Chez Nora is set to be overrun by bootleggers, flappers, and gangsters this week … and the library couldn’t be happier. “Our goal is to turn (Chez Nora) into a speakeasy, so we can give people a feel of what that time was like,” said Venus Moose, the adult programmer at the Erlanger Branch of the Kenton County Public Library. “This is going to be a fantastic night, and people are going to love it.” Using a grant from the Fine Arts Fund of Cincinnati, the library is sponsoring a special event at the Covington jazz club on Oct. 8 as part of their “One Book, One Community” program. The program will include performances from local actors portraying the three main characters of “The Jazz Bird,” a story depicting the life of infamous Cincinnati bootlegger George Remus. Live jazz music and drink specials will be part of the affair as well. Moose said the library often has dramatic readings for some of their book discussions, but wanted to expand upon that idea to take

The program will be at Chez Nora Jazz Club in Covington, located at 530 Main St. It will begin at 7 p.m., and is free to attend. Guests should be over the age of 21, since alcohol will be served. Local playwrights Joe McDonough, Dale Doerman and Thom Atkinson, local actors Buz Davis, Tara Williams and Michael Bath and local musician Jim Connerly will be featured. For more information, visit www.kentonlibrary.org, or www.cheznora.com. advantage of the local flavor of the Craig Holden book. The book tells the story of Remus, his wife Imogene, and prosecutor Charlie Taft, who tries a murder case against Remus after Imogene is murdered. Moose said Erlanger Branch Director Sue Banks contacted some local playwrights, who agreed to write several short monologues for each of the characters to act out. The characters will be in full 1920s dress costumes, and have been researching their roles extensively. “It’s really a tragic story, but it’s so fascinating at the same time,” said Tara Williams, who will portray Imogene. “When you read about

this case, you just can’t imagine living during a time like this, but yet it also seems fun and exciting in a strange sort of way.” Buz Davis, who will portray George Remus, said guests should really enjoy getting to know his character, who was a “classic gangster”, but at the same time, was also was well-liked by many in the community. “He is known for the violent act of killing his wife, but there was really a lot more to his story, which I’ve found to be incredibly interesting,” he said. “Even though he was this criminal, people really liked him because he found ways to get them alcohol and could be rather generous at times.” Moose said the Remus’ were also known for their extravagant parties, where George would give away diamonds to the ladies or leaves $100 bills under the placemats as gifts. “Now I don’t think we’ll be doing that,” she joked. “But we are going to try to recreate that elegant atmosphere and let people see what it was like.” The program will start at 7 p.m., and is free to attend. There will be drink specials and free appetizers. Visit www.cheznora.com or www.kentonlibrary.org.

Students, faculty, and parents at Miles Elementary are abuzz about the new system to evaluate pupil performance that goes beyond an A, B, or C grade.

Soccer, baseball, basketball, cheerleading, volleyball – it doesn’t matter. Debra Kramer loves teaching them all. “The Sports Academy is just a fun way for kids to try out a few different sports to see which ones they like,” she explained. “It’s always fun for the kids to try different things, and you never know when something is going to click for them.” Kramer, a former swimmer at the University of Kentucky, is the new director of the Silverlake Sports Academy, a program that allows younger children to get involved in a variety of activities, depending on the season. With winter quickly approaching, Kramer said she is working to organize basketball and volleyball camps, with hopes of generating enough interest to start leagues in January.

In that camp, participants get a basic understanding of a number of sports, allowing them to gauge their interest in each. Nancy Igel, whose 4year old son Matt is in the Youth Development Camp, said it’s been a positive experience for him. “It’s been great, because he’s getting exposed to all of these sports in one setting,” she said. “He’s really enjoyed it.” Matt’s father, David, said the Silverlake coaches and instructors are great

St. E 20th street campus will be nursing home By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

The St. Elizabeth Healthcare 20th Street Covington campus will be transformed into an 82-bed nursing home by early 2010. Prior to the sale the St. Elizabeth location had also operated as a nursing home, but the hospital only had 19 long-term care beds available. A group of investors plan to develop the as-yetunnamed campus to house multiple services for the community, including the nursing home, a cafeteria, professional offices, a beauty salon and more, said principal investor George Hagan. “The general lobby and cafeteria will be renovated to not only accommodate a lot more people, but also to

accommodate the community,” Hagan said. “We want the community to feel welcome and to come in and use the cafeteria and conference rooms.” Hagan’s group of investors will put close to $1 million into renovating portions of the campus. In addition to the nursing home, the 20th Street campus will still house the Diocese of Covington and the St. Elizabeth finance division. The St. Elizabeth emergency department, wound care center, dialysis, women’s services and outpatient services have been moved to the new St. Elizabeth Covington Ambulatory Center at 1500 James Simpson Jr. Way off of 12th Street. Hagan, who has over 19 years of experience as a nursing home administrator,

hopes the nursing home’s community outreach will help revitalize that part of Covington. “The hospital is historically significant to Covington. Most folks over the age of 40 were born there or had some interaction with that building,” he said. “We think it’s a great opportunity to take historic buildings like that and revitalize that urban core.” St. Elizabeth Healthcare president and CEO Joseph Gross said the 20th Street campus has been an “integral” part of Covington ever since it emerged “from an orphanage and nursing school to a comprehensive acute care facility to the present.” “We are pleased to see the campus continue serving the community through this endeavor,” Gross said.

Currently over $400,000 in renovation and restoration is happening in the old Salvation Army building, which dates back to 1924. Two years ago the sisters put together a focus group made up of religious, educa-

Trees still line Morgan Court in Park Hills By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Morgan Court residents in Park Hills will get to keep their leafy canopy. Work began on the street, which will be 18-feet wide instead of 22-feet wide, last week and should be completed before Thanksgiving. The city initially offered

to take down any dead trees or trees that could possibly be damaged by the project for free. Residents were OK with the idea until June when the 15 or so trees were marked with a red â&#x20AC;&#x153;X.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the final product until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staring them in the face,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Michael Hellmann.

