Park Hills’ small area study of Dixie Highway does not allow for the “natural expansion” of Covington Catholic High School, officials stated. CCHS principal Bob Rowe, school board member Don Stegman and attorney Todd McMurtry spoke on behalf of the school and the Diocese of Covington at the Jan. 12 Kenton County Planning Commission meeting, when the body considered adopting the study into the Kenton County Comprehensive Plan. Commission voted to table the amendment to the comprehensive plan for up to six months after hearing testimonies for and against the study in order to allow CCHS and Park Hills to come to an agreement. “You both need to have a little give and take,” said commissioner Phil Ryan. “It sounds like you’re right there.” In December the school purchased land in what the small area study calls the “core area” of Dixie Highway. The study recommends this core area be listed as a “mixed use” for residential, commercial and office development. McMurtry said two land parcels, one of which has a contract for purchase, are incorrectly designated in the core area for mixed use in the study and should be re-listed as “community facility” parcels. And though CCHS has no formal plan set down for any other expansion, McMurtry has asked that the core area’s land currently zoned residential have an allowable community facilities use for possible expansion in the future. Park Hills Mayor Michael Hellmann said there’s nothing in the plan that keeps CCHS from growth. “Here’s our vision of what we think could happen. There’s nothing specific that excludes Covington Catholic from expanding. There’s nothing specifically that makes that a commercial district. It says that is a land-use concept. We’d like this land to be used in this fashion,” he said.

SD-1 storm sewer transfer making progress By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Sanitation District No. 1 is three quarters of the way toward getting three counties and 33 cities to transfer their public storm sewer systems to the district. Mike Apgar, government relations official for SD-1, gave an update on the transfer to Taylor Mill City Commission at their meeting Jan. 13. Taylor Mill went on to vote unanimously to add its system to the 19 cities and counties who have already turned its public storm sewers over to SD-1. Taylor Mill City Attorney Frank Wichmann said the bottom line is it’s financially beneficial to transfer the city’s system. “The state division of water imposed regulations and requirements for the regulation of the storm system,” he said. “You can let them do it or do it yourself.

In Kenton County, all cities except Fort Wright, Park Hills and Bromley have taken action or are in the process of getting the transfer approved by the SD-1 board. Clearly it’s cheaper to delegate it,” he said. In Kenton County, all cities except Fort Wright, Park Hills and Bromley have taken action or are in the process of getting the transfer approved by the SD-1 board. “We understand the complexity of the contract,” Apgar said of the time it has taken to complete the transfer. “We’re not surprised when you’re dealing with political process. We’re pleased with the progress we’re making.” When the transfer began last July, SD-1 sat down with each city

to answer questions and discuss concerns, Apgar said. Since then, four changes have been made to the original contract at the request of cities, engineers and other community members consulted on the project. One change was accepting the public storm sewer systems on private streets, Apgar said, which originally the district wasn’t aware of. The second was taking over municipally-owned open channels that run adjacent to streets. The third was including dry detention ponds and the outlet structure associated with retention or dry ponds in the district’s responsibility. Finally, the district has agreed to pay 50 percent of the cost to replace or repair culverts. “We’ve got a certain amount of money to work with. We balanced our budget to make sure it’s feasible to take that kind of leadership role,” Apgar said.

Appointment to clear air for Kimmich By Regan Coomer

rcoomer@nky.com

A recently appointed special assistant to Judge-Executive Ralph Drees will handle direct federal funds in 2010. Kenton County gave the duty to Special Projects Director Ralph Bailey at the Jan. 12 regular meeting in order to ensure there is no conflict with Deputy Judge Scott Kimmich’s campaign for Kenton judge-executive and the federal Hatch Act. According to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, the act “restricts the political activity of individuals employed by state, county or municipal executive agencies whose principal employment is in connection with programs

financed in whole or in part by loans and grants made by the United States or a federal agency.” While Kenton County is not a direct recipient of federal money as it is sent filtered through the state, Kimmich’s outside counsel advised Bailey’s appointment as a precaution. Kimmich’s attorney Rick Robinson with Graydon, Head & Ritchey said Kimmich’s seeking his advice was prompted by a “phone call from an Enquirer reporter who was acting on an anonymous tip,” Robinson said in a statement. “Due to the nature of the very limited federal funds which actually flow to the fiscal court, I informed him (Kimmich) that it

was my opinion that his candidacy did not violate the Hatch Act,” Robinson said. And if for some reason federal money was directly sent to the court in 2010, “the fiscal court should have someone in place to sign documents in Judge Drees’ absence and on his behalf,” Robinson said. The attorney’s release went on to say that any “outlandish and politically motivated claims which Scott’s expected primary opponent may have sent to the Office of Special Counsel will be properly dealt with in connection with the administrative Advisory Opinion process which Scott has himself requested.” Opponent and fellow Republican Steve Arlinghaus denied

sending any such claims to the OSC. “I think Rick Robinson is being the lawyer he is for Scott Kimmich. He is putting his own spin on it and trying to divert from the reality of what took place,” Arlinghaus said. Robinson’s analysis is in the process of being confirmed from the Office of Special Counsel in Washington, D.C. “We wanted to address it straight up,” Drees explained. Bailey’s appointment was effective Dec. 23, when Drees signed an executive order making the change. The executive order was approved unanimously by the Kenton County Fiscal Court at the Jan. 12 meeting.

