In response to the recentincrease of heroin abusethroughout the area, StateSenator Katie Stine recentlyinvited Covington PoliceChief Spike Jones to speak be-fore the interim JudiciaryCommittee about what North-ern Kentucky law enforce-ment is encountering.

Stine said Jones “painted asobering picture” of local com-munities being torn apart byheroin, which is on the rise inpart because it is so cheap andaccessible, but also due toKen-tucky cracking down on pre-scription pain killers, leadingthose addicts to turn to heroin.

“I feel like it’s at the pointthat we need to get as manyfolks together as possible tosee how we can fight backagainst this scourge,” Stinesaid.

Stine said there needs to bea three-pronged approach tothe issue, includingeducation,more support and funding forlaw enforcement agenciesand a coordination of effortsbetween city, state and feder-al governments, and moretreatment options for addicts.

“This issue is really tear-ing apart families and ruininglives,” Stine said.

Jones, who said local lawenforcement is seeinga rise inheroin-users and traffickersaswell as thefts by people try-ing to support their habit, saidhe feels it’s important that thecommunity as a whole ac-knowledges this issue andworks together to control it.

“It has to be amultifacetedapproach,” Jones said. “A lotof it starts with law enforce-

ment, but we can’t solve thisissue just with handcuffs.”

Jones agreed that moretreatment options need to beavailable and in some cases,mandated by the court system.

Newport Police ChiefThomas Collins said there isonly somuch the police can doand he agrees that addressingthe heroin issue has to includegovernment officials, policeagencies and the communityworking together.

“In my 36 years of policework, I’ve seen a lot of differ-ent trends, but I’ve never seena heroin problem like this,”Collins said. “Heroin doesn’thave any boundaries, and somany good people are beingaffected by this.”

Stine said one thing herstaff is looking in to is increas-ing the sentences for thosetrafficking heroin.

Collins said that crackingdownon traffickerswouldhelpthe issue, but the bigger prob-lemlies incriminalsgettingpa-roled early because of over-crowding in the jail system.

FORT THOMAS—With phase 2oftheHighlandsHighSchoolren-ovation project nearly complete,district officials are moving for-ward with plans for phase 3,which include renovating the in-terior of the south building.

At its meetingMonday, Oct. 8,theFortThomasSchoolBoardap-proved hiring Robert EhmetHayes & Associates to completethe architectural services for theproject andvotedunanimously infavor of allotting approximately$4.3 million towards phase 3 ofthe project.

“This is a historic moment forourdistrict,”saidSuperintendent

GeneKirchner. “This is a big pro-ject for the high school.”

Phase 3 includes a completerenovation of the interior of thesouth building, similar to whatwas completed in the north build-ing about five years ago duringphase1.

Phase 2, which is wrapping upnow, included a new exterior fa-cade and roof on the south build-ing.

District Facilities DirectorJerry Wissman said the biggestdifference between phase 1 andphase 3 is that unlike in phase 1,where the north building wascompletely gutted, the work inphase3won’t includemanystruc-tural changes.

“So basically where you see a

wall now, there will still be a wallafter the project,”Wissman said.

The only structural changesthat may occur are in the officespaces on the first floor of thebuilding, Wissman said.

The renovation will includenew flooring, ceiling tiles, paint,more technology in classroomsandtheadditionofanew,hopeful-ly geo-thermal, HVAC system,giving the south building some-thing it’s never had before, airconditioning, Wissman said.

FORTTHOMAS—FortThomasstaff is working to make im-provements at one of the city’smost used amenities, the dogpark at Highland Hills Park.

General Services DirectorRonDill said the10-year-old park

is located mostly on a hillside,which has caused some erosionissues that the city has takensteps to remedy.

“The dog park is one of ourmost used facilities because it isused pretty much year-round,”Dill said. “Between the fact thatit is located on a hillside and thatit gets a lot of use, which causes

the grass to wear away, we havehad a lot of issues with erosion.”

Dill said recently city staffdealt with an erosion build upthat had formed along the park’sfence-line, damaging the fenceand causing trees in the area todie.

“The punishments arethere, but because of ef-forts to reduce the jail pop-ulation traffickers are get-ting right back out,” Col-lins said.

Collins said in Newport,since so many offendersaren’t serving full sen-tences, the department hasbeen focusing on propertyseizures as a way to detercriminals.

Jones said while hethinks more rehabilitationis needed for addicts, heagreed that stricter sen-tences for traffickers areimportant.

“People selling heroinare making a fortune onthe demise of others, andwhat they’re doing to thesepeople is horrendous,”Jones said. “I’ve alwaysbelieved that there arepeople that donot belong insociety and people that aretrafficking heroin do notbelong.”

each classroom.Another part of the

project includes the addi-tion of a small, 18-20 spotparking lot by the drive-way loop in front of thebuilding.

Kirchner said the dis-trict currently has thebond capacity to fund al-most$3millionof thepro-

ject,meaning itwill be upto the Fort Thomas Edu-cation Foundation, whichalready raised more than$7.8 million for the otherphases of the project, tocome up with money tofund the remainder.

Wissman said if all thefunding is in place, theproject should breakground this summer.

There is currently noestimate on how long theproject will take becauseit depends on whether or

not the project can becompleted consecutive-ly.

Wissman said whenphase 1 was completed,there were fewer stu-dents at the high school,which now has an atten-dance rate of almost 900students, and so it waseasier to vacant spacesby moving studentsaround.

“Phase three will takecare of the rest of thema-jor academic spaces, but

there will still be morework to do,” Wissmansaid.

While a partnershipwith the athletic boostersallowed the district to re-cently renovate rest-rooms and replace thefloor in the school’s gym-nasium,morework is stillneeded in that part of theschool, Wissman said.

However, he said thenext big facilities projectthe district will likely bedoingwill be atMoyer El-ementary School or John-son Elementary School,which are both consid-ered to be category fiveschools by the state,meaning theyare ingreatneed of renovation or re-placement.

Frequent dog park us-er Taylor Bray, whobrings her dog Tinker-bell to the park almostevery day, said she lovesthe park and is happy tosee the city working tofix it up.

“A lot of people in thiscity have dogs, so it’sgreat that we have thispark to bring them to,”Bray said.

Along with fixing thefence and removing thedead trees, the city in-stalled a drainage swaleof creek rock and put apipe under the fence tohelp control the issue.

Dill said they alsobuilt a small retainingwall, which not onlyhelps control the drain-

Currently, Dill said heis working with a localEagle Scout who is plan-ning a project to build ashade shelter in the park.

In the future, Dill saidhe hopes to extend thepark’s water source, cur-rently located outside ofthe fenced in area, insidethe fence, making itmore convenient for us-ers.

Long-term goals forthe park also includefinding away tomaintain

vegetation in the area.“We are looking at

maybe blocking off asmall area at a time to letthe vegetation growback, but it’s not a hugepark, so that may behard,” Dill said.

Dill said he is current-ly looking into putting to-gether a panel of citizensto help identify issuesand needs in all of thecity’s parks, includingthe dog park.

Voters will choose one ofthree candidates to takeover theDistrictTwoCamp-bell County Schools Boardof Education seat for thenext four years as incum-bent Susan Fangman optednot to file for re-election.

