BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Republican Steve Pendery has led Campbell County for 16 years but is facing one of his most formidable challenges yet this fall.

His opponent, County Commissioner Ken Rechtin, has helped guide county government alongside Pendery for the last 11 years but says it’s time to change directions.

Both men are generally wellliked and well-known – though Pendery easily has greater name recognition. Both have lots of elected experience, Pendery as a former Fort Thomas mayor and Rechtin as a former Newport councilman. It’s their approaches to the job of judgeexecutive that separate them; differences that should encourage people to get to know both candidates and go to the polls.

Pendery believes the county is on the right course and that supporting regionalism is the key to Campbell’s continued success. That means working closely and supporting Northern Kentucky University, TriCounty Economic Development

Corporation and Sanitation District No. 1, he’s said.

Rechtin thinks Campbell County is showing signs of decline, playing second fiddle to Boone and Kenton counties’ growth. He thinks the judge-executive (which now makes $105,596 a year, as set by state statute) should be more involved in day-to-day county operations.

Primary results revealed a fissure in Republican confidence in Pendery, who won by less than 10 percent over challenger Kevin Sell. Rechtin has actually raised and spent more money on his campaign since the primary than Pendery, according to the financial reports submitted to the state by Oct. 3, See CAMPBELL, Page A2

Highland Heights candidates have high hopes

By Amy Scalf ascalf@communitypress.com

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Eight candidates seek one of six City Council seats to serve along with an unopposed incumbent mayor.

Mayor Greg Meyers was first elected in 2006 and also served two terms on City Council. He has worked for more than 45 years in sales at Ricoh USA, and has been involved with Boy Scouts of America and Optimist International. Meyers is a lifelong Northern Kentucky resident and graduate of Newport

Catholic High School who has lived in Highland Heights since 1977.

City Council incumbent Deborah Ball is seeking a fourth term. She is a hairstylist who graduated from Campbell County High School. She’d like to see revitalization in Highland Heights, especially on the north end of town.

“It would be really great if we could get more upscale development like the center of town,” she said. “I’d like to see more transparency in our system. I like honesty in government. You

get that with me. You don’t get that with everyone. We’ve done a good job keeping taxes low, but we need to watch our spending and make sure we protect our neighborhoods.”

Incumbent Gary Chinn, 64, is serving his fourth term on City Council. The Newport Catholic High School and Northern Kentucky University graduate has lived in Highland Heights for 30 years. He said his experience and knowledge of the city will be helpful for future plans.

“I’m running for another term to help move the city for-

ward and continue progress the city has had over the past eight years,” he said.

He helped create the code enforcement board, voted to annex Northern Kentucky University into the city, served on the infrastructure, finance and beautification boards, and helped set up a tax increment financing district to help development.

Incumbent Larry Herfurth, 67, is completing his first term on council. He has lived in Highland Heights almost 20 years, and retired from Mazak as a corporate accounts manager. He

to help elementary and middle school students.

Incumbent A.J. Moermond, 35, is hoping for a second term. He’s a graduate of Purdue University and a towing operator and automotive service technician. Moermond said he loves “the city I grew up in” and has “a desire to serve the community.”

“I want to keep Highland Heights a city where people are proud to raise their children and focus on redeveloping the U.S. 27 corridor between Interstate 471 and Fort Thomas into an area we can all be proud of,” he said. “If the citizens think I am doing a good job, then I hope they allow me to continue to serve them.”

Incumbent Jeanne Pettit, 54, has lived in Highland Heights for almost 20 years. Pettit, who is director of first-year programs at Northern Kentucky University, is hoping for a fourth election to City Council. She has bachelor’s and master’s degrees

from Miami University in Ohio.

She said she worked on the comprehensive plan committee and would like to be “involved with implementation of the plan,” and she’d also like to maintain the city’s website and keep it current. Pettit would also like to continue “keeping an eye on the finances and make sure taxpayer dollars are being spent appropriately and in a fiscally responsible way.”

Newcomer David Ramler, 59, has lived in Highland Heights 13 years. He is a collision repair shop manager and licensed insurance adjustor, who has an associate degree in computer science from NKU. He volunteered to work on the city’s 2012 comprehensive plan.

“Smart economic development is key for a great Highland Heights, the key word is ‘smart.’

Not all businesses are good for our city and need to be selected carefully,” said Ramler. “As more and

more of our houses turn into rentals, we will need to address ‘slum lords’ in the future to keep our standards and property values steady.”

He’d like to help protect the city and make sure residents can express themselves at council meetings and be treated with respect.

Newcomer Scott Reincke, 56, has lived in Highland Heights since 1992. He graduated from Taylor High School in Cincinnati and has worked for Jeff Wyler for 16 years.

Reincke has served 13 years on the city’s planning and zoning board.

“I’d like to participate in the redevelopment of the city, particularly the northside alignment and the new TIF district. We need to keep taxes flowing and continue redevelopment to keep the tax burden off the residents’ backs,” he said. “There’s a lot of people who like to complain about what’s going on, but not a lot of peo-

ple who want to take action.”

Newcomer Scott Sedmak, 33, is a corporate communications manager who has worked for the Kentucky State Senate and Cincinnati City Council.

Sedmak has lived in Highland Heights for just more than five years and is a Campbell County native who has lived most of his life in Northern Kentucky.

He has a bachelor’s degree in journalism and political science from Franklin College.

“I’m looking forward to bringing the experience I’ve learned in Frankfort and Cincinnati to council....

I think fresh eyes and a different angle can bring a better stewardship to the community,” he said. “I’d like to keep an eye on the efficiency of services, maximize transparency and work toward developing a more walkable neighborhood.”

Campbell clerk campaign a battle over experience Luersen

Muench

enced.”

Luersen, a lifelong Campbell County resident, said it is important the clerk has the experience to serve from the first day without a need to learn on the job. Luersen said his experience goes beyond property law unlike his opponent’s claims.

“As an attorney for three decades, I know

son we can’t do that with the technology we have,” he said.

Muench said people can pay for their driver’s license online now, and he wonders why people can’t pay their property taxes online too.

Muench said the clerk’s office is required to handle lots of paper records, but in the future new records people use or look for frequently can be digitized or scanned “The taxpayer is the customer, whatever we can do to access records and access files - that’s the goal,” Muench said.

Luersen said he wants to increase online vehicle registrations and renewals so the public will not have to wait in line the last few days of their birth month.

“I would also like to make more real estate records available online by obtaining grants to scan older documents,” he said. “I would also like to check on the feasibility of conducting the annual tax sale by computer.”

Luersen said he also doesn’t see any reason why election results cannot be posted electronically in the future.

“I don’t see any rea-

the law,” he said. “Having worked closely with the clerk’s office during those 30 years, I have been involved in every facet of the clerk’s operations, from real estate records to automotive registrations to election law to the tax bill sale.”

Working as an assistant Campbell County attorney for 13 years, Luersen said he knows how the county’s government works.

“Jack Snodgrass has been a great county clerk, so the office is in good shape,” he said. “I already know the people in the office and the work they do.”

THE THE EX AMIN INNNED EED EXAMINED AMDG LLIFE LI IFEE IF

Republican Jim Luersen and Democrat Marc Muench are each seeking to be the first new Campbell County Clerk in 25 years.

Each of the candidates says his experience makes him the better candidate to be clerk.

Cold Spring Democrat Jack Snodgrass, the clerk since 1990, is not seeking another fouryear term.

It’s the first time either Muench or Luersen has sought elected office.

The clerk’s office maintains property and marriage records, runs each election at the polls and is where people renew their automobile tax registration.

Luersen, 54, of Cold Spring, has practiced real estate and tax law for 30 years. Muench, 59, of Camp Springs, retired Oct. 1 as chief of the Florence Fire Department.

Muench said he has been in public service for 42 years as a volunteer firefighter in Cambpell County, where he has lived his entire life.

Prior to becoming Florence’s fire chief 10 years ago, Muench spent most of his life working in sales and as a customer service manager and distribution manager for Campbell’s Soup Co. and for Coca-Cola.

“I have the business acumen, and I have the

public service end of it which I dearly love,” Muench said.

Muench said many of the operations of the clerk’s office are dictated by state law, and he will use business principles to run the office efficiently. The business experience, which Snodgrass had prior to being elected, is key, Muench said.

“My opponent is a good man, but his skill is property law, and he will blow me away if we start talking property law,” Muench said. “But that’s just a small part of that office down there, so I think I’m more experi-

Campbell Co. jailer foes differ over atmosphere

By Carrie Blackmore Smith csmith@enquirer.com

The Campbell County jailer race may seem like a snoozer, but voters shouldn’t underestimate whom they elect.

The winner will spend more than a quarter of the county budget. That’s right – more than $1 of every $4 spent goes toward jail operations.

Incumbent jailer Jim Daley thinks it’s a no-brainer to elect him since he has been in charge of the roughly $9 million annual budget for 11⁄2 years since his appointment by Judge-executive Steve Pendery.

He’s spent many years working at the jail, first as interim jailer, then deputy jailer.

