St. E strategic plan calls for changes By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

With new locations in Covington and Fort Thomas, St. Elizabeth Healthcare is planning some big changes for the future. The health care system, which also includes the locations in Edgewood, Falmouth, Florence and Grant County, has developed a strategic plan that will serve as a road map for the next three years, said Tom Saalfeld Sr., vice president and chief operating officer for St. Elizabeth Fort Thomas. The plan, which was developed through a 12-month process with input from the board of trustees, management, physicians and community leaders, includes mov-

ing and upgrading a variety of services. One of the biggest changes will be in obstetrics care. Currently, the facilities in Fort Thomas, Edgewood and Florence accommodate women for labor and delivery, but starting Nov. 1, Fort Thomas will no longer offer that service. In the second quarter of 2011, Florence will no longer offer the service, meaning all pregnant

women will have to go to the Edgewood location to deliver. The plan includes upgrading the Edgewood location to include a Level III NICU and nursery. In Fort Thomas, the space vacated by obstetrics may possibly be filled by expanding oncology, women’s services, chemical dependency and mental health. In Florence officials are looking at an additional med-surg unit with private beds and expanded

women’s services. The consolidation will allow St. Elizabeth to save money, offer more and expand services, Saalfeld said. Additionally, they hope the plan will decrease migration of patients to Cincinnati hospitals, he said. Saalfeld said the plan may change depending on the economy and possible health care changes by the federal government. “We’re trying to take steps now to be as strong as we can be financially,” Saalfeld said. “We’re trying to be proactive instead of reactive down the road if something happens with the health care system.” For more information about St. Elizabeth Healthcare visit www. stelizabeth.com.

Hauntingly good times at library

Taylor Mill resident Tami Starnes, a 16-year survivor of breast cancer, knows about the importance of self breast-exams. “That’s how I found my cancer,” said the mother of four and grandmother of one. “Early detection is absolutely critical to a good prognosis.” October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in Starnes’ opinion, it’s impossible to talk too much about the disease. “Any way we shine the light on awareness of breast cancer and what steps you can take to minimize as well as prevention and early detection is fantastic,” she said. “Your health is your health and you need to take control of it. Nobody knows your body better than you do.” Starnes is a volunteer for Reach to Recovery, a support program through the American Cancer Society for those dealing with breast cancer. Support comes from people who have suffered through breast cancer themselves. Starnes speaks with new patients and pairs them up with

You can say ‘I know what you’re going through right now, here’s what I found that helped me.’ It’s a bond and sisterhood you really can’t even explain,” Starnes said. Besides Reach for Recovery, Starnes has also been a participant in Cincinnati’s American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer five-mile walk for

about 11 years. This year the walk will take place at 8 a.m. Oct. 11 at Yeatman’s Cove on the Cincinnati riverfront. “You cannot only support the loved ones and the people they know who have struggled and either lost or are winning the race against breast cancer, but also generate the awareness for the community who may not be quite as aware,” she said. Nothing stimulates awareness like seeing “that whole sea of pink walking across the bridge,”

Do your part to help raise awareness about breast cancer by participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Greater Cincinnati’s five-mile walk Sunday Oct. 11 at Yeatman’s Cove on the riverfront. More than $100,000 has been already been raised for the cause on the Making Strides Web site, http://main.acsevents.org. Since 1993, nearly 5 million walkers have participated in more than 145 communities across the country, raising more than $340 million to fight breast cancer. Starnes said. “I honestly get choked up every year when I see that.” Starnes also is a volunteer with Look Good...Feel Better, a national public service program created to help individuals with cancer take care of their skin, hair, nails and more during cancer treatments. “When you’re going through your treatments your whole body changes,” she said. “It’s a great way to teach women how important it is to take care of themselves during this critical time.”

Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders couldn’t hold back a grin as he stood at the podium during a Sept. 21 Fort Mitchell council meeting, showing off a translating device. “Whenever we can get something like this using the money of drug dealers, that’s a positive for us,” he said. “Using their money to help law enforcement is something we enjoy being able to do.” Sanders presented the Fort Mitchell Police Department with the new translating device, which allows officers to communicate with non-English speaking residents in the field.

The device, which can translate into 17 languages, is pre-programmed with commonly-used law enforcement phrases, such as “Give me you driver’s license” or “let me see your hands.” His office purchased it using drug forfeiture money seized when dealers are arrested and sent to prison. Erlanger and Independence also have one of the devices, which retails for just under $1,000. “With a growing non-English speaking population, this is a very

useful tool,” said Sanders. “I think the officers here, especially with the interstate running through the city, will find this to be a tremendous benefit.” The device, which can translate into 17 languages, is pre-programmed with commonly-used law enforcement phrases, such as “Give me you driver’s license” or “let me see your hands.” The officer can say a keyword to trigger one of the phrases. The device also offers complete text translation, where officers can enter a sentence in English and have it translated to the language of their choice, making a conversation possible between the officer and the citizen. “Obviously, that’s not the most efficient way to conduct a long

conversation but it can be helpful at times,” said Sanders. Police Captain Jim Bussman said the department was grateful to Sanders for providing them with the device. “We’re very grateful that we’re able to get one of these, and it should be a big help to our officers,” he said. Councilman David Schrand also pointed out that with the World Equestrian Games set to come to Lexington in 2010, the device could be a necessity. “We’re hearing that there is going to be 750,000 people from all over the world for the games, and there’s obviously going to be some spill over up here,” he said. “So this is something that is really going to get some use.”

