The library did not make a le- gal notice of the potential tax rates in the event the ballot mea- sure failed, said JC Morgan, li- brary director. “We did not advertise that rate as we were required to by state law,” Morgan said. The library asked for the re- printing because having the proper tax rate is the right thing to do, he said. “That reprinting will come at our expense,” Morgan said. The incorrect rate of 9.4 cents per $100 of property valuation for library tax portion of property taxes was printed on the bills. Voters turned down the 9.4 cents rate at the polls, rejecting the 27 percent tax increase from the 2011rate of 7.4 cents per $100 of assessed value. State law pertaining to legal petitions required no action by the library board, and the rate automatically reverts to the com- pensating rate set by the state, he said. Morgan said the library was notified of the wrong rate being on the tax bills Nov. 8. The correct rate that will be on the reprinted tax bills will be 7.7 cents per $100 of assessed property valuation. “And we reacted immediately to have the tax bills printed cor- rectly,” Morgan said. The library will pay the coun- ty clerk and sheriff offices for the cost of reprinting and stuff- ing the new tax bills in envelopes, he said. All tax bills, numbering about 32,000, are in the process of being reprinted, said Campbell County Clerk Jack Snodgrass, whose of- fice prints the bills.

"One word: Freedom," said Dave Reusch, a member of the Lawler-Hanlon Veterans of For- eign Wars Post 5662 in Newport and the District 9 commander covering the entire Northern Kentucky region. Reusch, of Crescent Springs, served in the Navy in Vietnam. "Freedom doesn't come free," Reusch said. "It costs money. It costs resources. It costs lives." An 11 a.m. ceremony featur- ing a benediction, speech and 21- gun salute outside the Newport City Building marked the day for veterans that began as a re- membrance of the armistice to end World War I that began on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Newport native Tom Brown, who also served in the Navy dur- ing Vietnam, is the Lawler-Han- lon post commander. Brown said President Ronald Reagan said in a speech that sol- diers who died defending their country lose two lives, the one they lived and the one they might have lived as husbands, fathers and grandfathers. "It's the reason you're living the life you're living," Brown said of the sacrifice soldiers made. People cannot forget how they got their freedoms, said Robert Veenkant, commander of American Legion Post 11 in Newport, and a Latonia resi- dent. There are still people fighting for freedoms people enjoy in the U.S. every day, said Veenkant, a U.S. Army veteran. "We've still got veterans over there fighting for our freedom," he said. Jeff Kidwell, featured speak- er for the ceremony, said it was his first speech as Campbell County Sheriff since taking of- fice Nov. 7. Kidwell said he remembers his own father on Veterans Day for serving, and asked people to remember veterans' sacrifices. "I also ask that we remember those active duty personnel," he said.

    Snodgrass said.The cost of reprinting

    the tax bills will likely bearound $20,000, he said.

    Snodgrass said the li-brarysboardhad tosend ina tax rate for the printedbills within 45 days afterJuly17 when thePropertyValuation Administratorcertified all property valu-ations in the county. The li-brary board sent in the 9.4cent tax rate, he said.

    Snodgrass said this isthe first time the tax billshave had to be reprintedfor an incorrect rate for atleast the 23 years he hasbeen in office.

    There was a way for thelibrary board to avoid thetax bills being printed in-correctly, he said.

    There is a law, if we donot receive a tax rate by acertain date it remains thesame as it was the previousyear, Snodgrass said.That could have beendone, but it wasnt.

    Bills further delayed

    The need to reprint thetax bills will further delayproperty owners receivingtheir bills probably by anextra week, said Jim Seib-ert, financedirector for theCampbell County Sheriffoffice. Mailing of tax billswas previously delayed bytwo weeks to wait for theelection of a new sheriffand related state requiredaudit, Seibert said.

    The library tax rate er-ror was discovered late inthe afternoon Thursday,Nov. 8, he said.

    It will take about aweekfor the office staff to printlettersanduseamachinetostuff the new tax bills intoenvelopes, Seibert said.The misprinted tax billswere ready to be mailedNov. 14 on an already de-layed collection schedule,he said.

