Organization sets out to help others By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com
What started as a morning coffee break at Starbucks lead to the creation of Fort Thomas’s new community service group. Fort Thomas Provides, a group whose mission is to use available resources to help people, organizations and schools throughout the city, started when friends Scott Colvill and Shawn Hopper were sitting at the Starbucks on Grand Avenue. After realizing they knew the majority of people coming in and out of the restaurant, they started talking about starting a group on LinkedIn for friends and acquaintances to network and keep in touch. “After seeing how many people were joining the group, we decided to make it about more than just networking,” said Colvill, who serves as the group’s treasurer. “We decided to make it a nonprofit group and start working to help the community.” After spending time getting the

we’re looking for more things to do.” Debbie Buckley, Fort Thomas’s renaissance manager, said she can’t say enough about the importance of groups like Fort Thomas Provides. “They took the need, found the
volunteers, organized them and did a bang-up job,” Buckley said. “Every organization needs volunteers and this group goes the extra mile to make sure the need is met.” In order to be a member of the group, interested people must have some tie to the city, like living or working in Fort Thomas. “We really just looking for likeminded people who want to get involved and give back,” Colvill said.

Austin’s aim: retain and create jobs By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Despite becoming an insider in local politics, John Austin believes his perspective as an outsider, being a native of Albuquerque, N.M., can help him succeed in his role in helping create and retain jobs in Campbell County.

plays a role in working to identify and ready properties in the county that the Tri-County Economic Development Corporation (Tri-Ed) can then prioritize and market to companies looking for land where they can operate. Austin arrived in Campbell County in 2007 after graduating from the University of Dayton Law School where he had met his wife, a native of Alabama. Together, they decided to move to Northern Kentucky, a place neither of them had any connections to, because they enjoyed the big city attractions yet could still feel like they were living in the country
One of the Campbell County Economic Progress Authority’s land priorities is the former 79acre Beverly Hills Supper Club site in Southgate, said John Austin, president of the authority. But the effort to revitalize the property needs to be sensitive to the site’s history, Austin said. The land the NKU Foundation owns where the without having to move far from the urban core.

Davis honored by crisis center U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis was awarded the Amy Jones Outstanding Advocate Award from the Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) of Northern Kentucky. The award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the effort to reduce domestic violence in Northern Kentucky. Selection criteria include leadership, demonstrated impact and recognition among peers. Davis was presented the award during the WCC’s Day of Peace celebration. “Congressman Davis’ tireless dedication to fighting domestic violence makes him an ideal candidate to receive the Amy Jones Outstanding Advocate Award. Having heard him speak candidly about his own experiences with domestic violence in the past, the Women’s Crisis Center knew that he was personally invested in this cause,” said WCC Senior Public Education Specialist and Chair of the Day of Peace planning committee Ann Brandon. The Day of Peace celebration is an annual event held to promote peacemaking and reduce violence in families, neighborhoods and schools in Northern Kentucky. “The key to success in the fight against domestic violence is not only building awareness, but also building relationships. We need to show those who are caught in the cycle of violence that there is a way out
and a future filled with hope, if they are willing to pursue it. It is an honor to receive this award, and I want to thank the Women’s Crisis Center for all their important work in Northern Kentucky,” Davis said.

Design college helps companies Some start-up companies in the Tristate area – including a Northern Kentucky horse organization – are getting the graphic design help they need to begin promoting their products and services during this difficult economy. The help comes from stu-
dents at The Art Institute of Cincinnati College of Design Studio. Every day students from The AIC College of Design Studio help budget-strapped start-ups that cannot afford established professionals with marketing projects. These include layout and production design of magazines, journals, promotional displays, packaging, brochures, and Web sites
that drive brand awareness. The college recently completed a project for The Northern Kentucky Quarter Horse Association by successfully redesigning their member magazine, KyQHA Quarterly. Earlier this year, students finalized a series of lighthearted book illustrations for the Losantiville Press and the Losantiville Society of Limericists and also
designed vibrant and colorful posters for the Newport on the Levee Fall Festival. Students will soon complete an extensive menu and website redesign for a leading Italian restaurant. Start-up companies, community project coordinators, and local agencies needing assistance with overflow with graphic design work can contact the college at 513-751-1206.

