Tax rate questioned

About seven people visited the Sept. 12 Campbell County Schools Board of Education meeting and questioned the school’s spending practices and recent approval of a new tax rate.

The board set a higher property tax rate for the year in August that will take 4 percent more in additional revenue than the compensating rate set by the state.

Tea Party protests library meetings

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

BUTLER - About eight people showed up at the Campbell County Public Library’s meeting at Plum Creek Christian Church to discuss the new planned South Branch – most wore yellow stickers stating “No new library.”

The library has set up six different community meetings where people can sit down, provide input and ask questions of library staff and board members one-on-one.

The new library, being planned

at the intersection of Parkside Drive and Alexandria Pike, will be 10 miles south of the next closest library in Cold Spring. Construction is slated to being in the spring of 2012 and be complete by May 2013.

The new branch will provide services to almost all the areas in the southern part of the county not served by nearby library with more than 14,000 people residing within a five-mile radius of the location, said JC Morgan, director of the library.

Lloyd Rogers, of Alexandria,

said the library shouldn’t be spending $5 million of tax dollars right now to build a new library.

Rogers said he was also opposed to the library’s property tax rate having been increased earlier this year during a bad economy.

Rogers said he and other members of Campbell County’s Tea Party attended both the Sept. 13 evening meeting at and the Sept.

14 afternoon meeting to protest the plans.

St. Thomas School is expanding their effort to improve students’ literacy and math skills using new screening, teaching and learning programs this year.

“We are focusing on kindergarten through secondgrade students, trying to address any problems they are having as early as possible so we can help them get past them before they get to the higher grades,” said Principal Sharon Bresler.

Stained Glass Walking Tour Oct. 15

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

After years of planning, Newport’s East Row Historic Foundation is preparing for its first-ever Stained Glass Walking Tour.

The tour, which is Saturday, Oct. 15, features about 40 decorative glass windows and doors in the East Row neighborhood, ranging from stained glass windows in churches to stained glass door panels in historic homes in the area.

Mary Beth Crocker, publicity chair for the event, said the idea for the tour came about when one of the foundation members mentioned making a poster featuring the stained glass pieces in the neighborhood.

“That idea eventually turned into the idea to have a walking tour of the stained glass in the area,” Crocker said. “The idea is to really show off the incredible amount of beautiful stained glass in our neighborhood.”

Crocker said the foundation has already received a lot of interest in the event, from people who are intrigued by it either because they are interested in stained glass or because they like historical places.

Every place featured on the tour, which is estimated to be about an-hour-and-half long, was built in 1920 or earlier.

The home of Mike and Michelle Noe, built on Park Avenue in 1891, is one of the homes featured on the tour.

Michelle Noe said she is proud to have her home, which includes several pieces of original stained glass, featured on the tour.

“I think any time we can demonstrate to the community how beautiful some of the historic places in the East Row are, it’s a great thing,” Noe said. “Tours like this bring in potential new residents and encourage historic preservation, which is really a labor of love.”

Noe said while keeping up the maintenance on historic home is hard work, it is nice to see people’s reactions when they see it.

“On nights like the (WEBN/Cincinnati Bell) fireworks, it’s nice to see all those people stopping to look at our home,” Noe said.

The tour also features homes with a variety of architectural styles and several that were originally owned by notable historic figures like General James Taylor,

the founder of Newport; George Wiedemann Jr., superintendent of the George Wiedemann Brewing Company; and Barney Kroger, founder of the Kroger Co. The event will begin and end at The Sanctuary, a century-old church that is now an event center that features three large memorial stained glass windows.

The tour begins at 7 p.m. at the Sanctuary, located at the corner of Sixth and Monroe streets, with a casual lecture on the history, design and artistry of decorative glass.

The walking tour will follow at the ticket holder’s leisure and continue until 10 p.m. A reception will be held back at the Sanctuary from 8:30-11 p.m. with complimentary hors d’oeuvres, drinks and wine.

Tickets are available prior to the event at www.eastrow.org.

There are 200 tour and reception tickets available for $12 and 150 tour-only tickets are available for $8. If any tickets are remaining the day of the event, the will be sold at the door from 7:15 p.m.-8 p.m. Only cash and checks will be accepted.

ALEXANDRIA – The Campbell County Schools Board of Education unanimously approved a revised “working” budget Sept. 12 that had more than $1.2 million in addition general fund money than anticipated in the “tentative” budget for the fiscal year passed in May. Superintendent Glen Miller announced a 17-point list of adjustments including increases in available general funds and spending added to the budget for positions, classroom technology and equipment for the district.

“It’s really for boosting student achievement,” said Miller of the additional funding. “We’re looking at student technologies.”

Miller said an additional $200,000 budgeted for classroom technology will be used to help create a “wireless campus” by upgrading all computers in the district. The district has 2,500 computers in use, and replacing many of them in a timely manner is a priority for the district.

“These are things we said we need to do right now to continue our progress toward boosting student achievement,” he said.

A larger than expected beginning balance came from a carryover in the previous year’s budget that ended July 1. The carryover brought in higher than anticipated additional revenues allowing for the additional expenses, Miller said.

The revenue side of Miller’s list of 17 adjustments to the budget included $411,904 additional beginning balance, $600,000 more in additional state SEEK revenue, $240,000 in additional projected taxes, and $6,000 more in other additional tax collection.

There was also a $30,000 reduction in the bus purchase budget.

On the expense side of Miller’s adjustments included the following additions to the working budget for 2011-12.

• $10,000 more in Family Resource Center allocations.

• $53,000 for an additional teacher at Campbell Ridge Elementary School in Alexandria.

• $27,000 for an additional half teacher’s position at Cline Elementary School in Cold Spring.

Fort Thomas Renaissance and several of the city’s businesses are preparing for the eight annual Merchants & Music festival from 4-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24.

The event, held in the Stables parking lot at the corner of South Fort Thomas Avenue and River Road, offers live music, food and gives the city’s businesses a chance to show what they have to offer.

“The concept for the event is to shed light on Fort Thomas businesses and what they had to offer and the city as a whole,” said Ken Bowman, chair of the Fort Thomas Renaissance.

