WILDER — Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery told city leaders he is part of group lobbying for the right to go to voters with funding requests for expensive special projects because state money isn’t coming. “I expect that might be a generation of tight belts in Frankfort, and we’re going to be left to our own devices increasingly,” Pendery said at a quarterly meeting with mayors and city administrators Oct. 29 in Wilder. Pendery said he has part of the Metropolitan Alliance for Growth, with other members from Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Elizabethtown and Boone and Kenton counties. Traditionally, Kentucky has been a state run by rural interests, and urban areas need to advocate for their needs, he said. “... The urbanized areas are the only place in the state that are actually producing any growth,” he said. Pendery, as part of the Growth Alliance, is supporting the Kentucky League of Cities top legislative priority for the 2014 state general assembly – to permit local option

Brothers think they have fire-eating record They doused 88 torches in 60 seconds

FORT THOMAS — Brothers
Erik Kloeker, 23, of Fort Thomas and Travis Fessler, 40, of Florence get fired up on the job together. The brothers have been eating fire together since 2002 when Erik was 14 and living in Cold Spring. Since then, the brothers have sharpened their act, and they also now juggle ax-

They are now waiting to hear from Guinness World Records to see if they broke the record for extinguishing the most lit torches by mouth in 30 seconds. On Sept. 4, at Jungle Jim’s in Union Township, Ohio, Kloeker said he put out 45 torches in 30 seconds, and his brother extinguished 43 torches in 30 sec-
onds. The established record is 39 torches, according to guinnessworldrecords.com. Kloeker said his brother got him interested in eating fire and juggling. In his spare time he practiced juggling upside down as a teen. “Mom was not too happy in

the beginning, but she’s kind of used to it now,” he said. Working to break and set world records has been part of their act all along, Kloeker said. At age 16 he swallowed his first sword in an attempt to become the youngest sword swallower. In August 2012, Kloeker set the world record for most consecutive ax juggling catches in Newport. The trick to extinguishing a flame inside your mouth is cutting off the oxygen, Kloeker said. And in all the times he has extinguished torches, he has never had a serious burn or a trip to the hospital. “It’s mostly about overcoming fear,” he said. “We’ve been doing it a
long time. It’s just a lot of practice to be able to put them out so quickly.” He said they play up a brothers’ rivalry during their shows, but it rarely exists outside of their public act. Fessler said the circus is a family business – his wife Susan also eats fire. “She didn’t try for the record,” he said. “She doesn’t eat fire as often as I do.” One part of Fessler’s act has Susan holding a flower or another a prop to perform feats of using a whip precisely. “So, when I crack the bullwhip, I knock the head off the flower,” he said. “So, that takes a lot of courage and trust.” The brothers have taken their fire-eating, sword-swallowing and axjuggling act across the United States, and even overseas to Milan, Italy, and Beijing, China, Fess-
ler said. Becoming a fire eater and circus performer wasn’t Fessler’s first plan in life. “Growing up I always did little magic shows and I was always into magic, but I wasn’t very good at it,” he said. Fessler said a magic shop owner told him about how people eat fire as a different way to awe audiences. When the brothers are on stage they run their show like a vaudeville act. Fessler said they display signs with messages including “medicine show” as a way to harken back to live touring shows around before the advent of television and radio. “I built a bed of nails, and I started swallowing swords,” he said. “It all kind of came from being a bad magician.”
sales tax for large regional projects. “So, the idea of this local option sales tax is that the voters in a particular area can decide to impose a tax for a certain period of time that gets sunsetted when the job is done,” he said. Local option sales taxes are permitted in 38 states now, Pendery said. Louisville and Lexington might make more use of a local option sales tax than Northern Kentucky. Regions or counties are not eligible under Kentucky law to approve their own local option sales taxes, and funding for major projects usually has to come from the state, he said. “I wanted to explain that because you’re liable to see my name and some other names associated with something that smells faintly like a tax increase,” Pendery said. “And therefore, you need to hear the other side of the story.” Pendery also spoke with the mayors about issues ranging from heroin to how the state divides cell phone fees to fund 911 centers to distributes state road funding. Pendery said each of his topics revolved around funding from the state, and Northern Kentucky has issues that need solving. “We’ve got big problems that need to be solved at every turn,” he said. Pendery pointed to the meeting’s agenda and a handout of the KLC’s legislative agenda. “Pick anything on the list here, the heroin thing,

he will bring at least three models of military vehicles used by Nazi Germany during World War II. Schauerte, a former captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, said he started out collecting models of American, Japanese, German and British soldiers from World War II. Learning to build models of tanks and other military vehicles came later, and the collection grew. He said he decided to specialize in German and American, and then only on German military, after realizing his collection was growing too large. He plans to bring a World War II era Panther tank, armored car, and a
we get a couple million less than our fair share for treatment, which would finance 200 treatment beds,” he said. “And the road funds, same things. Pick anything that we deal with here, we’re trying to back fill because the state takes the money and spends it someplace else.” Pendery said one concern was how the state will spend any increase to the Commercial Radio Services fee of 70 cents per month charged to cell phone customers. Raising the fee is the No. 2 KLC legislative priority for 2014. “Don’t we have to be fearful that the money would be diverted around the state as it is currently, and so it’s not going to all find it’s way to us,” Pendery asked. Dale Edmondson, director of Campbell County Consolidated Dispatch, said the radio services fee formula divides 50 percent of the cell phone fee equally between all counties, so a rural county like Gallatin County gets the same amount as Campbell County. Another 20 percent of the cell phone fee goes back to the companies that supply the service to improve service, and the remaining 30 percent is tied to the number of cell phones registered to a locality, he said. For Campbell County, not all cell phones in use by people in the area are registered in Kentucky, he said. Some counties in rural counties end up getting in excess of $1 per cell phone registered in the county from the 70 cent fee, Edmondson said. “Here in Campbell County we think we get about 40 cents, so we do a little better than some,
Marder III M tank destroyer to the salute. Scott Celender of Reading, Ohio, another member of the Sixth Scale Collectors, said the Fort Thomas show is one of the biggest shows for the model group because it draws a crowd beyond the scope of people interested in model making. The group’s featured display this year will be a Hall of Armor showing models of military armor of U.S., British and German design from different years, Celender said. There will also be a display of a scene built from scratch of a U.S. Calvary unit and Western town, he said. “The modeler, he handmade the leather saddles,” Celender said. “It’s going to be a tribute to the calvary.”

