Independence Mayor Chris Moriconi fieldedquestions ranging from a new commercial devel-opment in the city to trash/recycling pick-upAug. 19.

Moriconi visited the Independence SeniorCenter to speak about the state of the city at theseniors’ weekly luncheon.

“It’s a great city. I love it here and I’m proudto be a part of the growth in Independence,”Moriconi said.

One topic discussed was the 30,000-square-foot commercial building that may go next to AceHardware in the Independence Towne Center,which could solve the problem of getting a day-time workforce to help support city businesses,Moriconi said.

One-third of the building’s space has beenspoken for, Moriconi said, explaining he can’tgive more details until the city receives a letter ofintent.

Moriconi said that while there are doctors’offices in the city, there are no pediatricians,something he hopes changes if the commercialbuilding moves forward.

“Independence has so many families, and if abusiness needs families, this is the right buildingfor them,” he said.

Resident Bill Leslie agreed, saying the devel-

opment of the commercial building could be the“key to expansion.”

“I think it would be a benefit to the profession-al people in the city. It’s the right direction,” hesaid.

One resident, Geneva Gibson, brought up theissue of recycling pick-up, asking the mayorabout the possibility of installing recycling drop-offs throughout the city. Gibson expressed the

opinion that residents on fixed incomes may notbe able to pay $4 a month for recycling pick-up.

“I think more people would recycle if they did-n’t have to pay $10 a month already for regulargarbage. That’s almost $15 a month forgarbage,” she said.

Moriconi, who felt the price for recycling pick-up is reasonable, still agreed to ask Rumpkeabout recycling drop-offs.

Moriconi also told the seniors that a trafficlight at McCullum Pike and Ky-17 will be up inthe next couple of weeks, while work on side-walks between Simon Kenton High School andFrisch’s Big Boy are almost complete.

“The sidewalk will then be connected fromSummit View all the way to Kenton Elementary,”he said. “It’s great to see the kids off the streets.”

The Northern Kentucky Coop-erative Extensions don’t need 10reasons to offer a program encour-aging exercise. Just one will do.

“We want people to get up anddo something,” said Kathy Yelton,the Kenton County Extension’sFamily & Consumer SciencesAssistant.

“Too often we’ve engineeredactivity out of our lives. Now wevacuum carpets. How did yougrandmother clean them? Shehung them on a line and beatthem,” Yelton laughed.

To bring exercise and activityback to Northern Kentucky, theextensions will debut Challenge10-10-10, a challenge to localpeople to complete at least 10physical activities, each lasting30 minutes, between Sept. 1 andOct. 10.

Kenton, Boone, Campbell, Gal-latin, Pendleton, Carroll, Owenand Grant counties’ extensionsare offering the challenge.

Participants track the exercisesthey complete and turn in a formto be eligible to win prizes, includ-ing the grand prize, an overnightstay in a lodge room plus break-fast for two at General Butler StateResort Park in Carrollton, Ky.

All ages, sizes and exercise pref-erences are welcome, Yelton said.

“The first step is to get peopleactive and moving because they’llfeel better,” she said. “If you don’tmove it, you’ll lose it.”

Kenton County Extension Food& Consumer Science Agent KathyRoesel-Byrnes hopes 10 activitiesover six weeks will inspire peopleto keep it up beyond the chal-lenge.

“Even though exercise doesn’tsound fun, it could be something

you enjoy that makes you feelbetter,” she said, “And then you’llmiss it if you don’t do it.”

All types of exercise are wel-come, Roesel-Brynes said. Partici-pants can do 10 different activitiesor 10 of the same. Group or indi-vidual exercises are also permissi-ble for 10-10-10.

“It can be as simple as walk-ing,” she explained. “You don’thave to be an athlete.”

Participants have until MondayOct. 11 to turn in their 10-10-10forms. Forms can be mailed, e-mailed or dropped off at eachextension office.

Kenton officials approvedkeeping the county real estate taxstagnant at the regular meetingAug. 24.

Commissioners voted 3-1 totax residents 14.8 cents per $100

of assessed property, the samerate taxed in the 2009-2010 Fis-cal Year, a minimal increase fromthe 2008-2009 Fiscal Year’s rateof 14.7 cents per $100.

The tax will generate approxi-mately $13 million for the county,officials said.

An increase in taxes isn’t need-

ed at this time, said Judge-execu-tive Ralph Drees.

“Right now we have a bal-anced budget with that number,”he said. “We don’t need the dol-lars, especially during these toughtimes.”

Commissioner Sara ReederVoelker was the dissenting vote on

commission. When asked why shevoted no, Voelker stated she“doesn’t believe in taxing people.”’

As for Drees, he didn’t under-stand Voelker’s position saying,“It’s super we don’t have to raiseanything.”

