OLD FASHIONDAYThere's still time toregister for the paradein Walton. B5

UNION — The Rev. Lisa Sten-ner didn’t intend to move.

Living inOpelika,Ala., close toAuburn, where she grew up andher extended family is, Stennerwas serving at the First Presby-terian Church of Auburn.

“We had no intention of mov-ing. It was not part of my long-range life plan and just about twoyears ago, I started feeling a stir-ring – God had something differ-ent in mind for our family,” shesaid sitting in her new office atUnion Presbyterian Church,where she began as pastor on

Aug. 1.According to Stenner, she and

God “were in conversation aboutthat” for some 18 months beforeshe was willing to enter thesearch process.

Union was further north thanshe realized, but it was the “workof the spirit” that they ended uphere, feeling at home in the com-munity and the congregation.

“It just has really been a won-derful transition that was not inthe plan,” Stenner said.

According to Stenner, shecame to ministry “sort of totallybackwards.”

"There’s been absolutely noth-ing about my journey inministrythat has been traditional by Pres-byterian standards.”

Raised in the Baptist church,Stenner went to college in South

Carolina and “was convinced Iwas going to go to law school,”she said.

Instead, she felt a pull to semi-nary “and after much conversa-

tionwithGod once again, I decid-ed I would go to seminary, but Iwasn’t going to be in churchwork. I would do faith-based so-cial ministry.”

Stenner then attended EmoryUniversity’s Candler School ofTheology, a Methodist seminary.While there, she “really felt a dif-ferent call to church ministry.That surprisedme and I had to doa little denominational shop-ping.”

The Presbyterian churchseemed to be the fit for how sheunderstood church, “having beenraisedBaptist and having been inthe Methodist seminary,” shelaughed. “The Presbyterianchurch seemed to be the logicalprogression of things.”

A crew of local Boy Scouts ven-tured through the mountains of NewMexico hiking over 89 miles in 12days to enjoy backpacking, hikingand the beauty of nature.

Corbin Fox, crew reporter forUnion Boy Scouts Troop 702, calledit a “life-changing summer trekthrough the Sangre de Cristo Moun-tains at Philmont Scout Ranch inCimarron, NewMexico.”

Philmont covers 214 square milesof vast wilderness with trails that

climb from 6,500 feet to as high as12,441 feet.

Members of the crew were Nich-olas Gilling, Ryan Nix, Zach Koenig,Andrew Case, Tyler Zahn, Sam Kru-gel, Tristin Moeller and Fox alongwith adult leaders Trey Nix, JayTracy, Jeff Koenig and Tom Case.

“We carried everything needed tosurvive during the trek on our backswhile hiking from camp to camp,”Fox said.

They participated in many back-country activities such as rockclimbing, spar pole climbing andgold panning. The trek included aconservation project where welearned and participated in the up-keep of Philmont’s ecosystem.

“During the trek we went throughtough challenges including back-packing in bear and mountain lionterritory, extremely steep climbs,and often inclement weather,” saidFox, who describes the two-weektrip as “amazing and life changingfor everyone.

“We didn’t want to leave andwhile some of our crew wanted tocome back, some of them wanted towork there in the upcoming years,”he said.

The next trip to Philmont forUnion’s Troop 702 will be summer2014.

Stenner actually grad-uated from seminary be-fore pursuing ordination.She was ordained nearly13 years ago.

She calls congrega-tion at Union Presbyteri-an “just so loving andopening andwelcoming.”

“The congregation isreally primed and readyto get involved in somenew things,” Stennersaid.

According to Stenner,“what you see iswhat youget,” with her, her hus-band, Dave, and son Tre-vor, 11.

“We love people andwe love life and want tobearoundpositivepeopledoing good things andthis just seems to be theplace to do that.”

for the convention.“I hope the weather co-

operates,” he said beforeleaving. “That’s the un-known right now.”

Nalbandian said he’slooking forward to seeingKentucky Sens. MitchMcConnell and RandPaul, as well as a numberof Republican governorsspeaking.

“I’m looking forwardto that, seeing some peo-ple (from) around thecountry.”

He’s also anticipatingspeeches from Republi-can presidential candi-date Mitt Romney and hisrunning mate, U.S. Rep.Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

Romney will have achance to “tell his storyand his background andgive the voters the oppor-

tunity to see who he is,”Nalbandian said.

Nalbandian said hethinks Ryan was a “greatpick" for Romney’s run-ning mate.

“I’m excited to see himspeak.”

Because Ryan went toschool at Miami Univer-sity, he has “ties to theKentucky/Ohio region, soI think that’s great,” Nal-bandian said.

While Nalbandian saidviability of coal and spe-cifically energy issuesare “vital for Kentucky,”the economy is the “domi-nant factor” in the upcom-ing election.

“For Kentucky specifi-cally, I think we’re veryinterested in the economylike everyone else be-

cause that’s a key issue,”he said.

Rep. AddiaWuchner ofFlorence, a district alter-nate, is also attending.

Wuchner attended the2008 convention as a dele-gate and said the conven-tion is the time “thoseideas, those plans, thatsynergy is built (and we)get to know more aboutour candidate.”

The convention is atime to focus on a plat-form and a plan, she said.

She wasn’t concernedabout the weather, butsaid America is already“in the eye of a storm ofcrisis that’s facing thiscountry.”

Wuchner says she en-joys all the speakers, whobring different attributes

and insights. During theprocess, voters get toknow their presidentialand vice presidential can-didates “much more inti-mately.”

“I’m looking forwardto it all,” she said.

OtherRepublicandele-gates include member at-large alternate JuliaBright, member at-largealternate Cathy Flaig ofHebron, and district dele-gate Tami Wilson of Flor-ence.

