RESIDENTS THINK PINKA4

ALEXANDRIA Momentumhas started once again on aplanned 76-home subdivision offPersimmonGrovePikeinAlexan-dria, in the works since 2006.

Council approved a resolutionat theThursday, Sept. 20,meetingto have a public hearing for a pro-posedzoningmapamendment for13.05acresof thepropertywithin.

Thepropertywasannexedintothe city in 2007, but is still zonedcounty residential R1C, said CityAttorneyMikeDuncan. The reso-lution asks the citys PlanningCommission to consider if the en-tire property should all be thesame city zone of R1D, Duncansaid.

In 2006, the Fischer Homescompany Grand Communitiesproposed building a 76-home sub-division asWhistlers Point.

Mayor Bill Rachford said thedevelopment Fischer is propos-ing to build now is the same num-ber of houses, but is expected tobe reconfigured to recreate someopen space surrounding part ofthe development.

Fischerhasntsubmittedanewsite plan yet, but company repre-sentatives met with city officialsand some of the residents of theneighboring subdivision to goover the probable plans and ask

for feedback, Rachford said.Rachford said he anticipates a

newsiteplan fromFischerwill beforthcoming once the zoning isconsistent within all parts of theproperty.

They do want to develop it,and it makes sense to have it de-veloped under one set of zoning,he said.

There is also earth-gradingworkongoingat thesiteofthe916-unit housing development Arca-

dia on 327 acres between TollgateRoad and Alexandria Pike. Thesite plan for Arcadia was first ap-proved by Alexandria in 2007.

The fact that theyre movingdirt down at Arcadia is signifi-cant, so Im thinking with thosetwo developments it sounds liketheyre getting moving, Rach-ford said. Im reading that as anoptimistic sign.

Pendery said the fiscal courts Sept. 20announcementwas following through on apromise to close the senior apartments inMay.

I let everybody know so there was noconfusion where everything was goingandpeoplehadat leasteightmonths to finda new place to live, he said.

The county receives regular reports onthe circumstances of each resident re-maining, and the likelihood they will suc-ceed in finding a new place, he said.

Everybody should comfortably havetime enough to make a move, Penderysaid.

The leases of Lakeside Terrace resi-dents canbe legally terminated on 30-daysnotice, but the countymade a commitmentto provide them with at least 120 days no-tice, said Campbell County AdministratorRobert Horine.

Wilder residentKevinGordon saiddur-ing theSept. 20meeting that hewanted thecounty to make public a report detailingthe $5 million cost estimate to renovateLakeside Terrace. Campbell County hasrefused to release the report to Gordon.Pendery said the approval of the intent tocloseresolutionSept. 20doesnt changehismind on withholding public release of thereport.

Pendery cited the $5 million cost esti-mate to renovate as too expensive duringthe June 20 fiscal court meeting. There isasbestos in the building and other expen-sive repairs are needed in any renovation,he said.

NEWPORT The loca-tion of the drivers licenseoffice is the primary issuesCircuit Court Clerk candi-dates Mary Ann MaderJones and Taunya NolanJack have different viewsupon.

Republican Nolan Jack,of California, is seeking re-election to a second four-year term, and DemocratMader Jones, of Alexan-dria, is a first time candi-date for the office.

The Circuit Court Clerk

office handles filings fordistrict and circuit courtcases in Campbell Countyand is also responsible forissuing state driver li-censes.

Mader Jones said shehas extensivemanagementexperience including open-ing up a mortgage compa-ny branch in CampbellCounty. A current employ-ee of Union Savings Bank,Mader Jones said she hasworked for 17 years as aninsurance agent and anoth-er 17 years in mortgage fi-nance.

Both occupations in-volve some knowledge ofthe court systems, shesaid.

Mader Jones said whenthenewcounty administra-tion building was con-structed at1098MonmouthSt. inNewport the planwasto move the Circuit CourtClerk drivers license of-fice there along with thecounty clerks office. Thecounty clerks office, a sep-

arate entity, handles vehi-cle tag renewals.

