Meier: County needs to leave options

By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Lacing up

RECORDER

The Kenton County Fiscal Court passed a resolution Tuesday Sept. 14 respectfully declining an invitation from the Kenton County Mayors Group, which had approached the county about appointing someone to serve as a voting member of the Mayors’ Group. The Fiscal Court voted 3-0. Commissioner Sara Reeder Voelker was not present at the meeting. Mayors’ Group members voted Sept. 18 to enact bylaws for the first time in the group’s history. Bestowing the right to vote on

Mayors’ Group issues is part of the approved bylaws, which are meant to allow the members to speak as a group. Judge-executive Ralph Drees said that a fiscal court member voting on Mayors’ Group issues could be problematic due to the possible clash between county and city governments. “As much as we think their new organizational structure is huge for the group and as beneficial it is for the county to be there in attendance on a regular basis, we actually are opposed to having a voting member on the Kenton County Mayors’ Group,” Commissioner Kris Knochelmann said.

Knochelmann did say county officials are willing to choose a fiscal court member to act as a nonvoting ad-hoc Mayors’ Group representative. Crestview Hills Mayor Paul Meier, a member of the Mayors’ Group bylaws committee, felt the fiscal court acted hastily and should have waited before taking a vote because most of the current fiscal court will no longer be a part of county government in 2011. “They’re tying the hands of the new fiscal court by saying they don’t want to be a voting member on the Mayors’ Group,” he said. “If the new Fiscal Court feels the same way, all they would have to

do is abstain from voting.” Meier said now that the Mayors’ Group has passed its bylaws, the Fiscal Court representative can simply abstain whenever a vote is taken. The issue of appointing a Fiscal Court member to serve on the Mayors’ Group and a Mayors’ Group member on the Fiscal Court was first discussed at a forum attended by many Kenton County politicians in April. The Fiscal Court and Mayors’ Group hope the appointees will better communication between the city and county.

Erlanger Christian prepares for Project Linus By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Erlanger Christian Church is raising the bar for Project Linus this year. The church will once again be participating in the annual community service project that collects blankets for children in need. The blankets are distributed by local chapters of Project Linus to children in hospitals, those separated from their families or children who have been traumatized or abused, in order to give them a sense of security and love. The organization, which has distributed over three million blankets across the country since their inception in 1995, is headquartered in Illinois and has chapters all over the United States. This will be the fourth year Erlanger Christian will host the Project Linus event, where volunteers will gather to tie fleece blankets to be donated to the local chapter. After completing at least 100 blankets in each of the first three years, they have set a goal of completing 200 this year. “We’ve had a good response and we wanted do even more this year,” said the Rev. Charlie Martin. “This is something we enjoy being able to help out with, and with enough volunteers, we know we’ll hit our

Trinity Findley, Elizabeth Robinson and Mitzi Hehman work on a blanket during a previous Project Linus at Erlanger Christian Church. This year’s event will be on Oct. 9. mark in no time at all.” The church will provide the fleece for the blankets, and no sewing will be involved, meaning anyone can participate, regardless of their knowledge of sewing or materials. Brunch will also be available for purchase, courtesy of the church’s women’s ministries program. The family-friendly atmos-

phere is always something to look forward to as well, said Martin. “We do have fun while we’re there, and at the end of it, we know we’ve done something good for the community,” he said. “We just hope we can get a lot of people on board this year, because it really is a great program to be involved with.” Through 2009, the Cincin-

nati/Northern Kentucky Chapter of Project Linus has delivered over 44,000 blankets to children in the area, with a little over 300 of those having been donated by Erlanger Christian Church. The event will be held Oct. 9, beginning at 10 a.m. at Erlanger Christian Church, located at 27 Graves Avenue. For more information, call 727-2076.

City not likely to fill Burger’s seat By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Erlanger isn’t likely to fill the seat of councilman Jim Burger, who resigned in late August, before the Nov. 2. election. Burger, who had been a member of the council since 1996, announced his resignation on Aug. 22 after moving out of the city upon getting married. The move also means he will no longer be a candidate in the election after originally filing to run for re-election. “I’ll miss Erlanger, because it’s a great city and it’s filled with some wonderful people,” he said. “It wasn’t an easy decision to leave, but it’s what I had to do, and I’m just very grateful for the

time I had on the council.” Burger credited his fellow council members for their work and cooperation on tough issues during his tenure there, such as changing the process in which the city approves potential developments, as well as keeping the new Kenton County Jail out of Erlanger and continuing to upgrade the city’s infrastructure. “I think with 12 council members, you have to be able to work together well, and we did that,” he said. “With smaller councils, two or three people can sway things to one side. But with our council, we had to have almost total cooperation in order to get things done, and that’s what we always strived to do.”

