No matter how they display it, we want to recognize them. Send your “Neighbors Who Care” nominations to ndaly@community- press. com.

Include your name, community and contact information, as well as several paragraphs describing why your neighbor merits recognition. Your “Neighbor Who Cares” does not have to live in direct proximity to you. They can live a few miles away and their good works can help many in your immediate town or county in Boone, Campbell and Kenton coun- ties. What matters is the good they’ve done for you or your neighborhood, or for the community at large. Please send nominations by Dec. 3. Ques- tions? Call 578-1059. Nominate a caring neighbor by Dec. 3 The Saturday after Thanks- giving is an opportunity for small businesses to shine. Nov. 29 marks the fourth an- nual Small Business Saturday, a nationwide effort to encourage consumers to shop local started by American Express. “Small businesses represent the backbone of our nation’s economy,” said Adam Caswell of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. “Black Friday is a great opportunity for large retailers with major marketing capabilities to at- tract consumers, but (the Satur- day after Thanksgiving) is im- portant because it allows us to drive shoppers to those local, small retailers.” Caswell said the Chamber is “proud” to support Northern Kentucky’s small business com- munity and will host a booth at two locations to promote shop- ping at small businesses. The Chamber will set up shop at the Covington Holiday Pop Up Mar- ket 2-6 p.m. at 801 Madison Ave., Covington, and the Bellevue Christmas Walk along Fairfield Avenue 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Chamber will pass out to holiday shoppers “Shop Small” canvas shopping bags contain- ing a Northern Kentucky Busi- ness Map, and a list of local re- tailers participating in the American Express Shop Small Saturday promotion. The bags will also include instructions on how to register for up to a $30 credit on purchases made at these participating retailers. The Chamber will also hand out candy canes and hot chocolate. “Local businesses are the heartbeat of our community,” he said. “When we spend our money shopping locally, our money is used to make pur- chases from other local busi- nesses, service providers and farms – continuing to strength- en the economic base of the community.” Don Lambert, owner of Colo- nel’s Creamery, located at Friendly Market, 10050 Norbot- ten Drive, Florence, said he is excited about the “big day.” He is a participant in American Ex- press’ Shop Small promotion. “American Express’ effort really means a lot,” he said. “They’re helping small busi- nesses get more exposure. With more exposure, more people will come and deal with small businesses and find a better val- ue, better quality of product and services. That’s a benefit to the customer.” He said he is grateful for the American Express promotion. “It’s a generous gesture and really beneficial,” he said. “The small guy can’t compete with a big business’s marketing. Any exposure we can get is good.” Bellevue businesses are also participating in the American Express promotion, said assis- tant city administrator Jody Robinson. The community is do- ing some extra promotions to get people to visit Fairfield Ave- nue. Santa, for example, Robin- son said, will arrive at 318 Fair- field at 11 a.m. on an antique Bellevue firetruck own by Tom Rechtin. “Every business a visitor goes to they can enter to win prizes in our great gift give- away. There are over 30 items valued at a minimum of $25 with the grand prize of a diamond and gold ring from Cleves and Lonnemann Jewelers,” she said. John Witt, owner of Witt’s End Candy Emporium, said he is excited about all the things the city has going on that day. Witt’s End also has many special events planned throughout the holiday season. He said it’s es- pecially important to get con- sumer support during the holi- day season. “Like many of the large cor- porations, small business own- ers rely on the holiday season to maximize sales,” Witt said. “Un- like the large corporations, small business owners rely on this income to sustain them un- til the weather breaks in the spring. Small businesses are not located in the mall, but in the communities. We encourage customers to bundle up and make an effort to shop local not only in the winter, but every day.” Small business the economy’s ‘backbone’ See SMALL , Page A2 WHERE TO ‘SHOP SMALL’ Hundreds of Northern Ken- tucky businesses are participat- ing in Small Business Saturday.

ALEXANDRIA — After sev- eral years of voluntarily serv- ing the city and donating to families in need, Todd Schaf- er found himself in a situation where he needs help from the community. The annual “A Crooner Christmas IX” will take place from 3-5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 7, at the Alexandria Community Center. It is a free, music- based event which features music from different genres including “crooner,” gospel, Christmas, as well as many other types. Donations from the event usually go to Alexandria-area ministries to provide Christ- mas presents to needy fam- ilies, but this year the major- ity of the funds raised will help Schafer pay for existing and future medical bills from his ongoing heart condition. Schafer said having a char- ity event for himself is hard for him to do. “It’s not hard when I can’t breathe, but it is when I’m thinking that there’s other people that have their own is- sues,” Schafer said. “If I was a carpenter, I’d have to go build another house to make money for everything I have to pay out medically right now. I’m on 23 pills a day and eventu- ally going to be back on a heart transplant list.” Schafer said it’s going to be a challenge for him to orga- nize the event and perform this year, but the show must go on. “It’s going to be very hard for me to do it,” he said. “I’m going to have extra people there to help sing. Usually it’s me for two hours.” It’s tough to sing when you can’t get the air that you’re used to having, according to Schafer. He is just hoping that nothing serious occurs be- tween now until then. Schafer said he has only been able to work 15 hours a week. Over the past 10 years, he has had a pacemaker, a de- fibrillator and a biventricular system installed. About 12 years ago, he was told he would only have 18 months to live without a new heart. An- other doctor told him to for- get that, they will use medi- cine. In the recent past, Schafer almost died when he had a sudden fall. He said he doesn’t remember anything. The first shock didn’t bring him back, but the second one did. He has been living with dizziness and less wind capac- ity ever since. “It’s God’s talent,” Schafer said. “It’s not mine. It just seems like he always gives me the strength to get through whatever musical thing I have to get through.” Schafer said in past years, “A Crooner Christmas” has become a tradition. He told people he didn’t know if he was going to be able to do it this year, and received feed- back from people saying he has to do it because it’s part of their holiday. “They bring their fam- ilies,” he said. “It’s really got- ten to be a great family affair. We’ve tried to help the com- munity the last eight years. We’re still going to help, but it’s got to help Todd right now too.” Donations from guests are encouraged, but admission to the show is free. Schafer said as long as he has anything to do with it, there never will be a fee. Tables are turned for Alexandria’s ‘crooner’ THANKS TO TODD SCHAFER Todd Schafer sings at a previous “A Crooner Christmas” event.

