Community wants out of county schools

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

FORT THOMAS — Residents of the Villa Grande community in Fort Thomas want out of the Campbell County Schools district.

The Fort Thomas residents are petitioning to leave Campbell County Schools and join Fort Thomas Independent Schools.

A trio of about 15 residents presented the petition and pleaded their case to the Campbell County Schools Board of Education at the Oct. 1 meeting.

The school board, according to Kentucky law, has 90 days to decide on the petition to change the district boundary lines. Board chairperson Janis Winbigler said the board will take the request under advisement.

Villa Grande was created in 2006 in Fort Thomas and consists of three streets and has 52 homes, according to city records. Campbell County has two students enrolled from Villa Grande.

“We brought this petition to you with over 76 percent support of our community members,” said Bimal Patel, a Villa Grande resident.

A total of 66 of the 86 property owners signed and supported the petition, Patel said.

“We understand that there’s serious financial considerations that you guys will be weighing into this decision,” Patel said to the board.

Sometimes finances really drive a decision, he said.

“We wanted to be here and really convey to you that this a lot more than about finances,” Patel said. “This has to do with our children. This has to do with our livelihood and how our children can grow up and be a part of the community that we live in.”

From Villagrande Boulevard it is 8.4 miles to Crossroads Elementary School in Cold Spring (the elementary

WHY IS THERE AN ‘ISLAND’ IN FORT THOMAS? Campbell County Schools’ district boundary lines includes a circular island of property not connected to the rest of the district in Fort Thomas. A total of 66 students enrolled in Campbell County Schools live in Fort Thomas, said Kerry Hill, director of pupil personnel for the district.

The island of property is one of several northern areas unconnected to the district’s other boundary lines. Another swath of property in Campbell County Schools is east of Dayton.

History and money is the answer for why the boundary lines exist in that form, said Campbell County Property Valuation Administrator Daniel Braun.

As a district, Campbell County Schools predates the other city schools in the county, Braun said. Agreements were made to leave pockets of the county school district in or near city school districts in the county school district since most of the population and property taxes assessment money was in the north end of the county, Braun said.

“Part of the issue was there wasn’t going to be enough money for the county school board,” he said.

Dog lovers now have a new recreational option in Newport with the opening of a new dog park along Providence Way. Residents and city officials came together Sunday, Oct. 7, for the grand opening of the park, the culmination of about a year of work by the dog park committee, a group of residents who spearheaded the effort.

Committee member Sarah Dixon Mitchell said efforts to create the dog park began late last year, after residents came together and decided the open space in that area would make a good dog park.

“This area has been used as an informal dog park for years, but we thought it would be nice to make it a confined space,” Mitchell said.

In the past year, the committee raised more than $15,000 to create the park, complete with fencing that meets the historic guidelines of the area.

Mitchell said the park was made possible by the generosity of residents, businesses and officials in the city.

City manager Tom Fromme said with the economy the way it is, these are the kind of partnerships between the city and residents that make amenities like the dog park possible.

“I think the committee did a

great job,” Fromme said. “They raised a lot of money and worked with the city every step of the way.”

Mayor Jerry Peluso said it’s amenities like the dog park that attract people to Newport, and he is happy the city has this new addition.

Resident Joyce Chastang said in the past, she could never let her dog, Lily, off her leash while on walks, but the dog park has changed that.

“She just loves it,” Chastang said. “She can come to the park

Trio of candidates vie for Sheriff’s seat

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

NEWPORT — The midterm retirement of former Campbell County Sheriff John Dunn on Aug. 1 opened the door for voters to pick a new person to lead the office Nov. 6.

The winner of three candidates seeking to replace the remainder of Dunn’s four-year term will take office Nov. 7.

The term of office is through the end of 2014.

The sheriff’s office, located in Newport, has 29 employees and a 2012 budget

of $2.187 million.

Dave Otto of Fort Thomas is the Democratic candidate, Jeff Kidwell of Cold Spring is the Republican candidate and John G. Crum Jr., of Highland Heights filed as a Libertarian.

Otto, 62, a commissioner on Campbell County Fiscal Court for 26 years until 2010, owns Otto Printing in Dayton – printing concert security passes for shows .

“When you look at the sheriff’s office, 80 percent of the job is not law enforcement,” Otto said.

“You have the collection of taxes, which is the main

function, and it’s not a small function.”

Otto said he is familiar with the sheriff’s office budget at the line item level because he approved it annually as a member of fiscal court.

Otto said he is committed to making sure the taxing districts receive their tax money on time. Otto said he will cross-train sheriff office employees so they can perform all office functions. For deputies, cross-training will mean being able to run the metal detector or provide security on a high profile case, or transport prisoners across state lines, he said. Otto said he plans to

have the best law enforcement people under him possible.

“My strength is in business and in administration,” he said. “I’m not going to sit here and say I have any law enforcement because I don’t.”

Otto said he will go after state and federal grants for vehicles, computer systems, license plate recognition technology and training – something the previous sheriff didn’t seek. Otto said his final goal is devising a good public awareness campaign on the heroin epidemic by working with community and school leaders. Otto said public service is “in his blood,” and he sought election as sheriff after hearing from Republicans he knows.

“Quite frankly I heard that Jeff Kidwell was going to get the nomination, and I felt that I could do a better job,” Otto said.

“You know I’ve got more experience. I’ve got a bet-

ter business background.

I’ve got a better administrative background.”

Kidwell, 48, said his law enforcement experience is relevant, since serving paperwork for the courts is a primary function of the sheriff’s office.

Kidwell said he has been an officer for the courts for 17 years as an elected constable serving warrants, summons subpoenas and other court documents for people in the county. He has owned and operated Star Computers in Newport for the last 20 years. Kidwell said he previously served as a manager of information systems for Tim Hogan’s Carpet Outlet and dealt with large budgets, supervising personnel and worked with accounting to manage more than 30 stores.

“I chose to pursue this office to improve services to the citizens of Campbell County,” he said. “I

Kidwell said he wants to bring the sheriff’s office “into the 21st Century” through the use of modern technology and “careful and skilled” management of the department.