In the end, the city took down only about nine trees after re-engineering the project and making the street slightly narrower. The city spent a little over $3,000 more than originally estimated to reengineer the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rebuilding the street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right thing to do. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get it done,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In addition, the city will also replace a tree if it dies within three years after the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they tried their best to come up with a good plan for the street,â&#x20AC;? said 20year Morgan Court resident Bob Bornschein.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think trees are a major attractive feature of Park Hills. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much a park-like setting.â&#x20AC;?

For 28 months after being diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, Villa Hills resident Carolyn McGoy endured various treatments, tests and doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointments, all while riding an emotional roller coaster. And her husband Tom was there by her side through every step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That time is something that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade for anything in the world, because it was just her and I together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped me to understand that every day is a blessing.â&#x20AC;? Tom has documented the story in his new book, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Great Journey: A Love Storyâ&#x20AC;?, which was released on Sept. 28. The book chronicles the McGoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, starting with the September 2006 day when Carolyn was diagnosed. And while it does contain details about Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition and the ongoing treatment process, Tom also talks about the happy moments, including a long weekend in Maine where they ate their fair share of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Red Bugsâ&#x20AC;? (Maine lobsters). He also recalled a special day in 2008 when Carolyn surprised him by insisting they maintain their tradition and attend the Great Inland Seafood Festival in Newport, despite her weakened condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That day was one of the best days of my life, without question,â&#x20AC;? he said, pausing to collect his emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She

was so strong and so positive throughout this, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what inspired me to start writing everything down.â&#x20AC;? McGoy said he began organizing his thoughts after Carolyn, 68, passed away on January 28 of this year, originally thinking he would have only a few pages to share with family members and close friends. The McGoys were married just over 48 years, and have two children and six grandchildren. However, once he began recalling their lives over the previous 28 months, the words began to fill page after page after page. He soon had a manuscript, which he distributed to friends and family, who encouraged him to have it published. After several editing sessions, McGoy would send his manuscript to Book Locker, who became his publisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it really was helpful for me to do this, because I was able to share both the good and bad parts of our journey through this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very

emotional to write and I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read certain passages without tearing up, but I definitely feel like the book was a good idea.â&#x20AC;? Peggy Brooks, a registered nurse with Cincinnati Hematology-Oncology Inc. who got to know the McGoys during Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatments, said the book is a testimony to the McGoysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were the ultimate team, and they were so caring and loving to each other,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this book is not only wonderful tribute to Carolyn, who was an amazing person, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great window in showing how spouses deal with these issues, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perspective we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see.â&#x20AC;? McGoy, who is planning to market the book nationally, said that all proceeds from the book will go towards the cancer community. The book is available online at www.booklocker.com and www.amazon.com. for $11.95, and he hopes to make it available at local retailers as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest lesson Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

learned is that you have to keep pushing forward no matter what life throws at

you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just enjoy every moment, and make the most of each day. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

what Carolyn and I did, and I hope this inspires everyone to do the same.â&#x20AC;?

Taking the bite out of dog ordinance By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

0000360069

What constitutes a vicious dog in the city of Independence could change next month. Independence City Council heard the first reading of an ordinance modifying the definition of a vicious dog ordinance at the regular

meeting Monday Oct. 5. Currently, a dog must bite a person to be considered vicious. Under a revision officers could cite a dog’s owner if the animal has the “propensity” to be vicious or an officer has to take “defensive action” or feels “immediate apprehension of bodily harm.” The issue of vicious animals was first brought

before council at the regular meeting Sept. 14. Residents living on Roselawn Drive were concerned about another resident’s pit bulls. “This is a really good solution for everyone involved,” said Roselawn Drive resident Kirk Huesman, who attended the Oct. 5 meeting. “It’s a good solution for pit bull owners and for residents. This allows for action before injury.” Roselawn Drive resident Mike Ponzer agreed. “I think it’s a step in the right direction,” he said. “It’s a lot better than what they had.” City Council also amended the existing ordinance to include language restricting the ownership of exotic animals and increased the amount of insurance required for the owner of a dog determined to be vicious from $100,000 to $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence. The city decided not to enforce an outright ban of pit bulls because council did not feel like it was needed, Mayor Chris Moriconi said. City Council will hear a second reading of the ordinance at their regular meeting Nov. 2.

Taylor Mill cruisers to get new video systems By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Taylor Mill Police cruisers will receive a more than $72,000 upgrade by midNovember. The department applied for the non-matching grant under provisions of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. The $72,425 will allow the department to equip all 11 cruisers with state-ofthe-art digital video recorders that will record inside and outside the vehicle. Grant-writer Sgt. Patrick Reis said the in-car video system will save hours of police labor. Police use incar video as evidence. The current system uses VHS tapes and takes much longer than the digital system will, Reis said. “Generally it’ll take you 45 minutes when you need to get a tape, pull it out, view it, copy it and bring it

REGAN COOMER/STAFF

Taylor Mill Police Sgt. Patrick Reis applied for and was awarded more than $70,000 in non-matching state grant funds to purchase digital video recorders for every Taylor Mill cruiser. Reis said the cameras should be installed in all 11 cruisers by the end of the year. in as evidence,” Reis said. “The new system has a hard drive that records 8 to 10 hours of video. When you come back to the office it automatically downloads to the computer.” Reis said officers will click a button to send their video to a disc, print a label

and go. The digital video cameras will also cut down on paperwork, liability and keep officers on the street longer, Reis said. “It will greatly improve the efficiency of the department and give the citizens better service because we’re going to be out there longer,” he said. “It’s just a great thing to have for police officers all around.” Taylor Mill Police Chief Steve Knauf said Reis has secured nearly half a million dollars in grant money for the department over the last 15 years, which he called “outstanding.” “Receiving such a large amount of grant funding during these very difficult economic times is huge for our department and the citizens we serve,” he said. “Sgt. Reis was instrumental in securing this funding.” The Taylor Mill Police Department will begin installation of the digital video systems in midNovember. All cruisers will be upgraded to the new system by the end of the year.