Boone must wait to start own cable TV operation By Paul McKibben and Regan Coomer pmckibben@nky.com and rcoomer@nky.com

Boone County will have to wait another year to start its own cable television operation after losing a lawsuit against the Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky. The county filed suit last July in Boone Circuit Court against TBNK about how it could get out of the organization and for a proportional share of TBNK’s assets. Unincorporated Boone County, unincorporated Kenton County and 15 Kenton County cities comprised TBNK which manages a

cable television franchise with Insight Communications Co. and Cincinnati Bell Inc. TBNK also provides local programming. Boone County had notified TBNK of its intention to leave. Boone County Administrator Jeff Earlywine said the county tentatively planned to discontinue its participation on June 30, 2010, meaning on July 1 the county would have been managing its own television franchise for unincorporated Boone County. The county now has to provide TBNK with a oneyear notice, according to Earlywine. The county can’t leave until June 30, 2011. On July 1, 2011, the county

will operate its own television franchise. The county gives TBNK about $210,000 a year. Earlywine said “certainly economic considerations are part of that policy decision” the Boone County Fiscal Court has made. By leaving TBNK, Boone County will have to provide its own local programming on July 1, 2011. Earlywine said the county will no longer have access to TBNK’s studio and camera equipment. He said the county doesn’t yet have a specific cost to provide the programming as it hasn’t made any final decisions. Earlywine said the county is confident it can provide that service, make some studio time available and do other things for less than the annual fee that it is paying TBNK. He said the

While programming could be affected by the loss of revenue TBNK would have received from Boone County, Broering said TBNK will be able to keep up with current core programming in Kenton County. “We’re only losing Boone County. We’ll still continue to cover a lot of the programs we do with our schools, government meetings, swim meets and football games,” he said. The Boone County Fiscal Court will have to again act on withdrawing.

county won’t be in a position to do everything TBNK is doing now, but instead will prioritize. TBNK’s franchise agreement with Insight expired in December. Boone County expects to still have Insight as its cable television provider when the county is on its own. Earlywine said TBNK has been negotiating for the county because it’s still a member in good standing. While TBNK Director Tim Broering declined to comment on specifics of the suit, he did say the interlocal agreement was written so that one community couldn’t “pull the rug out from under the rest of the communities.” “This lawsuit is about them not taking assets because it would be unfair to other communities,” he said. “We’re currently talk-

Edgewood sticking by KLC, but wants changes By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

meant to condemn the KLC, but rather to urge them to be more proactive and aggressive in implementing the recommendations. “They’re in a state of flux right now, and we’re not expecting all of these changes to happen overnight,” explained Rolfes. “But we want them to know we’re watching to see what progress they make toward these goals, and hopefully this can all

get fixed as soon as possible.” Link also said that while the city planned to stick with the KLC as they go through their changes, they also wouldn’t hesitate to speak out if they don’t like the direction things are headed. “We’re not going to withhold dues or anything like that, but we will be watching closely to see how this goes,” he said. “If

things aren’t changing for the better, we’ll be the first ones there to let them know what needs to happen. But right now, we’re just going to ride this out and trust that change is coming.” The council agreed to the letter, although no official vote was taken. Rolfes said he planned to mail the letter as soon as possible. The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

Lindeman Elementary teachers and students will have something new to look forward to in the fall when school starts again - no leaky ceilings. The school is expected to get a new roof put on over the summer, a project that Principal Mikes Shires couldn’t be happier about. “It’s definitely something we need, and it will be a big relief to have it done,” he said. “This has been some-

thing we’ve been dealing with for a long time.” At their Jan. 14 meeting, the Erlanger-Elsmere School Board heard a brief presentation from architect Ehmet Hayes about the project. Hayes said they are currently taking bids for the project, and he expects to present the bids for approval at the next board meeting. He also said the entire school will receive a new roof except for the cafeteria, which received a new roof a few years ago, and that the project will likely be started

as soon as school lets out for the summer, and would be finished before the students return in the fall. Shires said the roof at the school has needed repairs for some time, with water leaking constantly during heavy rains or near the end of winter when the snow and ice is thawing. He said teachers have had some equipment ruined from leaking water, and that upon his arrival to the school two years ago, he witnessed water pouring out of a light fixture, creating an obvious safety hazard.

School taking student leaders to the bank

By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

In February, Taylor Mill Elementary students can start saving their dollars. The school will debut the First Dollar Student Bank, in partnership with the Independence branch of Republic Bank, Feb. 3. The bank will be available to students who’d like to have a savings account, but it will also be ran by student “employees” who will interview for their “jobs.” “We would like to give our students the opportunity to learn about banking and saving and budgeting. A lot of the math and economics core content would fit into that,” said School Counselor Lauri Hackman. The school’s leadership team made up of fourth and fifth grade students will take on the jobs at the bank, which include a bank manager, marketing person, teller and more.

“We’re going to rotate those students so they have the opportunity to serve in a variety of roles,” Hackman said. Students must deposit $10 and have parent permission to open a savings account, but the bank will match the initial deposit with $5, Hackman said. Student accounts will earn interest, which students will receive record of quarterly. “They can bring in as little as $1 a week every week until the end of the school year. They’re going to have a nice little savings account,” she said. Fifth grade student and leadership team member Brianna Scott said the bank will help students learn to save money; fellow team member Christian Sherrard called it an “opportunity.” “I think it’s an opportunity to meet some of the people in our school we don’t know,” she said. For information about the First Dollar Student Bank, call Taylor Mill Elementary at 356-2566.

COMMUNITY RECORDER

Stinson, Eagles growing as a team By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Taylor Stinson has been growing into her role. Literally. The 5-foot-10 sophomore forward for the Scott High School girls’ basketball team has become a second scoring option to 6-foot-4 junior Lauren Tibbs, the standout junior center averaging 25 points per game. The Eagles have also been growing as a team, evidenced by a 57-39 home win over rival Simon Kenton Jan. 13 in the opening round of the Kenton County Classic. Scott improved to 11-4, surpassing its win total all of last year. The Eagles beat the Pioneers for the first time since in five years. The past two years, when SK was en route to winning the Eighth Region title, the Pioneers beat the Eagles by scores of 87-58 and 77-16. “It means a lot because they came in last year and dominated us,” Stinson said. “We were really excited to come in and beat them on our court because there’s a lot of rivalry between our schools. We’ve made a lot of progress. We’ve had a lot of adversity with injuries so

An inside player, she helps take attention away from Tibbs, Northern Kentucky’s top scorer. Scott needed that extra production after the graduation of sharpshooting guard Shelbi Benzinger and her 14.5 points a game last year.

