If budget trends continue, Park Hills Police Chief Rick Smith is fearful services will suffer. “We can’t go any farther,” he said. “It’s time to look for different avenues.” Smith was the first of four city department heads asked to present information on projected expenses as well as staffing and equipment needs in the upcoming 2010-2011 fiscal year. Park Hills Mayor Michael Hellmann made the request to department heads as a way to avoid lengthy discussion when it’s time to talk budget next spring. “I want to make sure council is aware where we are before we get to the budget,” he said. From there Hellmann hopes council will determine which services they deem necessary and then “figure out how to pay for that level of service.” In his report, Smith said aging cruisers and radios and limited funds to provide extra training and proper compensation to officers could take its toll. “I see us losing our good people. I see us losing out on training, I see a very definite decline in equipment,” he said. Five and a half officers staff the department currently, but at about 500 calls a month eight officers should be on duty, Smith said. “I don’t see any favorable cuts at this time. Last year Mike (Hellmann) asked us to cut things back as far as we could. I’m down to bare bones,” Smith said. Hellmann said the economy and rising costs of healthcare, pension, and fuel as well as the council deciding not to raise taxes this year have contributed to tight funding. “Council did not want a tax increase - we are actually trying to work with the same amount of money we had last year. Nobody got raises. Nobody got new cars. It was bare bones to get through,” Hellmann said. In November Fire Chief Regis Huth will present his budget request to council, with reports from the city clerk’s office and the public works to follow.

Departments look at options By Jason Brubaker and Regan Coomer jbrubaker@nky.com, rcoomer@nky.com
The fire departments in Fort Mitchell, Fort Wright and Edgewood are looking at better ways to share resources and make services more efficient. “This is just something we talked about in hopes of providing the best service to our residents for the best cost,” said Fort Mitchell city Administrator Steve Hensley. “We’re just seeing if anything can be done at some point to make things run even smoother.” Hensley brought the issue up at the Oct. 19 Fort Mitchell council meeting, wanting to dispel any
rumors that may have made their way around following the meeting between the three cities. He said Fire Chief Scott McVey also addressed the fire department about the details of the meeting. “We didn’t want to have unfounded rumors out there, so we figured it was best to just bring it up and keep everyone aware of what’s going on,” said Hensley. “Like I said, these were very preliminary discussions and there is no plan in place for anything at this point.” Fort Wright Fire Chief Steve Schewe was quick to point out that the discussions were not about merging or consolidating departments, but rather just look-
ing at ways to share resources. "We just started looking a little bit at operations and overview where our runs are, the times, staffing and how can we help each other,” he said. Fort Wright city administrator Gary Huff said the fire chiefs from each city will continue to meet to discuss “practical” goals. There is no timetable for any decisions to be made, he said. “It's not a merger in any way, shape or form - it's just more a cooperative effort between our fire departments to help save the citizen's money,” he said. “I think it’s incumbent on the three administrators to try to save money any way we can and provide better services.”
X-mas ornament sales to benefit troops By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Nancy Taylor is getting in the Christmas spirit a little early this year. Taylor, a Fort Mitchell resident and retired Beechwood teacher, has again crafted 100 hand-made Christmas ornaments for the upcoming holiday season. Continuing with her theme of using Fort Mitchell landmarks as inspiration, this year’s ornaments feature a painting of Blessed Sacrament Church. Past ornaments have included Beechwood School, The Greyhound Tavern and the Fort
Mitchell City Building. “It’s just something I enjoy doing,” said Taylor. “It can be a little time-consuming, especially with all of the details, but it’s fun at the same time.” But this year’s ornaments come with a special twist. Taylor has said that all of the proceeds will go toward the city’s Adopt-A-Unit. In 2004, the city adopted the Bravo Unit 2-504, a Parachute Infantry Regiment out of Fort Bragg. Taylor, who was teaching at Beechwood at the time, said she had regular correspondence with some of the soldiers in the unit, and soon became heavily involved in trying to raise money
and gather supplies to send to them. “After a while, I felt like those were my own boys over there, almost like they were sons,” she said. “So I wanted to do everything I could to support them and make them feel appreciated.” Taylor said she makes the ornaments in assembly-line fashion, sanding the wood, sealing it, laying down a base coat of paint and then painting the landmark last. As in past years, she has already created 100 ornaments, but said she is open to the idea of making a few more if the demand warrants it. “The money is going to a great
cause, so I’m certainly open to doing a few more if I have time,” she said. “Supporting the troops is something that is really close to my heart, so I’m glad to be able to do this to help out.” Mayor Tom Holocher touted the ornaments at a recent city council meeting. “She always does a great job with these, and they really look nice,” he said. The ornaments are $15 each, and are available at the city building, Beechwood School and Blessed Sacrament Church. For more information, contact the city at 331-1212.

