Bob’s Sweet Shoppe in Latonia is a tribute to the neighborhood. Owner Chris Wilson grew up on 41st Street in Latonia visiting Bob’s Five and Ten on Decoursey Avenue and 40th Street for candy and childhood fun. When former owner Bob Evans passed away a couple of years ago and the building was put up for sale, Wilson wanted to make sure the kids in his old neighborhood were taken care of. “I don’t do this for a living,” said Wilson, who works as a real estate developer. “I wanted to give something back to the neighborhood I came from.” The name “Bob’s” is also an homage to the original owner of the building because as Wilson explained with a smile, “Everyone’s going to call it ‘Bob’s’ no matter what.” Ice cream seemed like the natural choice for a shop catering to neighborhood children, Wilson said. Bob’s Sweet Shoppe features a wide variety of ice cream flavors, snow balls, a kind of snow cone, and a “storm,” soft serve ice cream with different goodies
The name “Bob’s” is also an homage to the original owner of the building because as Chris Wilson explained with a smile, “Everyone’s going to call it ‘Bob’s’ no matter what.”
mixed in. Bob’s also sells homemade fudge and hand-dipped chocolate pretzels. Eventually, Wilson plans to offer a deli and other lunch-type foods such as hot dogs and nachos. “There’s a need for it,” Wilson said of the shop, which is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. “We’re starting to get regulars every day and getting to know their names – this is what it must have been like for Bob. How interesting it must have been for him.” Bob’s Sweet Shoppe is located at the corner of Decoursey Avenue and 40th Streets. For more information, call 491-2627.

County considers energy efficiency project By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Kenton County’s government buildings could be going green. The county is undergoing an evaluation by independent energy solutions company Ameresco, whose employees will study the energy use and consumption in county buildings such as the county courthouse, golf courses and public works building. The company offers performance contracting, which means it guarantees to the county a certain amount of energy savings over a certain period of time. If the savings amount is not reached by the end of the contract, Ameresco must reimburse Kenton County.
However, no contract will be signed until the fall, estimated Deputy Judge-Executive Scott Kimmich, who said Ameresco is offering a pre-contract evaluation document free of charge before the county puts the work out to bid. Whether the county wants to then go with Ameresco or another energy solutions company when it’s time to bid is up to the fiscal court. Ameresco representatives presented preliminary information to the fiscal court at their caucus July 14. “I’d say let’s do it,” said JudgeExecutive Ralph Drees. “You’re willing to stick your neck out and we’re willing to take advantage of it.”
The county will be using $400,000 in federal stimulus money that is earmarked for green initiatives for the project, if and when the fiscal court enters into a contract. Ameresco told the fiscal court that changes like new lightbulbs and low-flow toilets could save the county about $50,000 in the first year. Upgrades to HVAC, high-efficiency transformers, door seals and renewable energy practices such as solar-tracking skylights could make all the difference. “There’s a lot of things you can do there to save money,” said Teresa Barton, account executive for Ameresco. Changes as simple as behavior
Taylor Mill gains fans on Web By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
The City of Taylor Mill has no trouble getting fans. The city’s official profile on the social networking site Facebook, started in May, had reached 393 fans by the special commission meeting July 20. More than half of the city’s fans, 62 percent, are under the age of 34, an exciting fact to City Administrator Jill Bailey. “It’s kind of nice to see a younger group of people engaging

with their government,” she said. Bailey also found that 18 percent of fans were aged between 33 and 44, 13 percent 45 to 54 and just 5 percent over the age of 55. “We’ve had some really nice comments from residents on Facebook saying they’re happy we’ve entered the world of social networking,” Bailey said. The city has been using Facebook to promote city events and information. However, Bailey doesn’t want to inundate residents with too many updates – when
the city does send information, she hopes fans will pay attention. “We’re trying to make sure we use all avenues possible to reach the public,” she said. Taylor Mill wasn’t the first city to launch a Facebook profile. The city of Fort Wright debuted its profile last August, said Fort Wright council member Dave Hatter. The profile had accumulated about 100 fans before a recent technical difficulty when Facebook deleted it, Hatter said. At press time, a new Fort Wright City profile had been created.
modification, such as the judge turning off computer monitor when he leaves his office can save energy, Barton said. “You in the fiscal court and judge’s office can be leaders in the community,” she said. Although Ameresco is putting a preliminary report together, all members of the fiscal court are not yet convinced of bidding out the contract; for his part, Commissioner Dan Humpert thinks the county can do it in-house with his skills as a civil engineer, the judge’s experience with home-building and Commissioner Kris Knochelmann’s experience with HVAC. “I’m already sold now, it’s just how we go about doing it,” Humpert said.
Fan your city
To become a fan of the cities of Taylor Mill or Fort Wright, simply search for the city’s name on facebook.com. “It’s a great marketing tool because people are opting to get that information,” Hatter said. Hatter said he had been using the city’s profile to get out event information and direct fans to the city’s Web site, fortwright.com. “It’s another way to stay in touch with people,” he said. “People use Facebook everyday, but they’re not going to regularly visit our Web site.”