ALEXANDRIA — After sev-eral yearsofvoluntarily serv-ing the city and donating tofamilies in need, Todd Schaf-er foundhimself in a situationwhere he needs help from thecommunity.

The annual “A CroonerChristmas IX”will take placefrom 3-5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 7,at theAlexandriaCommunityCenter. It is a free, music-based event which featuresmusic from different genresincluding “crooner,” gospel,Christmas, as well as manyother types.

Donations from the eventusually go to Alexandria-areaministries to provide Christ-mas presents to needy fam-ilies, but this year the major-ity of the funds raised willhelp Schafer pay for existingand futuremedical bills fromhis ongoing heart condition.

Schafersaidhavingachar-ity event for himself is hardfor him to do.

“It’s not hard when I can’tbreathe, but it is when I’mthinking that there’s otherpeople that have their own is-sues,”Schafersaid. “If Iwasacarpenter, I’d have to go buildanotherhouse tomakemoneyfor everything I have to payout medically right now. I’mon 23 pills a day and eventu-ally going to be back on aheart transplant list.”

Schafersaid it’sgoing tobea challenge for him to orga-nize the event and perform

this year, but the show mustgo on.

“It’s going to be very hardfor me to do it,” he said. “I’mgoing to have extra peoplethere to help sing. Usually it’sme for two hours.”

It’s tough to sing when youcan’t get the air that you’re

used to having, according toSchafer.He is justhoping thatnothing serious occurs be-tween now until then.

By shopping local,Wittsaid, consumers ensuremore of their dollars stayin the community, ratherthan add dollars to the bigbox stores.

“Dollars spent at localcompanies directly sup-port local families, whothen support other localbusinesses,” he said.

“Small Business Saturdayis also a day to discovernew small businesses inthe community; weopened in May and we’rehoping that people whodidn’t know we’re here inBellevue will come outand find us.”

Businesses in FortThomas are banding to-gether as well for the bigday. Barb Thomas, ownerof the gift shop FortThomas Central, saidbusinesses in the commu-nity have joined forces toput on the Fort ThomasSmall Business Hop.

“Each participatingbusiness is going to offerspecial discounts, re-freshments and prizes,”she said. “It’s our time toshine andhave some fun.”

Thomas said the teameffort put forth greatlyreinforces the concept ofshop local.

“Together we are put-ting out a stronger mes-sage to encourage peopleto give back to the com-munity,” she said. “It’s notjust onedayof theyear ei-

ther, but every day thatyou have to think aboutshopping small.”

Linda Barbian, whoownsandoperatesLinda’sLasting Impressions inAlexandria, said SmallBusiness Saturday is alsoa way for businesses toshowtheir appreciation totheir customers.

“We’regoingtooffer10percent off storewide as away to say thankyou to allthose who’ve been sup-portingus,” shesaid. “Ourcustomers can also regis-ter towinagift certificatefor $100.”

She said it’s importantthat customers under-stand that their support isvalued and needed.

“Their support helpssmall businesses stayalive,” Barbian said.“When you live in a com-munity it’s especially im-portant to support thebusinesses there. They’rea part of you.”

What is “A CroonerChristmas?”

Schafer said he ex-plains what a crooner isevery year.

“We call a crooner asmooth singer like BenCrosby or Frank Sinatra,”he said. “We don’t prac-

tice. Wemeet once a year.Everyyear,we start it at 3o’clock, and every yearour last song ends at 5.Wecall it winging it. We takerequests and we try to fiteverything in.”

Schafer doesn’t writethe playlist until 30 min-utes before the showstarts and said people, in-cluding himself, are usu-ally shocked with howwell it turns out.

“It’s a ... hopefully, get

you in the Christmas spir-it type of event,” Schafersaid.

Steve Weber, from Al-exandria, attended theshowfor thefirst time lastyear. He said that what helikedbestwasmusic fromthe crooner era.

“I think it was greatand very well put togeth-er, in just therightamountof time,” Weber said.“People that were therereally loved it and I didtoo.”

Weber said he will re-turn this year and is look-ing forward to the varie-ties of music from thebandplaying to thediffer-ent singers.

This year, Todd Whit-ford and JerryMoorewillbe the special guests, andtherewill also be a specialsurprise vocal guest.

Santa Claus alwaysmakes an appearance atthe event, and there willbecandycanes,hotchoco-late, cookies, coffee andmore provided for free.

How he became acrooner

Schafer, 55, grew up inLouisville, but has lived inAlexandria for manyyears.Hesaidhehasbeenperforming music, offand on, for around 38years. He started per-forming professionally at7 years old when he sangat a wedding for the firsttime. He said he has prob-ably done about 700 wed-ding performances sincethen.

Schafer runs the Alex-andria Community Cen-ter and and has workedfor Bishop Brossart HighSchool for 10 years, an-nouncing boys and girlsbasketball games.

Students from Bros-

sart help out at theChrist-mas event every year andsaid he kind of got at-tached to them.

In high school, Schafersaid hewas theNo.1tenorin Jefferson County allfour years. He attendedcollege at Eastern Ken-tucky for the football pro-gram, but ended up fol-lowing another path.

Around the year 1977,Schafer ended up going toCalifornia to attend anevent called the Ameri-can Songwriting Festivalwhere his friend was per-forming. He called aheadof time and found out thefamous musician and TVstar Lawrence Welk wastaping his show there. Hecalled Welk’s agent andtold him he drove 2,100miles to give him some-thing.

