Vigil for troops planned By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

A group of mothers are working to support the nation’s troops. The Northern Kentucky chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America will host a candlelight vigil in honor of soldiers who have served the United States military in the past and present. The vigil begins at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Florence Veteran’s Memorial, 8100 Ewing Blvd. “It’s just a way to show our respect to those in the military,” said Lorene Friedman, a member of the Blue Star Mothers. Blue Star Mothers is made up

of the mothers of soldiers and serves as a way for the mothers to support each other while their child is away. The group is working to get its name known, so even more mothers can be supported, said President Kimberly Piol. “We want to know every mother in our area who doesn’t know we exist,” Piol said. The city of Florence recognized the help the group could offer with the vigil and allowed them to use the Veteran’s Memorial, Friedman said. “Without the support of the officials of the city, Blue Star Mothers would still be struggling to be recognized,” she said.

During the vigil, there will be guest speakers and musicians. Gold Star Mothers will be the guests of honor, Friedman said. Gold Star Mothers are women whose children died serving their country. “There’ll be no fanfare or anything; they’ll just be our honored guests,” Friedman said. This will be the first vigil the group hosts at the memorial, but Piol plans to make it an annual event. “Please come and support those who are fighting or who have fought,” she said.

Air guitar heroes to invade store By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

While it is a long way to the top if you want to rock ’n’ roll, for one day it only takes two arms a little bit of creativity. Willis Music on Mall Road is hosting its second annual air guitar contest at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22. To compete, contestants just need to bring a CD of the music to perform to and a little bit of style, said Manager Rick Fuchs. “More than anything, it’s putting on a stage show,” Fuchs said.

HAVING MORE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS IS NOT THE SAME

AS HAVING MORE MONEY.

To learn how consolidating your retirement accounts to Edward Jones could make sense for you, call today.

Fuchs advises preparing a flashy performance because many will take the competition seriously. “We want some music that will move the audience,” he said. The contest is centered around a promotion the store is currently running based on air guitars where customers can “trade in” their air guitar for money off a B.C. Rich guitar, Fuchs said. “People will say, ‘That’s a great looking Stratocaster air guitar we can trade in,’” he said. Keeping with the air guitar theme, the store will have empty guitar stands with tags marking

whose air guitar it is holding. “We’re looking to have fun with it,” Fuchs said. Once the contest has been judged by one of Willis’s guitar instructors, the winner’s air guitar will be replaced by a top prize of a B.C. Rich guitar. After the contest, the party continues with a CD release concert from the local metal band Vexing Souls. Registration for the contest ends at 10:30 a.m. the day of the event.

Tag-teaming thieves are making jewelry stores think hard about how to protect their goods. A growing tactic for jewelry thieves is to have someone distract a store employee while one or more others take merchandise. “It is not uncommon for two people to work together in a theft of this kind,” said Capt. John McDermond of the Florence Police Department. “ S i n c e “It is not most jewelry uncommon for is kept in a case of some two people to sort, store work together e m p l o y e e s would need to in a theft of be distracted this kind.” to allow Capt. John someone to McDermond reach into a and Florence Police case remove jewelDepartment ry,” McDermond said. Earlier this year, Hannoush Jewelers in the Florence Mall had more than $86,000 worth of merchandise taken when three men took nine pieces of jewelry, including a piece with a 1.5 carat diamond valued close to $18,000, according to a report filed by the Florence Police Department. Dealing with thieves who work together to distract employees in order to take merchandise is not easy, said Hallie Hittner, an employee of Benson Jewelers on Pleasant Valley Road. “There’s not really much you can do,” Hittner said. The store works to make sure employees are able to keep watch on everyone in the store, she said. “We never take more than one item out at a time,” Hittner said. When a customer asks to see multiple items, employees make sure to put an item away and lock its case before pulling out the next item, she said. Keeping the cases locked works well in preventing anyone from reaching in and taking anything, Hittner said. After a theft happens, making an arrest can be difficult. At the Florence Mall J.C. Penney last month, surveillance cameras caught a woman being shown jewelry by an employee while the man she was with reached around the corner of the counter and took around $8,000 worth of diamond rings. Even after checking for witnesses and asking the public for help, the Florence Police Department haven’t made any arrests in the case, McDermond said.

The home is located in the 2600 block of Berwood Lane. He had been staying there for the past seven to 10 days. He was charged with alcohol intoxication, giving an officer a false name and failure to comply with the sex offender registry. A deputy found Povaleri in a vehicle at the end of Youell Road near Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport property.

Schickel pays state

Taxpayers paid $120.55 in expenses for state Sen. John Schickel to attend a concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverbend Music Center in June â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

though he reimbursed the state after questions were raised about the payment. The concert fell during a special session of the General Assembly, and the payment to Schickel covered the cost of driving the 201-mile round trip from Frankfort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the standard legislative reimbursement rate of 55 cents per mile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus $10 for dinner, according to the travel voucher Schickel submitted. But Schickel, R-Union, acknowledged in an interview that the payment was a result of a series of mistakes by himself and staff. And when The Courier-Journal sought documents on the payment in an Open Records Act request two weeks ago, he reimbursed the state for $120.55. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was a misunderstanding,â&#x20AC;? Schickel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take full responsibility for it. It was an oversight on my part and I should pay more attention to details.â&#x20AC;? The ethics code governing lawmakers allows the state to reimburse a legislator for expenses such as travel, lodging, meals that are associated with trips â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but only if

the trip is related to legislative duties. Schickel acknowledged that his trip was strictly to attend the concert. Kentucky News Service

54 pot plants found

Officers trying to serve a warrant found 54 marijuana plants at a Florence home, police said. Officers went to the home in the 10 block of Cardinal Drive to arrest Anthony J. Ahlbrand, 37, on a warrant for failing to appear in court. While approaching the house officers saw two people smoking marijuana in the living room, said Sgt. Tom Grau. When talking to the people inside, officers smelled marijuana then decided to get a search warrant. In a bedroom closet officers found several marijuana plants, he said.

