FEBRUARY, 2014 VOLUME 35, NUMBER 11
February Message FroM Mayor riehl
Hello to all! Well the ground hog has seen his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter; as if we haven’t had enough of Old Man Winter already. This winter has been a very tough one for all of us: from the bitter cold temperatures to all the snow outside. We’re all ready for an early spring. The forecast predicts more cold weather, so please take a few moments to check on your neighbors who may be shut in during these cold and snowy winter months. Since most of us are spending time at home through the cold, watching and cheering on the USA athletes competing in the Winter Olympics can fill the time for you and your family. A big shout out to our hard-working folks in the Public Services department for continuing to keep our streets passable throughout the many snow events this year. The large amounts of snowfall have made it a challenge. Having a large volume of snow to remove creates problems on where to place it. The process of plowing snow from the street deposits the snow to the right side of the truck
Music
St. John United Church of Christ (Bellevue, Kentucky) is pleased to announce its 15th annual Music on the Avenue Recital Series. This year’s series will take place over five Friday evenings at 8 p.m.,
along the curb, or if a car is parked, next to the car. We wish it could be avoided, but it cannot. Please be patient while we continue to work to make the streets clear. Just a reminder that February 14 is Valentine’s Day, so don’t forget that special love in your life. Wear red this month not only for Valentine’s Day, but for National Heart Month to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease sponsored by the American Heart Association. “Shop Bellevue!” events continue on the first Friday through the winter months. All stores are open for business, so come down to Fairfield for all the fun and hot winter deals. March 5 is Ash Wednesday and will begin the Lenten season. And you know what that means: Friday night fish fries. Please take time to support one of our local charitable organizations hosting these events. Mark your calendar for the annual Fairfield Mile Run which is set for March 22, 2014. This is a wonderful event, which brings back many familiar faces to Bellevue each year. So dust off those running shoes or
walking shoes like me and come support our many Fellowship of Christian Athletes. All monies collect go towards their summer camp trip. Bellevue shined well once again in hosting the annual Polar Bear Plunge event on February 1. This year was the biggest yet since bringing this event to Bellevue. They had over 1,000 people take the plunge and raised over $170,000 dollars this year. A special thanks to all the city employees who helped make this a great success this year. Well, hopefully spring is just around the corner, but it is never too early to start planning for all those outside home improvements project around the house. Please take a few moments to walk around your house to check for winter damage from all the ice and snow. Should you need any assistance with questions about permits or C.O.A’s please contact our staff to assist you at 859-431-8888. Please note our offices will be closed on Monday, February 17 in the observance of President’s Day. Be safe and Happy Valentine’s Day.

by Terry Baute Welcome back City of Bellevue. Well it has been a tough winter for us so far all with the amount of snow and extreme cold temperatures. Hang in there one more month (hopefully) and we will be in for better weather and spring. Our office has processed and approved 7 building permits during the month of January. Although that is a low number I think the bad weather has put many projects on hold. The good news is that the spring brings re-
newal and home projects. Remember there are many projects that require a permit. If you are uncertain whether you need a permit for a project please call me and I will be more than happy to work with you and conduct an onsite visit if necessary. Contractors are required to obtain an occupational license. If they start a project without a license, the job will be stopped until they purchase this license and a penalty will be added as well.

Our city adopted the “International Property Maintenance Code” for our codes and ordinances. This provides the basic “Maslow’s Pyramid of needs” for property owners. The code provides common sense requirements such as high grass, trash accumulation and guide lines for Landlords and property owners. I am happy we adopted this code long ago to help us keep our city livable and a desirable community. Some folks don’t like having someone tell them how to live or what they can do or not do with their properties, but it protects our city from becoming run down or deteriorated. The city has a couple of grants available such as a two family conversion grant. If you have a two family that you have maintained the rental agreement license, you might be eligible for this grant.

bleak tiMe is best tiMe…For bird FaMily planning! by Jo Anne Warren, Master Gardener, Tree Hugger If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?—Percy Bysshe Shelley While we enjoy watching birds feeding on our holly berries and swelling buds on the early-blooming trees and shrubs, we ought to realize that what we are watching is war. Survival of the fittest. We watch them
fuss and fight at the feeders, squabble in the shrubs. Soon the survivors will be pairing off and will need to establish families and homes for them. Isn’t that what spring is all about? There needs to be enough natural food growing on trees to support ongoing life. We watch them chasing each other off a branch or a pile of seeds or tray of apples and orange rinds and