Principal retires after 32 years as an educator By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
The Kenton County School District said goodbye to a valued administrator at the school board meeting Monday Oct. 19. Dave Johnstone, 55, retired from his 12-year position as principal of Summit View Middle School Oct. 1. Johnstone had been principal ever since the school’s opening in 1998. The school board presented Johnstone with a proclamation for his service to the district and the meeting’s attendees treated him to a standing ovation. “Thanks to all the people of Kenton County for letting me work with their kids,” Johnstone said. Johnstone, an Edgewood resident, has been an educator for the past 32 years. He said he’s looking forward to doing some things around the house and taking the time to figure out his next step. “It was just a great experience, a very positive experience,” he said of his time at Summit View Middle. “There was a lot of great people to work with and great kids.” Johnstone had no idea he
was going to be honored at the meeting, where he was joined by his father, wife, daughter and two grandchildren. “It’s humbling,” he said with a laugh. Johnstone’s daughter Erin Maley, an English teacher at Scott High School, helped plan the surprise with the school district. “I think he’s a great role model and mentor in education,” she said. “I just think he has a really positive impact on kids.” That positive impact could be seen at the school’s good-bye to him Sept. 30, Maley said. Independence Mayor Chris Moriconi presented him with a proclamation for his time educating the children of Independence and students put a stick with Mr. Johnstone’s face glued to it as he walked into the gymnasium. “The kids were awesome. It was just a really neat thing to do,” Maley said. Former vice principal K.C. Ratliff is serving as the interim principal of the school, which will begin a search for a new principal in the spring.

Experience Covington in a new way with tours By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Learn about Covington from the people who know it best. The city of Covington and the Center for Great Neighborhoods have developed Experience Covington: six mp3-downloadable walking tours focusing on the history of Kenton County’s largest city. Over 48 long-time residents, volunteers and community leaders were interviewed to add their personal story to landmarks such as the Behringer-Crawford Museum, the Garden of Hope, the Roebling Suspension Bridge and even the Anchor Grill. The Kenton County Historical Society also shared their knowledge of many spots on the tours. “It’s Covington residents telling people about their city,” said Jean St. John, director of community arts
initiatives for the Center for Great Neighborhoods. The six Experience Covington tours will be available for download at the Covington branch of the Kenton County Public library by the end of this month, St. John said. Playaways will also be available for checkout from the library for individuals without mp3 players. The tours were made possible by a Preserve America federal grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service in 2007. “It’s a really neat program in that it’s supposed to be self-guided so they can experience Covington on their own by giving them all the tools to do that,” said David Grome, creative director of Millimeter Creative, Inc., a Cincinnati company that designed the program’s logo, Web site and kiosk. “People are encouraged to take their free map and audio player

Founded in 1842, the Trinity Episcopal Church on Madison Avenue in Covington is featured on the Experience Covington Faith tour, one of six self-guided tours recently launched by Covington's Center for Great Neighborhoods. The tours can be downloaded onto an mp3 player at the Mary Ann Mongan branch of the Kenton County Public Library from an interactive kiosk or found at experiencecovington.com from the library and really go tour and experience Covington on their own specific driving tour with directions printed out from the kiosk.” While Experience Covington tours are meant to attract people to Covington, it’s
“more about the Covington residents themselves and celebrating their community,” St. John said. Residents can check out six different tours of the city, with themes such as faith, art and culture, architecture, historic, neighborhood and the “Unexpected Covington” tour, which takes the curious
to Covington’s eclectic spots – the most noted the “Spaceship House” on Wright Avenue. The privately-owned UFO-shaped building is not open to visitors, but the tour encourages people to at least drive by and check out the home, which is one of 96 “Futuro” houses built entire-
ly out of plastic in Finland in the late ‘60s. “It’s pretty fun,” St. John said of the Futuro home when she got a chance to go inside recently. “It’s like being in ‘Lost in Space.’” Even if you’re a Northern Kentucky native, there is still something to be learned from the tours, St. John said. “If you have lived here all your life you’ll see it in a whole different way,” she said. “It’s hard to appreciate what’s in your own backyard.” For more information, visit the Web site www. experiencecovington.com.
Park Hills finalizes small area study By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Park Hills City Council unanimously approved the recommendations in the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission’s small area study of the city’s Dixie Highway corridor at the regular meeting Monday Oct. 12. The recommendations will go before the NKAPC Oct. 16 and the Kenton Planning Commission in December. The KCPC has the final approval on whether or not the recommendations are adopted in the city’s comprehensive plan. “Recommendations made within this study are not intended to be done right away,” said NKAPC representation Jenna Haverkos. “The full build out will not
occur for 20 to 30 years.” Study recommendations include making the Dixie Highway corridor bicycle and pedestrian friendly, creating “gateways” at the entrances of the city, creating a village center with public spaces and streamlining Dixie Highway using findings from the Dixie Fix. A core area of vacant land behind the shopping center housing businesses Reality Tuesday and Loschiavo's Produce & Deli is the starting point for future development, Haverkos said. “Sometime much further in the future this area could easily be developed,” she said. A market study conducted simultaneously with the area study found that the city should work to make itself a “destination” and
should “cater” to service industries within the city. Finding niche retail businesses to locate in Park Hills was highly stressed in the market study findings, Haverkos said. “Niche retail is key for this kind of area to survive. You’re not looking for big box commercial businesses. You need to create a sense of place a type of niche market for your retail,” Haverkos said. Creating an oversight committee, changing the land use map and working in zoning text that would shape development in Park Hills and securing funding will be essential to implementing the study’s recommendations. “This is only the beginning for us as a city,” said council member Steve Ryan.

