The Colonel has come home. A bust of KFC-founder Colonel Harland Sanders that was stolen from a Berea, Ky., restaurant in January was found at the home of an Independence man Wednesday March 24. Independence Police Sgt. Mike Thatcher said the department is not releasing the individual’s name at this time. An anonymous informant advised the Berea Police Department that the bust could be found in Independence. Two Independence officers went to the man’s home Wednesday and discovered the bust, Thatcher said. Berea Police Officer David Wagoner said the man will not be charged for the disappearnce of the 18inch or so bronze bust,

A bust of KFC founder Harlan Sanders, which was stolen from a Berea, Ky. restaurant in January, was found Wednesday at the home of an Independence man. The Independence Police Department discovered the bronze bust and returned it to the Berea Police Department. which had been taken as a “joke.” “We are not going to charge him because he was

willing to turn it over,” Wagoner said. “I spoke with him on the phone and he said he had taken it as a joke. He apologized to me and told me to apologize to the restaurant owner.” Wagoner said the individual was “very glad” to give it up and would have done so sooner but he was “afraid he was going to get in trouble.” The bust’s sentimental value made getting it back the most important thing, Wagoner said. “We got it back. It wasn’t damaged. That’s the main thing,” he said. Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant owner Jean Anderson bought the bronze bust 38 years ago from Sanders’ daughter. Only 300 were made, and Anderson paid $350 at the time for the statue. “I was so relieved that I about had a heart attack,” Anderson said. “I hugged

Employees told police that four young men were eating, and when they left, the statue was gone. The Colonel’s new home will be in the back, said Anderson, who won’t risk losing the Colonel again. “He used to be in the front,” she said with a laugh. “I was showing him off and somebody ripped him off.” The restaurant had offered a $500 reward in grilled chicken to whoever found the statue, but Anderson’s unsure how to repay the Independence Police Department. “We don’t know what to do at this point, but we got it back and we’re terribly grateful to the department up there and Berea,” she said.

Northern Kentucky Chamber president participates in trade mission to Dubai Steve Stevens, president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber, was part of a delegation of chamber of commerce executives representing communities throughout the United States visiting Dubai, U.A.E. The group traveled there to speak with business and governmental leaders about trade opportunities between the United States and Dubai. A highlight of the trip was for Stevens and other members of the delegation to meet with United Arab

Emirates Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai - His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. During the meeting, Sheikh Mohammed exchanged views with the delegation, discussed the current economic conditions in the region and around the world. Among the project sites and business developments visited during the trip were DP World - Dubai’s marine terminal Jebel Ali (Jafcza) and Free Zones, its health

care industry cluster Health Care City and the Dubai Financial Center. The group also visited with American-based businesses who have set up locations in Dubai. A roundtable exchange with the Directors General of the chambers of commerce from each of the United Arab Emarites also took place to discuss roles and functions of chambers of commerce within the region and across the U.S. “It was a great honor for us to be received for a meet-

ing in the palace with Sheikh Mohammed and his sons,” Stevens said. “We Kentuckians have a particular connection with His Highness because of his interest in horses. He is quite familiar with the Commonwealth since owns horse farms and races horses in our state.” During the visit, the Sheikh discussed the upcoming participation of he and his sons as competitors in the 2010 World Equestrian Games to take place in September 2010.

NKU receives Presidential Community Service award Northern Kentucky University has been named to the 2009 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service learning and civic engagement. One initiative that was a key to NKU being named to the Honor Roll was the university’s innovative Mayer-

son Student Philanthropy Project, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this academic year. “Our Mayerson classes are a marquee example of public engagement at a university that values public engagement as a way to give back to the community, but also as a teaching tool to enrich our classrooms,” said Mark Neikirk, director of NKU’s Scripps Howard

Center for Civic Engagement, where the Mayerson Project is housed. NKU’s range of public engagement outreach includes coordinated volunteer efforts; assistance with the volunteer-matching Web site NKYhelps.org; recruitment of students to be poll workers; co-sponsorship of the Northern Kentucky Forum to foster public dialogue around public poli-

cy; outreach and support to nonprofits through the Institute for Nonprofit Capacity; profiling of regional businesses growth drivers; regional technology entrepreneurial development; extensive work with the region’s P-12 community; and informative publications such as “NKU: Engaging with Our Region.” The Mayerson Student Philanthropy Program is a

partnership between NKU and the Manuel D. & Rhoda Mayerson Foundation of Cincinnati, and made $13,500 in grants to area nonprofits last fall. It is scheduled to make at least another $25,000 in grants when the current spring semester concludes. That will mean $477,000 has been distributed by NKU students through this innovative,

nationally recognized program. Since the program’s inception, 101 student philanthropy classes have been held at NKU. The classes incorporate the concept of teaching stewardship through a philanthropy experience across disciplines, with courses ranging from music to history, from elementary education to college writing.

Charity renews ‘Mission’ to offer help to community Mission’s pressing needs

cmayhew@nky.com

Hundreds of people are still being helped meet the necessities of life each month by the Alexandria area’s largest charity. But to reflect a greater role of different area supporting churches, the Caring And Reaching with Encouragement (CARE) Ministry became the CARE Mission in February. The Mission’s warehouse and offices are in a building next to Main Street Baptist Church. It’s open three days a week serving 14 Northern Kentucky counties to disperse food and clothing donations and work with families to connect them with other social services and programs including job training and placement. “Main Street was the founder and is still a major contributor, but the long-term goal is for this to be a community-based facility,” said Sandy Daunt, a volunteer and the director of the CARE Mission. Between groups of volunteers and other churches con-

The Mission is having an April 30 open house, inviting about 50 churches to send five mission-minded individuals to see some of the recent changes and how everything operates, she said. There are six new rooms where clients can meet with the volunteer staff in private, and a new kitchenette and bathroom area that’s been opened up inside. The bathroom is especially helpful for the New Hope Center, a pregnancy

Besides monetary donations, to keep up with the demand, the CARE Mission’s current biggest need is to get back to having a box truck to go pick up food for the center three times a week and office furniture for the new offices including filing cabinets and waiting room chairs in good condition, said Sandy Daunt, director. Currently the Mission uses an old van that is hard to unload and is prone to breaking down, Daunt said. “It’s a short term need, but we figure it will take a long time to get it,” she said.

The services offered have been extended recently in what types of assistance is offered, but the guidelines

have become stricter to help the people with the most urgent needs first as more and more people seek assistance, Daunt said. For example, the Mission is offering more prescription drug assistance, but it’s only awarded on a case-by-case basis, she said. Recently an elderly man was having difficulties affording his prescription medications, and there wasn’t enough money left to help him, Daunt said. Although help was eventually found for the man to get his prescriptions filled for the month through another charity, the incident impacted Daunt. “It just killed me to have to turn him away,” she said. Visitors to the Mission are limited to receiving help once every 30 days. Food and clothing are the major issues, Daunt said. Between 50 and 60 families come and receive assistance each Tuesday, it’s about 45 families each Thursday and about 20 families each Saturday. “The economy is forcing people to come in and ask for help that have never been

here before,” Daunt said. Now more than ever the people seeking assistance are grandmothers trying to make it on Social Security with custody of three small children, single mothers and single fathers, and people who are out of work, said Penny Clark, a volunteer since 2008 from Alexandria who works with clients in the office. “It’s very disheartening for them and very humbling

for us,” Clark said. Community groups including students from Campbell County High School already help with food drives and donations, Clark said. “We’re trying to use the Lords’ assets as best as possible,” she said. Clark said donations are always put to good use. “Money turns into food,” Clark said.

Since the early 1970s the Lane’s End Stakes, then called the Spiral Stakes, has been one Northern Kentucky’s most popular sporting events. Aided by sunshine and mid-50 degree weather, this year’s $500,000 Lane’s End Stakes once again proved to be the area’s biggest spring party as 21,327 attended the event. “We love Opening Day for the Reds and I love the Reds and the Bengals, but this is Northern Kentucky’s biggest sport’s day,” Turfway Park CEO and President Bob Elliston said. “The reason is, we get national television coverage through the USA Network and we get the entire horse racing world focused on Turfway Park in Florence.” An issue arose with the USA telecast, as the network lost its feed right before the Lane’s End Stakes. USA was able to pick up a feed from Turfway Park, which didn’t include the audio from track announcer Mike Battaglia. Nonetheless, for a brief moment, the track in Florence had the entire horse racing world’s attention.

The show

The Spiral Stakes began in 1972, the purse was only $10,000 and 7,730 showed up to the race, which was created to become a prep race for the Kentucky Derby. Not until 1976, when Inca Roca won the Spiral, did a horse from the race appear in the Derby. However, the race was gaining attention and the pre-race festivities grew to an unimaginable level. According to “The Tradition Continues: The Story of Old Latonia, Latonia and Turfway Racecourses” by James C. Claypool, a festival was started in light of the success of the pre-race festivities during Derby Week in Louisville. “The two-week festival featured a home tour, a dog show for “mutts,” a beauty pageant, a show featuring classic cars, a big band din-

ner dance, a fish fry, a 5kilometer run, a children’s art show, a golf tournament, a country auction and hoedown, the Call to Post Luncheon, the Spiral Ball, and on race day, a VIP tent party,” Claypool wrote. Today, the Call to Post Luncheon and VIP tent party still exist. The festival concept was dropped in 1992. On the day of this year’s race, the VIP tent was the place to be. For $175 a seat, fans enjoyed a grand buffet, premium open bar and live entertainment. The tent also featured a March Madness lounge where televisions and couches were available for those wanting to follow the NCAA Tournament. Fans in the tent also shopped at booths for custom Kentucky Derby hats, fur coats, jewelry and Lane’s End souvenirs.

