Covington Mayor Denny Bowman read a proclamation in honor of White Cane Safety Day to members of The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind Thursday Oct. 16. White Cane Safety Day is meant to celebrate the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired as well as the white cane, a symbol of blindness and independence. Bowman and the council met on the corner of 26th and Madison Avenue to commemorate the opening of the second audible traffic light in Covington. The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind has worked for the last few years with the city and the state highway department to get the audible light system installed.

Members of The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind commemorated White Cane Safety Day Oct. 15 with the release of celebratory balloons at the site of the second audible traffic light in Covington Oct. 16. The organization had worked for the last three years with Covington and the state highway department to install an audible traffic light at the corner of 26th Street and Madison Avenue, the second in the city. The light was installed at the end of August. “This will save lives,” said Terri Meyer, advocacy officer for The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind. “We didn’t just do this for the visually impaired. I can’t tell you how many elderly people in our neighborhood cross this street.” Covington Mayor Denny Bow-

man was on hand to read a proclamation about the audible traffic light and White Cane Safety Day, a day set aside to celebrate the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired as well as the symbol of blindness and tool of independence, the white cane. “I know you worked hard on this. That’s how things happen – when we work together,” Bowman said, adding “the state and the city will continue to work with you.” Meyer said four either blind or legally blind people, including herself, live within a block of the fivelane intersection in the Latonia neighborhood. Council secretary Gerry Slusher also lives near 26th Street and Madison Avenue. “The white cane symbolizes not only the blind, but also independence,” she said. “Without this light I couldn’t go home by myself.”

Members of The Northern Kentucky Council of the Blind released balloons at the corner of 26th Street and Madison Avenue in Covington Oct. 16. The council were there to celebrate the installation of an audible traffic light, which makes it easier and safer for the blind and visually impaired to cross the five-lane road. Covington residents and council members Terri Meyer, Gerry Slusher and Birchell Slusher have worked hard over the last three years advocating for the stoplight’s installation.

Taylor Mill takes compensating rate By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Taylor Mill City Commission voted to take the compensating rate on property taxes for the 2009-2010 fiscal year 4-1 at a special meeting Oct. 19. A compensating rate generates the same amount of funding a city had the year before. Taylor Mill residents will pay $270 per $100,000 of assessed property, $21 more than the 0809 rate. Commission had originally intended to take the 4 percent allowed by the state over the com-

pensating rate, but instead let the first reading fail after residents voiced opposition at raising taxes during a down economy at the Oct. 14 regular meeting. If the city had passed the compensating rate plus 4 percent, residents would have paid $31 more than last year. “We sympathize with the economic times,” said Mayor Mark Kreimborg. “Most years we would have taken the 4 percent. This year we took the compensating rate just to make sure we had the same amount of money to cover our expenses.” Commissioner Dan Bell was the

dissenting vote on the property taxes, saying he had made a commitment to his constituents not to raise taxes at all because of hard times many people are facing. “I go by what the people in my area ask me to do,” he said. “In these economic times I felt we needed to hold the line.” However, Commissioner Roger Reis said he was listening to the residents by taking the compensating rate. “I feel after the last city meeting the residents did understand why we’re going with the compensating rate,” he said, citing the rising “cost of living” and the cost

of “running a business.” The city will lose $40,000 of revenue by choosing only to take the compensating rate on property taxes. City Administrator Jill Bailey said she and other department heads will be “very vigilant about the budget” to make up for the lost funds. At this time Bailey isn’t sure where the money will come from, but said she was “optimistic” that it will come from “opportunities to hold the line in the future.” Bailey estimates she will know more about the state of the budget mid-fiscal year, around January.

Experience Covington in a new way with tours By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Learn about Covington from the people who know it best. The city of Covington and the Center for Great Neighborhoods have developed Experience Covington: six mp3-downloadable walking tours focusing on the history of Kenton County’s largest city. Over 48 long-time residents, volunteers and community leaders were interviewed to add their personal story to landmarks such as the Behringer-Crawford Museum, the Garden of Hope, the Roebling Suspension Bridge and even the Anchor Grill. The Kenton County Historical Society also shared their knowledge of many spots on the tours. “It’s Covington residents telling people about their city,” said Jean St. John, director of community arts

initiatives for the Center for Great Neighborhoods. The six Experience Covington tours will be available for download at the Covington branch of the Kenton County Public library by the end of this month, St. John said. Playaways will also be available for checkout from the library for individuals without mp3 players. The tours were made possible by a Preserve America federal grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service in 2007. “It’s a really neat program in that it’s supposed to be self-guided so they can experience Covington on their own by giving them all the tools to do that,” said David Grome, creative director of Millimeter Creative, Inc., a Cincinnati company that designed the program’s logo, Web site and kiosk. “People are