    NEWPORT In Janu-ary, twonewmemberswilljoin the Newport SchoolBoard.

    Challengers ShaunThacker and Theresa Mil-ler beat incumbents WillisGregory and MatthewScott in the recent elec-tion.

    For the unexpiredterm, currently filled byGregory,whowasappoint-ed to the board earlier thisyear, the most votes wenttoCarolynDuffwith1,320.

    However, since Duffwithdrew from the racefor medical reasons, thevictory went to Thacker,with1,112votes overGreg-

    orys 905 votes.Gregory said he thinks

    itmay have turned out dif-ferently if more peoplewould have been awarethat Duff had withdrew.

    County Clerk JackSnodgrass said it is his of-fices responsibility to no-tify voters if someonewithdraws by hanging onesign in each precinct,which they did.

    Gregory said for him,the election, being hisfirst, was a learning expe-rience and he hopes to runa better race in two years.

    Until then, Im still aparent, and Ill still be in-volved, Gregory said.

    Thacker, a lifelongNewport resident, said hefeels bad that Duff had towithdrawsinceshetechni-cally won, but hes excitedto be part of the board.

    I think we all canagree on a lot about whatsbest for the students andreally get the ball rolling,he said.

    Thacker andMillerwilljoin board chair RamonaMalone, who wasnt up forre-election, and incum-bents Melissa Sheffel andJulie Smith-Morrow, who

    won in the election overthree other challengers,BobBarnett, RobRummeland David Amanns.

    Sheffel, who has beenon the board for about twoyears and has two sons inthe district, said she isthrilled that she receivedthe support she needed tobe re-elected to the board,but wishes things wouldhaveworkedoutbetter forher colleagues Scott andGregory.

    As long as every-bodys goals, which shouldbe to help the students, arethe same, I think the boardmembers will be able towork together, Sheffelsaid.

    Smith-Morrow, whohas been on the board forabout five years, said sheis excited to have thechance to continue im-proving the district.

    Smith-Morrow saidwhile some of the chal-lengers had some con-cerns, she hopes that oncethey join the board, theywill see that many of theirconcerns are already be-ing addressed and that thegroup as a whole canworktogether.

    cation council has with thepublic, the cancellation ofthe annual car cruise-inevent and the switchinggarbage and recycling ser-vice-providers.

    Every single thing I

    have said from the begin-ning of my campaign, I saidI promise you I will not runa negative campaign, I willnot say anything that is notfact or public record, and Ihave stuck with that, shesaid.

    Cavanaugh said her ap-proach is simply straight-forward.

    I do believe the voters

    did send a message thatthey want someone differ-ent, she said.

    Oehrle received 1,637votes, for the lowest votetally of the eight candi-dates, in his losing bid for aseventh term.

    Certainly, I am disap-pointed about the election,but I appreciate the privi-lege of having served on

    council for the past 12years, Oehrle said. Ithink the council, mayorand I have accomplished agreat deal.

    Oehrle said he appreci-ates the citizens trust in al-lowing him to serve, and heis looking forward to havingadditional time to enjoy hisfamily and other activities.

    I work full time as a re-

    search chemist for a largemultinational corporationaswell as I teachchemistrypart-time atNKU, he said.In addition, I also coachmy sons indoor soccerteam now as well as volun-teer at schools doing sci-encedemonstrations forel-ementary and middleschool kids.

    Oehrle said he has

    learned to never say nev-er on the issue of anotherpossible reelection to coun-cil, but he has enough tokeep busy right now.

    I think all of us did a lotto improve the city of ColdSpring, and while we allhad a wide range of opi-nions we could come to-gether andwork for the cit-izens, he said.

    ALEXANDRIA CampbellCountyHigh School sent five stu-dents to the national FutureFarmers of America conventionin October, and three of themdidnt grow up in farming.

    All five of the students, JessieStrasinger, Luke Trapp, SidneyBoots, HannahWeber, and JamesWilbers, placed in the top 10 atthe national FFA convention inIndianapolis Oct. 23-27.