The people

Inside the tent and in the grandstand, horse owners, politicians and local celebrities took in Turfway Park on the day of its big race. Some of the notable guests included Secretary of State Trey Grayson’s family, Vice Chairman of the board at Augusta National Joe Ford, Channel 9’s Clyde Gray and representatives from three of the four major Kentucky candidates for the U.S. Senate. “All the reserve seating is sold out and the weather brought a great walk-up crowd,” Elliston said. “There is a “who’s who” in the tent having fun. We have people as distinct as Vice Chairman of the board at Augusta National where The Masters is played … and we have folks out here just enjoying their cold Bud Lights, so everybody having fun.” One of the most famous visitors to the track may have been jockey Calvin Borel, who rode winners in the 2007 and 2009 Kentucky Derby. Borel won the Hansel Stakes aboard Cool Bullet earlier in the day and would ride one of the favorites, Northern Giant, in the Lane’s End Stakes.

Chris is the wife and Danielle is the daughter of Turfway Park announcer Mike Battaglia, who had to call the day’s races from the press box as well as provide analysis for the USA Network.

The race

When it was time for the main event everyone in attendance had a horse they were rooting for, however the highest stakes were for six local charities. The Saturday before the Lane’s End Stakes six charities gathered at the Turfway Park’s Charity Night at the Tables, the event raised approximately $38,000. After that money was raised, each charity picked a horse at the Call to Post Luncheon. Since it had won the most chips at the charity event, Boone County CASA had the first selection. The other five charities each followed with their selections. The organization whose horse finishes best receives $10,000, second place earns $6,000 and the other four receive $4,000. “It (the race) is extremely intense and exciting, everybody is jumping up an down,” Boone County CASA Director Colleen Bohman said. “I mean you want your horse to win, but last year I think the last person who picked their horse won. It is just exciting to watch. You hope your horse wins, but if not it is not a big deal.” This year, Bohman had the first selection and she picked the morning-line favorite Connemara. Her selection came in third. The $10,000 grand prize went to the Gateway College Foundation after its selection, Dean’s Kitten, won the Lane’s End by 21⁄2 lengths over the Borel-ridden Northern Giant. New Perceptions had selected Northern Giant and won

$6,000. The winning horse, Dean’s Kitten, is expected to race in the upcoming Kentucky Derby May 1. The horse earned $291,000 of the $500,000 purse for winning the Lane’s End Stakes. “We have the best jockeys, the best trainers in the country and who knows, the horse who comes out of here has a legitimate shot to win the Kentucky Derby,” Elliston said prior to the race. “I think that all of that gets Greater Cincinnati excited about today.”

NKU’s Reeda Hart named outstanding educator Project Learning Tree® (PLT), the environmental education program of the American Forest Foundation, has announced that Reeda Hart, a science outreach specialist at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, was named one of five 2010 National PLT Outstanding Educators. She is a resident of Falmouth. PLT’s Outstanding Educators are selected for their commitment to environmental education, their exemplary use of PLT, and their exceptional teaching skills. Hart will be honored at PLT’s 24th International Coordinators’ Conference in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, May 17-20. Hart has worked at Northern Kentucky University’s (NKU) Center for Integrative Natural Science and Mathematics for the past seven years. Before that, she was an elementary school teacher for 27 years. In her current role as science outreach specialist with NKU, Hart takes PLT into classrooms in six school systems, integrating the environment into academic lessons and modeling teaching practices for teachers. She has created units on topics ranging from water to energy to life

cycles, using PLT as a foundation to provide interactive content that supplements the teaching of core subjects, methods for elaboration, and assessment tools. Over a three-year period during which she worked with six schools, the schools’ Academic Index scores rose significantly. Hart also helps the schools she works with design and develop outdoor classrooms, and emphasizes training for teachers in PLT to ensure the spaces are used as effective teaching tools. Hart is trained as a PLT facilitator, which means that she can train other teachers how to use PLT’s preK-12 environmental education curricula. “If we multiply the number of teachers by the number of students they reach each year, times the number of years they teach, it tells us how powerful it is to be a facilitator,” Hart notes, realizing that her work has touched the lives of thousands of students. Hart helped develop PLT’s new Early Childhood program that was launched nationally Feb. 17. This curriculum resource, designed specifically for early childhood educators, uses developmentally

Chamber offers work ethic scholarships The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, along with the Education Alliance of Northern Kentucky, invites qualifying seniors to apply for the 2010 Northern Kentucky Work Ethic Scholarship. This scholarship was created in 2009 to recognize and honor outstanding students from the region who have earned the Work Ethic Diploma. Each year, two $1000 scholarships are awarded to students from across the region that attend public or private high schools currently implementing the Work Ethic program. Students must be a resident of Boone, Campbell, Kenton, Gallatin, Grant or Pendleton Kentucky counties and successfully meet established criteria for earning the Work Ethic Diploma, as determined by their school’s representative for the program. Additionally, students competing for the scholarship must plan to be enrolled full-time at a Kentucky postsecondary institution, including those offering two-year and four-year degree programs.

“The Northern Kentucky Work Ethic Program was developed to encourage standards in students that were deemed necessary for success in today’s workforce,” says Amanda Dixon, Manager, Education Solutions, at the Chamber. “The 10 standards that were selected are: attendance, tardiness, discipline, grade point average, community service/internship, organization, punctuality, respectfulness and group cooperation. Fostering and developing these traits in our education system will serve to make Northern Kentucky students highly marketable as they enter the job market.” Candidates are evaluated based on a 500 word essay, meeting established criteria for earning the Work Ethic Diploma as determined by their school, financial need, and a commitment to display a positive work ethic as they continue onto postsecondary education or the workforce. To obtain an application or for more information, contact Amanda Dixon at 578-6396 or adixon@nkychamber.com.

Campbell softball teams make pitch By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Softball season has sprung in Northern Kentucky, as games started March 22. Several teams are in their formative stages of fast-pitch, trying to build their competitive level. Here is a look at local teams, other than Brossart, which is featured separately. JOSEPH FUQUA II/STAFF

Bishop Brossart’s Alicia Miller hits a two-run homer in the sixth inning during March 24 game with Highlands. Bishop Brossart won 5 to 1.

Battery powers Brossart softball

By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Bishop Brossart softball team is off to a 2-0 start and head coach Mel Webster’s team could be one of the strongest in the area. “I certainly think we’ll be one of the top teams, if not the top team,” Webster said. “We’ve got a tremendous amount of potential.” So far, Brossart beat Silver Grove 13-0 and beat Highlands 5-1 on the road. The Mustangs are led by pitcher Alicia Miller, who struck out 237 batters last season in 221 innings. She had 10 shutouts and four no-hitters last season, along with one perfect game. So far in 2010, she pitched a no-hit shutout against Silver Grove and a 2-hitter against Highlands. Webster said he has one of the best pitcher-catcher combinations, as catcher

Lindsay Griffith is another standout for Brossart. Griffith was the team’s leading hitter in 2009, batting .434. Both Griffith and Miller are juniors. “We really don’t have a lot of weaknesses. We’re strong up the middle and solid everywhere. It’s hard to score runs on our pitcher so if we get three or four runs a game we’re going to win,” Webster said. Among the team’s other standouts are first baseman Jenna Bezold, a four-year starter who led the team in runs batted in last season. She will hit cleanup this season. Second baseman Molly Williams hit .330 last year as a freshman and shortstop Emily Schubert is a great defensive player. Senior Krista Kennedy is a strong third baseman, adding to the talented Brossart infield. “We feel like we’re pretty solid. We have a lot of lead-

ership and experience,” Webster said. Brossart has won the district for the last four years and the goal this season is to get back to the state tournament. Webster said it would be important for the girls to stay focused. “We have to keep getting better,” he said. “No one does anything perfectly. We have to keep working at the little things and stay ready to play every day.” Brossart has a veteran team with four four-year starters and seven starters returning from 2009 but more important than that, Webster said this is a group that represents the school well. “They are smart and they play hard. They are a firstclass group of young ladies who give 100 percent all of the time. I think everyone would be pleased they represent the school,” he said.

Bellevue

Rick Blevins moves up from the Bellevue assistant ranks to take over as head coach this season for the Tigers. They went 13-9 last year and lost in the 36th District Tournament to Newport Central Catholic. The top players are senior outfielder Catherine Kessen, junior catcher Megan Arnzen, junior shortstop Taylor McIntyre and freshman pitcher Madeline Blevins. The younger Blevins started on the mound as an eighth-grader and had 119 strikeouts for the season. Overall, Bellevue has five returning starters and 11 overall, while enjoying increased competition as 27 girls tried out for the team. “We have a good mix of experience and youth,” Coach Blevins said. “The talent level for the young players is good.”

Campbell County

Walter Lambert takes over as head coach this season. The Camels went 8-11 last season and lost to Scott in the 37th District Tournament. The Camels graduated six seniors from last year’s team but Lambert has a lot of returning talent to build on.

Dayton

Dayton went 10-9 last year under head coach Karen Fuchs, who enters her third season. The top returners are senior outfielder Sammy Powell, senior outfielder Allison Dilts, senior catcher, senior infielder Jennifer Ackerson, sophomore third baseman Shelly Centers and freshman Angela Taylor. “We have some very talented underclassmen who will be starting varsity for the first time,” Fuchs said. “As these players gain valuable varsity playing time, and their skills develop, our team will grow and experience success.”

She has eight returning starters to work with. The top returning players are senior third baseman Alex Sorrell, senior outfielder Devin Bressler, senior first baseman Eden Schlosser, junior catcher Allie Conner, and junior outfielder Jenna Theisen.

