‘The Jazz Bird’

The Campbell County Public Library helped uncork an annual reading initiative with a Prohibition-era style party Friday, Sept. 11 centered around a book set in the 1920s. It was the first, but not the last event in public libraries in Campbell, Boone and Kenton counties promoting the 2009 Northern Kentucky One Book One Community reading selection of “The Jazz Bird” by Craig Holden.

A word from the president

The majority of Campbell County Schools viewed a recording of President Barack Obama’s message about the personal responsibility of getting the most out of their education on Thursday, Sept. 10, two days after the speech was broadcast live. “I thought that it was really good because it kind of told us that he cared about our education and our futures,” said Jennifer Rawe, a seventhgrade student. Some parents opted to keep their children from hearing the speech because of political concerns, but the remainder of the district’s students watched the president. SCHOOLS, A6

Finding flu strain shots By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

While people are calling their doctors to get on waiting lists for the first batches of swine flu vaccination expected in by October or November, the seasonal flu shot remains important. People interested in obtaining a seasonal flu shot should definitely contact their primary care doctor or pediatrician first, and take advantage of any employer vaccination programs, said Emily Gresham Wherle, public information manager for the Northern Kentucky Independent Health District. “It’s not going to protect you from the swine flu strain, but it would be possible to have a strain of the seasonal flu and swine flu at the same time, and you could get one right after another,” Gresham Wherle said. More than 114,000 people are hospitalized every year because of the seasonal flu, and 36,000 people die because of it across the United States, she said. The seasonal flu is usually at its highest in the area in February or midMarch, she said. Seniors, people with underlying health conditions, young children, and the people who care for them are at increased risk of catching the seasonal flu. Children under ages 6 months old

cannot get the shot, so it’s important for caregivers to get the shot, she said. “We don’t anticipate there being anything with limited supply at this point,” said Gresham Wherle of the seasonal flu shot. “A lot of retail providers are trying to get it out early.” Most pharmacies and grocery stores with a pharmacy provide seasonal flu shot services, she said. A helpful tool for finding a retailer selling the shots is the Web site www.931SHOT.org, Gresham Wherle said. Also, local health clinics will begin taking appointments in October for people seeking the seasonal flu shot. The phone number for Campbell County’s health clinic at 12 E. 5th St., Newport, is 431-1074. The health department will be providing seasonal flu shots including a health clinic in each county this fall. Campbell County’s season flu shot health clinic will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15 at First Baptist Church of Cold Spring, 4410 Alexandria Pike. The health department’s cost for a flu shot last year was $25, and it should stay about the same this year, Gresham Wherle said. And receipts will be provided for people to provide to their insur-

ance company or Medicare or Medicaid for potential reimbursement, she said. For the swine flu vaccinations, people have already started requesting to get on doctors waiting lists for the vaccinations if their doctor is already keeping a list, she said. Some people may be asked to call back later to get on a waiting list when calling their doctor, Gresham Wherle said. The first priority group will be for the younger age groups. “Swine flu is mostly hitting young people ages 5 to 24,” she said. “There haven’t been any outbreaks in senior citizens.” People with underlying health conditions including asthma and diabetes are also at an increased risk for swine flu. After the first round of initial vaccinations are shipped, it’s expected there will be weekly dose shipments, she said. After people at increased risk receive the vaccinations, the hope is to expand the priority groups eligible for the swine flu shot, Gresham Wherle said. The state decides what the priority groups. But most importantly, the swine flu vaccine is going to be free, although providers can charge for the cost of administering the shot, she said.

Newport on the Levee is again hosting the annual Taste of the Levee fall festival this October. This is the third year for the event, which is meant to offer patrons a sample of various Levee tenants’ menu items. “The visitors and tenants alike indicated the event was very enjoyable and successfully met their expectations, therefore, we decided to repeat it,” said Ellen Prows, general manager of the Levee. Donny Stenke, manager at Habanero Mexican Fare at the Levee, which opened in April 2008, said the employees and patrons had fun during last year’s event, so they decided to participate again this year. “This is a big event in Newport, and it gave us a lot of publicity,” Stenke said. “Since we had just opened a few months before the event, it really helped us get our name out there.” Other restaurants participating in the event include BRIO Tuscan Grille, Claddagh Irish Pub, Cold Stone Creamery, Dewey’s Pizza, Funny Bone Comedy Club, Jax Grill at Gameworks, Jefferson Hall, Mitchell’s Fish Market and Pit Stop on the Levee. The event also features live entertainment and music by Eric Matthew Tepe, M42 and Ten Foot Big. Beer sales at the event are going to benefit LEGACY, a leadership group for young professionals in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. “Newport on the Levee supports this group as they strive to better Northern Kentucky through professional development events,” Prows said. The event is from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3. In case of rain, the event will be at the same time Sunday, Oct. 4. For more information, visit www.newportonthelevee.com.

