Crestview Hills is on the lookout for a new city administrator. Nine months after hiring former Florence Community Development Director/Assistant City Coordinator Rick Lunnemann, council will have to go back to the drawing board. Lunnemann resigned after Florence Mayor Diane Whalen offered the position of Florence City Coordinator to Lunnemann after current Florence administrator Pat Wingo announced her retirement. Lunnemann’s last day with Crestview Hills will be Aug. 4. Lunnemann, who worked for Florence 17 years, said his heart told him it was the right thing to do. “When Mayor Whalen approached me about returning to Florence as city coordinator I felt like it was an opportunity I just could not say ‘No’ to,” he said. Crestview Hills Mayor Paul Meier said he’s “disappointed” Lunnemann is leaving, but added he and council understand his point of view. “We know that his heart for years has been in Florence,” he said. Several candidates who applied for the position last year have already contacted the mayor expressing interest in the job. Currently, the personnel committee plan to interview the candidates who contacted the mayor and go from there, Sommerkamp said. Other options include going back to the list of 70-80 applicants from last fall as well as starting the search over again. No time table has been set for finding a replacement, Meier said, but Sommerkamp chuckled, saying he’d “like to say tomorrow.” “If we don’t have to go to a complete new search we should hopefully have something between the first and 15 of August,” said vice mayor Frank Sommerkamp.

Fort Mitchell receive grants By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

The Fort Mitchell Police Department announced that they have received three grants, including one that will help put more officers on the street to help with DUI enforcement. Police Chief and city administrator Steve Hensley said the $11,613 grant is part of the Traffic Alcohol Enforcement Program through the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet of Kentucky. “That will allow us to have additional officers on the street

monitoring things, at no cost to the city,” said Hensley. He said the Cabinet also issued another $7,500 grant to the city to help pay for newer in-car video cameras for the police cruisers. That grant required a 25 percent match from the city, but will help with the purchase of at least two more cameras, which Hensley said cost around $4,000 each. To help purchase more cameras, the city also received a $3,000 safety grant from the Kentucky League of Cities, which Hensley said will the city matched in order to install more cameras.

He said the department would like to replace at least two cameras each year to keep them up to date, rather than waiting to have one big expense if they all need to be replaced at once. “We want to take a staggered approach to replacing them, because that makes more financial sense in the long run,” he said. “Certainly, getting grants like this helps, and we’re very grateful for them.” The next council meeting is scheduled for July 20 at 7 p.m. For more information, contact the city at 331-1212.

When Glenna Edwards asked her youngest son about his artwork last year, she never imagined where it would take her. “I noticed Ben was drawing all kinds of rainbows, so I asked him why,” she recalled. “He told me that the rainbows were where his Mamaw was sleeping now, and that’s when this all began.” “This” is the publishing of Edwards’ first book, entitled “Rainbow Bed: A Child’s Perspective on Coping with Grief.” An Edgewood resident, Edwards’ idea for the book came from observing her children, as well as her niece and nephews, following the deaths of her moth-

er and sister-in-law within five weeks of each other last year. “Everyone deals with death in their own way, but there’s not really a whole lot out there about how children go through this process,” she explained. “They grieve a lot differently than adults, so I wanted to really explore that so it could help other parents and children in the future.” Written and illustrated in the style in which a 5-year old might write, Edwards’ book follows a young boy as he watches his grandmother become ill and eventually pass away. The books also details the young boy’s feelings as he watches his grandmother receive care, and then his thoughts after she passes away.

Edwards, who held a book signing in late June at Borders in Crestview Hills, said the book has received overwhelmingly positive responses. “People were coming up to me and telling me stories that had me in tears,” she said. “To know that maybe this story has helped some families through a tough time is so special to me, and it really has helped me to know that something positive has come out of such a difficult time for my family.” Edwards also said the book process helped her in her own grieving process. “I felt like this was just meant to be- that it was something I had to do,” she said. “I had always dreamed of being an author, so I

think it was very fitting that it was my family who helped me to launch that dream and turn a tough period in my life into something positive.” That something positive doesn’t stop with the book’s powerful message however. Edwards has also announced that half of the book’s proceeds will go toward cancer research. “I want this book to serve as a way of continually giving back,” she said. “This is a way of keeping the memory alive of my mother and sister-in-law, and it’s been really special for me to be able to do that.” The book is available at the Borders store, Amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com.

