City sewer refunds are on the way By Regan Coomer

Refund checks for wrongfully collected sewer fees could appear in Independence residents’ mailboxes The class action suit William Cobble v. City of Independence begun in 2006 was resolved in April 2009 in favor of residents who paid a sewer maintenance fee to the city from 1999 to 2005 after the sewer system had already been turned over to Sanitation District No.1. Residents and businesses will receive a cut of an $803,000 settlement less 24.5 percent in attorney fees and a $2,500 payment to Cobble as class representative. Since April, a firm has been working to determine what portion of the settlement each resident or business will receive. Bottom Line Associates of Fort
Mitchell, the accounting firm hired, has been aided by the city, county and SD-1 since April to make the list of recipients as accurate as possible, said Brandon Voelker, attorney on behalf of the residents. “They’ve almost been hand checking it to make sure the right people are in it,” Voelker said. “Once it’s done, it’s done.” The process has taken longer, Voelker said, because residents and businesses were not required to submit information to receive a refund; instead, if you lived or owned a business in the city during that time, you automatically receive a refund. “We’re not making people do anything other than cash a check,” he said. Between 5,000-6,000 residents and businesses will get sewer monies back. An average household probably paid about
More information The $803,000 settlement of William Cobble v. City of Independence to residents and businesses wrongfully charged sewer maintenance fees from 1999 to 2005 does not include monies received from Fowler Creek residents during the same time. Fowler Creek assessment funds have been retained by the city per ordinance 2001-O-11 to pay back the $7 million bond used to construct a sewer system in that area. For more information, visit cityofindependence.org. $25 a year to the city and will likely receive an $80 to $100 refund, Voelker said. Bigger institutions such as schools will receive a bigger portion of the settlement because they paid more initially. Portions were calculated using
SD-1 billing records from five or six quarters, determining an average and “extrapolating back,” Voelker said. Independence City Clerk Pat Taney said she and her staff have reviewed the list of recipients compiled by Bottom Line Associates to check for accuracy. Taney said the staff used their years of experience at the city to find residents on the list who weren’t in city limits, who use a septic tank as opposed to public sewers and some residents who should get a refund, but were listed with a zero balance. “We want to see people get the refund who should get it back,” she said. Voelker hopes the suit’s outcome will encourage people to pay more attention to their bills. “Sometimes people are hit with charges quite frankly they shouldn’t be paying,” he said.
Off Pike festival calling for artists’ work By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Covington has doubled the number of artists who can participate in the Fifth Annual Art Off Pike Festival Oct. 10, but 50 spots are still available for creative types in Greater Cincinnati. Deadline for submission is Aug. 15 and so far only 50 artists have signed up for the festival, which takes place on Seventh and Pike streets between Madison and Russell. Art Off Pike provides a fewand-far-between opportunity to showcase your art or craft, said Natalie Bowers, Covington Arts District Manager. “It’s a great chance for artists to not only share their wares, but also to see who’s around,” she said. “It’s a great chance to see who’s who and cross pollinate with other artists.” Local artists shouldn’t be put off if they’re not painters or sculptors, Bowers said; all media can be featured in the show. “We really really want to welcome new faces,” she said. “If you’re making stationery, come; if you’re making homemade textiles, come.” Cost is $40 for artists to display their art at the festival. Artists receive 100 percent of sales and are also eligible for cash prizes

