Votes split over hiring process By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The often unanimous Fiscal Court votes to hire for county positions were instead split twice by no votes from Campbell County Commissioner Ken Rechtin at the July 7 meeting over his concerns the search process for applicants was inadequate. By a 2-1 vote in favor, Campbell County Fiscal Court rehired Pat Dressman, who retired as the fulltime human services director March 30 to run her unsuccessful

Commissioner Dave Otto and Judge-executive Steve Pendery cast yes votes on both the hires. Commissioner Mark Hayden was absent from the meeting. Rechtin said his no votes were against the hiring process the county was using and were not meant to cast doubt on the qualifications of the people being hired. Rechtin said the county wasn’t

doing enough to advertise for and seek out the best applicants possible.“There is a 10 percent unemployment rate out there,” he said. “We should throw these out and see what’s available out there.” At the July 7 meeting Dressman’s new position, part-time human services manager at a maximum of 100 hours per month, was created.

Residents elect Wagner to fire board By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

In an election between five different candidates, property owners in the Alexandria Fire District sent E.J. Wagner of Gilbert Ridge Road to a spot on the district’s Board of Trustees. Wagner, a former volunteer firefighter for the district, was the winner of the election according to unofficial election results posted on the front door of the firehouse, said Sandy Decker, EMT and administrative assistant for the district. Wagner said he resigned from the department after serving about nine or 10 years as a volunteer because he wanted to build his family’s house. He ran for the fire board because he wanted to come back to help the fire district although he doesn’t have the time to be a full-time volunteer. Wagner said he was overwhelmed by the amount of support he received in his election to fire district trustee. “I always had a lot of respect for everybody up there,” he said. Wagner said how can anyone not respect a group of people dedicated to saving lives. “I really wanted to be there and help out in any way I can,” Wagner said.

Fire board members

The Alexandria Fire District’s Board of Trustees has seven members and meets at the firehouse, 7951 Alexandria Pike, at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday each month. Board positions include two representatives elected by fire department members to four year terms, two property owners in the district elected four year terms by other property owners, and three board members appointed to three year terms by the Campbell County Judge-executive. The following is a list of the board members and the year their term expires. • Steve Minshall, a fire department representative, with a term expiring in 2013. • Mike Berkemeyer, a fire department representative, with a term expiring in 2011. • Doug Neyman, a property owner representative, with a term expiring in 2012. • E.J. Wagner, elected according to uncertified results, as a property owner representative on a four-year term starting this year. • James Korpik, a Judge-executive appointment, with a term expiring in 2011. • Mic Cooney, a Judge-executive appointment, with a term expiring in 2012. • Doug Carmack, a Judge-executive appointment, was re-appointed this year and his term will expire in 2013. included incumbent Betty Rauch, and three other challengers: James F.

Wietholter, attorney for the Alexandria Fire District. The elected board member representing property owners was also scheduled to be sworn in at the meeting and the chairman and other officer positions elected for the year, Wietholter said.

ramifications beyond the Alexandria Fire District because incumbent fire district board member Betty Rauch lost her bid for reelection. If the certified results show that Rauch lost the election, she will have to give up her position on the Kentucky Fire Commission, Wietholter said. According to the Kentucky Fire Commission’s website, the governor appoints members to the 19member commission. Rauch is a member of the state fire commission by virtue of being an elected member of a local fire district’s board, Wietholter said.

Northern Kentucky appears to be closer to having a regional public smoking ban with only the Boone County Fiscal Court lacking the votes to pass an ordinance. That was the sentiment expressed at Tuesday’s State of Northern Kentucky Address program at Receptions in Erlanger where the judge-executives from Boone, Kenton, Campbell and Grant counties spoke about several issues. Boone County Judge-executive Gary Moore said he doesn’t believe at this point Boone County has the votes to pass an ordinance. “In talking with our commissioners and taking a look ... at the economic climate, I don’t think we’re there today,” he said. Kenton County Judge-executive Ralph Drees said there are three out of four Kenton County Fiscal Court members who will probably vote for a ban. Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery said three out of four Campbell County Fiscal Court members are in favor of a ban. Pendery said a number of states have enacted smoking regulations. “We’re not out there on the edge, the cutting edge here,” he said. “It’s more of a question of why haven’t you done this than it is what are you doing with this astonishing new approach to life.” Moore said a draft ordinance is “floating around.” After the program, he told reporters there is not a final ordinance to base a decision on yet. Moore said he can’t say who the holdout is in Boone County on the ordinance. He said all four Boone County Fiscal Court members have questions. He acknowledged that the other two counties appearing to have the votes adds pressure to Boone County to pass it. Moore said health departments in most other communities are the enforcing agency. He said that should be the case here if something passes. The Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department’s board does not have another meeting until September. The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce hosted the program with The Kentucky Enquirer and nky.com the title sponsor. Dennis Hetzel of The Enquirer and nky.com moderated.

