Walgreens is in the process of clearing the site of its future location in Fort Wright, on the corner of Dixie Highway and Kyles Lane. The Joseph Kuchle homestead and garage were demolished in the past week in preparation for construction. City Administrator Gary Huff said the new Walgreens should be complete by late spring or early summer 2010. The former Walgreens in the Fort Wright Plaza will be empty, along with the former site of Stein Mart. It is likely the Pizza Hut located in the Fort Wright Plaza will be closing as well by the end of the year, Huff said, saying the restaurant did not renew its liquor license for this year and that the building itself was built in the ’70s and is out-of-date for the chain’s needs. Fort Wright Mayor Joe Nienaber sees the new Walgreens’ construction as a development opportunity. “It’s moving one business from one end of the highway to another, but I think it’s going to be a stimulus for good things to come on that part of the highway,” he said. “In the end I think it’s going to be good for the shopping center because it will create a need for some activity.” Huff said the city is committed to working with the developer of

The Walgreens in Fort Wright will be moving up the road to the corner of Dixie Highway and Kyles Lane next year. Store completion should happen in late spring or early summer 2010. Walgreens' removal will leave the Fort Wright Plaza almost empty, something Fort Wright city officials hope to fix by working with the developer of the shopping center. the Fort Wright Plaza, Tappan Properties, to pursue leasing in the current structure or developing opportunities for the entire property. “I think anything is possible in that entire area,” he said. City officials said there isn’t a particular business they’re looking to see in the plaza, but Nienaber hopes it will be a business or busi-
nesses that mesh with the rest of the city and provide a needed service to citizens. “We’re trying to encourage a stable business atmosphere so that it isn’t vacant most of the time,” Huff said. Nienaber said in a few years the entire city will start reaping benefits of what the economic development committee is work-
ing on now, including the new city “brand” and other marketing materials. The committee’s work on business and property owner outreach and zoning review will also play a part. “In three or four years the work the economic development committee is doing will make a difference to the city of Fort Wright,” Nienaber said.
Beechwood looks at billboards for revenue By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
In a sign of the times, the Beechwood School Board is looking to get creative to help meet their future budget needs. The board is working with the Fort Mitchell city council to look into the possibility of placing billboards on the school’s property that would be visible to drivers on I-75. The proposal calls for two billboards of standard size approximately 14 feet high and 48 feet wide- that would sit on the far edge of the school’s property, close to the interstate. At the Nov. 2 city council meeting, school board chairman Michael Dammert spoke about the potential project, and requested the city look into a text amendment in their zoning ordinances that would allow for the billboard. The city would have to apply for the amendment to the Kenton County Planning Commission on behalf of the board. “We want to be able to work together on this,” said Dammert. “We’re on the right path to making this a reality, and we’re just looking to keep moving forward in the process.” Dammert said the board has

Beechwood Independent Schools has asked the city of Fort Mitchell to amend its zoning regulations to allow the district to erect two billboards on school property facing the interstate. already entered into a contract with Tom Norton of Norton Outdoor Advertising to begin looking for potential advertisers on the billboards. While neither the board nor the council can legally regulate the content of the sign, Dammert said they are being extremely cautious in their search, and have language in their contract that prohibits cer-
tain kind of advertising. “We all live in Fort Mitchell and drive that way, so we certainly want something that will reflect positively on the city and the school,” said Dammert. “There are certain values to which I hold our business, and I can assure everyone that this will be done in a way that will not embarrass the city,” added Nor-
ton. Norton said his company manages a similar billboard in Newport near Newport High School, that contains an advertisement for the Cincinnati Museum Center. “This isn’t entirely unprecedented,” he pointed out. Dammert said the revenue generated from the billboard would be a great asset to the district, although he said they don’t have any numbers in place yet. Following Dammert’s presentation, Holocher requested the council write down any concerns they may have, with a discussion expected at the next council meeting. Then, the council could decide whether to move forward with an application to the planning commission, who would research all aspects of the project before making a recommendation to the council. “As long as we can ensure it won’t be intrusive, I think I would be in favor of moving forward with this,” said councilman Denny Zahler. “I think it’s a good thing for the school system to gain revenue that they need.” The next regularly scheduled council meeting is 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16.

