Sissy Kamer doesn’t hesitate when asked what she’ll miss most about Miss Martha Dress Shop as she heads into retirement. “Oh- just seeing the people in here every day and getting to know them like they were family,” she said. “Sometimes, you would feel like you were a part of their weddings and things, because you’d spend so much time helping them match colors and pick out clothing.” Kamer and Donna Tenfelde announced that after 11 years as co-owners, they will be closing the popular Fort Mitchell store to allow them to spend more time with their families, who are spread out across the country. The store, which opened in 1981, will remain open through the end of August

The Fort Mitchell store announced they will be closing by the end of August. as they sell their remaining merchandise. “We want this to be kind of a celebration as we say thank-you to the community,” said Kamer. In addition to the sale prices on items, Kamer said they will be holding giveaways for customers,
with prizes including a flat-screen TV or an iPod. The sales will continue as long as the merchandise lasts, said Kamer. “The plan is to have it all wrapped by the end of August, but the way it has gone so far, it may not last that long,” she said with a
Fort Mitchell to publish book for centennial By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
The Fort Mitchell Centennial Committee announced it plans to publish a book detailing the city’s history as part of the 2010 Centennial Celebration next summer. Committee member Vicki Boerger said the committee is currently working on breaking down the city’s history by decade, spotlighting important
events and people who helped to shape the city. The book will include a history of the origins of Fort Mitchell, which was named after former General Ormsby Mitchel, a general in the Union Army. Fort Mitchell was one of the forts manned by the Union army during the Civil War to protect the ports of Cincinnati. Boerger said the book will also include a history of the city’s government, fire and police
departments, as well as some famous citizens who have called Fort Mitchell home. “There’s a lot of interesting things we’re finding, and I’m sure they’ll be a lot more as we get deeper into this,” she said. Boerger said they’re also working on locating decedents of the city’s earliest residents to help with the festivities next year, which will include a parade. Boerger said the Centennial
Committee will meet the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the city building, and is looking for residents who want to help with research, or or lend historical photos or stories to the project. “We’re looking for people who want to get involved, because there’s a lot of work to do,” she said. For more information about the committee, contact the city building at 331-1212.
Park Hills debated fire department funds By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Park Hills City Council heard heated discussion on the purchase of a $6,500 keyless security system that was recently installed on three doors in the fire department at the caucus meeting July 27. Some council members believe the update doesn’t merit the cost, while Chief Regis Huth said the keyless system is better for security and provides administrators information on who is in the fire house when and where. Huth reported to council on the department’s plan to purchase the system at the regular meeting July 13, but council tabled the issue in order to get more information on whether or not the system could be used throughout the city building. However, the fire department membership had already voted to purchase the equipment using
funds from the Ruth Creighton fund, which is a trust set aside specifically for the fire department, and the system was installed soon after the council meeting. Council members Chris Sudbrink and Don Catchen felt the fire department acted on the purchase prematurely. “I’m not going to nickel and dime the fire department to death, but the thing is when people go ahead and do something with the assumption that we can do this and get away with it I am in disagreement with that,” Catchen said. Mayor Michael Hellmann, however, said past practice for the last 10 years or so concerning the Creighton Fund was that city council generally only approved expenditures over $10,000. Huth himself said he had always gone ahead with such things in the past after a vote by the department membership and

laugh. “We’ve had a lot of people here, and it’s been really good to see them all.” Long-time customer Kathy Quast, who purchased a dress at Miss Martha for her daughter’s wedding last fall, said she’ll be sad to the store
close. “I always enjoyed coming in here because they were so friendly and so helpful with whatever I needed,” she said as she browsed through the racks. “It’s really sad for me to see them go, but I’m happy they’ll be able to be with their families more now.” While their retirement has been tentatively planned for a little over a year, Kamer admitted the closing of the store is bittersweet. “We absolutely loved it here, and it tough to say good-bye,” she said. “But it will be great to see my grandkids more, and I’m leaving here with a lot of good memories.” Miss Martha Dress Shop is located on Dixie Highway, next to The Greyhound Tavern. For more information about the sale, call 331-7878.
“I’m not going to nickel and dime the fire department to death, but the thing is when people go ahead and do something with the assumption that we can do this and get away with it I am in disagreement with that.”
Don Catchen Park Hills council member
just made a report of purchases to city council later. “I had no clue we had to check and put every $5 purchased out of this account through council,” he said. Hellmann said he also had no problem with the department moving forward with the purchase because Huth said if council did
not approve of the Creighton Fund expenditure, the system would be paid for using monies raised during the department’s fund drive. Catchen and Sudbrink hope to bring up the issue at the next council meeting to discuss removing the system and getting a refund. Other council members weren’t as bothered by the purchase. “I don’t think we need to tie your hands from spending money in the Creighton Fund,” said council member Monty O’Hara. “We don’t know what you need.” As a compromise council member Ted Kleymeyer asked City Attorney Robert Winter to draw up a procedure the city could follow with the fund in the future. Winter’s recommendation will be discussed at a future council meeting. “We’re just trying to keep moving the city forward,” Kleymeyer said.