expenditures online for public viewing. Following a series of articles in The Lexington Herald-Leader that detailed questionable expenses by the KLC in recent years, councilman Will Terwort proposed a similar resolution a little over a month ago, but that resolution was ultimately voted down by the council. “I don’t know that we need to have a resolution for this when we can just ask the mayor to follow up with the KLC and clear some of this up,� said council member David Stoeckle at the time. However, Terwort proposed the resolution again following a July 15 HeraldLeader article that revealed an $80 charge on a KLC credit card at a Las Vegas
strip club in 2006. This time, the resolution passed by a vote of 5-1, with council members Stoeckle and Denny Zahler absent from the meeting and David Schrand casting the dissenting vote. “Since the KLC is funded by taxpayer dollars, it is clearly inappropriate for KLC employees to spend it’s members’ money at strip clubs,� said Terwort. “I was outraged to hear this.� Councilman Chris Wiest agreed, pointing to the explanation by the KLC executive, where he claimed to be unaware the business was a strip club, despite large lettering near the entrance that said “Nude�. “Do they think we’re stupid?� asked Wiest. “I’m disgusted by the arrogant attempt at making an
excuse by the KLC officials who were behind this.� Wiest even suggested the city should look into withholding their 2010 dues to the KLC until they’re positive that the KLC has cleaned up their expenditures. The city currently pays $2,000 in dues and approximately $90,000 in insurance premiums each year. Mayor Tom Holocher said that while he couldn’t condone the strip club expenditure, he does feel the KLC is in the process of cleaning up their expenditures and becoming more financially accountable. The KLC is also currently set to undergo an audit by State Auditor Crit Luellen’s office. “[The strip club expense] was wrong, and there’s no way to justify that,� said
Holocher. “But the KLC does do a lot of good work for us, and I would like to see us take a step back and let them fix their mistakes before we make any decisions.� While the city has already paid the insurance premiums for the current fiscal year, Holocher said the dues for 2010 likely wouldn’t be due until next spring, meaning the city could have more assurance by then about the KLC’s finances and spending. “I just want to see their attitude change with regards to accountability, so we know that this stuff won’t be happening anymore,� said Wiest. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be August 3 at 7 p.m.
Crestview Hills selects candidate By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Crestview Hills may have found a new city administrator. City council authorized Mayor Paul Meier to enter into contract negotiations with former Boone County Assistant County Administrator Tim Williams at a special meeting Wednesday July 15. Council voted unanimously to negotiate with Williams after an hourlong executive session. Current city administrator Rick Lunnemann resigned earlier this
month to become the new Florence City Coordinator. Lunnemann’s last day will be Aug. 4. “He has previous city experience, he knows Northern Kentucky, he’s just come from Boone County and after discussion with him and a look at the candidate list from less than a year ago, besides Mr. Lunnemann, we feel he is the best candidate for our city,� Meier said of Williams. Meier said he hopes to complete negotiations with Williams in the next few weeks. If all goes well, Williams could start his new position in the beginning of August.
Williams worked for Boone County government for the last two years before the fiscal court eliminated his position in fiscal year 2010 budget. Before working as assistant county administrator, Williams was a local government adviser in the Governor’s Office for Local Development in Frankfort. Williams also was the city administrator in White House, Tenn., a Nashville suburb. “This is an outstanding community,� Williams said of Crestview Hills. “It’s a community that values professional management, which is important as an administrator.�

Crescent Springs approves sign changes Crescent Springs City Council modified its sign ordinance at the regular meeting Monday July 13 to allow electronic signs within city limits. Council voted unanimously to approve the sign ordinance amendment. Although no business had approached council asking for electronic signs, Mayor Jim Collettt said it was time to “modernize” the city’s sign ordinance, especially in regards to gas stations, which may have to change prices several times a day. “We don’t want to have signs that are eye sores, but it’s impractical in today’s world to change signs that frequently when there is technology out
there to make it easier,” Collettt said. Electronic signs will be allowed in the city’s Neighborhood Commercial, Shopping Center and Limited Highway Service zones. The ordinance stipulates messages can change every eight seconds, but must be “substantially instantaneous” to the human eye. No movement, flashing or any other effects will be permitted on electronic signs. The eight-second rule is “pretty standard,” said City Attorney Joe Baker, who added the Federal Highway Administration requires the same time frame for changeable electronic signs. Electronic signs will also need to have automatic level controls to reduce light levels at night and under cloudy or other darkened conditions. Amendments such as this one are
preferable to city council as opposed to adopting the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission’s model sign ordinance that was proposed last year, Collettt said. The NKAPC proposed the sign ordinance to provide cities with an updated, constitutionally-sound document. Many changes were made, including the removal of any language concerning political signs because cities cannot regulate a sign’s message in any way. However, council is reluctant to adopt the model sign ordinance, Collett said, because the city’s current sign ordinance has been court-tested and will only have to be changed with the times. “We feel comfortable with our sign ordinance as it is versus the model sign ordinance,” Collett said.

Elsmere gets grant for senior center By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Elsmere city attorney Paul Markgraf announced at the July 14 council meeting that the Governor’s Office of Local Development has awarded the city $400,000 in grant money to be used for renovations and upgrades to the senior center. The city began the grant process over a year ago, hoping to secure money that would keep the popular center updated. Among the biggest changes expected with the new grant money is the addition of a new elevator to make the building more handicap accessible, as well as upgrading the kitchen area and the restrooms.
JASON BRUBAKER/STAFF
Thanks to a $400,000 grant from the Governor’s Office of Local Development, the Elsmere Senior Center will likely have an elevator installed near the entrance to help make it more handicap-accessible. “This certainly has been a long time in the works, but to hear that we have money coming in now is just great,” said councilman Marty Lenhof, who served
on a committee that handled the grant process. “We started this a long time ago, but it’s definitely worth the time we put in.” Lenhof also praised for-
mer council member Terry Whittaker and Ken Pallison of the Northern Kentucky Area Development District for their work in helping to secure the grant. “This was really a team effort, and we’re grateful for all they did to get this rolling,” he said. Markgraf said that while the grant has been awarded, the city still has to formalize some paperwork before they actually receive the money. “There’s still a process to go through, but it’s very neat to see this project finally coming to fruition,” he said. Lenhof, who said he had not heard news of the grant until he arrived at the council meeting, said no timeline is in place yet for the projects to begin. He expects to meet with architects from CDS Associates, as well as other officials, in the coming weeks in order to get the project started. “We’re very early in the process right now, but the biggest thing is out of the way, and that was getting the money,” he said. “This was fantastic news, and we’re excited to get started.”

