H1N1vaccine clinic at Summit View By Regan Coomer
rcoomer@nky.com
Vaccinations for the swine flu (H1N1) will be available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday Nov. 21 at Summit View Middle School in Independence. Eight thousand free vaccinations, administered by the Northern Kentucky Health Department, will be available for all people ages 6 months to 24, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, pregnant women, health care and emergency services personnel and people age 24-64 who have health conditions associated with a higher risk of medical complications from influenza. Despite the high demand for H1N1 vaccinations, it is unlikely the Independence clinic will run out of shots and nasal sprays, said health department Public Information Officer Emily Gresham Wherle, based on the attendance at the clinic held at Northern Kentucky University Nov. 10. Gresham Wherle said she hopes the department will be able to open up vaccination opportunities to the general public by the holidays or the new year. “Because the vaccine supply isn’t as wide spread, we would ask the few people not in the target groups to wait a couple more weeks and let the target groups get through the line,” she said. Supply of the H1N1 vaccine has been limited due to slow growth of the virus in the lab. Once the virus is grown it can be manufactured into a vaccine, said

Amy Thompson comforts her 6-month-old son Charlie as he gets the H1N1 vaccine at Walton-Verona High School on Nov. 14. Gresham Wherle, who added that while the vaccine was manufactured quickly, that doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. “It’s important to keep in mind there weren’t any corners cut as far as production or safety and this is the same makeup for the vaccine as your seasonable flu shot. It’s just a different strain,” she said. “If this swine flu strain had emerged four months earlier, it would have been in the seasonal shot and there wouldn’t have
been a need to do two vaccines.” In addition to the public clinic at Summit View Middle, children who attend Kenton County schools will also have a chance to receive a vaccination from the health department, with parent permission, some time in early December in all three district high schools, said Kenton County School District Superintendent Tim Hanner. During the day, high school students with parent permission will receive the vaccination. After
school, parents must bring their middle or elementary school students to their community high school to receive a vaccination. Parents will be notified when a vaccination date is set. “We’re happy to help facilitate this for the health department. I want our families to have the opportunity to have these as soon as they can so our kids can be safe,” Hanner said, adding the schools had the parking and space available, so “It just made sense.”

Need is up, but local social service agencies and charities are fulfilling demand – for the most part. “The work goes on, the help goes on, whether it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas,” said Becky Ewing, director of United Ministries in Erlanger. In October, United Ministries provided food and financial assistance to 378 families. The average is usually around 200, Ewing said. In the past year, need for their services has increased about 30 percent, she said. “People are losing their homes and their housing. They’re struggling to pay basic bills,” she said. More than 80 volunteers and donations from close to 50 churches as well as schools and individuals have helped keep United Ministries going strong, Ewing said, but toiletries, cleaning products and paper goods are still needed.

Latonia’s Action Ministries volunteer Shirley McKinney, a Fort Wright resident, has been volunteering for the organization for the last three years. Action Ministries will likely feed up to 1,000 families in the month of November. Action Ministries in Latonia will most likely serve between 900 and 1,000 families in November, said director Tom Dornan. Unpaid staff including himself and 130 other volunteers work for Action Ministries monthly, Dornan said, making it possible to
purchase additional food to make up for an increase in families who need their assistance. “We just purchased $16,000 worth of food and we set aside another $10,000 to buy more food, which wasn’t in our budget, but we had to due to the demands,” he said. Besides helping those in need directly, Action Ministries also provides food to several agencies and ministries such as the Brighton Center and Be Concerned. Like United Ministries, Action Ministries is in need of health products, shampoo, toothpaste and food of any kind. Be Concerned in Covington just started its Christmas appeal for donations and support, said Director Paul Gottbrath. More than 800 families have signed up for Christmas assistance in the form of food, toys, clothing and more. About 100 families are on a waiting list for the organization’s Christmas program. “I’m hoping that will stay as strong as it was last year,” Got-
tbrath said of support for the Christmas program. “Until the checks come in I don’t know if that’s the case or not. We budgeted about $40,000 for Christmas donations and we’ve received about $12,000 or $13,000.” If Be Concerned didn’t have a Christmas program some people wouldn’t have Christmas, Gottbrath said. “They wouldn’t have any toys to give their children. It would be a pretty bleak time for them,” he said. “That’s why it’s important for us to generate resources to help those folks. We’re their last recourse to provide some Christmas for their families.” Be Concerned is asking for donations of new toys, food and winter gloves, hats and scarves as well as personal hygiene products. Be Concerned provides assistance year round and serves about 1,200 families a month. For more information or to donate to United Ministries, call 727-0300; to Action Ministries, call 261-3649; to Be Concerned, call 261-6789.

