Ever wonder about The Look-out House, the advent of the firedepartment or why there’s a LorupAvenue in the city of Fort Wright?

Find your answers about the“City of Cities” (dubbed that afterthe incorporation of the cities ofSouth Hills, Lookout Heights andLakeview into Fort Wright) in thenewest installment of the Imagesof America series by Arcadia Pub-lishing.

Lifelong resident Julia Hurstwrote the book, which becameavailable for sale at Walgreens,Barnes & Noble and Amazon.comSept. 7.

Hurst is the granddaughter ofPete Nienaber, the city’s longest-serving fire chief.

“I believe every person whoreads the book will see at least onepicture they’ve never seen beforeor learn some bit of history theydidn’t know,” said Hurst, who isthe executive director of theNational Lieutenant GovernorsAssociation.

More than 40 residents allowedHurst to use their personal collec-tion of photos, Hurst said, andresidents’ excitement about thebook has been “wonderful,” shesaid.

For that reason, Hurst madesure one of her three book sign-ings in the area would take place

in Fort Wright. The first signingwill be Sept. 19 at the Walgreensin the city.

“We had so many people whowere enthusiastic about the book.I hope the local population comesout, shares stories, swaps ideasand lets me know what theythink,” Hurst said.

Hurst said the city has a “sto-

ried and fascinating” history rang-ing from the defense of NorthernKentucky at Battery Hooper to anovernight visit from PresidentRichard Nixon.

Hurst said she also uncoveredinformation about Fort Wright’sconnection to a small town in Ger-many called Lorup.

In 1930, George Kreutzjans Sr.

left Lorup and settled in FortWright. Called the “father of FortWright,” Kreutzjans built morethan 200 homes in early FortWright and served more than 20years on city council.

People who knew Kreutzjans inthe old country followed him andsettled there as well, including theparents of Bernie Wessels, who isalso a lifelong resident and one ofthe owners of Wessels Construc-tion.

Wessels’ parents immigratedfrom Lorup, but didn’t meet untilthey had both settled in FortWright.

“I feel like I have some awfullybig shoes to fill as far as service tothe city and the community,” saidWessels, whose family contributedmany of the photos used inHurst’s book.

“There’s a lot of good peoplewho did a lot of good things forthis city and you just didn’t realizeit until Julia put it all together.”

Book delves into FortWright photo history

PROVIDED

This photo of a gas station taken in 1925 in Fort Wright is just one of the many photographs of thecity’s bygone days in the Fort Wright edition of the Images of America Series by Arcadia Publishing.The book, written by lifelong resident Julia Hurst, was released Sept. 7. Hurst will sign copies ofher book at Sept. 19 at the Fort Wright Walgreens, Sept. 26 at the Florence Barnes & Noble andOct. 3 at the Newport Barnes & Noble.

Kenton County SuperintendentTim Hanner said the district iscontinuing to exercise cautionwith regards to the H1N1 flu virusafter several alleged cases havebeen reported around the North-ern Kentucky area in recentweeks.

The H1N1 flu virus, which wasoriginally called the swine flu, hashad 17 cases confirmed by theNorthern Kentucky Health Depart-ment since April.

However, that number mightnot be an accurate representation,as individuals who test positivefor the flu are presumed to haveswine flu and not a seasonalstrain. Only in certain cases areindividuals being tested specifical-ly for the swine flu, such as a per-son sick enough to be hospitalizedor a pregnant woman.

Hanner said the district hashad no such reported cases, eitherwith students or staff, and is stilltaking precautions to ensure itremains that way.

“This is something we’re tak-ing very seriously, but it’s also acase where we’re not looking tocause a panic,” he said. “It’s a sit-uation we’re monitoring veryclosely, and we’ll continue to dojust that.”

Hanner said the district hasformed a task force that meetsweekly to discuss new informa-tion about the H1N1 strain, extraprecautions the schools could betaking, and any other news thatcould be relevant.

“This is something we’reevolving with, and it’s going tochange as we learn more,” hesaid. “We’re just working to stayahead of it and making sure we’redoing all we can.”

Among precautions Hannersaid the district is taking includeplacement bottles of hand sanitiz-er all over the school to guardagainst the spread of germs. Thedistrict is also notifying parents

about symptoms of the flu, andencouraging them to keep theirchildren at home if symptomsstart to appear.

Children are also being encour-aged to do all they can to avoidspreading germs, such as notsharing drinking containers in thelunchroom, washing their handsduring the day, covering theirmouths when coughing, andusing tissues whenever possible.

“There’s always a fine linebetween being concerned and cre-ating paranoia,” said Hanner.

“We’re not trying to cause anyundue concern, but we’re takingthis very seriously, just as wehave been all along.”

Dixie Heights HighSchool plans to honor Viet-

nam War veteran and alumSteven Tanner at theirhomecoming football gameon Sept. 18.

Tanner, a 1968 graduateof Dixie, turned downnumerous athletic scholar-ships after high school tojoin the Marines. He waskilled in action on Feb. 19,1969.

Principal Kim Banta saysthe school will unveil a per-manent marker near thefootball field to honor Tan-ner and other veterans. Theceremony will start at 6:30p.m.

