In Cold Spring, nine vie for six seats

Noel 1999 to 2002 and from 2006 to 2009.

Noel said she’s lived in the city for 30 years with her Oehrle husband Paul where they’ve raised their son, and her experience gives her insight to how the city works. Noel said she will always put residents first. “I want to keep city taxes down while staying focused on keeping our city services excellent,� Noel said.

Stuart Oehrle, 45, is seeking a fifth term. Oehrle is a chemist for an instrument testing company and teaches at Northern Kentucky University.

Oehrle said he brings an analytical thought process to council and his biggest priority is keeping the city fiscally sound. The city needs to continue not to

assess citizens for streets/sidewalks that the residents already are paying taxes for despite growth patterns flattening in the city, he said. “I’m very proud of the fact that the property tax rates for 10 years ago were higher than they were today,� Oehrle said.

Adam Craig Sandfoss, a first time candidate for council, did not immediately respond to messages left with him.

Jason Schnelle, 39, a financial analyst for Mammotome, said he wants to represent the city’s newer residents.

With a bachelor’s in accounting from NKU, and an M.B.A. from Xavier University, Schnelle said he’s well qualified. He’s also chairman of the Granite Spring Home Owners Association.

Schnelle said he’s concerned that as the city is maturing, the city has borrowed more than $1 million for city projects.

Schnelle said he’s concerned about keeping property taxes low and also that there has been talk on council this year of giving appropriate raises to the employees in city government at a time when most employers are either cutting

back or freezing employees’ wages.

Stephen Taylor, 55, said he wants to give back to his community and bring a fresh perspective to council.

Taylor has been chairman of the city planning and zoning commission for five years, and on P&Z for seven years.

Taylor said he’s committed to continuing to protect property values, and that he’s a firm believer in limited government.

Being a small business owner and his experience with multi-million budgets as a director at a Fortune 500 company makes him well qualified to be on council, Taylor said. “Having served on Planning and Zoning, I am already familiar with most of the issues the city faces,� he said.

Voters will choose from among three newcomers and six veterans of city council in Cold Spring on the Nov. 2 ballot.

For six council seats, there are nine candidates seeking the two-year term elected position.

Lou Gerding, 61, a project manager and communications consultant, said his leadership experience of being on council for the last 20 years is valuable.

Gerding said he wants to continue to support the police by giving them all the tools they need to protect the public, and taking care of the city’s fiscal responsibilities without raising taxes. “I think we need to control the spending, and continue the strategic plan, and also to replace the streets with no assessments on the property owners and at the same time keeping taxes in line,� Gerding said.

David A. Guidugli, 58, was appointed this summer to fill the remainder of Janis Reiman’s unexpired term.

Guidugli, is retired and works part-time for a marketing company. Since 1994 he has spent 12 years on council.

Guidugli said he wants the city to pursue more code enforcement and hire someone on a contract basis to do the work instead of the police chief doing the work as is now the case. Guidugli said he wants to continue the street replacement program at no assessment to property owners. “All that stuff, I figure it helps keep our property values in line with where they need to be,� he said.

Brenda Rodgers Helton, 53, a full-time caregiver and homemaker, was elected in 2008 and was on council from 1988-1998.

Helton said she wants to make sure the city where she raised her children remains a nice place to live by sustaining the same level of police and other services.

Helton said, as a woman, she brings a different perspective. “Right or wrong, like it or not, we see things differently,� she said.

Rob Moore, 44, owner of two businesses in the city including Moore’s Garage, is seeking a fifth term on council. Moore said he wants to ensure police have all the equipment they need and maintain a tight budget.

Moore said the city was able to borrow money at an interest rate of 2.9 percent for the street replacement program, an exceptionally good rate attained in part because of the economy, and also since the city is fiscally sound.

The city also received better than expected construction bids on the street projects, so there’s been a savings in moving some projects that weren’t scheduled to be done until a year or two from now up to this year, he said.

Kathy M. Noel, 57, worked as assistant city clerk from 1993 to 1998, served on planning and zoning in 1998, and was a member of council from

and fun to play with,” said Clegg, a Villa Hills resident.

“That’s why I like doing what I do, because I get to be around them all the time.”

Clegg, a student at Turkey Foot Middle, has been serving as a foster parent for Frankie’s Furry Friends Rescue, a small dog rescue center in Alexandria, since they opened in January. In that time, she’s taken in nine dogs and managed to adopt eight of them out, with Bristol, a quiet lovable Chihuahua, the newest to be searching for a permanent home. For a girl who also runs her own dog-sitting business, serving as a foster parent for dogs in need of some love has been a blast.

“Before we got the first one, my mom and dad had to have a long talk, but they decided to let me do it, and it’s just been going since then,” recalled Allie. “I’m just glad I can help out and try to find some good homes for the dogs.

Allie’s dad, David, said the burden of having an extra dog or two around the house actually hasn’t been much of a burden at all,

with the entire family pitching in to help out. The Cleggs also have two dogs of their own who haven’t minded the extra playmates.

“It’s been a great experience for us, because all of our kids have done a great job of taking responsibility for them,” he said.

David Clegg also said he’s been impressed with the way Allie has helped stick to the goal of being a foster parent – not necessarily an easy task for an 11year-old who loves animals.

“She understands that the goal is to find them a new home and not keep them here,” he said. “The biggest thing we can do is to help socialize the dog so it’s ready for a new home, and that’s been the fun part for us.”

Allie said that letting go of the foster dogs actually hasn’t been too hard, especially when she knows they’re headed to a good home. The length of the adoption process can vary, but she said the longest she’s ever had any foster dog has been about one month, with most of them finding homes fairly quickly.

JASON BRUBAKER/STAFF

Allie Clegg of Villa Hills holds Bristol, the latest foster dog she is trying to adopt out. Clegg, who also runs a dog-sitting business, has taken in nine foster dogs this year through Frankie’s Furry Friends Rescue, a small dog rescue center in Alexandria.

“Once I see they’re in good hands with people who are going to love them, then I’m happy,” she said.

“It’s a little sad to watch them go, but it makes it okay when you know they’re going to have a real home.”

Kathy Thacker, the secretary of Frankie’s Furry Friends, said Allie’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.

The center, which takes in dogs under 25 pounds, many from puppy mills, has adopted out close to 30 dogs since opening their doors in January.

“If we had a prize for the most dogs adopted out, Allie would win it hands down,” said Thacker with a laugh.

“She’s just a great girl with

a heart of gold - we can’t say enough about her and her family for what they’ve done.”

For her part, Allie said she just wants to continue finding good homes for as many dogs as possible, and if that means taking on the sacrifice of a few more cuddly playmates around the house, so be it.

“Sometimes I let them sleep in my bed with me,” she said, giggling. “It’s just fun to have them around the house and to know that we’re helping them out.”

Campbell business leading tree climb

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Climbers of trees from around the U.S. will be clambering into Northern Kentucky for the ninth annual Tree Climbers Rendezvous being hosted by Shelly and Bill Byrne, of California, founders and coowners of EarthJoy. The 2010 Tree Climbers Rendezvous will be at the 140-acre Beechridge “They (the Conference Center near trees) really Visalia in speak when Kenton you go there. C o u n t y Oct. 14You’re like 18.

Shelly Byrne said they chose the Beechridge Conference Center because it has some of the most majestic trees in Kentucky.

“They (the trees) really speak when you go there,” Byrne said. “You’re like ‘Wow, I want to climb that tree.’”

Rendezvous participants will climb trees together and attend educational sessions on everything from a history of recreational tree climbing, rope work tips and tricks, and “Yoga in the Trees” and a “tree dancing” class.

Event details

The ninth annual Tree Climbers Rendezvous hosted by EarthJoy, a Campbell County-based recreational tree climbing business, will be at Beechridge Conference Center near Visalia in Kenton County Oct. 14-18.

Rates are available for single dates or all dates of the Tree Climbers Rendezvous.

Bill Byrne, of California, far right, co-owner of EarthJoy, a recreational tree climbing company, demonstrates how to use ropes and a harness to climb trees as part of a guided group climb at A.J. Jolly Park Saturday, April 24, 2010. EarthJoy will host the ninth annual national Tree Climbers Rendezvous at Beechridge Conference Center near Visalia Oct. 14-18.

It’s the first time the national tree climbing rendezvous has been in the Cincinnati area and it won’t be back again for a long while, said Shelly Byrne.

Previously, the rendezvous has been in locations including Colorado and Mississippi and in the Redwood trees of Oregon.

Unique activities at the rendezvous will include the setting up of a “tree boat village” where people can spend the night up in a tree

in special hammocks, Byrne said.

There will also be a rescue course for advanced climbers and Jason Neumann, an experimental educational specialist for the Cincinnati Nature Center, will lead a vertical nature hike, she said.

There are daily rates available for the rendezvous and opportunities for beginners who are new to tree climbing to come for a single day if they’re curious

about what it’s all about, Byrne said.

“We get into the trees and play together and then what happens is we’re all laughing because you’re in the trees with nature and all these cool people,” she said.

Don’t forget your tax incentive for energy efficient replacements.

Superintendent, schools on Facebook

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Campbell County Schools Superintendent Anthony Strong has his own Facebook fan page now.

It’s not so much an attempt to be cool, but to connect with immediacy online as many students and parents often do already.

Since the page was started near the beginning of September, Strong has posted photos of a dance at Grant’s Lick Elementary School and from a sports event he attended. He’s even posted the scores of athletic games.

There’s also been more serious posts like clueing people into a meeting he was having with a group of parents about preventing high school dropouts.

The Facebook page is still new, so the content is a work in progress, Strong said.

“I see it as a way for me to send out real quick, positive things because I can access Facebook from my phone as a contact,” he said.

Strong said he can post links and people can comment on his posts, but can’t just post anything they want onto the pages “wall” because it’s a fan page.

Strong said he’s always tried to be a superintendent who is accessible to the community and students.

It’s great when students recognize teachers and administrators out in public, he said. That way the students feel comfortable enough that they can come up and talk to the administrator anytime, Strong said.

It’s not his motivation to make students think he’s cool by starting the page, he said.

“Certainly, I want them to feel like it’s an opportunity for them

because they are the people we serve, and kids obviously are on Facebook,” Strong said.

In addition to Strong’s Facebook fan page, almost all of the district’s schools have fan pages including Campbell Ridge, Reiley and Grant’s Lick elementary schools and Campbell County Middle School, said Juli Hale, director of community relations for the district.

The rest of the schools are working on their Facebook pages, Hale said. With so many people using the social media service already, it’s just another avenue to reach parents and, in some cases, students, she said.

They can even receive notices through Facebook on their cell phones about last minute event announcements and programs on tight deadlines, Hale said.

“We’re kind of meeting them where they are,” she said.

Love one another

Fourth-grade teacher Terri Shields of St. Joseph Cold Spring knows her students work better as a team when they take time to get to know and understand one another. To help foster that spirit of caring and concern for each other, the students work together in pairs to write acrostic poems about each other using their partner’s first name. They learn about each other’s lives, their likes and dislikes, and put this information in a poem which they share with the class. This process unites the class and instills the students with a spirit of charity, which allows them to work together better as a team, as a class, as one.

Career fair engaging entire high school

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Students are frequently asked what type of career they’re interested in pursuing, and each fall a college and career fair at Campbell County High School helps students in grades 9-12 work on their answer.

The high school is anticipating representatives from about 20

professions and officials from more than 25 colleges at the school’s annual college and career fair in the gym from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19.

“The thing is kind of for them to even start thinking about, is that something I want to do,” said Linda Bates, coordinator of the school’s Youth Service Center.

