Dispatch $4.5M savings may be lost Multiple centers cutting into savings By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

INDEPENDENCE — When Kenton County leaders started talking about dispatch consolidation, they said up to $4.5 million could be saved during the first five years, but as long as more than one center operates, those savings continue to disappear. A document on the county website, www.kentoncounty.org, compares the costs of building a new dispatch center for a combined operation, moving in or adding

on to an existing building, or continuing to operate two centers. The cost comparison, prepared by county staff and reviewed by Erlanger representatives at joint meetings, shows an estimate of more than $1.6 million to build a new structure or $450,000 to add on to the current center. In January, the Kenton County Fiscal Court approved a $530,916 contract to add 2,700 square feet to the Kenton County Police Department, at 11777 Madison Pike, which houses the dispatch center. Five years of operating a single county-wide dispatch center was projected to cost $23,754,235, compared to

$28,279,079 to continue both the Erlanger and Kenton County operations. That difference yields the $4,524,844 savings touted by Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arlinghaus. “All the numbers that we talk about in that savings are under the assumptions that we have one single center, not two,” he said. Arlinghaus said costs are saved by staffing one center and having to upgrade only one center’s computers every six years at a cost of $1 million per center. Erlanger Mayor Tom Rouse said he’s not ready to join the county system, and that Erlanger residents support that decision. “Erlanger has always dis-

patched its own personnel since the walkie-talkie was invented. Our police, fire, rescue and maintenance folks are used to having hands-on emergency communications, and we’ve always been able to afford it ourselves. It’s served Erlanger very well,” said Rouse. Before Covington joined Kenton dispatch in September 2012, the center provided communications for Fairview, Independence, Kenton Vale, Ryland Heights, Taylor Mill and unincorporated parts of the county. Bromley, Fort Wright, Ludlow and Park Hills joined March 1. According to Kenton County Executive Director of Emergency Communications Ed Butler, the cities of Crestview Hills,

Edgewood, Fort Mitchell, Lakeside Park and Villa Hills have dropped their land-line fees, but have taken no formal action to join county operations. Arlinghaus said representatives of Kenton, Erlanger and Covington dispatch centers agreed none of their existing sites could house county-wide operations. Anticipating a county-wide dispatch center, Kenton County leaders approved an $85 parcel fee in August 2012 for every county property to replace the land-line telephone fees, and four months later, $604,000 was refunded to residents of Erlanger and Crescent Springs beSee SAVINGS, Page A2

Community soldiers combine forces for good By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

INDEPENDENCE — An army is rising up in south Kenton County, assembling their ranks and uniting their might to help local children in need. Kambie Thomas-Perkins is one of about two dozen members of the Kenton County Independent Army, a group of friends, family members and neighbors, who want to provide support for the community. The group includes men and women, grandparents and teenagers, all with a common goal, which is reflected in their name. “Kenton County was a given as we wanted to demographically help our neighbors,” she said. “Independent Army was a given because each of us that are helping independently stepped up to do so, which has now created an army. We are soldiers. Anyone can help, sign up and give back to the community. Our slogan is local hearts lending local hands.” They’re hosting a community yard sale from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 23, next to China King on Declaration Drive, to help raise money and gather items to support Kenton County Schools’ Family Resource Centers. Donated items should be clean, gently used and in working order.

The event will also include a lemonade stand and a bake sale. KCIA members will pick up donated items for the sale, up to the event date. For more information, email kentonindependentarmy@gmail.com or call Perkins at 859-356-1447. Perkins said future plans include a walk-a-thon and a “huge event” at the Kenton County Fairgrounds in October that will include vendors, crafts and several other organizations. “We need help,” said Ann Noland. “We need help with all the events if anyone wants to volunteer their time.” She said she decided to get involved, not just to help people, but also because she didn’t know that such needs existed locally. “I don’t think I realized how needy some people are, especially kids in school,” she said. “I’ve been educated. I didn’t know that some kids don’t have food to eat after they leave school for the day until they come back the next day.” Devon Kayse and her two older children, Katlynn and Courtney, have joined with their friends for the army because of their own experiences. “I have a large family with six children. A lot of people helped us out in the past, and I just want to give back,” said Kayse.

