Erlanger takes stand on KLC By Jason Brubaker

RECORDER
Joining Fort Mitchell as Northern Kentucky cities who have publicly expressed their displeasure with the finances of the Kentucky League of Cities, Erlanger does not plan to participate in the upcoming KLC conference in Covington in September. While Mayor Tom Rouse said the city is not officially protesting or prohibiting city officials from attending, he made it clear that they’re unhappy with the direction of the KLC, specifically regarding expenditures that have come to light after a series of articles in The Lexington Herald Leader this summer. According to those articles, KLC officials have charged more than $300,000 for trips, meals and other expenses since 2006, including receiving perks such as Kentucky Derby tickets and University of Kentucky basketball tickets. Recently, The Herald Leader also reported that a KLC executive charged $80 on a KLC credit card at a Las Vegas strip club. In July, Fort Mitchell’s city council approved a resolution asking the KLC to post their finances online for public viewing, and also requesting them to follow the guidelines of a yetto-be completed state audit. “There’s a couple different ways we can show that we’re not happy about this, and to me, I think the best option is just not to
go,” said Rouse. “Everyone on council is free to do as they like, but I think it will speak volumes to simply not participate and not give them our money.” Council member Patty Suedkamp agreed, adding that she feels like the majority of the council feels the same way as Rouse. “I’m definitely not going to be there, because I think that will be a way to get our message to them and show we’re not at all happy,” she said. Rouse said that the Northern Kentucky cities have all pitched in some funds to cover a gift bag for the conference, with Erlanger contributing around $100. However, he said the gift bags do not mention the KLC anywhere, and simply say “Welcome” from the Northern Kentucky cities. “I think that was a great idea, because we’re definitely still glad to have people from all over the state coming here,” said Suedkamp. “But I’m also thrilled to see the city stand up to get our point across to the KLC.” Rouse and city administrator Linda Carter said they recently met with some KLC officials at the city building to voice their concerns. “I’ll just say that we were very clear on where we stand, and they left here with an earful,” said Rouse. “This is an issue we all feel very strongly about.” The KLF Conference is scheduled for Sept. 22-25 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center.

County animal shelter seeks volunteers By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Deb Marvin’s entrance to the dog adoption center in the Kenton County Animal Shelter is greeted each day with a myriad of wagging tails, excited barks and rattling of cages as the dogs bounce around, hoping to catch her attention. “You come in here and see all of their faces, and you end up just wanting to take them all home,” said Marvin. “This is just such a cool way to be around them and help out.” Marvin is one of about 15 volunteers at the shelter, which recently celebrated the grand opening of a new wing, allowing them to care for even more dogs and cats. With the additional space and the ability to hold more animals for longer periods of time, Volunteer Coordinator Elizabeth Cochran said the shelter is actively seeking more volunteers.
“Because we can hold animals longer, we really have a need for more people who can help out,” said Cochran. “It really is a rewarding experience for anyone who loves animals, and we’d love to get some more people in here.” Cochran said the volunteers must be at least 18 years old, and willing to work at least 12 hours each week, with tasks ranging from serving as an adoption counselor to cleaning cages to answering phones and greeting visitors. Diana Curtis, who started volunteering in March at the shelter, said she enjoys seeing all of the animals each day, and especially loves being a part of the adoption process. “It’s a great feeling when you match up a family with the dog or cat they want and see them go home happy,” she said. “Those are the best days for us here.” For more information about the shelter or to become a volunteer, call 3567400.

When long-time Erlanger councilman Keith Henry was diagnosed with cancer in February, friends say he handled the news like he handles everything else – with a fighting spirit and optimistic outlook. “When Keith found out, he made the decision right there that this was not going to beat him,” said long-time friend and Erlanger Mayor Tom Rouse. “He has been so positive and so upbeat throughout this that it’s really been inspiring to watch. “ “It tore us up to see him go through this, but he has really battled it,” added family friend Janet Mitchell-Cooper. “That’s why we knew we all had to pitch in and help him out.” “We” is the close-knit group of friends shared by Mitchell-Cooper and Henry, who has known each for almost 10 years since meeting

The fundraiser will be held at the Erlanger Lions Club on August 22. “We just wanted a way we could offer our support,” explained Mitchell-Cooper. “Keith is such a wonderful guy, and it’s been kind of neat to see how many people have stepped up to help with this and show how much they care about him.” Henry, who is in his 15th year on the city council and still attends every meeting when not

