Former Kenton officer honored for overseas service

By Amy Scalf ascalf@nky.com

INDEPENDENCE — Laughter and tears preceded the rain during a posthumous award ceremony May 31 honoring Brett Benton, a former Kenton County Police officer who died in Afghanistan in 2011. Benton went overseas as an Afghan police mentor with DynCorp International, a company based in Falls Church, Va., that provides aviation, logistics, training, intelligence and operational solutions around the world. At age 37, Benton was killed by an improvised explosive device on June 4, 2011, according to a DynCorp statement. He had only been in Afghanistan three weeks. DynCorp’s Vice President of Human Resources Michael Warren presented Benton’s widow, Bethany, with the company’s Purple Star Award, their highest recognition given “to recognize the extraordinary sacrifices of individuals who were wounded or killed while serving customers’ missions,” according to the website, www.di-intl.com. It’s not the first award Betha-

INDEPENDENCE — City leaders and area planners received a state award for a controversial zoning project completed in 2012. The Independence Zoning Update, presented by the city of Independence and the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission, earned the Outstanding Project award from the American Planning Association-Kentucky Chapter on May 9. A formal presentation was held during the Monday, June 3, Independence City Council meeting. A press release from NKAPC said, “This project was the result of the city’s ini-

tiative to create a communitybased vision and land-use plan. From 2010 to 2012, a steering committee appointed by city leaders met monthly to develop regulations to implement the Independence Community Small Area Study. Public input also played a critical role in the formation of these regulations.” The update resulted in three new zones for city development. The Downtown Independence Zone intends to preserve the historic nature of the Courthouse area. The Conservation Development-Single Family Overlay Zone allows developers the option of higher building density when property is dedicated to greenSee ZONING, Page A2

ny has accepted on Brett’s behalf. In February, she received the Department of Defense’s Defense of Freedom medal, the civilian equivalent of the Purple Heart. On May 14, she traveled to DynCorp’s headquarters to see Brett’s name among 85 others on the Department of State’s

memorial wall to honor civilian police and corrections advisors, pilots and support staff who were killed while supporting U.S. programs overseas. During that event, she also accepted a flag in Brett’s honor from the U.S. Department of State.

past 16 years. "Let there be no doubt that our officers who serve overseas are serving on behalf of their government. They serve to help us develop forces overseas so they can police themselves, so we can pull our American forces out and save American lives,” said Redman, who served as a police officer for 25 years in Houston, Texas. “What an amazing testament to this city, to this county, that a son from this region picked

up the mantle and chose to serve as he did. So lest we forget, we come today and we honor an amazing individual.” Redman thanked Bethany, Benton’s family and friends and the Northern Kentucky community, “on behalf of a grateful nation and the United States Secretary of State John Kerry.” Benton served 10 years on the Kenton County Police Department, starting the agency’s K-9 unit under former Chief Ed But-

ler, who now is executive director of the county’s emergency dispatch services. Butler, and other presenters during the event including Kenton County Police Chief Brian Capps, got choked up remembering comical stories about Benton, who had also worked as a narcotics detective, a Kentucky State Police dispatcher and National Guard soldier.

uses with amenities such as parks and playgrounds to be located around the intersection of new Ky. 17 and McCullum Pike. “We’re quite pleased that this project was chosen, since the competition is always pretty tough,” said Martin Scribner, director of NKAPC’s Planning and Zoning Administration. Scribner said the agency nominated the project on behalf of the city, as NKAPC has won similar awards in the past. Independence Strategic Action Committee Chairman Rodney Crice said news of the award was “great.” “I had no idea the Plan-

ning Commission submitted it for the award. I think it’s a recognition by professionals and peers throughout the state that we did a good job. It’s maybe not the final answer, but it’s a piece of the puzzle. It’s a step to making the city stay a viable investment,” he said. “It has yet to be seen how it will affect the downtown area.” Independence resident Don Nienaber, who opposed the rezoning at council meetings and during the June 7, 2012, planning commission hearing, was not impressed. “Nobody listened to anybody on McCullum Road,” he said. “It’s hypocrisy, what has been done out here and what they do in the city. It’s unbelievable.” Independence City Councilman Chris Reinersman said, “It has been my privilege to be a part of the Independence Zoning Update, and I am very grateful to all involved. I

believe this was an excellent example of what a major zoning initiative should be. The final recommendations sought, and were tempered by, significant public input throughout the process and resulted in a final product which represented the initial goals, gave appropriate consideration to all affected parties and, I believe, will ultimately benefit our community for years to come.” The project was one of four submitted from throughout the state for Outstanding Project in a category which APA-KY President Ryan Libke said regards regulations, codes, and design and growth management guidelines. The judging was based on three criteria: practical use by others, transferability of the project and project quality.

