Established two years ago, Kenton County’s chapter of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for neglected or abused children is off to a “fantastic start,” said Executive Director Allison Rapp. The organization, which was named the best CASA startup of 2009 by the national chapter, currently serves 64 children and employs 24 active volunteers with another 12 just sworn in. “It really takes a labor of love for these volunteers,” Rapp said, explaining volunteers go through 40 hours of training in order to help children who are victims of neglect or abuse. Family Court judges Christopher Mehling and Lisa Bushelman gave the Kenton County CASA its start when the Kenton County Family Court began two years ago, Mehling said. Now the organization is up and running, it is no longer financially dependent on the court. From July 2008 to June 2009, Mehling said Kenton County had 2,792 reported cases of child abuse or neglect, which involved 3,589 children. The second highest in Northern Kentucky during that period was Campbell County with 807, Mehling said. “We’ve got a problem in the county and with the economy in the shape it’s in and the unemployment rate up so high, it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse,” Mehling said.

The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for children in Kenton County give abused or neglected children a voice in the court system. Currently CASA has 36 volunteers who give as much as eight hours a week to helping children. On Oct. 26, several new volunteers were sworn in by Family Court Judge Chris Mehling who, along with Family Court Judge Lisa Bushelman, gave the Kenton County CASA its start. Left to right: Program Coordinator Lisa Edwards, volunteers Stacy Meyers, Evelyn Laux and Sally Pfetzer, Judge Mehling and volunteers Tom Pfetzer, Karen Wachs, Jenny White and Deborah Pelfrey.
“The sole goal is it advocate for the children and really try to find out what is best for the child in his or her life.” Allison Rapp CASA executive director CASA and its volunteers provide him and Judge Bushelman with a “better idea of what to do and a better road map” to help improve children’s lives, Mehling said.
CASA’s volunteers accomplish this by interviewing everyone in contact with the child to formulate a recommendation of action for the family court judges. “The sole goal is it advocate for the children and really try to find out what is best for the child in his or her life,” Rapp explained. That could mean therapy for the child and parents or a removal from the parents to a foster or adoptive family, Rapp said. A volunteer could spend as many as eight hours a week visiting children, Rapp said. “These are innocent victims,” she said. “The parents have all kinds of issues and the kids get
ignored or abused. I think the gratification for the volunteers is the knowledge they have definitely affected this child’s life for the better.” Kenton County CASA is currently located in offices provided by the Kenton County Fiscal Court in the county building. While the organization is privately funded, it has also received funding from the Kenton County Fiscal Court, the national CASA, the Butler Foundation and the Humanitarian League.

Northern Kentucky Action addressed the Kenton County Fiscal Court Tuesday Oct. 27 to ask for the adoption of a county-wide smoking ban. The fiscal court has stated many times in the past that there are enough votes to pass a ban, but the court has agreed to wait to take action until Campbell and Boone counties can do the same. Mainstrasse resident Cara Stewart told the fiscal court she was “dumbfounded” because the Eastern Kentucky town of Prestonsburg in her home county, Floyd, is now smoke free. “They’re more progressive than Northern Kentucky?” she asked. “It almost seems impossible, but that’s what happened and it’s happening more and more around the state.” Stewart said Kenton County needs to step up and adopt a smoking ban. “I believe we have your support for the most part. Be the leaders you are and do it. That’s what I’m hoping for,” she said.

Members of Northern Kentucky Action addressed the Kenton County Fiscal Court at their regular meeting Tuesday Oct. 27. Representatives asked the court, which has said it has the votes to pass a smoking ban, why they were waiting to take action on the ban. Northern Kentucky Action Director Linda Vogelpohl said passing a smoking ban is the right thing to do. “Every day they wait more people are affected by the hazards of secondhand smoke,” she said.
“We really want to know what they’re waiting for.” Judge-Executive Ralph Drees told the 20 or so Northern Kentucky Action members that he “understands” what they want, but the county has agreed to wait
for Boone and Campbell counties. “Hopefully someday we can get this accomplished,” Drees said, adding he doesn’t see anything happening until after next May’s primary. Drees said next time the three judge executives meet he will discuss the smoking ban again, but he doesn’t want Kenton County to “turn its back” on Boone and Campbell. “Personally, I like to keep my word,” he said before acknowledging “We probably ought to do something and be done with it.”

Independence family opened heart, home By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
The Borden family of Independence felt a calling last October to adopt three Ukrainian children. One year later, the children have become part of the family. “We got to know them and God opened our hearts up to the idea of adopting them,” said father David Borden. Borden and his wife Jenny, who have been married 14 years, decided to adopt after hosting Maks, 11, and Alona, 9, last summer as part of a foreign hosting program. When the Bordens found out the children had a younger sister, Natasha, now 7, they decided to adopt all three. “Once we said ‘Yes, we’ll do this,” everything opened up,” Jenny said. “It’s very expensive and we didn’t have that, so we sent out a

David and Jenny Borden recently adopted three young children from the Ukraine, siblings Maks, Alona and Natasha. The three children joined the Bordens and their other three children about six months ago. The Bordens feel they were called by God to adopt.

first week.” Thanks to the generosity of the community, the Bordens brought Maks, Alona and Natasha home six months ago. The children, who knew very little English, are adapting well and coming along beautifully, Jenny said, in part due to the couple’s three birth children: Keely, 14, Isabelle, 6 and Max, 9, who have made sure the family’s newest additions are comfortable and taken care of, the Bordens said. “That’s the neat thing – if I feel overwhelmed they’ve all kind of stepped in and been able to enjoy them and show them love,” Jenny said. A shared value system and opening of hearts has made it easier for their chil-
dren to accept the change, they said. “We prayed about the whole thing as a family and spent a lot of time talking about what the benefits and the struggles might be,” David said. And although becoming a cohesive family will take more time, Jenny said she sees “glimpses” of what the Borden family will be in the future. “We went to a gospel concert at church. We went in and there’s a moment when I look down and see Isabelle and Alona are drawing together and later Natasha starts playing a game in the car and we’re laughing ¬– those kind of moments are just sweet,” Jenny said. “We’re a family. This is all coming together and that’s beautiful.”