States’ rights measure stirs debate
By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
One Lakeside Park council member feels the support of a resolution reaffirming states’ rights is an inappropriate action for nonpartisan city officials. “I didn’t say I was against the proposal per se, but I am against the use of the council to promote, to my way of thinking, a political philosophy or a political agenda,” said Council member John Rhodes, who was elected last November. Rhodes is fearful the resolution, which was passed 5-1 by council at their October regular meeting, will alienate residents rather than unite them. “When you start talking politics and parties you’re dividing people,” Rhodes said. The states’ rights resolution, known as BR 54, is a resolution by
Rep. Stan Lee of Lexington, which calls upon the federal government to stop passing federal mandates that affect local governments without the money to pay for them. The resolution will be considered in the 2010 legislative session. Rhodes said instead of dividing residents with “partisan” resolutions, he would “like to try to promote unity within our city with more community involvement through the Web site or any other activities, whatever we can do to promote community spirit,” he said. Former senator and current council member Dick Roeding brought the resolution supporting BR 54 to the attention of Lakeside Park City Council. “If you read the resolution, there’s no politics in this. This is just expressing the feelings of the people, ‘Hey you guys, abide by your oath to uphold and defend the Con-
“If you read the resolution, there’s no politics in this. This is just expressing the feelings of the people, ‘Hey you guys, abide by your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.’” Dick Roeding Lakeside Park council member stitution,’” Roeding said. The resolution was also a response to concerns from many residents who approached him, Roeding said. “This is something we’re hearing from all of our citizens and they are expressing their frustration with not being able to do anything about this,” he said.
Council member Paul Markgraf agreed with Roeding, saying “there is a difference between taking position on items that affect our citizens and our city and partisan political activity.” Markgraf said the government is requiring cities and other employers to use more and more employee time to fulfill these mandates “without any type of compensation.” Council member David Jansing said it was council’s duty to act on the behalf of citizens. “If there is something as a council that we can either support or not support as a group because we feel that it would be either helpful or detrimental to our residents, we have a duty to act on that accordingly,” he said. Residents who would like to comment on the issue can contact the city at 341-6670 or e-mail lsp@fuse.net.
Growing deer population on city’s radar By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Fort Mitchell city administrator Steve Hensley says the city has no plans to change any of their ordinances regarding firearms, despite concerns from several residents about the deer population in the city. Councilman Bill Reis brought up the subject at the Nov. 2 council meeting, saying he simply wanted to the council to think about potential solutions to the deer problem. He said a resident recently contacted him after opening their front door to find a deer on their front porch. Although the resident was unharmed, the deer
caused some damage to the porch when fleeing, prompting the resident to contact Reis. “I don’t really know what we can do, but it’s something I just think the council should be aware of,” said Reis. “It seems we’re seeing more and more deer around some areas, so it’s just something we may need to think about, as far as possible options.” Hensley said that city ordinances currently prohibit the firing of any firearms or projectile weapons in the city, unless done through an licensed educational or academic program, such as through the school or a church. “Our experience is that
by opening that up, we could create more problems than the animals themselves are causing,” said Hensley. “The deer are definitely an issue the city is aware of and looking into, but there’s no clear cut solution right now that we’ve found.” Hensley said he’s been in touch with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources about ways to combat the deer population, but they’ve yet to find an effective method. He said other cities have tried trapping and relocation the deer, but the cost and effectiveness of the program was far from a success. However, he did point out that interaction between
residents and the deer is usually minimal, and said the greatest danger the police department usually faces is deer on the roadways. “I don’t think it’s really a concern of the deer attacking or harming people, as much as just damaging landscaping and things like that,” he said. “I understand that can be frustrating for residents, but there’s not a ton of options we have right now.” Hensley did say the KDFWR does offer tips on their Web site to residents about how to keep deer off their property, and that the police department will immediately respond to any emergency situations. But
he said that simple things, such as not leaving food out for the deer, could go a long ways toward minimizing the interactions. “They are wild animals, and if you feed them they will keep coming back and bringing their friends,” said Hensley with a laugh. “We understand that they are beautiful creatures and some people like to see them, but it’s a situation where we need to exercise good judgment.” To view the tips about handling deer in your property, visit www.kdfwr.state. ky.us.

Welcome House also works to secure sufficient income and assist in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing for homeless families. The remainder of donations will be given to Scarf It Up! of Northern Kentucky, which distributes scarves to multiple agencies in the region. “It’s been amazing,� said Welcome House Development Coordinator Ashley Anderson. “Without some of the things from the Mitten Tree we couldn’t help our clients nearly as much. Working with the library this year is definitely going to play a huge role in how many clients we can serve.� Last Christmas the community donated $500 worth of gloves, hats, mittens and scarves to Welcome House, Anderson said. “This Christmas is going to be tight with a lot of peo-

In 2008, Welcome House gave emergency assistance with food and hygiene items to over 6,800 adults and children and shelter to 290 adults and children. “We’ve been tremendously blessed with the outpouring of support from the community and we hope that continues this holiday season as well,� Anderson said.

COLLEGE NOTE Gateway offers childcare classes
Gateway Community and Technical College is implementing a new school age childcare certificate program, beginning in the spring semester of 2010. The program includes creditbearing courses (15 college credit hours) for individuals wishing to pursue a career working with schoolchildren, ages 5-through12, in group-settings such as before-and-after school care, fullday school vacation programs and summer camps. The required five courses focus on child development, positive guidance, developmentally appropriate practice and the specific needs and interests of school-age children. The school-age certificate
required courses are embedded within the Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education program offered at GCTC. It is a great starting point for individuals desiring to work with school-age children, currently working with school age children or continuing to advance their level of education. It is possible to complete the certificate in one or two semesters. However, if a potential student has a current child development associate credential, they can receive articulated credit for nine credit hours, and need only three classes to complete the certificate. It is also possible to complete this entire credential online. For more information, please contact Dr. Susan Santos, Division of Arts, Humanities & Social Science chair, at 859-442-4165.