Welk pulled Schaferout of the audience andhadhimauditionwithMy-ron Floren, an accordion

player from the show. Hesaid he received a greatresponse from the audi-ence. Welk’s show touredin Louisville that year andSchafer, whowas18 yearsold, met him at the air-port.Welk asked him if hewas going to sing on stagethat night.

“I felt more comfort-able singing in front of 8-10,000 people than I didtalking to 8-10,” he said.

Schafer had other op-portunities to sing withWelk and thought he wasgoing to land a position onthe show, but Welk decid-ed to retire. Schafer con-tinued to pursue a musiccareer, and has had count-less other performanceseversince, includingsing-ing the national anthemforcollegebasketballpro-grams such as Kentucky,Louisville and Xavier, aswell as for the CincinnatiReds.

ALEXANDRIA — Camp-bell County’s search for anew police chief, startedinAugust, remains under-way.

County officials de-clined to put an estimateddate when a new chief ofthe Campbell County Po-lice Department will beannounced.

Chief Keith Hill re-tired Aug. 1 as the fifthchief of the departmentsince 1956. Hill served 10years as chief and joinedthedepartmentasapatrolofficer in 1982.

Since Aug. 1, Lt. Col.

Todd Straman, a 23-yearveteran of the depart-ment, has served as in-terim chief.

Hiring a new policechief is prescribed by apolicy with multiplesteps, said CampbellCounty AdministratorRobert Horine. When theapplication deadlinepassed in August therewere 31 applicants, Ho-rine said.

Applicants had to takea written exam, and thentake an oral exam in frontof a panel of three policechiefs from other North-ern Kentucky depart-ments, Horine said.

The three police chiefs

will forward the results ofthe exams with theirthoughts to Judge-execu-tive Steve Pendery, Ho-rine said.

“Basically, they’vebeen pre-qualified by awritten examination andoral examination and by apanel of chiefs of police,”he said.

Horine said since thepolice chiefs are volun-teering their time, and hedoes not want to name thechiefs on the panel at thistime. The hiring processremains underway andthere is no estimate onwhen a successful candi-datewill be found,hesaid.

“The process is de-

signed tomakesure this isnot a decision that is en-tered into lightly,” Horine

said.This is the same proc-

ess the county followed

when Hill was hired aschief in 2004, he said.

“This is hugely impor-tant for the future of thedepartment,” Penderysaid.

The county takes pridein having a great policedepartment, Penderysaid. When the right can-didate is found a decisionand then an announce-ment will be made, hesaid.

“It is a long involvedelaborate process, butthat happens because it’ssuch an importantchoice,” Pendery said.

COLD SPRING — In hishands was a souvenirfrom a life devoted to ser-vice: A white helmet.

“It’s the most excitingjob in the world,” heshared with a smile.

On the helmetwere thewords “Central Campbell

Co. Chief.”He had led the Central

Campbell County FireDistrict since the year2000, when it was createdby a merger of the ColdSpring - Crestview andHighland Heights depart-ments.

On Nov. 1, Chief JerrySandfoss beganhis retire-ment.

“I was 17 when I start-

ed out with HighlandHeights. We lived onlyhalf a block from the fire-house,”ChiefSandfossre-called. “And when I didmy first drill, I washooked.”

In a career spanning 46years, the Beverly HillsSupper Club fire in 1977was his worst experience.But the job always gavehim satisfaction. “It hasalways been about help-ing people,” he said. “I’venever looked at it as ajob.”

Before being hired tolead theCentralCampbellCounty Fire District,Sandfoss served 28 yearswith theFortThomasFireDepartment.

Will hemiss the excite-ment?

“Yes, I will. But I’mmarried to a great wifeand she’s put up with mebeing away a lot,” he an-swered. “She said, ‘Whenyou retire you’re going tocooka lotmore,’ and I said‘I will.’”

All those years aroundfirehouses have madehimagood cook.His go-torecipe? Beef Budapest.“It’s like a Beef Stroga-noff.”

He also shared that theproudest dayofhis career

was seeing his assistant,Ray Dishman, beingsworn in as the new chiefon Oct 16.

“Hehadbeenmyright-hand man. He always hadmy back and I had his,”Sandfoss said. “He knowsour system and how thedepartment runs.”

“He is a great man,”Dishman replied. “Heshares words of knowl-edge. He’s open-minded,and he explains thingsreal well.”

What did he learn themost from Chief Sand-foss?

“Do your best everyday,” Dishman answered.“And enjoy every day,your career is short.”

He mentioned thatstaffing will be one of thebig challenges in the fu-ture. “We do a fine jobnow, but there are dayswhen you’re really busy,and as the communitygrows your run volumegoes up.”

“You get up in the mid-dle of the night. You haveto be committed to it.You’re training all thetime,” Sandfoss ex-plained. “That’s whywe’re having a tough timefinding volunteers.”

This time of year,there’s a lot of comfort inwakingup themorningaf-ter a snowfall and know-ing the roads will be clearand safe to drive.

But that peace of mindis coming at a higher cost:Thepriceof roadsalt isupmore than 40 percentthanks to last year’s harshwinter, when demandwasso high thatmanymunici-palitiesranoutofsaltalto-gether.

Northern Kentuckycounties are faring betterthan most: Boone, Camp-bell and Kenton are eachpaying less than $85 perton, compared with the$105 Hamilton County ispaying this year. (The cityofCincinnati ispaying$75per ton.)

“Weare actually in bet-ter shape than many localgovernments: many peo-ple are paying over $100 aton this winter, and someactually had difficulty se-

curing an agreement forsalt,” saidCampbellCoun-ty Administrator RobertHorine.

Still, it’s a pretty steephike from last year’s $65-per-ton range. So munici-palities are finding cre-ative ways to mitigate thecost while still ensuringroads are safe for drivers.

Several counties se-cured agreements forroad salt last summer,when snowfall was proba-bly the last thing on driv-ers’ minds. Some evenstocked up in June, justbefore this year’s higherprice kicked in.