Governor signs housing bill By Jason Brubaker

chase a newly built home to receive up to a $5,000 tax credit if they meet qualifications. “Owning a home is really a rite of passage for many people, and this is something that we hope will allow them to achieve that dream,” said Beshear. “This are tough times, but this is a step toward helping people out as we look to move forward.” Under the regulations of the bill, the home must never have been occupied, and the buyer has one week from the closing date to submit a credit application for the tax credit. The buyer must occupy the home for two years, and can’t already have received the federal first-time home buyer tax credit. The program will run for one year, or until the $25 million cap is reached.

Kentucky Rep.

Steve Beshear for the bill signing at a newly built BOLD home on Buckhill Drive. The bill, which will go into effect on July 26, will allow Kentuckians who pur-

Michael Rodriguez, his mother Anne and sister Irene have recently opened the Cuba Café on Madison Street in Covington. While the cafe serves authentic Cuban cuisine that is more spicy than hot, the restaurant is happy to provide hot sauce to customers who like a little more heat. and sister Irene are running the Cuba Café from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Food prices range from 85 cents to $16 for a fami-

Willie Rodriguez wants to introduce Northern Kentucky to authentic Cuban cuisine. Cuba Café , located at 630 Madison Avenue in the Wedding Mall, hits customers with a wall of good smells as soon as the door is opened. “It’s all about the seasoning,” said Rodriguez, who immigrated from Cuba with his parents at the age of six. Rodriguez said Cubans spice their chicken, pork and steak with a combination of cumin, oregano, garlic and more. Rodriguez’s mother Anna is the chef of the family and the restaurant, making food from scratch each day and seasoning meat with her own special recipe. “I love our food,” he said. “Cubans are so attached to our food and coffee. You either eat it or talk about it every day.” Rodriguez, his mother

Sister Irene agreed, saying it “never hurts to try something new. If they tried it, they would like it.” During the interview, Rodriguez was interrupted a few times by happy customers. One, Pedro Ramirez Jr., told Rodriguez, “You made me feel like I was in Cuba again.” For more information on the Cuba Café , call 859261-1444.

Students share a laugh as they play a game during the 4H Get Fit class on July 13. The class taught the kids about the importance of healthy eating and staying active.

Students get in shape, learn nutrition at camp By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

With a determined stare and his voice full of confidence, Freedom Phillippe earnestly stepped forward. “Hey - I’ll be the pineapple,” he exclaimed, his words alleviating the growing tension in the group around him. “It’s no big deal for me.” Phillippe is one of the approximately 20 students who participated in the 4H “Get Fit” class July 13-17, as the students learned about exercising, healthy eating and nutrition. The camp was part of the 4H Summer Adventures, sponsored by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Trying to continually drive the message home the entire week, program leaders Karla Thompson

and Julie Rice split the kids into teams for competition purposes, using vegetables and fruits as their team names. “It’s much easier to create habits than break them, so that’s why its so important to have them thinking about healthy eating right now,” explained Thompson. “We want them to learn about making healthy choices, and to start building a foundation for a good lifestyle.” To illustrate their points, Thompson and Rice helped the kids prepare healthy snacks throughout the week. “The goal is to have them putting down the bag of potato chips and going with something like trail mix or some carrot sticks,” said Thompson. “We’re giving them simple ideas they can do themselves.” Even if those ideas are a lit-

tle...different. “I like to eat raw spinach, so I could even put that in my trail mix,” offered Phillippe with a smile, drawing some groans from his classmates. Along with learning about healthy eating, the students were also able to play some old-fashioned games that Thompson said have lost their luster in an age of high-tech electronics and video games. “A lot of kids today have never played with a hula hoop or things like that, so we’re going to teach them some of those kinds of activities,” she said. “The biggest thing is we want them getting off the couch and being active, no matter what game they’re playing.” For more information about future 4H programs, visit www. kentoncountyextension.org.

