Bellevue’s Creative Hands Artisan Studio is hosting the first ever art show fundraiser for New Perceptions’ ArtAbilities Program. The program is one of many offered by New Perceptions, a protected work environment for adults with mental disabilities and physical delays. Through the program, interested adults at New Perceptions can explore various kinds of art. “We wanted to give them a chance to venture into art if they wanted to,” said Peg Kendall, manager of the program. After seeing all the artwork that was being created, Kendall said they decided it should be shared with others. “We have some awesome talent in-house and we wanted to get it into the community and share it with everyone else,” Kendall said. “We’re hoping to showcase what they’re capable of doing.” Kendall said a friend of hers happened to stop by Creative Hands and mentioned the idea of the show to Owner Sasha Scribner. “One of the reasons we opened this gallery was to reach out to the community and spread art any way we can, so I’m happy to do something like this,” Scribner said. The work, which consists of about 30 pieces, will be on display

The juvenile prank of doorbell ringing and running has some Cold Spring residents voicing their frustration and concern. Residents are especially annoyed that the after-dark pranks come as late as 3:30 a.m. Beth Jacobs, a resident of the Sturbridge subdivision, and a neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, showed up at the July 24 council meeting saying their door bells have been rung multiple times between 9:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. The residents also both expressed their concern about the safety of their neighborhood because of the behavior of juveniles hanging out there. “I walk the neighborhood, and I don’t think they live in While it sounds our subdivi- like innocent sion,” Jacobs juvenile said. M a n y behavior, the people in the police and city neighborhood won’t take it call police seriously. about the behavior because they fear being retaliated against or targeted by the suspects, Jacobs said. “Because when people have called before the police can’t do anything if they didn’t see it themselves,” Jacobs said. Jacobs said she understood that police were responding to calls quickly, but that juveniles often run off into the woods before they arrive. Mayor Mark Stoeber said the city is aware that juveniles sit at the entrance of a subdivision or street with radios to warn other juveniles if police are coming. “I really admire your willingness to take care of your own area,” Stoeber said to Jacobs. But Stoeber said he’d caution Jacobs and others from taking any action themselves, but instead to call police as soon as an incident occurs. While it sounds like innocent juvenile behavior, the police and city take it seriously because some of the behavior in some incidents sounds like more than pranks. “There are door bells being rung all over the city,” Stoeber said. “My door bell was rung at 2:30 a.m.” Chief Ed Burk III said he does not believe the juveniles knocking on doors and running are necessarily behind some recent home break-ins as Jacobs’ had said she was concerned about during the meeting. Reports of the door knocking incidents typically do go up in the summer months when school isn’t in session, and go back down in the fall, Burk said. Burk said residents know their neighborhood and should call police if they see anything unusual, but that police are out watching the neighborhoods.

The fees for using a credit card/debit card is charged by Vital Check, the company, authorized by the Administrative Office of the Courts, said Campbell Circuit Court Clerk Taunya Nolan Jack. Vital Check has installed and will maintain the machines, but none of this fee is used by the courts, Jack said. There is a flat fee of $2.50 for each debit card usage, and credit card fees will be on a sliding scale of $2.50 per charge under $50, and $4 for charges between $50 to $100. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They always know that there is going to be a charge, we tell them exactly what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chart posted they can refer to,â&#x20AC;?

Sewer service: What SD1 is building By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky expects to fund as much as $112 million in improvements to the oft-unseen sewer network beneath peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet this fiscal year. Most of the projects in the capital expenditure budget will help SD1 meet requirements set forth in the federal consent decree, a binding legal agreement, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate sewer overflows and improve water quality. While the most of projects for improving the Eastern Regional system in Campbell County have been completed in 2008 or 2009, including a new $38.5 million treatment plant in Alexandria, there are multiple improvements in the county scheduled for work in the fiscal year 2010 that started July 1, 2009 and ends June 30, 2010.

Spending in Kenton and Boone

About $59 million of SD1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 capital improvement budget is expected to be spent on improvements in the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Regional system including a large underground storage tunnel known as the Western Regional Conveyance System and a new treatment plant in Boone County. SD1 has also received about $4 million in federal stimulus money that will be used to fund about half of the cost of four projects in Kenton County. One of the projects will include modifications on a storm water retention basin along I-75 south of Kyles Lane, and to construct a series of berms to hold back water on the flat grassy hill along I-75 in the Cut-in-the-Hill where the former interstate right-ofway went through. The projects are aimed at helping reducing SD1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest combined sewer overflow (CSO) called Willow Run directly beneath the Brent Spence Bridge on the Ohio River in Covington. There are also two stimulus-funded projects along Banklick Creek including the creation of a six-acre wetland where Ky. 17 passes over both the creek and railroad tracks. Further upstream on the Banklick in Independence there will be a stream bank restoration project where the bank has eroded and pipes carrying sewage have become exposed and have broken because of that. All the stimulus-funded projects are scheduled to be bid out by February 2010, said James Turner, program manager for SD1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital improvements program. â&#x20AC;˘ SD1 is eliminating two of its larger combined sewer overflows at pump stations where Manhattan Harbour in Dayton is being built through a cost sharing plan with the developer.