“I believe I can not only improve the quality and efficiency, but hold down costs at the same time,” he said. “Our citizens have enough of a tax burden, and I want to relieve that burden and improve services in any way I can. If you look at our backgrounds I am truly the only qualified candidate.”

for about 50 minutes one way from Fort Thomas to Crossroads Elementary in Cold Spring. Many of the parents of children in Villa Grande choose to pay to send their children to private school partially because they are closer, she said.

Zieleniewski said her daughter would have to be ready at the bus stop to go to Campbell County Schools in the morning at 6:05 a.m. Zieleniewski, an associate professor at the University of Cincinnati with an undergraduate and masters in education, presented study findings to the board about negative impacts of long bus rides to the board.

Long bus rides mean children are getting home later and are hungry when the get home, and exacerbate problems a child may already have including anxiety, depression or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, she said.

Zieleniewski said it has become sad to see that anyone at the grade school or college level are counted in terms of dollar signs.

“They’re our future, and we need to treat them as such and do the right thing for the children,” she said.

Residents of Villa Grande are scheduled to speak in the community forum section of the agenda during the Fort Thomas Board of Education meeting Monday, Oct. 10, said Superintendent Gene Kirchner.

There will be no action taken on Villa Grande by the board at the meeting, Kirchner said.

Fort Thomas will surely be notified when Campbell County makes a decision, he said.

Kirchner said there is a state law in place with a process for changing district boundary lines, and people across Northern Kentucky do have issues with where the boundaries are drawn sometimes.

“What is uncommon is for those boundaries to be changed as a result of that (process),” he said.

California ballot features incumbents

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

CALIFORNIA — Incumbents plan on returning to their commission seats in California to manage the business of the Campbell

County city of 90 people living along the banks of the Ohio River.

Voters will see an uncontested ballot on Election Day Nov. 6 with four incumbents seeking election to four seats.

Emma Jean Neises, 73, said she has been on commission for 49 years since she was 24.

“My goals are just to make it better and try to have the people keeping their yards and houses

looking nice,” Neises said.

Neises said she enjoys being on the commission despite setbacks the city had in the 1997 Ohio River flood.

Seven vie for six seats in Wilder

WILDER —

With current council members David Martin and Rosemary Wilson not running for re-election, incumbents Robert Blankenship, Monica Gearding, Michael Dinn and Brack Herald Jr. and challengers Bradley Jones, Robert Arnold and Robert Honaker are competing for the six council seats.

Arnold, who also has a law office located in Wilder, said between living and working in the city, he is tuned into what is going on and the city’s needs.

“I think there are some upgrades we could make to the city,” Arnold said. “We also need more transparency between the city government and the residents.”

“We’re a tightly knit band of folks that work really well together,” Dinn said.

Jones, who moved to Wilder when he got married a few years ago, said he decided to run for coun-

Blankenship, who is currently serving his sixth year on council, said he enjoys being part of the council and working with the residents.

“I want to continue to make sure the quality of life is good for our citizens,” Blakenship said.

“That’s what we’re here for, to take care of the people in our city.”

Dinn, who is serving his fourth term with the council, said he has been happy to serve the city through some tough decisions and wants to continue to maintain the positive decision

Union Street and is getting ready to use it with a dedication planned from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, she said.

“It’s big enough we’ll probably be able to rent it out for different functions,” Neises said.

Neises said she also thinks the city might be able to annex some nearby

cil to take on a more active role in the city.

“Wilder is a beautiful place to live in many ways,” Jones said. “I want to be part of the team that maintains and improves the city.”

Four for four spots in Melbourne

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

MELBOURNE — Streets are the top topic for candidates on the ballot on Election Day Nov. 6 for Melbourne city commissioner in an uncontested election.

There are four candidates filed to fill four seats on the city commission.

Melbourne, a city nestled along the Ohio River, has a population of 486, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.

Wilbur L. Crossley is seeking his first full twoyear term as a commissioner after being appointed to fill an unexpired term in the final months of 2011. Crossley, 66, is a retired U.S. Army veteran. Crossley said the city has been working on putting all new streets in, and he has no official goals, but he does want to see some cleanup around the city and clear items left in the open on properties.

“We’re all pack rats down here,” he said.

Crossley said there are small things that come up in the city, and he wants to help deal with them.

“We want to get this place down here thriving and more people moving in,” he said.

Edward C. Fischer, a member of city commission for 12 years, including a term as mayor from 2006 to 2010, is seeking a fifth term as a commissioner.

Fischer, 72, works full-

SWEET PEA TURNS 7

time as a supervisor of the bus system at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Fischer said the city has done a good job of replacing every street except one during his time on the commission.

“We don’t start a street unless we’ve got the money to pay for it,” he said.

Fischer said he wants to see the street program completed.

Fischer said he decided to step down from the mayor’s job to let someone else who was younger do the job, but people asked him to stay on as a commissioner.

The city has created a park for children behind the city building with swings and a basketball court in recent years, he said.

“The city has come a long way in the last few years,” Fischer said.

David C. King, a resident of the city for 31 years, is seeking a third term on commission.

“We’ve been doing our streets from blacktop to concrete, and we’ve got one left,” he said.

King said he also wants to see the city get blight under control.

“We’ve got a quiet little city, and I’d like to see it stay that way,” King said Incumbent Paul Landwehr, a member of commission since 2004, declined to comment.

"Combating the heroin problem starts with sending drug traffickers to prison," she said. "Police and prosecutors must work together to educate our community and bring an increased awareness that will stop this growing epidemic."

"All of us who live and work in Campbell County have a right to feel safe and secure," she said.

Students picture a no bullying world

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — Bullying happens.

So, the annual anti-bullying student poster contest at Campbell County Middle School reminds classmates hurting someone else with words or deeds is not cool and to report instances to an adult.

School Resource Officer Mark Branham announced the eight student winners of the annual poster contest Tuesday, Oct. 2.

Fort Thomas resident Bridget Rison and Alexandria resident Kylie Lynch teamed up to create the winning eighth-grade poster.

Rison said the face on the poster is sad, and sending a message to not make someone feel bad. Rison said a relative of hers was bullied, so making the poster was personal.

