With less than three months until Election Day, Northern Kentucky delegates are getting ready to attend their national nominating conventions. To get an idea of how these na- tional events hit home the Com- munity Recorder spoke to dele- gates that will be representing Kenton County.

Scott Kimmich Scott Kimmich, of Erlanger, is a 49-year-old Realtor. He will be attending his second Republican National Convention. Four years ago he traveled to St. Paul, Minn., for his first. Q. What do you hope to accom- plish at the convention? A. Well I would hope that the convention is an opportunity to build unity and to build strength within the party and to give Gov- ernor (Mitt) Romney and (Paul) Ryan a strong send-off in the fi- nal weeks of the fall campaign. Q. Is there anyone you’re hop- ing to meet at the convention? Why? A. No, the last time we were there we had the opportunity to meet with a num- ber of very capa- ble individuals and I’m confident we will be able to this time. Q. What issues do you want to hear about or talk about during the convention? A. It’s the worst economic con- ditions this country has faced since the Great Depression and it’s time for Governor (Mitt) Romney and (Paul) Ryan to try and put an end to it. Ian Koffler The 2012 Republican National Convention is the first for Villa Hills resident Ian Koffler. Kof- fler is a 35-year-old attorney in Covington. Q. What issues do you want to hear about or talk about during the convention? A. I think the key issues here are sort of the key issues for the election. I think if you look at the press record and country record this has been the slowest (eco- nomic) recovery in history. Slow- er even than the Great Depres- sion. Q. Do you have any fun side trips planned while you’re out of town for the conven- tion? A. Honestly I think I’m going to be pretty busy the whole time I’m there, probably rushing to catch up on some reg- ular 9-to-5 work. I don’t really have anything special planned other than convention events. Q. Is there anyone you’re hop- ing to meet while at the conven- tion? Why? A. It’d be a thrill, obviously, to run into the candidates (and) to meet with Mitt Romney or even Paul Ryan. Kenton County Democrats will also be represented at the Democratic National Conven- tion. Kentucky’s delegation in- cludes Col Owens of Fort Mitch- ell. It will be held in Charlotte, N.C., on Sept. 4-6.

What do you hope to accom- plish while at the convention? A. Well I’m very excited about renominat- ing the president. That, of course, is the main order of business. I’m a strong supporter of the president. I think given the circumstances we inherited he’s doing a good job given the cir- cumstances ... and to be part of that process, very excited to be part of the national process. Q. Do you have any fun side trips planned while out of town at the convention? A. I plan to ride a race car. They have this race track (Char- lotte Motor Speedway) on Sunday and I’m going. We have the option of doing that so I’m going to try to do it. Q. Is there anyone you’re hop- ing to meet while at the conven- tion? Why? A. Not really. I met a lot of the folks that are national players. Meeting the president isn’t such a big deal. I’m just glad he’s there and doing what he’s doing. I think he’s running a very high-level campaign given the depths to which the opposition has stooped.

At the Aug. 20 City Council meeting members voted unani- mously to go with the compensat- ing tax rate. This means that residents will pay $0.145 per every $100 of as- sessed value on property. Cur- rently they are paying $0.146 per every $100 of assessed property value. When property values in- crease tax rates can be lowered and the city can still make the same amount of money, said May- or Chris Wiest. Council also voted on the city’s park tax, which will remain the same at $0.02 per $100 of assessed property. “It’s the same rate since 1983,” said Wiest.

Rabbit Hash GeneralStore proprietor and eventorganizer Terrie Markes-bery said the event willhave live music, a “barniv-al” in the barn, which is akids carnival with arts andcrafts, food and a hayrideparking shuttle.

The music lineup in-cludes acts Jake Speed andthe Freddies, GunpowderCreek, The Lady Slippers,Marmalade Brigade, ShinyOld Soul, Keshvar Project,Downtown County Bandand Tilford Sellers.

“It’s an appreciation forthepatrons ofRabbitHash,to honor the older peoplewhohavebeen in town– theold timers,” she said.

Markesbery said the“old timers” are crucial tothe history of the commu-nity because they passdown stories.

“If an old timer says it ...

that’s the way it is,” shesaid.

The past events typical-ly draw 1,000 or more peo-ple through the day, saidMarkesbery.

“The weather’s alwaysnice and it’s nice to sit bythe river and listen to old-timey music (and) absorbwhat the townhas to offer,”she said.

LAKESIDE PARK — Pre-schoolers playing violins,choirs performing in theWorld Choir Games, andfive different orchestras –all of them are the resultof the Northern KentuckySchool of Music at Im-manuel United MethodistChurch.

