September Message From Mayor Riehl Well this month summer will draw to a close and fall will be arriving soon. And those cool fall temperatures will soon follow. School is now in full swing so please watch out for all the children as they make their way to and from school each day. Once again both Grandview Elementary and the high school put on great open house events to welcome all the new students and staff to our Bellevue Community. This year’s senior appreciation luncheon was once again a huge success. A great crowd was on hand for a full afternoon of fun. Thanks to Mary Scott and all of the Bellevue city staff that helped put on this great event. I would be remiss if I didn’t offer a special thanks to all of our local businesses who help support this event year after year. The generosity of 10 major sponsors and over 44 donation sponsors makes this event possible and fun for our seniors. Art in the Park will take place on Saturday September 14 at the Bellevue Beach Park with artists, crafts people, musicians and a Taste of Bellevue followed up
by our final Concert in the Park with Scott Sprague and Friends performing all the classic rock hits. So come on down to the park and enjoy an entire day of great “local” art and music. First Friday, Shop Bellevue!, events are being well attended and with the cooler weather just around the corner come down to Fairfield Ave. and get some cool deals from our great local businesses. Shop local and keep it local. Great news! Our newly remodeled BP gas station is back opened for business on Donnermeyer Drive. Jeff Fischer, the owner of One Stop Liquor had taken ownership of the fueling stop back in May and he and his crew have been hard at work upgrading the facility into a top notch one stop shop. Hats off to Jeff, for once again investing in our Bellevue business community. On September 28 some 200 volunteers will converge on Bellevue and Dayton for the Big Day of Service. This event will be an all day affair with volunteers from around the region and
beyond completing many much needed community projects. The event will kick off at 8am. and conclude with closing celebration at 3:30pm at the Bellevue Beach Park. Please come down and celebrate with the youth. We are truly grateful for this wonderful opportunity to happen here in Bellevue. Let’s show them our support. Mark your calendar for October 12 for the first annual Mayesfest Bluegrass Festival at the Bellevue Beach Park. This will be a one day bonanza of bluegrass and American music on three stages from 2pm until 10pm.This event will feature the region’s best musicians in the business. So come on down to the river for a full day of great music, in the best park around. As always if you are planning any fall project around the house please call the City building at 859431-8888 and our staff will be glad to help regarding permits, inspections, and COA’s that may be needed. Have a great fall and I hope to see you at the Football games. Go Tigers!

Code Enforcement Corner by Terry Baute Welcome back Bellevue residents! The summer has gone quickly. I won’t miss the heat and all the
rain but I will be welcoming the cooler fall weather. Get those summer projects buttoned up soon. This summer has been a challenging one for me. Some residents continue to ignore the codes and ordinances. I have had a battle with some individuals setting out unwrapped furniture and too much trash for CSI. Most of you are responsible and care about where you live. I thank those individuals very much. Also for those who took care of your yards and lawns this summer again bravo and thank you! Surprisingly grass complaints have not been as bad as in the past even with all the rain. Remember that putting out boxes or heavy plastic bags that could be wet or too heavy for CSI. Some residents put out unacceptable materials such as tires, furniture not in plastic or even construction materials. CSI will not pick up these items. When in doubt call
our office. Occasionally someone from our office either observes or receives a complaint about a project that has started without a permit. We do have the authority to stop a job that has started without a permit. There is a penalty for moving forward without a permit. Building permits are required to keep people safe and to ensure that a project is being constructed according to proper building code practices and standards. If you are planning a project and you are in doubt if a permit is required, please call our office. All contractors are required to have a current “occupational license” to do work in the City of Bellevue. Please make sure that they have the proper license. Also to protect yourself from fraud make sure they have the proper insurance and check their references. Again, if you have any questions about any permits or occupational license please contact our of-

What Feeds Your Soul? by Cindy Nunery Well......could be several different things, but I do believe there is one universal observation...... that each one of us has a very specific thing that feeds our soul. It might be time with family, taking a walk through the woods in the fall, a good book, or a nap in the hammock......the list could go
on and on. The interesting thing is that you don’t really think about it until someone asks you, and then you start to wonder.........hmmmmm......what is it that feeds my soul, or once I realize what it is, how do I grab it and not let go? I believe that what feeds our soul is what keeps us content, well, satisfied, ful-
filled, and connected on a deeper level with those we care about the most.......as well, identifies who we are as a person...who we are at the core. We navigate the world often believing we are all just alike with the same likes, dislikes, dreams, desires, preferences, attitudes, temperaments , etc., which is the farthest thing