Members of The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind commemorated White Cane Safety Day Oct. 15 with the release of celebratory balloons at the site of the second audible traffic light in Covington Oct. 16. The organization had worked for the last three years with Covington and the state highway department to install an audible traffic light at the corner of 26th Street and Madison Avenue, the second in the city. The light was installed at the end of August. “This will save lives,� said Terri Meyer, advocacy officer for The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind. “We didn’t just do this for the visually impaired.

The 36-year-old Calvary Christian School in Covington will soon add three classrooms, enlarge another and double the size of the cafeteria. Construction is set for November for the 6,600square-foot addition with completion by the end of this school year. The school has more than 400 students pre-school through grade 12. The current cafeteria will become three classrooms while the $750,000 expansion will enlarge another classroom and build a new cafeteria double the size of the current one, said Administrator Donald James. Shortage of space had forced administration to use four modular classrooms with 85 to 100 students behind the school for the last 10 years. While the classrooms were outfitted with everything a classroom inside the main building would have, they were still inconvenient for students and teachers in hot and cold weather, James said. “They loved coming

Classes that once took place in this modular units will then be moved to the current cafeteria. Construction is expected to be completed by next spring. back inside the main facility – teachers and students,” he said. “The modulars were not a great distance away, but when that door opened in the dead of winter you got the gust of winter right into the room.” The school also had to have multiple lunchtimes, some of which ran as late as 1:05 p.m. “It will let students eat at a more appropriate time to better students in the classroom,” James said of the new cafeteria. Currently about 150 students can sit comfortably in the cafeteria. When construction is complete, 300 students will eat lunch at ease.
The expansion will also include a commercial stove. At this time, student lunches are prepared using two residential stoves with the help of over 40 parent volunteers who prepare, cook and serve food to students. Calvary Christian School Food Services Director Valerie Harmon said she was “excited” because the new cafeteria will allow her to offer new entrées and cook more food in a shorter amount of time. “I’m in tight quarters right now,” she said. “It’s going to be helpful.” For more information about Calvary Christian School, visit calvarychristianky.org.

School’s warm clothing drive ends Oct. 28
By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
St. Joseph School has helped keep people warm for the past 17 winters. Sharon Serey’s fourth grade class holds a Warm Clothing Collection in October and collects a significant amount of hats, coats, gloves and even sleeping bags to donate to local charities each year. This year’s donations will be given to St. Vincent De Paul as part of their 8th Annual 5 Cares Coat Drive as well as the River Ridge Elementary Family Resource Center. Serey, also a religion teacher, talks with her students about the
importance of philanthropy before the start of the drive. “It is part of our Christian heritage to participate in sharing with those less fortunate,” she said. Students are asked to bring unneeded warm clothing items from home. If nothing can be donated, she asks students to earn a dollar or two, which she uses to purchase a pair of gloves for the drive. There is no pizza party or other kind of incentive for the students, said Principal Cathy Stover. “There’s no kind of reward for them,” she said. “Just that good inner feeling.” In addition to the fourth grade students, the rest of the school,
parish and even the outside community are invited to donate warm clothing. “I think people understand there is a need to share with those who have less that we do,” Serey said. Fourth grader Lauren Krausen donated two bags full of clothing to the drive. “I feel pretty good because it’s nice to help other people in need that can’t afford to pay for clothes,” she said. Warm clothing will be accepted at the school until Oct. 28. To donate warm clothing to the Warm Clothing Collection, call 578-2742 or stop by St. Joseph School at 2474 Lorraine Court.
All the world’s a stage for Scott High School student Ben Kleymeyer, who was recently chosen to participate in the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s Groundlings 20-week acting program, running through March. The program was developed to teach 10th-12th grade students performance techniques from professional actors while studying William Shakespeare and his works. Kleymeyer was first exposed to acting when he studied Shakespeare in elementary school. “We started studying Shakespeare and doing scenes from it, and I was like ‘This is pretty cool,’” he said. Since the fourth grade Kleymeyer has acted in several plays and musicals in his school and with the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music Preparatory Department. Kleymeyer has had parts in “Romeo and Juliet,” “The Importance of Being Earnest” as well as “The Pirates of Penzance.” Kleymeyer’s “most fun” role so far was Teddy in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” “I love performing and entertaining people. I really like the opportunity to discover someone else and become them,” Kleymeyer said. Hundreds of years later Shakespeare’s writings are still “so real,” Kleymeyer said. “Shakespeare really knew people and he knew what goes on in their minds and what they’re thinking – it’s really cool,” he said. Eventually Kleymeyer hopes to