What started as a burrito-eating contest for fun, has brought local firefighters together to help one of their comrades in need. In July, Gavin Michael Richmond, son of lieutenant Jim Richmond from the Fire Department of BellevueDayton, was born with three different congenital heart defects. After hearing about Gavin from some local firefighters who were eating lunch at Jalapenoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MexMex Restaurant in Cold Spring, manager Brandy Johnson-Chavez thought the contest she was planning would make an entertaining, successful fundraiser for the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would make a great fundraiser and it has,â&#x20AC;? Johnson-Chavez said during the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place has been rocking all day.â&#x20AC;? Brent Schafer, who works full time with Richmond in Bellevue-Dayton and part time at the Central Campbell County Fire Department, helped organize the event and bring firefighters together from Bellevue-Dayton, Central Campbell, Elsmere, Camp Springs, Silver Grove, Eastern Campbell, Southern Campbell, Fort Thomas, Wilder, Southgate and Alexandria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The family has insurance, but there are a lot of

other expenses they need help with, so we wanted to do as much as we could for them,â&#x20AC;? Schafer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a long road ahead of them, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really awesome to see all these departments come together to help.â&#x20AC;? Richmond said Gavin has already had one surgery on his heart, has another scheduled in a couple months and will have his

third, and hopefully last, when he is 3 or 4 years old. Richmond said he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how many people came to the event to support him, his son and his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Kim Amlung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty wild,â&#x20AC;? Richmond said. Throughout the day, Jalapenoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donated 15 percent of each check to Gavin and accepted donations.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community really came together today and made things happen,â&#x20AC;? Johnson-Chavez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to host more fundraisers for whoever needs them in the future.â&#x20AC;? Donations to Gavin can be made at the Fire Department of Bellevue-Dayton, 514 Sixth Ave., Dayton, or by calling Brent Schafer at 393-6693.

Nursing home still a go

The start of construction on the planned $22.5 million, 143-bed nursing home in Cold Spring, is awaiting financing. Carespring Health Care Management, the developer, hopes to get financing for the nursing home sometime in the next two months. Then ground can be broken on the 10-acre site by the interchange of U.S. 27 and the AA Highway, said Barry Bortz, CEO of Carespring. Bortz had said in January that he hoped to have the financing in place to start in January or February earlier this year. The recession has slowed, but not stopped plans for the nursing home with financial institutions having been loath to loan money, Bortz said. Plans for the nursing home was announced in 2008. It will replace half of the 286 nursing home beds lost from Camp-

bell County in 2006 when, amidst a state investigation into allegations of abuse, Lakeside Heights Nursing Center in Highland Heights closed. Carespring is also planning to build a Montessori school in the nursing home. Employing 200 people, the nursing home is expected to add $5.5 million annually in payroll tax to the City of Cold Spring. -Kentucky News Service

Students hear president on a delay By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

With many arms holding up heads in darkened classrooms, the majority of Campbell County Schools students tuned their eyes and ears to television sets showing a recording of President Barack Obama’s message about the personal responsibility of getting the most out of their education. Some parents opted to keep their children from hearing the speech because of political concerns, but the remainder of the district’s students watched the president on Thursday, Sept. 10, two days after the speech was broadcast live. Of Campbell County Middle School’s about 1,100 students, around 20 opted to work on an alternative assignment rather than hear the president’s education speech. A total of approximately 90 students of the district’s 4,744 students enrolled chose to opt-out of hearing the speech in favor of an alternate assignment. “I thought that it was really good because it kind of told us that he cared about our education and our futures,” said Jennifer Rawe, a seventh-grade student, of Alexandria, after watching the speech on television. Austin Richardson, 13, of Alexandria, an eighth-grade stu-

Speech on a tape delay

The district chose to delay the showing to students before the text of the speech was made public, said Juli Hale, director of community relations for the district. The district had some parents calling and concerned about politics being part of the speech even though people were told the speech was going to keep an education focus. “They (parents) were concerned that the speech might take a more political slant,” Hale said. The president did stick with a positive education message, but having the speech delayed has also allowed for teachers in the district to better incorporate the speech into their classroom learning plans, Hale said.

CHRIS MAYHEW/STAFF

Students in Vicki Foley's eighth-grade American History class at Campbell County Middle School watch President Barack Obama's speech to students across the U.S. about education Thursday, Sept. 10. dent at the middle school, said he already studied hard, but the speech makes him think about making sure he gets good grades and not be the class clown or hang out with the wrong crowd. “To try to be one of the best,” Richardson said. So, he’s taking an advance class, Algebra I, to try to get a head start on high school. Richardson said he wants to be like his cousin who took advanced

placement classes throughout high school so that he can get into the best college he can, and get the best job, making the best money that he can. Campbell County Middle School Principal David Sandlin said he received about 25 calls from parents with questions about the speech, and that about six of the callers were upset about the school district showing the speech because of political reasons.

“I don’t see how anybody can be critical of telling kids to be responsible and persevere to reach their goals,” Sandlin said. At Cline Elementary School a message on a hallway wall states “Everyone Learns Without Exception.” A similar message was contained in the president’s speech, who challenged students to overcome obstacles to get the best education they can for them-

selves. Natalie Hempfling, 9, of Cold Spring, a fourth-grade student at Cline, said the president’s challenge to set and achieve goals made her rethink her goals. The old goal was to get good grades, Hempfling said. But now it’s to also to do her best and to be good to her teachers and others, she said. Riya Patel, of Cold Spring, a fourth-grade student at Cline, said she thought it was important to hear that parents and teachers are trying their best for the students, so that it’s important for the students to try their hardest.

Appalachian themed event honors professor By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Some of the most prominent names in Appalachian literature are soon joining together to celebrate the life of one of their own who left them suddenly last year. Danny Miller, an English professor and chair of the English department at Northern Kentucky University passed away unexpectedly last November after dedicating 28 years of his life to the school. Miller, a native of Appalachia, became a specialist in Appalachian literature when the field was being formed and worked a large part of his life teaching others about it, said Kris Yohe, a professor at NKU and close friend of Miller’s. “I believe that the Voices from the Hills event is a fit- Danny Miller ting tribute to Danny because it brings some of the most important names in Appalachian literature together, which shows how these authors honor him and his work,” Yohe said. The event is meant to honor Miller’s life, work and the meaningful role he played at the school. “Danny was such an extremely warm, kind, outgoing and genuinely friendly man that I think many people felt close to him,” Yohe said. “...his work at NKU was also very precious to him and he was much beloved.” “He helped so many of us, and perhaps especially students, to feel at home and to feel connected to NKU.” Through his work with Appalachian literature, Miller touched many people throughout the country as well, said Bob Wallace, a NKU professor who is