Teen killed on U.S. 42 City has been concerned about intersection By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

Union Mayor Don Kirby is upset. For the second time in four years, a pedestrian has been fatally hit at the intersection of U.S. 42 and Mount Zion Road. In an e-mail to the

Recorder, Kirby said the city’s concerns about the safety of the 55 mph speed limit (on U.S. 42) were voiced before the highway was built. He said the city has also requested the speed limit be decreased a number of times since the road opened and it’s been denied. U.S. 42 and Mount Zion Road are state roads. “Moving traffic swiftly should not trump the safety of those walking or biking along that route,” he said. “The successful implementation of our town center (a planned mixed-used development) cannot be accomplished without addressing

the pedestrian safety concerns at that intersection (which is at the heart of our town center). No one is going to want to shop, dine, and walk along a stretch where cars are buzzing by at 60 mph.” It’s not known how fast the motorist was driving that struck 18-year-old Glennis Christophel of Anderson Township, Ohio, at approximately 9 p.m. Aug. 12. Christophel was crossing U.S. 42 from Mount Zion Road near the Union City Building when he was hit by a southbound driver on U.S. 42. Friend Eddie Johnson said traffic was clear and Christophel came running across and as soon as he got to the curb, a car smacked him, sending the teen about 14 feet in the air. “I saw one of my best friends get hit by a car and killed,” said Johnson, 19, Union. Jason Chisholm, 18, Florence, was driving a Dodge four-door passenger car

Glennis Christophel of Anderson Township, Ohio, was crossing U.S. 42 at Mount Zion Road from the Union City Building when he was struck by a car. south on U.S. 42 in the curb lane when he hit Christophel, the Boone County Sheriff’s Department said. Christophel was taken to St. Elizabeth Florence and pronounced dead. The sheriff’s department is investigating the accident and as of Aug. 14, Chisholm hadn’t been charged. Kim Rice, 48, Union, was struck by a car around 10:10 p.m. on June 3, 2005, while he was crossing the intersection. He died two days later. Boone County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Tom Scheben said he remembers the

investigation indicating that Rice was crossing against the light and it was dark. In the aftermath of the 2005 fatal accident, Rice’s sister Denice Rader, 55, Crittenden, sought changes be made to the intersection, including having the speed limit lowered on U.S. 42 to either 35 mph or 45 mph. Following the Aug. 12 fatality, she said if the speed limit were lower in that area, people would be more safe. She said it’s rare that anybody coming through that intersection is not speeding. Nancy Wood, a spokeswoman with Kentucky

Transportation Cabinet, said pedestrian poles were moved closer to the crosswalk after Rice was hit. Sherry Johnson, 61, lives two doors down from the intersection on Mount Zion Road. She said “they’re going to have to do something” as people really fly through that light but lowering the speed limit wouldn’t do any good. Wood said since spring of 2005 to this past July, there have been 20 accidents at the intersection. She said the state doesn’t have all of the pieces yet for an evaluation.

The R.C. Durr YMCA in Burlington has been chosen to participate in a program about reducing childhood obesity. A total of 16 communities in three states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kentucky, Connecticut and Tennessee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were picked. The YMCA said the communities will be part of Y-USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Activate America: Pioneering Healthier Communities initiative. The R.C. Durr YMCA already has childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness programs, including a program called Family Fit for ages 9-10. After completing a class, parents are required to work out with their child at all times. Trisha Rayner, executive director of the R.C. Durr YMCA, said the grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control looks at communities that can affect policy in regards to childhood obesity. She said the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department and the Kenton and Campbell County YMCAs will be working with the R.C. Durr YMCA. She said this grant gives officials the opportunity to work with multiple agencies and talk about how they can do this in a more effective way across the commmunity to make it healthier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) not just about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on at the Y or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in another organization. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about) how can we collectively make our community better and healthier,â&#x20AC;? she said. The YMCA said the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has committed $6.8 million over five years to support the expansion of Y-USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PHC initiative. The 16 communities are the first group to be funded by the foundation. Communities in three more states will be picked next year. The YMCA said each team will receive funding over a twoyear period to cover training and seed the implementation of a community action plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PHC is helping communities to make healthy behaviors an easier choice, not just the healthier choice,â&#x20AC;?

Neil Nicoll, YMCA of the USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating are laying a foundation to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases that have taken such a serious toll on individuals throughout our communities.â&#x20AC;?

The Boone County Fiscal Court has decided to keep property tax rates the same this year as in 2008 but the decision could result in budget cuts later. The Fiscal Court voted 31 at its Aug. 11 meeting. Commissioner Cathy Flaig cast the lone vote against Judge-Executive Gary Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion. The rates, per $100 of assessed value, will be 10.2 cents for real property (real estate), 15.4 cents for personal property (such items as inventory), 15.6 cents for motor vehicles, 15.4 cents for aircraft and 15.6 for watercraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, with the economy, our people and our businesses are struggling to make ends meet and now is not the time to be raising taxes,â&#x20AC;?

cents or 10.1 cents. Those rates would have resulted in even higher shortfalls. She said after the meeting she proposed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I always believe in less taxing. I think right now people are looking for tax relief.â&#x20AC;? Staff had recommended the Fiscal Court adopt a real property rate of 10.5 cents, a personal property rate of 15.8 cents and to keep the motor vehicle rate at 15.6 cents. That would have resulted in the budget being short by $5,392. The rates proposed by staff were below what the state said the county could have passed, either the compensating rate or the 4 percent rate. The compensating rate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the rate that gets approximately the same amount of revenue from real property as the previous year, excluding new and personal property â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was 10.9 cents.