Remke’s teams up with local charities By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

October finds many stores full of Halloween decorations, filled with orange pumpkins, white ghosts and green goblins. But Remke Markets are adding a new color this year...pink. To help promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the local Remke’s stores are lending their support to two local breast cancer awareness charities in I Have Wings and Check Your Genes. The stores are offering pink reusable grocery bags to shoppers, as well as donating 10 cents from every purchase toward the two charities. Customers also have the option at the checkout of donating $1 to the charities. “We wanted to get involved on the local level with some causes that people know, and these are two of the best,” explained Judy Von Handorf, the director of marketing for Remke’s. “Both of these foundations do tremendous work and touch so many people, and we’re honored to be a part

Chambers, a breast cancer survivor, started I Have Wings in 2002, while Romer, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2001, started Check Your Genes with her brother in 2007 after learning of a link between ovarian cancer and breast cancer, with her family having had a history of breast cancer. Check Your Genes works to promote the importance

of genetic testing for families who have a history of cancer, while I Have Wings looks to provide emotional and financial support to breast cancer survivors and patients through a variety of programs. “Both of these ladies are so strong with what they have been through and what they do, so it’s great to work with them,” she said. “We certainly know that whatever money we can raise is going toward a great cause.” Romer and Chambers have both been featured in

a Remke’s commercial airing locally, and signs promoting both foundations can be found throughout all of the local Remke’s stores. “It’s really exciting for us to have their support,” said Romer. “The more we can get our message out there, the more people we can help.” Chambers agreed. “We’re thrilled to have Remke’s supporting us through this,” she said.

Christian school adding on cafeteria, classrooms By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

The 36-year-old Calvary Christian School in Covington will soon add three classrooms, enlarge another and double the size of the cafeteria. Construction is set for November for the 6,600square-foot addition with completion by the end of this school year. The school has more than 400 students pre-school through grade 12. The current cafeteria will become three classrooms while the $750,000 expansion will enlarge another classroom and build a new cafeteria double the size of the current one, said Administrator Donald James. Shortage of space had forced administration to use four modular classrooms with 85 to 100 students behind the school for the last 10 years. While the classrooms were outfitted with everything a classroom inside the main building would have, they were still inconvenient for students and teachers in hot and cold weather, James said. “They loved coming back inside the main facility – teachers and students,” he said. “The modulars were not a great distance away, but when that door opened in the dead of winter you got the gust of winter right into the room.” The school also had to have multiple lunchtimes, some of which ran as late as 1:05 p.m. “It will let students eat at a more appropriate time to better students in the classroom,” James said of the new cafeteria. Currently about 150 students can sit comfortably in the cafeteria. When con-

School’s warm clothing drive ends Oct. 28

By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

St. Joseph School has helped keep people warm for the past 17 winters. Sharon Serey’s fourth grade class holds a Warm Clothing Collection in October and collects a significant amount of hats, coats, gloves and even sleeping bags to donate to local charities each year. This year’s donations will be given to St. Vincent de Paul as part of its eighth annual 5 Cares Coat Drive as well as the River Ridge Elementary Family Resource Center. Serey, also a religion teacher, talks with her students about the importance of philanthropy before the start of the drive. “It is part of our Christian heritage to participate in sharing with those less fortunate,” she said. Students are asked to bring unneeded warm clothing items from home. If nothing can be donated, she asks students to earn a dollar or two, which she uses to purchase a

pair of gloves for the drive. There is no pizza party or other kind of incentive for the students, said Principal Cathy Stover. “There’s no kind of reward for them,” she said. “Just that good inner feeling,” Serey added. In addition to the fourth grade students, the rest of the school, parish and even the outside community are invited to donate warm clothing. “I think people understand there is a need to share with those who have less that we do,” Serey said. Fourth-grader Lauren Krausen donated two bags full of clothing to the drive. “I feel pretty good because it’s nice to help other people in need that can’t afford to pay for clothes,” she said. Warm clothing will be accepted at the school until Oct. 28. To donate warm clothing to the Warm Clothing Collection, call 578-2742 or stop by St. Joseph School at 2474 Lorraine Court.