Independence senior citizens decked the halls Monday Nov. 16. Seniors decorated the Independence Senior & Community Center’s 15foot-tall tree, hung wreaths, set up snow men and put Bing Crosby on the CD player.
The seniors get the center ready for the holidays every year, but this was the second year for the tea party, which required fancy dress and show-stopping hats. “We just thought if this was a community center we should have a tree fit for the community,” said holiday decorations volunteer Charlotte Thompson.

City passes smoke ban resolution By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Crestview Hills City Council will be asking Kenton, Campbell and Boone fiscal courts to pass a smoking ban in indoor public places. The council passed a resolution urging the fiscal courts to enact the ban at the regular meeting Thursday Nov. 12. The resolution passed 4-3 with a tie break vote cast by Mayor Paul Meier. The city plans to send the resolution to all three fiscal courts.
Visit nky.com
“It’s the right thing to do for the public,” Meier said. “Drinking is legal; drinking and driving is not legal. Yes, you have a right to smoke, but you don’t have a right to smoke if it’s going to harm someone else.” Council member Thomas Moser cast one of the three dissenting votes on council. “I’m in favor of freedom and not having political people tell people what to do,” he said. “I’m not in favor of politicians telling people what to do on their private property.” The resolution was passed at the recommenda-
tion of the city’s zoning and economic development committee, which hosted a public forum Tuesday Nov. 10 for city business owners and activist groups to weigh in on the issue. At first the city was considering passing a city-wide smoking ban, but some officials felt a ban could negatively impact businesses. “Over half of our restaurants are nonsmoking in the town center, so people do have a choice,” Meier said. “In the long run, if we can pass a ban on a regional basis I think it will make us on an even playing field
with other areas like Lexington, Louisville or Cincinnati.” Chair of Northern Kentucky Action Linda Vogelpohl was pleased with the city’s decision. “I’m hopeful this may very well be a tipping point,” she said. “One city stepping up to the plate and encouraging the fiscal court of all three counties to take action – we’re just very hopeful the counties will really move forward with this.” In a e-mail from NKYchoice on the Crestview Hills resolution, the organi-
“In the long run, if we can pass a ban on a regional basis I think it will make us on an even playing field with other areas like Lexington, Louisville or Cincinnati.” Paul Meier Mayor of Crestview Hills zation stated “In an era of plans for big governmentrun health care, it should be no surprise that there are those who seek to use the force of government to deny people their property rights and freedom of association in the name of the ‘public good.’”
Beechwood billboards spark debate By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
A potential project involving placing two billboards, visible to I-75, on Beechwood’s property has stirred up a debate amongst some Fort Mitchell residents. The school board presented the idea to the city council at their Nov. 2 meeting, saying they wanted to use the billboards as a way to generate extra revenue without having to raise taxes. Since the board would need a text amendment in order to
place the billboards, they requested the council submit a text amendment on their behalf to the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission. “We want to work together on this, because we want to be a good neighbor,” said board president Michael Dammert at the time. However, several residents turned out at the Nov. 16 meeting to voice their displeasure at the idea. “What if we have to look at these things for the rest of our life, but we
only get two or three years of tax relief?” asked Joe Oka. “I’m just not sure what we’re opening ourselves up to by doing this.” Ann Reis agreed, saying that allowing two billboards now could lead to more down the road. “Once a couple billboards go up, we’re going to see them all over because everyone is going to jump on the bandwagon,” she argued. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Dec. 7 at 7 p.m.

