Blue Marble celebrates 30 years of business By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

For 30 years, The Blue Marble Children’s Bookstore has been a staple in Fort Thomas. In that time the store, which started out on North Fort Thomas Avenue in a building the size of one of the current store’s rooms, has been part of the lives of countless people not only in the city, but around the country. “At the time there was only a handful of children’s-only bookstores, but Tina was so passionate about having one,” said Peter Moore, who has taken over the daily operations of the store since his wife, Tina Moore, retired due to medical problems after running it for years. “She was always very active in getting children connected with books and giving them a chance to meet authors.” During the past 30 years, the Moores have hosted many events and author visits and dedicated a lot of time supporting local teachers and literature programs and organizations, Peter said. “When the store first opened, Tina knew everything and everybody,” he said. “Now, we have a ded-

around the country, Peter said. Fort Thomas Mayor Mary Brown said the store, its owners and its staff have meant a lot to the city. “The Blue Marble has been an important part of each and every child in Fort Thomas,” Brown said.

“Their enthusiasm for reading has inspired two generations to explore the joy and love found in sitting quietly with a good book.” Brown said the city thanks the Blue Marble for the role they have played in the lives of people in Fort

Thomas and hopes they continue their work for many more years. “We’re going to continue as long as we have staff and customer support,” said Peter Moore. “We’ll do what we can to continue to get children and books together.”

River trail organizers vie for support By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Planners of a proposed regional network of biking and hiking trails along both the Ohio and Licking riverfront areas see the $170 million price tag as something that can be funded in smaller pieces. Southbank Partners, the private planning group for Northern Kentucky’s riverfront cities, has joined its Riverfront Commons plans with Vision 2015’s Licking River Greenway and Trail proposal. Riverfront Commons would connect existing and planned parks, entertainment destinations and housing developments as the trail hugs the riverfront west from Dayton through Fort Thomas, Bellevue, Newport, Covington, Ludlow and eventually reach Boone County’s park system. The trail would connect to Newport’s planned Festival Park, and a bridge crossing the Licking River. It would also connect some of Northern Kentucky’s development achievements including the Ascent tower in Covington and Newport on the Levee with developments like the planned 800housing unit Manhattan Harbour riverfront development in Dayton. The Licking River plans include multi-purpose trails that go up and down riverfront property in New-

Request for state

Northern Kentucky leaders plan to lobby for $7.4 million in state and possibly federal funding during the next two years for a riverfront trails and park system along the Ohio and Licking rivers. If obtained, the money will fund two high-priority, erosion-control projects, and to start an initial section of the Licking River trail, Bill Scheyer, president of Southbank Partners. The first erosion-control project would be in the area of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers and the section of riverfront down to the Roebling Suspension Bridge, Scheyer said. The second erosion-control project is around Bellevue’s Beach Park, he said. “It creates a foundation so there will be something to build on later,” Scheyer said. port, Wilder and Covington. “We’ll have a very regional riverfront destination,” Bill Scheyer, president of Southbank Partners. The Northern Kentucky Consensus Committee, a group of leaders from eight counties, has lent its support to make lobbying for $7.4 million in state and possibly federal funding for a first phase of the trails project one of the group’s top eight priorities for the next two years. “This was simply a phase one amount that we gave them,” Scheyer said. Additionally, Roger L. Peterman, chairperson of Southbank Partner’s Riverfront Commons Committee, requested political and funding support for the trails during a presentation to the Campbell County Fiscal Court June 3. “We’re trying to create the most exciting riverfront experi-

ence in the Midwest,” Peterson said. Southbank Partners is asking county and city governments for pledges of extra funding to pay for lobbying for funding at the state and federal level. Southbank has already raised $225,000 of a $335,000 goal for the lobbying money including $25,000 donated by the Northern Kentucky Port Authority, and $20,000 by the Campbell County Economic Progress Authority. The Newport Aquarium and Wayne Carlisle have also donated money. Southbank’s member cites have also kicked in additional funding that can only be used for Riverfront Commons. Commissioners Dave Otto, DFort Thomas, and Mark Hayden, R-Wilder, both say Riverfront Commons is worthy of support. “I love to cycle, and it’s so hard to find a place to cycle in Northern

