Bean Bash still stirs the pot
By Patricia A. Scheyer
Community Recorder Contributor
If the fall weather stimulates a craving for homemade bean soup, there is good news. The 36th annual Bean Bash is happening at Turfway Park starting at noon on Saturday, Oct. 10, And as everyone who has been there knows, the bash is a funfilled day of activities and food for the whole family at a very reasonable rate. “The price of admission is still $3 per person, and children under 12 are free,” said Brenda Sparks, who, along with her husband, Ritsel, help to organize the event. “We always have a children’s activity room, which is filled with festival type games and prizes. The children really love it.” In addition there is live musical

a disability, which is why the Bean Bash headed in the direction it has taken. I think the best part of the Bean Bash is raising money for the charities, and the event gives people a good chance to see who is benefiting from the money they donate, because a lot of the people come to the Bean Bash.” Dave Schneider, who has been president for the last six years, thinks everyone likes the Bean Bash for different reasons. “Some like the Texas Hold’em, some like the family atmosphere, and some come for the bean soup,” he said. “Then you have those who come for the 5K run, because they like running on the actual track at Turfway, and some who love the auction. It’s a great day with something for everyone.”

The city of Florence has increased its presence on the Internet by creating its own Facebook page. “The city was looking for a way to communicate better with its residents and other visitors about events and other news going on in the city,” said Josh Wice, community/business development director. “With a lot of people using Facebook now, we thought it’d be good to create an official Facebook page,” Wice said. Facebook, which can be accessed at www.facebook.com, is a free social networking site. Friends keep in touch on Facebook by sending direct messages

or by updating their personal profiles. Florence’s Facebook page is set up as a “fan page” so viewers can stay up-to-date on events and developments in the city. So far, the city has 159 “fans” of the page. On its page the city has updates publicizing Halloween Night Out on Oct. 27 and the city’s Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11. Another update welcomes Culver’s eatery to the city, including a link to the restaurant chain’s Web site. There is a link to a community profile video featuring an introduction by Mayor Diane Whalen and segments touting the city’s real estate, shopping, entertainment and dining.

Wice said reaction to the Facebook page has been positive. “We’ve received a few e-mails. People are glad to see that we’ve done it,” he said. “Actually it’s something that a lot of cities around Kentucky have started to do. We looked at other cities. They’ve used it in very interactive ways and we have the same hopes for our page.” Wice hoped the page would lead people to become more involved in the city. Though the page is designed primarily for Florence residents, Wice can envision Facebook benefiting the city’s economic development efforts, too. “When prospects are looking at information about a community, they look at everything,” he said.

Randy Dressman of Walton left selling cars almost a year ago after his sales went from around 15 cars a month to four. “You aren’t going to make a living selling four cars a month,” Dressman said. For help finding a job, Dressman visits the Florence office of One Stop Northern Kentucky about three times a week. “(The employees) get kicked around by some of the people that come in here, but they do a great job,” he said. Boone County hasn’t been exempt from busy unemployment offices and higher unemployment rates. On the day Dressman went in to get help with a resume, the line for the One Stop was out the door, with people standing in the lobby waiting to get in. The county’s unemployment rate for August was 9.4 percent, down from 9.8 percent in July but higher than the August 2008 rate of 5.7 percent. The Florence office averaged about 400 visitors per week in September 2008 but the number of visitors has increased to about 1,158 a week. The best times to visit the Florence office are 8-10 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8-10 a.m. on Friday.

Theft arrests
Florence police have charged two Latonia men, an Elsmere man and a teen with breaking into cars in the Gibbons Street area. Florence officers were sent to the area about 2:30 a.m. and saw two men walking away from the area. Officers then questioned the men and then found a vehicle that
contained items taken from cars in the neighborhood. The men admitted they had been driving around checking for cars with unlocked doors, said Florence police spokesman Capt. John McDermond. Police recovered a laptop and a briefcase. Gary Hoffman, 18 and Vincente Williams, 18, both of Latonia, were charged with theft by unlawful taking and unlawful transaction with a minor. Michael Godawa, 18, of Elsmere, turned himself in after being contracted by police. He faces the same charges. The juvenile was charged with theft by unlawful taking. Kentucky News Service

