Churches get ready for Vacation Bible Schools By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
ALEXANDRIA — Area churches are where the action is for children during summer break when it becomes vacation Bible school time. At Plum Creek Christian Church in Butler, vacation Bible school isn’t a single week, but rather a series of summer events. “What’s happened with us for VBS is it has just become more difficult to get kids five nights a week, and we’ve tried to become
more intentional to spread out events,” said Jared Perkins, children’s minister. One of the biggest events will be a sports camp for children in grades K-5 at 9 a.m. July 28, Perkins said. Children will participate in six 30-minute sessions of different sports including soccer, cheerleading and basketball. Perkins said he’s working on lining up at least one more sport. In between playing time, there will be sessions using sports concepts found in Scripture, he said.
“We’ll be tying it all into sportsmanship and the principles of teamwork or unity and things like just how we treat one another,” Perkins said. The church will also have events just for preschoolers and trips to the zoo, aquarium and laser tag, he said. A family day Aug. 5 at Kincaid State Park in Pendleton County is aimed at not only children, but bringing all generations together before going back to school, PerSee VBS, Page A2

Independence Celebration returns to Fort Thomas
By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com
FORT THOMAS — From an even bigger car show to a nationally sanctioned cornhole tournament, organizers for the City of Fort Thomas's second annual Independence Celebration are working to make this year's event bigger and better than last year. Renaissance manager Debbie Buckley said after the Fourth at the Fort committee reached its goal of raising enough money to construct a new amphitheater in Tower Park in 2010, the city took over hosting a similar event on Fourth of July weekend. "It's just such a great family event, we didn't want to see it end," Buckley said. During the inaugural year, city employees didn't really know what to expect, but got a good idea of ways they could improve the event in the future, Buckley said. This year the event, which follows the city's annual Fourth of July parade, will feature more activities like a petting zoo, pony rides and more. The event will also feature wine in addition to serving beer and host more bands. One of the biggest additions is the cornhole tournament, which will be put on by the American Cornhole Associa-

"A lot of people play cornhole in this area, so we thought a tournament would be a fun way to bring more people out," Buckley said. The hope is that local churches, streets and other groups will form teams to compete against each other for a
variety of cash prizes, Buckley said. National cornhole champions will also be attending the event, giving local residents a chance to see how they compare to the professionals. Like last year, the event will feature a classic car show. Linda Stapleton Slone, one

of the car show organizers, said organizers have done some research and visited other car shows to improve this year's show. While last year's show had a little more than 50 cars, this year organizers are expecting a least 100, Slone said. "We hope this year will be even more fun and interesting for people," Slone said. "We learned a lot last year, which was the first year the city's had a car show in 20-something years." This year's show will feature a variety of vehicles, including a 1959 Greenline tank bus and more. Slone said organizers are still looking for sponsors and are hoping more local businesses will get involved. The $10 donation organizers ask from those entering cars goes towards the Fort Thomas Military and Community Museum. The Independence Celebration is from 3-10:30 p.m., with the car show running from 37:30 p.m., Saturday, June 30, in Tower Park. Like last year, the event will also include food, games, inflatables and fireworks. For more information about the event or being a sponsor, contact the Fort Thomas Recreation Department at 7811700.

Shelter hosts open house By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
MELBOURNE — With a new addition to the Campbell County Animal Shelter complete, people are being invited to paw around the place during a June 16 open house. The shelter, located at 1989 Poplar Ridge Road, will have an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 16. The county paid more than $160,000 for the shelter addition, in part with $133,500 from a state grant and with private donations given to the animal shelter. The new 1,350-square-foot addition allows the shelter to separate sick or aggressive animals from the regular kennel area, said Lisa Bowman, shelter director. "The addition that will be used for animals that are either wild, mean or scared," Bowman said. Bowman said she is already using the area to house a pregnant dog and another dog, a pit bull, that probably won't be able to end up being adopted. A grooming area was also added as part of the expansion, she said. Previously, the shelter's medical area was the same place animals were groomed, Bowman said. A new storage room was also added, which is something the shelter "desperately needed," she said. Rev. Robert Rottgers from St. Philip Church in Melbourne will be at the shelter at 11 a.m. June 16, for a special ceremony, Bowman said. "He'll be here to bless the animals," she said. Members of the Campbell County Fiscal Court are also expected to visit sometime during the open house, Bowman said. Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine said all the match money for the grant came from public money that was donated, and the open house is to make sure people see the addition now that it is complete. "That's the main thing is to let people see what their donations and the grant funded," Horine said.

Alexandria council opposes library tax By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
ALEXANDRIA — Alexandria City Council voted 4-1 Thursday, June 7, to oppose a possible 27-percent increase on property taxes levied by the Campbell County Public Library Board of Trustees. Plans are under way for a new South Branch library south of Alexandria’s city limits on land next to Parkside Drive and U.S. 27. The library board embarked on a capital campaign this spring to raise some or all of the estimated $5 million needed from private do-
nors and is expected to decide in July whether to implement a property tax increase to pay for the new branch. The resolution asked the “Board of Trustees to delay consideration of a tax increase to fund construction of ‘The South Branch’ until the capital campaign is completed.” Council member Barbara Weber, sponsor of the resolution, said the city isn’t opposing the idea of constructing a library, but is asking the library to consider whether they really need to increase taxes right now.

