BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Course closed for year All greens damaged at A.J. Jolly golf course By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — A.J. Jolly Golf Course will close prematurely Aug. 13 after all 18 greens were damaged beyond repair. Campbell County will close the course to prepare for the 2013 golf season, and all 18 greens will be replanted, according to a news release from the Campbell County Fiscal Court. “The circumstance of the loss of the grass on the greens is a matter that we are continuing to investigate,” said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. The county knows the turf’s death coincided with a routine application of materials by the staff on all the greens the afternoon of July 8, Horine said. “The greens started to show distress on the afternoon of July 8, and the areas showing distress corresponded exactly to the areas that were treated on July 5,” he said. A wetting agent and fungicide were applied, Horine said. “This is a routine procedure that our staff has done in the past when we experience hot-dry conditions,” he said. There was no reason to think the treatment would jeopardize the greens, Horine said. Temperatures were over 100 degrees on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday after application, he said. “We would not have expected the heat to have any affect on it,” Horine said. The greens were watered immediately after the treatment and are regularly watered, he said. Having the damage occur during the course’s 50th anniversary year is “terribly sad,” Horine said. All the greens will be replant-

Alexandria resident powers Coney Island's flowers More than 20,000 plants put in this year

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

CINCINNATI — Behind the flower gardens, trees fountains and waterfalls lining the paths inside Coney Island is Alexandria resident and landscaper Mike Schauff. Schauff, 32, a resident of Alexandria for eight years and a native of Batavia, is the landscape manager for the 136-yearold, 100-acre amusement park, which is also home to Sunlight Pool. Schauff is an Ohio Certified Nursery Technician. "I think this year we planted over 20,000 plants and annuals," Schauff said. From mulching in the spring to planting and caring for the expansive gardens requires constant maintenance, he said. "We have a lot of tropical things that you're not going to find at a local garden center," Schauff said.

Palm trees planted by Alexandria resident Mike Schauff, landscape manager at Coney Island, line the pool and a picnic area at Sunlight Pool. CHRIS MAYHEW/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER Schauff said he is continuing to add more palm trees around the pool area. Within five or 10 years there will be about 200 to 300 palm trees surrounding the pool, he said. Schauff has also completed projects including a waterfall

garden, and bringing back a floral clock – long a mainstay of the original park. It's not an exact replica of the original clock, he said. On the new clock the hands go backwards. "The whole idea is to rewind time to fun," Schauff said.

For winter, Schauff and his staff move many of the plants inside a greenhouse they construct on-site annually, he said. After Hurricane Katrina, Schauff brought wood from old southern white pine trees felled by the storm and created several more than 12-foot-tall flower display stands lining the driveway where vehicles enter the park. Using lots of drought-resistant plants, the park stays full of a wide variety of plant and flower colors throughout the spring, summer and fall, he said. Schauff said he has spent much of his time building ponds and waterfall gardens for people privately. He started working in landscaping at age 16 and never stopped.

Society offered library space Move would make records more accessible

The society’s 2,900square-foot space in the courthouse is “packed,” and the move to a bigger library space is reason enough alone to move, Reis said. “For me personally, I had very, very big reservations for the pure fact that I love this building, to me it's home,” he said. “I've been up here every Tuesday night since 1994.” The library first approached the society more than six months ago with a proposal to move to the first floor of the South Branch, Reis said. Reis said he was initially hesitant to share the request with his board, thinking they wouldn’t like the idea of moving away. What will happen to the courthouse and what the Fiscal Court will do with the building weighed on his mind, he said. Not having any access to the second floor for those with disabilities, and most of the members being age 75 or older was the reason he and ultimately the society’s board chose to accept the library’s offer, Reis said. “At least 80 percent of our own members can't even come up to our own office because they can't make it up the three flights of stairs,” he said. Some of the society’s members have quit rather than try to climb the three flights of stairs to the society’s office, Reis said. “We're not serving our own membership nor the public by not being in a facility that does not provide them easy access to our library,” he said.

ALEXANDRIA — Campbell County’s volunteer historical society has agreed to move to the first floor of a planned South Branch of the county’s library system once it is built. The Campbell County Historical and Genealogical Society’s home has been the second floor of the Campbell County Courthouse in Alexandria since 1994. The Campbell County Public Library intends to open a two-story South Branch at Parkside Drive south of Alexandria and has agreed to allow the historical society to use the 5,000-square-foot first floor. JC Morgan, director of the library, announced the library has signed a contract with the historical society to use the first floor of the South Branch at the July 17 library Board of Trustees meeting. It’s an effort to help the historical society, a good organization, said Rebecca Kelm, chairperson of the library’s Board of Trustees. “They’re in a building that’s not very accessible,”

Kelm said. “It’s not very friendly to their materials.” Historical society president Ken Reis, of Grants Lick, said he understands funding for the South Branch remains an open issue with a related library tax rate issue expected on the ballot in November, but the society’s board is proceeding upon the presumption the library will be built. The library and historical society have a long history, originally providing space in the Cold Spring Branch and one of the library’s employees being the society’s secretary, Reis said. Unlike Kenton County’s

library, genealogy and local history has not been a main goal of Campbell County’s library, Reis said. Th public library often sends people with local history questions to the historical society, he said. The Alexandria courthouse’s second floor is stacked from floor-to-ceiling with shelves of books, filing cabinets, historical artifacts, and a collection of 5,000 photographs, he said. The courthouse has humidity and other issues that make it less than ideal for storing aging items, Reis said. The society also has its own museum, but there is no room to display many of the more than 3,000 historical artifacts, he said. The society has more than 200,000 names in a genealogy files on computers, and has documents ranging from marriage and death records to a file on every one-room schoolhouse the county ever had including grade books from them, Reis said.