Sheriff, Florence Police use new message service By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
The Boone County Sheriff’s and Florence Police departments have a new way to send out information. Citizens can receive electronic messages via Nixle (www.nixle.com) at no
who wants to receive posts. He said communication platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Nixle and the like are the communication platforms of today and probably tomorrow. “And the younger people ... that’s how a lot of them are communicating and that’s how a lot of them prefer to communicate,� he said. “And there are those out there that I believe are interested in what’s going on in their neighborhoods.� Nixle allows officials such as Scheben to send out short and long messages. For example, a Nixle message on Sept. 29 from the sheriff’s department read “multi veh accident w/ injuries SB I-75 @ 173.4 mm Left 3 lanes blocked.� Another short message followed later when the accident scene was cleared. Florence Police Capt. John McDermond said the department would send out messages that would be of interest to the public such as traffic accidents on the interstate where they would advise people to take an alternate route. Missing persons is another example. He said detectives would probably use it for a particular
cost. Users need to sign up for a free account. Sheriff’s department spokesman Tom Scheben described Nixle “is essentially Twitter on steroids,� referring to the popular Web site Twitter.com where users can send out short messages called “tweets� to friends and anyone else

case they’re working on such as providing a description of someone. He said Nixle is “just another tool that we can use to reach the public (and) take advantage of technology,â€? noting it just seemed to be a logical step to reaching out and getting information out to the community. But unlike Twitter where anyone can create an account and pose as someone, Nixle verifies a potential user such as the sheriff’s department. Not only is the service free for the general public, agencies aren’t charged either. Nixle allows users such as Scheben to target their audience to a specific area so not all of his subscribers receive the message. Scheben said on Nixle he can send out: • alerts (an escaped jail inmate or an Alzheimer’s patient who has walked away) • advisories (an area is experiencing burglaries or car break-ins and the public is reminded to remove valuables and lock their car doors) • traffic (accidents) • community information (the sheriff is hosting a citizens academy).

Boone County Jaycees gives back to community The Boone County Jaycees have been in existence in Boone County since 1957, and they have assisted many young people in their search for success in their lives. Women, however, were only admitted in 1982. “At first, only young men were able to join,” said Julie Metzger, a past president of the organization. “‘Hop’ Ewing, father of the current Florence Mayor, Diane Whalen, was the very first president of the Florence branch. One of the goals of the organization is to help the community.” Even though the organization is co-ed now, there is an age limitation. Young people between 18 and 40 are welcomed at their monthly meetings which are currently held at the Florence Government Center on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. “This is a great way to make lifelong friends, and learn skills like running meetings, organizing a project, and filling needs in the community,” Metzger said. “Our members learn public
relations skills, how to run a committee and manage people.” On Veterans Day each year, the Jaycees conduct an essay contest, and they run a corn booth at the Boone County Fair. They have service Saturdays, where members visit nursing homes, taking them tissues and talking with people. They run concession stands at high school football games, proceeds of which are donated to the Make a Wish foundation. “We have speakers at our meetings to let the members find out about different companies,” said Stephanie Huhn, current president of the Jaycees, who has been in the organization for the last three years. “Last meeting we had someone from Insight, and someone talk to us about hospice. It is very educational.” Other things the members do is help serve dinners at the Parish Kitchen and work with Redwood school. “There is such a wide variety of activities we do in the community, our members can choose which ones they want to get involved
with,” said Huhn. “Everybody doesn’t do everything.” The main thing about the Jaycees is that they are constantly working with the community, and learning about all kinds of opportunities that will help them in
their own personal careers. “We are people with similar goals and similar inter-
ests,” Huhn said. “We all learn something, whether from the speakers, or the
community work, that helps us each achieve success in our lives.”

Diners in Florence now have another place to choose from for eating out. Located on U.S. 42 at the corner of Pleasant Valley, Culver’s restaurant opened to the public last Monday, offering new and different choices for lunches and dinners, including its famous Butter Burgers and creamy frozen custard. “Butter Burgers are the chain’s most popular sandwich,” said Craig Przanowski, owner of the new franchise. “They get their name from the touch of real butter we lightly brush on the crown of the bun before we toast it to a golden brown. The all-natural Butter Burger is made from a blend of ground chuck and sirloin that is always fresh, never frozen.” Frozen custard is a premium ice cream with a minimum of 10 percent butterfat that gives the icy treat its rich, velvety texture. It is made fresh throughout the day, and is always offered in chocolate and vanilla. Every day, however, an
additional flavor of the day will be offered and that can be turtle, caramel cashew, double strawberry, Oreo, peanut butter cup, and cookie dough craving, among other flavors. “Eventually we will have a calendar that will tell our customers what special flavor will be offered on each day,” Przanowski said. Other menu items include fresh garden salads, North Atlantic cod and pork tenderloin sandwiches, all cooked to order. Once customers put in their order, guest attendants bring the order to their table. Customers can also get their food to go at the drivethrough window. More than 400 Culver’s restaurants are located in 17 states, all stemming from the original, established in Sauk City, Wisc., in July 1984. Culver’s supports communities in many ways, and Przanowski said he is working with area schools in their fundraising efforts. He also mentioned that he will display sports jerseys as part of his décor. Florence Mayor Diane Whalen is excited that Cul-

School buses may get a little quieter. Boone County Schools are exploring the possibility of adding hybrid buses to its fleet. Currently, the state is offering grants that would cover the cost difference of purchasing a hybrid bus over a diesel bus, which is an incentive for the district to start
looking into hybrids, said Superintendent Randy Poe. Through the grant, Boone County would likely be able to get two hybrid buses this year, said Transportation Director Phil Jones. Not all of the facts are available about hybrid buses, so before the district takes the plunge, Jones wants to know if they’ll actually be more cost effective because a hybrid bus can cost $41,000 to