Kentucky to cycle safely long distances,” Hayden said after the June 3 presentation. Hayden said the top challenge is paying for the proposed project. Commissioner Ken Rechtin, DNewport said he wanted to know where the revenue would come from to fund the trail and park system after it was built, pointing out that Boone County voters turned down a parks tax in 2008. The broad vision for the project is needed to both attract new businesses, and just as importantly retain existing businesses, said Laura Long, President of the Campbell County Economic Progress Authority, during her portion of the June 3 presentation. Chicago’s development of its Millennium Park along Lake Michigan is a good example of how parks and public realms bring great value to the public sector dollar, Long said. “Conservation and green infrastructure is a way to attract businesses and residents by guaranteeing both quality of life and economic health,” she said. Dayton Mayor Ken Rankle is supportive of the idea of the trails, saying they would attract tourist dollars to the region and connect the river cities. “What better bike trail, walking trail and hiking trail can you have in the region,” Rankle said.

City leaders have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at ItalianFest By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Bellevue Mayor Jack Meyer, a member of the reigning 2008 ItalianFest Bocce Ball Tournament, reacts to losing in the second round to the Alexandria team in 2009 tournament at Pompilio's Restaurant in Newport June 10.

Mayors and officials from seven Campbell County and Kenton County had a ball Italian-style at Pompilioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bocce Ball courts in Newport Wednesday, June 10. The tournament, in its third year, was the first official event of Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18th annual ItalianFest on Riverboat Row June 11-14. To play the game, a white ball is thrown into the middle of a sand-clay court. Players then pitch larger stone-like balls, scoring points by being closest to the white ball, including by knocking away the other teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bocce balls from the white ball.

Alexandria Mayor Dan McGinley, left, and Dayton City Administrator Dennis Redmond reach out to shake hands after Dayton defeated Alexandria's team in the championship game of the third annual Newport ItalianFest Bocce Ball Tournament at Pompilio's Restaurant in Newport Wednesday, June 10. Alexandriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of Mayor Dan McGinley and Treasurer Roger Steffen by a score of 12-2 to win the third annual Bocce Ball Tournament. Alexandriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team defeated Bellevueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, the reigning champion from the 2008 tournament, to

advance to the championship game. Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team fell to Dayton in the second round. Other participating cities included Wilder, Covington and Ludlow. All the players on the Alexandria and Dayton

teams said it was the first time they had ever played Bocce Ball. The previous years of the tournament had only included river cities in Kenton and Campbell County. But this year suburban cities were invited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was beginnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luck,â&#x20AC;? said Dayton Mayor Ken Rankle of the victory over Alexandria to win the tournament. Other city leaders taunted Dayton by asking rhetorically if they secretly practiced playing Bocce Ball on the Ohio River beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We skunked emâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Rankle said of the 12-2 score against Alexandria. But everyone from the two cities shook hands at the end of the game with broad smiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wheels fell off, we were doing good,â&#x20AC;? McGinley said.

Fort Thomas offers summer learning, fun By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com The school year ending doesn’t mean the learning has to in Fort Thomas. As has become a tradition in the Fort Thomas Independent Schools, the district is once again offering a wide array of classes in its 2009 Summer Enrichment Program. “Our goal is to offer students an opportunity to expand their knowledge over the summer,” said Rita Byrd, the district’s assistant superintendent for student services. “These structured activities and classes offer learning that is also fun.” From theater and chess to guitar lessons and reading fun, the enrichment program has a little bit of everything for a variety of interests. Byrd said district teachers partner with teachers from St. Thomas, St. Catherine of Siena and various community members to teach the classes. Mary Kinsella, a first-grade teacher at Moyer Elementary School, said it is important to encourage children to continue reading, writing and problem solving throughout the summer. “The main reason I think having summer enrichment is important is because when my children were younger, I was always trying to think of ways to keep them busy academically over the summer,” said Kinsella, who has been teaching summer classes for seven years. “This program is a way to encourage them to come to school and stay involved.” While the courses are offered first to children who live in Fort Thomas, anyone from the area can participate if there is enough room.

