HONORING VETERANS B1 Last year Mary Ann Fedders of Florence came to see the Vietnam Moving Wall because a brother of a friend, Michael Bach of Cincinnati, had died in the war. Fedders said she came for “closure for me after all these years.” A Nov. 13 ceremony will honor Vietnam veterans at Highland Cemetery in Fort Mitchell. AMANDA HENSLEY/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER ERLANGER Students at Lloyd Memorial High School can receive free college credits, as long as they make the grade. This year, 22 students at the high school will complete col- lege courses, and if they get an A or B in the course, they won’t have to pay a cent for this por- tion of their college education. “We have students who will finish with 19 college credit hours,” said guidance counselor Chris Reeves. “That doesn’t in- clude what they have earned on a couple of A.P. (Advanced Placement) exams.” In the past four years, the dual enrollment program has saved Erlanger-Elsmere Schools parents a hefty chunk of change. According to statistics gathered by the district, parents will save $106,392 on college costs, provided their children receive a grade of B or better. To sign up, students need to have scored 20 or better on the ACT, be in their senior year and have a GPA of 3.25 or higher, Reeves said. This year, students involved will take 110 courses and could earn up to 341 credit hours, all in the comfort of the walls of the high school. “We have a classroom basi- cally, that is set aside for college classes,” Reeves said. “And they have class from 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Basically that covers our first two periods.” The program, which is through Northern Kentucky University, offers students the opportunity to take College Writing, Introduction to Speech, Art Appreciation, American Politics, College Pre-Calculus and College Algebra classes. Each class, except College Algebra, is worth three credit hours, Reeves said; College Al- gebra is worth four credit hours. Most institutions accept the credits, too. “It’s always up to the receiv- ing institution, but we are hav- ing very good luck with these classes being accepted at other places,” Reeves said. Although Torey Duncan, a senior, has not chosen which university she will attend to study zoology next fall, she said the courses have helped her pre- pare for higher education. “I think it is helping a lot be- cause I know what to expect when I go into college,” she said. The biggest difference be- tween college and high school classes, she said, is the level of participation. “It was easier in some as- pects,” she said. “With more free writing, based more on my opinion, based more than a doc- ument they require you to fill out.” Students earn free college credit By Libby Cunningham [email protected] INDEPENDENCE — Milestones Equestrian Achievement Center is a not-for-profit therapeutic horseback riding program for in- dividuals with disabilities, and it is not limited to children or adults. Thirteen years ago, Mary Lunn, started the program at a site in Campbell County, but moved to its present location on Riggs Road in the hills of Kenton County where they have 44 acres and a giant barn to accommodate 17 horses. “I have been an occupational therapist for years, and when my husband, Greg, decided he want- ed to raise horses, we came to the conclusion that we could combine the two careers,” said Lunn. “We started with Icelandic horses, and now 11 of our 17 horses are that breed. They are hardy, and can be outside 24/7 because their coats are so thick.” Many of the students at the center started when they were children, but are older now, and still reap the benefits of the part- nership with the horses. “We teach classes for 45 min- utes in the evenings on Tuesday through Thursday and mornings on Friday and Saturdays,” said Lunn. “We have five six-week programs every year.” Some of the benefits listed as physiological and behavioral are that the lessons teach trust through the rider and horse bond, problem solving, an increase in self confidence and self disci- pline, patience, enhanced deci- sion making skills, increased abil- ity to focus and stay on task, in- creased self esteem and pride, and a sense of accomplishment. “I think the biggest difference I see is in language,” said Lunn. “We have them say ‘Walk On’ to make the horse go, and they do it proudly. Also, the students are very motivated, because these are people who don’t have much control over their lives, and when they get on the horse, they can make it go, or stop – they have control, and they like that.” The horses are specially trained to make them virtually unflappable, conditioned to lights and noises, sudden movements and people all around them. “Horses are a flight animal,” said trainer Natalie Hall, who has been with Milestones several years. “Some of our riders re- quire two side walkers as well as one to lead the horse, and gener- ally horses don’t like to feel hemmed in. Our horses are condi- tioned to not react.” Lunn says they have many vol- unteers and they are the back- bone of the organization. Sue Brungs, from Western Hills, comes over for two hours a week, and her main job is a respiratory therapist. “I love horses and I love kids,” she said. “It is a very good fit for me. And yes, it is rewarding to see the changes in the students.” Sixteen-year-old Erin Koke of Cold Springs, who has cerebral palsy, says riding the horses is fun, but therapy is hard. She has been taking classes for 10 years and enjoys picking up on the dif- ferent personalities of the horses. Her mom is very pleased with her progress. “Erin comes one time a week, and this is her thing,” said Sheila, Erin’s mom. “She has never fallen off, although she has come close. It is a great thing for her, and she loves it. This is a very nice place that does good things for people.” Cheryl Bell has been bringing her son Patrick, who has been di- agnosed with autism, to Mile- stones for almost six years and thinks this is an important pro- gram. “We felt it was a good experi- ence for Patrick, and it helps with his social skills,” said Bell. “He likes it, too, he’ll talk and he usu- ally doesn’t. He communicates and relates to the horse, and it brings him out of his shell. It is good for him.” Milestones boosts riders’ confidence Milestones owner Mary Lunn walks with Atticus Corwin.

Oct. 26 was an eveningofsurprisesat thefirstpub-lic forum meeting for Ken-ton County’s new compre-hensive planning process,Direction 2030: Your Voice,Your Choice.

About 60 enthusiasticresidents attended themeeting to learn about re-cent demographic trends

revealed by U.S. Census da-ta and to contribute theirideas for the new plan. Theprocess for developing thenew comprehensive planbegan with this initialmeeting. Three more ofthese public forum meet-ings are scheduled beforetheendoftheyear indiffer-ent locations within theCounty to make it conve-nient for people to attend.

Dennis Gordon, NKAPCexecutive director, saidthese meetings are criticalbecause they provide greatopportunities for citizensto give their input to theplan. “Kenton County is go-ing to change over the next20 years; it’s one of those

few guarantees of life,” hesaid. “What we as citizensneed to do is help shape thechange so it benefits thecommunity’s overall quali-tyof life.That’swhatDirec-tion 2030 is all about…reaching out and engagingcitizens on how to shape theinevitable change that’scoming.”

Many people in the com-munity are evidently hear-ing that message. Con-cerned residents showedup to contribute to the proc-ess at the first meeting, in-cluding a large number ofmembers of the NorthernKentucky Tea Party, whohave in the past been out-spoken opponents ofNKAPC. They attended thepresentations, and partici-pated in the small groupdiscussions, sharing ideasabout the future of KentonCounty.

“Even though membersof this group had expressedopposition to NKAPC in thepast, I think it was greatthat we had a public foruminwhichtheycouldexpresstheir views to NKAPC. Af-ter all, the whole purpose ofthis exercise is to listen toall points of view,” said JayFossett, former city man-ager of Covington. “I washappy to see them join us atthe table to accomplish thisimportant work and help usmove forward in a con-structive manner to sup-

port this long-range plan-ning process.”

Many issues were dis-cussed at the meeting, in-cluding the addition ofparks and other greenspace; improving trafficconditions; making ourcommunities smaller andmore walkable; addingmore public transportationoptions; adding more walk-ing, cycling, running andhorseback trails; improv-ing access to education; us-ing social media to bringcommunities together; andmany other topics. Keypaddevices were used to get in-put from attendees fol-lowed by a small group dis-cussion.

Information and resultsare posted on the Direction2030 project website atwww.direction2030.org

Notably absent at themeeting however, weremembers of Generation Xwho were born between1965 and 1980 and the Mil-lennial generation, thoseyounger generation resi-dents who were born afterabout 1980. “We’d reallylike to hear from these

younger citizens,” com-mented Shayna Crowley, amember of Legacy, theyoung professionals groupthat is a part of the North-ern Kentucky Chamber ofCommerce. “People inthese generations are theones who are raising newfamilies and growing thecounty. Their input is criti-cal in creating a viablelong-range plan for thecounty and making it a bet-ter place for them and theirfamilies,” added SharmiliReddy,NKAPCseniorplan-ner.