The Manhattan Harbour project is already about 75 percent complete. The project includes the construction of an 84-inch line replacing a smaller 30-inch line that will help store a mix of

storm and sanitary sewer water during heavy rains until the water can properly drain to a treatment plant instead of overwhelming the two pump stations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected cause an annual combined sewer overflow reduction by 56 million gallons, said Chris Novak, assistant general manager and director of SD1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital improvements program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now without that project it just goes right into the river,â&#x20AC;? Novak said. SD1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the Manhattan Harbour project is $14.2 million, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending a significant amount of money to eliminate combined sewer overflows,â&#x20AC;? Novak said. â&#x20AC;˘ Another project is the elimination of a pump station for sanitary sewer service on Ripple Creek Road in Cold Spring with a new gravity line that will take the flow elsewhere and eliminate overflow issues at a cost of about $930,000, Novak said.

The pump station, serving about 67 residential properties and six non-residential properties overflows an estimated 11 times a year during wet weather for a total volume of about 170,000 gallons annually. The overflow discharges into a tributary of Riffle Creek, which flows into the Licking River. â&#x20AC;˘ Changes to utilities along Covert Run Pike in Bellevue is a project SD1 is participating with by providing about $750,000 in construction funding for the project for storm water and sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements. The City of Bellevue is taking the lead on the project, and SD1 is providing funding, Novak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of this work is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re improving a system thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging,â&#x20AC;? said James Turner, program manager for SD1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital improvements program. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something everyone should care about even if

Beyond 2010

Beyond 2010, SD1 is investigating how to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows at small pump station in Crestview and Harrison Harbor on the Ohio River near Melbourne. SD1 is also planning an about $20 million project that would start in 2011 to build a new pump station near Ash Street in Silver Grove and change the flow of untreated sewage uphill to the new treatment plant in Alexandria instead of the current system along the Ohio River all the way to a treatment plant in Bromley in Kenton County. Another project SD1 is planning for 2011 and beyond is the reduction of storm water inflow into the sanitary sewer system along Vernon Lane in Fort Thomas by working with home owners to disconnect down spouts from sewer lines and finding a place for the water to go without causing flooding issues. they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it every day, Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buried infrastructure really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the same attention as roads and bridges,â&#x20AC;? he said.

BRIEFLY Dayton pot bust

Dayton Police made one of the city’s largest marijuana busts when they found 70 to 80 marijuana plants growing behind a house in the 900block of Maple Avenue July 20. Police arrested Charles Hon Jr., 28, and charged him with felony cultivation of marijuana. Neighbors had complained about the marijuana growing in the backyard and frequent traffic and disturbances at the house, said Sgt. Mark Antrobus, with the Dayton Police. The suspect told police he did not know anything about the plants, according to the police report. Two safes from the house were confiscated containing items like seeds, plastic bags and pipes, Antrobus said. The police also confiscated marijuana plant magazines. - Kentucky News Service

Green Derby may reopen

Fort Thomas businessman David Hosea said if he can secure the release of state liens on the property, he will re-open the 62-year-old Green Derby restaurant in Newport, which closed June 28.

Hosea said he is optimistic he can open the restaurant in September. The previous owners said a drop in customers and mismanagement led to the restaurant's closing. The bank foreclosed on the building. The restaurant, however, has a loyal following. About 30-40 people a day stop at the restaurant expecting to eat, Hosea said. Hosea said he would keep the same menu and hire back many of the employees. The Green Derby was founded in 1947 by Wilbur and Helen Cummins. The Cummins' descendants continued to run the Green Derby until the end. The restaurant employed 15 family members and 37 people overall at the time of its closing. - Kentucky News Service

Teaching to fit in middle school groove By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

With help from the Girl Scouts, the unfamiliar world of a new and bigger school becomes a little less daunting during the annual Camp Camel for students preparing to enter sixth grade at Campbell County Middle School. The day camp covers everything from finding lockers to teaching former elementary students how to “slide to the left” at a school dance when the “Cha Cha Slide” by DJ Casper is played. About 300 students, or almost 75 percent of the incoming sixth grade students, attended this year’s Camp Camel, Monday Aug. 3. The camp included sessions about anti-bullying, a “Let’s Dance” class, study skills taught by a librarian, locker-opening challenges, and a fashion show to teach them what is and isn’t accepted by the school’s dress code. Students criss-crossed the school to make it to their sessions on a timed schedule similar to what they’ll be doing when classes start Aug. 10. Sixth-grade student Jimmy Lackey of Melbourne said he was worried about finding his way through the school because of how big it is. To help students learn the layout of the school, they played a scavenger hunt.

