FLORENCE—The Flor-ence Freedom qualifiedfor the Frontier Leagueplayoffs for the second-straight season. Theywaited until the penulti-mate day of the regularseason to clinch.
Florence posted a 53-43 regular season recordand held the tiebreakerover the Gateway Griz-zlies for the league’s finalwild card spot.
A strong second halfpropelled the Freedom tothe playoffs. The team iseager to get back to theFrontier League Champi-onship Series after losingcoming just short of thechampionship last year.
“The guys from lastyear feel like we wantsome payback,” said All-Star shortstop Junior Ar-rojo, one of the team’sveteran leaders. “Wewant that ring so muchmore after getting soclose last year.”
The Freedom’s pitch-ing staff was a key to theteam’s improvementdown the stretch. Thebullpen was taxed by thestarters’ struggles to godeep into ballgames.Once the starters foundtheir groove, the bullpengrewrestedandstronger.
“Our bullpen’s reallybeen big for us,” saidstarting pitcher MichaelOros. “Once our startersstarted getting into thesixth inning of games, ittook pressure off of thebullpen.”
Oros earned the vic-
tory that clinched theFreedom’s playoff spot,pitching seven strong in-nings to defeat WindyCity on Sept. 4. He alsotook the mound in theFreedom’s first homeplayoff game of the sea-son, played on Sept. 10 af-ter Recorder deadlines.
The Freedomwere ea-ger to return home afterlosing the first two play-off games on the road tothe Schaumburg Boom-ers.Downinan0-2hole inthe best-of-five series,the Freedom need to winboth games at Universityof Cincinnati MedicalCenter to keep their sea-son alive.
“Our home crowd hasbeen great and havingpeople come out for usreallymakes it fun for usto play,” said Oros. “Wehaven’t been home in awhile. We’re happy to beback home, especiallywith our backs against
the wall.”The lineup has been
strong, led by Arrojo,slugger ByronWiley, andleague MVP Jacob Tanis.The Freedom held theirown in Schaumburg, los-ingaheartbreakingwalk-off 9-8 in the opener andlosing late in Game Two,6-2, after being tiedthrough seven innings.

I’m tired. No, make thatexhausted.
Chances are I’m not alone.We are living in a practice-three-times-a-week, home-work-every-night, overtime-mandatory, 24/7 kind of world.
Rest is sim-ply not sacredanymore. Infact, many seerest as a by-product oflaziness andtake greatpride whenbeing able tosay, “I only getthree hours ofsleep everynight.”
The problem with this mind-set is that it counters every-thing experts teach us abouthealth and wellness. Expertstell us that adequate rest andseven to eight hours of sleepevery night is vital for increas-ing our ability to think moreclearly, be quicker on our feet,and it increases our capacity tolearn and grow as well. (Nowthere’s a great reason to getthose kiddos to bed 30 minutesearlier tonight.)
To add to this, we are nowfinding that a lack of adequatesleep and rest contributesdirectly to weight gain andobesity as well.
“Wait a minute,” you say.“How can a lack of sleep causeme to gain weight?”
The answer is very simple.Without adequate sleep andrest several things happen:
»My ability to think clearlyand focus is impacted; there-fore I make poor choices or optfor fast food more readilybecause I am too tired to cook.
» I ammuch less likely to beactive or exercise withoutadequate rest/sleep. (So, beforeyou purchase those diet pills,try getting an extra hour or
two of sleep instead.)The bible has much to say
on the topic as well. In the bookof Isaiah we are reminded.“Only in returning to me andresting in me will you besaved. In quietness and confi-dence is your strength.” (Isa-iah 30:15)
Where do we find thestrength to continue? Return-ing to God and quietly restingin him.
Can’t seem to get rest evenwhen you long for it? Remem-ber what Jesus told those fol-lowing him, in Matthew11:28:“Come to me, all of you whoare weary and carry heavyburdens, and I will give yourest.” Praying for a peacefulnight’s sleep and talking withGod about your burdens, canhave a powerful impact onyour sleep.
