city financing no longerrequires a nonprofit cor-poration for issuance ofcity debts, but the publicproperty corporation’s

structure would allowKenton County officialsand members of theNorthern Kentucky AreaPlanning Commission tohave input on the TIF dis-trict’s administration.

The city has alreadyrequested that KentonCounty and NKAPC also

provide incremental fi-nancing within the speci-fied area for future devel-opment.

Parsons said the corpo-ration would have a five-member board, with allmembers appointed bythe mayor and approvedby City Council. Onemember of those fivewould also be designatedby theKentonCounty Fis-cal Court.

“This provides amech-anism for the county andNKAPC to be on the boardto provide some input, butthe ultimate decisionwould belong to the city,”he said.

in 2006, and membershipis open to grades 5-8.

“We have four volun-teers including myselfthat lead the students,”she said. “They’re allquilters.”

Each quilt, a little lessthan 5 foot by 4 foot, iscomprised of 63 fabricsquares each 6.5-inches,

Metzger said.“You feel like you ac-

complished somethingwhen you finish a quilt,”Metzger said. “The quiltswe make here are prettysimple.”

Students tie all the lay-ers of each square byhand, and then use a sew-ing machine to stitchthem together, she said.

Laney Griffith of VillaHills, a sixth-grader, saidshe made a quilt with tworabbits in the middle for

the Ronald McDonaldHouse.

“I think it’s a greatthing to do because somany people are not asfortunate as us and some-one in their family issick,” Griffith said.

Students in all gradesat St. Joseph have alsobrought in more than 100pounds of tabs from alu-minum cans to donate tothe Ronald McDonaldHouse, said Taylor Eitingof Crescent Springs, an

eighth-grader and presi-dent of the student coun-cil. The council, withmembers ingrades fourththrough eighth, has adrive to see what class-rooms can collect themost tabs.

Eiting said the can tabcollection is one of threeannual council fundrais-ers; the others a bake saleand a lolly pop sale. Lastyear’s baked goods andlolly pop sale proceeds allwent to the Mary RoseMission, a soup kitchen inFlorence.

Eiting said the can tabcollection continues year-round.

Student council trea-

surerMollyReese ofVillaHills said the classroomcollecting the most tabsgets by November re-ceives an extra rewardbeyond the incentive ofhelping people.

“They win an out ofuniform day,” Reese said.

The tab collection isalso guided by first-gradeteacher Moira Dietz andjunior high literatureteacherMariaKanter, thefaculty moderators of thecouncil.

“Right now that one 30-gallon can we know is 100pounds, and there is morethroughout the wholeschool right now insidethese gallon jugs,” Dietz

said.Remaining gallon jugs

of tabs in classroomswere being collected Nov.13 to take to a recyclingplant in Walton, she said.

The recycling plant isable to send the proceedsfrom the sale of the cantabsdirectly to theRonaldMcDonald House, shesaid. The Ronald McDon-ald House does not givethe school a tally of howmuch money is raised byeach year’s can tab dona-tion.

“What they tell us iswhen you reach about 100pounds it is an about twonight stay for a family,”she said.

EDGEWOOD — KentonCounty Schools receivedthe Kentucky SchoolBoards Association’sPEAK Award for the sec-ond time since its incep-tion in 1997.

The association com-prises 178 school districtsand awards the PublicEducation Achieves inKentucky Award twiceeach year to “focus state-wide attention on out-standing public school ef-forts aimed at enhancingstudent learning skills,”according to its website,www.ksba.org.

During the past 16years, 33 districts havewon the award. Kenton isone of five districts thathave won twice, havingearned its first award in2001. After winning thePEAK Award, districtsare not eligible again for10 years.

The PEAK Award waspresented to KentonCounty SuperintendentTerri Cox-Cruey andKen-ton School Board Chair-woman Karen Collins onDec. 2at theAcademiesofInnovation and Technol-ogy, which is the programhonored with the award.

The Academies of In-novation and Technologyprogram provides a di-rect career pathway forstudents in six industries:biomedical sciences, en-gineering, high perfor-mance production tech-nologyengineering, infor-matics, media arts and

sustainable energy tech-nology engineering.

“Our criteria for theacademies are those jobsthat are going to be someof the largest-growing oc-cupational groups, butalso where the wagewould be something thatcould sustain a family,”said Cox-Cruey.

