Boone County Schools arestruggling to get wireless ca-pabilities in all classroomsthroughout the district.

According to Karen Cheser,deputy superintendent andchief academic officer, the dis-trict is $600,000 behind in pro-viding what she said is “essen-tial to 21st century learning.”

Currently all the middleschools and eight elementaryschoolsarewithoutfullwirelesscapabilities. There is wirelessaccess in the buildings, just notin every classroom, said BooneSchools Director of TechnologyMaryAnnRankin.

All the high schools andsome elementary schools dohave full access.

“Many of these buildingsthatdon’t haveaccesspoints inthe classrooms were earlieradopters of wireless,” Rankinsaid. “At that time, hotspots

were the standard. Now thestandard is an access device inevery room.”

However, she pointed outthatsomeof thebuildingsneedanupgradeininfrastructuretosupport the needed hardwareto supply wireless access ineach classroom.

Still, that is the goal, Chesersaid.

“Wewant tomove to amoreblended learning where stu-dents can accessmore techno-logical resources,” she said.

District staff would like toreach a point where studentsbring their personal devices touse in class. For those whocan’t afford their own, the dis-trict is working on raisingfunds toprovide thosedevices.

Students can use their de-vices to access virtual classes,textbooks, and other online re-sources.

“Beforewecandoallofthis,we have to have full wirelesscapabilities,” Cheser said.

She said the district’s budgetcommittee is looking to makethe most of the financial re-sources available to providefunds for this project. TheBoone County Education Foun-dation is looking for donationsand raising funds to give com-plete wireless access to allschools.

The goal, Cheser said, is toget all the middle schools fullwireless access by next sum-mer and then concentrate onthe elementary schools.

“At the latest, three yearsfrom now all of our schools willbe ready,”Cheser said. “But thefunding picture is dire and weare low, low on funds.”

When and if this goal isreached in three years, shesaid there’s still the issue ofstudents not having wirelessaccess in their own home. Shesaid the district plans to workwith the Boone County Fiscal

BURLINGTON — Two resi-dents have askedBoone CountyFiscal Court to take some kindof action in the recent scrapmetal scandal.

Florence resident Bob Ciceroand Hebron resident Terry Do-noghue each read, and handedout, multi-page letters about thescandal at the court meetingSept. 17.

FormerpublicworksdirectorGreg Sketch was suspended inJuly.AsreportedintheKentuckyEnquirer, it was later discoveredhe kept a secret fund for fiveyears, established with revenuefrom the sale of scrapmetal.

Sketchretiredfromthepublicworksdepartmentprior to anad-ministrative hearing to addressthe allegations against him.

Subsequent articles in theKentucky Enquirer state that thetotal amount of scrap metal in-come was $32,820.66. Of thatamount, $8,669.50 was reportedtothecountyfinancedepartmentand $12,898.64 was spent on tur-keys for underprivileged fam-ilies in Boone County PublicSchools.

Two other public works em-ployees resigned in relation tothe case.

A Boone County grand jurydeclined earlier this month tovote an indictment againstSketch,whoalsowas the countyengineer, on a charge of abuseof public trust.

Donoghue told commission-ers he was expressing his per-sonal objection to actions allow-ing Sketch and others to “retireorresignfromcountyservice toavoid facing administrative orcriminal charges.”

He urged the fiscal court to“seek the guidance of the attor-ney general without delay.”

“Regardless of whether theattorney general determinesthere is insufficient evidence tosecure a felony conviction or thecounty attorney chooses not tosee misdemeanor charges, I re-spectfully request the BooneCounty Fiscal Court notify theKentucky Retirement Systemsof the circumstances surround-ingMr.Sketch’sdecision to leavepublic office and take a formalvote to terminate his employ-ment and that of others involved,with prejudice,” the letter reads.

“In this instance, it appearsthese individualswouldbeeligi-ble to recover what they havepaid into the pension systems,plus interest, but the citizens

Boone County Schools 2013-2014 fiscal year budget is “oneof the leanest in the state,” ac-cording toKathyReutmanBry-ant, executive director of stu-dent and community services.

Total revenues for this fiscalyear include $175,447,399 whichwill cover this year’s expendi-tures.

“Although the staffing levelsare shown to be lower than oth-er districts, the personnel costsare at 87 percent of the generaloperating fund. That doesn’tleavemuch for other necessaryexpenses,” she said.

