School name change? By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Turkey Foot Middle School officials are considering the possibility of changing both the school’s name and mascot after parents and faculty recently vocalized concerns. Kenton County Schools Superintendent Tim Hanner said he has received e-mails from parents who feel the middle school shouldn’t be named after a road. Some parents also said Turkey Foot Middle School’s “Indians” mascot is politically incorrect. The construction of the new Turkey Foot Middle School, set for completion in 2010, seemed like “an opportunity for change” to the parents, Hanner said. The school will host a public forum Thursday Sept. 24 for the community to weigh-in on either issue. “The forum is for people to give their opinion – it won’t be a discussion. It won’t be a debate. It’s just information gathering,” said Deb Obermeyer, Turkey Foot’s vice principal. Obermeyer said the concerns were first brought before the school at a site-based council meeting. After several individuals spoke, the school formed a committee made up of parents, students, teachers and alumni to focus on the issue. The school will also post a survey on its Web site,www.tfms.kenton.k12.ky.us, Friday for parents to answer questions about changing the school’s name or mascot. Ultimately, Turkey Foot’s sitebased council will come to a decision on a school’s mascot. The final decision on the name-change must be made by the board of education. “I’ve been very impressed with the way the site-based council has really been exploring the issue,” Hanner said, adding the question of the “Indians” mascot is “something we’re going to have to take a strong look at” and “something we have to be sensitive to.” The public forum will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday Sept. 24, at the middle school, 3230 Turkeyfoot Road.

Children’s Home to welcome special visitors By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
At first glance, the Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home may not appear to have much in common with Toyota or the FFA, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America. But together, all three of them are partnering to provide a special afternoon sure to leave an impact. The DCCH will welcome in four of the national FFA officers on Sept. 28 for a special visit, courtesy of Toyota’s partnership with the FFA. The officers, all current college students, are touring the country to promote the FFA. “We originally partnered with the FFA because of their commit-
ment to community service, because that’s something that we strive for here,” said Toyota’s community relations manager, Helen Carroll. “And we’ve been involved with the Children’s Home for a while, so this seemed like a great chance to bring it all together.” The four officers will spend the afternoon at the Children’s Home, teaching the residents and staying for a picnic lunch on the grounds. The Children’s Home is a treatment center for children ages 6-14 who have emotional or behavioral problems. “I think this will be a great chance for the officers to serve as a role model for these kids, even if just for a few hours,” said Jan
Tate, an external relations associate with Toyota. “This is all about impacting the life of a kid.” Steven Breidenich, the development director at the DCCH, said the experience should also serve to help the FFA officers. “This will be a good opportunity for them to interact with kids who probably grew up a lot differently than they did,” he said. “This is going to be a neat afternoon for everyone, and we’re just glad to be a part of it.” While in the area, the officers will also take part in a breakfast at Northern Kentucky University on Sept. 29, where they will welcome in close to 120 FFA members.

Fort Mitchell signs SD1 agreement By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Despite lingering concerns from several members, the Fort Mitchell city council has authorized the city to sign an agreement with Sanitation District No. 1, turning over ownership of the city’s storm sewer systems. In 2003, the city entered into an interlocal agreement with SD1 that stated the district would eventually assume full ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the public storm sewers. While several Northern Kentucky cities have already signed off to complete the transfer, Fort Mitchell
was among those who delayed completing the agreement, due to questions over the language in the contract. However, at their Sept. 21 meeting, the council voted 5-3 to allow the city sign the agreement. “I think we need to move forward on this,” said Mayor Tom Holocher. “We’ve talked and talked and talked about this, and I think it’s time we move forward with it for the good of the city.” Councilman Chris Wiest was among the members who cast a dissenting vote, stating he still had concerns over several areas of the contract. Among the concerns was lan-
guage about liability should problems arise with the storm sewers, and whether the city could be held liable if it was deemed to be a design flaw that caused the problem, as opposed to a maintenance issue. “We tried to get a sunset clause in there, where after a certain number of years any issues could not be blamed on a design or engineering flaw, but [SD1] wouldn’t agree to that,” he said. “That’s something that worries me.” However, Holocher pointed out the city is fully liable now if a problem arose with the storm sewers. “So I’m not sure I understand why that’s a concern, or what
other options you think we might have,” he said Holocher also cited the positive relationship the city has had over the years with SD1, adding that signing the agreement would require a “leap of faith.” “There might be a problem with every single contract in the world if you look at it, but now we have to understand what is best for the city,” he said. “We’re all in this together, and it’s time we moved ahead.” The signed contract will now have to be ratified by the SD1 Board, and the agreement will be implemented 30 days after being ratified.