Hiring From A1 tion. Dressman will be paid the same $34.93 hourly salary she earned before retiring. “She did retire from us,” Rechtin said. Maybe there’s an opportunity to give the position to another person, he said. Pendery said he’s glad to have Dressman back. “As a long time employer, when you find a good employee you try to keep them,” Pendery said. At a meeting April 7, in response to Dressman’s retirement, the county created a part-time $15.72 an hour position to handle some of her duties including reviewing and paying

monthly claims from social service agencies in an attempt to save money. That person will remain in place and continue with those duties, Horine said. That position will remain, and Dressman will work less than 100 hours a month on an “as-needed” basis when the county requests her services and she is available, Horine said. The director’s position being vacant was meant as a short-term money savings solution and it’s been three months, Horine said. The county’s leaders have had no one they could turn to when it came to big decisions on how to manage the human services division that includes the county’s senior center and distributing funds to more than 40 social service agencies,

News Managing Lakeside

Terrace The county had two qualified applicants for the manager position at Lakeside Terrace, which pays an hourly rate of $16.05, after advertising the position through the Internet, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. “This is a substantial position with substantial pay,” said Commissioner Ken Rechtin, who voted against hiring for the position. “To only have two applicants for this position is unacceptable. I think we should go out and look again.” The position was not advertised in newspapers because it was deemed the cost was too expensive, Horine said. LaToya Malone, the person hired, has already worked at Lakeside Terrace for 22 months as a worker from a temporary agency, he said. Even if more people were interviewed it’s doubtful a more qualified person could be found, Horine said. Otto said in his business experience a person who has already shown has a good work ethic and is reliable is a better guarantee than hiring someone who might just “look good on paper.” Besides being well liked by the residents, Malone can handle light maintenance needs at Lakeside Terrace including HVAC problems and buffing of the floors, Otto said. Horine said. Otto said Dressman’s institutional knowledge was missed and sets her apart from any other potential job candidates because it would take money spent on job training to bring someone else up to speed. “We could get six applicants in, and they would be equal except for the knowl-

edge,” Otto said. Pendery said he didn’t know if there was anyone as well qualified as Dressman to make decisions on how and where to expend the county’s senior and mental health tax funds. “I guess we won’t ever know either,” Rechtin said in response to Pendery’s statement.

County plans change for senior housing By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Campbell County will continue operation of its Lakeside Terrace seniors home in Highland Heights, but is preparing changes that will make it easier for some residents to move if they wish. The future of Lakeside Terrace has been the subject of rumors ever since a neighboring nursing home not owned by the county was sold and converted into dorms for college students in 2008, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. “The county does not have any plans at this time with Lakeside Terrace to do anything except what we’ve been doing,” Horine said. In 2009 the county paid off the 40-year mortgage on the 95-housing unit building, and a transition is being planned for the government housing voucher program used by residents that was tied to the mortgage, he said. The county has notified the residents of the center in recent months that in June 2011 the Fiscal Court may not renew a special Section 8 low-income housing voucher contract that some residents use, and they will receive a different type of voucher. “They will be given a housing choice voucher that is no longer site-based and can move someplace else of their choosing,” Horine said. Currently, 37 of the 60 residents of Lakeside Terrace have Section 8 vouchers that can only be used to pay rent at the county-run home in Highland Heights, he said. To move to another seniors home, even in Newport, those 37 residents have to apply for a different type of section 8 voucher. “They have to get on a waiting list and wait to see if they can get a housing voucher,” Horine said. The county will monitor occupancy rates to watch if they decline because people receive new vouchers and move out of Lakeside Terrace, he said. “If folks have that voucher in their hands and those folks chose to go elsewhere that would certainly send a strong message to the owner/operator of the facility that something is going on here, and you

need to address it,” Horine said. When Lakeside Terrace was opened by the county in 1970 it was the only group home for seniors in the county and now they have other choices, he said. Since the closing of the adjacent Lakeside Heights Nursing Home to make way for college dorms, occupancy at Lakeside Terrace has dropped to 60 units out of 95, Horine said. There was a symbiotic relationship with Lakeside Heights because often a husband or wife would take up residence in Lakeside Terrace to live nearby their spouse who was in the nursing home, Horine said. Rumors about the fate of the building, which needs extensive rehab work in areas including plumbing, haven’t helped occupancy rates either, he said. The county offers reasonable rates that include utilities if anyone age 62 or older is interested moving in, Horine said. In addition to meeting with residents of Lakeside Terrace to explain the upcoming changes, the county has offered to change its contract with tenants requiring the county to give at least 120 days notice and not 30 day before a resident’s lease can be terminated, he said. “These are elderly people, and as you might expect they’re very concerned about ‘Where am I going to live today, and where am I going to live tomorrow,’” Horine said. Commissioner Dave Otto used the situation at Lakeside Terrace to help justify the hiring of LaToya Malone as the full-time manager at the July 7 Campbell County Fiscal Court meeting. Malone has been working at Lakeside Terrace as a temporary worker for the past 22 months. In Malone’s new job, she’ll also take over many of the routine duties formerly handled by a maintenance director who retired in recent months. Based on a survey of the residents, hiring Malone was the right decision to make because the residents already were comfortable with her, Otto said. “Unfortunately, there are questions in the minds of residents of ‘Is the county going to continue on running this facility,’” Otto said.