School attendance rivalry involves ‘friendly trash talk’ By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

There’s a new competition in Walton-Verona Schools, and all it takes to win is showing up. The district recently purchased two trophies for the schools to fight for – one for the school with the highest monthly attendance and the other larger one for the school with the best attendance for the school year. At the school board meetings the monthly trophy will be awarded to the winning school and the annual trophy will be passed on each year. Before the middle school was

added to the district, the elementary and high schools would have a friendly competition for attendance, said Director of Student Services Pam Sayler. “There’s always been some rivalry between the two schools,” Sayler said. With the third school open, the district decided to make the competition official, she said. “We discussed ways to get the kids involved with it,” Saylor said. The way to get kids interested was to provide something students could see as the fruit of their labor, she said. The yearly trophy will spend its

first year in the elementary school, which won by slim margins over the other schools. “It just goes to show how great our school is,” said Principal Robert Hartman. To celebrate the win, the school will likely have some kind of fun event in the coming school year, Hartman said. Having the trophy in the school will definitely give some bragging rights, but it will also make the competition more fierce, he said. “I would imagine it would increase the friendly trash talk,” Hartman said.

Be alert for school buses As students head back to class, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is reminding motorists to be alert for school buses taking to the highways. “Our children are our most precious resource,” said Transportation Secretary Joe Prather. “As classes resume for the fall, we want to remind everyone to be alert for school buses and youngsters getting to and from school.” Kentucky school buses log about 110 million miles each year and transport around 455,000 students daily, according to the Kentucky Department of Education. About 10,000 buses operate across the state each school day. “There are approximately 170 elementary, middle and high schools in our 11-county district. Motorists need to be aware of the thousands of students, school buses and parents traveling during their commute to and from school,” said Rob Hans, chief district engineer for KYTC District 6, which covers Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Owen, Pendleton and Robertson counties. Motorists are reminded of the following safety tips: • Allow yourself enough time to get to school or to work. Leave earlier to avoid speeding to get to your destination on time. • Obey all school-zone signs. Flashing yellow lights are there to remind you to reduce your speed. • Pay extra attention at crosswalks. Take an extra look to be

sure that no student is crossing. • Obey all signs, safety patrol and officers in your school’s dropoff zone. • Watch for stopped school buses. On two-lane highways, motorists traveling in either direction must stop when a school bus has its flashing lights activated and stop arm extended. On a four- or five-lane highway, motorists are required to stop when school buses traveling in the same direction are stopped to pick up or drop off children. Pay close attention to children on or near the roadway. School buses offer the safest transportation for students, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Statistics indicate that students are more likely to be injured while waiting for, approaching, or getting on or off a school bus. On average, seven passengers die each year on board school buses, but 19 are killed while getting on or off buses, according to NHTSA. “The biggest concern is motorists who illegally pass stopped school buses,” said Chuck Geveden, executive director of the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. “Failure to stop for a school bus can mean life or death for a child.” Nationwide, school buses provide 10 billion trips per year and transport 25 million children daily to and from schools and schoolrelated activities, according to the National Association for Pupil Transportation.

Students travel for term Two natives of Florence who are current students at Transylvania University recently enjoyed unique out-of-the-classroom learning experiences during Transylvania’s May term. Joshua Schwartz traveled to New York City to study fine arts, while Lindsay Cahill traveled through Spain and France exploring views on nutrition and lifestyle and comparing them with American views. May term affords Transylvania students and professors the opportunity to explore a subject in depth by spending four weeks focused on a single course. Often, these courses incorporate off-campus activities, including travel to destinations in the U.S. and abroad. This year’s May term travel courses had students studying nutrition in France and Spain, theater and music in New York City, forensic accounting and fraud examination in the Cayman Islands, politics and culture in Ireland, writing in Ireland and the ancient polis in Greece. The Introduction to the Fine Arts course traveled to New York

City where Schwartz was introduced to a survey of basic ideas, guiding principles and historical and contemporary practices in art, drama and music. The class visited various museums and theater productions in the city. Schwartz, a chemistry and biology double major, is a senior at the university. He is the son of Kevin and Brigid Schwartz of Florence. Cahill traveled with the Diet, Nutrition and Culture course to northern Spain and southern France to study the lifestyle, diet and culture of these two regions and compare them to an American lifestyle, diet and culture. The class visited the rural Basque region of northern Spain, metropolitan Barcelona and the renowned culinary area of Provence in southern France where they attended cooking classes, visited food markets in several areas and a chocolate factory near Barcelona. Cahill, a biology major, is a senior at the university. She is the daughter of Mark and Judith Cahill of Florence.