The First Annual Fantasy Fest will be held at noon Saturday Oct. 3 in Mainstrasse Village and will include all things fairy: a parade, vendors, music and performances as well as a live auction selling “fairy windows” created by children at the Baker-Hunt Art & Cultural Center. Sandi “Stoney” Stonbraker dreamed up the Fantasy Fest to bring something new to Mainstrasse. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Baker-Hunt Art & Cultural Center. dent-created “fairy windows” with magical scenes inside that will be auctioned off at the Razzamatazz Gala that will take place at 7 p.m. at the Leapin Lizard Gallery
at Eighth and Main the evening of the festival. “When people see these fairy windows they’re just going to be amazed they were done by children,”
Stonebraker said. “They’re real pieces of art.” Stonebraker encourages festival goers to come in costume, but if you’re short on fairy wear, you can always get your face painted and find magical clothing at the festival starting at noon. At 5:30 p.m. the Fantasy Parade begins, complete with a horse-drawn carriage, unicyclers, clowns and stilt walkers. Both children and adults, with or without costume, are welcome to participate, Stonebraker said. “We want lots of children and families,” she said. “This is a totally inclusive event.” Admission to the festival is free.

Stonebraker said she wanted to bring something “new and fun” to the village and benefit a good cause at the same time. “Because the schools have cut back on art classes this year we feel it’s important that kids here have art as a part of their lives.

has seen a dramatic increase in circulation, Schroeder said. In August, all three branches broke circulation records and 650 people applied for a library card. “We’re really hitting our demographic well and providing good services and some of it is the economy,� Schroeder explained. “People don’t have the money to spend like they did last year or the year before and so they’re rediscovering the library, which is great.� The Kenton County Public Library system has three locations in Covington, Erlanger and Independence. In the last fiscal year, more than one million visitors checked out 2.1 million items. For more information, visit www.kenton.lib.ky.us.
United Way sets N. Ky. goal
Kenton County Public Library’s board of trustees “unsung heroes� behind the library’s success. “They give so much of their time to working with the staff and making sure we have wonderful buildings and great collections. “They take very seriously the fact we’re using tax payer’s dollars. They want to make sure those dollars are being spent in the best way possible,� he said. But Schroeder is also thankful for the community’s support of the library, which has been a county system since the late 1800s. “That’s also the key to the ranking – it’s the amount of support everyday Kenton Countians give us,� Schroeder said. “They’re very proud of their library.� Since January, the library
Mark Reitzes, president of Huntington National Bank and chair of the United Way of Greater Cincinnati - Northern Kentucky Area 2009 campaign, has announced a goal of $3,965,095. “United Way is working to create real change in Northern Kentucky by making sure children are ready to learn when they reach kindergarten and that families have the tools they need to achieve financial stability,� said Reitzes. “Our entire community wins when a child a child succeeds in school. The next weeks will be challenging, but each of us must rally behind this
effort and support essential services that help make Northern Kentucky a better place to work and live.� The regionwide United Way campaign, chaired by A.G. Lafley, chairman, The Procter & Gamble Co., kicked off Aug. 26 during the organization’s first-ever Virtual Kickoff. Lafley has also issued a goal of adding 10,000 new donors to the campaign. The Northern Kentucky region is striving to cultivate between 600 and 1,000 of those new donors. Based on 2007 population estimates, less than 10 percent of Northern Kentucky residents currently contribute to the annual United Way campaign. “Our goal is equal to last
year,� Reitzes said. “And really, we can’t accept any less if we want to accomplish what the community needs in Northern Kentucky. United Way supports so many critical services, and I’m calling on everyone in our region to evaluate what kind of commitment they can make to help those with needs greater than our own.� If you would like to make a personal donation to United Way but aren’t part of a workplace campaign, please visit www.wecanliveunited.org. If your company is interested in running an internal campaign, please call the United Way Northern Kentucky Area Center at 5252600.

Sparks fly at Caywood By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Ryan Vehr grinned beneath his safety goggles and hard hat as he gingerly placed the stuffed squirrel on the power lines, guiding him along with a long metal rod. As students from Caywood Elementary and Patton Area Technical School watched intently, the squirrel made its way along the power lines, The stuffed squirrel pausing briefly before made its way along the reaching a transpower lines, inched former. Vehr slowly inched the squirrel forforward, slowly … ward, slowly … slowly slowly … slowly … … slowly … BOOM! As the students BOOM! shrieked and covered their ears, the nowsinged squirrel flew into the air, coming down with slightly less fur than it had a few seconds earlier. “That’s what can happen when you’re around power lines,” exclaimed Vehr’s co-worker Gary Lynn. “That’s why we come out here and do this to make sure everyone understands the importance of being safe around electricity.” Vehr and Lynn, both environmental health and safety specialists with Duke Energy, were on hand at Caywood on Sept. 15 to conduct a safety demonstration. Using a model of several power lines with transformers, the pair talked to the students about how electricity is conducted and proper safety gear when working with electricity, as well as demonstrating the power of electrical shocks, using props like the squirrel, a hot dog and a branch full of leaves. “I thought it was really funny when he made the hot dog catch on fire,” said Caywood first-grader Dexton Berger. “It was really cool.”
Berger’s classmate, Angel Stegman, said she learned how to be more careful around electricity as a result of the demonstration. “That made the squirrel jump way high in the air,” she said. “I learned that you have to be really careful or you could get hurt or burned like that squirrel did.” Lynn said they routinely conduct the demonstration at schools all over the Greater Cincinnati region. “If we can help save even one person by teaching them about proper safety, we’ve done a good thing,” he said. “That’s what makes it all worth it.”