Members of the Kenton County Independent Army hope to provide supplies such as canned food, clothing and cash support to Family Resource Centers in local schools. AMY SCALF/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

Community Recorder ERLANGER — If you’re used to lighting up outside Kenton County Public Library locations in Covington, Erlanger and Independence get ready for them to go smoke-free this April. Patrons are being asked to butt out starting April 1. But officials with the library know it’s hard to quit, so they’re teaming up with Remke biggs to sponsor smoking cessation sessions. Starting Feb. 25 Connie FlynnCQ and Dottie PleinessCQ of Remke bigg’s will facilitate a 13-week program that follows the Cooper/Clayton method of smoking cessation at the Erlanger branch of the library. The library’s board decided to go smoke-free to provide a healthier environment, said

joining her in Erlanger, which will provide support. “It’s going to be nice to kind of have a buddy there to work through it,” she said. For Johnson, who lost her father and grandfather to lung cancer, the benefits of quitting smoking are vast and butting out will save her a large amount. “My cigarettes went up. I was paying $18 a carton. I buy a generic kind that’s made around here,” she said. “Overnight it went up to $32. If I buy two or three cartons a month that’s $100 I could save for a vacation.” Although she’s concerned about losing her stress relief, Johnson’s determined to see the program through and quit for good. “I’m going to be healthier, hopefully my blood pressure will go down and I’m going to save money,” she said. “One thing I did notice when I smoked before and when I quit, it sounds weird, but you stink and don’t realize it.” Vol. 2 No. 38 © 2013 The Community Recorder ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

No matter what, Arlinghaus maintains that dollars are not the most important savings to be had. “My number one reason for this merger is the safety factors that come with it. The ability for the first line responders to have better communications, so when you call in on a 911 call, your chances are much greater that you're going to get the right center. That means the first line responders are getting communications quicker and that means emergency personnel goes out where they need to go even faster. That means saving lives,” he said.

St. E’s kicks off cancer prevention study Community Recorder EDGEWOOD — The claws of cancer can dig deep into Northern Kentucky families, something Tina Mason knows firsthand. The Alexandria resident joined more than 30 people in a conference room at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Edgewood on Feb. 27 to kick off a cancer study that could lead to new takes on cancer prevention. “Cancer touched our lives,” said Mason, who works for St. Elizabeth. “My mother, my father, my brother.

March. It’s hit my life pretty hard.” St. Elizabeth and the American Cancer Society are hoping to hit back

with Cancer Prevention Study-3, research both groups hope will bring more people more birthdays. Previous cancer prevention studies have linked smoking to developing cancer. This study will look at lifestyle factors that could be causes. The only thing the groups need are volunteers, ages 30-65, who haven’t been diagnosed with cancer to offer some time for the study. “Thirty years ago, 40 years ago research linked smoking to cancer, now it’s a ‘duh’ moment,” said Eric Walker, associate director for mar-

keting and communications with the American Cancer Society’s midsouth division. Hoping to enroll 500 people in the area, so far 325 have signed up to take part. All that’s required of participants is an initial blood sample and waist measurement, followed by surveys they will receive over the next 20 years. Enrolling only takes about 30 minutes, said American Cancer Society representative Matt Vamvas. Volunteers, like Carolyn Eickhoff of Florence, are eager to help. “I just think this is an

exciting thing that can really just change a lot of things going on,” she said. “I want to be part of this.” Mason, who runs a Relay for Life in Campbell County, agrees. Mayor Diane Whalen of Florence and Cathy Halloran, an 11-year breast cancer survivor, also spoke about why people should take part in the study. “We can make history together, we are here for one purpose, also to take care of one another,” Halloran said.

Sartori rewarded for volunteer investment ascalf@nky.com

EDGEWOOD — Crest-

view Hills resident Paul Sartori has been investing his time as a volunteer for St. Elizabeth Healthcare for 23 years. In his regular job, Sartori is a partner in a Covington-based wealth management firm. But as a volunteer, he’s been a member of the St. Elizabeth Foundation, serving as chairman for the past six years. “What I have come to realize is that volunteer work is like anything else you ever do: The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, and I’ve gotten more out of being a volunteer than I ever put in,” he said. “I’m honored just being involved in such a first-class organization. It has benefited me, that’s for sure.” Sartori was given the foundation’s Joseph W. Gross Leadership Award in February, an honor that recognizes exceptional leadership and dedication to the organization.

Dads make time for Twenhofel family program By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

INDEPENDENCE — Mike and Rachel Bush both have busy lives, full of activities and responsibilities, but the father and daughter team up once a month for an All Pro Dad program at Twenhofel Middle School. All Pro Dad is a national program that provides resources for men through 974 Chapters in 43 states and on the website, www.allprodads.com. There are 26 chapters in Kentucky, including programs at Kenton, River Ridge, Ryland Heights and Taylor Mill elementary schools. “We’ve always put a lot of focus on doing things together as a family, so whenever my kids ask me to go to something, I wouldn’t miss the opportunity,” he said. “My kids are some of my best friends.” Their family also includes mom, Mary, and Rachel’s older brother, Jacob, who attends the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The Twenhofel All Pro Dad program took place at 7 a.m. on Friday, March 1, and featured the topic “Enjoy Life.” The school’s Youth Service Center Coordinator Jamie Gastright said 35 dads and 39 children participated in the program, which included breakfast from the Houston Road Chickfil-A in Florence. She said the dads were encouraged “to discuss the silly times with their children and to be reminded how fun it is to be a dad.” Bush said the morning meeting time was convenient for him, but he’d make sure the program fit into his schedule no matter what. “For something like that, any time of the day I would set aside time,” he said. “It was nice, be-