Scott sophomore Ben Kleymeyer was chosen to be part of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s 20-week acting program for students in grades 10-12. Starting now until March Kleymeyer will learn about acting from professionals and eventually act in a production with the company. expand his experience with directing as well as acting. “I read plays for fun and I can see how I would want it to go,” he said. For now he’s looking forward to learning from Shakespearean actors and performing in a play with them in March. “I really want to become a better actor and bring that back here to make our shows better,” he said. Kleymeyer’s teacher Mandy Volpenhein said Shakespeare can show students “what it is to be human in all its glory and its faults. Groundlings will make Ben more in touch with his abilities and expose him to working with people outside of high school.”

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, the firstgraders at Blessed Sacrament should be the healthiest students around. The three first grade classes celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day on Oct. 15, rotating through different stations throughout the morning as they engaged in various activities to learn more about apples. The day was part of their science unit on planting, gardening and seeds. “The kids always have a blast with this,” said teacher Sarah Meisenhelder. “A lot of them have older siblings who have gone through it, so they come into the school year looking forward to it and asking about it.” At one of the stations, the students sampled four different types of apples, and recorded their results on a graph. At another, the students painted apple trees using water colors, while another station allowed parent volunteers to paint apples on the students’ hands and faces. “It’s been a lot of fun,” said first-grader Joseph Eubank. “I think the best thing is getting to eat the different kinds of apples. The green one was definitely the best!” Meisenhelder said that while the activities during the day were geared toward fun, they also allowed the students to put to use some of the skills they had been using in their lessons. “This day is like a celebration of the unit, so it lets them cut loose a little but they also have to use what they’ve been learning,” she said. “It really is just a fun day for all of us.” For more information about other Blessed Sacrament activities, visit http:// school.bssky.org.

Pioneers clinch district, face Campbell next a showdown with Bellevue for the Class 1A district title. The Tigers travel to Bellevue on Friday, Oct. 23.

Quarterback Matt Rigdon and running back Joe Colosimo each rushed for 159 yards. Rigdon ran for three touchdowns and Colosimo rushed for two scores. Brossart hosts Dayton on Oct. 23.

The Simon Kenton Pioneers travel to face Campbell County on Friday, Oct. 23 for a chance to run the table in district play. The Pioneers have already clinched the program’s first district football title, thanks to a 63-21 victory over Boone County on Friday, Oct. 16. Simon Kenton is now 71 overall, 4-0 in Class 6A district play, and has not lost to a northern Kentucky opponent this season. “The kids put our goals together in the preseason and this was one we thought we could accomplish,” said Pioneers head coach Jeff Marksberry of the district title. “It’s a huge accomplishment and it punctuates what we’ve been able to do here the last couple years.” The Pioneers knew what was on the line and came out hungry against Boone C o u n t y. T h e offensive attack w a s relentless, piling up 57 points in the first half. Miles Simpson set the tone on the Pioneers’ first play from scrimmage, sprinting 76 yards for the first of his five touchdown runs. His big-play ability has been a nightmare for opposing defenses all season. Simpson added touchdown runs of 92 and 75 yards later in the game. The 92-yard run was his longest of the season. “He is a special player, in my opinion the best player in the state,” said Marksberry of his senior tailback. “He continues to get better each week.” The offense has averaged over 49 points per game this season, 57 per game in four district contests. Simpson has rushed for more than 200 yards in each of the four district games. A lot of credit goes to the Simon Kenton offensive line