Southgate celebrates meeting state, federal goals

Southgate Independent School may be small, but they are celebrating big accomplishments. At a Board of Education meeting Thursday, June 11 the school celebrated being recognized by the Kentucky Department of Education as an Exemplary Growth District. “Our recent assessment scores placed us 14 out of 174 school district for the last biennium,” said Superintendent Jim Palm. “For us, that’s a big event.” Palm said the past two years, the school met not only its state, but also its federal test score goals set by the No Child Left Behind Act. In honor of this designation, the board recognized all the school’s employees who worked during the past two years. “Our employees are great at taking the little resources we have and doing big things with them,” Palm said. Palm said the school’s small size is one of the reasons the students have excelled. “We have a very small school, so that means students get a lot of individual attention they may not get in other districts,” Palm said.

Stine presented with ‘You’re the Cure Legislator of the Year’ award The American Heart Association has named Senate President Pro Tempore Katie Stine of Southgate and Representative Addia Wuchner of Burlington its 2009 “You’re the Cure Legislators of the Year.” Sen. Stine and Rep. Wuchner are being recognized for their policy work in fighting childhood obesity.

Over the past several years, both have sponsored legislation, including, most recently, SB 6 and HB 11 in the 2009 regular session, aimed at stemming the growth of childhood obesity in the state. They have worked to raise awareness in the Kentucky General Assembly of the need to increase physical

activity in schools. This is key issue; being overweight or obese is a risk factor for heart disease, and overweight children tend to grow up to be overweight adults. Some have suggested that we may now be raising the first generation of American children who will live shorter lives than their

parents. “Senator Stine and Representative Wuchner are recognized leaders and strong advocates for the prevention of childhood obesity. It is an honor to work with both of them,” said

Tonya Chang, Kentucky director of advocacy for the American Heart Association. The “You’re the Cure” network is an action arm of the American Heart Association’s advocacy team. Association staff and volunteers

work together to educate lawmakers and other officials about heart disease and stroke, the threat they pose to the public, and how meaningful legislation can help protect people’s cardiovascular health.

ments span from his professional career to the many organizations he serves to his family and friends,” said Gary Moore, Judge/Executive of Boone County. Elliston is president and CEO of Turfway Park. Nominator Peggy Casey noted that under Elliston’s leadership, Turfway became the first racetrack in North America to install a synthetic surface that reduces injuries and lost racing days. Even before installing the Polytrack in 2005, however, Elliston had earned the respect of the industry: The Kentucky Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association named him

Man of the Year in 2002. Today, Elliston is executive chair of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association Board of Directors. “I have no doubt that Bob’s recognition by so many as a leader has much to do with his ability to see the future with such clarity and the ability to make the future happen,” said John Cain, president of Wiseway Supply. Before joining Turfway in 1999, Elliston was vice president of commercial lending for U.S. Bank. He’s also served as vice president of economic and community development for the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce in Frankfort.

Other positions include a seat on the board of the TriCounty Economic Development Corporation, the Northern Kentucky University Foundation, and the Gateway Community College Foundation. He served as chairman of both Sanitation District No. 1 and of the Northern Kentucky Chamber. “As Chair of the Chamber Board, Bob was strategic in every decision and available to tackle every challenge and opportunity,” said Gary Toebben, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of commerce and former president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber.

Elliston and his fellow Leaders of Distinction will be recognized during the Leadership Elliston Northern Kentucky 30th Anniversary Celebration Sept. 12. They will be inducted at the Chamber’s annual dinner Sept. 29. Other honorees are Ted Bushelman, Chris Goddard, Michael Hammons, Bob Hoffer and Dale Silver. Pat Hunt Hoffmann is executive counsel at Pinger PR at Powers Agency and a volunteer with the Northern Kentucky Chamber.

