Republican Jon Draud is a legit-imate candidate for the District 2seat of the Kenton County Com-mission per a judge’s rulingAug. 3.
Campbell County Circuit JudgeFred Stine found not only thatDraud had filled out his nominat-ing petition correctly, but also that“jurisdiction” can mean any voterin Kenton County. Stine also dis-missed the claim of Tom Elfers,Draud’s opponent in November,
who had made a motion to dis-miss the suit.
“The language employed bythe legislature does not mandatethat the electors reside in the samedistrict,” Stine stated in his 14-page judgment.
Draud filed the suit after ques-tions arose about Kenton CountyJailer Terry Carl’s signature on hisnominating petition. Carl is not aresident of District 2.
“That was my position allalong that jurisdiction meant Ken-ton County,” Draud said. “It didn’tseem very logical that you could
vote for somebody and can’t signtheir petition.”
While Elfers had stated he wastrying to dismiss the suit becauseit was a “waste of time,” Draudbelieves Elfers was trying to getthe suit dismissed so he couldbring it up again later – therebykeeping the Kenton CountyRepublican Party from naming anew nominee by the deadline.
“I felt he was being dishonestby saying he wanted to focus onthe issues. Really, what he wastrying to do was get me removedfrom the ballot at the appropriate
time,” Draud said.Elfers was also happy that the
suit is over, but he denies he hadother motivations for entering thesuit.
“Maybe he’s spent too muchtime in the political world and toomuch time operating outside thelines of fairness and honesty andmaybe he was assuming I wouldhave acted the same way hewould have,” he said.
Elfers said he told “everyonewho wanted to listen” that the suitwas frivolous and he had no plansto challenge Draud’s filing papers.
Fort Wright City Council voted5-1 to put a special street tax levyon November’s ballot Aug. 4.
Voters can decide whether ornot to be taxed up to 10 cents per$100 of property valuation eachyear, a tax that will generate$500,000 in funds earmarked forthe “exclusive purpose of mainte-nance, repair, and replacement ofstreets, curbs and gutters.”
The rate will be revisited annu-ally by council. The levy is writtento allow council to enact less, butnot more than, 10 cents per $100of assessed value each year.
City Administrator Gary Huffsaid the city will host “two orthree” public hearings to allow
residents to ask questions aboutthe tax.
“If we need more, we’ll havemore,” he said.
Council Member Bernie Wes-sels was the dissenting vote oncouncil, saying he doesn’t thinkan additional tax is right.
“The president and congressare out of control with over-taxa-tion of both business people andresidents,” he said.
Wessels, who owns substantialproperty in Fort Wright, admittedthat if the street tax is passed, itwill affect him.
“I have a lot of property in thecity and I pay a lot of businesstaxes to the city,” he said.
Instead, Wessels is askingcouncil to enact a 30-item list ofcost-saving and revenue-generat-
ing alternatives as well as to ceasework on streets for two years.
However, Council MemberDave Hatter, a member of thecity’s finance committee, said thatit would take too long for Wessels’measures to come to fruition.
“We already spend 20 percentmore than we bring in,” Hatter
said, adding stopping work onstreets isn’t wise because “you’rejust two more years behind.”
Hatter reported in April, whenthe first reading of the tax waspassed 5-1, that if the city contin-ues its spending practices,reserves will continue to declineand the city will be $1.2 million inthe hole in five years.
While Hatter agrees it is a “ter-rible time” for a new tax, he saidas a resident he is willing to investin streets and preserve city proper-ty values.
Since that time, some cost-sav-ings initiatives have already beenenacted, including cutting out Bat-tery Hooper Days, a $4,000 sav-ings, and reducing two full-timeclerks to part-time, saving$40,000 a year.
FortWright voters to decide street taxTax details
A proposed tax increase to appearon this November’s ballot for FortWright residents could increase theirproperty valuation tax rates by 10cents per $100 of value next year ifpassed. The levy would specifically begeared to generate funds to repairstreets and other city infrastructure.The rate would also be reviewedannually.
Independence Police Sgt. AmySchworer will be the first femalepolice chief in Northern Kentucky
when she takesover as head ofthe Park Hillspolice depart-ment Aug. 30.
“I am veryexcited aboutbeing a chief,”she said. “It’sexhilarating.”
Schworer willtake the place of current PoliceChief Rick Smith, who is retiring.Kenton and Campbell countyattorneys Garry Edmondson andJim Daley agree that Schworer isthe first female police chief inNorthern Kentucky. In BooneCounty, a female sheriff was elect-ed in 1943.
While Schworer, who has 20years’ experience in law enforce-ment and has spent more thaneight years with Independence, isaware that her position will bebreaking new ground, she plans towin the confidence of residentswith her dedication to the commu-nity and an open-door policy.
“I’m looking to motivate peo-ple,” she said. “I won’t be askingpeople to do anything that I’m notwilling to do myself. It’s all aboutus working together.”
Once Schworer creates a good“foundation” with Park Hills and
her six officers, she plans for thedepartment to get more involvedin the community and seek stateaccreditation.
“When people get to know lawenforcement officers, they seewe’re people, too. I think once acommunity partnership is estab-lished, those walls start to comedown,” she said.
Schworer credits the Indepen-dence Police Department and ChiefShawn Butler for her advance-ment, adding, “It speaks volumesabout Independence and howthey’re bringing up new leaderswith education, support andencouragement.”
Park Hills Mayor Michael Hell-mann said Schworer was the city’sfirst interview for chief, and she
“set the bar high.”“She has a very positive per-
sonality that comes across as soonas you meet her,” he said. “Sheshowed up 20 minutes early tothe interview, which is always agood thing.”
Hellmann said Schworeralready has an excellent “grasp”on what Park Hills is all about.
“Amy is going to do a lot forthe city,” he said.
Schworer’s hiring also bringsan official end to police depart-ment merger talks between FortWright and Park Hills. Upon thenews of Smith’s retirement, FortWright approached Park Hillsabout the possibility of a com-bined police force. After discus-sion, Park Hills City Council
agreed unanimously to keep itscurrent department not only forcost reasons, but also for the sakeof residents, Hellmann said.
“Most people feel more safewhen they see a Park Hills policeofficer driving down their streets,”he said.
Expense-wise, the merger was-n’t feasible for Park Hills, Hell-mann said.
In addition to merging costssuch as new uniforms or re-strip-ing the police cars, preliminarynumbers from Fort Wright were$60,000 more than what the citycurrently pays, $500,000, for thesame number of officers.
“Why would you pay more forthe same level of service?” heasked.