A second round of meet-ings – scheduled for Janu-ary through March 2012 –will include a brief over-view of generational pref-erences from the firstmeetings. In addition, in-formation regarding theseneeds and how the countycan address them will alsobe discussed and attendeeswill work on prioritizationof the issues identified.

A third round of meet-ings – scheduled for Aprilthrough June 2012 – will in-clude an overview of com-munity needs and prioriti-

zation from the earliermeetings and a discussionabout goals needed toachieve this vision. In theJuly-August 2012 time-frame, a capstone meetingwill be held to discuss thefinal goals and objectivesand present a countywideconcept plan before theplan is sent to local legisla-tive bodies for adoption.

People who live and/orwork in Kenton County cangive their input by partici-pating in these public meet-ings, and also by contribut-ing to an online forumcalled Open City at http://www.opencity.me or byjoining Direction 2030s on-line community on Face-book at http://www.face-book.com/Direction2030.The schedule of publicmeetings can be found on-line atwww.Direction2030.org.

VERONA — The last jock-ey to win horse racing's Tri-ple Crown told a crowd ofpeople he was humbled ashe looked at the sign for theroad that will now bear hisname.

"I'm humbled and hon-oredtogetthesignageupona road I take my kids toschool on, that I went toschool on back in1972," saidSteve Cauthen at the dedi-cation ceremony Friday forthe naming of a six milestretch of Ky. 14(Verona-Mudlick Road) the SteveCauthen Highway. "I usedride the bus on the sameroad."

In 1978, Cauthen at theage of 18 rode Affirmed tovictories in the KentuckyDerby, Preakness and Bel-mont Stakes, becoming theyoungest and the last jock-ey to date to accomplish thefeat. He was the AssociatedPressandSportsIllustratedSportsman of the Year in1977.

Now six miles of Ky. 14between the Verona inter-change of Interstate 71 andan overpass in Walton offInterstate 75 will bear hisname.

Cauthen lives in Veronaand will drive his road al-most daily.

"This is my home,"Cauthen said. "I'm fromhere. We moved back herewhenIwas5yearsold.Iwasliterally raised here. As Isaid, I tooktheschoolbusonthis road that is now namedafter me. It's neat."

State Rep. Addia Wuchn-er, R-Florence, introducedthe bill passed this year bythe General Assembly to re-name the road.

"Not only did he claim aTriple Crown, it has been 32years - it's been 32 attempts- to achieve that accom-plishment," Wuchner said."There will be a future Tri-ple Crown winner I'm sure,but in 32 years, not only was

he the youngest, but it's stilla distinction he holds. Hewas also a distinguishedjockey all over the world."

Patti Montoya, wife offormer Bengals player MaxMontoya and Hebron resi-dent, suggested to Wuchner

to name the road afterCauthen. She said the Wal-ton-Verona area neededsome visual commemora-tion of Cauthen.

"I was a kid in CaliforniamyselfwhenhewontheTri-ple Crown and I thought,'You know, he's got to have asign,'" Montoya said. "I justthink he's more than a greatjockey. He's a dad. You seehim with his children. Hemeansa lot toourcommuni-ty, and I thought a signwould be perfect to honorhim. And I hope there'd bemore to come. I'd love to seea bronze statute at some

point in time with him andAffirmed."

Cauthen's Triple Crownvictory still reverberates inthe memories of many localresidents who knew himwhen he grew up in Walton.

"We were at a horse showat the time, and everybodywent crazy," said Warsawresident Joe Kohsin, whosedaughters went to schoolwith Cauthen and whotrains and boards horses."They had it on the radio.Everybody knew him. Hewas in my 4-H club."

Kohsin and others saidCauthen has done a lot for

his hometown and made thearea proud.

"Steve's an icon to Wal-ton" said Walton MayorWayne Carlisle. "I mean hehas been since he was 18-years-old. He brought a lotof recognition to Walton."

With autumn’s arrival and deer huntingseason pending, motorists will see in-creased movement of wildlife throughoutKentucky.

November is traditionally the heart ofdeer migration and mating season creatinggreater potential for deer-car crashes.

Boone County is No.1in the state in deer/auto collisions, according to a KentuckyState Police listing.

Boone had 768 collisions between 2006and 2010, averaging 154 collisions a year.

Campbell County had 536 over fiveyears,withanaverageof107deercollisions.

Kenton County had 352 collision overfive years, averaging 70 per year.

Lt. David Jude, KSP spokesperson, saysmotorists need to take extra precautionswhen driving in the fall.

“It is extremely important to recognizethis ever-present risk, especially at thistime of year when nearly 50 percent of allcollisions with deer occur,” Jude said.

“Last year, we had 3,084 deer-related col-lisions in Kentucky with four of those beinga fatal collision,” added Jude.

AccordingtotheNationalHighwayTraf-ficSafetyAdministration,therearenearly1million car crashes with deer each year na-tionwide.

State Farm Insurance Co. states that theaveragedeer/automobilecollisionresults inapproximately $3,000 per claim for repairsand injuries. Based on a recent study by thecompany, one in 162 Kentucky drivers hasthe likelihood of a collision with a deer.

Jude offered the following tips for driv-ers:

» Be extra cautious in the early morningand evening hours. Deer are most activeduring these low-light periods when hu-mans see worst and reaction time is slow.

» Stay alert when driving through aknown deer-crossing zone. If you seeone deer, look for more. They oftentravel in herds.

» Drive at a moderate speed,especially on roads borderingwoodlands, parklands, golfcourses and streams. Howev-er, remember that many deercrashes occur on busy high-ways near cities.

» Use high beam head-lights if there is no oncom-ingtraffic.Highbeamswillreflect in the eyes of deeron or near the roadway,providing increased driverreaction time.

» Upon seeing a deer,immediately slow down.Do not swerve -- this couldconfuse the deer aboutwhere to run. It could alsocause you to lose control andhit a tree or another car. It isgenerally safer to hit the deerratherthanrunningofftheroador risking injury to other motor-ists.

» Deer are often unpredictable,especially when faced with blindingheadlights, loud horns and fast-mov-ing vehicles. Don't expect them to staywhere they are. They can dart in front ofyou at the last moment, stop in the middle ofthe road, cross quickly and return to theroad or even move toward an approachingvehicle.

» Deer whistles on cars provide littlehelp and blowing the car horn doesn't al-ways solve the problem. Blowing the hornmay cause them to move, but not necessar-ily in the direction you want.

» Always wear your safety belt. Histori-cally, most people injured or killed in deer/auto collisions were not properly re-strained.

Circuit court judges serving KentonCounty participated in the 2011 KentuckyCircuit Judges College that took placeOct. 9-12 in Frankfort. The Administra-tive Office of the Courts provided the ju-dicial education program for the state’sCircuit Court and Family Court judges.

Kenton Circuit Court Judges GregoryBartlett, Martin J. Sheehan and PatriciaM. Summe and Family Court Judges LisaOsborne Bushelman and Christopher J.Mehling attended the judges college.

The judges received a case law updateand attended sessions on domestic vio-lence, digital evidence and investigation,social media’s effect on the courts, courtinterpreters, and Kentucky Drug Court.The college also offered a course on e-Warrants, the electronic warrant man-agement system that makes processingwarrants more efficient for judges andlaw enforcement.

“Technology is dramatically improv-

ing the way courts do business and thiscollege devoted several sessions to its im-pact on the justice system,” said CircuitCourt Judge Paul F. Isaacs, who servesBourbon, Scott and Woodford countiesand is the newly elected president of theKentucky Association of Circuit Judges.“The Kentucky State Police demonstrat-ed how they’re investigating crimes thatpeople commit through computers andother electronic devices, several judgesshared their experiences with socialmedia and we received training on the e-Warrants system. These courses weregreat opportunities to learn about digitaladvances that apply to the work of CircuitCourt.”