The communitywill cel-ebrate the 33rd Old TimersDayFestival from11a.m. to11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1.

Rabbit Hash GeneralStore proprietor and eventorganizer Terrie Markes-bery said the event willhave live music, a “barniv-al” in the barn, which is akids carnival with arts andcrafts, food and a hayrideparking shuttle.

The music lineup in-cludes acts Jake Speed andthe Freddies, GunpowderCreek, The Lady Slippers,Marmalade Brigade, ShinyOld Soul, Keshvar Project,Downtown County Bandand Tilford Sellers.

“It’s an appreciation forthepatrons ofRabbitHash,to honor the older peoplewhohavebeen in town– theold timers,” she said.

Markesbery said the“old timers” are crucial tothe history of the commu-nity because they passdown stories.

“If an old timer says it ...that’s the way it is,” shesaid.

The past events typical-ly draw 1,000 or more peo-ple through the day, saidMarkesbery.

“The weather’s alwaysnice and it’s nice to sit bythe river and listen to old-timey music (and) absorb

what the townhas to offer,”she said.

WALTON—City leader-ship is getting a majorshakeup this fall.

The filing deadline haspassed for Walton CityCouncil and mayoral can-didates, and we now knowwhowillappearonthebal-lot.

The mayor’s office isup for election becauseformermayorWayneCar-lisle resigned from officebefore his term expired.Paula Jolley was appoint-ed to serve as mayor untilElection Day – when resi-dentswould elect amayorto finish up the term.

Stepping up to run formayor are Phillip Trzopand Jim Butler.

Trzop spent severalterms as mayor until los-ing theoffice toCarlisle in2010.

Butler is a retired as-sistant fire chief for theFlorence Fire/EMS De-partment and is the chair-man of the Walton FireProtection District board.

Because the winner ofthe election is filling anunexpired term, he willtake office as soon as theelection results are certi-fied. The winner willserve until January 2014.

All six City Councilseats are up for election.

Because only two candi-dates are up for re-elec-tion, the new council willhave at least four newfaces.

The incumbent candi-dates areMark Carnahan,a postal carrier, and MikeWood, who is filling theunexpired term for Jolleywhen she was appointedmayor.

Those looking to earnnew seats on council are:

» Olivia Ballou, who’sworking to complete hermaster’s degree.

The prospect of a nice homesituated on a lake in a suburbancommunity is very appealing toprospective buyers.

Lakes became a fixture atmany of the residential develop-ments in Boone County duringdecades of population growth,which was only recently slowedby the economic downturn.

In many communities, thelakes continue to be an attractivefeature as residents orhomeown-ers associations diligently main-tain the shared amenity. But inother neighborhoods, what oncewas an asset has become an eye-sore and a liability, for a varietyof reasons.

WhenHaroldGarrisonboughthis home on Larch Court in Flor-ence in 2001, the lake situated be-hind it was a key selling point.

“I used to enjoy sitting outhere inmybackyard and look at abeautiful clear lake,” Garrisonsaid.

Garrison still sits by the lake,but he no longer likes what hesees.

“It’s a mess,” he said.The lake is so congested with

green algae and vegetation, itlooks from a distance as if Garri-son’s lawn extends to the back-yard of his neighbor on the otherside of the pond.

There is no homeowners asso-ciation in the community, whichGarrison said has made it almostimpossible to develop a plan forcleanup and maintenance of thelake.

“Some people want to chip in,but others don’t,” he said.

Myra Baker of the TripleCrowncommunity inUnionsaidahomeowners associationdoesnotensure adequate lake mainte-nance.

She is one of several residents

whose homes encircle the Whir-laway Lake at Triple Crown,whichwasdesigned tohelpwatera golf course there.

The drought this year has af-fected not only the lake level, butthe golf course as well, requiringmore frequent watering. Thelake is several feet lower than itsnormal stage, and fish have be-gun to die off.

“We contacted the homeown-ers association, but they say it isour responsibility tomaintain thelake,” Baker said. “Wewant to dothat, but we don’t know how wecan maintain something that wecan’t control.”

Residents of the Treetopscommunity in Hebron and atSherwood Lakes have looked tothe Boone County Fiscal Courtfor help resolving lake contami-nation and erosion problems.

Treetops residentshavehad todeal with dead fish and an over-

growth of algae and vegetation,which they attribute to stormwa-ter runoff caused by continuingresidential development.

Sherwood Lakes homeownerssay increased stormwater runoffthere has created erosion prob-lems that threaten their yardsand homes.

Residents in those communi-ties say Sanitation District No. 1has an obligation to fix the prob-lems because it charges a fee forstormwatermaintenance and theexcess runoff comes from otherneighborhoods.

Brian Miller of the HomeBuildersAssociation ofNorthernKentucky said developers shouldplan for the long-term mainte-nance of lakes through funds setup by HOAs.

“In five or six years, a devel-opmentwith a lot of parcels couldamass a large reserve account,”Miller said. “The key is to ensure

that money is not used for otherpurposes because maintenancecosts are inevitable and can bevery expensive.”

Mary Keller, president of theRivershore Farms HomeownersAssociation in Hebron, said resi-dents in that upscale communitystrongly support the mainte-nance of a lake there.

“The dues go into a budget ev-ery year and from that comes themaintenanceof the lakeandfoun-tain,whichaerates the lake,”Kel-ler said. “Weadded some lights tothe fountain, so there was someadditional cost, but that’s mini-mal once you purchase the units.I think that just for the generalenjoyment of the community it isa very important feature.”

While commonly identified aslakes, many are designed as re-tention ponds. They often have asecondary purpose and residentssometimes pay more for the so-

called premium lots, but recre-ational and aesthetic uses are notthe primary function of theponds.

