Fee funds 911 center By Chris Mayhew

BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Highlands grad brings cabaret to Fort Thomas By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

FORT THOMAS — For a night, Max Colvill brought his own version of a New York City cabaret night back to his hometown. Colvill, 18, and 15 other drama students in either college or high school, sang 22 different Broadway songs live

at Fort Thomas Coffee Aug. 7. Colvill is preparing to begin theater classes at Columbia College in Chicago after spending his freshman year studying without a major at Pace University in New York City. A 2012 graduate of Highlands High School, Colvill said he wanted to bring to Fot Thoman experiences he had in New York.

“There’s a lot of stuff that happens in New York around cabarets,” he said. “There’s always shows at popular cabaret places like Joe’s Pub and like 54 Below and all these places around New York.” The singers for the Aug. 7 Fort Thomas cabaret included fellow drama See CABARET, Page A2

NEWPORT — Campbell County 911 dispatchers – who serve as a constant link for the public to police and firefighters – have been thrown a funding lifeline. County Fiscal Court approved a new $45 annual fee for property owners Aug. 7 as a replacement for the $3 per month fee on landline telephones. The fees fund the operations of the Campbell County Consolidated Dispatch Center in the basement of the Newport City Building. There a staff of 22 people work four rotating 12-hour shifts with five dispatchers working at all times. A call to 911 is not social, and dispatchers ask “where is your emergency” and for a call back number first because not all wireless or over the Internet phones provide caller ID or precise locations, said Dale Edmondson, executive director of the center. More than 44,000 landline calls and 150,000 wireless phone calls are answered each year, and that number increases annually, Edmondson said. The center’s 2012-13 operating budget was about $1.89 million, and the primary revenue source has been landline fees, he said. The number of landlines in the county has decreased every year since the center opened in 2002 – there are now about 18,000 landlines in the county and about41,000 residences. Landline revenues fell from $1.68 million in 2010 to $1.56 million in 2011to $1.49 million in 2012, Edmondson said. Campbell County Fiscal Court has been supplementing the 911 center’s budget with money each year. This year’s contribu-

Campbell clerk digitizing voter registrations By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

NEWPORT — Voter registration records in Campbell County will be kept digitally by the Campbell County Clerk by the end of the summer. Voter registration cards will be kept at the clerk’s office, as well as electronic images of the cards for the office’s searchable computer system. New voter registration cards are already being scanned using a computer system now in place, said Jennifer McGrath, elections supervisor in the clerk’s office. The scanning of older voter registration cards will happen in August, McGrath said. The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives is paying for the digitization with a $22,000 grant, said County Clerk Jack Snodgrass. The most important benefit will be security. Paper registration cards will be kept in a separate location in case of

fire or in case they are needed, Snodgrass said. Certifying petitions more quickly and making sure people who signed are registered voters in the county is another advantage, he said. Snodgrass said the clerk’s staff will now be able to search by last name or Social Security number, and pull up information on the card and an image of the face of the actual registration with the signature. “We used to have to go through every one of those cards and check them by hand,” he said. There are approximately 67,000 registered voters in the county, and the clerks office will be scanning about 98,000 current and old voter registration cards, Snodgrass said. The digitization will allow for faster updates for people who have moved, changed parties or changed their marital status, he said. In the 2012 presidential primary, a lot of people claimed they were regis-

tered to vote as a Republican, Snodgrass said. “They had no idea that they weren’t registered as a Republican, and that they were really registered as a Democrat,” he said. “They had never changed their card. Some of them went back 20 years.” The new computer system will allow the clerk’s office to look up party registration without looking at cards by hand, Snodgrass said. The average person will not notice any changes, he said. “We’re going to scan every single card and keep it in the system,” Snodgrass said. “Then we’re going to keep the most prominent last two cards in the office and the rest of them are going to be stored away in the warehouse.” Snodgrass, who previously announced his retirement, said he plans to stay through the May 2014 primary. He plans to retire no later than Aug. 5, 2014. Snodgrass said voter cards will be digitized before he retires. Vol. 17 No. 29 © 2013 The Community Recorder ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

cal.” Holly Moss, 17, of Taylor Mill, a senior at Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood, was among a group of friends to snag an empty table before a standing room only crowd lined the coffee shop’s walls. Moss said it was her final chance to see her friend Aaron Schilling of Fort Wright perform a song before he leaves for college. Moss said Schilling was performing “Proud of you boy” from “Aladdin” with Sean Fanning, another friend. They are all participants in the Commonwealth Artists Summer Theatre in Fort Thomas. Olivia Ulmer, 16, of Fort Thomas, came to the cabaret night with friends to see a friend. “I’m really exited to see Hannah Laskey and Carly Weaver,” Ulmer said. “They’re doing ‘Take Me or Leave Me from Rent.’ They’re going to be really great.” Rachel Zimmerman, 14, of Fort Thomas, sang the first song at the caba-

ret night – “The Wizard and I” from “Wicked.” “It’s just like a great time for a bunch of amazing singers to come together and perform,” Zimmerman said of the cabaret night. Fort Thomas Coffee is celebrating its one year

anniversary in August, and has hosted art openings, musicians and performances by former residents, said David Valentine, who owns the shop with his wife Lori. “The reason why we really created this space was for coffee and cre-

ativity,” David Valentine said. The business was meant to be a space for the community, he said. “So, when someone like Max comes along it’s like a no-brainer,” he said. “We’re going to have him in here to do a show.”

