Rocking for a good cause

Church members raise funds for new shelter By Patricia A. Scheyer Community Recorder Contributor

Taste of Boone

The 2009 Community Cooking Challenge allowed cooks from all over Boone County to share what’s coming out of their kitchens and a new cookbook shares the winning recipes. Sponsored by the Boone County Extension Homemakers, proceeds benefited the Mary Hood Lutes Scholarship Fund. – LIFE, PAGE B1

Redistricting under way for new school

As Boone County Schools prepares to open Longbranch Elementary next fall, district leaders are figuring out who will go there. The district’s 12-member demographics and growth committee has put together three plans for redistricting for the new school. – SCHOOLS, PAGE A6

Playoff season

Eight people took to rocking chairs last Friday for a good cause – to raise money for their church. Seven ladies and one gentleman agreed to collect sponsors for a marathon to raise money to build a shelter for Florence First Church of God on the grounds for Bible school and picnics. Cost of the shelter is about $5,000, so the ladies of the church have come up with several ideas to help defray the costs of the project. “Last year we attended a dinner at another church and they had a rock-a-thon that was very successful,” said Linda Gillum, who has been helping to organize the event. “We thought we would try it, and we didn’t have any trouble getting sponsors.” The rocking, which was mostly a BYOR – or bring your own rocker – event, started at 6 p.m. and was scheduled to go until midnight, or whenever everyone got tired of rocking, according to Gillum. Other church members brought food, challenging the contestants to see if they could eat and rock, and the young pastor, Steve Baker, brought movies to watch. Gospel music played softly, and there was enough stimulation to ward off sleep, in case the rocking was more soporific than vigorous. “We like to talk, and laugh and joke,” said Carol Gootee, who said she really likes to help the church.

Jean Combs and Mattie Hollon, both of Florence, keep each other company while competing at the Rock-a-thon at the Florence First Church of God Friday night. “We’ve been singing, too.” Mattie Hollon, 85, broke her hip on Sept. 3, and used the event as motivation to get out of the hospital and through rehab. She not only made it but along with Voni Pierce led the group in sponsorships. “Sometimes I feel like I’m too old to do anything, but I thought, I can rock, and that will help the church,” she explained. “So I asked the good Lord to help me get well enough to do this, and He

That was the consensus from the group, who all acknowledged that they always have fun together. “This church is like a big family,” said Gillum. “And together we made over $1,700. On Nov. 14 we will be holding our annual craft sale, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so come on over and help us raise some money, and have a good time with us.”

I still have some pain, but I can do it.” Pierce took the opportunity to sew while she rocked, working on a blanket for the Soldiers’ Angels group which sends blankets and clothing to Germany for soldiers who come in from the battlefield severely wounded. The only male, James Minckley, arrived late, but his wife sat in for him until he could get there. He told her he thought it would be a lot of fun.

FLORENCE, KY 41042 (Next to Arthur Murray’s)

After several years out of the city, a hotel chain is back in Florence. The new 85-room Holiday Inn opened at 7905 Freedom Way. Two years in the making, the smoke-free hotel features a full kitchen and restaurant, pool, fitness center, Wi-Fi and a meeting room for up to 150 people. With the kitchen, the hotel is able to cater meetings along with the ability to meet the media needs for most business meetings, said General Manager Don Castle. For Castle, the new hotel is a homecoming. He formerly ran the Microtel in Florence then moved to Virginia to manage a Holiday Inn, but was invited to come back to Florence to run the new facility. “I jumped at that with both

feet,” Castle said. The hotel is the first new development for the area marked as a business and tourism district for the city based on its Central Florence Strategic Plan. Passed last year, the plan set guidelines for buildings and development in the center of the city. “The quality here is hopefully indicative of the quality of the development to come,” said Mayor Diane Whalen. With easy access to the interstate and Champion Window Field, the Holiday Inn is in a good position to be successful, Whalen said. “This is a great kickoff,” she said. Being open less than a week, business looks ready to take off with two Christmas parties already booked for later this year, Castle said.

Purse snatcher nabbed

An Erlanger man has been charged with snatching purses from shoppers in a WalMart parking lot. Timothy Hill, 45, is charged with two counts of second-degree robbery, Florence police said. The first robbery occurred on Oct. 23 when Karla Parks,

35, was walking alone in the parking lot of the Supercenter on Doering Drive. The suspect came up behind her, grabbed the purse on her shoulder and dragged her to the ground, said Florence police spokesman Capt. John McDermond. The suspect ran to a car and drove away. Parks, of Burlington, was not injured. Then on Oct. 25, Beverly England, 36, was walking with her purse in a shopping cart in the parking lot when the suspect grabbed the purse. England chased him and jumped on the hood of his car to keep him from driving away. Though she was thrown from the hood of the car, England, of Burlington, told police she was not injured.

Fewer Turfway races

Turfway Park will cut the number of live racing dates next year from five days a week to three days in January and February in what track operators say is an effort to continue offering competitive racing experiences for patrons and horsemen. The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on Oct. 27 approved the requested reduction to 81 live racing dates for 2010 at Turfway Park. The reduction means live racing will be cut from five days a week to Fridays through Sundays in January and February. Live racing will take place four days a week in March, when Thursday racing is added to the schedule. Turfway customarily has between 100 and 105 live racing dates a year. Bob Elliston, president and CEO at Turfway Park, said the reductions are necessary to deal with new economic realities in the horse racing industry. Kentucky News Service

Council considers new shooting range By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

The police are looking for a spot for target practice. During council’s Oct. 28 budget retreat, City Coordinator Rick Lunnemann pre-

sented a request from the Florence Police Department to enter into an agreement which would allow construction of a new shooting range. Currently the department travels to Lawrenceburg,