Residents in Fort Wright’s Fort Wright Trace subdivision are petitioning the city to take responsibility for their streets. Currently street maintenance and snow removal are done by the subdivision’s residents because the streets, when built in 1991, were never dedicated to public use. “Even in this housing crisis, homes in Fort Wright Trace have maintained their values,” said District Judge and resident Ann Ruttle at the caucus meeting Oct. 21. “As taxpayers we really see no legitimate reason Fort Wright Trace should not

Residents who live in the Fort Wright Trace subdivision in Fort Wright are petitioning the city to take over ownership of the community’s four streets. Currently, home owner’s association fees pay for snow removal and other street maintenance needs. receive the full realm of city services.” Resident Bob Ruberg agreed. “We’re paying the same taxes as everyone else in the city. We don’t get any
rebate for maintaining our own roads,” he said. The four streets in Fort Wright Trace serve 66 town homes and 84 rental units. Homeowners said they pay about $10,000 to $15,000
a year maintaining their streets. Fort Wright city officials said there would have to be a legal proceedings as well as work to bring these streets up to the current subdivision standard. “The law recognizes the streets in Fort Wright Trace to be similar to my driveway. The rest of the people in Fort Wright can’t have their driveways cleaned by a plow as much as I’d like to have it done,” explained Mayor Joe Nienaber. The city will have to confirm the quality and composition of the pavement and compare that to current standards as well as evaluate the curb construction and asphalt surface of the roads before beginning the
acceptance process, said City Engineer Mark Brueggemann. “If you’re going to take this over you’re going to want to know what you have,” he said, adding “at a minimum I would expect that you’re looking at some resurfacing or something more than crack sealing.” Nienaber told residents the city will take a few months to find out the cost of assessing the streets and look at the issue from a legal standpoint. “It’s not going to happen overnight. I think we’ve got a couple months of research to get our arms around what we’ll be dealing with and if we can do anything,” he said.
Eastern Avenue to get sidewalk By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Elsmere city engineer Ray Erpenbeck said that a project to put sidewalks on the west side of Eastern Avenue is expected to begin next spring. Erpenbeck said the project will likely go to bid in January, and it should be entirely completed by the end of next summer. The five-feet wide sidewalk will run the entire length of the street, and will attach directly to the curb, preserving as much yard and/or driveway space as possible for the residents. “Because of the proximity of some of the houses to the street, we decided to
eliminate the grass strip between the sidewalk and the curb,” explained council member Marty Lenhof. “During our public hearing, the biggest concern the residents had was losing too much of their yard, so that was something we did to alleviate that.” The council debated whether to put a four-feet wide sidewalk in instead of the now standard five-feet sidewalks, but ultimately voted to go with the slightly wider version. “I think a four-foot is adequate, because we’re already going to be taking away some of their yards and some of them won’t have much space left,” said Lenhof. However, several council members felt the four-foot sidewalk could end up being too small. “If we have someone in a wheelchair, or someone
pushing a stroller, that would take up most of a four-foot sidewalk,” said council member Mary Lou Neal. “I don’t think by taking just one foot off the width of the sidewalk, we’re going to be preserving a ton of yard space for someone,” agreed Kama Greene. “I don’t think it will make a huge difference, and since it’s the standard now, I think we should stick with that.” Erpenbeck said the project is expected to cost around $75,000. “The cost difference between a four-foot and a five-foot is pretty minimal, so I think it’s best we go with the standard,” he recommended. A letter is expected to go out to residents on Eastern Avenue soon, explaining the project. For more information, contact the city at 342-7911.

A new financial analysis tool will help cities project the costs and revenues that come along with new development or land use changes. The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) and the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission collaborated to develop the Fiscal Impact Analysis Model, which will be officially launched Monday Nov. 9. Independence was one of 10 communities in Greater Cincinnati and the only city in Kenton County chosen as a pilot city for the model. City officials have been working with OKI for the past year providing financial information such as tax rates, budget data and more. Next Monday city officials will be able to plug in information on new developments to see how they could work in Independence. OKI presented information on the customizable software at the Nov. 2 Independence City Council meeting. “Imagine for just a minute that you’re faced with a rezoning for a development plan. You’re able, as part of your decision-making process, to learn in quantifiable terms how much the new development will bring into your city coffers in the way of tax revenue and how
much will flow back out because of the services you have to provide to that new development,” said NKAPC director Dennis Gordon. Specific tax rates, tax conditions and characteristics for each community can be input into the model, said Larisa Simms of OKI. “It’s not a one size fits all,” she said. “It is customized to reflect those local conditions. It’s not based on regional or national averages. It’s a little bit more accurate than models that might use that type of data.” The model bases revenue and cost estimates for a community on the statistical relationship between land uses and the intensity of their revenue and cost-generating factors, Simms said. “We are currently working with our 10 partnered communities and we’re looking to expand to additional communities,” Simms said. While the model will estimate results to the penny, it shouldn’t be used as the sole deciding factor in a land use issue, Simms said. Instead the model is meant to show the overall positive or negative impact on the community. “We definitely need to use this. It’s very interesting,” said Independence Mayor Chris Moriconi. “It’ll be very interesting to see, on the next development that comes to us, what happens when we plug in some of the numbers and the data.”

Fort Mitchell says good-bye to longtime councilman Ask anyone in Fort Mitchell about Bob Lubrecht, and one word keeps coming up in the conversation...visonary. “He is the reason we are what we are today,� confirmed Bob Zerhusen, the city’s public works director. “He had the vision to look forward and see what we would need, and his knowledge allowed us to expand and develop.� “He was such a forward thinker, and he helped the city grow leaps and bounds,� added Mayor Tom Holocher. “He was an honorable man and he certainly will be missed.� Lubrecht, 76, who served on the Fort Mitchell city council for 35 years, passed away on Oct. 30 after a battle with cancer. In addition to being a councilman, Lubrecht also served as volunteer firefighter for 24 years, eventually becoming the assistant chief, and also served on the city’s public works committee for 35 years, helping transform it from a one-man department into one of the city’s most valued depart-

years, Betty, said her husband never bragged about any of his work, instead feeling it was simply “his duty� to do what he could for the city. She recalled the effort he put in to start the city’s beautification program, including all of the green space and trees along Dixie Highway, as well as the opening of General Ormsby Mitchel Park. “Once he had a vision in his head, he never let it go,� she said with a laugh. “He worked and worked to get that program going, and I think he was always incredibly proud of that.� Betty also recalled how Bob always seemed to find better ways to accomplish things, whether within the city or just around his own home, earning him the nickname “Better Way Bob� from their only daughter. “He always liked to do
things his way, but he never compromised his ethics in doing so,� she said. At the Nov. 2 city council meeting, Holocher and the council members paid tribute to Lubrecht. Councilman Dave Schrand even made his motion to adjourn the meeting “in honor of Bob Lubrecht.� “He put so much time and effort into the city,� said Holocher. “The city has lost a great friend, and our sym-
pathy goes out to his family.� Funeral services were held Nov. 4 following a visitation at Ronald Jones Funeral Home in Ludlow. The family held a private interment for Lubrecht.

