TAYLOR MILL — Colton Bay-less’ eyes grow wide as he andhis preschool classmates stepinto the Racing to Read van.
Books climb the walls on ei-ther side of the Kenton CountyLibrary’s mobile library. Therainbow from the spines of thebooks makes for a cheery sceneon a dreary July 3 afternoon atAbby’s Child Enrichment Cen-ter in Taylor Mill. Baylessmakes a selection with a smileand asks children’s outreachcoordinator Micha Millwood toenjoy a quick read with him.
“The children and the li-brary both benefit from ourservice,” Millwood said of thelibrary’s outreach program,Racing to Read.
“The bookmobile is bringingthe library experience to thosewho might otherwise miss out.We are grooming life-longlearners who will continue to bepatrons of the library, we hope,for the rest of their lives,” Mill-
wood said.Every day, the outreach co-
ordinators take the Racing toRead van to visit a KentonCounty preschool. This pro-gram is one of several outreachprograms offered by the li-brary in an attempt to make thelibrary a viable part of the com-munity, said Wynita Worley,outreach services coordinator.
“Our society is so busy it’simportant for us at the libraryto adapt,” she said. “We’reworking to make ourselves use-ful so patrons can take advan-tage of all the library has to of-fer in a way that works forthem.”
The library offers severaloutreach programs: Racing toRead, Homebound Servicesand Bilingual Resources.
Racing to ReadRacing to Read was
launched in 2003 as a way to in-troduce children to books andreading so they are prepared tolearn to read when they enterkindergarten. The visits from
the library include story timeand an opportunity to check outtwo books, one for each hand,from the Racing to Read van.The kids get to keep the bookfor a month, but must returnthem during the next visit. Li-brary also provides books forthe teachers in the classroom.
“This program is good be-cause it introduces children tobooks and reading,” Worleysaid. “They become immersedin a story during reading timeand then have time to select abook of interest for them-selves.”
Worley said the outreachprogram is a way to get youngpeople familiar with the li-brary. The response has beenoverwhelming. In just themonth of June, the Racing toRead van reached more than1,000 preschool students inKenton County. Centers are ona waiting list.

FORT MITCHELL — Growingup Matthew Zahler was not amodel citizen.
“My dad had all the reasons tosend me to military school whenI was young,” he said with alaugh.
His father, Dennis Zahler,agrees. He can clearly recallsome of Matthew’s most notori-ous moments.
“One instance was when mywife and I were at dinner. Mattwas staying with a friend and wehad our other two children athome with a sitter,” Dennis Zah-ler said. “We got a call from thesitter that someone was trying tobreak in the house and wasjumping on the roof of the fam-ily room. She called the FortMitchell Police and by the timewe got home the police hadfound no one. We found out laterthat it was Matt and his friend.”
Another time the Zahlerscame home to find Matthew’sbrother lying half way out of thefamily room door to the garage,duct-taped like a mummy.
“I always have said that hewas who we worried about themost when he was growing upand now we worry about him theleast, except when he is de-ployed,” Dennis Zahler said.
One day, during his junioryear at Beechwood High School,Matthew Zahler decided it wastime to “grow up.” He joined theArmy Reserve on a six-year de-layed entry plan.
“I liked it,” he said. “I neededthe discipline. It was good for meand it’s worked out well.”
After graduating in 1993, heentered the Army Reserve as afull-time soldier and eventuallyjoined the Air Force, where henow serves as an air mobility li-aison officer. Now, Capt. Mat-thew Zahler provides expertiseon the efficient use of air mobil-ity assets to the Army.
He’s seen a lot in his 22 yearsof military service, including 13deployments to Iraq and Af-ghanistan.
According to 1st Lt. JacobBailey, chief of public affairs forthe 621st Contingency ResponseWing, while the deployment av-erage for career fields acrossthe Air Force varies, air mobilityliaison officers (AMLOs) likeZahler “possess a unique skillset and present a highly-soughtafter capability to commandersduring contingencies.”
“AMLOs train, advise, andeducate Army and Marine Corpsforces on the Air Mobility enter-
prise, coordinate air mobilitycommand and control aspects ofan exercise or operation, andconduct drop zone and landingzone operations,” he said. “Capt.Zahler's 13 deployments certain-ly reflect a high operations tem-po that AMLOs across the AirMobility Command communitycontinue to support, wheneverand wherever needed.”
Recently, while on vacationleave, Zahler, 40, revisited hishometown of Fort Mitchell,where he was recognized by thecity for his service. A proclama-tion was read and July 6 wasnamed as Capt. Matthew ZahlerDay in the city.
According to Mayor JudeHehman, Zahler’s high schoolclassmate, called it a privilege tohonor his old friend.
“We’ve known each otherpractically all of our lives. Wewent to grade school and highschool together,” Hehman said.“To take the path he has takenand serving 13 tours takes an in-credible, special person andfamily.”
Zahler’s father and city coun-cil member Dennis Zahler saidhe and his wife are “so veryproud” of their son.
“He has accomplished muchin his career,” Dennis Zahlersaid. “With having more thanseven years of deployed duty inhis 13 deployments he has alsobeen a great husband to his wifeand father to his children. Hehas served his country well.”
Matthew Zahler gives creditto his wife.
“She has been a blessing,” hesaid. “She’s gone through a lot,when others would have left orthreatened to leave after thefourth deployment, she hasstayed. We met between deploy-ments, dated, married and and