Ind., for weapons training and pays $1,600 a year to use the facility. Because of the size of Florence’s force and the number of departments using the range, the department is having trouble

using the facility to fit its needs, Lunnemann said. While the airport and the Boone County Sheriff’s Department have shooting ranges, those ranges can only be used for handguns. Republic Services Inc.,

parent company of CSI of Northern Kentucky, is offering to lease a 3-acre plot of land at its Grant County landfill for the construction of a shooting range that would fit the department’s needs. The range would cost $90,000, which would be funded out of the department’s seized asset fund. By law, the seized asset fund can only be used for one-time expenses. In exchange for using the range, the Grant County Jail and Sheriff’s Department offered grounds maintenance of the facility. The range would cost around $2,450 a year to run, but the department expects to bring in $3,000 a

year from letting other departments use it, Lunnemann said. Council Member David A. Osborne worried about legal troubles that may arise from owning a building in a different county. “From my understanding, that should not be a problem,” Lunnemann said. Council Member Mike Apgar credited the department with coming up with a creative solution to a problem that wouldn’t involve taxpayer money. At council’s request Lunnemann will get more information from the police department and Republic Services before moving forward.

Field credited for Freedom success By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

Artificial turf made a real difference for the Florence Freedom. Freedom General Manager Kari Rumfield stopped in to the Oct. 28 Florence City Council meeting to give an update on what the team is doing. “We had a very successful 2009 season,” Rumfield said. Despite the down economy, the team saw an increase in attendance and won the Frontier League’s Commissioner’s Award which goes to a team that sees a turnaround in attendance, stadium quality and promotions. “I was very proud of that,” Rumfield said. Rumfield thanked council for installing the new field turf earlier this year, which cost the city around $1 million. Because of the new field, Champion Window Field can be used for more events than ever, including the 100 youth baseball games played there this year, Rumfield said. “We are now becoming the hub of youth baseball,” she said. Around 200 youth

games are already planned for the field for 2010, Rumfield said. Rumfield credits the new field for Florence being granted the Frontier League tryouts for 2011, which should bring in 300 players from around the world. Rumfield is courting artists to Champion Window Field for concerts but is running into trouble because of competition in Ohio, Lexington and Louisville. The team is close to signing the Charlie Daniels Band for a concert next fall. When the decision was made to fund the new turf for the field, City Council didn’t do a good job of explaining why, said Council Member Mel Carroll. By allowing the field to be used more often, the turf is spurring on economic development, Carroll said. “People are coming to town using our hotels and using our restaurants,” he said. In addition to the growth, the artificial turf cuts down on the need for cutting grass and maintaining it, Carroll said. “A lot of people saw that as an expense, but it was actually a cost savings,” he said.

World of Sports gets nod

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

During its Oct. 28 budget retreat, Florence City Council advised Public Services Director Bob Townsend to move forward with plans for a new World of Sports. Townsend presented five options for the facility ranging from $3.5 million to $5.6 million with each option having varying parts of the building removed. Even if none of the options are chosen, the city would have to pay $500,000 to $700,000 in “Band-Aid” repairs because the building is in such bad condition, said City Coordinator Rick Lunnemann. “Doing nothing is not an option,” Lunnemann said. The most costly option was the only one to include a two-tiered driving range, which would be the only golf course in the region with that feature. Council Members Ted Bushelman and Mel Carroll both suggested going for the two-tiered driving range. “We’ve got to make the thing first class to get people

to show up,” Bushelman said. Carroll likened World of Sports to the debate council had when deciding to build the Florence Government Center and said council then had the courage to do the right thing and provided a building the city could be proud of. “You only have one opportunity to do things right,” Carroll said. Because of the down economy, the city would never get better construction rates than it will now, he said. Council Members Julie Metzger Aubuchon, Kelly Huff and David A. Osborne recommended a scaled-back building that eliminated the second tier on the driving range, but preserved the indoor driving range because it would bringing in revenue all year. Some residents will likely be upset about the money spent, as they usually are when money is spent on parks and Champion Window Field, Osborne said. “Those people do not participate in the recreation

in the city,” he said. Huff, Osborne, Aubuchon, Bushelman and Carroll agreed to move Townsend onto an option that left out the second tier of the driving range, but left in the indoor range, which would cost around $4.8 million, but Council Member Mike Apgar says he won’t be voting to approve such a building. “I would prefer putting a Band-Aid on it,” Apgar said. During his campaigning last year, many residents said they weren’t happy about the money the city was looking to spend on the course, he said. “There’s a lot of risk in the ‘if you build it, assuming they will come,’” Apgar said.

Because of the recession, many people have trouble finding disposable income, and they may not want to spend it at World of Sports, he said. “At the end of the day, it’s a three-par golf course,” Apgar said. Apgar believes if the city held a public hearing on the issue, they would draw a crowd as large as the tax hearing in September that packed the meeting room. “We had a lot of people knock down a parks tax last election cycle,” Apgar said. With the direction of council, Townsend will work with contractors to finalize a plan and likely start construction in March with completion coming nine to 10 months later.

World War II veterans such as Walton City Councilman Lee Frakes are becoming a rare treasure and their stories are even more special. Boone County residents looking to learn something about veterans in time for Veterans Day have an opportunity to view a special exhibit at the Boone County Historical Society Museum. The museum will be open 13 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, and Sunday, Nov. 8. “It gets a lot of veterans involved and it kind of lets them know that people are thinking about them,” said Frakes, 85. Virginia Lainhart, a past president and board member of the historical society, said the county has changed and so many of the older veterans are passing away at a quick rate. She said “the younger ones I sometimes think that they don’t realize that they mean a lot to us too because they are our future history.” The historical society is seeking items from any Boone County veteran involved in any military con-

flict. Frakes was in a B-17 Flying Fortress when the airplane was shot down. He would spend seven months away from England where he was stationed, arriving back on D-Day. Frakes landed in Belgium and was wounded in his back. He hid for a couple days before a farmer’s family took care of him. Through the French underground and the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, he made his way to Gibraltar, a British territory next to southern Spain. From there he went back to England. He was told to go to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, D.C., but with D-Day taking place, he had difficulty getting there. But Frakes’ break came in a bar days later. A first sergeant ordered six beers. When asked by Frakes what he was doing, the officer told him that a general was waiting to go back to America. The first sergeant was the crew chief on the plane and allowed Frakes to board the same flight. Eight hours later Frakes said he was sitting at Andrews Air Force Base.

