BURLINGTON— James Craw-ford’s prodigiously plump pep-per might be one for the recordbooks.

During the tomato and pep-per tasting party at the BooneCounty Cooperative ExtensionOffice on Aug. 19, Crawfordbrought the robust red bell pep-per for the largest pepper con-test, but it wasn’t until he wascompleting the trivia quiz thathe thought it might be particu-larly peculiar.

“It’s sortof ironic,” saidMikeKlahr, the Boone County Exten-sionagent. “Wehadatriviaquiz,20 multiple-choice-type ques-tions about tomatoes and pep-pers. One of the questions wasto tell the weight of the largestpepper in the world. It was 0.63pounds, and Jim said, ‘If that’sright, mine is heavier.’”

Klahr visited the bookstoreand the library to find the mostrecent edition of the GuinnessBook of World Records.

According to the 2013 edi-tion, the world’s heaviest pep-per is 10.08 ounces, was grown

inArizona andwasmeasured inNovember 2009.

The record is also repeatedonline, atguinnessworldrecords.com.

Crawford’s bright red KingArthur bell pepper weighs 10.5ounces.

“I was surprised,” saidKlahr. “You never expect tohave a world record.”

During the party, they tasted81 varieties of tomatoes and 45types of peppers.

The largest tomato weighed2 pounds and 14 and three-eighths ounces and was grownbyLarryandCarolAnnMorrowof Union.

According to Guinness, theworld’s heaviest tomatoweighed7poundsand12ouncesand was measured in 1986.

“We’re having fun. We knowvegetable records don’t last,”said Crawford, who lives in Pe-tersburg.

He earned the title MasterGardener through the programoffered at the Extension office,and serves on the board.

“This Cooperative ExtensionJim Crawford of Petersburg grew this King Arthur bell pepper, which is nearly a half-ounce heavier than thelargest pepper listed in the 2013 Guinness Book of World Records. AMY SCALF/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

RABBITHASH—For 35years,neighbors, friends and sight-seers have converged to cele-brate days gonebywith amusicfestival and a variety of ven-dors that increases this tinytown’s population tenfold.

For Old Timer’s Day, a fullschedule of activities will takeplace between the barn and theRabbit Hash General Store be-tween 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. Satur-day, Aug. 30.

“People from all aroundcome to get a taste of the appe-tizing food, enchanting bandsand cultural people that inhabitRabbit Hash on this most spe-cial of days,” said Terrie Mar-kesbery, proprietress of theGeneral Store and organizer ofRabbit Hash’s Old Timer’s Day.

Some people like to comejust to pet the mayor, a dognamed Lucy Lou.

According to Don Clare ofthe Rabbit Hash Historical So-ciety, the event started in 1978as a reunion for neighborhoodfolks, where they’d bring a cov-ered dish and sit and talk aboutthe good old days.

“It’s morphed into a regularbig festival, but it’s still RabbitHash. We have a good time,”said Clare. “Any proceeds wemake from the raffle and split-the-pot, or the silent auction,any proceeds we get go to theRabbit Hash Historical Societyto preserve the town. With anall-wooden townnext to amajorriver, it needs a lot of mainte-nance.Wedo this to take care ofthe town and buildings so thisthing can continue.”

A silent auction will take

place inside thetown’smuseum.“It’s kind of a big deal, 35

years,” said Markesbery. “OldTimer’sDay really is fun for thewhole family, and it pays hom-age to thepeoplewhohave livedhere a long time.”

She said the barn, whichholdsdanceseveryFridaynightduringthesummer,willhost the“Barnival,” full of carnivalgames for children.

The stage outside will host alineup of bands including Cin-cinnati Dancing Pigs, Down-town Country Band, G Milesand the Hitmen, GunpowderCreek, Jake Logan and theMid-night Riders, Keshvar Project,Lagniappe and NorthsideSheiks.

Crawford credits histwo mentors for helpinghis horticultural talentsblossom.

First, he said his father,Ellis Crawford, “had adeep love for science andnature, and I guess a littlebitofthatrubbedoffonmeas well.”

His second mentor isFranklin Brown, in whosememory Klahr said anaward is given at theBoone County Fair, for themost blue ribbons won for

fruits and vegetables.Crawford’s favorite

homegrown produce iscantaloupe, but in the1970s, he grew a batch ofpeanuts just for fun.

“Itwasanovelty. Igrewpopcorn and peanuts forthe kids, but those peanutswere bigger than a roll ofnickels,” he said.

He took the large le-gumes to the Boone Coun-ty Recorder office for aphoto and article, but nev-er thought about breakingrecords at the time.

FLORENCE — Some col-lectcoins, othersantiques,but Tim Maloney fancieslibrary cards.

Maloney, of Falmouth,has been collecting li-brary cards from all overthe world the last sevenyears.

A portion of his collect-ibles, totaling more than2,200, is on display at theFlorence Branch of theBoone County Public Li-brary on Dixie Highwaynow through Sunday, Aug.31.

“I love libraries,”Malo-ney said. “I love to read, I

have about 6,000 to 7,000books inmy house. I’ve al-ways enjoyed going to thelibrary too. It’s a nice re-laxing place.”

He got the idea to starthis collectionwhenhewasvisiting a library in WakeCounty, North Carolina.He went to the library touse a computer and re-quested a visitor’s pass.

“The man at thecounter asked, ‘Why don’tyou just get amembershipcard?’ Maloney said. “Isaid, ‘Sure.’ Then, Ithought it’d be neat to getcards from all over thecountry. As I traveled, I’dget them. Then, when I in-juredmyshoulderandlost

my job, I started contact-ing libraries from aroundthe world, getting evenmore cards.”

Maloney’s collectionrepresents 1,942 librarysystems in all 50 states,the District of Columbia,and two dozen countries.

He also collects old cardstoo. His oldest is from1970.He said he enjoys hiscollection and especiallyenjoys sharing it with oth-ers.

