recognition because ofher focus on technologyand literacy. She hastaught at Boone CountyHigh School her entire ca-reer.

“I’m honored to repre-sent our nation’s schoolsas anEveryDayHero andto be recognized for doingsomething that I trulylove, which is helping stu-dents learn through tech-nology,” Shearer said.“Technology ensures ourstudents have unlimitedaccess to information.While this is exciting, it’salso overwhelming. Theymust be able to sortthrough all this informa-tionandseparate thecred-ible from the unreliable.”

In her Boone Countyclassroom students blog,create digital stories, useSkype with English class-es from across the coun-try, and usemany interac-tive websites. She also in-corporates the use of stu-dents’ cell phones intolessons.

“To be successful in to-day’s workplace, studentshave to have importanttechnology skills,” shesaid. “Theyhave all the in-formation they could pos-sibly want at their finger-tips, but they also need toknowhow to locate, evalu-ate and share that infor-mation using technology.”

Shearer said the highschool has embraced theidea that teachers shouldnot fight student cellphone use.

“We think it is muchbetter tousecellphones toengage students, and thisphilosophy really cameaboutwith our adoption ofthe Common Core Stan-

dards these past twoyears,” she said. “TheCommon Core Standardsemphasize technologyuse, and a cell phone is theone piece of technologymost of our students have.It is also the one piece oftechnology most teachershave, so rather than hav-ing to rely on training,teachers are already com-fortableexploringnewap-plications.”

Students use cellphones for basic researchneeds like dictionaries,thesauri and databases.Teachers also use cellphones to assess studentunderstanding, and topro-mote class discussions, byhaving students text-intheir responses to variousonline polls and surveys.

In addition, the faculty

use resources such as Re-mind 101, which allowsteachers to communicatewith parents and studentsthrough one-way text re-minders.

InhonorofShearerandeducators, Dollar Generalis making a $10,000 dona-tion to the high schoolthrough its LiteracyFoun-dation.

Shearer said the schoolwill use the money to pro-mote literacy by provid-ing more technology andtexts to students.

When she’s not atschool, Shearer isawife toher high school sweet-heart, Jason Shearer, andmother to their children,Mila, 9, and Stella, 8.

The Gunpowder CreekWatershed encompassesapproximately 58 squaremiles, is about 25 percentof Boone County’s landarea and is home to about50 percent of the county’spopulation.

A watershed is an areaof land where runoffflows to a commonstream. When creekscome together, the twocreeks’ watersheds com-bine to make a larger wa-tershed.

According to informa-tion provided at themeet-ing, small creeks likeFowlers Fork and RiddlesRun flow into GunpowderCreek, which eventuallyflows into the Ohio Riverand is therefore part ofthe Ohio River Water-shed.

Over the past threeyears, the initiative, withthe cooperation of land-owners, has been collect-ing physical, chemicaland biological datathroughout the water-shed. An analysis of thatdata indicates specificproblems and the sources

of those problems.According to Jacobs,

information gathered atthe roundtable sessionswill be compiled and in-cluded in the watershedplan, which should be de-veloped by next June.

Jacobs said they wantto hear from the commu-nity what the issues areand “that’s how we’ll de-cide what the plan is.”

Jim and Pam Robinsonlive near the church,where the meeting washeld, on Gunpowder Roadin Florence.

“We want to see what’sgoing on,” Jim Robinsonsaid.

His wife is concernedabout flooding that occurswhen it rains.

According to Jim Rob-inson, the couple livedhereabout15yearsbeforethey saw the creek comelevel to its banks. Sincethen, however, he sayswater has been up overthe road several times.

Following a presenta-tion by Jacobs, those in at-tendance split into groupswhere they worked to-gether to answer ques-tions like why a healthystream is important, whatlanduses in thewatershedare they most concerned

about,what themost com-mon problems are, whatbest management prac-tices are feasible andwhat issues in the creekthey consider a priority.

After the discussion,Jacobs said it’s “nice tosee” the concerns of thecommunity correlatewith the findings fromthepast two years.

It’s “extremely impor-tant,” he said, to havecommunity involvement.

“Because if you spendall this time and moneydeveloping a plan and thecommunity is not inter-ested or you haven’t in-formed them of whatyou’re doing ... thenyou’re probably not goingto get much of it imple-mented,” he said. “Thecommunity, it’s every-thing.”

Two additional round-table meetings areplanned:

» 6:30-8:30 p.m.Wednesday, Sept. 18, atthe Union Fire Station,9611U.S. 42, Union.

» 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tues-day, Sept. 24, at YMCACamp Ernst, 7615 CampErnst Road, Burlington.

BIG BONE — Run andbike – and run again – tohelp Boone County’s onlystate historic site.

Friends of Big Bonehosts itseighthannualBigBone Lick Duathlon Sat-urday, Sept. 21.

Registration begins at6:30 a.m. at the main shel-ter of Big Bone Lick StateHistoric Site.

It’s the only regularfundraiser the Friendsgroup hosts each year,member Pat Lense said.

While registrations arecurrently down, Lensesaid organizers are stillexpecting between 100and 120 racers.

“It’s a very demandingrace, so we’ve got a lot ofregularparticipants thereevery year,” he said. “Forthem it’s a thrill to be ableto complete it.”