This year, however, the dis-trict has budgeted for the re-

placement ofabout 20 of theoldest buses inthe fleet. Re-placement wasput on hold lastyear, due to theuncertainly ofthe budget. Cur-rently, the dis-

trict’s fleet has at least 35 busesthat are more than 15 years old.

As state and federal fundingcontinue to dwindle, Booneschools have turned to aproper-ty tax increase for assistance.

This year’s rate was set at62.2 cents per $100 for realproperty and personal proper-ty, a 4percent increaseover last

would not be responsiblefor covering the retire-ment benefits of an indi-vidualwho left public ser-vice only after havingbeen ‘caught with hishand in the cookie jar.’”

Judge-executive GaryMoore said there severalitems “that I know on the

surface I strongly dis-agree with,” but addedthat Donoghue also madesome “great points andwe’ll look into them.”

County attorney Rob-ert Neace said indicationsin the correspondencethat criminal action wasnot contemplated “wascompletely and totally in-accurate.”

“The grand jury didmeet. The grand jury didconsider all of these is-sues,” Neace said.“Whether you agree withit or not, the grand juryhas made their decision.”

Neace did say he was“glad” Donoghue agreedthe fundsshouldberecov-ered and said he will take“whatever action is ap-

propriate to collect onthose funds.”

Cicero told the court ofinstances in the past fewmonths in which North-ern Kentucky “has beenshockedwith thefinancialscandals involving publicofficials that have abusedthe trust of their constitu-ents.”

“In the Boone CountyPublicWorksDepartmentillegal slush fund casesanctioned by the countyengineer, there was no ar-rest, no conviction, no jailtime, not even an indict-ment,” he said.

Cicero said that someofthe funds were used “for acharitable cause, which inthis convoluted, politicallycorrect world would al-most guarantee absolu-tion.”

No matter the inten-tions, it’s still theft, hesaid.

“It doesn’t matter howhow good my intentionsmight be, we don’t live inSherwood Forest andnone of us can claim to beRobin Hood,” he said. “Inour society, it is still acrime to steal from one to

give to another, no matterhow destitute the recipi-entsmight be or howrigh-teous the cause.”

Herequested the fiscalcourt appoint an indepen-dent counsel to determinetheviabilityof filingaciv-il proceeding againstthose responsible for thetheft.

The grand jury decidednot to prosecute those in-volved and “there’s noth-ing the fiscal court can doabout (that), but obviouslyas officials of the BooneCounty Fiscal Court, youhave the responsibility tosafeguard the publicfunds,” Cicero said. “Atthis point, nothing wasdone through criminalprosecution, so I believethe fiscal court shouldpur-sue civil action againstthose individuals involvedand that wasmy point.”

Moore replied the coun-ty attorney already statedhe is “moving forwardwith pursuing restitution.”

year’s rate. The increaseequates to 7 cents a dayfor a taxpayer, Board ofEducation Chairman EdMassey said. This rate isexpected to raise morethan $2.6 million.

During the taxhearing,held in August, Masseysaidmore than 250 peopleshowed up to expresstheir support in favor ofthe increase.

“This was truly histor-ic,” said Massey, who’sserved on the school

board for 17 years. “In allofmyyears Ihavenotwit-nessed this type of sup-port in a community onbehalfof their localpublicschools. It is a testamentto thecommitment to edu-cation in our county.”

Massey said unfundedmandates of the federalgovernment and the statelegislaturehavelefteduca-tors in a “precarious posi-tion.”

“I think our budget isas tight and lean as it pos-sibly can be,” Masseysaid. “There isn’t anyfluffinourbudget, there’sverylittle wiggle room. We’vemoved things around to

accommodate our teach-ers and our programs.

“We work closely withtheEducationAssociationand have utilized everydollar we can to providethe samequality of educa-tion for our students.”

According to Massey,Boone schools are at thebottom10 percent when itcomes to funding per pu-pil, however in the top 10percent when it comes toacademic performance.

Bryant said the schooldistrict’s foremost chal-lenge isbudgeting for sala-ries and wages in order to“maintain the workforcenecessary to continue pro-

viding exceptional serviceto our students.”

“Another significantchallenge is finding re-sources to fund initiativesthat advance or improvethe learning environmentsuchasthemostappropri-ate technology, profes-sional development, andinstructional resourcesincluding textbooks.”

