Hitting the field
Inside the lines
When art and photography teacher Brian Harmon wanted to teach his students about lines this year, he used a ball of string. Instead of having his students draw lines, Harmon forced them to think about intersecting lines by having a class of Art I students crisscross lines of purple and gold string across each other across the school’s outdoor courtyard to create a piece of Installation art that had to be viewed by walking around or through it.

County planning action about KACo By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Campbell County Fiscal Court Commissioner Ken Rechtin is pushing for the county to take a public action or stance in reference to two groups that service counties and cities in Kentucky. The Lexington Herald-Leader has published a series of stories about the spending of both the Kentucky Association of Lovely Counties (KACo) and the Kentucky League of Cities. Both KACo and the League of Cities are being investigated by State Auditor Crit Luallen. Pendery “The way KACo has been run, and the way the Kentucky League of Cities has been run is pathetic,” Rechtin said. Rechtin said he thought it was telling that the taxpayer-funded entity like KACo did not disclose members of its executive board on its own web site. In today’s age, transparency is an expectation of any entity that takes tax dollars, he said. “I think we need to do something,” Rechtin said. “I think we
Navigate your way to the right car for you.
The county and KACo
The Kentucky Association of Counties (KACo) primarily provides Campbell County Fiscal Court with insurance, legal service for legal cost claims, and workers’ compensation coverage, said Campbell County Fiscal Director Jim Seibert. The group also lobbies for state measures that can help the county and provides educational seminars for government officials. The county is spending $595,800 this year with KACo including $2,300 in dues, $343,600 for property and liability insurance, and $249,900 in workers’ compensation insurance. There was especially a time before KACo that insurance was difficult to obtain for county governments, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. KACo’s insurance policies with the county have been significantly lower than what the county has been able to find elsewhere in the market, Horine said. “We have benefited greatly from the ability to insure ourselves in this manner,” he said. need to contemplate what is the appropriate response and do something.” Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery agreed that the Fiscal Court should look into what the appropriate response is after Rechtin, D-Newport, brought up the issue at the Aug. 19 meeting in Newport. According to the HeraldLeader, KACo credit cards have been charged at least twice for an escort service, and that the county group’s top five officials spent almost $600,000 on travel, meals and other expenses in two years. The League of Cities was found to have spent about $300,000 on entertainment, travel and meals including a charge in 2006 at Las Vegas strip club. KLC’s Executive Director Sylvia Lovely, announced Aug. 26 that she
will step down, effective Jan. 1, 2010. The City of Fort Mitchell approved a resolution at the end of July asking the league’s spending be posted online for accountability’s sake and for the group’s board to follow any recommendations the state auditor makes. Commissioner Mark Hayden, R-Wilder, said at the Aug. 19 meeting that he thought the county should contemplate what the reaction should be so as to take a measured action. During the discussion, Commissioner Dave Otto, D-Fort Thomas, said nobody in the news media ever talks about people who did not abuse the system who are following the rules. County Administrator Robert Horine said the county needs to investigate what other counties are doing to respond to the situation.
St. Luke Lutheran Church in Cold Spring has created a memorial garden for the use of anyone in the community looking for a quiet spot to spend some time in reflection. The garden, behind the church, begins at an arched wrought-iron entry way over a brick walkway formed in a circle inside around rose bushes. Other bushes, flowers and trees help enclose the space that includes two sitting benches. “It’s kind of peaceful out here,” said Pastor Anne Pairan. The garden is simply a spot to pray and meditate, Pairan said. Lolita “Lou” Burke of Highland Heights was part of the group of congregation members who organized the creation of the garden. It’s a memorial garden for the community, and visitors need not be members of the church, Burke said. “Anyone can come and meditate and think about their loved ones,” she said. The idea for the garden started because some people who founded the church and worked to endow the building fund, including her husband Fred Burke, who died in 1997, never got to see the new church sanctuary, Burke said. The congregation moved into its new building at 4800 Alexandria Pike in May 2008 and sold its former home since the 1950s a couple miles to the north at 3917 Alexandria Pike, although the old building is still there. Raymond Palm, who died in 1997, and Fred Burke, both members of the church’s building committee before the move, are honored with engraved bricks in the garden’s walkway.

The annual pageantry that is the Alexandria Fair & Horse Show doesn’t happen without countless volunteers who roll up their sleeves to pitch in. In addition to the fair board members, there are about 50 associate fair board members who volunteer their time, said Doug Carmack of Alexandria, president of the fair board. Without the volunteers the fair couldn’t be as successful or big event as it is, Carmack said. Erin Lindsay of Fort Thomas became an associate board member volunteer two years ago, and was helping level off a dirt hillside and spread hay over fresh grass seed. “It’s just fun giving back to the community and supporting the cause,� Lindsay said.