Careers being represented will include a chef, judge, law enforce-

ment, various construction trades, professional sales, a dental assistant, and a composer and singer of songs, Bates said.

The school is especially seeking a physical therapist to participate in the career fair, she said.

Students will be required to go and speak with some of the career professionals so they can get an idea of if they are interested in that type of work and write down

their thoughts about the careers represented, Bates said.

“Our goal this year is to have a questionnaire to where they have to interact with the people,” Bates said.

Students will also be learning about what type educational paths match up well with specific career fields, she said.

Hopefully, parents can talk to their children both before and after

the career fair, and start a conversation about the future, Bates said.

“Really it will just create some dialogue between students and parents about where they want to go after high school,” she said.

For details about volunteering at the school’s college and career field call Linda Bates at 635-4161 or e-mail Linda.Bates@campbell. kyschools.us.

NEWS FROM NKU NorseMedia receives four pro video awards

Northern Kentucky University’s NorseMedia won four awards and one finalist recognition in the 2010 Philo T. Farnsworth Awards, an annual video competition that honors the best in community media productions from Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.

Student producers from NKU entered their work into the highlycompetitive professional division.

The awards were in the following

categories, with project title: Arts/Cultural Awareness, “The Historic Southgate House”; Webcast, “Walkthrough of the Southgate House”; Community Event Coverage, “Oktoberfest 2009”; and Computer-Generated Art/Animation, “Revelation Trail: Lilith’s Story, Act I.” The finalist recognition was in Arts/Cultural Awareness for “Faculty Art Show 2009.” The competition is coordinated by the Central States Region of the Alliance for Community Media.

Two separate grants for $950 from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation are helping to improve programs at St. Catherine of Siena.

Principal Doug Lonneman said after years of budget cuts, teacher Dave Schlachter volunteered to put together a grant writing team, which has resulted in the school receiving $15,000 to $20,000 in grants in the past three years.

“Doing everything it takes to write a grant is very time consuming, and Dave has really stepped up and the school has really benefited from his work,” Lonneman said.

One of the most recent grants

received is going to benefit the school’s student news program, which began two years ago after the school received a grant from Best Buy that they were able to use to buy video equipment.

Lonneman said after the students got involved in the program and started videotaping plays and news stories, they found that the sound quality was lacking because they had to use to camera’s internal microphone.

“The grant will allow us to purchase a high quality video camera system that allows for external microphones to be used,” Lonneman said. “The kids are really excited to start taping a live TV news show soon.”

The other grant from the foun-

dation is going towards the school’s Accelerated Reader program.

Lonneman said the program used to be federally funded and that money was used to buy books for the school’s library.

Now, because of these kinds of grants, the program will keep going and keep the kids excited about reading, Lonneman said.

“Since St. Catherine has been involved in the Accelerated Reader program our students’ excitement about reading has been tremendous,” said Librarian Sue Perkins. “The grant we received toward new library books will enhance our library collection and add to the students’ enthusiasm for reading.”

Bryan ties Mustangs on Senior Night

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

As the famous phrase goes, a tie is like kissing your sister.

For Kaitlin Bryan, a tie was just a way to preserve an unbeaten season at home for her “sisters” on the Campbell County girls’ soccer team.

Bryan’s goal with less than two minutes remaining salvaged a 1-1 tie with rival Bishop Brossart Sept. 29.

The Camels were undefeated at home this year with as the school honored Bryan and the other 10 seniors on the team before the game.

“We were not accepting a loss tonight,” Bryan said.

“We had a big group of 11 girls, and we were not accepting that at all. We haven’t lost on this field this season, so that motivated everybody.”

Bryan, the Camels’ leading scorer the past two years, connected on her 10th goal of this year after a diving save by junior goalkeeper Megan Rauch.

Rauch started a quick fast

break the other way, and Bryan won a one-on-one race with a Brossart defender before depositing the ball inside the right post.

“We try quick transitionals at practice all the time,” Bryan said. “We all wanted to come out here and focus, do our best on the field, make sure we have good memories and not let anybody down.”

Bryan also had a clutch second-half goal in a home tie against Newport Central Catholic.

“One of our goals was not to lose at home,” said Camel head coach Dave Morris. “I don’t think any Campbell County team has done that. They don’t quit.”

Campbell ended the game 8-5-4, Brossart 5-83. Abby Stadtmiller scored for Brossart.

The tie kept the teams in a deadlock for third place in seeding for the 19th District Tournament. Newport Central Catholic and Highlands tied for first. Both ties will be broken by a coin flip. The district tourney is the week of Oct. 11.

JAMES WEBER/STAFF

Campbell County senior Kaitlin Bryan poses with her parents during Senior Night festivities before the teams’ 1-1 tie Sept. 29 at Campbell County.

Campbell started the season 1-3 but has found its rhythm since the return of senior Carolynn Dreyer, a key leader on defense. She suffered a dislocated kneecap over the summer and has played the second half of the season with a big knee brace.

“Since she’s come back we’ve had one loss,” Morris

said. “She leads the way on our defense.”

Other seniors are Chelsea Strouse, Catrina Lloyd, Sydney White, Sarah Carroll, Megan Nehus, Anna Carrigan, Brittani Orth, Julie Ampfer and Bridget Donoghue.

“We’re all really close,” Bryan said. “We do team bonding activities. We’ve all

been close for a long time.”

Carrigan is second on the team with five goals. Rauch has seven shutouts.

Brossart head coach Terry Bray is proud of the way his team has matured this season. The Mustangs have three seniors and two starters returning from last year in Maria Silbersack and Nicole Ridder. Stephanie Ritter and Carmen Enzweiler are other seniors and were honored at the Campbell game as well. Ritter played despite suffering bruised ribs in a car accident earlier that day.

Stadtmiller and Silbersack were tied for team leadership with six goals apiece.

“This has been a whole year of a learning experience,” said Bray, who led Holy Cross to the 2003 state final. “From July 15 until now, it’s been a great transformation. I’m really proud of them. We’re finishing better now and defending better. We were probably better defensively early, but now it has evened out.”

’09 success helps NewCath netters in ’10

By Adam Turer kysports@communitypress.com

At this time last year, Newport Central Catholic’s volleyball team was getting ready to embark on a surprising run to the state semifinals.

This year, the postseason challenges will seem more familiar to the Thoroughbreds, who return several starters from last season’s team.

The regular season has been a big challenge and the ’Breds were a slightly disappointing 11-14 heading into the final week of the regular season.

Head coach Vicki Fleissner is hopeful that some of the regular season losses will translate to postseason victories.

“We played a real tough schedule and lost some tough matches,” Fleissner said. “We hope the tougher schedule will help us in the long run.”

A five-set loss to Cincinnati Seton Saturday, Oct. 2 was an accurate snapshot of the Thoroughbreds’ 2010 season. Facing a quality opponent, the ’Breds battled before losing focus late and letting victory slip away.

Playing power programs like Sacred Heart and Assumption (both losses) should also help NewCath as postseason play begins.

“We gave up some tough victories early in the year,” Fleissner said. “We are still trying to fine-tune our mental toughness.”

This year’s roster is deep with juniors who played

key roles as sophomores during the 2009 run to the state final four. There were some significant changes on the court.

With an experienced and talented group returning, Fleissner and her staff worked on playing a more up-tempo style this season.

The players are still working on fully adapting to the new system.

“Most of our girls play club volleyball and can handle the quicker pace,” Fleissner said. “We’ve been trying a couple of new things defensively and implementing a quicker style of play.”

The veteran leaders on the team complement one another. Junior setter Taylor Snyder runs the offense.

Junior outside hitter Liz Gru-

enschlaeger provides a calming on court presence, according to Fleissner.

Junior middle hitter Maggie O’Day has been putting her game together over the past few weeks. Outside hitter Sarah Suedkamp, the only senior starter, provides senior leadership.

“We hope to have some role players step up over these next few weeks,” Fleissner said.

The deep postseason run last year should help the Thoroughbreds as they begin postseason play Oct. 12 against Newport at Dayton.

“The postseason experience that the girls got last year should help get rid of any nerves in District and Regional play,” said Fleissner. “I think our team has

the confidence that we can win any match and get back to state.”

Foes of ballot issue reorganize

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The lead opposition group against the idea to change the type of representation on Campbell County Fiscal Court is fighting under a new banner after their political and ideological foes complained.

The Campbell Leadership Action Group (CLAG) announced through a Sept. 24 news release the group’s opposition to the issue on the Nov. 2 election ballot to switch to an eight justice of the peace style of government instead of the current three commissioner system.

Tim Nolan, a leader of the group “Committee To Restore Good Government” that’s supporting the justice of the peace system issue, sent a letter to Northern Kentucky University claiming that CLAG becoming politically active was inappropriate.

Now, instead of CLAG being the lead activist group, Citizens Against Government Expansion, a new political action group filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, will take the lead.

CLAG is not affiliated with NKU, and no university funds are used by or directed to the group, said Chris Cole, director of media

relations and communications for NKU. However, CLAG, like other groups not affiliated with the university, does hold meetings on campus, Cole said.

Historically NKU’s president, as leader of one of Campbell County’s largest organizations, has been invited to attend meetings and serve as an “Ex-officio” member of the group, Cole said.

“We have notified CLAG that if the group raises funds for or participates in election or ballot-related activities, NKU representatives, in their official capacity, cannot participate in the organization,” Cole said.

NKU has also removed a web-

Brownfield grants benefit trails idea

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The federal government is granting $400,000 to governments in Campbell County in order to identify sites along the Licking River contaminated by toxins for future cleanup efforts.

The money will be used to identify sites along the Licking River that might one day be part of the Licking River Greenway and Trails, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine.

The trail network is planned to be on both sides of the Licking River through Covington, Newport and Wilder from the confluence of the Ohio River to the Interstate-275 bridge over the Licking.

Volunteers started their first work the weekend of Oct. 2-3 beginning at Oakland Avenue in Covington and working their way north, according to an Oct. 6 email newsletter from the Green-

way initiative.

The volunteers are restoring shoreline habitats through the cleanup and removing invasive plant species like honeysuckle on the hillsides to be replaced with native grasses.

Campbell County Fiscal Court, through the Northern Kentucky Area Development District (ADD) and the City of Newport, have both been granted $200,000 grants to assess and identify brownfield sites, Horine said.

According to the EPA, a brownfield is a property where the reuse might be complicated by the presence of a potentially hazardous substance.

“This is sort of a focused effort to look at the whole Licking River corridor and get sites in that area cleaned up,” he said.

Money from the brownfield grants won’t pay for the actual cleanup of any sites, but it will pay for the money to perform scientific testing of things like soil

and groundwater at sites along the river, Horine said.

“Now, this doesn’t provide the funds to clean it up,” he said. “It covers the cost of an assessment and figuring out if we do have a problem.”

Horine said property owners are sometimes apprehensive about having their property tested, preferring to not know about a problem if there is one because of the costs of clean-up.

There are other grants aimed at cleanup associated with underground storage tanks, he said.

Sometimes there was an issue with a property that occurred many years ago when the land was owned by someone else that many people might have forgotten about, Horine said.

It’s better to know about a problem because if there is some kind of contamination, it needs to be addressed, he said.

“Ultimately you’ve got to deal with anyway,” Horine said.

Ft. Thomas program is tops for trees City honored for its urban forestry

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Fort Thomas is this year’s pick for the Outstanding Community award by the Northern Kentucky Urban and Community Forestry Council for their urban forestry program.

The award, which city representatives will receive at a ceremony later this month, is given to one Northern Kentucky city every year that the council feels stands out above others when it comes to urban forestry.

