Testing changes require adjustments By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

What is NCLB?

and Amanda Joering

The No Child Left Behind reports released by the Kentucky Department of Education show if individual schools are meeting Adequate Yearly Progress in reading and math. The reports also show how well particular groups of students including minorities, students with disabilities, and children from low income families, are scoring in reading and math. Under NCLB, schools are required to have every U.S. student scoring “proficient” or higher in reading and math by 2014. Schools are required to meet an ever higher percentage goal of proficient and distinguished students each year leading to the 2014 goal of 100 percent proficiency.

ajoering@nky.com

The way the state releases annual state school test scores has changed, and with it the routine way student school performance has been measured. No longer will test results be distributed in the form of CATS scores, named for the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System. The 2009 Kentucky General Assembly scrapped CATS until a new state assessment system can be implemented starting in 2012. The CATS system provided overall school scores on a scale of 140, with goals set by the state for each school to reach. What the state is releasing are results from the Kentucky Core Content Tests students took in the spring along with federal No Child Left Behind reports that are based on the same test results. “It will be very difficult, if not impossible, to determine if a school is successful by a particular measure in the Kentucky Core Content Tests, since the CATS system is no longer in operation,” said Lisa Gross, spokesperson for the Kentucky Department of Education. The main thing people should understand about the data is that the NCLB reports showing individual schools’ and districts’ status under the federal law will serve as the state’s public school accountability system, Gross said.

AMANDA JOERING ALLEY/STAFF

Moyer Elementary School fifth-grader Emma Paolucci looks in her notebook during class. The Kentucky Core Content Tests results will show the percentage of students scoring at the novice and apprentice, proficient and distinguished levels, Gross said. Parents will still receive test score results for individual students, she said. It’s important to point out what subject areas are not included in what the state released this year that were under CATS, said Mike Leising, district assessment coordinator for Silver Grove Schools. Teachers and administrators were used to having not only the overall school academic indexes, but also scores in arts and humani-

ties, writing portfolios and practical living, Leising said. “And I can tell you that our teachers in those areas were very disappointed, because they feel that arts and humanities and practical living are important enough to be tested,” he said. The district thought it was important to test those areas, so the district scored tests on those areas on its own, Leising said. But it’s not the same as receiving a state test score done by people outside the district, which brings an air of anticipation each year, he said. “You just get kind of excited

when the scores come in,” Leising said. John Williamson, superintendent of Fort Thomas Independent Schools, said while the information the district received this year is a change from the past, it’s not necessarily a bad one. Now, instead of spending so much time preparing students for the CATS, the district can focus more on college readiness and ACT preparation. “We are pleased with this change in assessment,” Williamson said.

Minimal changes planned for deer hunt By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com After its yearly review of the city’s deer hunting ordinance, Fort Thomas City Council plans to make minimal changes. The first reading of the amended ordinance, read at a meeting Monday, Sept. 21, included only one change, switching the time frame hunting is allowed from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. to half-an-hour before sunrise until 10 a.m.

“I want to know who is coming in, where they are and if they can hunt.”

Peter Cabrel Fort Thomas resident

The hunt will still occur from Nov. 1 through Nov. 21 and again from Jan. 21 through the end of the bow hunting season. At the meeting, resident Peter Cabrel expressed his concern

about the hunt. Cabrel, a hunter himself, said while he’s not against the deer hunt in the city, he would like to see the city get increased liability insurance in case an accident occurs, and also wants to see the city require hunters to sign in and prove, beyond just having a hunting license, that they can hunt. “I want to know who is coming in, where they are and if they can hunt,” said Cabrel, who owns and manages a hunting property in

Georgia that follows these rules. City Administrator Donald Martin said since the council has already reviewed the ordinance this year, it is unlikely that any additional changes will be made until it is reviewed again next year. Council will vote on the ordinance amendment at its next meeting at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5. For more information about the deer ordinance, visit www.ftthomas.org.

For seniors, picnic is a reunion party By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Seniors danced, played cornhole, drank and ate, but mostly they shook hands and hugged friends at the annual Campbell County Senior Picnic Wednesday, Sept. 16. The picnic annually draws about 1,000 seniors to Pendery Park in Melbourne. With a hug and warm smiles, Johreta Blevins Roach of Wilder reunited with two friends she met 55 years ago at their first job out of high school at the former Fifth Third Union Trust Co. in Cincinnati. Jeanne Tritsch Morton of Cold Spring and Jane Fargo of Fort Thomas befriended Blevins Roach in Fifth Third’s operations department, and now they only see each other once a year at the senior picnic.