“We know people who have been bullied, so we don’t want other people to have to go through that too,” Lynch said.

People need to stop bullying others, she said.

Cold Spring resident Paxton Glenn, a seventh-grader, won the grand prize for her bus poster depicting scenes hidden behind windows covering subject including “cyber-bullying,” “threats" and “mean words.”

“I came up with the idea of using the school bus because most kids get bullied on the school bus because there’s usually no adults around to tell them not to bully other students,” Paxton said. “And I used the little windows and put pictures inside of them to show each type of bullying that can happen.”

Branham said the contest judge, husband of one of the school’s assistant principals, selected Paxton’s poster for the grand prize in part because it covered every aspect of bullying and more importantly had a section on how to “Stand Up For Others.”

Campbell County Schools does a good job of teaching students about how wrong bullying is in elementary school, and how

to report the behavior to an adult, he said.

“We just want to keep reiterating it so they know the process

when something arises,” Branham said.

Branham said he receives a report of bullying about three

times a week. The middle school has more than 1,100 students.

“About 80 percent of bullying pertains to the way someone looks and dresses,” he said.

“And that’s just the way it is.

Kids are cruel.”

Students do report on other students they see being bullied, he said.

“Typically, if they’re going to call another student out by name to a teacher or counselor it’s pretty serious,” Branham said.

The school also has a “Shout Out” box where students report bullying anonymously, he said.

Branham said he wants students to take speaking up against bullying to a new level.

“I would love to see the kids when they see somebody getting picked on, not just one, but a bunch of them just somebody take the first step and go out and say, ‘Hey it’s not cool leave him alone,’” he said. “And then everybody that is around him do the same thing and step in and say, ‘Yeah man it’s not cool.’”

Student interaction focus of open house

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — When Bishop Brossart High School has an open house the chance to meet current students is just as important as seeing inside a classroom.

Select seniors and freshmen at the Alexandria Catholic high school speak with students and their families during the annual open house to share their experiences.

This year’s open house for stu-

dents in grades 7-8 and their families will be from 1-3:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21. The event will feature additional presentation of the new addition the school is planning to break ground on in spring 2013. The addition is expected to cost between $7 million and $8 million, according to a news release from the school.

Other open presentations will cover the campus ministry, the educational mission, technology, student organizations, athletics and tuition assistance.

“We generally start with a program in which we’ll introduce important figures in the school,” said Principal Richard Stewart of the open house experience.

After an initial presentation by faculty, students take over, Steward said. Typically a senior and a freshman will give a presentation on their experiences.

“They’ll say this is what Brossart has meant to ‘me,’” Steward said.

Juniors and seniors then walk

the seventh- and eighth-graders through the building, and there will be displays in all the classrooms about what happens in each class, and the science lab will be running some experiments, he said.

The cafeteria will be set up with tables and people with information about various student boards and clubs, Stewart said.

The most important part of the experience is for prospective students and their families to spend lots of time with the cur-

rent Bishop Brossart students and see them at work, he said.

“When families come through and they meet our kids, they say ‘that’s what I want our child to be in four or five years,’” Stewart said.

People considering attending the open house are asked to preregister. For information or to register call the school at 859635-2108.

Grandview receives Toyota grant

Grandview Elementary is one of 10 schools statewide receiving funding from a $115,000 grant by Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., to launch an innovative program to help create quality learning opportunities for young children in Kentucky.

The grant, presented by the auto manufacturer to United Way of Kentucky, will go toward the establishment of Toyota bornlearning Academies at Grandview and nine other Kentucky elementary schools.

Free Life Insurance program offered Community Recorder Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation is joined by the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. (MassMutual) to announce a program offering free $50,000 term life insurance policies to benefit children of working families throughout Northern Kentucky and surrounding communities.

MassMutual pays all insurance premiums on the policies as part of the company’s philanthropic LifeBridge SM program. Eligible parents and legal guardians may apply for this coverage by downloading a form off the Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation’s website. To

see a list of participating school districts to return the form to, visit www.nkyyouth.org.

MassMutual has issued more than 12,500 10-year term life insurance policies since launching the program in 2002. This represents more than $625 million in coverage as of June.

MassMutual expects to issue a total of $1 billion in free term life insurance coverage through the national philanthropic free life insurance program, called LifeBridge. The policy proceeds help to pay for the education of eligible children if their insured parent or legal guardian dies during the 10-year policy term.

Parents and legal guardians between the ages of19 and 42 may apply for this insurance coverage. They must have one or more dependent children under the age of 18, be working full- or part-time with a total family income between $10,000 and $40,000, and be permanent, legal residents of the U.S. They also must be in good health, as determined by MassMutual’s underwriting guidelines.

If an insured parent or guardian dies during the policy’s term, MassMutual will deposit the $50,000 face amount into a trust administered by The MassMutual Trust Co., FSB, a wholly owned subsidiary of MassMutual, on behalf

of the children. The trust will pay the educational expenses of the children directly to the educational institution they attend. The money can be used to help pay for educational expenses such as books, tuition, fees and campus room and board. The types of schools covered include pre-school, private school, trade school, colleges, universities, art, music and graduate schools.

MassMutual agents donate their time and services to help people apply for LifeBridge insurance coverage; agents receive no commission and MassMutual pays all the life insurance premiums. There is no cost to the insured or their children.

Rivals to face off in district soccer final

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The new district for the Newport Central Catholic girls soccer team is a lot easier to advance from, but not easy to win.

In the new state alignment, soccer was reconfigured to match baseball and basketball, so NewCath remains with old buddies Highlands in the newly named 36th District.

County foes Campbell County and Bishop Brossart left the former 19th District, which was usually one of the deepest and most competitive in the state.

In the new alignment, Highlands and NewCath are alone in the 36th.

Neighborhood rivals Bellevue, Dayton and Newport have tried to get girls soccer programs going in recent years, but none of the three entered district play this year.

As a result, Highlands and NewCath will play in the district final Thursday, Oct. 11 at Tower Park in Fort Thomas. The same scenario exists in boys soccer, so there will be a doubleheader that night, with all four teams advancing to the Ninth Region tourney.