    About 55,000 students attend-ed the FFA national convention,and it was an eye-opener forthe five students to place in thetop10 in the country, said agricul-ture teacher O.P. McCubbins.

    McCubbins said his mission

    includes reaching and teachingthe many students who didntgrow up on a farm. Agriculturetouches everyone from theclothes they wear to what theyeat, and only 2 percent of agricul-ture jobs are in farming, he said.

    I try to open the kids eyes tothe other 98 percent, McCub-bins said.

    Careers include the agricul-tural biology, food science, chem-ical engineering, wildlife biologyor management, and even land-scaping, McCubbins said.

    McCubbins said he is workingwith Hillshire Brands, operatorof the former Sara Lee plant, toopen up a meats lab on the highschools campusnext school year.The goal is to teach food science,processing and distribution to a

    global economy, he said.Science brought junior Han-

    nahWeber of Alexandria into theschools FFAchapter.Weber,whodid not grow up on a farm, placedeighth in the nation with a goldrating in theFFAagriscience fairfor her study of Essential OilsEffect on the Inhibition of E. co-li. Weber also won a bronze rat-ing in the prepared public speak-ing competition.

    Weber said her speech fo-cused on how different plants ei-ther absorb or break down met-als and other organic chemicalsin soil.

    Basically, its just usingplants to clean up the environ-ment, she said.

    Junior Sidney Boots of Alex-andria and junior Jessie Strasin-

    ger took ninth in the nationwith asilver rating for their study ofStudent Perceptions on Geneti-cally Modified Foods.

    Ever since my freshmanyear Ihavebeenextremely inter-ested in becoming an agricultureeducator, and I did not grow up inin a rural or agricultural back-ground, Boots said.

    Boots said it was her first tripto FFA nationals and she enjoyedmeeting people who all share acommon interest in agriculture.They all wore blue FFA jackets,and the state on the back didntmatter in conversations, shesaid.

    Sophomores JamesWilbers ofCalifornia and Luke Trapp tooksecondplaceandagold rating fortheir Grain Fed Verses Grain

    and Grass Fed Goats project.Whether thegoats ate an all grainor all grassdiet didnt seemto im-pact the animals weight,Wilberssaid.

    Wilbers said he did growupona farm, and he plans to major inagriculture in college.Not every-one attending the high schoolfarms, so being in FFA was agreat way to open up opportuni-ties and meet other people inter-ested in the subject, he said.

    Being at the national conven-tion was a great way to meet andkeep up with a bunch of newfriends, Wilbers said.

    I thought it was pretty coolwhen we were in the stadiumlooking out over the crowd, ev-erybody in their blue jackets,that was pretty cool, he said.

    SOUTHGATE The bank ac-counts of the Southgate Educa-tional Foundation and the LionsPride parent organization havegotten a little fuller thanks to thegenerosity of a local companyand hard work by the students.

    The two groups, which bothsupport Southgate IndependentSchool, recently received a $500donation each from Aguiar Lawoffice, a Louisville business thatjust opened its first local office inNewport.

    I think its amazing when youhave a business that moves here,and right away theyre trying tohelp the community, said DwainBowling, past president of thefoundation. They are being tre-mendous corporate citizens.

    The foundation, formed in1999 when the state and federalgovernment started mandatingtechnology the school couldnt af-ford, helps by providing fundsfor a variety of things includingcomputers and software.

    Bowling said the donationmade by Aguiar Law will likely

    be matched in grant money, al-lowing the foundation to spend$1,000 total on the studentsthanks to their generosity.

    John Cannady-Miller, attor-ney with Aguiar Law, said inLouisville, their business is verycommunity oriented and worksto make the neighborhoods andcommunity stronger.

    We wanted to bring that tra-dition up here, Cannady-Millersaid. We hope to do what we canto support the community.

    The business also donatedmoney to the schoolsLionsPrideparent organization, which paysforextracurricularactivities likesports, covering the cost of stu-dent uniforms and fees.