Edmondson said. For some, though, the top priority is the Brent Spence Bridge State Rep. Joe Fischer, R-Fort Thomas, said the bridge remains a top priority for him in the 2014 legislative session and he came to the meeting to hear the concerns and needs from local officials. Fischer said he wanted to know the position of individual cities on the idea of tolls, and he saw a study showing there will be a big diversion of traffic to Interstate 471 bridge from Interstate 75 if there are tolls created on a new Brent Spence Bridge. “It would add like 30,000 vehicles per day to the 471 bridge, that puts us at well over 100,000, and certainly that will impact traffic here in Campbell County,” Fischer said. “I don’t know how you all feel about that, but I have a problem with that.” Pendery said studies have shown there will be an initial diversion of traffic away from the Brent Spence at the $2 per vehicle toll level, but people will also find diverting to I-471 will cost travel time. “You realize people are already paying a toll, essentially, because you’re sitting in traffic for a half hour or 40 minutes or at rush hour and you’re idling away $4 a gallon gasoline,” he said. Pendery said people in Northern Kentucky are against tolls, and it is hoped they can be avoided. “If there’s a way to avoid it we want that to happen, but we first want a bridge,” he said. “That would be my personal position.”
The aim of the Sixth Scale Collectors is to not use kits, he said. “Sixth scale collecting is about a love of modeling,” Celender said. “The thing about it is we start from nothing.” Celender, a police officer for Green Township, Ohio, said the best part of going to events and showing off his models is getting to talk to veterans. Celender said he met a man at last year’s Salute to Veterans who talked about manning a gun on a ship during an attack after realizing the regular gun crew wasn’t there. Celender said he asked the man what ship he was aboard, and the man said the U.S.S. Randolph – an aircraft carrier. Celender said he looked up information about the U.S.S. Randolph later that night. “The U.S.S. Randolph was kamikazed on the way back from Midway,” he said. Celender said one of the best part of making models is finding out the history surrounding them. “The biggest thing is paying tribute to the veterans,” Celender said. “That’s the most important thing.”

Campbell Co. seniors explore college, careers By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
ALEXANDRIA — Thanks to Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson, Campbell County High School’s seniors took a step toward their futures on Tuesday, Oct. 29, without even leaving their school. Abramson started his
“Close the Deal” initiative in 2009, when he served as Louisville’s mayor, and has been adding more schools each year to the program, which brings students together with college admissions representatives, financial aid counselors and community business partners. More than 360 students
were in the Campbell County High School gym to learn more about their future opportunities. The event included Northern Kentucky businesses, such as Mazak manufacturing, as well as the U.S. National Guard and the U.S. Navy, in addition to the Art Institute of Cincinnati, Bellarmine

Kentucky college or university,” said McDermott. He said the FAFSA is the government form that determines a student’s financial need, and it’s the only route to getting federal and state grants or loans to pay for school. The form requires 2013 tax information for the student’s parents or guardians, but McDermott said they can estimate income by using a W-2, their 2012 tax information or their last pay stub of 2013, which should include cumulative income and taxes withheld. “It has to be done early in January,” he said. More information about financial aid can be found online at www.kheaa.com, or at College Goal Kentucky website, www.kas faa.com/CollegeGoalKY.
and to sign up for a lot of scholarships,” said Courtney Puglise. She plans to stay close to home as she studies to be a nurse practitioner or radiologist. A representative from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority, Robert McDermott, had plain and clear advice for the students: to check on their existing scholarship awards, and to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, called the FAFSA, as soon as possible after Jan. 1. “Many students already have Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship money that has built up over four years of high school grades and test scores, so that money is already there for them, just waiting for them to go to a
University, Brown Mackie College, the Interactive College of Technology, Morehead State University, Northern Kentucky University, Transylvania University, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Louisville, among others. Many of the students said they had ideas and plans for what to do after high school, but knew less about how they would pay for it and how much it would cost. “It’s a little easier now that I know the amount of debt isn’t going to kill me,” said Nicholas Pollitt, who said he wants to go into the aviation industry or, maybe, manufacturing. “The biggest thing I learned today is about financial aid, to keep my grade point average up

Check your smoke alarm batteries
The Campbell County Office of Emergency Management wants people to remember to test their smoke alarms or detectors monthly, and to change the batteries whenever they change their clocks. The end of Daylight Saving Time is 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, and clocks needing to be manually adjusted to fall back one hour earlier. The process of setting clocks back adds an hour to Sunday. William R. Turner, director of the county’s emergency management office, issued a news release Oct. 31 reminding people of the slogan “Change your Clock – Change your Battery.” People need to make sure the battery on their smoke detector has adequate power to operate,
said Turner in the release. When people change the time on their clock’s it’s a good time to check their smoke detector as well, he said. “If your detector is 10years-old or older, it should be replaced,” Turner said. “Remember, properly working smoke alarms can save lives.”