The rest of his career was spent in law enforcement and

he holds a law degree.

Democrat Mark “Ed” Hehman concedes he doesn’t have those credentials – the biggest wad of money he’s managed was $30,000 for a turkey shoot.

But he’s convinced that life has become too cushy jail inmates.

“I was born on the theory that you didn’t want to go to jail because you hated it,” Hehman said. “They’ve got flat screen TVs, cable. ... Too many repeaters go into that system just to get off the streets in the winter time. They’re after heat, air conditioning and food. That’s not what the jail is for.”

Daley and Hehman agree that there are too many repeat offenders. Daley would argue, however, that incentives for inmates who display good behavior is a good thing. TV time is one of the privileges, he said.

Inmates pay for these perks through commissary sales, Daley said, making it clear that “no citizens are paying for TVs or cable.”

It’s true, the county faces many challenges as it pertains to the jail, Daley said.

The population continues to climb because of heroin-related crimes, Daley said.

He expects more than 8,000 inmates this year, the largest number in recent history, and probably ever. The jail will be adding another 100 beds in coming years, some of them part of an opiate treatment program.

The jailer makes $98,000 a year, a salary set by state statute and based on county population.

Here’s a look at the two candidates:

JAMES “JIM” DALEY

Age: 58 Home: California Job: Currently the appointed county jailer.

Spent most of his career in law enforcement, including work in Northern Kentucky University’s Public Safety Department, Kentucky State Police and as director of the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force.

Previously served as interim jailer and been appointed county attorney.

Education: Associate degree in criminal justice, bachelor’s degree in public administration and law degree, all from NKU. Graduate of Campbell County High School.

Political experience: Appointed to positions of county attorney and county jailer

Civic involvement: On the board of local Boys & Girls Club Family: Wife, Jackie; twins Jake and Joel, Jesse and a second set of twins, Jackson and Josie.

Cold Spring candidates look forward

By Amy Scalf ascalf@communitypress.com

COLD SPRING — Seven candidates vie for six City Council seats in Cold Spring.

Nancy Barnes withdrew from the race.

Newcomer Christopher Ampfer, 48, has lived in Cold Spring 15 years. He is an engineer at Duke Energy’s gas department who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in agricultural engineering from the University of Kentucky.

He has served on the city’s planning and zoning board before the job he had at the time precluded him from involvement in local office.

Ampfer said he was urged by friends to run for office.

He described himself as “conservative” and would “prefer to keep taxes down and streets in good repair.” He would like to look through the city’s ordinances and see if anything needs to be updated or changed.

Incumbent Lisa Schmidt Cavanaugh, 52, is completing her first council term. She has

Ampfer

Cavanaugh

lived in Cold Spring 25 years and owns a small business. Prior to her election to council, Cavanaugh served on the parks and recreation board as an event coordinator for eight years.

She said her top issues are “wasteful spending and lack of transparency,” and she wants to make “residents feel like their voice does matter.”

“I just hope to be able to work with the new council in any way I can for the betterment of our community,” she said.

Incumbent Lou Gerding, 65, has served on Cold Spring City Council 25 years. He retired from Cincinnati Bell as a project manager and holds a bachelor of science degree in management and economics from Northern Kentucky University. Gerding has also served on the Campbell County Planning Commission

Gerding

Jones

and the city of Crestview’s planning commission. He is also a Marine Corps combat veteran in Vietnam.

“I think we need to plan for the future of this city and revisit the strategic plan for the next 10 years,” he said. “We must manage revenues and resources efficiently while promoting public safety and city services, and strive for fiscal responsibility while keeping taxes low.”

Newcomer Roger Jones, 47, has lived in Cold Spring14 years.

He is a chiropractor, a Fort Thomas native and a Newport Catholic High School graduate who attended NKU and Life University in Marietta, Georgia.

He’s excited about becoming more involved with the city.

“It looks like a big turnover is happening on council, and we’re potentially moving in a new di-

Sears

rection. I’m pretty happy with how things are going and just want to put in my input and get a little more involved,” Jones said.

Brenda Rodgers-Helton did not return calls for information.

Incumbent Adam Craig Sandfoss, 28, was first elected in 2010, and has lived in Cold Spring his whole life. He is a registered nurse at St. Elizabeth in Fort Thomas who graduated from Bishop Brossart High School and NKU with bachelor’s degrees in nursing and political science.

“I would honestly like to continue the work we’ve been doing the last four years,” he said.

“We’ve got some of the lowest tax rates anywhere in Northern Kentucky and a balanced projected budget. We’ve not only been conserving money but putting plans in place to fix roads,

keep residents safe and provide a high level of services to residents.”

Newcomer Kenny Sears, 54, has lived in Cold Spring since 2010 and Northern Kentucky since 1983. He is assistant vice president and senior trust operations officer for The Bank of Kentucky. He has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Cincinnati.

“I’ve always desired to be politically involved since a very young age,” he said. He has served on the board of adjustments in Alexandria and Taylor Mill and also serves on his homeowners’ association.

“I’m very much a pro-business candidate,” said Sears. “If elected, I will strive to keep Cold Spring a business friendly environment while managing to avoid any increase in taxes. My values are libertarian. I want a small, minimally intrusive government that provides services necessary to its citizens while allowing for reasonable personal freedoms.”

NKY Senate race pits principal against prosecutor Northern Kentucky 24th Senate District

By Scott Wartman swartman@enquirer.com

A vacancy in the Kentucky Senate has left an elementary school principal and a prosecutor to fight each other this fall to replace retiring state Sen. Katie Stine, R-Southgate.

Democrat Jason Steffen, 38, principal of Mary A. Goetz Elementary in Ludlow, and Republican Wil Schroder, 32, an assistant prosecutor in Campbell County, are running for the 24th Senate District, which covers Campbell, Pendleton and Bracken counties.

Their professions influence their priorities.

As a prosecutor, Schroder has seen the spike in recent years of heroin abusers and traffickers come through his court. That’s why he’s cited eliminating the heroin abuse problem in Northern Kentucky as a top priority.

His answer involves tougher criminal penalties. Schroder believes the reforms the General Assembly passed in 2011to reduce prison population made the heroin problem worse. They reduced the penalties for some heroin trafficking offenses from 5-10 years to 1-5 years.

Schroder wants to push that back up to 5-10.

Those harsher penalties, he said, kept traffickers from crossing the Ohio River. “We did have a reputation as being harsher in Kentucky on this side of the river among the traffickers,” Schroder said. “Word

got around.”

Steffen spoke about reforming how the state pays for schools in Kentucky so school districts aren’t penalized for bringing in more local tax revenue.

The state adjusts its allocation to local school districts based on how much local property taxes bring in. The wealthier the district, the less state money. Instead, Steffen wants to give all schools a base amount of state money. Anything above that would be up to the local school district based on where they want to set their tax rate.

“If I choose to raise my taxes in my school district, that money should stay and I shouldn’t receive less state funding because of it,” Steffen said.

When asked whether that will make the rich schools richer and the poor schools poorer, Steffen said, “Everyone’s going to get an adequate amount of money for every child.”

Airport board reform

The idea of giving Ohio officials a vote on the governing board for the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport gives most Northern Kentucky leaders

board needs to go beyond the Kenton County judge-executive, but he doesn’t think the Ohio governor should have the ability to appoint a voting member to the airport board.

The Enquirer/Randy Mazzola

fits. Not Steffen.

He didn’t hesitate to endorse Kentucky Auditor Adam Edelen’s recommendation that the seven-member board be replaced by an 11-member board that includes three members from Ohio – an appointee each from Ohio’s governor, Hamilton County Commission and Cincinnati’s mayor.

Steffen wants to be consistent. He has called for more Campbell County representation on Sanitation District No. 1’s board and other regional boards. He said he then can’t demand equal representation on some boards but turn around and say for a regional airport board that “you’re on the other side of the Ohio, and we can’t have that.”

“If we are going to be regional, be competitive on a national stage, we’ve got to all be on the same page,” Steffen said.

Both Schroder and Steffen oppose tolls to pay for the $2.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge renovation and replacement and put the responsibility on the federal government.

Steffen seemed more open to the idea of a small toll of $1 if that’s the only way it could get done. “I am not in favor of tolls – don’t put me on record as in favor of tolls,” Steffen said. “But for this project to get jumpstarted right now, it’s got to at least be on the table.”

Schroder said Northern Kentucky should get the 80 percent federal funding other state projects have received. When pressed on whether his answer means he’d be OK with 20 percent tolls, Schroder said no.

“I don’t think enough information has been presented,” Schroder said. “At this point, I’m against tolls.”

Library tax lawsuit

Both candidates agree that unelected boards shouldn’t have unchecked authority to raise taxes. And both don’t want to see libraries closed.

Schroder said whether libraries’ budgets get slashed will depend on the Kentucky Appeals Court, and he doesn’t know if the legislature will stop

it. Steffen said he hopes a fix could be found.