    Thismoneywill definitely beput togooduse, saidKellyRizzo,president of the Lions Pride.

    Along with the donation, thegroup also received additionalfunds through a recent jump-a-thon.

    While the group has hostedwalk-a-thons in thepast asa fund-raiser, school nurse and groupmember Cheryl Iden said theydecidedto trysomethingnewthisyear.

    For the event, students couldcollect flat donations or getpledges for a certain dollaramount for eachminute that theyareable to jumprope,withamax-imum of 15 minutes for kinder-garten throughsecond-gradestu-dents and 30 minutes for third-through eighth-grade students.

    There werent many enjoy-able moments for the NewportCentral Catholic team early inthe season.

    Now its all about fun for theThoroughbreds as they continuetheir quest for a Class 2A statefootball championship.

    TheNewport Central Catholicfootball team routed Holy Cross52-0 Nov. 10 at Newport Stadium,avenging a playoff loss to the In-dians in 2011.

    We have to take it one gameat a time, said NCC head coachEddie Eviston. Last year thatwas somewhat of a problem,looking past Holy Cross. I dontknow why, because theyre sucha great program. But our guyswere ready and they were fo-cused tonight. They were goingto make sure they gave it every-thing they got.

    The Thoroughbreds will take

    on Walton-Verona (10-2) 7 p.m.Friday, Nov. 16, also at Newport.

    The Thoroughbreds have wonsix-straight games to improve to8-4, outscoring opponents by anaverage of 49-10 in that span.Thats a vast difference from a2-4 start to the year, with three of

    the losses to bigger schools andthe other to a similar-sizedGreater Catholic League schoolin Cincinnati McNicholas.

    NewCath is 4-0 against dis-trict foes and owns a 34-14 winover perennial rival Beechwood.

    Its another step, said senior

    quarterback JoshCain. Wehaveto get the job done nextweek andfocus on Walton. Coach puts thegame on the lines job to get itdone. The game depends onthem, and weve been healthyand playing well.

    Against Holy Cross, NewCathrolled to a 28-0 lead at halftime,then tacked on two quick scoresin the first 90 seconds of the thirdquarter. Cain threw a 76-yard TDpass to Mac Franzen, and DylanHayes broke through the middlefor a 55-yard TD run. Hayesrushed for 161 yards on 11 car-ries, including an 80-yard TD inthe first quarter. Kalvin Moorehad a 51-yard TD run and a 27-yard interception return score.Cain threw for 166 yards on justfive completions, two of the TDsto Franzen and one to Pete Collo-py.

    The scorefest was great to bethe quarterback of.

    The second half dom-ination of Ashland Blazergives Highlands momen-tum heading into its show-

    down with CovCath. TheBluebirds outscored theTomcats 36-0 over the finaltwo quarters.

    Wedidn'tmakeanybigadjustments at the half,

    Mueller said. We just fo-cused on the plays wewould run in the secondhalf.Weweren't really anydifferent, but they were alittle worn down.

    Thedefenseset thetonein the second half and hasset the tone for the Blue-birds throughout the sea-son. The unit is led by sen-ior defensive linemanGabe Schultz.

    Gabe Schultz con-tinues to have a great ca-reer, said Mueller. He isstrong, athletic, coachableand determined.

    Schultz is joined upfront by lineman SethHopeandlinebackersReidSchroder, Thomas Wro-bleski and Joey Cochran.In their regular season

    meeting, the Bluebirdssacked CovCath quarter-back Blake Bir five times,picked him off once, andheld him to 6.8 yards perpass attempt.

    Highlands controlledthe ball for 29:43 to just18:42 for the Colonels, andrushed for 293 yards in theregular seasongame.Eachteam has come a long wayand faced some adversitysince their Septembermeeting. The rematchcouldturnintoahigh-scor-ing shootout, or be a grind-it-out slugfest.

    One thing is for certain.Youcanexpect aHigh-

    A8 CAMPBELL COMMUNITY RECORDER NOVEMBER 15, 2012

    When Americans gather tocelebrate a holiday, its usuallyaround a dining room tableormaybe a buffet line if theresa really good game on that day.