Committee chair and council member Christie Arlinghaus wants the new site to be user-friendly and easily updated. “We want the Web site to be really time in the information, although some

The city’s new Web site will feature calendar information and city news in a column on the right side of the page, a table of contents on the left and a content area in the center for up-todate information. The new site will be also be a “one-stop shop” for citizens who need information on garbage collection, taxes, a list of restaurants, council minutes and more, Arlinghaus said. Improving communications through the Web site, more frequent newsletters and other initiatives was one of council’s goals after they were re-elected last November, Arlinghaus said. “So far we’ve had a lot of good feedback about our newsletter,” said Arlinghaus, who added before this year the newsletter may have gone out two or three times instead of every two months. “I’ve gone into stores where people have had the newsletter hanging up and something highlighted.”

Despite some concerns from the city council, Elsmere Mayor Billy Bradford is expected to sign an executive order that allows him to delegate specific duties to city engineer Ray Erpenbeck. According to city attorney Paul Markgraf, Bradford’s lingering health issues have limited him in certain administrative aspects of his job, making it necessary for him to have an assistant. Erpenbeck will not be compensated for the role, and will also retain his role as city engineer. Markgraf also made it a point to note that this new role for Erpenbeck is not permanent, lasting only until the end of the calendar year. Bradford was re-elected to office in 2006 for his third consecutive four-year term. “This isn’t a new position being created, and every duty is spelled out very specifically in the executive order,� explained Markgraf. “This is basically just a second set of eyes for the mayor, and he wanted someone that he trusts, which is Ray.� Council member Gloria Grubbs said she is hesitant about the decision, fearing it could lead to conflicts of interest with Erpenbeck serving both roles. “I don’t know if this looks right for the city,� she said. “We have the mayor delegating power to a contractor whose business profits from our city, and I don’t think that’s an image we want out there.� However, Markgraf explained that Erpenbeck would not be signing documents or exercising special authority as a result of the
that are found to be in the public interest. “He’ll be making recommendations to the mayor, but he’s not going to be making any financial determinations,� he said. “From a legal standpoint, as long as his duties are specifically outlined, it is not a conflict of interests for Ray to serve both roles.� Bradford said the selection of Erpenbeck was an easy one for him. “I can’t think of a better person than Ray,� he said. “I’ve known and worked him for many years, and I know he’s got the best interest of the city in mind.� The next regularly scheduled council meeting is July 28 at 7:30 p.m.

The last time Matthew Engel wandered the halls of Arnett Elementary, he was intent on staying out of the principal’s office. Now, he’ll be calling that office home. Engel, who spent the previous three years as the assistant principal at Lloyd Memorial High School, was named the newest principal at Arnett, taking over for David Palmore, who is now the assistant superintendent of the Erlanger-Elsmere School District. “It’s really just an overwhelming feeling of excitement to have this opportunity,” said Engel, who attended Arnett as a kindergartner. “There’s definitely a lot of new challenges, but I’m looking forward to this, because I think it’s going to be great.” Engel, who also taught for seven years at Lloyd, said he is most excited about working with the students upon their return

he’s spent a good part of his life in the district, first as a student and later as an employee. He recalled riding his bike as a kid around Arnett, and also later coaching the Arnett basketball team when he was a college student. “I’m really in a familiar setting, and I think that makes this transition much smoother,” he said. “I know this community, and I love working in this community, so I’ve never had a desire to leave.” With about one month until the students come back to class, Engel
said he’s been busy getting acquainted with the job, including meeting teachers, arranging his office and getting the building ready for the year. In addition to working with the kids, he said he’s also looking forward to building relationships with the teachers and staff as they start coming back to school to prepare their rooms for the year. “These are people I’m going to be working side-by-side with, so it’s important to me that we build good relationships, “ he said. “I’ve started doing that a little, and it’s really exciting for me to get to work with such good people.” As he heads into his first year, Engel said he’s just hoping to maintain the family atmosphere that exists at the school, and continue building on the success of the previous administrators. “This is a special place, and I’m glad to be a part of it,” he said. “There’s a lot of challenges coming up, but there’s no question this is where I want to be.”
CCS student has book published Julie Heyob, Language Arts teacher at Calvary Christian School inspires her students to read, write well and succeed in all their pursuits. Last year she began teaching a Creative Writing class for Calvary Christian School and encouraged one student in particular, a promising eighth grader named Nathan Petrie, to the extent that he has become a published author. Humble as can be, Heyob takes little credit. “Nathan’s writing style is much more advanced than that of your average middle school student,” Heyob said. “Words pour from Nathan’s mind and imagination with ease. It is something that is natural for him.” Petrie’s book, “Whispers out of the Darkness,” was published by Jeremiah Press in June 2009 and is a collection of fourteen short stories. His fantasy stories all center around the theme of deliverance.
Petrie sees this theme as such an important aspect of his life that he finds it impossible to separate it from his writing. He is compelled to show others of the deliverance that he has found through Jesus Christ. To demonstrate this point, Petrie wrote in the title story a call to all those who share his beliefs, “Stand tall now and proclaim what you have seen. Speak in whispered roars. Be cunning as serpents and gentle as doves … [for] you have been delivered.” For years Nathan has written such stories. When he was in the fourth grade, he began writing a novel that he hopes to see published soon as well.