HEBRON — HenryChamberlain is just 10years old but he’s alreadybuilt his own Acropolis.TheNorthPointeElemen-tary fifth-grade studenthas also built his own pyr-amid and castle.

These architecturalwonders at such a youngage are made possiblewith North Pointe’s sum-mer program MinecraftLiteracy Days.

“We get to explore,play games and are learn-ing at the same time,”Chamberlain said.

AccordingtoChamber-lain, Minecraft LiteracyDays is a “great idea.” It’san ideaNorth Pointe Prin-cipal Michael Shires

cameupwithwhen tryingto think ofways to get stu-dents excited about read-ing and learning.

“I thoughtofMinecraftbecause it’ssomethingmykids really love,” he said.“And I thought it’d be agood tie-in.”

Minecraft is a3-Dcom-puter game that involvesbreaking and placingblocks. It’s the virtual ar-chitect’s skyline and thesky is the limit.

North Pointe’s pro-gram involves studentstaking Accelerated Read-er tests on books theyhave read and then learn-ing about ancient culturesor famous architects.They then build some-thing in relation to the les-son in Minecraft. Stu-dents can continue towork on their creations athome and there are blog-gingopportunities forold-er students.

Technology teacherChris Berry, who helpedwith the program thissummer, said it’s beenquite a successbecauseofMinecraft. Last yearabout 40 students partici-pated during the pro-gram’s debut. This yearparticipation more thandoubled.

“The thing that I like(about) the program isthat Minecraft is a sand-box environment,” Berrysaid. “It gives studentsthe opportunity to ex-plore, build and createand use their own imagi-nations tomake placeswecan only talk about. Thestudents love it.”

BELLEVUE — It was al-most 17 years ago, butMissy Jenkins Smith re-members the shooting atHeath High School in Pa-ducah, Kentucky, as if itwere yesterday.

Smith, who was criti-cally injured during theshooting, visited Belle-vue High School Aug. 22to share her story of sur-vival.

“At 15, I rememberhaving that feeling that Iwas invincible,” she said.“You hear about badthingshappening,youseeit on TV, but it’s so faraway from you. Well,we’re not invincible, badthings can happen.”

Smith learned that les-son on Dec. 1, 1997. Shewas a 15-year-old sopho-more. It was a typicalmorning. She and hertwin sister rushed to getready so they could rideto school with a friend.Before the start of classthey’d meet with a groupof about 30 students forprayer in the lobby ofHeath High School. Shetalked and laughed withher friends, and thenprayer began.

As they said “Amen,”14-year-old Michael Car-neal randomly fired a .22-caliber semi-automaticpistol. Three studentswere killed. Five were in-jured..

Smith spoke in detailabout the moments thatfollowed.

“I had no clue whatwas going on,” she re-called. “First I saw a girlshot in theheadand fall tothe ground. I kept think-

ing this is not real. I didn’tfeel the bullet that hitme.My body became numband I couldn’t hear. I feltmyself floating to theground.”

Smith remembers hertwin sister hovering overher to protect her as gun-fire continued. She re-counted the courageousefforts of an algebrateacher who sat with her,encouraging her to keepher eyes open.

“I learned thatday thatmy teachers thought somuch of the students atHeath,” she said. “Thatday our teachers became

our moms and dads. Ihope that’s a message toyou guys, your teacherslove you and care aboutyou so much.”

Surviving the gunfirewas only half the battle.Smith went on to sharewhat it was like learningshe would be paralyzedfrom the waist down forthe rest of her life.

“When I learned that Iwas paralyzed I was OKwith it,” she said. “I wasOKwith it because I real-ized how blessed I was tobe a live. The bullet wentthrough my left shoulderand bounced through my

body missing every vitalorgan but a lung and myspinal cord. It cameout ofmy right lower back.

“I realized I had beengiven a second chance atlife.”

Smith said she made adecision that she was go-ing to choose to be happywith this second chanceand make the most out ofit.

She has. For 10 yearsshe served as a youthcounselor and wrote abook about her experi-ence and now travels tospeak to students acrossthe country.

“This is something Ineed to do,” she said. “It’simportant and I feel likeI’mmakingadifference.”

Smith, 32, now mar-ried with two children,said she wants to make adifference in the lives ofteenagers. She encour-agedBellevue students tonot accept bullying. Car-neal had been bullied foryears and has said this iswhat prompted him toopen fire on his fellowstudents.

“I don’t think we real-ize the power of ourwordsandhowmuchtheyimpact a person that mo-

ment and for the rest oftheir lives,” she said.

Smith said over theyears, she’s had studentswho had bullied Carnealapologize to her. Theyfeel guilty, she said, but itwasn’t their fault, it wasultimately Carneal’schoice. Even he has apol-ogized, andshe’s forgivenhim.

“We didn’t know thenwhat we know now aboutbullying,” she said to theBellevue high schoolers.“We hope you learn fromour mistakes and you re-fuse to be a bully or allowbullying to occur.”

Bellevue High SchoolPrincipal Dave Ecksteinsaid the presentation res-onated with his students.

“We really believe inhaving assemblies likethis that are meaningfulfor our kids,” he said.“This one was outstand-ing.”

Freshman Julia Rar-din, 14, said she thoughtSmith’s presentation was“touching.”

“What she’s gonethrough was so traumat-ic,” she said. “I’m happyshe’s so positive. Herspeaking made me reallyrealize that life is pre-cious and shouldn’t betaken for granted.”

Rardin said shedoesn’t think bullying is abig issue at BellevueHigh School, and if shesaw someone being bul-lied, then she’d do some-thing – talk to an adult orstand up for the person –to make it stop.

COMMUNITYRECORDEREditor: Nancy Daly, [email protected], 578-1059

CRESCENT SPRINGS —After doubling enroll-ment to 100 students overthe past six years, theNorthern Kentucky Mon-tessoriAcademy installeda new security system be-fore the start of schoolthis year.

