Mark Hayden announced his intention to seek re-election as a Campbell County Fiscal Court Commissioner with the caveat that he will not accept any campaign donations. Hayden, R-Wilder, has been one of the elected commissioner for District 1 on Fiscal Court since 2005. There are three elected commissioners and an elected judge-executive on the Fiscal Court. Taking money from people for a campaign didn’t feel right especially when people are hurting in the current economic climate, Hayden said. “I just think in these difficult economic times we should come together as a community,” Hayden said. Hayden, who has worked for
Greenebaum, Doll & McDonald for 23 years in complex business litigation, said he’s been f o r t u n a t e enough that he can afford to Hayden finance his own campaign. “But more importantly, I would prefer to encourage people to donate money to charity rather than my campaign,” he said. Hayden said he sees it as part of his role in county leadership to encourage giving to charity. Hayden said in his news release announcing his re-election bid, he’s proud that during his time in office the Fiscal Court has maintained balanced budgets with no tax increase. There have been tax increases, but Hayden said he does not consider the annual 4 percent
Hayden’s charities:
Campbell County Fiscal Court Commissioner Mark Hayden said his charities of choice he’s considering having fundraiser events for instead of campaign fundraisers include the Wounded Warrior Project and charities that serve the needy in the local community. The Woulded Warrior Project is a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission that includes organizing assistance and raising awareness of severely injured military service members. increase in revenue the Fiscal Court takes each year a tax increase. It’s a cost of living increase, Hayden said. “What you’re doing is keeping up with inflation,” he said. Hayden said he is pleased that the Fiscal Court has now finished with a new comprehensive plan, and big capital projects including a new jail, county administration
and health clinic building, and adding Hawthorne Crossing near Alexandria to the county’s park system. Completing the capital projects will allow the county to focus on other areas of the budget and working to save money, he said. Hayden said he also wants to identifying means to stimulate the economy. That includes working with the Campbell County Economic Progress Authority and TriED (the Tri-County Economic Development Corporation) to continue to pursue new businesses and tax incentives to attract businesses and jobs. “I think we’ve accomplished a lot as a Fiscal Court,” Hayden said. “I want to continue to balance the budget, keep taxes low, and encourage economic development.” Hayden lives in Wilder with his wife Denise and their sons John, Ryan and Chad.

Camp Springs-based StoneBrook Winery has opening a tasting room/cart inside Art on the Levee, an art gallery at Newport on the Levee. The tasting room, open inside the art gallery during select hours, is located on the Riverwalk level of the Levee, across from the movie ticket purchasing area. It is stocked with all 17 varieties of wines made by StoneBrook including a Vidal Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Domain Reserve, Estate Reserve, and a selection of fruit/berry wines. Larry and Karen Stanfield of Union tasted six StoneBrook wines during the grand opening Thursday, July 9. They said they liked the wines and purchased bottles of the Domain Reserve and Chambourcin varieties. After finding the StoneBrook tasting room in the Levee, Larry said they plan to visit the Camp Springs winery’s tasting room for

The opening of the tasting room coincides with a move of Art on the Levee to the Riverwalk floor of the levee from the first floor that has resulted in more customer traffic for the store, said Francisco Marziano, gallery manager. The gallery features the work of artists including paintings and photography and sculpture from all around Kentucky, Cincinnati and Indiana. Customers can find almost any price and style
for any budget, he said. And the gallery has been looking to bring in a wine vendor to go along with other entertainment like live music on Friday and Saturday, Marziano said. Dennis Walter, owner and operator of StoneBrook, said he’s been looking for a good satellite tasting room for a while, and Newport on the Levee is a good spot for now and the future. “We want to be part of the Levee and area around Newport, especially for when Ovation comes online,” he said.

The project’s price tag is more than $800 million, and would include space for residential, office, hotel, retail and entertainment destinations. Mary Ann Middendorf of White Oak said she especially enjoyed the peach wine she tried during the July 9 grand opening. “I think this is a good atmosphere for them, especially in the gallery,” Middendorf said. “I mean art and wine go together.”
Southgate is going to be a busy place in the next few weeks. The fun begins with the Southgate Volunteer Fire Department’s Block Party from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, July 18, on Electric Avenue. Southgate Fire Chief John Beatsch said this year’s event, which includes games, food, drinks, live music and other activities, will have a little different set-up from last year because of the current construction of the city’s new fire department. The block party is one of the fire departments yearly fundraiser to help supplement the income they receive from the city. This year the money will likely go towards paying for gear, which costs upwards of $5,000 for each person, for some of the departments new members, Beatsch said. A few weeks after the block party, the Southgate Fire Department is teaming up with the Highland Heights-Southgate Police Authority and Central Campbell County Fire Department to host the 26th annual National Night Out event. The event is from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4, at the Southgate Community Center, 301 West Walnut St.

