As Julie Bosley and her family were preparing for their second Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk in late September, she was stunned to see a line of familiar cars pass by her, each with messages written on their windows about her son, Ethan. Turns out, her family was going to be a little larger that day. Close to 60 members of the Erlanger Lions sports program, including football players, cheerleaders and parents, turned out to participate in the annual walk, which is held in Newport and raises money for diabetes research. The arrival of the group came as a shock to Julie, who said she had no idea they were planning to come and support Ethan, who was diagnosed with Type I diabetes two years ago. “They organized this whole thing and I never suspected it for a moment,” she said. “But when they pulled up and all jumped out of their cars, it was overwhelming for me. To have that kind of support for Ethan was just so special to our family.” Julie and her husband Danny, members of the Erlanger Lions since they were kids, now have two daughters on the Lions cheerleading team, with Julie serving as one of the coaches. Between practices, games and competitions, they spend a good deal of time around the Erlanger Lions programs, giving Ethan, now 4, a wide range of support in the community. “Since he’s up here so much, it’s almost like a giant family for him,” said Danny. “He loves being around the other kids and they all kind of look after him and play with him - it’s great.” When he was diagnosed two

Ethan’s diet now has to be carefully monitored and he’s required to take an insulin shot each time he eats, although he may soon get an insulin pump that would eliminate the need for shots. But beyond the shots, Ethan spends his time like any average 4-year-old...playing as much as possible with anyone he can find. “He cannot get enough of baseball - he is always wanting to play catch,” said Danny, laughing. “With him, it is all baseball, all the time.” And although he’s often found with a smile on his face, Julie said she’ll never forget the look in Ethan’s eyes when he saw his friends arrive to join him on the walk.

Ethan Bosley, 4, prepares to catch a ball while playing with his father at the Erlanger Lions Park on Sept. 28. Because of his family ties to the Erlanger Lions, Ethan spends many nights at the park playing with his parents and the other kids. “He knew they were there for him, and he was as excited as I have ever seen him,” said Julie. “It was just such a good feeling, and we’re so grateful to have friends
like we do. It shows what this community is all about.” For more information about the JDRF’s local chapter, visit www.jdrf.org/cincinnati.

Test results
jbrubaker@nky.com
The Erlanger-Elsmere School District met 13 out of their 16 targeted No Child Left Behind goals, and saw increases in math, social studies and writing in their state tests, according to results released on Sept. 23. Superintendent Kathy Burkhardt said that while the district is fairly pleased with most of the news, it is continuing to challenge teachers and administrators to push even harder to keep improving. “Our biggest goal is making sure that each student is moving forward, and that’s what we’ll continue doing,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of positive news out of these results, but we know we can always look to get better.” The state had scrapped the
Following are some of the results of the Kentucky Core Content Tests and the No Child Left Behind program results released on Sept. 23. • All four elementary schools met all of their NCLB goals, which are broken down into student subgroups within the school. • Tichenor Middle School met 9 of their 13 target goals, falling short in their reading goals for all students, students on free/reduced lunch and Commonwealth Accountability Testing System (CATS) this March, so the tests results were from an interim testing system that will be used until the new accountability system is fully developed for the 2011-12 school year. As a result of the CATS testing being scrapped, Burkhardt said
students with disabilities, as well as math for students with disabilities. • Lloyd High School met 10 out of 12 target goals, falling short in reading and math for students with disabilities. • The percentage of juniors at Lloyd meeting the ACT benchmarks in reading, English and math increased. • The percentage of students scoring proficient and distinguished in math increased at the elementary, middle and high school level. the results did not include testing in Arts & Humanities, Practical Living or the Writing Portfolio. However, she said the students will continue to learn those subjects and will be assessed at the school level. “We’re definitely still working on those areas, because they bring a lot of value to the students,” she

said. “It’s just a situation where the state won’t be assessing them on it.” Assistant Superintendent David Palmore said the test results revealed few surprises for the district, which uses Measures of Academic Progress (MAPS) tests throughout the year to gauge student performance and learning. “By doing the MAPS a few times each year, we’re able to get a good read on where we’re doing well and where we might need work,” he explained. “So we’ve already had a pretty good idea of those things before (the state results) were even released.” Burkhardt agreed. “I think we know where we want to be and we’re working hard to get there,” she said.