A one-room school pri-or to 2009, NKMA hassince quadrupled in sizethrough two expansionsto 10,000 square feet. Theschool, at 2625 AndersonRoad, has four class-roomsandamultipurposespace for music, lunchand after school pro-grams. There is also anoutdoor playground. Theschool serves preschoolthrough sixth grade. Forinformation visitwww.nkmacademy.org.

Lisa Dieso, director ofoperations for the school,credits the growth of theschool to more peopleseeking out theMontesso-ri method.

With more develop-ment in areas off of An-derson Road, there hasbeen a noticeable in-crease incarandfoot traf-fic, said Dieso. A new se-curity system from Hon-eywell Security Groupwith a secure entry sys-tem at each door was add-ed and the windows weredarkened so people can-not see inside, she said.

“We wanted to make achange and be proactivein security,” Dieso said.

People, even familymembers, wanting entryinto thebuildingnowhaveto be buzzed in, she said.There are no securitycodes given out, and em-ployees access the build-ing with badges.

Julia Preziosi, head ofthe school, said shemakesa point of talking to par-ents about the newsecuri-ty system when they visitfor the first time or checkthe school out.

Student safety has al-

ways been a first priority,but with school shootingshappening, additional se-curity isanecessity today,she said.

“We also talked withour local police and firedepartments about lockdown rooms,” Preziosisaid.

Most of the exteriordoors to the school leadfrom the parking lot toclassrooms. Improve-ments to security includ-ed:

» A keyless/auto locksystemhasbeen installed,and visitors entering the

systemmust be buzzed inusinganintercomsystem.

» A fire alarm systemhas been installed withmonitors to alert the firedepartment at all hours ofthe day when smoke de-tectors and notificationsystems are triggered.

» Apanicalarmwasin-stalled that alerts the po-lice immediately whenthere is an intrusion andsecurity breach.

» A video surveillancesystem is still being in-stalled, and so is a fencealong the woods behindthe school.

ERLANGER — BrianMiller says while theremay be a “stigma” at-tached to traditional voca-tional trades, there’s notruth behind the myth.

“There seems to be theassumption that there arenot asmany opportunitiesor as much importance inthese career paths as thatof a college educationpath,” said Miller, execu-tive vice president of theHome Builders Associa-tion of Northern Ken-tucky.

“That’s not true. Youcan go as far as you wantto go with a career in thetrade industry,” Millersaid.

Just ask the carpentry,electricity, heating andair conditioning, remodel-ing and maintenance, ma-sonry, plumbing and

welding professionalswho’ve gone throughNorthern Kentucky’sEnzweiler ApprenticeTraining Program.

Withinthe indus-try arereadilyavailable,steady,good-pay-ing jobs,Miller said,as well asentrepre-

neur opportunities. Help-ing individuals realizethose dreams is the HBAEnzweiler apprenticeprogram’s goal, he said.

That was certainly thecase for Mark Kramerwho graduated from theprogram in the early1980s. Upon graduation,Kramer started workingat Townsley ElectricalContractors. Today he issole owner of the busi-

ness; Kramer took over in2006 once the foundingowner retired.

“I’ve always wanted tobe in business for my-self,” said Kramer, 60, ofEdgewood. “There’s noquestion inmymind thatabig part of me doing thiswas going through theEnzweiler apprenticeprogram.”

The program, whichdates back to 1967, is thenation’s longestcontinual-ly operating, privatelyowned trade school underthe auspices of the Na-tional Association ofHome Builders. It offersfour years of certifiedelectrical training andtwo-year certified curri-culum in carpentry,plumbing, maintenance,remodeling and heating,ventilation and air condi-tioning. A two-year ma-sonry program has re-cently been added.

Theprogram is a regis-tered apprenticeshiptraining program withKentucky’s Departmentof Labor, Miller said. Stu-dentsworkduring thedayand attend the program inthe evening.

“Our industry is in des-perate need of skilledtradespeople and ourschool is growing to fillthose needs,” Miller said.“Weboast a 97percent jobplacement rate and areproud that more than 90percent of our studentsare employed by ourmembers.”

At the end of April, 68students graduated – arecord number of gradu-ates for the program.

Still, the need is grow-ing. According toMiller, arecent study conductedby the association showsthe need for 2,000 addi-tional skilled tradespeo-ple between now and theyear 2020.

“Our program is cur-rently equipped to supply1,000 of those tradespeo-ple and we are working tofill the remainder of theindustry’s needs,” Millersaid.

What makes the Enz-weiler program differentthan any other, according

to Miller, is that it is a“true career path” to li-censure and many gradu-ating classes have a 100percent pass rate on statelicensure exams uponcompleting the program.

“That provides the stu-dent with an acceleratedcareer experience in ahands-on setting,” he said.

The program has beennationally awarded BestWorkforce DevelopmentProgram by the National

Association of HomeBuilders three times inthe last five years. Anoth-eraspect that sets thepro-gram apart is the instruc-tors are those who haveexperience in their re-spective fields. Kramer,owner of Townsley Elec-trical Contractors, for ex-ample, served as an in-structor for 10 years.

NOTICEPlease take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public Service Commission for approval torevise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for electric service and gas service for residential and commercial customersand add new products for its DSM program available to customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers is $0.054918 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 perhundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is $0.003062 perkilowatt-hour (kWh) and for non-residential customers is $0.001128 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000848per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers would increase to $0.055020 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers wouldremain at $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customerswould increase to $0.003094 per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would increase to $0.001249 per kilowatt-hourfor distribution service and would remain at $0.000848 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky. However, the Public Service Commission mayorder a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the ratein this notice. The foregoing rates reflect a proposed increase in electric revenues of approximately $329 thousand or 0.10% overcurrent total electric revenues and an increase of $6 thousand or 0.01% over current gas revenues.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.01 or 0.01%. A typical residential electriccustomer using 1000 kWh in a month will see an increase of $0.03 or 0.03%. A typical non-residential electric customer using40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see an increase of $01.69 or 0.13%. Non-residential gas customers and non-residentialelectric customers served at transmission voltage will see no change in their bills from this application.

Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30) days after publication or mailing of noticeof the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard,P.O.

FIRST SHOT AT 2014 HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

BOONE COUNTY — BooneCounty will have no shortage ofstrong boys soccer teams chas-ingeachotherand theNinthRe-gion title this year.

“The region could be eightdeep. There’s going to be a lot ofparity, and anybody could comeout of that, sowhat I thinkwe’regoing to see is a lot of closegames,” Ryle head coach Ste-phen Collins said. “CovingtonCatholic is maybe the favorite.Six or seven other teams willlook pretty strong by the end ofthe season, and we hope we’reone of them.”

Ryle (14-6-2 last year) wel-comes back seven starters, in-cluding all-state honorablemention sweeper Nathan Roeand scorer Suli Kayed. Seniormidfielder Zane Siemer andsenior midfielder Jack Hugen-berg are among other top lead-ers. The Raiders also returnseveral key bench players from

last year’s 33rd District cham-pions.

“Again, for Ryle defense iskey towinning,”Collinssaid. “Ifwe maintain our defensiveshape we can be extremelycompetitive in the region, espe-cially with the region beingwide open this season.

Haven Borkowski (14 goals)and Brett Mayberry (11) areback for Boone County, whowas16-7-1a year ago.Mayberryled the team with 16 assists lastyear.

Cooper has high hopes withsome of the top returning scor-ing talent in Northern Ken-tucky. The Jaguars were 8-13-1

forheadcoachDougFlesch, butwelcome back senior forwardsZane Ross and Chris O’Brien.Ross had 31goals and16 assists,andO’Brien posted17 goals and17 assists.

SophomoreAdamSnowpost-ed nine goals and nine assistsand made a mark with threegoals in15minutesduringapre-season scrimmage against Dix-ie Heights this summer. TannerWorkman scored twice againstGrantCountytoopentheseason(a 3-0 win).

Cooper also returns seniorLogan Williams, whom Fleschconsidersoneof the topkeepersin the region. Sophomore D.J.

Cooper is a strong defender onthe outside.

“Last year we started fourfreshmen and three sopho-mores,” Flesch said. “This yearI believe will surprise a lot ofpeople with the talent that wehave.”

Conner is young but gainingexperience for head coachKev-inCrone,whohasa62-52-15 rec-ord with the Cougars. Top play-ers begin with Charlie Wend,Logan Parson and Gavin Siek-man.Conner startedeight soph-omores starting last year andcould have 11 juniors startingthis season.

St. Henry is led by defender

Alex Green, plus several otherveterans, including LoganDehner, Adam Lannon, KarlanWesdorp, Austin Langen, Tan-ner Koking, Nathan Myers andDavid Stambaugh. The Crusad-ers have high hopes for the All“A” regional startingAug. 26 onits home field.

Leading the veterans arePeyton Black, Paige Mersmannand Skylar Lehmkuhl. Black isthe leading scorer, posting 29goals as a freshman a year ago.The Rebels have designs onknocking off defending statechamp Notre Dame.

“I’ve got three full-time re-turning starters, but they com-bined for 67 goals,” Hughessaid. “That and good defense iswhat you need to beat a teamlikeNotreDame.Nine timesoutof 10, Notre Dame beats you.But you only need to beat themonce in the postseason. If youhave big scorer, and Dixie wonwhen they addedLaurenNeme-roff (2011), anythingcanhappenin a close final.”

Honorable mention all-statestandout Lauren Duggins andversatile Hannah Poe lead sev-en returning starters at Ryle,whowas14-5-1 last year and lostto Highlands in overtime in theregional semifinals. Dugginshad eight goals and nine assiststo lead the Raiders a year ago.

Midfielder CatHarkins and forward MadisonBleska are other top veterans.“With a returning junior and animpressive freshman, our for-wards will be quick and be abletoputa lotofpressureonourop-posing team’s defense,” saidhead coachMelinda Cooper.

St. Henry has 11 seniors, in-cluding Kirsten Bartlett andHannah Bohmer. Bartlett ledthe team with seven goals lastyear, and Bohmer had five. TheCrusaders were 34th Districtchampions last season.

Walton-Verona hopes tobounce back from an injury-filled campaign in 2013 and thegraduation of its top player,Shelby Mullikin. Kristen Ger-rein and Erica Ryan take overthecoachingduties.Topplayersinclude center midfielder Tay-lorCox, centermidfielderKylieFlorence and outside midfield-er Sarah Johnston.

Cooper only neededtwo big drives and 174yards of total offense totake down district rivalRyle, 12-3, and win brag-ging rights in the city ofUnion Friday night atCooper High School aspart of the Skyline ChiliCrosstown Showdown.

The Jaguars openedthe game with an 11-play,46-yard drive on its firstpossession and struckagain on a seven-play, 48-yard drive in the middleof the fourth quarter fortheir only two offensivescores of the night. Therest of the game they con-trolled the clock and thefield position by winningthe battle at the line ofscrimmage on both sidesof the ball.

“We knew we were go-ing to have to win defen-sively, and we got in a de-fensive battle tonight,”CooperheadcoachRandyBorchers, whose defenseheldRyle to just122yardsof total offense, said.“The field conditionsweren’t great and we feltlike we could just play afield position game. Wedidn’twant to do anything

to lose the game. We justdecided to play the clockand let our defense winthe game for us, and theydid that.”

Cooper set the tone ofthe game on its first pos-session. After sophomoreDante Hendrix returnedthe opening kickoff 43yards to the Cooper 44,the Jaguars marched theball right down the fieldon 10 plays, with juniorrunning back Torrey Cor-dell-Armstrong rackingup 39 yards on seven car-ries. Sophomore kickerMitchell Hollifield naileda 25-yarder to give the

Jags the early 3-0 leadwith 7:24 to play.

