Taylor Mill Police Sgt. Patrick Reis applied for and was awarded more than $70,000 in non-matching state grant funds to purchase digital video recorders for every Taylor Mill cruiser. Reis said the cameras should be installed in all 11 cruisers by the end of the year.

Taylor Mill cruisers to get new video systems By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Taylor Mill Police cruisers will receive a more than $72,000 upgrade by mid-November. The department applied for the non-matching grant under provisions of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. The $72,425 will allow the department to equip all 11 cruisers with state-of-the-art digital video recorders that will record inside and outside the vehicle.

Grant-writer Sgt. Patrick Reis said the in-car video system will save hours of police labor. Police use in-car video as evidence. The current system uses VHS tapes and takes much longer than the digital system will, Reis said. “Generally it’ll take you 45 minutes when you need to get a tape, pull it out, view it, copy it and bring it in as evidence,” Reis said. “The new system has a hard drive that records 8 to 10 hours of video. When you come back to the office it automatically downloads to the computer.”

Reis said officers will click a button to send their video to a disc, print a label and go. The digital video cameras will also cut down on paperwork, liability and keep officers on the street longer, Reis said. “It will greatly improve the efficiency of the department and give the citizens better service because we’re going to be out there longer,” he said. “It’s just a great thing to have for police officers all around.” Taylor Mill Police Chief Steve Knauf said Reis has secured nearly half a million dollars in grant

money for the department over the last 15 years, which he called “outstanding.” “Receiving such a large amount of grant funding during these very difficult economic times is huge for our department and the citizens we serve,” he said. “Sgt. Reis was instrumental in securing this funding.” The Taylor Mill Police Department will begin installation of the digital video systems in midNovember. All cruisers will be upgraded to the new system by the end of the year.

The Sisters of Notre Dame hope to give Covington’s students a much-needed boost. In January 2010 the sisters will open an Urban Education Center in Covington’s historic Licking River District at 14 E. Eighth Street. The Sisters of Notre Dame will provide tutoring, cultural enrichment, computer skills and reinforce learning with community projects after school for Covington Independent Public Schools children. “We are trying to do something positive for those kids,” said Barbara Cruze, the director of mission advancement for the province. “The Sisters of Notre Dame have been a part of this community since the 1800s, when they first came here. They started out teaching with Mother of God Parish on W. Sixth Street and they have been a part of education in this city ever since,” Cruze said. Currently over $400,000 in renovation and restoration is happening in the old Salvation Army

St. E 20th street campus will be nursing home By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

The St. Elizabeth Healthcare 20th Street Covington campus will be transformed into an 82-bed nursing home by early 2010. Prior to the sale the St. Elizabeth location had also operated as a nursing home, but the hospital only had 19 long-term care beds available. A group of investors plan to develop the as-yetunnamed campus to house multiple services for the

In addition to the nursing home, the 20th Street campus will still house the Diocese of Covington and the St. Elizabeth finance division. The St. Elizabeth

emergency department, wound care center, dialysis, women’s services and outpatient services have been moved to the new St. Elizabeth Covington Ambulatory Center at 1500 James Simpson Jr. Way off of 12th Street. Hagan, who has over 19 years of experience as a nursing home administrator, hopes the nursing home’s community outreach will help revitalize that part of Covington. “The hospital is historically significant to Covington. Most folks over the age of 40 were born there or had some interaction with that building,” he said. “We think it’s a great opportunity to take historic buildings like that and revitalize that urban core.” St. Elizabeth Healthcare president and CEO Joseph Gross said the 20th Street campus has been an “integral” part of Covington ever since it emerged “from an orphanage and nursing school to a comprehensive acute care facility to the present.” “We are pleased to see the campus continue serving the community through this endeavor,” Gross said.

Police grants

KENTON COUNTY – The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety announced that several local police departments have received grants to help target dangerous driving, seat belt usage and child safety seat usage. The Kenton County Police Department received $15,000 while the Independence Police Department received $20,000. The Fort Mitchell, Lakeside Park/Crestview Hills and Erlanger police departments also received funding.