Returning this year is acourt-martial of a Confeder-ate soldier, administered bythe Ninth Kentucky Volun-
teer Infantry or the OrphanBrigade.
“One of their memberswanted to go AWOL so hewas tried and convicted byhis fellow soldiers,”Clements laughed. “It wasvery popular last year.”

“I don’t know that some peoplerealize how big this is,” she said.“It’s basically like a mini-Olympics, and it’s going to be anabsolute blast.”
In addition to the numerous
competitions, Borgert said therewill be other activities going onduring the games too, such as atrade fair featuring a variety ofvendors, as well as numerousmusic shows and unlimited equinecelebrations.
There will also be a special“Kentucky Experience” programset up by the state, which willallow visitors from other statesand countries to get a feel for whatmakes Kentucky so unique, fromthe bourbon to the basketball tothe horse racing.

For her part, Borgert said she’slooking forward to the eventingcompetition, because of the quali-ty of the competitors, as well asthe variety the event offers. For-merly an avid competitor in ridingevents, she said she has devel-oped a fine eye for watching theevents.

Battery Hooper Days back for sixth year in Fort Thomas
Zach Stegman eyed his targetas he raised his arms slowly intoposition, keeping his frontshoulder low and aligning hisback elbow with his hand,before carefully drew back thebow.
Then, in the blink of an eye,the bow flew forward, sendingthe arrow whistling through theair toward the soft padding ofthe target.
THUMP!!He lowered his bow and cast
his gaze out to the target to
check out his aim. Satisfied withthe result, he reached for anoth-er arrow from the ground quiver,and started the set-up again.
Stegman was one of the par-ticipants in the annual ArcheryCamp, put on at Fort MitchellPark by resident Joe Oka, a cer-tified instructor.
The camp teaches the basicsof archery to anyone over theage of 10, including firing posi-tion, alignment, aiming tech-niques, and safety procedures.
After learning the “12 stepsto Archery Safety,” campers getto show off what they learnedon a half-dozen targets near the
baseball field, with a giant sheetproviding the backdrop andcatching any spare arrows orerrant shots.
“Safety is the biggest thingwe have to learn,” said Oka dur-ing his intorductory speech onAugust 9.
“If someone were to get hurt,we’d probably have to stopdoing this, so we want to makeextra sure we’re following theprocedures. It’s better safe thansorry.”
The camp is held every yearin early August. For more infor-mation about the camp, visitwww.fortmitchell.com.

When Sue Greis, the new prin-cipal at St. Henry School inElsmere, started her new positionthis summer, something wasmissing.
“I don’t like an empty schoolbuilding - I’m ready for the kids tobe here,” she said in mid-Julywhile getting some paperworktogether. “That’s why we all dowhat we do- to work with kids.”
She won’t have to wait muchlonger.
With most local school districtsset to resume classes soon, stu-dents and parents will notice anumber of changes this year, witheverything from new teachersand staff to entirely new schoolbuildings. There will also be somechanges in curriculum for manyteachers, as they adjust to meetthe state’s new content standards.
“The new standards are a lotmore defined and specific, which Ithink will really help the teach-ers,” said Erlanger/Elsmere Super-intendent Kathy Burkhardt.
“This puts the state more inline with national standards, andgives us a well-defined goal toshoot for, so I think we’re all excit-ed to get started.”
In Kenton County, one of thefocuses for the upcoming year will
be the increased use of technologyin the classrooms. In fact, therewere extra sessions added to theannual Professional Growth Acad-emy this year just to offer teachersmore training on SmartBoards, theinteractive whiteboard that thedistrict hopes to have in everyclassroom soon.
“There are definitely things atPGA that teachers will be able toimplement in their classrooms thevery first week of school,” saidDeneen Zimmerman, the district’sdirector of elementary education.“The academy just helps us tooffer things that we know are onthe cutting edge in education.”
In addition to the new stan-dards and teaching methods, therewill also be a different look forquite a few schools in the area.
In Erlanger, work is continuingat the new Lloyd Memorial HighSchool, which is about halfwayfinished and opened to studentslast year, while Lindeman Ele-mentary School will sport a newroof in addition to the landscapingwork completed by volunteers lastMay.
Beechwood Elementary Schoolwill show off their new buildingwhen classes resume this year,with the first phase of constructionhaving been completed, including
new classrooms, and administra-tive offices. Finally, Kenton Coun-ty will open the new Turkey FootMiddle School this year, the latestin their series of energy-efficientschools.
“This is something we’ve beenexcited about for quite sometime,” said Beechwood Superin-tendent Glen Miller this summerwhile examining the new build-ing, which sits where the parkinglot used to be. “This is going to bea great benefit for our students.”
However, despite the changes,there’s one thing that will remainconstant in each school, accordingto Burkhardt.
“We’re just going to do what-ever we can to provide the besteducation possible,” she said.“That’s the goal we have everyyear and that’s not going tochange.”
Most schools will be holdingparent orientations, open housesand back-to-school bashes in thecoming weeks to welcome stu-dents and answer questions fromparents. The first day of class forthe Erlanger/Elsmere School Dis-trict will be August 17, while Ken-ton County will start on August 18and Beechwood will begin onAugust 19. Most schools in theCovington Diocese will also startclasses on August 18.

