Residents press council on city’s service By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Alexandria residents made pointed complaints and suggestions for improvements the city could make during the special town meeting with council Thursday, Aug. 20 It was the second special meeting of its kind this year, with the first town meeting in March. Residents aired complaints about the way code enforcement of temporary business signs is performed, of weeds being overgrown in the landscaping of the city’s welcome signs, and recreational vehicle permits. Mark Cutler brought several concerns before council, giving each member a three-page handout with suggestions for reorienting the street sign at Grandview Drive and Ky. 10, and for being better stewards of the city’s Web site. “City Council meeting minutes are four months out of date, and Planning and Zoning minutes are five months out of date,” Cutler said. If the city is paying for a Web site, it should contain timely information, he said. Cutler recommended posting all meeting agendas 36 hours in advance on the Web site, which would allow for more citizen involvement.

Sue Neltner, standing at the microphone, talks about her complaints about code enforcement of temporary business signs to Alexandria City Council in the Alexandria Community Center during council’s special town meeting Thursday, Aug. 21. Cutler said he’d be more inclined to come to a meeting every once in a while if he knew what the subject matter of the meeting was in advance so that he could make time in his schedule to come. The city should also think about creating some type of a discussion board feature or suggestion inbox feature for residents to offer their thoughts on the Web site, he said. City Clerk Karen Barto said with staff vacations, she has gotten behind in updating the Web site, and that she would work to post the meeting minutes in a timely manner.

Mayor Dan McGinley also said the city plans to do some things including posting financial information on the city’s Web site in response to a question from J.R. Roth, a resident of the unincorporated county near Cold Spring. Resident Sue Neltner, who owns the Old Coney Co. restaurant, said she thought the city had targeted the business’s temporary signs by removing them after her husband had come up and spoke at a previous council meeting. “Maybe somebody didn’t like what he had to say,” she said. Neltner presented McGinley with

a handout of photos of other temporary signs that were not removed. “Why were we singled out?” Neltner said. McGinley said the Neltner’s business was not singled out by the city’s code enforcement officer’s removal of the signs, and that many of the signs Neltner had photographs of were either grandfathered in before the city’s sign ordinance, or were exempt because they were nonprofits like schools. McGinley did say that a couple of the signs Neltner had photographs of were in violation. Neltner’s question about the amount the city charges for RV permit fees set off a debate between council member Barbara Weber and McGinley. McGinley said the fee schedule for RV and boat parking permits was changed in a 2008 ordinance to $25 for a six-month permit, and that council voted for the fee change. “This boat fee was never voted on by council,” Weber said to McGinley. Council member Bill Rachford said the town hall meeting had been a civil venue for residents to air their concerns to council. “We need that kind of input,” Rachford said. “I think we try to do a good job, but we are not perfect.”

Reader’s Choice: Your local favorites By Amanda Joering ajoering@nky.com

In June, The Community Recorder presented readers with a ballot of 100 categories so they could choose their favorites ranging from American vehicle to produce to women’s clothing.

We’ve talked with some of our readers’ top choices about how they keep their customers coming back. Grant’s Lick Veterinary Hospital, 13169 Alexandria Pike, placed first in the voting for veterinarians. “I think all of us here feel very proud and humbled that the residents of Campbell County and Northern Kentucky trust us with their animals’ care,” said veterinarian Joseph Crowley, who owns the business with veterinarian Steve Enzweiler. Crowley said his father, Joseph Crowley, who started the hospital in Grant’s Lick in 1962, worked hard to establish a reputation as an honest veterinarian and others

Now the hospital has a satellite location in Falmouth and has seven veterinarians and 22 support staff employees.

600 Washington Ave., in Newport topped the list. The restaurant, which opened in April 1933, prides itself on its long history in the city and its made-fresh menu items. “We certainly feel that we have a little bit of an advantage having been here so long,” said manager Joe Bristo. “A lot of people were brought here by their parents and now they bring their kids here.” Bristo said customers seem to appreciate the food they offer,

which is made fresh and not ordered from somewhere else for at least 95 percent of the menu items, and the value they get. “People are certainly looking for value these days, and we offer that,” Bristo said. “We really appreciate our customers and everyone that voted for us.” Meters & Miles Run and Walk Shop, 317 Monmouth St., in Newport won the readers’ the vote for best athletic shoes. The shop specializes in running and walking shoes for everyone from casual walkers to marathon runners, said sales representative Jennifer Sprague. “We offer a service that you can’t get at other places,” Sprague said. “We’ll measure your size, look at your feet, watch you walk or run and adjust the shoes to make sure your feet and body feel as good as they can while you’re walking or running.” With a well-educated staff of track coaches and runners, Sprague said Meters & Miles offers customers the assistance they need.