Camp keeps children learning during summer By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

Dylan Buckingham glanced at his friends, making eye contact with each of them as they anxiously waited the start of the game. “Okay- everyone knows what they’re supposed to do, right?” he asked. “We can win this if we all do our jobs- let’s go!” Just then, the whistle sounded and Dylan sprinted toward the plastic pool in the center of the pavement, which contained a plethora of water balloons. He began launching the balloons toward the other teams, trying in vain to stay behind his team’s shields as the opponents returned fire. “Oh man!” he exclaimed as a balloon burst on his shirt. “This isn’t working!” Buckingham was among the participants of Camp Invention at Hinsdale Elementary, where the students created inventions for various competitions using everyday household products. Among the projects the students worked

on during the week were sailboats using styrofoam containers and shields for the water balloon fight, using cardboard boxes and duct tape. “This is pretty fun,” said Conner Herbert as he put the finishing touches on his shield. “I just hope it works.” “I think we need more tape here so it’s stronger,” pointed out his friend Logan Fedders. “Otherwise, it’s not going to hold up and then we’ll lose and get soaked!” Juli Watkins, the camp director, said the goal of the week is for the students to explore their creative sides with the various experiments and competitions. She said the theme of the week was “Discover”, as the students learned about the Vikings and their travels around the world. “It’s just a fun way for the kids to learn how to do some new things, but also have fun at the same time,” she said. “They really get into it, and it’s just a really fun week.” For more information about Camp Invention, visit www.campinvention.org.

ACO stars aid to growth of the beloved sport By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com

In what started as a backyard and parking lot sensation in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area, the game of Cornhole has grown into a nationwide spectacle. The game’s most recognizable name, Matt Guy, is the sport’s first superstar. “Different cities that I go to, especially ones that I have never been, when I walk in for the first time it is almost like the room stops,” said Alexandria native Matt Guy. “Everybody is like, ‘look it is Matt Guy. Matt Guy is here!’” At every American Cornhole Organization (ACO) sanctioned event, opponents and fans of the sport approach the game’s top player and ask for autographs and request pictures with him. “They come up and tell me that they have been a fan of mine for three or four years and have been watching the videos on the Internet,” Guy said. “I have an absolute blast with it, I think it is the coolest thing in the world that people want to meet me like that.” Guy’s celebrity status has earned other perks; most recently he and his sons started the fireworks at the Reds game July 3. Not only is Guy, 38, the game’s top singles player, he also excels in doubles competition while teaming up with his sons, Bret,

For Guy, a former horseshoe player, the sport came naturally. During the week he doesn’t practice or work on his game. For Fort Wright native Eric

Hinerman, 32, becoming one of the game’s top players (currently ranked No. 6) wasn’t quite as easy. “I thought I was a great backyard player, but once I went to my

first ACO tournament I realized really quickly that a lot more went into it than what meets the eye,” Hinerman said. After getting beat badly in his first few tournaments, Hinerman

practiced at home and trained at the Cheviot Sports Tavern, a favorite among the ACO pros. Eventually, the DIRECTV employee was tough to beat. Even though the sport is growing rapidly with the aid of its star players, Guy and Hinerman cannot afford to be solely professional cornhole pitchers. Guy makes between $15,000to-$20,000 a year playing the game, while Hinerman also “makes a couple thousand.” Guy’s real profession is selling cleaning supplies for Stiegler Supply Co. One day, however, the sport may grow enough to have fulltime professional players. “Me, my sons and my friends that we travel with all talk about how great it would be to do this for a living,” Guy said. “It is just lacking the major sponsor and television. Once it gets to that point then maybe we will see that happen.” ACO President Frank Geers announced July 6 the Monster World Cornhole Championships on Fountain Square in Cincinnati Aug. 29 will feature a $7,500 purse with $2,625 going to the singles champion and $1,125 to the runner-up. The tournament field will be by invitation only with the top 16 players in the ACO can participating in the event.

Academy sends 2 teams to regionals By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com

In a year of being short-handed and injuries, the U13 girls’ soccer team at the Kings Soccer Academy was dealt another blow right before the start of its semifinal match in the 2009 Ohio South State Cup. During warm-ups, goalkeeper Samantha Shoemaker bumped into the goal post, injuring her leg. Shoemaker was rushed to the sidelines and head coach Paulette Rumpke decided that her yearlong starter in goal couldn’t play. That was when Bridgette Hildreth, who hadn’t played or practiced as a goalie for her team, volunteered to fill in for Shoemaker. “That was the turning point for us because everyone was let down and were about to shut down mentally right before the kickoff and they kept it together and came out on top,” Rumpke said. Hildreth ended up with a couple of nice saves in a 1-0 shutout win. The following game, Shoemaker was back in goal for the

