NEWPORT - Campbell County and the City of Alexandria will share the cost of an independent study of the two governments’ police agencies as a first step towards considering consolidation. Campbell County Fiscal Court unanimously approved the hiring of the independent consulting team of David Hobson and Lee Ann Morrison out of Richmond, Ky., to conduct a police consolidation study during the Oct. 19 meeting. The two governments will split the $13,500 cost of the study. Hobson has 34 years of experience with police issues with Kentucky’s Department of Criminal Justice Training and Morrison has 17 years experience working in law enforcement, said Robert

Horine, Campbell County’s Administrator. Horine said the county police serve areas all around and outside of Alexandria, and the two police agencies often respond to back-up each other’s calls. The county’s police headquarters is even located inside the city limits of Alexandria, he said. “The question is, Can consolidating efforts improve efficiency of delivery of services?” Horine said. “And it’s a question that has not been answered yet.” The study will first focus on collecting all the basic data about both agencies including budgets and numbers of officers, he said. Hobson and Morrison will conduct surveys internally and meet with employees of the departments, elected officials and community leaders including people like local school officials, Horine said. They’ll be asked about the

existing delivery of services, Horine said. Then Hobson and Morrison will come back and report their results, he said. If there is some significant obstacle to consolidation then elected officials can decided to go no further, Horine said. If there are no obstacles, then that’s when the conversation will “get meaty,” he said. It’s at that point it might be appropriate to ask the public for

input, Horine said. The minimum time it might take to complete a study is four months, but it will likely take longer than that and there is no timetable, he said. “At this point we have no preconceived notions as to how this is going to end up,” Horine said. The study is to focus on service delivery and not any perceived cost savings, he said. “If saving money is an outcome of this then so be it, but it’s not the main function,” Horine. Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery said they need to wait until the study is done before opening the idea up to any public scrutiny. “Our two organizations need to understand what we’re about before we open the conversation to the wider public,” Pendery said.

City sues SD1, sends three-page letter to residents By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

COLD SPRING - A three-page letter sent out by Mayor Mark Stoeber to residents and business owners about the reasons behind the city suing Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky again has the city and the utility in a war of words with each other. Cold Spring filed suit against SD1 in Campbell Circuit Court Oct. 17, this time asking the court to decide whether the utility can legally continue to charge city residents a storm water surcharge fee. Stoeber mailed a three-page letter to all residents explaining the city’s side when it comes to dealings with SD1 over the years on storm water issues, and explaining why the city is suing. Campbell Circuit Court Judge Julie Reinhardt Ward ruled Nov. 5, 2010, that the city may terminate its inter local agreement with SD1 to handle the city’s storm water collection system. Judge Ward noted in her decision that she was not ruling on whether it was legal for SD1 to continue to collect the fee.

Mayor Mark Stoeber’s letter made the last part of his point about SD1 advising it would continue to charge storm water fees in all capital letters. City Attorney Brandon Voelker said he and city administrator Steve Taylor were “hauled in” by Kentucky Division of Water representatives about what the city would have to do to comply with storm water regulations. SD1 immediately contacted the division of water after Ward’s decision advising the city was going to handle storm water on its own, said Stoeber in his letter to residents. “Cold Spring had fully researched and prepared for this option to occur and the city stands ready, willing and able to do so,” Stoeber said in the letter. “Boldly and brashly, SD1 then advised that while it will not handle storm water in Cold Spring, it would continue to charge Cold Spring resi-

dents and business owners storm water fees.” Stoeber’s letter made the last part of his point about SD1 advising it would continue to charge storm water fees in all capital letters. SD1 released a statement saying the utility continues to perform storm water services and spend storm water surcharge money within Cold Spring. According to the statement, released by agency spokesperson Jamie Holtzapfel, “SD1 remains willing to discuss a resolution of Cold Spring’s claims regarding the storm water surcharge or the amount of the surcharge after Cold Spring takes over the permit.” The statement continued that “Because a city’s storm water runoff has an impact on the entire region, and everyone benefits from regional improvements in water quality, the property owners in Cold Spring will still be obligated to pay a storm water surcharge related to regional storm water efforts, even after the permit is transferred.” According to SD1’s statement, the amount of storm water surcharge fees that should be charge

to Cold Spring after transferring the permitting obligations to the city will be addressed by SD1’s board when the transfer actually happens. Stoeber’s letter also stated the city had attempted to discuss the SD1 issues with Judge-executive Steve Pendery because he appoints members to the utility’s board of directors. Stoeber’s letter said it has been six months since their conversations with Pendery and the city hasn’t heard anything back from the county. Pendery said he told Cold Spring he would address their concerns with SD1’s board, and he did that. Pendery said he never promised Cold Spring officials he would be talking to them about it after raising the city’s concerns with SD1’s board. Pendery said he never heard from the city either since their initial meeting and that plans for the city council to speak with utility’s board haven’t happened either. “They haven’t called me once to ask me about that, and they haven’t been to the sanitation district either,” Pendery said.