The new Turkey Foot Middle School is scheduled to be completed in 2010.
Turkey Foot’s name, mascot won’t change
By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
After soliciting public opinion through open meetings and online surveys, a committee formed to consider Turkey Foot Middle School’s name and mascot decided a change wasn’t needed. Some faculty and parents approached school officials in September about the possibility of changing either the school’s name or mascot. This group felt the school should not be named after Turkeyfoot Road and that the mascot “Indians” was offensive. Changing the mascot is a sitebased council decision while the name change would have had to get a final approval from the Kenton County Board of Education. In response to the concerns, the school created a committee made up of teachers, parents and students who reviewed comments from three site-based council
meetings, a public forum and survey results to come to their decision, said Principal Tom Arnzen. The committee recommended not changing either the name or mascot, which the council upheld at two meetings Oct. 14 and 27. Officials felt it was important to make a decision on either issue before the opening of the new Turkey Foot Middle School next fall. “We looked into the possibility of making these changes because there was an interest in the community in finding out how people felt about the changes,” Arnzen said. “It was very plain to see by the end of the process that the interest was not there.” Vice principal Debbie Obermeyer estimated those not in favor of changing the name or mascot made up about 80 percent of respondents. There were as many as 300 to 400 online surveys taken, Obermeyer said. “People really like the tradition
of the school,” she said. “I don’t think it was political at all, I just think that’s the way it’s always been since 1963 and they would hate to see it change.” While Turkey Foot Indians is here to stay, the school is open to the possibility of a mascot redesign, Obermeyer said, because members of the American Indian community as well as some students and faculty expressed concerns about the usage of sacred feathers and a head dress in an older mascot at September’s public forum. After the Christmas holidays a committee will research and consult with American Indians about the possibly offensive images used in the school’s mascot, Obermeyer said. “We don’t want to desecrate anybody’s feelings or thoughts so we want to do it right. If we do have to re-do our mascot, we will. We may not have to, it may be fine,” she said.

Gateway received the $180,000 as a part of an overall $5.5 million grant that was presented to the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. The grant was the largest, nationally competitive, unrestricted grant in KCTCS history, according to KCTCS President Michael B. McCall. The grant was awarded by the NSF as an effort to strengthen the proficiency and global competitiveness of the automotive manufacturing workforce. Gateway will use the funds to purchase equipment, which will be placed in the transportation
technology lab. Equipment will allow students to practice automotive technology skills in a realworld setting. “This will enable Gateway to increase the capability of the transportation technology program by allowing more entrylevel students to utilize the training equipment,” said Sam Collier, chair and assistant professor of automotive technology. “The lab will also be open to secondary and post-secondary educators as an opportunity to advance their knowledge.” “These simulators will now give us the opportunity to teach entry-level students the skills necessary because they don’t have to worry about crashing a real car,” Collier said. “The grant will allow us a chance to highlight our work at a national level.”

Thomas More women soccer team falls
The second-seeded Thomas More College women’s soccer team fell, 2-1, to third-seeded Washington & Jefferson College in double overtime, Nov. 3, in a Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament semifinal match at The Bank of Kentucky Field. W&J took an early 1-0 lead when Elizabeth Bendick scored off an assist from Hannah Shaner at the 8:18 mark. The Presidents kept the 1-0 at halftime. Then at the 80:11 mark senior defender Kaitlyn Cohen, a Seton High School graduate, tied the match at 1-1 when she scored on a free kick from 24yards out. The two teams remained tied through the rest of regulation and the first overtime period. Molly Macioce scored the Presidents’ game-winning goal at the 104:33 mark from 20yards out. Senior goalkeeper Jenna Kramer played all 104:33 in goal and allowed two goals and recorded six saves and ends the season with a 15-3-1 record. The two teams were tied 15-15 in shots, but Thomas More won the battle of corner kicks, 5-4. The Saints end the season at 15-3-1 overall.
Second team all-star

Pandas lose marathon state final
By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Two years ago, when Notre Dame Academy played Sacred Heart Academy in the girls’ state soccer semifinals, Sacred Heart scored in the first 10 seconds and won 2-0 to eliminate the Pandas. When the teams met again in a state tournament game Nov. 7, it took 110 minutes of game time and nearly three hours of actual time for any ball to find the back of the net. The result was just as painful for the Pandas, as that one ball led to a state title for Sacred Heart, as the Valkyries beat the Pandas in the state championship game at Georgetown College. Sacred Heart (19-1-2) won, 1-0 in penalty kicks to win its third straight title. NDA, which had handed SHA its only loss earlier this season, finished 23-4-1. After 80 minutes of scoreless regulation and 30 minutes of overtime, the teams went to penalty kicks, best-of-five for each team. The teams went 0-for-7 combined to start. SHA misfired on its first three attempts. Notre Dame misfired on its first, then SHA goalkeeper Maddie Peabody made saves on Torrie Lange and Chandler Clark. On NDA’s fourth attempt,

