Historic Preservation AwardsLet’s celebrate! The River
Cities, including Bellevue, Dayton, Newport, Covington and Ludlow, are hosting their Excellence in Preservation Awards on May 28 at 6:30 at Corpus Christi Apartments in Newport. It’s when we come together and celebrate the peo-ple and projects that move our communities forward while preserving our past, much like our city motto says, “preserv-ing the past, preparing for the future”. This award presen-tation is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Why do we have a Histor-ic Preservation Ordinance?
In response to the destruc-tion of older buildings and neighborhoods in the immedi-ate post-World War II years, the National Historic Preser-vation Act of 1966 (NHPA) signaled America’s commit-ment to preserving its heritage. In 1987 the City of Bellevue established the Bellevue His-toric Preservation Ordinance as a declaration of purpose and public policy on the pres-ervation of historic areas and buildings. The goals include: protecting our historic char-acter; promoting the educa-tional, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the people and safeguard our city’s his-tory and heritage; stabilize and improve property values; fos-ter civic pride, strengthen our
economy, protect and enhance our historic assets to residents and visitors that stimulates business; and enhance the vi-sual and aesthetic character and interest of the city.
Think about our historic fabric. When you see wavy glass windows think about how they were handmade over 100 years ago. Those old window sashes and moldings were made out of old growth wood that does not exist in to-day’s marketplace. Historic ornamentation was created by craftsman by hand. Each piece item helps tell the story and contribute to the beauty and value of Bellevue.
Our local historic districts have also helped Bellevue through the economic down-turns and when we experi-enced the impact of the flight to the suburbs. Preservation is an effective community and economic development tool and Bellevue is a great exam-ple of proving it works.

Historic Preservation Com-mission and users of the Bel-levue’s Taylor’s Daughters and Fairfield Avenue His-toric Guidelines are working with a contractor, Corn Is-land Archaeology, to update our guidelines. The National Park Service and Kentucky Heritage Council recommend updating the guidelines peri-odically. We are fortunate to have received a Certified Lo-cal Government (CLG) grant to cover the cost of the update. We’re excited to be able to en-hance what we have to: make the guidelines easier to work with, include contemporary needs and helpful hints, along with adding more illustrations.
It has been my great honor to serve as Pastor of Light-house Ministries for the past thirty four years. My wife and I began this ministry in Sil-ver Grove KY and after a few short years God began to bless our efforts and a church was established. Soon we ran out of space and God opened up a door to purchase a building in Dayton and we served in that community several years un-til God once again blessed us with another building in the city of Bellevue. So it was in 2002 that we made the move and have served in this com-munity for the past thirteen years. It has been a great honor and a pleasure to work with the wonderful people in this great church known as Lighthouse Ministries. It has been a won-derful experience and we have ministered to many awesome people during this season of our ministry. We now feel that we are entering into a new sea-son of service in our ministry and have recently retired as
Pastor of the Lighthouse.It is with great honor that
I announce the newly elected Pastor. He is Rev. Samuel Diedenhofer,a native of the Northern Ky area and a great man of God. He has a pas-sion for people and a heart to serve in this community. This is a new season for him and his family and the Light-house ministries congregation. I have absolute confidence in him and know that the future of the lighthouse is in good hands. We invite you to be-come a part as we celebrate a new season with an official in-stallation service on May 30th @ 2:00 pm. with a reception to follow. We welcome you to meet and greet and become a part of this great celebration.
Words cannot express how much we have enjoyed serving in this great church and com-munity so continue to pray for us as we begin our new season of change.
Sincerely, WI Smith

