would bestdescribe hisfather, the lateWilliam E. Durr.

“He washard-work ingand loved get-ting involvedwith a lot ofthings, but he

also was a great family man,” saidthe Independence resident. “Hewas very well-rounded and hemade a positive impact on every-one he came into contact with.”

“He loved being with his fami-ly more than anything,” said Roy,who recalled regular family tripsto Lake Cumberland during thesummers. “He was busy witheverything he did, but he alwaysmade time for family.”

PATRICIA A.SCHEYER/CONTRIBUTOR


Eleven incumbents and twonewcomers will square off for thetwelve seats on the Erlanger citycouncil in the Nov. 2 election.

With a rough economy affectingthe city’s budget, maintaining thecity’s services in the face of adversi-ty is the central theme of many can-didates. While the city has takensteps to save money in recent years,including consolidating the emer-gency dispatch service and mergingtheir police department with Cres-cent Springs, many candidates feelthat more may need to be done asthe economy continues to struggle.

Incumbent Randy Blankenship,49, said he wants to look for moreways to consolidate services in thefuture. Blankenship, a member ofthe council for six years, 2002-2006 and 2008 to present, is anattorney in Erlanger.

“We are presently negotiating tomerge dispatch services with Ken-ton County, and by exploring suchopportunities, we can continue toprovide quality services but in anefficient manner,” he said. “Erlangerhas always rightly prided itself onthe high quality of city services, andwe need to continue to search forways to maintain this.”

Newcomer James Brown, 40,said he would address the tightbudget by looking at more econom-ic development in the city. Brown, amember of the Erlanger Volunteersin Police Service, works for OhioNational Financial Services.

“We need to aggressively engagethe business community, both exist-

ing and potential, offering opportu-nities for new businesses,” he said.“We need to demonstrate to newbusinesses our top rate services,unique location and strong welcom-ing community.”Incumbent KevinBurke, 53, said he wants to ensurethe city is spending properly, giventhe economic times. Burke, a mem-ber of the council since 2000, worksfor AC Trucking.

“We need to really work hard atkeeping our streets up to par,because once you get behind, itcosts more and more,” he said. “Wealso need to make sure our policeand fire department are getting whatthey need, because that’s whatmakes our city special.”

Incumbent Tom Cahill, 42, alsosaid that keeping up with road workis a priority for the council. Cahillhas been on council since 2006,and works for Cincinnati Children’sHospital.

“(Roads) have been addressed,but we need oversight to ensure thatwe are getting the most for themoney we’re putting out,” he said.“But I’m proud of the unique waysthe leadership team has been able tothink outside the box to maintainessential services in these tryingtimes.”

Incumbent John, “JD” Dunhoft,58, pointed out that the city didraise the payroll tax this year to help

maintain city services, and othertough decisions may be in order.Dunhoft, a member of the councilsince 1994, works for U.S. Bank.

“We did that to help offset thecosts of fixing our streets and tohelp out budget,” he said. “It wasn’ta popular idea, but the council hadto do something with the economicsituation we’re all in.”

Incumbent Keith Henry, 58, saidhe will push to get new businessesinto the city. Henry, a member of thecouncil for 16 years, currentlyserves on the city’s public worksand revenue generation committees.

“We need to attract new busi-nesses to our industrial park andbring more hometown businessesinto our smaller shopping areas,” hesaid. “This will help the city have abetter tax base.”

Incumbent Bill Howard, 57, saidhe’d like to see the city look forother ways to raise revenue besidesraising taxes. Howard, a member ofthe council from 1993 to 2002 andre-elected in 2005, works for TANK.

“I’m not totally opposed to rais-ing taxes, I am opposed to raisingthem beyond the necessary amountthat is needed to keep servicesgoing,” he said. “We need to be sen-sitive to every person in the com-munity and their economic situa-tion.”

Newcomer, Stephen Knipper, 40,said the city needs a new perspec-tive when looking at their budgetand the growth of the city. Knipperworks at Mercy Hospital and is alsoa member of the Northern KentuckyBoard of Adjustments.

However, he saved mostof his passion for the Ken-ton County Fair, where heserved as director of theboard for 24 years. Duringthis time, he helped coordi-nate the moving of the fairto its current location, aswell as expanding it and

making it the large, annualevent it it today.

“Oh man - he lovedbeing involved with thefair,” said Roy. “He wouldstart working on thatmonths before it happened.It didn’t matter what neededto be done - he was alwayswilling to do it if it wasgoing to help the fair.”

And even as director ofthe board, Roy said hisfather didn’t mind rolling upthe sleeves and getting dirty

if he had to.“He did a lot of things

that he didn’t have to to,but he did anyways justbecause of his passion,” hesaid. “He never wanted todo it for credit or attention.”

Indeed, Roy said hisfather tried to shy awayfromt he attention hereceived when the KentonCounty Library named theirnew Independence Branchafter him, dedicating it in2007.