The funding can be used to help the department with overtime hours for their officers, as well as for equipment. In a released statement, KOHS executive director Chuck Geveden said the funding is an important tool for the department. “We are firmly committed to improving the safety in Kentucky communities by providing law enforcement with these necessary resources,” he said. “We must attack the problem in the forefront before we risk losing more lives on Kentucky’s highways.”

City taking the bite out of vicious dog ordinance By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

What constitutes a vicious dog in the city of Independence could change next month. Independence City Council heard the first reading of an ordinance modifying the definition in an earlier ordinance of when a dog is vicious at the regular meeting Monday Oct. 5. In the existing ordinance, a dog must bite a person to be considered vicious. Two sentences in the new ordinance provide for officers to cite a dog’s owner if it has the “propensity” to be vicious or if the enforcement officer has to take “defensive action” against

the animal or if the officer feels “immediate apprehension of bodily harm.” “This really corrects that ordinance,” said Mayor Chris Moriconi. “It takes out the one-bite rule.” The issue of vicious animals was first brought before council at the regular meeting Sept. 14. Residents living on Roselawn Drive were concerned about another resident’s pit bulls. “This is a really good solution for everyone involved,” said Roselawn Drive resident Kirk Huesman, who attended the Oct. 5 meeting. “It’s a good solution for pit bull owners and for residents. This allows for action before injury.” Roselawn Drive resident Mike Ponzer agreed. “I think it’s a step in the right direction,” he said.

“It’s a lot better than what they had.” City Council also amended the existing ordinance to include language restricting the ownership of exotic animals and increased the amount of insurance required for the owner of a dog determined to be vicious from $100,000 to $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence. The city decided not to enforce an outright ban of pit bulls because council did not feel like it was needed, Moriconi said. “I think this is common ground. It’s not breed specific, but it has more enforcement and teeth to our current ordinance,” he said. City Council will hear a second reading of the ordinance at their regular meeting Nov. 2.

Library bringing 1920s to life By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Chez Nora is set to be overrun by bootleggers, flappers, and gangsters this week...and the library couldn’t be happier. “Our goal is to turn

[Chez Nora] into a speakeasy, so we can give people a feel of what that time was like,” said Venus Moose, the adult programmer at the Erlanger Branch of the Kenton County Public Library. “This is going to be a

fantastic night, and people are going to love it.” Using a grant from the Fine Arts Fund of Cincinnati, the library is sponsoring a special event at the Covington jazz club on Oct. 8 as part of their “One Book, One Community”

program. The program will include performances from local actors portraying the three main characters of “The Jazz Bird”, a story depicting the life of infamous Cincinnati bootlegger George Remus. Live jazz music and drink specials will be part of the affair as well. Moose said the library often has dramatic readings for some of their book discussions, but wanted to expand upon that idea to take advantage of the local flavor of the Craig Holden book. The book tells the story of Remus, his wife Imogene, and prosecutor Charlie Taft, who tries a murder case against Remus after Imogene is murdered. Moose said Erlanger Branch director Sue Banks contacted some local playwrights, who agreed to write several short monologues for each of the characters to act out. The characters will be in

full 1920’s dress costumes, and have been researching their roles extensively. “It’s really a tragic story, but it’s so fascinating at the same time,” said Tara Williams, who will portray Imogene. “When you read about this case, you just can’t imagine living during a time like this, but yet it also seems fun and exciting in a strange sort of way.” Buz Davis, who will portray George Remus, said guests should really enjoy getting to know his character, who was a “classic gangster”, but at the same time, was also was well-liked by many in the community. “He is known for the violent act of killing his wife, but there was really a lot more to his story, which I’ve found to be incredibly interesting,” he said. “Even though he was this criminal, people really liked him because he found

The program will be at Chez Nora Jazz Club in Covington, located at 530 Main Street. It will begin at 7 p.m., and is free to attend. Guests should be over the age of 21, since alcohol will be served.