“If the student can ex-plore careers in highschool and get in a fieldwhere they are success-ful, we’ve accomplishedthree things: They arenow interested in gettingeducated; they have apathway that theyarenat-urally successful in be-cause they can see wherethey are going; andthey’re not going to con-sume all this time andmoney trying to decidebetween graduation and25 what they really wantto be and start at 25 andget there by 30,” said CarlWicklund, Kenton CountySchool Board vice chair-

man. “They’re going to bethere by the time they are20-23, so we are givingthem a 10-year head startin life.”

Enrollment in thethree-year program near-ly doubled this year, ris-ing from 200 students thefirst year to 370 this year,with a capacity for up to750 students.

Cox-Cruey expects theacademies to continue togrowand possibly expandinto other areas.

Students spend half aday in their regular class-es and theotherhalf at theacademy of their choice,which may be located atone of Kenton County’sthree high schools or itsEdgewood campus, a for-mer area technology cen-ter. The district trans-ports them if theacademyis not at their homeschool.

EDGEWOOD — Whenthe rain pours, Lyndaleand Edgewood roadsflood.

“With hard rains, weget a lot of water thatcomes down from Lyn-dale Court,” Edgewoodresident Joan Noll said.“The creek that parallelsLyndale Court overflowstoo. It all floods our frontyard. Sewer lids pop off.It’s a lot of water. Some-times traffic has to beblocked from comingthrough here. One occa-sion, a few years ago, wa-ter lapped at our garagedoors.”

She said she’s beenconcerned for the safetyof drivers and people inthe neighborhood.

“It can be dangerous,”she said. “A car wheelcould go in to one of themanholes or a personwalking through the wa-ter could fall in. One yearmy daughter went outwadding in the water andfell into a hole where theswear lid had popped off.She was in high school.Shewas strong enough tocatch herself and getout.”

The floods have alsocaused deep holes in herfront yard that have to befilled in every so often,Noll said.

The flooding along theroads has been an issue,Edgewood Road residentRaymond Zerhusen said,since he moved thereabout 40 years ago. Al-though it doesn’t directlyimpact his property, hesaid it is a nuisance butresidents in the area are

“used to it.”“I’d like to see it im-

proved,” he said.Zerhusenmay just get

his wish. The city andSanitation District 1(SD1) are researching onhow to fix the problem.

Mayor John Link saidat the Nov. 18 councilmeeting the city has been

discussing possible plansto fix the issue with SD1,howeveranexactpropos-alhasnotbeenpresented.SD1 will meet with thepublic works directorand mayor’s assistantsome time in December.Link said the projectcould cost $2 million.

“The costs would be

split between the city andthe Sanitation District,”Link said. “They’ll pay $1million and the city $1million. The projectwould also be done instages, spread out over afew years.”

The project came onthe radar because Lyn-dale andEdgewood roadsare expected to resur-

faced and paved in thenext fewyears, Link said.

The city notified SD1of theirplans. Inaneffortto coordinate the city’swork, SD1 has taken thepast severalmonths toas-sess thearea to lookat thecondition of the stormsewer system and the ca-pacity of the pipes, SD1Director of Communica-

tions Jamie Holtzapfelsaid.

“Wethenwent througha process called model-ing to help us identify po-tential projects thatwould work to addressthe area flooding,” shesaid.

FORT MITCHELL — Beech-wood School District is takinga proactive approach whendealingwith thepossibilityof aschool shooting, taking advan-tageof trainingnowofferedbythe Kentucky State Police.

As reported by the Cincin-nati Enquirer earlier this year,a growing number of schooldistricts are adopting a proac-tive training protocol calledALICE (Alert, Lock down, In-form, Counter, Evacuate).

Having gone through AL-ICE training earlier this year,Beechwood SuperintendentSteve Hutton said the schooldistrict staff will go throughthe training with the state po-lice thatwill simulate anactiveshooter in the school.

“You practice all the otherstuff, but you never practicethe actual event,” he said.

That,Hutton said, is the val-ue of the training – getting

teachers the hands-on experi-ence and to “experience thatintense emotion that willcome,”hesaid. “Because itwillbe very, very lifelike.”

The school will train Feb. 5.Studentswill not be around forthe session.