It means so much to me to have people supporting me – it’s an amazing feeling.”
Mitchell-Cooper said she’s been working closely with city officials, Henry’s fellow council members, friends throughout the community and even some childhood friends of Henry to organize the event. “Keith went to Grant County High School, and I actually ran into a guy who knew him from there, and now he’s spreading the word all over Williamstown about this also,” said Mitchell-Cooper. “We’ve got a lot of people on board, and it’s going to be a great evening.” The fundraiser, which will run from 6-11 p.m., will feature live music, dancing and split-the pot drawings. There will also be a cash bar. Guests should bring a $10 minimum donation and an appetizer or snack to share. “Keith is a great gentleman, and he deserves this,” said Rouse. “He’s done so much for the community and been so dedicated, and now it’s a chance to help him.”

Local driver competes in national Domino’s Safety Championships By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Just days before he headed to Michigan for the Domino’s National Truck Safety Championship, Mark Rose was surprisingly calm. “I guess I’ll just go in there with an open mind, stay calm and do the best I can,” he said. “If I end up doing really well, then so be it.” Rose, a nine-year veteran truck driver at the Domino’s Pizza Supply Chain Center in Erlanger, was one of just 16 drivers across the country selected to participate in the competition, which was held in late July in New Boston, Michigan. Each of the drivers selected had to have a spotless safety and accident record, and had to complete a written test and obstacle course at their branch.
JASON BRUBAKER/STAFF
Mark Rose, who works at the Domino's Pizza Supply Chain Center in Erlanger, competes in the 2009 Domino's National Truck Safety Championship , held in late July in Michigan. “It was a pretty big deal to be chosen for this, because there’s close to 500 drivers who are competing for it,” said Chantele Telegades, a media relations specialist for Domino’s. “It’s a fun event for them, but it also serves to highlight our emphasis on safety, and these drivers have all made that a priority.” Like the local competitions, the national competition featured a truck inspection, written test and obstacle course, with drivers being scored for each. As with the local competition, Rose said the obstacle course presented the most challenges, with drivers having to demonstrate a variety of maneuvers including backing through a
series of cones, navigating through tight turns, and stopping distance. “With the stopping distance, you have about a six-inch area you need to hit,” he explained. “Some of the stuff just comes as second nature to you after you’ve been driving for a while, but that’s one you really need to focus on, because it’s easy to go over the line if you don’t pay attention.” And although Rose said he didn’t win his region at the Championship, he did say the experience was an enjoyable one. “It was a good time,” he said. “I’m glad I was able to get the chance to do it, and it would be fun to try again sometime.”

Local festival calling for artists By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Covington has doubled the number of artists who can participate in the Fifth Annual Art Off Pike Festival Oct. 10, but 50 spots are still available for creative types in Greater Cincinnati. Deadline for submission is Aug. 15 and so far only 50 artists have signed up for the festival, which takes place on Seventh and Pike streets between Madison and Russell.
Art Off Pike provides a few-and-far-between opportunity to showcase your art or craft, said Natalie Bowers, Covington Arts District Manager. “It’s a great chance for artists to not only share their wares, but also to see who’s around,� she said. “It’s a great chance to see who’s who and cross pollinate with other artists.� Local artists shouldn’t be put off if they’re not painters or sculptors, Bowers said; all media can be

Art Off Pike is not restricted to Covington residents. In fact, Bowers hopes the festival will draw artists and art enthusiasts from all over Greater Cincinnati, not
just Covington. “We’re not recognizing geographical boundaries. We see this as a region,� Bowers said. “We want the artists that are in Cincinnati to feel welcome and we want to offer the regional audience for the artists to have a reason to come visit us here.� Art Off Pike chairman Ron Einhaus said the festival improves and grows