The Kenton County School District met 17 out of 19 of No Child Left Behind goals for the 2008-2009 school year. The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into federal law in 2002 and is designed to close the gap in math and reading between disadvantaged, disabled and minority students and their peers. The district did not made adequate progress in the areas of math and reading among students with a disability, according to NCLB standards. While the Kenton County School District achieved 89.5 percent of NCLB goals set, if even one school does not make one NCLB target, the district has not satisfied NCLB requirements. For that reason, Assistant Superintendent Barb Martin does not think the NCLB results are indicative
of the quality of education in Kenton County. “Schools are knocking the socks off of state assessments. We know kids are learning,” she said, citing the biggest jump in NCLB scores at River Ridge Elementary School. Since last year, student proficiency in reading at River Ridge increased 26.65 percent within the subpopulation of students with a disability while the same group increased proficiency 10.5 percent in math. Across the district, there was a 1.65 percent increase in reading in elementary schools. “We’ve got to teach every kid and make every kid a success. We will continue to have that as our focus,” Martin said. Eight elementary schools and Turkey Foot Middle School made 100 percent of their NCLB goals. The remaining elementary schools (Beechgrove, Kenton and Ryland Heights) only missed one target each. Summit View Middle School and Twenhofel Middle School missed two and three respectively. Dixie Heights High School missed two targets
out of 13 while Scott and Simon Kenton high schools missed three NCLB targets. Districts that do not make their NCLB goals face federal consequences. This is the fifth year the district has not fulfilled all of its NCLB targets. District administrators will work with an assist team from the Kentucky Department of Education to improve its NCLB scores. On the school level, administrators use scores to break out students and teachers in remediation groups at the big group, small group and one-on-one level, according to need, said Deputy Superintendent Terri Cox Cruey, all in an effort to fulfill the district’s No. 1 goal of every student performing at or above grade level in numeracy and literacy. “We feel like we are on the right track for the kinds of interventions that are beneficial to students and that are really showing us what will have an impact on their learning, but it takes time,” Cox Cruey said. For more information on the No Child Left Behind results, visit education.ky.gov.
Event promotes health, fun By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
It’s safe to say Crescent Avenue in Erlanger will have a different look on Oct. 11. That’s because that day, the cars and trucks will be replaced by bicycles, roller blades, and even strollers, as the Kenton County Cooperative Extension Service rolls out their second annual Second Sunday event. Designed to promote health and wellness, the event will close down the road from 24 p.m. to allow for people to get active and enjoy the outdoors in a safe environment. “It’s just a fun afternoon where people can get out and get some exercise,” said Kenton County extension agent Kathy Byrnes. “We had fun last year, and we think it’s going to be even bigger this time.” The Second Sunday idea, which originated in Bogota, Columbia, has become a state-wide effort, as 70 counties participated last year by closing a road and allowing people to bike, run and walk in a safe manner. This year, Byrnes said over 100 counties have signed on, showing the importance of local governments and
businesses in promoting health and wellness. Byrnes said the extension agency is partnering with the city of Erlanger, the Erlanger Branch of the Kenton County Public Library and the Northern Kentucky Health Department for the event. The library has offered use of their parking lot as the “home base” for the event, while the health department will also be kicking off their annual “Walk and Roll Challenge” that day. In addition to the outdoor activities taking place on the street, Byrnes said there will also be some exercise demonstrations in the library, as well as various booths, giveaways and refreshments. There will also be a variety of games on hand for the family, including cornhole and disc golf. “There’s a little something there for everyone, no matter their age or fitness level,” explained Byrnes. The event is free to attend, and no registration is required. Parking will be available at the library. For more information, visit www.kentoncountyextension.org or www.nkyhealth.org.

Turkey Foot name, mascot debated By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
0000360069
Twenty-one parents, students, teachers and community members spoke out at the Turkey Foot Middle School public forum Thursday Sept. 24. The forum allowed peo-
ple the opportunity to voice their opinion on whether or not the middle school’s name and/or mascot “Indians” should be changed before the new school is opened in fall 2010. Of the 21 community members who spoke, more than two-thirds were
against changing either the name or the mascot. The rest were for changing the mascot and two speakers were in favor of changing both. Speakers who researched said the “Turkeyfoot” name was inspired by its original purpose as a road once used by southern Kenton County farmers to take their turkeys to market. “I think we should respect the history and tradition that comes along with the school throughout time,” said parent Brad Hanna. “Just because the kids are moving into a state-of-the-art facility doesn’t mean we should disregard the past.” Teacher Carol Caudill, an alumni and 12-year educator at the school, was opposed to both changes. “I don’t believe that by taking away the Indian you are educating your children about Native American cul-

ture. Going into a new school building we can educate them more about Native American culture and their tribes,” she said. Parent Diana Long said the school’s mascot is “insulting” and “inaccurate.” “Opening this new school is an opportunity and a gift to teach our children respect and it’s an opportunity to demonstrate the integrity and the respect we want our children to come out of here with,” she said. Community member Guy W. Jones introduced himself as waku wa la, a descendent of the Lakota tribe, and said the mascot “Indian” is offensive to him. “The terminology used within the society is in fact detrimental,” he said. “So when we begin to think about these terms you need to think outside of the box. And yes, that head dress is offensive because it is not culturally nor historically correct to this part of the Americas. It is offensive – it is part of a destructive cultural genocide,” he said. Students also made their views heard at the forum.