Ferdinand “Fuzzy” Bartels and his wife Carol Bartels, of Fort Thomas, twirl away from each other while dancing to Neil Diamond’s song “Sweet Caroline” at the Campbell County Senior Picnic Wednesday, Sept. 16. “We all partied together,” said Blevins Roach. The trio of women

worked together for only six years, but they remain in close contact. And Blevins

Roach eventually became an officer in Fifth Third Bank’s operation depart-

ment, the same department where the women met. Tritsch Morton and Fargo see each other often, they were bridesmaids in each other’s weddings, but it’s not often they get to see Blevins Roach. “I introduced her to her husband, and we went to the Fifth Third picnic,” Fargo said of Tritsch Morton. The senior picnic is simply fun, and they like the music and meeting with friends, Tritsch Morton said. “You don’t see friends from years back unless you come to the picnic,” she said. For Carol Schneider, 68, of Highland Heights, the picnic is all about the dancing. “It’s fabulous, it’s one of

the best things every year,” said Schneider. It was Schneider’s first time back to the senior picnic in about two years after having a heart attack. She has previously won first place in the senior picnic’s Cha Cha dance contest, and was seeking to place well in the contest again this year. “I had a heart attack, and being able to dance a little bit really does help,” she said. Rick Rummel of Cold Spring said he thinks the picnic is a good way to catch up with friends. Rummel and his wife Pat come every year. Rummel wore a hat and shirt with a tropical print, saying he picked it out especially for the picnic. “This makes me feel like I’m back in Florida,” he said. Rummel played bingo, but didn’t win, and spent much of his time talking with old friends. “I just always have a good time,” he said.

BRIEFLY Voluntary checkups

The Campbell County Police Department is preparing to launch a new computerized system to help check on the health and welfare of the elderly and disabled who live alone or with little contact with people outside their home. The free system will be a daily telephone call made by a computer to confirm that all is well. People will be asked to press the number 1 button to confirm that they are well, and if there is no answer or they push another button to signal all is not well, the call will be flagged for more intense follow-up. If a person pushes the number 2 button, signaling that all is not well, police, fire and emergency medical services will be dis-

patched to the scene. Participation in the program is voluntary, but anyone who signs up but continuously does not answer without notifying the police in advance could be removed from the program at the discretion of the department. For more information call the department at 547-3110.

and Kentucky Core Content Results, which showed that the majority of students in Fort Thomas scored at the distinguished or proficient levels. The results rank students in the distinguished, proficient, apprentice and novice levels, with only the first two meeting NCLB

standards. Ben Lusk, Fort Thomas’s director of teaching and learning, said overall the district is happy with its results. “We mostly had rises at all of our schools, which is great,” Lusk said. This is the first year that the district hasn’t received CATS scores since the state

did away with that method of scoring, leaving district with only the NCLB and Kentucky Core Content Test scores to judge how they are progressing. “We’re trying to get used to this new method of reporting results, but we should be able to compare better year to year starting next year,”

Who gets tested:

Not every student at a school was tested on every one of the five subject areas listed in the Kentucky Core Content Tests results each year. The following are the grade levels tested in each subject: Reading: Grades 3-5, 6-8, and 10. Math: Grades 3-5, 6-8, and 11. Science: Grades 4, 7, and 11. Social studies: Grades 5, 8, and 11. Reading on Demand: Grades 5, 8 and 12. All the numbers on the results charts are listed as percentages. They will not always sum to exactly 100 percent due to rounding.

School plans to continue focusing on college readiness The Kentucky Association of School Councils will post a transition index that will create an overall estimated index for each school to compare the newly released test scores overall CATS scores by school on the group’s Web site www.kasc.net. Lusk said. Superintendent John Williamson said the district plans to continue focusing on ACT and college readiness related lesson plans, since it seems to be helping the district

continue to meet its goals. “Now, we’re taking our standards up a notch and we’re pleased with this change in assessment,” Williamson said.

Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title. More than 1.5 million juniors in about 22,000 high schools entered the 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2008 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. To become a finalist, a semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high

school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier performance on the qualifying test. The semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essay and information about the semifinalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation and leadership in school and community activities.

Big Green Climb

Northern Kentucky University’s Wellness Center has partnered with the university’s Presidents Climate Commitment Task Force to present a six-week campus-wide campaign called the Big Green Climb, beginning Sept. 21. The campaign aims to encourage the use of stairs rather than elevators to both promote health and encourage energy savings. The campaign is a competition between students, staff and faculty organized in teams of four who commit to using the stairs during the sixweek period. Even those who are physically unable to take the stairs can participate by arranging for participation sponsorship through NKU Wellness. Registration begins this week at http://wellness.nku. edu, and each team’s progress will be available at that site during the campaign. Registration is also available in person today through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1

p.m. in front of NKU’s Student Union (inside the Student Union if it rains). All in-person registrants will receive a free bamboo plant. NKU will host an official Big Green Climb kickoff event on Sept. 21 at 12:30 p.m. at the Oakley and Eva G. Farris Amphitheater. NKU President James C. Votruba will be on hand and participants will have the opportunity to sign a ceremonial Big Green Climb tree. Winning Big Green Climb participants will receive prizes and each member of the winning team will receive a bag of green products. In addition to individual prizes, for every 12,000 flights of stairs climbed by all participants one silk lilac tree will be planted in NKU’s plaza in front of the Fine Arts Center. The campus community will be invited to the public tree planting on November 4, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Details about NKU’s Big Green Climb are available at http://green.nku.edu.