    These gatherings can pose ahealth risk.More than 48million peopleeach yearcontract afood-borneillness, ac-cording to theCenters forDisease Con-trol and Pre-vention. Ofthose, 128,000are hospital-

    ized and an additional 3,000 die.You have probably heard

    these basic food safetymes-sages repeatedly: keep hotfoods hot and cold foods cold;wash your hands frequentlyand separate rawmeats fromready-to-eat food items. Thosemessages are what we callFood Safety 101 in publichealth, so please do all of those.

    But to really keep everyonehealthy after themeals, youalso need to pay attention toFood Safety 201as well. As weprepare to start celebr-eating,here are some tips from FoodSafety 201, focusing on takingfood prepared at home to an-other location and what to doonce themeal is over.

    Meals onwheelsBusy hosts and hostesses

    will often ask for their gueststo bring a dish to the holidaymeal. If youre taking foodalong, make sure that you planahead on how to keep perish-able foods at the right temper-ature. Coolers with ice andinsulated bags should be usedwhen needed.

    Make arrangements ahead oftimewith your hosts for howyour foodwill be stored onceyou arrive, whether thats re-serving a burner on the stove, anoutlet for your slow cooker orshelf space in the fridge. If your

    hosts refrigerator is full andyou need to keep a dish cold, usethe cooler you brought it inwithice, or place food in cooler out-side, provided the air temp isbelow 40.

    Leftover logisticsWe tend to want to relax

    after our holidaymeal ends,especially if weve spent allday preparing it. Hold off untilyouvemade sure that theleftovers are put away proper-ly. Please note: This task can bedelegated to the table-clearingor dish-washing crew if yourereally wiped out!

    Any perishable food needsto be eaten or put awaywithintwo hours. Food safety expertsrecommend that leftovers becooled to 41degrees Fahren-heit within four hours.

    If the food is still quite hotwhen youre cleaning up, storeit uncovered in the refrigeratoruntil its cool and then cover it.Help soups and similar foodscool by adding a few ice cubesand stirring.

    Large portions take longerto cool, so its wise to split left-overs into individual portionswhen putting them away.

    Eat your leftovers withinseven days, though three tofour is best. The website holi-dayfoodsafety.org has somegreat recipes for leftover tur-key and ham if you need ideas.

    Once you are ready to eatthose leftovers, make sure youheat the food to 165 degreesFahrenheit.

    Gathering around the tableat the holidays is a time tomakememories. Paying atten-tion to Food Safety 101and 201will help everyone leave theirholiday gatherings withmemo-ries of the hilarious stories anuncle told or the crazy newboyfriend a sister broughthome and not an aching bellyor queasy stomach.

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR

    On Sept. 22, I received anemail from a grieving mother inOldham County who had lost achild to a prescription drugoverdose. Her daughter died at afriends house after mixing thedrug Opana with other sub-

    stances. Shewas just 16years old.

    I have re-ceivedmany ofthese lettersand grievedwith far toomany parentsdevastated bythe scourge ofprescriptiondrug abuse. Ivowed to each

    one of these families that I woulddo everything I could to stop thespread of this epidemic.

    Through landmark prescrip-tion drug abuse legislation, myPrescription Drug Diversion TaskForce andmyKeep KentuckyKids Safe awareness initiative,we aremaking progress.

    Over the past decade, pre-scriptions for powerful painkill-ers have soared, making Ken-tucky the thirdmost medicatedstate in the nation. Last year, 219million doses of hydrocodonewere dispensed in Kentucky thats 51doses for everyman,woman and child in this state.

    While some irresponsibledoctors handed out pain pills likecandy, prescription pain-killerabuse rose 900 percent, over-dose deaths doubled and weveseen an alarming 2,400 percentincrease in the number of babiesborn addicted to pain killers.