There was no public commentprior to the meeting or during thepublic meeting.

No tax increase in Kenton County

Covington resident TarynBryant is traveling downthe Big River at the CarnegieVisual & Performing ArtsCenter.

This is Bryant’s first timeperforming at the Carnegie,

which is presenting “BigRiver,” a musical of MarkTwain’s beloved novel, “TheAdventures of HuckleberryFinn” weekends throughSept. 4.

While Bryant, an Alaba-ma native, is an ensemblemember in “Big River,” shealso has two solos andplays Alice, a house slavebelonging to the Phelps.

“She’s raising her slave-owner’s daughters and she’svery motherly and con-cerned for their well beingas well as that of her ownchildren,” Bryant said.

Bryant’s first song, “TheCrossing,” is a “very sadsong with happy lyricsabout being caught whiletrying to escape,” sheexplained. “Huck and Jimencounter that song as Jimis making his own escapedown the river.”

While there’s not muchback story to Alice, Bryanthas made one up in herhead, as much for herself asthe audience, she explained.

“I want them to connectme with the character eventhough they don’t know

that character’s name,” shesaid.

Bryant is currently atouring actor and road man-ager of ArtReach, a divisionof The Children’s Theatre ofCincinnati.

After “Big River,” Bryantwill perform in the CovedaleCenter for Performing Arts’“Evita.”

The 25-year-old hasbeen singing and acting herwhole life.

“My parents are veryactive in participating,watching and helping outbackstage. It’s been in mylife this whole time and Iknew that’s what I wantedto do,” she said.

With three performancesunder his belt, CarnegieTheatre Manager JoshuaSteele said “Big River” hasdrew large audiences so far,which he attributes to tradi-tional storytelling, themusic of country singer/songwriter Roger Miller andof course, the story itself.

“It’s an important part ofour culture in America,especially Cincinnati withthe Ohio River being soingrained in our psyche. As

Cincinnatians, there’s a lotof history of river trail andcommerce in this region,”Steele said.

While the musical fol-lows the plot of Twain’snovel closely, “Big River”stands out because most ofthe cast is under the age of22, Steele said.

“It’s exciting to see thatunique kind of energyemployed in the show. Itreally serves it well,” hesaid.

When Feb. 18, 2011rolls around, Jack Walzanticipates hearing onequestion over and overagain.

“Can I get free tickets?”Walz, a fifth-grader at

River Ridge Elementary,spent three days this sum-mer filming a part in theupcoming movie “I AmNumber Four,” a science-fiction thriller starring AlexPettyfer and TimothyOlyphant about a group ofteenage aliens being huntedby enemies while on Earth.Walz will play Andy, theyounger brother of one ofthe main characters.

“I don’t know if I’ll beable to get tickets or any-thing like that for people,”said Walz with a big smile.“But it was really cool to bea part of it and I’m excitedfor it to come out.”

Walz, who has starred insome local commercials forthe Newport Aquarium andSpeedway gas stations, saidhe heard about the role fromKatalyst, a talent agencylocated in Edgewood onDixie Highway. He went toPittsburgh to audition forthe part, not quite knowingwhat to expect.

“I was a little nervous,because it was my firstmovie, but it wasn’t toobad,” he said. “I felt like Idid a pretty good job.”

Walz did more than that,as he earned a callback thatrequired another trip toPittsburgh. Following that,he was offered the role,

which he gladly accepted.Filming for his scene beganshortly thereafter.

“It was very cool to beon a movie set and see whatgoes into it,” said his mom,Nancy. “We’re just so excit-ed for him- this is going tobe great.”

Nancy also said that sheand her husband, Barry,were impressed with Jack’seagerness to dive right intoa new world at an age whensome kids are hesitant toeven speak out in theirclassrooms.

“I don’t know why, buthe has never really beenshy in front of other peo-ple,” she said. “This is justsomething he enjoys doingand it really draws him in.”

Jack admitted he wasimpressed by the amount ofwork that goes into eachscene. Although he hasonly about five spokenlines, he said it was a lot ofwork to get everything doneperfectly and to the direc-tor’s liking.

“There’s a lot of stuff thatgoes into it- I had no idea,”he said. “But it was fun forme, because I had neverdone that before.”

And with the movie’srelease date only about sixmonths away, Walz saidhe’s pumped for his friendsand family to see the fin-ished product.

“My friends all think it’sreally cool that I’m going tobe in a movie,” he said. “Ijust can’t wait to see how itturns out!”

“I Am Number Four” isbased on the book by Pitta-cus Lore and direct by D.J.

Caruso. It is currently set tobe released Feb. 11, 2011according to the website,imdb.com.