Blood drive needs last minute push

Alexandria employees claim top police, clerk awards By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The City of Alexandria has two of top managers who have received a nod of favor from peers in their professions. Chief of Police Mike Ward has been awarded Chief of the Year by the Kentucky Association of Chief’s of Police, a group he was also president during the past year. A new president was installed and Ward received the award at the annual association convention in Lexington Aug. 10-12. Separately, City Clerk Karen Barto received Clerk

of the Year from the Northern Kentucky Area Development District Monday, Aug. 24 for the eight-county area served by the district. Mayor Dan McGinley said he thinks the awards speak well of the city’s staff. “I think we’ve just got an excellent staff from top to bottom,” McGinley said. Chief of the Year is not awarded based on a chief’s department, but rather is based on the leadership, helpfulness and involvement the winner has displayed within the association, said Mike Bischoff, executive director of the Kentucky Association of Chief’s of Police.

In addition to Ward’s service on the board of the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council, he’s also unselfish with his time and has helped several other departments around the state through accreditation processes, Bischoff said. Members from each one of three regions in the state nominate a candidate to receive the award, and what was unusual is that all three nominations were for Ward, Bischoff said. “I was honored and humbled,” Ward said of receiving the award. Ward has been chief since 2002. Barto, who has been clerk since 1997, after hav-

ing served as an assistant in the administrative office since 1990, said she is honored to receive the award because it’s voted on by her peers. “I’ve been nominated three times, and this is actually the first time I’ve received the award,” Barto said. The Northern Kentucky Municipal Clerks Association nominate and vote on the winners of the award. Barto said she’s honored to have gained the respect of other clerks. “I have great respect for those other people who have received the award,” she said.

The Alexandria Fire District wants to stick it to other fire departments by having the most participants in its local blood drive. Each year, Northern Kentucky fire departments engage in a competition through the Hoxworth Blood Center for the most blood donors. This year, the Blood Mobile will be at the Alexandria firehouse, 7951 Alexandria Pike, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27. Last year, Alexandria came in second, but two previous years the district came in first, said Sandy Decker, organizer of the event. Decker is both an Emergency Medical Technician and the fire district’s administrative assistant. “If the firehouse gets enough people participating we’ll get some money for EMS (Emergency Medical Service) equipment,” Decker said. Money raised from the blood drive competition

helped the district buy three Global Positioning Systems that are used in the ambulance ALS cars and the new heavy rescue truck, she said. The top three departments in the competition win money. Decker said right now she’s not placing in the top three with the number of people she has registered. She needs a last minute push. “I need to get at least 33 donors this drive to place in first, second or third,” she said. Helping the fire district win the competition isn’t the only reason to donate, Decker said. One person’s blood donation is separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets. “It helps three people,” she said. The rarest, and most needed blood types are O negative, AB negative and B negative, Decker said. For information about donating call Sandy Decker at 635-5991 or visit the Hoxworth Web site at www.hoxworth.org.

County puts more of court fee to work By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The Campbell County Fiscal Court will pay $15,000 out of the courthouse facilities fee the county has been collecting since 2003 to supplement funding in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office. With the money, a parttime position will be made full-time in Campbell County Commonwealth’s Attorney Michelle Snodgrass’ office. Fiscal Court has spent more than $150,000 since 2006 to pay for a jail population coordinator to manage the number of inmates and has about $850,000 left from fees collected. State law allows the county to collect the fee, which in turn must be used on court-related costs. The extra employee will work with the courts and attorneys to get people charged to receive a court judgment quicker case decided, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. The state doesn’t start paying the county anything for housing prisoners until someone is sentenced for a felony. Once a prisoner is sentenced as a felon, the state starts paying the county a daily per diem of $32.51 for the inmate’s housing costs. So, until a felony suspect

is sentenced, the county is picking up the bill alone, Horine said. Snodgrass said some counties including Jefferson County, have a similar system known as a “rocket docket,” but Campbell County’s system will be different. “I think since it’s not going to be quite the same, I think we would just call it something like an expedited docket,” she said. Snodgrass said she asked the Fiscal Court for the partnership because she’s seen the financial strain that suspects waiting in jail for a day in court puts on the county’s budget. “I thought there’s got to be able to be some way to help through our office, however I didn’t have the staff to do that,” Snodgrass said. The average time before a suspect jailed for a felony waits for a court verdict and sentencing is about 75 days, Snodgrass said. “If I get somebody before a judge, I could have a case concluded in maybe 30 days,” she said. To qualify, defendants would have to agree to waive their right to have their case presented to a grand jury. Instead, prosecutors would present a judge with an “information” case where the defendant admits there is enough probable