Bolden, Bulldogs set foundation for future By James Weber jweber@nky.com

LEXINGTON — James Bolden became a big name during the KHSAA Sweet 16 boys basketball tournament. He and the Holmes boys basketball team will miss three seniors who led the Bulldogs to the state quarterfinals before losing to Madison Central March 8 at Rupp Arena. Starting guards DaQuan Palmer and B.J. Coston, and center Chris Englemon were part of the foundation head coach Jason Booher set when he arrived in Covington three years ago. “I told all three, when I took this job, those were my starters and what we were trying to build,” Booher said. “They’ve been with me through this whole ride and I love them to death. They’ve done a great job. They’ve molded into great basketball players plus great leaders and captains.” The Bulldogs lost 65-61 to Madison Central in overtime in the quarterfinals, ending the season 32-3. Two of the losses ended in overtime, the third on a half-court shot. “I’m so proud of my team,” Booher said. “We played a really good team today. I told them they had to go to war for 32 minutes and I lied to them: They had to go 36 minutes. I know the city of Covington is proud of the

kins, who had 31 points. Hawkins is a Mr. Basketball finalist who had 24 points after halftime. Bolden scored 17 of his 29 after halftime. The second half and overtime went back and forth with the star guards trading shots. See HOLMES, Page A6

Dave Mumm takes over as head coach this year. He inherits two seniors in first baseman/ pitcher Tanner Watts and pitcher/infielder Nick Long. He expects good seasons from both. Other players to watch include junior catcher Austin Simpson, freshman pitcher/outfielder Kyrie Glover and pitcher/infielder David Varney. Mumm said the Bulldogs have a lot of team speed and should be improved over last season.

Beechwood

Bob Mullins takes over as head coach for longtime head man Bob Myerhoff. He inherits a Tigers team that went 16-19 last season. His top returners include junior shortstop/pitcher Jason Suchanek, senior outfielder Justin Parker, senior pitcher/first baseman Blake Schuman, junior second baseman Trevor Booth and senior outfielder/infielder Ryan Rengering. He has five starters returning overall. Mullins said the team should have good speed and be strong defensively.

Covington Catholic

Bill Krumpelbeck wins 20 games a season like clockwork. The longtime Colonels head coach has maintained that streak by being able to reload when necessary. That will be the task this year after the Colonels graduated a nearly all-senior starting lineup from last year’s 33-6 team that won the 35th District title be-

fore losing to Dixie Heights in the Ninth Region quarterfinals. Junior Grant Schreiver is the top returning starter, and one of the top hitters in the area. He has verbally committed to Louisville. Seniors listed on this year’s roster include pitcher Nick Davis, catcher Nate Kunkel, infielder Matt Litzler, pitcher/infielder Daniel Schumate and pitcher/outfielder David Zalla. CovCath will start the season playing Bishop Brossart and Louisville St. Xavier at Lexington Catholic March 15-16. CCH’s

first home game is April 3 against Cooper.

Covington Latin

Joe Gray takes over as head coach for the Trojans who are looking to make up for a winless 2012. Returning starters are senior catcher Patrick Clancy, senior third baseman George Rice, senior shortstop Nick Pilcher, senior outfielder Daniel James, senior outfielder Nick Roettker, senior David Nussman, junior first baseman Tyler Schriver, junior pitcher Jude Noel and ju-

nior infielder Alex Green. Top newcomers include freshman second baseman Michael Elmlinger, prep year catcher River Carpenter and prep-year pitchers Josh Frommeyer and Micah Gray.

Dixie Heights

Chris Maxwell returns for his 31st season as head coach, looking for his 600th win as he enters this season 15 away with 585 victories. His top returners are senior catcher/pitcher/first baseman Eric Elkus, senior pitcher/left

Pat Ryan is the new head coach this year for the Indians, who were 25-12 last year. He replaces Mike Holtz, who joined the Holy Cross administration over the winter. Ryan, an assistant to Holtz, was last a head coach in 1985. While his Indians lost eight seniors from last year including some of their top players from the past decade, they return two of the top players in the area in seniors Conner Callery and Blake Tiberi. Both are four-year starters and accomplished lefthanded hitters and infielders. Callery will play for Ohio University and Tiberi for Louisville. “The accolades they have received through their careers as players at Holy Cross are much See BASEBALL, Page A6