The Lakeside ParkChurchopened its doors—and thedoors of all severalof its facilities — to theschool last summer.

At its one-year anniver-sary, the school has 39 fac-ulty members and morethan 500 students.

“When I see that our

building is full and busyevery day of the week, itsays to me that we did theright thing then, and hope-fully that we’ve been do-ing the right thing since,”said JereMcIntyre, chair-man of hte church council.“It’s a great joy any timeyou walk in the building,there’s always music.”

The church undertooka large construction pro-ject15 years ago, doublingthe size of thebuilding andmaking a commitment tooffer the space to the com-munity, McIntyre said.

“As part of our visionprocess,we identified thatwe wanted to help chil-dren discover themselvesin music and in the arts,”

he said. “We knew it wasthe right thing to do, andwewerewilling to committo it and make our re-sources available.”

Toni Sheffer, the foun-der/director of the North-ern Kentucky UniversityMusic Prepatory Depart-

ment, is the director of theschool and collaboratedwith the church’s directorof music, Joanne Brumm,to start the school.

“This church puts val-ue onmusic. They see it asan expression of theirfaith,” Sheffer said. “It’s

an extension of the minis-tries of outreach they pro-vide to the community.”

The school serves stu-dents of all ages — frompre-schoolers in the Suzu-ki violin program toadults. Over the summer,it hosted summer camps

inmusic andmusical thea-ter.

“It’s a proven fact thatchildren do better inschool work when they’relearning music,” Sheffersaid. “They gain a certainkind of discipline, andmu-sic can be an important so-cial opportunity.

“Not everyone is giftedinmath and science. Someare gifted in the arts, andit’s important to give theman outlet and a way to ex-press that,” she said.

One of the school’sgroups, theNorthernKen-tucky Children’s Ensem-ble, competed in theWorldChoir Games, earning aSilver Medal.

For McIntyre and thechurch’s leadership, theschool is another opportu-nity to meet people wherethey are in their journey.

“We think of it as a wayto express our personalfaith and to help the kidsexpress themselves,” hesaid.

It’s not unlike a churchsponsoring a men’s soft-ball team to reach out tomen in the community.

“We think it’s impor-tant for churches to takerisks and think outside thebox about ways to sharetheir ministry,” McIntyresaid. “This is just one ofthe ways we do it.”

Beechwood gains guidance counselorFORTMITCHELL—Studentsat

Beechwood IndependentSchools will now get guidancefrom a man who has spent 14years helping kids in NorthernKentucky.

When Chris Reeves receiveda guidance counselor position atBeechwood, he was surprised.The former Lloyd MemorialHigh School and Conner High

School guidancecounselor appliedfor the job aftergetting a tip froma friend.

Doug Neus-pickle, a formerBeechwood guid-ance counselor,always kept in

touch with Reeves, and when hedecided to leave his position helet Reeves know it was open.

“And although I was very,

very happy at Lloyd, I wanted tosee what this opportunity waslike,” Reeves said. “So I did anapplication and got asked to aninterview.”

The rest is history.Reeves actually started a ca-

reer in education 19 years ago asan English teacher and switchedto counselingwhile hewas teach-ing at Owen CountyHigh School.

“I didn’t think learning moreEnglish would make me a betterteacher,” he said. “I thought if I

learned more about kids it’dmake me a better teacher.”

Reeves is responsible foraround 400 students, grades 7-12,at Beechwood.

As amember of the KentuckyAssociation for College Admis-sion Counseling his biggest pas-sion is helping students apply forcollege.Reeves saidhe is excitedto be part of that process atBeechwood.

“Over 90 percent of the stu-dents there attend a four-year

college and Iwill get to spendmytimehelpingstudentsget into thecollege of their choice,” he said.

As for spending almost twodecades in education, Reevessays he’s helped many studentsin his career.

“I run into people all thetime,” he said. “I pretty muchcan’t go anywhere without run-ning into somebody I’ve knownfrom school somewhere.”

FORTMITCHELL—For JulieDuncan, her future travels toHawaii and SanAntonio, Texas,are just part of the journey.

Originally a Fort Mitchellresident who graduated fromNotre Dame Academy in 2005,she has covered some groundsince leaving Northern Ken-tucky to study for her under-graduate degree at HarvardUniversity.

“I studied the history andphilosophy of science,”Duncansaid of her time at Harvard.“It’s kind of aweird, Harvard-ymajor. They don’t have a lot ofpractical majors like nursing.”