Turkey Foot name, mascot debated By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Twenty-one parents, students, teachers and community members spoke out at the Turkey Foot Middle School public forum Thursday Sept. 24. The forum allowed people the opportunity to voice their opinion on whether or not the middle school’s name and/or mascot “Indians” should be changed before the new school is opened in fall 2010. Of the 21 community members who spoke, more than two-thirds were against changing either the name or the mascot. The rest were for changing the mascot and two speakers were in favor of changing both. Speakers who researched said the “Turkeyfoot” name was inspired by its original purpose as a road once used by southern Kenton County farmers to take their turkeys to market. “I think we should respect the history and tradition that comes along with the school throughout time,” said parent Brad Hanna. “Just because the kids are moving into a state-of-the-art facility doesn’t mean we should disregard the past.” Teacher Carol Caudill, an alumni and 12-year educator at the school, was opposed to both changes. “I don’t believe that by taking away the Indian you are educating your children about Native American culture. Going into a new school building we can educate them more about Native American culture and their tribes,” she said. Parent Diana Long said the school’s mascot is “insulting” and “inaccurate.” “Opening this new school is an opportunity and a gift to teach our children respect and it’s an opportunity to demonstrate the integrity and the respect we want our children to come out of here with,” she said. Community member Guy W. Jones introduced himself as waku wa la, a descendent of the Lakota tribe, and said the mascot “Indian” is offensive to him. “The terminology used within the society is in fact detrimental,” he said. “So when we begin to think about these terms you need

A public forum was held Sept. 24 to allow the community to speak on whether or not the school's name and/or mascot should be changed when the new school opens in fall 2010.

All comments of speakers at the public forum were recorded and will be used by the Turkey Foot Middle School committee in their decisionmaking process on whether or not the school’s name and/or mascot should be changed, said Vice Principal Deb Obermeyer. A survey has been posted on the school’s Web site to allow community members not in attendance to voice their opinion. Visit www.tfms. kenton.k12.ky.us to take the survey. to think outside of the box. And yes, that head dress is offensive because it is not culturally nor historically correct to this part of the Americas. It is offensive – it is part of a destructive cultural genocide,” he said. Students also made their views heard at the forum. Seventh-grader Spencer Peace was against the changes. “I have Native American blood in me and I am personally not offended by the Turkey Foot Indians,” he said. “I see an Indian as being a strong, leading figure.” Student Andres Gasper felt the mascot should be changed. “We need to create an image we are proud of. How can anyone be proud of something so degrading to a group of people?” he asked. The mascot is a “TF” inside a circle decorated with feathers. An older mascot in the gym, where the meeting was held, depicts an American Indian in profile wearing a chief’s headdress. Middle school grades are also divided into teams given the names of American Indian tribes.

The district did not made adequate progress in the areas of math and reading among students with a disability, according to NCLB standards.

Across the district, there was a 1.65 percent increase in reading in elementary schools. “We’ve got to teach every kid and make every kid a success. We will continue to have that as our focus,” Martin said. Eight elementary schools and Turkey Foot Middle School made 100 percent of their NCLB goals. The remaining elementary schools (Beechgrove, Kenton and Ryland Heights) only missed one target each. Summit View

Middle School and Twenhofel Middle School missed two and three respectively. Dixie Heights High School missed two targets out of 13 while Scott and Simon Kenton high schools missed three NCLB targets. Districts that do not make their NCLB goals face federal consequences. This is the fifth year the district has not fulfilled all of its NCLB targets. District administrators will work with an assist team from the Kentucky Department of Education to improve its NCLB scores. On the school level, administrators use scores to break out students and

teachers in remediation groups at the big group, small group and one-onone level, according to need, said Deputy Superintendent Terri Cox Cruey, all in an effort to fulfill the district’s No. 1 goal of every student performing at or above grade level in numeracy and literacy. “We feel like we are on the right track for the kinds of interventions that are beneficial to students and that are really showing us what will have an impact on their learning, but it takes time,” Cox Cruey said.

set, if even one school does not make one NCLB target, the district has not satisfied NCLB requirements. For that reason, Assistant Superintendent Barb Martin does not think the NCLB results are indicative of the quality of education in Kenton County. “Schools are knocking the socks off of state assessments. We know kids are learning,” she said, citing the biggest jump in NCLB scores at River Ridge Elementary School.

