Girl Scouts numerous, helping hands few

By Libby Cunningham Lcunningham@nky.com

There’s more than 500 reasons why adults in Northern Kentucky should volunteer their time.

At least that’s what members of the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road Council say.

Because despite a large number of young girls seeking to discover, connect and take action, there are not enough helping hands to guide them.

“Last year (we had) 670 on a waiting list, every year it’s been pretty consistent,” said center director, Ruby Webster. “Every year it’s been pretty consistent with between 500 to 750 people

on our waiting list.”

To garner volunteers the Girl Scouts have been reaching out, by placing yard signs and sending home fliers, but these methods have helped only with upping the number of eager members.

“A lot of the girls are frustrated because they don’t understand why you don’t have a troop to put them in,” Webster explained.

Girl Scouting has changed since most volunteers were of Scouting age and although traditional troops are still around, there are other ways to get involved.

“When people think about Girl Scouts they think of cookies,” she

THANKS TO RUBY WEBSTER

According to the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road Council, now, more than ever, girls need volunteers to help with activities, such as riding the zip line.

FORT MITCHELL - Curious customers have encouraged a new religious store to open doors earlier than planned.

The Catholic Station, located at 2220 Grandview Drive in Fort Mitchell, opened on Oct. 22. The store is planning a grand opening on Nov. 19.

“Rather than make our customers wait for our official opening when we are up and set and running, we have decided to open our doors while we are still in the setup process,” said part owner Amy Schult. “To give our customers a sneak peek.”

Owned by a group of business partners from both the Cincinnati and Kentucky areas, The Catholic Station will provide the area with a locally owned outlet for religious books and gifts.

“We are blessed to have a lot of the same people who (were) involved in a (Catholic) store (they had) in Burlington,” Schult said.

Emily Stone, 12, traveled from Atlanta to help put finishing touches on The Catholic Station, a new Christian store in Fort Mitchell.

Drunken drivers can’t hide behind Halloween costumes As party-going ghosts and goblins celebrate Halloween this October, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety reminds everyone to keep the party off the road.

“There isn’t a Halloween costume clever enough to hide an impaired driver who has made the poor decision to get behind the wheel,” said Director of Highway Safety Bill Bell. “Whether you’ve had one too many or way too many it is just not worth the risk. Remember,

BRING THIS AD & RECEIVE

The store offers a range of gifts, including Bibles, religious statues, books, artwork as well as supplies for baptisms and Holy Communions.

“There will be many gifts that pertain to all Christian denominations,” Schult said. “Everybody is welcome.”

Schult also said the store will appeal to customers who are tired of online shopping.

“It’s going to bring choices and options, not everybody’s an online shopper,” she said. “We all think people want to see things in their hands. Open a book and flip it.”

If the amount of people popping in to take a look at the venture is any indication, many are already interested.

“We’ve had so many stop in already, which is why we are going to open up (early),” said Ann Haegele, who is also a part owner.

Buzzed driving is drunk driving.”

Nighttime is an especially dangerous time to be on the road, but Halloween night is often one of the deadliest nights of the year for impaired drivers.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2009, 48 percent of all highway fatalities across the nation on Halloween night (6 p.m.

Oct. 31 to 5:59 a.m. Nov. 1) involved a driver or a motor-

cycle rider with a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.08 or higher, which is illegal in every state.

“Don’t make Halloween an event to forget by driving drunk,” said Bell. “It’s a fact that, too often, impaired drivers don’t plan ahead and end up making the roads scarier than their costumes.”

The KOHS recommends these simple tips for a safe Halloween: • Plan a safe way home

said. “It’s way more than cookies. It’s about leadership skills.”

Through programs such as Pathways, which allows girls to participate by choosing a certain skill or subject to study, Teen Leadership Council, which puts together a group of older girls to mentor the younger, as well as day and overnight camps, the time commitment for the activity has lessened.

The time commitment for a volunteer has lessened as well, Webster said, meaning that extra help is sometimes only needed for one day.

Those looking for short-term com-

mitment with a longer time to work with the girls could consider helping with a Pathways, or series, program.

“We say ‘Hey you know everything there is to know about engineering? Do a six-week series on it,” Webster said.

It is these kind of volunteers that Northern Kentucky Girl Scouts need, especially in areas like Covington, Latonia and Newport.

Membership specialist Jontue Lewis said that this year’s recruitment is aimed toward adults in general, especially in “inner city areas.”

Rabbit Hash celebrating steamboat 200th October marks the 200th anniversary of the first steamboat, the New Orleans, traveling along the Ohio River under its own power.

To commemorate the bicentennial, the Rabbit Hash Historical Society will host a Steamboat Festival from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

Steamboat travel “basically changed our whole methods of transportation and commerce,” said local resident and historical society president Don Clare, who kicks the day off with origi-

it really, really changed our culture,” he said.

Development of the steamboat was important for small river communities and “revolutionized” life in areas like Rabbit Hash, he said.

“It sustained life,” he said. “It was our lifeline as far as commerce and trade.”

According to information provided by Clare, retired Army Corps of Engineers historian Chuck Parrish will present a special lecture and video about the New Orleans and the age of steamboats at 1 p.m., followed by the late 19th-cen-

nal river-related music.

The New Orleans was named for its “ultimate destination,” he said.

According to Clare, the idea for the bicentennial celebration came from Hanover College’s Rivers Institute.

“It’s a very important mark in our history because

Paintings, prints and photographs will be on display in the art gallery as well as the Rabbit Hash museum. Local authors

Conference addresses animal hoarding

By Stephanie Salmons ssalmons@nky.com

There’s a line between owning a lot of pets and hoarding animals.

