Boone County Fiscal Court meetings have been tense of late and the race between Republican Commissioner Cathy Flaig and GOP incumbent Gary Moore for judge-executive in next year’s primary has already been spirited. But what do residents think? “Well, my taxes haven’t gone up much,” said Burlington resident Darla Hunter, who’d give the Fiscal Court a B for a grade. “I think I get a lot for my money for my tax rate.” Hunter was one of several residents interviewed at last week’s Boone County 4-H & Utopia Fair that attracted elected officials and
others. Union resident Julie King said she has no complaints about the Fiscal Court. She said barring that she doesn’t see any problems, she’d give them an A. She said she has no complaints because she doesn’t hear of any or see any problems. Hebron resident David Zimmer said the Fiscal Court has been responsive to quality of life issues all over the county, have been fiscally responsible and are doing a good job. He said he’d give them an A-minus/B-plus. Burlington resident Sophia Brinegar said she watches Fiscal Court meetings every once in a while. Brinegar said the Fiscal Court is doing fine and it’s better
than it has been since before Democrat Bruce Ferguson was judge-executive. She’d give them a B. Driving into the Boone County Fairgrounds from either Conrad Lane or Idlewild Road, one couldn’t miss a political sign. Despite all of the fireworks of late, not all have noticed. Florence resident Frank Lyons said with the complexities the Fiscal Court faces, they have done a good job. He’d give them an A minus. He said the Fiscal Court has performed admirably and if voters put Flaig in, she would do a good job also because she’s involved and is interested in Boone County. Brinegar said Moore has done a
good job and it’s been a clean race so far between him and Flaig. Hunter said she just hopes they both keep the county’s best interest in it and don’t make it personal. Hunter said so far the race has been personal. She said Flaig has been active in the county government but unless one has walked in the shoes of the person doing the job, one doesn’t really fully understand it. Zimmer said all he knows is that Moore and Flaig are running against each other. “So far, I think it’s been pretty good. They haven’t started screaming at each other,” Zimmer said, adding it’s been very civil as far as he can see but he hadn’t seen much.

School lured Hebron family to Kosovo By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
It all began with a blurb in a church bulletin. And it became an experience of a lifetime. For the last two school years, the Palmer family of Hebron lived in Kosovo in eastern Europe. During the Palmers’ stay, Kosovo, which was once a part of Yugoslavia, became its own independent nation on Feb. 17, 2008. Gary Palmer quit his job at the Kentucky Center for Mathematics at Northern Kentucky University and taught at a new private school both years called Prishtina High School. “It was a calling,” he said. “It was a church-inspired, faithinspired move, for sure.” The first year of the school (2007-2008) it was just a high school. Middle school grades were added the following academic year. Students must take an entrance exam that tests math and English. The math test is a placement test but students must have some English proficiency. Palmer’s wife, Julia, homeschooled their daughter Melanie and son Daniel during the first school year. The Palmers returned

became a seventh-grade teacher in November of that school year. Gary taught math both years. He also taught computer applications the second year. Gary used to teach math at Walton-Verona and Beechwood high schools. The Palmers learned about the opportunity in Kosovo from an
item in the bulletin at Lakeside Christian Church in Lakeside Park which they attend. While they were gone, the Palmers rented out their Hebron house. Overseas, they rented a floor of a different home each year. The first year they lived in a village. The second year, they lived next to the school. “To me, it was fascinating learning new customs and what did they do especially village versus city,” Julia said. Melanie said she became homesick maybe because of her pets and friends. She missed her friends. She also rides horses. Daniel said it was fun to be there to experience the culture but he still missed being here with his friends. Gary will be returning to Kosovo for three weeks on Aug. 17 to assist starting the new school year. Melanie and Daniel will be attending Conner Middle School this school year in the eighth and seventh grades respectively. The school needs science teachers and equipment. For more information, contact Gary Palmer at 250-4325. The school’s Web site is www.phs-asi.org. The Palmers have a blog at http:// kosovapalmers.blogspot.com.

Duke wants rate increase for NKY Duke Energy asked the Kentucky Public Service Commission for an increase in natural gas delivery rates that would raise the typical residential customer’s monthly bill by $13.44, or 18 percent. Duke, which has about 95,000 natural gas customers in Northern Kentucky, said the typical residential customer would see their monthly delivery charge increase from the
current $75.15 to $88.59, if the full increase is approved. Duke said it is seeking an additional $17.5 million, or 14 percent, in gas revenues to take effect early next year. The gas delivery charge reflects Duke’s cost of providing service and is in addition to the actual cost of gas which is billed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, with adjustments, from Duke’s gas supplier.
Movies, dining, events and more Metromix.com | cincinnati
As part of the rate-hike request, Duke has proposed a new straight fixed variable rate design that would increase from $12 to $30, the monthly fixed charge on residential customers’ bills. The utility said the rate structure spreads the fixed delivery charges more evenly through the year, reducing the impact of higher gas charges during winter months. Since its last delivery rate increase in 2006, Duke said it has invested more than $60 million in a gas main replacement program. Kentucky News Service