A heart for dancing
“It’s been fun, and I think the kids are really enjoying it too. The kids have been great and willing to listen, so it’s worked out perfectly so far.”
By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Like many high school seniors, Mallory Stanek has a pretty full schedule between classes, homework, captaining the dance team and preparing for college. But that still hasn’t stopped her from finding time to do what she really loves....teaching dance. As her senior project, Stanek has been working with students from River Ridge and Caywood Elementary to help prepare them for a December recital at Dixie. She spends Monday and Tuesday afternoons at River Ridge, then heads to Caywood on Wednesdays, teaching students some basic dance moves and positions for about 90 minutes after school. “It definitely keeps me busy, but it’s a lot of fun too,” she said with a big smile. “I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, and it’s really important to me, so it’s not been bad for me at all.” A dancer since she was 4 years old, Stanek really began pursuing the craft after heart surgery at age 9 forced her away from most sports. However, having already fallen in love with dancing by then, she took it all in stride, and in fact, now calls her classes

Dixie Heights senior Mallory Stanek (front) works with a group of River Ridge students during a dance class on Oct. 27. For her senior project, Stanek is putting together a recital with students from Caywood and River Ridge. “Heartbeat Dance,” in a tribute to her ordeal. “I loved dancing anyway, so it wasn’t a huge adjustment for me,” she recalled. “It’s given me some great opportunities.” Having always been involved
in volunteer work and loving working with kids, Stanek entered her senior year knowing exactly what she wanted to do for her senior project. She originally wasn’t sure what the interest would be, but her doubts were soon
squashed when River Ridge alone had close to 40 kids sign up, causing her to split the class into two groups. “It’s been fun, and I think the kids are really enjoying it too,” she said. “The kids have been
great and willing to listen, so it’s worked out perfectly so far.” River Ridge fifth-grader Ashli Atkinson confirmed that the classes have been “really fun”. “She’s a really nice teacher, and she likes to laugh and have fun with us,” she said. “She’s also a really good dancer, and I hope I can learn how to do everything she does.” “We get to play some fun games while we’re learning the different positions, and that’s my favorite part,” added classmate Karena Holthaus. With all different levels of experience and skill in her classes, she said getting the classes ready for the recital is a challenge. However, she adds there’s nothing she’d rather be doing right now. “I’m always thinking about different moves and different choreography we can use-it’s just always on my mind,” she said. “This is what I love doing, and to be able to share it with these kids has been great.” The recital is scheduled for Dec. 17 at Dixie Heights High School.
Eight Kenton schools honored for service By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Kenton County schools know how to contribute to the community. Children Inc. recently recognized eight Kenton County schools as a School of Contribution at the 2009 Northern Kentucky Celebration of Philanthropy. Twenty eight schools were named School of Contribution out of the 60 schools in Northern Kentucky that work with Children Inc. on service learning projects locally and globally. School of Contribution designation means each school adopted a policy supporting service learning as well as at least 70 percent of the student body participated in at least one project during the 20082009 school year and more. Caywood Elementary was one of two schools specially recognized as an Exemplary School of Contribution for having 100 percent teacher and student participation and support in 11 different service learning projects last school year. “It’s really exciting to be one of two out of 28,” said Caywood Assistant Principal Sandy Schnatz. Last year, the first year the school participated in service learning, Caywood’s third graders raised over $2,000 for Heifer International and created gift bags for over 100 swimmers in the Special Olympics. “They went above and beyond and reached out locally and globally,” said Jelly Terkelsen, service learning coordinator for Children Inc. “It was the first year they participated in this initiative and they

Children Inc. named eight Kenton County schools a School of Contribution for having at least 70 percent of their student body involved in service learning projects. Caywood Elementary was named an Exemplary School of Contribution because 100 percent of students and faculty participated in a service learning project last year. Abby Mullins’ kindergarten class kicked off Caywood’s first service learning project of 2009-2010 at an assembly held Thursday Oct. 29 to announce the school’s win to the students. Mullins’ class will be heading up Project Pop Tab, a school-wide initiative to collect pop tabs for the Cincinnati Ronald McDonald House. had 100 percent student and teacher participation. They also fulfilled School of Contribution requirements they weren’t required to do yet.” In addition to helping the community, service learning is a way for students to use their knowledge and make a difference in the
real world. Terkelsen helps connect schools with the organizations that work best with a school’s core content. Piner Elementary was also named a School of Contribution, for the second year. Assistant Principal Kim Carnes said the value of service learning is stu-
dents applying their knowledge to real-life situations. “It actually starts with the teaching of the curriculum and from that students have ideas about how they can apply that curriculum,” she said. “It’s helping our students become good citizens as well as applying their learning
to real life. The other six Kenton Schools of Contribution are Beechgrove Elementary, Fort Wright Elementary, Ryland Heights Elementary, R.C. Hinsdale Elementary, Taylor Mill Elementary and Summit View Elementary.

Gateway Community and Technical College is implementing a new school age childcare certificate program, beginning in the spring semester of 2010. The program includes credit-bearing courses (15 college credit hours) for individuals wishing to pursue a career working with schoolchildren, ages 5 through 12, in group-settings such as before-and-after school care, full-day school vacation programs and summer camps. The required five courses focus on child development, positive guidance, developmentally appropriate practice and the specific needs and interests of school-age children. The school-age certificate required courses are embedded within the Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education program offered at GCTC. It is a great starting point
for individuals desiring to work with school-age children, currently working with school age children or continuing to advance their level of education. It is possible to complete the certificate in one or two semesters. However, if a potential student has a current child development associate credential, they can receive articulated credit for nine credit hours, and need only three classes to complete the certificate. It is also possible to complete this entire credential online. For more information, contact Dr. Susan Santos, Division of Arts, Humanities & Social Science chair, at 859-442-4165.