Since it began eight years ago, the event has continued to grow, featuring more businesses and bringing in an increasing number of people.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds will headline this year’s Merchants & Music festival in Fort Thomas Saturday, Sept. 24. ple according the police department’s estimates, Bowman said.

This year, the event will feature booths from about 30 businesses, all giving visitors an idea of what they have to offer and in several cases, offering coupons and giveaways.

The live entertainment includes Tupelo Honey, the Rusty Griswolds, G. Miles & the Hitmen, and the headlining act, The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

For the sixth year, State Farm Insurance agent Tracy Davis is a sponsor of the event and will be setting up a booth, offering information about her business and

providing free activities for children.

Davis, who is participating in the event with Marian Sizemore and Joe Dalbey, two other State Farm agents located in Fort Thomas, said she feels it is great that the city puts on Merchants & Music every year.

“This event really promotes the businesses and shows that the city is truly trying to help us,” Davis said. “At State Farm, our big focus is building relationships, and this event really helps us build relationships with the city and our customers.”

Davis said she is amazed at how much work goes in

Another local business that participates in the event Sarellis Cafe, who has been involved with Merchants & Music for the past three years.

Owner Sarah Cole said she loves the event and looks forward to it every year.

“Merchants & Music is always so much fun for everyone, from the businesses to the visitors,” Cole said. “We spend weeks preparing for the event every year.”

Sarellis, who will be offering a variety of food during the event, also caters the food for the event’s bands, which Cole said is neat because they have been able to meet several bands over the years.

Along with spreading the word about Fort Thomas businesses, Cole said the event also promotes the city as a whole, so everyone involved benefits.

the afternoon Sept. 14 meeting about the new branch at Plum Creek Christian Church.

Most of the people attending the meetings were wearing the “No New Library” stickers, Morgan said. Morgan said he described attendance at the meetings as poor, and he’s hoping to draw more attendance at the upcoming meetings.

“I think a that a lot of supporters are just thinking

that the new branch is a given, but it’s not,” Morgan said.

The library can’t risk beginning a project like the South Branch before being certain the funding will be there, said Morgan in an email.

“We need the public’s support before we can move forward,” he said in the email.

• $30,000 for a maintenance vehicle.

• $50,000 budgeted for possible higher bus fuel.

Miller’s budget adjustments also included a higher budget contingency fund for the district than originally planned for.

The 2011-12 working budget passed Sept. 12 included a $1.085 million contingency fund, and is a little more than what the state requires districts to maintain in reserve for unexpected expenses, Miller said. The tentative budget approved in May listed a contingency of $976,485.

Board member Rich Mason said he wanted to thank the district’s director of finance, Mark Vogt, for putting together a conservative budget in the first place and working hard on it.

Campbell County Schools’ tax rate questioned cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA - About seven people visited the Sept. 12 Campbell County Schools Board of Education meeting and questioned the school’s spending practices and recent approval of a new tax rate.

The group included members of the Campbell County Tea Party, who regularly speak at Campbell County Fiscal Court meetings.

Erik Hermes, of Wilder, said the school district needs to consider the taxpayers, businesses and workers before raising taxes or approving more spending.

The board set a higher property tax rate for the year in August that will take 4 percent more in additional revenue than the compensating rate set by the state.

The additional 4 percent above the compensating rate is allowed for annually

tional facilities and programs, but said he didn’t think the district should have spent money to build a new athletics complex at this time.

Rich Mason and other board members responded to multiple comments and questions from the audience in an almost 20-minute back-and-forth exchange.

Mason said he takes spending people’s tax money seriously.

“The tax issue that was brought up, we don’t take that lightly,” Mason said.

“It’s our tax money too.”

Mason said the new construction on the area technology center will greatly benefit students.

“As far as the football field, I wasn’t convinced at first either,” he said.

That was until he heard the results of what kind of condition the existing stadium was in and how much it would cost to make repairs and upgrades, Mason said.

“As it turns out this sta-

without being subject to recall by voters. The property tax rate for 2011 was increased to 56.4 cents per $100 of assessed property valuation, up from last year’s rate of 54.7 cents per $100 of assessed value, said Mark Vogt, director of finance for the district.

The district’s estimated revenue for 2011 from property taxes will be approximately $17.29 million compared to $16.75 million collected in 2010, Vogt said.

Hermes, a county Tea Party leader, said he is in the construction industry, and he is making less money these days as taxing districts including Campbell County Fiscal Court and the school board are raising property tax rates.

“What I’m here to tell you is we can’t take it anymore,” he said.

J.R. Roth, of Cold Spring, another Tea Party member, said he didn’t mind tax money paying for educa-

pared to receiving about 60 percent of the district’s funding from the state 10 years ago, he said.

“That’s hard to make up,” Mason said.

Board member Pat Walch said he was a businessman in the remodeling industry, and he too took a big hit in this economy.

Walch said he’s also scrutinized each expenditure in the school district’s budget in his position and he doesn’t take his position lightly.

After the meeting, Walch thanked the residents who came for their comments and questions.

Board chairperson Janis Winbigler said the board did not take lightly the very difficult decision to embark on a capital construction project.

Most of the cost of the project, and the primary focus, is for the new area technology center and not the athletic stadium, Winbigler said.

dium we have only has about seven to nine years left,” he said.

Mason said football also pays to support the other athletics teams from the revenue it generates. Sports and other outside activities including band, which will use the field, are also good ways to provide students with an opportunity to learn leadership skills and gives them an incentive to stay in school until they graduate, he said.

“For some of those kids it’s what keeps them in school,” Mason said.

Mason said he also understands that nobody wants to pay higher taxes, but the state’s Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) formula that distributes state funding to districts has lessened the state’s funding of the district during the past 10 years.

St. Thomas expands efforts to improve literacy, math

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

St. Thomas School is expanding their effort to improve students’ literacy and math skills using new screening, teaching and learning programs this year.

For several years, the school has been working to identify and address problems students have with literacy and math skills as soon as possible, said Principal Sharon Bresler.