After, Bolden felt bad for his departing teammates. “The three seniors, they fought, they scrapped and did whatever they could,” Bolden said. “They came through all the time. I just wanted to do it for them. For them to come up short like this, I’m speechless.” Bolden had 13 rebounds against Madison Central following up a 19-point, four-assist performance in the first round. His performance drew praise from statewide media covering the event and opposing head coaches. Also, interest from Kentucky head coach John Calipari, who was at Rupp Arena primarily watching Hawkins but eventually spoke to Booher following the game. Booher came to Holmes from Shelby Valley, where he won the state title in 2010 with Mr. Basketball Elisha Justice, who went on to play for Louisville. “The good thing is I’ve been through this with Elisha Justice, so I’ve been able to use that experience to try to counsel him of what is going to be expected through the whole ride,” Booher said. “He’s been trained on how to handle all of this, plus he’s a natural. He goes out there and plays and does what he’s supposed to do. He put on a good show today.” Coston, Palmer and junior Quinton Chames

all had nine points against MC. Englemon had eight rebounds. Englemon had 12 points and 18 rebounds in Holmes’ 65-60 win over Pleasure Ridge Park in the first round. “On the biggest stage in the state of Kentucky, he had 18 rebounds against the size of players you saw PRP had,” Booher said of Englemon. “I told him you’ve got to go to war for me tonight for 32 minutes and that’s exactly what he did.” Coston had 23 points against PRP, hitting five three-pointers. Against Madison, he guarded Hawkins, which was a factor in Coston going 0for-6 from 3-point range. “I figured he would struggle simply because he had the biggest task on the floor,” Booher said. “I told him the reason you’re guarding Hawkins is because you’re strong.” The Bulldogs will have to replace three starters but have high hopes for returning to Rupp in 2014. “We have really good players returning next year,” Booher said. “(Bolden) is a special player. These guys have really got to put in a good offseason. Our region is tough getting out of. We have a regional championship JV team coming back, too, so I’m really excited about the future of Holmes basketball.”

deserved,” Ryan said. “Some players are skilled offensively and some are skilled defensively, but these two young men are highly skilled on both sides of the line.” Other top returners include senior outfielder Vinnie Pangallo and senior outfielder/first baseman Mike Hewitt. Senior Nate Cox returns to the mound after battling injuries last season. Top newcomers include sophomore pitcher/ infielder/outfielder Jared Seibert, junior infielder/ pitcher Trevor Niehaus, junior catcher/pitcher Travis Webster, junior outfielder/pitcher Trevor Kincaid, junior outfielder/ pitcher Keaton Harvard, junior outfielder Tyler Hoog and junior first baseman/pitcher Jake Ketron. Hewitt and Pangallo will be key to protecting Callery and Tiberi in the order. The Indians are inexperienced on the mound behind Tiberi and Cox.

fun group to be around because of their general attitudes and work ethic. I have yet to have an instance where I have had to ask them to work harder. They already have an expectation of that and are passing it on to younger guys. If we can perform offensively, I think we have an excellent shot at getting back to the Ninth Region tournament.” The Juggernauts will start the season at home against Bellevue March 18.

The Juggernauts were 16-19 last year, suffering an extra-inning loss to St. Henry in the 34th District Tournament. Aaron Moore returns for his eighth year as head coach. His top returners include Addison Brown, Jimmy Stevens, Tyler Beschman, Corey Day and Austin Smith. “While we will be either young or inexperienced at several spots this year, this group of seniors have big aspirations,” Moore said. “They are a

Jeff Trame returns for his second year as head coach after directing the Eagles to a 22-15 record last season. He returns seven starters from last year. Senior catcher Kyle Kramer hit .312 with two home runs last year. Senior Pete Ohmer led the Eagles in RBI with 31 and hit .316 with two homers. Also a strong pitcher, he was limited to 23 innings in 2012 due to injury. Senior outfielder Jared Best hit .311 and senior outfielder Jordan Pike hit .301. Senior Brenden Wells can play any position in the field and had a 2.85 ERA on the mound. Junior Reed Spata returns at shortstop and junior Josh Castleman returns in the infield. He had a .411 on-base percentage. Junior Ray Everett was 5-2 with a 1.65 ERA last season. Seniors Seth Robinson and Eric Pouncy return to the mound. The Eagles were regional runner-up in junior varsity last season. Senior Tyler Stoeckel was the leading pitcher on the team and juniors Cameron Kinney and Nick Brinkman were key infielders. Scott starts the season at St. Henry March 20.

Simon Kenton Troy Roberts returns for his second year as head coach after leading the Pioneers to a 22-17 record last season, including the 32nd District championship. He is 206-177 overall in his 17 years. Returning starters include catcher Michael Mundy, infielder Tyler Smith, pitcher/second baseman/centerfielder Vic Newberry, second baseman/left fielder Grant Wassom and pitcher/first baseman Brad Franzen. Newberry, with three years varsity experience, leads the pitching staff who returns four pitchers. Top newcomers include utility player Tristen Marcum and pitcher/ infielder Sean Lawrence. “We return a good core of our team that will hopefully lead our newcomers into the transition to varsity baseball,” Roberts said. “ We have a number of players that can play multiple positions which will allow us to move some guys around, and give us a solid defense to back our pitching staff.” SK hosts Gallatin County March 23 to start the season.