$48,000 more than a diesel bus. “I feel that we should explore it,” Jones said. For a bus fleet that drives close to 12,000 miles a day, hybrid buses could create a large savings on fuel if the whole fleet were eventually hybrids, he said. “It gets five to seven more miles per gallon,” Jones said. The catch for hybrid buses may come from the district’s constant,

rapid growth, Poe said. Because the district continues to grow, fewer buses can be decommissioned, which means buses have to last longer. Boone County’s buses have to last longer than the state recommended cycle, which calls for only one hybrid battery replacement during the life cycle of the bus. Because of how long Boone County buses have to last, they may

have to change the battery twice, Poe said. “We have to look at the replacement costs for the batteries,” he said. District transportation employees plan to investigate hybrid costs further before deciding on getting the buses. “I’m hoping it comes back favorable,” Poe said. “If we can save money, I’m all for it.”
Stephens PTA buys new playground By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

Happy homecoming
Members of the Conner High School volleyball team march in the school’s homecoming parade.
The kids have a new place to play. The Stephens Elementary PTA installed a new playground for the school. The movement to install a new playground began last year when the PTA realized the old playground was built with the school in 1991 and was worn out. Through various fundraisers, they were able to raise $20,000, but an unexpected change in the school property kicked fundraising into overdrive, said PTA Secretary Jenifer Womble-Ericson. Already the largest elementary school in the state, Stephens grew over the summer and two more mobile classrooms had to be added – covering the paved play area. With the mobiles in place, the school’s recess area was left with four swings for nearly 1,300 students.
Lives touched by Sept. 11, 2001 Sept. 11, 2001, is a day no one will forget. Where were you the day the towers went down? Confusion, fear, and worry consumed the nation. There was no way of knowing if and when more attacks were planned. This was an extremely emotional day in history that touched many lives. It has been eight years since that fateful day and every year the American people have found a way to pay tribute to the memory of the victims. The fifth-graders at Florence Elementary decided to honor the
National Day of Service and Remembrance by creating a memory quilt. Each fifth-grader placed a quilt square on the wall that represented the twin towers with a United States flag in the background. John Williams, a fifth-grader who was only 2 years old on Sept. 11, 2001, shared how his uncle was a victim in the Twin Tower tragedy. He said that his papaw was on his way to pick up his son, who was working on the 30th floor, when he actually saw the planes crash in the towers.

“That’s when we started mobilizing,” said Treasurer Tracy Codell. The group ramped up fundraising and brought in an additional $12,000 in two weeks. “It was a pretty whirlwind experience,” Codell said. The $32,000 raised left the PTA $8,000 short, but they were able to get an interest-free loan for the rest of a playground and now have a play area with eight slides and three sets of monkey bars. “I couldn’t believe how many kids could fit on it,” Womble-Ericson said. The playground is a sign of how hard the PTA works for the students at Stephens Elementary, Codell said. “We have a legacy – we put that thing in the ground,” she said. Seeing what can be done when working together, Codell hopes things continue to grow with the PTA. “I hope this will be a catalyst for more parents to join in,” she said.

Hannah Boyd was elected homecoming queen last weekend at the Boone County High School game vs. Campbell Co.
Janet Burton, first-grade teacher at Burlington Elementary School, received the September “Break the Mold” award from Boone County Schools. Burton has been employed by Boone County Schools for 26 years. Her colleagues recognize her as one who not only is always professional, positive and knowledgeable, but is viewed as an icon because she has been serving the students, staff and community for more than a quarter of a century. According to the school district, Burton goes above and beyond to ensure student success, express sincere interest and positively impact the total school program. It is apparent that Burton enjoys her job, as she approaches each day with energy and enthusiasm. Her calm, patient demeanor coupled with her wellorganized classroom is key to student success and demonstrates her commitment to excellence. Burton was recognized at the school board meeting on Sept. 10. A “Break The Mold” award was presented to her by Superintendent Randy Poe and the Board of Education members to commemorate this achievement. Boone County Board of Education applauds Janet’s efforts and commitment to the staff and students of the district.

and volunteered for seven years at the school, quizzing students on spelling and with math flashcards. Murray lived in Arcadia Park apartments just behind Florence Elementary. For seven years he would faithfully come to our school, rain, shine, sleet or snow. He shared his love for life, sports (especially the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals) and history. Murray’s determination inspired the students to never give up because of their circumstance. Thirty family members joined in the celebration of Murray’s life. His mother, Wanda Murray, accepted a plaque honoring Murray’s commitment and dedication at Florence Elementary. One of the attending nieces, 13-year-old Victoria Short, shared her feelings of this true champion.

