BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Crestview Hills ballot a mix of experience

By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

CRESTVIEW HILLS — Seven candidates are vying for the six available Crestview Hills City Council seats in the November election.

Newcomer Tim Adair is running for the first time, after serving as a citizen member of the city’s finance committee for more than a year.

“It’s good to give something back,” said Adair, a banker who has lived in Crestview Hills for eight years.

“We have a very strong City Council and a strong city, and I want to get my name out there as a person who wants to be of service to the community.”

Council member Colleen Collins Bright said she has pretty much been a lifelong city resident.

She was elected six years ago and carries on a tradition of community services started by her parents, Tom and Jerri Collins, who both served on City Council.

“It’s a family legacy thing.

We were just raised that way – to get involved wherever you lived,” said Bright. “We need to keep a close eye on what we’re spending and how we’re spending it. I think our residents get an amazing bang for their buck.”

Incumbent David Kramer has lived in Crestview Hills since 1988 and was elected to council in 2000.

“I initially ran because of a desire to get involved and have more of a hand guiding things in our city. I have a desire for public service,” said Kramer. He said the city’s biggest issue is “maintaining high quality services with low

taxes.”

Council member Ralph Laird has served on City Council since the 1980s and has lived in Crestview Hills

since 1974.

He said a former council member asked him to run, and he’s “learned a lot since then.”

“Right now, we are working on repairing a large portion of our city’s cement streets. That kind of work needs to continue,” said Laird.

“We need to keep taking care of people and our businesses.”

VILLA HILLS — When planning the Villa Hills Commemorative Garden, Villa Hills Garden Club members snaked a garden hose around the grounds at the city’s public works building to shape the plot.

“We wanted something flowing from the hill and something big enough,” said Barbara Sondgerath, a garden club member.

After three years the commemorative garden, which is lo-

cated across the street from the Villa Hills City Building, is becoming a reality.

Ground broke for project the week of Sept. 17, with members of the Villa Hills Garden Club lining up with gold shovels to celebrate.

The garden, which should be finished in about a month, was financed through fundraisers and donations.

“We did it with plant sales, a wine tasting, garden tours and just out-right donations,” Sondgerath said. “People here have

been really generous with their time and their money.”

“It’s a gift to the residents,” said Martha Lange, president of the Villa Hills Garden Club.

Lange said Villa Hills residents are invited to buy pavers that will be incorporated in to the garden’s design, which includes a paved patio.

Engraved 4-by-8 inch pavers are $30.

Limestone 8-by-8 inch pavers run $100.

Mayor removal standard unclear in Ky. Villa Hills hearing could last for days

By Libby Cunningham Lcunningham@nky.com

VILLA HILLS — Villa Hills is a Northern Kentucky city that’s home to a house divided.

The cinderblock building at 719 Rogers Road will house a hearing at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8 that could result in the removal of Mayor Mike Martin, the climax of tensions between Villa Hills City Council and the city’s chief

executive.

A standard for removing Kentucky mayors is vague at best.

Although procedures are permitted to mirror full-fledged trials, complete with attorneys and subpoenaed witnesses, no standard’s been set for how little is actually required, said Laura Ross, legal services counsel with the Kentucky League of Cities.

“We know that they have a right to a full public hearing, we know the officer has the right to appeal to the circuit court,” Ross

said.

This means that although city councilors say they’re taking all the precautions they can to ensure Martin gets due process, it may not be necessary.

“It’s a hard question to answer because we don’t have any case law that specifically speaks to a removal hearing that was too informal,” Ross explained.

In theory, a city council could simply vote to remove a mayor after a routine public hearing.

VILLA HILLS — An additional viewing area will be offered during a hearing that could determine whether the city’s mayor stays in office.

The Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky (TBNK) will provide live audio and video in the Villa Hills City Garage for those interested in seeing the removal hearing that could oust Mayor Mike Martin.

Villa Hills Council Chambers will have limited seating during the removal hearing, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8, because fire code limits seating in that room to 50 occupants.

The hearing will also be broadcast on television on TBNK channel 15. Although the hearing starts on Oct. 8 it will be broadcast every night until it is finished.

tucky League of Cities five years ago, Ross says she can only remember one city that has successfully removed its mayor.

Corydon, Ky., ousted Mayor Larry Thurby as recently as this summer.

According to Enquirer archives, Dayton Mayor Bobby Crittendon was removed in 2000. In 1997 Williamstown Mayor Bob Jones was removed.

Villa Hills Councilman Scott Ringo says that the removal hearing isn’t just to get rid of Martin because citizens “have a right to know who’s running their city.”

For Ringo, a worst-case scenario is that Martin is found guilty on his charges, but not voted out of office.

“We may or may not have enough votes for removal, but a hearing is to hear the facts,” he said. “…

It’s important that citizens know about the situations he’s put us in so that they can make a logical decision come next election. He may run for office again.”

Three other councilors echo Ringo’s sentiments, with George Bruns, Greg Kilburn and Tim Sogar saying that the price tag on the removal hearing, $36,000, could’ve been avoided if Martin had answered the investigator’s questions instead of evading them.