Kleymeyer was first exposed to acting when he studied Shakespeare in elementary school. “We started studying Shakespeare and doing scenes from it, and I was like ‘This is pretty cool,’” he said. Since the fourth grade Kleymeyer has acted in several plays and musicals in his school and with the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music Preparatory Department. Kleymeyer has had parts in “Romeo and Juliet,” “The Impor-

else and become them,” Kleymeyer said. Hundreds of years later Shakespeare’s writings are still “so real,” Kleymeyer said. “Shakespeare really knew people and he knew what goes on in their minds and what they’re thinking – it’s really cool,” he said. Eventually Kleymeyer hopes to expand his experience with directing as well as acting. “I read plays for fun and I can see how I would want it to go,” he said. For now he’s looking forward to learning from Shakespearean actors and performing in a play with them in March. “I really want to become a better actor and bring that back here to make our shows better,” he said. Kleymeyer’s teacher Mandy Volpenhein said Shakespeare can show students “what it is to be human in all its glory and its faults. Groundlings will make Ben more in touch with his abilities and expose him to working with people outside of high school.”

United Way sets N.

The next weeks will be challenging, but each of us must rally behind this effort and support essential services that help make

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

Reitzes said. “And really, we can’t accept any less if we want to accomplish what the community needs in Northern Kentucky. United Way supports so many critical services, and I’m calling on everyone in our region to evaluate what kind of commitment they can make to help those with needs greater than our own.” If you would like to make a personal donation to United Way but aren’t part of a workplace campaign, please visit www.wecanliveunited.org.

Avoid common student financial aid mistakes

When it comes to finding ways to pay for college, many parents and students may end up paying more than necessary because they didn’t avoid some common mistakes. Follow these tips from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) to make sure you get all the help you need. Believe it or not, many students miss out on money for college simply because they don’t apply for it. Make sure you apply for every scholarship you can, because scholarships are free money you don’t have

to pay back. And even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for federal student aid programs, you should still submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as FAFSA. Many states and colleges use the information from the FAFSA to determine if you’re eligible for other aid programs, so not filing may hurt your chances of getting more free money for college. Another common mistake is waiting until the last minute to apply for financial aid. Some programs have deadlines, while others have limited funds. If you wait too late, you may miss out. When you are accepted by a college, you’ll get a financial aid package. Don’t accept it without looking at it. If you’ve received offers from more than one school, compare the offers to see which one is the best deal. And remember that you may be able to negotiate a better package.

If you’re going to need loans to help pay for college, be a good consumer. Not all lenders offer the same rates and benefits. Pay close attention to what lenders call the back-end benefits, the interest rate and principal reductions offered when you begin to repay the loan. That goes for both federal student loans and private loans. Finally, remember that students are required to pay a larger percentage of their income and savings than parents are. The less money students have in their name, the better their chances of getting more financial aid. To learn how to plan and prepare for higher education and to access the FAFSA, go to www.GoHigherKY.org.

Pioneers clinch district, face Campbell next

By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

The Simon Kenton Pioneers travel to face Campbell County on Friday, Oct. 23 for a chance to run the table in district play. The Pioneers have already clinched the program’s first district football title, thanks to a 63-21 victory over Boone County on Friday, Oct. 16. Simon Kenton is now 71 overall, 4-0 in Class 6A district play, and has not lost to a northern Kentucky opponent this season. “The kids put our goals together in the preseason and this was one we thought we could accomplish,” said Pioneers head coach Jeff Marksberry of the district title. “It’s a huge accomplishment and it punctuates what we’ve been able to do here the last couple years.” The Pioneers knew what was on the line and came out hungry against Boone County. The offensive attack was relentless, piling up 57 points in the first half. Miles Simpson set the tone on the Pioneers’ first play from scrimmage, sprinting 76 yards for the first of his five touchdown runs. His big-play ability has been a nightmare for opposing defenses all season. Simpson added touchdown runs of 92 and 75 yards later in the game. The 92-yard run was his longest of the season. “He is a special player, in my opinion the best player in the state,” said Marksberry of his senior tailback. “He continues to get better each week.” The offense has averaged over 49 points per game this season, 57 per game in four district contests. Simpson has rushed for more than 200 yards in each of the four district games. A lot of credit goes to the Simon Kenton offensive line for opening up holes for the shifty back to dash through to daylight. “Our offensive line has

Defenses have had an even tougher time defending Simpson now that junior quarterback C h a d Lawrence has established himself as a r u s h i n g threat. Lawrence rushed for 103 yards and two scores and passed for 94 yards in the win over Boone County. “Having another guy that is a threat to score every time he touches the ball is a huge boost to our offense,” said Marksberry. The defense has done its part to complement the high-octane offense. The Pioneers held Boone County running backs Charles Quainoo and Jordan Oppenheimer to a combined 100 yards rushing, well

below their season average. The Simon Kenton starters will be well rested entering the Campbell County game after sitting out the second half of the Boone County win. “It was great for our backups to get game experience and share in the excitement of the district championship game,” said Marksberry. The Pioneers have reached one of their goals, but still have plenty of accomplishments left to achieve this season. A return trip to the Class 6A championship game is near the top of their list. If they can continue to improve each week, the Pioneers may bring the state title back to northern Kentucky. As well as they have played lately, there is still room for improvement. “We have yet to play a perfect game,” said Marks-