Harlem Wizards game at Scott benefits charity

rcoomer@nky.com

The Harlem Wizards will be conjuring up a basketball game to support a good cause at 7 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 6 at Scott High School. The Scott High School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club decided to host the team in order to raise money for the club’s chosen charity, the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House provides housing for children newborn to 18 who are being treated at nearby hospitals as well as their families. “It’s something close to the heart,” said FCCLA president Jenna Lehkamp. “Just think about how stressful it is to stay there. The Ronald McDonald House can always use support from the community.” The junior hopes to host families from the Ronald McDonald House at the game itself so they can “get their mind off of it just for a little bit.” Organizing a fundraiser can take a lot of work, Lehkamp said, but the end result is worth it.

“We’re helping the community and I just feel that being a community leader means to help provide things for those who aren’t fortunate enough,” she said. Harlem Wizards representative Shelley Helton said the Scott game is just the type of event the Wizards like to get involved in. “You’re there for all the right reasons – you’re there for a good cause that brings the community together,” she said. Basketball fans should also just expect good times for the family. “It’s an amazing show, not just for the basketball skills, but also it’s an amazing family event. The players are very approachable,” she said. The Harlem Wizards is a basketball show team known for “trick hoopz and alley oops.” Plenty of tickets are available for the event.

Release and photosp provided Got milk? St. Augustine School does and the students celebrated it in a big way for World School Milk Day, Wednesday, Sept. 30. Most students drink milk with their lunch, but for the day they were reminded that kids around the world are doing the same thing. In anticipation of the day, first grade students collected their milk cartons to reuse as banks and planters. The pennies they save in their decorated milk carton banks will go to the Sisters of Notre Dame mission school in Uganda, Africa. They also surprised the lunch staff by presenting them with plants in the decorated milk cartons to thank them for their hard work. Upper grades used the day as a chance to look at the customs and diets of people around the world. Do people in every country drink milk? Does that milk only come from cows? The students found out. Sept. 30 commemorated the 10th Annual World School Milk Day (WSMD) designated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to promote the importance of school milk in children's diets. Children in over 40 countries representing every continent celebrated the day, including Germany, India, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Ethiopia, China, Iceland, Finland, Croatia, Indonesia and Oman. Organizers stress that the event helps children focus on making healthy beverage choices, especially milk, which provides calcium and eight other essential nutrients that growing children need. Research shows that children who drink milk at school are more likely to meet their daily nutrient needs. Milk provides three of the five nutrients the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recognize as being low in children's diets – calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Ludlow football built for speed

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Ludlow High School football team was a power unit last year. This year, the Panthers are built for speed, and they used it to outlast Bishop Brossart 35-14 in the Class 1A district opener for both teams Sept. 28. The game was postponed to Monday night because of a flu outbreak at Brossart. Ludlow (3-2, 1-0) won its third straight game and travels to Dayton Oct. 2. “We’ve got so much speed, it’s unreal,” Ludlow senior quarterback Zach Stegemoller said. “This year, we have so many weapons.” The Panthers needed them after falling behind 14-0 eight minutes into the game. Sophomore Chris Yates provided a q u i c k spark after t h a t , returning a kickoff for a touchdown after Brossart’s second score. Later in the half, Ludlow was backed up near its goal line after a Jordan Webster interception of a Brossart pass. Stegemoller escaped trouble in his own endzone and raced down the left sideline for a 94-yard touchdown to tie the game. “We had great play from our line tonight, and Hayes threw a big block for me (on the 94-yard TD),” Stegemoller said. The teams were tied 1414 going into the half, and Ludlow came out firing after play resumed following the school’s Homecoming festivities. On Ludlow’s first possession, Stegemoller connected with Yates for a 32-yard touchdown pass. On the next possession, sophomore Jake Kleier intercepted a pass and returned it to the Brossart 15. Five plays later, Stegemoller threw a 2-yard TD pass to Garrett Hall to make it 28-14. “Zach is such a good athlete,” Ludlow head coach Rick Hornsby said. “He’s come so far. He’s twice as good as he was last

year.” Jordan Webster added the last Ludlow score in the fourth quarter. Ludlow had 300 total yards. Jacob Ashcraft rushed for 103 yards, Webster for 34. O n defense, senior Drew Rice had 23 tackles, senior Matt Stolt 15 and sophomore Casey Perry 12.

CovCath 28, NewCath 14

The Covington Catholic Colonels head into a welldeserved bye week with the most momentum they have had at any point this season. The Colonels posted their third straight win Saturday, Sept. 26, and do not play again until Oct. 10 against Scott. CovCath bested Newport Central Catholic 28-14 to even their record at 3-3 on the season. The Colonels have gained confidence each week after starting the season 0-3. “The kids have worked pretty hard, kept their focus, and handled adversity well,” Cov Cath head coach Dave Wirth said. The Colonels overcame adversity to defeat the Thoroughbreds, playing without three offensive starters and falling behind 7-0 early in the game. NewCath blocked a punt to set up the game’s first score, a 14-yard pass from Brady Hightchew to Nick Woltermann. The ’Breds game plan

