BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Southgate House finds new location

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

NEWPORT — The owner of the former Southgate House in Newport will soon be re-opening the business at a new location in the city.

Newport’s Chief Financial Officer Joe Ewald said that Morrella Raleigh, daughter of former Southgate House owner Ross Raleigh, has obtained some of the necessary permits from the city to begin work on the old Grace Methodist Episcopal Church building located at 111 East Sixth St., in Newport.

Bev Holiday, the city’s community liaison coordinator, said that the Raleighs are renovat-

ing the former church, which was purchased from Bob Weber, owner of Dickey’s Glass.

Holiday said Morrella Raleigh is handling the project, and is hoping for a late August or early September opening.

The Southgate House, a staple in the area’s music community, closed the doors of its previous location, at 24 East Third St., on New Year’s Eve after a legal dispute between Ross Raleigh and his sister, Amina Lee, a part-owner of the property.

The former location has reopened as the music venue the Thompson House.

This story will be updated when more information is available.

ALEXANDRIA — Campbell County Schools Superintendent Glen Miller, starting his second year leading the district, says he will remain focused on lobbying the state to equip and furnish the new tech school being built by the district.

Miller was hired as superintendent in June 2011.

Upon arriving, Miller said he spent lots of time listening to

staff and learning from them.

“The thing that I heard from the staff is that they wanted a vision, they wanted direction and guidance to move forward, and from that is where the district created some focus points,” he said.

The focus points included: promoting the district’s high academic achievements, enhancing academic and athletic facilities, promoting school community relations, and promoting new technologies, Miller said.

The goal is to move toward trying to achieve a national recognition for the district, he said.

“So to me it was a very good year of setting the vision for the district,” Miller said.

Obstacles have mainly been budgetary, he said.

“We’re working with legislators to try to bring more money to the schools,” Miller said.

B-Alerts offered to keep residents informed

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

BELLEVUE — The Bellevue Police Department is offering a new option for residents to stay informed about important incidents in the city.

The department recently started offering B-Alerts, an email alert service that provides information about recent crimi-

nal activity in the area.

Police Chief William Turner said the idea for the B-Alerts came up at a recent Bellevue Neighborhood Association meeting, where residents expressed a desire to be more informed and involved.

“These alerts are a way for us to respond to residents’ concerns about being informed,” Turner said. “We decided to take advantage of the technology we have

available to us.”

Turner said through the police department’s website, residents can sign up for the alerts, which will be sent out for things like a series of burglaries in the area, information about a suspect and if a child goes missing.

Like other cities in Northern Kentucky, Bellevue has seen a recent increase in burglaries, which is something the depart-

ment wants residents to be aware of, Turner said.

“We can’t be everywhere at once,” Turner said. “We want to get residents used to calling the police department, be proactive and keeping an eye out for each other.”

Turner said having residents watch out for each other and pay attention to what’s going on around them will help the department bet-

ter address the issues the city is facing, which have included 47 burglaries so far this year.

“It only takes about two minutes and citizens only needs to answer a few questions and they are signed up,” Turner said. “Working together we can make a difference and put the word out that Bellevue is tough on crime.”

Town & Country is a great example of our collective efforts to integrate and provide high quality care and services to the communities we serve,” said Ed Dobrzykowski, system director of rehabilitation services and sports medicine at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in the news release. “We are excited to have this opportunity to extend our outpatient service offerings and expand the promotion of general wellness and fitness in our community.”

J.T. Roberts, chief operating officer of Town &

Country, said the partnership is a win-win for Northern Kentucky athletes.

“By teaming up with a proven leader such as St. Elizabeth, we can help extend our winning capabilities for health promotion and fitness of the Northern Kentucky community,” Roberts said in the news release. “Our mission is to successfully combine the team sports business with a family health and recreation membership club, creating the best combination of sports, exercise and family fun.”

ing after the state for $1.5 million for them to live up to their expectations of obligations to furnish that building,” Miller said.

Because of the economy and state budget crunch the state has not been able to provide any hope of spending anything for new equipment for the building, he said.

All the district can do is continue to work with the state and see if there is new equipment and furniture available from the about 50 other area technology centers in the state, Miller said.

The district’s successes in the past school year have included building up the infrastructure to ensure each school has wireless capability for the Bring Your Own Device program, he said.

“Now the district started that before I came, but I expedited it,” Miller said.

“And we put in a lot of resources to make it happen a lot faster.”

The district spent about $200,000 in the last year for wireless technology, and now every school has a wireless network, he said.

About $150,000 is needed to upgrade some of the older networks so each of them can interact with oneanother, Miller said.

The district will continue in 2012-13’ to tout its

educational accomplishment, he said. The district was ranked 15th in the state in ACT composite score last year, and was ranked third in Northern Kentucky among local school districts, Miller said.

Looking ahead, Miller said the district facilities planning committee will be another priority. Based on data from state projections the district’s middle school and high school are either overcrowded or will be overcrowded in the near future, he said.

“Now we do not have the bonding capacity to build the new school, but at least we’re able to start analyzing data and start making preparations that if funds ever become available that we’d be ready to make some movement,” Miller said.

The district is also in the initial stages of seeing what it would take to add a unique high tech academy wing at the high school. The academy would be run by the district and be in addition to the tech center, he said. It will also likely require special funding, Miller said.

“We’re interested in looking at the feasibility of adding a high tech academy where it’s more on project based learning, engineering and so forth,” he said.

The building will provide skilled labor for students in welding, auto body, health services, electricity and carpentry, but so far the state has no plans to spend money on new equipment or furnishings for the building, he said.