Fee

jected reserve amount is contingent on the center receiving a $104,000 Kentucky Office of Homeland Security grant not yet approved for improved police hand-held radio communications, Edmondson said. The dispatch center budget for the upcoming year does not reflect any potential cost increases, he said. “Even if the cost of nothing goes up, we are way beyond broke next year,” Edmondson said. Edmondson said he successfully requested city councils in the county raise the per month lan-

dline fee from $2 to $3 in 2005. Council members were told the fee would keep the 911 center financially solvent for five years, he said. “I’m very very proud to say that we made it work for eight years,” Edmondson said. The property tax 911 fee is the solution for now, but the best collection point is putting a fee on a utility because it is by far the fairest, he said. “This may be only a stopover funding mechanism,” Edmondson said. Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine said the new 911 fee will be on tax bills that are mailed out around the first of November. Essentially the revenue from the $45 property tax fee will be used to operate the 911 center in 2014, he said. “We’re getting the revenue up front in order to fund this service into the next year,” Horine said. The county is recommending cities repeal, effective Dec. 31, the $3-perlandline fee assessed to pay for 911 services, he said. “The landline fees, that has always been a pay as you go thing,” he said. Since the tax bill only goes out once a year, it will cover the costs of the next 12 months, he said. The property tax 911 fee was designed to bring in an estimated $1.8 million, Horine said. The actual tax collected will be less than $1.8 million since a 50 percent discounts will be given to landlords in 2013 so they can adjust their rents, he said. Either way, the county will provide the $1.8 million in funding to the 911 center next year, Horine said.

Campbell schools cut $1M, raise taxes By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — Camp-

bell County Schools Board of Education, seeking to cover the loss of $1.7 million in federal and state revenue, has raised local property tax revenues by 4 percent after cutting the budget by almost $1 million. The board of education voted unanimously to raise the property tax rate to 59.2 cents per $100,000 of assessed property value at an Aug. 29 special meeting. The new rate for the 2013 tax bills going out in November will raise an estimated $730,000 more than the 2012 rate of 56.6 cents per $100 of assessed property value. Revenue from property taxes is projected to increase to $18.23 million. The concern is a reduction in local, state and federal revenues totaling $1.7 million will impede the district’s ability to keep promoting high academic achievement, add to technology and academic and athletic facilities, said Superintendent Glen Miller. The district already reduced expenditures by about $1 million this year, Miller said. “But any additional reductions could have a significant impact, a negative impact, on our progress and jeopardize the quality of our instructional programs in the future,” he said. A March 14 article in The Campbell County

TAX RATE HEARING ATTENDANCE Vicki Holloway of Alexandria was one of two people to speak at a public hearing about the tax rate. Both people asked for an explanation of why the 4 percent increase was needed, but did not say they were against or for the increase. Holloway said after the public hearing and meeting she wanted more “direct information or specifics” about how the 4 percent increase was going to be necessary to sustain the learning in the classroom and directly help students. Board chairwoman Janis Winbigler also met with Holloway to discuss the rate increase privately after the meeting.

Recorder detailed how the district eliminated 37 positions, but also created nine new positions in a restructuring of district support services. The cuts included eliminating 9.5 para-educator classroom positions, the district energy manager, two math interventionist positions and 10.5 schoolbased staff developer positions. Miller said the district’s success in the past year included obtaining a

national ranking for the first time. Campbell County High School was ranked among the top 2,000 public high schools in the 2013 America’s Best High Schools list compiled by Newsweek magazine and The Daily Beast website. Miller said the district has expanded advanced placement opportunities for students and an enhanced academic and athletic facilities all while maximizing the efficiency and effective-

Quality of life at the end of life.

ness of our operations. “Additionally, when our state assessment scores are released to the public in the next month by the Kentucky Department of Education we do expect similar results to be found in high performing school districts,” he said. Improving Advanced Placement scores and college and career readiness is a focus, Miller said. The district is enhancing instructional technologies by adding 3-D printing, aviation simulators and student iPads and work stations, he said. Miller presented the

board with a list of projects the tax increase will enable. Miller’s list included: enhancing instructional technologies by adding 3-D printing, aviation simulators and student iPads and work stations; enhance school safety; property acquisition; stadium security cameras; reinstall limited bus purchasing (two buses), and Johnson Control notification software to monitor heating and air conditioning. Board chairwoman Janis Winbigler said this year’s budget included $200,000 in federal sequestration cuts, and the

Phase II of NKU renovation underway Community Recorder

Students returning to Northern Kentucky University in August will get a pleasant surprise when they see the progress of Phase II of the renovation of the university’s central plaza. The project, scheduled to be completed in October, will transform the plaza area between NKU’s Fine Arts Center, Founders Hall, Steely Library and Landrum Academic Center, much like Phase I of the project transformed the other half of NKU’s central plaza last year. Old, deteriorated concrete will be removed and re-

placed with new paved pathways, beautiful gardens and many trees. Numerous niche seating areas are designed to facilitate communication, study and discussion in a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. A green roof planting area will be located next to Steely Library, above the university’s central receiving area, providing a quiet seating area overlooking lush greenery. An amphitheater will be constructed on the slope from the plaza-level entrance outside Corbett Theatre for outdoor theatrical performances, film screenings and other events. The renovation will also in-

clude granite benches flanked by ground-level fountains, providing a serene and interesting meeting space. A special area honoring veterans is also planned. “Each year, NKU becomes a more beautiful, relaxing campus,” said Ken Ramey, NKU vice president for administration and finance. “Our students reacted very positively to Phase I of the plaza renovation, and we’re confident that the reaction to Phase II will be even stronger.” Walking access to the buildings near the project will be available when classes begin in August.