“We figured this wouldbe a great way to honor thememory of Mr. Tanner andall of our veterans who

have served this countryproudly,” she said.

The ceremony willinclude a 21-gun salute andthe playing of Taps. All vet-erans will receive freeadmission to the gameagainst Ryle, which isscheduled to start at 7 p.m.

Additionally, the footballteam will wear special stick-ers on their helmets display-ing Tanner’s No. 88.

“It should be a neatevening and a way to showall of our veterans howmuch we appreciate whatthey have done for us,” saidBanta.

Edgewood city officialssay they’ll continue toexplore the possibility ofcontracting for leaf collec-tion, although several coun-cil members aren’t opti-mistic it will become a reali-ty this year.

Stan Goetz, the city’sgeneral services director,said that numerous resi-dents had requested the citylook into the possibility of acity-wide leaf collection thisfall.

Goetz reported at theSept. 14 council meetingthat a quote for a one-time,city-wide collection was$16,000. An additionalpick-up, which would likelyhappen near the end of fall,would be $20,000.

“I just don’t know that

this is the year to spend$36,000 on this,” saidcouncilman Dale Henson.“With the economy where itis, I think we’ll have to takea pass for right now.”

Goetz also said that thecompany would work withindividual households, butwould need a minimum of200 houses to sign up.

If 200 houses signed up,the cost per householdwould be $50. If 300 hous-es signed up, the cost wouldbe $35. The city would beresponsible for the billing ofthe houses.

To date, city administra-tor Roger Rolfes said onlyabout 30 households hadexpressed interest in anarrangement.

“The leaves haven’t real-ly fallen yet, so I guessthere is a chance we couldget some more people inter-

ested in the next fewweeks,” said Henson. “But Ijust don’t see a lot of peoplewanting to sign up for this.I think most people wouldrather take care of it them-selves.”

Rolfes said the citywould continue to collectnames of interested resi-dents, but unless they areable to meet the minimum,the program likely won’thappen this year.

“We had people ask us tolook into it, and it just does-n’t look like it’s somethingthat will work this year,”said councilman RaySpears.

“We gave it a shot, butsometimes things just don’twork out.”

Anyone interested in leafcollection, or for more infor-mation, should contact thecity at 331-5910.

Scott High School student ErinWentworth has been critiquinghigh school theatrical productionsfor two years and soon she’llbegin doing the same for shows atCincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

The high school senior, whocritiques local high school theatreas part of the national Cappiesreview and journalism program,was one of 10 local students cho-sen out of more than 40 appli-cants to take part in monthlywoirkshops with CincinnatiEnquirer drama critic JackieDemaline.

“I was really excited; it wassimilar to Cappies, but it’s just tak-ing it to the next level with profes-sional shows,” she said.

Wentworth will receive compli-mentary tickets to five produc-tions, which she will review andthen discuss with other membersof the workshop.

“It was harder, it wasn’t what Iwas expecting it to be,” Went-worth said of writing critically.“You’re actually contributing.When you’re reviewing a play it’snot only being published, but also

actors and actresses get to read itand they get to see your feed-back.”

The 17-year-old was alsopleasantly surprised by the qualityof productions by fellow highschool students.

“In some high schools, it seemslike a professional play,” she said.“If you want to see some theaterproductions and can’t afford topay $50, the high school theaterin some schools is definitelyincredible.”

Wentworth is also bringing herwriting home to Scott by startingup a writing club with fellow sen-ior Jordan Padgett. The studentshope to publish a literary maga-zine with works by Scott studentsby the end of the school year.

“Jordan and I were talkingabout it and we said ‘We can’t bethe only people in Scott who enjoywriting,’” Wentworth said.

The duo hope the club willmeet every few weeks to do writ-ing exercises and peer edit oneanother’s work, whether it’sessays, poetry or short stories.

“If you’re interesting in writing,a writing club is going to give youbetter feedback so you can grow,”Padgett said.

Welcome Back!!Blessed Sacrament second grade students Molly Kleier (left) and Emily Ernst were welcomed to their first day of the new school year bytheir teacher, Mrs. Betsy Greenwell. Classes resumed on Aug. 20.

Six students from Kenton Coun-ty have been awarded a Presiden-tial Scholarship to attend the Uni-versity of Kentucky this fall. ThePresidential Scholarship is worthover $31,500. It provides the costof in-state tuition for four years.

The recipients from KentonCounty who have been awarded

ton High School, daughter of Nor-man and Karen Cain; Paul WilliamGerwe, from Covington CatholicHigh School, son of Larry and SueGerwe; Alexander Lee Hoffmann,from Dixie Heights High School,daughter of Bob and Pat Hoff-

Six Kenton students awardedelite Presidential Scholarships


Citing a track record of conser-vative spending and cost-cuttingmeasures, the Kenton CountySchool Board voted not to increasethe tax rate in 2009 at theirAugust 17 meeting.

Board President Karen Collinssaid the board chose not toincrease the tax rate based mainlyon the economic struggles facingmany residents.

The 2009 rate for real estatewill be $5.58 per $1,000 ofassessed value, with the personalproperty rate being set at $5.59per $1,000 of assessed value.