Will their builders return this year? There’s a lot of life in those trees! But the nests that will be first we will not easily see— they are in the evergreens. The evergreens give shelter in the season before leafout of deciduous trees and shrubs, and so birds who ensure survival of their species by raising more than one brood in a year will have their first nest in the

class success goes hand in hand with good attendance!
Ms. Exterkamp’s Fifth Grade Class 2013-14 Ms. Exterkamp’s Fifth Grade Class at Grandview Elementary has reached the stars when it comes to attendance this school year. This class has a 98.71% attendance rate. Out of the 18 students in this class,
eight (8) students (almost half the class) have perfect attendance so far this school year. Students who have been absent have only missed 1 to 3 days making everyone at 94% or higher to date.
Too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. Even missing just a day or two effects student learning. Parents and guardians can help with getting students to school by setting a regular bed time and morning routine. Laying out clothes the night before eliminates controversy before school. Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Be sure all required shots are up to date. Avoid medical

FroM pg 3 evergreens. It would be so nice to have a large spruce, pine or hemlock right outside the window where we have our morning coffee. Opportunities to plan new plantings come in winter when storms bring down a tree, and we decide what to plant next fall to replace it. Choices might refer to those who use, live in, and pollinate our trees. What would they like? Watch when birds are eating in the wild areas—fruit still hanging on the trees, through freezing and thawing becoming fermented and very tasty, remaining seed pods, fallen nuts. Watch woodpeckers extracting dormant insects and sweet tree sap, groundfeeding birds scratching in the leaf litter (let’s not clean everything up in fall)! Birds have good memories, so we see them returning each winter to our feeders and trees and shrubs. When doing family planning, consider the birds family and be ready to greet them!

Fireman Joe Says When I left my house this morning and drove to the Firehouse it was 6 Degrees below zero, BRRRR. Winter is here and we continue to get slammed with snow and very cold temperatures. I am concerned about all of this and hope everyone is taking the necessary precautions to keep themselves and their families safe this winter. I have a couple of suggestions and recommendations I hope you take note of. Dress warmly if you go out, take a good look around your home and be a good neighbor. Now let me elaborate more on those topics: Be a good neighbor and check on those around us, especially our seniors, are they okay? Maybe give them a call or drop by to check, perhaps if you are going out, do they need a ride or do they need anything for themselves or their homes? Dress Warmly and when you send the little ones out be sure they do the same. Are they safely getting to school? Watch the play time outdoors! And lastly, take a good look around your home; Make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working and located near sleeping areas. Be careful with alternative heating sources like space heaters (Need Space at least 3 feet), fireplaces, always
use caution and be sure to dispose of the ashes in a metal container with a lid, outdoors. Does your alternative heating appliances have “tip switches”, in case if falls over it will shut off. Be careful when using candles, keep the flame away from combustibles objects and out of the reach of children. We need to be ready for possible power outages, be sure appliances are in the off position. Follow manufacturer instruction for cleaning, maintenance and repairs. If there is a fire hydrant near your home, keep it clear of snow, ice and debris for easy access by emergency response units. Keep your walkways as clear of snow and ice as you can so no one will fall or slip. Remember to keep your cell phone charged and close by while you are sleeping at night. Remember, if you have a fire in your home, leave the residence immediately and call 911 from outside. If you are trapped inside a structure, get into a room, keep the door closed and stay on the line with the dispatcher, and explain where you are inside the structure. The dispatcher is in constant communication with the fire department and will advise us. Stay Safe and Stay Warm!

They will have a series of questions regarding your pets description, personality and your location. If animal control picks up your pet it will go to the shelter. Some individuals will take the pet there if found or at least call in a found report. 2. Post signs. If an individual picks up your pet they may not take it to the

shelter. Lost posters help. 3. If your pet has a chip, Alert the microchip company. Make sure your pets information is current and your correct numbers are attached to the chip. Register your pets microchip! 4. If you have facebook, post it there. You never know who will see it and have an idea where your pet is. 5. Place something familiar to your pet outside. This is especially important to cats. Smell is everything if there is something famil-
iar they will stay around. 6. If you see your pet DO NOT CHASE it! Try treats, car ride, or simply walking the other way. Chasing could cause the animal to go further away and get hit by a car. What do I do if I find an animal? 1. Scan for a microchip. No matter how bad of shape the animal is in,