Judy Gerwe’s first day asprincipal of St. Pius X willrequire at least one “small”change from what she’sbeen used to.
“I’ve gotten so used toworking with the highschool kids that I’m going tohave to learn how to workwith younger kids,” saidGerwe, who spent the pastseven years as the assistantprincipal at Notre DameAcademy. “But that’s alsowhat I’m looking forward tothe most - I can’t wait!”
Gerwe takes over forBetty Trenkamp, who wasthe principal at St. Pius for12 years. Gerwe, who alsotaught at Notre Dame for 21years, said her last officialday at NDA was June 30,and her first official day atSt. Pius was July 1.
“I went from one rightinto the other,” she said.“It’s been a lot of work, butit’s also been fun to meeteveryone and start learningmy way around here.”
Gerwe, an Independenceresident, said she knew shewas ready to be a principalthis year, having earned aMaster’s degree in educa-tion and a principal’s certifi-cation from Xavier Univer-sity. She originally beganteaching at Notre Dame in1988.
But now, as she isadjusting to working withthe younger students at St.Pius, where the oldest kidsare eighth-graders, she saidshe plans to spend as muchtime as possible in the class-rooms. She said she hasspent a good part of the
summer meeting the facultyand staff as she’s been atthe school, and has alsomanaged to meet some ofthe students as well.
“I’m really excited to getto work with the kids,because that will be a differ-ent dynamic than I’ve beenused to,” she said. “It willtake a different approach,but I love working withkids, and I think I’ll reallyenjoy that aspect of thisposition.”
She said the abundanceof parental and communitysupport were also big sellingpoint for her as she took thejob. She talked about onestory she heard from ateacher this summer, whotalked about a school groupthat needed 200 cupcakeson short notice for a func-tion last year.
A few frantic phone callsto parents later, those cup-cakes, plus some extras,were on the way to theschool.
“That right there justtells me the kind of support
we have here, and that’sone of the most importantthings you need to make aschool successful,” she said.“This is a tremendousschool in a great communi-ty, and I’m blessed to havethis opportunity.”

To say Logan Purnell isadopting a different look ashe prepares for high schoolwould be a bit of an under-statement.
Purnell, who is enteringhis freshman year at Dixie
Heights, recently cut hishair for the first time in fouryears as part of the Locks ofLove program, which pro-vides hairpieces for cancerpatients. Purnell, whobegan growing his hair longas a fifth-grader, committedto the Locks of Love ideashortly after finding out that
his grandmother had beendiagnosed with cancer.
“I figured this was some-thing small that I could do,”he said. “It wasn’t really abig deal for me to grow itlong, and if it could helpsomebody, then I thought itwould be a good idea.”
However, the long hairlook didn’t initially go overwell with everyone in hisfamily.
“To be honest, I wasn’ttoo thrilled with him havingthis really long hair,”recalled his dad, Jason, witha smile. “He’s a great kidwho has never been in trou-ble, but people sometimesmakes quick judgmentsbased on appearance, and Ijust didn’t want that hap-pening to him.”
As Logan recalls, evenhis grandmother wasn’t afan at first.
“I don’t think she reallyliked it until I told her why Iwas doing it,” he said.“Once I explained it, then Ithink she was okay with thewhole idea.”
With plenty of time toadjust, Logan said his fami-ly and friends began toaccept the long-hair look,and after a while, he never
gave it a second thought,even as it continued togrow.
However, with summerwinding down this year,Logan finally decided it wastime to go under the scis-sors. Along with his momand best friend, he went toNoah’s Art Salon in Coving-ton on August 3, whereonce they learned of hisintentions, they cut his hairfor free and shipped it to thelocal chapter of Locks ofLove.
“They were just awe-some, wanting to help usout for a great cause,” saidLogan’s mom, Julie. “I justthink it’s neat, becausethere’s not a lot of boys hisage who will grow their hairthis long to participate inthis kind of program, butLogan just really wanted todo it. ”
The act of cutting thehair was another matter, asafter four years’ worth ofgrowth, the stylists hadtheir work cut out for them.After some careful examina-tions of his locks, they wereable to separate his hair intofour ponytails, each oneapproaching 13 inches inlength, before starting totrim. They also braided onelock of hair for Logan tokeep as a reminder of hisdedication to the program.
Now, the new-lookLogan is just hoping peoplewill still recognize him.
“I think we all got usedto his long hair, so this isgoing to be an adjustment,”said Julie. “He looks like anentirely different person!But we’re just so proud ofhim for thinking about oth-ers this way - he’s just a ter-rific kid.”
“It definitely feel differ-ent,” added Logan, rubbingthe back of his neck whichused to be hidden by hisflowing locks. “But I’m gladI did it.”
Even better, Logan saidhis grandmother is doingbetter in her fight againstcancer, and said he’d defi-nitely consider growing hishair out again to participatein Locks of Love.
“If it can help someoneand make a difference, thenI’d definitely think aboutdoing it again,” he said.“There are people who needit more than me, so I justwant to help out in any waythat I can.”