‘Happy Feet Ball’ to benefit Shoe Fund By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

A local orthopedic doctor is partnering up with the Charities Guild of Northern Kentucky (CGNK) to host the inaugural Happy Feet Ball to raise money for the guild’s Children’s Shoe Fund. The shoe fund, which has been providing shoes to underprivileged children for more than 25 years, provides children with $25 vouchers for new shoes through partnerships with local schools, churches and social service agencies. CGNK president Debbie Coulter said for the past few years, the guild has been holding a home tour as a

fundraiser for the shoe fund. Funds raised from the tour are also donate to other local charities. This year, the guild has decided to hold a party-type event and use the money only for the fund. “This year the money is just going to the shoe fund because we want to increase and broaden our reach,” Coulter said. “The need for children’s shoes in the this area has grown quite a bit and we want to address that need.” While the fund usually supplies about $12,000 worth of vouchers yearly, Coulter said last year they gave out more that $15,000 in vouchers and she expects that number to keep grow-

ing. Luckily, Coulter said the CGNK is not alone and has a lot of support for its shoe fund from community members like the event co-sponsor, Dr. Nick Gates from the Commonwealth Orthopedic Centers. Coulter said Gates, a Fort Thomas resident who has been supporting the guild for years, contacted the guild about co-sponsoring the event, which is from 711 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at Arnie’s on the Levee. “I decided to partner with them because it is a great way to have an immediate impact on disadvantaged children in our own backyard,” Gates said. “My wife Karen and I feel fortunate to be able to support local causes, and this is one of many great opportunities to make Northern Kentucky a better, safer and healthier place to raise our children.” Gates said at the ball, the community can support the shoe fund while having fun with friends and hearing live music by the Naked Karate Girls. Tickets for the event, which also includes appetizers, drink specials, a silent auction, games and prizes, are $25 a person and can be purchased at the CGNK website, www.charitiesguildnky.com.

“There’s a lot of fear, there’s a lot of thought and a lot of emotion that goes into the possibility of any consolidation,” Ward said. “Having someone come in from outside and assess what we currently have and come up with potential options for us is a good thing.” Ward said having an independent study is is similar to the process Alexandria’s department went through in 2009 when the city invited the Kentucky Regional Community Policing Institute to assess the department. The assessment team’s report including recommendations for improvements, but the team reported at the top of the findings as having “found a fully functioning police

department led by a police chief who is a progressive thinker and well respected both internally and externally in the Alexandria community.” “That was literally opening ourselves up to outside scrutiny and criticism, and I think you have to do that in order to grow,” Ward said. Commissioner Brian Painter said when the discussions first started the city and county leaders came in as friends, shook hands, and decided to leave as friends no matter what the outcome. “To keep that true spirit of cooperation and friendship is paramount,” Painter said.

Rechtin wants commissioners as board appointments cmayhew@nky.com

Independent boards and taxing authorities all have one thing in common that Campbell County Commissioner Ken Rechtin would like to change – appointed board members who aren’t accountable to voters. Rechtin said he sees a problem where people feel like they can’t “reach out and touch” independent boards in response to their decisions because people can’t vote for them. Rechtin said he realizes there is a lot of work and meetings for elected officials, but he believes it is worth considering the appointment of fiscal court members to serve. People appointed to serve on the local boards by each county’s Judge-executive are good people, he said. “Northern Kentucky gets a whole lot of benefit, and I would say expertise, from these local boards,” Rechtin said. “We have great people who serve on these boards, and I think they’re wonderful people.” The issue is people want to be able to hold the board members accountable for

things like raising taxes or fees, he said. The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky’s 12member appointed board has members appointed by each county government, but fiscal court reviewed the agency’s budget this year and recommended changes, he said. And, TANK receives funding through taxes relayed by the fiscal court and from the public at the fare box, he said. “If we’re going to be doing those things then let’s just eliminate those boards and do it ourselves,” Rechtin said. Rechtin said he found out by statute TANK board members can’t be fiscal court members, but that requirement isn’t there for most boards, and it’s even possible to change the law forbidding commissioners from being board members for the transit authority. “Put in someone on these boards who is directly responsible to the electorate and can therefore be punished through the polls,” he said. It may not be physically feasible for commissioners to be on every board, but that may also lead to some cre-

but he’s not sure having them all serve on boards instead of appointees is necessarily better. “Then you’ve got somebody that is trying to get elected, and what are they going to try to do to do that,” he said.

have their budgets ratified and approved by the fiscal courts, so that’s an interesting way to skin the cat,” he said. Campbell County Judgeexecutive Steve Pendery said he thinks all three of his commissioners would do a great job serving on boards, but it’s not realistic for them do it all. “But we have 140 appointments to make or something like that,” Pendery said. “I don’t really think its practical to appoint elected officials on all these boards.” Pendery said he appoints people from the general public on boards who have great credentials and something to offer the boards. Pendery said the county has appointed an engineer to the sanitation district board and a bank president to the county’s cable television

ative thinking, Rechtin said. “Let’s say that the three appointments for the fire districts all become county commissioners, would some of those commissioners say maybe this doesn’t make sense, maybe we shouldn’t have multiple districts?” he said. They might ask themselves if there is a better way of doing things, Rechtin said. Rechtin said he made a public statement previously supporting the proposed South Branch of the Campbell County Public Library, but he also stated the structure of the board was wrong because members are appointed. There may be some wisdom in having people with specific expertise serving at a very low or no cost, but there needs to be a way to provide more direct oversight that is accountable to voters, he said. Sen. Damon Thayer, RGeorgetown, introduced a bill into the Kentucky legislature last year, but it wasn’t supported because fire districts rallied against it, Rechtin said. “Any taxing authority or fee authority would have to

