Swine flu clinic set

First death confirmed in Boone County

The Northern Kentucky Health Department will be providing the swine flu (H1N1) vaccine to Northern Kentucky residents during community clinics to reach those at highest risk of complications from the swine flu. Approximately 8,000 doses will be available at each free clinic on a first-come, first-served basis. The Health Department has confirmed a death associated with H1N1 in a Boone County male in his 20s. The individual did not have any underlying conditions prior to his death, according to the information provided to the Health Department. The death reported Monday is the third reported in the region and the 20th in the state. “The loss of a young person’s life is tragic, and we extend our sympathies to the individual’s family,” said Dr. Steven R. Katkowsky, district director of health. “This loss stresses the fact that swine flu can be serious and steps must be taken to prevent the illness.” The first clinic was Nov. 11 at the Bank of Kentucky Center. The second clinic is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at Walton-Verona Middle/High School, 30 School Road, Walton. Target groups are pregnant women, caregivers of children under 6 months, parents with children aged 6 months to 4 years and parents with children at highest risk of flu complications The third clinic 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at Summit View Middle School, 5002 Madison Ave., Independence. Target groups are pregnant women, caregivers of children under 6 months, parents with children aged 6 months to 4 years and parents with children at highest risk of flu complications. “The task of vaccinating those Northern Kentucky residents at highest risk from complications from swine flu is enormous, and beyond the scope of any that we’ve faced before,” said Katkowsky. “The large public clinic is a venue that will allow us to vaccinate the most people in the shortest amount of time given the resources that we have. However, we do anticipate that the demand for the vaccine may be great and ask that the public be patient through this process.” Anyone who has an allergy to eggs will not be eligible to receive the vaccine at the public clinics. “Remember that these vaccination clinics are not the only source for vaccine in the community,” said Katkowsky. “Many providers have received doses of the vaccine for their patients, and the Health Department will be vaccinating local school children in the coming weeks as well.” For more information on swine flu vaccination, including a list of commonly asked questions and answers, visit www.nkyhealth.org or call 859-392-0678.

Ed Colina Foundation Board Member Chris Goddard accepts a $10,000 donation for the foundation from the Florence Rotary Club.

Rotary boosts missionary’s work By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

A missionary got a big boost from some old friends. The Florence Rotary Club donated $10,000 to the Ed Colina Foundation. Ed Colina is the former Immaculate Heart of Mary School principal who left the school in 2007 to become a missionary in Kenya. With the donation Colina’s foundation plans to fund the purchase of a 4,500-liter water tank, build a classroom, provide medical van visits and school uniforms. Colina has already been able to put the money to use, and the

water tank is providing clean drinking water for Colina’s school. Colina is a member of the Florence Rotary and his mission matches up with the two main thrusts of Rotary International: providing clean water for everyone and eradicating polio, said Florence Rotary President John Salyers. The money was raised through a raffle Rotary held. Originally planned to be matched by Rotary International, the local group decided to fund the entire donation when the matching process slowed down, Salyers said. “(Colina) inspired us,” he said. The donation is a great way to

show Colina that he hasn’t been forgotten back home, said Chris Goddard, a member of the Ed Colina Foundation board who accepted the donation. “That means everything in the world to him,” Goddard said. While in Kenya, Colina faces challenges like having to be guarded at night while he sleeps in his 100-square-feet home, but having support from home encourages him to keep going, Goddard said. “That inspires him to continue what he’s doing,” he said. To keep up with Colina’s work in Kenya, visit edcolinafoundation.org or follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/JourneyECF.

Ohio casinos may push issue to Ky. By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

Kentucky voters may get the chance to decide on casino gambling like their neighbors to the north recently did. State Sen. Damon Thayer, RGeorgetown, plans to pre-file a bill for the January legislative session that would create a constitutional amendment to put expanded casino gambling on the November 2010 ballot. “I think the voters of Kentucky should have the same ability to decide if they want expanded gambling like in Ohio,” Thayer said. The argument has gone back and forth for too long, and voters are the ones that need to decide, he said. “It’s overshadowing more important issues,” Thayer said. Casino gambling is needed for Turfway Park to have a level playing field with neighboring states, said President and CEO Bob Elliston. “Kentucky is completely out of step with the states we compete with,” Elliston said. The Kentucky horse racing industry competes with 12 states, and before Ohio passed its casino gambling amendment, 11 of those 12 supplemented their racing with casinos. Ohio is now the 12th to have casino gambling.

JUSTIN B. DUKE/STAFF

Turfway Park President and CEO Bob Elliston believes his park will face a competitive disadvantage now that Ohio will have casino gambling. “I’m not surprised by the outcome,” Elliston said. Ohio voters were facing the same issues as Kentucky voters like high unemployment and entertainment money going to other states, and that’s why they voted for casinos, he said. Before Ohio passed their amendment, Kentucky was

already struggling to compete with other states, Elliston said. “It just continues the competitive disadvantage,” he said. Thayer’s bill should get a lot of attention in January, Elliston said. “I don’t think the legislature is going to sit idly,” he said. Kentucky’s 2010 legislative session begins Jan. 5.