Thoroughbreds’ run ends against CovCath By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com

Fueled by the 9-4 loss to Newport Central Catholic in the 2008 regional final, Covington Catholic run-ruled the Thoroughbreds 12-2 in six innings in the semifinals of the 2009 9th Region tournament, May 25, at Champion Window Field in Florence. “The kids have nothing to be ashamed of, we lost to a good team in Covington Catholic,” NewCath head coach Jeff Schulkens said. “We had a good year, but at the same time it is a little disappointing because our goal every year is to win the

regional title.” Winning the regional hasn’t always been a realistic goal for the Thoroughbreds, but it became a reality last season when the team beat the Colonels for their first regional title since 1999. The ‘08 squad finished with a 19-17 overall record and featured eight seniors. In ‘07, NewCath finished 12-17-1. This past spring, the program continued its improvement with a 20-9 finish. Improving on that mark in 2010 could be a challenge due to the graduation of seven seniors. Among that group of seniors are starters Mark Kelly, Nate Rawe, Jeramie Connor and

JIM OSBORN/CONTRIBUTOR

Newport Catholic junior Shaun Meyer throws over Bellevue’s Tony Piper to complete a double play in a game, May 18, 2009. Meyer will be one of NewCath’s top returning starters next season. This past season, Meyer pitched, played shortstop and second base. Matthew Giesler. Connor, who will be playing baseball next year at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, Fla., was NewCath’s top pitcher the last two seasons posting a 14-3 overall record. This season, Connor had a 2.58 earned run average, 5-1 record and 33 strikeouts in 38 innings pitched. He also led the team with a .465 batting average. Schulkens will be looking to

junior Shaun Meyer and sophomore Jake Cain to replace Connor. “I definitely expect one of them to step up as our season progresses next year and be our number one starter,” Schulkens said. “They both have the ability to do it…we’ll see who emerges next year, either way it is a great onetwo combination.” This season, Meyer posted a 41 record and had a .385 batting average, while Cain led the team

in strikeouts with 34 (in only 20.3 innings), had a 2.75 earned run average and hit .325. NewCath will also return its starting catcher, sophomore Chris Kelly. “Those three will be the leaders of the team next year,” Schulkens said. “Two of them are also pitchers and Kelly is our catcher, so I have two of my pitchers back and I have my catcher so that is a good place to start.”

N. Kentucky swim league to start 46th season By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Mark Koors expects some close competition in the Northern Kentucky Swim League this season. The NKSL league president said conditions are prime for more parity in the 10-team youth league, which begins its 46th season June 16. More than 1,000 kids will par-

ticipate in the league this season. Participants range from some of the area’s top high school swimmers to youngsters just starting out. Beechwood Swim Club in Fort Mitchell won the team championship at last year’s finals by a wide margin. Five Seasons, Brookwood and Florence finished next in a close battle for second. Koors said Beechwood has

dominated in recent years but other clubs are catching up. The 10 clubs in the league are Beechwood (Fort Mitchell), Bluegrass (Fort Wright), Brookwood (Edgewood), Cherry Hill (Erlanger), Five Seasons (Crestview Hills), Florence, Fort Thomas, Ludlow Bromley, Oakbrook (Florence), and Taylor Mill. The league is split into two

New girls basketball coach begins to lead Mustangs By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Josh Grooms said trying to become Bishop Brossart’s new head girls’ basketball coach was an easy decision. “When I was growing up in Bellevue, I saw that they were a good program,” he said. “To be part of a school that has a good reputation and is heavily supported by the community, it looked like a great fit.” The Batavia, Ohio, high school graduate and Walton resident takes over for Camey Eberhard, who resigned after a 60-49 record in four seasons. Grooms, 28, started getting acquainted with his new team in

open gyms June 10 and will lead the Mustangs in the Eastern Kentucky University team camp starting June 15. He also went right to work interviewing assistant coaches. The Mustangs had no seniors last year and went 7-17. Jenna Bezold and Anna Dischar will be incoming 12th-graders next season. Most of the squad will be juniors. “It’s always good to have players coming back with varsity experience,” Grooms said. “I think we can make an immediate impact on them. To take a program and turn it around takes a couple of years, but I don’t think this program is broken. It just had an off year. It’s not like I’m going in and

starting from scratch.” Grooms, a graduate of Northern Kentucky University, is working on his graduate degree in special education at NKU. He has several years of coaching experience at Grant County High School and has also been a youth minister. He prefers an uptempo style of play. “I like to get out and run as fast as I can,” he said. “Basketball has changed in the past 20 to 30 years. It’s hard to run a halfcourt set now. At the state tournament, it’s all run and cut and set screens. I follow the philosophy I had in college – everyone moves at the same time. Don’t make yourself an easily guardable player.”