Thornhill track fights injunction to keep racing By Amy Scalf

Thornhill Drag Strip supporters Brian Miller, left, Zach Miller, Gary Koeninger, Gerry Meyer, Jason Chleue and Chuck Grizzell hope Campbell County courts will allow the track to operate additional hours or days. AMY

ascalf@nky.com

MORNING

VIEW

—

Many drag racing fans love the roaring engines, squealing tires and the smell of burning rubber hanging heavily in the air, but Thornhill Drag Strip’s neighbors do not. Cars began thundering down the track in the 1950s, after local legend says the 3,100-foot-long strip was built to accommodate planes carrying bootleggers in the 1920s. The noise and fumes funneled toward nearby homes caused neighbors across the Licking River to take the matter to Campbell Circuit Court in 1973, leading to an injunction limiting the track’s operations to six hours on Saturday nights between April and October only. Gary Koeninger began leasing the track last year, and because operations have been rained out on several consecutive Saturday nights, he’s hoping to add racing time to the schedule. “We’re just trying to keep the track open. It’s the oldest continuous running track in the United States, as far as I know,” said Koeninger. He is prepared to file a motion to change the injunction, and he’s amassed more than 1,300 petition signatures to support him. “We’d want to do a Friday night or Sunday if we get rained out. As it is, we’re not allowed to make up days. If we get rained out, I have to give the money back to racers and

spectators, and I still have to pay the employees,” Koeninger said. “If I get an extra day, I can at least try to recoup some of that money.” Rachel Hulette, an Alexandria resident who has lived directly across the river from the track for nine years, would prefer the hours not change. “It’s hard to understand the impact of the operation, unless you experience it. We’re situated in a valley, so the amount of exhaust and fumes from the burnouts they do is significant. It’s not pleasant to be around at all,” she said. “I don’t support any operational change in the hours of the race track, period.” She said the track’s Campbell County neighbors receive most of the impact from the noise as well. She and her neighbors knew about the track and the injunction, before moving there. “We really enjoy the area. We enjoy the people. We just want everyone to

follow the same set of rules that we knew when we moved out here,” she said. She and other neighbors went to court in 2008 because of excessive track operations. “There was a tremendous amount of activity. Folks were racing on Sundays, Saturdays, every day of the week. Sometimes it was only a couple of cars making a couple of trips, and other times they would play music over the public address system at the track. It was quite loud and it would go on for hours,” Hulette said. “Sometimes there would be a lot of gunshot activity. It was an intolerable situation. There was no way of knowing what was going to be happening at the track at any time.” She understands that racing at the track is their tradition, but operating within the confines of the injunction should also be a part of their traditions. “They’ve been in operation for 40 years with

that injunction against it, so there's no basis for saying it can't continue to operate with the injunction, because it has for 40 years,” said Hulette. Piner-Fiskburg Fire Chief Jason Chleue and Kenton Fire Department Assistant Chief Chuck Grizzell have been coming to Thornhill since they were kids. “Dads have been bringing their sons here for years,” said Chleue. “Even if the court specifies a number of weeks we could have races, that would be better,” Grizzell said. Gerry Meyer, who owns the property where Thornhill is located, said Thornhill has hosted races and musical events over long weekends, but that’s not a possibility any more. “We can’t do big events. We have to limit entries to races because if it goes long, the cops come out,” he said. “I’d like to see weekend festivals, where

there’s continuous music all weekend,” said Brian Miller, but he’s mostly in-

We’ve got to do something,” said Miller, who has raced since he was16 years old. “The bottom line for me is that I can’t afford to go anywhere else and go racing.

Students empower Hondurans Community Recorder

Students at Notre Dame Academy have been using their talents and ideas to make a difference in the lives of young girls nearly 2,000 miles away. Their project began when NDA’s Spanish 4 Honors students were learning about healthy lifestyles and choices. “They read about the Yo Puedo (“I can”) program, a self-empowerment program for girls ages 10-14 in Honduras,” said NDA Spanish teacher Stacey Bill. “Yo Puedo is a branch of the Shoulder to Shoulder Corporation that teaches young women in Honduras the importance of respecting and loving yourself

as well as teaches them trades that improve their sense of self and abilities,” said NDA senior Alex Lonnemann. Shoulder to Shoulder was started by a team of physicians at the University of Cincinnati and when NDA students communicated their interest in getting involved with the organization’s U.S. office they were sent the program’s curriculum and asked to do whatever they could to help. The NDA students immediately began brainstorming and they decided to make print materials for the Yo Puedo program’s classes. “Our involvement in this program included creating brochures that offer advice and ac-

tivities to build self-confidence and dignity. This is more than just a school assignment. It is our school mission put into action extended beyond the boundaries of the United States into countries that are less fortunate,” said NDA senior Nina Butler. NDA’s Spanish Club and the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica also wanted to get involved, and so they voted to have a fundraiser to raise money to pay for one student to attend high school in Honduras for a year. They held a bake sale that went beyond their wildest expectations. They raised $500 which is enough to pay for one year of high school and donate $75 to the Yo Puedo project.