NEWPORT — Campbell County really cleans up through its solid waste department.

David Plummer, the solid waste coordinator for the county, gave an overview of recycling and cleanup programs supported by Campbell County during the July 18 fiscal court meeting in Newport.

Plummer said it was a review of a “laundry list” of events he was involved with in the past six months.

Christmas tree recycling

The county recycled 1,176 trees after Christmas 2011. Christmas tree recycling has increased each year of the program from 195 in 2008, 589 in 2009, to 899 in Christmas 2010.

The program is a combined effort by all cities in the county and Northern Kentucky University, he said.

“All the cities host their own sites for the residents to drop-off trees during an allotted time of the year and then give to NKU for composting and use in the landscaping around campus,” Plummer said.

fall 2011 cleanup, Plummer said.

Metal recycling was zero this year at the spring cleanup, he said.

“I think it’s pretty apparent that more people are aware of the economic situation nowadays and more people are obviously scrapping,” Plummer said.

Paper shredding

The April 28 shred event was in its fourth year and was in the parking lot of the Disabled American Veterans in Cold Spring because it outgrew the parking lot of the Cold Spring Branch of the Campbell County Public Library, he said.

The 2012 shred day collected 15,310 pounds of paper, more than 1.5 tons more than the previous year, he said.

county’s emergency management office.

The county filled 44 Dumpsters between March and June and used $18,179 of the grant, Plummer said.

Trash for Cash

The county has had five groups participating in this year’s Trash for Cash program. They have cleaned more than 50 miles of roadsides, he said.

There is still room for application for this year’s program, Plummer said.

“This is a fundraiser for nonprofits funded solely from the litter abatement grant that we get from the state of Kentucky,” he said.

Spring cleanup

Campbell County’s spring cleanup was March 23-26.

“We are a connoisseur of boat disposal and other large items like water heaters and pretty much anything large,” he said.

This spring there was an increase of general litter and debris, gathering 197.63 tons compared to the 172.25 tons gathered in the

Ohio River banks at Pendery Park in Melbourne June 16, he said. The annual event is sponsored by ORSANCO (the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission), and it was the county’s third year participating, Plummer said.

The 30 volunteers collected 940 pounds, he said.

“Which was a little bit lower than we anticipated, however the river was not very high in the couple of months preceding that, and that could explain the lack of garbage that we had” Plummer said.

Next year more locations will be scouted to possibly organize some more volunteer teams to help clean-up the Ohio River, he said.

Hanson’s email.

The park survey asks people how often, if ever, they use attractions including a Frisbee golf course, campsites, picnic shelters, playgrounds, walking and biking trails, the environmental education center, the lake for boating or fishing, horse trails, and fields for baseball, softball and soccer, and courts for basketball, tennis and sand volleyball.

Summerfair accepting applications

Low-cost vaccine available for whooping cough Community Recorder Northern Kentucky’s outbreak of whooping cough, also known as pertussis, continues to spread this summer, with more than 61 cases reported.

Vaccination is one way residents can protect themselves and infants they may come in contact with the disease, and the health department has the vaccine available for $4 at its county health centers.

Vaccine protection fades over time, so anyone who plans to be around infants should be vaccinated with the Tdap booster shot, which will provide renewed protection against whooping cough.

The Tdap booster is available by appointment at the following health department’s county health centers: » Boone County Health Center, 7505 Burlington Pike, Florence; 859-3632060 » Campbell County Health Center, 1098 Monmouth St., Newport; 859431-1704 » Grant County Health Center, 234 Barnes Road, Williamstown; 859-8245074 » Kenton County Health Center, 2002 Madison Ave., Covington; 859-431-3345 Parents of young children should also make sure that their child has been vaccinated for whooping cough, typically given in a combination shot called DTaP, which includes vaccine for tetanus and diphtheria as well. The vaccine is usually given in five doses, with the doses at two months, four months, six

months, 15 to 18 months and 4 to 6 years of age.

Most doctors’ offices and many pharmacies offer the vaccine as well.

Families of infants born at St. Elizabeth can also get the vaccine after delivery through the hospital.

Since January, 61 cases of whooping cough have been reported in Northern Kentucky. In comparison, the region averaged 25 cases of whooping cough per year between 2003 and 2009. During an outbreak in 2010, 127 cases were reported. Of the cases reported thus far in 2012, eight were in children 1 year of age or under, who are at higher risk for serious complications from the disease.

The early symptoms of whooping cough include: runny nose, sneezing, lowgrade fever and a mild cough. After a week or two, a persistent cough develops which occurs in explosive bursts, sometimes ending with a high-pitched whoop and vomiting.

Individuals who have a cough lasting more than two weeks and/or one that progressively gets worse are advised to contact their health care provider.

The health department is working with local doctors’ offices and child care centers to provide information about whooping cough transmission and prevention. Doctors have been reminded to consider whooping cough as a possible diagnosis.

MINEOLA PIKE

Summerfair Cincinnati, the nonprofit arts organization supporting local artists and small to mid-sized arts organizations through the annual fair, has announced that applications are now available for the 2012 Aid to Individual Artists (AIA) Award Program.

Selected visual artists will each receive an award of $3,000 for use in the creation of new works. In addition to receiving the award, Summerfair Cincinnati may sponsor a future exhibition and catalog to help promote the award recipients and their art.

To qualify for the award, artists must reside within a 40-mile radius of Cincinnati and be at least 18 years of age. Applications are available online at www.summerfair.org, and must be postmarked by Saturday, Aug. 25, to be eligible.