Newport rededicates displaced Veteran memorial Gannett News Service
Before Newport Pavilion emerged, a neighborhood known as Cote Brilliante was demolished to make way for development. Now, a treasured remnant of that neighborhood is about to return. A memorial to seven soldiers from the neighborhood who died in World War II was rescued from the site and will be rededicated on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, at Pavilion Parkway and Chesapeake Avenue. The refurbished memorial will stand on a corner that has been dressed up for its arrival, complete
with an American flag and benches – just across the street from its original site. For 60 years, the bronzed plaque recessed in masonry stood on a marble base outside St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, which was also bulldozed for development. The treasure vanished from the landscape in 2005, as houses were being knocked down for the development along Interstate 471. An elderly man who’d revered it took it from its site. “He basically stole it,” said Tom Guidugli, executive director of Newport’s

Neighborhood Foundations, who has led the effort to refurbish and rededicate the memorial. But Guidugli said the man, in his 80s at the time, had good intentions and even cleaned the plaque while
he had it. When word got out in the community that the plaque was missing, Guidugli, then mayor of Newport, received a call from a member of the gentleman’s family and re-
trieved it. “He was scared to death,” Guidugli said. Of course, he wasn’t given a hassle. Guidugli recovered the memorial, and it stayed in a Newport City Hall storage room as city staff planned for its resurrection, In the summer of 2007, construction began on the Newport Pavilion shopping center. Guidugli worked with the developers to secure a location for the memorial and collected donations to help pay for the plaque to be refurbished.

Kroger, Target and Ashley Associates, an investor and the leasing/ management group for Newport Pavilion, donated funds toward the cause, he said. The memorial will be rededicated at 9 a.m. Nov. 11. “It was originally dedicated in 1946,” said City Manager Tom Fromme. City staff have located family members of nearly every soldier whose name is on the plaque. They are invited to the rededication, as is the general public. “I’m tickled that this is happening,” said Betty Hughes, 84, of Villa Hills. “I was glad it’s coming back. It belongs here.” Her older brother, Frank Benning Jr., was 21 when he was killed in Japan, she said. She was about 15 and living with her family on Chesapeake Avenue. Their house was among those demolished to make way for Newport Pavilion. ”Our house is a big expressway pillar,” Hughs said. “It was just so sad.” Tim Rolf, owner of Rolf Monument in Newport, has housed the memorial for the last few years.

Floor raising for women in manufacturing The Workforce Solutions and Innovation Division of Gateway Community and Technical College has launched Raise the Floor, an initiative designed to promote manufacturing careers to women and to prepare them for stable, highly paid, high performance production jobs. Raise the Floor has two primary goals: to help women improve their economic well-being and increase the pipeline of skilled workers, in this case women, to ease the current and projected manufacturing labor shortage. “We are delighted to announce this new initiative that joins our existing efforts to promote manufacturing careers to high school students, displaced workers, and veterans,” said Ed Hughes, Gateway president/ CEO. “We now have recruitment efforts aimed at four of the five worker populations identified by the Northern Kentucky Industrial Partnership, and we are working to develop

A Raise the Floor pilot program is currently under way with a small group of women from other Gateway programs who are involved in an introductory class. The training portion formally kicks off in January when a group of 10 to 15 women are expected to take the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council’s Certified Production Technician class. This four-credit-hour
Gateway course ends in May and includes four assessments. When students pass all four assessments, they receive the nationally recognized Certified Production Technician certification. Beginning in March, women may enroll in the Mechatronics and Machining Career Pathways to be employment ready by May 15. One company has already asked to interview all of the candidates for its apprenticeship program, which provides full-time employment and full tuition benefit for those wanting to pursue an associate degree. “The Raise the Floor initiative is a shot in the arm for our extensive manufacturing pipeline efforts,” Hughes said. “We are very grateful to the United Way, which has co-sponsored this effort, Partners for a Competitive Workforce, and all of the 26 women who so generously volunteered their time to develop this dynamic new initiative.”