Circuit judges also participated incourses on foreclosure conciliation pro-grams in Kentucky, search and seizure,and the implementation of House Bill 463.HB 463 took effect in June 2011 and is themost comprehensive overhaul of Ken-

tucky’s penal code in more than 30 years.All three branches of government sup-ported the legislation, which is designedto curb the cost of incarceration withoutcompromising public safety. CircuitCourt is the court of general jurisdictionthat hears civil matters involving morethan $5,000, capital offenses and felonies,divorces, adoptions, termination of pa-rental rights, land dispute title cases andcontested probate cases.

Sessions specifically for Family Courtjudges covered the Interstate Compact onthe Placement of Children, parental relo-cation, and child fatalities in Kentucky.The college also offered a course on han-dling cases involving children who haveexperienced traumatic events. FamilyCourt is a division of Circuit Court and hasprimary jurisdiction in cases involvingfamily issues, including divorces, adop-tion, child support, domestic violence andjuvenile status offenses.

Officials attend judges college

FRANKFORT — Drug enforcementorganizations and prosecutors areasking the Kentucky General Assem-bly to make pseudoephedrine – anover-the-counter drug needed to pro-duce methamphetamine – availableonly by prescription in the common-wealth.

Advocates say the change wouldensure products like Sudafed thatcontain pseudoephedrine get into theright hands instead of being pur-chased for meth labs through loop-holes in existing law. Current law re-quires that pseudoephedrine prod-ucts be kept behind the counter, thatidentification be presented for pur-chase, that all purchases be logged,and that purchases be limited to 9grams every 30 days.

But the law is reportedly being cir-cumvented by meth producers andhelpers called “smurfers” who travelto different pharmacies and buy oneor two boxes of product at a time toavoid the purchase limit.

Commonwealth’s Attorney JackieSteele, who serv9es Laurel and Knoxcounties, told the Interim Joint Com-

mittee on Judiciary Oct. 7 thatsmurfers are a real problem.

The nine-gram limit “will stopone person from buying, but it

doesn’t stop someone elsefrom buying,” Steele said.

Only two states, Oregonand Mississippi, have lawsrequiring a prescriptionto buy products contain-ing pseudoephedrine.Officials in both stateshave reported signifi-cant drops in meth labbusts since their lawstook effect in the pastfive years.

Kentucky lawmak-ers considered legisla-tion during the 2011Regular Session thatwould have mandated aprescription for pseu-

doephedrine and othermeth precursors, but

the bill – Senate Bill 45 –did not pass into law. Leg-

islation on the issue is ex-pected to reappear during

the 2012 Regular Session.Kentucky now has the

fourth-largest number of methlabs incidents in the country,

Steele said. The number of actualmeth labs is much higher, he ex-

plained. In Laurel County, Steele saidthe discovery of 165 meth labs wascounted as one incident because thelabs were found in one location.

Law enforcement organizationsjoined Steele before the committee inrequesting that pseudoephedrine beavailable only by prescription since,they say, the current system is notworking. “We need some type of legis-lation to help us do our job,” saidMark Burden of the Kentucky StatePolice.

Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, D-Louis-ville, asked if any other compoundsbesides pseudoephedrine need to becontrolled. Steele said the pseudoe-phedrine is the only drug absolutelyrequired to make meth, without sub-stitution.

“I’m always (concerned) thatsomething else can be turned intometh,” Marzian said. “They’re so in-ventive and resourceful.”

Other lawmakers questionedwhether a prescription requirementwould be effective. Sen. Dan Seum, R-Louisville, mentioned a report out ofOregon that said more than 80 percentof Oregon law enforcement calledmeth their area’s “greatest drugthreat” after that state’s 2006 pre-scription requirement had been in ef-fect for four years.

“I guess my question is if we’re go-ing to schedule a drug, does it actually… solve the problem,” said Seum.Steele clarified there are two differ-ent problems at play: drug abuse, andmeth labs. Meth labs can be reducedwith a prescription requirement be-cause pseudoephedrine is required tomake meth, he explained.

A new collaboration witheight high schools from the Dio-cese of Covington will promoteand empower drama and artsdepartments.

The Diocesan Arts Project,as it’s been dubbed, will strive tosupport all the schools in termsof keeping down costs whilebuilding up the quality of all theproductions. Through publica-tions and various marketingstrategies, the public will be in-formed of upcoming theatricaland artistic events throughoutthe Diocese of Covington. In ad-dition, schools will share ideas,costumes, props, set pieces andmany other vital elements tomake all the productions better.

“It has become a pet projectfor myself to see the arts getrecognized, much like the ath-letics get recognized all thetime,” said Newport CentralCatholic Theater Director Ke-van Brown, who initiated theproject. “There are some ex-tremely talented people in all ofour shows who deserve some ofthisrecognitionaswell. Itwouldbe great for people to see thatthe catholic schools in NorthernKentucky are strong in the arts,as well as athletics and academ-ics.”

High schools currently in-volvedincludeNewportCentralCatholic, Bishop Brossart, St.Henry, Notre Dame Academy,Holy Cross, St. Patrick, VillaMadonna and Covington Catho-lic.

Jodie Meyn, English and dra-ma teacher and director at VillaMadonna Academy HighSchool, is excited about “shar-ing the best practices and phys-ical resources that can enhanceproductions easily and effi-ciently.”

“This will improve the artsprogram by allowing our stu-dents to realize that the smallschool experience doesn’t meanthatwearealone.Directorswhoare working overtime and as anaddition to a full class load willalso be able to be more efficientwith their time, their resourcesand their volunteers,” she said.“We are a diocese, and we needto use that as our commonstrength not just for resourcesbut to give students the chanceto see themselves within a big-ger framework, as part of a big-ger family. That’s what the artsare -bigfamilies thatencouragegrowth, exploration and cooper-ation.”

Students will also have an ac-tive role in the program. Castmembers and other student vol-unteers will actively promoteother schools’ productions byattending the performancesand providing positive feed-back to be published on the In-ternet and in local media publi-

cations.“For the students, it will be a

great way to make new con-tacts,” Brown said. “They willalso be able to learn new skillssuch as writing reviews and in-terviewing cast members.Above all though, it’s a greatway for our schools to supporteach other in a non-competitiveway. It seems that right now,aside from a few religious cere-monies, our students only areexposed to each other in an ‘usversusthem’setting.Inthispro-gram, we are all on one team.”

At the end of the year, theschools will hold a showcase ofall the talent seen throughoutthe year. This event will includesongs, scenes and art displaysfrom all the schools. Details ondates, location and other specif-ics will be announced in the up-coming weeks.

Initial funding is comingfrom St. Joseph Drama Club inCold Spring, a live theater pro-duction group beginning its35th year. Their donation will gotowards the end of the yearshowcase, marketing materialsand getting the initiative off theground, Brown said. Opportuni-ties for further funding andsponsorships are also available.For information on sponsor-ships and funding, contact Ke-van Brown [email protected].

“We believe in fostering thedevelopment of and supportingexisting performing artsgroups in Northern Kentucky atall levels: Grade school, middleschool, high school, college andcommunity theater,” Calhounsaid. “This project is a conduitto additional groups, allowingus to further leverage our as-sets and hopefully benefit fromcollaborating with them in re-turn. We see it as a type of stew-ardship, ‘paying it forward’ ifyou will. When St. Joe’s DramaClub was younger, we appreci-ated the guidance and assis-tance of veteran theater groups,now we want to do the same forothers. This project is the per-fectopportunitytodothat,noth-ing like this has existed in thepast.”

Calhoun said theater groupsand young people should havethe best opportunities possiblewhen they engage in a project.

“Time and effort spent in de-velopment and rehearsal can belong and challenging,” he said.“Actors and artists don’t re-ceive the recognition and ap-plause until the end, and eventhenit’sonlyforafractionofthetotal time they’ve invested. So,their efforts deserve the great-est chance for success that ispossible. And hopefully they’llrepeat their success again in thefuture.”