“The Tristate is home to some incredibly talented artists,” said Sharon Strubbe, executive director of Summerfair Cincinnati. “The AIA Award Program is an opportunity to recognize local artists, while providing support that is imperative to their work. We’re very proud to offer this program, and always look forward to the submissions we receive each year.”

To apply, eligible applicants – practicing artists, fine craftsmen and art

school students (in a degree-granting program with a faculty sponsor) – need to submit both CDROM and printed applications. Each application should include artwork images, resume of education and professional achievements, full contact information, and answers to application questions. Complete instructions for applying can be found at www.summerfair.org.

Awards are granted based on the artistic excellence of the work submitted for review. Judges, brought in from outside the greater Cincinnati area look for innovation in style and concept as well as the relationship of the works submitted to current standards in the field. Projects are purposely left flexible to respond to artists’ ideas, dreams and needs; however, the goal of the program is to aid the artists’ career development.

Since the AIA program’s initiation in 1983, the organization has awarded grants to more than 80 artists. Distinguished AIA alumni include ceramics artist Terri Kern, installation artist Anthony Luensman, abstract painter Frank Herrmann, photographer Brad Austin Smith and printmaker Thom Shaw.

Summer programs encourage love of reading

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

The Fort Thomas Independent Schools offer a lot to keep students busy throughout their summer break.

Through the district’s Summer Enrichment Program, students of all ages can attend weekly programs covering everything from math and science to chess and digital art.

A reoccurring theme in several programs offered throughout the summer is reading.

In camps like Splash into Reading, Fun with Reading and Amazing Authors, students get a chance to practice the reading

skills they’re learned throughout the school year.

Kindergarten teacher Karma Klingenberg helps run some of the summer programs including Amazing Authors, where students read books by well-known children’s authors, then make a craft or a snack that goes along with that book.

“Reading is so important, we try to come up with ways to make it fun and encourage kids to keep reading over the summer,” Klingenberg said. “When you make reading fun, it instills a love of reading.”

Klingenberg said along with the programs offered through the district, outside organizations

like the Campbell County Public Library also offer summer reading programs that encourage students to read throughout the summer.

“By working together, we are able to reach more students and get more students reading,” Klingenberg said.

Keith Faust, principal at Woodfill Elementary School, said the programs offered in the district’s Summer Enrichment Program are very beneficial for students.

“Having students exposed to summer enrichment programs is a great opportunity for them to reinforce the skills they have been taught throughout the year,” Faust said.

SCHOOL NOTES Local educators setting standards

ALEXANDRIA — The state has selected two Campbell County Schools educators to help set performance standards for Kentucky schools in Lexington Aug. 28-31.

The Kentucky Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability selected the local educators to serve on the “K-Prep On Demand Writing” standard setting team, according to a news release from the school district.

The Campbell County educators selected were Amy Fry, a seventh grade language and arts teacher at Campbell County Middle School, and Shannon Mann, a staff developer at Crossroads Elementary School.

They will work to set content performance standards (nov-

ice, apprentice, proficient, distinguished) and will write performance level descriptors, according to the news release.

“We were very proud to have our district chosen to nominate educators to serve on this team,” said associate superintendent Shelli Wilson. “The educators of Campbell County have certainly made name for themselves as leading the way toward academic success for all students. We are very excited to have Ms. Fry and Ms. Mann serve in this capacity.”

Alternative program gives free car washes

ALEXANDRIA — Students and staff from the Campbell County Schools alternative school will be giving free car washes Monday, Aug. 6.

The car wash is being hosted

to show support for the Campbell County Day Treatment Program. The car wash will be in the parking lot of Campbell County Middle School in Alexandria from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Crossroads starting healthy tastings

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

COLD SPRING — Crossroads Elementary School in Cold Spring is looking to create some super food tasters this fall.

Whether it is avocado or squash, students will have the options to taste tests healthy foods they might not have encountered through a new taste-testing program.

The school is funding the tastetestings from a $2,000 grant awarded by the Wal-Mart Foundation through the Action for Healthy Kids School Grants for Healthy Kids Program.

The goal of the grant is “to provide students access to healthy foods through taste-testing, nutri-

tion education lessons and food curriculum enhancements,” according to a news release from Campbell County Schools.

The grant covers the 2012-13’ school year.

“We are so thrilled to provide this opportunity for our students,” said Crossroads principal Kim Visse. “We plan to offer taste testing at lunch and breakfast in order to give our students the opportunity to sample foods they wouldn’t ordinarily try.”

The school will connect the program to the education curriculum by having students collect data examining trends based on survey results, Visse said.

“The foods that come out on top will be added to our lunch menu,” she said.

Smith hammers out transition

Senior moves from forward to center-mid at NKU

By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — The 2012 season isn’t only a transition for Northern Kentucky University, but also for senior soccer player Sarah Smith.

After spending her first three years as a forward, the former Batavia Lady Bulldog will move to center-midfielder this season.

“In high school I always played forward,” Smith said, “but for my club team I always played center-mid. We play a different style now than when I came in; it’s fast up top now. I focus more on foot skills and going back to center-mid is better for me. I didn’t mesh really well with the speed; I’m more of a tactical player.”

The move to Division I doesn’t scare Smith. It is actually a dream come true for the senior.

“I think it’s a different mindset,” she said about playing Division I. “In high school I always wanted to play Division I, but with my major, it just didn’t work

that way. I think it’s a great time to start and make a good impression. It’s still just playing soccer, but it gives people an extra push to play even better.”