Jan 19, Scott at Campbell; Jan. 22, Brossart at Scott; Feb. 12, Calvary at Silver Grove. Stinson has grown as a player and in height since last season. “I played AAU ball and worked a lot in the offseason on my post moves, and I think that has helped a lot,” she said. “Last year I was kind of stuck between a guard and a post and I was a little uncoordinated. I think I’ve grown into my body.” Stinson and Tibbs, also volleyball teammates, have a strong rapport. “(Stinson) is a guard and we kind of made her into a post player,” Scott head coach Rhonda Klette said. “She wants to do well, and it’s showing. They work great together, high-low, bouncing back and forth. Lauren can go high and Taylor can go low. It’s a great combination.” The top scoring guards on the team are senior Kelsey Bamforth, junior Samantha Kraft and senior Sara Kuhse. Kuhse leads the team with 14 three-point makes. Kraft had 10 points against SK. Bamforth, the starting point guard, had 17 points against Dixie Heights. “Tibbs always draws a couple of girls so we need other girls to take the pressure off of her,” Stinson said. “I’ve been trying to take some of that pressure off her to make the other team not triple-team her.”

Scott senior Sara Kuhse tries to block the shot of Simon Kenton senior Ali Ponzer during Scott’s 57-39 win in the opening round of the Kenton County Classic Jan. 13 at Scott. Tibbs, a Division I college prospect who could pass her coach’s school record of 2,485 points before she graduates, said she has improved a lot in the offseason. “I’ve gotten a lot stronger,” Tibbs said. “That was the big thing, I got pushed around a little bit last year, but now I’m doing some of the pushing.” Klette said she understands the game better as well. “She’s really starting to learn where the help is coming from, and our kids are trying to identify where the help is coming from more,” Klette said. “They’re reading the double-teams and finding the open person, and she’s becoming more effective at that. We’re get-

ting some multiple weapons that can really help us down the road.” The Eagles are aiming for goals the program hasn’t seen in recent years. Scott plays key 37th District seeding games at Campbell County Jan. 19 and at home against Bishop Brossart Jan. 22. Scott, 1-0, finishes the seeding at Silver Grove Feb. 8. The Eagles, who made the 10th Region semifinals last year, have not had a winning record in 10 years nor a district championship in six. “We want to win district, region, and make it down to state,” Tibbs said. “We say before every game and practice, we say team and we say state. That’s what we want.”

Wainscott leads Pioneers this season By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Sydni Wainscott was the second-leading scorer for the Simon Kenton girls’ basketball team last year. With the graduation of the school’s all-time leading scorer Chelsea Tolliver and four other seniors, Wainscott has had to step up this season. That she has, as the junior guard is averaging 19 points per game through Jan. 15, more than double her average a year ago. “She knows it’s her time,” SK head coach Jeff Stowers said. “She’s a warrior. She knew she was going to have to step up this

year a lot more than in the past. She’s a diehard leader. She hates to lose. She just gets after it no matter what the score is.” Wainscott has scored 20 points or more in five of the last seven games, including a season-high 27 Jan. 9 against Williamstown. She has led the Pioneers to a 14-3 record as they try to win the Eighth Region for the third straight year. Wainscott averages 2.4 made three-pointers a game. Senior forward Nikki Brown, a returning veteran, has also stepped it up with an 11.3 ppg. average this season. Senior guard Allison Ponzer posts 7.1 points a

contest. Sophomore guard Hannah Stephenson posts eight points a contest and senior center Kristin Pace. The main concern for the Pioneers and Stowers has been inside play. The Pioneers graduated a lot of size last year. “Our strength is our guard play,” Stowers said. “If we get anything inside, we’ll be fine.” SK is already 5-0 in 32nd District play, and its home game against WaltonVerona Feb. 1 will likely decide the No. 1 seed in the postseason tournament. SK owns a 41-35 win in Walton this year. The Pioneers are 3-0 in conference play in Division I.

Young Saints continue league success By James Weber jweber@nky.com

JAMES WEBER/STAFF

Thomas More College sophomore Katie Tierney tries to get the ball against Thiel Jan. 16. he said the Saints currently aren’t as strong in the halfcourt game than they have been in recent years. “It’s exciting,” said freshman guard Allison Long, a Conner High School product. “Pressing the entire game - it’s a lot of energy, it

takes a lot of hard work and communication.” Long and other newcomers have stepped up this season. Freshman guard Chelsea Tolliver is the leading scorer at 14.5 points per game. She is shooting 39 percent

from three-point range. The all-time leading scorer at Simon Kenton High School has made a seamless transition to college ball. Long is the third-leading scorer at 9.3 ppg. Sophomore guard Katie Tierney, also a Notre Dame grad, is the fourth-leading scorer at 7.5 ppg and has started every contest after seeing spot duty in about half the games last year. Six other Saints average four or more points this season. The Saints have been balanced, as Tolliver owns the only 20-point games (four) by a Saint this year. TMC plays at home Jan. 23 against Grove City. The men’s team at Thomas More is off to a high-powered start, going 12-4 and 5-1 in league play. The Saints average 87 points per game and have scored 90 or more in six of their past seven contests.

Brian Neal was frustrated at times as he watched his Thomas More College women’s basketball team let Thiel make a run in the second half Jan. 16. The occasional angst is understandable as the TMC head coach has been playing six freshmen who are new to the higher level of college basketball. But the young Saints have been getting the same results as the older teams of recent years. TMC is 13-2 and 6-1 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference after beating Thiel, 74-50 at home Jan. 16. Neal had to rebuild his roster after the Saints went 28-3 last year and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III Tournament. TMC lost four starters, including D-III All-American Jayme Thiem, now an assistant coach for the Saints. “We lost so much from last year,” head coach Brian Neal said. “I find something to complain about every day, but if you had told me we would be 13-2 two and a half months ago, I would have said you’re crazy. “We have a lot of talent, a lot of good hard-working kids. Once they figure out how to play basketball, we’ll really have something.” The Saints returned about a third of their scoring from last year. The bulk of that comes from junior center Nicole Dickman, the 6-foot graduate of Notre Dame Academy. Dickman is averaging 12.1 points and 7.7 rebounds a contest, and makes 58 percent of her field goals. She has stepped up to be a key veteran with the young team. “Being a veteran on this team is very different,” she said. “We have so many freshmen, but we have grown together and worked hard every day. I could have a bad day and know that any of the guards can step up.” Besides Dickman, the Saints are mostly guard-oriented. Neal has had the team run and press more this season than last, and

KENTUCKY AMATEUR BASEBALL ASSOCIATION 2010 BASEBALL SEASON SIGN-UPS

for children ages 4 through 15

www.kababaseball.org

REGISTRATION OPEN

The Kentucky Amateur Baseball Association (KABA), formerly Northern Kentucky Little League, is taking registrations for the 2010 baseball season. KABA is now operating as a charted member of Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken and is taking registrations for children ages 4 through 15. Registrations are accepted online at www.kababaseball.org or download a form and send it via the postal service. Individual, group and team registrations are accepted.