That’s the first newspaper reference to local government mergers in Northern Kentucky, according to Northern Kentucky University history professor Paul Tenkotte. Most cities have opted to remain independent Campbell County has 15 cities and Kenton has 18 but the idea of consolidation never left the minds of local leaders. Tenkotte and other experts at a forum Oct. 11 at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center discussed the economic benefits and challenges of merging governments and services. Some said other areas, such as Louisville, gained economic development advantages by consolidating governments. The answer to why Northern Kentucky has so many cities lies with the Great Depression and World War II, Tenkotte said. The leaders of many

Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery shakes hands with Michelle Kolb, Northern Kentucky Account Manager for Duke Energy, as she presents an $11,487 rebate check from the company’s Smart Saver Incentive Program during the Oct. 19 Fiscal Court meeting for the county’s installation of energy efficient lighting in government buildings. Court meeting in Newport. A federal grant paid for the new light fixtures that were installed two months ago, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. The county will be reviewing its utility bills over the next year to determine the actual savings, ©2011 Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.

Horine said. In June 2010, the fiscal court approved the installation of energy efficient lighting at 13 county-run buildings ranging from the animal shelter to the county administration building in Newport using federal stimulus funds from a Federal Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant. At the time the county’s monthly utility bills were about $54,000 monthly, according to a June 4, 2010, story in The Campbell County Recorder. The county also anticipated from the beginning being eligible for a rebate through a Duke Energy Smart Saver Incentive Program, Horine said. There are positives in

four areas including receiving the federal grant to pay for the lighting, the Duke Energy rebate, estimated cost savings on utility bills and replacing light fixtures that needed upgrading anyway, Horine said. “So, it’s a win, win, win, win,” he said. Michele Kolb, the Northern Kentucky account manager for Duke Energy, said since 2009 the company has paid out more than $11 million through the Smart Saver Incentive Program for upgrades to lighting as well as heating and air conditioning systems. By lessening demand for energy, Duke can avoid buying additional power or building another power plant, Kolb said.

Kenton County suburban cities in the 1920s, such as Fort Mitchell and Park Hills, envisioned being annexed by Covington, he said. But the Works Progress Administration in the Great Depression built infrastructure in these cities, and the World War II generation’s volunteerism sustained the small cities. “The WPA ... provided funds on a cost-sharing basis to build city buildings, school sidewalks, sewers, water treatment plants, you name it, and the suburbs took advantage of that and got great infrastructure built,” Tenkotte said. “So then we go into World War II. After World War II, the suburbs can take advantage of what Tom Brokaw and others called the Greatest Generation, a generation that was very involved with civic engagement ... and they looked and said we don’t need Covington anymore.” Rising pension costs for cities has many looking at ways to save money. That might mean the merging of services, Crestview Hills Mayor Paul Meier said. “If something drastic doesn’t happen with that pension system, we’re going to have to look at least at the consolidation of services,” Meier said. “That’s one of the things our city has done. We don’t have our own fire department. We contract that out. We contract the police department. I think you will find that in a lot of places going forward.” The consolidation of city and county governments doesn’t happen often in the United States, Suzanne Leland, a political science professor with the Urban Institute of the University of North Carolina, told the audience Oct. 11. Only 40 city-county consolidated governments exist in the United States, she said, including Lexington and Louisville. When they get proposed, 85 percent get defeated at the ballot box, Leland said. Most city-county mergers happen with areas that have a populations of 100,000-300,000, she said, and succeeded when the campaign stressed the economic development value over the government efficiency, Leland said. The forum Oct. 11 featured people who worked elsewhere in the state on consolidation. Some leaders in Hardin County, which has a population of 105,000, have proposed consolidating the government of the county and the cities, which includes Elizabethtown and five other municipal governments. In addition to less duplication, the merging of governments would give Hardin County more clout, said Luke Schmidt, a consultant who is working on the proposed Hardin County consolidation. A unified government in Hardin County would make it the third-largest city in the state. “Because of that, economic development will be more focused - more singularly focused - and we expect good job creation to come from that,” Schmidt said.