Terri Straub, far left, membership outreach specialist for the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road Council, gives directions to new sixth grade students entering Campbell County Middle School this fall during Camp Camel, an orientation day from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3 Teams of four or five students carried a hula hoop together without letting go to stay together while using a map to learn the school building’s layout and find everything from the art room and assistant principal’s office. “It’s way easier when you walk around and see where everything is,” Lackey said. Jacob Menear of Highland Heights said he was concerned about being able to get back to and find his locker between classes. “It’s hard to find your locker,” Menear said.

The goal of the camp is easing anxiety about entering middle school, said Terri Straub, membership outreach specialist for the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road Council, the group that organizes the annual event. Students go from being top dog in elementary school to being low man on the totem pole in sixth grade, Straub said. “There’s a lot of intimidation factors, a lot of fears, and basically it all comes down to an unknown,” she said. The students don’t know the building or the teachers, and

Straub organizes similar readiness events at nine other area middle schools, and the camp is in its ninth year at CCMS, which was the pilot program for all the others that followed. Students had a chance at Camp Camel to talk to a teacher about what supplies are appropriate to bring to school, and there were

sessions for girls about maintaining a positive self-image. There’s even a session taught by the Northern Kentucky Independent Health District to help them learn about hygiene as they enter puberty, she said. “Our goal is by the end of the day, these kids are going to be prepared for the first day of school and the first year of school,” Straub said.

Local company donates to Fourth St. Elementary By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

The gardens at Fourth Street Elementary School in Newport are looking more colorful now thanks to local company Johnson Controls, Inc. As part of a community project, employees from the Erlanger plant donated and planted a variety of flowers in the school’s gardens Tuesday, July 28. “They contacted us and said they wanted to do a community project, and we thought it would be great,” said Principal Emily Daniels. “It’s nice to see people willing to help out local schools.” Along with the flowers, the employees also raised enough donations to give the Fourth Street students school supplies, which will be given out at open house

Stringer said the project came about after the school was brought up as a possible recipient for the company’s Blue Sky Involve, a foundation that encourages working with charities and schools promoting leadership development and environmental stewardship. Through the program, Stringer said the school was able to get a grant for $1,000 to go towards the Family Resource Center.

Schools Master of Arts in Public History starts next spring

NEWS FROM NKU

The Northern Kentucky University Board of Regents approved today a new master’s program in public history. The program, which will begin next January, will provide students with content, theory, method and practice learning in preparation for a non-academic humanities career. Individuals with a public history degree are employed in museums,

libraries, archives, historic preservation, heritage tourism, cultural resource management, public policy and education. Public history training broadens career opportunities for traditional and non-traditional students and offers new career opportunities to retirees and others seeking to change professional direction. The degree will provide history and other humanities students with a terminal professional degree. It will also offer an opportunity for students holding a master’s

degree in history or another humanities field to complete a graduate certificate in public history. The program will require between 33 and 36 semester hours – 30 in history content and methodology courses and a six-hour sequence in one of four areas: world language, informatics, geographic information systems or non-profit management. The university expects an enrollment of 17-20 students in the initial semester and an increase between 6-10 new students each year.

Ruberg stands out on Brossart program after stints at Ohio high schools Anderson and Amelia. Overall, Gokey comes in with eight years of head-coaching experience. One of the many reasons Gokey came to Campbell County was because a good friend of hers had a daughter on school’s golf team. It has been over a week since Gokey was hired and she has seen three of her tryouts rained out.

Last fall, Bishop Brossart’s Abby Ruberg was the only girl golfer from Campbell County to qualify for the state tournament. Furthermore, according to her coach, Suzette Glaab, Ruberg was Bishop Brossart’s first girl golfer to ever qualify for state. Now a senior, Ruberg hopes to return to the state tournament when it takes place this fall, Oct. 8-10, at the Bowling Green Country Club. Over the summer, Ruberg performed well in the Northern Kentucky 7-Up Junior Golf Tour and wishes that she had started at a younger age. “I actually never picked up a club until after my freshman year. I was actually really, really into soccer,” Ruberg said. “I think the one regret I have is not starting when I was younger.” Ironically, Ruberg’s teammates are very young and many of them have been playing golf since the fifth grade. Besides Ruberg, the roster is made up of freshmen Amanda Pfefferman and Lauren Seiter; eighth-graders Brittany Burkhardt and Madison Schneider; and seventh-grader Taylor Burkhardt. “I think it is really cool that they are starting at a young age,”

Bishop Brossart senior-to-be Abby Ruberg will be one of the top players again this year in the 8th Region and the leader of her school’s golf team. Ruberg said. “Within two years I have gotten to this point, I just wish that I would have started back when they were starting.” Ruberg admits that she might have started too late to pursue a college scholarship in golf, but she currently has a 3.9 grade point average and is already thinking about where she wants to go to college.