And despite residents raising occasionally heated opinions on how much the city is spending these officials deny that funds have been wasted.

“I would ask them this question. What would they do if they were in our place when they had credible evidence brought to them, that state laws and ordinances would be broken?” Kilburn said, adding council is do-

want to participate in how that continues to work.”

Incumbent Ken Palmer, a city resident for almost 18 years, is completing his first council term.

Palmer said he was involved on several committees and regularly attended council meetings before he decided to run.

“Financially, I think the city is in pretty good shape,” he said. “What we’re looking at now is traffic patterns, and trying to address congestion problems on Turkeyfoot.

That’s our biggest issue now and it will be for the next six months or so.”

Council member Frank ing what it has to do.

“Would they turn a blind eye, or would they get the truth?”

In September 2011 council hired private attorneys Phil Taliaferro and Anna Hines, members of Covington law firm Taliaferro, Carran and Keyes, to investigate the mayor. For the removal hearing the firm is slashing the normal hourly fee of $225 and charging the city $150 an hour.

Taliaferro and Hines say the investigation has uncovered enough to remove Martin.

But some councilors and residents say it’s not likely. Under Kentucky law, a unanimous vote is required to oust a mayor.

With two councilmen voting against all of the nine charges placed on Martin, chances are he could remain in office.

Councilman Jim Noll said that although he’s keeping an open mind about what will be revealed at the removal hearing, which could go on for several days, as it stands he hasn’t seen enough proof of wrongdoing to vote to remove Martin.

Mike Pope, who also voted against the charges, declined to comment on the issue.

Background

It’s no secret that the public’s perception of the removal hearing of embattled Mayor Mike Martin likens it to a seige between two war camps: those for and those against the mayor.

Nine charges have been brought against Martin.

They include accusations of burning of unaccounted public documents, placing reprimands on Police Chief Dan Goodenough’s personnel file in retaliation and telling Public Works Director Derrick Yelton to “go ahead” and open the city safe with a backhoe.

Sommerkamp Jr. said his work experience led to his local political interest.

“In my professional life, I had been a lobbyist, and I became enamored with government at all levels.

When I found I had the time and talent to devote to my city, I decided to run,” said Sommerkamp, who has lived in Crestview Hills since 1994 and was elected to council in 1996.

“I think our biggest issue is always keeping taxes low and providing the services residents need,” he said.

Martin Martin, who’s been tight-lipped about the situation, wrote in a text message that his attorney doesn’t want him doing any interviews at this time regarding his possible removal.

But Martin is talking to his attorney, Todd McMurtry, who slammed the opposing counsel with a Sept.

25 letter saying that as executive of the city Martin should preside over all meetings, including his own removal hearing.

Taliaferro fired back on Sept. 28 with a 19-page response, saying it’s unethical for Martin to oversee his own removal hearing.

Residents react

Villa Hills residents are feeling the heat of the removal hearings and looking for a better future at home. Many remember when Villa Hills was named America’s Most Liveable City in 1994.

Summer Berger, who spoke at September’s City Council meeting, said council members haven’t given Martin a chance from the get-go.

“I’m feeling confident that the City Council is not going to prevail,” she said.

“I feel like City Council is going to be exposed and from there, I’m looking forward to November.

Still Berger says the situation is embarrassing as a resident. Some homes in Villa Hills sport signs in support of Martin or asking him to resign, which has sparked questions from people who don’t even live there.

“I had a UPS guy come to the door and I was so embarrassed because he asked me about the signs,” Berger said. “I said ‘We made signs in support of the mayor.’”

Loraine Braun says that Martin is putting the city in jeopardy regardless of whether he has enough votes to be booted from office.

“I think it’s important to go through with the hearing ... this isn’t about Mayor Martin getting elected. It’s what he’s done since he’s been elected,” Braun said.

“There are things that are very disturbing.”

School board members up for re-election with Beechwood Independent Schools say they hope they will be able to continue to fulfill their duties with the district which include upgrading technology and keeping up with academic standards.

Stricker is a Beechwood graduate who says she decided to run to give back to the community.

“We have a unique school district that’s hard to understand unless you’ve been part of it,” Stricker said.

If re-elected she says she plans to help the school move forward with renovations, including a new cafeteria. Recently the elementary school opened a new wing.

The district is also moving forward with using technology to assist

Janitor charged in workplace homicide

BURLINGTON — A selfemployed janitor hired to clean a Boone County office was charged Sept. 27 with killing an office employee he had befriended.

David Dooley, 38, of Burlington is charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence for removing something from the crime scene, said Boone County sheriff’s spokesman Tom Scheben.

Michelle Mockbee, 42, of Fort Mitchell, was found dead at about 7:20 a.m. May 29 at Thermo Fisher Scientific, located at the Northern Kentucky Industrial Park in unincorporated Boone County.

She had worked at the distribution center for hospital laboratory supplies for 16 years and was a logis-

tics support representative at the time of her death.

Scheben would not comment on a motive or say how Mockbee was killed.