Beyond maximizingthe level of funding fromlocal sources such as taxrevenues, shesaid there isan effortmade to uncoveropportunities for grantfundingthat iscompatiblewith the district’s initia-tives

The idea for the Au-tumn Affair came fromdiscussions about doingan event with the BooneCounty Visual Arts Asso-ciation. This year, severalmembersof thegroupwillprovide art for the auc-tion, he said.

Florence artist RutheWyman is one. This is thethird year she’ll be partic-ipating in the event.

“I think it’s good to par-ticipate in your communi-ty, tobeinvolved,”shesaid.“The arboretum is justbeautiful and I’ve enjoyedworking with the Friends

of the Arboretum.”Proceeds from the af-

fair go toward a fund forthe creation of an educa-tion and visitors centerfor the arboretum, Stonesaid. That project is “get-ting closer and closer.”

The idea of such a cen-teris importanttothearbo-retum, he said. It createsan “identifiable location, ahome if you will” and willprovide aplace tohost pro-grams and events.

Joan Klahr of Florencehas been a member of theFriends group since 2002.

When people firstcometo thearboretum, lo-cated at Central Park, shesaid they ask where it is.

The building, she said,will provide a place to

have small classes and in-formation on display.

“The arboretum wasdedicated back in 1999,”she said. “This is 2013. So

it’s time to have a buildingout there, even if it’ssmall.”

Stone said the AutumnAffair is a fun event.

That’s a sentiment echoedby Klahr.

“It’s a good time,” shesaid. “It’s a fun event thisyear.”

The park, said Bell-horn, is “basically a gemin the rougha lot ofpeopledon’t know about.”

It’s a local park, easilyaccessible with “a lot ofhistory,” she said.

According to the “En-cyclopedia of NorthernKentucky,” “a great icesheet stretched fromnorthern Canada to theOhio River” 15,000-20,000years ago.

South of that, the bookreads, woolly mammoths,mastodons, giant groundsloths, giant bison andother animals came to asalt lick.

“Manywere trapped inthe surrounding bogs anddied, their bones buriedand preserved around thesalt like that came to benamed Big Bone Lick.”

The encyclopedia saysby the mid-19th century,Big Bone was “interna-tionally renowned as oneof the most important re-positories of prehistoricanimalbonesonearth,butslowly the site was beinglooted and its contentscarried to other loca-tions.”

Even today, fossilsfrom Big Bone are on dis-play at Thomas Jeffer-son’s Charlottesville, Va.,

FLORENCE — Nestledinaquiteareaof thecom-munity, the buildinggracing the name A.M.Yealey Elementarystands sturdy and proud.Inside, as it has been forthe last 50 years, admin-istrators, teachers andstaff work to fill theminds of students withknowledge.

“All the schools focuson college and careerreadiness,” Yealey Prin-cipal Linda Black said.“We’ve always valuedthat. What we’re doingtoday is going to impactthecommunity, the state,the country, even theworld in the future.We’re building a legacy.”

It’s a legacy that be-gan Sept. 5, 1963, whenthe doors to Yealey firstopened.

A 50th anniversaryopen house will be 2-5p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, atthe school, 10 YealeyDrive, Florence. Guestsof honor will includealumni, former adminis-trators, teachers, staff,Rep. AddiaWuchner andMayor Diane Whalen.

The eventwill includeself-guided or student-lead tours, Black said.Time capsule items con-tributed by current stu-dents, to represent thetimes, will be on display.The time capsule, to beburied on the propertywill also include a cur-rent list of students andstaff and a copy of thecelebration guest book.

Throughout the weekYealey students will cel-ebrate with mini eventsincluding a gathering fora special commemora-tive photo and a 1960s-themed dance.

Arlene Tackett, a re-tired teacher from Yea-ley who now subs for theschool, said this is an im-portant celebration

“Fifty years is a mile-stone,” she said. “Theschool is still in goodstanding, looking good

and doing great thingsfor the kids. That’s im-portant to celebrate.”

Yealey, she said, bearsthe name of a popularFlorence and BooneCounty educator AlmerMichael Yealey, betterknown as Professor Yea-ley. He was a publicschool principal and lo-cal historian and evenwrote stories for theBoone County Recorder.

Yealey first moved toBoone County in 1898where he was a farmerand taguht school for 41years. He taught in fourrural Boone CountySchoolsbeforebecomingthe principal at FlorencePublic School from 1900to 1931. He establishedFlorence High School in1911. He taught again inFlorence from 1943 to1945, and for four yearsat New Haven Elemen-tary. He was a member,vice president and histo-rian of the Boone CountyHistorical Society,whichwas organized in March1950.