Participants will run inthe park for about threemiles before biking

through the hills of BooneCounty, after which com-petitors will finish therace by running about an-other threemiles, Friendspresident Pat Fox said.

According to Lense,most duathlons feature a“regular run” but this runis cross country and run-ners have to “deal withroots and trails and treesand everything else.”

“The cross countryfeature of this is very dif-ferent,” Fox said. “I usedto coach cross country. Itcalls for a different typeof run than if you were onpavement,” she said.

Running the racethrough Big Bone alsohelps save an endangeredspecies.

Lense says the park isone of the few places withrunning buffalo clover,which “thrives by beingtrampled on.” The plantwill be in one section rac-ers will run through,whichhesayswillhelpen-hance and preserve the

clover.Proceeds from race go

directly back to the parkin some form.

According to Fox, thegroup currently aims torevitalize the park’s visi-tors center, a process thatwould include updatingthe content of the glasscases and “making surethey followmore of a timeline approach and explainto visitors why the park issignificant.”

Cost for the full duath-lon is $65 while the BigBone Lick training race,which is just one run andthe bicycle portion, is $60.

Teams of two, whereone person does both runsand the other does thebike portion, can registerfor $110.

Registrations can becompleted online atbigbonelickrace.com orthe day of the race.

BURLINGTON — Motor-ists traveling dailythrough a busy BooneCounty intersection willnotice road work on ama-jor roadproject continuesto move forward.

Transportation offi-cials sayworkon the$22.4millionproject,whichwillreconstruct a 1.35-milesection of Camp ErnstRoad (Ky. 237) from Rog-ers Lane to Ky. 18, is “pro-gressing very well.”

Aspreviously reportedby the Recorder, planscall for Ky. 237 to be“bridged over” Ky. 18where a single point ur-ban interchange, or SPUI,will be installed. Trafficon Ky. 18 will then be freeflowing.

A SPUI is an inter-changewhere the arterialand ramp entrances andexits are controlled by asingle traffic signal.

According to Ken-tucky TransportationCabinet District 6 spokes-womanNancyWood, traf-fic on Ky. 237 (CampErnstRoad)will shift onto

a two-lane temporarypavement from RogersLane to Briargate DriveSept. 20.

Patrick Drive fromMcGrath Lane to the en-trance of Burlington’sFirstChurchofChristwillalso reopen around thisdate.

While Patrick Drivewill not be connected tothe existing Camp ErnstRoad for through-traffic,the road will, however, beused to detour trafficheading north on Ky. 237around Thanksgiving orChristmas in order to con-struct the ramps for thebridge, according toWood.

Theproject, shesaid, is“progressing very well.”

“Work is on track, andis still scheduled for com-pletion in June 2015,”Wood continued. Theschedule is, however, sub-ject to change.

A majority of worknow taking place is plac-ing fill on Ky. 237. Therewill also be grade workperformed from RogersLane to Briargate Drive.

According toWood, thebridge wall on the south

side of Ky. 18 is currentlyunder construction andshould take roughly oneand a half months to com-plete.

“When the wall is com-pleted, Central Bridgewill be back on the site tobegin construction of thebridge,” said Wood.

According to informa-tion previously providedby the KYTC, more than40,000cars travel throughthe Ky. 237 and Ky. 18 in-tersection each day.

Other planned im-provements will expandthe current two lanes tofive lanes with a centerturning lane and will addcurb, gutter and 10-footmulti-use paths on eachside of the new road.

This project is the sec-ond phase of work alongthe Ky. 237 corridor.

A January announce-mentsays thefirst sectionwas completed in Decem-ber 2012. That $9.2 mil-lion, 1.7-mile project im-proved the intersection atGunpowder/Pleasant Val-ley Road and U.S. 42 andrealigned and widenedPleasant Valley Road.

Work continues on a major road project at the intersection of Ky. 18 and Ky. 237 (CampErnst Road) in Burlington. STEPHANIE SALMONS/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

UNION — A new philosophyhas paid early-season divi-dends for Ryle High School’sgirls soccer team.

In head coach Dusty Mar-grave’s first season, the Raid-ers are attacking the net morethanever.Thenewfocusonof-fense has led to results: Rylestarted the season 5-2-1.

“In the past, we’ve alwaysbeen a defensive team, butwe’ve struggled to scoregoals,” said Margrave. “Wemade it a point this season tobemore aggressive offensive-ly.”

The defending District 33champions made changes inthe offseason, but nothingdrastic. Margrave sees noneed to mess too much withthe formula that has led to re-cent success for the Raiders.This year’s group is seeking toearn a fourth straight winningseason.

“We are really hopeful tohave much of the same suc-cess,” Margrave said.

Four senior captains leadthe way: Claire Kolkmeyer,Claire Manning, Jill Daven-

port, and Lauren Lawson. Ju-nior Lauren Duggins is also acaptain. The experienced re-turning starters are helpingtheir younger teammates de-velop. The more they play to-gether, the stronger the teamwill be.

“We have good senior lead-ers,” Margrave said. “We areworking on our chemistry. Weare learning how to trust oneanother.”

Goalkeeper Emily Hayeshas posted four shutoutsthroughSept.15.The juniordi-rects traffic from in front ofthe net and has been instru-mental in keying the Raiders’fast start.

