kenton (3-0) had no trouble against its opponent from Cincinnati. Miles Simpson rushed 12 times for 101 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Chad Lawrence added 13 carries for 49 yards and two scores. He also completed 11 of 15 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns. The Pioneers scored the first 28 points of the game and led 42-6 at halftime.
Covington Catholic 33, Campbell County 14
Capturing his first win since taking over Covington Catholic’s program, head coach Dave Wirth and the Colonels improved to 1-3 with its win over Campbell County, 33-14. Covington Catholic hosts Beechwood (1-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. The Colonels gained 205 yards on the ground and produced 383 yards of total offense during its win over Campbell County. Quarterback Brayden Erpenbeck had 308 yards of total offense including 131 yards rushing on 26 carries while scoring two touchdowns on the ground. Erpenbeck also was 16for-24 passing for 178 yards.

UK recruit O’Conner focused on season jweber@nky.com
Lauren O’Conner is focused on helping the Scott volleyball team have an outstanding season. The towering junior hitter was recently named Kentucky’s state player of the week by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
She led Northern Kentucky in kills as the Eagles flew off to an outstanding 19-2 start to the season. “It was exciting,” she said of the AVCA award. “We’ve had some good wins. We’re playing really well. We have a really good chemistry.” O’Conner has verbally committed to play at the next level for the University
of Kentucky. “I always wanted to go to UK. It’s my dream school,” she said. “Everything is perfect there – the coaches and the girls.” O’Conner and the Eagles won their home-court September Slam tourney for the first time in several years Sept. 5. They beat tough regional rivals such as Conner, Highlands and Simon
Lightning leave opponents blue By James Weber jweber@nky.com
This was the first year for a full-fledged All “A” Classic state tournament in volleyball. Villa Madonna Academy head coach Sandi Kitchen said her team should learn a lot from the championship atmosphere at Eastern Kentucky University Sept. 12. “I’m encouraged by the enthusiasm they have for this,” she said. “It’s nice to have this for volleyball.” It was also good for the Blue Lightning to have a 15-3 record heading into the All “A” tourney. They beat bigger school Conner in their last regular match before heading to Richmond. That broke a two-match losing streak to Beechwood and Highlands when Kitchen said the team came down a little from winning the All “A” regional. “We didn’t pass the ball real well,” Kitchen said. “That is the main skill of our team. It has to be there or we don’t go anywhere. We’re not going to overpower anybody so we have to run a skilled offense.” A big part of that offense is seniors Amy Kreutzer, Stephanie Sias and Kacy Corbit. A fourth senior, Jessica Gresham, is a libero. Sias, Corbit and junior Hannah Knochelmann are the team leaders in kills. Sophomore Jasmine Beal is among the Northern Kentucky leaders in assists. Sias was the most valuable player in the regional tourney. Kreutzer and Beal were all-tournament picks. After the state tourney, VMA will prepare for the overall postseason.
After beating Dixie Heights and Lloyd in district play, the Lightning look to be the No. 2 seed behind power St. Henry. That could lead to Villa qualifying for the Ninth Region tourney for the first time since 2000. They would likely play Dixie in a district tourney semifinal in an elimination match to get to the regional. “Dixie is strong and an up-and-coming team,” Kitchen said. “It was a battle to beat them. They have a new coach and they should improve along the way.”

Gateway Community College a tremendous asset I had an interesting visit at Gateway Community and Technical College’s Boone Campus recently to learn about the economic development programs the school offers. Jim Volz, vice president of Kustom Group in Richwood, and I met with Gateway President Dr. Ed Hughes and members of the college faculty and staff. One mission of the college is skills training – working with businesses in our community to provide customized services and training for their employees. By making sure workers have the skills employers need, we can keep those jobs here in Northern Kentucky rather than overseas. By creating jobs locally, we can raise needed revenue for quality schools and roads without raising taxes.
The college’s Workforce Solutions Department has offered training in a wide variety of programs and workshops, many on-site at State Sen. the company’s John plants places of Schickel business. I’m fascinated at Community how the GateRecorder way staff conguest tact area busiand columnist nesses industry on a regular basis to assess their needs and follow up with them afterwards. It’s a handin-hand partnership and real boost to our local economy.

factory shipment, eliminating waste and saving money. The Gateway Workforce Solutions Department offers lean simulation training as well as lean implementation. Participants work in a simulated factory floor environment, producing an actual product. Students see, feel, and measure the effects as different principles are incorporated into the simulated factory. It’s amazing to see the difference, and it’s an attitude that workers will take with them wherever they go, even if they change jobs down the road. Another benefit that Gateway offers is a program, funded by the General Assembly, that provides 75 percent of the cost of eligible training that a company needs. It’s a simple but effective program
that helps keep jobs here at home by making sure workers have the skills nobody else has. I travel by the campus every day, as do many of you, and I asked Dr. Hughes about the new construction I’ve seen. He explained that it’s the Center for Advanced Manufacturing, which will open in the spring. Business and industry leaders consulted on its design, so we know it will meet their needs. With so many manufacturing jobs in our community, the new center is just what we need to remain competitive with our workforce. Sen.