BRIEFS


Fort Wright City Councilpassed the first reading ofan ordinance setting the2010-2011 property taxrate 3-1 at a special meetingAug. 18.

Council Members JoeAverdick and Todd

McMurtry were absent.While the number could

change at the second readingSept. 1, council voted to takethe compensating rate,$2.19 per $1,000 ofassessed property value.This is a 4.2 percent increasefrom last year’s rate, $2.10per $1,000 of assessed prop-erty value, but the compen-sating rate is meant to gener-ate the same amount of taxrevenue as the year before.

In this case, FortWright’s tax in 2010-2011should generate about $1million, the same as lastyear’s rate.

Declining property valuesare responsible for the jump

in the compensating rate,said City Administrator GaryHuff. Property values wentdown about $5 million, witha big chunk of that amount,about $2 million, resultingfrom the devaluation of Tap-pan Properties, the shoppingcenter with Walgreens andthe Dollar Tree.

However, about $1.6million of that $5 milliondrop is canceled out due tonew business construction,Huff said.

While acknowledging theneed for extra revenue inthis year’s budget, councilfelt as a whole that takingthe compensating rate madesense in light of the street

tax proposal on the Novem-ber ballot, which would taxresidents 10 cents per $100of assessed value.

“The big issue is we need tomake improvements to thestreets. This 4 percent isn’tgoing to bail us out,” Huff said.

If council votes to takean additional 4 percent ontop of the compensatingrate, that would mean anadditional $37,000 in rev-enue compared to the$500,000 in revenue thatwould be generated annual-ly by the street tax.

“If we take the 4 percent,it’s not going to get ourroads fixed,” Mayor JoeNienaber Jr. said.


Two Kenton Countycities are short one councilmember after the electionfiling deadline Aug. 17.

However, interested resi-dents of Lakeside Park and

Crescent Springs canbecome write-in candidateson the November ballotuntil Oct. 22. If no one fillsthe seat, a sixth member isappointed when the newcouncil takes office in Janu-ary 2011.

Crescent Springs MayorJim Collett encourages resi-dents to sign up for councilto make the city a “betterplace.”

“If you don’t getinvolved, things don’t hap-pen,” he said.

Collett views the lack of

candidates as a double-edged sword, explaining itshows people are happywith current leadership, butalso that they may not haveenough interest to getinvolved themselves.

Council Member MattZeck, who is running for re-election, said the city alwaysneeds fresh perspectives.

“We’d love to have morepeople’s input and creativeideas to help us be moresuccessful,” he said.

Zeck doesn’t understandwhy people wouldn’t want

to make sure their tax dol-lars are well-spent.

“This is your govern-ment; this is your city. Whywouldn’t you want to makesure everything is going theway that it should?” heasked.

Crescent Springs’ councilattends two monthly meet-ings and participates incommittees such as police,fire, recreation and publicworks.

Lakeside Park MayorKatherine Terwort is askingher residents to step up to

the plate and serve.“If you are concerned

about city issues and want avoice, that’s the way to doit,” she said. “You can tryand establish policies andprocedures you thinkshould be in place.”

The city doesn’t have anadministrator, so LakesidePark council members chipin more than most, Terwortsaid.

“Everyone has a jobother than being a councilmember; they’re on thepublic works or recreation

committees and the fireauthority,” she said.

Council Member PaulMarkgraf, who is runningfor re-election, said it’sinteresting to see the innerworkings of your city.

“It’s nice to be able to seethe other side of that andsolve problems and addressthe concerns of residents,”he said. “You get great sat-isfaction when you see aproject like the Van DerenStreet Project and sewerreplacement come tofruition.”

Family, friends and fel-low firefighters gathered atthe burial of Park Hills resi-dent James H. Rawe onAug. 21.

Rawe, 76, was a U.S.Army Veteran and a retireefrom Coca Cola. Rawe alsospent 30 years as a volun-teer firefighter for the ParkHills Fire Department from1966 to 1996.

Rawe died of naturalcauses at his home Aug. 16.

In honor of Rawe’s long-time service, Park Hills fire-fighters acted as his honorguard, pall bearers and fold-ed his veteran’s flag.

Friends and familydescribed Rawe as a veryquiet, but caring, man.

“If anybody deserves agood send-off, it’s him,”said fellow volunteer fire-fighter Tom Hellmann.

Hellmann said Rawe,who trained many new fire-fighters over the years, wasconscientious about firedepartment business.

“He’d be there everynight checking on things,”Hellmann said, fondlyrecalling the “diagram”Rawe drew of the firetruck’s ladder, which had tobe repaired and varnishedeach year.

“Nobody could under-stand that but him,” Hell-mann laughed.

Council Member DonCatchen knew Rawe duringhis time as a Park Hillspolice officer.