Reading program offers different learning experience to students By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Along with practicing basic reading skills and participating in programs like Accelerated Reader, students at Fort Thomas’s elementary schools are learning in a different way through the Junior Great Books Program. The program uses a shared inquiry method where students read stories from classic literature together, then discuss the stories, their reactions to them and their reasons for reacting a certain way. “This is much different than our regular reading series,” said Jay Brewer,

principal at Moyer Elementary. Brewer said the program is currently used in second through fourth grades, but teachers are looking to start it in kindergarten and first grade this year. Fourth-grade teacher Natalie Heilman said the Junior Great Books program offers her students a chance to learn even more by sharing their ideas and offering evidence to support their opinions. “I like how this program makes them think about things at a different level,” Heilman said. During her class Monday, Oct. 17, students read the story “How the Peas-

men to Venice to buy wisdom. A man in Venice sells the

men a mouse in a box, which they accidentally let out of the box during their journey home on their ship. After reading the story, Heilman’s students discussed what they found interesting in the story and whether the men succeeded in bringing back wisdom and evidence from the story that supports their opinion. Heilman said while the questions the students are asked after each story don’t have a right answer, they spark a lot of thought and discussion among the students. The stories also teach the students that it’s alright to have different opinions or interpret things a different

CALIFORNIA - The 176 students at Sts. Peter and Paul School in California raised more than $3,600 during an Oct. 7 “Walk for Your Library” fundraiser. The private Catholic school in California came up with the event as a way of funding its library book budget, said Shelli Bezold, of California, a parent and one of the organizers of the event. Bezold said it struck her when she realized the school’s part-time librarian Sandy Hartig was buying the students some library materials on her own because there officially was zero funding for new books. “She told me she had already spent $250 of her own money for our kids so they would have things that are up to date,” Bezold said. The books purchased were copies of the American Library Association’s children’s books Newberry medal winners, but Hartig only had the first part of a series, she said.

Highlands students pose for a picture after participating in the Hands Across the Water walk-a-thon.

Bezold said Hartig used to be a second-grade teacher at the school, and she inspires children to read. “To me as a parent this is a very important to me, and I have children who love to read because of this teacher,” she said. Students were asked to collect pledges or donations of at least $10, and with 176 students they far exceeded that goal, Bezold said. On the day of the walk, the students walked around the school and church’s parking lots between different physical activity stations designed by teachers where they had to spend five minutes performing a learning task while also exercising, she said. At the end of the day, Bezold said she kept the amount raised secret until she could show Hartig how much was raised in person to see the librarian’s reaction. “She actually got choked up because it’s an amazing amount of money, and she’ll do amazing things with it,” Bezold said.

The walka-thon benefited Proctor and Gamble’s Children’s Safe Drinking Water program. Currently, 6.7 million people across the world do not have safe drinking water. Through the program, P&G distributes packets of PUR, which purifies water. Every $30 donated to the program can provide safe drinking water for a family of four for a year. Along with the Highlands walk-a-thon, Johnson Elementary students got involved in the fundraiser by building and selling birdhouses at their annual Hullabaloo event.

Northern Kentucky University has been awarded a $97,289 extension grant from the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to support the Northern Kentucky Mathematics Specialists Project, which works with elementary and middle grades teachers and administrators in 11 northern Kentucky school districts to develop content and pedagogical expertise in mathematics through rigorous, faculty-led courses and job-embedded professional development. The project, originally funded for two years by the KDE, has included: three-week summer institutes in 2010 and 2011 taught by teams of NKU faculty and acknowledged teacher leaders providing participants with 12 graduate credits in mathematics con-

tent and pedagogy as well as collaborative action research and leadership projects addressing recognized needs in each district and conducted by teams of teachers, administrators and NKU faculty. The project also includes monthly collegial meetings during the academic year and quarterly planning and assessment meetings. At the end of two years, NKU submitted a variety of evaluation measures to KDE, including the impact of the project on teachers’ understanding of mathematics, adoption of researchbased best practices, leadership development and student learning in each project classroom. On the basis of these data, the KDE awarded this extension grant to sup-

port project activities for an additional school year. The extension grant, the maximum amount and time extension available through KDE, will enable continued planning and collaboration between NKU math education faculty and local teachers, and culminate with a regional mini-conference on the teaching and learning of mathematics during May 2012. The Northern Kentucky Mathematics Specialists Project grant is codirected by NKU faculty Drs. Ted Hodgson and Sara Eisenhardt. NKU faculty Beth Noblitt and Sarah Kasten serve as principal instructors for the project and have been instrumental in the planning and implementation of project activities.

Students to design a River Sweep poster Students in primary and secondary schools (public and private, K-12) are invited to design a poster for the 23rd annual River Sweep 2012. Fifteen prizes will be awarded. The grand prize is a $500 U.S. Savings Bond, and the school representing the grand prize winner will also receive an award. A $500 U.S. Savings Bond will be presented to the student with the winning design for the official River Sweep T-shirt. Thir-

teen $50 U.S. Savings Bonds will be awarded to one winner at each grade level. The poster contest is open to students living in or attending schools in counties bordering the Ohio River, or counties participating in the River Sweep. The 23rd annual River Sweep will be held Saturday, June 16, 2012. River Sweep is a one-day cleanup project for the Ohio River and its tributaries. The sweep covers nearly 3,000

miles of shoreline from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Ill., and averages more than 20,000 volunteers a year. Trash collected during the sweep has included cars, tires, furniture, toys, a piano, and a variety of other items. All trash collected is either recycled or placed in approved landfills. River Sweep is held to create an awareness of water quality problems caused by litter and illegal dumping. The poster contest, held in conjunction

with River Sweep, is one way to spread the word about litter prevention. Posters submitted for the contest should reflect this goal and focus on encouraging volunteer participation. Deadline for the River Sweep Poster Contest is Wednesday, Dec. 14. For information about the River Sweep Poster Contest, or for complete contest rules and regulations, contact Jeanne Ison at 1-800359-3977, or visit www. orsanco.org.