At the Sept. 7 council meting, Mayor Tom Rouse said the council is unlikely to fill Burger’s seat before the election. According to state statute, the city has 60 days to appoint someone fill the seat, at which point it can be filled by Gov. Steve Beshear. However, since the 60-day window starts from the Sept. 7 meeting, that means the council would have until Nov. 6 to fill the seat. With only two regularly scheduled council meetings after that point in 2010, and with 11 council members still remaining, Rouse said he was okay with leaving the seat vacant until January, when the new council will take over. “It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to appoint someone just for

a few weeks,” said Rouse. Rouse also praised Burger for his work on the council, and said the city plans to recognize him at a future council meeting for his contributions. “Jim was a valuable, hardworking diligent member of this council," he said. "He was a friend and advisor to us all, and he will be missed." Burger’s withdraw from the council race leaves 13 candidates, including 11 incumbents, for the 12 seats. However, Burger’s name may still appear on the ballots, as the Kenton County Clerk’s Office said they had not received official notification as of Sept. 19. The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.

Most at forum against development regulations By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Kenton County residents and businesses owners asked policy makers to respect not only the hillsides, but also the rights of property owners. The Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission (NKAPC) hosted the third public meeting Sept. 15 to discuss the future of Kenton Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hillsides.

NKAPC Director Dennis Gordon said input from meetings and the online survey will be considered while drafting hillside development regulations, which will then be presented at a fourth public meeting in November. Gordon asked the audience of 50 to discuss conservation of hillsides as well as design concepts that could â&#x20AC;&#x153;mitigateâ&#x20AC;? the impact of development on sur-

rounding properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By conservation, we are really talking ultimately about purchasing hillsides,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way this community, if it has the desire and the will, to pursue complete conservation...is to purchase those hillsides because governments do not have the ability to simply regulate development on private property.â&#x20AC;? However, some residents

;OL LUK VM SPML WYLZLU[Z ZWLJPHS JOHSSLUNLZ MVY H

felt purchasing property for conservation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a valid use of taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a taxpayer, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my neighbors should have to buy my land to preserve it,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Hunter of Independence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a taxpayer, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be buying other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land for aesthetic reasons.â&#x20AC;? Many representatives of the Kenton County Tea Party were present and spoke at the meeting, including Garth Kuhnhein who felt hillside regulations would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;extending the reach of government into unconstitutional areas.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do we do something with property that is

not theirs?â&#x20AC;? he asked. One resident felt the NKAPC needed more input from residents before regulations are drafted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in favor of regulations for hillsides, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in favor of a small amount of people decided what 160,000 people have pay for,â&#x20AC;? Dennis Delaney said. Delaney also questioned the integrity of the NKAPCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online survey: more than 200 responses were received, but no restrictions were made on the number of surveys that could be completed from one computer in case more than one family member wanted to participate.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could never conduct that kind of poll and expect anybody to use that information,â&#x20AC;? he said after the meeting. While most of the comments were anti-regulatory, Gordon said they were just as important as comments about conservation and site design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of comments expressed what they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as legitimate as people expressing what they do want,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate that some of them appeared to have come with pre-conceived notions about regulations that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been drafted yet, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK.â&#x20AC;?

Northern Kentucky residents interested in boosting their protection against seasonal flu are invited to pull up, roll up their sleeves and roll out at an upcoming flu clinic. The Health Department will offer the seasonal flu vaccine at a drive-through clinic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, in the parking lot of Champion Window Field, 7590 Freedom Way, Florence. The drive-through format will allow most people to complete the entire process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from registration through vaccination â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without getting out of the car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a convenient, hassle-free way for families to be vaccinated,â&#x20AC;? said Lynne Saddler, MD, MPH, District Director of Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying something

new in Northern Kentucky with the drive-through format, and this clinic will provide good practice for future events in which drivethrough may be used to quickly distribute medication or vaccines to the community.â&#x20AC;? The vaccine will provide protection against the swine flu (H1N1) strain and two others expected to circulate this flu season, a H3N2 virus, and a type B virus. The clinic is open to the public on a first come, first served basis. No appointment is necessary. Cost of the vaccine is $25 cash. Medicare and Medicaid will not be accepted due to the limitations of the drive-through format, but will be taken at all other Health Department flu clinics.

No one will be turned away for inability to pay. Vaccine will be available in both shot form and nasal spray, as supplies allow. If you plan to receive the vaccine in shot form, please wear a short-sleeved shirt to allow faster access to the upper arm. Children under age 2 will be vaccinated in the thigh, and should be dressed to allow the nurse to easily access that area. People with egg allergies or who have had serious reactions to flu vaccines in the past can not receive the vaccine at the Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinics. For more information on the flu, please call the Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flu information line at 859392-0678 or visit www.nkyhealth.org.

Villa girl offers a Kroger store ahead of schedule labor of puppy love By Jason Brubaker