Jagdish Bhatia, 70, a retiredprofessor living in Villa Hills,says he’s lived a “vibrant” life –a life he wants to share with oth-ers.

He lives out this desirethrough his new book “FromGujja (Pakistan) to Villa Hills(USA) Via Karnal (India): Auto-biography of a Teacher: A Suc-cess Story.”

“It’s an interesting story,”said friend Don Galli, who as-sisted Bhatia with typing his

memoir. “It’s his autobiogra-phy, he’s had an interesting andunusual life that I think peoplewill enjoy reading about.”

In his book Bhatia writesfrom his experience and drawsthe conclusion to a “sutra – rulefor living life.”

His journey began in 1940 ina village called Gujja in Paki-stan. His family was uprootedfrom their home and startedtheir journey to India becausethey were Hindu. They landed

in Karnal.Bhatia contracted smallpox

and his father abandoned thefamily. Bhatia was isolated be-cause of the contagious disease.

“I was kept in a morgue forfor 14 days,” he said. “No onebelieved that I would survive,and I survived. I would not be anormal person. My detractorswere wrong.”

Bhatia was able to rise abovethe scars due to his mother’slove and strength.

In the ‘70s he worked as a sci-ence professor and married hiswife, Kiran. They have beenmarried for 40 years.

He arrived in the UnitedStates in March 1981.

“From Gujja to Vila Hills hasbeen the indescribable flight ofprinciples of living right,” hesaid.

His academic career was cutshort due to Parkinson’s Dis-ease. Bhatia, however, is stillmaking his mark on the world –

still sharing his life with others.In retirement, his interests

have moved from science ofchemistry to the art and scienceof living. He’s also the author of“From Nowhere to Now Here”and a book published in Hindiwhose title is translated as “Iand My Value System.” His newbook relates to living in spiritu-ality. He describes his “experi-ments” with life and draws con-clusions for the art and scienceof living.

Secretary of StateElaine Walker has kickedthe annual essay and slo-gan contest executed byher office up a notch forstudents who enter for2012.

Implemented by a lawpassed by the KentuckyGeneral Assembly in 1988,the contest is designed toemphasize the importanceof citizen participation, theinfluence of an informedelectorate on elections andto offset the wane of civicseducation instruction at

the time in Kentuckyschools.

This year marks the ad-dition of new modes of ex-pression for students touse, expands ways technol-ogy may be employed andincreases award money foressay winners. Besidesjudges with expertise ineach category, the submis-sions will be up for popularvote via the Secretary ofState’s website and You-Tube.

“Young Kentuckianspresently in middle or highschool have never known aworld without the Internetand information technol-ogy,” Walker said. “Social

media have become stan-dard communication toolsfor most students – as com-mon as the telephone ingenerations past. For near-ly 25 years, the contest en-tries have been standardwriting.

More than half of Ken-tucky's 2010 class incurreddebt to pay for college andthe number of those whoborrowed grew by 4 per-centage points over theprevious year.

While 54 percent of stu-dents who graduated withfour-year or more degreeshad student debt in 2009, 58percent did in 2010, accord-ing to data released Thurs-day by the Project on Stu-dent Debt. The averagedebt of graduates alsogrew slightly, from $19,112to $19,375.

Kentucky ranks 43rdfor student loan debtamong last year's gradu-ates. The national averagewas $25,250, up from$24,000 in 2009.

This uptick in debtcomes at a time when theunemployment rate fornew college graduates rosefrom 8.7 percent in 2009 to9.1 percent in 2010, accord-ing to the report.

"Some thought the jumpwould be even higher be-cause of the economicdownturn, but increasedgrant aid helped at leastpartially offset lower fam-ily incomes and higher tu-itions," said report authorMatthew Reed in a pressrelease.

The state with the high-est average graduatingdebt was New Hampshire,

while Utah was lowest.The report does not in-

clude numbers for privatefor-profit colleges becauseso few of these schools pro-vide the necessary data.The most recent availablefederal data show that na-tionally, 96 percent of grad-uates from for-profit four-year colleges had loans,and they borrowed 45 per-cent more than graduatesfrom other types of four-year colleges.

"How you borrow, notjust how much you borrow,really matters," said Lau-ren Asher, president of theInstitute for College Ac-cess & Success, the inde-pendent, nonprofit organi-zation which sponsored thereport. "If you have federalstudent loans, Income-Based Repayment, unem-ployment deferment, andother options can help youmanage your debt even inthese tough times."

"If you're just startingthe college process, it's im-portant to know that stick-er prices don't say muchabout what college willreally cost you," Asher said.

There are tools to helpstudents shop around, Ash-er said. Since Oct. 29, col-leges are required to post"net price calculators" ontheir websites and can helpstudents make smart deci-sions, she said.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Following the10th anniver-sary of Sept. 11, 2001,Northern Kentucky Uni-versity has joined a nation-wide grassroots effort tohonor American servicemen and women who paidthe ultimate sacrifice inIraq and Afghanistan dur-ing the past decade.

On Veterans Day, Fri-day, Nov. 11, campus andcommunity volunteers atmore than 175 college anduniversities in all 50 stateswill read the names of the6,200-plus casualties of Op-eration Enduring Freedom(OEF) and Operation IraqiFreedom (OEF), now calledOperation New Dawn.

NKU will begin its Re-membrance Day Roll Callreading starting a 6:30 a.m.from the University Centerbalcony. Doug Winford,president of NKU V.E.T.S.,will provide opening re-marks.

“The reading of individ-ual names is very poignantbecause it emphasizes thesignificance of each andevery life lost,” he said.

At 11:45 a.m., BillSchwartz, former presi-dent of V.E.T.S., will leadthe student veterans in aflag raising and wreath lay-ing ceremony near Foun-ders Hall.

“Like the names in-scribed at the 9-11 Memori-

al in New York, each of thefallen deserve to be re-membered for their sacri-fice,” he said.

A veteran reception willbe held at the UniversityCenter Otto Budig Theaterfollowing the ceremony. Auniform and memorabiliadisplay will be presentedby 2006 NKU alumnus Rob-ert Snow. A remembranceslide show will highlightthe names and faces of thefallen. Another video andslideshow showcasingV.E.T.S. will also be on dis-play. Refreshments andhors d‘oeuvres will be pro-vided.

At 2 p.m. each campusacross the nation partici-

pating in RemembranceDay National Roll Call willobserve a minute of si-lence.

From 2:15-4 p.m., therewill be a military lecture inBudig Theater conductedby Dr. Francois LeRoy, ex-ecutive director of theNKU International Educa-tion Center and associateprofessor of history, titled“Honoring Veterans in theStates and Around theWorld.” LeRoy will reflecton the history of VeteransDay and how the UnitedStates and other countrieshonor their veterans.

Anyone interested inpledging to commit to areading of names may do so

at http://veterans.nku.edu.The reading of the nameswill take approximatelyeight hours.

Dave Merriss, chair-man of NKU’s Veteran Ad-vocacy Committee, empha-sized that the reading andother Veteran’s Day activ-ities are in no way political.

“We only want to rallythe campus and communi-ty to send a powerful mes-sage to the troops current-ly serving that their peersand family have not forgot-ten their sacrifices, orthose of the fallen,” he said.

The Remembrance DayNational Roll Call is spon-sored nationally by the Vet-erans Knowledge Commu-

nity of NASPA Student Af-fairs Administrators inHigher Education. NASPAis a 12,000-member associ-ation for the advancement,health and sustainability ofstudent affairs profession-als. The Veterans Knowl-edge Community (VKC)mission is to advocate forbest practices to help stu-dent veterans transition tocollege and succeed.

ERLANGER — The St. HenryDistrict High School girls crosscountry team didn't have the ser-vices of senior Ashley Svec, the2010 Class 1A Region 4 champion.