Thomas More offers three-year program

Dress like your teacher

THANKS TO JOE ZINK

Students and teachers from St. Joseph’s School in Camp Springs, recently celebrated “Dress as Your Teacher” Day. Pictured are “Teachers” - Paul W., Drew H., Delilah H., Hope F. and “Students” - Jill Lloyd, Katie Bradford and Principal Ron Christensen.

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 Services 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

Home finale nets 6th straight title for NCC

NEWPORT - Regardless of their team’s future, eight seniors on the Newport Central Catholic High School volleyball team had one last match on their home floor and one last shot at a regional championship. They took it, as the Thoroughbreds beat Campbell County 25-13, 25-21 in the 10th Region championship Oct. 20 at NewCath. NCC (23-10) will play Caldwell County (29-7) in the first round of the state tournament Oct. 28 at Bellarmine University in Louisville. “It means so much to all of us,”senior setter Taylor Snyder said. “We had such a great crowd tonight and they gave us such great motivation.” NCC won its sixth straight regional championship, and last in the 10th, as the team will be in the Ninth Region next year under a new alignment. The Thoroughbreds have known nothing but regional titles. “It’s what we came here to do,” said senior Maggie O’Day, the tourney most valuable player. “I’m very excited and ready to go to state. We’ve gone to state every year together, and it’s important for our underclassmen to get that experience.” NCC ended the first set on a 143 run after the Camels scored three straight points to make it an 11-10

With the teams tied at 18, O’Day notched two kills in a row, then Becky VonHandorf scored on a kill to give NewCath a 21-18 lead. Jamie Kohls later ended the match with a kill. “They fought tooth and nail to try and get us, and that’s what we expected,” said NCC head coach Vicki Fleissner. “I have one more week with these kids and we’re excited to go back to Bellarmine.” O’Day had six kills in the match. Senior Liz Gruenschlaeger posted 10 to lead NCC.

Seniors Kennedy Berkley and Chandler Gray were all-tourney picks for the Camels. Berkley had nine kills in the final, part of Gray’s 16 assists. Senior Jenna Martin posted seven kills. In digs, Taylor Kennedy had 11 and Sophie Head 10. The Camels will remain in the 10th Region next season. “They lost 25-13 in the first game and sometimes you come back from a loss like that and shut down, but we fought even harder,” said Camels head coach Melissa Johnson. “Our seniors led us tonight, and they did an outstanding job. They are an outstanding group of ladies. I’m proud to be their coach.”

Senior Taylor Snyder had 19 assists and six digs. Maria Froendhoff led the team with 10 digs and Hayley Sandhas posted six. Snyder and Gruenschlaeger were all-tournament with O’Day the MVP.

Bird eventually beat cat as the Bluebirds pulled out a 34-29 win in the “Pit” at Elder, as Highlands improved to 9-0 and the Cincinnati powerhouse Panthers dropped to 2-7. Highlands beat Elder for the first time in five tries since 1999. The Bluebirds have been averaging more than 60 points a game this year, including a wacky 75 a game in the last three victories. Towles and his fellow first-stringers have been pulled by halftime in most of the games.

For Brossart, senior wide receiver Spencer Brown had four catches for 84 yards and a 48yard touchdown, as well as an interception on defense. Jacob Elbert rushed for 70 yards and ended the game with 995 for the season. Spencer Hackworth was 12-of-23 for 169 yards in his second start in place of injured senior Jesse Orth. Brossart honored seniors Jesse Orth, Spencer Brown, Max Stiers, Brian Wechbach, Matt Kramer, Mitchell See and Bobby Crowe. Brossart dropped to 3-6 for the season. Next up: Brossart plays at Scott 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28. Brossart has played its home games there this year but will be visitors this week against the host Eagles.

NewCath 31, Holy Cross 14

NewCath won the 2A, District 6 title. Brady Hightchew rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns, and threw for 110 yards and one Against Elder, Towles left with a head injury and a minor concussion in the first quarter. As of Monday, it was possible Towles would play Friday in the regular season finale against Ryle. Backup Donovan McCoy threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns, including the eventual game-winner, a 58-yard strike to David Christian early in the fourth period. McCoy had played receiver this year and caught 19 passes. Highlands trailed 17-7 in the second quarter before

Next up: NCC plays at Beechwood 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.