A lawsuit filed by tea party leaders challenged the property tax set by boards of libraries started by petition, as are the ones in Campbell, Kenton and more than 70 other libraries across the state. Many critics of the library tax want a board directly elected by the public, which library boards are not, to set the rates.

If the lawsuit is upheld, it would roll the property tax rate back three decades and decimate library budgets, causing layoffs, cutbacks and branch closures.

Schroder said he supports giving the fiscal courts authority to approve tax increases. He doesn’t know if the legislature can stop the closure of libraries if the courts uphold the lawsuit and the tax is repealed.

“Do I want to see libraries close?

Absolutely not,” Schroder said, “but where is the money going to come from?.”

Steffen wants to change the law so the Campbell County Public Library taxes are valid, but he would also like to give the approval for library tax rates to the fiscal court.

“That’s where the issue lies, you’re having a non-elected board increase taxes for the library,” Steffen said. “They’re right. We don’t have elected oversight of tax increases. The premise of the lawsuit is correct. The problem is it’s the library and nobody sues libraries.”

Hamblin right at home at NKU Former Fairfield star takes little time to help Norse win

By Marc Hardin Enquirer contributor

Former Fairfield standout Macy Hamblin remembers how nervous she was before her first soccer game in a Northern Kentucky University uniform, and it was just an exhibition match.

“I was so nervous. It was my first game in college, and the girls were bigger than in high school. They were older,” said the freshman. “But the girls on my team who already had experience really helped me.”

Hamblin went from being a

bundle of nerves to a bona fide scoring threat within minutes.

After worrying so much about her Aug. 8 debut, Hamblin she scored two goals in a 4-2 preseason opening win at Wright State.

Coach Bob Sheehan, guiding the Norse in their third season at the NCAA Division I level, said that it was basically the team’s third day of practice at Wright State. He’s been NKU’s coach for 18 years. He knows a good start when he sees one, and he’s watched Hamblin flourish from the beginning, despite some injuries.

ALEXANDRIA — Campbell County beat Bishop Brossart in the 37th District finals last week for a historic win in girls soccer. The Camels won 4-1 in a penalty-kick shootout after the teams played to a scoreless draw through 90 minutes of regular action.

“I am extremely proud of this group of players and what they have accomplished this season including winning our first district championship,” said Campbell head coach Dave Morris. “In the championship game each player fought hard every minute that they played.”

Campbell improved to 16-5-1 after beating the Mustangs for the second time in as many tries this season, marking their first wins in the series since 2003.

Campbell was to play Harrison County Wednesday in the 10th Region semifinals. The Camels beat the Thorobreds 3-0 earlier this season. The winner faces Brossart or George Rogers Clark (15-4-1) in the championship game 4 p.m. Saturday at GRC’s field in Winchester.

The Camels drew a bye to the semifinals by virtue of winning the district title. In the process, they reversed recent years of close losses to their city rivals in postseason play, including in PKs.

“I told them at halftime that it was 40 minutes to the championship and to make sure that they don't walk off the field wishing that they had done more,” Morris said. “They left it all on the field in the second half just as I asked them to do.

That was the key in our win, in my opinion.”

Bryanna Schroers posted five saves for the shutout and made one save in the PK shootout. Junior defender Holly Schwarber was named the district tournament most valuable player.

Other all-tourney picks were Schroers, junior defender Alyson Kuper and senior midfielder Carolyn Bertsch.

Bertsch entered the regional with a team-high 12 goals. Taylor Jolly has 10 and Abby Vandergriff eight. Senior Brook Burgess has nine assists and Schroers has 10 shutouts.

The Campbell boys team fell 7-0 to Scott in the district semifinals to finish 8-8-4. Rob Augspurger led the Camels with 22 goals. Michael Dumaine had 12 with nine assists, and Oliver Rice six with seven assists. Colton Gearhart posted a teamhigh 10 assists.

Among season highlights were a 1-1 tie with Ryle and a 1-0 win over defending Ninth Region champion Highlands.

expectations after being highly decorated in high school,” Sheehan said of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America 2013 All-American. “We think she’s going to have a wonderful career at NKU.” Hamblin came out firing, blasting a shot in the first two minutes just outside the right post against Wright State. She scored twice 17 minutes apart in the second half to give the Norse extra insurance goals while setting the final score.

She hasn’t stopped scoring, getting a goal in her first three games, and accomplishing something later in the season that she never dreamed, while becoming a new force in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Bluebirds come together for district title

By James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

FORT THOMAS — The day before his team’s clash with its bitter rival, Brian Wiefering was surprised by his players’ skills in penalty kicks.

He was not surprised by their ability to work together and sacrifice for the success of the team.

That combination led the Highlands High School girls soccer team to the 36th District championship Oct. 15. Highlands beat Newport Central Catholic in the final at Tower Park, winning 4-2 in penalty kicks after the teams were scoreless through 80 minutes of regulation and 10 minutes of overtime.

Both teams advanced to next week’s Ninth Region Tournament. Highlands (11-8-1) has its most wins since 2010.

“They have become the most unselfish team I

have coached in my life,” said Wiefering, Highlands’ head coach. “(NCC head coach) Kevin (Turnick) does a great job on defense. They packed it in a little bit. It was tough to break that line.

“Our team stayed more organized defensively than we have all year. We didn’t get ahead of ourselves and get too aggressive when we attack. Our midfielders knew if our backs were making runs, they had to fill in for them.”

The day before the game, Wiefering had the Bluebirds practice the penalty-kick shootout, which is mandated only to break ties in postseason and district seeding games. One decision the coach had to make was which of his two goalkeepers – sophomore Shannon Eaton or freshman Olivia McQueary – would patrol the net in the shootout.

Highlands posted its fourth straight shutout, and Wiefering was proud of the team’s defensive effort against NCC senior standout Loren Zimmerman. NCC (13-5-1) beat Highlands 2-1 in September.

ond game, Hamblin scored NKU’s only goal in a 1-1 overtime tie against Morehead State. She scored the first goal in the third game, a 6-4 loss to Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne.

“Macy Hamblin has at this point earned the most points in a single season since we have been Division I,” Sheehan said. “She has a great work ethic.

She’s highly motivated and competitive.... On the field, she has good size and

strength with a high skill level. She can strike with both feet, and has a knack for finding the goal and getting us in position to score.”

The 2013 Enquirer Ohio area player of the year had a team-leading 16 points in 12 games heading into Saturday’s Senior Night contest against Kennesaw State in the home finale at NKU Soccer Stadium. She had a team-best six goals and four assists, which

ranked second on the team. Laumann was next with 12 points. The Norse entered Saturday with an overall record of 5-7-1.

Hamblin, Fairfield’s all-time leading scorer and assist maker, was on a pace for 12 goals and more than 30 points before getting hit with injuries, which kept her out of three Norse games and part of another.

As she was recovering from a high right ankle

sprain that put her in a walking boot and left her on crutches midseason, a new bout with shin splints worsened in both legs.

“I’m starting to feel good,” said Hamblin, a two-time Greater Miami Conference player of the year and two-time allstate selection at Fairfield. “I’ve had shin splints before, so I know what to do, and I’m seeing the trainer every day. The ankle sprain the first month

was tough, but I’m going to be OK.” The Norse have two regular-season road games remaining, at Lipscomb and at Detroit Mercy. The A-Sun Tournament is Nov. 1-9. Hamblin wants to help NKU’s seniors end things on a positive note, after they helped her so much.

“This has been really fun,” Hamblin said. “We would love to keep winning and keep playing.”

Barrett leads Bellevue to big win

By James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

BELLEVUE — Johnny Poynter had contemplated moving Zach Barrett, his tall, talented multipurpose senior star, to defensive end heading into his team’s key district clash.

The Bellevue head coachultimatelykeptBarrett at safety, and the senior rewarded his teammates by making two clutch defensive plays late in the game to lead the Tigers to a key win over district rival Ludlow.

Bellevue pulled out a 20-14 victory over Ludlow to improve to 5-4,1-1in district play. Ludlow fell to 5-3, 1-1. Bellevue can clinch at least the two seed in the district and home field in the first round of the playoffs with a win over Dayton next week.

Poynter said the Tigers have the inside track on tiebreakers even with a loss. Ludlow likely has to upset Beechwood next week to have a shot at a home game.

Barrett set up the winning touchdown by returning an interception 16 yards to the Ludlow 33 midway through the fourth period while the teams were tied at 14. The Tigers drove down and scored on a 1-yard run by senior quarterback Tate Grainger with six minutes to go.

Ludlow had a great chance to win the game on its final possession, in which it started at the 27 with 2:30 to go. Quarterback Devlin Carter completed a long pass to Trent Ledbetter just past midfield. Ledbetter sprinted down the left sideline and looked to have a great shot at a touchdown, but Barrett came over from the middle of the field to knock him out of bounds at the Bellevue 8, a 62-yard gain. Considering Ledbetter was 2-for-2 on extra points in the contest, Ludlow had a good shot at winning if he had found the endzone.

and goal, but on second down, Alec Hazeres sacked Carter back at the Bellevue 16. On fourth down from the 15, Michael Thompson and Austin Woodyard ended the threat by combining to bring down Carter and keep him from attempting a pass with 33 seconds to go.

