What started as a small fundraiser for a mission trip to Jamaica has now become much more. The Gangsters, Gamblers & Girls tour, was started by local residents and Llyod High School teachers Jerry Gels and Dave Kohake to support their mission trips with local high school students to Jamaica through Global Service Learning Inc. Now, because of the enormous success of the tour, which takes people through Newport’s “Sin City” days of gangsters and gambling, the two have decided to take the tours to the next level, continuing and expanding them. “We got so much positive feedback, and it was really successful,” Kohake said. “In the two weekends we had it, we raised around $12,000.” Kohake said that money was used not only to pay for the mission trip, but it also allowed the group to purchase supplies and

“While we were doing research for the gangster tour, we found out that there are a lot of places in Newport that are said to be haunted,” Kohake said. In October, the group is starting a ghost tour, which will take people around the area to places like The Southgate House and Bobby Mackey’s, which are considered by some to be haunted. In November, the group is planning a behind-the-scenes gangster tour, which will take people inside parts of local places that haven’t been seen by many, including the basement of The Newport Syndicate, where there is a tunnel that goes under the street, Kohake said. Kohake said he is also hoping to offer a lecture series late this

year and early next year, where people will have a chance to hear from people who lived during the “Sin City” era and have interesting stories to tell. “We just can’t stop now that we’ve started,” Kohake said. “We kind of got sucked in by everything because it’s so interesting.” A portion of the proceeds from the tours will continue to benefit the mission trips, which Kohake said they have big plans for next year. “Next year we hope to make an even bigger impact on the community in Jamaica,” Kohake said.

Fort Thomas resident, UC student shares recent experience in Haiti By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

A recent mission trip to Haiti is something that Fort Thomas resident Evan Clinkenbeard will never forget. Clinkenbeard, a finance major at the University of Cincinnati, said the things he experienced on his nine-day trip to Port-AuPrince, Haiti, changed the way he looks at life and the things many take for granted. “I wanted to help those less fortunate and experience something different and I did, it was incredible,” Clinkenbeard said. “There were so many moments that were just breathtaking and a lot different feelings from sadness to feeling grateful.” Clinkenbeard went on the trip with members of his fraternity, Sigma Chi, who have been going on mission trips to the area the past two years with help from FOCAS Ministries. This summer, the main goal of the trip was to provide electricity to

Clinkenbeard said along with the work they did at the complex, they also got to visit a local teen pregnancy clinic, juvenile prison and the poorest area in Haiti, Cite Soleil. “There is open sewage, thousands upon thousands of people, ravaged housing and just nothing

that seems to be functional in the entire area,” Clinkenbeard said. “It was sad to see how many people are affected by this level of poverty that leaves people with absolutely nothing.” Clinkenbeard said the trip meant so much to him that he hopes to be able to continue doing mission work throughout his life.

Answers still sought in 25-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;missingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The family of Liz Maggard is still seeking to take their suspicions that she was murdered into a court room 25 years later. Each year the family has spent the days surrounding of Maggardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance on July 4, 1984 by walking around the courthouse Newport handing out fliers seeking information of her whereabouts. This year, Maggardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother John Downton, and her mother, Gail Ent, who both live near Cold Spring,

decided to post signs offering a $10,000 reward instead. Liz Maggard was last seen at an apartment complex in Silver Grove July 4, 1984. She was 22 at the time, and she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been seen since that day. The hope is that the reward is enough incentive to bring someone with information forward, Ent said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know when you speak of money, a lot of people do some weird things,â&#x20AC;? Ent said. Ent said she still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten over her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

And each time a body is found in the Cincinnati area, Ent said her phone still rings with friends and family alerting her, just in case it turns out to be her daughter Lizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remains.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your story never ends until you find our kid,â&#x20AC;? Ent said. Ent said since other states can prosecute for murder without a body that Kentucky could, too, although she understands that all the evidence collected so far is circumstantial.

But until the case goes to trial or remains are found, the family wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rest, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we want is to have somebody give us some remains so we can have some kind of closure,â&#x20AC;? Ent said. Phone calls to the Kentucky State Police about the

ongoing investigation were not returned. But it remains an active case with police and the Commonwealth Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ongoing investigation,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle Snodgrass, Commonwealth Attorney for Campbell County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on open investigations.â&#x20AC;? The family has worked with three detectives at KSP, changing detectives when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve retired over the past 25 years, said John Downton, Maggardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother. And the police have actively reviewed the case in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cold caseâ&#x20AC;? fashion several times in recent years, Downton said. Downton said the reward signs, including a highway billboard along U.S. 27 south of Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lick will be up all year, and possibly for forever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything to try to draw attention to our case, we just keep fighting for her,â&#x20AC;? he said.

New Web site for A.J. Jolly golfers By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The 18-hole A.J. Jolly Golf Course has a new Web site that will be a clearinghouse for scheduling information to help golfers plan their outing. The Web site also provides a changing showcase of the coursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; greens overlooking A.J. Jolly Lake. The course, opened in 1962, is operated by Campbell County. Before the Web site (www.ajjolly.com) was launched it required checking with the clubhouse staff to find out about special events and league play to avoid trying to play around the same time, said Terry Jolly, the courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf pro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would have to give us a call and say what do you have planned,â&#x20AC;? Jolly said.