    Since House Bill 1 (HB1) tookeffect on July 20, fewer of thesehighly addictive controlled sub-stances are being dispensed,marking the first reduction in adecade. Doctors are now re-

    quired to utilize the KentuckyAll Schedule Prescription Elec-tronic Reporting (KASPER)system to separate legitimatepain sufferers from doctor shop-pers.

    Today, KASPER has nearly22,000 registered users, request-ingmore than18,000 reports eachday, most of which are returnedin amatter of seconds.

    Rogue pain clinics are closingup shop in Kentucky. Unable tocomply with the new law, 10 painmanagement clinics have closedtheir doors. And the KentuckyBoard ofMedical Licensure(KBML) has disciplined 35 physi-cians for prescribing violations.10 faced emergency orders ofsuspension and five surrenderedtheir licenses.

    Under a Memorandum ofUnderstanding (MOU) draftedby my office, we are workinghand-in-hand with the medicallicensure boards, KentuckyState Police (KSP) and the Cab-inet for Health and Family Ser-vices (CHFS) to share informa-tion to identify the most egre-gious cases of illegal or inappro-priate prescribing. Our MOUcreated a centralized databasefor boards like KBML to sharetheir complaints regarding ille-gal or inappropriate prescribingwith law enforcement. The sys-tem has processed 41 complaintssince July.

    We are also working togetherto address a few unintendedconsequences of HB1 and willbe taking a look at exemptionsfor long-term care facilities andin-patient hospital services. Ourgoal is to weed out the very badactors and ensure patients havethe best care possible.

    Additionally, we are continu-ing to work closely with locallaw enforcement through mystatewide drug diversion task

    force to go after these roguepain clinics and unscrupulousdoctors doctors like RichardAlbert, who prescribed morethan 105,000 prescription pillsper month at his Paintsvilleclinic with little to no examina-tion of his patients. Dr. Albertpled guilty last summer to feder-al charges of conspiring to ille-gally distribute and dispensecontrolled substances.

    Keep Kentucky Kids SafeAwareness and education

    continue to be key componentsof our effort to combat prescrip-tion drug abuse. Since Ilaunched the Keep KentuckyKids Safe program in 2010 withconcerned parents, state part-ners and law enforcement agen-cies, Ive warned more than15,000 middle and high schoolstudents across the state aboutthe dangers of abusing prescrip-tion pills.

    We are also listening to whatstudents have to say about thisissue through our annual KeepKentucky Kids Safe video publicservice announcement (PSA)contest. Please encourage amiddle or high school student inyour life to create a 30-secondvideo PSA and enter it into ourcompetition by Dec. 7. The win-ner will receive an Apple iPad.Details are available at http://ag.ky.gov/rxabuse.

    Finally, if you havent alreadydone so, please make sure tolock up and monitor prescriptionmedications in the home andsafely dispose of unneeded med-ications through drop boxes ortake-back events.

    Working together, we can winthe war against prescriptiondrug abuse.

    Kentucky Cured by legend-ary Kentucky journalist Al Smith

    is the book hisfollowers, fansand friendswanted.

    Its a compi-lation of narra-tives and opi-nionsmostlyabout the influ-ential Kentuck-ianswho pro-vided directionfor the stateover the past 75years.

    Some of Smiths observationswere written especially for thisbook. Others first were pub-lished in the LexingtonHerald-Leader and The Courier-Journal.

    Wordsmith, Smiths autobi-ography released in 2011, de-scribed his whiskey-sotted arriv-al in Russellville in 1957 afterhed lost his reporting job at aNewOrleans newspaper. Smitheventually would own the Rus-sellville paper and several othersand become the host of KETslong-running public affairs pro-gram, Comment onKentucky.

    Wordsmith included a riv-eting account of Smiths strug-gles with the bottle and his re-covery from alcoholism. But thegloves rarely came off when hewrote about the powerful andrich-and-famous with whom herubbed shoulders over the pasthalf-century.

    KentuckyCured correctsthat, and is proof, at 85, Smith canstill bitewhen he turns a phrase.

    In a state like Kentucky,Smith writes, leadership often

    falls to political hacks or freshfaces with painless promises,which fail.