Highlands’ Spencer Bankemper stops Covington Catholic’s Gabe Gray Oct. 17. for opening up holes for the shifty back to dash through to daylight. “Our offensive line has played outstanding, especially these last four weeks in district play,” said Marksberry. Defenses have had an e v e n tougher t i m e defending Simpson now that junior quarterback Chad Lawrence has established himself as a rushing threat. Lawrence rushed for 103 yards and two scores and passed for 94 yards in the win over Boone County. “Having another guy that is a threat to score every time he touches the ball is a huge boost to our offense,” said Marksberry. The defense has done its part to complement the high-octane offense. The Pioneers held Boone County running backs Charles Quainoo and Jordan Oppenheimer to a combined 100 yards rushing, well below their season average. The Simon Kenton starters will be well rested entering the Campbell County game after sitting out the second half of the Boone County win. “It was great for our backups to get game experi-
ence and share in the excitement of the district championship game,” said Marksberry. The Pioneers have reached one of their goals, but still have plenty of accomplishments left to achieve this season. A return trip to the Class 6A championship game is near the top of their list. If they can continue to improve each week, the Pioneers may bring the state title back to northern Kentucky. As well as they have played lately, there is still room for improvement. “We have yet to play a perfect game,” said Marksberry. “We are going to work to eliminate mistakes as much as possible.” Hard work has paid off so far for the district champion Pioneers. Defeating perennial district power Boone County to clinch the title added to the excitement. “Our kids have worked hard and stayed focused on their goals,” said Marksberry. “They are excited to reach one of those goals and it is even more rewarding that it comes against a program like Boone County.” Beechwood 54, Brossart 7 Beechwood (5-3) blew out Brossart (4-3) to set up

His score cut the Bulldogs’ lead to 14-9, but Oden sealed the win with his final TD run with three minutes to play.

Kacy Corbit was looking forward to her first-ever regional volleyball tournament match. “We’re very thrilled,” said the Villa Madonna Academy senior. “It’s unbelievable and it’s awesome.

Removing plant debris a plus for disease control Question: Most of my vegetable garden has stopped producing. My tomatoes and squash died from some disease. I’ve already picked all my peppers. Frost has damaged some of the plants. Should I go ahead and just till up the garden now, or wait until spring? How much “fall cleanup” is needed? Answer: You can reduce the risk of some common problems next year by getting rid of leftover plant debris in vegetable, flower and fruit gardening areas this fall. Several disease-causing fungi and bacteria spend the winter on plant debris, and can cause diseases the following growing season. Proper garden sanitation can combat such diseases as early
blight, mildews, gray mold fungus and various root rot and wilt problems. To combat d i s e a s e s , remove all plants, except Mike Klahr winter vegetaCommunity bles or cover crops, from the Recorder garden. It is columnist e s p e c i a l l y important to completely clean out and destroy all diseased plants in vegetable gardens and fruit plantings. Carefully dig up and remove decomposing roots to keep them from releasing disease-causing microbes into the soil. Also,
CHATROOM
remove spent blooms and foliage from flower gardens and all the shrunken, dried up fruits (called “mummies”) on or around trees and grapevines. Garden debris is a wonderful addition to a compost pile. A good pile will heat up and completely decompose the remains in a few years. This process will destroy most disease-causing organisms. However, many home compost piles do not heat up enough for this to happen. If sufficient heat development does not occur in your composting process, you should dispose of severely diseased plants, especially those infected with root knot nematode or Fusarium and Verticillium wilt diseases. Be sure to put these infected plants where
they cannot be recycled into the garden. Gardeners who decide not to completely remove old plants should till gardening areas to break dead plant materials into smaller pieces and then work them into the soil. Plant debris decomposes more rapidly when buried than when left on the soil surface. This reduces populations of diseasecausing organisms that could cause problems next year. Planting a cover crop like winter wheat or rye to maintain and rejuvenate the soil is another way to get your vegetable garden off to a good start next year. A cover crop will help prevent erosion of enriched topsoil, keep rains from leaching minerals from
the soil, prevent compaction and stop growth of weeds that can serve as overwintering sites for insects and diseases. A cover crop also will add organic matter, both from its roots and when tilled into the garden soil. Successfully growing a cover crop requires proper crop selection, correct timing and good management techniques. You will reap the benefits of cover crops in future vegetable harvests. For more information, free garden literature and free soil testing, contact your local County Extension Service Office, or visit the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture home page at www. ca.uky.edu.

