ALEXANDRIA Police haveissued a warning to drivers onU.S. 27 to slowdown in the citysschool zone or risk a ticket.

A sign erected by policeaimed at drivers heading northonU.S. 27 just after PeteNeiserDrive states this is your warn-ing that the fines for speedingin a school zone have been dou-bled.

Speeding 10 mph over theposted 25 mph limit will be an$184 ticket, said Lt. GeorgeSchreiner.

Officers have written nine

school zone speeding citationssince students returned toschool Aug. 14 through Sept. 26,Schreiner said. Officers haveissued 41 speed warningsthroughout the city in the sameperiod of time, but couldnot sayhow many warnings were is-sued in the school zone.

The school zone is betweenPete Neiser Drive, where Bish-op Brossart High School is lo-cated, and Campbell CountyMiddle School. Next to the mid-dle school is the central officecampus for Campbell CountySchools and the districts alter-native school.

The school zone speed limit

is25mphbetween6:45-7:35a.m.and 2-2:45 p.m. The postedspeed limit in the city onU.S. 27outside of the school zone is 40mph.

The warning does not meanthere is a zero tolerance policy,but it does mean people speed-ing run the risk of receiving aticket without any warning,Schreiner said.

We didnt tell these officersthat you cannot give a warningfor it, he said.

Schreiner said speeding inthe school zone ismost commonwhen drivers are travelingnorth on U.S. 27.

Its always been an issue,

he said. For some odd reasonthey dont see the school zonesigns lit up.

If police sat and gave ticketsto everyone speeding three,four or five mph over the limitthere would be no shortage ofoffenders cited, Schreiner said.

If we were strict with it toanything over 25 mph wed beup there all day, he said.

Schreiner said there is nospecific speed over the 25 mphguaranteeing someone will notget a ticket.

If theyre still doing 40mphthrough the school zone theyregoing to get a ticket, he said.

Schreiner said the sign will

not stay up all school year, butpeople havebeenwarnedby thesign.

We put it out at the begin-ning of the school year just toget everybody to slow down alittle bit, he said.

Safety for students is alwaysthe top priority of the CampbellCounty School District and thesignpromotes safedriving, saidConnie Pohlgeers, director ofschool improvement and com-munity education.

As they are on their way toand from school we would hopethepublicwould joinoureffortsto put student safety first,Pohlgeers said.

SCHOOL NOTES

The Northern Kentucky Communi-ty Action Commission received a$7,500 grant from Toyota EngineeringandManufacturing, North America tosupport its Head Start centers inBoone, Kenton, and Campbell coun-ties. The grant will be used to offsetcosts left by the money lost due to thesequestration.

This money, says Head Start Di-rector LaurieWolsing, will be used tofoster the natural curiosity and desireto learnthatallyoungpeoplehave.Thedevelopment of literacy skills and alove of education will resonatethroughout the childs life, beginningnow with Head Start and continuinginto their school career.

The impact is not only a benefit tothe children says Executive DirectorFlorence Tandy. These young learn-ers at ourHead Start centerswill go toschoolmore prepared for the expecta-tions of the schools they attend. Thestate is adopting the common corestandards, so the readiness of everystudent to learn matters not just totheir family but also to the district as awhole.

Tandy says that as improved schooldistricts attract young families intothe area the entire region will benefit.

Toyota Engineering and Manufac-turing employs over 3,000 people andhas its headquarters in Erlanger.

ALEXANDRIA While it tooksome time to manifest itselfMonday night, Sept. 30, theCampbell County High Schoolvolleyball team is feeling thatlate-season urgency as they tryto earn a return trip to the statetournament this year.

The Camels defeated neigh-borly and 37th District rivalBishop Brossart 3-1 at Camp-bell, 28-26, 22-25, 25-13, 25-20.The Camels took a 15-10 recordintomatches with Conner Tues-dayandatNotreDameWednes-day, after deadline.

At first we were a littlerocky, started off shaky, but weplayed well at the end, seniormiddle hitter Dixie Schultzsaid. We hustled, we had ag-gressive serves. I thought wecould have played better, butwe won and thats all that mat-ters.

The Camels used their bal-anced attack to beat the Mus-tangs. Schultz had 13 kills. Ju-nior Kirby Seiter led the teamwith 14 kills and also posted 23digs. Junior Emily Rich had 13kills. Junior setter CarsonGrayhad 44 assists and junior HaleyCundiff posted 24 digs.