“We are focusing on kindergarten through second-grade students, trying to address any problems they are having as early as possible so we can help them get past them before they get to the higher grades,” Bresler said.

RECORDER

To enhance their efforts, the school will begin using the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) screening program later this month.

Through the program, students will be tested three times a year, in September, January and May, to track the progress they are making.

“DIBELS will help us pinpoint areas that individual students need to work on,” said Krista Baioni, the school’s Title 1 teacher.

“By testing for certain benchmarks three times a year, we are able to see if the students have made any progress.”

Baioni said the program is used at many other schools and has proven to be one of the best

research-based screening tools available.

Along with DIBELS, the school is also starting to use the Response to Intervention (RTI) method to help students who are struggling, Bresler said.

“Through RTI, teachers are trained on several different strategies to help children who are having problems,” Bresler said.

Another new tool the school will be using this year is the Study Island computer program, which allows teachers to personalize each students’ program to target skills a particular student is lacking, Bresler said.

The Gateway Community and Technical College cosmetology department is open for business.

Based on Gateway’s Park Hills/Covington campus, the cosmetology department offers discounted prices on hair cuts, hair coloring, manicures and other services.

“Everything you would expect from a beauty salon, only at a discounted price,” said Paula Brown, an instructor for the program for seven years.

Gateway’s prices usually work out to about half of what a salon would charge, Brown said.

The department has offered the service for a long time, but things have been especially busy lately.

“We just came back for the fall semester,” Brown said.

While the program offers discounted prices, the curriculum

ensures clients get experienced students doing the work, she said.

Before students can work with a client, they must have 450 clocked hours in book work and working with mannequins.

“We look for the students to gradually progress,” Brown said.

Overall the program requires 1,800 clocked hours, which typically takes about two years.

This means many of the students who are providing services at Gateway will be performing the same services at salon prices in just a few months, Brown said.

For information about the Gateway cosmetology program or to make an appointment call 859442-1190.

All services are done at the Park Hills/Covington Campus located at 1025 Amsterdam Road in Covington.

Fans cheer on local schools at marching band festival

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

It’s a Saturday afternoon and Beechwood High School booster parents are cheering. At the same time a Dixie Heights High School student is wearing a combat helmet spray-painted red as a marching band prepares to take the field.

The hoopla accompanies a competition that requires precision timing and footwork of students all while carrying a tune.

The Northern Kentucky Marching Band Festival in Alexandria, Campbell County High School’s biggest annual fundraiser, attracted 11 area high schools Saturday, Sept. 17, in a day-long display from noon to 10 p.m.

Nelda Purdon, of Fort Mitchell, led a group of adults in a round of rousing cheers prior to Beechwood High School’s band taking the field.

Purdon, aunt of freshman guard member Olivia Cavanaugh, said she attends every Beechwood band competition because the teens love the support.

“Call me the crazy band aunt,” Purdon said as she shook two homemade plas-

tic bottle noise-making shakers.

There are actually three “crazy band aunts,” who are a regularly part of the group, she said. “The better we are the better they are,” said Missy Litkenhaus, another one of the the aunts.

The band boosters and parent volunteers who help set up and build competition props are all part of what makes the competition shows possible, Litkenhaus said.

Lynn Mulligan, a third member of the “crazy band aunts” said it’s fun to go to the competitions.

“Because we have to support the kids, and we’re true band geeks,” Mulligan said.

Tracie Spencer, of Fort Wright, said she goes to a band competition every weekend for about eight weeks from the start of school through the end of October to help support her daughter Meg, a freshman at Beechwood who plays the clarinet.

“The kids love the support,” Spencer said.

For the students, prepping for competitions sometimes means more than practicing.

Prior to Dixie Heights High School’s marching band performing, Ben Nessler, a junior from Edgewood, was in the parking lot chatting with bandmates while wearing a painted red combat helmet with the word “Tuba Phones.”

“It’s tradition,” Nessler said of wearing the helmet.

About two years ago one of the other Sousaphone players made the helmet and wore it before each competition for fun, Nessler said. Austin Brough, a senior of Edgewood and a snare drum player, said it was his older brother who bought the helmet about two years ago.

“It says Tuba Phone on top as a joke,” Brough said.

For the students competing in the competitions it’s something they work toward all year and they’re serious about it, said Nick Little, director of Campbell County High School’s band.

“For the bands that perform at half-time on a Friday night, that isn’t always why they do what they do,” Little said.

The competitions are big reason why the students are

in band so they can measure themselves against not only other schools, but other individual players as well, he said. For the schools, it’s a display of what is good about music education and showing off the positives of programs, Little said.

The competitions are something the students look forward to, and so do the parents, Little said.

Campbell County’s marching band festival has been going on for more than 40 years, and it is also the single biggest fundraiser for the program, he said.

The money raised helps keep the fees lower for students in the marching band, and it’s also a good chance for people to see a home show instead of having to travel, Little said.

“We compete in seven competitions a year, plus we host one,” he said. “We have a lot of band alumni that come and watch, and the community support is great because we’ve been here so long.”

As host the high school’s “Campbell County Band of Pride” performs only an

exhibition show during the performance, and does not compete. This year’s competition also featured a guest performance

by Morehead State University’s marching band.

Leslie Bell of Alexandria, a parent volunteer and organizer of Campbell County’s competition, said a day of volunteering is often the first chance for band boosters to get to know one another while working alongside each other. Volun-

teers do everything from make food to sell tickets and operate booths together, she said. Bell said all three of her children have been in the marching band, and she loves going to the competitions and seeing all the bands.

“Without knowing what marching band is, you don’t know until you get involved what an adventure it is,” Bell said.

Participating schools in the 2011 Northern Kentucky Marching Band Festival hosted by Campbell County High School in Alexandria Sept. 17 included: Class 1A: Beechwood High School, Bellevue High School, Ludlow High School and Trimble County High School.

Class 2A: Lloyd Memorial High School, Christian Academy of Louisville, Carroll County High School.

Class 3A: Mason County High School.