ed with a new variety of “bentgrass” that is dense, fast growing, and more playable than the existing greens were, according to the county’s news release. Work has to begin now to take full advantage of the fall growing season, according to the news release. The cost of reseeding the greens is not really the issue because the materials are not costly and the golf course staff will do the work, Horine said. “The more critical thing from a fiscal standpoint is the loss of revenue from the remaining quarter of the season that remains, and that’s unfortunate and we are still determining the number that we are going to lose,” he said. The only “silver lining” is this will be the first time the county has done

comprehensive update on the course, Horine said. The work will also allow the county to reclaim some of the green playing surfaces lost to encroachment of the fairways upon the greens, he said. The encroachment of the fairways might only be an inch or less a year, but it adds up over time, Horine said. “So, when golfers come out next spring they’ll find larger greens,” he said. Season pass holders have already been notified by mail of the early closing. Flagg Springs Golf Course in California has agreed to honor the course’s senior passes for the rest of the year at no cost, Horine said. Pass holders will still have to pay the cart fee at Flagg Springs in the same way they did at A.J. Jolly, he said. And pass holders will be eligible for a 25 percent discount on 2013 season, Horine said.

his goal, Schauff said. Coney Island is a great place to be able to do that, he said. The landscaping throughout the park is iconic, and many amuse-

ment parks have cut back their budgets for landscaping, said Bill Mefford, a spokesperson for Coney Island. Coney Island has remained committed to maintaining an elaborate display of gardens for the public, Mefford said. "It sets the mood for the entire park," he said.

Select team nets gold By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — The girls of the Northern Kentucky Heat banded together this summer and won a gold medal in the U14 select open competition at the Bluegrass State Games. Most members of the Heat have been playing and practicing together for at least eight years, said coach Wade Cookendorfer of Alexandria. After taking a year off from league play, the girls formed a select team specifically to compete in the Bluegrass State Games in Versailles, Ky., July 21-22, Cookendorfer said. The team put together a couple of big wins in the tournament against tough competition this year, he said. The team has won silver or bronze medals at the Bluegrass State Games in previous years, but gold was elusive, Cookendorfer said. “A lot of the years I thought we had the better team and could have won some gold medals but didn’t,” he said.

Team members take soccer seriously, he said. “It just seems like it brings the girls together, and they all seem to enjoy it,” Cookendorfer said. Many of the girls on the team are going to be on their high school junior varsity or middle school teams this fall, he said. Many of the girls are from Alexandria, but other girls on the team attend Boone County High School, Notre Dame Academy and Tichenor Middle School in Erlanger, Cookendorfer said. The team’s other coaches Ron Bischoff and Don Gerhardstein are both Alexandria residents. This year’s games could be the last time all the girls play together, but they might also play in U16 leagues at Town & Country Sports and Health Club in Wilder, he said. “It always seems like we’re going to break up, but then we get back together,” Cookendorfer said. JD Cooper of Alexandria, father of team member Kayla Cooper and one of the team’s sponsors through Cooper Funeral Home, said winning gold is special because all the girls

have stuck together since they could start playing the sport. Another of the team’s sponsors was LPM Electric of Wilder. “The stars never aligned up for them until this year, and it seemed like they were always coming in second,” JD Cooper said. Kayla, a “sweeper” who defends the area near the goal, wasn’t able to participate in the games because of an injury in practice, but was in Versailles rooting for her teammates. “Everyone is just so tight,” Kayla said. “I shattered my wrist, and when the ambulance picked me up on the field I mean half of the team was just crying.” As a member of the team for about eight years, wining a gold was special because they’ve lost at the Bluegrass State Games several times before on coin tosses and shoot-outs, she said. Everyone on the team loves playing together just for fun, and if they would have lost again they still would have had each other, Kayla said. “It’s just like a big family at this point,” she said.

Screen printers open for business

Brossart to use field By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

ALEXANDRIA — Council unanimously approved a contract at the Aug. 2 meeting allowing Bishop Brossart High School fast pitch softball team to play all home games at the city’s park. “Bishop Brossart approached the city to see if we would be agreeable to the idea of letting the high school use the back field as the home for their fast pitch softball team,” said Mayor Bill Rachford. In exchange for use of the field, Bishop Brossart has agreed to make significant improvements to the ballfield at Alexandria Community Park including adding dugouts and a home run fence, Rachford said. “It is a contract and situation that will benefit both the city and the high school as well,” he said. City Attorney Mike Duncan said the agree-

ment is for five years, and automatically renews after another five years unless terms are voided. Afterward the contract can be extended annually by each year for an additional 10 years. Council member Dave Hart said he wanted an amendment added to the contract before he would vote to approve it. Council incorporated Hart’s suggestion of including a provision that all major field improvements be approved by the mayor or a person designated by the mayor, to make the home run fence removable. Council member Barb Weber asked if the city’s Park and Recreation Committee agreed with contract. “The Park and Rec voted it down unanimously to even have them use the area, and there’s a lot of things we discussed that we wanted to see in the contract and they weren’t in there,” said Rebecca

Reese, a member of the committee. It’s a great win for the city as well as Bishop Brossart, said council member Stacey Graus. “We think it’s a great idea, but there’s also a lot of downfalls to it,” Reese said. The park only has so much green space, she said, and the ball field expansion will take up a lot of it. The city has already taken up some of the green space to increase the parking, Reese said. “From the softball games you’re going to get some extra traffic in there, but is it overwhelming?” Graus said. “It’s probably not going to be.” There are certain days already where parking is already an issue because of the popularity of fishing and other activities at the park, he said. “So parking is going to be an issue like it is right now,” Graus said.