In 1959, when he was86, he was described as“a very spry man,” ac-cording an article pub-lished in the archives onthe Boone County PublicLibrary web site,bcpl.org.

Yealeydied inNovem-ber 1962 at age 89. Lessthan a year later, con-struction of Yealey Ele-mentary was completeand the school named inhis honor.

Yealey educators andstaff, according toBlack,have since lived up to theimage built by “Profes-sor Yealey.”

The teachers “alwaysthink of the kids first,”she said. “The school hasnever lost sight of doingwhat’s best for the kids.”

At Yealey, she said,lives are changed everyday because everyonewho walks through thehalls of the one-floorbuilding are cared about.

WALTON — Looking at therecordandstatisticsof theWal-ton-Verona High School foot-ball team at the halfway pointof the season, it would appearthe Bearcats are in top formwith a 4-1 record as they pre-pare to defend their title inClass 2A, District 5.

One number that does needimprovement is the amount ofinjuries the Bearcats have suf-fered this season, as the teamhas not been able to employseveral key starters in the firsthalf of the year.

“Staying healthy is our bigthing,” said Bearcats headcoach Jeff Barth. “This hasbeen the most difficult yearwe’ve had with injuries. We’vehad several guys out and wehope to get some of them back.We had over 50 guys in campand at practice the other day,we had 32 with equipment.”

Walton takes on CarrollCounty (2-3) in the first districtgame. The Bearcats last yearbeat Carroll 27-7 and the Pan-thers last week fell 48-6 toBellevue last week amidst adriving rainstorm that peltedall of Northern Kentucky.

“It’s going to be a very diffi-cult district run,” Barth said.“It’s tough to get a gauge onCarroll County in a mudbathgame. Bellevue is throwing

about 80 percent of the timeand we run about 80 percent ofthe time.Carrollhasa lotofsizeand depth. Owen has struggleda little bit but theywill definite-ly be a tough customer. We’renot sneaking up on anybodyanymore.We’re going from thehunter to the hunted. We havetoplaywell towin.We’renotgo-ing to out-athlete anybody.”

The list ofkey injuriesstartswith senior defensive backJake Higgins, who dislocatedhis elbow in what Barthdeemed a “gross” injury. Start-ing nose tackle Daniel Tilleyhas been out with a concussion.Lineman Brandon Wilson, whomade the game-saving tackleona two-point tryagainstBelle-

The Crusaders are riding arecord of 18-4 heading into ashowdown with Ninth Regionrival Ryle Sept. 24. St. Henrythen plays Newport at homeThursday, Sept. 26, in aconfer-encematch.

St. Henry is coming off itssecond state title in theAll “A”Classic, which prompted anawardsceremonyinschool themorning of Sept. 23.

“It was a great feeling towin and it did a lot for our con-fidence,” said sophomoremid-dle hitter Janelle Tobler, whowas the tournament’s MostValuable Player.

St. Henry defeated AllenCentral 25-11, 25-8 in the final,capping a six-match rompthrough the field Sept. 14 inJeffersontown.TheCrusaderswon two sets from Presenta-tion by a combined five pointsbut gave up no more than 15points in any other set.

The Crusaders received anMVP performance from To-bler, who led the Crusaderswith 36 kills.

“She’s abig leaper and she’sa big part of our offense,” saidSt.HenryheadcoachMaureenKaiser.

Corie Flood recorded 68 digs,andmiddle hitterKarlyLehm-kuhl had eight blocks.

Winning six matches in ashort period of time tested theteam’sdepth,whichwasoneofthegoalsofparticipatinginthetourney. St. Henry has onlyplayed in the tournament thepast two seasons.

“We have a whole new ros-ter, but it was a goal to win theregion, and it was a goal towinstate once we got there,” Kai-ser said. “We have a reallyyoung team, andwe had to useeverybody to win.”

“We’re smaller this year,”Kaiser said. “We don’t have 6-footgirls toset theballupfor,sowe had to change our offense.Wehavetobequickerandfocusmore on placement.”

St. Henry followed up its All“A” title with key conferencewins over Brossart and New-port Central Catholic. Amongkey matches coming up, St.Henry plays Notre Dame Oct.10 at ThomasMoreCollege.