    Smiths activism surfaceswhen he blisters Kentucky law-makers who remainmired inthe ignorance and bigotry of oursorry past.

    The author clearlymisses thedeal-making political progres-sives who ran the state, oftenfrom smoky backrooms, until afew decades ago.

    He praises their accomplish-ments but also provides criticalevaluations of their complicatedlives and careers.

    Smith observes that formergovernor and senator A.B. Hap-py Chandler was the leadingcheerleader of his own fan club.

    Another former governor andsenator, Earle C. Clements, isdescribed as cold and unforgiv-ing. Education reformer andRoosevelt WhizKid Edward F.Prichardwas overly infatuatedwith his own bitingwit, and notcareful about debt.

    Grandsons of the powerfulare chips off the giant oaks.

    Smiths essays clearly reflecthis beliefWashington shouldhelp people do what they cant dofor themselves.

    Journalistswho appeared onhis Comment programhave de-batedwhether Smith is aRoose-velt NewDealer or a Johnson

    Great SocietyDemocrat. Ken-tuckyCured provides support forboth sides, and his book againreveals his appreciation for thepowerfulwho struggle to help thepowerless.

    Smith tacklesmore than poli-tics. His topics range from blackhistory in Louisiana to the heroesofWorldWar II. Hes at his bestwhenwriting about those whonever sought the spotlight butswitch on the stage lights forgreat performances.

    Smiths respect forRussellvilleand LoganCounty runs through-out hiswork; not surprising, sinceits where the cure started.Heneeds only three pages in Chapter1 to get to his politicalmentor,LoganCounty political boss Emer-son DocBeauchamp.

    The bookwould have benefitedfrommore aggressive editing.The reprinted columns occasional-ly repeat information. The re-vered SoutheasternConferencebecomes SouthEastern. The yearsforMartha LayneCollins termasgovernor arewrong.HappyChan-dlers title during his baseballyears is never exactly right, andthere are a few others. But theyreminor and dont get in theway ofthe books goal; recognizing peoplewho did the right thing.

    Ive written before that AlSmith has informed, cajoled,agitated and entertained us. Hedoes that again in KentuckyCured. Thats why this is thebook his fans wanted.

    More than60businessesare participating in thisyear's Cincinnati Un-chained, from throughoutthe Tristate. In addition tooffering special, one-dayonly Unchained deals,neighborhood businesseswill be giving away gift

    baskets filled with goodiesfrom participating localbusinesses. All shoppersneed to do to enter is visitlocal businesses through-out the day. A complete listof specials can be found atbuycincy.com/unchained.

    As in past years, Buy-Cincy is partnering withCrafty Supermarket, Cin-cinnatis largest indepen-dent craft show, to help ex-pand Cincinnati Un-chained. The Crafty Super-market, also heldNov.17 atthe Clifton Cultural ArtsCenter, will have a shop-pers passport in the backof the program (also avail-able at buycincy.com.)Shoppers can have theirpassport stamped at Un-chained businesses -- oncethe passport is full, theycan turn it in at any Un-chained business to be en-tered into a raffle for giftbaskets .

    This is the sixth year ofUnchained, held as part ofthe Shift Your Shoppingthe new national campaignof the American Indepen-dent Business Alliance(AMIBA). In Shift YourShopping, AMIBA workswithadvocates for local, in-dependent business to en-courage citizens to make ashift by buying from lo-cal, independent business-es for the holiday season.

    Each year, the partici-pation and excitement inCincinnati Unchainedgrows," says Sean Fisher,BuyCincy co-founder andcreative director. Its be-come not only a day to sup-port our local businesses,but a day-long celebrationof them and of our GreaterCincinnati community.

    cal businesses also meansstrong returns to the localeconomy--recent studiesfound independent restau-rantsgeneratedanaverageof2.15 timesmoredirect lo-cal economic return.

    our local economy, saysKurt Myers, co-founderand business director ofBuyCincy, "and theyre of-ten our friends and neigh-bors, too. By supporting lo-cal businesses, we supportthe growth of our commu-nity and our region.