Freedom switches divisions for 2010 By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Florence Freedom will have new division rivals in the 2010 Frontier League baseball season. The baseball team has been moved to the West Division of the league in a new alignment caused by a change with one of the league’s 12 members. The Rockford Riverhawks, located in far northern Illinois, departed to the Northern League. They have been replaced by the expansion Normal Cornbelters from central Illinois. The Freedom’s new division will consist of the River City Rascals, Gateway Grizzlies, Southern Illinois Miners, Evansville Otters and Normal Cornbelters. The Windy City Thunderbolts (Chicago) move to the East, which also features the Washington Wild Things, Lake Erie Crushers, Kalamazoo Kings, Traverse City Beach Bums, and Oakland County Cruisers. The Freedom get a slight travel break with the new alignment. They will make just one trip to Traverse City, the farthest team from Florence at 500 miles away. River City, one of two St. Louis-area teams in the league, is the farthest division foe away at 380 miles. Florence opens the year

at Gateway May 21, and has its home debut May 25. The Freedom are selling tickets for the 2010 season at (859) 594-HITS or online at FlorenceFreedom.com. May 21-23 at Gateway May 25-27 S.

Primary voters will pick court clerk

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

With no candidates from the Democrats for Campbell Circuit Clerk, save for any potential writein candidate in November, Republican voters in the May 18 primary election will decide the winner of the four-year post. The Republican primary battle features challenger Timothy J. Fischer of Fort Thomas and Taunya Nolan Jack of California, who is seeking her first election to the job after being appointed Jan. 13, 2009 to fill the unexpired term of Tom Calme after he retired. The office’s responsibilities include administering state driver license tests and issuing licenses and keeping court cases filed in the county. Nolan Jack said she has 20 years of legal experience working in the court system, and a history of working well with the public, taking people’s calls anytime, meeting them at the counter herself and being available to accept bail bonds after hours. Nolan Jack worked for Campbell Circuit Judge Fred A. Stine V from March 2005 until being appointed.

Nolan Jack

Fischer

“Organization is one of my best skills, and this is the perfect place to use it,” Nolan Jack said. Since being appointed, Nolan Jack said she has installed five touch-screen electronic kiosks people can use to take the written driver’s license test, and she plans to have a total of nine kiosks available for use within the next year. The kiosks save on time people have to wait because the state examiner receives a copy of their test score automatically instead of having to score each one by hand, she said. “The technology has been available for the last five years and the former circuit clerk did not pursue it,” Nolan Jack said. Nolan Jack said she has also instituted extended kiosk hours for the last Monday of each month, administering the license

tests in the Newport office until 6 p.m. Nolan Jack also said the clerk’s Newport and Alexandria offices are already open from 9 a.m. to noon each Saturday and that she has to work with the county sheriff’s office, which provides security and the Circuit judges because she can’t stay open any longer than what they decide. Fischer, general manager of the VirTom Group in Fort Thomas, which offers sales force training and other services, said he wants to bring a business owner’s perspective to the office with a focus on better customer service. If elected, Fischer said he plans to be the clerk full-time and make arrangements for his business. Fischer said he wants to keep the Circuit Clerk’s office open until 8 p.m. on weeknights so people can renew or obtain their driver’s license, and possibly even opening the Alexandria office later in the evenings, even if budgeting means he has to do it himself. “People don’t have nine-to-five jobs anymore,” Fischer said. “I just want to make things easier on the taxpayer.” Fischer said he doesn’t under-

People now have to go seven blocks from the courthouse in Newport to the administration building, making the process two trips to get a license and tag renewal, he said. Fischer said he’s heard Nolan Jack’s argument of needing to keep the staff in one place for staffing and internal budgeting efficiency, but he doesn’t agree with it and thinks efficiencies could have been found elsewhere. “Well are we here to service the staff, or are we here to service the taxpayers?” he said.

‘Friends’ make a difference the library By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com One group of friends make up a big part of the Campbell County Public Library. The Friends of the Campbell County Public Library are a group of library patrons who work in various ways to improve and support the library. From running book sales to sponsoring the Let’s Talk About It book discussion series, the Friends serve the community and library in many ways. “It’s really quite remarkable all the things the Friends provide to support the library,” said Kiki Dreyer Burke, the library’s public relations manager. “They are real-

ly an incredible organization.” Sue Crouch, current president of the Friends, has been a member of the group for about six years. “I feel like we do a service to the community as well as the library,” Crouch said. “We try to keep people reading and keep them active in the library.” One way the group supports the library is by funding the Children’s Summer Reading Program, which costs $15,000 a year. Joyce Maegley, who has been part of the group for 15 years, said encouraging children to read is important to her. “When I was a child, the library was very important to me,” said Maegley, who volunteers with her husband Gene. “I hope

we can continue to support the library and offer kids a summer reading program over the summer.” Maegley said she is also very proud of the group’s staff scholarships, which give three staff members $1,500 scholarship for school each year. The group also funds many aesthetic improvements at the libraries, including the murals at the Newport branch and outside benches at the Cold Spring and Fort Thomas branches. Membership costs $10 person or $15 per family for a year. More information about becoming a member can be found at any of the library’s branches.

What started as one booth and a group of people trying to promote recycling is now a quickly growing event in Fort Thomas. The annual Earth Fair, presented by the Go Green group and the City of Fort Thomas, is meant to give the community a chance to learn about various ways they can protect the environment and go green. “We have a good variety of booths this year and fun things for the kids,” said Trisha Schroeder with Go Green. “Last year we had 17 booths and this year we have 20, so the event is growing.” The booths feature information about everything from recycling and gardening to green cleaning and environmentally friendly make-up. Fort Thomas’s farmers market, Earth Mother Market, is holding its season opening at the fair and will be selling a variety of organically grown foods. Debbie Buckley, Fort Thomas’s Renaissance coordinator, said the city provides the space by the clock tower in Towne Center and supports the event however possible. “We think it is a great project,” Buckley said. “Everyone is becoming more concerned with protecting our earth and environment.” Schroeder said the fair, which is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 24, includes live music, raffles and recycling drop boxes for shoes, eyewear, cell phones and batteries.

Public hearing on Lafarge plant permit By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Lafarge North America’s permit renewal application with the Kentucky Division For Air Quality to operate the existing synthetic gypsum wallboard plant is the subject of an April 9 public hearing. The division has scheduled the hearing at the Campbell County Courthouse, 8352 E. Main St., Alexandria, at 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 9. Lafarge’s plant at 5145 Mary Ingles Hwy., is the biggest plant in the world that produces gypsum drywall sheets, commonly used in construction, according to company representatives. Sharley Rose, a resident of Darlington Road in Melbourne, said she will attend the hearing because she believes dust from the plant is collecting on her roof and window sills. “I’m going to be there even if I’m the only one,” Rose said. “I’m going to ask

them to put in better filter systems for what comes out of the stacks.” Rose said she’s also stopped drinking her cistern water because she’s concerned about the dust getting into the water, and she doesn’t want to pay to have it tested. Rose said she hasn’t complained to Lafarge directly, but has through the state air and water quality divisions. She has called and written to her congressman about her concerns. Living on a hilltop, Rose said she sees the plume from the plant’s stacks, especially on cloudy days. She said she didn’t have a problem with dust until the plant’s 2007 expansion. “We far exceed our permit requirements for particulates,” said Scott Walton, environmental, health and safety manager for Lafarge in Silver Grove. “I just don’t believe that we have emissions from our plant affecting neighbors.” Since setting up a new complaint hotline 859-4484763 for residents six

months ago, there have yet to be any calls, and the company is aware of only one person who has complained to the state, Walton said. “We will respond immediately,” he said. Lafarge first opened the plant in 2000. A group of Silver Grove residents sued the company civilly in 2001, saying their properties were being covered in gypsum dust, and settled out of court. In 2001 the Kentucky Environmental Protection Cabinet cited Lafarge for violating state air pollution regulations in its handling of gypsum dust. Since then, Lafarge has invested in multiple dustcontrol methods, Walton said.. “We do operate in full compliance with our existing permit, and we exceed standards in many ways,” he said All gypsum piles are now treated with a hydro-mulch covering, similar to what landscapers use, Walton said. “It helps to keep the moisture and it also creates a bit of a crusty layer so we don’t have a lot of wind erosion,” he said. Monitoring moisture levels of the gypsum piles is performed daily by staff, Walton said. In 2005 Lafarge built a 25,000 ton storage building to put many of the piles under cover, he said.

Draft permit available

Copies of the the Kentucky Division for Air Quality’s draft permit for Lafarge North America’s Silver Grove plant are available online at www.air.ky.gov/homepage_rep ository/Public+Information.htm. Official printed copies of the division’s draft permit are available for review at the Campbell County Public Library, 3920 Alexandria Pike, Cold Spring. “We’ve also enclosed several of the outdoor conveyors,” he said. “And that also controls fugitive emission.” A wheel wash for all vehicles and equipment in and leaving the plant has also been installed, and the roads inside the plant are regularly cleaned, Walton said. Carbon emissions have also been reduced by reducing gas and electric usage at the plant, he said. “All of those things that were put in place, were put in place to mitigate fugitive emissions, and I think it’s been very effective,” he said. Many Lafarge employees are members of the community, and the company is committed to the long haul and being a good neighbor, Walton said. Lafarge has created a wildlife natural area near the plant where community groups and schools bring students for environmental education, he said. Lafarge also sponsors a $5,000 annual college scholarship for students at Silver Grove High School. The product itself is 99 percent recycled from byproduct gypsum from coal-fired power plants and also paper, he said. “We manufacture a very green product, Walton said.