Kenton football season: Part 2 begins By Adam Turer
eastsports@communitypress.com
The second season of high school football begins Friday, Nov. 6, for Kenton County teams. Preparing for the postseason puts coaching staffs in a delicate position. They need to keep their players relaxed and focused, while at the same time stressing the urgency of the moment and the fact that, for some players, this might be their last chance to make plays on Friday night. “Everything we do in practice this week is contingent on the fact that this might be it,” said Holy Cross head coach Bruce Kozerski, whose Indians open the Class 2A playoffs at home against Owen County. “We have to find a way to play relaxed, but at the same time the kids know this is the playoffs.” Most teams headed into the last week of the regular season with a playoff berth already locked up and their seed for the opening round already determined. The final week was a chance for teams to focus on their own execution and continue to improve heading into the postseason. Some programs enter the playoffs with more momentum than others. Beechwood and Covington Catholic are both coming off of difficult losses. Beechwood lost a close contest to Newport Central Catholic, while CovCath was routed by Louisville St. Xavier. “We are coming off of a real tough loss and we need to rebound mentally and emotionally,” Colonels head coach Dave Wirth said. “This will be a real mental week of practice for us.” The Colonels host Woodford County in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. CovCath earned the home game by defeating Dixie Heights during the regular season. Dixie Heights will travel to Ashland Blazer in the first round. Beechwood

The Tigers are aiming for their third straight state championship. Some coaches try to downplay the significance of the postseason. To keep his team calm and focused, Holmes coach Stephen Lickert treats the first round of the playoffs as if it is another week in the regular season. Whatever Lickert has done has worked so far this year, as he led the Bulldogs to an 8-2 mark and their first district title in 31 years. “We try to treat it like any other game,” said Lickert, whose team will host East Jessamine in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. “We want to take advantage of each extra day of practice and take advantage of every opportunity we get on Friday night.” Holmes, Holy Cross, CovCath, Beechwood (vs. Trimble County), and Simon Kenton (vs. Butler) all earned home-field advantage for at least the first round. District champions Holmes, Beechwood, and Simon Kenton will play at home in the second round
week of what is at stake. “You get their attention by reminding them that this week is the first step of equipment collection,” said Kozerski. “In the next breath you have to get them ready to go out and take care of business on Friday night.” Of the nine area teams, only two advanced past the second round last season. Scott did not qualify for the postseason in 2008. Beechwood and Simon Kenton advanced to the state championship games in Class 1A and Class 6A, respectively, and aim to play a full schedule again this season. The other six programs hope that they can make a deeper run this year. “We know we have to play five one-week seasons,” Wirth said. “We have a mature group of guys and they know that they won’t get to the second week if they don’t take care of business in the first week.”

Lloyd (at Louisville Christian Academy), Scott (at Johnson Central), Ludlow (at Eminence), and Dixie Heights will travel for their first round contests. The extra home game is a reward for all the hard work that went into the regular season and paid off in the form of crucial district victories.
“I think it’s most important to our school, community, and fans and to our seniors to have another home game,” said Wirth, who feels he has one of the best groups of seniors he has had in 15 years of coaching. Kozerski believes the best way to get his team to focus on the task at hand is to remind them early in the
Zach Sowder rushed for 104 yards to lead the Eagles (2-8). He finished the season with 1,727 rushing yards, third-best in Northern Kentucky. The area’s second-best rusher on the season, the Pioneers’ Miles Simpson, rushed for 122 yards to bring his season total to 1,777 yards. Chad Lawrence rushed for three scores, passed for two more, and returned a punt for a touchdown to lead the rout. Simon Kenton hosts Butler in the opening round of the state playoffs.

The Bulldogs (8-2) clinched the Class 4A district title with the win. Greg
Clemons rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns, Damian Oden rushed for 84 yards and a score, and Jesse Jenson added 77 yards on the ground. The Bulldogs host East Jessamine in the first round of the playoffs.
Pendleton County 27, Ludlow 6
Ludlow (5-5) took a 6-0 lead into halftime, but yielded 27 unanswered second half points in the loss. Jacob Hatter’s 35-yard touchdown pass to Chris Yates gave the Panthers the early lead. Ludlow plays at Eminence in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs.
Shadyside 28, Holy Cross 7
The Indians (5-5) lost the regular season finale after falling behind 28-0. Chad Fuller added a late touchdown on a 47-yard pass from Jerry Arlinghaus. Markel Walker passed for 35 yards and rushed for 66 for the Indians. Holy Cross hosts Owen County in the opening round of the Class 2A playoffs.
Louisville St. Xavier 63, CovCath 7
The Colonels allowed 363 rushing yards in the defeat to the top-ranked team in 6A. Alex Slabaugh scored CovCath’s lone touchdown.
Boone County 28, Dixie Heights 21
A short pass from Nate Alford to Jordan Oppenheimer turned into the tiebreaking touchdown with a minute to play as the Colonels lost to the Rebels. Ryan Wilson scored two rushing TDs and Seth Bruns one. Wilson had 131 passing yards and 120 on the ground. Wilson enters the postseason with 2,028 passing yards and 19 scores.
Pandas go for state soccer title By James Weber jweber@nky.com
The Notre Dame Academy soccer team has lived by its defense through much of the postseason. The offense broke out Oct. 29 to the tune of an 81 win over Bourbon County in a state quarterfinal game in Paris. Notre Dame will play Daviess County (20-3) 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5 at Georgetown College. The winner goes to the state final 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. The potential opponents are Sacred Heart (171-2) and Lexington Catholic (19-4-1). Notre Dame beat both those schools this season. The Pandas will look for their second state title after winning it all in 2004. The Pandas have allowed just 14 goals all season, and just one in eight contests preceding the Bourbon match.

Clark made it 3-0 at halftime. Courtney Clark scored her second and third goals of the game in the second half to make it 5-1. Sophomore Belle
Leininger had two goals down the stretch, and junior Emily Combs had the final marker. Courtney Clark enters the state semifinals with a team-high 13 goals and seven assists. Heather Shelton has 11 goals. Alexa Clark and Sydney Scheben have seven apiece. The previous round featured Lange, a senior midfielder, facing off against her cousin, Abby Felthaus from St. Henry. “It was a big deal,” said Lange. “We’re both seniors, so one of us was going out. We had our whole families here.” Lange provided the winning blow in that game off a 25-yard free kick with 27 minutes left in the game. Notre Dame won 2-0 on a later goal by Alexa Clark. “It feels awesome,” Lange said. “We have to keep working hard and we’ll have a good chance.”

Colonels learn from early struggles By James Weber
over Montgomery in the state quarterfinals Oct. 28, senior goalkeeper Brett Futscher praises his teammates for his eighth shutout. “Our outside backs stuck to (Jauregui),” Futscher said. “Everybody found him, everybody talked a lot. Whenever he ran, we shifted with him. I only had to make two or three saves.” The goals have been generated by sophomores lately. In the past four games, Evan Talkers has three and Sam Mullen three. Talkers enters the semifinals with a team-high 19 goals and Mullen has eight. Against Montgomery, Talkers scored the first goal early in the first half after nifty footwork to beat the Indians goalie. “I just kind of took the guy one on one, beat him, and got it in the corner,” he said. “I was excited. It was a great feeling.” In the second half, Mullen scored for the third straight game on a header, this time off a free kick from Garrett Justice. Mullen’s brother Ben was on the last CovCath team to make the

Al Hertsenberg changed the defensive system of his Covington Catholic soccer team this season, switching to more of a zone-oriented scheme. The Colonels struggled with it early in the season against a tough schedule that included some of Cincinnati’s better teams and Louisville Trinity. CovCath started 2-5, giving up 13 goals in that span. The Colonels have allowed just six goals since then en route to a 12-1-1 streak. Defense was expected to be a big key against St. Xavier Wednesday, Nov. 4, in the state semifinals. St. X (21-1-1) the defending state champ, has outscored opponents 109-10 this year. The winner plays in the state final against Greenwood or Danville at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Georgetown College. CovCath allowed just one goal in its first five postseason games heading into the state semifinals. “We took our lumps over

We hadn’t given up many goals lately.