The bible is also very clearregarding the effects of a lackof rest as well. In the book ofHebrews, the author states,“For all who have entered intoGod’s rest have rested fromtheir labors, just as God didafter creating the world. So letus do our best to enter thatrest. But if we disobey God, asthe people of Israel did, we willfall. (Hebrews 4:10-11)
The effects of a lack of restare very clear. We will fall.
So if you’re tired and feellike you’re carrying the weightof the world on your shoulders,find your strength in somequiet time with God today, putdown your burdens and standtall.

Herculean efforts by laborbosses at Kentucky’s teachersunions to convince lawmakersthat charter schools are neitherneeded nor wanted in the com-monwealth have succeeded.
Our commonwealth re-mains one of only eight stateswithout charter schools –publicly funded schools oper-ated differently than the tra-ditional public schools.
For example, the principalof a successful charter schooldoesn’t have to check withsome overpaid bureaucrat atthe central office to deter-mine if the union contractallows him to hire the brightyoung math teacher sitting infront of him instead of beingforced to employ a hanger-oncoasting toward a big taxpay-er-funded pension who longago lost interest in teaching.
Also, teachers at the na-tion’s nearly 6,000 successfulcharter schools can stay past2:45 in the afternoon – withoutrisking the wrath of the unionboss or jealous colleagues – toensure that Little Johnnydoesn’t get pushed into tomor-row’s new lesson without hav-ing fully mastered today’smaterial.
Such refusal to go aboveand beyond teachers unioncontracts goes a long waytoward Little Johnny becom-ing Big John who can’t read ordo basic math but neverthe-less is wearing a cap andgown at commencement time.
In fact, many teachers atsuccessful charter schoolsrun by organizations likeKnowledge is Power Program(KIPP academies) are re-quired to make their cell-phone numbers available totheir students so they canreach them 24/7.
Fortunate-ly, the successthat charterschools havewith many ofour nation’smost vul-nerable chil-dren – those indanger ofdropping out,selling drugsor who-knows-
what on the street corner or,worse, landing in prison or themorgue – is not being lost on aconstituency whose kids arefalling through the academicand social cracks in our tradi-tional public schools righthere in Kentucky.
A new report by the nation-ally respected Black Alliancefor Educational Options re-ports:
»Nine in 10 black Kentuck-ians believe governmentshould provide parents withas many choices as possible toensure their children receivea good education.
»Black Kentuckians arelike their fellowwhites in thatthemore they know aboutcharter schools – particularlythat they help give lower-in-come black students trapped infailing schools more opportuni-ties – themore likely they areto support giving charters achance in Kentucky.
This groundbreaking surveyshould help shut themouths ofthose legislative lions whoclaim to represent the blackcommunity in the KentuckyGeneral Assembly but whoallege that their constituentsdon’t support – or aren’t in-terested – in charter schools.
But black politicians, whorepresent primarily Kentuck-y’s urban areas, would be wise
to pay attention to a couple ofother results from this sur-vey:
» Support for charters washighest among younger blackvoters with lower incomesand fewer years of formaleducation; opposition wasstrongest among blacks withhigher incomes and moreyears of formal education.
The good news here is thatsupport for charters is highestamong those families most inneed of options; the sad newsis that too many successfulblacks ignore the fact that toomany of our black studentsbear the brunt of a failingeducation system.
Successful black busi-nessmen and women are in aposition to help, but too oftenselfishly don’t.
Politicians who opposecharter schools for flimsyreasons might want to recon-sider their claims to representthe truly needy in their com-munities.
» There’s strong supportfor charters in each of Ken-tucky’s six congressionaldistricts.
Reasonable Kentuckiansstatewide know our public-education system fails toomany of our black and low-income students – a demo-graphic that tests between 21and 30 points lower than theirwhite affluent and middle-class peers.
It’s unreasonable – andsimply unacceptable – fortheir representatives inFrankfort to ignore the needfor real options any longer.

about different religious ideas.I’ve been around church
denominations that felt as ifthey had it 100 percent right.Some religious denominationsthink they are the only onesgoing to heaven.