Keller said the lake at River-shore Farms was built to accom-modate stormwater runoff buthas become a shared amenity forthe community.

“There are some people in thecommunity that fish, andwehavea catch-and-release policy,” Kel-ler said. “One of the problemsweran into is that people wanted toput fish or other animals in thelakeandtheymaynotunderstandthe ecosystem of that particularpond or lake, but it has become anice feature.”

MiriamKannan,aprofessor intheDepartment ofBiological Sci-ences atNorthernKentuckyUni-versity, said identifying the eco-systemunique to a lake or pond iscritical to effectivemaintenance.

“Everybodywants a quick fix,but there is a tradeoff whenchemicals are used, becausesomemaybe toxic,”Kannansaid.

Kannan was the featuredspeaker at a recent field day atStork Lake in Boone County thathelped residents identify differ-ent types of contamination andoffered treatment suggestions.

“The drought and the heathave stimulated some really nas-ty things tobloomthisyear.”Kan-nan said.

Miller said maintenance is-sues need to be resolved becauseponds will likely become a fix-ture inmost newresidential com-munities. U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency regulationsnow require on-site retention ofstormwater, making the lakesmore than just an amenity.

“You’re going to see a lotmoreof it in the future and they are go-ing to have to be maintained for-ever.” Miller said. “The mainte-nance of those stormwater sys-tems will be the responsibility ofthe property owners.”

WALTON—Although theapproved agenda didn’tmention a zoning change,that’s what residents want-ed to talk about.

Residents from the areasurrounding High Street,PercivalRoadandRebeccaCourt packed into the Wal-ton Senior Center for theAug. 13 City Council meet-ing to voice their opposi-tion to a proposed zonechange thatwould allow in-dustrial usage on a 280-acre plot of land split be-tween Boone and Kentoncounties that’s currentlyzoned for agriculture use.

“Youdonot put industri-al parks in the middle ofresidential areas,” said Ro-berta Albers, who lives onJones Road.

The plot is surroundedby residences that sit onlarge plots of land andmany of the back yards of

homes in the RebeccaCourt cul-de-sac.

Because the plot of landsits in both counties, thezone change has to be re-viewed by planning com-missions in both counties.The Kenton County Plan-ning Commission recom-mended against thechange, and the BooneCounty Planning Commis-sion will decide on it some-time next month.

While the commissionswill make their recommen-dations, the final decisionwill fall on Walton’s CityCouncil because the landwas annexed into the cityof Walton earlier this year.

Last year, Walton CityCouncil approved a capac-ity agreement with land-owners Omaha Enter-prises whereWalton wouldannex the property, pro-videwater and sewage ser-vice to the property andfile a joint application forthe zone change while

Omaha would pay for thewater and sewage linesdown Jones Road down toOmaha’s property. Resi-dents in the area wouldhave the opportunity to tieinto the lines.

CurrentlyOmahaEnter-prises doesn’t have adevel-oper on board for the prop-erty, but the I-1 zoningthat’s requested only al-lows for “light industrial”uses, said Dick Knock,managing partner forOmahaEnterprises. Knockwasnot at theAug.13meet-ing.

“We’re not bringing insmokestack kind of devel-opment,” Knock said.

Knock envisions an ad-vanced manufacturing fa-cility that will bring in doz-ens of well-paying jobs.

“It’s not undesirablegrowth,” Knock said.

Many residents fearedthe number of trucks an in-dustrial developmentwould bring to inadequate

roads as well as the addedtraffic from employees,but part of the site plancalls for the constructionof a new road out to MaryGrubbs Highway, paid forby Omaha Enterprises,that will route traffic fromthe interstate directly tothe property. The rights ofway required for the roadhave already been pur-chased, Knock said.

“The way we have se-cured the rights of way,this will go through zeroresidential,” he said.

Walton is no stranger toindustrial areas, but asthose areas creep closer toresidential areas the city islosing its small town ap-peal, said Mark McDan-nold of Rebecca Court.

“Walton is ‘the place tobe,’ but it’s becoming aplace to be,” McDannoldsaid.

The issuedroveMcDan-nold to run for City Councilthis November, he said.

“I don’t know of anyonewho thinks this is a goodidea,” he said. “I don’t seethe direct benefit.”

Knock sees this as the“gateway of growth forWalton.”

If the land was used forresidential development,like the Kenton CountyPlanning Commission andmany residents recom-mend, it will put a hugeburden on the alreadystretched Walton-VeronaSchools and add more than1,000 cars of regular trafficto the inadequate roads,Knock said.

By putting in a light in-dustrial development, ad-ditional tax revenue wouldflow to the school districtwhile not adding additionalstudents. Residents wouldbe able to use the new roadto skip residential areasand several railroad cross-ings while getting to theWalton Towne Center andthe interstate, he said.

“I think it is the rightthing to do for the commu-nity,” Knock said. “I be-lieve that with my wholeheart.”

Knock says he under-stands the plight of the sur-rounding residents, andthe agreement makes con-cessions to help those resi-dents.

“We’re going to strike atleast half a dozen of thepermitted uses (of the I-1zoning) that would be con-sidered a nuisance to theneighbors,” he said.

Because Walton CityCouncil has “blessed” thezone change with the ca-pacity agreement last year,Knock sees little reason tobelieve it will be voteddown by City Council, hesaid.

“I can’t conceive of thathappening,” Knock said.

The fallout of the zonechange denial would ulti-mately have to be decidedby attorneys, he said.

VERONA—Back to school timeis normally when students getback to books, but this yearthey’re just picking up wheresummer left off.