Students weigh in on ‘green’ plans By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Construction of the new Turkey Foot Middle School is on-schedule and going well – chances look good for students who will start at the new school in the fall of 2010. “In spite of the wet spring we are making very good progress,� said Rob Haney, director of Support Operations for the Kenton County School District. Haney expects to have “substantial completion� of the building in June 2010 with everything in readiness by the time school begins. Current and future Turkey Foot students have been involved in the planning of the two-story, 134,000 square feet building that will be as environmentally friendly as possible. “It’s a great opportunity just for career exploration,� Haney said of students participating in the Turkey Foot project. “They’re getting exposure to a lot of different fields of student and learning a lot, not just about

ment for Energy Development and Independence. Students asked Miller and Randolph about how to find support for their “green� school and campus. Miller encouraged students to contact state legislators directly, telling them the “most persuasive solicitors are going to be you.� “You’re the greenest generation,� he said. “You all understand how critical this is for your future.�
Miller also invited all students to “friend� him on Twitter and Facebook, so they could be “hooked up� with other officials and environmental groups. Before talking with Miller and Randolph, students were shown plans for landscape design that would create a walkable campus with a central plaza for all three schools, outside classrooms, underground parking, a sculpture garden and more.

Children’s Home using Facebook to spread message By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
For some employees, using the popular social networking Web site Facebook while in the office is a quick way to draw a lecture from their boss. For Morgan Kells, it’s now become part of her job. “I get on a few times a day and just update little news and notes- things like that,” she said. “It’s actually turned into a pretty neat thing for us here.” However, Kells, a development coordinator for the Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home, admits she was a little skeptical when it was suggested that she create a Facebook page for the Home. By creating a page for the center, it would allow other Facebooks users to become “fans” of the home, meaning they could post messages and interact on the page. “I just didn’t really know how this would work out, since it is a social tool and we’re getting our business involved,” said Kells, a development coordinator. “I had some doubts, but as it turns out, it worked out better than anyone could have imagined.” That’s because the Home was able to use a new tool on Facebook that enables people to establish causes, therefore enabling people to
donate to those causes. Having already drawn over 75 fans to their page on Facebook, Kells said one board member decided to use their growing popularity to their advantage. “We had a board member who had a birthday coming up, and so she asked some her friends on Facebook to donate money to the Home for it,” said Kells. “Before we know it, we had raised over $500 in three days. It was awesome!” With the initial success, Kells said the Home is now exploring other ways of using Facebook for fundraising. She said other board members have expressed an interest in setting up similar causes, and word is quickly spreading about advantages the Facebook page offers as a public forum. Kells said she updates the page regularly with upcoming events and news from the Home. “I can just get on there and type a couple sentences, and it can reach hundreds of people through their “Friends” list,” said Kells. “It really has turned into an incredible resource for us to get our message out there to people.” For more information or to become a fan, search “Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home” on Facebook.

The Jazz Ensemble consists of 18 students, who play instruments ranging from trumpets and saxophones to the piano and drums. Beechwood Principal Ginger Webb said the performance will be just one of the highlights for the program this school year under Joe Craig, who is starting his first year as director after being an assistant since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a tremendous honor for not only Joe and the students, but our entire music program,â&#x20AC;? said Webb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to a great start as director, and we think there are a lot of good things in our future to go along with this.â&#x20AC;? Craig could not be reached for comment, but did release a statement through the school, calling the selection an honor â&#x20AC;&#x153;on par with our state and national band championships.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled since it is not only a superb achievement, but it is considered in the eyes of many as one of the most distinguished honors a music program can receive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time in Beechwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recorded history that any ensemble has received this recognition.â&#x20AC;? The 2008-09 Jazz Ensemble, who recorded the songs that ultimately earned Beechwood the KMEA selection, was comprised of students Brandon Prew, Caleb Burkhardt, Jack Truitt, Logan Buck, Nathan Hatton, Zack Williams, Seth Burkhardt, Ethan Hodge, Trevor Wess, Caitlin Sullivan, Justin Penny, Justin Bullock, Sean Todd, Luke Ledonne, Anna Bruce, Joseph Gieske, Elena Michels and Joey Boehmker.

