Starting in January, Boone County residents will see a public relations campaign aimed at getting them to complete their 2010 census form. Kevin Costello, executive director of the Boone County Planning Commission, said the pieces will start in January but will really focus in February and early March.

a census take place every 10 years. The form has 10 questions and there is no long form for the 2010 census. In the 2000 census, Boone County had a 74 percent response rate. That was better than Kentucky’s rate of 66 percent and the national rate of 67 percent. It was the highest rate among the three Northern Kentucky counties. Among Boone County cities, Union’s response rate was 80 per-

cent, Florence’s rate was 75 percent and Walton’s rate was 67 percent. The census should show that Boone County is still growing. The 2000 census found the county had a population of 85,991. Costello has said the new census should show the county having close to 120,000 people. That would mean in just a decade, the county’s population would have increased by 39.5 percent.

He said the forms will come out approximately March 15. Costello said “people have to realize it’s a federal law that you have to abide by and a lot of people don’t understand that.” He said on one hand people are concerned about giving information that is considered private but on the other hand there is the whole idea of getting an accurate count for various programs, noting the funding of transportation.

Neighbors step up for slain airman By Nancy Daly ndaly@nky.com

The family of Tech. Sgt. Anthony Campbell learned at 2 a.m. Tuesday that he died while serving in Afghanistan. Campbell, 35, a 1992 Boone County High School graduate, died from wounds suffered from the detonation of an improvised explosive device in Helmand Province. On a Florence street lined with flags as well as Christmas decorations, his neighbors have rallied together to support his wife Emily, daughter Jordan Campbell, 7, Ryker Campbell, 2, and stepson Devin Ruberg, 11. “You can’t ask for better neighbors. My heart bleeds for their family. It’s a rough time for them,” said Tracy Becker, a neighbor who has been helping make arrangements. “It’s overwhelming for her,” she said of Campbell’s wife. “She is touched by all the emotions and the outpouring of sympathy.” Three neighbors in their Persimmon subdivision in Florence – Amberly Jackson, Nancy Longshore and Peggy Foster – bought 200 flags and put them on mailboxes and along sidewalks throughout the neighborhood in Campbell’s honor.

Anthony “Tony” Campbell, a Cincinnati police officer and Kentucky air guardsman who was killed in Afghanistan, is shown with wife Emily; stepson Devin Ruberg, 11, daughter Jordan, 7, and son Ryker, 2. School student, came up with plans for a 20-foot flagpole and plaque honoring Campbell at the subdivision’s entrance. “When I heard about Anthony it kind of hit me hard, because our whole neighborhood is so close,” Longshore said. Becker said there has been a

nonstop flow of people offering condolences, bringing food and offering to help. One neighbor volunteered to help Campbell’s children get outfits for the funeral on Dec. 22. “Our neighborhood is absolutely amazing,” Becker said. Becker described Campbell, a

former pipefitter who’d worked a few months as a Cincinnati police officer before his deployment in October, as “a fun-loving guy who likes to cut it up and have a few beers with the neighbors when he’s here.” She said the Air Force Reservist was gone a lot because of his work and his Air National Guard duty in Louisville. “He sacrificed some of his time with his family to do what in his heart he was driven to do,” Becker said of Campbell’s dual responsibilities as a cop and a military man. Becker praised Campbell – a bomb technician whose job was to disarm explosive devices found by troops and villagers – for his courage. “I am proud of him that he was not afraid,” she said. “He didn’t want to be pushing papers. He always kept pushing further to accomplish what he wanted to do. Not a lot of men have that courage, strength and determination to go over there and protect our freedoms like that,” said Becker. Becker said Emily Campbell talked to her husband the day before he died. During the call he had also talked with his son Ryker. “We’re all going to help her through it. We’ll be here for her as long as she needs it.”

law. Their office recently did a food and supply drive they shipped out to Afghanistan for Campbell Dec. 4. “I’m sure he never got it,” Sunderhaus said. Sunderhaus was glad he could come and honor the man he’d learned about through his coworker. “He was a very, very dedicated public servant and a dedicated family man,” he said. Before joining the Cincinnati Police Department, Campbell worked with Bruce Goins, 43, Delhi Township, Ohio, and Dennis Sullivan, 45 of Bridgetown, Ohio, as a pipe fitter. Both played softball with Campbell. “He was a fun guy,” Goins said. Along with the fun, Campbell was someone you could always depend on, Sullivan said. “He’d do anything for you,” he said.

Dignitaries from the community were also in attendance to pay their respects such as Florence Mayor Diane Whalen and Boone County Schools Superintendent Randy Poe. But in the end, the day was still about a family who lost a loved one. Bill Holcombe, 55, of Batavia, Ohio, is Campbell’s uncle. Holcombe said he and his wife used to take Campbell to the circus and different places. Holcombe said Campbell was a great kid who was always helping others. He said his nephew joined the military “because he believed in what he was doing. Like I said, he wanted to help others.” Campbell was to be buried at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery in Williamstown. “No one expects to lose someone this close but that’s the price we pay for war,” Holcombe said.

Before the doors opened at 9 a.m. Tuesday to begin the visitation of Air Force Reservist Tech Sgt. Anthony Campbell Jr., the lobby of Florence Baptist Church at Mt. Zion was full of visitors wishing to pay their respects to a fallen hero. “I know it will have a massive impact (for the family),” said Lerry Eitnier, 34, of Burlington. Eitnier is a coworker of Campbell’s mother. “I wanted to support his family,” he said. Campbell, 35, died Dec. 15 after being injured from an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. He was a 1992 graduate of Boone County High School in Florence. His military career began in June 1992 when he enlisted in the Air Force. He later left the Air Force and joined the National Guard. He worked and became a member of the Pipe Fitters Union Local No. 392. He was a recruit for the Cincinnati Police Department in June 2008 and was later assigned to the district that covers downtown. Survivors include his wife Emily, stepson Devin, his daughter Jordan and their son Ryker. While decorated for Christmas, the mood was somber at the large church. A line of mourners formed inside the church’s lobby, leading inside the sanctuary. Campbell’s casket was in front of the church’s stage. A video screen behind

Some of the young sailors they adopted went on to become admirals. “Desert Storm (in 1991) was when I started with the ground troops,” she said. Today, there are almost 4,000 sailors, soldiers and astronauts on her list. “Some of the kids I’m taking care of now I took care of their fathers and their grandfathers.” Mom and Pop Kaye won many awards and citations for their efforts.

Senator proposes texting ban By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

John Schickel, Florence resident Barbara Crume and Sarah Kahmann of Burlington and former past president, stand inside the clubhouse of Triple Crown Country Club.