Animal shelter plans kennel expansion By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The Campbell County Animal Shelter is planning a kennel expansion, and how much state grant money the county receives will determine how big the expansion is when paired with a private donations fund. Fiscal Court endorsed the shelter’s application for $250,000 in state grant money for the construction of a new kennel area at the July 7 meeting. The shelter was established in 1986 and accepted almost 2,900 animals in the 2008-09’ fiscal year. “The county is required by state law to have a shelter and care for animals,” said Campbell County Commissioner Ken Rechtin. About $50,000 in donations from private individuals and groups will pay for the 20 percent required match for the grant, said Lisa Bowman, director of the shelter.

CHRIS MAYHEW/STAFF

The Campbell County Animal Shelter in Camp Springs is planning to renovate the existing kennel area after adding a planned second kennel area to quarantine sick and potentially vicious and aggressive animals. There is a pool of about $3 million in state grants that all county shelter’s are eligible to apply for, Bowman said. “I hope we get it, keep your fingers crossed,” she said. “I hope we get some of it at least.” The shelter plans to

move forward with an expansion in the next year either way, she said. How big the addition is will depend on how much grant money the county receives, she said. If the shelter receives the full $250,000 grant the addition will include 20 new

ily between the animals, she said. “It’s for the safety of the public and for us,” she said. More kennel space will also help the county reduce the number of animals that end up being euthanized, Bowman said. For example, in February, the shelter took in nine dogs, four cats and a ferret that were confiscated in an animal cruelty case, she said. “They all had to be held until the court case was settled,” Bowman said. “That leaves less room to hold other animals coming in and we have to euthanize more.” Animal rescues and direct adoptions have helped the shelter reduce the rates of euthanized animals in recent years to about 20 percent, she said. “Our euthanasia rate would have been so much higher if it wouldn’t have been for the rescue groups,” she said.

Results of the 2010 Point-in-Time Count of the Homeless were released June 30. The annual count, conducted Jan. 28 by the Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness, shows Kenton County had the most homeless people in the Northern Kentucky region, with little evidence of homelessness in the more rural counties of Grant and Gallatin. Kenton County had 406 individuals defined as homeless. Boone County had 116, Campbell County had 122, Grant County had one and Gallatin County had zero. Pendleton County did not participate. The count defined the homeless in various categories, including those in emergency shelters and motels, transitional housing and unsheltered. Kenton County had 187 in the emergency category, 124 in transitional and 95 unsheltered. Boone County had four emergency, 101 transitional and 11 unsheltered. Campbell County had 44 emergency, 43 transitional and 35 unsheltered. There were 6,623 home-

less people identified throughout the state. The 2009 count found 5,999 homeless individuals, but organizers believe a winter storm at the time of that count altered the results. Jefferson and Fayette counties, homes of Louisville and Lexington, respectively, were the top two counties in homeless totals. Jefferson had 1,626 homeless, while Fayette had 1,551. Statewide results also showed: • 1,460 homeless respondents were severely mentally ill. • 2,032 homeless respondents were chronic substance abusers. • 1,071 homeless respondents were victims of domestic violence. • 564 homeless respondents were veterans. • 15 percent of homeless individuals were completely without shelter across the state on the day of the count. The count is a coordinated effort of Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), the Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Coalition for the Homeless in Louisville, and Central Kentucky Homeless and Hous-

ing Coalition in Lexington. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires a count every other year. Kentucky, one of the few states to coordinate a statewide count, conducts a count every year on the last Thursday in January in an effort to achieve more current accuracy. “The count is a massive effort that asks local and state agencies, service providers, and volunteers to come together in the middle of winter to interview individuals, not just in a shelter or inside the office of a service agency, but outside in the elements,” said KHC CEO Richard L. McQuady in a press release. “We appreciate the time and efforts of everyone who came out to participate in this very important event. These results are an important piece of planning the state’s efforts to assist homeless individuals and families.” The 2010 Point-In-Time Count Report is available at www.kyhomeless.org and www.kyhousing.org, under Specialized Housing, PointIn-Time Count.

St. Elizabeth opening diabetes center The St. Elizabeth Regional Diabetes Center will open July 22. St. Elizabeth Healthcare says it will be the region’s largest and most comprehensive diabetes treatment center and the only one of its kind in the Greater Cincinnati region. There are 23.6 million children and adults in the U.S. who have diabetes, nearly 8 percent of the population, according to the American Diabetes Association. The center, part of St. Elizabeth Healthcare’s $29.2 million Covington building that opened last summer, will employ six board-certified endocrinologists, along with 14 diabetes educators and healthcare professionals skilled in diabetes care. “It’s not only the largest such practice here in Greater Cincinnati, but it’s one of

the largest east of the Mississippi,” said Dr. Linda Hermiller, endocrinologist and medical director of the new center. “This allows our patients to receive appointments quickly and then to get comprehensive and complete care from their very first visit on through all their follow-ups.” The new center will use about 18,000 square feet of the 118,000-square-foot building. It will feature exam and treatment rooms, state-of-the-art equipment, a health-care library and conference rooms for education classes. Patients referred to the center can also take advantage of other services in the building, including lab and diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, the Women’s Wellness Center and the Wound Care Center. The diabetes center’s