Green means go

River Ridge students rewarded for good behavior

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

River Ridge students are giving new meaning to the phrase “going green”. The school recently held their first Behavior Store of the year to reward kids for good behavior in the classroom and around the school. Using a traffic light system, the students start each day on green, with bad behavior causing them to move down to yellow, red, or

Standardbased grades going over well By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

The positive energy floating around Miles Elementary these days hasn’t gone unnoticed. First-year teacher Tiffany Bell said her students are literally jumping out of their seats during their daily “Math Minute” session, anxious to beat their own previous high scores. Fourth-grade teacher Kim Asbrock, in her fifth year, said this may be the best school year she’s been a part of at Miles. Kindergarten teacher Mary Fender can’t keep the smile off her face when talking about the changes the school has undergone this year. And Principal Bryant Gillis couldn’t be happier either. “It’s obviously been great to see how well everyone is embracing this,” he said. “We’ve really got something fantastic going on.” But it’s not only the staff that’s buzzing about the new standardsbased grading system. Following the first Parents Academy on Sept. 30, where parents could learn about the philosophy behind the change, the positive attitude seems to be spreading. “I’m very impressed, because I think it’s like a breath of fresh air for the school, and it was time for a change” said parent Kelly Molitor, who has a fourth-grade son at Miles. “The new system really helps the kids approach learning differently, rather than just shooting for a certain number or grade.” “I didn’t really fully understand the system at first, but I think the academy was a great way to let parents know about it,” added par-

even blue, which means a trip to the principal’s office. At the end of the month, students with two or fewer “yellow lights” can visit the behavior store to select a prize from a collection of toys, posters, and other trinkets. Most of the prizes are donated to the school, although Melissa Barnes, who helps run the store, said she makes a few of the posters using photos and a laminating machine. “The kids love these pictures,

and it’s a pretty easy thing to make,” she said. “They really just love being able to get any kind of prize - they’re always full of smiles when they come through here.” Sherry Taylor, who also helps run the shop, said the school uses the traffic light system to allow students a little leniency, with the yellow light serving as a warning for the first instance of bad behavior on the day. “We certainly don’t want them to be on red or blue, so the yellow

is kind of a warning that they need to cut out what they’re doing,” she said. “We’d love to have them all on green all the time, but this way they can maybe have a bad moment and then start fresh the next day.” Second-grader Savannah Harmon, clutching her poster, said the behavior store is definitely an incentive to be on good behavior at all times. “I hope I always stay on green so I can come here,” she said.

“It means you have to listen to the teacher and do all your work and not talk out of turn, but it’s also cool that you get a prize if you do that.” Taylor said that students who remain on green all year will get to choose from a larger batch of prizes at the end of the year. “It’s just a cool program where the kids can see the value in behaving and paying attention in school,” she said. “I think they really enjoy it.”

Fifty from Kenton Co. named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars JASON BRUBAKER/STAFF

Kindergarten teacher Mary Fender shares a laugh with some of her students on Oct. 1. Fender said the new standards-based grading has helped align the entire school so there are no gaps or overlaps in what the students are learning in each grade level.

Miles Elementary fourth-graders Brooke Ramsey and Alexandra Herrmann gain some Accelerated Reader points on Oct. 1 as they read passages from a book. The students have worked with their teachers to set goals in each of their subjects, including reading. ent Tracy Hunt, who has a firstgrader. “I think it really helped get everyone on the same page.” The school is only about six weeks into their standards-based grading system, but already is seeing the effect of the drastic change, which actually started last spring when a few teachers began transitioning into the new system. The teachers and staff then spent the summer working together to devise the program for the entire school. The new system allows teachers to assess students with standards, based on goals the students and teachers have set, rather than using the typical letter grades. “If a kid got an ‘A’ in math, that might not show that he was great at addition but needed some work

on subtraction,” said Bell. “But now, we can really break each subject down and see where the students need work in each area, and it’s really making a difference.” Hunt said the system allows for a more accurate representation of what the students are learning, adding that the goal-setting is a vital part of the process for students. “I’m really pleased that the students are involved with their goals setting, because it allows them to see the importance of learning these subjects,” she said. “Once they get out of school and into the world, they’ll have to know how to set their own goals and work towards them, so it’s great for them to get that experience and confidence now.” In fact, Gillis said the only problem posed so far by the standardsbased system has proved to be technical issues, such as inputting the vast amount of data in the computers or coming up with abbreviations for the standards to fit into the district’s Infinite Campus program, which only allows for limited characters. The school’s first official report cards are set to go out on Oct. 28, although there will be another Parents Academy before then. “I think the students are really motivated to make this work, and it’s really paying off,” said Asbrock. ““I think the emphasis has switched more from what the students are doing at school to what they are learning at school, and that’s great.”

Fifty students from Kenton County have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT. The title honors the late state Sen. Jeff Green of Mayfield, who served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1992 to 1997. Local students who earned this prestigious designation are: • Beechwood High School: Brent Bishop, Rebecca Matthews, Matthew Miller, Justin Penny, Taylor Prewitt, Jordan Redfield, Christian Williams. • Calvary Christian School: Rachel Madden, Jamie Rust. • Covington Catholic High School: Alex Etling. • Covington Latin High School: Brian Becker, Rachel Bier, Jesse Coe, Kelly King, Sierra O’Bryan, Andrea Patton, Brynn Stylinski. • Dixie Heights High School: Naseem Ansari, Alexander Benken, Taylor Jackson, Corinne Long, Sabrina Schatzman. • Ludlow High School: Derek King, Christina Pelfrey, John Troehler. • Scott High School: Christina Barth, Matthew Dickman, Kelly Gregory, Andrea Hiller, Carly Hood, Brian Jones, Ronald Kloska, David Mettens, Sydney Otis, Charles Schmidt, Ian van Lierop. • Simon Kenton High School:

Wesley Abrams, Tyler Blau, Tyler Brann, Emily Cain, Erin Graham, Stacey Lankheit, Amanda Lukas, Andrew Malott, Samantha McKenzie, Mary Ann Mullins, Craig Schadler, Kayla Smith, Jessica Wolsing. • Villa Madonna Academy: Emily Schubert. “My congratulations go to these hardworking and deserving students for this tremendous academic accomplishment,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “A strong education system builds the foundation for students to be successful in college and beyond, and I am grateful for the dedication and support of the faculty, administrators and the parents who helped these students succeed. I know they are proud of them today.” As Sen. Jeff Green Scholars, these students are eligible for at least $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. KEES awards are funded by net Kentucky lottery proceeds and may be used at most colleges and universities in Kentucky. Students may access their KEES account information at www.kheaa.com by setting up a Zip Access account. For more information about KEES, write to KHEAA, P.O.