Megan Berberich tried to chip it over Peabody and missed by inches, hitting the bottom of the crossbar. SHA followed with a successful kick to lead 1-0. It came down to NDA senior Ally Westling. Like Berberich, she aimed high, but Peabody leaped and tipped the ball over the crossbar to clinch it. “I was fully confident when I hit it that it was going in,” said Westling. “I guess the way the whole night went for us, it wasn’t meant to be.” Said NDA head coach Sara Raaker: “It’s rare that all five of our shooters miss the PK. They are clearly our best five shooters. It just
wasn’t our night. They can be proud of themselves because they left it all out on the field. There has to be a winner and a loser in the game. Unfortunately we didn’t come up on the winning side.” It concluded a wellplayed game on both sides culminating in fine saves by both keepers and other clutch defensive plays. In the 14th minute, Notre Dame had its best early scoring opportunity, with Peabody making a save on junior Heather Shelton, then saving a rebound shot from sophomore Ellyn Abdelghany. In the 22nd minute, Lange lofted a 30-yard pass
to junior Alexa Clark, but Peabody saved her shot from point-blank range. Berberich, a senior, saved Sacred Heart’s best chance in the first half, after Spenser Knauss slipped the ball past NDA freshman keeper Olivia Voskuhl. Berberich cleared the ball away just before it crossed the goal line. In the second half, Kelsey Malyszek nearly scored on a free kick by Sacred Heart. Shelton had NDA’s two best shots of the half. In sudden death overtime (the last 10 minutes), Abdelghany and sophomore Corinne Brown had strong shots at the goal. Peabody was named the most valuable player of the state tournament. “She played a fantastic game,” Raaker said. “There were a couple of shots in the
first half I thought we could sneak through. She came up big the entire game.” The Pandas had eight seniors, including starters Ally Westling, Katie Russo, Megan Berberich, Courtney Clark, and Torrie Lange. Others are Meghan Reed, Jordan Zumdick and Jill Benzinger. Lange, Clark and Berberich were all-tournament picks. Clark led the team with 15 goals, including both in a semifinal win over Daviess County. On the other hand, NDA started five sophomores and one freshman against Sacred Heart and had multiple underclassmen with key time off the bench. “There’s a core that will be hungry for next year,” Raaker said. “We’ll miss our seniors, they were such an emotional and physical presence on the field.”

The seeds held in the first weekend of the state playoffs for all but one Kenton County team. Dixie Heights, a No. 3 seed, upset second-seeded Ashland Blazer to advance to the second round. Other than that mild upset, the teams that were supposed to win took care of business in week 11. The Colonels’ reward for winning is a matchup against top-ranked Highlands in round two. Other games that highlight the second-round schedule include Covington Catholic trying to avenge last year’s playoff exit at the hands of Johnson Central and Simon Kenton aiming to keep its state championship drive alive against DuPont Manual. For three Kenton County schools, the 2009 season is over. Scott, Lloyd, and Ludlow all suffered season-ending defeats in the first round.

Colonels’ will-not-die spirit helped at state By James Weber
By James Weber jweber@nky.com
The players on the Covington Catholic soccer team brought the will-not-die spirit of the school motto into their state semifinal match. For more than threefourths of the Colonels’ contest against St. Xavier, it was enough, but eventually St. X’s roster won out. St. Xavier eliminated the Colonels 4-1 Nov. 4 at Georgetown College. “Over 80 minutes, they were a better team,” CovCath senior Michael Huffmyer said. “We stuck with them for 60 minutes. Their talent and depth just took over.” St. X (22-1-1) advanced to the state final looking for its third straight state championship. CovCath finished 14-7-1. The Tigers, averaging nearly five goals per game this year, came out firing against CovCath with two great scoring opportunities in the first five minutes. CovCath senior goalkeeper Brett Futscher saved two close shots. St. X connected with 15 minutes left in the first half after CovCath could not clear the ball from its zone. Senior Tyler Riggs, who finished the game with 28 goals this season, scored. CovCath came right back a minute later, as the Colonels kept the ball in the box, with sophomore Sam Mullen finding the loose ball and scoring to tie it. It was the fourth straight postseason game Mullen scored a goal, his ninth overall. The Colonels became just the seventh team to score a goal against the Tigers this season. “That was huge,” Huffmyer said. “Most teams, they get scored on by X, they put their heads down and they get beat 5-0. We came back. We knew we could play with these guys.” After a mostly even second half, St. X grabbed a 21 lead with 24 minutes to play on Riggs’ second goal of the game. St. X scored twice more in the next 10 minutes to run away. “After we scored that first goal, they came back and punched us in the mouth,” St. X head coach Andy Schulten said. “We were on our heels the rest of the half.” CovCath head coach Al Hertsenberg said, “St. X just kept throwing bodies on the field. They were a little more athletic than we were
Notre Dame Academy claimed the Class 3A, Region 5 girls’ cross country championship Nov. 7 at Scott High School. The Pandas scored 37 points to 65 for Dixie Heights.