Now is the time: thank your local veterans
By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
REGAN COOMER/STAFF
Twenhofel Middle School eighth-grade student Faith Spegal hugged her father Jerry, a U.S. Navy veteran, at the school’s Veterans’ Day event Nov. 11.
Kenton County School District students honored veterans with hugs, cheers and a standing ovation Wednesday Nov. 11, Veterans’ Day. “I am very proud that our 18 schools are conducting special Veterans’ Day programs and events to honor the ultimate service – the service of sacrifice – honoring those who have giving military service to the United States of America,” said Superintendent Tim Hanner at Twenhofel Middle School’s ceremony. Students at Twenhofel sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” played “Marches of the Armed Forces” and honored their relatives who served in the military. Congressman Geoff Davis, himself an army veteran, was the special guest at Twenhofel. After a presentation of colors by students from the Kenton County Success Academy, Davis said he would have been in the program himself at their age. “Be careful,” he said. “When you work hard and serve others, you don’t know where you’re going to end up.” Davis shared anecdotes about his time in the service and his experience with veterans. “Make yourself indispensable to the people you serve,” he advised.

Congressman Geoff Davis was the special guest at Twenhofel Middle School’s Veteran’s Day ceremony Nov. 11. Davis shared his experiences serving as an army ranger and senior parachutist. Davis asked students what they will do when they are called to service. “You can answer the call by joining a military organization or going down to Covington and teaching someone to read,” he said, stepping down from the podium with a standing ovation from students, faculty and guests. Twenhofel Middle School Principal Cheryl Jones shared a poem written by eighth grader Raemi Robinson, called “When is the Time?” “We ask them to fight, but we never learn/Do we ever give them enough thanks in return...When is the time, you ask me, I say/Now is the time, let’s thank them today.”

Mentoring program reaches 300 mark By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
REGAN COOMER/STAFF
Tim Hanner asks members of Hanner’s Heroes to give Shining Stars Mentors and One-to-One reading coaches a hand at their monthly meeting Monday Nov. 16 at Simon Kenton High School. The program pairs up high school mentors and coaches with elementary school students who need a little extra help with a particular subject. Hanner’s Heroes has grown from 100 students at the end of last school year to 300 now.
Hanner’s Heroes membership has tripled since the Kenton County School District started the reading coaching and mentoring program one year ago. About 200 students are Shining Star Mentors working at least 35 minutes a week with elementary children grades one through three and 107 work weekly with students specifically on improving reading skills. Reading coaches were trained in the Reading Oneto-One program by district administrators. “It’s student driven, student lead and student empowered,” said Superintendent Tim Hanner. “It shows when you give students an opportunity to do
positive work and make a difference they’ll take advantage of it in positive ways.” There are now heroes in every elementary school. Hanner’s Heroes choose which school they’d like to go to mentor. Many choose to mentor or coach at the elementary school they attended, said program coordinator Sara Callahan. “It’s just so exciting. They e-mail me and say ‘I want to make a difference at the school where I went,’” Callahan said. Scott High School student Alicia Beach said she loves coaching reading at Taylor Mill Elementary School. “It helps me get involved in Taylor Mill since that’s where I want to teach. I feel in love with teaching when
I went there. I decided to be a teacher in first grade and I haven’t changed my mind since,” she said. Last year Beach was a reading coach to a third grader who had trouble taking his grade level reading test. Eventually, with Beach’s help, he passed. “I see him sometimes. It’s really cool when he comes up to me and talks to me. He’s not shy anymore,” Beach said. Success Academy Student Adam Eversole, a reading coach, said he’s already seen improvement in his third grade student. “We’re a big influence on them. We can show them the right direction not only in reading, but also to take school very seriously so their future will be a lot better,” he said.