“She is real vocal and givesour defense great instruc-tions,” Margrave said.

Playing varsity soccershould be fun. Scoring is fun.Winning is fun. Making a deeppostseason runwill be fun, too.That’s the motto for the Raid-ers this year.

“Our whole goal is, ‘Let’sjust have fun,’” Margravesaid. “I think the girls are real-ly enjoying playing rightnow.”

UNION — There is plenty oftime left for Cooper HighSchool to recapture the magicof 2012.

Fueled by an imposing de-fense, the Jaguars have shownflashes of excellence so far thisseason. As several new starterslearn to play together, and sev-eral returning starters adapt tonew positions, the Jaguars (2-2)expect toplaytheirbest footballonce district play begins.

In each of Cooper’s twolosses, their opponent hasscored just 17 points. The nar-row losses came as a result ofunfinished drives, untimelyturnovers, and costly self-in-flicted errors.

“Our defense is playing pret-ty well, but our offense is put-tingourdefense insomebadsit-uations,” head coach Randy

Borchers said. “We are inexpe-rienced at a lot of positions.We’re still making some sillymistakes.”

Senior linebacker AveryBrickingand senior safetyKyleHenderson are the team’s lead-ing tacklers. The defense hasbeen the team’s strength in theearly part of the season.

“There is no one player

standing out,” Borchers said.“The whole group is really fly-ing around out there as a team.”

The defense wants to makeplays and set up the Jaguars’green offense with favorablefield position. While staying ag-gressive, Cooper is more fo-cusedon limitingopponents’ ex-plosive plays. The Jaguars areokay with playing a bend-but-don’t-break defense.

“Ourgoal is tonotgiveup thebig play, and to force the otherteamtomakemistakes,”Borch-ers said.

Typically a ground-and-pound offense in the program’sfirst five seasons of existence,this year’s squad has beenforced to air it out more. WithconvertedtightendWillLudwigstarting at quarterback for thefirst time, and theoffensive linereplacing four starters from

SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 • FLORENCE-UNION RECORDER • A9SPORTS & RECREATION

FLORENCE — The mag-ic ended even earlier thisyear for the FlorenceFreedom. After advanc-ing to theFrontier Leaguechampionship series in2012, the Freedom ralliedto again qualify for thepostseason in 2013. Thisyear, the Freedom cameup empty in the playoffs.

Qualifying for theplayoffs in two straightseasons was a big accom-plishment for the fran-chise and shows that theprogram has establishedconsistency and stabilityundermanagerFranRior-dan.

“I think it was very im-portant for the Freedomto advance to the playoffsfor the second straightseason,” said Riordan.“Making the playoffs in a14-teamleague isverydif-

ficult and our players andcoaching staff reallywanted to prove to theleague that what we aredoingasanorganization iscalculated and hopefullysustainable for the fu-

ture.”Four Freedom players

earned All-Star recogni-tion and played in theFrontier League All-StarGame in in Washington,Pa. Inan interesting twist,

the man who was votedthe league’s Most Valu-able Player following theregular season did noteven join his four team-mates as an All-Star.Third baseman Jacob Ta-nis began the year in theOakland A’s organization.Once he was released bythe big league club, Rior-dan and the Freedomwel-comed him with openarms.

“I got great reportsfrompeople that I know inthe A’s organization andwe were looking to fill ahole at third base,” saidRiordan. “The fact that hestarted a little bit slowwas probably the reasonhe didn’t make the mid-season all-star team butwhathehasmeant tous asa player can’t be overstat-ed.”

Tanis joined the teamon May 8. He finished theseason with a league-high

72 runs batted in. He ledtheFreedomwith17homeruns. In a testament to thedepth of the Freedom’slineup, Tanis finishedsixth on the team in OPS.His play was impressiveenough to earn him theMorgan Burkhart Awardas the league’s most valu-able player, as voted onbythe league’s general man-agers, coaches, and localmedia in each team’smar-ket.

At the midpoint, theFreedom were on the out-side of the playoff picturelooking in. It was not untilthe penultimate game ofthe season, at homeagainst Windy City, thatthe Freedom clinchedtheir postseason berth.The 6-2win, in front of thehomecrowdatUniversityof Cincinnati MedicalCenter stadium, was theculmination of a secondhalf surge.

“We were very consis-tent the second half, espe-cially after July,” saidRiordan. “We struggled alittle bit coming out of thebreak but then we pickedupourplaywhenweneed-ed to most.”

The Freedom droppedtwo heartbreakers on theroad at Schaumburg toopen the postseason.Coming home down 0-2,the Freedom sufferedtheir toughest defeat ofthe season. After blowinga three-run ninth inninglead, the Freedom’s sea-son ended with a one-run,ten-inning loss.

With a second straightplayoff appearance, theleagueMVP, the first yearof a ten-year stadium li-censing deal, and an in-crease in home atten-dance, 2013 was anothersuccessful season for theFlorence Freedom fran-chise.

Magic ended early for Florence FreedomBy Adam [email protected]

last year’s team, the Jag-uars have been passingon roughly 55 percent oftheir plays. Bricking hasmoved from fullback tothe team’s featured run-ning back.

“Any time you havenew starters, you expectto take some lumps earlyin the season,” Borcherssaid. “We want to estab-lish our ground game.Our philosophy has

changed because wewere struggling with ourrunning game.”