Others are exploringchemical treatments;Campbell County, for ex-ample, got into the brinebusiness this year, spend-ing $7,500 on secondhandequipment to make thepretreatment solution inan effort to cut back onhowmuchsalt crewsneedto spread after the snowfalls.

Boone County, mean-while, is looking at build-ing a second salt dome in

the southwestern end ofthe county to reduce thehours (and gas) wasteddriving to and from themain dome in Burlington.

KentonCounty is usinga salt/sandmix in additionto traditional road salt.Cincinnati, meanwhile,has retrofitted snow-plows to release less salt,and the city plans to usemoresnow-meltingchem-icals.

Still, clearing thoseroads comes at a cost:Kenton County used 300tons — or almost $25,000worth — of road salt lastweek alone during thewinter’s first snowfall.

“But it’s worth everypenny,becauseweneed toget people around safely,we don’t want carwrecks,and commerce needs tohappen,” said County Ad-ministrator Joe Shriver.

Despite the hike in saltprices, however, countiesaren’t necessarily plan-ning to spend more thanduring last year’s unusu-ally harsh winter.

Feldmann said theteam will be strong inside andyoung in the backcourt. TheMustangs have won the lastthree 10th Region All “A” titlesand will be looking to extendthat streak as well as have astrong postseason.

Juniors centerEmilySchultzis the top returner, having aver-aged nine points and eight re-bounds a game last season. Oth-ers to watch start with SydneyShannon, Abby King and OliviaNienaber.

Campbell County was 10-17last year and has a new headcoach this year in Beau Mene-fee.

Junior Kylie Kramerwas the leading scorer last yearat 11.5 points per game with 22made 3-pointers, and juniorTaylor Jolly averaged 9.1pointswith 27made 3-pointers. Fresh-man Taylor Clos averaged fivepoints a game and should con-tribute more as she gets older.Menefee expects to start twofreshmen every game, with an-other being the first off thebench.

NEWPORT — NewportCentral Catholic juniorrunning back Jake Smithrushed for five touch-downs, while Newporthad four critical turn-overs Friday night inNewCath’s 42-26 win inthe regional finals of theKHSAA Class 2A statefootball playoffs.

Smith finished with176 yards on 27 carries.He helped the Thorough-breds answer Newport’sscores and take advan-tage of its miscues. New-Cathwill advance to takeon ShelbyValley this Fri-day on the road in thestate semifinals, after ittook down Prestonsburg,20-14, Friday night. Thewin marked the second-straight regional title forthe Thoroughbreds un-der second-year headcoach DanWagner.

“Jake’s pretty darngood,” Wagner said sim-ply when asked aboutSmith’s standout perfor-mance.

Three fumbles costNewport dearly in thefirst half.

“Those turnoverswere huge,” Wagnersaid. “We tried to getthem to do some thingsthat they weren’t com-fortable doing, but theywere still able to throwtheballdeeponus.Fortu-nately, we came out witha win.”

After getting a huge

defensive stop deep intheir own territory andreceiving a gift whenNewCath missed a 25-yard field goal on itsopening possession, theWildcats looked to be inbusiness as they movedtheball intoNewCathter-ritory over the course ofa nine-play drive. How-ever, NewCath juniorErik Anderson recov-ered Dominic Joseph’sfumble at the NewCath32, and Smith scored hisfirst touchdown less thantwominutes later, after a36-yard pass from sopho-more quarterback Pat-rick Henschen to seniorNate Enslen took theBreds down toNewport’s1.

Enslen was the cata-lyst for NewCath’s of-fense in the first half.The short but explosivereceiver hauled in fourcatches for 98 yards, allbefore halftime.

Henschen played bril-liantly throughout thegame,completing12of19passes for 156 yards,while converting somekey third down passesand keeping the ballaway from theWildcats.

“Pat’s a great player,”Smith said. “He really is.He’s one of the best quar-terbacks in this area, andhe’s only 15 years old sohe’s only going to con-tinue to get better eachgame.”

A 52-yard completionfrom Newport seniorquarterback Paul Price

to senior receiver RyanOchoa set up a 25-yardfield goal for TaylenSpicer on the first play ofthe second quarter to gettheWildcats on theboardand half NewCath’s lead,6-3.

That’s when disasterstruck for the Wildcats.

After forcing a quickthree-and-out on de-fense, they fumbledNewCath’s punt and theBreds recovered at theNewport 10. Two playslater, Smith scored froma yard out.

Bad went to worse forthe Wildcats, as theyfumbled the ensuingkickoff as well, givingNewCath possessionback at the Newport 22.The Newport defenseheld tough initially, forc-

ing the Breds into a 4th-and-21, but Henschenwas able to convert itwhenhefoundEnslenfora 33-yard touchdown tomake it 18-3 with 9:29 toplay in the half.

Smith almost had an-other touchdown on theBreds’ next possession,but he had a 75-yard puntreturn called back for ahold.Hemadeupfor itbyscoring on a 68-yardtouchdown run on thefirst play of their follow-ing drive.

“It’s a great feeling toplay this way in the play-offs,” Smith said. “I giveall the credit tomyoffen-sive line. The holes werehuge tonight. They gaveme all the running spacein the world.”

Joseph put the first

touchdown of the gameon theboard for theWild-cats when he scored on a1-yard run with 13 sec-onds left in the half tomake the score 25-11 athalftime.

Newport made thegame interesting in thesecond half.

The Wildcats scoredon a 35-yard touchdownpass fromPrice to Ochoato start the third quarter,and then again on a 3-yard run byPrice to startthe fourth quarter.Price’s two-point conver-sion run made it 28-26with 10:14 left in thegame.

Price finished his spe-cial senior season offwith 193 yards and atouchdown on 11 of 19passing to go with 54yards and a touchdownon17carries. Josephadd-ed 36 yards and a scoreon 11 carries.

Buoyed by two third-and-6 first down comple-tions from Henschen tosenior Brady Gray, theBreds’ ensuing 12-play,70-yard drive gave themsome breathing roomwhen Smith plunged infrom a yard out.