berry. “We are going to work to eliminate mistakes as much as possible.” Hard work has paid off so far for the district champion Pioneers. Defeating perennial district power Boone County to clinch the title added to the excitement. “Our kids have worked hard and stayed focused on their goals,” said Marksberry. “They are excited to reach one of those goals and it is even more rewarding that it comes against a program like Boone County.” Beechwood 54, Brossart 7 Beechwood (5-3) blew out Brossart (4-3) to set up a showdown with Bellevue for the Class 1A district title. The Tigers travel to Bellevue on Friday, Oct. 23. Both teams are 4-0 in district play entering the final district game of the season. The Tigers have won four straight, all district games, and have allowed a total of 16 points in the four wins. Quarterback Matt Rigdon and running back Joe Colosimo each rushed for 159 yards. Rigdon ran for three touchdowns and Colosimo rushed for two scores. Brossart hosts Dayton on Oct. 23. Holmes 20, Scott 9 The Bulldogs bounced back from their first loss of the season to improve to 7-1.

Highlands 36, Covington Catholic 7 Austin Collinsworth rushed for 229 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries to lead the top-ranked Bluebirds (8-0). He left the game in the third quarter with a thumb injury. The loss snapped the Colonels’ (4-4) fourgame winning streak. They were outgained 511-115 in the loss. The Bluebirds kept the Colonels in the game early by fumbling three times to end drives deep in Cov Cath territory, one of which was returned 91 yards by Troy Timmerman to put the Colonels up 7-0 in the first quarter. Brayden Erpenbeck accounted for nearly all the Colonels’ offense, rushing for 51 yards and passing for 48 yards. John Drennan caught four passes for 91 yards for the Bluebirds.

Undefeated Saints focus on improving By James Weber

Local Saints

jweber@nky.com

They got a taste of postseason glory, now the Thomas More College football team wants to take the next step. After a 5-0 start, the Saints were ranked 21st in the latest Division III poll. Last year, they were 8-2 and won their first Presidents’ Athletic Conference championship. That earned them a trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament, where the Saints lost 44-23 to North Central. “They were the No. 2 team in the country and we were beating them for a quarter and a half,” said senior quarterback Trevor Stellman, a Conner product. “We learned we have to do some little things better.” Added Newport Central Catholic graduate and senior linebacker Brandon Kohrs,

Local prep alumni on the Thomas More football team: Covington Catholic: Greg Dixon, Lee Schatzman, Seth Tepe, Jace Ganshirt, Brian Hennessey. Dixie Heights: Cody Godsey. “We got satisfied because we won the conference. We realized you can never be satisfied.” The Saints took that dissatisfaction to the tune of a 5-0 mark. Playing the same schedule in the same order as last year, TMC avenged a 41-14 loss to John Carroll from 2008 with a 14-7 win to open the season and have since beaten three league foes by comfortable margins. “We’ve improved a lot each week,” TMC head coach Jim Hilvert said. “John Carroll was a great

team and that gave us a lot of confidence. We have to keep getting better. We cannot plateau.” The offense has averaged 34 points and 414 yards per game. Stellman, a third-year starter, has 294 rushing yards and 1,027 in the air. He has completed 66 percent of his passes and thrown 12 TD passes to three interceptions. “(5-0) is a great start, but it’s better to be undefeated in the end,” Stellman said. Senior veteran tailback Cordario “Monty” Collier has 293 rushing yards and Kendall Owens (Cincinnati La Salle) has 184. Stellman has not relied on just one receiver, as when he’s not throwing to his backs wideouts Chris Farley, Nick Olthaus (Elder), Austin Studer (Campbell County) and

Mercier Doucette (Boone County) have taken turns having big games. “We have a lot of guys who can hurt you,” Hilvert said. “It can be two or three different guys every week.” The defense is led by senior linebacker Brad Steinmetz, a two-time AllAmerican and the team’s leading tackler this year. Kohrs is the third-leading tackler and recently named a semifinalist for the Campbell Trophy, a award that honors off-field success as well as football. He’s focused on helping the team. “(5-0) is a great start, but in this conference, you

lose one or two games and you lose everything you’ve worked for. You have to take it one game at a time.” “We play very fast and very physical on defense,” Hilvert said. “We have improved a great deal from last year.” Hilvert said his seniors have done a great job of leading this season, including Stellman, who’s going to end up high on several career passing lists at the school. “I want to finish strong and keep the program going,” he said. “This is a dream come true to play college football and be on a successful team.”