Take responsibility fortrash

We are Cooper FFA, andwetook part in the Trash for CashProgram with Boone CountySolid Waste Management. Wecleaned up fivemiles betweenCamp Ernst and Longbranchroads near Randall K. CooperHigh School on the afternoonof Sept. 9.

This was one of our kickoffevents for our chapter havingmembers help out the commu-nity. Before we went out, wehad a group talkwith our advi-sor, Mr. White, making surethat we kept our eyes out foranything harmful. We madesure we looked out for eachother on the roadways.

I have never quite under-stood how litter ever gets tothe ground, or why it’s so hardto throw away your own trash.It upsetsme thatpeoplecanbelazy about even the simplethings in life like cleaning upafter yourselves. It’s not ourjob or another person’s job topick up another’s trash. Welive in a very nice town, butwho wants to come here andsee nasty trash all over thesides of the road? Not me. Iwant to live somewhere thatwe don’t have trash or danger-ous items littering our road-ways.

Even though we made aclean change around ourschool and community, it willonly last for a short time untilmore trash is thrown out thewindow of passing cars. It’sreally hard to try when othersdon’t care.

If people just recycle moreor even keep a trash bag intheir car then our litter prob-lem would be over. Let’s jointogether and keep our roadsbeautiful and clean.

Boone Co. team helpsclean roads

Dressed in an orange vest,brown work gloves and workboots, the Boone County HighSchool boys cross countryteam and adult volunteerspicked up trash to perform acommunity serviceand topar-ticipate in Boone County’sTrash for Cash program, Sept.

14.“It is good to have the expe-

rience,” said senior LukasMy-ers.

The teens began their workSaturday morning on TedBushelman Blvd. and AeroParkway in Florence. Thecrew encountered a wide va-riety of highway trash, fromcardboard and plastic foam todiapers and snakes.

“The work is moderatelyeasy,” said 16-year-old crewmember Brandon Beneker.“Someone has to do it.”

The team members en-joyed their time working to-gether on the project and de-veloped an appreciation forkeeping public spaces clean.

“The cleanup program wasbeneficial for our team in afew ways” said coach TerryWyatt. “The team earnedmuch-needed funds for crosscountry meet entry fees thisseason and the students havelearned to think twice beforethrowing trash out on theirpublic roads.”

We had 17 partici-pants this year and everyonehad a positive attitude aboutthe adventure. The funds thatwe raise are used for childrenwho are placed in our foster-care program. This gives usmotivation to do the job well.

We split up into four teamswith four to five people oneach team. We were able toclean about four miles in twohours. The mass amount ofcigarette butts made it take alittle longer. I betwepickedupmore than500of them.Wealsofound bottles, fast-food bagsand even a couple of needles-EEK.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A stentorian blast of thecoach’s horn in the distancearoused any dozing hostlerand hotelier alike to the arriv-al of the coach while yet somedistance away.

Unlike the studied indiffer-ence to the arrival or depar-

ture of a pub-lic conveyancetoday, all with-in hearinggathered forthe event. Thiswas their onlyconnectionwith the out-side world,bringing news,passengersand, perhaps,a little freight

and mail. A newspaper was areal treat.

As it came into view, thecoach rumbled forth with adriver on the box, reins in onehand and loudly cracking hiswhip with the other. And, yes,this was a scene repeated inBurlington, Florence, Coving-ton and roadhouses in betweenand beyond.

Until shortly after 1800, alltravel was by boat, foot orhorseback ... there being nowheeled vehicles in Kentuckyat all until 1787. “Waggons”were introduced to conveyfreight and passengers overthe crude roads. These gradu-ally phased-out the packhorsemen and later gave way toclosed coaches. The Covingtonand Lexington Road (U.S. 25and I-75 today) touched BooneCounty’s eastern edge andintersected the road to Louis-ville (U.S. 42).

At an early date there was aline from Burlington to Co-vington (Route 18, linking with25 and 42). Toll houses wereerected to pay for the upkeepof the roads. One stretch ofroad had a toll house aboutevery five miles. A typicalcoach employed six horses.Horses were flesh and blood:they required food, water andperiodic rest. The hostler met

the coach with six fresh hors-es and led the jaded ones towater and rest. Travelersfound rest and overnight ac-commodations within.

