A special place

James Ellis and Marsha Linneman started a special program for children whose lives were touched by cancer 14 years ago. The STARS program has since grown, adding age groups and expanding its mission to deal with pain and loss to adults.

The Erlanger Fire/EMS Department is looking for more explorers to join their program. Assistant Chief Todd Schulkers said the ongoing program is similar to the police explorers, which gives teenagers a chance to learn about the field through a hands-on training and work with the department. The program, which currently has about 12 members, was started about 15 years ago in the city, and has proven to be a great asset to the department, said Schulkers. “We’ve probably had at least a half-dozen of our current firefighters who have come through the Explorers - maybe more,” he said. “It’s been a tremendous benefit to our department, and we’re just looking to keep it growing.” Schulkers said the Explorer program puts the teens through almost everything trained firefighters go through. They are issued gear, and train on various situations they would encounter in the field. They also assist with department functions, and work around the department to understand the policies and procedures, which Schulkers said gives them a leg up once they are ready to enter the work force. “We’ve had some kids come through and do enough with the Explorers that by the time they hit 18, they’ve got almost all of their hours needed for firefighter training out of the way,” he said. “So when they get done with the Explorers, they’re pretty much ready to go right into their career.” Schulkers also said that even if the Explorer decides not to go into firefighting as a career, they still learn valuable job and life skills through the program. That’s one reason why the department has also started offering an internship to local high school seniors, in hopes of preparing them for the job force in whichever field they choose. “Being around adults all day, and seeing the work they put in – I think it helps these kids mature a little bit and get a better understanding of how to approach their career,” he said. “It’s really a win-win for everyone.” The Explorers are accepting applications. The program is open to anyone between the ages 14-18 who wants to learn the basic skills required to go into firefighting.

Sisters open new center By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

The Sisters of Notre Dame are opening up more doors of education in downtown Covington. The Notre Dame Urban Education Center on Eighth Street provides one-on-one tutoring, cultural enrichment and computer skills to Northern Kentucky youth in Kninth grades. “This program is so unique because it’s a one-on-one program and every child has an individualized plan,” said Sister Mary Reinette Kroeger, codirector of the UEC. Since its first day June 7, center volunteers have tutored about 30 children a day with the help of 50 to 60 volunteers, Kroeger said. “The volunteers are really good people who are building relationships that are so good for these children,” said Sister Mary Lynette Shelton, director of the center. Currently the center is running at capacity. More tutors

will be needed for the afterschool program in the fall, Shelton said. Tutors range in age from high school to retirement age. The nuns and tutors cover a variety of subjects with students who need extra help whether that has to do with technology, math, English, science or art. The UEC is also equipped with a library and fitness center. While the center has only been open a short time, Shelton is delighted by the impact already made by tutors. “I think the best part is seeing the reaction of the children who are happy to be here,” she said. Tutoring at the center is free, but donations are accepted to help run it, Shelton said. “We know some of the families wouldn’t bring their children here if we put a price on it,” she said. Kroeger agreed, adding, “We wouldn’t want that to be a deterrent.” Shelton and Kroeger

thanked the approximately 100 donors and institutions that gave money and goods to the education center. “We started with nothing,” Kroeger said. The Girl Scouts Kentucky Wilderness Road Troop 9283, for instance, put together a kitchen for the center. The girls’ families and friends chipped in – donating a sink and sewing curtains while the troop solicited donations from the community. “It’s something that’s going to make a difference in the community,” said Girl Scout Julia Steffen of the center. “Some of the kids otherwise wouldn’t be as prepared for school.” The Notre Dame education center’s summer program takes place from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday until July 16. The center will offer afterschool programs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. once school starts in the fall. Call 859-261-4487 for more information.

Students at Tichenor Middle School can finally put on the pads, lace up the cleats and hit the field. The school will field a football team this fall, following an approval by the Erlanger/Elsmere School Board to adjust the stipend structure for football coaches at Lloyd Memorial High School. Current Lloyd freshman football coach J Lail will serve as the head coach of the middle school team, which will compete in the Northern Kentucky Middle School Athletic Association, against schools such as Walton-Verona, Bishop Brossart and Holmes. “We think this will be a great way to help our kids transition, both athletically and academically, from middle school into high school,” said Lail. “It’s a great way to build school spirit and keep

the kids involved in a healthy and positive activity. It’s really a benefit any way you look at it.” Lail said the startup costs for the program, which he estimated at around $8,000, have already been covered through a combination of fundraisers and donations from the Lloyd Memorial Alumni Association. He also said that future fundraisers, as well as gate receipts from home games, should keep the team financially stable in the coming years. He also added that the team has garnered the support of the Erlanger Lions football program, with both sides feeling they can help each other, rather than compete against each other for players and attention. “That was a big deal for us, and we wanted to make sure the Lions were on board with this,” he said. “We don’t want kids to have to choose one or the other – we’ll

work together so the kids can do both if they want.” Lail said the team will play seven games, mostly on Saturday afternoons, against similar sizedschools in the Small School Division of the NKMSAA, and the team will be open to both girls and boys. Even more importantly, Lail said that academics will be a focal point of the coaching staff. He said that instead of regular practice on Mondays, all team members will have a mandatory study hall, and that the players will have to maintain a certain grade-point level in order to participate. “If you don’t have the grades, you won’t play – simple as that,” said Lail. “Monday will still be an official practice, but instead of offense and defense, they’ll be working on reading, writing and math.” Tichenor Principal Buddy

Schwierjohann said he’s in favor of the idea for his students, and said Lail has worked hard to ensure the long-term viability of the program, even as it’s just getting started. “With the energy that Mr. Lail and everyone has shown in getting this going, there’s no way it doesn’t succeed,” he said. “I think it will really help our kids as they start transitioning to academics and athletics at the high school level, and I think it’s a great idea.” Lail said practice is scheduled to begin in mid-July. “This will be a great character builder, and the parents and kids I’ve talked to are really excited for it,” he said. “Honestly, I’m really excited too. I can’t wait to get out on the field.” For more information about the program, send an e-mail to j.lail@erlanger.kyschools.us, or contact the school at 727-1555.