Rick Horn, a member of the council, said it was a combination of Fort Thomas’s past accomplishments and things they are working on this year that made them the right choice for the 2010 award.

“Fort Thomas was the first city in Northern Kentucky to be named a Tree City USA years ago, and they just have a legacy of taking care of their trees,” Horn said.

“Their past combined with all they’ve been doing recently made them stand out as a city worthy of this award.”

Assistant City Administrator Jay Treft said the city’s tree board has been very active in the past year, from updating the city’s 20year-old tree ordinance to updating the city’s recommended tree list.

Treft said with the new updates, the city is “on the cutting edge” among urban forestry programs, finding the appropriate balance between developer and home-owner rights and efforts to preserve green space.

The council that gives the award is made up of a group of citizens and professionals who support the work of existing organizations and agencies interested in urban forestry.

City incumbents vie for mayoral job

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Alexandria residents have a choice of who will lead the city for the next four years between the incumbent mayor and an incumbent council member who is challenging.

Incumbent Mayor Dan McGinley, seeking a fourth term, is being challenged by council member Bill Rachford, a member of council for four years, for the city’s top elected post.

Rachford, 66, said his platform includes bringing consistent enforcement of city ordinances, a citywide

beautification program and improving communication and cooperation with council, residents and business owners.

A former member of the city’s planning and zoning commission, Rachford said he’s been involved with the city for the last 12 years.

Rachford said he will bring a fiscal background to the mayor’s job, with credentials including a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Maryland, and having worked as a financial consultant and underwriter.

“Quite frankly, I think

can do a better job,” Rachford said.

Rachford said he wants to improve the accessibility and accountability of the city to the citizens.

“When projects are done and people want to know what it costs, that should be an easy answer,” he said.

“Nobody should have to go through a public records request to get the answer to that question.”

McGinley, 67, said people are in his office and calling every day, talking over issues and sitting down and seeing what can be done.

“That door is open, everybody in town knows that,” he said.

McGinley, said if people remember nothing else that he has, and will continue to save the city $100,000 in salary and benefits that might otherwise be going to a city administrator. McGinley said his opponent will probably need to hire a city administrator.

McGinley said he enjoys doing the job and wants people to remember things like how the city’s reserves have increased from $174,000 to more than $1 million during his 12-year tenure.

“You can’t replace that,” McGinley said. “I don’t care who would walk into this office after me, he’s got to start to build those relationships that I already have.”

In terms of ideas, Rachford said he thinks the city needs to take a more active role in maintaining the appearance of the city, including maintaining city streetscapes, and also making sure the grass doesn’t get too tall on U.S. 27.

Rachford said even though U.S. 27 is a state highway, the city needs to make sure it is maintained and the grass around the sidewalks cut.

“If the state’s not going to do that, I will,” he said.

Rachford said he is an Eagle scout, and still active volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America and the national and local Eagle scout associations. Rachford said he’s also been on multiple community boards including serving on Holly Hill Children’s Services

“I want people to know that I am an honest and trustworthy person with integrity,” he said.

Rachford said he wants to keep the city safe and maintain the police department while keeping taxes low, and when development returns and the economy picks back up, to make sure growth happens in a controlled manner.

McGinley is retired from a business career, including being a former president of the footwear division for Scholl Inc. McGinley said under his guidance, the city bought its current city building and community center for $1 million, spent $200,000 to renovate it, and then sold the older city building for about $200,000 and the city now only owes $344,000 on the new building that also houses the police department.

“We’re not going to require space for offices for anybody else for 20 years,” he said.

McGinley said through knowing state legislators including Senate President Pro-Tem Katie Stine, RSouthgate, the city was able to obtain a $200,000 grant

for new sewer and water lines on Viewpoint Drive.

That wasn’t enough, and Stine was able to put in another $300,000 into the pot to help pay for the city’s most expensive project ever.

McGinley said he was able to get Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky to waive the tap-in fee for residents of Viewpoint to tap into the new lines and got the cost down to about $6,000 per homeowner on the street payable at 1 percent interest over 20 years.

Without the Viewpoint sewer project, some of the resident’s houses were in danger of being condemned by the health department, he said.

“Raw sewage was running down the street, and the health of people who lived there was an issue,” McGinley said.

McGinley said he wants people to judge him on his record.

“I think if there are criteria to judge me by, it’s by the last 12 years,” McGinley said.

Continued from A1 “We knew there were people outside this organization who were working just as hard in opposition to this,” Heil said of the new group.

Heil said his personal opposition to the ballot issue, and wanting to get the facts about it out to voters, is what led him to bring the issue up at CLAG in the first place.

Heil said it’s not unusual for CLAG’s membership to talk about needs the county has and then advocates a position to state legislators to support projects like an east-to-west connector road for the county.

Some members of CLAG, who didn’t want to be involved with a decision to opposing the ballot initiative, abstained from voting, he said.

“We had overwhelming

majority of members who were in opposition to this, so that’s why we did what we did, but it’s transitioned,” Heil said.

Heil said not just anyone can become a member of CLAG, they have to be nominated by a member first, and the $50 annual dues are mostly to pay for the breakfast served at meetings.

“It’s a leadership group, but it’s essentially a membership organization,” he said.

Nolan said he maintains that CLAG shouldn’t have been involved in political campaigning, and he wants an apology from Heil.

“In terms of NKU, I think as soon as it was brought to their attention they acted decisively and correctly,” he said. “So, I’m real happy with what they did.”

Keep Dan McGinley a ‘proven leader’ Our fine city of Alexandria has been on a fast track for some 20 plus years. We are no longer a rural cousin.

I have lived in or on the outskirts of this city for 45 yrs and have paid close attention to our growth and how it has been managed. There have been many improvements that have added to the quality of this city.

Not long ago we were a town of cisterns and septic tanks, and side roads in need of attention.

Now infrastructure is first class and in the last 12 years, with over $5,000,000 spent on street repair and reconstruction, our roads are great.

Our police department is the best trained and best equipped in Northern Kentucky.

We have a new city building which has been remoldeled to fit city needs. This is now a more than adequate facility which is worth $1,900,000.

This is approximately $675,000 more than our investment and $700,000 less than replacement cost. The former city building was sold to the county for $264,000.

Forward planning by purchase of this building has proven to be a very smart move as the city is positioned for the future and can better serve it’s residents, plus we end up with built in equity.

We have a new public works facility built at a cost of $300,000 with no borrowed money.

Significant investment upgrading information systems, communications and public works equipment for police maintainence and administration.

Robert Grants are a Feinauer result of co-operaCommunity tion with county, state and federal Recorder officials and the guest persistence necescolumnist sary in pursuing these funds.

Now let’s take into account that all of the above has been accomplished without the added expense of a full time city manager.

This because our incumbent mayor of the last 12 years, Dan McGinley, functions in lieu of a separate city manager saving the city that person’s salary of some $80,000-plus. Dan McGinley is at the city building every day.

Almost unheard of these days is that with all of our growth, improvements and expenses, we have grown from a cash reserve of $174,000 ten years ago to presently over $1,000,000.

Quite a feat. progress and accomplishment never just happen. Good, experienced leadership make it happen.

Dan McGinley is that proven leader. An effectively run city with a balanced budget, controlled growth keeping our rural appeal.

What more can we ask for? Let the record speak for itself. Keep Dan McGinley as mayor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stoeber for Cold Spring Mayor

Mark Stoeber is currently serving his second term as Cold Spring Mayor. He was a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to two consecutive terms on City Council.

He has exceptional professional credentials/experience. Mark is a CPA and has been an HR director for an international corporation for the past six years.

From the beginning, he presented a strategic plan for managing the City. This included a 13-year projection of revenues/expenditures and a 30-year street repair plan.

The revenue projection assists systematic progress of steady growth/development.

The 30-year street repair plan helps maintain continuing property values. City auditors have commented on the city’s exceptionally strong financial foundation in comparison to other cities.

Patriotic pride/support for our veterans is proclaimed with the veterans’ memorial on the front lawn of the City building.

As a resident and former Cold Spring city councilman, I endorse Mark Stoeber for Cold Spring mayor.

James Daley for Co. Attorney

Having both been Campbell County Judges for more than 20 years, and having worked with the county attorney’s office for all of those years, we feel like we have a good handle on what it takes to be a good county attorney. We have both known current county attorney Jim

Daley since the time he was a Kentucky state trooper through his time as executive director of the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force, commander of the Kentucky State Police Legal Office, Chief Deputy and legal officer for the Campbell County Jail, Assistant Campbell County Attorney and now county attorney.

We know Jim Daley to be a very conservative, honest, hard working, dedicated and non partisan public servant. We know Jim to be a straight shooter who calls them as he sees them and that is what is needed in a County Attorney.

Please join us in voting for Jim Daley for Campbell County Attorney.

Steve Franzen for Co. Attorney

The makings of a good county attorney are measured by their practice of local government law, their ability to create new ideas, and a servant-minded attitude.

Steve Franzen has all of the attributes that our county needs in an attorney. In addition, Steve wants to introduce taxpayer savings initiatives like self-insurance and defending his own cases versus farming them out. You can count on Steve Franzen to be our watch dog in county government and provide due diligence on all matters that affect every citizen and every business.

Daley takes cheap shot

In regard to (a) Sept. 30, 2010 article about the upcoming election between Jim Daley and Steve Franzen for Campbell County attorney, I want to comment on Mr. Daley’s quote that “I’ve worked hard to protect seniors and children, and he’s chosen to represent criminals and doing criminal work as opposed to representing the people.”

I was the long-time administrator of Campbell County Public Defenders Inc., where Mr. Franzen had the bulk of his criminal defense experience. The lawyers who were employed by the corporation to represent indigent defendants were paid a pittance per month for the time they spent in carrying out their duties. One of the chief functions of the county attorney is to decide which cases should be prosecuted.

Several members of Mr. Daley’s assistant county attorneys have done criminal defense work in the past, and his comment about Mr. Franzen is simply a cheap shot.

John Gerard Patten, Attorney at Law Fort Thomas

Keep James Daley

When our former County Attorney, Justin Verst, retired effective 1/1/2009, Republican Judge Executive Steve Pendery took a lot of flack from his own party for appointing Democrat Jim Daley to the Office of Campbell County attorney. However, in my mind, it is very refreshing to see someone put partisan politics aside and appoint the person he feels is most qualified for the job. The duties as county prosecutor and legal advisor to the Fiscal Court are extremely important and from everything I have seen and heard, Jim Daley has been doing an excellent job. He is very conservative, pro life, ethical, honest and hard working.

Please join us in voting to keep Jim Daley as our Campbell County attorney.

Wilder, a sanctuary next door I am Michael Dinn, a proud resident of Wilder. It’s only been 14 years since Frances and I moved to Wilder, some here would say that we are ‘still new.’ We have moved here twice, once to bring our newborn children home to a fine Fischer home and again when we could develop a small custom neighborhood. Living in Wilder has become so meaningful that, like many, I have answered the call to serve our City and am a current member of our City Council.

Wilder is a crossroads of so much that defines Northern Kentucky. We come from a long heritage of farming and steel, admittedly faded American industries, but it was hard work and family that created this City. We are adjacent to Downtown Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University, major metro highways, the Licking River and quiet wooded lanes.

We are home to students and seniors, workers and managers, start ups and major businesses. We honor our Veterans. We celebrate bluegrass music. What hasn’t faded over the years is our sanctuary of comfortable living and thoughtful leadership. I believe

these qualities go hand in hand.

To Wilder’s most recent success amid changing times I must credit our Mayor Stanley Turner.