TrooperDavidJones, publicaffairs officer for the Ken-tuckyStatePolicePost6 inDryRidge, said the idea for thistraining was developed by anofficer in Western Kentucky,where “it’s gotten really, reallyhigh praise.”

The program, he said, willshow school staff things theycan do if an active shooter en-ters a school. The training willdiscussprior shootingsandputteachers through differentscenarios where they’ll beshown how to respond.

“Rather than being passive,it’s now about being proactiveand trying to counter what

school intruders are doing,”said Hutton.

Themainreason thedistrictisgoing throughthis training isto keep students safe, he said.

“Know that we’re beingproactive and not just waitingfor an event to happen,” Hut-ton said. “We want to provide(parents) with the sense of se-curity that our school districtis really taking an aggressivestance on keeping their kidssafe.”

According to Jones, thetraining has not been taughtyet in the area, but schools arejust now signing up.

It’s something, he said, toprepare teachers for theworst-case scenario.

“I hope they never have toutilize the training we givethem, but it’s good to have it intheir pocket if they need it.”

Covington CatholicMax Williamson, possibly

themost decorated CovingtonCatholic swimmer ever, isnow at Stanford. But the Colo-nels have plenty of returningdepth as they continue to aimfor the elusive goal of a teamstate championship.

Returning starters includediversEvanBrungs andLouieHunt in addition to swimmersJakeLentsch,EvanMcMillen,Will McMurtry, BrendanMeyer,RobbieNewman,ToddSheets, Zach Smith, MikeSumme andChaseVennefron.Others to watch start withThomas Hiltz, John Pieper,Josh Smith, Thomas Steiber,NoahWilmink,MattElsbernd,Jason Kreb and Nick Smith.

“Wearepleased to have themajority of our state scorersback for this season,” saidsixth-year head coach Rich-ard Dickmann. “One moreyear of experience for theseathletes will help our chancesdown state. Our depth is ourbiggest attribute.”

There’s no lack for depth atCovCath. One candidate tolead this year is senior Venne-fron, aUniversity ofMinneso-

ta signee and the defendingregional champion in the 100-yard breaststroke and 200 in-dividual medley. He was partof the winning 200 and 400freestyle relay teams. JuniorZach Smith, second in the 200freestyle both at region andstate, and second in the 500free at region, is a UniversityofKentuckyrecruit.Heswamon the state-record-breaking400 freestyle relay teamalongwith Vennefron and juniorTodd Sheets, second individ-ually at region in the 200 free.Junior Robbie Newman is theregion’s defending 100 butter-fly champion.

They’re allback, and there’s more.

A publication of

Cincinnati remains the 10th poorest city inthe country, according to the U.S. CensusBureau.

Carla, a Cincinnati resident who works10-hour days, six days a week, while takingcare of eight great-nieces and nephewscounts on the extra help she receives fromthe Freestore Foodbank to care for and putfood on the table for her family.

“It’s a great help. It means a lot to me. Ithelps to stretch the rest of the food. The Fre-estore Foodbank means everything to me. It’spart of my survival,” she said.

The holiday season is upon us, and our citymust continue supporting those in need nowand year-round. I am proud to live in Cincin-nati and have much gratitude towards thoseorganizations that devote their time, energy,and livelihood to help individ-uals and families in our city,especially the FreestoreFoodbank.

The poor and the strug-gling are our neighbors, Car-la is our neighbor. People inour community must face theharsh reality of hunger andfood scarcity daily. Eventhose that are fortunateenough to have jobs stillstruggle to make ends meetas the cost of food and ex-penses continue to increase.

My family, our teammembers, and ourguests have grown up in this community. Tolook at our neighborhoods – in our backyards,and see the struggles families have to face inorder to make ends meet, is disconcerting. Itis our responsibility to come together to helpthose in need. We as a community can workas a team to fight hunger.

I regularly visit our 63 pizzerias, from ourBoudinot Avenue location to Price Hill toAnderson Township to Forest Park, to meetwith guests and teammembers, to listen totheir stories about their families, their in-terests, their successes and sometimes, theirhardships. While many families who frequentour pizzerias can afford a hot meal, I haveheard of challenging times when putting foodon the table was a struggle for them, theirfamilies or friends.