Pioneers tested in regional semis By Adam Turer
eastsports@communitypress.com
Being seriously tested for all four quarters in a playoff game will only benefit the winning team. It is too late in the season to learn lessons from such a game, unless you can come out on top and advance to play another week. After cruising through 10 of their first 11 games, the Simon Kenton Pioneers were tested early and often in their second-round playoff matchup with Louisville’s DuPont Manual. The Pioneers held on for a 39-29 victory to advance to the regional final. “It was tight in the first half,” Simon Kenton head coach Jeff Marksberry said. “Our kids did a great job of hanging in there.” The Pioneers trailed in the second quarter before taking a one-point lead into the locker room at halftime. Manual continued to respond to every Simon Kenton score in the third quarter and the Pioneers did not put the game away until Miles Simpson scored with five minutes left in the game. Marksberry was impressed with the way his starters continued to fight late in the game. Many of them were used to cheering on their backups from the sidelines late in games this season, resting after securing another blowout win. The average margin of victory in the Pioneers’ first 10 wins was 37 points. “We didn’t give in to fatigue,” Marksberry said. “I told them all year that we’d have to play a full 48minute game sooner or later. We had some guys who decided that we

Kaiser scored the game’s first points on a 90-yard interception return and helped the Pioneer defense hold Manual scoreless in the final quarter. Simpson continued to take over games seemingly at will, rushing for three second-half touchdowns. He finished with 131 yards on 25 carries, 122 yards in the second half.

“We started clicking in the second half on both sides of the ball,” said Marksberry. “Most of the adjustments we made at halftime were mental.” The Pioneers (11-1) advance to face Louisville St. Xavier (11-1), the topranked Class 6A team in the state at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, in Louisville. Simon Kenton is two wins away from a return trip to the state championship game, but knows it faces its biggest test of the season against one of the most storied programs in the state. “They are a great team and a great program,” Marksberry said of St. X. “We can’t waste any plays.” Simon Kenton had not played in a close game since losing at home in week four to Henry Clay. The Pioneers dominated district play and crushed Butler in the opening round of the playoffs. Trailing by a touchdown in the third quarter to Manual, the Pioneers showed that they have toughness to go with their abundance of talent. They will need to
play their best game of the season on Friday night if they are going to continue their season. “I think this came at a great time in the season to make our kids play a full game,” said Marksberry of the come-from-behind win over Manual. “It helped our kids realize that we aren’t going to be able to win every game by 30 points. It could not have come at a better time.”

The Colonels’ season ended at the hands of the Class 5A juggernaut. The Bluebirds returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown and never looked back. Dixie Heights finished the season 5-7.

The Bulldogs were worn down by the Eagles’ rushing game, which piled up 238 yards. Jesse Jenson completed 10 of 19 passes for 157 yards and a score. Desaun Peterson caught six passes for 93 yards and a 46-yard first quarter touchdown which tied the game at 7. The Bulldogs were shut
out over the final three quarters, amassing just 197 yards of offense. Holmes finished the season 9-3.

The Indians gambled for the win, but fell inches short. Markel Walker rushed for a fourth-quarter score to cut the Desales lead to one. The Indians opted to go for two and the lead, but Walker’s pass fell incomplete. The Indians then allowed a touchdown hoping to get the ball back with enough time to score again and try to tie the game. The final drive ended with an interception. Walker rushed for 165 yards and passed for 146 yards and a touchdown. The Indians finished the season 6-6.

Scott senior signs with DII Tusculum College By James Weber jweber@nky.com
His eventual college basketball team is more than 300 miles away, but Daniel O’Conner won’t have to go far to see two of that team’s games this year. O’Conner, a Scott High School senior, signed to play hoops for NCAA Division II Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn., east of Knoxville. Tusculum is ranked No. 6 in the nation in one preseason Division II poll, and will play twice at Northern Kentucky University in NKU’s John L. Griffin/Lions Club Classic Nov. 20-21. “I liked the coaches a lot,” O’Conner said.
“They’re very open with everything.” O’Conner, a three-year starter, is one of two returning starters from last year’s 23-9 team which made the 10th Region semifinals. A 6-foot-8 senior, O’Conner can shoot from outside and play defense well for his size, said Scott head coach Brad Carr. O’Conner is the first Division II or higher signing in Carr’s tenure. Carr said the family has been proactive in supporting the program. “This is a big day for our basketball program,” Carr said. “Daniel was fortunate enough to be 6-8, but a lot of 6-8 kids don’t work hard enough to get to this level.”