Duncan chose this track be-cause she wanted to be an evo-lutionary biologist, focusing oncreationist theories, citing theCreation Museum in Peters-burg as a reason.

“I was very interested whenthey started building this nearmy home in Kentucky,” shesaid.

Although Duncan wanted toteach, she decided to go to lawschool instead, thanks to a pro-

fessor’s inspiration.She studied law at Yale Uni-

versity.“Oneof the initial things that

got me thinking about lawschool is I started to worryabout the solitary life as an aca-demic,” she jokes.

After Duncan does a federalclerkship in Hawaii and Texas,she will move to California,hopefully to practice law.

“I’m hoping to come back tothe Northern Kentucky area,”she said. “I’m looking forwardto having a West Coast adven-ture first.”

As college students headback to campus, they’re takingwith them expensive items likelaptop computers, cellphonesand other electronic devices, aswell as furnishings for theirdorm rooms and apartments.Many students don’t under-stand how proper coverage canbring considerable peace ofmind to their parents.

AAA Insurance offers thefollowing tips for parents andstudents:

» Parents should check theircurrenthomeowners’ insurancepolicy to verify dependent cov-erage for students living in dor-

mitories.Manyhomeowner’s in-surance planswill provide up to10 percent of the homeownerspersonal property coverage forundergraduate students livingin a dormitory.

» Parentsmay be eligible fora credit on their auto insurancepolicies if a child is going to col-lege more than 100 miles awaywithout a vehicle. Ask your in-surer about possible credits.

»Renters insurancewillcov-er content and liability for stu-dents livingoffcampus inapart-ments, but the student’s namemust be listed on the lease.

To learn more about insur-ance coverageneeds for collegestudents, call 1-855-732-0145.

AAA offers insuranceadvice for college boundCommunity RecorderCRESTVIEWHILLS— It’s a sun-

ny August morning in CrestviewHills when students awaken thecampus at Thomas More Collegefor the first day of classes.

But this year something’s dif-ferent. Of the 1,900 students en-rolledabout375 live inoneof fourresidence halls.

That’s more than ever.“We probably only have 40

spaces left,” said Bradley Biel-ski, academic dean and vicepresident for academic affairs atThomas More College, in refer-ence to available rooms.

The number of students livingin dormitories at the college hasmore than doubled in the pastseveral years, Bielski explained.

“They not only want to go toschool, they want to be here 24/7and experience all campus has tooffer,” he said.

Living on campus allows stu-dents to immersewithpeers, saidAdriana Fitch. Fitch, who hailsfrom Paducah, has served as aresident student assistant for thepast three years.

“I think the benefits of livingin the residence halls are you’rewith people your own age, notyour parents,” Fitch said. “Yourparents are wonderful people,butyouneed toexperience itwitheverybody else.”

Off campus housing options,suchas apartments, are availablebut somestudentsaren’t interest-ed in them.

“Nah, I’d still have to drive,(now) I can just walk to class,”saidHeatherMcGee, fromLouis-ville.

So far this year’s incoming

classof freshmen iscomprisedofabout 300 students, said StacySmithRogers, director of collegecommunication and public rela-tions at Thomas More College.

It’s part of Billy Sarge’s job tomake sure these new studentsfeel comfortable.Theadmissionsdirector was at the end of a hall-way on the first day of classes,Aug. 22, helping students get towhere they need to go.

“Just making sure the stu-dents aregetting the transition ofhigh school to college,” Sargesaid. “So they feel at ease. Manyare worried or stressed. Wehelped them enroll, so we willprovide direction.”

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

By James [email protected]

It is hard to imagine a teambeing disappointedwithwinning31 of its past 35 games.

While disappointment mightbe a bit too strong, the ThomasMoreCollege Saints remain hun-gry formore success. After reel-ing off two straight undefeatedregular seasons capped by firstround playoff victories, theSaints slightly stumbled in 2011,

losing their firstregular seasongame since 2008,their first confer-ence game since2007, and theirfirst round play-off game.

“We can’t besatisfied,” saidhead coach Jim

Hilvert. “We have lofty goals forthis season.”

Hilvert enters his sixth sea-son as the ranked 22nd among allactive NCAA head footballcoaches in winning percentage(.768). The Saints are ranked20th in the D3football.com pre-season Top 25. Senior safetyZach Autenrieb (Elder) entersthe season with 24 career inter-ceptions, six shy of setting a newDivision III record for career in-terceptions.

To help prepare for a deeperpostseason run this year, theSaints open the season at 11th-ranked St. John Fisher. With thismuchhypeandpressureheadinginto the season, the Saintswill betested early and often in their

quest for a fifth-straight Presi-dents Athletic Conference title.