During this holiday season, LaRosa’s isonce again proud to support the FreestoreFoodbank of Cincinnati to fight hunger righthere in our own backyard, serving more than300,000 people annually in 20 counties acrossOhio, Kentucky and Indiana.

The Freestore Foodbank is the Tristate’slargest foodbank distributing more that 19million meals annually. The organizationprovides emergency food assistance to mrethan 7,200 individuals per month from itsCustomer Connection Center in Over-the-Rhine alone.

Each of our pizzerias ar selling BuddyCards (our two-for-one pizza discount card)for the benefit of the Freestore Foodbank. Wewill donate $5 from the sale of every $10 Bud-dy Card directly to the Freestore Foodbankand the nourishment and comfort they pro-vide to those who truly need help in our com-munity.

Ultimately, our contribution will help sup-port the Freestore Foodbank’s annual goal todistribute 16.2 million pounds of food to meetour region’s growing demand. We hope you’lljoin us in our efforts to surpass our 2012 ef-fort of 7,000 cards sold for Cincinnati.

Here’s how you can help:» Buy a LaRosa’s Buddy Card by Dec. 31.

As I type, I am sitting in Cham-paign, Ill. having recently welcomedour newest family member, my neph-ew, Sutton James Harmeyer. He wasborn, Tuesday, Dec. 2, at ap-proximately 3:35 p.m. Ourfamily rejoiced at the won-derful Christmas gift we hadreceived.

Yet, just one short daylater I would get the newsthat my dearest friend hadlost her mother after losingher father a little more than ayear ago. My heart wasbreaking for her, and thefamily. And, another dearfriend had recently lost her husbandin the Rumpke truck accident just afewweeks ago.

The timing of these events is whatstands out in mymindmost. TheChristmas season. A time for joy,caroling, Christmas walks, bakingcookies and shopping. None of whichamother with a newborn, a daughtergrieving the loss of a parent, or awidowmissing her husband thisChristmas season is likely to want todo.

I am grateful this time of year thatthere is a gift I can share with those I

love that will always provide com-fort, and a quiet joy that reminds usthat regardless of what happens dur-ing the year, the peace of the holiday

season can still be ours if welook in the right place.

Most will agree that expe-riencing the true peace andjoy of the holidays does notcome in buying just the rightChristmas gift, orchestratingthe perfect party, or bakingthe perfect cookie.

But what is it? The key totrue and lasting peace duringthis Christmas season is ex-periencing the presence of

God. And it’s the presence of Godthat will bring peace to the newmoth-er (with a 2-year-old in the house), thegrieving daughter, and the lonelywidow.

The Bible says, “You will keep himin perfect peace, whosemind isstayed on you, because he trusts inyou.” (Isaiah 26:3)

It may not be an easy thing to do inthemidst of chaos, but if we remem-ber a couple of strategies, true andlasting peace can be ours.

Focus on God. Perfect peace canbe found when we fix our eyes on

Jesus. Focusing on our struggles andpain will only magnify our strugglesand pain. Focusing on Jesus magni-fies Him and the peace that he canand wants to provide.

Meditate on what he says. Ephe-sians 2:14 says, “For he himself is ourpeace….”

I recently found a note I had writ-ten in my Bible, but am unsure ofwhere the teaching came from. Itsimply says, “Everyday tell Jesus youreceive the blessings that he has setaside for you. Ask him to take care ofthe matters that burden you, andshine through you so that others maysee his love illuminating throughyou.”

I pray that all who read this, expe-rience the perfect gift of peace thisChristmas season. Especially, myfriend Jen.

In light of the extensivecoverage in the Enquirerregarding the CVG AirportBoard, I felt it was time toprovide my perspective onadditional board repre-sentation that is necessaryfor our community’sgrowth.

You may be aware thatall 8,000 acres of the Cin-cinnati/Northern KentuckyInternational Airport are in BooneCounty, but you might not know thatthe Kenton County Airport Board isthe owner of the airport. For thatreason, Boone County does not ap-point even one of the voting mem-bers of the Airport Board. With allthe issues surrounding CVG, I wantto address some questions that areoften asked.