FLORENCE — Possiblerivalries may developamong local police depart-ments this year, but it’s fora worthy cause.
The first “Dodge-A-Cop” dodgeball tourna-ment to benefit SpecialOlympics Kentucky willtake place at 11 a.m. Satur-day, July 25 at BooneCounty High School. Busi-
nesses, organizations andmembers of the communi-ty are invited to formteams of 6 to 8 players andget creative with a nameand uniforms.
All proceeds from reg-istration and admissionwill fund Special Olym-pics programs in Ken-tucky.
The tournament is partof the Law EnforcementTorch Run, a series of an-nual events involvingmore than 85,000 officersinternationally to benefitSpecial Olympics pro-grams in their communi-ties. The annual DHLPlane Pull at the airport isalso part of this program.
“I think it’s just an ave-nue to give back to thecommunity,” said Lt. TonySteimle of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Inter-
national Airport PoliceDepartment. “Try to raisemoney and awareness,and at the same time havea fun time.”
The mission of Special
Olympics is to provideyouth and adults with in-tellectual disabilities theopportunity to “demon-strate courage, experi-ence joy and participate ina sharing of gifts, skillsand friendship” by train-ing and competing in a va-riety of sports. Local pro-grams are run completelyby volunteers, which iswhy fundraising from pro-grams like the Torch Run
is vital.Steimle developed the
dodgeball idea last year,but his committee of offi-cers from the airport, Co-vington, Boone Countyand Florence police de-partments wasn’t able toprocure a gym until thisyear, when Boone CountyHigh School donatedtheirs.
Boone County has alsoshown support in other
ways: the football teamagreed to sell concessionsand school resource offi-cer Chris Combs helpedobtain a bouncy-house toentertain kids.
Registered “Dodge-A-Cop” teams will be placedin a double-eliminationbracket based on similar-ity of skill, and the tourna-ment will be played withofficial National Dodge-ball League dodgeballs.Winners will receive T-shirts and bragging rights.
“Dodgeball… is just afun activity,” said Steimle.“I think everybody can re-late to it… whether it begrade school or highschool, I think every-body’s played dodgeball ingym class.”
As for organizing a sec-ond Dodge-A-Cop event,Steimle says, “absolutely.”

two children between de-ployments. She’s a rock.”
Zahler said he has en-joyed his career in the mil-itary and has three yearsleft before retirement. Hesaid one of his most proudmoments was after hissecond deployment as anair mobility liaison officer,when the Army presentedhim with a Bronze Star,which is rarely given tomilitary members in otherbranches of service, hesaid. The Bronze Star rec-ognizes acts of heroismperformed in ground com-bat and recognizes singleacts of merit and merito-rious service.
Another importantcareer accomplishmentwas in 1994 when he hadhis first six-month de-ployment to Haiti dur-ing Operation RestoreDemocracy, he said. Heserved as a bodyguardfor then Haiti presiden-tial candidate Jean Ber-trand Aristide.
Even more than thetime he spent in theArmy, Zahler said hislove of flying and histime spent in the AirForce helped fulfill alifetime dream.
“Flying planes was adream come true,” hesaid. “That’s somethingI had wanted to do eversince I can remember.”
Of his 13 deploy-ments, nine came sincehe has been in the AirForce, times he de-scribes as most danger-ous. Zahler credits hisfaith for sustaining him.
“I’ve been blessed,”he said. “The Lord haswatched over me.”