Along the way For 28 months after being diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, Villa Hills resident Carolyn McGoy endured various treatments, tests and doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointments, all while riding an emotional roller coaster. And her husband Tom was there by her side through every step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That time is something that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade for anything in the world, because it was just her and I together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped me to understand that every day is a blessing.â&#x20AC;? Tom has documented the story in his new book, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Great Journey: A Love Storyâ&#x20AC;?, which was released on Sept. 28. The book chronicles the McGoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, starting with the September 2006 day when Carolyn was diagnosed. And while it does contain details about Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition and the ongoing

treatment process, Tom also talks about the happy moments, including a long weekend in Maine where they ate their fair share of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Red Bugsâ&#x20AC;? (Maine lobsters). He also recalled a special day in 2008 when Carolyn surprised him by insisting they maintain their tradition and attend the Great Inland Seafood Festival in Newport, despite her weakened condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That day was one of the best days of my life, without question,â&#x20AC;? he said, pausing to collect his emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so strong and so positive throughout this, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what inspired me to start writing everything down.â&#x20AC;? McGoy said he began organizing his thoughts after Carolyn, 68, passed away on January 28 of this year, originally thinking he would have only a few pages to share with family members and close friends. The McGoys were married just over 48 years, and have two children and six grandchildren.

Tom and Carolyn McGoy enjoy some Maine lobsters during a 2008 trip. They were married 48 years before Carolyn passed away earlier this year. However, once he began recalling their lives over the previous 28 months, the words began to fill page after page after page. He soon had a manuscript, which he distributed to friends and family, who encouraged him to have it published. After several editing sessions, McGoy would send his manuscript to Book Locker, who became his publisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it really was helpful for me to do this, because I was able to share both the good and bad parts of our journey through this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very emotional to write and I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read certain passages without tearing up, but I definitely feel like the book was a good idea.â&#x20AC;?

who got to know the McGoys during Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatments, said the book is a testimony to the McGoysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were the ultimate team, and they were so caring and loving to each other,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this book is not only wonderful tribute to Carolyn, who was an amazing person, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great window in showing how spouses deal with these issues, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perspective we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see.â&#x20AC;? McGoy, who is planning to market the book nationally, said that all proceeds from the book will go towards the cancer community. The book is available online at www.booklocker. com and www.amazon. com. for $11.95, and he hopes to make it available at local retailers as well.

Woodland Middle School to teach foreign language By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Woodland Middle School will soon bring Spanish language and culture into the classroom. Principal Eric Morwessel has hired a part-time Spanish instructor to teach students the basics of the language for 12 weeks at a time. The classes will begin Monday, Oct. 12. “You’ve got to hit them at the younger ages,” Morwessel said, explaining most students get some exposure in elementary school, but don’t study a foreign language again until high school. “That three-year gap is kind of hurting us.” Morwessel said Spanish seemed like the natural choice

because of the growth of Spanishspeaking people in the community. “It’s one of the biggest-growing languages, compared to French or Latin or German, in the area,” he said. The Spanish instructor will teach students general information such as colors and days of the week, but also connect it to Hispanic culture, Morwessel said. “If they have planted the seed in elementary, they’re going to be able to pick it up quickly,” he said. “A nice thing is she’s not going to teach out of a textbook. She’ll be pulling resources and organizing activities. I want there to be a cultural basis as well.” Eventually Morwessel hopes to expand the program to allow

eighth graders to earn high school foreign language credit before moving on to the ninth grade. “I’m excited,” he said. “I hope the kids get excited about it.” Kenton County Superintendent Tim Hanner said he “admires” Woodland for piloting the Spanish class and hopes the entire district will take a look at focusing more on speech and drama in addition to foreign languages in the future. “All the kids from Woodland transition right to Scott. They’ve got a real opportunity there,” Hanner said. “Leadership on both of those campuses are trying to find ways to bridge the transition from Woodland to Scott High School. They’ve done some of that in the past and I’m glad to see they’re continuing to explore.”

Woodland Middle School Principal Eric Morwessel took a pie in the face Friday Oct. 2 from sixth grader Sydney Hancock. The pie throwing was the “award” for students who attended the volleyball game vs. Campbell County Tuesday Sept. 29. Every student who attended the game had their name entered into a drawing and the winner got to “pie” Morwessel.