Schools: Hands off rainy day fund By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

As the January legislative session draws near, school districts are wondering what kind of budgets they’ll get. State House Speaker Greg Stumbo drew criticism for suggesting the state take school district’s contingency funds to fill deficits in the state budget. “We do have a bunch of money that the schools have saved in their budgets, their ‘Rainy Day’ funds, and there’s a pretty good sum of money there which will help us get through,” Stumbo told the Courier-Journal last month. Stumbo has since backpedaled on taking school districts’ money saying, “I want to make it clear that I do not believe these

School districts have been warned there may be a 2 percent cut in state funding before the end of the school year. funds can be used for any programs or expenses outside of the school’s district.” Walton-Verona Schools Finance Officer Kevin Ryan believes there was never any intention on taking the money because the funds are a mixture of local, state and federal funds. The state taking that money would have led to a lawsuit, Ryan said. “They wanted to illustrate we have those funds,” he said. School districts have been warned there may be a 2 percent cut in state funding before the end of the

school year, and drawing attention to the contingency funds was Stumbo’s way of telling districts they have the money to cover the cuts, Ryan said. State lawmakers are the only ones who get to run a business operation without a contingency fund and are forcing districts to work the same way, said Boone County Schools Superintendent Randy Poe. “They’re the only ones who don’t understand how a business works,” Poe said. By making districts dip into contingency funds, there’s little encouragement to spend money wisely, Poe said. “Why don’t we just spend every dime?” said Boone County Schools Treasurer Linda Schild. Because districts have to cover their expenses, they

will eventually have to find other revenues, Poe said. “They’re basically saying we should raise our taxes locally,” he said. Knowing trouble is coming, districts are taking action. Poe is recommending the Board of Education pass a resolution in opposition to the state forcing districts to dip into contingency funds. Ryan is preparing Walton-Verona’s January budget assuming an 8 percent decrease in funding so there aren’t surprises. While Walton-Verona can handle this round of potential funding cuts, a regular pattern will cause problems down the road, Ryan said. “At some point the other shoe is going to drop, and it’ll be things we can’t do for our students,” he said.

Bank manager-mom going to prison COVINGTON – A 39year-old Florence woman was sentenced Nov. 9 to two years in federal prison for stealing about $14,000 while she managed U.S. Bank’s Hebron branch. Catherine Keipert pleaded guilty in June to aggravated identity theft. In addition to sentencing her to the statutory minimum for the crime, U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves of the Eastern District of Kentucky also ordered her to pay restitution. “I believe that this is a classic example of why federal sentencing guidelines are wrong,” Keipert’s attorney, Eric Deters, said. “She is a mother of five children. She has no prior criminal history, and the

As part of the plea, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Dusing agreed not to file any additional charges against Catherine Keipert in connection to the scheme. amount of money is under $15,000.” Congress took discretion away from judges when it legislated a two-year minimum for aggravated identity theft, Deters said. He said Keipert took the money to support her family and there was no underlying issue such as an addiction to gambling. As part of the plea, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Dusing agreed not to file any additional charges against Keipert in connec-

tion to the scheme. U.S. Bank officials didn’t return a call Nov. 9 seeking comment. Keipert admitted that she used her position as manager of the branch at 2121 North Bend Road to redistribute customer and bank funds in a way that allowed her to skim from the general ledger account while initially avoiding detection by authorities. She would post excessive credits to selected customer accounts and then

debit the same account and claim she had made a mistake. The debit from the customers account, however, was not then credited – as it should have been – to the general ledger account of the bank. Instead, Keipert withdrew the money using a variety of methods, including forging customers’ signatures on withdrawal slips, and kept the cash for herself. Keipert made 30 fraudulent transactions totaling $14,330.05 from late 2006 to March 2008. Under federal law, Keipert must serve 85 percent of her sentence, and upon release will be on parole for one year. Kentucky News Service

Rotary club to help Maplewood children By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

This will be the last Christmas for children to reside at Boone Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Maplewoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Children Home in Burlington and the Florence Rotary Club is planning to make it

special. The club is aiming to raise $1,000 to purchase items for the children. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home of Northern Kentucky currently operates a residential treatment home for boys at the Maplewood site. Herbert Booth, chairman

of the Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community services committee, noted that this is probably the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final year for Christmas. He said the Rotary has been involved with them over the years doing such tasks as assisting on site with interior painting and shopping with the children when younger children were there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our club is now 65 years old and so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved in this for a long time,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Boone County Fiscal Court voted 3-1 on March 17 to permit county staff to work with Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission on a lease of the site. NKCAC will use the facility for Head Start and weatherization programs. CHNKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-year contract with the county was to expire this past June 30 but the county and CHNK agreed to an extension through March 17, 2010. The Fiscal Court decided in 2004 to lease the home to CHNK, ending the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation of it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not known what will happen to the children at the home when the current

lease expires. CHNK CEO Diane Pipes couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reached for comment. NKCAC has a five-year lease and there is an option for an additional five-year term at the discretion of the Fiscal Court and NKCAC, Boone County Administrator Jeff Earlywine said. NKCAC will pay the county $224,814 over the five years. NKCAC is aiming to have Head Start out of Maplewood by the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. The agency is planning to do some minor renovations, according to Executive Director Florence Tandy. If the Rotary Club doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet its goal, it will make up the difference, according to Booth. He said the club is figuring about $100 per child. He said the Rotary Club hopes to have the gifts ready by Dec. 14. Those interested in donating can mail a contribution to the Florence Rotary Club to its president, John Salyers, 4131 Circlewood Drive, Erlanger, KY 41018 or call him at 801-1282. Checks should be marked for the Maplewood project.