Highlands aims for state sweep in cross country By James Weber jweber@nky.com
CAMPBELL COUNTY — Highlands High School is hoping to make it a Bluebird sweep of this weekend’s Class 2A state cross country championships. The girls team is on pace to defend its 2012 championship, while the boys team expects to be in a three-team scrum with rival Covington Catholic and 2012 champion North Oldham. Highands was sixth at state last year. The Bluebirds hope for a slightly different result after a narrow onepoint loss to Covington Catholic in the Region 4 meet Oct. 26 at Sherman Elementary in Dry Ridge. Highlands lost 27-28 to Cov Cath. The two teams both put their five scoring runners in the top 10 to monopolize the medal stand. Highlands sophomore Ethan Shuley won his second-straight regional title in 16:21. Senior John Michael Griffith was second, sophomore Geoffrey Mearns sixth, junior James Smith ninth and sophomore Jackson Paul 10th. Cov Cath filled out the rest of the top 10. “I have never been in a situation where I saw a boys team run five in the
top 10 and not win,” said Highlands head coach Brian Alessandro. “It was really close every time with Cov Cath. Obviously we wanted to win but our goal is next week anyway.” Alessandro is hoping the Bluebirds can gain that extra edge this week. “I want that for John Michael,” he said. “Our team is really young and that would be a good way to end his cross country career.” The Highlands girls team scored 27 points to 51 for second-place Scott. Freshman Chloe Gastright was second overall, followed by Sydney Ossege (fourth), Brianna Collins (sixth), Lauren Ossege (seventh) and Molly Mearns (eighth). Mearns had missed a month with injury. Gastright has been the top Bluebird in several races this season. “We had a lot of good performances today,” Alessandro said. “Chloe has run well all year. She was our seventh runner last year and trained a lot this summer and has progressed pretty quickly.” Campbell County finished fourth in the boys meet in 3A to earn a team berth at state. Junior Mark Chaplin finished fourth, followed by Joseph
McGrath (18th), Kevin Lackey (23rd), Peter Glenn (24th) and Jared Neiser (30th). Campbell County junior Jennah Flairty finished fifth in 3A to qualify for state. Bishop Brossart slayed the giant Saturday, ending St. Henry’s 11-year run as regional boys’ cross country champion with its first title in 12 years at the Class A, Region 4 meet at Sherman Elementary School in Dry Ridge. “That was pretty good. We’ve been trying every year to catch them, and we just kept plugging away,” Mustangs coach Rob Braun said. “These kids didn’t know anything other than St. Henry winning until today.” Braun earned his first regional crown as coach. He took over the Mustangs in 2004, three years after Bishop Brossart’s three-year run as champion ended in 2001. The Crusaders had won every year beginning in 2002. Bishop Brossart senior Michael Caldwell took the 5-kilometer race in16 minutes and 1.8 seconds, and the Mustangs accrued 40 points to sweep the small-school individual and team See RUNNERS, Page A9
FORT THOMAS — Highlands High School’s boys’ soccer team advanced to the final eight in the state for the first time since 2010. For the senior class, this season brought their varsity time full circle. As freshman, they watched the Bluebirds advance to the state quarterfinals. As seniors, they made history of their own. “This was a very similar run to 2010. During the regular season we had our ups and downs but managed to be playing well at the right time,” said head coach Matt Winkler. “The little bit of difference is that this was the first group of freshman that I had when I took over the program, so these guys have been with me for four years now. Several of them remember the 2010 run, so for them to do it again is pretty neat.” The Bluebirds qualified for state by winning the the Ninth Region championship in thrilling fashion. Senior Mitchell Gesenhues buried the game-winner in overtime, as Highlands knocked off rival Newport Central Catholic. The shot, on an assist from classmate Cole DavisRoberts, came just one minute into overtime following a scoreless regulation period. “How crazy is it to play 80 minutes back and forth to end it one minute into overtime,” said Winkler. “That was a team win and one that will definitely stay fresh on the mind.” The Bluebirds defeated West Jessamine by another 1-0 score in the first round of state, on a goal by senior Chris Garbig on an assist by senior Jimmy Pen-

Bluebirds go into playoffs with wild win By James Weber and Gannett News Service
FT. THOMAS — After a 30-27 defeat to Elder, the Highlands High School football team didn’t mind having a little fun to end the regular season. The Bluebirds had fun with a wild 71-69 win over Warren Central. Highlands led 41-7 in the second quarter and the game
became a shootout as the Bluebirds started substituting. Warren Central put up a crazy state record 918 yards offense. “All high school football games are fun to coach and this one was especially fun if you were coaching offense,” Highlands coach Dale Mueller said via e-mail. “It is not too often when you give up 918 yards and win.

rod. The senior class was cohesive and productive, and will be missed. “This group was supertalented and managed to be playing great soccer at the right time. There are several of these seniors that are great leaders and will do wonderful things,” said Winkler. “All of them love the game and I can see each of them giving back what they have gotten out of playing soccer. It is also exciting to hear about several of them wanting to play at the next level.” No northern Kentucky team advanced as far this year as Highlands did. The 17-8-1 season came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Paul Laurence Dunbar in the state quarterfinal. “Dunbar is really talented and eventually they will slip through. You can only get pounded on for so long,” said Winkler. “Our goal was to leave it on the field. I think we did that well. The boys were able to hold their heads high and know that they gave a
great effort.” After losing the 36th district championship to NewCath, it was sweet revenge to win the rematch that mattered more. The Bluebirds dropped two matches in a row, including the district championship, but recovered to win four straight postseason matches before falling to Dunbar. “I knew this was a talented team but really had no idea how it was all going to fit together in preseason. Definitely during some of our high mo-
ments we were able to see the potential but then again we had some low ones that made you kind of think if you could get past the first round of regionals,” said Winkler. “They are high school boys and although a mature team, we all have our moments where mistakes get us.” Ten seniors will graduate, leaving the program in excellent standing. They were the first group to spend four years with Winkler as their head coach. A senior night vic-
tory over Brossart at Northern Kentucky University was a moment that both coach and players will cherish. The impact left by the seniors will benefit the program in the near future. “There are a lot of underclassmen that were able to watch what this team did and see the emotion this team put into ev-
state history eclipsed only by the 745 yards rushing Conner had in a Class 5A playoff game in 2011) and passed for 202 more, but Class 4A Highlands (9-1) recorded its 41st straight win against a Kentucky school by rolling up 626 yards and returning two kickoffs for touchdowns. Backup quarterback Beau Hoge threw for 417 yards and four touchdowns, two to Jenson Feggins. Starter Drew Houliston sat the entire game. Running back Zach Harris rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, and caught five passes for 113 yards and one score. Harris had 712 rushing yards and 16 scores for the regular season. Houliston had 2,702 passing yards and 35 TD throws. Feggins had 786 yards and 11 TDs. Highlands’ potent offense comes in averaging 52 points per game, including 70-plus in three of its last four games. To kick off the playoff season, Highlands will welcome Boyd County (1-9) at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 8, to the Class 4A Russell Athletic/KHSAA Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl. Newport Central ery game. That will definitely rub off on some of the younger guys,” said Winkler. “Several of the seniors have brothers in the program so the connection will always be there. I think the experience this team went through will be a fantastic lesson and guide for next year’s team.”
Catholic High School will stay at home for the first round of the Class 2A playoffs. The Thoroughbreds will play on Saturday afternoon, hosting Owen County at 1 p.m. at Newport Stadium. NewCath is 6-4, winning its last five games, including a 34-31 thriller over Beechwood Nov. 1. John Caudill kicked a 26-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to atone for missing a 30-yard attempt with 6:09 remaining. Mac Franzen threw for 184 yards and a touchdown. Jacob Smith rushed for 93 yards and a score. Franzen has throw for 1,537 yards and 17 TDs, while Smith leads the rushing attack with 601 yards and eight scores. NewCath, the defending state champions, would appear to be a heavy favorite over the fourth seed Rebels. With a win, NewCath would host Walton-Verona or Lloyd Memorial.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Cleanup experience teaches lessons
On Oct. 12, 2013, the congregation and friends of the Beaver Lick Christian Church came together to pick up trash along Boone County highways. What started out as a dirty job, turned into a real learning experience. Not only did we help make our community look better, but it also gave us a better idea of how trash and litter affects our lives and the lives of our neighbors. We picked up paper, plastic cups, fast-food wrappers, even an old telephone. There were old tires and wheels, just about anything you can imagine. The real surprise came when we finished and looked back at the area we had cleaned up. Everyone thought it was great to look and see what a difference we had made. When we got back to the church and discussed what we had accomplished, we found another bonus had come from the experience. Everyone thought that the experience was a friendship builder and gave them a great team spirit. If you and your organization ever feel the need to do your