organizing the event. A memorial service was held at the school shortly after Miller died, but Wallace said many felt more needed to be done. “It was a very moving experience and we really realized how lucky we were to have Danny,” Wallace said. “We decided we needed to do something to celebrate his life that included the many people outside of NKU that knew Danny.” Wallace said it wasn’t hard to get some of the most recognized Appalachian writers involved in the event since many of them were like family to Miller. The event includes a roundtable discussion about the future of Appalachian literature moderated by Laura Sutton, editor of Appalachian literature at the University Press of Kentucky, a memorial FILE PHOTO luncheon including a dialogue between Gurney Norman, poet laureate of Kentucky and Frank X Walker, an author and writer-inresidence at NKU who is known for coining the term Affrilachian, public readings by Norman, Crystal Wilkinson and Wendell Berry and a reception features Appalachian music by Sherry Cook Stanforth. Along with honoring Miller’s life and love of Appalachian literature, the event will also serve as a fundraiser for the Danny Miller Memorial Fund for students at NKU. The event is from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 at Greves Concert Hall at Northern Kentucky University. Advanced registration is required for the luncheon and recommended for the public reading. For information visit http:// english.nku.edu/people/danny miller/voices.php or call 572-5416.

Education foundation hosts fourth annual golf outing By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

The Bellevue Education Foundation is hosting its fourth annual Homecoming Golf Classic during the district’s homecoming week. The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the foundation, which reformed in 2006 after being inactive for years, said Superintendent Wayne Starnes, a non-voting member of the group. “The foundation gives friends, parents and alumni a chance to help all the students in Bellevue,” Starnes said. “We’re just getting the founda-

tion started again, so it’s a new thing for us but I can see great possibilities for it.” Starnes said the foundation’s board of directors is trying to model the foundation using many of the strategies of the Fort Thomas Education Foundation. “The Fort Thomas Education Foundation has really helped us and given us some great ideas,” Starnes said. The purpose of the foundation is to support and recognize innovative programs and innovation in technology, Starnes said, and to strengthen education in Bellevue. The golf outing, which Starnes

said he hopes will raise $5,000 to $7,000 this year, is at 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3 at Flagg Springs Golf Course. The cost is $70 per golfer, which includes 18 holes of golf and a steak lunch. For non-golfers, the steak lunch is available for $30. Hole sponsorships are available for $100. “Any gift people can give is an investment in our community and our children’s future,” Starnes said. Tickets and more information are available by calling Sharon at 261-2108.

Next games: Better defense expected By Adam Turer

Austin Collinsworth had 185 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries to lead Highlands over Withrow. Senior quarterback Will Bardo added another 126 yards through the air to go with his 78 rushing yards and one touchdown. Highlands outgained Withrow 426-333 and most of Withrow's yardage came through the air. Withrow quarterback Ryan Banks threw for 297 yards. Highlands hosts Boone County Sept. 18.

Bellevue and Scott high schools expect to get more out of their defenses in their next games after each team surrendered more than 40 points in their last contest. The Eagles defense will need to bounce back quickly after surrendering 48 points, including the game winning touchdown and two-point conversion with 15 seconds remaining. Bellevue has a bye the weekend of Sept. 18. The Tigers have more time to recover after giving up 41 points but escaping with a victory. These two teams played each other to a thrilling finish Friday, Sept. 11. Senior running back Ricky Buckler scored a three-yard touchdown run with 15 seconds remaining to give the Tigers the 48-41 win. Buckler rushed 31 times for 285 yards and four touchdowns to carry the Tigers to victory. He got plenty of help from his quarterback, senior Richard Wills. Wills completed 13 of 16 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown. He led his team 80 yards down the field for the winning score in just over two minutes. “He played a whale of a game,” Bellevue head coach Dave Eckstein of his quarterback said. “That last drive was phenomenal.” Tigers kicker Kaylynn Dill was 2-4 on extra point tries in the game. Eckstein did not want to put his kicker in a position to attempt a game-winning field goal. He wanted Wills to drive his team down the field for a touchdown. The

senior quarterback delivered. His counterpart also turned in a gutsy performance. Eagles senior quarterback/kicker/punter/punt returner/kick returner/ strong safety Zach Sowder nearly led his team to a come-from-behind victory. Sowder rushed for 279 yards, passed for 45 yards, rushed for two touchdowns, threw for another, and kicked five extra points. “He does a little bit of everything for us and does it all extremely well,” Scott offensive coordinator Dan Wolley said. Bellevue built a 28-14 lead late in the first half. Buckler scored on the Tigers first offensive play of the game, an 86-yard run. The Eagles scored with less than a minute remaining in the half on a 51-yard halfback pass from Ryan Sowder to Aaron Smith to cut the halftime deficit to seven. “That play changed the momentum going into the second half,” said Eckstein, who was not happy with his team’s mental lapse on the play. The teams exchanged touchdowns throughout the second half. Zach Sowder connected with Nick Farris for a 23yard score to give the Eagles their first lead of the game with less than three minutes to play. That was enough time for Wills to lead the Tigers back down the field. Bellevue, a Class 1A team, split its first four game

Fans react as Bellevue’s Ricky Buckler dives into the endzone with less than a minute left to give Bellevue a 48-41 win over Scott. of the season, all against bigger schools. “We challenged our team and it made us better,” Eckstein said. “We think it will really help us for district play. We’ve seen what we need to beat good teams.” Scott, a Class 5A team, drops to 0-3 on the year after suffering a heartbreakingly close loss for the second straight week. They bounced back against Bellevue after a one-point loss to Cooper. They will look to rebound again Sept. 18 against Harrison County. “Our kids are still fighting, still believing,” Wolley said. “We’ve gotten better every week. We’re proud of our team for putting ourselves in games and fighting to the end.”