By Amy Scalf INDEPENDENCE — Summit View Elementary Principal Lesley Smith got stuck on an idea to help her students improve standardized testing scores. Then, they stuck her to the wall. Three times a year, the students take the Measures of Academic Progress test, commonly called “MAP.” Smith saw that as an opportunity to help boost the students' scores. “We told the kiddos that if they made growth or met their goal, they could earn a piece of duct tape,” said Smith. Each of the school’s 757 students could earn two strips, one for reading and one for math. Fourth-graders had two additional chances because they also test in language and science. When the scores came in, Smith handed out 1,289 tape strips. On May 21, Smith proudly stood on a chair as the students came through and, one by one, stuck her to the wall. “It was a little crazy, but it was great. The kids were very excited,” she said. “Every day until the end of school, they talked about it. They loved it. For me, it’s anything to motivate the kids to keep learning and give them a goal. It’s my job to keep a positive atmosphere and keep learning exciting.” She said students made gains in each section of the test. Overall, Summit View students achieved their goal of greater than 50th percentile in each area. “The kids have asked if I’d do it again,” said Smith. “Why not? It was fun.”

Pandas use veteran savvy for state berth

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

PARK HILLS — Joe Stephenson knew what he was getting when Haylee Smith enrolled at Notre Dame Academy last fall. The NDA head coach welcomed in a veteran pitcher with three state tournaments under her belt, but he didn’t expect her to come in and reinvent the wheel, especially since she wouldn’t join the team until the beginning of the season. And she was joining a team that had won 22 games last season and had been rising in prominence the past couple of years with a solid core of veterans. Smith was the first to credit those veterans when the Pandas won the Ninth Region championship June 2, beating Conner 3-2 at Northern Kentucky University. “I pitched, I guess I would say, average, but we wouldn’t be here without our defense today,” she said. “I take on a little bit of a leadership role with these girls, but I don’t know where I would be without them. I would clearly not be able to be down there without these girls.” NDA won its first regional title since 1999 and became the first team other than Conner or Ryle to win since 2004. NDA will begin play in the state tournament Thursday, June 6, in Owensboro. NDA enters the tourney with a 27-7 record and was a perfect 21-0 against Ninth Region foes this year. Smith, who pitched Ryle to the state tournament in 2010 and 2011 and played shortstop for the Raiders last year, struck out seven Conner batters and allowed six hits. A starter on NDA’s basketball team that reached the state finals in early March, Smith wasn’t able to take the mound until this season had already begun. She split pitching time during the regular season with freshman Abby Jones. “I didn’t talk to her until after basketball,” Stephenson said. “But I sent her an email and said ‘Haylee, we’ve got a very good team. I don’t want you to come in here and try to carry this team.’ She’s another piece of the puzzle and I tried to alleviate a lot of pressure. She fits right in with the girls.”

INDEPENDENCE — Simon Kenton High School’s baseball program posted a second straight 22-win season. But, the Pioneers head into the offseason wondering how they let their final game slip away. Against Collins in the second round of the Eighth Region tournament, the Pioneers took a 2-1 lead into the seventh inning. The team’s defense had been its strength all year. In the final half inning of the season, the defense lapsed. Collins took advantage of the Simon Kenton errors and turned the one-run def-

Senior shortstop Mickie Terry and junior outfielder Laura Finke were all-tourney picks. “I can’t believe it,” Terry said. “I’ve been on this team for five years and I didn’t imagine this would ever happen. It’s pretty crazy. I’m so excited. We deserved it.” Said Stephenson: “It was more about her defense and leadership, and her talking to the girls and keeping them up. She’s our leader out there and our captain. She keeps everybody in the game and she’s focused.” Finke, the team’s leadoff hitter, had three hits in the championship game. “She’s a gamer,” Stephenson

said. “It’s a wonderful feeling to have a kid like that leading off. If they play her back, she will drop (a bunt) down. There are few faster than her, if any.” Said Finke: “I’m excited. I’ve never been to state before. We’re going to be looking to win every game we can. We’ve been playing with each other for four years, so we’re basically a family. Every sports team is their own family, but I feel this one is even more special than a normal sports family.” Against Conner, NDA trailed 1-0 entering the fifth inning. Maddie Rose started the fifth with a double, then advanced to third on a double by Finke when she was uncertain if the ball