While they have dominatedNorthern Kentucky girls’ golf inrecent years, Notre Dame Acade-my hasn’t threatened to win thestate title in that time.
The Pandas hope to changethat this year as they have one oftheir deepest teams in recentmemory, second-year head coachKaren Henderson said.
“I’m excited about my depth,”Henderson said.
“They’ve worked hard all win-ter on their game and on condi-tioning. They’re learning how tothink on the course.”
NDA was ninth at state lastyear after winning the regionaltitle, and Henderson said they are
motivated to fin-ish higher thisyear.
The Pandashad a strong firstweek of the2010 season. Atthe Owen Coun-ty tournament,the Pandas werethird with a
team score of 317 (top four play-ers’ scores count), which Hender-son said was the best team scorein her two years. Sacred Heart anddefending state champ GreenCounty were the top two teams,with SHA finishing at 310.
Henderson was thrilled the No.5 player in her lineup shot 79.
“We were up against the topteams in the state,” Henderson
said. “The girls saw they can com-pete. They are very goal-oriented.Their No. 1 goal is to be competi-tive at state.”
NDA hasn’t won the state titlesince 1983. Henderson said GreenCounty will be tough to beat thisyear, but the Pandas will work toget up there.
The team has three veteranseniors in Angela Pugliano,Kelsey Kennedy and Carly Met-zger. Ali Cheesman shot 77 and78 her first two tournaments. Syd-ney Swingos, Nicole Volpenhein,and Haley Berling are otherreturning players.
Standout freshman Jill Edging-ton has a strong future, Hender-son said.
“Her length is incredible,” Hen-derson said.
“She doesn’t let stress get toher. The next four years you’ll seea lot from her. The seniors havetaken her under their wing.”
The Pandas were set to host
their own tournament Aug. 10,then will be part of the VillaMadonna tournament Saturday,Aug. 14, at the Kenton Countycourses.
Here is information on other localgolf teams whose coaches submittedinformation to the Recorder:

“2010 will represent the deepestCCH golf team in quite some time,” head
coach Rob Schneeman said. “Our topfive to six players have a lot ofexperience and have shown that theycan consistently put up low numbers.”
Along with these players, we haveanother five to six that would make mostvarsity teams in Northern Kentucky.”
Schneeman said the depth shouldallow the players to practice more andbe able to take matches off to be freshfor the postseason.

The Scott High Schoolvolleyball team knows thecompetition in the NinthRegion is tough, but theEagles hope this is theiryear.
The Eagles are preparedto build on their landmark2009 season, when theywere 37-4 and lost in theNinth Region final to NotreDame.
“I think we have a goodshot,” head coach AndreaSullivan said. “We’ve neverbeaten St. Henry or NotreDame, and Holy Cross willbe tough in our district, sonothing is going to be easy.Hopefully we make historyby being the first publicschool to (win the region).”
Scott had a strong sum-mer leading into the newseason, capped by a sec-ond-place finish in the Blue-grass Games, which endedAug. 1 in Lexington. TheEagles have their highestpreseason ranking in thestate coaches poll, in eighthplace.
Scott went 7-1 in theBluegrass Games, only los-ing to sixth-ranked Henry
Clay in the finals. Along theway, Scott defeated No. 15Butler and No. 9 LouisvilleHoly Cross in the tourney.
Sullivan missed thattournament as it came daysafter the birth of her secondchild. She will return to theteam full-time sometime inmidseason. Assistant coachJeff Trame, a former HolyCross head coach, will takeover in the meantime.
Leading the way is thepair of “Twin Tower” Lau-
rens, including senior hitterLauren O’Conner, the 6-foot-5 powerhouse who hasalready committed to theUniversity of Kentucky.Lauren Tibbs, her 6-foot-4teammate and a Division Icollege prospect in basket-ball, also returns,
“(O’Conner) has playednonstop, so hopefully wecan keep her healthy,” Sulli-van said. “With as much asshe plays, she’s had verylittle time off. We need her
to be aggressive against thebigger teams.”
Scott lost two seniorstarters from last year butSullivan said their replace-ments gathered a lot ofplaying time in grooming totake over this season. Tay-lor Stinson will take over atsetter and Summer Man-ning at libero.
Other veteran returnersare a pair of Erin’s – Merschand Romito – and a thirdLauren, Trame. Mersch andTrame are also seniors.
“We’re working on ourblocking in practice, and ourpassing and serving,” Sulli-van said. “Obviously wehave the two tall girls. If wecan consistently get the ballto our setter, we’ll be verystrong.”
Sullivan is doubly proudof her team’s performancein the classroom.
The Eagles were recentlyhonored by the AmericanVolleyball Coaches Associa-tion with a Team AcademicAward. The Eagles had a3.9 team GPA for the 2009-10 school year.
They were one of onlyfour Kentucky teams hon-ored by the AVCA, and theonly one in Northern Ken-tucky.
“That says a lot aboutthe type of team we have,”Sullivan said. “3.9 is reallygood for one person, butwhen you have it as theaverage for 12 or 13 girls,it’s very strong. We takeacademics very seriously.They have great time man-agement.”
Scott opens the season atHolmes Aug. 19 and debutsat home Aug. 26 againstLafayette. The Eagles willhost their annual SeptemberSlam Sept. 3-4.

Last questionHow much of a difference
will Terrell Owens make for theBengals, both on the field andoff the field?
“The Bengals will be in themedia on the sports page and onthe police blotter.”
G.G.
“If the Bengals can keep theirplayers out of jail, he might makea huge difference in the team’soverall confidence and playingability. However, I don’t care forany professional sport ... anddon’t understand all the hypeanyway.”
Florence, Ky.
“Off the field, Owens will bringlots of attention to Cincinnati andthe Bengals. On the field, not somuch. The Bengals have aninconsistent quarterback and anoffensive line that is lacking inprotecting the quarterback. Justread Palmer’s stats and the num-ber of quarterback sacks in thelast couple of years. I haven’tquite figured out how TerrellOwens will give us what weNEED. What a waste of money.”