As part of its continuing efforts to become a more military friendly campus, Northern Kentucky University announced a number of initiatives aimed at making the university more accessible and comfortable for veterans. NKU’s universitywide support committee, called the Veteran’s Advocacy Committee, ensures that the university is prepared to meet the needs of the growing number of military veteran students. The committee, currently consisting of more than 30 members from across campus, is chaired by Dave Merriss. The university also now has a Veterans for Education and Transition Support (V.E.T.S.) student organization, which has achieved national membership and recognition by the Student Veterans of America, a coalition of student veterans groups from campuses across the country that works to develop new groups, coordinate between existing groups and advocate on behalf of student veterans. Only 191 student veteran organizations exist nationwide. The university is participating in the VA Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program, which is an agreement between institutions of higher learning and the VA to fund tuition and fees that exceed the highest instate undergraduate tuition and fees for the state where the school is located. The Veteran’s Advocacy Committee also sponsors training opportunities for faculty and staff on the challenges that are unique for veteran students. For instance, on Sept. 22, interested NKU faculty and staff can participate in a webinar titled “Veterans in the Classroom: What the Faculty and Staff Need to Know” from 2-3:30 p.m. in Student Union Room 105. NKU is also prepared to make special accommodations for veterans who are coming off of active duty which will allow these students to enroll mid-semester in courses offered in the second eight-week session of fall semester. Any veteran who has recently been discharged from the military and is interested in enrolling this semester should contact Dave Merriss (merrissd@nku.edu) at NKU immediately for details.

A native of Muncie, Ind., Philipps graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1968 and was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence branch. He served in Vietnam with the Office of the Special Assistant to the Ambassador and with the military Assistance Command/Civil Operations and Rural Development Support (MAC/CORDS). He spent his entire tour in the Phoenix Program. The lecture is being sponsored by the NKU Provost Office, Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences, Department of History and Geography, Military History Program and Phi Alpha Theta International Academic Honorary in History. Refreshments will follow the program.

Camels rally to edge Thoroughbreds By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Campbell County football team takes some big momentum into the start of Class 6A district play after beating Newport Central Catholic 21-17 last week. The Camels (2-2) travel to Boone County 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. NewCath (1-4) travels to Covington Catholic 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Campbell beat NewCath for the first time since 2000, having lost six straight games to the Thoroughbreds since then. A six-yard run by Camel quarterback Michael Kremer in the fourth quarter gave Campbell a comeback win. Kremer directed Campbell’s high-powered passing attack to the tune of 325 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Michael Smith for a 24-yard score to give the Camels a 7-0 lead. NewCath controlled the middle of the game, mostly on the legs of Chris Kelly, who had 197 rushing yards on the night. His two TD runs, combined with an Andy Miller field goal, gave NewCath a 17-7 lead in the third quarter. Kremer found tailback Austin Johnson for a short pass which turned into a 49-yard TD to make it 1714 late in the third period. Following a Thoroughbred turnover, Kremer found Smith again for a long again to set up the eventual winning score. Cory Hodge accounted for two turnovers in the fourth quarter for the Camel defense, including an interception deep in Camel territory to clinch the game. The Camels did this without top receiver Andrew Eshman, who has a broken bone in his foot. Smith had 100 receiving yards in the game. Nate Geiman had 97 receiving yards for Campbell, who rushed for minus-9 yards in the game. NewCath had the opposite stats, with 266 yards on the ground and 48 in the air. Brady Hightchew had 69 rushing yards and 48 in the air. Austin Siemer had three catches for 21 yards. On defense, Phil Wagner had a fumble recovery. Chris Kelly was also the leading tackler with 10.

Mustangs have postseason run in sight mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Bishop Brossart High School boys’ soccer team has had a strong start to the season, despite a few setbacks, and sits at 10-4 with several weeks to play before the postseason. “This is right about where I expected them to be,” said head coach Brian Goller. “We’ve had some injuries over the past month and some guys will be returning soon. We’ve never had a season like this with injuries but most will be back in the next few weeks.”

That’s a positive sign for a Mustangs’ team that has performed well to date. The returning players will have a few weeks of play to get back into the swing of things before postseason play. Goller also said some other players got a chance to show what they could do with quality playing time on the varsity level. The key to the team’s success thus far has been possessing and controlling the ball, especially in the midfield. “We’ve been controlling a lot of the flow of the games we’ve played,” Goller said.

