BELLEVUE — It’s the mostwonderful time of the year ... toshop at small businesses.

“There are so many reasonsto shop local,” Bellevue MainStreet program manager JodyRobinson said. “More moneyreinvests in the local economythan with chain stores. Localbusinesses invest more in our

communities. They support lo-cal non-profits, schools and civ-ic groups at a higher level.”

To entice shoppers to Fair-field Avenue, the city’s historicdistrict,Robinson saidBellevueRenaissance is hosting holiday-themed events throughout De-cember.

“The holiday season is whenthe highest percentage of retailshopping is done annually,”Robinson said. “For an indepen-

dent small business, having agreat holiday season helps car-ry them through the monthsthat are traditionally slower,like January for instance, whenpeople are less apt to shop asthey receive their credit cardbills, the temperatures plum-met, and retails sales across allsectors slow down.”

ALEXANDRIA — Steve Sta-pleton didn’t want to take cen-ter stage, but he did giveCampbellCounty themoneytobuild one at A.J. Jolly Park.

Stapleton, of Alexandria,said the television camerapointing at him at the Dec. 4FiscalCourtmeeting is not thetype of thing he seeks out.

He handed Judge-execu-tiveStevePenderya check for$119,000 from the StapletonFamily Trust – covering thefull cost of a new outdoor pa-vilion stage overlooking thelake at the 1,000-acre countypark.

“I normally don’t do publicstuff, and I normally don’t dodonations publicly, but I feltcompelled to say a few thingsabout this,” Stapleton said.

Stapleton said he met Pen-dery a year ago when thejudge-executives fromBoone,Kenton and Campbell eachgave a presentation abouttheir counties. Stapleton was

impressed by Pendery talkingabout the need for people toget involved where they liveand the idea of public-privatepartnerships. Stapletonmoved to Campbell Countynine years ago from Edge-wood.

ALEXANDRIA — TheCampbell County Con-servation District’s mis-sion of conserving farm-land and natural areas

has beenmoved intothe coun-ty’s histor-ic Alexan-dria court-house builtin 1840.

The dis-trict’selected

board had their firstmeeting inside the newcourthouse office spaceat 8350E.Main St.Dec. 2.

“We felt like we need-ed to better use the coun-ty facilities,” said RonMcCormick, chairman ofthe conservation districtboard.

McCormick said mov-ing into the courthouseputs the district office in-side a recognizable land-mark.

The conservation dis-trict moved into the for-mer county clerk’s spacein the Alexandria court-house. The clerk’s Alex-andria office was movedin 2006 across U.S. 27 to8330 W. Main St. Thecounty’s Fiscal Courtmaintains a meetingroom on the courthousefirst floor, and the secondfloor is home to theCampbell County His-torical and GenealogicalSociety.

The conservation tax

district was establishedby petition in 1945 inCampbell County. Theseven soil and water con-servation board mem-bers are elected to four-year terms and servewithout pay.

McCormick said thedistrict’s programs in-clude approving agricul-tural districts with atleast 250 acres of land,and conserving naturalareas.

There are now14 agri-cultural districts in thecounty, and theconserva-tion district maintainstwo land preserves.

The conservation dis-trict took over steward-ship of the previously es-tablished St. AnneWoodsand Wetlands in Mel-bourne Nov. 21. The Con-gregationofDivineProv-idencepreserved the100-acre wetland along theOhio river in 2008, andadded the 50-acre wood-land in April 2013.

The HawthorneCrossing ConservationArea on 140 acres of landnear Alexandria over-looking theLickingRiverwas preserved in 2008.Theconservationdistrictpurchased the formerdairy farm using$800,000 from Kentuck-y’s sale of nature vehiclelicenseplates foranaddi-tional $10. The licenseplate program was start-ed in1995 as theHeritageLand Conservation Fund.

Various grants forconserving agricultureare offered by the dis-

trict including funds toeliminate erosion and topay for non-traditionaloperations includinggoatsandrabbit farming,saidMary Kathryn Dick-erson, district coordina-tor for the Campbell,Kenton and Boone con-servation districts.

Applications for to-bacco cost share moneyfrom the Governor’s Of-fice of Agricultural Poli-cy are also accepted an-nually by the district,Dickerson said.

This year’s share forCampbell County was$50,000, andfarmersnowuse the money for im-proving crop production,she said.

The money was origi-nally intended to helpfarmers shift away fromtobacco production,Dickerson said.

The Campbell CountyFarmland Work Group,an affiliated group offarmers focused on im-proving the economic vi-ability of agriculture, issponsored by the districtshe said.

The Farmland WorkGroup organizes the an-nual Backroads FarmTour in Campbell Countyeach year on the thirdSaturday in July.