State law allows the county to collect the fee, which in turn must be used on court-related costs. cause to bring the charge. Snodgrass said her office already handle some cases in the manner the special program will. Only certain types of cases will qualify, she said. “This is going to be somebody that doesn’t have a record, not every defendant will qualify,” Snodgrass said. One example would be a defendant charged with not paying their child support. “If they’re locked up in the county jail the goal is to get them out there and working, so they can pay that back,” she said. Snodgrass said as few as 10 cases like that could make up the $15,000 the Fiscal Court is investing, and that her office will likely handle more cases than that using an expedited docket procedure. Not only will it save the county jail money, it will bring swifter justice, and victims of crime will not have to wait as long for the case to be resolved, she said. “It’s helping out the jail and it’s helping out the taxpayer,” Snodgrass said.

Each walking class will have different incentives and lessons including free pedometers and water bottles for everyone during the Sept. 1 kickoff. The kickoff also includes a nature hike, some basic health information, and a lesson about how to walk properly. Other programs will feature topics ranging from saving energy at home to recycling and composting and an “Organic Foods 101” session.

According to a 2004 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kentucky was ranked as the least physically active state in the nation, Vaught said. Plus, walking in the woods is more fun than on a treadmill or a sidewalk, she said. “And just the act of walking out in nature will make people appreciate nature more,” she said. So far, there are 48 people registered to participate,

and there’s unlimited room for people to enroll, said DJ Scully, co-organizer and the extension agent for natural resources and environmental management. Scully said he thinks many people are interested in learning how they can change their lives to make them “greener,” but the programs will also tell people about reasons whey they need to change to more environmentally friendly lifestyle. The reasons for buying and eating organic fruits and vegetables are one good example, because it’s not like there is necessarily a taste difference, he said. “While they might not be any healthier for you to consume, but they’re a lot healthier for the environment in how they’re produced by not using a lot of chemicals,” Scully said. Shape Up and Go Green is also a good way to ease into a fitness routine, he said. “This is a good way to get healthy before the winter months and then remain healthy by walking,” Scully said.

Hackers hobble Sanitation District No. 1’s Web site By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky’s Web site, www.sd1.org, has been hacked. In response to the Internet attack that started Sunday, Aug. 9, and that SD1 noticed Monday, Aug. 10, a temporary Web page was activated Wednesday, Aug. 12, said Peggy Casey, director of public relations for SD1. It didn’t seem that SD1 was targeted in particular, Casey said. Instead, it was an automated hacker program that found SD1’s Web site. Casey said the technical term for the attack is known as an SQL injection, which targets database-driven Web sites and adds extra coding. Visitors to the Web site

wouldn’t have noticed anything outwardly different before the temporary site was activated, Casey said. SD1 has shut down most of the site’s functionality, except for some of the most sought after information, until it can be rebuilt to defend against similar attacks as best as possible, she said. This message has been posted by SD1 at the top of the site: “Due to an unlawful intrusion, SD1’s Web site has been taken out of service for the next several days. The intrusion compromised the site's functionality. The affected server does not contain customer data, therefore customer records were not affected.” Customers can still pay their bills online through a link on the site.

School fielding coyotes to scare off geese cmayhew@nky.com

Stuck in the athletic fields with running Campbell County Camel athletes are also a few coyotes. Campbell County High School has stuck life-size, wire-supported cardboard coyote photographs in athletic fields to scare away geese to avoid the mess of droppings the flocks leave behind. The fake coyotes are a way to keep the geese off the field, and the athletes from having to play and practice in those conditions, said Troy Styer, head football coach for the high school. “They would get on the field and it just makes it yucky,” Styer said. The geese still come near the fields, but they’re keeping their distance for now, he said.

Maintenance workers for the district learned of the use of cardboard coyotes after speaking with officials at Northern Kentucky University about what they do to deter geese, said Sharon Alexander, director of facilities for the district. “We did have a tremendous problem with geese, especially up at the high school,” Alexander said. The school had previously tried things like sprays and rubber snakes set out on buildings, but none of that seemed to work, she said. So, this summer the district purchased about a dozen cardboard coyotes, putting up several around the athletic fields behind the high school. “We went and purchased them for the field up there, and it magi-

cally took care of the problem,” Alexander said. Cardboard coyotes were also put on an athletic field behind Crossroads Elementary School in Cold Spring where the official mascot is also a coyote. The elementary school’s athletic field is the home of the district’s youth football league games. So far, there have been no geese infestations at the field behind the middle school where the high school football games are played, she said. Alexander said something had to be done to keep the geese off the fields, and it seems like a solution has been found. “The geese were creating a big mess, and those athletes get up there and roll around in it, and it just didn’t seem very healthy to me,” she said.