Cyclocross races into Covington Organizers of the threeday Cincinnati International Cyclocross Festival Oct. 9, 10 and 11 recently announced their international bicycle races had received a LIFT grant with assistance from Covington. “The county and the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau Board are very excited about this event and understand the importance of having the Cyclocross here,” said Kathie Hickey, assistant director of economic development and community relations department manager. Cyclocross is a unique sport that combines aspects of other forms of bike racing such as road racing and mountain biking. A professional world championship event since the 1950s, cyclocross is essentially a steeplechase race for bicycles and consists of bike racers competing off-road, like mountain bike racing, but at much

higher speeds and on bikes that look like they belong in the Tour de France. There are course obstacles such as short hurdles or sand traps that require or encourage riders to briefly jump off their bikes and run. The Cincinnati International Cyclocross Festival consists of the Cyclo-Stampede presented by Darkhorse Racing at Covington’s Devou Park Friday Oct. 9, the Java Johnny’s-Lionhearts Cyclocross presented by Queen City Wheels in Middletown, Ohio, Saturday Oct. 10, and the Harbin Park International presented by Bio Wheels and United Dairy Farmers in Fairfield, Ohio. For details about the Cincinnati International Cyclocross Festival, contact Mitch Graham at Bio Wheels bike shop, 513476-6805 or e-mail mitch_ biowheels@yahoo.com

The team is led by junior midfielder and leading scorer David Braun. Ryan Stadtmiller is the team’s all-state sweeper and junior Dylan Dierig is one of the top scorers as well. “Our defense is doing a pretty good job,” Goller said. “We have a senior-oriented defense and they have played in some big games already. We know we’re going to be in every game we play because of our defense.” The biggest improvement Goller would like to see before the postseason is a more consistent attack. “We control the ball a lot

and are good defensively. We just need to finish the opportunities up top,” he said. The team has some big games on the horizon, including a home game Sept. 22 at Pendery Park against Pendelton County, which is past Recorder deadline. It was senior night for the Mustangs. “It’s a chance to send off 10 seniors who have given a lot to this program,” Goller said. “This is a special class.” Goller said the experience helps the team in tight games. Brossart has come from behind to win in five games already this season.

• Campbell County is 5-4 and has outscored opponents 16-4 in the victories. • The Highlands’ soccer team is 8-4 with several big wins, including victories over Anderson, Brossart and Boone County. • The Newport Central Catholic soccer team is 5-3-2 with big wins over Simon Kenton, Calvary Christian and Pendelton County.

“We have a very skilled team that plays with a lot of Stadtmiller heart and never gives up,” he said. “Every year, one team gets on a roll right before the postseason and if we get some guys back, we can be that team.”

Florence Freedom look to 2010 season jweber@nky.com

The Florence Freedom have still failed to qualify for the postseason in the Frontier League professional baseball league, but they had plenty of highlights this season. The Freedom finished

49-47, their second winning season in seven years as a franchise, four wins off their best mark of 53-42 in 2005. General Manager Kari Rumfield was named Frontier League Executive of the Year. They had a late eightgame winning streak to give

them a shot at the playoffs entering the final week, but ultimately finished nine games behind East Division champion Kalamazoo and seven behind Windy City for the last wild-cart spot in the Frontier League playoffs. Demetrius Banks had an outstanding season in short relief, giving up just 41 hits

in 63 innings pitched. He was part of a standout bullpen down the stretch which had 18 consecutive scoreless innings in the final week. Despite a high ERA over 5.00, Everett Saul started 22 games and was among the league leaders in wins (12). The real find in the pitching staff was Preston Vancil, who threw the franchise’s first-ever no-hitter in his second start for the Freedom. The 22-year-old from Sacramento ended the sea-

son with a 6-4 record and 3.26 ERA. He gave up just 42 hits in 66 innings. Billy Mottram was strong from start to finish, ending the year a .281 average, 23 home runs and 79 RBI with 30 steals. Catcher Justin Pickett quietly had similar numbers to Mottram without the stolen bases. They were two of six players with double digits in homers on the team. Pickett had 26 homers, five off the league lead. Outfielder Erold Andrus hit .302 with 15 steals.

Ryan Basham was fourth in the league in hits (118), compiling a .313 average with 16 homers and 64 RBI. Covington Catholic grad Tim Grogan hit .270 with 12 homers and 60 RBI. Ultimately, the team was middle of the pack in both offense and defense in the league statistics. Field Manager Toby Rumfield will immediately prepare for the offseason. Like other Frontier League teams, the Freedom roster will look much different for 2010 Opening Day because of league rules which limit the amount of experience a team can have. One of those rules is the age limit, in which the calendar year a player turns 27 is his last in the league. The Freedom will lose outfielder Jay Johnson, the Dixie Heights grad, for that reason. Johnson was 4-for5 with a league-record tying nine RBI on Sept. 5. He hit .281 with 12 steals for the season.

‘No Pass-No Drive’ law for students Parents looking for another way to get their teenagers out of bed, on their way to school, and to apply themselves in school have some additional help now, thanks to a law amended by the Kentucky General Assembly earlier this year. The No Pass/No Drive Law, which was amended several years ago, states that all students must continually “earn” their driving privileges by staying in school and passing their classes. Most teenagers have a strong desire for the independence that comes with being able to drive. Now they can show that they are responsible enough to drive by fulfilling their responsibilities to attend and do acceptably well in school. This is quite a motivator for kids to stay in and do well in school. The law addresses both attendance and academics. Specifically, the law states that students ages 16 and 17 can lose their driver’s licenses, intermediate licenses, or learner’s permits if they have nine or more unexcused absences from school, or if they drop out altogether. Students also must pass at least four classes each semester to meet the requirements of the law. If a student does not meet the law’s requirements, then the superintendent must report the student to the Transportation Cabinet within ten (10) days of receiving notification of a student’s failure to meet requirements. From there, the student has an opportunity to prove he or she deserves a license, despite allegedly not meeting the law’s guidelines. It would, however, require some work and some extenuating circumstances.