Dooley was arrested Sept. 27 at the sheriff’s office after being brought in for additional questioning, Scheben said. Dooley was taken to the Boone County jail, where he was being held Sept. 27 on a $500,000 bond.

He previously served two prison terms, one for receiving stolen property and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon in 1996 and one for theft by deception in 1994.

Mockbee’s tearful younger sister, Jennifer Schneider, expressed relief and sadness immediately following Dooley’s arrest.

I mean we knew it was coming. We didn’t know when. We are very glad he is behind bars – that is where he needs to be.”

Dooley and his wife, Janet Dooley, worked as a contracted cleaning crew at the company for the past several years. Soon after the killing the company stopped using outside contractors to clean, Scheben said.

A woman who answered the phone at Thermo Fisher Scientific said the company had no immediate comment.

School Board after longtime member Joe Menez left earlier this year, agrees.

“We want to get to the level with the availability for up-to-date or new study protocols to prepare for standardized testing for middle school and early high school,” Savignano said.

Independence Courthouse turns 100

By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

INDEPENDENCE — The best-known building in Independence is celebrating a big birthday.

The Centennial Celebration for the Independence Courthouse will be 5-8 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 12, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13.

“I think the Independence Courthouse is the crown jewel of Kenton County,” said Deputy Judge-executive Mark Kreimborg, who has been organizing the event with a committee. “It’s marking the 100th birthday of this beautiful building that is

special to everyone in Kenton County.”

The Centennial Celebration is free to the public, and will feature local history exhibits and tours of the historic courthouse, including the seldom-seen second floor.

“The second floor is offices, and there’s a conference room. The Independence Police Department used to be up there, and it’s been cordoned off for years, but people are interested to see it,” he said.

Kreimborg, a lifelong resident of Kenton County, said he’d like to see the event continue as an annual festival.

According to the Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky, published in 2009, the Independence Courthouse was established with the new formation of Kenton County in 1842 to celebrate the county’s independence from Campbell County. After a courthouse was also built in the thriving city of Covington, dual county-seat status was confirmed by1860, and the current courthouse was dedicated in October 1912.

Kreimborg said the event will include Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arlinghaus reading a proclamation at 1 p.m. Saturday followed by presen-

tations from other local leaders.

Independence Mayor Chris Moriconi said he has a lot of pride in the courthouse as a local icon, and that it represents the city as well as the county.

“It’s really representative of Independence although it’s a county building. It’s instantly recognizable when you see it on TV. It’s a beautiful building and we’re proud of it,” he said.

“It wasn’t long ago that we had our City Council meetings there. During my first few years as mayor, we had offices all over. The police department was in the second floor, which is what led us to build the city building we have now. We have a lot of history with that building. When you were in there having a council meeting, it had a unique historic feel.”

Moriconi said the scenic building would make a great postcard.

“It’s beautiful, especially at night,” he said. “When you’re driving by and the cupola is glowing with the lights on, it kind of makes you pause and feel fortunate that we have that in our city.”

Event organizers hope to honor Kenton County’s centenarian residents, age 100 years or older. For more

For qualifying women mammograms are free.

Free exams for qualifying women are available thanks to a grant from Susan B. Komen For the Cure.

Thomas More College presents ‘The Little Prince’

CommunityPress.com

CELEBRATING KENTUCKY’S KIDS

By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

CRESTVIEW HILLS — “The Little Prince” has been a beloved story since it was published in 1943, and now it’s coming to life onstage at Thomas More College.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's charming tale of an aviator’s transforming experience with a mysterious regal little boy will be the first production of the season for Thomas More’s Villa Players on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5-7.

Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m., and curtain is 2 p.m. for the Sunday matinee.

Director Jim Nelson said the show gave him an unique opportunity.

“I read the book 30 years ago and loved it. I had no idea someone had made it into a play,” he said. “It’s a great story. It’s a little different, and it gave us the chance to use a lot of new people.”

He said the play and the story share the same message, “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

“It’s appropriate for kids, but it’s about life lessons. It’s a story I’ve loved for years, and I’m glad that we’re bringing it to more people,” said Nelson, who has taught theater, literature, acting and production at the college for 31 years. He was also a Thomas More student.

Nelson said the theater program has planned a new entry, which should be constructed soon. The new entry, inside the same building as the school’s library, will include informative display space.

A general admission ticket costs $10, but discounts are available for students, staff and faculty. Season ticket subscriptions are also available. Tickets are available for purchase online at thomasmore.edu/theatre.

jweber@nky.com

EDGEWOOD — After a ground-

breaking 2011, the Dixie Heights girls soccer team is expecting to win this year. So much so that the wins sometimes come from unexpected origins.

Junior Anna Tobias lifted the Colonels to one of their biggest wins of the year, scoring with four minutes left to give Dixie a 2-1 win over St. Henry Sept. 27 in Erlanger.

“It was a fun game,” said Dixie head coach Curt Critcher. “It was a very competitive game. Both teams probably felt like they could have put in another goal here and there. It was a lot of fun.”

