BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Jail sentence delays oath of office

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

WALTON — Even after election results were certified, a string of legal issues and conflicting reports made it uncertain who would be leading the city of Walton.

City attorney Timothy Noyes led five of the six incoming City Council members in the oath of office after the Dec.10 council meet-

ing.

Taking the oath were returning council members Mike Wood and Mark Carnahan and newcomers Matthew Brown, Margie Stewart and Olivia Ballou.

Ballou, who won the seat on a coin toss after tying with Robert McDonald for the final seat in the election, had given conflicting reports about her plans to take office. Ballou said her husband got a new job and they were moving out

of the city, but she will serve until they move.

Absent from the swearing in was Gabriel Brown, the second highest vote earner in the election. Brown was being held in the Boone County Jail that night. He was serving his sentence for possession of marijuana and operating a motor vehicle under the influence Nov. 8 in Henry County.

Brown was fined and sentenced to 180 days in jail, which was re-

Gaines Tavern hosts an old-time Christmas

First Church hosts an ‘Old Kentucky Christmas’ season and make family memories at First Church of Christ Burlington’s “An Old Kentucky Christmas” celebration.

A number of activities are planned from 6-9 p.m. Dec 14 and 15, and from 4-9 p.m. Dec.16, at the church, 6080 Camp Ernst Road, Burlington.

The church’s annual Christmas candlelight service will be at 7 p.m. all three nights and also at 5 p.m. Dec. 16.

“This is our Christmas gift to the community,” said outreach pastor Brian Heckber.

The free event is a “way for families to come in and make memories.”

While the church typically offers candlelight services, this year they went “all in.”

Guests will be able to stop by a visitor center for a free candy cane and bag for goodies, Grandma’s Cookie Shop to decorate cookies, Sweet Tooth Candy to make their own chocolate-covered candy, a woodworker’s shop for a demonstration by an old fashioned woodworker and to decorate an ornament, a candle maker’s shop to dip their own candle, watch people spin wool and play games enjoyed by pioneer children.

There will also be a petting zoo and living Nativity as well as horse-drawn carriage rides around the campus with draft horses.

Families can have a family photo taken that will be printed to take home.

WALTON — Santa Claus visited Gaines Tavern History Center on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 9.

The city of Walton hosted its annual Christmas open house at the three-story brick Federal house built about 1814. A Christmas tree decorated with vintage ornaments and dried fruits graced the parlor.

Hostesses wearing hoop skirts and 1800s dresses greeted visitors. A paper chain garland made by Walton-Verona Elementary School first-graders wound around the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.

Walton-Verona Elementary School dulcimer players played Christmas carols. Visitors drank iced punch and ate homemade cookies in the kitchen.

The open house celebrated Christmas, Walton, and high school and middle school volunteers acting as tour guides.

“This has been a house of tragedy and love,” said John Stephenson. The local historian and former Kentucky superintendent of public instruction, told stories about the Gaines house in the parlor. According to the story, Robert Harrison and William Northcutt attended a ball given at the house during the 1840s. Both men were courting the same girl. When she chose Harrison, an outraged Northcutt removed Harrison’s wig, exposing his bald head.

“Harrison took a dagger, and immediately stabbed Northcutt to death,” said Stephenson.

The Gaines History Center brochure notes that a death notice appeared in the Daily Commonwealth for Northcutt dated June 28, 1880. Harrison died in 1893.

Stephenson ended his presentation singing “My Old Kentucky Home,” accompanied by Addie Hincks playing the piano. Hincks attends Walton Verona Middle School. Visitors sang along.

Upstairs, three student volunteers pointed out historic features. Erin Beighle, WaltonVerona Middle School, showed the girl’s room. “All of the mantels in this house are original,” said Beighle. “The one in this room is the only one that hasn’t been repainted.”

“I want you to know the city of Walton is behind you,” resident Art Green told Trzop.

The vote of confidence was echoed by Wood.

“Phil, you have our support and the support of the community, and I hope you stay mayor regardless of how things turn out for you,” Wood said.

Trzop admits it’s been a wild month in Walton, but he’s confident that he and the new council are ready to lead the city.

Ryle High School senior Kristen Green showed the men’s room.

Kristen visited the history center during last October’s ghost walks and decided to volunteer.

“This is where the men did the business and smoking,” she said, pointed to a humidor.

Lauren Pennell, Ryle Middle School, showed the boy’s room. “I think it was maid’s room, or the help’s room,” said Lauren.

She showed the balcony built outside the room leading to narrow stairs reaching the ground.

“Originally, they had a summer kitchen, and the help brought food up the stairs and through this room.”

Abner Gaines, for whom the center is named, settled 20 miles south of Cincinnati in

1785. He built a log cabin, and cleared land. His slaves built the threestory house around 1814.

By 1818, Gaines was advertising his Gaines Stagecoach Line carrying passengers and mail between Cincinnati and Lexington.

The stagecoach journey took 24 hours traveling on the CovingtonLexington Turnpike. Historians say the house was used as a tavern and inn by travelers.

Former Acting Mayor Paula Jolley greeted guests wearing vintage dress. “It was a such a privilege to work on this house, the preservation of history,” said Jolley.

Six-year-old Anna Seidl expressed the heart of the event. “My favorite part was taking pictures with Santa,” she said.

“I feel like this is going to be a huge turning point in the life of our church,” said Heckber, not only for morale, but as an “opportunity to engage with our community and to show them that we love them and want to serve them.”

Heckber said he’s excited to see the event come together.

It provides a chance to “create memories as a family,” as well as “show kids how things used to be.”

“We want people to experience us and say ‘wow – they did all this stuff to provide my family with this experience.’”

rom where Gayl Rotsching stands, everything is back on track for the 67th season of the Duke Energy Holiday Trains.

How so? He has new stories to tell.

His new train tales came from chatting with visitors last year at his post by the control panel of the revered display he considers to be “the essence of Cincinnati.”

To him, “the trains,” as learned locals call them, “are about history” as well as “tradition, little kids, Christmas, family and generations of families. It’s not unusual to see four generations of one family come together. When these trains open for the season, they signal that the holidays in Cincinnati have arrived.”