keep it siMple: easy, aFFordable Dayton Office of Chiropractic ways to sliM down & stay healthy
Are your kids, family or life making it impossible to exercise for an hour every day? We understand. The pressure to exercise can feel really overwhelming and if you can’t meet your goal it’s easy to feel discouraged.
Here are some easy changes you can make in your life that can make a difference in how you look and feel. Sometimes keeping it simple is the secret to success. Jump! Jump! Skipping ropes, aka jump ropes aren’t
just for kids. Get your cardiovascular system revved up and ready to go. This is one calorie-burner that works every muscle, delivering a full-body workout that slims and tones (quickly). Do it for 5 minutes before you hop in the shower in the morning, or while you wait for dinner to cook in the oven-you’ll be surprised how much energy you’ll have. Bark in the Park! Get your dog and go for a walk. In one study, people who walked their dog 20 minutes a day, five days a week lost an average of 14 pounds in a year! Let your best friend help you become more active. Plus, a tired dog is a happy dog. Remember to grab your headset and you can double-up on those phone calls to family and friends. Or, you may have a neighbor or friend who would love to join you. Feel the Beat! Listen to some fun, energetic music while you exercise. New music can make exercise exciting and keeps you go-

ing and maybe even helps you work out harder. Music is a great distraction, so it doesn’t seem as though you’re working as hard. So make a fun play list and get moving. Get a Gym Ball. This popular new trend provides a fun way to improve flexibility, balance, strength and tone. Use one as your desk chair to help strengthen your core and improve posture. Or, take a few breaks to do squats or pushups throughout the day. Remember, when it comes to your goal, start small, you’ll be more likely to succeed. Hydrate. Drinking plenty of water can help tame your appetite and make you feel more energetic! Pure water is always best; however, some may feel they “cannot drink that much water”. You can spruce up your water with some lemon or oranges, or add a splash of juice. Even herbal tea can be a nice way to hy-
drate without getting bored of H20. Want to spice things up a bit more? Enjoy coconut water every once and awhile for extra hydration after a workout or busy day. Catch some extra Zzzzzzz’s. Recent research found that sleep deprivation increases food cravings and decreases the amount of leptin in your body - a hormone that helps burn more energy. So don’t skimp on sleep if you want to slim down. How? Cut out a little television or cut back on technology so you can get to bed early. Trust us, you’ll be happy and alert come the morning. You don’t have to get fancy to exercise, and you certainly don’t have to join an expensive gym or spa either. So, start small and set goals and before you know it you’ll be feeling and looking better. For more health related topics and information, please visit: www.daytonkychiro.com.

DO NOT ASSUME it was abandoned or that the owner does not deserve it back. Ex boyfriends, wives, angry neighbors and anyone else can dump a dog. The original owner may love this pet. The rescue or shelter that adopted the pet out may want it back. Always have every animal you find scanned for a microchip. Boone county had a case where a stray dog was picked up, scanned, the owners called and found out this dog had been missing for 6 years. Then the people who had the dog for the past 6 years called to try and claim it. They could not have the dog back because they were NEVER the legal owners. The legal owners took the dog. 2. Report every pet you find in Campbell County to that shelter 859-635-2819. Better yet take it to the shelter and let it spend its stray
hold time. This gives the owner a chance to find their pet. They will never find it if you keep it. Pets are property. You could not keep a vehicle that showed up in your driveway, and you can’t keep a pet the shows up either. There are steps to take to make the pet legally yours in the event an owner never comes looking. If you found a pet in another county report it there. If people lose a pet they are more likely to check local shelters and not surrounding shelters. 3. Call animal control. If you find an animal you can just call me through dispatch 859-292-3622 and I will be happy to pick it up during regular business hours. I can then transport it to the shelter, get it

If a cat appears owned it will get tested for Feline aids and leukemia and if negative will be set up in a cage with a blanket, litter box, food and water. Due to the extreme numbers of cats that come in to the shelter, hold time depends on illness, adaptability, adoptability, and personality of the cat. Please keep your pets contained. All pets have a leash law (containment law) you can not have outdoor cats, nor indoor/outdoor cats. Your pets have to stay on your property at all times. If they wander off, put a leash on them and prevent it. Keep your legal required tags on your pets. Rabies and county tag for dogs. Dayton city tag also if you are a resident of Dayton.