COVINGTON — If it’s hot inside the building at 620 Scott Blvd. in Covington, it’s not just because there’s no air conditioning. It’s because the employees at The Point Logo and Design are working hard. A venture by The Point/ Arc of Northern Kentucky, the screen printing business opened this spring. The Point/Arc of Northern Kentucky serves area residents who are developmentally disabled. Brian Harper, of Covington, along with John Foppe of Alexandria, have known each other for years through the Special Olympics. They decided to ask The Point/Arc of Northern Kentucky to join in on this business venture.

Program curbs energy usage

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Reviewing homework and class strategies will be done by desk lamp by many teachers at Bellevue Independent and Campbell County Schools this year as area school districts work to curb energy usage and costs. The desk lamp program is one way an energy management program under way at six Campbell County school districts and Pendleton County Schools is having an impact. As the shared energy manager for the seven school district’s Nathan Wright’s full-time job is to find energy cost-savings and help with energy education issues. The districts first hired an energy manager in the summer of 2010. Other members of the local energy alliance include the independent school districts of Dayton, Fort Thomas, Silver Grove and Southgate. Most of the school districts will be competing in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2012 Energy Star National Building Competition: Battle of the Buildings, Wright said. Energy usage will be measured at schools from July 25 through Dec. 31 as part of the national contest, and the buildings reducing consumption the most will receive awards, he said. Schools Wright works for have already been making strides on conserving energy and saving money. Since an energy manager was hired Campbell County Schools has saved approximately $90,000, Silver Grove has saved more than $16,000 and Southgate has saved more than $3,500, Wright said. Bellevue is implementing a Duke Energy Lights Out for Desk Lamps program with a $1,000 grant this fall and

Campbell County swears in a new sheriff By Amanda Van Benschoten

WHAT’S AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN? Plans to conserve energy at each building are detailed to the point of setting thermostat guidelines for a building during each hour of the day, said Nathan Wright, energy manager for six Campbell County school districts and Pendleton County. For example, setting guidelines that a thermostat can’t be lower than 70 or higher than 74 during a specific time cuts down on energy waste, Wright said. Schools are typically large spaces and therefore a change in one degree is expensive, he said. “It just takes too much energy to move it any further than that,” Wright said. The sizes of school buildings in districts Wright works for ranges from the 27,783-square-foot Southgate School building to the 234,000-square-foot Campbell County High School. Some school energy plans are as detailed as creating policies and rules for refrigerator use and small appliance use, he said. Another item typically covered is when computer monitors should and shouldn’t be turned on and covers Energy Star rating recommendations, he said.

Campbell County Schools has received $4,000 for the same purpose, Wright said. Teachers will be asked to sign a pledge to turn off all the lights for one hour a day in their room when creating lessons or tallying grades, he said. The teachers will be asked to instead use a low-energy 4.2 watt desk lamp that produces the equivalent light of a 40 watt incandescent bulb, Wright said. Bellevue High School science teacher Sally Wyatt will implement Bellevue’s desk lamp program, said Superintendent Wayne Starnes. Starnes said he believes teachers will all want to switch to the small lamps once they see other teachers doing so. “I think that is a very contagious idea and initiative,” he said. Bellevue has saved about $40,000 overall in energy costs over the last three or four years, showing the importance of the program, Starnes said. “That’s another staff member or a huge program for our students,” he said. Finding energy savings in Bellevue’s older buildings is challenging,

but the district has put in solar panels on the roof of the high school and is continuing to raise money to install more, he said. Starnes said he met with an electrician July 25 about installing a motion detector for the lights in the school’s gymnasium. Someone had left the lights switched on when inside the gym prior to the electrician getting there, but nobody was using the space, he said. “I went over and hit the switch and said ‘here is the good reason for why we’re doing what we’re doing right now,’” Starnes said. So, motion sensor switches will be added in the gym an locker rooms, he said. Starnes said the district is honored to also compete in the Battle of the EPA’s Energy Star Battle of the Buildings competition. “We have made a fundamental commitment to teach our students how to conserve energy today to ensure a better world tomorrow,” he said. “We believe that the savings will have a positive environmental and fiscal impact on the Bellevue Schools.”

A veteran Campbell County law enforcement figure has been named the county’s new sheriff, replacing longtime Sheriff John Dunn, who retired Tuesday. David Michael Fickenscher, chief deputy jailer at the Campbell County Detention Center since 2009, was appointed and sworn in Tuesday by Judge-executive Steve Pendery. “Dave is very highly qualified to do this job,” Pendery said. “...We’ve been working with him a long time, so we know how he handles himself, we know the quality of work he’s been doing, and in the end he ended up being a pretty obvious choice for the job.”

Community Recorder In an effort to raise awareness of traffic safety laws and encourage safe driving habits, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety is partnering with state and local law enforcement on the “Blue Lights Across the Bluegrass” campaign throughout July.