started looking around her house for things to sell at a yard sale. But, a trip to her attic changed Stafford’s feelings about her current situation when she came across an article about Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. The foundation, which raises money to find a cure for childhood cancer, began when one cancer patient, Alexandra “Alex” Scott, set out to raise money for the cause by setting up a lemonade stand in her front yard at the age of 4. Since that first lemonade stand, the foundation has raised more than $25 million for cancer research. “There I was sitting there feeling sorry for myself, and here was this brave little girl who has inspired so many people,” Stafford said. “I realized that none of my problems compared to what her and her family went through.” After reading the article, Stafford said she decided she wanted to do what she could to help. At her yard sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at 515 South Grand Ave., Stafford will run a lemonade stand with drinks and baked goods, which she will give away while asking for donations for the foundation. “One of my points with this was to challenge other people in the community to do it too,” Stafford said. “Fort Thomas is so family-oriented and there are always so many garage sales, I really think we could help a lot.” For those who can’t start their own or come to the sale and donate to hers, Stafford said they could go to www.alexslemonade.org and donate to her event, or in general. Those interested can also buy “virtual” cups of lemonade at www.lemonadestandforlife.com.

The skirt game will feature multiple teams from V.F.W. members and other groups including Easter Seals.

Men will be putting on skirts in Alexandria Aug. 8 to put people with disabilities and disadvantages to work. The second Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skirt Softball Benefit Tournament at the Campbell County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3205 ballfield in Alexandria is a fundraiser for the Easter Seals Work Resource Center in Cincinnati. Easter Seals was chosen because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Diana Robinson of Alexandria, a member of the VFWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ladies Auxiliary, works as manager of customer relations. The work center empowers individuals with disabilities and disadvantages to increase their independence through work, Robinson said. Robinson said she was thrilled when members of the V.F.W. asked her if she would like them to support the Work Resource Center where she has worked for 32 years. The center served 10,150 people through 17 different programs in 2008 helping adults with disabilities and developmental disabilities obtain job training and placement, which helps them practice their social
state board of education for 35 years. He was an early and enthusiastic advocate for the establishment of a public institution of higher education in Northern Kentucky and in fact helped secure the land for NKU in the 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Pogues were truly a partnership in supporting the things they both loved, education and the arts. Although alone since 2005, Mrs. Pogue continues to carry on the work that she and late husband started many years ago. Their gift will provide scholarship opportunities for talented students from diverse backgrounds who demonstrate commitment to the NKU community through leadership and active participation in civic/and or community organizations. In total, GCPGC gave 20 Voices of Giving Awards to honorees whose gifts are helping to ensure diverse causes will be viable for the future. Collectively they have committed to giving millions, but more importantly they committed to leaving their legacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greater Cincinnati is a generous, caring community and non-profit organizations are an especially important aspect of our lives,â&#x20AC;? Andrea Herzig, president of GCPGC told the audience at the Awards event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Voices of Giving honorees have all taken the time for purposeful giving; planning their gift for generations they will never meet. This is the true meaning of altruistic philanthropy.â&#x20AC;? Presenting sponsor for the GCPGC Voices of Giving Awards was the Josephine Schell Russell Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, Trustee. The event was hosted by CET. The Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council is a professional association of individuals whose life work is to helping to ensure the viability of charitable organizations. It is among the first Planned Giving Councils nationwide to launch the Leave a Legacy Program that encourages individuals to leave a bequest or other planned gift to a nonprofit cause important to them.

Student has 12 years perfect attendance By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com
From first grade until her senior year, Fort Thomas resident Madison McGhee didn’t miss a single day of school. That’s no sick days, no “I just don’t feel like going today” days for 12 years in a row. “I really got lucky, I was never severely sick during the school
year,” McGhee said. “I was always the one sitting in a nine person classroom when everyone else was out with the flu.” McGhee said her mother Diana McGhee, the director of technology for the Fort Thomas Independent Schools, also played a part in her success by always scheduling her doctor and dentist check-ups for spring break or summer vacation.
When it comes to those days when many students just don’t feel like going to school, McGhee said her love for learning and desire to do good made it so she never really had those days. “I always liked learning, and I was always afraid that if I didn’t go to school, I’d miss something important,” McGhee said. “I just didn’t trust my classmates to take notes as good as I do.”
Rita Byrd, the district’s director of student services, said for as far back as she can remember, no student has had a streak of perfect attendance this long. “From a school perspective, we want students to be here because they can’t learn if they’re not here,” Byrd said. “Attendance does equate to academic success.” Byrd said the district is proud of McGhee’s achievement, which
Stimulus supplementing school budget By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Federal stimulus money is providing Campbell County Schools’ budget with an infusion of more than $1.5 million that the district has two years to spend on improving programs for special needs and low income students. The stimulus money comes with specific spending guidelines the district has to follow and is being funneled through established federal programs. So, the stimulus funds cannot be used to push money back into the district’s general fund to aid programs. By far the biggest amount of stimulus funds, $1.286 million, is related to spending for students with special needs in grades K-12, said Mark Vogt, director of finance for the district. Things the special education money will be used for include the funding of nine positions for the next two years including five reading para-educators (one for each elementary school), a high school math teacher, a high school reading teacher, and for one guidance counselor each at the high school and middle school. The special education funding will also cover the $32,100 cost of buying a handicap accessible van, $125,000 for computers, $25,000 for assistive technology equipment and software, and $94,000 for the purchase of other resource materials including intervention software like FASST Math. Other positions that will be funded including a staff developer to focus on student performance in special education, and a “psychometrist,” a position that will include the duty of focusing on students referred to special education. The special education funding is tied to Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. “We can’t, for example, use the funds to hire an extra teacher
unless that teacher was dedicated to improving the education of students with special needs,” Vogt said. The second largest pot of stimulus funding, $271,156, is through the existing federal Title I Part A (or basic) program that provides for the individual needs of students that are economically disadvantaged, Vogt said. The Title I Part A money will be used for special needs students that are preschool age. The extra Title I funding adds $104,906 for students that are neglected or delinquent, especially those that are residents of Holly Hill Children’s Services, Campbell Lodge Boys Home, and the juvenile detention center, or who are students at the district’s day treatment school. Overall, the district has to follow four guidelines when dealing with any stimulus money, Vogt said. • Spend the money quickly to save and create jobs like the guidance counselor positions, he said. • Improving student achievement through school improvement and reform. • Ensuring transparency and accountability. “We have special account codes for such expenses and they are approved by the Board as being paid for with stimulus money,” Vogt said. • And invest the one-time money thoughtfully. The district doesn’t want to create obligations beyond the two years that the money is allotted, he said. “That is why we present the positions, generally as only being two-year positions,” Vogt said. Although the money has restrictions, the district is certainly putting it to good use, said Shelli L. Wilson, associate superintendent. “This money allows us to think forward - to think about purchases that will have lasting impacts on student achievement,” Wilson said.
was announced at her graduation ceremony in June. “At graduation there was an audible gasp from everyone in the auditorium when they announced it,” McGhee said. “It is nice to be recognized for hard work.” McGhee said now that she has graduated, she will be attending the University of Kentucky in the fall and plans to major in chemistry.