Cold Spring residentsGary Combs, Nicole Whit-ney Ponting, and Tricia To-bergte are the three candi-dates vying for the seat.

Ponting, 39, a schoolspeech pathologist for For-est Hills Local Schools inAnderson Township for 15years, said she has threechildren inCampbellCoun-

ty Schools and has beenvery active in the district.Ponting said she spent timeon the Parent Teacher Or-ganizationatClineElemen-tary School, andhas servedfor the past two years onCline’s Site BasedDecisionMaking Council.

Ponting said she grewup attending school at ahigh-achieving district inFort Thomas, works at ahigh-achieving district,and wants to make sureCampbell County con-tinues to grow and havebetter things happening.

“Campbell has grown somuch in the last five years,academically, athletically,just all around, and it's justexciting to be a part of it,”she said.

Ponting said she is also aspeech pathologist at St.Elizabeth Healthcare, andher work and children giveher a balanced perspectiveon the district.

“Specialeducation ismybackground, and I have agifted child, one that's in

the arts, and one that's inathletics,” she said. “So, Ifeel I would represent allthe whole, all the kids, in afair manner.”

Ponting said she wantsto continue to recruit andkeep quality teachers, andmake sure they have thetools they need to supportthe learning styles of thefuture.Pontingsaidbeingamemberofthedistrict’sLo-calPlanningCommitteeforthe past year reinforcedher desire to see more im-provements in technology.

Financial issues willcontinue to face the dis-trict, and federal funding islikely tobecut, so theboardwill need to focus on bud-getingandwhat thedistrictneeds the most, Ponting

said.Tobergte, 42, a kinder-

garten teacher at NewportPrimary School, said she isthe parent of four studentsin the district with one inkindergarten and one a highschool senior this year.

“I have13 years of expe-rience as a CC schools par-ent and 12 more to go,” To-bergte said. “I have servedonClineSBDMCouncil andfeel I have the experience,knowledge, and vestedstake in CC Schools to be apositive decision-maker inour schools.”

Tobergte said she hastaught for11years, and hasbeen a computer resourceteacher and library mediaspecialist.

Tobergte saidhergoal istocontinueCampbellCoun-ty’s exceptional academicprogress, provide studentswith opportunities forgrowth , and create a placeparents are proud to call“Our Schools.”

Tobergte said the mainissue in the race is to take

politics out of the schoolsystemandput the focusonwhat is best for the chil-dren.

“The voters should casttheir vote for me becauseof my experience as an in-volved parent, knowledgeof the education process asa teacher in another dis-trict, and as a person whohas a long term vested in-terest in the CampbellCounty schools at all lev-els,” she said.

GaryCombs, 49, resignedfrom the district three boardseat Sept. 15, 2011. Combs,who served on the board foreight years, said his experi-ence including being on theboard for nine years previ-ously, is a plus.

"I love being on theschool board," Combs said.

Combs is a site directorfor a virtual high school inOhio, and has worked as ateacher and administratorat public elementary andhigh schools and was alsopreviously an SBDMmem-ber in Campbell County

Schools.The board had a lot to do

with raising test scoresduring his tenure by exam-ining test results and ap-proving finances support-ingtheteachersandadmin-istrators, he said.

Combs said his goal forthedistrict is tocontinue im-proving the district's statusand ranking in the state.

"I noticed that we're upthereprettyhigh this year,"he said. "I think we're 12thin the state."

Combs said the athleticstadium and area technol-ogy center being built atthe high school are goodthings the board needs tocontinue to follow-up onand finish.

"The board that was inplace when I came offworked well together andmade a lot of strides tomake itaunifiedboard,andI just want to keep it thatway," he said.

Retired teacher and in-cumbent Campbell Coun-tySchoolsBoardofEduca-tion member Rich Masonis being challenged in theNov. 6 electionbyattorneyEllen Longshore for theDistrict Five seat.

Mason, of Fisher Roadin California, has servedeight years on the board,and taught at every gradelevel during a 27-yearteaching career.

Mason said the districtstill faces important is-sues, and his experiencemakes him the best candi-date.

Mason said his goals in-clude helping the districttransition to a new set oftesting standards by con-tinuing to help prepareteachers, staff and stu-dents to meet the newchallenges by looking atbetter ways to teach andlearn.

The district’s studentenrollment looks stablefor the next five or sixyears,but theneed is thereto look at improving theexisting facilities whilelooking toward futuregrowthwhen it does come,Mason said.

The district has madesome difficult cuts in thepast several years madenecessary by cuts in statefunding, he said.

“Inspiteof thiswehavemanaged to raise teachersalaries fromnear the bot-tom inNorthernKentuckyinto the top third. At thesame time, in the most re-cent state testing, our stu-dents scored third among

Northern Kentuckyschools and in the top 10percent among all dis-tricts in Kentucky. “

Longshore, ofMadonnaDrive in Alexandria, saidshehasbeena lifelongres-ident of Campbell Countyandhas lived for almost 50years in Claryville. She isa mother of four children,all of whom graduatedfrom Campbell CountyHigh School. She has agranddaughter in Camp-bellCountyMiddleSchool,and a grandson in the highschool. Longshore said sheis semi-retired and prac-ticed law for almost 30years.

Longshore said hermain issues are to lowertaxes, encourage respon-sible spending and pro-moting conservative prin-ciples.

“As a senior citizen, Iam concerned aboutmanyseniors losing their homesor having real financialstruggles paying taxes ontheir property,” she said.

Longshore said shewants to keep money onreserve andnot spend “ev-ery dime” of tax money toget the district’s financialhouse in order .

Conservative princi-ples mean reviewing stu-dents’ curriculum and im-plementing studies con-cerning “real Americanhistory,” she said.

“This would help stu-dents become better, loyalcitizens,” Longshore said.

Longshore said shewants to promote voca-tional studies because notall students want or needtogo tocollegeandrackuphuge loans.

Incumbents Jerry Gif-ford, Virgil Boruske, CathyLenzVolter, PennyMastru-serio Hurtt and William(Bill) Burns are going upagainst challengers JoeNeary and Robert “Bobby”Allen .

Challenger Allen, whoserved on the council for11years before the currentterm, said he has lived inDayton all his life .

Allen, a retired policeofficer in the city, said hisgoals include keeping tax-es low by working to getstate and federal grants,working to develop the riv-erfront and creating moreamenities for the youth inthe city.

“I’m worried to deathabout the kids around hereand the stuff they’re get-ting in to,” Allen said. “Weneed to help them outsomehow instead of argu-ing with each other.”

Burns, who has been onthe council for about twoyears, said he feels his jobin the city is not completeand that some residentsasked him to run again.

“I plan to do this as longas I feel I can and the citi-zens would want me to,”Burns said.

Burns said his goals in-clude completing the river-front development, main-tainingthe levelofservicesin the city and keeping tax-es low.

Gifford,who hasservedthree two-year termson the coun-cil and hasserved onthe city’spark board,said he is

running again because hecares about the city andthinks the current group ofcouncil members workwell together.

“I feel like ifyou live inacommunity, it’s your obli-gation to try to make it abetter place,” Gifford said.

Gifford saidhisgoals in-clude completing the flood-wall development and fix-ing up Main Street .

Hurtt, who has been onthe council for eight years,said there is a lot of unfin-ished business in regardsto projects and programsthat she would like to seethrough.