ALEXANDRIA — The annual ice cream social at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Alexandria is part of a festival tradition entering its 150th year. St. Paul’s annual “Lawn Fete,” a Germanic tradition, turns 150 this year, said church member and event raffle organizer Karey Thomas of Alexandria. The annual Lawne Fete is from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11. The church is located at 1 North Jefferson St. Hamburgers, hot dogs brats and mets will be available to buy by the plate at the outdoor festival, Thomas said. The church always puts up a big tent up in case it is hot, and has a raffle, she said. “There’s kids games and they block off Jefferson Street, so it’s safe,” Thomas said.

regular election results. The person would have more seniority. Given that they already have an election that day for the 4th District, that probably makes the most sense, rather than have another election.” Davis made a statement that said a family health issue will prevent him from continuing in Congress until the end of his term this year. “Recently, a family health issue has developed that will demand significantly more of my time to assist,” Davis said. “As a result, I cannot continue to effectively fulfill my obligations to both my office and my family. Family must and will come first.” Davis’ statement doesn’t specify the nature of the health issue. Davis first talked in June to 4th District GOP chairman Kevin Sell about resigning before the end of the year, Sell said. Sell said Davis at the time assured him that his family and he will be fine. He said he doesn’t know the details of the health issue to which Davis referred. “It has been a very personal decision for him, between him and his wife, Pat, and his children,” Sell said. “Given the reasons for some people to leave office, I would much rather it be a noble decision focused on the family rather than like some other members of Congress who’ve gotten indicted. The man wants to spend time with his kids and grandkids and extended family.”

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Republican who represents Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, cited a family health issue when he resigned , five months before the end of his term. Davis submitted his resignation to Gov. Steve Beshear and Speaker of the House John Boehner and said it would be effective at the close of business that day. Gov. Steve Beshear’s office said it is reviewing the process on how to deal with the vacancy and couldn’t comment further with Beshear away on an economic development trip in Germany. Davis announced in December he would not be seeking re-election for a fifth term in Congress so he could spend more time with his family. Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Bill Adkins are on the November ballot to succeed Davis. The U.S. Constitution requires a special election to fill a vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Because the special election must be at least five weeks from now, Beshear might opt to put the special election on the November ballot, said Trey Grayson, a former Kentucky secretary of state who now heads Harvard’s Institute of Politics. The political parties would likely nominate Massie and Adkins, who would then appear on the ballot twice. That would allow the winner of the general election and the

DAVIS’ FULL STATEMENT “I thank the people of Kentucky’s Fourth District for the honor of serving as their Congressman over the last eight years. “When I was a Cadet at West Point, I internalized the words of the U.S. Military Academy’s motto, ‘Duty, Honor, Country.’ Next, I learned that success was based on honoring God, Family, and Work, in that order. In December 2011, I decided that in order to honor those values, I needed to retire from Congressional service so I could more effectively serve my family as a husband and father. “Those priorities continue to guide my decisions. Recently, a family health issue has developed that will demand significantly more of my time to assist. As a result, I cannot continue to effectively fulfill my obligations to both my office and my family. Family must and will come first. “Therefore, I am resigning from the U.S. House of Representatives effective at close of business on July 31, 2012. “I have served with great men and women in the Congress in both parties, and leave knowing that the House is filled with people who love this country and are working to make our future better.

Community Recorder Gov. Steve Beshear issued an executive order establishing the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange, a requirement of the federal Affordable Care Act. The Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange is an online marketplace that will provide one-stop shopping for individuals to enroll in qualified health coverage plans. Those plans may be offered through the exchange or coverage through other federal or state health care programs, including Medicaid and the Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program. The exchange will also assist employers in facilitating the enrollment of their employees in health plans, enable individuals to receive premium tax credits and premium subsidies and qualify small businesses for tax credits. The exchange will begin operation Jan. 1, 2014. Kentucky must demonstrate readiness to operate a state health benefit exchange by the end of 2012, or that responsibility will default to the federal government. Several interest groups representing employers, health care advocates, and citizens including the Kentucky Hospital Association, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Kentucky Voices for Health, and Anthem Blue Cross

Blue Shield have expressed that the commonwealth, not the federal government, should operate the exchange for the state. The executive order establishes the Office of the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange, which will oversee the implementation and operations of the exchange. The office will be housed in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The Cabinet and the Department of Insurance have been involved in planning for the exchange since 2010. The commonwealth has received three exchange grants from the Federal Department for Health and Human Services totaling $66.4 million for planning and implementation of a state exchange. The development and operation of the Kentucky Exchange will be funded entirely with federal dollars until Jan. 1, 2015, after which the exchange will be wholly funded with revenues it generates. Beshear selected Carrie Banahan to serve as executive director of the Office of the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange. A career state employee with experience in the Department of Insurance and the Department of Medicaid Services, Banahan currently serves as the executive director of the Office of Health Policy within the Cabinet.

Parents have stake in SBDM

By Chris Mayhew and Amanda Joering Alley cmayhew@nky.com, ajoering@nky.com

Important decisions concerning curriculum, rules, policies and staffing happen in all public schools at a School Based Decision Making Council (SBDM). The SBDM system, started in 1990 by the Kentucky Education Reform Act, is designed to include the voices of parents through a shared decision-making process, according to the Kentucky Department of Education’s website. Led by the school’s principal, the five-member council must be comprised of at least two parent representatives and three teacher representatives, but can also have proportionally larger representation, said Kentucky PTA President Teri Gale. The SBDM

councils are designed to focus on issues impacting student achievement and members examine and make decisions based upon test score data, Gale said. One of the most important duties of an SBDM is selecting a principal, Gale said. In 2011, Senate Bill 12 was approved and for the first time gave superintendents a role in the replacement of principals, according to the KDE website. Now a superintendent, or their designated representative, serves as the chair of the SBDM during the principal selection process. Highlands High School Principal Brian Robinson said, as the decision-making bodies at each school, the SBDM councils are really the people that make things happen in schools. “The councils are quite powerful and very important in the

state of Kentucky,” Robinson said. “Having a democratic decision-making approach is really important because it brings in multiple stakeholders that offer different perspectives.” Parents are the voice of students and parents on the council, Gale said. Although parents are only two of five members, and can be outvoted, school officials want to hear their thoughts. “The parents have a very strong say on those councils,” she said. “They listen to what the parents have to say.” Many parents don’t realize SBDM councils, which have public meetings, exist, Gale said. From dress codes to lunches, setting a wellness policy to whether or not the school will have a nurse, nothing goes on in the school without the SBDM council’s approval, she said.