Highlands project raises money for hungry By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com
A service learning project has led Highlands High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) group to team up with the Athlete’s United Foundation to raise money for the hungry. The group, which consists of about 30 students, is selling raffle tickets to raise money for local soup kitchens and food pantries. “We’ve been looking for a service learning project to do for a while,” said Andrea Conners, teacher representative of the group. “I heard about this I immediately thought it was a great opportunity.” The project is being organized by Doug Pelfrey, a former Cincinnati Bengals player who now works to support charitable causes, who is working with the class along with classes at Walton Verona High School and Ryle High School, Conners said. “Right now it’s just the three schools, but we’re hoping it will branch out and become statewide,” Conners said. For the project, students are doing all the advertising and sell-

ing the tickets and collecting money. Once the money is collected and turned in, Conners said the students will help deliver food to the pantries and stock the shelves. “I think it’s great because the students will get to see it from start to finish and really see how it’s helping the community,” Conners said. Senior John Kremer, the president of the FBLA group, said the project is beneficial to the students. “We are learning about sales and marketing while helping others at the same time,” Kremer said. The raffle tickets, which are $5, will be sold through Thursday, Oct. 22. Prizes includes UK vs. UNC and UK vs. Miami basketball tickets, an autographed John Calipari basketball, an autographed Carson Palmer football and an autographed Rey Maualuga football. The drawing will be Friday, Oct. 23 For more information or to buy raffles tickets, contact Andrea Conners at Andrea.Conners@Fortthomas.kyschools.us.

Seventy-two Highlands High School students were recognized by the College Board for their exceptional achievement on AP courses and exams. The College Board recognizes high school students who have distinguished themselves academically by announcing AP Scholar Award recipients. About 18 percent of the 1.7 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award. The students receive a certificate and their achievement is acknowledged on any subsequent AP Grade Reports sent to colleges. Award recipients not only gain recognition from colleges, but also win the admiration of their peers, families, and communities. The list of Highlands’ students is below. National AP Scholar Students earning an average grade of 4 or higher on a 5 point scale on all AP exams taken, & grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams: • Justin Brandt • Thomas Christy • Madison McGhee • Lauren Sanders

Elks give back with Dictionary Project The Dictionary Project was designed to aid third-grade teachers in their goal to see all students leave at the end of the year as strong writers, active readers and creative thinkers. To assist in this mission the Newport Elks are providing third-grade students in the community with their own personal dictionary. The dictionary is for the student to keep, so they can take it with them into fourth grade and use it throughout their school career.
Students benefit from an increased self-reliance and resourcefulness, while teachers benefit by knowing their students have constant access to a tool for homework and in-class exploration. “We feel a child cannot do his or her best work without a dictionary,” said Kathy Frommeyer, Newport Elks exalted ruler. “Children deserve the best teachers and the best resources. If we set our sights on anything less, we will be disappointed with the results.”
Newport Elks came to St. Catherine of Siena school and presented each third-grader with a dictionary.

The Bellevue High School Cross Country Team continues to improve each and every week throughout the season. As the season is drawing to an end, the team is trying to hit their peak at the right moment. The regional championships will be Nov. 7 at Scott High School. This will be the first time since 2003 Bellevue has raced a full boys’ squad at the Regional Meet. “I look forward to having seven guys step to the line on Nov. 7. It shows a lot of dedication from our athletes and hard work from the returning runners in recruiting guys. I am very proud to be coaching this fine group of athletes” said Coach Caleb Finch. Jordan Roberts continues to lead the team week in and week out, but many runners have been stepping up into the Nos. 2 and 3 spots. Nolan Rechtin, Tony Isbell, and Noah Placke have all been fighting for spots two through four. New to the team is freshman Brad Guilkey. Brad ran his first race for Bellevue Sept. 26. As his training progresses, he could be fighting for the tops spots on the team as well.

