message from the
Hello again. In my June Message I reported that spring had sprung and the sun had come out. That was short lived. Mother Nature continued to bless us with more rain showers into June. This has kept all city staff busy trying to keep up with all the storm related issues. Once again, hats off to Rick and his Public Services crew for doing a wonderful job each time they are called out. Please take time to look over your own homes for any storm damage and try to keep up on the grass and weeds around the yard and in the alleys. First Friday. Shop Bellevue! In June was again very well attended. Let’s keep it up! I’m sure you had fun searching for Santas in July. Shop local and keep it local helps our community thrive. Calling all pet people! August 17 from 11 to 3 is a great time to head to Fairfield Avenue with your pets
for Dog Days of Summer. The first concert in the park was a great one. Good music, good food, and good fun. July’s concert will be Saturday July 13 with Blue Stone Ivory playing the tunes and a fireworks display to follow at 10:00 p.m. on the river. Come down to the river and enjoy a great time. August will feature a new group, The Chuck Taylors, to our summer concert series. So drop by for some great free summertime fun. Our second movie night in the park will take place on July 26 from 9:30 to 11:00 pm. Stop by before the movie and picnic with the Bellevue Alliance starting at 6:00 pm for a family grill out, because July is National Grilling month. And let’s not forget “Sundae Sunday” in honor of National Ice Cream Day on July 21. I have received several comments from concerned residents about people

Bellevue Renaissance is taking their Third Saturday Celebration on August 17 from 11 am to 3 pm to celebrate pets and help share the needs of animal organizations in our region.

speeding and ignoring the stop signs around town. Please slow down and drive safely around Bellevue. Observe all posted speed limits in town and watch for people in the crosswalks. Remember you must stop for pedestrians when they are in the crosswalk - it is the law! Thanks to all who are looking out for those citizen volunteers who help out during our shopping events to help pedestrians cross safely on Fairfield Avenue, so slow down, enjoy the view, and show everyone we’re a friendly and inviting community. Once again if you are planning any outdoor project please don’t hesitate to call the city office at 859431-8888 for any assistance from our staff. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and I look forward to see all of you at the park on “The Avenue”, and around town very soon.

smiles. Our businesses will feature pet related items as well as visiting vendors. You’ll also have a chance to meet dogs and cats that are waiting for that opportunity to find a loving home. Rescue groups will provide information, adoption agencies will be present for families looking to expand, and animal themed merchandise will be available for purchase. Non-profit organizations will graciously

accept donations. And show off your pooch! Most of the shops along Fairfield Avenue are very pet friendly and want to see your four-legged best friend (on a leash, of course). Treats and water will be provided. Pet lover or not, release the hound in you while you enjoy a day of socializing, dining, and shopping.
On Friday, May 31st, the BHS competitive cooking team participated in the regional finals against a team from Conner High School at the Boone County Cooperative Extension building in Florence. The match placed our Farmers Market Quiche against the Cougars Parmesan Crusted Chicken. The winner would move on to the state level competition in August at the Kentucky State Fair. As it turns out, it just wasn’t our night as we finished as the Region 9 runner-ups. Taylor Atwood, Rebecca Taylor and Patrice Brantley performed well against the four person team of culinary students from Conner. In the end, we were barely outscored on the “open questions we need your help
from the judges” and one judge did not like “…too taste” as a measurement for salt and pepper. However, we did draw praise as one judge said, “If this had been a competition based solely on TASTE, you would have won hands down”! Overall, it was fun and educational experience for the team and they are already looking forward to competing again next year. A special thanks goes out to Chef Angie Pelgen (coach), Nina Wilz (Bellevue Schools food service manager) and the people at the PEP grant for all their support as our Taylor, Becca and Patrice prepped for the competition. Cooking Competition is sponsored by Kentucky Department of Agriculture.

Code Enforcement Corner by Terry Baute Happy 4th of July Bellevue Residents! If you are reading this article in our monthly newspaper, you obviously care about our
great city. I say “Our City” and although I do not live here, I take great pride in this city of Bellevue and all the wonderful people that live work and play here. I have had the opportunity to have meet and work with so many wonderful people. Summer is in full swing and although it just started, I think it has been here since the heat began early spring. Just remember that if you place plastic bags out, animals and bugs will be drawn to it. If it is spread around due to animals, CSI will not take the time to pick it up. They are on a tight schedule and need to move on with their routes. I also want to remind everyone that all furniture/clothing placed out to the garbage MUST be in plastic bags strong enough to hold them. Our city office sells these heavy duty bags for this purpose for our cost of $2.00 with twist ties. Don’t take furniture and clothing home before you
disinfect, wash or exterminate so you don’t take bed bugs home. They are travelers and get on clothing etc and then enter your home. And do not put garbage in cardboard boxes. When it rains they get wet and CSI will not pick them up. Please remove your cans after garbage pickup. The alleys look bad when you drive down and all you see is garbage cans especially in the middle of the road. CSI should place the can as far back so as not to interfere with the flow of traffic. Often times when it is windy they blow around the neighborhood and it just looks bad. Put them behind your fence if you have one or back in your yard. We continue to get daily building permits. This is great for property values. This past month we have had 20 building permits issued totaling more than $110,000 dollars. Please call if you are in doubt whether you need one or not and I will be glad to help you with the

Never give money up front to a contractor unless you know and trust them. If they are legitimate they will have the money for the materials up front. I hope this summer brings you good health, prosperity and fortune.

programs that leveraged this campaign to spotlight the issue of senior hunger in their communities,” commented Meals On Wheels Association President and CEO Ellie Hollander. “In these tough times, when so many of our Meals on Wheels programs are facing the loss of federal funds, community support and engagement is vital to ensuring that no senior goes hungry.” Founded in 1962, Senior Services of Northern Kentucky assists seniors in maintaining their dignity and independence. Through programs such as Meals on Wheels, Transportation to Wellness and Advocacy and Protection seniors receive vital assistance allowing them to remain living in their own homes.