Brossart 56, Jenkins 6

Brossart led 42-0 at halftime and never looked back. Senior Chris Bowman carried eight times for 66 yards and two touchdowns, while junior Andrew Guidugli carried three times for 49 yards and two scores. As a team, the Mustangs rushed 17 times for 203 yards and four touchdowns. Brossart (3-0) plays at Elizabethtown Sept. 18.

Ryle 45, NewCath 0

Newport Central Catholic running back Chris Kelly covers up the ball while running upfield during the first quarter.

Newport Central Catholic forced a three-and-out during Ryle’s first possession and the Thoroughbreds picked up a first down on its first offensive play Saturday, Sept. 12. However, the positives for NewCath ended there as the Thoroughbreds fell to 13 with its loss to the Ryle Raiders, 45-0. After stalling on its first drive, Ryle scored on sevenconsecutive possessions while also keeping NewCath off the board. NewCath faces off against Campbell County

(1-2) at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. “(NewCath is) a championship caliber program but their numbers are down,” Ryle head coach Bryson Warner said. “We used to play a lot of guys both ways but our numbers are increasing year in and year out. “Our staff has worked hard building up our depth and all three phases of the game were excellent Saturday night,” Warner added. Only one player starts both ways for Ryle whereas numerous NewCath players appeared on both sides of the ball, Warner said. During its shut-out win over NewCath, the Raiders out-gained the Thoroughbreds by a 428-122 yard margin. Ryle rushed for 252 yards in the game. “Our line did a great job run blocking and protecting the quarterback,” Warner said. “(NewCath) stacked the box to stop the run which allowed us to throw it very well. We have improved both phases of our offense.”

Harrison County 20, Newport 14

Newport was led by running back Demetri Brown, who had one rushing touchdown, and receiver Rodney Orr, who caught a 17-yard touchdown pass, in the 2014 loss to Harrison County. Harrison was led by senior running back Josh Moss, who had 102 rushing yards and a touchdown and defensive lineman Aaron Brooks recovered a fumble in the endzone. Newport was only able to gain 150 yards of offense. Newport plays at Dayton Sept. 18.

Highlands 21, Withrow 0

Lloyd 40, Dayton 27

Lloyd picked up its first win of the season with a 40-27 victory over Dayton. Senior running back Seth Chappie ran for 171 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Lloyd jumped out to a 27-7 halftime lead after a 20-point second quarter. Dayton was led by quarterback Dylan McGuire, who threw for 162 yards and a touchdown. He also picked up two touchdowns on the ground. Lloyd hosts Cooper Sept. 18, while Dayton hosts Newport.

Covington Catholic 33, Campbell County 14

Capturing his first win since taking over Covington Catholic’s program, head coach Dave Wirth and the Colonels improved to 1-3 with its win over Campbell County, 33-14. Covington Catholic hosts Beechwood (1-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. The Colonels gained 205 yards on the ground and produced 383 yards of total offense during its win over Campbell County. Quarterback Brayden Erpenbeck had 308 yards of total offense including 131 yards rushing on 26 carries while scoring two touchdowns on the ground. Erpenbeck also was 16for-24 passing for 178 yards. On his 18th birthday, tight end Beau Geisen scored on a 31-yard touchdown reception for Covington Catholic while catching four passes for 57 yards. Alex Connelly led Covington Catholic’s receivers with 101 yards on eight receptions. Leading the way for the Camels was Michael Kremer. The quarterback was 21-for-42 passing for 222 yards. Campbell County travels to face Newport Central Catholic (1-3) at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18.

Brossart volleys for 14 hours; win playoffs The Bishop Brossart Lady ‘Stangs (11-6) saved the best for last, and at the end of a 14-and-a-half hour marathon day of volleyball featuring both highs and lows, they won the Bronze Division of the Touchstone Energy All “A” State Volleyball Tournament Sept. 12 in Richmond, Ky. They started the day at 7:30 a.m. with a Whitefield Academy team from Louisville and had a great chance of winning both games. They led in the first 12-7

and the second 9-4 but eventually lost 25-21 and 25-14. Later in pool play the managed to rebound and edge Middlesboro 2518, 23-25, and 21-15. They finished pool play falling to Caldwell County 25-20, and then 25-10. That meant the Lady ’Stangs would qualify for the Bronze Playoffs (there were only Gold and Bronze no Silver). The Lady ’Stangs were ready to play knocking off eighth Region Champion Carroll County 25-15, 25-

19 and then rolled over Russell in the semifinals 259, 25-11 to set the stage for a dramatic match with a very good Monroe County team in the Championship at 9 p.m. The Tomkinsville, Ky., school is at the very high end of All “A” Enrollments with 594 students, and after one game it didn’t look good as Monroe took charge 25-15. But then Marie Heeb had first serve for game two. The junior drilled the Lady Falcons for a 7-0 start and the Lady ’Stangs fol-

lowed with a great team effort backed by raucous Bishop Brossart fans and parents. Brossart owned the second game, 25-14. Seventeen minutes later, the Lady ‘Stangs won the third game 21-14. Junior Felicity Britt pounded the floor with 59 kills to go along with 58 digs and 11 aces to earn Tournament MVP honors. She was joined on the All-Tournament team by sophomore Molly Williams (81 assists, 24 kills and 37

digs), junior Marie Heeb (49 digs, 8 kills and 12 aces) and senior Rachel Bankemper (32 digs and 6 aces). It was team effort though as other contributed greatly. Senior libero Chelsea Verst had 73 digs. Senior Anna Dykes had 19 kills, 12 blocks and 2 aces. Sophomore Meredith Harris had 6 kills and 3 blocks and sophomore Megan Herbst had 3 kills and 5 assists. The Lady ’Stangs won the Gold Division beating Bardstown Bethlehem 2520, 17-25, 21-17.