“In my opinion, that line is when you can’t take care of them,” said Susan Fessler, a Boone County animal control officer and president of the Kentucky Animal Care and Control Association.

The American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was present at a conference hosted by the KACCA Oct. 20-21 to help animal control officers address animal hoarding and investigate organized animal fighting activities in their communities.

Fessler said she’s not sure if local animal hoarding cases are becoming more prevalent or if more people are just starting to notice and notify authorities.

The issue is coming more

into the spotlight because of different programs on television channels like Animal Planet, she said.

This year, there was one hoarding case in Boone County where a woman had too many dogs, Fessler said.

“We actually had been there a couple of times in the past year,” she said, but the matter got to a point where the owners couldn’t take care of the animals and animal control had to step in.

Tim Rickey, senior director of the ASPCA’s field investigations and response team, said animal hoarding is “probably the most prevalent form of abuse we deal with.”

The conference was a great opportunity to help local organizations recognize issues such as puppy mills and animal hoarding exist locally, he said.

“My feeling is the problem has always existed,”

Rickey said. Hoarding has been an issue “for a long time,” but is better known today, he said.

Hoarding is a psychological disorder and an uncontrollable impulse, Rickey said.

The ASPCA was participating in a few workshops at the KACCA conference – including an overview of his program so animal control officers in the state understand the resources available and one focusing on the psychological aspect of hoarding.

“I think it’s a great opportunity to really raise the level of awareness to help animal control officers,” Rickey said. “I think that will really pay off at the local level.”

Company’s expansion to create 138 jobs

By Mark Hansel mhansel@nky.com

FLORENCE - Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear joined community leaders and company officials here Oct. 18 to announce a major expansion project at a company that manufactures and markets automobile parts and components.

Linamar Corp. plans to invest $40.8 million in equipment that will bring 138 new jobs to the facility on Industrial Road in Florence.

“The fact that Linamar has chosen to invest more than $40 million and double the size of its workforce in Northern Kentucky speaks volumes to the region’s and the state’s outstanding business climate,” Beshear said.

“The commonwealth is pleased to partner with community leaders and Linamar to make this growth possible.”

Linamar produces engine components for Ford and Chrysler and will add the new equipment to its existing 360,000-square-foot facility. The equipment is expected to be installed immediately, with production scheduled to begin by January.

Beshear credited the region for being able to supply the type of skilled employees that local companies need and singled out two recent Linamar hires for recognition.

Vickie Vinson was laid off from her previous job with a delivery company after 12 years and Bonnie Pryor began looking for work after her husband died in 2009.

“This company has been my saving grace,” Pryor said. “It was a big change, but I love it here.”

Florence Mayor Diane Whalen said it is no accident that the region continues to experience growth, even in difficult economic times.

“Once again, Florence and Northern Kentucky prove that when a positive business climate is present, that includes a skilled workforce and a supportive community, private investment and job creation will follow,” Whalen said.

Last month, Beshear also attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at ZF Steering for the $95.8 million expansion of its new facility in Florence.

The Kentucky Economic

Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved Eagle Manufacturing, a division of Linamar, for tax incentives up to $4.5 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows the company to keep a portion of its investment in the form of corporate income tax credits and wage assessments if it meets job and investment targets.

Boone County Judgeexecutive Gary Moore said incentive programs are a valuable tool to promote economic development in the state.

Earlier in the day, Beshear gave commemorative remarks at Pomeroy in Hebron at a gathering in recognition of the information technology company’s 30th anniversary. Pomeroy provides IT infrastructure and professional and staffing services, as well as procurement and logistics services to companies throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

Beshear wound up his afternoon in Boone County by attending a fundraiser at Karlo’s Bistro Italia on Houston Road in Florence.

Ghosts and goblins filled the Kenton County Public Library earlier this month as children submitted their stories for the Spooky Library contest.

The Covington Library children’s staff read through the 87 entries to pick the top three in each category.

“All of the stories were cute,” said Terri Deibel, children’s librarian. “This was the most entries we had ever received. We read each and every story. We had to make tough decisions.”

The Covington Library has been offering this contest for several years. It’s a way to get the young patrons writing and have some fun doing it. Small prizes will be awarded to each of the winners.

by Jonah House VAMPIRE Black Cape Biting Howling Scaring Fangs Blood Eyes Mouth Haunting Floating Disappearing White Sheet GHOST – Written by Jonah House, a homeschool third-grader from Independence. He chose a poem style called “Diamante.” It compares two different things and describes them both. He loves Halloween and vampires and ghosts.

by Syd Fillhardt

One crisp autumn morning, two days before Halloween, I was sipping hot chocolate at the kitchen table. I heard a knock at the backdoor. Who could that be, I thought as I peeked outside. No one was there. “My ears must be playing tricks on me,” I said to myself. I turned back to take a sip of my drink and all of a sudden

Mr. Robin, my next door neighbor, is in my kitchen! “That was strange, I didn’t hear the door open,” I said to Mr. Robin, “How did you get in?”

“Hello dear, I just walked through the door,” said Mr. Robin.

“I have come to visit with you.” It was 6:30 a.m., but Mr. Robin always came around that time for breakfast.

“Please sit down,” I told him happily. Mr. Robin was a good friend of mine and he always cared about what was going on with me and my family. I felt like I could tell him anything. He is much older and wiser and always offers good advice. He helps me with my homework and I think of him as a grandpa. “I am making pop tarts” I tell him.