Brossart soccer coach gets 200th win

By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com

ALEXANDRIA – Bishop Brossart boys’ soccer coach Brian Goller notched his 200th career victory in the Mustangs’ Sept. 8 victory over Newport Central Catholic.

Goller is in his 18th season leading the Mustangs’ program. It took him 11 years to notch his first 100 career wins, but just seven to get the next hundred.

“It just means you’ve been coaching a long time,” said Goller of the milestone.

“It is rewarding.”

Goller defers much of the credit to the boys he has coached at Brossart over the past 18 seasons. As the players have continued to improve under Goller’s tutelage, the program’s goals have changed.

“In the beginning, it was just trying to get our first winning season,” Goller said. “The talent level and work ethic of the players each year has raised the bar.”

This year’s team is no different. Goller’s 200th career win came in the title game of the Cardinal Cup tournament at Scott County

High School in Georgetown.

The Mustangs defeated Newport Central Catholic 10 on Sept. 8 to win the Cardinal Cup. With the victory, Brossart avenged its Aug. 27 loss to NewCath.

The Mustangs are now 6-4-1 on the season entering a Sept. 21 contest at Holy Cross, Goller’s alma mater. This year, Goller has relied on the program’s history and tradition to affect a

young lineup. The team graduated seven starters from last season’s team and has lost seven different varsity players to injury throughout the season.

Young players have been forced into bigger roles and have delivered so far.

“A lot of these guys have answered the call,” Goller said. “Guys have lived up to the challenge.”

Goller hopes to get good

news this week. The team’s top player, junior Jordan Frommeyer, has been out since injuring his wrist in the season opener. The midfielder finds out this week if he can return to play. If Frommeyer returns, expect the Mustangs to go on a late-season tear. If he is not cleared to play this season, the Mustangs will continue to rely on the underclassmen who have been filling

all season, and hope that their play continues to improve.

“We just need to be more consistent,” said Goller.

The Mustangs finish the month of September with matches against Holy Cross, Boone County, and rival Campbell County. The team hopes to get some players back from injury in time to get some regular season run before postseason play starts next month.

“Getting healthy will help our depth,” said Goller.

“Guys have a done a good job filling in and getting game experience.”

Two hundred is a nice, even number, which is why it is celebrated as a coaching milestone. For Goller, win No. 201 will be just as rewarding. The players know about the teams that came before them and the standard they must live up to.

“We want to build on the recent history of our soccer program,” said Goller. “Our guys have done a good job of upholding our tradition.”

The Mustangs play at Holy Cross on Wednesday, Sept. 21, and host Boone County the following day.

Each match starts at 5 p.m.

BUSINESS CLOSING

The Northern Kentucky University soccer team comes together for a team shot with the trophy after their Division II national championship win in 2010. and work together to form the team’s identity.

“We know what kind of captains we want to be and what we want to focus on,” Donnelly said. “We really wanted to focus on making more of a team effort this season, and I think it’s working so far. Lots of guys are getting shots and scoring goals.”

Through four matches, 12 players have scored goals. No player has scored more than three. So far, the captains have accomplished their goal of getting everyone involved. Their efforts start in practice and translate to the playing field on game day.

“Our older guys set the tempo in practice of how we want to train,” Basalyga said.

The seniors have also helped the Norse overcome the graduation of two very important members of last year’s squad, goalkeeper Michael Lavric and twotime national player of the year Steven Beattie.

The Norse are breaking

in two young goalkeepers – sophomore Ben Dorn and freshman Sanjit Kang have split time in front of the net so far. It helps that the three senior captains are defensemen. “(The goalies) aren’t forced to be the quarterback back there because they have the three of us,” Donnelly said. “We try to take the pressure off of them.”

As has become tradition under Basalyga, the Norse were tested throughout the offseason and scrimmaged against some top Division I programs. The offseason schedule is designed to prepare the Norse for a tough regular season schedule.

“Our offseasons have been the key to our success,” said Basalyga, who is 120-39-19 at NKU entering the Sept. 16 match. “Playing those Division I teams in the spring prepares us for fall.”

The offseason schedule only intensified after the championship 2010 season.

Basalyga is not content with one championship, and nei-

ther are his players. The team’s fast start this season is a credit to its training and preparation in the offseason.

“Every year we have more success, and every year Coach Bas pushes us harder,” Donnelly said. “We felt ready to go earlier this year out of the gate.”

Despite winning the 2010 Division II National Championship, Northern Kentucky University’s men’s soccer team entered the 2011 season hungry for success.

The seniors are not content with one title, while the freshmen are eager to claim a championship of their own. The Norse refuse to rest on their 2010 championship and have fully turned the page to the 2011 season.

After another offseason of hard work, the Norse started their title defense strong, going undefeated in their first four matches, including a 2-1 victory over then-No. 20 Ashland University.

NKU started the season ranked first in the NCAA Division II national poll, after finishing No. 1 last season. The Norse have won 14 consecutive matches dating back to Oct. 24, 2010. The team knows that it plays each match this year with a big target on its back.

“We know we’re going to be the biggest game on every team’s schedule,” head coach John Basalyga said. “We’re trying to keep our kids focused day in and day out.”

Three senior captains lead the way for the Norse and are determined to keep their teammates focused on the season at hand. Kevin Donnelly (Princeton), Anthony Meyer (Elder) and Tom Barrick, provide leadership on and off the field.

The three also live together

The new guys still have their work cut out for them.

In addition to living in a new setting, balancing their classwork, and adjusting to playing with new teammates, they also know that there is a very high standard of success to uphold.

The Norse have won four of the last five NCAA Regional Championships, including a final four run in 2008 and last year’s title.

What specific actions can government take to spur job creation?

“The most immediate way to help create jobs and stimulate the economy is to pass the President’s bill, the American Jobs Act. While the bill isn’t intended as a longterm solution to the unemployment problem, its passage would provide a terrific kickstart toward getting people back to work and increasing household incomes. A long-term solution should include a comprehensive infrastructure plan to get America’s crumbling bridges, roads, sewer systems, power grids, etc. up to speed.”