Drew McDonald has dominated his age group in the 7-Up Junior Golf Tour this summer. He needed that winning experience to pull out the biggest win of the season. McDonald won the tour championship in the 12-13 age group with a two-round total of 158 July 27-28. The first round was at Lassing Pointe in Union, the second at Boone Links in Burlington. McDonald will be a seventhgrader at St. Joseph’s in Cold Spring. He beat Ryle’s Logan Gamm by one stroke. Five strokes separated the top four finishers. McDonald won six events in the regular season. “I feel good,” McDonald said. “I came in today knowing I was two down. I had a shot to win, I just had to play well. People I played with played well. It was a good battle.” McDonald still trailed by two on hole 14 in the final round, when he scrambled for par after his drive left him in a bad lie. His

playing partners bogeyed the same hole, opening the door for him to take the lead over the next three holes. McDonald has been playing since age 3, and his home course is A.J. Jolly in Alexandria. He plans to attend Newport Central Catholic and said he has a chance to make NCC’s golf team next year.

Camels’ boys golf looks to reload after losing top players By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com

The Campbell County boys’ golf team will turn to four returning golfers from last year’s team in hopes to replace graduated seniors Michael Petering, Jordan Wyatt and Greg Schmidt. Petering and Wyatt were two of Northern Kentucky’s top golfers last season. In fact, Petering was the medalist at the 8th Region tournament with a low score of 74. The Camels’ four returning golfers include senior Brad Forman, junior Jake Ripberger, junior Brandon Boyers and sophomore Sam Mefford. Campbell County head coach Wayne Heringer said Forman is the team’s “most consistent player returning from last season” and that Ripberger “has improved greatly.”

“Even though we lost those three seniors, the golfers that we have returning have been working on their game and I am looking forward to a great season,” Heringer said. “I think we can surprise a few people.” During the team tryouts, Ripberger shot the lowest score, 79. Joining the Camels’ returning golfers are first-year players senior Cody Young, junior Keith Scharstein, sophomore Dalton Griffin and freshman Andrew Perrin. “If one of the four new players can step up their game we should have a good season,” Heringer said. Campbell County will have to play well if it hopes to contend with regional favorite Pendleton County, which returns four of its top five from last year’s 8th Region title team.

Bishop Brossart

The Mustangs (8th Region) will also return four of its varsity golfers from last season. Leading the team will be seniors Ben Kroger and Jordan Verst. Other returning golfers include sophomores Bryan Kraus and Eric Walz. “The team is looking to improve on where they have placed in the regional tournament and qualify for the state tournament,” Bishop Brossart head coach Christ Holtz said. Last year, Bishop Brossart finished ninth in the 8th Region tournament, but won the 10th Region All “A” title.

Newport Catholic

Leading the Thoroughbreds (8th Region) this season will be

returning senior golfers Tyler Lampe, Adam Ulbricht and Jared Leick. Returning junior Brady Gray is also one of the top returning golfers. Lampe was the team’s low scorer last year. During tryouts, first-year golfer sophomore Andy Miller shot the lowest average. NewCath hopes to improve its 5-12 record from a year ago.

Highlands

Second-year head coach John Gessenhues is “excited for the future” for his Highlands’ boys’ golf program (8th Region). Currently, the Bluebirds’ roster consists of only one senior, one junior and six others who are in grades 7 through 10. Highlands’ No. 1 and No. 2 golfers figure to be seventh-grader Parker Harris and sophomore Hunter Majewski.

“Half of my roster is made up of middle school students, but they are all really solid golfers that shoot in the mid-40s,” Gessenhues said. “We will do well this year, but our future looks really bright.”

Bellevue

At the time of the preview Bellevue (8th Region) head coach Rob Sanders was in the hospital having surgery and could not provide any information on his team.

Dayton

Elizabeth Wilson, who is entering her second year as a teacher at Dayton (8th Region), takes over the boys’ golf program. The Greendevils are still determining their roster and Wilson is currently recruiting the school’s student body for more golfers.