Fourth grade students at Kenton Elementary took part in a ribbon cutting celebration to dedicate the Community Vegetable Garden at Kenton Elementary earlier this summer. The garden has been developed by fourth grade students and their teachers, as well as many other community partners. The produce from the garden is being harvested now and will be donated in the fall to Action Ministries.
Program helps parents step up for schools By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Eleven Kenton County parents will undergo training this fall to make a difference in their children’s schools. More than 1,500 parents have been trained by The Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership (CIPL), which was developed and sponsored by the Prichard Committee Academic excellence, an independent, non-profit, citizens’ advocacy organization. CIPL educates parents on how to evaluate schools, how to get involved and encourage other parents to get involved with education to make the biggest learning impact on a school’s students. April Roberts-Traywick, a community support coordinator for the Prichard Committee, said 61 parents all over Kentucky were trained in the program last year. This year it’s up to 69. “There is a desire and I think the word is getting out,” she said. Parents go through six days of training over three months. During that time parents are asked to start building relationships with the school of their choice; they

Northern Kentucky will have 35 parents in the Prichard Committee’s Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership this fall. Pictured are graduates of CIPL class 2008. meet the principal and gather information for their final implementation project. “It provides parents with the
opportunity to learn how to build relationships and communication skills with administrators and teachers. They can then go back
in and work on a project that will increase student achievement,” Roberts-Traywick said. Parents also learn educational
jargon and how to read test scores and work with a school’s comprehensive plan. One parent who graduated from CIPL in 2000 implemented a science program at Kenton Elementary that doubled science scores in four years, Roberts-Traywick said. “If you’re not happy with the school, go at it with a positive attitude and come back with a solution,” she said. Taylor Mill resident Marilyn Stevens, a 2008 graduate of CIPL, chose to focus on Scott High School. The project she is currently working on is starting “Eagle Magazine,” a student written, edited and designed publication focusing on the student body. Stevens hopes the magazine would provide students with a tangible reason to improve their writing skills. “The writing needed improvement and this will give students a purpose to write – instead of teachers saying create something out of your mind, having a reason and a purpose to write will give students more of a desire to write and do a good job,” she said.

Rollergirls live many lives Black-N-Bluegrass Roster
akiefaber@nky.com
Jenni Schultz recently sprinted through the woods of her Price Hill neighborhood trying to track down her dog, Gracie, who escaped from her leash. After tracking Gracie down, Schultz left her at home, strapped on her roller stakes and chased her Black-N-Bluegrass Roller Derby teammates through the rink at the Florence Fundome. To her teammates, Schultz is better known as Florence Nite-NHell, a tough 5-foot-9 38-year-old blocker that has battled through numerous knee injuries. Outside of the Fundome, she is a nurse and a mother that dons combat boots and a unique red and blue hairdo. “Florence balances out Jenni,” said Schultz of her alter ego. “I can dress in my scrubs and I love time with my patients, but I also absolutely love ‘bout day’ (games) when I can do my makeup like David Bowie, wear spankies and fishnets and knock the crap out of people.” Her daughter, Ginger, doesn’t necessary share the love of the sport. “All you guys do is skate around in a circle,” Ginger told her mom one day at roller derby practice. “Ah, no, it is a little bit more than that,” Florence Nite-N-Hell said. To the unknowing fan, roller derby appears to be a bunch of women on roller skates skating in a circle and randomly ramming into each other. To roller girls and others that follow the sport, roller derby can be a complicated game that requires multiple days worth of practice each week. However, while some are attracted to the sport because of the strategy, most are there to see the collisions. The collisions don’t just bring

in the fans, but also fellow rollergirls. Meet Kallie Jo of Erlanger, a 21-year-old bill collector, who describes herself as somewhat of a “pushover” in her day-to-day life. At night, Jo, known in the roller derby circuit as Scary Garcia, describes herself as “fearless.” “I call people at home and at work to try to collect on accounts that they defaulted on and I pretty much get yelled at and hung up on all day,” Jo said of her day job. “The good thing about derby, especially when I have a real frustrating day, is that it is nice to go out and hit people without getting in trouble for it.” There are many more out there like Schultz and Jo, like Joyce Leonard, who is 39-year-old mother of two who is trying to finish nursing school while working as cocktail waitress at McCormick & Schmick’s in downtown Cincinnati. Her customers know her as Joyce, but her teammates and co-
workers know her as Tiki Von Sexron. Leonard grew up watching roller derby as a child in San Diego, Calif., when she fell in love with the sport and dreamed to play it one day. “Participating in roller derby to me is like a little mini pop star dream. You know when you are a little kid and think, ‘I want to do this when I grow up and I would love to that when I grow up,’ and then life actually gets in the way,’” Leonard said. “This is my little piece of reclaiming that little bit of childhood.” There are many more various types of rollergirls who make up the Black-N-Bluegrass squad. To see these women of all walks of life take down the opposition, catch a home bout at the Fundome, 7864 Commerce Drive, Florence. This week, July 25, they will take on the Lafayette Brawlin Dolls at 7 p.m. For more information, visit black-n-bluegrass.com.

Soccerama to celebrate sport’s history By James Weber jweber@nky.com
John Horton is hoping to create new soccer fans in Northern Kentucky. Horton, the former long-time 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

Saturday, Aug. 8 (evening session): 5 p.m., Boone County vs. Dixie Heights; 6:30 p.m., Pendleton County vs. Scott; 8 p.m., Covington Catholic vs. Newport Central Catholic; 9:30 p.m., Ryle vs. Brossart. 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 said. “I was a witness or heard the story. It’s a labor of love. I love the high school game.”