4H students get business lessons By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Nick Webber and Steven Bohman are warning the business world right now...they’re ready. “I definitely think I could start my own business some day,” said Webber, while Bohman nodded his approval. “We learned a lot, and I think it would be pretty fun one day.” Webber and Bohman were two of the approximately 25 students who participated in the 4H MiniSociety program, sponsored by the University of Kentucky Coopera-
tive Extension Service. The weeklong program taught the students how to become entrepreneurs, as they learned everything from types of corporate structures to supply and demand economics to scarcity principles. “It’s a pretty complex program because there is so much to learn, but they do really well with it,” said 4H extension agent Mary Averbeck. “It’s proven to be a really good learning tool for them to have, and I think the kids have a good time with it.” In addition to their entrepreneurial lessons all week, the stu-
dents actually had to design products, earn start-up cash and successfully run their own business. At the end of the week, they set up tables to display their goods for parents and grandparents, hoping to make a profit. The items for sale ranged from brownies and cookies to snow globes, flower baskets, stress balls, keychains and pillows. The students designed signs to advertise their business and attract customers to their “store”. “I think the hardest thing was just getting started and having that first idea,” said Bohman. “But
once you get going, it’s pretty cool because you can be creative and do pretty much whatever you think will work.” “This is been a fun project,” agreed Webber. “I’m pretty good with money, so learning about a business was good for me.” While the overall goal of the 4H Summer programs is fun and learning, Averbeck said the emphasis for the Mini-Society definitely leans more toward the learning side. “It’s a lot of work for them to get done during the week,” she admitted. “They have a lot of
terms to learn and they’re challenged in ways they may not have been before, but it is something they can enjoy along the way too.” As for the success of their business, Webber and Bohman could only hope for the best as they patiently waited for customers to make their way around the room. “I just hope we make a lot of money,” said Webber with wide smile. “That’s what we’re here for!”

Miles teachers Mary Fender, Amanda Eten and counselor Angie Bielecki talk with Mac Cooley, whose son will be attending Miles Elementary this year. The school has been doing the home visits program for three years to help build relationships with the families before the school year starts.
Home visits program is a success By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Just because the classrooms at Miles Elementary are empty a few days before the school year starts doesn’t mean the teachers aren’t hard at work preparing for the year. “See, you have to wear comfortable shoes for this,” explains teacher Mary Fender. “You’ll be doing a lot of walking, but it’s really kind of a fun thing, and it does make a big difference.” “This” is the home visits program employed by many schools in the Erlanger-Elsmere School District. The program was mandated three years ago by the school board. Many teachers and staff members have found it to be a positive experience as they try to build relationships with their students and their students’ families before the school year.
Each year, about two weeks before classes begin, the teachers gather and look over classroom rosters. They then plot out their journey, and set off across all areas of Erlanger and Elsmere, visiting their future students and greeting their families. Miles Principal Bryant Gillis said that by meeting with parents and guardians before the school year begins, the teachers are more likely to feel comfortable talking to them about their child’s progress throughout the year. He also said the students are likely to feel more comfortable early in the year if they feel like they know the teacher. “This has been a great program since we started it, and I think our parents really enjoy it,” said Gillis. “It shows them that our teachers are wanting to build relationships with the kids, and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from the
community.” In addition to spending a few minutes getting to know the students, the teachers also bring around basic school information for families who may be new to the district. If nobody is home, the teachers place the info in the mailbox. “I think sometimes people might get a little worried when they see three or four people walking around a neighborhood knocking on doors at 9:30 in the morning,” said teacher Amanda Eten with a smile. “But this is a good program, and it’s a good way to get to know the families a little before the year starts.” The first day of classes is schedule for August 17.