Cordell-Armstrong,who had his 2013 seasoncut short due to a brokenleg, showed that he’s fullyhealthy after a hard sum-mer’s work of rehab. Hewas a workhorse for theJags on Friday night andlooked stronger and justas fast as he did beforethe injury, while rackingup106yardson29carries.

“That first drive wasreally big,” Cordell-Arm-strong said. “The wholesummer I was workingreally hard. It feels sogreat, because when I got

hurt I felt so powerless. Iwent from that to helpingmy team win tonight.”

He capped the Jags’long fourth quarter drivewith their only touch-down of the night – a 7-yard run over the rightside where he receivedplenty of help from thebig men in front of him.

“When I first got thepitch I wasn’t sure whereto go,” Cordell-Arm-strong said. “I trustedmylead blockers, cut it up,and scored.”

Much of the conversa-tion leading up to Fridaynight’s game focused on

the new high-octane of-fense of Ryle, but thegameendedupbeingade-fensive battle with veryfew offensive highlightson either side.

Sophomore AaronO’Hara got the start atquarterback for the Raid-ers after seniorRyanRyt-lewski was dinged up inlast week’s preseasonscrimmage, but theyquickly switched to sen-ior starter Ryan Rytlew-ski and stayed with himmostof thegame.Rytlew-ski finished 5 of 22 for 98yards with two intercep-tions.

“Aarongot thestartbe-cause he had practiced allweek and deserved it,”first-year Ryle headcoach Mike Engler said.“Hats off to CoachBorch-ers and his defensivescheme. They took it to usup front.”

Ryle seniorGrantArn-wine was the lone brightspot on the offensive sideof theball for theRaiders.Arnwine hauled in an im-pressive 31-yard passover themiddlewith a de-fender on him, and latercaught a 40-yard bomb ona triple-reverse flea-flicker to set up the Raid-ers’ only points of the

night – a 26-yard fieldgoal by senior Max Boul-den.

Cooper senior quarter-back Billy Prickett fin-ished the game 9-for-14with 68 yards in his varsi-ty debut.

JuniorMarcusWatson,a two-way starter on theoffensive and defensivelines for Cooper, tackedon the final two points ofthe night for the Jagswhen he sacked Rytlew-ski in the end zone on athird-and-10 play fromthe Ryle 5-yard line for asafety with under a min-ute to play.

“Wewere getting pres-sure all over their quar-terback,” Watson said.“We only had two startersback – me and ElliotSmith. Our secondary isbrand new to varsity, sostarting off that wellagainst our biggest ri-val… I’m extremelyproud of my team.”

With the loss, Ryle nowleads the series 5-2 all-time since the city rivalrystarted seven years agowhenCooperHigh Schoolopened. Cooper hostsNewCath next Friday at7:30, while Ryle will havetheir home openeragainst Scott County.m

A publication of

The current Ebola outbreakin Africa has rightfully re-ceived an abundance of mediacoverage due to the increasingnumber of cases and deaths.Events such as this catch thenation’s attention and can in-still fear in many, as peoplewonder if such an outbreakcould happen here.

People’s first instinct tendsto be to fear these emergingdiseases. While it is importantto have an appropriate level ofconcern, it is even more impor-tant to understand the factsabout such diseases. First andforemost: the actions needed tocontain Ebola and prevent itsspread are not new, but ratherare duties that those of us inpublic health carry out everyday.

Ebola poses no substantialrisk to the U.S. general pop-ulation. It is not highly trans-mittable – you must have di-

rect contactwith the bodyfluids of an illpatient fortransmissionto occur. How-ever, there isno approvedcure for Ebola.The only treat-ment is tohydrate thepatient andtreat any other

infections or other health is-sues that develop.

Ebola has spread in Africabecause of cultural practicesand because they lack well-developed systems for infec-tion control, isolation of illpatients and contact tracking.Those systems are robust inthe U.S., including here locallyin Northern Kentucky.

The U.S. public health sys-tem has seen and responded to

such diseases before. As Cen-ters for Disease Control andPrevention Director Dr. TomFrieden notes, in the past dec-ade, the United States has hadfive imported cases of hemor-rhagic fevers similar to Ebola.Each time, the American pub-lic health system identified thecases and through scrupulousinfection control proceduresprevented any one else frombecoming ill.

While the likelihood of anEbola outbreak in the U.S. isslim, we still may see a personwhose symptoms and travelhistory mean that he/she couldhave Ebola and will requiretesting to rule it out. Similarscenarios are playing outacross the country, includingone in Columbus, Ohio, in earlyAugust.

In these cases, trained pub-lic health staff and medicalproviders’ efforts to be pre-

pared for disease outbreakswill be put to use. First re-sponders, public health profes-sionals and hospital staff planand train for such situations.Hospitals have facilities andequipment for infection con-trol. Travelers can bescreened, and should someonebecome ill en route, proce-dures are in place for his/hersafe transport to the hospital.Public health staff are trainedto do investigations to preventthe spread of disease.

Patients and providers mustdo their part to help the healthcare system function at itshighest level, though. If youbecome ill and have traveled toanother country within amonth of the onset of symp-toms, tell your health careprovider – even if he/shedoesn’t ask. You may need toconsider how you seek care aswell. A phone call for screen-

ing could help prevent expo-sure of others in waiting roomsor emergency departments.Providers must be aware ofsymptoms, ask about travelhistory, and keep apprised ofthe situation – the health de-partment is helping to provideinformation to them.

Public health measures likeinfection control, isolation andcontact investigation can andwill stop disease outbreaks.Our region is fortunate to havea strong public health systemof first responders, providers,hospitals, and the health de-partment in place to containdiseases. While we do not an-ticipate putting it to the test inthe case of Ebola, let’s takecomfort in knowing that it’shere if needed.