Sophomore quarterbackLukeMagness opened eyes afterstarting the final two games ofthe 2011season. He has a bevy oftalented skill players returningaround him and is poised for abreakout year.

“He had a great offseason,”said Hilvert of his young quar-terback. “He took big steps to-ward becoming a leader of thisteam.”

Former Saints quarterbackTrevor Stellman (Conner) takesover offensive coordinator du-ties after Brian Sheehan wasnamed head coach at DefianceCollege. Stellman’s experiencein the program has made for a

smooth transition thus far. Hewill keep inplace theSaints’ dan-gerous option attack, in whichspeedy backs Domonique Hay-den and Landon Savoy will pileup yardage.

The receiving corps is deep,led by local products AustinStuder (Campbell County), RyanWinkler (Simon Kenton), TonyBell (Northwest), Bobby Leon-ard (DixieHeights), andMercierDoucette (Boone County).

The entire offensive line re-turns intact, ledbyfirst teamAll-PAC tackle Jeremy Hoop (GlenEste), second team All-PAC cen-ter Kevin Naltner (Elder), andfellow senior Kevin Eads (OakHills).

Adam Rauch moved fromrunning back to safety, where hewill line up next to Autenrieb.Skilled cornerbacks ShaquilleJinks (Moeller), Jake Fishburn(Elder), and Antonio Bookerround out the secondary. NickGramke (Elder),AlexTaylor (El-der), Ben Flamm (Deer Park),NateDorsey,andEliAnglim(An-derson) give the Saints a deeplinebackergroup.JayVolker (El-der) returns to lead the defen-sive line after missing the 2011season with a knee injury. TylerCombs (Highlands), Chris Bou-man (Bishop Brossart), and Ty-ler Calhoun (Bethel-Tate) joinVolker up front.

The Saints will rely on theirseniors — Bell, Doucette, Naltn-er, Hoop, Eads and Studer on of-fense; Volker, Gramke, Auten-rieb, Anglim and Booker on de-fense— to lead the team beyondthe second round of the playoffs.

The Northern Kentucky TopGuns just returned home from anational competition for trapshooting in Sparta, Ill., during theScholastic Clay Target Program.More than 1,600 athletes fromacross the United States compet-ed in the two-day, 200-target com-petition.

The Senior/Junior Varsityteam brought home a second-place trophy. They finished sec-ond out of 36 squads competingwith a score of 927. The teammembers are Quentin Penrod,Taylor Bisig, Kyle Sears, TylerSchnitzler and Steve Flinchum.

“They were disappointed intheir scores after the first daywith the wind playing a factor,”said head coach Dennis Menning.“I told them, every one has toshoot the same target; tomorrow

isanotherday.Youcannotgiveup.The next day they came back andshot much better. That is how thegame goes. You have to forgetabout the missed targets and thefirst day, and go out and tryagain.”

Quentin Penrod and TannerHamilton out of Campbell Countyfinished first and second respec-tively with scores of 196 in theSenior / Junior Varsity category.

“These two guys are definiteproof that the cream rises to thetop. They just keep shooting thebig scores,” Menning said. “Thecompetition is what makes theshooter the best he can be. All thepractice in the world cannot re-place shooting the tournamenttargets. You get in that zone and itall comes together.”

All four of the local teams fin-ished in the top eight of their cate-gory, coming close to finishing inthe top threeandearninga trophy.

A publication of

Politics and hot airThe upcoming Republican and

DemocraticNational Conventionsgot me thinking a lot about hot airand how voters will hear two op-posing viewpoints on the properdirection to take this country.

Reminds me of a debate overthe best direction of a ceiling fan’srotation.Forcingairuptowardtheceiling or more directly downupon the area below? Some insiston forcing air upwards dispersingit across a broader area to redis-tribute it to more individuals –though in very small quantities.Others prefer the opposite direc-tion, allowing those who have bet-terpositioned themselves toenjoythe strong air blowing in their di-rection.

Part of the discussion iswheth-er it is better to be “spreading theairaround”inthenameoffairnesswhile robbingmost of theair fromthosewhoarebenefiting themost.Those fostering envy and resent-ment would certainly make thatcase. Others would favor expand-ing the opportunity for more indi-viduals to receive a strong airflowwhile retaining what is theirs.Sound familiar?

My guess is that if we left it upto the individuals involved, initia-tive and entrepreneurial spiritwouldresult in thegrowthofmoreceiling fan installations whichwould increase the opportunityfor more and more individuals toreceivea largeairflow–asthere isa natural tendency for supply tomeet demand.