Pandas to lead Kenton County teams By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com
Since 1979, only three nonLouisville volleyball programs have won the state title. All three of those schools, Notre Dame, Villa Madonna and St. Henry are located in Kenton County. The Pandas have won the title eight times, the last championship coming in 1994. Since then, a Louisville school (Assumption, Sacred Heart and Mercy) has won the state title the last 14 seasons.
Notre Dame
According to the recently released preseason poll conducted by the Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association (KVCA), Notre Dame Academy is No. 4 in the state. The Pandas feature one of the best liberos in Kentucky, Leslie Schellhaas, who is the vocal leader of this talented Notre Dame team. “We are very excited. Every time we come in the gym we are ready to go, we are ready to bring back the Notre Dame tradition of winning state,” Schellhaas said. “We want to be the top team and be able to beat the Louisville teams.” Last year, Notre Dame finished with a 29-5 record and won the 9th Region championship before losing to eventual state champion Mercy in the second round of the playoffs. Notre Dame will return senior middle hitters Jaimie Wulfeck and Liz Barton. The Pandas will also return senior outside hitter Morgan Ebner. Senior setter Brooke Jones will be called upon to replace graduated senior Jenna Schreiver (Northern Kentucky University). The Pandas, under head coach Andrea Lanham, begin their season Aug. 13 at Cooper at 7 p.m.
ADAM KIEFABER/STAFF
Notre Dame sophomore outside hitter Emily Schmahl spikes the volleyball past a wall of Newport Catholic players during a scrimmage Aug. 5 at Notre Dame. The Pandas enter the 2009 fall season with high expectations and hope to win their first state championship since 1994. Kaiser, who has over 433 career wins as a head coach, is expected to have another great team. The Crusaders first home match will be against Sacred Heart Aug. 20 at 7 p.m.
Lloyd
St. Henry
Similar to Notre Dame, St. Henry is respected by the rest of the state and was voted No. 6 in the preseason poll conducted by the KVCA. The Crusaders finished 28-10 last season and was runner-up to Notre Dame in the 9th Region.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Davis rebuttal
Our District Representative, Geoff Davis, didn’t serve his constituents well using his column to quote radical opinions instead of educating us on H.R. 3200 America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. I googled the H.R. 3200 bill and read a simple 4 page summary for myself. Representative Davis quoted this opinion in his column: “the legislation is a stepping stone to single-payer insurance controlled by a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington..” In fact Rep. Davis knows the bill protects current coverage allowing individuals to keep the insurance they have if they like it – and preserves choice of doctors, hospitals and health plans. Representative Davis enjoys health coverage run by government bureaucrats and seems to be very satisfied. What’s the difference between a government bureaucrat and an insurance bureaucrat anyway? Rep. Davis offered up another quote stating, “ I don’t want to wait in long lines to get the level of health care I need.” Medicare is a government run health care plan and we don’t hear seniors complaining about long lines and lack of care. Public choice models exist in other nations providing citizens both top end medical care equal to the U.S. along with standard and preventive care with outcomes superior to ours. In fact our European economic competitors provide coverage for all with better health outcomes at half the cost we spend in the U.S. Finally Rep. Davis quoted a small business owner who said, “If I was mandated to provide health care for my employees or pay an 8 percent payroll tax penalty, I’d have no choice but to close my business”. Instead of spreading this misconception, Representative Davis might have informed us H.R. 3200 creates shared responsibility among individuals, employers and government. Recognizing the special needs of small business (payroll that does not exceed $250,000) the bill exempts small employers from the employer-sponsored coverage requirement. (That 8 per-

cent only applies to firms with payrolls above $400,000.) In fact, a new small business tax credit will be available to firms who want to provide health coverage to their workers, and they would benefit from a competitive marketplace in which to purchase coverage. Our legislators are entitled to their opinions and accountable for their votes, but in support of the democratic process, they should present the facts and then defend and debate their individual position.

Going green
Cherry Hill Swim Club is home to the Cherry Hill Dolphins Swim & Dive Team. For the past year, the team looked for creative ways to earn money – their first endeavor was to mark trash cans throughout the swim club specifically for collecting aluminum cans. Not only did this raise money, but it helped the environment as well. Next, they noticed that little kids drink lots of “juice pouch” drinks. They located a company that recycles juice pouches and turns them into usable items – purses, backpacks, etc., and the team earned a little more money. So when the Dolphins heard about “Trash for Cash” program in Boone County, they knew it would be the perfect fit to their “go green” philosophy, as well as a way to create some team bonding. Nine Dolphin swimmers and their families gathered on a very rainy July 25 to clean up a threemile area around the Circleport Industrial Park. Everyone donned their vests, gloves and – armed with their “picker-sticks” – set out on their mission. They were surprised at how much trash people just throw out their car windows and were glad to help beautify the community they swim and dive in. Oh, did the rain bother them, not at all, Dolphins are used to getting wet. Kris Staverman Secretary Cherry Hill Swim & Dive Team Boosters Inc.