“When you volunteerthat many years and get

nothing for it, you deserveto be recognized as publicservant,” he said.

Rawe’s survivors includehis sister, Mary AnnGraven; nephew MichaelGraven; niece Patty Mur-phy; great-niece ShannonNiehaus and great-nephewsKyle Murphy and Brad Mur-phy.

Rawe was laid to rest atSt. John’s Cemetery in FortMitchell.

Fidelity Investments andHandsOn Network, the vol-unteer-focused arm ofPoints of Light Institute,announced a new partner-ship designed to help revi-talize the learning environ-ments in 11 middle schoolsacross the United States.

The new program, aresult of Fidelity’s commit-ment to help middle schoolstudents achieve academicsuccess and pursue theirown paths to college andcareers, kicked off July 25 inNashua, N.H., and will endSept. 11 in New York City.

Facilitated by localHandsOn Network ActionCenters, more than 3,000Fidelity employees willdesign and create College

and Career Zones at locallytailored “School Transfor-mation Days.”

This is Fidelity’s largestemployee volunteer effortand will total more than30,000 hours of communityservice, most of which willoccur on weekends.

“The middle school yearsplay a critical role in keep-ing students inspired and ontrack to receive a highschool diploma,” said SheilaC. Cavanaugh, senior vicepresident, Fidelity Invest-ments. “While we believethat all kids have the poten-tial to succeed and makethis happen, not all of themhave the opportunities,environments or supportsystems to get there. Our

aim is to bring renewedenergy and enthusiasm tomiddle school students andhelp them make a success-ful transition to high schooland, ultimately, to gradua-tion.”

Among the participatingschools is Holmes MiddleSchool, Covington. Nation-wide, 7,000 students dropout of school every day andonly about 70 percent ofstudents graduate from highschool with a regular highschool diploma. In addition,nearly half of dropoutsoccur in the ninth grade.

As a result, school trans-formation projects wereidentified this spring throughintensive “CommunityDesign Days” where school

administrators, teachers, stu-dents, parents, civic leaders,Fidelity employees andHandsOn Network staffersidentified projects that wouldhelp support dropout preven-tion efforts by inspiring stu-dents on the importance ofcollege and a life of mean-ingful work.

Scott Christian has beena remembered name inNorthern Kentucky soccerever since the former BooneCounty High School stardied after being injured dur-ing a game in 1992.

Area coaches give out anaward in his name at thepostseason honors banquetand his parents Gary andBarb raise scholarship fundsthrough a foundation intheir son’s name.

Casey Seibert is lookingto make the former player’sname an even bigger part ofthe consciousness of currentplayers.

Seibert, the head boys’soccer coach at Scott HighSchool, orchestrated the firstScott Christian MemorialTournament Aug. 20-21.Scott and four other schoolsplayed two games apieceover four days at TwenhofelMiddle School in Indepen-dence.

Seibert grew up withChristian.

“The foundation does agreat job,” Seibert said. “Hismom and dad have done so

much for Northern Ken-tucky soccer. We’ll do itevery year. I’d love to get itto 12 to 16 teams and makeit the biggest tournament inthe state.”

The Scott Eagles went 1-1 in the tourney, losing toHighlands 2-1 and beatingConner 4-0. Scott has highhopes for the season afterwinning their season openerAug. 17 against Covington

Catholic, 1-0. Richie Supescored the goal for Scott.

It avenged last year’sseason-ending loss to theColonels in the subsectional,AKA the state round-of-16.

“It was a fast-paced,attacking, aggressivegame,” Seibert said. “Ourboys have been looking for-ward to it. Cov Cath endedour season last year so wewanted to prove to our-

selves that we are thatgood. Our goal is to be thelast team in Northern Ken-tucky.”

Scott was District 18 andRegion 9 champs last year,recording a 17-4-2 record.The Eagles have a veteranteam to improve on thatwith nine seniors and 14juniors.

The Eagles have eightreturning starters includingseniors Alec Robbins, Dex-ter Morgan, Matt Kees,Richie Supe, DylanLankheit, Beau Gergel; jun-ior Jared Wagner and soph-omore Jacob Trusty.

Top newcomers are JoshSchneider, Nick Schnieders,Tanner Cox and Jimmy Hill-man.

“The kids have been on abig stage,” Seibert said.“Both teams knew that itcould very well be the sub-sectional game again. CovCath is a great team with alot of returners, too.”

Robbins is the center-piece of the Eagles afterleading the state last year,but his main goals are team-oriented, Seibert said.

“He is concentrating onbeing an all-around player,”

Seibert said. “He’s willing toplay defense. I dropped himback in midfield the last 12minutes against Cov Cath.Alec knows he has 10 otherguys he can count on, andthat is the big thing. He’strying to help the otherkids.”