The next time you complain that there is nothing on, remember that you can always watch the birth of the universe. Bill Bryson “A Short History of Nearly Everything” 2) “The music of the spheres,” the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination. As music critic John Rockwell commented, “Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians who believed in the ancient Music of the Spheres were on to something. There is such a music, and it’s the note B-flat.” Rockwell refers to the fact that in 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a “cosmic hum” emanating from black holes with “a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.” Among musicologists, this news from outer space has sparked an Internet quest for the emotional and aesthetic significance of Bflat …” Elizabeth Michael Boyle “Science as Sacred Metaphor” 3) “Why do kids today wear their baseball caps the wrong way round? asked someone wearing his peakforward. “Two reasons,” said Kipling … First, you need ask yourself what signals a

One answer is brute physical strength. Now, consider the baseball cap. Worn in the traditional style it offer protection against the sun and also the gaze of aggressive competitors. By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesn’t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength. Julian Baggini “The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten”

religious terms that more often than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence. Therefore, you may expect people to draw back from talking about their religion and their spirituality, and to be afraid of encountering incomprehension if not down right rejection. Agneta Schreurs

4) For the first time in human history belief in God has become implausible in Western civilization, and to the very same extent it had been plausible for earlier generations. As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in

How to pickle that peck of peppers

When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters Sonia Ervin, Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilson’s mom. Ron is our gardening columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ron’s radio show. Nell’s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nell’s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if you’ve never canned, I hope you try a batch. You’ll be glad you did when you compare the price

Nell Wilson’s famous pickled peppers

*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; I’ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine, and go from there. (Someone told me you could also use Splenda).

If you have extremely hot peppers, though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my mom’s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so it’s up to you. As far as the yield, I don’t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.

Sterilizing jars

Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until you’re ready to fill.

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Rita’s herb goat cheese log.

Brine

6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water 1 ⁄2 to 2 cups sugar (see note above)* Bring brine to a boil. Let boil gently as you fill jars.

Prepare peppers

Wash. Leave whole with a slit down the center, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove seeds if I slice them, but this is optional. Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on. No need to process these as the vinegar keeps bacteria out. Jars will seal on their own – you’ll hear little “pings” as the seal completes. Any that don’t seal just put in fridge. Chill in refrigerator before serving.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

• The lids are a twoparter: a flat seal and a ring. The rings are reusable; the seals are not. • Video for pickling peppers on abouteating.com.

Rita’s goat cheese log

So easy and so impressive. Just roll a goat cheese log into some chopped herbs and/or edible flowers. Choose one or two or a lot, like parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary (not too much), chives, thyme, sage, nasturtiums, rose petals, etc. Delicious with French bread or crackers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Simple beats stupid

Ten members of the Gray Middle School Archery Club cleaned up three miles of roadway trash in southwestern Boone County on a recent Saturday. Walking along in the rain with one parent for every two students it took 16 of us to clean up other people’s thoughtless mess. The humidity, flies, gnats and mosquitos were gross. It took several hours to pick up the litter put there by whom: us, our neighbors, visitors to our river playland? The trash we collected was what we expected: cans (beer and soda); plastic bottles (beer and water); and paper food wrappers. What was disgusting was the bugs living inside that crawled out as we placed the trash into bags. Animals could get sick from this if they are looking for food. Why do people toss out garbage? Why not keep a bag for trash in your car? Simple beats stupid. Let’s keep our community clean and show its beauty to us and visitors to our area. Susan Schneider Ash Creek Drive Union

Excellent leadership

The announcement of the retirement of Cindy Brown as the director of the Boone County Public Library prompts me to provide a comment on her leadership and the library. My wife and I are frequent users of this library, as we have been with libraries in the other cities and states where we have lived. This has been, without a doubt, the best library experience we have ever had. The expansion of the system has kept pace with the growth in the county, the collection has grown commensurately and the facilities are welcoming. It is up to date in electronic resources. It is a comfortable place for both adults and children. But more importantly, people like to come to this library, for all sorts of reasons. The staff always exhibit helpful and innovative responses to any request. The library has not clung to the many

Raw deal for Rose

I still cannot believe Pete Rose can’t get into the Hall of Fame. Yes, he gambled on his team but he manned up on it and did his punishment. But all these other sports figures do illegal performance enhancing drugs, have DUI’s, dog fighting, and various other illegal activities. They keep their jobs. Even the ones who do jail time get to come back. What Pete Rose did was not any worse than what these people did. So, why can’t he get in the Hall of Fame when these other people are not being penalized like him? Terrie Pullen Westland Drive Burlington

What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “I remember teachers and other staff who encouraged me, challenged me and helped equip me with tools for life. I remember a few teachers and staff who contributed very little to my education. I learned life lessons from both groups.” G.G. “Being hall monitor, having free roam of the playground which had lots of trees and sandboxes, after lunch you could buy a ticket for a nickel to see a movie in the auditorium (usually it was Laurel and Hardy serials) or you could choose to go to the library instead or you could just go home for lunch. No school buses; we walked come rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow. Our school lunches were 20 cents and all the pies were made there in the kitchen.

The approach of the 1811 bicentennial provides ample time to pursue and study the fascinating history and natural occurrences which took place that year. In retrospect, 1811 was named Annus Mirabilis – the year of wonders. The political climate in the United States that year was getting tense. James Madison, in his State of the Union address (which was not delivered in person to Congress, but by hand-written letter to the Clerk’s table and read aloud by the Speaker of the House), was urging Congress to prepare for defensive action from impending threats to our national safety from the British and the French on the maritime front and from the ever more powerful and influential Indian chief, Tecumseh, who was successfully organizing and uniting all the Indian Nations within the interior to stop the white man’s suffocating presence and to take back their lands. Tecumseh wasn’t advocating treaties: he knew it would only be accomplished by war and complete extirpation. Of course, Britain was watching Tecumseh’s activities very closely and encouraging him along the way. In his attempt to negotiate peace with Tecumseh and his brother, The Prophet, back in 1806, William Henry Harrison (then governor of the Indiana Ter-