Lloyd 28, Newport 27

Newport dropped to 4-6 in its regular season finale and finishes fourth in Class 2A, District 6. With 18 seconds remaining in the first half, Lloyd attempted an onside kick that Newport senior linebacker Matthew Shepard returned for a touchdown to tie the game at 20. Newport scored first in the second half on a 15-yard pass from JaShawn Short to Daylin Garland. Lloyd answered with a Dakota Kidd seven-yard touchdown run. Lining up for the extra point, Newport jumped offside, allowing Kidd to run in the two-point conversion to win. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. Short rushed for two TDs and threw for one. He had 69 yards on the ground and 184 in the air. Garland had seven catches for 99 yards and a TD. Shawn Roberts recovered a Lloyd

The Bluebirds were able to recover the loose ball in the endzone for a safety instead of Elder potentially tying the game with a touchdown. Highlands then held on defense and ran out the clock. McCoy also rushed for 59 yards and a score. Austin Sheehan caught seven passes for 193 yards and a TD. He has 874 yards

Bellevue 17, Dayton 6

Bellevue built a twotouchdown lead behind senior running back Jordan Fogelman within the first nine minutes of the game and held on to knock off rival Dayton 17-6 Friday night in a Class A District 4 game at Dayton. The Tigers (5-4, 2-1) won their fourth straight Battle of the Paddle game against the Greendevils in the 132nd playing of this matchup. More importantly, Bellevue clinched second place in the district and will host a first-round playoff game in two weeks. Dayton dropped to 1-8, 0-4 and finished in fourth place. Fogelman rushed for 118 yards and two TDs. T.R. Smith threw a 15-yard TD pass to Danny Sparks for Dayton’s lone score. Bellevue’s Kaylynn Dill kicked two extra points and a field goal. The defensive struggle featured just 217 yards offense for Bellevue and 153 for Dayton. Tyler Ackerson, Nick Haire, Jordan McIntyre and Nolan Rechtin recovered Dayton fumbles for the Tigers. Jacob Hatter had 11 tackles and Cameron Pangallo 10. Next up: Bellevue plays at Lloyd 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28. Dayton plays at Carroll County 7:30 p.m. the same night.

Parties can work together 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. U.S. Sen. That would stifle Mitch economic growth McConnell and lead to fewer jobs, not more. Community The president’s Recorder latest stimulus has guest proposal bipartisan opposicolumnist tion 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 common-sense 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

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 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 jobs. It’s no wonder that so many of the Kentuckians I talk to, regardless of political stripe, all agree on one thing: the solutions coming out of this administration simply miss the mark.

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 farmdust regulations that are both absurd and economically disastrous. Our proposal would spur energy production by allowing more mining 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.

A few weeks ago, NBC News put education in the spotlight during the 2011 Education Nation Summit. The two-day conference brought together some of the most prominent leaders in the American education system in a national discussion of how to improve education at every level. The summit examined virtually every issue facing American education and competitiveness today. Some takeaways: American competitiveness in global markets is inextricably intertwined with the nation’s ability to educate our citizenry. NBC News commentator Tom Brokaw is more succinct. He says education is a matter of national security. Another takeaway: As a nation, we can and must do a better job of preparing students for the rigors of today’s economy, beginning at the K-12 level, progressing through postsecondary education, both community colleges and four-year institutions, and culminating in an atmosphere of lifelong learning. I agree with Dr. Francisco Cigarroa, chancellor of the University of Texas system, who noted at the summit that education is a continuum. “I don’t like to look at community colleges, or K-12 systems, or higher education as different silos,” he said. “In order for us to be far more innovative, we really have to work as a community.” Well said. The consensus of the panel in which I participated, which examined the value of higher education, was that the education continuum must work together to address what has been labeled the “preparation gap.” The gap appears at various levels. It shows in the high percentage of entering college freshmen who need remediation to handle college-level work. It may show up as “transfer shock” when community college students move on to four-year universities. It exists in the workplace as employers search for highly skilled workers to fill increasingly sophisticated

jobs in a global knowledge economy. Gateway is attacking the gap in numerous and innovative ways. We are creating new outreach proEd Hughes grams to enable Community high school stuRecorder dents to earn college credit. We are guest implementing new columnist approaches to developmental education through “learning communities” that pair writing, reading and math classes to provide a deeper learning experience, enable students to network more easily and adjust to college faster. We offer a variety of support and success services that help students deal with the “life issues” that may get in the way of their ability to persist and complete a credential. Academic, career and personal counseling, shuttle bus service between campuses via TANK, workshops, campus employment opportunities, and grant-funded programs that offer intensive student follow-up are just a few of the ways we are working to help students overcome barriers to completion. We work closely with regional employers to keep them supplied with skilled graduates who can help them improve their competitive position. And we are providing comprehensive assistance to students who intend to transfer in pursuit of higher-level degrees. The 2011 Education Nation Summit demonstrated the complexity involved in developing solutions to the myriad issues facing the American education system. At Gateway, we’re doing our part. It isn’t a complete solution on a national platform. But it is a good start. Ed Hughes is president/CEO of Gateway Community and Technical College.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Trash for cash

The Bishop Brossart High School Boys Cross Country team recently participated in the Trash for Cash Program. Team members came together to cover a total of 10 miles of road on either side of the intersections of Rt. 536 and Rt. 915. The group was surprised by the amount of trash that could and should have been easily disposed of properly, but thrown out on the sides of the roads. Beer bottles, fast food wrappers and bags, and water bottles and soft drink cans made up most of the trash picked up. It was a great experience for the athletes to see the problem with not disposing of trash properly and the consequences of others actions. Rob Braun Bishop Brossart boys cross country coach

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 servic-

es 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 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. Worst of all, the MCOs have instituted plans to deliberately reduce the number of people allowed to access Medicaid services. Edward L. Smith Jr. of Park Hills is a charter member of Northern Kentucky Mental Health/Substance Abuse Regional Planning Council.