Longbranch redistricting under way

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

NKY.com/boonecounty. They’ve presented the plans to the Board of Education and at two public forums, where the most common feedback has been that whatever plan is chosen, it needs to address the overcrowding at Stephens Elementary, said Director of Pupil Personnel Mike Ford. Stephens Elementary has become the largest elementary school in the state, holding more than 1,200 students in a building designed for closer to 800.

“We’ve been focusing on Erpenbeck and Stephens,” Ford said. In addition to student population, the committee is focusing on how redistricting will change transportation, he said. “We don’t want to have crossing patterns,” Ford said. The committee also has to look into a crystal ball and redistrict with future development in mind. “That will impact those populations in the future,” Ford said.

Redistricting also focuses on more than just numbers. “We look at keeping communities as much as possible,” Ford said. Like everything in the district, the most important objective for redistricting is deciding what is best for students educationally, he said. Longbranch is being built with a capacity of 750 students. “We don’t want to open a school at capacity, if we can avoid

it,” Ford said. Opening a full school leaves no room for growth, he said. Each redistricting scenario will provide a different number of students for the school, Ford said. With feedback from the board and public, the committee will meet again and likely have a recommendation for the board to vote on at its Nov. 12 meeting.

A new voice will represent students in Boone County. Ryle senior Logan Craven was recently sworn in as Boone County Schools Board of Education’s Student Representative. Craven was elected by his fellow students to be a voice for them on the school board. The position has no voting power, but has a seat on the school board. Being named to the position is an exciting opportunity to make education real, Craven said. “I can take what I’m learning and use it right now,” he said. During his year of service, Craven hopes to address issues like the lack of healthy food

Schools to honor veterans Local schools are planning observances of Veterans Day. Goodridge Elementary School will be hosting a Veterans Recognition Program at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11. All veterans and active duty personnel are invited to attend this event as the school honors them for their service to our country. Honored guests will enjoy patriotic music, brief presentations and will introduce themselves, their branch of service and dates served. Last year Goodridge had about 75 veterans and active duty personnel in attendance and had representatives from every branch of service from World War II veterans to active duty.

Each year proceeds from the dinner, silent auction and raffle are used to help with projects throughout the chapter. Hours are 5 to 8:30 p.m. This year, in conjunction with St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Ryle

FBLA will be creating a Children’s Recreation Center at the St. Elizabeth Florence location. The recreation center will be used by the pediatric clinic as well as the emergency room to help ease the nerves of both children being seen and those children who may be accompanying another patient. The project is a big undertaking for Ryle – about 500 people are

expected – and a portion of the proceeds from the FBLA Spaghetti Dinner will help to design, construct and outfit the room. Each meal includes salad, LaRosa’s spaghetti and meatballs, homemade desserts, Bruster’s ice cream and a drink. Raffle and silent auction items include a 42-inch Panasonic plasma television, Bengals tickets,

University of Kentucky tickets, Reds tickets, an autographed John Calapari book, and a BC Rich electric guitar. Tickets are available at Ryle High School for $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12 or at the door for $6 for adults and $4 for children under 12.

Troops” program wins a pizza party. The school will deliver the candy to the mayor’s office at the Florence Government Center. The

options in cafeterias, the lack of sports and activities available to elementary and middle schools and setting up some kind of recognition for students who do well in the classroom. “I want to get whatever the kids want out there,” Craven said. Craven is the president of Ryle’s Future Business Leaders of America and student ambassador program as well as a member of the National Honor Society, the math honor society and St. Timothy’s Parish. “I have been extremely impressed,” said Board of Education Chair Karen Byrd. Craven is very personable and has the interest of students in mind, Byrd said. “I can see why the students took to him,” she said.

mayor’s office will take the candy to Wal-Mart, which will ship the candy overseas to U.S. troops.

Freedom in winter league

A couple of Florence Freedom players as Billy Mottram and Justin Pickett are planning on spending their fall and winter months in Florida playing in the Florida Winter Baseball League. The FWBL, set to kick off its inaugural season in a week, promotes itself as a developmental league “Where Tomorrow’s Stars Play Today,” and is composed of players from eight different Independent Leagues and some affiliated systems. Mottram hit .281 this past summer with the Freedom while finishing second on the team in home runs with 23 and first in RBIs with 79.

Playoffs arrive for Boone Co. schools By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Boone County, Conner and Ryle high schools will begin their playoff chase for the Class 6A title Nov. 6. All three teams will be paired with opponents from District 3, one of the three Louisville groupings in 6A. Ryle will be the lone team playing at home, hosting Pleasure Ridge Park (3-7). Conner travels to Dupont Manual (4-6) and Boone County to St. Xavier (9-1). The winners of the Ryle/PRP and Boone/St. X games will play each other in Round 2. Due to seeding, Ryle would host Boone and travel to St. X. Boone would travel to PRP as well. Conner would play the winner of Simon Kenton (91) and Butler (6-4). Conner would host Butler and travel to SK. In the third round, the remaining two teams from these two districts will play each other, with the better seed hosting. If it’s the same seed from each district, the Louisville district gets the home game. The winner of that thirdround game will travel west for the state semifinals to play the survivor of the District 1 and 2 bracket. Henderson County and Greenwood (both 7-3) are the district champions there.