Though there is one occasion that the champion had gotten the chance to fly, to be in his first real game. Rockets strapped onto either side of his wheelchair he flew down Mikelsen Road. Wind in his hair, smile on his face he made it to first base in his game of life. Throughout this champions life there were many hits and many runs that his family could share with him. Though recently he had his last and final strike. The
champion lost the game. But in reality, he didn't really lose. He had a loving family, a good life and plenty of laughs to share. On May 10, 2009, a champion lived. He rolled off the field, even though many more good times were ahead. It was his time to leave the rest of the game to us. He sat on the sidelines watching his family grow, learn and remember. Though his time came to an end a true champion is not just one because of how they played, but for how they are remembered. A true champion.

Ryle takes win into next district game By James Weber

Among Boone County teams in district play, Ryle and Conner turned out wins in their district games.
Ryle 62, Campbell 19
The Raiders rolled to 5-1, 2-0 in 6A district play against the Camels (2-4, 02). Travis Elliott rushed for 139 yards and scored four touchdowns. Conner Hempel threw for 236 yards and three scores, including two long TD passes to Trenton Fugate. Fugate had 133 receiving yards. Kiefer Eubank had a TD run in the first quarter to start things off for Ryle, who led 48-13 at the half. Eubank had 110 yards rushing and two scores and also caught three passes for 71 yards. Caleb Lonkard returned a kickoff for a score. Eric Pederson recovered a fumble and Clay Coleman had an interception.

Turcotte at Turfway
Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte, who guided the legendary Secretariat into Triple Crown history in 1973, was at Turfway Park Saturday, Oct. 3, to greet fans and sign autographs. Proceeds from the event benefitted the Secretariat Foundation, established by Secretariat’s owner, Helen “Penny” Chenery. The Foundation supports veterinary research into lameness of the horse, Thoroughbred retirement and rehabilitation facilities, therapeutic equestrian programs, and related charitable programs. Turcotte was Canada’s leading jockey in 1962 and 1963. His riding career came to an abrupt end on July 13, 1978, when a racing accident at Belmont Park left him paralyzed from the waist down. Turcotte won more than 3,000 races while competing at the highest levels of the sport. He is the only rider to win five of six consecutive Triple Crown races. His peers selected him to receive the prestigious George Woolf Memorial Award in 1979, and he also has received the Paul Harris Fellowship Award, the Avelino Gomez Memorial Award, the Canadian Sovereign Award, and the Turf Publicists of America Big Sport of Turfdom Award. In 1973 Turcotte was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada.

the Rebels (2-4, 1-1) in the second 6A district game for both teams. Boone hosts Cooper 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9. Conner hosts Campbell County 7 p.m. Friday. Like the previous game’s loss to Simon Kenton, Conner led 14-0 after one quarter. This time, the Cougars built on that lead, bringing a 28-7 lead into the halftime break. Conner senior quarterback Nick West threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed for 156 yards and three scores. His 75-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Boden made it 14-0 in the first quarter. Boden had five catches for 126 yards. A TD pass to Brady Fogle completed the scoring. Michael Gill made it 21-0 in the second quarter with a 33-yard TD run. Austin Pugh had eight carries for 65 yards for Conner, who outgained Boone 529-283. Huston Dockery recovered a fumble for Conner, and Josh Lassiter had an interception. Jordan Oppenheimer scored both Rebel touch-
downs. He had 70 yards and Charles Quainoo 79 as Conner shut down Boone’s powerful rushing attack.
Simon Kenton 62, Cooper 0
The Cooper Jaguars football team (2-4) dropped to 0-2 in 6A district play. They will play at Boone County 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9. The Jaguars were outmatched against the defending state runner-up Pioneers. SK scored four touchdowns in the first quarter and three more in the second to take a 50-0 halftime advantage. SK star running back MIles Simpson had 226 rushing yards and five touchdowns in the first half. Cooper, already without its star running back, Dvontae Bradley, lost quarterback Logan Schulkers in the first half with a leg injury. His status was uncertain at press time. Simon Kenton had 450 yards offense, 335 on the ground.
The Tigers (3-3) scored on five straight possessions to take a 35-0 halftime lead. Beechwood improved to 2-0 in district play. Joe Colosismo rushed 14 times for 156 yards and a touchdown in less than three quarters of play. Matt Rigdon passed for two touchdowns and rushed for two more. The Bearcats (1-5) still have a chance to earn a playoff berth. They will likely need to win two of their final three district games.
Holy Cross 26, Louisville Holy Cross 10
The Indians (3-3) jumped out to a 14-0 halftime lead and held on for the win. Senior Brayson Smith rushed for 77 yards two touchdowns on seven carries. Markel Walker and Jerry Arlinghaus shared quarterback duties, combining to complete 14 of 26 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown. Eric Walker caught a 14yard touchdown pass from Andy Roenker on a halfback pass. The Indians face three district opponents in their next three games.
Ryle wins 3rd straight regional title By James Weber