Newport then fum-bled the ball back to theBreds just three playslater, and Smith closedthe game out with a 24-yard touchdown run tomake the final score 42-26.

Enslen intercepted apass fromPricewith 2:53left to seal the victory.

A publication of

Gallup did a survey thissummer. It asked people howmuch confidence they had invarious institutions.

According to the survey,only 7 percent of Americanssaid they trusted Congress agreat deal or quite a lot, com-pared with 29 percent whotrusted the presidency.

Small business, on the otherhand, came in second, with 62percent of those surveyedconsidering it trustworthy. Theonly organization to scorehigher, not surprisingly, wasthe military.

While our politicians squab-ble, Main Street has endured.Some small-business owners,instead of laying people off,have cut their own salaries tokeep their full complement ofemployees. Others have dippedinto savings or taken out sec-

ond mortgagesto keep theirdoors open orto avoid cut-ting back em-ployee hours.

That’s in-credible, whenyou thinkabout it, andwhen we havea chance tothank smallbusiness and

support it, we should take it.We’ll have that opportunity

on Small Business Saturday.Small Business Saturday is

the Saturday after Thanks-giving, the Saturday afterBlack Friday, when a time forfamilies to wake early, sit intraffic, compete with otherdrivers for decent parkingspots, jostle with crowds and

stand in line to buy thingsprobably no one asked for orreally wants.

Small Business Saturday isthe opposite of that.

The campaign to “shopsmall” on the Saturday afterThanksgiving started in 2010as an effort to give small busi-nesses – many of which werestruggling to get out of the redafter a long recession – amuch-needed shot in the arm.

Since then, it has become apowerful movement to giveback to the brick-and-mortarestablishments that line ourMain Streets and keep ourcommunities vibrant.

The concept is simple: In-stead of sitting at home andordering online or “one-stop-shopping” at the nearest “big-box” store, you shop at small,locallyo wned businesses for

things you simply can’t find atthe mall, and instead of dealingwith temporary workers whodon’t know the merchandise,there’s a good chance you’ll bedealing directly with the own-er, who cares very much aboutmaking you happy so you’llcome back time and againthroughout the year.

And like Black Friday, SmallBusiness Saturday comes withits own deals and discounts.

Shoppers are wising up toSmall Business Saturday. Lastyear, shoppers spent $5.7 bil-lion at locally owned shops andrestaurants on Small BusinessSaturday, according to a sur-vey conducted by AmericanExpress and the National Fed-eration of Independent Busi-ness. Last year’s total markeda 3.6 percent increase over2012’s event.

It’s strange to think thatdoing something so modest canhave such a big impact, but itdoes.

When you shop local andshop small, you’re supportingyour friends and neighbors.You’re supporting your com-munity.

When you shop at a chainstore, most of the money goesback to some corporate officesomewhere, but when you shoponMain Street, most of thatmoney stays onMain Street.

This holiday season, make adifference in your community:Shop local on Small BusinessSaturday.

Nov. 20 questionWhat is your favorite local

holiday event/tradition/deco-ration(s)? What makes it spe-cial?

“I like the Christkindl-markt at Germania Park onWest Kemper Road (last)weekend. It’s a GermanChristmas party like theyhave in Germany. Great foodand drinks, German music,petting zoo for the kids. Pic-tures with St. Nick.”

Mike Billow

“Every Christmas Eve wego to the Conservatory to seethe Nativity.”

Terry Smith

“Going to cut a live tree atone of the local tree farms.”

John Scales

“We take our daughter toFountain Square on a Sat-urday night in December togo ice skating, drink hot choc-olate and watch Santa rappeloff the roof of the Macy’sbuilding. We’ve been doingthis for seven years now andthis year we have a new littleone so we get to start thetradition with her too!”

Julie Graessle

“I love ‘A BurlingtonChristmas’ and the reason is

that all of the merchants pulltogether with a Christmasspirit to highlight this won-derful holiday in our lovelylittle town. Maybe nothing bigand extravagant happens, butit is the spirit of each personthat works hard toward thisevent that makes it joyful andfestive for those of us whoparticipate. It makes us all

become one family.”Linda Ann Salsbury

“We love the trains at Beh-ringer-Crawford Museum.”

Julia D. Pile

“There are many greatdisplays and traditions in theTristate area. It is hard tosingle one out. But the DukeEnergy Miniature Trainsdisplay now at the MuseumCenter is hard to top. Pluswith the other displays at theMuseum Center it is in aneven better location now. Alsonoted is the wonderful traindisplay now done by GreenTownship. Sometimes im-itation is the sincerest formof flattery. It seems back inthe 1950s every kid got a min-iature train set for Christmas.Go figure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONIf the Republican-controlledSenate which takes office inJanuary passes a bill green-lighting the Keystone XL pipe-line, should the president signthe bill or veto it? Why?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troomin the subject line.

As we get into the holidayseason, many of us get manyletters and phone calls request-ing contributions to variouscharitable organizations. Mostcharities receive most of their

donationsbetweenThanksgivingand Christmas.Most charitiesdo very won-derful workfor the needyand we arecertainly for-tunate to haveso many peo-ple dedicatedto servingothers.

However, there are always afew rotten apples in the chari-table organization barrel thatcan spoil the entire processand give a bad name to thelegitimate charities. We allneed to make wise choices indonating money because someorganizations that claim to becharities may not be entirelyforthcoming. It is importantfor people to take the time tomake sure that whatever mon-ey or items they are donatingwill be used appropriately. Anyhonest and legitimate organi-zation will be willing to sharepertinent information withpotential givers.

When charities contact youasking for donations, it is agood idea to ask that charity toprovide written informationabout the organization includ-ing the exact name of the or-ganization, the organization’spurpose, tax identificationnumber, and howmuch of eachdollar is used for true charita-

ble purposes. Some groups usenames that sound like estab-lished charities in order toconfuse potential donors.

