UNION — Boone County native Donna Bay Fryman has lived in Union for the last 17 years.

“I moved to Union because it’s small, (there’s) not a lot of traffic, yet we’re close to everything and I kind of like that,” she said. “I think a lot of people move out there for that reason.”

Fryman said she wants to be involved in the city’s development, a reason she filed to run for the City Commission.

filed before the deadline to run for the commission though four seats are up for grabs in the Nov. 6 election. One candidate, Deanna Kline, has filed as a write-in candidate.

Having worked until recently for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Fryman said she has “served my fellow Kentuckians” that way and wanted to stay involved in her community.

While someone can “go to school to Fryman be a politician,” that doesn’t mean they can manage money.

Successful business people should be more involved in the community, she said.

“I think people that can actually grow a business and make it successful – they ought to be able to manage some tax dollars.”

Town center interests developers – just not now

By Stephanie Salmons ssalmons@nky.com

Developers have shown some interest but aren’t quite ready to commit to the proposed Union Town Center.

Union Commissioner John Mefford told city leaders last month that at the July meeting of the city’s Economic Development Committee “we were told we had some nibbles from developers.

We did not have any bites.”

Commissioners agreed in April to amend a previous contract with former Boone County Administrator Jim Parsons to include the creation and issuance of a request for proposal on a few of the properties in the town center area.

The committee, however, changed strategies and sent out request for qualifications in June.

An RFQ was a way of marketing the area first, then looking at the potential for developers, Kevin Costello, executive director of the Boone County Planning Commission, said in June.

City officials initially entered into an agreement with Parsons last year to research potential incentive options for the development of the town center.

While there was a degree of interest, Mefford said in an email developers wanted to gather more information.

“No one wanted to jump into the deep end of the pool, so to speak,” the email reads. “I am certain that this is an indicator of the current economic climate.”

Mefford thinks progress is only a matter of time and the city will continue to work to attract developers to the project.

“The city is ripe for development and the demographics are very favorable for a developer,” he writes.

Costello said some developers were interested in the project, just not at this time.

"A lot of (developers) are taking care of their own properties now,” he said. “In some cases, they’re re-examining their own holdings and trying to reshape their existing properties.”

According to Costello, the EDC planned to meet in September to discuss the possibility of meeting individually with developers to give them a first-hand look at the area, he said.

“I’d say in the next two to three months, we’ll be meeting with three to four developers, spending one-on-one time with them.”

Sending the RFQ was “still a good thing to do,” he said because officials got the word out about the project.

“I don’t think we expected in a two-month period to sell land for development right away,” Costello said. “It is a process and we still think we’re making progress at this point.”

Candidates line up for school board

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

This fall voters will decide on more than half of school district leadership.

Three of the five Boone County Schools Board of Education seats are up for election this November.

The seats represent specific areas of the district and candidates run for a specific seat.

Incumbent Steve Kinman is hoping to keep his Division 1 seat, one he’s held for eight years.

“It’s just something that I enjoy,” Kin-

man said.

Over the years, having a front row seat to the district’s success has been one of the best parts of being on the board, he said.

“I want to see that success continue,” Kinman said.

As the district faces continued growth and a lack of funding, the board has to focus on fiscal responsibility, he said.

“We have to make sure to spend every dollar wisely,” Kinman said.

Chris McKinney is a reluctant Division 1 candidate.

“I don’t really want to run,” she said.

TEEN LEADERS Inga Almquist is president of the new Interact Club of Boone County. B6

Between her job, 17 grandchildren and other commitments, McKinney can make lots of excuses for why to not get involved, but she’s choosing not to.

“That seems to be the attitude most people have,” she said.

If elected, McKinney hopes to establish better communication between teachers and parents.

“Part of the problem is the disconnect between the teachers and the parents,” she said.

AAA Express opens in Walton

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

WALTON — As the Walton Towne Center continues to fill up, it now has a vacation planning assistant.

The center is the home of the newly opened AAA Express.

Thanks to the merger between AAA and Bob Sumerel Tire & Service last year, AAA has been opening a string of locations that serve as both a AAA office and a vehicle service and repair center.