A state senator from Louisville has prefiled a bill for next year’s session of the General Assembly that would make it illegal to send text messages while driving. Under the measure proposed by Democratic state Sen. Denise Harper Angel, a person operating a motor vehicle would not be allowed to write, send or read text messages using a personal communication device. The messages include e-mail and instant messages. Florence Police Capt. John McDermond said text messaging by drivers is a huge problem. He said the problem for law enforcement is not having the law to try to prevent people from doing it. He said it’s a hazard not only to people who are driving texting but others on the road who are involved in accidents caused by people who are texting. McDermond said from a law enforcement standpoint, a state ban on on texting while driving would be a good idea.

After Nov. 1, 2010, violators would receive a $100 fine for the first offense and between $100 and $300 for each subsequent offense. If a violator causes a motor vehicle accident, the fine is $200 to $600. “It’s hard to prove exactly how many accidents are caused by text messaging but obviously accidents are caused by that. It is a problem and right now we don’t have any authority or recourse ... for people who do cause accidents by text messaging,” he said. Boone County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Tom Scheben said he would suggest that text messaging while operating a motor vehicle is already banned and would be banned under the careless driving statute. “Now, but do all district court judges agree with me on that, I don’t know,” he said, adding that evidence is out there that it is definitely a distraction and more so than looking down and adjusting the radio.

Exemptions from the proposed ban include using a global positioning system feature of a personal communication device and entering a phone number to make a phone call. Text messages would be permitted to summon medical help, report illegal activity, to prevent an injury to a person or property and to contact a public safety agency. So far 18 states and the District of Columbia ban all drivers from texting. That includes Oregon and New Hampshire whose laws take effect on Jan. 1. Before Nov. 1, 2010, violators would receive only a warning. After Nov. 1, 2010, violators would receive a $100 fine for the first offense and between $100 and $300 for each subsequent offense. If a violator causes a motor vehicle accident, the fine is $200 to $600. “Communicating through electronic devices has become important in our daily lives but drivers need to understand the dangers of texting while driving,” Angel said in a statement. The General Assembly’s regular session starts Tuesday, Jan. 5.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Department would receive $340,000 in federal money to purchase new cameras for patrol vehicles under an omnibus spending bill Congress has approved. U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office said he secured funding for more than $48 million in projects for Kentucky in the bill. “This request will fund new technology, allowing the deputies to continue to safely serve the people of Boone County,” McConnell said in a statement. Boone County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Tom Scheben said old cruisers have the camera mounted up by the rear view mirror and they would actually record on VHS in the trunk. The money will be used to buy new digital video cameras and the computer hardware to store the images, he said.

Some of the patrol cars already have digital video recorders and the new federal funding should enable the sheriff’s department to outfit the rest of them. The bill contains money for two other Northern Kentucky organizations. The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky will receive $1.85 million to purchase six new buses. “Oh, we’re ecstatic. We’re certainly grateful to both (U.S. Rep. Geoff) Davis and McConnell who work very hard for us and have worked again to secure this funding for us,” TANK spokeswoman Gina Douthat said. “It’s definitely critical for our bus replacement program.” McConnell’s office said Northern Kentucky University will get $2.4 million to purchase technology and equipment to enhance its College of Informatics.

NKU said Davis secured $350,000 in funding to help provide the technology needed to create the lab for its e-health initiative in the College of Informatics. The university is also getting $200,000 that U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning secured for its Sky Dome project whose goal is to increase the number of students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, NKU said. “Whether it’s for education, economic development or supporting our men and women in uniform, I will continue to use my seniority in the United States Senate to help secure funding on behalf of Kentucky’s priorities,” McConnell said in the statement. A full list of the projects for Kentucky that McConnell’s office announced can be found at http://is.gd/5n20u . President Barack Obama needs to sign the bill for it to become law.

Another lawyer wants judge seat By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

The list of candidates seeking a judicial post for Boone and Gallatin counties is getting even longer. Attorney Keith McMain of Burlington has filed for district court judge in Division 1 of the state’s 54th Judicial Circuit currently held by Stephen Huddleston of Warsaw. “I have spent the majority of my legal career practicing before the district court and have thoroughly enjoyed my time in court,” McMain said in an e-mail. “I have always felt a calling to the judiciary and after 20 years of practicing law, I feel that I possess the experi-

ence, knowledge and demeanor necessary to serve effectively as a judge.” Huddleston has said he would file after the first of the year. Gov. Steve Beshear appointed Huddleston in September to replace Judge Michael Collins who resigned in 2008 to join the senior judges program. Huddelston is a former Gallatin County attorney. Other candidates who have filed are assistant Boone County attorneys Jeff Smith of Union and Marcia Thomas of Hebron. Union resident Rick Brueggemann, an attorney in private practice, has also officially filed. McMain is currently a partner in the firm Noyes,

McMain & Hegge in Florence. McMain said he was one of three names the state’s Judicial Nominating Commission sent to Beshear to fill Collins’ seat. The race is non-partisan. McMain said he has been a lifelong Republican since he was 18. He is a former member of the Boone County Republican Party Executive Committee member and a precinct captain. He has resigned from both of those positions. The race will be on the Democratic, Republican and non-partisan ballots in the May 2010 primary. The top two candidates will then appear on the November general election ballot. The term is four years.

Arrest for burglary

Florence Police arrested Ryan Kirby, 39, Florence, in connection with a burglary at Stafford Jewelers, 7649 Mall Road.

Kirby was charged with theft ($10,000 or more), thirddegree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief and possession of burglary tools. Around 1:10 a.m. Dec. 16, officers responded to a burglar alarm at the store. An unoccupied car on an adjacent lot was found with its motor on. A side window had been broken. As officers positioned themselves around the store’s perimeter, a man came through the broken window wearing a ski mask, gloves and carrying a duffle bag, police said. Numerous jewelry items were found in the bag with the estimated value at more than $180,000.

resource officer, arrested Sears after he repeatedly tried to get the seventh-grader released from class, deputies said. The sheriff’s office says Sears first showed up at about 10:15 a.m. posing as the girl’s uncle and telling a receptionist the girl’s mother had been involved in an accident. When the receptionist refused to release the girl, Sears reportedly went to an adjacent business and called the school identifying himself as an uncle on the girl’s emergency contact list and gave permission for her to be released to Sears. The receptionist then notified Curry, who apprehended Sears as he was approaching school property. The sheriff’s office said Curry determined the two had met on a telephone chat line

Boone County Property Valuation Administrator Cindy Rich and Commissioner Cathy Flaig are asking Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway’s office for an opinion regarding how property tax rates are calculated. At issue is the compensating tax rate. That’s the rate that produces approximately the same amount of revenue from real property (land, homes, buildings) as the previous year excluding new and personal property (items such as inventory that businesses have). The state allows local taxing districts to adopt a real property rate that produces 4 percent more rev-

enue than the compensating rate (excluding new property) without it being subject to voter recall. The request says the county and some other tax districts include personal property assessments when calculating the compensating rate. “Where rate disparities exist between real property tax rates (that are lower) and personal property rates (that are higher) and personal property assessments are included in the calculation of the compensating tax rate, the rate is improperly adjusted upward,” the request said. “This results in an increase of the real property rate greater than 4 percent without triggering (the) provision for recall.”