Givers should be wary ofthe following tactics that manyfraudulent organizations use:

1. High pressure calls andmail solicitations that empha-size emotional content butcontain little or no substance;

2. Charities that won’t sendwritten material until youdonate. Somemay use theexcuse that it is too costly orthat there isn’t enough time;

3. Phone calls and letterstelling people that they havewon money or charitable priz-es from a charity, but that youneed to send in somemoney tocollect the prize. Also someorganizations may send lettersstating that you have alreadypledged money to that organi-zation. You shouldn’t sendmoney unless you are one hun-dred percent sure that you didindeed pledge money to theorganization;

4. Callers who want to sendsomeone over to pick up thecontribution rather than itbeing sent at a later time.

Unfortunately many un-scrupulous people and organi-zations tend to prey on ourolder citizens. Many oldercitizens tend to be more trust-ing and generous. We shouldall be careful to never givecash or credit card numbers tostrangers posing as employeesof charitable organizations.Checks should always be madepayable only to the full nameof the charity.

In the most recent politicalelection in Dayton, Kentucky,one of the places to vote wasFirst Baptist Church, Dayton.

I am the pastor of thechurch, and was in and out ofthe building all day. I observedthe poll workers at work forseveral hours.

I was overwhelmed by howkind, considerate and friendlythe four ladies were to thepeople who came to vote thatTuesday. Most of the workersknew by namemost of the

people who came to vote.These kind and efficient

workers were Karen Trumbull,Cindy O’Bryant, Connie Jetand Laura Reynolds.

If every voting place wasfilled with workers like thesefour ladies, the residents ofDayton had an extremely goodexperience the day they voted.-

ELSMERE—The spirit ofThanksgiving was early andreal for Independence residentTia Walters on Sunday.

Walters drove to LifeLineMinistries at 4114 Dixie High-way in Elsmere to pick up afood box to help make the holi-day special. It was her firsttime accepting charity of thiskind.

“Right now it’s me and mydaughter,” Walters said. “I’mtrying to raise a kid on myown. I’m trying to start myown business, my cleaningbusiness.

“It’s a little rough right now.Trying to get food on the tableand bills paid. Thank Godthey’re here,” she said, nod-ding toward the box distribu-tion underway.

Walters and 330 familieswere greeted warmly by Life-Line volunteers, some of whomwore Thanksgiving turkeycostumes or hats. It made for afun, welcoming mood.

Chris Caddell, a banker whofounded LifeLine 10 years agoas a project out of his base-ment, got into the spirit of funduring Sunday’s food box dis-tribution. His long-sleevedT-shirt read “Got turkey?”

We spoke with Caddell for afewminutes as he took a quickbreak in a LifeLine office:

Q: Tell me, what’s going onhere today?

A:We’re having a Thanks-giving food box giveaway. Wehave about 330 families thatwe’ve preregistered that are inneed in the Northern Kentuckycommunity that will comethrough today and tomorrowand receive a food drive boxthat was provided to usthrough one of our church

partners, Crossroads Church.They will come through and

get a box that’s absolutelyloaded with everything thatpeople need including turkeypans, basters, the turkey itself,fresh vegetables, cannedgoods, dessert items, coffee,tea – everything to provide ameal for up to 12 people.

And they’ll take that homefor free – probably upwards of$85 to $100 worth of groceriesin each box.

Q: In a nutshell, what kindof services do you providehere?

A:We are an organizationthat provides immediate needsto people in poverty and it’s abroad range of items. It can beclothing, coats, shoes, boots,dress clothes for people thatneed clothing for job inter-views, blue collar items forpeople that work outdoors.

We also provide a variety offood, clothing, fresh produce.We provide baby-related itemsfor newmoms all the waydown to cribs, pack ‘n’ plays.We give away thousands ofdiapers and wipes every year.

We also have a thrivingfurniture and appliance minis-try that gives away nearly2,000 pieces of furniture andappliances every year to peo-ple in need. We’ve been in peo-ple’s home that don’t havebasic furniture to sit on as faras a sofa or even a kitchentable and chairs to eat at.

Q: Where do the peoplelive that you’re helping out?Is there a geographic area?

A: We’ve never had a geo-graphical boundary. So themajority of people we help arein Northern Kentucky, all theway out into outlying countieslike Pendleton County, down

into Warsaw. But we do helppeople in Hamilton County. Wehave people in Over-the-Rhinethat come across the river forhelp here. We’ve never turnedanyone away here for helpregardless of where they’refrom.

Q: What’s next after thisThanksgivingmeal? Anyother big projects down thepike?

A:We’ve actually alreadybeen registering a lot of peoplefor Christmas support. We’vebeen getting a lot of calls fromfamilies that need help atChristmas time. We have an-other church partner in thearea, First Church of Christ inBurlington, they’ve been anincredible partner of oursreally almost since welaunched our ministry 10 yearsago.

They have a Santa’s Work-

shop every year and last yearthey were very nice to allow usto send over 450 children therewith their parents to have a hotmeal, to visit with Santa andhave presents for all of theirkids.

This year we’ve alreadyregistered that many childrenfor that. When we’ve reachedthat capacity as we have thisyear, we solicit donors in thecommunity to adopt additionalchildren which we’re actuallydoing now. And we have abacklog of about 150 kids thatwe’re trying to get adoptedwith donor families.

Q: If people want to getinvolved, where should theycontact you?

NOVEMBER 27, 2014 • ALEXANDRIA RECORDER • B3LIFE

My clothesline is lad-en today, not with laun-dry, but with 3 inches ofsnow and ice –so much

that it dipsin the mid-dle.

I wasstunnedwhen Iwent outearly tofeed andwater the“girls”/chickens.What a

beautiful sight. The snowclung to everything,from the tallest pine treeto the overhang on theouthouse to the trailingthyme in the herb gar-den. It was so cold that Ihad to take boiling waterto the chicks. After just acouple of minutes, theydipped their beaks intopleasantly warmwater.