The Crusaders did have fiveseniors out of seven runners atthe starting line Nov. 5, when the2011 regional meet kicked off atSherman Elementary School inGrant County. They knew theyhad to step up to deliver anotherregional title to the program.

Veteran senior Lindsey Hin-ken stepped her way to a personalbest 18 minutes, 39.55 seconds towin the individual championship.She won by 36 seconds and re-corded the fastest time of anyfemale in the three classes raced

that day at Sherman.More importantly, Hinken lift-

ed St. Henry to a five-point winover Brossart in the team stand-ings. St. Henry scored 55 points to60 for Brossart. Villa Madonnawas right there at 64 points inthird place.

“It was great weather, goodcompetition,” Hinken said. “Allthe seniors knew that we had toperform our best. This is our lastregionals ever. They've done anunbelievable job.”

Freshman Sam Hentz finishedfourth for St. Henry. Senior Jack-ie Gedney was 14th, senior AllysaBrady was 19th, junior SydneyPitts23rd,seniorKirstiRyan24thand senior Katie Mauntel 26th.

The St. Henry boys team alsorelied on veterans to win the re-gional title with 35 points, a 47-

point win over second-place New-port Central Catholic. The Cru-saders will go for their 10thstraight team state championshipthis week.

“We've been running tired a lotthis year,” said head coach ErnieBrooks. “We train and train and alot of times we race tired, butthat's what we want to do, comeinto the regionals and state cham-pionships as good in shape as youcan get.”

Wolfer, a junior, won his firstindividual regional title in 16:15.Wolfer has won several races thisfall as he has stepped up to be-come the top Crusader this year.

“We just had to go out there,show the region what we got andprepare for state,” Wolfer said.“We're excited. We're confident,but we know there are a lot of

teams who are out there trying tocatch us. We'll go out and do whatwe do best, run hard and try towin.”

The other four Crusaders inthe team score are seniors. Bren-dan Dooley was sixth, CameronRohmann seventh, Zach Haackeninth and Nathan Mark 12th.Eighth-grader John Hannon was15th a week after winning themiddle school state champion-ship. Senior Frank Bruni finished19th.

They'll look for a big finish andthe 10-peat Saturday. The meet isNov.12atKentuckyHorseParkinLexington.

“We've got to just go in andlook at it as the next step,” Brookssaid. “It just happens to be the fi-nal step. Go out, do our jobs andlet the chips fall where they may.”

Crusaders sweep cross country regionalsBy James [email protected]

1A regional champ LindseyHinken runs the Nov. 5 race.

The Holy Cross Indians (8-3)have found the edge that headcoach Bruce Kozerski was lookingfor in his players all season.

Quarterback Kyle Fullerturned in a nearly flawless perfor-mance, completing 7-of-9 passesfor 193 yards and four touchdownsin a 68-0 win over Carroll CountyNov. 4. Eric Walker caught fourpasses for 150 yards and twoscores, as the Indians rolled up 527yards of total offense. Kozerskiwas pleased to see his team playwith swagger, starting with the41-0 victory over Holmes in theregular season finale.

“We crossed a threshold lastweek and started playing with atti-tude,” Kozerski said. “Not cocki-ness, but attitude.”

The Indians face undefeatedOwen County at 7:30 p.m. Friday,Nov. 11, in the second round of theClass 2A playoffs. At this point inthe season, the opponent and theopponent’s record is irrelevant.

“We worry about fixing our-

selves,” Kozerski said. “If we dowhat we’re supposed to, things willtake care of themselves. We wantto do what we’ve been trained to doand if we do that, we shouldn’t feelany pressure.”

Lloyd 13,Walton-Verona 0

Lloyd (5-6) avenged a regular-season loss and notched a roadplayoff win in the first round of theClass 2A playoffs.

After surrendering 42 points tothe Bearcats Sept. 9, the Jugger-nauts defense showed how far ithas come this season by pitchingthe shutout.

“We’re always counting on ourdefense,” Lloyd head coach JoshStratton said. “We missed 31 tack-les the first time we played them.We changed some things up and puta few new wrinkles in on defense.”

Quarterback Dexter Smiththrew for 195 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns. MitchellBrooks and Quentin Nunn hauled

in the touchdowns for Lloyd, whichfaces Newport Central Catholic inthe second round Nov. 11. The first-round win was a mild upset, but awin over the defending statechamp would be a monumental sur-prise.

“We’ve got a lot of momentum,”said Stratton. “NewCath is thestandard in Class 2A. Our kids real-ly get up to play them.”

Covington Catholic 38,Rowan County 7

The Colonels (9-2) struggledearly, before dominating the sec-ond half.

CovCath’s defense bent but didnot break early, forcing three firsthalf turnovers including two in thered zone. The offense finally got ontrack in the second half, as GabeGray rushed for the final two of histhree scores.

CovCath travels to AshlandBlazer (9-2) Nov. 11 for its Class 4Asecond-round game.

Lafayette 28, DixieHeights 14

The Colonels played withoutstarting quarterback Zeke Pike,serving his second different sus-pension of the season. Wide receiv-er Goose Cohorn moved behindcenter, but could not lead the un-dermanned Colonels to victory inClass 6A. Dixie Heights fell behind28-0 at halftime. The Colonels fin-ish the season 3-8.

Franklin County 56, Scott 21Senior Brandon Stamper scored

on an 80-yard touchdown receptionfrom sophomore quarterback BenOsborne in the first quarter tokeep the Eagles in the game. Unde-feated Franklin County pulledaway after that, taking a 49-7 leadinto halftime of the Class 5A con-test. Osborne and senior RyanSowder added late touchdown runsfor Scott, which finishes the sea-son 4-6.

PARK HILLS — They en-joyed playing with a lead allyear.

So when the Notre DameAcademy girls soccer teamscored the first goal of thegame in the state champion-ship final, the Pandas lettheir emotions fly.

The one goal was all theyeventually needed as theybeat Sacred Heart 2-0 to wintheir second state champi-onshipinteamhistoryNov.5at Dunbar High School inLexington.

“It's awesome. I don'tknow whether to cry orlaugh. It hasn't sunk in yet,”senior Chandler Clark said.

Notre Dame head coachSara Raaker-McSorley said,“I'm so happy for the girls.They deserve every bit ofhappiness; that's the bestpart of it all.”

Clark, a senior, providedthe winning goal 25 minutesinto the game, going high inthe air to head in a cornerkick from senior CorinneBrown for her 21st goal ofthe season. Clark said abouthalf her goals have comefrom corner kicks this year.

“We've scored more onset pieces this year than wehaveinprobablythepastsixyears combined,” Raaker-McSorley said. “They justknow how to connect.”

It was the first goal forNotre Dame against the Val-kyries in their last threemeetingsinthestatetourna-ment.Thatincludedthe2009statefinal,inwhichninecur-rent Pandas participated in.

“Last year it really didn'taffect us a lot, but this yearwe really felt it because weknewthiswasourlastoppor-tunity to make our final

statement as a team here,”Clark said. “It would havebeennicetobeatanyone,butthey are such a great pro-gram.”

After the 1-0 start, NotreDame played well with thelead, allowing just one shoton goal.

“That first goal washuge,” Raaker-McSorleysaid. “Our team changes dy-namics when we score agoal, so it was huge to get agoal under our belts.”

The team trusted its de-fense, with junior goalkeep-erOliviaVoskuhlandtheall-senior back line of Alex Lon-nemann, Megan Miller,

Brandi Schwartz and Co-rinne Brown. The Pandas al-lowed just 15 goals all year,five during a 16-game win-ning streak to end the sea-son.

“ThisisthebestteamI'veever played with, especiallymy defenders. It's a greatfeeling,” Voskuhl said.“They're the reason why Ihave shutouts.”

NDA scored an insur-ance goal with 11 minutesleft, with senior Ellyn Abd-elghany knocking in a re-boundshotfromcloserangefor her11th goal.