Kenton fair blast for all By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Lawn mowers crashed, pageant winners were crowned and salsa was danced at the 2009 Kenton County Fair & Horse Show July 20-25 in Independence. Fair organizers had a variety of events open to Kenton County residents, who showed up to check out Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Demolition Derby featuring not only cars, but also lawn mowers in between heats, as well as open karaoke and of course the horse show. Despite Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain, the Little Miss and Lit-

After being an offensive juggernaut through much of the season, the Storm hit a drought in the postseason. That didn’t stop the Knothole baseball team from scoring enough to advance to the final four of the Greater Cincinnati Division 2 championships. The Storm entered the Class CSenior city finals with a 21-0 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. The team is comprised of 10and 11-year olds from Villa Hills, Crescent Springs, and Lakeside Park. Head coach Tim Boyle said the team had averaged nearly 15 runs per game in the regular season, but less than five in the Northern
Kentucky regionals. “We’ve had to come from behind in the last inning in four of our five games,” he said. “They’ve made my life interesting. We’re hitting the ball well, we’re just not getting hits with guys in scoring position.” The players are Mark Gebhart, Cole Von Handorf, Logan Boyle, Jacob Litzler, Brennan Kamer, Patrick Ballow, Gannon Huff, Kyle Krumpelman, Peter Schaefer, Jake Wessels, Mason Lukey, and Bryce Helson. Gebhart, Von Handorf, Boyle and Litzler lead the pitching staff. “I’d match our pitching against anybody,” Boyle said. Boyle has coached most of the team since they were 5-year olds in coach-pitch. He also coached his older son this year for the Dale’s Devils team that reached the Knothole Division I championship game. That team dedicated the season to a former teammate battling cancer.
Legends League wraps up season By Adam Turer Contributor
The Legends League, the Tristate’s premier women’s basketball summer league, wrapped up its sixth season on Thursday, July 16. It was the league’s fourth season playing at Thomas More College. The teams play a sevenweek regular season schedule, followed by a single-elimination tournament. The league is split into two divisions, one featuring several current and former college players and the other open to purely recreational players. The 10 teams in the competitive division feature teams from Thomas More College, the College of Mount St. Joseph, Northern Kentucky University, Xavier University and Cincinnati State. “It’s one of the few women’s leagues in the area,” said Legends League founder Erik Goetz. “I would have to say it’s the most competitive. I think that’s what attracts so many players – the competition level.” Many former Northern Kentucky high school stars play in the league. The team led by Marquis Hanser (Notre Dame), Brittany Bass (Holy Cross), and Meghan Fletcher (Boone County) went undefeated in the regular season. Campus Book & Supply, the team featuring current Northern Kentucky University players, avenged a regular season loss to Hanser’s team to knock them off in the final game of the tournament and claim the championship. Goetz is the varsity boys coach at Holy Cross High School. He had
the idea to start a women’s summer league after seeing how competitive and successful local boys leagues had become. It is also a way for Goetz to raise some money for his program, which helps him take his team to camps in the offseason. “We are trying to provide something that wasn’t there,” he said of bringing a highly competitive women’s summer league to the area. The competition level is similar to Cincinnati’s Deveroes summer league for men. Both leagues give local college teams an opportunity to play together in the summer against top competition. They both provide competition for former area high school stars who are now playing college ball in other parts of the country. Both leagues also feature several former area college and high school players, some striving for professional contracts, others just playing for fun against tough competition. Goetz says that the Legends League has not quite reached the notoriety of the Deveroes league, which has a big local following. The Legends League does not charge admission or have a Web site. Goetz believes he found something that the Tristate area previously lacked. He plans on continuing to develop the league as it continues to attract many of the area’s most talented women’s basketball players. “It is hard to find a good, competitive women’s summer league,” said Goetz. For eight weeks each summer, that league can be found at Thomas More College.