A public forum was held Sept. 24 to allow the community to speak on whether or not the school's name and/or mascot should be changed when the new school opens in fall 2010. The issue was brought forward when some parents and faculty found the mascot offensive. This is the current mascot. An earlier mascot in the gym, where the meeting was held, depicts an American Indian in profile wearing a head dress. Seventh grader Spencer Peace was against the changes. “I have Native American blood in me and I am personally not offended by the Turkey Foot Indians,” he said. “I see an Indian as being a strong, leading figure.” Student Andres Gasper felt the mascot should be changed. “We need to create an image we are proud of. How can anyone be proud of something so degrading to a group of people?” he asked. The mascot is a “TF”
All comments of speakers at the public forum were recorded and will be used by the Turkey Foot Middle School committee in their decisionmaking process on whether or not the school’s name and/or mascot should be changed, said Vice Principal Deb Obermeyer. A survey has been posted on the school’s Web site to allow community members not in attendance to voice their opinion. Visit www.tfms.kenton.k12.ky.us to take the survey. inside a circle decorated with feathers. An older mascot in the gym, where the meeting was held, depicts an American Indian in profile wearing a chief’s head dress. Middle school grades are also divided into teams given the names of American Indian tribes. The meeting was an informational opportunity for the committee gathering data and eventually making a decision on the issue, which it will then present to the school’s site-based council. The committee is made up of students, parents, teachers and board members.

Erlanger Baptist, Lindeman partner for tutoring program By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
When John Parker started seeking out volunteers at Erlanger Baptist for a new tutoring program, the response was overwhelming. “Right now, we have about 16 kids and close to 40 tutors,” he said with a laugh. “But I wasn’t surprised at all, because this is exactly the kind of program we love to get involved in.” Parker and Lindeman Elementary Mike Shires have been the driving force behind the new “Whiz Kids” tutoring program, a weekly gathering where students
can meet with the volunteers to receive extra help with their school work. All of the tutors have completed a certification course, but as Parker, says, it’s about more than just helping the kids with their homework. “We want the tutors to build relationships with the kids,” he explained. “We want there to be a personal touch with this program that lets the kids know that we care about them, and give them a role model to look up to.” The program began on Sept. 23, when students were paired up with their tutors through a simple game.

The students then drew a slip of paper out of a bowl, and tried to locate the corresponding tutor. “Have you been to all 50 states?” asked second-grader Jonathan Kidd, holding his slip of paper. “Nope - that one’s not me,” said tutor Derek Coleman, smiling. “Well is ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ your favorite book?” asked classmate Eric Kuhl, running up to join the conversation. “There you go - that’s mine!” exclaimed Coleman. “Looks like it will be me and you then, buddy.” Once paired up, the students and tutors set to work on designing a decorative bag to store their supplies each week. The tutors also used the time to get to know their students’ interests and hobbies. “I just feel like this is a great
way to reach out and have an impact on the community,” said tutor Tracy Wessel. “It’s as much about building a relationship as it is learning, and that’s what really got me in.” The program will continue during the entire school year, as the students will meet every Wednesday evening at Erlanger Baptist, with tutors even providing transportation for the students who need it. After a quick meal, the tutors and students will get to work on that day’s activities. “I think it’s a great program,” said Shires. “It will really benefit our kids, and we’re just so grateful that we’re able to get this going.” For more information about the Whiz Kids program, contact Lindeman Elementary at 727-1188 or Erlanger Baptist Church at 7272588.

By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com
The Covington Catholic Colonels head into a welldeserved bye week with the most momentum they have had at any point this season. The Colonels posted their third straight win Saturday, Sept. 26, and do not play again until Oct. 10 against Scott. CovCath bested Newport Central Catholic 28-14 to even their record at 3-3 on the season. The Colonels have gained confidence each week after starting the season 0-3. “The kids have worked pretty hard, kept their focus, and handled adversity well,” Cov Cath head coach Dave Wirth said. The Colonels overcame adversity to defeat the Thoroughbreds, playing without three offensive starters and f a l l i n g behind 7-0 early in the game. N e w C a t h blocked a punt to set up the game’s first score, a 14-yard pass from Brady Hightchew to Nick Woltermann. The ’Breds game plan was to control the ball and limit the Colonels’ time of possession. That put pressure on CovCath to make the most of its time on offense. “We did a good job taking advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves,” Wirth said. After the New Cath touchdown, the Colonels responded with 28 unanswered points. The scoring started with a 82-yard drive capped by Brayden Erpenbeck’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Michael Best. On their next possession, Erpenbeck rushed for a 7yard score to give CovCath the lead late in the second quarter. Nick Martin preserved the Colonels lead by intercepting a Hightchew pass