was to control the ball and limit the Colonels’ time of possession. That put pressure on CovCath to make the most of its time on offense. “We did a good job taking advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves,” Wirth said. After the New Cath touchdown, the Colonels responded with 28 unanswered points. The scoring started with a 82-yard drive capped by Brayden Erpenbeck’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Michael Best. On their next possession, Erpenbeck rushed for a 7yard score to give CovCath the lead late in the second quarter. Nick Martin preserved the Colonels lead by intercepting a Hightchew pass deep in CovCath territory in the closing seconds of the first half. Leo Schaefer took over in the third quarter, set up by another big stop by the CovCath defense. Troy Timmerman intercepted Hightchew at the CovCath 15-yard line on the ’Breds first drive of the second half. Schaefer wasted no time, rushing for an 85-yard touchdown on the Colonels’ first play following the interception. Schaefer finished with 131 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 10 carries. Erpenbeck added 95 yards on 17 carries to go with 77 yards passing. The Colonels rushed for 271 yards with an impressive 7.1 yards per carry average. “As a staff, we’ve been figuring out our talent and how to use it,” Wirth said. “We are figuring out who can do what. We hope to have it all figured out by the playoffs and to be a pretty tough matchup for anybody we face.” Hightchew added a fourth quarter touchdown run for New Cath. The quarterback finished with 135 yards passing and 108 yards rushing. New Cath plays at Newport on Friday, Oct. 2. With the bye week, Wirth plans on giving his team one or two days off and getting the team together for a community

Sandberg eyes return to state By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Christina Sandberg had never run a race of any kind until a year ago, when her sister recruited her to compete in cross country at Calvary Christian School. Just using her physical fitness from playing soccer at Calvary, she immediately put the Cougars on the cross country map. Joining the team in midseason, she had to scramble to get the required four meets in to be eligible for the postseason. Once there, the current senior from Independence finished well enough in the local Class 1A region to qualify for state, where she finished 40th. “I was very surprised,” she said. “Once I started, I got better and better. It was

That compelled her to give up soccer and devote herself to running. She hopes to get college offers this season. “We got together for some summer training and

she’s in better shape than she’s ever been,” head coach Garry Sebastian said. Some of her best efforts this year have been a thirdplace showing at the season-opening Holmes meet and a fourth-place at Ryle, finishing behind three top Northern Kentuck runners. “I like to push myself and try to get better each race,” she said. “I really enjoy running.” Sebastian, in his second year at Calvary, has been building the program almost from scratch. The girls’ team fielded a five-runner unit in most 2008 meets. At Holmes this year, Myrle Shelton and Kirsten Larson also finished in the top 15. Sebastian has four male runners after having just one last season. “It’s hard at our school,”

CovCath hopes to continue to build momentum heading into the postseason. “We need to improve our tackling on defense, cut back on our penalties, and keep refining things offensively,” Wirth said. “Our players are excited about the progress they’ve made.”

this Saturday, hosting Louisville Holy Cross 1:30 p.m. at Holmes. Against Bishop Ready, the Indians collected two TD passes from Jerry Arlinghaus, one to Jordan Norris, the other to Mike Herald. Arlinghaus threw for 137 yards. Markel Walker threw for 63 and rushed for 54. Paul Rafizadeh had an interception for the Indians.

Simon Kenton 56, Conner 14

Holmes 49, Pendleton County 6

Simon Kenton routed Conner 56-14 in the Class 6A district opener for both teams. SK (4-1, 1-0) travels to Cooper 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. The Pioneers rallied from an early 14-0 deficit and steamrolled the Cougars thereafter. SK standout tailback Miles Simpson had 203 rushing yards and five touchdowns, leading SK to 332 team yards on the ground. Chad Lawrence led the Pioneers to 165 passing yards and one score to Jacob Krummen. Lawrence, who was 11-of-14 passing, also had 56 yards and a rushing score. Sage Powell also scored on the ground. Zach Carroll had three catches for 64 yards. The Pioneers limited the potent Conner offense to 199 total yards, all but five of them in the air. Lawrence and Trey Pinkelton had interceptions, and Nik Brown recovered a fumble. Austin Baldwin led Simon with 11 tackles. Senior kicker Chris Repka broke the school’s career extra-point record, finishing the night with 52.

Damian Oden rushed for three touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs (5-0) in a rout. Oden finished with 170 yards on 13 carries. Greg Clemons added two rushing touchdowns for the undefeated Bulldogs. Holmes hosts Franklin County Friday, Oct. 2.

Dixie Heights 44, Scott 0

The Colonels (3-3) snapped a three-game losing streak with a dominating win over the Eagles (14). Senior quarterback Ryan Wilson led the way, passing for three touchdowns with zero interceptions. He finished with 273 yards on 20-29 passing. Dixie has a big test on Oct. 2, when the Colonels travel to face top-ranked Highlands at 7 p.m. Scott travels to Lloyd on Friday night and will need to improve a defense that has allowed an average of 38 points per game.