By Terry BauteHappy Memorial Day!Memorial Day is upon us
once again. Thanks to all of our veterans and their fami-lies for their sacrifices made to keep and protect our freedom and way of life. May God bless you all and keep you safe for your service to our country! The weather sure has had its ups and downs and the grass is growing like crazy. I know it is hard to keep up with grass cutting especially with spring and all the rain we have had and are forecasted in the next couple of weeks. Please make an effort to cut it when the op-portunity presents itself. When it gets out of control it makes it more difficult on your weed eaters and lawn mowers.
CSI is doing a great job on our trash pickup but they are still having problems with
residents placing too much at the curb. We continue to have set outs from people moving. Remember all furniture espe-cially fabric furniture must be placed in a plastic bag. The city is making it easier for all of you by ordering and selling heavy plastic bags for our cost of $3.00 per bag. This is one of ordinances and carries a fine of $100.00 for violating this ordi-nance. Also please put lids on your cans. With all the rain in the spring, containers without lids take on water and can be-come very heavy at times. One last issue on garbage, don’t use card board boxes for gar-bage or debris. The cardboard becomes soggy and breaks open when they pick it up. If it breaks they do not pick up the garbage for you. The city ap-preciates your cooperation on this issue.

Remember that if you start a project that requires a permit and you don’t have one, the job will be stopped. There is also a penalty attached to the permit fee. If you are uncertain whether you need a permit for a project please call me and I will be more than happy to work with you and conduct an onsite visit. Contractors must obtain an occupational license prior to beginning a project. If they start a project without a license, the job will be stopped until they purchase this license and a penalty will be applied.
Finally there are many rental properties in City of Bellevue. Too often when a problem or situation exists we are unable to contact the owner of that property due to lack of contact information. Many times a city official needs to get in touch with an owner and it important to con-tact a property owner. We are trying to protect your invest-ment so please provide this information when you renew the rental license agreement. If you or someone you know has rental property located in the city of Bellevue please be advised that we require rental information in case of a situ-ation where it is imperative to advise the landlord/owner. Thank you for your help on this important matter.

At the First Baptist Church of Bellevue, each Sunday, we have been going through a ser-mon series through the book of Mark. The book of Mark is kind of like a biography on the life and ministry of Jesus. We have been blessed to turn to the scriptures and read about the love, compassion, kind-ness, boldness, power, and teaching of Christ. It is a re-markable journey to examine how Jesus impacted the world that he entered into and the model he gave us as believers. I would like to share with you some aspects of what we have learned as a church through this sermon series.
As his fame and renown increased, Jesus still insisted upon making time to be alone in prayer with the Father (Mark 1:35-37). In the busy-ness that bombards our lives in the 21st Century, Jesus serves as an example that it is vital to be alone in prayer with God. The Savior teaches us to be people who accept others and love all. Yet, he teaches us that we are all sick with the spiri-tual illness of sin. While Jesus loves us right where we are, he refuses to leave us in our sin and calls us to righteousness (Mark 2:15-17). The Mes-siah taught that the law was given so that we may do good to others, not as a religious exercise void of love (Mark 3:1-6). The Son of God has not promised that our life will be free from storms. Yet, to all who have called upon him for salvation, he promises to be with us in the midst of the
storms of life (Mark 4:35-41). In a world of brokenness and pain, it is the Son of Man who can bring peace to a person’s life, even when all the past at-tempts of others have failed (Mark 5:1-20). As Jesus was performing ministry, he taught his followers that his work cannot be accomplished in isolation or seclusion. Rather, Christians need one another to accomplish the goals of God (Mark 6:7-13). He proclaimed that faith is not something we can just speak with our words, but must be sincerely lived out in our everyday lives (Mark 7:6-16). The Lord told us not to base our significance on the treasures of this world, but to deny ourselves and fol-low him, because he alone can save our souls (Mark 8:34-38). While Jesus taught and proclaimed the Kingdom of God, the Father himself urges us to listen and follow Jesus, his beloved son (Mark 9:7). While everything that Christ taught has incredible value, it was Jesus who proclaimed his main purpose for coming to this world was to die as a ran-som for our sins that we may be forgiven (Mark 10:45). The Good Shepherd not only came and proclaimed that we could be forgiven of our sins, but he also insisted we forgive those who have wronged us (Mark 11:25-26). And, it was Jesus who proclaimed the most im-portant aspect our lives, the very purpose for which we were designed, was to love God and others (Mark 12:29-31).