Volunteer Chris Carmack of Alexandria spreads hay over fresh grass seed next to the new covered stage and seating area Wednesday, Aug. 26 as associate fair board member and volunteer Erin Lindsay, of Fort Thomas, walks by in the background. The 153rd Alexandria Fair & Horse Show is Sept. 2-7. Lindsay, a manager at the National City Bank in Alexandria, said she also gets to know people, and that the fair is just a lot of fun. It is Campbell County’s fair, she said. Lee Whitehead of Wilder has been a volunteer for the fair for about seven years as an associate board member. Whitehead has designed the annual fair book and taken lots of pictures for the fair in recent years. But that’s not all he does. “I cut a lot of grass and do a little bit of everything,� he said. “I do whatever needs to be done. I enjoy it.� Byron Farley of Alexandria is vice president of the fair board and has been coming to volunteer for 10 years. Having fun, fellowship, and getting to know people is what it’s all about, and it’s good for the community, Farley said.
Fair time The 153rd Alexandria Fair & Horse Show is Wednesday, Sept. 2 through Monday, Sept. 7. Visit the Web site www. alexandriafairandhorseshow.com. Farley spends lots of time on the phone since he’s in charge of organizing all the fair vendors, booth rentals and security. A good fair takes cooperation, he said. “It takes a lot of communication, and a lot of people willing to put their egos in their pockets and do what needs to be done,� Farley said. Friends and neighbors Wanda Lederer and Rosie Carmack, both of Alexandria, have volunteered at the fair for more than 20 years. They’re at the fairgrounds from 6 a.m. and often stay
until sundown, first cleaning and then grilling and cooking and serving at the Family Affair booth. The offerings include hamburgers, chicken breasts, fish, and chili by the gallon, said Carmack, who is the mother of fair board president Doug Carmack. Cooking over the grill, they often go home covered in grease, but it’s fun, Lederer said. “You have to like to work, I can guarantee that,� Lederer said laughing. Carmack said her entire family is involved in the fair, and that’s really what the fair is all about in the end. It’s meeting old friends you haven’t seen for a year, and spending time with family, she said. “We have a lot of fun, it’s a ‘Family Affair,’ it’s exactly what it says, and it’s a lot of fun,� Carmack said.

Job fair just for veterans By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
Newport Ragtime Band
America’s servants are getting a special chance to find a new job. Turfway Park will host the RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expo from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10. The event is a career fair for military veterans with more than 20 different organizations looking for former servicemen and women. “We are bringing companies to the area that want to hire veterans,” said RecruitMilitary spokesperson
PROVIDED.
The Kentucky Symphony’s Newport Ragtime Band was featured Saturday Night at Devou Park with guest singers, Tangernika Wyatt and Deondra Means. The KSO ends their Summer Series Sept. 5, with the performance, “What is Hip?,” a salute to the horn bands of the 1970s.
Karen Galvin. Based in Loveland, Ohio, RecruitMilitary offers online job listings and career fairs for veterans across the country. Although they have fairs all over, this one is a special treat, Galvin said. “We love doing it in our hometown,” she said. The events are usually successful because companies look to hire veterans because they’ve proven their skills, integrity and responsibility by serving their country, Galvin said. “They are thrilled to have any kind of event where they can meet a big
group of veterans,” she said. Even in the recession, there are employers actively seeking veterans, Galvin said. “It’s encouraging to have these events across the country,” she said. Along with bringing in companies looking to hire, the fair will have several educational institutions on hand because many veterans are making use of the Post-9/11 GI Bill to go to school to prepare for a new career, Galvin said.

Jail under budget despite state cuts By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
The Campbell County Detention Center came in more than $290,000 under budget during the past year despite losing almost $500,000 in state funding. Jailer Greg Buckler said the jail lost an estimated $484,623 from the early release of 190 inmates by the state to help compensate
for the state’s budget shortfall. With that lost revenue, the jail’s budget would have greatly exceeded expectations, Buckler said. The state pays the jail a daily rate for housing felons after they are sentenced in court. But a combination of cost-saving measures and increase in revenues from other jail programs brought the jail’s expenses for the
fiscal year ending July 1, 2009, in at $7.958 million instead of the $8.248 million budgeted for the jail for the same period. “We use generic food brands, and we shop around for better prices as far as the daily essentials for the inmates,” he said. Those daily essentials include soap, detergent, uniforms, and towels. Cost savings on maintaining the
building are also constantly being sought, Buckler said. Jail revenues came in at 101 percent of expectations at $4.454 million, he said. Revenue sources besides the state’s daily prisoner per diem include money for housing federal inmates, booking fees, inmate telephone usage, a $20 per day fee misdemeanor offenders are required to pay for their stay in the jail, and revenues from the county’s Restricted Custody Center.
Currently, the jail costs the county the difference between the revenues and expenditures to subsidize, which is about $3.5 million, said Jim Seibert, the county’s fiscal director. Jail spending comprises about 34 percent of the county’s general fund when dedicated revenue streams from the senior tax and mental health tax are taken out, he said. One thing the jail’s budget doesn’t pay for are things
like cable television for prisoners, Buckler said. The money comes out of the prisoner’s canteen fund, he said. Whenever an inmate buys a bag of chips, candy bar, bottle of shampoo, toothpaste or other items at a jail markup price, the money goes into the canteen fund, Buckler said. The fund also pays for General Education Degree programs for inmates in the jail, he said.
Inmates’ work benefits community One revenue-generating program Campbell County Jailer Greg Buckler oversees is the community service work done by work-release inmates from the county’s Restricted Custody Center completed in 2005. The center turned a profit for the county from fees paid by the state of $427,000 this past year. “It reduces their time that they have to serve, so it costs us less, and it helps their mental health,” said Jim Seibert, fiscal director of the county about the program. “Hopefully it encourages them to get back into the workforce, because they feel better about themselves having accomplished something each day.”
About 95 inmates are out working under supervision during the summer months, and in the winter months the number drops to about 40 inmates per day, Buckler said. The inmates assist 39 different agencies and groups, which are required to be a nonprofit organization or government entity. The inmates can’t legally do work for religious programs or private individuals, Buckler said. Last year, the inmates picked up 3,000 trash bags along roads in the county, taking care of about 93 miles of roads including large portions of Ky. 8 from Dayton to Mentor and portions of U.S. 27. “We are the largest
contributor for the state’s AdoptA-Highway program in the county,” he said. Inmates have helped remodel buildings like the Newport Elks hall in Cold Spring and the Bellevue Vets, he said. Since 2005 the community service has saved the community an estimated $5.681 million using the federal minimum wage for a general laborer for this area that is now $10.15 per hour, he said. “We do a lot of hydrant painting for a lot of fire departments, and that saves the fire departments from having to do it, and we’ve done some painting for some of the city buildings and police departments,” Buckler said.