Last week’s question
Should there be laws banning all use of cell phones while driving? Why or why not?
“This question struck a raw nerve with me and I’m sure with anyone else who has lost a loved one due to the actions of a distacted driver. Absolutely! There should be laws banning all use of cell phones while driving and with severe and costly penalties. It’s bad enough we deal with people that drive under the influence, and now they’re on the phone. I cannot think of any reason that would justify a person using a cell phone while driving.” N.C., Florence “Absolutely! You cannot keep your mind on traffic and on a phone conversation at the same time no matter how smart you think you are. I tried it once to see how it felt and almost ran into three cars. I was sitting at a red light on U.S. 42 and looked to my left, my right and in the rearview mirror. Guess what? All three were on the cells. And drove off yakking.” Duke “Why stop at cell phone use? Why not ban driving with one hand, talking to passengers, eating,

This is in response to a letter to the editor published Sept. 10. I commend the Kenton County School District for allowing students to opt-out of the presidential speech Sept. 8. By doing so, the KCSD reinforced to its students the freedom we have as American citizens and recognized the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children. No one argues the importance of education and personal responsibility. In fact, such a message has greater impact on children coming from parents than from the president. And that’s how it’s supposed to be. However, certain questions children were required to discuss in connection with the address raised understandable cause for concern for some people. The authors’ charge that allowing the choice to opt out was “unAmerican” is erroneous. Freedom is American. It’s duplicitous to call for respect for opposing views then cry “shame on the KCSD” for doing so. I question the authors’

All of these behaviors have resulted in accidents of varying levels of severity in the past. There will always be idiot drivers. Drive defensively. And you control freaks, socialists and hypocrites who want to ban cell phone use while driving, listen up: you can’t effectively run your own lives, so stop trying to run mine.” Jeffrey Learman, Florence “Yes. The distraction while driving only increases the chance of auto accidents. Phones should be used only when the car is parked.” G.G. “There should be laws banning cell phones while driving unless they are completely ‘hands-free.’ A driver’s eyes need to be focused on the road, not looking down at a cell phone.” H.S.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Power resides in family
These services cover a wide range, from lean manufacturing, health care, and customer service skills to Spanish language, Microsoft Office, and even leadership and management training. There’s even training to help workers become certified or licensed in their technical fields like plumbing. Recently, lean manufacturing has been of particular interest to many businesses. That was one of the reasons Jim and I wanted to learn more about Gateway’s programs, because Toyota has become a leader in the automotive field and a real asset to Kentucky’s economy because of their emphasis on lean manufacturing. It’s not just a skill; it’s a philosophy of efficiency that shortens the time between customer order and
true motives when they label legitimate views which oppose theirs as, “hatred, hostility, intolerance.” Disagreement is necessary to the “meaningful debate” the authors claim to want while at the same time implying opposing voices should be silenced. The authors call on people to think for themselves. That is precisely why a choice to opt out was appropriate. We don’t live in a dictatorship. The country fails if “We the People” fail. To President Obama, “moving forward” means to “fundamentally transform” America. Thankfully, “We the People” still realize the potential consequences of relinquishing our freedoms and power to the government. “Our children” is also “my children.” And “We the People” don’t want a fundamental transformation of America, especially if it means the real seat of power, which resides within the family, is usurped by the president.