month,” Worley said.Come September, the
library will visit a total of40 preschools. Whenschool starts again, they’llserve upwards of 1,500kids a month, she said.
Homebound ServiceThe library’s Home-
bound Service providesaccess to reading materi-al for older adults andthose who have disabili-ties that may preventthem from being able tovisit the library.
Again, everyday li-brary staff membersmake runs to senior cen-ters or individual homes.Sometimes, Worley saidthe library plans a specialpresentation at the seniorcenter they’re visiting.Programs range from his-tory and gardening, togames and trivia competi-tions.
This program has beenavailable since the 1980s.“We have well over 500homebound card hold-ers,” Worley said. “Ourhomebound patrons areso appreciative of this ser-vice. It really keeps themconnected to the commu-nity and keeps them up ontheir hobbies and inter-ests. They also enjoy theinteractions with staffmembers.”
Bilingual ResourcesThe library makes a
consistent effort to reachnon-English speaking pa-trons. Every other weekthe Erlanger branch has
bilingual story time. Bi-lingual Story Time is pre-sented in English andSpanish. It is an opportu-nity for young children toengage through stories,finger plays, music andactivities, said children’sservices coordinator LiseTewes.
The library also hostsspecial events throughoutthe year like El día de losniños/El día de los libros(Children’s Day/BookDay) in April, the Philip-pine Independence Day inJune, and National His-panic Heritage Month inSeptember.
“Through these eventswe’ve gotten to knowmore (non-English)speaking families andthese events are helpingus to spread the word thatthe library is a good placeto be, we are here to helpeveryone in the communi-ty,” Tewes said.
According to Tewes,about seven years ago, aSpanish-speaking patronwho wanted her son tohave a better understand-ing of English helped thelibrary to start the Read-ing Buddies program. Inthe program, children areread to by adult volun-teers. The program, opento all library patrons, isfor children ages 2 to 12.
The library also offersan online Spanish catalogand other online re-sources at its web sitewww.kentonlibrary.org.

ALEXANDRIA — BishopBrossart High School newtheater enabled a newsummer drama campwhere students includingMaura MacDonald per-form on a stage instead ofcafeteria tables.
Creation of a dramacamp for grades K-8shows the school’s focuson arts outreach, saidcamp director Robbie Tie-man, 23, of Alexandria.Camp participants cappedoff a week of lessons witha July 18 performance.
Tieman is a teacher atSt. Henry District HighSchool in Erlanger and a2010 Bishop Brossartgraduate.
“Back when we didplays here we were in thecafeteria performing onall the tables pushed to-gether,” Tieman said.
Having a camp is a way
for the community to takeadvantage Bishop Bros-sart’s new MunninghoffFamily Performing ArtsCenter, he said. The thea-ter, with seating for 420people, was part of an $8million 35,000 square feetaddition and renovationfinished last summer.
MacDonald, 11, of Alex-andria, said she came tocamp because it soundsfun and she wants to be onstage.
“I just like being infront of people,” she said.
MacDonald, who willenter sixth grade in thefall at St. Mary School,said she plans to be in dra-ma when she gets to Bish-op Brossart.
Tieman had help di-recting the camp from hisfellow Northern Ken-tucky University theaterprogram graduate Miran-da Hamilton of West Har-rison, Ind.
Hamilton directed
dance steps and singingcues during a rehearsal aschoreography director.Camp lessons go beyondacting, she said.
“They will learn aboutstage makeup and cos-tumes and just the entireprocess of being able toput on a show,” Hamilton
said.Bishop Brossart Prin-
cipal Dan Ridder said dra-ma performances wereoff campus at St. Joseph
Parish in Cold Spring orhappened in the cafeteriaprior to having the newtheater.
A theater with lighting,sound system and stagehas given drama teacherNikki Bradley’s studentproductions a new home,he said.
“When your facilitiesare improved at this level,boy, do you get a lot ofsmiles and enthusiasm,”Ridder said.
Tieman came to Brad-ley with the idea for thecamp, which extends theuse of the “awesome”theater, Ridder said.
“It’s actually extendingour arts out to the commu-nity,” he said.
Having the camp is away to expand a youngstudent’s initial interest inthe arts and try drama,Ridder said.
“You never knowwhere that will take thatkid,” he said.