Silver earns gold for strong leadership “She is someone who has taken initiative, someone who is extremely thoughtful and is Silver always a sensitive, caring person to not just me, but to everyone she meets,” said Andy Tracy of VonLehman Technology, who met Silver through her affiliation with Leadership Northern Kentucky. “I can also speak personally on a work level, where Dale asserts herself as a leader and commands the respect of her co-workers.” Silver is business development director at VonLehman & Company. In addition to serving as a nonprofit board member and volunteer, she is a member of the executive committee of the Chamber and chair of Leadership Northern Kentucky Alumni. Silver chaired Leadership Northern Kentucky Class of 2002. For the 30th anniversary of Leadership, six graduates of the program are being honored as Leaders of Distinction. Besides Silver, honorees are Ted Bushelman, Robert Elliston, Chris Goddard, Michael Hammons and Bob Hoffer. They’ll be recognized during an anniversary celebration Sept. 12. Induction is at the Chamber’s annual dinner Sept. 29. For information, call the Chamber at 578-8800.

Dale J. Silver is golden in leadership circles. Her long involvement with the multiple civic, philanthropic, business and service organizations has earned her recognition as one of Northern Kentucky’s Leaders of Distinction. “Dale is a quiet, thoughtful leader,” wrote Patricia Nagelkirk and Tracie D. Stacy, who jointly nominated Silver for the honor. “She is not one to seek the limelight or aspire to positions of power and influence. She only accepts such positions when the need is both great and unmet.” Such positions have been plentiful over the years, and Silver has stepped up time and time again. She’s opened her heart to the needs of children, animals, the homeless, and the abused. She has helped with the Fur Ball, a fund-raiser for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and chaired the Hoxworth Blood Center’s annual gala. She sorts and delivers toys for the Steinford Toy Foundation as well as auction items for the Family Nurturing Center’s annual art affair. She helped open the Cold Shelter, regularly cooks hot meals at the Parish Kitchen, and routinely pitches in on clean-up and recycling efforts for the East Price Hill Improvement Association. And she long has supported the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and Leadership Northern Kentucky.

Southgate School welcomes new principal; sees higher enrollment By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Blast off
Mrs. Kaufman’s fifth grade science class at St. Joseph in Cold Spring started the year asking a host of questions. Shown: Kaufman’s class experiment with Mentos and Diet Coke proves to be a success as Ms. Joseph and the students watch from a distance.
There are quite a few new faces at Southgate Elementary School this year. The school has a new principal, Kim Simpson, and enrollment is up 36 percent from last year. After the school’s principal resigned for personal reasons in July, the school went on a search for a replacement. After sorting through several applications, the school council chose Simpson. “I think they liked her ideas and enthusiasm for the school,” said Superintendent Jim Palm. “They felt she would be a good fit here.” Before coming to Southgate, Simpson taught elementary school students in Grant County for six years and at St. Joseph Academy in Walton for seven years. “Southgate is very similar to St. Joseph’s because it’s small and it’s a very close-knit community,” said Simpson, an Erlanger resident. Simpson said her main goal during her first year is to deal with the increasing enrollment. “The school is suddenly growing so rapidly, which is good, but
AMANDA JOERING ALLEY/STAFF
Southgate School’s new Principal Kim Simpson (left) poses for a picture in front of the school with Superintendent Jim Palm. it’s a big change, and I want to make sure we deal with it successfully,” Simpson said. Southgate ended last school year with 156 students and started Thursday, Aug. 20 with 230. Due to the unexpected growth, the school council allocated funds to hire two more educational assistants and one more kindergarten teacher.
“Right now we have 34 in the kindergarten class right now, so we really need to get them split up,” Simpson said. Simpson’s future goal for the school is to keep increasing test scores. “Southgate is doing well right now, but I really want to see the school reach the top five in the state,” Simpson said.

When art and photography teacher Brian Harmon wanted to teach his students about lines this year, he used a ball of string. Harmon, a teacher of art and photography for all grades at Campbell County High School for eight years, said one of his goals is to challenge many students traditional preconceived notions about art as being just about sculptures or painting. That’s why Harmon, instead of having his students draw lines, forced them to think about intersecting lines by having a class of Art I students criss-cross lines of purple and gold string across each other across the school’s outdoor courtyard to create a piece of Installation art that had to be viewed by walking around or through it. The artwork has since been taken down to avoid rain showers, but Harmon’s plans for piquing students interest in art remains.
Harmon has gone beyond basic art with his students, said Juli Hale, director of community relations for the district. Harmon’s display involved stepping through the art, Hale said. “You become part of the art,” she said. Harmon said many of his students hadn’t heard of Installation art, where the art has to be walked through and it’s above and below, and often has to be wiggled around or through. The students learned the thought process that has to go into creating a piece of art like that with the string project, he said. “You get the ‘anybody can do that,’ and ‘that’s not art’,” Harmon said. The students used about 3,500 feet of string, and the string was tied to tennis balls so that the string could be thrown from the school’s second story downward and then woven around more easily, he said. Harmon will temporarily depart the high school in the spring to

ideas to bring back to the class,” Harmon said. Harmon said he has a passion both for art, and being able to motivate and reach students. “Students who sometimes struggle in other classes sometimes excel in art,” he said.