Index shows school improvement occurring too slowly Kentucky schools are improving too slowly, according to an analysis of state test scores released today by three statewide groups. The analysis, presented in a “Transition Index Report,” was developed by the Council for Better Education, the Kentucky Association of School Councils, and the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence to monitor school performance

during the three years that Kentucky is moving from the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System to a system based on new state standards and testing. The new system was mandated in legislation (Senate Bill 1) enacted by the 2009 General Assembly. The Transition Index is based on a formula similar to the one used in past years by the Kentucky Department of Education to

gauge school progress. The partner groups applied the formula to state test scores for 2009, which were released today, along with those for 2007 and 2008. From the analysis, the groups conclude that: • Elementary and middle school mathematics results and high school writing have shown important improvement. • Reading scores have been flat or declining statewide. • Scores in other subjects have been flat, declining or improving only slowly. Looking at combined results for all subjects, the analysis found: • 56 percent of elemen-

tary schools have reached proficiency or are improving at a rate that would take them to that mark by 2014. • 44 percent of middle schools have reached proficiency or would reach it by 2014 at the current pace of growth. • Only 15 percent of high schools would reach proficiency by 2014 if recent trends continue. “An index provides the big picture on whether schools’ strategies are working with kids,” said Ronda Harmon, executive director of the Kentucky Association of School Councils. “We see this transition project as a way to help schools measure their

progress until the new 2012 assessment begins.” Harmon added that her organization views the Transition Index project as a voluntary way for educators, parents and others to “see the big picture” in results from the Kentucky Core Content Tests. “Remember that our state is getting ready to set even higher standards,” said Daviess County Superintendent Tom Shelton, president of the Council for Better Education. “If current improvement is too slow to reach existing standards, there is great concern about how we will do when the new collegeready standards come into

play.” Cindy Heine, associate executive director of the Prichard Committee, said the point of the report is to let “everyone see the issues and work on moving achievement to higher levels.” Heine echoed Shelton’s thought on Senate Bill 1, adding, “For all students to be ready for college and workplace success, school improvement cannot wait for 2012. We all need to be working on quicker progress in 2009 as well as in future years.” The full report is available at www.kasc.net, along with results for each school and district in Kentucky.

Scott faces tough schedule before playoff By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

The Scott Eagles will spend the next few weeks fine-tuning and trying to improve as they prepare for the postseason. With a playoff berth already secured, the Eagles will go up against a brutal schedule over the final four weeks of the regular season. The key for Scott will be to focus on their preparation and performance and not worry about the final score as they face Covington Catholic, Holmes, Highlands, and Simon Kenton to finish out the regular season. “We want to focus on what we do,” assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Dan Wolley said. “We’ve got a really tough road ahead of us, but it’s just going to make us better prepared for the playoffs.” The Eagles have momentum heading into their Oct. 10 contest at Cov Cath, after defeating Lloyd 34-26 on Friday, Oct. 2. It was a back-and-forth shootout that featured big plays from both teams. The Eagles were able to make more of the big plays and made them when they needed them most. After the defense held Lloyd to a three-and-out on the first possession of the game, the Eagles offense put together a crucial scoring drive to take the early lead. “It was huge for us to get on board first and not play from behind like we have been,” said Wolley. Quarterback Zach Sowder rushed for 217 and two touchdowns. His 68-yard touchdown sprint in the fourth quarter sealed the win for the Eagles. Sowder surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the season early in the game. “We had trouble stopping their quarterback runs,” Lloyd head coach Roy Lucas said. “He’s really good.”

Simon Kenton junior Zach Carroll (right) breaks a tackle from Cooper quarterback Logan Schulkers en route to scoring a touchdown on an interception return during SK’s 62-0 win at Cooper Oct. 2. Every time the Eagles found the endzone, the Juggernauts responded. Seth Chappie rushed for one score and caught a touchdown pass. Quarterback Dylan McGuire passed for 247 yards and three touchdowns, including 49-yard score to Trevor Gregory on a double reverse flea-flicker in the second quarter to tie the game at 13. S c o t t responded with some trickery of its own, as sophomore Ryan Sowder connected with Doug Patton for a 37-yard touchdown on a halfback pass. Patton also rushed for a touchdown. Zach Sowder, who has been the Eagles’ do-it-all MVP all season, got some much needed help from his supporting cast. His brother Ryan rushed for 63 yards on nine carries, and sophomore Aaron Smith added 87 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. “I can’t say enough about Zach Sowder,” Wolley said, “but we also had some younger players step up when we needed them.” The Eagles improved to 2-4 on the season with the win. Wolley expects his team will benefit from a tough northern Kentucky

schedule come playoff time. Pulling out a win in a close game and seeing the offense come alive after being shut out the week before proves that the Eagles will battle in every game. “Our kids keep fighting to the end, and that’s what we’re most proud of,” said Wolley. “Northern Kentucky has the best football teams in the state and come the first round of the playoffs, we’re pretty sure our opponent will not have played as tough a schedule as we have.”