Barrett, also the Tigers‘ top receiver, scored Bellevue’s second touchdown of the game to tie the contest at 14 late in the first half. Grainger found him open on a medium play-action pass and Barrett outran the defense for a score, his eighth receiving TD of the season.

“We lined up in that wishbone probably three or four times this year and hadn’t thrown a pass,” Poynter said. “We put that in this week.”

Early on, the game looked to be an offensive shootout. Bellevue scored quickly in the first 80 seconds, driving down on Grainger’s first TD pass of the game, to Blake Stephenson. The Panthers responded two minutes later on a 20-yard TD pass from Carter to Nathan Wyrick, and Bellevue led 8-7.

But the defenses settled down after that and the teams relied on their running game. The Tigers, who have set multiple school passing records this season, leaned more on Hazeres than they have

all year. Hazeres rushed for 128 yards on 29 carries after posting 295 yards on 76 tries the first eight games. Grainger completed nine passes for 137 yards. Barrett posted 83 yards on four catches.

Bellevue had 310 yards offense and limited the Panthers to 170.

For Ludlow, Carter threw for 134 yards. Wyrick had 61 on three catches. Jeremiah Martin rushed for 64 yards on 13 attempts. Martin also had two fumble recoveries and a team-high 12 tackles. Jamin Garrett had an interception to set up Ludlow’s second touchdown.

It was Bellevue’s eighth consecutive win in the series and 66th overall in 98 meetings. Bellevue hosts Dayton Friday.

Meier proposes ‘Pretty the City’ initiative My name is Adam Meier, and I am a candidate for Fort Thomas City Council. Along with my wife and two young children, I live in a single-family home on the Avenue that we recently converted from a two-family. Doing most of the work myself, this conversion was a long and trying process, but worth it in the end.

This experience was also a major contributing factor to my proposed “Pretty the City” initiative – a multiprong approach to incentivize renovation and upkeep on targeted property types within the city.

You see, one of the things I love about Fort Thomas is the character and charm of the old homes. But as most residents

know firsthand, upkeep and renovations can be costly and timeconsuming.

Further, many of these beautiful old homes Adam have been conMeier verted into mulCOMMUNITY tifamily rentRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST als. Others have gone too long unattended and are now uninhabitable or vacant. The good news is that I have a plan to reverse those trends – and to do so in a manner that is revenue neutral to the city.

I would personally like to see

more multifamily dwellings converted to single-family homes.

To achieve that goal, I would propose the city offer a tax assessment moratorium, for a fixed period of years, to any multifamily property owner that converts it to a single-family home. In simple terms, the city would freeze the tax assessment at the prerenovation value for a fixed number of years to allow the property owner to recoup some of their improvement cost. The city continues to receive taxes on the unimproved portion that it would have received anyway.

Because single-family homes in Fort Thomas typically assess significantly higher per square foot than multifamilies, once the

Campbell County is poised to thrive I love my job as judge-executive. I enjoy talking about the issues facing Campbell County, about what’s working and not working and sharing in the passion so many people feel for this community.

Election years offer a great chance to talk about what we’ve accomplished and, more importantly, to look to the future.

I believe Campbell County has done well under my leadership and is poised to thrive in the years to come. And I’m proud to have played a part in making it happen.

We live within our means in Campbell Steve County – a value we all Pendary share. Our county has COMMUNITY the second lowest per RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST capita spending in Northern Kentucky while still providing excellent services.

We emerged from the worst recession in 70 years with an $8 million budget surplus. I have balanced the budget every single year I have been in office. This fiscally conservative record in turn helps attract new businesses and the jobs they create.

I have worked hard to secure critical infrastructure for our county – including rebuilds of U.S. 27, I-471, I-275, and Johns Hill Road at Northern Kentucky University to name a few. Work is scheduled to begin soon for others, like Route 9 from I-275 to Newport, and a connector road at NKU to facilitate business growth.

These infrastructure improvements have helped drive four developments sprinkled around the county. Arcadia, a residential development near Alexandria, calls for some 1,000 homes. Manhattan Harbor in Dayton will include about 50 high-value riverfront lots that are now available and a second phase, also underway, will feature a large multifamily complex. In Newport, the mixed residential/ business use development called the Ovation Project will support hundreds of jobs

and eventually could result in a billion dollars of investment. NKU is getting a new $107 million Health Innovations Center that will be used to draw business into partnership with the university.

These projects alone, as they stand today, represent tens of millions of dollars in development and hundreds of goodpaying jobs. Hundreds of millions of dollars in development and thousands of jobs should be on the way. And the development is happening the Campbell County way – focused in areas that want and need the growth, while ensuring farming and recreation areas remain untouched.

I have been able to play a leading role in the fight against heroin because I know how to help different law enforcement agencies, cities, businesses and others work together. Our fight against heroin began more than two years ago. It has resulted in a unique approach that has put more than 300 dealers behind bars and has made strides in drug education and treatment in addition to law enforcement.

We have thepolice, the judicial system, the legislature, local governments, hospitals and other treatment providers, our schools, the chamber of commerce, the families of affected individuals, and the community at large all enlisted in the effort. This is a fight that will take time, and a fight we must win. We will win it.

But elections must be as much about the future as the past – perhaps even more so. Under my leadership, our county government will be diligent about findings ways to be even more responsive and customer-friendly.

We will remain aggressive in fighting heroin. We will continue to steer development where it makes the most sense, and where residents want it. We will make sure we get our fair share out of Frankfort for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. And, together, we will work to ensure Campbell County remains a great place to live and raise a family.

Steve Pendery is seeking re-election as Campbell County judge-executive.

moratorium ends, the city receives taxes on the higher value resulting in additional revenue for the city. Other targeted property types I would target in the abatement program are commercial properties, nonconforming properties, and properties vacant for more than a year.

As far as vacant properties are concerned, the city does not currently know the scope of the problem. It is not currently tracked, and while there are no blighted areas, the number of vacant properties is not insignificant. Vacant properties can become a nuisance, attracting and harboring wild animals or serving as a temporary hangout for kids, vandals or drug users.

What I would propose is organizing a task force to identify, track, and find ways to incentivize upkeep, renovation or sale of vacant homes to get them occupied once again. One solution is the tax moratorium described above. Other solutions would be proposed and evaluated by the collective wisdom of the task force and recommended to council.

If you like what I propose, I would appreciate your support and vote Nov. 4, and together, we’ll “Pretty the City.”

Maintaining status quo isn’t working How long is too long?

The Fox Small Business Center recently reported on a study of 365 U.S. companies measuring the business leader’s length of time in office, and how that tenure affected the company and its customers.

In Kentucky counties, the judgeexecutive is considered the CEO of county government.

The customer is the taxpayer who uses county services.

The study found that leaders who overstay their welcome ultimately hurt Ken the organization.

Rechtin COMMUNITY PRESS “Specifically, the longer CEOs stay in GUEST COLUMNIST power, the more likely they are to stop reacting to market conditions and their customers’ desires, ultimately hurting their firm’s performance.”

Creating organizational change to better serve the customer is dismissed in favor of the status quo.

This has happened in our county.

“Maintaining the status quo,” could be called the campaign slogan of my opponent. After 15 years, he simply has no vision for our future.

For example: Job, business and property growth have been stagnant for far too long.

Campbell County residents are tired of “being a show horse,” finishing third to Kenton and Boone in nearly all comparisons. The city of Florence boasts 1.5 jobs for each resident, while Campbell County has less than 0.7 jobs. This lack of job growth has resulted in increased burden on the property tax.

While going door-to-door and speaking with citizens, I have learned that they have lost confidence in the governing boards of our airport and of our sanitation district. While a path

of isolation from other Northern Kentucky counties and cities is not the answer, collaboration at the expense of Campbell County is unacceptable.

Last year the current administration spent $300,000 of your tax dollars to create a simple database software to collect business taxes. (Tax collection software is available from private for-profit companies, but the choice to create the county’s own was driven internally.) This software benefits the county’s tax collectors, not the businesses.

Further, the business tenure study finds that the longer a leader remains, the less attuned they become to their customers. The current judge-executive illustrates this in a quote from his campaign website: “I am not like other politicians who tell you what they think that you want to hear, I will tell you what you need to know.” This statement demonstrates that the citizens’ wishes don’t matter, that the current administration will make the decisions without citizen input.

As your judge-executive, I will listen to and serve you. I will be a full-time leader, giving my undivided attention to our goals and challenges.

I bring 40 years of experience in leadership and management roles and have consistently demonstrated fiscal responsibility and creative problem solving as a city and county commissioner, business executive, and a small business owner.

I will deliver on a vision of a growing and vibrant Campbell County.

OCTOBER 23, 2014 • CCF RECORDER • A9

Proven leadership needed to combat heroin epidemic On Nov. 4, you will be asked to vote for one of two candidates to serve you on the Kentucky Court of Appeals. The choice is incredibly important because most cases end at the Court of Appeals.