Leo Schaefer took over in the third quarter, set up by another big stop by the C o v C a t h defense. Troy Timm e r m a n intercepted Hightchew at the CovCath 15-yard line on the ’Breds first drive of the second half. Schaefer wasted no time, rushing for an 85-yard touchdown on the Colonels’ first play following the interception. Schaefer finished with 131 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 10 carries. Erpenbeck added 95 yards on 17 carries to go with 77 yards passing. The Colonels rushed for 271 yards with an impressive 7.1 yards per carry average. “As a staff, we’ve been figuring out our talent and how to use it,” Wirth said. “We are figuring out who can do what. We hope to have it all figured out by the playoffs and to be a pretty tough matchup for anybody we face.” Hightchew added a fourth quarter touchdown run for New Cath. The quarterback finished with 135
yards passing and 108 yards rushing. New Cath plays at Newport on Friday, Oct. 2. With the bye week, Wirth plans on giving his team one or two days off and getting the team together for a community service project one day. Then the Colonels will get back to work preparing to host Scott on Saturday, Oct. 10. CovCath hopes to continue to build momentum heading into the postseason. “We need to improve our
The Juggernauts overcame a 14-0 first-half deficit and held on for the comefrom-behind win. Lloyd improved to 3-2 on the season. Seth Chappie rushed 22 times for 87 yards and a touchdown. Two big pass plays keyed the win for the Juggernauts. Quarterback Dylan McGuire connected with his brother Mark for a 51-yard scoring strike to cut the Montgomery County (2-3) lead to 14-12 at halftime. In the third quarter, McGuire put the Juggernauts on top for good with a 65-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Gregory.
Dixie Heights 44, Scott, 0
The Colonels (3-3) snapped a three-game losing streak with a dominating win over the Eagles (14). Senior quarterback Ryan
Wilson led the way, passing for three touchdowns with zero interceptions. He finished with 273 yards on 20-29 passing. Dixie has a big test on Oct. 2, when the Colonels travel to face topranked Highlands at 7 p.m. Scott travels to Lloyd on Friday night and will need to improve a defense that has allowed an average of 38 points per game.

Against Bishop Ready, the Indians collected two TD passes from Jerry Arlinghaus, one to Jordan Norris, the other to Mike Herald. Arlinghaus threw for 137 yards. Markel Walker threw for 63 and rushed for 54. Paul Rafizadeh had an interception for the Indians.

Elisha Overpeck, a senior from Lloyd Memorial High School, competes in the 5K race at the Mason Cross Country Invitational Sept. 12. She came in third.
The cross country teams at Lloyd Memorial High School have individual standouts, but their main priority this fall has been developing depth. “We’ve had a good start to the season so far In the girls’ team, we’re struggling to find a consistent fifth runner,” Lloyd head coach Erin Pifer said. “The boys’ goal is to make it to state. Hopefully they’ll pull that No. 4 spot or better and I’ll have two teams at state.” The girls’ team was state runner-up in Class 2A last fall after winning the regional championship. Seniors Courtney Siefert and Elisha Overpeck have been veteran standouts. Siefert is looking to defend her individual regional title from last year. Both seniors finished top 10 individually at the state meet last year. “The front runners are important but if you don’t have the back runners to
pick up the pack, you don’t really have a team,” Overpeck said. “We’re doing pretty good. We want to (win region) again. We have to leave it all on the course, not hold anything back.” Siefert won a meet in Mason, Ohio, this season. Overpeck won the Holmes meet Aug. 29. “Elisha keeps on dropping times by the race,” Pifer said. “She very seldom has a bad race. She is a tough competitor and a quiet leader. She leads by example.” The team overall was third at Mason and fifth at the Covington Catholic meet behind Notre Dame and three Cincinnati Catholic powers. Sisters Torey and Sarah Duncan have been the third and fourth runners. On the boys’ team, Joey Landrum is looking for individual gold after finishing sixth at state last year. He has won two meets so far this fall and is coming