The schools eligible for the grants had to have 50 percent or more of their students eligible for free-or-reduced lunches, Whiles said. Through the program, students will be given the food sometime other than breakfast or lunch, but the exact time, how often and other details will be determined by the individual schools, Whiles said. Whiles said while it seems like a lot of
money for just fruits and vegetables, it only breaks down to about $50 per student for the entire school year. “We only have one year to use the money, but I don’t think it will be hard to use it all,” Whiles said. This is the first year Newport schools have received this grant, but Whiles said she hopes they can continue receiving the grant in the future.

NEWS FROM NKU AD finalists named
Northern Kentucky University announced five finalists for the school’s Director of Athletics position.Those finalists will visit the school’s Highland Heights campus July 6-13 for interviews with athletics staff, student athletes, university administrators and members of the campus community.The five finalists are: • Jerry Wollmering, Director of Athletics, Truman State University • Jerome Rodgers, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance, Boston College • Scott Eaton, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Administration, Northern Kentucky University • Derek van der Merwe, Senior Associate Athletics Director, Central Michigan University • Holly Sheilley, Assistant Athletic Director for Championships & Student Development, University of Louisville Zebulun Davenport, NKU vice president for student affairs, said he hopes to have the position filled in July. Jane Meier stepped down as NKU director of athletics April 3 after 31 years at NKU, including 21 as athletic director.
NKU to limit enrollment
Northern Kentucky University has received more than 6,500 freshman applications for the upcoming fall semester – an all-time record at NKU and a 36 percent increase over last year. While university officials are encouraged by the high demand, they continue to be concerned about classroom capacity and announced they will be forced to limit enrollment this fall. Qualified freshmen with more than one academic deficiency who apply for admission after July 1 will be deferred to the spring semester. Students with just one or no academic deficiencies will continue to be admitted for the fall. “Our community has come to know NKU as a place where students can receive a high-quality education at an affordable price,” said NKU President James Votruba. “We have worked hard to ensure an up-close and personal experience for our students and we are proud to have an outstanding faculty and staff who care deeply about the students we serve. The commitment from the entire campus community has made these record numbers possible.”
University officials stressed that current NKU students will not be impacted by this change, but they do encourage all continuing students to register for classes soon. With such large numbers expected this fall, it is likely that by August class selection will be more limited than in past years. And Zebulun Davenport, vice president for student affairs, emphasized that despite limits on enrollment this fall, there is still limited capacity in the university’s residential facilities for students who want to live on campus.
Films and lessons
Northern Kentucky University film students have collaborated with the school’s W. Frank Steely Library to unveil Creative Thinking, an educational copyright and plagiarism Web site for junior high through freshman college students. Funded by a grant from the Cincinnati Bar Foundation, Creative Thinking films, lessons and activities are designed to educate teens and young adults about plagiarism and copyright law. As part of the project, an NKU summer film class created multiple original short films. A project committee, comprised of representatives from NKU, University of Louisville and other regional community partners such as CET (Greater Cincinnati Television Educational Foundation), KYVL
(Kentucky Virtual Library) and the Campbell County Public Library coordinated the program. The free Web site is now available at http://creativethinking.nku.edu.
IT careers camp
The Northern Kentucky University College of Informatics will once again host the week-long INTERalliance IT Careers Camp for its second summer beginning July 20. Twenty local high school students will participate in this unique, highly competitive program that exposes the region’s best and brightest young IT talent to career opportunities in information technology. The session will feature four teams competing in various daily “problemsolving Olympics” in which they propose IT solutions for real-world challenges. The teams competing in this year’s NKU program are sponsored by Tier1 Performance, Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions, Cincinnati Bell Wireless and Procter & Gamble. In a week-long capstone “Communication Enhancer Inventor’s Competition” project, each team designs a device that can help people with special needs to communicate more effectively. The NKU program partners with Redwood, a local service provider for children and adults with disabilities, which provides staff to judge the students’ creations on the final day.