The library is just one ofa few building in NorthernKentucky that bear the“Durr” name, including theR.C. Durr YMCA in Burling-ton named for his brother,and the Steve W. Durr Cen-ter of the Kenton CountyCooperative Extension

Office, which is named afterhis father.

“It’s a huge honor for ourfamily to see his name onthat building, because hedeserved it for everythinghe did,” said Roy.

“We’ve received a lot ofcommunity support from allof the people he’s tocuhed,and we’re so grateful forthat. He was a great manand a great father, and he’sgoing to be missed.”

plague our city, and the solu-tion is not to raise payrolltaxes and property taxes,” hesaid. “Our city needs a newfocus, and I have a plan togrow responsibly while keep-ing our heritage.”

Incumbent Vicki Kyle saidthe city could look into taxincentives as a way to attractmore businesses to the city tohelp the budget. Kyle, amember of the council since1996, is a teacher at St.Henry District High School.

“We need to encouragemore businesses to open inErlanger, and we need to helpthem in any way we can,”she said. “The budget isextremely important, and ittakes planning and workingtogether to make sure wemanaging the citizens’money well.”

Incumbent Shane Long-shore, 30, said he’s beenproud of the city’s effortsthroughout a tough economy,and wants to see that contin-ue. Longshore, in his firstterm on council, works forSiemens Healthcare.

“Our city has repeatedlyshowed a strong sense of fis-cal responsibility in all thatwe do,” he said. “I will con-tinue to limit spending while

still providing our residentswith the great services wehave come to know.”

Incumbent Corine Pitts,48, said she wants to look atunfunded mandates that arepassed down to local govern-ments and can hurt theirbudgets. Pitts, a member ofcouncil since 2006, works forthe Diocese of Covington.

“We are trying to keep ourpresence known in Frankfortas much as possible to keepthem from passing more leg-islation that siphon moneyfrom the cities,” she said.“We’re also currently work-ing on getting a unified taxform for Northern Kentuckyto prevent the state from tak-ing it over, because if thishappens, cities could losemoney.”

Incumbent Renee Skid-more, 56, said she wants tosee more citizen involvementand better communicationwith the residents. Skidmore,a member of the council since2006, works for the UnitedStates Postal Service.

“Too many times weannounce meetings, taxes orordinances...only to have cit-izens later say they neverknew about it,” she said.“We’ve worked diligently on

the newsletter and city Website, but there is always roomfor improvement.”

Incumbent Patty Sued-kamp, 65, said the city needsto continue to push economicdevelopment as they look togrow the budget. A memberof the council since 1998,Suedkamp currently serveson the finance committee andis a member of the ErlangerVolunteers in Police Service.

“No one likes taxes raised,but our job as a city is to pro-vide the best services we canto the residents, and some-times that requires toughdecisions,” she said.

“But I do think the city ison the right track, and we justneed to keep working hard tomake sure the city is in goodshape.”

Incumbent Jim Burgeroriginally filed for the elec-tion, but has since moved outof the city and will not berunning. Mayor Tom Rousewill run unopposed.

Incumbent MikeSadouskas and formercouncilman Mike Martinwill square off for the VillaHills’ mayor’s seat in theNov. 2 election.

In addition to the typicalissues such as city spendingand infrastructure that areat the heart of many racesthis year, one of the big sto-ries of the race will be thefact the Martin currentlyhas a lawsuit pendingagainst Villa Hills PoliceChief Dan Goodenough andDetective Joe Schutzman.

The suit, which has nowbeen filed in the Sixth Cir-cuit Court of Appeals afterbeing dismissed by a federaljudge earlier this year,alleges that Martin was“maliciously prosecuted”when he was arrested bySchutzman in December of2007 on charges of seconddegree forgery.

The forgery charges weredismissed in Kenton DistrictCourt in February 2008,with Judge DouglasGrothaus citing “lack ofprobable cause,” whichprompted Martin’s suit.There is no timetable for theappeal proceedings.

“I know the lawsuit is anunusual thing during anelection and I know it willbe brought up, but to me,they are separate issues,”said Martin, who served oncity council from 2005-2008.

“The lawsuit has nothingto do with my candidacy.We live in a country whereif you feel you’re wronged,you can ask a judge tomake a decision, and that’s

what I’ve done.”However Sadouskas,

who has been mayor since2001, disagrees.

“To me, having someonewho is running for mayorand also suing the city isproblematic,” he said. “Idon’t know how you canask for votes when you’vegot this lawsuit out there,and I think it’s somethingthat should be a factor invoters’ minds.”

Outside of the lawsuit,both candidates agree thatmaintaining a tight budgetwill be important in thecoming years, given the ris-ing costs of many servicesand a bad economy that isaffecting revenue.

Martin, 48, said he isrunning for office becausehe feels the city needs newleadership as they look forways to improve city spend-ing.

Martin is a former chair-man of the city’s adminis-trative committee and isself-employed with QualityHome Services Inc.

“Our revenue is notgrowing at the pace thatexpenses are, and we mustfind ways to cut costs andfind better values,” he said.“I believe there is room toreduce spending which willhelp with our city’s financialrestraints.”