Last week’s question
What new or returning fall TV show are you most looking forward to watching? Why? “‘Mad Men.’ Currently it’s the best scripted show on TV. The rest is trash or empty-headed fluff!” Duke “‘24.’ This is the only TV show that gets my adrenaline flowing.” G.G. “‘24.’ I think it’s a great show!” K.P.
“There is very little on TV that is worth my time. There is so much violence in real life I don’t want more in my home. However, I do enjoy ‘Law & Order’ and reality shows such as ‘Survivor,’
Next question: Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ ‘America’s Got Talent.’ If they would bring back to TV shows and programs with more comedy, substance and less violence I’d be glued to the TV. Fortunately, there are no children at home any more because all the TV’s would have locks on them.” N.C., Florence “Who cares, all pretty bad shows. Have not watched main TV stations since ‘ER’ left the TV. Oh those commercials.” M.G.
Air pollution a growing concern Since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1963, the nation’s air has become remarkably cleaner, the Greater Cincinnati area included. The number of smog alerts in the area has dropped drastically in the past 10 years from 27 days in 1999 to only three days thus far in 2009. And harmful chemicals like smog and soot are less pervasive throughout the whole country. However, scientific research has revealed even minimal exposure to air pollution can be dangerous. The increased effects of global warming and inefficient use of energy continue to generate less than ideal air quality, especially here in the Tristate. The Air Quality Management Division of the Hamilton County Environmental Services said that smog, once considered only a problem during the summer, could become a problem during winter months due to tightening air control standards. “While we have made great progress in reducing air pollution in the Tristate, it is crucial we continue the effort,” said Steve Pendery, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) Board President and Campbell County Judge Executive. “Air pollution is still a serious problem in the Tri-State and ignoring this issue puts everyone at risk for various health problems – right now and in the future.” A July study by the American Lung Association ranked Greater Cincinnati in the 25 worst U.S. cities for air pollution based on levels of ozone (a.k.a. smog) and fine particulates (a.k.a soot). While there are several forms of air pollution, these two prove to be two of the most dangerous. Both ozone and particulate pol-
lution are serious health concerns, causing irritation to the throat, nose, eyes and lungs as well as decreasing the working Emily lungs’ capacity. The Feldman study also noted Community that air pollution lead to longRecorder can term health guest problems such columnist as lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. “Air pollution continues to be a widespread and dangerous problem,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “But the problem can’t be solved solely by cleaning up the big industries. It’s a problem that must be tackled by each individual as well.” OKI leads the fight against air pollution in the Tristate with its “Do Your Share for Cleaner Air” campaign. It suggests many tips for reducing air pollution including small changes that everyone can make to his or her daily routine. These changes include carpooling, riding the bus, cutting back on vehicle trips, conserving electricity, walking instead of driving, refueling after 8 p.m. and using gas-powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m. More tips on how to reduce air pollution and information about Greater Cincinnati’s “Do Your Share for Cleaner Air” campaign can be found at www.DoYourShare.org or by calling 1-800621-SMOG.

In a Dark, Dark Wood there was a Dark, Dark House
...and in that dark, dark house, there was a dark, dark room. The story goes on and on to smaller objects in the haunted house until finally a ghost jumps out of a box. This is the version by David Carter. In his rendition of this old tale the ghost is a pop-out figure which unfolds right off the page. I've watched various groups of children react to this story and they're always hanging on to every word. They jump, too, at the ending and then they laugh at themselves for being scared. What is my point talking about this popular book? My point is that Halloween is a wonderful time for stories and storytelling. It's the perfect holiday to share stories that are exciting and suspenseful, and it's the perfect holiday to enjoy programs at your public library. I work as a Children's Librarian at the Erlanger Branch Library and I've observed how much kids enjoy spooky stories. Today after reading a variety of books to a kindergarten class, the story they all asked me to read again was In a Dark, Dark Wood. It wasn't that they didn't like the other stories. I think it was the fact that the surprise ending excited them and that was thrilling. Children also love when they can dress up in their costumes and go out somewhere. We invite you to bring your children, ages
12 and younger, to the Halloween Party on Friday, Oct. 30 from 5-6 p.m. at the Erlanger Branch Library. Or bring them to a weekly story Theresa time or program Goedde at any one of three Community our branches. There Recorder is a variety of guest programs for columnist various ages. In October, there will be many holiday related themes. Another way to have children enjoy Halloween stories is to bring them to a Reading Buddies Session in October. Reading Buddies is a relatively new program at Erlanger Branch Library and I think it's one that many parents don't know about. The goal of the program is to help children improve their reading and language skills. Reading Buddy volunteers read with children, ages 2-12, using fun books we pull from our story-time collection. If the child is younger, the Buddy will read to them. If the child is older the Buddy will listen to the child read or perhaps alternate reading with the child. In October, there will be Halloween stories to share at each session
Halloween is a wonderful time for stories and storytelling. It's the perfect holiday to share stories that are exciting and suspenseful, and it's the perfect holiday to enjoy programs at your public library. and we'll include puppets and pop-up books too. After reading with a Buddy, children get to pick a prize and enjoy pizza. Sessions are every other Saturday morning from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and Monday afternoons from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. We have a wonderful group of volunteer readers who enjoy interacting with young readers and we just received a Target grant to support the Reading Buddies Program. So, it seems now is the season to bring your children to the library to enjoy the programs we have to offer. We invite you to come!