studying nutrition in France and Spain, theater and music in New York City, forensic accounting and fraud examination in the Cayman Islands, politics and culture in Ireland, writing in Ireland and the ancient polis in Greece. The Introduction to the Fine Arts course traveled to New York City where Kunkel was introduced to a survey of basic ideas, guiding principles and historical and contemporary practices in art, drama and music. The class visited various museums and theater productions in the city. Kunkel is a rising sophomore at the university. She is the daughter of Steve and Cynthia Kunkel of Alexandria. Tepe traveled with the Diet, Nutrition and Culture course to northern Spain and southern France to study

the lifestyle, diet and culture of these two regions and compare them to an American lifestyle, diet and culture. The class visited the rural Basque region of northern Spain, metropolitan Barcelona and the renowned culinary area of Provence in southern France where they attended cooking classes and visited food markets in several areas and a chocolate factory near Barcelona. Tepe, a biology major, is a rising senior at the university. She is the daughter of Marc and Sharon Tepe of Fort Thomas. Transylvania, founded in 1780, is the nation’s sixteenth oldest institution of higher learning and is consistently ranked in national publications as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country.

To promote school health programs, the Northern Kentucky Health Department annually provides funding to local schools to implement evidence-based health promotion and education programs. A total of $19,639.15 has been awarded to public and private schools in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties for the 20092010 school year. The funding is provided through the REACH (Resources and Education to Achieve Coordinated school Health) coalition, which is coordinated by the Health Department. To receive funding, programs must focus on physical activity, nutrition, or social and emotional health. Schools receiving funning in Campbell County are: • Silver Grove School: REACH Incentive Funds Grant (Wii Gaming System), $1,219.90 • Southgate Schools: Southgate Girls on the Run, $1,300 • Southgate Schools: Southgate Girls on Track, $1,300 • Grant’s Lick Elementary: Wii Fitness for Grant’s Lick Elementary, $1,260 “Health and school performance are closely linked,” said Steven R. Katkowsky, M.D., District Director of Health. “Factors such as physical inactivity, violence and hunger all impact a child’s ability to perform academically. Local school leaders realize the need to address these health issues, and the Health Department

is fortunate to be able to provide them with some financial support to do so.” To apply, schools must send at least two representatives to the Health Department’s annual REACH for Excellence in School Health conference, held each winter. Then, the schools submit applications for funding. Applications are reviewed by the Health Department staff, and programs are funded based on their demonstration of need and plan to use evidence-based health programs to improve the health and wellness of their students and/or staff. The REACH incentive fund process began in 2000. Since then, more than $164,000 of funding has been awarded to local schools. Many of the programs funded for the 2009-2010 school year promote physical activity for students. For example, “Girls on the Run,” funded at two schools, targets girls age 8 to 13 years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. “Steps to Respect,” funded at two schools, is a bullying prevention program that focuses on school policies and teaches students to recognize and report bullying behaviors. A complete list of schools, program names, type of program and amount funded can be found on the Health Department’s Web site, www.nkyhealth.org.

Students can use personal laptops By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Campbell County High School is allowing students to use their own laptops to access the school’s wireless Internet and network for the first time. The only catch is that students must first have their laptops examined for software the school doesn’t want used on its network. “Basically, anything we don’t allow on the computers in the building can’t be allowed on theirs either,” said Juli Hale, director of community relations for the district. Using a laptop computer is part of daily life now for many students, and many of them will be using them during college classes anyway, Hale said. “It’s helpful for our students to be able to work on their laptops if they have homework after school,” Hale said. To sign up for the program, a printable permission slip and usage terms is available at the high school’s Web site www. campbellcountyschools.org/cchs/f

lashintro/indexhs.php. Students can use approved laptop computers before and after school, in the library and media center, and during lunch. Principal Renee Boots said teachers are also told that they can determine whether or not a laptop may be used in their classroom. Integrating computers into the learning climate of the school helps ensure that students understand the reliability of certain Web sites and learn to sharpen the tool that technology is, Boots said. “We want them to learn how to access resources, know good search engines, etc.,” she said. “I’m thrilled that we have a way to welcome the technology and yet monitor its use in a positive way.” Students do use a laptop computer as a learning tool, and as a connection to college, Boots said. “Our job is to prepare them for their next steps in life,” she said. “We know that technology use is part of that next step, so let’s take the opportunity to guide them in it now.”