the library, summed up feelings on the issue. Morgan said that he was disappointed by the action of Alexandria City Council. “I do not feel that the council’s action, however, is representative of all of the people of Alexandria,” Morgan said. “There are 8,000 library cardholders within the Alexandria zip code. If they feel differently than their elected representatives, then I think they should take the opportunity to speak with them.” Council member Stacey Graus was the lone dissenting voice to vote against the resolution.

campaign under way by the library, less than a 27 percent tax increase might be needed. Maybe the increase could be as low as 4 percent, she said. “If this money is levied against the citizens, let’s say this 27 percent, and the capital campaign fund is successful, you don’t think for one minute they’re going to give the money back do you?” Weber said. Kiki Dreyer-Burke, director of public relations for the library, said the library would not respond to Weber’s comments, and that a statement released by JC Morgan, director of
ern Kentucky Women’s Outpost began meeting at the Newport Peace Bell in 2003. “The purpose is to hear testimonies by women that inspire others and help them through their own issues,” said Northern Kentucky chairperson Nickie Hornsby. “It is helpful for women to hear these messages from other women because it gives them hope.” During the meetings, attendees listen to live music, hear a testimony, then go out for dinner and socialization, Hornsby said. Over the years, the group got bigger and bigger, outgrowing the Newport facility, causing them to move to Highland Hills Church in Fort Thomas this summer. The theme this year is “Renew the Hearts of Women,” with speakers talking about topics ranging from overcoming addictions, raising a disabled child, turmoil in marriage,
giving everything over to God and dealing with difficult pasts. Speakers will include a recovering alcoholic and a former atheist. “Women today face so many moral issues and are so busy with different commitments, our hope is that they take the time to come to our meetings and get the support they need,” Hornsby said. While the group will now be meeting at Highland Hills, it has no ties with any particular church or denomination. Hornsby said the group is made up of women of all ages, with one of its very active committee members being only 17. The hope, Hornsby said, is that more young people will join the group. The meetings are from 7-8:30 p.m. on Monday evening June 18 and 25 and July 2, 9, and 16. For more information and a schedule of speakers, visit www.outpostwomensministries.org.

CALIFORNIA — Brandon Buckler's "Buddies" will remember the 12-year-old boy, and his wish to help people affected by tornadoes, by throwing a benefit rodeo. The "Broken Horn Rodeo" will be at the Pendleton County Fairgrounds with the gates opening at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 16. Buckler, of California, died May 1 after a battle with Gaucher's disease. It's a rear disease with symptoms that included the swelling of his spleen and liver, said Carrie Ackerson, of California, the head of "Brandon's Buddies" and a family friend. The event will raise money to assist Buckler's family with financial relief for funeral expenses, with a portion also going to benefit local tornado victims, Ackerson said. Ackerson said she initially started "Brandon's Buddies" last year to raise money for a wheelchair ramp for his home. Now the group is working to help pay for a tombstone that was purchased for Brandon and to help fulfill his wish to help local tornado victims. Ackerson said Brandon was always full of laughter and was "just a great kid." The tornadoes that hit the Peach Grove area, not far from the family's home, left an impression on Brandon, and he talked lots about wanting to help the people affected, she said.
Brandon Buckler of California poses at a portrait studio in Alexandria prior to his death May 1, 2012, at age 12 after battling Gaucher’s disease. A group of friends known as "Brandon's Buddies" has organized a rodeo on June 16 in Falmouth to help pay the costs of a tombstone and medical bills and also to help with local tornado relief efforts. THANKS TO CARRIE ACKERSON That's why about half of the money raised from the rodeo will be going to Flagg Springs Baptist Church's tornado relief fund, Ackerson said. "Brandon lives only maybe two miles from that church, and I haven't told them yet," she said. Ackerson said she hopes to make the rodeo an annual event and donate to local schools or fund scholarships in his name next year. The rodeo will be sanctioned by The International Professional Rodeo Association and Mid States Rodeo Association. To help remember Brandon, Ackerson said she also donated 30 tickets to the Campbell Lodge Boys Home in Cold Spring so its residents can attend the rodeo.
Tickets for the rodeo are $12 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-9. Admission is free for children age 5 and younger. For information call Carrie Ackerson at 859-462-2095.

ALEXANDRIA — The second Sermon on the Mount faith-based horse show will be a collaboration of four Campbell County Baptist churches to reach out to their equineloving congregations. This year’s Sermon on the Mount will be at the Alexandria Fairgrounds from 7-9 p.m. Friday, June 29, and Saturday, June 30. The sermon shows are free to attend and will go on rain or shine.

Churches coordinating to host the event include Grants Lick Baptist Church, Second Twelve Mile Baptist Church, Persimmon Grove Baptist Church and Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church as well as The Northern Kentucky Baptist Association. Grants Lick Baptist Church hosted the first Sermon on the Mount in August 2010 by bringing in Lew Sterrett of Ransom Wind Ranch in Oklahoma. Sandy Stull, a member of Grants Lick Baptist Church, said Sterrett uses horses in various stages of training to “encourage and strengthen families as they witness Biblical relationship principles.” To view Sterrett’s methods visit his website http:// sermononthemount.org/. The idea is for the churches to reach out to area horse enthusiasts by using a language they understand, said Grants Lick Baptist Pastor Tom Wilkes. “We have a lot of people in our congregation that like horses,” he said. “That’s their hobby, and it seems to be a pretty significant hobby in the county.” The hope is for the sermon to create a common connection to help people understand there is a better way to live life, Wilkes said.