Walton council member to run for fiscal court By Justin B. Duke and Paul McKibben

jbduke@nky.com

A new contender is ready to enter the Boone County Fiscal Court election ring. Walton City Councilwoman Paula Jolley announced Nov. 9 during the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be running for the second district seat of the Boone County Fiscal Court in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections. A Republican, Jolley is challenging GOP incumbent Charlie Kenner who is seeking a third full term. Jolley, 49, has been on Waltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council for seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am ready to step up,â&#x20AC;? Jolley said. During her time on council, Jolley served on Waltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street committee and was the head of the economic development committee that helped bring in the Walton Town Center. Originally from East Liverpool, Ohio, Jolley graduated from Oak Glen High School in New Cumberland, W.Va., and attended West Virginia Northern Community College. Jolley has lived in Walton for 13 years and serves as the worship leader for Walton United Methodist Church.

Currently, Jolley doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any issues sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to tackle, but feels sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for the additional responsibility that comes with the Fiscal Court. Kenner, 55, was elected in 2000 in a special election to complete a term. He was re-elected in 2002 and 2006. He said Jolley seems like a fine individual and he looks forward to the campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a really good record to run on and to stand and (I) look forward to it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Kenner said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run on his record of lowering taxes, doing more with less, responsible government and working with all of the county agencies. He is chairman of the Boone County health board and a member of the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department board. Kenner is a 1972 graduate of Boone County High School. He earned a bachelor of science degree in 1976 and his doctor of medical dentistry degree in 1979 from the University of Louisville. He lives in Union. Even though county commissioners run from districts, the entire county votes on all of them.

New Haven art to help African village By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

A lesson on Africa is going beyond just studying geography. Fourth- and fifth-graders at New Haven Elementary are spending the school year working on a service learning project to benefit the Donumouro village in Niger. This is the fourth year the school has done a service learning project, but they’ve always been local projects. “We decided we were going to take a more global approach,” said teacher Lisa Lokesak. Lokesak and fellow teacher Mari Beasley visited Donumouro, a stone-age village five hours into the sub-Saharan desert, in January. They learned about the struggle the villagers face with malaria and lack of antibiotics. “A minor cut or scrape on the foot could cause a child to lose a limb,” Lokesak said. Through the project, teachers have been able to teach lessons on climate, economics and time zones.

This is the fourth year the school has done a service learning project. “The best way to teach those big concepts is to give concrete examples,” said teacher Heather Jones. By having these examples, students are more interested in what they are learning. “They can’t wait to learn something new,” Jones said. As students learn these concepts through the backdrop of Africa, they’re working to make a difference. Through their project Art for Africa. they are collecting original art, created by students, teachers and community members which will be sold at the Ryle PTSA Craft Show as well as at a spring art show and sale. Being able to lend a helping hand is making students want to work harder on their art, Jones said. “They are so excited,” she said. The students’ work will be for sale at Ryle Nov. 20 and 21.

Ryle to face St. Xavier in 6A playoffs By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Ryle has advanced in the Class 6A football playoffs after beating Pleasure Ridge Park (3-8) 52-22 Nov. 6 in Union. Ryle takes an 8-3 record into Louisville this Friday to play St. Xavier (10-1), the top-ranked 6A team in the state. The Raiders led 24-0 at halftime after a scoreless first quarter, taking advantage of short fields to score their first three touchdowns. An interception by Ryan Smith set up Ryle’s first score, as Conner Hempel threw a 19-yard pass to Kiefer Eubank with six minutes to play in the second quarter. Ryle got the ball back and got a 29-yard field goal from Erik Pederson to make it 10-0. PRP fumbled the ensuing kickoff, with Ryle taking over at the 15-yard line. Travis Elliott punched it into the endzone from 10 yards out for a 17-0 lead. Following another PRP fumble at its own 10, Ryle scored quickly on a oneyard run from Deion Mullins. Hempel and Mullins connected on a 20-yard TD pass on Ryle’s first drive of

In the first half, Ryle went to the 6-foot-8 tight end four times on jump balls. He caught the first three for 55 yards. The fourth drew a pass interference flag from PRP in the endzone, setting

up Ryle at the PRP 7. Court Mace led Ryle with 18 tackles. Logan Hollman had 15.

The Rebels end their season with a 4-7 record. Boone allowed a kickoff return for a score to begin the game, then gave up a fumble return for a touchdown later in the first quarter. St. X scored on its first play from scrimmage to make

Cougars race for state title Nov. 14 By James Weber

State Schedule

jweber@nky.com

Figuring a third straight regional title was a safe bet, the Conner High School boys’ cross country team put all its chips into winning a state championship. Head coach Jeremy Fisher did not taper the squad, putting them through a hard week of training. It paid off, as the Cougars won the Class 3A, Region 5 title Nov. 7 at Scott High School with 49 points to 74 for second-place Grant County. But Fisher wasn’t thrilled with the mental effort, and wanted his team to refocus on this week’s state meet, Nov. 14 at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. “Anybody who thinks we care about what happened in this meet today isn’t paying attention to what our goals are,” Fisher said. “We won the region without any effort at all. Next Saturday is the big race.” Conner entered the regional second in the state 3A rankings behind Louisville St. Xavier, and lost to St. X by 43 points at the Oct. 24 St. Henry Invitational. Fisher, also an assistant football coach at Beechwood, expects his Cougars to fight hard for the goal line at state.