Brossart senior returns to state golf tourney By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Abby Ruberg has a simple goal for her final state golf tournament. Play two rounds instead of one. The Bishop Brossart senior will compete in the state tourney for the second straight year. The meet is Oct. 9-10 in Bowling Green. Last year, Ruberg shot a 95 in the first round and missed the cut to compete in Round 2. “I’m pretty excited,” she said. “My goal is to make the cut because last year I made it to state and didn’t do it. I think that will be tough. Last year was 86, which is about my average. I’ll have to play really good to do it, but it’s definitely possible.” Ruberg shot a 92 in the Region 8 girls’ tournament to grab one of the individual spots from a non-qualifying team. She said her best per-
formance this year was finishing second in the recent Northern Kentucky Athletic ConRuberg ference tourney with an 81. She also had a 39 for nine holes in a match at Flagg Springs. Ruberg has only been playing the sport for three years after giving up soccer. She is exploring playing golf in college. “My dad and brother are really big into golf,” she said. “I just went out with them one day and starting hitting the ball around and I started to get better and fell in love with it.” Highlands also has an entry in the girls’ golf tournament. Senior Shelbye Harris shot an 83 in the Region 6 tourney to earn an individual berth.

Trash for cash
On the 19th of September, our Teen group cleaned a five-mile stretch of road partly covering Licking Pike and Creektrace Road in the Trash for Cash program. We had about 25 folks and put groups on each side of the road. The experience was great and very revealing. We filled some 100 garbage bags, mostly of cans and bottles. Nothing out of the ordinary was collected, but we did pick up a lot of alcoholic containers. We were surprised and concerned for the number of people who are obviously drinking while driving or driving right after drinking. As well, we were surprised by the amount. We filled about 20 bags of garbage every mile! We wish to thank the Solid Waste Department and our County for the opportunity to help clean up our county roads and for
the lessons it gave to our young men and women about littering. God Bless, Immanuel Baptist Church Rocky View Drive Cold Spring
Deer hunt
The city administration of Fort Thomas has refused once again to require the registration of potential hunters, and the proof of profiency that other communities have required in their successful deer hunt programs. An example of why registration is important is a similar community that had 240 plus applicants narrowed to a field of 120 plus because of background checks and profiency problems. But the honorable mayor of Fort Thomas, and some members of council believe restrictions such as these would inhibit potential hunters.
Laws regarding Handicap Parking Permits As I sit writing this article and see the cool and wet weather outside, there is no question that fall is upon us. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and shopping season are fast approaching! Most of us have probably experienced a sense of aggravation when we go to a store or restaurant and see people who appear to be specimens of good health parking in the handicap spots close to the store or restaurant. Many of those individuals are not handicap and do not have a handicap sticker or they may be abusing the use of the sticker that belongs to someone else. The Kentucky General Assembly has addressed this problem and it may be helpful to review the substantial penalties that can be imposed for a violation of the handicap parking laws. The fine for parking illegally in a parking space designated for those with disabilities is now $250 per occurrence. This is certainly a substantial penalty and rightfully so. Hopefully folks will think twice before parking illegally in handicap spots. The handicap parking laws state that 90 percent of the fines mentioned above are forwarded to the state's Personal Care Assistance Program. The remaining 10 percent is returned to the County of occurrence to be distributed equally among all local law enforcement agencies. Handicapped parking permits can be obtained on a temporary or permanent basis. To obtain a temporary handicap parking permit, an application form needs to be filed at the County Clerk's Office. There are no fees for this application process. Temporary permits are valid for an initial period of not more than three months. For a person seeking the
James A. Daley Community Recorder guest columnist
temporary placard, proof of the disability shall be required by a statement from a licensed physician that the applicant is a person whose mobility, flexibility, coordination, respiration, or perceptiveness is significantly reduced by a temporary disability to that person's arms, legs, lungs, heart, ears or eyes. A permanent handicap parking permit can also be obtained by filing an application with the County Clerk with the necessary proof of permanent disability. Proof in this case can be that the person has a license plate for a person with a disability, a statement from their physician, or the clerk issuing the permit ascertains the applicant is obviously disabled. These placards are issued for a period of two years and may be renewed twice for two years without any fee. The disability parking placard must be placed so that it can be viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle, preferably by hanging on the rearview mirror. If no rearview mirror exists, the placard is to be displayed on the front dash. It is illegal to display a placard when the person with the disability is not in the vehicle. These disability placards are separate and apart from the issuance of accessible parking registration plates which are dealt with in another statute. 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.