Conversely, if we were to in-volve the government to settlesuch an issue, there would likelybe new regulations to mandatethat all fan blades be aligned per-fectly horizontal to reduce oreliminate the airflow for every-one, again in the name of fairness.This would be in line with govern-ment’s overall inefficiency andtheir tendency to subject every-one to nothing but hot air.

How many times have youbeen sucked in by a TV in-fomercial? By the end of the 30minutes, you’ve got the phonein hand, ready to order thelatest workout video or steamcleaning system.

I’d like to borrow sometechniques from the infomer-cial industry to entice you totry something that may be new– buying produce from localfarmers’ markets. Though I’mlimited here in that I can’tshow beautiful pictures toillustrate my points, I’ll tryprompting your imagination.

Imagine pictures of gor-geous green beans, mouth-watering apples and succulentsquash.

Kentucky’s harvest seasonis in full swing. Corn, apples,eggplant, lettuce, peppers,potatoes, squash, tomatoes andzucchini are all plentiful atlocal farmers’ markets in Sep-tember and even heading into

October. Thetradition offall harvestfestivalsmakes sense –that’s whenthe goods arethe most plen-tiful.

Though thisyear’s droughthas certainlyaffected

crops, there should still beplenty of options available.

Shopping at farmers’ mar-kets, with the bright colors andenticing smells, makes it easyto try something new – andperhaps find a fruit or vegeta-ble that you didn’t realize youenjoyed.

But wait, there’s more!Imagine yourself on the

scale, watching the numbers godown as you come closer to ahealthy weight. Or imagineyour pants being a little less

snug.Kentucky’s waist lines are

getting bigger … and bigger.Two out of three Kentuckyadults are overweight or obese,and one out of four childrenare as well.

Most fruits and vegetablesare naturally low in fat andcalories and are filling. At thesame time, fruits and vegeta-bles also provide essentialvitamins and minerals, fiber,and other substances that areimportant for good health.Freshly picked vegetables, likethose sold at farmers’ markets,are at the peak for not onlytaste, but also nutritional val-ue.

But wait, there’s more!Imagine a family sitting at

the table with head in hands asthey sort through a pile of bills.

Kentucky’s economy isstruggling. Farmers’ marketshelp support local farmers –many farmers are running

small businesses and rely onfarmers’ market sales to sup-port their families or supple-ment other sources of income.

Many families participatingin the WIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutrition programreceived up to $20 of vouchersthis summer to buy fresh fruitsand vegetables from localfarmers’ markets. Shoppers atthe Covington farmers’ marketwere eligible for additionalvouchers through a grant pro-gram.

This is the point in the in-fomercial where they go forthe hard sell: Act now! Don’tdelay! Both are true for buyingproduce at farmers’ market.The season is ending soon, sogo online, find the marketthat’s most convenient for you,and start shopping.

Harvesting a healthier diet

Lynne SaddlerCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

When TomWurtz gets on hisanti-evil-progressive incometax shoebox, he leaves outseveral pertinent factors thatwould dramatically alter thelogical outcome of his theory.

Tom points out that nearly50 percent of Americans payzero income tax which is true.He fails to mention, however,all of the ludicrously unfairloopholes, deductions, andcredits that allow somewealthy people to pay little orno income tax. He also forgetsto mention the regressive FICApayroll taxes which have noloopholes and confiscate 15.2percent of a worker’s wages.(7.65 percent “withheld” fromtheir paycheck, and another7.65 in hidden taxes on theworker’s labor that the employ-er pays directly to the federalgovernment.)

Tom believes that everyoneshould pay the same incometax rate. By his calculations, inorder to support the federalgovernment, everyone shouldpay $12,258 in federal income

taxes. Forworkers whomake $15,000or less, thatwould leavethem with zeroincome($15,000 X 15percent FICA= $2,250.$15,000 - ($12,258 +$2,250) = $492for city, coun-

ty, and state taxes, leaving theworker with nothing). Thiswould be what we call, slavery.Is that what you want, Tom?Have you heard of the 13thAmendment?

Let’s say we abolish the 13thAmendment and you get yourslave labor. Who will pay fortheir food, clothing, shelter andheat? Certainly not the federalgovernment because thatwould cause everyone’s incometaxes to be raised thousands ofdollars. If minimumwage hasto be raised to $12 to coveryour “fairness” theory, how

much is that going to raise theprice of your Big Mac? Ridicu-lous scenario? Of course it is,but it is the only logical conclu-sion of taxing income withoutbuilding in progressivity.