Connor LaRosa’s MVP for June 9 Newport Central Catholic 2009 graduate Jeramie Connor is the LaRosa’s MVP of the Week for June 9. The Newport resident will attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, Fla., and hopes to become a Navy pilot. Connor is a super two-sport star (baseball and basketball). In baseball, as a pitcher (two no-hitters this season) he went 8-2 last year with a 3.67 ERA (55 Ks in 55 innings). He also batted .319 with 15 RBIs.

He earned numerous honors, including MVP of Ninth Region tournament and first team all-district. He was also named Ninth Region Division II Pitcher of the Year. In basketball, Connor averaged 11 ppg. as a senior and was named to the district and regional all-tournament teams. A great student (National Honor Society, first team all-state for academics), Connor will play baseball next season at EmbryRiddle.

Very active in community service, Connor plays for the Kentucky Colonels during the summer. His favorite athlete is David Wright, favorite entertainer is Chris Tucker, favorite book is Faith of My Fathers and most-like to meet is David Wright. “Jeramie is an outstanding defensive player and pitcher on the defending regional championship team. He is an excellent leader both on the field and in the classroom. Jeramie is the definition of an ideal student-athlete,” said baseball coach Jeff Schulkens.

divisions for the regular season. Division A is Beechwood, Five Seasons, Florence, Brookwood and Bluegrass. Division B is Fort Thomas, Ludlow-Bromley, Taylor Mill, Cherry Hill and Oakbrook. Koors said Fort Thomas is the favorite in Division B but the others are strong in different areas. The league has diving meets on

Tuesdays and swimming meets on Thursdays, and will contest its championships July 28-31. Koors said the league has always emphasized fun and fitness, catering to the beginning swimmers. Every swimmer on a team gets to compete in a meet on nights they are in attendance. The league is also planning an alumni reunion for Aug. 14.

Silverlake to host swimmers at meet By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Silverlake Recreation Center in Erlanger will be busy as the Northern Kentucky Clippers club swimming team hosts the annual David Webb Invitational June 20-22. The meet will have more than 600 swimmers, including many of the top names in the region. The Clippers train many of the top high school swimmers in Northern Kentucky. Clippers head coach Jason Roberts said most of those top swimmers will be at the meet, which is one of the final opportunities to meet qualifying standards for various championship meets later this summer. “It’s a good fine-tuning meet,” Roberts said. “We have some great talent coming in from Kentucky and Ohio. It should be a fast and exciting meet.” Teams entered include Cincinnati Aquatic Club, Coffman Family Y, Colonel Aquatics, Kettering City Swim Team, Kingfish Aquatics, Mason, Oak Hills, Ohio State Swimming, Springfield Y, Sycamore Flying Fish, and University of Rio Grande. Sessions are 1 and 5:30 p.m. Friday, 8:10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Saturday, and 8:10 a.m., 1:10 p.m. and 6:25 p.m. Sunday. Parking will not be available at Silverlake. A shuttle bus will pick up swimmers and patrons at Dixie Heights High School.

The meet is named after David Webb, the founder of the Clippers and former aquatics director at Scott. The Clippers are capping off a memorable school year with several KHSAA state championships and nine graduating seniors signing to continue their careers in college. The signees are Michael Walsh of Covington Catholic (undecided), Jackie Sherrard of Scott (Louisville), Audrey Lawson of Notre Dame (LSU), Zane Rowland of CovCath (WKU), Rachel Roberts of Notre Dame (Air Force), Ryan Adams of Ryle (Union), Shannon Wofford of Highlands (Centre), Nick Kunkel of CovCath (LSU), and Austin Brown of Ryle (Transylvania) The Clippers hosted a meet May 30-31.