Supe had four goals lastyear. Morgan had eight andis one of the team’s topplaymakers in the middle.

Morgan had a goal ineach of the tourney gameslast weekend. Robbins,Supe and Jared Wagner alsoscored against Conner. Rob-bins has three assists thisyear.

Kees had a standout sea-son in goal last year, earn-ing honorable mention all-state honors with 10shutouts. Three of the sen-iors start on the back line.

“We have experienceand seniors willing to lead,”Seibert said. “They knowthey need to be prepared nomatter what, whetherthey’re a starter, benchplayer or JV player we haveto call up at the lastminute.”

It’s time for school to startagain. Do you have everythingyour child will need: Pencils, pens,notebooks, Tdap?

If your child is 10 years of ageor older, he or she should have aTdap vaccine to protect him or heragainst pertussis. Pertussis, alsoknown as whooping cough, is ahighly contagious respiratory ill-ness.

Once thought of as a childhooddisease, it is being seen moreoften in teens and adults acrossthe country.

Older siblings, parents andgrandparents can carry the infec-tion to infants who are not vacci-nated or have not received all oftheir vaccines.

The number of reported casesof pertussis in the United Stateshas increased steadily over thelast two decades. This is thoughtto be due to a waning of the vac-cine as we age.

Our local numbers are up dra-matically as well. So far in 2010,Northern Kentucky has had 84cases of pertussis reported sinceJanuary, compared to 30 cases for

the entire year in2009.

P e r t u s s i sbegins with vaguesymptoms thatresemble a com-mon cold. It canthen progress to as p a s m - t y p ecough whichbecomes worse atnight and can lastfor one to twomonths. Thiscough can be sointense that it

causes the infected person tovomit or turn blue.

In teens and adults, the symp-toms tend to be less severe. Ininfants and small children, thisinfection can lead to complicationssuch as pneumonia, seizures,brain injury and, in rare cases,death.

While no deaths from pertussishave been reported locally, therehave been deaths reported inother states, including California.

Pertussis spreads through theair. When a person coughs, he/she

spreads droplets with the bacteria.You can protect your family

and others by taking a few simplesteps. First, if you have a coughthat lasts longer than two weeks,see your physician. If you arediagnosed with pertussis, avoidcontact with others, especiallyinfants and young children, untilyou have received an antibiotic.

Make sure your children are upto date with their vaccinations.Children should receive five dosesof a pertussis containing vaccine.

Anyone between the ages of11 and 64 years old should askabout getting a pertussis vaccinebooster, known as a Tdap. If yourphysician does not carry this vac-cine, contact the Health Depart-ment.

Back-to-school should be atime filled with new experiencesand learning, and not a time forfamilies to have to deal with apotentially dangerous disease.Take steps this year to protectyour family from pertusiss.

Department.

Librarians at each branch areprepared to assist children withfinding the information they needto complete projects and assign-ments.

And if your local branch does-n't have a specific book you arelooking for, we can send it fromanother branch.

Homework assignments canbe overwhelming to parents. Theresearch involved can make it dif-ficult to know where to evenstart. Begin at the library. Manyparents we work with are over-whelmed by science projects,

Accelerated Reading programs,book reports, and more. Theresources you need are at thelibrary - librarians, books, maga-zines, computers, databases andmore.

We are often able to makehomework less stressful for par-ents and we are happy to do it.

We also have resources avail-able for students who may needsome extra assistance. With pro-grams like “Hooked on Phonics”and “Hooked on Math” (amongmany others) that you can checkout and take home, you will beguided step by step so that youare able to offer the needed assis-tance to your child.

Teachers can get assistance

from the librarythrough teachercollections thatwe will puttogether for youbased on yourneeds.

For example, ifyou teach firstgrade and areteaching a unitabout apples, wecan find fiction,n o n - f i c t i o n ,videos or DVD'sand even CD's to

match your topic and grade leveland call you when we have it alltogether.

We fill requests for teacher col-lections for preschool and up. Youcan request one online or callyour nearest Kenton County Pub-lic Library branch.

Teachers can also bring theirclass for a visit to the library orrequest that one of our children'sprogrammers come to visit theirclass as a supplement to their cur-riculum.

Another important part of theschool year is to balance school-work and fun.

Each of our three branchesoffers many programs for schoolage children and families.

Summer vacation might becoming to a close, but smog sea-son is not. As children return toschool, it is essential to acknowl-edge the continued importance ofair quality in the Greater Cincin-nati area. There are many cleanair practices that can make a dif-ference during the back to schoolseason. Although back to schoolis usually associated with autumnmany schools have alreadyreturned to the classroom.Because high temperatures andsmog are creeping further into theearly part of the school year it isessential to maintain clean airpractices.