finals. The U13 team won that game as well, earning a spot in U.S. Youth Soccer Region II Championships in Sioux Fall, S.D. “This group worked extremely hard and have been very dedicated. I am so proud of them,” Rumpke said. “They have put in a lot of time and a lot of hard work.” Rumpke’s team lost its three games in regional, but her squad, if they stick together, will have a chance to get back to the regional next summer. U13 is the youngest age group that can qualify for the regional tournament. While Rumpke’s team was making their first appearance, Barnard Baker’s U18 team went to the regional for the second consecutive summer in 2009. The U18 squad is made up entirely of high school seniors that have been on the same club team for the past five summers. During that span, the group has participated in three regional tournaments and won the Kentucky State Cup Championship this season. “I think it is a very special group. They have been together

since they were 14, which is really rare in club soccer. For this group, it wasn’t going to a different club or getting exposure for college, it was more about sticking together as a team and accomplishing things together,” Baker said. Many of Baker’s players are moving on to play in college. “This was probably one of my favorite teams that I have ever coached,” said Baker who was been coaching for over 10 years. “They are great players, but even better people and they are going to be very successful wherever they go.” Like the U13 team, Baker’s team lost all three of its regional matches, ending its season. On a another note, the Kings Soccer Academy had a U15 girls’ team and U17 girls’ team finish as a finalists this year in the Kentucky State Cup Championships. The organization also had a U10 girls’ team win the Ohio South State Cup Championship and a U12 girls’ team finish as a finalist in that event this summer.

cer League. “I’m concerned with playing well at the end of the season,” said head coach Roby Stahl. “We’re a little different than some other leagues. 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.”

Library event offers taste of something special

A free Kenton County Public Library card is your key to thousands of dollars in savings. Patrons of the Library tell us that they save as much as $10,000 a year by borrowing materials and attending programs at the library instead of paying for them. These families know that the tax dollars they pay are well worth it. Did you know that only 93 cents per $100 in property goes toward the Kenton County Public Library each year? If your home is worth $100,000, the library receives $93 in property tax. With $93 the library can buy four books, five movies, six compact discs or two Wii games. It would cost at least $93 to attend two concerts, take two computer classes, or attend four music/story

programs for children. Most library users check out more than a few items and attend more than a couple programs each year. Gina Holt In fact, more Community than 2.1 million are Recorder items checked out guest annually. The columnist library offers 4,600 free programs a year and there are more than 580,000 items in the library's collection. The library appreciates its dedicated patrons and the community support it

Elder abuse takes a toll Abuse of persons who are older takes its toll in human suffering, financial loss, and potentially death. The elder population in the United States is predicted to double in size by 2030. Prosecutors from around the nation participated last month in the Prosecution of Elder Abuse Cases course to enhance their abilities to do justice by protecting victims and holding offenders accountable. Assistant Kenton County Prosecutor, Miranda Holbrook , attended the course. Holbrook is currently assigned to the juvenile and family court division at the Kenton County Attorney’s Office. The course training was developed by national experts to increase awareness of elder maltreatment, build skills to promote victim safety and capability to participate in the legal system, improve pre-trial and trial skills for the participants, and facilitate the administration of justice. The training was held June 911 at the Ernest F. Hollings National Advocacy Center in Columbia, S.C., and sponsored by the National College of District Attorneys, the education division of the National District Attorneys Association. This course is one piece of a national initiative from the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to train prosecutors from grantee jurisdictions. In separate training tracks, judges, law enforcement officers, victim advocates, and adult protective service workers are all being offered training through OVW-funded programs. The topics of the training included an overview of elder abuse, forms of elder abuse and potential charges, discussion of

m a n d a t o r y reporters, common medical issues, capacity and decisionmaking, ethics and professionalism, typical perpetrator justifications, evidentiary issues, interviewing the elder victims or witnesses, trial issues, sentencing options and strategies, and the prosecutor’s role in combating elder abuse and neglect. Elder maltreatment is a serious problem. Over 500,000 elderly people are abused in the United States each year. For every single reported incident, five more go unreported. Types of elder abuse include physical abuse, exploitation, neglect, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse We need, as a community, to recognize elder abuse as a crime, just like child abuse. Child abuse, 20 years ago, was not reported and prosecuted either. Fortunately, Kentucky ’s adult protective laws provide for timely response to complaints of abuse, neglect, and exploitation to our elder population. Crimes against the elderly can be committed by family and friends, as well as in the care of professional agencies that we trust to take care of our loved ones. To report Elder Abuse or to find more information, call either the 24-hour Hotline at 1-800752-6200 or the Adult Protective Services in Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties at 859-2926340. Feel free to contact our office with any questions or for more information on the signs and risks of elder abuse 491-0600. Garry Edmonson is Kenton County attorney.