There is a simple outside-the-box solution to this. Stoptaxing income! It is not theprogressivity of the currentincome tax code that is evil, itis the taxing of income that isevil. That is why the foundingfathers specifically forbadetaxing income. Article I sectioneight of the Constitution allowstaxes only on tariffs and con-sumption. Thomas Jeffersonwrote in “Common Sense,” “Acapitation (income tax) is morenatural to slavery; a duty onmerchandise (consumptiontax) is more natural to liberty,by reason it has not so direct arelation to the person.”

Tom’s dilemma can besolved by replacing the 77,000-page confiscatory federal in-come tax code with the liberat-ing 302-page fair tax, HR 25,S13. The fair tax is a consump-

tion tax, per the founding fa-thers’ intentions. Unlike thevarious Republican and Demo-cratic proposals on so-calledtax reform, the bipartisan fairtax permanently eliminates allloopholes, as well as the corpo-rate taxes, payroll taxes, estatetaxes, and other federal taxeson income or savings. It haszero forms for the consumer tofill out. It has a much broaderbase.

The fair tax offers a “pre-bate” up to the poverty levelthat untaxes essentials foreveryone. The fair tax rate isthe same for everyone, but it’sbased on consumption, notincome; so it does not stifleproductivity or savings.

Tom ends his article bysaying it is impossible to be-lieve in both progressive taxesand fairness. The fair tax is aconsumption tax that is bothprogressive and fair. Believe!

In the Instant Racing casenow in the Kentucky courts, theBeshear administration and theHorse Racing Commissionhave argued that videos of oldhorse races shown on machinesare the legal equivalent ofactual horse races. The ma-chines show videos involvingmany horses that have longsince died.

Live racing with dead hors-es. Go figure.

In 2010, lawyers for thehorse racing industry used thisreasoning before a Frankfortjudge whose approval theyneeded to allow Instant Racingslot machines at horse tracks.The high-priced lawyers hiredby the tracks and Beshearadministration attorneys con-vinced the judge that this rea-soning actually made sense.Part of the problem stemmedfrom the judge’s refusal toallow The Family Foundation,which had entered the case tooppose the move, to ask anypre-trial questions, review anydocuments, develop any proof

or inspect themachines inquestion.

After deny-ing The Fam-ily Foundationall discoveryrights, thecase moved tothe Court ofAppeals. Thehorse racingindustry thenmade a motion

to bypass the Appeals Courtaltogether, sending the casedirectly to the Kentucky Su-preme Court. But the highcourt refused the attempt in aunanimous decision.

When the Appeals Courtruled in June of this year, itagreed with The Family Foun-dation that the facts needed tobe heard. It found the trialcourt had “abused its discre-tion,” sending the case back tothe lower court in order toallow for questions to finally beasked. What did horse industrylawyers do? They filed another

motion to move the case to theKentucky Supreme Court.

It seems anything is prefer-able to putting the facts on thetable.

What does it say about thecase for Instant Racing thatadvocates think they have abetter chance if the facts re-main hidden?

So far, no court has looked atan Instant Racing machine. Thehorse racing industry has nev-er answered a question fromInstant Racing opponents. Ithas never been required toproduce a single document.Numerous motions have beenfiled, but the courts have yet toactually hear the facts of thecase.

What is Instant Racing?Where are the horses in thevideos? Are the horses alive ordead? Are patrons betting ondead horses or on electronicreels? How can new odds becalculated on a race that wascompleted years before? Howcan it be pari-mutuel wageringwhen the Instant Racing patent

describes the wagering pool asa unique pool of one?

A court cannot legitimatelydecide this case if these ques-tions and others like it are nev-er answered.

The Supreme Court is un-likely to be convinced that itshould take a case in which noevidence has even been heard.It’s kind of hard to make a deci-sion when the merits of thecase haven’t been presented.

What will lawyers for theadministration and the racingindustry do if the SupremeCourt rules against them again?Will they make their argumentthat a video of a horse race isan actual horse race by sendinga video of their lawyers insteadof actual lawyers to argue theircase in front of the judge?

Martin Cothran is the senior policyanalyst for The Family Foundation,a nonprofit educational organiza-tion that works in the public policyarena in Kentucky on behalf of thefamily and the values that makefamilies strong.

There’s one kind ofrecipe I can never getenough of: appetizers. I’llbet you’re in that predica-ment sometimes too, sotoday I’m sharing somefavorite appetizer recipes.

And remember, we eatwith our eyes as well as

our tum-mies, sogarnishinga dish, evensimply, isworth thetrouble.