Now players can find out on the Web site about everything from par, yardage slopes and water hazards to upcoming events on a scorecard layout. People can by gift cards throughout the Web site, and rates and fees are listed. About the only thing golfers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do on the Web site is book a tee time. Internet tee time bookings were originally considered, but have been abandoned for now, he said. So golfers will still need to call ahead to book a tee time. The course is running a promotion through the Web site offering a free green fee for a week prior to and after a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday when a cart rental is purchased. The promotion will last through the end of the year and possibly into next year, Jolly

said. People with birthdays in the winter can apply for the promotion and receive the same deal in the spring, he said. By signing up for the promotion, golfers will also be helping the course build its database of customers. There are plans to send out promotions, schedules and other news to customers who register through the Web site, Jolly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting ready to send our first blast out to all the e-mails weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collected so far,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Web site gives patrons easier access to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on at the course, Jolly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve listed a lot of our league schedules where they can get who they play and when the play, and see the standings,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Moore mentions combining 911 for Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties pmckibben@nky.com

Could there be one 911 dispatching service someday in Boone, Campbell and Ken-

ton counties? Boone County JudgeExecutive Gary Moore float-

ed such an idea July 21 during the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce’s

State of Northern Kentucky Address at Receptions in Erlanger. After the forum, Moore said Kenton County is talking about merging dispatch units in the county and that probably needs to happen before officials can talk about how the three counties might work together. He said now it’s just discussion and there are not active meetings taking place. Moore said there could conceivably be two or even three facilities but one management team and one revenue source. He noted the buying power that would be generated by having single purchasing of hardware/software. Kenton County and the city of Erlanger are discussing combining their dispatching services. Covington still has its own and is not part of the discussions. Boone and Campbell counties each have one dispatching service. During the program, Kenton County Judge-Executive Ralph Drees said he agreed with having one dispatch for the three-county area. In other discussions at the forum, Moore, Drees, Campbell County Judge-Executive Steve Pendery and Gallatin County Judge-Executive

Kenny French talked about projects in their communities. Pendery said excavation is going to begin in August on the U.S. 27 project in the southern part of Campbell County. He said the county’s new administration building in Newport will open in October. He said two mixed-used developments – Manhattan Harbour along Dayton’s riverfront and Ovation in Newport – are each expected to build out more than a $1 billion of assessed value. He said the entire assessed valuation of Campbell County is a little more than $5 billion. Drees said Kenton County just finished a $1.2 million addition to its animal shelter. He said Kenton County needs a new administration building in probably four or five years. Moore said in Boone County capital projects are basically on hold (major building projects or infrastructure improvements) unless it’s a federal or state grant where the county has to come up with only a 20 percent match. French said Gallatin County has about $7.5 million worth of sewer work that is planned and is in various stages of contracts being prepared to be let.

Weatherization funds expected Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission expects to receive funds for the weatherization of homes for those eligible. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, commonly known as the economic stimulus, will provide funding for the weatherization of homes in our area. Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission is encouraging those who have not received weatherization services since Sept. 30, 1993, to call their county neighborhood center and schedule a time to complete an application. You may be eligible if your income is at or below 200 percent of the poverty level. According to Florence Tandy, NKCAC executive director, the application process takes about 20 min-

utes. You will need to provide proof of your income for the past year and expect to answer questions about your home such as how many people live there, their ages and some other general questions. If you are determined to be eligible for services, your name is put on a waiting list and ranked in a priority order. The application process identifies those with the highest need and moves them to the top of the list.

Local teen earns solo wings Chase Pendery, 17, is all smiles after achieving one of the more exciting goals on his busy summer to-do list. He performed his first solo flight in a Cessna 172 aircraft after completing 10 hours of flight training during Civil Air Patrol's 15th annual National Flight Academy in Oshkosh, Wis. Pendery, a national honor society student and senior at Highlands High School, is a cadet chief master sergeant in the KY073 Campbell County Composite Squadron of Civil Air Patrol, an official auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Pendery was one of only 14 CAP cadets selected nationwide for this prestigious flight academy, and he is the first cadet to attend the academy from the KY073 squadron, where he has been a member for four years. Pendery received the intensive flight training June 12-21 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis., where his flight instructor was CAP Capt. Gregory Patchel of the Wisconsin

“Completing the training and being qualified to fly solo is just incredible. Being at the academy was a whole lot of fun,” he said. Chase is the son of Dana and Steve Pendery of Fort Thomas. He has one sister Allie, 13, who also attends Highlands. After flight training, Chase was home for about a week before heading off to the five-week Kentucky Governor's Scholar program with a focus on business and economics at Centre College in Danville. Members of CAP include both adults and students who are 12 years of age and older. The KY073 Campbell County Composite Squadron meets at 6:30 p.m. Thursdays at the Fort Thomas Army Reserve Center. The three primary missions of CAP include emergency services, aerospace education, and cadet programs. More than 22,000 young Americans ages 1220 participate nationwide in the CAP cadet program, which trains young men and women in teamwork, moral leadership, aerospace

Wing. “I was really honored to be selected in the first place,” Pendery said. “The flight academy is challenging and it was a lot of hard work. I studied a lot. My grandfather was a colonel in the Air Force and I've always wanted to fly.” Pendery said his solo flight was probably around 35 minutes from starting the preflight checklist and inspection through to the landing. “The solo flight was stressful and exhilarating at the same time. When you get up there by yourself 1,000 feet above ground level, there's nothing like it. It was an adrenaline rush like no other,” he said. During his landing, Pendery had to make some adjustments for pretty heavy crosswinds. “I came in using what's called a crab angle, flying in a way that adjusts for the winds to make the landing. But I was well-prepared by my instructor. I have a lot of respect for him as a teacher and a pilot,” Pendery said.