“It’s anybody’s guess. On onehand, he has some impressiveseasons (2000-2002 with SanFrancisco and 2007-2008 withDallas), but on the other hand,the ability of anyone to endurethe rigors of professional footballand continue to excel is limited.
“Owens is only three yearsyounger than Brett Favre, and hisposition (wide receiver) is proba-bly more demanding in terms ofstamina than Brett. For now, atleast for a year or so, the team of
Chad and Terrell will be a formida-ble challenge for the Bengals’opponents.”

“Hard to tell this early, butsince he has a reputation of speed,and with Ochocinco on the otherend of the line, the chances ofmore scoring might be greater forthis season.”

“While Terrell’s arrival wascovered in a positive way and hebehaved quite well, his pastactions with multiple teams wor-ries me. I hope he has maturedand is now ready to be a teamplayer instead of the prima donnawe’ve seen too much of in thepast.
“My son and I have seasontickets and plan to give him a realchance. We just hope he doesn’tgive us any reason to boo him.”

“I was not in favor of TerrellOwens becoming a Bengal. Hecertainly didn’t come here witheven a hint of humility. I surehope he proves worth it on thefield and that he doesn’t prove tobe a distraction in the lockerroom.”

QQuueessttiioonn: I’ve had severalvegetable problems in my gardenthis year. The leaves of my toma-toes and beans are covered withhundreds of pin-point sized whiteor yellow dots, and there is a fine“sandy” webbing beneath theleaves, which have turned off-color, sort of yellow-green. Thefruits of my tomatoes and pep-pers have some off-color blotchesor cloudy areas on the surface ofthe fruit that are yellowish-ivorycolored and hard-fleshed in thoselighter-colored areas just underthe skin. Are these insect prob-lems or a disease?
AAnnsswweerr: The off-color leavesand webbing is caused by spidermites (discussed later in this arti-cle), but the damage to yourtomato and pepper fruits is causedby stink bugs. Stink bug feedingon peppers and tomatoes causes alight colored corky area justunderneath the skin of the fruit.These damaged areas are visiblethrough the skin.
There has been a lot of stinkbug damage in local gardens thisyear. Damage was common earlyin the season on corn. The samespecies of stink bugs, the brownand green stink bugs, attack pep-
pers, with thebrown beingmore difficult tocontrol. Therehave also beensimilar reportsof stink bugdamage totomatoes.
Adult stinkbugs migratefrom weedyareas onto thegarden toma-toes and pep-
pers, particularly when the weedyplants begin to decline. Continualweed management throughoutthe season in and around gardenshelps to reduce stink bug immi-gration onto your vegetables.
In terms of insecticidal control,home gardeners can usemalathion, horticultural oil,Neem, pyrethrum, or thepyrethroids (containing activeingredients ending in “thrin” suchas permethrin, bifenthrin,cyfluthrin). These chemicals willprovide only fair to good controlof stink bugs, so weed control isvery important.
It also helps to use less mulcharound plants, since a heavylayer of mulch provides desirable
habitat for stinkbugs. When pos-sible, handpick egg masses,nymphs and adult bugs fromplants. Also till the soil lightly infall or early spring to disturb theover-wintering habitat.
High temperature and lowhumidity are two of the key ingre-dients needed to cause an out-break of spider mites on manyfruit and vegetable crops. Toma-toes, beans, muskmelons, water-melons, sweet corn and apples arevery susceptible to spider mites.
Extended periods of hot, dryweather lead to mite buildup.Infestations usually first occur onnearby weeds. Generally mitesfeed on the undersides of leaves.Leaves of mite infested plantsmay turn yellow and dry up, andplants may lose vigor and diewhen infestations are severe.
The underside of affectedleaves appear tan or yellow andhave a crusty texture. Heavyinfestations of the two-spottedspider mite produce fine webbingwhich may cover the entire plant.For control, use Malathion, butnot Sevin, since Sevin can resultin a buildup of mites.
The support of our veteransand our troops was once againdemonstrated through the gener-ous donations of a local citizenand local business owners.
Last year the Northern Ken-tucky Blue Star Mothers of Amer-ica, Chapter 5, and the U.S.Marine Riders Association tookpart in “Wreaths Across Ameri-ca,” a program to lay wreaths atthe graves of veterans who gavethe ultimate sacrifice for our coun-try.
Virginia McKenney of George-town, Ky., saw the wreath on herhusband’s grave and she came upwith a way to help the cause. Shemade a patriotic quilt, donated itto the American Legion AuxiliaryUnit 24 where she is a very activemember and requested they usethe quilt as a way to raise moneyfor the Wreath Across Americaprogram. Virginia then called BlueStar Mothers of America’s North-ern Kentucky Chapter 5 presidentLorene Friedman of Florence andoffered to sell chances on the quiltand donate the money to theWreaths Across America project.She has made several hundreddollars which will be donated to
the wreathsproject.
Virginia wasselling chancesat the GrantCounty Fair lastweek when shewas approachedby Mike andJoyce Caudillwho said theywere aware ofthe troop andveteran supportefforts of North-ern Kentucky’sBlue Star Moth-
ers and had donated to them inthe past. Mr. Caudill said theyowned two businesses in North-ern Kentucky, Time Auto Sales inWalton and Covington, and want-ed to donate $2,000 from eachbusiness to the Wreaths AcrossAmerica project.
Virginia McKenney, Al Dun-can, director of WilliamstownNorth VA Cemetery, and LoreneFriedman met with Mike andJoyce Caudill at their place of busi-ness on Aug. 3. The Caudills pre-sented them with two checks for$2,000 each to honor theirpledge. Mr. Caudill also donated600 Frisbees to Blue Star Mothers
to be sent to our troops in harm’sway. We have recently been toldthat the troops like to use the Fris-bees to help search out impro-vised explosive devices by skim-ming them close to the ground.Blue Star Mothers plan on usingmagic markers to add a greetingto each one before they are sentover. The Caudills then gaveLorene a promise that she wouldalso be receiving 500 Matchboxcars to send to the troops. Theycan either play with them or givethem to the local children to helppromote our goodwill efforts.
A gift is always more preciouswhen you know that it comesfrom the heart of the giver. TheseNorthern Kentucky citizens gavefrom the bottom of their hearts toa cause that honors those whogave the ultimate gift. Our ser-vicemen and women sacrificetheir lives for the freedoms eachand every one of us enjoy everyday.
God bless America and all thewonderful people that supportand honor our military … past,present and future.