Jazz Band, and Duke Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) for Academically Talented Students. The purpose of JrNYLC Alumni Boston is to honor and inspire a select group of exceptional middle school students, distinguished by their academic excellence, leadership potential and maturity, and active participation in JrNYLC using Boston, Massachusetts as a dynamic classroom. JrNYLC alumni will continue their journey of leadership while diving further into our nations' rich history. Scholars will be challenged to build upon their prior experience in Washington, D.C., furthering their understanding of key concepts of leadership including courage, character and perseverance. During the six-day program, schol-
ars took part in educational activities, delved deeper into fundamental aspects of leadership and connect them to historic events. Preisser also visited historical sites, such as Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower II, the town of Salem, Boston’s Freedom Trail, as well as Lexington and Concord. Scholars examined the impact of leadership during the critical periods of colonization and revolution in American history. From the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth to the battles at Lexington and Concord, scholars explored the key events that ultimately led to revolution and learned the different historic figures and events, allowing them to appreciate the story of leadership during America’s earliest times.

Turnovers, execution plague Colonels By Adam Turer
was held to 69 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries as the Pioneers suffered their first loss of the season. The Pioneers offense, which has been overpowering opponents all season, was held to just 255 total yards. Simpson returned a kickoff 85 yards for a score. Quarterback Chad Lawrence rushed for one score and passed for another. The Pioneers turned the ball over four times.

The football programs at Ryle High School and Dixie Heights High School both begin district play this week, but with different levels of momentum. The Colonels have lost three straight after opening the season with two wins. They have given up an average of over 42 points per game in the three losses. Despite having a potent offense, Dixie Heights has spent most of the past few weeks playing catch-up after falling behind early. That was the case again on Sept. 18, when the Colonels fell behind the Raiders 21-0 before mounting an unsuccessful comeback attempt. The Raiders held on for a 42-28 win. “We need to get out of the gate faster,” said Dixie Heights head coach Tom Spritzky. “Playing catch-up all the time makes it difficult.” In a game that was expected to be a shootout, both defenses looked impressive in the first half. Ryle led 14-0 at the break. The offenses came to life in the second half as Dixie Heights tried to claw its way back into the game. The Colonels put up 21 points in the fourth quarter, but Ryle had an answer for every big Dixie Heights play. “We gave up some big plays over the top in the fourth quarter,” Spritzky said. “Those were backbreakers.” A 58-yard touchdown pass from Conner Hempel to Trenton Fugate was the final backbreaker that put Ryle back on top 42-21 after Corey Klei scored on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Wilson to bring the Colonels within two

Ryle’s Conner Hempel (No. 4) is pulled down by Josh Settle of Dixie Heights for a loss on the play. scores. Wilson connected with Josh Raleigh for the game’s final touchdown, but it was too little, too late for the Colonels. Wilson finished with three touchdown passes on the night. Klei also rushed for a touchdown. Sophomore running back Travis Elliott led the way for the Raiders, rushing 28 times for 146 yards and four touchdowns. Elliott has averaged 158 yards rushing per game for the 3-1 Raiders. Junior Zach Senvisky had two clutch interceptions to lead the Raiders defense. His first pick set up Elliott’s first touchdown of the game and his second stopped a Dixie Heights drive deep in Ryle territory. Turnovers and lack of execution in the red zone plagued the Colonels. They turned the ball over three times, while Ryle had zero turnovers. The Colonels will need better execution on offense and the defense will need to return to its early-season form as Dixie Heights begins district play.

Dixie Heights senior wide receiver Josh Stegner makes runs upfield for a big gain after making the catch. The Colonels have played what Spritzky said was the toughest non-district schedule in his 15 seasons as head coach. All five games so far have been against opponents ranked in the top 12 in the Enquirer Coaches’ Poll. The three losses have been to three of northern Kentucky’s top four teams, according to the poll. Dixie Heights is currently ranked sixth. The Colonels have the talent to compete for a top two seed in their district, ensuring a home playoff game. They will need to bounce back from three straight losses as they travel to Scott on Sept. 25 for the first district game of 2009. “We are trying to keep the kids confident,” Spritzky said. “We play a tough sec-
ond half schedule, too, but we should be prepared. Our two scrimmages and the first five games were all tune-ups for this.”
Covington Catholic 43, Beechwood 14
The Colonels (2-3) scored on four of their first five possessions on their way to an impressive victory of the Tigers (1-3). CovCath quarterback Brayden Erpenbeck completed 17 of 20 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown and rushed 11 times for 102 yards and three scores. The Colonels gained 517 yards of offense while holding Beechwood to 253 total yards.