Additionally, the im-plementation of federalgrants awarded to farm-ers are overseen by thedistrict, Dickerson said.

And a farm dump re-moval assistance grantprovides money for oldfarm dumps, she said.

“We manage a lot ofgrants to preserve theconservation of the envi-ronment as it has alwaysbeen,” she said.

BRIEFLY

A member of theNorthern KentuckyHorseNetwork,Stapletonsaid he rides horse trailsat the park, and has beenpaying attention to thework of the not-for-profitJolly Park CommunityDevelopment Council tobring improvements.

“A.J. Jolly is a beauti-ful park, it’s a diamond inthe rough,” he said.

The donation wasmade in honor of Staple-ton’s father, Joseph. Sta-pleton said his father tookthe family on outings toparks in Indiana and satand enjoyed watchingpeople having fun.

“When Mr. Penderytoldme about the A.J. Jol-ly thing I thought thatsounds like somethingmydad would really appreci-ate sitting there watchingpeople going to concerts.”

Pendery asked KevinHanson of Alexandria,chairman of the commu-nity development council,and Cold Spring residentWalt Dunlevy, vice chair-

man, to come take Staple-ton’s donation and speakat the meeting.

Dunlevy said the nameof the stagewill be the Jo-seph J. Stapleton Stageand Theater.

The donation will payfor costs associated withbuilding the stage, Dunle-vy said. Plans for thestage are being rede-signed and tweaked rightnow, he said.

“The hope is to get un-der construction in lateMarch (2014),” Dunlevysaid. “We’d like toget it upand in place so we can getsome good standing grassbefore we have anotherevent.”

The council organizeda 50th anniversary partyfor the county park in Au-gust 2013. The goal is tohave another event againin August, Dunlevy said.

Pendery said the out-door stage will help drawpeople to A.J. Jolly andgive them a chance to seeand enjoy the impressivevistas overlooking thelake.

Pendery, Fiscal Courtcommissioners, Dunlevy,Hanson and other mem-bers of thecommunityde-velopment councilstopped themeeting afterthe presentation for 25minutes to thank Staple-ton and shake his hand.

“Steve is a modest per-son, but in this particularcasehedoesn’thavemuchto be modest about,” Pen-dery said. This is themostexciting generosity thatthe county’s had.”

BELLEVUE — You don’tneed pointy ears or to livein the North Pole to be anelf.

The Family Connec-tions Resource Center,which serves students atSouthgate School andBellevue’s Grandview El-ementary, is offering theopportunity this holidayseason.

The center’s HolidayElves program invitesresidents and businessowners to play Santa’s elfto a child in need.

“Every year they re-ceive more than 100 re-quests for assistance forchildrenwithin our schooldistricts,” center coordi-nator Rob Sanders said.“We do asmuch as we canto line those families upwith agencies and pro-grams that exist through-out our area, like Shopwith a Cop and the Ben-gals’ Kicks forKids.How-ever, each year we have anumber of children wesimply cannot place.”

That’s where the Holi-day Elves program, in ex-istence for more than 20years, comes into play.Sanders said private do-nors are matched with achild ages 2 to 15.

“We don’t expect ourelves to be the end all foreach child, butwe ask thattheyhelpmake things justa bit brighter,” he said.“Weask that theelvespro-vide basic needs likesocks, shoes, coats andun-derwear, then perhapsadd a gift or a toy.”

Thosewhosignup tobean elf, are given adescrip-tion of the child includinghis or her age, grade, in-terests and clothing sizes.After purchasing the giftthe donor can drop it off,wrappedorunwrapped, atthecenterateitherschool.The center will pass thegifts along to the child’sfamily for ChristmasDay.

“It is just onedayout ofthe year, but it’s a day thata child can get that oppor-tunity to forget abouttheir difficult circum-stances,” Sanders said.“This isanopportunity forthem to feel good aboutthemselves and their par-ents and that impactstheir feelingsaboutschooland to me that’s impor-tant.”

Sanders said this year,almost 70 children havebeen identified for theprogram.Toparticipate inthe program and help achild in need, contactSanders at 859-261-9073orrob.sanders

@bellevue.kyschools.us.Drusilla Bricking of

Bellevue said she thinksthe program iswonderful.She is a volunteer whohelps distribute the donat-ed gifts.

“Without this programtherewouldbealotofchil-dren out there whowouldn’t get gifts,” shesaid.

According to Bricking,the children and their par-ents appreciate the pro-gram.

“It means a lot to thosewho are helped, she said.“With this program par-ents are able to get whatthey need for their chil-dren and that means theworld to them.”