Customers were caught in the act of treasure hunting at the 2008 Art Off Pike Festival. from a jury. First place will receive $500, second place $300 and third place $200. Art Off Pike is not restricted to Covington residents. In fact, Bowers hopes the festival will draw artists and art enthusiasts from all over Greater Cincinnati, not just Covington. “We’re not recognizing geo-
graphical boundaries. We see this as a region,” Bowers said. “We want the artists that are in Cincinnati to feel welcome and we want to offer the regional audience for the artists to have a reason to come visit us here.” Art Off Pike chairman Ron Einhaus said the festival improves and grows every year.
“I think this year’s going to be exciting,” he said. “The whole goal is to highlight more artists.” To register to showcase your art in the Art Off Pike Festival, visit covingtonarts.com or artoffpike.com. Artists can also call Bowers at 292-2322 for more information. Registration deadline is Aug. 15.
County animal shelter seeks volunteers By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Deb Marvin’s entrance to the dog adoption center in the Kenton County Animal Shelter is greeted each day with a myriad of wagging tails, excited barks and rattling of cages as the dogs bounce around, hoping to catch her attention. “You come in here and see all of their faces, and you end up just wanting to take them all home,”
Navigate your way to the right car for you.
said Marvin. “This is just such a cool way to be around them and help out.” Marvin is one of about 15 volunteers at the shelter, which recently celebrated the grand opening of a new wing, allowing them to care for even more dogs and cats. With the additional space and the ability to hold more animals for longer periods of time, Volunteer Coordinator Elizabeth Cochran said the shelter is actively seeking more volunteers.
“Because we can hold animals longer, we really have a need for more people who can help out,” said Cochran. “It really is a rewarding experience for anyone who loves animals, and we’d love to get some more people in here.” Cochran said the volunteers must be at least 18 years old, and willing to work at least 12 hours each week, with tasks ranging from serving as an adoption counselor to cleaning cages to answering phones and greeting visitors.
Diana Curtis, who started volunteering in March at the shelter, said she enjoys seeing all of the animals each day, and especially loves being a part of the adoption process. “It’s a great feeling when you match up a family with the dog or cat they want and see them go home happy,” she said. “Those are the best days for us here.” For more information about the shelter or to become a volunteer, call 356-7400.

An ordinance allowing outdoor dining in the city could be in Crescent Springs’ future, but for now, council takes requests as

KJ’s Pub in Crescent Springs is working to get plans approved for an outdoor dining patio that would take up about four spaces directly in front. Currently, Crescent Springs Council is not satisfied on the feasibility or safety of the plan. this day and age, you got to have it.� Busch had hoped to put in a patio that would take up about four spaces in the lot directly in front of KJ’s that would fit eight to 10 tables for outdoor dining. Adding a patio could bring more business to the shopping center, Busch said. “Anything we can do to help the center grow is a good thing,� he said. While Collett has no problem with outdoor dining in other areas of the city, he doesn’t think outdoor dining at KJ’s Pub is a “good idea.� “When you do something like this and you’re trying to fit something
where it doesn’t quite work, if you permit it there what’s the person around the block going to do? You’re just going to open up a can of worms and if you’ve got a situation that’s just not safe, why would you do it?� Collett asked. Outdoor dining applications need to be “scrutinized� by council individually, Collett said, who should ask themselves “Does this really make sense? Is this really in the best interest of the city?� Council did discuss allowing KJ’s to have an outdoor patio if the entrance next to the business were closed off. Busch, however, doesn’t think closing an entrance is
a viable solution. “That’s not my entrance-way to shut down and I think that would be a worse thing for the shopping center to close an entrance and exit,� he said. KJ’s Pub recently submitted plans to the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission where they were rejected. Currently Busch’s hired engineer is reviewing the plans again, which he eventually hopes to re-submit to the NKAPC. “We’re trying to go about this the right way,� Busch said. “It’s just frustrating, especially when you turn on the TV and see someone close their doors and lose everything every day.�

Left, left, left, right, left. Kenton County School District Academic Coaches reported for duty to central office administrators decked out in fatigues at a three-day boot camp Aug. 4 through Aug. 6. The boot camp trained coaches to assist elementary and middle school teachers with curriculum and instructional strategies. “Their role will be to work with teachers; help them analyze data, model lessons, improve Response to Instruction (RTI) and find resources,” said Barb Martin, assistant superintendent of Academic and Student Support Services. There are many teachers for one principal at a school, Martin
said. To make sure every teacher’s question is answered, the academic coach initiative was started two years ago in district middle schools. This year the initiative will expand to elementary schools. Topics such as reading and math strategies, behavior/classroom management and special education were discussed at the boot camp. If a teacher is having trouble getting students to understand a certain lesson or he or she can’t find the materials needed, an academic coach will suggest lessons or find the books, smart board, etc. that the teacher needs. “It was a really good experience,” said Denise Schmaide, who was a middle school academic coach who will start at White’s

Brown works to keep arts and humanities teachers in touch and to make sure their concerns and comments are known at the district level. “The teachers appreciate someone being an advocate and a voice for them,” she said. Martin said she was “excited” to see what the results of the academic coaching will be. “The whole goal of this is to have these people in the trenches with the teachers,” she said.