The real estate rate remains thesame as 2008, with the personalproperty rate rising one cent. Theexpected revenue for the 2009rates is $40,532,797.

“We felt this was the responsi-ble thing to do in this economy,”said Collins. “We wanted to do ourpart to help out residents, becausethese are tough times for every-one.”

Superintendent Tim Hannersaid the board was able to avoid a

rate increase because of theirfinancial efficiency in recent years,including cutting their operatingcosts by approximately $3.1 mil-lion last school year.

“The best part of that though isthat we didn’t impact the class-room,” said Hanner, saying mostof the reduction can be attributedto reorganization of transportationand reducing energy costs.

“Whenever we’re looking forways to reduce our costs, thebiggest thing is making sure itdoesn’t effect out students’ learn-ing, and we’ve been able to dothat.”

Despite the expected decreasein state funding over the next fewyears, Hanner said the schoolboard didn’t hesitate to approvethe compensating rate.

“I’m real proud of the board fordoing what they thought wasright,” he said.

“Because we’ve always beenso efficient with our dollars, we’reable to react like this when timesare tough.”

They also must improvetheir MAP scores, as well asperform at least four hoursof community service.

Counselor Jennifer Webersaid that students andteachers will set their goalsfor the MAP tests, anassessment given a fewtimes each year that focuseson core content, meaningthat students will only bejudged against their priorperformances, not againstother students.

And since some studentsmight have trouble schedul-ing community serviceopportunities, Weber saidthe school is offering somechances of their own.

“The community servicecan include doing thingsaround the school, likestaying after to help theirteacher and working toclean up the area aroundthe school - things likethat,” explained counselorJennifer Weber.

“We just want the kids tobuild good character andtake pride in their school.”

Principal Eric Saylor saidalthough this is the firstyear for the program, theschool is excited to see theresults.

“We think it’s going to bea real benefit for the school,because it will keep kidsfocused on what they needto do,” he said.

The students will beassessed throughout theyear, and the ones whoqualify will receive their cer-tificate at the school’s annu-al end of the year awardceremony.

“It’s really just a coolidea for the kids, and a good

way to reward them fortheir effort during the year

to do the right thing,” saidWeber.

Beechwood second-grad-er Mason Bushelman staredintently at the music sheetin front of him, trying to fol-low teacher Alyssa Vander-pool’s lead on the keyboard.

“There you go Mason –good job!” exclaimed Van-derpool, watching carefullyas he worked his waythrough the notes.

Bushelman grinned backat his teacher.

“I knew I could do it,” hesaid with a proud smile.

Smiles are plentifularound Vanderpool’s musicroom this year, as she wasjust named the NorthernKentucky Music Teacher ofthe Year by the Music Edu-cators Association.

As a district winner, Van-derpool will also have achance to be selected as theKentucky Music Teach ofthe Year in February.

Vanderpool was nomi-nated by Beechwood BandDirector Joe Craig for theaward, and was selected by

the KMEA to represent theeight-county Northern Ken-tucky District.

“I had no idea Mr. Craigeven nominated me, so itcame as a real surprise tome,” admitted Vanderpoolwith a laugh. “I just couldn’tbelieve it, because there areso many great music teach-

ers in the district.”Vanderpool said she’s

always wanted to be ateacher, but didn’t reallybegin to focus on a musiccareer until high school,despite the fact she hadtaken piano lessons andvoice lessons growing up.

“Ever since I can remem-

ber, I knew I wanted to be ateacher and help peoplelearn,” she said. “But whenI got to high school, it reallystarted to click for me thatmusic could be a great wayto reach my dream.”

She attended EasternKentucky University, whereshe received a bachelor’sdegree in music education,before receiving master’sdegrees in Arts Educationand Instructional Leader-ship from Northern Ken-tucky University.

Now in her 10th year atBeechwood, she teaches allaspects of music to a varietyof age levels.

She works with the highschool and eighth-gradechoirs, and also teachesgeneral music to students inkindergarten through fourthgrade.

“I get the best of bothworlds, because I get to doall different levels of teach-ing every day,” she said.“It’s what I love doing.”

And despite the loomingstate awards in February,she said she’s just trying to

focus on another great yearfor her students.

“I just try to keep thingsfun in here and constantlychange things to keep the

kids interested,” she said.“Music is so important, andto be honored like this forteaching music is reallyexciting for me.”

Bellevue and Scott highschools expect to get moreout of their defenses in theirnext games after each teamsurrendered more than 40points in their last contest.

The Eagles defense willneed to bounce back quick-ly after surrendering 48points, including the gamewinning touchdown andtwo-point conversion with15 seconds remaining.

Bellevue has a bye theweekend of Sept. 18. TheTigers have more time torecover after giving up 41points but escaping with avictory.

These two teams playedeach other to a thrilling fin-ish Friday, Sept. 11.

Senior running backRicky Buckler scored a three-yard touchdown run with 15seconds remaining to givethe Tigers the 48-41 win.

Buckler rushed 31 timesfor 285 yards and fourtouchdowns to carry theTigers to victory. He gotplenty of help from hisquarterback, senior RichardWills.