NKU stars make waves at golf tourney By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Jeremy Martin is just starting his career at Northern Kentucky University. The soon-to-be Norse sophomore hopes for more days like July 9, when he claimed the Northern Kentucky Men’s Amateur golf championship at Lassing Pointe in Union. The Dry Ridge, Ky., native shot 136 (70-66) in a 36-hole final to claim his first title. “It’s the biggest (win),” he said. “I just hung in there and things stated going my way on the back nine. I knew this morning I had to get around even par, and I figured if I shot under par I’d have a chance.” Martin was the survivor of a four-day competition. He was seeded second in the championship flight after a qualifying round, then won two matches to advance to an eight-man championship round of medal play. The final round was a tight battle until the final holes.
“I had to stay patient,” Martin said. “I chipped in on 13 and that really got my going.” NKU teammate Eric Fuldner finished third in the final with a 141. The Campbell County High School graduate played his final season for the Norse last fall. “It’s always been my goal to be able to make it to the finals and give myself a chance to win,” he said. “This is probably my favorite golf course in the area. I always seem to play well here.” Fuldner and his father, Tom, were both in the championship flight. Tom lost in the first round of match play, 1-up. “We were hoping to play together,” Tom said. “The last time it was here, I was in the finals and my dad drove around with me. He passed away last year and we were both thinking of him.” Eric Fuldner, who will graduate

We’re U23; we’re committed to using college players. A lot of these teams have older established players.” Stahl said the defense improved in the second half of the season as the players got to know each other. “We’ve had some good results and are playing with confidence,” he said. “If we come back with eight to 12 players from this year, I’d feel more comfortable because they have had time together. They know what my style is and I know what their style is.”

RECREATIONAL
Jordan Hatfield blew out his elbow nearly two years ago while playing football for Newport High School. After reconstructive “Tommy John” surgery, Hatfield’s right arm is strong enough this summer for him to resume his favorite track event, the javelin. Hatfield, an incoming senior who lives in Southgate, has been busy traveling the country in meets. He competes in four different events, the javelin, discus and shot put throws, and the high jump. In July, he competed in regional meets in Charleston, W.V., and Hammond, Ind., trying to qualify for separate national events. “I’m excited,” he said before the Charleston event. “This year I am in the older division of my age group and I have a better chance of qualifying for nationals and doing well.”
In West Virginia, he won first place July 12 in javelin, with a personal best of 166 feet, 4 inches. Hatfield finished fifth last May in the Class A shot put in the KHSAA state meet. The javelin, not contested in Kentucky high schools, is his favorite event, and he is excited to compete in it at full strength. “The season before I hurt my elbow I did very well in javelin. I won a national title in Florida,” Hatfield said. “This season is the first I’m able to throw it as hard as I’m usually able to. I’m excited to be able to prove myself in my best event.” Hatfield threw the javelin nearly 152 feet in a recent meet. He said training in four different events is a challenge, but he enjoys it. “I enjoy all the traveling to different track meets,” he said. “I enjoy all the friends I’ve met around the country through track.”
The Kentucky high school state volleyball tournament will return to Northern Kentucky University this fall. Regents Hall will host the event, which will bring 16 high school volleyball teams to the area. They will be regional champions from all over the state. This will be the third time NKU has hosted the tourney in the past five years. It was at Regents Hall in 2005 and 2007, alternating between Frankfort Convention Center in 2006 and Louisville’s Bellarmine University in 2008. “It’s an outstanding opportunity for the university,” said Scott Eaton, NKU’s senior associate athletic director, who directs the facility. “We’ve been fortunate to host it three times recently. They love bringing it to our facility.” Louisville Assumption beat St. Henry in the 2005 state final at Regents Hall, and then Notre Dame in the 2007 championship. A similar final could be in store this year, as their regions are on opposite sides of the 2009 draw. Eaton said those finals led to packed stands at Regents Hall and
hopes for the same this year. He is also excited about the rest of the state being exposed to the new parts of campus including the Bank of Kentucky Center. “There are plenty of hotels in Northern Kentucky,” he said. “There are so many restaurants and plenty of places for people to be going while they’re here.” The other big changes in the KHSAA state championship schedule from last year involve football and baseball. As has been known for several months, the state football finals will move to Bowling Green on the campus of Western Kentucky University. The six games will return to the first weekend of December, a week earlier than 2008. In baseball, all 16 regional champions will play a four-round, single-elimination tournament in Lexington instead of just having eight teams there in recent years. The best-of-three, semi-state round has been eliminated. Teams will play four games over six days in the new format at Applebee’s Park. Track returns to the first weekend of June for its state meet. It had been moved a week earlier last May to accommodate the NCAA track regionals in Louisville.