With camp beginning in less than two weeks, Smith and her teammates have started running and doing open field exercises to prepare.

“I think it’s really important (to do well this season),” she said.

“Everybody will look back on the first year (in Division I), and we will set the tone for the rest of NKU’s career. It’s extremely im-

Batavia High School graduate and Northern Kentucky senior, Sarah Smith, makes a pass during a game in the 2011 season. Smith is making the move from forward to center-midfielder for her senior season and NKU’s first season playing at the Division I level.

EDITORIALS | LETTERS | COLUMNS | CH@TROOM

Tax increase and the South Branch The people in southern Campbell County deserve a library. In November, voters will have their say on extending library service to southern Campbell County.

The Library Board purchased land for the branch in 2007. It’s a great piece of property with its front yard on the new corridor of the expanded US 27. Its service radius includes five schools and 14,000 people.

That’s the bulk of the people who live in southern Campbell.

The library has embarked on a capital campaign to raise funds for the building. We’ve been meeting with potential donors, putting together a committee to speak with other donors, planning fundraising events, and designing publicity materials.

We’ve also worked energetically to try to get the best use out of the proposed building. We know from our present buildings that meeting space for library programs and groups outside of the library is important. There were nearly 2000 meetings in our rooms last year. Some were large groups, some were tutors meeting with students, and some were study groups.

They all found what they needed at the library.

With that in mind, the proposed branch has more meeting space than any of the existing libraries. There are two large meeting rooms, one of which can be divided into two spaces. There’s a separate children’s activity room, a small conference room, a quiet reading area, and a small study room. We also hope to have outside reading areas for both adults and kids. We know from experience that all of it will be well used.

The library has partnered with the Campbell County Historical Society. Currently they operate out of the old jail building adjacent to the Alexandria Courthouse. Their space is cramped into two floors that are not handicap accessible. It’s a difficulty for

both their users and their volunteers. At the new facility, there’s ample room for their collection of JC Morgan materials and artifacts with COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST full accessiCOLUMNIST bility.

The library has done its best to maximize the potential uses and minimize the public cost.

For the owner of a $100,000 piece of property, the proposed tax increase is a difference of $20 per year. That’s $20 that will build, staff, and operate a new library that will be a community resource for many years to come.

We are grateful for everyone’s use and appreciation of library services. We hope that the voters will decide to give the people of southern Campbell better access to those same services as well.

JC Morgan has been director of the Campbell County Public Library since 2003. The library currently has three locations, in Newport, Fort Thomas and Cold Spring.

A fresh start for moms and babies

A woman’s body does a lot to prepare for the birth of a baby. It provides nutrition, room to grow and gets ready for breastfeeding after the birth.

What a woman’s body can’t do is protect the baby from smoke.

We know that almost one-third of Kentucky women of child bearing age are smokers. We also know that more than half of pregnancies are unplanned.

So, in many cases, as her body changes in early pregnancy, a woman is faced with the task of quitting smoking. Add that to the rush of hormones and morning sickness, it’s not surprising that more than half of expectant moms who smoke are unable to quit. Further, nicotine replacement therapies, like the patch and gum, are not approved for use during pregnancy.

Yet, quitting is important for both mom and baby’s health.

Mothers who smoke are more likely to have ectopic pregnancies, inter-uterine growth restriction and go into labor early.

Infants who have been exposed to smoke are more likely to have low birth weight, are at higher risk for sudden infant death

syndrome (SIDS) and more likely to have respiratory problems.

If an expectant mom can quit smoking, Lynne Saddler the outcomes improve dramatCOMMUNITY ically. But she’ll RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST need some help.

Here’s what all can do to break down the barriers to quitting: » Don’t judge. Most pregnant women know that smoking isn’t good for them and the baby, but they haven’t found the strength yet to quit.

Don’t add to the stigma. » If you smoke, offer to quit with the mom-to-be. Quitting attempts are extremely hard when those around you continue to smoke. Plus, exposure to secondhand smoke can be dangerous for pregnant women and babies both. » If you don’t smoke, support her in other ways. Talk to her when she’s struggling with a craving.

Spend time doing healthy activities in smoke-free environments. » Refer the mom-to-be to tobacco cessation programs. Get

her support from health care workers – doctors and nurses may be able to provide her with additional education and resources. The health department uses a program called “Make Yours a Fresh-Start Family.” The Kentucky Tobacco Quit Line (1-800-QUIT NOW) has a special track for callers who are pregnant. Lastly, the Cooper-Clayton Method to Stop Smoking, a support group, is open to pregnant women. Special sessions for moms-to-be can be held if there’s enough interest.

If you’ve ever dealt with an addiction, you know that quitting is not an easy task. For smoking, it can take someone seven to 11 tries to successfully quit. A momto-be has nine months to prepare – not enough time for all those quit attempts. To be successful, she’ll need lots of support, both from family and friends and from resources in the community. What will we do to help make sure that all newborns in Northern Kentucky have fresh start?

Dr. Lynne Saddler is district director of health for the Northern Kentucky Health Department.

What happens at the end of 2015?

As president of Vision 2015 I am frequently asked what happens after 2015?

Rest assured, Vision 2015 will not go away at the end of 2015.

Rather, the organization formed as a catalyst for growth and collaboration in Northern Kentucky will do what its predecessors have done, reinvent itself to meet the needs of the next decade.

Our plan for moving beyond 2015 will be determined by the community. We are confident that a new plan will be developed that builds on what Vision has accomplished and adapts to the changing needs of our region.

Many of the successes which occurred during the Vision 2015 era will continue to be successful and benefit Northern Kentucky for decades to come.