In just a few years, Judith O’Mara and her cat Bella have become inseperable.

O’Mara and cat are best friends By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com

FLORENCE - After 40 years out of town, Judith O’Mara adopted her best friend. After losing her husband and moving back to Northern Kentucky, O’Mara was in need of a companion. “My sister said, ‘You should get a cat,’” O’Mara said. O’Mara visited the Boone County Animal Shelter and adopted Bella. In just a short time, the two became best friends, O’Mara said. “She’s the joy of my life,” she said. Bella is a cat who loves

to be the center of attention and always wants to be with O’Mara. “She’s definitely what I needed,” she said. Two years into their relationship, Bella is always unturning surprises, O’Mara said. In the last six months, Bella has started playing fetch. “I’ve never even thought about a cat retrieving,” O’Mara said. It was a skill Belle just started one day, she said. “I didn’t know; I didn’t train her,” O’Mara said. O’Mara looks forward to several years with her cat Bella. “She’s my best girl,” O’Mara said.

Get weatherization help

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. With October as National Weatherization Month, it’s a busy season for PWC’s weatherization program but the nonprofit typically has a low number of requests for work in Northern Kentucky. “We are looking to better inform Northern Kentucky homeowners and renters of PWC’s weatherization services,” said Nina Creech, vice president of operations at PWC. “We have the capacity to serve these Kentucky homeowners and renters and can provide them with

services to greatly reduce their energy usage, which means a great deal during cold winter weather.” Weatherization services include an energy audit, furnace cleaning and tuning, carbon monoxide check, and installation of weatherization materials when appropriate. In many cases, PWC can help reduce home energy expenditures by as much as 20 percent, PWC staff also provide simple do-it-yourself tips to clients to help them minimize the colder weather’s effect on local residents’ energy usage. To see if you’re eligible for PWC’s weatherization services, call 513-3517921. For more information on People Working Cooperatively, visit www.pwchomerepairs.org.

Aubree Forrer, education assistant at the Campbell County Environmental Education Center off Race Track Road at A.J. Jolly Park, steps onto a bridge Saturday, Oct. 22, that is part of a trail system where she regularly takes visitors on guided afternoon day hikes.

Campbell County center offers nature experiences By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA - For nature-lovers and the curious, the place to learn about wildlife and plants calling Campbell County home is the 50-acre Campbell County Environmental Education Center bordering A.J. Jolly Park. The center offers two nature trails people can use anytime and an educational building that is staffed five days each week. The building is filled with aquariums and interactive displays for children and is the site of multiple programs ranging from do-it-yourself mushroom growing to building bat and bird houses and animal tracking and bird watching. The center is operated by Campbell County’s office of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Jason Martin, of Fort Thomas, was making his first visit to the center Oct.

22 for a Shiitake mushroom production class where participants drilled into logs they later took home with injections of mushroom spores and instructions how to care for their crop. Martin said adding home-grown mushrooms is just another aspect to his family’s focus on growing more of their food at home. Until attending the class, Martin said he was unaware of the all the programs offered there and he plans come back with his family to walk the wooded nature trails. “Knowing that it’s here, it’s really nice and I’ll definitely bring my kids out here for some other programs,” he said. The center is a place where people can come to appreciate nature in a comfortable setting, said D.J. Scully, Campbell County extension agent for natural resources and environmental management. The center’s building is staffed with a nature guide

from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday each week, and the trails outside are open every day. Each day the center is staffed, guided nature walks are offered if people show up for them, Scully said. Inside there are exhibits about the mammals of Campbell County, aquariums with native fish, and interactive displays for children about wildlife, he said. There is also a window with glass that allows people to see the birds and animals around an outside feeding area, but doesn’t allow the animals to see inside. “Folks generally are blown away when they come inside because they didn’t even know this was here,” Scully said. The center’s mix of programming and accessibility make it a unique place to come, and it belongs to the community, he said. It’s a place to re-engage with the environment, Scully said.

State launches job-match system To make it easier for job seekers to search for career opportunities, the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training has launched a new job-match system. The new tool, provided at no cost, helps users create a professionally formatted résumé highlighting transferable skills from life experiences and work history, and forwards leads based on the database of thousands of current job listings to the job seeker daily via email. The service matches

people with jobs based on how specific job seekers’ skills, qualifications and experiences fit into recognized patterns of placement and not simply based upon key word placement. It analyzes more than 70 data elements between each job seeker and each posting to ensure that matches are accurate and appropriate. Jobs can be searched by location, posting date, keywords and rating desire. More information is available at https://selfreg. ky.gov/.

And when people stop in in to ask her questions they often needlessly apologize for taking up her time, Forrer said. “A lot of people don’t realize it’s what I’m here for, is for them,” she said. Roger and Pattie Neltner of Alexandria brought their 14-year-old son Kevin with them to the mushroom class. “This resource here is unbelievable,” said Roger Neltner. Prior to the building being staffed regularly, they often passed it by, but now with the availability of the free programs their family are regular visitors, he said. “To me, it’s like the Cincinnati Nature Center, but its close to home,” said Roger Neltner.