Hummingbirds like a sweet treat Question: What is the best recipe for making my own solution of hummingbird nectar? I’ve been using 3:1 water to sugar mixture, and they seem to like it. How can I stop the bees from getting into my hummingbird feeder? How long should I leave the feeder up in the fall? I have heard that if you leave it up too long, they will not migrate south for winter, and will die from the cold. Answer: It is fun and good to make your own sugar-water solution for the hummingbird feeder. Commercial mixes can cost more than homemade sugar-water solutions, and many of them also contain preservatives that might harm the birds. Here is how to make your own: Mix up a solution of about four parts water to one part sugar. This is the best ratio, because it is about the average amount of sucrose produced in typical flowers that attract hummingbirds. Do not make the solution any stronger, or it begins to attract butterflies and bees instead, since most flowers pollinated by butterflies and bees have an average nectar content of 42 percent. Boil the water and sugar for two minutes. Do not microwave the solution, because microwav-
ing causes a breakdown in the sugar molecule that can change the nutritional value. Cool the mixture and refrigerate. If Mike Klahr you continue to Community have a problem bees at the Recorder with feeder, reduce columnist the amount of sugar (or add more water) to create a 5-to-1 ratio. The birds will still use it, but bees probably will not. Do not add red dye. Some information suggests that red dye can actually harm the birds. Most commercial feeders have sufficient red to attract the birds. Never add honey to the mixture. It will create mold and fungal disease problems. Active feeders will be emptied in a hurry. If you do not get any activity at a feeder for several days, take the feeder down, empty the solution, and replace it with fresh sugar water. Every week or so feeders, even active feeders, should be taken down and cleaned with a mild soap detergent, rinsed with bleach, and
then rinsed thoroughly with water. There is great debate about when to take a hummingbird feeder down. Some people say the birds will not migrate if feed is still available, which is not true. You should leave your feeder up as long as the birds are coming to it. Migrant hummers normally show up by late July and will continue passing through until October. While feeding is the best method of bringing the birds into your yard, you can also provide natural sources of nectar by planting certain flowers and shrubs, such as buckeyes (red, Ohio, or yellow buckeye), summersweet Clethra, rose mallow Hibiscus, Carolina silverbell, rhododendrons, weigela, trumpet creeper, passionflower, flowering tobacco, red Salvia, dianthus, zinnia, Mexican sunflower (Tithonia), snapdragon, Heuchera, copper or red iris, fire pinks, columbine, phlox, beardtongue, Monarda bee balm, obedient plant, cardinal flower, monkey flower, foxglove and gayfeather (blazingstar).

Laws concerning passing school buses With school starting back up in many locations, I thought it would be beneficial to review Kentucky's laws concerning passing school buses. This is also an important area of safety for all our children. Prior to stopping a school bus for picking up or letting off children, the driver is required to activate amber flashing signal lamps. Once the bus comes to a complete stop, the driver is required to extend the stop arm and activate the red flashing signal lights prior to opening the door of the bus. Bus drivers are only supposed to stop the buses in locations where there is reasonable visibility to approaching motor vehicles in both directions. Also, a bus driver is not permitted to stop a bus to pick up or discharge children on the opposite side of a highway of four lanes or more, except for discharging passengers at a marked pedestrian crossing. If a school or church bus is stopped for the purpose of picking up or letting out passengers with the stop arm and signal lights activated, the operator of any vehicle approaching from any direction must stop for the bus and shall not proceed until the bus has completely let out or picked up all passengers and started moving. However, these stopping requirements do not apply to vehicles approaching a stopped bus from the opposite direction upon a highway of four or more lanes. For example, if you are approaching a school bus from the opposite direction on the four lane sections of U.S. 27,
Dixie Highway, Burlington Pike, or other four lane roads, you do not have to stop. On all two lane roads, the traffic must stop in both direcJames A. tions. Please be Daley very cautious even on the Community four lane roads Recorder as young chilguest dren are not with columnist familiar the laws and may dart in front of traffic at any time. In order to help deter people from illegally passing school buses and to catch violators, Kentucky law provides that if any vehicle improperly passes a stopped school bus and the identity of the operator cannot be determined, it is a rebuttable presumption that the person in whose name the vehicle is registered or leased was the operator of the vehicle at the time of the violation. Therefore, if the bus driver or someone else gets the license plate number of a vehicle that improperly passes a school bus, charges can be issued against the registered owner or the person who is leasing the vehicle. If that person was not in fact the driver, they would need to come into court and prove such. For instance, if one of your children was driving your car and illegally passed a school bus, you could be charged and you would have to come in to court to explain that it
was your child and not you. In all likelihood, your child would then be charged with passing the school bus. Passing a school bus illegally is considered a very serious offense under Kentucky law. The penalty for a first offense is a minimum of a $100 fine up to $200 and/or 30 to 60 days in jail. For any subsequent offense within three years, the penalty is from $300 to $500 and/or 60 days to six months in jail. In addition, a conviction for passing a school bus results in six points being assessed against your driver's license. Hopefully, this will help clarify the laws concerning passing school and church buses. We all know how students, especially very young children, sometimes run to and from a school bus without checking traffic. We all need to be extremely careful when approaching a school bus from any direction that is loading or unloading children. It seems like every year in Kentucky and other parts of the country children are struck while heading to or from a school bus resulting in death or serious physical injury. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