“Sounds good to me,” says Mr. Robin as we sit down to eat. I start talking about life in the sixth grade, which has been going hard lately. I have a lot of problems; school demands, friends, the bus ride, my grades, teachers and my family life. He listens to me ramble on. “You have to look at the positive things in your life!” says Mr. Robin, “and I guarantee things will get better for you!” He is probably right I thought. “I will always

be there for you, remember that,” says Mr. Robin.

Thirty minutes later he leaves and goes back to his house. I watched him walk across the yard to his house next door. I felt sad watching him leave, like something was wrong. I have to get moving, so I won’t be late for school.

After school, I walked in the back door, where my mom was sitting at the table with a sad look on her face. “Sit down honey,” says mom, “I need to tell you something.” She told me Mr. Robin had passed away that night in his sleep. I did not know what to say! I had just lost my good friend and had just talked to him this morning, but Mr. Robin died last night! How was this possible?

I suddenly burst into tears.

Between sobs, I tried to tell mom Mr. Robin was at our house this morning, but she said I was mistaken. That could not be possible.

I think he was trying to tell me something, that things would get better. I need to take it one day at a time and he was right. I know for a fact, I had talked to the ghost of Mr. Robin. I will never understand what happened that day. All I know is that the visit was real and that was all that mattered!

– Syd Fillhardt, 11, is in sixth grade at Campbell County Middle School.

He lives on Ridge Hill Drive in Highland Heights.

Once upon a time there lived a ghost, black cat, and a zombie.

They were all friends.

The zombie ate people’s brains, the cat scared people away, and the ghost was never shown to spook anyone. He never waned to hurt people.

One day the ghost went outside and saw many people playing at the playground. There were lots of things to do and play with, but there were too many people at the playground.

Ghost became scared and ran away from home. He went to zombie world at the amusement park. He rode many spooky rides and saw many spooky costumes.

Ghost felt better and he went back home. He told cat and zombie about the playground and how scary it was. Cat agreed that it was dangerous outside.

Zombie thought ghost was brave for going to zombie world.

Zombie went trick-or-treating this year for Halloween and no one hurt him. He said he was more scared when he went to zombie world.

Ghost realized he wasn’t as scared of people as he thought he was. Ghost went to the playground and the kids invited him to play.

Ghost was very happy. Ghost invited cat and zombie to play with him. They all played together that night!

NKU seeks Lincoln Award nominees

By William Croyle wcroyle@nky.com

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS Nominations for Northern Kentucky University’s 21st annual Lincoln Award are being accepted through Nov. 18.

The list of past winners a “Who’s Who” of Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati - includes Carl Lindner, Wendell Ford, Dr. O’dell Owens and R.C. Durr.

The award honors current or former Kentucky, Ohio or Indiana residents who “exemplify the qualities of outstanding citizenship, notable achievement and distinguished service in

their professions and contributions to the Northern Kentucky or Greater Cincinnati community.” Nominees do not have to be affiliated with the university.

“A committee reviews the nominations and makes a recommendation to the president (James Votruba), so he ultimately selects the winner,” said Kathy Stewart, NKU’s director of special events.

Nominations should include specific examples of service or achievement. Up to five letters of support will be accepted for each nominee. Elected and appointed officials are not eligible for the award during their terms.

The winner will be honored at a banquet in April.

The award is named after Abraham Lincoln. In 1981, the NKU Foundation awarded its first Distinguished Public Service Award, recognizing “individuals who have provided exceptional service to NKU through their personal, financial or cultural contributions.” In 1992, the Lincoln Award was established and given to someone based on the same criteria used today.

In 2006, the two awards merged into one. Nominations should include a onepage letter, resume and other supporting documents. The nominee’s

name, job title, address, email and telephone number should be included, along with the name, address and telephone number of the nominator.

Nominations can be emailed to stewartkg@ nku.edu, or mailed to The Lincoln Award Nominating Committee, c/o Kathy Stewart, Northern Kentucky University, Lucas Administrative Center 623, Highland Heights, KY 41099.

Nominations made for the 2011 Lincoln Award may be resubmitted (with updated information, if necessary) to stewartkg@ nku.edu or by calling 859572-5199.

Schools

Thomas More College in Crestview Hills has launched a new three-year degree program that enables motivated undergraduate students in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree a traditional college experience and an extra year of earning power.

TMC3 is a new and innovative program that allows qualified students to save both time and money by completing a traditional four-year bachelor’s degree in just three years.

The three-year degree is completed during the course of eight semesters. Annual tuition and fees for the threeyear program are $15,000.

While TMC3 compresses the time frame for degree attainment by an entire year, the classes themselves are not accelerated.

The structure of TMC3 is year-round, with students taking 18 hours in the fall and spring semesters and 12 hours in two summer terms.

To be considered for the program, students must have a 3.0 GPA in their high school coursework and a 26 ACT composite score or 1190 SAT score.

(Education and nursing majors are not eligible for the three-year degree due to the time constraints of clinicals and student teaching requirements.)

The program is well-suited for students who have earned AP or dual credit.

Although the credit will not reduce the required number of semesters, it can reduce a student’s course load.

Thomas More College Vice President for Student Ser-

vices Matthew Webster explained the new program, “Students will receive the same well-rounded education as all other Thomas More students, including the individual attention that accompanies the college’s 16:1 student-to-faculty ratio. They will take courses pertaining to their major in the fall and spring semesters and complete general education (core curriculum) requirements during the summer term.

There is no additional charge for the summer semester. It’s included in the flat $15,000 annual payment.”