Schickel reviews special session Although it took a bit longer than planned, the House and Senate finally came to an agreement June 24 to reduce and balance the state budget and lay the groundwork for future economic development across the commonwealth, as the eight-day special session called by the governor adjourned. Much of what emerged from the final compromise reflected what we in the Senate passed, including the bulk of our budget savings. Higher education and Medicaid will be protected, while prosecutors will see small increases to offset the steep cuts that have affected their ability to serve our criminal justice system properly. As a former police officer, I am convinced that prosecutors must have the resources they need to protect the public from dangerous criminals. We were also able to protect county PVAs from cuts, because those offices are the lynchpin of local government revenues. Both House Bill 3 and House Bill 4 included broad visions and targeted incentives for a wealth of economic opportunities. The most high-profile items were the specific programs, intended to lure a NASCAR Sprint Cup event to Kentucky Speedway and the Breeders Cup to Churchill Downs. The success of Kentucky Speedway is

particularly important to us here in Northern Kentucky, as it is part of our community. It is important to note that the economic incenSen. John tive only goes Schickel into effect if the Community track is successful in bringing a Recorder NASCAR Spring guest Cup race to the columnist track. We were also able to give economic incentives to Newport on the Levee as well as the Ovation Project, both of which are vital projects on the shores of the Ohio River. The possibilities for small businesses and ordinary taxpayers go far beyond the headlines, though. There are incentives for homebuyers and car buyers to immediately stimulate our economy, enticements to bring the film industry to the Commonwealth, small-business reinvestment, and historic preservation credits, and ways for innovative and creative developers to get projects going through tax-increment financing. Of course, receiving the most publicity during session was the issue of proposed slot machines at our Thoroughbred racetracks. After passing the House, this pro-

posal died in the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee before it reached the Senate floor. Although we did not agree on a resolution, I think everyone understood that our thoroughbred industry is in need of help. This signature industry is of special importance Northern Kentucky, home of Turfway Park. I am committed to the success of the track and our thoroughbred industry. We must continue working to find a solution, which is both respectful of voters and the horse industry. I believe this industry with its wonderful heritage is part of the past, present, and future of our state. They are not asking for a bailout, they are simply asking to be able to compete on a level playing field with surrounding states. The General Assembly will return in January, barring any further calls by the governor for another special session. Until then, I will be working within the Interim Joint Committees to review legislation that will come before the full General Assembly next year. Please don’t hesitate to contact me by calling the Legislative Message Line at 1-800-3727181. I look forward to hearing your questions and comments.

CHATROOM 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? “Unless we clearly would benefit in someway, or it would advance our knowledge in someway, with the fact we do not have the funds. I would have to object to the increased federal spending, which is already out of control. “My hope is that someday both the Republican and Democrat parties will begin to control spending. Excessive taxation leads to destruction of our financial system. “I continue to hope & pray our local township, city and state officials will begin to lead in our objection and bring government back to sanity.” F.J.B. “I remember it like yesterday, I was 12 years old at summer camp in Green Lake, Wisc., we all gathered so excitedly around a very small black and white TV to watch

the first step on the moon. The camp was so primitive I have no idea where they got the TV or power cords to hook it up, but it was such an important event the counselors made sure we all witnessed this. It gave our generation such bright hopes for the future. If a man could ‘walk on the moon’ we could do anything we dreamed to accomplish ourselves. For that wonderful experience, I will be forever grateful.” P.H.S. “I would hope that any return to the moon would be pursued only after the budget is balanced and the national debt is paid off. The International Space Station has already cost $125 billion from various countries. Between that and the recent bailouts I suspect the U.S. could have instead lowered taxes and provided for the legal citizens who need help. Go figure!” T.D.T. “It was July 21, 1969, and I was finishing up a career step in West Virginia, and preparing to

CATCH A STAR

EMILY TEAFORD/ STAFF

Marty Herbert sits at his desk which is located just inside the Boone County Senior Center.