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 Committee 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 elements-new 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 teacher preparation programs do the same thing for teacher candidates. 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. Sam Corbett is chair of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
REGAN COOMER/STAFF
Karen Wehage, owner of Karen’s Consignments on Anderson Road in Crescent Springs, is proud of her shop’s friendly atmosphere and efficient record system that ensures sellers get their cash fast.
Consignment proud of friendly, honest service By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
The staff of Karen’s Consignments on Anderson Road in Crescent Springs wants you to shop and sell in the friendliest consignment store around. Owner Karen Wehage opened the shop four and a half years ago at 2456 Anderson Road. Karen’s specializes in women’s clothing, jewelry, purses, home decor, furniture and more. “When I was a teenager I worked at a consignment store and I always thought how neat – I always wanted my own and thought I could do well with it,” Wehage said. For a $15 startup fee, consignors can sell their unwanted items at a 50/50 split. After 60 days, sellers can pick up their wares or allow Karen’s to donate the items to a local church. “We take just a little bit of everything,” she said. Everything sold in the
store is logged into a computer so that a seller can pick up their cash whenever they want it, Wahage said, adding cleaning out your house and consigning is a good way to de-clutter and to recycle. “It’s a win-win for everybody,” she said. “It’s their money and it’s there waiting for them when they want it.” For shoppers, new items are put on display every Monday and Saturday, so frequent visits could result in great finds. “It’s a good place to shop – there’s no pressure. We make consigning easy,” Wahage said. Currently, Karen’s Consignments is accepting fall wear. Starting Oct. 1, Karen’s will accept winter clothing. Karen’s Consignments is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information about Karen’s Consignments, call 341-3111.

The Community Family Church in Independence will be opening the doors to its expanded Family Pantry at a free pancake breakfast Sept. 26. Pantry volunteers Mamie Tapp and Paul Olzeski showed Pastor Tommy Bates (center) around the pantry Wednesday, Sept. 9.
Church opening pantry doors wide to Tristate By Regan Coomer

Community Family Church wants to help feed the needy in Northern Kentucky. The church, located on Ky-16 in Independence, will open the doors to the newly-expanded Family Pantry at a ribbon cutting and pancake breakfast Saturday Sept. 26. The breakfast is open one and all. Family Pantry and church member Paul Olzeski said while the pantry has been open for years, it used to be in a limited space so “there was a limited amount of people we could help,” he said. Now the pantry can be stocked to feed 50 people and still have plenty of room to spare. “We want the community to know it’s available. We want to help the people of Independence,” he said. The pantry is currently open twice a week after the Wednesday evening and 11 a.m. Sunday services. “I know there are people out there who are hurting and can’t afford to buy food or medication,” Olzeski said.
What: Ribbon cutting and pancake breakfast. When: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 Where: Community Family Church, 11875 Taylor Mill Road, Independence “You take people who are laid off from their jobs with a wife and two children – they’re hurting.” Anyone in the community can come by the pantry twice a month to take home two pounds of hamburger, hot dogs, cheese, bacon, eggs, milk, various canned and nonperishable products and more. If a family needs more than just food, they can also get help with clothing for the entire family as well as cleaning and personal hygiene products. “We’re not going to judge anybody, we’re just going to help them,” Olzeski said. In order to visit the pantry, Community Family Church is asking peo-
ple to attend a church service to get a card authorizing them to go the pantry. “We hope they attend one of the services from Pastor Tommy Bates and get some insight about life and get some help,” Olzeski said. As for Bates, he hopes attending a service will “strengthen” people in need. “We want to let them meet the people who gave them these things to let them know there are people willing to help other people,” Bates said. Getting help from the pantry is not just limited to people living in Independence or even Kenton County, Bates said. “This is not just a ministry that is contained here in Independence, Ky. It reaches Over the Rhine into the Tristate,” he said. The Family Pantry expansion ribbon cutting and pancake breakfast will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday Sept. 26 at the Community Family Church, 11875 Taylor Mill Road in Independence.

Shipping and handling charges alert Ads for products on TV and in print that don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges are becoming increasingly common. Such charges should be carefully considered before ordering because sometimes they can be quite substantial. That’s what a Westwood woman has learned. Sue LaRue has been analyzing ads and found several that either don’t disclose the charge or do so in very small print. “I think they’re saying two things. I think they’re saying ‘free shipping’ or ‘plus shipping,’ but they’re not saying how much the shipping is. That’s what happened in my case,” she said. LaRue answered an ad she saw on TV. But, even after she placed the order for two of the items, she just got a printout without the prices. “I agreed to pay $39.98. The shipping and handling was $65.80, but I didn’t know that till I got the package in the mail,” LaRue said. The packing slip showed the total cost came to more than $100 – something she says should have been disclosed upfront. After LaRue complained to the company about the shipping charges, a representative agreed to give her a $15 credit. But that still means the