Barbour reflects on faith, family, career
To say that Katelyn Barbour’s career with the Morehead State volleyball team was successful would be more than an understatement. The Simon Kenton product finished her career ranked second in all-time career assists at MSU, and was top-10 in the Ohio Valley Conference in assists. She also posted the sophomore and junior class records for assists. Her collegiate career was not without its challenges, but with the support of her family, teammates, and faith Barbour proved that success is a matter of heart. Ironically, Barbour almost never became an Eagle. “From early on in the recruiting process I always had my eye on Morehead. I loved Jaime (Gordon) and began our correspondence after participating in a couple camps with him,” Barbour said. “It always seemed like a good fit but little did I know the odds were against me. Jaime regretfully informed me that he was interested, but didn’t have a spot for me seeing

that the 2005 setting position was already locked up.” Despite not having a spot for Barbour, Gordon dropped her name to many of his colleagues in the volleyball coaching ranks. At a volleyball camp, Barbour’s mother overheard Gordon talking to another coach about her. “I wrote him that night, thanking him for building me up and keeping his word. At this point, I am convinced God intervened and worked through Jaime to get me where he wanted me, at Morehead,” says Barbour. "Jaime responded by telling me that he had been talking me up with all these other coaches and he finally realized that all these great things he was selling to other coaches, he himself wanted.” Right out of the gate Barbour was faced with challenges. With the departure of another setter, she was left as the only player to fill that critical role. “My talent was very raw and rough around the edges,” Barbour said. “I knew there were moments of doubt and frustration
within coach, but he continued to train me like there was no tomorrow. I can honestly say I bought into his system and his philosophy with all of my heart and trusted he knew where he was taking me.” Gordon said Katelyn is the kind of player you want. “There are a lot of coaches who can go their whole career and not have a player like that. She’s hard working, humble, and really focused on the team concept. She takes a lot of pride in what she’s doing,” Gordon said. Just as Barbour was starting to buy into the system and blossom as a setter her career was interrupted by a severe knee injury. Midway through her freshman season she suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament that put her out of action for the rest of the season. Her absence was felt by the rest of the team as well. Without their setter, the Eagles went 6-26 in 2005. Despite the injury she posted 739 assists in her rookie season. “The injury that she had may have done more for her career than being healthy all the way through,” says Gordon. “You never want someone to go through that but in hindsight, I think it really allowed for her to appreciate what she had. It also allowed us to get really down to the basics.” Barbour returned for her sophomore season and quickly picked up where she left off. In 2006 she posted 1,652 assists. She followed that performance with a 1,535 assist junior season. In her final season at MSU, she only posted 752 assists, but played a dual role as a setter and as a hitter. She finished her MSU career with 4,678 career assists. “The role that she played her senior year is a perfect reflection of what she did off the court,” says Gordon. “There are so many facets to her and a whole bunch of different layers she brings to the team. To have her as an attacker and setter is really a reflection of what she means to the team.”

Do you think the economic stimulus plan is working, or should the federal government implement another round of stimulus packages?
“The stimulus is not working in the way it was intended because it includes only $400 annually in middle-class tax cuts and allots most of its money to state officials that don’t have the economy’s best interests at heart. It seems to be more of a publicity stunt – I remember an NBC Nightly News segment stating that road signs were being put up at construction sites to advertise the positive benefits of the stimulus; these signs cost $1,200 each in stimulus funds. Also, the money is coming too slowly: barely 10 percent of it has even been released yet. The economy can benefit only from Americans being sensible about their money and not taking out risky loans on houses, which was where this mess started. God forbid that the politicians should doubt the intelligence of their constituents so much that they feel the need to throw another pile of money on the fire.” Totten13

Fighting the flu on two fronts There’s a new flu in town: The H1N1 flu, commonly referred to as the swine flu. And boy, is this new disease getting attention. As we prepare for the fall, we’re faced with an unprecedented task of fighting the flu on two fronts, with the seasonal flu making its annual appearance in our area as the swine flu still lingers.
Seasonal flu
The new flu has gotten so much publicity, it’s easy to forget just how dangerous and widespread the seasonal flu is. Each year, 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population comes down with the seasonal flu. In Northern Kentucky, 673 cases of seasonal flu were reported during the 2008-2009 season. Keep in mind that the number of reported cases is low – many people with flu don’t see their doctor or aren’t tested. Nationwide, 36,000 people die from seasonal flu each year and more than 200,000 are hospitalized. Two groups see the biggest impact from seasonal flu: It causes the most complications in senior citizens, with 90 percent of seasonal flu deaths occurring in those over age 65. It has the highest infection rate, meaning it is spread most easily, among school-age children. To fight the seasonal flu this fall, a vaccine should be available for all those who want it. The Health Department is planning community flu clinics for mid-October and numerous local providers have ordered seasonal flu vaccine.
Swine flu
The new H1N1 flu is still emerging, meaning that research on the disease is in its earliest phases. From April through early July, about 34,000 cases of swine flu were reported in the

Experts have noticed a trend Steven R. with the swine Katkowsky, flu that sets it M.D. apart from seasonal flu: It Community does not appear Recorder to be affecting guest the elderly. The columnist Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 60 percent of swine flu cases and 42 percent of hospitalizations were in people age 5 to 24 years old. Studies are under way to determine why this is the case. To fight the swine flu this fall, common sense precautions may be the only option for many. A vaccine is expected to be available, but most likely not for everyone who wishes to receive it. If you aren’t able to be vaccinated, you still can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently and avoiding those who are sick. While there is much uncertainty as we enter this unusual fall flu season, I assure you that your Health Department is ready to respond. We’re busy making plans and monitoring the situation as it emerges. For the latest information, visit our Web site at http://www.nkyhealth.org. But even the best plans could use a little help. The Health Department has 180 staff who will be dedicated to fighting the flu this fall. Imagine how successful our efforts would be if 385,000 Northern Kentucky residents joined the response. Dr. Steven R. Katkowsky is district director of health of the Northern Kentucky Health Department.