We have everything thisyear, Schultz said. Were stilltrying to piece everything to-gether, but I think well be avery strong team at the end.

Schultz and Seiter are re-turning offensive threats fromlast year. Rich, a 6-foot-2 hitter,has become a major part of theoffense after only playingright-side block a year ago andfocusing on defense.

Dixie has really stepped upin the last couple of weeks.Shes really got connected withCarson, said Camels headcoach Kim Nemcek. HavingKirby out there helps, shes al-ways consistent. Having Emilyhas been big. We moved her tooutside and she has improveddramatically since last year.Wehave more options this year.

After the teamssplit the firsttwo games Sept. 30, Campbelldominated the third game andtook a quick 9-3 lead in thefourth to keep control.

Campbell has three seniors,counting Schultz, middle hitterTaylorKennedyandoutsidehit-ter Kaelynn Webb. Repeatingas regional champion will be achallenge, Nemcek said. TheCamels have split two matcheswith district rival Scott, and theMustangs will be there as well.

We do have a lot of return-ersfromlastyearbut itsnot thesame team, Nemcek said.Theyre going to have to worktwice as hard if they want to goto state this year. Theyre goingtohavetoplayhardandearn it.

Said Schultz: I would be sohappy. Iwant togotostateagainand I think we can do it. Know-ing that we are talented enoughto do that is really humbling. Ijust love it.

Brossart, 13-11, plays at Lud-lowThursdayandreturnshomeOct. 8 against Harrison County.Brossart has five seniors: AlexHinkel, Ashley Arthur, AllisonSteelman, Sarah Steelman andMarissa Frommeyer.

NEWPORT EnteringOctober, Newport CentralCatholics volleyball teamhassevenopportunities toequal last seasons win to-tal.

In addition to buildingon lastyears10-20season,the Thoroughbreds wantto avoid limping into thepostseason as they did ayear ago. Last year, New-Cath lost five of its finalsix regular seasonmatch-es. This years squad ispoised to continue im-proving down the stretchand enter the postseasonon a high note.

The Thoroughbredsenter the final month ofthe seasonwith a 9-10 rec-ord. Even in the losses,they have shown signs ofimprovement. Playing inprestigious tournamentsin Louisville and Cincin-nati in recent weeks hashelped build confidence.

Ithelpsusas farasbe-ing competitive, saidhead coach Vicki Fleissn-erofplayingintoughtour-naments during the regu-lar season. We reallystruggled last year inthose kind of tourna-ments. This year, wedidnt get the results wewant, but we competedwell.

Despite last yearsstruggles, the Thorough-breds never thought ofbacking down. They haveresponded to the difficultschedule and setbacksbetter this season.

Whenyouplayatoughschedule, it can eitherbeat you down or buildyou up, said Fleissner.We want to keep takingsteps forward withouttaking those small stepsback.

Led by senior setterAlyssa Maier, the Bredshave seamlessly incorpo-rated a diverse startinglineup. Every high schoolclass - freshman, sopho-more, junior, and senior -is represented in thestarting lineup.Freshmanoutside hitter Rachel Mc-Donald played on thefreshman team as aneighth-grader last yearand has stepped right intoamajorroleon thevarsitythis season. Middle hit-ters Nikki Kiernan, a sen-ior, andKeyiara Lankheit,a junior, have showedmuch improvement intheir blocking and de-

fense. Most importantly,they all like playing withone another.

Our chemistry andteam unity is great, saidFleissner. The girls areall like-minded and theycare about each other aspeople.

NewCath has won itslast six sets, sweepingBishop Brossart andHolmes in consecutivematches. The Thorough-breds continue to work onbecoming more aggres-sive defensively. Theyhave bounced back fromdefeats against qualityopponents and are justtwo wins away from best-ing last years win total.

Were hoping we cancarry that into the lastthree weeks of the sea-son, Fleissner said.

does he want fromme?Make nomistake, God does want me to beobedient, to walk in his ways,and to witness to others abouthim.

Yet, above all those things,what God wants more than any-thing is my heart. And with myheart comes my time and atten-tion. The Bible tells us that Goddoesnt look down from heavento see if we are living righteous-ly or not: The Lord looks downfrom heaven upon the childrenof men, to see if there are anywho understand, who seek God.(Psalm14:2)

The Lord watches and waitsfor us to seek him.