CH@TROOM Should Major League Baseball reinstate Pete Rose? Why or why not? “Yes. Michael Vick, who only received a 23-month sentence for dogfighting, is eligible to be reinstated to the NFL and will likely be playing somewhere this fall. Not only was it just gambling on dogfighting and financing its operations, this boil on the but-
tocks of society also tortured losing dogs by electrocution, drowning and gunshot. What a sick, sociopathic individual. “Pete simply gambled on baseball, without any of the barbarianism exhibited by Michael Vick, and he is banned for life. How is that fair? It’s not, and if that is all the punishment Vick received for such revolting acts, then Pete has definitely paid his debt to society.
I think most people would agree with this.” L.L.F. “I believe Pete has paid the penalty for his unacceptable activity in betting on baseball. He has established the record and as a result he does belong in the Hall of Fame.” F.J.B.
“For example, there is a young couple in our parish who have adopted a number of children, assuming lifetime responsibility for their care and development. The couple are white, and the children are black and mixed race. “These people are far more worthy of recognition and attention than any Pete Rose or Michael Jackson.” B.B.

Library children’s staff this week’s Catch a Star By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
A patron of the William E. Durr branch of the Kenton County Public Library nominated the Children’s Programming staff at the library for their hard work entertaining and educating children during the summer. Kate Broadhurst, Janet Millner and Jenny Neltner have created, organized and been ringleaders of children’s programs for over 14 years combined. “It’s great to be appreciated,” Broadhurst said. Neltner agreed, saying “It’s definitely a morale booster – we’re free and we rock!” Children’s Programmers provide fun, entertaining and mostly free activities to children in Kenton County all summer long. “We really go all out in the summer,” Broadhurst explained. “We really make an effort to create an excit-
ing environment where it’s going to be like, ‘Reading is fun!’” This summer, the library has hosted a Circus Party, Matchbox car racing, tiedying and more. Children’s programmer Millner said watching children enjoy a program she created is very rewarding. “That’s the payoff. That’s the fun part,” she said. “That’s what makes it all worthwhile.” And even though summer’s end is in sight, that doesn’t mean the programs at the Durr library stop. “We’re still here in the fall. We want kids to come back in the fall. We have a ton of programs available for kids of all ages,” Broadhurst said. Already planned are a Star Wars party, a Barbie’s 50th Birthday Bash and a Grandparent’s Day celebration in September. Check kentonlibrary.org for a full schedule of fall events.

Most people switch jobs. Maggie Bauereis, 24, switched continents. Bauereis’ new job teaching at Prishtina High School took her from Villa Hills to the newly-formed Republic of Kosova, or Kosovo in Southeastern Europe Aug. 17. Prishtina High School, founded in 2007, is modeled after American curriculum and high schools and is part of the American Schools International, a mission supported by churches all over the world, including Lakeside Christian Church. Bauereis, a Lakeside member, had done missionary work before in Jamaica and just knew travel and community service were for her. “It was one of those ‘I can do this for the rest of my life,’ kind of things,” said Bauereis, who left her clerical job in a doctor’s office to teach in Kosova. Like her sister who is a missionary in Ireland, Bauereis felt “called” to teach at Prishtina. “This is something that tugged at my sister’s and my hearts,” she said.

What’s “compelling” about working with Kosova children is “you’re just helping kids that may not otherwise would be able to go to an American or European university,’ Palmer said. “You’re really going to help make a dream come true.” Since it was founded the school has grown from 26 to more than 120 students this coming school year, Palmer said. “It’s been a rewarding experience. They’re just sharp as tacks, they just soak it up and they’re doing great,” he said.