Wills completed 13 of 16passes for 148 yards and atouchdown. He led his team80 yards down the field forthe winning score in justover two minutes.

“He played a whale of agame,” Bellevue head coachDave Eckstein of his quar-terback said. “That lastdrive was phenomenal.”

Tigers kicker KaylynnDill was 2-4 on extra pointtries in the game.

Eckstein did not want toput his kicker in a positionto attempt a game-winningfield goal. He wanted Willsto drive his team down thefield for a touchdown. Thesenior quarterback deliv-ered.

His counterpart alsoturned in a gutsy perform-ance. Eagles senior quarter-back/kicker/punter/puntreturner/kick returner/strong safety Zach Sowdernearly led his team to acome-from-behind victory.

Sowder rushed for 279yards, passed for 45 yards,rushed for two touchdowns,threw for another, andkicked five extra points.

“He does a little bit ofeverything for us and doesit all extremely well,” Scottoffensive coordinator DanWolley said.

Bellevue built a 28-14lead late in the first half.Buckler scored on the Tigersfirst offensive play of thegame, an 86-yard run.

The Eagles scored withless than a minute remain-ing in the half on a 51-yardhalfback pass from RyanSowder to Aaron Smith tocut the halftime deficit toseven.

“That play changed themomentum going into thesecond half,” said Eckstein,who was not happy with histeam’s mental lapse on theplay.

The teams exchangedtouchdowns throughout thesecond half.

Zach Sowder connectedwith Nick Farris for a 23-yard score to give theEagles their first lead of thegame with less than threeminutes to play.

That was enough timefor Wills to lead the Tigersback down the field.

Bellevue, a Class 1Ateam, split its first fourgame of the season, allagainst bigger schools.

“We challenged our teamand it made us better,” Eck-stein said. “We think it willreally help us for districtplay. We’ve seen what weneed to beat good teams.”

Scott, a Class 5A team,drops to 0-3 on the yearafter suffering a heartbreak-ingly close loss for the sec-ond straight week.

They bounced backagainst Bellevue after aone-point loss to Cooper.

They will look torebound again Sept. 18against Harrison County.

“Our kids are still fight-ing, still believing,” Wolleysaid. “We’ve gotten betterevery week. We’re proud ofour team for putting our-selves in games and fight-ing to the end.”

Beechwood 36,Holy Cross 35 (OT)

Holy Cross (2-1) lost itsfirst game of the season andwhat looked to be its first-ever win over the Tigers.Beechwood capitalized on alate Indians turnover to tie

the game at 29 with lessthan a minute to play, forc-ing overtime.

Beechwood running backJoe Colosimo scored his fourthtouchdown of the game onthe Tigers OT possession. JoeyNussbaum’s extra point wasgood and the Tigers cameaway with a win.

This was the first yearfor a full-fledged All “A”Classic state tournament involleyball.

Villa Madonna Academyhead coach Sandi Kitchensaid her team should learn alot from the championshipatmosphere at Eastern Ken-tucky University Sept. 12.

“I’m encouraged by theenthusiasm they have forthis,” she said. “It’s nice tohave this for volleyball.”

It was also good for theBlue Lightning to have a15-3 record heading intothe All “A” tourney. Theybeat bigger school Conner intheir last regular matchbefore heading to Rich-mond.

That broke a two-matchlosing streak to Beechwoodand Highlands whenKitchen said the team camedown a little from winningthe All “A” regional.

“We didn’t pass the ballreal well,” Kitchen said.“That is the main skill of ourteam. It has to be there orwe don’t go anywhere.We’re not going to over-power anybody so we haveto run a skilled offense.”

A big part of that offenseis seniors Amy Kreutzer,Stephanie Sias and KacyCorbit. A fourth senior, Jes-sica Gresham, is a libero.

Sias, Corbit and juniorHannah Knochelmann arethe team leaders in kills.Sophomore Jasmine Beal isamong the Northern Ken-tucky leaders in assists.

Sias was the most valu-able player in the regionaltourney. Kreutzer and Bealwere all-tournament picks.

After the state tourney,VMA will prepare for theoverall postseason.

After beating DixieHeights and Lloyd in districtplay, the Lightning look tobe the No. 2 seed behindpower St. Henry. That couldlead to Villa qualifying forthe Ninth Region tourneyfor the first time since 2000.They would likely playDixie in a district tourneysemifinal in an eliminationmatch to get to the regional.

“Dixie is strong and anup-and-coming team,”Kitchen said. “It was a bat-tle to beat them. They havea new coach and theyshould improve along theway.”

Lauren O’Conner isfocused on helping the Scottvolleyball team have anoutstanding season.

The towering junior hit-ter was recently namedKentucky’s state player ofthe week by the AmericanVolleyball Coaches Associa-tion.

She led Northern Ken-tucky in kills as the Eaglesflew off to an outstanding19-2 start to the season.

O’Conner has verballycommitted to play at thenext level for the University

to UK. It’s my dreamschool,” she said. “Every-thing is perfect there – thecoaches and the girls.”

O’Conner and the Eagleswon their home-court Sep-tember Slam tourney for thefirst time in several yearsSept. 5. They beat toughregional rivals such as Con-ner, Highlands and Simon

Kenton along the way.O’Conner said that was a

big goal for the team head-ing into a similar tourney atHighlands Sept. 11-12.