The members of Northern Ken-tucky Choice are encouraged thatthe Boone County Fiscal Court,after giving serious considerationto this matter, have reached theconclusion that smoking bans areindeed harmful to many busi-nesses and the community as awhole.
“With the overwhelmingmajority of restaurants alreadysmoke-free by their own choice,we are pleased that the BooneCounty Fiscal Court has recog-
nized that such a law would haveonly expanded bureaucracy andrequired higher taxes for enforce-ment,” said Boone County resi-dent and Northern KentuckyChoice spokesperson Eric Cranley.
Many business owners in Ken-ton County fear the possibility ofa ban, as they stand to lose bothbusiness gained from Ohio con-sumers who choose NorthernKentucky because they cansmoke, and Kenton smokers toBoone County.
“This combination wouldcrush Kenton County businessesand lead to a higher tax burdenon the citizens of Kenton County,”said NKYChoice Executive Direc-tor Brian Houillion said. “Thereare already enough empty store-fronts in our Central Business Dis-tricts and shopping centersthroughout the region. We do notwant to turn our historic down-town areas into ghost towns.”
“Consumers have asked forsmoke-free venues, by voting
with their feet, and the business-es have reacted accordingly. Nolaw is required, and the interac-tion of our market system willcontinue to work. The BooneCounty Fiscal Court recognizedthis. Hopefully, the Fiscal Courtsof Kenton and Campbell countieswill see this, as well,” said KenMoellman, another NKYChoicespokesperson.
In recent weeks, NorthernKentucky Choice has beenapproached by mayors and city
councilmen within Kenton andCampbell counties who feel thatthe cities have not been consultedfor input into this matter, despitebeing the most negatively impact-ed from any smoking ban.
“We will continue to work withthe community, business owners,local elected officials, and otherissues groups to continue toadvise them on the adverse con-ditions which historically accom-pany smoking bans,” Houillionsaid.
With a new poll showingsupport sliding for Ohio’s smokingban, and Kentucky countiesconsidering a ban, how effective doyou think such bans are?

One Independence man rode 328miles for the cause during the Ameri-can Cancer Society’s Fourth AnnualPan Ohio Hope Ride July 29 to Aug. 1.
Michael Rinken cycled from Cleve-land to Cincinnati in four days, goingas much as 100 miles or a “century”one of the days.
“You can’t ask for a better cause. Itis a personal challenge and a prettybig time commitment and you’reproud to say you’ve done it,” said thefather of seven.
Each participant in the Hope Ride isasked to raise $2,500 prior to the race.Rinken and his two teammates man-aged to raise more than $7,000 tocontribute to the final total of close to$400,000.
Proceeds will benefit the AmericanCancer Society’s Hope Lodges, whichprovide housing to cancer patientswho travel for treatment.
Of the 360 riders, only 25 werefrom Cincinnati, Rinken said; addingthat’s something he wants to change.
“There’s a pretty big cycling com-munity here in Cincinnati. After thisride, we’re taking it upon ourselves tospread awareness and get the wordout and have a better showing inCincinnati,” Rinken said.
Rinken, who is originally fromMinnesota, picked up biking in Col-orado to lose weight, but that exercisequickly turned into a passion, some-thing that is evident when he talksabout his plans to cycle later on a 90-plus degree day.
“It melts the stress away and takesme out of my day,” he said.
Rinken brought that love of cyclingto his employer, FRCH Design World-
wide in Cincinnati, where he headedup the cycling team. The team trainsall year and picks one big charity rideeach year.
The Hope Ride was the longest ride
Rinken had ever participated in.Rinken and his co-workers cycled
all four days at the Hope Ride, whichwas optional. Rinken would get up at6 a.m. in the morning and be off by 7a.m. The cyclists rode more than 50miles each day and would stop for thenight at colleges along the way fromCleveland to Cincinnati.
By the fourth day, you start to wearphysically and mentally, Rinken said,but they made it.
“I needed to prove to myself that Icould do this. I wanted to prove tomyself that I could finish strong.”
Public Relations Director of North-west & Southwest Ohio Peter Osbornesaid the Hope Ride’s funding of HopeLodges has helped cancer patients dealwith traveling for treatment.
“Not only is it a cost savings of mil-lions and millions of dollars over theyears, but also Hope Lodges become asupport network because of all thefolks that are there because they’reeither fighting cancer or caring forsomeone who is fighting cancer.”