Armor is needed to win struggles in everyday life My husband can attest to the fact that I have a hard time dressing appropriately for cold weather. I will put off pulling out my winter coat until the bitter end. As for a hat, forget it. Therefore, when the temperature begins to fall, I walk around and suffer the fate of being uncomfortable Julie House and cold when simply putting COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST on the right COLUMNIST clothes for protection and comfort could save me. The same is true for dressing appropriately for the battles in life. Referred to as “The Whole Armor of God,” in the Bible, Ephesians 6:13-18, defines what person must wear to “withstand in the evil day” Ephesians 6:13. In other words, what we need to survive in the day to day. Most of us think we know what we need; a little prayer in the morning and at bedtime, and church once a week. That should be more than sufficient for success. Although correct, we are leaving ourselves wide open for the “fiery darts of the wicked one,” (pain, suffering, mental anguish) when we aren’t fully protected with the “whole armor.” The Bible lists six very important pieces of armor we need to “take up” in order to stand and win in everyday life. How protected are you? Before you left the house this morning, did you strap on your “belt of truth?’ (vs. 13) Did you take time to read God’s word to remind yourself of His truths and plans for your life?
Did you put on your “breastplate of righteousness?” (vs.14) As a child of God, you are righteous in His eyes, did you look yourself in the mirror this morning and allow Him to remind you of that before walking out the door? How about your “boots of peace,” (vs. 15) are you wearing them? Before, frustration and bitterness strike, did you allow the peace of God to plant your firm on the ground today? Did you remember your “shield of faith?” (vs. 16) It’s the protection of your faith in Christ that will allow you to “quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” Do you need to quench the negativity around you? And how about protection for you head; did you put on your “helmet of salvation?” (vs. 17) Did you leave the house without reminding yourself of who you are in Christ Jesus? Did you remember that it is He who fights for you? And finally, did you pack the “sword of the Spirit?” (vs. 17) Do you have a word from God planted in your heart and on your mind that you can pull from at any given moment for nourishment and support? Just as we can open the closet and pull out the fall/ winter jackets for protection and comfort, we can open the Bible and pull out the precious promises of Christ. Promises that will protect, offer comfort and provide lasting peace. Open your Bible and pull yours out today!

Remembering and honoring their sacrifice “In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” – Mark Twain We are blessed with choices. Where to eat, where to shop, what to watch on television, where we go for our family vacation, and where we worship. America is founded on the principle of freedom, justice and liberty for all. A price is paid for this gift of freedom and freedom is what makes America exceptional. In his 1967 inaugural speech as then governor of California, Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” Veterans Day, we take pause and honor those who have so bravely serve this country and protect our freedoms and ideals, our nation’s military men and women. A task not for everyone, but for those who choose to answer
the call it is a decision steeped in love of country, commitment to every citizen young or old, and to preserving American’s way of life. Recently, I had the honor to participate in the Honor Addia Flight send Wuchner off at CVG. COMMUNITY Seventy-one RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST World War II and Korean War vets, along with the host of volunteers departed CVG at dawn for Washington, D.C., to visit the war memorials. My dad had served in World War II, so it was very moving to just be there with them. Each of them was part of the fabric of our nation’s history. They sought no glory when their tours of duty ended, after their long absence they came home folded their uniforms and went to work rebuilding American and raising families. It was just 11 p.m. when the Honor Flight veterans arrived home to a crowd of over 400 and hero’s welcome! Bands playing, flags waving, smiles, tears and kisses. Most of them in their late 80s and 90s, it had been a long day but they
seemed energized even at the late hour. And for a moment, you could see it in their faces; they were transported in time to the day “the boys returned home,” so many years ago. I felt blessed to watch their special day unfold. Kentucky has a long-held tradition of its men and women stepping up in war and peace time, in places like Iwo Jima, Omaha Beach, South Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan to protect our freedoms and battle oppression of others across the globe. According to 2010 data from the Veterans Administration, nearly 340,000 military veterans live in Kentucky. We know of the bravery in action of but a few, for many of our veterans their sacrifices aren’t written in any history books, yet they form the fabric of America. Veterans Day is next Monday, and we say thank you to those who sacrifice their lives, to protect our freedoms, achieve peace and preserve democracy. Thank you to our veterans for your noble sacrifice.