Don Clare Boone County Historic Preservation Review Board

ritory) challenged The Prophet to produce a miracle to prove he was as great a prophet and leader as he claimed. Having had some advanced scientific knowledge garnered from some astronomers Tecumseh ran into during some of his travels, the great Indian leader told his brother to predict a Black Sun which would cover the entire world in darkness during the day. This was the June 16, 1806, total eclipse of the sun. Tecumseh’s and his brother’s stock among the Indian Nations gained exponential momentum after that trick. Tecumseh’s name, given him at birth by his father, the chief, indicated that he was destined for greatness as a leader and a warrior. His name meant “Shooting Star” or “One Who Walks across the Sky.” The Great Comet of 1811 was visible in the night sky all over the globe for many months in 1811. The Great Comet last appeared in the sky 3,065 years before that. It was at its brightest intensity here when it preceded the great New Madrid earthquakes of Dec. 16, 1811. Tecumseh had been leaving bundles of red sticks with each tribe he visited. Each moon, they were to burn one stick and Tecumseh said when the pile was gone,

he would stomp his foot down upon the ground and the whole earth would shake and quiver. That would be the signal for all the tribes to gather together to attack and make war upon the whites. Tecumseh most certainly knew the day of the solar eclipse in 1806. But could he really have known the date for the worst Midwestern earthquake in history, in a geologically unlikely midsection of a tectonic plate such as New Madrid? And how could his father have known so many years back about a comet that appears every 3,065 years? Was it all coincidence or was it just part of Annus Mirabilis?

Speak out on Florence taxes On Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. there will be a meeting at the Florence Government Center to discuss the upcoming increase in the tax rate for the property taxes for our homes, our cars or other tangible taxable items, and an increase in the hazardous pension fund. The property tax rate for our homes has a proposed increase of 4.5 percent, the tax rate on autos and other tangible taxable items is to go up 14 percent, and the increase in the hazardous pension fund is to go up 16.6 percent. This comes at a time when we are told most are struggling to pay their mortgages, put food on the table, or just hang onto their job. The city has no regard for your problems, they only care about how they can get more money into the city coffers to pay for the things they like to spend your money on. Let’s say, how about a million dollars for the replacement of the

turf at the Champion Window Field and don’t forget the mayor decided to allow the Freedom to pay $100,000 less per quarterly lease payment due to the fact they are having cash flow problems. The baseball fiasco is not the only place where our money is flowing. Let’s go ahead and spend almost $4 million on the World of Sports golf course, which loses a mere $100,000 per year and this year is scheduled to lose $375,000. Don’t forget the building of a senior citizen center at a cost of $1.3 million from the city and $500,000 from the state if the grant is approved. It is a fact that the average cost to the city is $89,000 per employee per year. This is for their salary, benefits, days off, matching Social Security,

long-term disability, and any other perk they might receive. That means that half the employees are costing the city less than $89,000 and the other half is costing more than $89,000. The city employs around 200 people and as the mayor says this is to continue the level of service that the citizens of Florence have come to expect. I don’t know about you but I think it is about time this kind of out of control spending stops and some one gets a handle on what is going on in Florence. I realize most people are thinking about national politics at this time, and while your attention is away from the home front, the local politicians are planning to increase your costs only to enhance their spending ways. Try to make the meeting so that your voice can be heard. Larry Braden is a resident of Kathryn Avenue in Florence.

Rebels to rely on offense early in season By James Weber jweber@nky.com

It’s no secret that many successful Boone County High School football teams have had running backs with gaudy numbers for a

season. That’s why Drew Lipscomb also has his Rebels’ teammates in mind when he wants teammate Charles Quainoo to reach a statistical milestone. “We’ll try to send Charles

We’ll just hope for the best.” Quainoo, a senior and high college prospect, rushed for 1,887 yards and 21 touchdowns last year despite being set back by injuries late in the year. “I’m part of a good line of running backs and I’m proud to be one of them,” Quainoo said. “It is going to be an exciting year. We have a young team, and we’re going to try to build on last year. If we can come together, be as one, we’ll be very successful.” Quainoo will be part of a potentially dynamic offense for the Rebels this season, as they try to improve on last year’s 9-4 record and loss in the state quarterfinals. Jordan Oppenheimer should get key carries as the second tailback, said Boone County head coach Rick Thompson. Meanwhile, senior Nate Alford returns for his second

The Rebels get ready to call a play during practice Aug. 11. year as starting quarterback. He was also hurt for several games last year, and he adds balance to the attack. “At the end of the year (Quainoo) wasn’t healthy, but the good part was Jordan Oppenheimer got some work at tailback,” Thompson said. “We have the luxury of having a couple of backs who have carried the load. “The key is Nate Alford. He was really coming on when he got hurt and that gives us another dimension because Nate can run with it and throw. That will be a

key for us.” Top receivers are Oppenheimer, Caden Doyle, Matt Behne, John McGarr and Trevan Brown. Lipscomb and Blake Noel are returning starters on the offensive line. Effective offense will be important early as the Rebels only return two starters on defense in lineman Adam Sunderhaus and linebacker Jake Deason. Sunderhaus led the team in sacks last year. “We always come out and are a hard-nosed

team,” Deason said. “We never give up. We have strong leadership from the older guys. We have a lot of young guys stepping up this year.” The Rebels have a tough schedule that starts with Lexington Lafayette Aug. 29. Thompson expects his young defense to be challenged early. “When you have to replace nine guys defensively and some of them were two- or three-year starters, you have to be patient,” Thompson said. “It will take a little time to get to the level we want to be at.”