By pursuing this journey through the book of Mark, we have learned so many things from Christ! We have three chapters left. On Sundays, at 10:40AM, come worship with us as we examine what God would have us to learn and ap-ply to our lives from the book of Mark!
We would also like to in-vite you to two other events coming up.

transPortation? Woodsman, spare that
tree…er…that snag! Snags, or “wildlife trees,”--standing dead or dying trees--can pro-vide more habitat for wild-life dead than they can alive. Snags are important for wild-life in both natural and land-scaped settings, occurring as a result of disease, lightning, fire, animal damage, too much shade, drought, root competi-tion, and ultimately old age.
Birds and small mammals depend upon snags for nests, nurseries, storage areas, for-aging, roosting, and perching. Decaying wood provides food for insects—food for many of our birds! Live trees with
snag-like features, such as hol-low trunks, excavated cavities, and dead branches can provide similar wildlife value. Snags occurring along streams and shorelines (such as we have in Bellevue) eventually may fall into the water, adding impor-tant woody debris to aquatic habitat. Limbless trunks are often more decayed and may have more and larger cavities for shelter and nesting. Who will thank you? Cavity nester, from pileated woodpeckers who can actually excavate,

Just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed working with other presenters at the Grandview Elementary School Exploring Our Future Day just completed at Grandview El-ementary. My compliments to Teresa Allen for a well planned and executed event, I had a ball with the kids and I am confident they learned a lot from all the excellent pre-senters. Next Friday May 1st Lincoln Elementary School is having their Spring Festival and Fireman Joe is happy to be invited and will be a presenter and have a demonstration at that event. With that being said, I hardly know where the school year has gone, with only one month left I hate how time is passing by so quickly. I will say without hesitation how much I enjoy spending time at all our Dayton and Bel-
levue Schools, the students, teachers and staff truly make my day.
I hope everyone has taken to heart regarding my message from last month on Spring Cleaning and have begun your household checks. While I am at it, I know the grass is need-ing cut so use caution with that lawnmower and fuel it will need. When you are doing other yard chores and duties, be sure to take breaks, drink lots of water and be sure you have had your lunch or dinner. Speaking of food, Barbeque time is also here so use caution with that grill and the fuels it may require. Be sure the little ones are away from the hope grill and playing out of dis-tance of the backyard Chef.
Enjoy your Spring! Till next time Stay Safe!

Remember that if you start a project that requires a permit and you don’t have one, the job will be stopped. There is also a penalty attached to the permit fee. If you are uncertain whether you need a permit for a project please call me and I will be more than happy to work with you and conduct an onsite visit. Contractors must obtain an occupational license prior to beginning a project. If they start a project without a license, the job will be stopped until they purchase this license and a penalty will be applied.
Finally there are many rental properties in City of Bellevue. Too often when a problem or situation exists we are unable to contact the owner of that property due to lack of contact information. Many times a city official needs to get in touch with an owner and it important to con-tact a property owner. We are trying to protect your invest-ment so please provide this information when you renew the rental license agreement. If you or someone you know has rental property located in the city of Bellevue please be advised that we require rental information in case of a situ-ation where it is imperative to advise the landlord/owner. Thank you for your help on this important matter.