The best part of it all,according to Sanders, isthe outpouring of appreci-ation.

“My favorite part iswhen it’s over,” Sanderssaid. “Our office is flood-ed with thank you notesfrom the little guys andtheir parents.”

A6 • ALEXANDRIA RECORDER • DECEMBER 12, 2013 NEWS

INDEPENDENCE —April Deeds knows petscan help veterans recoverfrom post-traumaticstress disorder, becauseshe’s seen itworkwithherhusband, Sam, a retiredMarine who served in Af-ghanistan.

She wants other veter-

ans to have the same com-fort, so she has started anorganization to help themget pets of their own, andat the same time, they’llbe rescuing shelter ani-mals from imminentdeath.

Abandoned Pets ForWounded Vets, online atwww.ap4wv.org and onthe group’s Facebookpage, is the first step to-

ward letting the veteransand the shelter animalshelp each other.

The nonprofit is orga-nized under Paws andClaws Animal Rescue inHebron, run by animaltrainer Angie More.

Deeds said up to 4 mil-lion pets are euthanizedeach year, and more than8,000 veterans a yearcommit suicide.

“We hope to team thetwo up and reduce thosestatistics dramatically,”she said.

Now she needs spon-sors and donations sothere is no cost to the vet-erans.

“There’snowherenear-by that does anything likethis, until now, but veter-ans all over the worldcould use this kind ofhelp,” said Deeds. “Youdon’t see thewounds frompost-traumatic stress dis-order that veterans have,so they don’t think theyneed a therapy dog. But Isee the way our dogs goaround Sam, and they dohelp. They sense how he’sfeeling and crowd aroundhim. They do calm him.”

According to the U.S.Department of Veterans

Affairs, online atwww.ptsd.va.gov, “Own-ing a dog can lift yourmood or help you feel lessstressed. Some peoplewith post-traumaticstress disorder find thatservice dogs or emotionalsupport dogs help themmanage PTSD symptoms.Research to support theseclaims is still at an earlystage.”

Deeds has four dogs,one of which is in trainingas a therapy dog, as wellas six cats and two chil-dren at home.

Potential therapy dogslike Addy, a three-leggedpit bull mix, start theirtraining by becoming cer-tified as a Canine GoodCitizen by the AmericanKennel Club.

More said the training

costs from $400 to $800,which she said is out ofreach for most veterans.

“Weworkwith the tem-perament and energy lev-el of the dog,” said More.“The training makes surethat they stay calm andunder control as they’reexposedtodifferentsitua-tions and environments.”

“It’s not that dogs canreplace medicine andtherapy,” said Deeds. “It’sa different kind of medi-cine.Whenaveteran feelslike no one else cares, adog always cares and adog is always there nomatter what. We can savethe dogs from euthaniza-tion, and then they comeand save the veteran.”

BOWLING GREEN — After a1-4 start to the 2013 season, theNewport Central Catholic HighSchool football teamnevergavein, instead focusing on constantimprovement as players andcoaches fought for a return tripto familiar territory.

The Thoroughbreds faced ateam with similar determina-tion Dec. 7, and although the‘Breds didn’t give in, they fellshort of their third state cham-pionship in four years. New-Cath fell 34-26 to Louisville De-Sales in the Class 2A state finalat Western Kentucky Univer-sity.

“It’s rough right now,” NCCsenior quarterback Mac Fran-zen said. “We had a great sea-son. It’s been the best seasonwith these guys andwehad a lotof fun. We battled today but fella little bit short.”

The game spoiled a careerday from senior receiver Tom-my Donnelly, who had ninecatches for 203 yards and twotouchdowns. Several of thosegrabs were tough plays in traf-fic a step or two inside the side-line. The yardage is a newschool record.

“Hehadagreat game,”Fran-zen said. “He came up huge forme tonight and we had a goodconnection. Theyput him in sin-gle coverage and we were justtaking advantage of it.”

Franzen completed 16-of-26passes for 318 yards and threescores, including one to Bran-donGray.Theyardagewasaca-reer high.

The Thoroughbreds trailed34-13 heading into the fourthquarter after some what-ifplays went against them. New-Cath failed to score on a fourth-and-goal at the end of the firsthalf, and also had a fumble inDeSales territory at the 27.NewCath also had a kickoff re-turn touchdown from JacobSmith called back by a holdingpenalty.

Following the fumble at the27-yard line, DeSales struckquicklywith a 73-yard run fromDylan Byrd, who had 142 yardsfor the game and more than2,000 for the season. That madeit 28-13 and DeSales increasedthe lead to 21on its drive after a12-play, 57-yard possession thattook up nearly half the third pe-riod.