This year Hamilton CountyEnvironmental Services hasalready issued 19 smog alertswhich is a significant increasefrom last year's three smog alerts.Smog alerts are issued when thereis a high level of ozone or particlepollution, making the airunhealthy. The area included inthe smog alerts involves Boone,Campbell, and Kenton counties inKentucky; and Butler, Clermont,Hamilton, and Warren counties inOhio.

“The increase in smog alertsreinforces the need for everyoneto take part in clean air practicesin the Tri-State” said OKI BoardPresident and Campbell CountyJudge Executive Steve Pendery.“Even as smog season nears itsend with school beginning, itremains important to continue

doing your sharefor cleaner air soit becomes a dailyhabit.”

The easiestway for individu-als to do theirshare for clean airis changing howone travels. Forinstance, walkingto school insteadof driving can bebeneficial forhealth as well asthe environment.To avoid safety

issues regarding children walkingto school, it is important to ensurethat walking routes are safe. SafeRoutes to School (SRTS) is anational partnership which con-ducts projects aimed at keepingchildren from walking in streets oralong train tracks. SRTS seeks tocreate connectivity betweenschools and residential areas andincrease the number of police offi-cers patrolling school areas. Safetyis important and more informationregarding SRTS can be found atwww.saferoutespartnership.org.

Another way to reduce smog iscarpooling with neighbors. Createa carpool with friends and neigh-bors. It is an easy, convenient,money-saving way to get toschool. This is an incredible wayto contribute to cleaner air,because vehicle emissions cause44 percent of the smog produced.

If children are assigned to ride abus, encourage them to ride it! Afull bus is equivalent to taking 40cars off the road during rush-hourtraffic. Both carpooling and ridingthe bus decrease the number ofcars on the road. Fewer cars onthe road results in less exhaustfumes and less smog.

Also, biking to school is a greattransportation alternative. It is anexcellent way to stay healthy andto have fun while getting toschool. OKI has developed aGreater Cincinnati Bike RouteGuide, as well as a Northern Ken-tucky Bike Route Guide. “We areproud of this bike guide because ofthe important information it pro-vides to cyclists,” said OKI Execu-tive Director Mark Policinski.“This invaluable guide providessafe routes for cyclists, route infor-mation and explains bicyclelaws.”

The Bike Route guides areavailable at www.oki.org or bycalling (513) 621-6300.

Any of the previously men-tioned modes of transportation,will positively affect the air quali-ty in the Tri-State. Try and selectone way each week - every littlebit helps in doing your share forcleaner air! For additional tips toreduce air pollution, visitwww.doyourshare.org, like us onwww.facebook.com/doyourshare,or call 800-621-SMOG.

Tri-County Mall has joinedNewport on the Levee and isnow requiring teens to have anadult escort after 4 p.m. onweekends. Do you support theidea? Why or why not?

While these privately ownedmalls have every right to enforcethem, parental escort policies are abad idea. Business-wise, theyrestrict the flow a huge part oftheir consumer-base - i.e. teenshoppers. Not so smart. But, moreimportantly, unilateral rules likethis also forget that “teens” arenot all equally mature or imma-ture (and that a lot of adults actless “grown up” than some chil-

dren do). Should we really be giv-ing our kids another reason tothink that we expect them to getinto trouble? These sorts of poli-cies hurt commerce and under-mine trust across generations.

P.L.I think having adult supervi-

sion in the malls after a certainhour is a responsible approach tomaking sure that the kids are wellbehaved. It would reduce thecrowding of areas and it also helpspeople feel more comfortablewhen they do not have to worryabout crowds of teens that hangtogether whatever their inten-tions. Having said that, if the child

is not respectful and is disruptiveto the commercial intentions ofthe malls, having a parent whodid not teach their child to berespectful and mind full of otherswill not protect people from theirbad behaviors because their lackor inability to parent them in thefirst place is why they behave insuch ways in the first place.

When the2010 Alltech

FEI WorldEquestrianG a m e sbegin at the

K e n t u c k yHorse Park in Lexing-ton on Sept. 25, it willmark the first time theGames have been heldoutside of Europesince their inception in1990. The Games willserve as the world championships for eight separateequestrian disciplines, and 62 countries will be repre-sented in the events.

“There’s definitely a sense of pride to know thatpeople from all over the world will be here in Ken-tucky,” said Kristin Bednarski, a public relationsassistant for the 2010 Alltech FEI World EquestrianGames. “This is going to be huge, not just for thecity, but for the entire state.”