would be caught in left field. The next batter, junior Hanna Sullivan, dropped a bunt less than two feet in front of home plate. Both runners eventually scored on an errant throw on the play. With no one on, Smith hit a triple to right center, then after a pair of walks, junior Maria Schaefer hit a single to make it 3-1. “We were able to put the ball in play the entire game,” Finke said. “We had runners on almost every inning, then that one inning we just broke it open. We stayed with it the entire game. We don’t give up.” Conner put the first two runners on base in the fifth and sixth innings but the Pandas got out of those jams with the lead. Conner had runners on second and third to start the sixth inning before Smith induced two soft pop flies to shortstop. Now the test gets even tougher this week in Owensboro. “We just have to keep doing what we’re doing,” Finke said. “We play great defense and we put the ball in play. We have great pitching with Haylee and Abby. If we (do all of that), good things will happen.” Follow James on Twitter @RecorderWeber

Tough loss ends great SK run Pioneers baseball has 2nd consecutive 22-win season

SOUTH KENTON

icit into a 5-2 win, ending the Pioneers’ season. “Every season ending loss is tough, but this is a tough one to swallow,” said head coach Troy Roberts. “It’s definitely the toughest loss that I have had at SK and one of the toughest in my entire career.” Roberts did not think that his players got tight, clinging to a narrow lead in the last inning with a berth to the regional final on the line. The team routinely practiced late-game scenarios and were prepared for this situation. “I think it was just a lack of execution,” said Roberts. “You have to give Collins credit—their backs were against the wall and when we gave them the opportunity they jumped all over it.” As painful as the final loss was, it should not overshadow a

second-straight season of more than 20 wins. The Pioneers won just10 games in 2011. In Roberts’ first two seasons, Simon Kenton has won a combined 44 games. “It’s always nice to get to 20 wins,” said Roberts. “It’s a team goal every year. It shows all the hard work the team puts in really does pay off.” The program’s resurgence has been fueled by a senior class that led the way both on and off the field. According to Roberts, three of the team’s seniors earned full academic college scholarships and five seniors had a grade point average above 3.5. “Those are the two things that I am most proud of from our senior class this year,” said Roberts. “All the seniors will be missed. They are a hard-working group that showed the underclassmen what high school

baseball is all about. They also showed the underclassmen that being a good student is the most important thing.” The success should continue. Michael Mundy, Grant Wassom, and Tyler Smith will return for their third-straight year in the starting lineup. Wassom and Smith were the team’s top two hitters as juniors this season. Pitchers Tristen Marcum and Sean Lawrence will also return. The Pioneers expect to have a third-straight winning season. “I definitely feel that we are going to be consistent with winning,” said Roberts. “My personal goals are the same every year: eliminate bad baseball, be fundamentally sound, and have a smart and tough team. If my coaching staff and I can accomplish these goals, there is no doubt we will stay on the winning side.”

Wrestling

» Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, Covington Catholic will add wrestling to its athletic program. Dave Johnson has been selected as head coach. Johnson has 13 years of experience and has coached at the varsity high school level for the last eight seasons contributing to programs at Norwood, Cooper and Ryle. The addition of wrestling will complement basketball, bowling and the swim/dive programs during the winter sports season and provide another activity for student participation. To date, 62 students have expressed interest. “I am excited about the opportunity to be the Colonels wrestling coach. I will work diligently to make this sport a success at CovCath and to represent the school with class and sportsmanship,” said Coach Johnson. Dan Osborne will be head assistant/JV head coach. Osborne comes to CCH with nine years of coaching experience in both Kentucky and Ohio. Osborne coached at Glen Este High School last year where he specialized in working with the upper weights. In addition, he was the varsity defensive line coach for the Glen Este football team. As an athlete, he was a four-year letterman, district placer, conference champion and a two-time captain at Cincinnati Anderson High School. Covington Catholic principal Bob Rowe said, “Over the last couple of years, several stakeholders have expressed interest in establishing a wrestling program here at Covington Catholic. We are very fortunate to have found such a qualified and capable coach as Dave Johnson. We look forward to his joining the staff and are confident he will develop a quality wrestling program for our young men.”

Depth, turnaround propel Indians into 2014 Highlights By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com

Holy Cross High School bowed out of the Ninth Region softball tournament with a first round loss to Conner, but the Indians have plenty to be proud of in 2013. The team doubled its win total from a year ago, finishing with 14 wins and 15 losses. A strong senior class and the most depth the program has seen in years were keys to the turnaround. “I wasn’t surprised at all about doubling the amount of wins from 2012,” said head coach Lee Meeks. “I would have been more surprised if we had not.” Meeks expected a successful season based on his six returning seniors including the return of catcher Grace Herrman, who came back after a year away from softball. Her presence impacted the team’s

pitching and defense. “Grace did a great job of handling our pitchers this season and shored our defense behind the plate,” Meeks said. After starting the year 1-6, it took some time for the Indians to play with full confidence. Once they settled down in the field, they were able to string together some wins, including two victories in the Ninth Region All “A” Classic. “With all the rain we had this year, a slow start really didn’t bother me much, although it did bother the ladies a little,” Meeks said. “We were scoring runs but couldn’t close the door defensively.” In Meeks’s second season at the helm, the Indians added 20 new players to the program. That depth led to the addition of a junior varsity team, something the program did not have last year.