The beginning of district of play signals a fresh start to the season for the 3-3 Lloyd Juggernauts. The ’Nauts begin district play when they host Newport Oct. 9. Lloyd had its three-game winning streak snapped by Scott High School on Oct. 2, losing 34-26 in a shootout. Scott and Lloyd traded touchdowns the entire night. The Eagles came out top by scoring the first and last touchdowns of the game. Quarterback Zach Sowder rushed for 217 and two touchdowns. His 68y a r d touchd o w n sprint in the fourth quarter sealed the win for the Eagles. “We had trouble stopping their quarterback runs,” Lloyd head coach Roy Lucas said. “He’s really good.” Still, every time the Eagles found the endzone, the Juggernauts responded.

Seth Chappie rushed for one score and caught a touchdown pass. Quarterback Dylan McGuire passed for 247 yards and three touchdowns. “I was happy with the way we kept battling back,” Lucas said. “I just didn’t feel like we came out playing hard from the start.” Charles Johnson did his best to keep the Juggernauts in the game. Johnson hauled in a 30yard touchdown pass from McGuire to tie the game at 20 in the third quarter. He also had a key interception on defense. But it was not enough to overcome the efforts of Sowder and the Eagles. After splitting their first six games of the season, the Juggernauts enter district play. The next three games – against Newport, Holy Cross, and Newport Central Catholic – will make or break the Juggernauts’ season. “We feel like we’re really just getting started,” Lucas said. “We need focus and

Lloyd junior Jordan Smith goes for a kill during the Juggernauts’ 25-17, 2520 loss to Bishop Brossart Sept. 29.

Darrell Cammack is building his Lloyd Memorial volleyball team for a bountiful 2010. The Juggernauts have already had a winning 2009. The team has no seniors and eight juniors this year and has built a 12-8 record through Sept. 30. The team has a signature win over Highlands this year and has mainly beaten smaller schools while losing to bigger ones. Another highlight was winning the Ludlow Classic earlier in the year, claiming several close wins en route to that title. “It’s been a roller coaster ride,” Cammack said. “We have some potential. We get a little flustered sometimes, and we need to mature a little bit.” The starters in a Sept. 29 loss to Bishop Brossart were Kirsten Carroll, Jordan Smith, Taylor Dashner, Lind-

New, veteran golfers earn trip to state By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Covington Catholic golf team is used to qualifying for state but had not won a regional title in three years. So it was a mixed blessing when the Colonels finished second in the Region 7 tournament Sept. 28 at Twin Oaks Golf & Plantation Club in Covington. The Colonels were runner-up to Ryle for the third straight year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re disappointed to

lose for the third year in a row, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going back down to state,â&#x20AC;? senior Mickey Sutton said. The state tournament is Oct. 6-7 in Bowling Green. Sutton, the lone returning starter from 2008, shot an 81 for the Colonels. The last CovCath golfer to finish his round, his 39 on the back nine proved to be crucial in what turned out to be a tight race for the second team berth at state. Cooper was two strokes behind CovCath in third place.

Transplant trees, shrubs in fall Question: Is this a good time to plant trees and shrubs in my landscape, or should I wait until spring? Answer: Broadleaf evergreens like hollies, boxwoods and rhododendrons tend to dry out over the winter, since they “transpire” (lose water through their leaves) all winter; thus it may be better to wait until March or April to plant them. Most other trees and shrubs, however, respond well to fall planting. Selecting the right varieties for the location and transplanting them in the fall gives trees and shrubs a head start on winter and helps them provide pleasure and beauty for years to come. Now through November is a good time to transplant trees and shrubs. Ornamentals lose less

m o i s t u r e because fall days are shorter, outdoor temperatures are cooler and rainfall usually is adequate. These conditions also help Mike Klahr retain soil moisture so plants Community can settle into Recorder their new locacolumnist tion. Also, many of these plants are deciduous and lose their leaves in the fall so their demand for water is less. Trees and shrubs also undergo internal changes that promote root growth and increase tolerance to winter weather. Leaf growth during the summer produced sugars that were

moved into the roots, so ample energy is available to re-establish strong root systems after transplanting. Woody ornamental root systems continue to grow at soil temperatures above 40 degrees, so planting in October and early November usually will give them six to seven weeks before soils reach this temperature. For best results, choose ornamentals that are hardy to the area. Avoid trees and shrubs that are only hardy to zone six or above because they are only marginally hardy in Kentucky. Planting an assortment of shrubs and trees will slow down the spread of disease and insect problems. Several ornamentals can be successfully planted in early to late fall. They include coffee tree,

crabapple, elm (disease-resistant varieties only) ginkgo, honey locust, linden, sugar maple, pagoda tree and serviceberry. It is best to wait until after leaf drop later in the fall to plant birch, flowering dogwood, oak, red maple, sweetgum and tuliptree (tulip poplar.) Dig the planting hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball, but the same depth as the root ball. Ornamentals should not be planted any deeper then they grew in a container or field. If you are not sure how deep to plant a tree, plant it on the shallow side. It is less damaging to plant a tree too shallow than to plant it too deep where it may get root rot or die from lack of oxygen. Inadequate moisture during dry periods is the primary threat

to transplant survival most years. Recent rains have helped replenish ground moisture, but the plants still need additional water. Be sure to thoroughly soak the ground after transplanting. After transplanting, apply a two- to three-inch layer of mulch. Avoid piling mulch around the base of the trunk because this may encourage rotting, and may result in vole damage to the bark. Do not fertilize newly planted trees and shrubs during the first year because it will cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of root development. Also, amending the soil with sand, compost or peat moss is unnecessary and can keep an extensive root system from developing. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