With four minutes left, Dixie senior Chrissy Wolking lofted a long shot past the Crusader defense. The ball rolled slowly to the goal line and Tobias beat several St. Henry defenders there to tap it in. Tobias, a first-year starter, earned her first varsity goal just a couple of minutes after substituting back in following a brief rest.

“The ball came in and I was in the right place at the right time,” Tobias said. “I was lucky but hard work pays off. It was a big win for us.”

The win gave Dixie a record of 11-4-1, one year after the Colonels posted a landmark 18-5-1 record

JAMES WEBER/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

and reached the state quarterfinals, beating the Crusaders along the way.

The game was a district contest in the new reconfigured 34th District, as soccer is now aligned to match the groupings of baseball and basketball. Dixie will play Ludlow the week of Oct. 8 in the postseason tourney.

“We have played some good competition in the last few weeks and we’ve played well at times,” Critcher said. “It seems as if we’re coming together as a unit more than we did earlier. We had kids who really competed tonight, and I’m really proud of them.”

The Colonels have a veteran team with 10 seniors, including many who started in last year’s postseason run. Dixie started

eight of the seniors against St. Henry, and the other two were out with injury. Senior starters were Anna Crosthwaite, Ali Critcher, Courney Landrum, Anna Ochs, Erin Snyder, Chrissy Wolking, Lizzy Wolking and Morgan Ryle, Ashley Meek and Jamie Witherall were injured.

Snyder is in her second year as starting goalkeeper. Ryle is the sweeper and Landrum the starter. The Wolking sisters are veteran starters. Critcher is one of the team’s leading scorers and a playmaker in the middle.

Sophomore Lauren Nemeroff, one of the area’s top forwards, scored the first goal for Dixie in the first half.

“Nemo is a great player,” See DIXIE, Page A9

Blake Adkins played in the state golf tournament as a freshman, and three years later he finally will get a second chance there.

After narrowly missing a berth in the state tourney the previous two seasons, the Dixie Heights senior left no doubt Sept. 25 at Boone Links Golf Course in Burlington. The Colonel was individual champion with a 74 in the boys Region 7 tourney. He will play in the state meet Oct. 5 in Bowling Green.

“It’s awesome. It’s my senior year,” he said. “I just played more consistent today. I was focused just on making it to state.

I wasn’t planning on being the medalist. I wanted to get to state for my senior year.”

Adkins had missed a state berth by a combined three shots as a sophomore and junior. In his final regional, he rebounded from a double bogey on hole 7 and a bogey on 8 to string a lot of pars before holing a 12-foot birdie putt on 18 to secure the eventual winning margin. Four players tied for second place with 75.

“I usually have a lot of birdies and a lot of bogies. I’m usually not that consistent with a lot of pars,” he said. “I want to make the cut at state. Freshman year, I missed the cut by one and didn’t play so well.”

Head coach Paul Treadway said his senior was in a good zone at the regional.

“For him, it was just focus,” Treadway said. “He has a tendency to stray, and when he keeps his eye on the ball and stays committed, he’s probably the best player in the area. I think he had an 84 here at the Rebel Classic.”

Dixie Heights sophomore Megan Mauer will also play at state. The girls tourney starts Oct. 2, also in Bowling Green.

Mauer shot an 81 to tie for third individually in the girls Region 6 tourney at Kenton County Pioneer to grab an individual spot at state.

“I’ve worked really hard and it has paid off. I worked the whole summer and I’ve been looking forward to this,” she said. “I wasn’t really too good off the tee and my putting saved me today. I made a few par putts and a birdie here and there.”

75 at Kenton County Fox Run, another of the three 18-hole layouts at the Independence complex, is looking forward to the experience.

“I just want to stay focused and play the game I know I can play,” she said.

Covington Catholic won the boys regional for the third straight year, edging Ryle by three shots, 309 to 312. The two teams had traded close wins all season.

In the regional, Brett Bauereis and Austin Beck shot 75, with Bauereis taking the second place trophy after a fourway playoff with two Ryle players who also shot 75.

“Winning three years in a row is awesome and we hope to make it four in a row next year,” Bauereis said. “Everybody stepped up today and pulled it together. Everybody made a big putt on the last hole and that was big.”

Sophomore Paul Huber shot a 77. Senior Alex Scanlon had 82 and Merik Berling an 85.

“That was our strength the whole year, being able to have our four or five guys do something,” said CCH head coach Robb Schneeman. “We didn’t count on Paul, being a sophoSee GOLF, Page A9

Pandas take long journey to postseason

By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com

PARK HILLS — For all of the local, statewide, and national respect earned by the Notre Dame Academy volleyball program, there are still some things that the program has not accomplished.

Yes, the Pandas consistently play in several of the country’s most elite regular season tournaments. True, other cities’ local newspapers, like the Chicago Sun-Times, refer to Notre Dame as a “Kentucky powerhouse.” Yet, this year’s team has plenty to prove and several unchecked goals to accomplish.