Elsmere to show off new senior center on June 27 By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

A new elevator. New floors and a new roof. New amenities throughout. Even a new sign outside. Now all the Elsmere Senior Center needs is people. The city announced that they will show off the newly renovated senior center at an open house on June 27. The city received a grant from the Governor’s Office of Local Development to fund the approximately $400,000 project, which began in March. The city’s financial

match was approximately $80,000 for the project. “We’re excited that it’s finally completed, because it’s been a lot of work by a lot of people to get to this point,” said councilman Marty Lenhof. “But the center looks great now, and I think everyone’s going to be enjoy it.” Perhaps the biggest change to the center is the addition of the elevator, which replaces the old chair lift as a way of shuttling guests between the two floors. Not only will the elevator be more efficient than the chair, but it will enable

Construction workers from Straight Edge Concrete began work on the elevator shaft outside the Elsmere Senior Center in March. The center will host an open house to show off all of their renovations on June 27. more than one guest to use it at one time. “That’s probably the most significant addition, and that is going to pay huge dividends over there,” said Lenhof. Because the original project bids came in lower than expected, Lenhof said they were able to add several smaller projects to the design, including the new

roof and a new water heater. They also upgraded the sign out front. “It looks really sharp right now,” he promised. “It gives the whole center that ‘new’ feel.” And although the center remained open during the construction, director Carol Cope said she hopes to see more than the regulars visiting now. The center draws

visitors from all over the area, but Cope and Lenhof have said they would like to see more local Erlanger and Elsmere residents involved with the activities there. “We have a lot of people who come there, but we want to see that number grow,” she said. “We want people to know the center is open to all seniors, no matter where you live.”

The open house will run from 2 p.m.-4 p.m., and light refreshments will be served. A number of local officials are expected to attend, including the mayors and council members from both Erlanger and Elsmere. The Elsmere Senior Center is located at 179 Dell Avenue.

Report outlines Vision 2015 progress Vision 2015 released its fourth annual report to the community since the 2006 launch of the Vision 2015 “Shaping Our Future” community report. The hard copy report takes a focused approach to highlighting community progress and continued collaboration. Since its inception, Vision 2015 has been an intermediary; connecting the dots so that the right people and organizations are identified for the right tasks. Vision 2015 also has a broader role: bringing leaders and creative thinkers to the table in order to promote systemic, sustainable change in nine Northern Kentucky counties and in collaboration with groups throughout Greater Cincinnati. The 2009-2010 annual report provides examples of Vision 2015’s role as a catalyst for progress and highlights key successes and challenges faced by our region. The piece also summarizes community accomplishes over the past five

years and thanks those who have taken an active role in moving this community forward. “Vision 2015 outlines clear goals for the community, but developing and implementing the action steps that must be taken to achieve the vision takes focused effort and sustained commitment from partners across all sectors of our community. This report is one small way to feature key community projects and to thank those that have contributed so much to them,” said Andrew (A.J.) Schaeffer, chair, Vision 2015 Regional Stewardship Council. Among the projects highlighted in the report is the transformation of the Northern Kentucky Council of Partners into the Northern Kentucky Education Council, a renewed body that includes representatives from the education, business, and community sectors including The Education Alliance of Northern Kentucky and the Vision 2015 Education Implementation Team. The council

will serve as the conduit for the established regional goals in education. Developing well prepared, well-rounded, and civic-minded children through teaching lessons of service, or Service Learning, is also highlighted as a key community initiative that has experienced great success. To date, more than 20,000 children in Northern Kentucky have completed a service learning project and more than 2,400 teachers have been trained. Under the leadership of Children, Inc. more than 120 partners are involved in this work. In conjunction with the annual report, Vision 2015 is also launching a redesigned website which features a modern look and streamlined site navigation for easier use. The fresh format has been updated with new content on the latest developments taking place in each of the six focus areas of Vision 2015.

Villa Hills honors Spille, an early homebuilder in city By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Villa Hills Mayor Mike Sadouskas paused before handing a gift to longtime resident Joe Spille at the June 16 city council meeting.

“Now I’m sure you don’t need this, because you’re probably already welcome at any place you want to go here,” said Sadouskas, as he presented Spille with a key to the city. “But it’s a pleasure to be able to recog-

nize you and all you’ve done for our city.” Spille, one of the city’s first homebuilders and a former city tax assessor, was honored at the meeting for his work in helping to grow the city, which is celebrating their

48th anniversary this year. In addition to the key to the city, Spille was also given a proclamation from Sadouskas and city council, as well as proclamations from Kenton County Sheriff Chuck Korzenborn and Kenton County Judge-

Executive Ralph Drees. The founder of Spille Builders and Developers Inc., Spille helped build and design many of the early neighborhoods in the city, including around the Buttermilk Pike area, doing his

best to give each area a unique feel. “I just tried to make all of the houses a little different so they would stand out,” he recalled. “I enjoyed what I did, and this is truly an honor for me.”