Dr. LynneM. SaddlerCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Aug. 21 questionShould schools continue to

teach cursive writing? Why orwhy not?

“They should teach read-ing it, not necessarily writingit. Teaching typing is morepractical today.”

John Pile

“They should continue toteach it for the sole fact thatsomeone will have to inter-pret old documents in thefuture. You know, from likethe 1940s or something. LOL.Maybe not necessarily writ-ing it, but at least reading it.”

Jessica Searcy

“Personally, I think theyshould continue teaching andrequiring its use. The prac-tice of learning good pen-manship also improves finemotor skills. While it mayfeel antiquated, it does havevalue.”

Brenda Hanus

“Yes. I believe cursivewriting to still be useful intoday’s society. How else willthey learn to (properly) signtheir name? If you need toknow how to read it, you mayas well learn how to write it.Technology is great, but it isbound to fail one day and Ifor one am not going to allowit to take my household com-pletely over. Furthermore, Iam irked by the fact thatgood penmanship does notseem to be as important anymore, either. If my sons don’tlearn it in school, they will betaught it at home. Thankfully,my oldest is learning it atLongbranch Elementary.”

Beth Payton

“Cursive writing should betaught ... if anyone everwants to get into genealogyor research historic docu-ments, they would need toknow. But, if parents took 20minutes a night for a week ortwo, the kids could learn it athome ... it isn’t that hard toteach or learn!”

Roxie Held

“Yes, because cursivewriting is beneficial to learn-ing and integrating commu-nication between the twohemispheres of the brain.”

Carrie Cox

“Yes, for basic reasons –reading it (sometimes mykids cannot read what Iwrite) and for signing legaldocuments (checks, con-tracts, etc).”

Jolene Benedict

“Bare minimum, teachthem how to sign their name.My sixth-grader is cluelesson that.”

Alice Tranter Albrinck

“I think they should teachboth the reading and writingof it. I gave two high schoolgraduates money for gradua-tion and received thank younotes that looked like theywere written by a second-grader. I would have been soembarrassed for my child.It’s sad.”

Kim Struewing

“How will they be able toread historical documents,such as the Constitution? Ofcourse they should learn it! Apart of history requires it!”

Julee Ellison

“A personal finance classshould be mandatory for allhigh schoolers to graduate.”

Jessica Searcy

“Cursive reading and writ-ing should be at least offered.As others have said historicaldocuments, signatures andleast we forget that pricelesssignature baseball. With nocursive reading being taughthow would we know whosesignature it was? That partwas supposed to be funny butmaybe when you really thinkabout it, it’s not.”

Sheri Brown

“If the school systemwants to move away fromteaching children how tospell correctly because mostcomputer software has spell-check what is the point in

teaching cursive when thechildren will be doing mostof their work on a computer?Time spent that would havebeen spent teaching this skillcould be used to educatechildren in other matterssuch as grammar.”

Jen Christen

“Most computers alsohave a grammar check.Teaching them how to speakcorrectly and use wordsproperly is a different story.”

Roxie Held

“They will need to know itsomeday and they will besmarter for it.”

John Scales

“No, dumb them downsome more. That way we willhave total government andcorporate control.”

John Bernard

“No need to teach cursive.It is useless now days.”

James Bartley

“Yes, it’s more than learn-ing to write beautifully, it’sabout fine motor skills, con-centration, and ability toread decorative fonts.”

Lou Hozeska

“Yes! If the teachers arenot ‘particular’ about pen-manship as they were when Iwas taught then there is plen-ty of time to teach how toread, write and type it.”

Lindsey Martin

“Yes. We still need to readcursive and sign our namesand a signature is as uniqueas a personality.”

Terri Connor

“Cursive writing is not yetobsolete, so we should keepteaching it. Perhaps we couldeliminate Roman numeralsinstead.”

Mary Foster

“Yes, it’s taught in secondand third grade. By fourthgrade most students are al-ready experts at writing it.”

Brian Nagy

“But if we eliminate teach-ing Roman numerals, howwill we know which SuperBowl we’re watching?!? ;P”

FORT WRIGHT — Visitors toBattery Hooper Days at theJamesA.RamageCivilWarMu-seum got to experience aglimpse of daily life during the1860s.

Historical actors wore cloth-ing from the Civil War era; mil-itary men fired cannons andsurgeons treated grisly battlewounds in the encampment.

The re-creation wasn’t allgrim, as children interactedwith farmanimalsat thepettingzoo, and ladies practiced nee-dlework, spinning and sewing.

AUGUST 28, 2014 • BCR RECORDER • B3LIFE

We’re back to normal,whatever normal is, aftercoming home from vaca-tion.

What a special timewe had spending time inGlen Lake, Michigan,with two of our kids andgrandkids, then visitingour son, Joe, and his fam-ily in both Olympia,Washington, and Belle-vue, Nebraska. We did

lots ofsightsee-ing andgood eat-ing in be-tween, too.

Duringour visit toOlympia,Inge, Joe’swife, men-tioned thatwild black-

berries were ripe. Theword “wild” grabbed meright away. “The berriesare organic and huge,”Inge said. We headed outto her secret berry patchand I couldn’t believe myeyes, really. Bigger thanhuge, ripe, sweet black-berries everywhere!Check out the photo ofLittle Jaide, Inge andJoe’s granddaughter whohelped pick, and you’llsee what Inge meant.

We spent a fun daymaking the best black-berry jam ever andbrought jars of it togranddaughters Annaand Tulia in Nebraska,plus I tucked enough jarsin our trunk to share withCincinnati family andfriends.

Homemade‘summer in a jar’blackberry jam

When the winterwinds howl and you opena jar of this jam, thearoma and memories of asunny summer’s day willlinger.

Measure accurately.For blackberry peachjam, substitute finelychopped, peeled peachesfor some of the black-berries – 2 cups will do it.