After playing for some regional championship teams, Jonathan Ehlen got a chance to coach one last week. The 2003 Ryle High School graduate directed the Raiders to the Region 7 boys’ golf championship Sept. 28 at Twin Oaks Golf & Plantation Club in Covington. It was the Raiders’ third straight regional title, propelling them to the state tourney Oct. 6-7 in Bowling Green. “It’s different to be on the other side of the table,” Ehlen said. “It’s neat for the team to have this success.” On a day in which just six players broke 80, four of them wore black shirts with Ryle logos. None better than senior Jordan Erlewine, who shot an outstanding 70 to claim the individual regional title, five shots better than the runner-up, teammate Chris Lally (75). Erlewine said his driving has been getting better in recent week. “We got extra practice this week,” he said. “I knew the team was playing well. I saw Jonathan

Logan Gamm shot 99. “It was exciting to see the whole team coming together for one tournament,” Ehlen said. “We’ve had some great individual performances
but this is the first time we’ve had a great team tournament.” The Cooper boys’ golf team just missed qualifying for state for the first time. The Jaguars finished third with 332, two strokes behind CovCath (the top two teams go to state). Adam Millson, Cooper’s top scorer with 81, was one stroke short of an individual berth at state.
Boone County was ninth with 352. Carter Hibbard shot 87, Austin Thomas 85, Josiah Schulze 90, Kohl Dalton 90 and Trevor Howard 93. Cooper was third with 332. Adam Millson shot 81, Brandon Houston 84, Austin Molen 82, Bradley Jury 86 and Collin Smith 85. Walton-Verona was 11th with 365. Dustin Cottrell shot 87, Josh Locke 85, Zach McNeil 90 and David Lodestro 102. For Heritage, Jeffrey Reno shot 114 and Austin Brunner 115. Holy Cross was seventh with 346.

The 2009 campaign marked Rumfield’s third as a manager in the Frontier League. He was with the River City Rascals, a team based just outside the St.
Louis, Mo., area, in 2007 and 2008 and has improved his win total in each of the past three seasons. “It’s too bad Toby and the boys didn’t have a few more weeks left this last season,” Freedom President Clint Brown said. “They were coming on strong in search of a playoff berth in the end had his team playing as well as anybody. We’re excited to see Toby back to continue that momentum into next season.” Rumfield was a secondround pick by the Cincinnati
Reds in the 1991 amateur draft. He made it as high as AAA within the Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals organizations. The Florence Freedom are members of the Independent Frontier League. Currently 2010 season tickets are available to the public with early bird pricing available until Nov. 1.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Getting down and dirty
I am writing to tell you about our experience with the Boone County Trash for Cash program. This is the second year that the NECCO-Florence office participated in the program. We knew what to expect this time and we were prepared to get down and dirty, literally. We had 15 employees willing to spend a morning cleaning up trash. We split up into four teams with three to four employees on each team. We were able to clean 3.5 miles in less than 90 minutes. We knew from past experience that although a lot of the trash is not visible to the traveling eye, it is there! It is everywhere. We came to the conclusion that the majority of the litter bugs like fast food, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks. We also know that one litterbug is minus a bumper on their car. And to the person who is missing their Harry Potter pillow, we apologize but it had to be thrown out. All in all it was a successful day and we will definitely participate in the Trash for Cash program next year. Thank you for allowing us to share our experience. Cara Schultz NECCO-Florence office Cavalier Boulevard Florence
Seeds of economic recovery
It was my pleasure to participate in the joint Kentucky TechBoone County and James D. Patton Area Technology Centers’ steering committee meeting held at the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce building. I am very proud of our Kentucky Tech Principals Patrick Currin and Ray Stanley who led the meeting. I also want to thank all the businesses and school leaders who support career and technical education programs offered at these schools. We are working through some tough economic times affecting funding. The Kentucky TechBoone and Patton budgets are set by the General Assembly and managed by the Office of Career and Technical Education. They are the leanest in the history of our Kentucky Tech system of schools. I appreciate Sen. Jack Westwood, Rep. Addia Wuchner and Rep. Sal Santoro, who took time from their busy schedules to attend the meeting and offer their support. We were able to briefly talk about how difficult it is to manage in tough economic times with limited state budget resources. They were also concerned about not being able to say yes to the many worthy and deserving needs that impact their district. Senator Westwood, Representative Wuchner, and Representative Santoro understand the value of offering high-level technical skills to students and its positive economic impact on Boone and Kenton counties and the entire Northern Kentucky region. The very sharp and highly skilled students taught at the Kentucky Tech Centers represent the seeds of economic recovery for our nation. John M.