Highlands golfer driven to Hanover By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Highlands High School senior Bridget Neal was part of a growing golf team at the school. Now she’s looking forward to helping the Hanover College team, as she committed to the Division III Indiana school May 28. “It’s a good program and it’s competitive, which I wanted,” she said. “I didn’t want it to be a joke.” Neal leaves as one of two Bluebirds in team history to compete in the KHSAA state tournament twice (Kelly Borman was the other). She was part of Highlands’ 2006 team which is the only full Bluebird squad to qualify for the state tourney.
“It was definitely an honor to get down there, especially when we qualified as a team,” she said. “When we did it, it was a huge accomplishment for everybody who was part of the team that year.” Neal started the game at age 12 and has been on the team since seventh grade. “I enjoy the relationships that I’ve made,” she said. “They’re not just temporary relationships; they’re long lasting.” Said Highlands head coach Diana McGhee: “Bridget is a player who set high goals for herself and worked every minute to reach those goals. Before a tournament on Saturday morning she would go chip in the backyard before we even headed out.”

Last week’s question
This month marks the 40th anniversary of man’s first step on the moon. What do you remember about that event? Do you think the U.S. should return to the moon? Why or why not?
“It was July 21, 1969, and I was finishing up a career step in West Virginia, and preparing to move to Cincinnati. “I remember that a co-worker named Dick Longyear was with my wife and I when Neil Armstrong made history; his first words were, ‘Houston - the Eagle has landed.’ “And then came the unforgettable ‘That’s one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.’ “I may lack the necessary wisdom and foresight to understand it all clearly, but to be honest, I see no point in any attempts by the U.S. to return to the moon, or explore other planets in the solar system.

When people take these games too seriously, it sets a very bad example for our children and can result in criminal prosecution if a sports official or another player or fan is assaulted. In addition to assaults on sports officials, as indicated in the “Hockey Dad” case mentioned above, sometimes there is criminal conduct directed toward coaches or other parents or fans. Obviously any such assaults or other criminal conduct will be prosecuted to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, a question that needs to be asked is why do these situations ever get to the point of there being criminal activity. I know that I get excited and cheer hard for my children as we all do. Please remember these are just kids' games. Relax and don't take these games so seriously. If nothing else, think of what a terrible example this type of adult criminal conduct is for the children. Think of how our children are probably going to be embarrassed and maybe affected for life. It's okay to get excited about kids' sports events, but use a little restraint and common sense and just enjoy. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

Cybercrimes bill to aid families In my travels across Kentucky, parents have often asked me what government can do to protect kids on the Internet. Law enforcement have also complained to me that many officers don’t have the resources to process a computer hard drive for evidence, despite the fact that 80 percent of crimes committed today involve some type of digital evidence. The concerns of parents and police in every corner of the commonwealth have helped shape my agenda as attorney general. I have worked closely with Kentucky lawmakers to draft legislation that would strengthen state laws to better protect children from the dangers that exist online and have identified areas where the law lags technology. I have also worked closely with parents, like Mark Neblett, whose daughter, Rachel, committed suicide after being stalked online. My cybercrimes legislation, passed by the General Assembly during the 2009 regular session, took effect on June 25. This was not only a personal victory, but a victory for Kentucky families. My new law puts in place important safeguards for parents and it gives police and prosecutors the tools they need to arrest and convict cyberpredators who try to harm our children. About the Cybercrimes Law: • Prohibits sex offenders from logging onto social-networking
sites that are used by children under the age of 18. • Requires sex offenders to update their email addresses and online idenJack Conway tifiers with the Community registry in a Recorder similar fashion they update guest as their physical columnist addresses. The bill codifies the Kentucky State Police Department’s current practice of making e-mails available in a searchable database that is accessible to the public. • Amends Kentucky’s stalking statute to include cyberstalking, recognizing that threats or harassment can take place online and in person. • Closes a loophole in current law by clarifying that it is a crime for a person to transmit live sexually explicit images of themselves to minors over the Internet or other electronic network via webcam or other technological devices. • Allows police to seize personal property, such as a computer or car, which has been used by a predator in the commission of sexual offenses against children. • Grants administrative subpoena power to the Office of the Attorney General when investigating online crimes involving the
sexual exploitation of children. This gives investigators direct access to secure relevant information that will help officers identify perpetrators in these cases. • Creates the crime of “phishing” when someone tries to obtain personal identifying information using a Web page, electronic device or e-mail. In addition to bringing criminal statutes up to date with changes in technology, I’ve talked to more than 14,000 Kentucky children and adults about the dangers that exist online through my cybersafety presentations. I have also partnered with the Kentucky Department of Education and Kentucky Child Now to expand our cybersafety education efforts. June marked the one-year anniversary of my new cybercrimes unit dedicated to investigating crimes that occur online. Since its creation, the unit – a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force – has launched 50 child pornography investigations and seized more than 14,400 child pornographic images and nearly 2,200 videos depicting child pornography. I appreciate all of the parents, law enforcement officers, prosecutors and lawmakers who have worked with us on this issue and helped us make Kentucky a safer place to live, work and raise a family. Jack Conway is Kentucky attorney general.
The way forward on health care Our health care system is in need of reform. Health care costs are too expensive and many families do not have access to the affordable, high-quality health care that they deserve. In the coming weeks and months, Congress will debate health care reform proposals. As a father of six and a former small business owner, ensuring access to quality health care is one of my top priorities. To strengthen America’s health care system, my Republican colleagues and I support commonsense reforms that make health care more affordable, reduce the number of uninsured Americans and increase quality at a price our country can afford. Our plan would let families choose an affordable health plan that best meets their needs, regardless of pre-existing conditions. It would also ensure that medical decisions are made between patients and doctors, not by government bureaucrats. Finally, our plan would include prevention, wellness and disease management programs and support research and treatments for life-threatening diseases. You can read more about our ideas for health care reform at www.GeoffDavis.house.gov/Healthcare. Democrat leaders in the House of Representatives and the Senate have already released drafts of their health care reform proposals. The central feature of the leading Democratic proposals is a new government-run insurance plan that they claim will increase “competition” in the health insurance marketplace. However, this concept will put America on an inevitable path to a single-payer government-run health care system by forcing private insurers out of business. When all the other choices are
eliminated, there is no competition and federal government would have control over your health care. A new study U.S. Rep. by the non-parGeoff Davis tisan Lewin (www. Community Group lewin. com) Recorder estimates that guest the governcolumnist ment-run plan would underpay health care providers by 20-30 percent. With no negotiating power against the federal bureaucracy, physicians and hospitals would be forced to make up the difference by increasing rates for those with private insurance. Experience with Medicare and Medicaid have already demonstrated this phenomenon. The Lewin Group concludes that a government-run plan would result in more than 114 million Americans losing their current health insurance coverage, including 106 million Americans who currently have employer-provided health care. Any successful health care reform must embrace solutions that will reduce costs within the health care system as a whole. Wrapping the complexity and inefficiency of government bureaucracy around the entire health care system will make the true costs of health care even less transparent and result in the continued unchecked growth of the system. A “one size fits all” government-run health care system by design will never be able to provide the American people with timely access to the quality health care that they deserve. Republi-