OPEN HOUSE & REGISTRATION

The KABA encourages you to talk with KABA Directors and Coaches at area registration sites for the 2010 season at the following location: Drawbridge Inn (Ft. Mitchell) – January 31st (Sunday) from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.; Online Registration or for More Information: www.kababaseball.org - Phone: 859-991-4619

PLAYING AGE(S)

The league uses age to group children into playing divisions. The age of a child on April 30, 2010 determines the players league age. The divisions Tee Ball – 4 year olds; Rookie Machine Pitch 5 & 6 year olds; Machine Pitch - 7 & 8 year olds; Minor League - 9 & 10 year olds; Major League 11 & 12 year olds; Babe Ruth League - 13 & above.

COACHING VACANCIES

Adults interested in coaching should go to www.kababaseball.org and ﬁll out a volunteer application. Applications are screened for sexual predator and criminal background history. Completed applications should be sent to Jeff Keener at 117 Ridgewood Drive, Erlanger, KY 41018.

WHEN DOES THE SEASON START

The divisions for player 7 years of age through 12 start playing games the ﬁrst Saturday in April. The 4 year old Tee Ball season is run indoors and starts the 2nd or 3rd week of March, while the 5 & 6 year old Rookie Machine Pitch division starts playing games the third weekend in April. Don’t wait to submit your individual registration form. Teams are formed by grouping children by school they attend, city & county of residence and by request of the parents.

League Structure Tee Ball – 4’s

The KABA offers two sessions of Tee Ball for children 4 years of age. Each will run eight weeks or more. The first session will start in March and play its games on Saturday on the indoor soccer field at Sports of All Sorts. The second session starts in May and is offered at a discount to those players that participate in the first session. Games are planned at Christ’s Chapel in Florence, Silverlake Park in Erlanger and at Friendship Park in Cold Spring (based on county of residence of its players). All games last about one hour. Each child bats every inning and plays the field.

Rookie Machine Pitch – 5 & 6’s

This division will start in late April and is for 5 & 6 year olds. The schedule will include one game per week and each team is required to practice once per week. The games last about one hour & ﬁfteen minutes. The players at this division receive two pitches from a pitching machine and then the batting tee is used. The pitching machine has eliminated children getting hit by a pitch in practice or games and has improved play.

Machine Pitch – 7 & 8’s

The machine pitch division starts playing games the ﬁrst Saturday in April. The team will play twice per week. One game is played during the week and one on the weekend. This division offers a pre-season tournament, Memorial Weekend Tournament and End of the Season Tournament as part of their league fees. This year KABA will host a State Tournament presenting an additional opportunity for its teams to gain a “select” or “all-star like” experience.

Minor League – 9 & 10’s

This division starts the ﬁrst Saturday in April. They play one game during the week and one on the weekend. This is the ﬁrst division where live pitching is used. The base length is 60 feet and the pitching distance is 46 feet. Strict pitch counts insure that multiple children get an opportunity to pitch and limits the risk of an arm injury. We allow coaches to use roster batting or the high school rule for substitution. The league uses the non-lead off and steal rules at this age group and records an out on a dropped third strike. Stealing is allowed, but not until the ball crosses the plate.

Major League – 11 & 12’s

This division starts the ﬁrst Saturday in April. This division will use 50/70, meaning 50 ft. pitching distance and 70 ft bases. This division makes the full transition into leading off & stealing & it uses the dropped third strike rule where the ball is live. All Star teams are assembled based on county afﬁliation, but regular season teams are also allowed to participate in the Cal Ripken & Babe Ruth Tournaments. These advance to the World Series through a process that starts with a local District Tournament. KABA also enters its teams into several other tournaments as a way to expand the experience level of its players.

Babe Ruth League 13 & up

This division will start in mid April for the non-High School based teams. The KABA allows its chartered leagues to group players together at 13 years of age or 13 and 14 years of age using the April 30th date. Some of the teams will not start league play until after the High School season is over. All rules are similar to those played in high school, with the exception of pitching and base distances, which can be altered to use the 54 foot pitching distance and 80 foot base distances.

Special Tournaments

KABA sponsors a season opening and end of season tournament for children at the Machine Pitch, Minor and Major league division levels. It also sponsors a Memorial Weekend Tournament for these same divisions where teams outside of KABA are encouraged to participate. This year, KABA will host a state tournament for recreational league teams, all star teams and travel teams over the July 4th weekend. Each classiﬁcation will be operated separately in naming a state champ.

Coach / Player Development

The KABA sponsors multiple trainings for its coaches and players. This year, it is mandatory that each of the Coaches in KABA pass an online course offered through Cal Ripken Baseball. The course takes a coach through the basics of teaching the skills, forming practice sessions and providing a foundation for the instructional baseball coach. In addition, KABA also offers several coaching sessions for its coaches. The Coaches Trainings are set for the ﬁrst and second Saturdays in March at Summit View Middle School. Call 859-991-4610 for details.

Community Registration Dates

The KABA encourages you to talk with KABA Directors and Coaches at area registration sites for the 2010 season at its “Open House” on Sunday, January 31st at the Drawbridge Inn (Ft. Mitchell) from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Contact us at 859 – 991 – 4619 to get the speciﬁc dates the organization will conduct sign ups at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Campbell County & St. Marys Registration

The KABA encourages those in Campbell County to assemble teams from within their individual schools. For example St. Mary’s Parish will conduct registration within the school and parish for the purpose of assembling teams to participate in KABA this year. Registrations from Campbell County will be grouped to form teams by school, church, city and county of residence.