Trimble scored later in the quarter but missed the extra point that would have tied the game. Freshman Cory Bennett’s second-quarter PAT proved to be the key point for the

St. Henry ends year with 20-2 mark By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Tears flowed freely on the St. Henry bench after the girls’ soccer team ended its season sooner than it would have liked. The Crusaders lost 2-0 to Notre Dame in the state sub-sectional round (round of 16) Oct. 27 at Dixie Heights. St. Henry finished 20-2, with both losses to Notre Dame. “They have a lot to be proud of,”

said St. Henry head coach Steve Lorenz. “We felt we could get all the way to Georgetown (state semifinals). This is arguably the best team that has come from St. Henry. We’ve been building towards this year.” The teams battled to a scoreless draw until Notre Dame senior Torrie Lange scored off a free kick from 25 yards out. That came with 27 minutes left in the second half. “In matches like this the game will favor who scores first,” Lorenz

said. “The first half was pretty even.” The Crusaders lost in this round for the second straight year. This year, the Crusaders won their second straight All “A” state championship, and won the 17th District and Ninth Region titles. They allowed 10 goals all year, four to Notre Dame in two games. Stephanie Hasken had 14 shutouts in goal to lead the state. St. Henry was second in the state in goals with five per game.

Libby Leedom (28 goals) and Abby Janszen (27) were in the top five in Northern Kentucky. Natalie Vaught and Taylor Gamm had eight apiece. Abby Felthaus was second in the state with 24 assists. Felthaus and Hasken are seniors, as are Marissa Vujnovich, Kaysie Worley, Katie Tolbert, Carly McArtor, Jenna Musgrave, Alayna Earl, Carolynne Felix and Gabby Jimenez.

Pandas go for state soccer title By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Notre Dame Academy soccer team has lived by its defense through much of the postseason. The offense broke out Oct. 29 to the tune of an 81 win over Bourbon County in a state quarterfinal game in Paris. Notre Dame will play Daviess County (20-3) 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5 at Georgetown College. The winner goes to the state final 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. The potential opponents are Sacred Heart (171-2) and Lexington Catholic (19-4-1). Notre Dame beat both those schools this season. The Pandas will look for their second state title after winning it all in 2004. The Pandas have allowed just 14 goals all season, and just one in eight contests preceding the Bourbon match. In the quarterfinal, NDA scored its first goal 16 minutes into the game on a ball from senior Courtney Clark. Senior Torrie Lange scored the second goal, and Clark’s cousin Chandler Clark made it 3-0 at halftime. Courtney Clark scored her second and third goals of the game in the second half to make it 5-1.

JOSEPH FUQUA II/STAFF

Notre Dame’s Brandi Schsartz battles for control of the ball against St. Henry’s Carly McArtor in the first half of NDA’s 2-0 win in a sectional game Oct. 27 at Dixie Heights. Sophomore Belle Leininger had two goals down the stretch, and junior Emily Combs had the final marker. Courtney Clark enters the state semifinals with a team-high 13 goals and seven assists. Heather Shelton has 11 goals. Alexa Clark and Sydney Scheben have seven apiece. The previous round featured Lange, a senior midfielder, facing off against her cousin, Abby Felthaus from

St. Henry. “It was a big deal,” said Lange. “We’re both seniors, so one of us was going out. We had our whole families here.” Lange provided the winning blow in that game off a 25-yard free kick with 27 minutes left in the game. Notre Dame won 2-0 on a later goal by Alexa Clark. “It feels awesome,” Lange said. “We have to keep working hard and we’ll have a good chance.”

Colonels learn from early struggles By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Al Hertsenberg changed the defensive system of his Covington Catholic soccer team this season, switching to more of a zone-oriented scheme. The Colonels struggled with it early in the season against a tough schedule that included some of Cincinnati’s better teams and Louisville Trinity. CovCath started 2-5, giving up 13 goals in that span. The Colonels have allowed just six goals since then en route to a 12-1-1 streak. Defense was expected to be a big key against St. Xavier Wednesday, Nov. 4, in the state semifinals. St. X (21-1-1) the defending state champ, has outscored opponents 109-10 this year. The winner plays in the state final against Greenwood or Danville at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Georgetown College. CovCath allowed just one goal in its first five postseason games heading into the state semifinals.

“We took our lumps over there (in Cincinnati) putting in a new system,” Hertsenberg said. “Halfway through the season, we started to figure it out. We hadn’t given up many goals lately. These guys are really playing well as a unit.” The defense shut out some dynamic forwards in the postseason, including Scott’s Alec Robbins and Montgomery County’s Christian Jauregui, who each has 26 goals this year. After CovCath’s 2-0 win over Montgomery in the state quarterfinals Oct. 28, senior goalkeeper Brett Futscher praises his teammates for his eighth shutout. “Our outside backs stuck to (Jauregui),” Futscher said. “Everybody found him, everybody talked a lot. Whenever he ran, we shifted with him. I only had to make two or three saves.” The goals have been generated by sophomores lately. In the past four games, Evan Talkers has three and Sam Mullen three. Talkers enters the semifinals with a teamhigh 19 goals and Mullen

has eight. Against Montgomery, Talkers scored the first goal early in the first half after nifty footwork to beat the Indians goalie. “I just kind of took the guy one on one, beat him, and got it in the corner,” he said. “I was excited. It was a great feeling.” In the second half, Mullen scored for the third straight game on a header, this time off a free kick from Garrett Justice. Mullen’s brother Ben was on the last CovCath team to make the state semis in 2003. “It’s a great feeling,” Sam Mullen said. “My brother made it to the final four and it’s been a goal of mine to make it farther than he does.” Hertsenberg appreciates the boost the younger players have given his offense. “This senior class has really included the sophomores as part of the team,” he said. “These guys work as hard as anybody else, and our seniors say if you can score, go ahead and score.”

