INDEPENDENCE SimonKentonHigh Schools students,teachers and volunteers areworking together to bridge thesocial gap between main-stream and special needs stu-dents.

The Bridge Club startedbecause we saw the need forstudents with disabilities tohave the same access to socialevents as mainstream stu-dents., said Eric Northrup, avolunteer at the school whoworks with Capernaum, whichis part of Young Life, a non-de-nominational Christian studentministry.

Our hope is to change theculture. Our friends with dis-abilitiesareoften leftout, sowewanted to bridge that gap. Wewant to get other students tosee thevalue, benefit andbeau-ty of our friends with disabili-ties.

Northrup said his goal is toreachout toeachofSimonKen-tons approximately 1,700 stu-dents, includingthe39studentswith disabilities who attendclasses there.

For me, what would be thesuccess of this club is everystudent at Simon Kenton,whethertheycometoouractiv-ities or not, every student has abuddy, he said. Its awin-win.Its good for the student withdisabilities. Its good for highschool students. Its good expe-

rience for all of them.A lot of times, these stu-

dentsdont attendevents, so itsbeen really nice for them to goon their own, said specialneeds teacher Karen Arnold.Every year I supervise mystudentsata footballgame,andthis year, they all went to hang

with their friends. Itwas amaz-ing.

Arnold started the BridgeClub three years ago, and forthe first two years, membersincluded special needs stu-dents and their peer tutors.With Northrups help, she said,the clubs support is school-wide.

Its taken on a life of itsown, saidNorthrup. Ive nev-er seen anything like this.These students want to make adifference.

In addition to participatinginscheduledBridgeClubactiv-ities together, mainstream stu-dents are hanging out and at-tending school and socialevents with their buddies.

Senior Emma Due invited aBridge Club buddy to escorther to the homecoming dance,because, she said, Thats anopportunity everyone shouldbe able to experience.

She said she joined thegroupbecauseofMrs.Arnold.Shes an inspiration. Shes sogood with the kids and shes areally good person. Thereneeds to be more of her in the

INDEPENDENCE On thewesternmost wall of the gym-nasium at Simon Kenton HighSchool, thereare threebigban-ners celebrating recent re-gional championships by girlsteams at the school.

Right next to them is anopen spot where another ban-ner would fit perfectly, a spotthe volleyball team at SK hashad its eyes on this fall.

Every single one of uswants state sobad, said senioroutside hitter Kaitlin Murray,while pointing to that spot onthewall. We cant get down onourselves and we have to keepour eye on the prize.

SK is 20-6 on the courtthrough Sept. 28 and is hopingto win one more match thanlast year, when the Pioneersfell to North Oldham in theEighth Region final.

Seniors Murray, SophieDunn and Megan Dischar arefocused on that possibility.

They are a great group,said SK head coach Andrea At-wood. They want to achievethemaximum they can get andthey do a great job coachingthe rest of the team.

The Pioneers took about asmuch as confidence as you can

get fromadefeat, as their sixthloss of the season came to No-tre Dame Academy Sept. 25.NDA won a best-of-threematch 25-11, 21-25, 25-13.

The fact Simon Kenton tooka game fromone of the top con-tenders for the state champi-onship, a team that has severalDivision I prospects, was a biglift for the Pioneers

We were all positive(against NDA), Dunn said.We didnt get down. We talk alot on the floor,

Atwood said theNDAmatchlit extra fire underneath thePioneers, who have been fo-cusing on defense and passing.

It seems like we have de-cided to change the way weplaydefense, seize themomen-tum, toucheveryball,Atwoodsaid. Theyre going after ev-erything and theyre beingvery aggressive. They areplaying wonderful right now.Every time the ball is on ourside, it is up to us and controlandwecontrol the tempoof thegame that way. We work on itand it has gotten so much bet-ter.

With a batch of veteran hit-ters, led by Murray up front,the Pioneers have been astrong-hitting team.

It feels absolutely won-derful, Castleman said. Itwas our first district win. Itfelt amazing. Big shoutout toour student section. Theywere wonderful. It was aplayoff atmosphere. Every-one got loud on the lastdrive.