In deciding which candiAllison date Jones deserves COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST your COLUMNIST vote for this very important seat, you should ask yourself one simple question: which candidate has the proven experience, dedication to public service, and solid family values to represent you?

I am the only candidate with judicial experience. As your current Court of Appeals judge, I know the job. And I do it well. My work has been praised by other judges

and attorneys throughout the commonwealth.

In the Northern Kentucky Bar Association’s judicial candidate survey, an overwhelming majority of lawyers rated me as highly qualified to continue serving on the Court of Appeals.

I also have over seven years of prior experience as a public judicial servant working as a trial-level judge and as a staff attorney in federal court. Before that I was a trial lawyer at one of the largest and most respected law firms in the state, Stites & Harbison.

I am also the only candidate with the proven leadership skills to combat the heroin epidemic. In September 2013, I wrote Attorney General Conway a letter expressing my concerns, requesting more funding for heroin-related prevention and treatment programs, and recommending a funding solution. In January 2014, Attorney General Jack Conway implemented

my proposed funding solution by pledging to use millions of dollars his office recovered from settlements to expand substance abuse treatment in Northern Kentucky. I have also sponsored heroin awareness forums throughout our district.

If re-elected to the Court of Appeals, I will continue increasing public awareness and collaborating with other officials to reduce recidivism among addicts and impose stiffer penalties for traffickers.

My husband, Larry, and I have been married for over 12 years. We have two beautiful children, Riley, 9, and Reed, 6. Raising my children with my husband has been the greatest delight of my adult life and has strengthened my commitment to preserving family values for our commonwealth. My love of children also led me to develop and implement a constitutional law program for elementary

school classes. To date, I have taught this class to students in every one of my 21 counties, including several schools in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties.

As part of this incredible journey towards Nov. 4, you, the citizens of Northern Kentucky, have shared your ideas, your fears and your hopes for our community with me. I have taken those things to heart. If you re-elect me to the Court of Appeals, I will continue to make sure that every litigant who appears in my court has a fair, impartial, and politically unbiased forum. And, I will continue to use my experience and leadership to improve the judicial system and the community-at-large for every citizen. I humbly ask for your vote on Nov. 4.

Allison Jones is seeking election to the Kentucky Court of Appeals, 6th Appellate District, Division 1. She lives in Prospect.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Retired jailer supports Jones

I am a lifelong resident of Campbell County and had the great honor of serving as the Campbell County jailer for 15 years. As jailer, I worked closely with many judges. Kentucky Court of Appeals Judge Allison Jones ranks among the best judges I have encountered. She is dedicated, intelligent, and down-to-earth. I wholeheartedly support keeping Northern Kentucky’s Judge Allison Jones on the Court of Appeals.

Since taking the bench, Judge Jones has represented all citizens of Northern Kentucky with distinction. Her work has been praised by many highly respected judges and lawyers throughout the commonwealth. And she is the only candidate with judicial experience.

Judge Jones is also a model public servant.

She has worked tirelessly to fight the heroin epidemic and led the way in securing funding from the attorney general’s office for heroinrelated prevention and treatment in Northern Kentucky. She has also gone into elementary schools throughout Northern Kentucky teaching our children about the importance of public service and our Constitution.

Our community needs Judge Jones.

Please join me on Nov. 4 and cast your vote for Judge Allison Jones.

Vote Penque for Cold Spring mayor

It has been an honor to serve the residents of Cold Spring for the past 12 years as mayor and four years as a city councilman. After only being in the city for three years, I was glad to step forward and serve.

Although stepping

down as mayor, I am still deeply interested in the future well-being of our city. It is that care and concern that has led me to support David “Angelo” Penque for mayor.

Angelo is dedicated to public service. He has served his country as a Vietnam-era Army veteran. He has also served as a law enforcement officer and police chief for 25 years. He is experienced in managing staff and budgets. He is an entrepreneur, a business manager and fiscal conservative. Angelo has started two businesses and has been in charge of large, complex business operations for many years. He is absolutely tough on crime and drugs.

With his vast law enforcement experience, he is highly experienced in battling crime, and he has led numerous successful narcotics investigations. Angelo is also a tough negotiator.

As a law enforcement officer and as a businessman, he has faced and dealt with very tough “one-on-one” negotiations. Very importantly, I find Angelo to be a positive person and forward thinking. In all of my meetings with him, I have found him to see a bright future for Cold Spring, and he’s dedicated to continually making the city a better place to live.

The mayor of Cold Spring will face complex issues. I see no better person to “pass the baton” to than Angelo Penque, and I urge you to join me in voting for David “Angelo” Penque on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Sibling shout-out to Mark Muench

I am writing on behalf of my brothers and sisters and myself in support of our brother Marc Muench for the office of Campbell County Clerk. No one knows

more about a person than their siblings. We can attest that Marc has always been extremely responsible, having a great work ethic fostered by our parents Ray and Joan Muench.

Marc has been very successful in the management and administrative positions he’s held throughout his career. These positions include work in the private sector (Pepperidge Farm and Coca-Cola) as well as in the public sector, most recently as the Fire/EMS Chief for city of Florence. There he was responsible for more than 80 Firefighter/EMS personnel as well as a budget in excess of $8 million.

Marc knows that providing good customer service is “key” to the running of the county clerk’s office. As he recently noted in an educational forum “everyone who utilizes the service of the county clerk’s office is a “customer.” I want to see the citizens of Campbell County receive the high quality services of the clerk’s office that they deserve.”

Please join us in supporting Marc with your vote for Campbell County Clerk on Nov. 4.

No substitute for experience, ability

I am Judge Greg Popovich, and I have been your district judge for over 20 years. During that time I have worked hard to make Campbell County safer for our families in a firm, fair, impartial and nonpartisan manner.

In the face of the heroin epidemic in Northern Kentucky there is no substitute for experience, legal ability and integrity. I believe I have demonstrated

these qualities. In fact, the legal community in an anonymous survey coupled with their endorsements “Strongly Agreed” that I am the most qualified candidate. Retired judges and prosecutors including Court of Appeals Judges Daniel Guidugli, Bruce Lester and Commonwealth Attorney Jack Porter along with current and past state and local legislators (from both parties) agreed.

(Visit www.JudgePopovich.com to view the endorsement list.)

On Nov. 4, I respectfully ask for your vote.

Judge Gregory T. Popovich Campbell County District Court, Division I

Vote for Judge Popovich

What do we require of our judges? We should require legal ability, experience, fairness and integrity.

Judge Popovich has demonstrated all of these over the last 20 years. An anonymous survey conducted by the Northern Kentucky Bar Association rated Judge Popovich and the other candidate. The members “Strongly Agreed” that Judge Popovich is the only real choice: legal ability (96 to 33), legal experience (107 to 32), integrity and character (81 to 40), qualified overall (94 to 35). In fact, the attorneys strongly agreed in every question that Judge Popovich is the right person for the job.

The Northern Kentucky Bar Association members represent every political party and every side of cases that come before the court.

On Nov. 4 please join me and my family in voting to keep District Judge Greg Popovich, the only qualified candidate.

Using my background in computers, I have made advances in technology to maintain and make up-todate and accurate the database of property information as well as mapping information for the county. I have put this information on the Internet and, through a partnership with LinkGIS, online mapping is available at www.linkgis .org. Unlike many counties, all of this information is available online free.

I have brought fair and equal assessing to the entire county through changes in field work and by giving my staff the necessary training and equipment to do their jobs properly. I work closely with the county clerk,

sheriff, fiscal court, and other local agencies to help improve service for the county. All the improvements I have made have been to serve the citizens of Campbell County better, and I am proud of the accomplishments of my staff and my office.

I am up for election this November, and I want to ask for your continued support. I am the only qualified candidate in this race. I am a Certified Kentucky Assessor and Senior Kentucky Assessor, having passed all the training courses offered by the Department of Revenue for PVAs and their staffs. I have over 500 hours of continuing educations from the Department of Revenue, including being an instructor for the department’s education program for the PVAs. I am a Campbell County native and lifelong resident. My wife, Kendra, and I live in Claryville where we raise our 3-yearold son Joseph.

Daniel Braun is a Claryville resident seeking his fourth term as Campbell County property valuation administrator.

Schabell: City at crucial juncture

Hello, my name is Andy Schabell, and I am running for re-election to the Alexandria City Council. I am married to Amanda Schabell, and together we have three wonderful children, Katlyn, Brooklyn and John.

I am a 1996 graduate of Bishop Brossart High School. I Andy graduatSchabell ed from Eastern COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST KenCOLUMNIST tucky University with a degree in police administration in 2001. I volunteered with the Cold Spring/Crestview Volunteer Fire Department as both a firefighter and EMT from 1997 to 2002. I work for Griffin Industries in Cold Spring as a corporate transportation coordinator.