“As far as the school, this is the one way they can really have input and make the changes for their school and students,” Gale said. Fort Thomas mother Vickie Pelgen, who has served on the SBDM councils at Woodfill Elementary School, Highlands Middle School and now Highlands High School, said she made the decision to join the council because she feels it’s important to know what’s going on in her children's education. Pelgen said as a parent, she likes having a chance to have her views and opinions heard through the council. “I think its extremely important to have parents’ input,” Pelgen said. “I think having input from parents and educators makes each school stronger.

SBDM PARENT ELECTIONS Parents are elected to serve on their school’s SBDM through the PTA, PTO or other parent organization at their school. SBDM council terms are typically for one year from July 1 to June 30 although school councils can adopt a different calendar, said Judy Littleton, planning branch manager for the Kentucky Department of Education in an email. “Most elections are held in April-May with the council being seated in July,” Littleton said. “That way the required training is completed during June and July.” All new SBDM members must complete six hours of required training within 30 days of taking office, she said.

Dayton High to start guitar class By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

DAYTON — This coming school year Dayton High School students will have a new outlet for their musical creativity outside of the school band and general music class. Students in all grades now have the opportunity to take a newly created guitar class, taught by the school’s band director Bill Klopp. Klopp, who has played guitar for years, said he started a similar guitar program at other schools he worked for and the students have really enjoyed the class. “The guitar is such a popular instrument in our culture, it’s usually a pretty popular class,” Klopp said. “Having this class opens up the chance to learn an instrument to more than just students in the band.” In the class, students will learn the basics of guitar, how to care for it, how to play basic chords and how to read music and tablature. By learning how the play the guitar, Klopp said students are gaining a lifelong skill. “My hope is that they will keep learning songs and making music,” Klopp said. “I want my students, when they leave this school, to have a love for music.” Superintendent Jay Brewer said it is important for schools to find ways to connect with students that extend beyond the school day. “This class is a great example of connecting with students in a real way and providing them with real world skills that they can apply today,” Brewer said. “I am very excited to see this opportunity for our students.” Klopp said the biggest challenge when starting a program like this is building up an inventory of instruments. While some students may already own guitars or have access to the funds to buy a guitar, many do not, so Klopp is hoping there are community members out there who have guitars they aren’t using who are willing to donate them. “We need to have instruments readily available so kids who can’t afford them can still participate,” Klopp said. “If we get some people to donate guitars, they will definitely be put to good use.” For more information or to donate, contact Bill Klopp by calling 292-7486 or emailing bill.klopp@dayton.kyschools.us.

New alignment affects Campbell Several county schools move back to 9th Region

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Volleyball teams in Kentucky start serving and digging for real before most players get their homeroom assignments on the first day of school. The regular season began Aug. 6. Northern Kentucky teams are adjusting to a new alignment by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, which mirrors the districts of basketball and baseball. Under the new plan, Simon Kenton moved into the Eighth Region and Scott and Calvary Christian to the 10th, while several Campbell County schools moved back to the Ninth.

Bishop Brossart

The Mustangs graduated four

starters from last year’s team, most notably four-year starting setter Molly Williams. They led the team to a 25-12 record including the All “A” 10th Region championship. Fourth-year head coach Pennie Wiseman returns with a 68-37 record at Brossart. She brings back two senior starters who are in their fourth year on the varsity team in Emily Greis and Tori Hackworth. Brossart figures to be in the mix for the 10th Region title in the new alignment. Greis, a libero, had 463 digs and is aiming for the single-game digs record this season. She led Northern Kentucky in that category last year. Hackworth had 197 kills last year. Senior outside hitter Taylor Leick and junior middle hitter Alex Hinkel also had a lot of play-

ing time last year. Top newcomers include freshman setter Lindsay Leick, junior outside hitter Marissa Frommeyer and junior defensive specialist Allison Steelman. “We are small and scrappy and work together very well,” Wiseman said. “Our freshman setter has beautiful form and as soon as we get her running the court our offense will be in business.” Brossart starts the season at Calvary Aug. 13 and has its first home match Aug. 21 against Lloyd.

» The Florence Freedom (38-32) came back from a 4-2 deficit and rallied for a 5-4 win Sunday night, Aug. 5. over the Road Warriors. The Freedom hit three homeruns and remained in contention for a wild card berth in the Frontier League playoffs. With the win, and Windy City splitting their doubleheader against Rockford, the Freedom are now 2.5 games behind Windy City for the final wild card spot. With the Freedom trailing 4-2 in the fifth inning and two runners on base, Freedom catcher Jim Jacquot muscled a three-run homerun over the left field wall. The homerun just barely made it over the fence as Matt Wright nearly brought the ball back on a leaping effort. Jacquot’s seventh homerun of the season gave the Freedom a 5-4 lead. The trio of Jose Velazquez, Matt Kline, and Brennan Flick were terrific out of the Freedom bullpen combining for 4.1 innings of hitless baseball. Velazquez raised his record to 5-0 after relieving starter Brent Choban with two outs in the fifth. The Freedom came back from an early deficit of 2-0, as David Harris led off the first, with a solo homerun. It was Harris’s seventh homer of the year. The Freedom then tied it on another solo shot, this one coming from John Malloy in the

second. Malloy now has a team lead of 10 home runs for a Freedom team that ranks second in the Frontier League in homeruns hit. Florence is home Aug. 7-9 in a three-game series against Windy City, a crucial battle for a playoff spot. Florence is on the road Aug.10-16 then returns home for nine games Aug. 1726.