Holmes 28, Franklin County 12

The defense came up huge for the Bulldogs (6-0) as they clinched a playoff berth with the win. The defense posted two goal-line stands in the first half and intercepted two Franklin County passes in the fourth quarter to seal the win. Chris Hayes had both interceptions. Desean Peterson finished with six catches for 106 yards and a touchdown. Jesse Jenson completed 8 of 14 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for one touchdown. Greg Clemons added 89 yards rushing on six carries, including a 59-yard touchdown run in the third quarter after the Bulldogs’ lead had been cut to two. Holmes faces Dixie Heights on Friday, Oct. 9.

for 77 yards, and Martin nine for 45. Ludlow had 188 yards offense, 165 on the ground. Chris Yates had an interception and Josh Martin a fumble recovery. Ludlow plays at Beechwood 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2.

SK junior returns to state tourney By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Morgan Larison expects a better experience in her second state golf tournament. The Simon Kenton junior will compete in the state tourney after shooting an

86 in last week’s Region 6 girls’ golf championship. She grabbed one of four individual berths for players not on qualifying teams. Last year, Larison shot an 88 and did not make the cut to compete in the second round. She missed the cutoff by just two shots.

Like recent years, the state tourney will be in Bowling Green. The girls compete Oct. 9-10. “Last year I was nervous, but I’m a little more calm and confident because this is my second time going down there,” she said. “I know the course better and I

should be able to make the cut.” Golf has been a staple in her family since she was little. Larison has played for most of her life and has been part of the Pioneer team since seventh grade. She considers herself to be a good long-ball hitter.

“I like the competitiveness of it,” she said. “It’s Larison just you against yourself and the course and trying to beat your score.”

lose for the third year in a row, but I’m proud that we’re going back down to state,” senior Mickey Sutton said. The state tournament is Oct. 6-7 in Bowling Green. Sutton, the lone returning starter from 2008, shot an 81 for the Colonels. The last CovCath golfer to finish his round, his 39 on the back nine proved to be crucial in what turned out to be a tight race for the second team berth at state. Cooper was two strokes behind CovCath in third place. “I’m proud of the guys for battling,” said head coach Mickey Fritz. “We didn’t happen to bring our ‘A’ game. We’ll just have to compete well at the state tourney and get ready for that.” Alex Ammerman was CovCath’s top finisher with 80. Joey Frederick and Andrew Kendall had 84’s and Josh Moorman shot 89. Sutton, in his fourth year on the team, was looking forward to bouncing back at state.

Mickey Sutton is the lone returning starter for Covington Catholic. “Golf is a daily challenge,” he said. “You can always start over the next day.” Beechwood’s Drew Kinman (78) and Dixie Heights’ Blake Adkins (79) snared individual spots at state with their scores. Adkins, a freshman, is in his third season with the Colonels. His career best score is 69 at the Kenton

Transplant trees, shrubs in fall Question: Is this a good time to plant trees and shrubs in my landscape, or should I wait until spring? Answer: Broadleaf evergreens like hollies, boxwoods and rhododendrons tend to dry out over the winter, since they “transpire” (lose water through their leaves) all winter; thus it may be better to wait until March or April to plant them. Most other trees and shrubs, however, respond well to fall planting. Selecting the right varieties for the location and transplanting them in the fall gives trees and shrubs a head start on winter and helps them provide pleasure and beauty for years to come. Now through November is a good time to transplant trees and shrubs. Ornamentals lose less

m o i s t u r e because fall days are shorter, outdoor temperatures are cooler and rainfall usually is adequate. These conditions also help Mike Klahr retain soil moisture so plants Community can settle into Recorder their new locacolumnist tion. Also, many of these plants are deciduous and lose their leaves in the fall so their demand for water is less. Trees and shrubs also undergo internal changes that promote root growth and increase tolerance to winter weather. Leaf growth during the summer produced sugars that were