Lower revenue tied to economy

Even though the calendar tells us it’s November of 2009, Boone County Fiscal Court has completed its first quarter of Fiscal Year 2010. At the Fiscal Court meeting last Tuesday, County Administrator Jeff Earlywine and County Treasurer Lisa Buerkley delivered the first budget report for the fiscal year. I would like to share some highlights of their report. Boone County finished the previous fiscal year (FY 2009) with an increase in the fund balance and emergency reserve funds. While there have been reports of other local governments struggling, we were able to save enough resources in unencumbered funds for emergencies and other unforeseen conditions and deal with fluctuations in our budget. We tightened our belt last year through conservative spending and discipline. Because of our financial strengths, Boone County possesses one of the best bond ratings in the Commonwealth. This is a measurement of the fiscal health of a governmental organization. The revenue for the first quarter of the fiscal year is below what was forecasted in the budget. Property tax revenue is lower due to property valuations and the decision to not raise the county’s tax rate. Automobile taxes revenue is also down but franchise tax revenue will actually show a slight increase over the staff’s forecast. Due to higher unemployment and reduced economic activity, first quarter payroll tax revenue is also down below what was projected, and below this same time last year. Overall this represents a 4 percent decrease from the budget forecast. I know of many friends in business and other governments who would be pleased with

only a 4 percent decrease so we have to take this in stride. Revenue from fees and other nontax sources such as building permits are also Gary W. below projecMoore tions. In total, if Community these same concontinue, Recorder ditions the General guest Fund is on pace columnist to generate about $1.3 million less in revenue than what was originally forecast in the budget. Now for the good news. Expenses are down thanks to the strong fiscal management of the administration and the county’s departments. The first quarter yielded no significant surprises in expenses this year and we’re on pace to under spend approximately $500,000 for the entire fiscal year. This effort will reduce the effect of the revenue shortfall. We will continue to use our same management style to address other issues as they present themselves. In summary, we continue to make adjustments in our expenditures like many of you due to the sluggish economy. These budget challenges are not due to overspending but rather a reduction in revenue. Because of our conservative fiscal policies, we’ll come out stronger and better prepared to continue making Boone County a great place to live, work and raise a family. If I can ever serve you, please don’t hesitate to call me. Gary W. Moore is Boone County judge-executive.

What is the scariest movie you’ve seen? The scariest movie villain? What made them so scary? “I can’t remember the last scariest movie I saw ... maybe ‘Poltergeist’ ... living in today’s society is scarier than I can handle.” Florence “I don’t watch scary movies. The evening news is frightening enough for me.” G.G. “I wouldn’t waste my money on today’s ‘scary,’ i.e. blood, violence, gore, sex, etc. but a long, long time ago I loved what I thought was scary was all the Frankenstein movies. What your imagination can dream up is a lot scarier.” Duke “Scariest? ‘The Exorcist’! The reverse spider walk down the steps scene makes me leave the room. At that point, what’s the use for a priest? Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is pretty scary.” T.S. “I would have to say the scariest movie I ever saw was ‘Psycho’ directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It

As opposed to today’s blood and guts (make you sick) movies this one really kept you on the edge of your seat. Plus seeing it in the theater added to the suspense. ‘The Exorcist’ was a close second. Most of today’s scary movies are more about special effects and less about acting and directing.

Halloween dungeon

A sincere and green goodbye I am going to be honest: This month’s column has actually very little to do with the environment. I apologize. I’m sure that in the coming months, readers will be regaled with more info on ecology than many can possibly fathom. However, I will not be around to peruse these columns because … … Because I’m leaving. Life is so funny. When I was hired to the illustrious Division of Solid Waste, I knew very little about the ways of Kentucky environmentalism. I was simply an English major armed with a little bit of public speaking experience and a whole lot of optimism. And now, after seven eventful years here, I am moving on to another great adventure. My last day serving Boone County was Oct. 30. And it seems that no matter how excited I am about beginning this new chapter in my memoir, I can’t help but feel a little blue because this job was awesome. Truly. So indulge me in taking a moment to thank those who have made my task of increasing environmental awareness incredibly

rewarding. Thanks to those who have supported me. This includes my family, my refuse mentor Ms. Mary Dickey, our enforceBecky ment czar Kelly Haltermon Chapman, the Community captain of Public Greg Recorder Works Sketch and guest Judge-Executive columnist Gary Moore. I have tried programs and failed. I have accidentally annoyed people. I have pushed various boundaries – intellectual, comfort, and good taste, to name a few – and no matter what kind of mess I find myself in, there have been a posse of people willing to pick me up. You do not know what this has meant to me. Thanks to those who have opposed me. Curiously, this also includes my family as well as some unrepentant litterbugs, folks to steal garbage services, individ-

uals who dis what I do, and any number of residents who question their government. I sincerely thank you for making me take responsibility, defend my actions, and push to improve my programs. Constructive criticism is nothing to take for granted. Finally, thanks to you. Thank you, Boone County. I was lucky enough to be born and raised here and found myself especially blessed with the task of keeping our home beautiful. I hope that the work I’ve done has improved this land I love for everyone. It’s been an honor. Bye bye, Boone County. Whatever state I live in, whatever employment I happen to land, I will always be at heart a Kentucky girl with a heart of green. Becky Haltermon was the Boone County Solid Waste Education and Litter Abatement Program Coordinator. You can drop her a line a rebeccahaltermon@gmail.com.

Another Boone County mystery It was Monday, 9 a.m., in the middle of August. The forecast for the week was for the temperature to exceed 90 degrees each day – and I had the week off. Perfect! I packed my lunch, collected the tools of my trade – several pens, a couple of legal pads, and a magnifying glass – and drove toward the Boone County Records’ Office. I shivered in anticipation of the day’s discoveries: it would be Daniel Boone’s “long hunt”; it was Mel Fisher’s dive on the Atocha! When I entered the records’ room, Stacy and Wanda greeted me and shoved the sign-in sheet in my direction. They knew my routine and my love for this world that once was – the nether land of ancient manuscripts, of wills and deeds, of marriage licenses and suits. Today, after signing in, I began my descent into the dank, musty basement, into the 18th and 19th centuries. My current goal was to try to trace the history of my farm back as far as possible. On an earlier visit, I had found that there had been only five families since 1859 who had owned this farm, but I was determined to push on past the 1859 purchase of my acreage by William Huey from John Marshall. I worked my way slowly through those dust-covered boxes of hand-written documents, and with every piece of paper I pulled out, I expected success. No such luck. The next day, having once again packed a sandwich, I headed toward the records’ room in