At the First Baptist Church of Bellevue, each Sunday, we have been going through a ser-mon series through the book of Mark. The book of Mark is kind of like a biography on the life and ministry of Jesus. We have been blessed to turn to the scriptures and read about the love, compassion, kind-ness, boldness, power, and teaching of Christ. It is a re-markable journey to examine how Jesus impacted the world that he entered into and the model he gave us as believers. I would like to share with you some aspects of what we have learned as a church through this sermon series.
As his fame and renown increased, Jesus still insisted upon making time to be alone in prayer with the Father (Mark 1:35-37). In the busy-ness that bombards our lives in the 21st Century, Jesus serves as an example that it is vital to be alone in prayer with God. The Savior teaches us to be people who accept others and love all. Yet, he teaches us that we are all sick with the spiri-tual illness of sin. While Jesus loves us right where we are, he refuses to leave us in our sin and calls us to righteousness (Mark 2:15-17). The Mes-siah taught that the law was given so that we may do good to others, not as a religious exercise void of love (Mark 3:1-6). The Son of God has not promised that our life will be free from storms. Yet, to all who have called upon him for salvation, he promises to be with us in the midst of the
storms of life (Mark 4:35-41). In a world of brokenness and pain, it is the Son of Man who can bring peace to a person’s life, even when all the past at-tempts of others have failed (Mark 5:1-20). As Jesus was performing ministry, he taught his followers that his work cannot be accomplished in isolation or seclusion. Rather, Christians need one another to accomplish the goals of God (Mark 6:7-13). He proclaimed that faith is not something we can just speak with our words, but must be sincerely lived out in our everyday lives (Mark 7:6-16). The Lord told us not to base our significance on the treasures of this world, but to deny ourselves and fol-low him, because he alone can save our souls (Mark 8:34-38). While Jesus taught and proclaimed the Kingdom of God, the Father himself urges us to listen and follow Jesus, his beloved son (Mark 9:7). While everything that Christ taught has incredible value, it was Jesus who proclaimed his main purpose for coming to this world was to die as a ran-som for our sins that we may be forgiven (Mark 10:45). The Good Shepherd not only came and proclaimed that we could be forgiven of our sins, but he also insisted we forgive those who have wronged us (Mark 11:25-26). And, it was Jesus who proclaimed the most im-portant aspect our lives, the very purpose for which we were designed, was to love God and others (Mark 12:29-31).

transPortation? Woodsman, spare that
tree…er…that snag! Snags, or “wildlife trees,”--standing dead or dying trees--can pro-vide more habitat for wild-life dead than they can alive. Snags are important for wild-life in both natural and land-scaped settings, occurring as a result of disease, lightning, fire, animal damage, too much shade, drought, root competi-tion, and ultimately old age.
Birds and small mammals depend upon snags for nests, nurseries, storage areas, for-aging, roosting, and perching. Decaying wood provides food for insects—food for many of our birds! Live trees with
snag-like features, such as hol-low trunks, excavated cavities, and dead branches can provide similar wildlife value. Snags occurring along streams and shorelines (such as we have in Bellevue) eventually may fall into the water, adding impor-tant woody debris to aquatic habitat. Limbless trunks are often more decayed and may have more and larger cavities for shelter and nesting. Who will thank you? Cavity nester, from pileated woodpeckers who can actually excavate,

Just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed working with other presenters at the Grandview Elementary School Exploring Our Future Day just completed at Grandview El-ementary. My compliments to Teresa Allen for a well planned and executed event, I had a ball with the kids and I am confident they learned a lot from all the excellent pre-senters. Next Friday May 1st Lincoln Elementary School is having their Spring Festival and Fireman Joe is happy to be invited and will be a presenter and have a demonstration at that event. With that being said, I hardly know where the school year has gone, with only one month left I hate how time is passing by so quickly. I will say without hesitation how much I enjoy spending time at all our Dayton and Bel-
levue Schools, the students, teachers and staff truly make my day.
I hope everyone has taken to heart regarding my message from last month on Spring Cleaning and have begun your household checks. While I am at it, I know the grass is need-ing cut so use caution with that lawnmower and fuel it will need. When you are doing other yard chores and duties, be sure to take breaks, drink lots of water and be sure you have had your lunch or dinner. Speaking of food, Barbeque time is also here so use caution with that grill and the fuels it may require. Be sure the little ones are away from the hope grill and playing out of dis-tance of the backyard Chef.
Enjoy your Spring! Till next time Stay Safe!