It is free to attend both nights. Many people who don’t spend lots of time around horses still like to see the animals in action, Wilkes said. “Even if you’re not a horse person, it’s still interesting,” Wilkes said. Sterrett will also be at Grants Lick Baptist Church for Sunday July 1, and a barbecue lunch will be served after services, he said.

shows, he said. The June 29 show is titled “Grace that transforms” and the June 30 show is “Four secrets to the greatest riches on earth.” The central focus of the Friday night show will be an “unridden, unsaddled but halter-broke horse” between 2-4 years old, Wilkes said. “I’m guessing after he is done that horse will trust him,” he said of Sterrett. About 700 people attended the first Sermon on the Mount in 2010 at a private ranch in Foster, Ky., he said. The hope is to draw at least that many people or more to the Alexandria

COVINGTON — Instead of conventional learning of the ABCs, some students in Northern Kentucky are exploring literacy while helping sight-impaired students. They are reading into a tape recorder that can be listened to while fingers trace along Braille. Others, looking to beautify their school, used geometry to determine how many flowers to plant on a plot of land and how much it would cost. For the past eight years, Children Inc., a nonprofit based in Covington, has made these service learning projects possible. The organization is celebrating its 35th year of helping youngsters. “(Service learning) is when students take something they’re already learning in the curriculum and use it to help somebody else,” said Children Inc. director Rick Hulefeld. “Instead of just talking about it or reading about it, they’re making it into a project.”

More than 800 teachers in Northern Kentucky Schools are helping students to understand the skills they’ll need to help others when they’re adults. Service learning isn’t the only sector of Children Inc. that’s helping local children, though. Mike Hammons, who took over as the organization’s director of advocacy in November 2011, was awarded the Gary R. Bricking Community Leadership Award from the United Way of Greater Cincinnati. Hammons, who is quick to give the spotlight to all of Children Inc., said he is happy to be able to speak out on behalf of children thanks to their help. “Nobody does it better,” Hammons said. “I’m lucky in that in this stage of my career this still challenges

decorative farm pieces. Turner said she likes to keep the shop’s collection eclectic and affordable so people who live nearby will want to come back again and again. The shop itself is inside what was once part of a general store in Grants Lick. Turner said she and her husband completely gutted and remodeled the building. In the process of remodeling they found an old sign in the attic now hanging on the wall of a former business that operated in the building: “Peters Shoes” operated by J.S. Sheanshang. Turner said she added a Campbell County artists corner because she was once a sculptor and wanted to give the store a “homespun” feel. There are broken wings stained glass angels made by Doug Studer, paintings by Debbie Browing, 3D architectural work in wood by Mike Enzweiler and pottery from Bethany Rose. Turner said she also sells her mother Nancy Wagner’s books (under the pen name Nancy Orlando) in the shop including memoirs about growing up during World War II and two children’s books. The shop also includes a second story area where Diana Tomlinson of Grants Lick sells women’s clothing including dresses and shoes. Turner said she’s trying to give people more reasons to come to the main business area of Grants Lick, and has planned a yard sale in her parking featuring 25 or more vendors selling everything from jewelry to clothes. The yard sale event is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 30. Turner said she is also planning a Christmas in July theme for the shop for the last two weeks of that month. Grants Lick’s main business district starts on Clay Ridge Road starts at U.S. 27 and continues for several hundred yards toward Grants Lick Elementary School. Grants Lick is small, but more than 100 years ago it was a very busy area with businesses serving local farmers, Turner said. “We’re a small area, but we need to get some action going here on Main Street so to speak,” she said.

Summer camps offer active options
By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
ALEXANDRIA — Whether athletic or academic, Campbell County Schools summer camps are in full swing. The district has camps available for students to brush up on their science and math skills at the middle school level, an introduction to middle school camp, and camps for students to practice and learn almost any sport in the district. And “Camp Compass,” offers students the opportunity to take a learning journey at home or anywhere they are by logging into “Compass Odyssey” program to complete assignments they earn points to use for prizes during one of three shopping dates. Girls fastpitch softball was one of several athletic camps to start in the first several weeks after the end of classes. Varsity high school coach Sandi Kitchen said it was the first time the district has had a fastpitch camp. It’s also Kitchen’s first year as the varsity fastpitch coach. “Fastpitch in this area has not been as popular as the slow pitch,” Kitchen said. “We’re kind of in a transition period.” Jessica Walsh of Alexandria, who will start sixth grade in the fall, said the fastpitch camp is fun. Walsh alternates playing the positions of short stop and pitcher. Walsh said she was learning

ALEXANDRIA — Success has followed the Campbell Ridge Elementary School academic team for the past three years. The team has won the regional title in the annual Governor's Cup competition since 2010. Regionals are the top competition for elementary schools. Middle school and high school academic teams compete in state competitions. The Campbell Ridge academic teams of fourth- and fifth-graders have been district champions for the past seven years – since the school opened, said team coach Pam Manker. Taking the next step to become regional champions three years running has been extra special, Manker said. Manker said many of the students from this year's Campbell Ridge team will be going on to the middle school next year. This year's team of students were especially bright and they liked to try and learn new things, she said. "They're just very enthusiastic and willing to do whatever it takes to be champions," Manker said. The Campbell Ridge team has placed first in quick recall category at regionals in 2010, 2011 and 2012. In quick recall competition students buzz in answers to questions as quickly as they can. And Campbell Ridge's team has gone undefeated in all of their matches for three straight years, said Jen-

Guckien said Campbell Ridge's academic team have placed in the top five on the individual written assessments at either the regional or district competitions 136 times since 2006. Students compete individually on written assessments in the areas of: math, social studies, language arts and humanities, arts and humanities and composition. Guckiean said she has had two children taught first by Pam Manker – as have many of the academic team students on the middle school and high school teams.
Donn Manker, Pam's husband, and their son Christopher Manker (all teachers in the district), are also academic team coaches at the high school level. "Pam, her husband Don, and son Chris have quite an academic dynasty going in Campbell County," Guckiean said. "The Campbell Ridge academic parents call it the 'Manker Dynasty.'" Fifth grader Trent Guckiean, Jennifer's son, said Pam Manker is always encouraging and challenging the team members. "She is a kind-hearted person who is always looking out for each team member," he said.