Pandas fall in volleyball semis By James Weber jweber@nky.com
The Notre Dame Academy volleyball team thought this could be the year it would win the state championship and break 14 straight years of the title going to Louisville. So there were plenty of tears and no moral victories after the Pandas lost to eventual state champ Louisville Mercy in the state semifinals Oct. 31. Mercy won 25-19, 2515 to avenge a tight fivegame loss to Notre Dame a month ago. Notre Dame finishes 32-9. “It just hit me that my season is over,” NDA senior libero Leslie Schellhaas said. “I love all the girls on this

team. It’s hard to realize that this is the last time I’ll have Notre Dame on the back of my jersey.” Notre Dame started the match quickly, leading 6-1 and 13-10, but an 11-2 run by Mercy paved the way for a Game 1 win. Mercy then came out with a 9-2 lead in the second game. “I don’t think either of us played our best game the first time we played each other,” NDA head coach Andrea Lanham said. “(Today) we weren’t doing a very good job of running things outside of where they are. When you’re not changing things up, you become very predictable. We didn’t make them have to think very much.” Notre Dame had just 12 kills compared to 29 for Mercy. Mercy standout Madison Hardy, a Miami (Ohio) recruit, led both teams with 11. Seniors Jaimie Wulfeck and Liz Barton led NDA with four kills apiece. Wulfeck set the school’s career kills record in the previous match, a quarterfinal win over Dunbar. She is looking to play volleyball in college. “They started getting the momentum and we just let them do that, we didn’t come back,” Wulfeck said. “They did a very good job

It was hard to adjust to.” Schellhaas and Wulfeck were named to the all-tournament team. Other seniors are Morgan Ebner, Ashley Robinson, Brooke Jones and Karli Ward. “I knew at the beginning of the season that it would go by in the blink of an eye,” Wulfeck said. “We did so many great things this year.” NDA returns two starters in sophomore hitters Emily Schmahl and Shelby Reid.

The evening news is frightening enough for me.” G.G. “I wouldn’t waste my money on today’s ‘scary,’ i.e. blood, violence, gore, sex, etc. but a long, long time ago I loved what I thought was scary was all the Frankenstein movies. What your imagination can dream up is a lot scarier.” Duke “Scariest? ‘The Exorcist’! The reverse spider walk down the steps scene makes me leave the room. At that point, what’s the use for a priest? Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is pretty scary.” T.S. “I would have to say the scariest movie I ever saw was ‘Psycho’ directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It

As opposed to today’s blood and guts (make you sick) movies this one really kept you on the edge of your seat. Plus seeing it in the theater added to the suspense. ‘The Exorcist’ was a close second. Most of today’s scary movies are more about special effects and less about acting and directing. Go figure!” T.D.T. “Stephen King’s stories always terrorize me: I am afraid of kids on Big Wheels, corn fields, fog, clowns, proms and Saint Bernards.” K.G. “The scariest movie would be ‘Poltergeist’ and the scariest villain would be Freddie Kruger. The suspense made the movie scary and Freddie’s killing methods made him a real baddie.” B.N.
Horses and Hope saves lives In a little over one year, it is remarkable just how many people the Horses and Hope program has touched across the Commonwealth. Every year between 2,800 and 3,200 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it the second leading cause of death for women in Kentucky. When presented with such a staggering statistic in 2008, I knew something must be done. My drive to help tackle this issue head on led to the development of Horses and Hope: an initiative to educate, improve awareness and offer screenings for the often overlooked members of Kentucky’s horse industry. Since its inception, we have hit the ground running in every corner of the state, mobilizing survivors, doctors and advocates to help us spread the word far and wide about the importance of being screened. Recently we hosted a successful race day at Keeneland, where a sea of pink dresses, scarves, ties and ribbons flooded the grandstands. Conversations between mothers, sisters and daughters about the importance of telling their friends and neighbors to get screened filled the racetrack. These are the conversations that save lives. The overwhelming amount of support from partners for the Horses and Hope program has been truly outstanding. Due to the hard work of partner groups as well as our committed volunteers and steering committee – The Pink Stable – we will be able to ensure that our next years of operation are even more inclusive

as we work together to provide information about the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. The figures to date for Horses and Hope are extraordinary: • Four of Kentucky’s primary racetracks – Ellis Park, Turfway Park, Keeneland and Churchill Downs – have been the site of multiple Breast Cancer Race Day celebrations. • More than 760 track workers were educated about the importance of testing for breast cancer. • Six screening dates using mobile mammogram technologies at Kentucky’s racetracks led to the further testing and diagnosis of breast cancer in two individuals. • 1,790 Race Day survivors and guests were in attendance at Horses and Hope events, including 135 at the 2009 Kentucky Oaks “Pink Out” Day. • More than 125,246 Race Day fans have learned more about the importance of being tested as well as about the prevalence of breast cancer in the commonwealth. • To date, approximately $96,361 has been raised to help continue this important, life-saving program.

Fall a good time for soil testing Question: Is this a good time to do soil testing, or should I wait until spring? How deep should I dig to get samples from my lawn, garden and shrub beds? Will the test results tell me how much lime I should add to my garden? Is there a fee? Answer: Fall is a good time to take soil samples for nutrient and pH testing. Fall sampling will often result in a faster return of results and recommendations from the University of Kentucky’s Soil Testing Lab. If your soil is too acid, it will need lime to raise the pH. If the soil is too alkaline or basic, sulfur may be needed to lower the pH. About two-thirds of the lawn, garden and landscape soil samples brought in to the Boone County Extension Office have pH levels higher than needed for optimum plant growth. Many of these would benefit from the application of sulfur, whereas lime would actually be harmful if added. Therefore, lime (and wood ashes as well) should never be added to soil unless a soil test reveals the need. Both lime and sulfur take several months to raise or lower soil pH, so fall is a good time to apply whichever one is needed. By garden planting time in the spring, hopefully the soil pH will be properly modified. Lawns should be fertilized primarily from September to December. Landscape trees and shrubs need fertilized in late November or early March. Fruit trees and bush fruits should be fertilized in February. Phosphorus and potassium can be applied to flower beds and vegetable gardens in the fall, but wait until spring to apply nitrogen, or else the rains and melting snow will leach it below the rooting area. However, if manure will be used on
a garden, berry patch or orchard, it should be applied in the fall, due to food safety concerns.