jbrubaker@nky.com

By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

To say 11-year old Allie Clegg has a soft spot in her heart for dogs would be a bit of an understatement. “They’re all just so cute and fun to play with,” said Clegg, a Villa Hills resident. “That’s why I like doing what I do, because I get to be around them all the time.” Clegg, a student at Turkey Foot Middle, has been serving as a foster parent for Frankie’s Furry Friends Rescue, a small dog rescue center in Alexandria, since they opened in January. In that time, she’s taken in nine dogs and managed to adopt eight of them out, with Bristol, a quiet lovable Chihuahua, the newest to be searching for a permanent home. For a girl who also runs her own dog-sitting business, serving as a foster parent for dogs in need of some love has been a blast. “Before we got the first one, my mom and dad had to have a long talk, but they decided to let me do it, and it’s just been going since then,” recalled Allie. “I’m just glad I can help out and try to find some good homes for the dogs. Allie’s dad, David, said the burden of having an extra dog or two around the house actually hasn’t been much of a burden at all, with the entire family pitching in to help out. The Cleggs also have two dogs of their own who haven’t minded the extra playmates. “It’s been a great experience for us, because all of our kids have done a great job of taking responsibility for them,” he said. David Clegg also said he’s been impressed with the way Allie has helped stick to the goal of being a foster parent – not necessarily an easy task for an 11year-old who loves animals. “She understands that the goal is to find them a new home and not keep them here,” he said. “The biggest thing we can do is to help socialize the dog so it’s ready for a new home, and that’s been the fun part for us.” Allie said that letting go of the foster dogs actually hasn’t been too hard, especially when she knows they’re headed to a good home. The length of the adoption process can vary, but she said the longest she’s ever had any foster dog has been about one

month, with most of them finding homes fairly quickly. “Once I see they’re in good hands with people who are going to love them, then I’m happy,” she said. “It’s a little sad to watch them go, but it makes it okay when you know they’re going to have a real home.” Kathy Thacker, the secretary of Frankie’s Furry Friends, said Allie’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. The center, which takes in dogs under 25 pounds, many from puppy mills, has adopted out close to 30 dogs since opening their doors in January. “If we had a prize for the most dogs adopted out, Allie would win it hands down,” said Thacker with a laugh. “She’s just a great girl with a heart of gold - we can’t say enough about her and her family for what they’ve done.” For more information about Frankie’s Furry Friends Rescue, including photos of dogs available for adoption, visit www. frankiesfurryfriends.org or call 859-635-9114.

A dry summer might mean the doors at the new Fort Mitchell Kroger could be opening ahead of schedule. The new 100,000square foot facility, which has been under construction since April, was originally slated to be open by Thanksgiving. However, with few weather interruptions to the construction process over the summer, the store now could be open by the first of November, according to Mayor Tom Holocher, who has been in talks with the project supervisors. “My understanding is that the feel pretty comfortable in saying they’ll be open around that point,” he said. “I think they’re a little bit ahead of schedule, and that’s a great news for the city, because I know people are anxious to be able to

shop there.” Sean Sullivan, the vicepresident of field operations for the Town Center Company, who operates the Expressway Plaza where the Kroger is located, confirmed that the project has been aided by a lack of rain this summer, but said he was unsure that the timeline was now set for Nov. 1. He said a rainy spring had workers concerned about keeping the construction of the exterior on schedule, but those worries have been alleviated this summer. However, no matter the exact opening date, he said that the new store will instantly be a hit with shoppers.

Not even an afternoon of NFL football or overcast skies could keep Erlanger residents from showing their civic pride. The city held their annual Heritage Day celebration on Sept. 19 at the Erlanger Railroad Park, drawing hundreds of residents out for the event, which included food, games, shopping, music and even pony rides. The Erlanger Historical Society also opened the Depot Museum for the afternoon, and several candidates for the upcoming elections were on hand to take part in the political stumping

It has grown into a family-friendly festival with carnival-style games and a lively atmosphere.

ipating, and they will have meets at each of the four schools this fall, with competitions being split by gender and age. And while results and times are being kept for each of the races, it’s clear that the program is about more than just winning races. With parents on their feet cheering and teachers lined up along the course route offering high-fives and encouragement, it was obvious the kids were thoroughly enjoying themselves. “That was awesome!” exclaimed a tired Kaitlyn Smith after finishing the half-mile run. “I’m tired now, but it was fun.” The next meet will be Sept. 23 at Howell Elementary, beginning at around 4:30 p.m.

Reds’ Votto, Phillips encourage healthy living By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Ryland Elementary students were in for a home run of a surprise Wednesday Sept. 15. Cincinnati Reds first baseman, Joey Votto and second baseman, Brandon Phillips visited the school to promote the importance of a healthy lifestyle and to help kick off the school’s Jump Rope For Heart, a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. The AHA chose Ryland to visit for the school’s years of dedication and fundraising for Jump Rope For Heart. After entering the school’s gyms to the deafening sound of the kids’ cheers, Votto and Phillips answered questions, led several school cheers and horsed around with Principal Cathy Barwell. “We’re both professional athletes and baseball players and it’s very important for both of us to take good care of ourselves,” Votto told the students. Phillips thanked students for their enthusiasm. “I just got the chill bumps when you all were cheering for us,” he said with a big smile. Jared Fogle, otherwise