Nutella swirl poundcake

This cake was one ofthe baked goods for saleat Western Hills gardenclub’s harvest event. Itintrigued me because itcame with a recipe. Afterone bite I had to make itwith my homemade Nu-tella. In spite of the Nu-tella, the cake is not toosweet. A nice gift fromthe kitchen, as it can befrozen for a month.

1 -1/2 cups all-purposeflour, plus more for dust-ing

4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 teaspoons vanilla3/4 teaspoon baking

powder1/4 teaspoon salt2 sticks unsalted but-

ter, softened1 -1/4 cups sugarOne 13-ounce jar Nu-

tella, warmed if neces-sary for easing spreading

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Lightly greaseand flour a 9x5 loaf pan.Lightly beat eggs withvanilla. Whisk flour withbaking powder and salt.Beat butter with sugar onmedium-high until fluffy,about 3 minutes. On me-dium-low, gradually beategg mixture until fullyincorporated. Add flourmixture in 3 batches,beating on low between

additions until just in-corporated. Continue tobeat for 30 seconds long-er. Spread one-third ofbatter in pan, then spreadhalf of Nutella on top.Repeat with anotherthird of batter and rest ofNutella. Top with remain-ing batter. Lightly swirlNutella into batter. Don’tover mix. Bake for about1 hour and 15 minutes,until toothpick insertedin center comes outclean. Let cool in pan for15 minutes. Invert ontowire rack, turn right sideup and let cool complete-ly.

Gilding the lily: Aftercooling, drizzle on a glazemade with 1/2 cup con-fectioners sugar andeither 1 tablespoonbrewed espresso or milkor water with 1 teaspoonvanilla.

Tip:When freezing baked

goods, cool completelybefore freezing.

Otherwise, moisturebuilds up in the freezer,causing stickiness.

Miriam’s spicedpecans

One of the nicestthings about what I do isthe people I meet. LikeDiane Blackburn.

She fixed a delicioussalad for Village garden-ers of Glendale’s meetingand topped it with hermom’s pecans. When shetold me the story of thepecans, I knew I had toshare it with you.

Here’s what Dianesaid: “I especially wantyou to have mymom’srecipe for her easy-but-delicious holiday pecans.This is the recipe, writ-ten in her own hand, thatI had reproduced, andenclosed in the acknowl-edgment notes sent afterher funeral – a personallittle gift from her – tofamily and friends. Manyhave expressed theirdelight in receiving herrecipe. Some have nowmade the pecans them-selves for the first time,after receiving them inChristmas boxes frommymom in past years.”

1 cup sugar1/4 cup water

2 Tablespoons cinna-mon

2 cups pecan halvesHave a bowl with a

tight fitting lid ready (Iuse Tupperware) with ¾cup sugar and 1Table-spoon cinnamon inside.Cook the remaining sug-ar, water, and cinnamonand bring to a boil, stir-ring constantly. Cookuntil it forms a soft ballwhen dropped into aglass of cold water, just afew drops at a time. Thesecret here is to workvery fast.

When the syrup isready, dump in the pe-cans and toss with a

wooden spoon until allpecans are coated. Thenput them in the bowl,secure the lid, and shake.Dump them on a cookiesheet lined with waxpaper. Separate those

that are stuck together.That’s it.

November is NationalDiabetes AwarenessMonth. That’s why theKentucky Optometric As-sociation is remindingpeople that an annual eyeexam is important for de-tecting eye diseases thatdiabetics are more likelyto develop.

Diabetes interfereswith the body’s ability touseandstoresugar,whichcan cause damagethroughout the body, in-cluding the eyes. Overtime, diabetes affects thecirculation system of theretina, which is the light-sensitive lining at theback of the eye.

With an estimated 10percent of Kentuckianshaving diabetes, regulardilated eye exams arecritical to prevent visionloss, according to Dr. Jo-seph Cory Bastin, an op-tometrist in Hopkinsville.

“All too often, eyeproblems show no symp-toms until they are in anadvancedstage, and that’swhy we recommend thatpeople with diabetes inparticular have an eye ex-amination by a doctor ofoptometry at least once ayear,” Bastin said. “When

the eyes are dilated, aneyedoctor isable toexam-ine the retina for signs ofdiabetic eye disease andprescribe a course oftreatment to help pre-serve an individual’ssight.”

Peoplewith diabetes atgreater risk for eye, vi-sion disorders

People with diabetesareat a significantlyhigh-er risk for developing eyediseases including glau-coma, cataracts and dia-betic retinopathy, one ofthe most serious sight-threatening complica-tions of diabetes.

Diabetics are 40 per-cent more likely to sufferfrom glaucoma than peo-ple without diabetes and60 percent more likely toget cataracts. People withdiabetes also tend to getcataractsatayoungerageand have them progressfaster.

Diabetic retinopathy isa condition that causesprogressive damage tothe retina. Damage to thetiny blood vessels thatnourish the retina causesswelling of retinal tissueand clouding of vision. Ifleft untreated, diabetic

retinopathy may lead toblindness.

Since early warningsigns of diabetic eye andvision disorders are oftensubtle or undetected, theKentucky Optometric As-sociation recommendsthat high-risk individualslook for initial signs andcontact a doctor of optom-etry if any of the follow-ing symptoms are pre-sent:

» Sudden blurred ordouble vision

» Trouble reading orfocusing on near-work

» Eye pain or pressure» A noticeable aura or

dark ring around lights orilluminated objects

» Visible dark spots invision or images of flash-ing lights

“Therealso are severalthings people can do tohelp prevent or slow thedevelopment of diabeticeyedisease, includingeat-ing a healthy diet that in-cludes Omega 3s, freshfruits and vegetables; ex-ercising regularly, con-trolling high blood pres-sure, and avoiding alcoholand smoking,” Bastinsaid.

Annual eye exams especiallyimportant for diabetics

You find yourselfsuddenly in need of alocksmith and turn to theYellow Pages or callInformation on yourphone. When you do youcould be asking for trou-ble thanks to bait-and-switch tactics used byseveral companiesaround the nation.