Runners claim medals at state meet By James Weber jweber@nky.com
She has been running cross country for barely more than a year. Now, Christina Sandberg will be looking to run in college. The Calvary Christian senior finished 11th in the Class 1A state meet Nov. 14 at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. She ran a personal best time of 20 minutes, 32 seconds, earning an individual medal. “I was really excited,” she said. “I didn’t think I’d do that great. It was exciting after having an injury in the middle of the year. I felt a lot better today.” Sandberg, who finished fifth in the regional meet, is hoping to run at Asbury College in Wilmore, Ky. Also in 1A, Holy Cross
runners Gabrielle Bergman and Natalie Jehn medalled in the girls meet by finishing in the top 15. Ludlow senior Jordan Laws finished 15th in the boys’ meet to win a medal. Villa Madonna placed third in the boys’ meet. Pete Miller and Ryan Laber won individual medals by finishing in the top 15. In 2A boys, Covington Catholic finished second as a team. Stephen Schwab was fourth and Kevin Crush 10th. “It’s been a long time since we’ve been a factor at the state level,” said Colonels’ head coach Pat Anneken. “We gave it everything we had. They’ll walk out of here with their head held high.” In 3A girls, Notre Dame junior Mary List medalled with a 14th-place finish. In 3A boys, Dixie Heights senior Ryan Smith finished eighth in 3A to win a state medal.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question
Is “Sesame Street” still relevant today, 40 years after its television debut? Why or why not? Do you have any favorite memories of the show? “Sesame was great for my kids and now my grandchildren are learning from and relating to it as well. I like the way this show uses music to enhance learning. I relate most to Oscar the Grouch.” G.G. “Ever since they bowed to political correctness and sent ‘Cookie Monster’ off into the twilight they lost me!” C.J.W. “Sesame Street is still relevant because teaching our youngest learners the basics of reading, math and good behavior never goes out of style. I love that the characters that kept me entertained are still around to entertain my children. The addition of new characters has allowed it to stay current while maintaining the same, loving format we enjoyed years ago. I cried when Big Bird told us that Mr. Hooper had died. No kids show today would take on the tough topic of death or some of the other issues they've handled over the years.” J.H.
Next question: Do you plan to participate in “Black Friday” shopping the day after Thanksgiving Day. Why or why not? If so, how early do you go? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “The mission is the same today as it was then. There are still kids who are being educated by it. Plus it has a following of people who grew up on it and are raising kids today. I always loved the skits with the aliens ... yep yep yep.” A.H. “Sesame Street was a big part of my twin granddaughters’ life. Courtney was very seriously attached to Grover and Sarah was attached to Big Bird. When Courtney had surgery on her left leg, so did Grover. They both came out of surgery sporting a beautiful pink cast on their left leg. Big Bird and Grover made a surprise visit on their fifth birthday and Sarah was frightened so that ended her relationship with him. But at almost 21 years old I am sure Grover is still in someone’s memory. P.S. I dressed as Cookie Monster myself in a Shriner parade 20 years ago and won a prize for our organization.” I.K.
Discover Kentucky’s hunting heritage My brother from Ohio asked me the other day, “John, what’s a deer camp?” In the days of Daniel Boone, a hunting camp was a time when men left home for hunting grounds to harvest meat for the year. Though deer camps have changed in modern times, I am happy to report the tradition is alive and well here in Northern Kentucky. Retired Secret Service Agent and President of the Rabbit Hash Sportsmen Association Bill Murphy is somewhat of a modern day Daniel Boone in today’s deer camps. He has been known to travel from camp to camp enjoying the camaraderie and tall tales around the campfire and offering younger hunters a bit of advice. Rumor has it a bit of “Kentucky brown” is consumed during these evenings. For these Kentucky hunters, mid-November is a special time of year. The air is crisp, trees are ablaze with color and the state’s main deer hunting season has arrived. Every teenage boy hopes that this is the year his dad will say he is old enough to go deer hunting with the men. In many families, hunting brings parents and children closer together. It provides an opportunity to teach responsibility, patience, focus and an appreciation of the natural world. Our state owes many thanks to the sportsman who help care for our state’s land and our wildlife populations, as well as for their efforts to ensure that time-tested values are passed down from generation to generation. Nov. 14 was start of modern gun deer hunting season in Boone, Kenton and Gallatin coun-
ties, as well as other counties in the northern part of the state. It is a reminder to many Kentuckians of how fortunate we are to State Sen. live in a state John with such splenSchickel did beauty and a b u n d a n t Community wildlife. Recorder Kentucky guest enjoys a tradicolumnist tion of hunting, and the beauty of our land and forests is no doubt a big reason why hunting traditions endure. Kentucky’s deer population is one of our state’s success stories. There was a time almost 100 years ago when there were less than 1,000 deer in Kentucky. We have more whitetail deer in Kentucky today than in the time of Daniel Boone. Wise wildlife management practices sustained over the course of years brought the population back to the point where Kentucky is today a top location for trophy whitetail deer. Modern gun deer season in our part of the state lasts until Nov. 29. Late muzzleloader season lasts from Dec. 12 -20. As always, hunters are required to wear orange hats and vests and should review the state’s hunter education requirements. Hunter education is required for Kentucky hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1975. For more information, view the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Web page at www.kdfwr.state.ky.us. State Sen. John Schickel of Union serves in the Kentucky Senate.