Brooke Willis, Piner Elementary fifth-grader, raised $170 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk on Sept. 19th. Brooke said, “My very best friend has diabetes. I love to raise money to help JDRF find a cure. Every morning before school for one and a half weeks, I sold bracelets. I am very proud of how the students at my school supported me. I know that there are children all over the world that have diabetes. I hope that this money really helps find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes!"

Removing plant debris a plus for disease control Question: Most of my vegetable garden has stopped producing. My tomatoes and squash died from some disease. I’ve already picked all my peppers. Frost has damaged some of the plants. Should I go ahead and just till up the garden now, or wait until spring? How much “fall cleanup” is needed? Answer: You can reduce the risk of some common problems next year by getting rid of leftover plant debris in vegetable, flower and fruit gardening areas this fall. Several disease-causing fungi and bacteria spend the winter on plant debris, and can cause diseases the following growing season. Proper garden sanitation can combat such diseases as early

CHATROOM

blight, mildews, gray mold fungus and various root rot and wilt problems. To combat d i s e a s e s , remove all plants, except Mike Klahr winter vegetaCommunity bles or cover crops, from the Recorder garden. It is columnist e s p e c i a l l y important to completely clean out and destroy all diseased plants in vegetable gardens and fruit plantings. Carefully dig up and remove decomposing roots to keep them from releasing disease-causing microbes into the soil. Also,

remove spent blooms and foliage from flower gardens and all the shrunken, dried up fruits (called “mummies”) on or around trees and grapevines. Garden debris is a wonderful addition to a compost pile. A good pile will heat up and completely decompose the remains in a few years. This process will destroy most disease-causing organisms. However, many home compost piles do not heat up enough for this to happen. If sufficient heat development does not occur in your composting process, you should dispose of severely diseased plants, especially those infected with root knot nematode or Fusarium and Verticillium wilt diseases. Be sure to put these infected plants where

they cannot be recycled into the garden. Gardeners who decide not to completely remove old plants should till gardening areas to break dead plant materials into smaller pieces and then work them into the soil. Plant debris decomposes more rapidly when buried than when left on the soil surface. This reduces populations of diseasecausing organisms that could cause problems next year. Planting a cover crop like winter wheat or rye to maintain and rejuvenate the soil is another way to get your vegetable garden off to a good start next year. A cover crop will help prevent erosion of enriched topsoil, keep rains from leaching minerals from

the soil, prevent compaction and stop growth of weeds that can serve as overwintering sites for insects and diseases. A cover crop also will add organic matter, both from its roots and when tilled into the garden soil. Successfully growing a cover crop requires proper crop selection, correct timing and good management techniques. You will reap the benefits of cover crops in future vegetable harvests. For more information, free garden literature and free soil testing, contact your local County Extension Service Office, or visit the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture home page at www.ca.uky.edu. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

Next question

Last week’s question

Should the federal government’s incentive program for new home buyers be extended? Why or why not? “I think so. It could revitalize our economy by moving the inventory of unsold homes. It is a boost to the construction industry and will put more unemployed builders back to work. I have a friend who is a plasterer by trade and has only had four new homes to work on compared to the 25 or 30 he normally does in a year.” Duke “Before we start random programs to help ‘select’ persons buy a new home or stay in their home, we need to take a step back and look at what incentives would really start the economy

There are not enough people with jobs; therefore not enough homes can be purchased to make a substantial impact on the economy. Maybe we should look at keeping jobs in the U.S. and stop sending jobs to Mexico, Guatamala, Honduras, China, etc. ... keeping jobs here would spike the economy and we would not need to spend money to make money!” Florence “Yes!

Halloween safety tips to make the holiday a treat With Halloween approaching and thousands of kids getting ready to hit the streets in search of loads of candy and other treats, an article on some Halloween safety tips might be helpful. With what seems to be an ever increasing number of people bent on evil in this world today, which may include some child sexual offenders or other type criminals, certain basic safety precautions should be taken. Before sending children out on Halloween night, parents should consider the below listed precautions along with any other precautions you may feel are appropriate for your particular situation.