Caldwell takes charge of Brossart cross country By James Weber

jweber@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — On many Sundays, Bishop Brossart High School senior Michael Caldwell will run several miles with friend Zac Holtkamp, a former Mustang standout and current runner at Northern Kentucky University. Caldwell has learned many a lesson from Holtkamp, and is using them to try to build a memorable senior year with the Mustangs. Caldwell started the 2013 cross country season by winning the Ryle Invitational Aug. 31 in Union. He ran the course in 15 minutes, 50.9 seconds, which he said was a personal best though he estimated the course wasn’t a full 5,000 meters. He ran 16:01 in a practice meet Aug. 24 in Centerville, Ohio. Brossart head coach Rob Braun said the 15:50.9 is a school record. “This one might be a little bit short, but I don’t know if it was 13 seconds short,” Caldwell said. “Two miles in, you start to feel the lead in your legs. You start tightening up, especially with how quick all the other guys are going. I just wanted to go out hard and hammer them from the start. I wanted to go out hard. I knew I would have enough, especially with my speed.” Caldwell is the senior leader for Brossart, who returns all five runners who scored in the state meet last year, and only lost one varsity runner overall. “He’s our senior, he’s our leader,” Braun said. “He has a different attitude about the season and he proved that in the summer training, and it showed today. It’s proof to the guys that if you work hard and put your mind to it, you can do anything.” Caldwell, who finished sixth in last year’s Class 1A state meet to help Brossart finish third, has embraced his role as a captain, thanks in large part to guidance from Holtkamp. “I’m used to having some-

body in front of me saying things,” Caldwell said. “He’s a good mentor to me and he set a pretty darn good example for me. I know what I have to do with these guys. He took me under his wing and I’ve got to do the same with these guys.” The Mustangs have been battling injuries and didn’t have all their top runners for the varsity race at Ryle, with several running in the junior varsity race as their first outing of the season. They have time to work into top form for the postseason. While the behemoth known as 11-time defending state champ St. Henry is always on the course trying to stay ahead of the Mustangs, Caldwell and his Brossart teammates are ready to give it their best shot. “The guys who aren’t in the top 10 put a good effort out there and that’s all you can ask for,” Caldwell said. “That’s what Brossart is about, giving it everything you got.” Like much of Northern Kentucky, the Mustangs will be at the Grant County meet Sept. 7 at Sherman Elementary, the same course as regionals. Then, after running at Mason County Sept. 14, Brossart will be in the Campbell County championships Sept. 17.

Campbell gets ready for business By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com

ALEXANDRIA — Few football teams in the state have started the season with more hype over their first three games than Campbell County has. After opening a new home stadium, the Camels face two defending state champions. As the team prepares for its second home game of the season, it is looking forward to a week of workmanlike preparation. The Camels gave the raucous home crowd plenty to cheer for in the home opener, shutting down Newport, 27-7, Aug. 23. The evening was the culmination of years of work and excitement that went into building the Campbell County High School Athletic Complex. “The environment was electric,” said Lickert. “Our board and administration did a great job with the dedication and making the opening a big deal. Our fans came out in amazing fashion to support our young men.” In both games so far, the defense has kept Campbell County in the game while the offense started slowly. Some nerves ac-

companied the opener, possibly due to the large crowd in the new 3,750-person capacity stadium. “Our players were probably a little more nervous than usual in the opener because there were so many people there,” said Lickert. “I felt we controlled the game from the start, but kept shooting ourselves in

the foot.” The defense kept the Camels close against Highlands, the winner of six straight state championships. It was a good early-season test for Campbell County, and it happened to come against Lickert’s alma mater. “Playing Highlands really See CAMELS, Page A7

Ponzer goal validates NKU offensive attack plan By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com

NCC junior Collin Walker was 26th at the Ryle Invitational Aug. 31. JAMES WEBER/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

NCC, Highlands run well at Ryle Newport Central Catholic finished eighth in the boys competition at the Ryle Invitational in cross country Aug. 31 to start the 2013 season. Collin Walker finished 26th for NewCath and Griffin Jordan 41st. Highlands finished third in the girls race. Molly Mearns was third and Chloe Gastright sixth. Highlands was second in boys with Ethan Shuley fifth and John Michael Griffith ninth.

It took until the 84th minute of the fourth game of the season, but the Norse are on the board. Northern Kentucky University’s women’s soccer team notched its first goal of the season Sept. 1 against Tennessee Tech. The goal, scored by Simon Kenton High School graduate Allison Ponzer, also gave the Norse their first victory of the season. “We’ve been working really hard all year just to get a goal and get our first win,” said Ponzer, a senior midfielder/forward. Ponzer netted the only goal of the match after receiving a pass from senior forward Megan