“We knew we had to con-trolourgamefromthestart,

pressure them,” said seniorSydney Scheben, the team'sleadingscorerwith24goals.“It was great to get on theboard,butweknewweneed-ed to get another one be-cause we knew they wouldcome out and play hard.”

When the clock hit all ze-roes, the Pandas rushed thefield in jubilation and piledon each other. Nine of themwere on the 2009 state run-ner-up team that lost to Sa-cred Heart in penalty kicks.Many of them saw NDA'sfirst state title win in 2004 asyoungsters.

“It's great to end my sen-ior year on a win,” Schebensaid. “It's something I'll nev-er forget.”

The title was sweet fortheheadcoach,whoheldandkissed her 2-month-old sonThomas Joseph as the teamprepared to leave the stadi-um. Raaker-McSorley, whowas head coach for the firststate title, missed the firsttwo weeks of this season af-ter giving birth.

She will miss her eightseniors, Abdelghany,

Brown, Clark, Miller, Sche-ben, Schwartz, Belle Leinin-ger, Kaitlin McLeod, LexieNageleisen, Meghan Reedand Katie Whitehouse.

“These seniors are spe-cial, both on and off thefield,” the coach said. “Theybring great character to ourteam.”

Dear friends and neighbors,we need your help!

The city of Independence ison the verge of a major first stepin determining the direction offuture growth and the landscapeof our city.

There will be a public meet-ing at Simon Kenton cafeteria at7-9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14. Theproposed changes are based onpublic input over the past sever-al years. Please take the time toattend and let us know whetheror not you agree with the direc-tion.

All too often city officialsonly get negative feedback fromoutside interests or a vocal mi-nority that are opposed tochange. This great city belongsto all of us. Let’s work towardmaking it what we want it to be.

Many of you may not beaware, but a steering committeeof your fellow residents and lo-

cal businesspeople havespent the past18 monthsworking on up-dating the city’szoning code.This effort is adirect result ofthe 2007 SmallArea Study thatwas adopted toplan for our fu-ture.

The study process heavily re-lied upon public input to deter-mine what residents wanted tosee. The primary theme of theresponses was that we wanted tomaintain that “rural feel” or“small town atmosphere,” whilestill offering a good selection ofservices.

The study concluded the cityhas quite an asset with the histor-ic downtown area, which should

be built upon. Some open spacesshould be protected, while stillallowing opportunity for devel-opment.

It also concluded commercialdevelopment should be focused,rather than spread out “willy nil-ly.”

Trying to encourage a viabledowntown, vital commercialareas, and the population densityto support it, while still preserv-ing open spaces and walkabilitypresents a challenge. In addi-tion, the existing Independencezoning does not permit many ofthe recommended land uses.

Through countless hours ofhard work with professionalplanners, however, the steeringcommittee has arrived at draftsof new zoning ordinances whichwill facilitate the goals of theplan in the heart of our city. De-tails can be found in ordinancedrafts at (http://www.nkapc.org/

organization/long-range-plan-ning/studies/independence-zon-ing-code-update.aspx ) or at thecity building.

The zoning affects the down-town Courthouse Square area,the intersection of McCullumand New Ky. 17 and the areas tothe north and south of McCullumRoad. Despite this relativelysmall area, we really believe itcan have a positive impact on theentire city.

The proposed CourthouseSquare ordinances promote“mom and pop” type businessesand public gathering places,while preserving the architec-tural styles that are reminiscentof older small towns. The “Gate-way” area at New 17 and McCul-lum is intended for cohesive,mixed use development.

Finally, the most challengingpart was encouraging a core pop-ulation to support local business

in this area, but not doing this atthe expense of the open spacesthat are such a strong part of ourrural feel. Single Family Conser-vation Development allows a de-veloper to build the same num-ber of lots/units in a develop-ment, while still maintainingsubstantial green/open spaces.This innovative style certainlyisn’t for everyone (the zone ap-plies to less than 1 percent of thecity). It is, however, well suitedfor patio home, condominiumand other types of development,which appeal to some of the fast-est growing population seg-ments (empty nesters, seniors,households without children).

The point is, please come outon Monday and let us know howyou feel.

Each day, more than 160Northern Kentucky Health De-partment employees serve ourcommunities. They inspect res-taurants for food safety. Theyprovide childhood immuniza-tions. They investigate diseaseoutbreaks. They work to makechanges to combat obesity andlung cancer. They place dentalsealants on children’s teeth toprevent cavities. They work be-hind the scenes, preparing for di-sasters or making sure theHealth Department operatessmoothly.

It would take me a long time todescribe all the services thehealth department provides topromote health, prevent dis-eases, death, and disability, andprotect all of us from health haz-ards in the environment.

Our staff is dedicated to thismission, even in the challengingtimes in which we live and work.Like many public organizations,the Health Department has expe-rienced declining funding. At thesame time, the need for the

Health Depart-ment has in-creased, as lo-cal families alsostruggle withdifficult eco-nomic times.

The land-scape of publichealth itself isalso shifting.National healthcare reformaims to refine

the roles that public health playsin our community. We’ll be work-ing more closely with existingpartners and building relation-ships with new ones as we navi-gate new territory in improvingthe health of Northern Kentuck-ians.

Even as all these changes areoccurring, we continue to moveforward with our goal of becom-ing nationally accredited. Thepublic health accreditation sys-tem, launched in September,demonstrates the capacity ofhealth departments to deliver all

of the public health services es-sential for a healthy community.We would like to be one of thefirst in the nation to achieve thisrecognition.

Monday, Nov. 21, is PublicHealth Thank You Day, and withThanksgiving just around thecorner, please join me in thankingour public health workers for theincredible work they do to im-prove our community’s health.Their commitment to service andto make a difference is an inspi-ration, reminding us that we areall linked together. To all 160 pub-lic health workers at the HealthDepartment and those across thenation—a heartfelt thank you.

If you would like to share howpublic health has impacted you ina positive way, please visit ourWeb site, www.nkyhealth.org. OnNov. 21, follow @nkyhealth onTwitter for more thoughts on whypublic health is valuable.

Would youturn to savingsaccounts,credit cards, asecond mort-gage, a familymember orfriend, or waitwithout in-

come until Social SecurityDisability was approved?

How long could you counton any of these to take care ofyour increased expenses, orprovide for you family? Keepin mind; with the onset of adisability, expenses typicallyincrease.

Unless you are willing toroll the dice with your income,you may want to consider pro-tecting your income throughlong-term disability insur-ance. Policies can be pur-chased on an individual basisor through an employer-spon-sored plan. An individual pol-icy tends to be more expen-sive, but can have a strongercontract, providing greaterprotection. With an individualpolicy you are also the owner

What would happen if oneday you could no longer work?How would you pay for fixedexpenses? Would you tap intoyour life’s savings or rely onother family members? If youbelieve disability cannot hap-pen to you, you may want tothink again.

In most cases you are con-sidered disabled if:

» You cannot do the samework that you did before.

» Your disability has lastedor is expected to last for atleast one year.

» Social Security Admini-stration decides that you can-not adjust to other work be-cause of your medical condi-tion.

“Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a three in10 chance of becoming dis-abled before reaching retire-ment age,” according to theSocial Security DisabilityPlanner, 2009. During yourworking years, you have agreater chance of becomingdisabled than dying beforeage 65. With the advances inmedical technology, peopleare living longer. So whatwould happen if you were notable to care for yourself or to

of the policy, paying the pre-miums with after tax dollars,so that in the event of a dis-ability, the benefit is tax-free.

A group disability policysponsored by an employer canbe employer-paid or volun-tary, or employee-paid. Grouppolicies are typically offeredas a guarantee issue basis,meaning you do not have tomedically qualify (unlike anindividual policy). In addition,group disability policies areoften not as strong, but arefrequently the least expen-sive route to purchase disabil-ity policies. If the employer ispaying for the premium of thelong-term disability policy,the benefit is taxed.