Those of you who have anything planted in theground are in the same boat we are: water and winddamage everywhere.
The veggie and herb gardens havetaken a hit with the latest round ofstorms and damaging winds. Theywere both beautiful, since I was hoe-ing and weeding every other day. ButMother Nature has a way of puttingme in my place when I get just a littletoo proud. The flower rows are flat-tened, and the Dent corn is horizontal.
Grandson Jack’s cabbage, though,is looking great, and the vining veg-gies and melons are holding their own.I’m looking on the bright side.
I love this watermelon salad recipe. It all startedwith Sue Marks, when I appeared on her radio show,Food Thoughts, for the Cincinnati Association forthe Blind and Visually Impaired. Any time I guestwith Sue, it’s a party. Sue can make me smile with
just a twinkle in her eye.The theme was summer salads and desserts. Sue
talked about Bobbie Deen’s watermelon salad. Here’smy adaptation, and it was one of the salads I had thechildren make during a recent garden to table classfor kids. Did they love it? Nothing was left in the bowl,so that’s a yes!
Readers want to knowWhat size pan for “Quick coffeecake” recipe?I was bombarded with inquiries for the coffeecake
and the Solo almond filling for the pound cake recipepublished a few weeks ago. This should clear both up.
For the coffeecake, I used a 9 inch Pyrex pie platebut an 8x8 pan will work well.
Solo almond cake and pastry filling: where do I findit?
Jungle Jims Fairfield and Eastgate are both carry-ing it again. They did have it earlier but a reader saidthey ran out. (I’m assuming after the recipe was pub-lished). Some readers found it at a couple of Meijer’s
and Walmart but not at some Kroger stores. Hopefullyall three will be carrying it now. Call the store beforegoing.
Refrigerator/freezer picklesSeveral of you misplaced the recipe. It’s in my on-
line column.

Watermelon with mint and feta
Use the ripest melon. Check out my site Abouteating.comfor tips on buying melons.
Fill a bowl with cut watermelon, about 3 pounds or so.Add feta cheese, about 1/2 cup or more.Add a good handful fresh mint, torn or chopped – more is
better.Set aside while you prepare onion:Thinly slice 1/2 of small red onion and put in bowl.Mix together 1/4 cup each seasoned rice wine vinegar or
white balsamic vinegar and vegetable oil.Pour over onion and let sit a few minutes.Pour onion mixture over watermelon mixture and toss
gently. Add salt and pepper if you like.Why this recipe is good for you:» Watermelon contains B vitamins and folate, especially
good for women of child-bearing years. It also contains lyco-pene, which is good for prostate health.
» Eat at room temperature! The lycopene increases atroom temperature.
» Mint contains fiber and is good for digestion.» Onions enhance heart health.
Oven “fried” zucchini spears with Romanocheese crust
For those of you who are wishing you had yet anotherrecipe for all that zucchini, here’s a nice one.
Several small or medium size zucchini, cut into spearsFlour2 egg whites, beaten1 cup Panko or other bread crumbs3/4 cup Romano cheese1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or lemon pepper1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)Preheat oven to 425 and spray cookie sheets.Dredge zucchini in flour, then coat all over with egg
whites. Mix crumbs, cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powdertogether and coat spears all over. Place on cookie sheets insingle layer and roast about 25 minutes.

The bus with oddly cur-tained windows trudged upthe steep mountainside with20 eager individuals in tow.My eyes were glued to theunfamiliar landscape dottedwith scrap metal houses andstrangers’ curious stares.
It was a two-hour bus rideto the school we were to paintalongside the Santo DomingoRotary Club and what wouldbe our first project of manyon the island. Upon our arriv-al, we all filtered out of thebus into an oppressive heatthat seemed to ignore theshadow cast by dense, grayclouds looming over themountain peaks. With thethreat of rain, the grouperupted into a scramble.
Teams were formed, andjobs issued. The walls wereall painted a yellow thatlooked almost sickly on itsown, so we began paintingcharming little scenes tomake it more inviting. So, oncame the dinosaurs, flowers,
puppy dogs,and a wholeconglomer-ation of pre-cious littledrawings.
I, a LloydHigh Schoolstudent, foundmyself paint-ing somepuffy whiteclouds andswooping
gulls while Addia Wuchner, astate representative, painteda beckoning sea beneaththem. Working with her onthat first day revealed to methat there wasn’t such a gapbetween our different walksof life as I previously hadthought. We were all sweaty,paint-splattered messes thatday.
There was a long whilewhere I was lost in my work,but as I took a step back toreview my progress I noticeda small crowd of children and
a few adults had formed at thegates. I saw them with beam-ing, laughing faces. I sawthem pointing at pieces theyliked and chatting with thepainters. I’d like to think thatthey were the same childrenwho would be attending theschool, but maybe they werejust fascinated by the pecu-liarly speaking foreigners intheir quaint village.
All I knew at the time wasthat, someday soon, childrenwould be greeted by a shiningsea and friendly flowers ev-ery sleepy morning and nolonger feel disregarded bythe world. I just wanted themto feel like they mattered, andI believe we were able to ac-complish that. With all of thehouses, schools, and churcheswe painted, the children fromthe schools and the orphanagewe visited, all of the clothes,sports equipment, school andmedical supplies we donated,we maintained that mentality.
We endured six long days
of sweat stains, mosquitobites, and paint that just re-fuses to come off. However, itis an immensely satisfyingfeeling to leave a place betterthan you found it; to knowthat someone is now better offbecause you chose to takeaction. Too many of today’syouth are idle, and remainunexposed to the hardships ofworld outside our own privi-leged one.
Adolescents are accus-tomed to hard work in an aca-demic or laborious light, butvery few have charitableexperience that teaches hu-mility and selflessness thatcan’t be taught elsewhere.That is why I am so gratefulto the Kenton County andFlorence Rotary foundationsfor providing me and manyother teens the opportunity togo to the Dominican Republic.Clubs and organizations likeRotary are not only changinglives of the less fortunate, butlives like mine as well.
It was easy for me to re-main indifferent when I wasconstantly sheltered from theunpleasant truth of things,but once I was exposed toanother’s harsh reality I couldno longer bring myself to lookthe other way. I never knewhow easy it could be to make adifference when you arealongside friends compelledto do the same, and I will nev-er again allow myself to becomplacent as long as there iswork yet to be done.
Isabel Harrison is a junior at LloydHigh School who participated in amission trip to the Dominican Re-publican in June. The trip was spon-sored by the Rawlings Foundation,Florence Rotary Foundation and theKenton County Rotary. Sixteenyouths and four adults on the tripinteracted with local residents,school children, and residents of anorphanage. They also painted sixhomes, one small church, and asecurity wall around a primaryschool.