New educational trail vandalized By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Vandals are hampering preservation efforts at St. Anne Wetlands again, but this time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re targeting educational signs and kiosks and befouling the area with trash. While incidents of damage from ATV riding at the Ohio River wetland area have decreased since reported earlier this spring, vandals have carved graffiti onto the educational signs and kiosks erected this spring and littered the area with trash, said Rebecca Kelley, Ph.D., director of environmental sciences at Northern Kentucky University. NKU is helping maintain the educational trails on the property along with the Campbell County Conservancy. The Congregation of Divine Providence, which operates nearby St. Anne Convent, granted management of the property to the Conservancy in 2008. The most recent damage was discovered July 15

when Kelley led a group of middle school students enrolled in a week-long summer science camp on a tour of the educational trail through the about 100-acre wetland along the Ohio River near St. Anne Convent on the border of Melbourne and Silver Grove. The students received a lesson on the impact of vandalism in addition to learning about how a wetland functions, what they mean for water quality, and what organisms rely on the area. Kelley said she spoke to the children after they saw the vandalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all got it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good thing to do,â&#x20AC;? Kelley said. There were crude symbols and names carved into the cork board of an entrance sign, which Kelley tried not to point out to the children, and several of the six information kiosks were damaged along the trail. There were also food wrappers and bottles on the grounds. There are about 10 NKU students helping develop

There were also food wrappers and bottles on the grounds. lesson plans and information that will be posted on the kiosks, and there is a concern that once that information is posted it could be vandalized too, she said. The wetland was a nice place, but it was sad seeing the signs vandalized, said Jackie Kremer, 11, of Wilder, a member of the science camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure why people do that,â&#x20AC;? Kremer said. The educational signs were hard to read, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They scraped off what was originally on them,â&#x20AC;? Kremer said. Olivia Whaley, 11, of Independence, said she got to see box elder trees, poison ivy and vandalism during their trip through the wetland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought it was disrespectful because they had just put the boards in,â&#x20AC;?

Swim club turns 50

The Fort Thomas Swim Club celebrates its 50th birthday this year, with an eight- to 10-year waiting list has grown to 475 people. The non-profit pool at 48 James Ave. is limited to 525 members because of its size, said Janet Ball, pool manager. Members rarely relinquish their membership, she said. The pool has five original members. "I'm delighted it's still around," said Jo Ann Foureman, who has been a member since the first year. "It is the pleasure

of my life. I love to come here. I like the people. It has become a social center. I don't want people to have to wait so long to get in, but I'm glad it's thriving." For information on the swim club's waiting list, call 859-4410112. - Kentucky News Service

Lakeside Terrace to stay senior housing

Campbell County officials this month announced that the 40-year-old Lakeside Terrace senior citizen apartment building will remain an apartment complex for at least two years. Campbell County in August will pay off the mortgage for the seven-story building in Highland Heights. The county has made monthly mortgage payments of $6,000. The future of the building after two years, however, remains uncertain. The facility has a contract with the Kentucky Housing Corporation to offer subsidies until June 30, 2011. The county would then have to give a year's notice to vacate the building should it choose that option, said Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery. - Kentucky News Service

School starts back with flashy fun By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Cline Elementary School is preparing to roll out a red carpet to welcome students and parents back to school with a Hollywood star treatment. Cline’s 6:30-7:30 p.m. Aug. 6 Hollywood-themed open house, albeit one of the flashiest, is one of many open houses and orientations in schools around the district in the run-up to the return of students Aug. 10. Grant’s Lick Elementary School’s Aug. 6 open house is also an outdoor celebration billed as “Party in the Playground.” Grant’s Lick students will have the chance to eat cotton candy, hot dogs and ice balls and parents will receive information about everything from bus routes to classroom guides. When children and parents show up to the Cline open house, funded by the Parent Teacher Organization, they’ll be greeted by a tuxedo-wearing janitor opening car doors at the entrance to the red carpet. Students will be handed starshaped glasses, and Principal Lynn Poe and others are planning to be dressed to match the glamour of the event. “Our theme this year is rolling out the red carpet for our star panthers,” said Lynn Poe, Cline’s principal. “It’s kind of a Hollywood theme.” The theme celebrates the students’ achievement last year of raising the school-wide index score on the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System

from 90.3 in 2008 to 106.1 in 2009. Students will be celebrated as stars on bulletin boards this year, and there will be special incentives for students who do exceptionally well and later in the year teachers will receive trophies similar to ones handed out at the Emmy Awards. The open house, funded by the school’s Parent Teacher Organization, will also include painted stars on the sidewalk that the students can decorate in silver paint with their names. The open house is also a literacy event where children will receive movie-houseinspired red and white striped book bags with the slogan “Pop open a good book.” The children will also have the chance to visit booths to earn prizes including star erasers, pencils and bookmarks while their parents have the opportunity to speak with teachers and school administrators. “The students think it’s fun, but it’s motivating, and what it’s really stressing is reading, parents reading to children, and children being excited about coming back to school,” Poe said. Over the summer there’s also been work to ready the district’s school buildings including new blacktop that is just now being installed around the middle school and high school, said Juli Hale, director of community relations for Campbell County Schools. “Our buildings are ready, and all we need are the students,” Hale said.