Havingthe officestogetherwas goingto make itmore con-venient foreveryonewith lots offree park-ing andeasy ac-cess,MaderJones said.People nowhave to goto the court-house onYork Streetto renewtheir driv-

ers license and to the coun-ty clerks office at 1098Monmouth to renew theirauto tags, she said. And toget to the drivers licenseoffice people have to gothrough security, and gothrough the old building toget to the office on the farend of the new addition.

Its very inconvenientespecially for seniors andhandicappedpeople,Mad-er Jones said.

Not having the driverslicense office also costs thecounty money because thesheriffs officehas tomain-tain a security checkpointfor the office to be open onSaturday in the court-house.

Nolan Jack, first ap-pointed to the circuit court

clerks office Jan. 13, 2009,said her work experiencein the courts and as a legalsecretary gives her thebest experience for the du-ties the office primarilyhandles.

The convenience issuesurrounding the drivers li-cense office is amisnomer,Nolan Jack said. The of-fices being together freesup employees working oncourt paperwork to alsowork in the drivers licenseoffice, she said.

People only have to gettheir drivers license re-newed once every fouryears, and they need theirvehicle tags renewedannu-ally, she said.

And they dont expireat the same time, so I dontknowhowitsabig inconve-nience every four years,Nolan Jack said.

Theres also three fulllotsonCourtStreetofpark-ing and street meter park-ing. And people have to goup to the second floor at thecounty administrationbuilding, so the distancefrom the front door is simi-lar, Nolan Jack said.

Nolan Jack said she in-troduced credit card pay-ments during her time inoffice.

Nolan Jack said shethinks voters will be bestserved keeping her on thejob because shes been inthe legal field since 1986and she is available 24-7to attorneys and judges

through her cell phone.Its a perfect fit for

me, she said. I like work-ing with the public, work-ing with records, and I

make sure everything isdone effectively and effi-ciently, she said.

Terrace and not havinganything to replace it isworth the investment.

There are more agen-cies and facilities availablenow than when LakesideTerrace was opened in1969, but the county shouldcontinue to step up to con-tinue operation ofLakesideTerrace, he said.

I still think it is an as-set, and it is has been some-thing the county should beproud of in terms of havinga facility like that whichputs us heads and shoul-ders above most counties,Gordon said.

COLDSPRINGSeekingtogive theirwivesa tractorof their own, three friendswho collect and restore an-tique tractors ditched theirfavorite John Deere greenand yellow for pink.

The ideaforpaintingthe

tractor pink was also be-cause they wanted to sup-port the Northern Ken-tucky breast cancer survi-vors support group Chicks& Chucks, said MarkSchroder of Cold Spring.

Schroder, and friends,Joe Bremke of Alexandriaand Alan Goetz, of ColdSpring work together atleast onceaweek to restorea new antique John Deere2 cylinder tractor. Foreight years they have dis-played their restored trac-tors at an annual show forfriends, family and neigh-bors in Cold Spring. Thethree friends knew eachother through their workvolunteering at Central

Campbell Fire District.Its a goodhobby, having

been raised on a farm its away to preserve a piece ofthat agricultural past,Schroder said.

Schroder said he andBremke and Goetz work asa teamto restore their trac-tors, and theirwivesCandySchroder, Pat Bremke andLindaGoetzmade a specialrequest of them.

The girls, theyve al-ways wanted a tractor oftheir own, he said.

Candy Schroder saidthey decided to paint theirJohn Deere model 1944LApinkanduse it as awaytoraisemoneyforChicks&Chucks.

We plan to take itaround to some Chicks &Chucks events, she said.

Representatives ofChicks & Chucks were atSchroders property inCold Spring for the annualtractor show Saturday,Sept. 22, to take donationspeople left in a jar next tothe tractor for the charity.

Claire Bazler, of Edge-wood, a member of theChicks & Chucks board,

Chicks & Chucks boardmember Lisa Webster, ofAlexandria, said they werethrilledwhen theywereap-proached about the idea ofpromoting their organiza-tion with a unique pinktractor.