Police arrested a Cincinnati man and an Elsmere woman Aug. 6 after a robbery at a liquor store on U.S. 42. Tyrone Tanks, 45, has been charged with first-degree robbery and Stephanie Morales, 34, has been charged with criminal conspiracy to commit robbery. About 9:30 a.m. a person who was near Collett’s Carry Out at 7816 U.S. 42 saw someone go into the store and put on a jacket and hood, Florence police spokesman Capt. John McDermond said. The witness called Boone County dispatchers to tell them a robbery might be occurring at the store. Police said Tanks entered the store, showed a handgun and ordered the clerk to lie on the floor. He then jumped over the counter and took an undetermined amount of cash, police said. The witness saw the person come out of the store and get into a car. The witness then followed the suspect’s car north on Interstate 71/75. Florence police caught up to the suspect’s car and pulled it over on Buttermilk Pike. Police recovered a handgun and cash from the car. Kentucky News Service

Old Fashion Day Yard sale helps school overseas goes Hawaiian By Patricia A. Scheyer Contributor
By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
A Walton tradition is getting a Maui twist. The 36th annual Old Fashion Day will take on the new theme “Walton Luau.� In addition to hula skirts and leis, authentic entertainment is coming in, including the steel drum band the Socalyptics and hula dancing troupe Spirit of the Pacific Islands. When announced, there was a little apprehension because the theme didn’t exactly fit in with Old Fashion Day, but that’s not really an issue, said City Council Member Paula Jolley. “It’s a party! We’re having a party,� Jolley said. This year, planners are bringing back the kid and adult games, but in keeping with the theme, there’ll be hula hoop and limbo contests, said Economic Development Coordinator Connie Goins. This year’s Old Fashion
Day is Saturday, Sept. 12, but the weekend kicks off early when the Boone County Parks and Recreation Department will offer a free showing of the Elvis Presley film “Blue Hawaii� the night before at Walton Park. Though some big changes are coming to Old Fashion Day, some of the traditional staples remain. “We always try to make Old Fashion Day a family fun event that won’t break your wallet,� Jolley said. The day will also continue to serve as the “Walton Family Reunion,� Goins said. “You can count on people coming back for Old Fashion Day,� she said. And of course, the Old Fashion Day parade will continue on. Starting at 10:45, this year’s Grand Marshal is the Walton Fire Protection District and EMS. Spots are still available for vendors and floats for the parade. For more information visit www.cityofwalton.org.
Last weekend, St. Timothy’s parish in Union participated in the World’s Longest Yard Sale, an annual four-day event that stretches from Gadsden, Ala., into Ohio along U.S. 127. St. Timothy’s parish has hosted booths for the event for three years, but they only participate for one day, Saturday. Before the sale they were totally full, having rented 73 spaces to residents who had stuff to sell. In addition the seniors in the parish gathered items from people who didn’t want to rent a booth, but donated items for the seniors to sell. “Last year we had a dentist chair, of all things,� said Lois Lambert, who, along with Charlene Melihercik, has organized the event since the beginning three years ago. “All of the proceeds from the seniors’ booth, as well as the $15 for each space, and $5 for each table go to our cause, a mission in Zambia. We also have a terrific men’s group who do the cooking, and

Tina Kentley of Florence and Joan Frohlich of Florence are on hand to answer all questions. grilling, and it makes money for us, too.� About five years ago, a couple of parishioners traveled to Zambia, and brought back stories of a diocese with a small school run by sisters from the Czech Republic that taught the “throw away children,� or children that were orphans or had physical defects that the government did not want to educate.

The school is tended by Sister Krista Namio, and four years ago, parishioners from St. Timothy sent them a classroom in a box. It included a crank pencil sharpener, and things children would need to learn. Then came news that the school might have to close for lack of money, and Sister Krista asked St. Timothy’s if they would commit to giving money on a regular basis to keep the school open. Participation in the Longest Yard Sale was the answer, and Lambert said they collect approximately $3,000 each year which is sent directly to the school. “The first thing Sister did with the money last year was to buy every student’s family a fish that they could
have for dinner,� said Lambert. “They also built outhouses, which they were very enthusiastic about. At the end of the school year, children who had come faithfully and studied hard were rewarded with a bar of soap.� Sister Krista said part of this year’s proceeds will buy a pair of shoes for each student. “It was amazing how quickly the project took off, and it is kind of fun,� said Melihercik. “We fine tune things every year as we learn how to do something better. We hope to set an example, spreading Christ around the world. I mean, helping others is the name of the game, and they desperately need our help.�

New runway may not happen The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport soon will revamp its long-term traffic forecasts and the revisions will likely delay or kill plans for a fifth runway, the airport’s recently installed executive director says. John Mok, giving his first extensive interview since taking over two months ago, said the airport already has more runway space than it needs, and that he is also concerned about the long-term fate of the Delta Air Lines hub at CVG. “We have an extremely high amount of runway capacity right now,” Mok said. “And the assumptions supporting a fourth parallel (runway) were predicated on the continued growth of the Delta hub, and obviously we’re getting considerably less than that.” “I’d be hard pressed to see the need” for a fifth runway, said Mok, who previ-
of its total flights here in September. Political leaders from both Northern Kentucky and western Hamilton County welcomed the news that the forecasts were being redone and that a new runway probably would not be in the works. “They built for a future that hasn’t come ... so it makes perfect sense to me to reevaluate,” Florence Mayor Diane Whalen said. Said Green Township planning director Adam Goetzman, a member of the Airport Noise Advisory Committee: “We were shaking our head at the first set of projections that were completely overly optimistic. This is a positive step that they seem to taking a realistic approach and are concentrating on their core business.” Kentucky News Service
ously ran Cleveland’s two airports. When the local airport last updated its master plan in 2005, the plan predicted traffic at CVG would more than double to nearly 1 million flights and 45 million passengers by 2025, forcing the need for a fifth runway – that would run either north-south through Florence or east-west through Boone County. That last prediction came shortly before the airport opened a fourth runway in December 2005 that cost nearly $250 million. Since then, hub operator Delta Air Lines has gone through bankruptcy reorganization. It currently is completing its merger with Northwest Airlines and has radically reduced its operation here. Overall, passenger and flight traffic is down by more than half in the last three years, and Delta will cutting another 17 percent

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
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…
MICHIGAN The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

Mom healing after head-on crash By Patricia A. Scheyer Contributor
Michelle Ranes’ life changed forever in an instant on June 24. She was driving her minivan full of her six children home from Kmart after
buying a pool for the children. She was almost at her home on Locust Grove Road in Burlington when she topped a small hill on the narrow two-lane road and crashed into another vehicle head on. The other vehicle, a one-
2$ ! ! 3 2$
ton Ford pickup truck pulling a trailer loaded with lawn mowing equipment, slammed into Ranes’ Ford Windstar with enough force that her car was pushed back 28 feet. “What was even worse was that Michelle’s husband, Darrell, was following a little behind Michelle, and he was the first on the scene,� said Walt Martini, Michelle’s father. “Darrell got the children out of the car, but he couldn’t get Michelle out. She was screaming, ‘Get me out,’ and he couldn’t do it.� The front of the car had crushed Michelle’s legs. Once rescuers arrived, they had to use the Jaws of Life to free her legs. After three units of blood had been
pumped into her, Michelle was airlifted to University Hospital, where she underwent 14 hours of surgery. Her injuries included compound fractures of her legs and right foot, a fractured pelvis, broken wrist, fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. After surgery, Michelle was in a coma for six days. “Doctors weren’t sure she was going to make it,� said Martini, shaking his head. “When she did wake up, they weren’t sure they could save her legs. She has come a long way. She is out of the hospital, and in Drake (Center), where they are working with her legs so she can go home.� While doctors think Michelle will walk again, she will never have the ease

of walking she had before the operation, Martini said. In years to come, she will probably need knee replacements. “I am in a lot of pain,� said Michelle from her hospital bed. “But I do feel lucky. I thank God every day. I really miss having my little ones around me. I was so accustomed to going, going, all the time, and now I am here, and I can’t go home yet.� Michelle’s son, Derrick, 15, was in the front seat, and other than bumps and bruises, he wasn’t hurt. Her daughter Olivia, 13, fractured her pelvis, and lacerated her spleen, and was hospitalized. Ethyn, her 18month-old, was shaken but not hurt, as were two of her triplets, Hannah and Seth, but the third 3-year-old, MacKenzie, had a gash across her forehead which required stitches. “At first the triplets thought their mom was at church making coffee,� said Stacy Francis, president of the Mothers of Multiples club, which has about 100 members. “We have been trying to help, because this is what our organization is all about, supporting each other. We do have fun, but

The club has paid for a nanny for the children for four days a week, and Derrick has cut his work schedule down to four days to be with the children the other days. He tries to come and visit Michelle as much as he can, but their remaining car is not reliable. Their home, a double-wide trailer, was crowded before the accident, and will have to be remodeled to accommodate the wheelchair Michelle will come home in. The Mothers of Multiples club is using all the funds they have raised to try and buy the family another car, and have contacted Habitat for Humanity to see if that organization can get a home for the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our church is having a blood drive for Michelle, but anyone can give blood at Hoxworth, and specify it is for Michelle Ranes,â&#x20AC;? said Francis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have a fund set up at Fifth Third, called the Michelle Ranes Family Fund, Ohio Affiliate, where people can donate money to help the family. We have a Web site, TriStateMultiples.com, with a link halfway down the page where people can go. We actually had a lady from Florida who sent us a dollar for Michelle the other day.â&#x20AC;? In the meantime, Michelle is working hard, through the pain and the depression, but she has a goal. One of the groups she is involved with, Mothers of Preschoolers, or MOPs, has a convention in Nashville at the end of September, and Michelle is determined to be there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to be out of here,â&#x20AC;? she said unequivocally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I want to be home with my family.â&#x20AC;? With her determination, and faith, her family believes her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it could have been a whole lot worse,â&#x20AC;? said her father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is truly a miracle.â&#x20AC;?