Senior Jacob Neu-mann and his offensivelinemates will be the keyto the team’s success go-ing forward. Neumann isthe only returning start-er up front, where hemoved from guard totackle. Four new start-ers, including two sopho-mores, are still gettingtheir feet wet at the var-sity level.

A10 • FLORENCE RECORDER • SEPTEMBER 19, 2013

This letter is a shout out tothe administrators, teachers,students and parents of BooneCounty Schools. On Aug. 22, atax hearing was held at theBoone County Board of Educa-tion office. More than 250people showed up to expresstheir support in favor of a 4percent increase in propertytaxes to fund the schools ofBoone County. This was trulyhistoric.

I have spent over 17 yearsas a school board member and

have served aspresident ofthe KentuckySchool BoardsAssociation aswell as theNationalSchool BoardsAssociation. Inall of my yearsI have notwitnessed thistype of sup-port in a com-

munity on behalf of their localpublic schools. It is a testa-ment to the commitment toeducation in our county.

As I stated at the meeting, Iam proud to be a resident andcitizen of Boone County. Likeothers, I am not in favor ofhigher taxes. Notwithstanding,the unfunded mandates of thefederal government and theunfunded mandates of ourstate legislature have left us ina precarious position. In orderto provide the support for ourstaff and our students, it be-came necessary for us to takeadvantage of this option. Thatis, we took a 4-percent in-crease as it relates to propertytaxes. This is not a 4-percentoverall increase, but equatesessentially to 7 cents per dayfor a taxpayer in Boone Coun-ty in support of public schools.

While this may seem like asmall amount, it equates toover $2.6 million for BooneCounty schools. While thisdoes not offset the wide fund-ing gap that has been createdby the actions of Congress andour state legislatures, it is areflection of the communitycommitment to a high-leveleducation for all students with-in our community.

I want to thank the BooneCounty Education Associationand all of the parents whoshowed up to express theirsupport. As districts through-out the state, including BooneCounty, have struggled tomaintain funding for neces-sary educational programs,Boone County has neverlacked for community support.While our funding issues arefar from over, this will help aswe continue to invest in ourstudents.

As I stated in the meeting,public education is not failing,but many of our elected lead-ers of Congress and state leg-islatures across the countryare failing public education.We must continue to stand upfor our students. After all,education is the future ofAmerica’s tomorrow. Thankyou to all who showed theirsupport.

No need for rudenessWhat’s going on in our Bur-

lington driver’s license office?My 16-year-old granddaughterarrived Monday, Sept. 10 at ap-proximately 3:20-3:30 p.m. toget her driver’s permit. Thegentleman in charge was veryrude and disrespectful to her.

I realize hemeets teenagerswho are disrespectful, but notin her case. She asked a ques-tion and he snapped at her, and

others in the room heard it.This girl is a missionary. Shejust got back from Africa,where sheministered for threeweeks. She carries an A aver-age in school.

Of course, he would neverapologize. But (his) behaviordeeply hurt a little girl. (He) isthe first one, but at least nowshe knows there are rude peo-ple in public office.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Part ofmy day job involvesnegotiating employeewagesand insurance in union bar-gaining. Over the last twoyears, my experiences are atoddswith Affordable Care Actpromises. Youmight call expe-riences like this anecdotal. Icall them health care in thereal world.

Promise: “If you like yourhealth care plan, you’ll be ableto keep your health care plan,period.” President BarackObama, June15, 2009.

Reality: AGreater Cincin-nati employer adopted a low-cost insurance plan proposedby its union. In 2012 the insur-ance carrier declined to renewthe plan. No comparable re-placement planwas availableon themarket. Obamacareoutlawed the plan. The em-ployeeswere not able to keeptheir plan and lost their cov-erage, with no replacementplan.

Promise: “If your employ-er’s providing you good healthinsurance, terrific.We’re notgoing tomesswith it.” Presi-dent BarackObama, June15,2009.

Reality: In2013, a Great-er Cincinnatiemployeroffered anaffordablehealth careplanwith goodcoverage to itsunion employ-ees. The unionrejected theplan and told

the employer that it wantedhigherwage increases insteadof health insurance.Why?Under Obamacare, if the em-ployer offered health insur-ance, the employees could notgo to the government run ex-change, where they hope toreceive free government sub-sidies.Whenwe pay employ-ees to reject coverage, wemesswith employer insur-ance.

Promise: “This lawwill cutcosts andmake coveragemoreaffordable for families andsmall businesses.” PresidentBarackObama, June 22, 2010.

Reality: An agent and insur-ance carrier recently repre-sented to a small Greater Cin-

cinnati employer that if it wait-ed to renew health insurancein 2014, if Obamacare becomesfully effective, its premiumswould rise 66.8 percent. Thiswould happen evenwithoutnew catastrophic illnesses intheworkforce. Employer cov-erage does not seemmoreaffordable.

The foundational promisesof the law are inaccurate. Sure-ly thosewho understood thelaw could have foreseen this. Ifwe don’t have flexibility withhealth plan design, wewon’t beable to keepwhat we have orreplacewhat we lose. If weincentivize people to leaveemployer plans, we’ll have lessemployer coverage. And if weload plans upwith new costs,theywon’t bemore affordable.