As a young minister therewere plenty of days when Iignorantly thought that someof the other Christian denom-inations had it all wrong. Actu-ally, in my opinion some ofthem do have some of it wrong.The beauty of America is thatwe enjoy the freedom to lookat another religious entity orchurch and disagree with whatthey say and teach as long as itis in a civil manner. We havethe freedom to preach what webelieve and proselytize mem-bers from the ranks of otherchurches and religions.
We should not harass otherchurches or religious entities.We can validate our point ofview by utilizing persuasivelanguage and religious docu-ments. After this, the church,mosque, temple or whatever itis that sits across the street ordown the road must be free topractice its religion.
We’ve seen religious fightingtoo often on television. FromEgypt we’ve heard about thepower of theMuslim brother-hood and fromAfghanistan thefighting between the Sunnis andShias. We have enough prob-lems in our country and theaverage American is not in-terested in religious violence.
The First Amendment to theU.S. Constitution states that“Congress shall make no lawrespecting an establishment ofreligion, or prohibiting the freeexercise thereof ...” Article VIspecifies “that no religious testshall ever be required as a qual-ification to any Office or publicTrust under the United States.”
Our forefathers came toAmerica to distance them-selves from a religion run andoppressed by the government.
As long as religion is notdoing anything illegal or doesnot hurt the citizens of a coun-try, then it should be free topractice its beliefs.
Our nation is host to a multi-tude of religious opinions andgroups. Each entity shouldenjoy the religious freedomthat America offers.
Americamust remain aplace wherereligions arefree to comeand practicetheir religion. Iam a Christian,so I’m not veryexcited to seethe explosionof other reli-gions through-out our coun-
try. It is said that the generaloverall Christian populationhas become lackadaisical orlukewarm. This attitude isevidenced by a lack of churchattendance and church build-ings that have few people at-tending. Some churches havegone out of business and soldtheir buildings.
America is a land of theexercise of free religion. Weshould not begrudge otherreligions that become passion-ate and flourish in their work.Wemay not agree with theirbeliefs and what they are prop-agating but this is America. Aslong as religion does not vio-late the law, it should be wel-
comed in America.I’ve been around strong
religious opinions all my life.When I was child I would hearmy grandparents and my par-ents declare their feelings
This is part of what makesAmerica great. We need tokeep it great.
The day may come in Amer-ica when there are more ofanother religious group thanthere are Christians. How willChristians feel if anothergroup becomes dominant andthen pushes reading their reli-gious documents and prayingprayers that do not include thename of Jesus? When a groupis in the religious minority itmay not feel very good whenthe religious majority pushesthem around.
A praying America is abetter and stronger America.
Rejoice for religious free-dom! Practice it freely, passion-ately, joyfully! Respect others.Be considerate. Listen to whatothers have to say. Have courte-ous exchanges of conversations.Postulate your position butrealize those listeningmaywantto postulate a reply.

Florence resident MichaelStutler bowls and hurls javelinsfrom the seat of a wheelchair.
Through the nonprofitWheelchair Veterans in Sports,Stutlerandotherscompetewithother people in wheelchairs innational, regional and localcompetitions.
The nonprofit’s biggest an-nual fundraiser – a night of din-ner,dancingandraffles–willbeat the Newport Elks Lodge inCold Spring Saturday, Sept. 28.Money from the fundraiser willpay to senddisabledveterans tocompete in events, includingtrack and field, swimming, andskiing, Stutler said.
Veterans who compete feelbetter physically and buildsself-esteem, he said.
“I mean, you’ve got otherpeople that are rootin’ andscreamin’ and hollerin’ to getyoumotivated and keep you go-ing,” Stutler said. “And that alltransfers into your home lifebecause then you’ll want to getout and do stuff.”
Each Wednesday, he said hebowls with other wheelchairvetsatSuperBowlBellewood inWoodlawn,nearFortThomas. Itis handicap accessible, andthere are ramps for people whocan’t lift up the bowling ball.