5 cups crushed black-berries, mashed withpotato masher

4 tablespoons lemonjuice

1 box (1.75 oz.) drypectin

7 cups sugar9 jelly jars (8 ounces

size) with rings and lids,sterilized

I sterilize my jars byplacing in a pot of hotwater, then bringing thatto a boil and continue toboil 15 minutes. I thenturn the heat off butleave the jars in. For therings and seals, don’tboil, just keep in hotwater. Now some folkslike to put the jars, etc.through the dishwasherand keep them hot.

Place berries, lemonjuice and pectin in a verylarge pan over high heat,stirring constantly. Whenmixture comes to a fullboil, add sugar all atonce, stirring constantly.Bring back to full hardboil, one that cannot bestirred down, again stir-ring constantly. Thentime for 1minute.

Remove from heat andladle into clean, hot jars,leaving 1/4” headspace attop. Wipe rims withclean, wet cloth. Placeseal on top and securewith ring.

Turn upside down for

5 minutes to kill anybacteria that may lingeron lid and to form avacuum seal. Turnupright. You’ll hear little“pings” as the jars cool.Press your finger in thecenter of the seal. Youshould not be able topush the center up anddown if the seal is com-plete. If it’s not, just storethose in the fridge. Theothers can be stored inthe pantry for up to ayear.

Lemondaffodil delight

Retro recipes arereally enjoying a come-back. Here’s one that’sperfect for a Labor Daygathering. Substitute realwhipped cream for thewhipped topping if youlike. Ditto with the choiceof berries.

14 oz. can sweetenedcondensed milk

1 can, 8 ounce lemonyogurt

1/3 cup fresh lemonjuice

Zest of lemons used tomake juice (optional)

12 ounce or sowhipped topping, thawed

1 angel food cake, cutinto 1 inch cubes

1 generous cup slicedfresh strawberries

1 generous cup freshblueberries

1 generous cup freshraspberries

Handful sliced orslivered almonds, toasted

Whisk together milk,yogurt, lemon juice, andzest. Fold in 2 cups ofwhipped topping. In 3quart trifle bowl or deepsalad bowl, layer a thirdof cake, a third of lemonmixture and the straw-

berries. Repeat cake andlemonmixture layers.Top with blueberries.Repeat cake and lemonmixture. Top with rasp-berries. Spread remain-ing topping over, sprinklewith almonds. Cover andrefrigerate for at least 8hours.

Justice Michelle M.Keller, a member of theSupreme Court of Ken-tucky, recently spoke tothe Florence Rotary Club.

Her district, the SixthAppellate, includesBoone, Kenton, Campbelland 18 other counties.When Justice WilSchroder retired, JusticeKeller was appointed tofill his term. She previ-ously served on the Ken-tucky Court of Appeals,Sixth Appellate District,

from 2006 until her ap-pointment in 2013.

Keller is a graduate ofNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity and the Salmon P.Chase College of Law.

Describing her role,she said, “Every day, wefocus on doing our bestwork,becauseserving thepeople of Kentucky is aprivilege and I hope tokeep doing this for a longtime.” She described whyshe loves her job and whyit is so important to her.“There is an absence ofthe rule of law in manycountries. We must pro-

tect our freedom and oursociety.”

She encouraged every-one to visit the KentuckyCapitol building in Frank-fort, which is unique com-pared to most state of-fices since all threebranches of governmentare under one roof. “Ouroffices in Frankfort arehoused in the most hum-bling and awe-inspiringbuilding in the state,” shesaid.

Keller described thestructure of theKentuckycourt system. DistrictCourt handlesmostminor

cases including misde-meanors, probate ofwills,small claims and trafficoffenses. The CircuitCourt deals with more se-riousmatterssuchasfelo-nies and capital offenses,and includes FamilyCourt, which handles di-vorce, child custody,adoption and other familyconcerns. The Court ofAppeals hears cases inwhich those who are dis-satisfied with a lowercourt’s rulingmay ask fora review of the case.

Cases required to beheard by the Kentucky

Supreme Court are crimi-nal cases with sentencesof 20 years or greater,death penalty cases andworker’s compensationclaims.All othercasesareat the discretion of thecourt. The Kentucky Su-preme Court also pro-vides administrativeoverview of the wholeKentucky court systemand sets policies andrules.

Keller described herfirst year as the newjudge among seven jus-tices, explaining that shecast the deciding vote ineight 3-3 ties. “That was alot of pressure for thenewest justice,” she said.The court has an enor-mous caseload and mustreview numerous casefiles prior to any deci-sions. Justice Keller’sstaff includes one assis-tant and two law clerks.

One of her current pro-jects is helping lead the

conversion to an electron-ic based court manage-ment system. Due to theexpense involved, bondswere issued to help fi-nance a new CTS systemso attorneys can file elec-tronically, and documentsand cases can be followedonline.

During this electionyear, Justice Keller hasparticipated in manyevents around the state,including a recent milk-ing competition in HenryCounty. Although shedidn’t win, she enjoyedthe friendly competitionandmeeting people in herdistrict. Concluded Jus-tice Keller, “We take ourwork very seriously, butwe don’t take ourselvestoo seriously.”

DavidMann, vicemay-or of Cincinnati, returnedto his roots in NorthernKentucky to speak withthe Florence Rotary onJuly 28.

The ViceMayor toutedthe many connections ofNorthern Kentucky toCincinnati in that at leastthree mayors, includingMann, are originally fromKentucky. His father,Henry Mann, served asmayorofLakesideParkatthe same time Davidserved as mayor of Cin-

cinnati.His father instilled the

importance of regional-ism in him. The seniorMann served on the exec-utive committee for theOhio-Kentucky-Indiana(OKI)Regional Council ofGovernments for 25years. His father be-lieved, “The more wethought of ourselves asone area, the better.”