Swine flu poses many questions
I wish I could answer every question with strong scientific data to back me up. Are we doing enough to prepare for the swine flu and seasonal flu? Are we doing too much? Why is the virus spreading among young people? Questions like these have been a recurrent theme at the public presentations that our department is holding on swine flu this month. While I am able to share the best science that’s available to date, unfortunately it’s impossible for me to answer each question with complete certainty. But it is important to share what is known. We know that the real danger of the flu lies in the fact that it wears your body down, opening it up to other infections. For someone with an underlying medical condition, such as asthma or diabetes, the flu combined with the existing condition is dangerous and often leads to hospitalization, and, in a number of instances, even death. A recently released study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined the cases of 36 children who died from swine flu. Two-thirds of the children had underlying medical conditions such as muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. The remaining one-third who died had no underlying conditions, but died due to a bacterial infection that took root while they were already infected with flu. Data like these have helped shape our plans for prevention and containment of the virus already in our community.
Since April, children with serious medical conditions have been at higher risk for complications from swine flu, as have pregnant Steven women. Thus, two Katkowsky, these are M.D. groups going to be Community among the first Recorder to receive the guest v a c c i n a t i o n columnist when it is available in October or November. Looking at the seasonal flu, a different trend emerges: Adults age 65 and older comprise 90 percent of the 36,000 deaths that occur each year from complications related to influenza and pneumonia, according to CDC. Thus, they are targeted for seasonal flu vaccination and the onetime pneumonia shot, to prevent this common flu complication. To date, there have been no outbreaks of swine flu in older populations. The hard science on this isn’t in yet, but the theory is that the current swine flu virus is close enough to a virus that circulated many years ago that people who lived through that time period have built up immunity. While it seems strange that vaccination for a new strain of the flu would be targeted at different groups than the current seasonal flu vaccination, we must make priorities based on data. We’re also receiving many questions about the number of

As the swine flu begins to spread further into our community, it’s becoming difficult to count every case. Keep in mind, however, that we don’t capture information on every case of seasonal flu either. Surveillance is an effective way of tracking the spread of the disease. We are now tracking statistics like school absentee rates. We’re working with physicians to determine what symptoms they are seeing in their ill patients. Public health is a branch of science, and recommendations from public health must be made based on the science at hand. As we continue to learn more about the swine flu, we will continue to use that information to make the decisions that will best protect our citizens and prevent the spread of the virus. I can assure you that I will continue to keep everyone in the community up to date with the latest information I have. Dr. Steven R.

Wooden wonderland
By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Wade Halsey leans in - as if to share a secret - as he describes the final stages of a wooden table he’s been making. “They say hand-sanding builds character, but my character is already built, so I’ve got no use for it,” he says with a grin. “Of course, I never told my students that when I was teaching though.” Halsey, an Edgewood resident, may not be big on hand-sanding, but there’s little else this craftsman doesn’t enjoy about wood-working. And a glance around his Covington shop he spends most of his time at confirms that there’s probably not much he can’t do. Hung intermittently on the walls are hand-made cabinets full of chisels, wood-shapers, mallets and drill bits. Spaced through the room are various tables, many covered in drawings and nearly-completed projects. Along the back and side walls wall are rows of machines, including a lathe, two drum sanders, a table saw and a band saw. Near the front of the room are some of his latest projects, including the aforementioned table, several decorative cutting boards, a box full of wooden pens, a wine bottle holder and close to 30 dulcimer stands.