City’s land purchase furthers trails idea

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Wilder is pursuing an expansion of the city’s Licking River shoreline park Frederick’s Landing, a plan that also fits with a regional plan to stretch a river trail network from Newport to Interstate-275. Wilder has bought 9.77 acres of land south of the park along the river from Ipsco Steel, operator of the former Newport Steel plant, for $50,000, said Terry Vance, city administrator. The purchase is part of a long-range plan to extend Frederick’s Landing south and eventually buy the river shore land up to Maxim Crane Works’ location, Vance said. The land is inaccessible except from the landing, he said. The city is considering building an 8-10 foot wide bike trail and is seeking a $75,000 grant for that purpose, Vance said. The Licking River Greenway and Trails Master Plan, envisioned out of Vision 2015 planning process, includes trails through not only Wilder, but also on both sides of the Licking from the Ohio River in Newport to I-275. “It works well with Greenway plans, but we were thinking of this long before that was thought of,” Vance said. But the city will work with planners of the Greenway because it fits right into their plans, he said. Frederick’s Landing is probably most notable for the park’s boat launch that even a novice boater can often use, Vance said. There are also horse shoe courts and shelters. It’s long been a park, Vance said. Starting in the 1980s the

city leased the park area for 20 years from the U.S. Corps of Engineers. After the lease was up the city bought the land through the federal Lands to Parks Program. The sale terms stipulate it remain park land. Just keeping the boat ramp accessible costs the city $20,000 to dredge each year, Vance said. The operation used to cost $70,000 a year before the city bought its own dredge, he said. Dirt, debris and silt from the river back up where the ramp enters the water, Vance said. If the city didn’t dredge it, the boat ramp would quickly become unusable, he said. “It silts up especially in the spring,” Vance said. The costly dredging is part of why the city charges a user fee for the park. It’s free to walk or bicycle in, but to park a car costs $2 per day or $10 per year. To launch a boat costs $10 per day or $50 per year. The fees have been the same for 10 years, and residents of the city receive free passes, he said. Jim McKnight of Fort Thomas walks his dog Lucie in the park twice a day. McKnight said he even found the dog abandoned in the park as a puppy eight years ago. It’s a good place to get out and just walk around and meditate, he said. McKnight said he would walk any new trails if built too. “It’s so nice down here,” McKnight said.

Some fire board spots publicly elected By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Each year two board positions open up on each of Campbell County’s fire districts. And when one of two property owner positions on a board are up, essentially a community representative, the public gets to vote in an open election the final Saturday in June from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. By state law, each board is comprised of seven board members. The county’s judge-executive gets to appoint three of the board members, the firefighters elect two board members internally, and the public decides the remaining two board positions.

Each year a fire district has a county judge-executive board appointment (a three-year term), and either a property owner or firefighter representative (both are four-year terms), said Central Campbell Fire District Chief Gerald Sandfoss. If the fire district thinks a judge-executive appointment is doing a good job they’ll often ask for the person to be re-appointed, Sandfoss said. And with only one firefighters representative or property owner representative board spot open each year, board continuity is maintained, he said. “So, it kind of rotates so you kind of keep your nucleus,” Sandfoss said.

This year, Central Campbell has a firefighter board representative spot open, and a property owner position will be open in 2011, he said. When it comes to property owner representatives, only property owners living within a fire district are eligible to either vote or run as a candidate, said Thomas A. Wietholter, the attorney for both the Alexandria Fire District and Campbell County Fire District No. 1. Property owners who are active firefighters for the district are not eligible to vote for the property owner representative either. Candidates also can’t be behind on their property taxes, Wietholter said.

Each fire district sets its own rules for how a person places their name on the ballot, he said. At the Alexandria Fire District, a property owner position is up in 2010. A legal notice printed in the March 25 edition of the Campbell County Recorder stipulates that interested candidates have until 4 p.m. May 10 to submit a completed application to be a board representative. The applications are available at the firehouse, 7951 Alexandria Pike, Alexandria, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For Campbell County Fire District No. 1, a property owner board position is also open. Because Fire District No. 1 has three stations,

the election will be at the main station on Four Mile Road in Camp Springs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 26. Southern Campbell Fire District Chief Jim Bell said last year a firefighters’ board position was elected, but he could not confirm if it is a property owner position is up for election this prior to the deadline for this story. But when a property owner representative is chosen, no application is necessary for candidates, said Southern Campbell’s board chairman Bernerd W. Henke. “Anybody can walk in on election day and vote for anybody they want to vote for,” Henke said.

Alexandria proposes political sign guidelines By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

When it comes to political signs, the City of Alexandria is asking those campaigning to follow a few suggestions. The city’s zoning administrator sent a letter out to all candidates for the May 18 primary election regardless of party affiliation recommending when signs should go up, said Mayor Dan McGinley.

“We appreciate your cooperation in helping to keep our city looking good,” was the last sentence of the letter. Among the letter’s request was that campaign signs not be put up prior to 60 days before the primary, or for the general election in November not go up until the Wednesday before Labor Day when the Alexandria Fair and Horse Show begins. Other items mentioned in the letter included residential yard signs being no more than eight square feet, be placed at least five feet from prop-

erty lines, and not be displayed on parked truck beds anywhere in the city. The letter will eventually go out to all candidates for the general election too, McGinley said. It’s a first for the city to send out such a letter and is possibly something the city should have always been doing, McGinley said. As a practical matter, the city is simply making a request to keep the city looking nice, he said. “But again, it’s nothing but a request,” McGinley said. The idea for the letter

began with an e-mail from Campbell County Clerk Jack Snodgrass asking cities if they wanted to standardize election laws, McGinley said. The city used to have an ordinance that campaign signs not go up any earlier than 60 days before an election that nobody paid attention to and was possibly unconstitutional so it was repealed, he said. “Laws regarding signs can often be unconstitutional and infringe on first amendment rights, McGinley said. “We don’t want to get into making rules that

are unenforceable or unconstitutional.” Snodgrass said campaign sign laws vary between different communities and he wants to standardize the rules like many other Kentucky counties have. The number, placement and size of signs is always the biggest problem in terms of complaints during any election season, Snodgrass said. “People complain they’re up too early, and they block the right of way’s sight lines,” he said. Snodgrass said he’d like communities to agree to

standardize the timing of the sign placement of not going up until six weeks before the election and having to come down within two weeks after the election. Snodgrass said he tried a similar request about five or six years ago, but nothing happened, and he’s more hopeful this time. The idea is to have a county-wide law in place before the general election this year, he said. “So we’re trying to get it into shape and get it done,” Snodgrass said.

St. Elizabeth makes ‘Epic’ announcement St. Elizabeth Healthcare transformed its current paper-based medical record system to an electronic medical record system called Epic April 1 at St. Elizabeth Florence, Ft. Thomas and Falmouth. This is the first significant step toward achieving the vision of having a unified electronic health record for all patients throughout the St. Elizabeth system. The transformation to an electronic medical record will impact patients

and the care received through: • Immediate access-Medical information will be immediately accessible to caregivers and waiting time to receive paper copies will be eliminated. Lab, radiology and other test results will be posted to electronic records as soon as they are available. • Improved patient safety-Caregivers will have system wide immediate access to medical information. They will have the ability to check

medications against patient allergies and ensure that medications are delivered accurately and safely. • Improved coordination of careElectronic medical records ensure better coordination of care among physicians. For example, providers will be able to see if a patient had a chest Xray in the ED two days prior to an office visit. Care coordination will help eliminate unnecessary testing by multiple physicians.

Parents have say on school councils

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

From reviewing textbook options to balancing a school’s budget, the power to run a school rests with its School Based Decision Making Council. Open parent representative elections for parents with children in a public school are scheduled at multiple Campbell County Schools in April and are organized by parent teacher organizations and associations. Since lawmakers passed the Kentucky Education Reform Act in 1990, state law gives parents a say with positions elected by the parents on each SBDM council. The council’s have monthly public meetings, are led by the school’s principal and also include representatives picked by the teachers in a school. Cold Spring resident Steve Mackie previously served two years as a parent representative on the Cline Elementary SBDM. Mackie said the everything a council does revolves around student achievement. While on council, Mackie helped reviewed textbooks to help decide which were the best for the students and talked about different types of tests and reviewed test results for the school’s students. Mackie said he initially decided to become involved on Cline’s council because he wanted to know as much as he could about his child’s school, but ended up caring just as much about how all the other students were doing by getting involved. “You have to really care about your child’s education, that’s what makes a good candidate,” he said. And when former Cline principal Shelli Wilson took a job in the district administration, Mackie was on the council that had to hire a new principal. “As a parent you wouldn’t expect to be making those types of decisions,” he said. “That was impressive.” Cline Elementary’s SBDM council representation is typical of most and includes three teachers, two parents and the principal. Schools in district follow the six member format except for Campbell County High School. To allow room for more voices on the board because of the high school’s enrollment size, it has a double council, said Meg Crail, president of the high school’s PTSA. Lynn Poe, principal of Cline Elementary, said she comes to her council with ideas, but they all

It’s time for parent representative elections through parent teacher organizations in Campbell County Schools. • Cline Elementary’s PTO will have parent representative elections throughout April 7-13 with results announced at the April 15 PTO meeting. • Campbell Ridge Elementary’s PTO will have parent representative elections from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 13 with results announced at the 7 p.m. April 13 PTO meeting. • Grant’s Lick Elementary School: To be announced later. • Crossroads Elementary’s PTO will have a parent representative elections at 6:30 p.m. April 27. • Reiley Elementary’s PTA and SBDM elections will be at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. April 20. • Campbell County Middle School’s PTO is having parent elections April 21. Nominations for both SBDM and PTO are due no later than 3 p.m. April 9. • Campbell County High School’s Parent Teacher Student Association will have parent representative elections from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 8 during an open house, and also from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. April 13.

have to work collaboratively to get things done. “Basically our council overseas all the policies that have to do with curriculum and the running our school,” Poe said. At Campbell County Middle School, the council has to make tough decisions, said Principal David Sandlin. Activities and extracurricular budgets have been shrinking because of budget cuts, Sandlin said. The council has decided to go from 12 basketball teams at various levels down to 10 teams because of the issue of compensating people involved in athletics for their work, he said. “However, the hot button issue at the middle school, one of them is the dress code,” Sandlin said. The SBDM councils are one of the components the surviving elements of KERA, he said. “It meant so much to the lawmakers (...) that decisions could not just be made at the administrative level,” Sandlin said. “It was a major component of the reform act of 1990 and we’re glad to see that it’s still alive, at least I am.”