Turnick’s team carries an 11-5-1 record into the Highlands match.

NCC’s last regular season game was a1-0 loss to St. Henry Oct.1in a game called at halftime due to heavy rain.

Sam Bunzel leads NewCath with 11 goals, Christina Seibert has 10 and Loren Zimmerman nine. Track speedster Chandler Cain has six goals. Bunzel, Zimmerman, Seibert and Nikki Buller have either five or six assists for the year.

Erin Ackerson has five shutouts for the Thoroughbreds, who have allowed18 goals for the year, and more than one only three times.

jweber@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — Campbell County High School has never played in a regional girls soccer tournament.

The Camels are looking forward to that changing under the new Kentucky High School Athletic Association alignment.

Campbell now has the same district foes in the newly named 37th District that it does in other sports with the 37th. That meant keeping city rival Bishop Brossart but replacing county foes Highlands and Newport Central Catholic with Scott and Calvary Christian.

The Camels knocked off Scott in the district semifinals Oct. 8 by a 4-0 score, taking them to the district final for the first time as a program. Scoring were junior Lauren Macke (two), senior Shelby Davis and senior Taylor Robinson, with sophomore Bryanna Schroers getting the shutout and four saves.

The Camels enter the district final Thursday, Oct. 11, against Bishop Brossart with a record of 12-7-2, their second-highest regular-season win total in team history.

“I purposely scheduled the hardest schedule we ever had to prepare them better for the playoffs,” head coach Dave Morris said. “I was unsure what the win total would be, but I’m happy overall. It’s a good season for us. We’ve played a lot of tough teams.”

team’s final regular season game. Robinson and senior Erin Bishop recorded the goals, and senior Kylyn Schnelle the shutout.

“It was really exciting because it’s our senior year and to score on our senior night is a great accomplishment,” Robinson said. “Everybody has worked hard during the year, not just us.

That’s the big thing we’ve looked at this year; it’s not just scoring but passing the ball and working as a team to get to our goal, which is to get to state.”

Boone was Campbell’s Senior Night opponent, though the Camel seniors were honored three nights earlier when the game was originally set to kick off.

Heavy rain turned the Campbell field into a swamp and forced the Senior Night ceremony into the school library. The field was still slightly muddy for the actual game against the Rebels, when the seniors

picked up a win to remember.

“That’s what every senior wants to do, score a goal on senior night,” Bishop said. “When we talk to each other we play the best.

Then we can communicate and have passing plays and combinations that lead to goals.”

Other seniors are Michaela Hyden, Molly Kitchen, Miranda Kopp, Angela Lauer and Chelsea Weckbach.

Robinson leads the Camels with16 goals. Macke has 15 and junior Natalie Visse 10. Bishop notched her fifth. Schnelle was making her first start of the season in net. Schroers has12 shutouts this season.

“The strength all year has been depth,” Morris said. “We may not have the best 11 sometimes, but we have the best 20, and that helps a lot. This is the first year where all the field players play every game.

Nancy Barre and John Faehr.

Guest speaker will be Dick Maile, a standout prep star in Kentucky, not only visited Louisiana State University, but returned to play (1963-65) and provide thrill after thrill for Tiger fans. Maile was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals.

There’s not near the dropoff there has been in the past. That has helped us against the better teams.

Usually, we come back and play better later in the game.”

Campbell and Brossart met Sept. 17, with Brossart winning in penalty kicks.

The city rivals have the two best records in the new10th Region.

Their 37th final game is Thursday, Oct. 11, at Scott High School. The girls and boys finals will be in a doubleheader, with the girls leading off at 6 p.m.

EDITORIALS | LETTERS | COLUMNS | CH@TROOM

CommunityPress.com

Library board needs to focus on technological future On November 6, the voters of Campbell County will have the opportunity to vote for or against a controversial library tax issue. The Library Board wants to build a fourth library building in the south end of the county and says it needs to Kenneth increase the Moellman libraries’ real COMMUNITY estate properRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST ty tax by 27 percent. The ballot issue will read: “Are you for or against the Campbell County Public Library establishing an ad valorem tax rate of 0.94 cents per $100 of assessed value for real property in Campbell County, Kentucky for the purpose of constructing and operating a new library facility in southern Campbell County?”

Now in itself, 0.94 cents per hundred dollars valuation on your property may not appear to be significant, but it is. In fact, the 0.94 cents represents a 27 percent increase over what Campbell County property owners are currently paying. Based on current information provided by the PVA Real Estate System, this increase would amount to $1,049,156.00 in additional real estate property tax dollars being taken from the property owners of Campbell County. In addition to the current library real estate property tax rate, this tax hike will increase every year the Library Board decides

to raise the real estate property tax.

Many people are unaware that the library receives tax revenue from other sources in addition to real estate property taxes. According to the 2012 Northern Kentucky TRI-ED Tax Tool, the library receives tax dollars from Real Estate Taxes (0.74 cents per hundred), Tangible Taxes (1.089 dollars per hundred), Inventory Intransit Taxes (1.089 dollars per hundred) and Motor Vehicle Taxes (0.26 cents per hundred).

The citizens of Campbell County pay tax dollars to the library on their real estate, cars, trucks, motorcycles, motor homes, and boats.

The Library Board is comprised of non-elected individuals who answer to no one.

Taxpaying citizens are not permitted to ask questions at library board meetings and are only permitted to make statements. So Open Records Requests have become the tool used by citizens to get their questions answered.

At a recent library board meeting, a number of taxpayers were named and singled out as causing the library to spend thousands of dollars to comply with the open records requests. But since taxpayers cannot ask questions at library board meetings, the open records request has been the only way taxpayers can get their questions answered.

Over the past four years,

library employees have received pay increases amounting to a compounded 14.7 percent. Who in the last four years, other than tax-supported employees, have received pay increases anywhere near this amount if at all?

So while those in the private sector have been experiencing layoffs, pay cuts, job losses, home foreclosures and higher taxes, library employees have been enjoying pay increases.

According to the 2010 and 2011 Kentucky Annual Report of Public Libraries, patron visits to the Campbell County Public Library System were down 5 percent overall and down 6.59 percent at the Cold Spring location.