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.

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.” Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

Bag these worms now before they hatch Question: Would it do any good to pick off the 2inch-long bagworm “bags” from my spruces and arborvitae trees at this time of year? Is the worm still in the bag? How do bagworms overwinter, and should I spray them now? Answer: Picking the bags off by hand and disposing of them is actually the best way to control bagworms in the fall, winter and early spring before the eggs have hatched. When many small bagworms are infesting ever-

greens, an insecticide may be needed to prevent serious damage. The best time to apply an insecticide is while the larvae are still small (less than 1⁄2-inch long). In Kentucky, this is usually in June. Preventive treatment in the spring is often justified on plants that were heavily infested with bagworms the previous year. Bagworms are the larval (caterpillar) stage of a moth that is rarely seen. Only the males develop into typical moths capable of flight. The

adult female is grub-like and remains inside the bag until just before she dies. Bagworms pass the winter as eggs inside the bag that contained the previous year’s female. In mid to late May the eggs hatch, and the tiny larvae crawl out from the end of the bag in search of food. By using silk and bits of plant material, they soon construct a small bag around their hind part that looks like a tiny, upright ice cream cone. As the larvae continue to feed and grow,

they enlarge the bag enabling them to withdraw into it when disturbed. Older larvae strip evergreens of their needles and consume whole leaves of susceptible deciduous species, leaving only the larger veins. By early fall, the bags reach their maximum size of 11⁄2 to 2 inches. At this time the larvae permanently suspend their bags (pointing downward) from twigs, and transform into the pupa or resting stage before becoming an adult. Adults emerge from the pupal stage in

After the fertilized female has laid several hundred eggs inside her old pupal case within the bag, she drops from the bag and dies. The eggs remain in the bag until the following May, when the cycle begins again. There is one generation per year.

Horticulture B a g Concerns worms have two means Mike Klahr of dispersing from plant to plant. Very young larvae may spin strands of silk and be carried fairly long distances by wind. Larger larvae may move short distances by crawling. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

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 potting mixes for next year’s use. • Complete raking and cleanup of debris and dead foliage in the landscape beds. Clean up left over fallen fruits and veggies. Pull any existing weeds. • Collect extra leaves

from lawns and beds, grind up, and pitch into the compost pile. Also use finely ground leaves for tilling into the garden soil. • Keep ponds netted and clean out debris that makes its way into the ponds. • Check gutters for late leaf buildup. • Remove hoses from spigots but keep handy in case watering needs to be done. Properly store chemicals that are subject to freezing, and 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 winter months. Pre-holiday 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.

All of us at risk for lead poisoning

THANKS TO KELLY CAMM

NAMI NKY raises $14,500

WKRC Channel 12’s Kit Andrews, honorary chair, led the “Steps Against Stigma” walk with Fort Thomas Police Officer Chris Goshorn, Crisis Intervention Team 2011 Office of the Year, at Pioneer Park on Oct. 8. The walk was National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Northern Kentucky’s first and raised $14,500, surpassing the goal of $10,000. More than 200 people participated.

As the weather turns cooler we spend more of our time indoors. Because of the extra time spent inside, our exposure to indoor air pollutants increases. An element of concern that may be in your home is lead. Our bodies have a difficult time processing lead. Lead poisoning may occur. Children under the age of 6 are especially at risk for lead poisoning. However, adults may also be affected. Lead poisoning causes learning and developmental disabilities. There are usually no specific symptoms for lead poisoning. Many of the symptoms are common to many other ailments and include headaches, stomachaches and tiredness. You child’s health care provider can perform a blood test to determine lead levels in their system. We often hear of the dangers of lead-based paint. It is usually the dust from deteriorating lead-based paint that is the problem. Children who play on the floor increase their exposure to the lead-laden dust.

They may bring lead dust or particles home on their clothing, shoes, or skin. Those who create stained glass or pottery may be exposed to lead. Individuals who use lead fishing lures or sinkers, make firearms, or collect lead figurines can be exposed to unhealthy levels of lead. Lead was common in gasoline and was released in the exhaust of cars. Those who live near major roads or highways may have higher levels of lead in their soil than those living in more remote areas because of the car exhaust. Some pottery and jewelry contain lead. To prevent lead poisoning problems in your family consider: • Remove your shoes

when you enter the house to reduce the amount of dirt coming into your home. • If you work in a profession where you may be exposed to lead, consider changing clothes and showering before heading for home. • Wash your hands especially after handling items that may contain lead. • Don’t allow your child to chew on items like jewelry that might contain lead. • Damp mop or wipe surfaces frequently. • Eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Some nutrients, including iron and calcium, can reduce the absorption of iron by the body. Diets high in fat actually increase the absorption of lead by the

body. Lead poisoning does not discriminate. It can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Diane Mason is county extension agent for family and consumer sciences at the Boone County Cooperative Extension Service.

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. Nighttime is an especially dangerous time to be on the road, but Halloween

family

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