El Mariachi

Rick Brueggemann, the attorney for Rich and Flaig, said they are just asking Conway to clarify what the definition of the compensating tax rate means and whether it’s proper to include personal property in it or not. Brueggemann said if local governments don’t correct their formula, they are opening themselves up to a challenge from the taxpayers, meaning a lawsuit. Conway’s office told Brueggemann in a letter he is entitled to an opinion. But because of low staffing, it’s unlikely he will receive an opinion before May 30, 2010. Also, more time might be needed depending on the complexity of the request, the attorney general’s office said.

Ryle group gives ER children’s area

jbduke@nky.com

A visit to the hospital may have become more pleasant for children. As this year’s service project, the Ryle Future Business Leaders of America created a recreation area for children at the St. Elizabeth Healthcare Florence Emergency Department. “We were looking for a way to help our community,” said senior Julia Dubis. Through various fundraisers, the group was able to raise about $7,000 since the beginning of the school year, which led to a a roughly 10 feet by 14 feet room full of toys, coloring books, a flat panel TV for cartoons and an XBOX 360. While the FBLA had big plans, they weren’t as big as the final result, Dubis said. “This was beyond what we expected,” she said. Aside from having the room created, the FBLA wants to stay

involved with the recreation room, and presented a $1,000 check for upkeep of the room at the Dec. 11 grand opening. “We still have the volunteering, which will be more fun,” Dubis said. Members of the FBLA will staff the room from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays to help maintain the room and interact with the children there. “This will have a lasting impact on everyone who comes through that door,” said St. Elizabeth Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Chris Carle. When the FBLA approached St. Elizabeth, they were excited but didn’t know what to expect, said Emergency Department Nurse Manager Ben Brooks. “I wasn’t sure of the scope of the project,” Brooks said. The new room is a vast improvement over what children formerly had: a table and a TV, he said. “It was neat to see the kids come together,” Brooks said.

When he became the University of Kentucky’s 11th president in 2001, Lee T. Todd Jr. said he envisioned UK’s campus “stretching from Pikeville to Paducah.” “The Commonwealth is UK’s campus,” Todd said. It’s a vision that UK has taken to heart, as evidenced by the fact that the university’s scientists are conducting research in every one of Kentucky’s 120 counties. That includes Boone County, where UK Center for Applied Energy Research scientists are testing ways to develop commercial uses for fly ash from coal burned in electricity-generating plants. But that’s not the only way UK continually touches the lives of Boone County residents. The university is educating 597 young Boone Countians in the 2009-2010 academic year, assisting business people, advising homemakers and offering guidance on health care. One hundred fifty-eight Boone Countians came to UK as a fresh-

man in August, joining one of the university’s brightest and most diverse first-year classes ever. “I’m impressed by the way UK continues to improve the quality and diversity of our student body, particularly with the addition of students like those from Boone County,” Todd said. “We once again increased both the number of incoming freshmen and their average ACT score. “What’s most exciting to me is that I feel that all of these increases can be tied to the quality of our faculty and staff and the unique, world-class educational experience those individuals consistently provide to our students.” Boone County already has 2,215 residents who are UK graduates. Of those, 43 are physicians, 28 are dentists, 52 are lawyers and 233 are engineers. The county also relies on professionals at UK HealthCare to treat medical conditions. In the fiscal year ending in June 2009, Boone Countians visited the UK

Meanwhile, Boone County farmers, homemakers and regular citizens relied on College of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service agents Jerry Brown, Kyle Comley, Steve Conrad, Christy Eastwood, Michael Dean Klahr, Diane Mason and Katie Smallwood for information designed to improve the quality of their lives and health. UK’s future economic impact also will extend into Boone County, as coming generations seek their degrees both on the campus in Lexington and on the Internet via Kentucky’s Commonwealth Virtual University. Better earnings, a more educated work force and a higher tax base – the evidence of real prosperity – can be expected.

Avoid common student financial aid mistakes When it comes to finding ways to pay for college, many parents and students may end up paying more than necessary because they didn’t avoid some common mistakes. Follow these tips from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) to make sure you get all the help you need. Believe it or not, many students miss out on money for college simply because they don’t apply for it. Make sure you apply for every scholarship you can, because scholarships are free money you don’t have

to pay back. And even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for federal student aid programs, you should still submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as FAFSA. To learn how to plan and prepare for higher education and to access the FAFSA, go to www.GoHigherKY.org. For more information about Kentucky scholarships and grants, visit www.kheaa.com; write KHEAA, P.O. Box 798, Frankfort, KY 40602-0798; or call (800) 928-8926.

The public now has the chance to select their favorite voting slogan to be used in the upcoming 2010 election cycle. Students across Kentucky have submitted potential voting slogans as part of the Office of the Secretary of State Voter Slogan and Essay Contest sponsored by the Kentucky Education Association, KEA Retired and the University of Kentucky Scripps Howard First Amendment Center. To vote for your favorite, visit: www.sos.ky.gov/sloganpoll by Jan. 29, 2010. “Our sponsors and teachers across the commonwealth have allowed thousands of Kentucky students to become further engaged in important civic discussions via this outstanding contest,” said Secretary of State Trey Grayson. “I encourage all Kentuckians to support these young people by voting for your favorite slogan. We look forward to using the 2010 slogan to help market the 2010 elections!”

Although this is the 20th year of the contest, this is the first time that citizens will be able to vote for the winners online. In previous years, various civics groups were judges for the contest. The slogans were narrowed down to the top 20 choices and are displayed without the name of the submitting student in order to have votes cast on the merit of the slogan. The decision is an important one not only because the slogan will be seen on election materials across Kentucky but because it carries prizes of up to a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond for winning slogans. The contest was open to Kentucky sixth- through eighth-graders. “In order for students to become more engaged in our society and eventually become active citizens, we must take civic education directly into the classroom. Activities such as the Voter Slogan and Essay Contests allow teachers to bring civics education to life while

allowing them to focus on the current Core Content required by the Kentucky Department of Education,” Grayson said. The slogan contest is part of the Civic Literacy Initiative of Kentucky and is required under Kentucky statute. CLIK is a multi-year effort that will determine a strategy for enhancing long-term civic engagement and civic literacy within the commonwealth. As part of that effort, CLIK released a report, Rediscovering Democracy: An Agenda for Action, that calls upon the state to take tangible steps to increase civic literacy. The report, which details four principle recommendations and scores of additional recommendations, was developed from the work of the Kentucky Workgroup on Civic Literacy and the CLIK. For more information about CLIK or to find out how to get your school, organization or family involved in any civic activities taking place in Kentucky, visit: www.civics.ky.gov.