Tryedible flow-ers, herbsor just afew parsleysprigs.

Your food will look as goodas it tastes. (Check out mywebsite, abouteating.com,or my blog, Cooking withRita, for videos and photosof edible flowers andherbs and how to usethem).

And here’s a tip forthose zucchini that seemto know no bounds. Everyyear there’s a couple thatgrow to the size of ballbats seemingly overnight.I’ll cut them, scoop outseeds if necessary andgrate them. Nice to havein winter for soups, breadsand muffins.

Rita’s Hall of Famehoney-roastedalmonds

Almonds, like all nuts,contain fiber and protein,plus a good amount ofcalcium. This is my mostpopular roasted nut reci-pe. Don’t forget to toastthe nuts first; otherwisethe coating won’t adherewell. These make a greatgift from the kitchen and anice snack to tote on trips.

2 cups whole almonds withskin, toasted

¼ cup sugar½ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons each: honeyand water

2 teaspoons canola oil

Mix sugar and salt inlarge bowl and set aside.Stir together honey, waterand oil in pan and bring toa boil. Immediately stir innuts and continue to cookand stir until liquid isabsorbed, about 5 minutes.Immediately transfer nutsto bowl with sugar/saltmixture and toss untilevenly coated. Pour outonto sprayed cookie sheet.When cool, break up andstore airtight at roomtemperature up to amonth.

To toast nuts: Pour insingle layer on cookie

sheet. Roast at 350 de-grees until fragrant, about10-15 minutes. Stir fromoutside edge into center acouple of times.

Healthier goatcheese dip withherbs

6 oz. goat cheese, low fat ifpossible

1 tablespoon plain Greekyogurt

Up to 1 tablespoon olive oil1⁄3 cup parsley2 teaspoons each: choppedmint and thyme

Salt and freshly groundpepper to taste

Celery stalks or other rawveggies for dipping

Put cheese, yogurt andolive oil in food processoruntil smooth. Stir in herbsand seasonings. Chill atleast 1 hour before serv-ing.

Health tip from Rita:Stalks of health

Celery contains vita-min C, calcium and potas-sium, which means it’sgood for the heart. Celeryhelps prevent cancer andhigh blood pressure. Theleaves have even morenutrients than the ribs, soleave them on!

Chile con quesoAwesome with multi-

colored tortilla chips.

1 cup grated extra sharpcheddar

½ cup Velveeta, cut into

pieces½ cup whipping cream2 tablespoons choppedyellow onion

2 tablespoons diced tomato1 jalapeño, stemmed,seeded and diced

Tortilla chips

Put cheddar and Vel-veeta into a non-stick potor double boiler over lowheat and heat until cheesemixture is nearly melted.Add cream and whiskconstantly until hot andsmooth. Pour into servingdish and sprinkle withonions, tomatoes and jal-apenos.

Bacon-wrappeddates stuffed withblue cheese

I made these for a dia-betic cooking class. Thestudents wanted a sophis-ticated yet easy appetizerand these were a winner.Even if you aren’t watch-ing carbs you’ll like these.You can use turkey bacon,as well.

12 pieces of bacon36 pitted dates1 cup crumbled blue cheese

Cut bacon into thirds

and fry until partiallycooked but not crisp. Youwant to be able to wrapthem around the dates.Drain and keep warm. Cuta slit in center of date andfill with cheese. Wrapbacon around and securewith toothpick. Bake at375 degrees until bacon iscrisp, about 10-12 minutes.

Diabetic exchanges:1/2 starch, 1/2 fat for oneappetizer

HEIKENFELD.

CLARIFYING – PRESERVING ROASTEDTOMATOESI like to freeze mine and sometimes I’ll chop them up

after removing skins and sometimes I’ll leave them inhalves. If you want to leave the skins on them, I suggestchopping the tomatoes up before freezing. I just put abatch through my food processor and they look good.Remember, though, skins can be tough.Also if you like, when roasting them cut side up, sprinkle

on some herbs as well as olive oil, like minced thyme,garlic, basil or even dried Italian seasoning for anotherlayer of flavor. You can also season them with salt andpepper.

New legislation signedinto law gives the govern-ment more authority overinterstate moving compa-nies. This comes as thegovernment shut down 75moving companies lastyear. But problems withmoving companies con-tinue, so you need to be-ware.

Vicki Quinn needed tomove her mother fromFlorida to Colerain Town-ship and searched theInternet for moving com-panies. She and her sistercalled several companies.They picked one that

wasn’texactly thecheapest,or the mostexpensive.“Theyseemed tobe veryprofession-al, andthat’s kindof how we

decided on them,” Quinnsaid.