Industrial project wrapping up By Justin B. Duke
widening is the Florence Fire Department, which has a station on the corner of U.S. 25 and Industrial Road. “Beforehand, that intersection was always clogged,” said Fire Chief Marc Muench. Fire trucks had trouble getting out of the fire station because traffic was backed up in all directions, Muench said. Although the regularly changing traffic patterns made things tricky for the

Traffic flows much faster on Industrial Road. Phase I of the road’s widening project is mostly complete with all the lanes opening up last month. “It is open to traffic, but we’re putting on the finishing touches,” said Nancy Wood, spokesperson for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Drivers may see crews putting in signs, painting lines or planting grass, Wood said. In the first phase of the project, Industrial Road was widened to five lanes from U.S. 42 to U.S. 25. A sidewalk was added to one side and a multi-use path was added to the other. Construction began in July 2007 and the project cost around $12.5 million. A large benefactor of the

department during construction, it never got any worse than the intersection was before construction, he said. Now that the project is done, the department should have fewer delays in responding to calls, Muench said. “It’s definitely been a lot easier,” he said. Phase II of the project is set to begin next year and will widen Industrial Road from U.S. 25 to Turkeyfoot Road.

Wide range of choices after school By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
It’s back to school time, and while figuring out where math class is this year is usually a top priority, there are some other things to look into. High schools in Boone County offer a wide range of extracurricular activities that are as traditional as the Future Business Leaders of America or as specific as the strategy gaming club. While different clubs and teams are fun, they have added benefits, said Cooper High School Assistant Principal Chandra Dixon. “The research is overwhelming in favor of students getting better grades,” Dixon said. Along with the better grades comes the increased chances for college acceptance and scholarships, she said. “It is going to set you apart,” Dixon said. In the current economic climate, more students are applying for scholarships, and when students with the same GPA are after the same scholarship, the student who’s more involved usually wins, she said. To let students know what their options are for after school activities, booths for every club and team will be set up during schedule pickup times. Here’s a quick look at a few options:
Cooper High School anime club
When Cooper High School opened the anime club wasn’t included as one of its clubs. That all changed when a group of students who loved Japanese animation rallied together and asked Teacher Daryl Westfield to sponsor a club. “They’re really dedicated,” Westfield said. Now the group usually meets weekly to watch shows and discuss local events. “They even do some Japanese cultural things,” Westfield said. When they meet, students have everything planned out and take charge, he said. “It’s totally student led,” Westfield said. Although, the anime club may be a niche interest, everyone is welcome to check it out with no pressure from the leaders, he said. “Some kids came and tried it out and didn’t like, but most of them loved it,’ Westfield said.
Boone County High School forensics team
While many people think of “CSI” when they hear the word forensics, the Boone County Forensics Team spends its time with speech, debate and drama. “If a student wants to learn how to be successful, forensics is the place,” said sponsor Krista Kohl. All kinds of students participate in forensics from athletes to those
PROVIDED
Clubs like Ryle’s Future Business Leaders of America offer an inside track to scholarships. who don’t do anything else in the school. Students don’t need to be talented before they check out the forensics team, Kohl said. “That’s my job,” she said. Very often students will stop in to check out the team and end up joining the team, Kohl said. “Through this we see a lot of students go on to get scholarships,” she said.
Ryle High School archery team
Competitive archery came to Kentucky about seven years ago and has grown so popular it had to be divided up into regions. The Ryle archery team has been able to succeed in regional competition and move on to state and nationals. In order to compete, the team has to have at least five members of each gender, and most who join actually get interested from their
time in class, said sponsor Brenda Klaas. “A lot of them will get exposed in the physical education class,” Klaas said. The team ranges from football players to students who really don’t like to talk much, she said. “It helps them come out of their shell,” Klaas said. Even students who don’t get archery in gym can join the team. “They can stop by and talk to me,” Klaas said.