The word friend can be acatch-all word.
Some people boast abouttheir Facebook friends, “Ihave 75 friends.” Othersreply, “Oh, I have 125,250,or 410, on mine!”
High numbers make usfeel popular and wanted.
In his talks on friend-ships, priest psychologistHenri Nouwen made somehelpful distinctions. He saidthere are five categories ofpeople we call friends.
The categories movefrom an outermost circle(where intimacy is weak) toan inner circle (where theintimacy factor is strongest).
The criterion for deter-mining these five levels offriendship is the degree andquality of mutual self-dis-closure involved.
Acquaintances are theouter category people. Weonly know each othersuperficially.
They may be a teacher;other parents we meet atfield-side watching our kidsplay soccer; someone in ouryoga class or that we met
on theInternet; adown-the-s t r e e tneighbor,etc.
T h et o p i c sw i t hacqua in-tances arethe weath-er, sports,
newspaper items, schoolissues, life generalities, etc.There’s familiarity but nodepth of communication. Ifwe never see them again itdoesn’t matter.
Colleagues. These arethe people with whom wework, volunteer, or meetwhile doing a project. WhenI taught high-school I wasone of 71 teachers. We werefriendly, joked, ate lunchtogether and chatted in thestaff room.
Our topics were usuallyschool issues, certain stu-dents, athletics, gripesabout the administration orparents, or a good moviewe’ve seen.
At times there was a littlemore conversation into fam-ily or personal issues thanwith acquaintances, but notmuch.
Relatives. These“friends” are the assortedgroup of our grandparents,aunts and uncles, marriagein-laws, cousins, etc.
We may see them oftenor then again only at wed-dings, funerals, holidaysand reunions. But we havea history together and moreknowledge about eachother.
We may exchange minorconfidences or problemssuch as how Uncle Bradwas involved in some kindof shady business deal; Pamis coping with being bi-polar; and Kimberly had abrief but passionate affairwith a married man.
But being a relative doesnot mean we necessarilychoose them as deeper inti-mates.
Family and friends.These are the people withwhom we spend a greatdeal of our time and carry
fondly in our hearts – par-ents, siblings, spouse, chil-dren, lifelong friends, etc.
They know us betterthan anyone. There is adeeper feeling of affection,mutual support, and trust. Ifwe lose one of them indeath we grieve profoundly.
Family members share alot with each other, but noteverything. A psychologi-cally healthy person has hisor her own boundaries,inner life, secrets and indi-viduality.
These components ofintimacy are shared onlywith someone of our ownchoice, and it is usuallysomeone who is not a bloodrelative.
Intimate friends. Thisis the innermost circle of
human friendship. It is usu-ally our spouse or closestfriend. Such a friendship isextremely difficult to devel-op, and sadly, is even lack-ing in some marriages.
Recent studies indicatethat compared to similarpolls in the 1980s, there arefewer people today whobelieve they have a first-cir-cle intimate friend.
It requires mutual trust,in-depth and honest com-munication, and time.
Our Facebook count maygive us the impression thatwe have a thousand friends.But it’s unlikely that thismost intimate-type friend isjust one of the crowd.
This most significant cat-egory is not achieved if ourcommunication is chiefly
through e-mail or texting. Acrucial element is missing –presence.
Such a friend is a uniquetreasure and requires muchopenness and communica-tion.
I have remembered foryears the wise words of acollege teacher of mineabout this truest kind offriend: “If in your lifetime,you have one, or two, suchpersons in your life, consid-er yourself fortunate.”

Father LouGuntzelmanPerspectives
There are friends and then there’s a friend
Making Strides walk is Oct. 17
The temperature on ourthermometer registered103.2 this afternoon.
And in the house, it was-n’t much cooler since I had
been mak-ing elder-berry jellyand berryjams withmy sister,Edith andneighbor,Sandy.
But itmade met h i n kabout kidsand adults
who are outdoors andinvolved in sports. Properhydration is so important togood health and optimumperformance.
What I worry most aboutkids in this weather is that Iknow it takes longer for achild’s body to adjust toheat and humidity thandoes an adult’s, so we maynot recognize when a childis in trouble, hydrationwise.
Kids produce more bodyheat and don’t sweat asmuch as we do at the sameexertion level, so in hotweather, a young athlete isat increased risk for dehy-dration.
And remember, waterworks as a shock absorberin the body, so being
hydrated protects joints, forboth kids and adults.
That’s why today I’msharing recipes for goodhydration. It’s that impor-tant.
And be sure and checkon older folks, too. Theycan become dehydratedwithout realizing it.
Homemade sportsdrink for kids
From my co-authoredbook “The Official SnackGuide For BeleagueredSports Parents.” Check outcolleague Dawn Weather-wax Fall’s websiteSN2go.com for more infor-mation on hydration andkeeping your athletehealthy.
To dilute a powderedjuice drink, or juice fromconcentrate, use at leasttwice the water recom-mended. Diluting the juicemay taste weak, but it willhydrate your child and giveenergy for the game.
Rita’s spa waterI shared this recipe with
Amy Tobin on her Aug. 8radio show on Q102. Checkout Amystable.com for thecomplete interview.
Amy loves this drink,and so does everyone whotries it. Here’s why: Lemons
contain vitamin C, whichhelps heal bruises, preventscancer and heart disease.
Vitamin C is also a pow-erful antioxidant, and thebody uses vitamin C tomanufacture collagen –that’s the stuff that gluescells together and helpsheals cuts, etc.
Again, the vitamin Callows your body to absorbcalcium better. Susan Parkerof Susan’s Natural Worldadvises that lemons are agentle liver cleanser.
Lemons contain potassi-um, and we know thatnourishes the brain, heartand muscles. It also helpsyour body better utilize car-bohydrates and iron fromfood.
The mint is a great diges-tive and uplifting herb plusit “fools” your brain intothinking you’re fuller thanyou are. And stevia is a nat-ural sugar substitute herb.
Master recipe:Fill a jar or pitcher
halfway up with peppermintleaves, bruising the leavesas you go. Continue fillingabout 3⁄4 to the top withlemon slices, bruising theslices as you go.
Fill with good qualitywater, let infuse for 30 min-utes at least, and sweeten totaste. Use stevia, a naturalsugar substitute herb, which
is 30 to hundreds of timessweeter than sugar, or usehoney, or drink as is.
Check out my websiteabouteating.com for a videoand more information aboutstevia.
I like to add blueberries,raspberries or sliced straw-berries for a burst of colorand added nutrition. Thisdrink is refillable.
Frappé like McDonald’sHow about this on a blis-
tering hot day? Reader TomOhmer has been looking fora recipe.
When I called McDon-ald’s, I got a long list ofingredients. It started outwith normal items likewater, cream, sugar, milk,coffee extract, Dutch cocoa,
etc.Then it got dicey with
words only a chemist couldunderstand. Years ago incooking school, we made abase for fun drinks and it issimilar to recipes I found forthis drink. So here’s mytake on it.
Mix together:1⁄3 cup instant coffee, dry,
crushed1 cup sugar1 cup dry milk powder3⁄4 cup nondairy creamer1⁄2 cup Dutch cocoaDash or two of salt
To make frappé:Put a couple handfuls of
ice in a blender. Add 1⁄2 cupof half & half. Pour in 1⁄2 cupof mix. Blend on high untilsmooth. Garnish withwhipped cream and choco-late syrup.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen• Non-alkalized, or natu-
ral, which is the traditionaltype.
• Dutch/alkalized has amilder taste, reduced acidityand is somewhat redder incolor.
• Special dark is a blendof the two.