Villa Madonna

Villa was 4-28 last year and will look to improve starting March 18 at Walton-Verona. Villa’s first home game is March 22 against Lloyd. Seniors listed on the roster include Scott Adams, Jordan Drees, Dan Hillenmeyer, Randy Lund, Luke Nybo, Andy Piccirillo, Jack Rees, Glenn Rice, Thomas Steinkoenig, Chandler Taennis and Andrew Wagner.

Progressivism is the real enemy For the past month Ted Smith and I have been having a conversation about the Republican Party, Tea Party and Lincoln. I’ve raised questions about the future and direction of the Republican Party. He has responded with conservatives can’t win, history lessons about slavery and Lincoln but never answered my questions. It’s been interesting, Mr. Smith, but President Lincoln has not been the standard bearer for the party in 148 years. The real reason I attempted to engage Mr. Smith is a concern that is far greater than any party or individual. The concern that the enemy of our great republic is already within the gates and what can be done to cast the enemy out. Who or what is the enemy? The enemy is progressivism, socialism, Marxism and those who spread

it. They’re at every level from the White House to the school house. It’s all very seductive. Let the state take care of your Jack Shields needs. The COMMUNITY state knows RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST what’s good for you. Once enough people give in to the false promises we lose our economic and individual liberty, our self reliance, our personal responsibility and our ability to excel. Let’s talk about what is happening in our nation today. What other president has ever told the American people he is not a dictator? President Obama has and more than once. He is avoiding the appearance of

governing, but does he protest too much? Is he an invisible dictator? Here is some food for thought: Control by regulation – Forcing the shutdown of coal-fired power plants by making it too expensive for them to operate and soon too costly for us to afford heating and cooling. 5,391 pages of Obama care regulations including 644 pages on exchange implementation that were dumped on Friday. Mandating unrealistic mileage standards for automobiles. EPA trying to confiscate private property because the owner’s use doesn’t agree with their agenda. Control by intimidation – Suing states for trying to protect their borders when the federal government ignores its legal duty. Loosing 2,000 criminal illegals on the population

with 3,000 more possible under the charade of cost control. Sending out cabinet members to warn of financial doom and create fear if sequestration is implemented. Control by currency destruction – The Federal Reserve is buying up $85 billion of government debt monthly … this is as bad as counterfeiting which only the federal government is authorized to prosecute. Nearly $6 trillion of debt created on Obama’s watch. It’s almost a third of the generational bondage we’ve saddled on our children and grandchildren. Control by manipulation – this administration constantly pits one group against another … whites vs. blacks; people vs. companies; poor vs. rich; state vs. religious groups and institutions; gays vs. straights; conservatives vs. women. All

Teacher wants to spread her love of history My name is Lisa Heiert. I am a history teacher at Notre Dame Academy. This is my 10th year of teaching. I love history. Realistically, history was my first love. As long as I can remember I have loved hearing stories of our past. My mom was a grade school teacher and she was the first person to introduce me to history. I can remember as a child her reading “Little House on the Prairie” books to me. I was so moved by the courage and bravery of those families who moved west for a better life. The second person that sparked my love of history even more was Mr. Jim Schneider, my high school American history teacher. I was mesmerized by his lectures. One story after another about how our great nation came to be. I remember for

the first time watching the movie “Glory” about the Civil War in his class. I will never forget the overwhelming Lisa Heiert feeling of COMMUNITY pride for our RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST country I got from watching the brave men of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry die for our country. Looking back now it makes perfect sense why I am a history teacher. I want to spread my love of history to others. Every school year I start by asking my students who loves history. Normally one or two hands pop up. I teach not for these students but for the others who didn’t raise their hands. I teach to expose to

students the love I feel for the stories of our past. I teach to show them history isn’t about memorizing a bunch of names, dates and facts. It about learning story of our past and having it come to life. My teaching philosophy is more of an interactive handson approach then a read and memorize. I stand on my desk when I teach about Teddy Roosevelt charging up Kettle Hill during the Spanish American War. I make my students crawl under their desk while I throw paper balls at them to help simulate trench warfare. I like to use a variety of different teaching strategies in my classroom. We watched a video on John Adams and then they had to write an I-am poem on him. We illustrated the Boston Massacre and examine pictures that were used to turn it into to propaganda.