LEXINGTON — Josh Cain got his team to the ninth inning June 7. His Newport Central Catholic baseball teammates made sure to remind him that after the Thoroughbreds’ season ended with a 1-0 loss to Henderson County in the state quarterfinals at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Cain, NCC’s junior ace pitcher, had just allowed the winning run to score in the bottom of the ninth on a throwing error that was officially ruled to be a balk. It was about the only mistake he made during a masterful pitching performance against the Colonels. After the game, teammates, coaches and fans hugged him and patted him on the back. “I think everybody was in shock,” NCC head coach Jeff Schulkens said. “Josh is a competitor. He has another year. This will make him more determined to be a leader next year and get his team back down here.” The extra-inning loss ended NewCath’s season at 25-17 with one tie. NCC reached the elite
eight for the second straight year. Cain pitched the entire game, breezing through the first eight innings on 83 pitches. In the ninth, he gave up a one-out double to leadoff batter Kaleb Duckworth, just the second Colonel hit. Avery Pitt reached on an error with Duckworth going to third, giving No. 3 batter Justin Cessna, a .491 hitter, a chance to win the game. During the at-bat, Pitt took second base without a throw. Then, not realizing Pitt was no longer at first base, Cain spun and threw a pickoff throw to that base. The ball went into right field and Duckworth scored easily to end the game. The play was scored a balk because a pitcher cannot throw to an unoccupied base, so Duckworth would have been awarded home plate no matter what. Regardless of the semantics, Cain vowed to make up for the error. “It’s the worst feeling ever. It’s terrible. I don’t know what I was doing that last inning,” Cain said. “I was just worried about the batter. I wasn’t thinking.” Said Schulkens: “I had every

confidence in the world Josh would get out of that in the last inning. He has nothing to be ashamed of. He threw a great ball game.” Cain didn’t give up a hit until the fifth inning, and got out of a major jam in the sixth inning, after a pair of NewCath errors put runners on second and third with nobody out. Cain induced a groundout, then struck out the leadoff hitter Duckworth before getting the No. 2 batter Pitt to fly out to right. NewCath’s best chance came in the seventh, with a runner on third and one out, but the runner was caught off third base after a groundout to the pitcher. NCC left a runner at second in two previous innings. “Both teams had their opportunities,” Schulkens said. “They had an opportunity and we got out of that with a couple of good plays, and we had an opportunity with a guy on third and we just missed putting a squeeze down and we had a baserunning blunder. I felt we just needed to get one run. We kept trying. Their kid threw a heck of a game, too.” NewCath seniors are Matt

Bluebirds send seniors off on high note By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com
The Highlands baseball program wanted to send out it seniors class on a high note. Coming off of a six-win season in 2011, the team had nowhere to go but up. The Bluebirds exceeded their own expectations and advanced to the Ninth Region final. First baseman Mitch Meyer is the team’s lone senior starter. His teammates rallied behind him, along with fellow seniors Grant Duesing and Chris Bausch. Starting on Senior Night against Cooper May 7, the Bluebirds won nine of their next 10 games. “We all came together on Senior Night and we kept it going from there,” said junior pitcher Gabe Schultz. It was a dream-like season for Meyer, the team’s only everyday senior. Despite the disappointing 2011 campaign, Meyer entered 2012 with expectations of qualifying for the regional. A district championship and two regional wins were icing on the cake. “Once we won the district, I was extremely happy,” Meyer said. “Everything else was just a bonus.” His teammates were happy for their motivating leader, too. “Mitch works hard every day,” said junior Quentin Murray. “He came in with a positive attitude, and everybody fed off of him.” Added Schultz: “Mitch is a lovable guy. It was great to send him off with a season he could be proud of.” As the winning streak grew and the Bluebirds advanced deeper in the postseason, the team gained confidence and felt more relaxed. They started playing music over the PA system at practices. The players bonded over team breakfasts and lunches. They relished their role as underdogs and the support they received from their rowdy student cheering section. “We just kept having fun and stayed loose,” said Schultz. The bar has been set very high for next season. While the Bluebirds will miss Meyer’s contributions, every other starter returns. Freshman pitcher Mitchell Jones will be expected to take a big leap after pitching like a veteran down the stretch this sea-
Park 3-2 in the first round. Woltermann had two hits and two RBI. Junior Connor Bartels pitched a complete game, giving up three hits and one earned run while striking out eight. Follow James on Twitter @RecorderWeber

son. The Bluebirds will have a strong class of seniors next year, each intent on claiming the Ninth Region title. “I’m pretty excited about what we have coming back next year,” Murray said. “It’s a good feeling going into next season with a lot of positivity.” For Meyer, looking ahead to next year is bittersweet. He is proud of what the team accomplished in his senior season and he looks forward to seeing how far the Bluebirds will go next year. “I think they can win the region
next year,” he said. “It’s pretty cool seeing where this program is going. I’m excited to see what this team will do next year and it’s nice to feel like I helped lay the foundation.” The feeling coming off of an 18-win season is much different than it was a year ago after a six-win season. The Bluebirds are hungry and eager to build on the late-season success of this year. “If baseball season started tomorrow, I’d be ready to go,” said Murray.