5k held for fallen BCHS grad By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
A friend is making sure Laura Chaney’s memory lives on. Kelsey Funke organized a 5k at Champion Window Field to kick off fundraising for a scholarship in Chaney’s honor. A Boone County High School graduate and Western Kentucky University freshman, Chaney died from a blood clot in her lung in May. Around 250 showed up for the 5k July 18 to show their support for Chaney. “Once everybody heard about it, they wanted to do it,” Funke said. Several businesses came together to support the cause, including Jet’s Pizza who donated food for everyone there. In all, about 30 volunteers stepped up to make sure everything went smoothly. “I thought they did a great job
PROVIDED
putting it together,” said participant Kathy Kuhn. Kuhn was impressed that as a college freshman, Funke was able to bring the community together the way she did. “The love – everyone pulling together – was neat,” she said. Although money is still rolling in, the 5k raised $4,500 for the scholarship. The idea of a scholarship came because Funke received the Nancy Lambers Bresser Scholarship for track, which was made when Bresser died. “When Laura died, it made me think about it and how so many won’t know who she was,” Funke said. With the scholarship in place, Chaney’s parents will get to decide on the criteria, but it will go to a Boone County High School senior next year who, like Chaney is “just somebody who loved life,” Funke said.
Parents and students can get some help figuring out how to do high school. Boone County Schools is hosting its first-ever “Making the Most of High School” conference from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at Cooper High School. Designed for parents of eighthgraders through seniors to attend with their children, there will be more than 30 workshops to choose from on topics ranging from career and college planning to involvement in high school. “Parents have choice of which session is important to them,” said Dawn Hinton, guidance counselor at Cooper High School. Throughout the district, this
kind of information would be presented to high school students and parents on an individual level, and a more efficient model was needed, Hinton said. At the elementary and middle school levels, information makes its way home more often, said Anna Marie Tracy, the district’s supervisor for No Child Left Behind. “At the high school level students tend not to communicate, so we needed to address parents and students together,” Tracy said. On hand will be representatives from several colleges and trade schools as well as professionals who can offer guidance and advice on their career paths so students can be better informed of what they need to do for certain jobs, Hinton said.
“I think that is something students don’t get enough of,” she said. While still several weeks away, registration is a key to making the conference work well, Hinton said. “We want to make sure we have the sessions people want,” she said. Registration is $5 per person and includes lunch. Registration information is available at http://www.cooper.boone.kyscho ols.us In addition to students and parents, the district is looking for businesses to partner with the program. For more information about partnerships, contact Tracy at annamarie.tracy@boone.kyschool s.us.

Here is a look at local volleyball teams in Boone County:
Boone County
The Rebels will have a new look with a new head coach and just two returning varsity letterwinners. Christina Steiner, a former Ryle High School standout, moves to the rival Rebels this season. She comes from Western Kentucky University, where she was graduate assistant coach. She inherits a team that graduated seven seniors. Libero and senior co-captain Linsey Ellis was second on the team with 628 digs last year. Setter and junior co-captain Molly Myers played in 32 matches last year and played mainly in the back row with 147 digs and 25 aces. The Rebels return five players who had limited varsity action last year in senior middle hitter Erin Gubser, junior outside hitter Tasha Combs, sophomore outside hitter Brooke Pendleton, senior defensive specialist Spencer Stone and junior defensive specialist Allie Letsinger. Steiner said Combs, an outside hitter, is a smart player who sees the court well. Middle hitter Gretchen Ribilas and libero Jasmine Switzer are other seniors on the roster. “I have high hopes for this team,” Steiner said. “Although we are young and lack experience the team is quickly learning, working hard and playing together as a team, which makes for a successful year.”
Conner
The Recorder did not receive information on the Cougars by deadline.
Cooper
The Jaguars had a respectable 811 record last year in their first year as a program and look for more success this season. Returning starters are sophomore middle hitter Mikayla Rolle, junior setter Katlyn Sams, senior hitter Brittany Biddle, junior outside hitter Carly Smith, junior middle hitter Taylor Rose, and senior libero Kayla Humphrey are the returning starters. A third senior returns in hitter Corrin James. Head coach MIchelle Isaac expects the team to improve this season although the squad is still young.
Heritage
New head coach Kathie Rutt inherits one starter in senior Rachel Vargas. The Eagles have a second senior in Julia Navaro. Other players are all sophomores:

Leah Rutt, Rebecca Braasch, Rebecca Bonner, Rebecca Heinrich, Jessica Harsaran and Savannah Brunner. Heritage was 8-12 last year and won the KCAC Tournament in Louisville.
Ryle
Tasha Tanner-Lovins returns for her eighth season as head coach with a 170-76 record. The Raiders were 19-17 last year and lost in the regional quarterfinals to Scott. Returning starters are senior Emily Koehler, junior Katie Skelton and junior Kayla Herbstreit. Sophomore Alena Harthun, junior Allison England, and junior Corinne Hutchinson are the top newcomers. “This year we have players that can play many different positions, which will allow for a better offense,” Tanner-Lovins said. “We have returned several starters as well as players that saw some varsity time last year. The majority of the girls played and excelled during their club season, so they are bringing that experience and enthusiasm to Ryle’s team.”