“I feel like I am a repre-sentative or a good crosssection of our city,” Hurttsaid. “I want to rebuild ourneighborhoods and in-crease our sense of com-munity.”

Hurtt said her goals in-clude to have more familyevents and to get out intothe community and talkwith residents to addressissues and solutions.

Neary, who has beenvolunteering in the city foryears, said as someonewhois not a native ofDayton, hefeels he has a lot he can of-fer the council, includingan outsider’s view.

Neary said his goals in-clude using outside re-sources to improve thecity,working with neighboringcities, attracting morebusinesses and residentsandsupportingandencour-aging volunteers in thecommunity.

“There are a lot of goodpeople here who reallycare about this city,”Nearysaid. “I see a lot of potentialfor the future of Dayton,and I think themain thing Icanbringto thecitycouncilis a positive attitude.”

Volter, who has servedeight two-year termson thecouncil, said she is runningagain because she hasmore things she’d like toaddress in the city.

Volter said she hopes towork to combat drug abusein the area, improve the lo-cal school system and en-hance development in thecity.

“I think I still haveworkto do to improve life for ev-eryone in our community,”Volter said.

This November, fivechallengers will go upagainst three incumbentsfor six seats on the High-land Heights City Council.

Candidates AJ Moer-mond, Dirk Glahn, ReneHeinrich, Larry Herfurthand Paul Carver Jr. are

challenging current coun-cil members Gary Chinn,Jeanne Pettit and DeborahBall .

Incumbent Ball, whohasbeenservingoncouncilfor about four years, saidshewants to stayoncounciltoensure theykeepmovingforward with their newlyadopted code enforcementordinance.

“My big push when Ifirst ran for council was tosee that something wasdone about our city’s disin-tegrating property val-ues,” Ball said.

Ball said her other goalsincluded maintaining whatthe city has and the ser-vices they offer whileworking to keep taxes low.

Challenger Carver, whohas lived in HighlandHeights most of his life,said he would like to serveon council to ensure that itstays up to datewithwhat’sgoingon in thecityandedu-cate residents on what thecouncil does and does nothave control over.

Carver said ifmore peo-ple were educated aboutwhat the council can andcan’t control, they wouldhavemore time to focus onkeeping the city runningsmoothly and keeping tax-es low.

Incumbent Gary Chinn,who has been on councilabout six years, said hethinks the city is heading inthe right direction .

Chinn said he wants tocontinue working to im-prove distressed proper-ties and bring more devel-opment to the city throughthe growth of NorthernKentucky University.

Challenger Dirk Glahn,who has lived in the city hiswhole life and alwaystalked about being on citycouncil, said he decided torun after seeing the lack ofcandidates signed up torun.

Glahn said hewould liketo see the city continue itsworking partnership withNKU and local businesses.

Challenger Rene Hein-rich, who served on thecouncil in 2007 and 2008,and also served on thecity’s planning and zoningboard, said she decided torun again because the tim-ing is right for her person-ally, and she feels the coun-cil needs her input and ex-perience since several

long-time council mem-bers aren’t running for re-election.

“I’m tired of the rentalproperty eyesores, the in-crease in crime, and thefact that I’m raising mykids potentially next to astrip mall instead of a citywith a heart,” Heinrichsaid.

Heinrich said sinceHighlandHeights is chang-ing, residents and councilneed to decidewhat kind oftown itwill be in the next10years.

Challenger Larry Her-furth, who has lived in thecity about 16 years andserved on the appealsboard and police authorityboard, said he is runningfor council togivebackandmake sure that things aregoing in the right direction.

Herfurth said he wouldlike tomake sure the city ismanaged well and con-tinues to run in the black.

Challenger AJ Moer-mond, who grew up inHighlandHeights, saidhe’sbeen thinking about run-ning for council for a whileand wants to make the citybetter for everyone.

Moermond said if elect-ed, heplans to keepanopenmindand listen to the ideas,proposals and interests ofthe residents.

Incumbent Jeanne Pet-tit, who served on the coun-cil for one term from 2005-2006 and is again servingon the current term, saidsheenjoysbeingpart of thecouncil andhelping thecitymove forward.

Pettit said she hopes tocontinue updating thecity’s ordinances and meetthe city’s changing needswith the addition of severalrental properties.

FORT THOMAS — The faculty,staff and students at St. Cather-ine of Siena School are seeingdouble.

This year, the school of a littlemore than 150 students has sixsets of twins ranging from firstgrade to seventh grade.

“We had three sets of twinsjoin us this year,” said PrincipalDoug Lonneman. “This is themost twins we’ve had here at onetime.”

Lonneman said in the case oftwins who are in grades werethere is more than one class fortheir grade, the school gives par-ents the option of whether or notto have the siblings in the same

class.Most of the time, Lonneman

said, the parents decide to keepthe twins together, which givesfaculty and staff a chance to seethe bond the twins have and howit changes over the years.

“Sometimes you’ll see that ifone twin gets upset, the other onegets upset too,” Lonneman said.

In some instances, like withthe second-grade Kohler twins,they are rarely more than twofeet away from each other, Lon-neman said, but with the oldertwins, you can see them start togain some independence fromeach other through the years.

Seventh-grader Erika Owens,who is in the same class as hertwinRachel, said the twoareveryclose and she enjoys being in

class with her.Second-grader Abigail Kohler

said she and her twin Olivia arealways looking out for each otherand helping each other.

Like the Owens and Kohlertwins, fifth-grader Lily Bodensaid one of the best parts abouthaving her twin Madeline in thesame class, is being able to helpeach other with school work.

“It’s great because we studytogether, and if one of us forgetssomething for ourhomework, theother one has it,” Boden said.

Catherine Ampfer, theschool’s technology coordinator,said they are expecting anotherset of twins to start school at St.Catherinenextyear,whichwouldbring the total number of sets oftwins to seven.

The Northern KentuckyEducation Council will againcelebrate the importance ofpostsecondary education dur-ing the region’s celebration ofAmerican Education Week,Nov. 12-16, with the annual “IKnow I Can” reading program.

In 2011, more than 1,600 sec-ond-grade students throughoutthe Northern Kentucky regionwere introduced to the idea ofpostsecondary educationthrough an interactive storyentitled “I Know I Can,” whichuses puppets and lesson plansto engage children’s interest.Thestorycarriesaspecialmes-sage to young students andteaches the importance ofpreparation and education inorder to fulfill future dreams.

Positive role models includ-ing parents, community lead-ers and business partners areneeded to read the story toclassrooms, motivating stu-dents to set goals and learnhowto prepare for and pursue high-er education.

Readers will discuss how

education was important intheir careers. Each student re-ceives a sticker on which theycomplete the sentence “I knowI can be a…” and a letter to takehometo theirparents toexplainthe program.

The Northern KentuckyEducation Council serves asthe overarching organizationfor the alignment of educationinitiatives that supportourpop-ulation from birth to career.The council believes the IKnow I Can campaign will in-troduce the idea of college tochildren at a young age, andserve as a catalyst to increaseawareness and generate inter-est in opportunities available tostudents that pursue postsec-ondary education.

The time commitment forthis one-time event is 30-60minutes per volunteer. If youwould like to participate as avolunteer reader for the “IKnowICan”campaign, contactNancy Costello at the NorthernKentucky Education [email protected] or 859-282-9214.