But I have to do something for the sake of my two granddaughters Kaela and Luci. Our legislators have voted to hand them a credit card that already has $150,000 in charges. And the debt on that card is growing. How can they ever pay for that?” Donoghue is quick to point out that the Tea Party movement is nonpartisan. Both major parties have moved away from the Constitution, he says, so it’s no surprise that Republicans, Democrats, independents and others have joined together to take back America. For further information about the Take Back America rally, visit www.nkyteaparty.org. Emily Shelton Clovernook Drive Burlington
Constitutionality important
In his e-Newsletter of Sept. 22, Congressman Geoff Davis invited his constituents to visit his Web site and respond to a four-question Health Care Survey. The final question, “What are the most important components of health care reform?” contained a list of 12 options from which the respondent could select up to three options. Conspicuously absent from that list was “Constitutionality.” Such a glaring omission surely could not have been deliberate. If Mr. Davis truly believed that constitutionality was not a relevant issue in the debate over health care reform, such a belief would be in direct conflict with his oath of office to uphold and abide by the Constitution. The current Health Care Survey results should be discarded, and the Health Care Survey should be revised to allow his constituents to indicate whether or not constitutionality is an important component of health care reform.

Bravo, Union; another show, please Here is hoping that Union Community Theatre’s production of “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” is the start of something really special for Boone County. My wife and I attended the show this past Friday, Oct. 2, at Ryle High School. (She even wore her Snoopy and Woodstock socks for the occasion.) Entertainment like this, the kind you can’t get at the local mega-plex, doesn’t get too much attention these days. But it should. I’m not a theater expert or a critic by any means, but the show was worth my time. The crowd was larger than I expected, given there was Friday night high school football everywhere and a free outdoor movie was scheduled a few blocks away at the Union Community Building. One of the neat elements about community theater, like high school theater, are the participants are just like us. The cast for “Charlie Brown” consisted of teachers, a college student, a high school theater director and a family man. But they all had experience doing productions, some probably similar to this show. “Charlie Brown” really doesn’t have a storyline. It’s just scene
after scene showing these young children interacting with each other doing things that normal children do such as flying a kite or wonderPaul ing about that McKibben cute girl over there. It’s full of Reporter’s quirky and fun Notebook scenes. There’s a scene where Lucy (Mann Elementary teacher Amanda Wolery) is flirting with Schroeder (Ryle High School teacher Eric Blankenship) in a classroom as he is at a piano. Snoopy (Boone County High School teacher Lauren Hatter) howls, but as a beagle owner who recently had baby rabbits living in my front yard, I don’t understand how a beagle has no interest in chasing a rabbit as Snoopy does in this show. Sally (played by Lindsey Huffaker, who directs theater at Ryle) at one point says she’s mad at everything. We all know children and adults who can behave like that. Linus (Florence resident and
Northern Kentucky University student Mitch Winsett) is an interesting character. He acts like a child but thinks and sounds more like a doctoral student at some fancy East Coast college. He sucks his thumb and carries a blanket. But he’s intelligent and philosophical. Burlington resident Doug Bruening, a father of two children, looks like Charlie Brown and did a wonderful job showing the character’s awkwardness. All of us probably can relate to Chuck at some level. There’s a scene where Charlie Brown rehearses giving a Valentine to Lucy.

Plan flunks ‘Dime Standard’ 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 non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that H.R. 3200 would add $239 billion to the deficit in the first 10 years alone and $1.6 trillion over 20 years. Additionally, H.R. 3200 will saddle 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 U.S. REP. for families, GEOFF DAVIS businesses, and COMMUNITY state and local RECORDER governments. For example, GUEST as currently COLUMNIST s t r u c t u r e d , Medicare presents a serious challenge to the fiscal health of the federal budget. The 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
CHATROOM Last week’s question
Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not? “I already have received by 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 remember on way or the other.”
C.J.W. “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. “No to the flu and H1N1 vac-

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
O
“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.