hawaiian luauRiver City Excellence in
Historic Preservation AwardsLet’s celebrate! The River
Cities, including Bellevue, Dayton, Newport, Covington and Ludlow, are hosting their Excellence in Preservation Awards on May 28 at 6:30 at Corpus Christi Apartments in Newport. It’s when we come together and celebrate the peo-ple and projects that move our communities forward while preserving our past, much like our city motto says, “preserv-ing the past, preparing for the future”. This award presen-tation is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Why do we have a Histor-ic Preservation Ordinance?
In response to the destruc-tion of older buildings and neighborhoods in the immedi-ate post-World War II years, the National Historic Preser-vation Act of 1966 (NHPA) signaled America’s commit-ment to preserving its heritage. In 1987 the City of Bellevue established the Bellevue His-toric Preservation Ordinance as a declaration of purpose and public policy on the pres-ervation of historic areas and buildings. The goals include: protecting our historic char-acter; promoting the educa-tional, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the people and safeguard our city’s his-tory and heritage; stabilize and improve property values; fos-ter civic pride, strengthen our
economy, protect and enhance our historic assets to residents and visitors that stimulates business; and enhance the vi-sual and aesthetic character and interest of the city.
Think about our historic fabric. When you see wavy glass windows think about how they were handmade over 100 years ago. Those old window sashes and moldings were made out of old growth wood that does not exist in to-day’s marketplace. Historic ornamentation was created by craftsman by hand. Each piece item helps tell the story and contribute to the beauty and value of Bellevue.
Our local historic districts have also helped Bellevue through the economic down-turns and when we experi-enced the impact of the flight to the suburbs. Preservation is an effective community and economic development tool and Bellevue is a great exam-ple of proving it works.
Other preservation newsCurrently a commit-
tee made up of the Bellevue
Historic Preservation Com-mission and users of the Bel-levue’s Taylor’s Daughters and Fairfield Avenue His-toric Guidelines are working with a contractor, Corn Is-land Archaeology, to update our guidelines. The National Park Service and Kentucky Heritage Council recommend updating the guidelines peri-odically. We are fortunate to have received a Certified Lo-cal Government (CLG) grant to cover the cost of the update. We’re excited to be able to en-hance what we have to: make the guidelines easier to work with, include contemporary needs and helpful hints, along with adding more illustrations.
It has been my great honor to serve as Pastor of Light-house Ministries for the past thirty four years. My wife and I began this ministry in Sil-ver Grove KY and after a few short years God began to bless our efforts and a church was established. Soon we ran out of space and God opened up a door to purchase a building in Dayton and we served in that community several years un-til God once again blessed us with another building in the city of Bellevue. So it was in 2002 that we made the move and have served in this com-munity for the past thirteen years. It has been a great honor and a pleasure to work with the wonderful people in this great church known as Lighthouse Ministries. It has been a won-derful experience and we have ministered to many awesome people during this season of our ministry. We now feel that we are entering into a new sea-son of service in our ministry and have recently retired as
Pastor of the Lighthouse.It is with great honor that
I announce the newly elected Pastor. He is Rev. Samuel Diedenhofer,a native of the Northern Ky area and a great man of God. He has a pas-sion for people and a heart to serve in this community. This is a new season for him and his family and the Light-house ministries congregation. I have absolute confidence in him and know that the future of the lighthouse is in good hands. We invite you to be-come a part as we celebrate a new season with an official in-stallation service on May 30th @ 2:00 pm. with a reception to follow. We welcome you to meet and greet and become a part of this great celebration.
Words cannot express how much we have enjoyed serving in this great church and com-munity so continue to pray for us as we begin our new season of change.
Sincerely, WI Smith