Joey Votto encourages students to stay healthy and participate in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope For Heart Program Wednesday Sept. 15. known as Jared the Subway guy, also spoke to Ryland students about the dangers of childhood obesity. “Don’t wait a year, don’t wait five years. Let’s make those healthy habits today,” he said. “Let’s try to find a positive solution to our problems.” Barwell asked Votto and Phillips about healthy eating habits and their take on The Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have then do unto you. “I just try to put myself in their shoes. I ask myself, ‘Is what I’m going to do going to hurt them?’” Votto

said. “Don’t do nothing to someone you don’t want done back to you,” Phillips advised. Votto and Phillips also cheered on Barwell and Assistant Principal Natalie Carpenter as they demonstrated a jump off, the culminating activity for students involved in Jump Rope For Heart. “It was exciting to see a celebrity. It’s not every day that you get to see that,” said Michael Mardis, a fifthgrade student at Ryland. “My friend is a really big fan of Joey Votto. She’s

going to be so jealous,” laughed Ally Niece, the school’s student council president. “It was cool to be right there in front of them.” Ryland students will begin the Jump Rope For Heart program by spending two weeks collecting pledges from family and friends. After the two weeks are up, students will engage in a jump-a-thon in Ryland’s gym. All funds raised will go to the AHA. “The kids love being active and they’re great at doing things for others,” said Rachel Bea, the school’s physical education teacher. “We’ve gotten Jump Rope For Heart off to an exciting start and I think this will be our best year yet.”

Area football teams start district play this week

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Exhibition season ends for most local prep football teams this weekend. While the first five weeks of the 2010 season were eminently more entertaining than the NFL preseason, the games played so far hardly count for anything concrete unless a team gets in a threeway district tie at season’s end and the strength-of-victory tiebreaker comes into play. Certainly many early games were fun rivalries and offered plenty of chances for energetic teenagers to do something memorable. But this week, the stakes rise as district seeding games begin. Simon Kenton travels to Conner to begin 6A play 7 p.m. Friday. The Pioneers improved to 3-1 with a 21-18 win over Henry Clay Sept. 17. SK posted 341 yards offense and allowed 264, including just 80 rushing yards to Henry Clay. Chad Lawrence accounted for almost all the offense, throwing for 184 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 154 on 25 carries. Ryan Winkler was his top tar-

St. Henry girls adjust to challenges By Adam Turer kysports@communitypress.com

After graduating 10 seniors from last year’s team, the St. Henry girls’ soccer program was unsure of what to expect in 2010. The season was thrown into further disarray when the team’s top returning player, senior Abby Janszen, suffered a serious leg injury during the club soccer season in the spring. With 10 first-time varsity players and little veteran leadership, the Crusaders had plenty of obstacles to overcome this year. So far, they have risen to the challenge. “It’s been an unusual season,” said head coach Steve Lorenz. “Considering all that we’ve had to deal with, I think we’re probably right where we ought to be at this point.” Lorenz and his staff implemented a new formation this season. One benefit of having so many new varsity players was the ability to change their primary formation without much confusion.

For veterans like Janszen, who returned for the team’s fifth game, the change has been more of an adjustment. Instead of playing with two attacking forwards, the Crusaders have been playing with one forward and three players behind on the attack. “It’s been a matter of getting the kids to understand where they fit on the field,” Lorenz said. “We’re still refining things. We’ve been known as an attacking team and we want to keep that identity.” With so many new faces, the Crusaders have counted on some newcomers and former junior varsity players to make a big impact in their first season at the varsity level. Junior center midfielder Jill Bauer and junior outside midfielder Melissa Spare have stepped up. Junior transfer Sullivan Culbertson was making a big impact at outside defender before suffering a season-ending knee injury during the All “A” Classic. “There have been some pleasant surprises,” Lorenz said. “These girls

have done well with the opportunities they have been given.” The Crusaders reached the finals of the All “A” Classic the weekend of Sept. 10-12, falling in the championship match to Lexington Catholic. St. Henry bounced back with a 5-0 win over Simon Kenton in their first game after the All “A” Classic. The offensive game plan continues to improve and the win over the Pioneers was a good sign for the Crusaders. “We made a couple of adjustments after the All “A” Classic,” said Lorenz. “If we can keep building on that, I think we’ll be where we want to be at the end of the season.” St. Henry is 10-2 through Sept. 18, including a big win over Notre Dame Academy on Sept. 8. Libby Leedom scored both goals in that victory and leads the team with 11 goals through Sept. 18. The Crusaders travel to Brossart on Sept. 20 and host Lexington Catholic on Sept. 22.

NDA volleyball aims for consistency By Adam Turer kysports@communitypress.com

A tough schedule and an inexperienced team could have led to a down season for Notre Dame Academy’s volleyball team. The Pandas stand at 114 through Sept. 19, with several tough matches left on the regular season schedule. At several times this season, the Pandas have shown flashes of ability to play like a more veteran team. There have still been times, however, when the team’s youth and inexperience shows. “We are really young and we’ve had a bit of ups and downs,” said Lanham. “We’ve been pretty inconsistent, but I’m happy with our progress. All the girls are getting better.” Three seniors getting their first significant varsity experience, six juniors,

three sophomores, and two freshmen have been adjusting to playing together at the varsity level for the first time. Growing pains were expected. “A lot of the mistakes we’ve been making are a result of our youth and inexperience,” Lanham said. As the youngest players learn to play with more consistency, the Pandas will improve as a team. The underclassmen were thrown into the fire and are learning on the fly, playing for a highly ranked team against several highly ranked opponents. Freshman middle Heidi Thelen, freshman setter Elly Ogle, and sophomore outside hitter Taylor Angel have made major contributions this season despite their youth. Angel saw limited varsity action late last season as a freshman. Ogle played varsity for Beechwood High School last