The Games are expected to draw more than400,000 people over the 16-day event, which will offer not

only the competitions, but also a trade show and family-friendly EquineVillage. The village will include hand-on activities, demonstrations and a Kid Zone,

complete with a pony petting area, mechanical cutting horse and even an old stagecoach. Therewill also be a special “Kentucky Experience,” where guests can sample bourbon, enjoy Bluegrass music,and learn about other unique aspects ofKentucky culture andtourism.

John Long, CEOof the United EquestrianFoundation, said theGames are sure toattract a wide rangeof people, eventhose who aren’tfamiliar with equinecompetitions.

“It’s kind of likepeople who don’twatch footballenjoying the SuperBowl – the enormityof the event ispart of whatmakes it fun,”he said.

As the publicrelations coordi-nator for theGames, LouiseBowden agrees.She also saidthat for peopleoutside of theequine industry,it’s easy tounderest imatethe significanceand magnitudeof the Games.After all, noteveryone knowswhat para-dres-sage is or how toscore reining,and they maynot be able toappreciate a great driving performance.

However, to the competitors, she said these Gamesare everything. And if people are going to see an eventfor the first time, why not watch the absolute best?

“This is the pinnacle of competition for these ath-letes – it’s like their World Cup,” she said. “This is asbig as it gets for the athletes, and that’s what makesthis so compelling to watch.”

Bowden said that preparing for the Games has beenhard work, as temporary buildings, stadiums andstructures are being constructed all over the 1,200-acre Horse Park in anticipation of the crowds. All ofthe horses for the Games, a number that could be closeto 800, will be stabled at the Horse Park, and there areexpected to be close to 6,000 volunteers on handthroughout the games to help with various events.

“It’s been a lot of work to get ready, and it’s prettyhectic right now as it’s getting closer,” she said. “Butit’s also a lot of fun just to be a part of this.”

Guests can purchase general admission tickets for$25 to have access to the Horse Park grounds, EquineVillage, trade show and Kentucky Experience, whiletickets to each of the competitions are extra, withprices ranging from $25 to $140 depending on theevent.

A full schedule of events and prices, as well asdirections and lodging information, is available atwww.alltechfeigames.com.

“In terms of the number of visitors and the rev-enue generated, this is going to be a historic event forthe state,” said Long. “The excitement is growing, andwe just can’t wait for the Games to start.”

Love

“The eternal silence ofthese infinite spaces terrifiesme.” So stated Blaise Pas-cal, famed philosopher, sci-entist, mathematician andwriter about the vastness ofthe universe.

Notice it was not thesheer size of “these infinitespaces” that amazed him. Itwas their silence that terri-fied him.

The gaping stillness of anight sky can remind us ofour human solitude. For somany, noise and busynessare familiar; solitude andsilence frighten us.

Theologian NicholasLash writes, “I have a sus-picion that one reason whysome scientists seem sokeen to suppose that some-where, in some vastly dis-tant region, there must bethat which we could recog-nize as ‘living,’ and ascapable of communicatingwith us … Meeting themwould give us company anddiminish our terrifying iso-lation.”

He could have a point.Our fear of silence and soli-tude is confirmed when werecall how even earlyGreeks and Romans popu-lated the distant skies withspirits, deities and astrologi-cal animals.

Horoscope readers todayfind solace in the belief thatthe stars and planets arereally entities concernedabout us and our fate.

Why do we dislikesilence so much?

One reason is we fearlooking at all that is within

us. We’remasters atavo id ingconfronta-tion withwho wereally area n dw h a t ’ sgoing onin ourdepths.

T r u e ,our advances in technologycan be extremely helpful inconversing with anotherand transacting our busi-nesses.

But at other times tech-nology is like the Trojanhorse that delivered a hid-den enemy within thecamp.

Technology has alreadygiven us multiple ways toavoid silence: radio, TV,computers, cell phones,internet, games, e-mails,text-messaging, etc.

We can go to bed withmusic or TV and awake tothe same. Want to avoidsilence? There’s an app forthat.

An old paradoxical say-ing claims that the cure forloneliness is solitude. Forwhen we have conqueredsolitude’s fear, we discoverwe are not alone.

Bringing a temporaryhalt to our hurrying anddoing permits us to tap intoour conversations with our-selves within.

Dr. James Hollis notes,“The chief pathology of ourtime is the capacity of theworld to distract us from

this conversation.”Psychological observa-

tions have proven that thethree places we can come toknow ourselves the best aremarriage, psychotherapyand silence.

Our first tries at bringingmore silence into our livescan be agitating. Webecome anxious, feelingweird at doing this, andchecking the time to seewhen our time is up so wecan get on to better things.

Actually, we have to gothrough the frighteningsilence to come to the elo-quent silence. After workingour way through the scarypart of silence, we come toan inner place where thequality of the silencechanges. In this morepeaceful place we are most-ly with our self, and withGod.