Transparency needed in talks

President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress have spent nearly a year entirely focused on one goal: a costly government takeover of health care. On Christmas Eve, the Senate passed its deeply flawed version of health care “reform” (H.R. 3590) by a vote of 60-39. The House of Representatives passed Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s version of the bill (H.R. 3962) on Nov. 7. While substantial differences between the two versions of health care legislation remain, both rely on a combination of tax increases, Medicare cuts and a much larger role for the federal government in health care decisions. Sadly, both bills fail to truly reform our health care system or reduce cost. Negotiations are now under way between Democratic leadership in the House and the Senate to resolve the differences between the two bills. Although President Obama repeatedly promised to broadcast health care negotiations on C-SPAN for all Americans to see, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have chosen once again to hide the health care debate behind closed doors.

P e l o s i pledged to lead the “most open and transparent Congress in history.” Despite her assurance, Democratic leaders have U.S. Rep. made a habit of Geoff Davis rushing legislato the Community tion House floor for a Recorder vote without guest allowing sufficolumnist cient time for members of Congress or the American public to read and examine its contents. Case in point: last June, House Democrats forced a vote on their cap and trade legislation that would impose a sweeping national energy tax. The final text of the 1,201-page legislation was not released until 3:09 a.m. on the morning of the vote. Rather than include the public in the discussion on the right way to improve our health care system, Democratic leaders seem more interested in pushing their personal agenda for reform in secret. C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb

offered to provide a medium for fulfilling President Obama’s promise and sent a letter to Pelosi and Reid requesting they allow all health care negotiations to be broadcast live. You can view the C-SPAN letter at http://GeoffDavis.house.gov/UploadedFiles/C span_letter.pdf. In addition to backing CSPAN’s request, I joined over 150 House Republicans in sponsoring a resolution (H. Res. 847) in support of public negotiations and meetings on health care legislation. In this time of record unemployment and economic recession, Americans have every right to be concerned about the true cost and implications of health care reform legislation. In order to successfully reform health care, we need to ensure that the final legislation is crafted in the open with input from members from both sides of the aisle. The people deserve the opportunity to know what is at stake and share their views with their elected representatives before the final vote on health care occurs. U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Hebron, is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Commonsense legislation for Kentucky taxpayer savings

In my last article, we discussed how to apply business principles to state government to make it smarter, smaller and more service-oriented. This is my second week in Frankfort, and I want to give you a summary of some of the legislation I am working on to accomplish these goals. • Senate Bill 32 requires that inmates who file lawsuits against the Department of Corrections or our county jails must first use the facility’s grievance procedure. This piece of commonsense legislation opposed by the trial lawyers will save taxpayers thousands of dollars that we are currently spending to defend against inmates’ frivolous lawsuits and will reflect the current federal law on the state level. • SB 47 will allow county jails

to charge inmates for the medical costs if they had funds in their inmate accounts. This legislation will also save taxpayers thouState Sen. sands of dollars John and will require Schickel inmates to pay a portion of their Community medical costs Recorder just like you or guest I. • SB 73 will columnist give mentally ill persons or their families the option of a jury trial for these proceedings in district court. It will protect the mentally ill from embarrassing proceedings

if they wish while protecting the constitutional right to a jury trial. The Administrative Office of the Courts estimates this will save half a million dollars. • SB 19 is commonsense legislation that will make it possible for retired pharmacy technicians to donate their time on a voluntary basis without costly license renewal. It is an honor to represent the people of Boone, Gallatin and Kenton counties in the Kentucky State Senate. Please contact me in Frankfort with your concerns and comments. Call 1-800-372-7181 or e-mail me at www.lrc.ky. gov/Mailform/S011.htm. Sen. John Schickel, R-Union, represents the 11th Senate District which includes Boone and Gallatin Counties and part of Kenton County.

HEALTH CARE BILLS ARE INCURABLY FLAWED “Seriously flawed” is how the Family Research Council described both the Senate and House bills, since both, besides funding abortion, “still allow rationing of health care for seniors, raise health costs for families, mandate that families purchase under threat of fines and penalties, offer counsel about assisted suicide in some states, do not offer broad conscience protections for health care workers, and seek to insert the federal government into all aspects of citizens’ lives.” “…thehealthcarebillisfatallyflawedandassuchcannotbesupported,” writes Bishop RobertVasa of Baker, Oregon. Bishop R. Walter Nickless of Sioux City, Iowa, warned: “First and most important, the Church will not accept any legislation that mandates coverage, public or private, for abortion, euthanasia, or embryonic stem-cell research. …As a corollary of this, we insist equally on adequate protection of individual rights of conscience for patients and health care providers not to be made complicit in these evils. … A so-called reform that imposes these evils on us would be far worse than keeping the health care system we now have.” All of the pending bills have been uniformly condemned by all serious pro-lifers, including the Catholic Medical Association, Focus on the Family, the Christian Medical and Dental Association, the Southern Baptist Convention, Family Research Council, and numerous individual bishops throughout the United States. A fuller exposition of the reasons for objection by serious pro-lifers can be found at lifesitenews.com. Abortion Funding Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, who chairs the U.S. Bishops’ SecretariatofPro-LifeActivities,stated: “Bywhatright,then,andbywhat precedent, would Congress make abortion coverage into a nationwide norm, or force Americans to subsidize it as a condition for participating in a public health program?” The Cardinal concluded that the current legislation being proposed was “not acceptable.” In the House version, even with the Stupak Amendment, “Abortions are covered through private plans…The bill also requires the existence of at least one insurance plan that covers abortion ‘services’ in each state.Tax dollarsmaynotfundabortionsunderprivateinsurance,butthoseprivate planparticipantsarepayingforabortionthroughtheirpremiums,”points out American Life League, an uncompromising pro-life organization. Subsidiarity Even assuming that the moral deficits in both the House and Senate bills could be remedied, which is impossible, there remains yet another very serious problem with the legislation. The introduction of the wholesale takeover of the health care system by the federal government is in violation of the principle of the doctrine of subsidiarity, supported in Christianethicsaswellasinsoundpoliticalphilosophy. Thislongstanding doctrine of subsidiarity teaches quite clearly of the dangers of excessive governmental intervention. Subsidiarity is a basic principle of Catholic social teaching, and was again explained by Pope John Paul II in 1991 in his encyclical Centesimus Annus: “A community of higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the [lower] of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society.” InadocumentissuedjointlybyMostRev.JohnF.Naumann,Archbishop ofKansasCity,KS,andMostRev.RobertW.Finn,BishopofKansasCitySt. Joseph, MO, this danger was pointed out clearly: “The writings of recent Popes have warned that the neglect of subsidiarity can lead to an excessive centralization of human services, which in turn leads to excessive costs, and loss of personal responsibility and quality of care. …diminishing personal responsibility or creating an inordinately bureaucratic structure which will be vulnerable to financial abuse, be crippling to our national economy, and remove the sense of humanity from the work of healing and helping the sick.” Even assuming that we were able to secure clear language protecting against abortion funding, euthanasia counseling, health care rationing, denial of conscience rights, etc., those in charge of implementing this legislation have made their pro-death inclinations abundantly clear, and would have great authority to corrupt what otherwise might be thought to be clear and incorruptible language of the legislation. This administration, or future ones, having put the feet of this nation on this disastrous path of government-operated health care, would certainlyfindthispowerandcontrolintoxicatingandwouldbeunableto resist further advances in these dangerous policies.