Next question
Last week’s question
Should the federal government’s incentive program for new home buyers be extended? Why or why not?
“I think so. It could revitalize our economy by moving the inventory of unsold homes. It is a boost to the construction industry and will put more unemployed builders back to work. I have a friend who is a plasterer by trade and has only had four new homes to work on compared to the 25 or 30 he normally does in a year.” Duke “Before we start random programs to help ‘select’ persons buy a new home or stay in their home, we need to take a step back and look at what incentives would really start the economy
Should local governments consider consolidating services to save costs? If so, which services? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. moving. There are not enough people with jobs; therefore not enough homes can be purchased to make a substantial impact on the economy. Maybe we should look at keeping jobs in the U.S. and stop sending jobs to Mexico, Guatamala, Honduras, China, etc. ... keeping jobs here would spike the economy and we would not need to spend money to make money!” Florence “Yes! My son is in real estate and he needs to earn a living.” G.G.

Halloween safety tips to make the holiday a treat With Halloween approaching and thousands of kids getting ready to hit the streets in search of loads of candy and other treats, an article on some Halloween safety tips might be helpful. With what seems to be an ever increasing number of people bent on evil in this world today, which may include some child sexual offenders or other type criminals, certain basic safety precautions should be taken. Before sending children out on Halloween night, parents should consider the below listed precautions along with any other precautions you may feel are appropriate for your particular situation.
• Parents should always accompany younger children for traffic and other safety reasons. • Make sure older children James A. trick or treat Daley with friends and sure you Community make know where all Recorder they will be guest going at columnist approximately what times. If one of your children turns up missing, it would be very helpful to know just where they had
been. • Tell children only to stop at the front entrances to lighted houses. Tell the kids not to go around to any unlighted side or rear entrances to homes. • Feed your children a meal before they go out and encourage them to not eat treats until they get home. If they are going to eat treats while out trick or treating, tell them to make sure they only eat unopened candies and other treats that are in original wrappers. • When the treats are brought back home, check them in a well lighted place for any indications of tampering or contamination. • Strongly emphasize traffic
safety with the children. The children should wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes so they can be easily seen by motorists. It would also be helpful to keep costumes short to prevent trips and falls. • Consider using makeup instead of masks. Masks can obstruct a child’s vision and could prevent them from seeing an oncoming car or suspicious person. • Trick or treaters should always be in groups so they aren’t a tempting target for criminals. There’s a lot of truth to the old saying that there is security in numbers. • Make sure children know not
to enter strangers’ houses or cars regardless of what may sound like good reason to enter the house or car. Almost every year we hear stories of children hit by cars at Halloween and/or candy and treats contaminated with needles or other items. Observing the above safety precautions could prevent injury or disaster. If you find any contaminated treats or observe any other type of potentially criminal conduct, please contact your local police department so that criminal charges can be pursued if appropriate.

Typically by mid-October, Tammy Simpson is just getting geared up for another winter season with Scarf It Up, the local charity she runs that provides handmade scarves, hats and gloves to less fortunate people. But this year, thanks to some generous donations, she’s already in midseason form. “We’ve never had this many donations at this point in the year before,” said the Crestview Hills resident, sifting through boxes of hats and gloves in her garage. “It’s fantastic to know that we’ve got so many people supporting us, and we think we’re going to be able to do more than ever because of that.” Simpson began running Scarf It Up in 2006, taking over for a colleague and expanding the program to include all people, not just children. Working with a variety of service agencies and shelters throughout Northern Kentucky, she said the organization distributed over 4,000 items last year, and hope to top 5,000 this year. “I’ve been very blessed in my life, and I wanted to do something to give back,” said Simpson, explaining why she became involved. “Some of the stories we hear while we’re out are just heart-breaking, but that’s why we’re doing this - to help people who need it.” Simpson regularly spends most of the year speaking at various schools, churches and community groups
Scarf It Up
Scarf It Up seeks to provide handmade scarves, as well as hats and gloves to less fortunate residents of Northern Kentucky. Donation barrels will be set up at the Kenton County Public Library, Edgewood city building, Knitwits Contemporary Yarn Shop, Lakeside Christian Church and Burlington Library, among other places. Donations of materials, such as yarn or fleece, are also welcome. Scarf It up also offers various knitting courses for residents to learn how to make scarves. For more information, visit www.scarfitup.org or www.shouldertoshoulderinc.org. about the mission of Scarf It Up, before focusing on collecting, sorting and donating items in the winter months. But this year, even with collection barrels not set to hit the streets until early November, she’s already got more than a dozen boxes full of items, with more coming in every day. She has already received donations from the Kenton County Rotary Club and US Bank, as well as some of the proceeds from the Silverlake Splash and Dash event. “It’s been amazing to see how this has grown every year,” she said. “We just want to keep spreading word throughout the community and get as many people supporting this as we can.” Janet Haney, the owner of Knitwits Contemporary Yarn Shop in Crescent Springs, said getting involved with
Scarf It Up was an easy decision for them. Knitwits helped Scarf It Up sponsor their kick-off event in September, and they also serve as a collection point for donated handmade scarves. “We all obviously love to knit over here, and to be able to work with such a great cause is something we’re glad to do,” she said. “Tammy does an incredible job, and she really energizes everybody to get on board with this.” For her part, Simpson is quick to credit her staff of volunteers, who help to sort items, empty collection barrels, pass out items at shelters, teach knitting classes and spread word about the organization to the community. Scarf It Up offers year-round knitting classes at the Erlanger and Durr Branches of the Kenton County Public Library, as well a special course at Thomas More College for adults that started this fall. She also recently helped Scarf It Up to become part of Shoulder To Shoulder, another local foundation that works year-round to help out lowincome families. “There’s a lot of people who come together to make this work,” she said. “It’s amazing to see how many lives we can touch, and we just want to keep going.” For more information about Scarf It Up, including details about knitting classes and making donations, visit www.scarfitup.org or www.shouldertoshoulderinc.org.