Sadouskas, 54, coun-tered that the city hasalready undertaken severalcost-cutting measures andis always looking for waysto maximize their service.

Sadouskas, who was acouncilman for four yearsbefore becoming mayor, isthe Director of Developmentat St. Xavier High School.

“We’ve reduced the

administrative payroll by$90,000 per year over thelast four years,” he said.“We have been proactivelooking for ways to reducecosts without downgradingservices.”

City spending has been ahot button issue in recentyears, centering around thecouncil’s 2007 vote toincrease the city’s vehiclesticker tax from $8 to $40to raise money for roadrepairs. The tax generatesapproximately $230,000each year.

“Our city engineer toldus we need to be spendingabout $600,000 -$700,000 each year on ourroads, so we’re not wherewe need to be,” said Martin.“We won’t get there rightaway, but I think the moneyis in the budget to spendmore than we are rightnow.”

In response, Sadouskaspointed out that the city’sresidential tax burden is thesecond-lowest in KentonCounty, according to a sur-vey done by the NorthernKentucky Area Develop-ment District, meaning thecity spends their moneyefficiently.

“We’ll continue to lookfor ways to work with thecounty and neighboringcities to be more economicaland efficient,” he said. “Butwe won’t do anything if itmeans a significant down-grade in services to our res-idents.”

The winner of the elec-tion will work with at least afew of the current councilmembers, as all six incum-bents and two challengershave filed to run for the sixseats.

A grant from St. TimothyParish in Union is helpingthe Notre Dame Urban Edu-cation Center in Covington.

The center used the grantfrom the parish to purchasetwo Wii video game sys-tems, equipment, gamesand two flat-screen televi-sions that will serve asphysical activities for chil-dren. There is no place out-side for physical activity atthe center with it being inan urban area (East EighthStreet in Covington).

Mary Gray, the center’svolunteer coordinator, saidWii has golf, bowling, ski-ing, running and exercisegames.

“We were very blessedthat they gave us the oppor-tunity to purchase this sys-tem so that it’s an integralpart of the whole programthat we have,” she said.“There is the belief that kidsneed to be physically fit.”

The center is a free place

for children in kindergartenthrough eighth grade to goafter school.

Gray said the fall andspring program helps chil-

dren with their homework.She said when their home-work is done the centerworks to improve students’reading and math abilities to

their appropriate gradelevel. She said “the premisebehind it is if kids in theyounger grades are at theappropriate level, they’ll feel

good about themselves,they’ll do better in schooland they’ll want to stay inschool.”

The center has a summerprogram where childrenreceive tutoring. The centeropened this past June andcurrently serves around 30children. It has computersand a library too. The centeris a ministry of the Sistersof Notre Dame’s KentuckyProvince, a Roman Catholicreligious order for women.

The parish awards sixgrants a year up to $3,000each to six Northern Ken-tucky nonprofit groups. Thegrants must have an out-reach component whererepresentatives from theorganization visit the parishduring its four weekendMasses.

Also, parishioners workwith the organization on aproject.

Lesley Duggan, theparish’s director of outreach,said the center’s applicationwas very well written andspecific for the Wii system.

“So to be able to supportsomething that was goingto be new in the communi-ty, we felt was important,”she said. “They also provid-ed sample ... outreach proj-ects that we could dobecause that’s part of theapplication. They have torecommend at least threeoutreach projects.”

The center hosted a har-vest party Sept. 28 for chil-dren. Duggan said 17 vol-unteers from St. TimothyParish were to be at theparty.

The deadline to apply fornext year’s grants was Oct. 6.

Charlie Goering admits he’s alittle nervous about the upcomingart exhibit at the Carnegie Visualand Performing Arts Center inCovington.

“Anytime you display yourwork, you put yourself out thereand you have to be ready for thefeedback, whether it’s good orbad,” said the Fort Mitchell resi-dent. “But I’m confident in mywork and confident in my abili-ties, and overall, I’m just realexcited for the show.”

But while all of the artists par-ticipating in the “Global Affair”exhibition are excited, what sepa-rates Goering is that the Beech-wood High School senior will bethe youngest artist in the show.

Goering, who specializes insurrealism, will have room to dis-play approximately eight of hisworks, and he said he is still deter-mining which pieces will make thefinal cut.

“It’s an incredible opportunity,”he said. “There’s a lot of work thatgoes into it, but it’s also fun toknow that your work is going tobe out there for everyone to see.”

Indeed, gallery director BillSeitz said Goering’s talent as anartist belies his age, and taking

part in his own show will give hima leg up as he advances furtherinto his art career. Goering is stillnarrowing down his college choic-es, but said he plans to study artand then continue with it as acareer.

“There’s not too many kids hisage who will have the experienceof setting up their own show, sothis really gives him an advan-tage,” said Seitz. “It’s such a com-petitive field these days, so any-thing you can do to separate your-self from the pack is great, andCharlie is well on his way.”