Interestingly, when I comparewhat God wants with all the oth-

er relationships in my life, I findwhat they all really crave is thesame: my heart. And with myheart comes my time and atten-tion.

Fifteen minutes playing foot-ball with my son goes a lot fur-ther than a new pair of Nikesocks. Fifteen minutes playingBarbies with my 5-year old,means more than a new Barbie.Fifteen minutes listening to my12-year old talk about horsesmeans more than a new ridinghelmet. (Well, I may be pushingit on that last one.)

However, one things for sure,You will showme the path oflife; in your presence if fullnessof joy; at your right hand arepleasures forevermore. (Psalm16:11)

Today, experience the fullnessof joy and pleasures forever-more simply by spending timewith God and those you love.

Building important indecisions

I dont think I could everpersuade Mr. Holt and asmall group of discontentsthat the adults and childrenof southernCampbellCoun-ty deserve a library branchin its own building.

I have observed the li-brarysboardsover thepastfour decades and I thinkthey, contrary to Mr. Holtsassertion, have made somepretty good choices. For ex-ample, instead of puttingthe Fort Thomas branch inthe former Hader Hard-ware store, they chose tobuild a comfortable and in-viting branch on HighlandAve.

Instead of putting theNewport Branch in the for-mer IGA store, they choseto build a naturally lit andattractivebranchnextdoor.Mr. Holt and others dontunderstand the communityand economic value of hav-ing a library in its ownbuilding. Putting a libraryin a former commercialbuilding is like putting a

fire department in the for-mer Thriftway store in Al-exandria not a good idea.

The people of southernCampbell deserve a libraryin a building that doesnthave to have costly remod-eling done followed bycostly utilities. The pro-posed fourth branch will belocated relatively close toseveral school districts.Considering the inherentlimitations of school librar-ies, students and parentswill be climbing over eachother trying to get into theproposed fourth branch.

You dont have to agreewith Mr. Holt. The fourthbranch can still become areality if citizens push forit. Fort Thomas residentspushed and voted for it, butsouthern county citizensdidnt. Is it that they justdont understand the valueof a new library branch totheir area? That would be ashame for they really de-serve a new branch onethats long overdue.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Looking for a sure-fire way toignite a heated political discus-sion? Say the words AffordableCare Act, health care reform orObamacare. The changes to thehealth care system set in motionby the 2010 Patient Protectionand Affordable Care Act, havesparked some of the most heated

political debatesthis century.

And whilehealthy politicalrhetoric is partof what makesthis countrygreat, the debatehas, for the mostpart, overshad-owed the sub-stance of thelaw. So, Id askthat you set yourpolitical feelings

aside as you read these next fewparagraphs as a consumer, some-one who uses the health caresystem from time to time.

First, most people who al-ready have health insurancecoverage, either from a planoffered by an employer, Medi-care or Medicaid, will not see awhole lot change. You may get anotice from your employer in-forming you of your right tocoverage. Your plans may haveopen enrollment, similar to howthey do each fall.

But, if you are one of the al-most 15 percent of Kentuckianswho dont have coverage, youllhave new options. The main onebeing that youll be able to pur-chase insurance through whatscalled a health care exchange.

Basically, an exchange is amarketplace. Insurers offertheir plans and you go, eitheronline or by phone, and selectthe plan thats best for yourneeds and budget. It does get abit muddy here: Some states,including Kentucky, have decid-ed to run their own insuranceexchanges. Others, includingOhio and Indiana, will have their

residents purchase insurance onthe federal exchange.

Kentuckys exchange is calledkynect. You can find it online athttp://www.kynect.comor bycalling 1-855-4KYNECT.

Enrolling in an insuranceplan, particularly if youre notused to it, can be confusing. For-tunately, you can access helpfrom insurance brokers andnavigators. Details on who canperform each function are stillshaping up.

If you choose to use the pro-fessionals help or enroll on yourown, youll need to gather someinformation in advance. Health-care.gov recommends that you:

Learn the basics about dif-ferent types of plans, such ashealth maintenance organiza-tions, preferred provider organi-zations and catastrophic plans.

Make a list of questions thatyou have.

Gather paperwork that canprove your income and identi-tythis includes your SocialSecurity Number, pay stubs, etc.

Gather paperwork aboutyour current insurance cov-erage, including details on howmuch you currently pay in pre-miums; howmuch your employ-er contributes and coverageavailable to you.