Ryle Raiders aim for state finals By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The seniors on the Ryle High School football team were freshmen when the Raiders lost to Trinity in the 2006 4A state championship game, the only time Ryle has advanced that far in the playoffs. Some of them got on the field in that game, others stood on the sideline, some sat in the stands. All of them want to get back there this season in their last season. “I played in that game and it was indescribable,” senior tight end/defensive lineman Tate Nichols said. “It was not like playing on a Friday night. It was completely different and I want to get back there.” Nichols, an imposing physical presence who has verbally committed to Stanford as a tight end, is one of seven returning starters on offense and five on defense. Head coach Bryson Warner is excited about the speed and depth of his team. “We’ve got a really good group,” Warner said. “They’re very teamfocused, a bunch of guys willing to do whatever is best for the team.” Nichols, who missed half

Mace Nichols “Tate is everything you want in a young person,” Warner said. “He’s very smart, one of the biggest people I’ve ever seen on a high school football field. He’s very team-focused and he’s a great leader. As good a tight end as he is, I’m not sure if he’s not a better defensive end.” Ryle went 5-6 in 2008, losing to Henry Clay in the first round of the 6A playoffs. Nichols is part of a potentially dynamic offense, with junior Conner Hempel returning for his second year at quarterback, and leading rushers Kiefer Eubank and Travis Elliot back, both speedsters. Hempel had 17 TDs last year. Trent Fugate has been the top receiver in the preseason. “(Hempel) is very competitive; he demands perfection from himself and his teammates,” Warner said. “He has the tools to be a Division I quarterback. (Elliot) has a tremendous amount of tools. We have to be smart where he should play. He’s really worked hard in the weight room and it has spread throughout the team.” The defense has plenty of veteran talent, including Nichols, Court Mace, Bill Pedersen and Brandon Loschiavo on the line. Luke Boggs, Logan Hollman and Logan Carney return in the secondary.

Boggs, a junior, is one of the fastest players on the team. The Logans are both seniors who were in the stadium for the 2006 state final but didn’t play. And they have both made great strides in their games since then. “Carney is pound for pound one of the hardest hitters we’ve ever had here,” Warner said. “He has great speed and football sense. He knows where the ball is going before it does. He’s fun to coach. “Hollman has gone from a freshman who weighed about 120 pounds and started for us because he was so smart - now he has grown into a man. He has improved his speed more than anyone else we have had in this program.” They’re embracing their roles as senior leaders. “It means a lot,” Carney said. “Others look up to us and work off what we do, so we have to lead by example on the field and in the locker room. We have to show them what Ryle football is all about.” Mace, a junior d-end, had three brothers go through the program before him in recent years, and they have been an inspiration to him. “Last year I was a small defensive end,” he said. “I was usually the smallest player on the field. Now I’m a lot stronger.” Warner said he has a toughness you really need on the field. “He has those attributes that make you a tough football player,” Warner said. Ryle was a fairly young team last year and hopes to reap that experience this fall.

Warner is well aware of the annual toughness of the local 6A district, and that a bad year could leave the Raiders at home watching the playoffs. That’s why Warner stacked the early schedule with local powers, starting with Covington Catholic Aug. 21 at home. The Raiders have a home-andhome with two-time defending 5A state champ Highlands – this year – Aug. 28 and Oct. 30. “Some people say we were out of our mind,” Warner said.

JAMES WEBER/STAFF

Ryle High School junior quarterback Conner Hempel makes a pass in practice. “When you have a district like that, you have to prepare intensely for it. Playing teams like Highlands and CovCath and Dixie, we feel, are the only ways to prepare for our district. We feel it’s more important to compete than to just get wins. You have to be prepared every single week.”

Jaguars look to improve in 2nd year By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Matt Rudd expects a better season for the Cooper High School football team this year. It may not be a bold statement from the senior running back/linebacker, as the Jaguars went 2-8 in the school’s first year of existence. But the Jags are far removed from the expected chaos that welcomed them into varsity competition last fall. Last year, the Jaguars had no on-campus fieldhouse until the season began, and no team togetherness until early in the summer as students came from the other three schools in the Boone County school district. “Last year I knew about three or four people and

now I know the whole team,” Rudd said. “We’re close now. It’s a lot easier now. Last year we had to bring our helmets home and we had nothing.” Randy Borchers, the former Ludlow head coach who started the Cooper program last year, said the team knows what to expect from each other now. “The biggest thing is our offseason conditioning,” he said. “Last year, most of the kids were not in the weight room all winter long. We were able to get these kids in there this year and we’re a lot stronger. We’ve seen a big difference this year in spring ball from where we were at last year.” Getting to know each other has been a big plus for the Jaguars. “Our biggest strength is our work ethic,” Borchers said. “They’re working

We have more of a bond and more of a team atmosphere in the locker room,” he said. A helpful key for the Jaguars this year could be the schedule. Last year, they had to play their 6A foes early in the year because that was the only place they would fit. Borchers said early lopsided losses to those teams hurt the team’s confidence. This year, those games are later in the season, and Borchers said the team hopes to have more competitive games early in the schedule. “If we can go 5-5, that will be a great goal,” he said. “We have a very tough

Cooper football coach Randy Borchers addresses the team after a preseason practice. district. To have any chance of competing at all in that district, you have to get prepared in the early going. We feel we have four teams off the bat that will be very competitive for us. We feel if we play our game we can compete and have a chance to win in the fourth quarter.” Borchers said his main concern in the preseason is depth, where the team has a lot of sophomores as backups. Utz was a backup last year but is one of the players who has benefited from a year in the system.