As the new model was going forward, AAA was eying the Walton Towne Center because Walton is an under-served area, said Thomas Wiedemann, president and COO of AAA Allied Group.

panding area,” Wiedemann said.

With the Walton location, AAA is trying something new – adding a selfservice kiosk that allows customers to browse and access AAA services using a large touch screen.

“It’s the first of its kind,” Wiedemann said.

The kiosk gives customers access to AAA travel services like its TripTik and lets them browse, renew or upgrade AAA memberships.

“We’ve gotten some positive feedback from members that want to browse at their own pace,” Wiedemann said.

The kiosk provides the perfect opportunity to pass the time while waiting for car service to be completed, he said.

“We believe, given the

Also a nutritional consultant, Fryman said she’d like to see things like more sidewalks within the community and a park within city limits. She’d like things to get families involved in activity.

"I worked for the state, so I feel like you need to be accountable for what you’re spending to the taxpayer.”

The city is living within its means right now.

“That’s good,” Fryman said. “I am conservative. I want to do the right thing by people that are paying their hard-earned money.”

As the conversation about charter schools continues in Kentucky, Seely wants to be there when a decision is finally made.

Seely is also concerned about behavioral issues across the district, he said.

“I want to get involved in the conversation about the conduct that goes on in the school,” Seely said.

situation and with the filing deadline approaching, he asked Templeton to file, and one of them would stay in the race once the Comair situation was clearer.

Since his last time on the board, Templeton now has grandchildren in the district, and he’s more excited than ever to be on the board.

“I’ve got a real deep desire now that I’ve got blood in the game,” he said.

If elected, Templeton sees managing growth as the most pressing issue he’ll face.

Templeton faces Jesse Brewer, a member of the Boone County Tea Party with three children in the district.

“I think Boone County has a great school system, but we can do better,” Brewer said. “I think we can be more efficient.”

If elected, Brewer plans to research all the decisions he has to make and not “shoot from the hip,” he said.

“Every decision I make will be made with a level head,” Brewer said.

The Gray Middle School PTSA is hosting a candidate forum for the Division 3 candidates at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, at the school.

Janitor charged in workplace homicide

Suspect in woman’s death has had two prison stints

by Jim Hannah jhannah@nky.com

and Terry DeMio tdemio@nky.com

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

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

Michelle Mockbee, 42, of Fort Mitchell, was found dead at about 7:20 a.m. May 29 at Thermo Fisher Scientific, located at the Northern Kentucky Industrial Park in unincorporated Boone County. She had worked at the distribution center for hospital laboratory supplies for 16 years

and was a logistics support representative at the time of her death.

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

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

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

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

“As to why this happened, we have no idea. We may get those answers some day. We may not, but as long as he is … behind bars, that is what’s important.”

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

Scheben said the workforce was supportive of deputies’ efforts to find the

killer. Deputies used time card files and security video files to help narrow the suspect list.

“It’s a self-contained crime scene,” Scheben said.

A man who answered the door of Dooley’s apartment Sept. 27 declined to give his name but said, “It is a sad situation for everyone, especially for the deceased, Michelle.”

Sheriff’s deputies searched Dooley’s garage as neighbors gathered to see what was going on.

percent of the overall budget. Ryan hopes to get that fund up to about 8-10 percent.

The extra money will allow the district to hire a Schools and Families Empowered (SAFE) officer.

Originally held by Larry Davis, the position is part truancy officer that also helps gather resources like clothes and food that students may need to function at their best in class.

The position was originally funded by grant money, and has remained unfilled since Davis died in 2011.

The final use of the extra money is to purchase vehicles.

“We haven’t been able to keep the pace on the vehicle replacement that we’d like,” Ryan said.

The district will use about $130,000 to purchase a new bus and some vans used for extracurricular transportation.

Getting good news about the budget is a welcome change for Ryan, who is usually dealing with cuts in state funding, he said.

“I’m pleased with the budget,” Ryan said.

New grading standards added

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

WALTON — A new grading system is designed to show what students really know.