During my first two years on council I have been the chairman of the Beautification Committee and served on both the Personnel Committee and the Annexation Committee. While chairman of the Beautification Committee I have secured several thousand dollars of grant money to help maintain our city’s landscaping and parks. I have attended all Personnel and Annexation committee meetings along with attending several Planning and Zoning and Parks and Recreation

meetings. I can honestly say that I have been to more meetings in the past two years than I have in my entire life combined! I have learned a great deal from these meetings, and I look forward to bringing this knowledge with me into my next term.

As a lifelong resident of Campbell County, I have seen our city evolve from a small rural town to a thriving, active, suburban community.

We are in the middle of a very important time of growth for our city. The decisions that we make today will have longreaching effects on all of us. It is our duty as city council members to encourage the growth of our city, but also to manage it in a way that insures we have the resources available to maintain the high level of service that citizens now enjoy.

I encourage everyone to take a look at my website, www.Andy4Alexandria.com and to find me on Facebook at “Andy Schabell Alexandria City Councilman” for more information on what I have done and what I intend to do in the next two years.

I have truly enjoyed my first term with the Alexandria City Council. I would appreciate your vote on Nov. 4.

Heroin fight, antiquated tax structure still need to be addressed Let me first take this opportunity to thank the people of Campbell County for the honor of serving you in the Kentucky General AssemState Rep. Joe bly for Fischer the past 16 years.

COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST Your COLUMNIST continued trust in my representation has encouraged me to seek re-election this year.

Together, we have accomplished many note-

worthy achievements, including the construction of new school buildings in Fort Thomas, an expanded highway (U.S. 27) from Alexandria to Grants Lick and numerous upgrades to the campus and infrastructure at Northern Kentucky University.

But much remains to be done before our community can realize its full potential. First, we must protect our citizens from the heroin dealers that have descended upon our community. Too many families have already lost their beloved children to this deadly scourge. Rep. Addia Wuchner and I have

drafted legislation for the 2015 session that would impose tougher mandatory penalties on heroin pushers that choose Northern Kentucky as their marketplace.

Perhaps the most important long-term challenge for our county and state is to make Kentucky competitive economically so that businesses can create opportunities for young people to gain employment and raise their families here.

Let’s learn from the example of growing states like Florida, Texas and Tennessee. If we replace our antiquated income tax structure with a con-

sumption-based tax, we will attract jobs to our commonwealth and keep our young people productive and prosperous. Had we addressed tax reform in 2011 when House Republican members first proposed it, Toyota and Omnicare would have likely stayed home in Northern Kentucky.

Another huge barrier to prosperity for the people of Campbell County is federal regulation. We have seen sewer rates skyrocket 300 percent in the past decade because of EPA mandates. Federal sewer mandates have severely restricted new home construction in our re-

gion. Reformulated gas adds at least 10 cents to every gallon of fuel sold in Northern Kentucky.

Electricity costs rise because of carbon emission limits on coal. Obamacare mandates keep small companies from hiring more than 50 workers.

To address the problem of over-regulation, I have sponsored the Kentucky Reins Act for many years. The Reins Act would require legislative approval before certain federal or state regulations could take effect. This legislation would give the Kentucky General Assembly veto power over executive

regulations.

Finally, Kentucky must address the unfunded liabilities of our employee and teacher pension systems. Private investors and employers will redeploy their capital and jobs elsewhere unless Kentucky reforms these systems and pays its pension debts without raising taxes on individuals and businesses.

Great challenges often provide great opportunities for reform. With your support, we can meet these challenges during the 2015 session.

State Rep. Joe Fischer is seeking re-election to the 68th District Kentucky House seat.

Campbell Co. needs to lead instead of lag

As anyone can see from a quick drive through town, it’s election time.

Candidates like me are feeling the pinch as Nov. 4 draws Rene closer.

Heinrich I’d like COMMUNITY to take RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST this opportunity to ask for your vote for Campbell County commissioner.

I am running because I believe that Campbell County has untapped

opportunities. Taxes are kept low and services are kept high when an area flourishes with development. Housing prices rise. More money goes to local schools. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts and other development tools need to be utilized so Campbell County can compete with the rest of Northern Kentucky to draw in businesses that attract jobs, pay taxes into our communities, and offer services for a growing number of families.

Smart development means utilizing our existing business districts without infringing on our natural landscape, neigh-

borhoods and communities. Smart development also means taxes, like the 911 tax, are spread equitably among the community, and not on the backs of only a few.

We also need leadership that is not afraid to stand up. Whether challenging the decisions made by SD1 (and how it affects each community), the increasing heroin epidemic or the inner workings of the library board, leadership in Campbell County needs to take a deep look at how effective “business as usual” has been. While $100,000 of savings in salt brine is good, we are losing millions of dollars

in lost opportunities to our neighboring counties when we have the same, if not better, resources.

None of those problems have easy, one line solutions. They all will require intensive hard work and I am rolling up my sleeves for our community as a whole.

Brilliant ideas come from people willing to think outside the box.

Sometimes, this means not having the popular answer or not being embarrassed to express a lofty idea. Always this means listening to everyone’s input to come to the best conclusion. We need to lead instead of lag. Campbell County

needs people willing to work smarter, work faster, and work harder to catch up with Boone and Kenton counties who have enjoyed a burst of growth we have not yet seen. We also need leadership for the whole county, from our river cities to our farms.

Why is growth so important? Revenues from growth pay for roads, police, and libraries without raising homeowner’s and other taxes.

With the growing costs of the retirement of the baby boomer generation, communities have been struggling to keep up a level of services without raising taxes. Campbell

County needs proactive leadership to work within regional development while branching out to help us stand on our own two feet as well. Doing so will create revenue to be used to fund existing infrastructure, but also to pave the way for new projects like libraries and drug intervention and treatment programs.

Please vote for me on Nov. 4, as I am the fiscal conservative Campbell County needs to move us forward. I ask that you vote for the person, not the party.

Rene Heinrich is a candidate for Campbell County commissioner, District 1.

Taxpayers deserve efficient, friendly service We are living in a day and age when taxpayers are demanding efficiency within their government, and rightfully so.

The operaMarc tion of Muench government COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST agencies COLUMNIST whether they be national, state or local are funded by you and me. We expect that the hard-earned dollars that

we pay as taxes are used effectively and prudently. That does not always happen. We continue to hear of poor management practices, by government agencies, which have led to less than effective management of our tax dollars.

For many years, American businesses have injected modern management practices into their processes. This is done to assure that their operations run in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

The services provided by the Campbell County Clerk’s office essentially

constitute a business.

The office is in the business of providing a wide range of services to residents including auto/ motorcycle/boat registration and transfer, the keeping of our county’s records, issuing marriage licenses, tax bill preparation and the complete oversight of the election process, just to name a few.

It is very important that the individual who oversees the employees, the individual departments and the operations of the County Clerk’s office has the education, skill sets and experience

to assure that the office is run in an efficient, accurate and timely manner by individuals who are knowledgeable and helpful. County Clerk Jack Snodgrass has used his experience as a former business owner and manager to do just that.

I have been fortunate in having worked for some very good people in my life. Because of them I have over 30 years of successful business experience as well as 30 years of overlapping management experience in both the private and public sectors. My career has included man-

This kind of dedication is especially important in light of our current heroin epidemic.

Pendery determined to keep costs down

I endorse Steve Pendery for re-election as judge-executive. Here’s why: In 16 years of office Pendery has played a defensive chess game to keep the cost of EPA-

driven environmental compliance from getting out of control through his involvement with SD1.

Compare our sewer bills in Campbell County with those north of the river, $40 vs. $70 per month as an example. An amazing savings. We have not been shortchanged on facilities either. The new eastern regional wastewater treatment plant sits in Alexandria, ready to treat as much wastewater we can generate with new houses for at least the next 20 years.

What are my credentials to know anything about these matters?

Well, I spent the 1980s working on EPA Superfund sites in half a dozen states. Then working for

agement positions with divisions of Coca-Cola and Campbell Soup and most recently as a fire/ EMS chief managing a staff of over 80 individuals. I have also had the pleasure of serving the citizens of Campbell County for over 40 years as a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician for the communities of Southgate, Bellevue, Cold Springs/ Crestview and now Melbourne (Camp Springs).

My combination of corporate management experience, community service and my desire to serve the citizens of this

county assures you that, if I am elected, the County Clerk’s office will be run professionally and that your tax dollars will be spent in the most efficient manner possible. In addition, as a customer of this office, you will be provided quick, friendly and accurate service.

That is my personal promise to you. Your support on Nov. 4 is sincerely appreciated.

Less government, less regulation, low taxes

Any level of government will constantly face challenges on a regular basis.

My opponent states Campbell Charlie County’s “Coach” greatest Coleman challenge is COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST economCOLUMNIST ic development.

I could not disagree more.

Our cities and Southbank Partners are doing a great job. Soon Newport will break ground on a hotel, Dayton continues

the Manhattan Harbor Project, Bellevue continues development on Fairfield and the riverfront. Highland Heights will soon announce a new development, Cold Spring will open the new rehabilitation facility, Wilder has two hotels, a theater and restaurants.

In Alexandria the Arcadia Project continues.