Locals win karate honors at AAU Junior Olympics
Four local karate champions recently competed and medaled at the AAU Junior Olympic Games in Des Moines, Iowa. The medal winners include Elizabeth Davis, 9, of Lakeside Park, who earned three gold medals (kata, bo kata and sparring); Jacob Bennett, 10, of Flo-
rence, who earned two silver medals (bo kata and sparring) and one bronze medal (kata); Nolan Dreyer, 11, of Burlington, who earned two silver medals (sparring and bo kata; and Nick Bachman, 11, of Burlington, who earned a bronze medal in sparring. The tournament is certified by
the International Olympic Committee specifically for athletes under 18 to compete. The only competitions at a higher level would be international tournaments in either Hawaii or Japan. The four local medal winners are currently not planning on attending those events.
St. Henry
The Crusaders graduated five seniors last year and have two returning this season as they try to make another run for a regional title. They were runner-up to Notre Dame last year. Veteran head coach Maureen Kaiser said she has strong hitters in 5-foot-10 junior Taryn Ward, 5-9 freshman Rachel Fortner and 5-10 junior Kelsey Zwick. The Crusaders’ top middle hitters are 6-1 senior Erin Fortner and 5-10 freshman Abbey Bessler. The setter position will be shared by senior Cayla Flood and junior Stephanie Gurren. Junior Rachel D’Agnillo is the starting libero. Kaiser is entering her 20th year as a head coach, 18th at St. Henry, with a 433-247 career record.
Walton-Verona
The Bearcats were 8-15 last year but won their district championship. Long-time head coach Peggy Gafter has four returning players and one senior (Avery Turner) on the roster. Jenalee Ginn is a sophomore setter who had 98 assists last year. Juniors Cede Williams and Casey Bushelman, both hitters, also return. Junior Kelli Dixon played her freshman year but not last season will be a great addition in the middle, said Gaffer. Gaffer hopes the team can contend in the All “A” and postseason tournaments. “We will still be a little inexperienced but are working hard to play to the level we are capable of,” she said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Be considerate
On July 18 members of the Boone County Elite 4-H Equestrian team spent their morning cleaning up other people’s trash. The team, Audrey Kidder, Amber Raisbeck, Emily Momberger, Felicia Schalper, Victoria Accord, Alex Jacobs, Kelsey Conner and Brittney Hardesty, as well as five parent volunteers, worked to clean up three miles of roadway including Cougar Path, Conner Road and parts of Limaburg Road from Route 20 in Hebron. Probably the most often-heard comment was how angry the girls were at how much trash was along the road, how disgusting the trash was, and why didn’t people throw their trash away properly. There was a lot of soda cans and paper trash, but everyone commented that the majority of the trash picked up was beer cans. Comments were made about drinking and driving as well as trashing the road with the cans. There was unanimous agreement that trash makes our community look dirty and that people should take the time to throw away their trash properly and be considerate of others even if it isn’t their own neighborhood. At a latter practice someone said the road was already trashed again. Everyone expressed disappointment. Robin Kidder Bloomfield Court Hebron

Letters of 200 or fewer words and columns of 500 or fewer words have the best chance of being published. All submissions may be edited for length, accuracy and clarity.

First of all, we were very appreciative of all residents along Hopeful Church Road who work hard to keep their yards clean and well-maintained, for it made our cleanup job easier. Second, we would like to say thank you to motorists who use this road and do not litter. We found a relatively small amount of litter, so we believe that most people are aware that trash belongs in a trash can, and not out the car window. While walking along the road, our group discussed what to expect of the businesses on this road. Unfortunately, we found that the businesses were not very diligent about keeping the sidewalks, grassy areas, or even their parking areas cleaned up. This was quite surprising to our group.
Cherry Hill Swim Club is home to the Cherry Hill Dolphins Swim & Dive Team. For the past year, the team looked for creative ways to earn money – their first endeavor was Angie Bailie to mark trash cans throughout the Hopeful Lutheran Church high school swim club specifically for collectyouth group ing aluminum cans. Not only did Shagy Bark Court this raise money, but it helped the Union environment as well. Next, they noticed that little kids drink lots of “juice pouch” See trash? Pick it up drinks.

Children coping with abuse and neglect need more support The troubles of Kentucky’s abused and neglected children last long after they leave the foster care system. Children who age-out of foster care in Kentucky are at high risk of re-entering the justice or welfare system within six months due to criminal activity, drug addiction, pregnancy and homelessness. Across the nation, approximately three million children are reported as abused or neglected every year – more than 65,000 in Kentucky alone. Without someone to represent their best interests, these children become trapped in the maze of the court system and often spend years moving from one temporary shelter to another. This is where the Kentucky Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers step in. CASA volunteers are trained advocates who are appointed by judges to advocate for abused, neglected, or dependent children while they’re in court. Simply put, CASA is the voice of the child in court. Last year, volunteers advocated for more than 2,000 Kentucky children. But during the past two years, the state’s family and juvenile courts saw dramatic increase in abuse, neglect and dependency cases. The total children before the
courts are approximately 17,000, and consequently, there are increased requests from the courts for CASA workers. Many of those requests went unanState Rep. swered due to a Addia lack of available Wuchner volunteers. Abused and Community neglected chilRecorder dren who have guest support from columnist CASA experience better outcomes and are more likely to have a stable educational and social environment than those who do not. With that fact in mind, Gov. Steve Beshear designated Aug. 6 as Kentucky CASA Awareness Day – a day to inform others about CASA and the thousands of children who still need representation. Legislators and family court judges around the state helped kick off CASA’s “Speak-up for a Child Campaign” on that day. Although CASA is a statutorily mandated program, all its funds are raised from private and corporate sources. Wal-Mart is once again proving its commitment to Ken-

tucky families and communities by serving as a corporate partner to both Kentucky CASA and the National CASA Association. On Aug. 6, the Wal-Mart Foundation announced a grant to help Kentucky CASA recruit, train and retain more volunteers – one of the greatest challenges for the CASA program locally. To help address the unique challenges faced by older foster youth, the National CASA Association has developed a new program titled Fostering Futures. The Wal-Mart Foundation has recognized the value of Fostering Futures with a $1.6 million grant to develop and launch the program in 2009. Not only do CASA programs benefit children, they also benefit the state’s economy. In Kentucky, the average cost of keeping a child in care for one year is $28,367. With the dramatic increase in abused and neglected children in Kentucky, CASA desperately needs more volunteers and funding to advocate for these children. If you’d like to support your local CASA program, contact Colleen Bohman at 859-586-1222. State Rep. Addia K. Wuchner is a board member of Kentucky CASA.