Steering committee meeting
It was my pleasure to participate in the KY Tech- C.E. McCormick Area Technology Cen-

We are very proud of the many years of service this center has provided to multiple school districts in the Northern Kentucky Region. We are working through some tough economic times affecting funding. The KY Tech- C.E. McCormick ATC budget is set by the general assembly and managed by the Office of Career and Technical Education.

Air pollution a growing concern
Since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1963, the nation’s air has become remarkably cleaner, the Greater Cincinnati area included. The number of smog alerts in the area has dropped drastically in the past 10 years from 27 days in 1999 to only three days thus far in 2009. And harmful chemicals like smog and soot are less pervasive throughout the whole country. However, scientific research has revealed even minimal exposure to air pollution can be dangerous. The increased effects of global warming and inefficient use of energy continue to generate less than ideal air quality, especially here in the Tristate. The Air Quality Management Division of the Hamilton County Environmental Services said that smog, once considered only a problem during the summer, could become a problem during winter months due to tightening air control standards. “While we have made great progress in reducing air pollution in the Tristate, it is crucial we continue the effort,” said Steve Pendery, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments
(OKI) Board President and Campbell County Judge Executive. “Air pollution is still a serious problem in the Tri-State and ignoring this issue puts everyone at Emily risk for various Feldman health problems – right now and in Community the future.” Recorder A July study guest by the American columnist Lung Association ranked Greater Cincinnati in the 25 worst U.S. cities for air pollution based on levels of ozone (a.k.a. smog) and fine particulates (a.k.a soot). While there are several forms of air pollution, these two prove to be two of the most dangerous. Both ozone and particulate pollution are serious health concerns, causing irritation to the throat, nose, eyes and lungs as well as decreasing the lungs’ working capacity. The study also noted that air pollution can lead to longterm health problems such as lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
RECORDER
“Air pollution continues to be a widespread and dangerous problem,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “But the problem can’t be solved solely by cleaning up the big industries. It’s a problem that must be tackled by each individual as well.” OKI leads the fight against air pollution in the Tristate with its “Do Your Share for Cleaner Air” campaign. It suggests many tips for reducing air pollution including small changes that everyone can make to his or her daily routine. These changes include carpooling, riding the bus, cutting back on vehicle trips, conserving electricity, walking instead of driving, refueling after 8 p.m. and using gas-powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m. More tips on how to reduce air pollution and information about Greater Cincinnati’s “Do Your Share for Cleaner Air” campaign can be found at www.DoYourShare.org or by calling 1-800621-SMOG.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question
Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not?
“No to the flu and H1N1 vaccines. I’ve been flu-free without the vaccine and despite having flu-like symptoms after getting a flu shot, I’ll pass to enable someone else to get the vaccine.” Florence “I plan to get a regular flu shot this week. Uncertain about the H1N1 shot. It seems the H1N1 vaccine has been manufactured in haste, and I am uncertain if the potential cure
may be worse than the flu.”
G.G.
“I already have received my regular flu shot. When I asked about H1N1 they replied that because of my age I probably was either exposed to or had it back in the 1957 epidemic. I can’t remember one way or the other.” C.J.W. “I will probably get the regular one as I do every October, but I am a little leery about the other; there’s always a tremendous push by government and medical establishments to blindly vaccinate the public in the face of any