The Thoroughbreds cameback in the fourthwith two longtouchdown drives. They went84 yards in 13 plays to make it34-19, the key play a 38-yardcatch by Donnelly. Gray fin-ished it with an 11-yard TDcatch.

Two possessions later, NCCwent 79 yards on seven plays,with Franzen completing ballsto four different receivers, in-cludinga27-yardstrike toGray.Donnelly drew a pass-interfer-ence penalty on the drive andscored on a 14-yard pass play.The extra-point made it 34-26with 1:27 to go in the game.

John Caudill attempted anonside kick which had a goodhigh hop that gave the Breds achance to recover, but the Coltsgot the ball andwere able to runout the clock.

“Getting in before the halfwould have been a huge mo-

mentum swing, and (then) get-ting the ball back in the secondhalf,” Franzen said. “That wascrucial.”

Jack Sutkamp unofficiallyhad11solo tackles and seven as-sists for the game, breakingNCC’s school record with 209.5for the season. He also had six

rushes for 25 yards.“There’s a lot of leadership

here and they’ll keep the tradi-tion going,” said Sutkamp, asenior. “It’s really hard to leavehere without a state champion-ship.”

Franzen ended up with 2,301yardsfor theseasonand27TDs,

ending in the top five in severalschool passing categories.Smith, who had 56 yards rush-ing, posted 1,010 for the year.

“Itwasafunseason,obvious-lymaking it to the state champi-onship and there is going to be alot toremember,especiallywiththese seniors,” Franzen said.

“I’ll never forget some of thesegames: Last gameof the season,a 21-point comeback (againstBeechwood), that’s obviouslyhuge, then last week doubleovertime (49-48 win over Som-erset).”

Dan Wagner, in his first sea-son as head coach after a longtenure as an assistant, is readyto take another shot at it nextyear.

“I couldn’t ask formore thantheygaveme,” the coach said ofhis players. “Wehad a good run.How many times have we beenon this field. It’s our goal to getback here again next year.”

A publication of

In the Nov. 28 CommunityRecorder, Ted Smith attackedRepublican candidate MattBevin for challenging U.S.Sen. Mitch McConnell. I foundSmith’s arguments bizarre.

Smith stated, “Based on teaparty House and Senate mem-bers’ recent behavior in Con-gress, Dr. Seuss looks good.Maybe Bevin is a Democratmole.”

Does Smith not know thatDr. Seuss was an anti-capital-ist, anti-religion communist?Republican and former presi-dential candidate Rick Santo-rumwrote, “Dr. Seuss is awell-known liberal, commu-nist author of children’sbooks, and his lessons havebeen polluting the minds ofgenerations of Americanswith their tales of Sneetchorgies and Lorax tree-hug-ging.”

Why does Smith prefer acommunist over a freedom-loving American?

According to Smith, “Bevinlost my vote when he an-nounced his opposition toSenator Mitch McConnell.”Excuse me? Does Smith un-derstand that Bevin is run-ning against McConnell?Smith must still believe in theRepublican Party’s 11th Com-mandment, “Thou shalt notspeak ill of any fellow Repub-lican.”

In 1976, Reagan challengedsitting Republican PresidentGerald Ford. Reagan aban-doned this “commandment”after several primaries andfocused on telling the truthabout Ford. He decided truthtrumped blind party loyalty.

I wonder if Smith calledReagan a “Democrat mole” or“stupid” or accuse him ofdriving progressive “centristand moderate voters away?”Ford and the RINOs won theprimary, but lost the generalelection. Americans weretortured with Jimmy Carterfor four years. Reagan waslater successful, but wastedhis first four years cleaningup Carter’s and the DEMO-RINOmess.

Smith also stated, “Second,tea partiers have injectedcandidates into Republican

primaries,defeated theRepublicans,then lost thegeneral elec-tions to theDemocrats.”So why didTea Partycandidateswin the pri-mary? Theywon because

voters chose freedom-lovingprinciples over RINO pro-gressive principles. I don’tthink Smith is upset with theTea Party as much as he’supset with “stupid” voterswho vote for freedom-lovingcandidates. Is it freedomsfault that voters elect marx-ist, socialist and communistcandidates? Freedom is notthe villain here. DEMO-RI-NOs are.

Besides, it’s Americansduty to engage in politicaldebate. In 1776, patriot JohnJay fought for reconciliationwith Great Britain. He evenretired from Congress ratherthan sign the Declaration ofIndependence. He later re-joined the cause and wrote theFederalist Papers with JamesMadison and Alexander Ham-ilton urging the passage of theU.S. Constitution. Spiritedpolitical debate based on prin-ciple is good. Blind loyalty toa party gave us Bob Dole,JohnMcCain, Mitt Romney,David Williams, Ritchie Farm-er andMitch McConnell.