I want to make it clear that BooneCounty deserves and needs morerepresentation on the board and Iam an advocate for that to happen.More than 50 years ago when thisairport was formed, Boone Countydid not choose to partner with Ken-ton County but things are very dif-ferent today. Currently Boone Coun-

ty is a strong and vibrantCounty that many other com-munities try to emulate. Weare a leader locally, regional-ly, and nationally. We havemuch to offer CVG and somuch at stake.

The makeup of the CVGboard is determined by statestatute and can only bechanged by the state legisla-ture and the governor. Under

state law, the seven voting membersare appointed by the Kenton Countyjudge-executive and one of thesemust be a Boone County resident.The Boone County judge-executiveappoints none of the seven votingmembers of the Airport Board.There are 11 advisory board mem-bers and the Boone County judge-executive appoints one of thesemembers. As I hope you agree, thisis not acceptable.

Boone County’s record-settingeconomic development and job cre-ation is fueled by our proximity tothe international airport. For oursuccess to continue we must addresshigh fares, some of the most expen-sive in the nation, and the need for

additional flights to key cities. Mostcompanies, new or existing, attri-bute CVG as a primary reason whythey located or expanded here. Ourairport must continue to serve thatrole for our region while being com-petitive with our peers.

With the county’s completion ofAero Parkway and Bushelman Bou-levard, new land is available andmore attractive for airport-relatedindustry and corporate campuses.By partnering with our Tri-CountyEconomic Development Organiza-tion (Tri-ED), CVG can add a compo-nent of large acreage developmentsites, not provided by private devel-opers, without adding to sprawl andcongestion in other parts of ourcommunity. These sites can providenew revenue to CVG and our com-munity while creating good payingjobs.

For these things to be accom-plished strong leadership is re-quired. Our resources and leader-ship here in Boone County can helpmake this happen.

Gary Moore is judge-executive of BooneCounty.

Northern Kentucky resi-dents are heeding thecalling of Gene Record.

That’s when they head to La-tonia’s Promenade Palace onTuesday to square dance.

Kathy Lusher of Cold SpringandherhusbandAlareregulars.

“The three main things oflearning to square dance is lis-ten to thecaller, listen to thecall-er and listen to the caller,” Lush-er said.

Record, who lives in ColdSpring, said he has been callingdances for 47 years.

Promenade Palace at Ritte’sCorner in Latonia, 3630 Decour-seyAve., is one of the last placesin the Cincinnati area wheresquare dancers continue to reg-ularly meet, Record said. Thesquare dancing hall was openedin 1981.

Record calls to the dancersusing a microphone as hewatches from a raised stage.

“Here we go ... side couplesup to the middle and back. Turntwo. Cloverleaf. Slide through.TurnTwo.Carefullydoapartnertrade.”

Record said his style of call-ing is known asmodernwesternsquare dancing because thedancers don’t know ahead oftime what moves he will com-mand them toperform.Dancerswill often perform a dozen dif-ferent calls during the course ofa song. In traditional squaredancing, the caller tells dancerswhatsongtheywilldanceto,andtheyknowtheroutine for theen-tire song.

And the songs aren’t just allcountry – Michael Jackson’s“Beat It” is among the amongthe music played, he said.

Square dancing is not onlygood physical exercise, it’s amental exercise to strengthenthe mind at any age, Recordsaid.

“Mentally, you have to reallylisten,” he said. “Aswe get olderwe don’t use our brains like weshould.”

TheTuesdaynightdancesareforanadvancedgroup,butthereare other sessions for beginnerclasses and tandem squaredancing groups, he said.

“We’ll teachyouyour left footfrom your right foot when youcome here,” Record said.

Bob Thola of Union said hiswife Irene brought him tosquare dance lessons after theygot engaged. They have beenmarried for 28 years. Thola saidhe didn’t know how to squaredance at the the time, but nowthey go dancing two or threetimes a week because they likeit.

“It’s fun to be able to followwhat the caller is calling,” hesaid. “It’s good exercise. Wemadea lot of friendsdoing this.”

Repetition makes followingthe caller easier, Thola said.

“You see how fast he’s sayingall these things?” he said.“You’ve got to execute themright away without messingthem up.”

Don Maddux of CherryGrove, Ohio, said when dancersmessup theymust laugh insteadof saying they are sorry or riskmessing up further.

Square dancers are alwayslearning new moves, so itdoesn’t get old, Maddux said.