I feel compelled to write in relation to the visual arts program and the importance it has in the curriculum of our Fort Thomas schools. Due to the time in the school year, I feel urgency to notify parents of elementary public school children in Fort Thomas and any concerned citizens as well, of the possibility that an opening for an elementary art position may not be filled due to the lack of funds to do so. Sad to say this could become a reality before the parents of the children involved will be informed and then the decision that is made will be irreversible. Obviously the state of the

economy is taking its toll, as well as the damage over the years from the unchallenged SEEK program implemented by the state due to a lawsuit forcing supposedly a more equitable distribution of school funds. This has been a hard price to pay. There have been other sacrifices we have been forced to make over the years because of this, and they are painful as well. As it stands now each of our elementary schools employ their own music and physical education teacher. However over the years two elementary visual arts teachers have been shared by the three schools. I am extremely concerned now that it may be reduced to one

visual arts teacher for the three schools. This would definitely be a reversal for the program and the amount of time our elementary students will be educated in the visual arts. My concern stems from two areas, I have grandchildren currently in the school system and they love art and also I was the elementary art teacher at Woodfill and Moyer schools from 1989 until my retirement in 2003. If I am speaking too soon and this possibility does not become a reality, I will be the first one to cheer. But if I am silent and it becomes a reality, then I feel my years an art teacher have lost

My ultimate dream is that I may live to see the equity in the special areas with each elementary school in this district having the privilege of having their own art, music and physical education teacher. They are truly special areas and a vital part of the education of any

child. This would be a sign of the excellence in education that establishes our school’s pride and superior reputation. I feel confident that many especially in our community feel as strongly as I do. Ruthanne Conley Fort Thomas

Happy Father’s Day

Lillian Davis, 8, of Fort Thomas wishes her “No. 1 Dad” Doug Davis a Happy Father’s Day. “... He works his very best to try to make me happy and he succeeds,” Lillian said. “I would like to restore the favor. He always puts me first no matter what the task is. Some examples of what he does for me is when my grandfather and two uncles invited my father to go watch the Reds hitting practice in Florida, he declined because he wanted to spend it with me. He always coaches my ball teams every year. ... Raising a girl has its challenges that might be a little more work than a boy needs, especially being raised by a dad. Girls can have a lot of drama. My father handles girl drama better than anybody.”

Last week’s question

Which are you more likely to attend this summer, a Cincinnati Reds game or a Florence Freedom minor league game? Why? “I’ve already been to a Reds game but I’ll probably go to a Freedom game also. Each offers something different. I’m excited that the Reds are winning and going to the games are great but the Freedom offers a closer view of the game, cheaper tickets and affordable food. We’re lucky to have so many options.” J.H. “Florence Freedom. It’s cheaper, less crowded and more enjoyable watching guys who love the game play.” K.P. “Reds.”

I am looking forward to going to the five games my family and I already have purchased tickets for.” L.M.R. “Florence Freedom, without a doubt. Close to home, free parking, cheap tickets, great baseball entertainment, family fun, great deals/sponsors. What a fantastic addition to Northern Kentucky.” T.F. “I prefer the Florence Freedom. Parking is easier and much cheaper, seats are closer to the action, cost of seat is reasonable, players play because they enjoy the game ... and it’s all fun.” C.J.W.

As we get ready to celebrate the Fourth of July and the summer fireworks season, information concerning the legality of discharging various types of fireworks may be helpful. Kentucky law allows the retail sale and use of “common fireworks” such as sparklers, fountains, illuminating torches, trick noise makers, snakes, smoke bombs, snappers, loud whistles, wheels and ground spinners, all of which are designed primarily to produce limited visual and audible effects. These fireworks may only be sold to persons 16 years of age and older. Except for the sale and use of the above noted common fireworks and except for public supervised displays of fireworks, Kentucky law prohibits selling, possessing, using or exploding all other types of fireworks. Fireworks, other than common fireworks, are known by law as “special fireworks” which include such things as bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial devices, firecrackers, helicopter aerial spinners, mine shells, and chasers. These special fireworks which cannot be sold at retail include but are not limited to firecrackers containing more than 2 grams of explosive composition, aerial shells containing more than 40 grams of pyrotechnic composition and other display pieces which

COUNTY RECORDER

fireworks is ancillary to the primary course of business do not need a license to sell common fireworks at retail. However, any other person or business selling common fireworks at retail must register with the State Fire Marshall’s Office and display a registration certificate at the location where the fireworks are being sold. Under Kentucky law, the penalty for violating the above noted fireworks provisions include a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $1,000 and/or confinement in the County Jail for up to 30 days. Every year many persons, especially children, are injured using fireworks. Sometimes children and adults even lose fingers or hands because of the misuse of fireworks or because of defects in the fireworks themselves. Parents and children should be extremely careful to avoid injury caused by fireworks and also to avoid possible criminal charges that may be associated with the sale and use of special fireworks. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

These accomplishments include attending and participating in every First Communion and Reconciliation at the school, contributing to the religious committees, starting the Forester Program at the school, and leading service learning projects. “I feel that doing service is a big part of why we’re here,” Lonneman said. “I made it a goal to find things students could work on to help others outside of our school.”