Candy Schroder saidone of her neighbors is alsoboard member for Chicks& Chucks, and that she andher husband have had fam-ily members go throughbreast cancer.

Schroder said she isthrilled the wives finallygot their own tractor, andthey think their husbandshobby is fun.

Alan Goetz said he andthe other Mark SchroderandJoeBremkestartedgo-ing to John Deere exposi-tions in Iowa in the early1990s.

SuperintendentWayne Starnes said thedistrict is happy to accept the certificationin recognition of their efforts.

Through this achievement, we havedemonstratedourcommitment toenviron-mental stewardship while also loweringour energy costs, Starnes said.

Dave Feldmann, the districts directorof facilities, said thatdistrict starteddoinglittle things to be more energy efficientseveral years ago, but then stepped uptheir efforts.

Feldmann said the work included re-placing fluorescent light bulbs with lowenergy consuming bulbs and cutting backon heating and air conditioning temper-ature settings.

The district also joinedwith other localdistricts to take part in a state grant pro-gramthathiredanenergymanager tohelpthe districts reduce energy costs.

Feldmann said in todays economy, anyway a district can save money helps.

Everydollarwesavegoes into instruc-tion and other areas, Feldmann said.Hopefully by next yearwell be saving aneven higher percent.

EnergymanagerNathanWright said infiscal year 2012, Grandview reduced itsenergyusageby10.51percentcomparedtofiscal year 2009. The schools energy 2012expenditures were reduced by 16.62 per-cent when compared to 2009, equaling$10,949.

Since the efforts began in fiscal year2010, Grandview has saved a combined to-tal of $21,533 on energy costs,Wright said.

To attain these savings and earn theEn-ergy Star, the district also implemented acomprehensive energymanagement plan,created an energy efficiency committeeand worked to promote the importance ofenergy efficiency to students and staff.

Dan Ridder, the districts director ofcurriculumwho also serves on the energyefficiency committee, said at their mostrecent meeting, they decided to move for-ward with creating and implementing aplan to improve the energy efficiencymore at Bellevue High School.

Ridder said the committee is lookinginto outside agencies who may be able tohelp thedistrict findmoreways to saveen-ergy at the school andhopefully lead to thehigh school receiving the Energy Star inthe future.

ALEXANDRIA Former star Univer-sity of Kentucky running back ArtosePinner carried a message to CampbellRidgeElementarySchool students to eathealthy and stay active Wednesday,Sept. 19.

Pinner spoke to students gathered in-side the gym on behalf of the NFLs FuelUp to Play 60 program and The South-east United Dairy Industry Association.Students each signed a Fuel Up to Play60 Pledge card and dropped it in a box asthey entered the gym.

Students promised to energize mybody andmind by eating healthy and tobe active 60 minutes each day.

Pinner said part of being ready foreach day is eating whole grains, fruitsand vegetables and non-fat dairy eachday to fuel up for the day correctly, Pin-ner said to the students.

Whether its time to ace a test orscore big in a game youll be ready, hesaid.

Pinner said obesity is a national prob-lem that is spreading, and asked the stu-dents to go outside and jog, jump rope orride a bicycle in their free time insteadof playing video games orwatching tele-vision.

When you are watching TV, insteadof grabbing some chips grab somefruit, he said. They taste great, andtheyre good for you.

Pinner, a native of Hopkinsville, Ky.,was the 2002 SEC Offensive Player ofthe Year. He was drafted by the Detroit

Lions in 2003. Pinner played for Detroit,Minnesota and Atlanta during his sixyears in the league.

Speakingwithstudents isa funwaytogive back, he said. Pinner said he creat-ed a jacket with positive words to rein-force his message to students. Words onthe jacket included confident, commit-ment and the phrase Never give up.

MelindaTurner, a school programac-count manager for the Southeast UnitedDairy Association, also spoke to the stu-dents about eating healthy and present-ed a $2,000 check toCampbellRidgeEle-mentary for promoting healthy eating.