Spraying firewood is not effective Question: I think there are bugs and spiders coming out of my firewood, since I keep finding them near the fireplace. Is there something I can spray the wood with to kill the bugs in it? Answer: This is the season when many homeowners begin to burn firewood. Firewood is a source of warmth and comfort, but can also be a way for pests to enter homes. Most pests living in firewood pose no harm to people, furniture, or to the structure. Nonetheless, homeowners often become concerned when critters emerge from wood that is brought indoors, and crawl or fly about the house. Several types of insects dwell within firewood. Termites, wood boring beetles, and carpenter ants often tunnel and feed within the logs, but upon emergence, usually will not infest structural wood or furniture indoors. Other kinds of pests hide or overwinter beneath the bark. Examples include centipedes, ground beetles, sowbugs, pillbugs, spiders, scorpions and wood
cockroaches. Typically, they emerge within a few days or weeks of the wood being brought indoors. For the most part they are Mike Klahr harmless other Community than the distress by their Recorder caused mere presence. columnist Control of firewood pests is best accomplished by management of the firewood itself. Spraying/dousing the wood with insecticides is not necessary, effective nor recommended, and could produce harmful vapors when the wood is burned. A better plan is to: 1. Store firewood outdoors, only bringing in what you plan to burn immediately or within a few hours. Storing firewood for extended periods inside the home, garage or basement allows pests in the wood to emerge within the structure. Firewood stacked
indoors can also become a harborage for rodents. 2. Position the woodpile away from the house and off the ground. Firewood stacked against the side of a building impedes ventilation and encourages moisture problems. Storing wood in this manner also provides a direct, hidden avenue for termites and carpenter ants into the building. Stacking firewood off the ground (e.g., on poles suspended between concrete blocks) increases air circulation and drying. 3. Burn older wood first. This shortens the time during which pest infestations can become established. 4. Shake or knock logs together outside to dislodge any pests clinging to loose bark. Don’t forget to also check bottoms of log carriers, since pests often crawl into these when the logs are transported into the home. The occasional insect emerging from firewood can easily be eliminated using a broom or a vacuum. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