Greater Cincinnati is nobush-league region.
However, if you judge a re-gion’s vibrancy by the diversityand value of its airline service,we come up short.
Thankfully, Kenton CountyJudge-Executive Kris Knoch-elmann has set in motion a planto reverse course. He haspushed for changes in the Ken-ton County Airport Boardstructure that should lead togreater transparency and eco-nomic growth and give the re-gion the kind of airline serviceit merits.
Knochelmann was in favorof reducing his own power toappoint all executive boardmembers, and capped theamount of money board mem-bers can spend on travel. Nomore lavish, boozy trips –sometimes out of the country –for board members and theirspouses on the company dime.
Knochelmann’s moves caninspire confidence in the waythe airport is governed andpave the way for greater com-petition among air carriers, asDelta’s long-term contract withthe airport ends in December.
While the airport has recentlyattracted lower-cost airlinessuch as Allegiant Air, Delta hasbeen the dominant carrier formore than 40 years.
Under its reign, Cincinnatiairfares rose to among thehighest in the nation while ourtravel options steadily dwin-dled. Delta has cut hundreds offlights over the past decade.Charter carriers emerged, pro-viding a smattering of limitedbut attractive business and lei-sure travel options. Dayton orColumbus have welcomed itsshare of Cincinnati-area travel-ers seeking better deals.
While the change in theboard governance is good, it isunfortunate Ohio representa-tion on the board is prohibitedby the Kentucky state Legisla-ture. What a short-sighted deci-sion considering most airportcustomers are from Ohio. Someforward-thinking Kentuckylawmaker should try to correctthis mistake at the first chance.
Meanwhile, Knochelmanncan consider appointing moreleaders with deep ties on bothsides of the Ohio River to joinexisting members from FifthThird Bank, Kroger and Castel-lini Group who live in NorthernKentucky.
Knochelmann should alsostrongly consider beefing upthe board’s racial and ethnic di-versity, given the departure ofCincinnati State UniversityPresident, Dr. O’dell Owens,the lone African Americanmember on the board.
The strength of a region’sairport represents tip of thespear of economic develop-ment and is a point of pride.Many travelers can rememberwhen Cincinnati boasted dailyinternational flights and manynon-stop fares to major cities.
While 9/11 and other forcessignificantly disrupted the air-line industry, there is no reasonGreater Cincinnati can’t re-claim a dominant market posi-tion.
We are encouraged by thisnew way forward.
EDITORIAL
A positive wayforward for CVG
Syringe exchangeprogram can save lives
As an activist Republican,I was shocked and embar-rassed to see RepublicanState Sen. John Schickelequate needle exchange pro-grams with the Holocaust.
Schickel said, “The exter-mination of Jews in WorldWar II was done in the nameof public health.” He thensaid, “Now we have healthofficials and the legislaturetelling us we as taxpayers,must pay for the hardware(needles) for drug users toinject an illegal substanceinto their bodies – all in thename of public health.”
Schickels’s commentsdisplay a degree of ignoranceabout syringe exchange pro-grams that I find appalling.His comments do not reflectthe views of anyone whounderstands the critical na-ture of the addiction to her-oin.
As background, the appro-priate name for the exchange
programs is “Syringe Ex-change Program (SEP).” Theentire syringe with the nee-dle attached is required.Here are some of the benefitsthat SEP programs provide.
SEP gives syringes “val-ue” so users will exchangethem instead of throwingthem away. It is a “one forone” exchange. SEP protectsmembers of the public in-cluding children, first re-sponders, trash collectorsand others from the dangersof infectious wounds anddisease caused by injuryfrom discarded syringes.Turning in the dirty syringesprevents the spread of hepa-titis C (HCV) and HIV.
SEP reduces the rate ofHIV and HCV infectionamong drug users becausethe dirty needles are notshared. Participants in SEPare tested for both HCV andHIV and referred to healthclinics for treatment whenthey are detected. The Hepa-titis C virus is the leadingcause for liver transplants in
the US. SEP also providesfirst aid treatment for bacte-rial infections from needlepuncture wounds.
SEP provides to partici-pants counseling on detox,drug withdrawal, drug treat-ment and life skills. SEPincreases enrollment in drugtreatment programs becausethe SEP administrators areable to gain the trust of theparticipants through theircounseling. Treatment pro-grams can get addicts into acontinuing pattern of recov-ery and help them lead nor-mal lives.
To sum it up, SEP can savelives. Considering the num-ber of heroin overdose deathsbeing reported, SEP is a plus.
Judging from SenatorSchickel’s comments, I be-lieve he and his constituentsneed to learn more about thebenefits of drug treatmentprograms generally. Schickelis becoming an embarrass-ment to Republicans.