The emerging spirituality of imperfection
Trying to be perfect in anything is a huge mistake. That’s because we’re human. It’s doubly so when it comes to the spiritual part of being human. It’s said the first prayer of a human is a cry for help. “O God, come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me,” (Psalm 70) begins a monastic’s prayer. Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, never did “get religion,” but he did become a spiritual man. Through the pain of his life experience he came to realize that unless he made connection with a power greater than himself, he was lost. He was convinced that “We must find some spiritual basis for living, else we die.” Some people think being spiritual means becoming perfect. Not at all. Throughout the centuries
there has gradually emerged a spirituality of imperfection. A spirituality of imperfection says that the first step involves facing oneself squarely and seeing ourselves as we are: mixed-up, incomplete, and imperfect. To be human is to be errorprone. We are more than the beasts, less than God, yet somehow we are both. Authors Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham write, “Spirituality helps us first to see, and then to understand, and eventually to accept the imperfection that lies at the very core of our human being.” Spirituality is not a formula to follow; it is a relationship with God. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection and
doing everything right; it’s about connection. In “Messy Spirituality” Michael Yaconelli states, “The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives. Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality, not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.” A more terse description of our flawed nature is contained in O’Neill’s play “The Great God Brown,” “Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue.” Hopefully along the way we become more humble, loving and compassionate. The steps along
the way are not ascending some recognizable glorious staircase called ego, but learning to live the ordinariness of our everyday lives. “Don’t fuss too much about yourself, or fight the truth, just accept yourself and grow,” said an old spiritual director. As Henri Nouwen wrote in his “Genesee Diary,” “He who thinks that he is finished is finished. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are demons.” The secular world does not encourage people to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of our nature. Rather it rages against religious systems which they believe deprive us of our desires and physical vitality.
David Tacey says of the secularist, “When Father Lou religion is rejectGuntzelman ed, it does not mean that the Perspectives spirit and soul go away or disappear. They are simply repressed into the unconscious where they become factors of disturbance and causes of psychic suffering.” Imperfection is the crack in our armor, the wound that lets God in. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Local lenders best when mortgage issues arise Despite federal efforts to get mortgage lenders to do more to help homeowners remain in the homes, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. More than 200,000 trial loan modifications are now underway, but the government wants double that amount by November. Robin Peach of Burlington is one of those homeowners who have had trouble with her mortgage for the past two years. “I’ve had problems with them in the past, and I started paying them with Quick Collect from Western Union. But, back in March the bank sent two of my payments back to me,” Peach says. A letter from the bank said Peach had defaulted on her mortgage because she owes about $570. But, she says, she has regularly sent in her payment via Western Union. Unfortunately, when she does that all she has is a record of sending the money and no receipt showing the bank actually received it. As a result of the uncertainly, Peach started making her payments by Certified Check but says that hasn’t helped either. “Right now I stand in active foreclosure. They sent another two payments back to me on Saturday. They’re not accepting my money. I’ve got about four grand, almost five grand floating around,” Peach says. A January letter from her bank says she’s behind in her payments by $2,800, plus $100 in late fees. Peach says she doesn’t understand how the bank came up with those figures
but hasn’t been able to get any answers. She hired an attorney in December says Howard Ain but that hasn’t Hey Howard! helped. I had Peach call her bank directly and I got on the line to try to figure out what’s going on. Peach says, “I’m very frustrated. It’s just that I’m very busy at work and I don’t have time to deal with this. But, I have to have a place to live.” Unfortunately, Peach is dealing with an out-of-state lender so she can’t just go over and talk with a manager. Bank officials I talked with on the phone tell me they don’t want her house and would rather she be out of foreclosure. They told me the bank did receive her payments for November and December but just hadn’t applied them to her account. Yet, they applied the January payment before putting her into active foreclosure. I explained how she now has thousands of dollars in payments she can send and bank officials said they will have someone from their repayment team contact her. Officials say that team should finally be able to get all this confusion resolved – and expressed confidence she could get out foreclosure. Once she gets out of foreclosure Peach says she plans to contact a local savings and loan to see if she can refinance. I’ve found it’s always best to have your loan serv-
iced by a local bank or savings and loan because, if there’s ever any problem, you have someone you can talk with face-to-face rather than trying to deal with many different people over the phone.

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
MICHIGAN The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