The Walton-Verona Elemen-tary PTA held the school’s first-ever summer reading program,and students were spent theirbreaks with noses in books.

“We take a lot of pride in ourAccelerated Reader program,”said PTA president Stacey Alex-ander.

Accelerated Reader is a pro-gram that assigns points to booksbased on their reading level. Stu-dents take tests to earn points andoften get rewards at certain pointmilestones.

Because the school puts suchan emphasis on AcceleratedReader, the PTA wanted a way tokeep students excited about read-ingwhile schoolwasn’t in session,Alexander said.

“Themotivationwastoencour-age the kids to stay at that levelover the summer,” she said.

Called the “summer slide,”teachersoftenhavetospendsometime in thebeginningof theschoolyear helping students relearnwhat learning they may have lostduring their time out of school.Programs like this are used tocombat thesummerslidebykeep-ing students’ minds active whileout of school.

To get students excited aboutthe program, a kickoff was heldbefore school ended last year sostudents could see that sponsorslike Dairy Queen and Snappy To-matoPizzaweregivingawaypriz-es to students who participated.

That night, 50 students signedup and once school started, theygot to reading.

Throughout the summer,teachers would run into studentswhowereexcitedtotellhowmuchthey’ve been reading, Alexandersaid.

Students logged their readingtimes, and by the end of the sum-mer, they’d logged34,842minutesof reading.

“We were pleasantly sur-prised,” Alexander said.

Students who participatedwere entered into a raffle whenschool returned to win Reds andFreedom tickets, school spiritwear and a Nook e-reader.

Seeing how excited studentsgot and how seriously they tookthe program is a promising signfor the future, Alexander said.

“We’ll definitely do it again,”she said.

FLORENCE — Thanks to grantmoney,Florenceplaygroundswillhave new games.

Thanks to a Physical Educa-tionPrograms (PEP)grant,BooneCounty Schools’ Boone4Healthinitiative was able to upgrade theplaygroundsatYealeyandCollinselementary schools.

This is the first year of thethree-year grant.

The upgrades are focusedaround creating ways for stu-dents to exercise while workingon curriculum. This year’smoneyincluded a stencil to paint areaslikeamapoftheUnitedStatesandnumber grids onto the play-

ground pavement and curricu-lum.

By having the new, colorfulareas, students will be able tolearn letters, colors, states, capi-tols and other areas elementarystudents are learning.

Activities could include jump-ing to different letters or walkingalong the number line that makesup the perimeter of the area.

“There’s a physical aspect anda learning aspect to it. That whatwe’re excited about,” said Yealey

Principal Linda Black.Much of the curriculum in-

cludesgamestoplay,andsince it’searly in the school year most ofthe games haven’t been explainedto students. That hasn’t stoppedthem from making up their owngames.

“They cannot wait,” said grantcoordinator Jessica Houglan.

Students have already madeup a game where they race eachother around the letter grid to seewho can spell their names thefastest. That game isn’t includedin the curriculum and is a greatexample of how this is encourag-ing students to be creative andwork together, said David Stefa-nopoulos, PEPcoordinator atYea-ley.

“There’s a social aspect to it,”Stefanopoulos said.

It’s called the Peaceful Play-ground Program because anotheraspect is to get students playingtogether and figuring out how toresolve conflicts themselves.

Seeing students working outthe rules of games they are creat-ing is a positive step in that direc-tion, Stefanopoulos said.

Next year’s plans for improv-ing the playgrounds includes add-ing an intermediate fitness areawhere the school’s older studentswill be able to play on equipmentthat gets them exercising.

“It’s very much about kids us-ing their bodies,” Houglan said.

It is hard to imagine ateam being disappointedwith winning 31 of its past35 games.

While disappointmentmight be a bit too strong,the Thomas More CollegeSaints remain hungry formore success. After reel-ing off two straight unde-feated regular seasonscapped by first round play-off victories, the Saintsslightly stumbled in 2011,losing their first regularseason game since 2008,their first conferencegame since 2007, and theirfirst round playoff game.

“We can’t be satisfied,”said head coach Jim Hil-vert. “We have lofty goalsfor this season.”

Hilvert enters his sixthseason as the ranked 22ndamong all active NCAAhead football coaches inwinning percentage (.768).The Saints are ranked 20thin the D3football.com pre-season Top 25. Senior safe-ty Zach Autenrieb (Elder)enters the season with 24career interceptions, sixshy of setting a new Divi-sion III record for careerinterceptions.

To help prepare for adeeper postseason run thisyear, the Saints open theseason at 11th-ranked St.John Fisher. With thismuch hype and pressureheading into theseason, theSaints will be tested earlyand often in their quest fora fifth-straight PresidentsAthletic Conference title.

Sophomore quarter-back Luke Magnessopened eyes after startingthe final two games of the2011 season. He has a bevy

of talentedskill play-ers return-ing aroundhim and ispoised for abreakoutyear.

“He hada great off-

season,” said Hilvert of hisyoung quarterback. “Hetook big steps toward be-coming a leader of thisteam.”

Former Saints quarter-back Trevor Stellman(Conner) takes over offen-sive coordinator duties af-ter Brian Sheehan wasnamed head coach at De-fiance College. Stellman’sexperience in the programhas made for a smoothtransition thus far. He willkeep in place the Saints’dangerous option attack, inwhich speedy backsDomo-nique Hayden and LandonSavoy will pile up yardage.

The receiving corps isdeep, led by local productsAustin Studer (CampbellCounty), Ryan Winkler (Si-mon Kenton), Tony Bell(Northwest), Bobby Leon-ard (Dixie Heights), andMercier Doucette (BooneCounty).