• Parents should always accompany younger children for traffic and other safety reasons. • Make sure older children James A. trick or treat Daley with friends and sure you Community make know where all Recorder they will be guest going at columnist approximately what times. If one of your children turns up missing, it would be very helpful to know just where they had

been. • Tell children only to stop at the front entrances to lighted houses. Tell the kids not to go around to any unlighted side or rear entrances to homes. • Feed your children a meal before they go out and encourage them to not eat treats until they get home. If they are going to eat treats while out trick or treating, tell them to make sure they only eat unopened candies and other treats that are in original wrappers. • When the treats are brought back home, check them in a well lighted place for any indications of tampering or contamination. • Strongly emphasize traffic

safety with the children. The children should wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes so they can be easily seen by motorists. It would also be helpful to keep costumes short to prevent trips and falls. • Consider using makeup instead of masks. Masks can obstruct a child’s vision and could prevent them from seeing an oncoming car or suspicious person. • Trick or treaters should always be in groups so they aren’t a tempting target for criminals. There’s a lot of truth to the old saying that there is security in numbers. • Make sure children know not

to enter strangers’ houses or cars regardless of what may sound like good reason to enter the house or car. Almost every year we hear stories of children hit by cars at Halloween and/or candy and treats contaminated with needles or other items. Observing the above safety precautions could prevent injury or disaster. If you find any contaminated treats or observe any other type of potentially criminal conduct, please contact your local police department so that criminal charges can be pursued if appropriate. James A. Daley is the Campbell County Attorney.

Typically by mid-October, Tammy Simpson is just getting geared up for another winter season with Scarf It Up, the local charity she runs that provides handmade scarves, hats and gloves to less fortunate people. But this year, thanks to some generous donations, she’s already in midseason form. “We’ve never had this many donations at this point in the year before,” said the Crestview Hills resident, sifting through boxes of hats and gloves in her garage. “It’s fantastic to know that we’ve got so many people supporting us, and we think we’re going to be able to do more than ever because of that.” Simpson began running Scarf It Up in 2006, taking over for a colleague and expanding the program to include all people, not just children. Working with a variety of service agencies and shelters throughout Northern Kentucky, she said the organization distributed over 4,000 items last year, and hope to top 5,000 this year. “I’ve been very blessed in my life, and I wanted to do something to give back,” said Simpson, explaining why she became involved. “Some of the stories we hear while we’re out are just heart-breaking, but that’s why we’re doing this - to help people who need it.” Simpson regularly spends most of the year speaking at various schools, churches and community groups

Scarf It Up

Scarf It Up seeks to provide handmade scarves, as well as hats and gloves to less fortunate residents of Northern Kentucky. Donation barrels will be set up at the Kenton County Public Library, Edgewood city building, Knitwits Contemporary Yarn Shop, Lakeside Christian Church and Burlington Library, among other places. Donations of materials, such as yarn or fleece, are also welcome. Scarf It up also offers various knitting courses for residents to learn how to make scarves. For more information, visit www.scarfitup.org or www.shouldertoshoulderinc.org. about the mission of Scarf It Up, before focusing on collecting, sorting and donating items in the winter months. But this year, even with collection barrels not set to hit the streets until early November, she’s already got more than a dozen boxes full of items, with more coming in every day. She has already received donations from the Kenton County Rotary Club and US Bank, as well as some of the proceeds from the Silverlake Splash and Dash event. “It’s been amazing to see how this has grown every year,” she said. “We just want to keep spreading word throughout the community and get as many people supporting this as we can.” Janet Haney, the owner of Knitwits Contemporary Yarn Shop in Crescent Springs, said getting involved with

Scarf It Up was an easy decision for them. Knitwits helped Scarf It Up sponsor their kick-off event in September, and they also serve as a collection point for donated handmade scarves. “We all obviously love to knit over here, and to be able to work with such a great cause is something we’re glad to do,” she said. “Tammy does an incredible job, and she really energizes everybody to get on board with this.” For her part, Simpson is quick to credit her staff of volunteers, who help to sort items, empty collection barrels, pass out items at shelters, teach knitting classes and spread word about the organization to the community. Scarf It Up offers year-round knitting classes at the Erlanger and Durr Branches of the Kenton County Public Library, as well a special course at Thomas More College for adults that started this fall. She also recently helped Scarf It Up to become part of Shoulder To Shoulder, another local foundation that works year-round to help out lowincome families. “There’s a lot of people who come together to make this work,” she said. “It’s amazing to see how many lives we can touch, and we just want to keep going.” For more information about Scarf It Up, including details about knitting classes and making donations, visit www.scarfitup.org or www.shouldertoshoulderinc.org.

You and I are yearning for someone who genuinely â&#x20AC;&#x153;resonatesâ&#x20AC;? with us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who will understand us and recognize how we may feel in the circumstances of life.

the first step is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;know yourselfâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as the early Greeks were wise enough to realize. We must honestly analyze our own behavior and realistically examine our words, actions and attitudes. Are we aware of our choice of words or implied impressions, and the result they have on others? Can we detect our possessive, arrogant or insulting manner of acting or speaking? Step two. We need to become students of human nature.