BELLEVUE—Children are theonly ones walking the halls ofGrandview Elementary Schoolthese days.

Theschool recentlybegantak-ing part in the Learners Experi-encing Animals and Stories inHarmony (LEASH) reading pro-gram, which gives students achance to practice their readingskills by reading to a dog.

Debbie Langguth, the school’smediaspecialist, said throughtheprogram,volunteers fromThera-py Dogs International come in tothe school one or two times aweek and give the children achance to read to their dog.

Langguth said while everyfirst-grader will get to read to adog throughout the year, the fo-cus of the program is on studentswho are struggling with readingor lack confidence in their read-ing abilities, giving them achance to read to a dog in a smallsetting with just the dog and itstrainer.

“Dogs are non-judgmental, sosometimes it’seasier forstudentsto read to them than to anotherperson,”Langguth said. “This is away for students to build confi-

dence and self-esteem in a funway.”

Langguth said the programstarted a couple weeks ago andhas already been a huge success.

The students are all really ex-cited about the program and lookforward to the days the trainersand their dogs visit, Langguthsaid.

“This is just a wonderful op-portunity forourstudents tohavemore time for reading for enjoy-ment,” said Principal Jamie Bak-

er. “We are looking forward towatching our students grow andfurther develop their readingskills.”

Langguth said since the pro-gram has worked out so well al-ready, she hopes that Grandviewwill be able to continue it in fu-ture school years.

Here is a look at the standingsand scenarios heading into the fi-nal week of district games.Here’s the yearly disclaimer: Atwo-way tie is broken by head-to-head result. A three-way tie in-volvesstrengthofvictory,addingup the win totals of the best fourteams you have beaten who arenot also in the tie. District gamescan count.

6A: Campbell County 3-0,5-3; Simon Kenton 2-2, 7-2; Ryle1-2, 3-5; Boone County 1-2, 1-7;Dixie Heights 1-2, 2-6.

Campbell County has won thedistrict title. The two seedwill ei-ther be won by SK or Dixie. IfBoone beats Campbell, SK easilywins a three-way tie for second.The fifth seed will move to Dis-trict 2 in the brackets and will

play a western Louisville schoolfromDistrict 3 in the first round.The other four will play District8, one of the Lexington group-ings. Boone plays Campbell andRyle plays Dixie this week. Hereare the scenarios:

Campbell and Ryle win: SK isthe two, Ryle three, Boone four,Dixie five.

Campbell andDixiewin:Dixieis two, SK three,Ryle four, Boonefive.

Boone and Ryle win: SK is two

and Dixie five. Ryle would havenine points and Boone seven in-cluding their Oct. 19 wins andboth teams play teams with 8-0records in their final games.

BooneandDixiewin:SKis twoand Ryle five. Dixie would havenine points andBoone five count-ing their Oct. 19wins. Dixie playsCooper (7-1) in the final gameandBoone plays John Hardin (8-0).

Cooper and Conner win: Coop-er, Conner and SouthOldhamwilltie for first and that tiebreakercould go down to the final snapson Oct. 26. All three teams wouldbewithina fewpointsofeachoth-er following play on Oct. 19 withSouth Oldham likely to be lead-ing.

Cooper and Scott win: Cooperwins, Scott is third and Connerfourth.

Grant and Conner win: SouthOldham wins, Conner is second,Cooper third and Scott fourth.

Grant and Scott win: SouthOldham wins. Conner, Cooperand Scott would tie for second,withCooperhavinganedge in thetiebreaker because the Jagscould count their win over SouthOldham.

FT. THOMAS — For the firsttime since 2004, the HighlandsHigh School volleyball team is adistrict champion. The Blue-birdsclaimedthe36thDistrict ti-tlebydefeatingNewportCentralCatholic ina three-set sweepOct.10.The teamhascomea longwaysince enduring an 11-match los-ing streak in the middle of theseason.

“We’ve had an up and downyear,” said head coach WhitneyMulroney. “We’ve had greatchemistryallyearandwealwaysexpected that we could strive to(win the district.)”

At 12-22 entering the postsea-son, the Bluebirds were not thefavorite to win the district. Anopening-round win over Belle-vue gave Highlands confidenceheading into the title match with

NewCath.TheBluebirdshad lostto the Thoroughbreds in the dis-trict tournament each of the pastseven seasons. NewCath had notlost a district match since the2004 championship loss to High-lands. After defeating NewCath,25-22, 26-24, 25-20, theBluebirds’confidence is at its highest point.

“They know they can beatgood teams,” said Mulroney.“They’re good enough to beatanybody when they put theirminds to it and go after everyball.”

A last-minute tweak to thelineup paid big dividends for theBluebirds. Sophomore outsidehitter Jessica Ginter moved tothe middle to replace an ailingMallory Seidel. Her presence inthe middle of the court helpedthe Bluebirds advance.

“We made a dramatic lineupchange due to illness and thegirls just rolled with it,” said

Mulroney.Ginter earned 36th District

Most Valuable Player honors.Sophomore Kaitlin Hall con-tinues to develop at setter and isplaying with more confidencenow, said Mulroney. Seniors Sa-rah Schweitzer and Katie VanCuren joined Ginter on the All-Tournament team. Van Curen,the libero and captain of thesquad, missed most of last sea-son with a thumb injury. She isplaying her senior season with asense of urgency.

“She became a vocal leader,”said Mulroney. “She is alwayspushing the girls and herself.”

The five seniors on this year’steamhave come through thepro-gram during Mulroney’s fourseasons at the helm. The groupshares a bond with their coach,despite this being the first full-time varsity season for most ofthe five. They realize the signif-

icance of their accomplishmentand were overjoyed by the thrillof knocking off the Thorough-breds and bringing the districtchampionship back to FortThomas.

“I think they understand thatHighlands volleyball has taken aleap,” saidMulroney. “I’ve neverseenthesegirlsoncloudnine likethey were on Wednesday.”

After years of playing in the10th Region, this marks the firstseason of Ninth Region play forHighlands. The Ninth Regiontournament began Oct. 17 at St.Henry. The Bluebirds facedCooper in their opening match,after deadline. Having perse-vered through the adversity ofthis season so far, the Bluebirdsenter the regional tournamentwith confidence.

“We are really playing thebestwe can right now,” saidMul-roney.

A publication of

A12 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • OCTOBER 18, 2012

As a lifelong bookworm/nerd, I feelcompelled to respond to Charlie Cole-man’s guest column entitled “Libraryboard is deceiving voters.” I would liketo address a few of his concerns, andthen explain why, despite these ob-

jections, the libraryshould become areality.

First, Colemancomplains manytimes during the

course of his article about the fact thatthe library board is “not elected.” It ismy understanding that the vast major-ity of boards that serve this communi-ty are not elected, at least not by thepeople in general on a ballot. Rather,they are appointed, often by the mayoror the judge executive.

Two boards, the library board andthe fire board, have the ability to levya tax. This is apparently the stickingpoint to a number of people (no tax-ation without representation, etc.).Since the library initiative is going onthe ballot so it can be voted on, thatcomplaint has already been dealt with,so we can move on.