Tess Chaffee, a fifth-grader at Kelly Elementary School, is shown at the Rabbit Hash General Store. She wrote a poem about Rabbit Hash.
The joys of Rabbit Hash
Poem describes dripping dogs, delicious candy
By Tess Chaffee
‘Rabbit Hash’ When I’m down at Rabbit Hash, I watch the children play happily in the dried up creek bed. “Tag! You’re it!” declares a little girl, her messy blonde braids bounce on her back as she scurries after her friends. I peer over at the general store, customers swiftly walking in and out of the store’s open doors, happily clutching brown paper bags full of their purchase. A dripping wet collie dog trots out of the Ohio River and shakes her fur at the girl and her friends. Water droplets fly through the air like soaring crystals, glinting in the sun. The children jump back and squeal in excitement and surprise at their unexpected bath. Now I can tell that the collie is brown and white with velvety fur and silky ears. It’s none other than the mayor Lucy Lou! Rabbit Hash is so exciting, yeah! I never want to return home! When I’m down at Rabbit Hash, the roaring motorcycle’s noisy motor fills your ears. They are as loud as a herd of buffalo ... Roar! I eavesdrop on the tourists’ chatter about how wonderful the old general store is. “I love it here too,” I can’t help saying to myself. The shrill bark of Lucy Lou cuts through the air like a jack knife as she chases after the worn-out tennis ball sailing through the air that I have thrown. I can hear a splash in the distance. Riley, Germ, Rudy or other Rabbit Hash dogs must’ve jumped into the Ohio River for a refreshing dip from the stifling heat and fiery sun. The cheerful ka-ching of the cash register echoes through my head as kids purchase
yummy, sweet Bazooka Joe bubble gum. Pop! Snap! I listen to their noisy chewing and the crinkle of the wrapper as they crumple them up and toss them in the garbage can. Laughter fills my ears as the kids chuckle at the corny Bazooka Joe comics. Rabbit Hash is so exciting, yeah! I never want to return home! When I’m down at Rabbit Hash, I smell the musty odor of dirt when I run around under the store. The sweet, savory aroma of delicious candy floats through the air like a dove. I sniff the awful scent of wet dog as Riley, Germ and Rudy gallop past, their smooth fur now a dripping wet mass. Disgusting cigarette smoke lingers in the air like a limp flag of defeat. The piney smell of the new wooden porta-potties reminds me of the woods as I pass them and head into the rocky creek below. Rabbit Hash is so exciting, yeah! I never want to return home. When I’m down at Rabbit Hash, I feel the thick braided rope in my hands as I climb up the side of the creek. I’m pleased as I reach the top and brush my dirty hands on my faded cut-off jean shorts. The wind whips my hair and tickles my cheek as I race across the creek. I feel my heart thump in my chest. My sneakers slap the hard-packed earth as I charge towards the river. I’m delighted to be in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. Rabbit Hash is so exciting, yeah! I never want to return home. Tess Chaffee is a fifth-grader at Kelly Elementary School.
Pumpkin seeds are high in fiber Pumpkin seeds are rich in minerals, calories, and protein. They are a good source of iron and zinc. They also contain both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, they are high in fiber. Both hulled and unhulled roasted pumpkin seeds can be eaten as a snack or added to a favorite salad. Consider sprinkling them on rice dishes or sautéing them with vegetables. Grind the pumpkin seeds and use them in casseroles or baked goods.
If you want to dry and roast the seeds you remove from your jack-o-lantern, there are several methods from which to choose. Drying seeds and roasting seeds are two different processes. To prepare the seeds for drying or roasting, separate the fiber from the pumpkin seed. Place the seeds in a colander and rinse thoroughly. Drying – Place a single layer of washed seeds on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in an oven set to “warm” for three to four
hours. Stir them frequently to avoid scorching. Roasting dried seeds – Toss dried pumpkin seeds with a little oil and, if desired, salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated, 250 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Boiling and roasting – Bring two tablespoons salt and one quart of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rinsed seeds and boil for 30 minutes. Drain the seeds and dry them on absorbent
paper. Place the seeds on a shallow baking pan. Roast in a 300degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes. De-hulling seeds – Hulls can be removed from the seeds after boiling, drying or roasting. It is a time-consuming process. Toasting hulled seeds – Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the hulled seeds. Move the skillet back and forth over the heat or stir constantly. When the seeds begin to pop and have a
nutty aroma, they are ready. Store dried or roasted seeds in an airtight conDiane Mason tainer in the Community refrigerator. ForRecorder longer than two columnist weeks, place in the freezer. Diane Mason is county extension agent for family and consumer sciences at the Boone County Cooperative Extension Service.

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
nize 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 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
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 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. One of the attractions to the recent novel, “The Shack,” seems to be the different images used for the Triune-God. Certainly there is a need to recog-
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 too much, like a seventy-times-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 quesFather Lou tions, and makes Guntzelman sense by our Perspectives 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.

Treat your palate to tastes of the past
When it comes to autumn festivals, two stand out for me – the Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio, and the Old West Festival between M o u n t Orab and Williamsburg. They are as different as night and to Rita day Heikenfeld each other, but each is Rita s kitchen historically correct, whether it’s the architecture, dress code, entertainment, or the food offered. Plus when you visit, you are literally transported back into time. Now I love to cook, but I’m not sure I’d make it as a “Renaissance girl” in the kitchen. And I don’t think Drew Deimling, a Hyde Park reader and proprietor of the Old West Festival, would hire me as a cowgirl rustling up supper. I thought it would be fun, though, to share recipes for
the kind of foods eaten during those times.
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 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.
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 shredded. Put all back in crockpot and cook 30 minutes longer, uncovered. Use a soup ladle to serve on warm buns. E v e n 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.