Soccerama to celebrate sport’s history By James Weber jweber@nky.com

John Horton is hoping to create new soccer fans in Northern Kentucky. Horton, the former longtime Covington Catholic head boys’ soccer coach, is looking to give local boys’ prep players a lot of exposure in August. He is the chair of this year’s Soccerama, a series of preseason exhibition games at Ryle High School Aug. 7-8. The exhibition features 23 Northern Kentucky schools and will be important benchmarks as they prepare for the regular season to begin Aug. 17. Horton said while sports such as basketball and football have a broad base of interested spectators, soccer teams have to work harder to promote themselves. “We hope to bring a lot of people and raise the interest in boys’ high school soccer,” he said. “And we want the kids participating to feel good in themselves. We’re looking to bring a bit of interest and put players

in the spotlight, let them show what they can do.” The exhibition will take place on Ryle’s artificial turf soccer/football field. Besides soccer, Ryle will add a lot of off-field activities. Food and sports vendors will be there, and the armed services will have a climbing wall. Various dance teams will perform among other activities. “We’ll make it like a festival atmosphere,” Ryle head boys’ soccer coach Stephen Collins said. “Ryle has never hosted this before. When we agreed to host it, Coach Horton and I decided to go all out.” The schedule starts with an evening session Friday, Aug. 7, then separate early and late sessions Saturday, Aug. 8. Admission is $5 per session or $10 for all three. Collins and Horton said the Soccerama will also celebrate the history of boys soccer in Northern Kentucky. A program to be sold at the tourney contains a thorough history of each

Coaches of participating teams had the chance to spotlight certain players or aspects of their program. All-time statistical records and postseason histories are also in the program. Horton, who began coaching in 1979, compiled the historical data. “A lot of the things I just knew from being there,” he said. “I was a witness or heard the story. It’s a labor of love. I love the high school game.”

You can help cut down on smog

It thrives during summer. You can barely see it coming, but at its worst it has been known to kill. It is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems, but it does not discriminate – affecting every person it comes into contact with. What is this silent pollutant? Smog. The word itself comes from a combination of smoke and fog, two things that have a similar look to smog’s hazy appearance. However, the white vapor that makes up smog is actually a form of air pollution. “Smog is a very serious issue in our region, negatively affecting the health of our residents and the environment we live in,” said Steve Pendery, president of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) and Campbell County executive judge. “It’s a concern that should be on the minds of everyone in the area - especially during this time of year.” Smog can be caused by a vari-

ety of chemical reactions, but in the Greater Cincinnati area the main component is groundlevel ozone. This type of ozone is the very same gas is found Emily that miles above Feldman earth’s surface in Community the ozone layer, when ozone is Press guest but close to the columnist ground it is labeled as ground-level ozone or “bad” ozone. Smog and ground-level ozone are both created when heat and sunlight react with vehicular and industrial emissions, causing dangerous effects on people’s health and the environment. Smog affects the lungs’ working capacity, making it harder to breath. It can cause shortness of breath, pain, wheezing and coughing as well as nose and eye irritation. Inhaling smog can cre-

ate longer-lasting health problems, such as, chronic inflammation of lung tissue, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks, lung disease and chronic bronchitis. Throughout the year, air pollution levels are monitored. When there are high levels of emissions in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals of the pollution. Local media outlets announce when a smog alert is in effect - but smog alert information can also be found by calling 1800-621-SMOG. Residents can also sign up to receive an e-mail or fax alert by calling the number. Smog is particularly harmful for children, the elderly and people with asthma or respiratory problems because their lungs are more sensitive to air pollution. It is recommended that these groups limit outdoor activity during smog alerts. There are also a variety of ways to reduce individual air pollution. “By staying informed and

Requirements for swimming pools in the county I received an e-mail request last week suggesting an article on swimming pools and requirements surrounding their use. The writer pointed out the types of pools that are now for sale at many retail outlets, the ease with which the pools can be set up, and that many of these pools are relatively inexpensive. The writer also attached some pictures of a couple of these pools. The request brought to light a real issue that is occurring in many of our communities and that may put many of our children at risk. The pools in question are self-supporting and designed to be stand-alone units. Many of them can be put up and taken down with relative ease. What is important to realize is that many, if not all of these pools, are required to provide the same protections and meet the same standards as an in-ground pool or conventional above-ground pools. Failure to comply with these requirements can create liability issues for the pool and/or land

owner. Swimming pool construction and maintenance is an area covered more by local ordinance than state regulations. Most cities have ordinances regulating the construction and maintenance of inground and above-ground pools. Those regulations may vary somewhat by city, but in this article, I will discuss typical regulations found in city's zoning ordinances. Most city ordinances require that pools be located in the rear yard or in a side yard if a rear yard location is not possible due to the typography or unusual shape of the lot. All in-ground pools are required to have a fence or wall at least four feet in height, to include self-closing and self-latching gates around the pool or around the entire property where the pool is located. Said fences, walls or gates need to be constructed in a manner that a child may not reach the pool from the street or any other