Goering’s selection into theshow actually started this sum-mer, when he was chosen to par-ticipate in the prestigious Gover-nor’s School for the Arts, a three-week course that allows artists towork with different mediums anddevelop their talents. Goering wasone of 223 students selected, outof over 1,600 that applied.

“It’s kind of like an art bootcamp,” said Goering. “You pushyourself to try new things, and itwas great for me to work withsome really talented kids. I know Igot a lot out of it.”

While Goering was at Transyl-vania University for the program,Seitz made a visit to check outsome of the art being produced bythe camp participants, wanting to

get some younger artists involvedwith the Carnegie’s show.

“There were no names on thepieces, so I was just looking at thework itself and judge solely onability, and Charlie’s pieces wereamong those that really stoodout,” he recalled. “You could tellhe had a lot of talent, and we’reglad to be able to have him in ourshow this year.”

The show, which opens Oct. 22and runs through Nov. 23, willfeature a variety of work fromlocal artists, including sculptures,paintings, narratives and evenwork from a group known as “ArtQuilters Anonymous.”

Overall, Seitz said the showwill feature 17 artists, and willattempt to show how art and cul-ture influence visual artists. Theshow will open with a receptionon Oct. 22 from 6-9 p.m.

“It’s really going to be a terrificshow, and we hope everyonecomes out to see it,” he said.

For his part, Goering said he’sjust excited to be able to take part.

“This will be great as far as get-ting exposure and helping to pre-pare me for college,” he said.“This is definitely going to be agood experience for me.”

Joe Fredrick had struggled inrecent weeks.

But with extra practice andinstruction from local coaching leg-end Doug Martin, the CovingtonCatholic senior golfer brought hisbest game at the right time.

Fredrick shot a 75 to lead theColonels to the Region 7 champi-onship Sept. 27 at Boone Links.Cov Cath shot a team score of 317to beat Ryle and Cooper by fourshots. The Colonels won their firstregional title since 2006 and willplay in the state tournament Oct. 8-9 in Bowling Green.

“It’s awesome because (Ryle)

has won it the past three years,”Fredrick said. “Losing the pastthree years and coming back to winit is a great feeling.”

Fredrick, whose best lifetimeround is 72, finished with a flourishby sinking a 50-foot putt from thefringe on 18. He knew the battle forthe team title was close at the time.

“I started getting chills,” he said.“I thought ‘this could be the lastputt of your career, make it count,’and I hit it and I looked up andthought it was going in. It wasamazing.”

Fredrick worked a lot with Mar-tin on swing flaws last week.

“I practiced my tail off for threedays,” Fredrick said. “I knew it wasmy last round ever. I was cominginside on my swing, so he put analignment thing down and I hitabout 300 balls. It took me Satur-day and Sunday to get used to itand my practice round here I shot76 so I felt comfortable.”

Austin Beck was third individu-ally with a 78 for Cov Cath. AlexScanlon and Josh Moorman shot 82and Andrew Kendall.

Scanlon had been the conferencechampion the week before, illustrat-ing the balance the Colonels have intheir lineup.

“We may not have someonewho can shoot a low score everytime, but we have five kids who canput up decent scores every time,which today put us over the top,”head coach Rob Schneeman said.“We have 16 all through the pro-gram, they push each other throughthe whole year. The 16 that are inthe program deserve a lot of creditfor today.”

Dixie Heights senior Jason Rosegrabbed an individual berth into thestate tournament after leading thered Colonels with an 80. Dixie fin-ished fourth overall.

Rose had to play off with twoCooper High School players for twospots. He had to wait more than ahalf hour for Cooper and Ryle toplay off for a team berth into thestate tourney. If Cooper had wonthe playoff, Rose would haveearned his berth automaticallybecause Ryle only had two playersat 80 or better.

On the first hole, Rose had toscramble and make a 10-foot parputt after his opponents were onthe green for birdie putts. On thesecond hole, Rose nailed a 25-footbirdie after an opponent hit a shotin the water.

Rose had five medalist honors

and two third-place showings intourneys. It is his first state tourney.

“It’s awesome. I’m thrilled that Icould finally do this,” Rose said. “Ifelt I played well. I hit the ball real-ly good. I hit some bad shots butoverall it was a good day.”

Notre Dame won its seventhstraight Region 6 girls’ champi-onship Sept. 27 at Eagle Creek inDry Ridge.

Carly Metzger and Ali Cheesmantied for fourth at 82. AngelaPugliano shot 83, Jill Edgington 85and Sydney Swingos 88.

Simon Kenton’s Morgan Larisonshot 81 to finish second and shewill play in the state tournament aswell as the Pandas Oct. 5-6 inBowling Green.

know been affected by bed-bugs. What precautions areyou taking? What solutionshave you tried?