Test next step for private streets By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Residents of the Fort Wright Trace subdivision filled the room at Fort Wright’s caucus June 16. The subdivision’s residents petitioned the city to take over their private streets some months ago in an effort to correct an inequity: while private street residents pay full taxes, they do not receive city snow removal and street maintenance. Fort Wright Trace is made up of two homeowner’s associations and 200 residential units that spend about $30,000 each year for snow removal. Before making a decision either way, the city offered to cover half of the $5,000 cost to do a sampling test to determine if the main road, Castle Hill Lane, is up to subdivision standards. The other half would be divided by the HOAs. At the caucus, residents also dis-

cussed the other options if the street cannot be turned over the city, including a tax abatement on city taxes similar to that recently passed by Crestview Hills. Another proposed abatement for private streets residents could be toward the street tax, which Fort Wright could place on the November ballot. “We’re wanting to find some kind of solution for everybody,” said Mayor Joe Nienaber Jr. If taking over the street is viable, however, subdivision residents may have to pay for a cul-de-sac that will allow city snow removal trucks to turn around. “How much is the real total ball game going to cost us?” said Mike Sweeney, president of the Fort Wright Trace HOA. “If we go to the cost to do the testing, what all would be encompassed in this?” “We can’t give you a cost because we don’t know the condition,” City

Administrator Gary Huff explained. Were Fort Wright to give the residents a tax rebate similar to Crestview Hills’ instead of making the private streets public, residents would save about $5,000 off the top of the $41,000 the subdivision pays to the city in taxes. However, City Attorney Pete Summe said an abatement on the street tax, if passed, makes “more sense.” “It sounds more reasonable than just a general tax rebate,” he said. Both home association presidents expect their boards to make a decision about the street quality test soon. Fort Wright Trace Council of Coowners President Barbara Renaker believes there won’t be any hesitation to pay the $1,250 for the test. “If we can work things out to get the city to take the streets or at least Castle Hill, I think the associations would all be on the same page,” she said.

Fort Mitchell cancels meeting The Fort Mitchell city council meeting scheduled for Monday, June 21, was canceled. Instead, the council will hold a special meeting on June 28 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers, located at 2355 Dixie Highway. The meeting will be open to the public, although per state regulations, discussion will be limited to the agenda

The Villa Hills city council is expected to look into a potential cap on the amount of vehicle stickers a household with multiple drivers would be required to purchase. In 2008, the council approved an ordinance to raise the vehicle sticker fee from $8 to $40 to help raise additional funds for road repair and maintenance. The ordinance requires every Villa Hills driver to purchase a sticker and display on their vehicle, and it also includes a Homestead Exemption for seniors. The current fiscal year 2010 revenue from the vehicle sticker fee is $190,300, and city clerk Polly Richardson estimated the compliance rate with the stickers is about 90 percent. However, the council has heard some complaints from households with multiple drivers, such as families with older children or children who are attending college out of the area. Since

the ordinance requires that every Villa Hills driver to purchase a sticker no matter how much time they spend in the city, the council agreed to look into the possibility of capping the maximum number of required sticker purchases by each household, or even lowering the vehicle sticker fee once a certain threshold has been reached. The council discussed setting the cap at either three or four stickers as the maximum per household. In both cases, all of the drivers, even those who didn’t purchase stickers, would still be considered in compliance with the ordinance. Mayor Mike Sadouskas asked the council to table a reading of an ordinance at their June 16 meeting that would have set that cap at three stickers per household, instead asking the council to look over some figures before making any decisions. “This issue is one of the biggest complaints we hear about the stickers, so it’s something we want to look

Friday, June 25 Grant County High School Dry Ridge, KY Registration and voting: 4:30-7:00 p.m.

into and make the best decision,” he said. According to figures provided by the city, there would be 196 fewer vehicle sticker fees if the cap were set at three stickers per household, meaning a potential revenue decrease of $7,840 if the stickers were kept at full price. If the sticker price was simply lowered to $20 (instead of capping the total number) after the third purchase by a household, the potential revenue loss would be $3,920. If the maximum were set four stickers per household, it would mean 45 fewer stickers purchased for a potential revenue loss of $1,800, or $900 if the fee were just lowered to $20. Although the ordinance was tabled at the meeting, several council members still weighed in on the potential cap. Councilman Mike Pope questioned whether the city should be making a decision that would lower their revenue, especially with a number of roads needing work. The council is expected

to discuss the issue further at the next council meeting, although it’s unclear if there will be a first reading of an ordinance to set the cap. The next meeting is scheduled 7 p.m., July 21.

Luke Cooley couldn’t contain his excitement as he fed a bottle of milk to Megan, a three-week old African goat, in the large field in front of Miles Elementary. “She’s really thirsty,” he said, watching as Megan guzzled down the milk. “She must really like it.” Cooley was among approximately 22 children at the Miles Elementary summer program who enjoyed a visit from Sunrock Farm on June 18. The summer program, run by Tracy Molley of the school’s family resource center, is being funded by a grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. During the visit, the kids got to pet a rabbit, feed the goat, see a duck and some baby chicks, and even touch a small, but energetic, baby pig. The kids also learned some interesting facts from “Farmer Frank”, including what each animal eats and how to care for them. For more information about Sunrock Farm, visit www.sunrockfarm.org.