RELIGION NOTES
When Kayarash Karimi-an moved to Fort Mitchellfrom Iran several yearsback, he wanted to getinvolved in his new com-munity and feel like he wasmaking a difference.
Big Brothers Big Sistersof Greater Cincinnatibelieves he’s done just that.
Two years ago while atDixie Heights High School,Kayarash approached theorganization about becom-ing a Big Brother in theschool-based program.
He was matched with achild from the agency’swaiting list, a boy namedLarry at Lindeman Elemen-tary.
The mentoring relation-ship had a rocky start.Kayarash couldn’t get Larryto talk or open up at all, anddidn’t know how to playAmerican games likeYahtzee and Jenga, whichLarry loved.
As his Little Brother tookthe lead and taught him thegames, Kayarash watched
Larry’s confidence grow.Now Kayarash is busy
helping Larry find answersto all his questions, fromones about the solar sys-tems to the ones he has forhomework.
He also helped his LittleBrother learn that strongcommunication skills arethe foundation for healthyrelationships.
Kayarash’s dedication tomentoring, and to hisfriendship with Larry,earned him the award of BigBrother of the year from Big
Brothers Big Sisters ofGreater Cincinnati.
There are school-basedprograms like this one inmany Tristate schools.
To volunteer as a BigBrother or Big Sister, or formore information, go towww.bigsforkids.org or call513-421-4120.
Karimian is Big Brother of the Year
American humorist andliterary icon Mark Twain iscredited with once famouslychiding Cincinnati for being20 years behind the rest ofthe world. If he was predict-ing a local musical stagerevival of his best-knownnovel, he was nearly cor-rect.
The Carnegie Visual andPerforming Arts Center (TheCarnegie) opens its 2010-11Theatre Series with the laud-ed 1983 musical “Big River:The Adventures of Huckle-berry Finn” during the
100th anniversary year ofthe passing of Mark Twain.
“Big River” plays week-ends Aug. 20 through Sept.4 in the historic Otto M.Budig Theatre.
Tickets are $19 to $26and are available at TheCarnegie Box Office, 859-957-1940, or www.the-carnegie.com.
The 2010-11 TheatreSeries is presented by Mari-lyn & Martin Wade andChalk Food + Wine.
Born Samuel LonghornClemens in 1835, Twain
died one century ago thisyear, leaving a legacy as“the father of American liter-ature,” according to WilliamFaulkner. His prowess as ahumorist doubtless appealedto another late Americanicon, Roger Miller, set out tocompose a score to accom-pany the 1884 novel andplaywright William Haupt-man's script. Miller's musicalversion of Huck Finn wouldplay more than 1,000 per-formances in its originalBroadway run.

FRANKFORT – The KentuckyHistorical Society (KHS) willexplore the internal conflicts of theCivil War when Nancy DisherBaird discusses “Josie Under-wood's Civil War Diary” at noonon Aug. 18 at the Thomas D.Clark Center for Kentucky Historyin Frankfort.
The KHS Museum Theatre pro-gram will also present “DearFriend: The Civil War Diaries ofAnnie McCarroll Starling,” a livetheatre performance, at the lunch-eon.
Food for Thought: “Civil WarDiaries” invites guests to take anin-depth look at two young ladies'diaries, which reflect the complex-ities of that era. One woman wasa slave owner who opposed Lin-coln, but remained loyal to theUnion. The other was a vehementsupporter of the Union who didnot own slaves. Both diariesdescribe the rifts between friendsand families that occurred whenloved ones fought on oppositesides in the war. But the diariesalso show lives that were refresh-
ingly normal at times, with entriesabout travels, parties, courtshipsand local gossip.
Baird, a teacher, author, speak-er and world traveler, has pub-lished many books and articles,including “Josie Underwood's CivilWar Diary.” She is recently retiredfrom the Kentucky Library atWestern Kentucky University(WKU). Her achievements includea WKU award for public serviceand the Sara Tyler Merit Award,which honors a member of theWKU faculty for outstanding ded-
icated service in the field of librar-ianship.