Stutler, a U.S. Air Force vet-eran, said he was paralyzed in asurfing accident while on base,but off duty, in Hawaii.
“When I first got hurt back in1986 I didn’t think there was go-
ing to be a whole lot open tome,and when you first get hurt youthink, ‘well, I can’t do this, Ican’t do that,” he said.
Workingwithaphysicalther-apist, Stutler said he found outthere were many things he cando.
“There’s just about every-thing,” he said. “I saw video to-day that there’s this guy in awheelchair and he’s base jump-ing.”
Stutler said he also is part ofawheelchair pool player associ-ation, and travels to the Nation-
al Veterans Wheelchair Gameseach year to compete in javelinand shot put.
Any Cincinnati-area veteranin a wheelchair interested inpursuing a sport, whether it isfor a sanctioned veteran’swheelchair event or a privatecycling competition, is wel-come to apply for funding fromthe group, Stutler said.
Helping other veterans stayactive is what the group is allabout.
The nonprofit group is alsoseeking to buy a new throwingchair for team members toshareat thenationalwheelchairgames in sports including shotput and the javelin, Stutler said.
Stutler said he has used athrowing chair while throwingjavelin, and it puts him about 12inches higher and in amore sta-ble position than his regularwheelchair.
“The last timeI threwoutofathrowing chair ... my longestjavelin throw was 12.2 meters,”he said.
Lisa Wilson, of Cold Spring,
said Wheelchair Veterans moti-vated her to go back and get hernursing license tobecomeareg-istered nurse. An Army veter-an, she is still recovering fromatraumatic brain injury from aDec. 11, 2000, auto accidentwhen she hydroplaned andcrashed on her way home fromwork.
“I was in a coma for threemonths,” she said.
Wheelchair sports helpedher learn about herself, Wilsonsaid.
“If it wasn’t for the group, Iwould have ended up secludingmyselfbecauseofmydisability,so it’s a motivation for me get-ting involved,” she said.
Wilson said one of the sportsshe learnedwas airsoft gun andtrap shooting. She was at theDisabled American Veterans’swinter sports clinic in Snow-mass, Colo., when she first shotfrom a chair. She used to shootguns before being injured.
“I was at the range at Snow-mass, and I remember I was soexcited at being able to shootagain I was boohooing and cry-ing,” she said.
Wheelchair Veterans inSports member Rick Olson ofWithamsville, Ohio, said heloves to kayak. A Vietnam WareraArmyveteranwhoservedinGermany, he saidhehad to startusing a wheelchair after a 1981motorcycle accident.
The group has bought airsoftguns for competitions and paysfor people to travel and stay atathletic events, Olson said.Some have reunited with otherveterans they haven’t seen foryears at the competitions, andit’s a lot of fun.
“It’s getting veterans out ofthe house so they don’t feel sor-ry for themselves,” Olson said.

Every cloud has asilver lining. There’s areason for everything.Being challenged in lifeis inevitable, being de-feated is optional. Our
familyfriend,Ruth AnnAshburn,could havequotedthese say-ings aftera stormwreckedhavoc withtwo of herfavorite
trees: A maple sheraised from a saplingand the tallest wildcherry tree I’ve everseen. My husband,Frank, and I went overto help. Frank broughthis saw and tackled thesmaller limbs. The pro-fessionals came in forthe rest. The silver lin-ing here is we now havea good amount of woodaging for next year.
The storm alsoknocked a lot of ourapples off our trees, so Ihad to use the fallenones up. GranddaughterEva and I made apple-sauce for her little sis-ter, Emerson. Shewashed the apples and Ichunked them up forthe slow cooker. I alsodehydrated some applesand have apple leather/rollups drying in thesun. Check my blog forthose recipes plus pho-tos.
Chris Lipnick’s appleblossom cake
Chris, a Kentuckyreader, immigrated tothis country from Ger-many. Chris, like mydaughter-in-law Inge, isan expert baker. Chris
shared this recipe awhile back and I getrequests for it whenapple season rollsaround. A moist and“good keeper” cake.“Everyone wants therecipe,” Chris told me.