» Northern Kentucky University men’s golfers Corey Richmond and Steve Rickels were named to the PING All-Midwest Region team. The men led the Norse to six tournament victories this season, including the program’s sixth Great Lakes Valley Conference championship. Richmond, a sophomore from West Chester, Ohio, highlighted his season by taking the medal at the GLVC Championships with a three-round total of eight-over-par (77-7473 for 224). Over 31 rounds of play, Richmond averaged 74.61 strokes per round and was ranked the No. 15 player in the region according to Golfstat. He claimed three top-10 performances apart from the GLVCs, including top-five finishes at the Wasioto Winds Fall Kickoff and The Shootout in Arizona. Rickels, a junior from Independence, Ky., was another consistent top performer for the Norse, landing four top-10 finishes himself, including a medal performance at the UW-Parkside Invitational last fall. Golfstat tabbed Rickels as the region's No. 9 player after the junior posted a scoring average of 74.23 to lead the Norse. Rickels was also chosen as an All-GLVC performer by a vote of the league1s coaches. NKU finished the season with a seventh-place result in the Midwest/ South Central Super Regional. NKU has reclassified to NCAA Division I and will compete as a full member of the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2012-13.

Bike & Build trek not always smooth So much has happened in the past week. Days on Bike and Build feel way longer than normal days. Wake up has been between 5:30 Jessie Modrall and 6 a.m. since our ridCOMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST ing began. The COLUMNIST morning hours are best for riding due to lower temperatures, lighter traffic and less headwinds. We wake up and pack our bins which are then loaded into our support trailer. After breakfast and a short route meeting to pass out directions and go over some information about the day we are free to set off in small riding groups of two to six riders. Lunch is placed at the halfway milage for the day, so it is not unusual to have eaten breakfast, lunch and a snack all by 10 a.m. I have discovered I am hungry all of
the time. There is pretty much nothing I, or any other rider will turn down. This past week of riding was a rough stretch, and one of our longest if the trip. We had eight ride days in a row, and on our third day of riding we were told we had a 63 mile day ahead. We quickly noticed a directional mistake which meant our route was really closer to 80 miles. Well, after the directions led us down a dirt road, unnavigable by bike, most riders got to the church after riding more than 95 miles. Sometimes it's hard but we have to remember there are no bad days in Bike and Build. Some are just harder than others. On Memorial Day, we biked from Defuniak Springs to Pensacola in what turned out to be a very nerve racing and long day. A few riders were inches away
from being hit by an RV that thought it was appropriate to pass on a one-lane stretch of road with no shoulder. Though I was not directly involved I watched the two riders in front of me collide in an effort to not be hit. No one was hurt but it was a jolting reminder of the danger we face on a daily basis. Later in the day we battled strong headwinds and anxious motorists as we traveled alongside the beach. We were all relieved to make it safely to the host. But, I didn't escape without getting two flat tires. We've crossed our first state line into Alabama and rode our first 100 mile ride in the process. We crushed 60 miles before 12:30 p.m. with just enough of a break to refill water bottles in order to catch the ferry that would allow us to ride into Mobile without taking the interstate.
What to know before calling 911 Dale Edmondson Community Recorder guest columnist The staff at the Campbell County Consolidated Dispatch Center would like to share a few points of information that are important when calling 911. Everyone knows that 911 is accepted as the number for handling emergencies. However, most people do not have much experience in calling 911. Under normal circumstances with traditional telephones, technology provides the source of the telephone call to the 911 dispatcher. This function is similar to the caller ID that many have in their homes, except the dispatcher’s screen will also show a street address. Dispatchers are trained to verify this information as quickly as possible. Yes, they will be abrupt in conversation. The location of the emergency is the single most important component of an emergency call. Second is the ability to regain contact with the caller in case of disconnection for any reason. Please understand that emergency dispatchers are trained to be very direct and to the point in an effort to improve efficiency. A call to 911 is not a casual conversation, but a highly important exchange of information.
Cell phones and 911
Cell phones do not give a street address location for the origin of a 911 call. The best case scenario is a latitude and longitude that will place the call at an approximate location on a map. That is very helpful if the caller is in a sparsely populated area, not so helpful in the middle of an urban area. Please understand if you are calling from a cell phone the dispatcher will concentrate first on where you are and how they can regain contact if needed to verify the location. It is quite common for cell phone emergency calls to be
routed to the wrong 911 center based strictly on the cell tower the phone has connected thorough. This is especially common in heavily populated areas like Northern Kentucky. The problems are compounded by: » Callers that are excited or nervous (as many are during an actual emergency) » Callers that are not sure of their location, (this is frequent on the interstate system) » Callers that have weak batteries – loss of service » Callers that experience a signal drop during the conversation. For these reasons 911 calltakers are now asking for contact information of the caller as soon as an emergency is reported. Do not panic. While the call-taker is soliciting more information from the caller, a dispatcher is sending help to the location. It is not unusual in some circumstances for a 911 dispatcher to try to keep callers on the line until help arrives at the scene. If you have connected to the wrong 911 center, then the dispatchers will transfer your call to the center that they think should handle the call. Be patient. What feels like forever generally only takes a matter of seconds. In some counties in our area multiple dispatch centers are operating, so there is a slight chance that you may be transferred more than once.
VoIP or Internet-based telephony
The next wave of communications technology is called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The idea is to utilize your wideband Internet access as your telephone service. There are a few issues to deal with specific to 911: » Does your VoIP provider automatically connect you to 911? » What location is assigned to your VoIP telephone connection? » Is your device portable?