Burlington. As I signed in and began to traverse the stairs to the world of William S. Huey, John Marshall, et al, I salivated much like an Harold animal anticipatMcFarland ing its next Boone meal. By 11 I had County a.m., worked my way Historic back to an excitPreservation ing but someReview Board what confusing document: an indenture made May 14, 1845, conveying to John Marshall and his heirs a tract of land consisting of 62,781 acres lying in Western Boone County, land conveyed to the deceased Obadiah Smith through patent by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, November 20, 1804. Seeing Marshall’s name mentioned frequently in these brittle records reminded me of Boone County’s oldest farrier and blacksmith, my dear friend Harry Stephens, who died recently at the age of 89. At one point during our many conversations, he had told me that John Marshall was his great- grandfather. If John Marshall had, indeed, won over 62,000 acres in court, why had Harry not mentioned that? Why wasn’t Harry rich? I felt the best place to look for some answers was in Marshall’s will; and after a few days of my escaping the searing August heat, the records’ room relinquished its

hold on his hand-written will: he had given his offspring several hundred dollars, as well as 100 plus acres of land. What about the 62,000 acres? If it wasn’t delineated in the will and if, in fact, Marshall gave only a few hundred dollars to his children, how does one explain the disappearance of all that land? Is it possible that there was more than one John Marshall during this same time period and place and, therefore, another avenue to explore regarding the missing land? Does it, perhaps, mean that this 1804 patent granting Obadiah Smith 62,781 and 1/2 acres and conveyed to John Marshall in 1845 is still in force? Could the descendants of Marshall, unbeknownst to them, still own much of Western Boone County? I’m sure it will take me many more trips to the records’ room basement to unravel this mystery – but in January when the mercury dips toward zero and the earth is heavy with snow, I’ll once again pack my lunch and immerse myself in the world of long ago, a world which gives up its secrets ever so slowly – if at all.

Walton-Verona Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Katie Hiatt has a passion that goes beyond the classroom. Along with her daily teaching responsibilities, Hiatt also started a food pantry for needy families with children in the school called Food for Thought. She saw the need for Food for Thought as she saw some of her students coming to class hungry. “We can’t expect them to learn if they’re hungry,” Hiatt said.

With the help of parent volunteers, she gets donated and store-bought food and has a day of the week set aside to allow the families to come get the food. “Katie is sort of an unsung hero in our community,” said Principal Robert Hartman. Over the summer, Hiatt kept the program running with no additional pay, Hartman said. Hiatt’s desire to help comes from being fortunate enough to have her daily needs met, she said. “It’s our responsibility to help those who don’t have that,” Hiatt said.

The 2009 Community Cooking Challenge allowed cooks from all over Boone County to share what’s coming out of their kitchens. Sponsored by the Boone County Extension Homemakers, proceeds benefited the Mary Hood Lutes Scholarship Fund. Linda Green was named a winner for her baked asparagus dip. “I liked it because it only had three ingredients,” Green said. Though she doesn’t do it as much with her children grown and out of the house, Green still loves to cook. “Food still is an important part of people’s lives and get-togethers,” she said. Entries for the contest were compiled into a cookbook distributed by the Extension Service. The cookbook is nice because it will be a continuation of the history of Boone County, Green said. “Years from now, someone will read the cookbook,” she said. Cookbooks are available by calling the Extension Office at 586-6101. Here are some of the recipes:

The longing that never goes away have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are ever restless until they rest in you.” Admit it or not, there is a spiritual component of our nature. It is a longing for the transcendent, for God. For a creature, total fulfillment will only be found permanently with its Creator. Strange, but many of us fear our spiritual longing. Why fear it? One reason is because we think it will cost us too much of our humanness and the enjoyment of this life. Paradoxically, it will increase it. We fear, as Francis Thompson feared as he ran from God, “Lest having thee, I might have naught else besides.” We also fear publicly admitting our need for God because of the secular implications that say only the mentally deficient believe in a God. In response to this fear of spirituality, James W. Jones, professor of religion at Rutgers University, says, “The struggle to find meaning by connecting with a universal, cosmic, moral and sacred reality represents not a failure of nerve, the onset of premature senility, or a lapse into neurosis, but is rather a natural part of the unhindered development process. The denial of this quest for the

First Church of God hosts holiday bazaar The Florence First Church of God invites the public to its annual holiday bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be all sorts of crafts, candles, jewelry and holiday decorations for sale.

The church will also have a bake sale. Snacks will be available. There is still room for a few vendors. Call Linda at 859-496-0942 or Voni at 859-918-1158. The church is located at 6767 Hopeful Road.

transcendent debilitates and impoverishes our life.” Got that? This doctor of psychology at a prestigious university is telling us it’s quite normal to realize you long for God. You’re not neurotic or senile for doing so, you’re not weird; in fact you’re being true to your nature. It makes your life worse by not doing so. Spirituality is not optional. Certainly we need material possessions to live, and enjoyment to thrive, but we need a spiritual dimension to live fully. It enables us to find purpose and meaning

Our consumer society says our longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. and connects us our source and destiny. It fills out our picture. The fact that longing constantly nips at our heels proves it’s not optional. It’s crucial for general health. “Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is to say over 35, there has not been one whose

problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life,” wrote Carl Jung. Our consumer society tries to contradict that Jungian idea. It says our longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society that tells its people they should live a certain way, if that way is fundamentally in opposition to what people are by nature, produces what Nietzsche termed the “sick animal.” There is a longing down

deep where the sparks of our humanity smolder. Though we enjoy this wonderful world, our longing wants to call us ever onward and up where we belong.