Those accomplishments include the creation of the Economic Competitiveness Working Group, which aligns the agendas of the organizations and institutions focused on job creation and retention. The group’s greatest success has been the creation and launch of UpTech, the regional business accelerator that is tied to Northern Kentucky University’s College of Informatics.

UpTech’s first eight companies were selected through a highly competitive process, and the com-

panies have moved into office space at Newport’s Riverfront Place office building. Each company is receiving $100,000 in investment Bill Scheyer capital to begin COMMUNITY building the next RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST wave of successful Northern Kentucky high-tech employers.

Another great success came about through attention to the No. 1 issue that drives the economic success of a community –developing an educated, qualified workforce to fill jobs. To that end, Vision was a driving force behind the creation of the Northern Kentucky Education Council. The council focuses on education attainment and ensuring youth are successful inside and outside of school, which increases our overall economic competitiveness.

Vision 2015 has had great success working with organizations that bring together a wide variety of constituents focused on a single set of goals. A great example is Green Umbrella, a nonprofit organization working to improve the economic vitality and quality of life in the region by maximizing the collective

impact of individuals and organizations dedicated to environmental sustainability.

In the area of Urban Renaissance – one of Vision’s focus areas – we have worked closely with the The Catalytic Development Funding Corp., which was established to invest and leverage funds in the Northern Kentucky urban core. The fund has met its goal of $10 million and will begin making investments later this year.

In the spirit of collaboration that is Vision 2015’s hallmark, we will continue working with Agenda 360 in Cincinnati and The United Way on the bold goals of improving the education, health and income of our region’s residents.

Vision 2015 partners, supporters, investors and staff remain committed to developing a new plan, one that builds on what Vision has accomplished through collaboration, focus, hard work and dedication.

The name may change, the goals may change, but rest assured Northern Kentucky will always have a vision.

Bill Scheyer is president of Vision 2015, Northern Kentucky’s 10-year strategic plan for growth.

Kentucky needs new approach to taxation

At a meeting of the Kentucky Tax Reform Commission hosted

by Northern Kentucky University, I shared my thoughts on the importance of tax reform in the Commonwealth.

I will told them, quite simply, we need tax reform and we need it now. We need a 21st century approach to taxation that is both fair and balances budget cuts with investments in strategic, targeted areas that can produce a return. I can’t find a single state that has cut its way to prosperity.

You’re the tax experts. However, what I’ve learned over the past 15 years is that Kentucky is in a battle for its future. That battle will be won or lost based on our capacity to recruit and retain the talent needed to drive innovation essential for econom-

ic growth.

Mark my words – over the next decade there will be some states that thrive and move forward while others James fall further and Votruba further behind.

COMMUNITY Tax policy RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST must contribute to our capacity to attract investment capital, new knowledge-based companies and the talent needed to drive them.

Let me give you an example from my own campus. Tuition increases over the past several years have done nothing more than replace state funding cuts.

This impacts both access and affordability. Our programs in such areas as health professions and informatics cannot produce graduates fast enough to meet regional demand. However, both programs will need to be capped without targeted investments that allow growth. This growth cannot happen without a tax policy that allows for investment.

In addition to an enlightened and strategic tax reform plan, we need to reassess some of our strategies for moving Kentucky forward. In 1997, Kentucky embarked on the most ambitious postsecondary reform initiative in the nation. It has been 15 years since that reform was passed. In that period, the world has changed a lot and we’ve learned a lot. I believe it

is time to revisit House Bill 1 with an eye toward more return on strategic investments and more accountability for outcomes.

I’ll leave you with this: education – from early childhood through college – is critically important if Kentucky hopes to compete. Investing in the full education continuum with clearly defined goals and accountability is an essential economic strategy. Across the education continuum, we are showing remarkable progress when compared to states against whom we compete. When I arrived in 1997, I heard one phrase over and over again when discussing national education rankings: “Thank god for Mississippi!” I don’t hear this

anymore. We are on the move and the data supports it. To reduce our education investments at a time when such significant momentum is being achieved is foolhardy and places our future at risk.

We need a progressive tax reform strategy that will immediately allow for investment in both talent production and the research required to drive innovation and commercialization.

Our future depends on it. Tax policy drives so many other dimensions of our Commonwealth. For every choice you consider, ask yourself, “Does this weaken or strengthen our capacity to compete?”

James Votruba is the president of Northern Kentucky University.

8 dragon boat festival

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — Powering past a legacy of breast cancer, paddles held by 18 women routinely break the still water of the A.J. Jolly Park’s lake in southern Campbell County in a refusal to yield their lives to the disease.

Using the force of their wills and their muscles, the crew members of the Northern Kentucky ThoroughBreasts dragon boat team have been racing for survivors since 2009. They practice at A.J. Jolly each Tuesday and Saturday.

The team has paddled in dragon boat competitions as distant as Windsor, Ontario, and on Sept. 8 will be part of their hometown race as A.J. Jolly Park hosts the third annual Kentucky Dragon Boat Festival.

Florence resident Lynne Clayton said she enjoys being part of the team for the physical exercise, being outdoors, and shared camaraderie and support.

“We try to laugh at most of the problems in our past, and provide support for people who

are struggling now,” Clayton said. “And it’s just a great bunch, and it’s a fun sport.”

Clayton said her breast cancer was discovered 17 years ago.

The cancer wasn’t as serious as some of her teammates’ because of early detection, she said. People need to get tested, Clayton said.

“Mine was caught very early on a mammogram right after I turned 40, and it was just routine,” she said.