property without climbing the fence or wall or opening the selfclosing and self-latching gate. Above-ground pools are also required to have a fence or wall with self-closing and self-latching gates at least four feet high also constructed to prevent children from accessing the pool without climbing the fence or gate. However, the fence or wall may be the actual wall of the above-ground pool providing that wall is at least four feet in height above the surrounding ground level. Also any ladder leading up to the pool or to a deck around the pool must have a self-closing and self-latching door or gate or be retractable so as to fold up off the ground when the pool is not in use. All swimming pools and associated equipment need to be constructed and in accordance with various city ordinances and codes. Those regulations typically govern such things as electrical wiring around the pool, the length of a diving board in comparison with

the rest of the pool, the depth of the water under a diving board and the distance from the end of the diving board to the up slope in the pool. Activities around a pool can be dangerous and result in serious injuries or death. Pool owners can never be too cautious especially with toddlers around a pool or teenagers goofing off around a pool. I have seen suits filed against homeowners from such things as a diving accident where a person becomes a paraplegic or quadriplegic that result in substantial money judgments against homeowners even though it seemed like the homeowners did nothing wrong. In any case where someone has very serious injuries such as paralysis, juries understandably feel sorry for that person and sometimes look for a way to give that person some compensation in the suit even though there seems to be no liability on the part of the homeowner. Some practical safety rules

around a pool are no running, controls on diving, no swimming or diving while drinking or after consumJames A. ing alcohol, preDaley cautions as to Community slippery surfaces Recorder around the pool or steps and ladguest ders of the pool, columnist and a very careful watch over young children. Pool activities can certainly be a lot of fun but can also result in tragedy if extreme caution is not used. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

What do you like and dislike about the health care proposals currently before Congress? “I like nothing about any of them. The government needs to keep their hands off my health insurance and my health care. If they can come up with a reasonable plan to help the 20 million or so who unintentionally can’t get it, I would consider but not for those who choose not to have health insurance and not for noncitizens of our Republic.” M.C.

stituents. They are trying to ram something through in less than 30 days – they won’t even take the time to read and understand the proposed bill. To do something of this magnitude needs the proper attention and understanding of the people proposing and approving the bill. I think they just want ‘to do’ it no matter the consequences.” R.A.V.

“Not much to like. Do not want the government more involved. Government is the biggest part of the problem now. There is no way to cover more people for less money and give the same care. Do I want less care? No!” J.B.

“Dislikes: No constitutional authority for such a proposal; forcing older Americans to regularly receive counseling regarding ‘end of life’ options; forcing all Americans to fund abortions; deceiving Americans into thinking this is free; deceiving Americans into thinking this will result in improved care; another step closer to socialism. Likes: I’ll get back to you when I find one!” M.K.

“The health care proposal currently before Congress is the biggest sham the government has ever tried to put over the con-

“I dislike everything about Obama’s Healthcare proposals in granting medical coverage to all Americans. Let’s just ‘light up

another cigarette in the White House lawn, share a beer’ and discuss yet another hypocritical asinine ideas about rights. “No one in this country should feel they are entitled without earning. The drug companies swear research for today’s cost. The HMO’s swear unfair payments. Granted, both seem to be doing well. You do, too. The ‘Hot-Line’ gets you as far as their ability to pay, although known-left to the sniffles and low-grade temps at the emergency room paid for by me and you. Nothing is done. “I am retired military of 25 years service, which included a combat tour. What have you taken from me Obama and what might it cost me and my wife of 40 years medically?” J.W. “I oppose this plan because of the high cost, my distrust of the federal government’s ability to handle any program efficiently, and I worry the time to get an appointment to see a doctor will be months under this program.

Next question Should Major League Baseball reinstate Pete Rose? Why or why not? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “Just look at Canada’s, Great Britain’s and Massachusetts’ health plans to see the problems they have. “Look at how badly the government has run the post office and Social Security and you see just how bad health care could be. If this health plan is so good why has the president tried to stop all debate by those who question the plan? Is he hiding something?” A.S. “To me it is a challenge in and of itself. “Humans eventually encroach on the habitat and domain of creatures. “Some enthusiasts compel leg-

islation that protects some or many at the expense of others, be it creatures or humans. “If someone diminished your territory, property and source of food, etc ..., how would you feel and react? “To me an appropriate compromise is to safely attempt to rescue and humanely capture them, transport them, and release them in a more diverse habitat ala more rural and wild that hopefully will allow them to exist and thrive better in their own turf area.” JJJR “What I like about the current health care proposal is that smart, informed Americans are rejecting it and doing so very loudly. If you are following Obama blindly down the path to socialism, it is time to open your eyes, read the Constitution and think for yourselves. “Sure, the system is not without its problems, but do you really want some politician in Washington who admits that he hasn’t even read the health care bill to ‘solve’ them?” L.A.D.B.