One reason for the decline in patron visits is probably due to more people using the Internet, which is surely going to increase.

In today’s world numerous corporations benefit by utilizing the Internet. They no longer buy land and build buildings to provide office space for their employees, and the library could do the same. Many corporations no longer spend money for heating, cooling, furniture, lighting, etc., and the library could do the same.

Many corporate employees experience numerous benefits utilizing the Internet as well.

They no longer have to commute to and from a building, and library patrons could do

the same. Many things that were once exclusive to the public libraries are now available via the Internet and should be utilized and expanded.

The library director has been quoted as stating: “...

Those living in the south end of the county deserve a library because they have been paying taxes that support the library branches in the north end of the county...”

If the citizens of Campbell County deserve anything from the library it would be a library board that is frugal and focused on the electronic future. We deserve a library board that doesn’t spend multiple millions of taxpayer’s hard earned dollars on a building that is obviously on the same path as the wagon wheel.

With technology and the Internet improving and expanding daily why place another financial burden on the taxpayers by continually raising taxes for facilities that aren’t needed?

The library board could and should embrace the electronic technology that is currently available. And instead of spending millions of dollars on land and buildings, the Library Board should expand the online capabilities of the Campbell County Public Library System.

Last week, the National Football League reached a tentative deal with referees to end the labor dispute and get them back on the field.

The labor dispute reached fever pitch on Tuesday when the Green Bay Packers had a game stolen from them on a missed call and then a terrible call by replacement referees. The errors grabbed national headlines, and frustrated fans and others began to take a real interest in the underlying dispute.

At the heart of the disagreement is a desire by the league to move away from the curJon Steiner rent defined COMMUNITY benefit proRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST gram and replace it with a 401 (k) style defined contribution plan. The referees wanted to keep the current plan. Does this sound familiar?

While the National Football League was able to work out an agreement with its referees to move to a defined contribution system in 2016, here in Kentucky a special task force on pension reform is wrapping up its work in Frankfort to make recommendations for the future of Kentucky’s public pension systems.

The task force has heard testimony from a number of groups, including representatives of local governments, groups representing taxpayers’ interests, representatives of business, as well as employee unions and retirees. For the first time in a long time, all the groups seemed to agree that there is a true crisis in Kentucky when it comes to funding of public pensions. However, this crisis has real consequences for Kentucky families and hasn’t grabbed the public’s attention in the way the recent game has.

In Kentucky, we have a lot more at stake than the outcome of a football game. Instead of missed calls and frustrated fans, it will mean major cuts to city services, directly affecting the quality of life of citizens.

In the end, we need a recommendation that can be embraced by labor and management, as well as the House and Senate that provides a real solution for Kentucky’s cities. Cities are urging the task force to develop a single comprehensive recommendation for the legislature to consider in the 2013 session that balances the need to have an affordable and predictable system with the needs of public employees.

The pension reform ball is in the hands of lawmakers, but we can’t wait until 2016 to make a play. Lawmakers should note the important lesson learned by the National Football League: even though the negotiation process was painful, the league found a financially sound retirement system for the future to be worth it.

Library offerings worth the tax I favor the proposed tax rate increase to support the Campbell County Public Library, and I’ll tell you Michele why.

Turner Public libraries proCOMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST vide engaging COLUMNIST programs and amazing collections that help children from all backgrounds become excited and enthusiastic readers.

Staff in public libraries assist students in finding and enjoying learning resources geared to their interests and needs, which are also available at times when school resources

are not, such as after-school hours, weekends, and during the summer.

Students participate in reading activities year-round, thanks to the public library’s innovative after-school and summer reading programs.

Programs like these help combat the achievement gap that has been shown to significantly widen over the summer.

The library provides a safe place for teens that encourages and values open communication and the sharing of ideas.

Libraries don’t just offer the hardware, but also offer the expertise of librarians in help-

ing teach people how to use the Internet and find the information they need quickly. While Google can give you 50,000 responses to your inquiry, your librarian can help you find the one answer you need.

Libraries and librarians provide free and equal access to information for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Libraries are for everyone, everywhere. Because they offer access to all, they bring opportunity to all.

There are those in our community that believe funding public libraries is a waste of money. They are wrong. The

value received from public libraries far exceeds the amount of taxes we pay for them. You can quickly get an idea of your family’s library value by visiting this website: www.ilovelibraries.org/getinformed/getinvolved/calculator.

For the $151 my (three-person) family will pay in taxes, we use $3200 annually in books and other library services. I doubt I can get that kind of return anywhere. Please vote for the library on Nov. 6!

Student drug testing is not the answer Simply put: Drugs are bad.

Our kids shouldn’t be using them. Kentucky educators and school boards should do everything in their power to educate, deter drug use, and to make sure safety and good health are a foundation of what’s being taught and represented.

It’s not clear if some school districts have a drug epidemic.

But we bet community members will agree their school district has a perception issue. It is a distinct feeling that for some school districts, the whole random-testing nudge is rooted in perception instead of prevention.

School districts in Kentucky

should instead invest the time, energy and dollars they are considering putting into random testing into a larger, cutting-edge Ryan program on Courtade drug education COMMUNITY and prevenRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST tion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you Trash4Cash

“Wow, this really makes me think twice about what I do with my garbage when I’m driving down the road!” This was the astute observation from one of 15 teenagers picking up litter along Clay Ridge Road in Grant’s Lick and was, in my mind, the crowning moment of the event.

Thank you Trash4Cash What had started out as a fund-raiser for the Campbell County High School Band of Pride and an opportunity for band parents to volunteer their teenagers to raise funds for band expenses had been transformed into an important life lesson and a chance to make the world around them a little cleaner.

Most of the 15 teenagers and five adult chaperones, who gathered at the crack of dawn that Saturday morning when they should have been enjoying a welldeserved holiday weekend, weren’t entirely happy to be there or were not yet fully awake – or, perhaps, both.

Having realized they had just surrendered their last free Saturday before a grueling but rewarding competition season that would consume seven of the next eight Saturdays, I wasn’t the most popular person in the room at that particular moment.