The Kenton County Motor Car building in Independence was caught on a 1938 home movie that features scenes of downtown Independence, Independence High School and more. The Historic Preservation subcommittee of the Independence Strategic Action Committee are looking for photos, newspaper clippings and memories from long-time residents of the city to aid in the Independence History Project, an effort to preserve the city’s past.
Shared memories, photographs, wanted for city’s history project
By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Share stories, memories and photos of old-time Independence at the library later this month. The William E. Durr branch of the Kenton County Library will host Memories of Independence, a program that gives residents the chance to tell their stories about the city and view a home movie from the ‘30s, at 1 p.m. Sunday Nov. 22. The program is part of a larger history project the historic preservation subcommittee of the Independence Strategic Action Committee (ISAC) has been working on for the past year and a half. Eventually, historic information could be used in the future to revitalize downtown with signage or a permanent display. Mainly, the committee hopes to collect and record reminisces at the library event to ensure the city’s history isn’t lost. “We’re asking long-term residents to come out and be a part of the Independence History Project. Their help is invaluable,” said committee member Chris Reinersman. Reinersman said there was a historical society in the ‘70s with information on Independence, but it disbanded and now no one knows what happened to their collection. “We’re lacking so much historical information on the city – without them, we’re not going to find it,” he said of life-long residents. Jan Hamilton, a member of the historic preservation committee and a library employee, said there’s much history to be found in Independence. “There’s a lot of history in Independence that is going when a person passes on. This way we will have a record of it for the grandchildren,” she said. Reinersman said the committee is especially looking for information about the city from the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. “I would love to talk to anybody here prior to 1970,” he said. But he and Hamilton agree anyone who has a story about the city can be interviewed. “We will take anybody’s memo-

A clip of the 50-minute long movie can be found on youtube.com if you search “Independence, Ky.” “It gets you excited whether you’re a history buff or not,” Reinersman said.

Has marriage become too frail to carry our dreams? age 15 than Swedish kids born to unmarried parents. “Remember, we’re talking about the ‘avant-garde’ Swedes compared to the ‘conservative’ Americans,” Cherlin says. The bottom line is that while marriage is good for kids, it’s best when it results in a stable home. Or, as Cherlin puts it, “Many of the problems faced by American’s children stem not from parents marrying too little but rather too often.” What’s gone wrong? It would take volumes to try to assess. One factor is that most couples still embark on the marriage journey believing that “all we need is love and good sex.” Interestingly, too many still mistake infatuation and active hormones as convincing proof that love exists. Nor do they realize what else is needed even when genuine love is present. M. Bridget Brennan and Jerome L. Shen, in their book “Claiming Our Deepest Desires,” point out important elements missing in today’s new marriages: “Navigational tools of communication, conflict resolution, deep listening, willingness to admit errors and wrongdoings, a sense of humor, trust and emotional maturity are all necessary in a good and lasting marriage.” To these I would add a

best wedding gifts God gave you was a full-length mirror called your spouse. Had there been a card attached, it would have said, ‘Here’s to helping you discover what you’re really like.’ ” Psychologically and spiritually the other human we marry is, in the truest sense, to be a helpmate in our self-awareness and growth.

Marriage is being scrutinized today because of its disappearing stability. So is the earth being scrutinized because of its disappearing glaciers. So is organized religion because of its disappearing congregations. Whenever crucial elements of life start fading our concern for them escalates. We worry about marriage because of its immense impact on the collective and individual welfare of society. Our country has the highest divorce rate in the world. “We divorce, re-partner and remarry faster than people in any other country,” says Andrew Cherlin, a Johns Hopkins sociologist, in his book, “The Marriage-Go-Round.” A recent column in Time magazine (Aug. 24 and 31) addressed the same concern titled, “Americans Marry Too Much.” It expressed a legitimate worry about our kids, “American kids are more likely than those in other developed countries to live in a household with a revolving cast of parents, stepparents, and live-in partners moving in and out of their lives – a pattern which is definitely not good for children.” Cherlin was amazed to find out that American kids born to married couples experienced 6 percent more household disruption by