I have complete faith in these guys.” Sophomore Ben Turner led Conner in sixth place. Joseph Brendel was seventh, Trevor Jarvis ninth, Sean Vandermosten 13th, Ethan Walton 14th, Jonathan Crusham 16th and Andrew Walters 23rd. Besides Turner, the rest are seniors. Conner also sends two girls to the state meet in Laura Sullenbarger (12th) and Madison Cook (14th). Ryle junior Gabby Gonzales won her second straight regional championship, running in 19 minutes, 42 seconds to win by more than 15 seconds.

Twins lead way for Crusaders By James Weber jweber@nky.com

No shoe, no problem for Maria Frigo. The St. Henry District High School senior lost her left shoe halfway through the Class 1A, Region 4 championship meet Nov. 7 at Scott High School. A spike stuck in the ground, enough for the shoe to come partially off, and she had to kick it off the rest of the way. Despite discomfort the last mile and a half, she still won by 24 seconds in 19:56. “I had to pretend it never happened because I would psyche myself out,” she

said. “It’s not comfortable at all but you can’t do anything about it.” She led the team to its eighth straight regional title. The Crusaders will look ahead for their third straight state title and sixth in seven years Nov. 14 at Kentucky Horse Park. Frigo has been set back by various ailments this fall, but was determined. “It’s my last time at regionals, so I wanted to give it everything I had,” she said. Sophomore Lindsey Hinken finished third for St. Henry. Ashley Svec was sixth and Kelsey Hinken seventh. Allysa Brady was 13th to round out the scoring five, with Kirsti Ryan (15th) and Paige Dooley (17th) right behind. Dooley and Kelsey Hinken are also seniors. “Not many teams in the state have three seniors because most girls don’t last

until their senior year,” said St. Henry head coach Tony Harden. “It’s their last race, they need to step up and show their guts.” Harden credited Brady for stepping up from her usual sixth-runner finish, and for helping a competitor who had fallen after finishing. The Frigo name was hard to beat in the boys’ race, too. Armand Frigo, twin brother of Maria, led the Crusaders to victory. He finished fifth. The Crusaders scored 51 points to win by 34 over Ludlow. They will try to make it eight state titles in a row this week. Brendan Dooley was seventh, Nick Wilson ninth, Ben Bessler 13th, Nathan Mark 17th, Zach Haacke 18th and Frank Bruni 24th. Walton-Verona junior Trevin Petersen claimed his first regional title in the 1A boys race. He is the Bearcats’ first regional champ since Ryan Smith in 1995.

I felt very confident all year.” W-V finished fifth as a team in the boys race and third in girls to both qualify for state. Senior Jacob McIntyre finished third for Walton, followed by Jared Dwyer (20th), Jacob Kahmann (36th), Colin Schell (47th), Ethan Warner (50th) and Jacob Nichter (52nd). Freshman Madison Peace finished second to Frigo. Kiersten Schmidt was 11th, Ashley Guevara 16th, Natalie Brown 18th, Kerri Schmidt 20th, and Sarah Parnell 25th.

The players on the Covington Catholic soccer team brought the will-not-die spirit of the school motto into their state semifinal match. For more than threefourths of the Colonels’ contest against St. Xavier, it was enough, but eventually St. X’s roster won out. St. Xavier eliminated the Colonels 4-1 Nov. 4 at Georgetown College. “Over 80 minutes, they were a better team,” CovCath senior Michael Huffmyer said. “We stuck with them for 60 minutes. Their talent and depth just took over.” St. X (22-1-1) advanced to the state final looking for its third straight state championship. CovCath finished 14-7-1. The Tigers, averaging nearly five goals per game this year, came out firing against CovCath with two great scoring opportunities in the first five minutes. CovCath senior goalkeeper Brett Futscher saved two close shots. St. X connected with 15 minutes left in the first half after CovCath could not clear the ball from its zone. Senior Tyler Riggs, who finished the game with 28 goals this season, scored.

CovCath came right back a minute later, as the Colonels kept the ball in the box, with sophomore Sam Mullen finding the loose ball and scoring to tie it. It was the fourth straight postseason game Mullen scored a goal, his ninth overall. The Colonels became just the seventh team to score a goal against the Tigers this season. “That was huge,” Huffmyer said. “Most teams, they get scored on by X, they put their heads down and they get beat 5-0. We came back. We knew we could play with these guys.” After a mostly even second half, St. X grabbed a 21 lead with 24 minutes to play on Riggs’ second goal of the game. St. X scored twice more in the next 10 minutes to run away. “After we scored that first goal, they came back and punched us in the mouth,” St. X head coach Andy Schulten said. “We were on our heels the rest of the half.” CovCath head coach Al Hertsenberg said, “St. X just kept throwing bodies on the field. They were a little more athletic than we were tonight.” CovCath had 13 seniors, nine who started the state semifinal. The starters were Futscher, Huffmyer, Trey Evans, Garrett Justice, Matt McDonald, Evan Haag, Tyler Stewart, Jacob Toebben and Logan Siemer. Others were Stephen Ruh, Chris Steinkamp, Elliot Comfort and Chris Hellmann. Huffmyer had a singleseason record for assists with 18. “The season as a whole was a huge success, making it to the semis,” Huffmyer said. “This is a great team. I love all these kids. We’re not going to dwell on this loss. We’re glad we made it this far.” CovCath returns sophomore starters Mullen and Evan Talkers, the team’s top goal scorers. Mullen and Justice were named to the all-tournament team.

The Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame will induct new members at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18. The public is invited to the ceremony at the Villa Hills Civic Club, 729 Rogers Road. The inductees include Florence man Tony Fields. The 1986 Lloyd Memorial High School graduate played basketball and baseball and has played competitive softball for 23 years. The guest speaker will be Northern Kentucky major league baseball umpire Randy Marsh.

It was a cold, blustery Halloween afternoon when the Thunder Baseball team met at the new Burlington Courthouse. The undefeated D1 Knothole champs of Boone County were not clad in typical baseball attire but dressed in their street clothes with orange safety vests, armed with garbage bags and litter pickup sticks. Their mission, to pass the word about litter control while they walked 3 miles of county roads picking up trash along the way. Rogers Lane, Camp Ernst Road and Distribution Drive were the roads to be handled. A nasty job to say the least, but a lesson well learned by the kids involved about putting trash in its proper place and keeping the streets of Boone County beautiful. A casual “thumbs up” from passing cars and a “thank you” from an occasional jogger was all the Thunder needed to keep them motivated. Empty cigarette packages, beer bottles, soft drink cans and even a whoopie cushion were some of the things found along the way. “At the end of our games, we should have the cleanest dugouts of any team,” said Lisa Ryle, the team mom.

Plan would be disastrous

Our Boone County Planning and Zoning Staff has presented a plan that would have disastrous

impacts on our county. Property will be extorted for public usage during planning and zoning requests. This is an unconstitutional impact fee and becomes a back door tax for home buyers – up to $15,000 per home. This plan invites trespassing into what has traditionally been private neighborhoods. The author of this study even brags about using eminent domain for this blatant theft of private property. And remember, this unfunded mandate will cost our citizens millions in tax dollars for all the trails and greenways construction. Boone County taxpayers are looking for tax relief and we will not stand for more taxes. It is sickening to read that Judge Executive Gary Moore wants to us “future zone changes” as the county’s “tool” of coercion in getting the land he and his planners covet. Our fiscal court should always be looking to save the taxpayers’ money and be working to protect our property rights. For these reasons the Greenways and Trails Study should be scrapped. Fiscal court could do us all a favor by drastically slashing the budget of Boone County Planning and Zoning. Our elected officials should call for the resignation of the green socialists that go by the name of staff. Stephen C. Brueggemann Beaver Road Union

Economy’s impact deepens New economic data paints a disturbing picture of growing poverty. The recession started last year, but its impact has been far greater in 2009. With the jobless rate still climbing and many people unable to find work after months of searching, 1.5 million out-of-work Americans are expected to lose assistance by the end of this year. Unemployment in the eight Northern Kentucky counties averaged 6.0 percent in 2008, but rose to a rate of 10.9 percent by the end of July. If the current recession follows past trends, unemployment and poverty will continue to rise long after the economic recovery. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that assuming an average unemployment rate of 9.3 percent for 2009, poverty will increase this year to 14.7 percent, and will hit children disproportionately hard. For children, the consequences of poverty can be long-lasting, leading to poor nutrition, poor health and poor prospects for suc-

cess in school. In the short term, less money to spend means greater hardships for families and low retail sales for communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Keep Boone beautiful

Strong fathers a great program

The evidence is clear that a strong father figure can make all the difference in the development of children, especially with boys. When you look at the data on this issue, it is so convincing and depressing that it’s amazing that as a society we have not done more to encourage strong father figures. All the millions of dollars the federal, state and local governments spend on social problems could be saved if we as a society were successful in making this issue a priority. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending programs at Burlington Elementary and A.M. Yealey Elementary, appropriately called “Strong Fathers, Strong Families.” To the credit of our Boone County school system this free

11,000 families receiving help with rent, food, energy or other basic needs during the fiscal year that ended on June 30. It was the first time many of these families had requested financial assistance from our agency, indicating that the economy is reaching deeper into Northern Kentucky’s middle class population. Without the combination of federal, state, local and charitable responses more families would be suffering and our economy would be in far worse shape. To avoid choking off the recovery now and to build for the future, we must continue help for the unemployed and work as a region to prevent more layoffs and the resulting hardships. Improving the long-term health of our economy must start with helping those who are hurting most. From what we have seen, the need is unlikely to diminish any time soon. Florence Tandy is executive director of Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission.

CATCH A STAR

PROVIDED

Donna Crowley has been named “Catch a Star” honoree for her volunteer work at the Boone County Public Library.

Former nurse enjoys work at library

Retired after 42 year of nursing, Donna Crowley has brought her skills and personality to the Boone County Library. A native of Covington’s Mainstrasse neighborhood Crowley lived in Dayton, Ohio, and in central Illinois before coming back to Northern Kentucky. Now she and her husband, Ronald, also retired, live in Burlington. Their four daughters are busy raising the family’s next generation – six grandchildren, working on the seventh. Crowley studied and became a registered nurse at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Covington when that was the only St. Elizabeth hospital building in Northern Kentucky.

In March of this year, Crowley started at Boone County Library in her firstever volunteer position. She works in technical services, checking in new acquisitions, getting them ready for circulation “and doing whatever is asked of me.” The other side of technical services is withdrawing books no longer in demand by library patrons. “I am amazed at how much hands-on work is involved in this aspect of the library,” she said. After retiring and finding herself with free time on her hands, Crowley began looking for volunteer opportunities. She chose the library and has found it to be “very pleasant and the people I work with very nice.”