Secondly, the number bandiedabout, “27 percent tax hike,” is mis-leading. Yes, it is 27 percent, but itactually amounts to a two cent per$100 valuation increase, which is rath-er modest. It would be like protestingthat the price of bubble gum was goingup 100 percent, when it is only going tocost the consumer a penny more (fromthe price of one cent to two cents).

The percentage is true, but does notgive an accurate picture of what theconsumer will pay in additional costs.A better example of the actual cost to areal person would be to point out thatthe owner of a $150,000 house wouldpay an additional $30 a year, or 39cents a day. I can’t think of anythingapproaching the advantages of a li-

brary that can be had for 39 cents aday.

Contrary to Coleman’s findings thatusage of the libraries is declining, Ican only observe that as someone whouses the library constantly, it is morecrowded every time I go; sometimes Ican barely find a parking space. Partof the increased usage comes from themany people who can’t afford personalcomputers doing research and home-work at the library, and working onresumes in order to find employment.

Yes, there are people rentingmovies and CDs, but these are validforms of family entertainment that noteveryone can afford. Many of us alsouse the original book-borrowing func-tion of the library, and I can tell youfrom personal experience that thewaiting list for new books gets longerand longer; it usually takes me threemonths to get a book I really want.

In addition, there are reading pro-grams for children, especially to keepthem engaged during the summer, andmany libraries offer classes and bookclubs for citizens. The proposed li-brary will be very close to severalschools, churches, and subdivisions,providing invaluable services to theseorganizations and individuals.

Coleman, many of us southernCampbell Countians do no live “fivemiles from Cold Spring.” For many ofus, it’s close to a half-hour trek, andsince we pay taxes too, we would likeoccasionally to reap some benefitsfrom paying said taxes.

There are simply many more rea-sons for having a library in a commu-nity than there are for rejecting one,particularly at a cost of 39 cents a day.Let’s improve our community for dec-ades to come and vote “yes” for thenew library.

Against tax increaseDid I read JC Morgan

right? Giving ultimatumsand threats of reduced ser-vices and possible closuresif we don’t pass this 27 per-cent tax increase?

To the good people ofCampbell County; the taxincreases for this pipedream of building the big-gest “blockbuster videostore” in the county will notstop with this increase. It isclear to me that JC Morganand the library board willuse this tactic every time toget additional money.

Here is another proposalfor JC Morgan and the li-brary board – sell the prop-erty that you should nothave purchased from thestart. This will give the oth-er libraries all the fundingthey need to service every-one in Campbell County.

Stop them from wastingour hard earned money un-til theycanprove theyknowhow to spend it responsibly.We do not need another li-brary at this time.

Vote against the 27 per-cent increase.

Surprised by councilI understand that Alex-

andria’s City Council haspassed a motion in supportof theanti-librarytaxmove-ment. Do these councilmembers know what theyare doing? When the citi-zens approve the two centtax to provide a library inthe Alexandria area, howwill City Council reconciletheir anti-library action?

To add insult to injury,the council members prob-ably weren’t aware that inthe1970s theCityofAlexan-dria supported a branch li-brary in the lower level ofits city building. I remem-ber using the library thenand observing the manyparents and children whovisited it.

For many decades thecitizens in southern half ofthe county have desired anearby library. The stu-

dents of over five publicand five private schools inthat area could really bene-fit by it. And Alexandria’sCity Council opposes them?I hope that the City Councilreverses their “anti” li-brary action – at least be-fore they’re up for re-elec-tion. Call Alexandria CityCouncil now.

Library taxI am a member of the

Board of Trustees for theCampbell County Public Li-brary. I offer this editorialto explain why I sought tojoin theboardandwhyIvot-ed in favor of increasing thead valorem tax rate on realproperty for the purposesof maintaining and improv-ing library services at theexisting threebranches andfor establishing a fourthbranch of the library. Mydecision to vote in favor ofthe tax increase was noteasy. I thought about it,weighing the benefits anddetriments of increasingthe tax rate, for manymonths.

I applied to join theboardbecause I love and re-spect libraries. Public li-braries serve as a strongfoundation of our personaland political liberty. Librar-ies collect and lend materi-als (books and other media)that, inter alia, preservehistory, help us learn how tolive healthier,more produc-tive and more prosperouslives and help us make bet-ter decision for tomorrow.

Children can learn toread with materials bor-rowed from a library. Stu-dents of all ages can learnabout almost anything hu-mans have (legally) imag-ined at a library. All visitorscan find a book or a maga-zine to relaxwith and enjoy.The collection is not cen-sored for religious or politi-cal preference.

A professional librarianwill assist anyone who askswith finding materials thatwill answer their question.A patron canwalk out of thelibrary with an arm full ofbooks and other materialsfor the price of a free li-brary card. Modern librar-ies also offer a wealth ofother services including ac-cess to computers and theinformation availablethrough the Internet.

Access to a public li-brary is a desirable andtreasured asset for everycommunity. The residentsof southernCampbellCoun-tydeservebetteraccess toamodern pubic library.

WhenI joined theboard Iwas amazed to learn thesmall amount of money thelibrary collects and spendsto provide high quality, pro-fessional services to theresidents of Campbell

County. The library’s bud-get to operate, maintain thecollection and staff threebranches seven days perweek has been around $4.5million per year during myservice on the board. Theboard intends to exercisethe same fiscal restraintwith respect to the fourthbranch. However, buildingand operating a fourthbranch will require an in-crease in the library’s annu-al budget.

A group of people haveargued vehemently againstthe increase in the ad valo-rem tax rate. They have ar-gued that the economy istoo bad, the un-electedboard has lied and that li-braries are becoming obso-lete. Those opposed to thetax increase offered no evi-dence to the board, or anymember of the board, tosupport any of their argu-ments. They never sought aconstructive dialogue. Ac-cordingly, I found them dis-ingenuous, disrespectfuland not persuasive.

I hope you will vote fortheboard’s efforts to build anew branch library for ourneighbors who live south ofAlexandria.

Steven TrumboAlexandria

Support the libraryI recently read in this pa-

per an anti-library tax com-mentary whose writer la-mented the $1,049,156 thathis research shows this taxraising. This amounts toabout $11.54 per person inour county – about the costof two cheap paperbackbooks. For that, we get an-other center to offer unlim-ited access to a wide arrayof resources; a safe placefor our children; a host ofprograms offered by a pro-fessional staff; free accessto the Internet; a freemoviecheck-out program; andvarious other services thatgreatly benefit our commu-nity. It’s a bargain that anyone of us who reads, haschildren, watches videos,listens tomusic, playsvideogames, does research,spends time with people, oraccesses the Internetwouldgladly pay for if they knewabout it.

For those of us who can’tafford such things, it’s anabsolute godsend. Somewould liken libraries to a“wagon wheel,” but there isno automated resource ca-pable of offering the humantouch and community bene-fit, much less the equal ac-cess, that can be foundthere. Suchcomments showeither an ignorance of boththe Internet and the “li-brary” concept or outrightdisingenuousness. Surely,we’re better people thanthat!

What builds a community? How doyou know when you belong to one?Why even care? Although many at-tempt to make the answers complex –the answers to the above questionsare quite simple. Why care? All re-search shows that children and adultsthrive in situations where they feelpart of something. Those who feel

they “belong” arehealthier, happier andmore productive(however defined).