Instead of offering students a grade that doesn’t fully describe how that student is doing in class, Walton-Verona’s three schools have divided grades into two components: content knowledge and work ethic.

The change stems from the standards-based education movement that focuses on assessing students on how they master specific content, as opposed to just averaging together grades however a teacher decides.

“We were not communicating to parents what their child’s ability is,” said Deputy Superintendent Pam Saylor.

Throughout the state, many

students who were strong performers in high school have struggled in college because their high school grades were weighted too strongly toward work ethic issues like class participation and turning in homework. A lack of knowledge was being balanced out by other grades in high school, which was failing to reveal when students weren’t grasping the content.

Statewide, more than 40 percent of students lose their KEES money after their freshman year because they can’t keep up the grades required to keep the funding, Saylor said.

Under the new system, the middle and high schools will weight course grades with an 80/ 20 split between content knowledge and work ethic, while the elementary school will have a 60/40 split.

The weights were decided by the individual schools, but the new system goes deeper than just determining grades. Teachers who teach the same content are working together to plan lessons, tests and other assessments so that students can have the same content no matter when they take the class or what teacher offers it.

Separating grades into the two components helps teachers, parents and students understand more clearly what specific areas students are struggling with and show teachers what they may need to reteach, Saylor said.

Schools no longer have the option of letting students fail and move on when the goal is college and career readiness, said Troy Ridener, the middle school’s assistant principal.

“When kids don’t meet the content level, what do we do?” Riden-

er asked.

With specific data available, there will be more information usable to determine the correct course of action, he said.

Another advantage is the data will be able to show if a student is grasping the content, but just doesn’t want to work, Saylor said.

“We have kids who have a high content mastery, but they need a kick in the butt to build up their work ethic,” she said.

Those students often take up resources used for helping students who are struggling with the content when they ultimately understand what’s going on but just don’t want to do homework, Saylor said.

Parent Megan Jones felt that having such a low value on work ethic countered what parents are trying to instill into their children.

“I feel like work ethic is very important,” Jones said.

The standards-based movement tends to leave out any form of work ethic assessment, and Walton-Verona wanted to keep it in because they agreed it was important, said Mark Krummen, high school principal.

Generally, students who forgo homework and other work ethic assessments will likely fall behind in content knowledge, Saylor said.

Ultimately the change comes down to making sure students are learning what they need to learn to succeed and not just getting good grades, she said.

“We can’t have kids who are B students who are scoring 12 on their ACT,” said Superintendent Robert Storer.

Local students stay active after class

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

FLORENCE — Students who may not have access or interest in sports have a new opportunity to get fit.

Thanks to the Physical Education Programs (PEP) grant, new after-school physical activity programs have launched at Yealey and Collins elementary schools, Jones Middle School and the district’s alternative school.

A requirement of the PEP grant, the after-school programs offer students at the schools free access to nontraditional types of physical activity like yoga and lacrosse.

“It’s activities they’re not exposed to in a physical education class or in intramural sports,” said Seth Eckler, who is overseeing the PEP grant at Jones.

Since the programs are offered at no charge, this is an opportunity for students who may not be able to afford the fees associated with team

sports, Eckler said.

The schools recently kicked off the first of four sessions that will be offered throughout the school year.

More than 100 students signed up at Collins, Yealey and Jones, and because word is getting around about how much fun the programs are, that number will likely jump for the next session, said Jessica Houglan, the PEP grant coordinator for the district.

Through a partnership with the YMCA, some of the activities are led by YMCA staff, but many are led by teachers, which gives students a new way to interact with teachers, Houglan said.

“It allows teachers to show more of their human side,” she said.

Because students are interacting with their teachers in a fun environment, the classroom relationships are strengthening, Houglan said.

One of the exciting things about the program is seeing teachers take ownership, Ecklar said.

Many students who aren’t traditional athletes have signed up for Jones yoga class, which is led by art teacher Kathleen Puckett.

Because Puckett doesn’t teacher a physical activity class, many students have been drawn to her and see that physical activity is for everyone, Houglan said.