To get a student’s license reinstated, the student’s parent or guardian must request a hearing in District Court. The license will be reinstated if the James A. court finds any of Daley the following: a) The license Community is needed to meet Recorder family obligations guest or family economcolumnist ic considerations, thus causing an undue hardship; or b) The student is the only licensed driver in the home; or c) The student actually is not a dropout or academically deficient. The court’s decision can be appealed within thirty (30) days to Circuit Court. A student whose license has been revoked can reapply for his or her driver’s license after enrolling and completing one semester of school successfully, according to the law’s requirements. To regain a driver’s license, the student must pass at least four courses. The student must provide proof issued by the school within 60 days that he or she is enrolled and is not academically deficient. I hope this information is interesting and helpful. If you have any topics you would like to have covered in this column, please mail to me at 331 York Street, Newport, Kentucky 41071 or fax to me at 491-5932 or e-mail our office at jadcca@fuse.net. James A. Daley is the Campbell County Attorney.

Moving forward while maintaining same tax rate (This year) has proved to be an excellent year for the Alexandria Fire District. In early 2009, the Fire District was notified by the Insurance Service Office (ISO) that the Public Protection Classification will be reduced to a Class 3 for city properties (Alexandria) and remains a Class 4-9 for the county properties. ISO collects and evaluates data from communities across the United States and assigns a classification based on structural fire suppression capabilities. Class 3 applies to all city properties. Presently, there are only 35 other cities in Kentucky with this classification. Class 4 applies to county properties within five miles of the fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. Class 9 applies to county properties beyond 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant but within five miles of the fire station. Be sure to contact your insurance agent for a possible savings in homeowners insurance. In February of 2009, the Fire District took delivery of a new Heavy Rescue unit with state of the art rescue equipment. This new technical rescue equipment will assist the firefighters with more precise rescue capabilities. Several items contained on this unit were purchased through a Federal grant which resulted in a reduced cost to the taxpayer of the Fire District. In July of 2009, the Fire District initi-

an Advanced Jeff Pohlman ated Life Support (ALS) Community service, covering Recorder Alexandria, Fire guest District #1 (Camp Springs, Silver columnist Grove, Eastern Campbell), District 6 (Melbourne), Southgate, and Wilder. ALS provides paramedics who administer additional medical treatment at the scene of a medical emergency beyond the capabilities of an EMT. 6 paramedics were employed, advanced life support equipment purchased, and since commencing the service in July, Alexandria paramedics have responded to 257 calls for service. In September of 2009, the Fire District Board of Trustees established a tax rate of $1.50 per 1,000 dollars of assessed property value. Although new equipment has been purchased, new personnel employed, and new programs initiated, the tax rate has remained the same for the past four years. These are just a few of the numerous progressions the Fire District has undertaken this year alone. The Fire District currently employees 16 career staff and maintains a dedicated volunteer staff of 35 firefighters and EMTs. If any citizen is interested in obtaining information on becoming a volunteer or interested in viewing the fire station and equipment, please feel free to stop by the station. The

Looking at the benefits of the Cable Board We just read (the) article in the Fort Thomas Recorder, “Young Resident asks Fort Thomas to Join Cable Board.” Rich, Richie and I are very pleased that Mayor Brown asked that council look in to Richie’s request. We were a bit surprised, though, with Mr.(Donald)Martin’s comment on using some of the Cable Multichannel Video Excise Tax to help fund Highlands High School’s new recording studio. Shouldn’t they be using School Tax money for that? There’s a School Tax listed right above the Multichannel Video Excise Tax on your Insight cable bill. We find it a little unfair that you can take that Multichannel Video Excise Tax and earmark it for the city’s public high school. How does this benefit everyone in Ft. Thomas? Also, we were a bit surprised that Mr. Martin did not mention one benefit that comes along with being a member of the Campbell County Cable Board. So we will be happy to list the benefits of membership now. Any questions regarding Benefits of Membership to the Campbell County Cable Board should be directed to Jennifer Teipel,

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Has there been a decline of civility at town hall and public meetings in general? Why do you think there has been a decline?