The Ohio AttorneyGeneral last month sueda Portland-area lock-smith operation andcharged the owner withviolating consumer pro-tection laws.

Attorney GeneralMike DeWine says, “Con-sumers are lured in by alow initial price, but thenare charged much higherrates.”

I reported on this

scam sev-en yearsago when aDayton,Kentucky,womantold meher fiancecalledInforma-tion to find

a locksmith. He was giv-en the name of a firmthat quoted him $50 overthe phone to come andopen their front door.But, she says, when thelocksmith got there theprice quickly jumped to$149 because of all thedifferent fees theytacked on.

It turned out that com-pany was operating outof New York and hired

local people to take itsreferrals. The attorneygeneral says that’s exact-ly what that Portlandfirm was doing – eventhough consumersthought they were deal-ing with a local company.

DeWine says, “Thesekinds of operations takeadvantage of consumersand unfairly undercutlocal, honest locksmithbusinesses.”

Another problem withsuch companies is some-times they have to breakthe lock in order to get itopen. That’s what hap-pened to that Dayton,Kentucky, woman.

Matt Hepner and hisfraternity brothers atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity always look for-ward to PhilanthropyWeek, butwere especiallydetermined to raise a lotof money this year, be-cause they felt connectedto the new cause theywere raising money for.

This is the first yearthe SigmaPhiEpsilon fra-ternity raised funds forBig Brothers Big Sisters.

According to Hepner,“This was a way for thebrothers in our chapter toreallyservethecommuni-ty. It’s been amazing tohear people on campustell us they’ve been in-volved with BBBS locallyfor years.”

Through a relay race,date auction and otherevents, the Sig Eps donat-ed $2,800 to Big BrothersBig Sisters of GreaterCincinnati. The mentor-ingagencypairsadultvol-unteer mentors with chil-dren who can benefitfrom having a positiverole model.

Thatmission drove thefraternity brothers tomake the most of theirfundraising efforts. “Allthe work we did is for thekids,” Hepner said. “Thegoal is to better their livesas much as possible.Knowingwe helped a kidsfind greatmentors to lookup to is the best part of it,even if we never meetthem.”

In fact, they might al-ready know a Big Sisteron campus. Stephanie Lu-cier, a student at NKU,was chosen as Big Sisterof the Year in 2014. Shewas paired with a littlegirl named Daminica andthey met at Daminica’sschool in Aurora, Indiana,every week. Lucier isfrom Lawrenceburg, butwhen she started classesat NKU, she continued tomake thecommute to stayconnected to Daminica.

As for the brothers ofSigma Phi Epsilon, theyalso hope efforts like Phi-lanthropy Week helpchange some stereotypesabout Greek life on col-

lege campuses. Theywantpeopletoknowaboutthe thousands of hoursthey spend studying, per-forming community ser-vice and raising moneyfor nonprofit organiza-tions.

Kathy List, presidentand CEO of Big BrothersBig Sisters of GreaterCincinnati,met thefrater-nity members severaltimes during Philanthro-py Week, and was so im-pressed shewrote a letterto NKU President Geof-fery Mearns. In it shewrote,”Start to finish, theexperiencewas one of themost refreshing and reas-suring examples that ourfuture is in good handswith a generation ofyoung men from North-ern Kentucky Univer-sity.”

The Kentucky StateFire Marshal is askingKentuckians to be mind-ful of fire prevention ef-forts and inspect homeheatingappliancesascoldweather settles in Ken-tucky this week.

“According to nationalstatistics, heating equip-ment is one of the leadingcauses of home fires dur-ing the winter months,”said FireMarshalWilliamSwope, director of Ken-tucky’s Division of FirePrevention. “It’snever tooearly to prepare for theheating season.”

The following fire

safety tips from the U.S.Fire Administration canhelp maintain a fire-safehome this winter season:

Be sure your keroseneheater is in good workingcondition.

Never use fuel burningappliances without prop-er room venting. Burningfuel can produce deadlyfumes.

Use only the fuel rec-ommended by the manu-facturer.

Never refuel the heat-er while it is in operation.Always refuel outdoors.

Keep young childrenaway from space heaters.

DEATHS

As a gardener, hereare some things forwhich I am thankful …

I am thankful for thecold weather, since it isactually necessary formany wonderful thingsto happen in the spring.

The beautiful tulipsand daffodils that bright-en our spring need thecold temperatures ofwinter to help thembloom. Oak trees andmany other trees andshrubs of our woodsrequire winter chilling ofthe acorns and seedsbefore they will germi-nate and grow to renewthe woods in the spring.

Even apples and someother fruit trees needcold chilling for them toproduce fruit. Winterchilling (“vernalization”)is necessary for seedproduction of winterwheat and many vegeta-bles.

I am thankful for theincredible adaptabilityand diversity of plants.There are plants that willperform well in almostany given situation, in-cluding sites with flood-ing, heavily compactedclay soils, rocky or sandysoils, saline (salty) soils,high or low soil pH, ex-treme heat and drought,deep shade, severeslopes, extreme cold, etc.Just about anywhere yougo, you will see plantsgrowing that are well-adapted to that site andthose weather conditions.

In addi-tion, plantscome inevery size,shape andgrowthhabit. Theyrange fromextremedwarfsthat arejust a fewinches tall,

to the giant redwoods ofCalifornia. Growth habitsrange from upright torounded to vase-shapedto wide-spreading tocolumnar to weeping ormounded.

An endless palette ofcolors and textures occurin the plant world. Do anonline search for photosof the amazing bark col-ors of the rainbow gum

eucalyptus trees in Ha-waii, or the thousands offabulous flowers thatbrighten our days (seeamazing plant photos atbit.ly/BooneHortNews).

Bring home someflowers from the floristto brighten your home inthe winter. Also, try to bemore aware of the colorsaround you each day, andenjoy the beauty, year-round. For even in thewinter, many colors arethere to see, from theornamental grasses tothe bright red berries ofthe hawthorns and hol-lies.