‘Tidal wave of reform’ focus of meeting FRANKFORT – An indepth look at what Kentucky’s new education commissioner has called “a tidal wave of reform” was the focus of the recent fall meeting of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. The words of Education Commissioner Dr. Terry Holliday describe several key developments that are expected to have a significant impact on the way Kentucky prepares its children to succeed as adults. The developments coincide with the recent arrival in Kentucky of two new education leaders: Holliday at the Kentucky Department of Education and Dr. Robert King, president of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education. King and Holliday emphasized to the committee Nov. 2 that they are working collaboratively to accelerate the improvement of Kentucky’s schools in response to state and federal initiatives. Robert F. Sexton, the committee’s executive director, pointed out that such collaboration is both note-

worthy and unprecedented. “This is the first time we’ve had both the commissioner of education and the president of the postsecondary education council address the committee at the same time,” he said. The committee’s specific areas of interest included a groundbreaking piece of legislation enacted by the 2009 General Assembly, Senate Bill 1, and a federal funding initiative known as Race to the Top. Here is a closer look, based on presentations to the committee from Holliday, King, Rhonda Sims, director of the division of assessment support for the state Department of Education and David Cook, the department’s project manager for Race to the Top: • Some $4.25 billion is available nationally under the Race to the Top program but how much any individual state, such as Kentucky, could receive will depend on how many grants the federal government awards. • Kentucky will need new strategies to improve badly failing schools to

improve its prospects for receiving the federal funds. • In addition to turning around low-performing schools, the federal criteria emphasize how states assure quality teaching, use data systems to measure student progress and develop and use rigorous standards and tests. Senate Bill 1 has improved Kentucky’s position due to its mandate for new standards, testing and other requirements. • The final federal guidelines are expected soon, and they could include a requirement that states allow the creation of charter-like schools. This would require legislation in Kentucky, which does not have a law on the books allowing charter schools, but state education officials are not considering a comprehensive charter-school program. • Although state testing will continue while a new assessment system is developed under Senate Bill 1 for implementation in 2012, schools’ scores on the state test will not be part of a state accountability system during the interim.

Ryle graduate plays big role for Navy

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Vince Murray’s first two and a half seasons were nothing to write home about. But there has been a lot of positive literature in the past two months for Murray, the 2007 Ryle High School graduate. Murray, a junior at the Naval Academy, has become an integral part of the offense for the Navy football team. The Midshipmen take a 9-4 record into the Texas Bowl against Missouri Dec. 31 in Houston. Murray played in two games combined his first two seasons at

Navy, but stepped into the starting lineup midway through this season after an injury to the incumbent starter at fullback. Murray took that opportunity and ran with it, literally, rushing for 925 yards on 5.4 yards per carry. That included a career high 175 yards in a win over Wake Forest and 158 in an upset at Notre Dame. In all, Murray had four consecutive 100-yard games, the first running back at Navy to do that since former NFL starter and Milford, Ohio native Napoleon McCallum in 1983. Murray and his teammates got possibly their biggest exposure of the year Dec. 12, beating Army 17-

3 in their traditional nationally televised military showcase to end the regular season. “It’s definitely been a great year,” Murray said. “We got to play at Ohio State, beating Wake Forest and Notre Dame. Nothing is ever better than the Army game. It’s a great atmosphere. Both teams always come out and play hard every game.” Murray rushed for more than 1,700 yards to lead Ryle to the Class 4A state final in 2006. He then went to follow in his father John’s footsteps, going to the Navy to become a pilot. Navy runs a triple option offense. Murray and quarterback

Ricky Dobbs have been the main ballcarriers in recent games. “Ryle was a totally different offense,” Murray said. “It was a big adjustment. You study so much film when you get into college. You get used to a different style of play.” A typical weekday for Murray starts at 6:45 a.m. and includes up to five classes and football practice. He won’t begin pilot-specific training until next year. His current schedule eases off two weeks before the bowl game when exams ended and the team started preparing for Missouri. “It will be great playing in a bowl game,” Murray said. “The weather will be great.”

Three Jaguars win conference titles By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Cooper High School wrestling team is determined to become one of the best in Northern Kentucky. The Jaguars were determined Dec. 19 to bounce back from a sub-par outing several days earlier. The determination produced a third-place finish out of 11 teams in the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference championships at Newport High School. “As a second-year school we’ve come a long way,” freshman Lane Jones said. “Last year we got top four and today we got top three. That was our goal this season.” The meet format was individual weight class pools with wins turning into team points. The Jaguars won three weight class championships, Jones at 140, senior T.J. Bates at 145, and senior Matt Brewer at 152. Bates, a three-time state qualifier, twice with Conner, dominated his bracket with first-period pins and one technical fall. Brewer, Coop-

6 decision over the runnerup in his class. “It was a good day. I had a lot of fun,” Bates said. “We all wrestled well as a team. Wednesday we didn’t wrestle well but we made up for it this weekend.” Cooper also had two runner-ups in Andy Gilliland and Trey Beal. Beal is a first-year senior in the program. First-year head coach Dave Johnson likes his mixture of youth and experience. He said a key for the Jaguars’ success is developing the feeder program at the middle-school level. Currently, Cooper has a successful middle school team, which combines students

Boone, Conner lead bowling divisions Boys standings

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Northern Kentucky High School Bowling Conference is in full striking form this season. Twenty area high schools participate in bowling, which is not sanctioned by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. About 60 schools statewide participate, and many of them will be at Super Bowl Erlanger for the state championships March 13. New this year is a singles championship in addition to the traditional team titles during state weekend. NKY teams bowl 12 matches for a possible seven points per match. The points come from a combination of four-person team games and Baker system games, in which five bowlers roll two frames apiece in a single game. Here is a look at the area through Week 4 (Dec. 10). Week 5 statistics were not available at press time. Action resumes Jan. 7 after the holidays.

District 1: Boone Co. 20.5-7.5, Cooper 10-18, Conner 9-19, Ryle 1-27. District 2: Dixie Heights 23-5, Campbell County 217, Highlands 20-8, Scott 16-12, Cov. Catholic 13-15. District 3: Brossart 24-4, Newport 24-4, NewCath 13-15, Dayton 12.5-15.5, Bellevue 9-19. District 4: Holy Cross 253, St. Henry 12-16, WaltonVerona 7-21, Lloyd 6-22, Villa Madonna 0-28.

Conner, Cooper to play in Lloyd holiday tournament By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Holmes High School boys’ basketball team has won the Lloyd Memorial Holiday Invitational the previous two years of the tourney’s existence. The Bulldogs return to the 16-team field for the third time, but this time as defending state champs as well, which can only help the tournament, said Mike Key.