“Our passing has gottena lot better,” head coachAndrea Sullivan said. “Wehave really emphasized thata lot. We’ve got the hittersbut we’ve got to get the ballto them.”

Joining O’Conner is the

other twin towering Lauren– Lauren Tibbs, whose colle-giate future is in basketball.

Sullivan said thatalthough Tibbs is not a year-round volleyball player likeO’Conner, she devotes herfull attention to the white-balled sport while in season.

Simon Kenton senior Kathryn Smithserves the ball during the ScottSeptember Slam Sept. 5.

I had an interesting visit atGateway Community and Techni-cal College’s Boone Campusrecently to learn about the eco-nomic development programs theschool offers.

Jim Volz, vice president of Kus-tom Group in Richwood, and Imet with Gateway President Dr.Ed Hughes and members of thecollege faculty and staff. One mis-sion of the college is skills training– working with businesses in ourcommunity to provide customizedservices and training for theiremployees. By making sureworkers have the skills employersneed, we can keep those jobs herein Northern Kentucky rather thanoverseas. By creating jobs locally,we can raise needed revenue forquality schools and roads withoutraising taxes.

The college’sWorkforce Solu-tions Depart-ment hasoffered trainingin a wide varietyof programs andw o r k s h o p s ,many on-site atthe company’splants places ofbusiness. I’mfascinated athow the Gate-way staff con-tact area busi-nesses andindustry on aregular basis to

assess their needs and follow upwith them afterwards. It’s a hand-in-hand partnership and realboost to our local economy.

These services cover a widerange, from lean manufacturing,health care, and customer serviceskills to Spanish language,Microsoft Office, and even leader-ship and management training.There’s even training to helpworkers become certified orlicensed in their technical fieldslike plumbing.

Recently, lean manufacturinghas been of particular interest tomany businesses. That was oneof the reasons Jim and I wanted tolearn more about Gateway’s pro-grams, because Toyota hasbecome a leader in the automo-tive field and a real asset to Ken-tucky’s economy because of theiremphasis on lean manufacturing.It’s not just a skill; it’s a philoso-phy of efficiency that shortens thetime between customer order and

factory shipment, eliminatingwaste and saving money.

The Gateway Workforce Solu-tions Department offers lean sim-ulation training as well as leanimplementation. Participantswork in a simulated factory floorenvironment, producing an actualproduct. Students see, feel, andmeasure the effects as differentprinciples are incorporated intothe simulated factory. It’s amaz-ing to see the difference, and it’san attitude that workers will takewith them wherever they go,even if they change jobs downthe road.

Another benefit that Gatewayoffers is a program, funded by theGeneral Assembly, that provides75 percent of the cost of eligibletraining that a company needs.It’s a simple but effective program

that helps keep jobs here at homeby making sure workers have theskills nobody else has.

I travel by the campus everyday, as do many of you, and Iasked Dr. Hughes about the newconstruction I’ve seen. Heexplained that it’s the Center forAdvanced Manufacturing, whichwill open in the spring. Businessand industry leaders consulted onits design, so we know it willmeet their needs. With so manymanufacturing jobs in our com-munity, the new center is justwhat we need to remain competi-tive with our workforce.

Last week’s questionShould there be laws ban-

ning all use of cell phoneswhile driving? Why or whynot?

“This question struck a rawnerve with me and I’m surewith anyone else who has lost aloved one due to the actions of adistacted driver. Absolutely! Thereshould be laws banning all use ofcell phones while driving and withsevere and costly penalties. It’s badenough we deal with people thatdrive under the influence, and nowthey’re on the phone. I cannotthink of any reason that wouldjustify a person using a cell phonewhile driving.”

N.C., Florence

“Absolutely! You cannot keepyour mind on traffic and on aphone conversation at the sametime no matter how smart youthink you are. I tried it once to seehow it felt and almost ran into threecars. I was sitting at a red light onU.S. 42 and looked to my left, myright and in the rearview mirror.Guess what? All three were on thecells. And drove off yakking.”

Duke

“Why stop at cell phone use?Why not ban driving with onehand, talking to passengers, eating,

drinking, smoking, singing, adjust-ing the radio/heater/air conditioner,looking at people/scenery/bill-boards, reading the newspaper,putting on make-up, changingclothes, etc.? All of these behaviorshave resulted in accidents of vary-ing levels of severity in the past.There will always be idiot drivers.Drive defensively. And you controlfreaks, socialists and hypocriteswho want to ban cell phone usewhile driving, listen up: you can’teffectively run your own lives, sostop trying to run mine.”

Jeffrey Learman, Florence

“Yes. The distraction while driv-ing only increases the chance ofauto accidents. Phones should beused only when the car is parked.”

G.G.

“There should be laws banningcell phones while driving unlessthey are completely ‘hands-free.’ Adriver’s eyes need to be focused onthe road, not looking down at a cellphone.”

H.S.

As we begin a new schoolyear, it is time for fresh excite-ment about Kentucky education.In just the past few months, keydevelopments have positionedKentucky for more rapid improve-ment than we’ve seen at any timesince the early 1990s. Here’s aquick summary of what’s hap-pened and why it matters.