Everyone lives a drama. We try to be playwright and write the script to our lives. But it never works out that way. There are twists and turns both good and bad, unexpected surprises, disappointments and losses and challenging situations. And there are crises sprinkled throughout. Some of them can rock us to our toes. Where do our crises come from? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept the idea that God causes suffering and crises. In this imperfect world, they come along like hurricanes, lightening strikes causing forest fires, and volcanic eruptions. I agree with the analysis of various crises expressed by author Sue Monk Kidd. She says that the crises of life come mainly from three sources: developmental transitions, intrusive events, and internal uprisings. Developmental transitions occur naturally in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. We move from stage to stage though after awhile we hate the changing. Think of some of our changing stages: birth, beginning school, puberty, moving away from home, risking and forming relationships, choosing a career, entering the work force, and of course, marriage. Add to these raising children, dealing with midlife, the empty nest, retiring, losing a loved person, etc. Each occurrence usually brings varying degrees of crisis. They cause turmoil and rattle our illusion of control. There is a tug toward growth but a stronger tug to stay where we are.

Intrusive events are a second source of life crises. Too many to number, they include accidents, serious illness, a loved personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, natural catastrophes, a miscarFather Lou riage, a terminated Guntzelman relationship, losing our job, a wayward Perspectives child, dashed dreams, etc. Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Internal uprisings are the third source of personal crises. Their coming is usually subtle and unspecified. We may begin to notice a vague sense of restlessness, emptiness, or a tinge of depression that hangs on. There may be spiritual doubts, insomnia, blossoming addictions, heightened anxiety, etc. We try to explain them by the terminology of today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stress, burnout, exhaustion. From where do these come? There is a life-force within us straining toward wholeness. What do we think pulls us through all the stages of growth and development in our lives? This life-force has its own ways of getting our attention when healthy development is stymied or stuck. Creating some sort of inner crises in us is its usual technique. Typically we only make significant changes when we hurt.

Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Such crises are meant to nudge us toward some doorway we need to pass through. The trouble is, we never think of a crisis in this way. We just pour another drink, get busy, or use our cell phone. A crises is always considered as something wrong, not something potentially helpful. Such thinking keeps us from looking for the new doorway. A crisis can be a holy summons to become more the person God made us to be. The best way to meet the crises of life is to admit them, name as specifically as we can the feelings we are experiencing, spend time in genuine reflection (seek competent help if necessary), and be painfully honest with ourselves. In short: feel, reflect, learn, and seek understanding which is the key. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Mastering the art of salmon grilling even sent me a signed thank you note. So that’s my Julia story and that’s why she was so loved and that’s why my copy of her book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” is dog-eared with use.

6 cups grated zucchini, skin left on 1 ⁄2 cup water 3-5 cups sugar 20 oz crushed pineapple in juice or syrup 6 oz favorite Jell-O: try peach, strawberry, apricot

Perfectly grilled salmon

Boil zucchini in water for 5 minutes. Drain well and return to pan. Add sugar and pineapple. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick. Remove from heat and stir in Jell-O. Cool, spoon into jars and refrigerate.

The 70-30 rule applies to any seafood on the grill. Have the grill hot, lightly brush both sides of the fish with oil, and start grilling skin side up with the grill closed as much as possible. (Or just put a disposable pan over the fish). Leave it alone until about 70 percent of the fish is done on the first side. You’ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows the fish to form a nice crust. Turn it and finish cooking. The rule seven to 10 minutes per inch of thickness works well, too. Here’s how I season mine: Brush four salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, with skin (or not) on both sides with olive or other oil. Season both sides with salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (this is enough for all four) and the juice of a lime (about 2 tablespoons). Grill as indicated above.

Easy zucchini pineapple peach jam

For several readers who wanted this recipe again. Go to taste on the sugar. I find 3 cups is plenty, but most folks like 4-5. A nonstick pan is best for this. Use your favorite flavor of Jell-O.

Tips from Rita on keeping kids hydrated

• So important especially during this hot weather when they’re in sports, since a child’s body takes longer to adjust to heat and humidity. • Kids produce more body heat but don’t sweat as much as adults so in hot weather they are at increased risk for dehydration. • In the body, water works as a shock absorber protecting joints. • Cold water is absorbed

best and kids will drink more if it’s cold. • Make a homemade power drink. Dilute a drink that contains 100 percent Vitamin C by using at least twice the water recommended on the package.

I was u n d e r deadline for this column Rita and the Heikenfeld s u b j e c t was cookRita’s kitchen ing with wine.