Soccerama to celebrate sport’s history jweber@nky.com
John Horton is hoping to create new soccer fans in Northern Kentucky. Horton, the former longtime Covington Catholic head boys’ soccer coach, is looking to give local boys’ prep players a lot of exposure in August. He is the chair of this year’s Soccerama, a series of preseason exhibition games at Ryle High School Aug. 7-8. The exhibition features 23 Northern Kentucky schools and will be important benchmarks as they prepare for the regular season to begin Aug. 17.
Horton said while sports such as basketball and football have a broad base of interested spectators, soccer teams have to work harder to promote themselves. “We hope to bring a lot of people and raise the interest in boys’ high school soccer,” he said. “And we want the kids participating to feel good in themselves. We’re looking to bring a bit of interest and put players in the spotlight, let them show what they can do.” The exhibition will take place on Ryle’s artificial turf soccer/football field. Besides soccer, Ryle will add a lot of off-field activities. Food and sports vendors
will be there, and the armed services will have a climbing wall. Various dance teams will perform among other activities. “We’ll make it like a festival atmosphere,” Ryle head boys’ soccer coach Stephen Collins said. “Ryle has never hosted this before. When we agreed to host it, Coach Horton and I decided to go all out.” The schedule starts with an evening session Friday, Aug. 7, then separate early and late sessions Saturday, Aug. 8. Admission is $5 per session or $10 for all three. Collins and Horton said the Soccerama will also celebrate the history of boys
soccer in Northern Kentucky. A program to be sold at the tourney contains a thorough history of each school’s boys’ soccer program involved in the Soccerama and an outlook to each team’s 2009 campaign. Coaches of participating teams had the chance to spotlight certain players or aspects of their program. All-time statistical records and postseason histories are also in the program. Horton, who began coaching in 1979, compiled the historical data. “A lot of the things I just knew from being there,” he

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 “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. “No, I’m not worried about swine flu going pandemic.

Trash pickup
I, like many others in Erlanger, am not happy with how the city of Erlanger handled the changes to the trash pickup. More disturbing is how the city has failed to tell its residents the whole truth. According to CSI (and I confirmed this twice), Erlanger citizens do not have to use CSI’s trash carts at all. We can continue to put our trash out to the curb exactly as we have been doing for years, in whatever container we choose including plastic bags, as well as setting out large or awkward items by themselves. Per CSI, using the trash carts is no

more mandatory than recycling. Concerning the use of plastic bags, apparently there are members of city council who don’t like seeing “all those plastic bags out by the street on garbage day.” For those council people, the solution is simple; don’t drive down my street on garbage day (Thursday). And here’s another helpful hint: Spraying Windex in your bags before you set them out keeps the dogs away (yes, those dogs who are not supposed to be running loose in the first place).