By Terry BauteHappy Memorial Day!Memorial Day is upon us
once again. Thanks to all of our veterans and their fami-lies for their sacrifices made to keep and protect our freedom and way of life. May God bless you all and keep you safe for your service to our country! The weather sure has had its ups and downs and the grass is growing like crazy. I know it is hard to keep up with grass cutting especially with spring and all the rain we have had and are forecasted in the next couple of weeks. Please make an effort to cut it when the op-portunity presents itself. When it gets out of control it makes it more difficult on your weed eaters and lawn mowers.
CSI is doing a great job on our trash pickup but they are still having problems with
residents placing too much at the curb. We continue to have set outs from people moving. Remember all furniture espe-cially fabric furniture must be placed in a plastic bag. The city is making it easier for all of you by ordering and selling heavy plastic bags for our cost of $3.00 per bag. This is one of ordinances and carries a fine of $100.00 for violating this ordi-nance. Also please put lids on your cans. With all the rain in the spring, containers without lids take on water and can be-come very heavy at times. One last issue on garbage, don’t use card board boxes for gar-bage or debris. The cardboard becomes soggy and breaks open when they pick it up. If it breaks they do not pick up the garbage for you. The city ap-preciates your cooperation on this issue.

transPortation? Woodsman, spare that
tree…er…that snag! Snags, or “wildlife trees,”--standing dead or dying trees--can pro-vide more habitat for wild-life dead than they can alive. Snags are important for wild-life in both natural and land-scaped settings, occurring as a result of disease, lightning, fire, animal damage, too much shade, drought, root competi-tion, and ultimately old age.
Birds and small mammals depend upon snags for nests, nurseries, storage areas, for-aging, roosting, and perching. Decaying wood provides food for insects—food for many of our birds! Live trees with
snag-like features, such as hol-low trunks, excavated cavities, and dead branches can provide similar wildlife value. Snags occurring along streams and shorelines (such as we have in Bellevue) eventually may fall into the water, adding impor-tant woody debris to aquatic habitat. Limbless trunks are often more decayed and may have more and larger cavities for shelter and nesting. Who will thank you? Cavity nester, from pileated woodpeckers who can actually excavate,

Just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed working with other presenters at the Grandview Elementary School Exploring Our Future Day just completed at Grandview El-ementary. My compliments to Teresa Allen for a well planned and executed event, I had a ball with the kids and I am confident they learned a lot from all the excellent pre-senters. Next Friday May 1st Lincoln Elementary School is having their Spring Festival and Fireman Joe is happy to be invited and will be a presenter and have a demonstration at that event. With that being said, I hardly know where the school year has gone, with only one month left I hate how time is passing by so quickly. I will say without hesitation how much I enjoy spending time at all our Dayton and Bel-
levue Schools, the students, teachers and staff truly make my day.
I hope everyone has taken to heart regarding my message from last month on Spring Cleaning and have begun your household checks. While I am at it, I know the grass is need-ing cut so use caution with that lawnmower and fuel it will need. When you are doing other yard chores and duties, be sure to take breaks, drink lots of water and be sure you have had your lunch or dinner. Speaking of food, Barbeque time is also here so use caution with that grill and the fuels it may require. Be sure the little ones are away from the hope grill and playing out of dis-tance of the backyard Chef.
Enjoy your Spring! Till next time Stay Safe!