L.N. “President Obama’s American Jobs Bill is more than adequate to provide jobs for not only blue collar workers but office support staff as well. It needs to be passed with minimum controversy and as soon as possible. Republicans offer nothing but continued, dreary, repetitive rhetoric to combat whatever President Obama offers.

Enough. I’ve had enough Republican Obstructionism.”

D.H.

“The Obama organization should establish a federal agency to plan, organize, develop, prioritize, maintain, and administer infrastructure progress including transportation, communications, and energy applications.

“Funding sources for this agency would be derived from both individual income taxes and the industries benefiting from the service.

“Employment would be comprised of newly created jobs within the both the public and private sectors. Projects would be accomplished by both public employees and private sector contractors.

Services and supplies would be provided by the private sector.

“The Obama organization should further establish a policy of long term industrialization. The newly created agency for infrastructure progress would be responsible for implementating and coordinating this policy. Federal regulations would be evaluated in the context of both social and economic objectives. Private sector initiatives would be eligible for public funding and support based on feasibility and social and economic objectives.”

M.D. “I would recommend that the $450 billion slated for the stimulus package be given out directly to taxpayers in the form of vouchers with a value of, say, $1,500 or more.

“Based on our 313 million population there should probably be about 200 million taxpayers.

So this would work out to around $2,250 each!

“The vouchers should expire in 90 days and require that it only be used for the purchase of merchandise. Gosh, I already have a use for it!”

D.B. “Create some sense of stability.

If the president thinks that he can beat the wealthy by taxing the source of jobs, he’s sadly mistaken. Who does the hiring? The wealthy. All they have to do is wait it out.

“The other problem is the misuse of the benefits for those who are out of work. I personally

Send your answer to “mshaw@nky.com” with Chatroom in the subject line. know three such people who apply for jobs and never show up if they’re hired. It’s good to have a safety net, but the loopholes make it a money pit.

“Quit rewarding those who send jobs overseas. We need jobs here.

“Fraud needs to be stemmed.

While there are always those who beat the system, the overcharges to the government are astronomical. And if you try to report it good luck in finding the correct person to report it to. Government is so big and unaccountable it’s almost impossible.

“Quit making laws to cover every little thing that might happen in one’s life. Let things play out as the should without interference. Those people in Washington need a reason to be there, and we suffer.

“Quit loaning money to those who can’t pay. How many bailouts do we need before someone gets the point? Buying a house is much more than a mortgage payment. Maintanance, repairs, taxes, etc. are all involved. There are those who shouldn’t own a house, but no one seems to get the message.

“Quit mandating things for the local governments to do. Whe the money dries up, we’re all responsible for it.

“And last but not least, forget the streetcar.”

J.K. “America’s economic problems began about three years ago and the current status, 9.1 percent unemployment, a stumbling stock market, etc., indicate no one in Washington has the answer or is willing to do what must be done.

“Solving our economic problem is the simple answer to creating jobs. But achieving that takes political courage that is not evident in any of our leaders.

“What must be done? Just look at Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and other European economies that are on the brink of disaster because they refused to get government spending and borrowing under control.”

R.V. “In a word, ‘infrastructure.’

Adding a few more words, I personally thought the bailout was necessary but the stimulus package should have dealt more with actual job creation.

F.N. “I would like to see Congress take a very serious look at the plan the President presented last week, not from a political standpoint, but from really trying to create jobs for the American public that so desparatately needs jobs.

“It seems to me that we cannot continue in the path we were going now ... there must be a change so people can get back to work supporting themselves and their families. Let’s support the President’s plan!”

Campbell County Recorder

RECORDER

Now is the time for the South Branch library to be built The Library has held two public meetings on the construction plans for the South Branch and four more are planned. Honestly, the Board and I are very excited about the possibilities. We know there is great enthusiasm for the services a local library can provide in southern Campbell County.

Libraries are not being replaced by the Internet. Our branches had 560,000 visitors who checked out over 1 million physical items last year. Do libraries still have a place in our communities? Absolutely.

A lady from the daycare down the street brings a string of children, each little hand holding onto a knot on a rope, to the Cold Spring Branch about once per week. She understands the library’s value.

Now is the smart time to build a library. The poor economy is an opportunity. Interest rates are low and the Library’s credit status ensures excellent rates on debt.

The construction of the branch itself puts people to work and provides an asset for southern Campbell for a long time to come. Waiting for interest rates to go up and for construction costs to rise is not sound thinking.

Buildings are not, however, cheap. Just like anyone buying a home or a car, we will have to borrow the funds to build.

After the conJC Morgan struction is complete, we would Community staff and equip Recorder the building to the guest provide same level of columnist services that people enjoy in the rest of the county: programs, computer access, and the same operating hours. We estimate an annual cost of $1 million dollars for repaying debt and covering operating expenses. To generate those funds, we would need to increase the Library’s property tax rate. Currently, that’s $74 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home. The tax would increase to $94 per year, a difference of $20 per year.

We recognize people are hurting financially, but a public library is one of the best resources in

troubled times. Library visits and circulation are up all across America exactly because times are hard. Patrons of all ages leave our buildings with armfuls of books, DVDs, music CDs, and other materials every day. A single trip to the library can honestly repay most, if not all, of your entire annual library tax.

Twenty dollars can buy a lot of things. It can also build a library.

A library that can serve its community for a long time. A library for families to use to grow up and together. A library where, every day, you can see your tax dollars working for you.

I hope that you’ll come to one of the meetings about the South Branch. I hope that you’ll express your excitement and enthusiasm for what a library can bring to this community. People in southern Campbell are already paying for library service. It’s time that they had the opportunity to enjoy it too. Meeting times, dates and locations are on the Library’s website: www.cc-pl.org. We hope to see you there.

JC Morgan is the director of the Campbell County Public Library.

Sen. Stine reviews summer legislative activities

As the days grow shorter and cooler, it is a good time to review summer activities. In general, the most visible work of the state legislature is during our winter session but committees continue to meet to gain information and review potential legislation during the summer. Besides being a member of Senate Leadership as Senate President Pro-tem, I am also vice-chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and serve on the Program Review and Investigations Committee, the Health and Welfare Committee, the Natural Resources and Energy Committee, the Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protection Committee. I also co-chair the Child Obesity Task Force, the Medicaid Managed Care Oversight Committee and the Subcommittee of Families and Children.