Holy Cross senior Madyson Moran gets an out and throws to second for a double play at the Uncle Pete Noll Classic. She was a leader for the Indians this year. JAMES WEBER/COMMUNITY RECORDER

“It is really nice to have the depth to choose from for the 2014 season,” said Meeks. The Indians will count on several young players to step up to the varsity level next year. Holy Cross must replace some impressive numbers put

up by the team’s seniors in 2013. Madyson Moran batted .720 with 12 home runs, 34 stolen bases, and 33 runs batted in. She struck out just one time this season. Herrman batted .443 with 23 steals and 32 runs batted in. Brittany Niehaus and

Amy Kozerski also batted above .300. Those four, along with Hannah Tupman and Alyssa Rice, will be missed. “The thing I will miss most about losing my six seniors is their leadership and knowledge of the game,” Meeks said. “They helped teach the younger players about work ethic and responsibility to the game.” Next season, pitching will be the focal point as the Indians aim to continue their steady rise. Pitchers Anna Clements and Becca Ruschel return, after making great strides in 2013. “We are really looking forward to next season with a really young team and a lot of expectations,” said Meeks. “Next season, we will be led by great pitching and the knowledge left by our outgoing senior class. All we have to do is apply lessons learned and our God-given talent to be successful in 2014.”

A four-year varsity starter, entering this season he had a remarkable career .500 batting average. His junior year, he led Northern Kentucky with a .559 average with 34 RBI, and as a pitcher he went 4-2 with a 2.47 ERA. He has earned numerous honors, including being named all-conference and all-region three straight years. He was also last season’s NKY Division II Player of the Year and was selected to play in the Kentucky Junior All-Star Game. He was also selected to play in the USA Tournament of Stars in North Carolina and played in the East Coast Prospect Showcase in Syracuse, N.Y. Active in community service (100+ hours), Tiberi will play baseball next year at the University of Louisville. His favorite athlete is Josh Hamilton and most-liketo-meet is Jackie Robinson.

Moving beyond perpetual war President Obama has announced his intention to move the U.S. beyond the state of perpetual war we have lived in since 9/11. It is time. Immediately after 9/11 the U.S. went to war in Afghanistan, the seat of al-Qaida. Ignoring, of course, the fact that almost all of the 9/11 terrorist hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. But in the immediate aftermath of the attack that seemed an appropriate response to most Americans. Then the administration began beating the war drum for Iraq, ostensibly because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMD’s). Despite a national debate over the validity of that belief and the intelligence on which it was based, the administration pushed forward. It sent Secre-

tary of State Colin Powell to the U.N. to vouch for the intelligence, largely on the basis of his personal credibility. After Col Owens winning the COMMUNITY approval of RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST Congress – despite the objections of some that their votes for authorization were misconstrued – a second front in the war on terrorism was opened. Now, 11 years later – roughly three times as long as we were in World War II – we have exited from Iraq, WMD’s not having been found, and are on the path to withdrawing from Afghanistan. President

Obama has called for a refocusing of our national resources on our economy, our infrastructure, health care, education and other domestic priorities. He does not plan a complete withdrawal of all U.S. forces, but rather a substantial reduction, with those remaining shifting to training and support roles. Republicans point to renewed sectarian strife in Iraq, to continued Taliban opposition in Afghanistan, and to ongoing terrorist attacks around the world, as bases for challenging the president’s shift in focus. Their various spokespersons could or would have us involved in civil wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, and/or North Africa. Perhaps even Korea. We have to think very care-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rebuild America’s dead industries

For those of you who have Insight for your email you may have read a Reuters report on the U.S. urging United States and international garment buyers to continue to buy from the Bangladesh garment industry. Currently the U.S. is spending millions in Bangladesh to improve their safety standards after a building collapse there killed over 1,100 people. All I have to say to that is ... what! The U.S. garment industry is all but dead and the unemployment is still very, very high. But our so-called government chooses to rebuild a broken down one thousands of miles away. Don’t get me wrong I was horrified by all the deaths there. The truth is the safety standards are so poor in Bangladesh and many other countries like it because of buyers in the U.S. and around the world who don’t care if 1,100 people get killed in a building collapse. All they care about is buying substandard product that only stands up to a few cleanings and then you have to buy again. It’s time we start rebuilding our own dead industries and start buying American made again.