Students have been repeating the dance steps and learning the songs for the musical comedy “Once Upon a Mattress” since mid-February, said Joseph Bertucci, director and drama teacher. Three performances are scheduled for April 16-18. The musical was made famous by comedian Carol Burnett, Bertucci said. It’s loosely based upon the Hans Christian Anderson story “The Princess and the Pea,” but with a grown-up twist, he said. Courtney Combs, 17, of Grant’s Lick, sang her way to center stage in her first play ever as the lead character “Winnifred.” “My sister is a musical theater major at Northern Kentucky University, and she always looks like she’s having a lot of fun,” Combs said. So, Combs said she decided to audition for her first play this winter. Before auditioning, Combs said she practiced singing songs in the privacy of her room. “Once Upon a Mattress” features Combs’ character Winnifred trying to land a prince as a husband in a magical kingdom despite lacking a pedigree. “Princess Winnifred is the crazy swamp girl that can’t hook a boy, and it’s her last chance to hook a prince,” she said. Winnifred is brash and outlandish and she likes to make loud noises including dinosaur screech-

Show times and tickets

Campbell County High School Drama will perform three shows of “Once Upon a Mattress” in the school’s auditorium, 909 Camel Crossing, Alexandria. Show dates and times are 8 p.m. Friday, April 16 and Saturday, April 17; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 18. Tickets are $9 at the door or in advance in the school’s media center. There’s also a drama club Web site this year, www.cchsdrama.org, where patrons can buy tickets. es, Combs said. “She likes to make raptor noises and sticks her hands out as claws,” Combs said of Winnifred.

There are more than 50 students in the cast, crew and orchestra working on everything from learning the music and choreography to prop design and stage management, Bertucci said. For the set, in addition to a castle facade, there is a very basic illusion of 20 mattresses, he said. “It’s a real comedy driven show,” Bertucci said. “I would say most of what’s great about the show comes from the characters and their comedy.” The drama club students have also committed to a going-green theme this year, Bertucci said. Club members have sold earthfriendly items as a fundraiser for the program. “We have also committed to recycling our programs,” he said.

Time for ‘spring’

PROVIDED

Students at St. Joseph Cold Spring have been reading a different book each month in an effort to emphasize ”The Seven Keys to Comprehension.” Each month a different reading strategy is introduced. Making connections, visualizing, questioning, summarizing, inferring, and synthesizing, are important strategies that combine to enhance a student’s reading comprehension. Students in Ann Gerner’s seventh-grade class give a “spring” of triumph over the success of the bulbs they planted last fall. The bulbs help to demonstrate the power of the comprehension strategies employed by the school’s Book of the Month Program. Springing with enthusiasm are from left to right, Jon Henn, Garrett Ahlbrand, Colin Hoover, Hannah Williams, Matt Striegel, Kara Mardis, and Jamie Henley.

Bluebird track aims for 2 in a row By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The football and girls’ soccer teams at Highlands High School have successfully defended state championships in recent years. Terri Mayhew has the same goal for her girls’ track team, which claimed the Class 2A state team title last year. The Bluebirds return the bulk of their scoring from that team. “We have a large group that really believes in the team concept of everyone doing their part,” said Mayhew, the team’s head coach, in a questionnaire form. “They care how they do individually but especially focus on the team performing well. They are very motivated and competitive and respond well to challenges. They have all been a part of our winning tradition and take pride in wanting it to continue. Nothing but

Wildcats fall to Bulldogs

Newport’s Jimmy Stevens runs up to a pop fly to end the third inning of Newport’s 2-1 loss at Holmes April 2.

The rise of the Campbell County High School girls’ track team in recent years has been meteoric. The Camels finished second in the Class 3A state track meet last year and won three event championships. Only one athlete (Katie Kitchen) graduated from those three titles, and the Camels return multiple point scorers from last year. That has head coach Brandon Napier thinking big. “The No. 1 thing I like most about our team this season is the high level of confidence, which I believe is due to the momentum that has been built from the success of last season,” he said in a questionnaire form. “I feel that our team has the desire, dedication, and determination to be successful this season. I also feel that this is the first year that I can actually say that we have experience and depth to go along with our talent, which in years past we may have had two of the three.” The top returner is junior Anna Carrigan, who was part of all three state titles. She won the 400 meters individually and anchored the 4x200 and 4x400 relay champions. She was also fifth in the 200. Juniors Carolynn Dreyer and Paige Yenter, and sophomore Christina Heilman also return from the relays. Freshman cross country standout Taylor Robinson qualified for state in the 1,600 last year and returns. Sophomore Kennedy Berkley qualified in the 100 hurdles and triple jump last year and leads the jumping corps. Napier said the jumps and throws are the areas of concern for the team, with not much experience and depth. Campbell also graduated Amy Lauer (second in pole vault) but Jenna Cavanaugh

He lifted CovCath to a win over the Northern Kentucky Warriors March 31 with a walkoff goal in sudden-death overtime. Teammates mobbed Fischer after the 3-2 win. Fischer had scored game-winning goals last year in junior varsity play over Louisville powers St. Xavier and Trinity. “It’s a lot of fun out there,” Fischer said. “It’s hard to explain the feeling when you get a game-winning shot. I’m good under pressure. I’ve been the one shooting the ball from grade school to now.” Lacrosse is not sanctioned by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Several Louisville and Lexington schools play the sport, and the Colonels and Warriors are the only Northern Kentucky teams. The sport employs the same basic rules as soccer and hockey. Players use sticks with nets on the end, and a rubber ball the size of a tennis ball.

The Warriors play at Dixie Heights High School and have players from Dixie, Beechwood, St. Henry, Ryle and Campbell County high schools. “I like it,” said Dixie senior Patrick Keeley, who scored one of the Warriors’ goals against CCH. “You make a lot of new friendships, you meet people you’re not really used to meeting. It’s basketball, football, hockey just smashed together. It’s physical but you have the finesse side of it, too.” The Warriors were 1-3 after the game, while CovCath improved to 2-4. Both teams play mostly other

Kentucky schools. “On purpose I scheduled some tough games to get them ready,” CovCath head coach John Cahill said. “It may have backfired because we’re a little down right now, but after this one hopefully everyone’s excited again.” Said Fischer: “Our goal for this season is to develop players and get them better for next year so we have more of an attacking presence.” Andy Routt, the Warriors head coach and University of Cincinnati student, had coaching experience in Cincinnati before taking over the Warriors this year. “We have a lot of upperclassmen and seven seniors. They have been playing since junior high,” he said. “We’ve got to be able to execute offensively. That’s been our main problem. From day one until today, there has been 100 percent improvement from everybody.” Jake Barnett and Arin Robinson lead the Warriors with four goals apiece. Jackson Adams, who scored the team’s other goal against Cov Cath, leads with five assists. The teams will meet again Tuesday, April 27, at Cov Cath. The Warriors’ next home game is April 21 against Tates Creek. The Colonels host Westerville April 8.

Last week’s question

How do you think passage of health care reform will affect the November elections?

“I’m not sure anyone really knows, though the Republican side seems to be very optimistic that they will make large gains. “But before the House passed the reform bill, the general consensus from those of us on the right was that they did not have quite enough votes. Stupak’s defection changed that. “I hope we throw the rascals out, but we’ll have to wait seven months and a week to find out.” Bill B. “I don’t think it will significantly affect November elections. I think we need health care reform, but unfortunately there is no one simple answer to what has gone on for decades. “I don’t blame the Democrats or Republicans. If people want change then they need to work for it, and one way is to elect officials they think can speak for that change.” R.L.H. “I hope citizens that do not agree with the passage of this bill will look up how their legislators voted and if it is not in alignment with their views, they will vote them out of office. “Somehow the will of the constituents, and not the politicians, will get through. The only thing politicians seem to understand is the loss of an election.” C.P. “Although the health care bill in the form it was passed is not nearly as powerful and helpful to the average American family as the administration hoped it would be, it is still a huge step in the right direction. Its passage should strengthen support for President Obama and will undoubtedly cause a rally among Republicans to replace those who supported the bill, both Dems and GOPs, from the president on down the line. “I find it sad that an issue as critical to the health and wellbeing of our nation has caused such a violent division in the American population. The threatening messages left on health care reform supporters’ phones are terrifying and tossing bricks through peoples’ windows never solved anything. “Our political process allows us to vote out those whom we do not endorse - we should all use this privilege to elect politicians we believe will promote the issues important to us as American citizens.” M.M. “Congrats Mr. President and Congress for the passage of health care. Not far enough but we’ll work on that in time. “Unlike what most conservatives are expecting, the passge of health care will not have extreme impact on the House and Senate races. It will have a much smaller impact than most conservatives hope. “The Dems will lose a few seats, no big deal, the Dems will still control the Executive and Legislative branch. There’s a lot of work the president wants to do; energy, jobs, financial reforms, education, appropriate exit from the wars. “Let us not forget a permanent position for the former vice president and his family to help export our ideas in the Congo.