Kathy L.’s poorman’s lobster
I knew I could counton you! A reader whohad lost her recipe andwas hoping beyond allhope that I could helpfind it requested this.“I’ve made this quite abit although not recent-ly. This recipe is prob-ably at least 20 yearsold. Since I dusted thisoff, I think I will fix itagain soon,” Kathy said.
Cut each block offillets into equal chunkseach about 1-inchsquare. In a mediumsaucepan, bring water,vinegar and salt to aboil over moderatelyhigh heat. Add fishchunks and reduce heatto moderate and simmer15 minutes until fish is
opaque in center. Use anovenproof pan and meltthe butter in it. Removefish with slotted spoonand place in a singlelayer in prepared pan.Sprinkle fish with pa-prika and spoon butterover fish. Broil 3 to 5inches from heat sourcefor about 5 minutes,spooning butter overfish once.
Roasted smashedpotato cakes
For Susan B., anEastside reader, who atethese at a restaurant.
“They were seasonedwith just salt and pep-per, and garnished withchives,” she said.
About 2 pounds small orbaby potatoes (I usedmylittle garden potatoes)
Olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteOnion chivesSour cream (optional)
Cook potatoes anddrain. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Brushbaking sheet with oiland heat in oven for 5minutes. When potatoesare cool enough to han-
dle, gently flatten andbrush with oil, and addseasonings. Roast about15 minutes or so. Turnover and roast untilgolden, another 15 min-utes or so. Garnish withchives and side of sourcream.

50th Anniversary
Ron and Norma (Lawson)Peace celebrated their50th Wedding Anniversa-ry on September 7, 2013.The couple was marriedon September 7, 1963 inWilliamsburg, KY. Ron isretired from Common-wealth Life InsuranceCompany. Norma is re-tired from the CovingtonSchool System. Theyhave three sons, Tim, Phil-lip, and Todd. They alsohave 9 grandchildren,Christopher, Alexis,Spencer, Trenton, Leah,Arissa, Kirsten, Ariana,and Bryson. The couplecelebrated with a partygiven in their honor.
I’ve received severale-mails recently claim-ing to come from thepost office and FederalExpress telling me theywere unable to deliver apackage.
The e-mails look sus-picious and, upon check-ing, I’ve learned I’m oneof many people receiv-ing them.
Two such e-mailscame in August, alleged-ly from the UnitedStates Postal Service,asking me to downloadand print out a label,
then takeit at thenearestpost of-fice. For-tunately, Ididn’t dothat be-cause itcould havecaused bigproblems.
Federal Express hasa warning on its websitesaying scammers areusing its corporate logo,colors and legal dis-claimers to make themappear authentic. But
it says this is all just ascam to trick you intodivulging your personalor account information.Scammers could try toget you to send themmoney or do somethingelse that will result inyou getting defrauded.
FedEx says thesee-mail attacks have beengoing on for the past fewyears because they arelow-tech and can easilybe deployed on a mas-sive scale. These so-called “phishing” scamscontinue to fool people –and some contain avirus that will be un-leashed on your equip-ment if you downloadanything they send.That virus can be usedto steal personal in-formation from yourcomputer.
FedEx says themain thing the scam-mers want is to collectuser-names, pass-words, Social Securitynumbers, and creditcard details. ConsumerReports says one of
its staffers received oneof these e-mails lastyear which stated he’dhave to pay a fee if hefailed to act.
Like FedEx, the U.SPostal Service has awarning on its websiteabout e-mails claimingto be from the postalservice seeking onlinepostage charges or tell-ing of attempted or in-tercepted package deliv-eries. Postal officialssay you should deletethese messages withouttaking further action. Itsays, “The Postal In-spection Service isworking hard to resolvethe issue and shut downthe malicious program.”
Remember, neitherFedEx nor the post of-fice will send you ane-mail. If they need you,they’ll drop a note off atyour home or send you aletter. They have youraddress, but not youre-mail information.