Nick Webber and Steven Bohman are warning the business world right now...they’re ready. “I definitely think I could start my own business some day,” said Webber, while Bohman nodded his approval. “We learned a lot, and I think it would be pretty fun one day.” Webber and Bohman were two of the approximately 25 students who participated in the 4H MiniSociety program, sponsored by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. The week-long program taught the students how to become entrepreneurs, as they learned everything from types of corporate structures to supply and demand economics to scarcity principles. “It’s a pretty complex program because there is so much to learn, but they do really well with it,” said 4H extension agent Mary Averbeck. “It’s proven to be a really good learning tool for them to have, and I think the kids have a good time with it.” In addition to their entrepreneurial lessons all week, the students actually had to design products, earn start-up cash and successfully run their own business. At the end of the week, they set up tables to display their goods for parents and grandparents, hoping to make a profit. The items for sale ranged from brownies and cookies to snow globes, flower baskets, stress balls, keychains and pillows. The students designed signs to advertise their business and attract cus-

Pandas to lead Kenton County teams St. Henry
0By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com
Since 1979, only three nonLouisville volleyball programs have won the state title. All three of those schools, Notre Dame, Villa Madonna and St. Henry are located in Kenton County. The Pandas have won the title eight times, the last championship coming in 1994. Since then, a Louisville school (Assumption, Sacred Heart and Mercy) has won the state title the last 14 seasons.
Notre Dame
According to the recently released preseason poll conducted by the Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association (KVCA), Notre Dame Academy is No. 4 in the state. The Pandas feature one of the best liberos in Kentucky, Leslie Schellhaas, who is the vocal leader of this Notre Dame team. “We are very excited. Every time we come in the gym we are ready to go, we are ready to bring back the Notre Dame tradition of winning state,” Schellhaas said. “We want to be the top team and be able to beat the Louisville teams.” Last year, Notre Dame finished with a 29-5 record and won the 9th Region championship before losing to eventual state champion Mercy in the second round of the playoffs. Notre Dame will return senior middle hitters Jaimie Wulfeck and Liz Barton. The Pandas will also return senior outside hitter Morgan Ebner. Senior setter Brooke Jones will be called upon to replace graduated senior Jenna Schreiver (Northern Kentucky University). The Pandas, under head coach Andrea Lanham, begin their season at 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 13, at Cooper.
Similar to Notre Dame, St. Henry is respected by the rest of the state and was voted No. 6 in the preseason poll conducted by the KVCA. The Crusaders finished 28-10 last season and was runner-up to Notre Dame in the 9th Region. St. Henry loses five seniors from last year’s team due to graduation and will feature a young roster this season. However, head coach Maureen Kaiser said, “the squad is surrounded by some strong hitters” in junior outside hitter Taryn Ward, freshman outside hitter Rachel Fortner and junior outside hitter Kelsey Zwick. The middle will feature senior Erin Fortner and freshman Abbey Bessler. Kaiser, who has more than 433 career wins as a head coach, is expected to have another great team. The Crusaders first home match will be 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 20, against Sacred Heart.
Scott
It is a tough task getting past Notre Dame and St. Henry in the 9th Region, but Scott and head coach Andrea Sullivan have the talent to compete. The Eagles will be led by a trio of juniors named Lauren – Lauren O’Conner, Lauren Tibbs and Lauren Trame. O’Conner, who has already verbally committed to play at the University of Kentucky, led Scott in kills (348), blocks (87) and aces (82) last season. Tibbs, who is also one the area’s best basketball players, had 311 kills and 51 blocks last season. Trame led the team in digs (220) last year. O’Conner (6-foot-4) and Tibbs (6-foot-3) can intimidate opponents with their size and with their nickname, “The Twin Tow-