Youth football kickin’ it at Crossroads By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Campbell County Youth Football League kicked off its first season on a new field Aug. 25 behind Crossroads Elementary School in Cold Spring where all of the youth teams can claim home-field advantage. The third- and fourth-grade students playing on the “Golden Knights” and the “Greyhounds” were the first teams to play on the field. The league is affiliated with Campbell County Schools. Brian Clos’ 9-year-old son, Tanner of Alexandria, scored the first touchdown in the history of the field, running it into the end zone. Having the new field is exciting for the children, Clos said. “They call it their own stadium,” he said. Previously, the league played its games on the field behind

Campbell County Middle School. The league, led by director Mike Bates, is planning improvements to the field including the construction of a concession stand and an elevated “crow’s nest” for announcing the games and light-
ing. To help pay for the improvements, the league is in the midst of its “Building Tomorrow’s Champions Today” campaign, featuring the sale of brick paving stones people can have engraved with
personal messages. The engraved brick paving stones, being sold in several different sizes, will be used for a walkway starting at the grassy entrance to the field, said Randy Coleman, a league parent volunteer who is also pastor at Christ Baptist Church in Cold Spring. Coleman, who was selling bricks next to the admission booth, said the first wave of brick sales has raised more than $3,000 since Aug. 1. In preparation for this year the field’s grass has been tended and painted for football, and a seating area was installed by the league. “It looks fantastic, they’ve really put a lot of work into it,” said Norm Lyle of Alexandria, coach of the third- and fourth-grade Purple “Panthers” team. In addition to the hard work put in by Bates, there are many people who donated their time and effort to make the field a reality,

The Campbell County Youth Football League, affiliated with Campbell County Schools, has a new Web site www.campbellcountyyouth football.com.The Web site features artist renditions of future plans for the field, and information and order forms for an engraved brick fundraising campaign. The bricks range in prices and sizes starting with a 4 x 8 inche engraved brick for a $45 donation.
Lyle said. Lyle said the league needed its own field because with the varsity, freshman, middle school and youth football teams playing on the same middle school football field, it took a beating. Lyle said his team couldn’t wait to take the field. “We actually came down here before it was opened up just to take a look,” he said. Lyle’s son Josh, 9, said he was glad to have the new field that the league can call home. “Very, very great,” Josh said. “I’m happy to have one.”

School funding promotes health Southgate Girls on Track, $1,300 • Grant’s Lick Elementary: Wii Fitness for Grant’s Lick Elementary, $1,260 “Health and school performance are closely linked,” said Dr. Steven R. Katkowsky, district director of health. “Factors such as physical inactivity, violence and hunger all impact a child’s ability to perform academically. Local school leaders realize the need to address these health issues, and the Health Department is fortunate to be able to provide them with some financial support to do so.” To apply, schools must send at least two representatives to the Health Department’s annual REACH for Excellence in School Health conference, held each winter. Then, the schools submit applications for funding. Applications are reviewed by the Health Department staff, and programs are funded based on their demonstration of need and plan to use evidence-based
To promote school health programs, the Northern Kentucky Health Department annually provides funding to local schools to implement evidence-based health promotion and education programs. A total of $19,639.15 has been awarded to public and private schools in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties for the 20092010 school year. The funding is provided through the REACH (Resources and Education to Achieve Coordinated school Health) coalition, which is coordinated by the Health Department. To receive funding, programs must focus on physical activity, nutrition, or social and emotional health. Schools receiving funning in Campbell County are: • Silver Grove School: REACH Incentive Funds Grant (Wii Gaming System), $1,219.90 • Southgate Schools: Southgate Girls on the Run, $1,300 • Southgate Schools:
health programs to improve the health and wellness of their students and/or staff. The REACH incentive fund process began in 2000. Since then, more than $164,000 of funding has been awarded to local schools. Many of the programs funded for the 2009-2010 school year promote physical activity for students. For example, “Girls on the Run,” funded at two schools, targets girls age 8 to 13 years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. “Steps to Respect,” funded at two schools, is a bullying prevention program that focuses on school policies and teaches students to recognize and report bullying behaviors. A complete list of schools, program names, type of program and amount funded can be found on the Health Department’s Web site, www.nkyhealth.org.

KCTCS fall enrollment up 11 percent KCTCS fall enrollment up 11 percent The Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) announced an estimated record enrollment of more than 100,000 students for the 2009 fall semester, an 11.2 percent increase from fall 2008. This represents the third largest annual enrollment increase since the statewide system of 16 college and 67 campuses was formed in 1998, and the largest since 2001. “This increase in enrollment clearly shows KCTCS is providing Kentucky what it needs right now; real opportunity for individuals to transform their skills and knowledge in order to meet the workforce demands of today’s economy,” said KCTCS President Michael B. McCall. While final numbers will not be known until late fall,