Thorough-Breasts coach Priscilla Elgersma of Mount Washington said she has a true admiration for members of the team.

“I think they are true athletes,” Elgersma said. “They are beyond committed. I’m not even allowed to call off practice. It doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday; they want to be on the water. So, their commitment is what inspires me and makes it a true joy.”

Tamina White, 53, of Westwood, said she was diagnosed in 2008 and decided a hospital support group she attended wasn’t her style. Members of the drag-

on boat team give one another strength, White said.

“We’re strong, powerful women instead of feeling sorry for yourself,” she said.

Team member Lisa Sarno Shelton of West Price Hill, said she was hesitant to join the team three years ago because she steered clear of support groups and was “not athletic.” A love of water and curiosity brought her

to the team anyway, Shelton said.

“What I found was a sisterhood of women that could understand exactly what I went through, and it was an immediate bond,” she said. “And then we are all very competitive. We love to win, and we love to race, and then even if we don’t win we’re racing for a reason.”

Shelton said they always

pray for members of the team who are not doing well, and they dedicate races to them.

Pam Harper, 63, of Falmouth, said being on the team provides a positive role model for people learning they have breast cancer right now.

“Yes, you can survive it, and yes, you can be active and lead an active and healthy life,” Harper said.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

Fort Thomas friends enjoy fun in the sun

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

FORT THOMAS — Most days throughout the summer, best friends Adam Weyer and Will Griffith can be found soaking up the sun at the Fort Thomas Swim Club.

The two, jokingly referred to as “hooligan one” and “hooligan two” by some club employees, are inseparable at the pool.

Both Moyer Elementary School students, Weyer, a fifth-

grader, and Griffith, a fourth grader, have been friends for years, even since they met at their older sisters’ soccer game, Weyer said.

“We just really like hanging out together,” Griffith said. “We like the same things, and he’s just so much fun to play with.”

When the two aren’t competing to see who can get the best tan at the pool, they can often be found playing together throughout the area, from their sisters’ soccer games and local parks to

Mio’s Pizza, one of their new favorite places to visit together.

While the two are a year apart, they plan to remain friends through middle and high school.

“Will always comes with me no matter what I want to do and we always have fun,” Weyer said.

Even if they can’t see each other at school, for example when Weyer goes to middle school and Griffith is still at Moyer, Weyer said they still have after school, weekends, and of course, summers at the Fort Thomas Swim Club.

Pickle recipes for cucumber season

Traditional bread-and-butter pickles For Loveland reader Joan Manzo, who wanted to learn how to make an old-fashioned bread-andbutter pickle.

4 pounds cucumbers, cut into ¼-inch slices, unpeeled 2 pounds onions, thinly sliced 1 ⁄3 cup canning salt 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons mustard seed 2 teaspoons turmeric 2 teaspoons celery seed 1 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon peppercorns 3 cups vinegar, clear or cider

Combine cucumber and onions and layer with salt,

2 red bell peppers, chopped (optional)

Brine: Mix together: 2 tablespoons celery seed 3 cups sugar 1 ⁄3 cup salt 2 cups clear or cider vinegar

Pour brine over veggies. Let sit several hours on counter, stirring every once in a while. Store in refrigerator.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

The reader who sent Rita the recipe for these pickles remembers mixing them in a laundry tub. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. cover with ice cubes and let stand 1½ hours. Drain, rinse, drain again. Combine remaining ingredients in pan and bring to boil. Add cucumbers and onions and return to a boil. Pack hot pickles and liquid into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles.

Adjust two-piece caps if using canning jars. Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating. You don’t need to process these if you are storing in the refrigerator, but if you are going to store them in the pantry, it’s a good idea to do that by processing 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

Quick-and-easy washtub pickles For Marilyn and Lawrence. Donna Woods sent this recipe to me last year and it continues to be a much-requested one during cucumber season. She told me: “It has been a family favorite for over 30 years. I have many fond memories making this with my dad. We would mix it in a laundry tub.”

Donna said when you mix the ingredients together, it will look a bit dry at first, but as it sits the juices will come out.

They remind me a little of bread-and-butter pickles,

minus the turmeric. These are delicious with deli meat sandwiches. Donna’s original recipe called for a jar of drained pimentos, but I used red bell peppers and I also sliced the carrots instead of chopping them. I’ve also substituted cider for clear vinegar.

These are the only adaptations I made – no need to improve on perfection!

Pickles: Mix together: 3 quarts thinly sliced cucumbers 2 cups thinly sliced green peppers 2 cups thinly sliced onions 2 cups thinly sliced carrots

Sweet potatoes for baby: When choosing sweet potatoes for your baby, look for ones that are firm, with no bruises or cracks. Medium sized ones tend to have the best texture – large ones can sometimes be stringy.

Don’t store your sweet potatoes in the refrigerator. I think it ruins their flavor and can make them tough. Instead, keep them in a cool, dark place.

Removing corn from cob: Put the corn in the center hole of a Bundt or angel food pan. This anchors the corn so you can scrape the kernels off easily, and the kernels drop right into the pan.

Can you help?

Soy sauce sub for Ellen S. from Western Hills. “My sons are both allergic to soy and so many recipes call for soy sauce – including that delicious sounding beef pot roast with garlic and ginger.”

Dewey’s Pizza Greek salad dressing for Angela L. “I am interested in repli-

cating Dewey’s Greek salad dressing. Do you have any ideas? It is a red, I think sun-dried tomato base.”