Keep in mind; it is better tohave some coverage than noneat all. The worst way to learnabout long-term disability isafter the fact, when you needit the most. To properly pro-tect one of your most impor-tant assets, your income,takes proper planning andeducation. Knowing the factsabout long-term disability isan important place to start.

When I first served in Con-gress I would often sit on the floorof the House and listen carefullyto members from both sides.

I was trying to figure out thedifferences between the liberalsand the conservatives, and to per-ceive how those differencescould be narrowed or bridged.They broke over how to answerthe overriding question of Amer-ican government – the properrole of government – with liber-als seeing an expansive role andconservatives a limited one. Atthe time, there was plenty of grayarea where the two could findcommon ground.

In general, conservativeswant just a small role when itcomes to taxes, the economy, andsocial welfare. But they are moresupportive of an expansive na-tional-security apparatus and anactive government role in regu-lating such social issues as abor-tion and gay marriage.

Liberals generally accept theflip side: They’d prefer a personwith the disposition to improveand an ability to preserve. They

are more opento an expansiverole for govern-ment on socialwelfare policy,job creation,and the econo-my, but general-ly want the gov-ernment to giveAmericans afree hand onsuch issues as

abortion and gay marriage.My experience is that apart

from the ideologically commit-ted, most Americans don’t worrya lot about whether a given policyis “liberal” or “conservative.”They worry about whether or notit works.

They want our political lead-ers to set ideological purity aside,and just get things done.

VIETNAMVETERANS DIEDWITH HONOR

FORT MITCHELL — For-ty years ago, life in North-ern Kentucky and Cincin-nati moved at a rate thatseemed slower, quieter.

That’s how Bob Hebbel-er, now of Anderson Town-ship, remembers it.

“You leave the North-ern Kentucky and Cincin-nati areas at a somewhatpeaceful time,” he said. “Inan environment that waspretty much apple pie andChevrolets.”

He’s talking about whenhe left the area from June1, 1969, to May 23, 1970.

“And you go to Viet-nam,” he starts, recallingthe tumultuous shades ofsociety in the1960s and thechanges that greeted himwhen he again stepped onU.S. soil.

“And you come back,and instead of someonesaying ‘Thank You’ theysort of want to ignore thefact that the war exists andthat we even had soldiers,”he said.

The avoidance, for Heb-beler and others, was dis-heartening.

“With the culturalchanges taking place andthe negative feelings to-ward the Vietnam war andthe Vietnam veterans, weexperienced an emotionaldowner,” he said. “(It) add-ed to the baggage of the

physical and mental scarsthat we brought back withus.”

These are soldiers whonever had a homecomingparade, said Drew Vargo ofNewport.

But on Nov. 13, that willchange, when Vargo, cur-rent president of the Viet-nam Veterans of America’sChapter 88 in KentonCounty, along with Hebbel-er will help honor veteransof the war they served in.

“I don’t get excitedabout things like this nor-mally,” Vargo said.

The Veterans Day Pro-gram is sponsored by theJames A. Ramage CivilWar Museum, the city ofFort Wright and the city ofFort Mitchell. It will behosted by Highland Ceme-tery, 2167 Dixie Highwayin Fort Mitchell, next Sun-day, Nov. 13. The hourlongceremony begins at 2 p.m.near the Cemetery Chapel.

“Honoring all veteransis important,” Vargo said.“I know that today the bigconcern is about the econo-my and jobs. But on theother hand, without a

strong military youwouldn’t have a country.”

On Sunday, Hebbelerwill recall life in Vietnam.

“In the past, I have rep-resented the Vietnam vet-erans at the Highland Cem-etery Veterans Day Cere-monies and was askedback again this year to saya few words to recognizeand honor the men andwomen from NorthernKentucky who served inthe U.S. Armed Forces dur-ing the Vietnam War era,”he said. “And it is an honorfor me to do so."

So to honor the military,Kathleen Romero of FortWright, who is chairpersonof the event, invited TheSons of the American Rev-

olution to fly flags in re-membrance.

“My involvement is thatI’m providing the colorguard,” said Tom Giemier.

The group aims to shedsome light on the heroeswho’ve helped keep thecountry safe, he said.

“From the Revolution-ary War to our veterans to-day that are in Iraq and Af-ghanistan, there’s been asteady stream of veteranswho have always servedtheir country in war andconflict after conflict,” hesaid. “I think days like Vet-erans Day are times weneed to thank veterans fortheir service and commit-ment.”

NKY honors its Vietnam veterans

Bob Hebbeler, a Vietnamveteran, will speak at theNov. 13 event to celebrateand commemorate thosewho have served. THANKS TO

RaymondWalters College is now UC Blue Ash and we’re starting an Audacious Decade,offeringmore advanced programs, better student services and improved facilities –all with the same great commitment to student success that you’ve come to expect.

www.ucblueash.eduCE-0000484541

If you could see mykitchen counter right now,you’d think I was cookingfor hundreds and you’d bealmost correct.

I’m doing a presentationfor breast cancer survi-vors for Mercy HospitalAnderson and the theme is

gifts fromthe kitchen.We expect atotal ofabout 100partici-pants. Iwanted togive themsomethingto takehome, anddecided

upon my honey roasted al-monds and crunchy pep-permint bark. I’m incharge of the almonds andGale Greenburg of Mercyis making the bark.

So right now I have ninebaking sheets full of honeyroasted almonds. I have afeeling, though, I’ll soonhave less since everyonewho passes by takes ahandful. I’m sharing thatrecipe today since it’s agood “before the feast nib-bler” for Thanksgiving andother holiday gatherings,along with being my mostrequested nut recipe.

Better than storebought honeyroasted nuts

Almonds, like all nuts,contain fiber and protein,plus a good amount of calci-um. If you’d rather substi-tute walnuts (great sourceof Omega 3) or your favor-ite nut, go ahead.2 cups whole almonds, skin left

on and toasted

¼ cup sugar or equivalentsubstitute

½ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons ea: honey andwater

2 teaspoons Canola oil

Mix sugar and salt inlarge bowl and set aside.Stir together honey, waterand oil in pan and bring to aboil. Immediately stir innuts and continue to cookand stir until liquid is ab-sorbed, about 5 minutes.Immediately transfer nutsto bowl with sugar/salt mix-ture and toss until evenlycoated. Pour out ontosprayed cookie sheet.When cool, break up andstore airtight at room tem-perature up to a month.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

To toast nuts: Pour insingle layer on cookiesheet. Roast at 350 untilfragrant, about 10-15 min-utes. Stir from outsideedge into center a couple oftimes.

Want a spicy nut? Mix in

some chipotle pepper pow-der with the sugar/salt mix-ture. Or add some cinna-mon for cinnamon nuts.

Overnight blueberryFrench toast

Doesn’t this sound goodfor those overnight holidayguests? It’s from GraciousGifts cookbook put out bySycamore PresbyterianChurch. The book is well

done. The church itself wasfounded in 1798 and con-tinues to be a thriving con-gregation. I have done sev-eral presentations for themand I always leave with asmile on my face. The cook-book is over 500 pages witha nice, hard cover. The reci-pes go from appetizers tosoups, to main dishes, veg-gies, breads, pastries, des-serts and a miscellaneoussectionthatincludesbever-ages and microwave reci-pes. I love the special giftssection in the back from thestaff at Sycamore.

This brunch recipe wassubmitted by Janet Dimittof the Tuesday morning bi-ble study group, and I thinkit’s perfect for overnightguests, or yourself! Thebook is a steal at $20, whichincludes postage and han-dling. Order by phone bycalling Sycamore Presby-terian Church for details(513) 683-0254.1 loaf French or Italian bread,

10-12 oz, cut in cubes

16 oz cream cheese, cut into 1”

cubes

1 ½ to 2 cups fresh blueberries

12 eggs, beaten

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ teaspoon cinnamon1⁄3 cup maple syrup

1 bottle blueberry syrup

Lightly grease 9x13dish. Arrange half of breadcubes in dish and top withcream cheese. Sprinkleblueberries over and topwith rest of bread. Mixbeaten eggs, milk, vanilla,cinnamon and syrup. Pourover bread. Cover and re-frigerate overnight. Re-move from frig 30 minutesbefore baking. Preheat ov-en to 350, cover and bake 30minutes. Uncover and bake25-30 minutes, until centeris firm and lightlybrowned. Serves 10.