Key, the fourth-year head coach at Lloyd and first-year athletic director, will welcome Holmes and 14 other teams to the school campus for the major tournament. Ten of the entrants are Northern Kentucky teams, six downstate. “It’s a pretty solid field,” Key said. “We feel this tournament helps prepare you for the big one at the end of the year. I think (Holmes) is a good draw. When they’re

successful, people will come out and see them. We have some solid teams in the area coming.” Conner has been in the tourney all three years. The Cougars were 3-1 in last year’s matchups and 2-2 in 2007. Cooper High School will make its tourney debut this season. Key said the field has some of Northern Kentucky’s better teams and the state’s leading scorer last season in Villa Madonna guard Blake Bryan. Another Bryan, Lexington Bryan Station High School, leads

the downstate programs coming to Erlanger. The tourney starts Sunday, Dec. 27 and runs through Dec. 30. Each team will play each day for four games overall. Four of the 32 games will be at Tichenor Middle School next door to Lloyd. Admission is $6 for adults, $4 students. An alltourney pass is available for $20 on the tourney’s first day. Sunday, Dec. 27 : 1 p.m., Lewis County vs. Villa Madonna; 2 p.m., Campbell Co. vs. Beechwood (at

After a one-year absence, the Villa Madonna Holiday Classic will return to the Villa Madonna Academy campus. VMA head coach and athletic director Don Shields decided not to have the tournament last year when his hoops team was invited to another holiday tourney, the Queen of the Bluegrass showcase at East Carter High School. The 18th VMA classic will be Dec. 28-30, and will feature seven teams including the host Blue Lightning. The field originally had an eighth team, but Cordia dropped out shortly before the season began and Shields was not able to get a replacement on short notice. To adjust, VMA will not play on the first day of the tourney, but will play two games each of the next two days. The games will not be back-to-back, Shields said. The Lightning are off to the best start in program history, going 6-0 heading into a Dec. 18 game at Lloyd. VMA is averaging a steady 57 points per game, scoring at least 50 each time

and going into the 60’s four times. The traditionally stout VMA defense is doing better than usual. While the team has allowed fewer than 40 points per game often during Shields’ tenure, they have lowered that to just 25 a contest so far in 2009. “We’re not letting teams take a lot of shots,” Shields said. “We’ve been playing real well. The girls have really been getting after it.” Shields was most impressed with a 50-15 win over defending conference champ Ludlow, which has lost several key players from last year to graduation or injury. VMA’s defense kept Ludlow standout guard Courtney Turner entirely off the scoreboard. Senior veterans Chelsea Case, Amy Kreutzer and Kim Schroer have led the scoring for VMA this year, and junior point guard Kiley Stoll has stepped up her game this year, as has the fifth starter, senior Morgan Cook. “My main three girls have just been phenomenal,” Shields said. “Kiley Stoll has made it that much better. She was a good defensive player last year, didn’t shoot much.

Now she’s scoring more. That’s been a pleasant surprise. (Cook) doesn’t score a lot but she’s been very aggressive.” Schroer averaged 14.5 points per game in the first six and scored her 1,000th career point in the second game of the year. Case averages 13.5 points and 9.8 rebounds a game. Kreutzer averages 12.2 points and 6.2 boards. Stoll is averaging nine points a contest. Kreutzer is on pace to get her 1,000th career point in early January, and Case could reach that milestone late in the season. The tourney schedule: Monday, Dec. 28: 2 p.m, Jackson County vs. Holmes; 3:45 p.m., Powell County vs. St. Patrick; 5:30 p.m., Williamstown vs. Bracken County. Tuesday, Dec 29: 2 p.m., Jackson-Holmes loser vs. Powell-St. Patrick loser; 3:45 p.m., Villa Madonna vs. Williamstown-Bracken loser; 5:30 p.m., JacksonHolmes winner vs. PowellSt. Patrick winner; 7:15 p.m., Villa Madonna vs. Williamstown-Bracken winner. Wednesday, Dec 30: First game is 10 a.m., championship game is 3:15 p.m.

How to avoid extra holiday pounds

The holidays can be a scary time for individuals who are trying to lose or maintain their weight. Year after year the season not only brings holiday cheer, but holiday pounds! As the pants start to tighten, you tell yourself that you will take the weight back off after the New Year. However, weight loss resolutions are not always successful and you are stuck with leftover holiday pounds in June. The best solution would be to avoid weight gain altogether … but how? Follow the tips below to avoid weight gain and stay healthy this holiday season. 1. Start your New Year’s Resolutions early: Most individuals set at least one New Year’s Resolution that involves exercise or diet. Take time to sit down and write out ideas for resolutions. Choose one or two important goals and post them on the refrigerator to remind yourself what you are working toward. The holidays can bring more time off work and this may be a golden opportunity to jump start exercise and healthy meal planning. 2. Keep a food and fitness jour nal: Knowledge is power and a journal will reveal all of your dirty little secrets (or extra nibbles in the day). Journaling is often motivating when it relates to exercise, it can be fun to write down all that you have accomplished in the day. 3. Pre-plan and prepare: Why is it that we are willing to write out a holiday list, but writing out a meal plan takes too much time? Before leaving your house, try

preparing a couple healthy snacks to take with you and avoid stopping at fast food restaurants or shopping mall food courts. You Lindsey could save hunHouse, R.D. dreds of calories by taking 10 Community just minutes in the Recorder morning to plan guest your day. 4. Love it or columnist leave it: The holidays bring parties, family gatherings, and food everywhere you turn. The trick to keeping your calories under control is choosing the foods that are truly special to you. Too often we eat a gingerbread cookie because it’s only available once a year, not because we truly love gingerbread cookies. Leave behind the foods that you don’t absolutely love. Try rating the foods available and if it’s not a 10, leave it. 5. Small changes count: Take every opportunity to make small changes in your day to reduce calories and increase physical activity. Avoid random handfuls of holiday nuts, have a small glass of wine instead of eggnog, take smaller helpings, and increase your daily movement. One little change does not prevent weight gain, however multiple small changes could be the secret to avoiding the holiday pounds. Lindsey House, R.D., is a dietitian at the Surgical Weighit Loss Center at St. Elizabeth Healthcare Florence.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

“Midnight Christmas Eve service, lighting of the candles and singing Christmas carols.” Duke

“Candlelight Christmas at First Church of Christ. The tradition, the beautiful music, friends gathered to worship. The beauty of the birth of Christ always resonates in the message. I also enjoy the family being home and the Christmas stockings.” G.G.

“For 23 years our family of six has opened the doors of our house on Christmas morning for a dropin breakfast. After we open our gifts, my husband and I and our four kids quickly clean our mess then commence cooking breakfast for family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone who just wants to drop in! It’s our way of giving back. One exciting year we had a motorcycle gang come (OK, that was all the truck drivers from my work!). Last year we were moving from Georgia here and couldn’t do it. My children were so disappointed and said it was just not Christmas without our community breakfast. So, now we are starting it in Kentucky!” J.K.T.