Webster further explained that students who opt not continue in the compressed track have the option of moving to the normal fouryear track at any time during the program.

Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Thomas More College Brad Bielski elaborated on TMC3.

“We’ve developed this program to be sensitive to today’s students’ finances and time constraints, while preserving the academic integrity and rigor that has always been hallmark at TMC. The coursework still reflects a strong emphasis on liberal arts. It’s an ideal program for students who want to gain entry into medical or law school a year earlier or for motivated students who want a head start in the workplace,” he said.

For more information about the three-year degree program, visit thomasmore. edu/tmc3 or contact the admissions office at admissions@thomasmore.edu or 859-344-3332.

Kenton gridiron teams gear up for playoffs

By Adam Turer

presspreps@gmail.com

KENTON COUNTY - With regular season district games in the books, the first round of the Kentucky state football playoffs is set.

While one more regular season game remains for each area team, there is little at stake in the final week of the regular season. It is time to look now at which teams surprised, which teams disappointed, and which teams still have work to do in order to make the 2011 season a success.

Surprises

Two first-year head coaches are in position to guide their respective teams to a .500 season. With wins this week, Josh Stratton’s Lloyd Juggernauts (4-5, 22) and Terry Liggin’s Holmes Bulldogs (4-5, 2-2) will both finish the regular season 5-5. Each coach wanted to post a winning season right away, but considering the circumstances of each program, a non-losing season in year one should be looked at as a success.

Even without a win this week, each coach can still take pride in guiding his team to a four-win season.

Under a new coaching regime, it can sometimes take a program years to post that many victories. Lloyd had only won two games each season for the past three years.

“It is a big deal to get a .500 season,” said Stratton.

“It’s a big deal for our kids to come out and win five games after winning two each of the last three years.”

While they will both be road underdogs in the first round, the programs hope that their regular season success can carry over and lead to an upset or two.

Lloyd has momentum after posting a 28-27 win over Newport on Oct. 21.

Dakota Kidd scored a touchdown and the goahead two point conversion in the final minutes of the third quarter and the defense shut down Newport in the second half to secure the win.

“We are definitely an improved football team," Stratton said. “We want to keep the momentum going that we’ve built over the last few weeks.”

Liggin came to Holmes from out of state and had to prepare the Bulldogs to compete in-district against defending state champion Highlands and a very strong Covington Catholic team. The fact that the Bull-

Disappointments

It was no secret this would be a transitional season for Simon Kenton (2-7, 0-4). The Pioneers graduated offensive superstars Miles Simpson and Chad Lawrence in consecutive years and did not have the firepower to replace their production right away. Still, zero district wins is a disappointment for a proud program that was recently the state runner-up.

A first-round date at national power Louisville Trinity will likely mean a very short and humbling

postseason for the Pioneers in 2011. On the bright side, sophomore quarterback Brennan Kuntz gains valuable experience each week and is starting to seize his opportunities. He completed 15 of 28 passes for 212 yards and a score and rushed 13 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Pioneers’ 28-20 loss to Ironton (OH) Oct. 21.

Unlike Simon Kenton, Dixie Heights entered the 2011 season with high expectations. Led by quarterback Zeke Pike, the Colonels (3-6, 2-2) were expected to be one of the top teams in Northern Kentucky.

Instead, the Colonels failed to earn a home game in the postseason and will travel to Lafayette in the

first round. While a postseason run could salvage the season, few expected a losing year from this talented group. Another big night from Pike and receiver Goose Cohorn ended in another loss for the Colonels, as they fell 38-28 to Ryle on Oct. 21. Pike rushed 46 times for 190 yards and two scores. He also completed 14 of 26 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns, both hauled in by Cohorn.

Scott (3-5, 1-3) travels to play undefeated Franklin County in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. The Eagles had made progress in each of head coach Dave Campbell’s seasons there to date, but seem to have hit a wall this year. In their last district game on Oct. 21,

Work to be Done

Two teams that have neither surprised nor disappointed squared off on Oct. 21. Beechwood 8-1 (3-0) defeated Ludlow (2-7, 1-2), 61-13. The Tigers look ready to make another state title run, scoring more than 60 points for the sixth time in their last seven games.

Cameron Vocke continued to put up huge numbers, rushing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on just six carries. Chris Yates continued to be the Panthers’ main source of offense, scoring both Lloyd touchdowns in the loss.

Covington Catholic (7-2, 3-1) still has work to do to reach its goals. In head coach Dave Wirth’s third season, the Colonels had high hopes for 2011.

“We planned on beating Highlands and winning the district,” Wirth said. “In that way, we failed to meet our expectations we had for ourselves.”

There is a good chance the Colonels will meet up with the Bluebirds again in the postseason. But they cannot look ahead to that potential matchup and must first take care of business in the final week of the regular season and the opening round of the playoffs.

“The biggest obstacles are staying healthy and not looking ahead,” Wirth said.

“We hope to finish the regular season 8-2 and get momentum going into the playoffs. It’s about being in

Our guys have gotten really good at playing week to week.”

Senior running back Gabe Gray set the Colonels’ single-season touchdown record, scoring his 25th of the season during the Colonels’ 34-point second quarter outburst in a 63-0 win over Holmes on Oct. 21. CovCath lost senior offensive lineman Jake Henderson to a leg injury.

Holmes struggled on offense, gaining just 43 yards and two first downs in the first half.

Holy Cross (6-3, 3-1) lost the regular season district title game to Newport Central Catholic, 31-14, Oct. 21. While the Thoroughbreds get the top seed and the Indians earned the second seed, there is a good chance these teams will see each other again soon.