» What happens if you dial 911 on your VoIP telephone and you are away from your assigned connection or location? » Does your workplace use a central telephone exchange system that does not reveal your true location? Finally, a note about alarm system monitoring, the dispatch center does not monitor alarm systems. We do not accept automatic dialers into the dispatch center. Those types of systems have been unacceptable for more than 10 years. If you have an older alarm system, then you may want to verify that it is actually going somewhere. As you can see there are several important issues involved in the migration away from traditional telephone systems. Please take the time to verify how your system or product works. If you have any questions please feel free to call our administrative office 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday at 581-3622. Dale Edmondson is the director of the Campbell County Consolidated Dispatch Center.
We made it, but were all pretty hungry having skipped lunch to give ourselves more ride time. Finally making it into Mobile was a huge accomplishment and we were able to spend two days here building. We accomplished a lot at two different build sites, priming, painting and even laying laminate flooring. Next we rode to Biloxi and the ride was beautiful and we were in no rush to make it to our destination. We cruised in around 3 p.m. and took our time exploring the city. Tomorrow we ride into New Orleans and have our first day off for the summer as well as five more build days. Jessie Modrall is a 22-year-old native of Fort Thomas.

Summer is prime time for outdoor eating, food-borne illnesses
Countless Northern Kentucky fields and parking lots are transformed each summer from their usual, mundane functions to ones filled with food, rides and music. Summer in our region is prime time for outdoor parties, fairs and festivals–and outdoor eating. Not surprisingly, foodborne illnesses also rise in the summer months. When we leave the kitchen to prepare our food, we leave some Lynne Saddler of the safety COMMUNITY measures beRECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST hind, including thermostatcontrolled cooking, refrigeration and hand or dish washing facilities. On top of that, we’re dealing with the elements of summer weather, like 90-degree sweltering heat and blistering sunshine. Whether it’s a hamburger stand, a deep-fried corn dog booth or a shaved ice cart, the health department issues a permit for all temporary food operations. We’re quite busy in the summer. In a typical year, about 600 temporary permits are issued. A health inspector visits each booth before it opens to ensure that the required standards of food safety are maintained. Even at a temporary booth, good food safety practices can be maintained. It just takes a bit of effort. When you visit a food booth, consider these questions before placing an order: » Does the vendor have a clean/tidy workstation? » Does the vendor have a sink or spigot for employees to wash their hands? » Does the vendor have a way for employees to avoid contacting the food directly with their hands, such as gloves, tongs or spatulas? » Does the vendor have equipment to maintain appropriate food temperatures—keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold? » Is a current permit from the

Health Department displayed? The vendor is only part of the equation, though—your actions can also help reduce your risk of food-borne illnesses. First, be sure to wash your hands often. This includes before eating, after touching any animals, after using the restroom, after playing games, after going on rides and after changing diapers. If hand washing facilities aren’t available, hand sanitizers are a good backup. Next, be careful with food out in the elements. It’s best to purchase or prepare food right before you’re ready to eat it. Try to plan just the right amount of foods to take or buy. That way you will not have to worry about the storage or safety of leftovers. If, despite your best efforts, you suspect that you have a foodborne illness, then report it to the Health Department. You can call our Epidemiology office at 859363-2070 or visit www.nkyhealth.org. Inquiries or complaints regarding food service providers can be directed to the Environmental Health and Safety office at 859-341-4151 or via our website. Often, reports from concerned citizens are how outbreaks are first detected. If someone from the Health Department contacts you to find out more about an illness you had, your cooperation is important in helping us complete our investigation. Everyone is at risk for foodborne illness. It’s common. About one in six Americans get sick each year and it’s costly, about $77 billion each year. As with many public health threats, it’s preventable. This summer, as you cruise the midway searching for a special treat, pause to consider food safety before you order. Before you eat, pause to clean your hands. Then find a shady spot, sit back and enjoy the sounds, smells and tastes of summer. Dr. Lynne M. Saddler is the district director of health for the Northern Kentucky Health Department.

Library building up Lego clubs By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
COLD SPRING — Fun is just around the block at the Campbell County Public Library with the creation of new monthly Lego clubs at the Cold Spring Branch starting this fall. Groups of children started stacking Lego pieces to kick-off the creation of the clubs during The Great Lego Challenge at the Cold Spring Branch Tuesday, June 5. Grouped into older and younger age groups, children and teens competed in timed competitions lasting 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 25 minutes. Dylan Rechtin, 15, of Bellevue, said he collects and builds Lego Star Wars sets. Rechtin said he’s built the “Millennium Falcon,” the space ship flown by Harrison Ford’s character Han Solo. “I like Legos and how you can build anything you can come up with,” he said. The June 5 Lego challenge attracted about 20 participants, and other children judged their final work. About 5,000 Lego blocks and pieces were spread out on table for the competition. Tyler Poe, 13, made a boat during the 10-minute timed building challenge for teens. “Legos are cool, you know,” Poe said. Poe said he likes playing with Lego blocks and Mario action figures at home. There will be a children’s Lego club starting for fun, said Clara Gerner, adult and teen services librarian at the Cold Spring Branch. Teens will have their own Lego club at Cold Spring, and in the fall there will be a four- or six-week “Lego University” class for advanced builders to learn how to do build architectural elements and “fancier stuff,” Gerner said.