season as an eighth-grader. “I see them growing with each game,” Lanham said. “I think the more they play, the more confidence they are gaining.” Notre Dame has been invited to play in the Nike Challenge in Chicago for the second straight season. The Pandas will travel to the Windy City for the elite tournament on Oct. 1-2. Kentucky powers Assumption and Sacred Heart will also play in the tournament. Two of the Pandas four losses so far this season have come to Sacred Heart. Notre Dame will play Assumption the week after the Nike Challenge. “There will be a lot of national powerhouses in Chicago,” said Lanham. “It’s nice that we got invited back.” The Pandas will play for a lot Sept. 23, when they travel to St. Henry. Not only will they try to avenge an

early-season loss to their local rival, but both teams are raising money for breast cancer research before and during the match. Notre Dame has the talent to be a big factor in the postseason and will be battle-tested after playing against several of the top teams in Kentucky, Cincinnati (Ursuline, Seton, McAuley, Mercy), and the nation. By October, Lanham is hopeful that youth and inexperience will give way to confidence and consistent quality play. The Pandas have the motivation to play beyond their years. “We want to get past making youthful mistakes,” Lanham said. “We have a lot of girls that work hard. They really want to play and a lot of them have goals to play beyond high school.” The Pandas play at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, at St. Henry.

Experience will help Villa in postseason By Anthony Amorini kysports@communitypress.com

The thunder of 25 years of collective varsity experience for five Villa Madonna seniors accompanies the Blue Lightning girls’ golf team into the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Region 6 Championships Monday, Sept. 27. In six of the past seven years, at least one Lightning golfer advanced through regionals to qualify for the state championships. The girls scored team state qualifications on four of those occasions. Ninth-year head coach Ken Theissen hopes similar exit music provides a fitting swan song for his quintet of longtime players after the girls missed out on state in 2009. The top two teams, and top five individuals not on a qualifying team, advance from regionals to state. “We have to click on all cylinders to get it done and all our girls know that,” Theissen said of Villa Madonna’s state aspira-

championships” - during the Blue Lightning’s fourthplace finish at the event Saturday, Sept. 11, Theissen said. Theissen suspects Notre Dame Academy will take first place at regionals with Grant County, Owen County and his Villa Madonna girls battling for the secondplace, state qualifying slot, he said. “On any given day, we will all be within five strokes of one another and we see those teams all the time,” Theissen said of Grant County and Owen County. “It’s just a matter of who comes with the right head on. Hopefully at regionals, that’s us.” Villa Madonna senior Katie-Scarlett Skinner is currently No. 8 in the AllState rankings with 17.33 points. At season’s end, the top 10 players in the rankings are named to the AllState team, Theissen said. A varsity golfer since seventh grade, Skinner leads the team with an 18hole average of about 78 strokes, Theissen said. “She is our lead dog and there is no question about that,” Theissen said of Skinner. “She started with us in the fifth grade. Her mental toughness and her ability to play, and score, is what every coach wants.” Additional seniors on the team include starters Katie Ransdell (90 strokes per 18 holes) and Lauren Wagner (92 strokes per 18 holes) and also Kimberly Yocom and Sarahmarie SpechtBird.

Skinner has been to state twice with Ransdell housing one year of state experience. “There are going to be some tears at the end any time you have a group that’s played together as long as these girls have,” Theissen said. “They are great friends.” Aside from Skinner, Ransdell and Wagner, additional members of the Blue Lightning’s starting five include junior Katie Gross (95 strokes per 18 holes) and freshman Nicole Zatorski. Zatorski became a varsity starter just under a month ago and her score of 95 strokes at the Gene Hilen Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 4, validated the decision, Theissen said. “She was coming on strong and she had been the leader of our (junior varsity team) for a few seasons so we moved her up,” Theissen said. “We value our seniors but also realize it’s about putting together the best team score in the end.” Regardless of Villa Madonna’s results at regionals, Theissen was quick to give a respectful nod to the senior quintet’s contributions across their careers. “It’s been quite a ride and the end is going to be bittersweet,” Theissen said of waving goodbye to his seniors. “In the end, the girls will be able to look back knowing they had a very respectable season no matter what happens in the next few weeks.”

Thomas More College senior defender Angie Kersting, a Mercy High School graduate, has been named the Presidents' Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Defender/Goalkeeper of the Week today (Monday, September 13, 2010) by the conference office. Kersting helped anchor the Saint defense last week as Thomas More posted a pair of shutouts during a 1-01 week by defeating Ohio Wesleyan University, 2-0, and playing Olivet (Mich.) College to a 0-0 scoreless draw. Kersting scored one of the Saints' goals in the win over Ohio Wesleyan. The Saints, who have not been scored upon in four matches this season, allowed just 18 shots (13 vs. Ohio Wesleyan, five vs. Olivet) in two matches.

Goalkeeper of week

Thomas More College junior defender Keith Kreidenweis, an Elder High School graduate, was named the Presidents’ Athletic Conference men’s soccer Defender/Goalkeeper of the Week today, Sept. 13, by the conference office. Kreidenweis anchored the Saint defense last week, as defending PAC champion Thomas More remained

unbeaten and unscored-upon following a 0-0 double overtime draw at Wittenberg University and a 2-0 home victory over Denison University. The Thomas More defense had its two North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) opponents to a combined 20 shots in two matches.