endocrinologists will be able to offer support for a range of endocrine and metabolic disorders, including: abnormal weight-gain evaluation and therapy; adrenal disease; hypogonadism; lipid metabolism; osteoporosis, metabolic bone disease and calcium disorders; pituitary disease; polycystic ovarian syndrome; and thyroid disease, including ultrasoundguided biopsies and thyroid cancer. Diabetes patients are currently treated in a building on Thomas More Parkway, but oftentimes have to go to other buildings for extensive care. “Now all of those folks will be able to go to one site,” said Guy Karrick, public relations manager for St. Elizabeth.

Musical a twist on classic fairy tales By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

The Fort Thomas Community Children’s Theatre is taking a unique look at some well-known fairy tales in their upcoming production of the musical “Into the Woods.” Inspired by the 1976 book “The Uses of Enchantment,” the show intertwines the plot of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales like “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Cinderella” to shows what happens after the happily ever after ending. “I like to choose shows that the

kids will learn something from, but that are also fun,” said Director Caroline Stine. “This show has some really hard music, which is a challenge for me and the kids.” Stine said while she had to cut out some of the show’s really dark material, it still shows the fairy tales more like the original Grimms versions instead of the Disney versions. “This is really going to be a great show,” said stage manager Rachael Hawkins. “We have some really talented kids that are doing a great job.” Hawkins and Stine, along with many of the children in the production, have been working together since the mid-90s through the theatrical group, The Cliffview Players. Two of the shows lead roles, the baker’s wife and the witch, are

Hicks, who is a senior at Highlands High School, said she decided to try out for the musical because of the work she’s done with the group in the past. “Being part of these productions every summer is like a tradition,” Hicks said. “A lot of know each other and are friends.” Metzner, a recent Highlands graduate, said even though the first couple weeks of rehearsal are always rough, she thinks it is going to be a good show. The show opens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5 at the Performing Arts Center. Other showings are at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 6; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Summer science is no sweat in Bellevue By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

A Bellevue Independent School summer camp helped students see the fun in learning science. Through a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club, the district offered the week-long camp Monday, July 5 through Friday, July 9 for students in kindergarten to 12th grade. “We touched on all kinds of

science topics throughout the week,” said science teacher Hallie Booth. “My goal is to get the students interested in science and help them realize that it can really be fun.” With the help of “Dr. Discovery” Debbie Williams from Mad Science, Booth covered topics ranging from compounds and mixtures and energy to polymers and air pressure. Booth said the students spent

the week seeing demonstrations and participating in hands-on activities. “Kids love the ‘ew factor’ so the more gross something is, the more they like doing it,” Booth said. Booth said while the camp had a good turnout, she hopes more students will come in the future. “It’s amazing to see these students coming in during their summer break to learn science,” Booth said. “To me, that’s exciting.” Rob Sanders, director of the district’s Family Resource Center, said the science camp, along with other camps throughout the summer, are offered to the students for free thanks to grant money and help from the Boys and Girls Club.

Study: Education ranking improves CHRIS MAYHEW/STAFF

The academic performance of Kentucky students has improved the state’s national educational ranking, reflecting the strong returns the state receives from its investments in education, according to two recent reports from the Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research Center. “This is most important and encouraging news on Kentucky’s education results that we’ve seen in a long time. It’s solid proof that our investments in reforms are paying off,” noted Robert F. Sexton, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. The committee wanted to showcase the reports because of the message they hold for both policymakers and taxpayers, Sexton added. Following are highlights from the two reports. “The Increasing Returns on Kentucky’s Educational Investments,” available online at http://kltprc.net, concludes that Kentucky performs much better than expected in the face of such barriers to cost-effective

education spending as family poverty, parental education, students’ health status, disability rates and missed school days. Kentucky students’ scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) give the state a second place national ranking in what the center calls NAEP Proficiency Purchasing Power. The state ranks fourth in the nation on the center’s Index of Obstacles that make it hard for students to do well in school. Kentucky students’ scores have improved steadily since 1998 on NAEP, which is sometimes called the nation’s report card. “Not surprisingly, states with fewer obstacles tend to have higher NAEP Proficiency Purchasing Power,” the report stated. “Moderating the harmful effects of poverty on learning, as well as cultivating better health habits among children, will help reduce these obstacles and facilitate even higher returns from future educational spending.” In the second study,

available at http://kltprc.net, the research center reported that Kentucky ranks 32nd nationally on its Education Index of several indicators – a marked improvement from its 43rd-place ranking in 1992. The indicators included in the index measure educational attainment and achievement, dropout rates and ACT and NAEP scores. “The index shows that Kentucky has made educational improvements over the years and gained ground on other states,” the study noted. “Only two states that were in the bottom ten in 1992 had managed to climb out of that group by 2009 – Kentucky and North Carolina.” “We should be proud to have pulled our schools up from the bottom – and to be comparable to North Carolina, a state highly praised for its reforms.” Sexton said. “Compared to the nation, we’ve moved into the middle group, similar to states like Michigan and Oregon. Now we want Kentucky to push for the Top 20 – we believe Kentucky students can do it.”