Fireman Joe Says Holidays are a time for celebration, and that means more cooking, home decorating, and entertaining and more potentially serious fire dangers. I trust everyone had an enjoyable and SAFE fourth of July Holiday of course I hope everyone left fireworks displays to the professionals but just in case after the fireworks display, children should never
pick up fireworks that may be left over, they still may be active. One of the huge leftovers is sparklers, did you know, sparklers, often thought of as safe, burn at more than 1200 degrees and can cause a third-degree burn. With July and summer at mid point, warm weather can introduce your home and family to a whole new
set of fire hazards, specifically, the increased use of lawn mowers and grills. Lawn mowers, motor bikes, chain saws, and similar equipment powered by gasoline motors require safe handling and safe fueling practices. Allow gasoline motors to cool before refueling them, always refuel outdoors and never top off a gas tank, gasoline expands as it warms. Some good don’ts and do’s: Don’t carry gasoline in the passenger compartment of your car or truck. Do transport gasoline in the trunk of the car, with the lid slightly open. Do remove the container from the vehicle immediately when you get home. Don’t smoke around gasoline or any other flammable liquid. Store all fuels in a shed outdoors
F
or away from garage and house. Propane and charcoal barbecue grills must be used outdoors. Indoors, they’re serious fire hazard. They produce toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, that can be deadly in enclosed spaces. Position the grill well away from deck rails and out from under eaves. Watch fires and hot charcoal grills at all times. Use only proper liquid charcoal lighter fluid or another charcoalstarting device never gasoline or kerosene. Never add any combustible liquid to a charcoal fire. If the fire begins to die, add dry kindling and fan the fire to revive it. Always check manufacturer’s instructions for lighting and maintenance of LP-Gas Grills, check the gas cylin-
OR YOUR HEALTH

One distinction we try to make is the difference between health care and sick care. Our culture has so abused the term “health” that it’s lost its meaning. The mainstay of many television dramas is the heroic lifesaving that takes place in hospitals, with the message that medicine saves lives. And it does. But it isn’t health care. What’s missing from these fantasies is the fact that our so-called health care system is burdened by expensive, heroic measures often used to treat disease states caused by neglect or poor lifestyle choices. Let’s consider the fast food availability. It’s no secret that our highly developed western culture is experiencing increasingly alarming rates of obesity. Especially among children, who are the largest (no pun intended) consumers of fast foods. Millions spent on advertising, action figures and catchy jingles make fastfood icons the most popular
figures in the world. The younger you are, the more likely you are to eat at a fast food restaurant. The typical person eats at a fast-food restaurant 9.2 times monthly! And it’s not just what we eat, but how we eat it. If you’re in the habit of wolfing something down while driving or standing over the kitchen sink, you can’t “hear” your body tell you that you’re full, so you’ll be more likely to overeat. Eat more slowly since it can take your brain up to 20 minutes to register that you’re full. Most of us spend upwards of 90 percent of our allotted food budget on processed foods. That’s a prescription for disaster. To enjoy optimal health, not only do you need an interferencefree nerve supply, but you’ll want to make raw foods the majority of your total daily food intake.

JULY, 2013 der hose for leaks before using it the first time each year. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will quickly reveal escaping propane by forming bubbles. If you detect, by smell or by the soap bubbles test, that your grill has a gas leak and there is no flame: Turn off the gas tank and grill, If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again, if the leak does not stop, call the fire department. Lastly, I recommend, turning off burner valves and the supply valve on the LP-Gas cylinder when the grill is not in use. Never store an LP-Gas Grill indoors. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of summer, just take some time for safety and it will be more enjoyable

Bellevue Independent Schools Annual ABC Retreat gets an ‘A’ At the end of each school year, the Bellevue Independent Schools host their summer ABC Retreat. The intention is to bring together school Administration, Board of Education, and SBDM Council members. At the close of the retreat, participants are given the opportunity to provide feedback. After reviewing thirty one evaluations, the general consensus provides a positive perspective. The feedback proves no C’s, no B’s only an ‘A’ average. Superintendent Starnes led the group in the retreat for the tenth straight year. New to the event, we were joined by community members Ryan Salzman and Tim Vogt from the Bellevue Alliance, city council member Carol Rich and Superintendent, Dr. Steve Hutton and members from his board of education at Beechwood In-
dependent Schools. Retreat participants had the opportunity to witness the district’s progress on their board of education goals and offer insight and input to the mission, vision and promise statements. Mr. Starnes provided examples of the district processes that have streamlined procedures and ensure consistent communication channels at all levels. Feedback from the group indicated that the activity showing the connection between the Bellevue Board of Education goals and the district logo, ‘B.A.G.’ was very positive. You can often hear some of us coining the phrase, “we encourage all students to come to school every day and bring their best BAG.” Bring your best Behavior and your best Attendance and you have the best chances of having your
best Grades, and of course the best accomplishment of progressing towards graduation. The Board of Education goals and district logo were shown in unison with one another. Goals 1,2,3,4 are aligned under ‘G.’ for grades. These goals provide academic progress. Goal 5 is aligned under ‘A’ as we encourage daily attendance from staff and students and continuous commitment from our parents in attending academic conferences. Steps pertaining to ‘B’ for behavior were shared, including the addition of a research based behavior management system.