As a parent, I rememberwhen our children first told thetruth, realized that the truthwas getting them in trouble,and then changed their story.Frankly, when they did that Ifound it amusing. Their first,quick responsewas usuallycloser to the unvarnishedtruth. Let’s look at anotherfirst response – unvarnished

truth – this one from the soonto be leader of the freeworld.

Truth: “If I were designing asystem from scratch I wouldprobably set up a single-payer(completely government run)system ... Over time itmay bethat we end up transitioning tosuch a system ... I don’t want towait for that perfect system.”Candidate BarackObama,CampaignWebsite, 2008.

Unlike an adorable child’scandid admission, this one’snot so amusing, at least not tome. But at least it makes clearthe desire from some folks inpower tomove us towards agovernment run system.Somedaywewill be able toundo the incorrect thingswe’ve done.We should then cutright to the chase and debate agovernment run system. Letthe chips fall where theymay.

Next time, let’smake surethe debate is about health carein the real world.

A Shelbyvillemother ofthree felt so hopeless afterbecoming addicted to pre-scription painkillers that shenearly took her own life. AnAshland father did everythingin his power to free his sonfrom the grips of prescriptiondrugs, and a senior at UnionCountyHighwatched help-lessly as pills transformed hischildhood friend.

These are a few of the sto-ries featured in our Faces ofPrescription Drug Abusevideo series. Mothers, fathers,sons and daughters share theirstories of how prescriptiondrug abuse has affected theirlives. The videos depict storiesof courage, strength and hopein the face of a scourge thathas destroyed far toomanyKentucky families.

One in three Kentuckianshas a friend or familymemberwho has experienced prob-lems as a result of abusingprescription pain relievers,according to the 2012 Ken-tuckyHealth Issues Poll(KHIP). I launched this videoseries earlier this year to letfamilies know they are notalone and there is hope for abrighter future.

If you have been impactedin someway by prescription

drug abuse, Iinvite you toshare yourstory. Videosmay be sub-mitted as a“video re-sponse” to anyof our Facesof Prescrip-tion DrugAbuse clips.More detailed

instructions on how to create a“video response” are availableat http://goo.gl/VzKp2.

The Faces of PrescriptionDrug Abuse video series ispart of the KeepKentuckyKids Safe awareness and edu-cation program I launched in2010 with the Kentucky Officeof Drug Control Policy, Nation-al Association of DrugDi-version Investigators (NAD-DI), Operation UNITE, Ken-tucky Pharmacists Associa-tion and concerned parents. Todate, we’ve alertedmore than20,000 students across Ken-tucky to the dangers of abus-ing prescription pills. To re-quest a program at a school inyour community, email [email protected].

I have taken to heart themany stories students havesharedwithme after attend-

ing one of our programs. I willnever forget the young girl atGeorge Rogers ClarkHighwho sharedwithme that she isbeing raised by relatives be-cause her parents are bothaddicted to prescription pain-killers and are incapable ofcaring for her. This youngwoman has chosen a differentpath for herself.

There was also the studentin Boyd County whose fatherand sister were both arrestedfor trafficking in prescriptionpills. In Perry County, a fifthgrader choked up as he talkedabout a pill addict who at-tacked hismother. Sittingnearby, was another fifthgrader who had just lost herfather to a prescription drugoverdose.

Through increased aware-ness, creation of Kentucky’sfirst and only statewide Pre-scription DrugDiversion TaskForce and implementation oflandmark prescription druglegislation, we aremakinggreat strides in our fightagainst prescription drugabuse.

Overdose deaths in Ken-tucky declined in 2012 for thefirst time in a decade. Pre-scriptions for themost highlyabused painkillers, such as

hydrocodone, oxycodone andalprazolam (Xanax) have de-creased significantly for thefirst time in a decade, and halfof the state’s painmanage-ment clinics have closed theirdoors. Also encouraging is areport earlier this year fromthe Substance Abuse andMen-tal Health Services Admini-stration (SAMHSA) that showsa decline in the non-medicaluse of prescription pain reliev-ers among all age groups inthe Commonwealth. For thefirst time, Kentucky is belowthe national average for pre-scription drug abuse.

While this is welcome news,we are also seeing an alarmingincrease in heroin relateddeaths-up 550 percent from2011.My office is currentlyworkingwith state lawmakerson legislation to try and stopthis alarming trend.We arealso workingwith the gover-nor and first lady to expandtreatment in Kentucky. Beassured, wewill remain vigi-lant in our fight against pre-scription drug abuse.

PETERSBURG — There was apoint inthecommunity’sstoriedpast that the once-booming riv-er town was the biggest inBoone County.

Today, however, there’s notmuch in Petersburg beyond asleepy downtown, the windingroads that lead there, a stellarview of the Ohio River and alonghistorywhose talesarestillbeing discovered.

In 1853, when this particularstory begins, land just beyondthe current boundaries of Pe-tersburg Cemetery was farmland.

According to Boone CountyPublic Library’s local historycoordinator Bridget Striker, itwas on the rainy night ofApril 2that 28 slaves,many believed tobeownedbytheParkerandTer-rill families owners of propertyin the vicinity, fled.

The group left Petersburgand crossed into Indiana withthe help of John Fairfield, awhitemanwhohelpedslaveses-cape for a price.