On the Judiciary Committee, we’ve been focused on looking at the laws regarding juveniles. We are having discussions about the efficacy of treating youthful offenders outside of actual incarceration. Our paramount concern is obviously public safety but it is worthwhile to study whether our troubled youth can be rehabilitated in other more effective ways.

We are still trying to get answers from the Beshear Administration regarding the Medicaid managed care contracts they signed. Many providers have stated that they cannot have it implemented by the Oct. 1 deadline.

This calls into question the actual amount of savings that the Governor promised. The Program Review and Investigations Committee has held several meetings on the topic but despite numerous bipartisan requests, we seem unable to obtain clear answers from the Cabinet of Health and Family Services.

In July, the Health and Welfare

Committee met in Louisville and heard from private non-profits and the challenges they face providing services in this tight financial enviSen. Katie ronment. The Stine latest meeting focused on the Community impact of the Recorder potential hospiguest tal merger there.

The Interim columnist Joint Committee on Natural Resources and Environment has heard testimony on proposed federal regulatory changes that will increase electric utility rates by about 20 percent. These changes in how long-standing environmental laws as interpreted by the current federal administration are expected to result in Kentucky job losses due to those increased electric utility costs. Representatives of the Public Service Commission have also testified on the future impact of increased federal regulation of electric utilities.

The Interim Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protection has heard testimony on the status of veterans’ nursing homes and cemeteries across the state. Specifically, research on the rates of hospital borne infections and what the Department of Veterans Affairs is doing to control this problem. The Committee also heard reports from Kentucky’s public universities concerning what steps they take to recruit and assist veterans to take advantage of higher education programs. This is especially important in regard to soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. The committee has also spent part of the interim

planning events to honor veterans and learning about services available for blind Kentucky residents.

The Child Obesity Task Force has met twice so far. The Task Force first met in Northern Kentucky to discuss the impact of childhood obesity on military readiness. A second meeting took place in Frankfort, where leaders considered the relationship between nutrition and academic success. The Task Force will continue meeting throughout the interim to confront the obesity epidemic affecting children across the Commonwealth.

Regarding taxes; while it was reported that the state’s tax revenues have increased, Kentucky still struggles with an unemployment rate higher than our surrounding states. Members of the Administration testified about the new Medicaid managed care contracts they have signed. It is still unclear to many of us how they intend to implement the new practices or even how much they will save.

Finally, as we reflect on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we mourn the loss of innocent life at the hands of cowardly terrorists.

We also celebrate our great nation’s resilience because of the spirit and courage of our people.

We will take this time to thank the heroes of 9/11 and their families for their sacrifice in the name of freedom. These heroes are our brave first responders as well as the men and women of our military. God Bless America!

As always, if you have any comments or questions, please let me know by leaving a message toll-free at 1-800-372-7181 or TTY 1-800-896-0305. You can also keep up with legislative meetings via www.lrc.state.ky.us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Trash for Cash

The Silver Grove girls’ volleyball team did a trash cleanup project on Saturday Sept. 3. We walked a total of 10 miles from Tarvin Road to Camel Crossing

Loop. Overall with 19 participants we collected 32 bags of trash.

We were surprised at the amount of garage just laying on the side of the road. Personally, I think that littering is wrong and for our volleyball team this was a

mind opening experience. When you litter, it makes your community look bad and damages the environment. I know we will all think twice and not litter!

Health department offers diabetes education classes

By Stephanie Salmons ssalmons@nky.com

Joan Geohegan understands what it’s like living with diabetes.

A registered nurse and certified diabetes educator with the Northern Kentucky Health Department, Geohegan has had Type 1 diabetes for most of her life.

According to information on the health department’s website, nearly one out of eight adults in Kentucky have diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes. Some 13 percent of the state’s high school students have been told they are at a risk of getting diabetes due to their nutrition and activity habits.

Type 2 diabetes is preventable in 75 percent of cases with lifestyle change, Geohegan said.

According to Geohegan, a fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 warrants a diagnosis of pre-diabetes.

When she was younger, Geohegan said she “totally ignored” her diabetes and has the complications to show for it.

When she took the job, Geohegan’s A1C was a 12, though the target for someone with diabetes is seven or lower, Geohegan said.

Her vision was at 20/200 and her kidneys were failing.

Her vision is now at around 20/40 and while her kidneys are still failing, they “have been consistent for years,” she said.

STEPHANIE SALMONS/STAFF

Joan Geohegan is a certified diabetes educator for the Northern Kentucky Health Department. She’s holding a ball which is used to illustrate the effect excess weight can play in diabetes. According to Geohegan, insulin takes glucose out of the blood stream and puts it into a cell, represented by the ball where energy is made. Fat is also stored in the cell. As fat is stored inside the cell, it grows (like the ball expands) until identifiers (the joints on the ball) can no longer be found by insulin. Losing 510 percent of one’s body weight can help those markers be found again by the body’s insulin.

According to the American Diabetes Association, the A1C test measures your average blood glucose control for the past two to

three months.

“Before I took the position, I didn’t have the education I now teach,” she said. “Taking the edu-

cation and making small changes allowed me to lower my A1C. Even if someone has complications, we can stop them or significantly slow them from progressing.”

By every full percentage point A1C is lowered, the risk of eye, kidney and nerve complications are lowered by 35 percent, Geohegan said.

“We don’t aim for perfection,” Geohegan said. “None of us are perfect. If we can make small little changes to improve, those changes add up as time goes on.

The education and knowledge you can gain through the education, it’s power.”

Diabetes is controllable, but it sometimes takes someone making a conscious decision to do something about it, she said.

The health department offers diabetes control programs, community classes and support groups.

Two, four-hour diabetes selfmanagement classes are held each month in the health centers of Boone, Kenton, Campbell and Grant counties. The cost is $15 per class. Health center locations are: • Boone County Health Center – 7505 Burlington Pike, Florence.