Frye. It was the first goal Ponzer scored since her sophomore season. As one of the senior leaders on the team, she felt that it was important to give the young squad a boost. “It is good for our girls to get a win and get some confidence,” said Ponzer. The Norse are off to a 1-2-1 start to 2013, after finishing the 2012 season 6-11. This is the program’s second season competing in the Atlantic Sun Conference at the Division I level. After missing on several chances in the first three matches of the season, the pressure began to mount. A lot of that pressure and anxiety was lifted when Ponzer’s ball found the back of the net. “It was a really great feeling,” said Ponzer. “Thank goodness — it

was about time!” The offense has been a major focal point early in the season for the Norse. The defense has been solid, allowing just four goals through the first four games of the year. Sophomore goalie Tanner Ruberg has held her own, posting two shutouts. If Ponzer’s goal breaks the seal and opens the offensive floodgates, the Norse could contend for a conference title. “We have been focused on our offensive attack all year,” said Ponzer. “I feel like now that we finally got that first goal, we’ll get a lot more opportunities and be able to finish.” The Norse travel to Morehead State on Sept. 6, and return home to host Canisius on Sunday, Sept. 8.

doesn’t have anything to do with it being my alma mater and everything to do with preparing our team for district play and the playoffs,” said Lickert. “They are a team that will exploit your weak-

nesses so that you can later turn them into your strengths.” The stadium should be hopping again Friday night, Sept. 6. The Camels welcome the defending Class 2A state champions, Newport Central Catholic. Without the stadiumopening fanfare, this is the first home game of the year that should feel like

just another football game. “There are a lot less of the extra pre-game activities going on this week so we will be able to get into more of a home game routine,” said head coach Stephen Lickert. “But, we are playing NewCath so it will be an exciting atmosphere and a packed house again.”

Freedom Trail

» The Florence Freedom announced third baseman Jacob Tanis has been named as the Frontier League’s Most Valuable Player. Tanis, 24, was elected the Morgan Burk Award winner as the MVP by managers, coaches, general managers and members of the league’s media. Through 91 games this season, the Peachtree, Ga., native is fourth in the league with 17 home runs, and leads the league with 72 RBIs. “We’re so excited to honor Jacob as the MVP,” Freedom manager Fran Riordan said. “He has been such a productive player for us both offen-

sively and defensively. He’s a great teammate and one of the most professional young men I’ve ever had the privilege to manage.” The Freedom are trying to make it back-toback seasons with a postseason run. In 2012, the Freedom were league runners-up to the Southern Illinois Miners as the team fell 3-1 in the championship series. Should Tanis and the Freedom clinch another playoff berth, the most likely scenario for the team to play its first home game would be at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, at University of Cincinnati Medical Center Stadium.

Curbing ‘secondhand’ health costs

People should stop smoking. I’ve been hearing it since the 1960s when I cajoled my father into quitting. I was 6 years old – at which time he probably realized I was just enough of a pain in the backside to someday become a lawyer. How do we get others to quit? GovernRob Hudson ment probably can’t COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST stop all the COLUMNIST nicotine addictions out there. Can we at least agree that government should not promote smoking or offer special financial benefits to smokers? Here’s how our government promotes smoking. Kentucky and many other states have “civil rights” laws which require employers to hire smokers. Is a smoker like a modern day Rosa Parks? Don’t get hot around the collar about me comparing Ms. Parks, a true civil rights hero, with smokers. I

didn’t write these smoking laws. I think the smoking laws wrongfully restrict the liberty interests of business owners and encourage smoking. Here’s how we offer government financial incentives to smokers. Government rules essentially require nonsmokers to pay for a portion of smoker health care costs, whether through Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance cost sharing, at least to some degree. By requiring us to financially subsidize smoking, the government has restricted the liberty interests of nonsmokers. I call smoker health subsidies “secondhand” health care costs. If we don’t like smoking, why are we paying smokers to smoke? A government which shields citizens from the consequences of bad behavior shouldn’t be surprised when the behavior continues. If we are, as some say, living in a “nanny state,” our nanny is being spread way too thin. I heard she was handing out cigarettes the other day. How about some free market-type

solutions? 1. Remove government rules which prohibit employers from preferring nonsmokers over smokers. This would take care of a big part of Kentucky’s problem. A catchy name for the bill would help. We could call it “Smokers Are Not Rosa Parks.” 2. Take all government rules limiting premium costs for smokers off the books. Allow employers and insurers to charge whatever health insurance rates they wish to charge for smokers. The Affordable Care Act does some of this, but we could go further. We could call it “Smoke ‘Em If You Can Afford ‘Em.” 3. If you’re smoking ridiculously high-priced cigarettes, don’t expect us to be legally required to pay for your illnesses through Medicaid. Remove government requirements that we pay – rely on charities. We could call it “You Choose – Tobacco or Free Healthcare.” 4. We’ve got chain smokers with plenty of money and laws which essentially require non-smokers to pay for

their care. Medicare expenditures already far exceed an individual’s contributions to the system. Ease our government-mandated expenditures for smokers. This is a tough one, but they really need to quit. We could call it “Grandma, Don’t Blow Your Second Hand Healthcare Costs In My Face,” or “Grandpa, Don’t Cause Our Medicare Dollars To Go Up In Smoke.” 5. Enhance private initiatives on smoking cessation. Businesses across the commonwealth would be willing to contribute. The nonprofit could be called “Take Our Helping Hand Now, So You Won’t Lose Your Free or Reduced Cost Benefits Later.” By restoring our country’s building blocks of liberty and personal responsibility, we just might truly curb secondhand health care costs.