When I asked him who it was Child he simply said “some elderly lady.” Well, it wouldn’t have mattered if it were a young lady; I was under deadline and had no time to chitchat. When I picked up the phone and said hello, the voice that said hello back was … Julia’s! I almost dropped the phone. She was so nice, answered every question, and then just asked about my family and me. We talked for a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which was professional and the rest was personal. And guess what? She

Last week’s question

What do you expect from the Bengals this year?

“If history repeats itself, not much.” J.H. “Not much, thanks.”

K.P.

“Same old, same old! Need a running back, Carson will probably be out most of the year, no pass rush defense, etc. ... as long as MB controls the team the Bengals are going nowhere. I predict six wins and 10 losses.” Duke “More of the same!”

G.G.

“If they could stay sober, keep off drugs, stay out of barroom brawls, and quit beating their wives and/or girlfriends, they might have a chance. If I had to pay taxes in Cincinnati, I’d be ticked off. They built a brand new stadium and got nothing in return. They could also use some management. Mr. Brown just doesn’t have what it takes. He will never be like his dad. G.M. “Nothing.”

J.J.

“Well I just finished watching ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO which is featuring the Bengals. HBO did a great job, I really enjoyed it and was enthused about the upcoming season until they showed the segment in which Mike Brown was sharing his ideas with the coaches: ‘How about if we move the defensive end to tight end.’ “Mike is still micro-managing and that is not encouraging.” B.M. “I expect them to waste our time and money as usual.” R.S.H. “I expect the usual from these guys; absolutely nothing ... and I have never been disappointed!” J.G. “What do I expect ... or what do I hope?!! :-) “Expect: sadly, another losing season. “Hope: undefeated, Superbowlbound.” J.K. “This is what I’d like to see: a team that plays to their skill potential, obeys the law off the field, does good work in the community and earns the loyalty and esteem of the fans. “Here’s what we will probably see: a team that seldom wins, players charged with crimes and no one caring about the community. I hope I’m very wrong.” E.E.C. “Time tells all and over the past few years the Bengals have

Just like every year.” J.B. “I can’t ever hope to recapture the intense interest and excitement I had when following Cincinnati’s professional football team that I had when I was younger. I guess that’s part of the price you pay for getting older. “But if our team can spark any interest to match the excitement that I felt back in 1982, when the Bengals met the SF 49ers in the Super Bowl (losing 21 to 26), I’ll be pleased. “I will never forget that game. I had been running for about two years, and did my four miles that morning, coming back with icicles hanging from my eyebrows under my hood! “And I will probably never again be so emotionally involved as I was when I went out on our front porch, after the game was lost to SF, and venting my rage at the open air! What a game that was!” B.B.

Setting politics aside for a quicker economic recovery A few years ago we never would have thought our local unemployment figures could exceed 10 percent, but thankfully a variety of indicators show portions of our national economy to be stabilizing. The issue now is whether we will have fewer jobs. A stable, but smaller, economy won’t offer relief to those who want to work. All of us are searching for answers. I believe in the end we will get it right. History suggests that economic policy on recovery has had little to do with party politics. Both parties have gotten it right and wrong. In 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression, at first Republican President Herbert Hoover did little or nothing. Later he supported the Emergency Relief and Construction Act to fund public works programs. He also supported the creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which provided loans for government bailouts. To attempt to pay for these programs, President Hoover supported one of the largest tax increases in history and interest rates soared. The economy did not enter into a period of sustained growth until World War II in the 1940s. Republican President Hoover’s outcome can be contrasted with the approach undertaken by Republican President Ronald Reagan and Democratic Speaker Tip O’Neil. President Reagan took office with 12 percent inflation, interest rates at 16 percent, and high

unemployment. In relatively short order, President Reagan and a bipartisan coalition led the nation to its longest period of peace-time economic expanRobert D. sion. Hudson It began in the of 1983, Community spring just over a year Recorder after a Democratguest i c - c o n t r o l l e d columnist House of Representatives passed across-the-board tax cuts and shortly after interest rates began returning to reasonable levels. It might be said that Republican President Hoover’s approach to economic recovery lacked solid fundamentals. President Reagan and Speaker O’Neill appear to have gotten it right. There are questions about job recovery which are at the core of American dreams. They are about restoring retirement funds and home values. And there are some answers more Americans are confronting. We know that printing money and government borrowing causes interest rates to rise, which could crowd out growth. We know that increasing marginal tax rates in a recession, with new energy and health care taxes, can cause some businesses to think twice about rehiring workers. Because American manufacturers did not cause this recession, subjecting them to new regula-

Nationalizing additional segments of health care seems very unlikely to restore the value of houses and retirement funds. History will judge fondly the public servants who rise to the challenge and focus on restoring jobs. President Reagan and Speaker O’Neill, two political giants from different sides of the aisle, came together and did what needed to be done to help a country in crisis, representing all Americans. One of the most encouraging signs over the last year is that entrepreneurs and workers throughout our region have something to say. Their message has far more to do with this country’s history of job growth than it does partisan politics. But at the end of the day, they will help elect (or reelect) leaders who present the ideas which will help steer the economy toward true recovery. Robert D. Hudson is chairman of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. His term ends Sept. 1.