The entire offensive

line returns intact, led byfirst team All-PAC tackleJeremy Hoop (Glen Este),second team All-PAC cen-ter Kevin Naltner (Elder),and fellow senior KevinEads (Oak Hills).

Adam Rauch movedfrom running back to safe-ty, where he will line upnext to Autenrieb. Skilledcornerbacks ShaquilleJinks (Moeller), Jake Fish-burn (Elder), and AntonioBooker round out the sec-ondary. Nick Gramke (El-der), Alex Taylor (Elder),Ben Flamm (Deer Park),Nate Dorsey, and Eli An-glim (Anderson) give theSaints a deep linebackergroup. Jay Volker (Elder)returns to lead the defen-sive line after missing the2011 season with a knee in-jury. Tyler Combs (High-lands), Chris Bouman(Bishop Brossart), and Ty-ler Calhoun (Bethel-Tate)join Volker up front.

The Saints will rely ontheir seniors — Bell, Dou-cette, Naltner, Hoop, Eadsand Studer on offense;Volker, Gramke, Auten-rieb,AnglimandBookerondefense— to lead the teambeyond thesecondroundofthe playoffs.

Whatever happened toAmerican pride?

I am writing this to expressmy discontent with our profes-sional sports players and theirblatant disregard for our Ameri-can flag. At the beginning of ev-ery game, the United States Na-tional Anthem is played, yet, onlya handful of the players placetheir hand over their heart in re-spect. As part of theU.S. CodeTi-tle 36, Section 301, it is customaryand a sign of respect and pride inour country to place our handover our heart in salute.

According to 36 USC 36 Sec.301, during a rendition of the na-tional anthem 1. when the flag isdisplayed a. all present exceptthose in uniform should stand atattention facing the flag with theright hand over the heart; 2. mennot in uniform should removetheir headdress with their righthand and hold the headdress atthe left shoulder, the hand beingover the heart.

I don’t understand. Whatwould it take away from the per-son to place their hand over theirheart to show respect? In onebrief simple act, it shows that youbelieve and have pride in ourcountry.

Here are excerpts from TerryDonoghue’s testimony to theTask Force on Pension Reformon Aug. 21:

I come before you today as afather and grandfather who isdeeply concerned about thefuture fiscal stability of thecommonwealth of Kentucky,the place my wife and I choseto raise our family.

I am angry that the people ofthis commonwealth find ourstate in such a serious financialcrisis directly attributable tothe deficiencies in the pensionsystem and that the word bank-ruptcy is often used.

I am angry that the pensiondebt is nearly four times thesize of the commonwealth’sGeneral Fund budget.

For full disclosure, I am aregistered Republican, who isretired, and I live in Hebron,Ky. I have an extensive back-ground in the insurance busi-ness and am active in the TeaParty because I believe theproblems we are facing are theresult of years of inaction,

finger pointingand bickeringby leaders inboth politicalparties.

About amonth and ahalf ago, amember of theHouse Demo-cratic leader-ship appearedon InsightCable and said

that on a scale of 1-10 the pen-sion system is an 8, but he didnot see any resolution to theproblem and went on to blamethe pension board for the prob-lems we face.

Folks, the Speaker, the Ma-jority Floor Leader, the SenatePresident, one of the co-chairsof this committee, as well asother Republican and Demo-cratic legislators, on March 8,2005, passed House Bill 299without a hearing. This bill,written by both houses of stategovernment without taxpayerconsultation, enables all legis-

lators to “super size” theirpensions.

One of the inappropriatechanges that 299 created wasthat it allows legislators torefigure their pension to thehigh three years instead of five.They also added the reciprocityfeature, which enables them tocalculate their pensions not ontheir part-time salary as a leg-islator, but on a full-time salaryin another state or local govern-ment job held either before orafter they left the legislature.

This bill enabled formerRichmond Rep. Harry Moberly,who voted for passage of 299, toreceive a pension estimated tobe in excess of $168,000 peryear plus compound COLAincreases. That’s over $127,000per year more than what hislegislative pension would havebeen had 299 not been enacted.

It also enabled a formerNorthern Kentucky legislatorJon Draud’s pension, becauseof his one year as EducationCommissioner, to go from$9,247 annually to $22,876 an-

nually.The Speaker is one of the big

winners in the legislative pen-sion scheme which he voted forand helped pass. His legislativepension bonus thanks to HB 299is estimated to be more than$1.24 million.

Approximately two weeksago a co-chair of this commit-tee appeared on the Pure Poli-tics show. He talked about thepossibility of cuts in benefits,increase in employee’s contri-butions, and the possibility of atax increase and so on to re-solve our pension issue. At notime did he mention how thelegislators were benefitingfrom 299 nor did he talk aboutrepealing it. He even talkedabout the possibility of cuts inthe education budget to helppay the pension deficit. Let meask all of you a question. Whenyou cut the education budgetbecause of this fiasco, does itbother you that a young third-grader may not be able to getthe books that he or she needsbecause you padded your pen-

sion?Adopt a reform plan that

recognizes those who havecome into government in thelast five years have no vestedrights in the system and there-fore should be transferred to amore fiscally responsible plan,either a 401-K plan designedlike the private sector, or a cashbalance plan.

If this takes court action, getthe job done.

Eliminate the free health-care for legislators and theirfamilies after 20 years of ser-vice.

The pension crisis in thiscommonwealth was not createdovernight and it will not beresolved overnight.

But we both owe it to futuregenerations of Kentuckians toimplement bold, aggressive,reforms to lay a foundationupon which future legislaturescan build a bright fiscal future.

Terry Donoghue is a Hebron residentand active in the Northern KentuckyTea Party.