The experience of longing is familiar to everyone. Throughout a lifetime we long for myriads of things – a special toy, a friend, popularity, a lover, Father Lou m o r e m o n e y, Guntzelman better sex, Perspectives a promot i o n , health and so it goes. Yet no matter what we acquire or achieve the ache of longing is never completely erased. Eventually there’s something or someone else we think we need in order to be happy. Longing is a sign of our incompleteness. We never reach a prolonged time when we hold something in our hands and say, “This is all I ever wanted and all I will ever need.” One of last century’s most prominent Protestant theologians, Jurgen Moltmann, wrote: “Once awakened by specific promises that stretch further than any fulfillment … once we have caught in them a whiff of the future, we remain restless and urgent, seeking and searching beyond all experiences of fulfillment …” St. Augustine told us the same centuries ago, “You

There’s a good amount of interest in the chicken chili Good Samaritan serves in their cafeteria. Friend, great cook and Good Sam’s cath lab queen (my given title) Kay Hitzler found out it’s a purchased product. Kay’s group in the catheter lab held a tailgating lunch and Melissa Schaiper, a colleague of Kay’s, brought a crockpot chicken chili that was a huge hit. Kay said Melissa’s chili is a bit spicier than Good Sam’s. So I would say use a mild salsa.

Spray crockpot. Add:

1 pound chicken breast 4 cups canned Great Northern beans 12 oz. salsa 1 teaspoon each: cumin and garlic Cook six hours on low. An hour before serving, stir in 4 ounces of pepper jack cheese. Serve with 4 more ounces of cheese. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you want, stir in more cumin and garlic after six hours. More chili recipes: In my online column at www. communitypress.com and at

I developed this for the book “Sports Nutrition for Idiots.” Flaxseed is optional and the store-bought version doesn’t contain this. 4 cups popped corn 1 tablespoon flaxseed 1 cup caramel ice cream topping, heated in microwave Mix popcorn and flax. Pour topping over, stirring to coat as well as you can. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 250degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Makes 4 cups.

Fern’s chili. For Pam Timme. “It was in the Enquirer long ago and I’ve lost it.” I’m wondering if it’s Fern Storer’s recipe. She was the Post food editor for years and a wonderful cook. Red Lobster’s sundried tomato salad dressing. For Dwight. He had no luck calling the company. (They don’t serve it anymore). He also went online, researched recipe books, etc. Mio’s creamy garlic dressing. Spoke with Chris Forbes, owner of the Milford Mio’s. “Can’t divulge it. There’s garlic, sour cream, milk, pepper and sugar in it.” When I asked if there was any vinegar, lemon juice, etc., he said no. If anyone has a creamy garlic recipe similar, please share. Bravo’s strawberry lasagna for Betty Hawley. I’m giving up on this Augusta, Ky., restaurant’s dessert. I’ve made several calls to the owner, who at first thought she might share, but she hasn’t returned my calls.

In place of the weekly luncheon meeting at the Hilton Hotel on Turfway Road in Florence, the members of the Florence Rotary Club went on a field trip to Burlington to visit Boone County Sheriff Mike Helmig’s Office. Rotary was welcomed by Col. Les Hill, chief deputy and also a member of the Florence Club. Detective Josh Quinn, a member of the Sheriff’s Management Team, gave a presentation on the organization and duties of the department and a tour of the facilities. Boone County has the second largest sheriff’s department in the state of Kentucky and one of only a handful of sheriff’s offices accredited by the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police. Of the many different law enforcement agencies in the state, Boone County is the fourth largest. Quinn told of many services provided the citizens of Boone County by the department. The uniformed traffic control officers, the deputies we most often see on a daily basis, are only a part of the department duties. They are members of the Patrol Division. The Patrol Division is the backbone of American law enforcement and your first responders to 911 calls, traffic accidents and a wide variety of other incidents. The SWAT Team that helped provide security for former President Bush’s visits to the area also belongs to the Patrol Division. The deputies in the Criminal Investigation Division have been recognized for their success in solving a wide variety of crimes, including homicide, electronic, property and sex crimes. Det. Tim Adams was the recipient of the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award presented by the Florence Rotary in 2009 for his outstanding work in property crime cases. The Sheriff’s Department provides Court Services, including courtroom and other building security and prisoner extradition and transportation. The Administrative Division has a Training Unit and provides community outreach and school resource officers. This unit also is responsible for collecting your county property taxes. Quinn’s presentation was an enjoyable educational experience. Rotary mem-

Potted bulbs can ‘light up’ your spring anywhere You can “light up” your yard next spring by planting spring bulbs in the ground now. But guess what? You can do the same thing to light up your outdoor containers next spring, or to bring spring bulb colors inside your home. Instead of planting bulbs in the ground, simply plant them in a pot. Growing spring bulbs in a container is easy. Here’s what you’ll need for your potted spring bulbs: • 4-, 6-, 8-inch or larger

pots, with g o o d drainage holes in the bottom • A good grade potRon Wilson ting mix • EspoIn the m a ’ s garden Bulbtone (a fertilizer) • The bulbs of your choice. Any of the spring flowering bulbs will work, so look at doing some pots of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths for great fra-

grances, and a few minor bulbs, like crocus, for early colors. Take your pots and place about an inch or two of the potting mix in the bottom. Then, evenly distribute your bulbs in the mix, point up, and feel free to plant them a little closer than you would normally in the ground. For the tulips, place the flat side of the bulb to the outside of the pot. Cover your bulbs with more of your soil-less mix, sprinkle on a little bulb food,

and then continue to fill the pot to the top, lightly compressing the soil as you fill. Water your potted bulbs thoroughly, and you’re ready to grow. Now, here’s the secret: You must over winter your potted bulbs in cold temperatures. So, leave your pots sitting outside, watering them when the soil dries out. Once the temperatures outside have become cold, consistently, move the planted bulb pots inside an unheated garage or shed,

put them down in a window well, or actually heel them into the ground, and cover with mulch or leaves for the winter. Check to make sure they have soil moisture when you move them, and water lightly over the winter as the soil dries. Otherwise, just let them sit dormant enjoying the cold temperatures. Early next spring, when the bulbs start to grow, bring them in to the house, or place your potted bulbs in an outdoor planter, give

them a light water soluble feeding, water as needed, and let them do their “spring thing.” When they’re totally finished blooming and growing, you can take them out of the pot, plant them in the garden, and enjoy them for years to come.