We spent a day learning about the real John Brown. We read his final speech and examined the different photographs of John Brown to determine whether he was a hero or villain. I pride myself in doing things differently. There is no better feeling than seeing your students face light up when they truly get a concept. I love teaching. I truly love American history. I am constantly searching for new lesson plans to use in my classes. I love to use new technology in the classroom. That is why I am a teacher and I am very lucky because I truly love my job. This is the essay that won Lisa Heiert, a teacher at Notre Dame Academy, the American History Teacher of the Year Award from the Simon Kenton chapter of Sons of the American Revolution.

Smith’s RHINOs are bankrupting America Ted Smith’s March 5 article in the Enquirer trashing the Tea Party and conservatives was disgusting. Mr. Smith has not been shy about his vile views on the Tea Party and Sen. Rand Paul. He posted the following comment, “I think the TPs and Senator Screwball are lunatics Hell bent on destruction of the party of Lincoln and Reagan.” Shockingly, the Republican RHINO Association chose to ignore his comments. I guess membership does have its privileges. His attack on small government conservatives and his support for big government Republicans like Sen. Mitch McConnell is part of America’s debt problem. Several weeks ago, Senator McConnell wrote an article proclaiming he saved Kentuckians from the fiscal cliff. Not only did he increase the top marginal income tax rate from 35 percent to 39.6 percent and limited deductions, he increased the Social Security Tax rate from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent. That tax increase impacts all working Americans. The inheritance tax increased from 35 percent to

40 percent and capital gains and dividends increased from 15 percent to 20 percent. He voted for welfare for Tom Wurtz the banks COMMUNITY (TARP) and RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST the costly expansion of Medicare prescription coverage. He also voted to expand federal involvement in education with the No Child Left Behind Act. McConnell and Smith clearly believe Americans are not taxed enough. The conservative Heritage Foundation rates McConnell at 76 percent on his conservatism while they rate Sen. Rand Paul at 96 percent. The Freedom Index rated McConnell at 67 percent on his compliance with the U.S. Constitution. Senator Paul scored 93 percent. FreedomWorks score McConnell at 77 percent to Paul’s 100 percent. The facts establish that McConnell is a solid D- conservative. I agree with Mr. Smith that he and Senator McConnell are not conservatives. They’re

A publication of

big government Democrats who refuse to take off their donkey masks. During McConnell’s 28 years in Congress, annual federal spending has increased from $946 billion to $3.6 trillion. The national debt has climbed from $1 trillion to almost $17 trillion. During the Bush administration, McConnell voted for five debt ceiling increases and yet during all that exploding debt, he couldn’t swing a measly $2.5 billion for a new Brent Spence Bridge. The increase in America’s national debt could finance 6,000 B.S. Bridges. The only thing Senator McConnell, with the support of Mr. Smith, have been doing for Kentuckians is raising taxes, raising the debt ceiling and expanding the national debt. In 2011, he proposed allowing the president to raise the debt ceiling on his own. McConnell then filibustered his own 2011 bill. Even worse, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended his plan by saying it had “merit.” It’s embarrassing when Pelosi and McConnell are on the same page.

Tragically, Democrats and Smith’s RHINOs created this financial mess and constitutional-conservatives are the only ones tough enough to clean it up. Tom Wurtz is president of Tom Wurtz Consulting and a resident of Fort Mitchell.

out assault on the Second Amendment right to bear arms. This is classic Alinsky technique – isolate, demonize and destroy. There are many more examples of federal encroachment on our lives and liberty. Space constraints prohibit me from expounding them here. As Kentuckians and Americans it’s our duty to know what the federal government is doing. We need to elect strong state representatives from the governor on down who recognize that the federal government has very limited powers. We need to elect congressman and senators who know and support the Constitution. What do you think? Where do you stand? Jack Shields is an Edgewood resident.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Revisionist history at its best

In the Feb. 14 edition of the Community Recorder, you published an interesting and well-presented letter by Mr. Ted Smith of Park Hills. In his letter he made one historical error that is being perpetuated by schools and people everywhere. It is, in many cases, unintentional revisionist history at its best. Mr. Smith stated that, “The first Republican president of the United States was Abraham Lincoln. He freed the slaves by executive orders published in the Emancipation Proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862. Its effective dates was Jan. 1, 1863.” This is not completely correct nor accurate. The proclamation freed all slaves in Confederate territories and ordered the Army to treat slaves as free in the 10 states that were still fighting. A hallow point since it could not be enforced in those states, but as the Army took control of Confederate regions, the slaves in those regions were emancipated. The proclamation did not apply to the five slave states that did not secede from the Union nor to most regions already controlled by the Union Army. Lincoln and the Republican Party recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation might not be constitutional once the war was over. The legal framework of slavery would still exist in the former Confederate states as well as in the Union slave states that had been exempted from the proclamation. The Republican Party committed itself to a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery. Not until the December 1865 ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, which made slavery illegal everywhere in the U.S., were slaves freed. The proclamation did not compensate the owners, did not itself outlaw slavery, and did not make the ex-slaves citizens. Charles K. Duncan Erlanger

Dress drive fills Cinderella’s Closet for prom princesses By Amy Scalf

FAIRY GODMOTHERS

Meet the generous women who help high school girls dress up for prom in our video at NKY.com.