Ludlow
The Panthers return eight players from last year’s 19-12 team. While Ludlow graduated many of its taller players and statistical leaders, head coach Jodi Schmidt is still confident in her team. “I believe this year’s team has the potential to surprise a lot of people,” said Schmidt, who is entering her ninth season as Ludlow’s head coach. “Our underclassmen have really stepped up their game, and this is without a doubt the quickest and most athletic team I have coached during my tenure at Ludlow.” Ludlow is returning seniors Courtney Turner, Kati Massey and Megan Vohl. Senior libero Rebekah Cooper also returns after missing last season due to a knee injury. Cooper started as a sophomore. The Panthers begin their season at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 13, at home against Conner.
Simon Kenton
The Pioneers were ranked No. 3 this preseason in the 9th Region by the KVCA. Last year, Simon Kenton finished 19-20 and was the runnerup to Scott in the 34th District Tournament. Simon Kenton and head coach Andrea Atwood will face Scott Sept. 5 at 8 p.m. Simon Kenton didn’t provide additional information before deadline.
Calvary Christian
Calvary Christian finished 1812 last season. The Cougars, under head coach Roger Sanders, began its home schedule Aug. 12 against Lloyd Aug. 12 at 6 p.m. Calvary didn’t provide additional information before deadline.

Swimming at her first Ohio LSC Junior Olympic competition (the equivalent of a state meet for age group swimmers in USA swimming) in March she won the 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard butterfly events marking her as one of the top swimmers in the Ohio LSC for the 10 and under age group. Since then she has followed that success by winning the Ohio LSC Open Water Championship for
10U girls. This is a one kilometer competition swam in East Fork Lake. She was also part of the Cincinnati Marlins Open Water relay team that won the 10U girls championship. Recently, she broke a 16-yearold Cincinnati Marlin team record when she swam the 50-meter butterfly in 33.26 in the championship final at the TYR Sport Summer Classic swim meet. Markie is also an accomplished student and was recognized with the President’s Award for Academic Achievement this spring. Her coach Tammi Karn-Morris says of Markie, “She is a perfectionist, always working hard and trying to better herself. She rarely misses practice and is incredibly dedicated.”

Students caught up in fun of shooting By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Trap shooting is a sport people of all ages can excel in. For the 11th year, a group of young people are taking part in the Northern Kentucky Scholastic Trap Shooting. About 56 Northern Kentucky students participated in a state championship tournament June 30 in Berea, Ky. It was part of the National Scholastic Trap Shooting Program for college students and younger. Locals have the opportunity to qualify for the national tournament in Illinois in July. “It’s fun,� said David Abell, an incoming sophomore at Simon Kenton High School. “We’re shooting with people we know and it’s a good time. You meet new people and do new things.� The team, which practices at outdoor clubs in Alexandria and Kenton, has stu-

In trap shooting, competitors use shotguns to break a four-inch clay target going 40 miles an hour from the trap house. In competition the shooters try to break all 100 targets. The best shooters on the local team often score in the 90s and occasionally a perfect 100. In the state competition, shooters are in five-person teams, competing in different age levels. Many kids join the program as soon they’re big enough to handle the guns.
Nine-year old Kyle Hounshell is the youngest team member. “I’ve seen kids come in at 10 years old and guys who are 90 sitting in a wheelchair and shooting,� said Taylor Bisig of Florence, an incoming sophomore at Cooper High School. “It’s a diverse group. I think it’s cool that anybody can do it.� Dennis Menning, the team’s head coach, said learning responsibility is a major goal of the program. Safely handling the guns is
a high priority in his teaching, and the mental focus required to excel in the sport can carry over to other facets of life. “It is a physical and mental game all in one,� Menning said. “When you are out there shooting, it is all up to the shooter to keep his head in the game. If you miss a target you have to forget about it and get prepared for the next target and try not to make the same mistake again.� A lot of the shooters