Albert Einstein seemed tobe talking about SenatorMcConnell’s 30-year politicalcareer when he said, “Wecannot solve our problemswith the same thinking weused when we created them.”McConnell represents fewerfreedoms, more taxes, in-crease in debt ceiling, amnes-ty, bailouts, and funding forObamaCare. Einstein knewMcConnell can’t solve ourproblems so why do we?

The jury’s still out on Bev-in. Let’s do our homework.

In light of the extensivecoverage in the Enquirer re-garding the CVG Airport

Board, I felt itwas time toprovide myperspective onadditionalboard repre-sentation thatis necessaryfor our com-munity’sgrowth.

You may beaware that all8,000 acres of

the Cincinnati/Northern Ken-tucky International Airport(CVG) are in Boone County,but you might not know thatthe Kenton County AirportBoard is the owner of the air-port. For that reason, BooneCounty does not appoint even

one of the voting members ofthe Airport Board. With all theissues surrounding CVG, Iwant to address some ques-tions that are often asked.

First, I want to make it per-fectly clear that Boone Countydeserves and needs more rep-resentation on the board and Iam an advocate for that tohappen. More than 50 yearsago when this airport wasformed, Boone County did notchoose to partner with KentonCounty but things are verydifferent today. CurrentlyBoone County is a strong andvibrant County that many oth-er communities try to emulate.We are a leader locally, region-ally, and nationally. We havemuch to offer CVG and somuch at stake.

The makeup of the CVGboard is determined by state

statute and can only bechanged by the state legisla-ture and the governor. Underthe current state law, KRS 183,the seven voting members areappointed by the Kenton Coun-ty judge-executive and one ofthese must be a Boone Countyresident. The Boone Countyjudge-executive appoints noneof the seven voting membersof the Airport Board. Thereare 11 advisory board membersand the Boone County judge-executive appoints one of thesemembers. As I hope you agree,this is not acceptable.

There are many issues sur-rounding CVG and in my lim-ited space I will deal with acouple. Of course the recentcontroversy surroundingboard travel and expenses isnot acceptable. A progressiveand unified board must put in

place the necessary policiesand procedures to limit theseabuses and guarantee resultsthat are in keeping with ourcommunity’s expectations andethical standards.

Next, Boone County’s rec-ord-setting economic devel-opment and job creation isfueled by our proximity to theinternational airport. For oursuccess to continue wemustaddress high fares, some of themost expensive in the nation,and the need for additionalflights to key cities. Most com-panies, new or existing, attri-bute CVG as a primary reasonwhy they located or expandedhere. Our airport must con-tinue to serve that role for ourregion while being competitivewith our peers.

And finally, with the coun-ty’s completion of Aero Park-

way and Bushelman Boule-vard, new land is available andmore attractive for airport-related industry and corporatecampuses. By partnering withour Tri-County Economic De-velopment Organization (Tri-ED), CVG can add a compo-nent of large acreage devel-opment sites, not provided byprivate developers, withoutadding to sprawl and conges-tion in other parts of our com-munity. These sites can pro-vide new revenue to CVG andour community while creatinggood paying jobs.

For these things to be ac-complished strong leadershipis required. Our resources andleadership here in Boone Coun-ty can help make this happen.

As I type, I am sitting inChampaign, Ill. having recentlywelcomed our newest familymember, my nephew, Sutton

James Har-meyer. He wasborn, Tuesday,Dec. 2, 2013, atapproximately3:35 p.m. Ourfamily rejoicedat the wonder-ful Christmasgift we had re-ceived.

Yet, just oneshortday laterIwould get the

news thatmydearest friendhadlost her mother after losing herfather a little more than a yearago. My heart was breaking forher,andthefamily.And,anotherdear friendhadrecently lostherhusband in the Rumpke truckaccident just a few weeks ago.

The timing of these events iswhat stands out in my mindmost. The Christmas season. Atime for joy, caroling, Christ-mas walks, baking cookies andshopping.Noneofwhichamoth-er with a newborn, a daughtergrieving the lossofaparent, orawidowmissing her husband thisChristmas season is likely towant to do.

I am grateful this time of

year that there is a gift I canshare with those I love that willalways provide comfort, and aquiet joythatremindsusthatre-gardless of what happens dur-ing the year, the peace of theholiday season can still be oursif we look in the right place.

Most will agree that experi-encing the true peace and joy ofthe holidays does not come inbuying just the right Christmasgift, orchestrating the perfectparty, or baking the perfectcookie.