Next question: Do you agree with President Obama’s decision to open more coastal waters to oil and gas exploration? Why or why not? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “Kidding aside, Obama is in a grove and is energized to take on our Ccuntry’s other needs. You rock Barack, keep it up. We’re here to help.” J.W.M. “The voters who understand the full implications of the new law will remember who voted for it and vote accordingly. However, I believe the greater impact will come from those who support health care reform, but discover by November it has done nothing for them and will also react against the Democrats. R.V. “Health care legislation will be a big issue, but I think the state of the economy will be even more important. While the economy may be in recovery, unemployment is still high and it shows no signs of easing. “I think incumbents and politicians who have been around for awhile are in big trouble. At least I hope so. As Obama said last year, we need ‘change.’” T.H. “Once the public realizes that the rhetoric of the right is full of half-truths and outright lies it will have little effect. Those with ultraconservative views will not be swayed one iota, but the majority of people will realize it is really a done deal, and not a bad one. “Jobs and the economy will again become the two most prominent issues at the ballot box.” J.Z. “A week is a long time in politics, so we can't really know. The president and the Democrats campaigned on health care and won with substantial majorities, so we should be delighted that they carried out their promise and responded to the will of the majority. “The Republicans complain about the use of reconciliation, but they were quite willing to use a filibuster, if given a chance, to enforce the will of the minority on the country – what hypocrisy! “While the idea that those who want health care should be willing to work for it – the basis of the U.S. employer-based system – has some intellectual appeal, the recession should give us pause for thought. There are millions of Americans, willing workers, who got thrown out of work through no fault of their own and lost their health care, and for these people some sort of social safety net seems entirely appropriate. “I'm sure all of them would willing assume my tax bill if they could have the income that justifies it.” D.R.

Visiting Frankfort

Early intervention leads to successful kindergartners Today, most childhood experts agree that attending a high-quality preschool program that provides early intervention in the developmental domains is necessary to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. The Campbell County School District believes strongly in offering developmentally appropriate education and interventions to our youngest students, preparing them for a successful start in kindergarten. Open to children ages 3 and 4 years old, the CCS preschool program offers a research based curriculum while intervening to remediate and/or extend each child’s five developmental domains-cognitive, social, adaptive, communication, and motor. Though needed by all children, quality preschool education is especially important for those students who display a developmental delay. While some delays can be obvious, others are more subtle. Review the following questions to help determine if your child, or a child you know, may have a delay. • Can the child be understood by people outside of the family? • Does the child use 3-4 word sentences? • Does the child easily separate from his or her parent? • Does the child interact with his or her peers and/or adults?

Sally Kalb Community Recorder guest columnist

• Does the child answer questions about colors, shapes, animals, etc? • Can the child dress him/herself or assist in dress-

ing? • Can the child feed him/herself? • Is the child potty trained? • Can the child catch a ball, hop and skip? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, it is possible that the child is experiencing a developmental delay. It is vital to address these delays in order for the child to become a successful student in kindergarten. The preschool program at Campbell County Schools is designed to meet the needs of all students while specializing in teaching those students with extra needs. In-district children who are identified by the staff to have a delay in one or more of the developmental domains may attend the district preschool free of charge. The preschool program is also open to children who will turn 4 on or before Oct. 1, 2010 and the family’s gross household income is 150 percent or less of the National Poverty Rate.

“The Democrats proceeded without getting buy-in from the Republicans. The Republicans withheld support to perhaps gain an advantage in the upcoming elections. As a result, the American people will vote against Congressional incumbents in November.” D.M.

Highlands student wins trip to Germany For three-and-a-half weeks this summer, Highlands High School sophomore Rebekah Agard will be immersed in the German language and culture. Agard recently won an all-expenses paid study trip to Germany from the American Association of Teachers of German. Agard was one of about 23,000 who competed for the trip by taking the national German exam and is one of 44 who won. “I’m really excited,” Agard said. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” After scoring in the 90th percentile on the exam, Agard had to fill out an application, which included writing a letter and answer-

ing a series of questions in German. Agard also had to do a telephone interview, mainly in German. “I think her phone interview really showed her skills and personality,” said Linda Zins-Adams, Agard’s German teacher at HHS. “I’m very pleased that she was selected.” At least one student from Zins-Adams’ class has been selected to go on the trip every year for three years. During her trip, Agard will stay with a host family and get to visit different cities in the area. “I’m looking forward to experiencing the culture and meeting new people,” Agard said.

Celebrating the destruction of a bully Most of us, or our children, have at some time experienced being bullied. A bully seeks to intimidate, induce fear, taunt, or control someone considered weaker than they. What a relief it is when a bully is overcome or deposed. Death is a bully! All though our lives it elicits fear in us. Like a threatening vulture awaiting its time, the specter of death (death anxiety) sits on the branches of the tree of life. Its presence leads us to have unhealthy fears about dying, losing people we love, or being deprived of everything we enjoy and value. In fact, the fear of death paralyzes some people so much it can lead to an overcautious living of life (life anxiety). “Why love anyone if someday I’ll lose them?” “Why try to enter fully into life if it will someday come to a screeching halt?” whis-

pers fearful minds too afraid of the bully. A cartoon depicts the opening to a dark cave and a set of two eyes peering out of the darkFather Lou ness. Guntzelman The caption Perspectives u n d e r n e a t h says: “If you’re very careful today, nothing good or bad will happen to you.” The bottom line of Christianity is our faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the deposing of the bully Death. Paul states the audaciousness of our faith, “For if Christ did not rise, then your faith is futile and your sins have never been forgiven... and we, of all people, are the most to be pitied,” (1 Corinthians 15:17-19)

Easter is the day we Christians celebrate Christ’s rising and his promise that we will rise, too. So we sing our Alleluias and celebrate. We take to heart the advice early Christians gave that it’s not right to be anything but joyful on Easter Day. We can go on fostering our fondest dreams of life and love, knowing our lives will eventually be transformed for the better and forever. The funeral liturgy affirms: “In him rose from the dead, our own hope of resurrection dawned. And now, the sadness of death gives way to the bright promise of immortality.” Poet John O’Donohue echoes the same point: “Regardless of how we configure the eternal, the human heart continues to dream of a state of wholeness, a place where everything comes together, where loss is made good, where

blindness will transform into vision, where damage will be made whole, where the clenched question will open in the house of surprise, where the travails of a life’s journey will enjoy a homecoming.” How timidly we state our triumphs and good health by the superstition of knocking on wood. We knock because it allegedly drowns out our boast. We fear that it we enjoy life too much the dreaded bully will return and wreak havoc on us. It’s as though we find it dangerous to hope for too much. Scripture does not yield to such superstition. Since God destroyed the biggest bully of ours, death, scripture doesn’t knock on wood. It has no hesitation in announcing it loud and clear. In fact, scripture taunts the bully of Death that still frightens God’s people so much.

It shouts: “Death is swallowed up in victory! “So where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:54-55) Furthermore, some people, such as the mystic poet Rilke, see Death being so totally vanquished it now serves us – almost as a friend. He writes, “Death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love. … This life always says Yes and No simultaneous. Death is the true Yea-sayer. It stands before eternity and says only: Yes.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Then the magazines started arriving. He received two issues of “Golf Digest” and one issue of “The Family Handyman.” Doug immediately called the publishers of these two magazines and said, “They were very upset about this. They have canceled the subscriptions.” Doug said the publishers told him they’ve received

similar complaints about other such magazine sales firms and they try not to accept business from them. Doug said this is a lesson for everyone. “Go back and check their credit cards… and work with your parents,” he said.

As the nation’s population continues to get older, it’s more important than ever for children to look after their elderly parents. A local man learned this after finding his father had ordered magazines he neither needs nor wants. Doug Herberger of Forest Park keeps watch on his father, Adrian, who is nearly 80 years old. In January, Doug checked the mail and saw something that disturbed him. “I found a letter from a company that said, ‘Here’s the magazine confirmation for the magazines you ordered,’ ” Doug said.

Tony Caminiti, who had no association with the parish but who had the cookbook, and Terrie Evans, the sister of Buddy LaRosa who is a member of the parish and who told wonderful stories to me about the parish and this annual festival where the pizza making took place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buddy still brings bread in to bake every week and we sell it for $2 a loaf,â&#x20AC;? she told me.

Tips for getting your plants off to a good start By Ron Wilson Community Press/Recorder Gardening Columnist

If you’re thinking about starting seeds indoors this winter, good for you! Here are a few tips to help make you a bit more successful with your seed starting adventure. First of all, you’ll need the right seed starting supplies: 1) Use a soil-less potting mix or seed starting mix. This mix is extremely important as it actually helps to hold moisture for the new

seedlings yet is airy and allows them to dry properly with less chance of dampening or rotRon Wilson off, ting. S o m e In the garden mixes may include a slow release fertilizer to help feed the seedlings very slowly and gently as they grow. Be sure to pre-moisten your potting mix before planting the

seeds. 2) Something to grow your seedlings in – small clay or plastic pots, Jiffy Cubes, peat pots, Cow Pots, or trays with cell packs are wonderful for starting your seeds. 3) Some type of shop light with regular fluorescent tubes will be needed to help supplement the much-needed sunlight to keep your seedlings from stretching. Remember to keep the lights within 3 inches of the tops of the new seedlings. You may need to keep the lights on 12-14 hours a day, even in

sunnier windows. 4) A misting bottle. This is one of the best ways to water your new seedlings, especially when they’re very young. Misting the soil is not so invasive and is easier to control the water flow. 5) A small inexpensive fan, and trust me, this fan is one of the key ingredients for starting seeds indoors. Placed away from the seedlings, it provides constant air movement around the plants, which helps reduce disease and rotting, and it also helps to promote stockier plants.

And here’s the most important thing to remember: Read the back of the seed packs for additional germinating information (do the seeds need to be covered, spacing, soil temps – generally 70-75 degrees during the day, etc.?), as well as how long it takes for seed germination and growing time before transplanting outdoors. Count backwards from our frost free date (May 15 or so), and that’s when you should start those seeds indoors. For tomatoes it takes

about 6 weeks (peppers 8 weeks), which means starting time would be right around late March/early April. Remember, it’s always better to start your seeds a little late, rather than way too early. Have fun growing your plants from seeds, indoors. Talk to you next time, in the garden. Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc. Garden Stores and is the garden expert for 55KRC-AM and Local 12.Reach him at columns@communitypress.com.