“I and a close friend haveboth dealt personally with bed-bugs. Travel is dangerous now,you just never know, five-starresorts are not even safe. Wehad to take every single item outof our upstairs, all clothes had tobe washed in hot water anddried in a hot dryer or sent to thedry cleaners (over $1,000 forthat), books had to either bethrown out or put into Ziplocbags and placed in the freezer forthree days. We threw out themattress, box spring, headboardand bedside table plus a book-shelf that bedbugs were found.The house was treated for fourmonths, which is very expen-sive. I burned out my vacuumbecause I vacuumed the entirehouse plus base-boards everydayfor six months.They are very hardto get rid of, veryexpensive and timeconsuming! Whenwe now check intoa hotel room, westrip the beds tolook for them,behind the head-board, pictures onthe wall and lamp-shades. Our lug-gage never comesupstairs anymore,all clothes are washed when weget home, immediately. And ourson just went to college, wechecked everywhere we couldbefore we left him ... not sure I’lllet him bring anything home!”

J.R.

“A friend told us it took a yearfor him to get rid of them in hishouse. He got them in a hotel. Weno longer unload suitcases intobureau drawers in hotel roomsand we check mattresses for thesigns. So far, we have been luckynot to have any.”

F.S.D.

“Thank God we haven’t anyproblems with bedbugs, nor do Iknow anyone who has them. I’mkeeping my fingers crossed. Wedon’t frequent hotels or motels,and don’t stay overnight withother people very much, and wedon’t have people visiting much

either, except kids and grandkids.Hopefully we will be spared.”

B.B.

“No bedbugs! No precautions!No solutions! Should I feel reject-ed?”

G.G.

“I personally have had noproblems nor do I have first handknowledge of anyone that has.The biggest precaution we aretaking is not traveling.”

B.N.

“The only infes-tation I have been avictim of lately isthe Democrats.Unemp loymen t .Higher taxes. Unse-cured borders. Gov-ernment mandatedhealth care. Corrup-tion. Socialism.This problem willbe solved on Nov. 2– remember to takeout the trash.”

N.W.S.

“Fo r tuna t e ly,no. I nor any friends have men-tioned bedbugs being a problem.The question to ask is, ‘wouldanyone admit to having bed-bugs?’ Whether the reality is cor-rect, the perception is those hav-ing bedbugs have a dirty homewhich is not the case in manyinstances.

“My daughter and I love toshop at garage sales. For thosewho love to find great buys atgarage sales make sure to checkeach article of clothing and steeraway from mattresses andchairs.”

K.K.

“Several firefighters havepicked up some from haulingpatients to the hospital in anambulance. Many snow birdseaving for Florida say they aregoing to drive straight throughthey are afraid to stop in a motel.”

The greatest leaders of ourtime started somewhere else.

A CEO staring out the glass ofher high rise corner office, a proathlete staring into the eye of aviable opponent, a politician star-ing at a hotly contended race –they each likely arrived at theirplace in life thanks to a commit-ment to hard work and a littlehelp.

The same is true for so manyof our neighbors, family andfriends.

Some of us want to be smallbusiness leaders.

Others long to have happy,healthy families to love and carefor.

Our community’s youngeststudents think about the things

dreams aremade of – grow-ing up to beastronauts, fire-fighters andartists.

Knowing the Cincinnati Redshad a chance to clinch the Nation-al League Central Division titlewith a victory on the night ofSept. 28, my wife and I dressedour 10-month-old daughter in herReds sleeper that evening.

We tuned into the game on tel-evision just in time for the bottomof the ninth to see Jay Bruce hithis division-winning home run tocenter field. (Yes, that late mydaughter was still awake.)

Though she’ll be too young toremember this season, the Redsmaking it back to baseball’s post-season for the first time in 15years reminds me of when theylast won the World Series.

The year was 1990 and I’llnever be able to enjoy a team’spostseason run as much as I didthen.

The reason is simple: Backthen I had the innocence ofyouth. I was 11 years old goingon 12. I was a sixth-grader withvery few responsibilities and wor-ries.

And I’m glad I was that youngto enjoy the Reds championshipthat year. If I had been older, itwouldn’t have been as much fun.There’s something special andgenuine about youth.

Though I never attended anyof the 10 postseason games theReds played that year, I followedit intently. I probably even kept

score of thegames as Iwatched themon television.

Back thenMajor LeagueBaseball stillplayed some ofits postseasongames in theafternoon beforeeverything hadto be on primetime television.Game 2 and

Game 3 of the National LeagueChampionship Series were after-noon games. I’m sure as soon as Igot home from school, the televi-sion immediately was turned ontothose games.

Baseball should have moreafternoon playoff games. I’m sureit wouldn’t make as much televi-sion revenue but the sport wouldbe more accessible to its mostimportant audience – youth.

Other memories of that 1990Reds October include my momtaking my brother and I to WhiteCastle to celebrate the Reds win-ning the World Series.

We kept each edition of TheCincinnati Enquirer that chroni-cled each game. We had T-shirtsfor each title the Reds won thatyear (NL Western Division,National League pennant and theWorld Series).

For Halloween that year Idressed as a Reds fan. I wore ared World Series champions T-shirt with a small broom aroundmy neck.