Butwhat is it?Thekey to trueand lasting peace during thisChristmas season is experienc-ing the presence ofGod.And it’sthe presence of God that willbring peace to the new mother(with a 2-year-old in the house),the grieving daughter, and thelonely widow.

The Bible says, “You willkeep him in perfect peace,whosemind is stayedonyou, be-cause he trusts in you.” (Isaiah26:3)

Itmay not be an easy thing todo in the midst of chaos, but ifwerememberacoupleof strate-gies, true and lasting peace canbe ours.

Focus on God. Perfect peacecan be found when we fix oureyes on Jesus. Focusing on ourstruggles and pain will only

magnify our struggles and pain.Focusing on Jesus magnifiesHim and the peace that he canand wants to provide.

Meditate on what he says.Ephesians 2:14 says, “For hehimself is our peace….”

I recently found a note I hadwritten in my Bible, but am un-sureofwherethe teachingcamefrom. It simply says, “Everydaytell Jesus you receive the bless-ings that he has set aside foryou. Ask him to take care of thematters that burden you, andshine through you so that othersmay see his love illuminatingthrough you.”

This has been a powerfulprayer forme. God is waiting totake care of the things that bur-den you and illuminate his lovein and through you. I pray thatallwhoread this, experience theperfect gift of peace this Christ-mas season. Especially, myfriend Jen.

Northern Kentucky resi-dents are heeding thecalling of Gene Record.

That’s when they head to La-tonia’s Promenade Palace onTuesday to square dance.

Kathy Lusher of Cold SpringandherhusbandAlareregulars.

“The three main things oflearning to square dance is lis-ten to thecaller, listen to thecall-er and listen to the caller,” Lush-er said.

Record, who lives in ColdSpring, said he has been callingdances for 47 years.

Promenade Palace at Ritte’sCorner in Latonia, 3630 Decour-seyAve., is one of the last placesin the Cincinnati area wheresquare dancers continue to reg-ularly meet, Record said. Thesquare dancing hall was openedin 1981.

Record calls to the dancersusing a microphone as hewatches from a raised stage.

“Here we go ... side couplesup to the middle and back. Turntwo. Cloverleaf. Slide through.TurnTwo.Carefullydoapartnertrade.”

Record said his style of call-ing is known asmodernwesternsquare dancing because thedancers don’t know ahead oftime what moves he will com-mand them toperform.Dancerswill often perform a dozen dif-ferent calls during the course ofa song. In traditional squaredancing, the caller tells dancerswhatsongtheywilldanceto,andtheyknowtheroutine for theen-tire song.

And the songs aren’t just allcountry – Michael Jackson’s“Beat It” is among the amongthe music played, he said.

Square dancing is not onlygood physical exercise, it’s amental exercise to strengthenthe mind at any age, Recordsaid.

“Mentally, you have to reallylisten,” he said. “Aswe get olderwe don’t use our brains like weshould.”

TheTuesdaynightdancesareforanadvancedgroup,butthereare other sessions for beginnerclasses and tandem squaredancing groups, he said.

“We’ll teachyouyour left footfrom your right foot when youcome here,” Record said.

Bob Thola of Union said hiswife Irene brought him tosquare dance lessons after theygot engaged. They have beenmarried for 28 years. Thola saidhe didn’t know how to squaredance at the the time, but nowthey go dancing two or threetimes a week because they likeit.

“It’s fun to be able to followwhat the caller is calling,” hesaid. “It’s good exercise. Wemadea lot of friendsdoing this.”

Repetition makes followingthe caller easier, Thola said.

“You see how fast he’s sayingall these things?” he said.“You’ve got to execute themright away without messingthem up.”

Don Maddux of CherryGrove, Ohio, said when dancersmessup theymust laugh insteadof saying they are sorry or riskmessing up further.

Square dancers are alwayslearning new moves, so itdoesn’t get old, Maddux said.

“I just started 40 years ago,

and I’m still having a blast,” hesaid.

Victor and Linda McAtee ofIndependence started squaredancing in 2007. Square dancingis a good way to communicatewith other people and be social,said Victor McAtee.

“We like the friendship, andwe like theexercise,”hesaid. “Itstimulates our mind.”

Washing-ton leadsour nationin pearproduc-tion.

Pearsare anexcellentsource ofdietaryfiber. Thesix grams

of fiber in a medium pearwith the skin provides 24percent of the recom-mended daily allowance.

Few things beat thesweet juice of a freshpear dripping from yourfingers on a chilly fallday.

According to USAPears, pears are one ofthe world’s oldest culti-vated fruits. Early colo-nists introduced the firstpear trees to America’seastern settlements.Today, commercial pearproduction is centered inthe West and PacificNorthwest where grow-ing conditions are ideal.