Organizers of the threeday Cincinnati International Cyclocross Festival Oct. 911 recently announced their international bicycle races had received a LIFT grant with assistance from Covington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? said Kathie Hickey, assistant director of economic development and community relations department manager. The grant is just the latest commitment to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only three-day international cyclocross event from Covington. 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 Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Devou Park Friday Oct. 9, the Java Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Headquarters for the weekend will be Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Radisson Cincinnati Riverfront hotel and general

admission to all three races is free. With more than $26,000 in cash prizes over the course of the weekend, it will be the richest cyclocross race weekend in U.S. history. All three races have also committed to paying the UCI women competitors, according to the formula devised by multi-time U.S. Mountain Bike Champion Georgia Gould, which brings prize parity to the top five men and women. It is thought that the prize purse for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Harbin Park will be a world record. In addition to the profes-

Air pollution is 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 risk for various health problems – right now and in the future.” A July study by the American 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 pol-

lution 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. “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.

Last week’s question

In a Dark, Dark Wood there was a Dark, Dark House

… and in that dark, dark house, there was a dark, dark room. The story goes on and on to smaller objects in the haunted house until finally a ghost jumps out of a box. This is the version by David Carter. In his rendition of this old tale the ghost is a pop-out figure which unfolds right off the page. I've watched various groups of children react to this story and they're always hanging on to every word. They jump, too, at the ending and then they laugh at themselves for being scared. What is my point talking about this popular book? My point is that Halloween is a wonderful time for stories and storytelling. It's the perfect holiday to share stories that are exciting and suspenseful, and it's the perfect holiday to enjoy programs at your public library. I work as a Children's Librarian at the Erlanger Branch Library and I've observed how much kids enjoy spooky stories. Today after reading a variety of books to a kindergarten class, the story they all asked me to read again was In a Dark, Dark Wood. It wasn't that they didn't like the other stories. I think it was the fact that the surprise ending excited them and that was thrilling. Children also love when they can dress up in their costumes and go out somewhere. We invite you to bring your

children, ages 12 and younger, to the Halloween Party on Friday, Oct. 30 from 5-6 p.m. at the Erlanger Branch Library. Or bring Theresa them to a weekGoedde ly story time or at any Community program one of our three Recorder branches. guest There is a columnist variety of programs for various ages. In October, there will be many holiday related themes. Another way to have children enjoy Halloween stories is to bring them to a Reading Buddies Session in October. Reading Buddies is a relatively new program at Erlanger Branch Library and I think it's one that many parents don't know about. The goal of the program is to help children improve their reading and language skills. Reading Buddy volunteers read with children, ages 2-12, using fun books we pull from our story-time collection. If the child is younger, the Buddy will read to them. If the child is older the Buddy will listen to the child read or perhaps alternate reading with the child. In October, there will be Halloween stories to share at each

After reading with a Buddy, children get to pick a prize and enjoy pizza. Sessions are every other Saturday morning from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and Monday afternoons from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. We have a wonderful group of volunteer readers who enjoy interacting with young readers and we just received a Target grant to support the Reading Buddies Program. So, it seems now is the season to bring your children to the library to enjoy the programs we have to offer. We invite you to come!

Why is the virus spreading among young people? Questions like these have been a recurrent theme at the public presentations that our department is holding on swine flu this month. While I am able to share the best science that’s available to date, unfortunately it’s impossible for me to answer each question with complete certainty. But it is important to share what is known. We know that the real danger of the flu lies in the fact that it wears your body down, opening it up to other infections. For someone with an underlying medical condition, such as asthma or diabetes, the flu combined with the existing condition is dangerous and often leads to hospitalization, and, in a number of instances, even death. A recently released study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined the cases of 36 children who died from swine flu. Two-thirds of the children had underlying medical conditions such as muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. The remaining one-third who died had no underlying conditions, but died due to a bacterial infection that took root while they were already infected with flu. Data like these have helped shape our plans for prevention and containment of the virus

already in our community. Since April, children with serious medical conditions have been at higher risk for complications from Steven swine flu, as Katkowsky, have pregnant M.D. women. Thus, these two Community groups are Recorder going to be guest among the first columnist to receive the vaccination when it is available in October or November. Looking at the seasonal flu, a different trend emerges: Adults age 65 and older comprise 90 percent of the 36,000 deaths that occur each year from complications related to influenza and pneumonia, according to CDC. Thus, they are targeted for seasonal flu vaccination and the onetime pneumonia shot, to prevent this common flu complication. To date, there have been no outbreaks of swine flu in older populations. The hard science on this isn’t in yet, but the theory is that the current swine flu virus is close enough to a virus that circulated many years ago that people who lived through that time period have built up immunity. While it seems strange that vaccination for a new strain of the flu would be targeted at different groups than the current seasonal flu vaccination, we must make priorities based on data. We’re also receiving many

The hard science on this isn’t in yet, but the theory is that the current swine flu virus is close enough to a virus that circulated many years ago that people who lived through that time period have built up immunity. questions about the number of swine flu cases. As the swine flu begins to spread further into our community, it’s becoming difficult to count every case. Keep in mind, however, that we don’t capture information on every case of seasonal flu either. Surveillance is an effective way of tracking the spread of the disease. We are now tracking statistics like school absentee rates. We’re working with physicians to determine what symptoms they are seeing in their ill patients. Public health is a branch of science, and recommendations from public health must be made based on the science at hand. As we continue to learn more about the swine flu, we will continue to use that information to make the decisions that will best protect our citizens and prevent the spread of the virus. I can assure you that I will continue to keep everyone in the community up to date with the latest information I have. Dr. Steven R. Katkowsky is district director of health of the Northern Kentucky Health Department.