“In spring ball he was a totally different person,” Borchers said. “The offseason conditioning was huge for him. He’s not as vocal, quiet, leads by example. He’s one of the first ones on the field.” Cody Johnson, an offensive lineman/linebacker, is a key leader on the team. “He really understands what we’re looking for,” Borchers said. “He’s calling the defensive schemes. The kids look up to him. He’s worked extremely hard in the weight room. He’s by far our biggest leader. Rudd, a linebacker, came

Bearcats set sights on playoffs By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Walton-Verona High School football team won an impressive four games in its first varsity season in 2008. T h e Bearcats weren’t sati s f i e d , though, knowing their last three losses Barth were by a combined 10 points. So their goal this season is to get even more wins. Those will be more meaningful wins, too, as the Bearcats are eligible for the KHSAA playoffs in Class 1A this season. W-V will be in the Northern Kentucky district with defending state champ Beechwood as well as Bellevue, Dayton, Ludlow and Bishop Brossart. “It’s going to be fun this year,” senior receiver/defensive back Ryan Hardman said. “Now we have a chance to be in the playoffs and have something to fight for. It’s exciting. We had

Burt Hardman Middle School in Taylor Mill. He replaces Woody McMillen, who founded the program but resigned to take care of his ailing father. Barth, a 1995 Highlands graduate, played football there and was later an assistant coach at South Oldham High School for six years. “I’m excited,” he said. “They want to learn. They’re upbeat, they work hard and they listen. Our

Rodriguez Taylor expectation is to make the playoffs and to host a playoff game. We have some work to do to get there. Not too many first-year programs win four games, so we think that’s a good start.” Barth said he returns about 12 players with significant varsity experience from last year. He said the Bearcats are strongest in the skill positions – like Hardman, a safety and receiver

who is a playcaller on the defense. “Some places you get seniors who look down on the underclassmen,” Barth said. “This guy is looking to bring them along.” Hardman said football is his favorite sport. “I love being out here. It’s hard sometimes but it’s fun,” he said. Adam Burt, a senior tight end/defensive end, is a strong leader for the team. “One of those guys you wish you had 40 of them,” Barth said. “He hustles, motor never stops, good leader, strong in the classroom.” According to Burt, “Football is about working as hard as you possibly can and pushing it every time. If you make a mistake, you make it 100 percent.” Cory Taylor is a senior linebacker/running back whom Barth said is a hardnosed player “He’ll make guys miss in the open field, but he’s not afraid to look for a guy to run over, either,” Barth said. “We’ve got a stronger team than we’ve had in the beginning,” Taylor said. I’m excited, confident in my teammates. We can win a lot of games. I think we’ll make it to the playoffs.” Luis Rodriguez, a senior cornerback/receiver/kicker, is a strong-legged kicker and also one of the fastest players on the team. Nolan Daugherty, a sophomore, is the starter at quarterback. Former QB

on strong last season at the end and also plays fullback. “Last year we had about five seniors, now we have over 10,” Rudd said. “Last year they didn’t want to speak up and this year we’re not afraid to step up because we know they’ll listen.” On offense, Cooper returns nine starters including receivers Brett Berry, Ryan Klute and Nick Ballinger, who combined for most of the catches. The Jags have to replace graduated QB Chad Romero. Tommy Earsing is a also a senior returning starter. Winning two games last year against Walton-Verona and Gallatin County were huge for the team’s confidence. “We’re a lot farther along this year,” Benson said. “We were still installing basic plays last year. The wins were big for us. That let us know that we could do it.”

Being a part of it this year is pretty amazing.”

T h e o f f e n s e returns nine Walker starters from a year ago and will be a challenge for opposing defenses to stop. The Indians made some changes to the offense in the offseason, based on the returning personnel. Four out of the five starting offensive linemen return from the 2008 season and they will lead the way for a talented group of skill players. Senior quarterback Markel Walker will be asked to throw the ball more this season. He is always a threat to break a big run when he touches the football. “We revamped the offense based on the success our skill position players had late in the season

The Holy Cross Indians get together after practice Aug. 11. last year,” head coach Bruce Kozerski said. “We will run plays out of the spread this year.” Leading rusher Andy Roenker returns and will be joined in the backfield by fellow senior Brayson Smith. Roenker rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season and Smith added more than 600 yards on the ground. Walker ran for nearly 700 yards last season. Wide receiver Jordan Norris will be Walker’s main passing target. “We have high expectations of ourselves with so many returning starters,” said Kozerski. Walker and Norris will

both start on defense, at free safety and cornerback, respectively. Walker projects as a college prospect in the secondary. Senior Paul Rafizedah also returns at cornerback opposite Norris. Senior Robert Ziegler will round out a very talented and experienced secondary, playing the other safety spot. Six starters return on defense for the Indians. The one position group short on experience is the defensive line, where the Indians will need to replace both starting defensive ends from 2008. Other than that, the Indians are experienced and talented at every position

group. “We have a lot of experience on both sides of the ball,” said Kozerski, in his sixth year as Holy Cross head coach. “This is as much talent as I’ve ever had here.” The biggest challenge for Holy Cross will be overtaking district champ Newport Central Catholic. The Indians finished last season 4-8 overall but advanced to the second round of the Class 2A playoffs. The goal for 2009 is to make an even deeper postseason run. “We need to get past quality teams in the playoffs,” said Kozerski. “We

Roasting sunflower seeds Q. How do you roast sunflower seeds? A. You can easily roast the raw, mature seeds of sunflowers with or without salt. If you do not want salted seeds, just skip the soaking step. Combine one-fourth to one-half cup salt with eight cups of water. Soak the unhulled seeds overnight in the brine solution. Drain the brine and pat the seeds dry.

hand or a great addition to breads, salads and cereals. Sunflower seeds are a great source of vitamin E, phosphorus, and selenium. One ounce of sunflower seeds also provides 12 percent of our recommended daily intake of fiber. The seeds are also high in protein and low in carbohydrates. A one ounce portion of sunflower seeds provides about 174 calories so

Place the seeds on a baking sheet and place in a 300 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Stir the seeds a few times during the baking process to ensure even cooking. Remove the roasted seeds from the oven and allow them to cool. Store them in an air-tight container. Sunflower seeds can be a great snack to eat out of

remember enjoy them in reasonable quantities. Diane Diane Mason Mason is county extension Community agent for family Recorder and consumer columnist sciences at the Boone County Cooperative Extension Service.