Rosary March for World Peace Saturday, October 10, 2009 10:00 a.m. Meet at Florence Government Center 8100 Ewing Blvd. Florence, KY 41042 (plenty of free parking) “Pray the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world.” - Our Lady of Fatima 1917
O
“We do not hesitate to affirm again publicly that We put great confidence in the Holy Rosary for the healing of evils which afflict our times” - Pope Pius XII
ur Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima on October 13, 1917, when the great “Miracle of the Sun” was witnessed by 70,000 people. At each of her six apparitions from May 13th to October 13th of 1917, The Blessed Virgin Mary asked for the daily Rosary, for penance, amendment of life, and Holy Communions of reparation on first Saturdays of five consecutive months. Our Lady also asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, to be made by the Pope and Bishops simultaneously in order to obtain the conversion of Russia and peace for the world. In his wonderful book, The Secret of The Rosary, Saint Louis De Montfort teaches us the importance and power of The Most Holy Rosary that was given to us by the Blessed Virgin Mary. And especially does our Saint emphasize the importance and power of the Rosary. Saint Louis De Montfort instructs: “There are several ways of praying the most Holy Rosary, but that which gives Almighty God the greatest glory, does the most for our souls and which the devil fears more than any other, is that of praying the Rosary publicly.” Furthermore, “Somebody who prays his Rosary alone only gains the merit of one Rosary, but if we pray it together with a hundred people we gain the merit of a hundred Rosaries. This is the law of public prayer. How profitable, how advantageous this is!” We all realize the seriousness of the state of the world today. It is obvious that the efforts of man and governments will not solve the world’s problems. We need the Divine Help afforded by the praying of the Rosary. As the Blessed Virgin Mary herself said: “One day through the Rosary and Brown Scapular I will save the world.” It has been over 90 years since the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal. We must heed Our Lady’s requests and pray the Rosary every day. We must pray and do penance so we can attain world peace, and an end to the crimes of abortion and other horrible sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance. We also pray for our elected officials, our police, fire fighters; and especially our troops, so that they get home safely and quickly. “The Rosary is experiencing a new springtime. When reciting the Rosary the important and meaningful moments of salvation history are relived. The Rosary brings peace and reconciliation. It contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the center of each Hail Mary.” - Pope Benedict XVI
Please join us in an hour of prayer Saturday morning, October 10th as we pray the Rosary for World Peace and the conversion of Russia as The Blessed Virgin Mary requested of mankind when she appeared at Fatima over 90 years ago.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
REGAN COOMER/STAFF
Schulz & Sons Jewelers will be hosting a Breast Cancer Awareness weekend Friday and Saturday Oct. 16 and 17. The business, located in Fort Mitchell, will donate 10 percent of all sales to the local chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. PANDORA Jewelry will not be included in the special event because the company is already donating funds to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Customers will receive a free “stuffed” tote for a $150 PANDORA purchase. Vice President Matthew Schulz hopes the two-day event will raise not only awareness, but funds to help find a cure for breast cancer.
Sport your pink ribbon at Schulz & Sons Help support breast cancer awareness at Schulz & Sons Jewelers Oct. 16 and Oct. 17. The Fort Mitchell business, located at 2202 Dixie Highway, will donate 10 percent of every sale on the two-day event to the local chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “It’s the third year since I took over the business and after a couple years of getting my feet wet I wanted to find ways to give back to the community,” said Matt Schulz, vice president of the company. The only exception to the sale is PANDORA products because the company has dedicated $100,000 to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Schulz hopes the twoday special event will help promote the breast cancer awareness cause. “One in 1,000 women is affected. More than likely each person in the commu-
nity knows or knows of somebody with breast cancer,” Schulz said. “This money can help improve their future.” Breast cancer awareness is just one of the ways Schulz & Sons gives back to the community – the 56year-old business also donates thousands of dollars to local schools and organizations for silent auctions. “We view our customers as individuals and we view each piece of jewelry as a personal representation of them,” Schulz said. Customers can trade in diamonds and gold for credit or design one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings and more in-store using Schulz & Sons’ Virtual Display Case technology. “Turn your out-of-date design into something new,” Schulz said. For more information, call 331-2888 or visit schulzdiamonds.com. Reported by Regan Coomer.

Sunrock Farm owner Dr. Frank Traina, known as Farmer Frank, holds one of the decorations that will be used for the evolution parade during the day.
Sunrock Farm in Wilder to host evolution-themed Halloween events By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com Sunrock Farm in Wilder is hosting some Halloween events with a bit of a twist. Instead of ghosts and monsters, those who attend the event will be seeing evolution-themed costumes and activities. The Society for Evolution Education is sponsoring the events Oct. 31, which include a family party during the day and Evolution Ball for adults at night, in partnership with Sunrock, students at Northern Kentucky University and other organizations. The event is one of many evolution-themed events happening this year, the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and 150th anniversary of the publication of his book “The Origin of Species,” said Dr. Frank Traina, owner of Sunrock. “09 is a very important year for evolution,” Traina said. “We are using this event as an opportunity to bridge the gap between the arts and humanities and the science.”