Life

Kenton Recorder

October 1, 2009

What if I become angry with God? Honest people admit there are times they’re angry at God. Pious people pretend their faith is so strong that they’re never angry. A wise old lady said, “It’s better to be honest than pious.” If we’re human and honest there are times we do become angry and blame God for a lot of things (whether God’s responsible or not): he’s too silent; unresponsive to our needs; and unrelenting when our sufferings persist. We beg for a problem to be removed and it just gets worse. We pray for a dying child and the child dies. Years ago a mother’s 10-yearold son was killed in a freak accident. She stopped going to church and said she couldn’t believe in a God who would allow such tragedies to happen. Her anger is understandable. Yet, which of us can explain to

her or ourselves the mysteries of life? We might wonder – does the tragedy really demolish her belief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief she feels he caused her? What if she could rage and wrestle with God? God can take it. Might an honest human interchange with God possibly introduce her to a greater and loving God who suffers with her? When such existential crises occur some people lose their faith while very many eventually find their faith strengthened. God’s amazing grace is a powerful thing. Can we express our anger with God, and of all things, it still be considered prayer? Certainly! The Bible abounds with examples. The

prophets rebuked God at times for their hardships. Many of the Old Testament Psalms are known as “Lament Psalms,” prayers of complaint. God was real to them and they felt free enough to express their frustration. Certain psalms present us with words and feelings we might ordinarily hesitate using. “Lord, why do you cast me off and hide your face from me?” (Psalm 88) Others express our reliance on the care of God and complain when it seems missing, “God you are my rock, so why have you forgotten me?” (Psalm 42) Job’s wife was so angry she told Job to “Curse God, and die.” (Job 2:9) Where else can we be totally human if not before the One who made us? We can sing out our praise and gratitude to God. At

other times we can pray our frustrations and anger. We can also shout out our feelings of forsakenness and empty them out, send them echoing through the universe. Then, as we so often do in our human-to-human relationships, we see things differently and recant until the next time. Being open to God lets God be open with us. We can be true to him and to ourselves. We appreciate anyone who accepts our feelings of anger and doubt and accepts them, especially God. We begin to trust such a one with the rest of ourselves. Our honest struggles with God can permit us to make great advances in our faith. We begin to understand life with insights we never had before. Some of us cling too long to our

anger with God or another perFather Lou son. To feel hurt Guntzelman and plan vengeance is Perspectives tasty to the undeveloped soul. It enables us to feel perpetually wronged, entitled to self-indulgence, and serve as an excuse for our lack of compassion toward others. We cynically print on our personal coat-of-arms, “Poor Me, Mean God.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

No purchase necessary for sweepstakes entry A local woman says she was shocked to learn her 87-year-old mother has been spending thousands of dollars on items in the mistaken belief the more she ordered the better chance she would have of winning a million dollar sweepstakes. Angie Pauly of Madeira said she discovered her mother wrote as many as five checks in one day, for a nearly two years, as she ordered merchandise from Publisher’s Clearing House. “I had one checkbook and I added up, just since July, what she had spent, and it was like $700,” Pauly said. After locating another checkbook, Pauly found more checks had been written so the total since July came to more than $1,200. In many cases the items received do have some value. She paid nearly $38 for four silver dimes, but

w h e n Pauly took them to a coin dealer s h e learned they were w o r t h Howard Ain onlyS $4. h e Hey Howard! has gone through many of the items, putting them in boxes and trying to see which ones she can return to try to get back some money. Pauly said she called Publisher’s Clearing House. “When I called, a supervisor was to call me back. That never happened. They were supposed to send me a list of things she could return. I’ve never gotten the list,” she said. So I called Publisher’s Clearing House and learned the firm is aware some senior citizens are spending thousands of dollars each

year because they believe it increases their chances of winning the sweepstakes. As a result, a company spokesman said the company set up a consumer aid program to try to weed out big spending seniors who are confused about this. He said 75 percent of those who respond to the company’s mailings return their entries without buying anything. The mailings include statements that you don’t have to buy anything to win but, he said, some seniors still don’t understand. After I explained the problem with Angie Pauly’s mother, the spokesman told me Publisher’s Clearing House will send her postage-paid labels to help her return the items so she can get back the money. As proof you don’t have to buy anything to win, the spokesman said most of those who have won the major sweepstakes prizes at

Publisher’s Clearing House over the years did not order anything with their winning entry.