Ozone: one gas, many layers Ozone is very much a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde case. It is simply a gas, with the same scientific make-up at all times. However, its location in the atmosphere causes it to take on very different properties. The results are either very helpful or very harmful to health and the environment. The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) wants the region’s two million citizens to know why ozone gas is a big concern. First, there is the Dr. Jekyll of ozone: stratospheric ozone. This could also be known as the “good” type of ozone. Found anywhere from six to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface, stratospheric ozone acts as a natural shield, protecting earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This type of ozone is imperative for life on earth. Unfortunately, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels of the stratospheric ozone have been depleted and have caused a variety of problems including an increase in health concerns such as skin cancer, and environmental concerns such as crop depletion. With stratospheric ozone, preservation and protection are key, unlike its counterpart. Although the other type ozone has the exact same chemical makeup, the Mr. Hyde of ozone
has a different effect on the environment. This form of ozone is known as ground-level ozone. As the name suggests, this it is found Emily in the air closest Feldman to the Earth’s s u r f a c e . Community G r o u n d - l e v e l Press guest ozone is one of columnist the main components in smog, a harmful kind of air pollution. Smog is created through chemical reactions when emissions, such as those from vehicles and industry, react with sunlight or heat, making this a major problem during the summer. Smog poses a serious risk to both humans and the environment. Research from the EPA has shown it can decrease the lungs’ working capacity, causing shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain and coughing. It can also cause eye and nose irritation and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. Long term exposure to smog can permanently scar lung tissue and lead to emphysema, bronchitis and asthma. Furthermore, ground-level ozone is harmful to the environment because it damages crops, trees and other vegetation.
Because of their harmful effects, ground-level ozone and smog are monitored throughout the Greater Cincinnati region. When high levels of ozone are expected in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals. During the warmer months, it is important to pay attention to local media outlets to find out when a smog alert is in effect. Those who have an increased interest can also call 1800-621-SMOG to sign up for smog alert notification when an alert is issued. There are things everyone can do to protect the region from pollution before a smog alert is issued. OKI outlines many simple changes that can help cut down on the harmful emissions that lead to ground-level ozone and smog. Some of these tips include carpooling, riding a bike or walking, refueling and using gasolinepowered lawn equipment after 8 p.m., maintaining vehicles, conserving electricity and spreading the word to others. More information and additional tips to reduce air pollution can be found by visiting www.DoYourShare.org or by calling 1-800-621Emily Feldman is a clean air assistant at the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.
Senator reviews road projects One of the best-kept secrets of the 2009 Regular Session was the record $60 million the General Assembly approved for road funding in Boone County. I am thankful to Senate President David Williams who was responsible for placing these projects in the budget at my request. He is aware of our transportation needs and knows how important roads are for our area. With the lazy hazy days of summer upon us, I thought now would be a good time to give an update on these important road projects for our county. The much talked-about project, the widening of Ky. 237, first phase will begin in November. This is the section of roadway from U.S. 42 to Rose Petal Drive. This project is a federal stimulus money project. Mayor Diane Whalen and the Florence City Council’s top priority Mall Road improvements were funded finally this year. This has been a priority for the city of Florence and it will be good to see this project started soon. This project will be managed by the city of Florence and the state will transfer the funds for this project to the city. We are making progress on one of Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore and the Fiscal Court’s favorite project, the construction of South Airport Road. This important new road will start at Oakbrook Drive on Ky. 18 and proceed south of Airport property and come out on Turfway Road near the cinemas. This is a joint cooperative effort with the Boone
County Fiscal Court, the commonwealth of Kentucky, and OKI for a total of $17 million. Many constituents have contacted me Sen. John with concerns Schickel regarding the Community situation at Ky. (RichRecorder 338 wood) and I-75. guest We have columnist received funding approval for right of ways and utility relocation. I have been working with Congressman Geoff Davis’ office to secure funding to begin improving that interchange as soon as possible, similar to what was completed at Mount Zion Road. In addition, a joint project between Boone County and the state will install a traffic signal and turn lanes at the Richwood Road and Triple Crown intersection. This has been a concern of residents in that neighborhood for some time. The widening of Industrial Road from U.S. 25 to Turkey Foot Road was also funded and will be progressing this summer. This will complete the widening project from U.S. 42 to U.S. 25. Currently, the work continues on the bridge replacement project on Ashby Fork Road. This road will continue to be closed to traffic through the summer, but should be open by the time the school buses roll at the end of August. This project is funded by
$400,000 from the Federal Bridge Replacement funds. The North Bend Road project continues; although slower than what we had hoped. The unique and picturesque roundabouts at Ky. 237 and Graves Road are scheduled to open in the next two to four weeks. Construction will begin on the roundabout at Ky. 270 and Cardinal Way next month. These will be the first roundabouts for Boone County. Ky. 237 bridge rehabilitation over I-275 is currently under way. Hopefully the total project will be completed by late fall 2009. The total cost of this project is $22.5 million. I am happy to report to my constituents in the Hempstead subdivision that the state has agreed to install a traffic light at the corner of Mount Zion Road Gunpowder Road interchange. This light will give priority to Mount Zion Road and will only change if a vehicle on Gunpowder Road triggers the light. We are confident this will relieve congestion during rush hour on Mount Zion Road. In closing, it is a privilege to serve you in Frankfort and I am enjoying it immensely. Please feel free to contact me at 800-3727181 or 502-564-8100, Ext, 617, or by e-mail at http://www.lrc.ky.gov/Mailform/S 011.htm.