When people turn into sheep For sheep to be sheep is admirable. That’s their true nature. Sheep are never extolled today or in the scriptures as being clever or courageous. They seem more helpless than resourceful. They frequently wander off and get lost and are easy prey for predators. When in trouble, they usually panic and bleat for help from the shepherd. Sheep are not very smart. Yet, who can blame a sheep for being a sheep? They live what they are. What would be troubling would be to see a bird or a human try to live as a sheep. Especially a human. We’ve been created with a rational nature. We are to grow, develop insight and wisdom, possess a mind that enables us to seek and recognize truth and have the courage to live by it. Humans are supposed to need other human shepherds less and less as they mature. When immature, and still growing, we need parents, disciplinarians and teachers – guides outside ourselves. When we grow up – if we grow up – our guidance comes chiefly from within ourselves; a well-formed conscience and sense of responsibility. Guides outside of us never become completely unimportant, but much less necessary. A sad thing seems to be happening. Too many people seem to be acting as sheep. Sheeple are people

items she wanted cost her $40, and the shipping and handling cost $50 – more than the items themselves. “I just feel like they’re deceptive and if people aren’t paying attention they’re going to end up spending a lot of money they may not be able to get back,” LaRue said. So, I contacted the company LaRue had ordered from and was told they don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges in the ad because the same ad is used in Canada and charges will be quite different there. They maintain they do disclose the charges before the transaction is completed – and after the state sales taxes are added. But, LaRue said she never saw that disclosure. And, while you can cancel your order and get back your money, you can’t get back the shipping costs. Bottom line, carefully watch out for shipping and handling charges in both TV and print ads. If they are not disclosed in the ad, be sure to look for the charges before you place your order.

to speak for God. The masses of people have been pictured as a huge pyramid. Most of us are depicted toward the bottom somewhere, and the numbers become fewer as the pyramid narrows and ascends. Psychologists such as Abraham Maslow urge us to become self-actualized and move upward. That means to grow in knowledge and personal awareness of our own state and truths of reality. The journey upward is very difficult, but possible. Great spiritual teachers such as Jesus Christ told us what happens when we are transformed from sheeple to people, “ … you will know the truth and the truth will

effectively. We stop looking for truth. We graze on sound bites, slogans and little bits of information lying on the ground that taste good. When we are turning into sheeple, we lose sight of truth and priorities. We become easy prey for manipulation by politicians, advertisers, bureaucrats, and sometimes even by people we call religious leaders. Our shepherds are called spin doctors – false shepherds who have no interest in the common good, us, or the truth, only their own agenda. As sheeple we have a strong flock instinct. We need to think and act as everybody else. It’s said that the instincts and logic of a mob gradually become lower than the individuals that comprise the mob. We turn our minds over to others. Sheeple are dazzled by words and forget justice; are moved by emotions and forget logic. We believe peers, advertisers, politicians and celebrities about what is important in life. We acquiesce to anyone who claims

Free from our defenses and illusions in order to become our truest self. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Relish your fresh peppers this season
My husband Frank and I went to an A m i s h country produce auction in B a i n bridge, Ohio, near The Seven Rita Caves, at Heikenfeld the invitation of Rita s kitchen f r i e n d s Bert and Bob Villing. It was something to see. As we approached the auction shelter, we saw horse-drawn wagons with huge amounts of pumpkins, melons and produce enter the graveled area. I understood that folks could bid on the whole wagonload. Inside the shelter you could walk around and check out the produce in smaller units, like a bushel of squash, three pecks of cucumbers, even up to 100 or so pumpkins and gourds. The little Amish boys were so cute – running around barefoot with sus-

pendered overalls and hats. Bert and I bought some beautiful red and green peppers. I couldn’t wait to get home to make Bert’s red pepper relish. I also made stuffed peppers for supper, with rice, lamb, tomato sauce and seasonings.
Bert’s red pepper relish
No real recipe, but here are Bert’s guidelines slightly adapted by me. Makes 7 to 8 half pints. Measure ingredients after dicing. 6 cups of finely diced red bell peppers (or green, yellow, etc.) 1 1 ⁄2 cups finely diced onions Boiling water 1 ⁄2 cup diced jalapeños (opt.) Grind up peppers and onions in food processor, blender or just chop fine. Put in bowl and pour boiling water to cover. Let sit five minutes, then drain. Make brine.