Reading No. 1 at Piner Elementary By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Piner Elementary’s Summer Reading Program registration has broken records. The program has steadily grown since its beginning in 2006. This summer brought the highest showing of students with 198 kids registered for the sixweek program, topping last year’s number, 140. “I think it’s just word of mouth,” said Assistant Principal Kim Carnes. “The kids who have come year after year continue to tell their friends how much fun they have.” Students are bused to the school once a week for crafts, literacy lessons, activities and lunch. During the day, they are then bused to the William E. Durr branch of the Kenton County Public Library to check out two books each week. Students who read during the summer are more likely to retain their learning from the previous school year, Carnes said. “We took our end of the year results from May 2009 and then compared them to the beginning of the year reading results in August 2009. We found that 75 percent of students in the program maintained or improved their reading score,” she said Carnes credits school business partner Ticona Plastics Division and staff volunteers with the success of the program. “Fifty percent of our kids wouldn’t be able to come without bus transportation and Ticona provides funding for that,” she said The 2010 program kicked off June 17 with students stopping by the library for their first two summer reading selections. This is third-grade student Tia Howe’s first year in the program. “I thought it would be fun,”

Zoe Whelan, who will be a sixth grader in the fall, chooses a book at the William E. Durr branch of the public library during the Piner Summer Reading Program June 17. she said. “I pretend to teach people, so I always, always have books.” Soon-to-be fourth grader Caden Dosier has participated in the summer reading program since kindergarten. “It’s really fun. You get to learn new stuff and do a bunch of new activities,” he said.

The Fourth Annual Piner Summer Reading Program kicked off strong at the Independence branch of the Kenton County Public Library June 17. Students checked out two books to take home and learned about the summer reading perks at the library.

Wolff, Carl lead Metropolitan golfers

bBy James Weber jweber@nky.com

Northern Kentucky women’s golfers fell short of the Greater Cincinnati titles in the Metropolitan Women’s Amateur Championship June 14-17 at Clovernook Country Club in Cincinnati. Two golfers made the championship semifinals. Boone County High School graduate Emily Wolff, a member of Twin Oaks Golf

Course in Covington, lost 3 & 1 in the semifinals. She ended her college career at Western Kentucky University last fall, recording WKU’s best average for the year and winning a tournament hosted by Murray State. Alex Carl, a Notre Dame Academy graduate and member of Triple Crown Country Club in Boone County, lost in 19 holes. She is a current college player at the University of Cincinnati.

Jordan Redfield, a Beechwood grad and Fort Mitchell Country Club representative, lost in the quarterfinals. She is entering her sophomore season at Georgetown University this fall. Villa Madonna grad and Twin Oaks member Sarah Stamper also lost in the quarterfinals. She played her last season at UC in 2009. There were five other flights for golfers who didn’t make the 16-player cham-

pionship flight. In the first flight, Kristin Lottman, an NDA grad and Twin Oaks member, lost in the semifinals, as did VMA grad Katie-Scarlett Skinner out of Twin Oaks. Lottman is the 2009 Northern Kentucky women’s amateur champ. Jilian Brake, a Notre Dame grad out of Traditions in Boone County, lost in the quarterfinals, as did Boone County grad Madison Wallace out of Ft. Mitchell

Country Club. Brake is playing for Murray State and Wallace for Georgetown College. The second flight had a Beechwood flavor, Beechwood 2010 grad Paige Gooch, also a Fort Mitchell member, lost in the semifinals. Beechwood head coach and Fort Mitchell member Lori Eberle lost in the quarterfinals. In the fourth flight, Deana Clarke from Triple Crown, a Walton-Verona

graduate, lost in the quarterfinals. She was a finalist in the 2009 Northern Kentucky amateur tourney. Area women will prepare next for the Northern Kentucky Women’s Amateur Championship to take place July 6-9 at Triple Crown. The men’s amateur is July 12-15 at Hickory Sticks.

Pete Rose Jr. named Freedom hitting coach By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com

ADAM KIEFABER/STAFF

Pete Rose Jr. was hired to be the hitting coach for the Florence Freedom Sunday, June 20. Rose Jr., 40, played professional baseball for 21 seasons, which included a 1997 appearance for the Cincinnati Reds.

The Florence Freedom announced Sunday, June 20, it hired Pete Rose Jr. as its new hitting coach. Previously, Rose Jr. was the manager for the Florence Freedom for a four-game period in 2004. According to him, this is “technically” his first coaching job in professional baseball. Currently, Rose Jr. provides private hitting lessons for high school and other ballplayers in Fairfield, Ohio. He also has volunteered his time in the past to help the Freedom hitters.