The broom of course represent-ed the Reds sweeping the Oak-land Athletics in the World Series.My face was painted red andwhite.

This year, I’ll try to watch partsof the games. And I’ll continue tothink of my maternal grandpar-ents who followed the Reds withmore loyalty than I did as a child.I know they are already celebrat-ing from above.

And if it’s a true Reds October,maybe I’ll bust out another Redsfan Halloween costume for myselfas I take my daughter trick-or-treating for the first time. (She’sgoing as a red-and-black ladybug.)

When Mary Catherineand Steve Brooks bought asmall meat locker on MainStreet in Walton in 1985,they hoped it would eventu-ally be the store of their life,but the future is rarely writ-ten where people can see it.

So when the couple pur-chased the store and aslaughterhouse up the road,they set out to cut meat.

Mary Catherine is thedaughter of a meat cutterwho owned Heringer Meatsin Covington. Steve had twoother butcher businessesbefore buying the one inWalton.

In May Brooks Meatscelebrated its 25th anniver-sary.

“We are like an old-fash-ioned butcher shop whereyou can come in and cus-tom order your meats,” saidMary Catherine. “When westarted, we had no idea itwould be this big.”

The shop started with

2,500 square feet of space,and expanded to its present15,000 square feet, whichincludes a restaurant thatSteve and Mary Catherinelease out. Steve attributestheir growth to hard work.

“We have nine employ-ees, and we are blessed tohave them,” he said.“We’ve had some very hardtimes, but we made it worktogether.”

Along with their threechildren, Steve and MaryCatherine have a thrivingbusiness in Walton, whichthey term a friendly town.

Their store is known forprocessing and cooking itsown meat, and some of itsspecialties are pulled pork,chili, goetta and roastedmeats.

“Steve has his ownrecipes for a lot of our spe-cialties,” said Mary Cather-ine.

“We aren’t ready to retireyet. Visit our website, atbrooksmeats.com, or justcome one down and visitus,” she said.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT


Sometime in early October, 32-year-old Eric Sandman is going toreceive his mail with the rest of thetroops in Afghanistan. There’s likelyto be letters and cards from loved onesfilled with the latest news from homeand all of the goings-on since he wasfirst deployed in May.

But there will also be a large, non-descript, fairly heavy box too. And it’sthat box that may just make hisday...or week.

“I can’t wait until he gets that - I’mjust waiting to hear his reaction,” saidhis mother, Pat, who lives in Erlanger.“But it’s safe to say he’s going to bethrilled!”

That’s because that box will con-tain a little taste of home for Eric andhis fellow troops...specifically chili.Cans and cans of every type of chiliimaginable, from store-bought cans tocans donated from local businesseslike Dixie Chili and Skyline.

“He has always loved chili - I thinkhe could eat it for breakfast, lunch anddinner when he was here,” said Pat.“So this is a way to give him and all ofhis troops a little taste of home whilethey’re away.”

The chili drive was started by KimReusch, Pat’s friend and co-worker atErlanger’s Colonial Cottage. A memberof the Ladies Auxiliary VFW Post6095 in Latonia, Reusch said she isalways on the lookout for ways tosupport the soldiers, and just hap-

pened to hear Sandman, a MilitaryPoliceman in the Army, mentioninghow much her son loves chili.

“I just thought it would be neat tosend some chili over to him and histroops, so we got a few cans together,and then I asked some people if theywanted to donate some so we couldsend a good amount,” said Reusch.“Before I knew it, we had all kinds ofpeople donating cans, and we saw thiswas going to get bigger than we everplanned.”

The drive caught the attention ofColonial Cottage owner Matt Grimes,who began donating some cans him-self and also working with the man-agers at the Erlanger locations of DixieChili and Skyline to secure some dona-tions.

“I just thought it was great to seeone employee organizing all of this tohelp the family of another employee,just out of the goodness of her heart,”he said. “It’s really cool to see the sup-port we’ve received for this, and I’mjust glad to be a part of it.”

With the cans of chili piling up,Reusch next used some of her connec-

tions with the VFW to secure a mone-tary donation to cover shipping costsfor the first package, which containedclose to 40 pounds worth of chili.

Even as she was organizing thefirst shipment, Reusch said she stillcouldn’t believe how big the drive hadbecome. She said she mentioned thedrive to a few of her regular customersone morning, and within about 30minutes, she had 15 cans given to her.

“When this started, I just figured itwas a way to help Pat’s son,” saidReusch. “Pat didn’t even know aboutit at first. But it just kept getting biggerand bigger, and it’s been great.”

Indeed, Pat said she was over-whelmed when she first caught wordof the chili drive. She said her familyhad sent Eric some cans in variouscare packages, but never imagined somany people would help out to sendchili to all of his fellow troops.

“I was blown away that peoplewould do this - it’s unbelievable,” shesaid. “I know Eric and the other sol-diers will love it, and it just means somuch to our family to see people doingwhat they can to support the troops,even if it is just donating a can ofchili.”

With the early success of the drive,Reusch said she hasn’t even thought alot about the future of the drive.