EDITORIALS
Go fish
Donnie McDermott, 5 of Villa Hills, proudly holds up his catch at the annual St Joseph Festival in Crescent Springs on Saturday, Aug. 8.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Our District Representative, Geoff Davis, didn’t serve his constituents well using his column to quote radical opinions instead of educating us on H.R. 3200 America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. I googled the H.R. 3200 bill and read a simple 4 page summary for myself. Representative Davis quoted this opinion in his column: “the legislation is a stepping stone to single-payer insurance controlled by a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington..” In fact Rep. Davis knows the bill protects current coverage allowing individuals to keep the insurance they have if they like it – and preserves choice of doctors, hospitals and health plans. Representative Davis enjoys health coverage run by government bureaucrats and seems to be very satisfied. What’s the difference between a government bureaucrat and an insurance bureaucrat anyway? Rep. Davis offered up another quote stating, “ I don’t want to wait in long lines to get the level of health care I need.” Medicare is a government run health care plan and we don’t hear seniors complaining about long lines and lack of care. Public choice models exist in other nations providing citizens both top end medical care equal to the U.S. along with standard and preventive care with outcomes superior to ours. In fact our European economic competitors provide coverage for all with better health outcomes at half the cost we spend in the U.S. Finally Rep. Davis quoted a small business owner who said, “If I was mandated to provide health care for my employees or pay an 8 percent payroll tax penalty, I’d have no choice but to close my business”. Instead of spreading this misconception, Representative Davis might have informed us H.R. 3200 creates shared responsibility among individuals, employers and government. Recognizing the special needs of small business (payroll that does not exceed $250,000) the bill exempts small employers from the employer-sponsored coverage requirement. (That 8 per-

cent only applies to firms with payrolls above $400,000.) In fact, a new small business tax credit will be available to firms who want to provide health coverage to their workers, and they would benefit from a competitive marketplace in which to purchase coverage. Our legislators are entitled to their opinions and accountable for their votes, but in support of the democratic process, they should present the facts and then defend and debate their individual position.

Going green
Cherry Hill Swim Club is home to the Cherry Hill Dolphins Swim & Dive Team. For the past year, the team looked for creative ways to earn money – their first endeavor was to mark trash cans throughout the swim club specifically for collecting aluminum cans. Not only did this raise money, but it helped the environment as well. Next, they noticed that little kids drink lots of “juice pouch” drinks. They located a company that recycles juice pouches and turns them into usable items – purses, backpacks, etc., and the team earned a little more money. So when the Dolphins heard about “Trash for Cash” program in Boone County, they knew it would be the perfect fit to their “go green” philosophy, as well as a way to create some team bonding. Nine Dolphin swimmers and their families gathered on a very rainy July 25 to clean up a threemile area around the Circleport Industrial Park. Everyone donned their vests, gloves and – armed with their “picker-sticks” – set out on their mission. They were surprised at how much trash people just throw out their car windows and were glad to help beautify the community they swim and dive in. Oh, did the rain bother them, not at all, Dolphins are used to getting wet. Kris Staverman Secretary Cherry Hill Swim & Dive Team Boosters Inc.