Mayor Turner embodies the warmth and integrity of Wilder with personal example and a strong, quiet leadership. His wonderful wife Norma is our soul and our smile. Together, they represent all of the reasons that Wilder was recently ranked seventh in the Best Places to Live in greater Cincinnati. We have today the finest police, fire and safety services for a small City, a balanced budget with reserves, a strong senior citizen base and an eye for growth. I have worked with Mayor Turner for the last eight years and have found his approach to City governance to be open, caring and always in our best interests. Not to say it has always been easy. Years ago when the our national downturn began, Mayor Turner spoke to me personally on the hard decisions that lay ahead, paused and then said ‘ … with your help, the decisions ahead are not really hard, just painful.’ On his watch, the City of Wilder has maintained our fine quality of life without raising

Voting information for local residents With the very important elections for many offices coming up Nov. 2, 2010, it may be helpful to review some of the laws concerning voting which have been passed over the years.

Voters will need some type of identification with them in order to vote. Under Kentucky law, poll workers must turn away prospective voters who do not have identification, unless the poll workers are personally acquainted with the voter.

Acceptable identification includes any one of the following: • A drivers’ license; • An identification card with a photo and signature; • An original Social Security card; or • A credit card.

If a voter has forgotten his or her identification, he or she may leave and return with proper identification.

Other laws and regulations to keep in mind include the following: • Voters must have been registered to vote by Oct. 5th to vote in the Nov. 2nd election.

• Once voters sign the precinct roster book, they must wait in line to vote or vote immediately. If the lines are long, voters cannot sign in and then come back later to vote.

Cold Spring mayor job contested

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

In the Cold Spring mayoral race there’s an agreement that the city is “maturing,” but not as to who is the best person to lead the city for the next four years.

The candidates are incumbent Mark Stoeber, who is seeking re-election to a third term, and Nancy Bay, a former city employee for 15 years, who is seeking her first elected position.

Bay, 67, who retired as finance secretary for the city, said she thinks the city is in good shape, but thinks

Stoeber Bay eight years is enough for a mayor.

Bay said she waited until the final minutes before the Aug. 10 deadline to file her candidacy, wanting to make sure she could challenge Stoeber without a third person in the race.

It’s time for a change to a mayor who is available to speak with residents and businesses during the workday, she said.

Bay said the city has a problem with a lack of communication, and she wants to reach out to residents, businesses and neighboring community leaders to sit down and talk out any issues or problems.

“I think in these hard times that all cities are having, they might be big things, they might be little things, but we all need to

work together,” Bay said.

Bay said she wants to develop a business retention plan after first talking with businesses.

Retaining businesses will keep taxes low and help the residents of the city, she said.

Bay said she will be a full-time mayor, and if elected she will evaluate the city administrative officer position see if it can be used in another way for the city.

Bay said if elected, she will not need the position, but doesn’t plan to get rid of any personnel.

Stoeber, 53, director of human resources for Senco, said he’s running again because his work isn’t done.

“The city’s not out of the woods yet,” he said.

In recent years the city’s had challenges related to being the fastest growing city in Kentucky, and now the city is stable, but has to be managed to weather the greatest economic downturn in a generation, Stoeber said.

Stoeber said on the issue of his availability to just ask

his wife about the amount of time he spends working after hours on city business, taking breakfast and lunch meetings, and meeting with residents on evenings and weekends.

Stoeber said his broadbased education and background, including an accounting degree from Northern Kentucky University and management experience working at national and international companies has afforded him the diverse experience to help solve the complex issues the community of Cold Spring faces.

Stoeber said he’s committed to providing the same level of policing service on a flat city budget and continuing to execute the city’s 30-year street replacement plan, which was based on the city having a nearly flat budget.

Additionally, the southeast corner of U.S. 27 across from Meijer has previously been and might be again the subject of interest by developers for a possible $200 million development that might include the creation

Lawsuits

Bay said the city is involved in three lawsuits, including a suit the city field against Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky over storm water management.

The judge in the case has even said both sides need to get together and settle the issue, and nobody comes out on top because it costs everyone in the end, she said.

Bay said she wants to read the original agreement the city had with SD1 before

she would weigh in on the merits of the suit, but thinks the two sides could sit down as people and come to an agreement.

“I think it’s time to get these settled and done with because they do cost money,” Bay said.

Stoeber said it’s unfortunate that Bay has made litigation a campaign issue because it’s complex. It’s also presumptuous to make any assumptions about the lawsuits, he said.

On the storm sewer issue, the city is committed to the position that SD1 needs to take over all or none of the maintenance of the storm sewer infrastructure in the city and the city has been discussing the issue with SD1 for years.

“We have had plenty of conversations with SD1 and those conversations have led us to file the lawsuit,” he said.

of a Tax Increment Financing District, Stoeber said.

Stoeber said he’s qualified to work with developers on a tight timeline on that kind of complicated project.

Cold Spring is similar in size to where he grew up in Mount Airy, Ohio, but needs to manage its maturity as a suburban city better, Stoeber said.

“I’m passionate about the city because I’m not going to let what happened to where I grew up happen to this city,” he said.

Dayton candidate shares goals

Dayton City Council candidate Penny Mastruserio Hurtt said she wants to help the city provide more housing opportunities, attract more businesses by offering incentives and provide more recreational activities for all residents.

“I am dependable, dedication and experienced and I want to see Dayton become so much more than it already is,” Hurtt said. “We have a rich history of families staying in the city for generations and we need to continue to build on that tradition by bringing new families to Dayton.”

Local leaders support Ky. 536 widening

The plan to widen portions of Ky. 536 into Alexandria and create a new highway extension of the roadway to the AA

Highway has been talked about for years, and put in and taken out of the state’s six-year highway plan.

Ky. 536 intersects with I-75 in Boone County and continues through southern Kenton County into southern Campbell County. The highway currently ends where it intersects with U.S. 27, and the idea is to expand the road from U.S. 27 to the AA Highway. The idea is to take some traffic off a U.S. 27 that is sometimes congested, especially at rush hours, said Alexandria Mayor Dan McGinley.

Many local officials have supported the plan to widen and extend the highway over the years including county leaders and city leaders.

Alexandria, Cold Spring and others are planning to endorse the Ky. 536 connector idea once again this year, McGinley said.

Alexandria took action in

the form of a resolution of support for the Ky. 536 connector at the Thursday, Oct. 7 council meeting.

Local man plays part in ‘Secretariat’

Campbell County resident John Mendell, who has a horse farm near Alexandria and home in Fort Thomas, walks a thoroughbred horse out of the stalls at Churchill Downs in Louisville during the filming of the new Disney movie “Secretariat” opening in theaters Friday, Oct. 8.

From the Campbell County Connect blog: Campbell County’s recycling dumpster outside the Campbell County Police Department at 8774 Constable Drive in Alexandria has been overflowing at times this year as moreand-more residents are bringing their recyclables from home.

In one respect, that’s a good thing, because more people are recycling, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine.

Sometimes the police chief has had to call before the once-weekly collection

time to notify other county employees that the bin was overflowing and people were leaving items outside the bin, Horine said.

Obviously, having trash or recycling sitting around creates an undesirable blight issue, so the county is taking steps to remedy the situation, he said.

Starting immediately, the collection of items in the recycling bin will be every five days instead of every seven days, Horine said.

Also, the county is adding a separate paperonly recycling bin, he said.

The county explored

adding larger recycling bins, and examined the best way to deal with the increase in recyclables, but didn’t do anything right away because there is a cost associated with picking up the bins more frequently, Horine said.

“The most cost-effective thing was to increase the pickup from once every seven days to once every five days,” he said.

The county also has a recycling drop-off bin outside the Campbell County Animal Shelter at 1898 Poplar Ridge Road in Camp Springs, Horine said.

Walk will benefit future teachers fund

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Retired high school teacher Priscilla Roberts of Alexandria has challenged the teacher’s society she took over the presidency of to give out more scholarships to upand-coming teachers.

Thus was born the alliterationpacked event named “Chalk, Walk, Talk” where members of the Upsilon Chapter of Northern Kentucky’s Delta Kappa Gamma will walk with community members Saturday, Oct. 23 to raise scholarship money.

The walkers will start from Reiley Elementary School at 10 a.m. and stroll along the older and now often unused section of U.S. 27 up to Campbell County High School.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., and after a lunch at the walk’s conclusion, it’s expected everything will be finished by 1 p.m., Roberts said.

Many of the chapter’s past scholarship winners, including

last year’s recipient Jennifer Harris, have either been student teachers in Campbell County Schools District or are still teachers in the school district, Roberts said.

Harris is now teaching full-time at Dixie Heights High School in Kenton County, where Roberts taught honors English and arts and humanities for 18 years.

Roberts retired in 2008 after a 31year teaching career.

“A majority of our teachers are still teaching in Campbell County or are retired from Campbell County,” Roberts said.

The chapter is actually trying to get more members teaching in Kenton County Schools, she said.

Roberts said the focus of the walk is education, and she wants the chapter to raise enough money to fund possibly two, instead of one annual $500 scholarship.

The scholarships are one aspect of the group’s work, but they’re also involved in raising money for local charities including the Hosea House and Welcome House of

Northern Kentucky.

The chapter also has an annual supply drive, collecting hats, mittens, coats, gloves and school supplies that are given to resource centers in local schools to help the needy in the winter months, she said.

Many of the chapter’s retired members are also involved in working with children through community groups and volunteering in their spare time.

“Once a teacher, always a teacher, I guess,” Roberts said.

“You just never lose that joy of being a mentor.”

Roberts said she’s been a member of the chapter for seven years, and she wants the group to raise more money for students seeking to become teachers and she’s hoping people will show up for the Oct. 23 walk.

“We’re inviting the public to show up on that day, to walk with us, and to be willing to give a donation, no gift is too small or too great,” she said.

New website showcases Highland students’ art

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

PROVIDED

A new website developed by Highlands Middle School’s art teacher is getting students’ artwork off the refrigerator and into a place where everyone can see it.

Teacher Collin Shadwell, who is in his first year teaching at the middle school, spent hours during the summer designing the new site, which is meant as a forum for showcasing artwork made by students at the middle and high schools.

“The new high school art teacher Andy Eckerle and I kind of wanted to shake things up a bit and give students a chance to really show off what they can do,” Shadwell said.

The site, which had hundreds of visitors in its first week up, features samples of various projects from both schools, including

painting, drawing, sculpting and photography.

The site also includes “featured artists,” which are students who are doing particularly well, Shadwell said.

“The students are really excited about it, especially knowing they have a chance to be a featured artist,” Shadwell said.

With their work being online, students can share what they’re doing with family members and friends anywhere in the world instead of just taking it home for their parents to see, Shadwell said.

Shadwell and Eckerle are constantly updating the site with new artwork.

The site also features important information from the art classes, links to useful art websites and information about both of the teachers, as well as some of their artwork. To see the site, visit www.highlands-art.com.

School prepares for two-day Hullabaloo

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

The Johnson Elementary School family is yet again gearing up for its annual Hullabaloo fundraising event Friday, Oct. 22 and Saturday, Oct. 23.

The event, which serves as the school’s biggest fundraiser of the year, spans over two days and includes everything from auctions and food to family fun and entertainment.

New this year from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday, Johnson is featuring its own version of the gameshow “Minute to Win it,” where families can participate in games for one minute and be

entered to win cash prizes.

Dinner and other games will also be offered at the Friday night event.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, families can attend the Hullabaloo festival at the school, featuring food, games and bounce houses.

Both days of the event will include a silent auction, featuring autographed Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Red jerseys, a private tour of Paul Brown Stadium, jewelry, cell phone, landscaping packages, gift certificates and more.