We can close the door to what we want
Too often we are our own worst enemy. We badly want or need something, yet behave in such a way that we diminish our chances of getting it. For example: we’re lonely and look for a friend or someone to love us. And voila, we meet a likeable person who shows some interest in us. And what is our reaction? We desperately cling to them, phone or text message them 10 times a day, or express jealousy if they have other friends. Unless they’re equally obtuse, they’ll soon leave. We drive them away by giving them reason to fear suffocation, or that they’ll lose themselves in the black hole of our needs. On the other hand, we might close the door by exhibiting the opposite behavior. We are lonely and
looking, but portray a selfsufficiency, gruffness or coolness that says in unspoFather Lou k e n Guntzelman w o r d s , need Perspectives “Me, someone? No way! Needing is only for weaklings.� Once again, the other person goes away. Who wants to stand before a closed door? Multiply those situations in various scenarios and we way get a picture of many people’s lives. There are sales-people who want to make a sale and become pushy or turn into a leach; parents who yearn for more time with their adult children yet engender guilt trips
when then come; clergy who encourage church attendance, yet constantly preach fear and treat attendees as children. If we are door-closers, how do we counter our tendency to be one? Of course, the first step is to “know yourself� – as the early Greeks were wise enough to realize. We must honestly analyze our own behavior and realistically examine our words, actions and attitudes. Are we aware of our choice of words or implied impressions, and the result they have on others? Can
we detect our possessive, arrogant or insulting manner of acting or speaking? Step two. We need to become students of human nature. It doesn’t take a Mensa Society IQ to recognize the basic dynamics of our shared humanness. One of the most precious things we all need and hope for is expressed by the clinical term empathic resonance. You and I are yearning for someone who genuinely “resonates� with us – who will understand us and recognize how we may feel in the circumstances of life. We are not asking that
someone always agree with us, but that there is a genuine connection of their person with “my� person. What a satisfaction it is when someone stands in my shoes for a moment. That indicates a door is open. We tend not to shut as many doors when we remember and sense that though we are unique, there is still a solidarity within our human nature. Perhaps I’ve quoted her words too often, but I really feel Lily Tomlin expressed a great truth when she said, “We’re all in this together, by ourselves!�
Our children are not children any longer; a customer is profit, a salesperson is overhead; parishioners are fellow-seekers, and clergy are not gods with thunderbolts; and a person seeking love and understanding, well, that’s all of us. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@communitypress.co m or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Popcorn is the all-ages snack for the season
Aunt Lil’s baked caramel corn
From friend Carolyn Grieme, a Northern Kentucky reader who believes, like I do, that cooking with family from heirloom recipes is not only satisfying, but preserves personal history, as well. Here’s what she told me
about this recipe: “This is handed d o w n from my Aunt Lil. We don’t know for Rita sure, but Heikenfeld we believe she may Rita s kitchen have gotten the recipe from one of her fellow church members. “She was very involved for many years in various ways at her church, St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, Barnsburg (Cincinnati). Whenever we invited family over for holiday dinners or just a common get together, Aunt Lil would always come with gifts. “Often she would bring large bags of this baked caramel corn, which we all loved. Other times, she would bring plants that she had dug out of her yard for us to transplant to our own yards - she loved gardening as well.”
2 sticks butter or margarine 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 24 cups popped corn (about 2-3 bags microwave popped or 1 cup unpopped)
Boil butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour mixture over popped corn and mix well. Pour into shallow pans Carolyn uses two or three 9” x 13” pans. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Cool completely, and break apart. Store in tight containers.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen:
• Add a couple cups nuts to the corn to make a Cracker Jack like treat. • Spray the bowl, spoon,
etc. for easy mixing.
Marshmallow popcorn balls or squares
I’ll be making these with the grandkids this week. You can make all sorts of shapes - like ghosts, tombstones, etc. and decorate with tiny candies. You can also put these on sticks, make tiny balls for a party, etc. l/2 cup popcorn, popped or 1 bag microwave popcorn, popped (11-12 cups popped corn) 5-6 cups mini marshmallows (about a 10 oz bag) 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla l cup mini M&M type candies (optional) Melt marshmallows and butter over low heat. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla and blend. Combine candies with popcorn in a bowl sprayed with vegetable spray, and pour marshmallow mixture over. Mix well with sprayed spatula and spoon and form into balls with sprayed hands or pour
into sprayed 9” x 13” pan (when chilled, cut into squares).
Did you know popcorn is good for you?
It’s a whole grain with 4 grams of fiber per serving. Eating popcorn may curb your appetite. Folks who ate 1 cup of fat-free popcorn half an hour before a meal ate less than folks who snacked on an equal amount of potato chips. Popcorn has more dietary fiber and antioxidants than any other snack food.
Monster eyes
You can form the balls ahead minus the olives and refrigerate. Just increase the baking time. 3 cups all purpose baking mix (I use Kroger brand) 1 pound uncooked regular or hot pork sausage 8 oz Muenster or cheddar cheese, shredded Pimento-stuffed olives Preheat oven to 400. Mix everything together and shape into small 1 1/4” or so balls. Put on sprayed