Buckhout named executive director of Community Foundation of N. Ky. Charlene Erler, Chairman of the Board of the Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky, announced the appointment of Carol Buckhout as Executive Director of the Foundation, effective March 1. In that role, Buckhout will be responsible for administration of the Foundation, which provides oversight and financial and operational support for the Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center, as well as other

Foundation programs and funds related to health, social services and education. “Carol has Buckhout made significant contributions to the Foundation’s mission, first through her contributions to our marketing and communications programs and more recently, as our interim executive director,” Erler said.

“Carol’s experience and dedication will be essential as the Foundation pursues its goal to become the Northern Kentucky region’s principal resource and advocate for children and our community’s well-being.” Buckhout has served as interim director of the Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky since October 2009. She was the Foundation’s communications director under former Chief Executive Officer, Nancy Barone,

who left the Foundation to serve as a senior executive at University Hospital and remains on its Board of Directors. Previously, Buckhout held several positions in marketing, communications and fundraising for health care and educational institutions. Most recently, she was the communications director of Beechwood Independent Schools and executive director of the Beechwood Educational Foundation. She has

also given many hours as a community volunteer in the areas of health and education. The Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky supports and enhances health, social and educational programs that benefit Northern Kentuckians, including the Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center. The Advocates, a group of civically engaged volunteers, recently formed to lead fundraising efforts on

the Center’s behalf. For information about these events or to donate online, go to www.cfnky.org.

To place an ad call 859-578-5509, fax 859-578-5515 or email bkrosnes@nky.com.

1.) Keep your pet bunnies inside in a large cage. Outdoors there is the weather to worry about and cats and too many other dangers to name. 2.) Make sure you have all the right supplies. Besides a cage, you need food, a bowl, water bottle, litter, storage containers and cleaning equipment. 3.) Give your bunny lots of attention. They have to play for at least a half hour a day. You can teach them tricks if you find out what they really like, like a special food treat. (Hopper, for example, can balance on a ball, hop down the stairs, play a keyboard and drive a pink plastic convertible.) 4.) Feed your rabbit a good diet. This means rabbit pellets, but can also include carrots, Timothy hay, apples (with the seeds removed, because they are poisonous to rabbits) and radishes. Do not feed your bunny lettuce since that gives them gas. 5.) Always love your bunny because after all, they deserve it!

Easter is upon us and the temptation is there to buy children bunnies as holiday gifts. But, don’t do it, pleads Mark Kerley of Bellevue, a graphic designer and owner of Lucky Rabbit Studio (www.luckyrabbitstudio.com). Kerley, who owns Sophie, a rescue rabbit, is an active member of the House Rabbit Society (www.rabbit.org), an international nonprofit organization that rescues rabbits from animals shelters and educates the public on rabbit care and behavior. He is so committed to the cause that he donates 5 percent of Lucky Rabbit Studio’s profits to the group. “Unlike chocolate Easter bunnies,” he says, “Rabbits can live up to 10 years. And being naturally skittish and not to mention, fragile, they aren’t the best choice for young children.” He suggests that a better choice might be a stuffed toy because, “Rabbits aren’t holiday gifts, they are live animals that need caring owners who will cater to their needs.”

folio. “She got a good grade on it,” her mother added, proudly. “I thought it would be super-easy to keep a bunny,” Barbara recalled. “And I found out that it’s not! There’s a lot to it. The truth is, they poop a lot and you have to keep their cage really clean. I do it at least once a week with a little shovel. First, I scoop out everything then take the tray from underneath and scrub it and put fresh lining around the cage. She throws a lot of litter and I have to replace that a lot.” The little girl flinches. “Oooh, stop that,” she gently rebuked the errant bunny, placing her finger gently on its nose, explaining, “She doesn’t bite hard, just nibbles. I call it a love nibble.” “Now, now, Hopper,” she coos, placing a kiss on the tip of one of its ears, “Be good, we have guests around. Bunnies are very loving animals. It just takes them awhile to get used to you.” Rabbits also shed, Barbara said, especially in the Spring and Fall. “That’s when they change their fur, so you have to keep them brushed. They are very clean animals and lick themselves so you don’t have to give them baths.” “The vet cuts her toenails once a year,” she added, “And checks her teeth to make sure that they are OK.” To ensure that her rabbit’s teeth don’t get too long, Barbara gives her chew sticks to gnaw on. This past Christmas, Hopper received several in the shape of pizza, burgers and soda bottles. But, she believes that all the hard work is worth it because, “She‘s the best rabbit in the whole wide world!”

CUSTOM REMODELING

“What in the world is that?” Nipper asked, sniffing my sweater suspiciously. His tail stopped mid-wag and stiffened. “Were you out playing with another animal?” “Maybe,” I replied hesitantly, feeling a bit like I’d been caught with my hand in the cookie jar. “Out with it you twotimer,” he said, heaving a sigh, then moving his nose onto my pants leg. “Don’t lie to me, that’ll just make it worse.” “Alright, it was a rabbit,” I admitted. “A rabbit,” he repeated, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “I see. Now I’ve heard it all. I can’t turn my back on you for five minutes.” “It was a social petting,” I offered, lamely. “It didn’t mean anything.” Well, actually it did, but Nipper doesn’t need to know that. I held a rabbit, cuddled it, even gave it a kiss or two because it was so darned cute. The bunny in question was Hopper, a dark grey, lop-eared rabbit owned by Barbara Nagel of Fort Thomas, a fifth-grade student at Johnson Elementary School. “Bunnies are cute,” Barbara explained, “But they need a lot of care if you are going to keep one as a pet.” The 10-year-old is an expert rabbit keeper, having acquired Hopper from neighbors two years ago. “They got a dog that was part retriever,” she said, rolling her eyes, “And they didn’t play very well together. So they had to find another home for the rabbit.” Barbara’s mother, Sandy, said that before Barbara could take on the responsibility of a bunny, she had to do some research. “I don’t know nothing about birthin’ no bunnies,” she quipped. “Seriously, though, I wanted this to be a learning experience for Barbara. The bunny was going to be her sole responsibility, so I wanted to make certain that she was prepared.” So the little girl headed to the library and checked out a half dozen books on rabbits and their care. She took the opportunity to write a report for school which then went into her writing port-

week keeps us on the right track,” said Rebecca Russell, Fort Wright, first time participant. “I look forward to coming to Town & Country for the weekly sessions and we are all enjoying our weight loss success. Exercising as part of this competition has been great; I would definitely do it again next year.” The Tangerine team with members: Leigh Nassano, Valerie Harmon, John Harmon, Dave Nassano, Rocky Nassano, Kelsey McCaffrey,

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

CHRIS MAYHEW/STAFF

Bill Loos, 78, of Alexandria, has been a volunteer caretaker for the Campbell County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3205 baseball field in Alexandria for 22 years.

Working so others can have a ball Bill Loos, 78, of Alexandria, is a fielding star when it comes to sprucing up the Campbell County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3205 baseball diamond. Loos has been the volunteer caretaker of the Alexandria field since he retired 22 years ago. He receives help maintaining the field from fellow volunteers Dennis Bush and Dan Barone. They’ll be out five days a week weather permitting this year because there’s a ball game scheduled almost every day, Loos said. “I enjoy it, being out,” he said. Loos, a life-member of the V.F.W., served in the Korean War in the U.S. Navy as a flight mechanic for the transport division of the Naval Air Force. Loos said he wants to keep moving. So, he comes to the field and drags and

smoothes the infield dirt with his homemade tractor attachments, cuts the grass, and creates the white infield lines and batter’s box. “I enjoy baseball,” Loos said. Fellow volunteer Dan Barone is the quartermaster for the V.F.W., which in part means he runs the V.F.W. bar. “Bill is by far one of the greatest assets of the V.F.W.,” Barone said. Loos even rebuilt the motor on his own for the garden tractor he was using to drag the field after it broke down, Barone said. There are about 190 members of the V.F.W., and a handful of the members are dedicated volunteers, he said. “Bill is definitely at the top of the list,” Barone said. “He does a marvelous job.” Chris Mayhew/Staff

‘Little Hoopsters’ take the court

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

A mission to find an activity for their 4-year-old led one Bellevue couple to start a new program in the community. Steve and Melissa Tatum looked around at various programs in the community to get their daughter Katie involved in, but found that

many of them are expensive. “We just wanted to find something to get her involved where she could have fun and be active,” said Steve, a basketball coach at Bellevue Middle School. Steve and Melissa got the idea to work with the school district to start a basketball program for young kids, a program that they called Little Hoopsters.

“The district was great to work with,” said Melissa. “Superintendent Wayne Starnes was very for the program and was excited about it.” For eight Saturdays, 27 kids ages 4 to 6 came together at Ben Flora Gymnasium to learn about the basics of basketball. “I think it’s good to start kids out young and get them involved in sports,” said Dana Florence, whose son is in Little Hoopsters. “The coaches who put in their time for this are just awesome.” The Little Hoopsters coaches include retired basketball coaches, volunteers and girls from Bellevue’s middle school and varsity teams. Throughout the two months the kids, broken into four teams, played games against each other. All the kids got a trophy after the last game of the year.