PATRICIA SCHEYER/CONTRIBUTOR

Dale Shoemaker, who owns Rooftime, points out some of the different products he sells during a Home Expo exhibition at the Sharonville Convention Center Saturday, Feb. 9.

Roofer delivers on promise By Patricia A. Scheyer Community Recorder contributor

Dale Shoemaker wants to be able to look people in the eye and tell them their roof is done exactly the way it should be done, so he doesn’t take shortcuts. “Owens Corning has determined that we are preferred contractors, so they double their warranties on their products because we use them exactly according to instructions,” said Shoemaker. “It all pays off in the end. When you do things right, people come back because you did such a quality job.” The company has an office and a showroom on Limaburg Creek road off Route 18. Among other

things, Rooftime sells insulation, siding, gutters and skylights. In their showroom customers are shown precisely what materials will be used on their house, and how they will fit. “With all the family members, we have many years of experience behind us,” said Sandy Feltner, Office Manager for the company. “Our staff is knowledgeable and can answer any questions you have.” For more information, the company has a web site, www.time2roof.com, or their phone number is 859341-TIME (8463).

Getting some of the little things back made all the difference for Ron Baker Jr., a paralyzed Covington man. “When people think of losing stuff, they never realize it’s the little stuff you end up missing,” he said. Ron Jr., 32, hadn’t been able to take a shower since the car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down in 2001. All he wanted was to feel the water on his face, said father Ron Sr., but to do that the family needed a handicapaccessible bathroom that would cost too much for the recently-retired couple. That changed in December when the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky (HBA) made that dream come true for the Bakers. “You’ve heard of the Make-A-Wish Foundation,” Ron Sr. said. “I would say if he had a wish, his has been answered.” The HBA donates labor and materials and solicits donations for projects like the Bakers’ in Northern Kentucky about once every quarter, said former chair Doug Delay. A nurse of Ron Jr.’s proposed the project to the HBA, Delay said. “We help out a needy family or someone who deserves it,” Delay said. “We felt like it was the right thing to do to build a bathroom to accommodate Ron Jr.” Ron Sr. said he had applied for every grant he could think of to help build a bathroom for his son. “We were disbelieving,” Ron Sr. said when he heard of the HBA’s deci-

The Northern Kentucky Home Builders Association built a handicap-accessible bathroom for the Baker family of Covington. The couple’s son, Ron Jr., is paralyzed and wasn’t able to take a shower on his own. Pictured is the new sink, that was placed high enough on the wall so that Ron Jr.’s wheel chair can roll under it. sion. “Everything they put in was first class. They didn’t skimp anywhere at all.” The HBA created a full bathroom in Ron Jr.’s bedroom, Delay said, including a roll-in shower, a handicap toilet and a sink that was built higher so Ron Jr.’s wheelchair would fit underneath it. The project would have cost over $20,000. “They were like angels. They were kind enough to come donate all the materials and build a top-of-the-line bathroom,” Ron Jr. said. “Even if we were able to go and build a bathroom it wouldn’t have been this nice.” Besides making it possible for Ron

Jr. to take a shower, brush his teeth and wash his hands more easily, the HBA’s project allowed Ron Sr. and his wife Cynthia to avoid a financial burden. “We were going to have to eventually get a loan to get a bathroom put in for him,” Ron Sr. said. Since the new bathroom has been built, Ron Jr. has been able to take a shower a few times a week. “It’s perfect. I can fit perfectly in there,” Ron Jr. said. Ron Jr. is one of four of the Baker’s children. Ron and Cynthia have four grandchildren. For more information about the HBA, visit hbanky.com.

American Red Cross aiding Haiti relief The American Red Cross is sending money, supplies and staff to Haiti to support relief efforts there after the Jan. 12 earthquake, which caused catastrophic damage and loss of life. According to reports, as many as three million people may have been affected by the quake, which collapsed government buildings and caused major damage to hospitals in the area. The Red Cross is contributing an initial $1 million from the International Response Fund to support the relief operation, and has opened its warehouse in Panama to provide tarps, mosquito nets and cooking sets for approximately 5,000 families. In addition to Red Cross staff already in Haiti, six disaster management specialists are being deployed to the disaster zone to help coordinate relief efforts.

At this time, the American Red Cross is only deploying volunteers specially trained to manage international emergency operations. There has been an outpouring of support from the public. To help, people can make an unrestricted donation to the International Response Fund at www.cincinnatiredcross.org or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-7332767). The public can also help by texting “Haiti” to 90999 to send a $10 donation to the Red Cross, through an effort backed by the U.S. State Department. Funds will go to support American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. Debris and collapsed bridges are making access to many areas extremely difficult. Telephone service and electricity are out in many places. Haitian Red

Cross staff worked throughout the night to rescue people still trapped in their homes and provide first aid. The priority remains to provide food, water, temporary shelter, medical services and emotional support. The American Red Cross already had 15 staff in Haiti providing ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention and disaster preparedness programs. All are reported to be safe and responding to the disaster. While communication with those in Haiti is still difficult, people should contact the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services at 1-888-407-4747 if trying to reach a U.S. citizen living or traveling in Haiti. If trying to reach a Haitian citizen, callers should continue to call or contact other family members who live nearby.