“We’re thrilled to bring in Petey to be our hitting coach,” Florence Freedom manager Toby Rumfield said. “He’s been by voluntarily before to work with our guys and they’ve been really receptive. He’s going to be a great addition.” Rumfield and Rose Jr. have been friends ever since they roomed together as members of the Chattanooga Lookouts in 1997. “Once you make friends like that, they are friends forever. It doesn’t matter what you do or where you go you always stay in touch,” Rose Jr. said. “He just said, ‘Hey, do you want to come over to

be the hitting coach?’ And I said ‘sure.’” Ironically, the year Rumfield and Rose Jr. roomed together, was Rose Jr.’s best in professional baseball. That season, Rose Jr. had a .308 batting average, slugged 25 home runs and had 98 runs batted in for Chattanooga before getting a September call-up to the big leagues. That year, Rose Jr. played in 11 games for the Cincinnati Reds. For Rose Jr., whose dad, Pete Rose, is Major League Baseball’s all-time hits leader, it was obviously not his first experience on a big league baseball diamond. “It was normal, but it wasn’t,” Rose Jr. said of his childhood. “Dad

was dad and just did what he did and we got to grow up at the ballpark, around great teams and great players. It is kind of weird to say, but it was kind of normal.” Rose Jr. played at Oak Hills High School in Cincinnati and was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 12th round of the 1988 amateur entry draft. He went on to play 21 seasons in professional baseball, finishing with 1,924 minor-league hits and two major-league hits. Currently, Rose Jr. lives in Cleves, Ohio, with his wife of 14 years, Shannon, and two children, Peter Edward Rose III, 5, and Isabel Marie Rose, 3.

How do you plan to spend your summer? “Visit parents (87 years old) in Philadelphia, drive to Williamsburg to attend a three-day tax education seminar (I’m a CPA). My wife will fly in on Friday and we will explore Williamsburg and the Blue Ridge Parkway for a week. Fly to Orlando to attend five-day IRS seminar and fly to Tanzania for a wildlife photo safari for 3 weeks at the end of August. In between, lots of walking and ‘honey dos.’” FSD “I’ve been retired for a long time now (nearly 20 years), and have been away from the threeday/week part-time job I held for about six years. “Old fogeys like me don’t see much of a change in our activities when summer rolls around. So my routine will remain pretty much the same. “We really can’t afford much travel, but I’m OK with that. So I’ll keep doing what I already do: helping my wife with the household stuff she did for years (cooking, laundry, etc.), corresponding with friends and family, working out, helping our daughter with her two little ones, and enjoying leisure time in our yard or patio with our great neighbors.” Bill B. “Working! I work at a publishing company, and summer is our busy season. Vacation time won’t happen until at least September.” J.S.B. “Our daughter is getting married here in Cincinnati this Saturday. We are having a brunch Sunday for out-of-town family and friends. As soon as the brunch is over we’re heading up north to our Michigan cottage for a week of R&R (recovery and rehabilitation) – and hopefully cooler weather! “Our typical summer is spent back and forth between projects around the house here and time spent at the cottage. Very relaxing and well worth the long drive.” M.M. “Plan to spend it enjoying the kids, the great Cincinnati summer and all the things to do around here locally instead of a big family vacation. Looking forward to rediscovering all the great things this city has to offer, including time with your family.” C.J.G. “We usually take our vacation

Owen needs new leadership As customers of Owen Electric, we are also its owners. We are also owners of East Kentucky Power (EKPC), the cooperative that generates our electricity. We are one of 16 distribution co-ops in central and eastern Kentucky that jointly own EKPC. EKPC is mismanaged both by its top staff and its board, which is made up of representatives from the 16 distribution co-ops. These are the conclusions of a management audit that the Kentucky Public Service Commission required EKPC to have. To boil it down, EKPC has created a mess. One result is that our electric rates are higher than surrounding utilities, and that’s likely to get worse because EKPC has not been addressing the underlying problems. In fact, EKPC just asked for another rate increase. EKPC’s approach to “fixing” the problems is only making things worse-and putting the coop at ever increasing financial risk. Either continuously rising rates or the financial collapse of EKPC will jeopardize our region’s economic health, our jobs and our competitiveness with surrounding areas. The auditors pointed out that

EKPC hasn’t responded effectively to their recommendations or those of several previous reviews going back almost a decade. Because Tona Barkley of this, the audirecommendCommunity tors ed that “The disRecorder tribution cooperguest atives ... should columnist take the initiative now to change direction. ... Such a review must be ... from the member level to be effective.” That means us, people. About a year ago, I tried to attend Owen Electric board meetings to learn more about my coop. I met a closed door. I even made a formal request for a change in the closed-meeting policy, but the board replied with a solid “no.” Yet I know there are other cooperatives that have open meetings – as any organization founded on democracy and member ownership should. Our co-ops are in dubious shape, yet we the members can’t respond

because we have almost no way of knowing what’s going on. The current Owen Electric board members have served anywhere from eight to 46 years. No one in memory has ever attempted to run against a board-nominated candidate. But the time has come for some new blood on the Owen Electric board. Dallas Ratliff and I are running for the board of Owen Electric as independent candidates, nominated by a petition signed by members. Dallas and I will ask the difficult questions and press for a Members’ Bill of Rights to allow members to observe what’s going on and put Owen Electric and EKPC on a better course that will save members money and create good, local jobs. Members can attend the Annual Meeting at Grant County High School Friday, June 25, and vote in this historic election any time between 4:30 and 7 p.m. A photo ID is required. Vote to bring openness and democracy back to Owen Electric. Tona Barkley is retired from KET, where she served as director of communications, and lives in Owen County with her husband, John Harrod.