Free meals eligibility curbs fees costs By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

School officials are reminding parents that successfully applying for federal free or reduced meals programs will also save on school fee costs. Parents eligible for free or reduced breakfast and lunches can have many of yearly student school fees either waived entirely or reduced. The amounts of student fees vary by school and grade levels, but schools work with parents on how to pay, said Juli Hale, the district’s director of community relations. And families seeking assistance in other areas including with clothing and bills can find help through their school’s Family Resource Center or Youth Resource Center staff, Hale said. At Crossroads Elementary School in Cold Spring there is a blanket $40 annual student fee that pays for classroom materials including math workbooks. The fee drops to $16 if a student qualifies for reduced meals, and there no cost if the student is eligible for free meals. The minimum student fee at Campbell County High School is $155. The fee covers almost everything students use in class

ranging from ink cartridges for printers, copy paper and the specimens they dissect in a biology class, said Sally McNichols, who collects the student fee and is the principal’s secretary. “If they’re on free lunch the fees are waived, if they’re on reduced lunch we waive 60 percent of it,” McNichols said. This year the school will accept credit card payments for the first time, and the school has always worked with parents if they want to set up a payment plan, McNichols said. “We try to make it as easy as possible,” she said. While many families are very proud and don’t want to take any kind of assistance, everything is very confidential, Hale said. “We understand that many more of our families are qualifying for free and reduced lunch than in the past,” Hale said. “They should take advantage of it.” It’s even against the law to identify a student as being on free or reduced lunch, said Victor Steffen, food service director for the district. “Back in the old days they used to have tickets, so thank goodness those days are gone,” Steffen said. In years past students were given meal tickets that identified them, but now when a student

Forms to register for free or reduced federal breakfast and lunch programs complete with household size and income requirements are available at the Campbell County Schools Web site at www.campbellcountyschools.org/main /parents/menu.php. Breakfasts are served before school from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. at the high school and middle school, and from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at the elementary schools. The first day for students is Aug. 10. goes through the line a personal identification code is punched into a computer and no person can tell if a student’s parents pre-paid or otherwise. “What we say to the child is you’re already paid,” Steffen said. “Even the child doesn’t know the difference.” Students who were eligible for free or reduced lunches at the end of last school year will automatically qualify for the same benefits for the first 30 days of school until new applications can be submitted, he said. As the economy worsened last school year more and more students progressively ate free or reduced meals, Steffen said. The percentage of the 4,931 enrolled students in the district eating free or reduced meals went up from 21 percent in August 2008 to 36 percent in May 2009. “And I’m looking for it to go higher this year,” Steffen said.

Bluebirds can be green too By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com Highlands High School’s color may be blue, but many students think green is pretty important too. In 2007 students formed the Green Club to address the lack of recycling at the school, and the group is still growing and going strong. “We are very proud of the program, and it is in our school improvement plan as something to continue and improve,” said Principal Brian Robinson. Since starting two years ago, the group has made and distributed boxes for in-class recycling of paper, bottles and cans, which they later collect. The group has also participated in various “green” events and programs throughout the city, said Laura Brown, a teacher at HHS who serves as an advisor to the group

with teacher Nancy Bardgett. “The Green Club continues its efforts with plans to improve recycling at football games and to plant a tree in Fort Thomas,” Brown said. Some of the members have also joined Fort Thomas’s Go Green organization to help with various city projects, Nancy Bardgett said. “Most recently some of our members assisted with the Go Green’s float in the Fourth of July parade and walked with them,” Bardgett said. Other students and teachers, like Colleen Epperson’s AP environmental science class, have also gotten involved in the cause, looking at ways to conserve energy, said Robinson. “The is really a collaborative effort with many groups of students that we hope to continue,” Robinson said.

Colts race into Knothole city tourney By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Colts Knothole baseball team carries the same dark blue color and horseshoe logo as the Indianapolis Colts NFL football team. Head coach Randy Brewer hopes the team can reach the same success that team has enjoyed in recent years by winning the Greater Cincinnati city championship. The Colts entered the Division 2, Class B-Junior city tournament finals with a 17-4 record. After a first-round game July 25, the team was scheduled to play July 28 and then possibly July 30. The championship games are Saturday, Aug. 1 at the Crosley Field Complex in Blue Ash, Ohio. The team is comprised of players from St. Joseph’s in Cold Spring and Campbell County Middle School in Alexandria. Players are Gabe Roberts, Kyle Becker, Justin Heil, Matteo Morrison, Grant Schilling, Jake Flairty, Nick Dierig, Jake Wieland, Brent Brocker, Matt Striegel and Jon Henn. Assistant coaches are

Anton Striegel and Tim Henn. They are in the overall city finals for the first time after finishing as Northern Kentucky regional runner-up last year. “Chemistry has played a big role for us,” Brewer said. “They’re all good friends. We have good leaders, good contributors, and kids happy to do whatever they have to do to help the team. We have the right number of guys in the right places.” Brewer has managed the team since founding it in 2003. Five of the current Colts have been with the team since then. The NFL look evolved from Brewer wanting to honor Kentucky traditions. He began with the University of Kentucky blue color, then wanted to incorporate horses into the team name. Not wanting to copy the Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds, the team decided on Colts and eventually adopted the Indy team’s logo. “It’s cool because when they see a Colts game when they’re older, they’ll think of their baseball team growing up,” Brewer said.