The Indians jumped out to a 14-7 lead thanks to two big plays from Kyle Fuller, who finished with an even 140 yards rushing and 140 yards passing. After a scoreless first quarter, Fuller connected with Eric Walker for a 44-yard scoring strike.

After NewCath tied the game at seven, Fuller put Holy Cross back on top with a 53-yard touchdown run.

The second half was a different story, as the Indians were held to just 81 total yards of offense in the final two quarters. Holy Cross now has a regular season game and possibly two postseason games to tune up for a likely rematch.

PARK HILLS - Their postgame T-shirts promised no second chances, at least to their opponents.

But the seniors on the Notre Dame Academy volleyball team will have a third chance, and a final one, at the state tournament Oct. 28-29 at Bellarmine University in Louisville.

The Pandas (30-5) will get that chance after beating St. Henry 20-25, 25-21, 2515 in the Ninth Region final Oct. 22 at Ryle. NDA will play Southwestern (32-8) in the first round Oct. 28 and would need three wins the next day to win the state title.

“We’ve been playing club together. We know this is our year,” senior hitter Lindsay Hartmann said.

“This is one of the strongest teams we’ve had. We know how each other plays. If someone is down, we know how to pick each other up.”

NDA ousted St. Henry, the 2010 regional champion, after beating the Crusaders 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-23) on Sept. 22.

Notre Dame players celebrate the end of the match for their regional title. Notre Dame beat St. Henry 2-1 to win the Ninth Region title Oct. 22 at Ryle High School in Union. taking set one 25-20 and led 15-12 midway through the second set. The Pandas immediately went on a 7-1 run, and Thelen finished off the set with the last two points. NDA then never trailed in set three.

“We got more focused as the match went on,” said NDA head coach Andrea Lanham. “Until the second game no one was really standing out. During different moments, people stepped up at different times. That’s the point I was stressing on the sidelines: Make a difference.”

Hartmann was tourney MVP, partly for her serves, as she had two key aces late in the third set. She was also strong up front, getting more playing time at the net than she had in recent

matches, Lanham said, because she was playing too well to substitute for.

“After that first game we were a little bit down, but our goal has been to go to state from day one, so we couldn’t give up,” Hartmann said.

Heidi Thelen had 12 kills and four blocks and was alltourney. Senior libero Carley Jones had 27 digs and made the all-tourney team, as did senior Kristen Schellhaas.

Elly Ogle had 32 assists.

The state title road runs through nationally ranked Assumption once again, whom NDA could meet in the semifinals. NDA would have to get past Southwestern and then likely local rival Newport Central Catholic first.

“I’m excited,” Lanham said. “I think we have a real solid team.”

The next six-week fall session of the Kings First Dribbler Basketball Program, for ages 3-5, will start Monday, Nov. 14, at Town & Country Sports & Health Club in Wilder.

Sessions will be 1-1:45 p.m. on Mondays and will be taught by Christi Mack. The program creates a fun, fast-paced learning environment for the youngest basketball players to learn basic basketball fundamentals – ball-control, foot-work and agility.

The goal is to expose children to the game of basketball, while developing a variety of skill sets - physical, mental and social. The cost is $64.

Parties can work together on jobs work as advertised. Yet, the president’s latest idea is another massive spending bill, along with a huge tax hike that will do nothing to help create U.S. Sen. jobs. It’s no wonMitch der that so many McConnell of the Kentuckians I talk to, Community regardless of Recorder political stripe, all guest agree on one columnist thing: the solutions coming out of this administration simply miss the mark.

If the president and the liberals in Washington had gotten their way, American businesses would be stuck with a permanent tax hike on job creators. That would stifle economic growth and lead to fewer jobs, not more.

The president’s latest stimulus proposal has bipartisan opposition in the Senate. But that has not stopped him and his liberal allies

from continuing to pursue the same, failed approach of taxing and spending our way to prosperity.

It’s not too late for both parties to work together on legislation that can really create jobs.

Recently I joined my friend Sen. Rand Paul to introduce the Jobs Through Growth Act, a commonsense proposal that will remove the government-imposed obstacles to job growth and get our economy moving again.

It begins with tax reform – lowering the top income and corporate tax rates, simplifying the tax code, eliminating subsidies and closing loopholes to create a better, fairer tax system that will be better for individuals and small businesses.

It includes a moratorium on new government regulations which are stifling job growth in this country. It repeals and in some cases prevents burdensome regulations like those dealing with greenhouse gas emissions and farm-dust regulations that are both absurd and economically disastrous.

Our proposal would spur energy production by allowing more min-

ing and exploration. This will not only create jobs, it will also lower energy costs.

Most importantly, our proposal does all of this without massive government spending. It puts us on the path to fiscal responsibility by including a balanced budget amendment. These measures will spur job growth without adding to our federal debt.

It takes a growing, dynamic private sector to create quality jobs and long-term economic growth in America – not massive government spending and bureaucracy. It’s not too late for both parties to work together in Washington to help make that happen. So far the president doesn’t seem to have gotten the message.

But Republicans are ready to work with him when he drops the plans that have proven to be ineffective and joins us in a new bipartisan approach. The millions of Americans still struggling to find work should expect nothing less.

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Louisville, is the senior Senator from Kentucky.

Managed care will hurt Ky. patients on Medicaid Back in May, I had a letter published in which I said that Governor Beshear’s managed care program would have a substantial and negative impact on Medicaid.