Wade Halsey looks through one of his hand-made tool cabinets before starting a project on Sept. 23. According to a smiling Halsey, "You can never have too many tools." “I may see something I like in a magazine or something, and decide I want to try and make one of those,” he said. “I usually end up giving most of it away to family or friends afterwards, but it’s just creating it that’s fun to me.” Halsey, the youngest of 11 kids growing up, said his love of woodworking developed as he went through college, following in the foot-

steps of two of his older brothers as they studied it at Eastern Kentucky University. Having sometimes grown bored of his studies in high school, Halsey said wood-working turned him into a completely different student. ‘I just fell in love with it, and all of a sudden I was always studying or working at it,” he said. “It was kind of funny to have three brothers all taking classes in the same department, but we all really enjoyed it.” After graduating, Halsey became a wood-working teacher at Petersburg High School in Virginia, where he worked for almost 10 years. Even after moving to Kentucky to become an administrator at Gateway, Halsey never lost his passion for wood-working. He would spend weekends in his brothers’ shops, working on various projects and honing his craft. “I kept saying I wanted my own shop though, so I finally just did it about a year and a half ago,” he said. “Now, unless I have something really important going on, I can be here most of the time. It’s great.” And while Halsey has tossed around the idea of teaching woodworking classes, he says he’s just content for now to spend his time crafting new projects. “I’m always looking for new projects, because I love a challenge,” he said. “This is what I love doing - simple as that.”

Life
What if I become angry with God? Honest people admit there are times they’re angry at God. Pious people pretend their faith is so strong that they’re never angry. A wise old lady said, “It’s better to be honest than pious.” If we’re human and honest there are times we do become angry and blame God for a lot of things (whether God’s responsible or not): he’s too silent; unresponsive to our needs; and unrelenting when our sufferings persist. We beg for a problem to be removed and it just gets worse. We pray for a dying child and the child dies. Years ago a mother’s 10-yearold son was killed in a freak accident. She stopped going to church and said she couldn’t believe in a God who would allow such tragedies to happen. Her anger is understandable.
Yet, which of us can explain to her or ourselves the mysteries of life? We might wonder – does the tragedy really demolish her belief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief she feels he caused her? What if she could rage and wrestle with God? God can take it. Might an honest human interchange with God possibly introduce her to a greater and loving God who suffers with her? When such existential crises occur some people lose their faith while very many eventually find their faith strengthened. God’s amazing grace is a powerful thing. Can we express our anger with God, and of all things, it still be
considered prayer? Certainly! The Bible abounds with examples. The prophets rebuked God at times for their hardships. Many of the Old Testament Psalms are known as “Lament Psalms,” prayers of complaint. God was real to them and they felt free enough to express their frustration. Certain psalms present us with words and feelings we might ordinarily hesitate using. “Lord, why do you cast me off and hide your face from me?” (Psalm 88) Others express our reliance on the care of God and complain when it seems missing, “God you are my rock, so why have you forgotten me?” (Psalm 42) Job’s wife was so angry she told Job to “Curse God, and die.” (Job 2:9) Where else can we be totally

human if not before the One who made us? We can sing out our praise and gratitude to God. At other times we can pray our frustrations and anger. We can also shout out our feelings of forsakenness and empty them out, send them echoing through the universe. Then, as we so often do in our human-to-human relationships, we see things differently and recant until the next time. Being open to God lets God be open with us. We can be true to him and to ourselves. We appreciate anyone who accepts our feelings of anger and doubt and accepts them, especially God. We begin to trust such a one with the rest of ourselves. Our honest struggles with God can permit us to make great advances

in our faith. We begin to understand life with insights we never had before. Some of us cling too long to our anger with Father Lou God or another Guntzelman person. To feel hurt and plan Perspectives vengeance is tasty to the undeveloped soul. It enables us to feel perpetually wronged, entitled to self-indulgence, and serve as an excuse for our lack of compassion toward others. We cynically print on our personal coat-of-arms, “Poor Me, Mean God.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

No purchase necessary for sweepstakes entry A local woman says she was shocked to learn her 87-year-old mother has been spending thousands of dollars on items in the mistaken belief the more she ordered the better chance she would have of winning a million dollar sweepstakes. Unfortunately, this type of thing has happened many times with senior citizens. Angie Pauly of Madeira said she discovered her mother wrote as many as five checks in one day, for a nearly two years, as she ordered merchandise from Publisher’s Clearing House. “I had one checkbook and I added up, just since July, what she had spent, and it was like $700,” Pauly said. After locating another checkbook, Pauly found more checks had been written so the total since July came to more than $1,200. “She paid $21.95 for ‘socket sensors,’ and I don’t
know what you do with them – there are no directions. It’s just worthless stuff. She hasn’t even opened this box,” she said. “She gets this stuff and just sets it aside because she thinks its going to help her win, I think,” Pauly said. In many cases the items received do have some value. She paid nearly $38 for four silver dimes, but when Pauly took them to a coin dealer she learned they were worth only $4. She has gone through many of the items, putting them in boxes and trying to see which ones she can return to try to get back some money. Pauly said she called Publisher’s Clearing House. “When I called, a supervisor was to call me back. That never happened. They were supposed to send me a list of things she could return. I’ve never gotten the list,” she said. So I called Publisher’s
Clearing House and learned the firm is aware some senior citizens are spending thousands of dollars each year because they believe it increases their chances of winning the sweepstakes. As a result, a company spokesman said the company set up a consumer aid program to try to weed out big spending seniors who are confused about this. He said 75 percent of those who respond to the company’s mailings return their entries without buying anything. The mailings include statements that you don’t have to buy anything to win but, he said, some seniors still don’t understand. After I explained the problem with Angie Pauly’s mother, the spokesman told me Publisher’s Clearing House will send her postage-paid labels to help her return the items so she can get back the money. As proof you don’t have to buy anything to win, the
spokesman said most of those who have won the major sweepstakes prizes at Publisher’s Clearing House over the years did not order anything with their winning entry.