Legion of players make first trip to city finals By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Sid Bravard said balance has been the key for his Knothole baseball team as they made their first trip into the final four of the Greater Cincinnati Division 2 championships. Bravard’s American Legion team entered the C-Junior city

tournament finals with a 22-2 record. After a first-round game July 25, the team was scheduled to play July 28. The championship games are Saturday, Aug. 1 at the Crosley Field Complex in Blue Ash, Ohio. “Last year we came in third in the regional,” Bravard said. “We’re kind of an all-around team, a little bit of everything. We

hit it decently, field it decently, we’re just fundamentally sound all the way around.” The team, from District 22, is comprised of 10-year-olds, one from Bellevue and the rest from Newport. “We never quit and we have good baserunning,” Bravard said. “We never give up when we’re down, and we’re coming through

in close games. Most of the games in the regional were really close and we pulled it out in the very end.” Bravard, assisted by John McDaniel, has been a head coach of the team for two years after assisting for two. He also coaches many of the boys in football and basketball. “I’ve been around these kids a

lot,” he said. “They’re more than players, they’re friends, so I definitely enjoy it.” Players are Noah Billings, Tommy Smith, Drew Bravard, Derek Wilkening, Alex Runion, Michael Chaffin, Braden Posey, Jonathon Thomas, Brett Clark, Jalen McDaniel, Tommy Spicer, and Logan Lawson.

Students caught up in fun of shooting By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Trap shooting is a sport people of all ages can excel in. For the 11th year, a group of young people are taking part in the Northern Kentucky Scholastic Trap Shooting. About 56 Northern Kentucky students participated in a state championship tournament June 30 in Berea, Ky. It was part of the National Scholastic Trap Shooting Program for college students and younger. Locals have the opportunity to qualify for the national tournament in Illinois in July. “It’s fun,” said David Abell, an incoming sophomore at Simon Kenton High School. “We’re shooting with people we know and it’s a good time. You meet new people and do new things.” The team, which practices at outdoor clubs in Alexandria and Kenton, has students from all over Northern Kentucky. In trap shooting, competitors use shotguns to break a four-inch clay target going 40 miles an hour

to break all 100 targets. The best shooters on the local team often score in the 90s and occasionally a perfect 100. In the state competition, shooters are in five-person teams, competing in different age levels. Many kids join the program as soon they’re big enough to handle the guns. Nine-year old Kyle Hounshell is the youngest team member. “I’ve seen kids come in at 10 years old and guys who are 90 sitting in a wheelchair and shooting,” said Taylor Bisig of Flo-

I think it’s cool that anybody can do it.” Dennis Menning, the team’s head coach, said learning responsibility is a major goal of the program. Safely handling the guns is a high priority in his teaching, and the mental focus required to excel in the sport can carry over to other facets of life. “It is a physical and mental game all in one,” Menning said. “When you are out there shooting, it is all up to the shooter to keep his head in the game. If you miss a target you have to forget about it and get prepared for the next target and try not to make the same mistake again.” A lot of the shooters don’t play sports at their schools and enjoy sharing in a competitive outlet. “Everyone likes the same sport here,” Bisig said. “We’ll talk about the same things. There is no rivalry between schools.”

Ozone: one gas, many layers Ozone is very much a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde case. It is simply a gas, with the same scientific make-up at all times. However, its location in the atmosphere causes it to take on very different properties. The results are either very helpful or very harmful to health and the environment. The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) wants the region’s two million citizens to know why ozone gas is a big concern. First, there is the Dr. Jekyll of ozone: stratospheric ozone. This could also be known as the “good” type of ozone. Found anywhere from six to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface, stratospheric ozone acts as a natural shield, protecting earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This type of ozone is imperative for life on earth. Unfortunately, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels of the stratospheric ozone have been depleted and have caused a variety of problems including an increase in health concerns such as skin cancer, and environmental concerns such as crop depletion. With stratospheric ozone, preservation and protection are key, unlike its counterpart. Although the other type ozone has the exact same chemical makeup, the Mr. Hyde of ozone has a different effect on the environment. This form of ozone is known as ground-level ozone. As the name suggests, this it is found in the air closest to the Earth’s surface. Ground-level ozone is one of the main components in smog, a harmful kind of air pollution. Smog is created through chemical reactions when emissions, such as those from vehicles and industry, react with sunlight or heat, making this a major problem during the summer. Smog poses a serious risk to both humans and the environment. Research from the EPA has shown it can decrease the lungs’ working capacity, causing short-