I said the managed care program would take existing dollars away from services to pay for a layer of bureaucracy between the Medicaid Department and the Medicaid providers and that the bureaucracy would sop up about 20 percent of the Medicaid budget for fees and profits.

I said any savings would come from even more cutting of services to people who need them. But, now that we are closer to implementation, things look much worse.

Many people are going to be seriously hurt.

Beshear has contracted with three out-of-state, for-profit managed care organizations (MCOs).

Each has formed a Kentucky MCO Corporation and each is required to have offices in Kentucky. They are now contracting with service

providers.

Two of the MCOs had management problems where upper levels of management were terminated. One had to pay a fine of $170 million for misdeeds in Florida.

All of this managed care contracting was done unilaterally by Beshear. The legislature had nothing to do with it. No legislation allowing the contracting was passed by the legislature.

Usually, a contracting process takes a year to 18 months to complete. However, Beshear gave the MCOs 90 days to sign up providers and to organize their lists of people getting Medicaid services. That period was extended to Nov. 1.

Under the MCO program, providers of Medicaid services (hospitals, primary care physicians, behavioral health care centers, and others) were required to contract

THANKS TO KIMBERLY TANEY

One of the biggest concerns I hear from constituents across Kentucky is the lack of jobs. In America today, 14 million people are unemployed and 4.5 million of them have been out of work for a year or more.

Here in Kentucky, the unemployment rate is 9.7 percent, higher than the national average. People are rightfully demanding the federal government, at the very least, not make things worse when it comes to job creation.

I hear your concerns, and I’m working hard to make the situation better. First, let me describe recent events in Washington that have brought us to this point.

Three years ago, the president pushed through his so-called stimulus bill, which was supposed to revive the economy and keep unemployment below 8 percent.

Now, $825 billion later, we have a bad economy that became worse, record deficits and debts, a first-ever credit downgrade, a national unemployment rate of 9.1 percent, and 1.5 million fewer jobs.

Clearly, the stimulus bill didn’t

with each of the three MCOs. This means each provider will have three service payers to contend with instead of just one as before, Medicaid.

Adding to the complexity will be the need to keep track of the people who move in and out of Medicaid and between each of the MCOs. This will cause poor continuity of care. People will be treated later in their illnesses and that will result in more expensive types of treatment.

Beshear said Medicaid managed care would create about 550 new jobs. That will create a huge surge of hiring by the MCOs, the service providers and the Medicaid Department. MCOs need staff people to keep up with all of the payment, authorization procedures and their lists of clients. Providers need staff to keep up with the three MCOs, each with their own billing, client lists and authorization methods.

The money going to Medicaid services will be reduced because of the MCO related bureaucracies.

Based on experiences elsewhere, it is expected that the MCOs will take 10 percent off the top for profit. Another 10-15 percent will be taken for the MCO’s staffing expenses. Another 10-20 percent will go for additional staff at the provider and the Medicaid Department levels.

All told, as much as 45 percent of the money allocated by the state for Medicaid services could be used for the bureaucracies instead of services depriving a lot of people of the health care they need.

Worst of all, the MCOs have instituted plans to deliberately reduce the number of people allowed to access Medicaid services.

All in all, the MCO effort will be to deny Medicaid to greater numbers of people and people needing help will get be hurt. Nice job, governor.

So what’s all the hype and fanfare about this Don Clare Steamboat Bicentennial?

Boone County Just another Historic bicentennial Preservation event in this Review Board country of ours that is getting older. Before long, everything will be 200 years old!

To a lot of people, it’s just another mark of time. Nothing really special. But to those who embrace their heritage, the Steamboat Bicentennial happens to be one of the major milestones in the progress of the human race in North America. In October 1811, Nicholas Roosevelt (yes, THE Roosevelt family) did what very few people throughout history were able to accomplish. He changed American civilization and sparked the technological and industrial revolution in this young country of ours.

By conquering the power of the downstream current of the Western Rivers system, Roosevelt (with the financial support of his two supporters, Robert Fulton and Robert Livingston) singlehandedly changed our commerce, our economy, the ease and speed of personal communication, and the skeptic views concerning the benefits of harnessing the amazing power of steam.

It brought all aspects of the Southern culture to the North, and the northern culture to the South.

It equally changed the lives of blacks, whites and Native Americans, though this change was not always good. It essentially initiated the permanent displacement of the American Indian from his native homeland. It expedited the movement of slaves from the deep South to the northern states early on, and later provided the ease and economy of “selling them down the river” when the circumstances called for a punitive change.

The changes brought about by the successful conquest of the steamboat over the downstream river current brought about happiness and riches as well as the first competitive consumer market. But at the same time, it brought sorrow and pain to some: people whose lives and families would be displaced by the ease of locomotion.

It opened interstate as well as international trade and commerce.

It was the single-most culturalchanging event in our history.

And it remained so until the advent of the computer age and the World Wide Web technology hit the scene. Millions upon millions of people lamented the recent passing of Steve Jobs because of the impact of his life’s work on the rest of humanity.

How many people lamented the passing of Nicholas Roosevelt, whose life’s work also affected an entire nation?

Learn more about the impact and significance of the very first steamboat to successfully negotiate the currents of our western inland river system exactly 200 years ago. Come to the Rabbit Hash Steamboat Bicentennial on Saturday, Oct. 29, from noon to 6 p.m. and experience a very significant aspect of our Ohio River history and heritage.

Make a bowl of Chex mix with some kick to it One of my favorite Halloween traditions is taking the grandkids to buy their Halloween costumes.