Shooting team snares state medals By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Northern Kentucky Scholastic Trap Shooting Program had several firstplace winners recently at the annual state shoot in Berea, Ky. Thirty-five local competitors participated in the tourney, which is part of the National Scholastic Trap Shooting Program for college students and younger. The team, which practices at outdoor clubs in Alexandria and Kenton, has students from all over Northern Kentucky. “A lot of the kids have no interest in other sports, so it is a good outlet for them to compete in a team type sport,” said head coach Dennis Menning of Alexandria.

Many kids join the program as soon they’re big enough to handle the guns. “You must have good hand-eye coordination to become a good shot.

Freedom all-stars ready for second half By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Tim Grogan would love nothing more than to end his baseball playing career with a championship. While his Florence Freedom professional team faces an uphill climb in the second half of the 2010 season, he is hopeful the team can turn it around. “We have to figure out how to win the close games, but we’re right in there,” he said. Grogan was one of three Freedom players selected to play in the Frontier League All-Star Game July 14 in Marion, Ill. Shortstop Stephen Shults and relief pitcher Liam Ohlmann also were set to go. Grogan, a Florence native and Covington Catholic graduate, is second on the team in home runs and RBI, and leads in runs scored. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “It should be

fun there because they always draw well there. They should do it right up there.” Grogan is a veteran of the Freedom, who enter the

halfway point with a 19-29 record. They are 20 games behind West Division leader Southern Illinois, who have a sizzling 39-9 record despite losing its last three games. Florence is eight games behind second-place River City (27-21) for the division’s wild-card berth into the playoffs. Grogan, 26, is preparing to end his playing career after this season and join the Freedom front office as director of amateur baseball. “I haven’t been healthy for four years,” he said. “Hopefully I can make it through 96 games and we can make a run at this.” Shults, a 23-year old from Lawrenceburg, Tenn., is leading the entire league in home runs (13) and batting average (.371) at the halfway point. He leads the Freedom in RBI with 37. Shults came to the team in a June 7 trade less than two weeks into the season. He was college teammates with Freedom players Justin

Pickett and Michael Wheeler at the University of the Cumberlands. He had spent three years in the Atlanta Braves organization battling injuries. His 13 homers this year is one less than he had in three years there. “I love the team,” he said. “We’ve got great team chemistry. It’s a great group of guys. We’re having trouble pulling out the close games right now. We have a good team, we just have to get everything clicking.” Ohlmann, a 23-year old from Wallingford, Conn., has been unhittable in relief, giving up just nine hits in 25 innings. He has a 2.13 ERA. When they return to regular play, the Freedom will have six games on the road before returning home Thursday, July 22, against Evansville. They need a quick start to get back into playoff contention. Grogan, a member of Cov Cath’s 2002 state title

Brossart senior second baseman Steve Popovich has accepted an offer to play college baseball at Spalding University. Spalding is a NCAA Division III Catholic university in downtown Louisville. Even though there was much interest and several offers from other colleges, he believed Spalding was the best fit. He cited strong academics, successful coach, approachable and friendly staff, small school advantages just blocks away from University of Louisville, only being 1 1 ⁄2 hours from home and a private dorm room to be some of his considerations.

Motorists asked to ‘share the road’ with motorcycles

Motorists asked to ‘share the road’ with motorcycles The Kentucky Office of Highway (KOHS) joined other federal, state and local highway safety, law enforcement and motorcycle organizations to proclaim May “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.” Motorcycle fatalities nationwide have increased during the past decade. Motorcycle fatalities rose 2.2 percent nationwide in 2008 to 5,290, up from 5,174 in 2007. Officials hope the added safety emphasis in May helps remind motorists to share the road with motorcycles. Motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists. “As the weather improves, more and more motorcyclists are hitting the roads,” said KOHS Executive Director Chuck Geveden. “And with that in mind, pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers of all vehicles, including SUVs, passenger cars or trucks, need to be extra attentive and make sure you ‘share the road.’ A motorcycle is one of the smallest vehicles on our roads, often hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot. Everyone needs to aggressively look for them.” Motorists and bicyclists should always make visual checks for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections. Pedestrians should also scan for motorcyclists who might be hidden by other traffic. “Motorcyclists have responsibilities, too,” said KOHS Director of Highway Safety Programs Boyd Sigler. “They should follow the rules of the road, be alert to other drivers, never ride while impaired or distracted, and always wear a Department of Transportationcompliant helmet and other protective gear.” Sigler said motorcyclists are much more vulnerable in crashes than passenger vehicle occupants. According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely to be killed in traffic crashes.