All proceeds from both days go back to the school to provide programs for students.

“Hullabaloo is Johnson’s major fundraiser and the money we raise is used to for items that are not included in the overall school budget,” said Principal Jon Stratton. “Last year, proceed from Hullabaloo secured a new mutlimedia system for our library, paid for a new sound system in the gymnaisium and covered the cost to renovate the trophy case in the lobby.”

The funds from the event also fund every enrichment program at the school, from Art in Motion to Red Ribbon Week, Stratton said.

With the money raised this year, Stratton said he hopes to purchase new math and reading software.

The grant will allow the university to maintain existing services as well as provide new ones. Since the program began in 1970, Student Support Services has assisted students in developing personal, career and academic competencies to ensure their persistence, academic success and graduation. Program strategies include holistic academic advising, identification of

dependable strengths, systematic career exploration, financial aid and economic literacy training, building networks of support, academic skill development, SMART goal development and preparation for graduate school and life after college.

“The competition was tough,” said Joyce Couch, associate director of NKU Student Support Services.

Holtkamp runs for team wins this year

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Zach Holtkamp, the top runner for the Bishop Brossart Mustangs, has been stampeding through local cross country competition this fall.

His main concern, however, has been helping his team win.

That’s why the Brossart senior wasn’t in much of a mood to celebrate after winning the individual title at the Diocese of Covington meet Oct. 5 at Devou Park.

The team finished second to St. Henry, the team’s main local Class 1A rival, by 32 points, as St. Henry scored 32 to 64 for Brossart.

“Our team’s going to get

better,” Holtkamp said. “We didn’t look too good today, but we’re going to get better. We’re training hard. I’d rather the team win any day than me.”

Brossart will get another crack at the Crusaders Saturday, Oct. 16, during the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference meet at Scott.

Holtkamp ran the Devou Park course, possibly the area’s hilliest including a steep climb to the finishing chute at the end, in 16:45. It was his third win of the year. He also has a third place in the St. Xavier Invitational and a personal best of 16:11 this year.

“I’m feeling good about my race,” he said. “I’ve been putting in miles, training hard,

doing the right things. This is one of the hardest courses I’ve been to. It’s not a smooth course, there are a lot of holes and rough terrain.”

Andy Wolfer was seventh for Brossart, Jack Foster 11th, Michael Caldwell 21st and Brian Neltner 25th.

In the girls’ race, Olivia Nienaber led the way for the Mustangs in sixth place. Olivia Johnston was 15th, Shelly Neiser 30th, Gretchen Trumbo 36th and Natalie Campbell 39th.

Newport Central Catholic was fourth in the boys’ race, led by Connor Bartels in eighth place. Alex Schalk led the NCC girls’ team in 28th place.

Jared Lorenzen played a year of indoor football in Lexington after his NFL career ended.

Now, the record-setting former Highlands quarterback has helped bring arena football to Northern Kentucky.

Lorenzen will be the general manager of the Northern Kentucky River Monsters, one of six franchises in the new Ultimate Indoor Football League. The team will start play in February or March 2011 at the Bank of Kentucky Center.

“I’m very excited about this,” he said. “I want to get going. I’d put on the pads right now if I could.”

The UIFL, based in Canton, Ohio, will have a team there as well as Johnstown, Pa., Huntington, W.V. and Pikeville, Ky. A sixth team is to be announced.

Lorenzen, the standout quarterback for Highlands High School and the University of Kentucky, was on the New York Giants’ Super Bowl champions three years ago. Currently the quarterbacks coach at Highlands, he directed the offensive

arena football experience.

As GM, his main priority will be advertising and marketing the team locally.

The Cincinnati Commandos of the Continental Indoor Football League recently won the championship in their first year of existence, but several other arena football teams have come and gone from the Greater Cincinnati area.

“Those other teams had good players but not a good business plan behind them,” Lorenzen said. “We feel we have that. We plan on being here for a very long time.”

Haines said the UIFL plans on doing things that other leagues have not done well.

“We’re spending the money up front to launch it properly,” Haines said. “Our league fees are low; it’s owner-friendly. The combination of things will help these teams be here for the

effort to bring a team here.

“We like this market and we had interest from ownership,” said Andrew Haines, cofounder of the UIFL. “We started looking at the facilities here and by far this is the nicest arena in this area. It’s the nicest arena in our league.”

Lorenzen and brothers Stan and Ray Jackson will head the front office. Ray, a former University of Cincinnati standout, has many years of arena football experience.

The league will have a combine in Canton later this fall.

“We’re going after it, going as hard as we can,” Lorenzen said. “We’ll get the sponsorships going, then worry about the team in a month or so. We can evaluate talent and get the coaches in, and we’ll be ready to go.”

Arena football is played on a surface less than half the size of an outdoor game, and play will be 8-on-8 vs.

11-on-11 in outdoor football.

“It’s quicker,” Lorenzen said. “In the NFL, you don’t realize how quick holes open and close.”

Lorenzen said the team will look for coaches with

long haul.”

The River Monsters will play seven home games at the BOKC. The season ends in June, and tickets will start at $7. For more information, visit www.theuifl.com o r www.nkyrivermonsters.co m.

Keep Dan McGinley – he’s a ‘proven leader’ Our fine city of Alexandria has been on a fast track for some 20 plus years. We are no longer a rural cousin.

I have lived in or on the outskirts of this city for 45 yrs and have paid close attention to our growth and how it has been managed. There have been many improvements that have added to the quality of this city.

Not long ago we were a town of cisterns and septic tanks, and side roads in need of attention.

Now infrastructure is first class and in the last 12 years, with over $5,000,000 spent on street repair and reconstruction, our roads are great.

Our police department is the best trained and best equipped in Northern Kentucky.

We have a new city building which has been remoldeled to fit city needs. This is now a more than adequate facility which is worth $1,900,000.

This is approximately $675,000 more than our investment and $700,000 less than replacement cost. The former city building was sold to the county for $264,000.

Forward planning by purchase of this building has proven to be a very smart move as the city is positioned for the future and can better serve it’s residents, plus we end up with built in equity.

We have a new public works facility built at a cost of $300,000 with no borrowed money.

Significant investment upgrading information systems, communications and public works equipment for police maintainence and administration.

Most recently completed the Veiwpoint sewer, water main and street project for $3,100,000.

Robert Grants are a Feinauer result of co-operaCommunity tion with county, state and federal Recorder officials and the guest persistence necescolumnist sary in pursuing these funds.

Now let’s take into account that all of the above has been accomplished without the added expense of a full time city manager.

This because our incumbent mayor of the last 12 years, Dan McGinley, functions in lieu of a separate city manager saving the city that person’s salary of some $80,000-plus. Dan McGinley is at the city building every day.

Almost unheard of these days is that with all of our growth, improvements and expenses, we have grown from a cash reserve of $174,000 ten years ago to presently over $1,000,000.

Quite a feat. progress and accomplishment never just happen. Good, experienced leadership make it happen.

Dan McGinley is that proven leader. An effectively run city with a balanced budget, controlled growth keeping our rural appeal.

What more can we ask for? Let the record speak for itself. Keep Dan McGinley as mayor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stoeber for Cold Spring Mayor

Mark Stoeber is currently serving his second term as Cold Spring Mayor. He was a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to two consecutive terms on City Council.

He has exceptional professional credentials/experience. Mark is a CPA and has been an HR director for an international corporation for the past six years.

From the beginning, he presented a strategic plan for managing the City. This included a 13-year projection of revenues/expenditures and a 30-year street repair plan.

The revenue projection assists systematic progress of steady growth/development.

The 30-year street repair plan helps maintain continuing property values. City auditors have commented on the city’s exceptionally strong financial foundation in comparison to other cities.

Patriotic pride/support for our veterans is proclaimed with the veterans’ memorial on the front lawn of the City building.

As a resident and former Cold Spring city councilman, I endorse Mark Stoeber for Cold Spring mayor.

Steve Franzen for Co. Attorney

The makings of a good county attorney are measured by their practice of local government law, their ability to create new ideas, and a servant-minded attitude.

Steve Franzen has all of the attributes that our county needs in an attorney. In addition, Steve wants to introduce taxpayer savings initia-

tives like self-insurance and defending his own cases versus farming them out. You can count on Steve Franzen to be our watch dog in county government and provide due diligence on all matters that affect every citizen and every business.

Right now we are stuck with an appointment and I say it is time to put an attorney in place that is chosen by the people, not politicians.

Vote for Steve Franzen on Nov. 2.

Daley takes cheap shot

In regard to (a) Sept. 30, 2010 article about the upcoming election between Jim Daley and Steve Franzen for Campbell County attorney, I want to comment on Mr. Daley’s quote that “I’ve worked hard to protect seniors and children, and he’s chosen to represent criminals and doing criminal work as opposed to representing the people.”

I was the long-time administrator of Campbell County Public Defenders Inc., where Mr. Franzen had the bulk of his criminal defense experience. The lawyers who were employed by the corporation to represent indigent defendants were paid a pittance per month for the time they spent in carrying out their duties. One of the chief functions of the county attorney is to decide which cases should be prosecuted.

Several members of Mr. Daley’s assistant county attorneys have done criminal defense work in the past, and his comment about Mr. Franzen is simply a cheap shot.

Keep James Daley

When our former County Attorney, Justin Verst, retired effective 1/1/2009, Republican Judge Executive Steve Pendery took a lot of flack from his own party for appointing Democrat Jim Daley to the Office of Campbell County attorney. However, in my mind, it is very refreshing to see someone put partisan politics aside and appoint the person he feels is most qualified for the job. The duties as county prosecutor and legal advisor to the Fiscal Court are extremely important and from everything I have seen and heard, Jim Daley has been doing an excellent job. He is very conservative, pro life, ethical, honest and hard working.

Please join us in voting to keep Jim Daley as our Campbell County attorney.

Bill & Rita Burkart Ft. Thomas David & Jenny Turner Fort Thomas Jamie & Barb Smith Ft. Thomas

James Daley for Co. Attorney

Having both been Campbell County Judges for more than 20 years, and having worked with the county attorney’s office for all of those years, we feel like we have a good handle on what it takes to be a good county attorney. We have both known current county attorney Jim Daley since the time he was a Kentucky state trooper through his time as executive director of the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force, commander of the Kentucky State Police Legal Office, Chief Deputy and legal officer for the Campbell County Jail, Assistant Campbell County Attorney and now county attorney.

We know Jim Daley to be a very conservative, honest, hard working, dedicated and non partisan public servant. We know Jim to be a straight shooter who calls them as he sees them and that is what is needed in a County Attorney.

Please join us in voting for Jim Daley for Campbell County Attorney.

Wilder, a sanctuary next door I am Michael Dinn, a proud resident of Wilder. It’s only been 14 years since Frances and I moved to Wilder, some here would say that we are ‘still new.’ We have moved here twice, once to bring our newborn children home to a fine Fischer home and again when we could develop a small custom neighborhood. Living in Wilder has become so meaningful that, like many, I have answered the call to serve our City and am a current member of our City Council.

Wilder is a crossroads of so much that defines Northern Kentucky. We come from a long heritage of farming and steel, admittedly faded American industries, but it was hard work and family that created this City. We are adjacent to Downtown Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University, major metro highways, the Licking River and quiet wooded lanes. We are home to students and seniors, workers and managers, start ups and major businesses. We honor our Veterans. We celebrate bluegrass music.

What hasn’t faded over the years is our sanctuary of comfortable living and thoughtful leadership. I believe these qualities go hand in hand. To Wilder’s most recent success amid

changing times I must credit our Mayor Stanley Turner.