First, Kentucky is developingnew academic standards that willbe shorter, clearer and betteraligned with college readiness andglobal competition. Senate Bill 1,passed this spring, commits us tothat major revision and to match-ing tests that will start in 2012.

Second, national developmentswill strengthen our SB 1 work.Forty-six states have committedvoluntarily to develop CommonCore standards in mathematicsand language arts, with Kentuckypoised to be one of the very firstto apply those expectations in ourteaching, our testing and ouraccountability process.

Kentucky will also benefit fromthe federal Department of Educa-tion’s commitment of $350 mil-lion to develop robust testingbased on the Common Coreapproach.

Third, state leadership is nowunified on education in a way wehave rarely seen. Leaders in bothparties and both houses of thelegislature backed SB 1, and theyand Gov. Steve Beshear intend tosee it succeed. Terry Holliday, ournew commissioner of education,is off to a great start, as is BobKing, the new president of theCouncil on Postsecondary Educa-tion. Together, Commissioner Hol-liday and President King havealready launched major collabora-tions, including a longitudinalstudent data system to track stu-dents’ progress from pre-k to col-lege and beyond.

Fourth, wehave growingclarity about acentral fact: stan-dards, tests, datasystems andstate politicalc o m m i t m e n t s

will only yield higher achieve-ment if they are implemented wellin classrooms. At this spring’sPrichard Committee meeting, SirMichael Barbour identified teach-ing quality as the essential factorin the success of top-performingschool systems around the world.In his words, “The only way toimprove outcomes is to improveinstruction.”

Barbour, a partner of McKinsey& Co. and a former official in theadministration of British PrimeMinister Tony Blair, made a com-pelling case for four main strate-gies that work to build consistent-ly effective teaching for all stu-dents:

• Recruiting and trainingstrong candidates to enter theeducation profession.

• Strengthening current teach-ing through collaborative profes-sional development that changesclassroom practice.

• Using data from tests andschool inspection systems tomeasure progress and to inter-vene when progress is too slow.

• Developing school leadershipable to forge those three ele-ments-new teachers, support forcurrent teachers, and data onresults-into schools that deliverrapid achievement growth for allstudents.

In hindsight, it is easy to seethat our 1990 reform often fellshort on the teaching qualityfront. We offered rewards for suc-cess and consequences for failure,and we assumed our educatorswere already equipped to respond

to those incentives. In reality,they needed more direct androbust support-just as athletesreaching for a major prize needsustained coaching to deliver theirbest performance.

Teaching quality work could bethe Achilles’ heel of our newefforts as well. Senate Bill 1 didcall for new attention to effectiveinstruction, directing the statedepartment to ensure training forcurrent educators on implement-ing the new standards and direct-ing the Education ProfessionalStandards Board to ensure thatteacher preparation programs dothe same thing for teacher candi-dates.

Unfortunately, those twoagencies have endured a decadeof funding cuts. Stripped to thebare bones, they will be very hardpressed to implement robust newlearning activities with their cur-rent funding.

That makes the fifth and finalreason for new excitement espe-cially important. The federal gov-ernment is offering $4 billion incompetitive “Race to the Top”grants for states that can showthe best records of past reformand the best new plans to pushthose reforms further. Commis-sioner Holliday has already mobi-lized his staff and an impressivelyrepresentative advisory board todraft a strong Kentucky applica-tion.

Together, these developmentsoffer Kentucky a great opportuni-ty. If we seize the day, workingtogether with great energy in thecoming months, we can ensurethat our new standards translateinto new teaching strength inevery classroom and new levelsof achievement for all our chil-dren.

Sam Corbett is chair of the PrichardCommittee for Academic Excellence.

Power resides in familyThis is in response to a letter to

the editor published Sept. 10.I commend the Kenton County

School District for allowing stu-dents to opt-out of the presidentialspeech Sept. 8. By doing so, theKCSD reinforced to its students thefreedom we have as American cit-izens and recognized the funda-mental right of parents to directthe upbringing and education oftheir children.

No one argues the importanceof education and personal respon-sibility. In fact, such a messagehas greater impact on childrencoming from parents than fromthe president. And that’s how it’ssupposed to be. However, certainquestions children were requiredto discuss in connection with theaddress raised understandablecause for concern for some people.

The authors’ charge that allow-ing the choice to opt out was “un-American” is erroneous. Freedomis American. It’s duplicitous to callfor respect for opposing viewsthen cry “shame on the KCSD” fordoing so. I question the authors’

true motives when they label legit-imate views which oppose theirsas, “hatred, hostility, intolerance.”Disagreement is necessary to the“meaningful debate” the authorsclaim to want while at the sametime implying opposing voicesshould be silenced. The authorscall on people to think for them-selves. That is precisely why achoice to opt out was appropriate.

We don’t live in a dictatorship.The country fails if “We the Peo-ple” fail. To President Obama,“moving forward” means to “fun-damentally transform” America.Thankfully, “We the People” stillrealize the potential consequencesof relinquishing our freedoms andpower to the government. “Ourchildren” is also “my children.”And “We the People” don’t want afundamental transformation ofAmerica, especially if it means thereal seat of power, which resideswithin the family, is usurped bythe president.