ness of breath, wheezing, chest pain and coughing. It can also cause eye and nose irritation and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. Long Emily term exposure to Feldman smog can permascar lung Community nently tissue and lead to Press guest e m p h y s e m a , columnist bronchitis and asthma. Furthermore, ground-level ozone is harmful to the environment because it damages crops, trees and other vegetation. Because of their harmful effects, ground-level ozone and smog are monitored throughout the Greater Cincinnati region. When high levels of ozone are expected in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals. During the warmer months, it is important to pay attention to local media outlets to find out when a smog alert is in effect. Those who have an increased interest can also call 1-800-621-SMOG to sign up for smog alert notification when an alert is issued. There are things everyone can do to protect the region from pollution before a smog alert is issued. OKI outlines many simple changes that can help cut down on the harmful emissions that lead to ground-level ozone and smog. Some of these tips include carpooling, riding a bike or walking, refueling and using gasoline-powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m., maintaining vehicles, conserving electricity and spreading the word to others. More information and additional tips to reduce air pollution can be found by visiting www.DoYourShare.org or by calling 1-800621-SMOG (7664). Emily Feldman is a clean air assistant at the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Are you worried about a possible worsening of the swine flu pandemic this fall and winter? Why or why not?

“No. I am not worried. H1N1 should not be worse than any other strain. And they should have a vaccine soon.” J.B. “I am not worried but that doesn’t mean I won’t get the virus. I am eating more pork to build up some resistance.” G.G. “I am both concerned and worried as well we all should be. The World Health Organization is, too, and when a vaccine is finally here the United States may not have enough to go around. It will be interesting to see what happens when schools are back in session and an outbreak occurs. Everyone better get educated about the disease. I don’t see much about it in the papers. Guess they don’t want us to panic!” Duke

Next question: What do you like and dislike about the health care proposals currently before Congress? Send your response to kynews@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “Honestly, I’m not worried about a possible worsening of the swine flu this fall and winter, because worrying won’t do a darn thing to avert the crisis, if indeed it does happen, though I hope it doesn’t. “I’m more worried about the damage being done to the structures of our country, like banking, the auto industry, and health care, by an ambitious narcissist who has no idea of the long-term negative effects that his unchecked meddling will produce.” Bill B.

Heath care conversations

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell discusses health care reform with U.S. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) July 22 in the U.S. Capitol. During the press conference, Senator McConnell addressed the need to create a bipartisan plan for health care reform that will increase access, decrease costs, and guarantee no one would be forced to give up the care they currently have.

Financial scams: special alert The Office of the Attorney General, Jack Conway, has recently issued a warning about the “Latest Scams Target Out-of-work Kentuckians.” Many of us see and read these types of articles and do not believe they will happen to us or that they do not affect people in our area. This is not the case. On July 21 a gentleman came into the office to inquire about information he had received in the mail along with a check for several thousand dollars. He was asked to place the check into his account and was then directed to send the company a cashier's check for insurance to solidify the transaction. The letter informed him that he would automatically have over $1,000 clear from the transaction and that additional funds would be forthcoming in amounts up to $250,000 for his participation in these types of transactions. This instance was a direct example of the scams being perpetrated on citizens in Campbell County. Please read below for information to help protect yourself and your family members. There are at least two types of this scam currently being carried out in our area: the “Secret” or “Mystery” shopper and the Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer scams. The “Secret” or “Mystery” shopper scam particularly targets out of work Kentuckians. In this scam they target jobseekers through newspaper ads, internet job sites, direct mailings or e-mails and online job postings. Victims are told they have been chosen to serve as a customer service representative and perform secret shopper duties. They will then receive an instruction sheet and a check for a large amount of money, usually several thousand dollars. The victim is told to act quickly to deposit the check into their bank account and then wire the funds, using Western Union or another service to a specified location, usually out of state or out of the country. The victim is then asked to evaluate their experience at the wiring service and send back the evaluation form to the “employer.” In return the victim is directed to keep a portion of the

money from the original check. What the victim does not know is the check is counterfeit and the victim will be held liable for the funds, thereby James A. losing the money Daley they sent. The victim will also be Community held responsible Recorder for any overdraft guest fees that may columnist occur as a result of the large withdrawal. In the Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer scam, scammers use software installed on a victim's computer, through an attachment on an email, to gain access to the victim's online banking system. The scammers then transfer money out of the victim's account and into the account of a consumer, who believes they have been hired as a secret shopper. The consumer is then told to wire the funds to a specified location, keeping a small stipend as compensation. In these scenarios, money from the victim replaces the counterfeit check, with the end result of the consumer wiring stolen money to the scammers. The following tips can help consumers from falling victim to these types of scams: • Treat the money you wire the same as cash. Once money is wired it is unrecoverable. Only wire money to trusted family and friends. • Never pay a company to hire you, no matter whether they require you to send money in the form of purchasing training materials, becoming certified, or some other manner. If a prospective employer is requesting money, it is probably a scam. • Only open e-mails from people you know and delete any emails that look suspicious. Even opening a spam e-mail can install malware or a virus on your computer. • Investigate mystery shopper agencies before you commit. Any-

Fort Thomas resident Harless Warf knows firsthand that it’s never to late to follow your dreams. Warf said he had always thought about writing something, but never got around to it. Recently Warf, who will turn 81 next month, published his first book, “Short Stories & Poems to Ponder.” “I didn’t really start writing anything until I was 75,” Warf said. “But I had a story or two to tell.” The book is made up of fictional pieces and pieces based on events in Warf’s life, which began in a coal mining town in West Virginia and led him across the country with the military and various jobs. “He has just had such an interesting life, and I love hearing his stories,” said Warf’s wife Carol. “I grew up in Fort Thomas, so we had totally different backgrounds and experiences growing up.” Warf said besides sharing his stories, his hope in publishing the book was to inspire others. “There are a lot of people out there with something to say, and I’m proof that they can do it,” Warf said. “You