As teachers see needs, they can put in proposals for activities they can lead in future sessions.

Jones offers programs immediately after school, but also holds Zumba and hip-hop dance classes on Saturday.

As parents take their children to the class, physical activity is becoming a family affair, Houglan said.

“Some of (the parents) have gotten up and started moving,” she said.

Seeing how much fun their children are having, several parents have told Houglan they’ve joined gyms and started exercising.

The Boone County High School volleyball team wore "Support Abby Marsh" T-shirts when the team played their rival Ryle High School.

Marsh, a student at Ryle, was in a car crash in May and has remained hospitalized since then. The team wore the shirts to raise money for Marsh and show solidarity for a fellow student athlete.

Nadine Innes is accomplished enough that she doesn’t need much coaching during a round of golf.

Because of that, Ryle head girls golf coach Jeremy Thornton didn’t see many of her 79 strokes during the Region 6 championships Sept. 24 at the Kenton County Golf Course (Pioneer) as he focused on her Ryle teammates. But he knows what his star sophomore can do.

“She’s mature enough that I let her play at a distance and not get in her way too much,” Thornton said. “She has worked really hard to get her game to this point.

She’s had a really good season. When she feels in control of her game, there’s no number that’s too low for her to put up.”

Innes finished second individually in the tournament with that 79 and she will go to the state tourney Oct. 2-3 in Bowling Green for the second straight year. Innes tied for 15th at state last year with former teammate and 2012 Ryle graduate Alex Bruce.

“I was nervous whether I would make it or not,” she said. “I feel like where you place doesn’t matter, it only matters how you played. The greens (in Bowling Green) are definitely fast and you have to hit it straight. Hopefully I’ll be all right.”

Cooper finished seventh in girls, led by a 92 from Madison Smith.

The Ryle boys team will go to state once again, although it lost a tough battle with Covington Catholic for the boys Region 7 title Sept. 25 at Boone Links. Ryle shot 312 to finish three shots behind .

Paul Clancy and Logan Gamm shot 75 to tie for second in the individual standings. Hunter Hughes shot 80, Austin Squires 82 and Zach Adams 84. Ryle finished fifth at state last year and will look to build on that.

Cooper finished third with 331. Zach McNeil shot an 80 to grab eighth place overall and claim an individual spot to the state tourney. Walton-Verona’s Jacob Poore shot 79 to earn a state berth, helping the Bearcats finish fourth overall.

McNeil, who played for Walton last year, lost in a playoff last year to decide the individual berths to state after bogeying 17 and 18 in regulation. This year, he took a double bogey on 17 but rebounded with a par on 18, which made the difference.

“It went through my head the last couple of holes,” he said. “I bogeyed the last two holes last year to go to the playoff, so finishing is a key thing you have to do. It worked out this year. I knew on 17 there was one guy at 79 and that was what I was shooting for. I didn’t know if anyone else would get under 80. On 18, I missed a 12foot birdie putt and I tapped in for par.”

McNeil becomes the third Jaguar to play in the state tournament.

“He played well today and grinded it out. It was solid play all day,” said Cooper head coach Terry Trame. “He didn’t have any fantastic holes or any bad holes, and that’s what it takes to get down as an individual because the best two teams go down and it’s usually Ryle and Cov Cath, so these kids know they’re playing for three spots.”

Leedom makes mark on record books

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

ERLANGER — While Senior Night was rain-delayed, the St. Henry District High School girls soccer players will look to have future celebrations as the postseason approaches.

St. Henry was set to play Villa Madonna Sept. 28 in a game postponed by two days when rain and lightning struck just one minute after first kick. (Score wasn’t reported by press time.)

The team honored its 10 seniors that night, including Libby Leedom, who has continued to assault the record books this year.

Leedom scored her 16th goal of the season and 102nd of her career in a 2-1 loss to Dixie Heights Sept.

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

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

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

The message is clear: If you want a good job, you have to develop the skills employers want. Beyond technical skills and computer proficiency, employers want people who can gather, process and communicate information; make decisions and solve problems; plan and orga-

nize their work; influence others; and work together in teams. This combination of technical and what used to be called “soft” G. Edward skills is the Hughes focus of a comCOMMUNITY munity and RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST technical college education.