preliminary analysis indicates the majority of the enrollment increase is occurring in technical and distance learning programs, showing a significant portion is due to individuals returning to college to upgrade their skills. Enrollment in online programs is up 29 percent for students taking at least one online class, and 14 percent for students exclusively enrolled online. To meet this demand KCTCS has added nearly 1,000 sections of online classes. “The technical programs at our colleges are bursting at the seams,” McCall said. “We are adding evening classes and adjunct faculty in order to meet the needs of our students who are interested in areas such as advanced manufacturing and allied health.” During the 2008-09 aca-
demic year, KCTCS eliminated programs, reduced the number of courses and services offered to students and reduced the number of faculty positions in order to absorb a $13.5 million reduction in state appropriations. KCTCS began the 200910 year with an additional $4.4 million cut to its budget. “KCTCS has experienced an eight percent reduction in state appropriations since 2007 and this enrollment increase is straining our already limited resources,” said McCall. “Kentucky’s economic recovery depends upon KCTCS’ ability to fulfill our unique role in higher education of providing the citizens of this state with the higher education access and opportunity they need to be successful in today’s global economy.”
NEWS FROM NKU NKU UPASS
When Northern Kentucky University announced two years ago that it was collaborating with the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) to allow NKU faculty, staff and students to ride all regular TANK bus routes and university shuttles for free, university officials hoped the program would save students and employees some money and have a positive impact on the environment. Two years into the pro-
gram, the university is estimating that it has saved students, faculty and staff as much as $3.75 million and the Northern Kentucky community more than 1,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. And officials now hope that the program’s popularity will continue to increase, potentially reducing future expenditures on parking lots and garages on the Highland Heights campus. “Since July 2007 when we started the program, more than 380,000 rides have been
taken via the UPASS program,” said NKU Planning Coordinator Jane Goode. “While those individual rides vary widely, a broad estimate of that savings, based on 2007-09 federal mileage reimbursement rates, is over $3.75 million.” Goode noted that this doesn’t even take into account other savings, such as the elimination of the need to buy parking passes, or the positive impact the program has on traffic on and around the university’s campus.

Camels honor youth coach Woody Johnson
By James Weber jweber@nky.com
The Campbell County football team couldn’t quite win one for Woody. The Camels honored assistant coach Woody Johnson in a pregame ceremony Aug. 28 at their home field. Johnson, the father of Camel running back Austin Johnson, has been coaching in the Campbell County Red Devils youth football organization for 17 years. He’s been part of nine Pee Wee Super Bowl wins as a coach and one as a player. The 1978 CCHS graduate has made many of the welcome signs on streets in Alexandria in his day job as a stone and brick mason. Batting cancer in his salivary glands, Woody Johnson has been wearing a bandana around his neck, and many Camels fans had honorary bandanas of their own at the game. Dignitaries from all over came to give Woody awards before the game. He received proclamations from Alexandria mayor Dan McGinley, Campbell County Judge-Executive Steve Pendery and State Representative from District 68, Joe Fischer. Fischer presented a proclamation from Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, who also handed Woody the prestigious state honor of Kentucky Colonel. The game started with the Camels scoring on a 70-yard drive from the opening kickoff. Michael Kremer recorded key third-down conversion passes to Andrew Eshman and Joe Franzen, then found Matt Smith for a 10-yard gain on fourth-and-four from the 18. On the next play, Kremer connected with a wide-open TJ Jett for a 7-yard TD pass. Norwood came right back with a long kickoff return and scored shortly afterwards on a 13-yard run by Jeremy Scott.

Norwood led 10-7 on a field goal with 10 seconds left in the half. Austin Johnson then returned the kickoff to the Norwood 44, with the clock stopping with just four-tenths of a second. After some scrambling around, Kremer launched a pass to junior Corey Cox, who was standing about the 5-yard line. A Norwood defender mistimed his jump, and Cox caught the ball and marched untouched into the endzone as the Camels erupted and went to him en masse. With the PAT, Campbell led 14-10 at the half. In the half, six Camels had a reception for either a first down or a touchdown. That momentum didn’t carry over into the second half, however. Scott continued to be a thorn in the side of the Camel defense. He scored on TD runs of 16 and 22 yards in the third quarter to give Norwood a 24-14 lead. He was part of a 260-yard ground attack by Norwood. After the second TD, Johnson returned the kickoff 94 yards for a score to make it 24-20. However, Scott scored again in the fourth period to clinch it. The Camels host another Cincinnati team this Friday, playing Roger Bacon at 7:30 p.m.

Beechwood, rebuilding after graduating a deep senior class from last year, is 0-1 after losing 47-7 to Dixie Heights last week. The Bluebirds are 2-0 after beating Ryle 37-14. The Bluebirds had trouble with Ryle standout running back Travis Elliott early, as he posted a TD run and more than 100 rushing yards in the first half. But Highlands’ own standout tailback Austin Collinsworth controlled the action in the end. He had 124 rushing yards and four touchdowns, including jaunts of 52 and

Scott Eaton leads NKU athletics into new era By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Dr. James Votruba wanted to place the Northern Kentucky University athletic department in hands that he trusted. That is why Votruba, NKU’s president, ultimately promoted Dr. Scott Eaton from within to replace Jane Meier as athletic director after she retired from her 21-year tenure at NKU. Eaton, who has served at NKU for 11 years, had been senior associate AD for administration. “I never had to worry about Scott compromising his integrity over athletics,� Votruba said. “He understands this university and what we’re trying to build.� Eaton had been on the
job for a month when NKU gave a public reception for him Aug. 27. The new AD gave a speech to the NKU community at the Bank of Kentucky Center. NKU’s new multi-million dollar arena served as an example of how the school has grown since he arrived in 1998. With a few self-deprecating comments such as whether he could get the same 21-year contract Meier had, Eaton praised her, the staff and athletes. He praised his family and four children as well, giving them each positions on a basketball team to illustrate how they have supported him. “It’s an outstanding opportunity,� Eaton said. “The people here have