“Ow, bad pig!” I cried,jumping back as Sweet Pea,the 130-pound teacup potbelly pig nipped at me,grazingmyrightarmwithasurprisingly sharp tooth.

“Give her a shove,” herowner, Melissa Kelly ofFort Thomas called out,“Push her around! Don’t lether think that you’re afraidof her; show her whoseboss!”

Oh yeah, that’s me. Bossof a pig that only has 10 lbs.on me. I have trouble beingAlpha enough to get Nosey,

my BassetHound pup-py to sit oncommand;and that’swhen I’mbribing herwith a pieceof steak.

“Tellingyou to gettough withher might

sound mean,” Melissa ex-plained later, “But it is veryimportant to establish thatyou are the boss with pigs.It is the only way you canget the dominant effect andthat just helps to makethem better pets that havehappier lives in the longrun.”

As adorable as they are,pet pigs can become veryaggressive. Prospectivepig owners need to do ex-tensive homework prior tobringing their pets homebecausetheyarenoteasytoraise.

“It’s a big problem,” Me-lissa continued, “The pigrescues are full of unwant-ed pigs that people havediscarded because theydon’t have the time or pa-tience to take care of themover the long run. They are

cute when they are small,but they grow and can getattitudes without propertraining. You have to workwith them for their entirelives and that can be up to20 years.”

That said, Melissa is de-lighted with her porcinecompanion. A pig loversince childhood, it was herheart’s desire to own onesomeday.

A year and a half ago,her dream came true whenshe purchased Sweet Peafrom a breeder outside ofCynthiana, Ky., for $150.The piglet was five weeks

old and weighed just fivepounds.

“She had never beenhandled by humans before,so she was a bit wild,” Me-lissa said, “So, I kept her ina large dog cage with blan-kets on one end and a litterbox with pine litter on theother side.”

Sweet Pea immediatelywent“tothepotty” inthelit-ter box. It is instinctualwith pigs to not eliminatewhere they sleep. Now thatshe is grown, she is trainedto ask to be let out when sheneeds to go, just like a dog.

Pigs require minimal

veterinary care. Theirhooves grow just like hu-man fingernails and it isdifficult to trim them.Sweet Pea will not allowMelissa to do this, so it re-quires a house call from theveterinarian.

Have you ever heard theexpression about eatinglike a pig? There is a goodreason for that. Pigs havehuge appetites and will eatwhatever is available. Thatcan cause obesity and sub-sequent health problems.

“Their diets have to beextremely limited,” Melis-sa counsels, “You have tostick to commercial pigfood and veggies. Fruit isokay, but has to be in smallamounts.”

Sweet Pea, who wasspayed at the age of 12weeks, lives in the housewith Melissa, along withher dogs Roxy, a Shar-Pei/

lLabrador mix and Pepper,a Jack Russell terrier withwhomshecohabitatesquitepeacefully. The charming-ly decorated house is im-maculately tidy and doesn’tsmell like anything, exceptmaybe scented candles.

“Pigs are very clean ani-mals,” Melissa said when Icommented on this. “Thatthey are dirty is a big mis-conception. They also don’tsweat or get fleas.”

Being domesticated hasits advantages for her pinkporker. Besides having runof the house, Sweet Pea hasher own bedroom decorat-ed with Melissa’s childhoodstuffed pigs. Her bed iscovered with a “Hello Kit-ty” comforter that she iscovered with every night.

“Sometimes I come inhere when she’s asleep andliftupthecoversandlookather lying there,” Melissasays with a sigh, “And Ithink I must be one of theluckiest people in the worldto have a pig for a pet.”

able to afford: a remodeledbathroom, an accordion forthe music program, a newfire exit door to replace thepadlocked exit in the chil-dren’s dormitory. There isalways some need. Howev-er, the most important thingwe will deliver for the chil-dren is intangible and pro-found: love, hope and the as-surance that someone reallydoes care about them.

To make our upcomingtrippossible,theMotherlessChild Foundation is hosting

a Reindeer Rendezvousfundraising dinner from 6-9p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at St.John’s United Church ofChrist Banquet Hall

Be a Santa to a Senior,the campaign that has de-livered 1.5 million gifts toneedy seniors throughoutNorth America during thepast seven years, again ishelping older adults cope intough economic times.

The area office of theHome Instead Senior Carenetwork, the world’s larg-est provider of non-medi-cal in-home care and com-panionship services forolder adults, has partnered

with Ombudsman of North-ern Kentucky, WalmartandWalgreens to provide giftsand companionship to sen-iors who otherwise mightnot receive either this holi-day season.

“Many older adults con-tinue to struggle in a downeconomy, particularlythose who live alone withno family nearby to helpprovide resources,” saidLes Murphy, general man-ager of the Home InsteadSenior Care office servingBoone, Campbell and Ken-ton counties.

Seniors have faced atrying year amid the threatof Social Security paymentdelays as part of the debt-ceiling debate. What’smore, seniors have lost al-most one-third (32 percent)of their buying power since2000, according to the An-nual Survey of Senior Costsfrom The Senior CitizensLeague (TSCL).

That’s where Be a Santato a Senior can help. Beforethe holiday season, the par-ticipating local nonprofitorganizations will identifyneedy and isolated seniorsand provide those names to

the local Home InsteadSenior Care office. Christ-mas trees, which will go upin Walgreens at 606 Butter-milk Pike in CrescentSprings, Walgreens at 8193Mall Road in Florence, andthe Walmart Supercenterat 3450 Valley Plaza Park-way in Fort Wright, on Nov.22 through Dec.12, will fea-ture ornaments with thefirst names only of the sen-iors and their gift requests.There also will be a gift-wrapping party that thepublic can attend on Dec.15, at the Home InsteadSenior Care office, 268Main Street, Florence,starting at 9 a.m.

Holiday shoppers canpick up an ornament, buyitems on the list and returnthem unwrapped to thestore, along with the orna-ment attached.

“We hope holiday shop-pers will open their heartsto those seniors who havegiven so much to make ourcommunity a better place,”Murphy said.

Specifically, the Komengrant is funding the follow-ing year-round programsat Cancer Support Commu-nity, all of which are of-

fered completely free ofcharge:

Weekly support groupsfor women in treatment

Monthly or bi-monthlynetworking groups forwomen with advancedbreast cancer, breast can-cer “grads” who have com-pleted treatment, and “pre-vivors” who have a geneticlikelihood for developingbreast or ovarian cancer

Research-based exer-cise/movement programssuch as Lebed Method:Healthy Steps and Rebuild-ing Health that increasestrength, flexibility, range-of-motion and mitigate theeffects of lymphedema

One-on-one decisionalcounseling sessions

To make it easier forjob seekers to search forcareer opportunities, theKentucky Office of Em-ployment and Traininghas launched a new job-match system.

The new tool, providedat no cost, helps users cre-ate a professionally for-matted resume highlight-ing transferable skillsfrom life experiences and

work history, and for-wards leads based on thedatabase of thousands ofcurrent job listings to thejob seeker daily via email.

Customers who al-ready have an electronicresume can upload it tothe new system.

The service matchespeople with jobs based onhow specific job seekers’skills, qualifications and

experiences fit into rec-ognized patterns of place-ment and not simplybased upon key wordplacement. It analyzesmore than 70 data ele-ments between each jobseeker and each postingto ensure that matchesare accurate and appro-priate. Jobs can besearched by location,posting date, keywords

and rating desire.Kentuckians, whether

unemployed or just look-ing for new employment,are encouraged to regis-ter with the site, posttheir resumes and let thisprogram become theirpersonal job searchagent.