It is never too soon to start building these skills. That is why Gateway has introduced the Gateway Regional Academy (GRA), an early college program that enables students to begin earning college credits while they are still in high school.

The advantages are many.

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

The study found that early college gives high school stu-

dents a chance to see what college classes are like and boosts their confidence, which makes the transition from high school to college easier.

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

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

Any high school student, age 16 or older, who has the minimum required SAT, ACT, or COMPASS test scores may be admitted to the GRA. Gateway reserves specific classes for GRA stu-

dents at its Boone and Edgewood Campuses and at the Urban Center in Covington. However, any Gateway class, including those online, is available to GRA students as long as they meet class requirements and space is available.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Community cleanup

On Sept. 1, 2012, the Cooper High School football team did a community cleanup called Trash for Cash. The areas we cleaned up were Longbranch Road, Cooper Campus, Rogers Lane, Camp Ernst Lake, Highland Drive, Demia Way, Berberich Drive and Sam Neace Drive.

We all walked together so we only had to use one garbage bag at a time, because plastic also pollutes the environment.

We found the following items: candy wrappers, cigarettes, cups, cans, chip bags, alcohol bottles, dead animals and some live ones too.

It actually was surprising how much trash was actually at the lake and how trash was hidden that we had to dig for.

It also generated a conversation about how careless people are and how people don’t care about the environment they live in.

The good point about this experience was they were made to question themselves about how people can just litter their community and don’t even care.

They learned that many people in the world litter and that littering seems like a big problem in the world today.

Litter affects not only the environment and the community around you, but it can also affect the animal species that mistake it as food and eat it, causing choking

or even death.

Save the environment and animals, don’t litter.

Take care of nature

Our cheerleaders and parents participated in the Boone County Solid Waste Management Trash For Cash program on Sept. 22. We were assigned the Cooper High School campus. At first we were excited because this is our home field and we would be doing something for the environmental landscape of our own program. Then we realized that it was the day after their homecoming parade – where a lot of candy is thrown – and their homecoming game. So we were expecting the worst.

We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the campus.

We were able to clean the campus in less than two hours and we only collected three bags of garbage.

Most of this garbage was from the road across from Cooper in the long grass. A huge compliment should be given to the school system for the cleanliness of their campus and the students respect for their school.

Our organization is proud to feed into Cooper and will continue our respect for the environment by not littering. Hopefully when other programs see this article they will also get involved because it really helped our girls to see the value of taking care of na-

Speed limits

For 25 years, the speed limit on Frogtown Road has been 45 mph.

The speed limit was just lowered to 35 mph.

Were any of the thousands of drivers that use this road consulted before the change was made?

Nope! Is anyone going to drive 35 mph on Frogtown Road? Nope!

How do I know this? The speed

limit on Mt. Zion is 35 mph. Does anyone drive 35 mph on Mt. Zion Road? Nope!

The speed limit on Ky. 237 between Ky. 18 and Interstate 275 was lowered from 55 mph to 45 mph. Does anyone drive 45 mph on Ky. 237? Nope!

The speed limit on I-75 from Florence to the Ohio River is 55 mph. Does anyone drive 55 mph in that area? Nope!

Why have unreasonable speed limits if no one is going to follow them?

Did you know that across the country, your chance of running across an uninsured motorist is one in seven? Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio lead the race with 14-30 percent uninsured drivers.

At accident scenes, no check is made of insurance validity as long as you have an insurance card.

The Commonwealth Attorney’s Office will tell you they are too busy to investigate this type of case. Even if the criminal goes to court, the worst they will get is a $500 fine. Their driver’s license will not be suspended until they are involved in a second accident without insurance.

Complain to the Kentucky Transportation Department and your state representatives, and they will tell you to contact the commonwealth attorney. I already told you their response. Go figure!

Bilingual residents needed for new database While our region has a significant number of Fortune 500 companies that do business internationally, we have one of the lowest percentages of foreign-born residents and residents who speak a foreign language.