Pears are a good sourceof vitamin C. They alsoprovide potassium andabout 100 calories in amedium pear. The nutri-tion in pears helps withheart health.

Pears come in manycolors from green toyellow to red to rust.Pears ripen best off thetree. Pears are fully ma-ture when sold in thestore but are not neces-sarily ripe. To fully ripena pear at home, leave itout at room temperature.Bartlett pears changecolor from green to yel-low as they ripen. Othervarieties including An-jou, Bosc, Comice, andSeckel do not changecolor much as they ripen.The best way is to “checkthe neck.” Gently pressnear the stem with your

thumb. When it gives togentle pressure it is ripe.If you wait until the pearis soft around the middleit is overripe.

Once pears are fullyripe they will usuallykeep for 3-5 days in therefrigerator. Pears willnot ripen properly in therefrigerator.

Bosc and Anjou arebest for poaching, bakingand grilling because oftheir dense flesh. Barlettand Comice are besteaten out of hand or usedin salads, salsas, andother uncooked applica-tions. Overripe pears canbe used in smoothies orsauces.

The next time you areshopping for producetake a look at all of thevarieties of pears avail-able. Pick a few and ex-plore their wonderfulflavor and texture.

Beat the chillwith a fresh pear

DianeMasonEXTENSIONNOTES

Author Loua-na Plunkett hasresided in GrantCounty for al-most 16 years.When decidingwhere to put hercharacters, shethought, “Whynot right here?”

And so“Hollywood Lies” takesthe reader to Dry Ridgewhere a famous actressdecides to hide whileseeking to separate her-self from all the charac-ters she has portrayedand find outwho she real-ly is.Therealchallenge istrying to keep everyoneelse from figuring it out!

Plunkett grew upreading romance booksas did many other wom-en, but her real desirewas to write them.

“It is exciting tocreatepeople and their lives,”she said. “You can stepinto the stories rightalong with your charac-ters as you do with read-ing, but in this way youget to decide how theywill interact and respondin any situation that youcan imagine.”

“Hollywood Lies” isthe second book of a se-

ries entitled Se-crets. In bothbooks,amainchar-acter is seeking anultimate and abso-lute truth fromwhich to build apurposeful life,but at the sametime struggleswith being able to

tell the simple truth.“Most often I find that

people stumble over fig-uring things out becausethey haven’t figuredthemselves out yet,” shesaid. “So often we tend tolook around at others in-steadof looking inwardatourselves.”

As a Christian, Plun-kett believes that self-ex-amination is a lifelongpursuit.

Plunkett lives in Cor-inth, Kentucky with herhusband and youngdaughter.When she is notwriting,Plunkett is learn-ing how to raise chickensandNigeriandwarf dairygoats and trying to keepup with her six (soon-to-be seven) grandchildren.

Both books are avail-ableonmostbooksites in-cluding Amazon.comwhich offers the Kindleversion.

Author’s second bookset in Grant County

In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of ScubaSanta’sWaterWonderland,a pair of rare white Amer-ican Alligators will be atthe Newport Aquarium.

The white alligators,Snowflake and Snowball,will call the RainforestExhibit their homethroughout the WaterWonderland experiencethrough Jan. 1, except forChristmas Day. Each ga-tor measures roughly sixfeet in length, with the

female Snowflake weigh-ing about 65 pounds andthe male Snowball weigh-ing 85 pounds. Snowflakeand Snowball are two ofless than100 knownwhitealligators in the world.

Duke Energy offeredinformation to help cus-tomers save energy andmoney during the holidayseason and cold weathermonths.

“Holiday displays arefun for families and com-munities, but can also addsignificantly to monthlypower bills,” said GayleLanier, Duke Energy sen-ior vice president andchief customer officer.“Fortunately, there are anumber of efficient, bud-get-friendly lighting op-tions available to helpcontrol costs during theholiday season.”

Six 100-bulb sets oflarge, incandescent bulbs(600 bulbs total) pluggedin six hours every eve-ning can addup to $80 to amonthly power bill.

By comparison, six100-bulb sets of similarlystyled light-emittingdiode (LED) bulbs wouldincrease amonthlypowerbill by only about $7. Us-ing six 100-bulb sets ofmini-LED bulbs would in-crease a monthly powerbill by only $1.

Customers can esti-mate their holiday light-ing costs using a calcula-tor on Duke Energy’swebsite: www.duke-ener-gy.com/lightscalculator.

Holiday lighting re-minders:

»Before installinglights, check each set –new and old – for dam-aged sockets, loose con-nections and frayed orbarewires. Discard or re-place damaged sets be-fore using.