“I just started 40 years ago,

and I’m still having a blast,” hesaid.

Victor and Linda McAtee ofIndependence started squaredancing in 2007. Square dancingis a good way to communicatewith other people and be social,said Victor McAtee.

“We like the friendship, andwe like theexercise,”hesaid. “Itstimulates our mind.”

Layerhalf the potatoes in pan.Pour half cheese mixtureover. Repeat and bake,covered, for 1 hour oruntil potatoes are tender.

The bodyof work combines pre-cise geometry with aconcurrent interest inspirituality and mysti-cism. The exhibition isthe first to be fully cu-rated by The Carnegie’sExhibitions DirectorMatt Distel.

The gallery is at 1028Scott Blvd.

“Ron was an incredi-bly prolific and meticu-lous artist,” Distel said.“However, his workwent largely unseen bythe broader public.Many factors contribut-ed to this situation, butultimately this is a bodyof work that is extreme-ly compelling and de-serves to be assessed inthe context of otherpainters working in theregion.”

Opening reception at-tendees are invited totake part in a specialpreview conversationwith Distel and the fam-ily of Ron Thomas from5:30-6 p.m. about the lateartist’s life and career. Acomplimentary cocktailwill be provided duringthe discussion.

In The Carnegie’s up-stairs galleries there are

five additional shows in-cluding the NorthernKentucky Printmakers(formerly the NorthernKentucky UniversityPrint Club) exhibition,“So They Say: Wisdomand Foolishness.” Thisgroup exhibition is com-prised of work by alum-ni, students, faculty andfriends of the NorthernKentucky UniversityPrint Department.

In addition to thegroup show, a variety ofsoloshowswillalsobeondisplay including “Ge-nus Machina“ by An-drew Dailey, comprisedof a series of drawingsdepicting fictitious ani-mal/machine hybridsthat reflect the relation-ship between nature andthe man-made; artistTrishWeeks’s “Speakingof Color” which displaysher signature work por-traying expressionistviews of nature createdby combining simplecompositions and com-plex layers of color; Da-vid Hartz, whose “draw-ings” were made byburning thepaper tocre-ate images and arepaired with playfulsculptures; and Ken-tucky Center Gover-nor’s School for the ArtsCarnegie ScholarshipWinner, Rachel Birrer,whose work is primarilyfocusedonaspectsof thehorse racing industry,many times using a rid-ing crop to create herwork rather than a tradi-tional paintbrush.

Few things beat thesweet juice of a freshpear dripping fromyourfingers on a chilly fallday.

According to USAPears, pears are one ofthe world’s oldest culti-vated fruits. Early colo-nists introduced thefirst pear trees to Amer-ica’s eastern settle-ments. Today, commer-cial pear production iscentered in theWest andPacific Northwestwhere growing condi-tions are ideal. Washing-ton leads our nation inpear production.

Pears are an excel-lent source of dietary fi-ber. The six grams of fi-ber in a medium pearwith theskinprovides24percent of the recom-mendeddailyallowance.Pears are a good sourceof vitamin C. They alsoprovide potassium andabout 100 calories in amedium pear. The nutri-tion in pears helps withheart health.

Pears come in manycolors fromgreen to yel-low to red to rust. Pearsripen best off the tree.Pears are fully maturewhen sold in the storebut are not necessarilyripe. To fully ripen apearathome, leave it outat room temperature.Bartlett pears changecolor from green to yel-low as they ripen. Othervarieties including An-jou, Bosc, Comice, and

Seckeldo notchangecolormuch asthey rip-en. Thebest wayis to“checktheneck.”

Gently press near thestem with your thumb.When it gives to gentlepressure it is ripe. If youwait until the pear is softaround the middle it isoverripe.

Once pears are fullyripe they will usuallykeep for 3-5 days in therefrigerator. Pears willnot ripen properly in therefrigerator.

Bosc and Anjou arebest for poaching, bak-ing and grilling becauseof their dense flesh.Bar-lett and Comice are besteatenout ofhandorusedin salads, salsas, andoth-er uncooked applica-tions. Overripe pearscanbeused in smoothiesor sauces.

Thenext timeyou areshopping for producetake a look at all of thevarieties of pears avail-able. Pick a few and ex-plore their wonderfulflavor and texture.