At this point, there are very

DIVING IN

few firsts for the program to achieve. Recently, the Pandas were able to do something no previous Notre Dame team had done. In the program’s fourth trip to the Asics Challenge in Chicago, the Pandas posted a perfect Friday night and advanced to the second day of the tournament unblemished.

“We have always lost once on Friday night,” said head coach Andrea Lanham. “We really wanted to win out on Friday night.”

Not only did the Pandas win all of their matches on Friday, but they advanced to the tournament’s title match, where they were defeated by fellow Kentucky power Assumption.

Through Sept. 30, the Pandas are 26-6 on the season. Only three of those losses have come to Kentucky schools. Notre Dame has now been defeated twice by Assumption. The Pandas also lost once to Ninth Region rival St. Henry.

“Against St. Henry, we just never grabbed momentum,” said Lanham.

On Oct. 3, Notre Dame will face Assumption for the third time this season. The experience the Pandas have gained playing in the Asics Challenge and, earlier in the season, in the Las Vegas Invitational Tournament, have prepared Notre Dame for the games that matter most.

Critcher said. “She has great ball skills and quickness. She did a great job on our first goal.

She’s tough to defend.”

Dixie was set to host Notre Dame Oct. 1 as the Colonels hope to keep momentum into the postseason after the St. Henry win.

“They understand what it takes and how high a level you have to play in games like this,” Critcher said. “And we have to step it up even more if we get a chance to play them again.”

St. Henry dropped to 10-4-2.

Senior Libby Leedom had the goal for the Crusaders, giving her 16 for the year and 102 for her St. Henry career. That ties her with Boone County’s Tina Lindon (1987-89) in the state record books.

more, to have a big score but he stepped up today. We knew it was going to be this way (against Ryle). We knew it was going to be two to three strokes either way.”

Notre Dame was not as fortunate in keeping a streak alive, as the Pandas had their streak of nine straight Region 6 titles end. Notre Dame will still go to state after finishing second by three shots to Owen County.

“I’m proud of the girls,” said NDA head coach Karen Henderson. “Owen County definitely deserved it, but I’m proud of the way my girls played. We’ll regroup and go down to state and try to represent the area as best we can. We have several girls who have gone to state, so we’re looking forward to it.”

for the Bearcats to take over as Northern Kentucky’s all-time leading scorer.

“You can’t think of her season without considering her whole career,” said St. Henry head coach Steve Lorenz.

“She’s a phenomenally talented player. When she came in as a freshman, she came into a very talented, experienced group so we didn’t need to rely on her all the time. The past couple of years we are more dependent on her. She is the focus of every opponent we play and she continues to produce, which is a credit to the effort she puts in.”

The Dixie loss marked only the third time St. Henry has allowed two goals in a game, and Lorenz lamented some rare defensive breakdowns that helped Dixie score those goals.

“It was very frustrating because I felt like we did a good job of containing them,” Lorenz said. “Nemoroff and Critcher are very dangerous players and we made a couple of mistakes and it cost us.”

Early college gives a head start The recent 2020 Jobs Outlook Report jointly produced by Vision 2015 and Agenda 360 provided trend data that are extremely useful to people who are planning to enter the job market in the next few years – and for the parents, educators and others who may be advising them.

Fact No. 1: The report found that occupations related to health care, education, business, finance, technology and production rank in that order as the fastest-growing and best-paying careers.

Fact No. 2: Postsecondary education is required to land a well-paying job. According to the report, nine out of 10 jobs paying $33,130 a year or more will require some combination of postsecondary education, on-the-job training and/or work experience beyond one year.

The message is clear: If you want a good job, you have to

develop the skills employers want. Beyond technical skills and computer proficiency, employers want people who can gather, G. Edward process and Hughes communicate COMMUNITY information; RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST make decisions and solve problems; plan and organize their work; influence others; and work together in teams. This combination of technical and what used to be called “soft” skills is the focus of a community and technical college education.

It is never too soon to start building these skills. That is why Gateway has introduced the Gateway Regional Academy (GRA), an early college program that enables students to begin

earning college credits while they are still in high school.

The advantages are many.

A recent three-year study by the Community College Research Center at Columbia University revealed that students who enroll in early college programs in high school are more likely to go to college than their peers. They are also more likely to stay in college.

The study found that early college gives high school students a chance to see what college classes are like and boosts their confidence, which makes the transition from high school to college easier.

Currently, the Gateway Regional Academy is offering college classes to nearly 150 students from 17 Northern Kentucky public and parochial high schools, as well as students in home schools.

GRA students can earn up to

24 college credit hours at half Gateway tuition or less. Depending on the college classes they take, GRA students may complete nearly all of their first year of college while still in high school, saving the students time and money toward a two-year or four-year degree. Gateway’s credits transfer by law to any public university in Kentucky, and, because Gateway is regionally accredited, to virtually any other college or university in the country.

Any high school student, age 16 or older, who has the minimum required SAT, ACT, or COMPASS test scores may be admitted to the GRA. Gateway reserves specific classes for GRA students at its Boone and Edgewood Campuses and at the Urban Center in Covington. However, any Gateway class, including those online, is available to GRA students as long as they meet class

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Villa Hills needs 8 officers

Villa Hills City Ordinance 2010-8 calls for eight police officers for the city of Villa Hills.