Rotary hears about hospice myths
PROVIDED
Traci Mattera from the Hospice of the Bluegrass in Florence speaks to the Florence Rotary Club.
myths to the Rotarians: • Hospice of Bluegrass does operate a seven-bed inpatient care center within St. Elizabeth Fort Thyomas for patients with special treatment needs. More than 80 percent of their hospice patients prefer to receive care at home, Foster said. • The hospice team tries to get involved with terminal patients early. A team made up of a doctor, nurse, social worker, chaplain, home care aide, bereavement counselor and other volunteers work with patients over the last six months of their lives or longer, according to Mattera. • Some of the hospice patients are children; they
Trick or treat
are not all elderly. • Less than half of the patients served by Hospice of the Bluegrass last year were cancer patients. Patients with cardiac and pulmonary illnesses top the list, and the number of patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia is rising rapidly, Mattera said. • Hospice services do not end after six months. “We continue to provide services as needed,â€? Foster noted. • Hospice is not as expensive as most people think, Mattera said. Medicaid, Medicare and most private insurance companies cover hospice services, and Hospice of the Bluegrass does not turn away patients who cannot afford care. • The full array of services does not end when the patient dies for some families. “We offer bereavement services to families for up to 13 months,â€? Foster said. “Bereavement services are available to the community at large at no cost. We have certified counselors to provide that service.â€? • Choosing hospice does not mean giving up medical treatment. Hospice helps to address the symptoms of the illness and provides mental and spiritual support as well, Mattera said.

Author discusses historical novel Meet author Renee Vincent at Boone County Public Library, Scheben Branch, 8899 U.S. 42, Union, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10. She will discuss her new historical romance novel, “RĂŚliksen.â€? Set in Ireland, “RĂŚliksen,â€? is the story of Mara, the daughter of an Irish clansman and DĂŚgan RĂŚliksen, a wealthy chieftain from Norway. Mara and DĂŚgan discover each other in a time when Ireland is in turmoil and every Irishman is being called upon to fight the Nordic foreigners. Vincent has been writing since the age of 4, but this is her first published novel. She
lives on a horse farm in Kentucky with her husband and two children and is currently working on a sequel to “RĂŚliksen,â€? titled “MacLiam.â€? Stay for a book-signing after the presentation. Vincent Copies of “RĂŚliksenâ€? will be available for purchase and all proceeds will go to Trail Ride for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen Foundation for their ongoing efforts to support research, development and education in the fight against breast cancer.
• Finally, hospice is not just for people who have given up hope, according to Foster. It is a way to manage the end-of-life phase “in the way you want it to be,â€? Foster said. Foster encouraged the Rotarians to discuss those kinds of tough issues with their families before an illness reaches the terminal stage. Hospice of the Bluegrass and St. Elizabeth Healthcare both offer hospice services
in Northern Kentucky. Both are primarily home care programs, according to their Web sites. St. Elizabeth Healthcare also provides services in nursing facilities and a freestanding inpatient hospice facility on the St. Elizabeth Edgewood campus. Florence Rotary Club meets at noon on most Mondays at the Commonwealth Hilton on Turfway Road. For more information about the club and service

The students in “Hospice 101: Dispelling the Myths� have learned that hospice is not a place, and it does not just care for cancer patients in the last days of their lives. In fact, it is not a place at all. It does not serve just cancer patients. And, its services start well before the last days and may continue beyond death for family members. “It’s a way of caring for individuals in the last phase of their lives,� said Carla Foster, director of Hospice of the Bluegrass in Florence. “It’s a philosophy of care.� Foster and Traci Mattera presented a basic primer on hospice at the Florence Rotary Club on Monday, Sept. 28. They addressed nine common myths or misconceptions for their “students� – i.e., Rotary Club members. Hospice of the Bluegrass offers a comprehensive array of care to terminally ill patients and their families in 32 counties across northern, central and southeastern Kentucky. The Florence office serves Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant and Kenton counties. Foster and Mattera explained the following truths behind nine hospice

Transplant trees, shrubs in fall time 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 moisture because fall days are shorter, outdoor temperatures are cooler and rainfall usually is adequate. These conditions also help retain soil moisture so plants can settle into their new location. 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.
P&G, Target stores ‘go pink’ During October, consumers across the United States will have the opportunity to purchase limitededition Procter & Gamble “pink” products at Target Stores, using money-saving coupons that will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. and its early detection educational efforts. P&G’s Give Hope program serves as its kick-off for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. “My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, so this cause is very close to my heart,” says Carrie Ann Inaba, Give Hope national spokesperson and “Dancing with the Stars” host. “She was lucky to have caught it early and her cancer is in remission. Many people don’t realize that breast cancer has a 98 percent five-year survival rate if detected early, so education and early detection are incredibly important.” The program will prom o t e www.mypinkplan.com, a joint effort from P&G and NBCF to help women create and follow their own prevention plan, personalized to their specific needs. Limited-edition pink products available at Target Stores include: Tide, Downy, Bounce, Swiffer and Venus.
For best results, choose ornamentals that are hardy to the area. Avoid trees Mike Klahr and shrubs that are only Community hardy to Recorder zone six or guest a b o v e they columnist because 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 vege-
tative 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.

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…

NEW YORK The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. 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.