Tickle your kids pink with healthy ice pops How is it that I can easily make, from scratch, a pastry-shop quality, multilayer Viennese torte with a delicate cooked pastry cream filling, yet have trouble sometimes with b o x e d cakes? I learned Rita why last Heikenfeld night at cake decoRita’s kitchen r a t i n g class. I forgot to follow the advice my teacher, Martha Buckler, gave: Don’t mix on too high a speed since that causes air bubbles. Instead, smack the cakes down on the counter to remove air bubbles before baking (my mom always did that), and bake at 325 degrees and not 350 degrees. You’ll have to bake a bit longer. Also if you’re using 9-inch round cake pans use two boxes of cake mix to fill them up nicely. Ditto for a 9-by-13 if you want a nice, high cake.
You’ll wind up having some leftover for another small cake.
Healthy pink lemonade dreamsicles for kids
For the mom who wants a healthier frozen treat for her kids. “I want to give them something that tastes good but is good for them,” she said. From my book “The Official Snack Guide.” These are great post-game snacks. 2 cups plain fat free yogurt 1 ⁄2 cup frozen pink or regular lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 teaspoon vanilla Blend everything together and pour into ice pop molds or four, 6-ounce paper cups. If making in cups, when partially frozen, insert craft sticks. To make orange dreamsicles: Substitute orange juice for lemonade Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you’re going to serve these right from the cooler for the kids at the
game, skip the sticks and pack plastic spoons.

Campaign continues with challenge United Way of Greater Cincinnati has announced a new $1 million broaden the base challenge match to support its goals of raising at least $62 million and attracting 10,000 new donors. “We are announcing this $1 million challenge grant to encourage more people to participate,� said Campaign chair A.G. Lafley, P&G chairman of the board. “This is a key goal of this campaign. To meet the increasing needs in our community we need everyone to participate.� Lafley continued, “To help with our goal of 10,000 new donors, we'll match the gift of every new donor one to one. “For every new or increased dollar from Leadership Givers of $2,500 or more, we'll also match one to one,� he said. Leadership Givers include Tocqueville donors of $10,000 or more. There's a goal of 1,000 new Leadership Givers and a goal of 150 new Tocqueville donors. “And, for every new gift at $25,000, or increases
from that level, the match will be two to one.� The match fund was created by gifts from individuals, companies and foundations. They are: Sue and Bill Butler, Castellini Foundation, Mr. Stanley M. Chesley and The Honorable Susan J. Dlott, Cintas, Carrie and John Hayden, Dr. Stanley and Mickey Kaplan Foundation, A.G. Lafley, Ken Lowe, Ohio National Financial Services, Francie and John Pepper, PNC Foundation, The Procter & Gamble Fund, and Mr. and Mrs. James M. Zimmerman. The broaden the base match joins two matching gifts already in place to support Leadership Giving. The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr.,/U.S. Bank Foundation offers a match for all new and increased Tocqueville Society gifts of $10,000 or more. Vickie Buyniski Gluckman is offering a challenge match for all new and increased gifts of $2,500 or more from women, part of a $1 million gift over four years. The campaign kicked off Aug. 26 and announced a
goal of at least $62 million, an amount Lafley termed the “minimum acceptable.� It's the amount the campaign raised last year but given that the needs are greater than ever, the campaign is shooting to do better than this. Workplace campaigns are in full swing. Individuals not reached through the workplace can find information and an opportunity to give on United Way's new campaign micro site www.wecanliveunited.org. The campaign supports services in the areas of education, income and health the basic things we all need for a good life - in Hamilton, Clermont, Brown, and northeastern Butler counties in Ohio, Boone, Campbell, Kenton, and Grant counties in Northern Kentucky and Dearborn and Ohio counties. The American Red Cross, Cincinnati Area Chapter, is United Way's fundraising partner in the campaign, which ends Oct. 30.

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