Protecting seniors from scams Community Recorder

Local senior care experts are urging Butler, Warren and Northwestern Hamilton, Boone, Campbell and Kenton county families to be alert for scammers who may be targeting their senior loved ones with a variety of clever cons that could jeopardize not only their life savings, but their independence.

As a result, the nonprofit National Association of Triads and the local Home Instead Senior Care office have launched a public information program to educate families and seniors about how to protect themselves.

THANKS TO HEATHER

The Protect Seniors from FraudSM program, developed with the expert assistance of the Triads, provides family caregivers with a number of important tools at protectseniorsfromfraud.com. Included in the website’s various resources is a criminal target scale, which can help family caregivers assess how likely their senior is to be the potential target of a scam. A Senior Fraud Protection Kit also is available from the local franchise office.

According to experts, the top three crimes targeting seniors are identity theft, Medicaid/Medicare and medication fraud, and financial exploitation. The demographics of an aging population and the sophistication of scammers are adding up to big losses – both financially and emotionally – for older adults.

The annual financial loss by victims of elder financial abuse is estimated to be at least $2.9 billion, a 12 percent increase since 2008.

What makes con artists difficult to capture is the lack of reporting of this crime, experts said.

To obtain a free Senior Fraud Protection Kit, contact the local Home Instead Senior Care offices serving Boone, Campbell and Kenton, Butler, Warren and Northwestern Hamilton counties at 859-282-8682 or 513-701-3141.

Don’t let your trees be strangled Question: I have noticed several large dead or dying branches in some of the big maple trees around my house, and now even the pines are looking bad. Is this some kind of blight?

Answer: There are many factors that could be involved, including drought, excess water (last year) leading to root rot in low areas, diseases (like Verticillium Wilt of maples and tip blight of pines), insects and borers, construction damage (soil cuts, fills, or compaction), lightning injury, nutrient imbalance, planting too deep, rodent damage to the trunk, “mower blight” or string trimmer damage, wire or string wrapped around the trunk or branch, and girdling roots.

Tree roots normally grow outward in a radius from the trunk. However, when a lateral root intertwines with another main lateral root or encircles the trunk, a girdling root problem can occur. A girdling root wrapped around the main trunk, in

will be at least partially exposed at the soil surface, forming a rigid “noose” around the tree.

In other cases, careful digging near the trunk to a depth of 6 to 12 inches may be necessary to locate the problem root.

If container-grown plant material is root bound at transplanting, the roots may continue to spiral around within the planting hole. Girdling roots may also occur if nearby pavement, buildings, boulders, ledges or compacted soil prevent normal outward growth of roots, causing lateral roots to grow back across the main root system.

To remove a girdling root, sever both exposed ends of the root and pull it away or allow it to decay in the soil. If left, remove a couple of inches from the severed ends to prevent the cut ends from rejoining. Then, fertilize the tree and prune out dead wood.

Gradually, the tree canopy becomes less dense as leaf thinning occurs, followed by dying twigs and branches.

These symptoms may occur over the entire tree or on one side only (if the offending root is restricting growth only on one side of the tree). If the problem is not corrected, the tree (or the branches on one side) will eventually die.

To confirm a girdling root problem, carefully examine the base of the trunk. Normally, by the time a tree is 20 years old,

house for weeks while the mold remediation was done. “Everybody’s pointing fingers but nobody wants to take responsibility for it,” Howard says.

But what about that whole house inspection they got before buying?

Howard says they called the inspection company but it won’t call them back. I checked the inspection company’s brochure and found it does not display the symbol of the American Society of Home Inspectors. I always recommend you hire an ASHI-certified home inspector – especially in Ohio, where no license is required, so anybody can call themselves a home inspector. ASHI certification means the inspector has a certain amount of experience and must pass a series of tests.

Another problem is that the Howards got the name of the home inspector from their real estate agent. That’s not recommended because there’s a conflict of interest. The inspector can feel obligated not to reveal problems so the sale goes through and the inspector gets more referrals from that agent in the future.

No home inspector is going to guarantee they won’t miss something, but you’re better off using an ASHI-certified home inspector you pick yourself.

Do research before canning salsa

ways.

Some salsas are tomato based while others are fruit based. It might be a condiment for chips or meats. You’ll find it as an appetizer, as part of a main dish, and even with side dishes and desserts.

The sky is the limit on the number of salsa recipes.

Not all salsas can be safely home canned for long-term storage. Any home-canned salsas should use a well-researched and tested recipe designed for the home canner. Why? Because of the risk of botulism.

Salsas combine low acids foods like peppers and onions with more acidic foods like tomatoes.

Acid flavorings such as vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice are usually added. However, it is difficult to determine the proper acidity for home canning with recipes created at home.

If you have a favorite salsa and are interested in keeping it for later use, it can usually be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a year.

Salsa served at restaurants also might be of concern. According to research from the Centers for Disease Control, “nearly 1 out of every 25 restaurant-associated foodborne outbreaks with identified food sources between 1998 and 2008 can be traced back to contaminated salsa or guacamole, more than double the rate during the previous decade.”

Many of the outbreaks can be traced to improper handling of the salsa and improper storage times.

Be aware of the challenges of foodborne illness and salsa. When at home, make what you think you will use within a week or plan to freeze what is left.

The 2012 Kentucky Equine Survey moves into gear this month, as the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service prepares to send 15,000 surveys to horse owners across the commonwealth.

The University of Kentucky and the Kentucky Horse Council have partnered on this study, which is partially funded by a grant to the council from the Kentucky Agriculture Development Fund. Both the university and council are currently soliciting matching funds from the industry, which are required for a portion of the grant funds.