“Watching all of the Christmas specials on TV. I always try to record all of my favorites and watch them every year: A Garfield Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and the list goes on. What makes them special is that they are timeless classics, which only become more antique as the years go on but never lose their charm. Sitting on my couch, watching these by the tree brings back such wonderful childhood memories and I do feel like a kid again, just for a brief moment. Merry Christmas!” C.S., Erlanger

What is your favorite Christmas or holiday tradition? What makes it special?

“One of my favorite holiday traditions occurs every December once our daughter is home from college when my niece and nephew (ages 6 and 8) come over and we all decorate a Christmas tree for the birds. We spread peanut butter and birdseed on bagels, string popcorn and cranberries, and fill mesh bags with sunflower seeds. Once all the ornaments have been made, we carry everything outside and decorate the evergreen tree in our front yard. We’ve been decorating the bird tree for several years now, and we all enjoy making the treats as much as the birds and other wildlife enjoy eating them.” Lisa Williams “Our three kids are now in their 40s, but when they were little we made a joke out of the fact that we didn’t have any ‘holiday traditions,’ because it seemed that this was almost a requirement for people. So we decided to make up our own tradition. It involved my wife and I holding a broom between us, and letting our little kids hang

upside down from the broom handle by their legs. That made us feel a lot more ‘normal,’ and we got a good chuckle out of it. (I have always tended to be a little irreverent about certain things.) :-)” Bill B. “Going to NYC a week or so before for Christmas to visit with my daughter. We love shopping, sightseeing, all the outdoor Christmas markets, and the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall! Then she comes home to spend Christmas with us. J.B. “The 24-hour ‘Christmas Story’ movie marathon starting Christmas Eve. Can’t ever have too much of that movie! “Happy holidays!” A.D.Z. “My wife and I both turned 60 this year. Our ‘children’ are now 27 and 25, but we all still gather in front of the fireplace on Christmas Eve (usually around midnight after our late church service) and we read ‘The Night Before

Christmas’ and ‘The Polar Express.’ It’s a great tradition and one which we all truly enjoy, even as we grow older, because its roots were so firmly planted many years ago. “What a blessing to be able to share an intimate moment like that, year after year, knowing that your children still appreciate being together as a family to celebrate the holidays.” M.M. “Our son, Steve, comes down from Cleveland and it’s about the only time we have our five grandchildren together at the same time.” J.F.

Technology, caring marks animal hospital By Patricia A. Scheyer Community Recorder Contributor

The Hebron Animal Hospital was founded in 1977 by Dr. Paul Altemuehle, but Dr. Gregory Lloyd purchased the practice 10 years ago, and has supervised the move to its current location. For the last three years the hospital has been at 3505 North Bend Road in Hebron, and the spacious building houses state-of-theart equipment such as a digital X-ray machine, therapy and surgery lasers and an ultrasound machine, to name a few, so that pets receive the best care possible. “We are a compassionate, competent, comprehensive care practice,” said Dr.

Lloyd. “We are open six days a week and we have six doctors on staff. We offer extensive dentistry, internal medicine and orthopedic care, plus we do surgery every day on the premises.” The practice accepts all animals except farm animals, and they don’t accept reptiles or birds. “We are very good at many things,” said Dr. Lloyd. “We have the best technology around, so we can diagnose and treat most any disease. Plus, we are all animal lovers here.” The office is currently accepting new patients. To make an appointment with any of the doctors, contact the office at 859-689-4700.

Christmas is too big to fit our minds or this world Ask a Christian to give a short statement explaining the meaning of Christmas and he or she will say “God became man.” Agnostics of today would quibble with us and say, as Sigrid Undset writes, “We can join you in the stable if the little Boy in the crib is a symbol of the longing in each one of us for something beyond the bounds of sense or as presentiments of immortality – then we can remain with the shepherds in the stable. We can worship Mary’s child, we moderns, as a symbol or a type, as the great Teacher, a genius, a superman. But as God in Man? Mary, could you have brought forth Him who created you? Can you expect us to believe this sort of thing?”

Yes, Christians do believe the truth of this theological statement and have celebrated it for centuries. But its astounding claim is staunchly denied by those who choose to live with a merely physical consciousness. To them the newborn baby named Jesus is acceptable only as a symbol. But what is being proposed for belief by Christians is too far outside the credulity of many people. This doesn’t mean, however, that all Christian believers grasp its full impact. Too many keep their minds off the amazing implications of this truth and focus on the external factors that bolster the belief: that it is revealed in

scripture, defined by religion, theologically defended, and carries the tradition of centuries. All of this inspires their minds into an assent that says, “Yes, the child is God.” But if this Christian assent is casual and halfhearted, then, as John Shea warns, the unbeliever and the believer find themselves in very similar positions. The unbelievers can dismiss the truth too quickly, and it does not lead them to a grand spiritual vision. On the other hand, believers can accept the truth too quickly, and so it dose not lead them into a deeper jawdropping spiritual vision. One group will not let the strangeness in, and the other lets the strangeness in

without pondering it. “Mary gave birth to the one who created her,” said Shea, “is truly a strange statement … It can be a catalyst that shifts physical consciousness to a wider perspective. A powerful truth of Christmas is encoded in these symbolic words. We can tame them and make them useless both by mindless rejection and mindless acceptance.” What a stupendous and fulfilling mystery Christmas is! Yet often it grows tame and tired in the hearts of adult Christians. They see the joy of Christmas as directed chiefly to children. To help revive jaded adult minds that say of every Christmas, “been there, done that” let’s ask a new-hearer of the awesome

story to tell us again: “They were so poor,” said the little 5-year-old girl, “that they only had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to eat, and they went a long way from home without getting lost. The lady rode a donkey, and the man walked, and the baby was inside the lady. They had to stay in a stable with an ox and an ass (hee-hee) but the Three Rich Men found them because a star lighted on the roof. Shepherds came and you could pet the sheep but not feed them.’ “Then the baby was born. AND DO YOU KNOW WHO HE WAS?” … And here her quarterlike eyes inflated to silverdollar eyes and she excitedly whispered … “THE BABY WAS GOD.”