The number of roadhousesneeded to service man andbeast depended upon thesteepness of the grade. Stopswould be made and a flurry ofactivity ensued as a hostlerhitched the fresh horses, pas-sengers stretched their legsand sought quick refreshment.Pit stops at auto races todayare but a present-day manifes-tation of the scene. Driverswere often arrogant, impatientand tough. At least one froze

to death on his box while un-der way ... the horses keepingthe road and stopping in theroadhouse yard. Service waslimited to where and whenpopular subscription was as-sured and often ran rain orshine. Fare was expensive forthe six to eight passengers.Accommodations were prim-itive and baggage limited toten pounds or you’d pay extra.

The Gaines Tavern in Wal-ton is a surviving example ofone of Boone County’s earlyroadhouses. Railroads andautos gradually replacedthem. For a fascinating tale ofthe social and economic as-pects, find J. Winston ColemanJr.’s “Stage-Coach Days in theBluegrass” in local historydepartment of the Main Li-brary in Burlington.

We took the plunge intotackle football with our 10-year-old son this year. And foranyone who’s traveled downthis path (or any other com-petitive sport) you know thecommitment is serious. Prac-tice three times a week andtwo games on the weekend.Not to mention all the timeinvested in fundraising.

Needless to say, if I wasn’tfamiliar with football before,I am now. Terminology, plays,equipment – I’ve learned it allin just eight short weeks.

I now watch college andprofessional football gameswith a whole new apprecia-tion. I understand the calls –well, most of them. I see thefouls – well, some of them.Yet, I cheer and boo with anew perception that makesthe game so much more en-joyable. And thank goodness,because I live with two maleswho can find a game to watchalmost every night of the

week.This new

knowledgehas causedme to wonderthough: whatwould lifelook like if Iinvested asmuch time inmy relation-ship withChrist as I

have football recently?How would my life change

if I “practiced” my walk threenights a week, reading the“plays” (promises) found inthe bible and put them intoaction on the “field” of life?

What would my comingweek look like if on Sundays Iput all that I’ve learnedthroughout the week intoaction and spent the day“playing” (in fellowship) withGod and those I love?

Well, if the answer is any-thing like football, it would

mean that I would have awhole new appreciation forGod and his plans for my life.It would mean that I would“tackle” my problems with anew “play” (approach). Itwould mean that I would havea whole new outlook on life.

To understand God’s ways,promises and plans for mylife I must invest in him. Somany times we excuse our-selves from investing in ourrelationship with Christ be-cause we are too busy. We aretoo busy with work and theextracurricular activities inlife. Yet we long to under-stand God’s plan for us.

Knowing the dangers offootball, I would never sendmy son onto the field withoutthe proper equipment, knowl-edge and coaching. Knowingthe dangers in life, we shouldnot place ourselves (or ourchildren) on the battlefield oflife without the proper equip-ment knowledge, and coach-

ing either. Your equipment isfound in the word of God:“Put on the whole armor ofGod, that you may be able towithstand the wiles of thedevil.” (Ephesians 6:11)

Your knowledge is found inGod: “For the Lord is the Godof knowledge.” (1 Samuel 2:3)

Your coaching is found inChrist: “Blessed is the manwhom you instruct, O Lord,and teach out of your law, thatyou may give him rest fromthe days of adversity.”(Psalms 94: 12-13)

I pray you find time to“practice” your walk withChrist this week and beblessed with a big win.

Most knights are of shining-armorvariety. The knights of the Knights ofColumbus Bishop Ackerman Council5453, however, are golden.

The group – which includes mem-bers from three Boone County par-ishes Immaculate Heart of Mary inBurlington, All Saints in Walton andSt. Paul in Florence – recently cele-brated its 50th anniversary.

Founded in August 1963, the coun-cil also included members from St.Timothy in Union andMary, Queen ofHeaven, in Erlanger until severalyears ago.

To commemorate the occasion, a50-foot cake was displayed, thenserved, at the Boone County PublicLibrary in August.

Celebrations continue Saturday,Sept. 28, with a 3 p.m. prayer serviceat Immaculate Heart of Mary, 5876Veterans Way, Burlington, followedby the council’s annual picnic formembers and their families.

According to current GrandKnight Eric Ritchie of Burlington, theKnights of Columbus was founded inNewHaven, Conn., in 1882.

“It was originally formed back inthe 1800s to help widows and orphansin the community if the father passedaway,” he explained.

The organization of Catholic menhas evolved over the years becausethere are “different social safety netsnow,” but the principles of charity,unity, fraternity and patriotism re-main.

This council donates money eachyear to St. Vincent de Paul, offersscholarships and even hosts youthcontests throughout the year, Ritchie

said.Recently, they purchased a $40,000

ultrasound machine for CareNet ofNorthern Kentucky “through theeffort of our local council,” he said.