Adults are making a ‘Big’ difference for students As the summer comes to an end and children get ready to go back to school, some students will come to class with all the tools they need to succeed. Others are not as fortunate, lacking in things like self-confidence and a positive attitude. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati is looking for volunteers to help some of these children develop the skills and attitude that will allow them to be successful. These are young people who need a positive adult role model in their lives. The agency is creating a new program at Fourth Street Elementary in Newport. The mentoring program there will focus on second-, third-, and fourthgraders. It's an after-school program, in which volunteers will be matched oneon-one with a child, and they'll all meet in a group setting.

sign up more kids to be “Little Brothers” and “Little Sisters,” so the agency needs more “Bigs” to serve as mentors. At Crossroads,

volunteers can come anytime during the school day. They play games with their “Little,” talk or draw, just come up with things they like to do together. These programs are not about tutoring, although sometimes Bigs do help Littles with schoolwork. Rather this is about giving the children someone to talk to and laugh with, someone to lead by example. Studies prove that a social mentoring relationship impacts a child's self esteem, which directly affects performance in school. Big Brothers Big Sisters school-based programs focus on 40 developmental assets, the qualities that help kids succeed. There is a curriculum developed to work with children to promote positive attitudes and behaviors. Fortunately for the kids, all they really recognize is that they're enjoying time with an adult, who's making time for them. Call Big Brothers Big Sister of Greater Cincinnati at 513-421-4120.

Life

Summertime and the living is … ? I wouldn’t be surprised if Psalm 23 was written in summertime. You know how it goes, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he refreshes my soul.” Summer invites tranquility, feeling at one with nature, choosing some positive and relaxing times in our lives. Here are some of the lessons of summer. Slow down: “There is more to life than increasing its speed,” said Gandhi. Most of us moderns feel obsessively driven. We stay on the treadmill all year long. We fear the silence of solitude or experience a certain personal guilt if our list of expectations isn’t accomplished immediately. Contemplative monk Thomas Merton considered excessive busy-

ness a way of doing violence to ourselves, “There is a pervasive form of contemporary violence … and that is activism and overwork. The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace.” Summertime is freneticisms antidote. It’s the time for which hammocks and lawn chairs were made, bicycles, tree-lined walking paths, picnic baskets and the song lyrics “slow down, you move too fast, you gotta make the morning last.” Notice: St. Benedict, the monk

who founded the Benedictine Order, had a novel approach to help his novices live in the present moment – which is the only place we really live. During their novitiate he asked them to temporarily take a special vow – Fidelity To The Present Moment. It meant a deliberate, concentrated giving of attention to what is immediately before you. “Age quod agis,” in Latin, “Do what you are doing.” He wanted them to notice and feel even the mundane. If washing dishes, notice the look and feel of the swirling soapy water, the sound, the smoothness, the comforting circular motion of their hand. This vow of attention required them to let go of the tendency of trying to do multiple things at once

(no praise for multitaskers), of acting thoughtlessly, or to live in the past and worry over the future. The present moment has a fullness all its own. Take off your shoes: Literally and figuratively summer says “Take off your shoes and walk in the grass, feel the earth on which you live, take a deep breath. Life’s too short for tight shoes. Loosen up and stop frowning. Touch the earth, the trees and flowers. At least for awhile resign as General Manager of The Universe.” Many burdens we carry are not even ours to carry. Summertime says “Take that load off your shoulders and let me refresh you.” Enjoy: That’s what the table server says as he or she places our food before us, “Enjoy!” We like the invitation. God says the same

thing as he spreads before us the smorgasbord of life that Genesis says he found so good. One of my favorite prayers in a Sunday Father Lou Mass says: Guntzelman “Lord, open our eyes to see Perspectives your hand at work in the splendor of creation and in the beauty of human life. Touched by your hand, our world is holy. Help us to cherish the gifts that surround us, to share your blessings with our brothers and sisters, and to experience the joy of life in your presence.” To which I say a great, “Amen!” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Make sure debt is yours before you pay it During these tough economic times many people are faced with unpaid debts. In addition to bills you truly owe, you may also be hit with collection letters from companies who just hope you’ll pay. Some of these are socalled Zombie debts, those more than seven years old that have been sold to debt collection companies. Such bills often don’t belong to you, but are sent anyway because so many years have gone by and people have moved. Nancy Beasley of

Sharonville got such a bill for a debt dating back to 1994. “I went to the Web site of the bill collection company and there’s no Web site listed. All I found were links to complaints,” she said. This bill collector wanted Beasley to pay more than $2,000, for a bill belonging to a company of which she never heard. “So I called the company and told them and they said they would erase the debt. I just want other people to be aware of these letters coming out,” Beasley said.

Clara E. Martin of Anderson Township also got a collection letter for a debt that’s four years old. It was for an unpaid parking lot fee. But, upon close examination she found the license number for the car listed never belonged to her. “If they had the correct license number then I would say, ‘Well, this could possibly be something legitimate.’ But it’s not,” she said. Although she wrote the bill collector and disputed the bill, it didn’t seem to make any difference. “Just recently I received

another letter from them. This letter is not different than the first one, so this is not in response to what I wrote,” Martin said. So I told Martin to send another letter to the bill collector saying she doesn’t owe the debt – and send the letter by registered mail so they have to sign for it. That way you have proof they received it. She did that and has not heard from them again. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act you need to send such a letter to protect your rights.