Too often we are our own worst enemy. We badly want or need something, yet behave in such a way that we diminish our chances of getting it. For example: weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lonely and look for a friend or someone to love us. And voila, we meet a likeable person who shows some interest in us. And what is our reaction? We desperately cling to them, phone or text message them 10 times a day, or express jealousy if they have other friends. Unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re equally obtuse, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon leave. We drive them away by giving them reason to fear suffocation, or that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose themselves in the black hole of our needs. On the other hand, we might close the door by exhibiting the opposite behavior.

Popcorn is the all-ages snack for the season

Aunt Lil’s baked caramel corn

From friend Carolyn Grieme, a Northern Kentucky reader who believes, like I do, that cooking with family from heirloom recipes is not only satisfying, but preserves personal history, as well. Here’s what she told me about this recipe: “This is

handed d o w n from my Aunt Lil. We don’t know for sure, but we believe she may Rita have gotHeikenfeld ten the r e c i p e Rita s kitchen from one of her fellow church members. “She was very involved for many years in various ways at her church, St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, Barnsburg (Cincinnati). Whenever we invited family over for holiday dinners or just a common get together, Aunt Lil would always come with gifts. “Often she would bring large bags of this baked caramel corn, which we all loved. Other times, she would bring plants that she had dug out of her yard for us to transplant to our own yards – she loved gardening as well.” 2 sticks butter or margarine

2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 ⁄2 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 24 cups popped corn (about 2-3 bags microwave popped or 1 cup unpopped)

Boil butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly, about five minutes. Remove from heat, stir in baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour mixture over popped corn and mix well. Pour into shallow pans - Carolyn uses two or three 9-by-13-inch pans. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Cool completely, and break apart. Store in tight containers.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen:

• Add a couple cups nuts to the corn to make a Cracker Jack like treat. • Spray the bowl, spoon, etc. for easy mixing.

Marshmallow popcorn balls or squares

I’ll be making these with the grandkids this week. You can make all sorts of shapes – like ghosts, tombstones, etc. and decorate with tiny candies. You can also put these on sticks, make tiny balls for a party, etc. 1 ⁄2 cup popcorn, popped or 1 bag microwave popcorn, popped (11-12 cups popped corn) 5-6 cups mini marshmallows (about a 10 oz bag) 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla l cup mini M&M type candies (optional) Melt marshmallows and butter over low heat. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla and blend. Combine candies with popcorn in a bowl sprayed with vegetable spray, and pour marshmallow mixture over. Mix well with sprayed spatula and spoon and form into balls with sprayed hands or pour into sprayed 9-by-13-inch pan (when chilled, cut into squares).

inches or so balls. Put on sprayed baking sheet. Press 1 pimiento-stuffed olive into the center of each ball, pressing so it will stick. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Did you know popcorn is good for you?

You can form the balls ahead minus the olives and refrigerate.

It’s a whole grain with 4 grams of fiber per serving. Eating popcorn may curb your appetite. Folks who ate 1 cup of fat-free popcorn half an hour before a meal ate less than folks who snacked on an equal amount of potato chips. Popcorn has more dietary fiber and antioxidants than any other snack food. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

When we were kids, Mom had a certain aluminum saucepan that she popped corn in. I remember the lid was a bit battered so that when the popcorn started popping, some would pop all the way to the ceiling. Fun! Now making popcorn is a lot easier with non-stick pans or microwave bags. Popcorn and Halloween are synonymous. It’s the one celebration that transcends ages when it comes to the kinds of food served – a time to go back being a kid again, enjoying monster eyes and popcorn balls and telling ghoulish ghost stories.

the risk of breast cancer and Curves wants to take this time to encourage the women of Northern Kentucky to learn more about the impact that wellness has on preventing cancer. A healthy diet, regular exercise, monthly breast self-exams and yearly mammograms together are essential in breast cancer prevention. Pam Westerman, owner of the Curves locations in Florence and Independence says, “A lot

of women know about breast cancer prevention, but don’t act on it. I like to think of it as that ignored sticky-note reminder on the bathroom mirror. At Curves, we want to put action to that sticky note.” Curves locations have available the Liv-Aid, a self breast exam device that helps to better detect irregularities. Also, several locations across Northern Kentucky are hosting a “Girls Get Together” event. Those

attending the Girls Get Together Party will participate in a casual time packed with valuable conversation, information and encouragement. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in a fund raiser to support American Cancer Society and will also have the chance to win door prizes and merchandise. “American Cancer Society has always been near to our hearts,” Westerman said. “This is a fund raiser that touches so many of our

ladies.” Members and non-members alike are invited to participate in the Girls Get Together Party. Those wishing to become a member will receive a special discount in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. Then, from Oct. 19 through Oct. 24, the participating Curves locations will offer a $0 service fee for those who provide proof of either a recent mammogram or a donation to American Cancer Society .