Determine your budget.What can you afford to spend onhealth care?

The wheels of change in thehealth care industry are in mo-tion. We know that a number ofNorthern Kentuckians lackhealth insurance coverage, andwill benefit from the new optionsoffered because of the Afford-able Care Act. October 1 is ap-proaching quickly. Please takesome time to learn how healthcare reform will impact yourfamily.

Lynne M. Saddler is the district direc-tor of health for the Northern KentuckyHealth Department.

CIVIC INVOLVEMENT

For over a year, I haveread tragically similar sto-ries about families and

friends los-ing lovedones to her-oin addic-tions, over-doses, anddeaths.While Ken-tucky hasmade stridesin reducingillegal pre-scriptiondrugs, drug

abuse remains a scourge thatfractures families and hurtsour economic health, safety,and quality of life. Police citeheroin as a major contrib-utor to the increase in bur-glaries, theft and prostitu-tion. The heroin tsunami hasswept over the NorthernKentucky community andinundated our health deliv-ery services as it continueson to flood the rest of the

state.In the 2013 Session, I

sponsored Senate Bill 6 thatmade clear that an overdosedeath from a Schedule I drugsuch as heroin is a foresee-able event. Schedule I drugsare highly addictive andhave no legitimate medicaluse. SB 6 stated that theillegal trafficking of thesetypes of drugs is sufficientto support a charge of crimi-nal homicide in an overdosedeath. In addition, the billdirected coroners to reportheroin deaths to, amongothers, commonwealth at-torneys so that they maymore effectively prosecutethese cases. Unfortunately,the bill was killed in theHouse.

Its inexcusable that theentire state could have be-gun to benefit from thesecommon-sense penalties onheroin distribution. Fortu-nately, some, like FayetteCounty, have already started

to implement many of thebills recommendations. TheU.S. Attorney from the East-ern District is also employ-ing the same tough measuresas SB 6.

I will be filing similarlegislation in 2014. We arealso considering allowingfirst-responders to adminis-ter Narcan, a drug that canimmediately counter theeffects of an overdose. Inaddition, we need to use themodel of Louisvilles TheHealing Place as an efficientand effective way to treataddicts. Combating heroinabuse requires a three-pronged approach: interdic-tion, education, and treat-ment. Working together, wecan make a difference.

REUNIONS

Wewere in Pennsylva-nia this past weekend forthe Mother Earth NewsFair, where I was a pre-senter. My topic wasBible herbs and foods forvibrant health and lon-gevity, and it was a wellreceived presentationwith lots of interaction

with thepartici-pants.

I hadseveraldifferentkinds ofonions onhand totalk aboutsince on-ions arementioned

in the Book of Numbersand one of the mosthealthful veggies. Onelady mentioned that on-ions planted next to cab-bage make good gardencompanions, keepingboth healthy. Then anoth-er person spoke up aboutpotatoes.

Plant them next tocorn and theyll both dogreat, he said. Strangelyenough, thats how weplanted our onions thisyear, not having a cluethey were good for eachother. Maybe thats whythe onions we dug up forthis German potato saladwere so tasty. And nextyear well plant the pota-toes next to the corn.

Oktoberfest Germanpotato salad

This is as close as Ican get to the recipe ofmy Germanmother-in-law, Clara. Easy andreally good. I used redpotatoes for this recipe.If you use baking pota-toes, which contain morestarch, they will soak upmore of the dressing.

8 slices bacon (I used thicksliced), cut into littlepieces then sauteed (savedrippings)

1 heaping cup choppedonion

1-2 ribs celery, chopped (iftheyre real long, use one,more can be added if youlike)

2 tablespoons flour23 cup cider vinegar or totaste

1 cup water

13 cup sugar or to tasteSalt and pepperAbout 8 cups sliced cookedpotatoes (cook, then sliceinto 14-inch pieces)

Cook onion and celeryin about 4 tablespoonsbacon drippings untiltender, but dont let onionbrown. Celery may stillbe crisp. Sprinkle flourover and blend. Mixturemay be a bit lumpy. Addvinegar and water andcook, stirring until bub-bly and slightly thick.Stir in sugar, cook about5 minutes or so. Stir inpotatoes and bacon, heatthrough, stirring to coatpotatoes. Season. Servewarm or room temper-ature. May be made acouple days ahead.