Striker said she believes thegroup followed a ridge, visibletoday from the PetersburgCemetery, that bisects the bendin the Ohio River where Peters-burg is nestled, and traveledpast whereKy. 20 now stands toTaylor’s Creek before crossingthe river on three skiffs.

Their plight is dramatized inaplaythatwillbepresenteddur-inganupcomingabolitionist liv-ing history tour in College Hill,North College Hill and MountHealthy, Ohio, “Hamilton Ave-nue Road to Freedom,” from 11

a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21.This event is part of College

Hill’s year-long bicentennialcelebration.

Documentation is hardto find

Striker said she was contact-edby theCollegeHillHistoricalSociety and asked what sheknew about the escape “and Iwent ‘um, what?’”

“Apparently there was onereference in one of our refer-ence books to the escape but it’sprettymuch buried.”

According to the “Encyclo-pedia of Northern Kentucky,”Boone County, with nearly 40miles of shoreline, creeks, for-

ests and large plantations dot-ting the Ohio River, provednearly impossible to patrolagainst runaway slaves.

“Written histories of BooneCounty contain little evidenceof an active UGRR (under-ground railroad),” the bookreads. “Records from Indiana,OhioandMichigan,however,re-veal a substantial amount ofUGRRactivity inBooneCountyfrom1838 to1861.

“In fact, so many runawayslaves were handled in andthrough Boone County thatagents of the American Anti-Slavery League were placed asferrymen, fishermen, peddlersand couriers.”

Lawrenceburg, Ind., Strikersaid, was a “very active point”on the Underground Railroad.To get there, “you have to gothrough Boone County.”

That’s how she initially sus-pected the county “had stuff go-ing on.”

“But again, there’s no docu-mentation just ... little threadsyou have to start pulling.”

Canadian destinationAccording to Striker, news-

paper accounts talk ofWashing-ton Parker, a slave of HarveyParker, inciting other slaves be-causehe could read and suppos-edly read Harriet BeecherStowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin to

others.“This was the beginning of

the escape,” she said. “The 28slaves ended up in Canada. Ittook about three weeks to getthem there, but they startedhere.”

John Fairfield was hired tocome to the community. The ru-mor, Striker said, was that heposed as a poultry salesman.

“And Petersburg was a goodplace for it because thiswas thebiggest townin thecountyat thetime,” she said. “It was easy tocomeandgo. Itwasassumedbe-cause he was doing business inKentucky that he was pro-slav-ery, he probably gave the im-pression he was pro-slavery,(but)he thenfoundawaytocon-tact the slaves and managed toorganize a group.”

According to Striker, well-known abolitionist Levi Coffinsaid there were 28 slaves, butit’s thought some of those num-bersmay be inflated because ofpropaganda on both sides of theissue.

By looking at tax records,however, Striker said they canverify there were at least 10Parker and Terrill slaves “nolonger on the book” between1853 and1854, so they’re able toconfirmthere’sa total ofat least18 or 19 men, women and chil-drenwho likely escaped.

While one skiff sank whilecrossing the river, the entiregroup managed to still getacross, Striker said.

They hid just outside of Cin-cinnati and someone, presum-ablyFairfield,went into thecityfor help to move the groupthroughOhio, intoMichiganandthen into Canada, said Striker.

‘ESCAPE OF THE 28’Play highlights slavejourney in 1853By Stephanie [email protected]

UNION — There’s more to amarching band than half-timeperformances during the highschool football season.

Sure there’s competition, butthere’s also practice.With prac-tice comes hard work and dedi-cation.

Longbefore the first footballgame of the season, membersthe Ryle High School MarchingRaiders, for example, have leftthe comfort of a relaxing sum-mer. In the middle of July, 12-hour band camp days preparethe band for the season. TheRyle Marching Band is notalone in their quest. Bandmem-bers across the country arelearning the fundamentals ofmarching.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, theRyleMarchingBand invites thepublic to celebrate this hardwork at the Ryle High SchoolTournament of Bands.

“This is a great opportunityfor spectators to be entertainedby six of the finest high schoolmarching bands in Kentuckyand Ohio,” Robert Elliott, Ryledirector of bands said. “Theseoutstandingbandprograms, ledby outstanding music educa-tors, have been working dili-gently since early July on their2013 competition programs.”

The tournament, sponsoredby Kona Ice, is sanctioned bythe KentuckyMusic Educator’s

Association(KMEA).Thebandsparticipating represent 72 ap-pearances in KMEA StateChampionship Finals.

Participating bands includeBeechwood High School, Grant

County High School, TatesCreek High School from Lex-ington, Madison Central HighSchool from Richmond, La-fayette High School from Lex-ington, andMilford (Ohio)HighSchool.

The marching band prelimi-nary competition begins at 3p.m. and the finals at 7:45 p.m.Tickets, soldat thegate,cost$10for adults, $5 for students andseniors, and are free for chil-dren five and under.

All funds raised from theRyle Tournament will be usedfor the school’smusiceducationprogram including the pur-chase of instruments, uniformsavings, and guest professionalclinicians. Monies will also beused to start an artist in resi-denceprogramforprofessionalmusicians from the GreaterCincinnati region to work withstudentmusicians.