“I guess we’ll just keep this goingas long as we can,” she said. “Peoplehave been so generous, and we justhope that continues. Anything we canto do show we care for our troops,we’re glad to do it.”

Chili DriveDonations to the chili drive can be

dropped off at the Colonial Cottage, locatedat 3140 Dixie Highway in Erlanger.Monetary donations are also welcome tohelp cover shipping costs. Checks shouldbe made payable to the Ladies AuxiliaryVFW Post 6095. For more information,contact the Colonial Cottage at 341-4498.

Courage doesn’t alwaysinvolve brawn and muscles.It does involve a strength ofcharacter and integrity.

It causes us to reach forrightness even in the face offear, disapproval or over-whelming odds.

The word courage arosefrom the Latin word cor,meaning heart. To havecourage, “you gotta haveheart,” as an old song lyri-cized.

Courage is the virtue cru-cified in the middle betweentwo thieves – cowardice andrashness.

Cowardice is runningaway from all dangers andhard times; rashness is fac-ing danger in a careless waythat masks self-centeredmotives.

In the past, courage waschiefly associated with men.It was seen in the risks theytook during battle to defeatan enemy, help a fellow sol-dier, or defend innocentpeople.

Now, with a betterunderstanding of courage,we don’t hesitate to attrib-ute it in various bold andsubtle ways to women aswell.

To be courageousinvolves three general char-acteristics: (a) a willful andintentionally chosen actdespite the presence of fear;

(b) iti nvo l v e ssubs tan-tial dan-ger, diffi-cult, orrisk to thep e r s o nchoos ingit; (c) it isprimari lymotivatedto bringabout a

noble good or morally wor-thy purpose.

How many kinds ofcourage are there? Threetypes are acknowledged.

Physical courage. It isovercoming the fear ofphysical harm or possibledeath for the sake of a noblegoal such as defense ofcountry or our family, or tosave someone from dangeror criminal threats.

For example, we hear inthe news of a man orwoman risking their life topull someone from a burn-ing car.

Recently a captainposthumously received theMedal of Honor for riskinghis life while placing hiswounded men in a helicop-ter.

Moral courage. This isovercoming the fear ofsocial ostracism or rejectionin order to maintain ethical

integrity.For example, the history

of civil rights recalls the dayRosa Parks, a southernblack woman, took a seat inthe front of a bus when aprejudiced society said “herplace” was in the back.

This type of moralcourage can occur in manydifferent situations. It hap-pens whenever an individ-ual stands up to someonewith power over him or her,and does so for the greatergood. The result is the riskof social disapproval fromothers.

Psychological, or vital,courage. Within the past150 years a third kind ofcourage has been recog-nized by psychologists.

It means overcoming thefear of losing one’s psyche(the feeling that one is dis-integrating within – collo-quially, losing it.)

It can occur as we strug-gle against the fear of disin-tegration or death while try-ing to achieve greaterwholeness and mentalhealth.

It is the kind of couragedemonstrated by an addictovercoming his or heraddiction; or a personabused as a child working toovercome deep psychologi-cal fears to become a lovingand productive adult.

Why focus on couragetoday?

In “The Psychology ofCourage,” edited by Pury &Lopez, it’s stated: “It isincreasingly difficult to facean unpredictable futurewithout being able to call oncourage if needed.”

Over the years I havebeen honored to meet manypeople of courage.

They weren’t publiclyknown because for us ordi-nary people our most note-worthy victories occur with-in, out of view of camera,newsprint and applause.

At times we may be theonly one who knows thatthey exist.

To all these wonderfuland victorious people Iapply the following anony-mous quotation:

“Courage doesn’t alwaysroar. Sometimes it is thequiet voice at the end of theday saying, ‘I will try againtomorrow.’”

I know whenever arequest comes in for any-thing about Shillito’s recipesserved in their formerrestaurants, it spawns ahuge flood of “can you findthis recipe, or that?”

So I wasn’t surprisedwhen Irene Johnson’s origi-nal request for Shilllito’schicken pot pie opened thefloodgates.

Shillito’s individualchicken pot pie

I was so happy to getthis recipe from Ameliareader Mary Frank.

“I’m glad I could help,”she said. Me, too!

This recipe comes fromone printed in the Enquirer

a while back by Jeff Pipes,former Lazarus InteriorDesign Studio manager.

1⁄8 cupf r o z e npeas

3⁄4 cupf r o z e nsliced car-rots

6c o o k e dp e a r lonions

1⁄2 cup(3 oz.)diced cooked chicken – 1⁄2-inch to 3⁄4-inch chunks

3⁄4 cup sauce1 to 2 oz. pastry, to cover

pie

Cook frozen peas andcarrots and drain. Put chick-en into small casserole andadd veggies. Pour sauceover and bake at 350degrees until bubbly.

Serve with pastry topover casserole dish. (I’massuming you bake the pas-try separate). Makes onepie.