Hummingbirds like a sweet treat Question: What is the best recipe for making my own solution of hummingbird nectar? I’ve been using 3:1 water to sugar mixture, and they seem to like it. How can I stop the bees from getting into my hummingbird feeder? How long should I leave the feeder up in the fall? I have heard that if you leave it up too long, they will not migrate south for winter, and will die from the cold. Answer: It is fun and good to make your own sugar-water solution for the hummingbird feeder. Commercial mixes can cost more than homemade sugar-water solutions, and many of them also contain preservatives that might harm the birds. Here is how to make your own: Mix up a solution of about four parts water to one part sugar. This is the best ratio, because it is about the average amount of sucrose produced in typical flowers that attract hummingbirds. Do not make the solution any stronger, or it begins to attract butterflies and bees instead, since most flowers pollinated by butterflies and bees have an average nectar content of 42 percent. Boil the water and sugar for two minutes. Do not microwave the solution, because microwav-
ing causes a breakdown in the sugar molecule that can change the nutritional value. Cool the mixture and refrigerate. If Mike Klahr you continue to Community have a problem bees at the Recorder with feeder, reduce columnist the amount of sugar (or add more water) to create a 5-to-1 ratio. The birds will still use it, but bees probably will not. Do not add red dye. Some information suggests that red dye can actually harm the birds. Most commercial feeders have sufficient red to attract the birds. Never add honey to the mixture. It will create mold and fungal disease problems. Active feeders will be emptied in a hurry. If you do not get any activity at a feeder for several days, take the feeder down, empty the solution, and replace it with fresh sugar water. Every week or so feeders, even active feeders, should be taken down and cleaned with a mild soap detergent, rinsed with bleach, and
then rinsed thoroughly with water. There is great debate about when to take a hummingbird feeder down. Some people say the birds will not migrate if feed is still available, which is not true. You should leave your feeder up as long as the birds are coming to it. Migrant hummers normally show up by late July and will continue passing through until October. While feeding is the best method of bringing the birds into your yard, you can also provide natural sources of nectar by planting certain flowers and shrubs, such as buckeyes (red, Ohio, or yellow buckeye), summersweet Clethra, rose mallow Hibiscus, Carolina silverbell, rhododendrons, weigela, trumpet creeper, passionflower, flowering tobacco, red Salvia, dianthus, zinnia, Mexican sunflower (Tithonia), snapdragon, Heuchera, copper or red iris, fire pinks, columbine, phlox, beardtongue, Monarda bee balm, obedient plant, cardinal flower, monkey flower, foxglove and gayfeather (blazingstar).

Laws concerning passing school buses With school starting back up in many locations, I thought it would be beneficial to review Kentucky's laws concerning passing school buses. This is also an important area of safety for all our children. Prior to stopping a school bus for picking up or letting off children, the driver is required to activate amber flashing signal lamps. Once the bus comes to a complete stop, the driver is required to extend the stop arm and activate the red flashing signal lights prior to opening the door of the bus. Bus drivers are only supposed to stop the buses in locations where there is reasonable visibility to approaching motor vehicles in both directions. Also, a bus driver is not permitted to stop a bus to pick up or discharge children on the opposite side of a highway of four lanes or more, except for discharging passengers at a marked pedestrian crossing. If a school or church bus is stopped for the purpose of picking up or letting out passengers with the stop arm and signal lights activated, the operator of any vehicle approaching from any direction must stop for the bus and shall not proceed until the bus has completely let out or picked up all passengers and started moving. However, these stopping requirements do not apply to vehicles approaching a stopped bus from the opposite direction upon a highway of four or more lanes. For example, if you are approaching a school bus from the opposite direction on the four lane sections of U.S. 27,
Dixie Highway, Burlington Pike, or other four lane roads, you do not have to stop. On all two lane roads, the traffic must stop in both direcJames A. tions. Please be Daley very cautious even on the Community four lane roads Recorder as young chilguest dren are not with columnist familiar the laws and may dart in front of traffic at any time. In order to help deter people from illegally passing school buses and to catch violators, Kentucky law provides that if any vehicle improperly passes a stopped school bus and the identity of the operator cannot be determined, it is a rebuttable presumption that the person in whose name the vehicle is registered or leased was the operator of the vehicle at the time of the violation. Therefore, if the bus driver or someone else gets the license plate number of a vehicle that improperly passes a school bus, charges can be issued against the registered owner or the person who is leasing the vehicle. If that person was not in fact the driver, they would need to come into court and prove such. For instance, if one of your children was driving your car and illegally passed a school bus, you could be charged and you would have to come in to court to explain that it
was your child and not you. In all likelihood, your child would then be charged with passing the school bus. Passing a school bus illegally is considered a very serious offense under Kentucky law. The penalty for a first offense is a minimum of a $100 fine up to $200 and/or 30 to 60 days in jail. For any subsequent offense within three years, the penalty is from $300 to $500 and/or 60 days to six months in jail. In addition, a conviction for passing a school bus results in six points being assessed against your driver's license. Hopefully, this will help clarify the laws concerning passing school and church buses. We all know how students, especially very young children, sometimes run to and from a school bus without checking traffic. We all need to be extremely careful when approaching a school bus from any direction that is loading or unloading children. It seems like every year in Kentucky and other parts of the country children are struck while heading to or from a school bus resulting in death or serious physical injury. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