According to Westerman, “The Curves of Northern Kentucky are committed to helping the women of our community live healthy and strong lives and our emphasis on breast cancer awareness is just one way that we can help encourage them.” For information on the Girls Get Together Party and the one-week-only $0 service fee special, contact a Curves near you, call 1800-CURVES30 or visit curveskentucky.com.

Kenton library offers homework help, fine assistance The Kenton County Public Library offers several services that can help students of any age - elementary, middle and high school or even college. Many children need to use the Library for research help but try to find ways around it because they have fines on their library card account. Children and teens can read off their fines due to late fees (not lost or unreturned items) and get a fresh start. Children wanting to read off their fines should stop by the children's desk at the Covington, Erlanger or Independence location. The value of reading time for

Fresh Start is 10 cents a minute. For example, for every 15 minutes you read, you can reduce your fines by $1.50. Parents, siblings, and friends can read to young children. “We know people sometimes forget to return items on time, especially children,” says Patti Richards, Children's Services Director. “We don't want them to avoid the Library because of late fees. This gives them the opportunity to get a fresh start and be able to use the resources they need.” Students often get stuck on their homework but they can still get free help, even if the Library is closed.

You can chat live online from the comfort of your home with a reference librarian 24/7 at www.askwhyky.org. The Library's Web site gives patrons free access to over 60 databases. Many of those can be accessed from home with just a Kenton County Public Library card number. Start by visiting www.kentonlibrary.org/databases. Biographies, newspaper articles, encyclopedias and much more can be accesses at that site. Learning Express is also a great resource. Students can take practice tests like fourth grade math, eight grade

reading, the SAT, GRE, GED and much more for free. Students having trouble with their foreign language course can also get free online help. Mango is an online language-learning system that teaches actual conversation skills for 12 different languages. A library card number is needed to use the Library online databases, even when accessing from home. Adults only need a valid ID or a piece of mail with their current address. Children can get a free library card with parent permission.

Salvation Army sees increased need The Salvation Army Community Centers in Northern Kentucky announced that they anticipate increased demand for Christmas assistance this year. The need for key Christmas programs, such as Angel Tree, Adopt-aFamily and Holiday Food Baskets, will likely increase over prior-year levels. This is the result of the sagging local economy, which is driving up the level of unemployment in the area. The Salvation Army operates two Community Centers in Northern Kentucky – one in Covington on Scott Boulevard and another in Newport on W. 10th St. “We are preparing for a particularly busy Christmas season,” said Capt. Heather Holt, commanding officer of the Covington Corps of The Salvation Army. “The Salvation Army has a long tradition of providing toys, gifts,

food and similar forms of assistance at Christmas. This year, more families are out of work or facing increased financial challenges, so they’ll turn to The Salvation Army for help.” “And we want to be ready to help them,” added Capt. Nicole Hostetler, co-commanding officer at the Newport Corps of The Salvation Army. “We rely upon the generosity of those who help us, at Christmas and throughout the year. There are so many ways that people can help. Of course, donations are always important, and we welcome volunteers to ring bells at our familiar red kettles, people to step forward to sponsor our Adopt-a-Family participants, and others that can donate food items for our traditional Holiday Gift Baskets.” Those seeking Christmas assistance must register at their local Salvation Army Community Center.

tion Army in Covington will accept registrations Oct. 27-29, and Nov. 1620. The Newport Corps registration dates are Oct. 28-29, and Nov. 16-20. Registrants must bring proof of income and expense for their household, birth certificates for all applicable children, Social Security cards for all household members, proof of address, clothing sizes for all participating children, and a photo ID. Those wishing to support The Salvation Army in Northern Kentucky with any of their Christmas programs should contact their local Community Center. For Covington, contact Capt. Heather Holt at 859-261-0835. For Newport, contact Capt. Nicole Hostetler at 859-431-1063. Contributions and volunteer support is greatly appreciated.

Wash away the bugs that bug you in flu season single most important thing we can do to prevent the spread of infectious disease,” said Dr. Beverly Connelly, director of Cincinnati Childrens’ Infection Control Program. “When hands are visibly soiled, washing with soap and water is preferred,” Dr. Connelly continued. “Alcohol gel products do a better job at germ killing when hands are visibly clean.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

gives these specific steps to achieve a thorough wash: • Place your hands together under warm water • With soap, rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds • Wash your hands thoroughly, including wrists, palms, back of hands, in between fingers and under the fingernails • Rinse the soap from your hands • Dry your hands completely with a clean towel

• Dr. Connelly adds: Don’t re-contaminate your just clean hands as you turn off the faucet! “Kids are taught to sing ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ and the ‘ABC Song’ to allow enough time for hand washing,” says Dr. Connelly. “Singing could be good for adults too.”

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…