Kenton Recorder

January 21, 2010

Bookstores, atheists and spiritual hunger Bookstore titles reveal much about a people. One of many noticeable content changes in recent years is the increase of books by atheists. We might wonder why such authors are motivated to expend all that time and effort writing about something they believe doesn’t exist. The reason they write, of course, is because there’s a market for their books. We live at a difficult moment in history. We’re stuck between a growing secular system with which we are uncomfortable, and a religious system we may feel we cannot fully embrace. Countless people sense an emptiness or confusion and wonder “What do I really believe in?” A spirituality revolution is taking place. On one side of the current indecision are writers who are atheists or agnostics. They present their arguments implying it’s foolish to still fall for the God stuff, organized religion, and beliefs other peo-

ple instill in us. “Think for yourself and you’ll come to the same conclusion we do,” Father Lou t h e y Guntzelman insinuate. C u r Perspectives r e n t l y many people are uneasy saying they are religious. They prefer to say they are spiritual rather than religious. Spiritual indicates they believe in God, prayer, the Bible, Jesus Christ, doing good for others, and possibly an afterlife in heaven. Religious implies an adherence to all the beliefs a particular church may espouse, an association with that church’s historic or present flaws, a perceived legalism rather than personalism, and a moral prudishness. Recent polls have shown a surge in “nones,” i.e. people who profess they are not

associated any longer with any religion. “The spirituality revolution is also discovered in the recent upwelling of spiritual feeling in young people throughout the world, who increasingly realize, often with some desperation, that society is in need of renewal, and that an awareness of spirit holds the key to our personal, social, and ecological survival,” writes David Tacey in “The Spirituality Revolution.” Is this an era becoming more open to being led by God’s Holy Spirit, or, in our arrogance, do we imagine that we have outgrown the sacred and that the notions of soul and spirit are archaisms of a former era? Yet the hunger for the sacred has increased in our time and we don’t know how to respond. What is wisdom and what is delusion? What comprises spiritual health and unhealthiness in ourselves and others? Traditionally churches

Is this an era becoming more open to being led by God’s Holy Spirit, or, in our arrogance, do we imagine that we have outgrown the sacred and that the notions of soul and spirit are archaisms of a former era? have distributed catechisms containing summations of beliefs. What seems needed now among searching and intelligent people are adequate contemporary explanations of beliefs. No longer can people be told just what to believe but convincingly explained why it is believed as truth. One Catholic cardinal recently lamented the degree of “theological illiteracy” among the Church’s membership. Sandra M. Schneiders writes, “The theology which undergirded our spirituality in the past cannot be resuscitated, and intelligent people cannot

Watch for exclusions on travel insurance policy When you book an airline ticket on the Internet these days the airlines ask if you’d like to buy travel insurance. But, you need to know not all travel insurance is alike. In fact, many of the disasters that drive the sale of these particular insurance policies are just not covered. Laura Mieling of Clifton thought she was protecting herself when she went on Delta Air Line’s Web site and booked a plane ticket for a vacation three months later. “They give you the option of travel insurance. I looked at the page and it says it’s covered if you and your family gets sick or dies, so that’s why I did it,” she said. Mieling’s 69-year-old mother had been home battling cancer for the past year and a half so she said she bought the insurance just in case she had to cancel the plane trip. A month before her trip her mother did become seri-

ously ill. “ S h e went into hospice, basically. We had the meeting and she decidHoward Ain ed to do Hey Howard! h o s p i c e . The doctor with hospice said she had two weeks to live,” she said. Mieling immediately canceled her plane ticket and applied to the insurance company for a refund of the air fare. Her mother died the day before she was to have left on that vacation. A few days later she spoke with the travel insurance company about the refund. “They said, ‘Well, did she have cancer?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ She said, ‘Well, that’s a pre-existing condition so we can’t do it,’ ” said Mieling. Mieling said she never

imagined this could happen, but after checking carefully through the insurance policy she did find that exclusion. She said, “They had the 20-something page policy that I didn’t bother to read – I don’t know who does. It said if it’s a pre-existing health condition you can’t get coverage. So, I said, ‘OK, they got me.’ ” Mieling checked the Internet and found dozens of other complaints about this same type of thing involving insurance policies sold on the Internet. A spokesman for that insurance company told me the policies sold on these Web sites are very inexpensive and so have exclusions contained in them. Instead of buying travel insurance from these Web sites, that insurance company spokesman said you can buy a policy from your travel agent and, while it will cost you more money, it will not have these exclusions. He said that insurance

company is considering adding a more comprehensive policy option to the Delta Air Lines Web site. If this option were offered, consumers would not only be more aware of the exclusions, but they could have a choice of which type of policy to buy. A Delta spokeswoman told me the airline is following up with the insurance company on this suggestion. Bottom line, before buying a travel insurance policy it’s important to carefully check out all the possible exclusions to make sure it will suit your needs.

live a spirituality which is theological bootless. We are, to large extent, running on theological empty.” In a scientific and technological culture, are there still intelligent people around whose hearts grasp the legitimacy of also living a belief in the transcendent? Consider the words of Albert Einstein: “The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, a snuffed out candle. “To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot

grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness.

A ‘roasty’ dinner for cold weather meals Every January I clean out my files. The problem is, I have a hard time pitching much out. But this year I was ruthless and had five gargantuan garbage bags filled. Rita A n d Heikenfeld I’m lookRita’s kitchen ing at four filing cabinets (and they’re large ones) stuffed to the gills still. My kids tell me I should get rid of all my paper files. I tell them these files are my security blanket. I don’t trust computer-generated anything. I did find a whole bunch of wonderful recipes from readers like Mary Pollock, who sent me a wheat-free gingerbread muffin recipe for Pat Landrum, and a nice lady who personally delivered a “perfect pound cake recipe.” I hope to get to all of these soon.