How are you feeling about the future? All of us know the phrase, “Survey says…” used by Steve Harvey (and Richard Dawson before him) in the popular TV game show, “Family Feud.” So, let’s play Family Feud today. This will be fun, and it’s all about us. And there will be only four questions. For our survey results we will be using the 2013 survey in which the National Council on Aging, UnitedHealthcare Ken Rechtin and USA ToCOMMUNITY day asked RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST 4,000 U.S. adults, including seniors ages 60 and older, their thoughts on aging. The first question: What percentage of seniors report never exercising? Survey says: Almost 1 in 5 (18 percent) say they never exercise. The United States of Aging Survey finds that while most seniors are not worried about the status of their health today, many are not investing in activities that could help them manage their health for the long term, such as setting personal health goals or exercising. More than half (51 percent) of seniors have not set any specific goals to manage their health in the past

year, and 65 percent of seniors report having at least two chronic health conditions, such as high blood pressure, arthritis and high cholesterol. Second question: What percentage of future seniors plan on using Social Security as their primary source of income? Survey says: Only 23 percent of adults age 18-59 plan to rely primarily on Social Security. According to the survey, most seniors say they are comfortable with their current financial situation, yet a majority express concern about their long-term financial security: more than half (53 percent) of seniors are concerned about whether their savings and income will be sufficient to last the rest of their life. The survey also found generational differences when it comes to retirement. Nearly half (47 percent) of retired seniors currently have access to pensions, and among seniors that are not yet retired, 41 percent plan to rely on Social Security as their primary source of retirement income. The third question: What percentage of adults surveyed feel that their community is adequately prepared for the onslaught of seniors? Survey says: 41 percent of adults ages 18-59 do not believe that their community is

prepared. This year’s survey finds that both seniors and younger adults think the community they live in could do more to prepare for a booming senior population. Specifically, 26 percent say their community should invest in better public transportation and 23 percent say their city or town should invest more in affordable health care services and housing. The final question: Is

Northern Kentucky prepared for the onslaught of Boomers? Survey says: Oh, sorry, we haven’t done a survey. The survey above only surveyed parts of the country. But, Senior Services of Northern Kentucky believes that the results of the national survey provide interesting insights on seniors’ evolving needs and how we can work at the community level to help prepare America’s seniors to age successfully.

When was the last time? When was the last time you picked up your Bible? If it wasn’t today, (or yesterday, or the day before that) you’re not alone. Most of us bring our Bibles to church (maybe) and follow along with the sermon once or twice a week. But what about those of us that aren’t attending church on a regular basis? When are we picking up ours? Why are people choosing not to read what is still the No. 1 bestseller in America? For many of us the answers vary, but the top three are common to most of us: » The Bible isn’t relevant to my situation; it’s outdated. » It’s too hard to understand. » I don’t have time. But what about the issues we face every day? How are we Julie House coping with COMMUNITY the drug-adRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST dicted family member, the bills that are piling up, the spouse who won’t speak, the job we can’t find, and the kids who are growing up too fast? You don’t have to tell me, I know. I fall into the “been there, done that” category. We relax and unwind on the weekends (and sometimes during the week) to numb the pain. We shop until the stores are closed to forget the bills, and we eat the whole gallon of ice cream to cover up the loneliness. Yet, when the weekend is over, what are we left with? We’re left with a splitting headache, a new credit card bill, and an extra five pounds on the scale. As I said, “I’ve been there, done that.” If you’re looking for a new coping mechanism, might I share with you what that dusty book says about your situation: » “The Lord hears his people when they call out to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” (Psalm 34:17-18) » “In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. (Psalm 34:6) And if you’re wondering if these words can possibly benefit you, let me remind you what the Bible has to say about that. “All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” In other words, God does not lie, and he does not waste his breath. What he says is important, true and life-changing. So instead of happy hour tonight, how about you just hit the couch with a good book. (And save the headache for when you’re helping the kids with their homework.)

Easy lasagna, healthy homemade power bars

When my kids were young our lives were busy, but nowhere near how busy their lives are now that they’re grown with families of their own. The requests I’ve gotten this week tell me a lot of Rita you are in Heikenfeld the same RITA’S KITCHEN situation. Readers want easy main dishes (pasta being the most popular) and healthy snacks. So here are two of my favorites.

Sausage lasagna using uncooked noodles For Darren, a Western Hills reader who saw a sausage lasagna recipe in a magazine at the doctor’s office. He said: “It called for uncooked noodles. I didn’t want to tear the recipe out, but it looked so good.” Here’s one from my files. There are special “no-cook” lasagna noodles you can buy. Leftovers can be frozen and microwaved to reheat. 1 pound favorite sausage 26-32 oz. favorite pasta sauce 3 ⁄4 cup water 2 eggs, beaten lightly 11⁄2 pounds (24 oz.) cottage cheese 1 ⁄2 cup Parmesan 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each: garlic powder, dried basil and oregano 9 uncooked lasagna noodles 3 cups mozzarella

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook sausage. Drain. Stir in sauce and water. Simmer 10 minutes. Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan and seasonings. Spread 1⁄2 cup meat sauce into sprayed 13-inch by 9-inch pan. Layer with three noodles, a third of cheese mixture, meat sauce and mozzarella. Repeat twice. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover, bake 10 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand 15 minutes before

Rita’s sausage lasagna recipe features no-cook lasagna noodles.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

serving. Tip: Use a combo of beef and sausage, all beef or turkey sausage.