All soil core samples should start at the soil surface and go down to the recommended depth given for each specific crop listed below. Don’t include any mulch or plant parts in the soil sample. After all cores from one crop area are collected and placed in the bucket, crush the materials and mix the sample thoroughly. Allow the sample to air dry in an open indoor space free from contamination. Spread the soil out to dry on newspapers. Do not dry the sample in an oven or at an abnormally high temperature. When dry, crumble the soil and fill a 2 cup sample container with soil. Soil sample bags and information forms for submitting samples are available at your local County Extension Office, where the soil testing service will be free in Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties. For established lawns, sample the top 2 inches of soil only. Areas to be tilled up for a new lawn should be sampled to a depth of 4 inches. For annual flowers, sample the top 6 to 8 inches of soil, but for perennials, sample the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. Don’t take samples too close to foundations, sidewalks, driveways or limestone graveled areas, unless these are treated as separate “problem areas.” Granular dry fertilizer can be added to the

For home landscape trees and shrub beds, sample the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. Take samples from under the dripline of established trees (under tips of the longest branches all the way around the tree), or just outside the root ball or planting area for newly planted trees. When testing home vegetable gardens, sample the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. For tree fruits, sample the top 12 to 18 inches of soil. If sampling around bush fruits and vine fruits, sample the top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Allow two weeks to get the results back from your soil test.

Honoring the past
Veterans Day events should have good turnout By Jason Brubaker

Siblings Monica and Mauricio Bermudez of Cotillion Events in Covington bake and create fresh, flavorful wedding cakes. Here the brother and sister stand with their signature cake, the Rose Petal cake (right), which can have as many as 500 handmade gum paste petals on a three-tier cake.
Siblings bake up cake By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Greater Cincinnati could be the future home of its own “Ace of Cakes.” The brother-sister team behind Cotillion Events located in Covington’s Wedding Mall specializes in wedding cakes and more made with traditional recipes and decorated with modern lines. “We always joke and say one day we will be the ‘Ace of Cakes’ of Cincinnati,” laughed co-owner Monica Bermudez. “What happens on TV happens on real life too.” Monica, along with her brother Mauricio, opened Cotillion Events 18 months ago. Many of the recipes and flavors used by the siblings were learned from their mother, who owns a bakery in Venezuela. “We grew up in a family that carries the tradition of cakes,” Mauricio said. “We decided it was time to continue the tradition.” The siblings design their cakes with clean lines and elegance in mind, but they don’t mind going a little avant-garde at times. Mauricio said popular cake styles right now include using differently shaped layers like a hexagon base, square middle and round top. Nontraditional colors such as ivory, light blue, pink and chocolate brown are also showing up more on cakes. “We work with the bride and groom and meet their specific needs. We create a
unique cake for their wedding,” Mauricio said. Brides can come to Cotillion Events and choose a different flavor and filling for each layer of cake, at no additional charge, Monica said. Cake stands are also available for weddings free of charge. “Tell us what you want, give us the cost and we’ll go from there. There’s never going to be an additional cost for any features you choose on the cake,” Mauricio said. In addition to wedding cakes, Cotillion Events also takes on cakes for baby showers, birthdays and other special events. “We have done drums, hamburgers and any other stuff that maybe other people don’t dare to do,” Monica said. And though delivering and assembling cakes on site can be anxiety-inducing, Monica says the client’s reactions make the work worth it. “When they see the cake and go ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this – it’s so beautiful,’ then it’s OK,” she said with a laugh. Eventually Cotillion Events hopes to expand into wedding planning and catering. But for right now, the brother and sister are happy baking: “I can’t see myself not doing cakes in the future,” Mauricio said. For more information about Cotillion Events, located at 630 Madison Avenue in Covington, call 513-237-1161 or visit cotillionevents.com.
Highland Cemetery and the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum are partnering this year to ensure that all veterans know that their sacrifices are appreciated. In recognition of Veterans Day, the cemetery is hosting two special events this year on Nov. 8 and Nov. 11. On Nov. 8 at 2 p.m., they’ll host their annual Veterans Day event, where local World War II veterans will be honored. “We’ve gotten a great response from the veterans, and we think this is going to be a special program,” said Kathleen Romero, who is helping to organize the event. “We’re thrilled that we can honor them like this, because they’ve done so much for us.” Romero said the event chooses a different set of veterans each year to focus on, although all veterans are certainly welcome and encouraged to attend. Next year, she said they’ll honor local Korean War veterans. As part of the ceremony this year, she said they were able to research local WW II veterans, and have found stories of soldiers Veterans Day at f r o m Boone, Highland Campbell Cemetery and Kenton County The annual Veterans Day event will be held in who were front of the Chapel on Nov. killed in 8, starting at 2 p.m. The the attack Civil War event will be held on Pearl in the Chapel on Nov. 11, H a r b o r. starting at 6:30 p.m. Both Not only events are free to attend, will their and should last stories be approximately one hour. shared, but Due to limited seating, there will reservations should be also be a made for the Civil War 21-gun event.

On Nov. 11, Civil War archeologist Jeannine Kreinbrink will be speaking about the Civil War and it’s history in Northern Kentucky. The program will be at the Highland Cemetery Chapel, starting at 6:30 p.m. “Veterans Day started after World War I, but it was also meant to honor veterans from all wars,” said Kreinbrink. Gayle Pille, who has helped to organize the event for Highland Cemetery, said the program will show the rich history of the area as it relates to
the Civil War. “Jeannine is an expert, and she has found a lot of fascinating things herelike the old cannonball off the cemetery trails about 10 years ago,” said Pille. “This should be a really great program, and people will come away learning a lot.” Both programs are free, but the Nov. 11 program will have limited seating, so guests need to make reservations.