Tickle your kids pink with healthy ice pops How is it that I can easily make, from scratch, a pastry-shop quality, multilayer Viennese torte with a delicate cooked pastry cream filling, yet have trouble sometimes with b o x e d cakes? I learned Rita why last Heikenfeld night at cake decoRita s kitchen r a t i n g class. I forgot to follow the advice my teacher, Martha Buckler, gave: Don’t mix on too high a speed since that causes air bubbles. Instead, smack the cakes down on the counter to remove air bubbles before baking (my mom always did that), and bake at 325 degrees and not 350 degrees. You’ll have to bake a bit longer. Also if you’re using 9-inch round cake pans use two boxes of cake mix to fill them up nicely. Ditto for a 9-by-13 if you want a nice, high cake.

You’ll wind up having some leftover for another small cake.

Healthy pink lemonade dreamsicles for kids

For the mom who wants a healthier frozen treat for her kids. “I want to give them something that tastes good but is good for them,” she said. From my book “The Official Snack Guide.” These are great post-game snacks. 2 cups plain fat free yogurt 1 ⁄2 cup frozen pink or regular lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 teaspoon vanilla Blend everything together and pour into ice pop molds or four, 6-ounce paper cups. If making in cups, when partially frozen, insert craft sticks. To make orange dreamsicles: Substitute orange juice for the lemonade Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you’re going to serve these right from the cooler for the kids at the

game, skip the sticks and pack plastic spoons.

Farm stand corn salad

Friend Mary Lee Olinger brought this to my home recently for an impromptu dinner with friends. Here’s the history of the recipe: It started with Martha Helmick, then went to Peggy Robinson and onto Mary Lee. It was pretty as a picture and delicious to boot. 4 ears fresh corn 11⁄2 lbs. asparagus or green beans (sometimes I use both ) 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 ⁄4 cup basil, cut into small pieces 3 tablespoons minced red onion 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper In large saucepan filled with salted boiling water, cook corn for seven minutes. Take corn out and submerge in cold water. In same pan cook asparagus or green beans until crisp tender.

Question: Some critter is making lots of small holes in my lawn. The holes are 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter, but the dirt is not pushed up like a mole would do, and there are no mounds of soil. It also makes trails through the lawn where it apparently runs on the surface from hole to hole, but I have never seen the animal. What do you think it is, and how can I stop it? Answer: The damage you are describing is caused by a vole, which is similar to a field mouse. Voles may cause extensive damage to lawns by making holes, and they also damage or kill trees and orchards by chewing on the bark and girdling the trunks of the trees. The amount and extent of damage will vary, and the best approach is a pest management system that integrates biological, mechanical, and chemical prevention and control techniques. Often referred to as meadow mice or field mice, voles are small compact mammals with stocky bodies, small rounded ears, short legs, and a short tail. When fully grown, voles are 4 to 5 inches long. Their long, coarse hair can be blackish, grizzled, or reddish. The three vole species that damage Kentucky orchard trees and lawns are pine voles, prairie voles and meadow voles. Voles eat a variety of grasses and broad-leaved weeds. They will also eat seeds, tubers, bulbs and rhizomes. Prairie and meadow voles feed on tree bark primarily during the fall and winter. However, pine voles characteristically attack trees of all sizes during all seasons. Most pine vole damage occurs below ground where the animals feed on rootlets and the bark of larger roots. Voles do not hibernate and are active all year long. They are most active during

CONCRETE LIFTING

the day. Areas of activity are small (1/4 acre) and depend on population number, Mike Klahr food supply, Community habitat, and Recorder season. A typical vole guest habitat concolumnist sists of h e a v y , dense ground cover where the animals construct many burrows, tunnels, and runways. A single burrow system may contain several adults and young. Voles breed from January through October in Kentucky and can produce an entirely new generation within about 60 days. Vole numbers fluctuate from year to year; under favorable conditions, populations can increase rapidly. Most orchard problems occur during these periods of rapid population growth. Although voles have a high reproductive rate, they are also a mainstay in the diet of hawks, owls, foxes, coyotes, and other meateating animals. In addition, the lifespan of a vole is short, ranging from 2 to 16 months. More than 80 percent of young voles die in their first month of life. The best approach to managing vole damage in lawns and orchards is to use an integrated system with a variety of techniques. Control works best during the winter, reducing next year's breeding population. Habitat modification and exclusion provide the best longterm control for voles. Biological control methods include habitat modification and population

reduction through trapping. Habitat modification means keeping lawns mowed, and getting rid of any nearby cover from weeds, brush piles, rock piles and excessive mulch. Make sure no mulch is piled up against tree trunks, since that would invite bark feeding by voles. When vole populations are low or concentrated, trapping may be an effective control technique. The simple, wooden snap mouse trap or Sherman live trap is commonly used. Bait the traps with a mixture of peanut butter and oatmeal or dried apples. Trap placement is crucial as voles rarely stray from their usual travel routes. Examine the area for nests, burrows, and runways in the grass or mulch. Place the traps perpendicular to the runway with the trigger end in the runway. Be sure to set enough traps. Cover each

trap with an upside-down milk crate with a rock on top to help keep dogs and cats out of the trap. Another option is to place the baited trap inside a short piece of pipe or large conduit tube laid in one of the runways through the grass. Traps must be checked daily and dead animals removed.