Change law, not libraries

Tom Wurtz, in his May 30 column “Even libraries must comply with the law,” accurately cites the law on the current fiscal dilemma local libraries are facing. One wonders if it is the law that is so precious to Mr. Wurtz or his animus toward taxpayer supported institutions in general. His glee is apparent. When it was suggested to Winston Churchill during World War ll that public cultural institutions should be shut down given war-funding issues, the prime minister refused and replied, “Then why are we fighting?” Civilization loses when public libraries are diminished. The letter writer’s disdain is exhibited by listing the “entertainments” of library

patrons. Better no one judges another’s “entertainments” lest his be judged. Libraries have changed as has all else in life. Mr. Wurtz could show good faith by leading an effort to change the law. It’s been going on since our earliest times as a nation. See the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution that were written before the ink was dry on that esteemed document. It has been done 17 times since, for a total of 27 amendments exhibiting judicial wisdom writ large. Among those written after the Bill of Rights are the abolition of slavery, civil rights, women’s and black suffrage and the income tax. Surely, Mr. Wurtz would not object to these excepting perhaps the last. And then there is number XVIII – prohibition of liquor. Oops. That one was so bad it was repealed by number XXI. Surely, changing the library tax law is more than a tad simpler if our beloved communities comprehend Mr. Churchill.

Stand by the libraries

Thank you Joan Thamann for your well-reasoned letter to the editor, “Don’t close book on local libraries.” Your use of reasoning was a breath of fresh air compared to a previous letter accusing the Kenton County libraries of using a “taxing scam.” I, too, believe the library system was acting in good faith in their manner of collecting taxes. I, too, feel that “the amount of money my family saves by using the libraries’ many resources greatly outweighs the

amount of property tax we would save” should there be a rollback in taxes. For the first time in my 26 years of living in Northern Kentucky I feel driven to become politically active. I, too, will fight any attempt to reduce the libraries’ services.

Thanks for support

Although most citizens in Kenton County may have never walked a mile in the shoes of an abused or neglected child, that didn’t stop them from raising several miles of pennies to help those very kids. A heartfelt thanks from all of us at Sunrise Children’s Services to everyone in Kenton County who contributed their change during the Republic Bank and Sunrise Children’s Services Mile Of Pennies campaign in April. Republic Bank generously took part in our efforts during Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month to raise funds to help care for the abused and neglected children Sunrise serves across Kentucky, a task we’ve been dedicated to since 1869. At all of Republic’s Kentucky banking centers, including Covington and Independence, customers dropped in their change. The result? Seventy jars filled with money that will go directly to care for our children. Thank you Republic Bank for your generous support and willingness to step up and go the distance for the children of Kentucky.

fully before allowing ourselves to get sucked (back) into such conflicts. We must remember President Eisenhower’s admonition when leaving office, to be mindful of the military industrial complex. We must be wary of the financial motivation our industrial giants have to push war as a primary means of carrying out our foreign policy. A second powerful force pushing for war is ideology. The “crusade” or “holy war” mentality believes America should be in perpetual war with “infidels” – interestingly, the term many Muslims use for us. To the extent this mentality predominates, we will be trapped in a never-ending cycle of sending our children and our treasure to faraway places, absorbing huge losses

in both as endless conflict continues. Thirdly, our military presence reinforces Islamic paranoia concerning our motives, and the perpetuation of what they perceive as American imperialism. These perceptions lead to further terrorist attacks. It is time to break the cycle, to re-focus on priorities at home while reducing our footprint in the world at large. We must certainly remain vigilant, and act when necessary. But making this shift will strengthen our nation while giving others the opportunity to strengthen theirs. The president is right. It is time. Col Owens is a Fort Mitchell lawyer and chairman of the Kenton County Democratic Party.

Picking off cops one at a time? Recently I have been managing the “Keep Our Villa Hills Police Department” sign program in the city of Villa Hills. This program was started by Villa Hills resident John Vilagi. At its peak 600 signs were obtained by residents to install in their front yards until thieves began stealing them. A home security camera filmed one of the culprits. The 600 signs represented 25 percent of the 2,400 homes in the city. Forecasted demand for the signs is at 1,700 which is 70 percent of available homes. Signs were purchased by donations by residents. The purpose of the signs was to create public awareness of the mayor’s plan to begin the process of outsourcing the Villa Hills Police Department and to serve notice to the city council and Mayor Mike Martin that residents were opposed to this measure. This coupled by the overwhelming public support for the police department at the city’s May 8 special meeting accomplished both goals. Outsourcing has been pitched as a way to save money. Are Councilpersons Mary Koenig, Brian Wisher and Holly Isenhour wanting to outsource management of the police department? This doesn’t sound like people trying to save money, it sounds personal. Now that some members of city council and the mayor realize the public outcry that would erupt if they acted against the will of the people, the focus appears to have changed from outsourcing the police to picking them off one at a time. First on the list is Assistant Police Chief Joe Schutzman. He was suspended for charges of gross misconduct and political activity on May 22. No specifics to the charges were given. Does this mean that the mayor doesn’t know at this time and will think of something later? An accused has the right to know the specifics of charges. Is Joe Schutzman guilty of anything? Who knows – evidently the mayor doesn’t even know. In a separate matter, Joe Schutzman was also removed as the city’s building inspector and