“While I think that there is a decline in civility in this society in general and some of that has rubbed off on any public meetings, I believe that what we are seeing is not so much a decline in civility but a rise in passion. We are sounding more like the patriots did before the revolution. What the public officials are hearing is mainstream Americans extreme frustration with the overspending of both parties and the eroding of our freedoms. It is (and should be) scaring those officials who were used to the sleepy populace letting them get away with whatever they wanted. No more.” J.K.T. “There has been a quick and steady decline in acceptable behavior at town hall and public meetings almost to the point of being sadly entertaining. Frustration and uncertainty quickly spreads when subject matter and supporting information is convoluted or unavailable. The American public is very good at differentiating between fact and B.S. and will have their homework researched and ready. Heaven forbid the person(s) directing the meeting is not in tune with the topics at hand

Finances are very troublesome for many people. Many people are apprehensive about their future and even getting through this week. To be civil, society needs security, optimism and hope. Currently these items are absent from many households.” G.G. “Having a serious debate about health care is democratic, bringing a loaded semi-automatic gun is irresponsible and speaks of violence. As a Christian and person with conservative values I’m embarrassed that so few people speak out against the lack of civility displayed by some cable and radio talk show hosts, politicians and citizens. In an era of total exposure, Twitter indulged selfimportance and shallow Internet relationships, we forget about the cornerstones of society including civility, respecting your neighbor and recognizing authority.” K.

‘Developing’ a greener perspective By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

PROVIDED

Best friends Parker Losure, 5, and Lydia Haubner, 5, both of Alexandria, share a sweet scented moment together earlier in the day before their crowning as Little Mr. and Miss of the Alexandria Fair & Horse Show. The friends have told their parents that they plan to marry each other eventually.

A ‘little’ love story The “little” young love between inseperable best friends Parker Losure and Lydia Haubner, both 5, of Alexandria, is the reason their teacher seats them across the room from each other at St. Mary School. The kindergartners met a year ago when their families were vacationing together in Gulf Shores, Ala., said Paula Losure, mother of Parker. They connected from the start, both having similar charismatic personalities, Paula said. “They claimed that they planned to get married,” she said. It’s funny and humorous that they talk about getting married all the time, Paula said. “I think everybody in the school knows about it,” she said. “They’re not ashamed of it, that’s for sure.” Their relationship has

brought a lot of smiles to their families because they talk about each other a lot, Paula said. Paula and her husband Nathan, and Lydia’s parents Mandy and Rob Haubner, decided to enter the children in the Alexandria Fair Little Mr. and Miss Pageant this year, which they won. On the night of their win, Parker said “You know Lydia...we are going to get married someday,” Paula said. To which Lydia replied “I know, Parker.” Lydia’s father Rob, said she is always talking about her “boyfriend” Parker. “They’re 5 years old, so it doesn’t bother me,” he said of their friendship. Lydia said she does talk about eventually getting married, saying Parker is “really nice.” “He’s my friend,” Lydia said of Parker. -Chris Mayhew/Staff

St. Thomas School’s junior high science teacher is taking her students out of the classroom and into the real world. Laura Dennemann, who has been teaching at the school since 2006, recently received the honor of being an ING Unsung Hero, earning her a $2,000 check to fund her science class project, called Probing Science. The project is meant to compare and contrast the affects of developed space versus green space when it comes to temperature, water and living organisms using sensors, software and notebook computers to conduct experiments. “(The project) will incorporate life and earth sciences and involve all students in junior high,” Dennemann said. “My whole philosophy as a teacher is to get the students up and doing things instead of just talking to them.” Each grade level will complete different types of experiments depending what that grade is studying, Dennemann said, and the students will present their findings with members of the school and community. “The goal of any science teacher is to turn their students into young scientists,” Dennemann said. “This project will do just that...” Dennemann said the students will learn how development can affect the environment and help them understand the need for green space while getting to learn in different ways. “Students will get the chance to move past paper notebooks and stopwatches and use new science technology during the unit study,” Dennemann said. “(This project) will allow them to take technology outside the classroom and into the real world.” Principal Sharon Bresler said in Dennemann’s short time at the school, her impact has been huge. “In 2008 Laura was recognized as the Campbell County Rotary Teacher of the Year for her work in getting her students involved in community service,” Bresler said. “She is con-

Dakota, a 4-year-old blind and deaf dog, with the help of Rescue Our Shelter Animals & Strays (ROSAS) volunteers in Campbell County is in a permanent home in Pennsylvania.

Volunteers from Rescue Our Shelter Animals & Strays (ROSAS)are searching to find a new home for, Dakota, a blind and deaf 4year-old dog after being fostered by Campbell County volunteers. It’s an unusual type of rescue because the shelter has placed blind dogs and deaf dogs before, but not a dog with the loss of both of those senses, said Kathy Thacker, a ROSAS volunteer from Alexandria. The dog, part Collie and part Australian Shepherd, was born blind at birth, and was given over to ROSAS by a man in Bowling Green, Ky., Thacker said. “He bumps into you and things of that nature,” she said of Dakota. “He’s just a darling

little dog, but he takes a lot of patience.” It takes time for Dakota to learn his way around a house, yard and steps, but despite running into things he’s a quick learner, she said. Animals with special needs because they are blind, deaf or have a medical disability are typically difficult to find homes for, Thacker said. “So there is a big need for people to adopt these pets, and take these pets,” she said. ROSAS, which takes animals from shelters and some private individuals to keep them from being euthanized, lists the animals it is trying to find adoptive homes for and an application for adoption at the Web site www.rosas.rescuegroups.org.