The game was in doubt un-til the final minute, whenCooper got down to the Scott5-yard line before failing onfour passes into the endzone.

Our kids just buckleddown, Scott head coach DanWoolley said. These kidsreally believe in themselves.Theyve had success at everylevel. Were exactly wherewe want to be at this point.

Castleman, Scotts smalland speedy tailback, rushedfor 175 yards and two touch-downs on 25 carries despitemissing most of the fourthquarter with concussionsymptoms. He has 717 yardson the ground to lead North-ern Kentucky.

Hehas a chip onhis shoul-der in a good way, Woolleysaid. Hes been told hes un-dersized his whole life and hecant do it. He runs hard. Idont know of another kidwho weighs 170 pounds whoruns as hard as hedoes.Hes agreat leader for our team.

Senior quarterback BenOsborne had only three com-pletions, but all of them werecrucial. Two of them weretouchdowns to Nick Brink-man, including the game-winning touchdown late inthe fourth quarter. He alsohad a 15-yard completion toChris Roberts on the game-winning drive. Osborne has10 completions with five TDs

on the season.Castleman,whohas12TDs

this year, led Scott to 292yards on the ground, not farfrom its 335-yard average forthe year.

We pushed through ad-versity and stayed togetheras a team, not fighting witheach other, Castleman said.Were brothers; were allclose to each other.

VILLA HILLS Balanceand depth have been cru-cial for the Villa MadonnaAcademy girls golf team.

While the Blue Light-ning have no superstarsthis year, the fact they canpost solid scores in slotsone through five hashelped them have a pro-ductive 2013 season,

Weve got five playerswho are really close inscoring and very capableplayers that on any givenday, any one of the fivecould lead us in scoring,said head coach GregSchuh.

The balance would

have made for an impres-sive pendulum at theNorthern Kentucky Ath-letic Conference tourna-ment Sept. 23. VMA wonthe Division III title withan impressive score of350.

The girls were veryhappy with the win,Schuh said Theyveworked hard all year.Weve gotten a lot moreconsistent with our play.That certainly showed inthe conference tourna-ment.

Three players sharedteam leadership for thetourneywith an 87: Senior

Nicole Zatorski, juniorMadison Trenkamp andfreshman Natalie Bou-cher. Junior MonicaSpritzky shot 89 and sen-ior Shanna Doumont, 93.

VMA was coming offthe regional champion-ship in the All A tourna-ment,eventuallyfinishingfourth in the state tourna-ment Sept. 7. At state,Trenkamp was the bestscorer for the Lightningwith a 92.

Weve had a success-ful seasonwith the tourna-ments, Schuh said.Through hard work, thegirls have been more fo-

cused and more consis-tent. Weve won somegood dual matches withsome of our rivals.

VMA picked up a soliddualwintoendtheregularseason, beatingCincinnatiMother of Mercy 177-185.The Lightningwere readyto focus on the regionalchampionshipstostart thepostseason Oct. 1.

Were cautiously opti-mistic, Schuh said. Ourhopes are well play wellon Tuesday and well seewhat happens.

A8 SOUTH KENTON RECORDER OCTOBER 3, 2013

On Sept. 12 at the NorthernKentucky Convention Center,I received the FrontiersmanAward, recognizing a life-long history of service toNorthern Kentucky, exempli-fying the highest standardsof personal integrity andfamily responsibilities. Inconnection with the award, Iprepared the following wordsof encouragement for North-ern Kentuckys next genera-tion of leaders.

Each year we gather at thechamber dinner to honoraward recipients. Past Fron-tiersman Award winners likeMer Grayson, Ralph Drees,Bill Butler, and many others,helped build this region. Wehave an excellent foundationwhich they havent stoppedbuilding. But our next gener-ation of leaders, throughtheir will, inspiration, andhard work, will play the de-termining role in our col-lective future.

For tomorrows leaders,first, know that every door isopen for you. I met Melissa atage 19. In a huge leap of faith,she agreed to marry me andwe came to Northern Ken-tucky at age 25. We startedour careers, originally havingbeen from smaller towns. Inother places, we probablywould have had to struggle toget involved. This communityopened every door for us. Iknow those same doors willbe open for you.

