Boo! From

Hello to all! Well summer has come to an end on the calendar and fall is here. The cooler temperatures have yet to bless us, delaying when the leaves change into their glorious fall blaze of color. Dust off those rakes and leaf blowers because soon those leaves will be falling to the ground. The leaf truck has been checked out and will be making the rounds soon. Please call the City office at 431-8888 if a pick up is needed this fall. Speaking of cleaning up, our annual fall cleanup will take place this year from October 8th thru 14 . Once again the dumpsters will be located on Van Voast Ave. at the city building parking lot. Tires will be accepted, please stack them alongside the dumpsters. We will not be able to accept paint or liquids this year. Should you

have larger items please call 859-261-0260 to have them picked up by our public service department and leave a message for pickup. So, clean out the basement, garage, or outside around the house before winter arrives. Please remember this is a residential event only. Once again the annual “Art in the Park” day occurred on the second Saturday of September . Each year this event gets better and better. This year was a bit of a challenge due to the rainy weather and a quick change in venue. This event is not possible without the tremendous sea of volunteers who make this it run smoothly and seamlessly. This is why so many artists return each year for this show.

by Terry Baute Code Enforcement Officer Hello friends and residents of Bellevue. Fall is probably my favorite time of the year. The leaves turning brilliant colors, (all

the fall flowers especially mums.) Before I forget speaking about fall, the city is once again having “Fall Clean-Up Bellevue” starting on October 8th through October 12th. There will be two (2) 40 yard dumpsters located at our city building on Van Voast. This is for residents only and not for commercial use. As a resident you are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of junk lying around, basement, garage or yard cleanout or getting rid of old worn out furniture. Remember you are still required to place any furniture

and mattresses in plastic. If you are renting to tenants, please advise them as well. CSI will NOT pick up furniture or mattresses not in plastic. We sell the bags at our cost at our city building for $3.00 per bag with twist ties. If you are in doubt whether you need a permit for a project please call me 859-468-1814.. I will be glad to assist you with the process. If necessary, I can conduct an onsite visit with you to discuss a project. Remember, if you hire a contractor to do the work, always check to see that they have an occupational license, insurance and please get references. I have often heard that some people did not get what they paid for. The biggest challenge for our City is our alley ways. Public works try extremely hard to keep alleys clear of garbage and debris. People continue to place trash in the alley in plastic bags. Our alleys are looking a mess in some areas. Garbage must be placed in a trash container with lids. This prevents animals/ro-

dents and insects for getting into the garage. CSI comes by to remove the trash and it is spread all over because of this issue. They will not take the time to pick up loose garbage. Let’s be courteous to our neighbors and neighborhood and get garbage cans out of the alley after pickup. Did you know you can get rent a large totter from CSI for a few dollars a month? That is an excellent deal. To arrange for a totter, you can call CSI direct at 513-7714200. There are a lot of rear alley yards that are overgrown. The city is not responsible for these areas. We do spray for weeds on

occasion but that’s only for the right of way. Did you know? The time change is right around the corner. November 4th I believe. That is a time we really need to watch out for the little ones walking to school because it is so dark. I hope this fall brings you good health, prosperity and blessings. Be kind to one another and help your neighbor. “An individual can make a difference; but a group can change the world. Lets make this world a better place and do our part; all of us can make a difference.”

this year. Great job and see you again next year. Our last concert in the park was not able to occur due to the heavy rain that day. Thanks to Mary Scott for putting together a great line up this year and thanks to our Public Services Department, Police and Fire Departments for helping out to make these events happen. In Vue shopping events are still the talk of the shopping world. Our next shopping event will take place on November 2. This year we will be having a “Fall Fest ” block party. So come on down and shop, eat, drink and enjoy an evening of great fun on Fairfield Ave. The first block of Washington Avenue will be blocked off for this event, with booths set up for local food and beverages being served. Planning is also under way for this year Christmas walk along Fairfield coming up in November on the 23rd and 24th this year. More details to follow. Remember October is Fire Prevention Month so take time to check your smoke detectors in your home and your carbon monoxide detector for proper working order. Install new batteries or replace old units with new upgraded types. Take a few moments to do an in home safety check before the winter months set in. Also remember that daylight savings time will end on November 4th and set

those clocks back 1 hour. Once again if you are planning any last minute home repair projects around the house before winter sets in don’t hesitate to call the city staff about proper permits, COA’s, and inspections that may pertain. We are always ready to help. 859-431-8888. Have a great fall season and Happy Halloween.

park dedication ceremony

by Steve Brun On October 23rd at 630pm the park on Washington Ave. where it intersects with Walnut St. will be dedicated to Scoutmaster E. James Brun. E. James Brun was the Scoutmaster of Troop 66 at St. Anthony Church in Bellevue, KY. Troop 66 later merged with Troop 60 located at Sacred Heart Church in Bellevue KY becoming Troop 166 where he took over as Scoutmaster. He provided the scouts with opportunities to grow and learn.