»Never usemore thanthree standard-sized setsof lights per extension

cord.» Plug exterior lights

into ground-fault inter-ruptible (GFI) outletsonly. If the home lacksoutside GFI outlets, callan electrician to installthem.

»Dust your light bulbsregularly, as dirt absorbslight and wastes energy.

»Before climbing aladder, inspect it to en-sure it’s in good workingcondition and follow theweight limits specified onthe ladder. Ladders thatlean against a wall or oth-er support should be an-gled so the horizontal dis-tance from the top sup-port to the foot of the lad-der is about one-quarterthe working length of theladder.Neverusea ladderfor any purpose otherthan for what it’s de-signed. Also, never use aladder on or near powerlines.

Cooking EfficiencyReminders:

»Open your oven dooras little as possible. Youroven loses 25 to 50 de-grees Fahrenheit eachtime you open the door,making it work harder tomaintain its temperature.

» Preheat ovens onlywhen necessary.

» Coverpans to reducethe cooking time andamount of heat needed.

»Use smaller appli-ances, such as crock pots,toaster ovens and electricskillets whenever possi-ble to save energy.

»Operate your dish-washer with a full loadand select an energy-sav-ing cyclewhenever possi-ble. Use the “air dry” or“overnight dry” setting.

»Don’t use the “rinsehold”onyourmachineforjust a few soiled dishes. Ituses three to seven gal-lons of water each time.

Winter Efficiency Re-minders:

» The thermostat is areal culprit of higherwin-ter bills. To help save en-ergy and money, selectthe lowest comfortablesetting when home, andbump the thermostatdown a degree or twowhen leaving home.

»Regular servicecallsfrom a licensed techni-cian will help to properlymaintain your heatingand cooling system.

» The ceiling fan in thehome is a great way tostay cool in the summer –and warm in the winter.Simply set the fans to op-erate inaclockwisedirec-tion, which pushes warmair back down into theroom.

»On sunny days, leaveyour drapes or blindsopen to allow the sun’srays to warm the house.

The Carnegie’s 2013-2014 Gallery Season con-tinues in December withthe opening of six new ex-hibitions on Friday, Dec.13, with a reception from6-9 p.m.

On display in The Car-negie’s Ohio National Fi-nancial Services Gallerywill be“TakeItFromMe,”the first major retrospec-tive exhibition of work bylate local artist RonThomas. The body ofwork combines precisegeometry with a concur-rent interest in spiritual-ityandmysticism.Theex-hibition is the first to befully curated by The Car-negie’s ExhibitionsDirec-tor Matt Distel, who as-sumed the position thispast June.

The gallery is at 1028Scott Blvd.

“Ron was an incrediblyprolific and meticulousartist,” said Distel. “How-ever,hisworkwent largelyunseenbythebroaderpub-lic. Many factors contrib-uted to this situation, butultimately this is a body ofwork that is extremelycompelling and deservesto be assessed in the con-text of other paintersworking in the region.”

Opening reception at-tendees are invited to takepart in a special previewconversation with Disteland the family of RonThomas from 5:30-6 p.m.about the late artist’s lifeand career. A complimen-tary cocktail will be pro-vided during the discus-sion.

In The Carnegie’s up-stairs galleries there arefive additional shows in-cluding the Northern Ken-tucky Printmakers (for-merly the Northern Ken-tucky University PrintClub) exhibition, “So TheySay: Wisdom and Foolish-ness.” This group exhibi-tion is comprised of workby alumni, students, facul-tyandfriendsof theNorth-ern Kentucky UniversityPrint Department.

In addition to the groupshow, a variety of soloshows will also be on dis-

play including “GenusMa-china“ by Andrew Dailey,comprised of a series ofdrawings depicting ficti-tious animal/machine hy-brids that reflect the rela-tionship between natureand the man-made; artistTrishWeeks’s“SpeakingofColor” which displays hersignature work portrayingexpressionist views of na-ture created by combiningsimple compositions andcomplex layers of color;DavidHartz,whose“draw-ings” were made by burn-ing the paper to create im-ages and are paired withplayful sculptures; andKentucky Center Gover-nor’s School for the ArtsCarnegie ScholarshipWin-ner, Rachel Birrer, whosework is primarily focused

onaspectsof thehorserac-ing industry, many timesusing a riding crop to cre-ate her work rather than atraditional paintbrush.

“As gallery patronshave come to expect, thisseries of exhibitions of-fers something for every-one,” said Distel. “TheCarnegie has brought to-gether thirty-one artiststhat represent a truecross section of the typework that we feel meritscritical dialogue.”

Gallery hours arenoon-5 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday until Friday,Feb. 14.