Fall a good time to do soil testing

Question: Is this a good time to do soil testing, or should I wait until spring? How deep should I dig to get samples from my lawn, garden and shrub beds? Will the test results tell me how much lime I should add to my garden? Is there a fee? Answer: Fall is a good time to take soil samples for nutrient and pH testing. Fall sampling will often result in

a faster return of results and recommendations from the University of Kentucky’s Soil Mike Klahr Testing Lab. If your Community soil is too Recorder acid, it will guest need lime to columnist raise the pH. If the soil is too alkaline or basic, sulfur may be needed to lower the pH. About two-thirds of the lawn, garden and landscape soil samples brought in to the Boone County Extension Office have pH

levels higher than needed for optimum plant growth. Many of these would benefit from the application of sulfur, whereas lime would actually be harmful if added. Therefore, lime (and wood ashes as well) should never be added to soil unless a soil test reveals the need. Both lime and sulfur take several months to raise or lower soil pH, so fall is a good time to apply whichever one is needed. By garden planting time in the spring, hopefully the soil pH will be properly modified. Lawns should be fertilized primarily from September to December. Landscape trees and shrubs need fertilized in late November or early March. Fruit trees and bush fruits should be fertilized in February. Phosphorus and potassium can be applied to flower beds and vegetable gardens in the fall, but wait until spring to apply nitrogen, or else the rains and melting snow will leach it

However, if manure will be used on a garden, berry patch or orchard, it should be applied in the fall, due to food safety concerns. Collect at least five to 10 soil cores for each lawn, garden or landscape area. Take the soil cores randomly throughout the area to be sampled and place in a bucket. All soil core samples should start at the soil surface and go down to the recommended depth given for each specific crop listed below. Don’t include any mulch or plant parts in the soil sample. After all cores from one crop area are collected and placed in the bucket, crush the materials and mix the sample thoroughly. Allow the sample to air

dry in an open indoor space free from contamination. Spread the soil out to dry on newspapers. Do not dry the sample in an oven or at an abnormally high temperature. When dry, crumble the soil and fill a 2-cup sample container with soil. Soil sample bags and information forms for submitting samples are available at your local County Extension Office, where the soil testing service will be free in Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties. For established lawns, sample the top 2 inches of soil only. Areas to be tilled up for a new lawn should be sampled to a depth of 4 inches. For annual flowers, sample the top 6 to 8 inches of soil, but for perennials,

sample the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. Don’t take samples too close to foundations, sidewalks, driveways or limestone graveled areas, unless these are treated as separate “problem areas.” Granular dry fertilizer can be added to the flower garden when it is tilled in the spring. For home landscape trees and shrub beds, sample the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. Take samples from under the dripline of established trees (under tips of the longest branches all the way around the tree), or just outside the root ball or planting area for newly planted trees. When testing home vegetable gardens, sample the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. For tree fruits, sample the top 12 to 18 inches of soil. If sampling around bush fruits and vine fruits, sample the top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Allow two weeks to get the results back from your soil test. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

Save on energy bills this winter Winterizing a home can reduce energy consumption and reduce costs. A good way to decrease home heating costs is to reduce energy losses by sealing duct leaks, caulking, and weather stripping. No-cost or minimal-cost ways to lower heating bills are to have a home energy audit done, regularly clean or replace air filters and lower heating system and hot water heater thermostats. Other ways to lower home heating expenses are to install a programmable thermostat, have a professional inspect the heating system annually, add more insulation and buy energyefficient models when appliances must be replaced. Inspect ducts for sections that should be joined, but have separated, and for obvious holes. Leaking ducts reduce the efficiency of a forced-air furnace or heat pump by 20 percent, causing equipment to work harder than necessary and leading to early repairs or replacement. Air leaks caused by gaps and cracks and insufficient insulation contribute to high

New water heaters may have higher-than-necessary temperature settings, or you may find a lower hot water temperature is sufficient for the household. A temperature setting of 115 to 120 degrees provides comfortable hot water for most uses, unless 140 degrees is needed for dishwashing. Review the dishwasher owner's manual, because the appliance may not require this high a temperature. Lowering the heating system thermostat to 70 degrees Fahrenheit or lower is another practice to reduce energy use. Going from 72 degrees F to 68 degrees can save 15 percent or more on your gas bill, and programmable thermostats can save even more. A programmable thermostat automatically adjusts your home's temperature setting to save energy when you are asleep or not at home. Regulating the home temperature with four programmable settings can save about $100 on annual energy costs. This thermostat will pay for itself in energy savings within a few years.

energy bills. Properly sealing a home can reduce energy bills by up to 10 percent. Caulk and weather strip windows and door frames that leak air. Seal holes, cracks and penetrations between the home interior and attic, exterior walls and floors over an unheated basement or crawl space. Install weather stripping gaskets on all electrical outlets, including those on interior walls. Because caulk and weather stripping reduce indoor-outdoor circulation, assess indoor air quality before applying these materials. Some homes contain dust, harmful gases, mold and other indoor air contaminants, and sealing air leaks without proper ventilation could seal in these air pollutants. Always look at your home's ventilation needs before undertaking practices to tighten air circulation. Dirt and neglect are a major cause of system failures. Regularly clean or replace filters so the system will more efficiently operate. Write the filter clean or replace date on a calendar as a reminder.

Have a licensed professional routinely Diane inspect the Mason heating and cooling sysCommunity tem. Just as Recorder a car tunecolumnist up can improve gas mileage, a seasonal checkup of your system can ensure that it is operating efficiently and safely to maximize efficiency and comfort. A check-up can identify any problems early. Installing high-performance windows is another way to reduce home heating costs. These windows are better insulated and more air tight reducing heating energy consumption and resulting in lower utility bills. Taking some time to look at your homes systems, and making some minor changes and improvements may net you some significant money savings this winter.

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

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.