The sky is the limit.� Eaton said continuing the current success of the programs is a major goal. All 13 teams qualified for NCAA postseason play last season. “The department has grown leaps and bounds since 1998, but the family atmosphere is still a big part of what we do,� he said. Another priority is finances and fundraising.
Eaton said reclassifying NKU to Division I from D-II is still a long-term goal. Short-term, there are projects such as the new soccer field on campus, which is expected to be ready for play by late October. Jan. 16, NKU plans to honor Meier with a bobblehead night at a basketball game. NKU’s men’s basketball game with Bellarmine Jan. 23 will be televised nationally by CBS College Sports.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
‘Charity First’
The Bishop Brossart Wrestling team was happy to be the first organization to participate in the county’s new “Trash 4 Cash” program. Looking for ways to support the new high school sport, I liked the idea of an activity that would serve as a way to carry out the school’s motto, “Charity First,” while working toward our goal of a new wrestling mat. The team met at a central location where equipment was issued and all were briefed on the guidelines and safety tips. Armed with gloves, vests and grabbers, we carpooled a short distance to work in small groups along the roadway. In less time than originally thought, we finished the project excited to see an improvement in the area where many of us live.
CH@TROOM Last week’s question
Do you think allowing casino gambling would hurt charitable events and fundraisers such as Monte Carlo nights and church festivals? “I’m not a gambler and am definitely not in favor of casinos in our area, but I really don’t believe, even if they are approved, that casinos will have an impact on small venues that include gambling. I suspect that people believe in and support their local charities and will continue in that effort. There is a personal camaraderie and community spirit that these events provide over and above the gambling component. L.D. “I don’t think casino gambling will hurt church festivals and charitable events, as these are limited events and draw their own patrons who are loyal to the organization or cause, but I do think casino gambling will do widespread and serious harm to our society. Casino gambling does not benignly create wealth or profit; it takes money from those who are often least able to afford it. Gambling addiction is real, and on the rise – a problem that brings untold misery to families affected by it. I am firmly opposed to casinos and slot machines at racetracks and other venues.” J.B. “The casinos in Indiana are 2030 minutes away from the Cincinnati area. They are not affecting local charitable events and fundraisers here or there. “Those casinos bring in large tax revenues to Indiana and their local communities. Ohio could be reaping those same tax revenues and helping itself out of the tax shortfall it currently has. “The guess here is Cincinnati will have the tax drain of two stadiums while Kentucky joins Indiana with enhanced gaming capabilities. So then even MORE Ohioans can spend their money in adjoining states. Go figure!!!” T.D.T.
Most of the litter was the typical bottles, cans and wrappers, however, there were a few entertaining finds. For the person named Earl who’s been looking for his bowling ball, you can quit looking, we found it. Naturally, the group initially had reservations about collecting litter, but the day ended with a feeling that we were not only representatives of Bishop Brossart Wrestling, we also represented our community, Campbell County, as we worked together to make our area a better place to live.

Next question What do you think is the enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken (the new poster boy for allowing casinos) saying that casinos in Ohio will not restrict charitable gambling, including church festivals. So how do we answer this question without knowing what is true and what is false? “Let’s say that church festivals and Las Vegas nights can still have gambling if Issue 3 passes. If that’s the case, then no, they will not suffer at all. These events only occur a few times a year, and only a handful of people go to church festivals with the sole purpose of gambling. Those people will continue to stay local and play at the festivals. “But if Issue 3 does in fact make charitable gambling illegal, then yes, churches and other fundraising groups will suffer big time. An analysis by The Enquirer last month found that summer Roman Catholic parish festivals generate $12 million in revenue in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. That number will greatly reduce if they are unable to operate casino games. So there is no right or wrong answer to this question because we don’t know how to answer it. “I for one hope Issue 3 passes and churches can keep their gambling. But if they can’t I’m OK with that too. I only gamble a few times a year. But I would like the option of going whenever I want and not having to wait for summer festivals. And I would like to do this without having to spend my money in Indiana. The Catholic church is the richest most powerful business in the world. They will find a way to survive.” T.Z.
K.C.
“Most people attend church bingo, Monte Carlo nights and church festivals for social reasons. These events are local and gambling is secondary. People who want to gamble in casinos want to gamble, not socialize and they are willing to travel a distance to do it. I believe the effect will be small.” F.D.
“Nobody knows if casinos will hurt charitable events because nobody knows who to believe. Casino opponents say because the proposed constitutional amendment expressly allows bingo, lottery games and horse-race betting, any other form of gambling in Ohio would automatically be banned if Ohio voters approve Issue 3. On the other side you have former
“One only has to look at what gambling not even in Ohio has done to Church bingos, ask any of them they are really hurting. With only so much free money a family has for entertainment one night at a casino can use that all up. A year or so ago it seemed like every week you saw several ads at churches for Texas Hold ‘em, not so here lately.” L.S.
“Yes … Yes … Yes.”
devoted parents of 11-and-12year-old girls. Our girls are on a very competitive soccer team that travels for tournaments. We did this project to help pay for some of our team expenses. We had great weather and a beautiful walk along Pond Creek Road in rural Campbell County. Everyone enjoyed the experience from this project. Many of the girls commented on how people could just toss things out of the window of their car and expect others to clean up their mess. Others thought that litter fines should keep people from doing this. A lot of our route was residential and several of the residents thanked us for helping keep their road clean.