Kentucky Supreme Court decision affects free speech With Kentucky’s judicial elections next year, the public needs to be aware of recent revisions to Canon 5A(2) of the Kentucky Code of Judicial Conduct, which pertains to campaigns and violates free speech. The revision came after the ruling in the federal case Carey v. Wolnitzek, 614 F.3d 189 (6th Cir. 2010). For those of us who are not lawyers, this opinion simply states that judges are permitted to disclose and advertise what political party they are affiliated with. The court correctly said that party affiliation or platform “after all is nothing more than an aggregation of political and legal positions, a shorthand way of announcing one’s views on many topics of the day.” They were exactly right. But unfortunately the Kentucky Supreme Court’s new version of Canon 5A(2) has exactly the same problem. It struck out a sentence about political advertising, but adds verbiage prohibiting candidates from campaigning as a member of a political party. I respectfully ask our Supreme Court: How in the world can a person advertise that he is a member of a political party without campaigning as a member of that political organization? Strangely enough, the judicial canon has a caveat that says “unless there is law to the contrary.” Obvi-
ously there is law to the contrary. The revision simply puts an unconstitutional wellplaced speedstick in the John Schickel path of a candidate who COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST wishes to exCOLUMNIST ercise his already-established constitutional rights as clarified in the federal Carey v. Wolnitzek case. Whether cleverly or inadvertently, this is a huge political disadvantage for any potential challenger. A person who campaigns for a Kentucky Supreme Court judicial seat as a member of a political party would then technically be in violation of the judicial canon and would have to defend himself in front of the Judicial Conduct Committee. A committee appointed by the very same incumbent Supreme Court justice he or she is opposing in an election. The problem is that by the time he defends himself against violating a judicial canon, the election will be over. He could find himself winning a lawsuit and losing an election. (That’s Politics 101.) A cynical person might think there were other motives for this judicial canon besides the commission’s stated reason of limiting speech slightly in an effort to prevent judicial elections in

Kentucky from becoming ultra-partisan affairs. Indeed, as the federal court of appeals said, “(that) argument looks at the problem through the wrong end of the telescope: it merely demonstrates that the clause does not restrict as much speech as it might, not that the clause restricts no more speech than is necessary.” In Kentucky we have an elected judiciary, for better or worse. Voters have a right to know how candidates feel on the important issues of the day. As the court said in Carey v. Wolnitzek, “Informational bans premised on the fear that voters cannot handle the disclosure have a long history of being legislatively tried and judicially struck ... And while political identification may be an unhelpful way to pick judges, it surely beats other grounds, such as the all-toofamiliar formula of running candidates with familiar or popular last names. In that respect, this information ban increases the likelihood that one of the least relevant grounds for judicial selection – the fortuity of one’s surname – is all the voters will have to go on.” This judicial canon needs to go.

Memories will be shared at Highlands Cemetery veterans ceremony By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com
FORT MITCHELL — Larry Coen’s letters from World War II were written to let his family know how he was doing. Now, some 60 years later, their vivid battle details will relay his experience to other veterans and their families during “A Salute to All Veterans” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, at Highlands Cemetery, 2167 Dixie Hwy. The service is sponsored by the cities of Fort Mitchell and Fort Wright, the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum and Highland Cemetery. Coen’s letters illuminate the day-today reality of fighting for 281 days straight, covering more than 12,000 miles while traveling from France to Germany as a member of the 775th Battalion Artillery under Gen. George S. Patton. Coen stayed in Europe until 1946 to help with the repatriation, which included the return of 125,000 prisoners of war to their homes across the war-torn continent. His letters were left in a box for 50 years, until his death at age 70 in 1995. “We never knew the letters existed until he died,” said Lori Flerlage, Coen’s niece who lives in Walton. “He never talked about it, which is very common for men of that era.” Flerlage will share some of Coen’s letters at the Highland Cemetery ceremony to highlight the sacrifices made by all service members, from the past or current times. During the time her Uncle Buddy was writing home from the trenches, Flerlage was born, and her mom, Janie, was living in Ludlow while her father, George, prepared to go to the Pacific front. She grew up in Park Hills with two sisters and a brother, who all adored their Uncle Buddy. Flerlage has distinct memories of the wooden swing set he built for them, and she has photos of herself as flower girl in Coen’s wedding. She also remembers him writing and recording country music, but didn’t realize how much she didn’t know about him until she read the letters. When Coen came home, he got a hero’s welcome along with all the other sailors, soldiers and Marines returning from around the world. It wasn’t the same for Jerry Riches, an Army helicopter pilot from the 119th Assault Helicopter Company, who completed his two-year tour in Vietnam in 1966. “Some guys would change into civilian clothes at the base because people would spit on them and call them baby killers and stuff like that. For a while none of us got the recognition that veterans did before or after then,” he said. “People didn’t understand that the guys

over there were following orders, and if you’re supposed to follow orders, then you follow orders.” Riches of Fort Thomas said he wasn’t confronted with such outbursts, but he knew many people who did.
“Consequently, our inclusion and participation in a veterans ceremony is good. Any time I can participate, then I will,” he said. “Today, people take the time to bring attention to the veterans and I think that should be done. A lot of
young kids today do not see the commitment they should have to God and country.”