Be a good American, go to the polls Everyone should be proud to be a citizen of these United States. To be a citizen of this great country we have certain inalienable rights and privileges. This being said we also have an obligation to be active in positive change for our country.

Everyone contributes to society in some way. People get up every day and go to work to support their families and provide them with food and shelter. In doing so one has the obligation to pay taxes and with the advent of paying taxes you should have a say or input in how that money is spent to benefit you and your country.

Therefore it is the duty of every person that considers himself to be an “American” to vote in this upcoming monBryan H. umental Miller election of COMMUNITY your lifeRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST time. It does not matter whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, constitutionalist or independent. But it is so important to get out to the polls and vote.

You are voting for people or politicians that will represent you and the policies that you believe in when they are in office.

All policies foreign and domestic are made by the elected officials upon being voted into office. Those policies affect each and every citizen. Every one of us has a moral duty to leave this world a better place for the next generation.

We can and should be aware of policies and beliefs of our elected officials. Take time to read the news and understand the direction our country is going in.

There are many important and critical issues that need to be addressed. The national debt, Social Security, health care, immigration, unemployment and the lack of jobs are at the top of the list. Even though these issues may not affect you right now, the day will come that they will.

So, do your duty, you only have a couple of weeks to read about the issues that will affect you and your family for many years to come. One needs to choose wisely and vote for the person who you want to represent you in county government, state government as well at the national level.

I have asked a lot of people if they are registered to vote.

The answer I mostly hear is that my vote can’t make a difference. If there are a million people in the United States that said that, don’t you think they would make a huge impact if they voted? Exercise your privilege to vote on Nov. 6. See you at the polls.

LIFE BEAN BASH celebrates 39 years

COMMUNITY RECORDER

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2012

PEOPLE | IDEAS | RECIPES

By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

FLORENCE — Beans, bets and bids are the key ingredients to helping local charities.

The 39th annual Bean Bash is noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at Turfway Park in Florence. The event benefits BAWAC Inc., Redwood and Special OlympicsNorthern Kentucky. All of the organizations support people with disabilities.

The Bean Bash started as a political fundraiser for Democrat Bill McBee who served in the Kentucky House of Representatives. But its purpose later changed to helping charities. McBee’s son Stevie was born with special needs, so McBee wanted a way to help those who help people with special needs, said his wife Ann McBee. McBee died last year, and it’s great to see Bill and Stevie’s legacy continue, she said.

“It’s a part of those two men that we’ll always have,” Ann McBee said. “It’s like they’re still here and still doing good.”

Named after the cauldron of bean soup that simmers all day, the Bean Bash is an event where no one should ever leave hungry, she said.

The Bean Bash features all you can eat bean soup, drinks, live music, children’s activities and silent and live auctions.

“It’s one of the most exciting family fun days we have in Northern Kentucky,” Ann McBee said.

Major items up for auction include vacation packages, jewelry, autographed sports memorabilia and VIP packages for the Vinery Racing Spiral Stake in March.

While the majority of the Bean Bash takes place in the eight hour span, festivities spread through the weekend.

At 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, the Bean Bash Texas Hold ‘Em tournament begins. With an $85 buy in, players can bet and bluff their way toward a $1,700 top prize. The top 16 players in the tournament will win money.

Early risers can join the Bean Bash Dash 5k walk/run. Participants will make their way around the Turfway Park race track, taking off from the starting gate.

Registration for the 5K begins at 10 a.m. and the race starts at 11 a.m.

Admission for the 5K is $25 which includes a T-shirt, $20 for no T-shirt and groups of 10 or more are $15. The fees include admission to the Bean Bash. The 5K will take place rain or shine.

All of the events help to raise about $100,000 each year that gets split amongst the three charities.

“We’re looking forward to bringing the community together and helping the three charities,” said Bean Bash president Dave Schneider.

The bash is fully staffed by volunteers, so there is little overhead cost.

This means that nearly all of the money raised will go straight to the charities, Schneider said.

Tickets to the Bean Bash are $5 each.