There have been numerous reports of increased criminal activity in the city. The Safety Committee of the city has repeatedly requested that the ordinance be adhered to. City Council has repeatedly asked why the ordinance has not been adhered to.

The mayor still stubbornly refuses to adhere to the ordinance and yet certain citizens still support the actions of the mayor.

Where is the common sense in this situation?

Lois Hall Villa Hills

Plea to council

In response to the Libby Cunningham article that was in the Recorder last week where you are described as “looking to set a date for the removal hearing of the city’s mayor,” we are continually dismayed at the antics of the City Council members and this heinous attempt to overturn

the city official who was elected by the citizens of Villa Hills.

In the seven years we have lived in Villa Hills, we have noticed the continual reported arguments and accusations against the present mayor and his predecessor. The televised council meetings are full of criticisms and innuendos against the mayor.

Instead of doing the city’s business, the council is more intent in carrying out some hidden agenda to remove the mayor and not overseeing the carrying out of the city’s ordinances: reference the city’s auto license whereby admittedly, over half of the vehicles in Villa Hills were not paid. No one enforced the ordinance and council did not oversee (their obligation) why it was not done. That’s one example, there are others, such as how many businesses doing work in Villa Hills do not have city licenses and no one checks them.

The yard sign campaign to oust the major backfired and has been abandoned. A survey of yard signs in Villa Hills found that the people of Villa Hills overwhelmingly support the

mayor by a solid three-plus times ratio over the resignation plea. The best signs were the yellow signs that stated the council members should resign. What does that tell you?

The council members were

elected to do the city’s business, not spend their time and money harassing the elected mayor.

Maybe the council members should be vetted for misfeasance in office for using their official position to attack and injure another elected official without proof of criminal intent and ignoring the legal premise of innocent until proven guilty.

We recommend and urge the council to stop this harassment campaign and do the job for which they were elected. We wonder how much damage has been done to the status of Villa Hills because of this destructive and attempted character assassination on the mayor.

You spend thousands of dollars for lawyers to investigate the mayor and they returned with absolutely nothing; they did not even talk to the subject of investigation. Perhaps the qualifications of the lawyers to perform an investigation should be addressed. Perhaps the coming election will provide a change in the priorities and direction of the Villa Hills City Council.

GET SPOOKED Boofest on Redmans’ Farm in Morning View is a scary family tradition

By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

MORNING VIEW — The Redman family knows a lot about traditions.

Not only do three generations of family members work together on the 57-acre farm throughout the year, they also see generations of other families come every summer to stay at the riverside camps.

When temperatures begin to drop and leaves start changing color, it’s time for Boofest.

Every fall for the past eight years, the family has gotten together to set up painted wood headstones, put out decorations featuring witches, pumpkins and ghosts, and to make sure the giant spider is securely attached to her web on the big black barn.

“The more grandkids my parents have, the bigger Boofest gets,” said Tara Scheidt.

Scheidt has worked on the farm with her parents, Doug and Marge Redman, her whole life, and she’s glad her children get to do the same.

She said Boofest and the family’s winery came about as ways for her to work from home.

Redmans' Farm Boofest includes a corn maze, a hayride to the pumpkin patch, farm animals, nightly bonfires, a haunted trail and movies on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Sept. 28 through Oct. 28. AMY SCALF/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

“It’s worked out pretty well. Not a lot of families get to do all this together,” said Scheidt. “The kids stay busy. They’re nev-

er allowed to say, ‘I’m bored.’ I think that’s the biggest lesson my kids have learned, is a good work ethic.”

In addition to helping set up for Boofest, the children grew flowers for the flower sale during the Kenton County Harvest Farm Tour .

Doug Redman said about 4,000 people came out last year to venture through the corn maze, warm up by the bonfires, or walk through the cemetery that dates back to the 1800s.

Besides the pumpkin patch, hayrides and evening bonfires, the family has added a spooky witches’ hut .

Admission to Boofest at Redmans’ Farm, 12547 Decoursey Pike costs $5 per person. The event is from Sept. 28 through Oct. 28, from 6-10 p.m. Fridays, from 1-10 p.m. Saturdays and 2-6 p.m. Sundays.

Pumpkins are priced by size and concessions are available .

Kids’ movies are shown on Friday and Saturday at dusk, and scary movies for older kids and adults begin at 9 p.m.

The adventurous can journey through the haunted trail dusk to 10 p.m.

Give leftover medications to take-back program The week of Sept. 23-29, The Partnership at Drugfree.org is launching the Medicine Abuse Project, a multiyear effort to raise public awareness about and curb prescription drug abuse. Most of us will take a prescription medication at some point in our lives. It is important to remember that medicine a doctor prescribes you is only intended for your use.

Here are some tips for safely storing any kind of medication: Keep all medications and vitamins in a safe location. Keep them away from small children, who might mistake them for

candy, and out of sight of others, who might want to abuse them.