He was a leader who willingly and freely gave of his time and experience. This park was built as an Eagle Scout project of which he requested and received approval from the City of Bellevue and the Dan Beard Council. He worked with the Boy Scouts in some capacity from 1970 until his passing in 2015. He continues to serve as a role model for many. Please join his family at the park for the ceremony, with a small reception to follow at Charity Hall.

preventing dog BiteS and attackS by Terri Baker ACO This article is NOT breed specific. Dogs are pack animals. If you own more than one dog, then you already have a pack. If you only have one dog, then your human family is the dog’s pack. A single dog is more likely to become aggressive and protective over humans in the pack and territory.

Multiple dogs can become aggressive just because they’re excited and they feed off each other’s energy. Humans do the same thing. That is how riots happen. Children are more likely to be harmed by dogs. The child could be seen as an intruder to the “pack”. The child could be seen as prey, especially if the child is loud, screaming, cry-

Elect

ing or running. The child could be seen as a lower member of the pack and the dog needs to “reprimand” or “teach” a lesson. A child can easily be killed by a single dog as it can by a pack, if that dog has the strength. Leash laws are so important because it keeps dogs home and under control. If your sweet family dog meets up with another dog while loose, they just formed a pack. If that other dog begins chasing and biting people, your dog will do it too. And your dog may like it and feel motivated to be “bigger and badder” and turn it up a notch. All dogs can bite. I do hate hearing the phrase “my dog would never bite. My dog loves kids. My dog would never kill a cat, he lives with cats.” Your dog is a dog. No matter what breed he was a wolf descendent, a predator, a pack animal and has teeth. Just because we do not understand why or how, just always know your dog can justify it in his doggie mind and will do things that you did not expect. We all cannot have Cezar Milan save our dogs, but we all can do simple things to ensure we are pack leaders. 1. Spay/neuter your

dog. Remove biological and hormonal reasons for aggression. Mating times and/or mother dogs with pups cause attacks on both strangers and family members. 2. Confine your dog. Allowing your dog to wander expands the dogs’ territory that it must protect. Also you cannot control the dog if it chooses to protect the sidewalk in front of your house, when the next jogger comes by. Keeping control of your dog puts you in the driver’s seat and the dog will respect you. 3. Do not allow or force people that are nervous about your dog/dogs to interact with them. Especially do not leave them in charge of the dogs or alone with the dogs. Dogs know when they are in charge of a situation or not. Even the calmest sweetest dog can get an ego boost by snapping at someone or bullying someone. I hear “he’s never done that to anyone before” often. Different people get a different reaction from the same dog. Most dogs hate your mailman. Two reasons: he is nervous about dogs and he comes often and the dog barks and “makes him leave”, in that doggie mind. It’s another ego boost thing. They think they saved the family from that “evil” mailman again. 4. This may be hard for some people, but DO NOT TREAT YOUR DOG LIKE A HUMAN! If your dog has the size and strength to harm someone you need to be in control. Teach basic commands, Sit, Stay, Come, Down, Leave it, release. If your dog is showing aggressive tendencies, do not let him on the furniture. You need to send a clear message that you are alpha and he is not an equal. Crate training is wonderful. This gives you a tool for housebreaking,

preventing chewing and you control the dog and he will learn self control. The crate is also a great place to put the dog if a nervous visitor comes over or if children come over. This gives your dog a safe place. 5. Know your dog and do not be in denial. Know if your dog is a resource guarder or not. If you have a large powerful dog and it gets aggressive over toys, food or space, you have a dangerous dog. I do not recommend children living in the same home. It only takes one snap to require plastic surgery or worse. Most of us have had a small dog with this problem. A small dog with this issue is not likely to kill or maim someone. If you are an alpha pack leader then remember to keep the kids safe. I do not give foster dogs toys, treats or food near my kids. They are given in their crate. That way, they have it at their leisure and do not have to “fight” for it. 6. Never leave kids alone with a dog, EVER! Kids running in grass and being loud sounds like prey. You may trigger an attack. Kids that run are caught with teeth. Dogs may feel protective of your kids, but feel outside kids are a threat and attack. If your dog perceives you as hurting the kids, he may bite you too. Pay close attention if you are horsing around and the kids start yelling. Stop any protective behavior. You do not want the dog taking over the situation. 7. Don’t try to handle a stray dog. You do not know its limits and something you do could set it in motion to bite. I really hope this helps you recognize the potential your dog has and prevents someone from getting hurt. If you have any question or concerns please call 859.635.2819