According to the Journal of

Research in Music Education,students in high-quality schoolmusic programs score higheron standardized tests comparedto students in schools with defi-cient music education pro-grams, regardless of the socio-economic level of the school orschool district.

On the 2012 SAT, studentswho participated in musicscored an average of 31 pointsabove average in reading, 23points above average in math,and 31 points above average inwriting.

“Schools who invest their re-source throughoutall the schoolgrades by providingmusic edu-cation programs are making aninvestment into the quality oftheirhighschoolgraduates,”El-liott said. “A national researchstudy showed that schools thathave music programs have sig-nificantly higher graduationrates than do those without mu-

sic programs; 90.2 percent ascompared to 72.9 percent.”

Ryle High School BandBoosters president Terry Stick-els said, as a band parent, he un-derstands first hand the posi-tive impact that music educa-tion has on children. He hopesthose in the community willtake the time to experience thatpositive impact for themselvesby attending the tournament.

“Ifyouhaveneverattendedamarchingbandcompetitionyouwill be surprised by the excite-ment of the performances andthe level of respect that themarching band students showfor one another,” Stickels said.“The students have camarade-rie with the other schools and itis more of a sense of competingwith, rather than competingagainst mindset.”

For years it was like a grayculinary cloud over my head.I called it pie crust envy. Mymom was the first to try toteach me to make a flaky and

tender pie crust.“Just don’t over-work the dough,use a lighthand,” she toldme. At the timeI read some-thing in a cook-book that said“work the short-ening into theflour until it’sall the size of

small peas.” So I tried to dojust that. The crust rolled outeasily and I baked what Ithought was the most beauti-ful apple pie in the world.

I took it to our churchkitchen for bingo and I’ll nev-er forget the look on RuthHaglage’s face as she tried tocut into the crust. She sawedand sawed at that crust andfinally broke through. I wasso embarrassed. Ruth knew Iwas a novice pie baker andtold me not to worry, that thefilling was delicious and thecrust was OK.

After that disaster, everytime I made pie crust by handI was filled with anxiety. ThenI met Perrin Rountree. Perrinis an Anderson Townshipreader and excellent Southerncook and baker. She workedwith me at my cooking schoolat McAlpin’s. Perrin sharedher recipe for pie crust with asecret ingredient. That wasyears ago and the crust hasnever let me down. No morepie crust envy!

Perrin Rountree’s no-failpie crust

You’ll think you’re in cook-ing class with these detailedinstructions, but they areworth following.

2 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder (thesecret ingredient)

1⁄4 teaspoon salt1 cup Crisco shortening, chilled (Iuse Crisco sticks)

1⁄2 cup ice cold water

Whisk together dry ingre-dients. Cut shortening into1⁄2-inch pieces. Scatter overflour mixture and, using a

fork or pastry blender, cutshortening into flour untilmixture resembles coarsecrumbs with some largepieces remaining (about thesize of peas – yes, it willwork!). This is what will giveyou flakiness. Sprinkle halfthe cold water over and stirand draw flour with fork frombottom to top, distributingwater evenly. Add more water

until dough is moist enough tohold together when you roll alittle bit into a ball. I usuallyuse up all the water. Divide inhalf and shape into two balls.Flatten balls into round disks.I like to refrigerate doughanywhere from 30 minutes toovernight, but that’s not nec-essary. (You can also freezethe dough for a couple ofmonths, thawing in refriger-

ator before using). Roll out onlightly floured surface fromcenter out. I sprinkle a bit offlour on top of the dough so itdoesn’t stick to the rolling pin,or you can skip flour and rollit out between wax or parch-ment paper. Roll into a circleinches wider than pie plate.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenYes, you can use the food

processor, too. Just use thepulse button.

Rita’s pecan pieI use dark corn syrup.

Light corn syrup gives a“softer” flavor. Check out myblog for chocolate pecan pie.

Crust for one pie3 large eggs, beaten until foamy1 cup sugar2 tablespoons butter, melted1 cup corn syrup, dark or light11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla1 heaping cup pecans, halved orchopped

Preheat oven to 350 de-grees. Beat eggs, sugar, but-ter, syrup and vanilla wellwith whisk. Stir in nuts. Pourinto crust. Bake 45-55 minutesor until toothpick inserted incenter comes out fairly clean.Check after 45 minutes. Piewill be puffed and golden andjiggle a bit in the center butthat’s OK. Cool a couple ofhours before serving.

Question: My pin oaktree has some strangegrowths on the leavesand twigs. One type isround, one inch in diame-ter, and either tan incolor, or sometimes redand green like a speckledcherry tomato. The othergrowth is like a solid,small golf ball with smallholes and small spikescoming out of it. What isthe cause of thesestrange balls on my tree,and will they hurt thetree?

Answer: The strangegrowths on your oak treeare called galls. Galls areirregular plant growthsformed from plant tis-

sues, which arestimulated bythe reactionbetween planthormones andpowerfulgrowth-regulat-ing chemicalsproduced bysome insects ormites. Certaingalls may occuron leaves, bark,flowers, buds, acorns, orroots. Leaf and twig gallsare most noticeable.

The inhabitant (asmall insect) gains itsnutrients from the innergall tissue. Galls alsoprovide some protectionfrom natural enemies

and insecticidesprays. Importantdetails of the lifecycles of many gall-makers are notknown, so specificrecommendations totime control mea-sures most effec-tively are not avail-able. Generally,initiation of leafgalls occurs around

“bud break” or as newleaves begin to unfold inthe spring.