Keep medicines in a container or box that can be locked.

Diane Keep the key in a Mason separate, secure place.

EXTENSION NOTES Always remember to put your medicines back in their original storage container after each use. Make sure all medicine bottle caps are secure.

Sometimes you have leftover

medication. One of the safest ways to properly dispose of medication is through take-back programs. These programs give individuals an opportunity to bring their unused medication to a central location for proper disposal. In Boone County you can drop your unwanted prescription medications at the Boone County Sheriff’s office on Conrad Lane or the Florence Police Department on Ewing Boulevard.

Several local police departments in Campbell and Kenton Counties also have secure disposal boxes.

If you are unable to take your unused medicines to a local drop-off location, follow these guidelines to ensure safe disposal at your home: Remove medications from their original container.

Mix drugs with a substance that would be undesirable to people and animals. Good examples would be cat litter or coffee grounds. If the medication is a liquid, dilute it with water. If the medication is in pill form, crush and dilute it with water.

Place the mixture into a disposable container or plastic bag,

seal and place in the trash.

Remove or cover all personal information on the prescription bottle before recycling or throwing it away.

Help keep our streams and waterways free of unwanted elements from improperly disposed medications. By properly storing and disposing of prescription and over-the-counter medications you also will help curb the abuse of these drugs.

Pick a peck of peppers to pickle

Nell Wilson’s famous hot pickled peppers I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; if I use any at all, I’ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine and go

from there. You’ll get enough brine for 5-6 pints or about 3 quarts peppers.

Peppers:

can add more garlic powder, oregano and chili powder. Crush these for an unusual topping for mac and cheese, etc.

2 pounds or so, prepared as directed below

1 24 oz. box oyster crackers ¾ cup canola or olive oil 1 envelope Taco seasoning ½ teaspoon each garlic powder, Italian seasoning or oregano, chili powder

Brine: Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for 5 minutes.

6 cups clear or cider vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water

Optional ingredients: Sugar to taste: up to 2 cups Salt: up to 2 tablespoons, if you want 1 garlic clove for each jar 1 bay leaf for each jar 1 grape leaf for each jar (this supposed to make them extra crunchy)

Bring brine to a boil.

Let simmer 5 minutes or so.

Prepare peppers: Use rubber gloves.

Leave peppers whole with a slit down the center if you like, or slice. Place peppers in hot jars, packing tightly. Pour simmering brine over, covering peppers. Add optional ingredients. Wipe rims with clean wet cloth. Put lids and seals on. Professionally, I’ll tell you to process pints 10 minutes or quarts 15 minutes in a boiling water bath after sealing. That is the recommended safe method for canning. (Check out my

blog for directions.) I don’t process mine, but I sterilize the jars and lids, and keep them in boiling water until they’re filled. I have never had a problem, but again, the recommended way to preserve these is in a boiling water bath. Jars will seal on their own – you’ll hear little “pings” as the seal completes. Any that don’t seal, just put in refrigerator. Chill in re-

Salon Concepts expands Community Recorder Salon Concepts is expanding its number of locations for beauty salon services to nine in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

A new salon just opened Sept. 10 at 11711 Princeton Pike, Springdale. Another new site at 592 Clock Tower Way in Buttermilk Towne Center in Crescent Springs is scheduled to open in January. The firm is investing $910,000 to open the salons.

The sites were chosen

after nearly 200 stylists at Salon Concepts’ existing locations and customers requested them.

The salons will join Salon Concepts’ seven existing locations in Montgomery, Oakley, West Chester, Mason, Anderson, Florence and Colerain Township.

Fifteen of the 25 suites at the Springdale location have been leased prior to opening. Already two of the 24 suites have been leased at the Crescent Springs location, where work has not yet begun.

The salons offer fully

equipped suites for hairstylists, manicurists, estheticians and massage therapists to provide their services as independent operators. The concept has steadily grown since Van Lieu and his partners launched the business about five years ago.

Van Lieu says Oakleybased Salon Concepts is aiming for 10 locations in the region by the first quarter of 2013.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen • The membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper.

• The lids are a twoparter: a flat seal and a ring. The rings are reusable, but the seals are not.

• See Rita make these: video for pickling peppers on www.abouteating.com.

• Peppers are good for your eyes and heart, among other things.

That’s why every year I get requests for Nell Wilson’s pickled peppers.

Nell, a Mason reader, is the mother of our garden guru, Ron Wilson, and her pickled peppers are the best. I’ve adapted the recipe over the years, but the original premise comes from Nell. Peppers are in season so by making your own, you are saving lots of money plus you know exactly what’s in them.

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

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

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

Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys and other teams will be represented.

The silent auction closes at 12:15 p.m.

A special grand prize contains a men’s medium black leather Bengal jacket, a men’s large Bengal hoodie sweatshirt, two 50yard line tickets to the Dec. 30 Baltimore Ravens game, a $150 gift card to the Bengal’s Pro Shop, $50 Bengal Bucks for food and drinks

and a parking pass. Visitors could take home this package by purchasing a $5 donation ticket at the door.