All the money needed to be sent immediately, they were told, or they would be arrested. “He wanted our bank information or credit card number but we said ‘No’ and the guy hung up. We called our attorney who said it was a scam … I’ll bet a lot of other people sent money and still owe the IRS. Just a heads up because I’m sure you are already aware of this crazy scam preying on innocent people,” Jill wrote. Yes, this scam has been going around for a few years. In some cases the caller leaves a recorded message claiming to be from a credit card company, a lawyer or a payday loan company in addition to claiming to be from the IRS. The Better Business Bureau says some of these scammers are out to get money while others are just trying to get your personal information. The BBB says never reply to unsolicited phone messages or click on links provided in an email asking for your personal information. If a caller claims you owe a debt, ask questions. The caller should state who they are, whom they represent and, upon request, send you written proof you owe the debt. Never give out financial information over the phone. Bottom line, if someone calls and tells you they’ll have you arrested unless you pay them immediately: Remember, it’s just a scam. Instead, you should contact the police, the state attorney general and the Better Business Bureau to report the phone call. Howard Ain’s column appears bi-weekly in the Community Press newspapers.

St. Vincent de Paul receives truck The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Council of Northern Kentucky was awarded a $75,000 grant from The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation for the purchase of a delivery/donation pickup truck. The new vehicle has replaced the non-profit’s nearly 20-year-old truck which had a history of downtime and costly repairs and maintenance. St. Vincent’s main source of funding to provide services is obtained through sales revenue of donated items at four Northern Kentucky thrift stores in Erlanger, Dayton, Newport and Falmouth, and donations made to the society at local parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Covington. The trucks are a primary resource for generating the revenue and providing assistance to the disadvantaged in Northern Kentucky. The fleet is used daily to pick up donations of durable goods and food, and make deliveries of furniture and beds to thousands of Northern Kentuckians in need. According to Joe Larison, St. Vincent’ Transportation Director, the timing to receive the truck could not have worked out any better. “We pick up an average of 29,000 pounds of donated food per month that is distributed to our19 parish

Mums may need help to survive winter
Question: I have several pots of mums on my front porch. How soon do I need to cover them or bring inside for winter? Answer: You need to go ahead and get the mums planted in the ground as soon as possible, so they can establish their roots before the ground freezes. You don’t need to cover them, however, since they need to continue receiving sunlight and continue naturally hardening off and acclimating to the colder outdoor temperatures as they prepare for winter.

2 inches above the ground. Good soil drainage and adequate winter mulch are important for increasing winter survival of mums. If the flower bed where your chrysanthemums are located tends to be wet during the winter, there may not be much that can be done to insure survival of the mum roots. Of course, if the winter wetness problem is created by gutters or other water runoff systems, maybe something can be done with drainage pipes and rerouting
drains that will help. If your mums are planted in a bed where you always pile winter snow as you shovel, try shoveling another direction. The other factor, winter mulching, has 2 critical components : don’t apply the mulch over the mums or other perennials until the soil has been well chilled and we’ve had several hard frosts; and if the area tends to be a little wet at times, go easy on the thickness of mulch. A good winter mulch for chrysanthemums can be a 3 inch layer of

Rachel Lyon is the new director of Special Gifts for the the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, a newly created position funded by a grant from The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati. The Jewish Federation serves as – among many other roles – the umbrella fundraiser for Cincinnati’s Jewish community. Historically, those funds have been raised almost entirely through an annual Community Campaign. Recently, though, to adjust to shifting trends, the organization has broadened its focus to encourage donors to go beyond their commitment to the Campaign with “special gifts” to specific projects they find compelling. Lyon, who lives in Wilder, will provide overall

That experience is exactly what we need to successfully raise dollars for our agencies.” Lyon joined the federation in August and has already proven to be an asset by working with volunteer leaders to successfully launch the Yavneh Endowment Campaign for local Jewish day school Rockwern Academy. “Education has always

If this mulch is applied while the soil is still fairly warm, the mums’ roots may not reach a completely dormant condition, and winter injury can occur. Normally, it’s best to wait until around Thanksgiving time before mulching over mums and other perennial flowers for the winter.

Retrofittings draws more than 800 guests St. Vincent de Paul’s 11th annual RetroFittings was attended by a recordbreaking 800 guests Oct.. The event was moved to Music Hall this year because of repeat sell-out crowds. The new creative director, Joe Rigotti, used the new venue as inspiration for this year’s theme, “A Night at the Opera.” The innovative event showcased the fashion designs of more than 55 students from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. Each student was given a $10
voucher to shop at one of St. Vincent de Paul’s seven Thrift Stores to redesign and create an ensemble inspired by one of eight famous operas. Each design was modeled in a New York style fashion show by UC students and other special guests including event emcee Artrell Hawkins, Cincinnati Bengal Adam Jones and owners of Cincy Style Edit, Marsha Ashley and Brock Maitland. It also featured a boutique filled with vintage and trendy items donated to St. Vincent de Paul’s
thrift stores, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, raffle prizes, and a live auction with items such as a oneof-a-kind jewelry piece designed by Krombholz jewelers. Proceeds from the event will benefit St. Vincent de Paul’s efforts to bring hope to the front line of poverty, with more than 900 parish volunteers visiting the homes of neighbors in need to provide innovative, practical emergency assistance throughout Greater Cincinnati.

Attendees are encouraged to call or email to reserve a table for their group of family, friends, or coworkers for the quarter auction if they would like to sit together. Admission to the craft and vendor fair is $1, if attendees wish to attend the fair and also participate in the quarter auction the fee is $5 which includes three bidding paddles. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks cells in the brain and spinal cord, affecting control of voluntary motor function. The ability to walk, talk, swallow and even breathe progressively deteriorates, and in the later stages most patients become paralyzed. The mind and memory are not affected by the disease. The rate of progression varies, but life expectancy after diagnosis averages two to five years with a 100 percent fatality rate. ALS occurs throughout the world and crosses all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic boundaries. Ninety percent of cases have no known genetic component; about 10 percent appear to be hereditary. Statistics show that those who have served in the military are two to three times more likely to get ALS. No cure or treatment currently exists to halt or reverse ALS, several drugs are currently in clinical trial, and research is ongoing. Kentucky also is home to the Kentucky Neurosciences Institute at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, one of only 33 ALS Association Certified Centers nationwide. The centers offer highly specialized care across multiple disciplines for patients and their families.