If you feel the debt is not yours, tell the bill collector in Howard Ain writing to Hey Howard! provide proof it belongs to you. Do not admit the debt is yours unless you are sure. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer questions weekdays at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on WKRC-TV Local 12. Write to him at 12 WKRC-TV, 1906 Highland Ave., Cincinnati 45219.

Chocolate ’chips’ in to elevate zucchini bread

I’ve been picking my Italian round zucchini, my Lebanese zucchini and my regular zucchini every day. I ’ l l m a k e stuffed zucchini for supper tonight Rita and if I Heikenfeld have time, a chocoRita s kitchen late zucc h i n i bread. I wanted to share that recipe since it’s a little different than the norm.

Chocolate zucchini bread/cake

From an anonymous reader. I haven’t tried this yet but it looks delicious. Let me know how you like it. It’s a cross between a bread and a cake, so either name is appropriate. 1

1 ⁄2 cups shredded zucchini 1 cup flour 1 ⁄2 cup unsweetened

Salt and pepper to taste

cocoa powder, sifted 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄4 teaspoon baking powder 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 ⁄4 teaspoon allspice 1 ⁄2 cup canola oil 1 ⁄2 cup sugar 1 ⁄2 cup light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 ⁄4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9-by-5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended and fold in zucchini. Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chips. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling.

Topping: 1 cup bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese mixed Butter or substitute Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Two unusual zucchini: Lebanese and Italian round.

Mary Simon’s Catalina dip

From Rose Kutschbach – her mom’s recipe, an alltime favorite. “Mom passed away in ’95 but memories will always be there for us,” she told me. Well said! 1 pound cream cheese, softened 16 oz. Catalina salad dressing Garlic salt to taste

Mix with mixer until smooth and creamy, but thick consistency. Use vegetables, crackers, chips or pretzels for dipping.

Baked pasta and chicken

I made this for the grandkids and they (and the adults) loved it. 2 cups whole wheat or regular pastina (or any short pasta) Olive oil 2 chicken breasts, cut up – a good 3 cups or so 1 nice onion, chopped – about 11⁄2 cups 2-3 teaspoons garlic or bit more to taste 28 oz. diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups mozzarella Parsley, chopped

Cook pasta until just tender, about five minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, film bottom of pan with olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for a couple of minutes. Add onions and garlic, stirring to combine, and cook until onions are soft and chicken is cooked, about five minutes. Put into bowl with pasta. Add tomatoes, mozzarella, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Put in sprayed casserole. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top, dot with small bits of butter. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

*Water vs. Juice for kids in sports: For Bill, a Northeast Suburban Life reader,

whose kids are playing sports. Hydration is paramount. If an activity lasts less than one hour, water is fine. If it lasts 60 to 90 minutes or longer, a 6 to 8 percent carbohydrate sports drink or diluted fruit juice (to dilute juice from concentrate – and try to use 100 percent juice – use at least twice the water recommended) is good. * Information from “The Official Snack Guide for Beleaguered Sports Parents” which yours truly, along with three talented colleagues, wrote!

AMC Entertainment and the Autism Society are excited to offer two Sensory Friendly Films: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on July 25, and G-Force on Aug. 1. Both films start at 10 a.m. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disability that affects a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to communicate and interact with others. It often comes with sensory challenges, such as hypersensitivity to light or sound, and children or adults affected by autism may not understand the social boundaries of movie theatre etiquette, such as not talking during the film or sitting still through most of the show. In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for children with autism or other special needs, AMC movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, caseinfree snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be

shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in other words, AMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silence is Goldenâ&#x20AC;? policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned. Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event.

The Theis family after finishing the Firecracker 5000 sponsored by Campbell County YMCA July 4. From left to right: Bill, Robert, Susie, Jean.

Robert was the winner on this course, but his father is challenging him to a longer race.

When more than 350 people line up behind the start line Aug. 9 to begin the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired’s Spring Light 5K, about a dozen Northern Kentucky University Delta Gamma members will be among them. Actually not all of the sorority sisters there that day will be there to race. Some will be volunteering. And Whitney Monroe, a recent graduate, has been spending her summer as an intern at the agency coordinating the entire event. It’s a long tradition for the NKU sorority, whose members have been donating time and money to CABVI for many years. Nationally, Service for Sight is Delta Gamma Foundation’s charity and the local chapter looks for opportunities to help organizations that serve people who are

blind or visually impaired. For Annie Donnellon, the relationship is a personal one. A senior at NKU majoring in vocal performance with a minor in Spanish, it was CABVI that first inspired her love for singing. Born with an underdeveloped optic nerve, Donnellon has been involved with the agency almost since the time she began taking her first steps. CABVI’s music therapists encourage and help develop talent in young people who are blind or visually impaired. By the time Donnellon was 7, she was already performing and today she performs in school choirs and more. She has been singing the national anthem at CABVI’s Spring Light 5K since its beginning. More than 350 other walkers and runners – with and without vision impair-

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

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.