Thomson Reuters names St. Elizabeth in Top 100 St. Elizabeth Healthcare was recently named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals® by Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the quality and cost of healthcare. The award recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency. This is the fifth time St. Elizabeth has been recognized with this honor. “I congratulate all the associates at St. Elizabeth, who are so dedicated to constantly improving the care they provide through their knowledge, compassion and commitment to the people of this region,” said Joseph Gross, president and CEO of St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “We are one of only 26 hospitals in the country to receive this designation five or more times.

institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic.” “What makes this achievement important to our patients is the study conducted by Thomson Rueters demonstrates a measurable commitment to quality and finds the care provided by our organization is consistently among the very best in the country year after year,” added John Dubis, executive vice president and COO of St. Elizabeth Healthcare. Recently, St. Elizabeth was also named to the HealthGrades America's 50 Best Hospitals list for the fourth consecutive year. St. Elizabeth is one of only four hospitals in the United States to achieve America's 50 Best, Top 100 and Magnet ™ status for excellence in nursing care. Each achievement focuses on different areas, with the Thomson Top 100 study looking at a range of benchmarks. The winners were identified

through an in-depth analysis, the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals®: National Benchmarks study. The study evaluated 2,926 shortterm, acute care, non-federal hospitals in 10 areas: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, expenses, profitability, patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, and post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and pneumonia. “The 100 Top Hospitals winners raised the bar again this year, delivering a higher level of reliable care and greater value for their communities,” said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals programs at Thomson Reuters. More information on this study and other 100 Top Hospitals research is available at www.100tophospitals.com.

Marriage more about transformation than happiness

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This is a reprint of Father Louâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. He will be back next week with a new column.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fast approaching the wedding season. It would be fascinating to ask those soon to marry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the purpose of marriage; what are your expectations of what will occur in the coming years, and especially to you personally?â&#x20AC;? And then, to ask them the same question 20 years later. Many years later after his marriage, a man confided to author Gary Thomas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found there was a tremendous amount of immaturity within me that my marriage had confronted. The key was that I had to change my view of marriage. If the purpose of marriage was simply to enjoy infatuation and make me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;happy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to get a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marriage every two

or three years. But if I really wanted to see God transform me from the inside out, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Father Lou need to Guntzelman c o n c e n on Perspectives trate changing myself rather than changing my spouse.â&#x20AC;? Wise man! Very few people preparing for marriage seem to consider that one of the goals of marriage is for their loving relationship to change and transform them. What if God had an end in mind that went beyond our happiness, our comfort, and our desire to be continually turned on as if the world were already heaven? What if God designed

marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? What if some struggle is always involved? The biblical writer of Genesis was extremely wise in the words he selected. For example, in the story of the beginning of human relationships with Adam and Eve, the writer chose a rather unromantic phrase to describe Eve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fitting helperâ&#x20AC;? for the man. The word for â&#x20AC;&#x153;fittingâ&#x20AC;? in Hebrew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ezer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is itself a paradox. It means both â&#x20AC;&#x153;different and equal,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;facing and separate,â&#x20AC;? and a person â&#x20AC;&#x153;in devoted opposition.â&#x20AC;? Eve will not only be one with her lover, she will also challenge him, as will he her. They will help each other become more fully human. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just that marriage is a lot of work,â&#x20AC;? remarks Irwin Kula, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that mar-

riage or any close relationship is a place where you learn about yourself, your shadows and your light.â&#x20AC;? Could that be one of the reasons why the Creator said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good to be alone? For who realistically challenges their own ego? Marriage is a persistent reminder that we are not alone, that our egos are not all that matters. It informs us that there are other people in the world: that they are there, that they are real, and that they are wildly different from the imaginary beings we carry in our fantasies. They teach us about life outside of ourselves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they teach us how to love. Our narcissistic culture, however, leads us to look at others in quite a self-centered way. All these people are out there for me to use, not love.

Eagle Scouts visit Capitol

If they challenge me too much, or resist my manipulations, I can just leave one and seek out another â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or another. Our culture degrades potential relationships. Many of them become mere opportunities for sex-and-thenmove on. Marriage and genuine relationships are those that have the power to transform us. In marriage, a man is given the opportunity of seeing one woman, one person, as he has never seen any other woman or person before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to know himself as he has never known himself before. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mystery of Marriage,â&#x20AC;? best-selling author Mike Mason writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put it simply, marriage is a relationship far more engrossing than we want it to be. It always turns out to be more

than we bargained for. It is disturbingly intense, disruptively involving and that is exactly the way it was designed to be. It is supposed to be more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than we can handle. â&#x20AC;Ś Only marriage urges us into the deep and unknown waters. For that is its very purpose: to get us out beyond our depth, out of the shallows of our own secure egocentricity and into the dangerous and unpredictable depths of a real interpersonal encounter.â&#x20AC;? Do current statistics warrant the estimate that more and more spouses play for a while in the shallow surf, and never get out into the depths? Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@community press.com or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Opera creams will have them singing your praises Easter’s over but I just got a couple requests for this. Georgia, a Campbell County Recorder reader, has been making these for 40 years. Her sister, Sue first told me about these. “Everyone just loves these – better than any commercial brand,” she said. You can free-form these, as well. 4 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 stick butter, softened 11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla 6 cups confectioners’ sugar Cream cheese and butter, then add vanilla. Add sugar 1 cup at a time. Mix well slowly. Form into ball and chill.

BLTA wraps (bacon, lettuce, turkey, tomato, avocado)

A reader saw this on the Food Network and wanted to share. If you want to make these up ahead of time, leave the dressing off until right before you serve it. You’ll use about half of the

dressing recipe. Four 10-inch flour tortillas Leaf lettuce 12 slices deli turkey breast 12 slices bacon, cooked 1 large tomato cut into 16 wedges 1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 16 slices tossed with a squeeze of lime juice Salt and pepper Greens: Either arugula, watercress, spinach, whatever, a couple handfuls Wrap tortillas in barely damp, doubled layers of paper towels and microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds. Or warm in dry skillet. Lay tortillas on work surface and layer the ingredients. Fan the leaf lettuce on the top three-quarters of each tortilla then lay the turkey slices on top, followed by the bacon, tomato, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with

Clermont County Journal reader Char Williams asks: “What are micro-greens?” They’re sprouts of common greens harvested at 1 to 2 inches. You’ll find cress, broccoli, arugula and even clover marketed. Use in stir fries, salads or, as I do, as a garnish. I have my own way of getting these – I just go to my spring-fed pool for the cress and the herb garden for the arugula.

Hulettes receive conservation award

PROVIDED

Jeff and Rachel Hulette, Campbell County Conservation District Cooperators of the Year.

Jeff and Rachel Hulette have been named the 2010 Campbell County Conservation District Cooperators of the Year. This district award is a part of the National Association of Conservation Districts’ recognition program. Jeff and Rachel were nominated for the award by the Campbell County Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Service for their hard work to improve the quality of their land in Campbell County. The Hulettes run a 175-acre farm on the Licking River in southwestern Campbell County. The farm, known as Kenton Farm, was the home of a thoroughbred that ran in the 1928 Kentucky Derby. When they purchased the property it was being leased for tobacco and hay production. The Hulettes enlisted the help of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Campbell County Conservation District, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service, and the Kentucky Division of Forestry to convert

their farm to cattle production. The USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provided financial assistance for fencing to develop a rotational grazing system. Pastures were treated with lime, according to the soil test recommendations, and seeded with clover as needed. Pastures are clipped on a regular schedule to control the growth of weeds and woody plants. One critical issue in any livestock operation is water. Guttering was installed on the barn to capture rain water from the roof. The Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share Fund and EQIP provided financial assistance for installation of the guttering, cistern, pipelines and water tanks to get water to the paddocks for the cattle. The barn has been renovated to accommodate cattle handling facilities to aid in carrying out vaccinations and other routine work to ensure the health and safety of the herd.

NKU ‘Service on Saturday’ is April 10 Northern Kentucky University will host a Service on Saturday event April 10, with service activity both locally and around the nation. Service on Saturday is a collaboration of several departments across the NKU campus to mobilize an estimated 300 NKU students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members to spend a day volunteering to help their neighbors. “Many different NKU student organizations engage in service throughout the year,” said Chatodd Floyd, a VISTA volunteer at NKU who is coordinating the event. “Service On Saturday gives NKU and the greater community the opportunity to be unified and make a difference.” The morning will begin with volunteers meeting at NKU to register and enjoy a free breakfast before dispers-

ing to the service sites. This semester’s volunteer work projects include maintenance at the Fort Thomas Veteran’s Hospital, cleanup for the City of Highland Heights, highway cleanup for a section of the AA highway and a tree planting in Alexandria. This year, NKU alumni and others are encouraged to create their own opportunity to be part of Service on Saturday, no matter where they live nationwide. They can participate by simply gathering family and friends to volunteer for a few hours on the weekend of April 10 at the nonprofit or community agency near their home. Participants are encouraged to wear an NKU jacket, T-shirt or hat as they volunteer. Afterwards, they can share their experiences on Facebook. NKU departments sponsoring Service on Saturday include the Office of

Student Life, University Housing, the Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement, the Kentucky Campus Compact, WNKU-FM and the Institute for Nonprofit Capacity. The community partner is the Campbell County Cooperative Extension office. “We would also like to thank the Learn & Serve America Corporation for making this event possible with the assistance of a service learning grant,” Floyd said. Local projcts will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 1 p.m. Anyone interested in participating can register by em a i l i n g nkuserviceonsaturday@gmail.com. Participants should report to NKU Parking Lot K. Additional information is available at http://sos.nku.edu.

without the help of cost share to prevent soil erosion and protect the natural resources entrusted to their care. A heavy use feeding area was installed by the barn to provide a cleaner feeding area for the cattle while protecting the soil from erosion. Geo-textile filter fabric is used under rock to keep the rocks from sinking into the soil. The rocks provide a surface that can be scraped of manure when necessary, and a filter strip of grasses absorbs nutrients that run off of the feeding area. They also developed a forestry plan with help from the Kentucky Division of Forestry. The plan called for fencing the woods, using funds from EQIP, to keep cattle out of the area and for removing bush honeysuckle and other invasive species.