2 cups vinegar (I used cider, but clear is OK) 1 cup sugar (more to taste) 1 1 ⁄2 teaspoons each: mustard seeds, celery seeds and dry mustard Put drained pepper mixture into brine and cook for five minutes. Pour into hot jars, clean rims and seal. Process in boiling water bath five min-

Marge Miller’s apple dumplings
Marge is known as the apple dumpling lady in Clermont County and at my church, Holy Trinity in Batavia. I love her dumplings with the wonderful cinnamon flavor. They are always the first thing to go at any of our events. This is for Nancy, who began cooking at age 11. “My mother was a wonderful cook and my best friend. She passed away last year,” she wrote. Nancy wanted to re-create her Mom’s dumpling recipe which used brown sugar and cinnamon. Nancy said her Mom’s sauce was a thin vanilla sauce using cinnamon. I’ve adapted this only slightly.
1 double pie crust 8 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored (I’ve used whatever apples I had on hand) 4 teaspoons butter Mix the following and set aside: 1 cup granulated or

Divide the prepared pie crust into eight equal pieces. Roll out each piece into the shape of a square about 6 to 8 inches. To test the size, place an apple in the center of it and see if you can bring the 4 corners up to meet at the top. Place 1 peeled and cored apple in the center of one of the squares of rolled pie crust. Fill the cavity with some of the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Dot the top of the sugar with 1⁄2 tsp. butter. Bring one corner of the pastry up over the top of the apple. Take the opposite corner and overlap it over the first one. Moisten to seal these two together. Repeat with the last two corners of the pastry. Moisten to seal the last two corners together. Place the 8 dumplings in a sprayed baking dish.
Cinnamon sauce:
Combine the following syrup ingredients and cook for three minutes. If you can’t find cinnamon hearts, use a teaspoon of cinnamon and a drop or two of red food coloring if you want. 11⁄2 cups sugar 11⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 cups water 3 tablespoons lemon juice 7-8 cinnamon decorations (little cinnamon Valentine hearts) or more to taste 1 teaspoon vanilla (Rita’s addition) Pour the syrup over the dumplings in the baking dish. If you want, baste as they bake. Bake at 375 degrees for

Panerathon on the way
Dream drive
PROVIDED
William Raleigh of Erlanger, son of Mark and Anne Raleigh, had a great time at the Boone County Fair “driving” all the tractors.
Panera Bread’s Second Annual Panerathon raises the goal for this year’s event Breads of the World, the local franchisee for Panera Bread will be hosting its second annual Panerathon on Sunday, September 20, 2009. The race will begin at the Panera Bread on Paxton Road and participants will have the option to participate in a 2-mile walk/run or a 4-mile run. All proceeds will benefit Kid’s Café, a division of The Freestore Foodbank. Breads of the World encourages competitors of all ages and abilities to participate. Participants will receive an event t-shirt and a race bag filled with gifts and goodies provided by Panera Bread. The top three finishers, both male and female, as well as to the top
three finishers in each age group will be awarded medals. Fresh bagels, pastries and sandwiches from Panera Bread will be available for racers as they cross the finish line. The event will also feature a special quarter-mile course for kids under the age of 12. This year Panera Bread is encouraging local businesses to get involved through the team component. The Group entry fee is $150 per ten-person team. Local Cincinnati-area businesses have an opportunity to show support for an important cause, while team building within their own organization. “Panera Bread strives to be a community partner putting the emphasis on the children,” said Jim Hach, Operating Partner for
Cincinnati area Panera Bread bakery-cafes. “Ending hunger is a significant long term goal for Panera Bread.” Last year’s event drew 240 participants and raised $5,450 for The Freestore Foodbank. This year’s event hopes to increase in both participation and donations to benefit Kid’s Cafe. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the race begins at 9 a.m. The children’s run is held separately at 8:30 a.m. in the Hyde Park Parking Lot.

there will be something for everyone. At Eagle Bend, admission is free of charge, and activities are varied to include the whole family. Hayrides, photo opportunties with alpacas, a coloring contest for children ages 5 and under, and spinning demonstrations are some of the features provided. The opportunity to view alpacas grazing or romping in the field will also be a draw to those who come to
spend a leisurely afternoon at the farm. Alpacas, cousins to the llama and camel, are beautiful, intelligent animals native to the Andean Mountain range of South America particularly Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The United States first commercially imported alpacas in 1984. There are now more than 150,000 registered alpacas in North America. Eagle Bend is home to 80 of these wonderful creatures, and is the largest and
only full service alpaca farm in Northern Kentucky. Other Northern Kentucky alpaca farmers will be on site to speak about their own farms and answer questions. Eagle Bend is located at 7812 East Bend Road, Burlington. The farm will be open on both Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 26 and 27, from 1 to 5 p.m. Visit www.eaglebendalpacas.com for directions to the farm.

BED AND BREAKFAST
Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week
RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has
FORT MITCHELL
its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