Zach’s extra point kicks made a big difference. He was 4-4 on PATs (points after touchdowns), while the Thorobreds attempted and failed twopoint conversions after each of their scores.

The Indians (2-2) travel north to take on Columbus (Ohio) Bishop Ready 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Against Conner, senior quarterback Nick West hurt the Indians defense, throwing for 229 yards and a touchdown, and rushing for 92 yards and a score. For HC, Markel Walker threw for 128 yards and had 31 rushing yards and a score. Jerry Arlinghaus threw a TD pass to Eric Walker late in the game, as HC had 274 yards offense but allowed 418 to Conner. On defense, Paul Rafizadeh had eight tackles to lead HC. Ryan Ellinghausen had an interception.
Colonels, Eagles respond to challenges By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com
The boys soccer programs at Covington Catholic and Scott high schools are playing with confidence heading into the final weeks of the regular season. Each program has been tested early in the season and responded to the challenges. Both are poised to take the top seed in their respective districts and both aim to advance to the state tournament when postseason play begins next month. CovCath and Scott faced each other Sept. 17 in one of northern Kentucky’s biggest prep soccer matches of the season. Entering the contest, Scott was ranked No. 2 in the Enquirer Coaches’ Poll, while Cov Cath was ranked No. 3. The teams played to a scoreless tie in the first half. The Colonels rallied early in the second half, scoring two goals in the first seven minutes. Sophomore Evan Talkers scored both goals on assists from Trey Evans. The Colonels went on to defeat the Eagles 4-0. “Scott did a great job
pressuring the ball and we were holding it just a second too long in the first half,” said CovCath head coach Al Herstenberg. “We tried to open up the field a little bit in the second half and spread their defense.” With the win, CovCath improved to 6-5 on the season. The record is not indicative of the progress the Colonels have made this season. Playing a brutal nonconference schedule which includes three of the top 10 teams in Cincinnati’s Division I. The Colonels lost five straight games before reeling off four in a row. They have yet to lose to a northern Kentucky team. “Our goal is to play quality opponents early in the season to figure out who we are,” Herstenberg said. “We lost five in a row, but we got better each time we played a tough opponent.” Talkers leads the team with nine goals. Forward Michael Huffmyer leads the Colonels with 11 assists. Backed by the defense of Garrett Justice, Matt McDonald, Jacob Toebben, and Logan Siemer, the Colonels aim to shut out the
rest of their opponents this season. They have allowed a total of two goals in their six victories. Goalie Brett Futscher has posted three shutouts. “Our defense has really come together,” said Herstenberg. “If our defense plays well, I’m confident we will score goals. Our defense will get us to state.” For the Eagles, the Cov Cath loss was a disappointment, especially after the two teams played to a draw in the first half. Fortunately for Scott, they did not have time to mourn the loss. The Eagles hosted rival Simon Kenton two days later and posted a 5-0 win. “It was a big show of character for our kids to come back the way we did,” said head coach Casey Seibert. “We wanted to play again as soon as possible (after the CovCath loss) and we had to forget about that one quickly.” Junior Alec Robbins leads the team with 12 goals and eight assists. Seibert is confident that Robbins will earn All-State honors at the end of the season. Junior Dexter Morgan has chipped in five goals for

Scott won its first six games to open the season after winning just seven games all last season. “I’m extremely happy with where we’re at now,” said Seibert, in his first year leading the Eagles. “The kids are working hard and are starting to jell.” The schedule over the final weeks of the regular season will be a big test for the Eagles. They travel to Ryle on Sept. 26, where
Seibert was a varsity assistant for five years before taking the head job at Scott. They then travel to Villa Madonna on Sept. 29 with the top seed in the district on the line. The Eagles close the season at top-ranked Highlands. “We have some big tests coming up,” Seibert said. “Those will be good measuring sticks for us heading into the tournament.” It is possible that the Eagles can double their win total from last season. The turnaround would be a testament not just to Seibert and his staff, but to the players who have committed to turning the program around. Senior captains Cameron Batson and Chad Allender are two of the five seniors who “are doing whatever they can to help the team,” Seibert said. Showing resolve after the CovCath loss was a big step for the Eagles. Seibert is hopeful that his team recognizes what they are capable of accomplishing this season. “We need to stay focused and continue to stay mentally tough,” he said. “The boys are seeing that their hard work pays off.”

Villa finds rhythm
The Villa Madonna High School Blue Lightning found some rhythm in a second consecutive victory Sept. 17 at Covington Latin. Playing well all over the field, VMA cruised to a 6 - 0 win.

Andrew McLean set the scoring pace with three goals and an assist. McLean now has 10 goals and two assists and ranks among the region's scoring leaders. Against Latin, McLean had a large supporting cast; also scoring goals were Kenny Kurzendoerfer, Chris Cauhorn, and Marius VanMelle with one goal each.