State of Kentucky must learn from child fatalities Vulnerable children must be protected from abuse and neglect. That’s the goal of every part of society, from parents to police, from teachers to social workers, from social service agencies to state government. To ensure that protection is as strong as it can be, we must not only be continuously improving the “system” but also – when abuse and neglect leads to tragic consequences – taking a step back and examining whether that system broke down. Recently, Gov. Steve Beshear took two steps to increase scrutiny of the practices of government entities in cases where abuse and neglect resulted in the injury or death of a child. First, he created, by executive order, the Child Fatality and Near Fatality External Review Panel. This is an independent 17-

member panel that will be made up of experts and stakeholders in child abuse and neglect issues, including law enforcement, Audrey Tayse social services Haynes COMMUNITY PRESS officials and representaGUEST COLUMNIST tives of the three branches of state government. Those members not serving in their official capacities will be selected for appointment by peer review groups and by the state attorney general. Attached to the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, the panel will meet quarterly to review official records and other information and will publish an annual public report of findings and recommendations. Its goal

will be to identify the medical, legal and psychosocial conditions that contributed to a child’s death or near-death and recommend improvements to that system, as well as any appropriate disciplinary action. We must learn from tragic circumstances. The second step he took was to direct the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, which I have headed since mid-April, to provide to the media the rest of the case files and other records that have been the subject of an ongoing court fight. Already the Cabinet has released records from about 75 cases of death and near-death that occurred in 2009 through 2010. The governor’s directive applies to about 45 remaining case files. An additional 20 others still have pending court action and will be released after that action is closed.

There remain many misconceptions about why the Cabinet is in court and why it continues that court battle. Simply stated, we disagree about how much personal information about the child victims, their siblings and other innocent parties in a case should be released. In a very limited way, we have protected information like Social Security numbers, financial information, identifying information and – as the law requires – the identities of people who, at risk to themselves, came forward to report abuse. Despite repeated and erroneous reports to the contrary, we have not withheld – and are not now seeking to withhold – information about Cabinet policies, decisions, employees or action. Since the Cabinet began releasing these case files last year, we have at no time attempted to protect the identi-

ties of staff who worked those cases or to shield those actions from review. In fact, we welcome that scrutiny, as the creation of the independent panel makes clear. Since 2007, the Cabinet’s Department for Community Based Services has implemented an array of training for its staff and community partners, as well as several initiatives, such as forensics tests and substance-abuse treatment, to both head off and respond to abuse. The people of Kentucky can rest assured that I, Beshear and other top state officials are committed to working toward the time when all children can live happy, peaceful, productive and safe lives. Audrey Tayse Haynes is the secretary of Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

A N. Ky. perspective on tax reform Northern Kentuckians should have a keen interest in state tax reform because of some very unique circumstances we face here. Even if we need more funding for education and government, we must first ask hard questions about whether proposed reforms would work for our region in particular. We’re unique because we are a donor region, which means we send more dollars to Frankfort than we receive. The most recent estimates indicate that for every dollar we send to Frankfort only about 64 cents of it comes back to Northern Kentucky. If tax reform includes raising taxes on Northern Kentuckians, we should not assume the money will come back to our region. We’re unique because we’ve usually been successful without increased taxation. Generally, our businesses and institutions

have helped support a high quality of life. We have a graduation rate of over 90 percent from high school and over 60 percent of Rob Hudson COMMUNITY PRESS our students in Northern KenGUEST COLUMNIST tucky attend college. We have mean income of over $80,000 per household, with an increase of more than 25 percent over the last full decade. The wrong tax reform could send us backwards, not forwards. We’re unique because as a border region we’re vulnerable to competition from surrounding states. We already have a progressive state income tax system which cuts low income citizens a break but which taxes income above $75,000 at 6 per-

cent. We have a 6 percent sales tax on goods. We have a 6 percent tax on business income. Our existing tax code already places us at a higher level of taxation well above Tennessee and Indiana. Meanwhile, Ohio has successfully granted tax breaks and incentives to Northern Kentucky businesses to encourage them to move to Cincinnati. A strong case can be made for reduced taxes in Kentucky. As for the proposed sales tax on services, imagine how many of our high income service providers will move to Ohio or Indiana if they have to charge a new sales tax on services for doing business here. And will our businesses who use services want to stay if we levy yet another tax which they have to pay? With federal income taxes increasing, reasonable state tax rates will be even more impor-

tant to compete for jobs. The bedrock principle of tax reform should be Northern Kentucky competitiveness. If that isn’t our focus, then we risk losing the economic engine which helped drive our successes. You can be sure Kentucky’s competitors are looking at our reform effort with great interest. They’re wondering if we will be foolish enough to increase taxes on businesses and job providers in a down economy. And if we won’t become more business friendly, they will. To maintain and enhance the quality of life for our unique region, we must compete for new businesses and win. If tax reform helps us do this, then I’m all for it. Rob Hudson is a partner with Frost Brown Todd, LLC, in Florence where his practice focuses on labor and government relations.