from the truth. We’re as different as night and day, every single one of us....... but we do all have one common component.....a soul. The only question is, do we want to offer it something that nutures and protects it or not? Interesting question. I had the opportunity recently to step away from my everyday life, to spend time with family, as well as to get away from the busyness of life and the stress it brings, and as usual, I came away with some clarity about my own life, as well as some revelations about those around me. Each one of us are carrying something internally....something that wears us down on a daily basis, and most often so overwhelming that it cannot be fully expressed openly, or even within ourselves. Often we aren’t even aware of it cognitively, but more physically. Could be a slight nagging headache, neck or back ache, or even a sadness that can’t be expressed, frustration, resentment or bouts of anger.........a longer list could follow. Most people I come into contact with keep a horrendously busy schedule with work, family, even social commitments, with absolutely no down time for themselves. They just add another thing to their calendar without ever the notion they could actually bow out of over half of what they’re saying yes to. The daily struggle or goal seems to be that you must keep up with the pace set before you. The interesting thing is, no one can tell you who was responsible for setting the pace. It’s implied there
was someone following them around with a “to do” list, with never the option of saying no for any reason. The point here.......with this sort of pace, how does anyone have time to think about or decide what is right for them, their body, their mind, their life.........and of course more importantly.... their soul. Remember....we are all absolutely different in how our bodies operate, respond to stress, how we relate and understand others, and how we heal when we’re sick. We cannot impose how we live our lives on others, what we think is best for them, or judge when we have no right. Each one of us, I believe, are doing the best we can with the cards we were dealt, and on some deeper level, without fully realizing it sometimes, in search of what comforts us, grants us a sense of stability, allows us to be fully present with the ones we love and cherish the most, which ultimately offers a slower pace for others to witness. God said we would suffer, and we would live in a harsh world......but he never said we had to bow down to anyone else’s pace and neglect what our souls need so desperately......some attention. So find some quiet moments soon and see what feeds your soul.

Mayesfest Music Festival Comes To Bellevue On October 12th come down to the Bellevue Beach Park for a free all-day concert of Bluegrass and American Roots Music. Take in the music and atmosphere on the main stage sponsored by Eli’s Barbecue, or at the Gazebo for smaller sets in between or better yet a “riverboat music cruise” for $10 on Queen City Riverboats right next door. With the back drop of the Ohio River, local restaurants serving up great food, adult beverages and even things for the kids to enjoy, and as many as 15 local and nationally renowned bands and musicians, there is something for the whole family! While many have just recently heard about Mayesfest, an inaugural Bluegrass and American Roots music festival to be held at the Bel-
levue Beach Park on Saturday, October 12; the festival has actually been in the works for a few years. The “brain” child of Benjamin Haggerty and Kevin Feldman, owners of The B-List in Bellevue, Mayesfest was first hatched as an idea in 2009. Named after William Banger Mayes, the patriarch of Ben’s wife Sarah’s family, Ben said “The idea is to have a festival in his own back yard”. “Banger”, born in Owsley County Kentucky, moved to Grant’s Lick in 1945, where he lives today, is a true music lover. He has traveled the country for decades with his wife of close to 60 years, Shirley, attending such festivals. As the concept of Mayesfest evolved Ben and Kevin realized that much more could be ac-
complished with a free festival at the Bellevue Beach Park. “First off, Bellevue is just such a great town” says Ben Haggerty, “and highlighting the city, as well as the Beach Park as a venue makes sense on so many levels”. Ben went on to say, “The park itself is not just beautiful jewel of the community, it also has the ability to attract people to the community via events. It rivals any in the region in my mind, and we want to show it off as the asset it truly is. We want residents and visitors to enjoy it and when they visit they can experience the neighborhoods, shops, restaurants, and businesses. They will see what I did when I came to town – a great place to live, work, and play!”

Fireman Joe Says Hope everyone had a good Labor Day and enjoyed their holiday weekend. I am afraid the Labor Day Holiday kind of sneaked up on ole Fireman Joe, I am still wondering where the summer went? Have had some good conversations with some teachers already and have planned some classroom visits and firehouse tours, sure hope we have the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the schools this year. Fire Prevention Month is right around the corner, in fact it begins October 1st and this year’s theme, “Pre-
vent Kitchen Fires! “ we are asking you all to team and learn to keep a lid on kitchen fire dangers and save lives in our communities. During the month of August had the pleasure of attending the Bellevue Seniors Picnic and will get the opportunity to attend Dayton’s Seniors Picnic on Sept 11th. Was fun and informative to speak with our seniors and learn their concerns on Kitchen Fire Safety. They all agree, the leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking, how many times have you heard
me mention, NEVER leave the kitchen unattended while cooking. It is so easy to get distracted and forget and before you know it a fire has started. So “Cook With Caution”, be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stove top. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you have to leave, even for just a short time, turn off the stove. We gave the seniors a ruler which I asked them to carry with them when leaving the kitchen to remind them they are indeed cooking and something is on the stove. Keep anything that can catch fire, like oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains away from your stove top. If a fire does break out, Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire and CALL 9-1-1 irregardless of the extent or size of the fire. If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out. Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding

According to a 2001 study this belief is so entrenched that street tree placement has actually been discouraged in crime hotspots. Several studies over the past 15 years show trees having a strongly negative association with incidents of crime. Buildings with high vegetation levels had 52% fewer total crimes—property and violent—than those with low levels. A study in Baltimore found a strong inverse relationship between tree canopy and the index of earning robbery, burglary, theft and shooting, -- a 10% increase ore bout in tree canopy resulting in a 12% decrease in crime. treet rees A study in Dublin, Ohio, Comparing tree cover belast year considers some tween private and public virtues of street trees, or areas, an inverse relationwhat is now called the “Ur- ship continued in both, but ban Canopy.” The word the figure was 40% greater ‘canopy’ would suggest for public areas.

Bellevue Independent Schools Meet KDE Mandate Prior to the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, all public schools in the Commonwealth of Kentucky needed to provide training for their personnel on 70 KAR 7:160, Use of Physical Restraint and Seclusion in Public Schools. Bellevue Independent Schools provided their training on August 8th and August 13th to include all employees. The Kentucky Department of Education provided the 4 training modules and materials which is what the Bellevue Schools used to inform and educate their personnel. Below is the guidance and further information on the training modules used. We are making this opportunity available to any community member who wishes to create a login password themselves and learn more about the training on Restraint & Seclusion. The underlined bold area below directs you to where to begin if you want to learn
more. Additionally, on the Bellevue District website is the same information and link to be able to create a login and access the modules. Further Questions, please contact Dan Ridder or Becky Nixon at 859-2617577. Release of Promoting Positive Behavior in Schools, a Web-based Option for the Training Required by 704 KAR 7:160, Use of Physical Restraint in Public Schools - The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), in partnership with Kentucky Educational Television (KET), has developed a web-based option for the annual training required of all school personnel, pursuant to Section 6(1) of 704 KAR 7:160, Use of Physical Restraint and Seclusion in Public Schools. Promoting Positive Behavior in Schools is a professional learning opportunity that focuses on positive behavioral supports

OR YOUR HEALTH
By Dr. Barbara Cook

If someone were to ask for a list of the top most nutritious foods, no list would be complete without mentioning the following: •Apples- Loaded with Vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants, these crunchy snacks might actually help keep the doctor away, by reducing cholesterol and your risk for cancer and heart disease. But remember to eat the skin! •Avocados- Did someone say guacamole? Also high in antioxidants, they help to reduce cholesterol and your risk for cancer and diabetes. •Blueberries- A lowcalorie fiber and antioxidant source, blueberries may help improve short-term memory and slow down the effects of aging on the brain (i.e., Alzheimer’s). •Broccoli- This highly nutritious vegetable, a relative of spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and collard greens, contains vitamin C and beta-carotene. It may help prevent diabetes,

They contain three times the amount of antioxidants as those found in red wine and green tea. Long-term use of this juice helps to prevent heart disease and reduces the risk of certain cancers and the not-so-nice effects of aging (i.e., Alzheimer’s). •Salmon- A major source of omega-3 fats, decreases your risk for developing heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, stroke, diabetes and arthritis and may help with depression. Choose wild salmon over farm raised. •Sweet Potatoes- They are loaded with beta-carotene and are great metabolism boosters! They are also a good fiber source, fat-free and low in calories - so they’re ideal for dieters!
• Wa l n u t s / A l m o n d s These nuts are good for you! Loaded with nutrients, antioxidants and omega-3 fats, they help reduce cholesterol and keep you hearthealthy. Their protein, fiber and healthy fats make you feel full, so you might not be as prone to over-indulge in foods that aren’t good for you! Proper nutrition, exercise, getting enough rest - all of these are part of a healthy lifestyle that we encourage when you come in for your regular chiropractic care. All work together to make the healthiest you that you can be!

They give advice ranging from farming (“Plant cucumbers on the first of July,” to safety, “Never trust a thick-necked man,” to relationships, “If you slop water on yourself while doing laundry, you will marry a drunk.” How does a writer verify sources of Old Wives Tales? That’s more than a challenge. Below are modern Old Wives Tales that seem to make sense but are overall unverifiable for sources.

The “BEAST”

Bellevue
We planted the seed in early May and it just took off. The neighborhood kids are always asking about it and are ready to carve it up. I weighed it today and it’s a whopping 83 pounds!!! We also picked a 38 pound watermelon from this same vine, but we picked it before it was ready so it wasn’t ripe on the inside. We’re trying not to make that mistake with this one. When we do carve the watermelon up there will be plenty to go around! Joshua Jordan