Second, know that by com-ing to Northern Kentuckyyou have come to the rightplace. I remember my firstChamber dinner vividly. BillRobinson, a past Frontiers-man AwardWinner, deliv-ered an inspiring speechabout community involve-ment and prosperity. Thatspeech, the Chamber, andmany others helped shapeour regions identity. Here,we usually see the best inpeople, and wherever we lookwe see opportunities.

Third, I hope you will in-clude businesses and growthas among your passions. Truebusiness advocates, who cansee the favorable impact ofeconomic development onfamilies, are in shorter sup-ply than you might think. Noteveryone sees commerce aslending a helping hand to allpeople in a region, but it does.

Fourth, as youre search-ing for the next great oppor-tunity to get involved, myhope for you is that youre

blessed withgreat part-ners. Sur-round your-self withpeople whopick you upwhen you fall and you willfall, as I did,from time-to-time. Youcant do it

alone. Church, family andfriends have helped me everystep of the way.

In the coming days, weeksand years, show up, speak up,and be true to your passion.People here will recognizeand remember you for it. Ona personal level, your life willcome together - throughfaith, family and service - inways you never imagined. Ona regional level, envisionhaving a climate so favorableto commerce that it leads toexcellent jobs for every fam-ily. It can be done.

So as the torch passes toyou, and it will, see that thedoors are open, be proud ofyour community, understandbusiness, and make greatchoices with your partners inlife. Finally, know that as youlead, our community will bethere to help. In fact, werehonored when you ask for ourhelp.

Relationships are tricky, tosay the least.

Navigating moods, roughpatches, and the general upsand downs of life (and thatsjust with your children) canleave you frazzled. But whatabout the other relationshipsin your life: the spouse, co-worker, friends and family?Attempting to get along inthese situations can leave aperson wondering, What dothey want from me?

Too often, we make relation-ships in our lives more compli-cated than they need to be. Wetend to think for the otherperson. Assuming we knowwhat they want from us andfeeling frustrated, because wecant always muster the re-sources to give it.

We assume the spousewould be happier if we lostweight, so we join the gym andthe weight-loss group. Wethink the children would behappier with more things sowe work overtime five days aweek.

As for the co-workers,neighbors and friends, weoften assume they need ourtwo cents, so we freely giveit, telling them step-by-step

how to maneu-ver theirstruggles (yetwe cant seemto maneuverour own) andfeeling ex-hausted andfrustratedwhen we findthey didntheed our well-thought-out

advice.And what about God? What

does he want from me? Makeno mistake, God does want meto be obedient, to walk in hisways, and to witness to othersabout him.

Yet, above all those things,what God wants more thananything is my heart. And withmy heart comes my time andattention. The Bible tells usthat God doesnt look downfrom heaven to see if we areliving righteously or not: TheLord looks down from heavenupon the children of men, tosee if there are any who un-derstand, who seek God.(Psalm 14:2)

The Lord watches and waitsfor us to seek him.

Interestingly, when I com-

pare what God wants with allthe other relationships in mylife, I find what they all reallycrave is the same: my heart.And with my heart comes mytime and attention.

Fifteen minutes playingfootball with my son goes a lotfurther than a new pair ofNike socks. Fifteen minutesplaying Barbies with my 5-year old, means more than anew Barbie. Fifteen minuteslistening to my 12-year old talkabout horses means more thana new riding helmet. (Well, Imay be pushing it on that lastone.)

However, one things forsure, You will show me thepath of life; in your presence iffullness of joy; at your righthand are pleasures forever-more. (Psalm 16:11)

Today, experience the full-ness of joy and pleasures for-evermore simply by spendingtime with God and those youlove.

Students, welcome to Moral-ity Class 666. Today were go-ing to learn an important les-son about embezzling (steal-ing) from taxpayers. You mayhave been taught by your par-ents that stealing is alwayswrong. Its not that black andwhite anymore. Your sillyparents are stuck in the pastwith their Leave It to Beavermoral compass. Progressivelyspeaking, stealing all dependson whos doing the stealing andwhy theyre stealing.