How do you knowyou are part of acommunity? Againsimple. A communityexists when an indi-vidual “feels” theyare part of somethinggreater than himselfor herself. The wholeis greater than the

sum of its parts. Based in selflessness,it is where you think of yourself lessand others more. A community existswhen the “overall good” becomes asimportant if not more important thanthe individual good.

What builds a community? As may-or of the city of Cold Spring, I amvery fortunate to have the criticalbuilding blocks of community withinour city limits. Safety and health areof primary importance and we havefabulous fire and police departmentsas well as quality medical services. Avast array of shops and businessesfulfill our daily needs. Educationalresources are vital and our communi-ty has four outstanding contributorsto the education of our community: St.Joseph, Cline and Crossroads ele-mentary schools and the CampbellCounty Public Library. The elemen-tary schools provide excellent educa-tion for our children and our library

provides vast and diverse educationover many spectrums for every mem-ber of our community.

Based in its historical foundation,our (your) library provides education-al resources that complement andenhance traditional education. It alsois a source and stimulation of educa-tion that a traditional educationalsetting simply does not have the time,resources or purpose to provide. Ourlibrary provides pre preschool read-ing, topical reading, programs andmaterials to stimulate education aboutour life and environment around us.The library helps educate us on howto find employment or better employ-ment as well as how to help andstrengthen our families. It providesforums for educational and topicalexperts to reach out to us in a waythat would otherwise be impossible orimpractical from a resource and costperspective all provided in a safe,clean, convenient and low cost man-ner.

It is important to note that all ofthe essential elements to build astrong community were in place inCold Spring before our communitybegan to grow and blossom. The fore-sight and advance investment byforward thinking community focusedindividuals laid the foundation forCold Spring to become the wonderfulcommunity it is. We are very indebtedto those before us.

What builds a community? “It’sthat wonderful old-fashioned idea thatothers come first and you come sec-ond. This was the whole ethic bywhich I was brought up. Others mat-ter more than you do, so don’t fuss,dear; get on with it.” - Audrey Hep-burn.

Team spirit was abundantOct. 6 when nearly 800Northern Kentucky YouthFootball League cheer-

leaders from across Boone,Kenton and Campbell countiesflocked to Cooper High School inUnion for the annual NKYFLCheer Competition.

Families with flowers for thecompetitors, football players intheir jerseys and, of course,cheerleaders of all ages filledthe cafeteria, hallways and gymof the high school, excitementfor the competition palpable.

The competition was hostedby the South Kenton NittanyLions.

Besides cheering for games,South Kenton Cheer DirectorPam Robbins of Independencesaid this is the one competitionthe cheerleaders have.

Robbins gets emotional talk-ing about the girls’ preparationfor the competition.

“Just to see all the goals theyset for themselves and for thisday and they bring all thosegoals and get them accom-plished here. That’s what makesit all worthwhile,” she said,tearing up. “It makes me emo-tional talking about it becausethat’s what it’s for. It’s for thekids.”

The cheerleaders, who rangefrom spirit squad (ages 3-5) toseniors (ages 11-13), work hardthroughout the season. It’s some-times overwhelming and frus-trating, “but today is what it’s allabout,” Robbins said. “Becausethis is what they work for.”

Robbins, who has four daugh-ters – three of whom are cheer-leaders in the organization andone who’s an assistant coach –has been involved with theNKYFL for seven years.

Cheering, she said, helps thegirls participating build rela-tionships and teaches skills thatmay prepare them for the mid-dle and high school levels whilealso building self-esteem andboosting their confidence.

That’s something Robbinssaid she really pushes.

“We’re here to build themup,” she said.

According to Robbins, prep-arations for the competition,which is typically in October,

begins in July."Just to see their smile and

the glisten on their face makes itall worthwhile,” she said. “Ifthat build falls, that’s OK. Youget up and you build again. Youdon’t just let it fall and leave it.That’s a life lesson in itself, Ithink. You don’t just let it go.You learn from that fall and youbuild it back up and you make itbetter and that’s what they do.”

Mary Jane Lewis of Bridge-town, Ohio, was there watchingher granddaughter BrooklynLay, 6, of Wilder perform with

the Red Devils spirit team.“I thought it was great having

all the teams compete and thespirit that they showed,” shesaid. “It was a lot of fun. I foundmyself taking pictures of allkinds of teams. It was just socute.”

Brooklyn said she had funperforming.

“Howmuch fun?” her grand-mother asked her.

“A lot.”Activities like cheerleading

provide “a really good base,”Lewis said.

“I think it instills a goodsense of community, a goodsense of staying active.”

This was Brooklyn’s firstseason cheering, her motherKashmir Stern of Wilder said.“But she’s made her way rightin. I think we’ll be doing it everyseason now.”

Her daughter loves the sportand from the looks of it, she’snot the only one.

"Every girl loves it,” Sternsaid. “You can see every girl onthe floor is happy. They’re allsmiling. They’re going with theflow of everything. Everyone isenjoying it.”

Melissa Fultz of Hebron, thepidget (ages 8-9) coach for theErlanger Lions, said it’s taken alot of sweat, tears and dedica-tion to get to the October compe-tition.

Squad member Selena Rive-ros, 9, of Erlanger, said she wasexcited and nervous.

“Her nerves are shot rightnow, but we’re working throughthat,” Fultz said shortly beforecompeting. “I told her to visu-alize us being in the gym and noone else is around but her coach-es.”

“We’re really excited andanxious to rock the floor,” Fultzsaid.

OCTOBER 18, 2012 • CCF RECORDER • B3LIFE

I knew I could count onmy readers to come to therescue for finding recipesfor “emergency cake” thatone of our readers remem-bered fondly from hergrandma.

Jane H. found one thatGale Gand made on thefood network. Gale’s reci-pe is on my blog “Cookingwith Rita” at Cincinnati-

.com.Dawn F.

sent in onefrom hergrand-mother.Dawn saidher grand-mothercalled it“quickcake” andDawn’s

recipe is similar to the oneI’m sharing today. Dawn’sgrandma’s name was EllaMae Ramsey. “But to meshe was Mamaw,” Ramseysaid.

Now I found my recipein a circa 1924-28 woodenbox, which had printed ingold on the front “GoldMedal Home ServiceRecipes.” The box con-tains all the original reci-pe cards and was sent tome, again, by a readerseveral years ago. I alsohave a very cool recipealuminum framed “note-book” called “BalancedRecipes” from Pillsburyfrom1933. And thanks tomy sister, Madelyn, whoshops at what she calls“the better gift stores”thrift stores, I have sever-al vintage recipe boxeswith recipes and cook-books.

While we’re on thesubject of vintage every-thing, check out BrynMooth’s “writes4food”blog at Cincinnati.com.Bryn is sharing vintagerecipes from her “Claraproject.”

Rita’s emergencycake

This is my adaptationof a really good tasting,simple cake. I guess that’swhy it’s called “emergen-cy” cake. Though the

recipe indicated it couldbe eaten with a broiledicing or even withouticing, I just iced it with asimple confectioner’ssugar glaze: 1 cup confec-tioners’ sugar flavoredwith a teaspoon of vanillaand enough water (a table-spoon or so) to thin out.