School rolls on

The Tichenor Middle School football team will look to continue their winning ways on Sept. 25 when they’ll host Newport Central Catholic. The Trojans, in their first year, have won four games in a row since dropping their opener, and are undefeated in their division. The team has been winning with defense, giving up an average of only 4.4 points per game, while scoring just over 23 on offense. Coach J Lail said he’s been proud of the team’s effort and ability to overcome obstacles in their first season together. “No coach could ask for anything more,” he said. “The players have come together as a family, and have proven that hard work and dedication can pay huge dividends.” The Sept. 25 game will begin at 2:30 p.m. at the Lloyd Memorial High School football field. For more information, contact the school at 727-2255.

Thomas More College senior place kicker Dustin Zink, a Newport Central Catholic High School graduate, was named the Presidents’ Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, Sept. 13.

My name is John Waltz and I am running for Congress because I share the frustration and anger so many other people are feeling this year. Our government is not functional and I’m tired of watching those who are supposed to represent us play their own political games. When I came back from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, I needed help from the Veteran’s Administration. I went to our own congressman, Geoff Davis, for help and I got the brush-off. I had to take my case all the way to the White House before I got the help I needed. I realized too many other vets have the same problems and I started working for veterans by trying to pass legislation like the new GI Bill. I also realized how much of our hard-earned money was being flushed away in Iraq to out-of-control contractors that weren’t doing their jobs. I helped start a nonprofit to rebuild hospitals in Iraq. As I worked for vets and got more involved in politics, I came to know one thing for certain. Washington, and in particular, Davis, is not working for us anymore.

Here are a few of my plans when I get to Congress. 1.

Geoff Davis of Hebron is the Republican candidate for the 4th District U.S. House of Representatives. He is the incumbent.

“My husband’s job! He was selfemployed for 17 years making a good living until the recession hit. Then work dried up and no job. “Since he was selfemployed that meant no unemployment compensation. “He now has a part- time seasonal job now for which we are grateful. I am also thankful that I am a teacher and my job is secure as well as provides insurance.” K.S. “I’m not even going to waste my time thinking about your question, because the past is history and I can’t change it. “Now, if you had asked what is good about post-recession life, that would be more interesting as it addresses people’s ability to adapt to changes. “How about not feeling pressured to buy the latest tv/pc/cell phone ... as soon as it’s announced. By increasing the time I use these items from two years to 30 months I save myself 25 percent, and lose very little real-life benefit. Same is true for cars. “If I eat a little less, I can save on the food bill, lose weight, improve my health and save on medications. “If I make the right choices, I come out better not worse and don’t even miss my youth!” D.R.

Resident concerned

The Mayor of Independence seems to think we have crazy people in our city and John Richardson thinks we have politically motivated people using guerilla tactics to scare the people in Hartland Estates. I have lived in Hartland for seven years and have not received crazy letters that the mayor spoke of. Personally, I feel it was an unprofessional statement to make. I, and only I, wrote the letter concerning the proposed walking trail. I have a copy of this map (C-7 Development Areas & Trail Connectivity) and I am willing to show anyone interested in viewing it. As of Sept. 2 Chris Reinersmen knew I wrote the letter, and I asked him to tell the mayor. I am not opposed to “Welcome to Independence” signs but I think we have to consider a frugal budget. Do we need the upkeep of landscaping, lights, flags and do we need a copula/dome on the signs? Some people even say

rates doubled and voters had no say. This is wrong. With REINS, we could restore control to the people and prevent this type of regulatory tyranny. In addition, I have led efforts to correct the inequities in disability retirement pay for the National Guard and Reserves who are injured in combat, increased transparency in financial reporting, improve programs for the homeless; and enhance coal-to-liquids technology to create jobs and affordable energy. I have always made service to Kentuckians a top priority. I am committed to responding to the concerns of constituents, assisting seniors and veterans, and ensuring that all Kentuckians have a strong advocate with federal agencies. As an 11-year Army veteran, I am working to ensuring that all veterans receive the benefits they deserve. Our office has helped thousands of Kentuckians and I hope to have the opportunity to help thousands more. I am committed to serve you by hard work and listening to your ideas. Together, we can restore our nation to strength and prosperity.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CH@TROOM Last week’s question:

Washington must be made to manage t h e national budget the way Geoff Davis f a m i l i e s small Community and business Recorder o w n e r s guest do: balcolumnist anced. As I listen to Kentuckians across the district, I constantly hear deep concerns over the government takeover of health care. This fiscally destructive law must be repealed and replaced with reforms that will protect your doctor/patient relationship; Medicare benefits for seniors; Social Security; and reduce the cost of health care. Working with a constituent, I introduced H.R. 3765, the REINS Act, which would rein in the regulations imposed by unelected Washington bureaucrats burdening Kentucky families and businesses. The REINS Act would require Congress to take an up-or-down vote on every new major rule before it can be enforced on Americans. For example, when the EPA imposed an $800 million consent decree on Northern Kentucky to comply with an unfunded mandate for storm water compliance, all of our sewer

$10,000 is too much to pay in hard times. In January, 2010 I asked Council how many bids they obtained and they had not gotten bids from different companies. I feel that they should get outside bids, not ones that are from committee members and affiliates. This is called a conflict of interest, or the Good Old Boys Club. I believe Mr. Richardson has spread rumors that others have written this letter. I do believe he is on a witch hunt and he owes those folks a sincere apology. He knows who he has spread the rumors about. My only interest is to keep our families safe, bring some spirit and good will to Hartland and in my community. Mayor and Mr. Richardson, please don’t put me down for that and take me off your dirt list. Rita Hauke Independence

Todd and Nichole Preisler hold some of the cupcakes featured at Heavenly Frosted Cupcakes located at the end of Oakbrook Drive.