CHATROOM Last week’s question

Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not? “No to the flu and H1N1 vaccines. I’ve been flu-free without the vaccine and despite having flu-like symptoms after getting a flu shot, I’ll pass to enable someone else to get the vaccine.” Florence “I plan to get a regular flu shot this week. Uncertain about the H1N1 shot. It seems the H1N1 vaccine has been manufactured in haste, and I am uncertain if the potential cure may be worse than the flu.” G.G. “I already have received my regular flu shot. When I asked about H1N1 they replied that because of my age I probably was either exposed to or had it back in the 1957 epidemic. I can’t

I also read there is a derivative of mercury (thiomersal) in the H1N1. Most severe reactions, permanent disabilities, and deaths caused by vaccines never get reported. I will probably skip the H1N1.” Duke

On Sept. 9, President Barack Obama came to the Capitol to address a Joint Session of Congress on the subject of health care reform. During his speech, the president outlined a number of broad proposals and requirements for any bill, but none were uttered more forcefully than this one: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits – either now or in the future. Period.” This declaration was so exacting that it led New York Times columnist David Brooks to dub it “the Dime Standard.” During his address, the president outlined several goals that both members of Congress and the American people can agree upon, like making coverage affordable for all Americans and enacting insurance reform to ensure people with pre-existing conditions can find coverage. I hope that the “Dime Standard” can be counted among these shared goals. However, it is one that the health care bill being debated by the House (H.R. 3200) currently fails to meet. In

fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that H.R. 3200 would add $239 billion to the deficit in the U.S. Rep. first 10 years Geoff Davis alone and $1.6 trillion over 20 Community years. AdditionRecorder ally, H.R. 3200 guest will saddle columnist small businesses, manufacturers and families with $818 billion in new taxes. Health care costs already place a severe burden on American budgets. There are undeniable flaws in our system, and without reform, these costs will continue to grow and create new hardships for families, businesses, and state and local governments. For example, as currently structured, Medicare presents a serious challenge to the fiscal health of the federal budget. The

Davis honored by crisis center

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis was awarded the Amy Jones Outstanding Advocate Award from the Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) of Northern Kentucky. The award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the effort to reduce domestic violence in Northern Kentucky. Selection criteria include leadership, demonstrated impact and recognition among peers. Davis was presented the award during the WCC’s Day of Peace celebration. “Congressman Davis’ tireless dedication to fighting domestic violence makes him an ideal candidate to receive the Amy Jones Outstanding Advocate Award. Having heard him speak candidly about his own experiences with domestic violence in the past, the Women’s Crisis Center knew that he was per-

sonally invested in this cause,” said WCC Senior Public Education Specialist and Chair of the Day of Peace planning committee Ann Brandon. The Day of Peace celebration is an annual event held to promote peacemaking and reduce violence in families, neighborhoods and schools in Northern Kentucky. “The key to success in the fight against domestic violence is not only building awareness, but also building relationships. We need to show those who are caught in the cycle of violence that there is a way out and a future filled with hope, if they are willing to pursue it. It is an honor to receive this award, and I want to thank the Women’s Crisis Center for all their important work in Northern Kentucky,” Davis said.

Boards of Trustees of the Medicare Trust Funds are required annually to report to Congress an assessment of Medicare’s fiscal future. In the most recent report released in May 2009, the trustees, who include three members of the president’s Cabinet, warned that the program will accumulate nearly $38 trillion in unfunded liabilities over the next 75 years. This simple mathematical fact requires attention from Congress as a part of the ongoing health care debate. We must protect seniors and fulfill the promises made by Congress as a part of reform. Instead of addressing this elephant in the room, H.R. 3200 proposes a whole web of new government programs and agencies that will add hundreds of billions to our deficit in the first decade alone. Health care reform must embrace ideas that in the end reduce costs to the system overall instead of simply rearranging the cost burden among different payers. At the end of August, the White House announced that it expects a $9 trillion deficit over the next 10 years. That projection is nearly $2 trillion more than the White House previously forecast only three months earlier. This latest news highlights the critical importance of President Obama’s “Dime Standard.” It is past time to end Washington’s addiction to irresponsible and unsustainable spending and borrowing. More government and more debt is not the right way forward for health care reform or for our economy as a whole. President Obama’s “Dime Standard” is a good marker in the debate over health care reform, but we must seize this opportunity to enact fundamental reform that will reduce the cost of health care system-wide. Health care reform legislation must take the steps necessary to fix what is broken, wasteful, and unnecessarily costly in American health care while preserving the aspects of the system that work. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to enact fiscally responsibly health care reform legislation. Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Hebron, is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Rosary March for World Peace Saturday, October 10, 2009 10:00 a.m. Meet at Florence Government Center 8100 Ewing Blvd. Florence, KY 41042 (plenty of free parking) “Pray the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world.” - Our Lady of Fatima 1917

“We do not hesitate to affirm again publicly that We put great confidence in the Holy Rosary for the healing of evils which afflict our times” - Pope Pius XII