Highlands growing under new coach

Mustangs move forward after All ‘A’ tourney

By James Weber

Pennie Wiseman had a tough learning curve when she took over the Bishop Brossart High School volleyball team. After many years coaching at Highlands as either a head coach or assistant, Wiseman had a new group of players to get to know. “I think the toughest part was how they would fit together,” she said. “Teaching them the skills is not the hard thing, it’s figuring out their personalities and what makes them click. Sometimes people play better with different people besides them.”

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Whitney Edwards said half-jokingly that she should have brought a medic with her to Highlands High School when she took over the volleyball program. Soon after Edwards came over from the same job at Bishop Brossart last summer, she lost returning senior hitter Lindsay Osterhus to a torn ACL. Other players have been less than 100 percent with more minor injuries. Still, the Bluebirds bounced back from an 0-4 start to take a 6-6 record into their home Cake Classic Sept. 11-12. “Everything’s going well. It’s still turning into a big learning process,” she said. “The girls are getting used to me, and we’re dealing with injuries. But we’re getting on track.” Edwards said she has high expectations for her new team and they are working to fulfill them. “I think the biggest adjustment is getting used to me and my style of coaching,” she said. “I treat it as a job. I’m more than happy with how

we’re developing.” Edwards inherited a fairly young team. Tall middle hitter Claire A’Hearn is among the kill leaders in Northern Kentucky despite battling a thumb injury. Juniors Aly Fossett and Maggie Rixson lead the team in digs. Fossett was third in Northern Kentucky among teams that have reported stats. Jenna Theisen, a junior fourth-year starter at setter, is among the leaders in assists. An early-season highlight was a three-game win over Simon Kenton, although SK got revenge two days later. “We’ve had a couple of great wins,” Edwards said. “Simon was one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. Win or lose I was completely pleased with how the team played. SK is such a stellar team, beating them in three, the girls really needed that.”

says a new jail is needed. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Just exactly how was it determined that a new jail was necessary anyway? Studies were no doubt conducted. Consultants hired. But I can tell you that studies like this are written in such a way as to support what the decision makers already want to have happen. According to Mr. Pendery, the new bids that came in for this project were for $10 million less than what they were originally. The total for the new jail stands at $36 million, and he says this is competitive with bids that go back to 1999. Another example of a spending project that isn’t just being contemplated but is well under way is the new Campbell County Administrative Building that is being constructed on Monmouth and 11th St. in Newport. There had been a hotly disputed legal battle waged between warring parties in the local courts as to whether this building should be constructed in Newport or in Alexandria. What few people seemed to question was the need for the new building in the first place. Mr. Pendery states that the cost for this building came in $1.5 million cheaper than estimated, and that it’s being paid for by a bond that was floated at a little more than 4 percent interest. But the fact is that this building isn’t going to save anybody anything. No doubt the building is going to look nice and employees will enjoy working there, but it’s going to cost in the range of $13 million based on several published reports. We, as residents of this county, have to ask ourselves, as well as ask of our public officials, if this building is absolutely necessary, or does if it fall more into the category of a luxury. Mr. Pendary goes on to explain that there are a multitude of other projects that would also offer great savings to the taxpayer. When a public official uses the word savings, taxpayers have to translate this into spending. Another of these projects he mentions, by the way, is a new Justice Center. One really has to wonder . . . What I would say to Mr. Pendery, who I am sure is a fine gentlemen and has the best intentions, is stop trying to make sense of ways of spending money and instead start trying to make sense of ways of truly not spending money and putting dollars back into the hands of average Americans, like you and me.

Stop making sense In these tough economic times, there still seems to be plenty of money to spend, according to Steve Pendery, Campbell County JudgeExecutive. But how can that be? Even Pendery himself was quoted in an article in the Kentucky Enquirer in December 2008 about rising costs and budget deficits as saying, “Everybody is worried. We are going through tough times.” Tough times is an understatement. These are extraordinary times. What we read in the papers and see on the evening news and more than like have experienced personally is not only how there is very little money to go around but that whatever money there is, there is less and less of it. As far as local governments are concerned, we have heard of how two of their main sources of revenue have dropped off sharply, namely property tax and payroll tax. We also read, somewhat ironically, that one of the areas of greatest budgetary concern is the alarming rise in pension costs. For Campbell County these costs are expected to go up by 28 percent for the current fiscal year. There is something ironic about this because pensions are how government officials and employees pay themselves when they retire, and the way these pensions get funded is with our tax dollars, which comes from average folk like you and me. In the midst of all this financial turmoil comes an article written by Steve Pendery, who is our JudgeExecutive in Campbell County, which appeared in the Viewpoints section of the Fort Thomas Recorder dated Aug. 13. The title of the piece was “Some Spending Makes Sense.” No doubt some spending does make sense and is absolutely necessary, but I would say given the economic environment in which we live that Mr. Pendery is attempting to justify major outlays of taxpayer dollars for projects that don’t appear to make any sense at all. He starts the article off by stating, “There has never been a better time for public infrastructure projects.” Pendery goes on to explain that in Boone County “a new sanitation plant is needed, and a tunnel needs to be built to convey materials to it.” Perhaps so, but he claims that these projects were bid at a savings to local ratepayers estimated at $40 million. What exactly does this mean? What is being saved? It sounds like money is being spent, not saved. Mr. Pendery also writes that Kenton County is in need of a new jail. First off, I wouldn’t take it at face value when a public official