The Carrico/Fort Thomas Branch is also planning Lego programs, but has not planned a regular club, said Kiki Dreyer-Burke, a spokesperson for the library. For information about joining the teen or children’s Lego clubs at the Cold Spring Branch call 859781-6166.

JUNE 14, 2012 • CCF RECORDER • B3
Ribs a good dish for Father’s Day I still chuckle when I ask my husband, Frank, what he wants for Father’s Day. His answer has never varied in all the years we’ve been married: “Some peace and quiet and barbecued ribs.” The ribs are the easy part … and are still his favorite. The peace and quiet is another matter. Remember all the dads in your life, biological and otherwise. As I tell you each year, send a card, give them a call, or invite them to join in the feast.
Grilled baby back ribs
Brine for up to 4 pounds of ribs: This is optional, but I hope you take the time to do it, since brining is a way of increasing the moisture holding capacity of meat, resulting in a moister product when it’s cooked.
1 cup Kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 1 gallon cold water
Dissolve salt and sugar in water. Brine 4 hours, remove from brine, pat dry and proceed with rub. Rita’s rub: Sprinkle ribs with rub up to a day head. Leftover rub can be stored in the frig. Mix together: 6 tablespoons garlic powder 3 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cumin 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper 2 teaspoons Spanish hot or sweet smoked paprika or regular hot or sweet paprika 2 teaspoons allspice
Ribs: 4 pounds meaty baby back pork ribs, cut into portions To season ribs: Sprinkle rub on both sides. Put on baking sheet and cover with foil. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to l day. To grill ribs: Grill ribs over medium heat until tender and cooked, turning occasionally, about 25-35 minutes. Then baste with sauce. Brush each side generously. Continue grilling until sauce forms a sticky coating, about 3 minutes
per side, brushing more sauce on as needed. Serve, passing more barbeque sauce Rita alongside. Heikenfeld My hot RITA’S KITCHEN and smoky barbecue sauce After cooking, adjust seasonings, adding more vinegar, etc. if you like. I always add more brown sugar to make it taste similar to Montgomery Inn’s. 4 cups catsup 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/3 to 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 cup molasses 1/4 cup yellow mustard 2 tablespoons Tabasco 2 tablespoons rub (see above) 2 teaspoons liquid smoke or more Chipotle pepper powder to taste or 1-2 chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, chopped fine (or couple shakes cayenne – go easy on the cayenne if using)
Combine everything in saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until dark and thick, about 20 minutes.
Re-seasoning cast iron cookware
Several of you have asked about this. And if you are ever lucky enough to come across an old American made cast iron pan, like Lodge or Griswold, don’t hesitate to buy it. In my opinion, these gems are still the best as far as quality of iron and workmanship. Log onto my YouTube channel (Abouteating.com) to see my video on seasoning iron skillets. Here’s the most current information. This is what Lodge cookware recommends, and they are an American company manufacturing American cast iron. Lodge’s recommendations are only slightly different than my video, which was made a few years ago. Wash cookware with hot, soapy water and a stiff brush. (Lodge says it’s OK to use soap this time be-
Salvation Army launches Miles for Smiles June 16 Community Recorder The Salvation Army in Newport is seeking individuals to participate in its inaugural Miles for Smiles Bike Tour. The tour will take place Saturday, June 16, starting at 7 a.m., at The Salvation Army Community Center in Newport, 340 W. 10th St. “We’re excited to implement the bike tour as a new fundraising concept,” said Lt. Dennis Knight, pastor of The Salvation Army Newport Community Center. “A lot of people participate in bike tours of this nature all over the country, and there was local interest in the idea, so we decided to give it a try. I’m praying that we’ll have a strong level of support, which will help us off-set expenses associated with our various youth programs.” The bike tour trail will originate in Newport and largely follows the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail north to The Salvation
Army’s Camp SWONEKY near Oregonia, Ohio. Those wishing to participate in a 50-mile tour will end at the camp, with provisions for transportation back to the Newport facility. Those continuing for the 100-mile tour will complete the round-trip back to the Newport facility on their bike. Participants and sponsors are sought for the event. Participants are asked to secure $250 or more in support from their own sponsors. Riders will receive a T-shirt, snacks and beverages. Also, corporate or individual sponsorships are available at the $250, $500 and $1,000 levels. Those interested in participating in or supporting the Miles for Smiles Bike Tour 2012 should contact Lt. Dennis Knight at 859-431-1063, or at dennis.knight@use.salvationarmy.org. Learn more about the event on the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ milesforsmilesbiketour.
cause you are preparing to re-season the cookware). Rinse and dry completely. Apply a thin, even coating of melted solid vegetable shortening (or cooking oil of your choice) to the cookware (inside and out). Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any dripping. Set oven temperature to 350400 degrees. Place cookware upside down on the top rack of oven. Bake for at least one hour. After the
hour, turn oven off and let cookware cool in oven. Store uncovered, in a dry place when cooled. Tip: I do use a bit of soap to wash my cast iron pans regularly, though the debate rages on about using soap at all. After the pan is completely dry, I’ll heat it 1 minute on the stove to open up the pores, then I’ll wipe a little oil all over the inside. As it cools, the pores close, keeping the pan seasoned.