CH@TROOM Should Major League Baseball reinstate Pete Rose? Why or why not? “Yes. Michael Vick, who only received a 23-month sentence for dogfighting, is eligible to be reinstated to the NFL and will likely be playing somewhere this fall. Not only was it just gambling on dogfighting and financing its operations, this boil on the but-
tocks of society also tortured losing dogs by electrocution, drowning and gunshot. What a sick, sociopathic individual. “Pete simply gambled on baseball, without any of the barbarianism exhibited by Michael Vick, and he is banned for life. How is that fair? It’s not, and if that is all the punishment Vick received for such revolting acts, then Pete has definitely paid his debt to society.
I think most people would agree with this.” L.L.F. “I believe Pete has paid the penalty for his unacceptable activity in betting on baseball. He has established the record and as a result he does belong in the Hall of Fame.” F.J.B.
“For example, there is a young couple in our parish who have adopted a number of children, assuming lifetime responsibility for their care and development. The couple are white, and the children are black and mixed race. “These people are far more worthy of recognition and attention than any Pete Rose or Michael Jackson.” B.B.

Library children’s staff this week’s Catch a Star By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
A patron of the William E. Durr branch of the Kenton County Public Library nominated the Children’s Programming staff at the library for their hard work entertaining and educating children during the summer. Kate Broadhurst, Janet Millner and Jenny Neltner have created, organized and been ringleaders of children’s programs for over 14 years combined. “It’s great to be appreciated,” Broadhurst said. Neltner agreed, saying “It’s definitely a morale booster – we’re free and we rock!” Children’s Programmers provide fun, entertaining and mostly free activities to children in Kenton County all summer long. “We really go all out in the summer,” Broadhurst explained. “We really make an effort to create an excit-
ing environment where it’s going to be like, ‘Reading is fun!’” This summer, the library has hosted a Circus Party, Matchbox car racing, tiedying and more. Children’s programmer Millner said watching children enjoy a program she created is very rewarding. “That’s the payoff. That’s the fun part,” she said. “That’s what makes it all worthwhile.” And even though summer’s end is in sight, that doesn’t mean the programs at the Durr library stop. “We’re still here in the fall. We want kids to come back in the fall. We have a ton of programs available for kids of all ages,” Broadhurst said. Already planned are a Star Wars party, a Barbie’s 50th Birthday Bash and a Grandparent’s Day celebration in September. Check kentonlibrary.org for a full schedule of fall events.

Most people switch jobs. Maggie Bauereis, 24, switched continents. Bauereis’ new job teaching at Prishtina High School took her from Villa Hills to the newly-formed Republic of Kosova, or Kosovo in Southeastern Europe Aug. 17. Prishtina High School, founded in 2007, is modeled after American curriculum and high schools and is part of the American Schools International, a mission supported by churches all over the world, including Lakeside Christian Church. Bauereis, a Lakeside member, had done missionary work before in Jamaica and just knew travel and community service were for her. “It was one of those ‘I can do this for the rest of my life,’ kind of things,” said Bauereis, who left her clerical job in a doctor’s office to teach in Kosova. Like her sister who is a missionary in Ireland, Bauereis felt “called” to teach at Prishtina. “This is something that tugged at my sister’s and my hearts,” she said.

What’s “compelling” about working with Kosova children is “you’re just helping kids that may not otherwise would be able to go to an American or European university,’ Palmer said. “You’re really going to help make a dream come true.” Since it was founded the school has grown from 26 to more than 120 students this coming school year, Palmer said. “It’s been a rewarding experience. They’re just sharp as tacks, they just soak it up and they’re doing great,” he said.