CATCH A STAR

Doug Lonneman, principal at St. Catherine of Siena School in Fort Thomas, has been awarded this year’s Catechetical Principal of the Year by the Diocese of Covington. Lonneman, who has been at St. Catherine for nine years, said at first, coming from 14 years working in public schools, he struggled with leading a religious school. “Coming here was very different than the public schools, where you can’t talk about your faith,” Lonneman said. “But the teachers here helped me grow as an administrator, and I quickly became comfortable with this role.”

Ever wonder how normal you are? “Why can’t you just be normal?” “Why aren’t you like the other (husbands/wives/kids/ whomever)?” Hearing that can make our selfrespect hit the skids. For if we are not deemed normal, doesn’t that mean we are considered as abnormal, weird, odd, or peculiar in front of the rest of the world? Analyst Dr. Lawrence Jaffe notes that “Patient after patient speaks to me of the frustration in not being able to be ‘normal.’ What a relief to realize that normality is a statistical concept with no empirical validity … This is no such thing as being normal. But what a long road it is that leads finally to that realization.” Normality is an abstraction

derived from the study of statistics. It doesn’t exist in reality. Science may say the average or “normal” stone in a certain riverbed is 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. Yet, a search may never find a stone exactly that size in the stream (what a relief to the rest of the stones!) Stones don’t try to conform themselves to some desirable proportion. But humans do. We forget we are unprecedented. Isaac Singer writes, “Every human character occurs only once in the whole history of human beings.” Such uniqueness makes it impossible to say who’s normal. Government, science and religion have their own “normal” molds.

The government mold says we’re fairly normal if we pay our taxes and obey federal regulations; science considers us normal when we match their statistics and research; religion tends to see normality as being asexual, unquestioning and docile. Seldom do we hear the encouraging words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be yourself! But be your best self!” “The scientist is always looking for an average,” wrote Carl Jung, “yet the truth is that the carriers of life are individuals, not average numbers. When everything is statistical, all individual qualities are wiped out … If you wipe out the mythology of a man and his entire historical sequence, he becomes a statistical average, a number; that is, he becomes nothing.”

Individuation (not individualism) means becoming what we have in us to become. God does not create us and then wonder, “Why did I do that?” We are created as a divine idea with a purpose and a destination. There would be no individuation if there were not roadblocks, detours, and personal efforts – just as there would be no path if there was no wilderness around it that was hewn out by our steps. The singularity of each of our paths is part of what makes finding and staying on it so difficult. Nothing is as important as carrying our own cross, said Jesus Christ. Jaffe wrote, “That means the same as finding and following the path of individuation which has been prepared for you from eternity.

This is the most difficult path but paradoxically also the easiest because it is the only one that will allow you to die with the knowledge that you Father Lou lived your life Guntzelman through and through.” Perspectives Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

New video cameras save money, space on vacation If you’re like me, you love to take videos during family vacations – I’ve been doing it for years. But if you haven’t checked lately you will be shocked at how small the cameras have become – and much less expensive, too. At first home pictures consisted of black and white stills and movies. That soon gave way to color photos and movies – then videotape. The first video camera I owned was quite large and required a separate video recorder that I carried over my shoulder. When technology changed, I bought a small,

excellent, video camera with the tape inside the unit. T h e size was so small I Howard Ain could hold Hey Howard! it in one hand. It cost more than $1,800, but the video was so good I took it on a trip to China and came back with great pictures. I thought video couldn’t get much better – but I was wrong. I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked

at the brilliant, colorful pictures it took – in high definition. My experience with that camera prompted me to buy the Flip Ultra HD camera, which can hold up to two hours of video, instead of one hour, before the pictures have to be downloaded. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can be replaced with two AA batteries should you run out of power and need to keep shooting. I took that camera on a recent trip to Hawaii and was simply amazed at the pictures I got. At one point, I ran out of