Laws involving assault on sports officials It is that time of year again! Tryouts start in many areas this week for school and other sports activities. Many sports are ongoing as my wife and children are presently in Florida where my daughter is participating in a basketball tournament, and I'm sitting at work writing this article. Anyone else see a problem with this picture? While all of us want our children to do well, sometimes people get too excited. I thought it might be helpful to review Kentucky's law concerning assaults on sports officials and discuss the problem of parents and other fans taking kids' games too seriously. Sports are a large part of our entertainment and recreation whether you are an athlete or a fan. Sports are a great thing for our kids but problems arise when the players or parents or others take these recreational activities too seriously. Often emotions run high and tempers flare and sometimes players or fans lose control. Unfortunately, sometimes our referees, umpires and other sports officials are victims of emotional outbursts from players or fans who take the game too seriously. In order to protect sports officials from assaults, the Kentucky General Assembly passed a law which provides protection for sports officials and establishes penalties for the crime of assaulting a sports official. A person is guilty of assault on a sports official when he or she intentionally causes physical injury to the official who was officiating at the time of the injury or was arriving or leaving an athletic facility where an athletic event was being held. In order to be covered by this particular law, the sports official must be registered as a member of a national, state, regional or local organization that provides education and training to sports officials. Assaulting a sports official under Kentucky law is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to 12 months in jail and up to a $500 fine. However, if five or more people assemble and assault a sports official, each person can be charged with a Class D Felony. Also, any second or subsequent offense of assaulting a sports official is a Class D Felony. A Class D

Kim Baine, who owns the Campbell County franchise of Kona Ice with her husband Chris, serves a snow cone to Carter Schabell, a member of the YMCA's pre-school camp. Schabell is with camp counselor, Beth Pelgen.
Kona Ice offers family atmosphere, fun Since last June, Chris and Kim Baine have been seen throughout Campbell County, always leaving behind some smiles. The couple owns a franchise of Kona Ice trucks that sell snow cones and ice cream. “We’ve been looking to start our own business for years, but we were very particular about what we wanted to do,” said Chris. “We really like the whole family atmosphere that is generated by Kona Ice.” Chris said his family really cares about the community and it makes the family happy to serve the residents and make them happy.
From April through October, Kim said the truck travels throughout the whole county, spending a lot of time at parks and camps and helping raise money for local school and charities. “Campbell County has really embraced us,” said Chris. “We are very grateful for the families who have trusted us and supported us.” In the future, the Baines said they hope to expand their franchise and get more trucks, but stay in the Campbell County area. “We have lived all over the country, and we’re here because we choose to live here because we love it here,” Chris said.