Hyper Gallery Hop kicks off Covington’s Full Spectrum The Covington Art’s District kicks off Full Spectrum, a monthlong celebration of the arts, with a Hyper Gallery Hop showcasing over 50 venues throughout the city on Friday October 2 from 610 p.m. Visitors are invited to explore the wonders of Covington through galleries, businesses and other spaces to be introduced to art and mini-celebrations. Joe Ruh, the owner of Joe Ruh Photography at 33 Pike Street, has expressed his passion on the importance of the Covington Art’s District and the Full Spectrum event. “The art is our culture, it is

becoming our culture more and more every day as we are using it more than actual communication,” Ruh said. He is a retired NKU Photography professor who has recently opened his studio in the District. Ruh will offer a unique visual experience, on one of the many stops of the Hyper Gallery Hop, featuring High Dynamic Range Imagery. Greenup Café will also be a ‘Hop Stop’ for visitors. While Covington is dedicated to providing visitors with a local experience of art through Full Spectrum, Greenup Café echoes this goal

with their dedication to local farmers. Covington Art’s District wants to showcase local supporters in the ‘Hype Hop’ because they give so much back to the community. Motch Jewelers, the 152 year old, completely antique jewelry store on historic Madison Avenue in Covington draws visitors from around the country for it’s unique display of antiques with a hint of modernity. Motch Jewelers will be participating in the ‘Hype Hop’ with two artists, a jeweler and ceramist, displaying their work for visitors to enjoy. Johnny Chu, owner of AmerA-

sia in the heart of Covington, will also be providing visitors with a one of a kind experience by hosting noodle-making demonstrations where Chef Rich Chu will be rolling homemade dough. Chu chose Covington for his authentic Chinese-Taiwanese cuisine restaurant for its New York City Feel. These evolving parts of Covington will be what makes the Hyper Galley Hop an amazing experience for visitors of all kind. As Covington is made up of fascinating places to see, the Hyper Gallery Hop will involve them all to include visitors in what is a true hidden wonder in the Northern

Kentucky/Cincinnati area. Other incredible stops in the Hyper Gallery Hop will include many Covington treasures such as Fabulous Bridal, Passionate Arts Gallery, Down Under Café, Leapin’ Lizard Gallery, Rima’s Diner and of course the Artisans Enterprise Center, which will be the headquarters for the Hype Hop. The Hyper Gallery Hop, the kick-off event for the month-long Full Spectrum Event, is October 2 from 6-10 p.m. starting at the Artisans Enterprise Center, 7th & Washington.

United way campaign continues with challenge United Way of Greater Cincinnati has announced a new $1 million broaden the base challenge match to support its goals of raising at least $62 million and attracting 10,000 new donors. Campaign chair A.G. Lafley, P&G chairman of the board, said, “We are announcing this $1 million challenge grant to encourage more people to participate. This is a key goal of this campaign. To meet the increasing needs in our community we need everyone to participate.” Lafley continued, “To help with our goal of 10,000 new donors, we'll match the gift of

every new donor one to one. For every new or increased dollar from Leadership Givers of $2,500 or more, we'll also match one to one,” he said. Leadership Givers include Tocqueville donors of $10,000 or more. There's a goal of 1,000 new Leadership Givers and a goal of 150 new Tocqueville donors. “And, for every new gift at $25,000, or increases from that level, the match will be two to one.” The match fund was created by gifts from individuals, companies and foundations. They are: Sue and Bill Butler, Castellini Founda-

tion, Mr. Stanley M. Chesley and The Honorable Susan J. Dlott, Cintas, Carrie and John Hayden, Dr. Stanley and Mickey Kaplan Foundation, A.G. Lafley, Ken Lowe, Ohio National Financial Services, Francie and John Pepper, PNC Foundation, The Procter & Gamble Fund, and Mr. and Mrs. James M. Zimmerman. The broaden the base match joins two matching gifts already in place to support Leadership Giving. The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr.,/U.S. Bank Foundation offers a match for all new and increased Tocqueville Society gifts of $10,000 or more. Vickie

Buyniski Gluckman is offering a challenge match for all new and increased gifts of $2,500 or more from women, part of a $1 million gift over four years. The campaign kicked off Aug. 26 and announced a goal of at least $62 million, an amount Lafley termed the “minimum acceptable.” It's the amount the campaign raised last year but given that the needs are greater than ever, the campaign is shooting to do better than this. Workplace campaigns are in full swing. Individuals not reached through the workplace can find information and an

opportunity to give on United Way's new campaign micro site www.wecanliveunited.org. The campaign supports services in the areas of education, income and health - the basic things we all need for a good life in Hamilton, Clermont, Brown, and northeastern Butler counties in Ohio, Boone, Campbell, Kenton, and Grant counties in Northern Kentucky and Dearborn and Ohio counties. The American Red Cross, Cincinnati Area Chapter, is United Way's fundraising partner in the campaign, which ends October 30.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