The school has received a total of$6,000 in2011and2012 to improve itscaf-eteria into more of a cafe experience toget students excited about eating andtrying foods they might not otherwise,Turner said. Campbell Ridge bought ablender in 2011 to allow students to havefruit smoothies from the cafeteria, shesaid.

Having Pinner come to the school,whowasastaratUK,helps reinforce thehealthy eating and exercise message,Turner said. Children often heed a mes-sage especiallywellwhen aprofessionalathlete delivers it, she said.

Kids have gone home and said totheir parents, We need to eat healthy,Turner said.

Linda Hardy, Campbell Ridgesschool nurse, said some of the $6,000 ingrant money through dairy associationandNFLFuelUp to Play 60 programhasbeen used to bring fresh fruit to everymeal served in the cafeteria.

Students especially love eating thebananas, and they are getting to try dif-ferent kinds of beans, Hardy said. Im-proving the cafeteria to give it a restau-rant feel gets students excitedabout eat-ing healthy, she said.

Wrapupahealthysandwichthewayarestaurant does, and the students getmoreexcitedabouteating it,Hardysaid.All of Campbell County Schools menushave changed in the past year, she said.

Everything is low fat with wholegrains, and lots more fruits and vegeta-bles, she said.

First-graderRobertWilkewas eatinga bowl of peaches as Pinner made therounds to speakwith students at their ta-bles during lunch after the assembly.

Wilke said he always tries to eathealthy at home or school, and orangesare his favorite fruit.

Wilke said Pinners speechmade himthink more about eating healthy.

It made me hungry though, Wilkesaid.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS Sept.18wasbothagut-checkandacon-fidence booster for the NorthernKentucky University volleyballteam.

The Norse lost a heartbreak-ing five-set match to Lipscomb,dropping the fifth and decidingset16-14.Thatmatchwas the firsthome contest in Regents Hall forNKU as an NCAA Division Imember, and its firstmatch in theAtlantic Sun Conference.

At the same time, it was a nar-row loss to a Lipscomb team thatdrove up from Nashville havingwon the last three conference ti-tles in the A-Sun and wearing themantle of preseason favorite thisyear. So, as far asmoral victoriesgo, it was a lopsided score.

That was one of the best feel-good games of my life, NKUfreshman hitter Jayden Juliansaid. The fans were crazy. Lip-scombwas picked to win the con-ferenceagain, so it helpedgiveusa gauge of how good the teamsare in the A-Sun.

More importantly, the Norsetook points and pointers fromthat moral win and used them towin their first two conferencematches Sept. 21-22, beatingNorthFlorida andJacksonville inRegents Hall. The Norse lefttheir homegymwith a 2-1confer-ence record and 14-2 overall.

Its been an awesome feel-ing, senior setter JennaSchreiv-er said. Weve been playing wellwith the transition. Weve beenunfamiliar with these teams butweve handled the situation pret-tywell and Imreallyproudofmyteam.

Bouncing back from the Lip-scomb losswas crucial, said headcoach Liz Hart, a former NKUstandout.

We knew Lipscomb was go-ing to be tough and the key wasbeing able to come back and re-spond, she said. We talkedabout not letting it get us down. Itcomes down to experience andplaying a lot of games. Therehave been a couple of times thisyear that weve been down andbeen able to pull it together.

Against Jacksonville Sept. 22,

the Norse won the first two setsbut lost a late lead to fall in Set 3.The Norse then had to rally frombehind in set four, and after theteams were tied at 23, the Norsewonthefinal twopoints toend thematch.

The two wins should help theNorse as they prepare to head tocentral Georgia this week to faceKennesawState andMercer inA-Sunmatches.AsnewmembersofDivision I, the Norse cannot playin the postseason but are eligibleto win the regular season confer-ence title.

Our main goal is to win theconference title, Schreiver said.We definitely can do it. We havea good feeling about the confer-ence. The game on Tuesday (Lip-scomb) showed us were a goodteam and we can compete in thisconference.

The Norse werent sure whatto expect this season as they

stepped up to all-new foes. NKUwas picked to finish eighth in thepreseason A-Sun coaches poll,but its likely thatmostvotershadno idea what to expect from thenewcomers, either.