Life

CCF Recorder

August 6, 2009

Considering the surprises of life Have you ever stopped spontaneously at a gas station, talked with a stranger at the next pump, and left with a great job offer? Did the university you chose for educational purposes introduce you to your spouse? Did you lose track of the wisest schoolteacher you ever had, wish you could have her advice now, and a week later in a crowded mall see her again? Have you ever unexpectedly met a physician who soon proved vital for your health? Many occurrences in our lives seem accidental or completely by chance. And the odds are thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what they are. But there are a few others that seem so much more

to us in their impact and personal meaning. Yet the causes are undetectable. What can we call such occurrences? One melodious word is serendipity. A serendipity is an unexpected happy occurrence, or, as Webster defines it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;making desirable discoveries by accident.â&#x20AC;? Others might say that all such unexpected events, no matter how coincidentally bizarre, are just â&#x20AC;&#x153;blind fate.â&#x20AC;? We might even feel childish or superstitious to see them as anything more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though we sense them as otherwise. Causality is inadequate to explain such phenomena. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not being weird in sensing there may be more to it. In the well-respected

field of Jungian psychology, however, such uncaused but amazingly meaningful and spontaneous occurrences are expressed by another term â&#x20AC;&#x201C; synchronicity. Jung called synchronicity â&#x20AC;&#x153;a non-causal but meaningful relationship between physical and psychic events â&#x20AC;Ś a special instance of acausal orderedness.â&#x20AC;? Dr. David Richo says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What makes chance into synchronicity is the consciousness in us of the vaster design that is unfolding. Chance happens to us; synchronicity happens in us.â&#x20AC;? Those more spiritually oriented may speak of it as grace. From the vantage point of hindsight we look back in our lives and believe

we see the providence of God working subtly. Though our actions were completely free and spontaneous, and there was no coercion or auto-suggestion, these few unexplainable events happened and worked to our benefit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A coincidence is a minor miracle in which God wishes to remain anonymous.â&#x20AC;? The late psychiatrist M. Scott Peck wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become more and more impressed by the frequency of statistically highly improbable events. In their improbability, I gradually began to see the fingerprints of God. On the basis of such events in my own life and in the lives of my patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that grace is real. ...We who are properly

skeptical and scientificminded may be inclined to dismiss this force since we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch it and have no decent way to measure it. Yet it exists. It is real.â&#x20AC;? Another professional, psycho-therapist Robert A. Johnson, refers to grace as â&#x20AC;&#x153;slender threadsâ&#x20AC;? touching our lives: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The possibility of the slender threads operating at all times is so staggering that most of us canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear it. ...It is probably true that we live in a universe with more meaning in it than we can comprehend or even tolerate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is not meaningless; it is overflowing with meaning, pattern and connec-

Freeze blueberries, unwashed in single layer, uncovered, on a cookie sheet until frozen hard. Then pour into containers.

Glierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Goettafest 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Total Celebration of all Things Goetta!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Walk for life

PROVIDED.

Anna Bradtmueller, Jane Rudnick and Caroline Miller all from St. Joseph Elementary School in Cold Spring gather for a picture June 7 during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cross the Bridge for Lifeâ&#x20AC;? on the Newport Southbank Bridge. Hundreds from Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky participated in the walk across the Purple People Bridge. For information on the event, visit www.walkthebridge.com.

The ninth annual Glierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Goettafest will be held Aug. 7-9, at Newport's Riverfront Levee, just down the steps from the Newport Aquarium. Goetta (pronounced get-uh) is a blend of pork, beef, spices, and nutritious steel cut oats. Glier's, founded in 1946, is the largest producer of goetta in the world. Glier's Goettafest began in 2001. The Goettafest story is very simple according to Mark Balasa, marketing director for Glier's Goetta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greater Cincinnatians love their goetta and many make it a special family tradition,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goettafest is a terrific way to bring everyone together to try new and familiar goetta dishes and be entertained. Goettafest is like a big family reunion!â&#x20AC;? More than 65,000 Goetta lovers gather from near and far at the three-day festival. Glier's Goettafest continues to be one of the fastest-growing events in the region. This year's festival will feature more than 30 different Goetta dishes. Many of the best local festival food vendors and restaurants gather to cook a variety of