RECORDER
The important role of history in our society Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Erpenbeck Elementary School in Florence. Erpenbeck Elementary is less than a mile from my house in the Plantation Point subdivision. I visited the school as part of the America’s Legislators Back to School Program, which gives legislators the opportunity to meet personally with young constituents and answer their questions about public service. I spoke to the fifth-grade class about Kentucky history and the role of the Kentucky Legislature. We hear so much today about history not being properly taught in our schools, and I was happy to find that this was certainly not the case at Erpenbeck Elementary. The fifth grade was well informed and able to answer ques-
tions about Kentucky and American history. We talked about important concepts, such as the United States being a representative State Sen. republic and the John three co-equal Schickel branches of govCommunity ernment. After the Recorder p r e s e n t a t i o n , guest Principal Becky columnist Brown gave me a personal tour of the school, and I was very impressed. American history has always been important to me. I believe, as our Founders did, that it is impor-
tant to teach history to our children. Thomas Jefferson wrote that schooling in America should be “chiefly historical.” He said, “The people are the ultimate guardians of their own liberty. History, by apprising them of the past, will enable them to judge the future. It will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men.” A century later, Woodrow Wilson agreed that history endows us with the “invaluable mental power which we call judgment.” Our Founding Fathers believed that a representative republic has a special need for education in history because this kind of democracy is government by the people. The people must acquire “demo-
cratic virtues” and learn through examples from history respect for the rights of individuals, regard for the law, voluntary participation in public life, and a concern for the common good. I’m happy to report that after a visit with fourth-grade teacher Kelly Roth, I feel confident that this is happening at the elementary school level at Erpenbeck Elementary. She shared with me the fourthgrade history curriculum, which includes U.S. history with a strong emphasis on Kentucky history. The textbook used is called “The Kentucky Adventure” by Tracy Campbell, a University of Kentucky professor of history. Ms. Roth lent me a copy of the textbook, and I have been very impressed with its content, cover-
ing subjects from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War in an interesting and adventurous way that would hold an elementary school student’s interest and, I must admit, my own. I have been reading it nightly. Students are tested on the material in the fifth grade before they leave the elementary school for middle school. I left Erpenbeck Elementary feeling good about the future of our community, knowing that our Founding Fathers’ wish of teaching history to our children is a reality in our own community. Sen. John Schickel, R-Union, represents the 11th Senate District which includes Boone and Gallatin counties and part of Kenton County. He welcomes your concerns or comments toll-free at 800-372-7181.

Parents looking for another way to get their teenagers out of bed, on their way to school, and to apply themselves in school have some additional help now, thanks to a law amended by the Kentucky General Assembly earlier this year. The No Pass/No Drive Law, which was amended several years ago, states that all students must continually “earn” their driving privileges by staying in school and passing their classes. Most teenagers have a strong desire for the independence that comes with being able to drive. Now they can show that they are responsible enough to drive by fulfilling their responsibilities to attend and do acceptably well in school. This is quite a motivator for kids to stay in and do well in school. The law addresses both attendance and academics. Specifically, the law states that students ages 16 and 17 can lose their driver’s licenses, intermediate licenses, or learner’s permits if they have nine or more unexcused absences from school, or if they drop out altogether. Students also must pass at
least four classes each semester to meet the requirements of the law. If a student does not meet the law’s requirements, James A. then the superDaley intendent must report the stuCommunity dent to the Recorder Transportation guest Cabinet within (10) days of columnist ten receiving notification of a student’s failure to meet requirements. From there, the student has an opportunity to prove he or she deserves a license, despite allegedly not meeting the law’s guidelines. It would, however, require some work and some extenuating circumstances. To get a student’s license reinstated, the student’s parent or guardian must request a hearing in District Court. The license will be reinstated if the court finds any of the following: a) The license is needed to
meet family obligations or family economic considerations, thus causing an undue hardship; or b) The student is the only licensed driver in the home; or c) The student actually is not a dropout or academically deficient. The court’s decision can be appealed within thirty (30) days to Circuit Court. A student whose license has been revoked can reapply for his or her driver’s license after enrolling and completing one semester of school successfully, according to the law’s requirements. To regain a driver’s license, the student must pass at least four courses. The student must provide proof issued by the school within 60 days that he or she is enrolled and is not academically deficient. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