Last year at this time, Rotsching and other Cincinnatians familiar with the trains that first pulled into the Downtown lobby of the old Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co. building in 1946, were not so sure the

tradition could be maintained in its new home.

The layout had moved to the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal.

Many feared that with the move the spell, the magic of the trains, which have attracted 9.15 million visitors over the years, had been broken.

“It was a big change,” Rotsching admitted. “And Cincinnatians don’t like their traditions to change.”

That showed at the turnstile. Attendance plunged from 300,000 in 2010, the

last year the trains were seen for free Downtown, to 150,000 in 2011, the trains’ first year, with an admission charge, at the terminal.

As the railroad buff spoke, he stood in the display’s new observation deck, which resembles a railroad yard’s control tower. From this vantage point, Rotsching took in the trains he has seen every year they have been on display – the first 32 as a visitor and the last 35 as a trainmaster while a Duke employee, then a retiree and now a volunteer.

“Going to that big, old Gas & Electric Co. art-deco building at Fourth and Main was part of the tradition, too. But now, the

trains’ visitors are going to one of the art-deco treasures of the world,” Rotsching said. “I get choked up when I say this.

Union Terminal is one of world’s greatest railroad stations and an art-deco masterpiece.”

Last year, Rotsching worked hard to break the ice with visitors. “They came in quietly, like they were in reverence.”

“I just started grabbing people and telling them about the trains,” he said.

“That made it fun for me. I was used to people coming up to me at Fourth and Main.”

Six years ago, a man asked Rotsching if his 8year-old nephew could touch one of the engines.

“That’s a no-no,” Rotsching replied, “based on the trains’ history, their age and their one-of-a-kind status.”

The uncle whispered, “My nephew is blind.”

Say no more. Rotsching lifted a black steam engine from a side track and placed it on the railing between the control panel and a swarm of visitors.

“That young man slowly moved his hand over the top of the engine. He told me about every part in great detail,” Rotsching recalled. “He knew how a locomotive was made, how it worked. His uncle had taught him. They went to the Bellevue, Ky., yard to hear and feel the trains’ rumble.”

Rotsching wiped his hand over his mouth.

“The stories about these little kids choke me up,” he said. Then, he added: “I live for this time of the year and the chance to see their little faces.”

Aero parking a concern

By Stephanie Salmons

“We’ll be patrolling the area to make sure there’s no overnight parking. ” According to County Administrator Jeff Earlywine, the judge-executive’s office has received calls expressing concerns.

The county wants to be a good neighbor, he said, “and to that end, we’ve got a duty to monitor and police the area to make sure that we don’t have issues with overnight vehicles, trash or litter or that sort of thing, so we’re willing to be a good neighbor.”

The county had also planned to repave the lot, but decided to forgo that repaving.

Because of the popularity of the walking path constructed along with the newly opened Aero Parkway, Boone County has provided a place for residents to park.

“We have provided a parking lot for use of that pedestrian path,” county engineer Greg Sketch said.

The gravel lot is located near Zig Zag Connector, which connects Zig Zag Road and Aero Parkway.

“We have some signs directing people to it,” he said. “We’re trying to get people to use that. There’s no parking in the future connecting road pull-offs, so we’re just encouraging people to use that parking area.”

According to Sketch, it was a construction lot and it was determined toward the end of the road construction period that there would be a need for parking “because we already saw usage of the path after it was put in.”

It was a spot that worked well and could access the path easily.

Commissioner Charlie Walton agreed with the need for parking but said there are some nearby residents concerned “that it’s right there where people have access viewing into their home and a number of safety concerns that they have.”

In response to questions from Walton, Sketch said signs will be posted that there will be no overnight parking – a county ordinance.

“We don’t want to prejudge it and assume it’s going to work forever, so we left it as gravel, so that in six months or a year, if we have to look back and say ‘well, we haven’t been a good neighbor,’ or there have been other problems crop up, that the taxpayers won’t lose by pulling up a new paved parking lot,” Earlywine said.

“We’ll just be pulling out gravel, most of which has been there for two years, supporting a construction trailer.”

Commissioner Matt Dedden said after looking at the area, he didn’t think it’s the best location for a parking area.

Mayo Clinic partnership slated

By Cliff Peale cpeale@enquirer.com

Dr. Heidi Murley hadn’t seen this particular tumor in this particular location before.

Located in the underarm of her female patient, the granular cell tumor was lodged near a critical nerve.

Murley removed the benign tumor from her patient at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, but remains concerned.

“I’m sure there are microscopic tumor cells left there on that nerve,” said Murley, a general surgeon at St. Elizabeth.

So Murley has requested an electronic consult-

undisclosed fee to join the network but said patients will not pay any more because of the partnership.

For that fee, its doctors and patients will get access not only to the consultations, but also a database of clinical advice, the Mayo Clinic research and its “innovation center” on how to design all aspects of the patient’s experience.

When they order an “eConsult,” doctors here will create an electronic medical record at the Mayo Clinic, to be reviewed by the doctor there.

The review normally will take a couple of days.

ing session with a doctor at the Mayo Clinic, the world-renowned health system in Minnesota.

The session is available because St. Elizabeth is one of only 10 members of the new Mayo Clinic Health Care Network.

St. Elizabeth, one of the four big health systems in this region and a near monopoly in Northern Kentucky after its acquisition several years ago of rival St. Luke Hospitals, is the exclusive Mayo partner here.

That boosts its efforts to attract patients and doctors that otherwise might have gone to Cincinnati’s biggest health systems.

on Sunday in Florence, a business must have dining facilities with a minimum seating of 100 people at tables and at least half of the business’s annual gross income must come from the sale of food – neither of which apply to the American Legion.

Post commander Mike Moses is lobbying to get Florence’s restrictions loosened.

“I’ve been hunting down a loophole for two years,” Moses said.

Because the restrictions are limited to Florence, many American Legion regulars would just go to posts in Kenton County on Sundays, he said.