moved into the roots, so ample energy is available to re-establish strong root systems after transplanting. Woody ornamental root systems continue to grow at soil temperatures above 40 degrees, so planting in October and early November usually will give them six to seven weeks before soils reach this temperature. For best results, choose ornamentals that are hardy to the area. Avoid trees and shrubs that are only hardy to zone six or above because they are only marginally hardy in Kentucky. Planting an assortment of shrubs and trees will slow down the spread of disease and insect problems. Several ornamentals can be successfully planted in early to late fall. They include coffee tree,

crabapple, elm (disease-resistant varieties only) ginkgo, honey locust, linden, sugar maple, pagoda tree and serviceberry. It is best to wait until after leaf drop later in the fall to plant birch, flowering dogwood, oak, red maple, sweetgum and tuliptree (tulip poplar.) Dig the planting hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball, but the same depth as the root ball. Ornamentals should not be planted any deeper then they grew in a container or field. If you are not sure how deep to plant a tree, plant it on the shallow side. It is less damaging to plant a tree too shallow than to plant it too deep where it may get root rot or die from lack of oxygen. Inadequate moisture during dry periods is the primary threat

to transplant survival most years. Recent rains have helped replenish ground moisture, but the plants still need additional water. Be sure to thoroughly soak the ground after transplanting. After transplanting, apply a two- to three-inch layer of mulch. Avoid piling mulch around the base of the trunk because this may encourage rotting, and may result in vole damage to the bark. Do not fertilize newly planted trees and shrubs during the first year because it will cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of root development. Also, amending the soil with sand, compost or peat moss is unnecessary and can keep an extensive root system from developing. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

CHATROOM 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

I also read there is a derivative of mercury (thiomersal) in the H1N1. Most severe reactions, permanent disabilities, and deaths caused by vaccines never get reported. I will probably skip the H1N1.” Duke

On Sept. 9, President Barack Obama came to the Capitol to address a Joint Session of Congress on the subject of health care reform. During his speech, the president outlined a number of broad proposals and requirements for any bill, but none were uttered more forcefully than this one: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits – either now or in the future. Period.” This declaration was so exacting that it led New York Times columnist David Brooks to dub it “the Dime Standard.” During his address, the president outlined several goals that both members of Congress and the American people can agree upon, like making coverage affordable for all Americans and enacting insurance reform to ensure people with pre-existing conditions can find coverage. I hope that the “Dime Standard” can be counted among these shared goals. However, it is one that the health care bill being debated by the House (H.R. 3200) currently fails to meet. In

fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that H.R. 3200 would add $239 billion to the deficit in the U.S. Rep. first 10 years Geoff Davis alone and $1.6 trillion over 20 Community years. AdditionRecorder ally, H.R. 3200 guest will saddle columnist small businesses, manufacturers and families with $818 billion in new taxes. Health care costs already place a severe burden on American budgets. There are undeniable flaws in our system, and without reform, these costs will continue to grow and create new hardships for families, businesses, and state and local governments. For example, as currently structured, Medicare presents a serious challenge to the fiscal health of the federal budget. The

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 per-

sonally 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.

Boards of Trustees of the Medicare Trust Funds are required annually to report to Congress an assessment of Medicare’s fiscal future. In the most recent report released in May 2009, the trustees, who include three members of the president’s Cabinet, warned that the program will accumulate nearly $38 trillion in unfunded liabilities over the next 75 years. This simple mathematical fact requires attention from Congress as a part of the ongoing health care debate. We must protect seniors and fulfill the promises made by Congress as a part of reform. Instead of addressing this elephant in the room, H.R. 3200 proposes a whole web of new government programs and agencies that will add hundreds of billions to our deficit in the first decade alone. Health care reform must embrace ideas that in the end reduce costs to the system overall instead of simply rearranging the cost burden among different payers. At the end of August, the White House announced that it expects a $9 trillion deficit over the next 10 years. That projection is nearly $2 trillion more than the White House previously forecast only three months earlier. This latest news highlights the critical importance of President Obama’s “Dime Standard.” It is past time to end Washington’s addiction to irresponsible and unsustainable spending and borrowing. More government and more debt is not the right way forward for health care reform or for our economy as a whole. President Obama’s “Dime Standard” is a good marker in the debate over health care reform, but we must seize this opportunity to enact fundamental reform that will reduce the cost of health care system-wide. Health care reform legislation must take the steps necessary to fix what is broken, wasteful, and unnecessarily costly in American health care while preserving the aspects of the system that work. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to enact fiscally responsibly health care reform legislation. Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Hebron, is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

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

“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.