Cooper High School in Boone County will hold a juried craft show on Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., joining Ryle High School in providing area shoppers a great opportunity to pick out original gifts for themselves and others. Put on by the high school PTSO, Cooper hopes to make this a yearly event, as well as a major fundraiser for the many projects they accomplish for students at the school. “We have seen the success that other craft shows have had, and my mother, who has always done crafty things, suggested that we have one,” said Dee Begley, who’s in charge of coordinating the show. “One of the biggest challenges we have is that people don’t know where we are. If people can find us, they’ll find it very enjoyable.” Cooper High School is located on Longbranch Road in Boone County. Visitors can take Camp Ernst Road to Longbranch, which is located on the left before the entrance to Central Park. Begley said there will be a small concession stand, and the chorus will sing a few songs to get people in the mood for the holidays. There will be a booth selling spirit wear held by band members, and volunteers will be on hand to greet people and answer any questions. Co-chair for the event is Terri Codrington, and original committee members included Tammy Scott-Jury and Dim Deeden. “I think we have a nice mix of crafts, from pottery and jewelry to embroidery and photography,” Begley said. “Because it is a juried show, we had to turn away things that were not crafts, like Avon and Tupperware. But we will have a variety of handmade items that are unique – things you can’t get in stores. It’s going to be a good time.” Tickets are $3. To order tickets ahead of time, e-mail Begley at deebe-

Lauren Fredrickson, 7, of Burlington, finds a very festive booth to browse at last year’s Ryle Craft Show in Union. gley@hotmail.com. Ryle High School is also holding its annual craft show on Nov. 20 and 21. Since the school PTSA has held this show for the last 15 years, it is renowned in the area for its size and quality, and draws quite a crowd every year. “This has become a big thing, so big that we have applications sent in the week after the show,” said Mary Schmalzl, who has helped organize the show for the last five years. “We don’t look at them until January, but a lot of crafters want to reserve a space. We have room for 175 crafters, and it is a juried show, so it is not the right venue for non-craft items.” According to Schmalzl, “One of the most unique things I have seen was a person who used real butterflies as artwork. But we also have a gentleman who carves Santas, and one who cuts his own wood, and makes these wonderful buckets out of the wood.” The show on Friday night is 7 to

10 p.m., and it requires tickets which can be purchased at Ryle or by sending a check to PO Box 299, Union, Kentucky, 41091. The tickets, which are $8, are also available at Brusters on U.S. 42, but the tickets are limited to 1,300. Everyone who buys a ticket can come back on Saturday free of charge. Saturday’s show is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and tickets are $3 at the door. More information is available at rylecraftshow@aol.com or by Googling Ryle craft show. “We try to make it the best show possible for everybody,” said Schmalzl. “Crystal Noem is my co-chair, and she works as hard as I do. “Proceeds from the show goes to support many programs, like after prom, Ryle young drivers and scholarships, to name a few. Students volunteer for the shows, and that teaches them the importance of volunteering. It is our biggest fundraiser and allows us to do many things for the students and teachers.”

Hear what some of your friends think of you innate common sense. Prudence is the intellectual ability to choose the right means toward a worthy end. Father Lou howYouoftenknow we Guntzelman struggle with Perspectives puzzling questions of how to spend our money, where to direct our time, how to handle the competing demands of our lives, how to settle differences, etc. A student may wrestle with dilemmas such as, “I think it would be more responsible to stay home and study for the test and not to go to the movies; yet, I’ve been working hard, maybe I deserve a break or find time to do both.” A judgment is called for. A pru-

dent judgment. Situations crying for a prudent decision seem endless in life: how to break bad news gently; whether to punish a fault or let it go this time; how much to become further involved in a risky or flirtatious relationship; what legislation to vote for in an election that will best promote the common good, etc.? All such matters, great and small, are governed by prudence. We become a prudent and wise person not in making one prudent decision. Prudence is the acquired habit of always, or nearly always, choosing the right means to achieve morally good ends. At times it can be agonizing and demand much of us. Former Yale chaplain William Sloane Coffin said, “The first of the four cardinal virtues of the Roman Catholic Church is ‘prudentia,’

$1,000. After the serviceman left, friends and other companies she contacted all raised questions about the air duct cleaning – including whether she really had mold as the serviceman claimed. So, she called and requested a refund, but it was denied. “They said because they had already done the treatment they put it through,” said Smith. I showed Smith the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommendation about duct cleaning. It said duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. “I really wish I would have read this beforehand,”

prudence. While love is the underlying motive for moral action, the essence of moral judgment itself is the astute and wise judgment we exercise by sifting through all the alternatives presented by the concrete world. And since the alternatives are often so complex, wise judgment is itself a skill and constitutes the virtue called prudence. So, if you hear some friends have called you the most prudent person they know, smile, don’t frown. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