ur Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima on October 13, 1917, when the great “Miracle of the Sun” was witnessed by 70,000 people. At each of her six apparitions from May 13th to October 13th of 1917, The Blessed Virgin Mary asked for the daily Rosary, for penance, amendment of life, and Holy Communions of reparation on first Saturdays of five consecutive months. Our Lady also asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, to be made by the Pope and Bishops simultaneously in order to obtain the conversion of Russia and peace for the world. In his wonderful book, The Secret of The Rosary, Saint Louis De Montfort teaches us the importance and power of The Most Holy Rosary that was given to us by the Blessed Virgin Mary. And especially does our Saint emphasize the importance and power of the Rosary. Saint Louis De Montfort instructs: “There are several ways of praying the most Holy Rosary, but that which gives Almighty God the greatest glory, does the most for our souls and which the devil fears more than any other, is that of praying the Rosary publicly.” Furthermore, “Somebody who prays his Rosary alone only gains the merit of one Rosary, but if we pray it together with a hundred people we gain the merit of a hundred Rosaries. This is the law of public prayer. How profitable, how advantageous this is!” We all realize the seriousness of the state of the world today. It is obvious that the efforts of man and governments will not solve the world’s problems. We need the Divine Help afforded by the praying of the Rosary. As the Blessed Virgin Mary herself said: “One day through the Rosary and Brown Scapular I will save the world.” It has been over 90 years since the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal. We must heed Our Lady’s requests and pray the Rosary every day. We must pray and do penance so we can attain world peace, and an end to the crimes of abortion and other horrible sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance. We also pray for our elected officials, our police, fire fighters; and especially our troops, so that they get home safely and quickly. “The Rosary is experiencing a new springtime. When reciting the Rosary the important and meaningful moments of salvation history are relived. The Rosary brings peace and reconciliation. It contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the center of each Hail Mary.” - Pope Benedict XVI

Please join us in an hour of prayer Saturday morning, October 10th as we pray the Rosary for World Peace and the conversion of Russia as The Blessed Virgin Mary requested of mankind when she appeared at Fatima over 90 years ago.

The business, located in Fort Mitchell, will donate 10 percent of all sales to the local chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. PANDORA Jewelry will not be included in the special event because the company is already donating funds to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Customers will receive a free “stuffed” tote for a $150 PANDORA purchase. Vice President Matthew Schulz hopes the two-day event will raise not only awareness, but funds to help find a cure for breast cancer.

Help support breast cancer awareness at Schulz & Sons Jewelers Oct. 16 and 17. The Fort Mitchell business, located at 2202 Dixie Highway, will donate 10 percent of every sale on the two-day event to the local chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “It’s the third year since I took over the business and after a couple years of getting my feet wet I wanted to find ways to give back to the community,” said Matt Schulz, vice president of the company. The only exception to the sale is PANDORA products because the company has dedicated $100,000 to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Schulz hopes the twoday special event will help promote the breast cancer awareness cause. “One in 1,000 women is

affected. More than likely each person in the community knows or knows of somebody with breast cancer,” Schulz said. “This money can help improve their future.” Breast cancer awareness is just one of the ways Schulz & Sons gives back to the community – the 56year-old business also donates thousands of dollars to local schools and organizations for silent auctions. “We view our customers as individuals and we view each piece of jewelry as a personal representation of them,” Schulz said. Customers can trade in diamonds and gold for credit or design one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings and more in-store using Schulz & Sons’ Virtual Display Case technology. “Turn your out-of-date design into something new,” Schulz said.

means in our dealings with God we must develop a tolerance for ambiguity. In his book “God, The Oldest Question,” William J. O’Malley, S.J., writes, “I do believe that the Holy Spirit is a feminine principle within God, just as the book of Wisdom pictures her. “But in my experience, God is … far more masculine (challenging, rational, decisive, unbending) than feminine (cherishing, enfolding, mothering, consoling.) Again in my experience, if God is a ‘she,’ God is one damn tough cookie.” The parables of Jesus Christ are stories about people, but their real plot is about the heart of God. Notice that there is always an element of astonishment, surprise and the unexpected in them. The measured expectations of those hearing them are shattered. God was always more than anticipated. John Shea writes, “As Mark says, ‘He was too much for them.’ Like a woman who loves too much, like ointment that

costs too much and is spilled Father Lou too much, like a sevGuntzelman e n t y Perspectives t i m e s seven God who forgives too much.” Today we like a housebroken God, a God we can keep on a leash, who has predictable habits, doesn’t generate questions, and makes sense by our logic. Author Kathleen Norris writes: “One so often hears people say, ‘I just can’t handle it,’ when they reject a biblical image of God as Father, Mother, as Lord and Judge, God as a lover… God on a cross. … If we seek a God we can ‘handle’ that will be exactly what we get – a God we can manipulate, suspiciously like ourselves, the wideness of whose mercy we’ve cut down to size.” What we get then is not God. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com.

Technology changes so rapidly with new gadgets invented every day. Estimates show Kentuckians annually dispose of about 40,000 to 80,000 tons of electronic waste. Fortunately, many Kentucky counties offer recycling programs for this waste, also known as e-scrap. Electronics contain valuable materials including copper, precious metals or engineered plastic. Recycling electronics conserves these materials and reuses them, many times to make other electronic components. By using recycled materials compared to new ones, manufacturers use less energy in the production of new electronics. Many electronics also contain hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury and nickel, which could be hazardous to humans and the environment. Additionally, recycling cuts down on greenhouse gases emitted from the production of electronics by reducing the need for mining and processing new materials. According to the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the production of one million computers emits as many greenhouse gases as the annual emission from more than 17,000 cars. Each county's solid waste division has different recycling policies, and may only accept certain items. Some locations may not accept electronics at all while others only accept electronics during certain times of the year. Some common electronics which can be recycled include CD players, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, televisions, cell phones and computers. Check with the Kenton county solid waste coordinator or extension office to learn about recycling events and programs in your community. Many electronic retailers and manufacturers also have return programs for their products. For more information contact Kenton County Cooperative Extension Office at 10990 Marshall Road, Covington, (859) 356-3155.

unfamiliar again. This holds true whether the familiar thing be a flower, a snowfall, a job or even God. Mystics call this process “awakening.” Most of our lives we just go on turning the pages of our mental book, “Things I Know For Sure.” Our pictures of God were pasted there when we were kids. Now they’re cracked, sepia-colored, and a little dusty. Archie Bunker had a large album of them to which he referred frequently. One of the attractions to the recent novel, “The Shack,” seems to be the different images used for the Triune-God. Archie would have condemned the book. Certainly there is a need to recognize the stability and steadfastness of God. The psalmists often used descriptive words like “fortress” and “rock” to do this. What must be remembered is that God is an absolute mystery. St. Anselm described God as “The One beyond that is able to be thought.” That