CHATROOM Last week’s question
Has there been a decline of civility at town hall and public meetings in general? Why do you think there has been a decline? “While I think that there is a decline in civility in this society in general and some of that has rubbed off on any public meetings, I believe that what we are seeing is not so much a decline in civility but a rise in passion. We are sounding more like the patriots did before the revolution. What the public officials are hearing is mainstream Americans extreme frustration with the overspending of both parties and the eroding of our freedoms. It is (and should be) scaring those officials who were used to the sleepy populace letting them get away with whatever they wanted. No more.” J.K.T. “There has been a quick and steady decline in acceptable behavior at town hall and public meetings almost to the point of being sadly entertaining. Frustration and uncertainty quickly spreads when subject matter and supporting information is
convoluted or unavailable. The American public is very good at differentiating between fact and B.S. and will have their homework researched and ready. Heaven forbid the person(s) directing the meeting is not in tune with the topics at hand and unable to give a straight answer to questions asked.” N.C.O. “Stress is running rampant. Finances are very troublesome for many people. Many people are apprehensive about their future and even getting through this week. To be civil, society needs security, optimism and hope. Currently these items are absent from many households.” G.G. “Having a serious debate about health care is democratic, bringing a loaded semi-automatic gun is irresponsible and speaks of violence. As a Christian and person with conservative values I’m embarrassed that so few people speak out against the lack of civility displayed by some cable and radio talk show hosts, politicians and citizens. In an era of total exposure, Twitter indulged selfimportance and shallow Internet

Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. relationships, we forget about the cornerstones of society including civility, respecting your neighbor and recognizing authority.” K. “Unfortunately, yes, there has been a decline in civility at town halls and other public meetings. It is undoubtedly politically motivated. It’s sad to think that this is what they are teaching our children; as how to accomplish anything for the common good. The behavior is not only childish, It has been rude and prone toward violence. Most people want to hear the facts and debate the issues, not just listen to someone screaming obscenities and name calling. I hope this is not the new America. They have turned off a lot of people by this behavior. Where are the statesmen?” A.T.

Local residents in amazement yesterday as Collectors provide a stimulus package to Florence. They are paying out right on the spot for my stuff. Unbelievable!! By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER
Spokesperson for the event said he expects to spend in excess of $200,000.00 this week for vintage items and precious metals from local residents. Here are some examples of what is going on in the event that started yesterday in the Homewood Suites. One person sold an old Gibson guitar that was purchased in the 1960’s for less than $250.00 to a collector at the event for $2175.00 Another person had a pocket watch collection that sold for $4600.00., with one of
the watches in this collection bringing $375.00 of the $4600.00 talley. A husband and wife brought in a box of old Jewelry, wristwatches, coins, and two German daggers from WW2 and left $785.00 richer. This is cool that something like this would come here to our town. Where else would this stuff ever be sold? The refinery has teamed up with the collectors for a 24 month tour of the United States, both big and small towns to dig up hidden gems.
If you go:

Silver and Gold Coin Prices Up During Poor Economy. Collectors and Enthusiasts in Florence with $200,000 to Purchase Yours! By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER
Got Coin? It might be just the time to cash in. This week starting Tuesday and continuing through Saturday the International Collectors Association in conjunction with the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. The better the grade the more they are worth according to collectors I talked to. With the silver and gold markets high prices of older coins are too. Any coins minted before 1965 in the U.S. are 90% silver except nickels and pennies. The coins worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now even well worn heavy circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy halves, Washing ton quarters, Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times the face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. This country didn’t start minting coins until 1792 says Eades. Before that people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform
system of making change. The government opened the first mints and began distributing the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th century coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933 Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. Not all gold coins were turned in. Many folks during that time didn’t completely trust the government and choose to keep their gold. These gold coins are sought after collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchase including foreign coins, Indian head cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few. Collectors warn people against trying to clean their coins as significant damage can be done and the coins value lessened.
“I’m glad I came in! I really need the money.” CLAUDIA MCDONALD says, who received $825 for a gold coin minted
Dozens cash in yesterday with jewelry, railroad watches and guitars. An estimated $200,000 in Florence! By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER
The first day of the 5 day reclamation drive in Florence was a hit with those looking to sell their gold and silver. Representatives were on hand Tuesday purchasing all types of unwanted and broken jewelry. An estimated 55 people left the event with over $200 dollars from old class rings, wedding bands, herringbones, and gold teeth. Coins dated before 1965 were bringing big premiums as well. Silver dollars, halves and quarters arrived in large quantities. Lots of gold coins were also brought in. Rebecca Hughes walked away with over $1200.00 after selling an original $20 gold piece from 1888. On the other side of the room were
Items of Interest: Vintage Guitars; Martin, Gibson, Fender, National, Rickenbacker, Gretsch, Mandolins, Banjos and others Pocket Watches; Hamilton, Illinois, Waltham, Patek Phillipe, Ball, Howard, South Bend, Elgin and others Wrist watches: Omega, Accutron, Longines, Hamilton, Breitling and many more Old paper money: United States, Confederate States, Blanket Bills, $1000.00 bills and more Antique Toys: Trains, Tin windups, Mechanical Banks, Robots, Pressed Steel trucks, and many more War Memoribilia: Swords, Bayonets, Helmets, German, Confederate, Union, USA, and others Local records reveal to our research department that recent vintage guitar sold for $2400.00 and another for $12,000.00 to a collector that will be tied into the event this week via live database feed.

representatives from the Antique Association. They were purchasing all types of guitars, large currency bills dated before 1923, military items and pocket watches. One watch was purchased by a collector in Montana for $835 dollars. There were piles of sterling silver items like old silverware sets and tea pots. One gentleman rolled a cart in with 3 boxes full of silver coins. Company officials reported spending over $80,000 the first day of the event, alone. Brian Eades with Ohio Valley said “we have had an overwhelming turnout this first day and we expect to get busier every day this week”. The event continues today and runs through Saturday. The event is free and the public is welcome.
Local Residents are ready to cash in! International antique buyers in town this week and ready to stimulate economy!