Mayor Turner embodies the warmth and integrity of Wilder with personal example and a strong, quiet leadership. His wonderful wife Norma is our soul and our smile.

Together, they represent all of the reasons that Wilder was recently ranked seventh in the Best Places to Live in greater Cincinnati. We have today the finest police, fire and safety services for a small City, a balanced budget with reserves, a strong senior citizen base and an eye for growth. I have worked with Mayor Turner for the last eight years and have found his approach to City governance to be open, caring and always in our best interests. Not to say it has always been easy. Years ago when the our national downturn began, Mayor Turner spoke to me personally on the hard decisions that lay ahead, paused and then said ‘ … with your help, the decisions ahead are not really hard, just painful.’ On his watch, the City of Wilder has maintained our fine quality of life without raising property taxes for seven years or dismantling our budget.

Voting information for local residents With the very important elections for many offices coming up Nov. 2, 2010, it may be helpful to review some of the laws concerning voting which have been passed over the years.

Voters will need some type of identification with them in order to vote. Under Kentucky law, poll workers must turn away prospective voters who do not have identification, unless the poll workers are personally acquainted with the voter.

Acceptable identification includes any one of the following: • A drivers’ license; • An identification card with a photo and signature; • An original Social Security card; or • A credit card.

If a voter has forgotten his or her identification, he or she may leave and return with proper identification.

Other laws and regulations to keep in mind include the following: • Voters must have been registered to vote by Oct. 5th to vote in the Nov. 2nd election.

• Once voters sign the precinct roster book, they must wait in line to vote or vote immediately. If the lines are long, voters cannot sign in and then come back later to vote.

Bellevue business is a ‘complete design center’ From paint selection to home decor accessories, the specialists at Lasting Impressions in Bellevue offer a one-stop shop for decorating.

Courage is doing the good we’re afraid to do Courage doesn’t always involve brawn and muscles.

It does involve a strength of character and integrity.

It causes us to reach for rightness even in the face of fear, disapproval or overwhelming odds.

The word courage arose from the Latin word cor, meaning heart. To have courage, “you gotta have heart,” as an old song lyricized.

Courage is the virtue crucified in the middle between two thieves – cowardice and rashness.

Cowardice is running away from all dangers and hard times; rashness is facing danger in a careless way that masks self-centered motives.

In the past, courage was chiefly associated with men.

It was seen in the risks they took during battle to defeat an enemy, help a fellow soldier, or defend innocent people.

Now, with a better understanding of courage, we don’t hesitate to attribute it in various bold and subtle ways to women as well.

To be courageous involves three general characteristics: (a) a willful and intentionally chosen act despite the presence of fear;

(b) it involves substantial danger, difficult, or risk to the person choosing Father Lou it; (c) it is Guntzelman primarily Perspectives motivated to bring about a noble good or morally worthy purpose.

How many kinds of courage are there? Three types are acknowledged.

Physical courage. It is overcoming the fear of physical harm or possible death for the sake of a noble goal such as defense of country or our family, or to save someone from danger or criminal threats.

For example, we hear in the news of a man or woman risking their life to pull someone from a burning car.

Recently a captain posthumously received the Medal of Honor for risking his life while placing his wounded men in a helicopter.

Moral courage. This is overcoming the fear of social ostracism or rejection in order to maintain ethical integrity.

For example, the history of civil rights recalls the day Rosa Parks, a southern black woman, took a seat in the front of a bus when a prejudiced society said “her place” was in the back.

This type of moral courage can occur in many different situations. It happens whenever an individual stands up to someone with power over him or her, and does so for the greater good. The result is the risk of social disapproval from others.

Psychological, or vital, courage. Within the past 150 years a third kind of courage has been recognized by psychologists.

It means overcoming the fear of losing one’s psyche (the feeling that one is disintegrating within – colloquially, losing it.)

It can occur as we struggle against the fear of disintegration or death while trying to achieve greater wholeness and mental health.

It is the kind of courage demonstrated by an addict overcoming his or her addiction; or a person abused as a child working to overcome deep psychological fears to become a loving and productive adult.

Why focus on courage

today?

In “The Psychology of Courage,” edited by Pury & Lopez, it’s stated: “It is increasingly difficult to face an unpredictable future without being able to call on courage if needed.”

Over the years I have been honored to meet many people of courage.

They weren’t publicly known because for us ordinary people our most noteworthy victories occur within, out of view of camera, newsprint and applause.

At times we may be the only one who knows that they exist.

To all these wonderful and victorious people I apply the following anonymous quotation: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”

There’s a chicken in every pot pie recipe

I know whenever a request comes in for anything about Shillito’s recipes served in their former restaurants, it spawns a huge flood of “can you find this recipe, or that?”

So I wasn’t surprised when Irene Johnson’s original request for Shilllito’s chicken pot pie opened the floodgates.

Shillito’s individual chicken pot pie

I was so happy to get this recipe from Amelia reader Mary Frank.

“I’m glad I could help,” she said. Me, too!

This recipe comes from one printed in the Enquirer a

while back by Jeff Pipes, former Lazarus Interior Design Studio manager.

1

⁄8 cup frozen peas 3 ⁄4 cup frozen sliced carrots 6 cooked pearl onions 1 ⁄2 cup (3 oz.) diced cooked chicken – 1⁄2-inch to 3 ⁄4-inch chunks 3 ⁄4 cup sauce 1 to 2 oz. pastry, to cover pie Cook frozen peas and carrots and drain. Put chicken into small casserole and add veggies. Pour sauce over and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.

Serve with pastry top over casserole dish. (I’m assuming you bake the pas-

try separate). Makes one pie.

Pot pie sauce:

If you remember the sandwich as being a bit spicy, go ahead and add some chili powder.

Melt margarine, add flour and mix well. Add stock, cook and stir until creamy.

Add pepper.

21⁄2 pounds ground beef 1 ⁄2 cup chopped onion 1 ⁄4 cup chopped bell pepper Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or more to taste 13⁄4 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons sugar or more to taste

3 tablespoons margarine 11⁄2 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken stock/broth Dash pepper

Shillito’s Café sandwich (Seven Hills sloppy Joes)

I have researched this recipe for years and found that the original spice mixture used in the sandwich was a commercial one and, alas, can’t be found anymore.

Brown meat and add everything else. Simmer about 30 minutes or more.

Serve with a dollop of Cheese Whiz on top.

Fifteen-minute peanut butter fudge

For the lady in Milford who wanted a peanut butter fudge “without marshmallow cream.” She told me her mom had a recipe for just such a fudge, but she can’t find it.

This is from “Cook’s Illustrated,” my food “bible.”

Now, my own recipe like this is almost identical, except it doesn’t have baking soda and I just melt everything in a pan and pour it into a sprayed 8-by-8 square pan.

(It’s an easy and good one – my grandson, Will, made the chocolate version of the fudge and won a blue

ribbon at the fair).

I’m thinking, though, that the baking soda is smart addition, as that is what probably makes the texture of this fudge so good.

Makes about 21⁄2 pounds.

This fudge will change texture and become drier the longer it is stored.

Store the fudge, tightly wrapped in plastic, in a cool place for up to two weeks or in the freezer for three months. If frozen, allow ample time to let it reach room temperature before cutting.

18 oz. peanut butter chips 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄8 teaspoon salt 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cut 12-inch length extrawide heavy-duty aluminum foil; fold edges back to form 71⁄2-inch width.

With folded sides facing down, fit foil securely into bottom and up sides of 8inch-square baking pan, allowing excess to overhang pan sides.

Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Toss peanut butter chips, baking soda, and salt in medium heatproof bowl until baking soda is evenly dis-

tributed.

Stir in sweetened Rita condensed Heikenfeld milk and vanilla.

Rita’s kitchen S e t bowl over 4-quart saucepan containing 2 cups simmering water. Stir with rubber spatula until chips are almost fully melted and few small pieces remain, two to four minutes.

Remove bowl from heat and continue to stir until chips are fully melted and mixture is smooth, about two minutes.

Transfer fudge to prepared pan and spread in even layer with spatula.

Refrigerate until set, about two hours. Remove fudge from pan using foil and cut into squares.

Double batch: Line 13 by 9-inch pan with two sheets of foil placed perpendicular to each other and double amounts of all ingredients. In Step 2, use large heatproof bowl and Dutch oven containing 4 cups simmering water.

Some of the eclectic musical selections include “Battle of New Orleans,” “Over There” Victory at Sea highlights and “Ballad of the Green Berets., The KSO presents the National Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. Feb. 19, 2011, at Florence Baptist Church at Mt.

St. Vincent de Paul’s ninth annual fan drive a success The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in cooperation with WCPO-TV Channel 9, Coney Island, Huntington Bank, Cincinnati Firefighters Union Local 48 and Papa John’s Pizza, recently concluded its ninth annual fan drive collecting 697 fans and 136 air conditioners – all of which have been

CE-0000425965

distributed to local neighbors in need.

During the “Dog Days” of August, Papa John’s Pizza donated more than 30 air conditioners to bring relief to all of the families and elderly residents who were still on the waiting list, which allowed for a break from the heat.

The goal for this year’s fan drive was to collect 500 fans and 100 air conditioners to help provide proper cooling and ventilation to those in need this summer, many of whom are the elderly, the sick and children with asthma and other chronic problems.

This year, as a result of

the prolonged economic slump, many families were seeking help for the first time.

“Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners and local individuals, we have exceeded our goal and helped more than 800 families this summer,” said Liz Carter, executive director of

St. Vincent de Paul. She continued, “A fan or air conditioner is often the difference between living comfortably or an emergency room visit.”

Thift stores are located at 712 Sixth Ave., in Dayton and at 906 Monmouth St., in Newport. Both location accept donations until 5

p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Dayton location is closed Thursdays.

These basic financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Silver Grove, Kentucky’s management. Our responsibility is to express our opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Silver Grove, Kentucky as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of the proprietary fund type for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Robin Holtz (left) and her mother Jan Calme, who teach together at St. Thomas School in Fort Thomas, pose for a picture in front of the school.

Mother, daughter teachers work well together at St. Thomas For the past 10 years, teachers Jan Calme and her daughter Robin Holtz have been teaching together at St. Thomas School.

After growing up with her mother teaching, Holtz always wanted to be a teacher too, but never expected to be teaching alongside her.

“I never thought there was a chance I’d get to work with my mom, but it’s been a wonderful experience,” Robin said.

Jan said the two maintain a very professional relationship at work and work well together as teachers.

They often rely on each other for advice when it comes to working with the children, Jan said.

“There are plenty of times that I’ll go to her and

ask what she thinks about a situation,” Jan said. “She is a professional, so she is always willing to help me with anything.”

Principal Sharon Bresler said the two have always worked well together.

“Mrs. Holtz is there to help her mom with the use of the smart board and computer lab and Mrs. Calme is there to listen and give ideas and suggestions of what has worked in the past,” Bresler said.

After 32 years at St. Thomas, Jan will be retiring at the end of this school year.

“When Mrs. Calme leaves it will be like the ending of an era,” Bresler said.

“I am proud to have taught with her, and I know there are many students out there who have learned from her.”

Fall tour blends colorful past and present

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

As the leaves of trees turn brilliant reds and yellows each year, Camp Springs residents and businesses throw out a welcome mat and open their doors for a free selfguided driving tour through a rural landscape.

The fourth annual Camp Springs Herbst Tour (herbst is German for autumn), of 19 locations including handmade stone houses, wineries and working farms in an area settled primarily by German immigrants, is from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17.