“Five miles down the road we have another American Legion that can serve alcohol on Sundays,”

Moses said.

Moses has been working with city coordinator Rick Lunnemann to get the restrictions removed.

“Kentucky state law allows us to make some changes,” Lunnemann said.

Lunnemann recommended City Council vote to amend the city’s Code of Ordinance to strike those regulations.

“This changes nothing else. It changes no times for alcohol sales restrictions on Sundays,” said Mayor Diane Whalen.

Council was scheduled to vote on the first of two readings to amend the restrictions Dec. 11.

Moses is “ecstatic” at how receptive council has been to the changes, he said.

Police target poor driving Community Recorder

The campaign will have both an enforcement and educational component to assist in getting the message out to motorists. There will be more visible enforcement in crash corridors, more roving patrols, and an increase in safety checkpoints across the state.

For more information, contact your local post or call the state police public affairs branch at 502-7821780.

The Kentucky State Police has kicked off a six-month enforcement campaign called Operation Remove Aggressive, Impaired and Distracted drivers from Kentucky Roadways.

Facebook Santa helping needy

By Libby Cunningham Lcunningham@nky.com

NEWPORT — Brian Delaney has little room to move inside his green and brown minivan.

Plastic containers, with labels describing clothing for different age groups, crowd the interior of his vehicle as he waits for it to be emptied in a Newport parking lot.

In eight days the minivan has traveled 1,200 miles, sometimes full to the brim, picking up or delivering donations.

In only eight days the Erlanger resident has reached out to more than 150 needy families by in-

viting them to post in the Facebook group “Helping needy families for Christmas.”

“They go on to our Facebook and they’ll write ‘in search of’ what they’re looking for their children,” Delaney said. He investigates the posters’ profiles to make sure they’re not scammers.

After that help pours in from his resources, including his own closet and very full shed.

With the help of volunteers like Elizabeth Haines and Brandy Mort, Delaney then figures out a way to get presents to people.

He sets up meeting times and places to distribute items, careful to suggest recipients park away from stores, since he doesn’t want to cause any trouble, he said.

Cynthia Scales, of Alexandria, approaches Delaney’s car for a container with clothing.

“My daughter asked me who I was talking to,” Scales said of her initial call to Delaney. “I said ‘I’m talking to Santa.’”

The pregnant mom of four needs some help getting gifts for the holiday, so she contacted him. The other day, she got a riding toy for her 20-month-old child through the Facebook group.

N. Ky. gains clout in state Senate

By Scott Wartman swartman@nky.com

FRANKFORT — Northern Kentucky’s state legislative delegation will have two members in the leadership of the Kentucky Senate.

The Kentucky Senate Republican Caucus on Nov. 27 elected State Sen. Damon Thayer, RGeorgetown, as Republican floor leader and re-elected State Sen. Thayer Katie Stine, RSouthgate, to her position as Senate president pro tem. The current Senate floor leader, Sen. Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, will succeed David Williams as Senate president.

The Republican caucus took about three hours to elect its leadership but wouldn’t divulge the vote totals. The full Senate must still approve the elections when it convenes in January, but many expect it will since the Republicans control the chamber.

Stine welcomed another Northern Kentucky representative at the leadership table. “It will be nice to have somebody else sitting at the last step

of the budget besides just myself,” said Stine, who has served as Senate president pro tem since 2005 and ran unopposed for the position this time.

“So that will be a definite advantage.”

Thayer’s district includes southern Kenton County and Grant County.

As floor leader, he will serve as spokesman for the party’s position on issues and schedule business on the floor of the Senate.

“We have to recognize the fact that we are here to craft policy for the entire state,” Thayer said. “I think Northern Kentucky has done quite well with the members from the region who serve in the Senate.

“I also represent central Kentucky as well and live in central Kentucky. ... I do think it shows Northern Kentucky has had a lot of increase of influence over the last 10 years.”

Williams’ appointment in November by Gov.

Steve Beshear to a circuit court judgeship led to jockeying by Republican senators for leadership openings.

The senators didn’t speculate on how the new leadership will affect specific issues. Stivers said there will be differences in style from Williams but not in core beliefs.

“We all have different styles,” Stivers said. “People will have to draw judgments based on how they see I work with Damon Thayer versus the way David worked with me. ... I think the people know that David and I have differing styles, but this core group here, we have the same core beliefs.”

Williams and Gov. Steve Beshear had a contentious relationship, and tension ran high after Beshear defeated Williams in the 2011 gubernatorial race. Stivers said the Senate wants dialogue with both sides but wouldn’t say how the new Senate leadership will differ from the old one.

For Farrer, retirement is a piece of (cup)cake

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

FLORENCE — For some, retirement means travel, family and relaxation. For Beth Farrer it means going back to the kitchen.

Farrer is opening the new Gigi’s Cupcakes in Florence.

The cupcake chain has expanded to about 75 stores in 14 states since it originally opened in 2008.

“I have been looking at Gigi’s for a long time,” Farrer said.

By trade, Farrer was a corporate chef who had eventually moved on to management.

“I missed being in the kitchen,” she said.

Farrer was able to work out an early retirement and is moving on to open Northern Kentucky’s first Gigi’s.

“I decided my next venture would be sugar and flour,” Farrer said.

Visiting Gigi’s is different experience each day.

The menu changes daily, and every day there will be between12 and 20 different flavors available.

“Our cupcake experts

Beth Farrer is opening Northern Kentucky’s first Gigi’s Cupcakes on Mall Road. JUSTIN B. DUKE/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER will be able to walk those folks through the different flavors,” Farrer said.

At the opening, Gigi’s will have 10 employees and offer delivery service for special events like weddings. Once the store is established, Farrer hopes to have a food truck and mobile bakery service.

Gigi’s will be located at 7753 Mall Road.

Walton mayor pleads not guilty Court case could go to grand jury this week

By Brenna R. Kelly bkelly@nky.com

BURLINGTON — An attorney for Walton Mayor Phil Trzop said Dec. 4 that his client never personally benefited from scrapping some $34,000 in metal from the Boone County water utility he manages.