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER Loula Mae Acra, who turned 100 on Sept. 22, has seen at least one Reds game every year since 1932. Here, she shows off some her memorabilia, including a season-ticket package from 2008, a 1990 game program, and a commemorative platter from the 1976 World Series.
PROVIDED
Best friends Parker Losure, 5, and Lydia Haubner, 5, both of Alexandria, share a sweet scented moment together earlier in the day before their crowning as Little Mr. and Miss of the Alexandria Fair & Horse Show. The friends have told their parents that they plan to marry each other eventually.
A ‘little’ love story
The “little” young love between inseperable best friends Parker Losure and Lydia Haubner, both 5, of Alexandria, is the reason their teacher seats them across the room from each other at St. Mary School. The kindergartners met a year ago when their families were vacationing together in Gulf Shores, Ala., said Paula Losure, mother of Parker. They connected from the start, both having similar charismatic personalities, Paula said. “They claimed that they planned to get married,” she said. It’s funny and humorous that they talk about getting married all the time, Paula said. “I think everybody in the school knows about it,” she said. “They’re not ashamed of it, that’s for sure.” Their relationship has
brought a lot of smiles to their families because they talk about each other a lot, Paula said. Paula and her husband Nathan, and Lydia’s parents Mandy and Rob Haubner, decided to enter the children in the Alexandria Fair Little Mr. and Miss Pageant this year, which they won. On the night of their win, Parker said “You know Lydia...we are going to get married someday,” Paula said. To which Lydia replied “I know, Parker.” Lydia’s father Rob, said she is always talking about her “boyfriend” Parker. “They’re 5 years old, so it doesn’t bother me,” he said of their friendship. Lydia said she does talk about eventually getting married, saying Parker is “really nice.” “He’s my friend,” Lydia said of Parker. -Chris Mayhew/Staff

Take me out to the ball game Woman, 100, has been Reds fan entire life
By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
It’s only fitting that Loula Mae Acra would celebrate her 100th birthday at the ballpark. After all, it’s practically her second home. Acra, a Lakeside Park resident who turned 100 years old on Sept. 22, celebrated in style with a visit to Great American Ballpark on Sept. 19. Acre, a lifelong Reds fan, estimates she has seen at least one game every year since 1932, and was a season ticket holder until she was 97 years old. “Oh, it’s definitely all right with me,” she said when asked about spending her birthday watching the Reds play. “I’ve always loved the Reds, and I’ll be glad to see them play this year.” Born in London, Kentucky, Acra first attended a Reds game when visiting her sister in the area. She would later meet her husband here and settle down, all the while enjoying as many visits to the ballpark as possible. Over the years, she has seen the Reds play in three different ballparks; Crosley Field, Riverfront Stadium (later briefly known as Cinergy Field), and now Great American Ball Park.
She recalled especially enjoying Wednesday trips to the park, where Ladies Day tickets cost only a dime. “We would have a great old time those days,” she recalled with a laugh. And though the Reds have fallen on hard times in recent years, Acra has plenty of fond memories, having attended a number of playoff games and World Series games, including the Big Red Machine years in the mid1970s. She still has many of her game programs from those games, which she stores amongst her Reds memorabilia at her house. She also recalled how much she used to enjoy picking up her season tickets each year at the Reds front office in person - rather than having them mailed - so she could handdeliver some of her decorated Easter eggs to the front office staff and even former owner Marge Schott. “[Schott] used to have them all over her desk when I went in there each year, so I guess she really liked them,” said Acra. “It was just something I enjoyed doing.” Acra’s daughter, Nancy Creaghead, said she recalls many trips to Reds game as a child with her parents.
“She taught me all kinds of things at the game, like how to keep score and who the players were - things like that,” said Creaghead. “She just loved going to the games - she would have a smile on her face the whole time we were there.” And although she has literally seen hundreds upon hundreds of players pass through the Reds in her time, Acra doesn’t hesitate for a second when asked to name her favorite alltime player. “Oh- I loved Pete Rose the best,” she said with a fond smile. “I liked Johnny Bench too, but Pete was always my favorite.” Michael Anderson, the public relations director for the Reds, said the Reds staff was excited to recognize Acra at the game. Acra also was recognized at the stadium on her 90th birthday when her name was flashed across the scoreboard. “I just think it’s pretty neat that she’s been a huge fan all of these years,” he said. For her part, Acra couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate her birthday. “The games have always been fun for me,” she said. “I just love cheering for the Reds.”