Children at risk for swine flu If there’s one thing that school children are good at, it’s spreading germs. They rub their eyes and noses. They stick things in their mouths. They cough or sneeze on a pencil and then hand it to their classmate to borrow. So it’s not a surprise that the new swine flu virus (H1N1) is able to spread in schools. On top of that, the virus appears to be affecting young people more, with the largest number of cases being reported in people age 5 to 24 years old-school children. With schools back in session in Northern Kentucky, the Health Department is working with local educators to provide information about the swine flu. We hope to educate students, parents and school staff on how to prevent the flu-both swine and seasonal-this fall. Children should learn about hand hygiene, a fancy term for keeping your hands clean. It’s important to scrub hands vigorously for 20 seconds with soap and warm water. Use a disposable paper towel to turn off the faucet and then another towel to dry your hands. School staff should make an extra effort to clean the school facilities. Disinfecting door knobs,
desks and other common surfaces can help stop the spread of the flu virus. The most important thing, however, is for children who are Steven R. ill to be kept away Katkowsky, from others. must M.D. School enforce their illCommunity ness policies. Recorder When a student guest who is already at shows columnist school signs of fever or other infection, he or she should be separated immediately from other students and sent home as soon as possible. One reaction to cases of swine flu in a school is to shut the entire school down, which happened in many areas when the swine flu emerged last spring. This is a decision that must be weighed carefully, balancing the public health concerns about disease transmission with the disruption that a school closure can cause. For example, parents who work would have to find alternate forms of child care if a school is closed. Child care centers would not be an option, as the reason for
A publication of

closing schools is to separate children-not displace the school-aged children and put them in a child care center instead. Kentucky law states that the decision to close a school is up to the superintendent. The Health Department will provide health advice to school officials on the specifics of each situation, but the decision will be theirs. Parents also play an important role. They should make plans for child care at home for a minimum of five school days if their child gets sick or their school is dismissed. Parents can also monitor their children for signs and symptoms of flu, and have supplies on hand to care for ill children. If members of the family are eligible for the swine flu vaccine and it is available, parents can make the effort to get their children vaccinated. Seasonal flu vaccination is also important. The swine flu is unfortunately here to stay. But, we have knowledge and tools to outsmart this flu virus. Let’s combine the efforts of parents, educators and public health to protect our school children this fall. Steven R. Katkowsky is the District Director of Health for the Northern Kentucky Health Department.

Newport Aquarium director of volunteers wins Governors Award For 10 years, Jenny Yee Greber has worked at the Newport Aquarium as the WAVE Foundation’s Director of Volunteers. Greber’s success and dedication recently led to her winning the 2008 Kentucky Governors Outstanding Director of Volunteers Award. “If you’ve visited the aquarium, you might not be aware of the integral part that the... volunteers play in the daily operations,” said Susan Bushey, president of the CAVA, an organization that serves volunteer directors, managers and coordinators. “Jenny is responsible for everything from intensive
volunteer training to the varied scheduling needs of the aquarium operation.” Greber said she has fun doing her job and likes matching volunteers’ skills with the different jobs. Greber said winning the award was great, partly because it helps people realize that volunteer directors aren’t just volunteers themselves and that it is a professional management position. “It is a wonderful opportunity to allow the community to be part of something that is really awesome,” Greber said. “It’s exciting to see that so many people want to give back to the community and learn about the aquarium.”

Patrons have slew of options for watching the fireworks By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com When people in Campbell County think of Labor Day, one thought stands out above the rest for many of them, the WEBN/Cincinnati Bell Labor Day Fireworks.