Beef pot roast with garlic and ginger

Perfect for this bonechilling weather. Try roasting in the oven, covered, at about 300 degrees for a couple or so hours. 1 chuck or other inexpensive roast, approx. 3 lbs. Oil for browning 1 ⁄4 cup hot water 3 ⁄4 teaspoon powdered ginger or 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 1 ⁄4 cup soy sauce or more to taste 2 large onions, sliced 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1⁄4 cup cold water Salt and pepper to taste Brown beef in a small amount of oil. Cover with water, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and onion. Cover and simmer about two to three hours, until tender, adding water as needed, about 1 cup. Remove meat. Add cornstarch mixture to sauce and stir until thick. Adjust seasonings. (May need to add a bit more corn-

starch dissolved in a small amount of cold water). Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.

Pogue’s French dressing

I can’t believe I finally found this recipe in a stack, sent last year to me by Rosemary Auer who lives downtown. She and I had a nice chat when I was doing a demo at Macy’s Fountain Place. I hope Rosemary forgives me for just now finding it. You can add more ketchup or more vinegar and/or oil.

Whisk together: 1

⁄2 cup each: ketchup and sugar 1 ⁄3 cup each: oil and red wine vinegar 21⁄2 tablespoons grated onion (I’d go to taste on this) 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each: paprika, chili powder, salt, dry mustard, celery seed

Campbell’s Barn Restaurant & Saloon’s peanut butter pie

This restaurant on Ohio Pike, near Amelia, is serving up some mighty good food. I can’t wait to go there again and check out all the new offerings. I’ve had several requests

for this pie, including Diana Salmon, who absolutely loves it. Tracy Luginbuhl, owner, graciously shared this recipe, which originated with Our Place Restaurant. Campbell’s makes this pie in large quantities, and I appreciate them working out a home version. Now if you can’t find a 10-inch pie shell, go ahead and use what you have, knowing that you may have some filling left over. The Restaurant also serves a much-requested red wine vinegar Catalina type salad dressing, also originating from Our Place Restaurant.

1 pie shell, 10-inch, baked and cooled 16 oz. crunchy peanut butter 1 pound confectioner’s sugar Large container Cool Whip, thawed, or use whipping cream and whip until stiff Large box vanilla instant pudding Mix peanut butter with sugar. It should be crumbly. Add a bit more sugar if you need to so it crumbles between your fingers. Mix pudding according to directions, add 1 cup Cool

If you’re looking for buyers, you’re in the right neighborhood.

Whip and allow to chill. Then mix 3⁄4 peanut butter mixture in with pudding mixture. Cover top with rest of Cool Whip and sprinkle rest of peanut butter mixture on top.

I’m swamped at work. My projects can’t sit for two months. And what about my family? Who’s going to take care of them? They are my responsibility. I can’t ask them to drop everything to help me.

Who has time for heart surgery? But my doctor explained robotic-assisted surgery. It’s highly effective and minimally invasive. And surgeons at Good Samaritan Hospital are robotic experts, teaching doctors from The Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins. All of this is a major comfort to me and my family. Because while recovery usually takes weeks, with robotics, I’ll be back in days.

Quit smoking program offered for the New Year

Happy new year

PROVIDED

Margaret of Willimstown & Jannell of Covington Celebrate New Year’s Eve and a birthday while taking a work break at Bobby Mackey's.

Three sessions of the Cooper-Clayton Smoking Cessation Program are starting in January. Cooper-Clayton is a comprehensive, 13-week program that helps participants stop smoking with peer support, educational guidance and nicotine replacement therapy. The classes will meet at the following location: 6 to 7 p.m. on Mondays, starting January 25, at the Health Department's District Office, 610 Medical Village Drive, Edgewood. The Cooper-Clayton classes are free, but participants must purchase nicotine patches, gum or lozenges, if utilized. Participants have had much success with the Cooper-Clayton program because it combines nicotine replace-

Humidify your home in the winter Submitted by the Kenton County Extension Office Winter weather in Kentucky tends to present challenges in the form of snow, ice and freezing temperatures. What isn't talked about often is the discomfort caused by weather inside the home. The itch that plagues many people during winter can be the result of inside air that does not contain adequate moisture. Low humidity levels can cause high levels of discomfort including dry skin and stuffy sinuses. The air in a house is dryer in winter because there is less moisture in the air outside. Outside air at 30 degrees and 100-percent humidity will have humidity of less than 25 percent when warmed up to 70 degrees. Many newer homes have built-in humidifiers, but commonly they are not maintained and do a poor job. For less than $30,

a simple hygrometer gives an accurate reading of the relative humidity level. To correct a dry air situation, homeowners should first make sure the heating system duct work is not leaking. A tight duct system saves energy and reduces the amount of outside air coming in the house. Look at both the supplies and the returns in the crawl space, attic or unconditioned basement. Secondly, seal any air leaks around windows, doors, plugs in outside walls, and other openings to the outside. If the house has a gas furnace, check for the presence of an outside air supply directly to the furnace room. This is typical in newer homes, but may not exist in older homes. This outside air supply reduces the amount of outside air brought into the rest of the house. If the furnace is not energy efficient, consider upgrading to a sealed combustion unit. Rated over 90-

percent efficient, these units are eligible for state and federal tax credits. Potential problems can be created when adding moisture to the air in winter.

When outside air and inside air contain the same amount of water, typically condensation will not accumulate on windows, non-insulated walls, or other cold surfaces.

ment therapy with a weekly support group. As many as 45 percent of heavy smokers who use the CooperClayton method successfully stop smoking. Cooper-Clayton is sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Health Department, the Tobacco Prevention Coalition of Northern Kentucky, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Northern Kentucky University and the Kentucky Cancer Program. Classes, which are offered in the fall, winter

and spring each year, fill up quickly. To register for the program or for more information on the Cooper-Clayton classes, please visit http://www.nkyhealth.org or call 859-363-2093 or 859-824-5074.

Find out if the charity has an on-the-ground presence in the impacted areas.