Since that first ride in May 2010, ITNGC has provided almost 20,000 rides in Cincinnati and expanded service to Northern Kentucky. ITNGC is now offering a “go where you want to go, when you want to go” transportation alternative to residents in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties who live, work or play within the Interstatew 275 loop in Ohio and Kentucky.

by several needs assessment studies. ITNGC’s services have no restrictions. Riders can go anyplace, at any time of day for any purpose. Although 25 percent of the rides given are for medical appointments, consumer, recreation, and employment/volunteering are among the top five ride purpose groups for rides provided by ITNGC.

Toys bring fans fans from across the country By Kamellia Soenjoto Smith
kynews@communitypress.com
What can a toy mean to someone? Jim Black of Indiana had been a fan of Transformers Optimus Prime since he was a kid. “He’s like the embodiment of compassion and loyalty. He would never ask someone to do something that he wouldn’t be willing to do himself,” he explained at Slagacon 2013, a toy and comic convention Oct. 26 and 27 at the Hilton Hotel in Florence. Robert Simmons drove five hours from his home in Tennessee to attend. “At work, I always have toys with me at my desk,” he said. Simmons has a collection of more than 1,600 toys. “I like to fiddle with them when I’m thinking through things as a nice distraction.” He learned to customize toys at the convention during a special workshop. “When you buy a toy from the store, it’s not always exactly what you want,” said Michael Accardi, the instructor, who taught participants how

to assemble and paint their model robots. “You want to make it more unique, make it more like what you want.” “This is fun for me because this is my excuse to get my husband to craft with me,” said Ashley Dethy of Cincinnati. “And it’s my excuse to spend money on toys,” her husband Chandler added with a laugh. A father of three who prefers to be called “Megamus” has more than a thousand toys at his home in Florence. “I actually like the painting and the customizing,” he said, noting that it gives him “a feeling of accomplishment.” Sometimes he does it together with his kids. “It teaches them a little bit of patience.” His store, MegaToyFan, was one of the many doing business at the convention. Some dealers came from as far away as Maryland. Why here? “We’re trying to cover the Midwest,” explained Chad Williams, who has organized the event every year since 2010. Fans also had a chance to meet with voice actors like Jon Bailey, who can be heard on many movie trailers and in the video game series XCOM. “I got the job because I did a good Optimus Prime voice,” he said. But for Bailey, playing with toys didn’t just lead to a job. “I have a son who has autism,” he explained. “Sometimes the only way to get through to him is to use a character voice, whatever he’s in the mood for that day.”

UC Health starts construction in Florence UC Health broke ground last week at what’s to become a new outpatient medical office building in Florence. The two-story building nearly 42,000 square feet – will be at 58 Cavalier Blvd., near Interstates 71/75. The site is expected to be complete in July and is being designed and constructed by Al. Neyer LLC. Up to 30 physicians and 60 staff are expected to occupy the space. UC Health already has orthopaedics and dermatology practices in Northern Kentucky. Those practices will remain open in their current locations (Southgate and Florence) during construction of this building, but will move to the new Cavalier Boulevard facility upon its completion in July. The new building will also al-
low UC Health to add services in Northern Kentucky. It will serve as another one of UC Health’s primary care centers (one of eight opening or relocating in 2014-2015), and will also include specialty practices in cardiology, endocrinology, neurology and obstetrics and gynecology. Peter Iacobell, vice president of strategic planning/development for University of Cincinnati Physicians and UC Health, says the expansion in Florence is part of UC Health’s comprehensive strategy to grow where there is an increasing need for access to quality health care. “Access is a top system priority, so our expansion plan focuses on enhancing access to quality health care – both in terms of geography and spe-

cialty care – for patients throughout the Tristate,” Iacobell says. UC Health is working with Cincinnati-based Al. Neyer to design and construct the space, which will have easy access to parking and an open interior. “We are the leading developer for medical office space in Greater Cincinnati, and we are committed to delivering a stateof-the-art building for UC Health,” said Jim Neyer, exec-
utive vice president. “Our design-build method gives us the edge when defining the project scope and committing to cost early in the process. This greatly benefits UC Health as we are able to move on this project sooner.” Chris Vollmer, SIOR, and Chris Vollmer Jr., members of the Colliers International Healthcare Services Practice Group, represented UC Health in this transaction.
YMCA Camp Ernst wil lhave its specialty camp weekends this fall and winter. The Lumberjack Camp weekend will be Nov. 8-10, and the Winter Wonderland Camp weekend is Dec. 30-Jan. 1. Campers between the ages of 6 and 15 are welcome; fees for individual camp weekends are $115 for YMCA members and $125 for community members. YMCA Camp Ernst is at 7615 Camp Ernst Road in Burlington. “We’re excited to show that YMCA Camp Ernst is much more than a summer fun destination,” said YMCA Camp Ernst Director Elizabeth Cochran. Campers will stay in a centrally heated cabin called Lakeview Lodge with camp counselors, and participate in a jampacked weekend of outdoor activities, including zip-lining, horseback riding, archery, capture the flag, bonfires, and so much more! “At the Winter Wonderland event, campers will ring in the New Year – Camp Ernst style – with songs, dancing, snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn, and other winter activities,” said Cochran. For more information or to register for the camps,contact the YMCA Camp Ernst office at 859-586-6181, or visit the website http://www.MyYCamp.org for a registration form.