Living Green: Support clean water Water is a very important natural resource, and Kentucky is blessed with many creeks, streams and several rivers. It provides various recreational opportunities and is a source of water for many cities. Kentucky has another plentiful resource in coal, which is mined in the mountains of Appalachia. It provides electricity to us, as well as other states. Economically, water and coal are both important to Kentucky. Unfortunately, mountaintop removal, a destructive form of coal mining, is polluting and destroying our waterways. How can we sacrifice safe, clean water for the sake of this type of coal mining? The Federal Water Pollution Control Act was passed to protect our nation’s tributaries and disallowed dumping of waste materials into waterways. In 2002, the Surface Mining and Control Reclamation Act provided a loophole for the mountaintop removal companies, allowing them to dump tons of toxic mine waste into the valleys, poisoning the streams that flow through these valleys. Local residents, who directly depend on these streams for their water supply, cannot drink it or use it for any other purpose. As a Northern Kentucky resident, it may be easy to remain passive about this issue. You don’t hear much about it in the media, it is happening many miles away from us, and doesn’t really affect us, or so you think. Duke Energy generates electricity utilizing mountaintop removal coal, and the polluted

Sharon Tepe Community Recorder guest columnist

waters from Appalachia ultimately flow into the Ohio River, a water source for many Northern Kentucky resi-

dents. To correct the problem, legislation has been introduced in the House (Clean Water Act, H.R. 1310) and the Senate (Appalachia Water Act, S. 696) to refine wording in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The proposed wording states “fill material is any pollutant that replaces a portion of the waters with dry land or modifies the bottom elevation of a body of water for any purpose.” Coal removal has been going on in the mountains of Kentucky for over 130 years, employing several generations of Kentuckians. One argument against this legislation is that it will eliminate numerous jobs. Unlike traditional coal mining, mountaintop removal doesn’t require as many workers. Today only 7 percent of coal miners are employed by mountaintop removal companies. It doesn’t take many workers to blow the top off a mountain, gather the coal and push the waste into the valley below. If these types of coal companies are required to dispose of waste properly, this would increase employment opportunities. Also, the return to traditional form of coal mining may also occur, increasing employment. Another argument against this legislation is that our price for elec-

tricity will go up, as a result of increasing the costs to the coal companies. Yes, the price of electricity could go up, but we have to ask ourselves how are we paying for this in other ways. How much does it cost to clean up a stream, river or creek once it is polluted? Who is responsible for removing these toxic materials from our drinking water? How much money is lost in tourism when streams and rivers are polluted and can’t be used? All of us pay for these things in the form of higher taxes and water bills. This isn’t about adding burdensome legislation to businesses and consumers; it is about fixing legislation that specifically allowed the mountaintop removal coal mining companies to circumvent the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Please take a few moments to write your political representatives supporting the Clean Water and Appalachia Acts, and let them know that this continued pollution of Kentucky’s waterways is not acceptable. Unfortunately, one coal lobbyist voice is louder than one taxpayer voice; everyone needs to take action. Only through numerous letters can we convince the politicians that clean rivers and streams are important to all Kentucky residents, even in a coal producing state. Clean water shouldn’t be sacrificed for the sake of cheap coal. Sharon Tepe is a resident of Fort Thomas and founder of Campbell County’s Go Green.

Heroin: Signs and symptoms I hope you had the opportunity to read my article Sept. 3 on heroin. As further proof of the devastation of heroin, I am attaching a poem written by Charles Manson. This poem was given to my basic law enforcement class by a trainer that worked court security in California. The officer took it from Manson during his murder trial:

“The King”

Behold my friend I am HER-O-IN, Known to all as the destroyer of men, From whence I first came nobody knows, but I come from the land where the poppy grows, I am the world power, and know it is true, Use me just once and you'll know it too, I came to this country without a passport, and ever since then I've been hunted and sought, Whole nations have gathered to plot my destruction, For I am the breeder of crime and corruption, In cellophane bags I have made my way, to men in offices and children at play, From the heads of state to the lowest of bums, From the richest estates, to the poorest of slums, I can make a man sell his country or flag,

Make a girl sell her virtues for a five-dollar bag, I can take a rich man and make him poor, Or take a young maiden and make her a whore, Some find me a joy and to some a tiller, I can put a gun in your hand and make you a killer, The reckless few who use me the most, I kill them quick with one over dose, I will make you steal, borrow or beg, Then search for a vein in your arm or leg, Once in your blood stream you won't think me mean, You'll praise me as master, then nod off and dream, I can make a schoolboy forget his books, Make a famous beauty forget her good looks, I stopped an army in China, I financed Iran, I'm welcome in Turkey, respected in Japan, Am I not a great god to behold, More treasured than diamonds, more precious than gold, More potent than whiskey, more heady than wine, I am the way of all of man kind, So the police have taken you from under my wing, they dare defy me, I am who king, Now you live in this lousy jail, it's hard to get to you, through visits and mail, Then curse my name, revile me speech, But you'll use me again when you're back on the streets, So all through your sentence, resolve to

your fate, Fret not or worry I'll be at the gate, Run if you want for I'll not give chase, For sooner or later you'll return for your taste, You've heard my warning, but you won't take heed, So put your foot in the stirrup and mount this great steed, Get right in the saddle, and ride me well, For the “white horse of heroin” is headed for hell.

Last week’s question

Should there be laws banning all use of cell phones while driving? Why or why not? “There should be laws banning cell phones while driving unless they are completely ‘hands-free.’ A driver’s eyes need to be focused on the road, not looking down at a cell phone.” H.S.