Duke to use â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; technology

Duke Energy hopes to capitalize on â&#x20AC;&#x153;smartâ&#x20AC;? technology that will help its Greater Cincinnati customers cut back on energy use in their homes and save money on their utility bills. On the surface, that might not appear to be a sound business strategy. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an integral part of Duke Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plan for a Sustainable Future,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Henning, general manager of gas commercial operations for the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do business in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for customers, employees, stockholders and the business community,â&#x20AC;? he told members of the Florence Rotary Club on Monday, Aug. 10. Trying to accomplish that â&#x20AC;&#x153;is like trying to put a puzzle together.â&#x20AC;? Henning identified five key pieces of the sustainable future puzzle at the Rotary Club meeting: smart energy, energy efficiency, renewable energy, customer rates and national policy. He laid out Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision of how partnerships with consumers, businesses and state and federal regulators could fit those pieces into a strategy that would benefit all. Smart energy and energy efficiency are important connecting pieces for both the consumer and Duke Energy, according to Henning. The public is using more electrical energy than ever because of the great demand generated by cell phones, big-screen televisions and other highpowered electronics. Operating and charging all those devices is creating a huge drain on utilities because advances in transmission of electricity have not kept pace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The generation and transmission of energy is still very similar to what it was in Thomas Edisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day,â&#x20AC;? Henning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an analog process. Now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving

PROVIDED

Jim Henning, general manager of Gas Commercial Operations at Duke Energy, speaks to the Florence Rotary Club. to digital.â&#x20AC;? The move to digital will make it possible for homeowners to install â&#x20AC;&#x153;intelligent energy systemsâ&#x20AC;? that will pay for themselves over time, Henning said. For example, homeowners will be able to put in LED lighting, smart appliances and thermostats that can be programmed to reduce the energy use when people are not at home. Ultimately, homeowners will be able to control all their utilities from a smart grid on their computer at home or at work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your house will think like you do,â&#x20AC;? Henning said. However, the technology to run such a system is still about two years out, according to his estimates. Duke Energy can benefit from smart technology through federal and state incentives for energy efficiency such as the Sav-AWatt system. States would reward the company for saving watts (e.g., less electrical usage), so both the company and the consumer would profit, according to Henning.

Florentine Event Center opens The Florentine Event Center, formerly know as Elegance Banquet Hall, is now managed by McHaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitality Group. The facility is located at 8605 Haines Drive in Florence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to add the Florentine Event Center to the McHaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family,â&#x20AC;? said Chuck McHale, president of McHaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitality Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a beautiful facility in a great location. Brides will work with our highly regarded team of event planners and banquet staff to create their perfect event.â&#x20AC;? Featuring arching 18foot ceilings, crystal chandeliers, Florentine fountains and artwork, and marble flooring, The Florentine Event Center is suited to host events or receptions. McHaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitality Group will host Wedding University at The Florentine on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 1-4 pm. Brides and their guests will enjoy a new concept in wedding preparation, packed with useful information and workshops. For registration and details, visit kycater.com. Architecturally designed for single events, guests will be ushered through the foyer and welcomed into the

Grand Ballroom, complete with romantic fireplaces, a balcony, and plenty of open space for dancing. Located at the rear of the building is a large patio with comfortable furniture, wrought iron fencing, and a gazebo. The patio overlooks a landscaped hillside with paths and flora. In addition, The Florentine Event Center offers technological advances; from mounted flat screen monitors to display DVDs and photos, wireless microphones connecting to a surround sound system, and wireless Internet access. The bride and bridesmaids wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about changing in a restroom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Florentine Event Center offers a bridal room, reserved just for the bride and her attendants, for storing extra clothes, makeup touches, or just to relax. McHaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitality Group manages four area banquet facilities including The Gardens of Park Hills, The Marquise Banquet & Conference Center, The Grand at 5th and Madison and The Florentine Event Center. McHaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also offers off-premise catering services to local venues including the prestigious Drees Pavilion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could invest in energy efficiency instead of building more plantsâ&#x20AC;? and driving up costs to meet the increasing demand for electricity, Henning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would ask the states to give a return on investment â&#x20AC;Ś an incentive to cover the reduction in usage.â&#x20AC;?

Henning said 95 percent of Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; power comes from coal, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will be challenged in the future to continue to burn coal because of the carbon impact on the environment.â&#x20AC;? As a result, Duke plans to add more renewable sources of power, including wind, solar, lowimpact hydroelectric, methane, ethanol/biodiesel and geo-thermal. Duke already is getting about $20,000 a day in methane gas from a Rumpke landfill in the Cincinnati area in an experimental project, Henning said. Solar energy is promising, although it currently is expensive to install, because it is free. The final piece in Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability puzzle is a national energy policy with â&#x20AC;&#x153;incentives to develop lowand non-emitting technology, and cost controls to avoid rate hikes,â&#x20AC;? Henning said. Florence Rotary Club meets at noon on most Mondays at the Commonwealth Hilton on Turfway Road. For further information about Florence Rotary, contact John Salyers, president,