Some trees hurt by shade decline Question: My maples and oak trees have several dead branches, and they seem to be thinning out on top. One tree already has its fall color. What could be the cause? Answer: Shade tree decline is a complex disease situation since the cause frequently cannot be traced to one single factor. Trees most commonly affected in Kentucky are Norway and sugar maples, ash and oaks (particularly pin oaks). A wide variety of factors can be involved in shade tree decline. These include (1) compacted or poorly drained soils, poor fertility, moisture stress and change in soil level around trees; (2) late spring frost; drought; severe winters; dramatic temperature drop after a warm, wet fall, or plant variety not cold or heat tolerant; (3) fungal and bacterial diseases, insect borers, and defoliation by insects; (4) construction, de-icing salts, trunk injury (e.g., mower damage), paving over roots, topping and improper pruning, and improper planting (i.e., too deep); and (5) lime-induced iron deficiency often associated with oak declines; and (6) girdling roots. Tree roots normally grow outward in a radius from the trunk. However, when a lateral root intertwines with another main lateral root or encircles the trunk, a girdling root problem can occur. The girdling root, in effect, causes “self-strangulation” by restricting the flow of water and nutrients in the tree. This problem is more common on maples (particularly Norway, sugar and silver maples) and pines than on other species.
Affected trees are generally well-established (10 or more years old), often with a past history of having done well in their growing Mike Klahr site. Gradually, Community a b o v e g r o u n d Recorder s y m p t o m s such as columnist appear, branch dieback, thinning of foliage, and early fall color. If the problem is not corrected, the tree will eventually die. To confirm a girdling root problem, carefully examine the base of the trunk. Normally, by the time a tree is 10-20 years old, lateral roots at the base of the trunk will flare outwards at the soil surface. A girdling root restricts normal buttress flare so the tree appears to ascend straight up from the ground like a telephone pole. Often, the girdling root will be at least partially exposed at the soil surface, forming a noose around the tree. In other cases, careful digging near the trunk to a depth of 6 to 12 inches may be necessary to locate the problem root. A girdling root can be caused by factors originating as far back as transplanting. When roots are cut as the trees are moved from the nursery, secondary roots become dominant and grow across the path of future trunk expansion. If container-grown plant material is root bound at transplanting, the roots may continue to spiral around within the planting hole.
Roots of bare-rooted transplants can become twisted when placed in an improperly dug planting hole. Girdling roots may also be associated with obstacles that prevent normal outward growth of roots. For example, pavement, buildings, boulders, ledges or compacted soil can all impede root growth. As a result, lateral roots may grow back across the main root system. To minimize the likelihood of girdling root problems: (1) avoid planting in locations where space for proper root development is limited; (2) make several vertical slits at least one inch deep in the root ball of root-bound container-grown plants before transplanting; (3) be sure the planting hole is large enough to accommodate the roots of the transplant. It is best to dig the hole larger than the size of the root ball; (4) inspect for potential girdling roots several years after transplanting, but before problems develop. Roots near the trunks of girdling-root-prone trees such as maples can be carefully excavated and removed. Treatment for an already existing girdling root is effective only if the problem is corrected early. If a tree is allowed to decline for a number of years, its chances of recovery are slim. To remove a girdling root: (1) sever both ends of the girdling root and allow it to decay in the soil. Remove a couple of inches from the severed ends to prevent the cut ends from rejoining; and (2) fertilize the tree and prune out dead wood. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.
Customer service? Not so much Any company that has any interest in longevity or future earnings cares about customer service. They care about pleasing customers because happy customers return and because they talk to their friends. Unhappy customers do not talk to their friends nearly as much as happy customers. I know this because I have been talking to friends all day because for three days I have been in Customer Service Hell! Tuesday. Went with my husband to see doctor. We get to point of scheduling for next appointment, and the scheduling person could not have been ruder. (You know who you are, Nurse Ratchet!) We changed doctors. Wednesday was a “me” day, so I was lured into a false sense of complacency. But, alas, it was not to be. Thursday. Take my grandchildren to get pictures made. I drive two hours for company to call to say A/C quit working and it was 90 degrees in their building. I told them 90-degree heat was probably not conducive to a good picture outcome. I called another company, made appointment, told them what I wanted, confirm the price, all’s well. You know the drill. Price goes up to somewhere
in the neighborhood of a bazillion dollars, “I simply cannot allow my grandchildren’s 135 extra pictures to be destroyed!” PicKaren tures won’t be Neumeister ready that Community night, but I can them up in Recorder pick two weeks, etc. guest So, finally columnist get back home to the peace and quiet of my sanctuary and start doing a little online banking and what pops up, but the “me-day” reality of the mani-pedi, and, of course, the shop charged me double. So, I call and I am sure, they will immediately rectify the problem … I really shouldn’t be this naïve at this age, should I? Their response, “Prove it!” You know, at some point, you gotta love the moxie! You know I actually have a few more anecdotes from just this week. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough room in this entire newspaper for the customer service stories I could tell. Not all bad. Many are very good.
I actually had a good one today. After three days of incredulously bad customer service, “Zina” came over the cell phone towers to help me with an issue. She spoke in a courteous manner, asked if she could help me. She completed the task efficiently and cheerfully and then asked me if there was anything else she could do. I thanked her for doing such a good job and being pleasant and asked to speak to her supervisor. When Mr. Supervisor came on the phone, he was courteous as well. Imagine that. And, then I explained to him that my customer service issue was that I actually received some service for a change and that Zina was a quality employee. So the point to all this “rant” is that we are all more than ready to complain when we have inadequate service, but do we applaud good service? If we experience particularly good service or “over and above” effort, do we take the time to let either the employee or their manager or supervisor know that they did a good job and we appreciate it? You know like everything else, we can cure this, one “Zina” at a time. Karen Neumeister is a resident of Chatsworth Court in Walton.