12⁄3 cups all-purpose flour1 cup sugar¼ teaspoon salt2½ teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄3 cup unsalted butter,softened (can also useshortening, which theoriginal recipe called for)

2⁄3 cupmilk (not too cold)1 large egg, lightly beaten

1½ teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk flour,sugar, salt and bakingpowder together. Addbutter, milk, egg and vanil-la, and beat until blended,about 3 minutes. Pour intosprayed 8-inch to 9-inchbaking pan. Bake 25-30minutes. Mine was done in25. When toothpick in-serted in center comes outclean, cake is done. Don’tover bake.

Caesar saladdressing withroasted garlic

Preheat oven to 400degrees. On a cuttingboard, using a sharp knife,slice about a½ inch off the

top of the head of garlic,exposing the individualcloves. Set the head on asquare of foil, and sprin-kle with a tablespoon ofwater. Pinch together theedges of the foil to createa packet. Roast for 45minutes. Unwrap and letcool slightly beforesqueezing the pulp fromthe cloves. In the bowl of afood processor or blender,combine the roasted garlicpulp, yogurt, cheese, oil,lemon juice, vinegar, mus-tard and anchovies. Proc-ess until smooth.

fruit gar-deningareas thisfall. Sever-al disease-causingfungi andbacteriaspend thewinter onplant de-bris, andcan cause

diseases the followinggrowing season.

Proper garden san-itation can combat suchdiseases as early blight,mildews, gray mold fun-gus and various root rotand wilt problems.

To combat diseases,remove all plants, exceptwinter vegetables orcover crops, from the

Question: Should I goahead and rototill thegarden and apply fertiliz-er now for next year’sgarden? I had a lot oftomato and squash prob-lems this year.

Answer: You can re-duce the risk of somecommon problems nextyear by getting rid ofleftover plant debris invegetable, flower and

vegetable garden. It isespecially important tocompletely clean out anddestroy all diseasedplants in vegetable gar-dens and fruit plantings.Carefully dig up andremove decomposingroots to keep them fromreleasing disease-causingmicrobes into the soil.Also, remove spentblooms and foliage fromflower gardens and mum-mified fruits on oraround trees and grape-vines.

Garden debris that isnot severely diseased is awonderful addition to acompost pile. A good pilewill heat up and com-pletely decompose theremains in a few months.

Gardeners who decidenot to remove old plantsshould till gardeningareas this fall to breakdead materials into small-er pieces and then workthem into the soil. Plantdebris decomposes morerapidly when buried thanwhen left on the soil sur-face. This reduces pop-ulations of disease-caus-

ing organisms that couldcause problems nextyear.

Another reason to tillthe garden in the fall is soit is ready to plant in earlyMarch, instead of havingto wait until a rainy springallows plowing or tillingthe garden.

Soil test now to see ifyour garden needs phos-phorus, potassium, lime orsulfur. If so, these couldbe applied in the fall.Don’t apply nitrogen now,since it is easily leachedby rain and melting snowand it might move belowthe root zone by nextspring. However, due tohealth concerns, if live-stock manure is applied toa vegetable garden orstrawberry patch, do thisin the fall for a safe springgarden.

Falling in one’s homecauses many life-threat-ening injuries and jeopar-dizes the independence forover one-third of Kentuck-y’s senior population (65and older) each year.

However, falls do nothave to be a part of grow-ing older, as fall-relatedinjuries are often prevent-able. One way to bemind-ful of potential injuries is totake steps to prevent them.By lowering the risk offalls, health and independ-ence can be preserved.

According to the Ken-tucky Safe Aging Coali-tion, older Kentuckiansshould follow these guide-lines to help prevent falls:

» Exercise regularly toincrease strength andimprove balance.

»Ask a physician toreviewmedications to re-

duce the riskof harmfulside effects.

»Have avision checkat least oncea year.

» Im-prove light-ing in thehome.

» Ensureoutdoor

walk-ways and paths arewell lit for evening use.

» Reduce hazards in thehome that can lead to falls.These might includethrow rugs, loose or nohand rails, changes infloor type (going fromcarpet to wood or wood tolinoleum), loose cords onthe floor, excess furniture,and clutter.

» Install grab bars, anduse bathing seats and

toilet risers.A medical alert system

might be beneficial forsome independently-livingolder adults. Anotheroption might be to have afamily member or neigh-bor check on the person onat a set time each day. Itcould be a physical knockon the door, a phone call,or a check-in via e-mail orInternet messaging sys-tem. Have a system inplace to call for help if theperson does not respond tothe daily check-in.

Following these pre-cautions can lead to saferenvironments and greaterself-confidence.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

We all have lessons tolearn. Some are easier thanothers, and some take a dayortwo(or40years)tofinallysink in.

Thuswas thecase for theIsraelites, and the lesson foryou and me. What shouldhave taken11short days, go-ingfromthe topofMt.Sinai,whereGod showed the Isra-elites thebeautiful landtheywere about to occupy, tookthem40 longyears.Years offearing what lay ahead; theunknown.Yearsof anger re-garding their current situa-tion, and years of disobe-dience and going their ownway.

Sounds a lot like a day inthe life of you andme, huh?

In the early part of thebook of Deuteronomy we

find Mo-ses pass-ing alongamessagefrom God.“Look, Iam givingall thisland toyou! Godin and oc-cupy it!Don’t be

afraid! Don’t be discour-aged!” Deuteronomy1:8,21.

Immediately we hearfrom the Israelites the clas-sic, “But?” Really? Butwhat? What could they pos-sibly have questions about?God’swordswereasclearasthey could be. Yet, the Isra-elites found a “but” just likeyou and I do when God hasinstructions for us. We al-ways follow up with, “but?”

AfterGodcleared theairin this situation, the Israel-ites still weren’t satisfied.Now they begin grumblingandcomplaining. “Howlongwill this take? What will weeat?This isn’t comfortable.”Yada, yada, yada.

And this is all just in thefirst chapter!

What a parallel to ourlives. God provides instruc-tion, we question. God clar-ifies, we complain.

The greatest lesson youand I might learn from thisscenario may just be foundright in the first sentence.What should have taken 11short days, took 40 longyears!

The good news here isthat no matter how muchcomplaining and grum-bling, the Israelites stillmade it to the promisedland. Not because they de-served it, but because it iswhat God promised. Hepromisedtotakethemoutofslaveryand into a land filledwithmilk andhoney, andHeremained true to His word.

The same is true for youand I. No matter how oftenwe question and complain,God still promises to free usfrom the slavery of our painand current situation andHewill provide.

We justmight get there alittle quicker if we stop ask-ingquestionsandjustfollowHis instructions, though!

“And now, Israel, listencarefully to these decreesand regulations that I amabout to teach you. Obeythemsothatyoumaylive,sothat you may enter and oc-cupy the land that the Lord,theGodofyourancestors, isgiving you.” Deuteronomy4:1

I was fortunate enough toattend the grand opening of thenew EdenPURE® factory inNorth Canton, Ohio. The newplant brought hundreds of newjobs back to Ohio and reversedthe common practice of send-ing Midwest manufacturingjobs to China. Now, Eden-PURE® continues to ramp upproduction for the comingWinter with exciting newmodels and hundreds of newemployees as this Made inAmerica success story contin-ues to grow.