Trzop appeared in Boone District Court on Dec. 4, where he pleaded not guilty to abusing the public trust. Trzop, 62, who is also general manager of the Boone County Water District, was arrested Nov. 16 after sheriff’s deputies said he used money from the sale of the district’s scrap metal to pay district employees Christmas bonuses.

Investigators say they also recovered an undisclosed amount of cash from Trzop’s Walton home.

“We’re trying to resolve these matters as easily as possible for all us,” said

“As I understand it, (Trzop) has done a great job for the public, both as a mayor and in his other position.”

BURR TRAVIS

Trzop’s attorney

Burr Travis, who is representing Trzop. “The circumstances will ultimately show that Mr. Trzop had no personal benefit per se from anything that was involved here.”

Travis told District Judge Guy Hart that his client also wanted to forgo a preliminary hearing and waive the case to the Boone County grand jury. The grand jury could take up the case this week.

Trzop, who attended the hearing with his wife and daughter, did not comment after court.

“Mr. Trzop is a very good man. I think he’s been good for the community,” Travis said, “and as I understand it has done a great

job for the public, both as a mayor and in his other position.”

Sheriff’s investigators said they determined about $34,000 in metal was scrapped between January 2009 and November of this year. After questioning Trzop, roughly $10,000 in funds was still unaccounted for.

Trzop was released from the Boone County Jail after posting 10 percent of a $20,000 property bond, which was reduced from an initial $50,000 cash bond.

After his arrest, the Water District Board voted to suspend Trzop without pay.

Trzop, who was sworn in as mayor six days after the election, has said he will not resign from that office.

He is scheduled to serve until the end of 2014.

The charge of abuse of public trust is a Class C felony, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. According to Kentucky Revised Statutes, the office of mayor would be vacated if Trzop pleads guilty to, or is convicted of, a felony.

FLORENCE — Dorothy Freeman’s legacy is on a lot of children’s heads.

Freeman, 81, of Florence, recently turned in 348 hats she’s knitted to Hope Ministries.

Freeman started knitting about four years ago after she moved in with her daughter Debbie Hunter.

“She was trying to get me something to do,” Freeman said.

After trying a few different hobbies, knitting just clicked.

Freeman quickly ran out of friends and family members to give hats, and she began looking for ways her talent could help others.

“I wanted to do something for the little ones,” Freeman said.

Freeman started knit-

ting hats for infants and children and donating them to Care Net Pregnancy Services in Florence and Hope Ministries’ Children of Hope Christmas Party.

The party, scheduled for Dec. 8, provides Christmas gifts for 31 adopted families and each child is given a coat, gloves and a handmade hat knitted by Freeman.

“What a saint she is,” said Jackie Shelton, director of Hope Ministries.

Freeman’s tireless work means it’s one more thing each child can get to have a great Christmas, Shelton said.

After seeing the faces of the children who got hats at last year’s Christmas party, Freeman was eager to get back to work to make sure there were plenty of hats

this year.

“My favorite part was having the little boys say ‘Thank you Miss Dorothy for my hat,’” Freeman said.

Knitting that many hats has become a labor of love for Freeman. She usually can finish about four infant hats or two child hats in a day. Once she starts, she may occasionally pause to glance at the TV, but she just keeps working, Hunter said.

“That’s all she does all the time,” she said.

Of course making and donating that many hats has gained Freeman a lot of attention, but that was never what she was looking for.

“I don’t do it for the honor, I do it for my Lord,” Freeman said.

School lab gets students building pasta towers

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

FLORENCE — Students are building towers and critical thinking skills.

Erpenbeck Elementary completed its first run of the STEAM Lab extension period.

Combining science, technology, engineering, art and math, the STEAM Lab is designed to give students a practical understanding of the five disciplines while helping them develop critical thinking skills.

The first run of the STEAM Lab was done with fifth-graders.

“They were asked to build the Leaning Tower of Pasta,” said fifth-grade teacher Colleen Warman.

Students used engineering skills to determine tension, load and compression as they constructed towers with dry pasta and marshmallows.

Getting the towers together required plenty of research, said instructional coach Kim Thomsom.

“They had to do a lot of reading,” Thomsom said.

As the project progressed, students were really into their towers, she said.

“The students were so engaged,” Thomsom said.

By the end of construction,

some towers could stand on their own, while others couldn’t. The key, however, was getting students to reflect on what they did so they could understand why their tower stood or fell so they could learn from the experience, Thomsom said.

This kind of thinking is important as Kentucky moves toward its next generation science standards that focuses more on critical thinking, connecting in a team and reflecting on results, she said.

“It’s not about the sit and get anymore,” Thomson said.

Erpenbeck is putting such a large emphasis on the STEAM skills that the lab is being scheduled in with the extension period, which has been traditionally reserved for boosting reading and math comprehension.

“Our plan is that every student at Erpenbeck get a rotation,” Thomsom said.

Of course, word spreading around the school about building pasta towers is getting students excited about their turn in the STEAM Lab, and Warman has a perfect followup project in mind, she said.

“We’ve already got the next rotation planned; we’re building roller coasters,” she said.

Burlington families get Thanksgiving help

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

BURLINGTON — With a little help, Thanksgiving dinner happened for many families.

The Burlington Elementary Family Resource Center gave away all the food needed for a Thanksgiving dinner for more than 50 families in the the school’s community.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Jennifer Hater, who leads the resource center.

The center has given out Thanksgiving meals since it was founded more than a decade ago, but as time goes on, more families are looking for help, Hater said.

“Each year the number of families in need grows. This is our biggest year,” she said.

Much of the food is provided from the school’s students and their families.

volunteers in the family resource center.

As the demand has risen, the usual donation just wasn’t enough to provide for everyone in need this year, Biddle said.

“The supplies just weren’t there,” she said.

To make sure everyone could get a meal, the center got some help. Boone County Public Works donated the turkeys and

the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 4, based in Florence, pitched in with several bags of groceries.

Thanks to the money raised through their Halloween dance, the American Legion had money to give away to help during Thanksgiving, said Norb Lankheit, squadron commander.