They opened the 2018 season on Saturday afternoon August 17, at Covington Catholic, hosting the bluejackets of Nicholas County. That’s correct, Saturday at Covington Catholic! The game was moved to Wooten Field due to heavy rain making Gilligan Field unsuitable for play. Nicholas County won

for the second consecutive year, 43-27. They rushed for 385 yards, while scoring 6 touchdowns on the ground. In week two, the Tigers traveled across 0’Fallon Avenue and visited Davis Field where they met the Dayton Greendevils for the 142nd time in the series.

In Week 3 the Tigers travelled to Alexandria to meet the Bishop Brossart Mustangs. The host team led 20-14 at the half. Due to lightening strikes throughout the area, officials postponed the contest. The two teams came back on Saturday morning to resume the game. The Tigers scored two unanswered touchdowns and won the game 28-20. The defense was outstanding. Will Ryan again provided the spark on offense by rushing for 211 yards and scoring 3 touchdowns, 2 on the ground and one through the air.

I am again seeking re-election with no “agenda” but a desire for the city to move in a more business-like, manner. I would like the opportunity to continue my effort for more open, transparent and timely discussion on all issues, after all, these are our tax dollars that we cannot afford to just throw around. This year there will be a new Mayor and I feel with my experience thus far, my knowledge of the Harbor Greene, riverfront property transfers and financing and the Marianne Theatre situation of which many on council are kept in the dark on, or snapped at when they ask a question, I can make an attempt to make changes as to how knowledge is shared both with fellow council members and with you the citizens who are footing the bill.

“Learning to be Inclusive”

I began my ministry in 1981 in a small congregation in southwest Ohio. When that congregation started talking about what it meant to be a welcoming congregation the discussion was primarily about proper signage so visitors could know where to enter the building, find the office, nursery, worship space, and most importantly, where the restrooms were. In those days welcoming included things like, “the coffee hour.” To this day I still do not drink coffee. In those days the mention of tea was such an inconvenience, unless it was that gross instant tea they were making back then. Sometimes the coffee hour included donuts. Thirtyseven years later and donuts still remind me of the thousands of Church meetings (I’m exaggerating) I’ve sat through discussing why people go to Church. We would sit in a circle with long-time Church attendees “welcoming” new people by asking them, so what made you come to Church? I’ll never forget when someone finally got honest and said, “the food!” Some thought it was almost sacrilegious to admit that, and yet most congregations will brag about how good their potluck dinners are. That would be a “pitchin” dinner if you live in Indiana. Either way it’s a gamble on how good it

the

might be. As I reflect my years in ministry it’s sad to admit how unwelcoming we’ve been to so many people without even noticing. Most Church buildings (my current congregation included) have signs that include words that say something like, “Everybody is Welcome Here” or “All are Welcome.” Truth be told, those Church meetings were more about welcoming people “just like us.” Over time we began to ask a different question: what does it mean to be an INCLUSIVE congregation? That raised some neck hair because inclusive meant that we wanted the people we were welcoming to stay, people with different skin color, ethnicities, cultures, and sexual orientations. To be inclusive required us to name who and what we meant when we said “ALL” on our Church signs. The longer the conversations went the slower we began to admit that it was and is about race, and so much more. When exploring being inclusive goes deeper we began to realize that tea can be an option. And, when we do have donuts, a gluten free choice is possible. When we sing spirituals in worship like, “I Want Jesus to Walk with Me,” not only does it remind us of slavery and racism in our own country and hearts but it challenges us to a wider inclusion. So, how about singing, I want Jesus to “Go” with me or “Roll” with me, for those who are

mobile in ways different than walking? Maybe God “receives” our prayers as well as hears our prayers. If we have stage lighting, screens, ramps, and large print bulletins, might we dare have some braille Bibles and hymnals and assistive listening devices? How will/do we respond to a teenager with tourette syndrome who blurts out in the middle of the sermon? What will our attitude be toward this child of God and her family? Welcoming people is good, but, including people of all abilities is better. St. John United Church of Christ is beginning a process to help us learn how to be even more inclusive through how we think, our attitudes, our welcome, our willingness, our budget, and our love for all our neighbors near and far. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey you are welcome and included here.