“Absolutely! You cannot keep your mind on traffic and on a phone conversation at the same time no matter how smart you think you are. I tried it once to see how it felt and almost ran into three cars. I was sitting at a red light on U.S. 42 and looked to my

left, my right and in the rearview mirror. Guess what? All three were on the cells. And drove off yakking.” Duke “Yes. The distraction while driving only increases the chance of auto accidents. Phones should be used only when the car is parked.” G.G. “This question struck a raw nerve with me and I’m sure with anyone else who has lost a loved one due to the actions of a distacted driver. Absolutely! There should be laws banning all use of

cell phones while driving and with severe and costly penalties. It’s bad enough we deal with people that drive under the influence, and now they’re on the phone. I cannot think of any reason that would justify a person using a cell phone while driving.” N.C. “Why stop at cell phone use? Why not ban driving with one hand, talking to passengers, eating, drinking, smoking, singing, adjusting the radio/heater/air conditioner, looking at people/ scenery/billboards, reading the newspaper, putting on make-up, changing clothes, etc.? All of these behaviors have resulted in

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Fort Thomas woman turn hobby into business For as long as she can remember, Fort Thomas resident Dawn Warner has pursued her hobby of photography. Now, after years of doing other various jobs, Warner is turning her hobby into a career, and starting her own photography business, Lady Bug Photography Group. “The graphic design and photography business is more my passion and dream, so I decided to follow that,” Warner said. Warner said her photographs are different than many other photographers because she strives to get natural-looking shots, and she gets to know her clients. “One of the unique things about a photo session with me is that I like to first have a pre-consultation, get to know my client and (allow) my client to be comfortable with me,” Warner said. Warner offers a variety of packages and prices and takes pictures of anything from families and pets to sporting events and landscapes. Warner and her hus-

The Campbell County Public Library helped uncork an annual reading initiative with a Prohibitionera style party Friday, Sept. 11 centered around a book set in the 1920s. It was the first, but not the last event in public libraries in Campbell, Boone and Kenton counties promoting the 2009 Northern Kentucky One Book One Community reading selection of “The Jazz Bird” by Craig Holden. The story, although fictional, is set in real life Prohibition hot spots around Cincinnati, Newport and other local locations. The book is filled with guns, murder, corruption, booze and characters including the real-life Cincinnati area whiskey bootlegger George Remus. Members of the Delhi Historical Society and Museum brought a display on Remus that will travel to each county’s library system, and vintage cars from the 1920s were parked in front of the Cold Spring Branch compliments of the Horseless Carriage Club. StoneBrook Winery in Camp Springs provided wine samples for $1 each, and Funky’s Catering and Proverbs Coffee Cafe donated food for the event. Ginger Powell of Highland Heights was one of dozens of people who attended the kickoff gala, which offered library patrons a chance to check the book out before others. Powell came with two other friends who often share the books they read. Powell said she’s been reading about the Newport Gangster’s Gamblers & Girls historic walking tour, and that the “The Jazz Bird” goes along with that storyline. “I want to find out more about that era,” she said. Jerry Maringer of Wood-

Maringer also said he’s interested in reading the book too, even though he understands it is fictional, because of his childhood memories. “I was born and raised in Newport,” Maringer said. “I saw a lot of gambling. We were just kids, but we knew what was going on.” The idea for this year’s

book was to use local history to connect with more readers, said Joanne Rentschler, manager of collection development for the Campbell County Public Library and the chairwoman of this year’s Northern Kentucky One Book One Community committee. The thought is that the subject matter of the book will help draw more men into this year’s community reading initiative because of the local connections,

Rentschler said. “I think that it’s kind of a book that brings people in,” she said. Rentschler said the culminating activity of the library system’s involvement will be a chance for people to meet the author in November and ask him how he decided what would and wouldn’t be fictionalized in the book since the locations and some of the details are real. “I want to hear that answer myself,” she said.

The book is set in 1920s Cincinnati, and more library events are planned through November in Campbell, Kenton and Boone counties to complement the book, which everyone is invited to read.

When people turn into sheep

For sheep to be sheep is admirable. That’s their true nature. Sheep are never extolled today or in the scriptures as being clever or courageous. They seem more helpless than resourceful. They frequently wander off and get lost and are easy prey for predators. When in trouble, they usually panic and bleat for help from the shepherd. Sheep are not very smart. Yet, who can blame a sheep for being a sheep? They live what they are. What would be troubling would be to see a bird or a human try to live as a sheep. Especially a human. We’ve been created with a rational nature. We are to grow, develop insight and wisdom, possess a mind that enables us to seek and recognize truth and have the courage to live by it. Humans are supposed to need other human shepherds less and less as they mature. When immature, and still growing, we need parents, disciplinarians and teachers – guides outside ourselves. When we grow up – if we grow up – our guidance comes chiefly from within ourselves; a well-formed conscience and sense of responsibility. Guides outside of us never become completely unimportant, but much less neces-

sary. A sad thing seems to be happening. Too many people seem to be acting as sheep. Sheeple are people who act like sheep. When that occurs, we don’t use our minds to study problems thoroughly and understand them effectively. We stop looking for truth. We graze on sound bites, slogans and little bits of information lying on the ground that taste good. When we are turning into sheeple, we lose sight of truth and priorities. We become easy prey for manipulation by politicians, advertisers, bureaucrats, and sometimes even by people we call religious leaders. Our shepherds are called spin doctors – false shepherds who have no interest in the common good, us, or the truth, only their own agenda. As sheeple we have a strong flock instinct.