The emerging spirituality of imperfection ality is not about perfection and doing everything right; it’s about connection. In “Messy Spirituality” Michael Yaconelli states, “The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives. Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality, not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.” A more terse description of our flawed nature is contained in O’Neill’s play “The Great God Brown,” “Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue.” Hopefully along the way we become more humble, loving and compassionate.
The steps along the way are not ascending some recognizable glorious staircase called ego, but learning to live the ordinariness of our everyday lives. “Don’t fuss too much about yourself, or fight the truth, just accept yourself and grow,” said an old spiritual director. As Henri Nouwen wrote in his “Genesee Diary,” “He who thinks that he is finished is finished. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are demons.” The secular world does not encourage people to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of our nature. Rather it rages against religious systems which they believe deprive us of our desires
Local lenders best when mortgage issues arise Despite federal efforts to get mortgage lenders to do more to help homeowners remain in the homes, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. More than 200,000 trial loan modifications are now underway, but the government wants double that amount by November. Robin Peach of Burlington is one of those homeowners who have had trouble with her mortgage for the past two years. “I’ve had problems with them in the past, and I started paying them with Quick Collect from Western Union. But, back in March the bank sent two of my payments back to me,” Peach says. A letter from the bank said Peach had defaulted on her mortgage because she owes about $570. But, she says, she has regularly sent in her payment via Western Union. Unfortunately, when she does that all she has is a record of sending the money and no receipt showing the bank actually received it. As a result of the uncertainly, Peach started making her payments by Certified Check but says that hasn’t helped either. “Right now I stand in active foreclosure. They sent another two payments back to me on Saturday. They’re not accepting my money. I’ve got about four grand, almost five grand floating around,” Peach says. A January letter from her bank says she’s behind in her payments by $2,800, plus $100 in late fees. Peach says she doesn’t understand how the bank came up with those figures but hasn’t been able to get any answers. She hired an attorney in December but says that hasn’t helped. I had Peach call her bank directly and I got on the line to try to figure out what’s going on. Peach says, “I’m very frustrated. It’s just that I’m very busy at work and I don’t have time to deal with this. But, I have to have a place to live.” Unfortunately, Peach is dealing with an out-of-state lender so she can’t just go over and talk with a manager. Bank officials I talked with on the phone tell me they don’t want her house and would rather she be out
of foreclosure. They told me the bank did receive her payments for November and December but just hadn’t applied them to her account. Yet, they applied the January payment before putting her into active foreclosure. I explained how she now has thousands of dollars in payments she can send and bank officials said they will have someone from their repayment team contact her.
Officials say that team should finally be able to get all this confusion resolved – and expressed confidence she could get out foreclosure. Once she gets out of foreclosure Peach says she plans to contact a local savings and loan to see if she can refinance. I’ve found it’s always best to have your loan serviced by a local bank or savings and loan because, if
and physical vitality. David Tacey says of the secularist, “When religion is rejected, it does not mean that the spirit and soul go away or disappear. They are simply repressed into the unconscious where they become factors of disturbance and causes of psychic suffering.” Imperfection is the crack in our armor, the wound that lets God in.

perfect. Not at all. Throughout the centuries there has gradually emerged a spirituality of imperfection. A spirituality of imperfection says that the first step involves facing oneself squarely and seeing ourselves as we are: mixed-up, incomplete, and imperfect. To be human is to be error-prone. We are more than the beasts, less than God, yet somehow we are both. Authors Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham write, “Spirituality helps us first to see, and then to understand, and eventually to accept the imperfection that lies at the very core of our human be-ing.” Spirituality is not a formula to follow; it is a relationship with God. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spiritu-

Trying to be perfect in anything is a huge mistake. That’s because we’re human. It’s doubly so when it comes to the spiritual part of being human. It’s said the first prayer of a human is a cry for help. “O God, come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me,” (Psalm 70) begins a monastic’s prayer. Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, never did “get religion,” but he did become a spiritual man. Through the pain of his life experience he came to realize that unless he made connection with a power greater than himself, he was lost. He was convinced that “We must find some spiritual basis for living, else we die.” Some people think being spiritual means becoming

If you don’t have Cointreau or another orange liqueur, augment with a couple of tablespoons of thawed undiluted frozen orange juice. 1 cup orange juice (if it’s fresh, use zest, too, and set that aside as a garnish) 1 cup sugar About 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 2 tablespoons orange liqueur Chopped mint Bring juice, sugar, ginger to a boil. Let simmer until sugar dissolves and syrup is thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in liqueur. Chill until cold. To use, drizzle over fresh fruit and garnish with chopped mint and zest.

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…
MICHIGAN 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.