“As a teacher, I use the summer to rejuvenate. I reflect upon the year that has ended and try to come up with different ideas for the next year! “We’re headed to a new school and I’d like to use newer things. I’m thinking ways to renew my teaching style, too. I’m a bit excited and a little bit scared about the move. It will definitely be an exciting time. “I’m also taking a few days with my husband to fly to Vegas. That will be fun before all of the big changes!” M.E. “I plan to spend my summer actively campaigning for all local, state and national conservative Republicans for the November elections. We need to take our country back – we are heading down a path of bankruptcy and destruction as a democracy.” N.W.S. “Loafing.”

Liven up your summer with reading fun at library Are your children already bored with summer break? Are they breaking the bank with trips to expensive entertainment venues? Save your money and stop the boredom by joining the Kenton County Public Library Summer Reading Club. Summer Reading Club isn't just for children, the Library has fun programs and prizes for teens and adults too! My 8-year-old son Joey is filling his log as quickly as he can by reading the “Encyclopedia Brown” books. After five books, children receive a book. After 10, they

receive a backpack or a T-shirt. They can keep reading for chances to read a bike! My 11-yearold daughter Andi has begun requesting YA books.

The grand prize is a laptop! Adults earn one raffle ticket for every book read or program attended. One winner is drawn every week and prizes include $25 gift cards to local venues. This summer's programming is fantastic, not to mention free. All three locations will have a mid-summer ice cream social. The Durr Branch will have fireworks at its social, Erlanger will feature Mike Hemmelgarn and Covington

will be entertained by Terry Francis, the Magic Man. I think my kids will be sure to make all three of these events! Family game and movie nights, puppet shows, cooking programs, fitness programs, concerts and so much more will be offered all summer long. I don't want to forget the great genealogy programs, as well as the computer and job-skill classes. You don't have to have a library card to attend programs. However, getting a library card is free and easy. Just bring a current ID or piece of mail. Not only will my children be entertained, but Andi and Joey

Daycare focuses on fun, learning Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean the learning has stopped at Cornerstone Child Development Center. The Erlanger-based daycare, a ministry of Christ’s Chapel Church, has plunged right into their summer lesson plans as part of their year-round learning program. Started about 15 years ago, the center is open to kids from the age of six weeks old to preschool, and currently has around 40 kids enrolled. Administrator Mary Reed said she feels the staff’s

commitment to education, as well as their spacious facility sets them apart from other daycare centers. “We have a wonderful staff, and it really is a pleasure coming in each morning,” she said. “I feel like this is the best job in the world, because we get to impact the lives of kids in a positive way.” Enrollment for the fall semester will open in late summer. For more information, call 647-6800 or visit www.christschapel.net.

Farmer’s market in MainStrasse

The Northern Kentucky Regional Farmer’s Market will be in MainStrasse Village Saturday, June 26, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The market will include mushrooms, onions, apples, baked goods, pumpkins, flowers and more. For more information, call 292-2163.

Even after 14 years of success stories, there’s still two words that James Ellis values above the rest. “When somebody is able to come back and just say ‘thank you,’ that’s when you know you’ve done your job,” said Ellis, a bereavement care coordinator at Hospice Care of St. Elizabeth and co-founder of the STARS program. “When you can make a positive impact and help someone through a tough time, it really is a rewarding feeling.” Ellis and Marsha Linneman of Linneman Funeral Homes co-founded the STARS program in 1996, wanting a way to help children and teenagers deal with the death of a loved one, whether it was a parent, sibling or relative. Using what they call “grief groups,” the program allows children to meet and interact with others their age who have had similar experiences, using a variety of activities to allow the kids to connect. The program is run through the help of around 25 volunteers, and has grown from three small children’s groups in 1996 to seven larger children’s groups, as well as four adult groups, now. The program runs for eight weeks in the fall, and for nine weeks in the winter/spring. “We just felt there needed to be something for kids here in Northern Kentucky, and it’s been a great success,” said Ellis. “It’s hard for kids to really get a grip on something like death at a young age, and being around their peers can really help them to understand their emotions and feelings better.” Vivien Finnigan, child and family counselor with Hospice Care, said that often when a child loses a loved one, their self-esteem and confidence can suffer as they wrestle with their emotions, and one main goal of the STARS program is to help them rebuild that confidence. “When the kids find out they’re not

During a closing ceremony of a recent STARS program, children released balloons, each carrying a message to their loved one. The program helps children deal with the loss of a parent, sibling or relative.

STARS Summer Day Camp

The day camp will be held July 7 at Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. The camp is limited to 30 elementary-age children, and the deadline to register is June 30. The cost is $25 per child, or $50 per family. Scholarships are available for families who need financial assistance. For more information, or to register, visit www.starsforchildren.com or call 2920244. alone in what they’re dealing with this, it really can help them in the healing process,” she said. “It’s a form of positive peer pressure - seeing others go through tough times and grow from it can inspire them to do the same thing.” And while the results aren’t always immediate, Ellis said they’re well worth it when they do arrive. “It’s hard to measure, but when you’re around the person, you can start to notice some changes,” he explained. “It may be a smile, or the way they interact with everyone else, or even just how they enter the room. It’s sometimes hard to describe, but you know when someone is making strides, and that’s what keeps us going.” Ellis and Finnigan also pointed out that the program has expanded to include some adult groups well, with a

focus on teaching parents and guardians how to help their child handle grief. “It’s hard for parents to know how to help their children through these situations, so we wanted to help them as well,” said Ellis. “The biggest thing we tell our volunteers and the parents is to normalize grief and work with the kids on being comfortable with it, rather than just trying to hide or forget about it.” While most of their work is done in the grief groups, STARS will also be sponsoring a Summer Day Camp at Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder on July 7 to allow kids to enjoy a day of fun and learning. The camp will include a special visit from Circus Mojo, a children’s program that teaches kids tricks and games in order to help them gain self-confidence. The camp will also include breakfast and lunch. Finnigan said the camp will allow the Hospice staff and volunteers to reach the kids even more, and help them through their struggles. “When something bad happens, you have a choice how you deal with it,” she said. “That’s what we try to help the children realize - that they can get through this and they’re not going to have to do it alone.” For more information about the camp, visit www.starsforchildren.com or cal 292-0244.