No-bake grain/gluten-free power bars Daughter-in-law Jess found this on the Joyful Abode site. This is a protein-packed bar for kids and adults alike. Great for packing into kids’ lunch boxes, too and I like the fact that they’re grain/ gluten free. I can never eat just one. I renamed the recipe to fit my slight adaptation. Check out Joyful site for step-bystep photos and my blog for more power bar recipes. 21⁄2 cups favorite nuts and seeds (I used mixed nuts, flax and hemp seeds) 1 cup dried fruit (I used dried Michigan cherries, chopped) 2 cups shredded coconut 1 ⁄4 cup coconut oil 1 ⁄2 cup honey (I used raw honey) 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt Cinnamon to taste

Roughly chop 1 cup of nuts and seeds. Place in bowl. Process remaining nuts and seeds in processor, or by hand, to make a finer chop. Add to bowl. Add fruit and coconut. Pour oil, honey, vanilla, salt and cinnamon in pan and, over low heat, cook until it boils gently, then pour over fruit mixture and blend. Pour into

sprayed 13-inch by 9-inch pan that has been lined with sprayed foil or parchment. Press mixture evenly into pan. Press real hard so mixture sticks together. Put plastic wrap on top to make pressing down easier. Cool completely and cut into bars. Can be frozen up to three months.

fit from diluted fruit juice (make sure it’s got 100 percent vitamin C). It’s easier to digest, will hydrate and provide energy. Use at least twice as much water as is recommended on label.

Saving tomato and other seeds: On my Abouteating YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/RecipeCook. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an

herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Cincinnati.Com/blogs. Email her at columns@communitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Don’t have coconut oil, which is a healthy oil? I believe a vegetable or olive oil will work, it just won’t have that extra element of flavor.

Tips from readers’ kitchens

From reader MaryAnn G. regarding the roasted tomatoes recipes: “I roasted several per your directions and raided my herb garden for basil, rosemary and oregano. After roasting I let them cool and removed the skin. After chopping them slightly, I tossed them (along with the delicious tomato broth) with some spinach tortellini and bacon. It made an amazing meal.”

WHAT’S ON YOUR GROCERY LIST?

BELLEVUE — Fairfield Avenue will be taken over by dogs ... and cats. At least that will be the case during the Shop Bellevue event 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6. The theme is Dog (& Cat) Days of Summer. “This is a super friendly event,” Jessica Miller, Bellevue Renaissance president, said. “It brings a lot of people who might not know about Bellevue out to our community.” Every first Friday, Bellevue Renaissance hosts Shop Bellevue, an event that features businesses along Fairfield Avenue. The shops and restaurants stay open late, and many offer open houses and specials relating to the evening’s theme. The Dog (& Cat) Days of Summer will also feature six blocks of petfriendly vendors. “We have everything related to pets,” Miller said. “There will be rescue groups featuring animals available for adoption, vendors with pet treats, pet beds and toys.” Miller said, as a pet lov-

er herself, she is very excited about this event. “It’s advantageous for Bellevue, but it’s also really important for people to understand that there are tons and tons of animals out there in shelters and rescues who need loving homes,” she said. “Also, hopefully this raises awareness of the magnitude of the animal population problem and the importance of spay and neutering.” Lori Wright, vice president for Save Our Shelter Dogs Rescue, has attended the pet-friendly Shop Bellevue for the last four years. She said it is good for both the city and animals.

Golfers will have a chance to take a swing at poverty at the 12th annual Master Pro Golf Outing Saturday, Sept. 7, at Lassing Pointe in Union, Ky. The event begins with lunch at12:30 p.m. at nearby Union Baptist Church prior to the 2 p.m. shotgun start. Proceeds from the day will benefit the work of Master Provisions and

Lifeline Ministries, Northern Kentucky nonprofit organizations who work as partners in hunger relief in the Tristate. The event can accommodate 112 golfers and foursomes can still sign up. There are also opportunities for “hope” sponsors to help fund event expenses. Golfers are asked to make a love offering as they register for the out-

“It gives us a chance to reach people who may not normally attend a ‘dog’ event,” she said. “We have had several inquiries on our dogs and have had some adopted because they met them at the event.” At the same time, she said it raises awareness of Bellevue. “I actually live in Lakeside Park and didn’t know that much about Bellevue until we attended the first event,” she said. “I love the atmosphere in this city. They have wonderful shops, great places to eat and everyone is friendly.”

SEPTEMBER 5, 2013 • CCF RECORDER • B5

It’s time to fertilize your lawn tion, but applying nitrogen at the wrong time or in heavy amounts may severely damage your lawn. A general recommendation is to apply one pound actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet for each application. This could be accomplished by applying three pounds of ammonium nitrate (34-0-0), or 2.2 pounds of urea (46-0-0), or 10 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Once your soil reaches a high level of phosphate and potash in the soil, you may not need to add more phosphate or potash for several years. When they are not need-

what your soil needs is to do a soil test. Take several random samples to a depth of Mike 2-4 inches, Klahr mix these HORTICULTURE in a buckCONCERNS et, air dry, and then bring in two cups of the soil mix for testing. Test the backyard separate from the front-yard samples. Although the soil test measures several important elements, it does not measure nitrogen. Turf growth is highly dependent on nitrogen fertiliza-

Question: What kind of fertilizer do I need for my lawn, and when should I apply it? I have clay soil. Answer: New lawns should be fertilized whenever they are seeded. Fall is the best time to fertilize established lawns. To maintain a quality lawn, you should apply fertilizer every year in order to maintain turf uniformity, good green color, and reduce weed problems. The best way to determine what type of fertilizer your lawn needs is to have the soil tested. This should be done immediately through your local county extension office (a free service in Northern Kentucky counties), since it takes about two weeks to get the results back, and you’ll need to be fertilizing soon. The soil analysis will provide an accurate recommendation for how much lime, phosphate, and potash your lawn needs. Many lawns in this area only need nitrogen, and most don’t require lime. Phosphorus or potassium levels in the soil are often adequate, but the only way to know

has much better late fall and early spring color if nitrogen is applied in the fall. By eliminating or minimizing spring fertilization you: (1) Prevent the heavy flush of growth that occurs with spring fertilization; (2) Reduce frequency of