Junior Mary List finished third, followed by Megan Good (sixth), Lauren Lentsch (eighth), Carly Scheper (ninth), Brenna Schutzman (11th), Morgan Stenger (15th) and Katie Marshall (17th). Dixie Heights was led by Lyndsey Wehage in fourth and Courtney Hutchison in seventh. Others were Sarah Moore (13th), Caitlin Brown (20th), Emily Cottingham (28th) and Ally Tekulve (34th). Dixie Heights senior Ryan Smith finished second in the 3A boys’ regional to qualify for state. Covington Catholic claimed its second-straight regional title in Class 2A. Seniors Kevin Crush and Stephen Schwab finished 34 to lead the way. Matthew Smith finished ninth to medal individually. Other Colonels were Paul Cusick (13th), James Simms (22nd), Khang Le (23rd) and Brayden Schlagbaum (32nd). In 1A, the Villa Madonna boys’ team finished third to qualify.

Veterans are an important resource for our future Sen. Damon Thayer Community Recorder guest columnist
Kentucky is home to nearly 350,000 veterans who fought in every war from World War II and beyond, and we owe them all a great debt of gratitude. Many of them signed up willingly, while others were drafted during a time of great national conflict. Some knew from an early age they wanted to join the military; others compared it to alternative career choices and decided the military was the best option. Some served during peacetime and were never forced to leave our shores, while thousands saw the most trying of circumstances, lost their compatriots in battle, and visited places many of us can’t imagine. Regardless of the circumstances, however, they all deserve our respect, admiration, and thanks. We honor our heroes each year on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, but all too often we only take time to remember their sacrifices on major holidays and don’t think about all the freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis thanks to their efforts. Furthermore, we tend to think of these men and women as a single group, “veterans,” without considering the very different experiences they had during their time in uniform. Taking Utah Beach in Normandy on D-Day was much different than storming Omaha Beach. Both were vastly different than the island-hopping required of our troops in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The trench warfare in Korea, the silent jungle expeditions in Vietnam, the desert heat and door-to-door searches in the Global War on Terror — every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine can tell a different story of his or her service, their individual contribution to America’s freedom and securi-
ty. No two veterans are the same, and it’s worth our time to talk to them and learn what they did to protect us. The Library Sen. Damon of Congress, Thayer along with the e n t u c k y Community K Department of Recorder Libraries and guest Archives, are columnist focusing their efforts on an oral history project, collecting these stories from veterans across the nation, so that future generations can understand why things happened the way they happened. This is our opportunity to help preserve the legacies of the men and women who fought and died to keep us safe. The Library of Congress has a list of sample questions at www.loc.gov/ vets/questions.html, which you can use to help explore the lives of the veterans in our community. When you’ve recorded your interview with a veteran you know — or a veteran you’ve gotten to know — just contact KDLA or the Library of Congress, and they’ll work to archive your work and make sure children, scholars, and genealogists of the future understand these heroes’ stories. We’re losing our veterans at a rapid pace, and they are a true great resource of wisdom and knowledge. We cannot afford to let their memories slip through our grasp. They saved our country’s past, and this is an opportunity for us to help save its future. Senator Thayer represents the 17th Senate District, which includes Grant, Owen, and Scott Counties and part of Kenton County.

Book discussion groups expand reading horizons As a librarian at the Kenton County Public Library, one of my favorite responsibilities is leading book discussion groups. I am currently in charge of two groups at the Erlanger Branch: The PageTurners, which reads both fiction and non-fiction, and The Movie Makers, where we discuss a book that's been made into a film and then watch and compare a short clip from the movie. I love talking about the books and hearing everyone's opinions and reactions. I recently asked the participants in one of my book groups what interested them in joining, and what keeps them coming back? To my delight, I received some really great responses. Everyone agrees that being involved in book discussions has broadened their reading horizons. While we all have our personal interests (mysteries, biographies, etc.), it's fun to mix it up and try something different, something you might not normally pick up on your own. Because we are of varying ages and backgrounds, each of us has a unique viewpoint and we bring our own personal perspectives to the discussions. And while we often agree on things, differing opinions are welcome -
after all, what's a discussion without a little spice? How nice to be able to talk in a non-judgmental and comfortable atmosphere! Leigh Mauer Enthusiasm Community and participaRecorder tion in talking reading guest about experiences crecolumnist ates a real feeling of belonging. It's wonderful to see friendships formed and the sense of community that's established among my group members. Several folks also voiced the opinion that “it's a great thing to do when you're retired” because it is so social in nature. As we talk about the book of the month, we always end up referring to other books we enjoyed - I promise you will end up with some fabulous recommendations, just like I have! I really feel it's a wonderful way to expand your education too, but no worrying about grades. Hurrah! We have four outstanding regular book discussion groups here at Erlanger. The Bookies meet at 7
p.m. on the first Wednesday of the month; The Protagonists get together at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month; and The Page-Turners convene at 2 p.m. on the third Thursday. Our 2010 schedule has been finalized, and our reading group choices include “The Guernsey Literary” and “Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows; “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson; “All the Living” by C.E. Morgan; “Rocket Boys” by Homer Hickam, as well as many other popular and engaging books. Our fourth group, The Movie Makers, meets at 10 a.m. on the second Wednesday of the month. We'll be talking about and looking at “About a Boy” by Nick Hornby, “All the King's Men” by Robert Penn Warren, “The Princess Bride” by William Goldman, and nine additional enticing titles. There are also book groups at our Covington and Independence branches. Look for Adult Book Discussion brochures at the library, or check out the KCPL website, for complete lists of our 2010 discussion titles. New members are always welcome! Join us!