The purpose of the study, the first thorough one in 30 years, is to get an accurate inventory of all horses in the state by breed and use, and their economic impact of both direct farm impact and local community impact from shows, races and trail rides. Information relating to capital investments in the farm and farm equipment are

also requested so that the full economic impact of the horse industry can be assessed. Equine being inventoried include both those on farms owned by the horse owner, as well as those boarded at equine boarding and breeding facilities.

Details are being collected about the breeds of horses owned, their uses, and their estimated value.

Other economic questions such as the number and value of horses sold or purchased in 2011 are included. Approximate expenses for caring for the horses are also requested, including feed, bedding, health, supplies, farrier, insurance and boarding and training fees.

All farm names and individual names are confidential to the statistics service and will not be available to any state or federal agency, the university or council.

Results from the inventory survey are expected in December and full economic impact results will be available during the first quarter of 2013.

Colored pencil show in town through end of the month Community Recorder The Carnegie will host the Colored Pencil Society of America’s 20th annual International Exhibition through Aug. 30.

Featuring 122 color pencil works culled from more than 500 entries by juror Jamie Markle of F&W Media, this exhibition features more than $15,000 in awards including the Best of Show award and the CIPPY Trophy.

Throughout The Carne-

gie’s galleries, work from dozens of artists will explore the myriad expressive aspects of color pencil, highlighting its versatility and multifaceted uses.

Free hepatitis testing extended Community Recorder In response to a substantial increase in the number of Hepatitis C cases in the region and the response to the initial round of testing, the Northern Kentucky Health Department and Kentucky Department for Public Health will continue to offer free blood tests for Hepatitis C at the Health Department’s four

county health centers through September.

Since June, more than 250 people have already been tested for the contagious liver disease. Rates of Hepatitis C have increased by more than 80 percent in Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties, with 23 cases reported in 2010, 42 cases in 2011 and 18 so far in 2012.

In Northern Kentucky, about six out of 100,000 people are infected with Hepatitis C, a rate that is double that of Kentucky.

Astronomy is also a super-sneaky way to get those students on summer break to continue learning. I have a saying that always makes my friends and colleagues laugh: “Astronomy is the Cheez Whiz on the broccoli of science!” But it is true!

Math skills are sharpened through real-life problems and physics concepts are introduced in compelling, hands-on methods. History, geology and geography follow suit.

Need something to discuss around the breakfast table? The privatization of the space industry

is front page news. Feeling controversial? Just whisper the word “Pluto” in a group of amateur astronomers and stand back for what is sure to be a very spirited conversation.

Astronomy is also a romantic pursuit that can give mom and dad some “alone time.” Lovers have been gazing upward together since the beginning of time. There is nothing more romantic than cuddling underneath a telescope.

Want to get started?

Here are a few tips: » Don’t immediately buy a telescope. Familiarize yourself with the night sky by going to the

library and studying some basic astronomy books. » Dust off that pair of binoculars you have lying around. They can help you to see quite a bit. » Join an astronomy club and meet other people who share your enthusiasm. » In addition to classes and lectures many hold “Star Parties” which are gatherings where groups stargaze together. Visit www.astronomyfoundation.org for a listing.

You’ll find that the best way to enjoy a star party is to not set up a telescope of your own. Most of the fun lies in taking a peek through other people’s! » When you are ready to purchase a telescope, do your homework first and invest in quality. A cheap telescope will only set you up for disappointment. As a rule of thumb, be prepared to invest more than $200.

So, the next clear night, grab a blanket and gather the family together. Lie back, look up and learn!

‘I Support Veterans’ license plate available Community Recorder Gov. Steve Beshear announced July 12 that Kentuckians can show their support for veterans with newly available vehicle license plates.

“Kentuckians are proud of our veterans, and many will want to display that message of support in a visible way,” Beshear said.

The new plates – available even to those who are not veterans themselves – show support for veterans and also raise funds for veterans programs.

“The ‘I Support Veterans’ license plate will give an opportunity for all Kentuckians who wish to support veterans’ services to do so, and to show that support by putting this license plate on their vehicle,” said Rep. Tanya Pullin, who chairs the House Commit-

Kentucky has launched an “I Support Veterans” license plate. Part of the fee will support state veterans programs. PROVIDED tee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Safety.

“I was pleased to have sponsored the bill in the 2011SessionoftheKentuckyGeneral Assembly that created this special plate. It will

create additional revenue to be used by the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs to serve veterans in Kentucky.”

Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs Com-

missioner Ken Lucas, of Boone County, said the new license plates were designed in response to citizens’ interest in supporting veterans.

“Many people over the

FUN-DAY MONDAY AT MIO’S PIZZA

years have asked us for a license plate that expresses their support for veterans even though they themselves do not qualify for veterans’ license plates. We worked hard to come up with a design that would express that sentiment appropriately, and are grateful for the help and cooperation of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in making this plate a reality,” Lucas said.

“We are particularly indebted to Rep. Pullin and other legislators for shepherding this law through and ensuring that KDVA would receive a portion of the fee of each Support Veterans license plate purchased. Those funds will

enable us to keep programs that help veterans directly, including filing benefit claims, getting help finding jobs, maintaining their homes, and accessing other services,” Lucas added.

In addition to working with veterans to help them obtain the state and federal benefits they have earned, the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs also operates three veteran nursing homes in Wilmore, Hazard and Hanson, and veterans cemeteries in Hopkinsville, Radcliff, Williamstown and Greenup County.

Veterans’ benefits field representatives serve veterans locally in 17 field offices throughout the state.