hawaiian luauRiver City Excellence in
Historic Preservation AwardsLet’s celebrate! The River
Cities, including Bellevue, Dayton, Newport, Covington and Ludlow, are hosting their Excellence in Preservation Awards on May 28 at 6:30 at Corpus Christi Apartments in Newport. It’s when we come together and celebrate the peo-ple and projects that move our communities forward while preserving our past, much like our city motto says, “preserv-ing the past, preparing for the future”. This award presen-tation is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Why do we have a Histor-ic Preservation Ordinance?
In response to the destruc-tion of older buildings and neighborhoods in the immedi-ate post-World War II years, the National Historic Preser-vation Act of 1966 (NHPA) signaled America’s commit-ment to preserving its heritage. In 1987 the City of Bellevue established the Bellevue His-toric Preservation Ordinance as a declaration of purpose and public policy on the pres-ervation of historic areas and buildings. The goals include: protecting our historic char-acter; promoting the educa-tional, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the people and safeguard our city’s his-tory and heritage; stabilize and improve property values; fos-ter civic pride, strengthen our
economy, protect and enhance our historic assets to residents and visitors that stimulates business; and enhance the vi-sual and aesthetic character and interest of the city.
Think about our historic fabric. When you see wavy glass windows think about how they were handmade over 100 years ago. Those old window sashes and moldings were made out of old growth wood that does not exist in to-day’s marketplace. Historic ornamentation was created by craftsman by hand. Each piece item helps tell the story and contribute to the beauty and value of Bellevue.
Our local historic districts have also helped Bellevue through the economic down-turns and when we experi-enced the impact of the flight to the suburbs. Preservation is an effective community and economic development tool and Bellevue is a great exam-ple of proving it works.
Other preservation newsCurrently a commit-
tee made up of the Bellevue
Historic Preservation Com-mission and users of the Bel-levue’s Taylor’s Daughters and Fairfield Avenue His-toric Guidelines are working with a contractor, Corn Is-land Archaeology, to update our guidelines. The National Park Service and Kentucky Heritage Council recommend updating the guidelines peri-odically. We are fortunate to have received a Certified Lo-cal Government (CLG) grant to cover the cost of the update. We’re excited to be able to en-hance what we have to: make the guidelines easier to work with, include contemporary needs and helpful hints, along with adding more illustrations.
It has been my great honor to serve as Pastor of Light-house Ministries for the past thirty four years. My wife and I began this ministry in Sil-ver Grove KY and after a few short years God began to bless our efforts and a church was established. Soon we ran out of space and God opened up a door to purchase a building in Dayton and we served in that community several years un-til God once again blessed us with another building in the city of Bellevue. So it was in 2002 that we made the move and have served in this com-munity for the past thirteen years. It has been a great honor and a pleasure to work with the wonderful people in this great church known as Lighthouse Ministries. It has been a won-derful experience and we have ministered to many awesome people during this season of our ministry. We now feel that we are entering into a new sea-son of service in our ministry and have recently retired as
Pastor of the Lighthouse.It is with great honor that
I announce the newly elected Pastor. He is Rev. Samuel Diedenhofer,a native of the Northern Ky area and a great man of God. He has a pas-sion for people and a heart to serve in this community. This is a new season for him and his family and the Light-house ministries congregation. I have absolute confidence in him and know that the future of the lighthouse is in good hands. We invite you to be-come a part as we celebrate a new season with an official in-stallation service on May 30th @ 2:00 pm. with a reception to follow. We welcome you to meet and greet and become a part of this great celebration.
Words cannot express how much we have enjoyed serving in this great church and com-munity so continue to pray for us as we begin our new season of change.
Sincerely, WI Smith

By Terry BauteHappy Memorial Day!Memorial Day is upon us
once again. Thanks to all of our veterans and their fami-lies for their sacrifices made to keep and protect our freedom and way of life. May God bless you all and keep you safe for your service to our country! The weather sure has had its ups and downs and the grass is growing like crazy. I know it is hard to keep up with grass cutting especially with spring and all the rain we have had and are forecasted in the next couple of weeks. Please make an effort to cut it when the op-portunity presents itself. When it gets out of control it makes it more difficult on your weed eaters and lawn mowers.
CSI is doing a great job on our trash pickup but they are still having problems with
residents placing too much at the curb. We continue to have set outs from people moving. Remember all furniture espe-cially fabric furniture must be placed in a plastic bag. The city is making it easier for all of you by ordering and selling heavy plastic bags for our cost of $3.00 per bag. This is one of ordinances and carries a fine of $100.00 for violating this ordi-nance. Also please put lids on your cans. With all the rain in the spring, containers without lids take on water and can be-come very heavy at times. One last issue on garbage, don’t use card board boxes for gar-bage or debris. The cardboard becomes soggy and breaks open when they pick it up. If it breaks they do not pick up the garbage for you. The city ap-preciates your cooperation on this issue.