Calling all germs
Dr. Mike Scola, a biology professor at NKU, collects germs from the mouth of second grade St. Augustine School student John Paul Russell during his lesson to teach the students about germs. He collected germ samples from different places in the classroom and he will grow them in a petri dish. The students are excited to find out where the germiest place is.
Strong fathers a great program
The evidence is clear that a strong father figure can make all the difference in the development of children, especially with boys. When you look at the data on this issue, it is so convincing and depressing that it’s amazing that as a society we have not done more to encourage strong father figures. All the millions of dollars the federal, state and local governments spend on social problems could be saved if we as a society were successful in making this issue a priority. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending programs at Burlington Elementary and A.M. Yealey Elementary, appropriately called “Strong Fathers, Strong Families.” To the credit of our Boone County school system this free program was offered in many of our ele-
m e n t a r y schools’ Family Resource Centers to encourage “Strong Fathers, Strong Families.” No Child Left Behind SuperviState Sen. sor Dr. Anna Tracy John Marie Schickel shared with me that the district Community recognizes the Recorder importance of guest p a r e n t a l columnist i n v o l v e m e n t and the relationship it has on academic performance. It was a joy to see literally hundreds of Boone County fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles and even big
brothers and others stepping up to the plate to fulfill the role of “Strong Fathers, Strong Families.” The program was an excellent mix of validation and encouragement for fathers and sons alike. We are fortunate that our community has a school system that recognizes and promotes the development of one of our most valued resources: strong fathers. As your state senator, I saw firsthand the value of our Family Resource Centers and will continue making them a priority as we work to provide the best possible future for our children. Sen. John Schickel represents Kentucky’s 11th Senate District in Boone, Gallatin and Kenton counties. He can be contacted by calling the General Assembly’s toll-free message line at (800) 372-7181.

En Vogue Salon & Boutique owner Cynthia Boyle Tilton models a dichroic glass necklace in her shop in Crescent Springs Wednesday Nov. 4. Cynthia and her husband create dichroic glass jewelry themselves and sell them in the boutique along with wares by other local artisans.
Get chic at En Vogue By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
En Vogue Salon & Boutique in Crescent Springs hopes to keep women looking “of the moment” with a full service hair salon and boutique featuring works by local artists. “They leave happy and feel better about themselves. We make each person look better and a lot of ladies shopping in the boutique know they’re helping out area artists,” said owner and color specialist Cynthia Boyle Tilton. En Vogue Salon & Boutique, located at 578 Buttermilk Pike, is open Tuesday through Saturday with flexible hours, so Cynthia recommends calling 360-1233 for an appointment. However, walk-ins are also welcome. The boutique portion of En Vogue carries paintings, embroidered bags, jewelry, crafts and more by local artists, most of them women, Cynthia said, adding she’s glad to provide a venue for artists who may not otherwise get their crafts out to the public. Along with her husband, Cynthia also creates dichroic glass jewelry. Colors in dichroic glass change according to lighting or background or even the
angle you’re looking at it, she said. Every pieces comes out different after being fired in the kiln, if even you don’t want it to. “There’s no one else who can have the same piece because the consistency changes and the color changes each time,” she said. “I get an extreme amount of compliments on the jewelry I wear just because it’s unique and it changes color in the sun and against any skin tone.” Women’s hair cuts start at $30 and men’s at $20. Prices in the boutique range from about $14 to $500, so there’s something for everybody, Cynthia said. “We want people to have something nice and unique that doesn’t break the bank,” she said. As a special for the holidays, En Vogue Salon & Boutique is offering a chance for shoppers to win a pendant worth over $250 if they make a $15 purchase in the store form now until Dec. 23. The winner will be announced Dec. 24. “Hair is a creative outlet for me,” Cynthia said. “I like to get to know people. My clients have become my friends and they’ve stuck by me after all these years. Now they’re bringing their grandkids to me.”