Stop ‘super-sizing’ state pensions

Monsignor Ralph Beiting,who died Aug. 9, was a revered,Northern Kentucky-bornCatholic priest who devoted hisministry to people in the east-ern Kentucky mountains. Manyurban people who knew nothingof that region learned aboutpart of it through him: its ma-terial poverty.

But through his stories ofstreet preaching and personalmeetings we began to knowmore. His Christian Appa-lachian Project put people towork making Christmaswreaths and handicrafts, dec-ades before “Kentucky Craft-ed” became a brand. By the1960s, some of us began to getacquainted with a greater di-versity of people who had longbeen at home there, and theirrich cultures and landscapes.Writers like Jesse Stuart,James Still, Harry Caudill,Harriet Arnow, Gurney Nor-man, Sidney Saylor Farr, LethaKendrick and Marianne Wor-thington and many others speakpowerfully and skillfully fromtheir native points of view.

A lot has been made of ur-ban-born missionaries who

came intoAppalachia.Few know thatthe first Catho-lic family inthe CatholicDiocese ofCovington maywell have beenthe Durbins,who came intoMadison Coun-ty fromMary-land and to Lee

County early in the 1800s.The Encyclopedia of Appa-

lachia describes St. Therese onContrary Creek as “the firstlay-operated rural Catholicsettlement school in Lee Coun-ty” opened in 1929.

In 1975 the Catholic Bishopsof Appalachia offered a beauti-ful message titled “This Land IsHome ToMe,” and 20 yearslater in1995 the Catholic Com-mittee on Appalachia was stillcelebrating, when it issued “AtHome in the Web of Life.” In2012, St. Therese was added tothe National Register of Histor-ic Places, a testament thatCatholicism is as indigenous tothe Kentucky mountains as it is

to the Ohio River Valley.In my 30 years teaching or

making private retreats inBreathitt and Lee Counties, I’vefound what many North Amer-icans found out when they wentto Latin America. “Reversemissionaries” is how they de-scribed themselves. The giftswe receive are greater by farthan the poverty we discoveredin ourselves, after being shownthe warmest hospitality, meet-ing the most promising kids,being told some of the choiceststories and jokes, and fed withthe best cornbread, soup beansand greens at homes, and bestlunches in The Purple Cow inBeattyville.

To Father Beiting manyNorthern Kentuckians owe ourearliest glimmer of EasternKentucky. To my friends andneighbors at St. Therese, itssolitude and woods, I owe someof the gladdest times in my life.

Howmany times have youbeen sucked in by a TV in-fomercial? By the end of the 30minutes, you’ve got the phonein hand, ready to order thelatest workout video or steamcleaning system.

I’d like to borrow some tech-niques from the infomercialindustry to entice you to trysomething that may be new –buying produce from localfarmers’ markets. Though I’mlimited here in that I can’t showbeautiful pictures to illustratemy points, I’ll try promptingyour imagination.

Imagine pictures of gor-geous green beans, mouth-watering apples and succulentsquash.

Kentucky’s harvest season isin full swing. Corn, apples,eggplant, lettuce, peppers,potatoes, squash, tomatoes and

zucchini areall plentiful atlocal farmers’markets inSeptember andeven headinginto October.

Though thisyear’s droughthas certainlyaffected crops,there shouldstill be plenty

of options available.Shopping at farmers’ mar-

kets, with the bright colors andenticing smells, makes it easyto try something new – andperhaps find a fruit or vegeta-ble that you didn’t realize youenjoyed.

But wait, there’s more!Imagine yourself on the

scale, watching the numbers godown as you come closer to a

healthy weight. Or imagineyour pants being a little lesssnug.

Kentucky’s waist lines aregetting bigger … and bigger.Two out of three Kentuckyadults are overweight or obese,and one out of four children areas well.

Most fruits and vegetablesare naturally low in fat andcalories and are filling. At thesame time, fruits and vegeta-bles also provide essentialvitamins and minerals, fiber,and other substances that areimportant for good health.Freshly picked vegetables, likethose sold at farmers’ markets,are at the peak for not onlytaste, but also nutritional value.

AUGUST 30, 2012 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • B3LIFE

There’s one kind ofrecipe I can never getenough of: appetizers. I’llbet you’re in that predica-ment sometimes too, sotoday I’m sharing somefavorite appetizer recipes.

And remember, we eatwith our eyes as well asour tummies, so garnish-ing a dish, even simply, isworth the trouble.

Try edible flowers,herbs or just a few pars-ley sprigs. Your food willlook as good as it tastes.(Check out my website,abouteating.com, or myblog, Cooking with Rita,

for videosand photosof edibleflowers andherbs andhow to usethem).

Andhere’s a tipfor thosezucchinithat seemto know no

bounds. Every yearthere’s a couple that growto the size of ball batsseemingly overnight. I’llcut them, scoop out seedsif necessary and gratethem. Nice to have inwinter for soups, breadsand muffins.

Rita’s Hall of Famehoney-roastedalmonds

Almonds, like all nuts,contain fiber and protein,plus a good amount ofcalcium. This is my mostpopular roasted nut reci-pe. Don’t forget to toastthe nuts first; otherwisethe coating won’t adherewell. These make a greatgift from the kitchen anda nice snack to tote ontrips.

2 cups whole almonds withskin, toasted

¼ cup sugar½ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons each: honeyand water

2 teaspoons canola oil

Mix sugar and salt inlarge bowl and set aside.Stir together honey, waterand oil in pan and bring to

a boil. Immediately stir innuts and continue to cookand stir until liquid isabsorbed, about 5 min-utes. Immediately trans-fer nuts to bowl with sug-ar/salt mixture and tossuntil evenly coated. Pourout onto sprayed cookiesheet. When cool, breakup and store airtight atroom temperature up to amonth.