For example, when a gov-ernment employee embezzlesfrom taxpayers for personaluse, that kind of stealing isbad. This person must be pun-ished to the full extent of thelaw. Im sure your parentsagree. You may have heardabout a Covington city workerwho stole $600,000 from tax-payers. The authorities areconfiscating all his assets. If heis found guilty, he will go to jailfor a very long time.

But today, theres anotherkind of stealing that is nobleand should be applauded. Thisstealing occurs when you stealtaxpayer money to benefit

yourself andyou claim thestolen moneywill benefitchildren or aworthy cause.This type ofstealing iscalled Stealingfor the Beaver.Progressivelyspeaking, thisis not stealing.

When you steal to benefit your-self and claim youre helpingchildren, thats good stealing.

Some of your parents dontunderstand this difference.Theyre stuck in what we callthe Cleaver Syndrome wherestealing is always wrong.These old-fashioned relicsrefuse to embrace moralitysnew normal. Thank God theycant live forever. Did I sayGod in school?

Let me illustrate what Imean. Recently, two judgesruled that local libraries wereillegally stealing millions ofdollars from taxpayers forover 30 years. Its not wrongbecause they and childrenbenefited from their crime.

Since some of the governmentmoney was for a noble cause,its not really stealing.

Heres our morality lessonfor today - If you are going tochoose a life of crime, makesure your story includes anI stole for the children angleor a noble cause like support-ing the GayMidget Nuns onDrugs Foundation.

If you follow these rules,you will enjoy of life of crimeand not be sent to jail, yourassets will not be seized andyou can keep the stolen ob-jects. Yes, you can be a rockstar in the public-sector.

Children, the Justice De-partment ranks Kentucky asthe fourth most corrupt statein America. Were counting onyou to make sure we reach thefinal four every year. Dont letus down.

Children, tomorrow you willlearn why stealing tax moneyfor your personal gain andbankrupting your childrensfuture is noble. Good grief!

Looking for a sure-fire wayto ignite a heated politicaldiscussion? Say the wordsAffordable Care Act, healthcare reform or Obamacare.The changes to the health caresystem set in motion by the2010 Patient Protection andAffordable Care Act, havesparked some of the mostheated political debates thiscentury.

And while healthy politicalrhetoric is part of what makesthis country great, the debatehas, for the most part, over-shadowed the substance of thelaw. So, Id ask that you setyour political feelings aside as

you read thesenext few para-graphs as aconsumer,someone whouses thehealth caresystem fromtime to time.

First, mostpeople whoalready havehealth insur-ance cover-

age, either from a plan of-fered by an employer, Medi-care or Medicaid, will not seea whole lot change. You mayget a notice from your em-

ployer informing you of yourright to coverage. Your plansmay have open enrollment,similar to how they do eachfall.

But, if you are one of thealmost 15 percent of Kentuck-ians who dont have coverage,youll have new options. Themain one being that youll beable to purchase insurancethrough whats called a healthcare exchange.

Basically, an exchange is amarketplace. Insurers offertheir plans and you go, eitheronline or by phone, and selectthe plan thats best for yourneeds and budget. It does get

a bit muddy here: Some states,including Kentucky, havedecided to run their own in-surance exchanges. Others,including Ohio and Indiana,will have their residents pur-chase insurance on the federalexchange.

Kentuckys exchange iscalled kynect. You can find itonline athttp://www.kynect.comor bycalling 1-855-4KYNECT.

Enrolling in an insuranceplan, particularly if youre notused to it, can be confusing.Fortunately, you can accesshelp from insurance brokersand navigators. Details on

who can perform each func-tion are still shaping up.

The wheels of change in thehealth care industry are inmotion. We know that a num-ber of Northern Kentuckianslack health insurance cov-erage, and will benefit fromthe new options offered be-cause of the Affordable CareAct. October 1 is approachingquickly. Please take sometime to learn how health carereform will impact your fam-ily.

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

with lots ofinteractionwith thepartici-pants.