Not a new start for Turfway starter Long-time assistant starter Larry McGlasson is now the starter at Turfway Park. McGlasson, 61, replaces Steve Peterman, who was Turfway’s starter for seven years before moving to Calder Race Course in Florida. McGlasson brings 27 years of experience on the starting gate to his new role, but his skill with horses reaches back decades earlier. He started by galloping horses on the family farm, Lakeview Farm in Hebron, Ky. For about 10 years, beginning in the mid-1970s, he trained racehorses, many

owned by his father, Galen. As starter, McGlasson is responsible to supervise the gate crew as they load horses into the starting gate before each race and, once satisfied that all horses are standing straight and facing forward, to spring the magnetic latches on the stalls to start the race. Before every race, he checks a database of comments from starters around the country, looking for reports of troublesome behavior by horses his crew will be handling. Managing 1,100-pound racehorses in the tight

confines of a gate stall requires teamwork, horse sense, and nerve. “I’ve always enjoyed the adrenaline of working on the gate, and I’ll miss that,” McGlasson said. “When a horse is fractious and you win – when he gets out safely – that’s really satisfying. It’s just something you have to like to do. “You also have to like and trust the people you work with. You never know when one of them will have to get you out of there. A horse might be striking out and throwing his head, and you’re loaded with him in that little cage. The guys on the crew have to click together. Safety depends on it.” During his years on the gate, McGlasson has endured kicks, broken ribs, a fractured sternum, and broken fingers. One horse he was handling reared in the gate, flipped, and

SUMMARY OF BOND ORDINANCE AND NOTICE OF INTENDED ENACTMENT OF BOND ORDINANCE The Campbell County Fiscal Court, at a meeting to be held on September 19, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. in the Fiscal Court Chambers, Campbell County Administration Building, 1098 Monmouth Street, Newport, Kentucky 41071, proposes to give second reading to, and enact, the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS, IN AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $9,105,000 (WHICH AMOUNT MAY BE DECREASED AS NECESSARY) TO REFUND IN ADVANCE OF MATURITY A PORTION OF THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF COUNTY OF CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY GENERAL OBLIGATION PUBLIC PROJECT BONDS, SERIES 2006, THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH WERE USED TO PERMANENTLY FINANCE THE ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF A DETENTION FACILITY AND RESTRICTED CUSTODY CENTER AND THE ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY; APPROVING THE FORM OF BONDS; AUTHORIZING DESIGNATED OFFICERS TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER THE BONDS; PROVIDING FOR THE PAYMENT AND SECURITY OF THE BONDS; CREATING A BOND PAYMENT FUND; AUTHORIZING AN ESCROW TRUST AGREEMENT; MAINTAINING THE HERETOFORE CREATED SINKING FUND; AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF THE BID OF THE BOND PURCHAS ER FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE BONDS; AND REPEALING INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES. This Ordinance sets forth general rules, regulations and conditions for the issuance of general obligation bonds by the County of Campbell, Kentucky (the "County") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $9,105,000 (the "Bonds") for the purpose of (i) refunding in advance of maturity a portion of the outstanding County of Campbell, Kentucky General Obligation Public Project Bonds, Series 2006 (the "Prior Bonds") and (ii) paying the costs of issuing the Bonds. Provisions are made for the authorization and issuance of the Bonds; for the application of the proceeds of the Bonds; for the establishment of a Bond Payment Fund and maintenance of the previously established Sinking Fund; and for certain covenants of the County with respect to the Bonds. The Bonds are to be sold at public, competitive sale, and shall mature, or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, in varying amounts in each of the years 2014 through 2025. The Bonds pledge the full faith and credit of the County and provision is made for the collection of a tax to pay the principal of, and interest on the Bonds, subject to certain credits, as provided in Section 7 of the ordinance. As required by KRS 83A.060, the following Section 7 of the Ordinance is set forth in its entirety: "Section 7 -- General Obligation; Maintenance of Sinking Fund. The Bonds shall be full general obligations of the County and, for the payment of said Bonds and the interest thereon, the full faith, credit and revenue of the County are hereby pledged for the prompt payment thereof. During the period the Bonds are outstanding, there shall be and there hereby is levied on all the taxable property in the County, in addition to all other taxes, without limitation as to rate, a direct tax annually in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when and as due, it being hereby found and determined that current tax rates are within all applicable limitations. Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of said years are certified, extended and collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof provided, however, that in each year to the extent that the other lawfully available funds of the County are available for the payment of the Bonds and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such direct tax upon all of the taxable property in the County shall be reduced by the amount of such other funds so available and appropriated. There has previously been established a sinking fund with the County in accordance with the requirements of the Act (the "Sinking Fund"), which is hereby ordered to be continued and maintained so long as any Bonds are outstanding. The funds derived from said tax levy hereby required or other lawfully available funds shall be placed in the Sinking Fund and, together with interest collected on the same, are irrevocably pledged for the payment of the interest on and principal of all bonds issued under the Act and Tax-Supported Leases, as defined in the Act, when and as the same fall due. Amounts shall be transferred from the Sinking Fund to the Bond Payment Fund at the times and in the amounts required by Section 6 hereof." Reference is hereby made to the full text of the Ordinance, a copy of which is on file at the offices of the Fiscal Court Clerk, for a complete statement of its provisions and terms. /s/ Paula Spicer, Fiscal Court Clerk, County of Campbell, Kentucky The undersigned Attorney at Law, licensed to practice in Kentucky, hereby certifies that the foregoing title summary of a proposed ordinance of the County of Campbell, Kentucky, was prepared by the undersigned and constitutes a general summary of essential provisions of said Ordinance, reference to the full text of which Ordinance is hereby made for a complete statement of its provisions and terms. /s/ Dirk M.