Geveden offered several tips for drivers: • Allow motorcycles a full lane. Motorcycles have all of the rights and privileges of any motor vehicle on the road. • Visually check for motorcycles in mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections. • Signal when turning, merging or changing lanes. • Be cautious of motorcycle turn signals – they can be misleading. Motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before you proceed. • Leave plenty of space when following motorcycles to give them enough time to maneuver or stop in an emer-gency. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars. Motorcyclists should consider these safety tips: • Avoid riding in poor weather conditions. • Wear brightly colored protective gear and a DOT-compliant helmet. • Use reflective tape and stickers to increase visibility. • Use turn signals for every turn or lane change, even if it appears no one else is around. • Combine hand signals and turn signals to draw more attention. • Keep a visible position in the lane of travel. • Never drive impaired. “Our message to all drivers and motorcyclists is simple. Share the responsibility and do your part in decreasing fatalities by safely sharing the road,” Sigler said. For more information visit http://highwaysafety.ky.gov and www.nhtsa.dot.gov.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question:

Do you think weather warning sirens are effective? Why or why not? What changes would you make to the warning system? “I live in an area that has an effective system, for which I am extremely grateful. When I hear the siren I turn on the TV for updates and plan accordingly. “Some people complain that they hear sirens too frequently for storms that are not life-threatening. I prefer to err on safety’s side. S.J.P. “I do not believe they are very effective. I live relatively close to the siren near Wilson School and can hear it clearly when I am outdoors. Inside is a different story. I am consistently surprised at how well my house dampens the sound. The same is true in a car. Even if I hear the siren, it does not tell me anything about the threat or where it is located. “I usually respond to the signs of threatening weather by checking my TV or the Internet. “I think the system of sirens is outmoded and a waste of money. In this day and age, you could send a text message to all the cell

phone towers in the threat area and reach a lot more people with more accurate information. The siren system is a truly blunt instrument.” F.S.D. “The systems are pretty good, but they need a dose of human common sense also. “The warning for the wind storm of 2008 was pretty poor. Damage was occurring south and west of us in Louisville and Lexington, yet, even though this storm was heading our way we got little warning of its severity. “It seems pretty obvious to me that simple weather observation should have alerted NOAA and private forecasters of the danger. Granted, to have near hurricaneforce winds in this area is very unusual, but it seems to me that many folks were ‘asleep at the switch.’ I know of a young boy who was severely injured by a falling tree. He still suffers from his injuries. It did not have to happen.” T.H. “Are weather warning sirens effective? Probably yes. “They certainly give more people a better chance of getting to

Next question

shelter than they would have without them (as do the warnings on radio and TV). However, they don’t do much to minimize the property damage that results from the severe weather. “Life is a crap shoot in some respects; we’ll never be totally safe, and even if we could be we would still have to be prepared to check out of this life at some point. (Insurance ads used to try to avoid using the term ‘death,’ and instead used quotation marks around some euphemism. So my wife and I use the term “quote quote” when we discuss this subject, to add a little humor.)” Bill B. “Weather sirens have a limited effect. I often strain to hear them. Not very loud in a lot of places. “How to improve would be more such sirens. Used only when there is imminent danger. “More use of TV broadcasting with louder noises coming from the sets. Mandated that every broadcaster use that method including FM and AM radio. Interrupt the program and cease the broadcast of the program.” J.S.D.

“Yes I do. The sirens are supposed to warn you in the event of a probable tornado, and they do sound when there is a tornado watch along with a severe thunderstorm warning. But many say this is ‘cry wolf.’ “Tornados happen very quickly if the conditions are right so when the sirens sound I often look at the sky and turn on the weather service to see the latest.” O.H.R. “NO! We need to go back to the good ol'days when you heard a siren it meant run to the basement. Now days I tend to ignore them because I do not know what they mean. Do we really need a siren for a severe thunderstorm? Or the constant interruption of our TV shows to pinpoint what street it is on. Come on really…it’s just a thunderstorm. I know they can do damage too but I have managed to survive without the warnings for 30 something years! Please weather people, just warn me when I am in imminent danger. Thank you and great question!” K.S.D. “Yes, I think they can be effective in saving lives. However, I

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

Summer splash

AMANDA JOERING ALLEY/STAFF

Brothers Jacob and Seth Ryan of Fort Thomas pose for a picture at the Fort Thomas Swim Club.

Fort Thomas brothers are more like best friends When neighbors see 9year-old Jacob Ryan playing near his Wilbers Lane home, they can expect that his little brother Seth, 5, isn’t far behind. The Fort Thomas brothers, who spend a lot of time on hot days at the Fort Thomas Swim Club, said they play together a lot. “Seth is not like other kids that completely terrorize their brothers,” said Jacob. “We get along and like to play games together.” From swimming to playing in their yard, the boys are often found playing out-

side together, Jacob said. “I like my brother because he plays basketball and stuff with me,” Seth said. One of the brothers’ favorite memories together is a recent trip to Cumberland Lake, where they got to ride on a pontoon boat. Once summer break is finished, Seth will be starting kindergarten at Moyer Elementary, where Jacob attends. The boys said they’ll most likely stay close growing up. “Hopefully we’ll be friends forever,” Jacob said.