Carol Carlson, administrative assistant at Sunrock Farm, shows off an evolutionthemed mask, a bird with teeth. The farm is hosting an evolution themed family party and an Evolution Ball for adults on Halloween. By working with biology and art students at NKU, Traina said the farm is offer-
ing an artistic view of the scientific process of evolution.
“We do both at this farm, we explore the earth from a scientific approach and celebrate its beauty through song, dance, art and storytelling,” Traina said. During the family party, which runs from noon to 6 p.m., patrons can participate in a games, art, a parade, costume contest and holding farm animals. The adults’ Evolution Ball, which is from 8 p.m. until midnight, includes a Haunted Habitat, games, live music by Busted Bridge, costume contest, a bonfire and refreshments. The cost of the events is $5 for children and $10 for adults. Traina said he hopes people come in homemade, evolution-themed costumes. An example of an evolution-themed costume, Traina said, is a bird mask with teeth since at one time birds had teeth, but have since evolved. “People have billions of years of evolution to chose a costume from,” Traina said. Sunrock Farm is located at 103 Gibson Lane, in Wilder.

Checking our images of God Humans have a strong tendency to categorize things. Then we paste our categories in a mental book titled, “Things I Know For Sure.” This makes us feel more secure but less enthralled. Often it takes a crisis to rediscover how something old can be new again. St. Augustine has always intrigued me. After his conversion to Christianity, he wrote a prayer that began, “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new …” Imagine that! Not perceiving God in the typical category of being judgmental, severe or powerful – but beautiful. God is a frequent recipient of our familiarizing. God never grows up in our minds, never becomes new, exciting and breathtaking. He remains an old grandfatherly man or mean-spirited critic.
Certainly there is a need to recognize the stability and steadfastness of God. The psalmists often used descriptive words like “fortress” and “rock” to do this. What must be remembered is that God is an absolute mystery. St. Anselm described God as “The One beyond that is able to be thought.” That means in our dealings with God we must develop a tolerance for ambiguity. In his book “God, The Oldest Question,” William J. O’Malley, S.J., writes, “I do believe that the Holy Spirit is a feminine principle within God, just as the book of Wisdom pictures her. “But in my experience, God is … far more masculine (challenging, rational, decisive, unbending) than feminine (cherishing, enfolding, mothering, consoling.) Again in my experience, if God is a ‘she,’
To expand the quality of our lives, G.K. Chesterton once said that our spiritual and psychological task is to learn to look at familiar things until they become unfamiliar again. This holds true whether the familiar thing be a flower, a snowfall, a job or even God. Mystics call this process “awakening.” Most of our lives we just go on turning the pages of our mental book, “Things I Know For Sure.” Our pictures of God were pasted there when we were kids. Now they’re cracked, sepia-colored, and a little dusty. Archie Bunker had a large album of them to which he referred frequently. One of the attractions to the recent novel, “The Shack,” seems to be the different images used for the Triune-God. Archie would have condemned the book.
God is one damn tough cookie.” The parables of Jesus Christ are stories about people, but their real plot is about the heart of God. Notice that there is always an element of astonishment, surprise and the unexpected in them. The measured expectations of those hearing them are shattered. God was always more than anticipated. John Shea writes, “As Mark says, ‘He was too much for them.’ Like a woman who loves too much, like ointment that costs too much and is spilled too much, like a seventy-times-seven God who forgives too much.” Today we like a housebroken God, a God we can keep on a leash, who has predictable habits, doesn’t generate questions, and makes sense by our logic. Author Kathleen Norris writes:
“One so often Father Lou hears people Guntzelman say, ‘I just can’t Perspectives handle it,’ when they reject a biblical image of God as Father, Mother, as Lord and Judge, God as a lover… God on a cross. … If we seek a God we can ‘handle’ that will be exactly what we get – a God we can manipulate, suspiciously like ourselves, the wideness of whose mercy we’ve cut down to size.” What we get then is not God. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com 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.
Deadline nears for federal first-time home tax credit tunity. The tax credit, available for first-time homebuyers, as well as to individuals who have not owned a principal residence in the three-
year period prior to purchase, expires Nov. 30. That means that home loans closed past that date will not qualify. Since it generally takes a
couple of weeks to negotiate a purchase, then 30 to 45 days to close on a loan – with more stringent appraisal and disclosure requirements adding more time to
the closing process – it is crucial that those wanting to take advantage of the incentive realistically select a home by mid-October to meet the deadline.
“New homeowners have accounted for approximately one-third of recent home purchases,” added Jim Huff, CEO and president of HUFF Realty.