Dr. Chris Zimmerman and the five staff members want their patients to be comfortable, Kordenbrock said. “Patients are very fearful of being reprimanded; people don’t want that,” she said.

Why love treats us the way it does When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didn’t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love!
Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each other’s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though we didn’t realize all its intentions. One day we were amazed when love took off its clothes, stretched out on our bed while eating an apple, and announced it was here to stay. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious thing called love was not so elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In “The Mystery of Marriage,”
author Mike Mason notes, “The situation with love, now that one is married, becomes comparable to the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - “What happens if he catches it?” Marriage faces spouses with the same question, “What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?” In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out
from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, “You haven’t learned about me yet!” It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us
to forgive over and over again; Father Lou to be patient Guntzelman with each other and ourselves; to Perspectives communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love will take off its earthly mask and become further demystified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, “God is love,” and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@communitypress.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.
‘El Nino’ returns, bringing likelihood of warmer, dry winter The cycle of warm seas, cool seas off the South American western coast has shifted again, bringing back warmer Pacific Ocean surface temperatures that ultimately determine Kentucky’s weather, the chief agricultural weatherman at the University of Kentucky says. “El Nino has returned, and the latest models say that’s going to impact us later in the fall and certainly as we move into winter,” said Tom Priddy, Extension meteorologist at the UK College of Agriculture. “We should have at least moderate conditions, and
this could mean warmer than usual winter temperatures,” Priddy said. Kentuckians and residents of other states along the Ohio River Valley may start to notice the impact of El Nino late this fall, he said. Meteorologists noticed the emergence of a weak El Nino throughout August, but that should begin to strengthen. “Our models call for a slow buildup in warm Pacific sea surface temperatures over the next weeks. Once that gets fueled up, it can shift the jet stream, and that will tend to give us more warm tempera-
48
tures,” Priddy said. That doesn’t mean Kentuckians won’t have to endure snow or frigid temperatures. It just means the state shouldn’t suffer through long periods of snowfall and cold. Priddy said the El Nino hints that Kentucky farmers will enjoy dry conditions at the right time – harvest season. He also said Kentuckians just enjoyed a record summer. “Kentucky had its second-coldest July in 115 years. We’ve also had above-normal precipitation over the last six months,” Priddy said.

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, we’re all into the “ w a s h y o u r h a n d s o f t e n ” mode. I thought it would be good to Rita share my Heikenfeld recipe for Rita s kitchen hm oamde efoaming soap. It’s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, you’ll save money and be doing your part to be “green.” Let the kids help – they’ll have fun, and be more apt to wash their little hands if they’ve made their own soap.
Rita’s homemade foaming soap
The bonus? More suds with less soap!
Foaming hand soap:
The trick is in the dis-
puff recipe (I have one on the Web version of this column). Here’s a couple different fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy.
penser. You have to use one made for foaming hand soap. I get mine from the dollar store, and after they’re empty I make my own as follows: Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar. Rinse again and let drain. The vinegar helps kill any bacteria that may be in the container. COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
Make your soap:
11⁄3 cups good quality water to 6 tablespoons or so of favorite liquid hand soap. Anti-bacterial or not – you choose. I use a clear liquid soap and let the kids color it slightly with food coloring and add a few drops essential oil (available from health food stores) to it. Both the coloring and oil are optional. Use a whisk to mix gently. Let sit a few minutes to settle, then pour into your container. Violà! Your own foaming hand soap.
Foaming dishwashing soap:
And while you’re at it, go ahead and make a batch of foaming dishwashing
Foaming soap made with my neighbor Sandy Shelton and her granddaughter, Jalese. detergent. Again, use a dispenser specifically made for this. Follow instructions above for cleaning, etc. The proportions are a bit different: 11⁄3 cups good quality water to 6 to 8 tablespoons dishwashing liquid (start with 6, check to see how it’s working, and add more if needed), plus 2 tablespoons clear vinegar (optional) to cut the grease.
Cream puff fillings
I’ve had several requests for cream puffs/fillings for Oktoberfest parties, similar to what Servatii’s serves. Use your favorite cream
Fluffy cream puff filling:
This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1
⁄2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar Then beat in 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
Jane and Carolyn’s cream puff filling:
Jane Cervantes is known as the cake and truffle lady and Carolyn Grieme is a Northern Kentucky reader, known as the gingerbread house queen, and good friend. They both use this for their cream puffs.
11⁄2 cups cold milk 1 (3/4 ounce) package French vanilla pudding mix 1 cup whipped topping Confectioners’ sugar
In a mixing bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for two minutes. Refrigerate for five minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Fill cream puffs just before serving; replace tops. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
Tips from readers
From Mark A. regarding “parve” products. Mark says: “The definition of “parve” (or “pareve”) in your column was only half right. “Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. “No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but that’s beside the point).”
Cake tips from Martha
I’m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last night’s class: • Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. You’ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. • To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Don’t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