Union Bead Boutique has been an outlet for creativity for the last three years. Jessica Wainscott, the owner of Union Bead Boutique, said the store sells beads, offers classes and private parties, does jewelry repairs and fills custom jewelry orders. “I think we are popular because we’re so unique,” Wainscott said. “We offer over 50 different types of classes and we really spend a lot of time thinking of new things (to offer).”
Wainscott said that because the Bead Boutique fills custom orders, gifts can become more personal. The store will also work with brides to design wedding jewelry and tiaras. “We can fit any budget because we have such a wide variety of beads,” Wainscott said. “We also have the largest collection of Swarovski crystals in Northern Kentucky.” This summer the store is offering a special on its classes.

The emerging spirituality of imperfection Trying to be perfect in anything is a huge mistake. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re human. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubly so when it comes to the spiritual part of being human. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said the first prayer of a human is a cry for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;O God, come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me,â&#x20AC;? (Psalm 70) begins a monasticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayer. Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, never did â&#x20AC;&#x153;get religion,â&#x20AC;? but he did become a spiritual man. Through the pain of his life experience he came to realize that unless he made connection with a power greater than himself, he was lost. He was convinced that â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must find some spiritual basis for living, else we die.â&#x20AC;?
Some people think being spiritual means becoming perfect. Not at all. Throughout the centuries there has gradually emerged a spirituality of imperfection. A spirituality of imperfection says that the first step involves facing oneself squarely and seeing ourselves as we are: mixed-up, incomplete, and imperfect. To be human is to be error-prone. We are more than the beasts, less than God, yet somehow we are both. Authors Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham write, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spirituality helps us first to see, and then to understand, and eventually to accept the imperfection that lies at the very core of our human be-ing.â&#x20AC;? Spirituality is not a for-
mula to follow; it is a relationship with God. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection and doing everything right; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about connection. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Messy Spiritualityâ&#x20AC;? Michael Yaconelli states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives. Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality, not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.â&#x20AC;? A more terse description of our flawed nature is contained in Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great God Brown,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man is
born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue.â&#x20AC;? Hopefully along the way we become more humble, loving and compassionate. The steps along the way are not ascending some recognizable glorious staircase called ego, but learning to live the ordinariness of our everyday lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fuss too much about yourself, or fight the truth, just accept yourself and grow,â&#x20AC;? said an old spiritual director. As Henri Nouwen wrote in his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genesee Diary,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He who thinks that he is finished is finished. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are
demons.â&#x20AC;? The secular world does not encourage people to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of our nature. Rather it rages against religious systems which they believe deprive us of our desires and physical vitality. David Tacey says of the secularist, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When religion is rejected, it does not mean that the spirit and soul go away or disappear. They are simply repressed into the unconscious where they become factors of disturbance and causes of psychic suffering.â&#x20AC;? Imperfection is the crack
Local lenders best when issues arise Despite federal efforts to get mortgage lenders to do more to help homeowners remain in the homes, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. More than 200,000 trial loan modifications are now underway, but the government wants double that amount by November. Robin Peach of Burlington is one of those homeowners who have had trouble with her mortgage for the past two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had problems with them in the past, and I started paying them with Quick Collect from Western Union. But, back in March the bank sent two of my payments back to me,â&#x20AC;? Peach says. A letter from the bank said Peach had defaulted on her mortgage because she owes about $570. But, she says, she has regularly sent in her payment via Western Union. Unfortunately, when she does that all she has is a record of sending the money and no receipt showing the bank actually received it. As a result of the uncertainly, Peach started making her payments by Certified Check but says that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped either.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now I stand in a c t i v e foreclosure. They s e n t another payHoward Ain two m e n t s Hey Howard! back to me on Saturday. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not accepting my money. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got about four grand, almost five grand floating around,â&#x20AC;? Peach says. A January letter from her bank says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind in her payments by $2,800, plus $100 in late fees. Peach says she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how the bank came up with those figures but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to get any answers. She hired an attorney in December but says that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped. I had Peach call her bank directly and I got on the line to try to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. Peach says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very frustrated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very busy at work and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to deal with this. But, I have to have a place to live.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, Peach is dealing with an out-of-state lender so she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go over and talk with a manag-
er. Bank officials I talked with on the phone tell me they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her house and would rather she be out of foreclosure. They told me the bank did receive her payments for November and December but just hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t applied them to her account. Yet, they applied the January payment before putting her into active foreclosure. I explained how she now has thousands of dollars in payments she can send and bank officials said they will have someone from their repayment team contact her. Officials say that team should finally be able to get all this confusion resolved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and expressed confidence she could get out foreclosure. Once she gets out of foreclosure Peach says she plans to contact a local savings and loan to see if she can refinance. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always best to have your loan serviced by a local bank or savings and loan because, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever any problem, you have someone you can talk with face-to-face rather than trying to deal with many different people over the phone.