Death has no favorites – even celebrities die A lot of famous people have died recently and that bothers us. It bothers us because the fact of death bothers us terribly. In every life death anxiety is operative in great and small ways. Leavings and losings are not on our agenda. And the second reason we’re bothered over these recent deaths is because they have shattered our suppositions. We suppose that if a person has prestige, wealth, celebrity and popularity that those facts bring with them a certain degree of immortality. We suppose important people (presuming they are) have a charmed life and are too important to lose. Death is supposed to show them the same favoritism we do and back off. How unsettled we are when we
become aware that death plays no favorites. The day of our death is always thought of as far off. The day we come to know we will eventually die – not know it merely in our minds but realize it in our hearts – that day is the day we become a philosopher. Thereafter we pose momentous questions to ourselves and it takes the rest of our lives to answer them. It’s a sad occurrence when favored people never even let themselves get to the questions. Among the questions that arise are ones such as: How should I live knowing I will die some day? Why love anyone at all if they can be taken away from me, and I from them? Is it better to be cautious and avoid the risk of great love for someone in order to be safe from
the heartache of grief? Is there more life after this world’s life that is even more desirable, or is there only disinand Father Lou tegration dry nothingGuntzelman ness? Is there a God Perspectives who created me, loves me, and keeps me alive eternally? The alternative to struggling with questions such as these is to employ certain defenses against the questions ever arising. Hedonism says we can become impervious to death anxiety if we “eat, drink, and be merry.” Denial says, “Just don’t think about it and keep busy.” Agnostic practicality asks,
“Why try to live life wholeheartedly if it will all end?” Ernest Becker acknowledges this strange way of thinking: “The irony of man’s condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we shrink from being fully alive.” Will it help us diminish death anxiety if we draw back from life, from deeply loving, from compassion and enjoyment and closeness to another person? The answer - like so many other answers – is another of life’s paradoxes. Knowing death will come for us some day is the very factor that makes it possible for us to live life now in an authentic fashion. For what is limited is precious, what is plentiful becomes cheap. Knowing our years are limited
urges us to appreciate their preciousness. Death – rather being only a cause of bleak pessimism – ought to be a catalyst to enjoy authentic life modes now. Poet Mary Oliver puts it well: When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom taking the world into my arms. … I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Use cash instead of debit to avoid overdraft charges The nation’s banks continue to raise fees on everything from credit cards to checking accounts. Banks say they need the money to make up for losses they incur during this recession. But customers and consumer groups are crying foul. Banks have come under much criticism for making it easy for customers to spend more money than they have in their account so they can assess overdraft fees. People like Bridget Felts of Milford are furious. She received three overdraft charges recently and said it’s
not fair. “This was for a total of a negative $5.90, and they are charging me, Howard Ain with one Hey Howard! fee that w a s already taken off, $104 – for $5.90. I was just dumbfounded,” Felts said. Felts’ bank had agreed to drop one charge, but not the other two. “It’s a negative $5.90, from what they’re telling me
because, if you look at the statement, it shows I have money the whole time – it never went negative. But they keep saying, ‘It’s for pending. It’s for pending,’ ” she said. The “pending” charges are for two debit card purchases of less than $5 each. “We budget our biweekly checks to the penny so $104, that’s our grocery money, that’s our gas in our car. It’s devastating. I was literally begging these people to give me my money back,” Felts said. After several calls the bank agreed to return the
fees, but Felts said what happened is wrong. “The punishment should fit the crime. If there’s a negative $5.90 balance, $104 is absurd, it’s absolutely ridiculous … It’s not right. It can take months for families to recoup these losses,” Felts said. “I’m a family of five, every penny counts, and they’re just taking it like, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal,’ ” she said. As with others I’ve seen in this situation, most of the overdraft fees are caused by the use of a debit card. Instead of putting those
small charges on her debit card she could have paid cash, and Felts says she’s now learned her lesson. “Use cash. People need to start using cash more often,” she said. Felts said the government is enacting new credit card laws and should reevaluate what the banks are doing. The Federal Reserve is now deciding whether to crack down on automatic overdraft protection. A rule is expected later this year that would prevent banks from manipulating the order of checks and deb-
its so they maximize overdraft fees. Meanwhile, Congress is also listening to consumers and a proposal there would require banks to tell customers when they are at risk of incurring overdraft fees at an ATM machine or cash register so they can cancel the transaction. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints and questions weekdays at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Kids with egg, dairy allergy can still eat cake One of the most fun things about writing this column is the feedback I get from you. No matter where I am, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the grocery store, Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, teaching a class or speaking to a group, someone comes up and mentions my column. I have Rita a l w a y s Heikenfeld b e l i e v e d Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen t h a t â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s because this column isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about food: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;placeâ&#x20AC;? where we gather each week and share recipes, memories, tips, opinions. A good example of this is Michelle Smith, a New Richmond reader, who requested an eggless cake for son Ethanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4th birthday. Clermont County reader Annie Hoffman, a cottage baker, came to the rescue. The bonus is the cake is dairy-free, too.
Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy-free, eggless chocolate cake
Annie says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids will love this cake.â&#x20AC;? Will make 26 cupcakes, a 9-by-13 pan, a 12-by-9 pan or even an 8-by-8 pan. Annie likes to use a 12by-9 pan or 8-by-8 square for thicker cake. Just adjust the baking time: 18 to 20 minutes for cupcakes; start testing cakes about 25 minutes. When toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overbake. Temperature: 350 degrees for all. 3 cups all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 â &#x201E;3 cup Canola (she uses Kroger) oil 2 cups water 2 tablespoons white/ clear vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla Combine dry ingredients
in one bowl. Combine wet ingredients together in one bowl. Mix both together and beat until smooth. Pour into sprayed pan. Annie says cupcakes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be very tall but will be very moist.
Dairy-free fluffy frosting
Use vegetable shortening, not Crisco or any shortening thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-hydrogenated (Annie says it slides off the cake due to formula change to make it non-hydrogenated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK for cupcakes but will slide off sides of cake), so use Kroger or other store, generic brand that says vegetable shortening/hydrogenated. See my tip below. Use any flavor extract you like. 1
â &#x201E;2 cup vegetable shortening 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted 5 tablespoons water 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon almond extract (opt.) 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon butter flavor-
ing (Wilton brand since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clear color) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opt. Put everything in bowl. Mix on low to incorporate. Scrape, then turn on medium for eight minutes. This will incorporate air so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skip this step â&#x20AC;&#x201C; otherwise youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wind up with sugary, not fluffy, frosting. Makes 4 cups. Refrigerates up to six weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bring to room temp and rewhip on low. Chocolate: Start adding cocoa powder to taste, and, if necessary, a bit more water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Makes the fudgiest frosting.â&#x20AC;?