Children under 12 are free.

For tickets or to register for the poker tournament or 5K, visit www.beanbash.org.

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

Here are some tips for safely storing any kind of medication: Keep all medications and vitamins in a safe locaDiane tion. Keep Mason them away EXTENSION from small NOTES children, who might mistake them for candy, and out of sight of others, who might want to abuse them.

Keep medicines in a container or box that can be locked. Keep the key in a separate, secure place.

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

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

Several local police departments in Campbell and Kenton Counties also have secure disposal boxes. Contact your local police or sheriff’s office to discover more.

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

Mix drugs with a substance that would be undesirable to people and animals.

Good examples would be cat litter or coffee grounds. If the medication is a liquid, dilute it with water. If the medication is in pill form, crush and dilute it with water.

Place the mixture into a disposable container or plastic bag, seal and place in the trash.

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

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

LIFE

OCTOBER 4, 2012 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • B3

One of these days I’m going to write a cookbook including “Hall of Fame” recipes from my column.

When I think of all the recipes shared across our community of readers and the interest generated by them, I know that food shared with family and friends is not only nurturing but makes memories and traditions. That’s why every year I get requests for Nell Wilson’s pickled peppers.

Nell, a Mason reader, is the mother of our garden guru, Rita Ron Wilson, Heikenfeld and her RITA’S KITCHEN pickled peppers are the best. I’ve adapted the recipe over the years, but the original premise comes from Nell.

Peppers are in season so by making your own, you are saving lots of money plus you know exactly what’s in them.

Nell Wilson’s famous hot pickled peppers

I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers.

I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; if I use any at all, I’ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine and go from there. You’ll get enough brine for 5-6 pints or about 3 quarts peppers.

Peppers: 2 pounds or so, prepared as directed below

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

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

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

RITA MACCHEAN’S MEATBALLS Rita, a Madeira reader, shared her recipe a while back and I’ve gotten a few requests again. It’s on my blog.

Rita shares her recipe for Nell Wilson’s famous hot pickled peppers. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD supposed to make them extra crunchy)

Bring brine to a boil.

Let simmer 5 minutes or so.

Prepare peppers: Use rubber gloves.

Leave peppers whole with a slit down the center if you like, or slice. Place peppers in hot jars, packing tightly. Pour simmering brine over, covering peppers. Add optional ingredients. Wipe rims with clean wet cloth. Put lids and seals on. Professionally, I’ll tell you to process pints 10 minutes or quarts 15 minutes in a boiling water bath after sealing. That is the recommended safe method for canning. (Check out my blog for directions.) I don’t process mine, but I sterilize the jars and lids, and keep them in boiling water until they’re filled. I have never had a problem, but again, the recommended way to preserve these is in a boiling water bath. Jars will seal on their own – you’ll hear little “pings” as the seal completes. Any that don’t seal, just put in refrigerator. Chill in refrigerator before serving.

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

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

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

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

Tara Boh Klute, a Florence native and head of the statewide Pretrial Services program for the Administrative Office of the Courts, received the 2012 Public Advocate Award from the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy for promoting pretrial justice.

Klute assisted with developing and implementing the risk-assessment tool and, in 2010, secured funding for a federal study to measure its effectiveness. The study results showed that Kentucky’s pretrial release, rearrest and failure-to-appear rates were among the best reported by any criminal justice program in the nation, according to the non-profit Pretrial Justice Institute in Washington.

Institute Executive Director Timothy J. Murray said Klute’s “remarkable

leadership and professionalism have set a new standard for pretrial practitioners everywhere.”

As chief operations officer for Pretrial Services, Klute assists in operating a department with more than 280 pretrial officers and other employees. The department provides investigation, supervision and diversion programs as part of the state court system. Klute has worked in Pretrial Services for the AOC for 17 years .

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

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

The sites were chosen after nearly 200 stylists at Salon Concepts’ existing locations and customers requested them.

The salons will join Salon Concepts’ seven exist-

ing locations in Montgomery, Oakley, West Chester, Mason, Anderson, Florence and Colerain Township.

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

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