Thenext phase of construction hasbegun with additional housing,parking, office, retail and a ho-tel coming soon. When wemoved to the area in 2008, theland between the two stadiumswas a barren wasteland. The
improvements to the water-front area in Cincinnati, New-port and Covington are some-thing to be proud of. It's greatto see the residents from Ohio,Kentucky and Indiana comeout in droves to enjoy all that itoffers.”

Each team was granted twoautomatic picks (one pitcherand one position player) andwas able to nominate six play-ers (two pitchers and four posi-tions players) that went up forvote by the league’s head coach-es.
Ganns, who was the team’sautomatic pick as a positionplayer, was set for first base inthe all-star game. The Burling-ton native led the team (as ofJuly 16) with a .337 batting aver-age. Ganns also leads the Steamwith 16 RBI, 35 hits and is tiedwith the team lead in home runs.The Boone County High Schoolgraduate was a member of theAtlantic Sun All-Freshmanteam for Northern KentuckyUniversity.

» The Florence Freedom hadthree players in the FrontierLeague All-Star Game July 15 inSchaumburg, Ill..
All three players werenamed to the all-star teamthanks to a vote of the league’sgeneral managers, broadcast-ers, managers, coaches and lo-cal media.
Catcher Gaby Juarbe, in-fielder Sam Eberle and infield-er Daniel Fraga represented theteam.
All three players had twoplate appearances for the Eastteam in the all-star game, whichwas won by the West, 4-2.Juarbe and Eberle were 0-for-2,and Fraga was 0-for-1 with awalk.
“Juarbe has really im-pressed our coaching staff, andhis peers, for that matter,” Free-dom manager Dennis Pelfreysaid. “He is off to a fantasticstart this year with a chance tolead us into the playoffs with astrong second half. His offsea-son work has paid off for him,coming in as a second year pro.”
After not getting a lot of play-ing time during the first part ofthe 2014 season, Juarbe got hischance after the Freedom trad-ed 2014 All-Star catcher Joe Sta-ley to River City. In 32 gamesfor Florence in 2014, Juarbe hit.244 with nine RBI while play-ing excellent defense behindthe plate.
This is the second all-star se-lection for Eberle.
“Eberle is a proven playerhere in the Frontier League,”Pelfrey said. “He continues tohit. He is a leader for us, a staplein the middle of our order, and apro. We couldn't ask for a betterfirst baseman on our club. De-fensively he finishes plays forwhat we believe is the best in-field in the league.”
Eberle led the FrontierLeague in OBP in 2014 as hereached base 46.2 percent of thetime he came to the plate. His.346 batting average and 64walks were both good for thirdin the league. The corner in-fielder led the Freedom in near-ly every offensive category in-cluding batting average, runsscored (53), hits (110), doubles(22), home runs (8, tied with RobKelly), RBI (45), total bases(160), walks, OBP, SLG (.503),and OPS (.965). He was namedboth a mid-season and a post-season all-star last season.
This is the first all-star selec-tion for Fraga.
“Fraga has proven to be avery dangerous hitter in thisleague,” Pelfrey said. “He is atough out and is able to fight offtough pitches at the plate alongwith being a threat on the bases.He is one of the best rookies inthe league and an outstandingdefender at second base aswell.”
Fraga played his final twoseasons of college baseball at D-II UNC Pembroke after trans-ferring from Catawba ValleyCommunity College.
The Freedom play at homeJuly 23-26 then are on the roadthrough Aug. 2 before return-ing home Aug. 5-6.