Lankheit worked with Remke in Hebron, which gave them groceries at cost and donated some extra money. The result was about $300 worth of groceries donated to the family resource center.

Burlington Elementary’s center is one of 10 family resource centers across Boone County.

Each center did similar efforts to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for those who wouldn’t be able to themselves, Hater said.

“We are really trying to help as many Boone County families as we can,” she said.

Coaches often profess a love for experienced players. Translation: They want seniors on the roster.

Thanks to Kentucky’s rule allowing middle school players to compete on the varsity level, Ryle High School head coach Patti Oliverio has more than the usual level of experience on her squad in the form of seniors Dawn Johnson and McKell Oliverio, her daughter.

“It’s nice, really nice, to have players like that,” Coach Oliverio said. “McKell is the acetylene torch and Dawn is like the little spark. They make our team go.”

The lone returning starters from last season torched opponents in the early going. Johnson averaged six steals and six

“This is a group of girls who really loves to play,” Coach Oliverio said. “So far they have great balance - nobody has taken more than 10 shots in a game – which gives other defenses a lot to handle. Everyone can step up and make a shot.”

youth games and two to five major concert events.

Each UC Health Stadium event will continue bringing revenue into the Florence community and neighboring hotels and restaurants through the 2022 season.

Fans can look forward to changes in the marquee, scoreboard, stadium entrance, website and more in the months to come as the ballpark transforms into UC Health Stadium.

An official unveiling of the stadium will come in the spring of 2013.

The Freedom will enter 2013 with not only a new stadium naming-rights partner, but with momentum the field as well. Last season, the Freedom made an appearance in the playoffs and Frontier League championship series for the first time in franchise history.

Season tickets and ticket plans are currently on sale for the Freedom’s 2013 season and start at less than $8 per ticket.

UC Health Stadium and the Freedom are located at 7950 Freedom Way in Florence and can be reached at 859-594-HITS (4487).

tion to being recruited as potential college players – are approaching milestones in their final high school seasons.

Point guard Johnson could end her career as the second-leading scorer in Ryle history behind her friend and current Xavier University freshman Jenna Crittendon.

On the other side of the ball, she is only 30 steals

from becoming the career leader in that category.

“She has the complete game,” Coach Oliverio said. “She’s a great defender and she’s so fast and so strong with the ball. She’s worked really hard on her outside game coming into this year and that’s made her very difficult to defend.”

Said Johnson: “My defense allows me to get the ball in the open floor.

Most people can’t really handle the ball under pressure; they kind of

freak out and try to get rid of it. I’m always around the ball and I get a lot of run outs.”

McKell Oliverio plays the wing and likes to drift into the corners for open shots on kick-out passes from the post. She hovers on the verge of becoming the fifth Ryle player in the last four seasons to join the 1,000-point club.

“I wouldn’t say it was a goal of mine, but it would be nice,” she said. “I’m more worried about us winning, about us getting better from now until the

end of the season.

“For softball we’ve made it to state every year since I was a freshman. I really want to get there in basketball. We lost a lot of starters from last year and this is a tough region, so I don’t think people are expecting us to be that good, but we’ve got that underdog motivation.”

Johnson agreed.

“We’re playing well together. We have really good chemistry and a lot of people are going to be surprised by us.”

A little bit about Belleview, McVille The river towns of Belleview and McVille, located side by side in the Belleview Bottoms, were born three-quarters of a century apart.

Belleview was platted in 1815

by Colonel Edward Meeks, who christened it Mount Vernon. An 1816 issue of the Western Spy, Margaret Warminski published in Cincinnati, COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST described the COLUMNIST town as “located in the midst of a high fertile bottom and inhabitants wealthy and industrious with their surplus products such as wheat, flour, tobacco, cheese and butter sold.” Although the town was officially named Grant in 1869 and mail was sent to the Grant Post Office, the name “Belleview” stuck.

Like Petersburg and Big Bone, Belleview was a steamboat town built on shipbuilding and river trade. By the 1860s the town had two tobacco ware-

houses, a hotel and several stores. One of the major enterprises was a basket factory, which used riverfront willows.

Two churches served the faithful: Baptist and Church of Christ. In 1878 James McIntyre built a combination residence and post office for Jonas Clore, inscribing his name and the date on a closet door. During the 1900s a graded school and a bank opened their doors.

The town was served by the Burlington-Belleview Turnpike (present Ky. 18), which led to the county seat and nearby Middle Creek. By 1883 Belleview had 100 residents.

Following the decline of river traffic in the late 19th century, the commercial life of Belleview faded. During the 1937 Ohio River flood, the town and much of the surrounding farmland were inundated. Despite changing currents, Belleview remains one of the best-preserved towns in the county: its houses, churches and commercial build-

Is it time to refinance your mortgage?

Looking to lower your monthly payments? Are you looking to consolidate debt?

In today’s recovering economy, these questions are top of mind for many borrowers.

Millions of Americans are “underwater” or faced with the challenge of owing more on their mortgages than their homes may be worth and are struggling to make monthly payments. With extended government proBob Lewis grams and COMMUNITY currently low RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST mortgage rates, refinancing may be a simple and beneficial option to help you and your family save money and stay in your home.

In the simplest terms, refinancing your home mortgage allows you to apply for a new term and interest rate to help you pay off an existing loan.

By taking advantage of a lower interest rate, you may be able to reduce your monthly payments and lower your overall mortgage costs.

This can be especially helpful for underwater borrowers struggling to make current loan payments due to a change in a financial situation or when faced with other significant expenses. Money saved through refinancing also may increase your individual cash flow and help you pay off or consolidate other debt, including credit cards.

Refinancing also may allow you to shorten the length of your mortgage term. If you have additional funds available, you may be able to adjust your loan to a shorter term with a lower interest rate, which can ultimately help you pay off your mortgage loan faster.

Many homeowners may be eligible for the government’s enhanced Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP),

which was designed in 2009 to help underwater borrowers refinance. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced significant modifications to this program, called HARP 2.0, which has been extended until December 2013.