Herbert all about seniors helping seniors Marty Herbert has dedicated the last 10 years of his life to helping seniors. Herbert has been the director of the Boone County Senior Center since 2005. The center is located at the R.C. Durr YMCA and provides seniors with activities and lunch during the week. “I think it is very important we have a place like this for people to go to when they’re no longer working or are looking to interact with people like them,” Herbert said. Herbert said that he

enjoys working with the seniors because he understands their concerns as a senior himself. “I enjoy interacting with seniors especially anytime we have a new program,” Herbert said. “I wouldn’t ask the people to do (a program) I wouldn’t do or want to do myself so that’s really important to me.” Do you know someone who goes the extra mile in their work or volunteer efforts in Kenton County?

The Kenton County Fair is back in 2009 with a week full of events ranging from pageants, 4-H contests, salsa dancing, demolition derbies and more. The fair will take place July 20-25 at the fairgrounds in Independence, off of Harris or Wehrman roads.

Kenton fair will be funfilled for every taste By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Celebrate this year’s Kenton County Fair July 20-25 with livestock shows, the corn hole classic (enter for just $5) and of course, the demolition derby. “I always view it as a community family reunion,” said Tina Snelling, fair board president. Fair organizers have each day packed with events, a deal that Snelling said can’t be beat. “You can’t even get into a movie for $8 and that lasts two hours. You can come in here and spend a whole

evening for $8,” she said. Events that shouldn’t be missed this year include karaoke hosted by DJ Wanda Kay Thursday evening, the tractor pull Friday and new to the demolition derby this year, the lawn mower derby. Lawn mowers will compete for supremacy between heats of the regular derby, said Allen Jones, vice president of the fair board. “It’s been hitting the scene at other fairs and from what I’ve heard at other places who’s had it that it’s a pretty good show,” Jones said. “It’s going to be pretty fun.” It’s important for people to come

out to their county fair to help preserve agricultural heritage, Jones said, stressing that fair organizers have worked hard to incorporate a variety of activities for county residents. “I would say one of the things we’ve managed to do through the years is to make it as a diverse a fair as possible. “We’re maintaining the agriculture in Kenton County, but at the same time we’re developing new things for people in our urban communities as well,” he said. For a full list of fair activities, visit kentoncountyfair.com. For 4-H information, call 356-6155.

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 chargme, Howard Ain ing 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.

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 flavoring (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 shorten-

ing (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.

Recipe clairfication

District Gov. McEvoy Wellness Community visits local Rotary Club offers wide range of free breast cancer support The Wellness Community of Greater Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky (TWC), a non-profit cancer support agency that provides free and professionally led programs of support, education and hope to people affected by any type of cancer, has received a grant of $42,477 from the Greater Cincinnati Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to fund specific programming for women with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors. “We know that after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer, a woman may face physical and emotional challenges,” explained TWC Program Director Bonnie Crawford, MSW, LISW-S. “Depression, negative body image, difficulties with range-of-motion and lymphedema, anxiety, fear, and stress are all very common. “With the continued financial support of Komen for the Cure, we are able to offer a wide range of support programs at The Wellness Community to help

women find the necessary educational, emotional, and spiritual resources for confronting their diagnoses – all completely free of charge.” Specifically, the Komen grant will fund the following year-round programs at The Wellness Community, all of which are offered completely free of charge: • Support Groups: Two weekly support groups for women recently diagnosed with breast cancer, held at TWC’s primary facility in Blue Ash, and a weekly support group for women with cancer held at the centrally located Hope Lodge in Avondale. • Networking Groups: Four separate networking groups for specific subsets of women affected by breast cancer meet once or twice a month in Blue Ash. Separate meetings are held for young women ages 18-40 with breast cancer, women with advanced breast cancer, breast cancer “grads” who have completed treatment, and “previvors” who have a genetic

likelihood for developing breast or ovarian cancer. • Light Exercise Programs: Lebed classes are offered twice a week in Blue Ash, providing a researchbased exercise/movement program that strengthens range-of-motion and other co-occurring side effects of breast cancer. The Rebuilding Health light exercise program is offered weekly at the TWC facility in Ft. Wright, providing low impact strengthening and flexibility exercises. • Transportation Assistance: Thanks to the generosity of Komen for the Cure, cab vouchers are available for participants who need transportation assistance to attend programs at The Wellness Community. For more information about any of these programs, contact The Wellness Community at 513791-4060 or visit www.TheWellnessCommunity.org/Cincinnati where a “virtual visit” video is available for viewing.

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.