Heavenly Cupcakes ‘out of this world’ By Patricia A. Scheyer Community Recorder Contributor

For families who have two working parents, time is a precious commodity, and saving time by ordering birthday cupcakes from Heavenly Frosted Cupcakes can seem like heaven-sent help. But that’s not all the fledgling company offers. “Everything we have, cupcakes and frosting, is homemade, and it’s a great taste difference,” said Nichole Preisler, who, along with her husband, Todd, own Heavenly Frosted Cupcakes. “We know that people want to give their children special treats that are homemade with love, and we can do that. We do birthday parties, anniversaries, office parties, weddings – just about any special occa-

sion.” Located in a fairly new strip mall at the end of Oakbrook Drive, near Pleasant Valley, Heavenly Cupcakes opened inside of Saturday Sweets on July 10, but had been filling orders via the Internet, at www.heavenlyfrosted.com, before that. The business grew out of Nichole’s passion for baking, and a nationwide trend for sprinkle cupcakes. With business picking up, Nichole’s next ambition is to install a convection oven in Saturday Sweets before the holidays. “I believe this business can do very well,” she said. Todd agrees. “It’s all about getting your name out there,” he said. The phone number is 859-394-2295.

Mary Lou Klein arranges some sample campaign signs in the store window. With the election a little over a month away, she said business is steadily increasing, with politicians looking to get their name out to the public.

Mary Lou Klein was definitely not sad to see the primary elections in May come to an end. “By the time it was over, I felt like I had been running in a race too,” she recalled with a smile. “We had a ton of late nights, meeting with the candidates and working late and going over designs and plans - it was exhausting! But it was also kind of fun too- we were right in the middle of the action.” Klein is the owner of Klein Printing and Promotions, the Fort Mitchellbased shop that is among those who handle printing campaign signs, fliers, bumper stickers, magnets, coffee mugs, lapel stickers and anything else a candidate might want to put his or her name on before an election. With the Nov. 2 election a little over a month away, she said business again has been crazy...but in a good way. “This is what we love to do,” she said. “It definitely gets busy, but we love being able to work with all of the candidates and try to help them get elected. It’s fun for us to know that we’ve helped them when they win.” Her son, Jonathan, who is a graphic designer for the company, agreed. That’s because there’s a lot of work to be done - everything from picking out a catchy color scheme to incorporating any slogans or specific designs before the signs are ready to fill the yards of residents. “For about two or three weeks leading up to an election, we basically

Jonathan Klein plays with a design on the computer. In the weeks leading up to an election, Klein said he can "forget about having a social life." have no social life, because we’re here all the time, and until all hours in the morning,” he said. “But it’s fun to be a part of all of it.” With more campaign signs sprouting up all over the place, Mary Lou said they’re starting to get into the election atmosphere again. For many candidates, she said it’s just about developing their “brand,” and getting their name out to the public in as many ways as possible. “Some of the candidates who haven’t run before don’t really know what they want or need, and they’re just looking for a way to get started,” she explained. “So we try to work with everyone individually to meet their specific needs, and get them going down the right path for an election.” However, the road isn’t always easy. There are always late orders and rushed orders that need to be filled, as well as candidates who may not be fully familiar with the sign regulations for their community. There’s the volume of orders, like in 2006, when they printed approximately 50,000 signs throughout the election. Additionally, there’s always the sensitive issue of printing signs for multiple candidates within a single election. While Klein says they are strictly a “non-partisan” print shop,

they still take extra precautions to ensure they’re not stepping on any toes or showing favoritism to any candidate or political party. For example, when an order of signs is finished, they are stored away and a specific pick-up time is arranged, to avoid an opponent dropping by, seeing the signs, and possibly feeling slighted. “But we’ve had times where two opponents both come in at the same time to pick their signs up, and it can get awkward,” she said. “We just do whatever we can to stay neutral and stay out of the middle of the races which is why we don’t do negative signs.” But just because they stay out of the politics of election season doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy the spoils of victory. She said they’ve tracked each of the candidates they’ve worked with over the years, and figures they have worked with the winning candidates about 90 percent of the time. She said they often field invitations to victory parties, and that they get as excited about election night as some of the candidates. “There’s definitely a sense of pride there,” she said. “We enjoy what we do and we enjoy working with the candidates, and we feel like we’re a part of their success when they win.”