American Labor, Ameri-can Quality

With over 3 million porta-ble heaters sold EdenPURE®

is the best selling portable in-frared heating system inNorth America. However,like any classic, EdenPURE®

has dozens of would-be com-petitors who create Asiancopies at low prices usingcheap, foreign labor. Don’tbe fooled by these imitations.Look for the EdenPURE® lo-go and the Made in NorthCanton, Ohio stamp. Savelike millions of others on yourheating bills and say “NO” tocheap foreign imitators.

I spoke with Neil Tyburkthe Chief Designer and Presi-dent of EdenPURE®’s NorthCanton plant who is very directin his beliefs. “We have betterdesigns, better materials and abetter work force. We can kicktheir butts in production andquality. The only advantagethey have is cheap labor.”

Save up to 49% on 2013EdenPURE®s

Now readers can save up to49% ($229 the largest savingsever on new EdenPURE®s).EdenPURE® is not just thebest-selling portable heatingsystem in North America. Asan EdenPURE® owner I rankEdenPURE® #1 for quality,safety and efficiency. Andnow is the perfect time to savelike never before on our ex-panded 2013 EdenPURE® linemade in our brand new NorthCanton, Ohio facility.

With two models Eden-PURE® can meet all of yourheating requirements 365 daysa year. We receive thousandsof letters from satisfied cus-tomers who share their heatingtestimonials many of whichyou can view at our websiteedenpure.com. This Summerwe even followed up withEdenPURE® customers from 5years ago like Gloria Smith(see her original testimonyabove) who are still just as en-thusiastic and in some in-stances saved thousands ofdollars versus costly propane.

Gloria Smith InterviewMay 20, 2012

“My name is Gloria Smithand I am a retired principalfrom Boydton, Virginia. I’vebe e n us i ng EdenPURE ®

Heaters for 5 years. I think Isaved at least $15,000 over aperiod of 5 years. And that’sproven with my bank state-ments because it’s document-ed. And I feel really greatabout using the EdenPURE®

Heaters.”“Many people have called

me from all over the countrywhen they have seen the in-fomercials on TV. I’ve en-

joyed talking to them and Iwant everybody to save moneyin these hard economic times.I believe in paying it forward,so when you experience some-thing good, you want to shareit.”

Stay Comfortable 365Days a Year

“Never be cold again” isthe EdenPURE® promise.EdenPURE® provides you in-surance against the cold allyear long. Stay comfortableon those unseasonably chillyevenings no matter the season.I live in California but believeme it gets cold at night. Keepyour expensive furnace turneddown until it’s absolutely nec-essary. And if we are fortu-nate enough to experience amild winter as many of us didin the Midwest last year, youkeep your furnace off all sea-son and save even bigger.

New, More Ef f i c i en tModels

The engineers at Eden-PURE® listened to their mil-lions of customers and some-how managed to improve the#1 portable heater in NorthAmerica. Through old fash-ioned American ingenuity thenew EdenPURE® line is moreefficient to save you evenmore money.

The EdenPURE® PersonalHeater now heats a larger area,an increase from 350 squarefeet to 500 square feet. That’sa 30% increase in efficiency!And EdenPURE® is proud tointroduce the 2013 Model 750.The new Model 750 is perfectfor larger areas and heats up to750 square feet. But the bestthing about the Model 750 isthe price. We priced the Mod-el 750 at only $50 above thePersonal Heater. This meansyou receive a 33% increase inperformance for only $50.That’s American engineeringat its best!

We all know heating costsare expected to remain atrecord levels. The cost of

heating our homes and apart-ments will continue to be asignificant burden on thefamily budget. The Eden-PURE® can cut your heatingbills and pay for itself in amatter of weeks, and thenstart putting a great deal ofextra money in your pocketafter that.

Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major

cause of residential fires in theUnited States is carelessnessand faulty portable heaters.The choice of fire and safetyprofessional, Captain MikeHornby, the EdenPURE® hasno exposed heating elementsthat can cause a fire. And aredundant home protectionsystem that simply shuts theEdenPURE® down if it sensesdanger. That’s why grandpar-ents and parents love theEdenPURE®.

The outside of the Eden-PURE® only gets warm to thetouch so that it will not burnchildren or pets. And your petmay be just like my dog whohas reserved a favorite spotnear the EdenPURE®. Yousee the EdenPURE® uses in-frared heat. And just as petsenjoy basking in a beam ofsunlight they try to stay closeto EdenPURE®’s “bone-warming” infrared heat.

The Origin of EdenPURE®

a Missouri Rancher’s Dis-covery

American’s love to tinker.We are a nation of inventorsfrom Benjamin Franklin toThomas Edison. A Missourihorse breeder named JohnJones was no exception.

Jones lived in a large draftyold farmhouse with his familyof five. They stayed warm oncold Missouri nights with anold coal furnace and plenty ofblankets.

Now Jones was always col-lecting scrap to use in his latestinventions and somewherealong the line he had picked upa large sheet of cured copper.

Jones stored the large coppersheet in his basement near thecoal furnace he labored to fillevery chilly morning.

Jones noticed somethingpeculiar. The coal furnacewarmed the copper sheet andas the furnace cooled down thecopper sheet stayed warm. Infact, the copper sheet stayedwarm for many hours andheated much of the large base-ment.

As Jones continued to de-velop a portable infraredheater he knew the copper wasthe secret ingredient thatwould make his heater differ-ent from all the rest. His cop-per heating chambers com-bined with the far infraredbulbs provided an efficientwave of “soft” heat over largeareas. The breakthrough Eden-PURE® infrared heating cham-ber was born.

The Health Secret is inthe Copper

EdenPURE®’s engineershave taken Jones’ originalconcept through revolutionarychanges. EdenFLOW™ tech-nology uses copper heatingchambers to take the energyprovided by our special SYL-VANIA infrared bulbs anddistribute our famous soft heatevenly throughout the room.

Now our copper isn’t ordi-nary. It’s 99.9% pure antimi-crobial copper from an over150 year old American ownedcompany in Pennsylvania.Researchers have discoveredcopper as an antimicrobial isfar more effective than stain-less steel or even silver. That’swhy our special antimicrobialcopper is marked Cu+ andused in hospitals on touch sur-faces. So your EdenPURE®

heater is continuously pushingsoft, healthy, infrared heatthroughout your room.

Never be cold again

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man withall the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look formoney saving and efficient heating in my home. I have anEdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater in my Californiahome and like millions of others found it to be a super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long.

We live in an area which is known for very cold winters.Our facility is nearly 7000 square feet in area. When webegan to utilize the first unit we were amazed to see howeven the heat was for the entire living room area. We or-dered a second and a third unit which now warms the en-tire home. Much to our surprise we are saving over $250 amonth and had the lowest expense for heating we haveever experienced here. I would heartily recommend your

products to anybody who is interested in really nice, even heat in their homeand also interested in saving on their utility expenses.Dennis Crystal, Troy, MT (Retired Airline Pilot)

Enclosed you will find printouts of our electric billand gas/heating/cooking bills for 2007 - 2008. Ourgas company, AmeriGas, stated that more moneywas saved than would show up because of the costgoing up. We would turn the gas on early in themorning and turn it down to 60 degrees; We woulduse the EdenPURE® heaters from then on and theyprovided such warmth and cozy heat. Many of our

friends have informed me recently that they are going to purchase theseheaters for their homes this winter.Gloria D. Smith, Boydton, VA (Retired Elementary Principal)