Our biggest challenge is heroin. I have talked with our citizens, city leaders, EMS staff, judges, Northern Kentucky Hates Heroin and law enforcement. We must act now. The war must begin with the harshest of penalties on those trafficking. The plan must be comprehen-

sive. To succeed all must have a seat at the table to allow ownership in a solution. County government, medical professionals, families, addicts and those mentioned above must be included.

My opponent, who attests to being a problem solver, feels we must first agree with her that heroin addiction is a disease. It matters little to me if it is a disease or not, what matters is a focus on a solution. To solve a problem we must first agree on what we have in common and can agree on. I’m sure all agree we want education, treatment options and harsh penalties. Our county is now adding a

treatment facility at the county jail, a great beginning. I look forward to working with others in the county to assist in this fight.

Recently, my opponent criticized me for receiving a pension. Is this supposed to be an insult? Is she criticizing other Campbell County citizens who receive a pension from the State Teachers System, Cincinnati Bell, Duke Energy, General Electric or the state and county system?

Pensioners are getting their own money back they invested for their years of service. Oddly, both of my opponent’s parents are receiving a state teachers pension!

As for knowing the needs of small business owners, I am a founding member of the Independent Business Association of Northern Kentucky. Through my efforts with the association I have saved the taxpayers over $3 million to date fighting excessive and illegal taxes. As a school administrator I have balanced many budgets. My opponent, as school board chair of Silver Grove Schools, balances her budget on the backs of the taxpayers. Silver Grove Schools, with less than 200 students, has the highest tax rate in the state accompanied with the fourth lowest test

scores.

For the last 15 months my wife and I have visited taxpayers in every city. I know the issues and concerns by also meeting with city officials and appointed board members. I have prepared for the position I seek. I have demonstrated the willingness to stand for and with the taxpayers and my convictions of less government, less regulations and low taxes. John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan both proved these principles of government work best.

Court of Appeals needs NKY member This November, voters in the 6th District (essentially, the 21 counties north of Louisville) will choose a judge to fill one of Northern Kentucky’s two Justine seats on Sanders the Court COMMUNITY of ApRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST peals.

Two issues matter in this race: fair representation for Northern Kentucky, and real courtroom experience.

When citizens are involved in disputes, charged with a crime,

wrongfully injured, divorce, adopt a child, or encounter countless other difficulties, they turn to the state court system for justice. Businesses rely on the courts to address disputes, too.

If a losing party disagrees with the trial court’s outcome or procedure, what can they do?

The Court of Appeals determines whether the lower court followed proper procedures and reached a fair decision.

Virtually every case decided in Kentucky’s circuit courts, and many from the district courts, are subject to such appellate review. Beyond that is the Kentucky Supreme Court, but it selects to hear only a fraction of

cases. Thus, many important legal issues are decided, with finality, by the Court of Appeals.

The Kentucky Constitution requires election of Court of Appeals judges by district to assure that no region of the commonwealth has an unfair advantage over another. Many legal issues pit regional priorities against one another.

The question, for example, of whether state funds should be used here to replace the Brent Spence Bridge, or on a competing project for Louisville, could end up before the Court of Appeals. How confident could one be in the fairness of its decision if Louisville had three

Questions need to be answered As the chairman of the Campbell County Democratic Party, I am proud to emphasize the fact, the quality and the vision of the candidates running to serve all the citizens of Campbell County.

Paul L. These Whalen men and women COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST are seekCOLUMNIST ing your vote on Nov. 4, in order to bring transparency, savings and better county and legislative services to all of the citizens of Campbell County.

Democrats are running to bring to the forefront issues which need to be addressed in order to move Campbell County forward. To do this, questions need to be answered in order to determine what the candidate’s vision is for Campbell County. Here are a few of those questions. » Should the Fiscal Court review regional agreements to see if they

are working as intended?

For example, Ken Rechtin has suggested that, since legislation creating SD1 is from 1947, there needs to be a review of the governance structure of SD1. » Why did the incumbent judge-executive and the Republican commissioners support sending money from the state for the river cities of Newport, Bellevue, Dayton and Fort Thomas for a walking trail in Covington? (Covington isn’t in Campbell County is it?) » Why are the Republican candidates for Fiscal Court supporting putting sewer lines through Camp Springs, which would destroy valuable farm land? » Why did Republican Wil Schroder II refuse to appear at Highland High School for a student sponsored forum with Jason Steffen? Shouldn’t a candidate welcome questions from all constituents? » Does the Republican candidate for county clerk intend to continue to practice law should he be elected?

Campbell County Democrats seeking elec-

tion in 2014 are doing so in order to help better their communities and, in doing so, raising questions when necessary.

Jason Steffen as state senator and Shae Hornback as state representative intend to go to the communities they represent in Campbell County and ask mayors and council people what projects need money from Frankfort prior to each legislative session. Both Steffen and Hornback intend to present these needs in writing to the appropriate legislative for appropriations.

It should be noted that Hornback’s opponent, the Republican incumbent, has never requested transportation or road money from the legislature in the decade plus he has been in the legislature.

I urge all Campbell County voters to take a look at who the “real fiscal conservatives” are in the contests for county and legislative election and vote for Campbell County Democrats.

Paul L. Whalen Chair, Campbell County Democratic Party

judges on the court and Northern Kentucky had only one? Northern Kentuckians can best assure fair representation by electing a Northern Kentucky judge.

I am the only candidate in this race born and bred in the 6th District. I have spent a career arguing cases before its judges and juries. My opponent spent the bulk of her career as a Louisville lawyer, rarely, if ever, practicing in the 6th District.

I am the only candidate who has litigated both criminal and civil cases in real courtrooms.

I have prosecuted baby killers, child abusers, animal torturers, drug dealers, and thieves. For

my entire professional life, I have represented Northern Kentucky citizens, families, and business owners in civil proceedings before trial courts, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court.

My opponent touts “judicial experience” because Governor Steve Beshear appointed her to fill a brief vacancy until voters select their own judge. She has never won an election. She has little, if any, trial experience, criminal practice, or familiarity representing everyday people.

Those working in the trenches of law enforcement, public safety, and the justice system know the expertise required of

appellate judges. My dedication and expertise earned the endorsement of the Kentucky State Fraternal Order of Police and IAFF firefighters.

Kentucky’s best prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and civil litigators, from both the plaintiff and defense sides, overwhelmingly support me.

I am Northern Kentucky’s only candidate. I ask you to vote Sanders for Court of Appeals on Nov. 4.

Justin Sanders, a partner at the Sanders Law Firm in Covington and resident of Fort Wright, is running for judge of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, 6th District, First Division.

Voting your wallet at polls in November Voters have overwhelmingly elected Republican candidates at the federal level.

To do this requires many in the lower half of the economThomas ic specVance trum to vote COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST RepubCOLUMNIST lican, even though Republican economic policy mostly hurts the middle class and the poor.

The upcoming midterm elections have Republicans thinking they can take the House and are dreaming of the governorship when the term of Gov. Steve Beshear is over.

Kentucky Republicans, in articles in the Sept. 3 and Sept. 13 editions of The Kentucky Enquirer, have released the Republican platform for the November elections. Republicans are calling it, “Handshake with Kentucky.”

They talk about re-

pealing the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. This would shut down the Kynect health insurance exchange and take health insurance away from roughly 500,000 of Kentucky’s citizens who now have health insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Republicans want a constitutional amendment that would, “prohibit any person, employer or health care provider from being compelled to participate in any health care system.” Not only do they not want the federal government to help you get health Insurance, but they want it to have the force of law.

They announced they want to pass a so-called “right to work” bill which has nothing to do with the right to work and everything to do with weakening the power of unions to protect worker rights and wages. States (mostly red) with these kinds of laws have overall lower wages and benefits than states without them.

They want to create a

board to review your malpractice claim before it can go forward.

Never mind that a judge does this already. I wonder if there will be patients or business types on these review boards?

As always they want to cut taxes again. We just had a shortfall of the last budget, so it is hard to imagine how cutting taxes will help matters.

In Kansas, Republicans went tax cutting crazy and have caused panic because the state’s credit rating has been lowered three times by their actions. We do not need any financial shenanigans like that here.

Those of us who struggle every day to feed our families and make ends meet have the power to stop the inequality posed and supported by Republican economic policies.

Those who think it matters little how they vote need to awaken to the reality that, similar to Kentucky’s state motto, united we stand, divided we get ripped off!

DAY CARE CENTER OFFERS EDUCATION AND MORE

The Growing Place getting nods for helping kids ‘learn more than just how to play’

By Kamellia Soenjoto Smith Community Recorder contributor

INDEPENDENCE — Thinking of having a night out without the kids? The Growing Place, a day care center in Independence, may be able to help.

On Oct. 24 they are hosting Friday Night Fun Night, when you can drop your kids off and feel free to dance the night away.

“They can go out and know that their kids will be taken care of,” said Aimee Glover, owner and director of the center. She has been working in child care for 13 years.