Something new is Brewing By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Coffee lovers have a little more to look forward to now when they visit Brewberry. That’s because Cathy Jacobs, who took over as the new owner of the popular coffee shop in mid-July, has added a variety of food items to the menu, including breakfast sandwiches, pastries and lunches. “By far, our most popular breakfast item has been our croissants,” said Jacobs. “I
think people are really enjoying being able to grab some food here to go with their coffee, and it’s taken off really well.” Jacobs, who runs the shop with the help of her husband and three children, said owning the shop has been a dream come true. “I’ve always loved baking and cooking, so this seemed like a terrific opportunity,” she said. “My family has been awesome in supporting me, and this has worked out great.”

Have a ‘taste’ at Kenton library fundraising event By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Get your passport stamped all over the world at 6 p.m. Aug. 7. at the Mary Ann Mongan Branch of the Kenton County Public Library, 501 Scott Blvd. The Second Annual Taste of Kenton County is a free event that will feature samplings of cuisine ranging from Chinese to Greek to German provided by about 30 local restaurants. “The food will actually be set up by cuisine and when the guests arrive they will receive their passport to take around to different stations to get stamped,” said Gina Holt, public relations coordinator for the library. A full passport will be entered into a drawing for a door prize, Holt said. Silent auctions with items such as
a two-hour genealogy research session with the library’s Executive Director Dave Shroeder, first-pitch honors and tickets to a Florence Freedom game, signed books and more will be available. A live auction will draw bids to win a children’s party with Joel “The Singing Librarian” Caithamer, Holt said. While the event is free, donations will be accepted with proceeds benefiting the library’s outreach programs for early childhood reading and providing materials to those who are homebound. A portion of the proceeds from the Taste of Kenton County will also benefit the purchase of a new Read Racer, a Nascar-inspired vehicle that brings the library to local preschools and child-care facilities. The library has
raised about a third of the racer’s total cost, $150,000. “It’s a wonderful way to introduce your children to the idea of books and stories and getting them to come to the library for reading,” said Louise Canter, vice president of the library’s foundation board, of the Read Racer. Whether guests choose to donate to the library or not, Canter said, the event is still a chance for people to get to know the library. “They get to see the library, taste different foods and see what the library can offer,” Canter said. Registration is required to attend the Taste of Kenton County. To register, call 962-4063 or visit kentonlibrary.org. “It’s fun for us to do and fun for anybody that comes. They”ll go away happy,” Canter said.
SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Business makes showroom interactive
A business that has thrived for six years has moved to a new interactive showroom in Richwood. The new showroom has been open for three months and nearly everything is fully functional. Florence Winteriors is a business that sells home fixtures like bathtubs and kitchen faucets. Jerry Schaadt, the kitchen and bath designer, said that he designed the showroom to be innovative. “I think what sets us apart is the ability to use faucets and toilets before you put them in your home,” Schaadt said. The showroom also has a children’s play area and a flat screen LCD television with DVD compatibility. Schaadt said that he believes Florence Winteriors has been so successful because of its focus on the customer. “We take the time to listen to our clients to find out what they want and fit that to our criteria,” Schaadt said. “Imagine building a 5,000-square-foot house with six bathrooms; we can

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 busyness 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.
Summer invites tranquility, feeling at one with nature, choosing some positive and relaxing times in our lives. 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. Father Lou One of my Guntzelman favorite prayers in a Sunday Perspectives Mass says: “Lord, open our eyes to see 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. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.
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
t h e y w o u l d erase the debt. I just w a n t other people to be aware of these letHoward Ain ters comHey Howard! ing 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 writing to provide proof it belongs to you. Do not admit the debt is yours unless you are sure. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints and questions weekdays at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Chocolate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in to elevate zucchini bread
I â&#x20AC;&#x2122; v e been picking my Italian round zucchini, my Lebanese zucchini and my Rita r e g u l a r Heikenfeld z u c c h i n i day. Rita s kitchen every I â&#x20AC;&#x2122; l l make stuffed zucchini for supper tonight and if I have time, a chocolate zucchini bread. I wanted to share that recipe since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little different than the norm.
Chocolate zucchini bread/cake
From an anonymous reader. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tried this yet but it looks delicious. Let me know how you like it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cross between a bread and a cake, so either name is appropriate. 11â &#x201E;2 cups shredded zucchini 1 cup flour 1 â &#x201E;2 cup unsweetened
cocoa powder, sifted 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon baking powder 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon salt 1 â &#x201E;2 to 3â &#x201E;4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon allspice 1 â &#x201E;2 cup canola oil 1 â &#x201E;2 cup sugar 1 â &#x201E;2 cup light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 â &#x201E;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.