Villa Madonna first-grader Caleb Sanders leads his classmates in sorting some of the Halloween candy they plan to donate to area shelters this year. The two firstgrade classes at VMA have both been very active in service work and trying to help out their community.
VMA first-graders already in the mood for giving
By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
For many first-graders, there are few things more important in life than candy and playtime. For the firstgraders at Villa Madonna Academy however, they’ve got some other priorities. Both first-grade classes at the school, with help from teachers Theresa Spaulding-Horn and Rosie Heideman, are participating in some food drives to help out the less fortunate residents of the Greater Cincinnati area. The kids in Spaulding-Horn’s class are donating portions of their Halloween candy to shelters in Cincinnati, while others in Heideman’s class have organized a canned food drive in connection the Wal-Mart in Fort Wright. “To have first-graders thinking about giving back is something that makes me very proud,” said Principal Soshana Bosley. “That’s the attitude we want all of our kids to have.” The canned food drive was born on the VMA playground one day in late October, when twins Sophie and Reese
Holtzman were talking with their classmates and thinking of ways they could help people out. With a little help from their teacher and parents, they were soon able to arrange a deal with Wal-Mart, standing outside for a few hours in early November to collect donations from customers. “I was at a program this summer where we had to donate canned goods, and it made me think that this was a good way to help out,” explained Sophie a few days before the drive. “I hope we’re able to get a lot, because that would mean we can help a lot of people out.” But they’re not the only ones looking to make a difference this holiday season. The theme of helping out the less fortunate is also found just down the hall in Spaulding-Horn’s room, where the kids have been sorting their Halloween candy to distribute to a few shelters and charities in the area. “We normally try to collect enough to give to around 100-150 people, but that number has gone up this year,” explained Spaulding-Horn. “But with
the economy, there’s more people in need, so we’re just trying to do as much as we can to make an impact.” And the kids weren’t just giving away their leftovers. All of the kids were encouraged to include some of their favorite candy they collected this year, as they learned the true meaning of giving. “It wasn’t hard, because it’s for people who don’t have very much,” said first-grader Caleb Sanders, as he sorted through a bag filled with miniature candy bars, suckers, gum and Tootsie Rolls. “It makes you feel good to help people out.” Amy Holtzman, the twins’ mother who has been helping to organize the food drive, said she was incredibly proud of all of the kids for giving their time and effort to help out people in need. “It’s fantastic to see kids this age thinking about helping others,” she said. Bosley agreed. “It’s really neat that they’re able to do this,” she said. “This is the perfect season to give back, and they’re doing a great job of doing just that.”

Coordinator of teen shelter like mother to kids When runaway, homeless and troubled teens feel like they have no place to go, Homeward Bound Shelter Coordinator Kate Arthur is there for them. At the shelter, located in Covington, Arthur works to recognize each individual teen’s needs and does whatever she has to do to get their life on track, said Connie Frecing, the youth service department director for Brighton Center, the agency that runs the shelter. “Kate does whatever it takes to get the job done and goes over and beyond what is asked of her,” Frecing said. “She is a huge advocate for youth and her connection to these kids is just unbelievable.” Bear Clifton, development director for the center, said Kate is like a mom to the teens, who in many cases have nobody they can depend on. Kate, who has been with the
Brighton Center in various positions for five years, said she has a natural feeling to want to help others. “I absolutely love my job and working with the teens,” Kate said. “I have a great staff and we work very hard at making the shelter a home environment.” Kate, a Villa Hills resident, has won various awards for her work, most recently the Brighton Center’s 2009 Super Nova Award. Kate said the administration at the Brighton Center pushes employees to do everything they can to help others and that helps to continually make the agency’s programs better. Currently, Arthur is working to expand the shelter’s program that assists 17 and 18 year olds prepare for living on their own. “We are trying to teach them how to be adults and take care of themselves,” Kate said. “These kids really

Hear what some of your friends think of you innate common sense. Prudence is the intellectual ability to choose the right means toward a worthy end. Father Lou howYouoftenknow we Guntzelman struggle with Perspectives puzzling questions of how to spend our money, where to direct our time, how to handle the competing demands of our lives, how to settle differences, etc. A student may wrestle with dilemmas such as, “I think it would be more responsible to stay home and study for the test and not to go to the movies; yet, I’ve been working hard, maybe I deserve a break or find time to do both.” A judgment is called for. A
prudent judgment. Situations crying for a prudent decision seem endless in life: how to break bad news gently; whether to punish a fault or let it go this time; how much to become further involved in a risky or flirtatious relationship; what legislation to vote for in an election that will best promote the common good, etc.? All such matters, great and small, are governed by prudence. We become a prudent and wise person not in making one prudent decision. Prudence is the acquired habit of always, or nearly always, choosing the right means to achieve morally good ends. At times it can be agonizing and demand much of us. Former Yale chaplain William Sloane Coffin said, “The first of the four cardinal virtues of the Roman
to a host of things. “It was treatment for a sanitizer to control germs, bacteria and feces, and a product to control mold, mildew and fungus,” she said. That, plus a whole lot more, came to $1,000. After the serviceman left, friends and other companies she contacted all raised questions about the air duct cleaning – including whether she really had mold as the serviceman claimed. So, she called and requested a refund, but it was denied. “They said because they had already done the treatment they put it through,” said Smith. I showed Smith the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommendation about duct cleaning. It said duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. “I really wish I would have read this beforehand,” Smith told me. The EPA said much of the
essary. Thomas Aquinas claimed that the central moral virtue was prudence. While love is the underlying motive for moral action, the essence of moral judgment itself is the astute and wise judgment we exercise by sifting through all the alternatives presented by the concrete world. And since the alternatives are often so complex, wise judgment is itself a skill and constitutes the virtue called prudence. So, if you hear some friends have called you the most prudent person they know, smile, don’t frown. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