code/zoning enforcer. Odd coincidence that after serving Villa Hills 18 years in the police department and 12 Larry years as buildHeinzelman ing inspector, problems with COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST both positions COLUMNIST would occur at the same time. Odd coincidence that this would follow on the heels of the sign program started, managed and funded by residents not the police department. I have confirmed with both the Kenton County Police Department and the Kenton County Sheriff’s Department that they were called into the city by the mayor for both the May 8 special meeting and the May 22 council meeting. Both of these police departments did not come on their own. Why didn’t he call in the Kentucky State Police and the National Guard as well? What a waste of our county tax dollars. Some residents felt intimidated by this unnecessary show of force. Councilpersons Koenig and Wisher recently found it necessary to share the city’s police work schedule with residents. I sure hope this schedule doesn’t fall into the hands of criminals to use when they plan their activity within the city. At the May 22 council meeting a resident, Tim Sogar, asked the mayor’s former personal attorney and now taxpayer-paid city attorney if he had threatened anyone. Mr. McMurtry’s response was that the question would have to be submitted in writing. A reasonable person would know if they had threatened anyone and would not have to think about it. Mr. McMurtry needs to remember that he represents all citizens of Villa Hills not just the mayor. I am beginning to feel like I’m living in a city located in a country just north of South Korea and not a city located in the United States of America. Larry Heinzelman is a resident of Villa Hills.

Rita shares Taste of Cincinnati recipes

My family’s tabouleh

This is the time of year I pick wild grape leaves for scooping up tabouleh. You also can use leaf lettuce. This is a “go to taste” recipe, wonderful as a main or side dish, or stuffed into pita for a sandwich. I keep tweaking the recipe and here’s my latest. Tabouleh uses bulghur cracked wheat (great for lowering cholesterol and a good source of fiber). Every family has their own version. (Check out my blog for the tabouleh video). 1 cup bulghur cracked wheat, No. 2 grind 5 medium tomatoes, chopped fine, skin left on 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin, white and green parts 1 bunch parsley, chopped fine 1 small bunch radishes, chopped fine (optional) 1 large English cucumber,

Many older adult pet owners in Northern Kentucky face food insecurity. To help feed these furry companions, Banfield Charitable Trust has donated $2,500 to Senior Services of Northern Kentucky for pet supplies and its delivery to seniors in need as part of SSNK’s Animeals Program. “Animeals is a vital program for struggling seniors and is supported solely through donations. Having a pet can improve the quality of life and happiness of old-

chopped fine, skin left on 1 bell pepper, chopped fine Cumin to taste, start with 1 teaspoon Handful chopped mint and basil (optional) Salt and pepper Olive, corn or safflower oil to taste (start with 4 tablespoons) Lemon juice to taste

Place wheat in bowl and rinse under cool water three times. (Why three times? Because my mom said so!). Leave about a 1⁄4 inch of water after the third rinse on top of the wheat to soften it. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, until water is absorbed and wheat is tender. Squeeze to drain any remaining liquid out. Meanwhile, mix vegetables: Add all vegetables in large bowl, mixing gently. Add cumin, mint, basil and salt and pepper. Add wheat, and mix well. Add oil, a little at a time, and mix. Taste for seasonings. Add lemon juice to taste.

Tip from Rita’s Kitchen

Be sure and buy cracked wheat that also says “bulghur” on the label so that it reconstitutes in cool water easily. Jungle Jim’s sells several grinds. I like the No. 2 grind.

Mashed potato cakes with garlic

Boiling potatoes in their skins helps prevent sogginess. The egg holds potato mixture together. 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled 3 tablespoons butter, softened plus extra for frying

Rita’s family tabouleh recipe is chock full of fresh vegetables. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. 1 teaspoon minced garlic or to taste (optional) Palmful chopped parsley (optional) Salt and pepper 1 large egg, lightly beaten Oil, about 1 tablespoon

Cover potatoes with cold water and cook until tender. Drain and cool just until they can be handled and peeled. While still warm, mash and stir in butter, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Then add egg, combining well. Form 1⁄2 cupfuls into four four-inch cakes. (If you want to chill for 30 minutes or so before or after forming patties, that is OK.). Add 3 tablespoons butter and oil to skillet over medium-low heat. After butter quits foaming, add cakes and cook about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden, adding more butter if necessary.