Tip from Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen
Trouble with shortening: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced trouble with recipes
using non-hydrogenated shortening (that makes it healthier), switch back to hydrogenated. Seems like most trouble is with pie crusts/frostings. I know, I know, hydrogenated shortening is not as healthy as non-hydrogenated but really, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something any of us eat on a daily basis. Annie and I agree you should use what makes your recipes taste and look great. Otherwise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wasting money, time and compromising flavor and appearance.
Like Famous Recipeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaw
For Mrs. Whitmer and several others. Go to taste on vinegar, sugar, lemon juice. 1
â &#x201E;3 cup sugar â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 â &#x201E;8 teaspoon pepper 1 â &#x201E;4 cup milk 1 â &#x201E;2 cup mayonnaise 1 â &#x201E;4 cup buttermilk 11â &#x201E;2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 21â &#x201E;2 tablespoons lemon juice 1
8 cups finely chopped cabbage 1 â &#x201E;4 cup grated carrots Whisk together sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayo, buttermilk, vinegar and juice until smooth. Add cabbage and carrots and mix well. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.

Planned Giving Council honors Ron Christian
High Point Champion
PROVIDED.
The 2009 KY State Fair 4-H Horse Show was held July 1-3 in Louisville at the Expo Center. Courtney Goodwin, 15, was one of many who represented the Campbell County Saddle Up Club. She is a sophomore at Campbell County High School and lives in Alexandria. She won the Division II Barrels with a time of 16.005 (there were 73 contestants in the class) and the Division II Stakes with a time of 8.838 (there were 57 contestants in the class). This was enough for her to be named the High Point Champion for Division II. This was the second year for Courtney to compete at this event. She is the daughter of Vickie Goodwin and Keith Goodwin, both of Alexandria. The name of her horse is Peaches and she is a 9-year-old Red Roan Mare. She was sponsored by The Connection Tree, Inc.
Fort Thomas resident Ron Christian, an attorney with Taft, Stettinius and Hollister, was recently honored by the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council (GCPGC) for his contribution of time, resources and knowledge to furthering the organization’s mission. In honor of GCPGC’s 20th anniversary, the organization initiated a new Voices of Giving Advisor Award that was presented to Christian, one of the founders and first presidents of GCPGC. Christian’s foresight and energy helped guide the council as it advanced into the premier professional education organization for charitable gift planning. He is a partner in the Tax, Probate and Estate Planning Department of the Taft Stettinius & Hollister law firm, chairing the firm’s Nonprofit and Tax-exempt Organization Practice Group. He concentrates his practice on counseling nonprofits on tax matters, foundations, endowment funds,
charitable and planned giving programs and governance. “Ron is known by GCPGC members as the ‘goto’ person and is always generous with his time as he patiently answers all our questions. “In the early days of GCPGC, Ron was instrumental in setting the tone of cooperation, not competition among our members,” said Andrea Herzig, president of GCPGC. At the presentation, GCPGC also gave 20 Voices of Giving Awards to philanthropists whose gifts are helping to ensure diverse causes will be viable for the future. Collectively they have committed to giving millions, but more importantly they committed to leaving their legacy. Presenting sponsor for the GCPGC Voices of Giving Awards was the Josephine Schell Russell Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, Trustee. The event was hosted by CET. The Greater Cincinnati

Neighborhood Foundations awarded $1 million grant lot of recognition for the success of our homeownership program, and we're glad that the Department of Local Government thought highly enough of our program to award us such a significant grant. “We are ready to start the rehab process and continue revitalizing the neighborhood.” Buyers of these homes must meet certain income requirements and pass a stringent set of qualifications.
With the help of soft second mortgages provided through Neighborhood Foundations, residents completely own the home after just eight years. Neighbors of the properties agree that the program is changing the face of the city, and Neighborhood Foundations' work in Newport was named a top Hope VI program in the nation. For more information about the homes for sale, contact Neighborhood Foundations at 581-2533.
Consider a health savings account TIP TAX
With the rising costs of health care, perhaps a health savings account (HSA) could benefit you. An HSA combines a high-deductible health insurance policy with a tax-sheltered medical savings account.

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