Pot pie sauce:3 tablespoons margarine11⁄2 tablespoons flour1 cup chicken

stock/brothDash pepper

Melt margarine, addflour and mix well. Addstock, cook and stir untilcreamy. Add pepper.

Shillito’s Café sandwich(Seven Hills sloppy Joes)

I have researched thisrecipe for years and foundthat the original spice mix-ture used in the sandwichwas a commercial one and,alas, can’t be found any-more.

If you remember thesandwich as being a bitspicy, go ahead and addsome chili powder.

21⁄2 pounds ground beef1⁄2 cup chopped onion1⁄4 cup chopped bell pep-

perSalt and pepper1 tablespoon dry mus-

tard1 tablespoon cider vine-

gar or more to taste13⁄4 cup ketchup2 tablespoons sugar or

more to taste

Brown meat and addeverything else. Simmerabout 30 minutes or more.Serve with a dollop ofCheese Whiz on top.

Fifteen-minutepeanut butter fudge

For the lady in Milfordwho wanted a peanut butterfudge “without marshmal-low cream.” She told me hermom had a recipe for justsuch a fudge, but she can’tfind it.

This is from “Cook’sIllustrated,” my food“bible.” Now, my ownrecipe like this is almost

identical, except it doesn’thave baking soda and I justmelt everything in a panand pour it into a sprayed 8-by-8 square pan.

(It’s an easy and goodone – my grandson, Will,made the chocolate versionof the fudge and won a blueribbon at the fair).

I’m thinking, though,that the baking soda is smartaddition, as that is whatprobably makes the textureof this fudge so good.

Makes about 21⁄2 pounds.This fudge will change tex-ture and become drier thelonger it is stored.

Store the fudge, tightlywrapped in plastic, in a coolplace for up to two weeks orin the freezer for threemonths. If frozen, allowample time to let it reachroom temperature beforecutting.

18 oz. peanut butterchips

1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda1⁄8 teaspoon salt1 (14-ounce) can sweet-

ened condensed milk1 tablespoon vanilla

extract

Cut 12-inch length extra-wide heavy-duty aluminumfoil; fold edges back to form71⁄2-inch width.

With folded sides facingdown, fit foil securely intobottom and up sides of 8-inch-square baking pan,allowing excess to over-hang pan sides.

Spray foil with nonstickcooking spray.

Toss peanut butter chips,baking soda, and salt inmedium heatproof bowluntil baking soda is evenlydistributed. Stir in sweet-ened condensed milk andvanilla.

Set bowl over 4-quartsaucepan containing 2 cupssimmering water. Stir withrubber spatula until chipsare almost fully melted andfew small pieces remain,two to four minutes.

Remove bowl from heatand continue to stir untilchips are fully melted andmixture is smooth, abouttwo minutes.

Transfer fudge to pre-pared pan and spread ineven layer with spatula.Refrigerate until set, abouttwo hours. Remove fudgefrom pan using foil and cutinto squares.

Double batch: Line 13by 9-inch pan with twosheets of foil placed perpen-dicular to each other anddouble amounts of all ingre-dients. In Step 2, use largeheatproof bowl and Dutchoven containing 4 cups sim-mering water.

Pam Westerman knowsthat for many women, find-ing the motivation to beginan exercise program is easy.

The real challenge is tostay motivated and to con-tinue to work toward fitnessgoals, said Westerman,owner of the Florence andIndependence Curves loca-tions.

Recognizing this prob-lem, certain Curves locationsacross Northern Kentuckyhave implemented theCurvesSmart PersonalCoaching System.

“CurvesSmart is a per-sonal training monitor thatprovides minute-by-minutefeedback on the intensity

and effectiveness of yourworkout to help keep youmotivated and on-track,”Westerman said. “And rightnow, new members can joinfor just $30, so it’s the per-fect time to experience thedifference that Curves andthe CurvesSmart system canmake in your life.”

Mounted on each piece ofequipment in the Curves 30-minute circuit, the CurvesS-mart monitor is programmedwith each member’s fitnessinformation to provide per-sonal feedback during eachphase of the workout. Thesystem automaticallyadjusts to each individual’sendurance level to ensure

that they stay continuallychallenged and thus work toachieve the full potential oneach machine, for everyworkout.

“Knowledge is power –and that drives motivation,”further explains AnneArnold, Erlanger Curvesowner. “That’s why theCurvesSmart system pro-vides feedback during andafter each session.” In addi-tion to the feedback that dis-plays during their workout,Curves clients receive adetailed progress report aftertheir session based on theworkout data collected bythe CurvesSmart system.The report computes overall

muscles strength, caloriesburned, and progress towardpersonal fitness goals.

“When women can seethat their workout level iseffective and can reviewtheir progress toward theirgoals regularly, it’s easierfor them to stay motivatedand on track." Arnold said.For more information aboutCurves of Northern Ken-tucky and the CurvesSmartsystem, please contact alocation near you (partici-pating locations includeErlanger, Florence, FortThomas, Hebron, Indepen-dence, and Villa Hills) at 1-800-CURVES30 or visitcurveskentucky.com.