Council 5453, however, is perhapsmost recognized in the community forthe piping hot doughnuts doled out,through the group’s Holy Donut trail-er, at area events like the Boone Coun-ty Fair.

According to Ritchie, betweenlocal fairs, parish festivals and otherevents, the Knights sell between100,000 and 120,000 doughnuts a year.

The proceeds from stints at theBoone and Grant county fairs fundthe group’s charitable work for the

year.When they sell doughnuts at events

the remainder of the year, those pro-ceeds can then go to the church ororganization.

While the group does have socialactivities, Ritchie said the “primarypurpose of our order is charity.”

“It’s a way for Catholic men to giveback to the community (and) sharetheir faith with others,” he said.“There are many avenues to do that.This is just one ... It’s good to be ableto work with the members of yourown parish and parishes in the com-munity and do good.”

Jim Alcorn of Florence has been amember of the Knights council since

1973 and served as grand knight in1975. He was looking to do charitywork but didn’t know with whom hewanted to volunteer.

“The Knights of Columbus soundedlike a good way to go and it sure hasbeen,” he said.

Alcorn said he hoped the councilwould be remembered “for what wedo and the volunteerism of the peoplein the group.

People in the group “are just sogiving,” he said, but not just withinthe organization.

They’re “very active in theirchurches (and) in the community,”Alcorn continued. “I think that wouldbe the legacy.”

I’ve told you beforehow this column “con-nects” all of us. There’snot a week that goes bythat I don’t hear fromsomeone telling meabout a new recipethey’ve tried, or a trea-sured one they want to

share. It’sall aboutfood, fam-ily andfriends.

LaurieBreden-foerder’sstoryabout herhomemadelasagna isone of

those priceless gems.After she read my reci-pe for easy lasagnausing no-cook lasagnanoodles, she told me it’snot so bad to use theno-cook noodles, but“They may be hard tofind or more costly thanthe mundane ones. If so,I can do much better.”

Laurie sent me herrecipe for her family’sfavorite, which she hasbeen making for 25-plusyears using any kind oflasagna noodle right outof the box. She’s neverhad a problem withusing them and herlasagna turns out per-fect, every time.

“Great for a largegathering and this maywell be the perfect lasa-gna recipe. It’s a legendin our family”, she said.Unfortunately, the reci-pe is too long to sharehere so I’ll put it on myblog. But don’t let thathold you back. I can’twait to try Laurie’s reci-pe and I want you to tryit, too.

TAKE A STANDDon’t Provide Alcohol to Youth.

A company I report-ed on earlier this yearhas been sued by thestate of Ohio for, amongother things, takingadvantage of elderlyand low-income people.

Queen City ScriptCare, of Blue Ash, wasto provide discountedprescription medicationto those in need, but isbeing accused of mak-ing unauthorized with-drawals from consum-er’s bank accounts andfailing to provide re-funds.

Back in February, Ireported on the com-plaints I received frommany of the company’scustomers. People likeKrystal Beckelhimer, ofGeorgetown, who said,“The company workedgood for about twomonths. I got my medi-cine, paid $30, and thenall of a sudden I wasn’tgetting any medicineand he basically said,“’Well, it’s on the way.’”

Beckelhimer hadcomplained to companyowner Tom Fenske, butsays she was stillcharged $30 monthlyeven though she wasn’tgetting her medicine.Then, she says, QueenCity Script Care tookmultiple charges out ofher bank account in thesame month.

Ruth Hill of Ver-sailles also had multiplepayments taken fromher bank account.

“The problem startedwhen there were four

withdraw-als inMay,” shesays. Herhusband,Clarence,was pay-ing thecompany$40 amonth andalso had

multiple withdrawalsfrom his account in onemonth.

Missing medicineand multiple withdraw-als were also big prob-lems for Betty Good-man of Georgetown,who complained toFenske.

“One month he tookout $30 from my check-ing account six times. Iwent to the bank threetimes to stop the pay-ments,” she said. Good-man is also upset be-cause they kept takingmoney for medicine forher husband Larry –months after he died.

“I kept calling theoffice and saying, ‘Whyare you taking moneyfor Larry? He’s dead,he’s not getting no medi-cine.’”