SECRETS OF EGYPT
Don’t let air duct cleaners clean you out A local woman says she now regrets ever responding to an ad for air duct cleaning. Although the price in the ad sounded good, she says she had no idea what she was getting herself into. What happened to her should be a cautionary tale for everyone. Nicole Smith of Fort Thomas says she now realizes she should have double-checked before agreeing to more and more duct cleaning after responding to an ad. “It said they would clean 14 vents and one return for $49.95. I was like, ‘They’re not that dirty, just kind of sweep it through and get it out of there,’ ” she said. Smith said when the serviceman arrived things were different. “He even refused to clean the ducts because he said they had to have something done. He wouldn’t do it, he said he had to treat it first,” she said. Smith ended up agreeing
Catholic Church is ‘prudentia,’ which basically means damn good thinking. Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.” Yes, prudence takes damn good thinking – not merely egotistically deciding what fits my agenda. If we develop prudence, it usually comes from the widest possible observation and experience of human behavior, understanding what constitutes psychological health, and a conscientious awareness of the general moral principles with which God has imbued mankind. Prudence has little correlation with book learning. Some people seem to develop it more readily, some otherwise intelligent persons appear slow to catch on, and geniuses may be totally deficient. Making prudent choices is often laborious, yet the complexities of life make it ever more nec-

So, it said, cleaning should be considered for only severe cases of mold, dust and debris. The EPA also said, “Pollutants that enter the home both from outdoors and indoor activities such as cooking, cleaning, smoking or just moving around can cause greater exposure to contaminants than dirty air ducts.” I contacted the company Smith had hired, explained how it failed to give her three days in which to cancel, as required by law, and the company has now given Smith all her money back.

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

An easy beef stir fry, a colorful Jell-O dessert Whenever I’m out and about, someone will come up and mention the column. It keeps me aware of what you want. A few weeks ago I got an unusual request for e a s y , Rita healthy Heikenfeld meals. Rita’s kitchen N o w that part of the request is not unusual, but the fellow who asked is a bit unusual in that he has some ties to a pretty important “person.” Father Rob Waller, pastor at St. Andrew’s in Milford, needed healthier recipes “a bachelor like me could make.” I sent him some and I’m thinking that my little favor might result in Father Rob putting in a good word for me with the “right people.” If you have easy recipes for folks like Father Rob, please share.
Rita’s easy stir-fry beef with green onions and tomatoes
If you want, add a handful of snow peas or bean sprouts with tomatoes and onions. 1 pound or less flank steak, thinly sliced across grain 1 ⁄4 cup or more to taste, soy sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 tomatoes cut into wedges (if they’re big, use 2) 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin Canola or peanut oil Hot cooked rice More soy if desired Combine beef, soy and cornstarch. Marinate anywhere from five minutes to a day. Film bottom of large skillet with oil. Stir fry beef in batches, adding oil as needed. Place back into skillet and add tomatoes and onions. Cook until hot. Add more soy if desired. Serve over rice.
Velma Papenhaus’ three-layer holiday paradise Jell-O loaf
Funny how far a friendship can take you. Dick Herrick, a Mason reader, and I have been friends since we met at Alvey Ferguson, a conveyor company in Oakley, eons ago. I was a bilingual secretary and Dick was an interning college student. Dick’s former neighbors, the Papenhauses, have been close friends of his family for many years. That friendship and this column led Velma to me with her favorite Jell-O recipe . “Red on bottom, white in middle and green on top. Very colorful for holidays,” she said. I think Velma should invite Dick and me over to enjoy a big plateful! Velma uses a Pyrex dish, about 11-by-8.
First layer:
1 pkg. cherry Jell-O, 4 serving size 13⁄4 cups very hot water 1 cup chopped apple
Mix Jell-O and water until Jell-O dissolves, stir in apple, and pour in casserole. Let gel before pouring on layer No. 2.
Second layer:
1 pkg. lemon Jell-O, 4 serving size 6 oz. cream cheese, softened 13⁄4 cups pineapple juice and water (pineapple juice comes from pineapple used in layer No. 3. Pour juice into measuring cup and fill with water to make 13⁄4 cups. Heat until very hot). 1 cup chopped nuts Mix Jell-O, cream cheese and juice/water until Jell-O dissolves and cream cheese is smooth. Put in refrigerator to gel just enough so nuts can be mixed in easily. Pour onto first layer. Let gel before pouring on layer No. 3.
Third layer:
1 pkg. lime Jell-O, 4 serving size 13⁄4 cups very hot water 1 can, approximately 20 oz., crushed pineapple,
drained (save juice for layer No. 2) Mix Jell-O and water until Jell-O dissolves. Put in fridge to gel just enough so pineapple can be mixed in easily. Pour onto second layer.