• Kenton County Health Center – 2002 Madison Ave., Covington.

Alexandria has its own ‘Ya-Ya Sisterhood’

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA - For five women from Alexandria, saying YaYa means friendship. The YaYas are Jackie Rowe, Pam Proctor, Judy Moss, Charlotte Field and Cathy Combs.

The group of friends met when their sons were in elementary school and playing sports, said Mark Combs, Cathy’s husband.

“The boys are all grown, but the YaYas are still close and dear friends,” he said. “They have monthly gettogethers to share stories, a little wine and good times.”

The group was christened as the YaYas by Judy Moss’ daughter, Kelsey, and the name “just stuck,” said Proctor.

Kelsey was inspired to name the group the YaYas about nine years ago

because of the book and movie “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,” Proctor said.

The YaYas met when their firstborn sons were in elementary school together, she said.

“Today those sons are 26-yearsold,” Proctor said. “However, we kept in touch through the years and cherish our friendship. We even had a humorous knighthood ceremony for those firstborn sons, into the YaYa Auxiliary.”

While it was their children who first brought them together, it’s their faith in God and support in both good times and bad that keeps them together, she said.

Proctor said “As one member noted: ‘We are all different but in some ways, very much the same. Not only are we YaYas, but we’re also sisters in the Lord. We laugh together, cry together and pray together.’”

• Grant County Health Center – 234 Barnes Road, Williamstown.

According to Geohegan, Boone County classes are typically held the first two Mondays of the month, while Grant County classes are typically the first two Tuesdays, Kenton County the first two Wednesdays and Campbell County the first two Thursdays.

The approach taken in this program “give people some tools to empower themselves,” health department public information administrator Emily Gresham Wherle said. “A lot of what we try to do is empower people to take care of themselves.”

To register for a class, to confirm class dates or for more information about the self-management class, call 859-363-2115.

The health department also holds community classes, which are free and open to the public at various times and locations.

Support groups meet usually from 10 a.m. to noon on the third Friday of each month at the Boone County Health Center, 7505 Burlington Pike, Florence, 859363-2060, and from 10 a.m. to noon on the second Thursday of each month at the Campbell Senior Center, 3504 Alexandria Pike, Highland Heights, 859-5724300. For more information about diabetes education call 859-3632115 or 859-363-2116.

Personally, Proctor said she admires each one of her friends for having been supportive of her during good and bad times.

Judy Moss said when their children were growing up motherhood was a top priority in their lives.

“At one time all of us gave up our full-time jobs to be full-time mothers,” Moss said. “As our children grew we were able to return to our jobs which we all have now.”

Although each YaYa event includes catching up on the family members, they make sure to devote energy to enjoying each other’s company and having a blast, she said.

“We have all learned a way to provide balance for our lives: Family, faith, friends and of course YaYa sisterhood,” Moss said.

Applesauce cake a good way to bake into the season Along with the pears, Mother Nature’s friends nabbed the apples on our trees, so I was looking forward to purchasing some apples f r o m Rouster’s Rita A p p l e Heikenfeld House in Milford.

Rita’s kitchen T h e Krispy and Krispy Mac apples are unbelievably delicious and were developed by the Rouster family.

But I just got word that the apples grown this year will be made into cider and there will be no fresh ones to pick.

In fact, owner Dan Rouster said they are closing the apple part of the orchard.

It’s the weather that made them decide to close.

The good news is that the business’ U-pick blueberry and blackberry operations will continue.

But no more apples.

I hope Dan and Donna Rouster know how much everyone appreciates Rouster’s not only for their fine produce, but also for their ongoing community involvement.

Going there is always a family adventure, with the little ones helping pick right along with the adults.

As I have always told you, support your local independent farmers like the Rouster’s. They’re jew-

els that we need to keep shining.

In honor of the Rouster’s, today’s column is all about apples!

6 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut up

Easy applesauce cake

From Caroline Quinter of Amelia United Methodist church.

She’s the minister’s wife and shared this recipe with my editor, Lisa’s, mom, Nancy, and it wound up, through the Clermont County grapevine, to me.

Caroline said this moist cake goes great with a cup of tea or coffee.

“My husband and our four children really enjoy it and I hope your readers will give it a try. I wish I could claim it as an original but it came from a 1950s cookbook.”

Caroline said the recipe calls for a mixture of 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon to “dust” the pan and then cut through the batter. She uses about 2⁄3 of that mixture.

When I made the cake, I used it all and agree with Caroline – 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 would be plenty. I didn’t have yellow cake mix but used a butter recipe golden cake mix and added the 3.4 oz. box of instant pudding.

This is a wonderful cake to tote to a potluck.

1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon 1 box yellow cake mix with pudding (or add 1 small pkg. of instant vanilla pudding) 1 ⁄4 cup oil 3 eggs

RITA HEIKENFELD/CONTRIBUTOR

Moist applesauce cake goes great with tea or coffee.

2 cups applesauce Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease 9by-13 pan. Mix sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle half of sugar mixture inside pan. (I also sprinkled it on the sides.

Mix cake mix, oil, eggs and applesauce. Pour batter in, sprinkle remaining sugar mixture on top of batter and swirl through cake with a knife. Bake 50 to 60 minutes.

Paper bag apple pie with streusel topping

This old favorite is now making the rounds once again. And yes, it does work.

Use a bag without any printing on it. Use your favorite crust recipe.

The trick of cooking the apples a bit beforehand is one I learned in cooking school. We would cook them on top of the stove.

This recipe calls for the microwave.

Either works well, but

it’s not absolutely necessary. It just helps soften the apples. Granny Smith, Jonathan, or just about any apple other than Red Delicious will work.

Here’s the filling:

7-8 cups apples, peeled and sliced 1 cup light or dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon Couple dashes salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 ⁄4 cup lemon juice 4 tablespoons flour Put the sliced apples in a big microwave-safe bowl, and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and lemon juice.

Microwave, uncovered, for five minutes. Sprinkle flour over and mix.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour filling into crust.

Combine everything together until crumbly but don’t over mix.

You want a real crumbly topping. Put streusel on top of filling.