I was, however, one of those band parents trying to cover some of the expense of being part of a topnotch band program. An early Saturday morning wake-up call and some sweat equity was the price to be paid for it.

I had learned of the

Campbell County Solid Waste Department’s Trash4Cash program several months earlier and thought it sounded like a great way to earn funds. I had some reservations as I considered picking up someone else’s smelly trash on a hot summer day but $100 per mile of roadway sounded like a promising alternative to another wrapping paper or candy bar sale.

In addition to the muchneeded financial reward that would come from their labor, there was the benefit of the labor itself – teenagers working to pay their way while also improving their community and learning a few lessons along the way.

They learned that despite their own moral objection to littering, others around them apparently did not always share that value.

They also learned that while most homeowners keep their road frontage clean and tidy, stretches of uninhabited roadway seemed to be a target for trash flung from car windows. Most importantly, they learned that they can make a difference and that doing it willingly and gladly made the task much more pleasant.

A vote for the library

I decided to see if it financially made sense to me to vote for the proposed library tax.

I visit the Cold Spring Public Library approxi-

mately once a week. I take my kids there to check out books and also to attend special programs. I live approximately eight miles away from that branch. If I drive round-trip to the library once per week that’s 16 miles x 52 weeks = 832 miles per year.

My car gets about 30 miles/gallon of gas so that’s 832/30 = 28 gallons of gas. 28 gallons x $4.00 per gallon = $112.00 in gas to drive to the Cold Spring Library from my house per year.

I will actually save money if the library is built in Southern Campbell County since I won’t have to drive as far or use as much gas. It’s a “Yes” for me.

Inconvenient office location

This letter is regarding the Sept. 28 article about the Circuit Court Clerk’s race.

I would like to issue a statement regarding my opponent’s comments about the driver’s license office location. I take exception with her comments. First, driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations do renew at the same time. The driver’s license only renews once every four years, but I personally got my renewal notice for my vehicle registration and my driver’s license on the same day, both due in October.

As I walk door to door, countless citizens have expressed their dislike with the location of the office.

It’s especially problematic for senior citizens and disabled people who need to change or renew their driver’s license or state identi-

fication card.

Soon after I registered to run for this position, I was contacted by a worker at the Property Valuation Administration office. She told me that they have a huge problem with it. Citizens who are retired or disabled can get the “Homestead Exemption” on their property taxes, giving them a discount. When they move, they have to stop at the administration office to change their exemption from their prior home to the new. This discount is given only on their primary residence, so they are required to show a valid driver’s license or state identification card with the new address on it. They have to be sent from 1098 Monmouth St. all the way down to Fourth and York streets to change their driver’s license first, and then come back. This is a huge inconvenience for retired and disabled people and the property valuation employees take a lot of complaints about it.

Regarding the distance, there is an elevator at the new building, and parking is right next to the building and is free. The handicapped spaces are right to the doors. The Fourth and York street parking lots are all fee based and require the citizens to cross the street at least once.

This may not be a big deal for the clerk, but it is a big deal for the citizens of Campbell County. I realize that the driver’s license employees can assist with other duties when they’re not busy, but they can still do this if the office is moved. It’s much better to ask the employees to travel between offices than it is to ask every citizen in Campbell County to do so.

er’s license and pay the taxes on her car.

Wow, what a trip. She could never have done this on her own. They moved the driver’s license office into the new building on York Street, there were no signs to tell people where the office was located, but we found it. Then we had to get into the car again and find the Fiscal Court Building in Newport to pay her taxes on her car.

Mom was exhausted from the stress and the trip.

Why isn’t the driver’s license office located where we pay our taxes on our cars? This would save a lot of stress for citizens trying to locate the driver’s license office.

Hats off to Knights of Columbus

This year my friend Karen Rabe and I volunteered for Opportunity Day sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, DeJaco Council, Alexandria, on Sept. 16. It was awesome.

This was the 31st year for Opportunity Day. It is a day for parents and caregivers of special needs individuals to have fun and enjoy a break from the caregiver role. Guests can enjoy games, rides and lunch all under the caring eyes of volunteers assigned to them.

Once Karen and I were matched up with our guests, we were off!

We enjoyed a pontoon ride on the lake, a flatbed truck ride around the beautiful grounds, stopped to have our guests try their luck at all of the games, checked out the petting zoo and had lunch. Weatherwise the day was perfect and the Knights of Columbus grounds are just beautiful. At one point when we looked out over the activity going on, between the guests, their families, volunteers and Knights of Columbus members and their families there had to be between 400-500 people making the “Day” happen.

Smiles and laughter flooded the landscape.

Thank you to each of the Knights of Columbus members who worked so hard to make this day so special.

Thank you for opening your lovely grounds for Opportunity Day, but most importantly, thank you for opening your hearts to make a difference.

Well, that will give you a quick energy boost. Now if you’re giving this to the little ones, you might leave out the pepper.

Giovanna’s easy pumpkin soup

You may know her as Joanne Trimpe, author of Holy Chow cookbook. I know her as Giovanna and when she made this soup on Fox 19, I just had to get the recipe to share with you. This is a nice, warming soup for fall. If you have fresh jalapenos, sub one of those in for the canned. Check out Givoanna’s site: www.holychowcookbook.com.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen:

Ginger root freezes well.

Dairy free, sugar free country style coleslaw I’ll usually add a bit more Splenda and vinegar.

For Mitch, who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. “I love coleslaw and will need to make it at home.” This is good for those with dairy challenges, too.

¼ cup of canola oil 1 large onion (chopped) 2 teaspoons fresh ginger 3 garlic cloves (minced) 1 small can finely chopped jalapenos Zest of one or two limes 2 cans, 15 oz. ea, pumpkin puree 13.5 oz. can light coconut milk (shaken) 4 cups chicken broth

Kosher salt Pepper

In a soup pan, warm oil over medium-low heat.

Saute onion and ginger until soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often.

Stir in lime zest, pumpkin, coconut milk and broth.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.

Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper.

Remove from heat, let cook slightly, puree in a food processor or with a potato masher.

Can you help?