This program continues to change, and some borrowers who were not qualified under the former program may qualify under HARP 2.0.

The HARP 2.0 program can benefit borrowers, who are current on their mortgage payments and have not had a late payment in the past six months and no more than one late payment in the past 12 months. This program is designed for borrowers whose existing loan has been sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009.

To help you understand if refinancing is right for you, you should contact your current mortgage lender or another financial institution to review your available options.

Bob Lewis is senior vice president and head of Fifth Third Mortgage Co.

BOONE

COUNTY RECORDER

A publication of

ings still retain the flavor of a 19th century river community.

Just south of Belleview is McVille, founded by Green Isaac McMullen in 1881. A man of varied interests, he was a wharfmaster, tobacco dealer and contractor as well as a dealer in paint and varnish.

Overshadowed by its larger

neighbor, McVille remained a small community whose life was centered on the river. Several steamboats were built there, and it boasted a river landing and a ferry. As of 1883 it included four squares bisected by alleys.

In the 1910s the Louisville office of the Army Corps of Engineers began construction of a series of small, low-level, navigation dams along the Ohio. As part of this effort, Lock & Dam 38 was built in McVille beginning in 1926. Boone County residents welcomed the construction jobs although the dam also flooded some farmland and a small island used for picnics and camping.

In addition to the dam itself, the complex included four bungalow dwellings for workers, a lock house, storage buildings and a water tank. The dam site soon became a popular gathering place for local residents, who liked to sit on benches, enjoy the cool river breezes and watch pleasure boats “locking through”

the dam.

During the 1960s the small dams of the 1910s and ’20s were replaced by larger and more sophisticated structures. When the high-level Markland Dam was finished in 1962, Lock and Dam 38 was blown up; only a concrete walkway and small jetty now mark its place. The dam buildings were turned into a boys’ home and later into a women’s prison and halfway houses.

Dam construction also raised the river level from a pool of 16 to 26 feet, leaving the Front Streets of Belleview and McVille underwater. Today McVille is a small rural community much like its older neighbor, Belleview.

The Boone County Historic Preservation Review Board meets at 4 p.m. the second Thursday of most months.

Too old for technology?

Our culture professes that the modern world of technology is completely independent from the archaic sphere in which our grandparents reside.

I too shared this feeling until recently, when my allusions as such were quickly dismantled after conducting several interviews with the “elderly” of our society.

The majority of people in older generations who have an aversion to technology do so because of their resistance to change. Barbara Connor, a retired housewife living in Florida with her husband William, has had a difficult time adjusting to the new technological age. She says, “I really dislike new things, doesn’t matter what they are. I resist change, but then when I have it, I think it’s the most wonderful thing in the world.”

It wasn’t only that the opposed interviewees resisted change in general, but they also found the pace of change to be overwhelming. Helen Kreitzburg, a retired retail manager living in Pittsburgh, said, “For people like me, who are just beginning to use the device, it is really frustrating because I am still trying to get used to the old version when they come out with something new.”

Shirley Dershowitz, from New York, has coined her era the “sandwich generation” because most of them let the technological wave pass by without becoming very involved with it. She says, “Little by little we will be forced to use the computer, whether we like it or not ... we’re really the sandwich generation. We are being forced to change because we have too many years left.”

Although Mrs. Dershowitz is not ecstatic about this change, she understands it is bound to happen and will approach Alexa Schulte the challenge COMMUNITY head on.

RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST Instead of being “forced to change” as Mrs. Dershowitz stated, many grandparents have embraced this change, even welcomed it. For them, email, social networking and video chatting are used to communicate with family and friends.

Email is by far the most popular Internet activity among older generations because it is the easiest and most convenient form of correspondence. Robert Paul, my 72year-old grandfather who is also vice president of sales and marketing at Magna Group in Detroit, prefers email “because you don’t have to sit and wait around for an answer, which quite frankly, I don’t have time for.”

Although the majority of the interviewees said they did not operate a social media account, those who did stated the foremost reason was to increase communication with their grandchildren.

May Johnson says, “I only get on a few times a year, and when I do, it is to talk with Summer and Sydney (her grandchildren). They don’t answer their phones anymore, so Facebook is the best way.”

Skype and other forms of video chatting, although not exceedingly popular, are em-

ployed in the same way. Margaret Schrand will not go outside the house without a full application of makeup, so she adheres to these same rules when video-chatting her children and grandchildren. “Oh yes, I do enjoy Skyping Kimberly and her children,” she says, “but of course only if my makeup is on.” Her husband, John, was heard chuckling in the background.

Although each participant possessed a distinctive approach regarding his or her relationship with technology, prevalent throughout each phone call was the theme of courage. Our grandparents are diving into this strange and overwhelming realm of technology without an ounce of experience. Baptism by fire, you could say. I am humbled that I had the chance to hear these unconventional stories firsthand, but I also feel compelled to share it with willing ears.

It is for that reason that I am writing in my room on a Saturday afternoon. This is not a story of the meek and feeble, this is a story of determination, of not giving up. Although this strange new world has been thrust upon them, the “old” people are adapting. Shirley Dershowitz couldn’t have put it better when she said, “As you know, I don’t like things to change, but of course the only thing in life you can guarantee is that there will be change.

You might not always be ready for it, but you sure as hell better learn to embrace it.”

Alexa Schulte is a junior at Notre Dame Academy. She is interning at the Community Recorder.

DECEMBER 13, 2012 • BCR RECORDER • B3

Holiday fare: Ruth Lyons’ coffecake It’s interesting how your requests coincide with current events. The Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund is in full swing and I’ve had several requests for her famous coffeecake.

Rita It’s a speHeikenfeld cial way to RITA’S KITCHEN honor this woman who has had such a positive impact on us.

Ruth Lyons’ coffeecake

I have a few versions of this recipe, but this is the one that’s supposed to be Ruth’s original. I’ve made this twice now, once following the recipe below and once making it with 21⁄4 cups flour, 11⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, 1⁄2 cup oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla and no vinegar. (The vinegar is used to “sour” the milk, making it more like buttermilk). I made a thin icing to glaze it, as well.