Place pie in brown paper grocery bag or make a parchment paper bag by stapling two pieces together.

Close the bag. I stapled it but uncoated paper clips work OK, too.

Bake 60 minutes.

Remove carefully from bag.

Makes eight servings.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen:

Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, substitute 2 teaspoons apple pie spice.

An apple a day really does keep the doctor away!

Apples help lower the risk of heart disease, prevent constipation, help control diabetes and help prevent cancer.

Limited hours at Rouster’s

Rouster’s Apple House will open for a limited number of days this fall. It will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, and Saturday, Sept. 24, with 5 percent to 30 percent reductions in price on items in the store, such as jams and jellies. Frozen cider, frozen cherries and frozen blueberries also will be available, but no apples. The store may be open for several weekends after that.

“We will keep it open until we run out of product,” Dan Rouster said.

He said customers should call 625-5504 for dates the store is open. The apple house is at 1986 Ohio 131.

Quick tips to keep your pets safe, sound and returned One afternoon last winter, I gratefully pulled into my driveway during a particularly bad snowstorm.

The wind was blowing snow so thick that you could barely see a few feet in front of your face.

That’s when I noticed a woman run up to the car. It was the grown daughter of the woman who lived next door. She was hysterical, sobbing.

“My mother’s dog is missing and we can’t find her,” she cried, “Can we check in your backyard?”

“Of course,” I said, pulling into the garage and jumping into my snow boots. Joining in the search, I found out that one of the family members had left their garage door open for a few seconds and the 16year-old Malti-Poo had apparently slipped out into the yard. It was a heavily wooded lot attached to our own and we all feared the worst.

Within the hour, we had

our answer.

T h e woman’s son found the dog in the woods, under some The Marsie Hall brush. elderly dog Newbold had lost its and Marsie’s way had sucMenagerie cumbed to the elements. It was a very sad day in our neighborhood.

Jim Berns of Pet Search and Rescue nodded sympathetically when I told him our story. Berns is Cincinnati’s very own “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” who for the past 3 1⁄2 years, along with his trusty Search and Rescue dogs, has been helping people to find their lost pets.

“The very best way to ensure your pet’s safety is to take preventative measures,” says the soft-spoken University of Cincinnati DAAP woodshop teacher,

who searches for lost pets on weekends.

“It is much easier to prevent your pet going missing in the first place than to find them later.”

He suggests that all pets wear a well-fitted collar at all times with complete contact information. This is the very most important thing that an owner can do to ensure their pet’s safety.

This information should include the name and phone number.

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking that a rabies tag or pet license will be enough,” he counsels.

“Make it easy for the person who finds your pet to contact you directly and immediately.”

Micro chips are also very helpful.

Friendly pets are the most likely to be reunited with their owners after they go missing.

“A dog can be its own best ally,” Berns chuckles, “If you have a friendly pet,

“That happened to one of my dogs once, a bloodhound, and that was how we found her. She went up to people who saw the tag around her neck and called us.”

He also suggests that pet owners be hyper-vigilant about keeping gates closed and continually inspect the perimeters of a fenced in yard.

“There is almost always a gap in fencing,” Berns says, “I guarantee that I could go out into almost any yard and find a spot where the pet could slip out. You might think that

they can’t, but it can happen very quickly.”

But the No. 1 thing that the Pet Detective wants people to know is if they are going to be going away, to leave their pets in the care of a professional pet sitter or in a kennel.

“One of the common things we see,” he says, “Is things going wrong when people are watching pets for a friend or family member.”

“It is much better to board your pets. Nobody can do as good of a job of watching your pet as you can yourself. That way you don’t have to worry about creating some extremely bad family strife.”

“I know that it seems so harmless,” the father of nine counsels, “But, if something bad happens and the pet goes missing, regardless of good intentions, it is hard not to blame the person who was left in charge.

“It is just not worth the risk. Those relationships can never be replaced.”

Berns, a College Hill resident, works with Samantha, a smart hound mix, Luchious, a bloodhound and Hercules, a mastiff/hound mix.

Primarily covering areas in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, the team is willing to travel further to help find lost pets.

They have had over 150 cases so far and he estimates that they find the pet while they are there, 20 to 30 percent of the time.

Another 30 to 40 percent show up in the next two to three days. Pets they have been searching for have turned up safe up to five weeks later.

We see infants, toddlers, and young children with their moms and dads, mothers, older daughters, children with disabilities, senior citizens – just so many people of all ages enjoying life with their families, friends, and alpacas.

Countless smiles, alpaca kisses, families enjoying the farm, and heartwarming pictures that capture these spectacular moments in life

happen right here at Eagle Bend on Farm Days,” Salsbury said.

Admission is free. Eagle Bend’s Fiber & Gift Shoppe will be open so people can see what’s done with alpaca fleece. People are urged to bring cameras and old shoes and come prepared to see a working farm raising alpacas.

Visit the website at www. eaglebendalpacas.com for directions to the farm or call 859-750-3560 if you have questions.

Glass will be in town for a Cincinnati Symphony performance of his Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra on Friday, Sept. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 1, at Music Hall.

Glass will be joined by CSO percussionist and NKU faculty member Richard

Jensen, one of the timpanists on the concert.

Jensen will perform excerpts from the piece and will speak about Glass’ work from a performer’s perspective.

A question-andanswer session with the composer and performer will follow.

Glass has written hundreds of compositions including symphonies, operas, chamber music and film scores. He was awarded a Grammy, nominated

for three Oscars and won a Golden Globe Award for his score for the movie” The Truman Show.”

On Sept. 24-25, alpaca breeders from across the U.S. and Canada will invite the public to come to their farm to meet their alpacas and learn more about these inquisitive animals, the luxury fiber they produce, and why the alpaca business is perfect for environmentally conscious individuals.

Eagle Bend Alpacas, located at 7812 East Bend Road, Burlington, will open its gates from 1 to 5 p.m. both days to allow people to experience the world of alpacas.

“With the tragedy of 9/11 and the sadness it represents so prevalent in our minds at this time of year, it’s nice to share something wholesome and uplifting that makes you smile.