I was a presenter at the Mother Earth News Fair in Seven Springs, Penn. A highlight for me was meeting one of my mentors, Rosemary Gladstar.

Rosemary is an herbalist Rita who has Heikenfeld made a RITA’S KITCHEN career of healing people naturally.

And I was not surprised to find her accessible and willing to talk to everyone about their concerns.

My topic was my family’s favorite anti-aging herbs and foods with Biblical/ancient roots. I knew it was a good one and was happy to see standing room only with 200-plus people attending my session. It makes sense.

When you think of your favorite recipes, particularly the ones that have a healthy twist to them, don’t they always have a history? One recipe I use when anyone gets the sniffles is ginger tea. It’s kept many a cold and flu at bay.

Not all travel insurance is alike Cruising is a $30 billion business attracting both people young and old alike.

In fact, it’s the fastest growing segment of the travel industry. When you book a cruise it’s important to buy travel insurance, but be careful not all travel

insurance is alike.

Gene Trifilio and his wife Jeanie booked a Mediterranean cruise through a travel agent in Florida. At the time they also decided to buy trip insurance through the cruise line.

Trifilio says, “The reason we got the insurance was because of our ages. I was 80 at the time and she was 77, and we just thought at our age something may happen and we’d get our money back.”

Well, something did happen – Jeanie had to have a hip replacement and that prompted them to cancel the cruise. “We couldn’t go on a trip because she could hardly walk. It came on all of a

They gave me my money back but they didn’t give hers back,” Trifilio says.

The cruise line wouldn’t refund the money because it considered the hip problem to have been a pre-existing condition. Trifilio sent a letter from her doctor trying to show otherwise, but that didn’t help.

“I have sent them letters. I sent them all the information from the doctor and still they won’t discuss it,” Trifilio says.

bought. The cruise line only offered them a partial credit toward a future cruise. This is because pre-existing medical conditions were not a valid reason for the cancellation.

However, if you buy trip insurance from an outside company like Travelex, Travel Guard or CSA, you can get much more comprehensive coverage. In addition, if you buy the insurance at the same time you book your cruise you don’t have to worry about having to cancel due to a pre-existing condition.

Some of these policies even allow you to cancel for any reason.

Whenever you leave the country you really need a lot of insurance coverage should something go wrong. For instance, if you become seriously ill and need to be taken from the ship to a hospital the insurance will pay for emergency medical evacuation. These policies also provide tens of thousands of dollars in medical insurance.

Bottom line, many of these policies are more expensive than cruise line insurance, but they also provide much needed protection.

Toy Shop benefits needy children Community Recorder This years Salvation Army Toy Shop Auxiliary’s 56th annual fundraiser takes place Nov. 3 at Armstrong Chapel in Indian Hill.

New this year are auction baskets, theme bags, 18-inch doll clothes and shoes, doll quilts and even baby size quilts.

There will be a boutique and silent auction with a large assortment of Bengal and other team sports collectibles.

Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys and other teams will be represented. The silent auction closes at 12:15 p.m.

A special grand prize contains a men’s medium black leather Bengal jacket, a men’s large Bengal hoodie sweatshirt, two 50-yard line tickets to the Dec. 30 Baltimore Ravens game, a $150 gift card to the Bengal’s Pro Shop, $50 Bengal Bucks for food and drinks and a parking pass. Visitors could take home this package by purchasing a $5 donation ticket at the door.

The live auction contains more than 16 beautiful collectible dolls.

The auction dolls are one of a kind, all hand dressed by volunteers.

Most have several extra outfits, shoes and even furniture and bedding.

Apple Valley dolls, dressed by Marian Wingerter of Evendale, of Cincinnati Bengal’s quarterback Andy Dalton and

wide receiver A.J. Green will be auctioned at the end of the show. Included in these two live auction packages are their autographed jerseys and autographed NFL footballs plus two 50-yardline tickets per package to the Dec. 30 Baltimore Ravens game.

There will also be 600 dolls on display dressed

by Greater Cincinnati area volunteers, which also constitute part of the thousands of toys the Salvation Army distributes to needy children prior to Christmas.

Toy Shop will also distribute 7,000 quality new books to children, which have been personally selected by auxiliary members.

Attendees can do their Christmas shopping and help the Salvation Army at the same time.

The event begins at 11 a.m. at Armstrong Chapel United Methodist Church, 5125 Drake Road, opening with a group of prize-winning dolls from the auxiliary’s doll dressing program. A short program follows in which the award winning doll dressers receive their ribbons.

Proceeds from the auction will be used to purchase new dolls and quality children’s books for next year’s event.

To plant or not to plant ... that is the question Question: Is it better to plant trees and shrubs in the fall or in the spring?

Answer: If the soil is moist, the advantage of planting in early fall is that the tree has more time to establish new roots before winter.

Tree roots continue to grow as long as soil temperMike atures are Klahr above 40 HORTICULTURE degrees F, CONCERNS which is often into December. The advantage of late fall planting is that by then, the tree has “shut down,” is more dormant and is less apt to “de-harden” or suffer transplant shock.

During the fall, trees and shrubs undergo natural, internal changes (“hardening off”) as they “acclimate” to increase their tolerance to upcoming adverse winter conditions. As the leaves start to change color or turn brown, the sugars from leaves are sent down into the roots, where they act like antifreeze to help prevent root freezing.

October is a good month to plant spruces, pines, arborvitae, juniper, Kentucky coffeetree, Amur cork tree, crabapples, elms, ginkgo, honeylocust, katsuratree, sugar maple, Japanese Pagodatree and serviceberry.

A newly planted 2-inch trunk caliper tree needs 15

wait until early spring to plant beech, Japanese snowbell, Carolina silverbell, sassafras, yellowwood, blackgum, hophornbeam, persimmon, redbud, and Japanese Zelkova. Broadleaf evergreens such as hollies, boxwoods, rhododendrons and southern Magnolias should also be planted in the spring, so they won’t lose moisture overwinter and desiccate (dry out and turn brown) by spring.

Other trees are safe to plant in the fall, but will survive better if you can wait until leaf drop or until they get their fall color before transplanting them.

