compete to raise money for the Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation on Saturday, Aug. 13. The tournament starts at 10 a.m. Two teams will vie for victory each hour until 8 p.m. when medals will be awarded to winners. “This is our second annual volleyball tournament, and last year we only had four teams compete, so we are very pleased with this year’s growth,” said Ryan Courtade, the foundation’s executive director. “You can go to our website, www.play4youth.org to see when the teams play, and what else is going on because we have entertainment and games, fun for everyone in the family.” The volleyball tournament will be at MiddletonMills Road Park at 3415 Mills Road. So far, teams such as Black N Bluegrass Rollergirls, Cincinnati Rollergirls, Democrats, Republicans,
that the Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation is there to help children, and we are very glad to be playing in the tournament. I think we are probably going to win.” Another team that grew out of last year’s generic media team is the Fox 19 team. “I played on the team last year and had a great time,” said Brad Underwood, morning reporter for Fox 19. “We have our own team this year, and we’ve already had a couple practices. I’m excited, and I think we are ready.” Underwood said he wasn’t aware of the good the organization did until he looked into it last year. He says the organization does an incredible job for children and is happy to play in the tournament to help them raise money. “It is going to be a lot of fun,” he said. “This year we get to play outdoors and it promises to be bigger and better than ever.”

Fox 19, Insight Cable, University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, WCPO, WLWT and, of course, the everpopular police officers against firefighters will play. Also going on are games for spectators such as threelegged races, tug-o-war, bubblegum blowing contests, cornhole contests, sack races, a pet parade and a balloon pop contest. Makenna Davenport and Shelby Carper, Second Chance at Eden, Matt Snow - Cincinnati Sinatra, Bobby Mackey, Whiskey Logic, Dr. Hue and Wrecked will provide entertainment. Sasha Cochran, production supervisor for Insight Media, is no stranger to volleyball. Saying her strongest talent is serving, she loves the game on a regular court or sand. “When Ryan approached us last year about playing, we were all on a media team and this year we have a team from Insight Media,” she said. “We love the fact

UNION - The city of Union may soon add an office assistant position. Council members on Aug. 1 held a first reading of an ordinance that would officially create the job. Ezell Leaders learned during the city's January audit report that creating a city position for temporary employee Misty Ezell may actually save the town money when compared to using a temporary employment service. Ezell, the city's administrative assistant, has been working for the town for two years through a temporary agency which bills the city. According to the ordi-
nance, compensation for the position will be between $11.54 an hour (or $18,000 a year) and $16.03 an hour ($25,000 per year.) Ezell currently makes $12 an hour through the temporary agency, city clerk Kathy Porter said. Even including retirement benefits, creating this position will save the city about $6,000, she said. Some $29,640 was budgeted for temporary help in the city's 2011-2012 budget. According to Porter, Ezell works approximately 24 hours a week. Porter said she would expect that to stay the same once the position is created. Officials will hold second reading of the ordinance at the city's September meeting which has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, because of the Labor Day holiday.