Anyone in the community cancome by the pantry twice a month totake home two pounds of hamburger,hot dogs, cheese, bacon, eggs, milk,various canned and nonperishableproducts and more. If a family needsmore than just food, they can also gethelp with clothing for the entire fami-ly as well as cleaning and personalhygiene products.

“We’re not going to judge anybody,we’re just going to help them,” Olzes-ki said.

In order to visit the pantry, Com-munity Family Church is asking peo-

ple to attend a church service to get acard authorizing them to go thepantry.

“We hope they attend one of theservices from Pastor Tommy Bates andget some insight about life and getsome help,” Olzeski said.

As for Bates, he hopes attending aservice will “strengthen” people inneed.

“We want to let them meet the peo-ple who gave them these things to letthem know there are people willing tohelp other people,” Bates said.

Getting help from the pantry is notjust limited to people living in Inde-pendence or even Kenton County,Bates said.

“This is not just a ministry that iscontained here in Independence, Ky. Itreaches Over the Rhine into the Tri-state,” he said.

Buckethead

For sheep to be sheep isadmirable. That’s their truenature. Sheep are neverextolled today or in thescriptures as being clever orcourageous.

They seem more helplessthan resourceful. They fre-quently wander off and getlost and are easy prey forpredators.

When in trouble, theyusually panic and bleat forhelp from the shepherd.

Sheep are not verysmart.

Yet, who can blame asheep for being a sheep?They live what they are.What would be troublingwould be to see a bird or ahuman try to live as asheep.

Especially a human.We’ve been created with

a rational nature. We are togrow, develop insight andwisdom, possess a mindthat enables us to seek andrecognize truth and havethe courage to live by it.

Humans are supposed toneed other human shep-herds less and less as theymature.

When immature, and stillgrowing, we need parents,disciplinarians and teachers– guides outside ourselves.

When we grow up – ifwe grow up – our guidancecomes chiefly from withinourselves; a well-formedconscience and sense ofresponsibility.

Guides outside of usnever become completelyunimportant, but much lessnecessary.

A sad thing seems to behappening. Too many peo-ple seem to be acting assheep. Sheeple are people

who actlike sheep.

W h e nt h a toccurs, wedon’t useour mindsto studyproblemsthorough-ly andu n d e r -s t a n dt h e m

effectively.We stop looking for

truth. We graze on soundbites, slogans and little bitsof information lying on theground that taste good.

When we are turninginto sheeple, we lose sightof truth and priorities. Webecome easy prey formanipulation by politicians,advertisers, bureaucrats,and sometimes even bypeople we call religiousleaders.

Our shepherds are calledspin doctors – false shep-herds who have no interestin the common good, us, orthe truth, only their ownagenda.

As sheeple we have astrong flock instinct. Weneed to think and act aseverybody else.

It’s said that the instinctsand logic of a mob gradual-ly become lower than theindividuals that comprisethe mob. We turn our mindsover to others.

Sheeple are dazzled bywords and forget justice; aremoved by emotions and for-get logic. We believe peers,advertisers, politicians andcelebrities about what isimportant in life. We acqui-esce to anyone who claims

to speak for God.The masses of people

have been pictured as ahuge pyramid. Most of usare depicted toward the bot-tom somewhere, and thenumbers become fewer asthe pyramid narrows andascends.

Psychologists such asAbraham Maslow urge us tobecome self-actualized andmove upward.

That means to grow inknowledge and personalawareness of our own stateand truths of reality.

The journey upward isvery difficult, but possible.Great spiritual teachers suchas Jesus Christ told us whathappens when we aretransformed from sheeple topeople, “ … you will knowthe truth and the truth will

set you free.”Free from what? Free

from a flock mentality. Freefrom not recognizing ourdignity. Free from igno-rance, deception and beingused by others. Free fromour defenses and illusions inorder to become our truestself.

Ads for products on TVand in print that don’t dis-close the shipping and han-dling charges are becomingincreasingly common.

Such charges should becarefully considered beforeordering because sometimesthey can be quite substantial.

That’s what a Westwoodwoman has learned.

Sue LaRue has beenanalyzing ads and foundseveral that either don’t dis-close the charge or do so invery small print.

“I think they’re sayingtwo things. I think they’resaying ‘free shipping’ or‘plus shipping,’ but they’renot saying how much theshipping is. That’s whathappened in my case,” shesaid.

LaRue answered an adshe saw on TV.

But, even after sheplaced the order for two ofthe items, she just got aprintout without the prices.

“I agreed to pay $39.98.The shipping and handlingwas $65.80, but I didn’tknow that till I got the pack-age in the mail,” LaRue said.

The packing slip showedthe total cost came to morethan $100 – something shesays should have been dis-closed upfront.

After LaRue complainedto the company about theshipping charges, a repre-sentative agreed to give hera $15 credit.

But that still means the

items she wanted cost her$40, and the shipping andhandling cost $50 – morethan the items themselves.