Two unusual zucchini: Lebanese and Italian round.
Mary Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catalina dip
Baked pasta and chicken
From Rose Kutschbach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe, an alltime favorite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom passed away in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;95 but memories will always be there for us,â&#x20AC;? 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.
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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a good 3 cups or so 1 nice onion, chopped â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 11â &#x201E;2 cups 2-3 teaspoons garlic or bit more to taste 28 oz. diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups mozzarella Parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste
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 Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and try to use 100 percent juice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use at least twice the water recommended) is good. * Information from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Official Snack Guide for Beleaguered Sports Parentsâ&#x20AC;? which yours truly, along with three talented colleagues, wrote!

Community In recognition of his lifelong leadership in the Kentucky Grocery Industry, Bill Remke, President and CEO of Remke Markets Inc., is being inducted into the Kentucky Grocers Association Hall of Fame. The KGA Hall of Fame is a way of recognizing outstanding lifetime leaders in the Kentucky Grocery Industry. Remke will be only the fifth Kentucky grocer inducted into the Hall of Fame in the Hall’s 68-year history. “We want to recognize Bill’s achievements and pay tribute to a man who has dedicated much of his life to the Kentucky Food Industry, and who has consistently exceeded goals,” said Ted Mason, KGA Executive Director. “Bill has made a huge impact on the Kentucky grocery industry, and we are proud to honor him with this event.” Remke, a native Northern Kentuckian, is the third generation to be involved in the company. He started working at Remke Markets at a young age, and took over operations in the early 1970s. During Remke’s years as Owner, President and CEO, Remke Markets has expanded to eight loca-
tions, opened pharmacies, and moved its warehouse and corporate office. Remke Markets just celebrated its 111th year of serving grocery needs in the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati area. Induction attendees included KGA staff and board members, Remke Market employees, representatives from the Governor’s office and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and vendors who have long-time relationships with Remke. At the event, Remke received an engraved Kentucky Hall of Fame trophy along with an oversized framed portrait signed by luncheon attendees. Remke graduated from St. Xavier High School in 1963 and the University of Dayton in 1967. He served in the U.S. Army from 1968 - 1970. He has three children and five grandchildren, and is a supporter of the Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home, The Point, Rising Star Studios, Redwood and Mary Queen of Heaven Church. He has been a Board Member of the Boone County Conservancy since 2005.

NKSL hosting reunion The first ever reunion of the Northern Kentucky Swim League (NKSL) will be held at the Brookwood Country Club on Friday night, August 14 from 6:30 p.m. until midnight. Swimmers, divers and coaches who participated in the league from the 1960’s, 70’s and early 80’s are invited. The cost is $10 at the door and includes light snacks and a cash bar. All proceeds will go to fund the Mike Bresser swimming scholarship for deserving seniors that have competed in the NKSL during their swimming careers. A brief program will include an address from Frank Busch, former swimmer and coach at Brookwood and current University of Arizona head swim coach and three time NCAA coach of the year winner and ten time PAC ten coach of the year winner. Mr. Busch was also on the U.S. summer Olympics coaching staff. The NKSL was formed in
1962 and held its first championship meet in 1963. The first clubs to participate were, Brookwood Country Club, Highlands Country Club, Bluegrass Swim Club, Beechwood Swim Club, Triple E Swim Club, Ludlow Bromley Swim Club, Cherry Hill/Southern Woods Swim Club and Fort Thomas Swim Club. Taylor Mill Swim Club joined shortly after 1963 when Highlands dropped out. Thousands of swimmers and divers from the Northern Kentucky area have participated in this historic league over the last forty seven years. Many have gone on to the collegiate ranks with a few going on to compete in the Olympics. NKSL anticipates over five hundred past swimmers and divers to attend. Anyone wishing to find out about the reunion should contact their club’s representative. Please contact Warren Whalen at 513-616-0388 for more information.

combined price of $9.7 million in an all cash transaction, adding a total of approximately 1,500 units and 190,000 rentable square feet to its portfolio of properties. Earlier this year, SSTI closed on the purchase of three other high-profile storage centers in the same area. “This transaction marks our 10th self storage acquisition in five states since going public,” said SSTI chairman and CEO H.

It contains approximately 610 units and 63,700 net rentable squarefeet on five acres and has immediate access and visibility from I-275 and I-75.

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.