Slaw stuffedpeppers

For the Eastern HillsJournal and Price HillPress readers who re-membered buying theseat local delis. This recipeis over 30 years old andis from a Farm Journalcookbook, so it should beauthentic. You can cut itin half. And does any-body besides me remem-ber calling bell peppersmangoes?!

12 whole green bell peppers4 quarts water14 cup salt2 medium heads cabbage,finely shredded

14 cup salt4 oz. pimentos, diced514 cups sugar6 cups water6 cups cider vinegar112 teaspoons whole cloves5 sticks cinnamon112 tablespoons wholeallspice

112 teaspoons salt

Slice tops off peppersand remove seeds. Soakovernight in solution of 4quarts water and 14 cupsalt. Drain. Combinecabbage and 14 cup saltand let stand overnight.Drain well. Mix pimentosand cabbage. Fill pep-pers. Tie tops on withthread. Put in 8-quartcrock. Combine sugar,water, vinegar and spicesin big pan. Bring to a boiland cook 10 minutes.Pour hot solution overpeppers and weigh them

down. Marinate at least 1week at room temper-ature. To serve, cut pep-pers in quarters.

Readers want toknow

Fluffy meringue: If alittle bit of egg yolk getsinto my whites when Imake meringue, and if Iremove it, will the whitesstill whip up?

This is a tricky one. Iftheres just a teeny bit ofyolk and you can get it allout, the whites seem tobeat up fine. But I wouldonly do that if I had noother eggs. And it maynot work in all recipes.Egg whites must be com-pletely fat-free to whip

properly. And the bowlyou whip them in shouldbe, too. When in doubt,wipe out the bowl with abit of vinegar to removeany traces of fat, rinse

and dry. Youll get bettervolume with room tem-perature whites.

FORT MITCHELL Mareka Miller of Alex-andria wants everyoneto get in on the bigfight.

No boxing gloves orreferees are required.The battleground isNorthern Kentucky. Theenemy is cancer.

If we find the curefor one, then that willlead to the cure for allcancers, she said.

Thats what the Ameri-can Cancer Society isabout the big fightagainst all cancers.

Miller, who has been avolunteer with theAmerican Cancer Soci-ety of Northern Ken-tucky for six years, saideveryoneshould take theopportunity to stop bythe Fort Mitchell officeto learn about volunteeropportunities.

The society will hostan informational openhouse 5-8 p.m. Wednes-day, Oct. 9, at 297Butter-milk Pike. Those inter-ested involunteeroppor-tunities, including pa-tient support and RelayFor Life, can visit any-time during those hours.

The societys Mid-

South Division commu-nity representative KilaHanrahan said volun-teers will be on hand toanswer questions.

We are a volunteer-driven organization,Hanrahan said. Ourvol-unteers are the heart ofwhat we do, we couldntaccomplish anythingwithout them.

According to Hanra-han theres an opportuni-ty for everyone to helpout.

We even have chil-dren on the Relay ForLife committees whohelp plan activities forkids, shesaid. Weoffergreat ways for entirefamilies to get in-volved.

Ron Beard of Wilderstarted volunteering sixmonthsago justbecause.

I wanted somethingto do, the retired Co-vington Catholic HighSchool substitute teach-er and football coachsaid. I do it for selfishreasons. Its my way ofgiving back, but its alsomywayofkeepinganoldman busy.

He coordinators Roadto Recovery, a programthat organizes volun-teers who can providetransportation to andfrom appointments forcancer patients.

This is a big need,Beard said Just today(Sept. 26) we coordinat-

ed 30 rides.That was just enough

tomeet the need, he said.There have been times,however, the need can-not be met, like when 84rides were needed, butonly 67 volunteers wereavailable.

There are growingneeds (in Northern Ken-tucky), Hanrahan said.This outreach to volun-teers is a good way forpeople to ... see our of-fice and what they cando. A lot of people dontrealize theres a local of-fice; were here in theirown back yard.

According to bothBeard and Miller, volun-teering with the societyis very rewarding.

The feeling you getinside when someonesays, Thanks, meanseverything to me,Beard said. It makesyou feel good.

Miller, who becameinvolved in honor of heruncle andnowher fatherwho both had cancer,agreed.

The most rewardingthing is to have peopletell you how muchyouve touched theirlives, she said. Volun-teering lets them knowthey are not alone, theyare not in the fight bythemselves.