Friday Night Fun Night will take place between 6:30 and 10 p.m. Parents must pre-register, at a cost of $15 per child. “We provide the activities, entertainment, and dinner,” Glover explained. You can register online at thegrowingplacellc@gmail .com, or call 859-359-3318.

But the center, located at 6367 Taylor Mill Road in Independence, offers parents more than just the opportunity for a “date night.”

“I’ve been at a couple different day cares. This one, by far, has been the best for his education,” said Megan Swope, who enrolled her 2-year-old son Griffin at the center. She drives all the way from her home in Grants Lick in Campbell County, but she said that it’s worth the effort.

“He came in not really speaking, and he started recognizing letters, the sounds that they

make, and recognizing shapes, all within a month,” she continued. “He’s talking more now.”

Now when she picks him up, Griffin just wants to stay and play. “That wasn’t him before.”

Penny Wood of Independence also noticed the enthusiasm in her grandson, 3-year-old Liam. “He’s excited to get up and come here every day,” she shared.

Amber Boorom of Independence is impressed with her son’s progress. “Just in a short amount of time, Grayson has learned to count to 10 in Spanish.

He almost can spell his name, and he’s only 3 years old.”

The Growing Place opened in August, and the number of kids coming to the center continues to grow.

“We want parents to walk away feeling like they didn’t waste their money, and that we’re not just babysitting,” explained Glover. “If they can recommend us to another family, then I’m happy because I know that we did our job.”

The center provides preschool program for children 2 to 4 years old. “We have kindercare for kindergartners that go to public schools, but we keep them in the mornings or in the afternoons when they’re finished with kindergarten,” Glover said. In addition, the center offers before- and after-school care for school-aged children.

“Our main goal is to take care of the children,” she said. “And help them learn more than just how to play.”

Apple butter’s secret ingredient uncorked Well, it’s done. The entire veggie garden is now nothing but a flat field, ready to be plowed under for the winter.

Pumpkins and gourds have replaced the pots of herbs and flowers near the doorways. Just for fun, I put a little pumpkin display by the chicken coop. It will be interesting to see how long Rita it’s undisHeikenfeld turbed by RITA’S KITCHEN the nightly four-footed marauders.

I’m hoping to get to our local farmers’ market this week to make this really good and welltested recipe for apple butter. What I love about this apple butter is its purity – just apples, juice, sugar if you like, and warming spices. But there is a secret ingredient.

Crockpot apple butter

Wow, this recipe has been making the rounds lately. My oldest and best friend, Carol Spry Vanover (you probably feel like you know her, I’ve mentioned her that much!) first told me about this.

Carol received a bunch of apples from a friend and made apple butter. Except for her “secret” ingredient, I couldn’t believe Carol’s is the

Grant supports AniMeals program

Senior Services of Northern Kentucky has received a grant of $5,000 from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation to support AniMeals.

AniMeals provides food and supplies for dogs and cats of home-bound seniors who must share their limited food and resources with their fourlegged friends. “Too often seniors will go hungry in order to feed their pets,” said Jay VanWinkle, executive director of SSNK.

same recipe I used years ago when we had an apple orchard. Wonderful for sharing with family and friends. One other thought: I don’t add as much sugar as it calls for.

14 nice sized apples 2 cups apple juice or pure apple cider 1 cup sugar or however much you want, for each pint of sieved cooked fruit (see below) 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon each ground allspice and cloves for each pint of sieved cooked fruit (see below) 1/2 cup “secret” ingredient: sweet white wine – Carol used Moscato (optional) Directions: Core and quarter apple (do not peel). Combine with juice in sprayed crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 2-4 hours. When fruit is tender, you’ve cooked it long enough.

Put through food mill to remove peel.

Measure cooked fruit and return to crock pot.

For each pint of fruit, add up to 1 cup of sugar or other sweetener, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Stir well.

Cover and cook again on high for 6-8 hours, stirring about every 2 hours.

Remove cover after 3 hours or more to allow to cook down to a very thick puree. Add wine during last hour of cooking.

Spoon into hot sterilized jars and process according to boiling water bath canning method or cool completely and store in freezer up to 1 year or frig up to a month. Makes close to 6 cups.

Use a combination of apples if you can, some sweet, some tart. The only one I’d steer clear of is red delicious since the flavor doesn’t carry through.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Readers want to know: Floating “severed hands” for Halloween punch.

Fill clear plastic gloves (not powdered) with your favorite beverage. I like red fruit punch or something clear. If desired, before pouring into glove, stir in a few drops of red food coloring. Tie gloved hand with a rubber band, securely tightened. Place on cookie sheet. If you like, place over a small plastic bowl to create a “clutching” hand. Freeze until hard. To remove from glove, cut below knot and peel back glove.

To assure you don’t break off fingers, use scissors

COOPER HIGH SCHOOL

to cut around fingers.

Place in punch right before serving.

“The Ultimate Meat Resource: Cook’s Illustrated Meat” book. No kidding, put this hard cover beauty on your wish list, or grab a copy now. This comprehensive “bible” of meat cookery is just what I’d expect from Cook’s. You’ll feel like you’re in a cooking class with each recipe, they are that detailed and tested umpteen times until the word that describes the recipe is “perfect.” From slow roasted bone-in pork roast to the perfect roast turkey and everything in between, nothing is left to chance. There’s also a wealth of tips throughout.

ColorFall’s website, bit.ly/kyfallcolor, provides a variety of information about the state’s beauty at this time of year, including reports on stages of leaf changes from naturalists at parks

UC Health offers the following Medicare Advantage Plans: • Aetna • Humana Choice • UnitedHealthcare* *UnitedHealthcare and UC Health are currently engaged in contract negotiations and have yet to reach agreement for a new contract scheduled to begin Jan. 1, 2015.

COLORFALL NKY REPORT BIG BONE LICK STATE HISTORIC SITE, OCT. 15

Significant, rapid-paced color change is occurring, but the transformation is inconsistent. Sugar maple, hickory, sweet gum and sassafras trees are at or near peak coloration in isolated pockets, but the overall peak is still more than a week away. A widespread frost and bright sunshine is now needed to advance the hardwoods to peak color.

Owing to the variability of the weather this fall, Northern Kentucky’s peak of color will likely appear more like a patchwork quilt, with localized peaks occurring at different times in specific areas.

Dean Henson

throughout the commonwealth. Website visitors will also find listings of special fall events and an Instagram hashtag for uploading digital photos of your own fall travels.

The program, including the website, runs through Nov. 9.

Dean Henson, park

manager at Big Bone Lick State Historic Site and a former naturalist, says many variables contribute to the degree of foliage color in any given fall season. “The greater the frequency of crisp, sunny days with no evening frost, the more brilliant our colors,” he says.

Question: My arborvitae evergreen trees are dying at the top, and they have numerous 2-inch, spindle-shaped, elongated “cones” hanging from the branches. I have seen similar cones on my nearby Norway Spruce tree, which also has some missing needles and branch browning.

Mike Is there Klahr anything I HORTICULTURE can do to CONCERNS save the trees?

Answer: Arborvitae cones are only ½-inch long, and Norway Spruce cones are 6-inch long, so what you are seeing on your trees are actually bagworm “bags.” Picking the bags off by hand and disposing of them is actually the best way to control bagworms in the fall, winter and early spring before the eggs hatch in May. When many small

bagworms are infesting evergreens, an insecticide may be needed to prevent serious damage.

The best time to apply an insecticide is while the larvae are still small (less than ½-inch long).

In Kentucky, this is usually in early June. Preventive treatment in the spring is often justified on plants that were heavily infested the previous year.

Bagworms are the larval (caterpillar) stage of a moth that is rarely seen. They pass the winter as eggs inside the bag that contained the previous year’s female. In mid to late May, the eggs hatch, and the tiny larvae

crawl out from the end of the bag in search of food.

They soon construct a small, cone-like pouch or bag around their hind part. Older larvae strip evergreens of their needles and consume whole leaves of susceptible deciduous species, leaving only the larger veins.

Bagworms have two means of dispersing from plant to plant. Very young larvae may spin strands of silk and be carried fairly long distances by wind. Larger larvae may move short distances by crawling.

Simple steps can help you boost home energy efficiency

October is National Energy Awareness Month. This annual national effort underscores energy’s importance to our prosperity, security and environment.

Heating and cooling systems use the Diane most enerMason gy in most EXTENSION homes.

NOTES Tune up your heating system for the winter and check weather-stripping and caulking, too. Homes can benefit from upgrades like adding insulation or sealing air leaks.

You also can reduce your energy use and lower your energy costs by changing your behaviors.

Two simple changes are turning off lights when you leave a room and lowering the thermostat on your water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Other behavior-based energy use depends on products you use. An Energy Star-labeled product is designed to meet strict energy use guidelines and will use less energy than products without the label. When replacing or shopping for new appliances or electronic items, look for the Energy Star label. Remember, the cost of any product has three components: the purchase price, the cost to use the product and the pollution gen-

erated by the product.

Your utility company may provide rebates for energy efficiency improvements. Contact your energy provider for details. State tax credits also may be available.