A n d then she jumped in the air, whirled around, dove into the sofa and buried Father Lou her head Guntzelman under the cushions – Perspectives which is the only proper response to Good News that good. News that the unimaginable God who made the universe, quarks, moonbeams, dinosaurs, angels, pets and human beings came here for you, for me. bFather Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

Never forget the importance of a written contract Too often these days consumers forget about the importance of having a written contract prior to getting any work performed around the house. The need for a contract was brought home recently to a Montgomery woman helping her daughter. Diane Byrnes was dealing with two large trees at her daughter’s home in Oakley. She was particularly concerned about the tree in the front yard. “It was struck by lightning three years ago. For a while we’ve been telling her she needed to get it taken down,” said Byrnes. “During last year’s windstorm a piece of a big limb fell on her neighbor’s house. We said, ‘This is not good, it’s too big for this small yard, and it needs to get cut

down,’ ” she said. Byrnes contacted a tree service she had seen working in the area. “I asked him if he would be able to take down these trees and he said it would be no problem. He gave me a bid of $3,500,” she said. Unfortunately, the tree service failed to give her a written contract – she just received a handshake. “He said, ‘When we do our first day’s job, I want $2,000.’ It was more than half, but everybody told me he was going to ask for a chunk of the money,” Byrnes said. Although the company was supposed to take down both trees, it just felled the smaller one in the backyard – and left all the pieces strewn throughout the yard. In addition, it failed to

grind up the tree stump as had been agreed. But the company did take the $2,000, and promised to return. More than a month later Byrnes said the company hadn’t come back despite repeated promises. “We started calling and I said, ‘When are you coming back?’ and he said, ‘I’ll be back tomorrow.’ I said, ‘OK,’ and it went on and on and on,” Byrnes said. Because her daughter’s house is in the city of Cincinnati, I told Byrnes to file a criminal complaint with the police and she did. Remember, Cincinnati regulations require companies to give a written contract detailing the work to be done, and it must include a start and completion date. In addition, the firm cannot take more than 10 per-

cent of the money upfront – except for special order items. I was able to get in touch with the tree service and the company owner told me he was unaware of the law, had not known his crew failed to complete the job, and promised to return to get the job done. Bottom line, whether or

not you live in the city of Cincinnati, I strongly recommend you get a written contract with an itemized list of the things to be done. Even if you don’t live in the city there’s no reason you can’t insist on having all the protection afforded Cincinnati residents. If the contractor won’t comply, get someone else.

Making cookies for a diabetic sweet tooth I just checked my word count and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x153;full upâ&#x20AC;? so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep the intro brief. It has been fun these last few weeks sharing holiday favorites with you. My wish for you is that this is the best Christmas ever, surrounded by family, friends, and food!

Countdown to Christmas:

Diabetic chocolate chip cookies

For those on your list who need a lower sugar treat. These freeze well. 1

2 â &#x201E;4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 â &#x201E;4 cup Splenda sugar blend

Rita Heikenfeld Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen

1 â &#x201E;4 cup f i r m l y packed Splenda b r o w n s u g a r blend 1 teas p o o n vanilla 2 large e g g s , room tem-

perature 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter, both Splendas and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually and gently beat in flour mixture. Stir in chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake just until lightly browned, 9 to 11 minutes. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overbake. Makes about 4 dozen depending upon size. Serving size: 1 cookie; calories 90; carbs 11 grams; total fat 5 grams; 1â &#x201E;2 starch, 1 fat exchanges.

Tip from Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen

Use good quality, heavy cookie sheets. Flimsy ones tend to burn cookie bottoms. If yours are like that, line with parchment paper to act as a buffer.

Pretty candy cane peppermint sauce

You may wind up with a small amount of candies

low to medium heat until smooth, stirring constantly. Most of the peppermint will melt. Let cool a bit. Pour into containers and store in the fridge. COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Ice cream with peppermint sauce garnished with crushed peppermint. that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t melt at the bottom of the pan. Just dump that bit out. Wonderful over ice cream, frozen yogurt, garnished with more crushed peppermint. 1 to 11â &#x201E;2 cups crushed peppermint candy 11â &#x201E;2 cups whipping cream l jar, 7 oz., marshmallow crĂ¨me Combine all ingredients in saucepan and cook over

For Della, a Bellevue, Ky., reader. My version of this restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite. 1 pound linguine or thin spaghetti, cooked 2 cans, 6.5 oz., each chopped or minced clams with liquid 1 generous tablespoon minced garlic or more to taste 1 â &#x201E;2 cup olive oil Up to 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional but very good) 5 anchovies, chopped very fine Chopped fresh parsley SautĂŠ garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil over medium heat just until garlic is fragrant; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it get dark and burn. Add anchovies and cook until they disintegrate. Add clams and simmer until slightly reduced, about five minutes or so. Pour over pasta and toss. Garnish with parsley.

Independent grocery of the week

Hammanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catering, Deli & Butcher, Old Winton Road, Fairfield, Ohio: Rob Hamman is more than enthused about what he does and the service this popular grocery provides for the community. Wanda Davis, a loyal reader, told me about Hammanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their honey glazed ham is just the best. No one even comes close,â&#x20AC;? she said. Rob says they use only the best hickory smoked hams from Hilltop Meat in Whitewater Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a good old-fashioned smokehouse ham with natural juices.â&#x20AC;? Rob uses his Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of a honey glaze over two decades old. There are lots of signature items available there, like Hammanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade sausages with natural casings (and yes, their hot dogs are the real thing, no fillers, just like their ham salad, which Rob says people are â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazy about.â&#x20AC;?)

Withrow Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chess pie update

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t test readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recipes and some are having trouble with the pie setting up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping reader Diane Powell, who gave me the recipe, can clarify. Also, reader Susan Foster said this recipe is not exactly like the chess pie served at the public schools then. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made most of the pies at the CPS bake shop in Walnut Hills during the years 19992007 and I have to tell you that the recipe you printed as the one CPS uses for chess pie is incorrect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CPS recipe does not contain either evaporated milk or flour; instead it calls for powdered milk and cornmeal (which is what gives the pie its unique top layer). It also calls for nutmeg and sweetened egg yolks, which came frozen in 1â &#x201E;2 gallon cartons. Somewhere I have the full-sized recipe, which made about 50.â&#x20AC;?

My version of linguine with clam sauce like Old Spaghetti Factory

What I admire is their commitment to quality, heirloom recipes. I asked Rob to give us some tips on prime rib roasts. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he told me about how he does it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use prime grade aged roasts, lifted off the rib bone, then retied on the rib with suet to seal in flavor and provide wonderful au jus. This makes for easy carving and maximum yield.â&#x20AC;? The secret? Rob rubs it with olive oil, sometimes inserts fresh garlic slivers and rubs with pepper, seasoned salt, rosemary, fresh garlic and onion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yum!â&#x20AC;?

More students will be able to participate in structured, nurturing afterschool programs managed by the R.C. Durr YMCA thanks to a $5,000 grant from the JCPenney Afterschool Fund. R.C. Durr YMCA afterschool sites are located at the RC Durr YMCA Branch and Erpenbeck Elementary and serve an average of more than 200 students. YMCA asset-based afterschool programming is provided to children and their families during the academic year and summer. Enriching activities help students to grow in positive ways through structured, hands-on experiences including crafts, language arts, health and wellness, technology skills development and tutoring/mentoring.

The grant is specifically targeted to help the YMCA provide financial assistance to new and previously enrolled students grades K-5 who otherwise wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to afford to participate. The gift is one of four given by the JCPenney Afterschool Fund to YMCA of Greater Cincinnati branches, and 287 given to YMCAs around the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The JCPenney Afterschool Fund is firmly committed to supporting youthserving organizations like the YMCA, that are dedicated to providing safe, meaningful programs during the crucial hours of 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. when studies show that youth are at greater risk of involvement in destructive behaviors,â&#x20AC;? said Jodi Gibson, president of the JCPenney Afterschool Fund.