We knew we would be prettygood after our great spring sea-son and knowing we have a lot ofreturners comingback, so the ex-perience has been a big part ofour success, Hart said. Wespend a lot of time watching filmand that helps us keep workingharder and know we have to playour game to be successful. If wekeep playing our system we canputourselves inagoodpositionatthe end of the season.

Schreiver, a former NotreDameAcademystandout, recent-ly notched her 4,000th career as-sist in an NKU uniform.

Jennas been directing of-fense for us since her freshmanyear,Hart said. Shesverycom-

petitive, a very smart setter. Shemakes things look very easy, andtheyre not. Shes one of the bestsetters out there.

Schreiver said the transitionto a higher level has been chal-lenging.

We were really concernedwith the bigger block, Schreiversaid. The players are a lot tallerand their arm-span is longer thanours, so weve been focusing onhitting around the block and tip-ping higher over the block. Werun a faster-paced offense whichtries to confuse their block, too.We have five very strong hittersso its very nice to have five hit-ters out there that I can rely on.Im able to read the block and setit to the hitter I know can put theball away.

Leading theplethoraofhittersis Shelby Buschur, who recentlybecame the 16th Norse player toreach 1,000 kills. The St. Henry,Ohio, native had 21 kills againstJacksonville.

Shelby has been a key playerfor us all four years, Hart said.Shes been able to get a lot ofkills per set andat ahighefficien-cy, and that is huge for someonewe go to all the time.

Haley Lippert (Lakota East),Kelly Morrissey (Loveland/Mt.Notre Dame), Jenna Ruble andJayden Julian (Independence/Holy Cross) all have more than100 kills this year.

Julian, Northern Kentuckys2011 prep player of the year atHoly Cross, is enjoying the tran-sition.

I love it so much because weget to travel everywhere and itsso much different than highschool, she said. Wepractice allthe time. Its a dreamcome true. Ididnt know what to expect as afreshman. I came in during pre-season,workedreallyhard, and itpaid off.

Kylee Tarantino (Loveland/Mt.NotreDame)andAnnaPrick-el (Ursuline Academy) lead thedefense. Tarantino has been athree-year starter at libero.LeftyMegan Wanstrath (Cleves, Ohio/Mother of Mercy High School)stepped in with five kills againstJacksonville when Ruble missedthe match, and freshman JamieKohls (Newport Central Catho-lic) got her first action of the sea-son in last weekends matches.

to the west coast, a gameagainst powerful OhioState and a road encounterwith two-time nationalchampion San Franciscohighlight Northern Ken-tucky Universitys 2012-13mens basketball scheduleas it tips off its inauguralyear of NCAA Division Iplay. In addition, NKU vis-its Lubbock, Texas, Dec. 4to take onTexasTech of theBig 12 Conference. Thatwill mark the Norses first-ever trip to Texas.

The Norse begin theseason by traveling to Cali-fornia to participate in thefour-game National UreaCycle Disorders Founda-tion Challenge at the Uni-versity of San Diego. NKUmeetshostSanDiego (13-18last season) on Nov. 14, fol-lowed by games againstTulsa (Nov. 15), Siena (Nov.17) and CalState North-ridge (Nov. 18).

The tournament in SanDiego will be a big-timetest because we have to

play four games in fivedays, and the teams in-volved are going to be verygood, NKU head coachDave Bezold said. Its achallenging way to beginour first season as a Divi-sion I program, but weshould learn a great dealabout our team during thattournament.

On Dec. 1, NKU travelstoColumbus,Ohio, tobattleBig Ten powerhouse OhioState in Value City Arena.It will mark the first regu-lar-season meeting be-tween the two programs.The Norse and Buckeyesplayed in an exhibitiongame in 2004, with OhioState pulling out a 77-67victory in Columbus. Ayear ago, Ohio State posteda 31-8 record and advancedto the NCAA Final Four.