Life

Why love treats us the way it does When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didn’t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It

must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love! Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each other’s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though we didn’t realize all its intentions. One day we were amazed when love took off its clothes, stretched out on our bed while eating an apple, and announced it was here to stay. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious thing called love was not so elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten

rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In “The Mystery of Marriage,” author Mike Mason notes, “The situation with love, now that one is married, becomes comparable to the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - “What happens if he catches it?” Marriage faces spouses with the same question, “What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?” In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to

live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, “You haven’t learned about me yet!” It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world.

When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient with each other and ourselves; to communicate instead of

pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love Father Lou will take Guntzelman off its earthly Perspectives mask and become further demystified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, “God is love,” and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

United Way sets N. Ky. goal Mark Reitzes, president of Huntington National Bank and chair of the United Way of Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Area 2009 campaign, has announced a goal of $3,965,095. “United Way is working to create real change in Northern Kentucky by making sure children are ready to learn when they reach kindergarten and that families have the tools they need to achieve financial stability,” said Reitzes. “Our entire community wins when a child a child succeeds in school. The next weeks will be challenging, but each of us must rally behind this

effort and support essential services that help make Northern Kentucky a better place to work and live.” The regionwide United Way campaign, chaired by A.G. Lafley, chairman, The Procter & Gamble Co., kicked off Aug. 26 during the organization’s first-ever Virtual Kickoff. Lafley has also issued a goal of adding 10,000 new donors to the campaign. The Northern Kentucky region is striving to cultivate between 600 and 1,000 of those new donors. Based on 2007 population estimates, less than 10 percent of Northern Kentucky residents currently contribute to

the annual United Way campaign. “Our goal is equal to last year,” Reitzes said. “And really, we can’t accept any less if we want to accomplish what the community needs in Northern Kentucky. United Way supports so many critical services, and I’m calling on everyone in our region to evaluate what kind of commitment they can make to help those with needs greater than our own.” If you would like to make a personal donation to United Way, visit www.wecanliveunited.org. If your company is interested in running an internal campaign, call 525-2600.

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, we’re all into the “wash your hands often” mode. I thought it would be good to share my recipe for homemade foaming soap. It’s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, you’ll save money and be doing your part to be “green.” Let the kids help – they’ll have fun, and be more apt to wash their little hands if they’ve made their own soap.

Rita’s homemade foaming soap

The bonus? More suds with less soap!

Foaming hand soap:

The trick is in the dispenser. You have to use one made for foaming hand soap. I get mine from the dollar store, and after they’re empty I make my own as follows: Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar.

Here’s a couple different fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy. COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Tips from readers

Jane and Carolyn’s cream puff filling:

From Mark A. regarding “parve” products. Mark says: “The definition of “parve” (or “pareve”) in your column was only half right. “Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. “No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but that’s beside the point).”

r a t i n g class at G r a n t School in Rita Clermont Heikenfeld C o u n t y. Rita s kitchen Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last night’s class: • Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. You’ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. • To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Don’t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

Pink Ribbon luncheon funds mammograms for underserved Two-time Grammy award winning country music singer and songwriter Lee Ann Womack will round up a crowd in the fight against breast cancer when she speaks and sings at the eighth annual Pink Ribbon Luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 1 at noon at the Duke Energy Convention Center. Allowing guests a private look into her life, emcee Cris Collinsworth will interview the five-time Country Music Award recipient Womack before she performs an intimate and inspirational acoustic set for attendees, complete with her signature single and major crossover music hit, “I Hope you Dance.” Themed “Gems and Jeans,” this year’s luncheon anticipates a crowd of 1,300 attendees. Chaired by Karen Cassidy, Holly Collinsworth, Nancy Fehr and Penny Pomeranz, the Pink Ribbon Luncheon has grown to one of the largest afternoon fundraisers in the TriState. Adding to the excitement is the announcement of this year’s honorary co-chair and one of Cincinnati’s most active community leaders, Sherie Marek. In addition to unique silent and live auctions, the upcoming event will also feature the presentation of the third annual Power of

Local residents in amazement yesterday as Collectors provide a stimulus package to Florence. They are paying out right on the spot for my stuff. Unbelievable!! By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER

Spokesperson for the event said he expects to spend in excess of $200,000.00 this week for vintage items and precious metals from local residents. Here are some examples of what is going on in the event that started yesterday in the Homewood Suites. One person sold an old Gibson guitar that was purchased in the 1960’s for less than $250.00 to a collector at the event for $2175.00 Another person had a pocket watch collection that sold for $4600.00., with one of

the watches in this collection bringing $375.00 of the $4600.00 talley. A husband and wife brought in a box of old Jewelry, wristwatches, coins, and two German daggers from WW2 and left $785.00 richer. This is cool that something like this would come here to our town. Where else would this stuff ever be sold? The reﬁnery has teamed up with the collectors for a 24 month tour of the United States, both big and small towns to dig up hidden gems.