“I just feel like they’redeceptive and if peoplearen’t paying attentionthey’re going to end upspending a lot of moneythey may not be able to getback,” LaRue said.

So, I contacted the com-pany LaRue had orderedfrom and was told theydon’t disclose the shippingand handling charges in thead because the same ad isused in Canada and chargeswill be quite different there.

They maintain they dodisclose the charges beforethe transaction is completed– and after the state salestaxes are added.

But, LaRue said shenever saw that disclosure.And, while you can cancelyour order and get backyour money, you can’t getback the shipping costs.

Bottom line, carefullywatch out for shipping andhandling charges in both TVand print ads.

If they are not disclosedin the ad, be sure to look forthe charges before you placeyour order.

Howard AinHey Howard!

My husband Frank and Iwent to anA m i s hc o u n t r yp r o d u c eauction inB a i n -b r i d g e ,Ohio, nearThe SevenCaves, atthe invita-tion off r i e n d sBert and

Bob Villing.It was something to see.As we approached the

auction shelter, we sawhorse-drawn wagons withhuge amounts of pumpkins,melons and produce enterthe graveled area.

I understood that folkscould bid on the whole wag-onload.

Inside the shelter youcould walk around andcheck out the produce insmaller units, like a bushelof squash, three pecks ofcucumbers, even up to 100or so pumpkins and gourds.

The little Amish boyswere so cute – runningaround barefoot with sus-

pendered overalls and hats.Bert and I bought some

beautiful red and green pep-pers.

I couldn’t wait to gethome to make Bert’s redpepper relish. I also madestuffed peppers for supper,with rice, lamb, tomatosauce and seasonings.

Bert’s red pepper relishNo real recipe, but here

are Bert’s guidelines slightlyadapted by me. Makes 7 to8 half pints. Measure ingre-dients after dicing.

6 cups of finely diced redbell peppers (or green, yel-low, etc.)

11⁄2 cups finely dicedonions

Boiling water1⁄2 cup diced jalapeños

(opt.)

Grind up peppers andonions in food processor,blender or just chop fine.

Put in bowl and pourboiling water to cover. Letsit five minutes, then drain.Make brine.

Bring to boil:2 cups vinegar (I used

cider, but clear is OK)1 cup sugar (more to

taste)11⁄2 teaspoons each: mus-

tard seeds, celery seeds anddry mustard

Put drained pepper mix-ture into brine and cook forfive minutes.

Pour into hot jars, cleanrims and seal. Process inboiling water bath five min-

utes.You can also just cook

this up, cool, put in freezercontainers and freeze.

Marge Miller’sapple dumplings

Marge is known as theapple dumpling lady in Cler-mont County and at mychurch, Holy Trinity inBatavia.

I love her dumplingswith the wonderful cinna-mon flavor. They arealways the first thing to goat any of our events.

This is for Nancy, whobegan cooking at age 11.“My mother was a wonder-ful cook and my best friend.She passed away last year,”she wrote.

Nancy wanted to re-cre-ate her Mom’s dumplingrecipe which used brownsugar and cinnamon.

Nancy said her Mom’ssauce was a thin vanillasauce using cinnamon. I’veadapted this only slightly.

1 double pie crust8 Golden Delicious

apples, peeled and cored(I’ve used whatever apples Ihad on hand)

4 teaspoons butterMix the following and

set aside:1 cup granulated or

brown sugar1 generous tablespoon

cinnamon

Divide the prepared piecrust into eight equal pieces.Roll out each piece into theshape of a square about 6 to8 inches.

To test the size, place anapple in the center of it andsee if you can bring the 4corners up to meet at thetop.

Place 1 peeled and coredapple in the center of one ofthe squares of rolled piecrust.

Fill the cavity with someof the sugar/cinnamon mix-ture. Dot the top of thesugar with 1⁄2 tsp. butter.

Bring one corner of thepastry up over the top of theapple. Take the oppositecorner and overlap it overthe first one. Moisten to sealthese two together.

Repeat with the last twocorners of the pastry. Moist-en to seal the last two cor-ners together.

Place the 8 dumplings ina sprayed baking dish.

Cinnamon sauce:Combine the following

syrup ingredients and cookfor three minutes.

If you can’t find cinna-mon hearts, use a teaspoonof cinnamon and a drop ortwo of red food coloring ifyou want.

11⁄2 cups sugar11⁄2 tablespoons corn-

starch2 cups water3 tablespoons lemon

juice7-8 cinnamon decora-

tions (little cinnamon Valen-tine hearts) or more to taste

1 teaspoon vanilla(Rita’s addition)

Pour the syrup over thedumplings in the bakingdish. If you want, baste asthey bake.

Bake at 375 degrees for

50 to 60 minutes until wellbrowned and a fork pressedinto the apple tests soft.

Each guest room or suitehas a stained glass window,usually in the bedroom, a Victorianfireplace mantel with a gas logunit, antique light fixtures andsome have beautiful old doors.The wood mouldings around thedoor & windows & the 5 stairwaysare inspired by centuries old motifsfrom Great Britain’s stately homes& castles. Most rooms also havea French door with a balcony,private deck overlooking theforest. There are also “medieval”themed cottages with fireplacesand whirlpools. Ravenwood has