OhioStateplayed in theFinal Four last season, andthey should be a terrificteam once again, Bezoldsaid. Ohio State is loadedwith talent, andThadMattais an outstanding coach.

A publication of

The 1933 burning of morethan 25,000 un-German bookseventually elicited widespreadcondemnation. Yet, the sheernumber of books in the UnitesStates that are still challengedor banned is staggering. Since1990, the American LibraryAssociation has recorded morethan 10,000 book challenges! Achallenge is a formal complaintrequesting a book be removedfrom libraries or schools. As inpre-WWII, books that are chal-lenged or banned have one thingin common: something in abooks content runs counter towhat a person or group ofpeople believe should be avail-able.

About threeout of four ofall challengesinvolve booksin schools.Materials mostchallenged arebooks for chil-dren. The pop-ular picturebook BrownBear, BrownBear, What Do

You See? was banned for ashort time in Texas in 2010 be-cause the author had the samename as a Marxist theorist.Thankfully, most challenges areunsuccessful, and books such asThe Hunger Games, Twilight

and the Harry Potter seriesremain available.

Those who seek the banningof materials from a library arenot simply expressing a point ofview. They are attempting tosuppress someone elses point ofview. Censorship denies us ourfreedom as individuals to chooseand think for ourselves. Forchildren, decisions about whatbooks to read should be made bythe people who know them best their parents. In the end, wemust defend our freedom tomake our own decisions aboutwhat we read and view, but thatfreedom also extends to respectfor the same freedom for every-one else.

Libraries across the countryare celebrating Banned BooksWeek Sept. 30-Oct. 6 in supportof the freedom to access librarymaterials without censorship.The Campbell County PublicLibrary, along with many othersnationwide, upholds the freedomto read, listen, and view freely.The celebration of BannedBooks Week is to encouragecommunities not to take thisfreedom for granted. Whileeverything in the library mightnot be appropriate for you, eachof us has the right to decide forourselves what to read, to listento, or to view.

During Banned Books Week,the Campbell County Public

Library will have dozens ofbooks that have been challengedor banned on display. Check oneout to read and enter randomdrawings throughout BannedBook Week for prizes. Be caughtwith a banned book and welltake your picture at any branch.

Celebrate the freedom toread at your library, and checkout a banned book Sept. 30-Oct.6.

CAMPBELL COUNTY REPRESENTATIVESAND CONTACT INFO

As Novembers elections getcloser, two very different ap-proaches to wielding power are onoffer.

The first has characterizedmost of our nations history: a will-ingness to engage in robust debateover competing ideas, work acrossideological divides, and above allfindaway to strikeadeal andmoveforward. Its emphasis is on prob-lem-solving and finding workablesolutions to thegreatproblemsthatconfront us. It is what has madepossiblemost of the great pieces oflegislation that have shaped thisnation everything from ruralelectrification to federal high-ways.

The other approach has been onview more often than not in theHouse, and was prominent in theIndiana Republican primary thatrecently ended in thedefeat of Sen.Richard Lugar. It holds that in or-der to achieve policy goals its cru-cial to purify the party, purge it ofmoderates, andwork hard to reachoverwhelming, possibly even per-manent, political victory. It restsonabelief that thepoliticalphiloso-

phies at large inthe country rightnow are irrecon-cilable, and thatreaching a com-promise in the in-terest of movinglegislation is im-possible withoutbetraying coreprinciples. In thisview, Washingtondoes not needmore collegiality,

it needs less.This is not an irrational or ille-

gitimate approach to governing.There are plenty of politicians ofbothmajorpartieswhohave, at onetime or another, advocated this ap-proach.

But theres a practical problemwith it: It is very hard to makework. The kinds of majorities thatmake ideologically pure legislat-ing possible dont come along veryoftenandwhen theydo, theydonttend to last very long. Moreover,legislation that has bipartisan sup-port tends not just to bemore dura-ble and of a higher quality than if it

does not, it is also easier to imple-ment. As a governing tactic, ideo-logical purityhas enormouspracti-cal difficulties.