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

Library offers homework help The Kenton County Public Library offers several services that can help students of any age - elementary, middle and high school or even college. Many children need to use the Library for research help but try to find ways around it because they have fines on their library card account. Children and teens can read off their fines due to late fees (not lost or unreturned items) and get a fresh start. Children wanting to read off their fines should stop by the children's desk at the Coving-
ton, Erlanger or Independence location. The value of reading time for Fresh Start is 10 cents a minute. For example, for every 15 minutes you read, you can reduce your fines by $1.50. Parents, siblings, and friends can read to young children. “We know people sometimes forget to return items on time, especially children,” says Patti Richards, Children's Services Director. “We don't want them to avoid the Library because of late fees. This gives them the opportunity to get a
fresh start and be able to use the resources they need.” Students often get stuck on their homework but they can still get free help, even if the Library is closed. You can chat live online from the comfort of your home with a reference librarian 24/7 at www.askwhyky.org. The Library's Web site gives patrons free access to over 60 databases. Many of those can be accessed from home with just a Kenton County Public Library card number. Start by visiting

Mango is an online language-learning system that teaches actual conversation skills for 12 different languages. A library card number is needed to use the Library online databases, even when accessing from home. September is National Library Card Sign Up Month so it's the perfect time to get your free library card if you don't already have one. Adults only need a valid ID or a piece of mail with their current address. Children can get a free library card with parent permission.

Curves promotes wellness, breast cancer awareness In conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness, participating Curves of Northern Kentucky will offer a special, one-weekonly special on their service fee. Studies have shown that physical exercise reduces the risk of breast cancer and Curves wants to take this time to encourage the women of Northern Kentucky to learn more about the impact that wellness has on preventing cancer. A healthy diet, regular exercise, monthly breast self-exams and yearly mammograms together are essential in breast cancer prevention. Pam Westerman, owner of the Curves locations in Florence and Independence says, “A lot of women know about breast cancer prevention, but don’t act on it. I like to think of it as that ignored sticky-note reminder on the bathroom mirror. At Curves, we want to put action to that sticky note.” Curves locations have available the Liv-Aid, a self breast exam device that helps to better detect irregularities. Also, several locations across Northern Kentucky are hosting a “Girls Get Together” event. Those attending the Girls Get Together Party will participate in a casual time packed with valuable conversation,
information and encouragement. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in a fund raiser to support American Cancer Society and will also have the chance to win door prizes and merchandise. “American Cancer Society has always been near to our hearts,” Westerman said. “This is a fund raiser that touches so many of our ladies.” Members and non-members alike are invited to participate in the Girls Get Together Party. Those wishing to become a member will receive a special discount in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. Then, from Oct. 19 through Oct. 24, the participating Curves locations will offer a $0 service fee for those who provide proof of either a recent mammogram or a donation to American Cancer Society . According to Westerman, “The Curves of Northern Kentucky are committed to helping the women of our community live healthy and strong lives and our emphasis on breast cancer awareness is just one way that we can help encourage them.” For information on the Girls Get Together Party and the one-week-only $0 service fee special, contact a Curves near you, call 1800-CURVES30 or visit curveskentucky.com.

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…

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 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.