The difference between the two was slight. This is a straightforward, simple coffeecake. If you want a richer tasting one with a thicker cinnamon topping, I have my holiday overnight coffeecake on my blog.

1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar, dark

preferred 21⁄2 cups flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 3 ⁄4 cup oil 1 teaspoon vinegar 1 cup milk 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the first six ingredients. Add oil and stir until crumbly. Reserve and set aside 3⁄4 cup for topping. Add vinegar to milk, then add to sugar mixture. Add egg and soda; mix well. Pour into a sprayed 13-inch by 9-inch pan. Sprinkle with topping. Bake 30 minutes.

Amish friendship bread/cake

Check out my blog for the starter and a good recipe.

My best clone of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark You didn’t think I could let the holidays go by without sharing yet another version, did you? Some of you have had trouble in the past with the bark shattering/separating.

That happens somewhat even with the purchased bark, but this recipe keeps that to a minimum, if at all. Out of all the recipes I’ve made for bark throughout the years, using different melting

One of these is Williams-Sonoma’s peppermint bark, one is Rita’s clone. Which do you think is which? THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. methods and chocolates, I’ve come back to my classic way of teaching students. By the way, check out the photo. Can you tell which is mine and which is Williams-Sonoma’s? I used Kroger real semi-sweet and white chocolate morsels.

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips, divided into 11⁄4 cup and 3⁄4 cup measures 11⁄2 teaspoons peppermint extract, divided into 1 teaspoon and 1⁄2 teaspoon measures 23⁄4 cups white chocolate chips, divided into 21⁄4 cup and 1⁄2 cup measures 1 ⁄4 cup crushed peppermint candy

Line a cookie sheet with one piece of foil, about 10 inches by 12 inches. Or do the same in a 13-inch by 9-inch pan.

Rita answers several reader requests for Ruth Lyons’ famous coffecake. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. Put 11⁄4 cups semi-sweet chocolate in heat proof bowl. Set over a saucepan that has 1 inch of steaming water, making sure bowl does not touch water. (This is a makeshift double boiler). Heat should be turned to low. Stir until chocolate is just about melted, then remove bowl

from pan and stir 3⁄4cup more in rest of semisweet chocolate, a bit at a time, until all is melted. If necessary, put the bowl back on the pan to help melt. If there’s any moisture on the bottom of the bowl, wipe it dry. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the extract and pour onto foil, spreading

in even layer. Tap pan on counter to remove any air bubbles. Let sit at room temperature until just about set, anywhere from 15-20 minutes. When you press your finger into the chocolate a very slight indentation will remain.

Put 21⁄4 cups white chocolate in clean bowl and repeat process for melting, stirring in remaining 1 ⁄2 cup chips after removing bowl from pan. Stir in 1 ⁄2 teaspoon extract. Pour over chocolate layer and spread.

Sprinkle with candy. If necessary, gently press into chocolate. Let set at room temperature until completely firm.

Peel bark off foil and break into pieces. Store, covered, at room temperature up to a month or so.

If it’s extremely warm in the house, store, covered, in refrigerator and bring to room temperature before eating.

Clarification for Moist & Flavorful Roast Beef technique The initial browning of the beef should be on top of the stove.

Catholic Charities honors volunteers Community Recorder

Catholic Charities volunteer appreciation brunch was celebrated on Dec. 1 at the Madison South in Covington.

The event, traditionally held on the first Saturday in December, kicks off the holiday season with an opportunity to thank all those who so generously support the work of Catholic Charities with their gifts of time and talent.

Bill Jones, executive director, welcomed the volunteers and their guests by expressing his thanks for all they do for our staff and clients.

“Our clients are so fortunate to benefit from your help and support during what are often some of the most challenging times of their lives. It is through your support in administrative and direct services that we leverage scarce dollars. We could nev-

er provide the quantity or quality of services we offer without your help,” Jones said.

The Mother of God Folk Ensemble was on hand for the 22nd year to set the tone for the gathering providing beautiful and inspirational music and an opportunity to welcome in the season of Advent.

The agency then recognized volunteers for their service to the agency. Those celebrating anniversaries were: » Five years, Diane Wendeln and Char Fieger » 10 years, Lisa Gastright and Phyllis Noll.

This year Mary Gray of Boone County celebrates 30 years as a volunteer at Catholic Charities.

Gray serves as the unpaid assistant volunteer coordinator with Joy Boothby. Her numerous activities with Catholic Charities include a stint as a member and

president of the agency’s board.

She has also served as a member CAVA, of the Board of Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home and as president of the Board of Welcome House.

The final recognition presented at the brunch was to Volunteer of the Year. This year the award has been named for Joy Boothby of Fort Thomas, the agency’s longtime volunteer coordinator who is celebrating her 40th year at Catholic Charities. Jones presented the award to Dianne Ruschman of Campbell County.

Ruschman has served for 12 years as a volunteer receptionist, offering a courteous and efficient welcome to those who visit the offices of Catholic Charities The celebration concluded with an appreciation from Bishop Roger Foys for the various ministries performed by the agency’s volunteers.

United Way raises $4 million Community Recorder United Way of Greater Cincinnati - Northern Kentucky raised $4,225,000 in its annual campaign, a key part of the region-wide United Way campaign.

This year’s result, coming in over goal, represented a 4.7 percent increase over the 2011 campaign.

The campaign cabinet appealed to business leaders and individuals to support United Way and its work in education, income and health as a way to

make lasting change in Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties. Strategies to reach this year’s goal included a focus on engaging more leaders, more companies, and more people in the campaign, as well as the availability of the Bold Goals Challenge Match for all new gifts and any existing leadership gift that reached a new leadership level.

The regional United Way of Greater Cincinnati campaign, which ran from Aug. 22 to Oct. 26, exceeded the 2012 campaign goal, raising $61.05 million.

EVENING OF HOPE HONORS BUTLERS Community Recorder The fifth annual “Evening of Hope … a Celebration of Life” took place Oct. 27 to benefit Cancer Support Community (CSC, formerly The Wellness Community).