To toast nuts: Pour insingle layer on cookiesheet. Roast at 350 de-grees until fragrant, about10-15 minutes. Stir fromoutside edge into center acouple of times.

Healthier goatcheese dip withherbs

6 oz. goat cheese, low fat ifpossible

1 tablespoon plain Greekyogurt

Up to 1 tablespoon olive oil1⁄3 cup parsley2 teaspoons each: choppedmint and thyme

Salt and freshly groundpepper to taste

Celery stalks or other rawveggies for dipping

Put cheese, yogurt andolive oil in food processoruntil smooth. Stir in herbsand seasonings. Chill atleast 1 hour before serv-ing.

Health tip from Rita:Stalks of health

Celery contains vita-min C, calcium and potas-

sium, which means it’sgood for the heart. Celeryhelps prevent cancer andhigh blood pressure. Theleaves have even morenutrients than the ribs, soleave them on!

Chile con quesoAwesome with multi-

colored tortilla chips.

1 cup grated extra sharpcheddar

½ cup Velveeta, cut intopieces

½ cup whipping cream2 tablespoons choppedyellow onion

2 tablespoons diced tomato1 jalapeño, stemmed,seeded and diced

Tortilla chips

Put cheddar and Vel-veeta into a non-stick potor double boiler over lowheat and heat until cheesemixture is nearly melted.Add cream and whiskconstantly until hot andsmooth. Pour into servingdish and sprinkle withonions, tomatoes andjalapenos.

Bacon-wrappeddates stuffed withblue cheese

I made these for adiabetic cooking class.The students wanted asophisticated yet easyappetizer and these werea winner. Even if youaren’t watching carbsyou’ll like these. You canuse turkey bacon, as well.

12 pieces of bacon36 pitted dates1 cup crumbled blue cheese

Cut bacon into thirdsand fry until partiallycooked but not crisp. You

want to be able to wrapthem around the dates.Drain and keep warm. Cuta slit in center of date andfill with cheese. Wrapbacon around and securewith toothpick. Bake at375 degrees until bacon iscrisp, about 10-12 minutes.

Diabetic exchanges:1/2 starch, 1/2 fat for oneappetizer

CLARIFYING – PRESERVING ROASTEDTOMATOESI like to freeze mine and sometimes I’ll chop them up

after removing skins and sometimes I’ll leave them inhalves. If you want to leave the skins on them, I suggestchopping the tomatoes up before freezing. I just put abatch through my food processor and they look good.Remember, though, skins can be tough.Also if you like, when roasting them cut side up, sprinkle

on some herbs as well as olive oil, like minced thyme,garlic, basil or even dried Italian seasoning for anotherlayer of flavor. You can also season them with salt andpepper.

New legislation signedinto law gives the govern-ment more authority overinterstate moving compa-nies. This comes as thegovernment shut down 75moving companies lastyear. But problems withmoving companies con-tinue, so you need to be-ware.

Vicki Quinn needed tomove her mother fromFlorida to Colerain Town-ship and searched theInternet for moving com-panies. She and her sistercalled several companies.They picked one thatwasn’t exactly the cheap-

est, or themost ex-pensive.“Theyseemed tobe veryprofession-al, andthat’s kindof how wedecided onthem,”

Quinn said.They picked Great

American Van Lines out ofFort Lauderdale, Fla.“They were very helpful.The mover was incred-ible. He came, wrappedmom’s things. He taped

them and seemed to takegreat pride in how heloaded the truck,” Quinnsaid.

The cost of the movewas estimated to be $1,615,but after the moving truckarrived at the new homethe bill jumped to $2,370.Although packing costshad now been added,Quinn says she didn’t fullyunderstand how the billgot that high. She says themovers didn’t explain itand wouldn’t unload thetruck until they were paidin cash upfront. “Theyabsolutely refused. Theysaid, ‘We’re driving out of

here. We’ll go in storageand you’ll pay again for usto re-deliver’,” she said.

Quinn ended up payingin full and says she wasshocked at what she foundwhen they unloaded thetruck. There were morethan 20 items missing.“Pots and pans, some ofher dishes and chairswere missing. The ironicthing is we paid like $76 apiece to have the glasswrapped for the top of herfurniture and it didn’tarrive. So, we paid extraover and above for thatand three of the fivepieces aren’t here … it’s

lost. They don’t knowwhere it is,” Quinn said.

A spokesman for GreatAmerican Van Lines saysthey’re still looking for allthe items, adding this hasnever happened before.Quinn values the lostitems at about $5,000, butGreat American Van Linessays it’s only prepared topay her 60 cents perpound.

The company spokes-man says Quinn didn’twant full replacementvalue insurance andsigned papers to thateffect. Quinn says shenever was given that op-

tion and never turneddown full coverage. So Iasked the company for thepaperwork showing shedeclined coverage, buthave yet to receive it.

As a result, Quinn isfiling a complaint withfederal regulators fromthe U.S. Department ofTransportation’s FederalMotor Carrier SafetyAdministration.

You have probablyheard that the cost offood is expected to risenext year. You can doseveral things to reduceyour current grocery

expensesand hope-fullyprepareyourselffor theexpectedpriceincrease.

One ofthe easi-est thingsto do is toplan

ahead. That includesmaking a meal plan forthe week and making ashopping list based onthe ingredients you needto fulfill your plan.

Check weekly storesale ads and productcoupons in the newspa-per and online to findthe best prices for theitems you need. Howev-er, don’t buy somethingyou don’t have plans forjust because it’s on sale.Make sure sale itemsring up with the correctprice at checkout.

Avoid shopping hun-gry, in a hurry, or withothers, as all can in-crease impulse spend-ing.