Some factors involved in becoming mature

Consider, “If you find that your challenges balloon out when you think they should be diminishing; if you feel too tired to get up again but realize that life never lets you down very long; if life is even less fair than they warned you it would be; well, you are probably quite healthy and normal.” So writes psychologist Dr. Eugene Kennedy. What he’s expressing are some of the elements involved in becoming mature. When we’re young we think that becoming mature means that troubles level off and we’re more in control of life. The truth is that the difference between an adolescent and a mature adult is not that the adult has fewer problems. Rather, it’s because the

adult – if he or she is actually becoming m o r e mature – becomes m o r e ccomFather Lou aplished in Guntzelman coping. Coping Perspectives means figuring out healthy ways of dealing with the problems of life rather than seeking escapes from them. Mature adults come to realize, at least in some subtle way, that how we handle our problems and pressures is what brings about maturation. It may sound paradoxical, but Carl Jung said, “Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.”

The Aztecs had a saying: “A boy remains a boy until there is need of a man.” The same for all of us. The vexation and pain of our own problems powerfully show us the need for a mature man or woman to be standing in our shoes. If we’re courageous, we rise to the occasion. If we’re wimpy we opt out with some excuse, get high, or get lost in the world of technology. The contradictions, pressures and inconsistencies of life are the midwives that give birth to many precious human qualities. Jung also noted, “The serious problems of life are never solved, and if they seem to have been solved, something humanly important has been lost.” Another important factor in becoming mature is

learning how to balance. To be mature is not a matter of getting 100 on some kind of Life Test. It is rather a balancing of the demands of life so that A equals B equals C. These alphabet letters, of course, represent various ingredients of a healthy life which have to be integrated in a reasonably harmonious balance. What are the ingredients that need balancing? Aspects such as self and others, gratification and discipline, bodily needs and spiritual needs, intellect and emotions, action and reflection, self-assertion and respect for others and the demands of relationships.

The over-riding goal is to become more human. Do the young have a more rugged road? Is it more difficult for most people to mature today? Author Joseph Gallagher thinks so. He writes; “The pressure problem of many people today is the problem of toomuch-ness… Too much noise, too much news, too many distractions, too many meetings, too many memos, too many social obligations, too many expectations, etc.” These make it more difficult to cope in a healthy way. Some of us opt out of maturing by adopting the

Zucchini: The other green summertime vegetable Last week it was all about pickling cucumbers. This week the requests are pouring in for zucchini bread recipes. T h e ones Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing today are in my â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recipe Hall of Fame.â&#x20AC;? These are Rita the most Heikenfeld requested, especially Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen this time of year. The zucchini, like everything else in my garden, is a couple weeks early and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already picking every day. With county fairs coming up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had lots of requests for zucchini bread recipes that, as one reader said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will win me that elusive ribbon.â&#x20AC;? One of the recipes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing today did just that: It won a blue ribbon for Susan Zugohoer, a Northern Kentucky reader. She shared her recipe several years ago and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a popular one. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for a testimonial?

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Check after 20 minutes.

Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blue ribbon zucchini bread

3 cups finely grated zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring) 3 cups sugar 11â &#x201E;2 cups vegetable oil 4 eggs 3 cups flour 11â &#x201E;2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped nuts Grease and flour 9-by-13 pan or 3 loaf pans. Mix zucchini, sugar, oil and eggs. Beat two minutes. Combine dry ingredients. Add to mixture and blend well. Add nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour or until done. If desired, frost with cream cheese icing.

Chocolate zucchini bread/cake

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cross between a bread and a cake, so either name is appropriate. This has become a favorite of everyone who has made it.

Butterscotch zucchini bread

LISA J. MAUCH/STAFF

My editor Lisa Mauchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the recipe for chocolate zucchini bread/cake. 11â &#x201E;2 cups shredded zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring) 1 cup flour 1 â &#x201E;2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon baking powder 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon allspice 1 â &#x201E;2 cup canola oil 1 â &#x201E;2 cup sugar 1 â &#x201E;2 cup light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 â &#x201E;4 to 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini chips are nice)

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9-by-5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended, and fold in zucchini. Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chips. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling. Variation: These also are good made as muffins/cupcakes.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it out of the oven too soon. I baked one pan for 50 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it looked great coming out of the oven, but it sunk in the middle when it cooled, a sure indication of underbaking. 3 eggs 1 cup oil 2 teaspoons vanilla (I used 1 tablespoon) 2 cups sugar 2 cups grated zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring) 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 or 2 teaspoons cinnamon (I used 2) 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon ginger 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 â &#x201E;2 cup rolled oats 1 package (3.4-ounce size) instant butterscotch

pudding mix 1 cup nuts, raisins or other dried fruit Beat eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar together well. Add zucchini. Then mix the flour and the rest of the dry ingredients together and then add to the egg mixture, blending well. Pour into two greased, floured, wax paper lined pans. Bake one hour at 350 degrees or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Lemon frosting

Mix and spread on bread after it cools. 2 cups confectionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sugar, sifted 2 tablespoons lemon juice 4 tablespoons butter, softened Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

Mow, water your way to a happier summer lawn The summer season can be a very trying time for homeowners and their lawns. So, here are a few general tips to help keep your lawn looking its best this summer. 1) Keep mowing on a regular basis. Never remove more than 1/3 of the height of the grass blades each time you mow. 2) Mow at a higher mowing height. Keep your mowing height at least 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches. Longer grass blades mean less

stress on the turf, the crowns are shaded and protected from the heat of the grass Ron Wilson sun, roots should In the grow deeper, garden and your turf will do much nicer during the summer than the lawns mowed close and stressed. 3) Change your mowing pattern each time you mow.