New to the tour this year is the Kremer House/Camp Springs Tavern at 7009 Stonehouse Road. The building was constructed around 1864, out of the same materials and around the same time as St. Joseph Church just up the hill, said Damien Pelle, owner tavern for the past 23 years.

People used to have to park their cars by the tavern when they were going to church, and he has photos inside showing Ford Model A and other early car models lined up around the tavern.

“They didn’t have a road going to a church, they used to park at the bottom of the hill here,” he said.

Pelle said his grandfather owned the building at onetime when there was a dance hall there.

The attached tavern portion of the building was also a general store in the 19th century, but there’s always been a bar in the building, Pelle said.

One of the mainstays on

Jeremy Case, 13, of Melbourne, carries his pumpkin patch pick as Dylan Johnson, 10, left, of Alexandria follows him across a field at Neltner’s Farm in Camp Springs Saturday, Oct. 9. Neltner’s Farm will be one of the 19 stops on the fourth annual Camp Springs Herbst Tour from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17. the Herbst Tour is Neltner’s Farm, 6922 Four Mile Road.

The farm has been familyowned since 1892 and features a pick-your-own pumpkin field, corn maize, cider, vegetable stand, and horsedrawn wagon rides for visitors.

Keith Neltner said his older brother Kevin runs the day-to-day operations of the farm, and weather permitting, Kevin will be showing people how fields used to be cultivated before modern tractors, using hand plows and horses.

“It gives everybody a chance to see how a farm was run 50 to 60 years ago, and people just get to see what we grew up with,” Keith said.

tour this year is the Northern Kentucky Saddle Club, 7087 Four Mile Road, which features a clubhouse bar and outdoor arena. Lee and Joan Schneider founded the club for horse riders and owners in 1947. Each summer, 4-H horse riding shows are held in an outdoor fenced-in arena on the club’s grounds.

There will be crafts, antiques and organic produce at another new location, the Gubser Schuchter House, at 7251 Four Mile Road. The house has an original log structure built before 1850, and a stone addition with a detached summer kitchen and a restored stone smokehouse with a beehive cellar.

Little Rock Farm, 2802 Ten Mile Road, will have a display of old tools used for butchering hogs, a discussion of how a smokehouse was used, and demonstration of an antique rock crusher.

There are two wineries with tasting rooms on the tour; StoneBrook Winery, 6570 Vineyard Lane, and the Camp Springs Vineyard at 6685 Four Mile Road.

Catalpa Ridge Farm, 7999 Stonehouse Road, has new additions to their miniature Hereford cattle herd, including a calf born early this year, and another calf born Sept. 4.

Misty Ridge Farm, 5210 Owl Creek, is a working horse farm specializing riding lessons, boarding and training.

Sunday, Oct. 17. where gifts and horse equipment can be purchased.

Another horse stop on the tour is Saddle Lake Equestrian Center, 2369 Nelson Road, another riding and training center where there will be demonstrations on horses and of proper horse care.

There are restrooms available at some tour stops. A four-page tour map and description of each stop is available in advance at the Campbell County Public Library’s Cold Spring Branch or at stops on the tour.

Love between humans is not a spectator sport “For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparatory,” writes Czech poet Rainer Maria Rilke.

I totally agree with him. To be human we must love. We’re crazy if we think we can watch it on a computer, TV or movie screen. Nor can we “make love” by the juxtaposition of bodies Something so spiritually and psychologically essential to a human can only be lived. That’s why I choose to write about it often.

Love is like a diamond on a girl’s engagement ring. Everywhich-way we turn it offers a different and beautiful facet of itself.

Let’s consider four of many possible aspects of love.

1.) Lovers who wish to keep growing in love must “be there for the other.” Of course this doesn’t mean only physical closeness, though that’s important.

The most important kind of closeness is a psychological availability to each other. This means a consistent effort to be with rather than just next to each other.

Dr. Eugene Kennedy notes, “Married people learn, as good friends do, that they get better at being there as the years go by, especially if they weather trials of illness, separation or misunderstanding together.”

2.) Love demands that lovers work continually to see more clearly each other’s inner world.

This doesn’t mean curiosity. It means one heart learns to see into the other’s heart. We call it understanding or sensitivity.

that’s a sign I am only loving myself – not her or him. One of the miracles of love lies in the fact that two separate human beings can draw very close to the other and yet remain separate.

Once again, Rilke emphasizes this healthy uniqueness: “I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other.”

To do so, our defenses must crack. Our preconceived ideas of what the one we love must be or do or feel must yield to reality and change. Such sensitivity results in a deeper union without the destruction of the other’s personal identity.

When people work at listening and understanding each other, positive results occur. Closeness increases and many misunderstandings can be avoided.

Attempts at sensitivity and understanding, however, are extremely difficult for a person who is self-centered and lost in their own world. The growth of love then becomes unlikely.

4.) Lovers truly committed to each other must genuinely show and communicate it. Presumed affection doesn’t “cut it.”

Relationships can’t get by on harshness, empty promises or deferred signs of love. Human beings need to give and receive these signs all the time.

That’s why people send cards and notes and never tire of hearing the words, “I love you.”

3.) Lovers, no matter how close they become, must respect and give each other the freedom to be themselves.

If I expect another to become my clone and be just as I expect,

Love is one thing that does not take care of itself. It craves to Father Lou express itself Guntzelman and receive similar expressions.

Perspectives When it comes to love, passivity is deadly.

Love can stand a lot but it cannot bear to undergo the quiet death of inattention or indifference. The lyrics to an old song will always be true of passivity: “You don’t bring me flowers, you don’t sing me love songs; you never talk to me anymore when you come through the door at the end of a day.”

Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Contact him at columns@community press.com or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Remember 10 percent rule when hiring contractors In recent weeks I’ve received letters from two homeowners who have been ripped off by home repair contractors who took their money but performed little or no work.

There are ways to protect yourself, even if you don’t live in the city of Cincinnati, which actually has a law to try to protect residents.

The Cincinnati Home Remodeling Ordinance was enacted in the early 1980s and, while I was among those who helped write it, I’m sorry to say a good many people don’t realize it’s still on the books.

The ordinance limits the down payment a contractor can charge to just 10 percent of the total cost, except for special order items.

It would have helped Carolyn Wilson when she

hired a man to fix up her Winton H i l l s house. “ H e was to p o w e r Howard Ain wash the Hey Howard! deck and stain the deck, power wash the entire house and paint, and recement the area in front of the garage door,” she says.

Wilson had a long list of items and the man she hired gave her a written contract.

“It was for close to $12,000 and I didn’t know you only had to give 10 percent down.”

He asked for $3,766, which is more than the required 10 percent.

Although Wilson paid

that money upfront, she says the man only showed up a few times to do any work.

“The contract has no start date but it says he will finish the work on or before Aug. 31,” Wilson says.

After that date she informed him she’d had enough and wanted her money back.

The man offered to return $1,742, claiming he had prepared the house to be painted. Wilson declined that offer and sued to recover it all.

I told her file a complaint with the Cincinnati police because he broke the 10 percent ordinance. She’s now done that.

Michelle Gibson says she, too, wishes she had known about that ordinance when she hired a man to put in a wheelchair ramp at

her Northside home. Gibson has multiple sclerosis and now needs a wheelchair to get around. She paid a contractor half the cost upfront, more than $3,300, but says the man never returned to do the job.

Gibson has filed a criminal theft charge but police haven’t been able to find the contractor.

Her loss would have

been considerably less had she only paid 10 percent upfront.

Another warning sign – he failed to take out a building permit, claiming it’s not needed when it is required.

The Cincinnati ordinance makes all contractors responsible for taking out the necessary permits.

In neither case did the homeowner get several

Nancy and I attended the ninth annual Pink RibRita bon Lunat Heikenfeld cheon D u k e Rita’s kitchen E n e r g y Center.

Talk about support for breast cancer research (especially during October, which is breast cancer awareness month).

There were over 1,500 in attendance, many of whom were breast cancer survivors like Nancy.

It was uplifting to learn how much research is being done, and how ProScan Imaging is providing free mammograms and other services to women who may not be able to afford

them.

The Food Network’s Cat Cora was the celebrity chef, presenting a healthy cooking demo that also happened to be what we ate at lunch. I’m sharing the recipe for the entrée, which I think you’ll like.

1 quart chicken or vegetable broth, organic if you can get it 2 cups frozen cheese tortellini (I tested the recipe with Kroger brand) Garlic powder – a couple shakes or 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed

Cat Cora’s beet salad

As much fresh spinach as you like (use more than you think you’ll need – it shrinks so much) Parmesan or Romano cheese Bring chicken broth and garlic to a boil.

Add tortellini, lower to a gentle boil and cook until tortellini floats to the top, about five minutes or so.

Take off heat and stir in spinach. Serve with a generous amount of cheese.

This recipe for roasted beet salad was one of Cat Cora’s served at the luncheon. It it made with grilled chicken, vinaigrette and goat cheese crostini.

3 cups lightly packed fresh arugula 11⁄2 cups roasted beet chunks 2 paper-thin red onion slices 1 ⁄2 rotisserie chicken, precooked or chicken breast, grilled and cut into 1⁄2” strips 8 thin baguette slices, lightly toasted 4 tablespoons soft, fresh goat cheese Divide arugula between four salad plates. Divide beets evenly between the plates.

Fan out four to five strips of chicken per plate on top of salad and add some red onion, pulling apart the half rings and scattering the onion over the greens.

Drizzle dressing over salads and around the plate.

Spread about 1⁄2 tablespoon goat cheese on each of the toasts.

Nancy Mauch, left, with Rita Heikenfeld.

Garnish each late with two goat cheese toasts and serve with favorite dressing or Cat’s tangerine vinaigrette. (See my online column at www.communitypress.com.)

Tips from Rita’s kitchen: Any mixed salad green can be used in place of the arugula.

Tortellini soup with spinach and Parmesan

I am developing recipes for breast cancer victims – I think we’ve all been touched with this disease in some fashion, and what I have learned is that the appetite is the first to go.

But one still needs to be nourished, and soups, like this one, are easy to swallow and very nutritious.

Once the broth boils, it’s done in about five minutes.

This is a delicious soup!

Rita’s braciole (Stuffed flank steak with marinara)

There are lots of recipes for bracciole, most of which use sliced meat and cheeses for the stuffing.

This is a twist on that old favorite. Don’t be intimidated by the word “butterfly” in the directions. This is not hard and a favorite with my family.

1 flank steak 1 ⁄2 pound Italian or favorite sausage, uncooked 8 oz. Ricotta cheese, drained a bit 1 large jar favorite pasta/marinara sauce

Events and more | Metromix.com

CE-0000426701

1

⁄2 pound boiled pasta Parmesan cheese, shredded Butterfly flank steak: have grain running vertically. Cut slowly through the center, holding your knife flat against the steak almost all the way through to the other side. The steak should open like a book. You’ll have a piece of meat that is half the original thickness but twice the width. Don’t worry if there are a few tears. If you want, pound out the center for even thickness.

Spread sausage and ricotta over steak. Roll up meat tightly (if you want you can tie it in several places – this will keep the shape nicely) and place in sprayed roasting pan, seam side down.

Cover with sauce.

Bake in preheated 350degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Thermometer will read 155 to 160 degrees. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes. Slice and serve on pasta shells, pouring sauce on top of meat. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Serves four to six.

Local actors to perform in ‘How I Became a Pirate’ at Taft Theatre Amy Schwegmann of Highland Heights is featured as “Swill.”

This marks Schwegmann’s third season working with The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati and was last seen in TCTC’s production of “Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” (School Marm).

This new musical is based on the best-selling children’s book by Melinda Long with illustrations by David Shannon.