Becoming the ‘Mentalist’ in our own drama For several years the “Mentalist” has been a popular TV show. The “Mentalist” is a man associated with a police investigation team seeking to solve various crimes. The police carry weapons, he does not. His “weapon” is his psychological insightfulness. What an advantage it could be for us to become the “Mentalist” of our own life story! Many of us develop dubious behaviors at times. We constantly come late for work, we drink and eat or spend too much, endlessly watch pornography, tell secrets we’ve promised to keep, flirt and begin affairs we know we don’t want to continue, etc. We choose enough perplexing behavior to make us wonder at times, “Why do I do the things I do?” To be our own “Mentalist,” one of the most helpful questions we

can ask ourselves about our irregular behavior is, “What am I getting out of this?” Such a question is helpful because we Father Lou never do anyGuntzelman thing that does Perspectives not reward us in some way. For example, we water our flowers not essentially for their sake but for ours. We want beautiful flowers to look at, decorate our homes, create curb appeal, express our artistry, etc. That’s not wrong. But there is a personal underlying reason for watering our flowers. Our deepest reason for doing something is not usually the obvious one. It emanates from within us, from our unconscious.

I am wary of anyone who thinks he or she knows the exact reason for their every action. True, for some behaviors we do know; but most are motivated by deeper personal reasons. It might be helpful to know them. Here is a list of an awareness some people actually gained about themselves. Remember, we’re unique, and the reason in one person’s unconscious life is not necessarily the same reason operative in another’s life. • A woman was significantly overweight though she frequently dieted. With the help of a competent counselor she discovered that unconsciously she wanted to be obese. She did not want to appear too physically attractive. For then she would have to deal with men, sexual issues and intimacy – all of which she deeply feared for reasons she soon realized. • A man occasionally won-

dered about his promiscuous behavior and engaging in casual sex with so many women. With psychological help he came to realize he had never really loved anyone or been humanly close. His promiscuity fooled him (and others) into thinking he was a great lover when he really didn’t know what love is. • A woman was rigidly religious. At first she had inklings that it meant she was holy or saintly. As she later came to discover, she had unconsciously chosen rigidity because she was afraid of dealing with the uncertainties of life, her ambiguous feelings, and the fear of making wrong decisions if left to herself. She was afraid of her imperfect human nature. So she had turned over dealing with her own life to precise religious demands rather than genuinely think, reflect and

choose on her own. That meant she could never be blamed, for she did as she was told. She saw herself as perfect. Her life was not challenging since someone else had written her script. Why do we act the way we do? It suits us in some way. Some of our reasons are healthy, wholesome and indicate a growing person. And some indicate we are an unhealthy or frightened person trying to protect ourselves from the demands of life. Our actions are a language that – when interpreted correctly – tell us if we are growing into the person God made us to be, or not. To live life well requires intense self-deception or deep courage.

Out-of-network lab work could cost you It’s something we always have to be careful about when seeking out a doctor: We must make sure they’re in our health insurance network. But even if you do that, there’s more to check to avoid getting hit with a large bill. That’s what a Bridgetown woman learned after her daughter broke out in hives. Rebecca Surendorff’s 9month-old daughter, Nora, had tasted some ice cream when it became apparent she was allergic. Her pediatrician suggest-

ed contacting an allergist, so Surend o r f f called her health insurance company to find out who was in-net-

work. “They referred me to a website after telling me all office visits and all office testing is covered,” Surendorff said. She went to the doctor

who treated Nora and ran some tests. “Three months after we had in-office testing, a skin prick test and a blood test, I got a bill for over $600,” Surendorff said. The bill indicated the charges were for tests so she immediately called her health insurance company. “I was on the phone with them for many hours,” said Surendorff. “They also told me maybe I shouldn’t have had the blood drawn. I thought am I qualified to make this decision?” The problem was the

doctor’s office had sent the blood for testing to a lab that wasn’t in her health insurance network. As a result, she was hit with that large lab bill. She complained to the doctor’s office but said she got nowhere. “They were both blaming each other. The insurance company said I should have been more aware and the doctor’s office should have assisted me more,” said Surendorff. “The doctor’s office said basically that’s how their billing is – that the insur-

ance company knows this,” she said. Surendorff said the next time she called her insurance company she told them it would be all right to talk with me about this issue because she had already notified me of this problem. Two hours later, she said, she received a call from her insurance company. Surendorff said she was told, “As a one-time courtesy they will be paying the bill. In the future, I now know that I must make sure that all of our lab testing is done

with this specific company.” A spokesman for the insurance company said consumers should talk with their doctor about any lab work to be performed. Find out where the lab work is being sent and check it out. Sometimes, he said, you can save a significant amount of money if you direct the lab work to be sent to a different provider – one that is in your particular health insurance network.