The longing that never goes away spiritual component of o u r nature. It is a longing for the transcendent, for Father Lou God. For a Guntzelman c r e a t u r e , fulPerspectives total fillment will only be found permanently with its Creator. Strange, but many of us fear our spiritual longing. Why fear it? One reason is because we think it will cost us too much of our humanness and the enjoyment of this life. Paradoxically, it will increase it. We fear, as Francis Thompson feared as he ran from God, “Lest having thee, I might have naught else besides.” We also fear publicly admitting our need for God because of the secular implications that say only the mentally deficient believe in a God. In response to this fear of spirituality, James W. Jones, professor of religion at Rutgers University, says, “The struggle to find meaning by connecting with a universal, cosmic, moral and sacred

reality represents not a failure of nerve, the onset of premature senility, or a lapse into neurosis, but is rather a natural part of the unhindered development process. The denial of this quest for the transcendent debilitates and impoverishes our life.” Got that? This doctor of psychology at a prestigious university is telling us it’s quite normal to realize you long for God. You’re not neurotic or senile for doing so, you’re not weird; in fact you’re being true to your nature. It makes your life
worse by not doing so. Spirituality is not optional. Certainly we need material possessions to live, and enjoyment to thrive, but we need a spiritual dimension to live fully. It enables us to find purpose and meaning and connects us our source and destiny. It fills out our picture. The fact that longing constantly nips at our heels proves it’s not optional. It’s crucial for general health. “Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is to say over 35, there has not been one whose
problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life,” wrote Carl Jung. Our consumer society tries to contradict that Jungian idea. It says our longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society that tells its people they should live a certain way, if that way is fundamentally in opposition to what people are by nature, produces what Nietzsche termed the “sick animal.” There is a longing down
deep where the sparks of our humanity smolder. Though we enjoy this wonderful world, our longing wants to call us ever onward and up where we belong.

CONSOLIDATION
event
The experience of longing is familiar to everyone. Throughout a lifetime we long for myriads of things – a special toy, a friend, popularity, a lover, more money, better sex, a promotion, health and so it goes. Yet no matter what we acquire or achieve the ache of longing is never completely erased. Eventually there’s something or someone else we think we need in order to be happy. Longing is a sign of our incompleteness. We never reach a prolonged time when we hold something in our hands and say, “This is all I ever wanted and all I will ever need.” One of last century’s most prominent Protestant theologians, Jurgen Moltmann, wrote: “Once awakened by specific promises that stretch further than any fulfillment … once we have caught in them a whiff of the future, we remain restless and urgent, seeking and searching beyond all experiences of fulfillment …” St. Augustine told us the same centuries ago, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are ever restless until they rest in you.” Admit it or not, there is a

Chilly weather outside means chili inside Plus, Rita’s grandson ‘fishes’ for birthday dinner
I had to laugh when grandson Jack requested tilapia from Keegan’s Seafood for his fourth birthday’s dinner. It’s a small shop in Mount Washington owned by Tom Keegan. K e e Rita gan’s a Heikenfeld w a l k i n g encyclopeRita’s kitchen dia for seafood and loves showing the kids all the different varieties to make them more aware about eating healthy. The reason I laughed is when we were growing up, the only seafood we ate was frozen whiting, fried, and fresh bass caught by my Mom and brother, Charlie. I didn’t even know what
tilapia was until I was in my 30s. We need to support independent folks like Tom. So if you have a favorite independent deli/grocer, etc. let me know and I’ll feature them and a signature recipe in an upcoming column. I want to hear from readers across the board: north, south, east and west!
Herb crusted halibut
Any nice white fish will do. When I teach seafood classes, this is a student favorite. Four servings halibut, skinless, 6 to 8 oz. each 1 ⁄2 cup approx. Dijon mustard Salt and pepper 1 ⁄2 cup basil, finely chopped 1 ⁄4 cup each: cilantro, mint, parsley, chives and dill, finely chopped Butter Pat fish dry. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and lightly brush both sides with mustard. Combine herbs and place in shallow dish. Press both sides of fish into herb mix-
ture, coating evenly. In a nonstick pan, melt about 2 tablespoons butter and turn heat to medium. Add fish. Cook several minutes on each side, until done. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: Don’t overcook fish. When it flakes easily, it’s done. Seafood 101: Watch my cable TV show with Tom on Union Township TV (Warner 8 and 15) to learn all you need to know about seafood.
Melissa’s Schaiper’s easy chicken chili
There’s a good amount of interest in the chicken chili Good Samaritan serves in their cafeteria. Friend, great cook and Good Sam’s cath lab queen (my given title) Kay Hitzler found out it’s a purchased product.
Kay’s group in the catheter lab held a tailgating lunch and Melissa Schaiper, a colleague of Kay’s, brought a crockpot chicken chili that was a huge hit. Kay said Melissa’s chili is a bit spicier than Good Sam’s. So I would say use a mild salsa.
communitypress.com and at www.abouteating.com
Rita’s lower fat Fiddle Faddle clone
I developed this for the book “Sports Nutrition for Idiots.” Flaxseed is optional and the store-bought version doesn’t contain this. 4 cups popped corn 1 tablespoon flaxseed 1 cup caramel ice cream topping, heated in microwave
Spray crockpot. Add:
1 pound chicken breast 4 cups canned Great Northern beans 12 oz. salsa 1 teaspoon each: cumin and garlic Cook six hours on low. An hour before serving, stir in 4 ounces of pepper jack cheese. Serve with 4 more ounces of cheese. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you want, stir in more cumin and garlic after six hours. More chili recipes: In my online column at www.
Mix popcorn and flax. Pour topping over, stirring to coat as well as you can. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 250degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Makes 4 cups.
Rooting out recipes
Fern’s chili. For Pam Timme. “It was in the Enquirer long ago and I’ve lost it.” I’m wondering if it’s Fern Storer’s recipe. She was the Post food editor for years and a wonderful cook. Red Lobster’s sun-
dried tomato salad dressing. For Dwight. He had no luck calling the company. (They don’t serve it anymore). He also went online, researched recipe books, etc. Mio’s creamy garlic dressing. Spoke with Chris Forbes, owner of the Milford Mio’s. “Can’t divulge it. There’s garlic, sour cream, milk, pepper and sugar in it.” When I asked if there was any vinegar, lemon juice, etc., he said no. If anyone has a creamy garlic recipe similar, please share. Bravo’s strawberry lasagna for Betty Hawley. I’m giving up on this Augusta, Ky., restaurant’s dessert. I’ve made several calls to the owner, who at first thought she might share, but she hasn’t returned my calls.