Luke is going to be a ninja, Will a S W A T t e a m member Rita and Jack a Heikenfeld T r a n s former Rita’s kitchen b u m b l e bee.

I’m not sure at this writing what Little Eva will be, but I think she’s favoring Tinkerbell.

2 cups tiny pretzel twists 1 stick butter or margarine Up to 1⁄4 cup Buffalo hot wings sauce or to taste 1 pouch dry ranch salad dressing mix 2 teaspoons celery seed Mix cereals, crackers and pretzels. Set aside while bringing butter, hot sauce, dressing mix and celery seed to a simmer.

Pour over cereal mixture and mix. Microwave on high, uncovered, four to five minutes, stirring thoroughly every two minutes.

Spread on paper towels to cool and store in covered container.

Spicy Buffalo Chex Mix

Marshmallow balls, tombstones or ghosts

“Help! I lost the recipe for spicy buffalo Chex mix. It was a hit for my Halloween party last year and I want to make it again.”

The recipe has taken on cult status – it’s that popular.

3-4 cups each: Rice Chex and Wheat Chex cereal 2 cups favorite cheese flavored crackers

This is one of those recipes that lends itself to endless variations. Add up to 1 cup M&M candies, chopped peanuts, raisins or your favorite combo to the popped corn.

1

⁄2 cup popcorn, popped or 1 bag microwave popcorn, popped (10-12 cups popped corn)

More halloween recipes!

Cooking with Rita at cincinnati.com

10 oz. bag mini marshmallows 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla Melt marshmallows and butter over low heat. Add vanilla and blend. Pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn mixture.

Mix gently with sprayed spatula and form into shapes with sprayed hands or pour into sprayed 13-by9 pan (when chilled, use cookie cutters in desired shapes or just cut into squares).

Scott & Sandy’s Zuppa Toscana soup like Olive Garden

For Steve Braden, along with a “loyal reader” who

wanted this for an adult Halloween party.

Reader John Walker sent in a recipe, as well – “dead on like Olive Garden’s,” he said. I couldn’t open the recipe attachment the way he sent it so I’m hoping he’ll re-send.

11⁄2 cups sausage 3 ⁄4 cup diced onion 6 slices bacon 1 1⁄4 teaspoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons chicken broth 1 quart water 2 potatoes, sliced 2 cups kale 1 ⁄4 cup whipping cream Optional but good: pinch red pepper flakes.

Cook sausage and leave in chunks. Drain. Cook onion and bacon until onion is translucent.

Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add rest of ingredients and simmer up to 30 minutes.

Rita’s Zuppa Toscana soup like Olive Garden

A class favorite.

1 pound Italian sausage, regular or hot (I used hot) 1 generous pound potatoes, peeled if you want and diced 1 large onion, chopped 5-8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled 1 tablespoon garlic Several handfuls fresh greens, torn (Swiss chard, spinach or kale) 1 quart chicken broth 2 cups water 1 cup whipping cream or half & half Salt and pepper Sprinkling of Romano for garnish Sauté sausage, potatoes, onion and garlic together.

Drain fat.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Soup not thick enough?

Start adding instant mashed potato flakes a little at a time, stirring and allowing time for them to thicken.

Boxed made better

Blueberry muffins with lemon glaze. My sister, Madelyn Zimmerman, brought blueberry muffins to a luncheon I had.

They had a tart/sweet lemon glaze that made everyone want seconds.

Madelyn told me: “It’s a box mix but I added lemon zest to the muffin batter and made a glaze with confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice.

I let the muffins cool five minutes and then brushed the glaze on.”

Time to shut down the yard for the 2011 season OK, so October is gone, and you’re thinking to yourself, “What should I be doing in the yard before the season is over?”

Well, my friend, here is your “Yardening Checklist” for November.

By the way, remember “fall is for planting,” and fall ends on Dec. 21.

So as long as the weather is good, you can keep on planting!

• Keep planting those trees and shrubs. Keep watering newly planted plants as needed until just before Christmas.

• Plant spring flowering bulbs. Don’t forget to plant a few in pots to bring indoors next spring.

• Plan and plant paperwhite and amaryllis bulbs for holiday colors as well as throughout the winter season.

• Check stored summer bulbs for any rotting and remove affected bulbs / tubers.

• Inspect tropical plants brought indoors for insects.

Rinse off plants every 2-3 weeks to help keep indoor bugs under control.

Decrease watering and fertilizing for the winter months.

• Set up a grow light or fluorescent light and grow

clean those garden tools.

• Do not winter mulch roses until soil temperatures have reached into the 30s.

Mulch your strawberry plants.

• Keep mowing until the lawn stops growing. At that time, give the lawn its final feeding with a high N fertilizer.

• Tie multi-stemmed arborvitae together in the middle of the plant to prevent snow and ice separating the stems (panty hose works great).

• Late November / December, spray evergreens with WiltStop for winter protection.

• Take your mower and have it serviced – including sharpening the blades!

• Feed the birds and make sure they have a source of water.

• Order next year’s seed catalogs so you’ll have

some great reading and inspiration over the w i n t e r Ron Wilson months.

In the Pre-holigarden day tip: With the upcoming holidays, that usually means an increase in food intake. And in many cases, food that may be a little bit higher in calories than usual.

Well, just remember that working in the yard is one of the best calorie-burning, weight-shrinking, stressrelieving activities you can do – and raking is high on the list.

Former Xavier basketball star offers hoops clinics As many people know, playing a sport requires not just athletic ability, but a passion and drive that few have.