Help environment by recycling electronics

Checking our images of God Humans have a strong tendency to categorize things. Then we paste our categories in a mental book titled, “Things I Know For Sure.” This makes us feel more secure but less enthralled. Often it takes a crisis to rediscover how something old can be new again. St. Augustine has always intrigued me. After his conversion to Christianity, he wrote a prayer that began, “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new …” Imagine that! Not perceiving God in the typical category of being judgmental, severe or powerful – but beautiful. God is a frequent recipient of our familiarizing. God never grows up in our minds, never becomes new, exciting and breathtaking. He remains an old grandfatherly man or mean-spirited critic. To expand the quality of our lives, G.K. Chesterton once said that our spiritual and psychological task is to learn to look at familiar things until they become

yet. Bring water to a boil. Lower heat then add chicken. Simmer until tender. Remove chicken, let cool and remove from bones. Reserve broth. Melt butter in a skillet, whisk in flour and cook slowly for one minute. Add 1 cup milk and 1⁄2 cup chicken broth and stir carefully. Add another 1⁄2 cup broth. Season everything with salt and pepper. Place chicken on a serving platter and pour sauce over and serve. To serve in bread bowls: Cut off top of round loaf of bread. Hollow out bottom 2⁄3, and set the reserved bread aside. In preheated 350 degree oven, toast the hollowed out bread round along with the reserved pieces for a few minutes. Pour the chicken topped with sauce into bread bowl. Use chunks of reserved bread to dunk into bowl and to act as a utensil.

Kathy’s Renaissance chicken pie served in bread bowls

Originally from Kathy Kneipp, a Clermont County reader. She loves history and taught her kids about the Renaissance by having them help her prepare a Renaissance meal. Here’s my adaptation: 2 frying chickens, cut up 1 teaspoon garlic powder (opt.) 1 small onion, cut up 4 tablespoons butter 1 ⁄2 cup flour 1 cup milk Broth from chicken Salt and pepper to taste Fill a pan with enough water to cover chicken, add garlic powder and onion, but do not add the chicken

Old West pulled pork barbecue

In the Old West you had

to raise the pig, butcher it, smoke the hams, etc. Lucky for us we can just go to the grocery where the pork is neatly wrapped, ready to cook. Cook a pork loin roast in 3 cups water with a diced onion, a teaspoon or so minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, in the crockpot until done (about three hours on high, five hours on low). When cool, shred. Measure out 1 quart broth from cooked meat. Add to that:

1 bottle ketchup 1 ⁄2 cup mustard 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika (opt.) 1 ⁄2 to 1 cup brown sugar 1 bay leaf 2 slices lemon 1 tablespoon each: vinegar and Worcestershire sauce Dash or two Tabasco sauce (opt.) Cook 10 minutes, remove bay leaf and add meat that has been shred-

ded. Put all back in crockpot and cook 30 minutes longer, uncovered. Use a soup ladle to serve on warm buns. Even easier: To a bottle of purchased barbecue sauce, sprinkle in some chili powder, garlic powder and, if you want it sweeter, brown sugar to taste. Thin with a bit of the broth if you want. Again, cook about 30 minutes uncovered in the crockpot.

Health department to administer flu shots Even with the emergence of swine flu (H1N1) this year, seasonal influenza is still a concern. Seasonal influenza is a serious disease that results in 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations every year on average. Fortunately, there is a way to protect against the seasonal flu – getting an annual seasonal flu vaccine. The Northern Kentucky Health Department is encouraging any Northern Kentucky resident wanting to reduce his or her risk of getting seasonal influenza to be vaccinated this fall or early winter. The Health Department will offer the seasonal flu vaccine at four off-site clinics. This vaccine does not protect against swine flu. The clinics are open to the public and no appointment is necessary. Cost for the vaccine is $25. Medicare and Medicaid will be accepted. Residents of Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties will not be turned away due to inability to pay. All clinics will be open from 4 to 7 p.m. Dates and locations are as follows: • Monday, Oct. 12, at First Baptist Church of Walton, 47 S. Main St., Walton. • Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Erlanger branch of the Kenton County Public Library, 401 Kenton Lands Road, Erlanger. • Wednesday, Oct. 14, at

the Grant County Public Library, 201 Barnes Road, Williamstown. • Thursday, Oct. 15, at the First Baptist Church of Cold Spring, 4410 Alexandria Pike, Cold Spring. “While the swine flu virus has been the focus of attention since the spring, it is important that we do not forget the risks posed by seasonal influenza viruses,” said Steven R. Katkowsky, M.D., District Director of Health. “We expect that seasonal flu viruses will circulate this season along with swine flu. Thus, it is important to get a seasonal flu shot as soon as you are able to. We expect the swine flu vaccine to be available later in the year.” To encourage increased vaccination for children, the Health Department is offering pediatric and preservative-free doses of the seasonal flu vaccine. Flu vaccination is also strongly recommended for those who are at high-risk of developing complications from the flu, including: • People over age 65, especially those who have an underlying medical condition, such as heart disease or diabetes, or who have weakened immune systems

• Residents of long-term care facilities. • People with an underlying medical condition. • Pregnant women. • Health-care workers who have direct patient contact. • Family members of and out-of-home caregivers for children less than 6 months old. During the 2008-2009 flu season (Oct. 2008-September 2009), 842 cases of flu were reported from the Northern Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton. This year's seasonal flu vaccine is effective against viruses most likely to cause the seasonal flu, but not swine flu. The classic symptoms of influenza include sudden onset of chills, fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, dry cough and extreme fatigue. Children who develop flu symptoms should not be treated with aspirin or aspirin-containing medications, as it can lead to Reye's Syndrome. For more information on the seasonal and swine flu, please call the Health Department's flu information line at 859.392.0678 or visit http://www.nkyhealth.org.