Heroin: Signs and symptoms In speaking with law enforcement personnel and as a result of my continued work with our Jailer, it is clear that the number of heroin users continues to climb. For those of you that I do not know, I worked for many years in the narcotics unit with the Kentucky State Police and I was the director of the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force. During my tenure in those positions in the eighties and nineties we saw very little heroin. Starting in the early 2000's we began to see the influx of heroin into Northern Kentucky. Now it seems that heroin is almost as easy to get as marijuana and just about as prevalent. Considering the addictiveness, the personal damage and the societal damage inflicted by heroin, this is very scary and cause for great concern for parents and each of us individually. That we continue to see quite a few heroin related deaths in our area is further proof of the devastation of heroin. I spoke with one lady that works at a local emergency room and she explained that they regularly and routinely see heroin overdoses and other medical emergencies related to heroin use. I thought it may be helpful in this article to review some of the signs and symptoms of heroin use so that parents may be better able to recognize the problem when it arises. Heroin is a powerful, illegal and highly addictive drug made from the opium poppy. It is usually seen in the form of a white or brown powder, but also comes in the form of dark lumps or chunks called “black tar” or “mud.” It is usually sold in plastic bags or bal-

loons. Heroin can be taken by ingesting it, smoking it, sniffing it, or by mixing it with water and injecting it either directly into a vein (mainlinJames A. ing) or under the Daley skin (skin popping). Community Some of the Recorder physical signs of guest heroin use are columnist constricted or pinpoint pupils, dry and cracked lips, persistent runny nose, loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss, pale or pasty complexion, constipation, dental problems, persistent body aches, red or raw nostrils from inhaling the heroin, cessation of menstruation in females, and constantly being thirsty. Some of the behavior signs associated with heroin are association with other heroin users who may be different than a child's normal circle of friends, sleepiness and nodding off, frequent and unexplained vomiting, slurred speech, use of laxatives to counteract the constipation, itching and scratching, needle or track marks on the arms which may lead to hiding the arms by constantly wearing long sleeves, missing money or stolen items from the house, frequent and secretive phone calls, finding heroin paraphernalia such as a syringe and/or a spoon with burn marks and finding receipts from a pawnshop where items were pawned to support the drug habit.

Long night ends in Mustangs’ first-ever win By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Bishop Brossart High School football team traveled more than 200 miles and did not get home until 4 a.m. Saturday morning, Aug. 22. They’ll get an extra week to recover from that after a 22-19 win at Betsy Layne in the Mustangs’ season opener. The Mustangs have a bye this weekend and host Bracken County 12 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5 at Newport Stadium. It marked the first win in Brossart’s varsity history after an 0-20 start the first two years. Ironically, it was the same score posted last week by Brossart’s middle school team, which won its first-ever game against Sharp Middle School. “It feels great. It almost felt like it would never come,” BB head coach Matt Reinhart said. “Both teams were evenly matched; it came down to who wanted it more.” The kickoff was delayed for more than an hour because the emergency medical crew assigned to the game was tending to an auto accident. Brossart was the most ready to play after the delay. The Mustangs scored on their first drive with a 33-yard TD pass from Jesse Orth to Michael Whitford. Chris Bowman rushed in from 36 yards out to make it 14-0 in the first quarter. Betsy Layne, located in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter. The last came by returning a Brossart fumble as time expired in the first half. The Mustangs recovered from that adversity and shut out Betsy Layne in the second half. Bowman

Bowman had 136 yards on the ground. “He had a great game on defense as well - forced fumble, five tackles, unbelievable night,” Reinhart said. “He doesn’t come off the field. At the end of the game, he had nothing left.”