LAKESIDE PARK — In the

fairy tale, Cinderella had only one fairy godmother. But in Northern Kentucky, high school girls have dozens of generous ladies who help them dress up for prom and feel like princesses. Cinderella’s Closet of Northern Kentucky hosted its annual dress drive at Immanuel Baptist Church on March 9, a week ahead of the day when girls can visit the church to find the perfect prom dress and all the accessories they could ever dream of. Cinderella’s Closet founder Erin Peterson conjured the event eight years ago in an effort to help girls who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford prom expenses. She firmly believes that the dress and accessories are only part of what her group provides. “We give them dresses, yes, but we are there to shower them with grace and love and to let them know how special and loved and how beautiful they are,” said Peterson. “Her visit to Cinderella’s Closet should be one of the best days of her life. I want them to have an amazing experience there and feel equal to their peers, but most of all I want them to feel cherished. I want them to know they are loved in this world and how amazing they are.” According to Cinderella’s Closet dress drive coordinator

Peggy Browning, approximately 430 girls are registered for the event. After the dress drive, she said the organization would have more than 2,500 dresses – which allows each princess five different options for her prom outfit. Sometimes, they have to purchase dresses to make sure there are enough gowns available in each size. Throughout the drive, people pile in with arms loaded, carrying prom dresses of all lengths, sizes and colors, and loaded with bags bulging with jewelry, purses and shoes. They all come to help make some young lady’s prom experience one she’ll remember fondly forever. “I grew up in a rural community and didn’t have a lot,” said

Vickie Mertz of Lakeside Park. “I had to borrow a prom dress. I had to give it back, but I was a fairy princess for that night, so I know how important that is.” Stacy Bosch of Independence bought shoes and jewelry on sale and brought bags full to the drive. She will also volunteer for the upcoming dress event. Colleen Rogge of Crescent Springs dropped off three large bags of shoes and jewelry. She has volunteered before, but

won’t make it to this year’s event. She said she still wanted to contribute. “Instead of donating my time this year, I decided to donate a few items,” she said. “It’s a wonderful service for these girls. They just sparkle and shine when they get these things.” Rogge said she got an additional discount at DSW shoe store in Crestview Hills when she said she was donating the items to Cinderella’s Closet. She plans to purchase dress-

es after prom season this year to prepare for next year. Regina Danaher-Smith, a youth services counselor in Gallatin County, wheeled in a cart loaded with dozens of dresses, some of which were received from Cinderella’s Closet in previous years. Not only does DanaherSmith bring in items, she also makes sure girls in need from her community come to the event to get the prom dresses of their dreams. “It’s such a wonderful thing to see the girls smile and have such a good experience that they’ll never forget. It’s worth every bit of it to make sure these girls have a wonderful prom,” she said. For more information and a list of year-round donation sites, visit www.cinderellas closetusa.org.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with champ, soda bread

Champ

This has a puddle of butter in the middle. Eat from outside to inside, dipping each bite into butter.

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, chunked up and cooked 1 ⁄2cup whipping cream or half & half 1 ⁄2stick butter 1 leek, sliced thin or 4 green onions, sliced Salt and pepper to taste

While potatoes are cooking, bring cream and butter to simmer and stir in leeks. Remove from heat, cover and let steep while potatoes cook. Mash potatoes, add enough cream mixture to make potatoes creamy. Make well in center, put dab of butter there to melt and make puddle.

Rita’s moist and buttery soda bread is sweeter than most recipes. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD ⁄2teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 1 stick butter, softened 1 ⁄2heaping cup dried cherries, raisins or your favorite dried fruit 1 cup regular sour cream Melted butter for brushing on top Turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top (optional, but good) 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place piece of parchment on cookie sheet and spray parchment. Mix flour, soda, salt, sugar and butter until mixture is crumbly. Add cherries. Toss to combine. This keeps the fruit suspended in the bread. Blend in sour cream. Form into mound-shaped circle about six inches wide and two or so inches tall. Place on cookie sheet and make a cross in the middle.

Turbinado sugar is golden in color and crystals are large.

Terry Pettit’s famous fish fry cole slaw During Lent, the fish fry at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church serves over 1,000 people and they come, in part, to enjoy the slaw that’s served alongside the fish. This is for the reader who loves that slaw and wants to make it at home. I talked to Terry Pettit, who shared this family recipe. “The recipe was from a restaurant that my wife and I owned in the early ‘90s and was developed for that purpose,” Terry told me.