Sherwin Anderson, former captain of Xavier’s men’s basketball team, has seen this aspect of sports play out not just on the court, but in life.

“Building kids confidence with what they have a passion for makes them a stronger person on the court and in life,” said Anderson, who has been training local basketball players for more than 12 years. “If kids have confidence, success is going to come their way.”

Anderson offers basketball training sessions across the Tristate, with a child’s first visit free.

“I want an opportunity to meet kids, see their strengths and what options

there are for them within our program,” said Anderson. “Basketball can be an avenue for many talented youth to see their full potential.”

Anderson has trained current Xavier’s starting point guard Tu Holloway, James Posey, former XU player and currently under contract with Indiana Pacers, and Mel Thomas, who lead Mount Notre Dame to its first Ohio State basketball championship before going on to play for University of Connecticut.

Anderson offers families a free, one-time evaluations and observation at his Saturday morning clinics at Better Bodies Fitness on Buttermilk in Crescent Springs.

For more information, call Sherwin at 513-6027827.

Mehling attends program on child abuse, neglect Kenton County Family Court Judge Christopher J. Mehling, who serves Kenton County, participated in the Child Abuse and Neglect Institute Aug. 22-26 in Louisville.

This was the first time Kentucky had hosted the national training program, which has only been offered in three other states outside of its usual venue of Reno, Nev. The institute was for Family Court judges and circuit and district judges who handle family law cases.

Women artists invited to submit applications FRANKFORT – The Kentucky Commission on Women is seeking a female artist from Kentucky to paint the 2012 “Kentucky Women Remembered” exhibit honorees.

Submit samples of work with your application form by Nov. 2. An application is available on the KCW website at www.women.ky.gov.

“Kentucky Women Remembered” began in 1978 and consists of portraits depicting exceptional women in Kentucky’s history. The exhibit found a permanent home in the Capitol in 1996 after many years of traveling around the state.

brought together national and local faculty to teach on core topics including hearing practices, child development, substance abuse and cutting-edge court Mehling improvement development. Participants also heard from Kentucky youths about their experiences in foster care.

“It speaks highly of the Kentucky Judicial Branch that a program of this

caliber was presented here,” said Deputy Chief Justice Mary C. Noble of the Supreme Court of Kentucky. “This was a rare opportunity to get in-depth training on child abuse issues and I appreciate the judges who gave this topic their full attention for several days.”

The Administrative Office of the Courts hosted the event with federal grant funds it received through the Kentucky Court Improvement Project.

Join fight to stop diabetes During American Diabetes Month in November, the American Diabetes Association is rallying Greater Cincinnati residents to take action and join in the fight to stop diabetes.

The association will host a kickoff event 8-11 a.m.

Nov. 5 at the Countryside YMCA in Lebanon.

Attendees will learn important information on how they can confront, fight and stop diabetes. You can also get your glucose tested to see if you are at

risk.

The ADA will also include some fun activities the whole family can enjoy.

For more information about the kickoff event, contact Sarah DeLaat via email at sdelaat@diabetes.org or by phone, 513-759-9330, ext.

6661.

Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes, including 200,000 in the Greater Cincinnati area. An additional 79 million Americans are at high risk for

type 2 diabetes.

“Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes,” stated Maurice Huey, executive director of the ADA of Greater Cincinnati. “As a community, we need to make a pledge to do everything we can to end this disease. We are asking everyone to raise their hand to stop diabetes, whether it is attending this event or getting involved in other ways.’”

Get help with weatherization People Working Cooperatively (PWC), a local nonprofit that provides critical home repair, weatherization, modification and maintenance services to help residents stay safely in their homes, is actively seeking weatherization clients in Northern Kentucky.

Need get out of ‘jail’ free card?

Monopoly, the board game of all board games; we still play it at our house.

And the “Get out of jail free” card is a tool we love to have in our arsenal for winning.

Funny thing, though. No one really seems to mind being put in “jail.” Yes, of course it’s only a game, but is there more to it than that?

If you think about it, jail isn’t really a game-changing factor in Monopoly because it’s not the object of our focus. We are focused on our next move, the hotels and properties that are still up for grabs and the amount of money we have left. We’re not worried about “jail” because eventually we know we will get out.

What about life? How many of us are in a “jail” of sorts? The jail of my negative thoughts; guilt and shame about past mistakes that torment me so loudly I often think those around me can “hear” what I’m thinking. The jail of a broken relationship; a physical pain that hurts and immobilizes me to the point that I can’t get out of bed and feel as though my heart may liter-

ally be breaking. Or the jail of strongholds; behaviors and/or friendships that keep me stuck and halt my ability to move forward in healthy relationships, jobs, and most importantly my walk with Christ.

Yes, Monopoly is just a game and life is very real (and not quite as fun sometimes) but there is still a great lesson to be learned and it’s not an entrepreneurial one.

It’s about focus. In the game of Monopoly if our focus were on being in jail, we would most certainly stay there. But it’s not. Our focus is on getting “out” of jail, so therefore we do whatever it takes to get out.

Where is my focus today? Is it on the “jails” of

my life? Is my day filled with thoughts of debt, shame, fear, worry? Or is my focus today on getting out of “jail”? Paul wrote one of his most uplifting messages of hope and joy while in a literal prison. The book of Philippians, shares the secrets for us to unlocking our prison doors. In Philippians 4:8 Paul provides vital instructions, “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise .. Then the peace of God will be with you.”

The peace we so long for in life requires a constant and determined focus on God and His goodness.

That’s your Get out of “Jail” Free card.