Scream for easy berry ice cream

I can hardly keep up with Mother Nature this week. Everything is ripening a couple of w e e k s early. First, our sour pie cherry tree had so many cherries Rita on it that Heikenfeld t h e branches Rita’s kitchen w e r e bending. I did get out to pick the ripe ones with granddaughter, Eva, who at almost 21⁄2 is able to pick by herself. I made a nice batch of cherry jam with what we picked. We took a walk through the garden and spied very ripe black raspberries which must have ripened overnight. So we picked a batch of

anything that comes from God’s good Earth a gift. I just need to clone myself to get everything done!

Easy double berry ice cream

Eva and I made this with frozen strawberries and freshly picked black raspberries.

COURTESY OF RITA HEIKENFELD

Rita Heikenfeld’s granddaughter, Eva, helps pick berries. those, too, and I think Eva ate as many as she picked. We wound up tossing some of them into homemade ice cream. When I went for my evening run, ripe mulberries were scattered here and there on my old country road. I’m not complaining, though, since I consider Mon-Sat 8-7 • Sun 10-5

Arista

This is a pork dish that is really delicious. If you’ve never tried fennel with pork, you’ll be surprised at the flavor. Fennel has a slight licorice taste with savory overtones. My fennel, both the Florence (that’s the kind with the big white bulb) and my bronze (which has a long tap root similar to a carrot) are growing well enough to harvest some leaves from them. Like everything else in the garden, the fennel already needs pruning. 2 pounds pork tender-

Trim tenderloins and set aside. Preheat oven to 425. Mix garlic and fennel together. Add enough olive oil to make a paste. Stir in parsley. Rub this paste all over tenderloins, and if you have any left, make tiny slits in tenderloin and insert rest of paste in there. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reads 160 degrees. Don’t overcook.

From reader John Augustin, who loves to cook as much as I do. He said: “This barbecue sauce recipe won a trophy a few years ago at the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest.” Now if you don’t have the powdered hickory smoke, just leave it out.

• What is London broil? It’s a method of cooking a steak that has a real crisp

crust. It’s not a cut of beef. • Are brown eggs more nutritious than fresh? No, shell color is not an indicator of quality, just the reflection of the breed of the hen.

Can you help?

Radio rolls. A reader would like a recipe for these. They’re called radio rolls since they’re flat and round. This, and the color, which is tannish brown, reminds people of the old fashioned radio dials. German bakeries made a specialty of these. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

Tips on how to care for your wooden deck A wooden deck can be an attractive addition to a home offering additional entertaining space during the year’s warmer months. Decks can also be a major investment that with a little care can remain looking good for years. It doesn’t take much work to keep your wooden deck looking good. Regularly remove dirt, mildew, and tannin (plant) stains to help wood last and look better longer. Keep debris from collecting in the gaps and joints. This allows the wood to stay dry by exposing it to the sun and air. Otherwise, pressuretreated wood may darken and mildew while other woods may rot and eventu-

ally require replacement. Occasionally sweep or hose foliage and other large debris off your deck. Remember, the longer sticks and decaying leaves sit on the surface, the more chance they have to stain and rot the wood. Twice a year, lightly scrub your deck using a solution of warm water and a few squirts of liquid dishwashing detergent and a stiff-bristle brush. Check with a home improvement store for a deck brush with a broom handle so you don’t have to do this on your hands and knees. Every two years or so, give your deck a more thorough cleaning. You can use a two-step

fiber brush and a mild detergent. Otherwise, the wood won’t absorb the finish. Rinse well and allow time to dry. Time your work to avoid direct sunlight when applying the finish. Don’t apply a finish if rain is expected within 24 hours. Allow enough time to complete the job, based upon your basic mechanical skills and speed. For an 8-foot by 10-foot deck, time estimates range from four hours for an experienced person to eight hours for a beginner. You have two choices for penetrating materials for finishes – sealers and stains. Sealers are transparent unless you buy a pigmented

scrubbing method as outlined in the UK publication, “Hit the Deck! Care and Maintenance of Outside Decks,” or, if you’re handy with tools, you can power spray. Decks take a great deal of abuse from rain, snow, wind and sun. Although you can’t change the weather, you can prolong the life of your deck by applying a finish. Ideally, wooden decks should be refinished in the fall, if needed, and kept clear of snow and ice during the winter. Before applying a finish, clean the deck’s surface. If the deck has previously been finished with a sealer, you will need to sand off any glossiness using a stiff

sealer. They prevent wood from absorbing water and delay the effects of weathering. Select one with a mildewcide to prevent mildew and rot. Stains both color and seal the wood. They’re useful for covering up the green tinge of pressure-treated lumber. Semi-transparent stains tint the wood but allow the wood grain to show. Solidcolor stains can be as opaque as paint. You have options for applying the finish. A paint brush will take longer than either a standard roller or an

Laffalot camp delivers summer fun A unique summer camp is coming to Fort Wright which aims to exercise the whole body, including the funny bone, for elementary school age kids. Laffalot Summer Camp, which is being brought to

airless sprayer. However, a brush is easier for some people. Many professionals use an airless sprayer. Although it’s fast and easy to use, be sure to protect the siding of the house and the ground underneath in case of overspray. Also, choose a day with little or no breeze. It’s wise to start by spraying the understructure of the deck first. This gives you a chance to learn the technique before doing the more conspicuous upper side.