Emily Robinson helps at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass.
Robinson helps Ronald McDonald House Emily Robinson, a resident of Florence and graduate from St. Henry District High School, is a communications intern at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass this summer. She is currently an integrated strategic communications student at the University of Kentucky. Growing up in a community where service to others is very important, Emily wanted to work for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass to carry on the service that she learned growing up. Emily has a passion and love for children, and helping the “House that love built” with their communications campaigns combines her professional and personal goals. As an intern, Emily is directing social networking campaigns, such as Face-
book, Twitter and Flicker groups. Emily will also make a commemorative scrapbook for the 25th Year Anniversary Reunion event which will be held in July. She is also assisting the volunteer coordinator with projects to involve awareness at the new Ronald McDonald Family Room located within the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass programs operate primarily with the assistance of volunteers and Emily will be a tremendous asset to communicating the need for support to the public. “Catch a Star” honorees go the extra mile in their jobs or make a difference in the community.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Speak Spanish on the fly By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Fort Wright resident Lori Wall wants you to learn how to speak Spanish on the go. Wall’s business, which focuses on teaching conversational Spanish to private individuals and employees of local companies, is appropriately dubbed “Spanish on the Fly” because “you can do this in your spare time on the fly,” she said. This year is Spanish on the Fly’s fifth anniversary, something Wall, a former Spanish teacher, is proud of. “It is so enriching to
know a second language,” she said. “Many of the Hispanics who are here are learning English, but this way you can bridge the gap between their knowledge of English and your knowledge of Spanish.” Wall holds 12-hour classes for private individuals at locations in Florence, Fort Mitchell and Hyde Park and teaches the same class on-site at any business. In the past, she has worked with hospitals, production facilities, technology companies, real estate and more. “It’s for communication, not for conjugation,” Wall said of her approach, which
focuses more on questions and answers rather than the grammar of Spanish. “It’s for practical use.” However, in addition to her beginner conversation Spanish classes, Wall also teaches intermediate and advanced-level classes that focus on the more traditional approach of becoming fluent in a language. “It’s been great to see the amount of conversational Spanish they can pick up in a short amount of time,” Wall said. For details on classes and locations, visit spanishonthefly.com or call 3414117. Class fees start at $150 for the general public.

Life
Today’s marriages as predicted 40 years ago The wedding season is upon us. It runs from spring to late autumn. It’s anybody’s guess how many weddings occurred just this last weekend. Today’s weddings occur in a sociological atmosphere quite different from that of a couple’s parents and grandparents. The current atmosphere we’ve collectively spawned over the years is no friend of the newly married, or long-married for that matter. Didn’t we ever see where we were going? Someone did. In 1970 an interesting book, “Future Shock,� was written by Alvin Toffler. He was a sociology professor at Cornell University who conducted research into future value systems. From this research he predicted what our culture could expect in the fast-arriving future and how it
would affect our lives. He showed how we were fast forming a “throw-awayâ€? society. This, in turn, would lead us to adopt a concept of transience – a new “temporarinessâ€? in everyday life as well as a mood of impermanence. This Age of Transience would soon affect our relationship with people, but also our attitude toward things, places, ideas, as well as toward institutions and organizations. He wrote, “The people of the future will live in a condition of ‘high transience’ – a condition in which the duration of relationships is cut short ‌ things, places, people, ideas, and organizational structures will all get ‘used up’ more quickly.â€? Permanent commitment to anything would become passĂŠ. Before most of last week’s
brides and grooms were even born, Toffler predicted that success in the marriage of the future would come to be determined by the degree to which matched development actually occurs between spouses. Love would be determined by the degree of shared growth, not necessarily by the giving of self. Yet, he goes on to say, “The mathematical odds are heavily stacked against any couple achieving this ideal of parallel growth. The odds plummet when the rate of change in a society accelerates, as it is now doing. “In a fast-moving society in which ‌ the family is again and again torn loose from home and community, in which individuals move further from their parents, further from the religion of origin, and further from traditional values, it is almost miraculous if two
One-stop women’s cancer screening for
eligible Northern Kentucky residents Local women have an opportunity to be screened for breast and cervical cancers during the Prevention Pays women's cancer screening days, coordinated by the Northern Kentucky Health Department and the Northern Kentucky Women's Cancer Coalition. Upcoming dates, locations and hours are: • 8 a.m. to noon Friday, July 24, at the Kenton County Health Center, 2002 Madison Ave., Covington, 859-4313345. • 8 a.m. to noon Friday, Aug. 7, at the Boone County Health Center, 7505 Burlington Pike, Florence, 859-363-2060. • 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. Friday,
Sept. 18, at the Grant County Health Center, 234 Barnes Road, Williamstown, 8245074. On the designated screening days, eligible women will be able to have an annual exam including a pap smear, pelvic exam and clinical breast exam performed by a nurse practitioner, as well as receive a mammogram in the mobile mammography unit from St. Elizabeth Healthcare, which will be parked outside the health center. To be eligible for the screening, women must be between the ages of 40 and 64, have an income below 250 percent of the federal poverty guidelines (currently $26,000 annually for
a single-person household and $53,000 annually for a fourperson household), and not be enrolled in a private health insurance plan, Medicare or Medicaid. Appointments are required for the screenings, and women are asked to schedule their appointments in advance. For more information on the Prevention Pays screening days or other women's health programs at the Health Department, call 341-4264 or visit www.nkyhealth.org.

people develop at anything like comparable rates.� Dire words! And now, almost 40 years later, our own observations bear him out. Human relationships have become more transient and the development of genuine love more tenuous. Love is now sought in serial marriages or clandestine affairs. In 1970 Toffler claimed that in the future those who marry will have an average of three marriages in their lifetime: the first for the expression of sexuality; the second for procreating children; and the third for companionship. “There will be some,� he predicted, “who, through luck, interpersonal skill and high intelligence, will find it possible to make long-lasting monogamous marriages work. Some will succeed in

Got garden vegetables? Make frittata, slaw When we plant our vegetable garden, it seems like forever before it starts bearing. Then all of a sudden, I’m inundated with cucumbers, zucchinis and Rita tomatoes. Then Heikenfeld the corn Rita s kitchen comes on and we’re eating corn every night. I’m not complaining; in fact, I feel more than blessed. But the thing is I need to clone myself just like I clone recipes for you. Anybody got ideas how to do that? Oh, and by the way, if you do figure out a way to clone me, I’ve got a few changes I’d like to make.
Frittatas are popular now: Mark Bittman of the New York Times has his ver-

In an oven-proof 10- or 11-inch skillet, melt butter and saute onions until translucent. Add 1 teaspoon of Mexican seasoning, stir in sausage, peppers and onions. Whisk eggs with cream.