When many people think ofAAU boys basketball, they pic-ture fast breaks, dunks, andlots of points.
Chris McGuire has stresseda more well-rounded approachto his 13-and-under boys bas-ketball team, and that ap-proach helped the team win anational championship earlierthis month.
The NKY Legends Elite wonthe Division 2 national title inGreensboro, North Carolinaplaying in the 22,000-seatGreensboro Coliseum.McGuire said it’s a rare accom-plishment for a local team, pos-sibly the first one ever fromthat age level.
“For the area, it puts North-ern Kentucky on the map, cou-pled with the success Cov Cathhas had at the state level,”McGuire said. “It lets peopleknow there is basketball inNorthern Kentucky.”
The players will all beeighth-graders this fall at eight
different schools, and willeventually land in at least dif-ferent high schools: Beech-wood, Covington Catholic,Highlands, Newport, NewportCentral Catholic and Ryle.
“This group has been to-gether for two years,”McGuire said. “They’re bestfriends off the court eventhough they go to eight differ-ent grade schools. They’re notdominating individual playersbut when they work within thesystem they get great results.”
McGuire, of CrescentSprings, has run the programfor several years, and coachesthe team with Richard Skinner,the head coach who managesthe team in games. The teamhas a 67-12 overall record, witheight of those losses to olderteams.
“We’ve played against big-ger, stronger, faster teams toprepare our kids,” McGuiresaid.
The team has played 15 tour-naments this year, winning 11of them, with two more to comein Indianapolis and Louisville
the rest of the month.They’ve succeeded with de-
fense, rebounding and pa-tience. McGuire said the Leg-ends played teams that wereaveraging 80 points and up inGreensboro and limited themto half that output.
“Kids buying in and playinga certain style of basketball,”McGuire said. “We’re a not atransition team who will score100 points on layups. We runour sets, play halfcourt, getopen shots for all the kids. Westay within the system.”
The team is based atHolmes High School and prac-tices at some other gyms aswell.
“We slow the game downand guard people like it’s no-body’s business,” McGuiresaid. “AAU basketball hasturned into transition and howfast can we get up and down thefloor. We box out and don’t giveup second chance posses-sions.”

The third daywas very important for place-ment into the Gold Bracket.The first team they came upagainst was Milwaukee Sting(MW). On paper, MW shouldhave won, but TSE was on topwith an amazing three setmatch. Next they played DFFOfrom Kalamazoo, Michigan,which once again ended up go-ing to three sets to win anotherclose match. That evening TSEhad to play a crossover matchthat would place them into ei-ther the championship gold orconsolation silver bracket.They played Upward Starsfrom North Dakota and won intwo sets; they made it to Gold!
They had just come backfrom a pre-national Chicagotournament and won only onematch the entire time. The girlswere plagued with injuries allseason with bad shoulders,backs, broken finger, shins, etc.But the stars were all aligned inFlorida and they were allhealthy and happy.
Day four, in the Gold Quar-ter Finals, they played KairosElite from Sioux Falls, SouthDakota, and won two straightsets to win the match. On to thesemifinals playing AXIS fromSouth Carolina. It was anotherclose match going to a tie-breaker third set to win. Theymade it to the finals! The cham-pionship game changed venuesto the ESPN Wide World ofSports Complex that night at 8.Their opponents were North-ern Lights (NL) from Minneso-ta. NL was undefeated thus farin this tournament.