goetta dishes. Expect to see returning favorites such as Mick Noll's Goetta Reuben, and Goetta Balls. Papa John's offers the famous Goetta Pizza and Goetta Calzones. Cincinnati favorites such as Busken Bakery, with Goetta Goobers and Goetta Fudge Brownies, will also participate. What's New for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event? How about Goetta Sushi, and other Goetta infused Chinese dishes created by our new food vendor Yat Ka Mein? Chili Rocks has created six-way Goetta and Goetta coneys with all the toppings. Glier's Turkey Goetta will be featured on Colonial Cottage's new Goetta Hot Brown. Continuous live music, including a mix of emerging talent and established local favorites is a hallmark of Goettafest. Along with the music, festival guests can enjoy the many Goettafest games and children's rides. Look for the return of the popular Goetta Toss and the Goetta Slide games. Proceeds from the games will go to the local Covington charity, Welcome House. The world's only Goetta Vending Machine will be on hand dispensing specially

priced rolls of Glier's Original Goetta. Additionally the Glier Gear booth will feature several new, original, goetta themed collectable T-shirts. Glier's provides a huge shade tent for guests. Beverages, including soft drinks, water, and Budweiser beer, can be purchased at the festival. Admission is

free and parking is available at the Levee and surrounding area. For more information contact Mark Balasa at 859291-1800 x 225, 513-9108232, or at mark@goetta.com. A menu and entertainment listing can be found at www.goettafest.com.

Donna Herrmann-Vogel of Melbourne has been named Big Sister of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. The honor is especially meaningful to HerrmannVogel since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked for the agency for 25 years. She received the award not for service to her employer, but for her dedication in her role as Big Sister to Kaydee, an 11-year-old she has mentored for four years. Herrmann-Vogel serves as the Program Director Big Brothers Big Sisters, and is responsible for every aspect of the delivery of mentoring services to 1,400 area children. The non-profit agency, a United Way partner, matches positive adult role models with children who need them. Herrmann-Vogel says she was surprised to learn sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been chosen as Big Sister of the Year, but the agency felt her relationship with Kaydee couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go without recognition. Herrmann-Vogel has met with Kaydee at school each week during lunch for four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kaydee was very quiet and leery at first,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She hardly spoke to me the entire first year, but now she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut up, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine with me!â&#x20AC;? That kind of patience and understanding proved to be just what Kaydee needed. In addition, HerrmannVogel takes the time to get to know Kaydeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests, even helping her â&#x20AC;&#x153;adoptâ&#x20AC;? a baby chick HerrmannVogelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter brought

Barbara Lichtenstein accepts 2009 Individual Volunteer Leadership Award.

Children’s Advocacy Center volunteer wins national award The National Children’s Alliance has presented its 2009 Individual Volunteer Leadership Award to Barbara Lichtenstein. She designed the Northern Kentucky Children's Advocacy Center's new facility, culminating her 22 years of volunteer service to the center. Lichtenstein received the award at the Alliance’s annual awards dinner in Washington, D.C. in early June. The Individual Volunteer Leadership Award honors outstanding leadership in the development, continuation or enhancement of a Children’s Advocacy Center. The individual honored must have demonstrated resourcefulness, creativity and action on behalf of a Center. In making the award, the Alliance recognized Lichtenstein's persistence in achieving her dream of establishing a warm, welcoming environment for children who have suffered abuse or witnessed a violent crime. In late April, the Northern Kentucky Children's Advocacy Center opened its new facility on Houston Road in Florence, a facility Ms. Lichtenstein not only designed, but helped bring into reality. “Barbara volunteered her time and expertise to design a building that provides care

and comfort for children and their families, as well as efficient spaces for the multi-disciplinary team that comes together to serve those children,” said Vickie Henderson, executive director of the Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center. “Truly, the Center is a testament to Barbara's talent, kindness and hard work.” The National Children's Alliance is a professional membership organization dedicated to helping local communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective, efficient, and put the needs of the child first. The Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center serves an eight-county region, providing a coordinated approach to the evaluation and treatment of child abuse, as well as assistance to children who witnessed a violent crime. It was accredited as a Children’s Advocacy Center in 1987. The center is supported by the Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky as part of its mission to enhance health, educational and social services in Northern Kentucky.

Funds to help elderly services The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments announced that $430,000 will be distributed to 10 organizations throughout Greater Cincinnati to help meet transportation needs of the elderly and disabled. “These projects are very important because they provide mobility and life sustaining transportation to some of our most vulnerable citizens,” said OKI Board President and Campbell County Judge Executive Steve Pendery. “The new vehicles that will be purchased through this program are vital transportation lifelines to those who need them the most.” The funds will be used by area organizations to purchase accessible vehicles to transport elderly and disabled passengers. “These vehicles will greatly help local organizations provide safe transportation for the elderly and disabled,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “It has been a true honor for OKI to administer these funds for projects that have been a tremendous help and have a huge impact on those who were previously unable or limited in their travel.” SHARE at NKY.com

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

NEW YORK its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