For Shari Weber, Anderson Township, and several others. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,� she told me about this Anderson Township eatery. Well, after Trew, kitchen manager/chef got the OK to share this, turns out the “secret� could either be the celery seed or the restaurant’s own from-scratch mayo. “We want to serve our customers the best homemade food,� John Broshar, co-owner told me.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen
1. Zucchini: Leave peel on if you like (I like). When packing for freezer, put more shredded zucchini in the container than you think you’ll need. When thawing, push out excess liquid if using in baked goods. That way you’ll get enough. 2. Don’t overmix bread batter! That includes zucchini, banana or other quick bread batter! Remember, it’s a “quick bread� bat-
ter and that means to stir wet ingredients into dry very gently until moistened. Overmixing makes for a dense, sometimes gooey, bread with “tunnels.�
Delicious drinks that lower blood pressure
Water (you knew that, right?), hibiscus tea (most herb teas contain hibiscus), grape juice. Careful with energy drinks – check caffeine content, which can elevate blood pressure. Pucker up: A squeeze of lemon juice in your first glass of water helps form and repair collagen, is a gentle liver cleanser, and is great for your immune system and stress. Plus, the vitamin C helps your body absorb iron better. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

Leadership honors Chris Goddard Pat Hunt Hoffmann Contributor
Chris Goddard was a champion of affordable, accessible health care long before it became part of the national consciousness. As CEO of HealthPoint Family Care - a private, nonprofit primary care medical and dental practice in Northern Kentucky - Goddard created a network of clinics that serve the region's residents regardless of their ability to pay. He has opened the hearts of the community and opened the door to care for the indigent, and as a result, he is recognized as one of Leadership Northern Kentucky's Leaders of Distinction. “Under Chris' leadership, HealthPoint has nearly dou-
bled its patient roster and opened five new medical offices,” said Dan Tobergte, president and CEO of Tri-Ed and the person who nominated Goddard for the award. HealthPoint began as a part-time volunteer effort in 1971 to provide health care to the poor. Today, HealthPoint serves 34,000 patients with a team of more than 75 health care professionals at offices in Covington, Latonia, and Bellevue. Additionally, HealthPoint operates the Pike Street Clinic for the Homeless in Covington, school-based health centers, and a mobile dental office. Goddard, who has been at the helm of HealthPoint for 10 years, deserves much
nal o i s s e f o r &P Business
of the credit for the expansion. Michael J. Hammons, past president of Vision 2015, said Goddard is indeed a Leader of Distinction. “The reasons go beyond the fact that Chris has strong leadership skills, cares deeply for the community, and works long hours on behalf of others and the betterment of the community,” Hammons said. “The reason I find Chris so worthy of this award is his strong faith, his uncompromising good cheer, and single focus in the face of whatever odds obstruct his way.” In addition to his work at HealthPoint, Goddard serves on the board of directors for the Northern Ken-

Moisture may not be the answer Question: I planted several trees and shrubs this spring and summer. They seem to be wilting and dying, even though I water them every day or two, and I have fertilized them several times as well. What am I doing wrong? Answer : Wilting plants and shrubs do not always need more water or fertilizer. When sunny weather returns after a rainy period, or even after watering new trees every day or two, wilting of the newly planted tree or shrub may cause you to think it needs more water. In fact, the soil might be saturated, making extra moisture one thing the shrubs and
plants do not need. Periods of rainy weather or excessive irrigation will saturate the soil with water, especially in low areas, forcing air out of the soil so roots cannot breathe. This sometimes causes root death and plant growth slows down due to lack of oxygen and buildup of other gasses such as carbon dioxide or ethylene. This situation often leads to root rot and decline of the plant. As sunny weather returns, plants become stressed and begin to rapidly lose moisture through the leaves. However, they cannot replace the moisture fast enough because water-saturated soil has stressed the roots. Once the soils become

Free, but call 586-6101 to register, or enroll at www.ca.uky.edu/boone. less saturated, the roots usually will re-grow and shoot growth will resume. Waiting a while before watering usually will alleviate the saturated soil situation. Most trees, shrubs, flowers, lawns, gardens and orchards only need watered every seven to 10 days. Apply one inch of water all in one application, then wait a week or more, especially if natural rainfall occurs. Like many guidelines, these tips have an exception that pertains to potted
plants, which may need watered every day during the summer. When wilting occurs in plants recently planted in pots with loose potting media, do not delay watering because the roots already may have used all available moisture in the loose material. Garden plants also may wilt during the hot afternoon, but typically revive by the next morning because they absorb moisture overnight. Impatiens are a good example of this. It is always best to water
plants early in the day, and only when they need it. Mike Klahr Check the Community soil around Recorder plants in guest beds or concolumnist tainers with your finger. A moisture meter may also be helpful in determining watering needs. A soil probe may be necessary to check moisture around newly planted trees and shrubs. If you encounter moisture, it probably is best to wait another day or two before watering. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms.