they pulled me out,” McGlasson recalled. “This is a ‘we’ process,” he said. “A starter’s only as good as the guys working with him. An assistant starter’s ability to understand a horse’s body language and react to it instantaneously is crucial to safety and a fair start. And the best riders have God’s gift of a sixth sense – they can anticipate when a horse is about to do something.” A fair start protects not only the horses, jockeys, and gate crew but also the investment of time and money by the horses’ owners and trainers and the wagering public. With so much riding on the split second the gate opens, the starter also works during training hours to certify that horses are able to stand quietly in the gate while the field is loaded and break cleanly when the

doors open. Until a horse earns its “gate card,” it is not allowed to race. McGlasson supervises schooling in the gate at Turfway Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. – about 30 horses per day on average. Although horses of any age may school on any given day, McGlasson especially noted the teamwork required to gate train young horses, who begin their lessons at the track as young as two years old. “I enjoy working with the babies, teaching them their manners,” he said. “You have to reward them when they’re good and let them know when they’re not. You have to be able to read the difference between fear and attitude. The horse will tell you when he’s ready for the next step. I’m very fortunate that the guys schooling horses with me this summer at Turfway had good teachers. I’m also fortunate to have a good relationship with the trainers. “I like the atmosphere here (during Turfway’s off-season),” he continued. “For babies, it’s quieter than a track during a live meet, and we can take the time we need.” When he’s not working with racehorses, McGlasson operates his family’s business, Northern Kentucky Lakeview Farm, a thriving truck farm now in its fourth generation. His wife, Maggy, is a veterinarian who specializes in dressage horses and owns Lipazzaners. The couple has 19-year-old twins, Michael and Molly.

Vent Haven presents Double Talk Event serves as fundraiser and outreach project By Melissa Stewart mstewart@nky.com

FORT MITCHELL — You see two personalities on the stage. You hear two voices. In ventriloquism, however, there’s really only one living being on the stage and they’re the only one talking. Yet, your eyes and ears are fooled, said ventriloquist Tom Ladshaw of Taylor Mill. “It’s also a bit of magic.

What you see is an illusion, but it’s not just visual, it’s an audio illusion,” he said. “The secret is that the ears are easily deceived.” Ladshaw, a member of the board of advisers of the Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, has been dabbling in the art of ventriloquism for 48 years. He started when only 5 years old. “Ventriloquism evokes in everyone a little bit of their childhood. It’s one of those things that’s just in our DNA,” Ladshaw said. “We respond to a puppet, an inanimate object that has life breathed into it.

DOUBLE TALK TICKETS Tickets for Double Talk cost $20 for adults; $10 for children under 12. For more information about Double Talk 2013 or to purchase tickets, visit www.ventshow.com or call 859-341-0461.

It’s like the classic tale ‘Pinocchio,’ we want that puppet to come to life.” According to Ladshaw, Vent Haven is focused on preserving and educating the public on these qualities of ventriloquism. The museum’s caretakers are reaching out to the community next month by hosting Double Talk 2013, a family-friendly show featuring ventriloquist Ronn Lucas. The show will be 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept.15, at the Notre Dame Academy Performing Arts Center, 1699 Hilton Drive, Park Hills. Lucas mixes stand-up comedy, improvisation and audience interaction with “astonishing” voice gymnastics, Ladshaw explained. He has appeared on and starred in national TV programs including The “Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “L.A. Law” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” “He is one of those guys that is capable of connecting with every member of the audience,” said Ladshaw, producer of Double Talk. “Whether you’re 5 years old seeing your first show or a senior

“Vent Haven is really a treasure, the only one of its kind in the world,” Sweasy said. The museum houses more than 700 figures, thousands of photographs and playbills, and a library of books, some of which date back to the 1700s. It all started with founder William Shakespeare better known as W.S. Berger. Berger was a collector of ventriloquist memorabilia. In 1973, his collection went public

citizen, you’ll enjoy his performance. He gets right to the heart of the art form – he goes for the funny bone and touches the heart.” The show will serve two purposes, according to Lisa Sweasy, another member of the museum’s board of directors. The event serves as a fundraiser for Vent Haven, as a way to promote the art of ventriloquism to locals and as a way to raise awareness of the museum.

with the opening of the museum. The museum, living up to its name, is a haven for ventriloquists around the world, especially during the annual international ConVENTion that gathers more than 400 ventriloquists. Between 900 and 1,200 people visit Vent Haven each year. However, “locally, not a lot of people come,” Sweasy said. She and Ladshaw are hoping this event, the second annual Double Talk, will change that. “There’s this feeling that just comes over you when you walk in the museum,” Ladshaw said. “I’ve been going for years and it still happens to me. The museum offers an intimate connection. You don’t just learn about the ventriloquist, their puppet, and their act, but who they were and what they were about.”