In a matchup between two preseason top-10 teams, Dixie Heights held off Newport Central Catholic 19-7 in the season opener for both schools. The Colonels defense proved to be the difference, as Dixie Heights held the Thoroughbreds to 212 total yards of offense and one score. With the defense keeping the defending state runner-up in check and the offense taking care of the football, the Colonels were able to start the season off

with a victory. Quarterback Ryan Wilson led the Colonels offense, which did not commit a turnover. Wilson rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and completed 12 of 24 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Wilson found receiver Ben Haggerty on the Colonels’ opening drive. The offense put together two more drives deep into Thoroughbreds territory but failed to come away with points. Kicker Zach Bronner hit a field goal as time expired in the first half to extend the lead to 10-0. He hit another field goal late in the game to finish the scor-

ing. Chris Kelly got NewCath on the board with a 19-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to cut the lead to three. Kelly finished with 96 yards on 22 carries. After the lead was cut to three, Wilson put the Colonels offense on his shoulders and carried them to another scoring drive which he capped himself with a 9-yard touchdown run. He led the Colonels to 310 yards of total offense. The win will likely move Dixie Heights, ranked No. 9 in the preseason coaches’ poll, ahead of preseason No. 7 NewCath.

Brian Goller returns for his 16th season as head coach with a 168-116-9 record, including 8-9-1 last year. The Mustangs lost to rival Campbell County in overtime in the district tournament. Returning starters are Ryan Stadtmiller, Justin Morscher, Sam Perkins, Nick Hanneken, Ryan Enzweiler and Dylan Dierig. Brossart has five experienced seniors on defense. Top newcomers are Jordan Frommeyer and Austin Kramer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has some of the most skilled players ever to put on a Mustang jersey,â&#x20AC;? Goller said. The Mustangs began the year 3-0 at the Harrison County tournament.

Campbell County

The Camels went 7-5-2 last season and were 19th District runner-up. Head coach Mark Hegyi said his top returning players are Colton Tanner, Brady Kennedy, Cody Alley, Alexx Bernard, Dane Michael and Jeff Pflum. The Camels were set to begin the season Aug. 25.

NewCath

Steve Bornhoffer enters his seventh season as head coach with six returning starters. They are Kris Guthier, Cole Little, Kevon Reis, T.J. Schowalter, Nick Speier, and Austin Juniet.

The defense has a new structure and is led by Speier, Schowalter, Reis, Adam Meyer and Aaron Schultz. Guthier and Little lead the midfield, and Juniet and Andy Stegner up front.

Rubber Duck Regatta

Marion Naron Hale of California, Ky is doing her part to help tackle the issue of hunger in her community. As part of the 15th annual Rubber Duck Regatta, Hale is volunteering on the event’s steering committee to help

sell ducks for the Freestore F o o d b a n k ’s l a r g e s t fundraiser of the year. Hale is representing Hale her company and a sponsor of this year’s Rubber Duck Regatta, S.C. Johnson & Son, A Family Company. She views her involvement on the committee as an opportunity to give back to the community in which she lives and does business. “I’ve enjoyed meeting others who are passionate about feeding the hungry and in some small way, it gives me a chance to show gratitude for the blessings with which my family is blessed.” The Rubber Duck Regatta, which nets more than $475,000 each year for the Freestore Foodbank and its 400 nonprofit member agencies, is the world’s largest and longest-running rubber duck race. Sunday, Sept. 6 – as part of the WEBN Riverfest celebration – as many as 100,000 ducks will be dropped into the Ohio River to race 100 yards along the Serpentine Wall. The owner of the first duck to cross the finish line will win a brand new 2010 Honda

Insight and possibly $1 million, if their duck is the “Million Dollar Duck.” Individuals can buy ducks online at www.rubberduckregatta.org; by phone at 513929-DUCK (3825); and at all PNC Bank and National City locations and Kroger stores. Brochures are also available at all Frisch’s and Skyline Chili restaurants and area Honda dealerships.

Sunday, Sept. 6, Buckhead Mountain Grill will host more than 200 kids from the Northern Kentucky area who are involved with the Buenger Boys and Girls Club for the Riverfest Fireworks Show. “Although we give to many charities and schools throughout the year, we have never wrapped all of our efforts into one large event for a single deserving charity in the area,” said Angela Nannini, Owner and General Manager of Buckhead. “With all the good that the Boys and Girls Club does for the community, we knew it would be a perfect fit to host this event for the kids.” The entire event will be donated by Buckhead’s, with help from the Bellevue Police Department and other partners. The restaurant will not be open to the public on this particular day. The private event at Buckhead’s will take on a circus theme with games, goodies, and prizes for the kids. The Buckhead

owners, employees, and vendors will donate their time and efforts to make this event special for the kids. “Buckhead has been a great partner in our community,” said Chief William Cole of the Bellevue Police Department. “Their efforts on this project will give children from our community the best seat in house for viewing the fireworks display, as well as a safe, fun, and unforgettable evening. We are proud to work on this project with them.” Buckhead Mountain Grill is located at 35 Fairfield Avenue on the river in Bellevue.

Bed & Breakfast

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