Flea beetles feasting on gardens Question: The leaves of my eggplants, peppers and tomato plants look like they got blasted by a small shotgun (especially the eggplants). They have numerous tiny holes in the leaves, but I don’t see any bugs eating them. Should I spray the plants with something? Weed control is also an issue. Answer: High numbers of tiny holes in the leaves of eggplant, peppers and tomato plants at this time of year are most likely caused by a tiny beetle called a “flea beetle” (since it jumps like a flea when disturbed). The beetles are only about one-tenth of an inch long, and are usually black or dark in color. They will eat shot-holes in leaves of tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper, beets, spinach, turnips, radishes, cabbage and other crops. Young transplants are often damaged severely. Use Sevin, Bug-B-Gon, or Multi-Insect Killer for control, being sure to spray both sides of the
leaves, since these pests often hide on the underside of leaves. You may not notice the tiny Mike beetles, Klahr since they HORTICULTURE often jump CONCERNS off the bottom of the leaf as soon as it is moved. For non-chemical control of flea beetles, a thin floating row cover can exclude the insects from plants and can be left in place until harvest of most crops. Botanically based insecticides that include Pyrethrum or Neem may also be used, but unfortunately, they provide only fair control of flea beetles. Fortunately, as the plants grow, the larger plants can withstand substantial flea beetle damage without loss of yield. However, if young eggplants are not adequately protected, the tiny pests can entirely destroy the plants.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Flea beetles will eat shot-holes in leaves of tomato, eggplant, pepper, beets, spinach, radishes, cabbage and other crops. PROVIDED With regard to weeds, it is true that, not only do weeds rob cultivated plants of water, nutrients, and light, but some weeds also harbor diseases, in-

In small gardens, weeds can be controlled with black polyethylene mulch or layers of moist newspaper, supplemented by hand weeding such as pulling and hoeing.

Kentucky celebrates National Pollinator Week When you hear the word “pollen” what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many people, seasonal allergies is a common answer. However, pollen is much than an allergy producer; it is an essential part of our food system. How essential? One in three bites of food we eat depends on a pollinator. That’s why five years ago the U.S. Senate unanimously approved and designated the last week in June as National Pollinator Week. The goal of Pollinator Week is to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators to plants, animals and humans. This year we celebrate National Pollinator Week June 18-24. This is also the first year that Kentucky has officially proclaimed National Pollinator Week
Becky Anderson COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST
throughout the state. Gov. Steve Beshear officially declared Kentucky’s support for this important issue on
June 4. Pollinating animals such as bees, bats, butterflies, and birds make up a large variety of pollinators in the U.S. In fact, there are more than 200,000 animal species that pollinate. As they gather nectar and pollen for their survival, these animals are responsible for the reproduction of 75 percent of all flowering plants and two-thirds of crop plants. Some crops,
such as cocoa harvested for chocolate, depend solely on pollinators for their reproduction. If you’ve enjoyed chocolate recently you can thank a midge, a tiny twowinged fly. Pollinators also contribute to biodiversity as they travel. A typical worker honeybee, for example, visits an average of two thousand flowers in a day. A rise in problems such as pesticides, diseases, habitat loss, colony collapse disorder and a lack of education mean that pollinators need our help. There are many easy ways we can ensure pollinators remain happy, healthy and productive. Here’s how you can help: » Reduce your impact. Reduce or eliminate your pesticide use, increase green spaces and minimize urbanization. Pollu-

tion and climate change affect pollinators, too. » Plant for pollinators. Create pollinator-friendly habitat with native flowering plants that supply pollinators with nectar, pollen, and homes. Even a small container garden can make a big impact. For information on what to plant in your area, download a free ecoregional guide at www.pollinator.org. » Tell a friend. Educate your neighbors, schools and community groups about the importance of pollinators. Host a dinner, a pollinated food cook-off or other event and invite your friends. » Get closer. Visit your local zoo or cooperative extension office to see pollinators up close and learn more interesting facts about their important contributions. Also,
I hope that you’ll take a few moments during June 18-24 to learn some more facts about pollinators, enjoy a perfectly ripe piece of fruit or do a few of the simple actions above. Becky Anderson of Bellevue is a member of the Northern Kentucky Beekeepers Association.

For the second consecutive year, Northern Kentucky University has been named the Healthiest Employer of Greater Cincinnati for organizations with between 1,000 and 4,999 employees by the Cincinnati Business Courier. “This is a tremendous accomplishment that demonstrates NKU’s commitment to the health and wellness of everyone on our campus,” said NKU President James Votruba. “And it is just the latest example of this institution setting an ambitious goal and then making it happen.” Twenty finalists in five categories were recog-
nized May 2 at an event at the Cintas Center. One local organization in each category was named a 2012 Healthiest Employer of Greater Cincinnati. Other winners included Horan (299 employees); KLH Engineers (100-199 employees); Gallatin Steel (200-999 employees) and TriHealth (5,000-plus employees). The award methodology was based on a web-based assessment survey comprised of 75 scored and weighted questions, along with an essay submission. The categories, scoring and analysis were developed by a private panel of medical, academic, business, wellness, finance and statistics professionals.
NKU offers a number of programs and services aimed at making the campus healthier, such as annual health screenings, access to the Campus Recreation Center and healthy food options, health and wellness classes, one-onone health coaching, ergonomics assessments, walking clubs and on-site massage therapy. Campbell notes that the university is also incorporating health considerations into new facilities, such as taking ergonomics into consideration when designing the Griffin Hall informatics center. Much of this effort is overseen by the university’s Healthy Workplace Committee.