Many consumerssaid they only way theystopped those paymentswas to close their bankaccount. Queen CityScript Care PresidentTom Fenske wouldn’t doan interview with me,but told me all moneywithdrawn by mistakewas being refunded.However, the Ohio At-

BRIEFLY

Who knew there wereso many exciting signs ofprogress everywhere inthe city of Cincinnati.

The Florence RotaryClub hosted Jason Bar-ron, director of public af-fairs for the city and Of-fice of the Mayor. Barronupdated the group on pastprojectsaswell asupcom-ing development activ-ities. There has been aconcerted effort by May-or Mark Mallory to en-hance thecity’s imageasadestination and economichub. Over the course ofthe last eight years manyhigh profile projects havebeen undertaken as partof the efforts to reinvigo-rate the city’s downtown.

One of the initial ef-forts to re-image and reenergize the downtownwas the renovation ofFountain Square. Thesquare has gone from adrabconcrete jungle to anopen and inviting publicspace hosting numerousevents. A key factor in re-juvenating it has beenprogramming events todraw people into thedowntown area. FountainSquare has a website de-voted to promoting theprogramming there,which offers somethingfor everyone year round.

The goal is to continuethe momentum in creat-ing space that will attractnew residents, jobs andinvestment in the city.Projects recently an-

nounced span six Cincin-nati neighborhoods andinclude the second phaseof the Banks, the newheadquarters for thesmall business incubatorCintrifuse, and 575 newapartments in several dif-ferent projects.

Phase one of the $675million Banks project iscomplete. The secondphase will include 305apartments and 21,000square feet of retailspace, which may includea grocery store. A newapartment tower, with 111apartments, will be builtat Seventh Street andBroadway. The seven sto-ries of apartments are be-ing constructed on top ofthe city owned parkinggarage that was built in2003.

Future projects in-cludeanewmixed-usede-velopment in Northsideby Hamilton and BlueRock LLC.

Question: What is thebest lawn fertilizer, andwhen and how oftenshould it be applied?

Answer: Too muchnitrogen, phosphorus,potassium or lime can beharmful to your lawnand landscape plants.Soil testing is a freeservice provided toNorthern Kentucky resi-dents by their local coun-ty extension office. Asoil test often revealsthat the soil only needsnitrogen, in which caseyou can purchase acheaper, “farm-type”

fertilizer,such asurea (46-0-0). Or,you mayfind thatyour soil ishigh inphospho-rus (themiddlenumber onthe fertil-

izer bag), but it needsnitrogen and potassium(the first and third num-bers on the fertilizerbag), so a 10-0-10 fertiliz-er would be ideal.

The only way to knowwhat numbers to look for

as you are buying fertil-izer is to look at the re-sults of your soil test. Ifyour ground tests low inphosphorus, you’ll wantto select a fertilizer witha high middle number,such as 10-20-10. If youcatch and remove thegrass clippings from theyard when you mow, youmay need to apply morephosphorus and potassi-um to the soil, since theclippings contain nutri-ents.

To maintain a qualitylawn, you should applyfertilizer every year.Fertilization helps main-tain turf uniformity, agood green color, andreduces weed problems.These positive effectscan be lost, however, iffertilizer is applied im-properly or at the wrongtime. Too much or toolittle fertilizer can resultin more lawn diseaseproblems and brownpatches. Low and medi-um maintenance levels

are best for generallawns that get little or nosummer irrigation. Highand very high mainte-nance levels can producea lush, green lawn, butusually require irriga-tion, frequent mowing,and often more pestcontrol.

Low-maintenance,cool-season lawns (fes-cues, bluegrass and pe-rennial ryegrass) only

get fertilized once ayear, in October or No-vember. Medium mainte-nance involves two fer-tilizations per year, withone in September orOctober, and a follow-uptreatment six weekslater in November orDecember. Don’t applyfertilizer during hotweather to dry lawns.Fertilize after a rain orirrigation has soaked the

ground, and after theleaf blades have driedfrom rain or dew. Highmaintenance lawns needtreated once in Septem-ber/October, again inOctober/November, anda third time in Novem-ber or December, alwayskeeping 4-6 weeks be-tween treatments. A“very high” maintenancelevel would be the resultof also applying an addi-tional (fourth) fertilizertreatment in the spring.If this is done, only halfthe normal (fall) rateshould be applied in lateMay to help “green up”the grass, if desired.

Don’t miss the fallwindow of opportunityfor fertilizing your lawn.Waiting until spring tofertilize will mean moreweeds, diseases andpests next year.