The live auction contains more than 16 beautiful collectible dolls. The auction dolls are one of a kind, all hand dressed by volunteers. Most have several extra outfits, shoes and even furniture and bedding.

Apple Valley dolls, dressed by Marian Wingerter of Evendale, of Cincinnati Bengal’s quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green will be auctioned at the end of the show. Included in these two live auction packages are their autographed jerseys and autographed NFL footballs plus two 50-yard-line tickets per package to the Dec. 30 Baltimore Ravens game.

There will also be 600 dolls on display dressed by Greater Cincinnati area volunteers, which also constitute part of the thousands of toys the Salvation

Army distributes to needy children prior to Christmas.

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

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

The event begins at 11 a.m. at Armstrong Chapel United Methodist Church, 5125 Drake Road, opening with a group of prize-winning dolls from the auxiliary’s doll dressing program.

A short program follows in which the award winning doll dressers receive their ribbons.

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

So what about this open enrollment?

Turning 65 and eligible for Medicare? Or are you on Medicare now? Then this column is for you. It’s open enrollment time.

I’ll bet you are being besieged with numerous solicitations.

Confused by parts A, B, C and D (and whatever other famous letters of the alphabet there may be).

My brother Nick is turning 65 next month. He reports receiving more than 40 mailings in one month. This exceeds offers he has received for credit cards.

So what is this all about?

Every year, people with Medicare get to explore new choices Ken Rechtin and pick TALKIN’ ‘BOUT MY the GENERATION health and drug plans that work best for them. This is a good thing: it is called consumer choice. This year, the open enrollment period is Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.

This gives people with Medicare a full seven weeks to compare and make decisions.

There are a wide range of health and drug plan options available across the country, including Original Medicare. Most people with Medicare can choose a Part D plan to help them pay for prescription drugs. And people who have chosen to enroll in a Part C Medicare Advantage plan for their basic health care services have the option of staying in that plan, choosing a different plan, or going back to the Original Medicare program.

Plans can change from year to year, so these are important choices that should be made with care.

Once the Medicare open enrollment period closes on Dec. 7, for the most part, you can’t make any changes to your Medicare plan until the following year.

Must I make a change?

Absolutely not! If the Medicare coverage you have now is working and your plan(s) is offered for 2013, then you can keep your coverage as it is.

However, because this time comes but once a year, it’s a good idea to evaluate your coverage during the open enrollment period every year.

That way, you’ll know if you already have the best coverage options for you, or if you need to make some changes.

How do I compare plans?

Knowledge is power. It is your health and your health care coverage. You can and should make

these decisions for yourself. And there are resources to help. Don’t be intimidated by this. You don’t need to be confused.

This site: http:// www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/ pdf/10050.pdf is the official U.S. Government Medicare handbook. It is an excellent publication explaining all the details.

Can’t access this on your computer? Or need help in finding the site?

Then, stop in one of the Senior Services of Northern Kentucky Senior Activity Centers or county libraries and use their computer.

Still feel that you need additional help? Many of the Senior Activity Centers and libraries in Northern Kentucky are offering free help.

Ken Rechtin is interim executive director of Senior Services of Northern Kentucky.

plant the cover crop will dictate which crops you can use. By October, only winter rye and winter wheat can be successfully started. If land is available in August, your choice broadens to include ryegrass, oats and clover. Cover crops such as annual ryegrass, oats and buckwheat that do not overwinter are easiest to work with the next spring.

The roots of cover crops improve the garden soil’s aeration, soil structure and drainage while the tops intercept light energy at times when the

vegetable garden itself would not be planted.

Success in growing cover crops requires proper crop selection, correct timing and good management techniques.

Grasses are much easier to establish than legumes, although including a legume in your cover crop mix has many benefits. Legume cover crops have a symbiotic relationship with certain soil microorganisms that allow for nitrogen to be fixed directly from the atmosphere. Oats mixed

with Austrian winter/field peas and winter rye mixed with hairy vetch have both proven to be excellent cover crop mixes in Kentucky.

Whatever cover crop you use, when the time comes to plant your garden you must remove the cover. You can completely avoid tilling by mowing the plot, broadcasting

Question: What can I plant in my garden now that would improve the soil for next year?

Answer: Those plants are called “cover crops.”

Also known as “green manure crops,” cover crops help rejuvenate Mike the soil, Klahr adding HORTICULTURE organic CONCERNS matter and nutrients when they are turned into the ground the following spring. They also help prevent wind and water erosion, loss of topsoil, soil compaction, weed buildup, overwintering insects and disease problems.

The benefits of cover crops are reaped in future vegetable harvests. Traditional cover crops are ryegrass, winter rye, winter wheat, oats, white clover, sweet clover, Austrian winter/field peas, hairy vetch, other legumes and buckwheat.

For Kentucky’s conditions, consider ryegrass as the best garden cover crop. It is a vigorous grower with an extensive root system occupying the same root zone as the vegetables will. Winter rye is an excellent second choice and best for late planting. It is a biennial, and mowing will stop its growth in spring.