Many claims tout thehealth benefits of coco-nut oil, including weightloss, cancer prevention,and Alzheimer’s disease.So far the scientific
hydrogenated – are allhigh in saturated fat.Saturated fat is solid atroom temperature,tends to raise the levelof cholesterol in theblood, and comes mainlyfrom animal food prod-ucts. Some examples ofsaturated fats are butter,lard, meat fat, solidshortening, palm oil andcoconut oil.
The two main typesof coconut oil used incooking and baking are“virgin” coconut oil and“refined” coconut oil.Virgin is considered tobe unrefined. Refinedcoconut oil is made fromdried coconut pulp thatis often chemicallybleached and deodor-ized.
Since coconuts are aplant and virgin coconut
oil has some antioxidantproperties, some indi-viduals may view it ashealthy. However, virgincoconut oil is high inlauric acid, a type offatty acid that can raiseboth good and bad cho-lesterol levels. Manu-facturers may also useanother form of coconutoil that has further proc-essing – “partially hy-drogenated” coconut oil,which would containtrans fat.
Some research sug-gests coconut oil intakemay be associated witha neutral, if not bene-ficial, effect on choles-terol levels.
Allergy Alert: Coco-nut is considered a treenut. Individuals withtree nut allergies shouldtalk with their healthcare provider beforeusing or eating foodscontaining coconut oil.

Question: What iscausing the round, brownpatches in my otherwisegreen lawn?
Answer: The vast ma-jority of our grasses hereare cool-season types.Grasses such as perennialrye-grass, tall and finefescues, and the well-
knownKen-tuckyblue-grass arethe most
common in our lawnmixes (all of which arecool season grasses).
These grasses willcommonly go dormant inthe summer months afterperiods of intense heat ordrought, often causing abrown and crispy lawn.
Because we’ve had anunusually cool and wetsummer, however, most ofthe lawn issues are goingto be due to diseases andfungi. The most commonissue that causes brownpatches in lawns duringthis kind of weather isBrown Patch Disease(BPD). BPD is more de-structive in fescue andryegrass lawns and istypically more of an issuein younger, recently seed-ed lawns, but it can alsodamage establishedlawns.
These patches are usu-ally roughly circular, anddiagnosis can also comefrom spotting brown le-sions on the blades or web-like fungal growth in theearly morning hours. Fun-gicide application is notrecommended in mostcases, since correct fertil-ization and mowing prac-tices can usually help pre-vent future infections.
Autumn fertilizationwill give lawn ajump-start
Fertilization is an im-portant factor in homelawns. Autumn fertiliza-tion is best for lawns, andhelps keep them goingthrough the winter andgive them a jump-start inthe spring. It can also helprecovery of a lawn if it hasexperienced disease orheat stress during the
summer months. Onepound of actual nitrogen(i.e., 10 pounds of a 10-10-10fertilizer) per 1,000square feet per applica-tion in the fall is recom-mended. Most lawns dowell with two fall applica-tions, about six weeksapart.
Nitrogen is needed bylawns on a yearly basis,but the need for other nu-trients, like phosphorusand potassium, is based onsoil test results. Soil test-ing is a free service pro-vided by the NorthernKentucky Extension Of-fice located in the countyin which you live. Do notfertilize in the summer oroverfeed your lawn be-cause this can cause moreproblems with insects,diseases and weeds.
Mowing height shouldbe increased to 2.5 to 3.0inches during the sum-mer, especially if it getshot and dry, but any lengthmuch greater than thiscan cause decreased air-flow and promote fungalgrowth. Decrease theheight again in the autumnto encourage tillering andspreading of grasses. Dur-ing all seasons, the bladesof the mower should bekept sharp to prevent un-sightly tearing of bladesand reduce browning ofthe tips. This also reducesthe risk of pathogens andfungi entering the plant
through the woundedblades.
When experiencinghome lawn issues, makesure the diagnosis is cor-rect. Browning of the lawncan be caused by a num-ber of things includingheat, drought, chemicalinjury, insects, or evenburied objects. Duringthis atypical cool and wetsummer, however, BPDwill be popping up in manyhome lawns. Maintainhealthy fertilization andmowing practices to getyour lawn through to au-tumn.

I-275 TO MINEOLA PIKE TO DOLWICK TOTURFWAY TO ERLANGER ROAD
SIGNS WILL BE POSTED!!!Being in the auction and estate sale businessfor over 35 years we have seen and sold manyinteresting items. Earlier this year, Cheryl and Ihad the pleasure of meeting Fred Black andhis daughter at his Erlanger home. When I satdown the first thought that ran thru my mindwas is the beautiful cherry furniture in Fred’shome made by Willet or Campbellsville? WhenI asked Fred his reply was, " No sir, I made itall myself." To say the least I was in total aweof the wooden works of art gracing his home.
Here’s the rest of the story starting in 1947...Fred and his beloved wife Betty were farmerson the property Fred still lives on.