This apparently emptyspace of silence is actuallyindescribably full. Then it isthat we discover that elo-quent silence is not anabsence, but a presence; notboring but refreshing; notstressful but serene.

Author Pico Iyerdescribes this serenity foundin silence: “Eloquent silenceis that enchanted placewhere space is cleared, timesubsides, and the horizonexpands.

“In silence, we often say,we can hear ourselvesthink; but what is truer tosay is that in silence we canhear ourselves not think,and so sink below ourselves into a place far deep-

er than mere thoughtallows. In silence, we mightbetter say, we can hearsomeone else think.”

As the heat and humidi-ty moderate in late summerand autumn, nature calls usmore insistently to comeaway for awhile fromexpressways, malls and

crowds – and like the greathost that she is – invites usto revel in her silence.

There are certain soupsthat transcend trendy andbecome real heirloomfavorites.

The soup recipes I’msharing today fit those crite-ria. They are the ones thatare my most popular.

Now I know it may betoo hot to make them now,but tuck these jewels away– autumn isn’t far away!

Rita’s 30-minutevegetable soup

One of my most request-ed recipes, this is a favoritewith kids and adults.

Also, throw in any strayvegetables lurking in thefridge. Ditto with extracooked pasta or rice.

And if your family does-

n’t likes p i c ysoup, user e g u l a rc a n n e dd i c e dtomatoes.Pass plen-ty of ched-dar orParmesan.

l poundlean ground beef: sirloin orground round

1 generous cup choppedonion

1 teaspoon garlic1 jar, 20-30 oz. chunky

garden style pasta sauce2 cans beef brothWater to taste (start with

1 soup can of water and gofrom there)

1 can, 10 oz., choppedtomatoes and chilies

1 pound or so frozenmixed vegetables, thawed ifyou have time

Several handfuls anyfresh greens (opt.)

Cheddar or Parmesan forgarnish

Sauté meat, onion andgarlic together in largestockpot. “Sauté” simplymeans browning the meatwith the onion and garlic.Drain any fat.

Now add everything elsebut the greens. If you havethe 30 oz. jar of pastasauce, add almost all buttaste before adding the rest.

Bring to a boil and letsimmer for 20 minutes oruntil veggies are tender.

Toss in greens and cookuntil just wilted, about aminute more.

Tony Palazzolo’sversion of Frisch’svegetable soup

“A result of over a dozenattempts, and I think it isvery close to Frisch’s,”wrote Tony, an AndersonTownship reader.

The last time I made this,I used about a pound offrozen mixed vegetables forthe peas, corn, beans andlima beans.

I also omitted the freshcarrots, since carrots wereincluded in the frozen mixedvegetables. I used quickcooking barley and brownrice, as well.

4 tablespoons vegetable oil1 cup onion, diced1⁄2 cup each diced: carrots,

celery1⁄2 cup each frozen veg-

etables: peas, corn, cutgreen beans, baby limabeans (can use canned babylimas)

1 can, 14.5 oz, dicedtomatoes with juice

2 quarts beef broth1 quart water1⁄2 teaspoon each thyme,

garlic powder

3⁄4 teaspoon black pepper1 cup potato, diced1⁄4 cup pearl barley1⁄4 cup long grain riceSalt to taste

In a large soup pot, sautéonion, carrot, and celeryuntil onion is soft but notbrowned, about 10 minutes.Add rest of ingredientsexcept potato, rice and bar-ley.

Bring to boil and lower tosimmer partially covered for30 to 45 minutes.

Add potato, rice and bar-ley, bring back to boil, lowerto simmer, partially covered,for another 30 minutes oruntil potato, rice and barleyare done. Add salt and pep-per.

Amy Tobin’s Italianwedding soup

Amy is a friend and col-league who is well knownfor her creative entertainingskills. This soup is so good.

4 cups escarole, cleanedand cut crosswise into 1-inch strips

11⁄2 large carrots, chopped12 cups chicken stock4 ounces ditalini or

tubetti, or other small pastaFreshly grated ParmesanMeatballs*

1⁄2 pound ground veal orbeef

Parmesan cheese1⁄4 cup grated onion1 large egg1⁄2 teaspoon saltFreshly ground pepper,

Combine the escarole,carrots, and stock in a largepot. Bring to a simmer andcook until the escarole isalmost tender, about 30minutes.

*To make the meatballs:Combine ground meat,breadcrumbs, cheese,onion, egg, salt and pepper.Shape into tiny balls, lessthan 1 inch in diameter.

When the escarole isalmost tender, stir in thepasta and return the soup tothe simmer.

Drop the meatballs intothe soup. Cook over lowheat, stirring gently, untilthe meatballs and pasta arecooked, about 20 minutes.

Taste for seasoning.Serve hot with cheese.