Protect yourself when hiring carpet cleaner We’ve seen it for years, companies call and offer to come to your home and clean your carpets for a great price. But what you receive is not what you thought you were getting. So, before you sign up, there are several questions you need to ask. Maureen Cleary of Springfield Township received a call to clean her carpets from a firm she had used in the past, but which is now under new ownership. She agreed to have them clean, but they didn’t show up for the appointment. They didn’t show up until several days later. “They just called when they were in the driveway and said, ‘We’re here to clean the carpets.’ I said. ‘It’s Sunday.’ But I had enough time to have them clean the carpet. I thought I’d rather get it

clean than have to reschedule,” Cleary said. It cost her $93 for the cleaning, which Howard she paid Ain by check. HEY HOWARD! But, the next morning Cleary found problems. “The spots where the carpet is not dry, there are large brown spots in various places all around the carpet,” she said. Cleary called the company; a technician came out and tried, unsuccessfully, to clean the spots by hand. Cleary said he then told her, “Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. We can get this out. I’ll be back on Wednesday with the machine and I’ll have it taken care of. Don’t worry about it; it’s going to come out.” Unfortunately, Cleary said no one came back to get out the stains. She called the

company again and asked them to send over the same people who had successfully cleaned the carpets in the past. But, she says, she got no response to that request either. “They certainly didn’t clean the carpet. It’s worse than it ever was. I never had stains like this on the carpet. There were no stains, period ... They’re not taking care of this. They’re not answering the phone. They’re not communicating. They’re taking no responsibility whatsoever,” Cleary said. So I contacted the carpet cleaning company and, eventually, a technician came back and re-cleaned the carpets. But Cleary said while they look better, some spots remain and she wants her money back. I told the company and its now agreed to refund her money and replace padding so the spots disappear. To protect yourself when hiring a company

to do work around your home, first get a copy of the firm’s liability insurance policy. Do that before you hire them because trying to get it later, after there’s a problem, can be difficult. Remember, you need to have that policy so you can file a claim if the company damages your property. In addition, when hiring a carpet cleaning company ask if it is providing its own high voltage electricity, or just plugging into your house current. It should provide its own power in order to dry your carpets properly so such spot don’t appear. Finally, don’t pay the company with a check. Instead, pay with a credit card so you can dispute the charge if there’s a problem. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Fruit-first rule recalls Bible lessons We love fruit in our house. For many reasons. It’s quick and easy, relatively inexpensive (as long as you’re buying what’s in season), and most importantly, it’s healthy. We value the power of fruit so much in our home that we’ve adopted a “fruit first” rule. The rule is simple: when looking for a snack, choose fruit first. Or, when eating a meal, eat your fruit first. It ensures that you’re getting some good vitamins and nutrients early and often. This rule reminds me of the Fruit of the Spirit that Paul talks about in Galatians 5:22-23. The Fruit of the Spirit are characteristics that we as Christians should “produce” in our lives. They are: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This is the “real” fruit I long for my children to “eat first.” So I decided we’d have a dinnertime Bible study on the Fruit of the Spirit. That lasted about 60 seconds when the knocks on the door won

out over my “Super Fun Quiz Time” about the Fruit of the Julie House Spirit. We got COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST as far as COLUMNIST naming them when I lost my audience. Moments later, I hear from the driveway, “Don’t touch that, it’s mine. No, get away from me.” Looking up to God from my sink full of dishes I ask, “Lord, how will we/they ever get it?” He gently nudged me and responded with his word, “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) The verse is a sober reminder of my daily (no, make that moment to moment) need to walk more closely with God. To stop relying on my own self-efforts and to remember that apart from him I can do nothing. I think it not a coinci-

dence that God chose the Fruit of the Spirit over a “Sack of Potatoes,” or a “Vine of Vegetables.” Fruit is always sweet, juicy, a little messy maybe, but fun to eat. A life following Christ should be the same, filled with the sweetness of his love, packed with juicy excitement. A little messy, but don’t worry, he’ll clean you up. So, if you’re like me and longing for you and your family to more fully live a life exhibiting the Fruit of the Spirit, sit back and listen to Paul; “And this hope will not lead to disappointment for we know how dearly God love us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill us with his love.” (Romans 5:5) Live a life of hope today, my friend, and enjoy a juicy peach while you’re at it. And a good word from God. Julie House is a resident of Independence, and founder of Equipped Ministries, a Christian-based health and wellness program with a focus on weight loss.