They picked GreatAmerican Van Lines outof Fort Lauderdale, Fla.“They were very helpful.The mover was incred-

ible. He came, wrappedmom’s things. He tapedthem and seemed to takegreat pride in how heloaded the truck,” Quinnsaid.

The cost of the movewas estimated to be$1,615, but after the mov-ing truck arrived at thenew home the bill jumpedto $2,370. Although pack-ing costs had now beenadded, Quinn says shedidn’t fully understandhow the bill got that high.She says the moversdidn’t explain it andwouldn’t unload the truckuntil they were paid incash upfront. “They abso-lutely refused. They said,‘We’re driving out ofhere. We’ll go in storageand you’ll pay again forus to re-deliver’,” shesaid.

Quinn ended up payingin full and says she wasshocked at what shefound when they unload-ed the truck. There weremore than 20 items miss-ing. “Pots and pans, someof her dishes and chairswere missing. The ironicthing is we paid like $76 apiece to have the glasswrapped for the top ofher furniture and it didn’tarrive. So, we paid extraover and above for thatand three of the fivepieces aren’t here … it’slost. They don’t know

where it is,” Quinn said.A spokesman for

Great American VanLines says they’re stilllooking for all the items,adding this has neverhappened before. Quinnvalues the lost items atabout $5,000, but GreatAmerican Van Lines saysit’s only prepared to payher 60 cents per pound.

The company spokes-man says Quinn didn’twant full replacementvalue insurance andsigned papers to thateffect. Quinn says shenever was given thatoption and never turneddown full coverage. So Iasked the company forthe paperwork showingshe declined coverage,but have yet to receive it.

As a result, Quinn isfiling a complaint withfederal regulators fromthe U.S. Department ofTransportation’s FederalMotor Carrier SafetyAdministration.

Under the law, “Unlessa shipper waives fullvalue insurance in writ-ing, a carrier’s maximumliability for householdgoods that are lost, dam-aged, destroyed or other-wise not delivered to thefinal destination is equalto the replacement valueof such goods.” That’ssubject to the declaredvalue of the goods.

Question: I have notbeen able to do muchwatering this summer.How much water doplants really need to sur-vive?

Answer: Trees, espe-cially evergreens, oftensuffer for months or evenyears after an extendeddrought. Prolonged hot,dry weather also makesthe plants more suscep-tible to attack from vari-ous plant diseases andharmful insects such asborers, which often take ayear or more to actuallykill the tree or even leadto symptoms.

The roots of trees andshrubs are shallow, sincethey require oxygen.Even with large trees,over 90 percent of thefeeder roots are in the top12 inches of soil, whichdries out rapidly during adrought.

The best time to wateris in the early morningbefore the heat of the day.There is less water lost toevaporation at that time.If that’s not possible, justbe sure the plant’s leaveshave time to dry off be-fore nightfall, since pro-longed leaf wetness leadsto serious foliage dis-eases.

Frequent shallow wa-tering, such as that pro-vided by sprinkling plantsevery couple of days, willpromote a root systemthat is shallow.

Such plants are verysusceptible to periods ofeven mild drought such

as a lack ofwater dur-ing thehomeown-er’s week-long vaca-tion, not tomentionperiods ofmore ex-tremedrought.Less fre-

quent but thorough water-ing is best.

However, for newlyseeded lawns, light, dailywatering is needed untilthe new grass comes up.And newly planted flow-ers may need wateredevery couple of days untilnew roots form.

Most trees and shrubsrecommended for Ken-tucky will do well if theyreceive one inch of water(either rainfall or irriga-tion) every seven to 10days. Such plants still dowell when watered ap-proximately every 10-14days during periods ofdry weather. Less estab-lished trees (less than twoto three years from trans-planting) should be wa-tered every seven days,however. The dry periodbetween watering willencourage roots to go afew inches deeper intothe soil where water maybe available.

At each watering, anapplication of at least oneinch of water should bemade to the area underthe drip line of the tree’sfoliage. Watering infre-

quently but thoroughlyalong with a 3-inch layerof organic mulch is thebest insurance you canhave for trees and shrubsto survive during dryconditions.

Annual and perennialflowers have less expan-sive root systems thantrees and shrubs, but willstill develop deeper rootswhen watered thoroughlyand allowed to dry be-tween watering. A thor-ough watering (one inchor more) on a weeklybasis during dry weathershould suffice. Morefrequent watering (one-half inch every two tothree days) will be need-ed during the first weekor two after transplantingto ensure that the plantsbecome well established.