Wisely choose yourstore. For some, conve-nience stores are themost accessible placesto shop; however, theytypically are one of themost expensive. It maybe more cost-effectiveto go to a larger store

once month to stock upon commonly used non-perishable items.

Instead of increasingprices, some companiesare reducing their pack-age sizes. This can in-crease your spending, asyou will need to replacethese items more often.When at the grocerystore, check the item’sprice per unit found onthe shelf tag. The priceper unit allows you toeasily compare productcosts based on a com-mon unit of measure.

The price may becheaper in a differentsize or brand. If yourgrocery store does notdisplay a product’s priceper unit, you can easilycalculate it by takingthe cost of the productand dividing it by itspackaging size. Bring-ing a small calculatormay be helpful.

Save your groceryreceipts. At the end ofthe week or month,record what was spentin different categoriesat the store. This willhelp you pinpoint areasyou might need to watchmore carefully. You maybe able to further re-duce spending by elim-inating things thataren’t necessities orlook for cheaper itemsduring your next shop-ping trip.

Frequent shallowwatering, such as thatprovided by sprinklingplants every couple ofdays, will promote a rootsystem that is shallow.

Such plants are verysusceptible to periods ofeven mild drought suchas a lack of water duringthe homeowner’s week-long vacation, not tomention periods of moreextreme drought. Lessfrequent but thoroughwatering is best.

However, for newlyseeded lawns, light, dailywatering is needed untilthe new grass comes up.And newly planted flow-ers may need wateredevery couple of daysuntil new roots form.

Most trees and shrubsrecommended for Ken-tucky will do well if theyreceive one inch of wa-ter (either rainfall orirrigation) every sevento 10 days. Such plantsstill do well when wa-tered approximatelyevery 10-14 days duringperiods of dry weather.Less established trees(less than two to threeyears from transplant-ing) should be wateredevery seven days, how-

Question: I have notbeen able to do muchwatering this summer.How much water doplants really need tosurvive?

Answer: Trees, espe-cially evergreens, oftensuffer for months oreven years after an ex-tended drought. Pro-

longedhot, dryweatheralsomakes theplantsmore sus-ceptible toattackfrom vari-ous plantdiseasesand harm-ful insects

such as borers, whichoften take a year or moreto actually kill the treeor even lead to symp-toms.

The roots of trees andshrubs are shallow, sincethey require oxygen.Even with large trees,over 90 percent of thefeeder roots are in thetop 12 inches of soil,which dries out rapidlyduring a drought.

The best time to wateris in the early morningbefore the heat of theday. There is less waterlost to evaporation atthat time. If that’s notpossible, just be sure theplant’s leaves have timeto dry off before night-fall, since prolonged leafwetness leads to seriousfoliage diseases.

ever. The dry periodbetween watering willencourage roots to go afew inches deeper intothe soil where water maybe available.

At each watering, anapplication of at leastone inch of water shouldbe made to the area un-der the drip line of thetree’s foliage. Wateringinfrequently but thor-oughly along with a 3-inch layer of organicmulch is the best insur-ance you can have fortrees and shrubs to sur-vive during dry condi-tions.

Annual and perennialflowers have less expan-

sive root systems thantrees and shrubs, butwill still develop deeperroots when wateredthoroughly and allowedto dry between watering.A thorough watering(one inch or more) on aweekly basis during dryweather should suffice.More frequent watering(one-half inch every twoto three days) will beneeded during the firstweek or two after trans-planting to ensure thatthe plants become wellestablished.

Before the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers built aseries of locks and dams,you could walk across theOhio River at Cincinnati.

“It might not be morethan one or two feet deepat this time of year,” saidJohn Cheek, maintenanceprogram manager of theGreat Lakes and OhioRiver division of theCorps. “You couldn’t navi-gate it very well, though,because it was full ofsnags and obstructionsand debris.”

The U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers is responsi-ble for making sure ev-erything from small plea-sure craft to large com-mercial barges can navi-gate the Ohio River well.Cheek explained how thelocks and dams operate ata meeting of the FlorenceRotary Club on Aug. 6.

The Corps is responsi-ble for maintenance ofthe 53 locks and dams atstrategic locations alongthe 981-mile stretch of theOhio River from Pitts-

burgh to Cairo, Ill. Thefederal agency beganclearing snags and ob-structions in the river asearly as 1834, Cheek said.

“They still had theproblem of low water” af-ter the riverbed wascleared, he said. “At thistime of year, boats stillcouldn’t navigate theOhio River.”

The Corps began build-ing locks and dams in the1870s as the transporta-

tion of coal escalated fol-lowing the Civil War. Thefirst lock was completedin 1875 at Pittsburgh andthe last was finished in1929 near Olmstead, Ill.

The original dams,many of which are still inplace, consist of wooden“wickets” or gates thatare raised from the riverfloor to hold back waterand create a pool to aidnavigation. The lock is achamber in which watercan be raised or loweredto enable a vessel to move

from the level of waterabove the dam to the levelbelow it or vice versa.

The original lockchambers were 600 feetlong. As the power of towvessels increased, how-ever, the string of bargeson some tows grew wellbeyond 600 feet. As a re-sult, towboat operatorswere forced to lockthrough the barges in sec-tions, sometimes backingup river traffic behindthem. So the Corps begana modernization programafter World War II to ex-pand the dams, Cheeksaid.

The Markland Locksand Dam near Warsaw isamong the more moderndams, which are made ofconcrete and steel withlarge steel gates loweredinto the river to hold backthe water. The MarklandDam has a 1,200-footchamber that will accom-modate 15 barges, as wellas a 600-foot auxiliarychamber.