Help support breast cancer awareness at Schulz & Sons Jewelers Oct. 16 and 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 community 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.

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

have condemned the book. 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

man or mean-spirited critic. 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

in my experience, if God is a ‘she,’ 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 KathFather Lou leen Norris Guntzelman writes: “One so Perspectives often hears people say, ‘I just can’t 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.

Treat your palate to tastes of the past supper. I thought it would be fun, though, to share recipes for the kind of foods eaten during those times.

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, but do not add the chicken

Food fests

• Renaissance Festival, Harveysburg, Ohio. Saturday and Sunday, 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. through Oct. 25.

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. 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.

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 pepper 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, 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.

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

DISCOUNTED TICKETS Families walk for Children’s AVAILABLE! Provided The Owen family of Northern Kentucky will walk in the fourth annual Cincinnati Walks for Kids benefiting Cincinnati Children’s on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Coney Island. Registration and kids’ activities begin at 8 a.m. and the walk will begin at 10 a.m. Larry and Serena Owen understand the importance of the walk all too well. Their two children, Destiny, 3, and Jibril, 15, have visited several divisions at the hospital including the Teen Health Center, occupational therapy, audiology and ophthalmology. Serena credits the doctors at Cincinnati Children’s for saving Jibril’s life. “After going to another doctor for several years, we never realized that Jibril had hypertension. The first time we brought him to Cincinnati Children’s (a year and a half ago), they diagnosed him with it and told us that his blood pressure level was at stroke level,” Serena said. "We are grateful that the doctors at Cincinnati Children’s took the time to properly diagnose Jibril and to educate us about his medical condition.” Jibril is now a healthy teenager who enjoys playing basketball. Destiny was born with developmental delays and when she first started visiting Cincinnati Children’s two years ago, she had a tough time warming up to the doctors. But, over time,

Child Life Specialists have helped Destiny ease her fears of visiting the hospital and now her appointments go by smoothly. Serena said her family is grateful to everyone at Cincinnati Children’s for helping her family. In fact, the family is so fond of the Family Resource Center staff and the Child Life Specialists that they have honored both departments by giving them plaques to show them how much they are appreciated. “The staff at Cincinnati Children’s cares about their patients and they have been such a blessing to our family. Everyone there has helped our children to overcome daily obstacles and beat the odds,” Serena said. This will be the first year that the family will participate in the walk, and they’re looking forward to their family and friends joining them. As a not-for-profit organization, Cincinnati Children’s relies on events like Cincinnati Walks for Kids to help fund life-saving research, patient care and education. Cincinnati Walks for Kids is more than a fundraising walk. It’s a day packed with family fun at Coney Island, a Queen City treasure for more than a century. The day will begin with an opening ceremony to honor patients, families and caregivers and thank the community for its commitment to Cincinnati Children’s. Walkers may choose a 3-

mile or 1-mile walk route. All walkers will receive a medal as they cross the finish line, followed by a complimentary lunch. Throughout the day, participants can enjoy the Kids’ Carnival, where children can make crafts, enjoy four amusement rides and have their faces painted. Families can also visit the remembrance garden, a serene setting to honor loved ones. “Families often tell us they are walking to support the courageous child in their life or to raise awareness for a childhood disease or hospital program they are passionate about,” said Christina Mihalek, walk coordinator. “The walk provides a way for people to celebrate their loved ones and support a worthy cause.” There is no registration fee to participate. Each walker is simply asked to raise at least $25. Walk participants can choose to donate their gifts to a particular program or division within the medical center, or have their gifts used to meet the hospital’s greatest needs. Proceeds from the event will help provide hope and healing to the children and families cared for by Cincinnati Children’s. Strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are welcome. With the exception of service dogs, Coney Island does not allow pets. To register, visit www. cincinnatichildrens.org/wal k or call 513-636-2941.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

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…
