Fort Thomas resident recruits for chamber Camp Carnegie
PROVIDED
Camp Carnegie participants, from left to right, Morgan Thompson of Cincinnati, Marissa Brunner of Fort Thomas, Abagail Clark of Cincinnati, Savannah Pinson of Fort Mitchell and Loghan Currin of Walton perform on stage at The Carnegie for friends and family. Camp Carnegie is a two-week summer program that gives children the chance to explore the world of theatre through live performance, hands-on art making, dramatic exercises, script writing and other activities, ending with a final live performance.
In an effort to spur growth for businesses and in-turn, the region, Fort Thomas resident Matthew Rich is one of 30 current members of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber who is engaging and recruiting local businesses to become members. The Katz, Teller, Brant & Hild employee is a supporter of the Cincinnati region and the impact a Chamber membership has on growth in the community, having experienced it first-hand with his own membership.
N o w through Oct. 31, Rich and his fellow volunteers will meet one-on-one with busiRich ness executives across the Cincinnati USA region to advocate the advantages of being a Chamber member. They will discuss a variety of ways companies can save money, network, learn, activate a government voice
and support fun events while also keeping the region strong. “Volunteering my time wasn’t a difficult decision as the Chamber is an excellent resource that benefits the entire community,” said Rich. “If more businesses take advantage of the programs and services the Chamber has to offer, Cincinnati’s economic climate will vastly improve.” Rich will volunteer his time on top of fulfilling his role as an attorney at Katz, Teller, Brant & Hild.

Property improvement lights up the Levee Newport on the Levee has taken a step toward becoming a “greener” property. New, energy-efficient fluorescent light bulb fixtures were installed over the past few months in the Levee’s parking garage. The project, managed by Becker Electric, has proven to be environmentally conscience by reducing the electrical demand in the area, while also “brightening” up the garage with a wider light distribution. The property’s previous high intensity discharge (HID) system 150 watt fixtures were replaced with three lamp linear fluorescents that consume 85 watts instead of 185 watts. The transition to the new fixtures will ultimately save 946,080 kWh of energy, which is the equivalent of 171 fewer cars on the road each year. Another advantage of using the fluorescent bulbs is that the lamps last three times longer than the HID system, burning 30,000 hours compared to the 10,000 hour lamp life of HID’s, which saves the staff from a time consuming and what might be considered an unsafe practice of constantly switching light bulbs. “Our new, eco-friendly parking garage lighting upgrade is not only looking out for the environment, but for our visitors too,” stated Harold Dull, General Manager of Newport on the Levee. “The brighter, more even distribution of light that the new fixtures produce makes the garage extra inviting for our guests.”

Higher premiums and changes in drug coverage are two reasons why Medicare participants may want to compare Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) this year. Many companies not only raise monthly premiums but often change which drugs they will cover for the upcoming year. Open enrollment this year has been moved up to October 15th thru December 7th. If you need assistance comparing plans the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) sponsored by Brighton Center is offering free counseling to Northern Kentucky residents For assistance contact SMP at 859-491-8303 ext. 2336.