Budget cuts hollowing out court system As chief justice, I find it disheartening that I can no longer assure you that the courts in Kentucky will be open when you need them. For the first time in modern history, we will have to close every courthouse in the state to balance the Judicial Branch budget. For three days in 2012, we must furlough all court personnel and close all courthouse doors because the General Assembly has not allotted enough money to fund court operations at current levels. The 4.3 million people in Kentucky generate nearly 1.1 million court cases each year. To meet that demand, the Judicial Branch needs only about 3 percent of the state budget. Yet since 2008 our court system has experienced a cumulative budget reduction of 48 percent.

That’s how important our founders considered the role of the courts in our system of checks and balances.

Ambassadors meet needs of city Volunteer program started in 2002 By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

NEWPORT — For the past decade, a group of volunteers have served as representatives of the city of Newport The Newport Ambassadors program, which began in 2002, offers those interested a chance to help out and promote Newport and what it has to offer. “We are representatives of the city who work to promote a posi-

tive image of Newport,” said volunteer Kelly Flynn, coordinator of the ambassadors. “Our ambassadors are dedicated and care a lot about the city.” As an ambassador, volunteers act as informational assistants at special events like Italianfest and Goettafest, where they set up a booth to give out information about the city and local businesses and are on hand to answer questions people may have during the events. “We get a variety of questions from people asking about the history of Newport to the most common, ‘where is the bathroom?’” Flynn said. “We’re here to help any way that we can.”

Flynn said the program began when former city commissioner Jan Knepshield saw a need for more volunteers at city events. In 2009, Flynn, who had been an ambassador since the program began, took over as coordinator. “I decided to take over because I thought it was a great program and I wanted to do more with it,” Flynn said. Since Flynn volunteers to take over the program has expanded, offering even more assistance to community members and visitors, said ambassador Janet Ginter, who has been with the program since it began. Ginter said for her, being part

of the program is her way of giving back to the community where she grew up. “I like telling people about Newport, how it’s evolved over the years, and being available to answer their questions one on one,” Ginter said. Ambassador Jan Farrell, who also started with the program when it began and grew up in Newport, said she feels that it’s important to let people know what Newport has to offer, from its events to its variety of local businesses. “I figure I’d be coming to these events anyway, so I might as well help out the city while I’m here,” Farrell said.

Currently there are about 60 ambassadors ranging from ages 22 to 82, Flynn said. Ambassadors have to be at least 18 and are asked to volunteer for at least three events a year. The ambassadors meet once a year in April, where they sign up to work events throughout the year. At the end of the festival season, program participants are invited to an appreciation dinner, where certain volunteers are recognized for their service. For more information about the Newport Ambassadors program, call Kelly Flynn at 292-3651 or email her at kflynn@newportky.gov.

Birthday ‘girls’ are best friends, sisters By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

COLD SPRING — Born 10 years apart on the same date, sisters Justina Smith Graziani and Sue Smith Zint share a closer bond as best friends. Graziani turned 90 Friday, Aug. 3, and Zint turned 80. The sisters raised their children spending every Christmas and Thanksgiving together and they have always had a special bond, said Zint, of Grants Lick. “She is my best friend,” Zint said. Graziani, of Cold Spring, said out of six siblings, Zint and herself are the only two remaining alive today. “We better be friends,” Graziani said with a grin toward her sister. They visit and call one another regularly as they have for their entire adult lives. Born in Grants Lick on a farm, both of them lived nearby in Cold Spring for many years until Zint moved back to Grants Lick when she retired. “We’ve lived close together, and we raised all our children in the same church,” Graziani said. The sisters raised their children at First Baptist Church in Cold Spring where Zint taught kindergarten for 15 years.

and family.” Both of the sisters centered their lives on children. In addition to teaching kindergarten, Zint also opened the daycare Al-

pha Land in Highland Heights in 1978. Graziani taught grade school for 36 years including at the former Dale Elementary School in Highland Heights. Graziani taught at the former Cold Spring School for the last 25 years of her teaching career. Each of the sisters had five children. Zint has eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, and Graziani has 16 grandchildren and 13 greatgrandchildren with another two “on the way.” Zint said her sister often told her what to do when they were little, and the two sisters still crack jokes when they are together and talking about one another. “She doesn’t remember when I was born, but I remember when she was born,” Graziani said with a giggle on Aug. 2 in her Cold Spring home as Zint sat next to her chair. “She was a big baby, but I won’t tell you how much she weighed.” Zint said, “you better not,” to her sister with a smile. Graziani said she knew her sister was special as soon as she was born. “I thought she was the prettiest thing I had ever seen,” Graziani said of Zint.

They are always surprised to see so many potatoes come from one plant. And in spite of the heat, potatoes are one crop that have grown really well. Today I made a batch of potato pancakes to go along with our bacon and eggs. And our corn is finally in after months of loving care from my husband, Frank.

Tiny mites mounting attack in local gardens The two-spotted spider mite is a common pest of several vegetable crops durMike ing proKlahr longed hot HORTICULTURE and dry CONCERNS periods, when it rapidly multiplies. Mites can injure tomatoes, beans, muskmelons, watermelons, cucumbers, eggplant and sweet corn, as well as many flowers, fruits, trees and shrubs. Generally mites feed on the undersides of leaves. They use their sucking mouthparts to remove sap from plants, giving the upper leaf surface a finely speckled, stippled or mottled appearance. Leaves of mite-infested plants may turn yellow and dry up, and plants may lose vigor and die