How do we deal with the unfairness of life? Sooner or later we know that life is not fair. It never was. It never will be. Though that fact infuriates us at times, we are powerless to change it. Rather, it presents us with the challenge of what to do with such a life or with the cynical attitude it often engenders. Even though we may be religious-minded people, God does not step in to make our lives fair. Earth is not heaven. Earth is not where all unfairness is righted. As analyst Robert A. Johnson puts it, “The world is not supposed to work. All it does effectively is produce consciousness.” It is to wake us up before we die. It is to create situations that can potentially form us by how we choose and how our egos deal with the inequities that surround us.
Spiritually we are called upon to discover that life is a mystery and a paradox. We’re forged by it, formed by it, made whole by it. Unfairness is such a part of the fabric of life that the most noble spiritual leaders who have lived among us have all been treated unfairly. In fact, it contributed to their nobility. Are we to expect to be treated better than they? Do they not try to teach us how to transcend unfairness? One of the important questions we must ask ourselves at times – and which serves as an indicator of whether we’re becoming cynical through our experience of unfairness, or more whole – is, “How do I behave in the face of things I cannot change? In the face of things that are obviously unfair?”
One of the best real-life examples in someone else’s life was the example George Will wrote of years ago in Newsweek. It was about his son Jon, the oldest of four children. Jon had just turned 21 years old and his father characterized him as a happy and active young man. Yet a crucial fact was that Jon has Down syndrome. George wrote, “… this is a chromosomal defect involving degrees of mental retardation and physical abnormalities.” Then we wrote of his son’s condition words we might all remember, “Jon lost, at the instant he was conceived, one of life’s lotteries, but he was also lucky. “His physical abnormalities do not impede his vitality and his retardation is not so severe that it inter-
feres with life’s essential joys – receiving love, returning it, and reading baseball box scores. Jon has seen a brother two years younger surpass him in size, get a driver’s license, and leave for college, and although Jon would be forgiven for shaking his fist at the universe, he has been equable. I believe his serenity is grounded in his sense that he is a complete Jon and that is that.” George Will and his family evidently love son Jon very much. He approaches head-on the unfairness of life wrought in their own family, and for Jon, accepting the fact that, through no fault of his own, “Jon lost one of life’s lotteries.” It’s most probable that you and I have already lost some of life’s various lotteries, and may lose some more. Does that need to be
an utter catastrophe? In fact, it is not winning all Father Lou the lotteries that Guntzelman most tests our mettle. Perspectives There’s a short prayer we might offer for ourselves when life’s unfairness gets in our face: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.
Be on the lookout for moisture conditions in your house When you own a home, it’s always a good idea to get regular termite inspections to prevent possible infestation. But a Tristate couple who got termite treatment 10 years ago, and regular inspections since then, says they were shocked to find termites had returned with a vengeance. Debbie Harpring and her husband, Todd, had bought a termite inspection and protection plan and recently started remodeling their bedroom. “The contractor said, ‘What is that dip in your floor?’ We had to take everything out of the room. Todd said, ‘I don’t know, never noticed it – that’s where the bed has always been.’ They said well, we’ve got termites,” Debbie said.
The termites were in the same spot back in 1999. At the time of that last Howard Ain treatment t h e Hey Howard! Harprings h a d bought inspection and damage repair plans, so they called the termite treatment company. “The inspector came out and informed us right away it was not their problem, it was our problem because there’s too much moisture,” Debbie said. The moisture is in the crawlspace underneath their house and it’s that moisture that attracts termites. Yet, the contract with the
treatment company specifically excludes coverage if there’s moisture. “I didn’t know if we had moisture before or after. I had no idea because nobody ever said anything to us about moisture being in the crawlspace,” Debbie said. The termite treatment company had conducted inspections three times a year – but they were only checking a termite baiting system located in areas around the house. No one ever checked under the home, in the crawlspace where the termites had been found in the past. There is an access panel to the crawlspace right out back so no one has to be home for the inspectors to check. Debbie Harpring said she was quite surprised to learn
Everyone should be aware of, and look out for, any moisture conditions in and around their house. termites are back and that they had done considerable damage to her home. This occurred even though she was supposed to get regular inspections. “I think that’s what the whole contract is about, they’re supposed to inspect my home to make sure there were no termites – and that

was never done,” she said. So I contacted the termite extermination company, which sent out an independent inspector. He found inactive termite mud tubes and signs of other destructive insects still in the crawlspace. He concluded moisture, as well as termites, caused more than $9,300 damage to the house. The termite treatment company told me it values its long relationship with the Harpring family and so has agreed to pay for the full amount of repairs – both from the termites and moisture – even though it is

Campbell County trio to perform at Old West Festival Violet Rae Downey and Vickie Riffe Ellis of Fort Thomas, and Roberta Schultz of Wilder are three women who live to sing together. Known to audiences throughout the region as Raison D’Etre, they will be performing at the Old West Festival east of Cincinnati Sept. 12 and 27, and Oct. 10. A background in musical theater drives Downey’s dramatic sense of song and fuels her incredible range as her percussive guitar pounds out the heart beat for the trio. Ellis combines classical piano training, a passion for folk instruments (banjo and banjuke) and her background in radio and theater to add spice and nuance to arrangements and homey chat to performances. Schultz’s finger-picking guitar styles, soulful song writing and Native drums (including a few that she made) craft Raison D’Etre’s Americana feel. Traditional folk songs, a capella swing tunes, and Shaker hymns round out their versatile repertoire, all delivered in their pure Kentucky blend. From 2000-2006, Raison D’Etre hosted the Coffee Cup Concert Series at the Behringer-Crawford Museum. Outside of Kentucky, they appear at arts venues and festivals from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. They are MOVA Song Writing Festival finalists for 2007 for “Legacy” and “This Kind of Rain.” Downey went on to win the Children’s/Humor category with “Legacy” while Schultz took third place honors in Folk/Bluegrass with “This Kind of Rain.” “Be True” by Schultz won an Honor Award from the Great American Song Contest in 2006 and appears on SouthernArtistry. org’s first CD compilation which was distributed at Performing Arts Exchange in Baltimore, 2006.

Community leadership award During the past 30 years Barbara Howard has become highly recognized in the region as the leader of Redwood. Her commitment to improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities has become legendary, setting Redwood as a benchmark for other organizations. Today, Redwood serves more than 700 individuals through center, home and outreach services. Recently, there was high demand for Redwood’s programs, which resulted in lengthy waiting lists. To address the needs and demands of Northern Kentucky families, Barbara organized and launched the Promise & Potential Campaign, a capital project to expand and renovate Redwood in order to meet the needs of our growing community. During the course of three years, Barbara’s diligent work with businesses and individuals raised more than $6,000,000 for this expansion. Outstanding volunteer During the last eight years, Dorothy Goettsch has committed herself to Redwood and the Northern Kentucky community. Dorothy first became involved with Redwood as a parent. Her son, Chris, attended Redwood through-
out his school years and as a young adult up until his untimely death in 2003. She served as an Overseer for a total of six years simultaneously volunteering for the Adult Committee, which she also chaired, and the Volunteer Committee. For the past 13 years she has volunteered in Redwood’s Adult Independence programs. Currently, she works directly with the adult clients in Redwood’s Life Skills Computer program.

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
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.