How do I know I’m making the right decision? lives and brings misery to our door. What are some factors to help us become more prudent in our decisions? 1) Be inquisitive enough to gather all the facts and various sides of the issue involved. Half-truths leave us half-informed. 2) Know ourselves well. Some of our decisions are imprudent because we don’t realize how often we decide matters based only on our emotions and not on the facts. We must know when to trust our thoughts and emotions and when not to. 3) Do some “damn good thinking.” Reason logically, be honest, weigh solid moral principles and what is genuinely good for our self as well as others involved. One theologian described prudence as “the vigilant eye of love.” 4) Our greatest enemies are apathy, fear and selfishness. Apathy leads us to avoid decisions we personally need to make with the attitude of, “Who cares? Let somebody else decide.” Fear brings extreme caution, timidity in making decisions, or taking an unreasonable amount of time to make them. It can also lead us to dread displeasing others – so we conform to what others think is to be decided. Selfishness and pride can delude our minds into thinking, “I have all the answers so why take the time to think deeply or discuss it with others?” “Why

consider in my conscience what God might want?” 5) If necessary, be open to seek advice from someone competent whose wisdom we trust. They cannot make our decision for us but they may be able to help us have greater confidence in the validity of our reason-

ing. Today many people seem to decide, even about important issues, on the basis of minimal information, few values, and little in-depth thinking. Short slogans and spin experts do our thinking for us. Bye, bye, prudence!

No-cook banana pudding has great ‘a-peel’ Yesterday I took dinner to a friend who was ill. I wanted to bring a dessert for the family along with the meal but didn’t have a lot of time, so I decided to make banana pudding. Now usually I make the pudding from scratch, like a pastry cream, but that wasn’t going to happen yesterday. So I carried in my nobake version and it was a huge hit. Here’s the recipe for you to try.

Rita Heikenfeld Rita’s kitchen

I put mine in a smaller casserole dish. 4 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 ⁄2 cup sweetened condensed milk (this is half of the 14 oz. can – freeze leftover milk 3.5 oz. package instant vanilla pudding 11⁄2 cups milk 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 cups whipping cream, sweetened to taste*, whipped, and divided or 12 to 16 oz. whipped topping, thawed 3 ripe bananas, sliced About half a box of vanilla wafers

Procedure helping heal injuries, reduce surgery

When an athlete is injured typically their goal is to get back on the field, court or track as quickly as possible. A new treatment utilizing a patient’s own blood that allows doctors to avoid surgery is offering promising results in treating ligament and tendon injuries. The treatment is called platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. Pro athletes such as golfer Tiger Woods, Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver Hines Ward and Texas Ranger pitcher Cliff Lee have all had knee and arm problems treated by PRP. PRP is cutting-edge sci-

ence and medicine that speeds up the healing process for soft-tissue injuries predomiDr. nantly to Matthew l i g a m e n t s DesJardins and joints. It like Community works this: Recorder Doctors guest draw a columnist p a t i e n t ’ s blood, just like a regular blood test, and then place the blood in a centrifuge. The blood is spun to separate out the platelets. Platelets are tiny cells that play a key role in blood clotting. But platelets also contain properties that can enhance the healing process. Using a syringe the platelets are then injected directly into a soft tissue area that is injured and having a hard time healing on

its own. The process concentrates the cells with the most potential to heal and puts them into the place that is not healing. We are using a patient’s own biology, their body’s own cells, to hyper-stimulate the body to heal. It’s very neat and clean. There is no outside tissue involved, there is no hardware involved. So for example, if you’ve had tennis elbow and you’ve been wearing a brace for six months, doctors can inject some PRP into the tendons in your elbow and speed up the healing process. You might also see PRP used to treat a basketball player with jumper’s knee, a runner with Achilles tendonitis or with chronic muscle injuries that aren’t healing well, such as hamstrings and quadriceps. We are very encouraged with how PRP is speeding up the return time to play.

An MCL injury might take six to eight weeks to heal on its own. With PRP that down time could be cut in half and that is very advantageous to an athlete. I want to be clear; this is very new technology that still needs further research. Yet it appears to be resulting in less downtime from sports. Currently, PRP is being used to treat injuries that tend to be very slow to heal, but we are just beginning to use it in active injuries to speed healing when return to play is critical. Using PRP I recently treated the elbow of a Masters Olympic golfer. I released her to play after three to four weeks. If we had to open up her elbow with surgery, she would have been out eight to nine weeks. PRP is a very hot topic in research, and appropriately so. There are no longterm studies on this, but

Celtic Festival to be held on Fountain Square For the first time in its history, Cincinnati’s Celtic Festival will be on Fountain Square. The 18th annual celebration of Cincinnati’s Celtic heritage is set for Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 2-3.

Walkers join fight against Alzheimer’s with walk Oct. 2

The statistics are frightening: An estimated 5.3 million Americans currently affected. It’s the sixth leading cause of death, a $160 billion annual cost, and one in eight baby boomers to be stricken with the disease. The latest figures regarding Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on the United States bring a heightened sense of urgency to do something about a growing epidemic. But for many who participate in the annual Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Memory Walk, the numbers are overshadowed by more personal reasons to be involved in the event. “My mother, Rose, passed away from Alzheimer’s disease,” said Mark Cawley, co-chair for the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Memory Walk planning committee. “It’s my hope that my support of the Alzheimer’s Association will one day help other families avoid the difficult struggles we experienced with my mom.”