Deadline nears for home tax credit days to close on a loan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with more stringent appraisal and disclosure requirements adding more time to the closing process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is crucial that those wanting to take advantage of the incentive realistically select a home by mid-October to meet the deadline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New homeowners have accounted for approximately one-third of recent home purchases,â&#x20AC;? added Jim Huff, CEO and president of HUFF Realty, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so clearly the program has been wildly successful. But like all good things, there is an end, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a chance to take

St. E offers screenings A simple, quick and painless screening could help you avoid a stroke or ruptured aneurysm. Stroke is the third largest cause of death in the U.S., often without warning signs or symptoms. The Wellness Imaging program with St. Elizabeth Healthcare offers ultrasound screening tests that can quickly detect abnormalities that could result in a stroke or ruptured aneurysm. Participants have three screening choices to choose from: â&#x20AC;˘ Stroke/Carotid Artery screening - uses an ultrasound scan of the carotid arteries in the neck and can reveal plaque buildup and potential blockages. â&#x20AC;˘ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening - a quick procedure that screens for enlargement or aneurysm in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery. â&#x20AC;˘ Peripheral Arterial Disease screening - screens for peripheral arterial disease in the lower extremities. An abnormal result may indicate an increased risk for peripheral and coronary artery disease. The upcoming screening schedule for October is as follows: â&#x20AC;˘ St. Elizabeth Edgewood - October 1 & 15 The cost is $45 for each screening and $120 for all three. There is a 5% discount for all St. Elizabeth PrimeWise members. For more information or to schedule a screening, please call St. Elizabeth Wellness Imaging at (859) 301-2992.

Wildlife webinar offered Nov. 17 Kenton County Cooperative Extension Service will offer a wildlife management webinar Nov. 17. The session is part of a series designed for woodland owners, farmers and others interested in woodland, timber and wildlife topics. This session will convene at 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the Kenton County extension office at 10990 Marshall Road, off KY 16 (Taylor Mill Road). The Kenton County extension office will be connected to the other sites through a Web-based conferencing system. UK Extension Wildlife Specialist, Tom Barnes will conduct this session. More information is available online at www.KentonCountyExtension.org or by contacting the Kenton County Cooperative Extension Service at 859-356-3155.

advantage of this opportunity.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This incentive has brought the dream of homeownership to literally thousands of individuals and families,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO of HomeServices of America, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but time is running out, and there are no guarantees at this point that Congress will extend the program.â&#x20AC;? The tax credit is available for homes purchased

before Dec. 1. Single-family, townhomes, or condominiums qualify for the tax credit, provided that the home is used as the principal residence. This also includes new construction homes if occupied by Dec. 1. The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000. Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to

$150,000 qualify for the full tax credit. This new tax credit can help ease the transition and help cover the new expenses that come with home ownership. The tax credit does not have to be repaid, as long as buyers stay in their new home for at least three years after purchase. IRS Form 5405 gives all the details and as always, consult with your personal tax adviser.

The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $8,000 tax credit for firsttime homebuyers has been extremely successful, but time is running out to capitalize on this unique opportunity. The tax credit, available for first-time homebuyers, as well as to individuals who have not owned a principal residence in the threeyear period prior to purchase, expires Nov. 30. That means that home loans closed past that date will not qualify. Since it generally takes a couple of weeks to negotiate a purchase, then 30 to 45

DISCOUNTED TICKETS Families walk for Children’s AVAILABLE! The Owen family of Northern Kentucky will walk in the fourth annual Cincinnati Walks for Kids benefiting Cincinnati Children's on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Coney Island. Registration and kids' activities begin at 8 a.m. and the walk will begin at 10 a.m. Larry and Serena Owen understand the importance of the walk all too well. Their two children, Destiny, 3, and Jibril, 15, have visited several divisions at the hospital including the Teen Health Center, occupational therapy, audiology and ophthalmology. Serena credits the doctors at Cincinnati Children's for saving Jibril's life. “After going to another doctor for several years, we never realized that Jibril had hypertension. The first time we brought him to Cincinnati Children's (a year and a half ago), they diagnosed him with it and told us that his blood pressure level was at stroke level,” Serena said. "We are grateful that the doctors at Cincinnati Children's took the time to properly diagnose Jibril and to educate us about his medical condition.” Jibril is now a healthy teenager who enjoys playing basketball. Destiny was born with developmental delays and when she first started visiting Cincinnati Children's two years ago, she had a tough time warming up to the doctors. But, over time, Child Life Specialists have helped

Destiny ease her fears of visiting the hospital and now her appointments go by smoothly. Serena said her family is grateful to everyone at Cincinnati Children's for helping her family. In fact, the family is so fond of the Family Resource Center staff and the Child Life Specialists that they have honored both departments by giving them plaques to show them how much they are appreciated. “The staff at Cincinnati Children's cares about their patients and they have been such a blessing to our family. Everyone there has helped our children to overcome daily obstacles and beat the odds,” Serena said. This will be the first year that the family will participate in the walk, and they're looking forward to their family and friends joining them. As a not-for-profit organization, Cincinnati Children's relies on events like Cincinnati Walks for Kids to help fund life-saving research, patient care and education. Cincinnati Walks for Kids is more than a fundraising walk. It's a day packed with family fun at Coney Island, a Queen City treasure for more than a century. The day will begin with an opening ceremony to honor patients, families and caregivers and thank the community for its commitment to Cincinnati Children's. Walkers may choose a 3-mile or 1-mile walk route. All walkers will receive a medal as they

cross the finish line, followed by a complimentary lunch. Throughout the day, participants can enjoy the Kids' Carnival, where children can make crafts, enjoy four amusement rides and have their faces painted. Families can also visit the remembrance garden, a serene setting to honor loved ones. “Families often tell us they are walking to support the courageous child in their life or to raise awareness for a childhood disease or hospital program they are passionate about,” said Christina Mihalek, walk coordinator. There is no registration fee to participate. Each walker is simply asked to raise at least $25. Walk participants can choose to donate their gifts to a particular program or division within the medical center, or have their gifts used to meet the hospital's greatest needs. Proceeds from the event will help provide hope and healing to the children and families cared for by Cincinnati Children's. People of all ages can participate in the walk. Strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are welcome. With the exception of service dogs, Coney Island does not allow pets on their property. For more information or to register to walk or support a walker, visit www.cincinnatichildrens.org/walk or call 513-636-2941.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