Nonetheless, in the upcomingelection these twoapproaches ne-gotiation and flexibility vs. un-yieldingdedication to an ideology will both be part of the package ofissues that voters must weigh.Which makes it crucial that candi-dates talk not only about policy, butalso about process not only aboutwhere they want the country to go,but also about how they expect it toget there. Which approach do theyfavor? If they get into office, howwill they govern?

Their answers will make a dif-ference in howwe as a nation tack-le the challenges that confront us.So as campaign season truly getsunder way and the candidates whowould represent you start showingup to ask for your vote, dont letthem off the hook: Ask them notjust what they want to accomplish,but how theyll go about it.

Have you ever thought abouthow many times you interact withwater on a daily basis? Go ahead,count thenumberof times. Ibet thenumberyoucameupwith is higherthan you expected. And thats truefor most people.

Water is such an intricate partof our daily lives andwe dont real-izehowvaluableand important it isto our health and our community.

For me, water is life. I drink it,cook with it, bathe in it, use it towash my clothes and my dishes, Iwash my hands with it, not to men-tion outside uses like washing mycar and watering my lawn.

At Greater Cincinnati WaterWorks, our mission is to providecustomers within our regionalcommunities a plentiful supply ofthe highest quality water and ex-cellent services.

Our engineers, water qualityexperts andwater distribution andsupply specialists constantly as-sess the needs of our customers,

identifying areasof demand, moni-toring and up-grading our in-frastructure anddeveloping a plantokeephigh-qual-itywater flowing.

In 2013, ourstate-of-the-artultraviolet disin-fection (UV)treatment facili-

ty will be brought online to protectagainst potential micro-organismslike cryptosporidium.When the fa-cility is operational, GCWWwill bethe largest water utility in NorthAmerica to use UV following sandfiltration and granular-activatedcarbon.

All thewhilemembers of our in-formation technology, businessand billing teams research and im-plement the latest technologies tohelp keep us on the cutting edge ofcustomer service.

Becausewe thinkwaters worthit. And we hope you do too.

Without water, our firefighterscant fight fires. Many of our localbusinesses cant manufacturetheir products, our hospitals canttreat patients and our schools cantteach tomorrows leaders.

On behalf of every GCWW em-ployee, I am proud to report thatourwatermet or exceededall stateand federal health standards in2011, as it always has.

Its starting to feel, andlook like, autumn. Thetops of the maple treeshave splashes of red, or-ange and yellow. And thismorning when I went outfor a bike ride, I got nofarther than the bend inthe road when I had toturn around and changefrom a T-shirt to a sweat-shirt.

Are you ready for fall?Im not sure I am, but itscoming nonetheless. Ourfarmer neighbor, Ed Klu-ba, predicts frost in thenext couple of weeks.Thats according to theOld Farmers Almanac, Edtold me. Fall is a perfecttime to start roastingdinner in the oven insteadof turning on the grill.

Roasted chickenwith Greek herbs

Sometimes Ill use justbreasts and thighs. thehigh heat gives the chick-en an incredibly crispskin. This is one of thosehurry home meals.Freshly ground peppermakes this a standoutdish. If you dont have apeppermill, put it on yourwish list. Makes all thedifference in the world,and pepper has lots ofantioxidants. Ditto for theoregano, one of the mosthealing herbs on the plan-et.

1 chicken, cut up, about 3pounds

6 Italian tomatoes, cut intoquarters

1 very large yellow onion4 Yukon gold or large redpotatoes, cut into quartersor big chunks

Salt and pepper to taste cup fresh oregano, or a

generous2teaspoonsdry

13 cup oliveoil or bitmore asneeded

13 cup freshlemonjuice

1tablespoon fresh garlic,minced

Preheat oven to 450.Toss chicken, tomatoes,onion and potatoes withsalt and pepper. Put chick-en and vegetables in largebowl. Mix oregano, oil,lemon juice and garlictogether. Pour over chick-en and vegetables. Put intoshallow roasting pan,placing chicken piecesskin side up on top ofvegetables. Roast 1 houror until chicken is goldenand cooked through.