Rita’s readers resurrect Fern’s beloved chili Writing this column week after week never gets “old” to me. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s the sharing of recipes and stories that make it a popular read. Apparently Fern Storer, food editor at the Cincinnati Post for a very long time, had the same relationship with Rita her readHeikenfeld ers. Rita s kitchen P Wa h emn Ti m m e asked for Fern’s chili recipe, I had no idea the response would be so great. I figured a few of you might have a copy. Well, not only did I get a couple dozen responses; one reader offered to send me a copy of Fern’s cookbook (and I will definitely accept!).
So thanks, thanks, thanks to all of you who shared recipes and stories of this unique lady. I wish I had met her. I understand she was an enthusiastic gardener, as well. I know my Mom liked Fern’s recipes, and that to me was a great endorsement. I made the chili during a demo at Macy’s on Saturday, and everyone loved the mild taste and thick consistency.
Fern Storer’s chili
Jean King, a Loveland reader, brought this in personally to me. By the way, Fern was a very detailed recipe writer. She wanted her readers to be able to recreate her recipes without one problem. Here’s my adaptation from her 1989 cookbook. Mount Healthy reader Rob Hiller sent me the recipe, as well, along with
the Cincinnati chili story Fern had as a sideline. Rob substituted 1⁄4 each ground cloves and allspice for the 6 whole called in the recipe. 1 pound ground beef (not hamburger – I used sirloin) 6 each: whole cloves and allspice, tied in cheesecloth, coffee filter, tea ball, etc. or 1 ⁄4 teaspoon each ground 1 ⁄2 of a medium-size onion, more if you like, chopped (I used about 1 cup) 1 clove garlic, finely minced, or 1⁄4 teaspoon powdered garlic or garlic salt (I used a teaspoon fresh garlic) Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chili powder (start with 2 teaspoons) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano 28 oz. diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon brown sugar (I didn’t use) 1 ⁄4 teaspoon liquid hot pepper sauce, optional (I

didn’t use) 1-2 regular size cans kidney beans with their liquid 1 ⁄2 cup dry red wine (a mellow burgundy), optional but good (I didn’t use) Cook ground beef until red color is almost gone. Add everything but beans and wine. Simmer gently and cook uncovered, about 20 minutes. Add beans and wine and cook another 15 minutes or so. It will be fairly thick. If it becomes thicker than you like, a cup or so of water may be added.
Also, if you cool and refrigerate it, you will probably need to add a little water to the amount you reheat. This will make eight to 10 generous servings.

County animal shelter seeks donations for holidays This holiday season the Kenton County Animal Shelter is asking community members to make donations to the shelter that will brighten the life of a homeless pet. Difficult financial times have forced many families to relinquish their pets; and, as a result, more pets than ever have found themselves homeless and waiting for adoption at the shelter. Monetary donations collected during this holiday season will be used to purchase several items that
the shelter desperately needs to improve the quality of life for resident dogs and cats while they await adoption. Some of these items include: • Padded fleece beds for cat kennels • Sturdy and reusable Kong® toys to keep the shelter dogs busy and entertained • No-spill bowls for the cat kennels • Special collars and leashes for making the shelter dogs' daily walks more comfortable
• Sound system for the kennels to play soothing music and help relax the dogs For animal lovers who may be short on cash, the shelter is also seeing the donation of volunteer time. Shelter volunteers can fill a variety of roles that run the gamut from walking dogs and cuddling cats, to assisting with adoptions and answering the phone. All volunteers must complete an application, pass a background check,
and attend volunteer orientation and training. Additionally, volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and willing to commit a minimum of 50 hours to the shelter over a sixmonth period. To make an online donation to shelter, visit www.kentoncounty.org and follow the links to the “Animal Shelter” page. Click on the “Donations Online” button. Or, simply call the
shelter at 859-356-7400 or stop by the shelter to make a donation. The shelter also welcomes donations of pet food and gently used blankets and towels. Donations may be dropped off at the shelter at 1020 Mary Laidley Drive, Fort Mitchell, KY 41017 during regular business. Shelter hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

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. We reserve the right to limit acceptance of deposits greater than $100,000.00. Not valid with any other offer. FDIC insured up to applicable limits.

Bed & Breakfast
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…