important in life. We acquiesce to anyone who claims to speak for God. The masses of people have been pictured as a huge pyramid. Most of us are depicted toward the bottom somewhere, and the numbers become fewer as the pyramid narrows and ascends. Psychologists such as Abraham Maslow urge us to become self-actualized and move upward. That means to grow in knowledge and personal awareness of our own state and truths of reality. The journey upward is very difficult, but possible. Great spiritual teachers such as Jesus Christ told us what happens when we are transformed from sheeple to people, “ … you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” Free from what? Free from a flock mentality. Free from not recognizing our dignity. Free from ignorance, deception and being used by others. Free from our defenses and illusions in order to become our truest self.

shipping charges, a representative agreed to give her a $15 credit. But that still means the items she wanted cost her $40, and the shipping and handling cost $50 – more than the items themselves. “I just feel like they’re deceptive and if people aren’t paying attention they’re going to end up spending a lot of money they may not be able to get back,” LaRue said. So, I contacted the company LaRue had ordered from and was told they don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges in the ad because the same ad is used in Canada and charges will be quite different there. They maintain they do disclose the charges before the transaction is completed – and after the state sales taxes are added. But, LaRue said she never saw that disclosure.

Ads for products on TV and in print that don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges are becoming increasingly common. Such charges should be carefully considered before ordering because sometimes they can be quite substantial. That’s what a Westwood woman has learned. Sue LaRue has been analyzing ads and found several that either don’t disclose the charge or do so in small print. “I think they’re saying two things. I think they’re saying ‘free shipping’ or ‘plus shipping,’ but they’re not saying how much the shipping is. That’s what happened in my case,” she said. LaRue answered an ad she saw on TV. “It said on TV it was $19.99 plus shipping. I went online and ordered it. No place did it say how much the shipping was,” she said. But, even after she placed the order for two of the items, she just got a printout without the prices. “I agreed to pay $39.98. The shipping and handling was $65.80, but I didn’t know that till I got the package in the mail,” LaRue said. The packing slip showed the total cost came to more than $100 – something she says should have been disclosed upfront. She checked ads for products from different companies and found this is becoming more common. One ad touted the product as only costing $14.99, but the small print at the bottom said unless you cancel you’ll be charged three monthly payments of $39.99. After LaRue complained to the company about the

And, while you can c a n c e l your order and get back your Howard Ain m o n e y, Hey Howard! you can’t get back the shipping costs. Bottom line, carefully watch out for shipping and handling charges in both TV and print ads. If they are not disclosed in the ad, be sure to look for the charges before you place your order. As we’ve seen sometimes those charges can be more than the items themselves.

Relish your fresh peppers this season

My husband Frank and I went to an A m i s h country produce auction in B a i n bridge, Ohio, near The Seven Rita Caves, at Heikenfeld the invitation of Rita s kitchen f r i e n d s Bert and Bob Villing. It was something to see. As we approached the auction shelter, we saw horse-drawn wagons with huge amounts of pumpkins, melons and produce enter the graveled area. I understood that folks could bid on the whole wagonload. Inside the shelter you could walk around and check out the produce in smaller units, like a bushel of squash, three pecks of cucumbers, even up to 100 or so pumpkins and gourds. The little Amish boys were so cute – running around barefoot with sus-

pendered overalls and hats. Bert and I bought some beautiful red and green peppers. I couldn’t wait to get home to make Bert’s red pepper relish. I also made stuffed peppers for supper, with rice, lamb, tomato sauce and seasonings.

brown sugar 1 generous tablespoon cinnamon

Bert’s red pepper relish

No real recipe, but here are Bert’s guidelines slightly adapted by me. Makes 7 to 8 half pints. Measure ingredients after dicing. 6 cups of finely diced red bell peppers (or green, yellow, etc.) 11⁄2 cups finely diced onions Boiling water 1 ⁄2 cup diced jalapeños (opt.) Grind up peppers and onions in food processor, blender or just chop fine. Put in bowl and pour boiling water to cover. Let sit five minutes, then drain. Make brine.

Marge Miller’s apple dumplings

Marge is known as the apple dumpling lady in Clermont County and at my church, Holy Trinity in Batavia. I love her dumplings with the wonderful cinnamon flavor. They are always the first thing to go at any of our events. This is for Nancy, who began cooking at age 11. “My mother was a wonderful cook and my best friend. She passed away last year,” she wrote. Nancy wanted to re-create her Mom’s dumpling recipe which used brown sugar and cinnamon. Nancy said her Mom’s sauce was a thin vanilla sauce using cinnamon. I’ve adapted this only slightly.

1 double pie crust 8 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored (I’ve used whatever apples I had on hand) 4 teaspoons butter Mix the following and set aside: 1 cup granulated or

Divide the prepared pie crust into eight equal pieces. Roll out each piece into the shape of a square about 6 to 8 inches. To test the size, place an apple in the center of it and see if you can bring the 4 corners up to meet at the top. Place 1 peeled and cored apple in the center of one of the squares of rolled pie crust. Fill the cavity with some of the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Dot the top of the sugar with 1⁄2 tsp. butter. Bring one corner of the pastry up over the top of the apple. Take the opposite corner and overlap it over the first one. Moisten to seal these two together. Repeat with the last two corners of the pastry. Moisten to seal the last two corners together. Place the 8 dumplings in a sprayed baking dish.

Cinnamon sauce:

Combine the following syrup ingredients and cook for three minutes. If you can’t find cinnamon hearts, use a teaspoon of cinnamon and a drop or two of red food coloring if you want. 11⁄2 cups sugar 11⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 cups water 3 tablespoons lemon juice 7-8 cinnamon decorations (little cinnamon Valentine hearts) or more to taste 1 teaspoon vanilla (Rita’s addition) Pour the syrup over the dumplings in the baking dish. If you want, baste as they bake. Bake at 375 degrees for

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