Library contest offered spooktacular good time Children throughout Kenton County brought out their best story telling skills this year for the Kenton County Library system’s Haunt Your Library Writing Contest. The contest was open to children grades 1 through 6
Short story winner
The following story won for the best short story fourth through sixth grade category in the Kenton County Library’s spookie story writing contest. The author was Andrew Robbins, a fifth grader in Katy Murray's class at River Ridge Elementary.
The Spell Book
It was a misty night Danny, Elm and Kelly were at the library. “Guys come check this out!”Danny shouted. Kelly and Elm rushed over. “What is it?” Kelly asked. “It's a book.” Elm said sarcastically. “Well what's it called?” asked Kelly. “I do not know. I think it's written in Latin” said Danny. “It looks really-” “Closing time” the librarian Shouted interrupting Danny. “Are you going to check it out?” Elm asked Danny. “Of course I am going to study it tonight.” Replied Danny Later that night, Danny opened the book. There were lists of strange words on every page. Danny tried to say one. “Limorous!” His room started to shake, shelves started to float in midair, and all of his furniture started to spin like a tornado. His dog
from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31. Children entered their original poetry or tale at the Mary Ann Mongan Library, 502 Scott Boulevard in Covington for a chance to have their story reproduced in the Recorder newspapers. First place winners also received

entered the room and somehow got involved with the tornado. The strange part was none of it was making a noise. Then all of a sudden it Andrew Robbins dropped in the same exact place and it didn't make a noise. “It's a spell book” said Danny silently. The next morning Kelly and Elm headed to Danny's house. “So did you find out what it is?” Elm asked. “Yeah, it's a spell book” replied Danny. “Yeah right” exclaimed Elm. “No seriously watch this.” He said as he flipped through the pages and found one. “Sonexus!” They waited a while. “Wow it's really a spell book.”Kelly said sarcastically. What they didn't realize was that zombies from every grave were rising from the dead. Spirits were flying everywhere. When they got outside there was a strange looking man walking towards them. “Do you need anything sir?” Danny asked politely . He just moaned and tried to hit him “what is wrong with you?” Danny exclaimed. The man just moaned and tried to bite Danny.
“He's a Zombie!” Elm said. “Run!” Kelly screamed. When they turned around there was a crowd of zombies. “I told you it was a spell book!” Danny yelled. “OK now I believe you!” Elm said panting and screaming at the same time. Danny opened the spell book. He found one that he thought might be useful and it was. “Englicharm!” Danny yelled. It made every word in the book turn to English. After flipping through a lot of pages he finally found a spell he thought would work. “Cub-“Danny fell to the ground with a Zombie choking him. He tried to ask for help but Elm and Kelly were being choked too. One of the Zombies bit Kelly. All of a sudden Kelly turned green. With horror and shock on Danny's face he remembered the spell. The Zombie got closer and closer to his face. “Cubora” he whispered being choked. The Zombie was about half an inch away from his face, he froze. He looked strange. His face turned to sand and then his whole body. So did all the others. Kelly somehow turned normal again. “Wow that was a close one” Elm said. “Are you going to return that?” Elm asked. “Oh yeah” Danny replied quickly. So Danny headed to the Library and Elm and Kelly headed to their home.
‘House’ a winner
Grace House, an 8-year-old thirdgrader won for her short stories.
Spooky Haunted Creepy House 1
I'm eight years old and I love to be scared. One stormy day, when there were dark, Stormy clouds, I was playing at an old park after taking a break from trick-or-treating. I decided to throw my candy bag into the air for fun when all of a sudden the wind blew it into a big, old, red and creepy house. Since I like adventures, I went in to get my candy back!
Spooky Haunted Creepy House 2
Just to be safe, I left the front door open. Then the wind blew it shut and of course it locked too! Just as soon as I turned around, a skeleton was right in front of my face. I screamed! The skeleton strated to talk and his mouth wasn't even moving! I fainted! When I woke up, there were skeletons young and old feasting on the candy and staring down at me.

Spooky Haunted Creepy House 3
Monsters Galore!
Suddenly they were afraid of me and they took off with all my candy! They thought they were running fast, but to me they were as slow as turtles. When I caught up to them, I grabbed my candy and yelled out, “help me get out of here!”
Frankenstein, werewolves, and ghosts, there are monsters galore! Creatures of thie ngiht are coming out for a fright. Frankenstein does not like fire. Finding friends are his deepest desires. He may be green but he has a heart.
Spooky Haunted Creepy House 4
Some werewolves are nice, some werewolves are mean, but they all come out for Halloween. But the mean ones will give you a fright.
Suddenly, a friendly skeleton pulled out a skeleton key from her rib cage and unlocked the front door! “Thank you, see you next Halloween!” I said. And she said, “O.K.!” When I turned around to wave goodbye one last time, the friendly skeleton was holding a tarantula in her hand and feeding it my candy corn! “They can keep that candy!” And with that I ran home. Enough adventure for one day, I thought
Ghosts can fly and ghosts can scare. If you see a ghost they might get mad if you stare. Frankenstein, werewolves, and ghosts, there are monsters galore! They are waiting for next year to scare some more.

HUNTINGTON’S PREMIER PLUS MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT
AVERAGE AREA BANK MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT
*Annual percentage yield (APY) is accurate as of date of publication. 1.64% rate (1.65% APY) referenced in any of the following tiers is guaranteed for at least 90 days from the date of account opening then may change at any time as the Huntington Premier Plus Money Market Account (HPPMMA) is a variable rate account. Different rates apply to different balance tiers. Rates and corresponding APYs listed in the tiers that do not earn 1.64% (1.65% APY) are also variable and subject to change without notice even prior to the first 90 days. Initial minimum opening deposit required is $20,000.00 and must be new money to Huntington. The interest rate for balances $0.01-$19,999.99 is 0.00% (0.00% APY); the interest rate for the following balance tiers, $20,000.00 to $49,999.99, $50,000.00 to $99,999.99, and $100,000.00 to $2,000,000.99 is currently 1.64% (1.65% APY) and will apply for at least 90 days. This is our current standard rate for HPPMMA opened October 12, 2009 or later. Balances $2,000,001.00 to $999,999,999.99 do not qualify for the 1.64% (1.65% APY); current standard rate for that balance tier is 0.80% (0.80% APY) and subject to change at any time. After the first 90 (ninety) days, the rates in all tiers are not guaranteed and subject to change at any time. When your balance falls into a particular rate tier, your entire balance will earn the applicable rate in effect for that tier, i.e., if your balance reaches $2,000,001.00 or more, your entire balance will earn that lower rate. Balances below $20,000.00 are subject to a $20.00 per month maintenance fee. Interest is compounded and paid monthly. Limit one account per household. CHECKING ACCOUNT REQUIREMENT & CONDITIONS: Customer must also have, or open, a consumer checking account with a $1,500.00 balance which must be titled in the same name(s) as the HPPMMA. Depending on your type of checking account, it may or may not be interest-bearing which will impact the overall return of your total funds on deposit. If checking account is not maintained, the HPPMMA will be converted to our Huntington Premier Money Market Account which has lower rates in all respective rate tiers and does not receive the 1.64 % (1.65% APY) on any balance tier. APPLICABLE TO BOTH HPPMMA AND CHECKING ACCOUNTS: Fees may reduce earnings on the account. An Early Account Closing fee will apply to accounts closed within 180 days of opening.

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…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