SECRETS OF EGYPT

Don’t let air duct cleaners clean you out A local woman says she now regrets ever responding to an ad for air duct cleaning. Although the price in the ad sounded good, she says she had no idea what she was getting herself into. What happened to her should be a cautionary tale for everyone. Nicole Smith of Fort Thomas says she now realizes she should have doublechecked before agreeing to more and more duct cleaning after responding to an ad. “It said they would clean 14 vents and one return for $49.95. I was like, ‘They’re not that dirty, just kind of sweep it through and get it out of there,’ ” she said. Smith said when the serviceman arrived things were different. “He even refused to clean the ducts because he said they had to have something done. He wouldn’t do it, he said he had to treat it first,” she said. Smith ended up agreeing to a host of things. “It was treatment for a sanitizer to control germs, bacteria and feces, and a

which basically means damn good thinking. Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.” Yes, prudence takes damn good thinking – not merely egotistically deciding what fits my agenda. If we develop prudence, it usually comes from the widest possible observation and experience of human behavior, understanding what constitutes psychological health, and a conscientious awareness of the general moral principles with which God has imbued mankind. Prudence has little correlation with book learning. Some people seem to develop it more readily, some otherwise intelligent persons appear slow to catch on, and geniuses may be totally deficient. Making prudent choices is often laborious, yet the complexities of life make it ever more necessary. Thomas Aquinas claimed that the central moral virtue was

Smith told me. The EPA said much of the dirt and dust in air ducts simply adheres to the duct surfaces and does not necessarily enter the living space. So, it said, cleaning should be considered for only severe cases of mold, dust and debris. The EPA also said, “Pollutants that enter the home both from outdoors and indoor activities such as cooking, cleaning, smoking or just moving around can cause greater exposure to contaminants than dirty air ducts.” I contacted the company Smith had hired, explained how it failed to give her three days in which to cancel, as required by law, and the company has now given Smith all her money back.

If, in your absence, some friends of yours said you were one of the most prudent people they knew – would you feel complimented or criticized? Prudence sounds a lot like “prude,” doesn’t it? So, are you offended? What is prudence, and what does it mean to be prudent? Prudence is the first of four virtues traditionally named as the most important in the ethical order. As far back as Plato and Aristotle the virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance have been praised. In “A Concise Dictionary of Theology,” Gerald Collins S. J. says that prudence “entails the capacity to translate general norms and ideals into practice.” A Christian prudence is more than a mere shrewdness to win your case or avoid harsh consequences. It’s more similar to an

An easy beef stir fry, a colorful Jell-O dessert Whenever I’m out and about, someone will come up and mention the column. It keeps me aware of what you want. A few weeks ago I got an Rita unusual Heikenfeld request for Rita’s kitchen e a s y , healthy meals. Now that part of the request is not unusual, but the fellow who asked is a bit unusual in that he has some ties to a pretty important “person.” Father Rob Waller, pastor at St. Andrew’s in Milford, needed healthier recipes “a bachelor like me could make.” I sent him some and I’m thinking that my little favor might result in Father Rob putting in a good word for me with the “right people.” If you have easy recipes for folks like Father Rob, please share.

Rita’s easy stir-fry beef with green onions and tomatoes

If you want, add a handful of snow peas or bean sprouts with tomatoes and onions. 1 pound or less flank steak, thinly sliced across grain 1 ⁄4 cup or more to taste, soy sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 tomatoes cut into wedges (if they’re big, use 2) 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin Canola or peanut oil Hot cooked rice More soy if desired

Combine beef, soy and cornstarch. Marinate anywhere from five minutes to a day. Film bottom of large skillet with oil. Stir fry beef in batches, adding oil as needed. Place back into skillet and add tomatoes and onions. Cook until hot. Add more soy if desired. Serve over rice.

Velma Papenhaus’ three-layer holiday paradise Jell-O loaf

Funny how far a friendship can take you. Dick Herrick, a Mason reader, and I have been friends since we met at Alvey Ferguson, a conveyor company in Oakley, eons ago. I was a bilingual secretary and Dick was an interning college student. Dick’s former neighbors, the Papenhauses, have been close friends of his family for many years. That friendship and this column led Velma to me with her favorite Jell-O recipe . “Red on bottom, white in middle and green on top. Very colorful for holidays,” she said. I think Velma should invite Dick and me over to enjoy a big plateful! Velma uses a Pyrex dish, about 11by-8.

First layer:

1 pkg. cherry Jell-O, 4 serving size 13⁄4 cups very hot water 1 cup chopped apple Mix Jell-O and water until

Jell-O dissolves, stir in apple, and pour in casserole. Let gel before pouring on layer No. 2.

Second layer:

1 pkg. lemon Jell-O, 4 serving size 6 oz. cream cheese, softened 13⁄4 cups pineapple juice and water (pineapple juice comes from pineapple used in layer No. 3. Pour juice into measuring cup and fill with water to make 13⁄4 cups. Heat until very hot). 1 cup chopped nuts Mix Jell-O, cream cheese and juice/water until Jell-O dissolves and cream cheese is smooth. Put in refrigerator to gel just enough so nuts can be mixed in easily. Pour onto first layer. Let gel before pouring on layer No. 3.