Silver and Gold Coin Prices Up During Poor Economy. Collectors and Enthusiasts in Florence with $200,000 to Purchase Yours! By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER

Got Coin? It might be just the time to cash in. This week starting Tuesday and continuing through Saturday the International Collectors Association in conjunction with the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Reﬁnery will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. The better the grade the more they are worth according to collectors I talked to. With the silver and gold markets high prices of older coins are too. Any coins minted before 1965 in the U.S. are 90% silver except nickels and pennies. The coins worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now even well worn heavy circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy halves, Washing ton quarters, Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times the face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. This country didn’t start minting coins until 1792 says Eades. Before that people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform

system of making change. The government opened the ﬁrst mints and began distributing the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th century coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933 Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. Not all gold coins were turned in. Many folks during that time didn’t completely trust the government and choose to keep their gold. These gold coins are sought after collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchase including foreign coins, Indian head cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few. Collectors warn people against trying to clean their coins as signiﬁcant damage can be done and the coins value lessened.

“I’m glad I came in! I really need the money.” CLAUDIA MCDONALD says, who received $825 for a gold coin minted

Dozens cash in yesterday with jewelry, railroad watches and guitars. An estimated $200,000 in Florence! By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER

The ﬁrst day of the 5 day reclamation drive in Florence was a hit with those looking to sell their gold and silver. Representatives were on hand Tuesday purchasing all types of unwanted and broken jewelry. An estimated 55 people left the event with over $200 dollars from old class rings, wedding bands, herringbones, and gold teeth. Coins dated before 1965 were bringing big premiums as well. Silver dollars, halves and quarters arrived in large quantities. Lots of gold coins were also brought in. Rebecca Hughes walked away with over $1200.00 after selling an original $20 gold piece from 1888. On the other side of the room were

Below: Refinery representatives will be on hand starting today through Saturday to purchase all gold, silver and platinum items, as well as coins. Public welcome!

representatives from the Antique Association. They were purchasing all types of guitars, large currency bills dated before 1923, military items and pocket watches. One watch was purchased by a collector in Montana for $835 dollars. There were piles of sterling silver items like old silverware sets and tea pots. One gentleman rolled a cart in with 3 boxes full of silver coins. Company officials reported spending over $80,000 the first day of the event, alone. Brian Eades with Ohio Valley said “we have had an overwhelming turnout this first day and we expect to get busier every day this week”. The event continues today and runs through Saturday. The event is free and the public is welcome.

Local Residents are ready to cash in! International antique buyers in town this week and ready to stimulate economy!

By CHRISTINA BUTLER STAFF WRITER

Hundreds of phone calls from local residents this week to the corporate office of the Ohio Valley Gold and Silver Refinery pour in inquiring about items to be purchased all this week by the team of antique buyers that is on site with OVGSR. The team of buyers this week are purchasing a vast array of vintage items (see below) along with the coins, gold jewelry, and sterling silver items the refinery deals in. It is a Local shot in the arm for our economy. The spokesperson for the event expects to spend in excess of $200,000.00 this week at the Homewood Suites paying local residents on the spot. The spokesperson for the company has explained that these collectors are paying collector price for the vintage items and is great way for people to get a great value for their items.

Bringing plants indoors for the winter If you’ve been growing your tropical plants outdoors all summer, as summer fades and fall arrives, it’s time to get them ready to go back inside the house for the winter. Begin this process in mid to late September, so the plants will be ready to go indoors before the weather gets too cold. And always keep an eye open for that early frost! The first thing to do is to move your tropical or nonhardy plants into a shady location outside, and leave then there for 10 days to two weeks. This helps to acclimate them to the lower light conditions they’ll be receiving once inside your home. By the way, during this time, do be aware of possible cold temperatures and even frosts, where your plants will need extra protection!

Just before bringing them inside, there are three things for you to do. Hose them off with a strong stream of water. You may even want to do this a couple times while they’re acclimating in the shade. This helps to blow off any insects that may be hanging out on the plants. Immediately before bringing them inside, give your plants a good spraying of insecticidal soap, making sure you spray tops and bottoms of the leaves, stems, trunks and all. Again, trying to get rid of any hitchhiking bugs! (If you do this the same day you’re bringing them inside, let the spray dry, then bring the plants indoors.) If possible, lay the plant on its side, slide it out of the pot, and inspect the root ball for any unwanted bugs or anything else that may be

hiding in the bottom of the pot. Rodents, even snakes have been found hiding here. One way to make sure nothing is in the soil (ants, etc.) is to fill a large tub with water, and then submerge the plant pot and all in the water for several hours. Anything in the soil will either drown, or will float to the top of the water. It’s also a great way to soak the soil. Just make sure you allow it plenty of time to drain before bringing it into the house. Move your tropical plant indoors to a well-lit area indoors, and away from heat vents and cold drafts. Place a saucer under the pot. As a general rule, water the plants well, let dry, water again. And never let water sit in the saucer. Use lukewarm water for watering.

Expect leaves to drop as the plants make their final acclimation to the indoor lighting. It’s natural. And do keep your eyes open for any flare-ups of insects on the plants. Keep insecticidal soaps, systemic insecticides, and whitefly traps on hand just in case. Reduce feeding to nothing or an occasional shot of a water-soluble fertilizer, which can be increased once the days start to get