I hadseveraldifferentkinds ofonions onhand totalk aboutsince on-

ions are mentioned in theBook of Numbers andone of the most healthfulveggies. One lady men-tioned that onions plant-ed next to cabbage makegood garden companions,keeping both healthy.Then another personspoke up about potatoes.

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

Oktoberfest Germanpotato salad

This is as close as Ican get to the recipe ofmy German mother-in-law, Clara. Easy andreally good. I used redpotatoes for this recipe.If you use baking pota-toes, which contain more

starch, they will soak upmore of the dressing.

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

1 heaping cup choppedonion

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

2 tablespoons flour23 cup cider vinegar or totaste

1 cup water13 cup sugar or to tasteSalt and pepperAbout 8 cups sliced cookedpotatoes (cook, then sliceinto 14-inch pieces)

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

Slaw stuffedpeppers

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

mangoes?!

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

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

112 teaspoons salt

Slice tops off peppersand remove seeds. Soakovernight in solution of 4quarts water and 14 cupsalt. Drain. Combinecabbage and 14 cup saltand let stand overnight.Drain well. Mix pimentosand cabbage. Fill pep-pers. Tie tops on withthread. Put in 8-quartcrock. Combine sugar,water, vinegar and spices

in big pan. Bring to a boiland cook 10 minutes.Pour hot solution overpeppers and weigh themdown. Marinate at least 1week at room temper-ature. To serve, cut pep-pers in quarters.

Readers want toknow

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

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

wipe out the bowl with abit of vinegar to removeany traces of fat, rinseand dry. Youll get bettervolume with room tem-perature whites.

FORTMITCHELLMar-eka Miller of Alexandriawants everyone to get inon the big fight.

No boxing gloves orrefereesarerequired.Thebattleground is NorthernKentucky. The enemy iscancer.

If we find the cure forone, then that will lead tothe cure for all cancers,she said. Thats what theAmerican Cancer Societyis about the big fightagainst all cancers.

Miller, who has been avolunteer with the Ameri-can Cancer Society ofNorthern Kentucky forsix years, said everyoneshould take the opportuni-ty to stop by the FortMitchell office to learnabout volunteer opportu-nities.

The societywill host aninformational open house5-8p.m.Wednesday,Oct.9,at 297 Buttermilk Pike.Those interested in volun-teer opportunities, includ-ing patient support andRelay For Life, can visit

anytime during thosehours.

The societys Mid-South Division communi-ty representative KilaHanrahan said volunteerswill be on hand to answerquestions.

We are a volunteer-driven organization,Hanrahan said. Our vol-unteers are the heart ofwhat we do, we couldntaccomplishanythingwith-out them.

According toHanrahantheres an opportunity foreveryone to help out.

Weevenhavechildrenon theRelayForLife com-mittees who help plan ac-tivities for kids, she said.We offer great ways forentire families to get in-volved.

Ron Beard of Wilderstarted volunteering sixmonths ago just because.

I wanted something todo, the retired CovingtonCatholic High School sub-stitute teacher and foot-ball coach said. I do it forselfish reasons. Its mywayofgivingback, but itsalsomyway of keeping anold man busy.

He coordinators Roadto Recovery, a programthat organizes volunteerswho can provide transpor-tation toand fromappoint-ments for cancer patients.

This is a big need,Beard said Just today(Sept. 26) we coordinated30 rides.

Thatwas just enough tomeet the need, he said.There have been times,however, the need cannotbe met, like when 84 rideswere needed, but only 67volunteerswereavailable.

There are growingneeds (in Northern Ken-tucky), Hanrahan said.This outreach to volun-teers isagoodwayforpeo-ple to ... see our office andwhat they can do. A lot ofpeopledontrealize theresa localoffice;werehere intheir own back yard.

According to bothBeard and Miller, volun-teering with the society isvery rewarding.

The feeling you get in-side when someone says,Thanks, means every-thing to me, Beard said.It makes you feel good.

Miller, who became in-volved in honor of her un-cle and now her fatherwho both had cancer,agreed.

The most rewardingthing is to have people tellyou how much youvetouched their lives, shesaid. Volunteering letsthem know they are notalone, they are not in thefight by themselves.