Mow east to west one week, then north to south the next. Then take it diagonally. Just like the golf course pros do! This encourages your grass to grow upright, rather than laying down (being mowed one direction all the time) and definitely creates a happier lawn! 4) Throw those clippings back into the turf. Returning those clippings is like one additional fertilizing each year. Grass clippings are 75 to 85 percent water, decompose quickly, and do not

create thatch problems. 5) Have those mowers blades sharpened on a regular basis, which means at least three to four times throughout the mowing season. Dull blades shred rather than cut, which will give your lawn a yellowed look, and will make the grass more susceptible to disease. 6) Be sure to clean out under the mower deck when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finished mowing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remove that grass build up, espe-

cially if you have an under the deck exhaust. It also helps the mower deck to operate properly. So keep under the deck cleaned. 7) If your lawn doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough rainfall, water as needed. Remember the golden rule of 1 inch of rainfall every 10 days or so for optimum growing. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it naturally, you have to supplement. And when you do supplement, do it all at one time; a deep, thorough watering. Deep watering

creates a deeper rooted lawn, which makes it much sturdier during possible drought situations, as well as being a much healthier lawn. Please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a water tease. One thorough watering is much better for the lawn and all plants, than frequent water â&#x20AC;&#x153;teasing.â&#x20AC;? Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inc.

The Salvation Army announced that it has decentralized its local social services staff to get social workers closer to those seeking help. With this change, effective July 6, The Salvation Army now offers social services support at each of its six area community centers. Social Services workers are instrumental in the process of providing emergency assistance and counseling to those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to make this change to better meet the needs of our clients,â&#x20AC;? said Capt. Faith Miller, Divisional Program Secretary at The Salvation Army with oversight responsibility for social services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our clients, particularly in Cincinnati, have generally commuted to our downtown Cincinnati Family Service Bureau for

assistance. Now, those in outlying neighborhoods can seek assistance closer to home.â&#x20AC;? With this change, social workers are now available daily at each of the six area Salvation Army Community Centers, including the Family Service Bureau downtown. At the facilities downtown, as well as those in Price Hill, Finneytown, Covington and Newport, social workers are available to meet with clients daily, Monday-Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. At the Batavia facility, a social worker is available daily, Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit the website at www.salvationarmycincinnati.org, and click on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Locationsâ&#x20AC;? tab to find a local community center.

IN THE SERVICE Huff completes training

Navy Seaman Recruit Cody L. Huff recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Jenkins completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and

shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical

application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Huff is the son of Marcy L. and David J. Huff of Alexandria. Huff is a 2008 graduate of Campbell County High School.

Durr Foundation aids housing group In full swing of its 35th anniversary year, People Working Cooperatively announced it has secured more than $100,000 in grant funds to carry out its mission to repair the community one home at a time, specifically in Northern Kentucky. PWC received three separate grants: two from The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) and one from The R.C. Durr Foundation Inc. to provide its services in Northern Kentucky. PWC received a grant of $50,000 from the Weathering the Economic Storm Fund, a partnership of funders, managed by The Greater Cincinnati Foundation. In addition, PWC received a grant of $60,000 from the Northern Kentucky Family of Funds at The Greater Cincinnati Foundation and $15,000 from The R.C. Durr Foundation Inc. “We’ve seen a great increase in the need for our services, especially in the Northern Kentucky region” said Jock Pitts, president of PWC. “By receiving grants like this, foundations are acknowledging the need exists and PWC is the organization to provide the services. We are extremely pleased to be selected to address this need.” The grant from the Northern Kentucky Family of Funds at The Greater Cincinnati

Foundation will allow PWC to provide home repairs and modifications in Northern Kentucky while the grant from the Weathering the Economic Storm Fund will be used to provide assistance with emergency home repairs and energy conservation for low income homes in both Northern Kentucky and Ohio. The grant was awarded as part of the “Weathering the Economic Storm” initiative created by GCF, a community-wide response to help individuals, families and nonprofit organizations move toward economic stability. In addition to the GCF grants, People Working Cooperatively was awarded $15,000 for home modifications in Northern Kentucky by The R.C. Durr Foundation, Inc. The foundation is dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of its benefactor, R.C. Durr of Boone County, by providing philanthropic support to improve the quality of life of the larger Northern Kentucky region. “We are extremely proud to receive the grants,” said Chris Owens, director of development at PWC. “It’s validating that the community recognizes the good work that PWC has been committed to for the past 35 years, and we’re eager to continue that work.”