One of the regional is-suesViceMayorMannad-dressed is the BrentSpence Bridge. He saidCincinnati shares Ken-tucky’s frustration thatwhen it is our turn for fed-

eral money, we are told itis not available. The cityof Cincinnati will followKentucky’s lead once aconsensus is made re-garding the issue of tollsversus no tolls.

The most current andpressing regional issue isdiscussion about raisingthe sales tax rate for reno-vation of regional iconsMusicHall andUnionTer-minal. Music Hall is thecenter point of the rede-velopment in the nowthriving Over-the-Rhinearea.

A0.25percentsales taxincrease has been pro-posed and the city is hav-ing a hard time persuad-ing Hamilton County toraise the sales tax rate.Even after this increase,the Hamilton County taxratewill still bemuch low-er than most major citiesin Ohio. The taxwill allowresidents and non-resi-dents who visit theseicons to share in their sup-port. The Cincinnati Zooand many hospitals aresupported in a similarway. (Music Hall wasdropped from the salestax onAug. 7 byHamiltonCounty Commissioners.The decision to dumpMu-

sic Hall from the levymeans county residentswill vote in November onaquarter-centsales tax in-crease that would coverabout $170 million ofUnion Terminal’s $208million renovation.)

Mann also discussedbudgetary changes andchallenges in Cincinnaticity government. In 1992,the city had 8,400 employ-ees, down now to 5,600,which shows the city isrunning much leaner. Po-lice and firefighter de-partments are reducedfrom 1,300 to 950 employ-ees, while their portion ofthe budget has risen from39 to 61 percent. The Un-funded Pension Liabilityfor the city has risen from$9 million to a staggering$870 million.

Vice Mayor Mann sa-luted the service of TheRotaryClubandotherser-vice organizations. “Ser-vice organizations do somuch of what govern-ment can’t do, won’t do orshouldn’t do,” he conclud-ed.

Julia Pile is a Rotary member.The club meets at noon Mon-days at the Cincinnati AirportHilton in Florence.

The teenage years canbe rough on both teensand parents. Young peo-ple are striving for inde-pendence and parents arelearning how and when tolet go.

One of the most com-mon stresses put on teensis peer pressure. Whilethey want to be indepen-dent, they do seek accep-tance from their peers.

As children grow intoadolescence, theybegintodevote more time to theirfriends and peers thantheir family members.Having friends is good.Friendships help teensnavigate these years andcan teach them how toform strong, fruitful rela-tionships and ways towork with all kinds of dif-ferent people, which willbe helpful nomatter whatcareer they choose.

Encourageyour teen toform many friendshipswith a variety of individ-uals. Having friends inmany different groupscan help your child navi-gate peer pressure. Dif-ferent friends will pro-vide unique support.

As an adult, you canhelp your child success-fully navigate the teenyears and resist peerpressure. While you maynot think he listens to youany more, he does. Hereare some tips:

» Get to know your

teen’sfriends,theirdreams forthe future,their goalsand whatthey dowith theirspare time.

» Ac-quaintyourself

with their parents. Youwill feel more comfort-ablewhenyoucall themtoask if a party at theirhouse is going to have pa-rental supervision.

» Focus on safety.Make sure your child un-derstands you want himand his friends to alwaysengage in safe activitiesand to look out for eachother. Reinforce the ideathat expressing concernfor his friends’ safetydoesn’t make him a tattle-tale.

» Listen to your childwithout rushing to judg-ment or into a lecture. Ifyou quickly rush to judg-ment, your child maystart hiding parts of herlife from you.

Question: Is Ken-tucky Bluegrass the bestlawn grass for this area?Should I kill the weeds inmy lawn before seeding?Should I fertilize andapply lime at the time ofplanting?

Answer:Mid-Augustto late September is thevery best time of year tostart a new lawn or toover-seed existing lawnswhich have thinned outpatches or weedy areas.

If you are starting anew lawn, go with TallFescue. It has the follow-ing positive features. It isthe most widely adaptedturfgrass for use in Ken-tucky, performing well infull sun or mediumshade. It performs wellon heavy clay to sandysoils. It has good traffictolerance, no seriousinsect problems, is verycompetitive with weeds,has no thatch buildup,needs little if any irriga-tion except duringdrought, and is relativelyfast to establish, withgermination in seven to10 days.

New lawns should beseeded at a rate of six

pounds ofseed per1,000square feetof lawn.

It is agood ideato includea blend ofthree dif-ferentcultivarsor varie-

ties of tall fescue. Mod-ern fine-textured tallfescue varieties have abetter appearance, aredarker green, and moredensely growing thanKy-31 tall fescue. Ky-31is coarser in texture andis best for most generaland rough turf areas orpastures where no irriga-tion is possible.

For new lawns, mix-tures of tall fescue withother species of turf-grass such as Kentuckybluegrass are not recom-mended. However, whenover-seeding into thinareas of an existing blue-grass lawn, it may benecessary to over-seedwith tall fescue seedrather than bluegrass,simply because it germi-

nates so much morequickly than bluegrassseed.

Because of serioustexture and growth dif-ferences, tall fescueshould not be mixed withperennial ryegrass orfine fescue when estab-lishing a new lawn.

If your existing lawnis more than 50 percentweeds, you may want tokill the entire lawn withRoundup before reseed-ing. Or, if herbicidescontaining 2,4-D (foundin most weed killers) areused to selectively killthe broadleaf weeds inthe lawn, you may needto wait three or fourweeks before you cansafely sow the grass seed(see herbicide productlabel for specific waitingperiod requirement).

Or, if you do the seed-ing first and then youwant to spray to kill broa-dleaf weeds, you mayneed to wait until youhave mowed the newgrass three or four times

(see product label) be-fore the lawn grass isestablished enough towithstand the herbicidesprays without injury.

Fertilization will berequired within a fewweeks of seedling emer-gence to keep the grassfrom turning a pale yel-low-green color. Submit asoil sample now so youwill know what type offertilizer your lawnneeds and whether or notyou’ll need to add lime toraise soil pH.