Third layer:

1 pkg. lime Jell-O, 4 serving size 13⁄4 cups very hot water 1 can, approximately 20 oz., crushed pineapple, drained (save juice for layer No. 2)

My editor, Lisa Mauch, is my best researcher. Here's what she found on the Web regarding Mullane’s: • In 1848, William and Mary Mullane opened a small store in the West End and began selling taffy and molasses candy. (Cincinnati Magazine) • In the 1940s, Mullane’s operated a tea shop/restaurant in the arcade of the Carew Tower. Eventually the restaurant closed and was sold, but the name Mullane's was retained and a small restaurant by that name operated on Race Street between Seventh and Eighth streets until 2004. (Ancestry.com) • In 1959, George and Marilyn Case purchased the 111-year-old Mullane Taffy Company, which shipped its goodies all over the world, and moved it to larger quarters in Norwood.

call to action. It is a call to step up and do something substantial to show our soldiers that we appreciate them.” In her essay, Hurtle noted that Americans have a rich history of standing behind their armed forces. From the early supporters of the American Revolution to the strong-willed, hardworking women who riveted airplanes in World War II, the nation has reached out to its soldiers. That spirit has not changed, she said. Americans continue to send “care

passages” to troops stationed in foreign countries, to pray for the soldiers and to send monetary support. They also display their support on bumper stickers and yard signs. Although she does not have any family members serving in the military, Hurtle said staying informed on the war in Iraq and other current events helps her “to view the efforts of our troops on a more personal level.” She urged Rotary Club members to offer support in more personal ways, too.

and seen the horrors we hope never to see, deserve to be supported just as much as those currently at war.” Hurtle concluded that staying informed and involved on a personal level is a civic duty. “It is our duty to respond to our call to support our troops as they place their fears, wants and needs aside for us,” she said.

“Supporting our troops involves taking an active stance in the success and safety of the troops,” she said. Hurtle offered several suggestions for ways to provide active support. Through voting and volunteering in political campaigns, people can put people in office who will vote to provide adequate funding for military equipment ad safety measures. They also can support ROTC programs at colleges. Finally, they can donate money, volunteer or launch their own projects through www.supportourtroops.org. Material goods are needed and appreciated, but moral and personal support are also important, Hurtle said. “Things such as a verbal ‘Thank you’ to a veteran or kind actions toward the family of a soldier are essential to truly supporting our troops,” she said. “The young students training to serve our country and the veterans, who have served

Crystal Hurtle, a senior at St. Henry High School, won the Florence Rotary Club essay contest and a $500 scholarship. Hurtle’s essay, “Supporting Those Who Support Us,” issued a call for Americans “to support our troops as they place their fears, wants and needs aside for us.” “They sacrifice many of the luxuries of everyday life in America to travel to foreign places, through arid deserts and vast oceans, simply for the well being of our country,” she told Rotary Club members. “The thought that they’re not just fighting for their families – they’re fighting for me, the unknown average American – inspires me to stay informed.” Jack Lundy announced the winners of the essay contest and presented the scholarship award to Hurtle at the Florence Rotary Club meeting on Nov. 2. The Florence Rotary also named three runners-up, each of whom will receive $100. The runners-up were Timmy Lang of Conner High School, Ariel Reske of Ryle High School and Nick Grout of Walton-Verona High School. Hurtle is the daughter of Jim and Louise Hurtle. She plans to attend the University of Kentucky and study mechanical engineering. Lundy said her fascination with roller coaster design sparked her interest in engineering.

provide the best possible professional training and evaluation for all cadets in the aspects of military life, administration and logistical support. Although continued military training and leadership development is included in the curriculum, the primary focus of the course is to develop and evaluate each cadet’s officer potential as a leader by exercising the cadet’s intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and physical stamina. The cadet command assesses each cadet’s performance and progress in officer traits, qualities and professionalism. Cadets in their junior and senior year of college must complete the leadership development course. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants. Dusing is a student at Eastern Kentucky University. He is also the son of Cindy A. and Thomas A. Dusing of Florence and a 2006 graduate of Ryle High School. Kammer is the son of Pam A.

Ex-teacher gets Rabbit Hash art show By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

The artwork of a longtime WaltonVerona High School teacher will be on display in Rabbit Hash. Pieces from Larry May, who taught art for 24 years at the school, will be on display Nov. 14-28. An opening reception is 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14. May said he’ll have 45 to 50 pieces at the show. He said the work has some painting in them but they are boxes, mostly. “I’ve been a painter for a long time and I still see these boxes as paintings

but instead of painting some of the objects, I just put real objects in there now,” he said. May retired in 1999. He and his wife Belinda, a quilt maker, moved back to Harlan County where his wife is from in southeastern Kentucky. They now live in Powell County which is southeast of Lexington. May spent three years teaching in Harlan County working at Evarts High School and Cumberland High School. But the bulk of his career was spent at Walton-Verona. He said he loved working with the young people and that’s what he misses. Burlington resident Julie Popham, a

1981 Walton-Verona graduate, is in charge of the exhibit. She said all of the students loved May. “He was just the most easygoing, funniest person you’ll ever meet,” she said. This is not May’s first art show nor his first one in Northern Kentucky. May considers himself to be an Appalachian artist, having grown up in the Eastern Kentucky mountains. He said even when he lived in Walton, his work was still about Appalachia. “As an artist you can’t get away from ... whoever you are,” he said. “That’s what your art looks like and that’s how it comes out.”

Houston Buckler, 8, a third-grader at Stephens Elementary School in Burlington, was invited to the grand opening of Chickfil-A on Houston Road in Florence Oct. 20. After seeing an essay form in the Boone County Recorder to win chicken dinners for a year, Buckler was interested because chicken is the only meat he could eat for seven years

because of allergies. So he was very excited because he thinks Chick-filA is the best and he calls it “magic chicken.” Buckler was awarded chicken for a year by winning the essay contest. He was given the award by Dustin DiChiara, the restaurant’s owner. Buckler has shared his winnings with his teacher, his allergist and his nurses.