About 335 friends and supporters enjoyed an outstanding evening featuring the Pink Flamingos along with a cocktail reception, dinner, raffle and auction.

Bill and Sue Butler were presented the 2012 Celebration of Life award in recognition of their longstanding support of Cancer Support Community’s free programs of support, education and hope for people affected by cancer.

They play a key role in donating space in the Look-

out Corporate Center to make it possible for CSC to operate a facility in Fort Wright to better serve people affected by cancer in Northern Kentucky.

Cancer Support Community has offered programs at the Fort Wright location for 15 years thanks to the Butlers’ generosity, and have recorded approximately 30,000 Northern Kentucky participant visits from people with cancer, their families and friends, and cancer survivors.

Co-chairs Marilyn and Chris Dolle led the planning for this event, along with committee members, Barbara Bushman, April Davidow, Linda Green, Bill Krul, Kelly Martin, Kathy Maxwell, Leonard Stokes and Lucy Ward.

Seniors receive gifts Community Recorder

Many older Americans are struggling to afford food to meet their basic dietary needs. This month, nearly 1,000 vulnerable older adults will receive a jar of peanut butter in addition to their Meals on Wheels delivery, thanks to donations from friends and neighbors during a food drive.

In October, Wesley Community Services, AARP Ohio and Walgreens asked area residents to “Spread Some Good” with donations of peanut butter at 57 local Walgreens stores in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The food drive, held Oct. 11-29, collected 1,180 pounds of peanut butter (940 jars).

The food drive is part of

the national AARP Drive to End Hunger; which promotes awareness about the serious problem of senior hunger. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service shows that in Ohio,15.5 percent of households were food insecure at some time during the year between 2009 and 2011, compared to 14.7 percent nationally.

While there are many similar food drives across the country, the effort in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky was different in its focus on a singular item.

The partnership also helped to assure that donations remained in the community.

Peanut butter is low in calories and is a source of fiber, protein, and good dietary fat. For older adults, the benefits of healthy eat-

Give the gift of hunting, fishing Community Recorder The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has announced its new gift certificate program just in time for the upcoming holidays. Shoppers can go online to the department’s website at fw.ky.gov and use a credit card to buy a gift certificate for a friend or loved one.

The certificate can be redeemed online to purchase hunting and fishing licenses or permits, or subscribe to the department’s award-winning magazine,

“Kentucky Afield.”

A special wizard program assists shoppers with determining the cost of individual licenses and permits. Shoppers simply click a box for each license or permit sought and the program will automatically total the cost.

Shoppers only need to supply the name of the person receiving the certificate. Personal information of the recipient is not needed for the certificate. Buyers can print out a certificate themselves to give to a person, or have it sent in an email to the lucky person.

ing include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, faster recuperation times and better management of chronic health problems.

Contributions can be made through the end of the year online to Wesley Community Services at 2091 Radcliff Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45204.

IS THERE A CATCH? The qualifying vehicle must be purchased and placed into service between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012. It must be used at least 50% for business, based on mileage, in the first year it is placed in service. So if you choose to use it for both personal and business use, the cost eligible for deduction would be the percentage used for business.

WHAT’S THE URGENCY? For 2013, all indications are that the Section 179 deduction limitation will be reduced to only $25,000 and any bonus depreciation deduction will be eliminated. So the December 31, 2012, deadline is approaching quickly.

CHOOSING A LIVE CHRISTMAS TREE Question: If I go with a “live tree” versus a cut Christmas tree this year, what type of pine do you recommend?

Answer: For planting in the landscape after the holidays, we generally recommend spruces over most pines or firs, although the Canaan Fir and Douglasfir (not a “true” fir) often perform well here. Norway Spruce is a fast grower, but Serbian Spruce and Oriental Spruce are a bit more showy.

Some people like the Colorado Blue Spruce.

The money usually spent on a disposable tree can be invested in a specimen that can add value to the landscape.

However, care must be taken when bringing a temperate tree indoors for any length of time and then transplanting it out-

doors, especially in the winter.

Here are some pointers to increase the chances of success. » Living trees are generally Mike marketed as Klahr either balled-andHORTICULTURE burlapped or CONCERNS potted plants.

Expect to pay more for a living tree than a cut tree and realize that nurseries may be reluctant to guarantee your purchase since the tree will not be planted during the normal planting season. » Consider where the tree will be placed in the landscape.

Most Christmas tree species will eventually reach a height of

at least 40-60 feet, so appropriate planning is essential. » Pick out the tree early so that a nicely shaped, vigorous plant can be chosen. But plan to keep the tree inside for no longer than seven to 10 days. In the interim, go ahead and dig a wide hole where the tree will be transplanted. Store the tree outside, keeping the roots moist. Having the hole dug ahead of time will avoid any problems of inclement weather after the holidays. » When it’s time to bring the tree indoors, the main concern is to protect the plant from drying out. Avoid placing the tree near a fireplace, heater or warm air vent. Keeping the tree on the cool side is preferable.

Place the tree in a large tub or cover the root ball in plastic to

Holiday decorations may increase risks of fires

Diane Mason EXTENSION NOTES

It can be a fun-filled time of the year with many sights, flavors and sounds to enjoy. However, with the holiday decorations and activities we may be increasing our risks of a fire without realizing it.

Lights on tree, candles burning, parties, extension cords strung to accommodate additional needs, and other practices may increase our chances for a fire.

According to Underwriters Lab-

oratories a house fire today can become uncontrollable in less than three minutes. Additionally, the smoke generated by today’s house fire has a higher level of toxicity than in previous generations. All of this may be due to our ever-increasing technology.

A few tips to remember as we continue to enjoy the season.

Check your smoke alarms to be sure they are working properly.

Always be sure to extinguish candles before leaving a room, going to sleep, or leaving the home.

Do not allow lit candles near items that may catch fire.

Do not leave a lit fireplace or burning embers unattended. Also, use a fireplace screen when possible to help prevent sparks and embers from jumping into the room. Be sure your fireplace and wood burning stove are in good condition and the