Question: The leaves of my tomatoes and beans don’t look right. They are pale-green to bronze, with many tiny specks or dots the size of pin pricks on top, with a tan coloration under the leaf, and some very fine webbing present, yet I don’t see any spiders. Should I spray with Sevin? Answer: The problem you describe is due to spider mites, which are so small they just look like specks of dust slowly moving about on the undersides of leaves. A magnifying glass or hand lens will help you spot them, or tap the branch or leaves on a piece of white paper, where they will show up better.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

when infestations are severe. The underside of affected leaves appear tan or yellow and have a crusty texture. Heavy infestations of the two-spotted spider mite produce fine webbing which may cover the entire plant. In hot dry weather, mites can cause plants to drop leaves in a few weeks. Fruits from severely infected plants are often low quality because defoliated plants tend to yield smaller, rougher fruit. Miticides are available for some vegetable crops but should be used only where justified. Resistance to pesticides has increased the difficulty of controlling these pests. Because mites primarily occur on the undersides of leaves, applications of contact sprays such as Malathion or Insecticidal Soap need to be directed at both the upper and lower leaf

Community Recorder

surfaces. Don’t use Sevin, since that may lead to a build-up of spider mites, killing only the beneficial predator mites. Spider mite eggs are resistant to some miticides, so repeated applications are often necessary to control infestations. Two applications spaced five to seven days apart may be necessary with some products. Destruction of weeds in or near the garden should be done in the fall or early spring. Any nearby grass should be mowed regularly. Spraying or mowing of tall weeds during the summer, however, may increase the movement of mites onto the garden plants. Overhead-sprinkler irrigation early in the day will help wash off some mites. Mike Klahr is the Boone County extension agent for horticulture.

Vegetables and fruits are ready for harvest, and many gardeners have more produce than they can readily eat. Those who want to preserve fresh, summer foods for later consumption will consider either freezing or canning the harvest. But is one way of preservation better than the other? The answer depends on the type of food you want to preserve. If proper techniques and correct temperatures are used, frozen foods retain greater amounts of their vitamin content, natural color, flavor and texture. Freezing foods preserves them by stopping or slowing the growth of microorganisms that cause food-borne illnesses and spoilage. Freezing is perhaps the easiest food preservation method, but not all foods freeze well. Some vegetables with high water content are not well suited for use as raw vegetables after freezing, but work well as ingredients in cooked dishes, like soups. Green, leafy vegetables like lettuce, cabbage and celery become limp and watery. They may also develop an oxidized flavor when frozen. Foods containing eggs or milk may separate water from solids or become tough, frothy or watery depending on the other ingredients. Freezing fried foods can cause them to lose their crispness and become soggy. Like freezing, canning, when done correctly, can

Optometrists offer tips on eye problems Community Recorder It’s time for parents to make their back-to-school lists. School supplies and new clothes may be at the top of the list, but state law requires that children ages 3 through 6 who are entering a public school or preschool program for the first time have a vision exam. Up to13 percent of children age 5 and younger have some type of vision condition. After age 5, that number increases to 25 percent. Amblyopia is the leading cause of vision loss in people under age 40 – more than injuries or any other disease. However, it is almost 100 percent treatable if detected early. Eye examination is particularly important if your child exhibits any of these signs of possible eye problems: » Loses place while

Popular plates Fundraising a success so far reissued Community Recorder

Community Recorder The Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund is reissuing three past nature license plates: the bobcat on a rhododendron branch, the Viceroy butterfly perched on a goldenrod stem, and the cardinal landing on a Kentucky Coffeetree branch. These plates are available for purchase. If you are registering a new or out-of-state vehicle in Kentucky for the first time, you can request a nature license plate from your county clerk or motor vehicle dealer. If you lease in Kentucky, you can offer the leasing company a check for the extra charge to get the nature license plate. If you are converting from a regular plate, turn in your plate to your county clerk and you will be given credit for the months remaining on your decal. When you purchase one of these plates for your car or truck, the extra $10 fee is used to purchase important natural lands, including state parks, wildlife management areas, and nature

preserves. Since 1995, the money raised from these plates has helped purchase and protect more than 77,000 acres in 62 counties. Cities, counties, universities, conservation districts and other eligible agencies have been awarded grants to purchase and manage significant properties. The Heritage Land Board can approve funding for properties that meet these criteria: » Natural areas that possess unique features such as habitat for rare and endangered species. » Areas important to migratory birds. » Areas that perform important natural functions that are subject to alteration or loss. » Areas to be preserved in their natural state for public use, outdoor recreation and education. For a look at the new plates, a listing of purchased properties and other information, visit the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund website at www.heritageland.ky.gov.

Gateway adds pharmacy program Community Recorder Gateway Community and Technical College will offer a certificate in pharmacy technology this fall. Classes begin Monday, Aug. 13, at the college’s Urban Center at 525 Scott Blvd., Covington. The program can be completed in two semesters after any developmental needs are met and if the student attends full-time. Pharmacy technicians fill prescriptions, mix medications and interact with customers under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist.

Retail pharmacy technicians earn about $13 an hour; their annual wages average about $12,000 a year more than what a high school graduate earns, according to the American Association of Community Colleges. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the number of job openings for pharmacy technicians across the country is expected to increase by 29 percent by 2020. That is much faster than the average for all jobs. Gateway’s pharmacy technology program qualifies as an allied health ca-

reer under the college’s Health Professions Opportunity Grant. This means low-income students interested in becoming a pharmacy technician may be eligible for tuition assistance and other special financial benefits. For more information about the grant and 10 other eligible healthcare majors, contact Michele Schwendenmann at 859442-4103 or email gw-hpogemail@kctcs.edu. Gateway is accepting students in any field of study for the fall semester. For admissions call 859441-4500 or visit www.gateway.kctcs.edu.