Moist and buttery soda bread

You can’t eat just one slice. For readers who wanted a sweeter tasting soda bread. I use my food processor, but you can use a mixer or do it by hand. Check out my blog for step-by-step photos.

Bake 40-50 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Check after 40 minutes.

test paring it down, but here’s a guideline. Start with 1 bag shredded cabbage (12-16 oz.), 1⁄2 cup carrots, 1⁄4 cup red cabbage and enough slaw mix dressing to coat nicely. For the dressing, I’d start with 2 cups mayo, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1⁄4 cup sugar and a scant teaspoon of celery seeds. I’d go to taste and add more of whatever. I’m thinking I’d like more vinegar, but I haven’t tasted Terry’s slaw at IHM. I would stir in enough dressing to coat the slaw nicely. Here’s Tom’s big batch recipe.

I remember one St. Patrick’s Day in particular. I was a first-grader at St. Margaret of Cortona School in Madison Place. Sister Justina asked me why I wasn’t wearing a Rita green Heikenfeld ribbon in my hair. RITA’S KITCHEN “Because I’m Lebanese,” I replied timidly. The real reason, I suspect, is that Mom couldn’t afford to buy green ribbon to make bows for us eight girls. But you know, after all these many years, even I’m a bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. The story goes that in the fifth century, St. Patrick went to Ireland, killed all the snakes and converted the people. What were they eating? For starters, cress, leeks and cabbage, all of which are ... green!

Best time to start an outdoor spring vegetable garden ness, poor texture and low yields. Avoid these problems by planting spring vegetables as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, since snow and light frost will usually not injure them. Plant either seeds or transplants, allowing the vegetables to reach edible maturity before hot summer days arrive. Plant as soon as the soil is workable and dry enough so it does not form wet clods. Do not work the soil when it is wet. Doing so can ruin the soil structure for several years. You shouldn’t dig, plow, or even walk in wet, sog-

and are raised either for their leaves, stems or flower buds. Peas are grown Mike for their Klahr immature HORTICULTURE fruits. CONCERNS These crops produce their vegetative growth during spring’s short, cool days. If they are planted too late in the spring, summer heat reduces their quality by forcing some to flower and form seeds (bolt), and others to develop off flavors, bitter-

Question: Can I start planting my vegetable garden outside as soon as the snow melts, or is March just for starting seedlings indoors under lights? Answer: The spring garden contains coolseason crops that are planted and harvested from late winter to late spring. The seeds of some of these crops can be planted directly in the garden soil, while others will need to be started indoors and then transplanted to the garden. Spring garden plants grow best with relatively cool air temperatures (50 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit)

same time, you can plant asparagus and rhubarb crowns, early potato seed pieces, onion sets, green onions, and seeds of carrots, collards, kale, radishes, turnips and endive. In late March, you can also make a second planting of beets, mustard, spinach and peas. Indoors under fluorescent lights, you should have already started seeds of onions, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cab-

gy soil. However, if your garden site is already worked up (plowed, rototilled or dug up), and it’s dry enough to work in, you can begin planting spinach, mustard, beets, and peas right away. They will germinate in cold soil and will even tolerate some freezing temperatures. Cabbage, lettuce and kohlrabi transplants can be planted outside in mid-to-late March. At the

To do this, just lay some sweet potatoes on their sides, half-immersed in moist sand, put them under lights, and wait for the shoots (“slips”) to grow. After the sprouts get several inches long, cut them off and root them in water. Wait until June 1 to plant these rooted slips outdoors, since sweet potatoes are very sensitive to cool temperature.

Official Notice Owen Electric Cooperative, with its principal office at Owenton, Kentucky and with its address at 8205 Highway 127 North, Owenton, Kentucky 40359, has filed with the Kentucky Public Service Commission in Case No. 2012-00448 an application to adjust its retail rates and charges. The need for this adjustment is due to an increase in Owen Electric’s expenses in the areas of wholesale power costs, interest, depreciation, and general operating expenses. Owen Electric is also proposing a $0.001 per kWh increase to its Fuel Adjustment Clause to recover fuel costs it has paid to its wholesale power supplier but not collected through its fuel clause. This increase will last for approximately one year until all of these identified fuel costs are recovered. The rates proposed in this application are the rates proposed by Owen Electric Cooperative. However, the Kentucky Public Service Commission may order rates to be charged that differ from these proposed rates contained in this notice. Such action may result in rates for consumers other than the rates in this application. Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30) days after publication or mailing of notice of the proposed rate changes request leave to intervene; intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30) day period for good cause shown. The motion shall be submitted to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard, P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for the request including the status and interest of the party. Any person who has been granted intervention by the Commission may obtain copies of the rate application and any other filings made by the utility by contacting Michael Cobb, Owen Electric Cooperative, 8205 Highway 127 North, Owenton, KY 40359, Phone 502-484-3471.