The tomato-like gallsyou describe are calledoak apple galls. Theseare large (1- to 2-inchdiameter) roundedgrowths that are filled

with a spongy mass. Asingle wasp larva is lo-cated in a hard seed-likecell in the center. Gallsare usually found on thepetioles or midribs ofleaves. They will eventu-ally dry to a brown, pa-per thin wall. Removingand destroying gallsbefore they dry and be-fore wasps emerge froma tiny hole may help toreduce the infestation.Leaf galls rarely affecttree health, so chemicalcontrol is rarely justi-fied.

The woody gall youdescribe as a spiny golfball is a more seriousproblem. It is called the

horned oak gall. A simi-lar gall without the hornsor spikes is called thegouty oak gall. Twig andstem galls, such as thegouty oak gall andhorned oak gall, are solid,woody masses that cangirdle branches (killingthem at the tips) or makethem droop from thesheer weight of the oftennumerous, heavygrowths. The galls cangrow to more than 2 inch-es in diameter.

One female wasp canemerge from each horn.Generally, insecticidalcontrol is not satisfactorybecause the wasps arephysically protected

within the galls. Correct-ly timing chemical appli-cations to provide effec-tive preventive control isdifficult. Where practi-cal, pruning and removalof infested twigs mayhelp to reduce the prob-lem on lightly-infestedtrees. However, pruningis impractical if largetrees are heavily infes-ted. A commercial arbor-ist may be able to pro-vide assistance withvaluable plantings.

Fall is approaching andKentucky sweet potatoesare in season. Two varietiesof sweet potatoes are com-monly grown in Kentucky.The pale sweet potato has alight yellow skin. Its paleyellow flesh is dry andcrumbly. The darker varie-ty has dark skin and orangesweet flesh that cooks upsmoist.

Choose sweet potatoeswith smooth, unbruisedskins. Store them un-wrapped in a cook, dry,dark place with good venti-lation. Do not store them inthe refrigerator. Scrubthem just prior to prepar-ing them for cooking.

To bake sweet potatoes,pierce the skin in severalplaces so they do not ex-plode from steam build upwhile cooking. Baked themuncovered in a 375 degree Foven for 45 to 60 minutes or

until they are softwhen squeezed. Ifmicrowaving,place the cleaned,pierced potato on apaper towel. Mi-crowave one pota-to on high for 4 to 5minutes.

Sweet potatoesmay be boiled intheir skin untiltender whenpierced. The skin is easilyremoved after beingcooked. Theymay also bepeeled and boiled. Mashedsweet potatoes are a versa-tile side dish.

Sweet potatoes are agood source of fiber, vita-min A and vitamin C. Theyare a colorful and healthfulside dish for many entrees.

Veronica Battaglia ful-filled her lifelong dreamby opening The BattagliaDeli with her husband,Nick, at 3020 WashingtonSt., across fromtheBooneCounty CourtHouse Sept.4.

She studied hotel man-agement and culinaryarts in her home countryof Ecuador, and in Spain,before moving to Ken-tucky.

“I camehereandhad tostart from zero and learnEnglish,” she said. “I en-joy cooking. I really loveit, andwhen you find yourpassion and what makesyou happy, and you haveto do something else, it’slike being in a jail. That’sthe reason I have beenvery persistent to do thisdeli.”

Battaglia said many ofher friends in SouthAmerica have sent mes-sages of support.

“Theycan’t believe I fi-nally did it,” she said.“Burlington is so cute. Itreally looks like the city isinvesting in historic Bur-lington. I can see touristicprogress here.”

The bistro is open forbreakfast, lunch and anearly dinner from 7:30a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondaysthrough Fridays and 11:30a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Satur-days and Sundays.

With only one indoortable and two sidewalk ta-bles,Battaglia servesa lotof carry-out and deliveryorders. Shealso takes spe-cial orders and caters forparties and specialevents. She is looking forkitchen help and deliverydrivers.

To order, call 859-322-8717.

The deli offers special-ty coffees, including Co-lombianandItalianbever-ages, aswell asmochacci-no, cappuccino andespresso, along withhomemade cookies, muf-fins, doughnuts, cakesand pastries, salads,soups and sandwiches.

In addition to a hum-mus and olive tapenadesandwich, salmon andcream cheese or chickenpesto, Battaglia also

makes a hot roast beefsandwich with horserad-ish mayonnaise and cara-melized onions.

She also makes “a realLatinoCubanosandwich,”French bread filled withmayonnaise, dijon mus-tard, smoked ham, roastpork, pickles and mozze-rella cheese.

“What’s special is Ipress it in the panninigrill,” she said.

Battaglia isworking onbuilding a website and aFacebook page for hernew business.

“Itwill come together,”she said. “I heard all my

life there’sabadeconomy.That can’t stop business.Youhave to take the risk.”

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 built

at Seventh Street andBroadway. The seven sto-ries of apartments are be-ing constructed on top ofthe city owned parkinggarage that was built in

2003.Future projects in-

cludeanewmixed-usede-velopment in Northsideby Hamilton and BlueRock LLC, with 100 newapartments and 8,000square feet of retailspace.