The show is being directed by Jack Louiso. “How I Became a Pirate” is

ideal for family with children ages 4 and older.

It will be presented for the public at the Taft Theatre at 317 East Fifth Street,in Cincinnati, Friday, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 16 at 2 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Author Melinda Long is tentatively schedule to be at the theater to sign books (purchased in the lobby) before the Friday, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. performance only.

Fort Thomas woman helps others face loss When someone is dying, it’s hard to know how to be, what to feel and what to say. Andrea Kay of Fort Thomas found her way with “Flutterby.”

“Flutterby” is a series of 17 drawings and narrative that she created when her father was dying of Alzheimer’s last year.

The artwork will be displayed at the Friday, Oct. 22, opening art show at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, along with the premier dramatic presentation of her work.

It began in late 2008, when she was traveling back and forth to Columbus, Ohio to see her father.

“I asked him if I could sketch him

as my dog and I sat across from him in his lift chair,” said Kay. “He nodded and said, ‘Yeah’ and it became our ritual. It was a way for me to give him complete attention. And it pulled me into him in a deep and intense way,” she said.

Kay also kept notes about their conversations and sketched and painted him until two days before his death, Aug. 18, 2009.

“I went back through all my sketches and wrote a ‘snapshot’ of that day or moment. When I put the sketches and words together, I discovered I had created an original work of art,” she said.

When she shared it with others, to

a person, they were deeply moved.

“One person told me I had invented a new way to communicate,” said Kay, who is already getting interest from groups who want to consider her artwork and dramatic presentation as part of a fundraiser.

“I don’t know where this will go,” she said. “I just know it resonates with people. And more and more of us are going through this. Perhaps it will inspire others to find their own way to know what to say and how to be when they face the loss of a loved one.”

Besides her work as an artist, Kay is also an author and consultant. For more about the Carnegie, visit www.thecarnegie.com.

Cold Spring family walks to support Cincinnati Children’s Hospital The Deimling family of Cold Spring is looking forward to participating in the fifth annual Cincinnati Walks for Kids.

The walk, which benefits Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, will take place Saturday, Oct. 16, at Coney Island.

Registration for the walk is from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. with the walk beginning at 10 am. Activities for the children will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Cincinnati Walks for Kids helps Cincinnati Children’s care for sick and injured children in the community.

More than just a fundraising walk, it’s a day full of free activities, including face painting, music, four classic Coney Island rides and

refreshments.

When Nathan Deimling was only 2 years old, he was diagnosed with Chiari malformation, a condition that is caused by a structural defect in the brain that can result in neck pain, balance problems, muscle weakness and other side effects.

At 3 years old, he received decompression surgery that has helped his quality of life. He returns to Cincinnati Children’s every two years for check-ups.

But Nathan isn’t the only one in his family being treated for the condition.

“I noticed a lot of the same symptoms in my niece, Lauren Ervin, said Nathan’s mom, Michelle Snodgrass-Deimling.

“She was diagnosed and hasn’t had the surgery yet.

As long as her quality of life is good, they want to hold off on that for as long as possible,” she said.

To show their appreciation to Cincinnati Children’s, Nathan’s dad, Andy Deimling, Michelle, the Ervin family and their friends started a Cincinnati Walks for Kids team called “Our Chiari Kids.”

The team raises money for the neurosurgery department at Cincinnati Children’s.

“Walking helps us give back to Cincinnati Children’s,” said SnodgrassDeimling. “You hope and you pray that you never need it, but when something goes wrong, you cannot be more thankful that it’s in your backyard.”

Through the years, Nathan has been able to participate more in the fundraising aspect of the team.

Nathan Deimling and Lauren Ervin.

This year, he hopes to be able to fund-raise through his school. He also hopes some of his soccer teammates will join him at the walk.

Each year, the family meets new people who have the same diagnosis.

“A lot of people will come up to us because of our shirts. They’ll say they

know someone with Chiari and ask if they can have a shirt too,” Snodgrass-Deimling said.

As a nonprofit hospital and research center, Cincinnati Children’s relies on events like Cincinnati Walks for Kids to help fund lifesaving research, patient care and education.

is a day full of familyfriendly fun. The day begins with an opening ceremony that honors patients, families and caregivers and gives thanks to the community for its long-standing commitment to Cincinnati Children’s.

Walkers may choose a three-mile or one-mile route. All walkers will receive a finisher’s ribbon and a complimentary lunch.

Throughout the day, participants can enjoy the Kids Carnival, where children can play games, decorate their own pumpkin and have their face painted.

Families can also visit the Remembrance Garden, a tranquil setting to honor and remember loved ones.

“Families often tell us they are walking to support the courageous child in their life or to raise awareness for a childhood disease or hospital program they are passionate about,” said Christina Mihalek, walk coordinator.

“The walk provides a way for people to celebrate their loved ones and support a worthy cause.”

There is no registration fee to participate. Each walker is simply asked to raise at least $25.

Any walker who raises $25 or more will receive a Cincinnati Walks for Kids Tshirt. Additional individual and team fundraising prizes are available to walkers.

Walk participants can choose to donate their gifts to a particular program or division within the hospital or have their gifts used to meet the medical center’s greatest needs.

The walk is open to people of all ages. The route is stroller-, wagon- and wheelchair-friendly. With the exception of service dogs, Coney Island does not allow pets on their property.

Cincinnati Walks for Kids is presented by CincinnatiNorthern Kentucky Honda Dealers. Other lead sponsors include BAE Systems, Coney Island and Walmart.

The combination of bowling, mascots, and a good cause was a winning one for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. The agency’s first Bowl For Kids Sake fund-raising event brought in nearly $20,000, with sponsors like PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Local 12 and 700 WLW generating awareness and interest, leading more than 40 teams to sign up. By the end of the year, the campaign is expected to raise $50,000 thanks to corporate partner Lexis Nexis, which is planning its own bowling event, and a brand new Young Professionals Board, committed to planning yet another event.

Teams had months to raise money and then Big Brothers Big Sisters held three “Thank you” bowling parties. Area mascots from the Reds, Xavier University and Northern Kentucky University faced off in a Mascot Challenge during the final one, at Madison Bowl.

WLW’s Eddie Fingers was the emcee, giving away prizes for everything from most spares thrown to most

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and WLWT News 5 will kick off the ninth annual 5 Cares Coat Drive Monday, Oct. 18, at Gold Star in Hartwell. Coat drive partners are Gold Star Chili, City Dash, Kemba Credit Union, local fire departments and Starr Printing Services Inc. With convenient drop off locations across the Tristate at Gold Star Chili restaurants, Kemba Credit Union branches and local fire stations, it is easy to make a difference.

“For many local families, especially those with young children who have outgrown their coats from last year, there simply isn’t money in the budget this year to purchase new coats, which is why the 5 Cares Coat Drive is so important,” said Liz Carter, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul. “We are hopeful that even in these difficult economic times, our community will again respond to this very basic need.”

SVDP distributes winter coats directly to local families, as well as providing them to other local agencies that work with those in need across the Tri-State.

Participating fire departments serving as drop-off points include Alexandria, Covington, Florence, Hebron, Fort Thomas, Fort Mitchell and Newport.

Jennings leaves N. Ky. chamber Joe Jennings will be leaving the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce after being a part of the organization since June 1988.

For years, Jennings has been the face of the Chamber in Campbell County by providing members and future members information on chamber events, programs and reasons to join.

During his 22 years at the chamber, Jennings has had many different responsibilities.

He has managed the Chamber’s Small Business/Economic Development Department and collected data and demographics on Northern Kentucky.

Jennings served as the staff liaison on numerous committees including Educational Seminars, Biz Nuts ‘N’ Bolts, Executive Dialogue, Existing Business & Industry, Forums, Fund Raising for Economic Development, Mentor Network, Group Health Benefits and the Day Care Task Force.

He served for many years as the chamber’s representative to CLAG (Campbell County Leadership Action Group), an organization focused on promoting business and economic development in Campbell County.

“Joe has been an excel-

His dedication to our organization has been of the highest caliber,” said Janice Cushman, senior vice president, member services.

“Over the past year he has visited every Campbell County member and updated their member profile.

Now he will have a little more time to relax and spend time with his wife Ruth,” she said.

Prior to the chamber, Jennings retired from Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company where he served as coordinator of employee benefits and activities.

“One of the wonderful experiences given to me by the chamber started back in

Signs on state highway rightof-way without permit is illegal The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet would like to remind the public that placing signs on state right of way without a permit is illegal.

Illegal signs proliferate during election campaigns, but the prohibition is not limited to political signs. All signs potentially pose hazards for drivers and for maintenance workers who have to remove and discard illegally placed signs.

“This is a matter of safety, not only for motorists but for our employees and contractors who put their lives at risk every day to maintain our roads,” said Rob Hans, chief district engineer for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in Department of Highways District 6. The district covers Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Owen, Pendleton and Robertson counties.

“Many times, these illegal signs restrict sight distance at busy intersections, which causes safety issues.

Some of the signs can become hazards if they are blown over by the wind, ending up on the highway.

Signs are also often placed in the roadway ‘clear zone’, which is the recovery zone for motorists who may run off the roadway,” Hans said.

Dimensions of the right of way vary. The boundary might be a ditch line on a rural state route, but can extend 50 yards or more from a four-lane highway.

Any questions about right of way boundaries can be answered by personnel in Department of Highways local maintenance facilities.

Removed signs will be kept for two weeks at the state highway garage in each county before being

1991. I was asked to participate in the naturalization proceeding that was held at the Federal Courthouse in Covington,” said Jennings.

“The court invited me back to attend and be a part of this activity every year through 2009. I estimate

that I participated in 16 naturalization programs, I spoke to more than 1,900 new citizens, presented to each of them an American flag and welcomed them to America. They always were grateful to the Court and to the Northern Kentucky Chamber for this tremendous experience,” he said.

“I also want to thank all the staff of the Northern Kentucky Chamber for the privilege of working with a highly talented and helpful group and to all the businesses that I have visited the past several years who were always helpful and so courteous in welcoming me inside their halls,” said Jennings.

“You have helped to give me so many wonderful memories.”

The greatest leaders of our time started somewhere else. A CEO staring out the glass of her high rise corner office, a pro athlete staring into the eye of a viable opponent, a politician staring at a hotly contended race – they each likely arrived at their place in life thanks to a commitment to hard work and a little help.

The same is true for so many of our neighbors, family and friends. Some of us want to be small business leaders. Others long to have happy, healthy families to love and care for. Our community’s youngest students think about the things dreams are made of – growing up to be astronauts, firefighters and artists.

We each aspire to greatness, and sometimes we need a helping hand to reach the next rung on our ladder of destiny. For so many people in Northern Kentucky, United Way is the hand that helps guide people to the good life.

Weight Management for Life V I S IT S TE LI ZA BE TH .C OM O R C AL L ( 8 5 9) 2 12 -G OAL ( 46 25 ) I’ve always struggled with my weight. But when I found myself winded after climbing a flight of stairs, I knew it was time to get serious about it. At first, I didn’t know how to ask for help, but then I found the Weight Management Center at St. Elizabeth. They’re giving me the tools I need to maintain a healthy weight for life. At St. Elizabeth, I worked closely with the supportive staff to determine which weight loss option was best for me. They helped me choose from among options including weight-loss surgery, the NutriMed liquid diet program, as well as individual counseling and Healthy Directions group courses. Now, I’m more confident in the choices I make, and am becoming more aware of how my emotions can affect my eating habits. Not only do I feel better, but I’ve gone from having trouble climbing stairs to playing in the park with my kids. St. Elizabeth’s Weight Management Center and me, Better Together.