power while on a road trip and couldn’t stop to recharge the battery. That’s when the ability to use two AA batteries came in very handy – it allowed me to continue taking pictures when I wouldn’t have been able to do so otherwise. I have since downloaded the video to my computer and looked at the pictures side-by-side with video I had previously taken with my other camera. Even though the older pictures were good, these new pictures were far superior and were taken with a camera so small I can put it in my pocket – and often did

while on my trip. One other thing, the new Flip camera cost just a fraction of what I paid for that state-of-the art camera years ago. The Flip Ultra HD cost me less than $200. Other companies make similar small cameras – like Kodak, whose camera uses memory cards that you can change when they become full. Replaceable cards are an advantage because it means there’s no need to stop and download your videos should your camera’s storage fill up. Bottom line, if you love to

take pictures of your family check out the new pocketsized high definition video cameras. They don’t have all the bells and whistles you’ll find on larger more expensive cameras, but the trade-off in size and price makes them well worth considering.

Let sunlight cook next batch of preserves

What a fun day. Jalean and Jessie, my daughtersi n - l a w, and their kids went with me to Rita A & M Heikenfeld Farms in Rita’s kitchen B r o w n County to pick strawberries. The aroma that hit us when we got out of our cars was berry heaven! Those folks are so family-oriented. The little ones got to help pick and some ate more than they put in their trays. I’m glad the kids weren’t weighed before and after. The berries were ripe and so delicious. The best part was going back to my house where we made 50 jars of jams and sauces. And we got it all done by mid-afternoon. We’ll serve the jam for Father’s Day breakfast. One of my fond memories is seeing my dad, Charlie Nader’s, smile when I’d bring him a

jar of sun-cooked strawberry preserves for Father’s Day.

Sun-cooked strawberry preserves

1 quart or pound strawberries, sliced thickly 3 cups sugar or more to taste 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cook sugar, water and lemon juice until boiling and cook until sugar dissolves. Put berries in, lower to simmer and cook just until they start to lose their color and shrink a bit. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan (I use cookie sheets with sides) in single layers. Set in sun for three to four days. When berries are plump and turn darker red and syrup has jelled, pack into jars without reheating. Store in refrigerator up to a month or in freezer up to six months. If it rains, bring inside. If insects are a problem, cover with cheesecloth.

Rita’s creamed peas

20 slices, 1⁄4-inch, French baguette

8 oz. or so fresh peas, cooked 1 tablespoon each: cornstarch and butter 1 cup milk 3-4 tablespoons cream cheese with chives Mix cornstarch and milk together. Melt butter and add milk mixture. Cook until thick. Stir in cream cheese and season to taste. Pour over peas and mix.

Guru in our backyard

Chef Scott Riehle’s Apple Blue Cheese Canapés: Scott is a young, immensely creative chef at St. Francis Friary on Vine Street in Cincinnati. I visited the friary recently. It has beautiful, serene walled gardens where the friars sometimes take their meals. Scott cooks for 11 resident friars plus unexpected guests from around the world. Scott told me, “Some like meat and potatoes, some are more sophisticated since they were missionaries in

Creamed peas as a summer side dish. far-flung places. “This is one of my favorite appetizers to make for guests. Omit the bacon and it becomes a wonderful vegetarian option.” The friary is lucky to have this west-side chef, who’s cooking philosophy is: “If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong!” 1 Granny Smith apple (Peeled, cored, cut into thin slices) 4 oz. crumbled blue cheese 1 small red onion, sliced thin 5 strips cooked, crumbled bacon 5 Provolone cheese slices, quartered

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place provolone on bread. Finish topping with remaining ingredients. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until cheese melts and bread is slightly toasted. Serve warm.

Happy Father’s Day

To another guru in our backyard: Gert Buchheim. You may remember Jay and his dad, Gert, when they owned Maya’s restaurant in Blue Ash. Well Gert, a trained pastry chef, is still baking five days a week for Golf Manor Synagogue. He makes kosher pastries, which are dairy-free, along with heirloom cakes and confections. Gert is an octogenarian. “I like being busy and making people happy,” he said.

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

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.