I predict AarĂłn will be at the top of the Food Network star chart in record time. He chatted with everybody, from the anchors to the technicians. The food he prepared with Azteca products was really yummy. The nice thing about the food is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to go,
but not fast food junk. AarĂłn made Beef Barbacoa Smothered Burritos.

Rotary hears about cable future
What is the future of TV? Is it online? Those were the questions Insight’s John Dobken posed as he joined Florence Rotary Club during its Aug. 3 meeting at the Airport Hilton. Dobken serves as the senior manager of business development for InsightBusiness. He traced the history of Internet access from the “Dark Ages” of 56K modem access in 1996 to today’s widespread availability of broadband access. A little-known fact, he said, is that Kentucky ranks 10th in the U.S. for broadband penetration. Dobken prefaced his remarks with a short synopsis of Insight Communications. Founded in 1985 as a cable TV company, Insight has grown into a full-service telecommunications company providing phone, high-speed Internet and video services to more than 700,000 customers in the Midwest. Insight is currently the ninth largest and the fastest growing cable company in the U.S., he said. Dobken explained how widespread availability of broadband connectivity coupled with advances in digital video recording technology has enabled an explosion in new Internet sites featuring online, ondemand video. He illustrated how broadcast TV is changing as control passes from broadcasters to viewers. It is now possible, he
BUSINESS UPDATE Harden awarded membership
Todd Harden of Florence was recently awarded membership to Capital Investment Companies’ President’s Council at the company’s annual meeting in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

said, for viewers to select not only what they want to watch, but when, where and on what device they would like to view their favorite TV shows or entire movies. Dobken cited a few examples of what is currently available online. YouTube, which began posting video clips in 1995, now boasts the addition of 10 hours of new video being uploaded every minute. HULU features fulllength, high-quality episodes of network shows. The Roku player instantly streams movies from Netflix and Amazon Video-OnDemand from the Internet – directly to your TV. Dobken concluded by telling the audience that the threats to the traditional TV industry appear similar to those faced by the music business and newspapers. Revenue and authentication are two of the primary challenges. Expanding choice leads to more intense competition for viewers and more difficulty in attracting advertisers. The only thing that seems certain in the industry is that change will continue. Stay tuned.

Hummingbirds like a sweet treat in their feeders Question: What is the best recipe for making my own solution of hummingbird nectar? I’ve been using 3:1 water to sugar mixture, and they seem to like it. How can I stop the bees from getting into my hummingbird feeder? How long should I leave the feeder up in the fall? I have heard that if you leave it up too long, they will not migrate south for winter, and will die from
the cold. Answer: It is fun and good to make your own sugar-water solution for the hummingbird feeder. Commercial mixes can cost more than homemade sugar-water solutions, and many of them also contain preservatives that might harm the birds. Here is how to make your own: Mix up a solution of about four parts water to one part sugar. This is the best
ratio, because it is about the average amount of sucrose produced in typical flowers that attract hummingbirds.

because microwaving causes a breakdown in the sugar molecule that can change the nutritional value. Cool the mixture and refrigerate. If you continue to have a problem with bees at the feeder, reduce the amount of sugar (or add more water) to create a 5-to-1 ratio. The birds will still use it, but bees probably will not. Do not add red dye. Some information suggests that
red dye can actually harm the birds. Most commercial feeders have sufficient red to attract the birds. Never add honey to the mixture. It will create mold and fungal disease problems. Active feeders will be emptied in a hurry. If you do not get any activity at a feeder for several days, take the feeder down, empty the solution, and replace it with fresh sugar water. Every
week or so feeders, even active feeders, should Mike Klahr be taken down and Community cleaned with Recorder a mild soap columnist detergent, rinsed with bleach, and then rinsed thoroughly with water. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

Failure of the purchaser to effect such insurance shall not affect the validity of the sale or the purchaser’s liability thereunder, but shall entitle, but not require, a lien holder herein, after giving notice to the Commissioner, to effect said insurance and furnish the policy or evidence thereof to the Commissioner, and the premium thereon or the proper portion thereof shall be charged to the purchaser as purchaser’s cost. The property shall be sold subject to ad valorem taxes for the year 2009 and all subsequent years thereafter; easements, restrictions and stipulations of record; assessments for public improvements levied against the property, if any; existing zoning ordinances, statutes, laws, or regulations; and any facts which an inspection and accurate survey of the property may disclose. The amount of the liens before the Court in this action total $128,828.87 together with interest, assessments, taxes and costs herein expended. BIDDERS SHALL BE PREPARED TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS /s/ MASTER COMMISSIONER, BOONE CIRCUIT COURT 6025 Rogers Lane, Burlington, KY 41005 (859) 334-3916/1 mc/nos/98. www.boonecountyky.org (Link to Departments/Agencies to Master Commissioner) 1001491921