Treat your palate to tastes of the past When it comes to autumn festivals, two stand out for me – the Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio, and the Old West Fest i v a l between M o u n t Orab and Williamsburg. They are as difRita ferent as Heikenfeld night and day to Rita s kitchen e a c h other, but each is historically correct, whether it’s the architecture, dress code, entertainment, or the food offered. Plus when you visit, you are literally transported back into time. Now I love to cook, but I’m not sure I’d make it as a “Renaissance girl” in the kitchen. And I don’t think Drew Deimling, a Hyde Park reader and proprietor of the Old West Festival, would hire
me as a cowgirl rustling up supper. I thought it would be fun, though, to share recipes for the kind of foods eaten during those times.
Food fests
• Renaissance Festival, Harveysburg, Ohio. Saturday and Sunday, 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. through Oct. 25.
Kathy’s Renaissance chicken pie served in bread bowls
Originally from Kathy Kneipp, a Clermont County reader. She loves history and taught her kids about the Renaissance by having them help her prepare a Renaissance meal. Here’s my adaptation: 2 frying chickens, cut up 1 teaspoon garlic powder (opt.) 1 small onion, cut up 4 tablespoons butter 1 ⁄2 cup flour 1 cup milk Broth from chicken Salt and pepper to taste Fill a pan with enough water to cover chicken, add garlic powder and onion,

Rita lunching at the Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg. • Old West Festival, Williamsburg/Mount Orab, Ohio. Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. through Oct. 11. but do not add the chicken yet. Bring water to a boil. Lower heat then add chicken. Simmer until tender. Remove chicken, let cool and remove from bones. Reserve broth. Melt butter in a skillet, whisk in flour and cook slowly for one minute. Add 1 cup milk and 1⁄2 cup chicken broth and stir carefully. Add another 1⁄2 cup broth.
Season everything with salt and pepper. Place chicken on a serving platter and pour sauce over and serve. To serve in bread bowls: Cut off top of round loaf of bread. Hollow out bottom 2⁄3, and set the reserved bread aside. In preheated 350 degree oven, toast the hollowed out bread round along with the reserved pieces for a few minutes. Pour the chicken topped with sauce into bread bowl. Use chunks of reserved bread to dunk into bowl and to act as a utensil.
per to taste, in the crockpot until done (about three hours on high, five hours on low). When cool, shred. Measure out 1 quart broth from cooked meat. Add to that:
1 bottle ketchup 1 ⁄2 cup mustard 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika (opt.) 1 ⁄2 to 1 cup brown sugar 1 bay leaf 2 slices lemon 1 tablespoon each: vinegar and Worcestershire sauce Dash or two Tabasco sauce (opt.) Cook 10 minutes, remove bay leaf and add meat that has been shredded. Put all back in crockpot and cook 30 minutes longer, uncovered. Use a soup ladle to serve on warm buns. Even easier: To a bottle of purchased barbecue sauce, sprinkle in some chili powder, garlic powder and, if you want it sweeter,
Old West pulled pork barbecue
In the Old West you had to raise the pig, butcher it, smoke the hams, etc. Lucky for us we can just go to the grocery where the pork is neatly wrapped, ready to cook. Cook a pork loin roast in 3 cups water with a diced onion, a teaspoon or so minced garlic, salt and pep-
brown sugar to taste. Thin with a bit of the broth if you want. Again, cook about 30 minutes uncovered in the crockpot.
Can you help?
The number of requests for these recipes is growing each day: • Like Syktop Bigg’s chicken salad • Mio’s creamy garlic salad dressing • Strawberry lasagna like Bravo’s Café, Augusta, Ky.

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