Remember that if you start a project that requires a permit and you don’t have one, the job will be stopped. There is also a penalty attached to the permit fee. If you are uncertain whether you need a permit for a project please call me and I will be more than happy to work with you and conduct an onsite visit. Contractors must obtain an occupational license prior to beginning a project. If they start a project without a license, the job will be stopped until they purchase this license and a penalty will be applied.
Finally there are many rental properties in City of Bellevue. Too often when a problem or situation exists we are unable to contact the owner of that property due to lack of contact information. Many times a city official needs to get in touch with an owner and it important to con-tact a property owner. We are trying to protect your invest-ment so please provide this information when you renew the rental license agreement. If you or someone you know has rental property located in the city of Bellevue please be advised that we require rental information in case of a situ-ation where it is imperative to advise the landlord/owner. Thank you for your help on this important matter.
Did you know?The Madden home located
at 214 Washington Ave. is hav-ing a home make-over start-ing on May 16th, 2015. This project is being completed in honor of their son Russell Madden after losing his life while fighting for his country and our freedom. If you are interested in helping with this project you can call the project coordinator Mr. Michael Bar-rett at 513-557-8727. You can donate your time, talents and prayers for this worthy project.

At the First Baptist Church of Bellevue, each Sunday, we have been going through a ser-mon series through the book of Mark. The book of Mark is kind of like a biography on the life and ministry of Jesus. We have been blessed to turn to the scriptures and read about the love, compassion, kind-ness, boldness, power, and teaching of Christ. It is a re-markable journey to examine how Jesus impacted the world that he entered into and the model he gave us as believers. I would like to share with you some aspects of what we have learned as a church through this sermon series.
As his fame and renown increased, Jesus still insisted upon making time to be alone in prayer with the Father (Mark 1:35-37). In the busy-ness that bombards our lives in the 21st Century, Jesus serves as an example that it is vital to be alone in prayer with God. The Savior teaches us to be people who accept others and love all. Yet, he teaches us that we are all sick with the spiri-tual illness of sin. While Jesus loves us right where we are, he refuses to leave us in our sin and calls us to righteousness (Mark 2:15-17). The Mes-siah taught that the law was given so that we may do good to others, not as a religious exercise void of love (Mark 3:1-6). The Son of God has not promised that our life will be free from storms. Yet, to all who have called upon him for salvation, he promises to be with us in the midst of the
storms of life (Mark 4:35-41). In a world of brokenness and pain, it is the Son of Man who can bring peace to a person’s life, even when all the past at-tempts of others have failed (Mark 5:1-20). As Jesus was performing ministry, he taught his followers that his work cannot be accomplished in isolation or seclusion. Rather, Christians need one another to accomplish the goals of God (Mark 6:7-13). He proclaimed that faith is not something we can just speak with our words, but must be sincerely lived out in our everyday lives (Mark 7:6-16). The Lord told us not to base our significance on the treasures of this world, but to deny ourselves and fol-low him, because he alone can save our souls (Mark 8:34-38). While Jesus taught and proclaimed the Kingdom of God, the Father himself urges us to listen and follow Jesus, his beloved son (Mark 9:7). While everything that Christ taught has incredible value, it was Jesus who proclaimed his main purpose for coming to this world was to die as a ran-som for our sins that we may be forgiven (Mark 10:45). The Good Shepherd not only came and proclaimed that we could be forgiven of our sins, but he also insisted we forgive those who have wronged us (Mark 11:25-26). And, it was Jesus who proclaimed the most im-portant aspect our lives, the very purpose for which we were designed, was to love God and others (Mark 12:29-31).