These include purple-leaf plum, red maple, sweetgum, weeping willow, birches, oaks, flowering pear, sycamore, flowering dogwood, and tulip tree (“tulip poplar” or “yellow poplar”).

gallons of water per week, and a 3-inch diameter tree needs 20 gallons of water per week, applied all at one time. Avoid frequent watering to prevent root rot.

The possible disadvantage of planting trees and shrubs in the fall is that the plants are then at the mercy of the winter, and freeze damage often occurs before spring. Fluctuating freezing and thawing throughout the winter further “de-hardens” the plants, and fragile roots get damaged and broken by “frost heaving.”

Plants near roadways and sidewalks also get damaged by de-icing salts during the winter. Slowrooting trees, such as silver linden, peach, and flowering cherries, are more apt to survive if planted in March or early April. Some varieties of Japanese Maples survive better if planted in the spring.

Since we don’t know the severity of the upcoming winter, it may be better to

Here are Marsie Hall my suggesNewbold tions for a MARSIE’S safe and MENAGERIE happy “Howl-o-ween.” If you want to dress your pet up in a costume, only do it if you are certain that your pet will enjoy it and introduce it slowly using praise and food treats as rewards. When shopping, choose something that will go on and come off easily.

Steer clear of costumes that are constricting or have small decorations that could be chewed off.

It is very important that you never leave your pet unattended while they are wearing a costume. There is a danger that they could get tangled up in it and choke.

While we’re on the subject of safety, on Halloween as well as always, make certain that your pets are wearing their collar with up to date ID tags and if outside, on a

Pumpkin Puppy Biscuits. THANKS TO MARSIE NEWBOLD leash at all times. The excitement of trick-ortreaters coming to the door and loud, scary noises can make even the most docile pet try to run away. If your pet is easily frightened, think ahead and consider keeping them in their crate or confined in a quiet room.

This is especially important if you are having a party. With all the commotion, pets can slip out of an open door or accidentally unlocked gate and go missing.

Don’t feed your pets candy meant for humans.

Keep the treats where they can’t reach them.

Many ingredients such as chocolate and artificial sweeteners can be potentially toxic. But, that doesn’t mean that your best friend can’t share in the fun of Halloween treats. Consider keeping a box of store-bought dog biscuits at the door for when pooches come to call; or better yet, bake your own. I can assure you that you will be the hit of the neighborhood! My best received recipe is for dog biscuits made with canned pumpkin. Give it a try!

Why volunteer ... WIFM Radio?

Retired and decidedly finished working for money and wondering what to do with the remainder of your life?

Over 55, recently released from your employer and wondering what to do with the rest of your life?

Want to find new meaning and purpose?

These next three installments of my column will discuss these issues facing us “boomers.”

This first article is about volunteering your time and talents.

Why should we volunteer? We all listen to that same radio station: What’s In It For Me? (WIFM). So it really makes me wonder why I should give my time and energies away for free.

Here’s what in it for me: I live longer! The Corporation for National Community Service reports that seniors who provide social support for

others through volunteering had lower mortality rates than those who Ken Rechtin did not.

COMMUNITY I get RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST smarter!

According to a recent study, seniors who volunteer in social programs not only maintain good brain function, but their brain function and cognitive ability may actually increase. In short, volunteering can actually make me smarter.

I am happier! Giving to others can help combat depression, because giving makes us feel vibrant, important and satisfied.

Even if you are not depressed, volunteering is a rewarding experience that reduces stress and increases happiness. The Corporation for National Community Service notes

that many health benefits associated with volunteering are a result of the sense of accomplishment a volunteer feels when helping others.

I stay involved in my community and meet new people! Many of us spend most of our time at home, where we are comfortable. In fact, a recent article in the Los Angeles Times states that seniors currently spend between half and three-quarters of their time watching television. This social isolation helps explain why so many of us suffer from depression, an estimated 6 to 6.5 million aged 65 years and older. Senior volunteers spend less time at home and more time in their communities, which helps us increase our social and support networks.

I am stronger! A University of California, Los Angeles study suggests that productive activities may actually slow down

the aging process for seniors as well. Previous scientific studies have come to the same conclusions. However, this study specifically suggests that volunteering seems to generate the best results.

Interestingly enough, volunteering is the only productive activity proven to help prevent frailty among seniors.

So, that’s what’s in it for us!

Construction trade school grows, wins accolades Community Recorder The Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky has operated the Enzweiler Apprentice Training Program since 1955.

The 2012-2013 school year recently began with impressive enrollment growth. This year 100 students enrolled in the first year of programming at the school; the largest firstyear enrollment in decades.

The entire program boasts more than 150 students and is planning for an enrollment of more than 200 in 2013.

In addition, the school has received the American Society of Association Executive Workforce Development Award from the National Association of Home Builders. This award recognizes local associations for their achievements in developing tomorrow’s construction workforce.

The program is the oldest private trade school in the nation; operated at the association’s building center located in the Circle-

port Business Center off of Mineola Pike.

Students in the program study two-year classes in carpentry, maintenance and remodeling, plumbing, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The program operates a four-year class for students learning electric.

After graduation, students are certified as trade school graduates and are two years closer to their journeyman’s certificate. The certification acceleration is not available from other schools in the area.

As a side benefit of the program, students earn 24 hours of college credit at Gateway Technical and Community College. Recently, the association has added an incumbent welding program to allow students to expand their skills to current and future employers.

For more information about the Enzweiler Apprenticeship Training program, call Thomas Napier at 859-331-9500 or email him at thomasn@hbanky.com.

“The mission of the foundation is for future generations to continue the commitment to community service which was a fundamental value instilled by my parents. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to deliver the donation to the NKCAC along with my daughter (Michelle Gish Amann),” said Donna Rawe Gish. “The NKCAC is an exceptional organization that focuses on protecting the children while supporting the entire family unit. It was a natural fit for our foundation donation.”

The Rawe Foundation gift will benefit the NKCAC and greater Northern Kentucky community and support the provision of trauma informed mental health services for children seen at the NKCAC. Centerbased services were provided to more than 640 children last year.

“It’s an honor for the Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center to be recognized by the Rawe family in this way.