Women’s Crisis Center receives $5,000 donation Women’s Crisis Center recently received a generous donation from the Florence Women’s Club which raised $5,000 through an annual lunch and silent auction on Sept. 15. “Women’s Crisis Center is blessed by the generosity of so many of our local community clubs and organizations,” said Martha Malloy, interim executive director of WCC. “I wish I could list them all and have a chance to publicly thank each and every one of them. However, I would like to acknowledge the Florence Women’s Club who has been providing this annual fundraiser for six years to benefit the women, children and men we serve.” A portion of the $5,000 donation will go toward The Leadership for Change Capital Campaign which was launched to raise money for the construction of the agency’s new Regional Services Center in Hebron. The Regional Services Center houses rural services counselors, advocates, public education department and volunteer services, as well as the administrative staff. “We have raised more than $2 million toward the $2.7 million goal as a result of the generosity of so many in our community,”

Raggedy Ann, Andy’s legacy lives on in Union

The Gruelles proudly display a one-of-a-kind painted barn quilt square at their Union home. The 70-year-old barn was recently moved from downtown Union under the supervision of Don Tanner. The 4-by-4 quilt square represents the heritage and love the Gruelle family has for Raggedy Ann and Andy. Harold Gruelle is a descendant of the late Johnny Gruelle, creator of the Raggedy Ann and Andy storybook characters and dolls. Tom Siler, who works with Geneva Gruelle, designed and painted the whimsical characters. The Raggedy Ann char-

acter was inspired by Johnny’s daughter, Marcella. The legend tells how Marcella found a forgotten family doll in the attic and, after taking it to her father, it fostered the idea that became a storybook legend. Johnny was a cartoonist, writer, and illustrator who was influenced by watching his daughter and using her antics as the ideas for his storylines, settings, details, and language for his rag doll tales. Andy was introduced in his second book of rag doll tales. To promote his books, according to legend, that’s when the Raggedy Ann doll came alive.

The Gruelles display a barn quilt square featuring Raggedy Ann and Andy. The Gruelle family started making the first rag dolls in their home. During this era the legend of the candy

heart emerged. Marcella died at the age of 13 just as Gruelle was receiving the final approval

by the U.S. Patent for the Raggedy Ann doll. The family was devastated by her death but Marcel-

la’s spirit has lived on in the hearts of every Raggedy Ann and Andy doll for the past 75 years.s

resource of most poison control centers states that a 50-pound child would have to ingest more than 500 poinsettia leaves to surpass an experimental dose. However, poinsettias are considered a “non-edible” plant. Some people develop skin sensitivities when exposed to these plants. Individuals might be especially sensitive to the white milky sap, called “latex,” produced when a part of the plant is broken or injured. Ingesting a plant part by accident might cause some discomfort. Active, young children, apt to put anything in their mouth, and curious cats might choke on fibrous poinsettia foliage. So a good practice is to put all non-edible plant materials, including poinsettias, out of the reach of children and pets. Although poinsettias are not poisonous, mistletoe is one popular holiday decoration that is toxic. Some sources state that the name, mistletoe, is a combination of the AngloSaxon “mistle,” the word for “dung,” and “tan,” the word for “twig.” This is because ancient people observed that mistletoe would often appear on a twig or branch where birds

had left droppings. Thus, some s o u r c e s Mike Klahr b e l i e v e “mistletoe” Community Recorder m e a n s “dung-on-aguest twig.” columnist Another source reports that its name is derived from the old Saxon word, Mistel-tan, which means “different twig.” The genus name of the common North American species (Phoradendron) literally means “tree thief.” Both refer to mistletoe as a tree parasite. Actually, it is a semi-parasitic plant that contains chlorophyll to manufacture its own food for growth and development, but it must obtain water and minerals from a host plant, usually a deciduous tree like the oak, hawthorn or apple. A massive amount of mistletoe might weaken a tree, but otherwise it is quite harmless. Mistletoe is persistent, but slow growing. Its natural lifespan is determined by the longevity of the host plant that supports it. American mistletoe is found from New Jersey southward to Florida and Texas. Live mistletoe sold during the holiday season is gathered in the wild. Mistletoe contains compounds that are toxic to humans and animals. Ingesting mistletoe can cause severe stomach cramps and diarrhea, and can be fatal in some cases. However, mistletoe berries are a common food for many bird species. Once eaten and digested, the seeds are passed and deposited by birds onto limbs to germinate and form new parasitic plants. When using mistletoe for holiday decorations, it’s wise to substitute plastic berries for the real ones to prevent potential poisonings. Remember to keep mistletoe out of the reach of children and pets if you don’t replace the real berries. The tradition of kissing under mistletoe might have originated from the Viking association of this plant with Frigga, the goddess of love, or from the ancient belief that mistletoe was related to fertility.

Tips on storing your holiday decorations Many seasonal decorations represent fond memories and often a large financial investment. To maintain your decorations and make it easier to trim your home next season, properly care for and store them. Putting holiday decorations away gives you an opportunity to “de-clutter” your home. Use the time to re-evaluate and reorganize your possessions, rather than simply putting things back in their usual places.

Eliminate things that do not pass the “use it” or “love it” test. It is easy to do this while taking down or storing this year’s decorations. Grouping together things you decide to keep will make it easier to decide where to store them. When you have finished reorganizing, follow the “one-in, one-out” rule, meaning nothing new comes in unless something old goes out, to keep your home uncluttered. Also,

make it a habit to put things away as they are used. Be sure to replace burned-out bulbs before storing tree lights, window candles and the like. Carefully clean dusty lights and ornaments. Fragile decorations should be packed and stored properly. Remove hooks and hangers from each ornament. Wrap delicate items in tissue paper; use a paper towel or wrapping paper tube to protect long orna-

ments; stack the remaining decorations on layers of tissue paper. You can store angel hair and tinsel between the tissue paper to further protect decorations. Store them in sturdy cardboard boxes, preferably containers that are shallow. Ribbons and bows require careful storage from season to season. Store them in a large plastic container or shoe box. You may want to stuff tissue paper in some bow loops. To keep

rolls of wrapping paper from being crushed or torn, store them in a long cardboard box, or an extra-long plastic container made especially for this purpose. If you reuse wreaths, store them in a large plastic bag. Apply a coat of clear acrylic spray to help preserve pine cones and other natural materials. Designate a dry area away from excessive heat for holiday storage and use the same location every

year. Take the time to discard or Diane donate any Mason decorations that have Community outlived Recorder their usefulcolumnist ness in your home. Diane Mason is county extension agent for family and consumer sciences at the Boone County Cooperative Extension Service.
